Analyzing NIH KL2 Outcomes: A Pilot Study Using Administrative Data
Authors: VanEseltine Matthew , Calvin-Naylor Nancy , Owen-Smith Jason
Published: July 2021

Background: The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds “K” awards that provide both resources and access to mentoring believed to be invaluable for early career faculty. The KL2 Mentored Career Development Award trains early-career clinicians with the goal of guiding scholars toward an independent clinical and translational research career. This study presents the pilot of a systematic, low-burden method to examine scientific and career outcomes for these awardees, applying a novel set of linked administrative data. Methods: Clinical and Translational Science Award hubs administering KL2 awards at ten universities who participate in the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science (IRIS) provided names of scholars in their KL2 cohorts. Using extensive data on sponsored projects which IRIS member universities provide, we linked the KL2 scholars to information on subsequent publication, patent, and grant activity. Results: Analyses of linked data supported a rigorous, sustainable, low-cost approach to examining career outcomes. A subset of key metrics identified by CTSA evaluators were operationalized as an examination of the post-award careers of KL2 awardees. We successfully identified contemporaneous faculty with different NIH K Awards to use as comparison groups. The pilot culminated in university-specific and aggregate reporting to all participating hubs. Conclusions: This pilot demonstrates that substantive evaluations of early career programs are possible using administrative data from universities with low additional burden. Integration of research on career development outcomes offer new means to examine the effects of increasingly diverse funding, team, and collaborative network structures, advancing both knowledge about the workings of science and practices to support early career faculty. This approach could be extended to support rigorous multi-institutional evaluation and research on a range of student and faculty training mechanisms.

Precautionary proportionality principle as an instrumental preventive measure from the COVID-19: Can European human rights survive in the state of public health emergency?
Authors: Fan Jizeng , Wang Yuhong
Published: July 2021

The authors believe that the C. Schmitt’s notion of unconstraint sovereignty is not flawless. Both A. Dicey’s theory of British constitutional law and the international human rights instruments have required the measures of the derogation of human rights must be given in accordance with proportionality principle. However, these normative requirements have hardly been applied to the judicial scrutiny by the two supranational courts in Europe. Correspondingly, some European public authorities favour the more radical precautionary principle. Although this principle is more effective in suppressing the new coronavirus, it is associated with numerous side effects. Thus, the authors propose in this article an innovative concept of precautionary proportionality principle.

Using Smartphone Applications to Manage Chronic Conditions in Older Adults – A Review on Level of Evidence
Authors: Tanira Shaorin
Published: July 2021

Background: From health monitoring to health education and from behaviour change to falls sensing and health alerts to the simple pleasure of communication and connectedness, the mobile technologies (smartphone applications) are changing the lives of older adults.Objective: To examine current evidence of use of smartphones by older adults for health purposes (including communication, education, and health monitoring), and understand gaps and challenges in order to inform the design of future systems given the ubiquity of mobile phone technology.Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL and Google scholar databases were searched from October 2016 to January 2017. Keywords used include ‘smartphone apps’, ‘mobile phone’, ‘chronic disease’, ‘chronic condition’, ‘older adults’ and ‘elderly’. A total of 12 articles were selected for quality assessment and grading of evidence.Results: Twelve different articles were found and categorized into nine different clinical domains with specific health related interventions. Articles were focused on diabetes care (2 articles), followed by COPD (2 articles), heart disease (1 article), Alzheimer’s/dementia Care (2 articles), osteoarthritis and pain management (1 article), fall prevention (1 article), colon cancer (1 article), palliative care (1 article), chronic kidney disease (1 article). Areas of interest studied included feasibility, acceptability, functionality and thereby determining their effectiveness. There were many different clinical domains; however, most of the studies were pilot studies. Current work in using mobile phones for older adult use are spread across a variety of clinical domains. Findings from different studies indicate that the use of mobile phone interventions has the potential to support successful management of chronic conditions and health behaviour change in older adults.Conclusion: Perceived benefits and willingness to use the smartphone apps are high; however, technical training and cost are main concerns. A common problem with elderly users was their reluctance to press buttons due to the fear of breaking something which has been resolved by touch screen technology of the smartphones. However, the advanced user clicked around the screen until he found what he was looking for, while the others spent a lot of time observing the screen and trying to determine the correct step. Promotion of user-friendly apps are expected especially for older adults having a diminished physical and cognitive abilities.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 04 October’21 Page: 381-387

Authors: Vacas-Aguilar Francisco
Published: July 2021

The international launch of Disney+ in November 2019 marked the entry of Disney with its own brand into the market for direct sales of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) consumer services. This market, although with Netflix as a prominent leader, is still in a consolidation phase that could lead to the disappearance of many operators since although traditional pay TV operators, such as cable operators in the US, are developing their own platforms due to subscriber loss in their core business, all face new threats such as increased operating costs, the need to increase investment in own production and others derived from new consumption habits such as consumer fatigue. This article analyzes, through the applied case study methodology, Disney’s strategy to position Disney+ successfully in a short period of time and confirms findings from previous studies on the nature and evolution of the sector and trends like its high degree of concentration. which points to the complex reality of the SVOD market, the value that global brands would continue to have at this stage and finally allows us to analyze the real possibilities of creating a new streaming video market with lower entry barriers. Resumen El lanzamiento internacional de Disney+ en noviembre del 2019 significó la entrada de Disney con una marca propia en el mercado de la venta directa de servicios al consumidor de vídeo bajo demanda por suscripción (SVOD). Este mercado, aunque con Netflix como líder destacado, se encuentra en una fase de consolidación que podría llevar a la desaparición de muchos operadores, ya que aunque las cadenas de TV de pago, como los cableoperadores en EUA, están creando sus propias plataformas por la pérdida de abonados en su negocio principal, todos se enfrentan a nuevas amenazas como el aumento de los costes de operación, la necesidad de incrementar la inversión en producción propia y otras derivadas de los nuevos hábitos de consumo como la fatiga del consumidor. Este articulo analiza, mediante la metodología del caso de estudio aplicado, la estrategia de Disney para posicionar Disney+ con éxito en un corto periodo de tiempo y confirma hallazgos de estudios previos sobre la naturaleza y evolución del sector y tendencias como su alto grado de concentración, lo que apunta hacia la compleja realidad del mercado SVOD, el valor que siguen teniendo las marcas globales en esta etapa y finalmente permite analizar las posibilidades reales de crear un nuevo mercado del vídeo en streaming con menores barreras de entrada.

Mosquito-Borne Viral Infections in the Krasnodar Territory ~ Risks of Autochthonous Cases of the Disease
Authors: Lenshin S. V. , Patraman I. V. , Alkhovsky S. V. , Vyshemirsky O. I.
Published: July 2021

Introduction. Global climate changes affect the habitats of insects, including mosquitoes, which are carriers of dangerous natural focal infections. When mosquitos develop new territories, they create a potential threat to people who find themselves in these areas. In the Krasnodar Region, a stable population of Ae. albopictus mosquitoes was formed in the 21st century. These mosquitoes are carriers of many viral pyrrhoid-focal infections, such as Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika fever and Yellow fever. Estimations of biological, epidemiological and cultural data can help to answer the question of the probability of occurrence of autochthonous cases of infection.

Aim. To estimate the probability of occurrence of autochthonous cases of viral infections carried by Ae. albopictus mosquitoes on the territory of the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar territory. For the review, we used scientific publications describing the occurrence of autochthonous diseases in similar climate zones inhabited by Ae. albopictus mosquitoes, the biology of these mosquitoes, as well as official reports of the sanitary services of Europe and the Russian Federation. A stable population of Ae. albopictus mosquitoes has formed on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory. The local climate, including the temperature range is favourable for active reproduction of vectors and autochthonous transmission of viral infection.

Conclusion. Despite the favourable conditions for the release of mosquitoes and the formation of a stable population, autochthonous transmission requires the introduction of the source of infection during the viremia period to infect the mosquito population. In recent years, isolated cases of such drifts have been reported in the Krasnodar Territory, which indicates a low probability of local cases of transmission. However, with the development of the tourism sector, the flow of tourists from endemic areas will inevitably increase. In addition, the increase in the well-being of the population, trips to these countries will become more frequent this may well increase the risk of transmission of viral infections by local mosquitoes. In any case, the weakening of epidemic control of mosquitoes and medical surveillance of imported cases of tropical fevers will have serious consequences.

Authors: Pankov A. S. , Korneev A. G. , Nosyreva S. Yu.
Published: July 2021

Relevance. They did not learn completely the information of the distribution of morbidity by territory and population sex-age groups in the context of a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Aims. It is necessary to study COVID-19 distribution features among the population of the central Orenburg region administrative districts in June–December 2020.

Materials & Methods. We analyzed the results of the study of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 of the population of the Central Orenburg region for June-December 2020 (72 484 nasopharyngeal smears from 13 districts of the region). The presence of SARS-CoV2 RNA was detected by real-time reverse transcription PCR. The significance of differences in indicators was assessed using the paired Pearson test (p≤0.05; EPI-INFO, version 7.2.4; CDC).

Results. The share of positive findings was 15,5% of the studied material from 12,5% of the population. Registration of COVID 19 cases in the Central Orenburg region began in June 2020. They revealed a significant correlation between the dynamics of the districts population morbidity and the dynamics of examined persons number. The study of morbidity dynamics showed a significant growth with the registration of maximum values in October with a decrease in disease cases in December by 2 times. They identified the highest morbidity rates territories (Aleksandrovsky, Akbulaksky, Sharlyksky, Tyulgansky, Perevolotsky, Sol-Iletsky, Saraktashsky, Belyaevsky dist at the average regional level 2204,9 0 /0000 ). The distribution of cases by sex revealed the predominance of women disease cases (56,8%) over the men proportion (43,2%). Women dominated among adults under 65 years of age, while men dominated in the children's and over 65 years of age groups. However, the prevalence analysis for the given period showed the women dominance in all age groups in all the studied territories. They can conclude that there is a great women commitment to medical care. It was not possible to identify significant correlations between the morbidity level and the districts remoteness from Orenburg. It is likely that at modern communication speeds distances of 250–300 km are not a significant barrier to a new infection with a dominant airborne transmission pathway spread.

Conclusions. The study showed a mobidity significant growth for 2020. 8 of 13 territories under study became those of increased risk of morbidity. Cases of the disease ratio among men and women responds to the men and women ratio among the population. The age group of 0-18 was least affected. The analysis showed a morbidity reliable growth with increasing age of patients of both sexes and revealed a large inferiority of the female population.

Published: July 2021

Relevance. The widespread use of information technologies, both when creating a database based on the results of immunological monitoring of persons vaccinated with the live plague vaccine, and for predicting the effectiveness of measures for specific prevention of plague in a specific territory, is aimed at ensuring epidemiological surveillance of plague in the territories of natural foci of infection. The aim of the work was to analyze the application of the created replenished database, which allows accumulating, archiving and systematizing the results of immunological monitoring of persons vaccinated against plague for informational support of sanitary and epidemiological surveillance of plague in the territories of natural foci of infection.

Materials and methods. The database included the results of a prospective cohort observational study. The database was created on the Microsoft Access 8.0 platform, an interactive software development environment for Visual Basic 6.0 with VB (Visual Basic) and / or SQL (structured query language) queries. To store the data, TXT files connected to the database were used.

Results. Permanent (region of residence, age, sex, blood group, genovariants of the human leukocyte antigen HLA) and variable (indicators of cellular and humoral immunity) parameters obtained as a result of long-term immunological monitoring of persons vaccinated with the live plague vaccine according to epidemic indications have been archived. Using the information support of the Database, an assessment of the state of anti-plague immunity was carried out and screening indicators of the immune status of the contingent at risk were determined, characterizing the individual response to vaccination.

Conclusions. The introduction of information technologies, which are the basis for multifactorial risk management of vaccine prevention, based on the use of modern databases for collecting, storing and analyzing data, makes it possible to make management decisions to optimize the volume and timing of measures for specific prevention of plague in the territories of natural foci of infection and in institutions that ensure the implementation of work with pathogens of especially dangerous infections.

The presence of antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid was determined in blood serum by the enzyme immunoassay.

Results. Comparative analysis of the results showed that the incidence rate of COVID-19 in the Chelyabinsk region was consistently lower, and the seroprevalence at the first stage of the study was statistically significantly higher (p <0/05) than in the Sverdlovsk region. It was found that the incidence in both regions had a direct correlation with population density (r = 0.59; p <0.05). There were no differences between the compared areas in terms of seroprevalence among convalescents, people who had contact with COVID-19 patients, and asymptomatic volunteers with a positive PCR test. When analyzing seroprevalent volunteers in both regions, it was shown that the number of asymptomatic individuals varied within 94.4 ± 1.2% – 95.0 ± 0.95%. These data indicate that the majority of volunteers tolerated COVID-19 asymptomatically.

Conclusions. A comparative study showed a statistically significant predominance of seroprevalence among the population of the Chelyabinsk region. It was found that an increase in seroprevalence at the population level was accompanied by a decrease in morbidity. Shown is a direct relationship between population density and the incidence rate. More than 90% of seropositive individuals in the compared areas showed asymptomatic course of coronavirus infection.
A Transforming Path – The Pilgrims’ Songs
Authors: Butting Klara
Published: July 2021

This article introduces the composition of the Pilgrim Psalms (120–134). Psalm 122 plays a key role in this. Jerusalem, the destination of the trip, will be a stop on the way. The pilgrimage to the place of faith becomes a path to the points of suffering in society. The background comes into view with Psalm 123, a psalm lacking an expression of trust, the low point of the entire trip. It begins the spiritual work that always occurs in places of faith: The language of power and the language of religion have become intermingled and perverted perceptions of God. Psalm 123 counteracts this misunderstanding of God by addressing God. In Psalm 123 the power and nature of prayer can be experienced intensely. Prayer is the discovery of God’s surrender to us humans and an act of freedom in relation to the existing balance of power.
Disney’s Specific and Ambiguous Princess
Authors: Leon-Boys Diana
Published: July 2021

Bringing together discourses of Latina girlhood and ambiguity, in this article I interrogate Disney Junior’s specific and ambiguous Latinidad in three key episodes from the first season ofElena of Avalor. This type of intersectional analysis is seldom found in Disney scholarship, despite the relative abundance of existing work on Disney-generated cultural production. By analyzing the ambiguity (Joseph 2018) and unambivalent structure of ambivalence (Valdivia 2020) present in Disney’s deployment of animated Latina can-do girlhood (Harris 2004), in this article, I provide an intersectional approach to the study of Disney Junior animated content and Latina girlhood in contemporary popular culture. I argue thatElena of Avaloris the result of Disney’s avowed and disavowed dedication to the construction of Latinidad and can-do girlhood. The result of this is a fluctuation and flexible navigation between specificity and ambiguity within one narrative franchise.
German State Constitutional Courts
Authors: Reutter Werner
Published: July 2021

The article shows that two constitutional principles govern the election of justices and the composition of the 16 German state constitutional courts: democracy and the separation of powers. The recruitment of candidates, the vote on nominees in state parliaments, and the composition of benches of the courts in question support this assumption. There is no evidence indicating that a partisan takeover of German state constitutional courts has taken place. In addition, the majorities required for an appointment of justices of state constitutional courts seem less crucial than is often assumed.
Promising directions of scientific research on the issues of operational-search combatting mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine
Authors: Voloshyna Maryna
Published: July 2021

The article deals with issues of scientific elaboration of the problems of counteracting mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine and the main directions of their scientific research. The article analyzes the main provisions of modern scientific developments in the field of criminal law, criminology, criminalistics, the theory of operational-search activity. The author, based on the analysis of existing points of view, the results of personal research, expresses his attitude to the aforementioned issue and proposes qualitatively new approaches to defining promising areas of scientific research on the issues of operational-search counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine. It is determined that the purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of scientific development of problems of operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine and outline promising areas of research on operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine in modern conditions. In the article the author analyzes in detail the scientific works of domestic scientists of different times on various aspects of combating mercenary and violent crime. In particular, issues of criminal law, criminology, forensic, criminal procedure and operational and investigative nature are studied. It is noted that in the territory of independent Ukraine a large number of scientists have studied the problematic issues of operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes both at the level of dissertations and at the level of scientific articles and textbooks. The author argues that the study of dissertations and monographs in recent years indicates a lack of general theoretical and organizational and tactical issues of operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine. Today remain: undefined and undeveloped: issues of normative-legal regulation of operative-search counteraction to mercenary-violent crimes; determining the features of operational and investigative characteristics of mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine; content and direc-tions of improvement of information-analytical support of operative-search counteraction to mercenary-violent crimes; directions of internal and external cooperation of the National Police units in combating mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine; tactical features of operational and investigative measures to combat mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine, etc.
Forms of using special knowledge in criminal proceedings: theoretical and praxeological aspects
Authors: Shapovalov Dmytro
Published: July 2021

The author has outlined topical issues of using special knowledge in criminal proceedings. He has emphasized that in order to comply with the principles of criminal procedure legislation and timely referral of criminal proceedings to court, law enforcement agencies must use modern advances in science and technology and be aware of the possibilities of special knowledge. To this end, the main forms of use of special knowledge, their harmonization with regulations and laws have bee highlighted. The scientists’ opinions on this subject have been analyzed. Various criteria for classification of forms of special knowledge have been specified. The focus is on those forms of use of special knowledge that are of the greatest importance for the pre-trial investigation, as well as the direct use of special knowledge by the investigator, prosecutor, given their functional responsibilities. Emphasis has been placed on the separation of functions of a forensic expert and a specialist, the reform of the Expert Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine has been analyzed, both positive aspects and shortcomings of informed persons during investigative (search) actions have been noted. The tmphasis has been placed on the important role of such an investigative (search) action as the appointment of forensic examinations, indicating the errors and miscalculations made by the investigator, prosecutor during the collection of necessary materials, selection of comparative samples for expert examination. Particular emphasis has been placed on asking questions to the expert to address, their consistency with the objectives of specific criminal proceedings and ways to avoid common mistakes. The advisory assistance of knowledgeable persons is emphasized and its separation from the reference form of use of special knowledge has been proved. Based on the opinions of scientists, the author has proposed to use both oral and written consultation.
