Published: August 2023

The survey was conducted during rabi season (2021) to determine the incidence of mosaic disease of capsicum in major capsicum growing districts namely, Chikkaballapura, Kolar, Bengaluru rural and Ramanagar. The per cent incidence of mosaic disease based on symptoms in field was recorded, highest in Ramanagar (54.85%) and the least incidence of mosaic disease was observed in Chikkaballapura (26.85%). Transmission and host range studies under glasshouse conditions revealed that ChiVMV is transmitted mechanically. Among 16 host plants tested, 7 plant species (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun, N. glutinosa, N. occidentalis, Datura metel, Physalis floridana, S. nigrum, Capsicum annum) were infected with the Chilli veinal mottle virus disease and the symptom could be seen in 20-25 days. The per cent transmission of ChiVMV by aphid Aphis gossypii was studied. The results showed that ChiVMV can be transmitted by A. gossypii. However, five aphids per plant showed highest per cent transmission (100%). The effect of different dates of inoculation on different plant growth parameters was also studied, the highest per cent disease transmission was observed in T1: Inoculation 15 days after sowing (100.00%).

Authors: Prakash Mahala  , Rakesh Kumar Sharma
Published: August 2023

The study was undertaken for two consecutive years (2017 and 2018) to evaluate the effect of different growth media on various growing parameters and incidence of insect pest on brinjal and chilli seedlings. Seedlings were grown in protray using six types of growing media. The highest germination percentage (71.11), plant height (11.05 cm), number of leaves (5.81) and percentage healthy seedlings (89.82) were observed with vermiculite + perlite + vermi- compost (1:1:2) during both the years in brinjal. Similarly in chilli, highest germination percentage (66.33), plant height (9.81 cm), number of leaves (5.62) and percentage healthy seedlings (87.61) were observed with vermiculite + perlite + vermi-compost (1:1:2). There was significantly low incidence of whitefly in brinjal (1.49 whitefly/leaf) and chilli (1.65 whitefly/ leaf) seedling grown in media with vermiculite + perlite + vermi-compost (1:1:2). Hence, vermiculite + perlite + vermi-compost (1:1:2) was found as optimum growth media for growing of chilli and brinjal seedlings. The findings of this study recommend the use of vermiculite + perlite + vermi-compost (1:1:2) as growth media for raising nursery by farmers as it had significant positively effect on plant growth parameters of seedlings that lead to increase production of chilli and brinjal.

Published: August 2023

Generation mean analysis of brinjal lines, GL 401 × BR 104 (CROSS I), GL 401 × W 230 (CROSS II) and W 230 × RMO 1142 (CROSS III) six generation of three crosses viz. highlighted the involvement of epistatic interactions (duplicate) for most of the qualitative traits. However, the number of fruits per plant in CROSS I & III and fruit girth, calyx length, and yield per plant in CROSS II confirmed the occurrence of complementary epistasis. Mainly, additive effect for fruit girth, non-additive effect for calyx length, calyx width, peduncle girth, fruit weight, and fruit length, and both types for peduncle length, number of fruits /cluster, number of fruits/ plant, and yield/ plant were experienced. Additive × dominance or dominance × dominance type of interactions were more prevalent than additive × additive type of interactions for different traits. Cluster bearing was monogenic dominant and green color of calyx as well as peduncle was dominant over purple with the duplicate type of epistasis. Fruit shape was dgenic with incomplete dominance. Fruit color displayed digenic control in CROSS I & II and tri-genic ratio in CROSS III with incomplete dominance of purple and green pigmentations producing variable color intensity in homozygous or heterozygous conditions.

Extensive brownish biofilms of algal-bacterial communities were found on stones in streams in the Valdaysky National Park (Russia). The dominant unicellular cyanobacteria in biofilms was determined as Chamaesiphon sp. Although species of this genus often occur in the periphyton of fast-flowing waters, many of them have a geographically limited distribution and occur mainly in mountain streams and rivers in Europe. The strain Chamaesiphon sp. CALU 1864 was isolated from epilithic biofilms in the spring Tekunok. We found that it differs from previously described species not only by its unusual purple pigmentation, but also by morphological features. Molecular-genetic analysis of the primary 16S rRNA sequence and secondary structures of the internal transcribed spacer of the ribosomal operon also confirmed its uniqueness. Phylogenetically, the strain represents an independent lineage on the evolutionary tree. Based on the differences found, which provide strong support for its delineation, we propose to consider strain CALU 1864 as a new species, Chamaesiphon fontinalis sp. nov., first discovered in Russia and described in accordance with the current rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants.

Abstract. Many methods of approaching the parents or guardians of neuromuscular diagnosed 0-4 years old children have been investigated, and the most efficient on the long period of time, as the diagnose needs a long-term medical program, has been found to be the clearly, detailed and constructive information. The lack of discernment and reason of a 0-4 year old child make his family role essential after the medical diagnose, especially the parents or guardians (P/G). The study’s objective is to demonstrate that the physical therapist relationship with P/G determines his treatment compliance. The research is based on the data collected from 2 groups, representative sample and a control group. Both groups followed the instructions of the medical rehabilitation program DinaCord which had a 4 months duration, being designed the same but having other approach from the physical therapist side, depending on which group the subjects belonged. The specialist’s participation must be active in both ways of transmitter and receiver. Thereby, the transmitted information is received then processed by the parent or guardian depending on the reception and empathize of the physical therapist by the paraverbal, nonverbal and verbal parent or guardian feedback. As results, the rehabilitation program has better output when the physical therapist’s P/G approach is optimized, compared to a passive information transmitter physical therapist. The conclusions underline the parent or guardian (P/G) compliance potential in the physical therapy program as he is let know about all the information consisting of the diagnosis, the approach (the therapy, the consequences, the result projection in an estimated period of time) and the influence of an active participation from his part.

Abstract. Introduction: Health tourism is a key economic sector in Hungary, and its development and support has been a priority of the national economic development programmes since the millennium. Just like in the rest of the world, Hungary's tourism performed badly in the first year of the COVID-19. Objective: The objective of our study was to examine the main indicators of inbound health tourism to Hungary in the period of 2019-2020. Our main objective was to estimate the loss to the country's budget from declining inbound health tourism. Methods: The applied research method was secondary research, based on tourism demand data published by the Central Statistical Office (KSH). The national economic effects generated by the expenditure of foreign health tourists in Hungary were estimated using input-output analysis. Results: The number of foreign health tourists decreased to 46.4% compared to 2019, and the number of days spent by foreign health tourists decreased to 40.9% compared to the previous year. In the year of the pandemic, inbound health tourist spending generated total national output of €417 million, a decrease of more than 46% compared to the previous year. The contribution of inbound health tourism to GDP was €209.2 million, almost €160 million lower than in 2019. Conclusion: After a peak year in 2019, pandemic COVID-19 led to a significant drop in demand in the inbound health tourism market, which will also see a sectoral and territorial shift in 2020.

Abstract. In this article we approach the topic of individual academic work in the vocational training of specialists of physical education and sport. This activity, very important in the university educational process, is promoted both within classroom hours and outside of them, but most often individual work is promoted within seminars, laboratory hours, projects, practical works, competitions and performing tasks at home. Individual work is one of the main forms of study of subjects by students specializing in physical education and sport, expressed by studying theoretical topics, performing control and laboratory work and applying knowledge to carry out semestrial, periodical and final assessments.Starting from the analysis of references on the mentioned topic and ending with qualitative and quantitative reflections from the specific university context, we highlight the aspect of the individual work of the students from the point of view of professional training. It is carried out for the purpose of students specializing in physical education and sport acquiring general and special professional skills, including the ability to use the knowledge acquired in the professional field. An important result of the individual work of students is the formation of their ability to train individually in order to obtain knowledge, skills, competences for the purpose of continuous professional development.

Participatory-Transcendental Education: A Qualitative Study on the Collaboration-Convergence of Paulo Freire's Liberating education and Islamic Education
Authors: Umiarso Umiarso , Mardiana Dina
Published: August 2023

This research focused on the collaboration-convergence construction of Freire’s liberating education and Islamic education systems. These two systems are integrated into a single dimension of education that has spiritual roots. Therefore, this research tries to analyze Paulo Freire’s educational thinking, which is elaborated, collaborated, converged, and integrated with Islamic education’s theological and philisophical values. This research approach uses a qualitative type of literature study, so it tended to use documentation techniques in collecting its data. The data in this research were analyzed using the interactive analysis of Miles, Hubermann and Saldana. With this method, this research can be more detailed and comprehensive to understand and interpret Freire’s liberation education thinking and Islamic education. This research finds that Freire's education system has an axiological basis of secular humanism that can be collaborated and converged with the values of transcendental humanism in Islamic education. From this collaboration-convergence process, an education system has been created. It has an ontological basis and is integrated with theological values. It is also an axiological dimension of trancendental humanism. This education system has a mission to realize transcendental humanism in the educational process so that this system can be referred to as participatory-trancendental education.

The purpose of this research is the importance of creativity development of early grades elementary school teacher in learning activities to improve student creativity. Learning activities aim to make children able to achieve the learning goals. Impressive learning will encourage children’s enthusiasm to study well. This paper is qualitative research, where the data are obtained from observation, interview, and documentation. The results of this study indicate four aspects of creativity. First, the personal aspect, creative teachers are people who have strong intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation as supporter. Individuals must have skills to support their creativity, as well as literacy, knowledge, technique, and interpersonal skills. Second, the process is a way of thinking to solve problems (clarifier, ideator, developer, and implementer). Third, press is support from the environment, as well as superiors, colleagues, resources, best practices and so on. Fourth, product of creativity in the form of ideas, physical objects, and processes/methods. The form of creativity products in learning activities are in the form of learning media, learning methods, and educational props. Understanding four aspects of creativity will give new and fresh idea to make creative learning for children, so that children will enjoy the learning activities and become creative students.
Tata Dios. El Mesías Gaucho
Authors: Amoroso Boelcke Nicolás
Published: August 2023

Los acontecimientos que se narran corresponden a los últimos meses del año 1871 y su ubicación geográfica es el interior de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, en la localidad de Tandil, cercana a la frontera que delimitaba con el territorio que todavía conservaban los indios. Es una etapa marcada por fuertes transformaciones. El mercado internacional, fundamentalmente inglés, se interesa menos por el cuero del ganado vacuno ya que tiene una nueva demanda para alimentar sus hilanderías: el lanar. La cría de vacas que había sido fuente de enriquecimiento y poderío de los estancieros argentinos, comienza a perder su significación reemplazada por este nuevo animal, la oveja. Este cambio es impulsado por un nuevo personaje que llega desde la vieja Europa buscando en América un lugar para vivir y desarrollarse. Al hacerla entran en competencia con el estanciero tradicional ligado a formas casi feudales de producción. … Los estancieros tradicionales alimentarán este resentimiento que se ha generado. Se sienten despojados y comienzan a ser desplazados por la nueva situación que recorta su natural poderío. El clero contribuye con su prédica. El odio hacia los extranjeros, aumenta. Acusados como portadores de nuevas ideas que tienen que ver con la masonería, enemigos, por lo tanto, de la iglesia. La combinación de todas estas circunstancias, económicas, políticas, sociales e ideológicas dará como resultado la creciente animadversión hacia los inmigrantes que aparecerán como verdaderos agentes del mal al transformar las relaciones hace largo tiempo establecidas. La reacción crece hasta alcanzar tamaña violencia incontrolable como para cambiar, de un día para otro, a pacíficos ciudadanos convirtiéndolos en despiadados asesinos. En el marco de la situación explosiva que se vivía, llega Tata Dios, con un mensaje de cambio de tono milenarista. Afirma que el mundo se acaba y que surgirá un nuevo reino de justicia. … Estos son los antecedentes, las pugnas, los intereses en juego, de una realidad que se transforma en sus fundamentos donde se inscribe la narración que el guion desarrolla y sintetiza.
Finite element method (FEM) analysis of the force systems produced by asymmetric inner headgear bows
Authors: Geramy Allahyar , Kizilova Natalya , Terekhov Leonid
Published: August 2023

Background: Extra-oral traction appliances were introduced more than a century ago and continue to be used to produce orthopaedic and/or dental changes in the maxilla. While force systems produced by asymmetric outer bows have been studied extensively, the force systems produced by asymmetric inner bows have been overlooked.

Aim: To analyse the forces acting on the maxillary first molars: when the size of one bayonet bend is increased; when the point of application of the distalising force on the inner bow is moved to one side; when one molar is displaced palatally.

Methods: Four FEM models of cervical headgear attached to maxillary first molars were designed in SolidWorks 2010 and transferred to an ANSYS Workbench Ver. 12.1. Model 1, each molar was 23 mm from the midpalatal line and the inner bow was symmetrical; Model 2, the left molar was displaced 4 mm towards the midpalatal line and the inner bow was symmetrical; Model 3, the molars were equidistant (23 mm) from the midpalatal line, but the left molar was engaged by a 2 mm larger bayonet bend; Model 4, the molars were equidistant (23 mm) from the midpalatal line but the join between the inner and outer bows was displaced 2 mm towards the left molar. In all FEM models, a 2N force was applied to the inner bow at the join between inner and outer bows and the energy transmitted to the teeth and the von Mises stresses on the molar PDLs were assessed.

Results: There were marked differences in the strain energy on the teeth and the von Mises stresses on their PDLs. A 14 to 20 per cent increase in energy and force was produced on the tooth closer to the symmetric plane of the headgear. In addition, the increase in energy produced a 30 to 62 per cent increase in the von Mises stresses within the PDLs.

Conclusion: Small asymmetries in molar position, the size of a bayonet bend and the point of application of a force on an inner bow resulted in asymmetrical forces on the molars. These forces were higher on the molar closer to the symmetric plane of the headgear.
A qualitative investigation of specialist orthodontists in New Zealand. Part 1. Orthodontists and orthodontic practice
Authors: Soma Kieran J. , Murray Thomson W. , Morgaine Kate C. , Harding Winifred J.
Published: August 2023

Background: Current knowledge of orthodontic practice is largely anecdotal and the lack of systematic knowledge can create barriers to better identifying the factors that make a successful orthodontist. The aim of this study was to investigate the routine practising lives of New Zealand orthodontists in order to generate an understanding of the reality of orthodontic specialist practice and its effects on their professional and personal lives.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted involving 19 practising orthodontists (four females, 15 males; mean age 50 years) throughout New Zealand.Transcribed interviews were analysed for themes using an applied grounded theory approach.

Results: A core category of ‘practising orthodontists’ was derived, and related themes were grouped under the sub-categories of: (a) NZ orthodontic specialist practice; (b) NZ specialist orthodontists; and (c) work-life balance. The present paper reports on the first two sub-categories. Themes elucidated under the specialist practice sub-category included modernisation, changing social norms, practice arrangement, branch practice, staffing, competition, legislation, advertising, the future and the provision of orthodontics by non-specialists. Themes in the orthodontic specialist sub-category were prior experience, postgraduate training, recent graduates, reasons for specialising, generational differences, females in orthodontics, NZ and overseas practice, the ageing profession and the prospect of an orthodontist shortage.

Conclusions: This investigation has shed light on orthodontists and the practice of orthodontics in New Zealand and determined aspects rarely discussed in the current or previous literature. It will be valuable to observe how orthodontists and orthodontic practice continue to evolve in response to changes in NZ society.
Association between maxillary canine impaction and arch dimensions
Authors: Fattahi Hamidreza , Ghaeed Fatemeh , Alipour Abbas
Published: August 2023

Objective: To compare palatal height index, arch width, and arch length characteristics in Iranian patients presenting with palatal and buccal canine impaction with a matched control group.

Materials and methods: The case-control study examined 53 patients with canine impaction. The subjects were divided into two groups determined by buccal or palatal impaction which were compared with 53 control subjects presenting without impaction. Subjects in the experimental groups were matched with individuals in the control group according to age, gender, crowding and type of malocclusion. Palatal height and arch length were measured with a Korkhaus three-dimensional divider. Arch width was determined in the anterior and posterior portions of the maxillary arch with a digital caliper. Data were compared with paired t-tests.

Results: The buccal canine impaction group exhibited mean differences in arch length between the case and control groups of 0.8 mm (SD 1.63, p = 0.041). The differences between the case and control groups in intermolar width, interpremolar width, intercanine width, palatal depth, and palatal height index were not statistically significant. The palatal impaction group showed no statistically significant differences between the case and control group in any of the dependent variables (p ≤ 0.05). In a re-test examination of arch dimensions, Bland-Altman plots showed no differences between the first and second measurements.

Conclusions: Arch length in the buccal canine group was the only statistically significant variable. The difference was small and was considered not clinically significant.
Factors related to stability following the surgical correction of skeletal open bite
Authors: Ito Goshi , Koh Myongsun , Fujita Tadashi , Shirakura Maya , Ueda Hiroshi , Tanne Kazuo
Published: August 2023

Objectives: If a skeletal anterior open bite malocclusion is treated by orthognathic surgery directed only at the mandible, the lower jaw is repositioned upward in a counter-clockwise rotation. However, this procedure has a high risk of relapse. In the present study, the key factors associated with post-surgical stability of corrected skeletal anterior open bite malocclusions were investigated.

Material and methods: Eighteen orthognathic patients were subjected to cephalometric analysis to assess the dental and skeletal changes following mandibular surgery for the correction of an anterior open bite. The patients were divided into two groups, determined by an increase or decrease in nasion-menton (N-Me) distance as a consequence of surgery. Changes in overbite, the displacements of molars and positional changes in Menton were evaluated immediately before and after surgery and after a minimum of one year post-operatively.

Results: The group with a decreased N-Me distance exhibited a significantly greater backward positioning of the mandible. The group with an increased N-Me distance experienced significantly greater dentoalveolar extrusion of the lower molars.

Conclusions: A sufficient mandibular backward repositioning is an effective technique in the prevention of open bite relapse. In addition, it is important not to induce molar extrusion during post-surgical orthodontic treatment to preserve stability of the surgical open bite correction.
The effects of denervation and formoterol administration on facial growth
Authors: Fitzpatrick Brendan , Woods Michael , Lynch Gordon , Manton David
Published: August 2023

Objective: To identify and demonstrate possible alterations of skeletal structures which might follow either unilateral surgical denervation of the masseter muscle, unilateral intramuscular injection of formoterol directly into the masseter muscle, or intramuscular formoterol injection after surgical denervation.

Materials and methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats (N = 16; four weeks of age) were prepared as four groups: 1. surgical sham + saline injection into the masseter muscle (sham); 2. surgical denervation of the masseter muscle only (den.); 3. surgical denervation of the masseter muscle plus intramuscular formoterol injection into the affected muscle (den.+form.); 4. intramuscular formoterol injection into the masseter muscle only (form.). The specimens were submitted for CT examination, the skulls and hemimandibles were photographed and measurements of craniofacial bones were made.

Results: In this relatively small sample, comparisons between non-experimental and experimental sides revealed differences, both within the groups and for the same measurements between groups, with the den. and den.+form. groups showing the most change. Relative increases in the gonial angle shown in these groups occurred bilaterally, with the change on the experimental side always greater in magnitude than the change on the contralateral side.

Conclusions: Surgical denervation of the masseter muscle leads to an alteration in the size and shape of the skeletal structures close to the zygoma and the mandible. The intramuscular injection of formoterol into denervated masseter muscle seems to limit this skeletal alteration after surgical denervation.
Seed Treatments for Management of Soybean Cyst Nematode, Heterodera glycines, in Mid-Atlantic Soybean Production
Authors: Kessler Alexandra C. , Koehler Alyssa M.
Published: August 2023

Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, is the most important pathogen of soybean in the Mid-Atlantic region. In recent decades, a decline in the effectiveness of genetic resistance has been observed and additional management approaches are needed. Seed treatments are of rising interest, but no local data on product response exists for the region. In 2020–2021, two experiments were conducted to observe the effects of chemical and biological seed treatment options. In one experiment, chemical seed treatments pydiflumetofen (Saltro®) and fluopyram (ILEVO®) were screened against nontreated plain seed for SCN suppression. In a second experiment, pydiflumetofen, fluopyram and four biological nematode-protectant seed treatments with a standard base insecticide and fungicide treatment were compared to nontreated plain seed and seed with only the standard base treatment to test product efficacy against SCN. Seed treatments increased the percent emergence over plain seed. Nematode reproductive factors and female counts from roots were collected, but did not statistically differ between seed treatments or plain seed. Yield differences were observed in one of the five trials, where pydiflumetofen + base seed treatment yielded the highest (p < 0.001) at 3813.1 kg/ha. Response from seed treatments varied, with no specific seed treatment consistently reducing SCN populations or increasing yield across trials. Seed treatments may have potential as an element of an integrated management approach for SCN.
Emerging Trends and Advancements in the Biopreservation of Fruits
Authors: Wajahat Syeda S.
Published: August 2023

Fruits are natural, healthy, economically feasible, ready to eat, and provide essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, making them a fascinating food. Deterioration of fruits during transportation can cause food security concerns and financial losses. Globally, about 45% of horticultural crops are spoiled and wasted for numerous reasons, such as environmental contamination during growth, harvesting under unsuitable conditions, and improper storage, handling, and display. There are three groups of factors affecting the spoilage of food: physical, chemical, and microbial, which damage the size, color, taste, and texture of fruits. Conventional methods of preserving food products comprise chemical preservation, freezing, drying, and pasteurization, which can result in the loss of nutrients and the addition of unwanted chemicals produced during processing. Therefore, “green” technology is required to preserve fresh produce, which protects and enhances nutritional value in equal measure. This review will present emerging trends and advancements in the biopreservation of fruits, such as lactic acid bacteria, essential oils, herbal extracts, nanoparticles, microcapsules, edible films and coatings, bacteriocins, and bacteriophages. These biopreservative techniques should be easy, inexpensive, eco-friendly, and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Relationship Between Social Connectedness and Mental Health in Those With Epilepsy
Authors: Tubbs Naomi , Miller Amanda C.
Published: August 2023

Individuals with epilepsy are at a much greater risk of developing depression than the general population (Butler et al., 2019). We sought to understand the relationship between epilepsy, social connectedness, and depression. Specifically, we examined the degree to which an individual’s sense of connection to their friends and family predicts depressive symptoms among those with and without epilepsy. We analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health Wave IV dataset, which included 5,114 individuals aged 24–32. Seventy-one of the participants in this sample reported an epilepsy diagnosis, and we randomly selected 71 participants without epilepsy from the dataset to serve as controls. We used stepwise multiple regression analyses to examine the extent to which epilepsy, friend connectedness, and family connectedness predicted depression, F(3, 76) = 7.51, p < .001, R2 = .23. Epilepsy significantly predicted depression, β = .81, p < .001. Friend connectedness was also a significant predictor of depression, β=– .23, p = .03, but family connectedness was not, β = –.11, p = .30. This pattern of results seems to hold for participants with and without epilepsy. We conclude that friend connectedness is an important factor to consider when working with individuals with epilepsy who experience depressive symptoms. Further research is needed to fully understand the factors that contribute to depression in those with epilepsy.

Subject. The article addresses economic diagnostics of performance of payment obligations based on scenario approach, enabling to evaluate possible scenarios, unveil the main causes of financial threats to the organization, and develop measures to eliminate them.
Objectives. We focus on the development of methodological aspects of implementing economic diagnostics of payment obligations fulfillment based on the scenario approach to reduce risks of insolvency and improve resource management efficiency.
Methods. The methodological basis of the study was analysis and synthesis, generalization and comparison, logical and systematic reasoning, grouping, economic and mathematical models in the form of regression equations.
Results. We offered to conduct economic diagnostics of payment obligations performance, using the scenario approach and considering the industry specifics. The basis is an assessment of solvency and liquidity of economic entity, reflecting the ability to repay obligations and fund turnover. To determine potential scenarios for future developments, we recommended to build scenarios for changes in the statement of financial results. The paper describes specifics of modeling different types of scenarios: realistic, optimistic, and pessimistic, aimed at minimizing the problems of the organization associated with the level of solvency.
Conclusions. Economic diagnostics of payment obligations fulfillment requires a study of organization’s production and financial activities, the results of which are reported in the income statement. Predictive scenarios considering the industry specifics based on performance data make it possible to strengthen the financial stability of the organization, reduce risks of its insolvency, and optimize the use of resources.

Published: August 2023

Subject. We consider progressive tools and mechanisms to stimulate environmental investment.
Objectives. The study aims, in the context of the global ESG agenda, to underpin the need to create and give a theoretical idea of decomposition of a comprehensive mechanism for financial and economic incentives for environmental investment, in the interests of progressive growth of total factor productivity (TFP) and sustainable development of the Russian economy.
Methods. We employ traditional methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis, analogy, generalization, combination of historical and logical, etc.), and multivariate regression analysis.
Results. The study proves the need to create a comprehensive mechanism of financial and economic stimulation of environmental investment in Russia, which optimally combines methods of State support with market instruments of its regulation, incentives, and responsibility. Particular attention is paid to financing environmental protection costs in Russia during 2005–2021. Based on the best practices of the world’s leading economies, we give recommendations on creating a comprehensive mechanism to encourage environmental investments in Russia.
Conclusions. A comprehensive mechanism of financial and economic incentives for environmental investment should be focused on mitigating the negative environmental impact of industrial activity as a whole, maximizing the involvement of waste resources in economic turnover, reducing environmental pollution. The findings can be used by public authorities and management to formulate investment strategy.

Methods. The study rests on institutional approach enabling to analyze the influence of institutions on activities of the Islamic finance market of the Chechen Republic, and also employs standard methods of scientific cognition, like analysis and induction.
Results. The analysis of the Islamic finance market of the Chechen Republic found that relatively dominant trends are visible against the background of economic processes in the regional aspect, however, the companies of the market under study are developing according to the same model. This somewhat narrows the understanding of the Islamic economy and acts as a deterrent to the development of the industry, although mitigated by the fact that the market is in its infancy.
Conclusions. The study revealed a mismatch of demand and understanding of the essence of Islamic finance, which significantly updates awareness-building in this direction, and implicitly points to the importance of expanding market participation.

Análisis jurídico sobre la eutanasia como libertad de elección a una vida digna en México
Authors: Aguilera Izaguirre Gustavo , Caballero Alonso Alejandra del Pilar
Published: August 2023

Este artículo de análisis jurídico de la eutanasia tiene por objeto mostrar cómo se vulneran los derechos de las personas, al impedirles tomar la decisión sobre su cuerpo y su existencia cuando se enfrentan a una enfermedad degenerativa o en etapa terminal en la cual no gozan de una vida digna, pues en su día a día se encuentran sometidos a un sufrimiento constante en el que incluso la administración de medicamentos ya no les da alivio a los síntomas principales y secundarios de su padecimiento. Se abordan temas que corresponden a la esfera de la eutanasia para tener una comprensión más amplia del tema, comenzando con las generalidades de los derechos humanos, el derecho a la vida, los antecedentes conceptuales, la forma en que diversas legislaciones adoptaron este derecho y cómo algunos autores se pronuncian acerca de la necesidad de establecerlo en la Constitución; también se acota conceptualmente la eutanasia con su clasificación y la explicación de cada tipo, para concluir con un análisis comparativo de países como Colombia y España, donde ya es autorizada, en contraste con México que está en mora de legalizarla para que sus ciudadanos se beneficien con el ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales a la vida digna y a la libertad.
