Objectives. This study aimed to determine the degree of authenticity for the test implemented using a programmable installation for monitoring the functions of functional mobility, gait, and the state of the vestibular apparatus in students with disabilities who have sustained a blast traumatic brain injury.
Material and methods. The study included a total of 39 first-year students with disabilities after an explosive brain injury. The following methods were used: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature, the method of technical modelling, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics. In order to ascertain the efficacy of the proposed intervention, a 10-meter walking test was conducted.
Results. The result of our study was the development using information systems and networks of a programmable device for the implementation of the 10-meter walking test, which is used to monitor the recovery of functional mobility, gait, and the state of the vestibular apparatus in students with disabilities after an explosive brain injury. The installation was based on a network of sensors organized according to the Arduino microcontroller platform. Acoustic, optical sensors, distance sensors, proximity sensors, presence sensors, and spatial position sensors have been placed to record the results of the test distance. The sensors, having received an information signal about the student passing the test, transmit it to the controller. In the controller, information is identified, processed, calculated and transferred to a personal computer, where it is displayed on the screen and reproduced graphically. The software ensures maintainability throughout the test, as well as efficiency of data processing, calculation of required parameters and their storage. Data processing is implemented using image analysis systems based on neural networks. According to the findings of testing and correlation analysis, indicators’ authenticity degree for the used tests were established, which differed by the means of measuring the results. The level of correlation coefficient between the values for test reliability and validity in the case of fixing the test results using a stopwatch was not found to fall within the “low” and “acceptable” limits, while in the second case, when the results were fixed by a programmed control unit, it reached the “high” level.
Conclusions. The use of the developed programmable device in the practical work of inclusive PE provides convenience, functionality, objectivity and reliability of control in the process of rehabilitation of students with disabilities after an explosive craniocerebral injury. What is confirmed by the values of the test authenticity measure obtained during the experiment when fixing the results by the developed installation.

Analysis of the balance of the crank-slider drive mechanism of the cutting apparatus by the method of principal point vectors
Authors: Kotov Andrey V.
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: During the motion of the crank-slider drive mechanism of the cutting apparatus of a mounted mower, various points of its links move with acceleration, leading to arise of inertial forces, which cause additional loads in kinematic pairs, significantly affecting the strength of all structural elements. The effective dynamic load can be reduced by balancing inertial forces and moments, which is achieved through optimal placement and selection of the masses of the corresponding counterweights.
AIM: In the special technical literature, balancing of mechanisms using the method of principal point vectors is not widely used due to demand of appropriate mathematical models of lever mechanisms based on vector analysis for the effective application of this method. The combined use of this method with the mathematical model of the crank-slider mechanism presented in the work, based on the use of vector analysis, opens up new research opportunities in this direction.
METHODS: A mathematical model of the crank-slider drive mechanism of the cutting apparatus, based on the use of vector analysis, which has been successfully used by the author for a long time in the design of various lever mechanisms, is presented. The proposed vector analysis method is based on the coordinate transformation method.
RESULTS: The presented mathematical model of the crank-slider drive mechanism of the cutting apparatus made it possible to describe the kinematics of all its hardpoints, to determine the motion path of the vector of the general center of mass and its acceleration. Using the principal point vector method, an analysis of the balance of the studied mechanism was carried out, and the parameters of the counterweights (mass and mount arms) on the extension of the links were selected, helping to ensure complete static balancing and three cases of partial balancing of the mechanism. In addition, various graphical dependencies were obtained.
CONCLUSION: The use of the method of principal point vectors together with the developed mathematical model of the crank-slider drive mechanism of the cutting apparatus, based on the use of vector analysis, made it possible to analyze the balance of the studied mechanism, as well as to carry out a complete static balancing and three cases of its partial static balancing.

Global political and socioeconomic changes have caused a huge strain on the healthcare system. To transition into a new level of medical care, modern technological solutions are needed. Accelerated development of innovations in medicine and the formation of a personalized approach will improve the quality and accessibility of medical services. One of the directions of healthcare development is the use of digital technologies and remote monitoring in assessing the health indicators of citizens. Currently, the federal project of remote monitoring of patients with arterial hypertension, named, “Personal Medical Assistants,” is being implemented in the Russian Federation. Similar to any new technology, remote monitoring has advantages and disadvantages. In this article, a strategic analysis (SWOT-analysis) was performed, considering medical, economic, social, and political aspects that may affect the results of the federal project. For effective implementation of remote monitoring technology in clinical practice, the strengths and weaknesses in the healthcare system and the state as a whole must be emphasized. SWOT-analysis can be used in formulating strategies for the widespread use of new digital technologies in clinical practice.

Authors: Matsouki Eleni , Kyriakatis Georgios Marios
Published: June 2024

Existing literature supports various forms of exercise as appropriate for treating people with multiple sclerosis (MS) with mild or more severe symptoms. In recent years, Pilates is a form of therapeutic exercise used more and more often in rehabilitating people with MS. The purpose of this systematic review is to explore the effectiveness of the clinical Pilates method in adult people with MS. Research was performed in 4 scientific databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, PEDro and Scopus) using the following keywords: multiple sclerosis, MS, Pilates and Clinical Pilates. Inclusion criteria were studies randomized controlled, written in English, published in 2012-2022, with adult people with MS and where the intervention should have been only the Pilates method and the results had to be relevant to physiotherapy. The methodological quality of the studies included was assessed by PEDro Scale. From a total of 329 initial records, only 12 studies were included. Results show that Pilates can improve balance, gait, functionality, physical and cognitive capacity, quality of life and body composition in adult people with MS and with mild to moderate disability. Fatigue, anxiety and depression levels did not show clear improvement after the application of the Pilates exercises in comparison with other therapeutic exercises. Pilates is a safe method of exercise for adult people with MS and can improve many symptoms. It is necessary more research to be conducted so that the effectiveness of the Pilates exercises be explored further on different parameters in patients with MS, like fatigue.

Raziskovanje zaznane uspešnosti policijskega dela služi več namenom. Razumevanje, kako javnost zaznava policijsko uspešnost, je ključno, saj so te zaznave pomembno povezane z zaupanjem javnosti v policijo. Enako pomembno je razumeti, kako svojo uspešnost dojemajo policisti, za ugotavljanje morebitnih vrzeli v zmogljivostih policije. Poleg tega je bistvena tudi primerjava zaznav med prebivalci in policisti, saj lahko razkrije razlike v zaznavah, ki kažejo na neskladja v stališčih, ki jih je treba nasloviti pri gradnji odnosov za sodelovanje. V poglavju predstavljamo razvoj zaznav uspešnosti policijskega dela med prebivalci in policisti v Sloveniji skozi čas, s primerjavo rezultatov treh raziskav, opravljenih v desetletnem časovnem obdobju. Primerjalna analiza kaže, da obstajajo statistično značilne razlike v večini ocen, povezanih z zaznano uspešnostjo policije med prebivalci in policisti, ter med posameznimi obdobji raziskovanja. Prebivalci in policisti največjo uspešnost pripisujejo policiji pri vzdrževanju reda v lokalnem okolju in opravljanju temeljne dejavnosti, najmanjšo pa pri izvajanju preventivne dejavnosti.
Z dziejów polsko-francuskich stosunków gospodarczych. Wymiana handlowa z Tunezją w latach trzydziestych XX wieku
Authors: Ambrochowicz-Gajownik Anna
Published: June 2024

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie w zarysie wymiany handlowej Polski z Tunisem w latach trzydziestych XX w., która zaczęła rozwijać się po utworzeniu w tymże mieście placówki honorowej, podległej konsulatowi w Marsylii. Tunezja prowadziła wymianę handlową z zagranicą na określonych zasadach celnych. Głównym partnerem w handlu zagranicznym była Francja, później Algieria, Włochy, Wielka Brytania, USA, Niemcy i Holandia. Większość towarów clona była według taryfy tunezyjskiej, jednolitej dla wszystkich państw. Niektóre towary francuskie korzystały z pewnych ulg i istniała grupa produktów objętych unią celną z metropolią. Polsko-tunezyjska wymiana handlowa obwarowana była klauzulą najwyższego uprzywilejowania z 1924 r. Rynek tunezyjski dla polskich firm stanowił wyzwanie ze względu na specyfikę. Właściwa ocena możliwości zbytu polskich towarów determinowana była poznaniem jego możliwości oraz zasięgu zainteresowania ze strony miejscowych środowisk kupieckich.

Non-Price Criteria for Evaluating Offers in Poland and the European Union
Authors: Szymański Jarosław
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the article. An important element that influences the effectiveness of public procurement is the multi-criteria offer evaluation model. Moving away from comparing offers only in terms of their price, a single-criteria model, allows you to choose a more expensive solution, which may turn out to be a cheaper one after many years of use. The impact of non-price criteria also goes beyond quantifiable economic effects and may stimulate pro-ecological and pro-social behavior of entities applying for public procurement. Due to legislative changes in the application of non-price criteria, a study was carried out to determine the preferences of contracting entities from the European Union member states in this respect. The study was extended to identify the types of non-price criteria used by domestic contracting entities.
Methodology. Due to the functionality limitations of the European database of tender announcements, part of the work used data from a random sample. Basic statistical measures, estimation and the parametric Student's t-test were used for the analysis.
Results of the research. Changes in the structure of the offer evaluation models used were identified and the preferences for using the multi-criteria model were compared between the EU member states whose accession date was before 2004 and others. Statistically significant differences were found in the use of non-price criteria in countries that were incorporated into the EU structures before 2004 and in other countries. The analysis shows that a longer presence in the EU structures increases the use of non-price criteria only in the area of supplies and services. On the domestic market, the change in legislation that took place in 2021 did not eliminate the system pathology consisting in the introduction of dead non-price criteria by contracting entities.
Islamic Architecture: The Correlation Between Cultural Diversity and Mosque Roof Types in Palembang
Authors: Angkasa Zuber , Febrina Sandra Eka , Kamil Erfan M
Published: June 2024

Cultural diversity influences different types of mosque roofs that can be seen even in neighboring districts. This paper examines the differences in mosque dome types in two areas that differ in terms of cultural diversity, namely the Ulu and Ilir areas of Palembang City. The Ulu area is known to have much lower cultural diversity than the Ilir area. The survey was conducted on 50 mosques located in Palembang City and spread across the two regions. We then categorized them into three roof coverings: dome, pyramid, and mixed. We also calculated a diversity index to assess social diversity in each region. Fisher's Exact test was then conducted to determine whether there were differences in dome types by region. It was found that round domes dominated the Ulu region, while pyramids and mixed domes dominated the Ilir region. The paper concludes that the cultural composition in the Ulu, which the Palembang Malay ethnic group dominates, encourages of using of the standard round dome. In contrast, the relatively high cultural diversity in the Ilir leads to the prominence of the identity of the elites who prioritize the pyramid dome and efforts to accommodate multiculturalism with the mixed dome. In particular, this article can encourage efforts to develop theories on architectural dynamics under the influence of cultural diversity in urban and rural areas.
The Dazzling in Islamic Architecture
Authors: Taha Ahmed Abdulwahid Dhannoon , Alchalabi Oday Qusay Abdulqader , Alazawi Amer Abdullah
Published: June 2024

Buildings in Islamic architecture are distinguished by dazzling features in general, especially religious buildings such as mosques, schools, and shrines. The literature could not find a clear identification of reaching the dazzling concept. Moreover, researchers in the Islamic architecture discipline did not focus on determining sufficient knowledge of the design methods of applying the dazzling approach in Islamic architecture, and they did not clarify a specific detailed vocabulary of Islamic dazzling concepts. However, the problem of the study was identified by observing the literature and buildings. Therefore, the formulated question encompasses “the unclear knowledge of applying designing procedure of dazzling characteristics in Islamic Architecture buildings.” The study raised an important question: “What is the design methodology of dazzling features in religious buildings within Islamic Architecture.” The study aims to identify the practical design elements, principles, and rules of the dazzling characteristics in religious buildings in Islamic architecture to draw out a guideline that designers can apply in contemporary Islamic Architecture. The theoretical framework of the dazzling concept was constructed to achieve this aim, with variables and sub-variables highlighted to identify the design methodology that can actualize dazzling concept in Islamic architecture by reviewing previous studies. The abstracted variables used in designing the checklist were applied to analyze the cases formally. Selecting cases from religious buildings from Islamic style depends on specific criteria. However, the results analyzed statically showed that dazzling concept in Islamic architecture applied in five major levels (structure, form, architectural elements, interior space, and ornamentation) with seven main principles (richness, exaggeration, uniqueness, complexity, proportion, and ambiguity). Richness is the most affected factor in applying clear dazzling concept, while exaggeration and uniqueness are second-rated factors that can impact the value. Dazzling concept is an essential characteristic that designers should apply in contemporary Islamic architecture.
Acceptability and Usability of Colli-Pee UAS for First Void Urine Self Sampling
Authors: Jordaens Stephanie
Published: June 2024

First-void urine as sample type has shown great potential for cancer detection, screening and monitoring. It is an emerging liquid biopsy with broad applicability in different analytes and cancers. The aim of this feasibility study was to investigate the experiences of healthy and diseased cohorts of first-void urine collection and preservation using the Colli-Pee® UAS™ devices (Novosanis NV), both for collection during doctors visit as well as home-sampling. Questionnaires from 98 participants enrolled in the URODETECT studies were analyzed. Participants reported that Colli-Pee® was clear (90%) and comfortable (68%) to use. Most respondents (82%) rated their general experience of Colli-Pee® as easy to very easy, while only 2% indicated it was difficult. Participants also reported their intention to use Colli-Pee® again (87%) or to recommend Colli-Pee® to their friends and/or family (88%). A subset of participants (n=60) collected urine samples at home using Colli-Pee® UAS™ devices and returned their samples to the laboratory. Most participants’ responses were positive (very easy, 35%, easy 40%) about the entire self-sampling process. Urine collection, at home or in the clinic, using Colli-Pee® was clearly accepted by all participants.

Administrative-territorial and ethnic map of Russia in the 1920s
Authors: Kropachev S.
Published: June 2024

The paper deals with the analysis of the demographic development of Russian ethnic groups in the 1920s. The issues of the country’s transition to peaceful life after the end of the Civil War and how this affected population dynamics are considered. In conditions of mitigation of exogenous factors, mortality, including child mortality, has decreased in the country, and life expectancy has increased. The global consequence of positive changes in the 1920s was natural population growth. The author studies the peculiarities of the administrative-territorial division of Russia, which experienced several reforms during these years (“economic zoning”). Characteristics of more than 150 ethnic groups living in the country in the 1920s are given.
Enseñar a comunicar la ciencia: ¿a ciegas o con metodología? Una propuesta para el diseño y evaluación de talleres para dar charlas de divulgación.

Except for those with an innate talent, most scientists find themselves “navigating uncharted territory” when it comes to public science communication. Despite the diversity of training options available today, most of them are not based on empirical data, nor there is a systematization of approaches and methodologies used. Consequently, those who design and deliver such courses and workshops also run the risk of proceeding “blindly” when training scientists. To help address this issue, we tested a methodology for designing and evaluating a workshop aimed at enhancing skills in the planning of outreach talks. This 8-hour workshop was conducted with a group of academics at the Institute of Cellular Physiology at UNAM. The evaluation of the workshop and the talks indicate that the methodology adopted can contribute to solving the practical problem faced by scientists and trainers, although its true potential must be tested in future studies. The reward for this hard work is promising: that neither scientists nor trainers go “blind” when teaching and planning a popular science talk.
La crisis de la democracia en el Perú y el rol de la justicia constitucional
Authors: Landa Arroyo César
Published: June 2024

En los últimos dos siglos en Perú, se han promulgado trece constituciones, pero la lealtad de los gobernantes ha sido inconsistente. Estas cartas políticas se ajustaron a las necesidades, incluyendo cambios estructurales y coyunturales debido a guerras y revoluciones. En el siglo XXI, la tendencia continúa con una crisis política desencadenada por el Congreso por la tercera solicitud de destitución del presidente Pedro Castillo en diciembre de 2022. Hubo un intento de autogolpe fallido, resultando en la destitución de Castillo y la designación de la vicepresidenta Dina Boluarte como su reemplazo. Las protestas y marchas a nivel nacional exigen elecciones generales y una asamblea constituyente. La crisis ha revelado la conciencia constitucional de la ciudadanía, pero también ha llevado a la represión y muerte de personas, principalmente indígenas. En este contexto, se analizan las causas constitucionales de la crisis, el papel del Tribunal Constitucional y las perspectivas constitucionales de solución.
Un golpe de Estado fallido y los problemas constitucionales pendientes
Authors: Palomino Manchego José F. , Paiva Goyburu Dante
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo aborda el golpe de Estado fallido protagonizado por el pre­sidente Pedro Castillo, que determinó que el Congreso lo vacara del cargo y de forma inmediata pasara a ser un procesado penal afrontando diversas denuncias. La heren­cia de su breve periodo y las consecuencias del cambio de gestión, asumida por su vicepresidenta, Dina Boluarte, han permitido advertir deficiencias latentes del sistema político peruano, que a pesar de tener una Constitución que cumple 30 años, tiene una clase política limitada y sin un proyecto de país debidamente definido.
En este sentido, se considera que algunos de estos problemas del régimen políti­co peruano representan una oportunidad para que la academia contribuya con solu­ciones y medidas que favorezcan al Estado Constitucional, que se ve amenazado ante los vaivenes de las principales autoridades, que parecen actuar al margen de los graves problemas nacionales donde la inseguridad y la recesión son el epicentro de turbulen­cias desfavorables para el país.

Introduction: One of the main ingredients in cigarettes is nicotine, which has a significant impact on a person's dependence on cigarettes. Nicotine can be detected in a smoker's urine as a sign that his body is processing nicotine. The important enzyme CYP2A6 is involved in nicotine metabolism. This study aimed to determine the relationship between CYP2A6 genetic polymorphisms and nicotine metabolism among male smokers in Indonesia.
Methods: This study included 100 male smokers who met the inclusion criteria in a cross-sectional design using a consecutive sampling between the ages of 20 and 65 years old. Restrictions fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to examine the genetic polymorphism of CYP2A6, and nicotine metabolite levels in urine were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) examination.
Results: This study involved one hundred smokers, and 78 tested positive for the CYP2A6 polymorphism. The CYP2A6 genetic polymorphism and nicotine metabolism were not significantly correlated (p-value > 0.05). Allele *1A and genotype 1B/1B were more common in this study population. The majority of study participants had fast metabolic rates.
Conclusion: No correlation was seen between the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2A6 and nicotine metabolism in Indonesian male smokers. Consequently, it is crucial to conduct future research in diverse populations with larger samples.

Published: June 2024

Purpose –Tourism development can provide a sustainable path through which to diversify the economy. The aim of this research is 1) to assess the current economic diversification of a potential tourism region in an emerging economy, that of the Ulytau region of Kazakhstan; 2) to detail the impediments to economic diversification through tourism development, and 3) to recommend ways to foster economic diversification. Methodology/Design/Approach – The research uses secondary data to assess the current situation of the region and in-depth interviews with tourism and economic development experts to understand the current obstacles to economic diversification. Findings – This rural region of Kazakhstan is relatively concentrated in terms of its economic diversification and investment in infrastructure such roads, airports, and telecommunication as well as marking and promotion of the natural and cultural attractions will be a path to diversify the economy through tourism development. Originality of the research – This research uses evolutionary economic geography as a useful framework through which to view how destinations change over time. The research provides a model through which other destinations, dominated by non-renewable resource extraction can pivot towards tourism as a way to diversify the economy.

Published: June 2024

In November 2021, two grassroots organizations in Boston, Massachusetts—a housing and health justice organization and a student-led nonprofit—established an initiative to provide persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) near the Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard (“Mass&Cass”) intersection in Boston with access to free COVID-19 education and other wrap-around services. They partnered with hospitals, public health organizations, and advocacy groups to make this happen. This community-driven initiative serves as a model for how to enact a sustainable pipeline for PEH to receive health resources and information, with the voices of those directly impacted at the center.
