Authors: Lemus-Rosas Jenifer Eliana , Fuentes-Gonzalez Nieves
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: Interpretar los mitos y las creencias acerca de la violencia contra la mujer en un grupo de mujeres del área rural del municipio de Aquitania- Boyacá. Materiales y métodos: Estudio cualitativo con método microetnográfico. La selección de las 12 participantes se hizo una vez la investigadora estuvo inmersa en el contexto social y teniendo en cuenta el principio de pertinencia. La recolección de la información se llevó a cabo en el año 2021, durante la pandemia de la Covid -19, a través de la observación participante, entrevistas en profundidad y notas de campo, para lo cuales, se tuvo la aprobación de la comunidad, aval de comité de ética y firma del consentimiento informado. Para el análisis de los datos teóricos se siguió la técnica de categorización de Corbin y Strauss. Resultados: se establecieron cinco categorías: legitimando la violencia, viviendo el maltrato, papel de la familia, tomando medidas para mitigar el maltrato y comenzando a vivir una nueva vida, las tres primeras categorías simbolizan los mitos y las dos últimas representan las creencias. Estos elementos conceptuales permitieron explicar la violencia contra la mujer como un fenómeno repetitivo, permitido y normalizado, pero en situaciones extremas donde la vida se pone en riesgo, la mujer denuncia o abandona el hogar. Conclusiones: La violencia contra la mujer está determinada por factores culturales, sociales y económicos, es ejercida principalmente por el cónyuge y/o los padres y, genera problemas psicosociales y físicos en la mujer.

Published: September 2023

Valsa canker is a fungal disease of apple and pear growing areas in
China even Asia. Malectin like kinases take crucial roles in plant
recognition of the pathogen-induced signals and subsequent activation of
partially host immune responses. However, the role of MEDOS1 (MDS1) in
plant immunity has not yet been extensively explored. In the Malus
domestic genome, we found that the MdMDS1, a homologous gene of
MDS1 in Arabidopsis, responded to Valsa mali (
Vm) and Valsa pyri ( Vp). Over-expression of
MdMDS1 decreased Valsa canker resistance of Pyrus
betulifolia ‘Duli-G03’ suspension cells, and apple and pear fruits.
During suspension cells in response to Vp signals, up-regulation
of MdMDS1 inhibited expression of defense-related genes but
activated cell wall related genes. Among these, pectin methylesterase
gene PbePME1 was robustly induced. Further analysis confirmed
that PbePME1, a negative regulator of Valsa canker resistance,
was indispensable for MdMDS1’s function by interaction. Our
results provide a theoretical reference for the resistant breeding and
comprehensive control of Valsa canker of both apple and pear.

Published: September 2023

The conversion of corn oil into quality methyl ester through the
transesterification process is an age-old concept. Because of its higher
degree of unsaturation, similar to soybean oil, transesterified corn oil
can be used to produce bio-based resin. Replicating published methods
did not result in the desired quantity and quality of corn methyl ester
needed for bio-resin production, which requires further investigation.
This research investigated the effect of neutralization on the yield and
quality of methyl ester produced from corn oil. The reaction was
conducted at 60 ºC with a methanol-oil ratio of 6:1 and NaOH as a
catalyst. After stopping the reaction with HCl, a hypothesized recovered
yield (>70%) of corn methyl ester was achieved. The
process was conducted at different reaction times (0.5, 1, and 1.5 h)
and acid amounts in neutralization (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). The
methyl ester yield ranged from 45-79%. A statistical model was obtained
with linear and quadratic terms, and the recovered yield varied
significantly with the acid amount, reaction time, and their
interactions. Stopping the reaction with 25% neutralization resulted in
around 20% yield increase compared to no acid treatment. On the other
hand, the yield was reduced by 18-24% with increasing time when no acid
was added. All the measured characteristics of the produced corn methyl
ester sample were found within the limits of ASTM D6751 pure methyl
ester. Overall, the optimization of the neutralization process showed
promise in increasing the yield of quality methyl ester from corn oil.

Published: September 2023

Background: Sexual masochism is a form of gender discrimination based on beliefs, stereotypes and attitudes that limit autonomy and devalue individuals based on their gender. Objective: To determine the internal structure validity and reliability of the EMS-Sexism-12 to measure sexual machismo in the Peruvian population. Method: The study used an instrumental design with a convenience sample of 2470 students from a public university in Arequipa, Peru. The sample consisted of 50% men (M = 20.53; SD = 2.64) and 50% women (M = 19.95; SD = 2.27), representing engineering and social science disciplines. The instrument used was the Sexual Machismo Scale (EMS-Sexism-12), originally constructed and validated in Mexico. Results: The data were analysed using CFA and the WLSMV estimator along with polychoric correlation matrices in the open-source software Rstudio. The analysis revealed a unidimensional model with good fit indices for both men (CFI = .924, TLI = .907, SMRM = 0.069) and women (CFI = .936, TLI = .922, SMRM = 0.051). Furthermore, evidence of internal consistency reliability was observed for men and women, respectively (ω = .969; ω = .897). Gender-specific norms are included for reference. Conclusions: The sexual machismo scale shows evidence of similar validity and reliability with the same items in men and women from Arequipa, Peru.

Omissions in the Implementation of Public Consultations in the Procedure of Adopting General Acts Through the Practice of the High Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia
Authors: Struić Gordan
Published: September 2023

Croatian local and regional self-government units are obliged to conduct public consultations when adopting general acts that affect the interests of citizens and legal entities. Bearing that in mind, the aim of this paper is to determine whether there are certain omissions – confirmed by the High Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia – in the implementation of public consultations in the procedure of adopting general acts and, if there are, what they consist of. To this aim, the paper analyzes the decisions of the mentioned Court in procedures for assessing the legality of general acts adopted by local and regional self-government units. After the first introductory part, the second part briefly explains the normative framework, the third part states the methodology used, the fourth part analyzes the judicial practice, and in the fifth part, concluding remarks are stated. The analysis shows that since 2013, when the obligation to conduct public consultation was introduced, the Court has abolished 11 general acts. In the process of adopting those acts, the public consultation procedure was not conducted in accordance with the law: the first and the most common reason for contesting the general act was the absence of public consultation, and the second reason for that was non-compliance with the prescribed deadline of 30 days. Although practice has shown some other reasons as well, they all boil down to the fact that public consultation was not conducted.
Peculiarities of legal regulation of certain contractual constructions: legal regulation of contracts in the IT sphere
Authors: Popovych С.H.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of scientific approaches to defining the concept of contracts in the IT sphere. The specifics of the legal regulation of these contracts are revealed. An analysis of the current Ukrainian legislation in this area was carried out. The main issues of contractual regulation of IT relations in Ukraine have been identified. The legal nature of contracts in the field of IT law and methods of legal protection of the relevant institutes are considered.It is noted that the existing legal acts are outdated and irrelevant in our time. Some normative acts are formed as an entrapment to worsen the legal status. Separately, we will consider such an important point as the registration of labour relations in the sphere of IT, since it affects both employers and employees in this field. Some scholars argue that IT contracts should be concluded according to the principle of an employment contract, as this gives employees additional guarantees of rights and minimizes the deterioration of the situation. Also, foreign experience quite often emphasizes that the use of outsourcing, outstaffing, and staff leasing in companies is quite common.This paper contains relevant issues and compares the regulation of these relations at the international level. If attention is focused and this issue is actively implemented at the national level, it will become another source of income for the state budget, which will have a positive effect on the country’s economic situation during the state of war.The subject of the contract is also a particularly significant aspect in this area. It is necessary to define the subject of this contract as thoroughly as possible and to correctly and efficiently distribute intellectual property rights.The difference between a civil law contract and a contract in the informational sphere is considered. Furthermore, the issue of tax planning in this area arises repeatedly. It includes the choice of the system of taxation of IT business in Ukraine, which will directly correspond to the volume and nature of works and services that a certain company is going to dispose.The recent domestic case law on this issues has been analyzed. Court decisions that analyzed the legal nature of the contract itself. Types and subtypes of contracts in the IT sphere and current registration of IT workers are also analyzed.
Conciliation procedures in the resolution of labour disputes
Authors: Lutsenko O.E.
Published: September 2023

It has been emphasized in the article that many employees and employers increasingly choose alternative methods of labour dispute resolution (alternative dispute resolution – ADR) – conciliation procedures, such as mediation. ADR offers a means of ensuring justice in the workplace for more workers at a lower cost and helps to “clean up” the backlog of statutory dispute resolution institutions, and thus helps public institutions to meet society’s need for labour dispute resolution more effectively.The author has drawn attention to the fact that historically, organizations responded to conflict only when it arose; they did not develop planning by conflict. However, today the situation has changed dramatically and organizations are increasingly implementing dispute resolution planning systems, which represent a systematic approach to conflict prevention, management and resolution that focuses on the cause of conflict within the organization.The author has concluded that the important features of project systems for resolving labour disputes – ADR are: 1) to help resolve labour disputes/conflicts, bringing common sense, goodwill and professionalism to the fore; 2) to provide a safe environment for expressing one’s positions, because disagreements and problems must be freely highlighted; 3) stimulate a clear and balanced decision, which should be the product of a free and constructive discussion, in which everyone has the opportunity to express their position freely and without hesitation.The author has summarized that the introduction of ADR in the organization, the resolution of internal complaints, disciplinary procedures and the implementation of the conflict management system has a number of advantages. These include: greater transparency of workplace procedures, procedural flexibility, efficiency and confidentiality that ensures party confidentiality and protects the organization’s reputation. ADR can also offer greater “sensitivity” to the needs of a particular workplace and especially its employees in highly sensitive and personal disputes, such as claims of sexual harassment, harassment, mobbing, etc. In addition, in facilitating consultative ADR processes, an agreement reached in a workplace dispute may contain a wide range of new outcomes that are not normally part of a court decision, and which may provide conflict resolution options that better suit the needs of each party.
Peculiarities of preventing offences in the field of taxes and fees
Authors: Podolian Y.O.
Published: September 2023

The article is a study of the peculiarities of preventing tax and levy offenses. In particular, it is established that taxes and levies play an important role in the country’s financial system, providing financial resources for carrying out state functions, developing infrastructure, and social programs. An effective tax system affects the financial stability of the state and contributes to its economic development. It has been investigated that administrative and criminal liability are important aspects of combating tax offenses. Administrative liability includes the imposition of fines, penalties, and other sanctions in case of non-compliance with tax obligations. Criminal liability involves holding individuals accountable for intentionally violating tax legislation, including tax evasion or illegal transactions related to tax obligations. The article examines in detail the features of preventing tax and levy offenses, which include a range of measures. It is established that first and foremost, it is necessary to increase the awareness of citizens and enterprises regarding tax regulations and obligations. Wide access to information about tax rules and the consequences of violating legislation promotes conscientious fulfillment of tax obligations. It is determined that the second feature is the establishment of an effective mechanism for monitoring and verifying compliance with tax legislation. This includes setting up an audit system and investigating tax offenses using modern information technologies. Such control helps to detect violations and ensures effective response to them.It is specified that the imposition of strict sanctions for violations of tax legislation is another important component of prevention. An effective system of fines and penalties serves as a preventive measure and a deterrent for potential violators. However, it is important to ensure fairness and transparency in the application of sanctions, avoiding excessive pressure on taxpayers. It has been found that cooperation between government agencies, such as the tax service, law enforcement agencies, and the judicial system, is quite important and has a significant impact on the prevention and cessation of tax offenses. The mutual exchange of information and coordination of actions help to respond more effectively to tax offenses and hold the guilty parties accountable.Therefore, the prevention of tax and levy offenses is an important element in ensuring the financial stability of the state and stimulating its economic development.
The peculiarities of exemption from punishment for individuals who have made public calls to commit a terrorist act
Authors: Konopelskyi V. , Chekmaryova I.
Published: September 2023

The article is a study of the peculiarities of exemption from punishment for individuals who have made public calls to commit a terrorist act. Specifically, it was established that a terrorist act involves violent activities or violence carried out with the intention to instill fear, panic, threaten lives, health, and safety of people, or to intimidate by using civilians as human shields or armed means. Terrorist acts are usually aimed at achieving political, religious, ideological, or social goals and can be perpetrated by individuals, groups, or organizations. The criminal responsibility for committing a terrorist act is governed by Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.Furthermore, the article specifies that the crime defined in Article 258–2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, «Public Calls to Commit a Terrorist Act,» is characterized by the special intent of disseminating materials inciting terrorist acts. According to Article 258–2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, those who make public calls to commit a terrorist act may face not only imprisonment but also corrective labor or arrest.The study concludes that a systemic analysis of general types of exemption from criminal liability, as provided in Articles 45–49 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, allows for their application to individuals who have committed terrorist offenses. Thus, the provisions for exemption from criminal liability based on personal surety (Article 47 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and exemption due to a change in circumstances (Article 48 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) can be applied to individuals who have been involved in committing a terrorist act (Part 1 of Article 258–1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and those who have made public calls to commit a terrorist act (Article 258–2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).Consequently, legislative compromise regarding terrorist offenses represents a special form of criminal law impact. Within the realm of criminal law regulation of specific forms of exemption from criminal liability for committing terrorist offenses, there are ongoing scientific discussions, which discern the rational basis of scientific assertions, enabling a more rational implementation of legislative compromise concerning these crimes.
Types of measures regarding the implementation of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in Ukraine
Authors: Minchenko D.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to determining the peculiarities of application of various types of measures in the mechanism of execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in Ukraine.Based on the analysis of international legal acts, provisions of Ukrainian legislation and case law, the author describes the procedure for applying individual measures and general measures in the process of enforcement of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in Ukraine. The author distinguishes the difference between the procedure for enforcement of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the procedure for enforcement of judgments of foreign courts or international commercial arbitrations in Ukraine.It is argued that the viewpoint in the scientific literature that judicial review is not the main means of individual influence in the mechanism of enforcement of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights does not in any way negate its importance in situations where restitutio in integrum is possible only in this way.The author concludes that measures to enforce a judgment of the European Court of Human Rights are comprehensive in nature and are aimed at the fullest possible restoration of the violated right, elimination of the negative consequences of such a violation and prevention of similar violations in the future.The . The author concludes that individual measures are best suited to a particular legal situation. They are implemented both by virtue of the direct effect of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights on the territory of Ukraine (in terms of payment of compensation to the victim) and by adopting decisions of state authorities based on the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in accordance with the established procedure. For example, by reviewing decisions of national courts in exceptional circumstances.The author concludes that general measures have a systemic impact on the legal system of the State, serve the purpose of bringing national legislation closer to European standards and have a preventive effect on preventing future violations of the rights protected by the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights, not only in respect of the person in whose favour the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights was delivered, but also in respect of any other citizens of the relevant State.

This research focuses on the representation of libraries in national films. The primary objective of this study is to analyze how libraries are portrayed in films using a semiotic analysis approach, primarily drawing from Roland Barthes' theory. The research methodology employed is qualitative descriptive with a semiotic analysis approach based on Roland Barthes' theory. The findings of this research reveal various representations of libraries in several national films featuring library scenes and librarians. Some of the national films examined include "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta," "Adriana," "Refrain," "Pupus," "The Tarix Jabrix 2," "Marmut Merah Jambu," and "Kukira Kau Rumah." Through the analysis, these national films depict different conditions of libraries, both in school and university settings, and diverse representations of librarians, ranging from young to middle-aged professionals. In the context of these films, libraries are illustrated as favored gathering spots for students and university attendees during their breaks. Furthermore, the librarians in these films are portrayed as ideal service providers, even though some of the systems they utilize remain conventional. Consequently, this research offers valuable insights into how libraries and librarians are represented in national cinema and how perceptions of library institutions and individual librarians are reflected in these cinematic works.

As tourism ambassadors, satisfied tourists may influence potential tourists with zero-cost marketing.
Synthesis of Heptylalkanoyldisulfides and Investigation of Their Antimicrobial Properties
Authors: Aliyev Fuad , Azizova Sara
Published: September 2023

The paper describes the results of the research of some heptylalkanoyldisulfides as antimicrobial additives to the lubricating oils. Heptylalkanoyldisulfides were synthesized and studied. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Study of antimicrobial properties of the studied heptylalkanoyldisulfides revealed effective bactericidal and fungicidal activities in suppression of fungi and bacteria allowing them to be used as biocides in storage and transportation of oil products. Antimicrobial efficacy of the studied compounds was determined by zonal diffusion method using the following microorganisms: bacteria, fungi and yeast. The test compounds were added to M-8 oil in mass percent. It is established that their antimicrobial activity is at the level of effectiveness of the widely used industrial additive sodium pentachlorophenolate. Sodium pentachlorophenolate, widely applied as an antimicrobial additive in lubricating oils, was used for comparison. It was determined that they may be used as antimicrobial additives for M-8 engine oil (0.25-1%). As a result of the studies carried out on heptylalkanoyldisulfides, distinct patterns of dependence of antimicrobial efficacy on the structure of alkyl radical were determined. Antimicrobial activity increases by an increase in alkyl radical, i.e., each subsequent member of the disulfide series is biologically more active than the previous one. The increase in antimicrobial activity seems to be due to the fact that the adding each new CH2 group gives one more van der Waals bond, increasing adsorption forces that bind the compound to the receptor in the microorganism. As a result of the studies carried out on heptylalkanoyldisulfides, distinct patterns of dependence of antimicrobial efficacy on the structure of alkyl radical were determined

To investigate the effects of quetiapine on thyroid function tests in newly diagnosed schizophrenic patients. Thirty subjects with schizophrenia, were treated openly with quetiapine .Diagnosis of schizophrenia was made according to DSM-IV criteria of American Psychiatric Association. Another thirty healthy individual participated in the study as a control group. Thyroid data, consisting of values for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total triiodothyronine (TT3 ), and total thyroxine (TT4). TSH, TT3, and TT4 were measured by radioimmunoassay. Measurements of patient’s thyroid data were done before and after 3 months of therapy (Suggested period of the research) with quetiapine and at the start of the research for the controls. Comparison of TSH, TT3 and TT4 of the control group and those of patients before treatment shows a non significant differences for all parameters. Comparison between TSH, TT3 and TT4 values before and after treatment with quetiapine shows only a significant reduction of TT4 values (P<0.001). This study shows that 3 months therapy with quetiapine leads to a reduction of TT4 concentration in the serum of schizophrenic patients.

Authors: A.H. Ahmed Omer , A.J. Mahmood Ahmed
Published: September 2023

The inhibitory effect for human plasma and erythrocyte cholinesterase activity by six drugs already known as an enzyme inhibitors (Cimetidine, Ciprofloxacin, Donepezil, Sildenafil, Erythromycin, and Chlorpheniramine) was tested in vitro. The affinity toward the cholinesterase system was evaluated by using different concentrations of the investigated drugs. The cholinesterase activities were determined by using the modified electrometric method. Each drug showed different ability to inhibit cholinesterase activity depending on its concentration and its selectivity to the either plasma or erythrocyte cholinesterase; only Donepezil and Chlorpheniramine showed higher inhibitory effect. Ciprofloxacin showed moderate inhibition of cholinesterase but still statistically insignificant. Cimetidine, Sildenafil and Erythromycin showed little inhibitory activity although they have a good inhibitory effect on the liver enzyme system Cytochrome P450 (CYP450 ).

Authors: Kruglova Elena Leonidovna
Published: September 2023

Stereotypes and prejudices can influence our views and decisions in various spheres of life, including the economy. The author addresses the most important social group – the family and examines the features of the economic behavior of all its members in comparison with the models and patterns of behavior described in Russian proverbs and sayings. The family, both nuclear and extended, is the main object of research. Being the foundation of the state, the family remains the most important source of information for understanding the economic and financial culture of the population, the conditions for its formation and identifying strong points for further development. Sociological content analysis is chosen as the main method of analysis. The article is written at the intersection of sociological, linguistic, historical and philosophical sciences. The scientific novelty of the presented research is both the problematic topic itself, which was not previously presented in the scientific field, and the unification of three time modes during the author's analysis: past, present and future. During the content analysis, the author identified five thematic groups of proverbs and sayings that have semantic references to finance, attitude to money and economic roles in the family. Each of the groups is accompanied by up-to-date data from secondary sociological research and statistics in order to compare, highlight common and different in the economic life of Russian families over the past centuries. The focus of the research is focused on analyzing the dynamics of changes in the attitude of members of the Russian family to finance and the strength of the influence of economic stereotypes on families of the XXI century, expressed through specific linguistic forms. The conclusions of this research are of interest to a wide range of readers whose professional or social interests include economic sociology, demography, Russian history and historical linguistics, as well as population issues.
Axiological and cultural specifics of the interpretation of the concept of "sin" in modern Catholicism (on the example of digitized sermons of the Russian Catholic clergy)
Authors: Silantieva Tatiana Sergeevna
Published: September 2023

The object of the study is the process of communication of social groups, considered from the point of view of its value bases. The subject of the study is the conceptualization of the concepts of "sin" in the (digitized) sermons of Russian Catholic pastors, which are texts that are precedent for the environment of Russian Catholics. The purpose of the work is to establish the dominant trends in the interpretation of the concept of "sin" that exist in this community. To achieve this goal , the following tasks were set: 1) identify specific religious groups whose discourse analysis will clarify the existing interpretations of this concept; 2) select a relevant methodology that allows you to begin analyzing these interpretations; 3) correlate the results obtained with the basic text that establishes framework interpretations (in this case, it will be the catechism of the Catholic Church). The research methodology is based on the application of a comprehensive philosophical and cultural method based on axiological, anthropological and hermeneutic approaches. Content analysis and discourse analysis are used as specific methods. The scientific novelty of the work consists in establishing the possibilities and limits of the axiological "extensibility" of the concept of "sin" on the example of specific materials with a potentially wide audience (in addition to representatives of the community of Russian Catholics, any Internet users can enter it). Introducing the concept of "sin" as one of the cultural constants of Christianity as a whole, the considered sermons broadcast its stable canonical interpretations. There were no value reversals associated with possible responses to the transformation of social relations and the reflection of this process in the value consciousness of the authors of the studied sermons. At the same time, as a result of the scientific analysis of the collected material, unexpected results were revealed. Firstly, the sema "sin" is relatively rare in the digitized sermons of the Russian Catholic clergy. Secondly, while maintaining a negative assessment of sin, there is practically no meaningful analysis of this concept. Instead, a constellation of concepts built around "love" and "mercy" becomes a conjugate semantic field.
Is challenging testimony a new duty of the accused?
Authors: Markova Tatiana , Maksimova Tatiana
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the possibility of the court, provided for in paragraph 5 of Part 2 of Article 281 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, to make a decision on the disclosure of the testimony of witnesses and victims. This problem is investigated by the authors in the context of the fact that the parties should be given the opportunity to protect their interests by all means not prohibited by law, including challenging the read testimony and petitions for their verification with the help of other evidence, as well as by using other means that contribute to the prevention, detection and elimination of errors in court decisions. Based on the study of judicial practice, the authors consider the question of what is meant by the defendant's ability to challenge the testimony of a person testifying against him in ways not prohibited by law and whether it matters what position the defense takes on this issue. The article gives a critical assessment of the approach to solving this issue that has developed in law enforcement practice, which, in essence, "obliges" the defense party to file a petition for a confrontation in case of disagreement with the testimony of a witness. It is noted that this approach is obviously incorrect, and this position is justified. The authors come to the conclusion that depriving the defendant of the right to interrogate the participant showing against him is depriving him of the opportunity to demonstrate to the court the inconsistency of the testimony given by the victim or witness, which can become the key evidence underlying the court's conviction against the defendant. The authors of the article consider correct the position in which the court takes into account the non-confrontation between the accused and the victim, the witness at the stage of preliminary investigation as a circumstance preventing the disclosure of testimony, taking into account the position of the defense. The article evaluates proposals to improve the norms of criminal procedure legislation, taking into account the balance of interests of the parties.

Objective: To analyze the talk-in-interaction of individuals living with diabetes regarding questions about autonomy and self-care. Methods: This was a qualitative study with educational group sessions using a problematizing methodology with nine participants. Results: Five categories emerged: autonomy and self-care; food; diabetes complications; pharmacological treatment; and lifestyle habits. The results presented herein refer to the autonomy and self-care category. There was difficulty in adapting the guidelines given by the health team to the reality of individuals in their biopsychosocial context. A lack of access to health services and social and family support were also observed. Conclusion: The analysis of the participants’ perceptions revealed difficulties in diabetes treatment related to each individual’s daily life and access to treatment. Analyzing the demands and difficulties of individuals with diabetes, within their various realities, can help in building bridges between knowledge about the disease and changes in attitude toward its treatment, providing autonomy and self-care.
