Authors: Pavlo BELYTSKYI ,   State Institution of Higher Education «Donetsk National Technical University»
Published: July 2024

The reserves of production capabilities of traction batteries of intra-production and inter-production rail narrow-gauge transport problem is considered. The article defines the maximum length of industrial cargos transportation by 2AM8D battery electric locomotives with a route that corresponds to the slope of equal resistances, based on the factors of battery energy capacity and duration of the work shift. The factors that determine the maximum length of cargo transportation by a battery electric locomotive for different number of locomotive trips are established: the average energy capacity of the battery and its average discharge voltage, the operating current in the locomotive engines, the duration of the work shift and pauses for shunting, final and other operations, the delay of the locomotive in the trip. The energy capacity reserves of the locomotive battery in industrial enterprise were estimated for work shifts lasting 6 and 8 hours on the example of the use of 2AM8D mine battery electric locomotives both in underground conditions and on the surface for intra-production and inter-production transport. As result of study was established: the main limiting factor for the maximum length of cargo transportation by battery electric locomotive is the duration of the work shift; it is possible to limit the maximum length of transportation based on the energy capacity factor of the battery when the duration of the work shift is 8 hours. and more with a small quantity of locomotive flights; for a shift duration of 6 hours when the number of locomotive flights is more than 7 the maximum length of transportation by a locomotive is limited by due to the excessively long total time of the pause on the shunting operations, and at the quantity of trips over 16 transporting is technically impossible to carry out due to the length of the work shift. Key words: industrial locomotive transport, shift duration, production capabilities of the battery, maximum length of transportation, energy capacity reserves of the battery
The Image of the Smiling Chinese Person ('Kninetz') in the Perception of Ukrainians in the 1920s (Based on the Materials of the First "Vsesvit" Publications)
Authors: Chernysh Natalia
Published: July 2024

This study examines the formation of the image of Eastern people, particularly the Chinese, in the minds of Ukrainians during the first half of the 20th century, using the early issues of the "Vsesvit" magazine as a primary source. The magazine features a wide range of publications, including essays, sketches, stories, and commentary on illustrations, depicting the lives and work of individuals from the Middle Kingdom. "Vsesvit" provides a rich collection of materials from the first quarter of the 20th century, offering valuable insights for the study of this subject. The article's scientific significance lies in expanding literary discussions related to Ukrainians' perception of "other" and "foreign" worlds, specifically China and its people. Imagination plays a crucial role in this regard, as it helps interpret the images of the "other" or the "alien" and focuses on ethnic representations of various national cultures. This research aims to understand the distinctive characteristics of the image formation of individuals from a different culture in the imagination of Ukrainians at the beginning of the 20th century. The article not only identifies the distinctive traits of the Eastern individuals but also highlights the Ukrainian perspective on the people from the Middle Kingdom during that era. As is often the case, looking at others provides insights into oneself. The article explores the main character traits of individuals from the Middle Kingdom as perceived by Ukrainians, offering numerous examples of their lives in Ukraine, the Far East, and Shanghai, while also discussing the Chinese people referred to as "khodia" and "kuli" and their speech peculiarities. Employing a descriptive research method, the article traces the "struggle" reflected in the pages of "Vsesvit" regarding the names used for the Middle Kingdom: "Khina" or "Kytai" (China), "Khinets" or "Kytaiets" (Chinese). This struggle mirrors the socio-political processes of that time in Ukraine. The article also indicates the genres in which the terms "Hina" or "Kytai" were more frequently used, as well as those inclined towards "Khinets" and "Kytaiets." It is hypothesized that the magazine's narratives featuring smiling Chinese individuals were well-suited for the humor (lit. "smile" in Ukrainian) genre initiated by Ostap Vyshnya — "Chinese smiles," in a manner of speaking, — although they were not developed as a separate thematic cycle of humorous writings, or "smiles".
Impact of Antipsychotics on the Sexuality of Patients Diagnosed with Schizophrenia
Authors: Jaballah Fares
Published: July 2024

Background: Sexuality is a natural component of human behaviour. The general population has been extensively studied since the first half of the 20th century. On the other hand, regarding patients treated for Schizophrenia (SCZ), discussing sexual disorders was initially considered inappropriate because it was thought they should not be sexually active. Given these findings, this work proposes to study the sexuality of patients with SCZ. Aim: Our objectives were to assess the sexuality of patients with schizophrenia, to identify factors associated with sexual dysfunction among these patients, and to determine practitioners' attitudes toward the sexuality of our study population. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in the psychiatry department of Kairouan (outpatient department), including 46 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. A pre-established information sheet was completed for each patient recruited, including socio-demographic and clinical data; on the other hand, three scales ensured a sexual psychometric evaluation: Psychotropic-Related Sexual Dysfunction Questionnaire PRSexDQ - SALSEX ), Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) and Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire - Male Clinical Version ( CSFQ -M -C ). Results: Concerning the evaluation of sexuality according to the scales used, SD according to the PRSexDQ-SALSEX scores was observed in 31 patients (67.4%). According to the ASEX scores, 24 patients (52%) had a SD, and for the total score of the CSFQ-M-C, 27 patients (58.7%) had a SD. We cannot confirm the existence of a relationship between the dose of the current treatment (in chlorpromazine equivalent) used and the results of the test assessing sexuality. In addition to these results, we can deduce the existence of a statistically significant association between the antipsychotic used and the results of the PRSexDO-SALSEX only. Conclusions: we recommend that screening for SD in patients followed for SCZ should be systematic, regardless of the AP molecule type and dosage. In this regard, we recommend the establishment of a better therapeutic relationship between caregivers and patients followed for SCZ, based on empathy and trust, so that the latter feel comfortable enough to address the sexual dimension in general and SD in particular.

An objective was to prove that musk has functions to cleanse the vagina and eliminate the vaginal pathogenic bacteria. The Methodology were Buying original Musk, Vaginal pathogenic bacteria isolates, and testing. The results showed the White Musk were affected on all vaginal pathogenic bacteria in descending grade of bacterial eliminations. It was found that the Grade A was Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae). That was eliminated, and completely affected by quarter1 (Q1) after 1st overnight, and by Q2 did not grow at all. The Total Means were 0.002 and 7.0 were for Spectrophotometry reading (SR), and bacterial cell / ml (BC/ml). While the lower affection of White Musk was on Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) was in grade G through the Total Means was non eliminated. The Total Means were 0.027 and 91.8 were for SR, and BC/ml. It was found that the Grade B, C, D, E, and F, were for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae), Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia). That was concluded the White Musk was considered one of the materials that cleanse the vagina of odor and vaginal pathogenic bacteria. That was recommended to complete the method for different types of the Musk to know the best in performance.

Introduction. Classical Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and primary myelofibrosis) are often associated with thrombotic events. Managing and preventing these complications are crucial in patient care. Blood microparticles play a role in promoting clot formation and contribute to thrombotic complications in these conditions. Objectives. This study aimed to assess the procoagulant activity of microparticles in patients with Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. Methods. A total of 141 patients were included in this study, with 57 patients receiving antiplatelet therapy, 45 undergoing cytoreductive treatment, and 14 being treated with ruxolitinib. The calibrated automated thrombogram assay was utilized to assess microparticles' thrombin potential using the "PRP-Reagent" and "MP-Reagent." Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica 12.0, and significance between groups was determined at p<0.05 using the Mann-Whitney test. Results. The procoagulant activity of microparticles in patients with Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms exhibited a wide range of values, from normal to significantly elevated parameters. Approximately 50% of patients treated with antiplatelets displayed increased microparticle thrombin potential. Patients with polycythemia vera and primary myelofibrosis undergoing cytoreductive therapy showed a reduction in the frequency of elevated thrombin potential values. Treatment with ruxolitinib in primary myelofibrosis patients led to a decrease in both the frequency and thrombin potential parameters using the "PRP-Reagent." Evaluation of microparticles' procoagulant activity with the "MP-Reagent" demonstrated an increase in values among patients with primary myelofibrosis receiving targeted therapy. Conclusion. Evaluating microparticle thrombin potential can serve as a valuable tool for assessing thrombotic risk in patients with Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Published: July 2024

In the period of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies poses a challenge to all countries for their legitimate use and timely implementation in the public sector. The BRICS countries are active participants in the digitalization process in the political, economic, social and military spheres, as well as in the association's activities aimed at enhancing AI technologies and communication channels. However, the rapid growth of the latest AI-based technologies threatens the already vulnerable cybersecurity sector and facilitates active informationpsychological and terrorist operations aimed at putting BRICS political actors out of work and conducting disinformation campaigns.
The right-wing populist parties in modern Spain and Portugal. Comparative analysis
Authors: Kalinin Nikita D. , Smirnov Egor Vladimirovich
Published: July 2024

The article compares the Spanish party Voice (Vox) and the Portuguese “Enough!” (Chega). Based on a primary analysis of the content of election manifestos and a secondary analysis of the results of sociological surveys, the authors draw conclusions about how right-wing populism, characteristic of European countries, is formed in Spain and Portugal, as well as what place the above-mentioned parties occupy in national political systems in order to compare the two cases under consideration. Despite many similar slogans and promises, representatives of the two parties have different views on issues such as migration, nation-building and the role of the state in the economy. Nevertheless, both political actors should be recognized as the most influential small parties in their countries. A comparison of manifestos and coalition capabilities of both political forces allowed us to talk about the existence of different models of a radical right party. As a result, it was determined that Vox is characterized by right-wing ideas of cultural nationalism and left-wing ideas of state intervention in the economy, while Chega's party discourse is constructed on the basis of general ideological patterns of European rightwing populism.

Published: July 2024

The relevance of the article is due to the ongoing climate changes on the planet, the negative consequences of which threaten the international community. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis: the efforts of the United Nations, China and the United States in combating climate change on the planet; the evolution of relations on the climate agenda between China and the United States; and the prospects for the development of climate policy by Beijing and Washington. To achieve these goals, the authors used the following research methods: observations, generalizations, abstractions, induction and deduction, formalization and concretization, structural deductive and comparative analyses of published materials on the topic of the article. These research methods allowed the authors of the article to come to the following conclusions. China and the United States have established a comprehensive regulatory framework to combat the negative effects of climate change, which constantly improved. Thanks to its economic power of the United States, as well as its initiatives in the IMF, the Arctic Council and the G-20 and G-7 aimed at the use of clean energy by economically developed countries in various fields of their application, Washington is an informal leader among developed powers. Beijing actively cooperates with developing countries, which it helps to neutralize the threats associated with climate change. Therefore, he informally heads them. In the field of cooperation between China and the United States on the climate agenda its cooperation constant difficulties, mainly related to the violation of the "red lines" in the political and economic areas of its rivalry in the international arena. However, the governments of both States still finding a common platform to maintain cooperation on climate change issues. At the same time, the Chinese side links cooperation in this area with the improvement of general relations between Washington and Beijing.
Dynamics of the Physical Volume of Industrial Production in China in 2010–2022
Authors: Akimov Alexander V.
Published: July 2024

The rapid growth of the Chinese economy should generate structural shifts associated with the saturation of some markets and the growth of others. Chinese statistics provide an opportunity to observe the dynamics of natural indicators that clearly demonstrate the state of production and markets. The article examines the production of coal, cement, electricity, mineral fertilizers, edible vegetable oil, fabrics, household refrigerators, automobiles, steel smelting, production of metalcutting machines, cell phones, integrated circuits for 2010–2022. The dynamics of changing trends in the industry of the People's Republic of China is analyzed. The analysis of the time series of industrial production in physical terms demonstrates that several groups of industries exist and develop simultaneously in Chinese industry, in which various trends are observed. There is saturation in the industries building infrastructure, but also continued growth in their modern part (electricity), or sectors aimed for new markets (coal mining, cement industry, steel production). Industries operating primarily for the domestic market are experiencing saturation and even a decline in production (mineral fertilizers, edible vegetable oil). In traditionally export industries, there is a change of leaders (reduction of fabric production). New industries are developing, working for the domestic market and exports (growth in automobile production, saturation of the household refrigerator market). In the branches of the investment complex, the technological basis is being replaced (robots replace metalworking machine-tools). The industries of the most modern electronic technologies are developing rapidly, there is saturation in the production of mobile phones, and the rapid growth is on in the production of integrated circuits. In general, China's industry operates in three large and relatively independent groups of markets: the markets of developed countries, the growing domestic market, as well as the markets of developing countries.
Comparative Analysis of the Far East Countries’ Sovereign Debt Risk
Authors: Balyuk Igor A. , Balyuk Marina A.
Published: July 2024

Due to the changing geopolitical landscape, Russia has been forced to actively establish new international relationships to create conditions for the sustainable development of its national economy and enhance its sovereignty. To promote the development of Russia's Asian regions, it is particularly significant to strengthen cooperation with rapidly growing Asian countries classified as part of the Far East. Sovereign debt risk is an essential consideration when drafting a plan for long-term partnership. This article analyses public debt burdens and determines the level of sovereign debt risk of the Far East countries, which can be considered as current and potential economic partners for Russia. The study showed that the countries of the Far Eastern region — potential partners of Russia have a moderate level of sovereign debt burden. While the highest debt risk was revealed in Mongolia, taking into account the relatively low level of national debt in absolute terms and the downward trend in the public debt to GDP ratio, the overall situation can be considered as manageable. Japan is the most problematic among the countries of the Far Eastern region in terms of the level of sovereign debt risk. But the paradox lies in the fact that all existing debt monitoring systems are focused on a detailed analysis of developing countries and countries with economies in transition, but within the current model of the world order the growth of debt dependence in the developed countries, which set the rules of the game, is not considered as one of the global problems. The rising debt dependence is a global problem that requires comprehensive, coordinated action from the international community. Appropriate mechanisms to manage the global economy and finance in a manner based on the most countries’ interests in the multipolar world should be developed and implemented by G20+ as the most significant international organization today.
The orders of Darius I and Xerxes in the corpus of the Achaemenid royal inscriptions
Authors: Rung Eduard V.
Published: July 2024

The article examines the role of the orders of Darius I and Xerxes in the functioning of the legal system in the Achaemenid Persian Empire. It is concluded that along with local political and legal traditions, royal decrees, commands and instructions that came from the king himself and his office served as tools of socio-political and economic regulation in the Achaemenid empire. The Achaemenid trilingual royal inscriptions are analysed as the main source of information on this subject. These texts contain references to king’s orders, and the terminological analysis, covering the corresponding vocabulary of inscriptions in the main three languages (Old Persian, Elamite and Akkadian), allows us to come to some conclusions regarding the functioning of the Achaemenid legal system as a whole. It can be asserted that royal orders mentioned there can be divided into three groups (royal decrees, royal commands and proclamations). In the Achaemenid royal inscriptions orders given by the king to his military commanders or his army can be considered as commands, while decrees do not have any specific addressee and are of more general nature. If one speaks about a special type of royal commands, such as proclamations, these are addressed to the entire population of the Achaemenid Empire.

Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the most difficult period in the history of Liberia – the time of the First and Second Civil Wars (1989–1997 and 1999–2003) and the post-war development of the country. Various non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including women’s associations operating in urban and rural areas and gaining credibility both at home and abroad, have played and still play a huge role in the fight against armed conflicts, aggression, oppression and discrimination. The effectiveness and efficiency of such NGOs largely depend on those activists and peacekeepers, i.e. the leaders, who create and lead them. They strive for positive changes in society with their progressive ideas and energy. Such personalities include Leyma Robert Gbowee, whose life and fate are discussed in this article. This outstanding African woman, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a public activist who devoted herself to fighting violence, for peace and human rights, directed her energy to organizing a mass women’s movement in Liberia, whose nonviolent methods of protest stopped the Civil War in the country in 2003. She managed to unite Christian and Muslim women, residents of urban neighborhoods and rural women, awaken them to active political activity and join in building a just state in Liberia.

Published: July 2024

The situation around the Korean Peninsula combines such factors as nuclear weapons, missile defense systems, and huge groups of conventional armed forces concentrated in Northeast Asia. The U.S. administration argues that missile defense’s mission is to counter the threat from North Korean missiles to American and allied troops in South Korea and Japan. Hence, this line of confrontation between the U.S. and DPRK is at the focus of the article. A significant number of experts believe that regional missile defense (theater missile defense, TMD) will only stabilize the situation. The purpose of this article is to determine a possible impact of strengthened TMD architecture of the U.S., South Korean and Japanese forces for the security situation in the region under consideration. The author analyzes scenarios, which are most often discussed by experts, scientists, military, and politicians. The role of the doctrinal guidelines of the DPRK, South Korea and the United States in aggravating the situation in the event of strengthening of the American and allied regional missile defense system in Northeast Asia in the context of a political-military crisis is shown.

Przyczyny wydawania dwóch postanowień o stwierdzeniu nabycia spadku po tym samym spadkodawcy w świetle badań aktowych i propozycje de lege ferenda
Authors: Rylski Piotr
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article is to determine the reasons for the issuance of several decisions confirming the acquisition of an inheritance from the same testator and to assess the current legal status to counteract such a situation, as well as to indicate possible directions for legislative changes. This paper presents the results of file research conducted by the Institute of Justice, which shows that in most cases such a reason is not the bad will of the participants in the proceedings, but the insufficient use of existing preventive instruments by the courts or the lack of adequate follow-up procedural mechanisms. The author’s thesis is that there is a need for a new legal instrument enabling the court of first instance to cancel also ex officio the second succession order issued under res judicata conditions. This measure should replace the extraordinary complaint to the Supreme Court currently used for this purpose.
Relationship between a deceased person and their close one versus compensation amount
Authors: Partyk Aleksandra
Published: July 2024

The issue of deciding court cases basing on unconstrained evaluation by a judge is immanently connected to the matter of the motives and mechanisms utilised during a decision-making process. This problem fits into the object of interest of interdisciplinary cognitive studies. The issue presented in the text is based on the regulation in force in Polish tort law, which grants the closest relatives of the deceased the right to seek compensation after death of the deceased. The article presents an analysis conducted based on surveys filled out by 213 individuals including several groups of lawyers (also judges) as well as nonlawyers. The participants worked on one of two, partly diverse cases – differing in the figure of the person claiming benefits after the death of a loved one (husband or informal partner) and whether the couple had a child together. The survey results confirm it is hard to predict how the harm may be evaluated not only in the group of lawyers but also in the group of nonlawyers. In general, respondents see a basis for granting benefits to the relatives of the deceased. The outcomes of the research give reasons for formulating the suggestion that compensation cases ought to be adjudicated by courts which rule as collegial bodies (comprising lay judges and professional judges).
THE STATE AS A GUARANTEE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS IN THE PRACTICE OF CONSTITUTIONALISM IN THE CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Tolkachov Oleksii А. ,   Kyiv University of Law
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes the practice of constitutionalism in relation to the development of civil society. According to the results of the analysis, it was established that the provisions regarding civil society in the modern constitutions of post-Soviet countries confirm that although neoliberalism initially developed as a response to the economic doctrine of classical liberalism, it has an all-pervading essence and exerts a powerful influence on the entire state-legal reality. It is substantiated that the state-independent position of civil society, guarantees of its functioning and free structuring should be enshrined in the constitution, which is the main limiter of the state. And despite the declarative nature of the constitution of post-Soviet countries, they are a model of expression of the basic law. Defining the state as a guarantor of human rights and freedoms is necessary to prevent society from spreading disorder - a critical increase in entropy. That is, chaos is born in excessive freedom and the possibility of a person to realize his freedom is dissipated. Therefore, the task of the state is to carry out organizational activities to maintain a certain level of order in society, defined by the social contract. The implementation of this task of the state allows to maintain society in an organized state with a high level of individual freedom, but to keep it from a critical increase in entropy. At the same time, the social contract is a denominator of the balance of the social system, as it determines the order of things in society and the basis of the relationship between a person, society and the state with the consent of every free person. There are reasons to attribute the content of the social contract to the sphere of natural law, as a system of norms realized by free citizens, based on the real order of things and moral and ethical principles. It was found that the three-subject model of the social system (free citizen, civil society, state) expresses the ideal model of management of the neoliberal social system, which contains norms that apply to all three subjects of the system.
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN THE FOURTH GENERATION HUMAN RIGHTS SYSTEM
Authors: Volkova Yulia F. ,   Uzhhorod National University
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the study of human reproductive rights in the system of rights of the fourth generation, the formation of which is connected with scientific progress in the development of medicine and informatics. It is established that modern studies of the human right to reproduction (reproduction) are mostly considered through the prism of such broader concepts as "reproductive rights", "somatic rights", "biological rights". It was determined that in the structure of human somatic rights, as the rights of the new fourth generation, a significant group is occupied by reproductive rights related to human reproduction of future generations. It is emphasized that the main function of a person is the reproductive function, which is based on the natural desire to have a child. Attention is focused on the fact that one of the problems at present can be called the inability of people of reproductive age to conceive and give birth to a child naturally. Today, men and women have this opportunity thanks to the use of assisted reproductive technologies that arose with the development of biomedicine, which includes methods of artificial influence on reproduction, treatment of people from diseases that prevent the body from bearing and giving birth to a healthy child. The work established that one of the most important principles of reproductive rights is the principle of human freedom in choosing the method of exercising the right to reproduction. International and national legislation is based on the fact that every person has the right to voluntarily and freely make decisions about the birth of children, their number and intervals between births, using assisted reproductive technologies: termination of pregnancy, sterilization, use of contraceptives, methods of artificial insemination, etc. It was revealed that the state of implementation of assisted reproductive technologies in Ukraine today is characterized by a special need of the population. The analysis of regulatory and legal documents of Ukraine, international treaties on the protection of human reproductive health, in particular the treatment of infertility with the help of programs of auxiliary reproductive technologies, was carried out. It was established that the legal framework is outdated, that is, it does not correspond to the modern, innovative scientific realities of modern Ukrainian society, and is mostly permissive in nature. It is considered expedient to initiate the development and adoption of a special law in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which would clearly define the concept of "reproductive rights", establish the scope of these rights, and establish the obligations and responsibilities of subjects for violations of reproductive rights.

Published: July 2024

The article deals with the topical issues of taxation of individual entrepreneurs in the current economic environment. The relevance of this article is related to the fact that small business performs an important socio-economic function, since it not only provides itself with work, but also creates jobs, and fills the revenue side of budgets and extra-budgetary funds. The purpose of the article is to examine the peculiarities of taxation of economic activities of individual entrepreneurs at the current stage and to determine the nearest prospects. To this end, the author analyses the legal framework for taxation of economic activities of individual entrepreneurs. The article provides a detailed analysis of the general and simplified taxation system for individual entrepreneurs. The advantages and disadvantages of both the general and simplified systems of taxation of activities of individual entrepreneurs are identified. The main factors that affect the size of the tax burden of individual entrepreneurs depending on the chosen taxation group are identified. The advantages and disadvantages of choosing a particular group of single tax payers by individual entrepreneurs are considered. Given the current conditions of functioning of individual entrepreneurs related to the fullscale war, the author examines what legislative changes have taken place in the field of taxation of individual entrepreneurs in 2022-2023. Based on the analysis of certain provisions of the National Revenue Strategy 2030 programme presented by the government which relate to the activities of individual entrepreneurs, certain assumptions are made regarding changes in the taxation of small businesses. The author makes a general conclusion that taxation of economic activities of individual entrepreneurs is of great importance for stimulating entrepreneurship and economic development of the country, especially in the context of martial law, when a significant part of the country's production capacities has been destroyed. However, in order to stimulate the development of small business, which is expected to become the engine of the Ukrainian economy in the coming years, it is necessary to take balanced steps that take into account the specifics of doing business in Ukraine.

Authors: Vargas-Chaves Iván , Gómez-Rey Andrés , Rodríguez Gloria Amparo
Published: July 2024

Este artículo se aproxima a la forma en la cual categoría legal de utilidad pública e interés social se presenta entre la minería, la infraestructura vial y el ambiente en Colombia desde la óptica que supone la confrontación y un falso equilibrio entre el desarrollo económico y la protección del ambiente. La metodología de aproximación lleva a cabo un análisis doctrinal y jurisprudencial abordando la cuestión desde el interés jurídico que supone la protección del ambiente y, a través una lógica constitucional respecto a la imposibilidad de asignar a un decálogo de actividades al apelativo de utilidad pública e interés social. Sin embargo, el escrito propone intentar aproximarse a preguntas poco realizadas en el estudio de la utilidad pública y por ello los argumentos presentados son circulares e insistentes.

The Impact of Household Fuel Use for Cooking on Residents' Cognitive Abilities in China
Authors: Lin Weiming , Zhu Zheng
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the impacts of household use of solid fuels for cooking on cognitive ability in adults older than 16 years. We match the individual data from a nationally representative longitudinal survey of Chinese Family Panel Studies in 2010, 2014 and 2018, and outdoor air pollution in China by the exact time and geographic locations of cognitive ability tests. We use unbalanced panel fixed effect models to examine the impacts of household fuel use for cooking on cognitive ability, and panel instrumental variable method to address potential endogenous concerns associated with household use of solid fuel for cooking and cognitive ability. We find that household use of solid fuels for cooking significantly decreases mathematical cognitive ability rather than verbal cognitive ability. We also find that daily housework length and expenditures on culture, education, and recreation are two underlying mechanisms through which household use of solid fuels for cooking affects mathematical cognitive ability. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the negative effect of household use of solid fuels for cooking on mathematical cognitive ability becomes more pronounced among middle-aged and elderly people, for females, and for people who lived in southern China. Finally, exercise reduces the negative effects of household use of solid fuels for cooking on cognitive ability. These findings are new compared to the existing literature.
