Published: July 2024

Binge eating disorder (BED) is maintained by increased food-related incentive salience, which is reflected by an attentional bias for food. Oxytocin attenuates this attentional bias in patients with anorexia nervosa and reduces hedonic (i.e., mainly reward-driven) food intake in males with normal or increased body weight, but results in individuals with BED are inconclusive. We assessed the acute effect of oxytocin on the processing of food stimuli and on eating behavior in BED in a double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study. Females with BED (n = 48) and female control participants with overweight (OWC; n = 46) or normal weight (NWC; n = 40) received intranasal oxytocin after a standardized breakfast following an overnight fast; in participants with natural menstrual cycle, sessions were scheduled during consecutive luteal phases. Participants completed a food-related dot-probe task with concurrent eye tracking and a bogus taste test measuring snack intake. Dwell time bias on food stimuli as well as calorie intake were the main dependent variables. We found an increase in dwell time bias due to oxytocin compared to placebo in the BED relative to the OWC group, in which this relationship was reversed. Contrary to our hypothesis, oxytocin significantly increased hedonic food intake across groups. The latter effect was restricted to females taking hormonal contraception. These results provide support for the assumption of disorder- and, respectively, sex-specific effects of oxytocin on food-related incentive salience and hedonic food intake. They moreover suggest that sex hormones determine the acute effect of oxytocin on eating behavior in females.
Perceived Meaningfulness of Semantically Non-Congruent Stimuli Increases in Art Context
Authors: Iosifyan Marina , Wolfe Judith
Published: July 2024

The media occasionally reports instances where people mistake ordinary objects for art. This often happens in art galleries or museums and might suggest that people attribute meaning differently depending on whether the context is artistic or rooted in everyday life. In this manuscript, we investigate how people attribute meaning to seemingly nonsensical sentences and images when they believe they are made by poets or artists. We used a collection of sentences that conclude with semantically congruent and non-congruent words, and a collection of images where the object is either congruent or non-congruent with the background. We randomly assigned participants to the baseline and experimental (art) conditions, telling participants in the art condition that the sentences/images were created by artists. Studies 1 and 2 found that the art context increases the perceived meaningfulness of non-congruent sentences (“Most cats see well at court”), but not the congruent ones (“Most cats see well at night”), while Study 3 found a similar effect regarding non-congruent images (a lion in an office) and congruent images (a lion in a field). Additionally, we discuss how individual differences in aberrant salience and religiosity moderate the main effects of the art context on meaning-making. These results advance our theoretical understanding of how art contexts affect the interpretation of meaning and the importance of semantic non-congruency.
Evaluating neural tracking of rhythmic information in speech: Some caveats and challenges
Authors: Boulenger Véronique
Published: July 2024

We review evidence that theta-range neural oscillations in auditory regions track syllabic rhythm and adapt to speech rate variations. This coupling contributes to speech intelligibility, while at the same time being modulated by linguistic information. By extracting temporal regularities in the signal, motor regions also contribute to this temporal dynamic.
No Evidence for Decreased Generalization of Fear Extinction in High-Trait Anxious Individuals
Authors: Endhoven Bart , Krypotos Angelos-Miltiadis , Mertens Gaëtan , Engelhard Iris
Published: July 2024

Exposure-based therapy for anxiety disorders involves confrontations with feared but innocuous stimuli to promote inhibitory safety learning and fear extinction. Little is known about factors that may impede generalization of fear extinction memory from stimuli used during exposure therapy to similar stimuli later encountered. Trait anxiety is a vulnerability factor for developing anxiety-related disorders and is associated with deficient safety learning. In this preregistered study, we tested whether high-trait compared to low-trait anxious individuals would show less generalization of fear extinction. Intolerance of uncertainty and worry were also measured as closely related dimensions of dispositional negativity. Participants completed a fear conditioning paradigm with three phases: acquisition, extinction, and extinction generalization. Dependent measures were online threat expectancy and distress ratings. Fear acquisition and extinction were successful in both groups, and there were no group differences in extinction generalization. These results suggest that high trait anxiety does not impede generalization of fear extinction memory.
Same Crisis, Divergent Trust? Examining East-West Differences in Political Trust during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Germany
Authors: Wamsler Steffen , Zoch Gundula
Published: July 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic led to an initial increase in political trust across many countries, known as the rally-around-the-flag effect. However, our understanding of the long-term dy-namics and underlying mechanisms remains incomplete. Expanding upon previous research on the lasting impact of regime socialization, we examine the case of Germany’s division and reunification. We presume that – due to their socialist regime socialization – East Germans exhibit stronger preferences for crisis-related state intervention and, thus, demonstrate a stronger initial rally effect than West Germans. Conversely, for the pandemics’ second year, we hypothesize that the detrimental effects of containment measures, i.e., lockdowns, school and childcare closures, and short-time work, might amplify state scepticism due to disap-pointment with government action. We therefore presume a more pronounced decrease in po-litical trust in East compared to West Germany. We utilize data from the National Educational Panel Study (2017-2022, 20,587 person-years) linked to district-level information on inci-dence rates and government-imposed restriction measures. By drawing on variation in regime socialization and using a comprehensive set of control variables, we aim to disentangle our proposed theoretical mechanism from compositional East-West differences. Fixed-effects re-gression models reveal a weaker increase in political trust during the pandemic’s first year and a stronger decrease during its second year among East German respondents. This decrease is driven by younger respondents in particular, whereas older ones are characterized by increased levels of trust throughout the pandemic. Overall, our findings suggest that legacies of authori-tarian rule persist among older citizens. However, lower trust in the state and its institutions is more pronounced among younger respondents socialized during the societal and economic disruptions following reunification. Thus, our study contributes to understanding political trust during transformative crisis experiences and the role of regime socialization therein.

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic presents a challenge to ensuring optimal infant feeding practices. This study aimed to assess infant feeding practices and investigate potential factors associated with exclusive and continued breastfeeding practices during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Methods: An online survey was conducted during December 2020 – August 2021. A total of 817 Indonesian mothers aged ≥18 years old with infants aged <18 months were obtained through convenience sampling. Exclusive breastfeeding was the practice at the time of the survey among infants <6 months old; continued breastfeeding was considered when infants aged >6 months received any type of breastfeeding in the previous day. Results: Most subjects were aged 25-34 years old (81.3%), had a high education level (85.7%), with middle household income level (40.5%), and lived in Java Island (81.6%). Infants’ age and sex were comparable between younger vs. older infants and boys vs. girls, respectively. Exclusive breastfeeding was 81.3%. Continued breastfeeding was 93.4%, with 74.3% meeting the minimum acceptable diet. Breastfeeding intention (92.9%) and husband’s support for infant feeding (67.2%) were reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multivariate analyses showed that breastfeeding intention was one of the factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding [aOR=12.6; 95%CI (4.1-39.1)] and continued breastfeeding [10.9 (4.4-27.0)]. Conclusion: The study suggested that mothers’ intention to breastfeed during the COVID-19 pandemic provided affirmation of good breastfeeding experiences by allowing mothers to have more time for childcare activities and more opportunities to develop meaningful coparenting practices while staying at home.

Authors: Ramadhan Muhammad Rizky , Ginanjar Adriana Soekandar , Djuwita Efriyani
Published: July 2024

Individuals with divorced parents are at high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder, but traumatic events can help individuals to learn things and develop competencies that they did not have before, which is called Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). The purpose of this study was to obtain a description of PTG from individuals who experienced parental divorce. The approach used in this study was phenomenological qualitative. The researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with six participants who experienced parental divorce as children or adolescents. Researchers used purposive sampling method in selecting participants. The results of the study concluded that all participants experienced changes in all dimensions of PTG after their parents divorced, namely changes in interpersonal relationships, changes in spiritual development, the emergence of appreciation for life, the emergence of new opportunities/priorities, and the emergence of self-strength after parental divorce
Enhancing Socio-Economic Sustainability in South Africa: A Review of Local Municipalities in Managing Inward Migration from the Periphery to the Core
Authors: Maenetja Refilwe Erna , Kgobe France Khutso Lavhelani
Published: July 2024

This conceptual paper aims to examine the prevailing patterns of migration from local municipalities to metropolitan areas in the context of socio-economic transformations. Emphasizing the crucial role of local municipalities in addressing and mitigating migration towards urban cores, the paper underscores that the effectiveness of such efforts relies on factors like good governance, enhanced economic prospects, basic service provision, infrastructure development, and tailored skills training within the unique context of each municipality. Migration is a multifaceted phenomenon entwining economic, socio-cultural, and security dimensions. The unsustainable influx from the periphery burdens metropolitans, particularly in rural regions, challenging the mandated responsibilities. The failure of local municipalities to adequately deliver services exacerbates the strain on metropolitans already grappling with limited resources. The migration exodus from rural to urban centers often stems from pervasive socio-economic disparities, making migration a perceived solution to enhance the quality of life. Despite the advent of democracy, developmental progress in rural areas remains limited, necessitating a comprehensive approach that integrates rural development strategies with urban planning, job creation in urban areas, and the resolution of systemic issues. It is crucial to acknowledge that addressing migration requires a holistic perspective, as rural development alone may not suffice to deter migration to urban centers, given the diverse opportunities and amenities they offer. The paper advocates for a coordinated, multi-stakeholder approach involving governmental bodies, local communities, NGOs, and the private sector to achieve meaningful and sustainable results in curbing migration from local municipalities to metropolitan areas. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of achieving a more balanced and sustainable population distribution across municipalities for overall societal well-being.
Xenophobia In South Africa and the Realities of Actualizing SDG 8
Authors: Onor Kester Chuwuma
Published: July 2024

This study dwells on xenophobia and the realities of actualizing the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) eight in South Africa. It argues that since the emergence of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000, which transited to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, there has been a proliferation of literature from scholars of diverse disciplinary orientations. However, none of these studies deal with the phenomenon of xenophobia as a milestone for the attainment of the SDGs in South Africa. This paper, therefore, serves as an intervention to discuss how xenophobia affects the realization/ actualization of the UN’s SDG eight in the area under consideration. Using extant literature and the rational choice theory, it affirms that without peace and partnership with other countries, it would be very difficult for South Africa to attain the UN SDGs it envisages to achieve. To be focused and in-depth in the analysis of the phenomena under consideration the study centers exclusively on the UN SDG eight (even though there are seventeen SDGs of the UN) which hinges on decent work and economic growth. The evidence thrown up led to the major conclusion that the persistent xenophobic attacks and the resultant massive destruction of lives and businesses of foreigners, South Africa’s quest for the full-fledged realization of United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal eight would remain mere paperwork. Given the increasing prevalence of xenophobic attacks in the study area, the paper suggests, among others, the building of meaningful, lasting, and effective partnerships. This entails that xenophobia in the country will be nipped in the bud.
The Role of Investigators in Handling Hate Speech Cases by Children as Criminal Offenders (Case study of Polda Bali)
Authors: Adi Putra Komang Agus Gede , Darma I Made Wirya
Published: July 2024

The rapid progress of our time is evident in various aspects of life, including the realm of technology. This progress can have both positive and negative effects on users, especially children who are more susceptible to influence. There is a concern that when children come across news or false information in the media, they may unknowingly spread it without verifying its accuracy. Furthermore, there is a possibility that they may engage in Hate Speech without realizing that it is against the law. This raises a research question: How effective is the implementation of Restorative Justice at the investigator level through juvenile diversion in cases involving criminal Hate Speech? To answer this question, the research follows an empirical method and adopts a case-based approach with supporting facts. The research location for the study is the Bali Regional Police (Polda Bali). The research object focuses on hate speech cases involving child suspects and the effectiveness of Restorative Justice through diversion at the investigator level. Data is collected through interviews and documentary studies. In addressing the research problem, the author focuses on the theory of legal effectiveness, which emphasizes prevention rather than punishment by investigators. Investigators base their actions on Article 1 Paragraph 6 and 7 of Law Number 11 of 2012, which prioritizes Restorative Justice and diversion in handling juvenile cases. The use of Restorative Justice and diversion plays a crucial role in protecting the rights of children and preventing discrimination.
Regulation of The Use of Marijuana for Medical Purposes: A Comparison of Civil Law and Common Law Legal Systems
Authors: Kartika Arie , Azwar Tengku Keizerina Devi
Published: July 2024

This study aims to determine the Regulation of the Use of Marijuana for Medical Purposes: Comparison of Civil Law and Common Law Legal Systems. This research uses normative juridical research methods using literature studies derived from Legislation, scientific journals, books related to medical cannabis discourse and analyzed qualitatively. Regulations related to Class I Narcotics in Indonesia are regulated in Law Number 35 of 2009 and Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 30 of 2023. The use of cannabis as medicine is an urgent need. European countries are at the forefront of legalizing medical cannabis. Some European countries with a Civil Law legal system have different regulations in legalizing marijuana for medical purposes based on ownership restrictions. Meanwhile, countries with a Common Law legal system establish medical cannabis legalization policies based on the needs of patients, the quality of health provision, and the protection of patient rights. This study concludes that countries with a Common Law legal system have a pragmatic, case-based legal style that functions through logical reasoning while countries with a Civil Law legal system are more about practical implications.
Design of Election Criminal Enforcement Through A Restorative Justice Approach in Nort Sumatra
Authors: Lubis Muhammad Ansori , Syaputra Muhammad Yusrizal Adi
Published: July 2024

The large number of cases of suspected election crimes at every stage of the elections in Indonesia are not balanced with a fair law enforcement design and legal certainty. The establishment of the Integrated General Election Law Enforcement Center (Sentra Gakkumdu Pemilu) apparently did not have a significant impact in effectively prosecuting perpetrators of election crimes. This research aims to examine the design of law enforcement for election crimes and analyze the application of the concept of restorative justice as an approach to law enforcement for election crimes. The results of the research, firstly, are that the complexity of the law enforcement mechanism for election crimes causes the number of reports of election crimes submitted by the public to election supervisors to be meaningless. Second, that the current law enforcement design for election crimes still prioritizes punishment, even though law enforcement prioritizes the principle of ultimum remedium in its implementation. The absence of legal loopholes in prioritizing the concept of restorative justice in enforcing election criminal law is an obstacle for the Gakkumdu Center in enforcing election criminal law. The large number of cases of suspected election crimes that occur while the resolution time is relatively short makes it difficult for law enforcement to promote election crimes to promote justice and legal certainty. So there is a need to design technical regulations in implementing restorative justice in handling election crimes in the future.
Analysis Of Long-Term Spatially Varying Vertical Accretion Rates Within Paleo-Environments And Vulnerable Wetlands Of The MidWithin Paleo-Environments And Vulnerable Wetlands Of The MidBarataria Diversion Receiving Basin, Louisiana, USA Barataria Diversion Receiving Basin, Louisiana, USA
Authors:   , Piorkowski Michael
Published: July 2024

The Mid-Barataria Diversion basin is an interlobe basin located south of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Along with the proximal Mid-Breton Sound, these two basins are proposed locations for river sediment diversion projects to restore Louisiana’s receding wetlands and marshes. Following ratification of the Flood Control Act of 1928, anthropogenic levees were constructed along the banks of the Mississippi River to prevent flooding and to protect the state’s infrastructure. As a result, the floodplains are starved of their natural sediment replenishment and are now subject to the effects of subsidence and relative sea level rise (RSLR; total subsidence + geocentric sea level rise). The river-sediment diversion proposed by the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority has great potential to restore the subsiding wetlands, though it is crucial to be certain that the basin can support such a drastic increase in water and sediment flux. A larger, over-arching study aims to quantify the rates of differential subsidence across the Mid-Barataria Diversion basin, along with how different basin lithologies in the subsurface are affected by RSLR. The research presented here leverages previous work by Hughes (2016) and Bomer et al. (2019) by using 137Cs and 210Pb geochronology to calculate long-term (~100 year) rates of vertical accretion within targeted shallow subsurface environments (e.g. marsh, paleochannel, bay). The data are then compared to physical sediment properties to estimate marsh surface stability over this time period. It was found that no spatial trends of VARs were observed in Mid-Barataria, though VARs were greater in marsh sites than bay sites. Geochronology results provided by Drs. Liz Chamberlain & Kelly Sanks show that the St. Bernard delta complex is responsible for creating most of the underlying lithology of Mid-Barataria and more recent active delta complexes served to maintain marsh surfaces. Materials deposited since the St. Bernard delta were found to have very low density in surface marsh units and are actively converting to bay environments due to wave action on marsh edges coupled with RSLR. Direct measurements of wet and dry bulk density of surface marshes were found to be 0.54 ± 0.15 g/cm3 and 0.24 ± 0.19 g/cm3, respectively, much lower than wet bulk densities of 1.1 – 1.3 g/cm3 reported in Bomer et al. (2019). Caution should be exercised while operating the diversion as the hydraulic head gradient will be large, regardless of season, and surface marshes were found to be more susceptible to erosion and subsidence than previously thought. However, these marshes were able to survive thousands of years of natural overbank deposition in Mid-Barataria basin.
The Impact of Social Stress and Alcohol Intoxication on Cognitive Processes Among College Students with Heavy Episodic Drinking
Authors:   , Scherzer Caroline
Published: July 2024

College students with high social anxiety and heavy episodic drinking appear to consume alcohol more frequently and at greater quantities, presumably because individuals with higher trait social anxiety may be more responsive to the stress-response dampening effects of alcohol in social contexts due to appraisal disruption and activation of implicit social cognitions. However, little work has tested this hypothesis within a controlled lab-based setting. The current study tested whether the sequence of alcohol intoxication and induction of an anticipatory social stressor interacts with trait social anxiety to predict changes in anticipatory social anxiety, craving, implicit drinking identity, and implicit self-esteem. Undergraduate students with past month heavy episodic drinking (N = 51) received a moderate-to-large dosage of alcohol and instructions to prepare to make a good impression on a confederate. Sequence of alcohol administration and induction of anticipatory social stressor was manipulated between subjects. There was a significant interaction between condition and trait social anxiety on changes in implicit drinking identity, such that alcohol intoxication before induction of anticipatory anxiety (versus after) was associated with greater increases in implicit drinking identity among those with higher (but not lower) trait social anxiety. There was no significant impact of appraisal disruption on state social anxiety, craving, or implicit self-esteem. Findings shed light on the role of implicit drinking identity on heavier drinking among college students with higher levels of trait social anxiety and effects of appraisal disruption on state social anxiety, craving, implicit self-esteem, and implicit drinking identity.

Проведене дослідження показало, що в Україні запровадження й розвиток системи надання публічних адміністративних електронних послуг є цілеспрямованим керованим процесом, який відбувається водночас з процесами реформування публічного/державного управління, процесами цифровізації публічного управління й усіх сфер життєдіяльності суспільства, є нерозривно пов’язаним з ними та зумовлює трансформаційні процеси всієї системи публічного управління.
Високоякісні послуги та зручні процедури – створення умов, за яких фізичні та юридичні особи отримують високоякісні та доступні адміністративні послуги за зручними та зрозумілими процедурами, є пріоритетним напрямом реформування публічного/державного управління в Україні з метою побудови спроможної сервісної та цифрової держави, яка забезпечує захист інтересів громадян на основі європейських стандартів й досвіду; європейській інтеграції.
Нами виокремлено такі тенденції щодо надання публічних адміністративних електронних послуг в Україні: 1) 2006–2008 рр. – початок формування системи надання адміністративних послуг (надання послуг у паперовому вигляді), оцифрування документів та започатковано створення баз даних громадян; 2) 2009–2013 рр. – упорядкування сфери адміністративних послуг та поширення застосування комп’ютерних технологій того часу для формування відповідей на запити громадян, продовження створення баз даних громадян; 3) 2014–2017 рр. – створення мережі центрів надання адміністративних послуг, прийняття концепції розвитку електронного урядування (2017 р.): модернізація публічних послуг; запровадження електронних послуг, у т.ч. адміністративних; 4) з 2018 р. – розвиток мережі ЦНАП, модернізація та цифровізація публічних послуг.
Вважаємо, що сьогодні Україна потребує довгострокової Стратегії цифровізації, яка б забезпечила системний підхід щодо цифровізації публічного управління, збалансовану і безпечну цифровізацію (інформаційну безпеку), доступність послуг (онлайн та офлайн), інтегроване й комфортне отримання послуг, дотримання правових стандартів публічних послуг.
ПІДХОДИ ТА ІНСТРУМЕНТИ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЯКОСТІ НАДАННЯ ПОСЛУГ З ЦЕНТРАЛІЗОВАНОГО ВОДОПОСТАЧАННЯ ТА ВОДОВІДВЕДЕННЯ НА РЕГІОНАЛЬНОМУ РІВНІ

У статті розглянуто питання підвищення якості житлово-комунальних послуг, зокрема з централізованого водопостачання та водовідведення, яке виступає основним критерієм ефективного публічного управління галуззю та має на меті досягнення високих соціальних стандартів життєзабезпечення для кожного громадянина України.
Підвищення якості послуг з централізованого водопостачання та водовідведення можливе за рахунок ефективного публічного управління всією системою, яке спрямоване на забезпечення споживачів якісною питною водою в необхідних обсягах за допомогою комплексу спеціальних заходів. У свою чергу механізми публічного управління якістю послуг з централізованого водопостачання та водовідведення можна охарактеризувати як сукупність нормативно-правових, організаційних, інвестиційно-фінансових та інноваційних заходів, які мають забезпечувати споживачів водою у достатній кількості та високої якості. Cаме це актуалізує такі публічно-владні управлінські функції як організаційна та регулятивна зі застосуванням програмно-цільового та проєктного підходів до розвитку житлово-комунального господарства в цілому та комунальної інфраструктури зокрема.
Слід зазначити, що поняття «програмно-цільовий», зокрема у контексті методів та інструментів забезпечення ефективності певного виду діяльності, у тому числі у житлово-комунальній сфері, означає характеристику процесу реалізації цілей вищого рівня (місії/генеральної мети/стратегічних пріоритетів) через їх декомпозицію до рівня конкретних завдань (проєктів, програм), за допомогою яких можна чітко визначити обсяг необхідних ресурсів та термінів їх виконання, здійснити розподіл відповідальності, чим забезпечити ефективне та результативне управління процесами надання послуг, що реалізуються в житлово-комунальній сфері, зокрема в галузі централізованого водопостачання та водовідведення.
НОРМАТИВНО-ПРАВОВІ МЕХАНІЗМИ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ РОЗВИТКОМ ПРОФЕСІЙНОГО СПОРТУ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Маршалюк Володимир
Published: July 2024

У статті проаналізовані нормативно-правові механізми публічного управління розвитком професійного спорту в Україні. Сучасний професійний спорт суттєво відрізняється від усіх історичних форм. Він перетворився на галузь сучасного масового явища, що має суспільну цінність. Займає велике місце в системі суспільних цінностей.
Професійний спорт функціонує на засадах, що відтворюють конкретну систему соціальних цінностей. Він сприяє засвоєнню та закріпленню цих цінностей, формує один з основних їх комплексів. Тенденції, що відбуваються, суперечливі. Природні можливості людини не можуть бути реалізовані без активної, спрямовуючої участі стимулів соціального походження. Пріоритет соціального тут очевидний і полягає в управлінні розвитком природного, його своєрідного балансування у зв’язку зі змінними умовами та вимогами життя.
Дослідження практичної та теоретичної складових питання дозволяє дійти висновку у тому, що публічне управління у сфері професійного спорту потребує модернізації. Проте вдосконалення багатьох процесів не може бути лише силами державного апарату, тому необхідно звернути увагу до інститутів громадського суспільства країни. Так, на думку деяких авторів, центральне місце у цьому питанні має бути відведено Професійним спілкам (клубам) спортсменів.
На сьогоднішній день досвід публічного управління у сфері професійного спорту не можна назвати вдалим. У зв’язку з цим слід вирішити такі проблеми: знайти оптимальне поєднання саморегулювання та публічного управління у сфері професійного спорту; встановити межі публічного управління суспільних відносин у сфері професійного спорту; забезпечити ефективну та оптимальну систему фінансування молодих спортсменів, спортивних шкіл та їх розвиток; сформувати нормативно-правовий документ який би передбачав розвиток професійного спорту, наприклад Концепція розвитку та інновацій управління у сфері професійного спорту в Україні на 2024–2034 рр.
Вирішення зазначених проблем не може бути однозначним і односкладовим: з одного боку, необхідно не допустити надмірного втручання держави у справи спортивних організацій, що небезпечно і здатне зруйнувати систему правового регулювання, створену спортивними організаціями. З іншого боку, проблеми забезпечення громадського порядку, підкупу учасників спортивних заходів, застосування допінгу та корупції у спорті неможливо вирішити без допомоги держави. Відповідно держава має зрозуміти свою роль і чіткіше визначити межі своєї участі в правовому регулюванні суспільних відносин у сфері професійного спорту.

The national economy is in dire need of long-term investments. The economic stability of the state in modern conditions depends on the effective operation of banking institutions and the non-banking financial sector, and in this matter such institutions as: non-state pension funds, insurance companies, leasing institutions, etc., could provide significant assistance. In the wartime period, their role is most obvious, since the level of such macroeconomic indicators as: real GDP growth, unemployment rate, inflation rate, balance of payments depends on the development of non-bank financial intermediaries. An important feature for the formation of funds of the non-banking sector is the fact that the funds are formed, firstly, on contractual terms, and secondly, on the terms of the sale of securities. The purpose of the article is to study the activities of institutions of the non-banking financial sector, analyze their impact on the investment of industrial enterprises, and develop proposals for intensifying their participation in investment processes. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the work of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of determining the peculiarities of the functioning of enterprises of the non-banking financial sector. The information base consists of scientific, economic and reference literature, works of leading domestic and foreign scientists, methodical materials, information portals, Ukrainian periodicals. A set of methods and approaches were used: system analysis, theoretical generalization, methods of analysis and synthesis. In the article, the author states the importance of researching the theoretical and methodological foundations of the functioning of non-banking financial institutions. An analysis of the legislative framework regulating the activities of enterprises of the non-banking sector has been carried out, characteristic features inherent in each of the individual types of these institutions have been highlighted. The structure and dynamics of investments in the economy of Ukraine over the past ten years have been studied. The dynamics of the number and economic activity of enterprises of the non-banking financial sector have been analyzed. The scientific novelty consists in deepening the essence and researching the dynamics of increasing the investment potential of the non-banking financial sector, which, in contrast to existing research, emphasizes the special relevance of the development of this sector of the economy of Ukraine during the martial law and post-war reconstruction, and also takes into account the international

The formation of economic, customs, currency unions, as well as common budgeting systems by independent states can be considered as a concomitant trend of modern globalization processes. It is globalization, as well as increasing economic interdependence and a greater degree of market openness, that have led to the need for more effective management of regional financial transactions, as well as coordination among decision-making centers. The task of increasing the efficiency in the financial management of these associations can be solved due to the synergistic effect of the integration of the economies of the member states of such unions. The Economic and Monetary Union of European States is a vivid example of the result of integration processes in the field of economics and finance. Its most significant achievement is the implementation of a common monetary policy. However, important theoretical and practical problems arise both in the implementation of the budget policy and in the management of the budget processes of the Union. An unconditional factor in improving the efficiency of budget process management is the use of the resultoriented budgeting mechanism, the establishment of a clear relationship between goals, objectives, implementation tools, and indicators of expenditure effectiveness. This mechanism can be used in the practice of budgeting not only by sovereign states, but also by regional associations. The integration of the result-oriented budgeting mechanism into the budget systems of regional associations is associated with solving the problems of budget planning, coordination of participants in the process of coordinating budget decisions, execution and control. The EU's experience in managing budget processes has developed as a result of constant processes of improvement, adaptation to changing conditions, and the development of the most optimal solutions for the distribution of the Union's resources. Undoubtedly, the experience gained is unique due to the specifics of the EU from the economic, political, and institutional points of view. Nevertheless, the developed mechanisms and principles of management are of interest for a detailed study and assessment of the possibility of applying the established practices to other integration associations. Strengthening regional integration associations is a priority task for Ukraine in the framework of the implementation of the foreign policy concept. One of the main factors contributing to the integration processes is the provision of sustainable coordination mechanisms between members in the adoption and implementation of joint decisions, including within the framework of joint budget management. Consequently, strengthening and increasing the efficiency of the system of managing budget processes can contribute to achieving the task of strengthening the integration of regional associations as a whole. In this regard, the study and analysis of the

The research relevance of the complex, multi-stage process of natural regeneration of forest communities, as well as interactions and transformations, is determined by the rapidly growing challenges posed by climate change, deforestation and biodiversity loss. The study aims to assess the state and to identify the ecological and coenotic specificity of natural seed regeneration of the leading forest-forming species of the Left-Bank Polissya of Ukraine. The study was carried out using a set of methods, primarily geobotanical, population and mathematical and statistical. The process of natural recovery was studied in communities that are typical for the region and belong to 42 syntaxa in the rank of associations and 24 syntaxa in the rank of association groups. The study revealed the specifics of such forest-forming species as Pinus sylvestris L., Quercus robur L., Acer platanoides L., Betula pendula Roth., Populus tremula L., and Tilia cordata Mill. The study established that the representation of the undergrowth of the main forest-forming species in the forest plant communities of the Left-Bank Polissya of Ukraine varies quite significantly. The study described the determinants of the species composition of restoration, including the peculiarities of seed (fruit) dispersion and the adaptive potential of plants. The study determined that the condition of the understory and its population density are determined by the level of soil moisture (the highest values of understory density in most species were recorded in forests with soils moistened at the level of fresh and wet hygro-tops), and this process may intensify against the background of climate change. The results of the study can be used to develop effective strategies for forest management, biodiversity conservation and sustainable forest management in the Left Bank Polissia region, which will help improve the environmental situation and create favourable conditions for the restoration of forest ecosystems

Recent wildfire events in Ukraine caused considerable economic and human losses, drawing the attention of public opinion in Ukraine to further research the issue related to the management of the risks of forest fires, specially, in the current context of climate change and due to the growing frequency of critical fire weather conditions. Current approaches to fighting wildfires in Ukraine are focused on fire extinction, currently omitting the management of vegetation fuels and their effect on wildfire behaviour to facilitate its mitigation. Due to current wildfire risks to the population and forests, and insufficient research on this issue in Ukraine, it is needed to further develop and test new approaches to reduce wildfire risk. For that purpose, it is required a deep understanding of the fire resilience of vegetation as well as the factors that make the communities vulnerable. In this manuscript, a method for assessing and mapping the Wildland-urban interface with a focus on fire risks for part of the Ukrainian Polissya is suggested. Wildland-urban interface zones were delineated for settlements in the study area and used to identify areas for wildfire risk remediation and silvicultural practices to increase forest resilience to fire. A biodiversity analysis of the main tree species, undergrowth, and understory of the study region, produced a list of local deciduous species that could be used to reduce fire intensity by increasing their proportion in pure pine forests. The volume of silvicultural efforts to increase forest resilience to fire and reduce wildfire risks to human settlements was assessed for one of the most forested regions of Ukraine. Moreover, the first comprehensive assessment of wildlands, which can potentially contribute to wildfire impacts on communities, was provided, making recommendations to reduce wildfire risks for the settlements. In this study, feasible and effective methods to assess Wildland-Urban-Interfaces, and reduce fire risks are suggested, suggesting a methodology concerning wildfire risks for a heavily forested region of Ukraine. Moreover, the suggested approaches that could be used in Ukrainian Forest Management to mitigate wildfire risks in the context of climate change, urbanization, and low resistance of pure pine stands to fires as well as pests and diseases

Authors: Zhang Yi
Published: July 2024

This case report presents a case of tracheal obstruction following severe pancreatitis and describes the condition and airway management of an adult patient from the emergency department to the intensive care unit (ICU), from airway management to pre-operative ECMO implantation to intraoperative ECMO Weaning. Transselective venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) effectively mitigates the risks associated with tracheotomy, thereby creating a safe setting for tracheal reconstruction surgery. This case report delves into the mechanisms, characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of tracheal stenosis. Additionally, a potential association between tracheal stenosis and pancreatitis is explored. Tracheotomy supported by VV ECMO to ensure ventilation, emerges as a viable alternative.

The aim of this study; to find out the use of rattan in the Mandar Sub-watershed, Kalumammang Village, Alu District, Polewali Mandar Regency. The use of rattan as a multi-purpose plant in the Mandar Sub-Watershed of Kalumammang Village has quite a lot of potential where there are 4 types of rattan. The rattan plants most widely used for woven materials are emblem (Calamus sp) and Sega rattan (Calamus axillaris Becc.). The types of rattan crafts used by the community include baskets used as containers for transporting goods and clothing containers, these baskets are made from sega rattan. Apart from that, there is also a mattress beating craft, which is woven material made from sega rattan which is usually used to beat mattresses after drying them so they don't get dusty. The traditional use of rattan is local wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation, but there has been no research regarding the use of rattan as a craft material.

GDP Impact on the Digital Economy in European Union Countries
Authors: Machuga Roman
Published: July 2024

This article explores issues relating to the development of the digital economy in the countries of the European Union. Its aim is to assess the impact of a country’s GDP on its DESI index. In this study, the research problem involves finding answers to the following questions: 1) Why does the development of the digital economy in different EU countries show such a substantial variation? 2) Which DESI index indicators have the greatest impact on its final score? 3) Does the overall development of the domestic economy have an impact on the development of its information society? The research conducted with these goals in mind warrants the conclusion that the pace of development of the digital economy in the less developed EU countries is higher than in the leader countries. Furthermore, it has been found that the indicators within the “4 Digital public services” and “1 Human capital” dimensions have the greatest impact on the DESI index. The direct influence of GDP per capita on the DESI index has been demonstrated experimentally. In contrast, the assumption that the growth rate of GDP and the share of the ICT sector in GDP correlates with the development of the digital economy and information society has not been confirmed.
