The Impact of Parental Psychological Control on Adolescent Risky Behaviors with an Emphasis on the Mediating Role of Gratitude
Authors: Nasiri Farsi Tayebeh , Pali Samira
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of parental psychological control on adolescent risky behaviors, with an emphasis on the mediating role of gratitude.

Methods and Materials: The research utilized a descriptive-survey design, with a sample of 361 first-year high school students in Tonekabon, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Iranian Adolescent Risk-Taking Scale, the Parental Psychological Control Scale (Soenens et al., 2010), and the Gratitude Scale (Morgan et al., 2017). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the relationships between variables, using the Smart PLS software.

Findings: The results showed that parental psychological control has a significant negative impact on gratitude and a direct positive effect on adolescent risky behaviors. Gratitude was found to mediate the relationship between parental psychological control and adolescent risky behaviors, with partial mediation. Additionally, gratitude was negatively associated with risky behaviors, acting as a protective factor.

Conclusion: Parental psychological control increases the likelihood of risky behaviors in adolescents, while gratitude plays a significant mediating role in reducing this effect. Interventions focused on enhancing gratitude may help mitigate the negative influence of psychological control on adolescent behavior.

INTERNATIONAL LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OF STATES FOR THE COMMITMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMES
Authors:   Police Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan., Naghdaliyev Hikmat
Published: January 2025

The author in this article examines one of the most current issues in international law - the problem of state
responsibility arising from the commission of internationally wrongful acts and the various concepts existing in
the international legal doctrine regarding this issue. Particular importance is given to the study of the problem
of internationally wrongful acts, called international crimes, as the basis for the emergence of international legal responsibility of states. In the article, the author considers international crimes as an exclusively internationally wrongful use of force, which mean serious violations of international law and encroach on the entire
system of international peace and security. The author shows that although the category of "international
crimes" is firmly established in the doctrine of international law, this cannot be said about the category of "international crimes of states" and, accordingly, the concept of "criminal responsibility of states" arising from it.
The author examines the various opinions of representatives of various scientific schools regarding this concept
existing in the doctrine of international law. The article also analyzes a number of key provisions of the draft
articles of the UN International Law Commission on "Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful
Acts" from 2001. Along with this, the author also examines the category of "serious breaches of an obligation
arising from a peremptory norm of general international law." In conclusion, the author assesses the possibility
of applying the concept of "international crimes of states" to existing international legal realities.

I livelli essenziali delle prestazioni e dei servizi per garantire diritti civili e sociali per tutti i cittadini
Authors: Fiorentino Luigi
Published: January 2025

I Livelli Essenziali delle Prestazioni (Lep) definiscono il minimo di servizi che lo Stato deve garantire per assicurare i diritti sociali e civili su tutto il territorio nazionale, senza discriminazioni territoriali. Questa misura mira a superare il criterio della "spesa storica", favorendo una distribuzione delle risorse basata sui fabbisogni standard di ciascun territorio. I Lep sono centrali nel percorso di autonomia differenziata, che prevede il trasferimento di competenze alle regioni ordinarie, bilanciando però i divari esistenti tra nord e sud e tra aree urbane e periferiche. La loro attuazione richiede risorse adeguate, una perequazione infrastrutturale efficace e un coordinamento trasparente tra Stato, regioni ed enti locali, con l’obiettivo di garantire servizi uniformi e di qualità, favorendo anche l’attuazione del Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR).

Gentrificazione, sei così carina e bugiarda per curare la vulnerabilità?
Authors: Camerin Federico
Published: January 2025

Il testo esplora tre prospettive sulla gentrificazione e la rigenerazione urbana. Giovanni Semi, in "Breve manuale per una gentrificazione carina", utilizza un tono ironico per criticare i processi di gentrificazione, evidenziando come spesso siano mascherati da linguaggi accattivanti e superficiali. Leslie Kern, in "Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies", analizza sette storie di gentrificazione, mettendo in luce le narrazioni pericolose che ostacolano la giustizia sociale e proponendo riflessioni per un cambiamento. Infine, il volume curato da Laura Fregolent, Andrea Carolina Ardila Garcia e So Young Han, ovvero "Abitare a Venezia", presenta un’analisi del sestiere di Castello a Venezia, evidenziando le dinamiche di spopolamento e turistificazione e la necessità di una visione unitaria per la rigenerazione urbana. Questi scritti offrono una critica profonda e variegata dei processi di trasformazione urbana contemporanea.

Rinnovare la narrazione del piano con gli ambiti di programmazione: la cintura ferroviaria
Authors: Balbo Pier Paolo
Published: January 2025

La programmazione strategica per Roma si concentra sull’Ambito della cintura ferroviaria, evidenziando tre dimensioni principali: il contributo all’assetto territoriale, la vocazione specifica come cerniera tra il centro storico e la città consolidata, e la dotazione di architetture urbane emergenti. L’attuazione della cintura si basa su tre caratteristiche: l’asimmetria tra est-sud (centralità urbana lineare) e nord-ovest (porte sui parchi), la sinergia urbanistica con i tessuti insediativi circostanti, e il carattere morfogenetico con la creazione di una fascia verde. Si sottolinea l’importanza di master plan per i poli est (Tiburtina-Pietralata-Stadio) e sud (Ostiense-Trastevere-Quattroventi), e la necessità di indirizzare le grandi architetture urbane nei nodi significativi delle stazioni, garantendo la qualità degli spazi pubblici e delle piazze di stazione. Un ufficio di scopo di indirizzo progettuale è proposto per coordinare questi sforzi.
Il Parco lineare Roma est
Authors: Pallottini Roberto
Published: January 2025

Il progetto "Parco lineare Roma est, ParcoLineaRE" mira a rigenerare un’area di Roma tra la Tiburtina e la Prenestina, attualmente degradata e abbandonata. Questo territorio, lungo 15-20 km e largo 1-3 km, è attraversato da grandi infrastrutture come la Tav e l’autostrada A24, ma possiede anche importanti risorse ambientali e culturali. L’idea del parco nasce da un progetto ciclabile del 2012, che ha evidenziato la necessità di un intervento più organico e condiviso con le comunità locali. Le principali linee di azione includono la riforestazione, la mobilità ciclabile e pedonale, la valorizzazione delle aree archeologiche, la rigenerazione urbana e lo sviluppo locale sostenibile. Il progetto richiede una strategia coordinata e multisettoriale, con il coinvolgimento di cittadini, associazioni e istituzioni. La recente costituzione di una Cabina di regia e l’ufficio Clima sono passi fondamentali per la realizzazione di questa visione.

Il Contratto di fiume tra pianificazione territoriale e programmazione negoziata. L’interazione con i Piani di bacino e i Piani dei parchi
Authors: Savarese Anna
Published: January 2025

Negli anni ’90, la legislazione italiana ha introdotto i Piani di Bacino (Legge 183/1989) e i Piani dei Parchi (Legge 394/1991), strumenti che hanno superato i confini amministrativi tradizionali, promuovendo la pianificazione territoriale integrata. La Legge 183/1989 è stata abrogata e integrata nel Dlgs 152/2006. I Contratti di Fiume (CdF), introdotti successivamente, sono strumenti di programmazione strategica e negoziata, volti alla riqualificazione dei bacini idrografici e alla tutela delle risorse idriche. La Direttiva quadro sulle acque 2000/60/CE ha promosso un approccio integrato e partecipativo alla gestione delle risorse idriche. In Campania, la Legge Regionale 5/2019 ha incentivato i CdF, ma ha sollevato perplessità per il rischio di limitare l’iniziativa locale. È essenziale che i CdF integrino la pianificazione territoriale, promuovendo la funzionalità ecologica degli ecosistemi. Il Tavolo nazionale dei CdF e Legambiente continuano a sensibilizzare le comunità sull’importanza di questi strumenti per la tutela delle acque.
Attori in campo nei Contratti di fiume
Authors: Gubiotti Maurizio
Published: January 2025

L’assemblea del XII Tavolo nazionale dei Contratti di fiume, tenutasi a Napoli, ha evidenziato l’importanza delle azioni concrete messe in atto dai territori e dalle comunità attraverso i Contratti di fiume. Questi contratti rappresentano uno strumento innovativo di governance e partecipazione per migliorare la qualità e la sicurezza di fiumi, laghi e coste, superando sovrapposizioni istituzionali e lacune programmatorie. Essi promuovono una cultura della prevenzione e della sostenibilità ambientale, integrando criteri di pubblica utilità, rendimento economico e valore sociale. I Contratti di fiume mirano a migliorare la qualità degli interventi sul territorio, affrontando sfide come la resilienza delle comunità fluviali e i cambiamenti climatici. In Italia, solo il 43% dei corpi idrici fluviali è in buono stato, mentre il 41% è inferiore al buono. Anche i laghi e i corpi idrici sotterranei mostrano segni di deterioramento. I parchi naturali, spesso promotori dei Contratti di fiume, svolgono un ruolo cruciale nella gestione sostenibile del territorio, contribuendo alla conservazione della natura e allo sviluppo socio-economico.

Reforma tributária e pacto federativo
Authors: Ribeiro Marques Fernandes Tarsila , Brilhante de Souza Cristiano
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar se a reforma tributária promovida pela EC nº 132/2023, especificamente no ponto em que promove unificação de tributos, respeita o pacto federativo. Para tanto, o estudo debate a autonomia dos entes federados sob o ponto de vista da proteção que lhes é conferida pelas cláusulas pétreas previstas na Constituição e apresenta uma síntese das principais alterações trazidas pela reforma, com a devida contextualização do sistema tributário nacional na atualidade. Expõe, em seguida, críticas e preocupações acerca da EC nº 132/2023, incluindo reflexões sobre a perda de autonomia dos entes federativos e a redistribuição de receitas entre eles. Como contraponto, o estudo sustenta que a reforma pode resultar em maior eficiência e justiça fiscal. Com base em simulações realizadas a partir de dados de 2022 por pesquisadores do Ipea, identificam-se impactos significativamente positivos, como a redução das disparidades regionais e a melhoria na distribuição de recursos públicos entre os entes federados. As simulações sugerem que a redistribuição de receitas beneficiará principalmente as regiões menos desenvolvidas, promovendo maior equidade fiscal. Conclui-se que a EC nº 132/2023 não viola o pacto federativo, mas redefine a autonomia dos entes dentro de um contexto de maior justiça fiscal, podendo contribuir para o desenvolvimento econômico equilibrado e sustentável no Brasil.

This study aimed to examine the effects of basketballtraining in adolescents with intellectual disabilities ontheir basic motor abilities, speed, strength, balance, andcoordination. For this aim 70 boys (aged 16 – 19 years)who were attending one of four Special Education Centresin Zagreb and Karlovac, all classified as light or mild IDaccording to their intelligence quotient of ≤ 70, were dividedinto two groups which underwent 6 months of supervisedphysical activity program. The experimental group (EG,N=34) had three times a week one hour of special basketballtraining, while the control group (CG, N=36) had threeregular physical education classes prescribed by the planand program of the Ministry of Science and Education ofthe Republic of Croatia. Both groups were tested with abattery of 12 tests to evaluate their basic motor abilities atthe start and the end of the experiment.The final results of the study led to the conclusion thatthe size of the changes from the initial to the final stateis different for the groups that were subjected to differenttreatments. The group subjected to basketball trainingshowed a greater sensitivity to kinesiology treatment, thatis, this treatment produced a greater effect on the subjects’basic motor skills than physical education treatment.Physical education did not lead to significant changes inthe number of monitored abilities, which of course leads tothe question of the regularity of the conception, that is, thecontent and modalities of physical education.

Authors: Mudit Bhardwaj  , Shubhankit Gopichand Khamankar  , Aashutosh Sinwal  , Ishu  , Rahul Poonia  , Vishv Sagar sharma  , Vaibhav Sinwal
Published: January 2025

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) represent a heterogeneous group of rare autoimmune disorders affecting skeletal muscles. These conditions are traditionally classified into three main subtypes: polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), and inclusion body myositis (IBM). Recent advances in understanding their pathogenesis have led to the identification of new subtypes and associated autoantibodies, revolutionizing disease classification and treatment approaches. The association between genetic susceptibility, particularly HLA associations, and environmental triggers contributes significantly to disease development. Myositis-specific autoantibodies have emerged as crucial tools for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. Advanced diagnostic techniques, including muscle biopsy, imaging, and serological testing, offer enhanced clinical utility in disease identification and monitoring. Contemporary treatment strategies encompass conventional immunosuppressive therapy and novel targeted biological agents. Emerging therapies targeting specific pathways, including B-cell depletion, interferon signaling, and complement inhibition, show promising results in clinical studies. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches based on disease subtypes and biomarker profiles have become fundamental principles in managing these disorders. The integration of novel diagnostic tools and targeted therapies has significantly improved the potential for better outcomes in patients with IIM, though challenges in treatment optimization remain.
Physical Layer Security in Lossy Untrusted Relay Networks with Finite Blocklength
Authors: Qian Shen , Cheng Meng
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we examine the physical layer security (PLS) in lossy untrusted relay networks, focusing on finite blocklength transmissions. In such networks, ensuring secure communication is particularly challenging due to the presence of untrusted relay nodes and the inherent limitations of short-packet transmissions. We propose the reliable-and-secure probability (RSP) as a performance metric to evaluate the likelihood that the destination node successfully recovers the transmitted message while untrusted relays experience an outage. Two basic network topologies are taken into consideration, which are the three-node one way network and the single-source multi-untrusted-relay network without direct source-to-destination link. By optimizing power allocation and relay positioning, the RSP can be significantly improved, even when decoding errors occur at the relays. The study demonstrates that lossy decode-and-forward relaying complicates secure communication but also presents opportunities for performance enhancement through careful resource management. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategies in enhancing security, especially for applications in ultra-reliable low-latency communication and massive machine-type communication in 5G/6G networks. Future research will focus on deriving more precise closed-form expressions for RSP in finite blocklength settings and investigating machine learning-based approaches for real-time optimization of secure communications in dynamic wireless environments. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on PLS in modern wireless systems, offering insights for future advancements.

RASTREAMENTO DE LESÕES NEOPLÁSICAS EM CÓLON DIREITO POR COLONOSCOPIA: UM ESTUDO RANDOMIZADO E CONTROLADO DE COLONOSCOPIA CONVENCIONAL VERSUS CROMOSCOPIA COM ÍNDIGO CARMIM E DIGITAL
Authors: Campos Frederico Fonseca , Scocuglia Renata Luiza de Medeiros Rodrigues
Published: January 2025

The study of colorectal neoplastic lesions, particularly adenomatous ones, is relevant due to their association with colorectal carcinoma (CRC), the fourth leading cause of cancer in Brazil. Screening aims to detect premalignant lesions or early-stage cancer, reducing disease progression through endoscopic resection. This research evaluated the detection rate of colorectal neoplastic lesions in conventional colonoscopy compared to digital chromoendoscopy methods (FICE) and indigo carmine in the right colon. A total of 309 patients underwent screening between September 2017 and May 2018, divided into three randomized groups: indigo carmine, FICE, and white light. Twenty-eight patients were excluded due to criteria such as inadequate bowel preparation or a history of colorectal surgeries. The right colon (cecum, ascending colon, and hepatic flexure) was evaluated twice: initially with white light and subsequently according to the designated modality. The patients’ mean age was 55.7 years, with no significant differences between sexes. Polyp detection increased after reevaluation in all groups. The indigo carmine group showed a relative risk of detection 3.54 times higher than the FICE group and 5.19 times higher than the white light group (p<0.0001). The average examination time was highest in the indigo carmine group (22.4 minutes), followed by FICE (20.7 minutes) and white light (20.5 minutes). Of the 56 resected lesions, 45 (80.3%) were located in the ascending colon, and 28 (50%) were diagnosed as adenomas. It is concluded that chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine in the right colon provides a higher polyp detection rate, justifying its use in clinical practice despite the longer examination time required for this technique.

Published: January 2025

O tabagismo representa um importante desafio da saúde pública brasileiro, sendo os profissionais da saúde grandes aliados na prevenção. Este trabalho buscou discorrer sobre as características do uso do tabaco entre acadêmicos da área da saúde, destacando fatores associados à iniciação do hábito. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. A coleta de dados abrangeu as bases de dados eletrônicas: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e PubMed. Foram selecionados 11 artigos para compor esta revisão, abrangendo principalmente estudantes de medicina, enfermagem e fisioterapia de 10 países diferentes. Percebeu-se taxas aumentadas de tabagismo entre esses estudantes, quando comparados com a população geral. O cigarro tradicional ainda foi predominante, assim como o sexo masculino. O início do hábito se concentrou na adolescência e sofreu influência de parentes e amigos fumantes. Os Dispositivos Eletrônicos para Fumar podem servir como porta de entrada para a dependência da nicotina. Notou-se o potencial de programas de combate ao fumo nas universidades, que pode diminuí-lo ao decorrer dos anos letivos. Dessa forma, são necessários trabalhos com enfoque no panorama brasileiro, pois é importante considerar a influência regional e cultural dos países sobre o tabagismo.
A Comparison of External Loads in Division III Men's Lacrosse Between High Competition Matches and Low Competition Matches
Authors: Moore Patrick M. , Bowman Thomas G. , Jones Yasmine I. , Blair Price , Collins Sean M.
Published: January 2025

Lacrosse is an open-field, invasion sport with limited knowledge of the physiological demands of gameplay at the Division III level. This study aimed to investigate the external loads of Division III men’s lacrosse players during NCAA season games. Comparisons were made between the external loads placed on the athletes in high competition versus those placed on the athletes in low competition matches. High competition matches were defined as matches against teams that qualified for the NCAA tournament whereas low competition matches included teams that did not meet high competition requirements. The dependent variables measured included total distance, work rate, intensity, 2D load, and 3D load. Defensive players were found to have significantly higher external load values for total distance (m; p=0.003, d=1.43), work rate (m/min; p=0.006, d=1.34), 2D load (AU; p=0.039, d=1.03), and 3D load (AU; p=0.022, d=1.15), while there were no significant differences (p>0.05) for other positions between competition level. Competition level exerts a higher external load for defensive players, but not attack, midfield, or specialists (goalie, face-off).

Réalisme, ma sœur. Le réalisme et le voile obligatoire à l'époque post-Mahsa Amini
Authors: REZA AMIRI Mohammad
Published: January 2025

Cet article vise à repenser la relation entre l’idée de réalisme et la réalité du voile obligatoire en Iran, à la lumière des manifestations consécutives à la mort de Mahsa Amini. Il part du principe qu’après l’avènement de Vida Movahed et surtout avec le mouvement « Femme, vie, liberté », cette relation est devenue plus conflictuelle que jamais. En offrant un bref aperçu de l’évolution de la représentation des femmes voilées dans les œuvres de deux grands cinéastes réalistes iraniens, Abbas Kiarostami et Kianoush Ayari, nous cherchons à démontrer comment un long parcours pour faire face à la censure trouve sa victoire dans les photos prises par les manifestants de la révolution de Mahsa Amini.
“I Saw Nothing but Beauty”: Exploring the Zaynab Paradigm in Iranian Aesthetics of Protest
Authors: TROMP Kasper
Published: January 2025

This article explores an Iranian aesthetics of protest that, alternative to intervening in the public space as political agent, confers a spiritual agency that aids in recovering a sense of humanity while dehumanizing laws are upheld The artistic practices under scrutiny occur between rather than during moments of protest and offer more reflective, metaphorical accounts of the injustices of authoritarian rule. I associate this particular aesthetics with the Shiite figure Zaynab bint ‘Ali, who accused tyrants, strengthened the moral resolve of her community, commanded to accept God’s decree and recognize beauty in His works. In so doing, I challenge Hamid Dabashi’s secular-materialist view of Shiism as a religion of protest geared solely towards changing society, by demonstrating that some artists favor what I call the Zaynab Paradigm of protest aesthetics that work inwardly to inspire recovery and perseverance.
Langue vernaculaire, image universelle : De la fiction arménienne au Liban
Authors: TOKATLIAN Hratch
Published: January 2025

Les Arméniens du Liban dépassaient les cent mille habitants avant 1975, date du début des conflits armés. La communauté arménienne du Liban se retrouve en danger de disparition notamment par sa langue et le déclin démographique actuel. En 2010, l’UNESCO a répertorié l’arménien occidental sur la liste des langues en danger. La même année, le cinéaste Vatché Boulghourjian tente une aventure linguistique en tournant « La cinquième colonne », une fiction en arménien occidental. Le résultat est significatif pas uniquement dans le contexte du micro-histoire des événements mais aussi dans l’éloquence cinématographique d’une langue qui se veut souvent une langue littéraire surtout dans le paysage audiovisuel arabe du Proche-Orient.

India is a diverse nation that comprises n number of ethnic groups; each of them is enriched with their own distinctive custom, faith, language, and worshiping method. Since unity in diversity is supposed to be the strength of India, exercising a common education pattern for the entire nation will dilute the concept of diversity and it, to a certain extent, will fall under a single umbrella of identity. To preserve the strength of India, culture-based education is necessary. Due to the advancement of technology and Western influences, even some Indians also cut themselves off gradually from their root. In this regard, tribal culture and practices are needed to be conserved. When the tribes get introduced to a new environment, culture, practice, and language, they may happen to think that their culture and legacy are lower than that of what they get newly introduced to. It could vividly be witnessed through the act of conversion of tribes into other religions and the change in their living pattern. Along with making tribes aware of the outer world and technology through education, it is also essential to make them stick with their root. Hence, incorporating culture-oriented studies in the tribe’s education is mandatory.

Opportunities to engage in name, image, and likeness (NIL) partnerships have pervaded college athletics on numerous fronts. To contextualize the most important factors contributing to a college athletes’ NIL value, the present study analyzed High-Major basketball players NIL valuations during the 2023-2024 season. In total, data representing 69% of High-Major men’s basketball players (n = 572) and 52% of High-Major women’s basketball players (n = 429) was collected. Attempting to statistically control for factors such as institutional prestige, media exposure, and athletic performance, results indicate that an athlete’s social media following – specifically their Instagram following – is the most determinant factor contributing to their NIL valuation. While athletes, athletic administrators, and media pundits alike have suggested NIL may exist as antithetical to the fundamental nature of Title IX, the findings of this study indicate that sociocultural factors pertaining to social media users’ follow intentions may put women’s sport college athletes at a distinct advantage in potentially marketing their NIL.
