Challenges and Changes in Military and Defense Policy of Romania after the Outbreak of War in Ukraine
Authors:   University of Warsaw (Poland), Gardocki Sylwester
Published: February 2024

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Romania faced the imminent threat of an escalation of the armed conflict. The geographical proximity of military operations caused this, as the Black Sea location and the self-proclaimed republic of Transnistria located in neighboring Moldova. For this reason, Romania, like other European countries, faced the consequences of the outbreak of war and met economic, political, and military challenges. After the outbreak of war, the Romanian government had to take appropriate steps to help Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees who crossed the border into Romania. Although Romania adopted a distant attitude towards Ukraine, it did not block any aid projects and acted following NATO’s strategic actions. The outbreak of war in Ukraine contributed to rapid changes in the scope of the Romanian army. Several decisions were made to purchase new equipment and strengthen the armed forces.

The perception of misinformation by young students from a Brazilian sociocultural context: reflections and clues for media education
Authors: Ongaro Viviane , Fantin Monica , Alves dos Santos José Douglas
Published: February 2024

Based on a doctoral study developed in the Brazilian sociocultural context, the article reflects on the perception of misinformation among young students from public and private schools. In a society permeated by the digital world in the broader context of socio-materiality, the complexity of the terms Misinformation, Fake News, and Post-truth shows the difficulty of understanding true and false nowadays. In the capitalism of data, algorithms, control, and vigilance, misinformation is an increasingly discussed theme in digital culture due to the problems created in the political, economic, social, cultural, and political spheres. The implications of this phenomenon reverberate throughout the educational ecosystem, the teaching-learning interactions and relations in the school, and other informal and non-formal educational spaces. Grounded on the dialogue between cultural studies, media-education, and youth cultures, we seek to identify young students' perceptions of misinformation to create a formative path in the media-education perspective. The qualitative and exploratory research involved an empirical dimension conducted with young students from 14 to 21 years old in Curitiba and Colombo in Paraná, Brazil. We traced the group's profile through the European Framework for Digital competencies during workshops on media education, aiming to identify and reflect on how young students receive, understand, analyze, check, and share information. The workshop analyses suggested clues to build media competencies in the youth culture contexts and how schools can/should develop a work in the perspective of media education to build a better understanding of oneself, the other, and the world, producing and sharing messages and information with more responsibility in the perspectives of citizenship and belonging.

The algorithm of effective communication ties between HR departments of industrial companies and the university
Authors: Sysoeva E. A. , Maltseva I. F.
Published: February 2024

Human resources are one of the basic factors of production. At present, this factor is becoming scarce, and employers are facing much tougher competition for high quality human resources. That entails growing demands modern graduates make regarding their workplace. The authors have analyzed the dynamics of the unemployment rate and made a conclusion about the absence of labor-surplus regions in Russia. Under these conditions employers need to establish system interaction with the university. The authors point out that close communication should be initiated in the first years of training because the majority of the students start working during their studies at the educational institution. Two basic models of organization of the graduate employment have been studied. The first model is a model according to which the functions of organizing internship and employment are merged into a single structure; the second one is a model where the function of organizing internship is assigned to the training department/division while the employment function is the task of a separate structural division. On the basis of the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each suggested model the authors have made a conclusion that the first model if the most effective as it contributes to the creation of a single point of entry and communication with the university. A problematic issue in graduate employment is the gap in understanding the requirements of the graduate to the employer and those of the employer to the future specialist. The authors put forward a hypothesis that one of the effective ways of solving the stated problem may be a special algorithm of work of the employees of the Career Centre with the representatives of HR departments, heads of educational and industrial practices. The main stages of the algorithms have been identified: conducting a design and analytical session; the introduction of dual training as an effective tool for building the interaction between Career Centres and HR departments; developing programs of interaction with employers depending on the category, formation of a pool of ambassadors of interested parties. Implementation of the algorithm presented in the article will contribute to the development of a single approach of interaction with employers and will ensure more effective employment of graduates.
Changing the balance of forces in the supplier-consumer pair
Authors: Pleshchenko V. I.
Published: February 2024

Building long-term and mutually beneficial relationships between suppliers and consumers is one of the important issues considered when studying the commercial activities of industrial enterprises and, in particular, the procurement process of goods, works, services which are necessary for the smooth and rhythmic functioning of production complexes.

The article provides a classification analysis of the relationship between the parties in the “supplier-consumer” pair from the standpoint of assessing their business activity and bargaining power, four main groups are identified and characterized by signs: active, passive, strong, weak.

Further, the main elements of the new market reality for suppliers and consumers, formed under the influence of the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic and the sanctions imposed on Russia, are analyzed. As an important effect of the events taking place, the strengthening of the bargaining power of suppliers, the increase in the degree of their influence on the price conjuncture of commodity markets was noted. Based on a functional analogy (a linear function is used in the consideration), it is shown how suppliers shift their noticeably increased costs to buyers, who, in turn, due to inertia, are not immediately ready to accept the new realities. The search for alternative options to meet the needs is currently much more difficult. All this leads to a delay in the negotiation process, lengthening the deadlines for the implementation of projects, reducing the efficiency of production and economic activities. The solution of emerging problems cannot be fast, requires intensive communication with potential suppliers from friendly and neutral countries, as well as active involvement of industrial consumers in import substitution processes.
Characteristics of the State of Crimes in Russian Foreign Economic Activities After the Adoption of Special Economic Measures
Authors: Chuck Arthur
Published: February 2024

Currently, foreign trade-related crimes do not only pose a serious threat to the economic and national security of the Russian Federation, but are a considerable obstacle for the international cooperation of the country. Such crimes create conditions for widening the scale of the shadow economy, and contribute to practically all negative trends in the law enforcement sphere of the country. The author analyzes the indices related to the law enforcement work of the customs departments. The latter are immediate participants of customs operation and combat crimes in the sphere of foreign trade within their jurisdiction. In the current geopolitical situation, the Russian Federation used the defense mechanism connected with the application of special economic measures. The author believes that this practice to some degree provoked the criminals to come up with new ways and means of bypassing existing prohibitions and limitations. In the last decade there has been an increase in the number of crimes connected with the smuggling of timber, currency operations with forged documentation, unlawful establishment of a juridical person and unlawful use of documentation to establish a juridical person. Besides, over this period the customs departments have not been able to reduce the number of crimes involving smuggling of cash, alcohol and tobacco, evasion of customs payments and certain duties to any significant extent. The author links this situation to the increase in foreign trade-related crimes committed with the aid of some corrupt officials from the state bodies, as well as the «grey» customs system. It is concluded that the state should continue to improve its law enforcement work in the sphere of foreign trade and economy while taking into consideration the current special economic measures in order to ensure a more efficient counteraction to foreign trade crimes.
Protection of Citizens' Electoral Rights: The Problem of the Proportionality of Criminal Sanctions
Authors: Minnikes Ilia , Minnikes Irina
Published: February 2024

This article is a criminal law axiological study of the protection of electoral rights of citizens of the Russian Federation in modern conditions. The object and subject of research were determined on the basis of the analysis of current Russian legislation. The immediate object of the study are the Articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation determining liability for obstructing the exercise of electoral rights or the work of electoral commissions; for violating the procedure of financing a candidate’s electoral campaign, electoral union, work of an initiative group conducting a referendum, or another group of referendum participants; for falsifying electoral documentation, documentation of a referendum, documentation of an All-Russian vote; for falsifying the vote’s results; for unlawful provision and obtaining of an electoral bulletin, bulletin for voting at a referendum, bulletin for an All-Russian vote. The main methodological instrument of the study is the «protection index» introduced into scientific discourse by representatives of the Ural Law School. In recent years the «protection index» has become widespread both in the general theory of law and in different branches of law, including criminal law. The use of this index lies behind an attempt to show the proportionality of sanctions for crimes against the electoral rights of citizens. The current article determines the methodology of the study, its goals and tasks. The authors suggest supplementing the existing methods with a new electoral protection index, which will allow them to better present the specific features of the subject under research. The diversity of criminal law sanctions for electoral crimes makes the research objectives considerably harder to achieve, but, at the same time, renders them more relevant and valuable from the practical viewpoint because the proportionality of sanctions is a problem not only of the theory of criminal law, but also the practice of determining punishments in criminal cases. Besides, the criminal law norm sanction is viewed not only as an element of the law norm, but also as a part of the criminal law regulation mechanism. The suggested method makes it possible to illustrate the proportionality of the sanctions for electoral crimes in criminal law norms and to formulate suggestions on improving the current legislation.

Authors: Aznar-Crespo Pablo , Aledo Antonio , Ortiz Guadalupe , Tur-Vives Josep
Published: February 2024

Warning systems are essential for managing flood events and reducing human and material damage. However, the lack of protocols for the standardized development of warning messages is a challenge in emergency communication. Although emergency agencies dispose of basic messages, they lack protocols for creating and structuring content and classifying it according to different typologies. This paper proposes a methodology to create a library of flood risk warning messages. We describe the process of creating a library commissioned by the emergency services of the Valencian Community (Spain). The article provides a step-by-step guidance for identifying emergency areas, writing messages in a standardized way, and structuring the contents of the library in a systematic and operational manner. Message libraries are a strategic resource to enhance warning systems in the current context of climate change.
El abastecimiento de agua en una ciudad industrial: Bilbao (España), 1877-1936
Authors: Larrinaga Rodríguez Carlos
Published: February 2024

El abastecimiento de agua ha sido históricamente uno de los servicios públicos urbanos más críticos desde la Antigüedad, ya que una ciudad sin suministro de agua potable resulta inviable. Con el desarrollo de la industrialización, hubo localidades que crecieron mucho, tanto urbanística como demográficamente, por lo que la provisión de agua supuso en muchos casos un problema de envergadura. Este artículo analiza, precisamente, uno de estos casos, Bilbao, que experimentó un crecimiento inusitado desde finales del siglo XIX. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cómo se conformó un Sistema Moderno de Agua Potable con una población en constante crecimiento y con unos recursos limitados. Con este objetivo, la metodología empleada ha sido un análisis de la situación basado en los siguientes ejes: el fuerte crecimiento poblacional, cómo se pasó de una oferta natural a una oferta producible y cómo actuó la administración para solucionar el problema.

Vibration loading of booms ofaself-propelled sprayer with ultra-low pressure tires
Authors: Pryadkin Vladimir I. , Kolyadin Pavel A.
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: The results of experimental studies of the vibration loading of booms of a self-propelled sprayer equipped with the Bel-79 1020x420-18 ultra-low pressure tires when driving through single artificial bumps are given in the paper. Based on the results of the tests, the dependences of maximal vertical accelerations of the booms suspension on motion velocity at various tire pressure and levels of filling the sprayer tank with process liquid were obtained. It has been found that with a decrease in level of filling of the tank with process liquid and an increase in motion velocity, the oscillations level of the sprayer booms increases proportionally relative to the full filling. When the self-propelled sprayer moves through artificial bumps with the booms opened in the operating position, located at a height of 700 mm above the ground surface, the oscillation amplitude at the ends of the booms did not exceed 80 mm in the entire velocity range from 3 m/s to 12 m/s.
AIM: Experimental evaluation of influence of operational parameters of a mobile power unit (MPU) equipped with ultra-low pressure tires on the vibration loading of sprayer booms.
METHODS: Methods of laboratory and field research on moving of a mobile power tool equipped with a boom sprayer through artificial bumps are given. The maximal vertical accelerations on the sprayer booms were determined using the ASSISTANT TOTAL instrument facility consisting of a measuring unit with a vibration analyzer and the AR38R vibration transducer.
RESULTS: The dependences of the influence of air pressure in ultra-low pressure tires and motion velocity of the MES-600 on the oscillations level of the sprayer booms when moving through single artificial bumps are obtained. The minimal oscillations level on the booms at various tire pressure and various degrees of tank filling is reached at a velocity of the MPU of 9 m/s. The most vibration-loaded for sprayer booms mode is moving with empty tank.
CONCLUSIONS: The minimal oscillations level of the sprayer booms takes place in the velocity range of 7.5–10.5 m/s. When tire pressure is reduced from 80 kPa to 20 kPa, the vibration loading of the booms is decreased by 2.8 times. An increase in vibration loading takes place in the range of filling level of the sprayer tank from 50% down to being empty. When moving along single bumps in the velocity range from 3 m/s to 12 m/s, the sprayer booms were stable in a horizontal position, any intense vibrations and resonant modes of boom sections were not observed
Study of water heating efficiency in cavitation mode at the initial stage of grain molasses preparation
Authors: Nechaev Vladimir N. , Aleshkin Alexey V. , Savinykh Peter A.
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Grain molasses is a valuable source of digestible protein and feed sugar for farm animals. At the initial stage of production of this feed mixture, the existing devices and water heating schemes are not effective enough. Therefore, a new passive-type device for accelerated heating of water has been developed.
AIM: Evaluation of efficiency of a cavitator for heating water at the grain molasses production plant.
METHODS: In order to conduct studies, a cavitator made in the form of a cone with vanes, the apex angle of which is 16°8ʹ, is installed in a glass pipe of the injection branch of the water circuit of the plant for the preparation of grain molasses. During the experiments, the vanes were installed in the pipe straight or bent by 15°. In laboratory conditions, a comparative experiment was carried out to heat water with a volume of 50 liters, starting from its temperature of 20°C and through each degree to 30°C, both with and without the cavitator. The process efficiency criteria were: time and specific energy consumption of water heating.
RESULTS: As a result of the conducted studies, the values of the efficiency criteria for the water heating process with and without the cavitator are found. Linear dependence of water temperature on heating time is obtained. It has been shown that the created cavitation effect behind the base of the cone is not stable, but still more intense behind the cone with straight petals. It is noted that the coefficient of hydraulic resistance for the cavitator with vanes bent by 15 ° is 10% greater than with straight ones.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of a cavitator when heating water at the initial stage of preparing grain molasses increases efficiency of the process by 20%.

Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Structurization and selection of a compromise solution from a multiple number of contradictory criteria facilitates the decision-maker (DM) to determine the design characteristics and output impacts related to them at the design stage.
AIM: Determination of the most significant criteria for solving the optimization problem using the software and hardware system of multi-criteria optimization in terms of the efficiency of the MPU fleet for the selection of a compromise decision by the decision-maker.
METHODS: The analysis is based on the collection of scientific papers, scientific articles and other information sources on RD works on the creation of intelligent transport-technical units and on the improvement of methodology and software of multi-criteria optimization analysis of efficiency of the MPU fleet. In addition, methods of scientific generalization and statistical processing of available information and analytical materials from domestic and foreign sources were used.
RESULTS: As a result of the analysis, the most preferable criteria of the MPU fleet optimization were chosen, the list of variable parameters for further solution of the optimization problem was formed.
CONCLUSIONS: The practical value lies in determining the main criteria for optimization of the MPU fleet in order to perform subsequent optimization analysis.
The Earthquake Fatality Load: A Measure of Impact
Authors: Wyss Max , Speiser Michel , Tolis Stavros
Published: February 2024

A key measure of the earthquake problem in a country is the ratio of fatalities to population size. We propose that the new parameter earthquake fatality load per year objectively measures the level of the population suffering in seismically active countries, that is, it indicates the average annual cost in lives. We present a list of this new parameter for 35 seismically important countries with adequate data for this estimate. Among these countries, Ecuador, Lebanon, Haiti, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Portugal have experienced the greatest loads during the last five centuries. The earthquake fatality load decreases significantly as a function of time in the 18 countries with enough data for analysis. Major factors causing this may be improved resistance to shaking by the built environment, and migration of the rural population leaving weak buildings and occupying stronger ones in large cities.
Moving towards a successful medical-psycho-pedagogical centre: Analytical study of management aspects
Authors: Kasmi A. , Touri B. , Khennou K. , Baba H.
Published: February 2024

Introduction. Today, the concept of management has become increasingly complex. Many medical-social organisations now help to understand this complexity, enabling managers to support executives throughout their medical-social work.

Aim. The aim of the present research is to explore the correlations between managerial aspects in medico-social organisations in order to understand their links and identify avenues for improvement to increase operational efficiency and quality of care.

Methodology and research methods. The authors employed a quantitative approach, based on a correlational study rather than an experimental one. The sample consisted of 100 Medical-Psycho-Pedagogical Centres (CMPP) in the Ile-de-France region, France. To collect the information, the directors of these centres were invited to fill in the questionnaire sent by the Google Forms platform, via the e-mail addresses of each centre. The results were processed with IBM SPSS 29.

Results and scientific novelty. The results showed that there were statistically significant correlations between the managerial criteria of a high and significant percentage. There was a very high level of significance between the aspects “Structure and team management” and “Patient data management” (98%), and between the aspects “Quality and safety of care” and “Structure and team management” (91%). As for “Inter-professional cooperation” and “Quality and safety of care” aspects, this was significant at 70%. Finally, the aspects “Accessibility and continuity of care”, and “Continuing education” correlate significantly at 85%.

In sum, the findings demonstrate that, out of the 22 correlations that were computed, 20 relationships are significant (i.e. 90.90% of the relationships), attesting to the superior management structure of French centres.

Practical significance. The contribution of the present study consists in identifying the dimensions of managerial aspects described in the review of management literature. Of course, the purpose of this work is not to justify one style or to privilege one style over another, but to contribute to the explanation of the reality of the management of health, social and medico-social establishments and to take them as a system to be followed in the management of CMPPs in Morocco.

A69: Data Visualization of Core Literacy of Physical Education
Authors: Xiao Ling , Li Feifei , Yuan Wenxue
Published: February 2024

Purpose: Physical education (PE) in colleges and universities in the new era focuses on mastering smart PE technology, deepening the connotation of big data education, and cultivating and achieving disciplinary core literacy. The paper designs a monitoring plan based on three key aspects of core literacy, namely, athletic capabilities, health-related actions, and PE morality. It aims at strengthening the value of AI-powered methods in core literacy cultivation, providing more teaching methods to traditional PE classroom teaching, and promoting students’ core literacy. Methods: The paper selects 105 college students from 5 classes who voluntarily take part in the research. It also carries out a 10-week teaching practice, during which students are assigned with homework supported by AI sports software for 33 times and conducts both single-item and general data analysis over 7 items of physical fitness training, 1 competition, and students’ behavior. All the data is provided by the AI software as an auxiliary part to PE and art courses. Results: In the single-item analysis of the physical fitness data comprised of 7 items and 48 times of completion, the final grade of 42 items and times of completion is higher than those of the first-time grade, accounting for 87.5%. There is a substantial increase of the grade of balancing, displacement, and sensitivity-related items, and the maximal fluctuation goes to the grade of coordination items. Besides, single-foot standing (a kind of balancing item), two-person Tetris (a kind of displacement and sensitivity-related item), and dancing (a kind of coordination) are the most popular. As to the general data, the highest degree of class-level participation reaches 84.2%, the lowest degree reaches 68.1%, and the degree of completion, however, is unsatisfactory. There is a substantial fluctuation in the 33 times of completion, showing both rising trend and downtrend to some degree. Besides, most students complete their homework from 21:00 to 3:00 of the next day, accounting for 32.9%, and the general degree of participation of online competition reaches 39.1%. Conclusion: The AI sports software improves the level of physical fitness, a part of athletic capabilities, but needs improvement in strengthening the awareness, habits, and management of individual health of health-related actions, and the ability of keeping forging ahead and going beyond oneself of PE morality.
A84: Factors Influencing Parents' Intention to Involve Autistic Preschoolers in Outdoor Physical Activities
Authors: Yang Hongchang , Zhang Xiaoxia
Published: February 2024

Purpose: Outdoor physical activities (OPA) can not only improve the physical fitness and health of autistic preschool children, but also provide an indispensable opportunity for their social learning and interaction. However, parents’ intentions of providing OPA for their autistic children are complex due to reasons such as potential risk. Theory of Planned Behavior（TPB）has conceptualized that attitude (AT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) are influential factors of behavioral intention. Perceived risk and perceived usefulness are suggested to associate with one’s intention, therefore, the purpose of this study was to test an extended TPB model on parent’s intention of providing OPA among parents of autistic children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A convenient sample of parents of 301 autistic preschoolers (mean age = 3.45±1.10 years old; boys=219; girls = 68) were recruited. Parents reported to questionnaires assessing their AT, SN, PBC, and intention (Ajzen, 1991; Yang, 2017) as well as perceived risk and perceived usefulness of providing OPA for their autistic children (Davis et al., 1989; Yu, 2016). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS software was employed to investigate the extended TPB model by including perceived risk and perceived usefulness (exogenous variables) with AT, SN, PBC to synergistically predict intention (endogenous variable). Results: The results revealed that autistic preschooler parents’ perceived usefulness (p < 0.01, f2= 0.087）had a significant and positive prediction on intention in addition to the significant contributions from AT (p < 0.01, f2=0.053), SN (p < 0.01, f2=0.047), and PBC (p < 0.01, f2=0.060). However, perceived risk (p < 0.01, f2= 0.070) had a significant and negative prediction on intention. Besides, perceived usefulness (p < 0.01, f2= 0.108) was positively correlated with AT and AT partially mediated the association between perceived usefulness and intention (Variance Accounted For= 23.2%). In general, perceived usefulness, PBC, AT, SN and perceived risk had a high explanatory power to intention (R2=0.536). Conclusion: The extended TPB model demonstrated to be a useful framework to explain autistic preschooler parents’ intention of providing OPA for their autistic children. Perceived risk and perceived usefulness are critical to parents’ intention in addition to PBC, AT and SN, which should also be the targets of intervention in practice. This finding also suggests practitioners may help parents’ understand the usefulness of OPA to help autistic preschoolers’ parents form positive attitude of OPA, then boosting their intention to engage their autistic children in OPA.
A89: Experimental Study on Effects of ‘Micro-Exercise’ on Pupils' Attention and Performance
Authors: Jiang Wei , Lei Fenghui , Huang Jieyi
Published: February 2024

Purpose: Extended periods of desk-based study in schools often result in diminished attention and reduced learning efficiency among students. This study aims to investigate exercise methods and implementation approaches that can enhance the attention and academic performance of primary school students. Methods: This study randomly selected 90 students（44 in the experimental group and 46 in the control group）from two classes of Grade 3 in Shenxhen Yantian Foreign Language primary School Donghe Branch. The students from the experimental group received two rounds of 12-week 10 minutes of micro-exercise every day. The attention index (D2) and the academic performance (Chinese, Math, and English) of the experimental group and the control group before and after the experiment were compared and analyzed. Results: Before the experiment, there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. After the experiment, there was a significant difference in the attention index between the experimental group and the control group (tTN=7.274, PTN < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between students' math performance and attention index of the experimental group before and after the experiment (rE1=-0.413, PE1= 0.005 < 0.01; rE2=-0.423, PE2=0.003 < 0.01). Conclusion: The current research indicates that incorporating ten minutes of micro-exercise between classes can activate students' attention systems, enhance attention processing speed, and elevate overall attention levels. Consistent implementation of micro-exercises during breaks has been found to enhance students' computational skills, logical thinking, and other cognitive abilities, leading to improvements in their academic performance, particularly in math. The sustained use of micro-exercises between classes emerges as an effective strategy for cultivating students' attention levels and boosting academic performance.
A109: A Study of the Relationship Between Exercise Adherence and Depression
Authors: Chen Yujue , Lei Junrong
Published: February 2024

Purpose: As the social economy rapidly advances, and competition intensifies, university students are
confronted with both increased opportunities and significant psychological pressures. Notably, the incidence of depression
is on the rise, with approximately 20.3% of university students in China experiencing certain psychological issues. Against
this backdrop, this study seeks to explore the interplay between exercise motivation, exercise adherence, and depression
among university students. Methods: A cohort of 25 subclinical individuals experiencing psychological
issues related to depression was chosen to partake in a 2-month exercise intervention study. The intervention involved
Salsa dance, with a frequency of approximately 2 hours twice a week. Prior to the initiation and subsequent to the
conclusion of the intervention, participants' exercise motivation and depression scores were assessed using the
Motivation to Exercise Scale and the Flow Centre Depression Scale, respectively. A repeated measures ANOVA was used
to examine the effect of exercise intervention, exercise motivation on depression. Results: The
ANOVA results showed a significant main effect of the exercise intervention [F(1,23)=153.59, p < 0.001]. The main effect
of motor motivation was significant [F(1,23)=66.80, p < 0.001]. There was a significant interaction between
exercise intervention and motivation to exercise on depression scores [F(1,23)=45.84, p < 0.001], suggesting that the
effect of the exercise intervention on depression changed with changes in motivation to exercise. For the change in mean
brain alpha wave frequency after the exercise intervention between subjects with different exercise motivation,
the repeated ANOVA showed a significant main effect of the exercise intervention [F(1,8)=106.91, p < 0.001]. Significant
main effects of the exercise intervention [F(1,8)=106.91, p < 0.001] and motor motivation [F(1, 8) = 17.13, p < 0.001] were
found. Significant interaction between exercise intervention and exercise motivation on alpha wave mean frequency
[F(1,8)=8.73, p=0.027] were also found. It was suggested that the effect of exercise intervention on the mean frequency
of alpha waves varied with exercise motivation. Conclusion: The results indicated a connection between
exercise adherence and depression. Physical activity, serving as a non-impairing behavioral strategy, can offer an
alternative or complementary intervention for the treatment of depression. This positions exercise intervention therapy
as a promising approach for effectively addressing depression with minimal risk. The findings in this paper are valuable
in guiding new directions for the treatment of depression.
A28: Biomechanical Analysis and Research in Rugby Speed Training
Authors: Ren Li
Published: February 2024

Purpose: Speed training is an essential and important part of rugby. Usually in confrontational events, strength will have a powerful effect, but good speed will be more than that plus works. Rugby speed drills can be complex or simple things that coaches choose. To the best of the speed required depends on the position, but every player on the field can be trained to get faster. Methods: Through the literature method, logic analysis and other related analysis of sports biomechanics of speed training in football, in order to provide some theoretical basis and reasonable suggestions for speed training, to improve the efficiency of speed training in football to make a contribution. Result: One of the most common scenes in football is when players speed up and slow down over and over again. Acceleration on the field can take many forms. Acceleration relies more on the quads and running at top speed relies more on the hamstrings and hip flexors. Acceleration depends on the strength of the buttocks, quadriceps, calves, and upper body (especially the anterior deltoid tract). Absolute strength, relative strength and running technique are also important. The process of deceleration is accomplished through centrifugal contraction of the legs, which creates the muscle elasticity to counter and mitigate impact and is a key element in the ability of athletes to perform rapid deceleration. To cushion such an impact, explosive force is absolutely essential, and the knee and hip joints also require a certain amount of flexion to effectively cushion the impact, a movement similar to the landing technique. But in actual speed training situations, a different scenario can occur, and many coaches directly relate disadvantage factors. Conclusion: First, speed training programs must be designed to meet the bioenergetic and biomechanical requirements encountered by athletes during competition and practice. Each position on the field needs to differentiate the composition of the training load to meet the different requirements that these players must meet during the game. Secondly, we should closely monitor the amount and time of speed training according to the actual situation and focus on the recovery of the body. Coaches should avoid the urge to rush, as athletes may practice incorrect sports biomechanics when they are tired. Finally, the coach should analyze the limiting factors of the disadvantageous elements, train the limiting factors of plasticity, and finally achieve the goal of improving the disadvantageous elements.

Authors: Farhan Muhammad , Ramazana Ramazana
Published: February 2024

The present research is descriptive qualitative research that examines tawajjuh as one part of Sufism developed by Tarikat Naqsyabandiah from Aceh. The data in this research was obtained from interviews with people who have practised tawajjuh and students who live in Islamic educational institutions (dayah) that implement tawajjuh values and related studies in various journals, books and scientific studies. Tawajjuh is a series of spiritual activities to lead the counselee (jama'ah) to always be mindful of God through a direct relationship with a mentor face-to-face in one assembly by reciting several dhikr as a form of worship. This research aims to develop Tawajjuh as an Islamic therapeutic approach, promoting integrated and fostered subjective well-being. Based on the study, tawajjuh can increase subjective well-being in an exemplary manner. The study found a series of stages of tawajjuh as an Islamic therapy to foster positive subjective well-being.

Anaemia in pregnancy is a public health problem in developing countries. An observational study of anaemic pregnant women was carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1st December 2015 to 30th may 2017, to determine the effects of maternal anaemia on the newborn babies according to the severity of anaemia.

314 pregnant women with anaemia were included in this study. Parameters studied were haemoglobin levels, neonatal birth weight, APGAR score, NICU admission and cord blood haemoglobin. Severity of anaemia is determined by additional cutoffs, with severe anaemia defined as a haemoglobin level of less than 7.0g/dl.

Statistics 16.0 software was used.

Out of 314 patients, 24 patients (7.6%), 39 patients (12.4%), 251 patients(79.9%) were in severe, moderate, and mild category respectively. Mean haemoglobin levels in present study was 8.65gm/dl. 219 newborns (69.7%) were low birth weight out of which 100% babies born to severely anaemic mothers were LBW which shows that with increase in severity of anaemia, birth weight decreases which is statistically significant. 91.7% babies born to severe category had less than 7 APGAR score. 91.7% newborn in severe anaemia were admitted to NICU. 87.5% babies born to severely anaemic women had neonatal anaemia.

Anaemia during pregnancy and its management remains an important issue in perinatal medication. Correct diagnosis and treatment lead to effective management of fetal and maternal risks and improved perinatal outcome.

Fractures of the patella contribute almost 1% of all skeletal injuries. We report a case of an 8 cms gap non-union patella fracture in a patient and single staged surgery with functional outcome.

A 45 year female patient came with complaints of instability and defect in his right knee since 3 years. On examination we found that gap nonunion of fracture patella. Patellar fracture was approached by anterior approach. V-Y quadriceps-plasty was done to mobilize the proximal fragment. Fracture was fixed with tension band wiring fixation with k- wires. Quadriceps and retinaculum were repaired. Postoperatively physiotherapy was started and follow up of patient was done at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Improvement of knee range of movement was noticed in follow-up period.

V-Yquadriceps-plasty with TBW and encirclage gives good functional outcome in gap non-union patella fractures.
Анализ некоторых проблемных аспектов уголовно-правовой охраны чести и достоинства личности в РФ
Authors: Борбот А.А.
Published: February 2024

Российская Федерация является правовым государством и потому высшей ценностью являются права и свободы человека и гражданина. В современных реалиях жизни преступления против чести, достоинства и репутации личности все еще составляют серьезную угрозу для личности, несмотря на серьезные достижения в области обеспечения их уголовно-правовой охраны за последние годы. Честь и достоинство личности охраняются разными правовыми способами, в том числе и уголовно-правовыми. До недавнего времени Уголовный закон предусматривал ряд составов преступлений, непосредственным объектом которых выступали честь, достоинство и репутация человека, однако затем вносились постоянные изменения, что не могло не вызвать некоторые сложности как в правоприменительной практики, так и в области теоретических разработок. Актуальность работы состоит еще и в том, что в условиях существования и развития информационного общества, необходимости обеспечения всеобъемлющей безопасности личности, государством предпринимаются ряд мер по модернизации законодательной базы, которые не всегда находят полную поддержку среди теоретиков и практиков уголовного права. Основная цель исследования – поверхностно очертить круг некоторых основных актуальных проблемных аспектов уголовно-правовой охраны чести и достоинства личности в РФ, а так же сделать выводы о возможных способах их решения, и тенденциях развития в целом.
