Romanians' insatisfaction regarding the anti-covid measures taken by the government at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic - statistical study, april 2020
Authors: Stefanescu Maria Livia
Published: December 2024

We will analyze to what extent Romanians are not satisfied with the antiCovid actions promoted by the Romanian government during April 2020. This period marks the debut quarter of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe. The present topic has been approached by the author before, but taking into account the period of May 2021, that is, little more than a year since the onset of the pandemic in the European area. The current paper fits into a series of analyses of the dynamics of Romanian government anti-Covid measures in the period 2020-2022. The research was carried out on a questionnaire basis, being interviewed in April 2020 a number of 1017 people from Romania. Specifically, the question act1ro used in this study has the following wording: "How satisfied or not are you with the measures of your government has taken so far against the coronavirus pandemic?". Interviewees in the Eurobarometer have several possible responses: Very satisfied (R1); Fairly satisfied (R2); Not very satisfied (R3); Not at all satisfied (R4); Don't know/Not applicable (DK). We mention that the Eurobarometer records were weighted, thus maintaining, in the last sample that is analyzed, the real proportions of the main socio-demographic characteristics of the Romanians from the beginning of 2020 year. In the statistical models used, the variable act1ro is a category variable of ordinal type with four ordinal classes R1-R4. The statistical processing of the data took also into account several individual characteristics X of respondents to the Eurobarometer questionnaire. We note in this context the following attributes X: the respondent's gender, the age category, the level of education, the work status, the social class of the individual, the attitude of the families with minor children, the development region of Romania to which belongs the respondent. In general, interpreting in this research the value of the Goodman-Kruskal association index GK(X, act1ro) we cannot speak of a significant association relationship between an individual characteristic X specified above and the individual's answers to the act1ro question. The application of a chi-squared statistical test of homogeneity allows us to decide whether the distributions of Romanians' opinions to the question act1ro could be considered the same from a statistical point of view in relation to an individual characteristic X specified before. The graphs of the two-dimensional distributions (X, act1ro) make it possible to nuance the dependence relations between the categorical variables X and act1ro.

In this study, we set out to carry out a two-stage analysis to outline the dynamics of family violence (the profile of aggressors) during the Covid 19 pandemic. In the first stage, we will be able to outline the profile of family aggressors, following indicators such as age, gender, level of education, occupation, etc. At this stage, the research methodology used is the secondary data analysis, a longitudinal analysis (period 2015-2020), both quantitative, but especially qualitative, at the same time verifying whether the profile of family aggressors is influenced by factors such as changes in legislation specific in the field (amendment of law no. 217/2003 for the prevention and combating of domestic violence), the Covid 19 pandemic, etc. The second stage of the research will consist of conducting interviews with family aggressors, the aim being to complete their profile, this time looking at subjective indicators. The limits of the research were determined by the fidelity of the data collected by the authorities, but also by the sincerity of the answers from the interviews.
Protecția socială a familiilor vulnerabile în România: adecvare și eficiență
Authors: Arpinte Daniel
Published: December 2024

Romania has the highest rates of poverty among children and some categories of families (in particular the single-parent families, families with three or more children, Roma families) but it has, at the level of the EU countries, the lowest budget allocations for the social protection of the family and the child. Demographic decline adds to the main long-term risks, with the most recent projections for 2050 being more pessimistic than those made in past decades. The analysis tries to identify to what extent the current family policies can respond to societal challenges regarding family protection, can contribute to increasing the quality of life of families and, implicitly, to reducing demographic decline. The most vulnerable categories of families will also be identified and the types of support available or planned to be implemented will be identified, from the perspective of adequacy to the needs of these families. Both existing programs and those to be implemented in the medium term, especially through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, are considered, from the perspective of their relevance and potential impact. Eurostat and INS data are used, secondary data from previous research projects, but also administrative data from central public institutions that implement programs or projects for families or children. Another component of the analysis concerns the strategies and action plans at the level of ministries and other central structures relevant to the family field, from the perspective of the adequacy of the programs or interventions proposed in relation to the main challenges of family protection.

Authors: Vikulenko Yuliya
Published: December 2024

he development and application of sustainable development indicators is an important tool for stimulating and supporting the development of the regional economy in modern conditions. Striving to maintain a balance of resources means that organizations and individuals strive to efficiently allocate and use the resources available to them. The implementation of basic general economic functions, such as production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services, is necessary to ensure the viability of economic systems. These systems, consisting of four basic types - objects, environments, processes and projects, strive to form stable complexes in which each element interacts with each other and with the environment, ensuring optimal functioning of the system as a whole. As a result of the conducted research, the innovativeness of using the balance index to assess and stimulate the development of the regional economy based on the materials of Russia and Kazakhstan was confirmed. The introduction of balance indicators makes it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the economic systems of the regions, as well as to make recommendations on improving the efficiency of management and rational use of resources.

Рассматривается концепция жизненного цикла оборудования. Оценивание технического состояния на различных этапах жизненного цикла может не только определять состояние, но и продлевать срок его эксплуатации оборудования. Предлагаются новые подходы к техническому обслуживанию и ремонту оборудования с использованием систем диагностирования и оценки фактического состояния, чтобы обеспечить более надежную и экономичную эксплуатацию оборудования на протяжении всего его жизненного цикла. Для этого необходимы более точные и надежные подходы к оценке состояния изолирующих стыков (ИС). Развивающиеся системы диагностирования играют важную роль в этом процессе, позволяя обнаруживать дефекты на ранних стадиях и уменьшать затраты и риски возникновения аварийных ситуаций. Авторы проводят анализ изменения жизненного цикла ИС при применении стратегии планово-предупредительного ремонта и стратегии обслуживания по фактическому состоянию (применения непрерывного диагностирования).

The article discusses the concept of equipment life cycle. The authors point out that assessing the technical condition of equipment at various stages of its life cycle can not only determine the condition, but also extend its service life. The article proposes new approaches to the maintenance and repair of equipment using diagnostic systems and assessment of the actual condition to ensure more reliable and economical operation of equipment throughout its entire life cycle. This requires more accurate and reliable approaches to assessing the condition of insulating joints (IS). Developing diagnostic systems play an important role in this process, making it possible to detect defects at early stages and reduce costs and risks of emergency situations. The authors analyze changes in the life cycle of an IS when applying a preventive maintenance strategy and a maintenance strategy based on actual condition (using continuous diagnostics).

Published: December 2024

Приведены результаты экспериментальных исследований вибротранспортирования мелкодисперсных насыпных грузов, в виде регрессионных и графических зависимостей скорости виброперемещения от параметров колебаний. Выполнен их анализ и сравнение с транспортированием одномассной упруго-вязкопластичной модели виброслоя материала. Обосновано, что транспортабельность сыпучих мелкодисперсных грузов зависит, в основном, от параметров колебаний виброслоя, высоты слоя, гранулометрического состава материала, коэффициента трения материала по стали и соотношения между высотой виброслоя материала и углом наклона виброповерхности. Установлено, что среднее эффективное значение давления газа под слоем мелкодисперсного груза, типа дробленой извести имеет отрицательные значения. Критерий подобия массообменных процессов Шваба, наряду с коэффициентом режима работы, позволяет достаточно точно охарактеризовать динамическое состояние системы сыпучий груз - транспортирующая машина. Выявлено, что наибольшее влияние на динамические параметры виброперемещения, оказывает скорость колебаний виброповерхности, причем, и наиболее благоприятна большая амплитуда при низкой частоте колебаний грузонесущего органа.

The results of experimental studies of vibration transportation of fine bulk cargoes are presented in the form of regression and graphical dependences of the vibration displacement rate on the vibration parameters. Their analysis and comparison with the transportation of a single-mass elastic-visco-plastic model of the vibratory layer of the material is performed. It is proved that the transportability of bulk fine-dispersed cargoes depends mainly on the vibration parameters of the vibrating bed, the height of the layer, the granulometric composition of the material, the coefficient of friction of the material on steel and the ratio between the height of the vibrating bed of the material and the angle of inclination of the vibrating surface. It has been established that the average effective value of the gas pressure under a layer of finely dispersed cargo, such as crushed lime, has negative values. The criterion of similarity of Schwab's mass transfer processes, along with the coefficient of operation mode, allows us to accurately characterize the dynamic state of the bulk cargo - transporting machine system. It is revealed that the greatest influence on the dynamic parameters of vibration displacement is exerted by the vibration velocity of the vibration surface, moreover, and the most favorable is the large amplitude at a low vibration frequency of the load-bearing organ.

Published: December 2024

This study assesses the extent to which cumulative impacts are considered when evaluating the environmental and social impacts of development projects in proximity to a protected area. The applicability of the Sorensen and Rau method for evaluating these impacts was also investigated. The methodological basis of this study is the content analysis of eight environmental and social impact assessment reports. These reports were assessed using an assessment grid divided into six blocks of questions. This grid was developed on the basis of good practice and implemented through exchanges with key stakeholders. It was also implemented in accordance with the four stages recommended by Sorensen and Rau. The results demonstrate that Block 1, which pertains to the role of the Campo-Ma'an National Park in the study, has a level of consideration of 79%. Block 2, which pertains to the analysis of the impact of the projects on the Park, was considered to a degree of 81%. Block 3, which addresses the consideration of cumulative impacts on the Park, was addressed to a limited extent, at 52%. Block 4, which pertains to public participation, has a compliance rate of 47%. Block 5, which pertains to the integration of the Environmental and Social Management Plan, was considered to the extent of 67%. Block 6 addressed 47% of the cumulative impacts on the park in the Environmental and Social Management Plan. The findings of the Sorensen and Rau method indicate that the component associated with great ape populations remains of significant value, with a criticality score of 19.52. Those components associated with the park's surface area, ecological corridors and habitat remain at an average criticality value of 11.4, 11.1 and 10.22, respectively. This suggests that the park's valued components could suffer from the cumulative effects of the various projects, particularly those associated with great apes. The study revealed that projects do not systematically integrate cumulative impacts due to a dearth of data, and that this shortcoming could be addressed through a combined matrix and network approach. It would be more prudent to consider the digitization of systems in relation to impact analysis at a time when digital technology is optimizing systems.
Analisis Terhadap Kontestasi Ideologi Keagamaan Dalam Berbagai Isu Seperti Politik Identitas di Indonesia
Authors: Dedi Susanto  , Muhammad Amri Tajudin  , Abdullah Thalib
Published: December 2024

The contestation of religious ideology in identity politics in Indonesia has become a significant social phenomenon, affecting the dynamics of politics and inter-religious relations in this pluralistic country. This article aims to analyze the role of religious ideology in identity politics and its impact on social life in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature analysis and case studies, such as the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election, to illustrate how religion is politicized to gain political support. The results show that religious-based identity politics is increasingly dominant in the public sphere, exacerbating social polarization among religious communities, and increasing discrimination against religious minority groups. Social media plays a significant role in accelerating the spread of religious ideology, while the state, through the Pancasila policy, seeks to maintain social harmony amidst differences. This article concludes that although the contestation of religious ideology can exacerbate social tensions, inter-religious dialogue and increasing social tolerance can be the key to reducing these negative impacts and maintaining unity in diversity in Indonesia.

SUBTITLE TRANSLATION OF SCREEN TEXTS: THE STUDY OF THE SERIES BABY REINDEER AND ITS TURKISH SUBTITLES
Authors: Çavuşoğlu Ebru
Published: December 2024

Audiovisual translation has gradually overtaken the role of being a bridge between cultures in today’s digitalized world. Subtitle translation is one of the most common modalities of audiovisual translation and is usually preferred by viewers who would like to be exposed to the source language. Online streaming platforms like Netflix which streams in more than 30 languages in 190 countries, enable the fast circulation of visual media content worldwide. One of the latest releases of Netflix entitled “Baby Reindeer” has become quite popular with its interesting storyline based on true events in a very short time. This descriptive study aims to investigate Turkish subtitles of screen texts such as emails, Facebook posts, and text messages full of typos in the framework of Gottlieb’s model in subtitling strategies. Results demonstrated that the subtitle translator strived to maintain the equivalence effect by preserving the typos in Turkish subtitles of the screen texts and dominantly used the strategy of transfer. It is hoped that this study will encourage more research on the translation of visual elements like written texts in subtitle translation.

We find constructive necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability and a scheme for construction of solutions of a nonlinear boundary-value problem unsolved with respect to the derivative. On the basis of the Adomian decomposition method, convergent iterative schemes for finding approximations of solutions of a nonlinear boundary-value problem unsolved with respect to the derivative are constructed. As examples of the application of the constructed iterative scheme, we find approximations of the solutions of a periodic boundary-value problem for Rayleigh-type equations unsolved with respect to the derivative including the case of a periodic problem for the equation that determines the motion of a satellite in an elliptical orbit.

To identify the factors potentially impacting the entry-level salary, a frequency analysis of text descriptions of job vacancies posted at the online recruitment platform HeadHunter was conducted. In addition to assessing the direct impact of skills, their complementarity was identified. Hard skills have a positive impact on the entry-level salary, while soft skills have a predominantly indirect impact through enhancing the impact of hard skills. The paper fills a lack of research allowing to justify the choice of skills and their combinations to learn. It has been shown that the skills that are more rarely listed in job advertisements tend to pay off faster. Although the main findings come from the total sample, both the impact of skills and their pay-off are heterogeneous across occupations, so the authors conducted a separate analysis for a subsample of analysts. The resulting more specific findings suggest that further research by occupation is worth pursuing.

“Faster diagnosis, better outcomes: Biosensors pave the way for a brighter future for cancer patients”. As one of the top causes of death worldwide, cancer must be addressed with the help of innovative treatments and state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques. Due to stress, poor lifestyle choices, and environmental factors, cancer incidence is worryingly on the rise in India, especially among the younger generation. In India, 1 in 5 persons may receive a cancer diagnosis by 2025, potentially impacting 1.57 million people, even though 30–50% of cancers are preventable. Even though standard screening techniques are frequently too costly and impracticable for everyday use, early detection is vital. Alternatives that show promise include emerging biosensor technologies, which give quick, accurate, and customized diagnostic results. Due to its capacity to quickly and automatically identify biological changes, ultra-sensitive biosensing systems utilizing single chips have revolutionized cancer detection. Since they are more effective than conventional techniques, point-of-care (PoC) biosensors—such as innovative nano-sensing devices for exosomal micro-RNA analysis—are becoming increasingly popular. Developing sophisticated diagnostic instruments like bio-computers and resonant mirrors is made easier by these biosensors, which combine analytes, receptors, and electrical sensors to detect cancer biomarkers in biological samples. The accuracy and usability of detection are further improved by advancements in wearable technologies, microfluidics, and electrochemical and graphene-based sensors. BrCyS-Q and NanoLiposomes provide improved photodynamic treatment and targeted medication delivery, respectively. Improved patient outcomes and early intervention are anticipated using the i-Genbox, a colorimetric sensor based on LAMP technology, and DNA-SWCNT-based sensors that further improve biomarker identification for gynecologic tumors.
Relaciones militares entre China y América Latina (2001-2024)
Authors: Romero Wimer Fernando

Este texto tiene como objetivo general caracterizar el desarrollo de la capacidad militar de China en torno a la evolución del gasto de las fuerzas armadas, al comercio de armamento y la cooperación marcial en lo que va del siglo XXI y examinar sus connotaciones para América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), considerando tanto el escenario de disputa político-militar con el imperialismo estadounidense, como los objetivos estratégicos de la potencia asiática y los cambios en su política de defensa. Metodológicamente, se trata de una investigación cualitativa-cuantitativa. Tomando en cuenta el período en cuestión, a través de diversas fuentes se realizó un relevamiento sobre: las principales orientaciones oficiales de China sobre la cuestión militar, defensa y relaciones con ALC; los intercambios comerciales y donaciones de armamentos y equipamiento militar de China con los países de ALC; los intercambios de personal y los ejercicios conjuntos; las llamadas ‘misiones humanitarias’ y de ‘mantenimiento de la paz’; las actividades e intercambios en el área espacial entre China y ALC; y la transferencia tecnológica militar entre China y ALC.

Crude palm oil (CPO) is commonly utilised in processed food items, including cooking oil. Cooking oil is made by heating it at high temperatures and refining it with bleaching earth to remove the sap and brown-red hue. As a result, it can remove β-carotene from CPO, which is no longer physiologically beneficial for human metabolism. This study seeks to eliminate sap and contaminants in CPO by assessing optimal degumming operation model with response surface methodology (RSM) to gain degummed red palm oil (DRPO) at high retaining β-carotene content. The results show that the optimal factors are 70°C heating temperature and 0.4% (v/v) of phosphoric acid concentration, with a β-carotene value was 455.892 ppm. After the degumming process, the physicochemical properties of palm oil remained relatively constant. Group bonds were unchanged since the primary triglyceride component contains C-H and C=O group bonds. The predicted degradation β-carotene model was y = 451.94 - 53.8(X) - 10.99(Y) + 3.61(XY) - 17.23(X2) - 18.56(Y2) by lack of fit 3.47%, X is temperature range, and Y volume range. This quadratic model has function for further degummed reactor design, on range operation variable.

Published: December 2024

Background & objectives:

Scrub typhus is a vector-borne zoonotic infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Local epidemiology of the circulating serotypes of scrub typhus is not available from most parts of India. We conducted this study for the diagnosis of scrub typhus using IgM ELISA and to detect O. tsutsugamushi serotypes circulating in southern Andhra Pradesh, India.

Methods:

Samples were collected from patients clinically suspected to have scrub typhus and were subjected to IgM ELISA to measure IgM antibodies against O. tsutsugamushi. Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed targeting strain-specific regions in ELISA-positive samples.

Results:

Of a total of 663 samples, 258 (38.91%) were found to be positive by IgM ELISA. Serotypes could be detected in 230 (34.69%) samples only. Only two serotypes, Karp and Kawasaki, were found in the serum samples, with the former being predominant. The dual infection of Karp and Kawasaki serotypes was found in seven patients. Other serotypes such as Gilliam, Kuroki and Kato were not detected in the samples.

Interpretation & conclusion:

The nested PCR products proved useful in presumptively identifying the endemic O. tsutsugamushi serotypes. The present study could be significant in understanding scrub typhus epidemiology in this region.

Published: December 2024

Background & objectives:

Fixed orthodontic treatment, an indispensable procedure in orthodontics, necessitates insertion of dental bands. Insertion of band material could also introduce a site of plaque retention. It was hypothesized that band materials with slow-release antimicrobial properties could help in sustained infection control, prevention of dental plaque formation and further associated health risks. Considering the known antimicrobial proprieties of silver, a coating of silver nanoparticle (SNP) onto the stainless steel bands was done and characterized for its beneficial properties in the prevention of plaque accumulation.

Methods:

Coatings of SNPs on conventional stainless steel dental bands were prepared using thermal evaporation technology. The coated dental bands were characterized for their physicochemical properties and evaluated for antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility. The physiochemical characterization of band material both coated and uncoated was carried out using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, atomic force microscopyand contact angle test. Biocompatibility tests for coated band material were carried using L929 mouse fibroblast cell culture and MTT [3-(4, 5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay. Antimicrobial activity of coated band material against Gram-positive bacteria was tested.

Results:

A stable and uniform coating of SNPs was obtained. The coated band materials were biocompatible as well as possessed distinct antimicrobial activity.

Interpretation & conclusions:

The SNP coated dental bands could be potential antimicrobial dental bands for future clinical use. Further studies need to be done to validate the efficiency of coated band materials in oral environments.
