Authors: Міньковська А. В. , Мирончук М. В. , Щеглова Т. С.
Published: November 2024

Тема статті є важливою, оскільки правильний вибір системи оподаткування впливає на фінансову стабільність, ефективність діяльності та розвиток аграрного сектору. Її актуальність зумовлена потребою забезпечення економічної підтримки фермерів в умовах сучасних викликів, таких як війна, земельна реформа та інтеграція до Європи. Метою дослідження є виявлення особливостей оподаткування фермерських господарств для визначення оптимальних моделей податкового навантаження. Для дослідження теми були використані теоретичні методи аналізу, синтезу, порівняння та метод графічного представлення даних. У статті розглядаються особливості оподаткування фермерських господарств залежно від форми їх державної реєстрації та вибору системи оподаткування (загальної чи спрощеної). Констатовано, що законодавство у визначенні «фермерське господарство» вже вказує обмеження у виборі групи на спрощеній системі оподаткування. Досліджено фактори, які впливають на вибір фермерів між реєстрацією як фізичної особи-підприємця (ФОП) або юридичної особи, а також на вибір відповідної системи оподаткування. Проаналізовано вимоги та обмеження для фермерів, які перебувають на спрощеній системі оподаткування (3 і 4 групи єдиного податку), зокрема розрахунок податкового навантаження залежно від площі земельних ділянок та нормативно-грошової оцінки. Описано особливості загальної системи оподаткування для фермерських господарств, включаючи ставки ПДФО, військового збору, ЄСВ, а також умови адміністрування податків. Розглянуто податкові зобов'язання фермерських господарств як податкових агентів при залученні найманих працівників. Виокремлено переваги та недоліки кожної системи, залежно від масштабу діяльності, фінансових витрат і потреб у розвитку господарства. Констатовано відсутність оптимальної системи оподаткування для фермерського господарства. Наведено фактори, врахування яких спростить вибір податкового навантаження. Результати роботи спрямовані на формування уявлень про оптимальні моделі податкового навантаження, які забезпечують ефективність функціонування фермерських господарств, мінімізують адміністративні навантаження та сприяють розвитку аграрного сектору.

Authors: Кучук А. М.
Published: November 2024

Актуальність дослідження зумовлена посиленням ролі виконавчої влади у воєнний час, необхідністю збалансувати захист прав людини та забезпечення безпеки, а також потребою вдосконалення механізмів контролю за владою та адаптації національного законодавства до міжнародних стандартів. Метою дослідження є привернути увагу науковців до необхідності розробки ефективних механізмів управління державними органами в умовах воєнного стану. У роботі використано аксіологічний, герменевтичний та системний підходи. Аксіологічний підхід фокусується на аналізі системи цінностей, які формують управлінські рішення в умовах війни. За допомогою герменевтичного підходу інтерпретовано глибинний зміст і контекст правових норм та управлінських рішень, які приймаються в умовах кризи. Системний підхід дозволяє розглядати адміністративні органи в контексті ширшої системи державного управління, що функціонує в умовах надзвичайних ситуацій. Дослідження демонструє важливість комплексного підходу до аналізу управлінських і правових аспектів діяльності адміністративних органів в умовах воєнного стану. Виділено напрями дослідження правового та управлінського аспектів, які формують основу для системного розуміння специфіки функціонування адміністративних органів за екстраординарних умов: кризове управління, управління ресурсами, стратегічні рішення, інноваційні підходи, правовий статус, обмеження прав і свобод, а також контроль і відповідальність. Встановлено, що поєднання управлінських і правових механізмів є ключовим для забезпечення ефективності, законності та легітимності діяльності органів влади, зокрема у контексті захисту людських прав. Обґрунтовано необхідність чіткого правового регулювання діяльності адміністративних органів, яке враховує виклики воєнного стану та запобігає порушенням демократичних принципів. Теоретичне значення дослідження полягає у тому, що робота має пропедевтичний характер і створює теоретичне підґрунтя для подальшого аналізу діяльності адміністративних органів. Запропонована необхідність синергії правових і управлінських аспектів функціонування адміністративних органів вказує на доцільність застосування інтегрованого підходу у наступних розробках. Стаття є теоретичною роботою, присвяченою висвітленню підґрунтя виконанню державою обов’язків щодо забезпечення безпеки та захисту фундаментальних прав і свобод в умовах екстраординарних умов.
A robust hybrid algorithm AI and GA for optimizing wind power in electricity market
Authors: Dinh Ngoc Sang  , Truong Viet Anh  , Tung Linh Nguyen
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes a robust hybrid method to optimize benefits under adverse conditions due to the uncertainty of wind power when integrated into competitive electricity markets. The hybrid algorithm synergizes an artificial intelligence technique to enhance the optimization efficiency of evolutionary algorithms. Results from the novel hybrid algorithm significantly enhance optimization speed and surpass local optima to achieve more favorable global optimum results. Experimental validation on the IEEE 30-bus power system, compared with previous studies and the original evolutionary algorithm, demonstrates notably higher profitability with the proposed algorithm. Based on experimental findings, the hybrid wind power-thermal power plant model also proves to mitigate compensation risks stemming from wind speed uncertainty, thereby stabilizing the electricity market and enhancing energy security. Encouraging optimal wind power capacity bidding on the electricity market in this context should entail a reduction of 15% to 18% compared to predictive expectations to attain optimal benefits.

Authors: Tô Linh , Nguyễn Minh Trí  , Lê Ngọc Hoan  , Pham Van Nam  , Vũ Ngọc Toán
Published: November 2024

Thermochromic materials are extensively utilized in various fields, such as healthcare, textiles, and military applications. The exceptional thermal properties of these materials are attributed to the thermochromic substances they contain. Lactone-based thermochromic compounds, known for their high sensitivity, broad color change range, and durability, have been extensively researched and developed. In this article, a thermochromic compound, crystal violet lactone (CVL), chemically identified as 3,3-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide, was prepared through two steps by the reaction of N,N-dimethylaniline, m-dimethylaminobenzoic acid, and p-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde in acid condition. CVL exists in white powder, melting point 180 - 183 oC, yield 61.6%. The product structure was determined by modern physical methods such as IR, 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and MS spectra.

Authors: Avramidou Eleni , Psatha Konstantina , John Kallisti St , Tsoulfas Georgios , Aivaliotis Michalis
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Despite the developments in the field of kidney transplantation, the already existing diagnostic techniques for patient monitoring are considered insufficient. Protein biomarkers that can be derived from modern approaches of proteomic analysis of liquid biopsies (serum, urine) represent a promising innovation in the monitoring of kidney transplant recipients.

AIM

To investigate the diagnostic utility of protein biomarkers derived from proteomics approaches in renal allograft assessment.

METHODS

A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, based on research results from the PubMed and Scopus databases. The primary focus was on evaluating the role of biomarkers in the non-invasive diagnosis of transplant-related complications. Eligibility criteria included protein biomarkers and urine and blood samples, while exclusion criteria were language other than English and the use of low resolution and sensitivity methods. The selected research articles, were categorized based on the biological sample, condition and methodology and the significantly and reproducibly differentiated proteins were manually selected and extracted. Functional and network analysis of the selected proteins was performed.

RESULTS

In 17 included studies, 58 proteins were studied, with the cytokine CXCL10 being the most investigated. Biological pathways related to immune response and fibrosis have shown to be enriched. Applications of biomarkers for the assessment of renal damage as well as the prediction of short-term and long-term function of the graft were reported. Overall, all studies have shown satisfactory diagnostic accuracy of proteins alone or in combination with conventional methods, as far as renal graft assessment is concerned.

CONCLUSION

Our review suggests that protein biomarkers, evaluated in specific biological fluids, can make a significant contribution to the timely, valid and non-invasive assessment of kidney graft.
Endothelial dysfunction in the kidney transplant population: Current evidence and management strategies
Authors: Prabhahar Arun , Batta Akshey , Hatwal Juniali , Kumar Vivek , Ramachandran Raja , Batta Akash
Published: November 2024

The endothelium modulates vascular homeostasis owing to a variety of vasoconstrictors and vasodilators. Endothelial dysfunction (ED), characterized by impaired vasodilation, inflammation, and thrombosis, triggers future cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Chronic kidney disease, a state of chronic inflammation caused by oxidative stress, metabolic abnormalities, infection, and uremic toxins damages the endothelium. ED is also associated with a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. After kidney transplantation, endothelial functions undergo immediate but partial restoration, promising graft longevity and enhanced CV health. However, the anticipated CV outcomes do not happen due to various transplant-related and unrelated risk factors for ED, culminating in poor CV health and graft survival. ED in kidney transplant recipients is an under-recognized and poorly studied entity. CV diseases are the leading cause of death among kidney transplant candidates with functioning grafts. ED contributes to the pathogenesis of many of the CV diseases. Various biomarkers and vasoreactivity tests are available to study endothelial functions. With an increasing number of transplants happening every year, and improved graft rejection rates due to the availability of effective immunosuppressants, the focus has now shifted to endothelial protection for the prevention, early recognition, and treatment of CV diseases.
Expanding role of antibodies in kidney transplantation
Authors: Abbas Khawar , Mubarak Muhammed
Published: November 2024

The role of antibodies in kidney transplant (KT) has evolved significantly over the past few decades. This role of antibodies in KT is multifaceted, encompassing both the challenges they pose in terms of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and the opportunities for improving transplant outcomes through better detection, prevention, and treatment strategies. As our understanding of the immunological mechanisms continues to evolve, so too will the approaches to managing and harnessing the power of antibodies in KT, ultimately leading to improved patient and graft survival. This narrative review explores the multifaceted roles of antibodies in KT, including their involvement in rejection mechanisms, advancements in desensitization protocols, AMR treatments, and their potential role in monitoring and improving graft survival.

The exotic aquatic plant, Cryptocoryne wendtii “Brown”, can develop into an economic crop with a continually increasing export value. Thailand is unable to produce to meet the demand. Therefore, this experiment aimed to study the optimum concentrations of growth regulators on plantlet induction. The sterile apical bud was cultured on semi-solid MS media (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg/L and thidiazuron (TDZ) at 0, 1, 2, 3 mg/L. In the sixth week, the semi-solid MS medium which contains 0.1 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L TDZ showed the maximum new plantlets (67.92±19.61 plantlets/explant), leaves (67.42±19.46 leaves/explant) and height (28.65±1.55 mm./plantlet), had the highest average significance (P<0.05). Micropropagation of C. wendtii “Brown” in optimum culture medium could increase the volume within a shorter period and enhances the potential for quality and value-added to aquatic plant production.
Rhabdomyolysis-related acute kidney injury in COVID-19: A critical concern
Authors: Sarker Md Safiullah
Published: November 2024

Rhabdomyolysis is a severe condition characterized by the breakdown of muscle tissue leading to the release of intracellular components into the bloodstream. This condition, when associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), can result in significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This editorial discusses a retrospective study on patients with COVID-19 who developed rhabdomyolysis-related AKI. The study highlights that patients with rhabdomyolysis exhibited higher inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, ferritin, and procalcitonin, and experienced worse clinical outcomes compared to those with other causes of AKI. The findings underscore the importance of early recognition and management of rhabdomyolysis in COVID-19 patients to improve prognosis and reduce mortality rates.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

At the end of December 2019, the world faced severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which led to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), associated with respiratory issues. This virus has shown significant challenges, especially for senior citizens, patients with other underlying illnesses, or those with a sedentary lifestyle. Serological tests conducted early on have helped identify how the virus is transmitted and how to curb its spread. The study hypothesis was that the rapid serological test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies could indicate the immunoreactive profile during the COVID-19 pandemic in a university population.

AIM

To conduct active surveillance for serological expression of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in individuals within a university setting during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

This sectional study by convenience sampling was conducted in a large university in Niteroi-RJ, Brazil, from March 2021 to July 2021. The study population consisted of students, faculty, and administrative staff employed by the university. A total of 3433 faculty members, 60703 students, and 3812 administrative staff were invited to participate. Data were gathered through rapid serological tests to detect immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG against SARS-CoV-2. The χ ² or Fisher's exact test was used to conduct statistical analysis. A 0.20 significance level was adopted for variable selection in a multiple logistic regression model to evaluate associations.

RESULTS

A total of 1648 individuals were enrolled in the study. The proportion of COVID-19 positivity was 164/1648 (9.8%). The adjusted logistic model indicate a positive association between the expression of IgM or IgG and age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, 95%CI: 1.02-1.31] (P < 0.0024), individuals who had been in contact with a COVID-19-positive case (OR = 3.49, 95%CI: 2.34-5.37) (P < 0.001), those who had received the COVID-19 vaccine (OR = 2.33, 95%CI: 1.61-3.35) (P < 0.001) and social isolation (OR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.41-0.84) (P < 0.004). The likelihood of showing a positive result increased by 16% with every ten-year increment. Conversely, adherence to social distancing measures decreased the likelihood by 41%.

CONCLUSION

These findings evidenced that the population became more exposed to the virus as individuals discontinued social distancing practices, thereby increasing the risk of infection for themselves.

Authors: Shahid Yumna , Butt Amna Subhan , Jamali Iqra , Ismail Faisal Wasim
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

For decades, hepatitis A virus (HAV) has been a leading cause of acute hepatitis among children and was less prevalent among adults. However, recently a paradigm shift has been observed in the epidemiology of HAV, as evident by cases of acute hepatitis due to HAV among adults.

AIM

To estimate frequency of HAV in acute viral hepatitis and compare characteristics in HAV and hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection.

METHODS

This was a trend analysis conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi (Sindh, Pakistan) from February 2024 to May 2024. Individuals aged 18 years and older diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis attributed to hepatotropic viruses in 2024 were reviewed. To compare the trend patients admitted with acute hepatitis during 2019-2023 were also reviewed. Data regarding clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded. The yearly trend of acute hepatitis due to HAV and HEV was analyzed, and comparative analysis was done between HAV and HEV cases among adults.

RESULTS

A total of 396 patients were found to have acute hepatitis during our study duration. HAV was diagnosed in 234 patients (59%) while 157 patients (39.6%) were found to have acute HEV infection. Additionally, acute hepatitis B virus infection was identified in 3 patients (0.7%), whereas acute hepatitis C virus infection was found in 2 (0.5%) cases of acute hepatitis. Yearly trends showed increasing occurrence of HAV infection among adults over last 5 years. The patients with acute HAV were younger than patients with HEV (28 years ± 8 years vs 30 years ± 8 years; P < 0.01). Higher levels of total bilirubin were seen in HEV infection, while higher levels of alanine transaminase were seen in HAV infection. However, a higher proportion of acute liver failure (ALF), coagulopathy, and mortality were observed in HEV.

CONCLUSION

An increase in acute hepatitis A cases among adults shows less severity than hepatitis E, highlighting the need for better sanitation, hygiene, and adult hepatitis A vaccination programs.

Revisiting Pragmatic Competence: An Emotional Perspective
Authors: Zhang Fenghua
Published: November 2024

This study revisits pragmatic competence from an emotional perspective, specifically, from the empathy. Based on the overview of the pragmatics and pragmatic competence, the current research finds that the traditional views on the pragmatic competence are mostly from the social-cultural dimensions. Language and emotions are richly intertwined: language can be used to convey emotions, and specific emotions are created from certain pragmatic behavior. This research proposes that pragmatic competence should take emotions into consideration, particularly pragmatic empathy—the ability to understanding the interlocutors’ emotional needs and willingness in sharing this understanding with the interlocutors in language use. It is suggested that pragmatic empathy run through the language in use. This research argues that the whole process of social interaction co-occurs with online pragmatic empathy: from the feelings of what to say to the actualization of it in a particular context.

The issue of recycling polymers and their waste is quite acute. Basically, polymers are processed and blended by mechanically mixing them in a melt. However, the use of supercritical fluid in the processing and dispersion of polymers and their mixtures has shown its prospects. Previous research has found that polymer mixtures obtained by mixing in solution and then precipitating using supercritical carbon dioxide have increased structural order, and therefore an increased crystallinity degree. In this regard, research has been carried out on the application of the supercritical fluid antisolvent method for the processing of secondary raw materials. It should also be noted that dispersing polymers using the supercritical fluid antisolvent method helps remove impurities and low-molecular-weight thermal degradation products from the polymer. This article presents the results of recycling recycled polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate, as well as the possibilities of their joint mixing and dispersion using the supercritical fluid antisolvent method, namely the SEDS method. The kinetics of melting and crystallization of these polymers, as well as their mixtures obtained in the melt and using the SEDS method, were studied. As a result of calorimetric studies, it was established that for all mixtures of waste PET - PC obtained using the SEDS method, the specific heat of fusion exceeds the values for similar mixtures obtained in the melt. SEDS conditions create the best conditions for the crystallization process, up to the crystallization of amorphous polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate. The results of a study of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the mixtures under study are presented.
STUDY OF ELECTRODIFFUSION PERMEABILITY OF ULTRA- MICROFILTRATION MEMBRANES IN AQUEOUS PHOSPHATE-CONTAINING SOLUTIONS
Authors:   Tambov State Technical University, KOTENEV S.I.
Published: November 2024

More than 70% of process solutions from car wash stations are discharged contaminated and exceeding MAC standards. Current legislation prohibits the discharge of wastewater generated at a car wash into the environment, even onto the ground, without treating it. To solve the problem of pollution of the aquatic environment with synthetic surfactants, it is necessary to use special purification methods, for example, the use of adsorbents, flotation, electromembrane separation and other technologies. Modern wastewater treatment systems are designed with the ability to extract valuable components from separated aqueous solutions and return purified water to the enterprise water supply system. An analysis of the works of domestic and foreign authors in the field of technologies for purifying aqueous media from pollutants shows that the greatest economic and environmental efficiency can be achieved by using electric membrane separation methods, namely, ultra- and microfiltration. The technological scheme for purifying aqueous media using electric membrane units at the output produces filtrate in the amount of 97% of the volume of purified water and concentrate in the amount of 3% of the volume of purified water. To calculate the technological scheme for purification from specific pollutants, it is necessary to conduct experimental studies to determine the dependencies of the main kinetic characteristics of electric membrane separation. In the process of mass transfer of dissolved substances through membranes, the main contribution occurs due to electrodiffusion permeability. Therefore, the purpose of the presented work is to study the electrodiffusion permeability of ultra- and microfiltration membranes UFM-100, MFFC-2G, MMK 0.45 in aqueous phosphate-containing solutions. Analysis of the research results will allow us to propose an expression for a mathematical description of the coefficient of electrodiffusion permeability of membranes. The resulting expression takes into account the influence of the concentration of the initial solution, current density and temperature.
Por un cine vitalista: algunas impresiones sobre el cine de Jonas Mekas y Naomi Kawase
Authors: Gattás Vargas Maia
Published: November 2024

En este trabajo nos proponemos un cruce entre el cine de Jonas Mekas y el de Naomi Kawase y la corriente filosófica vitalista que tiene a vida como una palabra clave. Tomaremos como marco teórico para este trabajo el libro Hacia una vida intensa de la socióloga y ensayista argentina María Pía López. A través de ella traemos al presente la pregunta que se hicieron las vanguardias de principios de siglo XX: “¿Qué es la vida? ¿Cómo producir un arte o una lengua no escindidos de la vida?” (López, 2009, p. 19).
Prolegômenos para o filme-ensaio Le gai savoir de Godard
Authors: Silva Cavalcante Patrick
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho visa apresentar uma breve análise do filme Le gai savoir (1967-1969) de Jean-Luc Godard, sob o recorte do domínio do filme-ensaio. Na obra em questão, ao tentar definir o conceito de imagem, tanto visual quanto sonora, Godard busca compreender o processo de “fabricação” das imagens livres, sem “palavras de ordem”, a propósito de uma epistemologia transversal. Ao abordar essa busca, iremos fazer uma correlação entre a montagem que é operada na forma do atlas –por meio das análises que Georges Didi-Huberman (2018) faz do atlas Mnemosyne de Aby Warburg– com a forma de montagem operada por Godard no filme em questão. Finalizaremos com uma abordagem sobre o pensamento ensaístico de Godard a partir de uma autocrítica que ele apresenta acerca do seu próprio fazer fílmico.
Afectos intergeneracionales: transfiguración de los conjuntos significantes en Delirio (Latishev, 2023) y Tamara y la Catarina (Carreras, 2016)
Authors: Camacho Gámez César Antonio
Published: November 2024

El presente trabajo analiza las películas Delirio (2023) y Tamara y la Catarina (2016), de las cineastas Alexandra Latishev y Lucía Carreras, respectivamente, enmarcándose en la teoría del giro afectivo, descrita por Cecilia Macón (2013), a través del método estético-figurativo de Jacques Fontanille (2008). En este sentido, desarrolla un estudio de semióticas somáticas aplicado a estas dos obras y busca entrelazar las propuestas de las directoras como un pronunciamiento social de lo afectivo, encontrando puntos en común sobre lo íntimo, el cuidado y la mirada femenina.
Cartografías afectivas en la película Un cuerpo estalló en mil pedazos. Bonino como un fantasma que habita los paisajes y los recuerdos
Authors: Sánchez Clavijo María Paula
Published: November 2024

La película Un cuerpo estalló en mil pedazos (Sappia, 2020) se presenta como un viaje que sigue el rastro de Jorge Bonino, actor cordobés que en sus obras se propuso la creación de un lenguaje universal. En este artículo abordamos la película como una cartografía afectiva (Depetris Chauvin, 2019), un filme que busca retratar los afectos de Bonino inscritos en el territorio, trazando un recorrido por los recuerdos de sus seres queridos y los distintos lugares que el artista habitó. 
Estudiamos el modo en que los afectos se activan a través del trabajo con la materialidad de las imágenes. Para esto analizamos distintas secuencias de la película en las que el espacio vacío, las imágenes que encarnan a Bonino, las texturas visuales y sonoras, y ciertos objetos que pertenecieron al artista activan sentidos de lo sensorial y lo espectral en las imágenes. De este modo, la figura de Bonino se construye a partir de la evocación de su mirada y su universo sensible, como una presencia-ausencia que habita las imágenes desde un tiempo otro.

The study focuses on themes such as identity, autonomy, resistance, sexuality, and the effects of patriarchy, as represented in novels by authors like Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai, Shashi Tharoor, and Anita Desai. The article highlights how these writers use fiction as a platform to challenge societal norms, giving voice to women’s inner conflicts and struggles for self-definition.
An Exploration of a Social Robot as a Digital Shield for Law Enforcement Interviews: Designing a Prototype.
Authors: Sahae Cryston , Gu Shuyue , Yang Lige , Björling Elin A. , Song Nichelle
Published: November 2024

Sexual assault (SA) is a pervasive societal issue, particularly affecting minors, women, and members of the TGQN (transgender, genderqueer, nonconforming) community. Widespread underreporting, fueled by a deep-seated mistrust of law enforcement, particularly among women, creates a formidable barrier, hindering survivors from seeking deserved justice and support. This paper presents the potential benefit of a social robot as a non-judgmental and supportive data-gathering technology, as a crucial tool in addressing the pervasive issue of retraumatization experienced by survivors of sexual assault during police interviews. The paper explores the preliminary design of social robots as digital shields, offering a supportive and non-judgmental space for survivors to disclose their experiences by analyzing the development process, user research, ideation, and concept testing of two robot prototypes: IRA and Pup. We underscore the potential for social robots and innovative technologies to enhance the support provided to survivors within the criminal justice system.

Authors: Leoste Janika , Marmor Kristel , Heidmets Mati
Published: November 2024

This study presents a literature review focused on nonverbal communication in human-robot interaction (HRI) that involves service robots with social capabilities. We aim to list the types of robots used and nonverbal communication cues examined in the reviewed studies; and the main research objectives, participant characteristics, data collection methods, and primary findings of these studies. To achieve this, we used the databases of WoS, Scopus and EBSCO to conduct a literature review on utilization of nonverbal cues by both humans and robots during HRI. The results obtained from 39 relevant open access academic papers published from 2006 to 2023 suggest that enhancing the quality of communication between humans and service robots must be improved, while there are several aspects that require more thorough exploring, needed to strengthen robot self-efficacy, trust and trustworthiness in HRI or overcome cultural differences. The results emphasize the importance of nonverbal communication in shaping the dynamics of interactions between humans and service robots.

Published: November 2024

The goals of the research are to investigate the benefits of corporate wellness (CW) for an organization as well as to investigate the implementation of CW in a chosen Slovenian organizationn. We first introduce the comprehensive concept of the balanced scorecard (BSC) and provide some literature review on the CW benefits. Next, based on the literature analysis as well as on the results of semi-structured interviews in a chosen organization, we answer research questions regarding the benefits of CW integration into BSC and use of the CW programs in a Slovenian company. One of the results is also an updated theoretical concept called corporate wellness-balanced scorecard (CW-BSC). The theoretical understanding of the BSC in relation to health and well-being has thus taken a step forward. Our research reveals that CW in a selected Slovenian company is not implemented at a strategic level. The research sets the base for a more comprehensive measurement in the organization, a more effective approach to strategic management and the development of human capital management, which in turn contribute to better business performance.

Sustainable development is defined as balanced social, cultural and economic advancement without putting the environment in jeopardy. Various green waves, or green tendencies, that are prevalent in practically every aspect of human life, have emerged globally to maintain the health of the planet. Green marketing, also known as ecological marketing, and environmental management are two ways that green activities are demonstrated. It might be argued that the term "green" is truly associated with sustainable development, because both sciences are critical to the operations of businesses and the effective management of those businesses toward their objectives. A contemporary approach to environmental management is ecological management. Eliminating detrimental influences and behaviors connected to people's health is the primary objective of such a system. Promoting products considered safe for the environment is known as environmental marketing. Green marketing, as a distinct scientific field, encompasses a range of initiatives that address products and increase public understanding of the value of a healthy environment and its preservation. Businesses that use green marketing and management practices are very socially conscious; in other words, they operate under the tenet of socially responsible business. To accomplish the established organizational goals, the article will discuss green management and green marketing with an emphasis on socially conscious companies.
Vpliv geopolitičnih razmer na finančni položaj držav G20
Authors: Devjak Srečko
Published: November 2024

Februarja 2022 se je svetovna politična javnost spoprijela z izbruhom rusko-ukrajinskega konflikta, zaradi katerega so posamične države uvedle sankcije proti Rusiji, te sankcije pa so omejile in zato prizadele svetovno gospodarstvo. Cilj tega prispevka je analizirati spremembo finančnega položaja držav G-20 od začetka rusko-ukrajinskega konflikta do danes, ki jo kažejo vrednosti makroekonomskih spremenljivk. V raziskavi bomo upoštevali vrednosti izbranih makroekonomskih spremenljivk konec leta 2021 (najbližji časovni presek začetku rusko-ukrajinskega konflikta) in konec leta 2022 (zadnji razpoložljivi podatki med pisanjem te raziskave). Države G-20 bomo v dve skupini razvrstili postopoma. Najprej bomo s pomočjo faktorske analize vse izbrane makroekonomske spremenljivke razvrstili v glavne skupne faktorje, ki bodo kazali sintetične makroekonomske lastnosti držav, nato pa bomo za vsak glavni skupni faktor izračunali razliko v vrednosti med letoma 2022 in 2021. Na podlagi izračunanih razlik bomo s pomočjo metode nehierarhičnega razvrščanja vse države G-20 razvrstili v prej opisani dve skupini držav. Nato bomo ugotavljali, katerim državam rusko-ukrajinski konflikt prinaša finančno korist in katerim prinaša finančno škodo.

El control del narcotráfico en la provincia de Córdoba (2012-2014)
Authors: Navarro Urquiza Pablo
Published: November 2024

Las investigaciones sobre políticas públicas de control del narcotráfico en la Argentina reciente –y, en particular, aquellos trabajos sobre políticas implementadas en la provincia de Buenos Aires– indican que las intervenciones estatales en la materia no tuvieron éxito. Esto se debe, por un lado, a que distintos actores estatales tendieron a regular ilegalmente los grandes emprendimientos dedicados al tráfico ilícito de drogas y, por otro lado, a que el accionar de las agencias penales priorizó la persecución y criminalización masiva de infractores menores de la Ley de Estupefacientes. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre las dos políticas de control del narcotráfico más relevantes implementadas durante los últimos años en la provincia de Córdoba: la adhesión a la Ley de Desfederalización Parcial de la Competencia Penal en Materia de Estupefacientes en 2012 y la creación de la Fuerza Policial Antinarcotráfico en 2014.

El presente libro analiza y describe, entonces, las características, el funcionamiento y los efectos de las políticas públicas de control del narcotráfico llevadas a cabo en la provincia de Córdoba entre los años 2012 y 2014.

Published: November 2024

Introdução: O COVID-19 identificado em Wuhan, província de Hubei, China, promoveu um surto caracterizado por uma pneumonia infecciosa aguda (BAO et al., 2020). São frequentes o relato de pessoas com sequelas pós-covid-19, entre elas, as cardiovasculares, entretanto, não se sabe ainda quais os reais mecanismos envolvidos. Objetivo geral: Analisar as sequelas cardiovasculares que emergiram no período pós-COVID-19, além de identificar e descrever os principais desafios enfrentados pela enfermagem no cuidado desses pacientes. Método: Este estudo consiste em uma revisão integrativa da literatura (RIL), foi realizado uma busca sistemática nas bases de dados PUBMED. Foram utilizados 15 artigos dos anos de 2020 a 2024, disponível na integra em português e inglês. Resultados: De acordo com as pesquisas realizadas, as complicações cardiovasculares associadas à COVID-19 podem ser classificadas em dois mecanismos principais: lesões diretas, como a inflamação resultante de pericardite, e complicações secundárias, como a sobrecarga cardíaca decorrente do estresse cardíaco, que interfere no funcionamento do coração (Santos et al., 2021). Zubair e Irfan (2020) destacam a tríade de Virchow, que inclui fluxo sanguíneo alterado, hipercoagulabilidade e danos vasculares, como fatores envolvidos no tromboembolismo. Segundo (Inglis SC et al. 2020) profissionais enfermeiros que atendem pacientes com doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) desempenham um papel essencial nesse contexto, especialmente ao reduzir a ansiedade sobre possíveis tratamentos para a COVID-19 e ao estabelecer expectativas realistas. Conclusão: Portanto, os estudos evidenciam que a COVID-19 impacta de forma complexa e multifacetada o sistema cardiovascular, abrangendo desde manifestações leves até complicações graves.   Nesse cenário, o papel do enfermeiro é fundamental e desafiador. Capacitação contínua e especializada é indispensável para identificar e manejar precocemente destas complicações.

Published: November 2024

O uso de contraceptivos tem crescido globalmente, com mais de 200 milhões de usuárias. No Brasil, recomendam-se métodos hormonais, cirúrgicos, comportamentais e de barreira. Anticoncepcionais contendo estrogênio podem aumentar o risco de trombose, tornando essencial a conscientização sobre esses riscos e a adoção de medidas preventivas. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo principal abordar a associação entre uso de anticoncepcional oral e os riscos de trombose. Através de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, foram analisados diversos estudos que abordaram essa temática. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o uso de anticoncepcionais orais, especialmente aqueles com maior teor de estrogênio e progestágenos de terceira geração, aumenta significativamente o risco de eventos trombóticos, como a trombose venosa profunda e a embolia pulmonar. A revisão também explorou a etiopatogenia da trombose, destacando a importância da tríade de Virchow (lesão endotelial, estase sanguínea e hipercoagulabilidade) nesse processo. Além disso, foram discutidas as diferentes gerações de anticoncepcionais e seus respectivos riscos. Conclui-se que a escolha do método contraceptivo deve ser individualizada e realizada em conjunto com um profissional de saúde, considerando os benefícios e os riscos envolvidos. Além disso, a educação em saúde e o aconselhamento sobre contracepção são fundamentais para garantir a segurança e a eficácia dos métodos contraceptivos.
