Authors: Yildirim Mert , Candan Zeki , Aksoy Burak , Dundar Turker
Published: June 2022

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of two different types of lignosulfonate (LS1 and LS2) added to urea–formaldehyde adhesive on the performance properties of five-layered plywood panels. The physical properties (density, thickness swelling, water absorption and moisture content), mechanical properties (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and bonding quality) and free formaldehyde emission were evaluated in accordance with international standards. The results show that the lignosulfonate used in the production of plywood panels improves not only mechanical properties but also physical properties. Furthermore, the reinforcement caused by the use of proper lignosulfonate resulted in a decrease in free formaldehyde content. Using 3% LS1, eco-friendly plywood panels with improved physical (max. 22.40%) and mechanical properties (max. 42.40%) and drastically reduced free formaldehyde emissions (max. 16.27%) can be produced. It was concluded that lignosulfonates, as a byproduct of the pulping industry, can be used as a high-value additive in formaldehyde-based adhesives for engineered wood composites.

Published: June 2022

Epileptic myoclonus or myoclonic seizures can occur in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). However, symptomatic myoclonus which is stimulus‐sensitive and provoked by movement is typically seen in PME and Lance‐Adams syndrome. Symptomatic myoclonus is not always associated with epileptiform discharges on the electroencephalogram. Therapeutic interventions such as anti‐seizure medications (ASMs), the ketogenic diet and vagus nerve stimulation are not always effective. There is emerging evidence that perampanel (PER), an α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist, may be effective for the treatment of myoclonic seizures and symptomatic myoclonus. We performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the efficacy of PER as treatment for myoclonic seizures and symptomatic myoclonus. Twenty‐seven studies with a total sample size of 260 patients were included. The efficacy of PER was analysed separately for myoclonic seizures and symptomatic myoclonus. In the group with myoclonic seizures, 50% responder, 75% responder and seizure freedom rates were reported as 74.3% (101/136), 60.3% (82/136) and 57.4% (78/136), respectively, with a follow‐up duration of 6–12 months. However, in one post‐hoc analysis of data from patients with IGE, the efficacy of PER as treatment for myoclonic seizures during the double‐blind phase showed no significant difference compared to placebo. The efficacy of PER for symptomatic myoclonus was reported in a total of 119 patients. Four studies (n=88 patients) reported the efficacy of PER as a decrease in myoclonus score/scale. In the remaining 31 patients, symptomatic myoclonus resolved in three patients, decreased in 21 patients and seven patients showed no improvement. We also analysed the number of patients who were already on levetiracetam (LEV) or valproic acid (VPA) at the time of PER initiation; these data were available for 153 patients. Of these, 56.8% were on LEV and 75.1% were on VPA when PER was initiated. This systematic review suggests that PER may be effective as treatment for drug‐resistant myoclonic seizures and symptomatic myoclonus. It may also be effective in patients who have already failed to respond to LEV and VPA. These findings are preliminary yet encouraging. This study has several limitations, particularly given the scarcity of high‐quality randomized controlled trials and marked heterogeneity regarding the type and results of the studies. Hence, the findings of this review should be viewed with considerable reservation.

Tourism development prospects in municipalities of the Russian Federation in the eyes of people
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Rogach Olga V. , Frolova Elena V. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: June 2022

Introduction: the financial constraints of local budgets stimulate the local authorities to search for new opportunities in promoting the tourist attractiveness of the territories. The need to involve local communities into the management practices of tourism develop- ment raises the importance of the study into motivation and assessments of the residents and their readiness to interact with authorities in the sphere of tourism. Objectives: to determine the prospects for tourism development in the Russian Federation municipalities based on the analysis of the population opinions and assessments. Methods: questionnaire survey of the Russian municipalities’ residents. The final sample, spontaneously selected, included municipalities from 28 Russian regions. Results: the obtained results illustrate the confidence of the majority of respondents (64.7 %) in the possibility of attracting tourists to their town / rural settlement. Despite such optimistic opinions, 2/3 of the respondents (66.8 %) believe that promoting tourist attractiveness is a secondary task (the urgent needs to address being hospitals, roads, communal services, etc.). According to those interviewed, the key instruments of tourism development are the tourist infrastructure modernization (49.8 %), creating attractive tourist sites (45.1 %), improving the urban environment quality” (44.8 %). Conclusions: the results of the study showed a contradiction between the public opinion recognition of tourism as the basis for the financial recovery of the territory on the one hand, and the attitude to the costs of developing this industry as irrational due to the presence of unsolved social problems – on the other. The respondents support to the need of involving local residents into building the tourist attractiveness of the territory can be considered a potential opportunity for a wider use of social resources in the local communities and the internal sources of territorial development (traditions, authenticity of cultural patterns, historical heritage, etc.). According to the respondents, tourism development tools are associated with traditional practices that require significant financial investments: the development of tourism infrastructure and tourist attraction sites. Creative ideas on branding the territory or organizing inter-municipal cooperation received less support.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: smart contracts helps solve the problems of intercorporate interaction by providing the possibility of fast and secure automatic transactions. However, the development and application of this digital technology are prevented by a number of factors. Their analysis from the viewpoint of diffusion of innovation theory will allow developing a strategy for managing the growth of this technology. Objectives: to determine the state policy directions in the field of regulation and use of smart contracts based on the systematization of factors that prevent their wide diffusion, and assessment of the influence of key actors associated with the development of this technology. Methods: meta-analysis of studies, survey of 170 Russian companies, comparative analysis, statics and dynamics method, formal-logical method. Results: the article defines the position of smart contracts on the diffusion curve for Russian companies, and systematizes the factors that prevent the wide diffusion of smart contracts by taking into account the characteristics of innovations. Further, the influence of key actors on the diffusion process has been assessed. The state policy directions in the field of regulation and use of smart contracts are determined. Conclusions: in Russia, the only users of smart contracts tend to be innovators and early adopters, while the key factors for diffusion are the characteristics of relative advantage, organizational and institutional compatibility, and risks related to using the technology. The average level of influence of technology developers, the regulator (state authorities) and companies on the diffusion process is approximately the same. The priorities of state policy in the field of regulation and use of smart contracts should be to provide conditions for organizational and institutional compatibility of innovation, reduce the legal risks of using this digital technology, and train personnel.
Review analysis on challenges, opportunities, and implementation strategies for the success of green public procurement, the context of Bhutan
Authors: Suberi Hari Kumar
Published: June 2022

This article explores the descriptive research review on Green Public Procurement Bhutan and enquires about systemic challenges in procurement practices and potential opportunities that tend to influence the development of sustainable consumption and production practice, which is based on the project experience that is documented in the project research reports. The research article adopts partially the design methodology and is defined by the analysis phase of the analysis-projection-synthesis approach to enquire the procurement system, which will define the normative value of the procurement system. From this article, it was identified that the systemic transformation is

pre-requisite for sustainable public procurement deployment, which will require lifestyle transformation. Therefore, extensive stakeholder negotiation is a key aspect of the success of procurement system transformation and will require a multi-methodological worldview to enquire about the current system. The challenges, opportunities, and implementation strategies are context-dependent, which can be seen in the contextual scenario case, and potential for further research endeavors.

ATTEMPTED HOUSEBREAKING WITH INTENT TO COMMIT A CRIME
Authors: Shannon Hoctor
Published: June 2022

The Anglo-American crime of burglary is generally acknowledged as being the basis for the development of the South African crime of housebreaking with the intent to commit a crime. It has been widely accepted that the crime of burglary functions as “a rather unique type of attempt law”. The context for the development of the crime was the traditional limitations on the law of attempt. The South African version of the crime functions in a similar fashion as a sort of inchoate offence, in that it allows for the intervention of criminalliability upon the merest intrusion of a part of the body (or instrument) into premises (following a “breaking” which may be of a technical nature – see discussion in Hoctor “The ‘Breaking’ Requirement in the Crime of Housebreaking with Intent” 1998 Obiter 201ff), provided that such intentional intrusion is accompanied by a further intent to commit an offence within.Moreover, just as Common Law jurisdictions have typically sought to enable criminal intervention at an even earlier stage, through the use of the offence of possession of housebreaking implements, so too South African law has made use of such an offence in the earliest criminal legislation passed at the Cape and by the other South African colonies and states , and still does so today (in terms of the new statutory offence of “failure to give a satisfactory account of the possession of an implement or object”, containedin s 82 of the General Law Third Amendment Act 129 of 1993, discussed in Hoctor “Statutory Housebreaking and Vehicle-breaking” 1999 Obiter 225ff).As Snyman notes, this offence fulfils a valuable function in that it in effect functions to create a form of attempt to break into premises.
REVISITING THE INTERPRETATION OF EXEMPTION CLAUSES Drifters Adventure Tours CC v Hircock 2007 2 SA 83 (SCA)
Authors: Frans Marx  , Avinash Govindjee
Published: June 2022

The influence of the Constitution on the enforceability of exemption clauses contained in contracts has received some attention in the recent jurisprudence and literature on the subject. (Tladi “One Step Forward Two Steps Back for Constitutionalising the Common Law: Afrox Healthcare v Strydom” 2002 2 SA Public Law 473-478; Young “Indemnification Clauses in Multiple Contract Transactions” March 2002 IBL 115-118. Van der Heever “Exclusion of Liability in Private Hospitals” April 2003 De Rebus 47-48; Richardson “Managing HIV/AIDS Impact No Easy Task; Interpreting an Indemnity Clause: Insurance” Jun-Jul 2005 Executive Business Brief 28-29; Hopkins “Exemption Clauses in Contract” June 2007 De Rebus 22-25; and Visser “Drifters Adventures Tours CC v Hircock [2006] SCA 130 (RSA)”2007 1 De Jure 188-193.) In particular, decisions of the Supreme Court of Appeal, the traditional upper custodian of the common law, have drawn much interest and criticism for their apparent failure to approach contractual issues from a constitutional perspective. The recent case of Drifters Adventures Tours CC v Hircock (2007 2 SA 83) provides a further opportunity to obtain some insight into that court’s approach in interpreting exemption clauses in contracts. This note endeavours to analyse the court’s approach and decision in the Drifter’s case against the background of the well-established traditional approach to contractual interpretation as well as recent cases which have raised the role of the Constitution with respect to exemption clauses. A further objective of this paper is to consider the impact of the court’s decisions on the wording which drafters of such clauses choose to use when seeking to protect their clients or themselves.

Authors: J Stock Sarah
Published: June 2022

Study protocol for the paper "Pregnancy outcomes following delta and omicron SARS-CoV-2 infection in Scotland: a population-based cohort study". Background:We aimed to assess and compare short term pregnancy outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 omicron (B.1.1.529) and delta (B.1.617.2) variant infection in pregnancy. Methods:We conducted a national population-based cohort study of women who had SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy between May 17,2021 and January 31, 2022. Outcomes were maternal critical care admissioni) within 21 days of infection and ii) for COVID-19; and preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation), stillbirth, neonatal death and low Apgar score (<7/10; term births only) in births within 28 days of infection. We used time periods when variants were dominant in the general Scottish population, based on 50+% cases being S gene-positive (delta; May 17 - December 14, 2021) or negative (omicron; December 15, 2021 - January 31, 2022)as surrogates for variant infections.Analyses used logistic regression, adjusting for maternal age, deprivation, ethnicity, gestation and vaccination status. Sensitivity analyses included restricting to those with first confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection; and use of time periods where delta and omicron were 90+% dominant. Findings: Compared to infections in the delta period, SARS-Cov-2 infections in pregnancy in the omicron period were associated with lower maternal critical care admission risk (0.26% versus 1.8%; adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR]0.25, 95%Confidence Interval [CI] 0.14-0.44) and preterm birth within 28 days of infection (1.8% versus 4.2%; aOR0.57; 95% CI 0.38-0.87). An association with reduced risk of low Apgar scores was also seen, but there was imprecision around estimates due to low numbers (aOR0.72 95% CI 0.23-2.32) between the two periods.There were fewer stillbirths (2/462; 4.3 per 1000 births versus 13/639; 20.3 per 1000) and neonatal deaths (0/453; 0 per 1000 versus 4/626; 6.3 per 1000]) during the omicron period compared to delta period, but numbers were too small to support adjusted analyses. Findings in sensitivity analyses were similar to main analyses. Interpretation: Pregnant women infected with SAR-2_CoV were less likely less likely to have a preterm birth or maternal critical care admission during the omicron period than during the delta period.

NEGATIVE MARKEDNESS AS SPANISH ANALYTIC ARTICLE AUTHOR STRATEGY (based on authors’ columns of J. Marías and J. Cercas)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, ARTEMOVA Liudmyla
Published: June 2022

This article deals with the Spanish analytic columns written by prominent modern writers J. Marías y J. Cercas for the Sunday supplement of Spanish national quality paper «El País» and one of its main strategies which can be defined as negative focus or a negative frame for presenting their articles. The aim of our investigation was to confirm our hypothesis by analyzing a significant corpus of publications (since 2010 till now) that the negative markedness turns to be a distinctive sigh of this type of analytical writings mostly due to relevant position of its authors in the Spanish literature world and its huge experience as journalists. Being determined by the actual social totally extralinguistic conditions, the preliminary negative evaluation influences on the author election of all language levels means such as lexical, syntactical, first of all, and by combining them in order to increase the pragmatic value of the publication. The author´s idea is expressed by integrating all possible means to transmit the main strategy which intention is to attract the readers´ attention to that particular part of the Spanish reality, to make him/her get interested and involved in the information and, if possible, to influence on his/her attitude to it by the unique interpretation methods used by Marías y Cercas. The negative evaluativity of author column detected even at first glance on semantic level is able to transform into powerful pragmatic tool. The examined material has widely proved that negative evaluative perspective of columns reveals the author´s intention to touch the reader and reach the efficiency by appealing to his emotions and evaluating criteria.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, NIKA Oksana
Published: June 2022

The article analyses the words оtchyzna (fatherland), оіchyzna (homeland) to denote ʻnative landʼ and ʻpatriaʼ, the phrase оtchyzna nebesnaia (fatherland heavenly) «Kingdom of Heaven» in dictionaries and texts of the 17th century. The experience of studying the word / concept / notion / term оtchyzna (fatherland) is characterized according to the historical and philosophical works, research in cognitive linguistics, linguocultural studies. The conclusion about the latent ethnomynicity and semantic hybridity of the concept of оtchyzna (fatherland) is confirmed. The meaning of the word оtchyzna (fatherland) ʻnative landʼ, which denotes the personal, individual space of the subject, оtchyzna (fatherland), оichyzna (homeland) ʻpatriaʼ as a collective-social, interpersonal space for the people who inhabit it. The first of them is associated with the use of Ukrainian nouns zemlia (land), rod (family), dom ottsa (father’s house), pronoun adjective moia (my), adjective vlasnyi (own). Conceptual features specify the place of birth of the subject, parental home, family. side, to society / people. The word оtchyzna (fatherland) ʻpatriaʼ is combined with the attributes of nasha (our), mylaia (dear), functions in a constant expression za сhest bozhuiu (for the honour of God), za viru sviatuiu (for the holy faith), zа оtchyznu myluiu (for the dear homeland), combined with predicates of urodyla (she gave birth to someone), vykhovala (she brought up someone), oboimuiet (she embraces someone), creating a metaphorical series that correlates with the image of the mother. In this sense, dom otchyznyi (fatherland’s house), оtchyzny dom (fatherland’s house), оichyzna (homeland) (the latter – in the first half of the 17th century) are also used. The perception of оtchyzna (fatherland) as a territory to be protected is represented in the semantic relations of “steadily fulfilling one’s civic duty to the fatherland” sluzhyty otchyzni (to serve the fatherland); “to be faithful, devoted to the fatherland” virne sluzhyty (to serve faithfully); “it is necessary to defend the homeland” оtchyznu boronyty (to defend the homeland), prolyvaty krov (to shed blood), “civic duty dominates personal values”. Conceptual features are verbalized as «volnost оtchyzny» («freedom of the fatherland»), «tsilisnist оtchyzny» («the integrity of the fatherland»), «pozhytechnist nauky dlia оtchyzny» («the usefulness of science for the fatherland»), «liubov оtchyzny» («the love of the fatherland»), defined as the collective and social values of Ukrainians of the 17th century.
Prevention of Deviant Behavior of Adolescents with Mental Retardation by Correcting Their Psycho-Emotional State and Developing the Abilities of Self-Expression and Self-Knowledge
Authors: Zamyatkina I.M.
Published: June 2022

The paper describes and analyzes the methods of socialization of adolescents with mental retardation. Such a retardation is an acute actual problem due to similar features of the psycho-emotional sphere of this category of adolescents, and is exacerbated by the high prevalence of this developmental disorder. The prevention of deviant behavior through the correction of the psycho-emotional state of adolescents and the development of their ability for self-expression and self-knowledge through contact with art is considered. To achieve this goal, within the framework of the program “Beauty is inside me”, a set of game development and rehabilitation equipment “Mozartika” was used by the author-developer P.E. Russavskaya. The experience associated with using the purpose sets of game is also described in the article. In addition, a study of the results of the program implementation is presented. It allows us to conclude what conditions should be created for adolescents to live an emotionally positive experience, how to stimulate positively directed forms of their activity (creativity, independence in solving problems, restraining negative reactions, etc.), and, consequently, how to create conditions for prevention of deviant behavior in adolescents with mental retardation.

A Comprehensive Model of Prevention of Deviant Behavior through the Formation of a Positive and «Stable Self-Concept» (on the Example of Implementation in the Sverdlovsk Region)
Authors: Shempeleva N.I. , Trifonova N.I. , Bulatova N.A.
Published: June 2022

The article describes a model for preventing deviant behavior among minors, which is being developed and implemented in the Sverdlovsk Region. The model presented is based on the concept of “Self-concept” as a relatively stable, to a greater or lesser degree perceived system of ideas of an individual about himself/herself, on the basis of which he/she treats him/herself and builds his/her interaction with other people. The purpose of the juvenile deviant behavior prevention model implementation is a steady decrease in the level of manifestation of such behavior and its early prevention. The basis for the confident achievement of this goal is the formation of a stable “Self-concept” in the juveniles. This model covers the period of personality formation from birth to adulthood and combines the efforts of parents, teachers, social workers and authorities in order to ensure the formation of personality with developed self-awareness, taking into account the need for intersystem and intradepartmental interaction, with mandatory monitoring of the effectiveness of goal achievement at all stages and timely corrective actions. Tools of prevention and early detection of juvenile behavioral disorders are early intervention services, advisory services, psychological-medical-pedagogical commissions, social-psychological testing. Thus, the model is equally aimed at working with minors at all stages of personality formation, as well as with parents and teachers directly involved in the process of personality formation. Herewith, for each of target groups within the limits of realization of the model the corresponding purposes and problems which solution provides controllable achievement of result are provided.
Inadequate rehabilitation after multi-level revascularization as a risk factor of low quality of life
Authors: Glushkov Nikolay I. , Puzdriak Petr D. , Ivanov Mikhail A. , Chizhova Kseniya A. , Agurbash Anastasiya N.
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Reconstructive surgery of multilevel lesions in peripheral atherosclerosis has been undergoing changes over the past decades. The spectrum of such interventions includes conventional, endovascular and hybrid technologies. Due to the fact that the main goal of treatment is to preserve the limb, the outcome of the surgical intervention directly affects the quality of patients life; however, there is insufficient data in the literature on the tactics of postoperative rehabilitation of patients who underwent surgery for a multilevel lesion. Randomized clinical trials aimed at studying the effectiveness of walk training and rehabilitation measures demonstrate an increase in walking distance in people with peripheral atherosclerosis against the background of controlled physical exertion.
АIM: To assess the effect of rehabilitation program on the vital activity levels in the patients who suffered from multilevel peripheral arterial disease in a long-term period after revascularization.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 216 patients with MPAD who underwent various lower limb revascularization, including 87 patients with hybrid interventions, 81 open surgery and 48 with endovascular interventions. The patients have been examined both in perioperative and postoperative periods as well as in a long-term period (36 months) after reconstruction. Depending on the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the proposed rehabilitation program, such indicators as limb preservation, walking distance and quality of patients life have been evaluated in accordance with the EQ-5D questionnaire.
RESULTS: In the early postoperative period, a decrease in the number of thrombosis of the operated segment has been registered in the group of hybrid interventions in comparison with the results in the group with open operations. In the long-term period after the operation, the use of complex rehabilitation measures allowed to reduce the number of amputations and stabilize the maximum walking distance. Walk training provided the necessary level of quality of life, which, in most cases, has been recorded in the patients who underwent hybrid interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: The composition and fullness of rehabilitation program is a circumstance affecting long-term outcomes after reconstructive vascular interventions. The exclusion of walk training from the rehabilitation program does not allow achieving the maximum frequency of limb preservation, increasing the walking distance and improving the quality of life of patients suffering from multilevel lesion of the arteries of the lower extremities.

La primera policía política franquista para las últimas ciudades republicanas: Los Destacamentos Especiales del SIPM (enero-septiembre de 1939)
Authors: Píriz González Carlos
Published: June 2022

Este artículo analiza los Destacamentos Especiales que el Servicio de Información y Policía Militar (SIPM), la agencia de inteligencia militar franquista, instauró a lo largo del primer tercio de 1939. Su función era gestionar desde el ámbito policial y represivo las ocupaciones de las últimas grandes ciudades republicanas. Surgieron por la praxis bélica durante el proceso de control de esos espacios urbanos modernos, los cuales significaron un experimento inédito para las tropas invasoras. En primer lugar, se encargaron de reestablecer las redes de las distintas organizaciones clandestinas de simpatizantes que les esperaban emboscados en su interior. Es decir, de reorganizar la Quinta Columna, cuyo personal era el único tácitamente depurado al haber colaborado con los servicios de información rebeldes durante los meses, cuando no años, anteriores. En segundo lugar, desplegaron las incipientes tareas policiales desde la inmediata ocupación hasta el asentamiento de la administración dictatorial en esas plazas. La presente investigación se apoya empírica y mayoritariamente en la documentación generada por el propio SIPM, hoy custodiada en el Archivo General Militar de Ávila. A ella se suman otros legajos de distintos centros documentales. Los mismos permiten afirmar que esos Destacamentos Especiales fueron la primera policía política franquista de Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia y Cartagena. También que su presencia derivó en numerosos conflictos internos por la gestión y el control del orden público urbano con otras tantas instituciones creadas o encargadas al efecto. Y, por último, que su existencia difumina, aún más si cabe, el límite entre la guerra y la posguerra.
La política de inmigración argentina en la era de las migraciones masivas (1876-1932)
Authors: Sánchez Alonso Blanca
Published: June 2022

Argentina se suele presentar como un ejemplo de país abierto a la inmigración masiva entre 1876 y la Gran Depresión. El trabajo intenta responder a dos preguntas: (1) si existieron razones económicas para restringir la inmigración, ¿por qué Argentina no siguió el ejemplo de los Estados Unidos, especialmente en la década de 1920?, y (2) si Argentina era un caso clásico de un sistema político dominado por los grandes propietarios de tierra e industriales, ¿por qué se introdujeron algunas medidas restrictivas a la inmigración a lo largo del tiempo? El trabajo explica las contradicciones de la política migratoria argentina centrándose en las peculiaridades de su sistema de participación política y en los intereses contradictorios de los grupos políticos. Las peculiaridades del sistema político argentino hacían muy difícil que los intereses de los trabajadores se trasladaran al Parlamento. Los trabajadores hubieran mejorado su posición con menos inmigrantes, pero la mayoría de ellos eran extranjeros no naturalizados y, por tanto, no participaban en las elecciones ni podían elegir a sus representantes. Su descontento se materializó a través de conflictos sociales y laborales que alarmaron a los grupos más beneficiados por la inmigración, que controlaban la representación política. Y, paradójicamente, fue el temor al conflicto social el que generó desde el poder las restricciones a la inmigración, intentando hacerlas compatibles con la persistencia de una política abierta.

Deformations and stresses during the transport and manipulation of large ship blocks within ship assembly and erection stages are a common and significant issue, particularly in the construction of complex ships and variable production mix, as is the case in many European shipyards. The appearance of deformations and stresses requires adequate addressing with the aim of their early determination and reduction with a goal to reduce a significant number of working hours spent for the large ship blocks transport preparation, for the transport and manipulation itself, and for the reworks. The appearance of residual stress in blocks that are not adequately addressed can be an issue in the exploitation, reducing the quality and ship service life. In this paper, the authors present the procedure of determining deformations and stresses in the large ship block. The procedure is based on computer modelling and numerical analysis of the selected ship block. Various scenarios of the foundations' arrangement and the arrangement of the transport hooks were analysed, and the optimal solutions were proposed. The procedure allows determining deformations and stresses at an early stage of ship technology design to define the adequate preparation for ship block foundations layout, transportation and manipulation before production starts. In doing so, it is expected to reduce deformations and stresses itself, necessary working hours for block accommodation, transportation and manipulation and to reduce repair works. Such procedure application is expected to raise the efficiency of the overall ship production process and the quality of the final product. Finally, further research is proposed regarding various scenarios of technological procedures, ship blocks structures or used materials.

An important aspect of introducing hybrid or all-electric ferries on coastlines is to analyze the supporting land-based energy infrastructure to determine if it is possible to implement charging systems that such vessels rely on. The battery energy storage systems on such vessels will need to be rapidly recharged as passengers and vehicles disembark, which means that the flow of electricity through the distribution grid will be much higher and may lead to power quality issues on the local grid. Once implemented, shore connection and battery charging systems must be safe for both people and connected equipment. The issue of implementing shore connections needs to be analyzed from a technical, economic, and legal perspective. This paper presents the challenges and problems of implementing charging stations for ferries in Croatian ports as a result of the research conducted within the project METRO - Maritime Environment-Friendly Transport Systems.

Background: Healthcare professionals’ perception of Interdisciplinary Education is an essential factor that affects their acceptance of this approach to education. From the literature related to patient safety, it has been identified widely that healthcare team communication and performance are critical to providing safe care to the patient. Poor organization and team dynamics among healthcare professionals appear to impact the safety and quality of patient care. The lack of Interdisciplinary Education in healthcare institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia negatively impacts the work dynamics of the healthcare team. Results: The study results showed that the majority of health care workers showed a high awareness level for IPE. Therefore, female nurses who have been working in special units and have experience of more than five years are perceived more than other specialties. Also, health workers in special units showed a higher percentage than in the general wards, and females were ready more than males. Only one item helped to determine the differences in perception which is the “perceived need for cooperation”. Conclusions: IPC should be initiated by universities than by health organizations starting at the level of leaders of medicine, nursing, and other disciplines who should be aware of the importance of IPC that would benefit patients as well as health institutions. Leaders must take IPC cooperation seriously by putting it into consideration in the vision of departments and thus starting to establish small-cooperated teams, which include various specialties.

In this fast-paced lifestyle with escalating cases of anxiety and depression, millennial are trying to find meaning in life and at work. The presence of high-octane electronic media both in millennial’ personal & professional life is making them more anxious about their career and personal beliefs. There is a belief that a person who exhibits spiritual intelligence is most likely to achieve a sense of job satisfaction in life. Various MNCs are organizing many programs to develop and enhance the employee’s spiritual intelligence. This paper focuses on millennial working in the Defense and IT field with empirical study to analyze the influence of spiritual intelligence on their job satisfaction. Dhamodharan and Ravikumar mention that millennial, born in the period between 1981-1995, witnessed consumerism and technological advancement worldwide. People born in this era were less exposed to traditional religious teaching due to changing social-cultural values; hence they indulge in spirituality to balance their lifestyle to optimize the basic value of life. Emmons mentions that “SI is a blend of internal & external structure: spirituality being an internal structure and intelligence as an external structure to create a new structure which evolves the person with remarkable capacities to practically use their spirituality on their everyday basis.”

Sleep is the most important but often neglected element of an individual’s overall health and well-being. Lack of sleep or poor sleep can adversely affect health in an individual and lead to various diseases. At the same time, sleep problems are not uncommon among students. The factors leading to poor sleep among management students who have a comparatively tight schedule are still unclear. The paper aims to understand the factors leading to poor sleep among management students. The study has been focused on the management students (MBA’s) studying in the different management colleges of the state of Maharashtra. A total of 297 management students were surveyed. Apart from factor analysis, the Kessler distress scale was used for Measuring Psychological distress.52% of the respondents fell in the category of likely to have a mental disorder. Managements can draw inference from this and implement strategies to make sure this number reduces.

Authors: Patil A. , Sharma P.
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this research is to understand the changes in internship dynamics of MBA students in 2020 who undertook virtual full-time internships as compared to previous years when interns were required to be present physically. Sample was collected from two set of interns; one set interns were working through virtual internship and the second set were working on traditional model of on- site internship. For data collection, structured questionnaire was used. Data was collected on various parameters of internship processes and experience. The result from the current findings suggests that the experience of both set of interns differ significantly. This paper will essentially evaluate whether virtual full-time internships have been able to contribute, create & shape internship experience effectively for interns & understand which dimensions such as learning, productivity, communication, etc have seen changes due to the nature of work being changed. Research material in this area is limited, mainly due to students experiencing a remote working style in their internships for the first time which is why this research will be quite valuable for various stakeholders.
