COMBATING CORRUPTION AS A FACTOR OF UNSHADOWING OF THE UKRAINIAN ECONOMY IN THE CONDITIONS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, MORDAS Iryna
Published: November 2024

Background . Under the conditions of martial law in Ukraine, there is an increase in corruption risks, which in turn negatively affects the level of shadowing of the national economy. Therefore, the effectiveness of the economic policy of the state during the war and the post-war period largely depends on the detinization and anti-corruption mechanisms due to the interdependence and interdependence of these processes. At the same time, one of the conditions for granting Ukraine EU membership is to strengthen Ukrainian anti-corruption legislation and bring it into line with European standards. Methods . A complex of general scientific and special research methods was used: analytical, historical, comparative, systematization, classification, generalization. Results . The general trends and causes of the shadow economy in Ukraine are analyzed. The influence of corruption aspects on the shadow sector of the economy is studied. The growth of the share of the shadow economy in Ukraine under the conditions of martial law has been established. Factors restraining the process of detinization of the economy of Ukraine have been identified. The Anti-corruption Strategy for 2021–2025 and the directions of state policy in the priority sectors of public administration, which it defines, were analyzed, namely: courts, prosecutor's office and law enforcement agencies; state regulation of Economy; public and private sectors of the economy; taxes and customs; construction, land relations and infrastructure; defense sector; the sphere of health care, education and science and social protection. The implementation mechanism and subjects of coordination of the Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2021–2025 have been determined. The expected consequences of its successful implementation are foreseen. It was noted that the Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2021–2025 is an extremely important step in the direction of the European integration movement of Ukraine and a powerful tool for reducing the level of corruption as a factor in the shadowing of the national economy. Conclusions . The directions of the state policy of Ukraine regarding the prevention and counteraction of corruption with the aim of minimizing the level of the shadow economy in the conditions of European integration have been determined. It was established that the state policy in the direction of reducing the level of corruption in Ukraine should be one of the main aspects of the state's activity, which will promote transparency and reduce the level of the shadow economy, which will eventually provide opportunities for the post-war recovery of Ukraine and the fastest possible full membership of Ukraine in the EU.
CHARACTERISTICS OF STATE POLICY IN THE FIELD OF BIOENERGY: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR UKRAINE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, SAMBULOV Andrii
Published: November 2024

Background . Renewable energy is energy obtained from renewable or inexhaustible energy sources. Such sources include the energy of the sun and water flows, wind, tides, geothermal sources, and biofuels. State policy in bioenergy is unique for each country and is determined by the specifics of economic development and natural and climatic conditions. At the same time, similar approaches can be identified in supporting bioenergy development: increased tariffs for the sale of energy, subsidies, tax benefits, etc. Taking national characteristics into account is often a key to the successful functioning of the national energy system. Basically, the policy of the states consists of creating economic incentives and formulating target indicators for energy development and emission reduction. Research object. The research object was the instruments of state policies in the field of bioenergy based on the example of the European Union (EU), the USA, and China. Methods . The publication is based on the use of various methods. Thus, the research methodology was based on general scientific methods, such as abstract and logical – to define the essence of bioenergy, system analysis, synthesis and comparison method – to reveal the essence of state policy in the field of bioenergy in different countries. Special methods, namely the structural-functional approach, were used to present the main mechanisms of state policy in the field of bioenergy; the analytical method was used to identify the criteria for the effectiveness of state policy in the field of bioenergy. Results . The analysis of the issue of state policy in the field of bioenergy allowed the author to achieve the research goal and show the importance of state policy tools for the state to create a favorable environment for the effective functioning of bioenergy. Consideration of the current state of scientific development of the problem of state policy in the field of bioenergy, analysis of foreign experience in the formation and implementation of state policy in the field of bioenergy, and determination of criteria for the effectiveness of state policy in the field of bioenergy contributed to the achievement of the specified goal. The role of Ukraine in global energy security and politics was noted. The author presented the main mechanisms of state policy in bioenergy. Among the criteria for the effectiveness of state policy in bioenergy, valuable, economic, regulatory, innovative, and relative criteria were identified. Сonclusions . Thus, understanding the mechanisms of state policy in the field of bioenergy and the use of certain criteria for its assessment will allow for the improvement of the relevant policy in Ukraine.
The role of computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of an intracardiac mass of the mitral valve: a case series
Authors: Onoyko Maria V. , Mershina Elena A. , Arakelyants Amalia A. , Sinitsyn Valentin E.
Published: November 2024

The differential diagnosis of an echocardiographically detected intracardiac mass in the mitral annulus can be challenging and usually requires a multimodal approach. This type of lesion is very often associated with subvalvular calcification of the mitral valve. The rare, caseous, variant is the most difficult to diagnose. This case series highlights the clinical significance of computed tomography in detecting and characterizing subvalvular mitral annular calcification when other modalities, particularly echocardiography, are inconclusive. The aim of this article was to raise awareness among specialists of the classic signs of caseous subvalvular calcification of the mitral annulus when visualized with different modalities. Special attention is also given to providing a differential diagnostic series that identifies features that differentiate subvalvular calcification of the mitral annulus from other conditions at this site. Healthcare professionals need to be aware of these mitral valve lesions in order to predict possible associated complications and plan a treatment strategy that may help avoid unnecessary surgical procedures in some cases.
Evidence for Low Effective Stress Within the Crust of the Subducted Gorda Plate from the 2022 December Mw 6.4 Ferndale Earthquake Sequence
Authors: Guo Hao , Atterholt James W. , McGuire Jeffrey J. , Thurber Clifford
Published: November 2024

Stress levels on and adjacent to megathrust faults at seismogenic depths remain a key but difficult-to-constrain parameter for assessing seismic hazard in subduction zones. Although strong ground motions have been observed to be generated from distinct, high-stress regions on the down-dip end of the megathrust rupture areas in many great earthquakes, we lack direct constraints on the stress level in the lower seismogenic portion of the Cascadia megathrust. On 20 December 2022, an Mw 6.4 strike-slip earthquake occurred near Ferndale, California, in southern Cascadia and likely ruptured the Gorda slab crust in the lower seismogenic portion, providing an opportunity to assess the stress level in this region. Here, we relocate the Ferndale mainshock and the first two weeks of aftershocks using a high-resolution 3D velocity model and estimate rupture dimensions, directivity, and stress drop for several Mw 4–5 aftershocks and recent earthquakes. The aftershocks define a strike-slip fault in the slab crust striking east-northeast, consistent with the mainshock focal mechanism. The orientation of this fault is about 45° off the ideally oriented fault plane given the stress state in the slab. The aftershock zone is extensive and broad in the forward direction of the mainshock rupture but still constrained within the volume of high VP/VS in the slab crust. Our stress-drop estimates are generally lower for Mw 4–5 earthquakes located in the slab crust compared to those a few kilometers deeper in the slab mantle. Combined, our results support a relatively low effective stress level in the vicinity of the megathrust in the lower portion of the seismogenic zone in southern Cascadia, likely due to elevated fluid pressures. Consequently, the ground motion in the onshore region above this low-stress seismogenic portion in southern Cascadia may not be as intense as that observed during great earthquakes in other subduction zones.
Scaffolding — Aportes para a Construção e Sustentação de Projetos de Vida de Jovens em Contexto Periférico
Authors: Arapiraca-Galvão Ayla , Marsico Giuseppina
Published: November 2024

The need to choose, define, or plan for future issues is culturally related to youth. Young people from the peripheries move between restrictions and possibilities, and these transitions should be considered part of the process of building their life projects. This work aimed to analyze the factors that contribute to the construction and realization of life projects of young people. A qualitative and ethnographic research was carried out using participant observation, walk-along interviews, and the photovoice method. Six young people between 14 and 16 years of age who were part of a social education project in a peripheral neighborhood in Salvador, Brazil, participated in the study. The data obtained were categorized and discussed based on the cultural psychology of education. The work made it possible to identify elements that operate as scaffolding and offer support for the construction of these young people’s life projects.
La zotea: saberes performados, territorios afro y experiencias ontológico-estéticas en la escuela
Authors: Castro-Hernández Edison Rafael , Moreno-Castañeda David Santiago , Enríquez-Muñoz Mayeli , Alba-Sedano David
Published: November 2024

This article explores the reflections on and ways of appropriation of a critical intercultural process approaching the practices and knowledge of Afro-Colombian peoples through the virtual, narrative, and physical resignification of zoteas or ancestral community gardens by Afro-Pacific populations at schools in Bogotá. An emerging process was identified through ethnographic recording in an intensive diary and student audiovisual content production on Afro-diasporic and indigenous peoples; there, the articulation of ancestral practices with experimental artistic disciplines, such as performance, shed light on other ancestral knowledge. This intervention builds bridges that connect the process with contemporary expressions of the Afro worldview such as “re-existences,” “vivir sabroso” or “intimate sufficiencies” and allowed us to question and gradually transform the organization of time, space, and roles in the construction of knowledge and meaning at school.
El diseño de proyectos educativos en contextos comunitarios. Un estudio de caso en Celrà (Cataluña, España)
Authors: Boned Paula , Gubern Elisabet , Quintana Elisenda , Esteban-Guitart Moisès
Published: November 2024

Previous works have shown the need to contextualize learning in community settings to strengthen identity and social cohesion in culturally diverse contexts. Recently, the “Community Funds of Knowledge and Identity” approach has been suggested with the dual purpose of linking school work with the local context and fostering shared identifications; however, its implementation process has not been described. The objective of this design-based research was to illustrate the creation of an educational project by a study group formed by different social, educational, and community agents in the municipality of Celrà (Catalonia, Spain). Results show the need to foster ecological leadership, recognize previous work, and set a community milestone to articulate the collaborative work. Implications for school and public policies in education derived from the study are also discussed.

Mutación y debilitamiento de lo progresista. De la izquierda social a la izquierda cultural
Authors: Burgaya Josep
Published: November 2024

El artículo discute la creciente fractura que se advierte entre una izquierda “material”, de crítica y confrontación de aspectos y efectos sustantivos del capitalismo contemporáneo –empobrecimiento y desigualdades masivas, deterioro urbano, etc.- y una izquierda “identitaria” de derivación crecientemente individualista. Las políticas de izquierda así concebidas se presentan como creando nuevos derechos, sin sustento en las configuraciones estructurales sobre las que se asientan y de los efectos que generan. Estas mutaciones diluyen toda noción de solidaridad, de bienestar compartido, de reciprocidad, de limitaciones a las capacidades de satisfacer deseos y a la necesidad de aceptar determinados sacrificios en pro de lo colectivo, que constituían rasgos constitutivos de la izquierda “material”. Como resultado la izquierda y sus gobiernos resultan atrapados en un laberinto creciente individuación de lo social, en el doble marco de un capitalismo y una democracia en crisis.
Use of Technology in EFL Classroom: A Study to Evaluate the Training Needs of Teachers in Line with Saudi Vision 2030
Authors: Rezaul Karim Mohammad , Hasan Moin
Published: November 2024

This research study attempts to investigate and evaluate the training needs of teachers in the EFL context while using technology to meet the desired learning outcomes. This is an exciting area to investigate as it would provide an insight into the psyche of the EFL instructors. The primary objective of this research work is to review the challenges encountered by the university faculties while using technology and to determine methods that can contribute to resolving these problems. The study is thoroughly based on a few premises, such as language teachers needing to be trained more to deal with the rapid development of technology and still relying on traditional teaching methods with little or no use of technology in and outside the classrooms. These challenges can be attributed to various factors, such as a lack of proper training modules for language teachers and a lack of motivation to learn and incorporate technology in their teaching methodology. Furthermore, the current research shall enhance the technological competence of EFL instructors to meet the desired learning outcomes of English language programs in line with Saudi Vision 2030. A mixed-methods strategy was used in the study to collect data on the demands of EFL teachers in Saudi Arabian higher education, integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results indicate a strong interest in learning new technologies to enhance classroom engagement and show a dire need to develop a training module for the instructors to enhance the technological competence of EFL instructors.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates the challenges of implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka in the disadvantaged, remote, and outermost (3T) areas of Maluku. The significance of this research lies in addressing the geographic, infrastructural, and educational accessibility issues in these 3T areas, which can hinder the effective implementation of the Curriculum. The research employs a descriptive qualitative methodology. The study engaged 40 respondents, including school principals, teachers from both public and private schools, training facilitators, and assistant program implementers. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and were then analyzed to identify recurring patterns, problems, challenges, and obstacles faced during implementation. The results indicate that despite their dedication to implementing the curriculum, nearly all schools struggle with the execution of the Kurikulum Merdeka. The main challenge identified is the inadequacy of teachers in designing and carrying out learning activities as required by the curriculum. This issue arises from various factors, including limited access to technology, insufficient training for principals and teachers, shortcomings in the mentoring mechanisms, and a lack of digital literacy among educators. Consequently, the government's mandate to implement this curriculum in all schools should be preceded by comprehensive preparation. Emphasis should be placed on enhancing teachers' capabilities through training sessions and workshops focused on planning, executing, and evaluating learning activities. Additionally, providing sufficient facilities and fostering a supportive learning environment are essential aspects that must be addressed.

Authors: Leasa Marleny , Pelamonia Johanes , Talakua Melvie , Batlolona Rafafy
Published: November 2024

In the 21st century era, students learn not only to live now but also to live in the future, which is full of dynamics and the surge of globalization. Schools should strive to create a social-emotional environment that supports the development of students' emotional aspects, including by implementing relevant social-emotional learning. Emotional literacy with problem-based learning (PBL) and homogeneity psycho cognition (HPC) learning programs is an unexplored research field in Indonesia, especially in biological science learning in elementary schools and even at higher levels. This research was conducted to explore PBL programs and emotional literacy in depth. This research aims to examine the influence of the PBL learning model with HPC strategies on the emotional literacy of elementary school students in Ambon City. This research is quasi-experimental research, where emotional literacy is the dependent variable and the PBL learning model while HPC strategies is the independent variable. The research results show that there is no difference in emotional literacy between the treatment groups. This means that the implementation of the 2013 curriculum and the Merdeka curriculum in elementary schools have made positive contribution to the learning and emotional environment of elementary school students. Thus, any learning model no longer affects students' emotional literacy. Keywords: emotional literacy, PBL with HPC strategy, emotional environment, elementary schools

Published: November 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic, which has been global for 3 years, tends to have a domino effect in various aspects, such as individuals, groups, and countries. One of the causes of decreased immune system in the host is due to comorbid diseases suffered by the host (patients). Those at risk of Covid-19 may also be at risk of infectious diseases caused by viruses, parasites, and bacteria. In a pandemic situation like Covid-19, health behavior change education with a risk communication approach needs to be implemented in preventing, treating, and rehabilitating environmental stages of worm infection risk in the community of Osi Island hamlet. This education aims to increase public knowledge of potential health risks and threats. Thus, they can determine appropriate steps and actions to protect themselves from these issues. The method used is education with the project-based learning model, which combines lecture, discussion, and field practice methods. The target group is high school students of PGRI Pelita Jaya Seram Western Part. The achieved results are that the JUMANTIK cadres know about malaria-free health (cognitive), can collect trash (containers) from yards (psychomotor), do not allow stagnant water (affective), can drain water storage containers inside and around the house (psychomotor), can make simple mosquito traps using recycled materials, can sleep under mosquito nets (psychomotor), can observe larvae and pupae (psychomotor).

Development of Understanding the Concept of Opportunity Through Kulibia Game with Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) Approach
Authors: Laurens Theresia , Tamalene Hanisa , Tentua Fando
Published: November 2024

Learning mathematics with a mechanistic approach results in being difficult for students to understand. Opportunity, as one of the mathematics contents, requires a learning process, which involves hands-on activities in teaching. Students were grouped according to their abilities based on the differences in students’ understanding through diagnostic assessment in the concept of differentiated learning, and through differentiation of content. Teaching at the right level (TaRL) is a differentiated learning technique, considered appropriate, to be applied in an effort to control student activities by utilizing Kulibia media as a learning context. Kulibia is one of the marine biota usually found by people on the coast and is used as one of the traditional games for children in Maluku. Through this game, students’ understanding of the concept of chance can be developed. The participants of this study were 8th grade students in Phase D, a total of 28 students. The data analysis technique used was one sample mean difference test. The results of data analysis prove that H0 is accepted meaning that the average understanding of the concept of chance exceeds the minimum completeness criteria of 70. Analysis of understanding shows that high-group students have a better understanding than students in other groups.

PRÁTICAS POLICIAIS AUTORITÁRIAS NO CONTROLE PENAL PÓS-DEMOCRÁTICO: um retrato midiático
Authors: Dias Felipe da Veiga , Santos Lucas da Silva
Published: November 2024

O tema do estudo é a polícia brasileira e suas práticas no controle social. Parte-se do seguinte problema: os casos midiáticos de atuações policiais analisados nesta pesquisa expõem uma intensificação de práticas autoritárias no atual cenário democrático? A práxis que orienta as atuações policiais estão imbricadas no processo destas manifestações autoritárias? Adota-se o método hipotético-dedutivo junto a meta-análise empírico-qualitativa e a técnica de pesquisa da documentação indireta. O estudo parte de considerações mais abrangentes sobre as organizações policiais nacionais e o seu papel nas estratégias de controle social, para que posteriormente se torne viável um aprofundamento a partir da leitura de casos concretos (delimitados nas situações de Filipe e Arquidones), os quais trazem à tona processos de violência, autoritarismo e outras nuances das práticas penais brasileiras. Conclui-se que neste contexto de frágil democracia, os casos de Filipe e Arquidones, demonstram um aprofundamento de uma condição ancestral de violências policiais, as situações noticiadas neste ensaio revelam como as rotinas penais, especialmente as cristalizadas no poder de polícia, estão fundadas em uma práxis intrinsicamente autoritária, desigual e racista.
RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL E NASCIMENTO INDESEJADO DE FILHOS: um estudo inspirado na leitura do livro “A menina de vidro”
Authors: Lima Ana Beatriz de Carvalho , Cioatto Roberta Marina
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho aborda a possibilidade de aplicação da responsabilidade civil pelo nascimento indesejado de filhos. Situação esta que emerge quando métodos contraceptivos utilizados falham e com isso acontece uma gestação indesejada, bem como quando erros médicos ou laboratoriais no diagnóstico de anomalias fetais comprometem o direito da mulher em interromper a gestação. “A Menina de Vidro” relata a história de Willow, criança nascida com osteogênese imperfeita, doença que causa extrema fragilidade em seus ossos e que a faz sofrer centenas de fraturas ao longo da vida. E se a mãe soubesse antecipadamente da doença de Willow? E se as coisas pudessem ter sido diferentes? E se Willow nunca tivesse nascido? Deste modo, o problema desta pesquisa: Qual a relação do livro “A Menina de Vidro” com as Wrongful Actions para ensejar responsabilidade civil? O objetivo geral do trabalho foi investigar a relação do livro “A Menina de Vidro” com as Wrongful Actions de modo a ensejar a responsabilidade civil em caso de nascimento indesejado de filhos. Como objetivos específicos: contar a história “A Menina de Vidro”, conceituar as diferentes espécies de Wrongful Actions e identificar a Wrongful Actions referida no livro. Trata-se de pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico, recorrendo-se a uma narrativa literária para o realização de estudo de caso.

O artigo aborda a possibilidade de adoção de critérios objetivos aos programas de cumprimento pelas pessoas jurídicas exploradoras do agronegócio no contexto brasileiro, tomando por base a legislação espanhola. A lei Anticorrupção brasileira introduziu no ordenamento jurídico a adoção do compliance às pessoas jurídicas, contudo, sem estabelecer critérios que impliquem em atestar sua eficácia, em que poderá ter reflexos na ampliação das sanções. Ao final, será apresentado um contorno inicial do que poderá ser um rol para a verificação da eficácia do programa de cumprimento adotado pela pessoa jurídica.
COMO EU ERA ANTES DE VOCÊ: uma perspectiva do suicídio medicamente assistido a partir da literatura
Authors: Dias Raquel Brito Francelino , Cioatto Roberta Marina
Published: November 2024

O suicídio medicamente assistido é o instituto no qual o paciente, de forma intencional, com sofrimento insuportável em decorrência de enfermidade terminal sem perspectiva de melhora, põe fim à sua vida, sendo o próprio enfermo a praticar o ato resultante da morte, com ajuda médica. O referido instituto pode ser encontrado em obras literárias, as quais trazem em seu roteiro questões importantes do cotidiano, auxiliando pessoas a refletirem sobre temas como o debatido no presente trabalho e abrindo espaço para discussões jurídicas. Isto posto, o problema desta pesquisa: como a narrativa literária Como Eu Era Antes de Você pode apresentar reflexões sobre o suicídio medicamente assistido e suas perspectivas no cenário jurídico brasileiro? O objetivo: examinar o suicídio medicamente assistido utilizando o cenário literário exposto na obra Como Eu Era Antes de Você, com referências à Inglaterra e à Suíça, países onde ocorre a trama, e sobre o tratamento dispensado pela ordem legal brasileira ao instituto. Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográfica, classificada como qualitativa e descritiva, trazendo como o suicídio medicamente assistido é visto na ordem legal e como é exposto na obra literária apresentada. É relevante aprofundar-se na matéria, devendo ser levado em consideração que pleitos pelo suicídio assistido em muitos países estão sendo cada vez mais noticiados. Igualmente, fazer a relação entre o direito e a literatura, mais especificamente o direito na literatura, uma área de pesquisa que vem se destacando no Brasil. O suicídio assistido é temática presente no pensamento de pessoas que se imaginam diante de dores e sofrimentos insuportáveis decorrentes de doença sem cura. Estes doentes consideram que sua vida não é mais digna de ser vivida em tais condições. Como Eu Era Antes de Você, de Jojo Moyes, conta o caso de um jovem britânico que vivencia esta situação, bem como relata o sentimento das pessoas em seu entorno. Como na obra estudada, jornais expõem a realidade de pessoas com o mesmo intento, mas nenhuma notícia tem o poder que tem a literatura de influenciar na reflexão individual de cada qual sobre vivenciar a realidade do outro. O estudo de referida obra apresenta a temática tanto da opção pelo suicídio assistido como da negativa dos familiares do enfermo em aceitar sua decisão, o que pode contribuir para a reflexão sobre o instituto.
O CADASTRO POSITIVO DE CONSUMIDORES E O SUPERENDIVIDAMENTO DO IDOSO: uma análise da sociedade de consumo a partir do mundo líquido de Zygmunt Bauman
Authors: Steffens Bárbara Michele Kunde
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo analisa o fenômeno do consumismo no século XXI e de que forma os cadastros positivos têm influenciado na concessão de crédito e contribuído para o superendividamento dos idosos, uma vez que a aquisição de bens, produtos e serviços são uma forma de negação da velhice. Assim, o problema que se procura responder é: em face da vulnerabilidade agravada do idoso frente à concessão facilitada de crédito amparada em cadastros positivos pode levá-lo ao consumismo e, consequentemente, ao superendividamento? Para tanto o artigo contém três tópicos. Primeiramente tratará da conceituação do crédito, sua relevância nas relações de consumo, bem como sua contribuição para o superendividamento. Em sequência, o segundo tópico analisará a legislação relativa ao cadastro positivo, posteriormente alterada pela Lei Complementar 166/2019. Com base nos conceitos abordados anteriormente, será analisada a influência dos bancos de dados no direcionamento da oferta de crédito aos idosos e suas possíveis consequências. Para responder ao problema a investigação empregou o método de abordagem dedutivo, e procedimento monográfico, utilizando a pesquisa bibliográfica, concluindo que os bancos de dados de bons pagadores são ferramentas utilizadas para o direcionamento da oferta agressiva do crédito ao consumidor idoso, agravando sua vulnerabilidade, podendo levá-lo ao superendividamento.
Planowanie miast
Authors: Abbott Carl , Sokołowicz Mariusz E.
Published: November 2024

Krótkie wprowadzenie do planowania miast stanowi przegląd rozwoju tej dziedziny wiedzy i akcentuje jej ważną rolę w coraz bardziej zurbanizowanym świecie. Odwołuje się przede wszystkim do dorobku architektury i urbanistyki, choć zawiera także nawiązania do ekonomii i socjologii miast oraz do zagadnień ekologicznych. Fascynująca opowieść o miastach toczy się wokół siedmiu obszarów planowania, takich jak: projektowanie układu ulic, równowaga między koncentracją zabudowy a jej rozproszeniem, rewitalizacja najstarszych dzielnic miejskich, konflikty na tle różnic społecznych i etnicznych, zarządzanie w dużych regionach miejskich, traktowanie miast jako systemów naturalnych oraz odporność na zagrożenia lub szoki naturalne i społeczno-ekonomiczne. Dane te wskazują, jak planowanie ewoluowało na przestrzeni lat, gdy kolejne pokolenia planistów rozwijały nowe podejścia w odpo­wiedzi na przemiany zachodzące w gospodarce i społeczeństwie.

Satisfaction of Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia from a Topical Treatment with TH07 - A New Novel Combination of Substances that Safely Encourage Hair Growth
Authors: Yehuda Sara Bar
Published: November 2024

ntroduction: Hair loss can reduce body image satisfaction, leading to fear of social rejection and a perception of losing social attractiveness. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a hair loss condition that primarily affects the top and front of the scalp. Current treatment options for AGA include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved topical Minoxidil and oral Finasteride. In addition, many therapies have been suggested for the treatment of AGA, however the outcomes of those treatments vary widely, with limited or no satisfaction being reported. The Triple Hair Inc. company designed the TH07 formula, which contains 3 drugs that have already demonstrated their ability to induce hair re-growth, while still being safe in animal models and human clinical trials. The goal of the current trial was to evaluate the satisfaction of AGA patients with the TH07 treatment.
Considérations clés : Flambée épidémique de maladie à virus Marburg au Rwanda, octobre 2024
Authors: Lamarque Hugh
Published: November 2024

Cette note stratégique présente une synthèse des considérations clés relatives à la flambée épidémique de maladie à virus Marburg (MVM) au Rwanda, y compris les capacités de riposte à l’échelle nationale, les structures de gouvernance locales ainsi que les implications régionales et économiques. Elle est basée sur une revue rapide de publications et de littérature grise existantes, d’articles de presse, de recherches antérieures menées au Rwanda et de conversations informelles avec des collaborateurs nationaux et internationaux, et les personnes impliquées dans la riposte. La flambée épidémique a été officiellement déclarée le 27 septembre 2024, et constitue la première apparition de la MVM au Rwanda. Au moment de la rédaction du présent rapport (14 octobre 2024), 62 cas ont été signalés : 15 personnes sont décédées, 21 personnes sont en isolement et reçoivent un traitement, et 26 personnes auraient récupéré. La plupart des cas confirmés concernent des membres du personnel médical. Des cas confirmés ont été signalés dans sept des 30 districts du Rwanda : Gasabo, Gatsibo, Kamonyi, Kicukiro, Nyagatare, Nyarugenge et Rubavu (voir Figure 1). La présence de la maladie au sein de plusieurs districts suscite de graves inquiétudes quant à sa propagation intercommunautaire. Les initiatives de dépistage se sont intensifiées, le ministère de la Santé ayant signalé que plus de 3 797 dépistages avaient été effectués au 14 octobre 2024. La riposte du Rwanda contre la flambée épidémique de MVM s’appuie sur son infrastructure de santé publique existante et sur son expérience en matière de gestion de crises antérieures, comme la préparation à la COVID-19 et au virus Ébola lors de flambées épidémiques de fièvre hémorragique virale dans les pays limitrophes. L’approche comprend des sites d’isolement améliorés, des laboratoires mobiles ainsi que des capacités de diagnostic en temps réel afin de renforcer les initiatives de lutte contre les maladies. Le ministère de la Santé, avec l’assistance de l’OMS, a mis en place un système de gestion des incidents à plusieurs niveaux, avec des équipes d’intervention rapide qui opèrent aux niveaux national, provincial et des établissements de santé pour gérer la surveillance, la recherche des contacts et la gestion des cas. Les données sont gérées par le système électronique intégré de surveillance des maladies et riposte (SIMR). Les campagnes de vaccination du personnel de santé ont également commencé à utiliser un vaccin expérimental contre la MVM.
MULTIFUNKCIONALNOST ITALIJANSKOG DISKURSNOG MARKERA INSOMMA

Published: November 2024

Italijanskom diskursnom markeru insomma se u teorijskim razmatranjima pripisuje nekoliko pragmatičkih funkcija, pre svega ispunjavanje diskursa, ali i modulacija i demarkacija. Međutim, poput ostalih markera, insomma može obavljati i druge funkcije, kako na interakcionom (prekidanje), tako i metatekstualnom planu (reformulacija). Stoga je cilj rada da se istraži širi dijapazon upotreba ove markerske forme u razgovornom jeziku, odnosno da se kroz primere iz korpusa BADIP izdvoje i opišu njene karakteristične primene u jezičkoj realnosti. Očekujemo da ćemo u kvalitativnoj analizi ove visokoučestale diskursne jedinice naići na poteškoće u preciziranju njenih specifičnih funkcija u pojedinim kontekstima, s obzirom na složenost jedne takve interpretacije, koja uzima u obzir višestruke kontekstualne parametre (namere učesnika, uloge, odnose), kao i sintagmatsku i paradigmatsku polifunkcionalnost samog markera. Rezultati korpusne analize potvrđuju multifunkcionalnost kao opšte distinktivno obeležje markera i ukazuju na učestalu mogućnost da se formi insomma u datom kontekstu pripiše više podudarnih, međusobno teže razlučivih funkcija. Krajnji cilj analize jeste da se, kroz sagledavanje specifičnosti upotrebe insomma u svakodnevnom diskursu, ponudi kompletan funkcionalni opis ovog markera, te pomogne iscrtavanje preciznijih funkcionalnih obeležja celokupne kategorije kako bi se doprinelo ne samo njenoj klasifikaciji u lingvističkoj teoriji, već i didaktičkoj praksi.

A comprehensive review on agricultural greenhouse gas emission reductions in China: opportunities and challenges
Authors: Wu Jingxuan , Xu Yueying , Liu Zhe
Published: November 2024

China is the world’s largest carbon emitter. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, one of the main sources, is a channel for achieving China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality targets on schedule. To clarify the status and prospects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction in Chinese agriculture, this paper focuses on macro-level factors such as policies, economy, society, and technology, meso-level factors such as agricultural digital transformation and carbon trading market construction, and micro-level factors such as individual farmers and household influences on agricultural emissions reduction. Therefore, this article examines the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in China’s agricultural greenhouse emission reductions by SWOT. It is concluded that optimized industrial structure and technological progress are strengths, while weak low-carbon awareness among farmers and the limitations of traditional small-scale production methods are weaknesses. Aligning with national development direction, absorbing foreign experiences, and integrating with digitization are opportunities. The imbalance between the economy and emission reduction and the significant regional differences are the threats. Overall, China’s efforts are on the right track, but urgent action is needed to improve the quality of farmers and transform the agricultural economy, which requires fundamental changes. Based on this, suggestions are proposed for farmers, businesses, and government from four aspects: promoting and expanding pilot demonstration areas for agricultural carbon sequestration trading, building regionally superior agricultural products and specialty industries, synergistic cooperation for technology development and promotion, improving farmer educational level in the form of agricultural cooperatives, so as to help balance economic and environmental benefits in reducing agricultural GHG emissions.
The Overlooked Intersection between Mild Cognitive Impairment and Hematologic Malignancies: Insights from a Mixed-Method Study
Authors: Frisardi Vincenza , Conceining Guia , Scarpone Marialuisa , Schlögl Mathias
Published: November 2024

Background/Objectives: The unmet needs of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and hematologic malignancies are often overlooked, despite the increasing prevalence of both conditions among older adults. This dual challenge underscores the need for healthcare professionals to better address the complex needs of this vulnerable population. Methods: This study employed a comprehensive, mixed-methods approach, combining a systematic review of relevant literature and social listening to gather insights from patient association websites and blogs. Keywords such as "hematologic malignancies," "blood cancer," and "mild cognitive impairment" were used to identify pertinent studies, while social listening provided additional patient-centered perspectives. Results: The systematic review revealed a critical gap in care—specifically, the absence of a frailty assessment tool adapted to both hematologic malignancies and cognitive impairment. Insights from social listening highlighted the perspectives of caregivers, who reported feelings of isolation, uncertainty around diagnosis, and significant caregiver burden in managing both cognitive and physical health challenges. Conclusions: The findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive care frameworks that integrate cognitive assessments, improve communication between healthcare providers, and offer targeted support for caregivers. Future research should focus on the intersection of MCI and hematologic malignancies, aiming to develop validated tools and resources that support both patients and caregivers, ultimately improving clinical outcomes and fostering more patient-centered care for this underserved group.
Accelerated Modeling of Transients in Electromagnetic Devices Based on Magnetoelectric Substitution Circuits
Authors: Tykhovod Sergii , Orlovskyi Ihor
Published: November 2024

During switching and impulse actions in electrical systems, transient electromagnetic processes occur. This leads to dangerous current surges and overvoltages, which pose a significant danger to the equipment, and also reduce the reliability of the protection used. The simulation time of such processes is significantly increased for complex electromagnetic devices. Modern requests from design engineers require an increasing the speed of real-time simulation. The use of spectral methods will significantly speed up the calculation of transient processes and ensure high accuracy. At present, we are not aware of any publications showing the use of spectral methods for calculating transient processes in electromagnetic devices containing ferromagnetic cores. The purpose of the work is to develop a highly efficient method for calculating electromagnetic transients in magnetoelectric circuits for replacing a coil on a ferromagnetic core connected to a voltage source. The method is based on the use of nonlinear magnetoelectric schemes for replacing electromagnetic devices and a spectral method for representing solution functions by orthogonal polynomials. At the same time, a schematic model for the use of the spectral method was developed. Results. Methods for calculating transient processes in magnetoelectric circuits based on approximation of solution functions by series of algebraic polynomials, as well as Chebyshev, Hermite, and Legendre polynomials have been developed and investigated. The proposed method has made it possible to transform integro-differential equations of state describing transient processes in magnetoelectric circuits into linear algebraic equations for depicting solution functions. The developed schemat-ic model simplifies the use of the calculation method. Images of the true functions of electric and magnetic currents are interpreted as direct currents in the proposed substitution scheme. Based on the described methods, a computer program has been developed to simulate transient processes in a magnetoelectric circuit. The comparison of methods made it possible to choose the optimal type of polynomial. The advantage of the presented method over other known methods is the reduction in the simulation time of electromagnetic transients (for the examples considered, more than 12 times faster than in the implicit Euler calculation) while ensuring the same accuracy. The calculation of the process in the circuit over a long time interval showed a decrease and stabilization of errors, which indicates the prospects of using the proposed methods for the calculation of more complex electromagnetic devices (for example, transformers).
