Assessing the English Language Needs and Challenges of Chinese Undergraduates in Thai Universities
Authors: Chao Bi , Soontornnaruerangsee Wannana
Published: September 2024

Background and Aim: Studying undergraduate in Thai universities is a popular option for Chinese students. International programs covering popular fields not only meet the goals of Chinese students but are also seen by Chinese students as the best way to harvest specialized knowledge and English ability because of the all-English teaching course. However, since the English language is the only communication medium for Chinese students, there are some difficulties and problems encountered by these students who are not English native speakers. Therefore, this study aims to explore the specific English language skills Chinese undergraduates need and the challenges they face in academic and everyday contexts in Thai universities.
Materials and Methods: Participants involved 80 Chinese undergraduates studying four-year international programs in Thai public universities with an IELTS overall score of 5. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we distributed a questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale to all participants and conducted focus group interviews with 12 participants.
Results: Findings indicate a critical need to enhance writing and speaking for academic success, with an emphasis on specific-field terminology, and to improve listening and speaking skills for daily life communication. Besides, the lack of academic writing strategies and English communication in official institutions are the problems that undergraduates encounter in academic and daily contexts respectively.
Conclusion: The study underscores the urgent need for tailored EAP courses that address both academic and everyday English use, with a particular focus on writing with academic vocabularies and enhancing communicative competence in key scenarios like immigration processing.
Diagnosis and Risk Stratification in Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Authors: Zanwar Saurabh , Kapoor Prashant
Published: September 2024

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a B-cell lymphoma characterized by the presence of bone marrow lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and circulating monoclonal immunoglobulin M protein. The clinical presentation of WM is variable, ranging from gradually progressive cytopenias, organomegaly, fatigue, B symptoms, and peripheral neuropathy to the more emergent presentation with symptomatic hyperviscosity, cryoglobulinemia, hemolytic anemia–associated symptoms, acquired von Willebrand disease or acquired hemophilia–associated bleeding. Approximately 1 in 5 patients with WM are asymptomatic at diagnosis and classified as having smoldering WM, not requiring WM-directed therapy. Although WM typically has an indolent, relapsing-remitting course, the outcomes are heterogeneous. The prognosis of patients with WM is known to be impacted by certain clinical and laboratory features at initial presentation, with advanced age, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, and low serum albumin unfavorably affecting the outcome. Although complications such as histologic transformation or light and/or heavy chain (AL/ALH) amyloidosis are infrequent, their occurrence adversely influences the disease course. The International Prognostic Staging System for WM (IPSS-WM) is a validated model, often used in clinical practice, but needs to be reexamined in the current era. The discovery of the recurrent MYD88L265P gain-of-function point mutation and the subclonal CXCR4 mutations has helped improve our understanding of the WM biology, and the prognostic impact of these mutations is under evaluation, with somewhat inconsistent findings thus far across studies. This review discusses the clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, and prognostic markers of WM.

Authors: Crivelari Meirelis Isabelly , Martins Silva Rocha Jakeline
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar os reflexos da Lei 14.737/2023, com fins em identificar quais os motivos intrínsecos envolvendo a sua criação no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, discorrendo a respeito do direito de acompanhamento da mulher na saúde. Para tanto, fez-se necessária a avaliação da posição histórica da figura feminina na sociedade, bem como o comparativo com a existente Lei do acompanhante n° 11.108/2005. Verificou-se a partir do método dedutivo e da abordagem de revisão bibliográfica que, dentre as razões de ser da norma destaca-se, para além do suporte emocional do acompanhamento, a violência como um fenômeno social adverso que contraria as diretrizes constitucionais de direito à saúde, por conseguinte, de direito à vida. Nesse cenário, perpetuou-se a imprescindibilidade de criação de uma legislação correlacionada à ampliação de garantias de proteção em diferentes procedimentos da saúde, fomentando o respeito da autonomia da mulher, o que ascende a relevância da temática, posto que o debate e a difusão dos ideais da expansão do direito de acompanhamento são de interesse coletivo do grupo assegurado.

Published: September 2024

Madrasa etymologically is Darosa which means a place where the learning process occurs. Whereas in terms of terminology, madrassas are devoted to Islamic institutions or under the auspices of the Ministry of Religion. Madrasas began to develop since the 20th century. During its development of Islam in the world, madrassas were directed at higher education institutions during pre-modern times. Currently Madrasas in Indonesia have three levels, where the lowest level is Madrasah Ibtida'iyah (MI) which is equivalent to Elementary Schools (SD), Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) equivalent to Junior High Schools (SMP), and Madrasah Aliyah (MA ) equivalent to high school (high school). In Indonesia the term madrasa is not very well known at first. Initially Islamic education in Indonesia was carried out in pesantren, tajug, surau, langgar, mosque. The purpose of this study is to find out the history and development of madrasas in Indonesia.
Shared Responsibility v. Individual Responsibility: Search of Fairness and Multilateralism in the Implementation of International Responsibility
Authors: Keshner Maria
Published: September 2024

In international practice, there are situations when the result of joint activities of several States and international organizations is damage to a third party. Such precedents are characteristic of violations of the norms of the law of armed conflict, international humanitarian, environmental, and migration law. The question arises: who is responsible for joint activities and how should the responsibility for damage be distributed among multiple actors? The author formulates the issue on conformity of the individual responsibility practice, as well as the implementation of the principle of plurality of responsible states codified in the Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts to the principle of justice and full compensation for harm in situations and its relevance to the current stage of development of the law of international responsibility. The methodological basis of the research was made up of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematic approach) and private legal methods of cognition (formal legal, comparative legal). The legal nature of the responsibility of states for joint activities is investigated; its qualifying features are highlighted. The normative value of joint responsibility is substantiated, which consists in solving the problem of implementing responsibility in a situation of multiple attribution of behavior when causing indivisible damage to a third party. On the basis of a critical analysis of Articles on State Responsibility, Guidelines on Joint Responsibility, international judicial practice, the possibilities and limits of joint responsibility in resolving the noted problem and eliminating gaps in individual responsibility in situations of concerted actions in general are identified. The necessity of developing the key issue of the joint responsibility regime — criteria for the distribution of responsibility between multiple actors — is argued. In the absence of such criteria, the implementation of the abstract idea of shared responsibility potentially creates a new set of gaps in responsibility. A methodology for developing criteria for the distribution of joint responsibility is proposed.

Reforming the Foundations of Comparative Law in the Digital Era: New Principles and Approaches
Authors: Gulyamov Said
Published: September 2024

Rapid technological changes require new approaches to the study of legal theory that go beyond traditional comparative methods. The article examines the transformational methodology arising from the convergence of comparative law, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, computational jurisprudence and legal informatics, for the analysis of modern theories of state and law. Traditional comparative law has long relied on doctrinal analysis of legal texts and qualitative case studies to understand various national systems. However, the advent of large-scale digitization, big data analysis, machine learning, and global information networks makes traditional comparative techniques unsuitable for the task at hand. Legal systems are rapidly evolving under the influence of sociotechnical changes, which requires new tools for their study. The research is aimed at developing an updated methodological framework that will allow comparative law to critically consider the theory of state and law in the digital age. It provides a context for the emerging convergence between classical comparative law, artificial intelligence, legal informatics and computer technology. The thesis is put forward on the transformation of the traditional methodology in order to include new interdisciplinary approaches using advanced information systems and data analysis. The purpose of the study is to create a modern systematic methodology that allows comparativists to study theories of state and law with the capabilities of forecasting, empirical and multidimensional analysis.

The Legal Status of the Crimean Region as Part of the Ukrainian SSR: A Return to the Problem
Authors: Bondarchuk Ilya
Published: September 2024

The article examines an atypical situation generated by the implementation of the USSR Law of April 26, 1954 “On the transfer of the Crimean region from the RSFSR to the Ukrainian SSR”. It has been established that the illegal transfer of Crimea to Ukraine, which took place in accordance with this Law, is still the basis for non-recognition by some foreign countries of the reunification of Crimea and Russia, for the establishment of illegal sanctions and manifestations of discrimination that create difficulties and inconveniences for the lives of the population of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. This aspect, in the author’s opinion, is the basis for raising the question of replacing the original meaning of the USSR Law of 1954, as well as the formation of unplanned legal consequences by the Soviet legislator that occurred during its implementation and the subsequent period of “experiencing the law” in modern conditions.The purpose of the study is to determine the legal prospects for overcoming the distortion of the meaning of the USSR Law on the transfer of the Crimean region of the Ukrainian SSR in 1954 in the current constitutional realities. The historical conditions of the adoption of the said Law, as well as its legal consequences at the present stage, are investigated, and the practice of evaluation by state bodies of foreign countries containing discriminatory provisions regarding the fact of the reunification of Crimea and Russia is analyzed.Using comparative legal and systemic methods, the prospects of challenging the 1954 USSR Law in the constitutional order as the most successful and acceptable from the point of view of the positive influence of constitutional courts on the general integration processes in federal states are revealed.The basic conclusion of this study consists not only in the unrealization of the goals of the Soviet legislator when adopting the USSR Law of 1954, but also in the occurrence of unplanned consequences in the form of the stay of Crimea and its population within the framework of the state created on the basis of the exercise by the Ukrainian nation of the right to self-determination.
Evolution of the Comparative Method in Russian Historical and Legal Research
Authors: Dorskaya Aleksandra
Published: September 2024

The article explores the issue of Russian historians employing comparative-legal methodology across different historical eras. The study aims to identify and characterize the principal stages of comparative-legal method development in the Russian science of the history of the state and law. The article utilized a chronological methodology to establish the order in which regulatory legal acts concerning the enhancement of the legal education system in Russia were implemented, as well as the incorporation of a comparative element in it. The descriptive method provided a means to explicate the primary research focal points in the field of applying the comparative legal method. The examination of the content of regulatory legal acts from different time periods used the formal-legal method, outlining the particularities of employing the comparative-legal method in historical and legal research. The diachronic analysis was utilized to ascertain the subject matter in which legal historians drew comparisons between individual norms, institutions, and branches of Russian law, while the synchronic one facilitated the identification of both common and distinctive attributes in different countries simultaneously. Consequently, the impact of different legal theories on the extent of applicability and significant characteristics of the comparativelegal method in historical and legal research is demonstrated; the periods in which diachronic and synchronic analyses prevail in works on the history of the state and law, along with their underlying causes, are uncovered; through the lens of the Soviet era, the issue of the consequences of ascribing ideological significance to the comparative legal method is analyzed; the key topics that legal historians of different periods have disclosed through the application of comparisons in relation to state-legal material are discussed; the role of the comparative-legal method in shaping the legal education system in Russia and its content is illustrated.
The Conclusion and Denunciation of International Treaties: The Evolution of Constitutional Models
Authors: Lobov Mikhail
Published: September 2024

The article deals with new trends in the law of treaties that are prompted by the current disintegration developments in the international relations. The rise of treaty-making activities in the second half of 20th century and the unprecedented institutionalisation of the international relations leave way to a new phase in which States are losing trust in the international institutions they had put in motion. As a result, the theme of exiting international treaties becomes of great current interest. The conclusion and denunciation of an international treaty are construed as two equally significant acts in the exercise of State sovereignty. However, these are not always symmetrically reflected in the underlying constitutional frameworks. The purpose of the present study is to analyse the constitutional models of conclusion and denunciation of treaties and their evolution in the comparative perspective. The study has been guided by the comparative and historical legal methods. The comparative overview of the constitutional models in the countries of Europe, the Eurasian Economic Union, BRICS, and some others including the USA reveals strengths and weaknesses in the constitutional regulations governing the conclusion and denunciation of treaties. The article demonstrates the existence of “asymmetric” national procedures that apply to the ratification of treaties on the one hand, and to their denunciation on the other, and possible legal consequences of that constitutional model. Arguments are advanced in favour of the “symmetric” model, which allows for participation of national parliaments in both the ratification and denunciation of treaties. Special attention has been paid to the ways of coping with various legal consequences of the denunciation of treaties, thus highlighting the significance of this process in the current circumstances. The need for systemic rethinking of the interaction between the denunciation of treaties and the continuous development of the domestic legal order has also been emphasised.
Principles of International Law in View of the Genetic Technology Development
Authors: Gulyaeva Elena E.
Published: September 2024

Currently, genetic technologies are being developed, but legal regulation of this area, for example, in the field of human cloning, human research, assisted reproductive technologies, and work with biological samples for diagnostic purposes, is insufficient. The relevance of this research in the field of international law is confirmed by the increasing importance of general and special principles of international law, a number of which acquire new content. For example, the concepts of biosecurity and genomic sovereignty are being filled with the principle of sovereign equality of states, which is of paramount importance for the development of friendly relations between states in accordance with the UN Charter and the Declaration on the Principles of International Law. The progressive development of the principle of equality and self-determination of peoples, enshrined in the above-mentioned international documents, in terms of the practical implementation of projects to improve human beings through genetic editing with various technologies (CRISPR, etc.) raises an extremely controversial question about the new content of this generally recognized principle, taking into account the implementation of the principle of prohibition of discrimination on genetic grounds and the concept of genetic purity of the nation. Using the dialectical method of scientific cognition, methods of formal logic, historical analysis and the system-structural method, the provisions of relevant international treaties, scientific works, including interdisciplinary ones, on the designated topic are considered, some issues of foreign legislation are touched upon, and the judicial decision of the Supreme Court of Brazil on the legal regulation of the use of embryonic stem cells for therapeutic purposes is considered procedures, including dissenting opinions of judges. As a result of the analysis, the authors confirm the conclusion that national and international principles and standards on the basis of which the legal regulation of this sphere takes place must coincide, and some of them may have the nature of erga omnes obligations in order to work out a balance between the potential benefits and risks of using genetic (genomic) technologies on a human scale.

Authors: Krishnan Kumar , Saion Elias
Published: September 2024

The Juru rivers are highly industrial, urbanized and agricultural. The aim of the study was to examine the geochemical bases and enrichment of rare earth elements in Juru mangrove sediments. This study is carried out to investigate the concentrations of rare earth element (REEs) elements Samarium (Sm), Europium (Eu), Yttrium (Yb), Lutetium (Lu), and Terbium (Tb) present in surface mangrove sediments of Juru River, West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The concentrations of rare earth elements in the sediments were determined by using the instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) method. For calibration and quality control procedures, standard reference material SL-1 and blank samples were irradiated together with sediment samples. The degree of anthropogenic impact on sediments were computed using enrichment factor. The concentration and enrichment factor of all the REE elements ranged between 0.42 mg/kg (Lu), 7.55 mg/kg (Sm), 0.77 (Lu) and 2.96 (Tb), respectively. The geochemical behavior of REEs in surface sediments and normalized patterns (chondrite and shale) have been studied. These findings indicate that the level of pollution has not reached an extreme or severe level, but ongoing studies should be carried out on the inputs of anthropogenic activities at Juru river.

Rumah kampung, or Malay house, exemplifies the richness and insight of traditional buildings, sharing a home with people, and living in peace with nature. The typical Malay home is a building elevated on stilts high above the ground, covered with thatch roofs, encased with wooden walls, and pierced with windows and lattices in its most basic form. Due to the increasing interest in cultural heritage as a driving force of socio-economic development, many initiatives involving its preservation, conservation, restoration, and dissemination are undertaken throughout the globe. Conservation entails taking physical steps to preserve the fabric and elements of heritage buildings. It is a method of preventing deterioration from extending the life of buildings. According to the conservation concept, building conservation should maintain as much of the original building structure and fabric as feasible. Heritage buildings are now conserved based on historical and cultural considerations, and the cultural value of the architecture of historic buildings is slowly appreciated. The techniques, methods, and materials used to build and construct the buildings are the primary concern in conservation projects. This paper aims to investigate the current conservation process using the digitalization approach to document Negeri Sembilan Traditional Malay House. Data collection provides a literature review, whereby the current conservation process for cases in Malaysia and various countries will be reviewed. Content analysis was utilized to analyze the results. The findings of this paper provide helpful information regarding the potential development of digitalization based on the conservation process to be used further in the future traditional conservation building.

Patients presenting to the surgical clinic with umbilical sepsis were randomised into two groups of 25 patients each based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Postoperative factors such as pain score, wound infection, recurrence, hospital stay, and cosmetic satisfaction were analysed during follow-up. The parameters observed were statistically analysed using the chi-square test. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean age at surgery in both groups was similar (48 vs. 49, p=0.9191). Based on the pain score after surgery, there is a significant difference (p=0.0183) between the two groups, with higher pain reported in patients undergoing the umbilicus-retaining procedure. Considering wound infection as a parameter, the statistical significance is less (p= 0.096). Hospital stay was observed in both groups, and there were no significant differences (p=0.7055). The study population consisted of 23 men and 27 women. Cosmetic satisfaction of patients was assessed, and no statistical significance was found (p=0.644) between the two groups, irrespective of gender. Recurrence of symptoms was observed more in the group where the umbilicus is retained (p=0.0073). Considering all the parameters and their statistical significance, it is concluded that postoperative outcomes were comparable in both groups of patients. The results of this study provide insights for surgeons into the concept of retaining or removing the umbilicus and its impact on postoperative morbidity of patients presenting with umbilical sepsis

Authors: Kravets Nataliia , Derkach Sofiia
Published: September 2024

Patients with dental braces are more likely to experience rapid accumulation of dental plaque and gum inflammation, therefore, antimicrobial mouthwashes that enhance daily oral hygiene can effectively remove and control bacterial plaque, improve gum health, and are safe preventive agents without side effects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative composition of the soft dental plaque microbiocenosis under the influence of an alcohol-free oral hygiene product in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The study included patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Samples were taken from the surface teeth of the maxilla. The obtained swabs from the surface of the upper molars were examined using a bacteriological method with subsequent identification: microscopic, cultural, and biochemical. Comparison of the effectiveness of an alcohol-free mouthwash in terms of changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of microorganisms and the condition of periodontal tissues in patients undergoing stationary orthodontic therapy carried out after three months of use. The study revealed gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and Candida fungi with a subsequent insignificant decrease in gram-negative bacteria (p = 0.999) after using the mouthwash. The results obtained showed changes in the taxonomic composition, namely, a decrease in the number of bacterial genera from 11 to 9. In addition to the mentioned results, changes were found at the population level of the soft dental plaque microbiota in patients who used the alcohol-free mouthwash for three months, namely, a decrease in the number of Streptococcus spp. α p(x ≤ T) = 0.9958, Propionibacterium spp. p(x ≤ T) = 0.9837, while changes in Streptococcus spp. β and Streptococcus spp. γ were minimal. A comparison of the population level of microorganisms before and after the use of mouthwash revealed significant differences (p < 0.05). Determination of the gingival index demonstrated a slight improvement in the periodontal status of the examined subjects. The conducted study is of great importance for the development of new strategies for the prevention and treatment of oral cavity diseases

Authors: Soyka Larysa , Kovalchuk Oksana , Upatova Iryna
Published: September 2024

The high frequency of thyroid gland disorders is currently being established, indicating that regular assessment of its condition and hormone levels may aid in the early detection of disease development. This study aimed to analyse current scientific data on methods for diagnosing the state of the thyroid gland. A randomised systematic review of 43 scientific sources published between 2015 and 2024 was conducted. The article provides an overview of traditional and modern methods of thyroid gland examination. It has been established that modern diagnostic methods are used to determine the condition of the thyroid gland and to characterise formations. Among them, thyroid ultrasound examination is the main non-radiation diagnostic tool for establishing diseases and monitoring observation. The advantages of ultrasound examination include speed, availability, and information content of the method. In addition, an important role is played by the physical examination of the patient and laboratory tests. Currently, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is considered the gold standard for the study of thyroid nodules. Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography is used to assess tumour response and for the diagnosis, prognosis, and staging of thyroid cancer. To determine the functional state of the thyroid gland, the level of thyroid hormones in the blood serum is established: triiodothyronine, thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, thyroglobulin, and calcitonin. Thus, various clinical, instrumental, and laboratory research methods are used to determine the state of the thyroid gland
Legal cooperation of states in the field of social security in order to achieve the UN SDGs
Authors: Shchukina Natalia
Published: September 2024

The article examines some areas and forms of cooperation between states in the legal sphere of regulating relations in the field of social security and social protection. Considering the implementation by states of comprehensive social policy measures aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we can talk about the presence of common vectors and general trends both at the international and regional levels to improve the level of social protection. The most urgent is the adoption of measures, mainly legal, to ensure that all states provide minimum standards of social security to ensure a decent standard of living and quality of life. Issues of international legal cooperation in the regulation of social security are considered in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as in relation to the standards and norms established at the UN and ILO levels. Proposals have been formulated for taking legal measures to improve the efficiency of social security regulation at the national and international levels.
