Przedmiot badań:
Prezentowana praca omawia wpływ polimorfizmu genetycznego na farmakokinetykę i farmakodynamikę leków zwiotczających mięśnie stosowanych podczas znieczulenia ogólnego. W naszej pracy przyglądamy się działaniu powszechnie stosowanych w anestezjologii leków, takich jak sukcynylocholina, miwakurium i rokuronium. Celem badania jest wykazanie zależności pomiędzy ekspresją poszczególnych genów kodujących enzymy modyfikujące działanie tych leków a wpływem genetyki na ich eliminację z organizmu.

Cel pracy:
Celem prezentowanej pracy jest jak najlepsze dostosowanie i dobór leków "szytych na miarę" dla poszczególnych pacjentów, co jest szczególnie istotne ze względu na możliwość uniknięcia powikłań związanych ze stosowaniem powszechnie używanych leków zwiotczających mięśnie.

Materiał i metody:
Przy pisaniu artykułu korzystaliśmy z artykułów naukowych dostępnych w popularnych źródłach, takich jak PubMed i Google Scholar. Bibliografia w dużej mierze składa się z publikacji z ostatnich pięciu lat.

Wyniki i wnioski:
Przedstawione w pracy przykłady polimorfizmów DNA oraz opisane częste działania niepożądane leków stosowanych w znieczuleniu ogólnym wskazują na istotną rolę farmakogenetyki w doborze najwłaściwszego leku dla poszczególnych pacjentów podczas zabiegu operacyjnego. Jak staraliśmy się wykazać, ma to znaczący wpływ na lepsze wyniki leczenia i pomaga zminimalizować ewentualne działania niepożądane.

Znaczenie badania dla współczesnej praktyki:
Nasze badanie jest jednym z nielicznych, które zbiera wszystkie dostępne dane na temat powiązań genetycznych z farmakodynamiką i farmakokinetyką leków zwiotczających mięśnie. W dzisiejszych czasach, gdy znieczulenie ogólne stosowane jest częściej niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej, znajomość genetyki pacjenta mogłaby pomóc przewidzieć sposób działania najpopularniejszych leków zwiotczających mięśnie i dostosować znieczulenie indywidualnie dla pacjenta. To z kolei mogłoby poprawić komfort pacjenta podczas operacji i zmniejszyć częstość występowania działań niepożądanych związanych ze znieczuleniem ogólnym.
Advertising a medicinal product in a pharmacy run by a pharmacist

Przedmiot badań. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu analizę prawnych uwarunkowań prowadzenia reklamy produktów leczniczych w aptekach w ujęciu ustawowego zakazu prowadzenia przez farmaceutę reklamy produktów leczniczych skierowanej do wiadomości publicznej. Wskazana tematyka ma szczególne znaczenie w kontekście rynku aptek oraz ochrony zasad rynkowej konkurencyjności z uwzględnieniem zasady równości podejmowania oraz wykonywania działalności gospodarczej. Prowadzenie apteki łączy w sobie dwie istotne i zarazem koherentne płaszczyzny, tj. ochronę zdrowia publicznego oraz realizację celów ekonomicznych. Uznając bezsprzecznie pierwszy ze wskazanych celów za nadrzędny, nie sposób nie dostrzec znaczenia sfery gospodarczej dla możliwości jego urzeczywistnienia. Każdą ingerencję w sferę gospodarczą apteki jako przedsiębiorstwa należy tym samym uznać za newralgiczną również dla realizacji celu publicznego. W tym kontekście należy zadać pytanie, czy obowiązujący na mocy art. 29 ustawy o zawodzie farmaceuty zakaz prowadzenia przez farmaceutów reklamy produktów leczniczych skierowanej do wiadomości publicznej, postrzegany w kontekście reklam realizowanych w lokalu apteki prowadzonej przez farmaceutę, może być uznany za nieuzasadnioną ingerencję ustawodawcy w przestrzeń działalności aptek. Mając powyższe na względzie przedmiotem analizy uczyniono: (i) wybrane prawne podstawy prowadzenia reklamy produktów leczniczych w aptekach, (ii) zakaz prowadzenia przez farmaceutę reklamy produktów leczniczych skierowanej do wiadomości publicznej oraz (iii) podstawy i zakres odpowiedzialności prawnej farmaceuty w przypadku naruszenia powyższego zakazu.
Cel badań. Celem artykułu jest próba zidentyfikowania określonych problemów w sferze interpretacji oraz stosowania prawa, a także sfomułowania ewentualnych wniosków de lege ferenda.
Materiały i metody. W artykule zastosowano metodę formalno-dogmatyczną z uwzględnieniem kierunków wykładni prawa wynikających z: (i) orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych oraz (ii) doktryny prawa.
Wyniki i wnioski. Jakiekolwiek przejawy ograniczenia zasady wolności działalności gospodarczej powinny być bowiem dokonywane ze szczególną uważnością oraz bezwzględnym uznaniem dla zasady proporcjonalności oraz konstytucyjnych wymogów warunkujących dokonanie tego rodzaju ograniczenia. Ograniczenie to nie powinno w szczególności prowadzić do różnicowania pozycji rynkowej określonych grup przedsiębiorców uprawnionych do realizacji tej samej aktywności gospodarczej. Rozwiązanie takie mogłoby bowiem stanowić przejaw naruszenia zasad konkurencyjności oraz skutkować arbitralnym pogorszeniem pozycji rynkowej jego adresatów.
Quality assessment of providing pharmaceutical advice for the patients who take the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors group medications – the pilot research
Authors: Boretska Olga , Drozd Mariola
Published: October 2024

Przedmiot badań. Około 5% dorosłej populacji cierpi na depresję, a do 2030 roku, według prognoz WHO, choroba ta stanie się główną przyczyną niepełnosprawności na świecie. Leczenie pacjentów z depresją jest złożonym i wymagającym procesem i powinno być prowadzone w sposób kompleksowy przez multidyscyplinarny zespół specjalistów opieki zdrowotnej w którym farmaceuta ma istotną rolę w świadczeniu opieki farmaceutycznej.
Celem badania była weryfikacja i ocena jakości udzielanej porady farmaceutycznej pacjentom stosującym leki z grupy selektywnych inhibitorów wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny (SSRI) w aptekach ogólnodostępnych w Polsce.
Materiały i metody. W badaniu wykorzystano metodę „tajemniczego klienta” dlaczego został opracowany protokół wizyty, który składał się z informacji wymaganych do udzielenia porady farmaceutycznej. Zebrano 26 protokołów wizyt w okresie 17.05-24.08.23 r.
Wyniki. W trakcie zebrania danych były sytuacje gdzie żaden z badanych nie zaoferował doradztwa farmaceutycznego. Należą do nich propozycja usługi farmaceutycznej „Nowy lek”, przekazania informacji dotyczącej potencjalnych interakcji lekowych. W żadnej z aptek nie zostało zadane pytanie o choroby współistniejące. Pomimo braków w wywiadzie to jednak w 100,0% przypadków zwrócono uwagę na niewystarczający czas potrzebny do osiągniecia efektu terapeutycznego leku przeciwdepresyjnego. Badani farmaceuci często (88,5%) zwracali uwagę na działania niepożądane fluoksetyny. O sposobie stosowania, innym doradztwie oraz informacji o monitorowaniu farmakoterapii antydepresantami przez lekarza poinformowało 34,6% badanych farmaceutów. Tylko w 23,1% aptek zauważono konieczność przestrzegania zaleceń terapeutycznych. Czas trwania rozmowy był dodatkowym czynnikiem wpływającym na częstotliwość porad farmaceuty.
Wnioski. Wyniki badania pilotażowego wskazują na potrzebę przeprowadzenia badania na większej populacji farmaceutów w celu zidentyfikowania ważnych aspektów współpracy z pacjentem stosującym leki z grupy SSRI.
UniSchedApi: A comprehensive solution for university resource scheduling and methodology comparison
Authors: La Cruz Alexandra , Herrera Luis , Cortes Jeisson , García Andrés , Severeyn Erika
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces UniSchedApi, an API-based solution that revolutionizes optimized university resource scheduling. The primary focus of the research is the detailed evaluation of two automatic resource allocation methods: Tabu Search (TS) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The paper thoroughly explores how these methods address challenges associated with resource allocation in university environments, considering critical factors such as teacher availability, student time constraints, classroom features (including computers, projectors, TV's, specialized laboratories, specialized equipment, etc.), among others. The evaluation is carried out meticulously, measuring the performance and memory resource usage of both algorithms, considering the comparison with the manual scheduling. The results reveal that the TS algorithm excels in terms of temporal efficiency and computational resource usage. Based on these findings, UniSchedApi implements GA and TS but uses TS as the default algorithm, ensuring more efficient and optimized management of academic resources. This research not only presents a practical solution with UniSchedApi but also provides a deep understanding of the methods for evaluating and selecting algorithms to address specific challenges in university resource allocation. These results lay the groundwork for future improvements in academic resource management.
Psicología de las emergencias y desastres: aportes y desafíos para el afrontamiento del cambio climático en América Latina
Authors: Sandoval-Obando Eduardo , Sandoval-Díaz José
Published: October 2024

El cambio climático es descrito como aquel fenómeno asociado a un cambio significativo y de larga duración en las condiciones climáticas de la Tierra causado por el aumento en la concentración de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera, lo que se prevé generará graves consecuencias para la vida en este planeta, incluyendo la pérdida de biodiversidad, la seguridad alimentaria, la salud pública, la migración forzada y la estabilidad económica y social. Precisamente por ello, y dado que América Latina se proyecta como una de las regiones del mundo en donde los efectos e impactos del cambio climático serán más intensos (al corto y mediano plazo) conviene reflexionar acerca de cómo este fenómeno impactará en la salud y en la calidad de vida de las personas y comunidades afectadas. A raíz de esto y en consecuencia con los diferentes eventos potencialmente traumáticos ocurridos durante la última década adquiere importancia el estudio y visibilización de nuevos enfoques y estrategias en torno a la gestión del riesgo de desastres desde la psicología de la emergencia. Esto permitirá focalizar las reflexiones en torno a la preparación y a la respuesta de las comunidades ante estos eventos, junto con promover el apoyo social, la resiliencia y la articulación de saberes y aprendizajes en torno al cambio climático en América Latina. Psicología de las emergencias y desastres: aportes y desafíos para el afrontamiento del cambio climático en América Latina es un libro publicado por Ediciones Universidad Autónoma de Chile en conjunto con la Asociación Universitaria de Educación y Psicología (España).

A Basic Guide to Mushrooms Commonly Encountered in Potted Plants in Florida
Authors: Karlsen-Ayala Elena , Gazis Romina , Smith Matthew
Published: October 2024

Mushrooms growing in potting soil are a common problem reported in nursery production and in potted plants in the indoor and outdoor home landscape. Many of these fungi are saprotrophic and feed on the organic matter contained in the potting soil itself and/or in the mulch, which varies in composition but often contains tree bark, wood chips, pine straw, moss, or leaves. These fungi are not necessarily harmful to the plants, but fungal fruiting bodies can make plants unmarketable. Unknown fungi can also be concerning to retailers and homeowners because of potential toxicity to pets and children. The purpose of this publication is to provide homeowners and retail nursery growers with an overview of some of the most common mushroom-forming fungi found in potted plants and potting soils in Florida. We also provide cultural control recommendations to help prevent or reduce mushroom growth.

Cultural activities of the European Union: a programmatic approach
Authors:   Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Makhmetov T.M. , Kuramaeva G.N. ,   Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Published: October 2024

The European Union was created primarily on an economic basis, not on the principles of cultural cooperation. Cultural policy has been developed in the EU gradually, for quite a long time. As the emphasis in the activities of the European Union shifted from purely economic interests to political and socio-cultural spheres, the need for the formation of a European identity began to increase. In this regard, there is a need for the formation of a single cultural space, and hence a cultural policy that contributes to the achievement of pan-European goals. Culture should have become one of the factors contributing to the unification of people not only at the political and economic level, but also at the level of consciousness: citizens of different EU member states should, in theory, perceive themselves as a whole, as representatives of one territory with common cultural values. The first Cultural Activity Plan was adopted by the European Commission in early 1977. By the mid-1980s, when satellite radio broadcasting became widespread, conditions were created for a «common market for television broadcasting», and after a series of political and public debates, the directive «Television without Borders» was adopted in 1989. The European Commission was also engaged in the protection of cultural and historical heritage, the provision of creative scholarships, support for literary translation, and individual cultural events. All this was financed by the European Social Fund, the European Regional Development Fund, etc.

Published: October 2024

Background and Objectives: Many patients with COVID-19 show long-term physical and mental symptoms. This study aims to determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation in patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in a hospital in Qazvin, Iran. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The study population consists of all patients with COVID-19 admitted to Bou Ali Sina Hospital in Qazvin city. A two-part questionnaire was used to collect data; the first part surveys demographic characteristics, history of death due to COVID-19 in relatives, history of underlying disease, days of hospitalization, history of intubation, and history of hospitalization in intensive care units. The second part was the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 23 using ANOVA and logistic regression analysis. Results: Participants were 206 patients with COVID-19. The data showed that 12.8% of patients had high suicidal ideation. Younger patients were at a high risk of suicide (Mean age: 31.96±12.59 years) (P<0.001). In addition, patients who were single (P<0.001) and had a history of death due to COVID-19 in relatives or friends had higher suicidal ideation (P=0.005). Conclusion: About 12.8% of patients with Covid-19 admitted to the study hospital had a high suicidal ideation. There is no considerable difference between the prevalence of suicidal ideation reported in this study and the data reported for the general population of Iran before the pandemic.

Background and Objectives: Brucellosis is one of the most common infectious diseases with a global spread. It has a high prevalence in Iran. This study aims to diagnose brucellosis caused by Brucella melitensis in the serum of patients by the amplification of omp31 gene, compared to the serological tests. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 200 people suspected of brucellosis. The samples were evaluated by serological tests including Rose Bengal test, Wright test, Coombs-Wright test, gel agglutination test, and 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME) test. DNA extraction was done by the phenol/chloroform extraction method. Molecular detection with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was done using the specific primers of the Omp31 gene. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 23 using the analysis of variance. Results: Of 200 patients, 122 were female and 78 were male with a mean age of 45.17±17.43 years. The results of PCR test for the omp31 gene were positive in 14.5% of cases, which was consistent with the results of serological tests (13.8%). The sensitivity of Wright, Coombs-Wright, 2ME, and gel agglutination tests, compared to PCR, was 89.7, 75.9, 55.2 and 55.2%, respectively. Most of the affected people were housekeepers (41.5%) and urban residents (75.5%). Muscle pain (68%) and leg pain (62.3%) were the most common symptoms. Consumption of non-pasteurized dairy products was the highest risk factor (17%). Conclusion: The diagnosis of brucellosis by the omp31 gene amplification has higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to the serological tests. Considering the importance of rapid and timely diagnosis of brucellosis to control its clinical complications, the molecular diagnosis method is recommended as a diagnostic method.
Mietwohnung oder Eigenheim?
Authors: Kadelke Philipp
Published: October 2024

Die Wohnung ist der Ort, an dem wir die längste Zeit unseres Lebens verbringen. Je nach Wohnverhältnissen hält die Wohnung spezifische Erfahrungs-, Prägungs- und Ermöglichungsräume bereit. Aus einer ungleichheitssoziologischen Perspektive sensibilisiert das Buch für den Wohneigentumsstatus – ob Menschen zur Miete oder im Eigentum leben – als vergessene Ungleichheitsdeterminante. Mit einem Fokus auf wohnstatusassoziierte Haltungen (Mentalitäten) und Handlungen (politische Beteiligung) wird theoretisch argumentiert und empirisch gezeigt: Der Wohnstatus ist ein Erklärungsfaktor sozialer Ungleichheit, dem mehr als nur eine ökonomische Ungleichheitsdynamik innewohnt.
Potenzial und Pädagogik: Systematisch-historische Skizze eines interdiskursiven Gefüges
Authors: Heßdörfer Florian
Published: October 2024

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts haben sich verschiedene Konzepte von individuellen Potenzialen etabliert, rund um Begriffe wie ‚Begabung‘, ‚Talent‘ oder ‚Anlage‘. Diese Begriffe spielten eine wichtige Rolle bei der Modernisierung des Bildungssystems und etablierten die Aufgabe der ‚Entwicklung von Potenzialen‘ als zentrales pädagogisches Motiv. Der Beitrag zeigt ausgehend von dieser Geschichte, wie in den 1990er und frühen 2000er Jahren das Konzept des Potenzials neu aufgegriffen und transformiert wird. Um diese Transformation zu rekonstruieren, wird das Konzept des Potenzials als Element eines umfassenden Interdiskurses analysiert, der pädagogische, ökonomische und politische Wissensformen verknüpft und organisiert.
Zur folgenreichen Unmöglichkeit, Potenziale zu prüfen
Authors: Horvath Kenneth
Published: October 2024

Persistente Bildungsungleichheiten bilden seit Jahrzehnten den zentralen Gegenstand bildungssoziologischer Debatten. Ihre Erforschung hat sich lange Zeit im Spannungsfeld von Rational-Choice-Modellen und bourdieuschen Habitus-Feld-Analysen bewegt. Vor diesem Hintergrund rückt dieser Beitrag sozialtheoretische Verschiebungen in den Fokus, die sich mit der (neo-)pragmatischen französischen Soziologie für eine sozialkritische Bildungsforschung ergeben. Als zentraler Gegenstand einer solchen Forschung werden Prüfungen ausgemacht, die es sozialen Akteur*innen erlauben, in ungewissen Situationen Wahrheits- und Gerechtigkeitsentscheidungen zu treffen. In Bildungskontexten spielen insbesondere Potenzialprüfungen eine Schlüsselrolle, weil in ihnen die Kernaufgabe von Schule zum Ausdruck kommt, ausgehend von einem grundlegenden Gleichheitspostulat biographisch folgenreiche Ungleichheiten herzustellen und zu legitimieren. Potenzialprüfungen sind allerdings mit einer fundamentalen Schwierigkeit konfrontiert: Ihr Gegenstand ist per definitionem nicht prüfbar. Der politische und pädagogische Umgang mit dieser Unmöglichkeit erweist sich als Ansatzpunkt zum Verständnis von Praktiken, die Bildungsungleichheiten auf Dauer stellen, die allgemein bekannt, umfassend erforscht und breit als ungerecht anerkannt sind.

China is a major supplier and consumer of energy, with a continuous increase in energy demand, which leads to deficiencies in its stable supply and serious problems such as import dependence, which seriously affects the country’s energy security. The countries of the “Belt and Road” have sufficient energy resources, which creates the potential for expanding energy cooperation with China. It is very important to build a community of shared energy circle with countries along the Belt and Road, build a diversified energy strategic system, and expand the chain of energy production and transformation to promote energy cooperation between China and countries along the Belt and Road. In today’s conditions of globalization and economic development, the management of energy development has become an important issue for the development of China’s national economy. Understanding the relevant research concepts and improving the theory of energy development management can help in making management decisions, increase the efficiency of commodity producers and strengthen the sustainability of Chinese territories. This article explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of energy development management in detail, with the aim of providing useful guidance and reference materials for energy investment decision-makers by identifying key concepts, analyzing theoretical foundations and research methods. Thus, relevant concepts and main problems of energy investment management and theories of economic growth of rural areas by investing in the energy sector were presented. Various views of the classical theory of economic growth and development of rural areas were collected; the main obstacles to the development of energy investment are identified, including state macrocontrol at various stages of regional development.

These leading hotels represent five regions of Ukraine: the city of Kyiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpattia, Kyiv region. The situation of a full-scale invasion had a very negative effect on the state of the hotel business, both on the volume of activity and on the destruction of entities. The amount of destruction of Ukrainian tourism facilities, in particular the hotel business, under the influence of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine was considered. An analysis of the dynamics of the taxes of tourism entities was carried out, in the structure of which hotel business entities paid 80.5% in 2023. The main operating indicators, which reflect the efficiency of the hotel business entity and are its KPIs, were studied – these are ADR, RevPar, Occupancy. Research was conducted on the identified KPIs of hotel business entities in the main destinations of Ukraine: Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and Bukovel. The main transformations of the hotel business of Ukraine during the war were determined: 1) repurposing and adaptation of services; 2) decrease in the number of tourists and business trips; 3) financial challenges and cost optimization; 4) introduction of new technologies; 5) strengthening of security measures; 6) support of local communities; 7) change in price policy.

Contro la normalizzazione delle identità dissidenti: riflessioni pedagogiche a partire dalla neuroqueerness
Authors: Borelli Chiara , Marocchini Eleonora , Scarpini Mariangela
Published: October 2024

Il presente contributo intende muoversi tra il passato e il presente delle pratiche di cura per mettere in luce alcuni nodi problematici legati a consuetudini educative violente volte alla normalizzazione delle identità e dei corpi di coloro che divergono dalla normalità statistica e dai canoni di ciò che viene considerato accettabile o consono in un dato contesto. Si sceglie di focalizzarsi in particolar modo sulla storia e sulle esperienze di persone neurodivergenti e di persone queer, due gruppi sociali marginalizzati a vari livelli, e sull'intersezione storica e concettuale delle pratiche rieducative violente che entrambi i gruppi hanno subito e continuano a subire, sia separatamente che nella loro intersezione (identità neuroqueer). Con la consapevolezza che l'intento normalizzante e di inquadramento all'interno di canoni prestabiliti – che spesso sfocia in pratiche più o meno esplicitamente violente, inquadrabili all'interno della pedagogia nera – si applichi anche a molteplici altre categorie di persone, l'affondo su identità neurodivergenti e su identità queer funge da esempio emblematico che intende invitare a una riflessione e a una profonda messa in discussione delle finalità della pedagogia e delle pratiche educative e di cura, evidenziando e problematizzando anche le questioni di potere al loro interno.
Décrire l'espace, écrire un territoire. Le Dauphiné-­Savoie dans le Recueil et abbregé (1547)*
Authors: Broisin Nicolas
Published: October 2024

Il Recueil et abbregé de certaines choses concernans le gouvernement des pays de Daulphiné et Savoye è un manoscritto anonimo della metà del XVI secolo che offre una descrizione dello spazio del Delfinato e della Savoia per il nuovo governatore francese, François de Lorraine. Inserito nel contesto delle guerre d'Italia, che videro la conquista e lo smantellamento del Ducato di Savoia, esso ci permette di avvicinarci al modo in cui un territorio originario poté essere costituito e individuato in età moderna. Come oggetto, il Recueil et abbregé appare come una sistemazione intellettuale del territorio del Delfinato-­Savoia, offrendo all'occhio del governatore una visione dall'alto del territorio su cui esercita la sua autorità. La caratteristica principale di questo progetto è l'unione di due entità, che interrompe diversi secoli di antagonismo. L'esistenza del Delfinato-­Savoia viene così affermata, rappresentata e giustificata. Questo discorso è stato abbinato all'individuazione di alcune caratteristiche specifiche del territorio, che hanno contribuito alla sua definizione, delineando sulla carta un territorio singolare, uno spazio di apertura e chiusura al servizio dei Valois e delle loro ambizioni italiane. Ma questa costruzione intellettuale si realizzò malgrado le circostanze e il Delfinato-­Savoia divenne un territorio contrastato, un progetto politico senza una vera applicazione pratica sul terreno e al quale la restituzione della Savoia con il trattato di Cateau-­Cambrésis nel 1559 pose definitivamente fine.
Almanaque de ciencia y literatura
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Nepote González Juan Miguel
Published: October 2024

La divulgación de la ciencia puede reescribirse como un juego donde el científico deja entrever sus mejores trucos mediante la palabra, para que aquel lector común–del cual hablaba Virginia Woolf– descubra el placer del conocimiento. Por medio de lo lúdico, de la historia y de lo literario, este Almanaque de ciencia y literatura reconstruye distintos hechos científicos a la par que los significa en sus protagonistas y en el tiempo. En la vuelta que da un año, quien lea este Almanaque encontrará las acciones de un “elenco de personajes” que hicieron posible conocer el mundo de los microbios, leer a la luz de una lámpara o construir un puente, pero también comprenderá al poeta, al novelista o al cantautor, quienes en una intersección de relatos hacen preguntarse aún más por los detalles científicos: por qué la burbuja es una esfera, a dónde nos lleva el robo de La Gioconda, cómo baila un trompo. Almanaque de ciencia y literatura es una obra que invita a reflexionar y a dialogar con la ciencia, y también es un libro cuyos guiños literarios convierten a ese lector común en un lector detallista, creativo y curioso.

The article explores the peculiarities of the development of the qualification system in Ukraine under the conditions of military challenges. The authors focus on the changes in workforce training and the adaptation of the labour market to the new realities caused by russian aggression and martial law. The issue of balancing the training of qualified personnel with the demand in the labour market is a complex problem that requires significant effort. For Ukraine, this situation is further complicated by the consequences of the pandemic and pre-existing issues such as the lack of statistics and forecasts for qualification demand, overproduction of graduates by educational institutions, and low levels of training due to insufficient skills and abilities. Additional difficulties are created by the legacy of the Soviet labour system and ineffective regulatory policies. With the onset of military aggression, the country has faced new challenges. The main problems of the Ukrainian labour market under martial law concern maintaining the economy, workforce outflow, and other emerging difficulties. Despite significant losses, positive trends have been observed since 2023, such as employment stabilisation due to the support of international partners and the transition of the economy to a military footing. Key factors include the creation of new jobs, regulatory simplifications, and the development of distance education. There is a growing demand for qualifications related to the wartime economy and active retraining of adults. The authors analyse the impact of military actions on the requirements for professional skills and employee training across various sectors. Attention is given to the need for rapid retraining and skill upgrading. The article also discusses government measures to support and develop qualifications, including legislative initiatives and skill enhancement programs for different population groups. Several conclusions are drawn, offering recommendations for improving the qualification system, including the need for innovation in education, the development of digital technologies, and active integration with the European labour market. It is emphasised that an important direction for reform is the harmonisation of the education system with European standards.
