How do macroeconomic variables and financial inclusion affect financial stability in Indonesia?
Authors: Anindyntha Firdha Aksari , Fuddin Muhammad Khoirul
Published: May 2024

Financial stability is a crucial indicator of the financial sector's health, reflecting the system's resilience or vulnerability to crises. This study investigates the impact of macroeconomic variables and financial inclusion on financial stability in Indonesia, utilizing quarterly data from the first quarter of 2012 to the fourth quarter of 2021. Employing the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the research examines the influences of these factors in both the short and long term. The findings reveal that macroeconomic variables and financial inclusion significantly affect financial stability in Indonesia across both time frames. Specifically, inflation emerges as a critical factor influencing financial stability in the long term, while interest rates play a pivotal role in the short term. Moreover, financial inclusion, represented by the public's use of banking products and third-party funds relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), impacts financial stability both in the long and short term. Conversely, financial inclusion, measured by credit to GDP, exhibits only short-term effects on financial stability. The results underscore the importance of careful consideration by the central bank when formulating monetary policy, particularly regarding interest rate adjustments, due to their immediate impact on financial system stability. Over the long term, maintaining control over inflation rates is imperative to safeguard financial stability. Furthermore, financial institutions, in their role of fostering financial inclusion by distributing credit, must balance the quality of credit with its quantity to avoid negative impacts on the financial system's stability. This study contributes valuable insights for policymakers and financial institutions aiming to bolster Indonesia's financial stability through prudent macroeconomic management and the strategic implementation of financial inclusion initiatives.

Groundwater-surface water interactions are important in controlling lake
water residence time, biogeochemistry, and water availability for
downstream communities in tropical volcanic catchments. To better
understand these complex seasonal interactions, a multi-tracer approach
including water and inorganic carbon stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O,
δ13CDIC), hydrochemistry, and 222Rn was applied in Lake Hule, northern
Costa Rica. Seasonal isotope mass balance calculations using lake,
stream, precipitation, and groundwater isotope compositions were
supplemented with local hydrometeorological information. Evaporation to
inflow ratios (E/I) revealed a small variability between the dry
(December-April) and wet seasons (May-November), with relatively low
evaporation losses, 2.9±1.0 % and 3.2±1.8 %, respectively. Bayesian
end-member analysis indicated that annual inputs from groundwater,
precipitation, and runoff represented 61.3±8.1%, 24.4±8.4, and
14.3±5.9% of total inflow, respectively. Temporal variations of δ13CDIC
also confirmed the key role carbonate buffering plays in this lake and
indicated greater CO2 degassing from groundwater sources in the wet
season. This first tracer-aided assessment in a volcanic lake maar of
northern Costa Rica provides evidence of previously unknown
groundwater-surface water interactions and poses a promising tool for
estimating seasonal variability of groundwater discharge into natural
lakes across the volcanic front of Central America.

Authors: Singh Johnny , Stensvold Andreas , Turzer Martin , Grov Ellen Karine
Published: May 2024

Background: A significant proportion of patients with incurable cancer receive systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) within their last 30 days of life (DOL). The treatment has questionable benefit, nevertheless is considered a quality indicator of end-of-life (EOL) care. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the rates and potential predictors of SACT and factors associated with SACT within the last 30 DOL. The study also evaluates the scope of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) as decision-making tools for oncologists.
Patients and Material: This review of medical records included 383 patients with non-curable cancer who died between July 2018 and December 2019. Descriptive statistics with Chi-squared tests and regression analysis were used to identify factors associated with SACT within the last 30 DOL.
Results: Fifty-seven (15%) patients received SACT within the last 30 DOL. SACT within 30 last DOL was associated with shorter time from diagnosis until death (median 234 days vs. 482, p = 0.008) and ECOG score < 3 30 days prior to death (p = 0.001). Patients receiving SACT during the last 30 DOL were more likely to be hospitalised and die in hospital. ECOG and mGPS score were stated at start last line of treatment only in 139 (51%) and 135 (49%) respectively.
Interpretation: Those with short time since diagnosis tended to receive SACT more frequently the last 30 DOL. The use of mGPS as a decision-making tool is modest, and there is lack in documentation of performance status.

Published: May 2024

Background and purpose: Stage at cancer diagnosis is an important predictor of cancer survival. TNM stage is constructed for anatomic solid cancer diagnoses from tumor size (T), nodal spread (N) and distant metastasis (M) and categorized in groups 0–I, II, II and IV. TNM stage is imperative in cancer diagnosis, management and control, and of high value in cancer surveillance, for example, monitoring of stage distributions. This study yields an overview of TNM availability and trends in stage distribution in the Nordic countries for future use in monitoring and epidemiologic studies.
Material and methods: TNM information was acquired from the cancer registries in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland during 2004–2016 for 26 cancer sites in the three former countries and four in Iceland. We studied availability, comparability, and distribution of TNM stage in three periods: 2004–2008, 2009–2013, and 2014–2016, applying a previously validated algorithm of ‘N0M0 for NXMX’. For cancers of colon, rectum, lung, breast, and kidney, we examined TNM stage-specific 1-year relative survival to evaluate the quality in registration of TNM between countries.
Results: Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland exhibited available TNM stage proportions of 75–95% while proportions were lower in Norway. Proportions increased in Sweden over time but decreased in Denmark. One-year relative survival differed substantially more between TNM stages than between countries emphasizing that TNM stage is an important predictor for survival and that stage recording is performed similarly in the Nordic countries.
Interpretation: Assessment and registration of TNM stage is an imperative tool in evaluations of trends in cancer survival between the Nordic countries.

Authors: Romadona Suci Fitria , Dewantoro Fajar
Published: May 2024

Development in Bandar Lampung is increasing rapidly, causing an increase in transportation development. The development of transportation in the city of Bandar Lampung is currently still experiencing severe problems, so traffic hours often occur. The high level of congestion on the highway is caused by several things, including the unbalanced road capacity and vehicle volume and the presence of side obstacles, which add to congestion on the Z.A. Pagaralam road section. Apart from being a public road, Pagaralam is also located in one of the busiest economic centers in the city of Bandar Lampung. Along this stretch of road are campuses, schools, shops, pharmacies, shopping centers, and street vendors, and it is also a transfer point for passengers moving from one public transport to another, causing many side obstacles to occur on the road. To overcome this, it is necessary to analyze the influence of side obstacles on traffic performance. Data analysis was carried out using the PKJI 2014 method. The analysis of traffic volume obtained a value of 4747.75 cur/hour. The analysis results of the highest side obstacles were obtained on Tuesday at 12.00 – 14.00 segment 1 amounting to 838.90 incident weights. Keywords: Traffic Volume, Side Obstacles, PKJI 2014.
Community Conversations: A Tool in Improving Health Outcomes and Reducing the Burden of Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-azar) in Isiolo County, Kenya
Authors: Marangu Victor Mwiti , Kei Robert Mburugu , Kagendo Dorothy
Published: May 2024

Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-azar) is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by Leishmania species that affects human. Transmission is through the bite of Phlebotomus sandflies. Globally, WHO ranks Kala-azar as the second largest parasitic killer after Malaria. The disease poses a threat to more than a billion people on almost every continent. Approximately 90% of Kala-azar global burden is found in Africa. Major endemicity is documented in Eastern Africa (Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia). Accurate burden of the disease in Kenya is unknown attributable to inadequate information on disease prevalence, diagnostic challenges, and spatial distribution. Additionally, morbidity and mortality levels from the disease in the Country are unknown ascribable to a low index of suspicion by healthcare workers, diagnostic challenges, and case management. An example of diagnostic challenges is a reported outbreak of ‘unknown disease’ akin to Kala-azar in Marsabit County in May 2023 where nine people were confirmed dead and over 80 hospitalized. This study aimed to analyze community’s prioritization of causes of Kalaazar as well as community awareness of disease prevention and control. Quantitative data were collected using Participatory Epidemiology methods in purposively selected study villages. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Study findings indicated that 97.2% of respondents had heard about Kala-azar. Despite the awareness, a broad gap between knowledge and practice of prevention and control strategies of the disease was evident. Kala-azar was associated with human behaviour like preferences for traditional and alternative treatment approaches (45.2%), evening outdoor practices before going to bed (99.6%), sleeping outdoors (60.1%), occasional bed nets use (69.2%), and availability of domestic animals and wild animals within house yards (54.6%). Cultural beliefs and practices were noted to play a key role in augmenting the disease burden, where most cases had burn scars from traditional healers’ therapeutic burns. As a consequence, they sought medical help after onset of complications, which ranged from increased severity to fatalities. Community engagement was minimal in prevention and control. In this participatory research, we propose behaviour change communication activities for the elimination of Kala-azar as a public health problem. This article serves as a base for future studies aimed at giving voice to communities while enhancing their understanding of causes of diseases, the possibility of enhanced early diagnostic techniques, and options for prevention, control, and surveillance which in turn is translated to action.
ANATOMICAL VARIABILITY OF THE SEGMENTS OF THE INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE IN THE PEOPLE OF SECOND PERIOD OF MATURE AND OLDER AGE
Authors: Oshurko Anatolii , Makarchuk Ihor
Published: May 2024

To avoid complications of bicortical implantation, great importance is attached to the study of individual morphological features of the mandible and its structures, in particular, the anatomical variability of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and mandibular canal. The purpose of the study was to ﬁ nd out the peculiarities of the structure, topography and individual anatomical variability of the IAN in persons of the second period of maturity and older age. Cone-beam computer tomography of 54 people of both sexes aged 45-65 years with three- dimensional reconstruction, morphometry and statistical analysis was studied. On the basis of our own research on the topographical and anatomical features of the IAN and its syntopy with the mandible, in particular, with the mandibular canal, we propose to distinguish 4 of its divisions: extra- canal – from the place of formation to the entrance to the mandibular canal; intracanal – from the mandibular foramen to the mental foramen; mental – after exiting the mandibular canal; incisive – after the departure of the mental branch. The topographical and anatomical features and anatomical variability of the IAN were studied. In people of the second period of mature and elderly age, anatomical variability of the macroscopic structure and topography of the IAN was established, which manifested itself in high (4.0-11.0 mm) and low (22.0-33.0 mm) levels, relative to the foramen ovale its beginning and form (one or two trunks) of departure from the mandibular nerve. The largest number of nerve connections with other branches of the mandibular nerve is formed by the extracanal section of the IAN: with the auriculo-t emporal nerve (29 cases – 53.7 %), with the lingual nerve (5 cases – 9.26 %), with the nerve of the medial pterygoid muscle (3 observations – 5.56 %) and with the nerve of the lateral pterygoid muscle (2 specimens – 3.7 %). A diﬀ erent level of departure of the nerve to mylohyoid from the extracanal section of the IAN was established: high (5.0-7.0 mm) and low (27.0-31.0 mm). Anatomical variability of the intracanal part of the IAN was manifested by structural variants: a single trunk (43 cases, 79.6 %), rarely – two trunks (11 observations, 20.4 %) and very rarely – the lower dental plexus (6 specimens, 11,11 %). The proximity of the roots of the 7th and 8th teeth to the IAN can be the cause of severe pain in the pathology of these teeth and cause nerve damage during their removal. Nerve connections occur between the right and left incisive nerves, the knowledge of which is an important practical value for performing anesthesia of the front row of teeth. The number of branches to the teeth, interalveolar septa and gingiva from the IAN signiﬁ cantly decreases with age and with a violation of the integrity of the dentition.
PECULIARITIES OF THE COURSE OF PREGNANCY AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF GENITAL INFECTIONS
Authors: Psariuk Uriy , Kalinovska Iryna
Published: May 2024

The article provides an analysis of literature data on the course of pregnancy in the presence of genital infections. To date, there are no clear criteria for the diagnosis of intrauterine infection, and the relationships between the infection of the fetus during pregnancy with various types of microorganisms have not been clariﬁ ed. Congenital infection is one of the most important medical and social problems of modern obstetrics and perinatology. Clinical manifestations depend on the type and virulence of the causative agent, the course of the infectious process in the mother (acute, latent, stage of remission or exacerbation), massiveness of insemination, ways of infection penetration into the body of the pregnant woman, immunological reactivity of the woman, gestation period at infection. In the case of an infectious disease of the mother, during pregnancy, the embryo and fetus are aﬀ ected not only by pathogens, but also by toxic substances that are formed when the mother’s metabolism is disturbed, hyperthermia and hypoxia of tissues, which are observed during an exacerbation. The period of gestation plays an important, and sometimes leading, role in the development of the disease. With the inﬂ uence of infection, in the fetal period, intrauterine infection and death of the fetus, miscarriage, fetoplacental insu ﬃ ciency are also possible. Under these conditions, the formation of a complex of pathological changes in the fetus is possible, which can be the direct cause of its ante- and postnatal death. When the fetus is infected before delivery, the manifestations of intrauterine infection depend on the stage of the disease. If at the time of delivery the disease is in the initial phase, then the infection manifests itself within the ﬁ rst 3 days after birth. If childbirth takes place at the ﬁ nal stage of the disease, disadaptation syndrome is more often observed in the early neonatal period, later, chronicity of the process and persistent latent infection are possible. Childbirth is a critical period, during which the development of an infectious process in the fetus can be caused even by the opportunistic microﬂ ora of the vagina, which is not clinically evident in the mother.

Authors: Frías Sonia M.
Published: May 2024

La violencia y victimización de niños/as y adolescentes mexicanos ha recibido poca atención académica y gubernamental en comparación con la destinada a las personas adultas. Los datos sobre la prevalencia del fenómeno son hallazgos de las encuestas con representatividad nacional; no obstante, tienen limitaciones. Con el objetivo de contribuir a su conocimiento, se desarrollaron dos cuestionarios de una encuesta para medir de manera holística esta experiencia. El estudio piloto se llevó a cabo en el estado de Morelos a partir de una muestra no probabilística conformada por 207 entrevistas a cuidadores/as de niños/as (0-11 años) y 368 realizadas a adolescentes (12-17 años). Se discuten las implicaciones metodológicas, éticas y las recomendaciones vinculadas a los estudios cuantitativos sobre violencia y victimización de niños/as y adolescentes.

Published: May 2024

Según normativas vigentes, una de las finalidades de la escuela secundaria argentina es la de preparar a sus estudiantes para el ejercicio pleno de la ciudadanía, el mundo productivo y la continuación de estudios superiores. En Río Negro, en el año 2017, entró en vigencia un nuevo Diseño Curricular para la escuela secundaria que, entre otros aspectos, modificó su estructura organizativa - curricular y propuso como una de las orientaciones posibles a la Educación Física. Desde un enfoque cualitativo con foco en el análisis documental analizamos el Diseño Curricular vigente en torno a los aportes de la orientación en Educación Física y específicamente, de los saberes que se ponen en juego y el lugar que tiene la enseñanza de los deportes en este trayecto formativo. Los resultados preliminares indican que las asignaturas que forman parte de dicha orientación contemplan diversas prácticas corporales que interpelan la centralidad que el deporte ha tenido históricamente en la Educación Física escolar, al menos, a nivel del documento curricular. Entendemos que los saberes que sostienen el discurso de la orientación, dan indicios acerca de qué enseñanza se promueve, a qué sujeto apunta y cuál es su intencionalidad.
Silent violence to the core: Environmental suffering and suffocating uncertainties in the Colombian Caribbean coal industry
Authors: Lugo-Vivas Diego Andrés
Published: May 2024

For many, the coal industry in Colombia has been synonymous with progress, economic growth and access to education and housing opportunities on the Caribbean mining frontier. However, little has been said about the slow, dosed and silent violence that has permeated the ecological systems and human groups alike. This article argues that health and environmental damage in the Cesar mining corridor express quotidian, but no less painful and profound, forms of environmental suffering. Using notions such as toxic uncertainty, the article expands our understanding of environmental violence in a region prey to coal pollution.
Management of medial luxation of the shoulder joint in toy-breed dogs using an antiluxation pin placed lateral to the supraspinatus muscle tendon: 20 limbs (2017–2022)
Authors: Aikawa Takeshi , Kihara Shuya , Miyazaki Yuta , Muyama Hiromi , Nishimura Masaaki
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

To describe the clinical and diagnostic findings, surgical procedures, and clinical course of dogs with medial shoulder luxation (MSL) treated with a novel method using an antiluxation pin.

ANIMALS

18 client-owned toy-breed dogs (20 treated limbs).

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Toy-breed dogs with MSL were treated with the antiluxation pin (2017 to 2022). The collected data included signalment, cause of luxation, preoperative and follow-up clinical evaluations with lameness scores (LMS), and radiographic and/or CT findings.

RESULTS

Toy Poodle was the most represented breed (17 of 18 dogs [94.4%]). The median age was 10 years. One of 18 dogs had a history of trauma. Medial luxation was confirmed in all limbs using radiography or palpation under general anesthesia. Reluxation occurred in 3 limbs at 1, 4, and 30 days after surgery, respectively. Of these 3 limbs, 1 limb underwent revision to replace the original pin and the other 2 limbs underwent no further treatment. One limb with persistent pain underwent 2 revision surgeries to adjust the pin orientation 30 and 72 days after the initial surgery. Eighteen limbs remained unluxated after the initial or revision surgery until the final follow-up (median, 18.5 months; range, 1 to 63 months). The LMS at the final follow-up for the 18 unluxated limbs (mean, 0.5) was significantly lower than the preoperative LMS (mean, 4.5) (P < .01).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

A novel method of the antiluxation pin provides an alternative surgical treatment for MSL in toy-breed dogs that is minimally invasive and technically simple.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The role of peer groups is very important in the treatment process for HIV/AIDS patients which determines the health condition and quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients, however, peer group support has not been integrated with health services.
 
Aim: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of peer group support based on the chronic care model (CCM) on ARV treatment adherence, level of immunity, and quality of life for HIV/AIDS patients.
 
Method: This research used a quasi-experimental design (pre-post test with control group design). The research population was patients with HIV/AIDS with a sample of 30 people in each control and intervention group. Data was collected using questionnaires and blood samples from PLHIV, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and Mann Whitney.
 
Results: Effect test results show that there is a significant influence of chronic care model-based peer group support on ARV treatment adherence (0.000), CD4 count (0.000), Viral Load (0.000), Opportunistic Infections (0.000) and quality of life (0.000) in HIV patients /AIDS.
 
Conclusion: Peer group support based on the chronic care model affects ARV treatment adherence, level of immunity, and quality of life for HIV/AIDS patients. Peer group support based on the chronic care model increases adherence to ARV treatment, increases CD4 counts, increases viral load, reduces the incidence of opportunistic infections, and improves quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients.

Published: May 2024

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of pregnantwomen among residents of anesthesia in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among residents of anesthesia from R1 to R5, who were under training in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during the study period from October 2023 to April 2024. The sample included 150 participants, which constituted 65.7% of the total residents of anesthesia in Riyadh.
Results: The study sample comprised 150 residents, with a mean age of 28.4 ± 7.8, and 56.7% were men. Furthermore, 32% of the participants were level 1 residents, making up the majority. Around 76% of the participants completed CPR training in the previous year. Of the centers offering CPR classes, King Khalid University Hospital was the most common (27.3%). Of the participants, 41.3% strongly agreed, 38% agreed, and 8.7% disagreed that more CPR training is required for pregnant women who experienced cardiac arrest. The highest mean score on the evaluation scale was 3.9 ± 0.92 for airway management competency, while the lowest mean score was 2.6 ± 0.93 for overall pregnant CPR competency. Gender, residence levels, and training center all had a significant correlation with the total level of knowledge, with p-values of 0.017, 0.000, and 0.001, respectively.
Conclusion: The research shows that residents did not know enough about the fundamentals of CPR for pregnant women. It was believed that all anesthesia residents should get specialized CPR certification, with an emphasis on the unique concerns that affect pregnant women.
Dyktatorskie państwo agresorskie jako sąsiad Polski. Rosja i Rosjanie w dobie wojny w Ukrainie w polskich cybermemach
Authors:   Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Dojwa‑Turczyńska Katarzyna
Published: May 2024

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine appears to be an unprecedented event, evoking associations with the nightmare of wars, crimes or even genocides of the 20th century. From the perspective of Poland as a neighboring country, the events unfolding in Ukraine entail political and social reactions related to helping the invaded country. Both those in power and society almost un- equivocally side with the invaded state. This multifaceted support for Ukraine implies raising the question of how Poland’s other neighbor, Russia, is perceived in times of war. The answer to this question is provided by opinion polls, indicating that Poles are al- most unambiguously on the side of Ukraine. Nevertheless, in the era of conflict, issues relating to what cognitive categories Russia is perceived through become important. The answer to this question was formulated on the basis of non‑reactive research conducted on Internet picture memes using the content analysis method. The results show a critical attitude of Poles toward Russia and Russians. Russia in the era of conflict was perceived primarily through the prism of politics and the dictatorial form of governance before President of the Russian Federation Wladimir Putin. There is no media pluralism in Russia, while vertical propaganda broadcasts content justifying the attack on Ukraine gaining public approval in this regard. Russian society is mentally, axionormatively, culturally and structurally different from Western societies, and thus Polish society. Russians are characterized by a sense of superiority to other nations, which memes criticize. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine brings sanctions for the aggressor. Memes present their effects on the economy and society, subjecting them to hyperbolization.
Corruption and politics: Comments on the specificity of the Polish model of transformation
Authors:   Uniwersytet Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie, Purchla Jakub
Published: May 2024

The premise for undertaking the above topic is the conviction that it is impossible to understand the causes and scale of corruption in Poland without referring to the shape of political, economic, and social changes initiated by the democratization process from the turn of 90s in the last century. Corruption, as a phenomenon with a broad, often unobvious foundation, is characterized by diffi- culty in combating it. It is not the intention from this article’s point of view on the issue to strictly define the concept of corruption. For its use, it will be equated with every action in which public positions are used for private purposes and where benefits are gained.² Corruption is a category of crime in which often only the perpetrators have knowledge about its occurrence, and which is often “covered” by other criminal acts such as fraud, mismanagement, failure to perform duties, or money laundering. Often, there are no external signs indicating that corruption has occurred. Consequently, the researchers of the phenomenon are forced to face its mythologization. The aim of this article is to possibly confront facts about corruption in contemporary Poland with the specificity of the Polish way of leaving behind communism. In my opinion and in the recent past, there are also many myths rooted in political disputes of the last three decades. Presen- tation of key historical aspects should contribute to the disclosure of the main determinants of corruption in Poland and, as an effect, result in a better chance of combating corruption. The study used the methods of scientific inference and analysis. The study used legal acts, reports of state institutions and secondary sources of information (source literature).

Avaliação em larga escala criada em 1998, com o intuito de aferir o conhecimento dos concluintes do Ensino Médio, o Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem) passou por alterações em 2009. Assim sendo, este artigo deriva de pesquisa cujo objetivo principal foi compreender, a partir da Análise do Discurso Materialista, relações de forças em jogo nos discursos de “textos fundadores” do Novo Enem – Portarias que correspondem ao corpus de via arquivista. O trabalho analítico-discursivo possibilitou reconhecer o Enem como campo de disputas políticas e pedagógicas, uma vez que os documentos apontaram para um sentido não exclusivo de protagonismo do participante, denotando posições ideológicas em tensão entre o entendimento do Exame como referência de autoavaliação ou procedimento de avaliação do sujeito.

Corruption is an extraordinary crime, so extraordinary methods are also needed to prevent and eradicate this crime. The imposition of serious crimes is one of the ways needed to eradicate them, then new punitive breakthroughs are also needed in order to provide a sense of deterrence and fear to both the perpetrators and the community. Several cases that have been decided during the trial of corruption at the first level, among others, are on behalf of the accused, Inspector General. Djoko Susilo in the corruption case of the procurement of a driving license (SIM) simulator tool, the KPK Public Prosecutor demanded additional crimes of revoking the right to vote and vote in general elections and public office (political rights), and the panel of judges granted the demands at the appeal level. This additional punishment is regulated in article 35 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with article 18 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Corruption. This research uses normative legal research methods, supported by primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources. With descriptive qualitative analysis.The problem with this additional punishment for depriving political rights is how to apply this additional punishment for depriving political rights in the prevention and eradication of corruption, because of course the KPK has strong reasons why this additional punishment is included as a punishment for perpetrators of corruption.

Resumen
The functions of peripheral combinations of N. M. Karamzin's novella "Natalia, the Boyar's Daughter"
Authors: Mikhailenko Arina Yur'evna
Published: May 2024

The linguistic description of a literary text involves consideration of its semantic structure, by which, following L. A. Novikov, we understand the system of images of the work and the linguistic means of their embodiment in the author's text. Peripheral combinations play a significant role in the arsenal of artistic techniques of N.M. Karamzin, implemented in sentimental novels, and demonstrate primarily the functions of indicating feelings and states, embellishing speech, author's characterization and poetization of prose text. The subject of the study of the analyzed text of N. M. Karamzin's novella "Natalia, the boyar's daughter" is periphrasis as a special means of creating a semantic structure. The relevance of the work is due to the clarification of the status of the periphrase as an important structural element of the sentimental story. The aim of the work was to clarify the concept of periphrasis in the modern and preceding N. M. Karamzin literary tradition and highlight its functions in the texts of the stories.  The methodological basis of the study was the work of Russian linguists of the V. V. Vinogradov school, based on a system-functional approach to the analysis of the language of fiction. The conducted research allowed us to conclude that the periphrasis is the basis of N. M. Karamzin's imagery and implements the functions of speech decoration; characterization, in which the periphrasis contains the author's attitude to the hero; stylistically marked periphrastic combinations serve to separate parts of the story, for example, the author's digression and the main text of the story. The novelty of the research lies in clarifying the functions of the periphrasis as the central means of the semantic structure of the sentimental story. Periphrases are becoming one of the new tools for constructing the semantic structure of a prose work of the emerging aesthetics of sentimentalism. The use of periphrases is included in the concept of reforming the Russian language by introducing elements peculiar to the sentimental style of French salon literature into the text, while generally ordering syntax at the level of a simple and complex sentence.
Ensuring the right to use the results of scientific progress in the context of the formation of new threats to human security and the problem of the circulation of dual-use technologies
Authors: Malichenko Vladislav Sergeevich
Published: May 2024

The subject of the study is international legal norms, documents of international organizations, as well as acts of domestic law that establish guarantees for ensuring the human right to use the results of scientific progress, as well as forming international legal mechanisms for the transfer of scientific knowledge and health technologies that can be used for military operations, as well as the implementation of terrorist and other illegal activity. The object of the study is public relations arising from the interaction of various subjects of international relations within the framework of the development of international legal mechanisms, as well as the adoption of documents defining the procedure for access to dual-use healthcare technologies. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for the formation of international legal mechanisms aimed at ensuring a balance of public law guarantees for the realization of the human right to use the results of scientific progress and priorities in the field of human and state security.  The research methodology is based on general scientific methods of cognition, including formal logical and situational, and private legal methods such as comparative legal, historical legal and formal legal. Technological advances are a fundamental condition for ensuring health protection, social assistance, as well as countering natural and intentional emergencies. However, a number of technologies (genomic editing, artificial intelligence, etc.) can be used to carry out acts of terrorism or conduct military activities. The introduction of international legal means aimed at increasing access to scientific knowledge or health technologies can lead to their uncontrolled use, forming a new threat to human and State security. The paper presents an analysis of international legal guarantees of ensuring the human right to health, as well as a systematized list of healthcare technologies with the possibility of dual-use. The article presents a list of international legal means to ensure control over the circulation of dual-use healthcare technologies. The authors have formulated a number of practical recommendations aimed at determining the regulatory content of the right to use the results of scientific progress in the context of modern challenges of technological development.
Interventions at the Local Spheres of Government in South Africa: An Assessment of Monitoring and Evaluation
Authors: Mlambo Daniel , Maserumule Mashupye H.
Published: May 2024

The post-1994 landscape in South Africa presented millions of individuals—especially the majority Black population who had been subjected to many apartheid policies—with renewed hope for better and improved development opportunities. This stemmed from the fact that the first democratically elected administration of the African National Congress (ANC) promised immense socioeconomic change when they assumed office. These promises became evident from the many socioeconomic policies and Chapter 9 institutions that came to the fore over the last two decades, as well as the mapping of new legislation and policies for local government as enshrined in the Constitution of 1996. These actions were viewed to further the envisioned development trajectories of government, especially as the local government is the government closest to the people. However, post-1994, some municipalities in South Africa have endured massive challenges that have needed numerous involvements from the government through various interventions. This has been a continuous phenomenon, irrespective of the many policies at play to oversee the smooth operation of municipalities. This article delves into the failure of some municipalities in South Africa and interventions of local government in post-apartheid South Africa by scrutinising what drives this phenomenon. Furthermore, it dwells on the impact and challenges of effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) policies at the local government level.
NEW INDUCTANCE CALCULATING FORMULAS OF PLANAR SYMMETRICAL SQUARE INDUCTORS
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Omsk, Russia, Erokhin V. V. , Zavyalov S. A. ,   Omsk State Technical University, Omsk, Russia

The paper presents new analytical formulas for calculating the inductance of planar symmetrical square inductors. The formulas are obtained by using the modified method of inductors layout decomposition. The inductors layout is divided into parts (inner incomplete turn, full turns, leads) and the total inductances of each part and the mutual inductances between the parts are calculated. Comparison with the results of 3D finite element modeling in ADS CAD showed that the proposed formulas have an error of no more than 2% for inductance value from 100 pH to 10 nH.
