Background. In young children, the most common liver disease leading to transplantation is biliary atresia. Liver transplantation has fundamentally improved the survival rate of children with biliary atresia. Studies on developmental outcomes in children are mostly limited to small samples; there are no such studies in the Russian Federation.

Objective: to determine the cognitive outcomes in children undergoing one-stage or two-stage surgical treatment of biliary atresia.

Materials and Methods. 83 children were divided into groups: 36 children underwent transplantation without previous surgical interventions (group 1), 47 children underwent the Kasai palliative portoenterostomy (group 2). Inclusion criteria: 24 months of age or younger at the moment of transplantation, no medical history of neurological pathology. All children were examined before transplantation and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after liver transplantation. Psychomotor development was assessed using the Griffiths Psychomotor Development Scale for children under 24 months (translated by E.S. Keshishian), the Griffiths Intellectual Development Scale for children aged 2 to 8 years, and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised, for children 16-30 months old.

Results. All children had developmental delays at the time of transplantation. Up to 50% of the children had signs of cachexia, with a shoulder circumference of less than 3 percentile. Only two children showed obvious hepatic encephalopathy in the form of depressed consciousness. After liver transplantation, 94% of group 1 children recovered their preoperative psychomotor development levels, and only 68% in group 2 made these gains. At 3 and 6 months after transplantation, about 80% of group 1 children showed normal psychomotor development, whereas in group 2, only 61% did. By 12 months after liver transplantation, the difference between the groups was more evident: 83.3% of group 1 children and only 53.2% of group 2 children were developing according to age. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Conclusion. Children who received one-stage treatment of biliary atresia and underwent liver transplantation have better neuropsychological development within a year after surgery than children with two-stage surgical treatment.

Published: September 2021

O entorno do Distrito Federal tem sofrido importantes transformações decorrentes de investimentos públicos significativos em infraestrutura. No vetor sudoeste da Região Integrada de Desenvolvimento Econômico do Distrito Federal, tal processo pode ser exemplificado pela implantação da rodovia BR-060 e, mais especificamente, do reservatório da Usina Hidrelétrica Corumbá IV. Este trabalho, resultante de uma pesquisa de pós-doutoramento, tem por objetivo analisar a relação de dois instrumentos de planejamento (Plano Ambiental de Conservação e Uso da Água do Entorno do Reservatório e Planos Diretores) incidentes no entorno desse reservatório com processos de expansão urbana nos municípios de Santo Antonio do Descoberto, Alexânia e Abadiânia. Para tal, foram utilizadas pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, bem como visitas de campo e produção de mapas, tabelas e quadros comparativos. Como resultado, constatou-se que ambos os instrumentos não têm servido como regulações ou parâmetros efetivos de ordenação territorial, mas sim como ferramentas para legitimar interesses de grupos locais dominantes vinculados à valorização de terras em vetores de expansão urbana voltados à segunda residência e turismo em áreas ambientalmente frágeis dos municípios analisados. Tais processos, somados aos conflitos na gestão de um território que perpassa e sobrepõe esferas administrativas diversas, têm ocasionado relevantes impactos socioambientais no recorte estudado
A Semi-exact Algorithm for Quickly Computing A Maximum Weight Clique in Large Sparse Graphs
Authors: Cai Shaowei , Lin Jinkun , Wang Yiyuan , Strash Darren
Published: September 2021

This paper explores techniques to quickly solve the maximum weight clique problem (MWCP) in very large scale sparse graphs. Due to their size, and the hardness of MWCP, it is infeasible to solve many of these graphs with exact algorithms. Although recent heuristic algorithms make progress in solving MWCP in large graphs, they still need considerable time to get a high-quality solution. In this work, we focus on solving MWCP for large sparse graphs within a short time limit. We propose a new method for MWCP which interleaves clique finding with data reduction rules. We propose novel ideas to make this process efficient, and develop an algorithm called FastWClq. Experiments on a broad range of large sparse graphs show that FastWClq finds better solutions than state-of-the-art algorithms while the running time of FastWClq is much shorter than the competitors for most instances. Further, FastWClq proves the optimality of its solutions for roughly half of the graphs, all with at least 105 vertices, with an average time of 21 seconds.

Published: September 2021

Devido a sua alta variabilidade espacial e temporal, a direção do vento é um dos elementos meteorológicos que necessitam precisão e eficiência em sua medida. Este artigo tem por objetivo a validação de um protótipo de anemoscópio construído baseado em um

magnetômetro, pela comparação com os dados medidos por uma estação meteorológica portátil marca Vaisala modelo WXT510. O desenvolvimento do protótipo se dividiu em: (i) fabricação do conjunto mecânico, (ii) fabricação do conjunto eletrônico; (iii) programação do controlador Arduino e (iv) coleta e tratamento dos dados de direção do vento. A leitura da direção do vento se dá no alinhamento entre o corpo móvel com o ímã de neodímio embutido e o vento, sendo que o magnetômetro mede o campo magnético e envia os dados para um controlador Arduino, que calcula a direção do campo magnético com os dados obtidos, gravando a média desta direção a cada minuto em um cartão de memórias SD (Secure digital). O protótipo foi colocado em teste em campo ao lado de uma estação portátil, marca Vaisala, modelo WXT510, durante 47 dias (entre agosto e setembro de 2019), com as duas estações gravando os dados de direção do vento a cada minuto.

Published: September 2021

A rápida expansão da mecanização agrícola resultou na geração de um setor despreparado para a prevenção dos acidentes de trabalho, em especial aos que ocorrem com os tratores agrícolas. Com isso, são frequentes as notícias vinculadas nos meios de comunicação sobre acidentes de trabalho envolvendo operadores de tratores no meio rural, ainda que sua quantificação oficial seja difícil, devido à subnotificação desses acidentes. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um diagnóstico sobre os acidentes de trabalho com tratores agrícolas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, com base em casos judiciais, a fim de apurar as causas dos acidentes, a atribuição de responsabilidades e a magnitude das consequências representadas pelos danos materiais e pessoais decorrentes desses casos. Através do método dedutivo-sistemático-analítico e da estatística descritiva, foram analisados 60 casos de acidentes de trabalho, no período de 2000 a 2018 e que geraram demandas judiciais. Constatou-se que 96,8% dos acidentes poderiam ter sido evitados por meio da prevenção, afastando o ato e a condição insegura nas atividades. Em 62% dos casos o ato inseguro foi a causa dos acidentes, e 14% foram resultantes da combinação do ato inseguro e da condição insegura. Quanto à responsabilização pela ocorrência do acidente, o empregador foi o responsável direto ou indireto em 59% dos casos, principalmente pela inobservância das regras de segurança do trabalho, em especial no atendimento das Normas Regulamentadoras NR 12 e NR 31. O óbito do operador ocorreu em 45% dos acidentes pesquisados, decorrentes do capotamento ou tombamento do trator agrícola. Dessa forma, a análise destes acidentes demonstrou que, em nenhum deles o fato gerador está relacionado a máquina, mas sim a falha humana. Além disso, somente a mudança na postura dos empregadores e trabalhadores poderá resultar na melhoria deste cenário.

What of the Child? Preventing the Publication of Children's Names After the Age of 18
Authors: Baird Sophy
Published: September 2021

Children are afforded a number of protections when they encounter the criminal justice system. The need for special protection stems from the vulnerable position children occupy in society. When children form part of the criminal justice system, either by being an offender, victim, or witness, they may be subjected to harm. To mitigate against the potential harm that may be caused, our law provides that criminal proceedings involving children should not be open to the public, subject to the discretion of the court. This protection naturally seems at odds with the principle of open justice. However, the courts have reconciled the limitation with the legal purpose it serves. For all the protection and the lengths that the law goes to protect the identity of children in this regard, it appears there is an unofficial timer dictating when this protection should end. The media have been at the forefront of this conundrum to the extent that they believe that once a child (offender, victim, or witness) turns 18 years old, they are free to reveal the child's identity. This belief, grounded in the right to freedom of expression and the principle of open justice, is at odds with the principle of child's best interests, right to dignity and the right to privacy. It also stares incredulously in the face of the aims of the Child Justice Act and the principles of restorative justice. Measured against the detrimental psychological effects experienced by child victims, witnesses, and offenders, this article aims to critically analyse the legal and practical implications of revealing the identity of child victims, witnesses, and offenders after they turn 18 years old.

Authors: Gustian Uray
Published: September 2021

Motor skills are important skills that must be possessed by every student because it has an influence on the overall student development. However, various obstacles that affect the achievement of students' motor skills often occur during the implementation of motor skill learning. The purpose of this research was to find learning activities that can stimulate motor skills of elementary school students. Experiments were carried out using One-Group Pre-test Post-test Design. Participants of the study were 126 first grade elementary school students, consisting of 76 males and 50 females aged 6-6.5 years. The sampling technique used the total sampling method. The data collection technique used the Test of Gross Motor Skill-Second Edition (TGMD-2) with an observation sheet instrument. The analysis employed SPSS 20 with a paired sample test. The results showed that there was an increase in the post-test mean score compared to the pre-test mean score with a significant increase. This increase occurred because traditional games used a play-based approach and encouraged students to use their motor skills. For that reason, traditional games are effective in improving motor skills of elementary school students.

Discussão sobre vacinas e medicamentos para a COVID-19: necessidade de acrescentar uma dimensão ética
Authors: Mota-Filipe Helder
Published: September 2021

The pneumonia outbreak caused by a new species of coronavirus at the end of 2019 in Wuhan (China) led to a pandemic with more than 200 million people infected and about 4.5 million deaths worldwide and which continue to increase. Despite the short time elapsed (less than two years), much progress has been made in the management of the disease and patients and in the development of vaccines and other drugs for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, associated with several ethical challenges. Many drugs approved for other therapeutic indications were used outside the formally approved indications, raising questions regarding the validity of results and observance of fundamental ethical principles. The World Health Organization has taken a clear position on the use of drugs without sufficient evidence for COVID-19 patients and has promoted the performance of randomized clinical trials. Currently, more than 6,000 clinical studies are registered with the aim of studying different therapeutic approaches for COVID-19. At the same time, the first safe and effective vaccines against COVID-19 were developed and approved. Vaccines and the vaccination process have also raised issues with an important ethical component. Today, it is no longer acceptable to experiment with potential therapies outside the context of clinical trials, and a strategy for discovering effective treatments for COVID-19 should be promoted. A discussion, including the ethical dimension, about the best use of these vaccines, considering the global fight against the pandemic, is also essential.

Constructing the “Competent” Pupil: Optimizing Human Futures Through Testing?
Authors: Dahmen Stephan
Published: September 2021

In the last decade, the German transition system has witnessed the large‐scale introduction of so‐called “analysis of potentials” (Potenzialanalysen) in secondary compulsory schooling. In most German Länder, 8th graders must participate in a two‐day assessment center which combines psychometric testing with observations of their social and professional competencies in pre‐specified tasks. The programmatic aim of these assessments is to “introduce pupils early to choosing a job” (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung [BMBF], 2017, p. 2) as well as to enhance the propensity of pupils to “take responsibility for their own future” (BMBF, 2017, p. 9). In the context of the German school‐to‐work system, the introduction of these new forms of diagnostics bear witness to a new preventive political rationality that aims at reducing the entry age into upper secondary education, reduce the recourse to so‐called “transition measures” and optimizing transitions into an apprenticeship market that is characterized by structural inequalities and “mismatch” between pupils’ job aspirations and the offers in apprenticeship places. However, little is known on the role of competency testing devices for the construction of further trajectories and aspirations and their role in the reproduction of inequalities in transitions from school to work. Based on an in‐depth analysis of policy documents and competency profiles (the documents handed out to the pupils after undergoing testing), the article reconstructs the political rationale for the introduction of the so‐called Potenzialanalysen. Based on a Foucauldian framework, we show how pupils are constructed as “competent” subjects. We show that competency assessments are part and parcel of a political rationality that aims at the promotion of a specific (future‐oriented, optimized, self‐regulated) relation to one’s own biographical future on the side of the pupils. Our results demonstrate that competency profiles construct the process of choosing a job as an individualized project of the self and that they invisibilize structural barriers and power relations. In doing so, competency assessments potentially contribute to the reproduction of inequalities in post‐secondary education through delegating “cooling out” processes from institutional gatekeepers to the interiority of persons.

PARTICULARS OF A WAVE FIELD IN A SEMI-INFINITE WAVEGUIDE WITH MIXED BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AT ITS EDGE
Authors: Gorodetskaya N. , Starovoit I , Shcherbak T.
Published: September 2021

The work is devoted to the analysis of the wave field, which is excited by the reflection of the first normal propagation Rayleigh-Lamb wave from the edge of an elastic semi-infinite strip, part of which is rigidly clamped, and part is free from stresses. The boundary value problem belongs to the class of mixed boundary value problems, the characteristic feature of which is the presence of a local feature of stresses at the point of change of the type of boundary conditions. To solve this boundary value problem, the paper proposes a method of superposition, which allows to take into account the feature of stresses due to the asymptotic properties of the unknown coefficients. Asymptotic dependences for coefficients are determined by the nature of the feature, which is known from the solution of the static problem. The criterion for the correctness of the obtained results was the control of the accuracy of the law of conservation of energy, the error of which did not exceed 2% of the energy of the incident wave for the entire considered frequency range. The paper evaluates the accuracy of the boundary conditions. It is shown that the boundary conditions are fulfilled with graphical accuracy along the entire end of the semi-infinite strip, except around a special point ($\epsilon$). In this case, along the clamped end of the semi-infinite strip in the vicinity of a special point of stress remain limited. The presence of the region $\epsilon$ and the limited stresses are due to the fact that the calculations took into account the $N$ members of the series that describe the wave field, and starting from the $N+1$ member of the series moved to asymptotic values of unknown coefficients, the number of which was also limited to $2N$. As the value $N$ increased, the accuracy of the boundary conditions increased, the region $\epsilon$ decreased, and the magnitude of the stresses near the singular point increased.
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF WAVE DIFFRACTION BY THE SYSTEM OF STRIPES WITH DIFFERENT VALUES OF SURFACE IMPEDANCE
Authors: Dushkin V. D. , Melnik V. N.
Published: September 2021

A mathematical model of diffraction of E-polarized and H-polarized waves on a finite system of not perfectly conducting tapes is obtained. The value of the surface impedance on the two sides of the stripes is different. The initial boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation with boundary conditions of the third kind was reduced to a system of boundary integral equations. This system of boundary integral equations consists of singular integral equations of the first kind and integral equations of the second kind with a logarithmic singularity. The method of parametric representation of integral operator was used to perform transformations. The values of the physical characteristics of the process are expressed through the solutions of the obtained systems of integral equations. Numerical solution of these equations is performed using a computational scheme based on the discrete singularities method.
MODELING OF FINITE INHOMOGENEITIES BY DISCRET SINGULARITIES
Authors: Zrazhevsky G. M. , Zrazhevska V. F.
Published: September 2021

This work focuses on development of a mathematical apparatus that allows to perform an approximate description of inhomogeneities of finite sizes in a continuous bodies by arranging the sources given on sets of smaller dimensions. The structure and properties of source densities determine the adequacy of the model. The theory of differential forms and generalized functions underlies this study. The boundary value problems with nonsmooth coefficients are formulated. The solutions of such problems is sought in the form of weakly convergent series and as an alternative - an equivalent recurrent set of boundary value problems with jumps. A feature of this approach is the ability to consistently improve the adequacy of the description of inhomogeneity. This is important because it allows to qualitatively assess the impact of real characteristic properties on the accuracy of the model description. Reducing the dimensions of inhomogeneities allows the use of efficient methods such as the Green's function and boundary integral equations to obtain a semi-analytic solution for direct and inverse problems. The work is based on a number of partial problems that demonstrate the proposed approach in modeling of inhomogeneities. The problems of modeling of the set of finite defects in an oscillating elastic beam, the set of inhomogeneities of an arbitrary shape in an oscillating plate, fragile cracks in a two-dimensional elastic body under static loading are considered.

The orientation and characteristics of the inheritance agreement in China and Russia: comparative legal research
Authors: Li Fan
Published: September 2021

Recently, great changes have taken place in the inheritance agreement system in China and Russia. Article 1140.1 of CCRF has recognized inheritance agreement in 2019 instead of prohibiting it previously. In China, bequest support agreement is stipulated in legislation, and inheritance attendance agreement is recognized in judicature. Article 464 of the Contract Book of CCPRC of 2020 opens up the legal application of inheritance agreement.China’s inheritance system has its unique characteristics, for example, there is no difference between estate and legacy, the distinction between testamentary succession and bequest is based on whether the subject has the status of legal successor rather than the disposition of estate or legacy, there is no difference between successio in universumius and successio in singulas res, the heritage debt is the legal burden of positive heritage, heritage debt shall not be disposed of in a will, the bequest shall not be exempted from the heritage debt, there are only legal successors but no heir other than legal successors and testamentary successors are only legal successors who inherit by will, there is no forced share but an absolute necessary share for any successor who has neither the ability to work nor the source of income, and neither inheritance agreement nor gift contract is formal. All of those determine that its inheritance agreement must have many characteristics different from those of Europe.For example, there is a strict distinction between the bequest support agreement with non legal successor as supporter and the inheritance attendance agreement with legal successor as supporter; there is no inheritance renunciation agreement with valuable consideration positively, but the one with negative consideration that a renunciation of the inheritance right is in exchange for exemption of the specifi c performance of attendance; it is suffi cient that the donatio mortis causa has the effect of gift contract, and it is not necessary to act as the inheritance agreement.China’s orientation of the inheritance agreement is mainly with consideration and centered on support for the old, while Russia’s orientation is mainly without consideration and centered on the disposition of inheritance right in the designated inheritance agreement. In particular, China and Russia have launched a challenge to the doctrine that the effect of inheritance agreement is prior to that of will.

The achievements of the Russian prosecutor’s offi ce in protecting human and civil rights and freedoms, which are the responsibility of the state, including on issues of observance of the labor rights of citizens, the right of citizens to protect life and health, are consecrated.The state program of action in the fi eld of human rights adopted by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China has also been studied in detail. Achievements in the social sphere are shown, which are provided not only by the state, but also by the prosecutor’s offi ce. The approaches of legal science in the two states are consecrated not only in the regulation of human and civil rights and freedoms, but also in their provision.Based on the material studied, the author concluded that it is possible to use the positive experience of Russia and China, mutually in both states, in order to ensure the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in each of them.
The mechanism of formation of law enforcement discretion
Authors: Nikitin A. A.
Published: September 2021

The article examines the stages of the formation of the discretion of the law enforcement offi cer, which fi nds expression in the adopted law enforcement act. It is concluded that the mechanism for the formation of law enforcement discretion functions in parallel with the mechanism of the application of law. At each stage of the law enforcement process, the authorized entity implements one or more discretions on issues that constitute the essence of this stage. Such discretionary elements often do not have external expression and do not have an independent meaning. They, with varying degrees of intensity, infl uence the adoption of the main decision in a legal case. The study of the structure of the mechanism for the formation of law enforcement discretion allows us to demonstrate the objective nature of the existence of this type of discretion and its independence from the presence of discretionary elements in the applicable rule.

In the past 10 years, China’s legislation on terrorist crimes has undergone great changes, which not only responds to the inherent requirements stipulated in the international conventions, but also refl ects the policy governing terrorist crimes. The legislation of terrorist crime presents new dimensions, specifi cally for the preventive strengthening, the increase of severity, the increase of rigour. Under the background of risk society, the legislation of terrorism crime has positive social signifi cance, which is embodied in the combination of punishment after the event and prevention before the event, the unity of behavior harm and personal danger. In the future criminal legislation, it is necessary to enhance the foresight of legislation, promote the scientifi c nature of legislation, and strengthen the effective connection between criminal law and anti-terrorism security law, which should be the development direction of terrorism crime legislation

AIM: To evaluate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest to detect malignant pulmonary nodules compared to compute tomography (CT).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched the following databases with the final date of search on April 7th, 2021: PubMed, Google Scholar. We selected studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria that assessed the detection of malignant lung nodules by MRI and CT and included information about sensitivity and specificity. Method of the analysis and data grouping was chosen with regard to statistical heterogeneity of the studies included in the analysis. We used the 2 test and I2 statistic to evaluate the heterogeneity.
RESULTS: We selected 168 articles for the systematic review from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. We included 21 studies on 1,188 patients in the meta-analysis and revealed statistically significant heterogeneity (р0,00001 for 2 test; I2=99%) for sensitivity and specificity. Hence, we used a random-effect model for further analysis. As a result, values of sensitivity for detection of pulmonary nodules with MRI of 70.4%100%, specificity ― from 60.6% to 100%.
CONCLUSIONS: Thus, MRI has sufficient sensitivity and specificity for detecting malignant pulmonary nodules primarily discovered with CT.
