Introducción. El trasplante hepático es el tratamiento de elección para pacientes con enfermedades hepáticas en estadio terminal de cualquier etiología. El éxito de la intervención depende de la adecuada selección del donante y del receptor. Los determinantes biopsicosociales influyen en la tasa de complicaciones y mortalidad postrasplante. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las intervenciones y los desenlaces clínicos en pacientes con indicación de trasplante hepático que fueron excluidos de la evaluación pretrasplante por los departamentos de psicología y trabajo social entre enero de 2019 y diciembre de 2021 en un centro de referencia de trasplante hepático en Bogotá. Metodología. Estudio de corte transversal en pacientes mayores de edad con indicación clínica de trasplante hepático que no fueron aptos para evaluación pretrasplante durante la valoración de trabajo social y psicología entre enero de 2019 y diciembre de 2021. Resultados. Se identificaron inicialmente 565 candidatos para evaluación pretrasplante de hígado. De estos, 122 pacientes evaluados por los departamentos de psicología y trabajo social no fueron considerados aptos para continuar con la evaluación, y se incluyeron en el estudio. De este grupo, el 58,2 % (n=71) eran hombres, el 77 % (n=94) estaban afiliados al régimen contributivo, y el 38,5 % (n=47) tenían educación primaria como nivel máximo alcanzado. Además, el 34,4 % (n=42) se encontraban desempleados, con una mediana de ingresos mensuales de $1.000.000 COP (RIC $800.000-$1.950.000). Un total de 32,5 % (n=37) de estos pacientes lograron ser incluidos en el estudio pretrasplante después de recibir alguna intervención. Se observaron diferencias significativas en la activación de la red familiar extensa entre el grupo de pacientes incluidos y no incluidos en el estudio pretrasplante (48,6 % vs 0,0 %). Conclusión. Las intervenciones realizadas por el grupo de soporte multidisciplinario de trasplante permiten aumentar el acceso a la evaluación pretrasplante, el ingreso a la lista de espera y el trasplante de pacientes inicialmente no aptos por diferentes causales modificables con estas herramientas.
Foreign terrorist fighters as a potential security problem of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Đorić Marija , Obrenović Strahinja
Published: September 2024

The paper analyzes the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters, who can represent a potential security problem for the Republic of Serbia. It is believed that in the period from 2012 to 2016, more than 1,200 people from the Western Balkan region (including Serbia, as well). The fact that 49 Serbian adult citizens went to Syria (37 men and 12 women) is very important. Authors first made a distinction between the terms foreign fighters and foreign terrorist fighters, so that in the continuation of the work the focus would be on the classification of this phenomenon. Although foreign fighters appeared much earlier, the focus of this research is on the war in Syria, which involved a large number of international actors, including terrorist organizations, such as the "Islamic State". The central part of the work is dedicated to the institutional and strategic framework of the Republic of Serbia, which deals with the prevention and fight against violent extremism and terrorism. In addition, the authors analyzed all potential phases (and at the same time the problem) of the return of foreign terrorist fighters, as well as their families in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, giving predictive analyses. The return of foreign terrorist fighters from Syria and Iraq to the territory of the Republic of Serbia can represent a kind of security problem. This phenomenon has been unknown until now, especially when it comes to group face restoration. In addition, this is not only about one category (eg terrorists), but we will also meet with women and children. Up until now, in the region, women have mostly been viewed as victims, but it should be borne in mind that individual members of the female gender can also be radicalized, which can have a negative impact on children as well, through the process of education. Due to all these facts, a multidisciplinary approach to this problem is necessary, which will involve experts from different fields.

Terahertz technology: A new frontier in Alzheimer’s disease therapy
Authors: Zhang Jun , Liu Cong , Lü Junhong , Xu Ruixue , Le Weidong
Published: September 2024

The vibrational and rotational energy levels of many biomacromolecules fall within the Terahertz (THz) frequency range, indicating that THz waves, under specific conditions, can interact with and affect the structure and functionality of various biological systems, including the brain. Increasing evidence suggests that the overproduction or inadequate elimination of amyloid beta (Aβ), leading to the accumulation of senile plaques (SPs) in the brain, is a key factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The AD-affected brain exhibits several pathological hallmarks, such as hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, which leads to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), neuroinflammation, and degeneration of neurites and synapses. All of these may play important roles in the onset and progression of the disease. Current research primarily focuses on utilizing THz technology for biomonitoring and imaging, with less exploration into the biological effects of THz irradiation on AD. This review aims to examine the neurobiological effects of THz irradiation on AD pathology, including its impacts on neurons, mitochondria, blood vessels, and inflammation, and to provide an update on the current status of THz technology research in AD. It is designed to provide a new perspective for researchers in neuroscience, THz technology, and biomedicine.

Double Negation as a Verum Focus Effect in a Negative Concord Language
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Faculty of Letters, Romania, Cristescu Mihaela , Ionescu Emil ,   University of Bucharest, Faculty of Letters, Romania
Published: September 2024

The paper proposes an answer to the question of how a language of (strict) negative concord may evince double negation reading in negative clauses with N-words. The question is justified, because according to Giannakidou (2006), languages of strict negative concord cannot express double negation.
Romanian is a language of strict negative concord and no consensus exists among researchers, as far as the double negation reading of negative clauses with N-words is concerned. For this reason, we designed and conducted an experiment which shows that double negation is an interpretive option in negative clauses with N-words, even if it is not recognised by all the native speakers.
Our experiment also reveals that speakers’ interpretive options with respect to this topic are very diverse. In order to account for them, we propose a theory that explains the duality negative concord/double negation. The theory consists of a number of rules which pairs the prosody of the N-words with their meaning and use. The theory relies on two theses: (i) N-words in Romanian are universal quantifiers sensitive to negation and scoping above it; (ii) emphatic accent on N-words in Romanian marks either the wide scope of the N-words with respect to negation, or the speaker’s verum attitude (Höhle 1992) towards the interlocutor’s utterances. In the literature, the verum attitude is called Verum Focus. When emphasis expresses verum focus, it means agreement or disagreement of the speaker with the truth of the utterance held by the interlocutor.
Disagreement amounts to rejecting the truth commitment. If the interlocutor’s utterance is negative and contains N-words, rejecting the truth commitment is asserting its opposite. This yields the double negation effect.
In the final section we compare our approach to other solutions already proposed in the literature, and prospect the chances of extending it to other negative concord languages.

Seed germination was most essential stage of a plant life cycle and is strongly influenced by temperature conditions. The purpose of this study is that we have tried to know the stage of seed germination of papaya (Carica papaya L.) under the BOD incubator condition. Temperature three levels (20, 25, 30°C) were used. The objective of this study is to see how germination is accelerated at different temperatures by treating seeds with growth regulators, chemicals, and organic supplements. Since the seed coat contains sarcotesta, which inhibits germination, seed treatment is necessary. For papaya seed soak coconut water @ 50%, tomato juice @ 20%, cow urine @ 10%, GA3 @ 200 ppm, NAA @ 200 ppm, KNO3 @ 0.5% and normal water (control) twenty four hours. Use moist filter paper in petri dishes for this investigation, were 20 seeds placed in each petri plate, after that data observation was taken by placing the petri plate on BOD incubator. In case T2 (92.66%) recorded the highest number of seed germination at temperature range 300C followed by T1 (coconut), T3 followed by while seedling length, root length and shoot length were maximum at T1 (water coconut @ 50%) recorded 6.5, 3.35 and 9.423 and lowest at T6 was found in variety “Ranchi” under incubator control condition.
Comparative and International Legal Approaches in the Activities of the Venice Commission: Review of the 134th and 135th Plenary Sessions of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (March 10—11, 2023, June 9—10, 2023)
Authors: Morozov Andrey
Published: September 2024

The practice of studying the opinions of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) is of significant interest to specialists in the field of international law, comparative law, and constitutional law of foreign countries. On March 10—11, 2023, the 134th plenary session of the Venice Commission was held; on June 9—10, 2023, the 135th plenary session of the Venice Commission was held. During these plenary sessions, opinions on the legislation of various states were considered and adopted, including France, Germany, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, the Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Experts from the Venice Commission made proposals and recommendations regarding the legislation of foreign countries.
The Goals of the Class Action through the Prism of the Defendant
Authors: Domshenko Viktor
Published: September 2024

A class action serves several key purposes, in particular, ensuring effective protection of violated rights and legitimate interests of a large group of persons, achieving procedural economy, and preventing new offenses. Consideration of these goals is often carried out from the perspective of the plaintiffs (the first goal), the judicial system (the second goal) and society as a whole (the third goal). At the same time, the analysis of the value of a class action for the defendant through the prism of these goals, as a rule, is not carried out. The purpose of the article is to consider the key objectives of the class action mechanism from the position of their influence on the interests of the defendant. Based on the use of the method of comparative analysis of the doctrine of individual countries (the USA and the UK), the author identified the positive and negative values of a class action for the defendant in relation to each of the goals. The findings can be used in the development of scientific and law enforcement approaches to the construction of a class action in the Russian legal order. The research uses general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis), as well as private scientific methods (comparative legal, formal legal). The author concludes that victims of the defendant’s violations often refrain from filing claims due to the small amount of damage caused to them, which allows defenders to continue violating the rights and legitimate interests of participants in civil turnover without worrying about their legal liability The downside of such a class action effect is the high risks for the defendant due to the potentially significant amount of his losses, reputational costs and the risks of presenting him with obviously unjustified class actions. Therefore, the defendant’s objections to the consideration of the claim in the order of group proceedings should be the object of a thorough, and not a formal judicial review before the trial on the merits. The author proposes to grant the defendant, subject to a set of conditions, the right to apply for the initiation of group proceedings for the concentration of standard claims against him from potential victims.

Authors: Veliulova Daliya
Published: September 2024

The article discusses some aspects of the development of legal regulation in the field of protection and security of personal data in various national legislations, in particular in Russia, Great Britain, the European Union, the CIS, and the Middle East. The peculiarities of the influence of the main international data protection standards formed during the practice of European states on their subsequent implementation in the normative acts of national legal systems are analyzed. The relevance of the research is due to the modern reality, which is characterized by the progressive development of technologies and digitalization in conjunction with the permanently increasing volume of turnover of data collection, processing and interstate exchange. In this regard, new problems and challenges arise for national legislators, which can be solved by consolidating the accumulated experience of states in a specific area. The objectives of the work are to study the general and special in the mechanisms of personal data protection at national levels, as well as to identify the main trends in legislation and prospects for their development. Research methods: comparative legal, formal legal, interpretation of law and system-structural analysis. Conclusions are drawn about the main trends in the development of the right to personal data protection in legislation, its increasing role in national legal systems, as well as the processes of its universalization and constitutionalization in the last few years are noted. The established modern system of personal data protection is characterized today by a combination and close interweaving of national, supranational and international legal principles.
The Impact of Unilateral Sanctions on Contractual Obligations: Basic Theoretical Approaches
Authors: Voskoboynik Igor
Published: September 2024

The issue of the impact of economic sanctions on contractual relations between the parties is relevant today for several reasons. Firstly, an unprecedented number of foreign sanctions have been imposed on the Russian Federation, its citizens and organizations at the moment, preventing the conduct of commercial activities and requiring the resolution of emerging disputes. Secondly, due to the presence of a public element and low theoretical elaboration of this topic, the application of sanctions legislation in civil law disputes often turns out to be unsystematic and contradictory. The article analyzes two main approaches to the impact of sanctions on treaties and their legal consequences. According to the first approach, sanctions are considered as factual circumstances that objectively affect the performance of contractual obligations, and therefore there is no analysis of the legality of the impact of these norms on the contract. As a result, the assessment of such an impact takes place on the basis of lex fori norms in terms of force majeure, the impossibility of fulfilling an obligation or its termination. The second approach, on the contrary, involves considering sanctions as norms of law and evaluating them in terms of criteria of private international law (for example, as super-mandatory norms and compliance with lex fori public policy), recognizing them as part of the treaty statute. Due to the low theoretical elaboration of this topic in Russian law, these approaches are often mixed, which leads to unpredictable consequences in the regulation of contractual relations between the parties.

Implementation of FHIR SATUSEHAT API in Hospital Information System Applications
Authors: Al Banna Hafiizh Asrofil , Harsanti Putri Wahyuningdiah Trisari
Published: September 2024

Healthcare facilities (fasyankes) provide various healthcare services to the public, such as inpatient care, outpatient care, emergency care, and others, which are largely dominated by hospitals. Healthcare activities are closely associated with patient data, which serves as a reference for patient treatment. In fasyankes term, this is commonly known as medical records; however, according to Indonesian Ministry regulations, appropriate recording is done in the form of electronic medical records. Therefore, a system is needed to handle this recording, and one of these systems is the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS). In recording electronic medical records, various fasyankes across Indonesia differ in how they record and store these records. As a result, the Ministry of Health introduced the SATUSEHAT platform as a standard for medical record keeping. The core idea behind the SATUSEHAT platform is that healthcare facilities are primarily obligated to record medical records within the SATUSEHAT health system platform launched by the Indonesian Ministry of Health. However, a question arises: “Can this SATUSEHAT platform be implemented in hospital applications across Indonesia?” To address this question, the author makes use of the Agile Scrum method to attempt the integration of fasyankes' medical records, mainly those of hospitals, with the SATUSEHAT platform. Furthermore, the use of the SATUSEHAT platform in this research is within its development stage, subject to constant changes, making the Agile Scrum method a suitable approach. The conclusion drawn by the author from this study is that the implementation of the SATUSEHAT platform is possible, even though some features may not be fully usable.

Feasibility Of Bitter Melon Masks For Anti-Aging Facial Skin Care
Authors: Azhari Nadya , Rosalina Linda
Published: September 2024

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using bitter melon (Momordica charantia) mask as an anti-aging facial skin treatment through a quantitative research method with an experimental approach. This research is important because anti-aging skincare aims to prevent premature ageing, which is often caused by factors such as exposure to free radicals and oxidative stress. The feasibility of bitter melon masks was evaluated through a series of tests, including laboratory tests to measure flavonoid, phenolic, and collagen content, as well as organoleptic and hedonic tests to assess physical characteristics and user preferences. Data collection techniques involved observation, documentation, and the use of observation sheets. Laboratory test results showed that the bitter melon mask contained positive flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and collagen, which are known to be beneficial for skin health and ageing prevention. Meanwhile, the organoleptic and hedonic test results showed that the bitter melon mask had a smooth texture, distinctive bitter melon aroma, strong adhesion, and was quite liked by the panellists. Based on these findings, the bitter melon mask is considered suitable for use as an anti-aging facial skincare product.
Criminalisation of Service Users and Traditional Commercial Sex Workers in Indonesia
Authors: Nining  , Ravena Dey , Heniarti Dini Dewi
Published: September 2024

Law enforcement against service users and traditional commercial sex workers in Indonesia in handling the increasingly rampant practice of prostitution. Despite government efforts to reduce involvement in prostitution, the lack of specific regulations in Indonesian law has allowed service users of prostitution to avoid appropriate legal consequences. The purpose of this research is to understand the urgency to criminalize traditional commercial sex workers and service users. The majority of the problem lies in economic factors influenced by someone's income or needs, especially the difficulty for women to meet their needs, especially women who lack skills, thus their competitiveness in the job market is very low, and also related to the legal framework which still lacks regulation. This research uses a normative juridical method by employing legislative approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. Researchers examined secondary legal materials, including local regulations such as the DKI Jakarta Regional Regulation, the Indramayu District Regulation, the Tangerang City Regulation, the Denpasar City Regulation, the Badung Regency in Bali, Batam City, and Bandung Regency, as well as the Dutch regulation on brothels, known as the "Wet Regulering Prostitutie en Bestrijding Misstanden Seksbranche" (Regulation on Prostitution and Combating Abuses in the Sex Industry). The research findings indicate the need to promptly incorporate these regulations into the NATIONAL CRIMINAL CODE to prosecute users of traditional sex services and also the workers themselves, or at least to follow the policy of the Dutch government by legalizing brothels, where brothel owners are required to prove consistent tax payments and not being involved in any crimes, aiming to prevent HIV/AIDS and human trafficking.

Published: September 2024

Background: It has been proven that cytokines have a role in cancer immunity and carcinogenesis in general, which have a major role in causing many types of solid cancer. This study aimed to estimate the levels of IL-5 and IL-4 in the blood of some diagnosed breast cancer patients, and to study the relationship of these interleukins to the development of human breast cancer. Patients and methods: The study included 75 women, divided into two groups, including 50 breast cancer patients and 25 other apparently healthy women. The ELISA method was used to estimate the level of IL-5 and IL- 4 in the blood serum of the two groups studied. Results: The current study showed an increase in the level of interleukin 4 in the blood of breast cancer patients, with significant differences between breast cancer and the control group (p<0.005), and this increase was associated with tumor development. In addition, it was found that high levels of IL-4 in the blood were directly associated with increasing of Ca15.3. On the other hand, a significant decrease in the average level of interleukin 5 in blood serum was observed in affected patients compared to control groups. Conclusions: The study showed an association between high levels of IL- 4 in the blood and breast cancer, and it was found that this increase is related to the advanced stage of the disease. In addition, from our study there is no statistically significant association between a statistically significant decrease in the level of serum IL-5 and the advanced stage of human breast cancer.

Published: September 2024

Currently, modernizing educational reforms are being performed in Vietnam for integration into the global education system, with an emphasis on the physical and mental health of learners. However, outstanding issues in education that affect learners have become a topic of heated debate. In particular, the topic of extra tuition is of great concern to the public. This study utilized a survey with 1,483 teachers teaching Mathematics and Literature at the secondary level; 2,355 9th-grade students and 366 parents of children enrolled in extra tuition in three provinces representing the three regions of North-Central-South Vietnam to capture the current status of extra tuition among secondary school seniors in Vietnam, as well as to explore its impact on current education-related issues. The results showed that 100% of secondary school seniors were enrolled in extra tuition at school and 64.9% of students were enrolled in extra tuition outside of school; 94.8% of teachers participated in extra tuition outside of school, and 100% of teachers in Mathematics and Literature participated in extra tuition at school; 100% of parents enrolled their children in extra tuition, although only 59.8% of them thought that it was necessary to send their children to extra tuition. The results of this research provide an important basis for managers and policymakers to make the right decisions regarding the current issue of extra tuition, and it also opens up new research directions such as evaluating the present quality of teaching in Vietnamese secondary schools, solutions for monitoring extra tuition within and outside of school, or research on the mentality of students and parents when enrolling their children in extra tuition, the physical and mental health of senior students, and other potential stakeholders. This research provides valuable survey and analysis information for the field of modern education.

современная модель образования, сфокусированная на личности и компетенциях обучающегося, предполагает способность образовательной системы к непрерывному обновлению и развитию в соответствии с требованиями рынка труда. Тем не менее, на практике уровень подготовки специалистов не всегда удовлетворяет потребности работодателей. Одним из путей решения этой проблемы является исследование и разработка теорий и практик развития надпрофессиональных компетенций, которые могут служить дополнительным ресурсом для профессионального роста работников. В данной статье описана методология опроса-исследования, направленного на выявление наиболее востребованных и дефицитарных надпрофессиональных компетенций среди обучающихся и выпускников учреждений среднего профессионального образования. Работу составляет разработанный и апробированный опрос (для обучающихся СПО, специалистов по воспитательной работе и педагогов СПО, выпускников и представителей работодателей) с примерами формулировок вопросов и вариантами ответов, которые имеют теоретическое обоснование в научной литературе по теме надпрофессиональных компетенций.

the modern education model, focused on the personality and competencies of the student, assumes the ability of the educational system to continuously update and develop in accordance with the requirements of the labor market. However, in practice, the level of training of specialists does not always meet the needs of employers. One of the ways to solve this problem is to study and develop theories and practices for the development of supra-professional competencies, which can serve as an additional resource for the professional growth of employees. This article describes the methodology of a survey-research aimed at identifying the most popular and deficient supra-professional competencies among students and graduates of secondary vocational education institutions. The work consists of a developed and tested survey (for students of secondary vocational education, specialists in educational work and teachers of secondary vocational education, graduates and representatives of employers) with examples of question wording and answer options that have a theoretical basis in the scientific literature on the topic of supra-professional competencies.

Background: Intellectual property rights and academic freedom are critical in promoting global innovation and intellectual conversation. However, their cohabitation often raises complicated legal and ethical issues. This article examines how intellectual property rules interact with academic freedom under foreign legal systems. Objective: To examine how international legal tools and treaties combine intellectual property rights protection with academic freedom, stressing the consequences for research and innovation. Methods: This article examines significant international treaties, such as the TRIPS Agreement and the Berne Convention, as well as numerous state legislation, using a comparative legal analysis. It also incorporates qualitative data from interviews with legal professionals and academics, offering a multifaceted picture. Results: The results reflect a complicated ecosystem in which intellectual property regulations can clash with academic freedom values. Notably, strict intellectual property restrictions stymie academic research and cooperation, while too lax ones weaken incentives for innovation. Conclusion: The article finds that international legal frameworks must strike a careful balance to guarantee intellectual property rights and academic freedom. It advocates for policies that promote open access to academic resources while protecting intellectual property rights, implying the need for developing flexible legal instruments for the continually changing world of research and innovation.

Que modelo econômico para a China?
Authors: HERRERA Rémy , ANDREANI Tony I
Published: September 2024

Este artigo propõe um exame crítico do livro A Via Chinesa de Michel Aglietta e Guo Bai. Depois de ter apresentado a interpretação do «capitalismo sui generis chinês» dada pelos autores, e a opinião que formámos da sua leitura, voltaremos a alguns dos temas abordados neste livro: a análise dos desequilíbrios da economia chinesa, as questões do abono de factores e de seus preços, as regras dos mercados obrigatório e de acções, as especificidades das empresas públicas, a concepção de serviços públicos, a planificação estratégica, o problema do poder e o «socialismo à chinesa».
Jorge Amado: do romance proletário ao romance histórico. Uma discussão sobre mediações da forma estética e conteúdo sócio-histórico
Authors: Ferreira João Paulo
Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho pretende elaborar uma abordagem crítica acerca dos aspectos estéticos e políticos manifestos na literatura de Jorge Amado, detidamente as três primeiras obras do ciclo do cacau (Cacau, 1933; Terras do sem fim, 1943; São Jorge dos Ilhéus, 1944). Assim, pautaremos a nossa discussão partindo da especificidade de cada narrativa, como transfiguração de um conteúdo sócio-histórico determinado. Pois, a propósito de Cacau ser proletário, de Terras do sem fim ser a "épica" do "drama da conquista feudal" e São Jorge dos Ilhéus ser o "mesquinho" drama "da conquista imperialista" – como alerta o autor em suas notas introdutórias –, cremos que tais considerações perpassam pelo emergente debate de problemas sociais, políticos e econômicos do Brasil da década de 1930, constituindo, por seu turno, impasses da própria apreensão figurativa. Para fundamentar nosso trabalho, valer-nos-emos dos estudos de György Lukács (2009; 2011), Antonio Candido (1992), entre outros.
