Do olhar da espiral caleidoscópica do cuidado
Authors: Slomp Junior Helvo , Gomes Maria Paula Cerqueira , Franco Túlio Batista , Merhy Emerson Elias
Published: December 2023

Resumo O campo da saúde tem como referente central e “alma” a produção do cuidado, um conceito polissêmico e polifônico, com um uso ubíquo, envolvido em disputas de sentidos. Propõe-se uma distinção entre cuidado e clínica, esta tida como uma construção sociotécnica que pode ou não ser subsumida pelo cuidado. Toma-se os conceitos de perspectivismo e de regimes de verdade como referenciais teóricos para as análises sobre o que pode ser enunciado como o cuidado em certo tempo e lugar: uma produção de mundos e de sentidos. Engendra-se uma espiral caleidoscópica intercessora para analisar tais sentidos, chegando a três grupos de perspectivas: o cuidado em saúde como um equivalente geral de práticas em saúde e intervenções clínicas, o cuidado em saúde como uma clínica integral e emancipatória, e o cuidado em saúde como uma micropolítica no encontro intercessor. São múltiplos mundos que carregam suas próprias verdades e as disputam entre si, por vezes misturando-se em composições de sentidos. Um marcador ético-estético-político que propomos para o uso do conceito cuidado em saúde seria a produção de mais vida nas vidas vividas.

Abstract In vitro excystation of cysts of microscopically identified Chilomastix mesnili and Retortamonas sp. isolated from Japanese macaques and Retortamonas sp. isolated from small Indian mongooses could be induced using an established protocol for Giardia intestinalis and subsequently by culturing with H2S-rich Robinson’s medium supplemented with Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. Excystation usually began 2 h after incubation in Robinson’s medium. DNA was isolated from excysted flagellates after 4 h of incubation or from cultured excysted flagellates. Phylogenetic analysis based on their 18S rRNA genes revealed that two isolates of C. mesnili from Japanese macaques belonged to the same cluster as a C. mesnili isolate from humans, whereas a mammalian Retortamonas sp. isolate from a small Indian mongoose belonged to the same cluster as that of an amphibian Retortamonas spp. isolate from a ‘poison arrow frog’ [sequence identity to AF439347 (94.9%)]. These results suggest that the sequence homology of the 18S rRNA gene of the two C. mesnili isolates from Japanese macaques was similar to that of humans, in addition to the morphological similarity, and Retortamonas sp. infection of the amphibian type in the small Indian mongoose highlighted the possibility of the effect of host feeding habitats.
Component communities and annual and seasonal variations of metazoan parasites in Eleotris pisonis (Gmelin, 1789) (Gobiiformes: Eleotridae) in the Amazon River, Brazil
Authors: Lima Elvis Silva , Tavares-Dias Marcos
Published: December 2023

Abstract Our hypothesis for this study was that annual and seasonal variations do not influence the structure of the component communities and the diversity of metazoan parasites of spinycheek sleeper (Eleotris pisonis) in the Amazon River, state of Amapá, Brazil. A total of 164 fish were collected between 2020 and 2021, from which 888 parasites were found. In 2020, five species of parasites were found (one Nematoda, one Digenea, one Acanthocephala, one Arachnida and one Crustacea); and in 2021, five species were also found (three Nematoda, one Digenea and one Crustacea). Larvae of Contracaecum sp. were the dominant taxon throughout the study. The parasite species richness and Brillouin diversity index were higher in 2021, without significant differences between seasonal periods. Some component communities of parasites showed differences between years and between seasonal periods. These facts do not support the hypothesis that such variables would not influence the component communities of the parasites. Lastly, this report provides the first records of Spirocamallanus inopinatus, Genarchella genarchella, Acari, Ergasilus sp., Neoechinorhynchus sp., larvae of Pseudoproleptus sp. and larvae of Contracaecum sp. in E. pisonis.

Published: December 2023

Abstract The aim of this study was to identify Cryptosporidium species found in cattle and sheep in Paraná, southern region of Brazil. Individual fecal samples from 458 bovines and 101 sheep were submitted for molecular analysis by PCR and nested PCR using specific primers for sequences of the 18S ribosomal unit (rRNA). Positive samples were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), followed by genetic sequencing for species confirmation. The occurrence of Cryptosporidium was 11.27% (63/559). The highest occurrence was detected in lambs (12/59, 20.33%). From the 63 positive samples, it was possible to identify the species in 58 of them by RFLP and genetic sequencing. Five species of Cryptosporidium were identified: Cryptosporidium andersoni, Cryptosporidium bovis, Cryptosporidium ryanae, Cryptosporidium xiaoi, and Cryptosporidium parvum. The most prevalent species was C. andersoni (41.38%) and the least predominant was C. parvum (10.34%). The most abundant species of Cryptosporidium in dairy calves were C. andersoni (11/25) and C. ryanae (6/25). Of the 17 positive sheep, nine (52.94%) were infected with C. andersoni. This finding is the first report on the occurrence of C. andersoni in naturally infected sheep in Brazil and the first observation of a high absolute occurrence of this Cryptosporidium species in sheep.
Advocating for free-to-read and free-to-publish science journals amid a need to change a broken evaluation system
Authors: Frainer André
Published: December 2023

Abstract Publishing is an important step for the work of any scientist. Unfortunately, academia has been using publication metrics, particularly the journal impact factor, as one of the main criteria for assessing researchers CVs when hiring and promoting researchers and evaluating grant proposals, among others. This goes against the advice of several researchers and institutions who notice a harmful effect of focusing on such publication-based metrics for the development of science itself. In addition, most journals with high impact factor have been moving to a highly commercialized form of open access publication, where readers do not pay to access those papers, but the authors do. Journals ranked high in those publication-based metrics also charge very high publications fees. Thus, those journals have become too expensive for most scientists, creating a too-large financial gap between those who can afford publishing in high-ranked journals and those who cannot. Science ranking based on publication metrics is thus no longer a question of science quality, impact, or relevance, but of the researchers’ financial conditions to publish their science. Luckly, there are thousands of journals that offer the so-called diamond (or platinum) alternative that do not charge any fees from readers and writers alike. Here, I advocate that scientists should focus on those non-commercialized forms of science publication while working to change the criteria for evaluating science production currently at place in academia.

Published: December 2023

El consumo de alcohol y las conductas antisociales-delictivas constituyen un problema relevante a nivel social y de salud pública. El objetivo de la investigación que dio origen al presente artículo científico fue conocer la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y la conducta antisocial-delictiva en adolescentes. Se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, no experimental, descriptivo-correlacional, de corte transversal. Participaron 271 adolescentes (50.6 % masculino y 49.4 % femenino), entre 12 a 19 años, mediante un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia con criterios de inclusión. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Cuestionario para identificación de trastornos debidos al consumo de alcohol (AUDIT) y el Cuestionario de conductas antisociales-delictivas (A-D). El análisis mostró un consumo bajo de alcohol o abstinencia (95.2 %) y baja presencia de conductas antisociales (89.3 %) y delictivas (88.93 %). No se presentaron diferencias por sexo en las variables de estudios (p > .05). Se confirmó una relación baja positiva entre el consumo de alcohol y la conducta antisocial (r = .206; p < .05), al igual que el consumo de alcohol y la conducta delictiva (r = .199; p < .05), es decir, a medida que aumenta o disminuye el consumo de alcohol, también lo hace la conducta antisocial-delictiva.

Background: Sternalis muscle is an additional muscle of anterior chest wall present in the superficial plane occasionally. It can be unilateral or bilateral. It is attached below to ribs or costal cartilages and above to the upper part of sternum. Its fibres may fuse with pectoralis major, sternocleidomastoid muscle or external oblique aponeurosis. Purpose of study: To study the profile of sternalis muscle in cadavers. Material and methods: During a time period of ten years, 50 adult cadavers were dissected in the dissection hall of Anatomy department of Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha. During the dissection of anterior chest wall a bilateral strap like muscle was found in one male cadaver. Morphometry of this muscle was done. The nature of muscle fibres, length, distance from the midline and angle with the midline was measured. Results: Bilateral sternalis muscle was found in one male cadaver. It was extending from the fifth rib 3 cm lateral to the lateral border of sternum to the sternal angle on both the sides. Lower part of the muscle was fleshy while its upper part was tendinous. On the right side, its tendon was bifurcating into medial and lateral lamina in the upper part of the muscle. The fleshy part of the muscle was 8 cm, medial lamina 4.5 cm and lateral lamina was 3 cm in length. On the left side, muscle was 13 cm in length with a single tendon. Conclusion: The early detection is essential in regular mammogram screening to differentiate it from the malignant lesions. This muscle is a matter of interest for anatomists, radiologists and surgeons for doing surgeries on anterior chest wall.

Using control sibling oocytes, the prospective study on the treatment of male infertility factors was conducted in a private IVF center located in Cairo, Egypt. Each case of male factor infertility was treated with both calcimycin and ionomycin, and then the rate of fertilization, cleavage, and quality of embryo were statistically compared. The total number of included cases in the study was n=112. Pregnancy and postpartum follow-up were not investigated. Calcimycin and ionomycin showed nonsignificant T-value in rates of fertilization, cleavage, and good-quality embryos than non-treated embryos. Group I (n=59) treated versus control show fertilization rate of 76.6%, 48.9%, cleavage rate of 95.4%, 85.3%, the good quality embryos 47.1%, 18.5%, respectively. Group II (n=53) treated versus control show fertilization rate of 81.1 %, 50.8%, cleavage rate of 92.5%, 81.4%, the good quality embryos 42%, 29.9%, respectively. The utilization of assisted oocyte activation, ionomycin, and calcimycin has been proposed to possibly increase the number of zygotes, improve cleavage, and create high-quality embryos, boosting the probability of embryo transfer trials.

Background: The thin endometrial lining has been reported to be associated with significant complications in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Studies have been conducted to find ways to improve this condition, and one of the possibilities is through micronutrient intake. Vitamin E and Nigella sativa (NS) are the two potential sources of micronutrients that could play essential roles in improving endometrial thickness. Purpose: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of vitamin E and NS supplementation on endometrial thickness in normal (not induced to any disease) mice. Methods: Twenty-four balb/c mice were divided into four groups with six mice each; Group A as negative control (no treatment), Group B given with vitamin E (400 mg/kg), Group C given with NS (200 mg/kg) and Group D given with both vitamin E (400 mg/kg) and NS (200 mg/kg). The uterus histological sections from each group were evaluated for endometrial thickness and other structures of the uterus components were also observed. Results: Co-supplementation of vitamin E and NS have a significantly higher endometrial thickness (131.84 + 14.48μm) compared to the control group (88.08 + 11.49μm) and other uterus structures were not disrupted. Conclusion: The co-supplementation of vitamin E and NS could enhance the endometrial thickness without inducing any disruption to the other structures of the uterus.

Background: In response to the lack of osteometry research in Colombia, this paper applies a pioneering methodology to the osteometry of the upper limbs and carries out a comparative evaluation of the results obtained with those from several studies conducted worldwide. Morphometric characterization is crucial to inform clinical interventions in areas ranging from orthopedic surgery to forensic anthropological research. Methods: Fifteen samples of dry scapula, clavicle, humerus, radius and ulna were measured. Original parameters were used for this morphometry. Values of p≤0.05 were considered significant. Results: Morphometry of the upper limb bones in the Colombian population is described. The mean weight of dry bones were: scapula 53.322 ± 16.717 grams; clavicle 21.545 ± 4.127 grams; humerus 104.913 ± 36.617 grams; radius 42.187 ± 9.785 grams; and ulna 46.159 ± 11.639 grams. Radius length was statistically significant: p=0.0259. Conclusions: This is the first published paper reporting the osteometry and comparative analysis of the upper limb bones in Colombia. The morphometric data presented in this study contribute to the field of Colombian osteometrics and provide a reference for future interdisciplinary research.

Abstract: within a general characteristic of functioning of state mechanism the analysis of the changes of the Constitution of the Russian Federation concerning questions of formation of the Government of the Russian Federation, its responsibility and powers is carried out. The comparative analysis of the changes made to the text of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in comparison with earlier established constitutional norms is carried out. Problematic issues are shown and reasonable ways their solutions are proposed. The reasoned conclusion that the constitutional reform which is carried out in 2020 was insufficient regarding increase in a role of parliament in the course of formation of the government and its responsibility is drawn. It is offered to make the subsequent changes in part of an embodiment of the constitutional establishments concerning activity of the government which are characteristic for mixed (semipresidential, semi-parliamentary) of the republics. All these changes have to counterbalance balance of forces between the head of state and parliament regarding formation of the government, in common responsible before them, by them.
UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENCE OF JUDICIAL ACTIVITY IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THEORIES OF LEGAL FORMALISM AND REALISM
Authors:   Ural State Law University, Selkova A. A.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the author examines two key judicial activity theories - legal realism and legal formalism. The author draws attention to the fact that the main differences between these theories are based on assessing the degree of importance of legal norms in decision’s making. It is noted that in the framework of the tradition of formalism, judicial activity is considered as a strictly regulated system of law enforcement. The author also describes more radical versions of formalism, in which the judge is seen as the operator of a gigantic syllogism machine. Contrasting these views with the provisions of the legal realism theory, the author notes that they come to the fact that legal norms do not determine the outcome of dealing with cases. The author emphasizes that apprehension of legal realism was biased in almost everywhere except the United States. In particular, the continental legal tradition considers legal realism as a practice-oriented direction of legal thought, which is the opposite of more scientifically formulated theories. The author contemplates that legal realism did not deny the importance of regulatory requirements for the purpose of decisions making. However, most of these norms are “informal” regulators. Also, the author concludes that in the continental legal tradition, realism by its nature was not an anti-scientific theory. In fact, this theory appeared as the first truly scientific theory of judgment, or at least its prototype.

Authors:   Ural State Law University, Gongalo B. M.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article examines the signs of limitation of actions, and indicates how they are reflected in the law. The concept of limitation of actions can be given only on the basis that we are talking about the protection of the violated right. The protection of the right is understood as the satisfaction of the claims of the plaintiff, which he presents to the debtor. Protection of the right is carried out by means of compulsory measures against the debtor by a court decision. With the expiration of the limitation period, the possibility of compulsory protection of the violated right is lost. The introduction into the Civil Code of the rule that the limitation period for obligations, the term of performance of which is not determined or determined by the moment of demand, cannot exceed ten years from the date of occurrence of the obligation, contradicts the essence of the limitation of actions. The phrase “right to claim” in substantive law and procedural law denotes different concepts. There was no reason to introduce into the law instructions on the inapplicability of the statute of limitations to the requirements for the issuance of deposits. The statute of limitations is imperative, but there are elements of discretion.

Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article analyzes the main stages of formation and modification of the civil construction of a security paper under Russian law. The features and directions of development of the legal form and general legal content of security papers in the aspect of their compliance with the definition and conceptual understanding as financial instruments are revealed. The main theoretical categories are considered in their unity: legal structure, legal regime, legal nature. New approaches to the definition of basic legal definitions and corresponding legal concepts that contribute to strengthening the construction of both a security paper and a financial instrument in the context of civil legislation modernization are proposed.

Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article is devoted to the fundamental problems of the theory of knowledge in the empirical "focus" of law. The authors study the system of forms of human mental activity as a necessary function associated with its natural right to search, receive and institutionalize knowledge (information). The article substantiates the need to consider mental activity in the unity of objective, subjective and correlative aspects. Conclusions: based on the conducted research, the authors believe that: a) thinking as a natural function of a person is his main need and priority social and legal interest. A person exists only in his striving for the truth; b) the mental activity of a person is conditioned by his spiritual and mental nature, which – in turn-is connected by biosocial matter; c) the correction of knowledge is determined by the search for criteria for its truth and is checked not only by existing practice, but also by the previous experience of mankind; d) the objective meaning of all constitutional transformations in the world in the first, second, and third generations is identical, but the subjective factors of the constitutionalization of social relations in modern times have led to an unjustified split of the traditional form of government in the states of the Old World and in Russia.
THE PROBLEM OF DETERMINING THE LEGAL PERSONALITY OF ROBOTS
Authors:   Kazan Innovative University named after V. G. Timiryasov (IEML), Begishev I. R.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article examines the problem of determining the legal personality of robots, which is important for legal science, and considers its prospects. Some researchers believe that the granting of legal personality to robots is impossible for the reason that their behavior is not completely independent, and the expression of will is questionable. Other authors suggest that, on the contrary, assigning the robot the status of a subject will make it possible to make legal relations with the robot more transparent, since they will allow it to be assigned a certain responsibility for its own actions. It is established that in the current conditions it is impossible to give the robot legal personality, since end-to-end digital technologies have not yet reached the necessary level of development. And a robot cannot act as a fully autonomous subject. However, over time and in the process of improving breakthrough technologies, the situation may change, and giving the robot legal personality will become a necessity. This will allow lawyers to clearly and systematically assess law enforcement practices involving robots, so that at the right time, taking into account the level of development and application of robotics, they can decide to initiate the issue of assigning the robot the status of a legal entity.

Authors:   Belgorod state national research University, Kulishenko E. A.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: this article examines the transformation of the functioning of the institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights, which is expressed in the emergence of new models / specializations of the institution of the Ombudsman. It is noted that the trend of specialization of the functions of the Ombudsman is, among other things, to use its capabilities in the protection of human rights in certain areas of life. It is concluded that relations with specialized ombudsmen should be built on the principles of mutual respect and mutual information about their activities in order to achieve a common goal for all ombudsmen-the protection of violated human and civil rights and freedoms. Proposed changes related to: the consolidation at the constitutional level of the personnel and organizational and personnel powers of the head of state within the institution of specialized commissioners; the adoption of the Federal Law "On the basis of the activities of Specialized Commissioners in the Russian Federation" in order to unify the principles, functions, forms, methods (methods) and guarantees of the activities of specialized commissioners.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Explorar la relación entre las variables de inversión relacionadas con la innovación y las ventas generadas a través del comercio electrónico en las empresas del sector industrial. Se buscó determinar si estas inversiones en innovación tienen un impacto directo en el rendimiento de las ventas de las empresas industriales en el ámbito del comercio electrónico. Método: Se tomó una muestra inicial de 1.988 organizaciones del sector industrial partiendo de la información proporcionada por las Encuestas de Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica (EDIT-2018) y el Módulo TIC-2018 de la Encuesta Anual Manufacturera proporcionada por el Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE). Se analizó la inversión en Investigación y Desarrollo (I+D), la tecnología de la información, la mercadotecnia y la transferencia tecnológica y su relación con las ventas desarrolladas por medio del comercio electrónico en estas compañías. Resultados: No se puede establecer una relación lineal significativa entre las inversiones en innovación y el volumen de ventas realizadas a través del comercio electrónico en el sector industrial colombiano. Este hallazgo indica que las inversiones en innovación en áreas como la investigación y desarrollo y la tecnología de la información no tienen un impacto directo e inmediato en el aumento de las ventas en línea, lo que genera una discusión acerca de los elementos adicionales que pueden afectar la eficacia de las inversiones en innovación y la evolución del comercio electrónico en la industria colombiana, esto a su vez podría generar nuevas perspectivas y estrategias comerciales para comprender mejor esta conexión compleja. Conclusiones: A pesar de los esfuerzos significativos en innovación realizados en el sector manufacturero colombiano, las empresas deben reconsiderar las estrategias implementadas para lograr resultados comerciales más favorables. En investigaciones futuras, se deberían analizar factores culturales, el grado de madurez del mercado y las condiciones regulatorias que puedan estar influyendo en la relación entre la innovación y el comercio electrónico.
Airline customer equity and brand dynamics: Analyzing the moderating effect of switching costs
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Sun-Min , Lee Donghwa , Seo Won-Seok
Published: December 2023

Based on the social exchange theory, this study proposes a conceptual model to understand the relationship between airline customer equity, brand satisfaction, emotional customer-brand relationship, and brand loyalty. The goals of this study are threefold: 1) to examine the direct effect of customer equity on brand satisfaction, emotional customer-brand relationship, and brand loyalty; 2) to identify the indirect effect of brand satisfaction and emotional customer-brand relationship on the relationship between customer equity and brand loyalty; and 3) to verify the moderating effect of switching costs in financial, procedural, and relational terms. To validate this study, a survey was conducted among users of full-service airlines using an online survey company. Twenty-eight questionnaires with missing values or insincere responses were excluded, leaving 392 out of 420 for analysis. The study found that an airline's customer equity has a direct effect on brand satisfaction and emotional customer-brand relationship, and an indirect effect on brand loyalty. Moreover, financial and relational switching costs were found to have a moderating effect. The study confirms that brand satisfaction and emotional customer-brand relationship mediate the relationship between customer equity and brand loyalty in airlines. Additionally, it was confirmed that financial and relational switching costs act as barriers to switching.

Relevance The problem of navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in monitoring forest ecosystems is considered. The relevance of this study lies in the development of navigation algorithms and the formation of safe trajectories for autonomous flight of UAVs in the face of numerous interference and obstacles. Aim of research Analysis of modern means of forest ecosystem monitoring. The objectives of the research project are: 1. When solving the navigation problem, it is proposed to use «machine vision» technologies. These technologies make it possible to find and localize dangerous scene objects on the current image in order to generate signals for controlling the movement of the UAV along safe trajectories. 2. Development of an algorithm for segmenting the image of the environment based on a statistical analysis of the histograms of the brightness of image areas. This algorithm makes it possible to perform airspace zoning according to the hazard level using the introduced set of textural features. 3. Evaluation of the efficiency of the forest image segmentation algorithm based on the calculation of statistical texture characteristics. An algorithm for forming the trajectory of low-flying UAVs to avoid danger is presented. Research method Determination of texture features based on statistical analysis of histograms of brightness of image areas. Results The algorithm for forming the trajectory of low-flying UAVs in conditions of numerous interference and obstacles makes it possible to evaluate potentially dangerous sections of the flight trajectory in order to develop recommendations for adjusting coordinates and movement parameters that ensure the required level of safety, including automatic maneuvering to avoid danger. During this research project, a navigation algorithm was developed, as a result of which the modeling results presented in the work confirm the high efficiency of the proposed algorithm for segmenting images of forest areas obtained from cameras or laser-location methods in order to form the trajectory of low-flying UAVs in tasks of monitoring forest ecosystems.
