Authors: Hamid Hira , Jawad Khurram , Hayat Rizwana , Ghulam Shoaib , Hussain Shahzad
Published: October 2024

This research examines the elaborate association between FI, CO2 emissions, and the moderating role of technological innovation across 83 countries. The study, which includes the years 2003 to 2022, uses data from the WDI to investigate the dynamics and consequences of these interrelated factors. The major goal is to determine the influence of FI on CO2 emissions, taking into consideration the moderating role of technical progress. Through principal component analysis, the study seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms driving these associations by employing various statistical approaches such as correlation analysis and Driscoll-Kraay standard errors. Initial data show a significant link between FI and CO2 emissions, but the degree of the association varies by nation. Furthermore, technological innovation has been shown to have a significant moderating effect, increasing the effect of FI on CO2 emissions. Based on these findings, the research suggests policies that make use of the associations between FI and technological innovation in order to promote sustainable development. Overall, this study advances our consideration of the complex relationship between FI, CO2 emissions, and technological innovation, providing significant insights for policymakers and stakeholders working for environmental sustainability and economic inclusiveness.
La política internacional en el proceso de transición intersistémico
Authors: Salimena Gonzalo
Published: October 2024

El presente libro plantea una actualización del estado del arte y los marcos teóricos respecto de diferentes campos de las relaciones internacionales. Se trata de una tarea que reviste cierta complejidad en un mundo en proceso de transición continuo, en el cual conviven lo viejo y lo nuevo, y que por ello requiere de revisiones permanentes.

Los textos poseen la audacia propia de aquellos que buscan la originalidad en los enfoques seleccionados para investigar, pero que a la vez tienen que bregar con una dificultad que se profundiza y que obstaculiza muchas veces la correcta interpretación de los fenómenos objeto de análisis. Esto no solo sucede por el mayor número de factores que interactúan en un contexto de globalización creciente, sino también por la indeterminación de los procesos políticos internacionales y nacionales, que se cristalizan en la imposibilidad de establecer un horizonte previsible que conduzca a la confección de un mundo y una disciplina más ordenados.

Dispersive element of the compact spectrometer based on photonic crystal with a modulated photonic bandgap
Authors: Pyshkov N. I. , Svyakhovskiy S. E.
Published: October 2024

A compact dispersive element based on a photonic crystal with a modulated period has been experimentally
demonstrated. The position of the photonic band gap of this crystal gradually shifts with depth towards
long waves, so different spectral components are reflected from different depths of the structure. At inclined
incidence, this provides a significant Goos-H¨anchen shift and its strong spectral dependence and contributes
to the spatial separation of the spectral components.

Authors: Akimova O.V. , Kaminskaya T.P. , Popov V.V.
Published: October 2024

The surface state of palladium-based alloys, specifically Pd–6.0In–0.5Ru and Pd–7.0Y (the element content
is given in wt.%) has been studied using magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and atomic force microscopy
(AFM). The study was conducted within the framework of the current trend to enhance the safety of hydrogen
separation and storage. The samples for the study were made of high-purity metals through arc alloying. They
underwent reversible hydrogen alloying to investigate the impact of internal deformation of metal systems
on their structure-sensitive properties. The study demonstrates the characteristics of the sample surface
morphology and domain structure before and after hydrogenation. The local magnetic properties of alloy
surfaces have been clarified, and their changes as a result of hydrogen exposure have been identified.

Authors: M. Elanchezhiyan  , K. Ayyappan  , M. Ramachandran  , K. Shibi Thomas
Published: October 2024

The present study was conducted to study the effect of maize (Zea mays) cob on replacing paddy straw in the Total Mixed Ration (TMR). Twelve cross bred calves of about 5 to 8 months of age with body weight ranging from 41 to 79 kg were divided into two groups of six each in completely randomized design. Five complete diets were prepared (TMR1 to TMR5) using maize cobs at the level of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement of paddy straw in the diets containing 12 % CP and 60 % TDN of 50:50 concentrate to roughage ratio. There was significant (P<0.01) differences among the diets in OM, CF, NFE, TA, AIA, NDF, ADF, Lignin, Hemicellulose and Cellulose contents. In vitro rumen fermentation study showed significantly (P<0.01) higher total gas (ml/200 mg/48 h), in vitro dry matter and organic matter degradability in maize cob based ration than paddy straw contained ration (51.17 vs 36.00; 62.87 vs 57.25; 64.80 vs 59.93). Paddy straw (100%) based diet as control ration and maize cob (100 % replacement of paddy straw) based diet as treatment ration fed to growing calves for sixty days in growth trial. A seven day digestion trial was conducted in the middle of the experiment. The digestibility (%) of DM, OM, CP, EE, CF and NFE were significantly (P<0.01) higher in the maize cob based diet fed group than paddy straw based diet fed group. The average body weight gain (kg) and FCR (kg DMI/ kg gain) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in maize cob fed animals (19.47; 6.10) than paddy straw fed animals (16.02; 7.34). The feed cost per unit of weight gain in calves fed paddy straw based diet was numerically higher (30.78 %) than calves fed on maize cob based ration. It could be concluded that maize cob based ration could replace paddy straw at 100 % level in total mixed ration without affecting feed intake and nutrient digestibility and may also improve the body weight gain and reduce feed cost in growing calves.

Published: October 2024

Milk and its derivatives are considered complete foods and the greatest source of calcium that can be absorbed by man. However, a large percentage of people cannot consume this food due to lactose intolerance. Because of this factor, they tend to opt for products labeled "zero lactose", however, some products do not follow the determination of the legislation for lactose content, compromising the health of consumers who trust these brands. The same practice is carried out in products labeled "light", where the consumer chooses the product in the hope that there will be a reduced fat content compared to its original version and finds products totally outside the parameters determined in Brazilian legislation and once again putting the consumer's health at risk. In this work, the lactose content in milks labeled "zero lactose" was analyzed, in addition to the fat content in cream cheese labeled "light" and/or "reduced in total fats" produced by three brands and marketed in the region of Alegre-ES and which were in disagreement with the parameters established by the legislation.

Authors: Gervasio Stela Márcia Draib , Vador Rosana Maria Faria , Carlúcio Leandra Ruzene , Lima Raquel Pereira Gomes
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) state that cancer (AC) was responsible for one in 6 deaths in the world, that is, 8.8 million deaths, of which 571 thousand were due to breast cancer. Pain is considered the fifth vital sign and because it is the most common symptom described by clients undergoing cancer treatment, regardless of the clinical situation in which each woman finds herself, it deserves real recognition and immediate care, as its constancy directly interferes with emotional conditions and their tasks, directly affecting their recovery. Thus, the present research aims to provide subsidies to help nurses in the management of pain in breast cancer patients, using alternative resources already applied by nursing for other interventions, now directed to the improvement of acute or chronic pain. The technical-scientific knowledge of this professional about the evaluation and performance of appropriate interventions for pain is essential to provide improvement in the quality of life of these clients, as well as their socialization during this period. Objectives To describe the role of nurses in pain management for women affected by breast cancer. Method: An integrative literature review was used, through national and international scientific articles published in the BVS, PUBMED, SCIELO, LILACS databases, as well as books, booklets/manuals of the Ministry of Health, between 2010 and 2018. Results: Twenty (20) articles, five (5) books and four (4) booklets/manuals of the Ministry of Health were selected to compose the review. Conclusion: Thus, this research demonstrates the degree of importance of this theme, proving that the prescription of alternative therapies by nurses is pertinent to treatment, as they can promote help in controlling and relieving pain in clients with breast cancer.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING A GROWTH MINDSET
Authors: Katsumata Ricardo Noboru , Teixeira Sylvana Lima
Published: October 2024

The concept of growth mindset is based on the premise that skills and intelligence can be improved through effort and dedication, promoting personal and professional development. Individuals who adopt this perspective tend to face challenges as learning opportunities and show a greater ability to adapt to change, an essential differential in corporate environments that require innovation and teamwork. In contrast, the fixed mindset can restrict progress by considering skills as unalterable, resulting in stagnation. In this context, emotional intelligence plays a crucial role, empowering people to manage their emotions constructively and maintain healthy relationships in the workplace. The methodology used in this analysis was based on a bibliographic research, supported by books and academic articles. The relationship between growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and leadership strengthens innovation and resilience, qualities that are indispensable for success, both individually and organizationally, in a scenario of constant transformation.

The word gossypiboma derives from the Latin gossypium, meaning cotton, and the Swahili Boma, hiding place. The term refers to surgical items of textile matrix inadvertently left inside cavities after closure of the surgical wound. In the literature, its incidence is around 1% of abdominal surgeries, but it is believed that there is underreporting. It can cause nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain and abscess at the beginning of the condition, or progress to intestinal obstruction, fistulas and rectal extrusion if retained for a prolonged time. The present study aims to report the case of a patient with a history of total hysterectomy for 30 years, admitted with obstruction to the emergency room of a tertiary hospital, where exploratory laparotomy was indicated and hypothesized retroperitoneal tumor during the procedure was raised. After discussing the case in a clinical meeting, the hypothesis of gossypiboma was raised and a reapproach was chosen, which confirmed the finding of a foreign body in the abdominal cavity.

Authors: da Silva Allan Elias
Published: October 2024

Family farming plays a vital role in food security and rural development, especially in rural areas. This study investigates sustainability in family farming, focusing on the Nossa Senhora das Graças Settlement, in Caiuá, São Paulo. The objective was to analyze agricultural practices, identify challenges and propose improvements to promote more sustainable practices. The qualitative and exploratory research included semi-structured interviews and direct observations of agricultural practices. The results reveal a limited diversity of crops, predominance of traditional soil conservation techniques and mixed use of natural pesticides and chemicals. Challenges include a lack of resources, technical assistance, and knowledge about sustainable practices. Despite recognizing the importance of sustainability, farmers face significant barriers that limit the full adoption of sustainable practices. The research highlights the need for public policies and training programs to support the transition to more resilient and sustainable practices in family farming.
BEYOND RHETORIC: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMAZON
Authors: Coelho Ilsa Maria Valois , Marques Raquel , Cartaxo Elizabeth Ferreira
Published: October 2024

The Amazon region is environmentally and socially diverse from other Brazilian regions, but it has been the target of inconsistencies in the implementation of public policies that negatively interfere with the development of the state, with harmful effects mainly for the capital Manaus. The great importance of the Amazon rainforest for the sustainability of the planet and the frequent attacks on natural wealth, motivate this work that seeks to alert to problems such as rural exodus, overpopulation of urban centers and the consequent negative effects on the quality of life of the population, problems connected to desertification and degradation of the Amazon environment. These themes have been addressed by renowned scientists and many national and international publications denounce the economic interests involved in public policies that masquerade as "developmentalist". This article talks to these experts, concluding about the extreme difficulty of overcoming the populist policies that have culturally marked the history of the region. It also reflects on the modernization and development policies of the State of Amazonas, highlighting the contradictions and reflecting on the consequences of this development model, which conflicts with the preservation of the region's natural resources.

Cet article souhaite interroger la rareté des travaux scientifiques menés sur la clientèle féminine de services sexuels. Il explore différents facteurs – à la fois théoriques et méthodologiques – qui contribuent à la complexité de l’examen anthropologique de la figure de la cliente. À la lumière de la réticence manifestée par ces femmes, actrices au cœur de l'industrie du sexe, à partager leur expérience, cet article examine en particulier les défis heuristiques auxquels doivent faire face les anthropologues sur ce terrain. En outre, il analyse les dynamiques de genre qui conduisent ces dernières à faire silence.
Le silence de la race
Authors:   Université d’Aix-Marseille, Centre Norbert Elias, Bonniol Jean-Luc
Published: October 2024

L’histoire de l’obsession raciale, propre à l’Occident, relève d’une volonté d’organiser le corps social en s’appuyant sur des catégories distinctives, à des fins de séparation ou de domination. Comme une telle assignation est souvent associée à des mécanismes divers d’infériorisation, est-il possible de s’en évader ? Dans les cas où l’apparence physique est perçue comme une évidence (couleur de la peau, traits du visage…), cette évasion semble bien difficile. Mais dans ceux où la différence d’apparence n'est pas au rendez-vous, la stratégie pour nombre de sujets a pu être celle de l’évitement, par la dissimulation, le secret et le silence, face au danger et au risque d’être découvert. Il est donc d’abord question, en matière de race, en des contextes où toute parole peut entraîner des conséquences dévastatrices, de silence dans une logique personnelle de sauvegarde. Mais, parmi toute la diversité de ses dimensions sociales, parfois contradictoires, est également évoqué un autre registre de silence, collectif, celui qui se fonde sur une volonté d’indistinction raciale.

Authors: Barquera Martínez Alondra , Velázquez Hernández Jorge Arturo , Contreras Espinosa Nury Diana , Villanueva Cornejo Rebeca del Carmen
Published: October 2024

Las prácticas artísticas en la educación universitaria se han colocado como una perspectiva más que ayuda a mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en carreras que no tienen ninguna relación con el arte. En la actualidad los estudiantes transitan en un mundo donde el arte se sigue percibiendo como una opción alterna, sin gran impacto en el campo laboral y por lo mismo, siguen considerándose con poca presencia en las carreras universitarias de ciencias duras. La presente investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo porque busca visibilizar el impacto que tiene el arte en estudiantes de ingeniería y su relación con el campo laboral con la intención de evidenciar que el arte se relaciona con cualquier práctica del ingeniero. La muestra se considera por conveniencia debido a la facilidad de acceso con los alumnos y la cantidad de los mismos. Los resultados obtenidos exhiben la apreciación del discente con el empleo del arte en su actuar académico y profesional. Finalmente, en la conclusión se establecen sugerencias para considerar el arte dentro de la formación integral del discente universitario.

Authors: Carrasco Flor Marlene
Published: October 2024

Este estudio explora la influencia de la actitud del docente universitario en el desarrollo de habilidades blandas en estudiantes nativos digitales de primer año en la Facultad de Educación de Estudios Generales de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, durante el periodo académico 2024-I. A través de un diseño no experimental y correlacional, se analizó la relación entre la actitud del docente y diversas habilidades blandas, utilizando la correlación ordinal de Spearman debido a la no normalidad de los datos. Se seleccionó una muestra probabilística de 187 estudiantes, y se emplearon cuestionarios en escala Likert para medir la percepción de las actitudes docentes y las habilidades blandas autoevaluadas por los estudiantes. Los resultados revelaron una correlación significativa (rho de .820, p < .001) entre la actitud del docente y el desarrollo de habilidades blandas, explicando un 67.2% de la variabilidad en estas habilidades. Esta investigación destaca la importancia crítica de las interacciones educativas en el desarrollo socioemocional y profesional de los estudiantes, sugiriendo que los educadores juegan un rol decisivo más allá de la transmisión de conocimientos técnicos. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de programas de formación docente que enfaticen el desarrollo de competencias pedagógicas y socioemocionales.
Reflexión histórica sobre la expropiación de tiempo hasta la era moderna
Authors: Luna Gaona Zulma Gabriela
Published: October 2024

La evolución del capitalismo, se debió en gran medida al control y disciplinamiento del tiempo y en consecuencia a la condena del ocio. Este artículo explora cómo a través de la historia se da la imposición de un tiempo a la orden del capitalismo y como durante la transición hacia la economía industrial se alteró la gestión del tiempo en las economías preindustriales, que solían basarse en ciclos naturales. A partir de esto, analiza cómo la ética capitalista se impuso lenta y violentamente, y el ritmo del trabajo se organizó separando el ocio de la producción, impactando particularmente a las mujeres, reduciendo las posibilidades de desarrollar el potencial humano por fuera de los intereses económicos. Además, plantea un análisis sobre la división entre trabajo reproductivo y productivo como una base de la expansión capitalista, profundizando las desigualdades. La reflexión histórica conduce el análisis a través de las estrategias planteadas por Taylor, pasando por Ford y finalmente por el toyotismo con la flexibilización del trabajo desde la óptica del contexto mexicano, el cual revela que, pese a la promesa de la flexibilización laboral, el tiempo sigue siendo una mercancía en un sistema que obstaculiza el equilibrio entre producción y reproducción, limitando el tiempo para el desarrollo humano.

Además, se analiza el impacto del marxismo en la ciencia, destacando la necesidad de una ciencia accesible y orientada a mejorar las condiciones sociales, así como los desafíos que enfrenta la demarcación científica y el crecimiento de la ciencia en la sociedad moderna. Por último, se examinan las implicaciones epistemológicas en las ciencias sociales y en el sistema educativo, enfatizando la importancia de un enfoque interdisciplinario y crítico en la enseñanza. Se concluye que una comprensión crítica y reflexiva del conocimiento es esencial para promover el aprendizaje significativo y la justicia social en la educación actual.
Positive Mental Health and Meat Consumption: A Systematic and Meta-Analytic Review
Authors: Dobersek Urska , Bender Mary , Etienne Alexandria , Fernandez Gil Gabriela , Standiford Reyes Laurel
Published: October 2024

In this systematic and meta-analytic review, we examined the current evidence on positive psychological variables between individuals who consumed meat and individuals who abstained from meat consumption. After systematically searching five online databases for primary research on positive psychological outcomes in meat consumers and meat abstainers, 19 studies with 94,204 participants (nmeat consumers = 82,449, nmeat abstainers = 9,964) met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The primary outcomes were self-esteem, satisfaction with life, and positive mental health. The secondary outcomes were positive affect, psychological well-being, vigor, optimism, happiness, and meaning in life. Individuals who consumed meat had greater positive mental health (g = 0.21, 95% CI [0.08, 0.31], p = .001) than meat abstainers. No significant differences were found between the groups on self-esteem (g = 0.19, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.38], p = .06) and satisfaction with life (g = 0.02, 95% CI [-0.04, 0.07], p = .57). The majority of studies examining the secondary outcomes showed no group differences. The evidence was limited, requiring more studies to determine the role of study quality in diet-health relations. Study designs precluded inference of causal and temporal relations. With respect to clinical practice, our findings add to the current controversial diet-health debate.
Subprime Crisis Shockwaves: Impacts On Capital Structure In Non-Financial Corporations
Authors: BADRAN Moustapha , BENHMAD François , AWADA Mohamed
Published: October 2024

Based upon a dataset spanning about 2,780 non-financial firms in France over the period 2007- 2019, we explore the impact of the subprime crisis on their leverage ratio and capital structure, comparing the experience of the largest listed and unlisted non-financial corporates. Our results highlight that both listed and unlisted corporates tend to reduce their overall indebtedness ratios during the subprime crisis period and its aftermath, generalizing a significant corporate deleveraging for listed and unlisted firms especially during the post-crisis period. In addition, our findings show that listed corporates become more dependable on short- and medium-term credits than the long-term which may increase the exposure of these corporates to credit and liquidity shocks. While our outcomes reveal a clear preference to long-term debt for unlisted firms by expanding their debt maturities, relying on long-term credits and reducing their dependence on short- and medium-term debt which burden these corporates with short-term charges and payments that cannot afford during the crisis and post-crisis periods.

Authors: Ertürk Alper , Alkhayyat Razan
Published: October 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of organizational justice perceptions, namely distributive and procedural justice, on turnover intentions, moderated by tenure in the organization. Academicians from various public and private universities in Turkiye are selected as the main target of this study. Data was collected via a web-based questionnaire. A total of 748 questionnaires were analyzed. The results indicate that organizational justice components (i.e. distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice) have significant negative influence on turnover intentions. Furthermore, analysis has revealed that tenure in the organization moderates the link from distributive and procedural justice perceptions to turnover intentions. Some practical implications are also discussed.
Brand Strategy And Business Performance: How Does Logo Changes Affect Sales And Stock Prices?
Authors: Dash Sidhant , Jung Sungwoo
Published: October 2024

Branding strategy influences business performance significantly. This paper investigates how logo changes affect the sales and stock price. Previous research has focused on the importance of logo design. However, none have analyzed empirical data on actual companies that can be utilized to further interpret the real-world implications of existing restaurant brands. A quantitative, statistical analysis employing an ANOVA, Mann-Kendall, and a correlational test was conducted to determine whether a logo change had a particularly significant change, trend, and pattern on a restaurant brand’s stock price and revenue sales. Furthermore, company logos were categorized between logotypes (text) and combination marks (symbolism and text) to determine whether different types of logos have alternative effects. Results showed that a logo redesign didn’t have a significant effect on the stock price. However, there was a significant change in revenue sales after a logo change for certain companies after ~1-2 years with logotypes typically having more success.

Published: October 2024

The rapid deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) practices within the financial industry presents significant ethical and governance challenges that must be navigated effectively. As financial institutions increasingly adopt AI technologies to enhance their AML efforts, concerns regarding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and transparency emerge. This review explores the ethical implications of AI in AML and offers governance strategies to mitigate risks while ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks. One of the primary ethical challenges in deploying AI for AML is the potential for algorithmic bias. AI systems trained on historical data may inadvertently perpetuate existing biases, leading to discriminatory practices in transaction monitoring and customer profiling. This raises serious concerns about fairness and equity in the financial sector. Addressing algorithmic bias requires the implementation of rigorous testing and validation processes to ensure AI systems function impartially across diverse populations. Data privacy is another critical issue. The extensive data collection required for effective AML monitoring raises questions about the protection of sensitive customer information. Financial institutions must establish robust data governance frameworks that prioritize privacy and comply with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Ensuring transparency in how data is used and providing clear communication to customers about data practices is essential for building trust. Effective governance frameworks are crucial in navigating these ethical challenges. Financial institutions should adopt a multi-disciplinary approach that includes ethical guidelines, compliance measures, and risk management strategies. Establishing oversight committees can help ensure that AI deployment aligns with ethical standards and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, ongoing training for employees on the ethical use of AI in AML can foster a culture of responsibility and accountability. This review highlights the need for a balanced approach to AI deployment in AML, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations and governance structures. As the financial industry continues to evolve, addressing these challenges will be essential for maintaining trust, ensuring compliance, and leveraging AI’s potential to enhance AML practices effectively.
ДИЕТИЧЕСКАЯ КОРРЕКЦИЯ ОЖИРЕНИЯ У ДЕТЕЙ И ПОДРОСТКОВ
Authors: Павловская Елена Вячеславовна , Строкова Татьяна Викторовна
Published: October 2024

Оптимизация питания является одним из ведущих компонентов терапии ожирения у пациентов всех возрастных групп. У детей и подростков диетическая коррекция ожирения имеет особое значение в связи с ограничениями медикаментозных и хирургических методов лечения. Целью диетотерапии ожирения у детей является не только снижение массы тела, но и обеспечение организма нутриентами, необходимыми для дальнейшего роста и развития. В настоящее время в амбулаторной практике для детей с ожирением не рекомендуется длительное использование гипокалорийных диет в связи с их негативным действием на пищевой статус и качество жизни. Методом выбора является индивидуальный нормокалорийный рацион с достаточным содержанием белка и контролем содержания углеводов и/или жиров, составленный с учетом переносимости пищевых продуктов и вкусовых предпочтений ребенка. Необходимо обучение пациентов для формирования стереотипа здорового питания и адекватного пищевого поведения в дальнейшие возрастные периоды. Перспективной терапевтической стратегией можно считать дотацию ключевых для пищевого статуса нутриентов. В статье представлены современные подходы к диетотерапии ожирения у детей и подростков, позволяющие обеспечить длительное сохранение приверженности к лечению пациентов и их семей.

Optimization of nutrition is one of the main components of obesity therapy in patients of all age groups. In children and adolescents, dietary correction of obesity is especially important due to the limitations of medical and surgical treatments. The goal of diet therapy for obesity in children is not only to reduce body weight, but also to provide the body with the nutrients necessary for further growth and development. Currently, the longterm use of hypocaloric diets is not recommended in outpatient practice for obese children due to their negative effect on nutritional status and quality of life. The method of choice is an individual isocaloric ration with sufficient protein content and control of carbohydrates and/or fats, compiled taking into account food tolerance and taste preferences of the child. It is necessary to educate patients to form a stereotype of healthy eating and adequate eating behavior in later age periods. A promising therapeutic strategy can be considered the supplementation of nutrients that are key to nutritional status. The article presents modern approaches to dietary therapy of obesity in children and adolescents, which make it possible to ensure long-term adherence to treatment for patients and their families.
СРАВНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА ТЕЧЕНИЯ ПЕРИНАТАЛЬНОГО ПЕРИОДА ДЕТЕЙ, РОЖДЕННЫХ НА РАННИХ СРОКАХ ГЕСТАЦИИ, С ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕМ ВСПОМОГАТЕЛЬНЫХ РЕПРОДУКТИВНЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ И САМОСТОЯТЕЛЬНОЙ БЕРЕМЕННОСТИ

Проведено ретроспективное исследование 42 пар-копий новорожденных детей, рожденных в Санкт-Петербурге и Ленинградской области в результате самостоятельной беременности и после применения вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий (ВРТ) на сроке 22 недель 0 дней — 27 недель 6 дней включительно за период 2018–2022 гг. в результате одноплодной или многоплодной беременности (двойни). Каждую группу разделили также на еще 2 подгруппы по срокам гестации. Сравнивались все 4 подгруппы между собой. На основании проведенного исследования можно отметить неоднозначность течения беременности и родов у детей сравниваемых групп. Тем не менее отмечается единство в реализации биологических программ роста и развития, а также достоверно низкий уровень соматического и репродуктивного здоровья у матерей, планировавших беременность при помощи ВРТ. Готовится создание  доказательного алгоритма, который поможет практикующим докторам и будущим родителям избежать нежелательных последствий и минимизирует риски для жизни и здоровья новорожденных.

A retrospective study was conducted of 42 copy pairs of newborns born in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region as a result of independent pregnancy and after the use of ART at 22 weeks. 0 days — 27 weeks. 6 days inclusive for the period 2018–2022 as a result of a singleton or multiple pregnancy (twins). Also, each group was divided into 2 subgroupsmore, according to gestational age. All 4 subgroups were compared with each other. Based on the study, it can be noted that the course of pregnancy and childbirth in children of the compared groups is ambiguous. Nevertheless, there is unity in the implementation of biological programs of growth and development, as well as a signifi cantly low level of somatic and reproductive health in mothers who planned pregnancy using ART. It is planned to create an evidence-based algorithm that will help practicing doctors and future parents avoid undesirable consequences and minimize the risks to the life and health of newborns.

The paper quantifies the impact of the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war on sovereign bond yields for 58 countries. Our findings based on event study methodology and multivariate cross-sectional regression analysis highlight the salient role of trade channel in shaping the markets’ reaction to the hostilities. The uptick in yields was higher in countries with a greater share of agricultural raw materials imports from Ukraine. No other persistent cross-geography differences in market reactions were found. The strength of the reaction was contingent on the individual countries’ macroeconomic conditions. The post-event cumulative abnormal returns exhibited a positive associative link with the baseline inflation in the studied countries pointing to the inflationary pressure portended by the outbreak of war. No statistically significant links between the ex ante situation on the labor market and the subsequent bond market reaction were observed. At the outset of hostilities, the dynamics of yields were driven by the perceived likelihood of escalation, while at later stages, the trade channel appears to have shaped the market response. The paper provides insights into the factors shaping the spillover effects of the war on fixed-income markets and quantifies the speed of market adjustment in response to an external shock.

Pekerja Rumah Tangga (PRT) merupakan salah satu jenis pekerjaan yang saat ini semakin berkembang dan banyak keberadaannya. Sebagai bentuk perlindungan terhadap PRT, maka DPR bersama Presiden menggagas RUU PPRT yang nantinya dapat disahkan menjadi regulasi dalam melindungi dan menghukum para pelanggarnya. Penelitian ini mempertanyakan mengenai bagaimana tinjauan hukum RUU PPRT terhadap persoalan PRT di Indonesia. Tujuannya sudah tentu untuk mengetahui jawaban dari rumusan masalah yakni tinjauan hukum RUU PPRT terhadap persoalan PRT di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan berdasarkan sumber hukum utama yakni RUU PPRT serta menelaah teori, konsep serta asas hukum yang berkaitan dengan penelitian. Artinya pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan kajian pustaka. PRT di Indonesia mengalami banyak sekali persoalan baik yang dialami sebelum menjadi PRT maupun saat menjadi PRT. Sudah genap 19 tahun RUU PPRT yang dinilai sebagai aturan untuk melindungi hak-hak dasar PRT tak kunjung disahkan. RUU PPRT fokus tinjauannya kepada perlindungan dan sanksi terhadap para pelanggarnya. Sebagai itikad baik untuk melindungi PRT, maka RUU PPRT harus segera disahkan mengingat sudah banyak terjadi ketidakadilan yang dialami PRT dan regulasi lain belum cukup untuk mengakomodasi hal tersebut. RUU PPRT sebagai lex specialist dari lex generalis Pasal 28D ayat (1) dan ayat (2), dan Pasal 28I Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 dalam melindungi PRT, maka sudah seharusnya pemerintah mengambil langkah cepat dan tanggap untuk mengesahkannya menjadi UU PPRT.

KUHP baru masih memerlukan peraturan pelaksana yang mengatur lebih lanjut mengenai prosedur formil pemaktuban hukum pidana adat masing-masing daerah ke dalam Perda guna menghindari adanya tumpang tindih secara vertical dan horizontal. Ketiadaan aturan pelaksana yang menjadi jembatan antara KUHP baru dengan Perda yang akan mengatur hukum pidana adat daerah masing-masing akan mengakibatkan hukum pidana adat masih mengandalkan putusan Pengadilan Negeri yang mengadili kasus pidana adat yang sebelumnya sudah diadili oleh lembaga adat setempat sehingga melanggar asas Ne bis idem. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah mengetahui KUHP baru mengatur penerapan hukum pidana adat yang dipositivasi dan mengetahui pembentukan RPP sebagai acuan legislasi perda pidana adat. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundangundangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hak konstitusional Masyarakat Hukum Adat (MHA) masih sering dilanggar. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya perlindungan pada hirarki norma yang berada di bawahnya. Mulai dari putusan hakim yang menderogasi peradilan adat dan perda belum sesuai dengan KUHP baru. RPP tentang Pelaksanaan Pidana Adat dapat membantu legislasi Perda pidana adat memiliki substansi norma yang sesuai dengan ratio legis, Bahasa hukum yang mewujudkan kepastian hukum, dan tujuan pemidanaan agar terwujudnya kepastian hukum dalam penerapan pidana adat dengan tidak menghilangkan fleksibilitasnya dalam menjaga keutuhan MHA.

The aim of the study: to highlight the practical challenges in diagnosing and treating retinal diseases.
Material and methods. The choroid and retina are highly vascularized, express a very high metabolic activity, and are prone to be affected by minör environmental insults and systemic diseases. These layers' delicate, small structural sizes present similar aspects and signs due to various local and distant pathologies. Advances in diagnostic tools have enabled clinicians to identify subtle changes within the posterior segment layers, leading to accurate diagnosis and treatment. However, to fulfill their role effectively, clinicians must ask the right questions, conduct thorough evaluations, and possess in-depth knowledge.
Results and conclusion. Through the presentation of different cases, common pitfalls will be discussed to help simplify the complexity of diagnosis and facilitate appropriate treatment.
