ESTABLISHMENT OF UKRAINIAN-POLISH LITERARY RELATIONS DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kovaliv Yurii
Published: December 2024

The article is describes the observation of Ukrainian-Polish relations during the difficult time of the interwar twenty years under unfavorable conditions of political life (sanitization, pacification) after unsuccessful national liberation struggles for Ukraine. The dynamics of the formation of the new Ukrainian cultural and literary infrastructure on the territory of Poland are considered, starting with the activities of the Ukrainian People’s Republic in exile, the formation of a new generation of emigrants who accepted the harsh challenges of modernity, did not despair, changed the bayonet to a pen. The. formation of the foundations of the “Prague School” in the camp center of interned soldiers, their gradual confirmation in literature, attempts to establish creative contacts with the “scamandrites”, and the formation of extra-camp formations are clarified. Specifically, the Ukrainian creative emigration under the conditions of rehabilitation, pacification or semi-recognition was urged to break through marginal complexities in the Polish and Czech environment and, under the new circumstances, felt the need for “a new challenge: to create a national culture and thereby strengthen the power of the people in its liberation struggles“. The panorama of the intellectual potential of Ukrainian scientists in Poland is highlighted, the process of establishing the Ukrainian-Polish communicative field (as opposed to political realities), documented by contemporary periodicals and personal contacts of Ukrainian and Polish writers, is clarified. However, despite the policies of Marshal J. Piłsudski and the harsh leveling of Ukrainianness, some Polish periodicals treated the Ukrainian problem favorably. It is stated that Ukrainian-Polish literary ties did not tear off during the interwar period, but patched up fragmentally, unfortunately did not acquire the hoped-for circulation of ideas, testifying to the possibility of dialogical convergence of horizons of understanding despite various, primarily political, differences, different cultures and creative experiences.
THE POEM “TKANINA” BY ZBIGNIEW HERBERT AND UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION BY VIKTOR DMYTRUK
Authors:   Ivan Franko Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Lviv, Ukraine, Nakhlik Yevhen
Published: December 2024

The author considers Zbigniew Herbert’s lyrical masterpiece “Tkanina” (1998), written almost three months before his death. In this latest poetic, Herbert expresses his perception of the world and himself, as well as his sparse self-reflections. In terms of genre and style, the researcher describes this poem consisting of two stanzas as a supplication (first stanza) and a farewell (second stanza). Sometimes the genre of this poem is interpreted as a literary and ethical testament, given that Zbigniew Herbert wrote it almost three months before his death. The author of the article has also included some comments on the translation of this poem by Viktor Dmytruk (*1945–†10 February 2024), who is known for his best Ukrainian translations of Herbert’s poetry. The researcher shows that in the case of the poem “Tkanina”, the translator faced the problem of reproducing the semantic content of the text and the need to preserve the rhymes according to the ABBA CDDC scheme present in the original. Looking for the optimal solution, the translator balanced between adequately conveying the meaning of words and tropes and searching for successful rhymes, and since it was not entirely possible to find words to rhyme that matched the original, he adjusted the semantics to rhyme, limiting himself to words similar in meaning. As a result of this approach, semantic nuances in rhyming words are sometimes lost in translation. What Herbert had in mind, relying on the guess of an inquisitive reader, and therefore expressed in a hint, however, easily readable, the translator says directly. For Herbert, the epithet “brzeg niedaleki” is situational and deeply personal. With this key psychological epithet, the poet expresses his piercing pain, unfathomable sadness due to the feeling of imminent departure. The poem, thus, constitutes a touching poetic farewell to the real shore, on which he is still “here and now”, but which is already moving away from him in a fleeting aging memory. In Viktor Dmytruk’s translation, the epithet “берег одвічний”(“the eternal coast”) appeared instead of the epithet “brzeg niedaleki”. As a result of such a replacement, the translated stanza turned out to be too general, the maxims expressed in it about crossing the border that separates life from death apply to all people in general.

Classification of Duration in Global Terorism using ResNet
Authors: Adriansyah Adinda Nurhayati , Riyadi Slamet
Published: December 2024

Terrorism is a global threat that affects the political, economic, and social stability of many countries. The number of victims killed is based on the duration of the terrorism incident. This study uses the Residual Network (ResNet) model to classify terrorism incidents based on the duration of the incident (less than 24 hours and more than 24 hours) using the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) dataset. The GTD data used covers terrorism incidents from 1970 to 2017, with a total of 181,691. After preprocessing the data by converting categorical features to numeric and removing missing values, the data was divided into training, validation, and test sets with a composition of 70%, 15%, and 15%. The results show that the ResNet model is able to achieve a validation accuracy of 99.61% and a validation loss value of 0.0183. These findings show that the ResNet model is effective in classifying the duration of terrorism incidents and has the potential to be used in the development of better terrorism prevention systems.
Mobile Surveillance System using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Aerial Imagery
Authors: Haq Muhamad Amirul
Published: December 2024

Crowd counting plays a vital role in public safety, particularly during riot scenarios where understanding crowd dynamics is crucial for effective decision-making and risk mitigation. Accurate crowd estimation in such environments enables authorities to monitor the situation in real time, allocate resources efficiently, and prevent potential escalations. However, counting individuals in a riot scenario presents unique challenges due to the chaotic nature of the scene, varying crowd densities, and obstructions caused by movement and environmental factors. Traditional methods struggle to provide reliable results in these conditions, necessitating advanced solutions. This study explores the implementation of CSRNet (Congested Scene Recognition Network), a state-of-the-art deep learning model, to address crowd counting in challenging environments characterized as "images in the wild." CSRNet’s ability to leverage dilated convolutions allows it to effectively capture contextual information and handle high crowd densities without sacrificing spatial resolution. We evaluate the model’s performance on diverse datasets, including aerial imagery and real-world riot scenarios, focusing on its adaptability to dynamic, unstructured environments. The results demonstrate the potential of CSRNet to provide accurate crowd density estimates under adverse conditions, offering critical insights for public safety applications. By addressing the technical challenges of implementing CSRNet in these contexts, this study contributes to the advancement of deep learning-based crowd counting, emphasizing its significance in real-world scenarios such as riots and other high-stakes events. Future work aims to further enhance the model's robustness and applicability to diverse operational settings.
15 años de desarrollos legislativos y jurisprudenciales en Brasil
Authors: Mange Flavia
Published: December 2024

Brasil actualmente posee un cuadro regulatorio favorable al arbitraje comercial, con una legislación adecuada a los niveles internacionales y una posición jurisprudencial favorable al arbitraje. Pese a que Brasil no ha ratificado la Convención de Washington y que no tiene Acuerdos Bilaterales de Inversión en los modelos internacionales que prevalecen actualmente, el arbitraje que involucra entes públicos está expresamente regulado por ley y utilizado por la administración pública en los grandes contratos, incluso incorporando a inversores extranjeros.

¿En qué medida la cláusula Nación más Favorecida (NMF) viola el consentimiento del Estado receptor de una inversión para someterse a arbitraje y por qué?
Authors: Rivadeneira Chacón Gabriela
Published: December 2024

La cláusula de nación más favorecida (en adelante, NMF, o cláusula NMF) contenida en un tratado bilateral de inversiones (en adelante, TBIs) impone a los Estados parte del tratado la obligación de garantizar a los inversionistas, de la nacionalidad de uno de estos Estados y a su inversión, un trato no menos favorable que el trato otorgado a un inversionista de la nacionalidad de un tercer Estado. No cabe duda de que la aplicación de la cláusula NMF permite que los inversionistas se beneficien del tratamiento más favorable otorgado por un tercer TBI. Sin embargo, la posibilidad de aplicar las cláusulas NMF a cuestiones procedimentales es todavía controversial. En los últimos años, los inversionistas extranjeros han visto en la cláusula NMF una herramienta para alterar las disposiciones establecidas en las cláusulas de resolución de disputas de un TBI o, peor aún, un mecanismo para escoger elementos favorables y crear su propia cláusula de solución de controversias. En este trabajo de investigación se observará que la aplicación de la cláusula NMF no altera el consentimiento del Estado receptor de una inversión de someterse a arbitraje en todos los casos, sino que dicho consentimiento únicamente se ve menoscabado cuando se alteran las condiciones esenciales para que se lleve a cabo el arbitraje. De este modo, se corroborará que el hecho de no cumplir con un requisito sobre el tiempo de litigo ante cortes nacionales no afecta la voluntad del Estado de arbitrar. Por el contrario, se evidenciará que en los casos en los que se busca: (i) cambiar el mecanismo de resolución de controversias; (ii) arbitrar una protección no contenida en la cláusula de solución de controversias; o (iii) incorporar definiciones distintas a las contenidas en el tratado base, sí constituyen violaciones al consentimiento para arbitrar.

El proceso de nulidad de laudos arbitrales en el Ecuador: un comentario a la Sentencia No. 308-14-EP/20
Authors: Marchán Maldonado Juan Manuel , Vasco Campoverde Michelle
Published: December 2024

La Corte Constitucional del Ecuador dictó la Sentencia No. 308-14-EP/20 aclarando aspectos procesales de la interposición de la acción de nulidad en contra de laudos arbitrales. En esencia, la Corte determinó que: (i) la demanda de nulidad debe ser presentada en contra de la parte del proceso arbitral que no interpuso la acción de nulidad, y no contra el tribunal arbitral; y (ii) el tribunal arbitral es competente para establecer la validez formal de la acción antes de que se corra traslado al presidente de la Corte Provincial que la resolverá definitivamente. Es probable que esta sentencia implique mejoras y celeridad en el proceso de nulidad de laudos.
Menos sorpresas e incertidumbre: propuesta de reforma a la Ley de Arbitraje y Mediación (LAM) en materia de responsabilidad civil de los árbitros, los centros de arbitraje y sus directores
Authors: Molina Coello Brisney David
Published: December 2024

La LAM prevé responsabilidad civil para los árbitros, centros de arbitraje y sus directores. Sin embargo, no la regula con un régimen especial. Con posiciones divididas, la doctrina ecuatoriana afirma que el régimen civil o las normas aplicables a los jueces podrían usarse alternativamente. Este trabajo propone un texto para una posible reforma a la LAM. Se recomienda que la ley: (i) adopte la teoría mixta sobre la naturaleza del arbitraje; (ii) tipifique los deberes de los árbitros y los directores; (iii) establezca reglas sobre la graduación de la culpa; e, (iv) incorpore requisitos especiales que acoplen la imputación de responsabilidad civil a la realidad del arbitraje.
Notas sobre la cuantificación de los daños y sus intereses en el arbitraje
Authors: Chipana Catalán Jhoel , Judkiewicz Malgorzata
Published: December 2024

El resarcimiento por daños y perjuicios es, probablemente, la pretensión más solicitada en un arbitraje, pero también la más difícil de plantear. Las partes y los árbitros deben tener claro qué daños se pueden solicitar y en qué pruebas se van a sustentar. En este artículo, desde una perspectiva práctica, apoyada en importante casuística y doctrina, los autores desarrollan algunos temas relacionados con los daños que pueden presentarse a lo largo de un arbitraje y que deben tenerse en cuenta también a la hora de laudar. Importante es notar que, en el arbitraje internacional, donde se encuentran diferentes culturas y tradiciones jurídicas, varía la manera de abarcar cuestiones como el tipo de daños o de intereses, dependiendo de la sede arbitral o del lugar de ejecución del laudo. En ese sentido, este trabajo aborda brevemente los retos que pueden enfrentar las partes y los árbitros, y se exponen posibles soluciones.
Arbitraje y smart contracts ¿un nuevo reto para el foro arbitral ecuatoriano?
Authors: García Larriva Hugo , Cepeda Altamirano Carla
Published: December 2024

: No es extraño escuchar sobre la posibilidad de que los abogados, jueces y árbitros sean reemplazados por máquinas o robots en el futuro. No es extraño escuchar acerca de la tecnología blockchain y como esta se utiliza con más frecuencia en transacciones comerciales. Es innegable que la tecnología avanza a pasos desmedidos para revolucionar la práctica jurídica, dejando atrás la regulación y el ejercicio profesional “tradicional”. Sin embargo, en Ecuador, sentimos que esta realidad es ajena a nuestro entorno, quizá porque tenemos una industria con reducido desarrollo tecnológico, porque culturalmente nos cuesta salir de tradiciones y ritualismos –especialmente respecto a la administración de justicia– o quizá porque los abogados tenemos fama de ser adversos al cambio y huir de conceptos técnicos que van más allá del Derecho. Este artículo busca traer algunas de las discusiones que se encuentran en auge en el foro arbitral internacional sobre la interacción de la tecnología y el arbitraje y aterrizarlas a la realidad actual del Ecuador.
La caución en el arbitraje
Authors: Albuja Guarderas Fausto , Donoso Bustamante Ana Carolina
Published: December 2024

La caución es una garantía que se rinde con el objeto de asegurar el cumplimiento de una obligación. Jueces y árbitros en determinadas situaciones deben ordenar la consignación de una caución. En materia arbitral, hay dos situaciones en las cuales los árbitros requieren fijar caución, esto es, cuando la parte contra quien se ha ordenado una medida cautelar pide su suspensión, y cuando quien interpone la acción de nulidad en contra del laudo arbitral, solicita la suspensión de la ejecución del laudo, siendo ésta última situación la que se presenta con mayor frecuencia. Para estos casos, los árbitros no cuentan con una guía o criterio unificado, especialmente respecto al monto de la caución, por lo que tal decisión resulta ser discrecional, lo que en ocasiones afecta los derechos de las partes. El presente artículo pretende abrir el debate, planteando los puntos centrales del tema, en vías a una posible regulación.
La cuantía en la demanda arbitral, un limitante a los derechos de reparación
Authors: Arroyo Aguirre Carolina , Suárez Dávalos Leyre , Rivadeneira Chacón Gabriela
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza una práctica arbitral común en el Ecuador, por la cual los árbitros limitan los derechos de reparación al monto de la cuantía. Después de una revisión histórica, jurisprudencial y de derecho comparado, se concluye que la fijación de una cuantía exacta es ajena al arbitraje. Además, esta figura no puede implicar una limitación en la indemnización solicitada y que no existe una justificación para esta práctica, desde el punto de vista de la validez ni la ejecutividad del laudo arbitral.
Euclidean black holes and spin connection
Authors: Valtancoli P.
Published: December 2024

The Euclidean method is usually discussed in the context of the metric avoiding the typical delta of the conical singularity. We introduce a new way to calculate the Hawking temperature using the vierbein and spin connection. The conical singularity is seen globally through an effect on parallel transport, the so called holonomy of the spin connection. The period of the Euclidean time is calculated requiring that the holonomy of the spin connection is trivial at the event horizon.
Interference with Fatty Acyl-CoA Reductase Reduces Wax Secretion and Influences the Development of Male Ericerus pela (Hemiptera: Coccoidae) Nymphs1
Authors: Hu Yanhong , Dong Heng , Zhao Jiejun , Cui Linkai
Published: December 2024

Ericerus pela Chavannes (Hemiptera: Coccoidae) is a typical scale insect that can secrete a waxy covering over its body to protect itself from adverse factors. This insect significantly damages glossy privets and ash trees in most regions of China. The fatty acyl-CoA reductase (FAR) gene is a crucial enzyme in the cutin, suberine, and wax biosynthesis pathways in these insects and also in fatty acid metabolism. Herein, a synthesized double-stranded RNA of the FAR gene in E. pela (dsEpFAR) was used to explore the effects of dsEpFAR on the expression of EpFAR and secretion of wax and development of E. pela. The results showed that a high concentration of dsEpFAR could cause mortality of male nymphs. After a male nymph was treated with a low dose of dsEpFAR, the transcription level of EpFAR was significantly downregulated, the expression level of EpFAR protein was reduced, and the quantity of wax was markedly decreased, suggesting that EpFAR is a key gene in the biosynthesis of wax and that dsEpFAR can interfere with the gene EpFAR and disrupt the process of wax secretion. The growth and development of male nymphs were also significantly influenced by dsEpFAR treatment, leading to a significantly decreased weight and earlier nymph-to-pupae transition. The findings enhance the molecular understanding of male E. pela wax secretion and facilitate the development of EpFAR-based interference with wax secretion for the integrated management of male E. pela.

Authors: Lima Xavier Érica , Santos Silva Ruan Vítor , Mirla Borghi Mirla , De Jesus  Mendes Grazielle
Published: December 2024

Este estudo explorou a viabilidade de utilizar cebolas contaminadas como fonte para isolar o microrganismo Aspergillus niger e cascas de maçã trituradas como substrato para a produção de enzimas pectinolíticas por meio de fermentação semi-sólida. Após a coleta e identificação do microrganismo, foram realizados sucessivos repiques para isolar exclusivamente o Aspergillus niger, confirmado por análise microscópica. A fermentação em cascas de maçã resultou na produção eficiente de pectinases ao longo de três semanas, evidenciada pela transformação gradual das cascas e pela formação de um líquido fermentado. A separação do substrato por centrifugação permitiu a concentração das enzimas produzidas. A atividade pectinolítica foi avaliada pela formação de halos claros em placas de ágar pectina, demonstrando a capacidade do Aspergillus niger de produzir pectinases eficazes na degradação da pectina. A adaptação da técnica de preparação do ágar pectina foi essencial para os testes de atividade enzimática. A análise revelou uma relação significativa entre os diâmetros da placa, do aglomerado e do halo, indicando uma alta eficácia das pectinases produzidas. Além disso, a utilização de resíduos agroindustriais como substratos promoveu a valorização desses subprodutos e contribuiu para uma produção mais sustentável de enzimas pectinolíticas. Em conclusão, este estudo destacou o potencial industrial das pectinases obtidas, incentivando a continuidade da pesquisa e aplicação desses biocatalisadores.

Authors: SANTOS SILVA RUAN VITOR , Lima Xavier Érica , Borghi Mirla
Published: December 2024

O Staphylococcus aureus é uma bactéria amplamente estudada relativo à sua resistência e acometimento em infecções nosocomais. Por outro cenário, o Syzygium cumini é uma planta com ampla disponibilidade territorial no estado da Bahia, tendo os seus metabólitos secundários já classificados na literatura, com potencial atividade bactericida. O presente estudo objetivou investigar as propriedades antibacterianas do S. cumini contra o S. aureus, por meio do extrato etílico e submetido ao teste de antibiograma, tendo o halo de inibição do ciprofloxacino uma referência tocante ao tamanho de sua inibição, como sendo um grupo controle. Promoveu-se a extração de metabólitos secundários por meio do extrato bruto macerado alcoólico, em que posteriormente foi testado em uma mostra ATCC de S. aureus por meio do antibiograma. Ocorrido a extração, foi obtido o rendimento do material final de 12,8%. Observou-se que o extrato propiciou a formação de halos de inibição significativos em concentrações de 100%, 95%, 90% e 80%, com diâmetros variando aproximadamente entre 12 mm a 15 mm, entre os grupos amostrais. Esses resultados sugerem a efetividade do extrato contra o S. aureus, ressaltando seu potencial antimicrobiano.

RESUMO
Os microplásticos (MPs) foram detectados em uma variedade de ecossistemas, incluindo os ambientes atmosféricos, aquáticos e terrestres, sendo encontrados também nos órgãos e sistemas dos organismos que habitam esses ambientes. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre os reais danos causados na saúde dos vertebrados, incluindo os humanos. Diante disso, o presente estudo investigou a presença de MPs no fígado de 54 peixes da espécie Cyphocharax voga do Rio dos Sinos, um rio urbano situado no sul da América do Sul. Explorou a relação entre a concentração de MPs e o fator de condição (Kn) dos peixes, revelando não haver associação significativa entre a concentração média de MPs por grama de tecido hepático e o fator de condição Kn. A análise destaca a complexidade das interações entre MPs e organismos aquáticos, enfatizando a necessidade de avaliações abrangentes dos riscos e impactos dos microplásticos em ecossistemas aquáticos.

Published: December 2024

Há alguns registros de artrópodes utilizando ninhos abandonados de vespas sociais (Vespidae: Polistinae), porém estes registros ainda são escassos, e novos dados são necessários para identificar ocupações e relações destes ocupantes com seus parasitas/parasitoides. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a ocupação de ninhos de vespas sociais abandonados por diferentes Hymenoptera e possíveis associações entre ocupantes e parasitas/parasitoides. Dez ninhos de vespas do gênero Polistes foram coletados por meio de busca ativa no campus Bambuí do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Minas Gerais, em área de Cerrado. Destes, cinco apresentaram emergência de outros Hymenoptera, pertencentes a quatro famílias distintas: Crabronidae (3 spp.): Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) aurifrons Shuckard, Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) nitidum Smith e Trypoxylon (Trypoxylon) marginatum Cameron; Vespidae (Eumeninae): Pachodynerus nasidens (Latreille); Chrysididae (Chrysidinae): Caenochrysis parvula (Fabricius); e Ichneumonidae: Photocryptus fumartus (Hancock). As associações registradas sugerem possíveis interações entre os ocupantes de ninhos abandonados, como Crabronidae e vespas solitárias construtoras de ninhos de lama, e possíveis parasitas e parasitoides: Chrysididae e Ichneumonidae, respectivamente.

Authors: Sardenberg Cecilia , Kubík Mano Maíra
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the research undertaken by the Nucleus of Interdisciplinary Studies on Women (NEIM), of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Brazil, involving faculty and graduate and undergraduate students as part of the Countering Backlash research programme. The study focused on three major issues: the termination and re-installation of the ‘Bolsa Família Program’, a conditional cash transfer to poor families during the pandemic; the rising number of cases of gender-based violence, both in the domestic sphere and the political arena; and the continuous attempts to block access to legal abortions. The study analyses the different ‘actors’ who have been involved either in pushing back against women’s rights or in acting to protect or advance them, looking at how the backlash manifested and the tactics and strategies used to counteract it.

Background: Adverse cutaneous drug reactions (ACDRs) affect 2-3% of hospitalized patients globally, wherein approximately 2% (1 in 1,000 cases) accounted for a severe form of cutaneous drug reactions. Out of all dermatologic diagnoses recorded by HIV patients, eight-point twenty-five percent of patients feature ACDRs, indicating that these patients are 100 times more inclined to develop unfortunate, severe reactions to anti-retroviral treatment. Therefore, there is an urgency in identifying the prevalence of ACDRs in HIV patients taking anti-retroviral treatment. Purpose: The aim of this study is to calculate the prevalence of anti-retroviral drug-induced ACDRs in HIV-positive patients in Central General Hospital, in the time period of January 2015 to December 2017. Methods: This study analyzed inpatient and outpatient medical records from January 2015 to December 2017 in the Dermatology and Venereology Department of dr. Sardjito Central General Hospital, which recorded ART-induced ACDRs manifestations. Result: This study revealed a prevalence of 0.095% of ACDRs as a result of ART administration, with 1.5% HIV-positive patients affected by ACDRs in response to ART medication. A m sex ratio of 2:1 with an average age of 30.4 ± 5.94 years old was found. The most predominant type of ACDR found in HIV-positive patients receiving ART was maculopapular rash (46.7%), while the most common type of drug within the ART regimen to cause such ACDR was Nevirapine (25.8%). Discussion: Nevirapine was the most common type of causative drug, for monotherapy (22.6%) and polytherapy (25.8%).

Background: Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease that often occurs in densely populated settings, especially among children, including those in boarding schools. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the risk factors for scabies infestation in boarding schools. Methods: This crosssectional analytic research was conducted at the Imam Syuhodo Modern Islamic Boarding School. This study consisted of four main steps: survey questionnaires, a pre-test, one-on-one doctor examination, and a brief discussion. The collected data was analyzed using the ChiSquare test and bivariate analysis. Additional multivariate analysis was performed to determine the most influential risk factors. Result: The total sample for the study was 490 students (242 males and 248 females). The overall prevalence of scabies in the boarding school was 16.12%. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between male sex, age (<14 years), history of itchiness, and sharing belongings. In the multivariate analysis, sex (OR 5.56, 95% CI 2.5911.93) and age (OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.23-3.56) turned out to be the most significant factor for scabies. Dermatology specific quality of life index assessment showed more severe negative effects on students with scabies (p<0.001). Discussion: Scabies prevalence was more common in younger males patients. The prevalence of male students was very disproportionate, which needs further attention when designing an intervention model. Students in boarding schools dealing with scabies have worse impacts on their daily lives, which could impede their academic progress.

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common inflammatory skin disorder among young adults. The use of over-the-counter (OTC) facial soap is a common practice for managing AV, but the impact of its frequency on acne severity remains unclear. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between the frequency of OTC facial soap usage and the severity of acne vulgaris among medical students at Sebelas Maret University. Methods: This observational analytical study utilized a cross-sectional approach and involved 57 medical students at Sebelas Maret University. The questionnaire focused on the frequency of OTC face wash usage among participants. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and Spearman-Pearson correlation methods. Result: There is a significant relationship (p = 0.089) between the frequency of OTC face wash usage and the risk of acne vulgaris, with a weak negative correlation (r = -0.226, p = 0.092). This study set a significance level of 0.1, higher than the conventional 0.05, which limits the generalizability of the results. This decision was made to balance the accuracy of the findings with the available resource constraints. Conclusion: There’s a significant correlation between OTC facial soap usage and acne risk in Sebelas Maret University medical students, with more frequent use linked to reduced acne severity.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) are common respiratory conditions affecting pediatric populations. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and clinical characteristics of AR and NAR in children. A retrospective study was conducted at Goztepe Professor Suleyman Yalcin City Hospital's Pediatric Allergy and Immunology outpatient clinic. Between August 2023 and August 2024, 327 patients under 18 were diagnosed with AR or NAR. Data were collected through computerized questionnaires completed by parents. Patients were classified into AR and NAR groups based on skin prick tests and specific IgE results. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0. Of the 327 patients, 31.5% were diagnosed with NAR and 68.5% with AR. No significant differences were found in age of diagnosis, gender distribution, or symptom onset age between groups. AR patients had more siblings and house residents (p=0.047, p=0.05, respectively). C-section births and indoor smoking were more prevalent in the AR group (p=0.018, p=0.031, respectively). Breastfeeding for over one year was more common in NAR patients (p=0.011). AR patients more frequently experienced symptom exacerbation during school time (p=0.029). Logistic regression analysis revealed that playing outside and paracetamol use before age 1 increased NAR risk (p=0.008, p=0.044, respectively), while eczema and recurrent wheezing after age 1 increased AR risk (p=0.025, p=0.018, respectively). This study identifies distinct risk factors and clinical characteristics for AR and NAR in pediatric patients, providing valuable insights for differential diagnosis and management strategies in clinical practice.
A theoretical review of contract cheating in master's and doctoral studies: Some global trends and perspectives
Authors: Mtshweni B.
Published: December 2024

The surge of contract cheating cases among postgraduate students enrolled for master’s and doctoral studies is a serious challenge to the academic integrity of higher education qualifications globally. Evidence suggests that there is a dearth of studies on contract cheating at master’s and doctoral levels of study. Most studies on contract cheating have focused primarily on undergraduate students. This article uses a theoretical review as a method of inquiry to examine the phenomenon of contract cheating among postgraduate students enrolled for master’s and doctoral studies. The article explores the practice of contract cheating among postgraduate students from a global perspective while making reference to research conducted in African institutions of higher learning. Further, the article uses the neutralisation theory to unravel the underlying factors that contribute to contract cheating in postgraduate studies. The ramifications of contract cheating for students and higher education institutions are interrogated. Additionally, the article provides a discussion on intervention strategies that institutions of higher learning could consider, using a multi-sectoral approach to curb contract cheating, promote and instil ethical scholarship in master’s and doctoral studies.
