A study to evaluate the change in management plan of chronic otitis media (mucosal) after cone beam computed tomography
Authors: Rajguru Renu , Nitin Shantha , Raghawan Dilip
Published: October 2022

: Imaging of temporal bone helps the Otologists in preoperative surgical planning in ear surgery. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has much higher spatial resolution and clarity as compared to conventional X-Ray and much lower radiation exposure as compared to HRCT Temporal Bones.

: To evaluate the change in management plan of Chronic Otitis Media (Mucosal) after CBCT. Also to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the CBCT findings by comparing with intra operative findings in the study participants.

We conducted an observational descriptive study in the ENT Department of an academic Tertiary care hospital from October 2017 to October 2019. We included 95 patients whose management plan before CBCT was compared with the plan after CBCT and the percentage of cases undergoing a change in the management after CBCT was determined. The correlation of CBCT findings and intra operative findings in terms of specificity and sensitivity was also statistically calculated.

: Subsequent to imaging, the management plan was changed in only 4 patients which was statistically non-significant. CBCT showed a 100% sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value to detect pneumatisation of the Mastoid, high jugular bulb and low-lying dura. The sensitivity to detect ossicular erosion was 98.9%.

: Thorough clinical examination is the most important factor in decision making in patients with Chronic Otitis Media (Mucosal) and management plan remains unchanged after imaging. Though thorough clinical examination remains the gold standard in making a management plan of patients with Chronic Otitis Media (Mucosal), CBCT with its available details and minimal radiation helped to minimise intraoperative inadvertent injuries which might result due to normal anatomic variations like low lying dura, forward lying sinus, contracted mastoid cavity etc.

Published: October 2022

En las últimas décadas, en la Argentina sucedieron hechos determinantes en el contexto político y social con respecto al aborto, que culminaron con la aprobación de la Ley de Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo (IVE) en diciembre de 2020. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar las principales barreras que enfrentaron las mujeres en el acceso al aborto legal en el sistema público de salud de dos jurisdicciones de Argentina, Rosario y Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, en los años 2019 y 2020. A partir de una adaptación del modelo de las tres demoras, se realizaron encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas a 117 mujeres. Las participantes reportaron dificultades para acceder a información sobre lugares y personas donde recurrir para acceder un aborto. La mayoría de las participantes respondió que las personas gestantes no cuentan con información sobre la legalidad del aborto. Si bien la mayoría reportó haber tenido una buena experiencia con los servicios de salud, también identificaron algunas barreras administrativas e institucionales.
Redefining marginality on Italian Apennines: an approach to reconsider the notion of basic needs in low density territories.
Authors: Vendemmia Bruna , Lanza Giovanni
Published: October 2022

The concept of basic needs and essential services evolves according to sociocultural parameters. Therefore, defining marginality based on the distance from a predefined set of services, institutionally considered essential for life, may lead to an unfocused representation of marginal and more fragile areas.
This work focuses on a territory located on the Apennine of the Province of Piacenza, northern Italy. These mountainous areas are characterized by significant shrinking processes, ageing population, low income and educational rate, unemployment, and by work/study-related mobility practices over long distances and at high speed, revealing low levels of attractivity and significant dependence on more dynamic areas of the region. Moreover, according to the National Italian Strategy for Inner Areas, they have been identified as inner areas because of the high distance from main services.
Starting from quantitative research based on availability, location, and accessibility to a set of services considered essential, the present work aims to reconsider and integrate this desk-based approach with an on-site qualitative survey, thanks to interviews with inhabitants and persons with special knowledge of the territory as well as participant observation.
The hypothesis is that, particularly in low density and peripheral areas, a mixed-methods research methodology that includes the accounts of populations and local stakeholders may help to extend the knowledge of their actual needs and their willingness to travel, thus reconsidering their accessibility to what they perceive as essential services and, consequently, redefining the notion of marginal and fragile territories.
Evaluation of Radionuclides Transfer Factors and Ingestion Dose from Plants Around Mining Sites in Adamawa State Nigeria
Authors: Yusuf Samson Dauda , Joseph Soja Reuben , Umar Ibrahim
Published: October 2022

Illegal mining activities has become rampant in Adamawa State Nigeria, contaminating the soil with radionuclides which can be transferred to the food crops farmed in the host communities. Ingestion of such plants could cause harmful effects. In this study, radionuclide transfer factor from soil to plants and internal exposure dose around mining sites in Adamawa State were evaluated. 30 (15 soil, 15 plant) samples were analyzed for activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K. The transfer factor from soil to plant was calculated and the ingestion dose was also calculated using the Integrated Module for Bioassay Analysis (IMBA). Result shows that the mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the soil are 106.32Bq/kg, 84.34Bq/kg and 466.14Bq/kg, while for plants are 98.42Bq/kg, 72.69Bq/kg and 274.07Bq/kg respectively. These values were above the world average by United Nations Scientific Community on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) 35Bq/kg, 30Bq/kg and 400Bq/kg except for 40K which was lower in plant samples. Mean transfer factors were 0.942, 0.919 and 1.149 respectively, corresponding to a mean ingestion dose of 1.02E-01mSv/y, indicating high transfer factor in all the mining sites and high ingestion doses. Even though the mean ingestion dose was low, ingestion of such plants may pose radiation risk to the host communities in a long time. Therefore, proper policy by regulatory authorities must be put in place to protect the host community and the public from high ingestion doses that accounts for internal radiation exposure especially mining sites A, B and C.
Generation Open to the World
Authors: Stepanjants M.T.
Published: October 2022

Although a lot has been written about the generation of the sixties and deeply meaningful, the realistic “canvas” of the phenomenon is not yet complete: not all figures are spelled out flawlessly, it is not always justified to bring some to the fore at the expense of others who are in the shadows, and therefore “darkened” to indistinguishability. The article talks about the role of those who indirectly influenced the development of philosophical Oriental studies in the USSR. For the Orientalists, who joined the staff of the Institute of Philosophy by the beginning of the 60s, the older sixties became the standard of moral height, demonstrating honesty, determination to resist and overcome lies in all its manifestations. Following their example, they embarked on the path of openness to the world, convincingly demonstrating the uniqueness and diversity of the spiritual world of the East in general, and its philosophical traditions.
My Philosophical Generation
Authors: Lektorsky V.A.
Published: October 2022

The article distinguishes between biological, socio-psychological, and philosophical generations. In the case of the latter, it is not just about the age of those who make philosophy, but about the emergence of a new philosophical problem and a new attitude to philosophy itself, an understanding of its cultural role, what is called the “philosophical way of life”. The article examines the dramatic history of the life and work of a generation of people who began to determine the philosophical life of the country since the late 1950s. The author analyzes the results of the activities of this generation and substantiates the thesis that under the sign of this generation, domestic philosophy developed throughout the second half of the 20th century, and that the representatives of this generation have significantly influenced the philosophical life of our country already during the past two decades of the 21st century. The modern significance of the ideas put forward by the representatives of this generation is shown.

Boost DC-DC Converter with Switched-Capacitor and Four-State Switching Cell
Authors: Dias Julio Cesar , Lazzarin Telles Brunelli
Published: October 2022

The integration of switched-capacitor voltage multiplier cells in basic converter topologies has been studied to provide voltage gain and voltage stress reduction. However, SC cells do not provide current sharing and additionally they induce high current spikes in the devices, which are limitations of these structures to operate in high power levels. The main contribution of this paper is to overcome this drawback proposing the use of a multistate switching-cell for current sharing in SC-based boost converters, which reduces the current stress in the power devices and increases the power levels of this family of converters. The proposed concept can be generalized for m number of SC cells and n number of switching cells to increase the voltage gain and current levels. Furthermore, it can be applied to other basic structures. The theoretical analysis of the proposed structure was evaluated experimentally in a 3 kW boost-type dc-dc converter, achieving 200 V to 1200 V voltage gain, and reaching 98.4% of maximum efficiency.

Authors: Singh Kartar , Sharma Pratishtha , Gaur Ashok , Parihar Hukma Ram
Published: October 2022

Background: Gastro-intestinal parasitism is an important worldwide animal ailment causing heavy production losses in grazing animals and it is more prevalent in developing countries like India, mainly due to warm temperature in association with poor management practices and inadequate control measures. It can affect production through weight loss, diarrhoea, anaemia, reduction in milk and wool production, reproduction changes and mortality in case of heavy infestations. The current study was planned to evaluate the in vivo anthelmintic activity of extracts of Carica papaya seeds in naturally-infested goats. Methods: Twenty-four helminth-infested goats of either sex were randomly divided into four treatment groups (T1-T4); each having six goats and T1 served as untreated control while T2 received a single dose of albendazole @ 7.5 mg/kg body weight on day zero. Group T3 and T4 were respectively treated with aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Carica papaya seeds @ 100 mg/kg body weight orally daily for 30 days. Faecal egg count, haematological estimations and biochemical estimations were conducted on the zero, 10th, 20th and 30th day of the experiment. Result: Group T2, T3 and T4, showed a significant reduction in EPG count following treatment. All treated animals showed a significant increase in Hb, TEC, PCV and lymphocytes and a significant decrease in TLC, neutrophil and eosinophil levels on the 20th and 30th days of the experiment. The results indicated possession of good anthelmintic activity by both extracts with better results from the alcoholic extract of Carica papaya seeds. These herbal extracts can be a safe and therapeutically efficacious alternative to standard chemical drugs.

Background: Sheep is one of the small ruminant types widely distributed and popular in Indonesia, especially on Java Island. This study aimed to characterize male Indonesian local sheep breeds on Java Island based on their qualitative morphological traits. Methods: This study identified twenty-nine qualitative morphological characteristics in 627 head sheep consisting of Priangan, Garut, Batur, Wonosobo, Javanese Thin Tailed (JTT), Javanese Fat-Tailed (JFT) and Sapudi sheep. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Chi-square analysis (X2), multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 and NTSYS-pc version 2.11. Result: All the qualitative morphological traits variables were significantly different (P less than 0.01) between the seven sheep breeds. Seven sheep breeds could be categorized into three groups: 1) JFT and Sapudi sheep; 2) JTT, Priangan and Garut sheep; and 3) Batur and Wonosobo sheep. The Garut and Batur sheep have the most distant relationship (26.781). The JFT and Sapudi sheep have the closest relationship (1.345), as well as between Batur and Wonosobo sheep (10.064) and between Priangan and JTT sheep (2.453). Garut sheep have the most distant relationship with other sheep breeds, except with Priangan (4.259) and JTT (8.157) sheep. It was concluded that male Indonesian local sheep breeds on Java Island could be characterized using qualitative morphological traits.

Lentes de contacto en ectasias
Authors: Ortega Pacific Ernesto
Published: October 2022

Las ectasias son córneas irregulares primarias. La adaptación de lentes de contacto para pacientes con este tipo de dolencia pertenece a las adaptaciones especiales. Especiales no precisamente por el diseño de los lentes, muchos pacientes con ectasias pueden corregirse con los mismos diseños que se utilizan para la gran mayoría de los demás pacientes. Lo especial radica en la manera en que debe evaluarse al paciente. Las adaptaciones son comúnmente más complejas por tener córneas irregulares y debe disponerse de un buen número de lentes de prueba con diferentes diseños. Por lo mismo, el tiempo que ha de dedicarse a cada paciente es mayor que el de las adaptaciones convencionales. Se requiere conocer el perfil corneal, de manera cualitativa y cuantitativa, y por lo mismo es necesario apoyarse en topografía corneal convencional o Plácido, o de elevación o tomografía corneal.
Visión de profundidad
Authors: Rojas Yepes Jairo Giovanni
Published: October 2022

El término visión de profundidad sitúa al lector en un contexto que hace referencia a la percepción de diferentes representaciones visuales, denominadas inuigcnee, dentro de un campo espacial (campo visual), lo que da origen a lo que se denomina el mundo visual. Para que se pueda hablar de profundidad, el sistema visual debe considerar que existen diferencias espaciales, de ubicación o de posición entre el observador y el objeto observado, o entre los elementos del entorno. Esta percepción se puede dar en ausencia de movimiento (estática) y cuando el observador o un objeto cambian de posición en el espacio. La visión de profundidad tiene un momento de aparición y un proceso de desarrollo mediado por la fisiología del sistema visual, el cual varía con el paso de los años y en presencia de alteraciones visuales y oculares que pueden llevar a trastornos de la profundidad. Clínicamente puede ser evaluada (cualitativa o cuantitativamente) mediante pruebas que varían según la edad del paciente o el objetivo de la valoración; por tanto, es importante saber seleccionar dentro del gran número de test disponibles el adecuado, lo cual se logra con base en revisiones temáticas o bibliográficas, o reportes de investigaciones clínicas. Para ello, al finalizar el libro, se describen algunos indicadores estadísticos a tener en cuenta en las lecturas para identificar elementos relevantes en la selección y aplicación de pruebas clínicas.

Published: October 2022

El sistema inmunológico es un mecanismo de defensa altamente exquisito, basado en el reconocimiento de los antígenos (Ag) extraño y propio. Para el estudio de la respuesta inmunológica hay que considerar la interacción celular, desde sus eventos moleculares, el contacto célula-célula a través de receptor-ligando, la producción de moléculas in situ que permiten la comunicación entre el sistema inmunológico, el tejido y todo el organismo. El entendimiento de todos estos mecanismos es necesario para la interpretación de las manifestaciones clínicas y las consideraciones terapéuticas en las diversas patologías a nivel local y sistémico.
ICT and Tax Administration in Sub-Saharan Africa: Adopting ITAS in Uganda and Sierra Leone
Authors: Occhiali Giovanni , Akol Doris , Kargbo Philip M.
Published: October 2022

The adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the public sector, including for tax administration, has been hailed as potentially transformational over the last few decades. Its impact has been less far-reaching than imagined. A literature examining the determinants of – and obstacles to – ICT adoption arose as a result, almost exclusively focusing on the experience of high-income countries. However, understanding the experience of adoption in low-income countries is equally important, especially given the potential role that ICTs can play in tackling various development issues, including increasing mobilisation of domestic revenue. To help fill this gap, we present two in-depth case studies of the process of adopting an integrated tax administration system (ITAS) in Uganda and Sierra Leone, based on a series of semi-structured interviews with members of the respective revenue authorities and ministries of finance. Our analysis shows that many of the factors that facilitate and impede the adoption process are the same as those identified in high-income countries. However, we also identify some factors that are more likely to be relevant for low-income countries. These include the impact of the timeline for disbursing donor funding, the processes donors require to be used for procurement, and the quality of legacy data to be migrated into the new system. The need to embark on change management and re-engineering business processes was also recognised more fully than might have been expected in countries with relatively little prior experience in e-government services.
Private Sector Investment in the Clean Energy Sector in the Pacific Islands
Authors: Price Roz
Published: October 2022

Most Pacific small island developing states (SIDS) have ambitious renewable energy targets which call for huge investment, a significant part of which is expected to come from the private sector (IFC, 2021). Although there are around 40 renewable energy projects across the Pacific SIDS either already operating, under construction, or planned for commissioning in the next decade, they are still heavily reliant on imported fuel. Given the huge funding gap in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate objectives in developing countries, private financing has been advocated for as the solution for the shortfall, as it has a large pool of capital available and catalytic properties that could effectively scale-up the “reach” and the scope of influence of public financing (Samuwai, 2021). Private sector partners are particularly critical to supporting SIDS as they often struggle to access international capital markets due to their high debt levels, lack of creditworthiness or small market size (UN-OHRLLS, 2022). However, there is still a general lack of private sector financing in the renewable energy sector in the Pacific SIDS (PIFS, 2018; Samuwai, 2021). Whether private finance mobilisation for clean energy is realistic at the scales needed in the Pacific SIDS is not answered clearly in the literature, although much of it is based on the assumption that there is no real alternative to private sector investment. This rapid review hence explores some of the key drivers, constraints and opportunities to the mobilisation and scale-up of this private sector investment.
The Advantages and Disadvantage of Double Taxation Agreements for Developing Countries
Authors: Boustati Alma
Published: October 2022

When a developing and a developed country sign Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs), its generally the case that the developing country is the one that forgoes some of its tax revenues (Braun & Fuentes, 2016). Nevertheless, developing countries enter these agreements on the assumption that this will have enough economic benefits to offset these losses (Neumayer, 2007). Besides alleviating the burden of double taxation, DTAs also have the added value of improving exchange of information, which helps combat tax evasion and avoidance (Barthel et al., 2009). One of the incentives for signing DTAs for developing countries is the increase in Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) (Neumayer, 2007). The evidence from the literature on the link between signing DTAs and increasing FDIs is very mixed, with some finding a positive impact and others finding no impact (Quak & Timmis, 2018). However, the literature points to some clear factors that drive the relationship between FDIs and DTAs. There are also studies that attempt to quantify the tax revenue loss of developing countries when they enter DTAs. All the studies find substantial negative loss, although most do not account for the potential benefit of increased FDIs (ActionAid, 2016; IMF, 2014; Janský & Šedivý, 2018; McGauran, 2013; Van de Poel, 2016). There are also other reasons for why developing countries may still commit to negotiate and enter DTAs even when the benefits are not guaranteed. This includes increasing diplomatic ties with the treaty partner and the incentive of receiving foreign aid (Braun and Zagler, 2017). The other is a prisoner’s dilemma situation. The two most prevalent DTA conventions are the OECD Model and the UN Model. The UN Model tends to be more advantageous for developing countries compared to the OECD Model (Eyitayo-Oyesode, 2020). There are many issues over which the UN Committee’s expert members from developed and developing countries disagree but developed country member are better at influencing decisions. Finally, the OECD Model is updated more frequently, resulting in the UN one being comparatively out of date (Hearson, 2015; Quak & Timmis, 2018). Generally, the literature on the impact of DTAs on developing countries’ economies is extensive. This is especially the case for the impact of DTAs on FDIs as well as on tax revenue loss. However, because of the complexity of these issues, many of the empirical studies inevitably suffer from methodological issues that make conclusive claims very difficult. Notably missing from the literature is the impact of DTAs on international trade.

NOCTURNAL MACROLEPIDOPTERA ASSOCIATED TO CORK OAK WOODLANDS AND NEIGHBOUR FOREST REMNANTS IN A FRAGMENTED MEDITERRANEAN LANDSCAPE (LEPIDOPTERA)
Authors: SCALERCIO STEFANO
Published: October 2022

Composition and diversity of forest macromoth communities strongly depend on the tree cover and they are very sensitive to environmental changes in terms of species composition and their relative abundance. Very few studies concerning the composition of forest Lepidoptera have been carried out on thermophilous oaks, one of the forest types most intensively exploited by humans for timber and other forest products. In this paper we analysed a georeferenced dataset of macromoths collected in an oak-dominated landscape of southern Italy in order to describe moth communities and their functional relationships with forest cover. We found that moth communities inhabiting cork oak and riparian woodlots are the most functionally linked to the tree cover, mainly because of less fragmentation than other investigated forest types. Eupithecia dodoneata, Cyclophora puppillaria, and Catocala nymphagoga were the most abundant oak-feeders, the last two shared with other moth communities of thermophilous oaks sampled in Spain and Corsica. However, all of them were absent in studies carried out in Central Europe where more mesophilous oak woodlots were sampled and where some species found in Calabrian beech forests at high altitudes were abundant. Standardized studies are needed to clarify large-scale functional relationships between moth communities and a given forest type, allowing us to predict and mitigate the detrimental effects due to land use and climate change.

Published: October 2022

Abstract. We analyze certain aspects of the current system of education of children with special educational needs as one of the most important directions of Russian social policy. The Government of the Russian Federation takes a course for the further development of inclusive and special education, which provides an opportunity to implement an evolutionary approach in updating the special and inclusive education system. The spectrum expansion of childhood diseases is associated not only with the environmental situation in the world, but also with the socio-cultural component of the family: unhealthy family environment, child abuse, unfavorable living conditions, etc. Along with the measures taken by state and administrative bodies in special education, it is necessary to form an active position of parents in the process of inclusive practice, their understanding of its essence and purpose of the educational process as one of the main conditions for the effective development and socialization of children with disabilities. We present the experience of interaction between specialists of the Chechen State Pedagogical University with parents on the example of the Network Consulting Center for Comprehensive Support of families raising children, including with developmental anomalies “Parent University”. This experience can be used by other educational organizations of different levels – from early aid institutions to higher educational institutions. Educating parents on the basics of pedagogy, family education has a beneficial effect not only on the abnormal child and their family, but it is also a starting point in the formation of a tolerant position of society.
Ijime: school bullying in Japan
Authors: Danilova Larisa N.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The issue of bullying among schoolchildren has national differences. In Japan, it is called “ijime” as a special kind of bullying, where bullies are victim’s classmates and friends and act so that the victim does not immediately understand. Among its forms, more than 60 % are insulting and mockery, the second place is use of physical force, the third is social isolation, which generally contradicts traditional norms of communication and therefore brings more moral suffering to Japanese schoolchildren than other forms. Ostracism and boycott cause their academic problems, absenteeism and suicidal behavior. The research aims to analyze the essence and features of ijime as a phenomenon of Japanese education and culture. This explains the use of the culturological approach, as well as methods of content analysis, statistics study, comparative pedagogical and historical methods, systematization. The main theoretical basis in the study is the works of Japanese scientists on philosophy, culturology, sociology, ethnic psychology, pedagogy and conflictology in Japanese and English. The article reveals specifics of interaction among Japanese schoolchildren, the dynamics of ijime development, its factors, assesses the current situation and the measures of the authorities and schools to prevent, identify and combat school bullying. In conclusion, ijime is meant as a phenomenon due to the collective type of the Japanese society, some peculiarities of social communication and national education in the country; with only schools’ efforts to solve the issue is impossible due to the institutional and traditional nature of ijime.
Emotional and aesthetic experience as a component of artistic activity among college students
Authors: Klimenko Alexandr V. , Beskrovnaya Olga V.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The formation of emotional and aesthetic experience of students in the process of artistic activity is important. We consider the educational environment in the arts college in the context of the implementation of the mechanisms of creative self-development of the individual. The tasks facing the teacher in the process of teaching students artistic activity are formulated. To consider the essence and structure of emotional and aesthetic experience we use theoretical research methods: analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, comparison, systematization, generalization. Emotional and aesthetic experience is a complex, multifaceted, multi-level, multi-functional integral education. The complexity lies in the multiplicity – in their diversity in the sense of belonging to different fields of knowledge, the multilevel – in the constant improvement of components, starting from a different initial level of formation. In this type of experience, the following structural components are special, psychological, pedagogical and organizational. We analyze each component in detail and its significance for the formation of the emotional and aesthetic experience of students. Teachers do not sufficiently have technologies that could contribute to the intensive desire of a college student for creative self-development, especially in terms of enriching the personal emotional and aesthetic experience of performing. The theoretical results obtained are of interest to the scientific and pedagogical community, practicing teachers, and students.

Abstract. We assess the level of readiness among pedagogical workers of a preschool educational institution for activities to preserve their own health and the health of the younger generation. In the process of theoretical analysis and synthesis of literary sources we define the concepts of health culture and professional competence of teachers, the causes and groups of factors influencing the ability of preschool educational institutions teachers to carry out training in the field of health protection. The efficiency and productivity of work on preserving and strengthening the health of children in an educational institution implies that the teacher is ready for activities in the field of health saving and the organization of an appropriate educational environment. The empirical part of the study made it possible to establish that the successful implementation of a teacher’s professional activity in the field of health preservation is inextricably linked with his value attitudes and orientations, as well as the content side of the personality’s orientation towards a healthy lifestyle. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the results obtained in the educational and pedagogical process of preschool institutions in order to increase the effectiveness of the valeological process of education, training and development of preschool children, as well as the development and implementation of methods for improving the professional health-saving competence of teachers.
Social and professional determinants of military profession as methodological guidelines for socio-professional responsibility development of a military specialist
Authors: Monahov Oleg N.
Published: October 2022

The development of the socio-professional responsibility among a military specialist is relevant due to the increasing threat of the use of military force in modern conditions and the innovative nature of the development of means and methods of armed struggle, expanding the destructive potential and scale of professional activity of a military specialist. The purpose of this study is to analyze the content and interrelation of the social and professional determinants of the military profession, to determine on the basis of the results of the analysis of methodological approaches to the development of socio-professional responsibility of a military specialist. The study proves that the unity of military and military professional activity, manifested in the military profession, allows us to consider social and professional responsibility as professionally important as a military specialist. Socio-professional responsibility is a personal new formation in the system of professionally important qualities of a military specialist, combining awareness and acceptance of socio-professional values, a high level of professional competence, readiness for socially-oriented responsible behavior in the military profession and achieving success in military labor. The methodological basis is highlighted, including value-acmeological, praxiological and situational approaches, ensuring the development of socio-professional responsibility of a military specialist. We consider the pedagogical patterns and principles that determine the organization and content of the development of socio-professional responsibility of a military specialist. A well-founded set of methodological approaches is characterized by interconnectedness and complementarity and is the most optimal for the development of socio-professional responsibility of a military specialist.
A társadalmi egyenlőtlenségek és az egészség összefüggései Magyarországon
Authors: Győri Ágnes
Published: October 2022

A szakirodalomban jól dokumentált, hogy a társadalmi-gazdasági státuszkülönbségek döntően meghatározzák a társadalom egészségi viszonyait: a kedvező társadalmi-gazdasági helyzet kedvező egészségi állapot elérését valószínűsíti, ugyanakkor az egészségi állapot szelekciós mechanizmusként befolyásolja az elért társadalmi pozíciót. A tanulmány egyik alapvető kérdése az, hogy a társadalmi pozíció milyen mértékben határozza meg az egyének egészségi állapotát ma Magyarországon, emellett vizsgálja az egészségi állapot társadalmi-gazdasági státuszt meghatározó szerepét is, továbbá azt, hogy ezek az összefüggések hogyan változnak az életciklus különböző szakaszaiban. A kutatási kérdések megválaszolásához a szerző a Központi Statisztikai Hivatal 2016. évi mikrocenzus-adatállományát használta. Vizsgálatának legfontosabb eredményei: 1. A társadalmi okozati összefüggés egyértelműen jelentősebb, mint az egészség szerinti szelekció. 2. A társadalmi-gazdasági státuszmutatók magyarázó ereje az egészségre a középső felnőttkorban a legerősebb a vagyoni helyzet kivételével. 3. A vagyoni helyzet időskorban befolyásolja leginkább az egészségi állapotot. 4. Az egészségi állapotnak időskorban van a legjelenősebb magyarázó ereje a társadalmi-gazdasági státuszra az egyéni életút korábbi szakaszaihoz képest. Az eredmények azt bizonyítják, hogy mind a társadalmi okozati összefüggés, mind az egészség szerinti szelekció hozzájárul az egészségegyenlőtlenségekhez, de az előbbi a domináns mechanizmus – függetlenül attól, hogyan történik a társadalmi-gazdasági pozíció mérése –, míg az egészség közvetlen magyarázó ereje a szocioökonómiai státuszra jóval gyengébb.
Az egészségi okból fakadóan korlátozottak társadalmi helyzete, egészségi állapota és hozzáférése az egészségügyi szolgáltatásokhoz az ELEF2019 tükrében

Jelen tanulmány – a szerzők egy korábbi, a fogyatékosság és korlátozottság hivatalos statisztikában alkalmazott mérési módszereit bemutató írásának (Földvári–Gárdos, 2021) folytatásaként – az Európai lakossági egészségfelmérés (ELEF) 2019-es hullámának adataira építve vizsgálja a korlátozottság főbb mutatóinak összefüggéseit. A mindennapi életben fennálló hosszú távú korlátozottság mérőeszköze alapján górcső alá veszi a súlyosan és a mérsékelten korlátozott lakosság jellemzőit. A leíró elemzésen túl szociodemográfiai változók, valamint egészségi állapotra és egészségi ellátásra vonatkozó változócsoportok esetében logisztikus regressziós modellek segítségével elemzi, hogy közülük melyek mutatnak kapcsolatot a korlátozottság egyes típusaival. Bár a súlyos korlátozottság kialakulása jelentős mértékben egyéni kockázat függvénye, gyakran jár együtt hátrányos társadalmi helyzettel, rossz egészségi állapottal és az egészségügyi szolgáltatások (különösen a kórházi ellátás) intenzívebb igénybevételével. Az egészségügyi szolgáltatásokhoz való hozzáférést a súlyosan korlátozottak esetében elsősorban a közlekedési nehézségek, illetve a gyógyszerkiváltáshoz és a mentálhigiénés ellátáshoz kapcsolódó anyagi okok akadályozzák a nem korlátozottakhoz viszonyítva. A mindennapi életében egészségi okból fakadóan mérsékelten korlátozott lakosság a vizsgált mutatók tekintetében a súlyosan korlátozottakhoz képest közelebb áll a nem korlátozott lakossághoz, még inkább a lakosság átlagához, ugyanakkor a társadalmi részvétel szempontjából ez a csoport is veszélyeztetettnek tekinthető.
A valószínűség és a kockázat tudományos és hétköznapi értelmezései
Authors: Dusek Tamás
Published: October 2022

A „valószínűség” és a „kockázat” kifejezésekhez a tudományos és a hétköznapi szóhasználat egyaránt többféle értelmet vagy jelentésárnyalatot társít, hasonlóan az olyan szavakhoz, mint például az „erő”, a „munka”, a „tömeg”, a „nyomás”, amelyeknek eredeti, hétköznapi jelentései, jelentésárnyalatai mellett szintén létezik egy, mérési eljárás révén pontosan definiált tudományos, fizikai értelme. A hétköznapi használat sokfélesége többnyire nem okoz gondot, mert a kontextus pontosíthatja a jelentést, vagy legfeljebb a hétköznapokban tetten érhető félreértésekhez vezet. A tudományos nyelvhasználatban azonban problémát okozhat, ha a hétköznapitól egyértelműen eltérően, de egyszerre több, egymástól is különböző jelentésben használnak párhuzamosan egy fogalmat. A mai napig ez jellemző a valószínűség és a kockázat értelmezéseire. A koncepciók a tudomány történelmi fejlődése során is változtak, illetve többszöri újradefiniálásuk miatt azonos időpontban is több értelemben használatosak. Szerencsésebb és kevésbé félrevezető lett volna, ha a véletlen tömegjelenségek vizsgálatával foglalkozó szakterület számára egy köznapi jelentéssel nem terhelt szakterminust vezetnek be. A fenti problémák miatt hasznos lehet az eltérő értelmezések áttekintése. Jelen rövid írás a történeti részletek, vitapontok és részletes hivatkozások mellőzésével a két fogalom tudományon belüli főbb megközelítéseit, valamint a jellemzőbb hétköznapi használatát mutatja be.

Authors: Palma Gato Sandra , Moral Jiménez María de la Villa
Published: October 2022

Antecedentes: Resulta complicado imaginar la sociedad contemporánea sin la repercusión de las nuevas tecnologías en múltiples aspectos de la vida cotidiana. El propio movimiento feminista se ve afectado por su empleo como vía de difusión, de modo que evoluciona y se adapta a las nuevas tecnologías, surgiendo así el movimiento ciberfeminista. Objetivos: En el presente trabajo de revisión teórica se pretende ahondar en el estudio del movimiento ciberfeminista, conocer su repercusión, los medios utilizados para conseguir sus metas y la problemática de la ciberviolencia, así como estudiar la repercusión del movimiento en España.Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos desvelan que las nuevas tecnologías suponen una herramientaimportante para la lucha del movimiento ciberfeminista. Por otro lado, Internet es fuente de desigualdades ya que, a través de este es más fácil perpetrar la ciberviolencia. Conclusiones: A pesar del poder informativo de las nuevas tecnologías en la difusión del movimiento feminista, deben seguir promoviéndose cambios a nivel institucional y sociocomunitario en materia de igualdad de género.

Gender and language studies
Authors: Gandarillas Marc
Published: October 2022

In the present paper we analyze how divergence in language use across genders has received increasing scholarly attention since the late 1960s and –especially– early 1970s. While early research on the field is of-tentimes based on researcher introspection (Lakoff 1973), at this time we already find certain scholars that ap-proach the matter from a purely empirical perspective (Labov 1966). Since the very early precursors of gen-der and language studies, such preliminary analyses were pivotal in paving the path to more methodological-ly complex insights into the gender-language relationship (Nichols 1978, Trudgill 1988, Goodwin 1988). In more recent years, gender has started to be regarded as a complex dynamic social construction, which has prompted the use of more refined methodologies based upon the idea that stylisticvariation occurring within every speaker’s vernacular is not random but rather systematic.
