Authors: Azatbek Т. , Baitenizov D. ,   M.Kozybaev North Kazakhstan University, Zhanbozova A. ,   Institute of Economics of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education
Published: September 2024

The article examines the current trends in the development of the e-commerce market in Kazakhstan using the example of the B2C segment. The growth of online retail trade in Kazakhstan has been exponential over the past 3-4 years, and the activity of entrepreneurs in this segment has led to the rapid formation of the necessary infrastructure aimed at meeting consumer demand. The purpose of the study conducted by the authors is to analyze the main subjects of the e-commerce market in the dynamics of their development and influence on the state of the market. The study of agents of this market conducted by the authors using general scientific methods allowed us to identify the main trends and patterns of change in the structure of online services provided, the sale of goods via the Internet, and the improvement of payment and delivery methods. In addition, the authors focused on assessing the competitiveness of the market and identified trends in its monopolization. Despite the highly competitive nature of the e-commerce market, market pioneers have advantages that give them the opportunity to have a strong influence on the market, contributing to the emergence of potential barriers to entry in certain market segments. The results obtained allowed the authors to determine promising directions for the development of the B2C segment of the e-commerce market in Kazakhstan.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of Chinese technological trade flows with Central Asian countries (CAC) with a revealed comparative advantage and the gravity model using two estimation techniques. The present study employs the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) on the data set from 2003 to 2018 panel dataset. Results from the Gravity model demonstrates that low-tech, medium-tech, and high-tech trade flows boost economic development in China and Central Asian nations, adversely affecting all technology trade flows in geographical distance. The research indicated that exchange rates showed a negative indication in bilateral trade, medium-tech trade, and high-tech trade. In contrast, the low technology trade showed a positive flow between China and Central Asia. Furthermore, the results reveal that openness to trade and membership of the WTO show a positive indication. The trade openness policy on both sides thus has a major beneficial effect on trade volumes. It proposed increased liberalization of trade policy and greater involvement in global commerce. In addition, Central Asia and export industries should take additional initiatives to enhance and diversify high-tech exports. A competitive international market provides perfect equality in reciprocal trade interactions.

Pilóta nélküli légi járművek látótávolságon belüli és azon túli üzemeltetésének kihívásai
Authors: Sándor Zsolt
Published: September 2024

Sokszor felmerül a kérdés, hogy a látótávolságon belüli üzemben (VLOS) végrehajtott művelet során mekkora lehet az UAV maximális eltávolodása a távpilótától. A válasz összetett, és nincs konkrét számérték hozzárendelve, ugyanis több tényező együttes figyelembevételével lehet ezt megállapítani. A sokszor említett 1 km-esökölszabály sajnos nem alkalmazható teljeskörűen, minden esetre. Bizonyos esetekben az 1 km jelenti az abszolút maximumot, de figyelembe kell venni, hogy akár már néhány 100 m-eseltávolodás esetén is kikerülhet a művelet a VLOS-ból, még akkor is, ha az UAV-ravaló rálátást tereptárgyak vagy egyéb tényezők nem akadályozzák.

Objectives Aging is one of the stages of the life cycle that is accompanied by sensory changes and bodily awareness. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of perceptual-motor exercises based on multi-sensory therapy on body image and sensory processing in elderly individuals with cognitive impairments. Methods & Materials The present study is a clinical trial with a pre-test-post-test design with an experimental and a control group, conducted in a double-blind manner. The samples were selected using the available sampling method and were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups (15 participants in each group). The interventions were performed individually for each participant in 8 treatment sessions, 2 days a week, for a duration of 1 month. The assessment tools included the multidimensional body-self relations questionnaire (MBSRQ) and the sensory profile questionnaire. Results The results showed that the perceptual-motor exercises based on multi-sensory therapy had a significant difference in all cases of the MBSRQ (except for body satisfaction and preoccupation with excess body) and the sensory profile questionnaire in both groups (P<0.05). Additionally, the analysis of covariance in both questionnaires and in both groups was calculated to be less than 0.05 and significant. Conclusion The findings of this study showed that perceptual-motor exercises based on multi-sensory methods can improve body image and enhance sensory processing skills in elderly individuals with cognitive impairments. Therefore, educating and repeating these exercises can greatly assist therapists and clients in achieving more beneficial results.

Objectives Most falls in the elderly occur due to physical and cognitive risk factors. This study aims to compare the effect of two types of mind-body exercises, yoga and square-stepping exercise (SSE), on memory, balance, and fear of falling in older women. Methods & Materials A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 20 elderly women with an age range of 60 to 70 years. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to yoga and Square-Stepping groups. Both groups did exercise for 12 weeks and participated in a pre-test and post-test. The Wechsler memory test, stork test, berg balance test, and international falls efficacy scale were used to measure memory quotient, static balance, dynamic balance, and fear of falling, respectively. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was conducted to analyze the data Results The mean scores of memory quotient in the two groups after exercises were significantly higher than before exercises (F(1, 18)=32.692, P<0.001, η2=0.645). The mean static balance time in the yoga group was significantly higher than in the SSE group (F(1, 18)=60.755, P<0.001, η2=0.771). Furthermore, the mean dynamic balance score in the SSE group was significantly higher than in the yoga group (F(1, 18)=7.714, P=0.012, η2=0.300). In addition, the mean square of fear of falling in the SSE group was significantly lower than in the yoga group (F(1, 18)=11.777, P=0.003, η2=0.396). Conclusion It seems that square stepping exercises can also be used as a simple exercise program to improve physical and cognitive functions in older women.

Published: September 2024

Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands (AHMSG) is an extremely rare non-neoplastic enlargement of minor salivary glands with uncertain pathogenesis. It is most commonly seen in males around 40–50 years of age. The most common sites are hard or soft palate. Clinically, the lesion presents as a sessile tumor-like nodule which mimics neoplasm with histological findings of benign hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucous glands. Herein, we report a very rare case of AHMSG in a 55-year-old male patient who presented with asymptomatic swelling over the floor of the mouth since 8 months.

In this case report, a 56-year-old male presented to our department of oral and maxillofacial surgery with a chief complaint of pain during mouth opening on the left joint region. The patient also complained of limited mouth opening and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. Arthrocentesis was performed under aseptic conditions. Clinical evaluation of the patients was done before the procedure, 1 week, 1 month, and 4 months postoperatively. Intensity of TMJ pain and maximal mouth opening were recorded at each follow-up visit. There was a significant improvement in mouth opening and a reduction in pain scores in the postoperative period. Arthrocentesis is a simple and safe procedure for patients with internal derangement with a closed lock for improving mouth opening and decreasing pain.
Unveiling the Unconventional: Exploring Atypical Manifestations of Scrub Typhus
Authors: Singh Karanjot , Singh Iqbal
Published: September 2024

Scrub typhus is a rickettsial illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is a common cause of undifferentiated febrile illness, especially in the Indian subcontinent, usually with multiorgan involvement, though central nervous involvement is rare. Here, we demonstrate a case of a young female who presented with fever, headache, vomiting, and seizures. Her examination was remarkable for generalized blanchable macular rash, opsoclonus–myoclonus along with neck rigidity and mild epigastric tenderness. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging brain was suggestive of leptomeningitis. She also had mild pancreatitis, transaminitis, thrombocytopenia, and transaminitis. Given the ongoing tropical fever burden in Northern India, further workup was done and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay anti-scrub typhus immunoglobulin M came as positive. Doxycycline along with supportive treatment was started, and all signs and symptoms improved gradually.
Erupting mandibular second molar concomitant with complex odontome and supernumerary tooth in a 13-year-old boy: A case report
Authors: Krishnan M Amrutha , Vidhya Vijayan M C , Sreejith V P , Puthalath Ushas , Jose Tom Jibin
Published: September 2024

Odontomas are the most frequent hamartomatous developmental abnormality. The condition frequently correlates with one or more unerupted teeth and is often detected through the failure of teeth to erupt at the expected time. Although most cases were discovered that were impacted within the jaw, there are scenarios where odontomas have erupted into the oral cavity. The majority of odontomas are asymptomatic; however, these anomalies can cause delayed eruption, impaction, or even result in the retention of primary teeth. Odontomas are atypical calcified aggregations of dental tissues such as enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum and originate from odontogenic epithelium thereby, classifying them as mixed odontogenic tumors. Literature suggests that their etiology can be local trauma, infection, or genetic mutations, yet the precise cause remains unknown. This case report presents a complex odontome and a supernumerary tooth associated with a partially erupted second molar in a 13-year-old patient with radiological manifestations and surgical management.

Published: September 2024

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a malignant bone and soft-tissue tumor derived from neuroectoderm. It occurs, mostly, in pediatric adolescentswith the histopathological features of invasiveness. The occurrence of ES of the kidney is rare, comprising only 1% of all renal tumorswhich are limited to case reports and small case series. Herein, we report a case of a 44-year-old male patient, presenting with the rightflank pain and hematuria. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a right midpolar exophytic renal mass with intraluminal right renalvein and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus without visceral metastasis suggesting the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (T3BN0M0).The patient underwent the right radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy. In view of the aggressiveness of the tumor, the patientreceived adjuvant chemotherapy (i.e., four cycles of vincristine, adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide alternating every 3 weeks with fourcycles of ifosphamide and etoposide). The patient had near-complete resolution of the tumor with no thrombus seen in the follow-upscan. We could not complete six cycles of chemotherapy which were planned initially due to recurrent cytopenias. Six months postchemotherapy,the patient is clinically and radiologically disease-free and is in close follow-up. We are reporting this case to highlightthe rarity of this entity and its challenging clinicopathological diagnosis when presenting as a renal tumor.

Published: September 2024

Syphilis is a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) that, during pregnancy, can cause miscarriages, fetal malformations, blindness, deafness, mental disabilities, and/or stillbirth. It is considered a key tool in evaluating the quality of prenatal care. This article aimed to outline the epidemiological profile of syphilis in pregnant women in the state of Amapá, Amazon, Brazil, between 2018 and 2022, using data from DATASUS. A total of 2,069 cases of syphilis in pregnant women were reported during the study period. There was an increase in the number of cases from 282 in 2018 to 364 in 2019. In 2020, likely due to the pandemic, the number of diagnoses decreased to 309. The year 2021 saw the highest number of cases, with a total of 594 reports, followed by 520 in 2022. Most patients were mixed-race women, had completed elementary education, and were between 20 and 39 years old. The most frequent clinical classification was primary syphilis, a period with a high likelihood of vertical transmission. Although most cases were reported in the city of Macapá, the state’s capital was the only capital in Brazil where the detection rate of syphilis in pregnant women was lower than the state average. Cases from islands in Pará, such as Afuá, Breves, and Chaves, were also reported, likely due to the proximity of these municipalities to health reference centers located in municipalities in Amapá. As a result, Amapá recorded a detection rate of syphilis in pregnant women of 36.24 in 2021 and 34.52 cases per 1,000 live births in 2022, ranking as the fourth highest in the country and the second highest in the northern region. In light of these findings, there is a need for strategies to prevent syphilis in susceptible populations, as well as for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of syphilis cases in pregnant women, thus avoiding the incidence of congenital syphilis and other complications, especially in rural areas.

Stoic Economics: A Theoretical Examination of a Shift in Consumer Philosophy towards Stoicism
Authors: Deeta Saravanan  , Karani Neal
Published: September 2024

Since the advent of modern economic thought, particularly within Behavioral Economics, consumer behavior has primarily been driven by psychological and utilitarian beliefs that prioritize self-interest and material accumulation. Now, as consumer mindfulness becomes a prevalent issue, we look to philosophy — rather than psychology — as a framework for consumer behavior. Stoicism, originating in Ancient Greece and Rome, has always been applied to individual well-being but has never been considered in the context of collective economic behavior, despite its basis aligning well with the basic economic problem of scarcity. We examine whether and to what extent virtue-based principles of Stoicism can shift economic activity, both for consumers and the economy at large. Through understanding of key tenets of stoicism, and translating these philosophical ideals to economic assumptions, we find that the stoic focus on long-term stability, rational decision-making, and the use of wealth for public good leads to deviations from the status quo of market activity.

Dyspnea management in patients with pneumonia and coronary artery disease: A case study
Authors: Saraswati Ni Putu Santhi Dewi , Pratiwi Sri Hartati , Sari Eka Afrima
Published: September 2024

Background: Cardiovascular disease, particularly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), is strongly linked to pneumonia. Patients suffering from both pneumonia and CAD frequently experience dyspnea as a symptom. Dyspnea, caused by both conditions, can significantly impact the patient's quality of life. Consequently, it is crucial to address and manage dyspnea in individuals with pneumonia and CAD.
Purpose: To provide a thorough overview of managing dyspnea in patients with pneumonia and CAD in public hospitals in West Java, Indonesia.
Method: Employing a case study methodology using a nursing care approach, encompassing nursing assessment, data analysis, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, evaluation, and documentation. The assessment indicated that the patient experienced shortness of breath, with a blood pressure of 145/86 mmHg, a respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute, a pulse rate of 95 beats per minute, and an oxygen saturation level of 88%. The patient received 5 liters per minute of oxygen via a nasal cannula, and their body temperature measured 36.4ºC.
Results: In this case study, dyspnea management involved positioning the patient, administering oxygen therapy in stages, and providing pharmacological treatments, including diuretics and antibiotics. Additional therapies included respiratory muscle training and effective cough exercises.

Authors:   University of Warsaw, Michałek Jan Jakub , Hagemejer Jan ,   University of Warsaw
Published: September 2024

The year 2024 marks 20 years since Poland joined the European Union. In this paper, the authors review the economic literature analysing the long-term economic effects of Poland’s membership in the EU. Their study is based on international and Polish literature referring mainly to partial and general equilibrium analyses. They show both the sectoral effects, as related to different EU policies, as well as the overall consequences of membership for the level of welfare of Polish society. The authors ﬁrst discuss the trade effects in the context of the removal of barriers to the movement of goods within the Single European Market. Next, the consequences of the inﬂow of funds from the EU budget which ﬁnance the country’s structural funds and the Common Agricultural Policy, which are of particular importance to the Polish economy are discussed. A review of the consequences of the inﬂow of foreign direct investment from EU countries to Poland and the effects of labour migration within the EU is then conducted. A review of the related welfare consequences by aggregating the effects of individual policies and making an overall assessment based on a synthetic control method is then summarised. The authors then refer to their estimations showing that, thanks to EU accession, Poland’s GDP per capita 15 years after accession was higher by almost 55% compared to the counterfactual scenario of non-accession.
Applying Negative Soft Power? Examining Hungary’s Digital Criticism of the European Union
Authors:   University of Pécs, Kacziba Péter
Published: September 2024

This study examines how Hungary’s criticism of the European Union (EU) is reﬂected in its digital diplomacy efforts. It proposes that systematic criticism of the bloc can be seen as a deliberate use of negative soft power, a tactic that involves portraying others in an unfavourable context. To address the research objective, the study examines the Twitter (now known as X) diplomacy of 40 Hungarian government ofﬁcials in 2021–2022 and identiﬁes EU-related content and criticism through a semi-automatic content analysis. The results show that while a few central government users systematically and explicitly criticise the EU, other actors balance condemnation with neutral and positive posts. The ﬁndings, therefore, indicate that Hungary’s systemic weakness limits the pure export of national discourses and forces soft power strategies to mix critical commentary with neutral and positive representation.
