ЖЕНЩИНЫ И МУЖЧИНЫ В ИРЛАНДСКОЙ ГОРОДСКОЙ ПОЛИТИКЕ: КОНСТРУИРОВАНИЕ ГЕНДЕРНОГО ДИСПЛЕЯ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ МЭРОВ ДУБЛИНА В 2020-2025 гг.)
Authors: Вершинина Дарья Борисовна
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена анализу того, как пол политика влияет на его активность в социальных сетях в условиях персонализации городской политики. В качестве примера анализируется активность лорд-мэров Дублина в 2020-2025 гг. Выявляются различия в тематике постов, которые выбирают для обсуждения женщины и мужчины, занимающие высокие политические посты. Проверяется гипотеза исследователей о том, что женщины-мэры чаще акцентируют внимание на «женских» вопросах, таких как образование, здоровье и окружающая среда, в то время как мужчины-мэры больше ориентированы на традиционно «мужские» темы, например, экономику и бизнес. В статье сравниваются траектории политической карьеры мэров Дублина мужского и женского пола, их активность в социальных сетях. Делается вывод о том, что женщины-мэры Дублина в большей степени используют социальные сети как для взаимодействия с избирателями, так и для выражения собственной позиции по тем или иным политическим вопросам, в то время как дублинские мэры мужского пола демонстрируют представительский характер в должности главы ирландской столицы.

The article analyzes how a politician's gender influences his or her activities on social networks in the context of personalization of urban politics. Using the activities of Dublin Lord Mayors in 2020-2025 as an example, the author reveals the differences in the topics discussed by women and men in high political positions. The researchers' hypothesis that female mayors focus more on «women's» issues, such as education, health, and the environment, while male mayors focus on traditional «male» topics, such as economics and business, is tested. The study compares the political careers and social media activities of male and female mayors in Dublin. The author concludes that female mayors of Dublin use social media to a greater extent both to interact with voters and to express their own views on political issues, while male Dublin mayors demonstrate the representative nature of their position as the head of the Irish capital.
ГЕНДЕРНЫЙ ДИСПЛЕЙ ЖЕНЩИН-МЭРОВ ГЕРМАНИИ: ФРАНЦИСКА ГИФФАЙ И ГЕНРИЕТТА РЕКЕР
Authors: Бурмистрова Екатерина Сергеевна
Published: December 2024

Cтатья посвящена гендерному дисплею Франциски Гиффай (бывшего мэра Берлина) и Генриетты Рекер (мэра Кельна). С опорой на концепцию гендерного дисплея, предложенную социологом И. Гофманом, в статье анализируется, как эти женщины используют или преуменьшают значение гендера в своих публичных имиджах и визуальных образах. Используя визуальные медиаданные из их публичных выступлений и аккаунтов в социальных сетях, статья подчеркивает влияние гендерных нарративов в формировании их политического имиджа. Результаты исследования показывают, что хотя Гиффай и Рекер используют гендерный дисплей таким образом, чтобы усилить свои лидерские роли, они делают это с помощью контрастных подходов. Гиффай сочетает профессионализм с ярко выраженным женским стилем, в то время как Рекер делает акцент на практичности и более сдержанной подаче. Несмотря на различия в политических стратегиях, обе женщины демонстрируют сложную роль гендера в формировании восприятия избирателей, представлений в СМИ и успеха в местной политике Германии.

The article is devoted to the gender display of Franziska Giffey (former mayor of Berlin) and Henriette Reker (mayor of Cologne). Drawing on the concept of gender display proposed by sociologist E. Goffman, the article analyzes how these women use or downplay gender in their public images and visual representations. Using visual media data from their public speeches and social media accounts, the article emphasizes the influence of gender narratives in shaping their political image. The findings show that although Giffey and Reker utilize gender display in a way that reinforces their leadership roles, they do so through contrasting approaches. Giffey combines professionalism with a distinctly feminine style, while Reker emphasizes practicality and a more restrained presentation. Despite their different political strategies, both women demonstrate the complex role of gender in shaping voter perceptions, media representations, and success in local German politics.
АМЕРИКАНСКИЕ КОНСЕРВАТОРЫ И АЛЬТЕРНАТИВНАЯ МОДЕЛЬ «ГОСУДАРСТВА ВСЕОБЩЕГО БЛАГОСОСТОЯНИЯ»
Authors: Золотых Владимир Рудольфович
Published: December 2024

Изучение американского консервативного движения в послевоенный период позволяет прийти к выводу, что успех Правых в США в конце ХХ - начале ХХI вв. во многом был определен изменением в подходах к актуальным социальным проблемам. В 1970-е гг. был взят курс на формирование общей для всех консерваторов социально-политической программы, воплотившейся в известном документе - «Контракт с Америкой» 1994 г. Это было бы невозможно без существенных изменений в политической стратегии. Главным компонентом нового подхода консерваторов к социальным проблемам стал альтернативный либеральному видению вариант «государства всеобщего благоденствия». В основу системы государственного вспомоществования предлагалось заложить консервативные принципы, которые, по мнению Правых, более соответствовали вызовам времени. Своего рода подтверждением правильности данного подхода стало то, что администрация Клинтона вынуждена была с ним считаться и даже взять некоторые элементы на вооружение. Тем самым, консервативное движение доказало свою способность адаптироваться к меняющейся реальности на базе своих собственных принципов. Многообразие и противоречивость подходов со стороны различных течений в консервативном движении к социальным вопросам привело к формированию и выстраиванию системы приоритетов. На первое место в консервативной модели «государства всеобщего благоденствия» были выдвинуты те элементы, которые могли послужить факторами сплочения.

Analysis of the processes that took place in the conservative movement in the post-war period allows one to state that the victory of the conservatives in 2000 became possible largely due to the constructive evolution of conservative approaches to social issues and the formation of a relatively unified conservative social program (the “Contract with America”) and a political strategy in the middle and second half of the 1990s. A key element of the social and political strategy of the conservatives was the alternative model of the “welfare state” that they developed. Its peculiarity was that it proposed to build a social welfare system based on conservative principles that corresponded with the dictates of the times. In many respects, this explains why the Clinton administration had to participate in its implementation. Thus, the conservative movement proved its ability to adapt to a changing reality based on its own principles. Given the diversity and inconsistency of the positions within the conservative camp, leaders of the American Right highlighted the elements of the strategy that could serve as cohesion factors. Along with the conservative view on government assistance, they focused on the traditional conservative values that were most closely associated with a complex of social and cultural issues.

Authors: Tacca-Quinteros Paola M. , Tantaleán-Gutiérrez Lily V. , Yovera-Aldana Marlon
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: estimar la exactitud pronóstica para amputación de miembro inferior de las escalas de pie diabético utilizadas en estudios realizados en América Latina y el Caribe. Materiales y métodos: se incluyó a estudios longitudinales sin restricción de idioma provenientes de Scielo, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science (WOS) y SCOPUS, hasta octubre de 2024. Los estudios registraron la incidencia de amputación mayor o a cualquier nivel según la aplicación de una escala de pie diabético al inicio de la atención médica. Mediante un metaanálisis se estimó la sensibilidad, especificidad, razón de verosimilitud (LR, del inglés likelihood ratio) positiva (LR+) y negativa (LR-), odds ratio diagnóstico y el área bajo la curva ROC. El riesgo de sesgo fue evaluado utilizando la herramienta QUADAS-2 y la certeza de la evidencia se analizó según GRADE. Resultados: se incluyeron a 15 artículos y se identificaron cinco escalas: IDSA, San Elián, Wifi, Meggitt-Wagner (con umbrales 3 y 4) y Universidad de Texas, provenientes de nueve países. Para amputación a cualquier nivel, la clasificación que mostró la mayor sensibilidad para ambos desenlaces fue la escala Meggitt-Wagner en el umbral de grado 3 con valores de 0,91. La escala San Elián presentó la mayor especificidad con un valor de 0,92. El LR+ más significativo correspondió a San Elián con un valor de 4,1, mientras que el LR- de mayor impacto fue el de Meggitt-Wagner en categoría 3 con un valor de 0,20. Las 15 evaluaciones GRADE revelaron una certeza de evidencia muy baja. Conclusión: la escala Merritt-Wagner en el umbral de grado 3 y la escala San Elián demostraron la mayor sensibilidad y especificidad, respectivamente. Sin embargo, nuestra investigación muestra importantes limitaciones, como déficits en el reporte de seguimiento, elevada heterogeneidad y número limitado de estudios, lo que explica la muy baja certeza de la evidencia. Se requiere la realización de estudios con un mayor rigor metodológico en nuestra región.

Islamic Education and Sharia Economy in Developing Pesantren Business Entities: A Case Study of BUMPes Nurul Jadid
Authors: Afif Ahmad
Published: December 2024

This research aims to explore the relationship between Islamic education and the sharia economy in the development of the Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School Business Entity (BUMPes) in Paiton, Probolinggo. Despite numerous studies on the pesantren's economic role, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of how Islamic education directly impacts the management and sustainability of BUMPes. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with BUMPes managers, involved students, and teachers at the pesantren. We also obtained data by directly observing the business activities conducted by BUMPes. The research findings indicate that Islamic education provides a strong foundation for BUMPes managers in applying sharia economic principles, such as justice and transparency in transactions. Additionally, the students involved in BUMPes experience an increase in managerial skills and understanding of sharia financial management. This research also identifies the challenges faced in the implementation of Sharia economic principles, including the lack of resources and external support. Thus, this research emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic education and sharia economics to support business development in the pesantren environment. We expect the results of this research to aid in the development of the educational curriculum in pesantren and offer valuable insights for policymakers to support sharia-based micro-enterprises.

Authors: GULIYEV Maqsud
Published: December 2024

Türkiye is one of the most energy-dependent countries, and its energy market is heavily reliant on imported energy sources such as oil, natural gas, coal. The relevancy of this research keeps up with the modern world’s number one challenge, green energy transition, in one country’s example in terms of costs and carbon emissions. For the purpose of the work, the country’s theoretical transition from fossil fuels mainly, coal and natural gas to wind and solar energy in electricity production has been analysed, and the required average transition cost has been determined. To delve into a comprehensive investigation, firstly, the secondary data was employed on energy production and greenhouse gas emissions (as well as carbon emissions), and data showed coal and natural gas were in leading positions in generating electricity. The country’s natural gas import by country through statistical data was touched. In this research, hypothetical calculation, correlation, regression, statistical, and comparative analysis methods were borrowed. With the help of the Pearson and Spearman correlation, the relationship between population growth and electricity generation was investigated. Via regression analysis, the potential effect of population growth on electricity produc tion was determined. Additionally, the impact of electricity generation on population growth was also explored. The practical value, as well as the scientific novelty of this study, is that it provides a hypothetical transition road for other researchers to calculate world countries’ transition expenses.

Determination of the optimal values of the parameters of a three-chain farm using a method of nonlinear mathematical programming
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Gvasalia Badri , Kvachadze Tamar ,   Georgian Technical University
Published: December 2024

The work considers the possibility of using the method of non-linear mathematical programming to
calculate the optimal, according to the criterion of weight, the values of the parameters of a symmetrical three-tire
farm. The proposed method allows you to choose the area of the transverse sections of the farm rods so that their
weight would be minimal, with given loads and restrictions imposed on the area of the rods.
The work also considers the effect of changing the angle of inclination of the edge rods to the abscissa axis on the
structure and values of the optimal parameters of the farm. To find the global minimum of target functions, a random
search method is used. A set of programs for finding numerical values of the optimal parameters of the farms has also
been developed.
On the summability Legendre series by Abel method
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Eliashvili Ani , Macharashvili Nodar ,   Georgian Technical University
Published: December 2024

Abel’s method is one of the well-known among linear methods of summability of series. Abel's method
of summability for trigonometric Fourier series was first applied by Poisson, so this method is sometimes called the
Abel- Poisson method. Subsequently, Fatou considered the summability of the series obtained by differentiating the
Fourier trigonometric series. Gobson studied the summability of the Legendre series by Abel's method. In particular,
he showed that if the function is continuous at a point, its Legendre series would be summability by Abel's method
to the value of the function at this point, and in the case of discontinuity of the first kind at the point, to the
arithmetic mean of the right and left limits of the function. Gobson also studied the conditions of uniform
summability of Legendre's series by Abel's method.
In this paper, the issue of almost everywhere summability of Legendre's series by Abel's method is considered. In
particular, the so-called points D are determined and it is shown that at each point D the Legendre series is
summability by Abel's method.
In the paper summability of Legendre's derived series by Abel's methods is studed. The form of the Abelian mean
of the derived series, some of its properties, and the sufficient condition for the existence of the limit of the derivative
of the Abel mean have been determined.

Published: December 2024

In this article, we will review the pivotal
stages of the formation and evolution of the United States
of America as the epitome of modern civilization, often
called as “New Rome”. Our examination will be targeted
solely at analyzing American literature, as fiction represents one of the most important and reliable indicators of
any culture.
We believe that fiction possesses the ability to notice,
capture, and mirror the characteristic nuances of an era,
often overlooked by “the Great History”.
American literature is a very organic continuation of
great European literature. And yet, it is self-sufficient, like
American culture, the American way of life, and the value
system as a whole.
By exploring American literature and the masterpieces
of prominent American authors, we aim to comprehend a
distinctive world. The assertion that America, like other significant cultures (especially civilization) is inherently
messianic with a focus on the clear benevolent origins of
American “Messianism”.
However, the significant point today is that America’s
impact on the rest of the world is greater than ever which
is why it is so relevant to local trends .

The anterior cerebral artery is one of the terminal branches of the internal carotid artery. The part of the anterior cerebral artery before the origin of
anterior communicating artery is called the A1 segment (pre-communicating / Horizontal segment). A1 segment hypoplasia, as a non-competent
part of the circle of Willis, is regarded as a predisposing factor in hemispheric low-flow infarcts in carotid occlusive disease. In our case series 42
cases i.e 10.5%, there was a unilateral hypoplastic or absent pre-communicating segment with contralateral ACA giving rise to both the postcommunicating segments.

Published: December 2024

Background: The present study assessed flupertine's effectiveness as a preemptive analgesic for managing postoperative pain following spine
surgery, which could aid in early neurological evaluation. Methods: Sixty-four patients of either sex undergoing spine surgery under general
anesthesia were randomly divided in to two groups. The patients in group I received flupertine 100 mg orally, 1 hour preoperatively and 12 hours
postoperatively and patients in group II received placebo at same time interval with sips of water. Anesthesia technique was identical in both
groups. The patients in both the groups were given fentanyl as a postoperative analgesic via a patient-controlled analgesia pump. Primary outcome
was postoperative pain assessment at different time intervals by using a visual analogue scale. Secondary outcome was severity of postoperative
nausea and vomiting. Results: The requirement of fentanyl and visual analogue score in the first 24 hours postoperative period was significantly
reduced in the group I (p<0.05). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting 0-24 h was significantly reduced in the group I compared to
the group II (p<0.05). Conclusion: Perioperative use of flupertine 100 mg every 12 hr in spine surgery reduces postoperative fentanyl requirement
and improves pain score, along with a reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hr period.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Inguinal hernia, a condition where intra-abdominal viscera protrude through the inguinal canal, is most common among hernias,
particularly in men. Various surgical techniques, including Shouldice's herniorrhaphy, Lichtenstein's open mesh hernioplasty, and laparoscopic
approaches, are used for repair. Laparoscopic methods, such as Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) and Total Extraperitoneal (TEP), have
gained popularity due to their reduced postoperative pain and recurrence rates. This study aims to c Aim: ompare the safety and postoperative
outcomes of laparoscopic TAPP and TEP repairs for inguinal hernia. A prospective comparative study w Materials And Methods: as conducted
with 124 male patients, aged 25-65 years, undergoing either TAPP or TEP repair. Immediate postoperative complications, hospital stay duration,
recurrence rates, and intraoperative time were compared between the two groups. The study's sample size was calculated using standard formulas,
and patients were followed up at 7 days, 30 days, and 6 months post-surgery. The study found no sign Conclusion: ificant difference in early and late
postoperative complications or hospital stay between TAPP and TEP. However, TEP was associated with shorter operative times. Both techniques
are effective and safe for inguinal hernia repair, with the choice of procedure potentially influenced by operative time and surgeon preference.
Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

Leiomyomas of urinary bladder are rare benign mesenchymal tumors with incidence of about 0.43% of all bladder tumors. Based on their location,
these tumors can be endovesical, extravesical, and intramural with the endovesical subtype being the most common. There are roughly 250 cases of
bladder leiomyoma reported till date. In the following case report, we discuss the rare case of a bladder leiomyoma in a elderly male patient
presenting with gross hematuria and managed with TURBT.

Published: December 2024

An ingrown toenail is a very common nail problem that usually progresses as the nail plate grows into the periungual skin and leads to inflammation
and infection. If left untreated, it can lead to discomfort and even progress to disability.[1] We experienced a strange case of ingrown toenail, which
had developed as a huge mass and enveloped the nail of the left first toe. The patient had self-treated his ingrown toenail for a period of one year with
an ointment available over the counter. However, the granulation tissue on both sides of the nail had increased gradually and advanced over the nail
plate in the medial direction. Finally, the granulation tissue on both sides had adhered to the nail and epithelial cells advanced over the granulation
tissue completely. During surgery, the epithelized granulation tissue was excised at the bilateral terminal base point, and the posterior nail fold and
the nail matrix were cauterized completely with phenol. Eighteen months after the operation there was no recurrence of the ingrown toenail.

Iodine is a mineral found in food which the body needs to make thyroid hormones. These hormones control the body's metabolism and many other
important functions. Getting enough iodine is important for everyone, especially infants and women who are pregnant. Iodine deficiency can lead
to a variety of health and developmental consequences known as iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). The research approach selected was true
experimental and the study was conducted at the village areas of Rohtas, Bihar. The total sample size was 150 (75 in study group and 75 in control
group). Samples were selected by the using computer generated random sampling technique. The data collection was done by door to door survey
method and the iodine level in salt was determined by iodometric test. The data analysis was performed by using descriptive and inferential
statistics. The study has proved that the air tight container is more effective than the traditional method for preserving iodine level of the household
salt.
INVESTIGATION OF DERMOSCOPIC PATTERNS IN PITYRIASIS VERSICOLOR LESIONS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Kothiwala Rahul Kumar , Awasthi Sankalp , Nijhawan Manisha
Published: December 2024

Background: Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is essentially a clinical diagnosis characterized by hypopigmented or hyperpigmented patches on the skin.
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation and Wood's lamp examination are traditional diagnostic tools used to confirm PV. Dermoscopy is gaining
popularity as a noninvasive procedure for diagnosing different pigmentary and inflammatory disorders. However, scarce evidence exists on the
dermoscopic patterns of PV. This study aims to evaluate the role of dermoscopy in improving the clin Objective: ical diagnosis of pityriasis
versicolor, analyze the demographic and clinical profiles of affected patients, include KOH and Wood's lamp findings with percentages for
confirmation of PV, identify any new dermoscopic findings, and assess how dermoscopy can differentiate PV from other hypopigmented lesions.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted over 18 months from January 2022 to June 2023 at the Department of
Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Forty-four patients clinically
diagnosed with pityriasis versicolor were included. Detailed history, clinical examination, KOH preparation, Wood's lamp examination, and
dermoscopic evaluation using a DermLite DL3N dermatoscope were performed. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.
Results: The study included 44 patients, predominantly young males aged 15 to 25 years (64%). Urban residents constituted 77% of cases. Most
lesions were hypopigmented (77%). KOH examination was positive in 91% of cases, and Wood's lamp examination showed fluorescence in 84%
of patients, confirming the diagnosis of PV before dermoscopic evaluation. Under dermoscopy, follicular scaling was observed in 90% of cases.
New dermoscopic findings such as perifollicular hypopigmentation and "moth-eaten" borders were identified. Dermoscopic patterns such as
follicular scaling, peripheral scaling, and perilesional hyperpigmentation were significantly associated with pityriasis versicolor (p  <  0.01).
Incorporation of dermoscopy improved diagnostic accuracy compared to clinical examination alone. Dermoscopy also aided in differentiating PV
from other hypopigmented lesions by highlighting specific dermoscopic criteria. Dermoscopy enhances t Conclusion: he diagnostic accuracy of
pityriasis versicolor by revealing characteristic patterns not easily visible to the naked eye. The identification of new dermoscopic features adds
valuable information and may help establish dermoscopy as an important auxiliary tool for the diagnosis of PV. Integrating dermoscopic evaluation
into routine practice is recommended for easy and accurate diagnosis.
