Published: October 2022

Let Singn denotes the semigroup of all singular self-maps of a finite set Xn={1,2, . . . , n}. A map α∈Singn is called a 3-path if there are i, j, k∈Xn such that iα=j,jα=k and xα=x for all x∈Xn\ {i, j}. In this paper, we described aprocedure to factorise each α∈Singn into a product of 3-paths. The length of each factorisation, that is the number of factors in eachfactorisation, is obtained to be equal to ⌈12(g(α)+m(α))⌉, where g(α) is known as the gravity of α and m(α) is a parameter introduced inthis work and referred to as the measure of α. Moreover, we showed that Singn⊆P[n−1], where P denotes the set of all 3-paths in Singn and P[k]=P∪P2∪ ··· ∪Pk.

Authors:   Universidad del Tolima, Marín Víctor , Pinedo Héctor ,   Universidad Industrial de Santander
Published: October 2022

We present some constructions of groupoids such as: direct product, semidirect product and give necessary and sufficient conditions for a groupoid to be embedded into a direct product of groupoids. Also, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions to determine when a semidirect product is direct. Finally the notion of solvable groupoid is introduced and studied, in particular it is shown that a finite groupoid G is solvable if and only if its isotropy groups are.

Skilled Labour and the Reduction Problem
Authors: Franklin Rodrigo Straessli Pinto , Borges Rodrigo Emmanuel Santana , Sánchez César , Montibeler Everlam Elias
Published: October 2022

Empirical estimates derived in line with the Marxist framework are essential to fully address several topics, from the dynamics of profit and exploitation rates to unequal exchange, crisis and strategies. Edward Ochoa presented and implemented a pioneering practical proposal to perform such strand of calculations from widely available input–output data. That leveraged method has become widespread in empirical studies. This article focuses on a controversial aspect of such a proposal: the reduction of skilled or complex to simple unskilled labour. After a critical dialogue from a theoretical point of view, this article provides estimate comparisons based on available data for the period 1995 to 2009, discusses alternative proposals and stresses their virtues and caveats, pointing to the strength of methods that don’t fully rely on wage indexes and to future paths of research needed.
MODERN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY REQUIRES TURNABOUT TO PLANNING
Authors: Dmitrievich Bodrunov Sergey
Published: October 2022

The article raises the issue of using the historical experience of planning initiated by the establishment of the State Planning Committee in Soviet Russia in 1921. Of course, literal borrowing of the Soviet directive planning model is out of the question. However, it has also been proved in actual practice that planning methods can be successfully applied in countries with market economies. These methods are especially efficient for ensuring accelerated development and deep structural transformations in the economy. Therefore, turnabout to using planning experience is not a step back to the past, but on the contrary, a step forward to ensuring deep transformations of the modern economy. Today’s economic development has been facing deep contradictions, first and foremost of which is the obvious gap between opportunities created by the latest technologies and increasing risks and threats to the development of human civilization. The traditional market model, especially in its neoliberal version, does not open up opportunities for resolving these contradictions and often even exacerbates them. Thus, it is necessary to transition to a different socio-economic model that is based on the latest trends in technologies and allows using them to overcome the crisis of modern civilization. The author considers such a model in the framework of the noonomy concept developed by him, i.e., a non-economic way of meeting people’s needs. In this regard, planning methods act as one of the necessary tools for the transition to such a model.
WHY OPPOSE THE MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE CORPORATION IN NEPAL?
Authors: Roka Hari
Published: October 2022

The construction project agreed with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) has become highly controversial in Nepal. According to MCC policy, the contract, signed in 2017 with the goal of increasing the availability of electricity in Nepal and reducing transportation costs, must be ratified by the Nepali parliament. Confusion and controversy arose, since the move would create a precedent for the ratification by parliament, if demanded, of each and every foreign investment in Nepal. There are also legal controversies when countries that receive MCC grants are required to comply with MCC provisions intended to ensure that projects are not hampered by changes in state law. A further controversial point is a provision that makes implementation of the MCC project conditional on approval from India. The MCC is actually a part of the United States’ broader Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS), related to military pacts such as the QSD (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) that are aimed at containing China. In such circumstances, how can Nepal maintain its stance as a non-aligned nation in relation to its giant neighbors? Leaders of various political parties, civil society organizations, and the general public in Nepal currently fall into two camps that either support or reject the MCC grant.
The ethnographers’ fear to feel: manoeuvring through an affective community of no-feeling within the academe
Authors: Baumann Julia Nina
Published: October 2022

This article explores the ‘fear to feel’ of ethnographers within German-speaking academic cultures based on qualitative ethnographic material from the author’s ethnographic fieldwork (2019–22). It gives a discussion on the fieldwork context, reflects on the author’s position(ality), and methodology, next to the presentation of various ‘fear types’ within academia evolving from the data set. They rank between the absolute silencing of emotions in the professional academic context, self-optimisation in which the suppression of emotion is styled as professional behaviour, and finally communalisation in a governing emotion regime. The different forms of (not) acting out fear are analysed using this empirical material as ‘affective communities of no-feeling’ that shape communities, build solidarities and reinforce models of domination. Within these fragile and constantly reconstructing communities, which assign a particular connotation to emotions, researchers act and subordinate in equal measure using their ability of emotion regulation as capital.
Effects of parasites coinfection with other pathogens on animal host: A literature review
Authors: Hananeh Wael M. , Radhi Asya , Mukbel Rami M. , Ismail Zuhair Bani
Published: October 2022

A parasite-host relationship is complicated and largely remained poorly understood, especially when mixed infections involving pathogenic bacteria and viruses are present in the same host. It has been found that most parasites are able to manipulate the host's immune responses to evade or overcome its defense systems. Several mechanisms have been postulated that may explain this phenomenon in different animal species. Recent evidence suggests that coinfections involving many parasitic species alter the host's vulnerability to other microorganisms, hinder diagnostic accuracy, and may negatively impact vaccination by altering the host's immune responsiveness. The objective of this review was to provide a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of how parasites interact with other pathogens in different animal species. A better understanding of this complex relationship will aid in the improvement efforts of disease diagnosis, treatment, and control measures such as novel and effective vaccines and therapeutics for infectious diseases.
Spatial structure-preserving and conflict-avoiding methods for point settlement selection
Authors: Xianyong Gong , Fang Wu , Chengyi Liu , Ruixing Xing , Jiawei Du
Published: October 2022

Point settlement selection is one of the critical tasks in map generalization, which should consider spatial distribution, spatial conflict, proximity to objects, and other factors. By analyzing the current research, spatial structure-preserving and conflict-avoiding methods are proposed in this article for point settlement selection. On the one hand, in view of the shortcomings of the Voronoi diagram in measuring settlement density and spatial distribution, a spatial conflict-avoiding strategy is proposed, which utilizes the minimum distance between adjacent settlements to weight the Voronoi diagram area to avoid local conflicts. On the other hand, in order to solve the problem of excessive temporary solidification of adjacent settlements, an adaptive temporary solidification strategy considering local spatial characteristics is proposed, with an improved novel distance-constrained Voronoi diagram model suggested and employed. Comparative experiments and related quantitative analysis on the National Land Survey of Finland Topographic Database confirm that the above methods have good effect. The conflict-avoiding strategy can effectively prioritize map readability and legibility, while the adaptive temporary solidification method can better deal with the boundary effect of settlement groups.

Published: October 2022

Pure and Ag@AgCl modified TiO2 were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method, which exhibit anatase/rutile/brookite (A/R/B) triphasic structure. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photocurrent response, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and the photocatalytic activity was evaluated by taking 100 mL (10 mg/L) methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution as the target pollutant. The results show that Ag@AgCl modification is beneficial for the separation of photogenerated charges and the absorption in visible region. The degradation degree of MB increases from 75.7% for pure TiO2 to 97.3% for Ag@AgCl modified TiO2.

Authors: Kartal Gülşah Ekin , Sariişik Merih , Erkan Gökhan , Etkeser Sadi
Published: October 2022

This study was intended to evaluate the behavior of permethrin-containing capsules. To do this, permethrin was encapsulated in an ethyl cellulose shell via a simple coacervation method and microcapsule optimization analyses were conducted. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the microcapsules were spherical and smooth. The microcapsules had a slender-sized distribution, and the average particle size was 50 μm according to laser diffraction analysis. Upholstery fabrics were treated with permethrin capsules via impregnation, printing, or coating to compare application methods. After application, the insecticidal effects of the pre-washed and post-washed fabrics were investigated. Insecticidal activity was evaluated against common house mosquitoes (Culex pipiens) using the World Health Organization’s cone bioassay. The mosquitoes tended to stay away from the treated fabrics, and mortality rates on the printed, coated, and impregnated fabrics were 52 %, 51 %, and 50 %, respectively. The fabrics still repelled the mosquitoes after five washes. This study demonstrated that microcapsules can be transferred onto fabrics by coating and printing methods in addition to the conventional impregnation process, and that treated upholstery fabrics can be used commercially to protect against mosquito-borne illnesses.
Law and Society Approach on Legal Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence
Authors: Choirinnisa Shafa Amalia
Published: October 2022

Violence in society is actually not a new thing. Violence is often carried out in conjunction with one form of criminal act, as regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP) for example theft with violence (Article 365 of the Criminal Code), rape (Article 285 of the Criminal Code), Persecution (Article 351 of the Criminal Code). However, at this time there is a lot of domestic violence in the form of violence against wives or women. Often this act of violence is called a hidden crime. It is called so, because both the perpetrator and the victim try to keep the act a secret from public view. Sometimes it is also called domestic violence, because violence occurs in the domestic sphere.  Criminal acts of domestic violence can cause victims both due to physical, psychological, sexual and neglect, so that efforts to protect victims are needed, including physical and psychological health recovery. For perpetrators of domestic violence, law enforcement efforts are needed to resolve cases of violence through the judicial process. Constraints in resolving domestic violence cases need to be overcome through the role of the government and local governments in collaboration with the community so that the implementation of the elimination of domestic violence can be realized. This study is intended to describe and analyze the legal protection for the victims of domestic violence in Indonesia by comparing some related laws and regulations such as Anti-Domestic Violence Act, Child Protection Act, Human Rights Law, and Indonesian Criminal Code.
Can Knees be Forgotten 2 Years After Total Knee Arthroplasty?
Authors: Bansal Rahul , Jolly Angad , Balasubramaniana Easwar , Yalamanchalia Shamsundar
Published: October 2022

Background:
There have been multiple ways to measure outcomes post total knee arthroplasty. Ultimate goal is to replicate a natural joint to allow patients to perform most activities of daily living and give high satisfaction rates. Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) like Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS)and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) have been validated and used for evaluation of TKA patients. FJS helps to evaluate how natural a prosthesis feels post surgery. Our aim was to study how natural a joint felt or was forgotten 2 year after surgery and how FJS correlates with OKS and WOMAC scores.
Materials and Methods :
We evaluated 254 total knee replacements with minimum 2 year post TKA. All the patients who were at least 2 year post operative, completed FJS questionnaire where scores are ranged from 0-100; OKS questionnaire where scores are ranged between 0-48; Short – form WOMAC questionnaire where scores are ranged between 0-28. Correlation analysis was performed for FJS with OKS and short - form WOMAC scores. 
Results:
254 patients with mean age of 65.01 years of which 83 males and 171 females were evaluated with minimum of 24 months follow up and average follow-up of 30.85 months. Average FJS, OKS and SF WOMAC were 77.24, 38.75 & 79.97 respectively. FJS showed good correlation with OKS and SF WOMAC scores.
Conclusion :
FJS is an easy and equally effective outcome measure, which is valid and reliable like the other common well know measures like OKS and WOMAC. Patients experience a marked improvement in the FJS over the first two years. Patients in our series had good outcomes who had more natural feel of knees or a feeling of “forgotten knees” in their day to day activity after 2 years of surgery.
Multilingualism in Lithuanian pre-school education institutions: Situation, issues, prospects
Authors: Lenkauskaitė Jurgita , Malinauskienė Daiva
Published: October 2022

The growing manifestation of multiculturalism in Lithuania has been prompting the educational community and education policy makers to pay more attention to the issues related to quality education for bilingual and multilingual children. Due to the lack of experience in analyzing this phenomenon, certain previous studies on multilingualism have created a basis that leads to underestimation of the importance of multilingualism at an early age. In recent years attitudes towards multilingual education have been changing. More effective language learning is becoming one of the priority areas of education.

Building on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, the article presents the situation, issues and prospects of multilingualism in Lithuanian pre-school education institutions.

A multilingual environment and properly selected methods enable the child of pre-school age to naturally learn several languages. Therefore, early learning of a foreign language is gaining popularity in Lithuania, and in terms of children with other nationalities, it is aimed at creation of favorable conditions for them to learn the official Lithuanian language.

The article also reviews the organizational models and methods of multilingual education, best practice of multilingual and multicultural kindergartens in Lithuania, challenges faced by the pre-school education institutions in terms of multilingualism, emphasizes the necessity and possibilities for development of teachers' multicultural competence.
Debate as an educational method in Hungary: The policy environment and needs in teacher-training
Authors: Venkovits Balázs , Makay Mariann
Published: October 2022

The benefits of using formalized debates in the classroom are widely known as debating develops various skills that students need both inside and outside the modern educational system. Such competences range from communication and research skills, critical thinking, team work, public speaking, and self-confidence (Kennedy, 2007; Medina, 2020; Snider & Schnurer, 2006). However, while debating is frequently used both in regular classroom settings and as extra-curricular activities in various countries, it is still largely neglected as an educational tool in Hungary. This is true both in secondary and tertiary education with the teaching of debate mostly absent from teacher-training programs as well. After an overview of research findings on the key benefits of using debates in the classroom, the paper examines the educational policy environment in Hungary concerning the use of debates and based on various surveys argues that the manifold benefits of debating could also be exploited in Hungary as it is not only enabled by the core and general curricula but also caters for a clear need both in teacher training and daily educational practice.
Virtual laboratory use in science education with digitalization
Authors: Durkaya Figen
Published: October 2022

In science class, students learn by making and living information, enabling them to make sense of knowledge effectively and permanently and to associate it with daily life. Applied science courses make learning more qualified. While science teaching is carried out in application areas such as laboratories, virtual laboratories are used with the development of information technologies today. Virtual laboratories are auxiliary tools that make teaching and learning easier. Virtual environments offer the opportunity to experiment through simulation programs and modeling. In the study, it was examined which of the experiments in the PhET simulation software was suitable for the student gain in the science course curriculum according to the grade level. In the research, a qualitative research method was employed. Simulation programs on the web address “phet.colorado.edu” were examined by document analysis. According to the findings of the study, there are 80 interactive simulation applications in the PhET application that are suitable for student gains in the science curriculum prepared by the Ministry of National Education. In the PhET simulation software, it was determined that most physical experiments can be done according to the student gains in the science course curriculum, and the experiments in the field of biology are limited.

Published: October 2022

A través del presente trabajo, se exponen los resultados de las acciones de formación destinadas a emprendedores turísticos del Departamento de Jáchal, Provincia de San Juan, Argentina.

El mencionado Departamento geográfico  posee una diversidad de bienes patrimoniales tangibles e intangibles, que demandan grandes esfuerzos para su conservación y protección, y que a su vez constituyen una importante fuente de recursos para la realización de diversas actividades productivas. En ese contexto, la actividad turística configura una herramienta idónea para poner en valor el patrimonio cultural de la localidad, a la vez que posibilita la revalorización y construcción de la identidad, por medio de la realización de actividades que puedan mostrar a los visitantes quienes son y lo que hacen los habitantes locales: lo cotidiano es lo diferente (lo atractivo) para otros. Afrontar este desafío requiere de un desafío aún mayor: logar la seguridad y la confianza para emprender este camino (lo que somos puede interesar a otros).  Por lo tanto, a través de ésta actividad de formación, se procuró acompañar a los destinatarios en el proceso de búsqueda y construcción de una estrategia de desarrollo de la actividad turística en su localidad, a partir de una visión compartida y de la identificación de oportunidades de emprendimientos que les posibiliten poner en valor su identidad local, a la vez que aprovechar los beneficios de la actividad turística, en un marco de sostenibilidad económica, social y ambiental. De esta manera, se buscó promover la generación de ideas de negocios sostenibles que permitan a los destinatarios su integración a la actividad productiva y así contribuir a incrementar sus ingresos y evitar su migración hacia otras localidades, tomando en cuenta las potencialidades turísticas del propio territorio. Se utilizó una metodología de aprendizaje participativo (aprender haciendo), a través de la cual se buscó que los destinatarios tomen conciencia de su potencial como comunidad para construir capitales identitarios (productivos, culturales, históricos, naturales), esperando que ello contribuya a consolidar una propuesta turística con una fuerte identidad local, a la vez que fortalecer las capacidades emprendedoras de los destinatarios involucrados.

THE LEGALITIES OF MANDATORY COVID-19 VACCINATION AT UNIVERSITIES: LESSONS TO BE LEARNT FROM Klaassen v Trustees of Indiana University (No. 1:21-CV-238 DRL, N.D. Ind.)
Authors: Desan Iyer
Published: October 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic, which started in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has continued to wreak havoc and has changed humanity forever. The Higher Education sector, like many others, has not been spared. In an effort to save the academic year and ensure that some teaching and learning could take place in a safe and secure environment, many tertiary institutions in South Africa and other parts of the world transitioned to online education. There is no doubt that online learning promotes rich learning and understanding, and it is an effective modality for teaching both concepts and skills in most disciplines. Online education has enabled many tertiary institutions to become innovative in the way students learn and academics teach, while also overcoming the constraints of space, time and distance. However, the shift to remote learning has also unmasked historical, geospatial and economic inequalities that permeate the world in which students live. Challenges include the digital divide, lack of technical support, poor learning environments, conditions at home, and lack of assets (among others), resulting in many student organisations in Africa and South Africa rejecting online teaching, with some viewing it as “an unaffordable, impractical and an elitist solution” to COVID-19. With the realisation that COVID-19 is here to stay for a while, and many students complaining about the difficulties posed by online learning from home, it seems inevitable that many universities in South Africa have already or may in future consider expediting the return of students to campus. However, to open fully, universities (like other sectors) may deem it necessary, as part of their planning process, to make it mandatory for all staff and students to be vaccinated. The question that arises then is whether mandatory vaccination in a tertiary setting will pass constitutional muster in a court of law. Students, if required to vaccinate or produce a vaccination card upon entry to campus, may argue that their legal rights, such as their right to bodily integrity, religious freedom and possibly their choice to choose or refuse their medical treatment, may be infringed. South Africa has not yet had to deal with such challenges. However, the US case of Klaassen v Trustees of Indiana University (No 1:21-CV-238 DRL ND IND) (Klaassen) 1–101, was one of the first cases from a global perspective to deal with such challenges and can provide valuable assistance for South Africa going forward. This case note critically examines the case of Klaassen, which is a landmark case dealing with the issue of mandatory vaccinations for students within a university setting. It is hoped that the case will provide guidance to universities in drafting policy documents surrounding mandatory vaccination, as well as in dealing with possible legal challenges in future.
Active Mobility: A study on Walkability in the city of Blumenau/SC
Authors: Pereira Edilson , Dias Vera Lúcia Nehls
Published: October 2022

This research addresses aspects related to active urban mobility focusing on the understanding of walkability and the criteria that condition it. Walkability is a preponderant factor in the quality of urban space, as it is about the characteristics and conditions that a place presents for walking. In this context, this research carried out an analysis of walkability in four urban space clippings of the city of Blumenau/SC. A method for evaluating the walkability was applied, and thus the indexes for each area were identified; furthermore, interviews were carried out through a questionnaire with the objective of knowing the profile of the walker, his/her characteristics and perceptions. Thus, it could be concluded that the walkability in the researched areas shows a direct relationship between the attractiveness of the space, either by the safety conditions in all senses, by points of attraction, such as shops and services or outdoor living areas, or even by a pleasant sightseeing, added to the conditions of urban infrastructure of the sidewalks, much more than just the characteristics of the rugged terrain.

Published: October 2022

A multiple slot fractal antenna design has been determined communication efficiency and its multi-function activities.  High-speed small communication devices have been required for future smart chip applications, so that researchers have been employed new and creative antenna design. Antennas are key part in communication systems, those are used to improve communication parameters like gain, efficiency, and bandwidth. Consistently, modern antennas design with high bandwidth and gain balancing is very difficult, therefore an adaptive antenna array chip design is required. In this research work a coaxial fed antenna with fractal geometry design has been implemented for Wi-Fi and Radio altimeter application. The fractal geometry has been taken with multiple numbers of slots in the radiating structure for uncertain applications. The coaxial feeding location has been selected based on the good impedance matching condition (50 Ohms). The overall dimension mentioned for antenna are approximately 50X50X1.6 mm on FR4 substrate and performance characteristic analysis is performed with change in substrate material presented in this work. Dual-band resonant frequency is being emitted by the antenna with resonance at 3.1 and 4.3 GHz for FR4 substrate material and change in the resonant bands is obtained with change in substrate. The proposed Antenna is prototyped on Anritsu VNA tool and presented the comparative analysis like VSWR 12%, reflection coefficient 9.4%,3D-Gain 6.2% and surface current 9.3% had been improved.
Политика противодействия коррупции в России в контексте новых реалий: актуальные проблемы теории и практики
Authors: Мухаев Рашид Тазитдинович
Published: October 2022

Цель статьи — выявить новые тенденции в механизме воспроизводства традиционных коррупционных практик, а также причины появления новых форм преступлений коррупционной направленности для формирования оптимальных моделей противодействия коррупции. Для этого в статье рассмотрены универсальные и локальные факторы, расширяющие ареал распространения коррупционных практик и превращающие коррупцию в главную угрозу устойчивого развития общества. Дан анализ концепта «коррупция», состояния теории коррупции, ее проблемных комплексов, предложена междисциплинарная матрица анализа. Выявлены структура и ареал преступлений коррупционной направленности в России, рассмотрен механизм воспроизводства коррупционных практик, причины появления новых составов коррупционных преступлений, предложены рекомендации по повышению эффективности политики антикоррупционного противодействия. Доказано, что главным фактором в механизме воспроизводства коррупции в России является амбивалентность сознания как форма мировосприятия коррупции, одновременно сочетающая неприятие и ее моральное оправдание. Это требует междисциплинарной рефлексии данного феномена в науке, а в правоприменительной практике — преодоления благодушного отношения населения к коррупции, формирования у него установки нулевой терпимости к ее проявлениям.
Психологические подходы к пониманию концепции личной безопасности
Authors: Тылец Валерий Геннадьевич , Краснянская Татьяна Максимовна
Published: October 2022

В статье концепция личной безопасности рассматривается в качестве предметно ориентированной имплицитной концепции личности, отражающей ее внутреннюю сложную, многослойную, дифференцировано осознаваемую, стихийно формирующуюся позицию в отношении социального и природного окружения, воспринимаемого через призму параметров опасно/безопасно. В ее структуре можно достаточно уверенно признавать доминирование многослойного объектно-идентификационного и присутствие диффузных оценочно-верифицируемых пластов содержания. Обладая регуляторной природой, концепция задает базовую предрасположенность для своего субъекта внешнего и внутреннего реагирования на актуальные и потенциальные опасности. Формируясь на основе интеграции естественного и искусственного опыта безопасности, процессов социализации, индивидуально переработанных элементов научных знаний и умений, концепция обладает высокой субъективностью, некритичностью и терпимостью к разного рода неточностям своего содержания. Мало рефлексируемая, концепция обнаруживается на вероятностной основе в слабо контролируемых познавательных, эмоциональных и поведенческих актах субъектного реагирования на условия, обстоятельства и ситуации, актуализирующие оценки с позиции опасно/безопасно.
Особенности возникновения арабской науки в VII–VIII вв.
Authors: Хасанов Марат Маликович
Published: October 2022

В статье рассматривается влияние становления общего языка — арабского — на развитие науки и литературы в арабском мире. Показано, как по мере расширения Арабского халифата в культурную область ислама стали попадать научные центры и труды немусульманских народов. Именно в этот период мусульманские ученые начинают знакомиться с работами греко-персидского мира, переводят и осваивают большой пласт научной литературы, вводя его в исламский оборот.

Арабская мысль, арабская культура, наряду с существующими социальными, политическими и идеологическими факторами, вызывают беспрецедентное движение переводческой деятельности в Багдаде, недавно основанной столице арабской династии Аббасидов в течение первых двух столетий их правления.

Выявляется необходимость использования богатейшего педагогического опыта российской, затем советской системы образования и воспитания гармоничной личности, гражданина своей страны. Авторы моделируют культурную картину мира современности: повсеместное, насильственное внедрение либеральных ценностей и буржуазно-либеральной идеологии, построенной на трех основах —  рынке, конкуренции, глобализации, отменило в конечном счете общечеловеческие ценности, мораль, нравственность. Выявлена сущность общества потребления, его основные черты: коррупция, практически созданная мировая элита олигархов, политиков и технократов, контролирующая не только основные финансовые потоки мира, но и образовательный процесс в России, где по Болонской системе штампуются идеальные потребители. Авторы задаются вопросами: насколько обучающиеся осваивают академические ценности, академическую культуру как сложное личностное образование; насколько современные студенты, обучающиеся журналистике, способны проанализировать, критически осмыслить и доступно изложить через СМИ объективно сложную информацию, характеризующую современную политическую, социокультурную ситуацию, место человека в мире? В статье осуществляется анализ системы воспитания и журналистского образования в условиях информационно-гибридной войны и отстаивания духовно-ценностных координат нашего Отечества.
Методологические подходы к анализу персональной модернизации в процессе трансформации современности
Authors: Веряскина Валентина Петровна
Published: October 2022

Статья посвящена рассмотрению возможных методологических подходов к исследованию изменений человека, который становится современным в ходе исторического процесса. В статье показывается, что современным, в отличие от традиционного общества, становится как общество, так и сам человек в результате персональной модернизации. Под персональной модернизацией понимается проблематизация связей и взаимодействия человека с социальными институтами, прежде всего с капитализмом. В работе рассматриваются особенности персональной модернизации на разных этапах капитализма, который и сам, в свою очередь, подвержен трансформациям.

В этой связи в работе проводится идея о необходимости методологического анализа персональной организации на разных уровнях: социально-философских концепций современности, уровня методологии социологических и социально-психологических подходов, а также методологии прогнозирования возможных изменений человеческого потенциала, обусловленных вызовами XXI века в российском контексте социального развития. Такой многоуровневый методологический подход к персональной модернизации позволяет более глубоко понять человеческое измерение исторического процесса, его направленность и риски, связанные с возрастающей ролью в нашем обществе человеческих качеств, человеческого потенциала и человеческого капитала.

The relationship between smoking and the lung damage volume in patients with a confirmed new coronavirus infection diagnosis, hospitalized in a temporary infectious hospital for the treatment of patients suffering from a new coronavirus infection and community-acquired pneumonia was evaluated. This was in the Odintsovo Districts Patriot Park of the Moscow region. Smoking cigarettes, both active and passive, as well as exposure to tobacco smoke on the body, are important upper and lower respiratory tract infection risk factors due to local immune response suppression. Nevertheless, data from a number of international studies indicate a significantly lower number of hospitalized smoking patients compared to non-smokers. These indicators were investigated as the percentage and degree of lung damage, smoking history, the number of cigarettes smoked per day, and the smoker's index. In the course of the study, the data on a smaller percentage of smokers admitted to inpatient treatment were confirmed in comparison with non-smokers and smokers in the general population. There was no statistically significant difference in the volume of lung damage between smoking and non-smoking patients according to the chest organs computed tomography. At the same time, there was an increase in the volume of lung tissue damage, depending on the smoking experience. This is apparently due to the irreversible changes formation in lung tissue against a long-term smoking background. The median age of smoking patients was 56 years with a variation from 46 to 68 years. The minimum and maximum ages were 29 and 82. The median lung lesion was 32% with a variation from 23% to 39%. The minimum and maximum lung damage is 10% and 40%, respectively. A moderate correlation was found between the smoking experience and the volume of lung damage. An increase in lung damage by 0.309% should be expected with an increase in smoking experience by one full year. There was also no statistically significant difference in the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the smokers index.

A rare case of severe asphyxia in a young patient due to household gas leakage WAS presented. The patient was found in an unconscious state with signs of respiratory failure at home, requiring respiratory support at the prehospital stage. The patient had a picture of damage to the circulatory organs with the development of acute myocardial ischemia without damage and reactive hydropericardium, respiratory organs in the form of hypoxic pulmonary edema, complicated by the development of bilateral community-acquired pneumonia, hydrothorax and severe respiratory failure, damage to the nervous system with the development of hypoxic encephalopathy with loss of consciousness and bilateral pyramidal syndrome, digestive organs with the development of reactive posthypoxic hepatopathy. Upon admission to the clinic of the field therapy of the Military Medical Academy of S.M. Kirov, which required hospitalization of the patient in the intensive care unit. It was possible to fully stop severe multiple organ damage that developed as a result of acute hypoxic exposure as a result of the complex treatment. This clinical case clearly demonstrates the importance of emergency, systematic and full-fledged intensive care at all stages of providing care to people with acute hypoxic lesions of organs and systems, including severe community-acquired pneumonia and hypoxic myocardial dystrophy. The influence of the early intensive care initiation and timely evacuation at the stage of qualified and specialized medical care on the effectiveness of therapeutic measures is discussed as this plays a fundamental role in the survival of this category of patients. In general, with timely and full-fledged therapeutic measure implementation aimed at treating complications, even severe acute hypoxic organs lesions and systems are reversible, although this may require long-term inpatient treatment and rehabilitation measures in a military sanatorium-resort organization condition of a therapeutic profile, as well as conducting a military medical examination to establish the fitness category for further military service.

The classification of the pharmacy organizations fields of activity is substantiated, the typology of pharmacy activity is formed, and the main groups of production processes involved in the process of creating pharmaceutical services and bringing pharmaceutical products to the end consumer are characterized. It was established that process approach is an important quality management principle. Process approach allows you to visualize the entire organizations work and present its internal environment as a set of interrelated processes. Two directions of pharmacy organization activities are defined as: current activities, during which a finished pharmaceutical product is created, and development activities, aimed at improving the pharmacy organizations activities. The four groups of processes involved in the creation of pharmaceutical services in one way or another were identified after applying the process approach (main, auxiliary, development processes, management processes). These process groups are characterized and grouped. The main goals the roles performed in the pharmacy's activities, the result, as well as the final and intermediate consumers of these processes are defined for each of the groups of processes. A process-oriented model of the pharmacy organization management system was developed based on the process approach application. Building a network of processes, presenting each selected process in a visual and easier to understand form, as well as forming and approving a document regulating the algorithm for executing a specific process are included in the model. It is necessary to define the goals of the organizations activities for the functioning of such a model: identify a set of processes that ensure the activities of a pharmaceutical organization, describe these processes by developing appropriate regulations and procedures, distribute areas of responsibility between performers, and develop a system of indicators and performance evaluation. Process approach is commonly an effective mechanism for influencing a pharmacy organizations management system. The presented model contributes to improving the quality of pharmaceutical care provided to the population.

The outbreak of a new coronavirus infection was officially recognized by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic since March 11, 2020. The pandemic is currently gradually receding, the number of patients is also steadily decreasing. However, these circumstances are not grounds to believe that the virus has been definitively and irrevocably defeated. For this reason, the world medical community is still concerned about the coronavirus impact on the course and outcome of various chronic bronchopulmonary diseases. Bronchial asthma has been recognized as one of the leading forms of human somatic pathology throughout the history of mankind and medicine. It is quite natural that the focus of the researchers' attention turned out to be questions about the SARS-CoV-2 virus impact on patients suffering from bronchial asthma, starting with the peculiarities of the course of combined pathology and ending with the peculiarities of therapy and subsequent rehabilitation. The issues of coronavirus infection and bronchial asthma pathogenesis were considered. The research data on some features of the development and course of a new coronavirus infection in patients with this profile were analyzed and summarized. The low coronavirus infection prevalence among patients with an allergic bronchial asthma form compared with other phenotypes is shown among such features, data on the effect of eosinophilia on the course of infection are presented, and the basic therapys positive effect using inhaled glucocorticosteroids and/or monoclonal antibodies (biological therapy) in severe asthma, is shown in the form of a protective effect that provides a lighter coronavirus infection course. The main features of patient management suffering from bronchial asthma in the conditions of a pandemic are the organization of stable medical control in online telemedicine once monthly, regular examinations in accordance with the severity of the course of the disease and the correction of basic therapy to achieve complete control over the course of asthma.
