Consumption profile of organic fruits and vegetables by a Portuguese consumer’s sample
Authors: Oliveira André , Mendes Ana , Lameiras Jorge , Mendes-Moreira Pedro , Botelho Goreti
Published: September 2023

The consumption of fruits and vegetables has been considered very important for human health. This research aimed to study consumption habits of fruits and vegetables from organic farming (OFV) within a convenience sample of Portuguese adults, including reasons for consumption, most valued mode of production sources, frequency of use, knowledge about characteristics and benefits, and information sources. An online questionnaire containing 30 questions was originally developed and shared on social networks and 300 questionnaires were obtained. The organic vegetables identified as the most consumed were lettuce (93.5%), potato (92%), and tomato (92%); the most consumed organic fruits were orange (83%), lemon (82%), and strawberry (82%). The strongest motivations to consume OFV include environmental benefits (57%) and health benefits (94%), namely the prevention of high total cholesterol (71%), the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (69%), and obesity prevention (68%). Regarding the level of information about the nutritional and chemical properties of OFV, 86% of the respondents consider themselves informed people. Meanwhile, there still are 33% of the respondents revealing no concern about the farming practices. As so, there is an opportunity to increase literacy about these products, to raise awareness about the benefits of organic products, and to promote higher consumption of OFV products, supported in the arguments of perceived positive impact of organic agriculture on ecosystems and human health.
The soliton solutions for stochastic Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii Schiff equation in plasma physics/fluid mechanics
Authors: Al-Askar Farah M.
Published: September 2023

The generalized (2+1)-dimensional stochastic Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii Schiff equation (SCBSE) driven by a multiplicative Brownian motion is taken into consideration. The Riccati equation mapping and He’s semi-inverse methods are utilized to obtain the rational function, hyperbolic function, and trigonometric function for SCBSE. We expand some solution from previous studies. The acquired solutions of SCBSE may explain many exciting physical phenomena because it is widely used in plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Also, it explains the relationship between the Riemann y-axis propagating wave and the long x-axis propagating wave. Using a variety of 2D and 3D graphs, we illustrate how the Brownian motion influences the exact solutions of SCBSE.
Indeterminate Analyticity
Authors: Montminy Martin
Published: September 2023

W. V. Quine is commonly read as holding that there are no analytic truths and no a priori truths. I argue that this is a misreading. Quine’s view is that no sentence is determinately analytic or determinately a priori. I show that my reading is better supported by Quine’s arguments and general remarks about meaning and analyticity. I then briefly reexamine the debate between Quine and Carnap about analyticity, and show that the nature of their disagreement is different than what it is usually thought to be.
Organisations autonomes décentralisées et enjeux de gouvernance : le cas de The DAO
Authors: Malouin Mario
Published: September 2023

La confiance est à la base du modèle de gouvernance traditionnel découlant de la révolution industrielle basé sur une logique verticale. Ce modèle de gouvernance a été remis en question à plusieurs reprises à la suite des nombreux scandales financiers depuis la débâcle de la société Enron en 2001. La technologie de la chaîne de blocs offre le potentiel de faire évoluer ce modèle de gouvernance en permettant la création d’organisations autonomes décentralisées (OAD). Une OAD est une organisation fonctionnant grâce à un ensemble de contrats intelligents qui établissent et fournissent des règles de gouvernance à l’organisation. Ces règles sont transparentes et immuables, car elles sont inscrites dans un réseau chaîne de blocs. Grâce à une recherche approfondie du cas de The DAO, cette étude présente certains enjeux de gouvernance importants des OAD.
Redox control of signalling responses to contractile activity and aging in skeletal muscle
Authors: Jackson Malcolm J
Published: September 2023

During aging loss of skeletal muscle mass and function has a significant effect of an individual’s quality of life and ability to maintain independence. Both loss of muscle fibres and atrophy of the remaining fibres play a role in the muscle decline and this is associated with loss of motor units and a reduction in the number of motor neurons. Increased oxidative damage has long been claimed to be associated with aging and many studies have reported increased amounts of oxidative damage markers are found in tissues from old organisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are recognised to play a major role in cell signalling and in muscle ROS generated during contractile play an important role in signalling adaptations to contractile activity. These ’redox-regulated’ pathways are beneficial adaptations which are attenuated during aging. This review will briefly cover what is currently known about the mechanisms underlying these muscle adaptations to exercise, how they are affected by aging and assess the importance of these pathways in age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function.

The proposed measures for organizing training programs can enhance teachers' capacity to effectively teach science using STEAM education, aligning with the curriculum objectives and the demands of the 2018 Program and Textbooks Innovation in Vietnam.
Genocídios, epistemicídios, ecocídios e o pensamento moderno
Authors: De Freitas Massuno Tatiana
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo é um exercício especulativo que parte do seguinte pressuposto: a fundamentação epistemológica da modernidade propiciou a emergência do evento Antropoceno. Embora o termo adquira ares de neutralidade, tendo sido primeiramente utilizado no âmbito das ciências ditas duras para designar a entrada em uma nova era geológica, o conceito escamoteia a cadeia de relações que ele próprio coloca em cena. Afinal, quem são os humanos que estão no cerne do Antropoceno? Ademais, tendo sido fruto, acidental ou não, do processo de modernização global, faz parte de um fenômeno maior de homogeneização de padrões e culturas. O estabelecimento de um padrão único – o homem branco ocidental – está por trás dos genocídios, epistemicídios e ecocídios que caracterizam a modernidade. Pretende-se, assim, analisar a forma como tais fenômenos (genocídios, epistemicídios e ecocídios) se entrelaçam e se amplificam com o advento do Antropoceno. Para tal, um diálogo será travado com diferentes saberes, a fim de garantir a imaginação especulativa necessária para se vislumbrar perspectivas para além do já estabelecido. Dessa maneira, o romance Solar, de Ian McEwan, será trazido para a discussão, uma vez que não somente traz como pano de fundo os efeitos da ação humana no planeta, como também tem como protagonista um cientista. A visão do homem da ciência, branco, heterossexual, europeu será o ponto de partida de nossa discussão. Afinal, pode a ciência se manter neutra em tempos de catástrofes planetárias? O presente texto, então, inscreve-se no seio de entrelaçamentos, junturas, emaranhamentos tão caros ao pensamento contemporâneo preocupado com formas menos antropocêntricas de estar no mundo.
Jinendrabuddhi's Viśālāmalavatī Pramāṇasamuccayaṭīkā
Authors: Ono Motoi , Muroya Yasutaka , Watanabe Toshikazu
Published: September 2023

Jinendrabuddhi’s (approx. 710–770 CE) Pramanasamuccayatika is a detailed commentary on Dignaga’s (approx. 480–540) Pramanasamuccaya, the text that traditionally marked the foundation of the Buddhist school of logic and epistemology in India. The current volume presents a diplomatic and critical Sanskrit edition of the sixth and final chapter of Jinendrabuddhi’s commentary, where the focus is the theory of “false rejoinders”, a dialectical question rarely treated by Indian Buddhist logicians later than the seventh century. Jinendrabuddhi’s voluminous commentary is thus a highly important source, not only for research on the development of the Buddhist school of logic, but also on Indian philosophy in general. The diplomatic edition presented in the current volume is based on a single extant Sanskrit manuscript of the Pramanasamuccayatika kept in Lhasa, Tibet. Access to copies of this manuscript has been made available only recently. To produce the critical edition, also the Tibetan translation of Jinendrabuddhi’s commentary and other relevant materials were taken into consideration. Not only does the critically edited text enable a more exact interpretation of Dignaga’s theory of “false rejoinders” than has hitherto been possible, it also illuminates details regarding the history of the Indian Buddhist tradition of dialectics prior to Dignaga’s time. Editions of the first two of the Pramanasamuccayatika’s six chapters have already been published, in 2005 and 2012, in the current series “Sanskrit Texts from the Tibetan Autonomous Region” (STTAR).
Duch Święty w ziemskim życiu Chrystusa w ujęciu Hansa Ursa von Balthasara
Authors: Faltyn Janusz
Published: September 2023

Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905–1988) prezentuje oryginalny sposób refleksji nad relacjami w Trójcy Świętej dotyczącymi zwłaszcza ziemskiej egzystencji Chrystusa — od wcielenia do zmartwychwstania. Na uwagę w tym względzie zasługuje pojęcie inwersji trynitarnej, w której dokonuje się czasowe odwrócenie relacji Osób Boskich. Duch Święty, który od Ojca i Syna pochodzi (Trójca immanentna), podczas trwania inwersji prowadzi Jezusa — wcielonego Syna Bożego, posłanego od Ojca. Duch Święty w teologii Balthasara jest określany Duchem Ojca — dającym polecenia Chrystusowi, a Duch Syna jest Duchem, który przyjmuje polecenia Ojca. Chrystus dokonuje wszystkiego, od wcielenia po zmartwychwstanie w absolutnym posłuszeństwie Ojcu, które jest synonimem odwiecznej miłości Boga.

Authors: Arustamov Eduard , Arustamov Timur , Krylova Irina , Anikin Mikhail , Tarasov Denis , Galdin Ilʹya
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, according to which, starting from 2023, waste reclaimers from used goods, who have confirmed their actual disposal, will be able to count on financial support from the state. For the disposed volume, compensation will be provided in the amount of an environmental fee for individual groups of goods.
It is noted that a new procedure for attracting funds to market participants should be developed and approved by the Russian Environmental Operator (REO). The methods of packaging household waste prepared for mechanized loading and transportation for recycling and their further use are considered.
It is noted that the decision of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on financial support for waste collection and processing enterprises will allow further development of waste processing, to allocate and process more useful fractions from them. The development of standard design solutions will attract investors to the waste recycling industry, since it will take much less time and money to create production.

Authors: Speshilov Evgeny , Nesedov Pavel
Published: September 2023

Currently, in conditions of increasing uncertainty of external economic and geopolitical factors, approaches based on digitalization of analytical processes associated with their intellectualization through the use of mathematical tools are used to make effective management decisions at enterprises. Planning of a wide range of issues regarding the functioning of enterprises in the short term, and especially in the long term, depends on the reliability and relevance of the analytical material. The purpose of the study was to develop a data analysis algorithm for inventory management at an industrial enterprise adapted to the current conditions caused by the uncertainty of a number of identified factors. The article presents an analysis of the state of industry in Russia for 2017–2021. The dynamics of the price index for hotel types of economic activity is given, the pattern of changes in the number of industrial enterprises is reflected. The forecast of the price index for individual industries for 2025 is graphically presented. The main problems faced by the branch of Russian industry are identified and a brief description of their impact on the development of industrial enterprises is given. The applicability of system analysis methods for solving inventory management problems is substantiated. The composition of the Economic ordering quantity model is analyzed and the need for its modernization is argued, taking into account the effects of environmental uncertainty factors to determine the optimal order size. The authors propose a data mining algorithm designed to calculate the optimal order quantity based on a modified Wilson formula with the described assumptions and constraints. The approbation of the calculation based on it is presented. To substantiate the correctness and applicability of the algorithm, a comparison of real and calculated data is given, an expert assessment is carried out on the relevance and possibility of its implementation at industrial enterprises in order to reduce risks when making managerial decisions in terms of warehouse logistics, in particular in inventory management.
Transformation of the features of the implementation of economic security under the influence of the shadow economy
Authors: Shmeleva Tatyana , Rogulin Yuriy
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this work is to analyze the transformational processes occurring with the phenomenon of economic security, based on the impact of shadow economic activity. The author of this paper considers the definition of economic security from different positions to reflect the complexity and ambiguity of the phenomenon under consideration. At the same time, it was noted that the essence of economic security lies in the compliance of the results of economic activity with the national economic interests of the state as a whole. The paper considers the key types of indicators that allow assessing the level of economic security of the state, among them: general macroeconomic indicators, basic macroeconomic indicators, partial derivative indicators, private social indicators. The concept associated with indicators is threats, in the context of this scientific work, these are threats to the economic security of the state. The author considered the most probable and dangerous threats to the state economic security. A special place in this scientific work is occupied by the description of shadow economic activity. The author revealed a variety of approaches to the definition and study of shadow economic activity, which allows us to assert the multidimensional nature of the origin of this phenomenon. The paper notes that the shadow economy takes many forms, each of which in its own way has a negative impact on socio-economic processes, including economic security. At the same time, shadow economic processes are in a cyclical state, giving rise to new phenomena, which makes the fight against shadow economic activity difficult. At the end of this scientific work, the author described the negative consequences that arise in the event of the development of shadow economic activity, and also indicated the need for preventive measures by the state.
Modern features of the budget policy of the Russian Federation
Authors: Dzhabrailov Vali , Turgaeva Aksana
Published: September 2023

Within the framework of the presented publication, the author pays attention to the consideration of the issue related to the study of the legal and theoretical foundations for the implementation of the budget policy of Russia. This aspect requires special attention, since the economic stability of the state depends on the budget policy. In addition, some researchers argue that fiscal policy can act as a kind of indicator showing which areas are of particular importance in certain circumstances. Special attention within the framework of the article is given to the analysis of the structure, features and principles of the Russian budget system in accordance with the legal acts regulating its functioning. The author notes that the principles of the budget system determine the essence of the interaction of budgets of all levels among themselves, and also establish the main guidelines in the development of institutions of budget law, which underlies the choice of directions of budget policy in the public sector. Currently, there are several points of view regarding the analysis of the budget policy implemented in recent years and approaches to designing the future, which are presented in sufficient detail in the article. The author emphasizes that an important role in ensuring the functioning of the budget system is assigned to control over the execution of the budget, the results of which should be summed up together with the results of socio-economic policy. At the same time, the achievement of the key socio-economic goals of the state acts as a fundamental factor in determining the main directions for spending budget funds. So, for example, today the main directions, according to the author, should be the sphere of education and science, since it is precisely this that can become the backbone of the country's national security in all areas, not only through the training of new qualified personnel for professional activities, but also through raising the general intellectual and cultural level of development.
Application of mathematical and statistical methods to the problem of resource management in agricultural production, taking into account uncertainty and risk
Authors: Dosov Askar , Speshilov Evgeny
Published: September 2023

The agricultural sphere of production has always been accompanied by the influence of a wide range of factors, among which a large share is assigned to natural and climatic. The activities of agricultural organizations, especially in the field of crop production, are directly related to weather events, and in addition, a number of unstable processes of economic content (prices, demand, etc.), as well as problems caused by sanctions and the need to resolve import substitution issues, force management decisions to be made in conditions of uncertainty and risk. At the same time, the competent use of resource potential enables enterprises to reduce production costs and increase its efficiency in general. The purpose of the study was to develop a procedure for the formation of alternative solutions to the problem of land management for optimal placement of crops in fields using mathematical and statistical methods. The article presents an overview of a number of scientific studies related to the improvement of the activities of agricultural organizations, the results of which highlight and consider the main factors, methods and methods of increasing its effectiveness. According to official statistical sources, the analysis of the state of agricultural production in Russia, the Volga Federal District and the Orenburg Region in the context of the crop industry is given. The methods of game theory are chosen as tools that allow the formation of alternative options according to a number of criteria (Maximax criterion, Wald maximin criterion, Savage minimum risk criterion, Hurwitz pessimism-optimism criterion). The testing of the computational algorithm was carried out on the materials of one of the agricultural organizations of the Orenburg region. As a result of the study, several strategies for the use of land resources were formed when the enterprise was operating under conditions of uncertainty and risk, depending on the behavior of market conditions and natural and climatic factors. The analysis of the presented calculations showed an increase in the profit of the organization when planning the distribution of areas for agricultural crops using mathematical and statistical tools, and the possibility of automating the computational process (against the background of the digitalization of data flow processing that is relevant today) will significantly reduce the time when making managerial decisions. The results of the work can be recommended to agricultural organizations for use in the process of land management to achieve maximum efficiency and profitability of the business.
Practices in Natural History and Science Museums in Türkiye for the Combat with Environmental Challenges in the Center of Climate Change
Authors: SİVRİKAYA Gizem , GÜNERÖZ Ceren
Published: September 2023

In this article, environmental and climate practices in science and natural history museums in Türkiye are presented and discussed. While environmental and climate problems are global issues, they have local roots. As environmental issues are related to human activities and museums play a societal role, it is important to examine practices and approaches of museums in relation to the environment. Operations and practices of natural history and science museums in Türkiye, including educational activities, are important elements in communicating the risks of vulnerable environmental issue. This study outlines the environmental practices of the science and natural history museums of Türkiye which are commonly accepted as reliable providers of information to engage with audiences for action towards environmental challenges. Documentary research was conducted for the study. When the environmental practices and approaches are reviewed, it is seen that natural history museums function basically as research areas. Still, they have public education roles and organize educational activities about natural history, biodiversity and environment. While public education is one of the roles of natural history museums besides their conventional functions like collecting, conserving, researching and exhibiting, science centers are institutions dedicated to public education. Since science centers are mostly supported by municipalities, it can be said that they operate in a more sustainable and holistic way. Also, it is seen that their environmental reach-out programs offer a wider range. Based on data, we claim that collaboration with municipalities has an effect on the environmental activities and perspectives of museums. Also, climate-context works encourage museum community to make interdisciplinary works across the world. By presenting the current environmental and climate practices in natural history and science museums in Türkiye, it is aimed that the article can provide collaboration among institutions and advance the discussions among museums in the context of environment and climate.
OLHARES PARA A POLÍTICA DE ATENDIMENTO INFANTOJUVENIL BRASILEIRA (1964-1990) A PARTIR DO MODELO DE MUDANÇAS ENDÓGENAS
Authors: Mello Bárbara Birk de
Published: September 2023

Apresenta-se uma análise da política de atendimento à criança e ao adolescente no Brasil de 1964 a 1990 a partir do modelo de Mudanças Endógenas. Este modelo, que parte do novo institucionalismo histórico, é discutido a partir das propostas de Mahoney e Thelen (2009) e Streeck e Thelen (2005) e Van Der Heijden e Kuhlmann (2017). A análise está inserida no doutorado em andamento com foco na gravidez na juventude e políticas públicas de saúde e educação voltados para a reprodução e jovens. O recorte temporal se inicia com a ditadura civil-militar no Brasil, quando ocorrem e por trazer mudanças expressivas na política, e tem fim com a promulgação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) (Brasil, 1990), também um momento chave na redemocratização brasileira no que tange os direitos infantojuvenis. Tem-se como questão como se deu a política de atendimento à criança e ao jovem no Brasil de 1964 a 1990 tendo em vista o Modelo de Mudanças Endógenas?
CIÊNCIAS SOCIAIS ENTRE A “SOCIEDADE” E A “POLÍTICA”: FUNDAÇÃO FORD E AS DISPUTAS INTERPRETATIVAS EM TORNO DO SENTIDO DO GOLPE DE 1964
Authors: Silva Dayvison Wilson Bento da
Published: September 2023

Este artigo busca analisar as tensões do campo sociológico brasileiro nos anos de 1960, verificando a existência de um antagonismo entre modelos de ciência para o país no período. Como forma de acessar tais tensionamentos, defini como objeto as disputas interpretativas de dois grupos em torno do sentido do golpe de 1964: um primeiro, de autores que tomavam como eixo a sociologia para explicar o golpe e a ditadura (Florestan Fernandes como representante deste paradigma), e um segundo, que via na ciência política a disciplina mais bem ajustada para a compreensão desses fenômenos (Wanderley Guilherme dos Santos como figura central). A hipótese, portanto, é de que, mais do que simples divergência teórica, esses pontos de vista expressam a própria querela do campo das ciências sociais daquele período, erigido entre polos da sociedade e/ou da política. De forma mais abrangente, pretendo investigar a forma pela qual o processo de declínio e hegemonia desses paradigmas foi influenciado por instituições de fomento à ciência, especialmente por meio dos financiamentos privados da Fundação Ford. Com isso, houve reordenamento do campo das Ciências Sociais no país.
Parâmetros para um conceito de democracia aplicável aos Protocolos de Ushuaia: uma proposta semântica para o MERCOSUL, a partir da Carta Democrática Interamericana
Authors: Klein Vieira Luciane , Michelle Alves Monteiro. Michelle
Published: September 2023

O artigo propõe-se a fazer uma revisão crítica dos Protocolos sobre Compromisso Democrático (Protocolos de Ushuaia I e II), especificamente da cláusula democrática, conceito jurídico vago e indeterminado, aplicado no âmbito do MERCOSUL. Para tanto, abordar-se-á a formação histórica do bloco, bem como a sua preocupação na salvaguarda do Estado Democrático de Direito, por meio da análise dos principais instrumentos jurídicos que abordam a temática e da forma como vêm sendo aplicados aos casos concretos. Como problema de pesquisa tem-se a seguinte indagação: em que medida a Carta Democrática Interamericana, criada pela OEA, pode ser usada como um instrumento para o preenchimento da lacuna deixada pelos Protocolos sobre Compromisso Democrático, no que tange ao conceito de democracia? A hipótese de trabalho sustenta que a cláusula democrática dos tratados referidos, por ser omissa quanto à conceituação de democracia para fins de sua aplicação prática, gera insegurança jurídica e instabilidade na região, sendo necessária a apresentação de uma alternativa técnica para que seja realizada uma delimitação semântica adequada, reduzindo-se o espectro hermenêutico e, simultaneamente, majorando-se a segurança jurídica na adoção de instrumento de alto potencial lesivo à higidez e manutenção do bloco, podendo ser a Carta Democrática Interamericana o instrumento apto para esse desiderato. Os métodos de trabalho que foram utilizados para a confirmação da hipótese referida, que possibilitou chegar à conclusão final no sentido da necessidade do preenchimento da lacuna semântica através dos indicativos contidos na Carta Interamericana, foram o histórico, o normativo-descritivo e o comparativo.

Bu çalışmada, Türk kökenli çokuluslu şirketlerin uluslararasılaşma süreçleri ve ters bilgi transferi irdelenmeye çalışılmaktadır. İlgili yazında yeterli düzeyde çalışma olmadığı için keşifsel bilgi ortaya koymak güdüsüyle vaka analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu amaçla, gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ev sahibi ülkelerde faaliyette bulunan bir Türk çokuluslu şirketinin üst düzey yöneticileri ile derinlemesine mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular çerçevesinde, yalnızca gelişmiş ev sahibi ülkelerden değil aynı zamanda diğer gelişmekte olan ev sahibi ülkelerden de ters bilgi transferinin gerçekleştiği görülmektedir. Ters bilgi transferinin, zaman ve maliyet açısından faydalar sağlayarak merkez firmada ve şubeler arasında süreçlerin iyileştirilmesine yardımcı olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ters bilgi transferinin yanı sıra hem merkezden şubelere yönelik hem de şubeler arasında etkin bilgi transferlerinin formal ve informal kanallarla yaygın kullanmaktadırlar. Ayrıca, bulgular genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, Türk kökenli firmaların uluslararasılaşma süreçlerini açıklamada tek bir uluslararasılaşma teorisinin yetersiz kalacağı birden çok teorinin bir arada ele alınmasının daha doğru olacağı görülmektedir.

Published: September 2023

Matching (CEM) methodology using a rich firm-level dataset in order to find counterpart firms that are similar in terms of amount of loans, size, profitability and tangible asset but different in currency of the loan used. Then I use panel data fixed effect regressions to measure the impact of FX loan on firm employment and sales growth compared to TL loan. More specifically, analyze whether firms with higher FX denominated credit share have better firm outcome or not. The results point to diminishing impact of the FX loans on firm growth in recent years. While the firms borrowed in FX have higher growth rate compared to TL borrowed firms until 2017, there is no significant difference in firm employment growth or sales growth performance between FX-indebted firms and TL-indebted firms.
Criminological Characteristics of a Repeat Offender's Personality: Key Contemporary Trends of Changes in Parameters
Authors: Filippova Olga
Published: September 2023

A high level of recidivism is a dangerous trend in contemporary Russian crime. Of all offenders registered in 2021, 60 % had committed crimes earlier. This testifies to a strong criminal orientation of offenders, the drawbacks in the legal regulation and the practice of prevention, and a low effectiveness of punishments and other measures of criminal law impact. A criminological study of the personality of a repeat offender will make it possible to identify its characteristics and specific features which, in their turn, will help to gain a better understanding of the causes of recidivist criminal conduct and contribute to the improvement of measures of individual prevention. In spite of a considerable interest to the personality of a repeat offender in criminological publications, there is no unified approach to the definition of this concept. Authors analyze different groups of repeat offenders that are formed using certain characteristics. Some scholars believe that a repeat offender is a person who commits another crime after being sentences to the deprivation of liberty for the previous one. For the purposes of this article, the personality of a repeat offender is understood as an aggregate of socio-demographic, social role and moral-psychological features typical of people who commit repeat offences while already having a criminal record. The author analyzed the published statistical data of the Court Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on socio-demographic, social role and moral-psychological features of convicts with unexpunged or unexpired convictions who committed a new crime, and outlined some contemporary changes in the group characteristics of repeat offenders. It is shown that the share of women-recidivists is growing, as well as the specific weight of persons who are 30-49 years of age. The author notes a rising level of education of convicts with a previous criminal record which, however, did not affect the number of repeat offences. As a rule, repeat offences happened when the convicts did not have a source of stable income, besides, in recent years the situation in the employment sphere worsened and the share of unemployed repeat offenders rose. The identified trend of lower gravity of repeat offences could testify to a rising level of latent recidivism. It is shown that persons convicted to punishments without isolation from the society pose a higher recidivism danger, which leads to the necessity of improving the practice of imposing and enforcing such punishments.

Application of Immersive Technologies in Dealing with Suicidality (in Terms of Virtual Reality Technologies)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Shevchuk Olha , Krupelnytska Liudmyla ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: September 2023

Introduction. Suicidality stands as a significant public health concern. Each year suicides not only claim lives but also affect the surrounding environment of the individual, leading to various outcomes that require timely and appropriate actions. Factors such as inherent human rights, the economic aftermath of suicide, cultural and religious practices, and personal values could all serve as catalysts for enacting policies and practices for both preventing and addressing suicides. These very factors, in their unique combinations, could also serve as influences that either elevate the risk of or shield against the development of suicidal tendencies. The primary objective of this article is to analyze the empirical use of immersive technologies in addressing suicidality. Methods. The research methodology employed includes rigorous scientific methods such as the analysis of relevant scholarly literature, systematization, synthesis, and generalization. Results. Instances, where key social figures and stakeholders collaborated, demonstrated the most effective approach in preventing suicides. These collaborations not only enhance an individual's overall well-being but also precisely addressed their specific situation, accounting for their distinct characteristics (comorbid conditions and symptoms, etc.). An example of a successful blend of interdisciplinary research and practical interventions in the context of suicidality is the integration of immersive technologies. These technologies, particularly virtual reality, provide a range of possibilities, such as: 1) creating controlled environments for cultivating coping skills and emotional regulation abilities; 2) enhancing the engagement and involvement of clients/patients in addressing their concerns; 3) enabling specialists to better cater to individual client needs through versatile settings. Discussion. However, comprehensive research and analysis are still required to consider the nuances of implementing these technologies. Factors like equipment costs, logistical considerations, training for service providers, potential technical glitches, and their consequences need to be accounted for. Additionally, the ethical dimensions of such interventions, including security, data privacy, confidentiality, potential risks of exacerbating suicidal tendencies, and the quality of human interaction throughout the intervention process, warrant further discussion. Overall, immersive technologies are demonstrating a range of advantages over traditional intervention methods, making them a promising avenue for continued exploration and application in the field of suicide prevention.

The child’s autism significantly changes many areas of his family’s life and the family’s relationship with the social en­vironment. We studied how the presence of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects relationships within the family, the interaction of such a family with relatives, friends, and strangers. A survey of parents of children with autism was conducted in 43 regions of the Russian Federation. The answers from 604 questionnaires to the questions were analyzed: “When it turned out that your child had ASD, how did this affect mutual understanding in the family? How did the next of kin, friends, react to this? How often is your child’s behavior perceived in public? “In all cases, the changes were different, but if positive reactions prevailed in the family, relatives and friends (45.1%, 67.1% and 61.5%, respectively), then outsiders reacted negatively in 68.2% of cases (avoidance, condemnation, rejection). It has been shown that the main cause of intra-family difficulties is the peculiarities of the child’s behavior, problems of up­bringing, a shortage of qualified assistance and — to a much lesser extent — financial problems. It was concluded that the difficulties of interaction with society increase as the range of social relations expands and are due to a low level of awareness of autism and related issues. Educational work and training of parents and family members of a child with ASD are considered as the main way to overcome the identified difficulties.

Objectives. The growing number of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) entering the education system reveals the unpreparedness of modern school for the education of such children. Our aim is to identify the leading modern trends in school preparation for the ASD children in such countries as UK, USA and Australia.

Methods. The review and analysis were aimed at the modern educational practices and programs of support to preschoolers (from 3—4 years) and primary school students with ASD in the UK, USA and Australia . A bibliographic search by the following keywords was used: ASD, school readiness, inclusion, children with special education needs. The following issues were analyzed: problems solved within the framework of the program, target audiences receiving support, main tasks and methods of their solution.

Results. The main difficulties in the adapting to the school situation were revealed: self—regulation and challenging behavior, inclusion in the joint activities, interaction. The ways to overcome these difficulties are reported: special training and support programs for schoolchildren, “extended childhood”, staff training etc. The examples of successful practices are given. Authors discuss on the question of which educational conditions are important for the integration of a child with ASD into a main stream school. The popular pre-school programs in the USA, Great Britain and Australia are described: “Head Start”, “Boston Universal Pre-K”, “TeachTown”, “Aspect”, “ASD Nest Program”.

Conclusions. School preparation is a comprehensive issue for the ASD children which includes academic, social and behavioral components. Most researchers single out not the academic, but the emotional and social unpreparedness of a child as the main problem field. The leading trends towards creating conditions for school preparation of ASD children are: special organization of the learning process, continuity in the work of preschool and school education staff, interaction of school and family specialists.
