Objetivo: identificar o conhecimento e as práticas de prevenção às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) entre homens jovens universitários. Método: estudo descritivo-exploratório, de natureza qualitativa, realizado em uma universidade pública. Participaram 20 universitários do sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 18 a 29 anos e sexualmente ativos. Realizou-se a coleta de dados por meio de um roteiro semiestruturado e os dados foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo temático-categorial. Resultados: apesar de os participantes reconhecerem que as IST são transmitidas pela prática do sexo desprotegido, a imprevisibilidade das práticas sexuais, a confiança na parceria sexual em relacionamentos estáveis e o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas são fatores que favorecem o não uso de preservativos. Testes diagnósticos e antirretrovirais são adotados em substituição ao uso de preservativos. Conclusão: o grupo populacional se expõe a riscos e carece de ações de educação em saúde e acesso a serviços de prevenção de doenças.

VKG – As transformações profundas no Sistema Terra, desde a mudança climática até o esgotamento dos recursos naturais causados pela ação humana, desafiam as estruturas e as instituições internacionais existentes, exigindo respostas para os seus impactos transfronteiriços e intergeracionais. Antes tratadas como problemas locais, questões como poluição, chuva ácida e perda de biodiversidade passam a ocupar arenas internacionais diante de um consenso político internacional sobre a necessidade de uma ação coordenada entre os países. Os problemas ambientais desafiam o alcance de políticas tradicionais, desenhadas a partir da noção de fronteiras nacionais, e que têm como parâmetros a previsibilidade e o controle de riscos. A mudança climática, por exemplo, não pode ser resolvida apenas por um país, pois suas causas e efeitos são globais, suas consequências não podem ser previstas por modelos tradicionais e seus efeitos não podem ser controlados.

Semantic potential of the lexeme twilight in Russian poetry
Authors: Patroeva Natalia V.
Published: February 2024

The article provides an in-depth analysis of both direct and figurative usages, as well as the figurative transformations of the term 'twilight' in Russian poetry spanning over a cen­tury and a half of its evolution. The linguistic and poetic examination focuses on contexts featuring the lemma 'twilight' within the poetic corpus of the Russian National Corpus, spe­cifically those related to the period from 1756 to 1917. The chosen timeframe aligns with the initial recording of the selected lexeme, as per corpus data, with the second date serving as a conditional endpoint corresponding to the conclusion of the Silver Age of Russian lyrics. The aim of the linguistic and poetic analysis is to discern patterns in the figurative and symbolic utilization, as well as the individual reinterpretation of the term 'twilight' by poets across various literary methods, trends, and schools, including baroque, classicism, sentimentalism, romanticism, realism, and modernism. The conducted analysis leads to the following conclu­sions: 1) The term 'twilight' is employed in poetry in its direct-nominative dictionary sense, contributing to the creation of a lyrical chronotope and landscape sketches. In this context, the meaning actualized in the literary text may deviate from the dictionary lexical definition, such as in cases of personification and periphrastic renamings like 'twilight witch' or 'twi­light monk.' 2) Figurative and symbolic meanings in poetry become notably prominent dur­ing the Silver Age. This period witnesses an enrichment of the conventional semantics, with vari­ous "extensions" and transformations occurring when the term is used figuratively to charac­terize transitional states in the realms of the world, history, and consciousness. 3) Tropic con­texts prevail, showcasing the broadest syntagmatic and functional-semantic possi­bilities of the lexeme 'twilight' in Russian poetry. These contexts demonstrate the extensive range of fi­gurative applications and symbolic nuances associated with the term.
Energy Demand and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis in Mongolia: A LEAP Model Application
Authors: Namkhainyam Tsolmon , Ovgor Bavuudorj , Damiran Ulemj
Published: February 2024

The energy system of Mongolia faces two challenges to meet domestic energy demand and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Electricity and heat in Mongolia are generated mainly by coal-fired combined heat and power plants. Despite a low share of global greenhouse gas emissions, Mongolia is experiencing an increase in greenhouse gas emissions per capita. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions scenario of the energy system. The analysis employed the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) to model the energy generation mix and scenarios up to 2050. The analysis utilizes 2018 as the base year and builds on a set of forty-nine mitigation measures identified by the Government of Mongolia. Implementation of these measures is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 21.5 million tonnes of CO2-eq by 2030 and 36.5 million tonnes of CO2-eq  by 2050 compared to the baseline.

After outlining the literature context on the transformation of rural areas, this paper briefly describes the research and results in Szeklerland.
Footprints of Nanocarrier on multi drug resistance therapy
Authors: Aher Sayali , Pathan Afsar , Jain Pankaj , Yadav Shreyash , Ahire Eknath
Published: February 2024

As it is commonly recognized, the phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR) is increasingly prevalent on a global scale, posing significant challenges in the realm of treatment. MDR refers to a condition where resistance to various medications, which may differ in their chemical composition and mode of action, arises due to the presence of numerous mechanisms. In response to multidrug resistance (MDR), developing technologies in the field of nanotechnology, particularly Nanocarrier, are being utilized as counteractive measures. Nanocarrier refers to biodegradable materials that are employed in the field of drug delivery. Their primary function is to improve the solubility of medications that have low solubility, boosting their bioavailability. Additionally, nanocarriers enable the timed release of drugs and facilitate the accurate targeting of specific areas inside the body. Nanocarriers exhibit a diverse range of morphologies and dimensions, encompassing nanofibers, nanocomposites, nanoparticles, and nanotubes. These nanocarriers can be administered through injection, subcutaneous delivery, or intramuscular administration. In this review article, we focus on different nanocarriers and their use in MDR.

Parlament als Bühne
Authors: Heinze Anna-Sophie
Published: February 2024

Die AfD ist die erste (populistische) Rechtsaußenpartei in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, der der Einzug in alle 16 Landtage, den Bundestag sowie das Europäische Parlament gelang. Bis heute gibt es keine „Zauberformel“ im Umgang mit ihr, wenngleich die anderen Parteien mit der Zeit viel über ihre parlamentarische Arbeitsweise und populistische Funktionslogik gelernt haben. Ein Grund dafür liegt darin, dass die AfD das Parlament als Bühne nutzt, um sich – auch und vor allem außerhalb der Parlamente – als Opfer der „Altparteien“ und als einzige „wahre Opposition“ zu inszenieren. Dazu arbeitet sie mit gezielten Provokationen und bricht formelle sowie informelle parlamentarische Spielregeln.

La trata de menores sin referentes familiares y nacionales de terceros países que huyen de Ucrania:
Authors: Gómez Hernández Marina
Published: February 2024

Este artículo se centra en el análisis de las respuestas de la Unión Europea, y en concreto de España, a la llegada de menores sin referentes familiares que huyen por el conflicto en Ucrania y que son víctimas de trata en sus múltiples vertientes. Dado que la escala y la naturaleza potencialmente duradera del conflicto conllevan dificultades para llevar a cabo respuestas integrales de protección - desde una perspectiva jurídica y política-, este estudio pretende servir a los esfuerzos de las partes tratando de proporcionar una visión general de las cuestiones clave a considerar en el abordaje de protección en relación a esta flagrante vulneración de derechos humanos. El artículo comienza explicando las diferentes circunstancias y situaciones de vulnerabilidad en las que esta infancia que huye de Ucrania está llegando a España, para después analizar hasta qué punto la Directiva de Protección Temporal - recientemente activada – y el derecho de asilo podrían ser instrumentos efectivos - y complementario a la Directiva 2011/36 contra la trata – para la protección de esta infancia desde un enfoque de infancia. Se demostrará que este enfoque resulta efectivo para la protección de estas/o niñas/os. También se propondrán medidas para la concreción de un marco protector específico en España para garantizar que la/os menores son considerada/os siempre menores antes que extranjera/os.
La relativización de la prueba ilícita en el proceso penal español
Authors: Martínez Martínez Pablo
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this paper is to examine the most relevant controversy in the field of evidential unlawfulness: its relativizing trend in our case law. To do so, we will proceed to the individualised study of three rulings, namely 81/1998 and 97/2019, of the Constitutional Court, and 116/2017 of the Supreme Court. In this way, we will not only be able to interpret their theories but also justify their changes, in order to provide a general overview of a problem that is increasingly threatening our criminal proceedings.

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto examinar la controversia más relevante en materia de ilicitud probatoria: su tendencia relativizadora en nuestra jurisprudencia. Para ello, se procederá al estudio individualizado de tres sentencias; a saber, las 81/1998 y 97/2019, del Tribunal Constitucional, y la 116/2017, del Tribunal Supremo. Se logrará con ello no sólo interpretar sus teorías, sino también justificar sus mudanzas, a fin de aportar una panorámica general acerca de una problemática que, cada vez más, amenaza nuestro proceso penal.

Published: February 2024

The present paper investigates African stock markets’ linkages by considering stocks in the continent’s largest economies, specifically Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tunisia. Using a dataset that spanned November 25, 2008, to September 18, 2023, the quantile connectedness approach of Chatziantoniou et al. (2021) is employed, and the results unfold these interesting dynamics of African market connectivity: (i) In the bearish market phase, South African stock dominated the entire network, transmitting shocks to the remaining stocks, while Moroccan and Kenyan stocks played similar role mildly. (ii) In the bullish market phase, Nigerian stock dominated the market as a major net transmitter of shock supported by South African and Kenyan stock markets. (iii), The Egyptian and Tunis stock markets are net shock receivers in both the bear and bull market phases. (iv), At the median quantile value, stocks become less riskier and the Kenyan stock market becomes the most vulnerable while Nigerian, Egyptian, and South African stock markets are influenced by other stock markets when markets are calm. (v), Though, African stocks are underperforming, interested portfolio managers will learn from the trading strategies to be adopted to maximize their returns. These findings will benefit portfolio managers, international stakeholders, and regulators.

Hand injuries are common, and due to the complex functions of the hand, soft tissue defects present a surgical challenge in reconstruction. Hand defects exposing deeper structures warrant reconstruction with local flaps, but in Denmark, reconstruction surgery of the hand is routinely managed within the orthopaedic specialty alone with no plastic surgical involvement. This review aims at describing the most common local flaps of the hand and forearm and encourage to stronger collaboration between hand- and plastic surgeons in Denmark.

This paper aims to explore the feasibility of AI in the field of children’s painting education and to design AI-assisted applications to guide children’s painting. The group selected Liu Yichen, the younger brother of the group member Swan, as the research subject, and selected six of his paintings. Through interviews, we learned about his creative intentions and the details that he failed to complete due to his own limitations. Then, through AI technology, we would conduct image processing experiments on the six selected paintings (some are dominated by keywords, some are not). Finally, we would feed back the generated works to Liu Yichen, and found out through interviews whether these works meet his expectations and whether they can stimulate him to further creation. At the same time, Liu Yichen’s relatives, friends, and strangers will evaluate Liu Yichen’s original works and AI works through questionnaires to test the feasibility of applying AI painting to children’s painting. The results obtained from the interview of the experimental subject Liu and the questionnaire of friends, relatives and strangers showed positive results. However, 12 per cent of the strangers showed extremely negative attitudes in the questionnaire. Therefore, the study concluded that the integration of AI into early art education is highly feasible in today’s market. However, in the face of the arrival of AI, we still need to leave a buffer period for human society, so as to realize the symbiosis between human and technology in a more peaceful way.
