Lived Citizenship: A New Framework for Studying State-Society Relations
Authors: Sobhy Hania
Published: November 2024

Citizenship has become a key concept for studying the relationship between individuals and the state. The notion of lived citizenship, in particular, highlights how the rights and obligations of citizenship are lived differently based on race, gender, class and other markers of social difference. However, much of the existing scholarship remains rooted in global North contexts, with limited attention to the realities of living under weak institutions. This research note builds on critical citizenship studies and foundational works on citizenship in the global South to offer an original conceptual framework for studying lived citizenship. It starts with a rethinking of the classical division of civil, social and political rights of citizenship into four fields of relating to the state: protection, provision, participation and belonging. It then illustrates how our experiences of these four fields are structured by four interconnected elements: social locations, relations, practices, and emotions. It conceptualizes these four fields and elements in ways that address dynamics of informality, clientelism, extralegal violence and authoritarianism that often mediate the relationship with the state in the global South. By bridging key theoretical and empirical gaps, this conceptualization offers new insights for organizing our inquiry into citizenship as lived and contested across the globe.
Provincialising platform citizenship: Citizen participation in and through civic platforms
Authors: Cardullo Paolo , Kitchin Rob
Published: November 2024

Commercial digital platforms possess a universal design and interface regardless ofcities or particular political-cultural traditions. This is also the case for corporatelyowned platforms designed to facilitate citizen engagement in civic issues. In contrast,civic platforms rooted in a FOSS approach are configurable and can be adapted incontext to produce tailored interactions. In this paper, we examine what thisadaptability means for citizenship when citizens can be involved in the making andrunning of platforms, and can take an active role in city governance using civicplatforms. We revisit the analytical framework developed by Cardullo and Kitchin(2019a) – the scaffold of smart citizen participation – to consider the platformisation ofurban living designed to empower citizens to take an active role in management andgovernance processes and decision-making. In particular, we focus on the scaffold’sleast explored rungs, ‘citizen power’, providing a comparative analysis of instances ofDecidim, a civic platform designed to engender collaborative governance, along with itsassociated soft infrastructure, in Barcelona, New York and Brazil. We highlight howdifferent instances of the same platform can confer different citizenship relationsdepending on how it is framed, configured and used. In other words, platformcitizenship is provincialized, enabling alternative futures to emerge from mainstreamknowledge claims about citizens’ role in platform urbanisation.
Does political trust strengthen democracy?
Authors: Kołczyńska Marta , Bürkner Paul - Christian
Published: November 2024

Political trust is widely considered essential for democracy, but empirical evidence testing this hypothesis remains limited. Building on research on political trust as related to democratic legitimacy and on trust’s attitudinal and behavioral consequences, we formulate expectations about longitudinal effects of political trust on democracy. Our primary hypothesis is that political trust has a positive effect on subsequent changes in democratic quality, but only in countries that have already achieved some level of democracy. To test this hypothesis, we employ Bayesian latent trend analysis to estimate a time series of political trust for 62 countries over 30 years. We fit lagged variable models to the trust time series combined with democracy measures from the Varieties of Democracy project and economic indicators. We find little evidence of an overall effect of trust on democracy, and stronger evidence for a positive effect among already democratic countries.

Regional Response to the Taliban’s Return to Power
Authors: Saikal Amin
Published: November 2024

This chapter offers an overview of how regional states and major powers have responded to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Afghanistan’s internal and external settings have historically and inextricably been influenced by competing interests of regional and international players. This paradigm has not drastically changed since the Taliban’s reassumption of power following the retreat of U.S. and allied forces from the country in August 2021. Afghanistan’s neighbours and major powers, along with the rest of the global community, have not found it politically and ethically expedient to accord formal recognition to the Taliban’s de facto government. However, they have made certain adjustments in their attitudes toward it, based on two imperatives. One is to ensure that the Taliban’s ideological and empirical extremism does not affect their national situations; the other is that they are in a position to advance their individual interests vis-à-vis one another when desirable or required. This is the context in which Afghanistan’s neighbours and major powers have conducted their policies towards it under the Taliban.
Erosion of Women’s Rights by the Taliban: Long-Term Consequences
Authors: Ahmadi Belquis
Published: November 2024

August 2021 marked the formal end of the long conflict between the Taliban, the Republic, and NATO. But since then, the Taliban have begun to wage war of another kind against the fundamental rights and liberties of women, girls, and dissenters who oppose their ideology and lifestyle. Under the guise of sharia law, the Taliban have relegated women to second-class citizens, stripping away their autonomy and making them dependent on charities for survival and on male blood relatives to go outside their homes to access services or simply go to hospital and markets. This chapter examines the evolving status of women and girls since August 2021, assessing risks and avenues for change. Despite facing grave dangers, countless individuals continue to bravely advocate for girls’ education, enduring persecution and brutality.
Intra-Afghan Dialogue: Prospects and Challenges
Authors: Baheer Obaidullah
Published: November 2024

This chapter explores the prospects and challenges of approaching a national dialogue and an inclusive government in Afghanistan under the Taliban’s rule in the context of international demands and internal dynamics. Highlighting the significance of inclusivity for recognition by the global community, including Russia and China, it considers the extent to which such a government can feasibly be achieved through intra-Afghan dialogue, given the Taliban’s history and ideology. Despite initial promises, the formation of a Taliban-exclusive interim government raises questions about the movement’s sincerity and the potential for genuine inclusivity. This article further considers the implications of the Taliban’s approach to governance, the drafting of a new constitution, and the role of civil society in fostering democratic governance. Finally, it surveys the pathways to a national dialogue, addressing the challenges of meaningful inclusivity and the international community’s role in facilitating constructive engagement.
La reivindicación del pensamiento y acción éticos (Kant y Rawls)
Authors: Islas Azaïs Suzanne
Published: November 2024

Islas Azaïs, Suzanne. La reivindicación del pensamiento y acción éticos (Kant y Rawls). El presente trabajo se divide en dos secciones: en la primera de ellas busco señalar la influencia de Immanuel Kant en la obra de John Rawls —y, por tanto, en la filosofía contemporánea, como habrá de verse—; mientras que, en la segunda, desarrollo de manera propositiva una concepción de la libertad que, a su vez, me permita destacar algunos aspectos de la filosofía kantiana que considero importantes si hemos de pensar la viabilidad y el futuro de las sociedades democráticas. Así, la reflexión me conduce de Rawls a Kant, y después el propio Kant me llevará más allá de Rawls.
Teoría de la justicia: ¿insuficientemente igualitaria? Un análisis desde la interpretación democrática de John Rawls
Authors: Salas Restrepo Jaider Javier
Published: November 2024

Salas Restrepo, Jaider Javier. Teoría de la justicia: ¿insuficientemente igualitaria? Un análisis desde la interpretación democrática de John Rawls. En este trabajo realizo un análisis crítico del papel que desempeñan los bienes primarios dentro del segundo principio de justicia, buscando identificar una de las razones por las cuales la interpretación democrática es insuficiente para hablar de igualdad. Sostengo que la justa igualdad de oportunidades no dependerá, en última instancia, de la igualdad en las expectativas de éxito de aquellos que cuentan con los mismos activos naturales desarrollados, sino de la capacidad de la estructura básica de la sociedad para hacer frente a una estratificación de estos últimos; lo cual se traduce en desigualdades en los niveles remunerativos de los empleos en los que pueden aplicarse las capacidades y talentos desarrollados por los individuos. Tal argumento parte de reconocer la importancia que debe suscitar la idea de “acervo común” en el marco de la teoría rawlsiana.

Authors: Al-Hamzi Mohsen Ali
Published: November 2024

Tooth loss is a prevalent global health issue. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly 7% of individuals aged 20 or older have complete tooth loss, increasing to 23% for those aged 60 or older. Fixed partial dentures (FPDs) are a common restorative option but often face failure.

Aim: This study investigated factors contributing to FPD failure in Yemeni patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 208 FPD failure cases from 117 patients. Clinical examination, periodontal probing, and radiographic assessment were performed. Data on biological, mechanical, and aesthetic failures were collected.

Results: Biological factors accounted for 75% of failures, followed by aesthetic (18%) and mechanical (7%). The primary biological contributors were poor oral hygiene, periodontal problems, and food impaction. The most common mechanical failures were prosthesis fractures and dislodgements. Shade mismatch was the primary aesthetic issue.

Conclusion: FPD failures in Yemeni patients were primarily attributed to biological factors, emphasizing the importance of oral hygiene and periodontal health maintenance. Addressing these factors is crucial for the long-term success of FPDs.
The Morbidity and Mortality Review: A crucial tool for improving patient safety and quality
Authors: Abdallah Abdulkarim
Published: November 2024

Institutional mortality rates can be used to monitor the quality of hospital care. Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) review is crucial to the hospital’s quality and patient safety initiatives.

A multi-disciplinary forum to discuss M&M better lends itself to the discussion that balances physician error and system failure. It is crucial to afford attendees opportunities for introspection/reflection while holding those responsible accountable without apportioning blame.

This review was undertaken at the M&M conference conducted by the Department of Surgery at The Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi, a tertiary teaching and referral hospital. All surgical residents and faculty attend the M&M conference. A standard reporting format is used for every case discussed at the departmental level and shared at the institutional level.

Morbidities and Mortalities that are analyzed as being due to a system or administrative process failure or having potential medico-legal implications are subjected to a Root Cause Analysis.

Recommendations from individual cases focus on measures that can prevent similar outcomes or adverse incidents or improve the care processes provided to this group of patients. These recommendations should resist the temptation to apportion blame to individuals. The department needs to construct the meetings to integrate the system and administrative issues underlying unexpected outcomes and discuss technical/clinical-related issues.

Physicians who feel they work in a ‘safe’ environment are likelier to self-report events and offer them for discussion.

Authors: GALINDO JADSON MENDONÇA , GONDIM RENATA MELO
Published: November 2024

A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa, grave, causada pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis, porém curável em praticamente 100% dos casos novos, desde que tratada devidamente (BRASIL, 2011). Apesar de ser uma doença muito antiga ainda é considerada um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, sendo tratada principalmente nos serviços municipais de saúde (TARANTINO, 1997). A avaliação em saúde tem sido utilizada nos serviços principalmente através do acompanhamento de indicadores que sinalizam a qualidade da atenção oferecida pelos serviços de saúde no que tange à vigilância epidemiológica e à prevenção da doença (GAZETTA, et al., 2008 e OLIVEIRA, 2010). Objetivo: avaliar as ações de controle de contatos de casos de tuberculose desenvolvidas pela rede pública do município do Jaboatão dos Guararapes – PE, Brasil. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de caso, transversal, avaliativo, tendo como objeto e unidade de análise as unidades de saúde (atenção primária e secundária) que examinam os contatos de pacientes de tuberculose. Para tanto, foi realizada uma avaliação normativa das dimensões da estrutura, do processo de trabalho e resultados para definição do grau de adequação. Foram avaliadas 98 unidades de saúde, distribuídas nas sete regionais de saúde, divididas conforme nível de complexidade no atendimento, 93 unidades de saúde de atenção primária (USF e UBS), com cobertura de 58,8% da população, no nível primário de atenção, e cinco policlínicas que desenvolvem o atendimento de nível de atenção secundário. Resultados: Nas unidades visitadas, 38 (80,8%) enfermeiros e nove (19,2%) médicos foram entrevistados. A mediana do tempo de trabalho dos profissionais entrevistados foi de 19 meses. O tempo mínimo foi de um mês e o máximo de 360 meses. A mediana, em anos, do tempo de implantação das unidades foi de 12, variando entre um e 34 anos. Das 98 US existentes no município em 2019, 20 (20,4%) identificaram casos novos de tuberculose, registrando os contatos, contudo, sem examiná-los, caracterizando-as à priori como “Não adequadas”. A rede apresenta fragilidade na adequação quanto à estrutura, processo e resultados da atenção ofertada.  O Grau de Adequação (GA) referente às ações de controle dos contatos de casos de Tuberculose foi considerado “parcialmente adequado”. Conclusões: a persistência de índices elevados de casos novos de tuberculose está relacionada ao grau de adequação das ações desenvolvidas no município. Todos os níveis de gestão devem proporcionar momentos sistemáticos de avaliação em saúde para melhoria na organização das ações de controle dos contatos de casos índice de tuberculose pulmonar para o planejamento da assistência ofertada à população.
RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA FRENTE A UMA PACIENTE COM POLIPOSE ADENOMATOSA FAMILIAR (PAF)
Authors: GONDIM RENATA , GALINDO JADSON
Published: November 2024

A polipose adenomatosa familiar (PAF) é uma doença hereditária, autossômica dominante, com penetrância próxima de 100%. Sua incidência é de aproximadamente 1 em 16000 nascidos vivos, sendo responsável por menos de 1% dos casos de câncer colorretal. Os pólipos estão presentes em 50% das pessoas até os 15 anos de idade e em 95% das pessoas até os 35 anos de idade. Em praticamente todas as pessoas não tratadas, os pólipos se desenvolvem em câncer do intestino grosso ou do reto antes dos 40 anos de idade. A PAF se manifesta pela presença de numerosos pólipos adenomatosos com aumento do risco de neoplasias malignas em topografias além do intestino grosso, como duodenais, ampulares e gástricas. Estes pólipos podem estar presentes vários anos antes do aparecimento dos sintomas, fato que ratifica a importância de investigação precoce dos familiares de pacientes acometidos pela doença. O rastreio desta patologia é realizado de duas formas, por meio de endoscopia e testes genéticos. A colonoscopia ou sigmoidoscopia flexível com presença de 10 ou mais pólipos já evidencia uma forte suspeita, entretanto, só é possível diagnosticar definitivamente a partir dos testes genéticos. A maioria dos pacientes com PAF é submetida à colectomia profilática. A decisão pelo tipo de cirurgia a ser realizada se dá por uma série de fatores, como o efeito preventivo da operação, o impacto pós-operatório na qualidade de vida, a idade do paciente, a distribuição dos pólipos e outras eventuais comorbidades. Objetivos: Relatar a experiência vivenciada por enfermeiros da clínica cirúrgica do Hospital das Clínicas de PE (HC-UFPE) frente a uma paciente jovem com uma doença rara e limitante. Método: Trata-se de um trabalho descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, vivenciado por enfermeiros durante a assistência de enfermagem. Resultados: Durante o período do internamento foi possível avaliar a paciente M.T.S, 31 anos, portadora de PAF, com conhecimento do diagnóstico desde 2019, previamente já tendo realizada algumas cirurgias como: proctocolectomia total, confecção de ileostomia e gastroduodenopancreatectomia, todas com o objetivo de retirar alguns pólipos com indicativo de malignidade. Identificamos na sistematização da assistência de enfermagem, diagnósticos como: Ansiedade, Risco para desequilíbrio de volume de líquidos e dor. Após as intervenções realizadas e o cuidado holístico da equipe podemos perceber melhora no humor, no desequilíbrio do volume e da dor. Paciente teve alta com orientações para retorno e acompanhamento com a equipe. Conclusão: É importante o conhecimento abrangente da patologia para que reflita em uma assistência adequada e individualizada da enfermagem.

Authors: TABOSA QUIXABEIRA CARINA GLEICE , LEITE MACIEL LUISE HELENA
Published: November 2024

A humanização busca colocar o paciente no centro do cuidado, respeitando sua individualidade, autonomia e dignidade. Dentro desse paradigma, a música tem emergido como uma poderosa ferramenta terapêutica capaz de promover uma abordagem sensível ao enfrentamento da hospitalização. Objetivos. Relatar a experiência vivida no projeto de extensão “O Caminho” no Hospital das Clínicas de Pernambuco, com abordagem humanizada para pacientes hospitalizados através da música. Relato da experiência. Durante o ano de 2023, no período de Abril a Julho, às atividades do projeto ocorreram nas enfermarias do Alojamento Conjunto, da Clínica Médica e da Enfermaria de Oncologia, conscientes dos desafios emocionais e psicológicos enfrentados por esses pacientes, os extensionistas decidiram implementar sessões musicais como forma de humanizar o processo de enfrentamento da internação. Cada ação começava com uma seleção de músicas, escolhidas com base nas preferências dos pacientes. Desde clássicos reconfortantes até melodias contemporâneas, foram criadas playlists diversificadas que pudessem ressoar em cada indivíduo de forma única. Para alguns pacientes, a música serviu como uma distração bem-vinda, permitindo-lhes escapar temporariamente das preocupações e desconfortos associados à hospitalização. Para outros, foi uma fonte de conforto e consolo, oferecendo uma conexão emocional. As intervenções serviram como catalisadoras para a expressão emocional, encorajando os pacientes a compartilharem suas histórias e sentimentos de uma forma que talvez não teriam sido capazes de fazer de outra maneira. À medida que o projeto avançava, foi possível testemunhar os efeitos positivos da abordagem humanizada através da música. Os relatos de melhora no humor, no bem-estar emocional e até mesmo na recuperação física reforçam o valor inestimável dessa intervenção. Reflexão sobre a experiência. A experiência demonstrou que a música não é apenas uma forma de entretenimento, mas sim uma ferramenta poderosa para promover a humanização no contexto da saúde, sendo capaz de oferecer conforto, esperança e dignidade para aqueles que enfrentam os desafios da hospitalização. Conclusões: Este projeto tem como objetivo primordial promover a humanização no ambiente hospitalar, tornando o cuidado com os pacientes não apenas técnico, mas também empático e acolhedor. A humanização não deve ser vista como uma opção, mas sim como um imperativo ético e moral que deve guiar todas as interações e decisões dentro do ambiente de saúde. Portanto, devem ser estimuladas a continuidade e a expansão de iniciativas que promovam a abordagem sensível do enfrentamento da hospitalização reconhecendo o potencial transformador da música e outras formas de expressão artística no cuidado à saúde.

This research applied development research design with the PLOMP approach developed by Tjeerd Plomp. The stages of development using the PLOMP approach include preliminary investigation, product design, construction, testing, and implementation. The population in this research were all ten-grade students at a vocational high school. The research sample consisted of 16 students in the experimental class and 14 students in the control class. These students were selected randomly using the cluster random sampling technique. The instruments utilized in the study included assessments by media experts, questionnaires for students and teachers, and pretest and posttest evaluations of mathematical understanding. The instruments given to media experts is used to validate the Kanoma media and its content. The questionnaires for students and teachers were used to test the practicality of the developed Kanoma media. These quistionnaires gathered feedback on how easy and useful the media was in a classroom setting. The pretest and posttest were designed to measure students’ understanding of mathematical concepts related to finding the roots of quadratic equations. The average value given by material experts from the two validators of Kanoma’s media is 0.82. The average value given by media experts from the two validators is 0.90. The results show that the Kanoma media was categorized as “very valid” by both material and media experts. This indicates that media was suitable for use by class X students in senior high school. Kanoma media is also classified as practical based on the average percentage of student and teacher responses. The responses from students scored 73%, categorized as “practice”. The responses from teachers scored 81%, categorized as “very practice.” Kanoma media is effective based on the Mann-Whitney Asyptotic Sig. (0.002) <α (0.05). The results showed a significant improvement in mathematical understanding. Students who used the Kanoma media had a better grasp of the mathematical concepts than those who did not.

Authors: Irawan Edi , Rosjanuardi Rizky , Prabawanto Sufyani
Published: November 2024

This systematic research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of analysis related to the use of programming in the development of Computational Thinking (CT), especially in the context of education from primary to tertiary levels. This study analyzed 88 articles from empirical studies related to the use of programming to develop CT sourced from the Scopus database. The analysis process followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and consisted of three stages: search, selection, and data analysis. Descriptive and thematic statistical approaches were used for data analysis. Instruments used in the selection of articles included Rayyan for screening based on inclusion criteria, as well as Microsoft Excel for coding and thematic analysis. The results showed that articles related to the use of programming to promote CT have appeared since 2011 but have increased significantly since 2016, with an annual growth rate of 17.6%. Most studies used quantitative approaches, followed by qualitative and mixed methods. Overall, 270 authors from 27 countries contributed to the study, with the United States having the highest number of publications. A total of 33 programming tools were identified, with Scratch being the most widely used tool, followed by Blockly, LEGO, Scratch Jr., Code.org, Python, Alice, App Inventor, Kodu, R, MakeCode, and Arduino. Scratch Jr. is most commonly used at the early childhood education level, while programming languages such as Python, R, and MATLAB are more commonly used in higher education. The implications of these findings suggest that the trend of using programming tools such as Scratch and Blockly has the potential to influence CT teaching strategies in the classroom, as well as the importance of using varied programming tools in efforts to integrate CT into the education curriculum.

Authors: Korchi Ayoub , Karim Khachouch Mohamed , Lakhrisi Younes
Published: November 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach for multi-platform mobile app development. We introduce a UML-based metamodel that encapsulates essential mobile app elements, including views, controls, resources, and events. Our approach leverages the Acceleo code generation tool to transform Platform Independent Models (PIMs) adhering to this metamodel into platform-specific source code. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through a case study, generating Android user interface code from a sample PIM. The results show that our approach can significantly streamline the development process for multi-platform mobile apps, reducing the need for platform-specific coding. This work contributes to the field of model-driven mobile development by providing a flexible and extensible framework for automatic code generation across multiple mobile platforms.
Genome-Wide Analysis in the Study of the Fetal Growth Restriction Pathogenetics
Authors: Gavrilenko M. M. , Trifonova E. A. , Stepanov V. A.
Published: November 2024

Fetal growth restriction is a complication of pregnancy that defined as the inability of the fetus to realize its genetically determined growth potential. Despite the high social and medical significance of this problem the exact pathogenesis of fetal growth restriction is not known by now. Therefore, the analysis of the molecular genetics mechanisms of this pathology within the framework of approaches using modern high-performance technologies of next generation sequencing is of undoubted interest. In this review we focused on the analysis of data obtained in studies of the fetal growth restriction genetics component. The authors of these researches used next generation sequencing technologies and carried out whole transcriptome profiling. The results of the genes expression genome-wide analysis in placental tissue allow us to identify 1430 differentially expressed genes between fetal growth restriction and normal pregnancy, of which only 1% were found in at least two studies. These differentially expressed genes are involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway that plays an important role in cell migration, neural pattern formation and organogenesis during embryonic development. Common genes are associated with both obstetric and gynecological diseases, as well as with various somatic conditions from the groups of neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders, which probably reflects their involvement in the development of postnatal consequences of fetal growth restriction. The results of our work don‘t point only to potential molecular mechanisms and key genes underlying fetal growth restriction, but also indicate the important role of gene-gene communications in this pathology implementation: about 30% of all identified differentially expressed genes products interact with each other within the same gene network. In general, genome-wide RNA sequencing combined with the analysis of protein-protein interactions represents a promising direction in research on the development and functioning of the placenta, as well as the identification of placental insufficiency diseases genetics mechanisms, including fetal growth restriction.

The inter- and intra-specific structure of genetic variability was studied using 18 microsatellite loci (nSSRs) in closely related roburoid oaks in the Crimean-Caucasian region.The seven most widespread Quercus taxa in the region were studied in 29 morphologically pure populations from different parts of the North Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Crimea and northeastern Europe. Most taxa were studied using nSSR markers for the first time. Among the 492 trees studied, Bayesian clustering method implemented in STRUCTURE identified clusters corresponding to the pedunculate oak Quercus robur, the Hartwiss oak Q. hartwissiana, the Caucasian oak Q. macranthera, the downy oak Q. pubescens and three subspecies of sessile oak: Q. petraea ssp. petraea, Q. petraea ssp. iberica, Q. petraea ssp. medwediewii. Geographic structure was identified within Q. robur, Q. pubescens and Q. p. ssp. petraea. The 18 nSSR loci used are efficient in the taxonomic assignment of individuals, and identifying hybrids. The close relationship between the “long-pedunculate” roburoid oaks (Q. robur and Q. hartwissiana) is shown, with a greater difference from other species. For one of the subspecies of sessile oak, widespread in the North Caucasus and Crimea Q. petraea ssp. medwediewii (syn. Q. calcarea), or limestone oak, significant differences from other taxa were found, reaching the species level. The assumption of a possible hybrid origin of this taxon as a result of hybridization of Q. petraea and Q. pubescens is not confirmed by genetic analysis. The other two subspecies of Q. petraea (Q. p. ssp. petraea and Georgian oak Q. p. ssp. iberica) are differentiated to a lesser extent and are related to each other, which confirms the legitimacy of distinguishing two geographically isolated taxa at the rank of subspecies. The highest variability was observed in Q. pubescens (He = 0.777). In Q. p. ssp. medwediewii variability was lower than in other widespread taxa (He = 0.652), and was approximately at the level of variability of Q. hartwissiana (He = 0.633) and Q. macranthera (He = 0.659). Clear differentiation of taxa by nuclear markers shows the limited introgression in closely related oak species in the Caucasus and Crimea. The identified genetic clusters can be used as reference groups for further population genetic studies of oaks in the Crimean-Caucasian region.

In this study we present the results of a comparative genetic analysis of bees of the Apis mellifera caucasica subspecies with the subspecies A. m. carnica and A. m. mellifera. We performed polymorphism analysis of nine microsatellite loci (Ap243, 4a110, A24, A8, A113, A88, Ap049, A28, and A43) and determined the haplotypes of the tRNAleu-COII locus. Analysis of the genetic structure of representatives of three subspecies of honey bees, widespread in Russia, showed a significant level of their differentiation even when using a small set of microsatellite loci. An assessment of the prevalence of tRNAleu-COII haplotypes in the three studied samples showed that for A. m. caucasica the predominant haplotype was C2j.
Satisfaction of Russians with Different Aspects of Life: Ten-Year Trend Against the Background of Socio-Economic Crises
Authors: Latova Nataliya V.
Published: November 2024

The materials of the ten-year all-Russian monitoring by the Institute of Sociology of the Federal Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences are used to analyse the most important part of the subjective well-being of Russians – their satisfaction with various aspects of their lives. Particular attention is paid to changes associated with such events as the Crimean Spring, the coronavirus pandemic and the special operation in Ukraine. Each of these crises has affected Russians’ satisfaction with different aspects of their lives to varying degrees, but the crisis that began in 2022 has a number of unique features. Although the confrontation with the “collective West” has entered a phase of particular aggravation since this year, the socio-economic crisis associated with it is experienced by Russians much more easily than the similar crisis of 2014–2016. The dynamics of indicators in 2022–2024 demonstrates a qualitatively new phenomenon – the absence of protracted declines in indicators after the onset of a large-scale crisis. The sharp “surge” of emotional negativity in early 2022 was quickly overcome, Russian society consolidated, which was facilitated by the general positive changes in various spheres of life of Russians over the past decade. First of all, this concerns the characteristics related to the standard of living of Russians. At the same time, other characteristics of both the everyday life of the population and their employment, as well as those related to their provision with public goods, have also improved. However, it is too early to talk about significant positive changes in the quality of life of the mass strata. More noticeable improvement of satisfaction is observed in those spheres that are more closely connected with the efforts of the country’s citizens themselves, while the picture is less optimistic with those aspects that are more dependent on the state.
Public Perception of Climate Change Impact on Living Conditions in a Cold Region (the case of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia))

Based on the materials of a sociological study conducted in August-October 2023, the characteristics of the perception by residents of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) of changes in the local climate and natural environment are analyzed. Residents of the republic notice significant changes in the climate, such as shifts in the onset of seasons, changes in air temperature, precipitation levels, and windiness. The population is concerned about the increasing frequency and intensity of natural phenomena caused by climate change: wildfires, thawing permafrost, destruction of roads, increasing number of mosquitoes in summer and an increasing incidence of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza, ice on roads in winter. Local residents also notice appearance of new species of birds, insects, plants, animals and fish not typical for the region. Negative assessments of the impact of climate change on traditional agriculture in Yakutia predominate.

The composition and magnetic properties of foraminifers from bottom sediments of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and their artificial analogues obtained by hydrothermal synthesis have been studied. The presence of magnetic hysteresis and theoretical modeling of hysteresis characteristics made it possible to assume the presence of grains of nonstoichiometric magnetite in single and low-domain states.

Ferrihydrite nanoparticles have been synthesized and characterized. The dependences of the temperature increment of powders in the pumping mode by a high-frequency electromagnetic field in a constant magnetic field are studied. It is shown that the experimental dependence of the particle temperature on the dc magnetic field strength is in good agreement with the theory of ferromagnetic resonance for an isotropic superparamagnetic.
Elastic properties of a magnetic elastomer

Published: November 2024

Magnetoactive (aka magnetorheological) elastomer is a composite material consisting of an elastic matrix and magnetic filling substance. A study dedicated to the relationship between its viscoelastic parameters and the strength of the external magnetic field has been done. Under the influence of a field, the material can demonstrate elasticity and viscosity increased by ten folds. The elastic properties of the composite remaining under those conditions heavily depend on the degree of deformation of the sample. Thus, this type of magnetic composite is a prospective material for being used as the working body in controllable dampers.
