Published: July 2024

The effect of hot microclimate on psychomotor functions of employees For several years now, one of the most important harmful factors related to the work environment has been a hot microclimate. Additionally, due to climate changes, including an increase in the average air temperature, especially in summer, attention should be paid to people working in open spaces. Microclimate parameters affect not only on physiological responses of the human body, but also psychomotor efficiency, which translates into the number of errors made during work, and thus the safety of oneself and one's colleagues. The aim of the article is to indicate the impact of a hot microclimate (and so a high air temperature) on the psychomotor functions of workers. Expanding knowledge in this area may contribute to improving safety at work in hot microclimates. Keywords: air temperature, hot environment, hot microclimate, thermal load, psychomotor performance, cognitive function

Hábitos alimentares inadequados, sedentarismo e a maior expectativa de vida da população contribuem significativamente para a prevalência da síndrome metabólica. Essa doença predispõe uma pessoa a desenvolver diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e doenças cardiovasculares, as quais têm um amplo impacto na saúde pública, induzindo sobrecarga no sistema de saúde e reduzindo a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados. A síndrome metabólica é uma doença multifatorial e está relacionada ao processo de envelhecimento, contudo, ainda há uma lacuna significativa, em termos de estudos, sobre a prevalência da condição em populações idosas. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo objetivou rastrear a prevalência da síndrome metabólica em participantes da Universidade Aberta da Terceira Idade (UNATI), localizada em Francisco Beltrão, Paraná. Os critérios diagnósticos de síndrome metabólica abordados nesta pesquisa incluem: circunferência abdominal ≥ 90 cm para homens e ≥ 80 cm para mulheres, triglicerídeos ≥ 150 mg/dL, HDL ≤ 40 mg/dL para homens e ≤ 50 mg/dL para mulheres, pressão arterial sistólica ≥ 130 mmHg e/ou pressão arterial diastólica ≥ 85 mmHg ou estar em farmacoterapia para hipertensão, além de glicemia de jejum ≥ 100 mg/dL ou estar em tratamento farmacológico para diabetes. Um total de 44 idosos foram avaliados, apresentando uma média de idade de 66,9 ± 7,1 anos, com uma predominância de mulheres (88%). Os resultados revelaram uma prevalência alarmante de síndrome metabólica, atingindo 36,4% da amostra estudada. Além disso, observou-se uma alta prevalência de condições associadas, como hipertensão arterial (67,2%), sobrepeso (58,6%) e obesidade visceral (31%). Esses achados ressaltam a importância da implementação de medidas preventivas direcionadas à promoção da qualidade de vida saudável e ao controle dos fatores de risco metabólicos.

Objective Behavior Determination of the Crime of Obstructing Drug Administration
Authors: Bian Guojing
Published: July 2024

In order to further regulate the borderline behavior of drug crimes and protect the social public interest, the Amendment (XI) to the Criminal Law made a legislative response to this, adding a crime of interfering with drug administration after Article 142 of the Criminal Law. The appearance of this crime broke the traditional system which mainly harms human life and health and drug management order, and reconstructed the drug crime system. In the drug crime system, there are many views on the doctrinal study of the crime of interfering with drug administration, but on this basis, there are still some problems in the judicial determination of the crime of interfering with drug administration, which are also the focus of this paper. Under the background of the newly regulated drug crime system and the increase of the crime of interfering with drug administration, it is urgent to take the difficulties arising from the judicial application process as the important difficulty, which is mainly the identification of four kinds of illegal and interfering acts in its objective elements. This paper discusses the difficulty of identifying the crime in judicial practice, so as to provide some reference and guidance for the judicial practice of the crime of obstructing drug control in our country, so as to avoid the false judicature and misjudgment.

Published: July 2024

Исследуется сущностная составляющая такого уголовно-процессуального института, как право на защиту, в контексте получения квалифицированной юридической помощи на предмет соответствия такой помощи общепринятым стандартам качества, добросовестности адвоката по отношению к доверителю при исполнении своих обязанностей и функции в уголовном судопроизводстве. Посредством изучения судебной практики и отдельных правовых позиций Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с оценкой судом качества оказания адвокатом-защитником в ходе производства по уголовному делу юридической помощи обвиняемому. Отмечается, что грубые и систематические нарушения, допускаемые адвокатом-защитником в судебном разбирательстве, которые с большой долей очевидности не соответствуют существу уголовной защиты, не должны оставаться без должной реакции со стороны суда (судьи). Обосновывается вывод, что суду надлежит реагировать на некачественную помощь в том случае, когда нарушения, допускаемые адвокатом-защитником, носят умышленный характер.

The essence of such a criminal procedural institute as the right to de-fence is studied in the context of obtaining qualified legal assistance in terms of compli-ance of such assistance with generally accepted standards of quality, integrity of the lawyer in relation to the client in the performance of his duties and functions in criminal proceedings. Through the study of judicial practice and individual legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation the issues related to the assessment by the court of the quality of legal assistance rendered by the defence lawyer to the accused in the course of criminal proceedings are considered. It is noted that gross and systematic violations committed by the lawyer-defender in court proceedings, which with a high degree of obviousness do not correspond to the essence of criminal defence, should not remain without a proper response from the court (judge). The conclusion is substantiated that the court should react to poor-quality assistance in the case when the violations committed by the defence counsel are inten-tional in nature.

Menopause as Metamorphosis: The Meaning and Experience for Women of Well-being during the Menopausal Transition
Authors: McBride Hillary L.
Published: July 2024

Although a normally occurring developmental transition in the life of a woman, menopause has often been portrayed as a negative event with much of the research being focused on the physical aspects of this experience. Hermeneutic phenomenology (Van Manen, 1990), grounded in a theoretical framework of feminist phenomenology, was used to explore the following research question: What is the meaning and experience of doing well during the menopausal transition for women who were not in a committed relationship throughout the transition? In depth audio recorded interviews were conducted with 10 post-menopausal women who self-identified as doing well during the transition and were not in a committed relationship throughout the transition. Themes across participants are: 1) a sense of menopause as a physical non-event; 2) the importance of relationships and dialogue with other women; 3) a sense of freedom; 4) a sense of transitioning to another phase of life; and 5) menopause as metamorphosis. The findings and implications are discussed in light of the existing research and theory.

Interpretation of Euthanasia in the Buddhist Worldview
Authors: Ostrovskaya Helena P.
Published: July 2024

Religious interpretations of the moral aspect of euthanasia arouse serious scholarly interest in the problematic field of bioethics. The article is devoted to the explication of the Buddhist approach to the ethical assessment of euthanasia based on the material of Encyclopedia of Abhidharma with Commentary, an exegetical work by the famous educator Vasubandhu (4th–5th centuries) . A thematic analysis of the text reveals two different types of euthanasia discussed by Buddhist exegetes. One of them is characterized as the foreign practice of killing terminally ill parents in order to save them from severe suffering. In the context of the Buddhist worldview, this type of euthanasia belongs to the category of murders committed on the basis of ignorance. Killing is not a method of getting rid of suffering, because suffering is an attribute of samsara. Ignorant Gentiles do not understand the true difference between sin and virtue. By interrupting the lives of terminally ill parents, they commit the mortal transgression of killing a benefactor. Another type of euthanasia is described as a Buddhist ritual of premature end of life. The ritual is performed by an elderly arhat (the enlightened guardian of the Buddha’s teachings) when he has already prepared a worthy successor. An arhat interrupts his own life through a special mental method sanctified by the canonical tradition. This type of euthanasia was defined by Buddhist exegetes as a phenomenon of the domination of an enlightened person over life and death.
On Translating the Names of Harem Offices in Tang China (618–907) into Russian
Authors: Rybakov Viacheslav M.
Published: July 2024

Analysis and attempt to precisely translate the traditional Chinese administrative terms into Russian can be very interesting and fruitful for the understanding of the basic concepts of Chinese culture. Each title more or less explicitly encodes general ideas about the social functions of an institution or office and about the supposed ways to perform these functions. Of special interest are those cases when it is impossible to find a close Western functional analogue for the name and, therefore, it is impossible to simply replace the Chinese term with a Western one instead of trans­lati ng it. In cases cases, each name just was the function. The name is an extremely concise symbolic, allegorical description of the ideal concepts about the tasks that the state sets for this institution or official, and, at the same time, of the ideal concepts about the methods by which these tasks will be implemented. Having understood the name, we get an idea of both the task and the method. Interesting examples of such names are the positions of the female staff of the institution that we traditionally call the imperial harem.
CNA Insider's Documentary on China's Contradictory Actions towards Investing in Fossil Fuel Industries
Authors: Viswam Dr. Deepa
Published: July 2024

The research paper analyses the documentary series-China’s Contradiction: World’s Biggest Clean Energy Producer and Biggest Polluter?, produced by Channel News Asia (CNA) Insider, which highlighted China's efforts in increasing coal production, despite producing huge amounts of green energy. China has emerged as the world’s No.1 producer of solar energy in the world, by producing over 430 GW solar energy and is also the world's largest manufacturer of solar equipment, superseding other countries like the U.S.A., Germany, India, and Japan. In spite of being the largest producer of ‘clean’ energy, China has started constructing several coal power plants, to meet the country’s energy requirements, by directly contradicting its statement that it will peak emissions by 2030 and attain net zero by 2060. So the study adopts case study approach to decipher China’s efforts in its increased interest and investment in solar energy, and its reasons behind investing in coal plants as well, After analysis, it is concluded that China's ambitions in investing in the solar industry is for overall economic development, and the country is not yet ‘ready’ to become completely green because of its high dependence on coal for generating cheap electricity at all times of the year.
Implementing cardiac POCUS in obstetric patients during the preanesthetic period. Narrative review
Authors: Sabogal Rodolfo Carlos
Published: July 2024

During the preanesthetic assessment of the obstetric patient, it is critical to assess the patient’s cardiovascular baseline condition, identify any potential risks, and facilitate behavioral modification to develop an individualized management strategy aimed at minimizing complications. Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable instrument for assessing the morphology and function of the heart prior to surgery. Cardiac POCUS is not designed to replace comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography, which is the realm of cardiovascular anesthesiology and cardiology. However, when used in conjunction with anamnesis, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and previous laboratory results, cardiac POCUS is a valuable adjunct in the diagnostic toolbox of anesthesiologists. It allows for direct visualization of the heart and great vessels, with added benefits of speed, availability, and low risk for the patient. The purpose of this manuscript is to explore and describe the advantages of cardiac POCUS in the preanesthetic period of obstetric patients and its potential value for anesthesiologists through the identification of potentially hazardous conditions that may require individualized preoperative management.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of plyometric warm-up with different resistances as post activation potentiation stimulus on vertical jump performance. Fifteen athletes from short and middle distance branches of athletics who have been training regularly for at least 5 years and at least 5 days a week attended the study voluntarily. The athletes in this study were warmed up for 5 minutes at a speed of 8 km/h on a treadmill, followed by 5 minutes of passive rest. Completing 5 minutes of passive rest, the athletes were randomly sampled and any of the 50 lb, 60 lb, 70 lb, 80 lb resistance or non-resistance warm-up protocols consisting of 3 sets on the vertimax device were carried out. After warming up, 5 minutes of passive rest was given and then squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump tests were performed. Repeated measures ANOVA test was conducted in the analyses of the measurements of jump distance and power of the athletes participating in this study both without resistance and after the applied resistances. Significant differences were observed in SJ and CMJ values after PAP warm-up without and with resistance (p < .05). The height and power values of SJ after PAP warm-up with 70 lb and 80 lb resistance bands were found significantly higher than those without resistance (p < .05). Furthermore, the height and power values of CMJ after PAP warm-up with 80 lb resistance bands were found significantly higher than the values of warm-up without resistance (p < .05). In conclusion, even though an increase in jump height and power values was observed with each resistance increment, significant increases in power and height values as a PAP response were achieved at 70 and 80 lb resistance for SJ and 80 lb resistance for CMJ.

Published: July 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar e discutir as publicações acerca da Icterícia neonatal e para tal realizou-se uma revisão integrativa e utilizou informações obtidas em artigos indexados nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, SCIELO e IBECS, desde que nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, entre 2014-2024. Discussão e resultados: Na icterícia neonatal, ocorre uma hiperbilirrubinemia predominantemente indireta devido ao acúmulo de bilirrubina não conjugada, resultando na coloração amarelada da pele e das mucosas. A maioria dos recém-nascidos desenvolve essa condição na primeira semana de vida como parte do processo adaptativo ao metabolismo da bilirrubina. Embora geralmente seja uma condição benigna, em alguns casos, a bilirrubina indireta, por ser lipossolúvel, podendo se depositar no sistema nervoso central, levando à encefalopatia bilirrubínica. A identificação e a intervenção precoce da hiperbilirrubinemia neonatal são essenciais para prevenir complicações. A fototerapia é a abordagem terapêutica de escolha para o manejo da icterícia, demonstrando alta eficácia com os recursos atualmente disponíveis.

WASHINGTON’S LONG ROAD
TO THE PARTIAL TEST BAN TREATY
(1958–1963)
Authors: Setov Roman Aleksandrovich , Golubenko Anna Aleksandrovna
Published: July 2024

The conclusion of the 1963 Moscow Treaty banning nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, in outer space and under water is an important milestone in the history of the Cold War. It was preceded by long and complex negotiations between the USSR and the US. Measures to impose a moratorium on tests (August 1958 — August 1961) did not yield signifi cant results either in reducing harmful environmental consequences or in reducing the risk of nuclear conflict. In addition, the issue of at least partial test ban was closely linked to the political contradictions between the superpowers, in particular, regarding the status of Berlin. On 9 September 1961, the negotiations were stopped. In the fall, the USSR conducted a large series of explosions, and advances in weapons development required new tests. Moscow’s decision to withdraw from the moratorium was dictated by the desire to demonstrate to its opponents the readiness for any emergency. In 1962, the events around Cuba led not only to intensified testing by both powers, but also to the acute Cuban Missile Crisis in October, when the danger of using nuclear weapons became quite real. The August 1963 treaty was one of the immediate outcomes of the Cuban Missile Crisis. However, it is also important that the superpowers came to the signing of the Moscow Treaty only after their scientific and technological achievements (including, above all, the results of nuclear tests) had been able to ensure a confident strategic deterrence of each other. The tests of nuclear devices conducted by both powers in 1961 and 1962 allowed them to equip all types of carriers with warheads as part of their planned programs to renew strategic nuclear arsenals. At the same time, the Moscow Treaty created a basis for harmonizing the positions of the US and the USSR with regard to nuclear nonproliferation for many years to come.
FROM THE “RIGHT GERMAN” TO THE “KALININGRAD
PHILOSOPHER”: IMMANUEL KANT IN COMMEMORATIVE
PRACTICES AND MEMORY POLICY IN THE KALININGRAD
REGION (SOVIET PERIOD)

One of the key problems of the state historical policy in the Kaliningrad region during the Soviet period was related to the attitude to the local pre-war historical and cultural heritage, it was partly the memory of the life and activities of the outstanding philosopher and educator Immanuel Kant. The purpose of this article is to identify the prerequisites, factors and stages of integration of Kant’s name and image into the regional culture of memory and commemorative activity. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the commemoration of the philosopher is first considered throughout the Soviet period of the region’s history. In the first post-war decade, the key condition for the formation of Kant’s commemoration traditions in the young Soviet region was ensured, that is, his tomb was preserved and taken under state protection in the mid-1950s. It became a place of attraction for Kaliningrad residents and guests of the city. In the 1960s–1970s, the philosopher’s grave was included in excursion routes and tourist guides, respect for his memory was used as an argument in the propaganda system, a tradition of scientific study of Kant’s heritage was formed in the region, and Kaliningrad State University became a center of such research. Under strict restrictions on the study and popularization of pre-war history, Kantian topics were perceived by a part of local intelligentsia as an allowed opportunity to share the “secrets” of the German past of the Kaliningrad land. At the same time, the position of regional authorities was characterized by contradictions, and initiatives to commemorate the philosopher were repeatedly met with resistance instigated by the regional committee of the CPSU. In the years of perestroika Kant’s image was perceived as a “bridge” connecting epochs and cultures. The work on the preparation of restoring the monument to the philosopher began, the plans of the regional branch of the Soviet Culture Fund included a “Kantian” programme of events, Kant became a character in the first popular narratives about the prewar history of the region. The process of integration of the “outstanding ‘fellow countryman’”, “Kaliningrad philosopher” into the regional culture by the end of the Soviet period was considerably accelerated.

Understanding how to manage the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a surface has been the focus of a lot of research in recent years. The surface's energy often controls its hydrophobic state. There are numerous techniques to realize a change in the surface energy. Smart nano-based materials are being used to create super hydrophobic coatings that will serve as layers of defence against mechanical abrasion, corrosion, and fouling agents on the surface of metallic components. These coatings, which have recently gained popularity, have shown to be excellent choices for protecting steel pipelines. The recently created super hydrophobic coatings for glass surfaces, papers, cotton, steel pipes, etc., are examined in-depth and critically in this review study, emphasizing their use in different industries. It explains how to create super hydrophobic coatings on glass substrates using various techniques and the most recent research results on various coating production techniques. An in-depth discussion is also given to the recent applications of these created super hydrophobic coatings for treatments, including anti-bio fouling, dicing, and corrosion prevention over the past five years. According to the literature, spraying is the most adaptable and popular technique for creating super hydrophobic coatings for any substrate.

Published: July 2024

Este estudio presenta un esquema de generación de certificados de firma electrónica avanzada implementado en la Universidad Católica de Cuenca. El objetivo principal es fortalecer la seguridad en las transacciones electrónicas, optimizar la gestión de documentos digitales y reducir la dependencia de recursos físicos mediante la automatización de procesos. La metodología utilizada se basa en la combinación de algoritmos criptográficos SHA-256 y RSA 2048, con el estándar PKCS#1 v1.5 para la creación de un criptosistema de clave pública seguro y eficiente. Se llevaron a cabo pruebas exhaustivas para evaluar la robustez del esquema propuesto, incluyendo análisis de vulnerabilidades, simulaciones de ataques de fuerza bruta y resistencia a colisiones. Los resultados demostraron que el sistema es capaz de generar certificados válidos y seguros, con una alta resistencia a ataques. En una prueba de ataque de fuerza bruta, se logró determinar la contraseña del archivo PKCS#12 tras 1.950.258 intentos en 21 minutos, lo que resalta la importancia de contraseñas fuertes para la protección de certificados. Las conclusiones subrayan los beneficios de la implementación de firmas electrónicas en términos de autenticidad, no repudio e integridad de los documentos. Además, destacan la eficiencia operativa y la reducción del uso de papel, promoviendo un entorno de trabajo más sostenible. La incorporación de este esquema en la Universidad Católica de Cuenca no solo mejora la seguridad de las transacciones electrónicas, sino que también facilita la automatización del flujo de trabajo y la gestión documental, asegurando la integridad y autenticidad de los documentos en el entorno académico digital.
