Introduction. The main demographic indicators in the country depend on the characteristics of the reproductive behavior of today’s children and adolescents. Sex education, usually realized in the family, plays a key role in the formation of reproductive behavior, and should not only be timely but also informative, which cannot be achieved without the health care system support. Aim. To determine trends in the reproductive behavior of adolescent girls and the degree of involvement of medical professionals in the process of sex education for girls and adolescent girls. Materials and methods. An anonymous survey was conducted among 400 girls aged 15 to 18 years (average age 16.3 years) who had applied to the Clinical Center for Family Health and Reproduction, and of 34 obstetrician-gynecologists providing care to minors. Results. According to the survey results, to maintain reproductive and sexual health, adolescent girls need information and comprehensive preventive education on reproductive health issues which will give them the knowledge and skills to determine their behavior. According to estimates of obstetrician-gynecologists, there is a popular request for online consultation of parents of girls and adolescent girls on issues of reproductive health and behavior, but doctors do not always have the opportunity to render this type of consultation, although they consider these measures one of the ways for the reproductive health promotion of children and adolescents. Conclusion. The development of an electronic resource containing prevention-focused information on reproductive behavior and health issues will optimize preventive work with girls and adolescent girls, and will also make the adolescent health care system as effective and available as possible, thus allowing the formation of models of normal reproductive behavior of children and adolescents and preserving the reproductive potential of the population.

Published: August 2024

On the basis of the analysis of literary sources, a conclusion was made about the relevance of using the environment of the Maple computer mathematics system for the purpose of creating software for conducting scientific research and creating educational and methodological materials for solving typical mathematical problems of cryptography. It is noted that the most famous and widespread cryptographic algorithm with a public key RSA is based on a number of problems of elementary number theory that can be solved using standard tools of the Maple system. This work examines the specified standard commands with a demonstration of their application techniques on specially developed examples. The commands for solving problems in such sections as divisibility of whole numbers, prime numbers are considered; the most important functions in number theory: functions for selection of integer and fractional parts of a number and multiplicative functions; congruences and systems of congruences of the first order, quadratic remainders. A simple and effective algorithm and program for determining prime Mersenne numbers based on standard Maple commands is given. This algorithm is based on the necessary condition of simplicity of Mersenne numbers. The work of the author's educational Maple calculation simulators is demonstrated: according to the extended Euclid algorithm; Euler functions; symbol of Legendre; Jacobi symbol. The operation of the Euler function training simulator is demonstrated when calculating the corresponding value for a prime number, a composite number that is the product of two primes, a composite number that is a natural power of a prime number, as well as composite natural numbers of arbitrary structure. With the help of fragments of the program code, which can be used as a basis for the development of training simulators, the determination of the complete system of the smallest integral residues is demonstrated; of the complete system of the absolute smallest and the reduced system of remainders by simple and composite modules.
Tradition and Polyglossia
Authors: Khoma Oleg
Published: August 2024

Oleksiy Panych put forward two theses: (1) irrelevance of the concept of national philosophical tradition in the analysis of modern philosophical processes; (2) impossibility of building such a tradition in contemporary Ukraine, since this tradition is incompatible with the “internal polyglossiaˮ essential for Ukrainian philosophizing. I prove that the essential features of the national philosophical tradition highlighted by O. Panych do not take into account contemporary clarifications of this concept. Developing Serhiy Yosypenkoʼs idea about the institutional level of this tradition, I propose to understand it as a two-level social mechanism of self-reproduction of the national philosophical community within the limits of modern philosophical institutions. At the first level, this tradition appears as a result of the purely civil self-identification of each individual philosopher (it ensures the very existence and stability of the tradition), at the second one, multiple reflections are carried out regarding what this tradition is and where it comes from. The products of these levels do not reduce to each other and perform separate functions. This approach allows solving a number of complex theoretical problems, in particular the problem of the incompleteness of the criteria for defining the national philosophical tradition.

Published: August 2024

Traditionally, trademarks were regarded as useful instruments for the identification of the source thus legal protection was provided to them. However, recently, trademarks have advanced as efficient instruments for both commercial and social communication in a fresh yet difficult environment. This article attempts to evaluate and analyze the present trademark regime in Pakistan and proposes changes as deemed necessary. The study highlights Trademark law gaps, comparing foreign statutes and international standards. The main objective of the legislation of Trademark Ordinance 2001, as evident from its preamble, was to provide a mechanism for registration, protection of trademarks, and prevention of fraudulent marks. Similarly, an imprudent buyer should not be deceived and no confusion should come into the mind of a layman which may mislead him to buy a product of one manufacturer for the other while considering it to be the same, that he actually wanted to purchase.

Published: August 2024

The relationship has developed throughout the years based on mutual regard and economics rather than transactions, despite being one of Pakistan's first official relationships. Strategically, they have always required one another. The United States wanted Pakistan to prevent the Soviet Union from gaining power, while Pakistan sought to resolve issues generated by its uneven defense with India. The two countries were interdependent due to the fact that the United States required Pakistan to fulfill its economic demands and strategic objectives and Pakistan needed the United States to ensure its security. Pakistan and the United States have discovered methods to collaborate on Afghanistan. When it comes to economic and strategic collaboration, the United States remains skeptical of Pakistan and China. This gives the impression that Washington is trying to appease Beijing with its policy toward Pakistan. Since the United States is ignoring India, Pakistan is concerned for its own safety.

Authors: Kubicki Damian
Published: August 2024

Celem powstania niniejszego opracowania jest przybliżenie złożonego charakteru konfliktu handlowego pomiędzy Stanami Zjednoczonymi Ameryki a Chińską Republiką Ludową, który stanowi jedno z najbardziej znaczących starć gospodarczych ostatniej dekady. Protekcjonistyczne działania mocarstw wywołały perturbacje nie tylko w gospodarkach narodowych, lecz doprowadziły do destabilizacji gospodarki globalnej ze względu na uczestnictwo w procesie fragmentacji produkcji. Amerykańskie zamierzenia dotyczyły szczególnie zmniejszenia ujemnego salda handlowego oraz ograniczenia nieuczciwych, według Waszyngtonu, praktyk chińskich, które prowadzą do kradzieży własności intelektualnej oraz transferu technologii. W odpowiedzi zaś Chińczycy, skupiając się na wzroście w sektorach technologicznych i przemysłowych, zareagowali działaniami odwetowymi, wprowadzając taryfy celne na amerykańskie towary. Wraz z prezydenturą Joe Bidena konfrontacja handlowa przerodziła się w technologiczną rywalizację, w której istotnymi kwestiami są zdolności negocjacyjne oraz współpraca przedstawicieli obydwu państw.

Hypermucoviscous (hv) Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are known to cause community-acquired infections that are serious, metastatic, and lethal. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and people of Asian descent are predisposed to more severe disease. Infective endocarditis is an extremely rare complication of these infections. A 41-year-old Filipino male with HIV-AIDS and chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with fever and symptoms of acute heart failure. He had hypotension, engorged neck veins, bibasal crackles, and a holosystolic murmur at the cardiac apex. Echocardiography showed an oscillating mass on the anterior mitral valve. Blood cultures grew hypermucoviscous K. pneumonia with positive string test and confirmed via multilocus sequence virulence typing. He improved with six weeks of intravenous antibiotics. This is the first case of (1) hv phenotype K. pneumoniae infective endocarditis, without other infectious foci, in a non-diabetic man with HIV-AIDS and CLL; and (2) an hv K. pneumoniae endocarditis patient with shock to have survived.

The Robusta coffee plant (Coffea canephora) is included in the Rubiaceae family and the Coffea genus. The problem in breeding Robusta coffee plants is that Robusta coffee seeds cannot be developed generatively because of the type of cross-pollination, so they must be propagated vegetatively by cuttings, namely slow root growth and rooting. weak so shoot formation is slow. To overcome this problem, liquid NPK fertilizer (24:20:05) was used with the aim of producing optimal cutting growth. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of the dose and frequency of application of liquid NPK fertilizer (24:20:05) on the growth of Robusta coffee cuttings. The method used was a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of 2 factors and 3 replications. Factor 1 consists of F0: 0 ml/polybag, F1 (25 ml/polybag), F2 (50 ml/polybag), F3 (75 ml/polybag), F4 (100 ml/polybag). The second factor is the frequency of fertilization (M) which consists of M1: Application once a week M2: Application once every 2 weeks M3: Application once every 3 weeks. The research results showed that there was an interaction between the dose of liquid NPK fertilizer and the frequency of fertilization on Robusta coffee cuttings (1) which had a very significant influence on the observed variables of stem diameter, number of branches and leaf area. (2) Giving a dose of liquid NPK fertilizer to Robusta coffee plant cuttings has a very real influence on all variables. (3) The effect of fertilization frequency on Robusta coffee plant cuttings has a very real influence on the variables of stem diameter and number of branches.

Published: August 2024

Dry land is productive land that can operate all year round, but with minimal water availability it is one of the obstacles for chili farmers. Therefore, the right solution for this problem is by applying drip irrigation techniques. The purpose of this research was to design and test the performance of the design on chili cultivation in dry land. This study used an experimental method with a direct experimental design on community agricultural land, by making 3 treatment groups, namely P1: surface drip irrigation, P2: subsurface drip irrigation, and P3: open channel irrigation. In this study, the parameters to be studied were designing and conducting performance tests on emitter discharge, water drop uniformity, and wetted areas. The results showed that the drip irrigation design consisted of several components, including primary reservoirs, secondary reservoirs, emitters and pressure regulators. The results of the performance test of the drip irrigation technique design can be said to be feasible to apply based on the discharge value and the drop uniformity coefficient, and the growth of chili plants, both with subsurface and above-surface drip irrigation techniques, does not have a significant effect. So it can be concluded that the method of providing water with subsurface and above-surface irrigation is both said to be effective and efficient

Rad se bavi teatrološkim aspektima tekstova Nedjeljka Fabrija o opernim predstavama o kojima je pisao u okviru glazbene kronike Maestro i njegov šegrt u časopisu Republika od 1986. do 1994. godine, a koji su zasebno objavljeni u knjizi Orfejeva djeca (2008.), podnaslovljeni kao »prilog povijesti recepcije u Hrvata«. Pripadajući nizu književnika koji su promišljali i vrjednovali glazbenu i glazbeno-scensku umjetnost te potvrđujući kontinuitet višestrukih isprepletenosti hrvatske glazbe i književnosti, Fabrio je u Orfejevoj djeci kritički razmatrao i književnu i glazbenu sastavnicu djela te njihovu glazbeno-scensku realizaciju na pozornici. U svakoj kronici o pojedinoj opernoj predstavi Fabrio analizira libreta, istražuje genezu djela, recepciju svih njegovih izvedbi u povijesti hrvatskoga opernoga kazališta, ali i recepcijski i produkcijski kontekst u kojem se operno djelo izvodi te ga kritički prosuđuje. Orfejeva djeca postaju nezaobilazno vrelo za buduća teatrološka istraživanja hrvatskoga opernoga kazališta.

Welche Rolle spielt die Landschaftspflege bei Waldbränden?
Authors: Krebs Patrik , Conedera Marco , Pezzatti Gianni Boris
Published: August 2024

Wann, wie oft, warum und wie intensiv es in einem Gebiet brennt, hängt von vielen Faktoren ab. Kurzfristig wirken sich vor allem zwei auf die Waldbrandgefahr aus. Zum einen bestimmt die Wetterlage mit extremer Trockenheit oder Regen, wie leicht sich das brennbare Material entzündet. Hinzu kommt der kontrollierte oder fahrlässige Umgang der Menschen mit Feuer im Freien. Langfristig sind neben der Klimaveränderung die Landschaftsnutzung und der Bevölkerungsdruck inklusive der allgemeinen Einstellung der Menschen gegenüber der Umwelt entscheidend. Ziel eines modernen Waldbrandmanagements ist es, das Waldbrandgeschehen so zu beeinflussen, dass es zu keinen schwerwiegenden Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt und die Waldfunktionen kommt.
Web-App zur erwarteten Baumartenvielfalt in Abhängigkeit der Waldfläche

Published: August 2024

Dass die Artenvielfalt von der Flächengrösse abhängt, ist ein bekanntes Phänomen. Mit zunehmender Fläche steigt im Allgemeinen die Anzahl festgestellter Arten. Dieser Zusammenhang ist jedoch nicht linear. Die Baumartenvielfalt von Wäldern unterschiedlicher Grösse zu vergleichen, stellt deshalb oftmals eine Herausforderung dar. Auf der Grundlage von Daten des Schweizerischen Landesforstinventars wurde nun eine Methodik entwickelt, mit der Schätzungen zur erwarteten Baumartenvielfalt auf beliebige Flächengrössen skaliert werden können. Die Methodik wurde in erster Linie zur Verbesserung der internationalen Berichterstattung entwickelt. Nun soll sie auch der Schweizer Forstpraxis zugänglich gemacht werden – mittels einer öffentlichen Web-App.
