IZAZOVI I KAPACITETI JAVNOG UPRAVLjANjA U ZEMLjAMA BRIKS-A
Authors:   College of Vocational Studies for Criminology and Security Niš. Serbia, Đorić Žarko
Published: January 2022

In the last decade, the BRICS countries have undoubtedly become the epicenter of global economic growth. However, dissatisfaction with the modernization process has led to the emergence of a new concept: public governance. Politically, BRICS is made up of three democracies (including the largest in the world, India), a totalitarian regime (China) and a nation characterized by significant authoritarian tendencies (Russia). Several issues that are important to the BRICS member states for the coming period concern the stability of constitutional systems, anti-terrorist efforts, accounting for corruption and security. The BRICS countries have relatively well-developed institutional and legal frameworks necessary to foster the rule of law regime. However, strong corruption and political indulgence have led to erosion in political, economic and legal institutions, a weakening of judicial independence and a lack of democratic accountability. For the success of the BRICS countries, strengthening the rule of law is more critical than ever for further economic progress, which is a long-term process and requires adequate measures to be taken to ensure respect for the principle of superiority of law, equality before the law, responsibility under the law, fairness in the application of the law, division of power, participation, legal certainty in decision making, avoidance of arbitrariness and procedural and legal transparency.

Published: January 2022

Objectives: To determine the prevalence, patterns and behavioural attributes of tobacco abuse in patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Furthermore, to assess the interaction of tobacco abuse with other conventional risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methodology: This observational study included 230 consecutive patients with ACS. Data was collected regarding total duration and extent of tobacco consumption, “tobacco addiction” and various behavioural patterns related to it. Risk factors profile was acquired for hypertension, diabetes, obesity, family history of premature CVD and dyslipidemia. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for these risk factors were calculated for tobacco abusers compared to non-abusers.
Results: Among the study population, 63(27.4%) were active tobacco users. Urban residents had lesser odds of being tobacco abusers compared to non-urban residents (0.49, [0.27 – 0.89]). Tobacco abusers had a lower prevalence of hypertension compared to non-abusers (0.44 [0.24 – 0.81]). A similar trend was observed for diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia, however, the differences could not reach significance thresholds. Cigarette smoking was the commonest mode of tobacco consumption (90.5%). “Tobacco addiction” could be attributed to 84.1% of abusers. Most (82.5%) were willing to give up tobacco abuse and 63.3% had already made attempts at quitting.
Conclusion: About one-third of ACS patients were tobacco abusers with the majority being tobacco addicts. Tobacco abuse was observed to be independently implicated as a risk factor in ACS patients. Furthermore, tobacco abuse was inversely related to hypertension translating into a sub-multiplicative / additive impact of hypertension as a risk factor.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of Acute Mitral Regurgitation in Post Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) patients with severe mitral stenosis (MS).
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Tabba Heart Institute, Karachi, Pakistan between September 2019 and April 2021. All patients irrespective of gender, aged between 19-80 years, and those who did not undergo PTMC were eligible to partake in the study. Patients with mitral regurgitation along with mitral stenosis, or those with clot in left atrium, or those suffering with the last stage of renal disease were excluded from the study. A predefined Proforma was used as a research instrument through which medical records of patients of PTMC are collected. The variables of the Proforma include patient’s age, name, sex, echo findings, treatment procedure, post-procedure data and complications.
Results: A mean age of 40.6 ± 12.63 years was reported. 86 (81.9%) of the patients developed ‘no complications’, 15 (14.3%) of the PTMC patients suffered from ‘severe mitral regurgitation’, 2 (1.9%) had local hematoma, and one patient had a cardiac tamponade after the procedure. Only one patient died post-procedure. Post-stratification analysis showed that the majority of the female patients and 83% of the patients with no previous commissurotomy history did not have any complications. While a total of 14.7% who had no history of previous commissurotomy suffered from severe MR.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that only a small number of patients who underwent PTMC suffered from severe mitral regurgitation. Overall, the procedure is safe with a good outcome.

COMPARISON OF INDONESIA'S EXPORT-IMPORT WITH CHINA AFTER THE AGREEMENT ON AGRICULTURE (AoA)
Authors: Setiawan Mohamad Arief , Setiawan Perdi , Kalfin Kalfin
Published: January 2022

The agricultural sector is the most important sector in the Indonesian and Chinese economies. The role of this sector is not only in international trade activities, but also plays a role in the domestic economy, including food sufficiency. The agricultural policies of Indonesia and China are not only oriented to increasing agricultural productivity for trade purposes but also to improving the standard of living of the people, especially farmers. The flow of economic liberalization brought by the World Trade Organization (WTO) has become a dilemma for Indonesian and Chinese agriculture. On the one hand, the WTO accession decision opens access to wider international trade, but on the other hand, both countries must protect their agriculture through the determination of prices for agricultural products by the government. This paper aims to find out the comparison of Indonesia's exports and imports with China in the field of trade in agricultural products after the implementation of the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) or agricultural agreements which are part of the WTO from January 1, 1995, to the present. The results of the study obtained that the comparison of Indonesia's exports and imports with China was more optimal. From the research results, it can be used as a comparison for the government in determining further policies to get maximum results.
Estimating the Expected Shortfall in MYOR Stock Using the ARIMA-GARCH Model
Authors: Saputra Jumadil , Simanjuntak Alberto
Published: January 2022

Stocks are one of the best-known forms of investment and are still used today. In stock investment, it is necessary to know the movement and risk of loss that may be obtained from the stock investment so that investors can consider the possibility of profit. One way of calculating risk is to use the Expected Shortfall (ES). Because the stock movement is in the form of a time series, a model can be formed to predict the movement of the stock which can then be used for ES calculations using time series analysis. The purpose of the study was to determine the expected shortfall value of MYOR shares using time series analysis. The data used for this research is the daily closing price of shares for three years. In the time series analysis stage, the models used in predicting stock movements are Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) for the mean model and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) for the volatility model. The average value and variance obtained from the model are then used in calculating the ES on MYOR stock. Based on the results of the study, it was obtained that MYOR's stock had an ES of 0.050772. This means if an investment is made for MYOR shares of IDR 1,000,000.00 for 37 days (5% of 751 days) for an investment period with a 95% confidence level, the expected loss to be borne by the investor is IDR 50,772.00.

Authors:   Russian Society of Urologists, Moscow, Russia, Borisov Vladimir V.
Published: January 2022

The clinical lecture is a continuation of our report on antioxidants published in one of the preceding issues of the magazine. In the current context of COVID-19 epidemic, the efforts to struggle for preservation of human life and health using all possible sanitary and anti-epidemic (preventive) measures, as well as advanced diagnostic and therapeutic tools, imply fertility preservation in the population together with positive solutions to national demographic challenges in the long term. Testicles are one of the reservoirs for the virus in the male body. This is indirectly confirmed by the sex hormone level alterations in COVID-19 survivors compared to healthy people. Oxidative stress associated with impaired fertility results from antioxidant and trace mineral deficiency. The role of trace minerals, zinc and selenium, in these processes together with possible approaches to adjustment of their levels in the context of COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in detail.

The paper presents the experience of assessment and treatment of 5000 cases of various traumatic brain injury (TBI) effects using brain imaging methods, minimally invasive and reconstructive neurosurgery. Definitions of TBI “effects” and “complications” have been proposed for the first time. Clinical and morphological classification of those has been developed, which identifies tissue effects, effects on cerebrospinal fluid system dynamics, and vascular effects of TBI. The major clinical symptoms of TBI effects have been described: neurologic deficit, mental dysfunctions, disturbances of vegetative function, epilepsy. Focal and diffuse alterations in brain tissue, intrathecal space and ventricular system resulting from TBI, identified by x-ray computed tomography, have been systematized. This has become the basis for investigation of pathogenesis and sanogenesis of brain disorders resulting from TBI, as well as for developing theory about the TBI effects.

Technostress and counterproductive behaviours in an organisation
Authors: Kot Paweł
Published: January 2022

Work can be a place where we experience stress. In recent years, employees exposed to work with the use of information and communication technologies have reported symptoms of technostress. In turn, such frustration may lead to various negative and ineffective behaviours at work. The aim of the study was to analyse the links between technostress and counterproductive behaviours (theft, fraud, withdrawal and sabotage). 676 employees (including 50.9% women) aged 20 to 63 (M = 41.04; SD = 13.46) using ICT on a daily basis were surveyed. The study used the Counterproductive Behaviours Questionnaire and the Technostress Creators and Technostress Inhibitors Scale. The obtained results confirmed a positive relationship between Technostress creators and counterproductive behaviours and a negative relationship between Technostress inhibitors and counterproductive behaviours. These results can be used in organisations to minimize the risk of counterproductive behaviours by counteracting the occurrence of Technostress creators and reinforcing Technostress inhibitors.

Authors: Doulou Aikaterini , Drigas Athanasios
Published: January 2022

Numerous researches carried out during the last decade have contributed to the fact that we have now enough data concerning the profile and treatment of ADHD. Too often, children with ADHD face problems in learning and behavior due to difficulties in cognitive and metacognitive functions. It is not uncommon for them to be marginalized either at school or in the family due to inappropriate handling and interventions. In order to improve the quality of life of these children and their relationships to adults and peers, it is essential to develop their emotional intelligence and skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-control. The treatment methods for ADHD usually involve behavior modification, pharmacotherapy, or a combination of both. This paper investigates the use of new technologies for the treatment of ADHD, as well as the effectiveness of behavioral interventions.

In 2021, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945  Surabaya received KsK MBKM funding assistance for 6 study programs. This research was conducted to determine the impact of the implementation of the MBKM KsK program in the Untag Surabaya environment. The activities carried out were data collection by filling out questionnaires and conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with MBKM implementing stakeholders at the University, namely the Head of Study Programs, Lecturers, Students, Education Staff, and Partners for the implementation of MBKM implementation. From the results of the questionnaire and FGD, in general the implementation of the KsK MBKM in each study program provides benefits for the Head of Study Programs and Lecturers because they support the preparation and review of the curriculum in accordance with the MBKM program. The study program also collaborates with partners to develop a scheme for off-campus activities. Education staff also supports MBKM activities, starting from the preparation of curriculum documents to preparing for the implementation of MBKM activities.  Students are certainly very enthusiastic about participating in this MBKM activity, especially internship activities. What needs to be given more attention is the lack of insight from students, several lecturers, staff, and partners regarding the policies and SOP for MBKM activities made by both the University and Study Programs, so that in the future it is necessary to carry out a lot of socialization and education, as well as directly involve the students stakeholders to make MBKM activities at Untag Surabaya better.

This is a qualitative research with a case study approach. This research is intended to answer the questions how the sanctions are applied by schools for bullying children and how the law enforcement for bullies is applied. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews with 5 informants consisting of a psychologist, a legal practitioner and 3 parents whose children were victims of bullying. Cases of bullying that occur in schools receive less attention from teachers, academic staff and school principals. In general, bullying is still considered an ordinary child delinquency and behaviour, even though the impact of bullying is very dangerous for students who become victims. For this reason, every teacher, staff, principal must have sufficient knowledge regarding bullying issues in order to create an activity program that aims to prevent bullying and every parent must also pay attention to their children and understand that currently there is a law related to the problem of bullying and it is hoped that parents will have the courage to report to the authorities in order to provide a deterrent effect not only to the bullies but also to those who cover up the case.

Published: January 2022

In a constantly changing society, it is mandatory for state institutions and society to be actively involved in the (re) integration of persons released from prison. The non-adaptation of policies and programs for the integration of these people with the real needs they had coming out of the prison gate and also in the first month of freedom, can determine them to relapse and implicitly to increase the crime rate at the societal level. It is necessary that the programs are inspired by institutions and specialists from other states, such as those of the American, Spanish, German state, etc. to be adapted to the real needs of the liberated people, to the culture and values of the Romanian people. Each person is unique, that’s why the person released from prison has certain needs to integrate into society again, and these needs are different from one person to another, depending on gender, religion, education, life experience, marital status, age, moral support provided by the family, support given by society the time they leave the penitentiary after serving the sentence, etc.
