Análisis del Impacto Social del Curso de Acceso a La Universidad (GAU) del Plan Integral Pueblo Gitano de La Generalitat de Catalunya
Authors: González-García Jorge , Flecha Ainhoa
Published: July 2021

La situación social y educativa del Pueblo Gitano es claramente alarmante: únicamente un 1% ha conseguido finalizar estudios universitarios, mientras que casi un 35% del resto de la población posee estudios superiores. El Antigitanismo, así como prácticas no avaladas por la comunidad científica, como la segregación educativa, explican esta situación de exclusión. En este sentido, desde el Plan Integral del Pueblo Gitano (PIPG) se está desarrollando un Grupo de Acceso a la Universidad (GAU) para personas gitanas mayores de 25 y 45 años, basado en la Actuación Educativa de Éxito de Formación de Familiares. Este artículo recoge los resultados de un estudio realizado en el marco de un trabajo de final de grado, orientado a analizar el impacto de dicho curso y el papel del PIPG en el éxito social y educativo de la comunidad gitana. La investigación se ha llevado a cabo a través de una metodología comunicativa de corte cualitativo, utilizando análisis documental y entrevistas en profundidad a actores claves. La investigación sugiere que tanto el PIPG como el GAU están contribuyendo de una manera clara a la inclusión educativa del Pueblo Gitano, y a la superación de la exclusión social de gran parte de esta comunidad. Estos resultados se muestran fundamentales para transformar la situación de esta comunidad, y especialmente para mejorar la eficacia y eficiencia de la intervención social y educativa con el Pueblo Gitano.
Job Burnout in Public and Special School Teachers
Authors: Hemati Alamdarloo G. , Moradi S.
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this research was to compare job burnout among public and special school teachers. The statistical population of this research consisted of all public and special school teachers in Jahrom, Iran. Of these teachers, 84 (42 public school teachers and 42 special school teachers) were selected as the study sample. Special school teachers and public school teachers were chosen using convenience sampling and multistage random sampling methods, respectively. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to measure job burnout. The collected data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results revealed that job burnout subscales (except for the Low sense of personal accomplishment), were higher among the special school teachers compared to those of the public school teachers (p<0,001), but there was no significant difference between male and female in terms of job burnout subscales (p=0,99). According to the findings of this study, it is suggested that the Ministry of Education take steps to prevent special schools’ teachers job burnout by raising the level of services at their workplaces.
The Practice of Detecting and Investigating by the Investigative Bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation of Legalization (Laundering) of Proceeds of Crime and Terrorism Financing
Authors: Bastrykin A. I.
Published: July 2021

The paper examines countering extremism, terrorist crimes, as well as legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime, as an important element of comprehensive measures undertaken to ensure national security. These crimes constitute global threats, and their suppression is one of the priorities of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. It should be emphasized that the public danger of legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime lies in the fact that it undermines the country’s financial system by means of providing the material basis for corruption and terrorism.In modern conditions, the risks of legalization of proceeds of crime, as well as the use of digital currency for illegal or criminal purposes, may arise, for example, when converting digital currency. In view of this, according to the author, it is necessary to establish clear criteria for transactions for which criminal liability for the illegal use of digital currencies may arise, including cases when the digital currency acts as a means of payment for the illegal circulation of weapons, drugs or other items, for the circulation of which criminal liability is established, as well as when illegal gambling or illegal banking are organized. With this in mind, there is a need to introduce criminal liability for illegal circulation of a digital currency and violation of the rules for making transactions with it.One of the main tasks in the field of preventing financing of terrorism and extremism is to counter the spread of radical ideology. To effectively solve this problem, it is required to apply an integrated approach, and, above all, active participation in this process of not only state authorities, but of various institutions of civil society, the scientific community, educational structures, public and religious organizations, as well as the mass media.
The Subject Matter of the Lawsuit as a Feature Individualizing the Lawsuit
Authors: Ivakin V. N.
Published: July 2021

The question concerning the concept of the subject matter of the claim, which is one of the features that individualize the claim, is one of the most disputable and unsettled in the doctrine devoted to the claim. A number of legal scholars define the subject matter of the lawsuit as the substantive law claim of the plaintiff against the defendant. However, this definition cannot be accepted as correct, since, first, petitioners bring claims that cannot meet the above requirement (for example, claims for recognizing transactions as invalid), and, second, the statements of claim filed with the court contain demand (request) for the court, rather than a claim against the defendant.According to another point of view, the subject matter of the claim should be understood as the subjective right indicated by the plaintiff and the corresponding obligation or civil legal relationship in general, about which the court must make a decision. It is also impossible to agree with the above definition of the subject matter of the lawsuit in view of the fact that, as A. A. Dobrovolsky correctly noted, the law provides that the statement of claim must indicate the plaintiff’s claim rather than the disputed legal relationship. We should also agree with the argument given by G. L. Osokina, according to which the logic and practice of the statement of claim for the defense dictate the need to include a subjective right or legitimate interest in the basis of the claim, and not in its subject matter. According to the point of view of K. S. Yudelson, the subject matter of the claim is the requirement to the court to protect the right in the form that corresponds to the stated requirement. However, since this definition is too general, it cannot be used to resolve the issue of the equivalence of claims. The definition of the subject matter of the claim as protection (V.N.Scheglov) or a method of protecting the right (G.L. Osokina) also have the similar drawback. The most correct is the definition of the subject matter of the claim as the protection of a subjective right, freedom or legitimate interest through the specific application of one of the methods provided for by law or the direct exercise of the right that the plaintiff asks the court about.
On the Role of the Prosecutor in Initiating a Criminal Case and Initiating Criminal Prosecution
Authors: Vilkova Т. Yu.
Published: July 2021

The paper shows that the consolidation of the functions of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation at the constitutional level leads to the need to return to the question of the effectiveness and sufficiency of the prosecutor’s powers to independently initiate a criminal case, initiate criminal prosecution, and bring charges. The modern models of granting various subjects the authority to initiate and carry out criminal prosecution, to bring charges in criminal procedural comparative studies are identified and analyzed. They are: 1) a system of public prosecution, or a monocratic model, in which criminal prosecution is initiated exclusively by the decision of state bodies with appropriate special competence, primarily the prosecutor’s office (prosecutor’s monopoly); 2) an ex officio prosecution system, or a polycratic model, when the subject of criminal prosecution is any of the state bodies authorized to conduct proceedings in a case, there is no monopoly of one state body or official to initiate criminal prosecution; 3) a private prosecution system, when the subject of criminal prosecution is either the victim or his legal successors; 4) a “people’s” system charges, in which any private person has the right to initiate criminal prosecution, regardless of whether he is a victim or not. The conclusion is substantiated that Russia belongs to the states in which the polycratic ex officio model is combined with private prosecution in certain categories of cases, while, unlike most other states, the prosecutor is not among the officials authorized to initiate criminal proceedings and/or criminal prosecution. It is shown that the lack of powers of the prosecutor in pre-trial proceedings hinders the achievement of the purpose of criminal proceedings. It is concluded that it is necessary to return to the prosecutor the authority to initiate a criminal case independently.
Marine Protected Areas and Other Zonally Linked Management Tools: International Legal Issues
Authors: Teymurov E. S.
Published: July 2021

The development of the legal framework for the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) and other zonal management tools is due to the need to establish their nature (environmental or socio-economically oriented); to determine the interaction of the norms of international environmental law and maritime law; to ensure the harmonization of the rules for the establishment of MPAs and their regimes in national and international law in order to take into account the characteristics of ecosystems. The research is aimed at improving the efficiency of establishing MPAs and other zonal management tools by harmonizing the conceptual apparatus, identifying key features of marine protected areas and separating them from related international legal instruments.International legal acts define the MPA as a zoning tool aimed exclusively at preserving the natural environment and biodiversity, in which, depending on the category of protected areas, the International Union for Conservation of Nature prohibit the withdrawal of resources except for traditional fishing. The indicated approach causes a conflict of types of use of biodiversity, non-perception by users of significant restrictions on activities, and contains the risk of becoming a political tool for restricting the activities of states.MPAs are a type of zonally linked management tools. They consist of a clearly defined geographical area and applicable measures that entail the preservation of the environment.It is necessary to move to a more flexible management model of MPAs, allowing for the sustainable use of the biological resources of the area. MPAs and other zonal tools should have a multi-purpose character. In most cases, in addition to environmental characteristics, socio-economic, scientific, educational and cultural characteristics of the space are taken into account to establish them.It is erroneous to identify the management tool with the space and exclude response measures from it. Most of the acts justifiably do not contain a list of protective measures, leaving room for the most effective definition of measures, taking into account the goals set and the factors of establishing MPAs. However, it seems reasonable to define in regulatory legal acts the procedure for resolving conflicts of types of use within the same and between different instruments.
De la Reconquista a Napoleón: la noción de España de William Godwin (1756-1836)
Authors: Pérez Rodríguez Eva M.
Published: July 2021

Resumen:Las opiniones de William Godwin sobre España son numerosas a lo largo de su producción, y reflejan su interés por el país. Prueba de ello son las anotaciones en su Diario, de cambios políticos provocados por Napoleón, o sus lecturas de Cervantes y otros autores españoles. Al final del siglo XVIII produjo una serie de cartas a los editores de periodicos influyentes, sobre la guerra con Francia y sus implicaciones para Inglaterra y España. Como historiador, Godwin revela su rechazo al absolutismo religioso español, como lo hace en sus Historias, de Inglaterra o la Commonwealth, o en su «Vida de Lady Jane Grey». En su ficción, de juventud y madurez, Godwin usa ambientes y personajes hispanos con fines varios: desde el ataque a la imposición católica de los Austrias, hasta hechos contemporáneos bajo el absolutismo de Fernando VII. En un nivel personal, la amistad de Godwin con el hispanófilo Lord Holland denota su interés por el país donde Wellington, uno de sus héroes, se convirtió en leyenda.Palabras clave:WILLIAM GODWIN, ESPAÑA, CATOLICISMO, ABSOLUTISMO, NAPOLEÓN, FRANCIA.

El procedimiento fue validado en tres frentes de playas del municipio Guamá de la provincia Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. La principal conclusión indica que las variables de mayor diferenciación entre las tipologías identificadas son los relacionados con la categoría Estructuración Funcional.
La postmodernidad y dos disciplinas en diálogo: el diseño industrial y la arquitectura
Authors: Molines-Cano Jose-Miguel , Almerich-Chulia Ana
Published: July 2021

Aunque el diseño industrial y la arquitectura han sido dos disciplinas totalmente autónomas y con unos límites perfectamente identificables a lo largo de la historia, no existe ninguna razón por la que no puedan adoptar una posición encontrada. Un hecho que se ve favorecido con la entrada del siglo XX y la aceptación de nuevos lenguajes que romperán con los cánones preestablecidos, llegando incluso hasta nuestros días. En este sentido, el presente artículo analiza la aproximación que ha tenido el diseño industrial y la arquitectura como consecuencia de la irrupción de las propuestas trasgresoras que caracterizan el postmodernismo. Una nueva forma conjunta de entender la arquitectura y el diseño a través de la fusión e hibridación entre ambas. Un hecho que, además de una ruptura con los preceptos establecidos, y aprovechándose del carácter comunicativo que presentan muchas de estas hibridaciones, han resultado una oportunidad para algunas marcas.

Published: July 2021

Background: Considering the role of lifestyle in promoting, maintaining, continuity health and the importance of paying attention to the veterans and their families who have suffered a lot in order to sacrifice for the homeland, the present study intends to compare the lifestyle among veterans and non-veterans in Mashhad city.
Methods: This study was conducted using a survey method. The statistical population included the veteran and non-veteran families of Mashhad. A total of 360 questionnaires were filled out in this city. The research instruments were Lifestyle Questionnaire (LSQ) and All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale. The data were analyzed by SPSS v.24.
Results: There is not a significant difference between the mean scores of lifestyle in the two groups of veteran and non-veteran in Mashhad (p > 0.05). The comparison of mean lifestyle scores also showed that there was no significant difference between the lifestyle scores of men and women in the non-veteran group and the mean scores of the single and married lifestyle in the veteran and non-veteran group (p > 0.05). There is a significant relationship between education level and health literacy of veteran and non-veteran families with their lifestyle, age, and employment status. They are also related to the lifestyle of their life because of the status they provide for the sacrifices.
Conclusion: Comparison of the two groups in terms of lifestyle indicates that the veterans are in a less favorable position than non-veterans in terms of some aspects of lifestyle such as physical health, exercise and health, disease prevention and mental health.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice towards Dengue: A Study among the Inhabitants of Malibagh of Dhaka city, Bangladesh
Authors: Sharmila Nowshin , Habib Shah Ehsan
Published: July 2021

Background: Dengue remains a major public health challenge causing death among many people in Bangladesh. The magnitude of dengue-related illness and death has significantly increased over recent years. Study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to Dengue fever.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a total of 193 males and females who consented to participate in the study. Respondents were included purposively from selected areas in Malibagh an area classified as a stable dengue-prone region of the capital city. The survey was carried out by face-to-face interview using a pre-tested standardized and structured questionnaire.
Results: The results reveal that dengue infection occurred in 20.2% of residents. Only 27.5% had a good knowledge score (8 out of 11 items), and 83.9% had a positive attitude, while 34.2% had a good compliance practice.  Knowledge was significantly associated with education, income, and age (p < 0.05). Misconceptions existed about the transmission of dengue – more than one-third (36.8%) reported that the Aedes aegypti mosquito could only breed in clean water, and 32.1% were aware of the biting time of the mosquito. Most participants (55.4%) strongly agreed that dengue is a serious illness, and over half (65.3%) reported that it could be prevented with coverage of vector control interventions. The majority (64.2%) used mosquito nets as a preventive measure, while over one-third (35.2%) reported they discarded waste, containers, and non-used bottles across their yards that hold water. Although the respondents had quite positive attitude of preventive measures regarding dengue (83.9%), a sizeable number (34.2%) did not put this attitude into practice.
Conclusion: Poorly planned urbanization combined with an explosive urban population in the capital city has brought the mosquito and the human host into close proximity. The government should launch health education programs on dengue prevention to educate the community members, addressing misconceptions about their preventive measures and on how they could eliminate the risk factors related to practices.
El paradigma bio-teo-político de la autarquía y la paradoja del Dios viviente
Authors: Grassi Martin
Published: July 2021

In the Western tradition, life has been defined within the idea of reflexivity and unity. These two features of life are intertwined in what I call the Bio-Theo-Political Paradigm of autarchy, in which living beings are defined primarily as self-sufficient entities. The perfect living being, thus, will be the most autarchic, one that can achieve perfect unity within its own self- referred dynamics. This perfect living being is God, and Western theology (both Greek and Christian) conceptualized God as “thought of thought”, for only the intellect can achieve a pure reflexive unity. However, Plotinus and Jean-Paul Sartre (two very different philosophers, coming from very different traditions and in very different contexts) showed the difficulties of such a definition of God. This paper aims at problematizing the Bio-Theo-Political Paradigm of autarchy by showing its inconsistency when reaching the idea of a perfect living being. In doing so, a need to rethink life and God is fostered, a need that Christian Theology in particular should face in order to build a theology of a Trinitarian living God.
El aggionarmento en una arquidiócesis rural: La hermenéutica del Concilio Vaticano II en Goiânia (Brasil)
Authors: De Quadros Eduardo
Published: July 2021

Las relaciones entre las decisiones y documentos del Concilio Vaticano II con las arquidiócesis periféricas involucraron filtros, lentes interpretativas y elecciones que en ocasiones parecían contradictorias, lo cual revela la complejidad de una institución como la Iglesia romana. En este artículo, se aborda este problema haciendo una comparación del proceso que tuvo lugar en la Arquidiócesis de Goiânia, en la región central de Brasil, con las afirmaciones generales de la historiografía brasileña. Con este propósito, inicialmente se presenta una breve revisión de las aproximaciones de análisis a este tema y, en segunda instancia, se muestra que algunos de los estereotipos no se corresponden con lo que sucedió en Goiânia durante los sesenta, especialmente cuando se consideran las estrategias episcopales en el manejo de las transformaciones.
Synthesis, Characterization, and Use of Lanthanide Chelate of β-Diketonate Based Ligand as a Luminescent Biolabel
Authors: ŞEN YUVAYAPAN Semanur , ÇOLAK Alper Tolga , ŞAHİN Onur , CELIK Cumali
Published: July 2021

In this study, we aimed to synthesize a β-diketonate-based ligand and its Eu(III) complex which are used for luminescent biolabel. For this purpose, we chose acetophenone as the starting material which contains methyl group at the alpha position of the ketone group. Firstly, we obtained 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-octafluoro-3,8-dihydroxy-1,10-diphenyldeca-2,8-diene-1,10-dione (H2ODIT) ligand in a reaction between acetophenone and diethyloctafluoroadipate with Claisen condensation. This ligand was characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectral analyses. We obtained a single crystal H2ODIT as characterized by X-ray analysis. At the second step, in order to bind H2ODIT to the antibody, it is reacted with chlorosulfonic acid. As a result of this reaction, the functional group of -ClSO2 was bound to the structure. The structure of H2CODIT was characterized by NMR and mass spectral analysis. In the third step, to understand the usability of the ligand as a biolabel, the complex compound was synthesized with EuCl3. The complex compound was excited with UV light at 306 nm wavelength, specific hypersensitive 5D0 → 7F2 phosphorescence electronic transition of the Eu(III) was observed which proved that the luminescent H2CODIT molecule can work as a biolabel.

Published: July 2021

Gamification is considered by many scholars to be an effective tool for engaging individuals in teaching and learning process, organizational task, business environment, and other recreational activities. However, some students and tutors of various institutions of learning across the globe lack clear understanding on how gamification applications positively affect teaching and learning via intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. Despites all its potential benefits as suggested by prior literatures with regards to flexibility and externalization of learning process, yet some colleges and universities are not fully convinced that use of gamification elements motivate students to engage more on their learning activities which in turns change attitudes and behaviours. Hence, the need for study to extract these motivational effects of gamifications applications from the existing body of knowledge. Therefore, this study utilized some of the comprehensive databases such as ScienceDirect, Web of science, IEEE Xplore, and SpringerLink, with the aims of identifying, extracting, analyzing and highlighting the motivational effects of gamification systems in education. Out of the articles discovered, 37 were fully read and analyzed. The study results highlight the motivational effects of gamification applications in education, and found badges, levels, feedbacks, points, and leader-board to be the most pleasant elements of gamification applications that motivate individuals, as they increase participation and engagement in learning process. Finally, the study suggests area of future work.
The Implications of Adverse Pharmacologic Reactions and Complex Pathogenic Mechanisms in Schizophrenia
Authors: Stovicek Puiu Olivian , Marinescu Dragoș , Păuna-Cristian Liana , Marinescu Ileana
Published: July 2021

Schizophrenia is a major health problem in which diversification and increase in the quality of antipsychotic molecules did not yield the anticipated results. that the etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia accounts for a combination of genetic factors forming the genetic spectrum of vulnerability for schizophrenia. The neurodevelopmental anomalies correlated with the gestational period and obstetric traumatisms raises major pharmacological management issues. The two levels of vulnerability (genetic and neurodevelopmental) are the basis of the pathogeny of side effects induced by antipsychotic medication. The most severe side effects are related to extrapyramidal symptoms, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypofrontality, impairment of the neurovascular unit and neuronal metabolic processes. Understanding these particular mechanisms will allow the clinician to identify the pathogenic model of schizophrenia, customized for each specific case. The adverse drug reaction decreases the compliance and adherence to the treatment, determining repeated discontinuations with psychotic relapses, and may trigger psychopathogenic bursts deteriorating the structural and cerebral functional balance. The type of psychotropic medication must be taken into account, as well as the concomitant medication administered for comorbidities associated with schizophrenia. The cerebral vascular modifications are correlated with the metabolic syndrome induced by antipsychotic medication. This complex syndrome, associated also with modifications in the homocysteine metabolism, determines weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, ischemic cardiopathy, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Identification of possible biological or neuroimaging markers helps and their early correction may prevent the onset of neurodegenerative evolution and irreversible cerebral atrophies, as well as decrease the risk of side effect that may endanger the life of the schizophrenic patient. The complexity of the pathogenic mechanisms requires a prophylactic behavior, not based on therapeutic switch, but on the proactive, customized pharmacologic intervention, addressing the pathogenic chains.

This Article seeks to give an overview of how the pandemic has affected society throughout this period, which can be a source of many mental health problems. As in the Spanish influenza pandemic, the COVID-19 pandemic and the imposition of measures of social separation, isolation and limitation of contact with other people were, and are still, a major stress factor. The stress associated with this period disrupted the functioning of people both individually and socially, being the main factor of the phenomenon called compensation. Under the current circumstances, people have a predisposition for emotional disorders such as: Anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, anger, Emotional depletion and including post-traumatic symptoms of disorder, according to recent studies by the Lancet analyzing the psychological effects of quarantine. The COVID-19 crisis has a wide range of effects on our mental and emotional health: From negative emotions with greater intensity and duration, such as anxiety and depression, to unfinished emotional mourning, linked both to the loss of loved ones and even to emotional and relational disconnection. Also, all that has happened in recent times makes us live in “collective pain” , we have lost our right to travel without restrictions or the freedom to participate in sad events or family and community joy, we have lost family or friends. In many cases of these losses, the strands of the dollar are also being cut, which is why people need additional support. We need to find solutions to this, because we have to deal with the natural grief caused by human disappearance, as we know it, but also an isolation characteristic of the suffering process that now overlaps the physical isolation imposed by the epidemic. Another important aspect is to prevent instability in the psycho-social element of the human Community. It is clear that there is a need to impose safety measures both jointly and individually. Psychological aspects should be addressed early, so that measures can be taken to reduce the psychological costs of pandemic, perceived isolation and to address uncertainties that can give rise to anxiety and depression. Addressing psychological issues has effects not only in the short term, motivating adherence to pandemic measures, but also in the long term, through lower incidence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, etc. The fastest change expected after this crisis will be the individual one, each crisis is a chance for every person to look further.

Metabolomics is one of the newest “omics” sciences that is being applied to date to investigate several aspects of pathologies and medical topics in general. It provides a snapshot of the metabolic state of an individual by the detection of metabolites in several biological fluids, such as saliva, blood and sweat. Our research group has more than a decade of experience in this field and we ourselves applied this technology to investigate, for instance, every aspect of breast milk, different neonatal diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. In this paper, which is adapted from the lecture given by Professor Fanos at the 5th edition of the Galatia Congress (2021), we discuss the usefulness of metabolomics in the investigation of paediatric neuropsychiatric disorders. We are convinced that this technique, in the future, will provide all the answer to the infinite questions concerning the paediatric brain and its disorders, in order to help the clinicians and families of these children to give the best life possible to these little patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health on a sample of 37 patients with psoriasis in Brăila County. Methods: A cross-sectional study on a sample of 37 patients with psoriasis was conducted by questionnaires e-mailed to patients. The study was conducted between November 20th, 2020 - January 15th, 2021. Mental health was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Assessment Scale (HAS). Data collected on predictors included, but were not limited to, sex, age, background, marital status, level of education, smoking, alcohol consumption, comorbidities, period of self-isolation, severity of psoriasis, and type of treatment for psoriasis. Results: There were 37 participants included. Factors associated with poor mental health were: place of origin (54% from urban areas), sex (62.1% women), age (67.5% between 65 and 80 years old), period of self-isolation (81% in self-isolation for more than 14 days), comorbidities (75.6% with multiple comorbidities) and form of treatment for psoriasis (48.6% are systemically administered treatment for psoriasis). Conclusions: In this sample of patients with psoriasis from Brăila County who isolate or socially distance themselves, urban patients, women, elderly, those with comorbidities and those who are systemically administered treatment for psoriasis were associated with a high score on the Hamilton anxiety assessment scale. However, we have to admit that our research has some limitations. First, the number of participants included in the study was small. Secondly, we used an online way to conduct the study. Thirdly, we used a self-assessment scale to assess the anxiety symptoms of psoriasis patients, which might have some deviation from the outcome. Looking beyond the current situation, it is essential to evaluate and restructure the way we think about patient’s care.

Although the therapeutic potential of virtual reality has been foreseen since over half a century ago, the lack of graphical processing power made it impossible to apply in medical therapeutic sciences until last decade; nowadays, the hardware required for virtual reality is even 100 times more affordable. A head-mounted display induces immersivity engulfing the subject’s eyesight perception in a stereoscopic manner. The same tool that may aid better self understanding and bonding can also trigger psychopathological mechanisms through which the user becomes alienated from the real world. As virtual reality became even more popular during SARS-COV2 pandemic, users worldwide have spent more time into a virtual world. Depersonalization/derealization syndrome can occur if virtual reality is abused. The greater the person’s involvement in virtual reality, the greater the chance of a lack of bodily self (depersonalization). Controllers that mimic hands could prevent the subject from acknowledging the real world as true – derealization. Virtual reality’s dissociative potential is related to individual psychological traits and prolonged exposure. Children are the most prone to develop behavioral changes. Adults may develop behavioral problems related to virtual reality gaming, gambling, pornography and also social networking through created avatars. Blue light wavelength could harm sleep architecture and circadian rhythm by disrupting melatonin, therefore making virtual reality exposure problematic after sunset. State of the art reveals that using virtual reality in a therapeutic manner, actually facilitates the fight against addictions with cue therapy intended to extinguish conditioned response. The exposure to a substance (nicotine, alcohol, or any other psychoactive recreational abuse potential substances) can trigger craving in a controlled environment, that is malleable in the hands of the therapist. Virtual reality can offer an exposure perspective that is both vivid enough to be a challenge, but also safe enough to ensure patient involvement and to amplify the therapeutic alliance.

The article presents the possibilities of using artificial neural networks for parametric prediction in borehole profiles, the application of which supplemented the set of information in all boreholes located within the analyzed area. The approach presented in the article will be used when there is no possibility of specialized interpretation of the drilling geophysics curves, supplementing the missing data. The set of data used in the study included solutions in the profiles of 10 boreholes, four of which were characterized by the availability of the full data set analyzed in this article, including compressional wave velocity, effective porosity, hydrocarbon saturation, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. Using the technique of the operation of artificial neural networks, a prediction of missing information was carried out based on the relationships between the analyzed parameters in the wells, where the estimated data was available. In recent years, there has been a dynamic development of machine learning technology and the so-called artificial intelligence. There are very few fields of science in which they find no application. The hydrocarbon saturation parameter, despite the challenges posed by the interpretation of this parameter, was also subjected to an estimation attempt, confirming the low correlation values between the analyzed parameters and requiring much more advanced work of an individual nature. The results of parametric prediction, previously validated by characterizing the R and RMSE parameters, were applied in the next step in the spatial modeling process of all analyzed parameters. Finally, as part of the visualization of the differences between the use of an incomplete and partially estimated data set in spatial analysis, a map of mean values of the selected parameter within the analyzed interval was presented. The set of data prepared in this way allowed for a more reliable spatial reconstruction of the distribution of parameters important in the context of the characteristics of the hydrocarbon reservoir, on the basis of which, in the subsequent stages, it is possible to more fully assess the deposit potential of the analyzed object. The methodology presented in the article, supported by a real case study, is an alternative to geophysical interpretations that require financial and time resources, sometimes large numbers of boreholes, especially for areas characterized by relatively low spatial variability and tectonic complexity. The condition is the availability of the interpretation in at least several boreholes, constituting a pattern for recreating the variability of the tested parameter / parameters in the remaining profiles of the boreholes.

The triple challenge of acute water crisis, stagnant crop yield and soil health deterioration in NW Indo Gangetic Plains (IGP) ramble a search for potential alternative crop establishment technique (CET). Hence, maize-based crop rotations under best-bet conservation agriculture (CA) practices can plays a critical role in sustainable crop production. The CA-based tillage and CET viz. zero tillage (ZT) and permanent raised beds (PB) hold potential to intensify crop yield per hectare, improving resource use efficiency besides bringing desirable changes in soil physico-chemical and biological properties. Therefore, it needs to be popularized in larger scale chiefly under maize-based rotation to makes farming more attractive, profitable and sustainable.
