The Use of Brown Rice Flour as a Substitute for Wheat Flour in the Production of Madeleine Cake
Authors: Fitriani Dewi , Karnita Ita , Metrasari Annisa
Published: October 2023

Madeleine cake or commonly referred to as petite madeleine is a small French version of the butter cake. This madeleine cake has a unique shape characteristic that is in the form of a clamshell and then has a 'bump' or part that expands on the back side of the cake. (Sam, 2020). These little cakes have been loved by kings and peasants since the 17th century, and were ingrained in French hearts and culture by the French philosopher Proust in the early 1920s. (Ledsom, 2018). Whole grain rice is rice that contains three edible components, namely the bran, germ, and endosperm. Meanwhile, refined rice is rice that is polished to remove parts of the bran and germ so that only starchy white endosperm remains, hence the name “white” rice. (Harvard T.H. Chan, 2022). Researchers want to spread Madeleine Cake to the people of Indonesia with a unique and healthy variant, namely the replacement of flour raw materials with the use of local ingredients, namely brown rice flour. With the hope that the product can be healthier, has a more unique aroma, taste and texture to be enjoyed by various group of people.

Highlights

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an idiopathic, non-atherosclerotic muscular layer artery lesion predominantly affecting the carotid and renal arteries. This pathology is quite rare in the general population and is most often diagnosed in women. In this article, on the example of a clinical case, up-to-date information is presented regarding the features of the clinical picture, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms in patients with FMD, which may be useful for physicians of different specialties.

 

Abstract

Arterial hypertension in young people is most common cause of another disease. The task of the physician who encounters such a patient is to make up a specific plan for further action.

Despite the low fibromuscular dysplasia incidence in the population, this disease is relevant for differential diagnosis in young patients with arterial hypertension. The presented clinical case clearly shows that a timely diagnosis and timely treatment can help to prevent the development of complications and improve the patient's quality of life.

Highlights

The study is devoted to the analysis of metabolic hormones and their relationship with the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, in particular, elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The study included people under the age of 45 with active hormones.

 

Abstract

Aim. To assess the relationship between the levels of LDL and metabolic hormones reflecting metabolic disorders in young people.

Methods. The study included 305 people. The group 1 included 146 people with an LDL level of <2.1 mmol/L, the group 2 included 159 people with an LDL level of ≥4.2 mmol/L. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, HDL and glucose concentrations were determined by enzymatic method using Thermo Fisher Scientific kits (Finland) on a 30i KonelabPrime clinical chemistry analyzer. The calculation of concentrations of LDL was carried out according to the Friedwald formula. The levels of amylin, C-peptide, ghrelin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucagon, interleukin 6, insulin, leptin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, pancreatic polypeptide, peptide YY, tumor necrosis factor alpha were determined by multiplex analysis using the Human Metabolic Hormone V3 (MILLIPLEX) panel on a Luminex MAGPIX flow fluorimeter.

Results. In the group of patients with LDL ≥4.2 mmol/L, fasting glucose disorders were much more prevalent, the average BMI (p = 0,0001) was higher, and arterial hypertension was twice as frequent (24.8% vs. 11.6%, p = 0.003) compared with the group 1. The levels of triglycerides, TC, and glucose were higher, whereas HDL level was lower in the group 2(p = 0,0001). In patients with LDL ≥4.2 mmol/L, the values of HOMA-IR and the occurrence of IR (83.8%) according to the HOMA-IR were higher compared with the group with LDL <2.1 mmol/L (p = 0,0001). Statistically significant differences in the levels of the studied indicators between the groups 1 and 2 were obtained for C-peptide, GLP-1, insulin and leptin. The relative chance of having LDL≥4.2 mmol/L is associated with an increase in the level of C-peptide (OR = 2.042, 95% CI 1.209–3.449, p = 0.008) and a decrease in the level of GLP-1 (OR = 0.997, 95% CI 0.996–0.999, p = 0.001).

Conclusion. An increase in LDL levels in young people is associated with disorders of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. These data are confirmed by changes in the serum metabolic markers that characterize metabolic disorders in the human body.
CURRENT VIEWS ON THE ROLE OF GROWTH DIFFERENTIATION FACTOR 15 IN THE GENESIS, COURSE AND OUTCOME OF CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOLOGY
Authors: Ibragimova Regina E. , Zakharyan Elena A.
Published: October 2023

Highlights

The article summarizes the data on the influence of growth and differentiation factor 15 on the genesis, course and outcomes of cardiovascular system pathologies. The presented analysis of experts' opinions allows to approach the answer to the question, which is topical in the scientific community: whether this factor promotes the progression of cardiovascular diseases or performs a protective function.

 

Abstract

Growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a circulating protein and is associated with a variety of pathological processes, including being a marker of endothelial dysfunction. GDF-15 expression is upregulated in cardiomyocytes after ischemia, reperfusion, pressure overload and mechanical stretch, allowing it to be used for the diagnosis of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension and heart failure. This paper presents a review of studies that have focused on the diagnostic spectrum of this marker. We also considered two perspectives on the role of GDF-15 in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease: as a factor contributing to pathology progression or as performing a compensatory function? The introduction of highly specific markers, in particular GDF-15, into clinical practice may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications, disability and mortality.
Stress State and Earthquake Triggering on the Outer Rise of the Southern Vanuatu Subduction Zone, Southern New Caledonia
Authors: Chin Shao-Jinn , Sutherland Rupert , Savage Martha K. , Collot Julien , Monge Olivier , Townend John
Published: October 2023

An analysis of earthquakes recorded in southern New Caledonia (SNC) over 14 months during 2018–2019 reveals focal mechanisms consistent with a normal-faulting stress state. The minimum principal stress is perpendicular to the Vanuatu subduction zone (VSZ), which is 200 km away, and is highly oblique to the local topographic ridge of New Caledonia, which may induce additional tension. An Mw 7.5 earthquake occurred in VSZ on 5 December 2018, and focal mechanisms appear to be different to those before the big earthquake. Significant increase in seismicity rates in both VSZ and SNC are observed following this large earthquake. A strong correlation between local and subduction zone seismicity rates is confirmed by analyses of seismic records before and after large subduction zone earthquakes 200–350 km away during the period of 2000–2018. The local seismicity rate and seismic hazard in SNC is about four times higher immediately after a large subduction earthquake, and Omori decay returns it to background levels after about 30 days. The triggering mechanisms remains unclear, but our study provides the first observations and a framework for future work.
Back-Azimuth Estimation of Air-to-Ground Coupled Infrasound from Transverse Coherence Minimization
Authors: Bishop Jordan W. , Haney Matthew M. , Fee David , Matoza Robin S. , McKee Kathleen F. , Lyons John J.
Published: October 2023

We present the transverse coherence minimization method (TCM)—an approach to estimate the back-azimuth of infrasound signals that are recorded on an infrasound microphone and a colocated three-component seismometer. Accurate back-azimuth information is important for a variety of monitoring efforts, but it is currently only available for infrasound arrays and for seismoacoustic sensor pairs separated by 10 s of meters. Our TCM method allows for the analysis of colocated sensor pairs, sensors located within a few meters of each other, which may extend the capabilities of existing seismoacoustic networks and supplement operating infrasound arrays. This approach minimizes the coherence of the transverse component of seismic displacement with the infrasound wave to estimate the infrasound back-azimuth. After developing an analytical model, we investigate seismoacoustic signals from the August 2012 Humming Roadrunner experiment and the 26 May 2021 eruption of Great Sitkin Volcano, Alaska, U.S.A., at the ranges of 6.5–185 km from the source. We discuss back-azimuth estimates and potential sources of deviation (1°–15°), such as local terrain effects or deviation from common analytical models. This practical method complements existing seismoacoustic tools and may be suitable for routine application to signals of interest.

Authors:   , DuBose Jerome R. , Tzabbar Daniel
Published: October 2023

This dissertation probes the individual and collective influences of innovation strategy, organizational culture, management involvement, and psychological safety on the formulation and implementation of transformational innovation within the collaborative innovation framework. The guiding question is: How do these elements shape the development and execution of transformational innovation in a collaborative innovation environment? Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study prioritizes a human-centric perspective, which provides a comprehensive understanding of the variables influencing innovation outcomes. Innovation strategy is defined as an organization's strategic plan to foster and manage innovation. Organizational culture encompasses shared values and practices within an organization. Management involvement implies the active participation of organizational leaders in the innovation process. Psychological safety refers to a shared belief among employees that they can express ideas freely without negative consequences. Transformational innovation indicates significant, potentially disruptive innovations. Finally, the implementation of innovation means the practical application of innovative ideas within an organization. This dissertation offers valuable insights for organizations seeking to amplify their innovative capacity. The results underscore the importance of psychological safety and illuminate the nuanced role of management in implementing innovation. The study enriches the existing literature by offering an understanding of the dynamics of transformational innovation, providing actionable insights. It also proposes future research directions, such as an in-depth examination of management's role in implementing innovation and the conditions conducive to its success. Ultimately, this study enhances our understanding of transformational innovation, enabling organizations to become more adaptable and resilient in the changing business environment.

The article discusses a new effective methodology for forecasting natural disasters. The technique is a combination of two methods of observing natural phenomena. The first method involves continuous monitoring of the electromagnetic signal observed at the epicenter of a future natural disaster. The second method, based on the signal trend analysis, predicts the moment of the expected natural event. The effectiveness of the methodology is demonstrated by the example of a retro predict of the Hunga-Tong volcano eruption, which confirmed the actual eruption date. Additionally, a prediction was made for the date of the future volcanic eruption.

Perspectivas educativas en América Latina a la salida de la pandemia
Authors: Acevedo Ivonne , Székely Miguel , Zoido Pablo
Published: October 2023

El documento presenta un estudio enfocado en analizar las consecuencias observables de la pandemia de la COVID 19, en el sector educativo, en América Latina. Para ello se realizó el procesamiento de encuestas de hogares y/o empleo de 15 países de la región que cuentan a la fecha con datos disponibles, considerando que entre ellos se incluye a más del 80 por ciento de la población total de la región. La pregunta que guio el análisis en la investigación es ¿qué nos dicen estos datos respecto de la asistencia escolar en la población de 5 años y más en América Latina? y por extensión, ¿cómo estos cambios visibles afectan al ámbito educativo o generan riesgos posteriores? Se concluye que las tasas de asistencia escolar para los estudiantes de entre 4 y 14 años se redujo significativamente en 2020, pero a partir de 2021 retorno a sus niveles prepandemia en la mayoría de los países, tal como las brechas de asistencia escolar por género y entre zonas urbanas y rurales, y los porcentajes de jóvenes que no estudian ni trabajan. Por otro lado, el documento vincula los resultados provenientes del estudio a un análisis de la evolución de los retornos económicos a la educación en los últimos 15 años. Los resultados muestran que los retornos educativos han mantenido una tendencia decreciente desde hace dos décadas, lo que podría tener implicaciones importantes para los sistemas educativos.

Authors:   Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo
Published: October 2023

La resiliencia, esa capacidad de un ser vivo de adaptarse frente a una situación adversa, el ser humano la ha podido desarrollar cuando su entorno se lo ha requerido. Individuos, familias y civilizaciones han encontrado soluciones a los problemas que le ha planteado su contexto durante siglos y milenios. Actualmente, el impacto del cambio climático representa una amenaza para las empresas y comunidades de América Latina y el Caribe, pero también puede representar una oportunidad si a través de nuevas prácticas resilientes, las personas son capaces de aprovechar mejor sus recursos. PROADAPT es un proyecto del Banco Inter-Americano de Desarrollo (BID), creado en asociación con el Fondo Nórdico de Desarrollo (NDF), que identifica y pilotea el desarrollo de metodologías, herramientas y modelos de negocio innovadores para ayudar a la MiPyme en América Latina y el Caribe a aumentar su propia resiliencia climática y aprovechar aquellas oportunidades de negocio relacionadas. A la fecha, Proadapt ha invertido cerca de 12 millones de dólares en asistencia técnica, esparcidos en diversas prácticas que promueven la adaptación al cambio climático, como la agroforestería, la silvipastura, el ahorro de recursos y el reciclaje, entre otras. A continuación, se presentan casos prácticos y de desarrollo de conocimiento en los que los productores de América Latina y el Caribe, encontraron formas de blindarse ante la variabilidad climática y sobreponerse ante las dificultades que las nuevas condiciones ambientales le presentan.

Published: October 2023

Por medio del análisis de 256 leyes federales vigentes en 2008, 131 reglas de operación y fuentes secundarias se identificaron 409 órganos colegiados de deliberación. En 163 casos se trata de instancias públicas de deliberación, donde actores gubernamentales y no gubernamentales deliberan en el espacio público sobre diversos campos de políticas públicas. Se analizan las principales características de estos espacios, incluyendo la temática, el área de gobierno donde se inscriben y sus funciones, y se mide la visibilidad pública de estos órganos en internet. Se concluye que estos mecanismos de participación son relativamente abundantes, pero son opacos. Sólo 53 por ciento de estas instancias entregan algún tipo de información a la ciudadanía. De ahí que se discuta su eficacia y legitimidad como mecanismos de participación ciudadana.AbstractThrough analysis of 256 federal laws, 131 rules of operation and secondary sources were identified 409 advisory councils. 163 cases were public bodies of deliberation, where state and nongovernmental actors deliberate on various fields of public policy in public space. It discusses the main features of these spaces, including the subject and the area of government where these spaces fall and their functions, and measures the online public visibility of these bodies. We conclude that these participatory mechanisms are relatively abundant, but they are opaque. Only 53 per cent of these instances give any information to the public. Hence, we discuss its effectiveness and legitimacy as citizen participation mechanisms.
¿Ilegalidad justificada?: clientelismo controlado en la administración chilena
Authors: Moriconi Bezerra Marcelo
Published: October 2023

La administración pública chilena es considerada una de las más eficientes de Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, diversos estudios dan cuenta de las instituciones informales que operan entre el Poder Legislativo y la burocracia a la hora de reclutar funcionarios. Aunque muchas de estas prácticas clientelares van en contra de lo estipulado por la ley, han sido defendidas desde ámbitos políticos y científicos. La cultura de la legalidad no es un valor importante si ciertos índices responden positivamente. Analizar cómo la corrupción y el clientelismo han sido obviados, u ocultados, tanto en los análisis políticos como en los diagnósticos técnicos sobre el accionar de la burocracia, permite entender por qué tras veinte años de reformas administrativas hay prácticas nocivas para la democracia que no logran erradicarse.AbstractThe Chilean civil service is considered one of the most efficient in Latin America. However, different studies describe the informal institutions that operate between the Legislative Power and the bureaucracy to fill positions in the public administration. Although some of these clientelistic practices are against the law, they have been accepted and defended in both the political and scientific spheres. Legality is not considered an important value if certain indexes have a positive development. In this context, it is important to study how corruption and clientelism have been ignored, or hidden, through political discourses and technical reports about the situation of bureaucracy. All of this allows a better understanding of why after 20 years of administrative reforms there are damaging practices which negatively affect democracy that have not been eradicated.
The Birth of British Self-Defence: 1604-1904
Authors: Bowman Paul
Published: October 2023

This article examines the discourse of self-defence as it emerged and developed in the British context after the introduction of self-defence as a legal term in English common law in 1604. Twentieth-century self-defence discourse is comparatively more well-researched than previous periods, but this study suggests that the concerns, contours and characteristics of current self-defence discourse were established much earlier, growing in the seventeenth, flowering in the eighteenth and maturing during the nineteenth centuries. The study traces this development by examining self-defence books published in Britain between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. This covers a 300-year period from 1604 (the year that the legal precedent for self-defence was set in England) to 1904 (the year in which publications on jujutsu mark an orientalist reconfiguration of a hitherto Eurocentric self-defence discourse).
The genetics of fruit color in Cucurbita pepo L.
Authors: Korottseva I. B. , Ermolaev A. S. , Khimich G. A.
Published: October 2023

Species Cucurbita pepo L., which includes marrow, squash, hard-barked pumpkin and a number of other crops, has a high polymorphism both in plant structure and in shape, size, color of the bark and fruit pulp. The color of the bark of the fruits of this species can be white, cream, yellow, green, orange with or without a pattern. Appearance can greatly influence the marketing success of new hybrids among the target audience. This is explained by the fact that there are strong regional consumer preferences regarding the color of fruits, although most often, on the shelves of chain stores, in fresh or canned form, you can find fruits of bright, saturated colors and shades. At the same time, brightly colored fruits are more often used for canning, while light-colored ones are used for processing into caviar [1]. Paris H.S. and Brown R.N. summarized the identification of more than 80 gene loci that affect fruit color in Cucurbita pepo L., some of which are multi-allelic [2]. The color of the fruit in hard-barked pumpkin depends on the presence and interaction between the loci responsible for this trait, and many other factors, including growing conditions [3,4]. In cucurbits, in different phenophases, different genes are responsible for color [5–7]. All this makes the selection of summer squash and scallop on the basis of the color of the fruit bark very difficult. Knowing the genetics of coloration can make this task easier. In this article, we tried to summarize the results of studies presented in foreign literature sources on the study of Cucurbita pepo L. genes responsible for the color of the surface of the fruit and pulp, its intensity, the presence or absence of a pattern of various colors and configurations. No domestic studies on this topic could be found.
Evaluación de los aprendizajes en educación superior: aportes de fuentes académicas para docentes hispanohablantes
Authors: Maldonado Fuentes Ana Carolina , Rodriguez Alveal Francisco
Published: October 2023

El objetivo fue indagar sobre la evaluación de los aprendizajes como conocimiento profesional docente, necesario para juzgar qué tanto se han alcanzado los propósitos educativos a nivel terciario. Se realizó una revisión documental centrada en el análisis de fuentes académicas, en Web of Science, entre 2017-2021, arrojando un total de 56 artículos en español. Tras aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión, a doble ciego, se analizó el contenido de 17 publicaciones alusivas a variados enfoques, prevaleciendo las nociones de evaluación formativa, evaluación para el aprendizaje y uso de retroalimentación en innovaciones pedagógicas. En menor escala se observaron marcos teóricos basados en antecedentes históricos y conceptuales. Se plantea la idea de superar una mirada simplificada del tema para reorientar la formación y alfabetización en evaluación de futuros docentes hispanohablantes en educación superior.

Cambio de uso de tierra y su impacto en la cobertura vegetal del Parque Nacional Tingo María entre los años 2006-2021
Authors: Zuloaga-Obregón José Luis , Gabriel-Campos Edwin Natividad
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo se desarrolla con la finalidad de analizar los cambios de uso de tierra y su impacto en la cobertura vegetal dentro del Área Natural Protegida (ANP) Parque Nacional Tingo María (PNTM) e identificar los actores y agentes territoriales vinculados a dichos cambios, entre los años 2006 y 2021. Para ello, ha sido conveniente aplicar metodologías cualitativas, mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y una observación no participante; así como metodologías cuantitativas, mediante el procesamiento de imágenes satelitales para determinar las tasas de cambios de uso de tierra. Los resultados muestran que durante los años estudiados existen cambios en las coberturas de suelos intervenidos y la cobertura vegetal, ambos localizados en las Zonas de Uso Especial y Amortiguamiento del Parque Nacional, que están asociados a prácticas de una agricultura extensiva destinada al autoconsumo y al mercado local. En la gestión del PNTM participan la población local, organizada con los gestores del parque, las universidades e instituciones locales y regionales. Se concluye que, a través del periodo estudiado, los cambios de cobertura, a diferencia de otras ANP, no han sido significativos debido al accionar conjunto de los actores institucionales y población local que frenaron el surgimiento de actividades ilegales y no autorizadas que pudiesen impactar directamente en la cobertura vegetal del PNTM, lo que representa un modelo de gestión efectiva de un espacio natural que brinda diversos servicios ecosistémicos.

Authors: Carvache-Franco Orly , Víquez-Paniagua Ana Gabriela , Carvache-Franco Mauricio , Pérez-Orozco Allan , Carvache-Franco Wilmer
Published: October 2023

This research evaluates response strategies to crisis communication, in terms of perceived risks, in organizations during the Covid-19 pandemic by studying the main discussion topics in social media. The data was collected from Twitter between March and April 2020. By using big data software, a total number of 3559255 tweets in different languages were extracted worldwide from Twitter API of popular hashtags on the Covid-19 pandemic. The data processing was carried out through the association of terms in order to identify patterns and relationships in the discussion topics. The results indicate that the relationships of the terms "crisis" and "risks" were statistically significant with seven important topics for businesses, users, and consumers: "business", "economic and financial", "social"," health"," work"," family" and "government"; and in turn these seven topics are related to other terms related to the impact of the crisis, the response to the crisis, aid, the watch out, and support. This research has implications for the situational crisis communication theory by showing that in situations with high perceived risk, such as the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, the use of crisis response strategies predominates in organizations. This research also has implications for managers who can use crisis response strategies to rebuild their reputation and avoid market losses, thus helping to reduce the effects of unpredictable crisis situations.
The role of intellectual capital on innovation: Evidence from Hungarian SMEs
Authors: Rideg András , Szerb László , Varga Anna Róza
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the relationship between intellectual capital components and innovation on a sample of 1243 Hungarian small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) drawn from the Global Competitiveness Project (GCP). The results of the logistic regressions reveal a significantly positive effect of structural capital and relational capital on innovation, whereas the impact of human capital is not significant. The results show the importance for entrepreneurs of strengthening intellectual capital in order to increase SMEs innovation, and advise policymakers on how to mobilize support schemes for the renewal of SMEs with low individual but high collective innovation potential. Instead of examining large enterprises and startups, the novelty of the study relies on the analysis of the connections between intellectual capital components and innovation in the context of mature Hungarian SMEs.
The Unintended Consequences of the Full Inclusion Movement
Authors: M Kauffman James , Ahrbeck Bernd , Anastasiou Dimitris , Felder Marion , Hornby Garry , Lopes Joao
Published: October 2023

The full inclusion movement (FIM) has unintended consequences for children with disabilities when the meaning of inclusion primarily focuses on place, not appropriateness of instruction. The roots of the FIM are long, and it is now a world-wide phenomenon emphasizing place of instruction rather than appropriateness and effectiveness of instruction. It has also been part of attempts to reform education for children with disabilities. Inclusive special education balances considerations of placement and instruction and is an alternative way forward that does not deny any student the right to appropriate education.

Merchant entrepreneurship in the European North of Russia in the second third of the XIX century: opportunities and risks (case study of the Vologda province)
Authors: Leyman I.
Published: October 2023

The paper considers, in addition to trade and industry, various forms of entrepreneurship of the merchants in the European North of Russia in the second third of the XIX century, case study of the Vologda province. The main source was publications in the Vologda Provincial Gazette for 1838-1860. Based on the results of the analysis of materials, it is possible to single out: insurance business; rental property; private lending, etc. Various concomitant risks of entrepreneurial activity of merchants were also noted, such as: damage to equipment at enterprises due to fire or natural disasters; non-payments for goods or loans; loss of cargo during transportation, etc. The consequence of the inefficient circulation of financial resources could be the auction sale of the merchant's movable or immovable property to cover debts; declaring a merchant "an insolvent debtor"; transition to philistinism. If the merchant committed a crime or misdemeanor, the deprivation of a good name was part of the criminal punishment.
V.V. Vereshchagin and the "invention" of the North in literature and journalism of the late XIX – early XX century (part one)
Authors: Vsevolodov A.
Published: October 2023

In the Russian intellectual space of the last quarter of the XIX – early XX centuries the North of the European part of the country was increasingly recognized as a special historical and cultural area. Remaining as before in the position of colonized outskirts with a huge but still unclaimed economic potential, now the North has begun to arouse interest of a different kind. In the reign of Alexander III, its political and strategic importance was realized; moreover, with the advent of the first railways in the region, it became much more accessible for travel than before. As a result, in the 1890s a specific northern discourse was being formed in journalism. A key role in this process was played by the travel notes of the Arkhangelsk governor A.P. Engelhardt (1897), in which the nomination "Russian" was used for the first time in relation to the North, although not in an ethnic, but in a political sense. In constructing the image of the region, ideas about its "abandonment", isolation were also used. The North was portrayed as a territory that passed the peak of its development in the XVI–XVII centuries, and then became more and more isolated from the rest of Russia, primarily due to the shift in trade and transport communications. By the 1910s, among the discursive dominants, the notion of the social and cultural identity of the North and the national significance of the monuments of its antiquity, as a heritage that was under the threat of extinction, was also entrenched.

A special group of "Northern" narratives were evidence left by artists – in travel notes, short stories, autobiographies. In particular, A.A. Borisov, V.V. Perepletchikov, I.E. Grabar’ and, earlier than the others, V.V. Vereshchagin wrote about the North. An essay of the latter "On the Northern Dvina. On the wooden churches" (1895), considered in the paper, is an example of the author's construction of the image of the region.

Günümüzde COVID-19'un kesin tanısı için en önemli yöntem, nazofaringeal sürüntü (NS) örneklerinde şiddetli akut solunum sendromu koronavirüs 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA'sının RT-PCR ile tanımlanmasıdır. Nazofaringeal sürüntü örneğinin alınması bazen olumsuz etkileri olan rahatsız edici bir işlem olup, örneklemeyi yapan sağlık personeli için de enfeksiyon riski oluşturmaktadır. SARS-CoV-2 tanısında tükürük örneğini kullanmak NS'ye göre daha az invaziv alternatif bir yöntemdir. Altın standart NS ile tükürük protokollerinin uyumunu değerlendiren çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, PCR bazlı SARS-CoV-2 tanısında, sağlık çalışanı tarafından alınan NS örneği ile tükürük örneği ve kişinin kendinden NS alma yöntemini karşılaştırmaktır. 2178 hastadan alınan tükürük ve NS örnekleme çeşitleri SARS-CoV-2 varlığı açısından RT-PCR ile analiz edilmiştir. Örneklerinden en az birinde SARS-CoV-2 tespit edilen 684 hastanın, sağlık çalışanı tarafından alınan NS örneğinin 606'sı (%88,59), kişinin kendinden aldığı NS örneğinin 402'si (%58,77) ve tükürük örneğinin 456'sı (%66,66) pozitif bulunmuştur. Kişinin kendinden aldığı NS örneği ve tükürük örneklerinin kullanılabilmesi istatistik olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. NS örneklerine alternatif yöntemin olması hastaları invaziv ve ağrılı bir işlemden kurtaracak ve örnek alan sağlık personelinin enfeksiyon riskini azaltacaktır. SARS-CoV-2 tanısında tükürük örneklerinin ya da kişinin kendinden aldığı NS örneğinin test için kullanımı, hastanelerin iş yükünü azaltabilir, test sonuçlarının süresini kısaltabilir, asemptomatik popülasyonları test etmek için daha fazla kapasite sağlayarak enfekte hastaların hızlı bir şekilde izolasyonunu sağlayabilecektir.

TORCH enfeksiyonları, Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella, Sitomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes simpleks virüs ve diğer bazı patojenlerin neden olduğu, anne-fetal bariyeri geçebilen ve potansiyel olarak fetüsün gelişimini olumsuz etkileyebilen bir grup enfeksiyonu ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, doğurganlık çağındaki kadınlarda konjenital enfeksiyonlara neden olma potansiyeline sahip Toksoplazma, Rubella ve CMV’ye karşı oluşan antikorların seroprevalansının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. 1 Ocak 2020 ve 1 Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında laboratuvarımıza anti-Toksoplazma IgM ve IgG, anti-Rubella IgM ve IgG, anti-CMV IgM ve IgG serolojisinin araştırılması amacı ile gönderilen doğurganlık çağındaki 15–49 yaş arası toplam 2155 kadına ait test sonuçları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Hasta serumlarında, IgM ve IgG antikorları Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA-VIDAS, bioMérieux, Fransa) yöntemi ile tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda anti-Toksoplazma IgM pozitifliği %0,5, anti-Toksoplazma IgG pozitifliği %19,4; anti-Rubella IgM pozitifliği %0,5, anti-Rubella IgG pozitifliği %92,3; anti-CMV IgM pozitifliği %0,5, anti-CMV IgG pozitifliği ise %99,9 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Toksoplazma IgG seropozitifliği ile yaş grubu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu ve yaşın azalması ile istatistiksel olarak arttığı tespit edilmiştir (p

The Risk-Need-Responsivity Model on Inmate Rehabilitation
Authors: Zubairu Nasiru
Published: October 2023

The article examines the nature, causes, and implications of inmate rehabilitation in Nigeria by explaining the Risk-Need-Responsivity model. The study reviewed secondary qualitative data, mostly a literature review, and it reinforced and added to the existing body of knowledge on inmate rehabilitation worldwide, particularly in Nigeria. The article finds that there are causes of congestion in the custodial center, such as overuse of imprisonment, a slow judicial process, insufficient prison capacity, a lack of adequate police investigation and prosecution, resource and operational efficiency, and a delay in the administration of justice. The paper adopts Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) theory to outline the process of the significance of rehabilitation towards inmates. The model emphasizes assessing and treating inmates according to their ability and risk of re-offending. The research applied a case study that examined the causes of custodial center congestion and identified the implications on inmate rehabilitation in Nigeria. The paper revealed that the consequences of custodial center congestion are spreading infectious disease, breakdown of social control, poor custodial center conditions, access to rehabilitation programs, and too much cost to the State. The study also explained various correctional facilities provide rehabilitation programs based on the criminogenic needs of the inmate, such as counseling programs, adult education, vocational programs, sports and leisure activities, and religious activities.

Poderes excepcionales. Suspender y limitar derechos fundamentales. A propósito de la STC 148/2021, de 14 de julio
Authors: Ródenas Calatayud Ángeles , Ruiz Manero Juan
Published: October 2023

La sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional 148/2021, de 14 de julio, introduce una drástica modificación en la configuración del poder para declarar el estado de alarma respecto de su conformación originaria por parte del legislador orgánico. Para examinarlo, los autores comienzan exponiendo los diferentes argumentos del Tribunal Constitucional en la sentencia citada, vinculando cada uno de ellos con cada uno de los requisitos de la norma que confiere poder para declarar el estado de alarma. El corazón de la argumentación del TC se encuentra en el requisito de competencia material. La sentencia citada es objeto por parte de los autores de un análisis crítico que versa básicamente sobre la diferencia entre limitar y suspender un derecho fundamental, lo que a su vez constituye la piedra angular de la argumentación del TC.  A juicio de los autores, la declaración del estado de alarma por parte del Consejo de Ministros en fecha 14 de marzo fue una medida claramente constitucional, puesto que encaja perfectamente con lo que sería una reconstrucción adecuada de lo que supone una limitación de un derecho fundamental.
El orden público en tiempos de crisis. Un análisis crítico del empleo de la categoría de orden público en la respuesta del Tribunal Constitucional a la pandemia de la COVID-19
Authors: García Ortiz Adrián
Published: October 2023

Pese a su trascendencia como cláusula habilitadora del estado de excepción y, en consecuencia, de suspensión de derechos fundamentales, el Tribunal Constitucional, en su sentencia 148/2021, que declara la inconstitucionalidad del estado de alarma decretado para la gestión de la pandemia de la COVID-19, resuelve en un solo párrafo y sin apoyo en su propia jurisprudencia, el significado y el alcance del orden público. El presente trabajo trata de analizar las causas de técnica jurídica que han conducido al Tribunal Constitucional a concebir el orden público en sentido amplio y los riesgos que ello conlleva, partiendo del análisis del concepto y caracterización del orden público en general y, en concreto, en el Derecho español, en que han convivido dos acepciones del término: como sistema constitucional de valores y como normalidad democrática o ausencia de conflicto.
