Some Aspects of Understanding the Contract
Authors:   Ural Branch, Russian State University of Justice, Chelyabinsk, Russia, Lebedeva Ekaterina V.
Published: April 2024

The contract as a complex, multifaceted category is used not only in jurisprudence, but also in other doctrines, teachings, and in the direct practical activities of various subjects. At the same time, if viewed from a legal point of view, the contract (as a certain agreement that meets specific criteria) permeates almost all spheres of public relations under the influence of law. The contract occupies a significant place in the regulation of relations under the influence of private law norms. The concept of a contract is repeatedly disclosed by the legislator in various normative legal acts. However, even within the framework of one branch of law (for example, civil law), the mention of a contract may be disclosed in various senses. Doctrinal points of view also reveal a wide range of multiple approaches to understanding the treaty. This circumstance indicates the absence of a single clear understanding of the contract neither in the law nor in the doctrine, which causes some problems in the framework of law enforcement activities. The goals and objectives of the study are to identify legislatively defined and doctrinal positions regarding the concept of a contract (legal and individual). The study was conducted using a comparative legal method, which made it possible to study the position of the legislator regarding the concept of contract in such branches of law as civil, labor, family, etc. In addition, formal logical and systematic methods were used in the work. The result of the study is a brief comparative legal analysis of the provisions of legislation containing norms on the regulation of legal relations between the parties through a contract. The legislator has not clearly expressed his position on the legal nature of individual contracts (in particular, employment and marriage contracts), which gives rise to their ambiguous interpretation, causing difficulties in law enforcement.
Demographic Policy of the Soviet State during the Great Patriotic War: Legal Novels and their Social Consequences
Authors:   North-Western Branch, Russian State University of Justice, St. Petersburg, Russia, Boldyrev Vladimir A.
Published: April 2024

The adoption of the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values and the restoration of the title “Mother Heroine” in the Russian state award system testifies to the state’s concern about the problem of a strong and large family, makes us turn to the Soviet experience in solving the demographic problem that arose during the Great Patriotic war. The purpose of the work is to assess the impact on society of legislative decisions taken to improve the demographic situation in the conditions of the Great Patriotic War. The objectives of the study are: to describe and characterize new legal measures in the field of demography, to establish the impact of legislative decisions on family values, to determine the prospects for using individual measures to improve the demographic situation in modern Russia. The work uses historical-legal, formal-dogmatic, statistical and comparative research methods. The measures taken aimed at stimulating the birth rate are analyzed: 1) material support for large families and single mothers; 2) the abolition of the right to claim for establishing paternity; 3) complicating the divorce procedure; 4) moral encouragement of motherhood. Statistical data on the cost of food are given, indicating that the material support of motherhood by the state (payment of benefits) could not have a significant positive impact on the birth rate. The Soviet state resorted to stimulating demographic processes on the basis of existing ideas about the system of human needs, but the approach used turned out to be fraught with serious social problems. The change in public morality – the manifestation of tolerance towards men who are indifferent to the fate of their offspring, which led to the aggravation of the problem of fatherlessness – was a “side effect” of the radical novelization of family law and changes in the norms on the social security of citizens. In the Soviet and modern period, the need to recognize the merits of fathers with many children who conscientiously fulfill their maintenance and upbringing duties to their children remained out of sight of the legislator.

Quantifying accuracy and precision from continuous response data in studies of spatial perception and crossmodal recalibration
Authors: Bruns Patrick , Thun Caroline , Röder Brigitte
Published: April 2024

The ability to detect the absolute location of sensory stimuli can be quantified with either error-based metrics derived from single-trial localization errors or regression-based metrics derived from a linear regression of localization responses on the true stimulus locations. Here we tested the agreement between these two approaches in estimating accuracy and precision in a large sample of 188 subjects who localized auditory stimuli from different azimuthal locations. A subsample of 57 subjects was subsequently exposed to audiovisual stimuli with a consistent spatial disparity before performing the sound localization test again, allowing us to additionally test which of the different metrics best assessed correlations between the amount of crossmodal spatial recalibration and baseline localization performance. First, our findings support a distinction between accuracy and precision. Localization accuracy was mainly reflected in the overall spatial bias and was moderately correlated with precision metrics. However, in our data, the variability of single-trial localization errors (variable error in error-based metrics) and the amount by which the eccentricity of target locations was overestimated (slope in regression-based metrics) were highly correlated, suggesting that intercorrelations between individual metrics need to be carefully considered in spatial perception studies. Secondly, exposure to spatially discrepant audiovisual stimuli resulted in a shift in bias toward the side of the visual stimuli (ventriloquism aftereffect) but did not affect localization precision. The size of the aftereffect shift in bias was at least partly explainable by unspecific test repetition effects, highlighting the need to account for inter-individual baseline differences in studies of spatial learning.

Published: April 2024

In people over 60 years, the most common diseases are the cardiovascular system and geriatric syndromes. Dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia are traditional cardiovascular risk factors. However, their impact on the major geriatric syndromes development among people over 60 years remains unclear. The relationship between the presence of diabetes mellitus type 2 and the development of frailty, sarcopenia, cognitive impairment depends on age. With increasing age, the influence of chronic hyperglycemia on geriatric syndromes decreases and in centenarians it acquires a neutral role. Recent studies have shown that in people over 60 years old low HDL levels are associated with the development of frailty, sarcopenia, cognitive impairment.

Published: April 2024

Recently, emotion analysis technology has been developed to classify emotions felt in texts such as sentences and documents, and it is being used in a variety of research, including literature. Because emotions are an important foundation for understanding literature, it is important to apply emotion analysis technology in literary research, and efforts are needed to improve problems that arise during the emotion analysis process for the development of technology. This study explains the problems that arise from existing labeling methods when constructing learning data, and introduces ‘emotion lexicon-based emotion labeling’ to improve these problems. To prove the effectiveness of emotion lexicon-based labeling, we constructed two learning data with different emotion labeling methods, entered them into a emotion analysis model, and compared the results. As a result, the accuracy of the model using emotion lexicon-based labeling was 91.95%, showing approximately 20% higher performance than the model using existing labeling. In addition, as a result of going beyond quantitative evaluation and directly checking the analysis results by inputting literary passages from the CSAT into the model, the model using emotion lexicon-based labeling showed better predictive power.

Published: April 2024

The cafe business in Busan exhibits an annual growth trend, driven by an improving economic level and an increasing demand. Trends and consumption patterns in the cafe industry are subject to various influencing factors, and the volatility has intensified, particularly due to unexpected societal changes such as COVID-19. This study aims to analyze and predict trends in Busan's cafe business by considering population trends, the number of COVID cases, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of Busan. In particular, according to customer usage patterns, we will classify cafes as in-store cafe and takeout cafe, and analyze trends and forecasts of the number of cafes in a multivariate time series. The data used in this paper is collected and utilized from public data, and the open source Python programming language is used for analysis. The Busan cafe commercial district analysis method uses regression analysis, SARIMAX (Seasonal AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average with eXogenous), and VAR (Vector Autoregression). Through this, we understand how the two types of cafes are affected by environmental variables and compare the performance and prediction ability of each analysis method. The results derived from this are expected to provide useful insights into the future development direction and prediction of the local cafe commercial area.

Desafíos Enfrentados por Estudiantes de Telesecundaria en el Aprendizaje del Inglés como Lengua Extranjera
Authors: Zárate Mejía Esteban Juan Bautista
Published: April 2024

La escuela Telesecundaria surgió como una respuesta gubernamental para atender las necesidades educativas de poblaciones rurales o semi-urbanas. En esta modalidad, las clases se imparten a tarvés de televisión satelital y de un profesor monitor en un salón presencial. Dicho profesor monitor es el encargado de impartir las lecciones de todas las asignaturas que conforman el currículo educativo, incluida la asigantura de Inglés como Lengua Extranjera (ILE). Particularmente, el proceso de aprendizaje de ILE resulta desafiante para los estudiantes de Telesecundaria. Ello se debe a la presencia de cuatro factores: carencias en el entorno social y escolar; falta de materiales didácticos; así como la interacción aúica entre agentes escolares (Martínez; 2005; Navarrete&López, 2022; Sánchez, 2000; Sandoval, 2000; Sántos, 2001). En este sentido, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo anaizar la naturleza de los desafíos que un grupo de estudiantes de una Telesecundaria  ubicada en la zona montañosa del estado de Veracruz, México enfrentaron al aprender ILE. Se emplearon tres métodos de recolección de datos: observaciones, entrevistas y una encuesta. Los resultados revelaron que los estudaintes enfrentaron principalmente tres dificultades: nulo uso de tecnología en el salón de clases, competencias didácticas no adecuadas para la enseñanza del idioma, y procedimientos didácticos no acordes con sus necesidades de aprendizaje de ILE. En contraste, las actitudes de los estudiantes hacia los materiales, así como la interacción entre docente y estudiantes fueron positivas. Estos resultados implen a los docentes de Telesecundaria para que consideren las condiciones contextuales, el uso de materiales didácticos y técnicas de enseñanza de ILE acordes a las necesidades de aprendizaje de los estudiantes.

Background. The patency of the pharyngeal airway has a far-reaching impact on craniofacial development. Conversely, the position of the maxillofacial skeletal components in certain disorders may lead to a compromised airway. Therefore, the evaluation of the airway is an essential step in treatment planning. Objectives. The basic aim of this study was to measure the pharyngeal air space volume in the patients with maxillofacial skeletal abnormalities (like Class II, Class III malocclusion, TMJ Ankylosis, Condylar abnormalities and Syndromic cases) and those without any skeletal abnormalities. The objectives were to assess the Linear, Cross-sectional, and Volumetric dimensions of the pharyngeal airway in patients with and without maxillofacial skeletal abnormalities. (Study and Control group) Materials and methods. The Study group included 49 patients with maxillofacial Skeletal abnormalities like Class II and Class III malocclusion, Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis, Condylar abnormalities, Syndromic cases. 49 Control group patients did not present with any skeletal abnormalities. The Linear, Cross-sectional, and Volumetric dimensions of the pharyngeal airway in the Study group and Control group were calculated and compared within the groups. Statistical Analysis: Unpaired t -test, ANOVA test and Tukey’s Post Hoc analysis test were for the data analysis of the above study. Outcomes. The Anteroposterior dimension of the airway at the Superiormost level was found to be significantly greater in Class II (p-value-0.039), Class III (p-value-0.002), and Control groups (p-value <0.001) when compared with the TMJ Ankylosis group. The Volume and Cross-sectional area of the airway at the most constricted level of the airway was found to be significantly greater in Class III (p-value <0.001) and Control group (p-value 0.013, 0.003) respectively when compared with the TMJ Ankylosis group. Conclusions. The pharyngeal airway was narrowest anteroposteriorly at all three levels (Superior-most, Most constricted, and Inferior-most levels) in the TMJ Ankylosis group and widest in the Class III group. The least cross-sectional area was found in the TMJ Ankylosis group whereas the greatest was found in the Class III group.

Growing numbers of people are using implant-supported fixed prothesis for mandibular resorbed arch, which has created a need for primary care physicians to be more knowledgeable about popular prosthetic attachments and provide access to a wide range of treatment alternatives to assist patient care. The purpose of this study was to report a case of full-mouth rehabilitation on four end osseous implants loaded by the established protocol. In a hypertensive and diabetic patient, the decision was made to place four implants in the mandibular arch and a removable complete denture in the maxillary arch. A good implant-supported fixed prosthesis depends on precise impressions and meticulous attention to detail.

Background. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the degree of mineralization as well of the chemical composition at the interface of failed dental implants with surrounding bone. Material and methods. The analysis was performed on human histological samples by the aid of a scanning electron microscope and an energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (ESEM-EDX). Results. The middle and the apical region of the implant surfaces had higher quantity of bone tissue deposition. A higher degree of mineralization was observed in these two regions as well. Conclusion. From the analysis performed by the aid of scanning electron microscopy, it appears that the bone tissue deposition is better represented in the middle and apical region of the implants.

Maxillofacial bone defects may result from various pathological conditions, such as traumatic tooth extraction, aggressive periodontitis, jaw osteomyelitis, neoplasms, cysts, congenital malformations, and gunshot injuries. These circumstances can pose difficulties in addressing both (primary and secondary) dental adentia, especially when considering dental implantation. One of the current challenges in dentistry is to give more attention to the advancement of innovative osteoplastic materials. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a therapeutic composition that includes stem cells in enhancing the alveolar ridge, as suggested by bone remodeling markers in oral fluid. The research revealed that all study groups showed favorable changes in oral fluid markers of bone metabolism during the extended follow-up period (6-12 months), with statistically significant differences (p2<0.01, 0.05). However, in group A, acid phosphatase activity decreased by 12.98% (p>0.05) and 32.49% (p<0.01, p1<0.05), while alkaline phosphatase increased by 8.73% (p>0.05) and 15.16% (p>0.05), respectively, after one year of observation compared to groups B and C. Thus, it can be inferred that a reduction in acid phosphatase activity, along with a rise in alkaline phosphatase levels in oral fluid, suggests enhanced regenerative processes and the initiation of bone remodeling in the patients belonging to the study group. However, it seems that the procedures were particularly effective in patients belonging to group A, where we used the combination of “Bio-Oss”+MSCs-AT+PRP to fill bone defects. This suggests the best effectiveness of the composition we developed for alveolar ridge augmentation.

Objectives. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of magnetic water (MW) as a mouthwash on the force decay of the orthodontic elastomeric ligature ties. Methods. One hundred twenty elastomeric ties divided into 3 groups (40 ties each) based on mouthwash used: group1: washed with artificial saliva (AS)(control), group 2: washed with Ortho Kin mouthwash (OK), Group 3 washed with prepared magnetic water (MW). Each group was further subdivided into 4 subgroups, 10 ties for each time interval (initially, one day, one week and two weeks). Distilled water had been magnetized using a locally prepared device. 2430 Gauss (Gs) neodymium magnets was used. The force decay for the ties were measured by Instron universal testing machine. The outcomes were detailed as mean force decay changes and was compared with Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, P ≤0.05. Results. The highest force decay value was for MW group at two weeks. For OK group, there was significant difference of force decay in comparison between the initial - one day, and one day - one week. For the MW group, there was significant differences between the initial - two weeks. For MW-OK comparison, significant differences were found at one week. Conclusion. MW caused more force decay in the elastomeric ligature ties than OK mouthwashes especially at two weeks period.

Medical equipment is any instrument, appliance, software, or material intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination for medical purpose. Further, medical equipment maintenance and replacement is a challenging procedure, especially for high-end equipment. This topic has been a long debate as the equipment will increase undesirable failure; where an early maintenance or replacement will result in high investment costs and premature disposal and late maintenance or replacement will lead to malfunctions that can pose serious risks to patient safety and healthcare operations. However, hospitals are unable to decide whether to maintain or replace the equipment especially when the equipment reaches its life and has a high repair cost. A few studies were conducted on the same research topic, but most of the findings emphasized maintenance and replacement methods rather than the criteria contributing to the decision. The criteria to maintain or replace medical equipment play an essential role to ensure the equipment is operating cost-effectively. Hence, the objective of this research is to apply Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach to prioritize important criteria that influence decision-makers to decide whether to maintain or replace medical equipment. Some of potential criteria for the decision-making include maintenance cost, support, and regulatory compliance. This research utilized a mixed method approach to gather preliminary data from medical equipment experts and surveys to prioritize the criteria. Findings suggested a list of criteria that are influenced in decision-making to maintain or replace the medical equipment. The prioritization of the criteria reveals the downtime, life cycle cost and beyond economical repair (BER) to be the most important criteria.
