Astronomer and Surveyor Anton Shahin (1799–1842)
Authors: Klimka Libertas
Published: October 2023

The paper presents a new data on the biography of eminent astronomer and land surveyor of Vilnius and Kharkiv universities Anton Szahin (1799– 1842). He was born in Vilnius; may be the scientist was in relationship with Tatar poet Franciszek Szahin-Sokol. A. Szahin studied at the Teachers Institute of Vilnius University. In 1816 he obtained the degree of Master of Philosophy and in next year was invited to work at the Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University. The Chair of Land Surveying was set up in 1826 and A. Szahin, the author of the first textbooks on higher geodesy (Higher Geodesy and Land Surveying and Levelling, 1929, in Polish) was elected its head. In 1832 the Russian government closed the Vilnius University, as an act of repression after the uprising. A. Szahin was forced to go to Vitebsk where he delivered mathematics at gymnasium. In 1834 A. Szahin was invited to Kharkiv University where he gained the professorship of astronomy.
A Few Words about the Hybrid Nature of Mawlid’s Text of the 18th Century
Authors: Kozhinowa Alla
Published: October 2023

The present article focuses on the text created by Belarusian–Polish–Lithuanian Tatars that admires the birth of the Prophet Muhammad with the ap- propriate title “Mawlid” (Birth). The time of text creation is unknown. Although, the last rewriting of the manuscript is most likely to have taken place no earlier than the second half of the 18th century, that is, according to some researchers, when the Polish language prevailed in texts written by the Tatars who lived on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The language of the text under consideration can be described as hybrid. Hybrid texts were based on a native speaker’s linguistic capabilities with an orientation to some book that served an example. On the one hand, the linguistic structure of such a text reflected the idiolect of its creator, and, on the other hand, it included the elements of the book example the creator was guided by. The objective of the article is to study the lexi- cal structure of the text in question which is a mixture of lexemes belonging to different languages. There are a number of Arabic and Turkish words in the text. Regarding Slavonic words, it is difficult to determine their origin accurately due to genetic links of the languages. Definitely, there have been attested lexemes be- longing to Common Slavic, along with Church Slavonic and East Slavonic words of Polish origin. In conclusion, it is assumed that norms pertaining to the Polish language became weaker gradually. This statement can be supported by the fact that “Mawlid” (Birth) was created no earlier than the 18th century, when the ter- ritories bordering the Russian Empire alongside the territories which had entered the Russian Empire after partitioning the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth were greatly influenced by the East Slavonic dialects as well as standards in writing. The fact that there is a mixture of not only phonetic and morphological but also lexical elements in the text does not seem to suggest that such a process took place only as a result of repeated text rewriting. There also may be a case typical of undifferentiated multilingualism when a speaker does not separate the system of languages and uses the first option that comes to mind without thinking about its linguistic affiliation.
A review the role of Streptococcus bovis in colorectal cancer
Authors: Şahin Talip , Kiliç Ömer , Acar Asli Gül , Severoğlu Zeki
Published: October 2023

Cancer, ranking second among the most commonly encountered diseases worldwide, is exhibiting an increasing incidence over time. Among cancer types, lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer hold the top three positions. Following these, digestive system cancers are the most frequently observed. The rising cancer-related mortality rates and potential difficulties during treatment exacerbate the fears and concerns of cancer patients. Throughout history, cancer has been attempted to be explained through theories such as lymphatic, humoral, blastoma, trauma, chronic irritation, and parasitic hypotheses. In contemporary times, a wealth of information exists concerning the roles of viruses and bacteria in cancer development. Among bacteria, the sole member acknowledged as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is Helicobacter pylori. While there is no conclusive evidence regarding Streptococcus bovis's capacity to induce cancer, substantial suspicions surround this matter. This review delves into the relationship between the Streptococcus bovis group of bacteria, which is associated with cancer but not listed by the IARC, and colorectal cancer.
Museums, ethnographic collections and social identity: reflections on the curatorship shared with the sateré mawé in a university museum in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil
Authors: Lima de Oliveira Lilian Débora , Russi Adriana , Abreu Regina
Published: October 2023

This work presents an experience carried out with the Sateré Mawé people in the identification and qualification of indigenous artifacts seized by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Resources, and which are under the custody of the Amazon Museum belonging to the Federal University of Amazonas. The dialogue between indigenous people and the museum is based on the idea of collaborative museology, centered on the symmetrical relationship in which the relationship between indigenous people and objects identified as belonging to their culture is described. As a methodological resource, six “memory workshops” were held, when the artifacts were presented to indigenous people who described the objects, their uses and names in their own language. We chose to initially outline some aspects and concepts that are mobilized in the research, such as ethnic identity, collaborative museology and the context of museums in Brazil with ethnographic collections. Secondly, we present details of the process for reflection on how identity manifests itself in the experience of collaborative museology with the Sateré-Mawé people in the aforementioned museum. The observation was carried out during the workshops, held within the scope of the Amazon Museum with sateré mawé coming from four communities located in the metropolitan region of Manaus.
ANÁLISE PSICANALÍTICA DE NARRATIVAS: PERSPECTIVAS DE FREUD A LACAN
Authors: Santos Bispo Fábio , Máris Campos Guerra Andréa , Oliveira Bagalho Jaqueline , Celso Pereira Júnior Afonso
Published: October 2023

A discussão proposta neste artigo parte de uma necessidade metodológica comumente verificada no campo da pesquisa psicanalítica ao se propor a lógica que orienta a análise dos dados. Temos visto, nos últimos anos, uma participação cada vez maior da perspectiva psicanalítica na proposição de pesquisas no campo social, nas políticas públicas e na interface com outras áreas de saber ou contextos de atuação do psicanalista, para além da experiência de uma psicanálise em intensão (Lacan, 2003a). Para se introduzir em cada um desses campos, é preciso, pois, que o pesquisador lance mão de outros métodos de coleta, para além do foco em casos clínicos. Entre esses métodos, podemos citar as conversações, propostas por Miller (2005), como uma forma de associação livre coletivizada, de modo a manter a circulação da palavra em conexão com a lógica do método clínico da psicanálise. Além desse, outros métodos, como entrevistas, análise de produções virtuais, análise de textos literários etc., vêm sendo utilizados como formas de investigação da subjetividade e do laço social. O grande desafio é: como manter, nesses outros contextos, a mesma inspiração de foco na dimensão do inconsciente que é a marca da clínica psicanalítica? E mais: que forma de análise pode ser empreendida, de modo a se acolher a subjetividade a partir de dados que já não estão mais na fala, tais como um texto literário ou uma transcrição de entrevista?
SOBRE O ESTATUTO PSICANALÍTICO DA ESCRITA DE SI NAS NARRATIVAS MEMORIALÍSTICAS
Authors: Máris Campos Guerra Andréa , de Oliveira Moreira Jacqueline , Ferreira Rodrigues Bianca
Published: October 2023

A perspectiva metodológica que adota narrativas nas pesquisas clínicas e nas de fenômenos sociais complexos parte dos estudos de campos conexos da literatura, da saúde e da história (Guerra et al., 2017). Enquanto ferramenta conceitual, dialoga, principalmente, com os modelos hermenêuticos de investigação científica. Reorientados pela psicanálise de orientação freudo-lacaniana, adotamos a ideia de narrativa a partir das noções psicanalíticas de inconsciente e memória. Nessa direção, seu uso opera menos pela busca do sentido e mais pela indução que a perda estrutural intrínseca à linguagem engendra. A escrita de si, nesse ato de construção de um saber em torno de um
ARTE E PSICANÁLISE: A PARTILHA DAS NARRATIVAS MEMORIALÍSTICAS ENTRE A CLÍNICA, A ESTÉTICA E A POLÍTICA
Authors: Lessa Malta Amanda , Máris Campos Guerra Andréa , de Oliveira Moreira Jacqueline
Published: October 2023

À pesquisa psicanalítica de fenômenos sociais caberá o desafio de se haver com o real fora da experiência do tratamento analítico, abordando o sujeito enredado aos fenômenos sociais e políticos e considerando os discursos de ordem e poder que envolvem seus atos, escolhas e violências sofridas. Como nos relembra Pinto (2009), a aposta da psicanálise é “proporcionar que cada sujeito construa um modo próprio de lidar com os impasses impostos pela formação discursiva daquele momento da civilização” (p. 4), permitindo-o deslocar-se e interrogar as posições de gozo, controle e repressão que marcam uma existência.

Authors: Fernandes-Ferreira Hugo , Alves Rômulo Romeu  Nóbrega
Published: October 2023

This article aims to realize a brief overview regarding researches involving hunting of wildlife in Brazil. The Amazon is the most studied biome and holds the largest number of date on Ecology, one of the main research tendencies in this field; the second being Ethnozoology, which is most applied in the Caatinga biome. The development of research in the other Brazilian biomes is most urgent. In addition, it is necessary to have more analyses in both number and complexity involving biomass consumption, defaunation impacts, wildlife management and hunting sustainability.

AS CONSEQUÊNCIAS DAS LIGAÇÕES ENTRE ÁREAS DE FORMAÇÃO E OCUPAÇÕES: A PARTICIPAÇÃO DAS MULHERES NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO
Authors: Queiroz Carolina de Medeiros
Published: October 2023

A participação de mulheres no mercado de trabalho aumentou significativamente ao longo das últimas décadas, reflexo da maior escolarização entre elas. Entretanto, persiste a segregação de gênero ocupacional e retornos diferenciados para homens e mulheres. Utilizando dados dos Censos Demográficos de 1980 a 2010 e uma metodologia recente que analisa a ligação entre categorias educacionais e ocupacionais (linkage), lanço mão de um modelo de regressão logística para responder a seguinte pergunta: participação feminina no mercado de trabalho é incentivada quando as mulheres se encontram em uma área de formação que se liga mais às ocupações, possuindo, dessa forma, um mercado de trabalho específico? Percebeu-se que a ligação tem grande influência na probabilidade de participação de mulheres no mercado de trabalho, apesar de ao longo do tempo o efeito ter diminuído. Ainda assim, estar em uma área de formação que possui ligações mais específicas com o mercado de trabalho aumenta a probabilidade de mulheres decidirem participar do mercado. Como esperávamos, para homens estar em um nível-área mais ligado não tem tanto efeito em sua trajetória ocupacional, dado que são pressionados a participarem do mercado de trabalho independentemente de seu nível de ensino.
HYPERDIFFERENTIAL SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS IN THE CONTEXT OF BAYESIAN INFERENCE APPLIED TO ICE-SHEET PROBLEMS
Authors: Reese William , Hart Joseph , Waanders Bart van Bloemen , Perego Mauro , Jakeman John D. , Saibaba Arvind K.
Published: October 2023

Inverse problems constrained by partial differential equations (PDEs) play a critical role in model development and calibration. In many applications, there are multiple uncertain parameters in a model which must be estimated. Although the Bayesian formulation is attractive for such problems, computational cost and high dimensionality frequently prohibit a thorough exploration of the parametric uncertainty. A common approach is to reduce the dimension by fixing some parameters (which we will call auxiliary parameters) to a best estimate and use techniques from PDE-constrained optimization to approximate properties of the Bayesian posterior distribution. For instance, the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) and the Laplace approximation of the posterior covariance can be computed. In this article, we propose using hyperdifferential sensitivity analysis (HDSA) to assess the sensitivity of the MAP point to changes in the auxiliary parameters. We establish an interpretation of HDSA as correlations in the posterior distribution. Our proposed framework is demonstrated on the inversion of bedrock topography for the Greenland ice-sheet with uncertainties arising from the basal friction coefficient and climate forcing (ice accumulation rate).
State of the Science and Ethical Considerations for Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Cystic Kidney Diseases and Ciliopathies

There is a broad phenotypic spectrum of monogenic polycystic kidney diseases (PKDs). These disorders often involve cilia-related genes and lead to the development of fluid-filled cysts and eventual kidney function decline and failure. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic (PGT-M) disorders has moved into the clinical realm. It allows prospective parents to avoid passing on heritable diseases to their children, including monogenic PKD. The PGT-M process involves embryo generation through in vitro fertilization, with subsequent testing of embryos and selective transfer of those that do not harbor the specific disease-causing variant(s). There is a growing body of literature supporting the success of PGT-M for autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive PKD, although with important technical limitations in some cases. This technology can be applied to many other types of monogenic PKD and ciliopathies despite the lack of existing reports in the literature. PGT-M for monogenic PKD, like other forms of assisted reproductive technology, raises important ethical questions. When considering PGT-M for kidney diseases, as well as the potential to avoid disease in future generations, there are regulatory and ethical considerations. These include limited government regulation and unstandardized consent processes, potential technical errors, high cost and equity concerns, risks associated with pregnancy for mothers with kidney disease, and the impact on all involved in the process, including the children who were made possible with this technology.
Dentro de los textiles mayas: Lekil kuxlejal y el mandar obedeciendo como propuestas para descolonizar la investigación del diseño artesanal textil
Authors: Albarrán González Diana
Published: October 2023

Este artículo presenta una propuesta para descolonizar la investigación del diseño artesanal textil, para el reconocimiento del diseño de tejedoras Tsotsiles y Tseltales en busca de una vida justa y digna. Dentro de los textiles mayas de los Altos de Chiapas en el sureste mexicano, hay una valiosa fuente de conocimientos ancestrales que reflejan la cosmovisión de los pueblos mayas pasados y presentes. Para la autora y sus compañeras de investigación, los textiles y sus prácticas, significados y metáforas denotan modos ‘otros’ de investigar el diseño artesanal textil a través del pensamiento decolonial y onto-epistemologías indígenas como el corazonar y el Buen vivir de los pueblos Tsotsiles y Tseltales, lekil kuxlejal. De igual modo, los siete principios zapatistas del mandar obedeciendo sirvieron como guías de investigación para mediar colaboraciones éticas y respetuosas. Esto buscó desafiar el diseño dominante y hegemónico en búsqueda de acercamientos guiados por el corazón y centrados en el Buen vivir, mismos que integran la visión de una vida digna y justa en el diseño artesanal textil. A través de esto, se proponen una serie de lineamientos que respetan la autonomía de la comunidad artesanal contribuyendo a las transiciones hacia el pluriverso.

Single-fill cystometry at varying bladder infusion rates in urethane anesthetized rats v1
Authors: J Jaskowak Daniel
Published: October 2023

Cystometry is a common method to observe the function of the lower urinary tract (LUT) in in vivo animal models where an infusion pump fills the bladder at a set rate with physiological saline until it evokes a bladder contraction. This protocol was created to determine if the rate of bladder infusion impacts the bladder volume or pressure that is coincident with the onset of cystometry induced bladder contractions. The effect of infusion rate on LUT reflex activation was investigated in 25 female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were anesthetized through subcutaneous injection of 1.2 g/kg urethane. A catheter in series with a pressure transducer and compter-controlled infusion pump was inserted into the dome of the bladder. Silver electrode wires were inserted into the external urethral sphincter percutaneously for electromyography. Each animal's bladder capacity was estimated prior to data collection with a series of 3-5 initial fill-to-void cycles. A subset of bladder infusion rates tested were computed as a percentage of this initial bladder capacity estimate (i.e., relative rates) to ensure the full infusion rate range was sampled across all bladder sizes. The remaining rates used were drawn from a predetermined set without reference to bladder size and selected to span a very broad range. The predetermined rates fell into three categories, 1) those similar to the average rate of fluid added from the ureters, 2) typical infusion rates used in prior rat cystometry studies, or 3) extremely high infusion rates. Infusion rates were sampled differently in different groups of animals to maximize the amount of overall infusion rates tested. A set of 10 infusion rates composed of relative and predefined rates were randomly presented during experiments such that each infusion rate was used at least 3 times.
Discovering the Significance of Housing Neighbourhoods by Assessing Their Attributes With a Digital Tool
Authors: Spoormans Lidwine , Jonge Wessel De , Czischke Darinka , Pereira Roders Ana
Published: October 2023

Much of the building stock subjected to the upcoming European Renovation Wave is neither listed as heritage nor considered valuable architecture. This also applies to Dutch housing built between 1965 and 1985, more than 30% of the Dutch housing stock, for which there is no consensus on their cultural significance. Their successful renovation process requires broad support. What attributes do citizens consider significant in their neighbourhood? How do we include a multitude of stakeholders? And can digital methods help collect and process responses? This article reveals significant attributes of residential neighbourhoods from 1965 to 1985, assessed by various stakeholders with a digital tool based on case studies in Amsterdam and Almere. A mobile application allowed individuals to identify significant attributes at various scales while visiting the neighbourhood. By qualitative data analysis of survey and interview results, groups of tangible and intangible attributes were deduced. Results show that identifying attributes by current stakeholders broadens existing expert-led assessments on 1965–1985 neighbourhoods by including, for example, generic attributes not originally intended by the designers. Asking open-ended questions is considered essential to identify undiscovered attributes by alternative stakeholders, although dealing with large numbers of responses is recognised as a challenge to cluster and classify. Lastly, the mobile application appears to be a useful digital tool, but integrating scientific consistency and usability is recommended for further development. Engaging multiple stakeholders with such mobile applications allows for collecting opinions, anticipating conflicts, or shared interests between stakeholders and integration into renovation designs. It can empower citizens to preserve the neighbourhood attributes that are most significant to them.
Sharing for Health, Inclusion, and Sustainability: The Co-Production of Outdoor Equipment Lending in Norway
Authors: Eigil Barratt-Due Solum Espen , Førde Anniken , Guillen-Royo Monica
Published: October 2023

This study analyses the promotion of public health, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability in two Norwegian cities through the co-production of outdoor equipment-lending outlets. Building on seminal insights from Elinor Ostrom, we investigate how the co-production of equipment-lending initiatives can bridge the divide between government, civil society, and the market. Engaging citizens in outdoor activities to promote public health, social inclusion and sustainability is a political focus area in Norway, but the activities often demand access to expensive equipment. Since the 1990s, many Norwegian municipalities have organised lending outlets for outdoor equipment, often relying on volunteer work. The emergence of BUA, a nationwide NGO aimed at engaging children and youth in outdoor activities, added the goal of environmental sustainability as a foundation for equipment-lending outlets. Additionally, it became a catalyst for the articulation of a diverse array of partnerships for the co-production of equipment lending as a public service. This study draws on fieldwork and in-depth interviews with users, staff, volunteers, and institutional partners at two lending outlets, in Kolbotn and Tromsø, in south-eastern and northern Norway. We focus on the co-production of BUA as a public service and discuss how the interplay of various actors leads to the achievement of societal and environmental goals, and subsequently how equipment-lending initiatives can facilitate collaborative consumption practices with the potential to reduce consumption.
The Constitutional Model of Interaction in the Constitutional Acts of Modern Russia
Authors: Komarova V. V.
Published: October 2023

The paper examines the term «interaction» updated in the process of the 2020 Constitutional Reform. The author analyzes the constitutional model of the interaction implementation in the Constitution of Russia, federal legislation and constitutional (statutory) legislation of the constituent entities of the Federation. Based on the comparative legal analysis, the paper explains the features of interaction in the unified system of public authorities at various levels, the features of goal-setting and types and forms of interaction. The author concludes that different goal-setting of interaction in the legislation of constituent entities, on the one hand, allows taking into account the characteristic features, on the other hand, it implies differences in the forms and procedures of its implementation and subjects of interaction. The author proposes the system-forming elements of a unified system of public authorities. It is revealed that in the acts of the constituent entities under consideration, it is mainly about interaction in the system of state power, whereas the constitutional formulations at the federal level also concern local self-government bodies. According to the author, this narrowing of the subjects of interaction carries obvious risks of improper enforcement of federal legislation. The author also concludes that interaction is more widely regulated at the level of the constituent entities of the federation, determines the goals and subjects of the process, defines the features of interaction and promising aspects for incorporation into the legislation of the constituent entities.
Constitutional Law Regulation of the Use of Digital Technologies in Video Surveillance over Elections and Referendums
Authors: Shaposhnikov A. V.
Published: October 2023

Elections and referendums are the main ways of free expression of the will of Russian citizens concerning political and other issues of importance to society. The significance of these forms of citizen participation in the life of Russian society presupposes the existence of legislative mechanisms for their regulation. At the same time, the introduction of modern technologies that make it possible to exclude the possibility of falsifications and other violations of election and referendum procedures is of particular importance. Video surveillance is one of the digital technologies that can increase the confidence of citizens in these methods of their free expression. The paper is devoted to constitutional law regulation of the use of digital technologies in video surveillance over elections and referendums. The paper considers in detail a set of regulatory and legal sources, on the basis of which the use of video surveillance systems in voting premises at polling stations is regulated. The author analyzes legislative acts that explain the specifics of the use of video surveillance during elections and referendums, mainly federal laws, as well as resolutions of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation. In conclusion, the author dwells on the prospects and effectiveness of the use of modern digital technologies in the implementation of video surveillance over the course of elections and referendums.
The Doctrine of «Trust» in Modern Constitutional Law: Emergence, Prospects for Development and Evaluation
Authors: Stepkin S. P.
Published: October 2023

In 2020, as a result of the Reform, the rule of law on mutual trust between the State and the people was enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, while the instrument for determining such trust, the frequency of its assessment, as well as issues of regulation and development of trust remain undisclosed.

In conducting this research, the author aimed to examine the process of the emergence and development of the phenomenon of «trust» from the Soviet period to the present day, to conduct a comparative legal analysis of Soviet, foreign and modern Russian legislation, to assess the impact of the institution of citizens’ appeals on increasing trust, to determine the role of citizens’ appeals in the process of forming mutual trust and in ensuring constitutional law and order. It is difficult to overestimate the role of citizens’ appeals in maintaining trust in public authorities and in ensuring constitutional law and order; the analysis of the array of citizens’ appeals will not only allow replacing public opinions necessary for assessing trust, but it is also able to provide their high-quality and free replacement, with a wide involvement of citizens. The paper highlights a special role of the institution of citizens’ appeals in preventing protest moods, the relationship of trust with faith in God, as well as the ability of trust to neutralize the imperfection of legislation.
The Constitutional Nature of Municipal Power
Authors: Zabelina E. P.
Published: October 2023

The paper examines the significance of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the formation and development of the political and legal essence of local self-government and its driving force as to strengthen municipal power as a type of public power that ensures the implementation  of certain laws and municipal regulations on the territory municipalities. The author believes that it is only after the adoption of the Russian Constitution in 1993 that local self-government has acquired the constitutional potential for its formation as an authoritative channel for expressing the will of the people, both directly and through local government bodies. The paper shows the role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in the implementation of the constitutional idea of the power essence of local self-government and its consolidation in the current legislation. At the same time, according to the author, there are no sufficient grounds to conclude that the idea of the authoritative essence of local self-government is fully implemented in legislation. Believing it necessary to further strengthen the municipal government, the author makes proposals, the implementation of which will contribute to solving this pressing problem.
Appealing against (Challenging) the Actions (Inaction) of a Non-Public Operator as a Special Way to Protect the Rights of a Gardener — Personal Data Subject
Authors: Lvova S. V.
Published: October 2023

The paper is devoted to one of the most effective, but rarely used in practice, special methods of protecting the violated rights of the personal data subject in relation to gardeners, aimed at restoring violated rights and freedoms through appealing against the actions and/or inaction of a non-public operator. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the provisions of Art. 17 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2006 No. 152-FZ «On Personal Data» by means of the formal legal method and linguistic (grammatical) method of interpretation. It aims at not only giving a general description of this special method of protection, but also formulating the conditions for the gardener to exercise the right to judicial appeal against the actions/inactions of a non-public operator from the standpoint of the objective and subjective elements of the rule of law. The paper will be useful primarily for practicing lawyers and attorneys involved in the protection of the violated rights of gardeners — personal data subjects, whose garden land plots are located on the territory of closed dacha villages established on land plots appearing from land shares.
Legal Protection of Intellectual Property Rights of Academic Staff Members and Researchers

Amid current development of innovations and technologies, academic staff, including research officers of educational institutions of higher education and research officers of research institutions play a key role in the creation of intellectual property. It is because man creates the results of intellectual activity, and academic staff of educational institutions, researchers in research institutions are, in the designated context, special subjects involved in the processes of creating intellectual property, mainly on a regular basis. Academic staff of educational institutions and researchers in educational and research institutions in a certain sense seem to be the weak side. Often, educational and research institutions in employment contracts and local regulatory legal acts establish conditions that the corresponding institutions are automatically the copyright holders of exclusive rights to intellectual property created by the faculty and researchers. Publishers that publish scientific works of the faculty and researchers often impose the transfer of exclusive rights free of charge, without paying remuneration to the authors. In this context, the paper proposes measures to develop models for the protection of intellectual property rights of the academic staff and researchers, as well as solving a number of problems related to ensuring the rights and interests of this category of authors.
Presumption of Innocence and Trial by Jury
Authors: Malina M. A.
Published: October 2023

The paper examines the Anglo-Saxon and continental approaches to understanding the principle of the presumption of innocence. It is concluded that in Russia this principle was established and implemented in the spirit of continental legal logic. The effect of the presumption of innocence and the provisions arising from it (the principle of in dubio pro reo, the rule that the accused is not obliged to prove his innocence, etc.) when considering a criminal case by a Russian court with the participation of jurors is examined. The features of evidence in this form of legal proceedings, the relationship of the presumption of innocence with the right of jurors to find the defendant innocent if it is fully proven that they committed a criminal act (criminal law nullification) are considered. The conclusion is substantiated that it is in a trial with a jury that the presumption of innocence is most fully realized; it contains additional guarantees of its strict observance.
International Arbitration: Towards Sustainable Development and Environmental Protection
Authors: Zasemkova O. F.
Published: October 2023

The paper considers the problem of transition to more environmentally friendly arbitration, which involves reducing the carbon footprint left by arbitration proceedings through the adoption of three main measures: 1) the use of renewable energy; 2) reducing or eliminating long-distance travel and air travel for the purposes of arbitration proceedings; 3) reducing waste and eliminating the use of paper documents. An important role in achieving this goal is taken by green protocols containing specific practical measures to ensure sustainability and environmental protection, addressed to certain participants in the arbitration community (arbitrators, law firms, service providers and arbitration centers), as well as initiatives of the arbitration centers themselves. However, given the advisory nature of the green protocols adopted as part of the Campaign for Greener Arbitration, as well as the possibility of derogation from the provisions of the arbitration rules providing for the transition to electronic document flow and online hearings, parties concerned about protecting the environment are recommended to include (or arbitration agreement) special green clauses.
Análise do Papel da Enfermagem na Sociedade sob a Ótica da Teoria Transcultural de Leininger
Authors: Machado Cynthia Fernanda Teles , Borges Luana Cristina Roberto , Robban Sofia de Barros
Published: October 2023

A enfermagem cultural deriva da antropologia e apresenta como o foco principal de seu estudo a análise comparativa de diferentes culturas ou subculturas, no que diz respeito ao comportamento relativo ao cuidado em geral, assim como aos valores, crenças e padrões de comportamento relacionados ao processo saúde-doença. Considerando o fato de a antropologia e a saúde evoluírem concomitantemente, levanta-se a questão de como a teoria transcultural de Leininger é aplicada nos diferentes nichos da sociedade. Visando sanar estes questionamentos, este estudo tem como objetivo discorrer sobre a sociedade sob a ótica da teoria de Madeleine Leininger. O estudo se trata de uma revisão de literatura, elencando a vida da teorista e o desenvolvimento da Teoria Transcultural, a qual abraça a enfermagem e a antropologia. A pesquisa foi elaborada através da análise de manuscritos referentes à temática que abordassem o papel da enfermagem aplicando a Teoria Transcultural de Madeleine Leininger em diversos ambientes sociais, e, através do levantamento desses escritos, também pode-se permitir a análise da Teoria frente aos hábitos culturais dos habitantes sul-matogrossenses que se modificaram em decorrência dos efeitos oriundos da pandemia por COVID-19. A transculturalidade é a chave para entender o ser humano em sua totalidade, não apenas em suas expressões clínicas, mas sim como um ser pensante com sentimentos, relacionamentos e anseios.

 Abstract
Cultural nursing derives from anthropology and presents as the focus of its study the comparative analysis of different cultures or subcultures, about behavior related to care in general, as well as to values, beliefs and behavior patterns related to the health process -illness. Because anthropology and health evolve concomitantly, the question arises of how Leininger's transcultural theory is applied in different niches of society. To solve these questions, this study aims to discuss society from the perspective of Madeleine Leininger's theory. The study is a literature review, listing the theorist's life and the development of the Transcultural Theory, which embraces nursing and anthropology. The research was elaborated through the analysis of manuscripts referring to the theme that addressed the role of nursing by applying the Transcultural Theory of Madeleine Leininger in different social environments, and, through the survey of these writings, it is also possible to allow the analysis of the Theory regarding the habits of the inhabitants of Mato Grosso do Sul that have changed due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Transculturality is the key to understanding the human being, not just in their clinical expressions, but as a thinking being with feelings, relationships, and desires.

Introduction Primary total knee arthroplasty has long been proven effective in the treatment of stage 3–4 knee osteoarthritis. It is well known that this intervention not only improves the quality of life, but also helps to restore the function of the joint and eliminate axial deformities.

Purpose To compare early results of total knee arthroplasty using robot-assisted technology with conventional manual technique.

Materials and Methods 20 patients diagnosed with stage 3 osteoarthritis of the knee joint and varus deformity of the knee joint axis were included in a prospective randomized study. Patients were divided into 2 representative groups, 10 subjects underwent robot-assisted knee arthroplasty, and the conventional manual technique was used in the other 10 patients. For clinical assessment, functional scales KSS, WOMAC, Lysholm Score were used, postoperative radiographs were evaluated.

Results According to clinical functional scales, 10 days after surgery, there was an improvement in performance in the patients of both groups (p < 0.05); the duration of the operation in the patients of both groups did not differ in general; intra-operative blood loss in the group with robot‑assisted arthroplasty was lower; and assessment of postoperative results by radiological imaging showed a better component positioning according to preoperative planning in the robotic group.

Discussion When the operation is performed by experienced surgeons, one can expect the correct position of the components and the balance of the ligamentous apparatus in standard arthroplasty. However, the use of robot-assisted technology provides a secure intervention performance even at a hospital where a small number of such operations is performed.

Conclusion Despite the high cost and the need for additional consumables, robot-assisted arthroplasty has a number of advantages over classical manual techniques. These advantages include: accurate restoration of the limb axis even in extra-articular deformities, correct position of the endoprosthesis components, reduction of intraoperative blood loss due to closed medullary canals, and safety for patients. However, the role of the surgeon in such operations remains paramount, as it is the surgeon who is responsible for planning the operation, performing it, and achieving soft tissue balance.
