Authors: Leontieva Lidia S. , Kopush Dan-Khayaa M.
Published: May 2024

A key direction of the state regional policy is sustainable socio-economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation. However, the solution of this issue is significantly complicated by a number of problems associated with the spatial heterogeneity of the country and further inequality in the level of socio-economic development of Russian regions. The relevance of this study is determined by the necessity to solve the problem of systematization of theoretical approaches to the description of mechanisms of socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, aimed to overcome the spatial differentiation of territories by basic indicators. The object of the study is the regions of the Far Eastern and Siberian Federal Districts. The aim of the study is to develop the principles of systematization of tools for spatial development of the subjects of the Russian Federation depending on the level of differentiation of regions by basic principles. To achieve the aim, the authors used the following research methods: comparative analysis, empirical analysis, synthesis, statistical method, graphic research methods. Based on the comparative analysis of the existing causes of differentiation of spatial development of the subjects of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts, the objective and subjective factors of regional inequality were identified. The analysis of existing mechanisms of spatial development of the regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts revealed their insufficient efficiency in solving the problem of smoothing regional socio-economic inequality. The author’s approach to the formation of a set of management tools to overcome the differentiation of spatial development of regions on the example of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts on the basis of grouping the subjects according to the studied groups of basic indicators is proposed. The paper proposes the definition of individual characteristics of each subject of the Russian Federation as a basis for the formation of tools for spatial development of the region.

Published: May 2024

The epidemic caused by the Covid-19 virus released in December 2019 was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The rapid spread of the virus unexpectedly and causing high deaths has led to a difficult process in the field of health. Societies, which are a social and cultural phenomenon, have also been affected by this epidemic in different ways. The phenomenon of health is not only a stable state of medical procedures, but also a dynamic concept where different cultures come together. Defending that if nurses do not take into account the cultural differences in the individual or society, the care to be given will not be effective, Leninger says that care should have the universal characteristics of the human structure under all conditions. In this sense, the aim of intercultural nursing is to provide culturally appropriate care. In this case, there are problems in health caused by the communication problem encountered in an Angolan patient who was hospitalized in the burn service when the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was pandemic.

Viêm phúc mạc xơ hóa kết bọc (sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis - SEP) còn có tên gọi khác là kén bụng (abdominal cocoon) là một tình trạng viêm mạn tính hiếm gặp của phúc mạc với nguyên nhân chưa rõ. Tình trạng này xảy ra khi các quai ruột được bọc trong khoang phúc mạc bằng một lớp màng, dẫn đến tắc ruột. Do hiếm gặp và các biểu hiện lâm sàng ban đầu không đặc hiệu, bệnh thường không được nhận biết và khó chẩn đoán xác định trước phẫu thuật. Chụp cắt lớp vi tính (CLVT) ổ bụng với một số đặc điểm hình ảnh đặc trưng góp phần hỗ trợ chẩn đoán phân biệt SEP với các nguyên nhân tắc ruột khác. Chúng tôi báo cáo một trường hợp bệnh nhân (BN) nam 53 tuổi, tiền sử bán tắc ruột điều trị nội khoa nhiều lần, vào viện với các triệu chứng của tắc ruột cơ học điển hình gồm đau bụng từng cơn quanh rốn, bí trung đại tiện 2 ngày. Hình ảnh CLVT ổ bụng cho thấy một cấu trúc tương tự phúc mạc mỏng bao bọc gần toàn bộ các quai ruột non gây tắc ruột. BN được phẫu thuật cấp cứu để giải phóng các quai ruột và cắt bỏ cấu trúc phúc mạc này làm xét nghiệm giải phẫu bệnh. Kết quả mô bệnh học chẩn đoán SEP.

Advances in Understanding the Marine Nitrogen Cycle in the GEOTRACES Era
Authors:   Stanford University, Casciotti Karen , Marshall Tanya , Fawcett Sarah , Knapp Angela
Published: May 2024

Because nitrogen availability limits primary production over much of the global ocean, understanding the controls on the marine nitrogen inventory and supply to the surface ocean is essential for understanding biological productivity and exchange of greenhouse gases with the atmosphere. Quantifying the ocean’s inputs, outputs, and internal cycling of nitrogen requires a variety of tools and approaches, including measurements of the nitrogen isotope ratio in organic and inorganic nitrogen species. The marine nitrogen cycle, which shapes nitrogen availability and speciation in the ocean, is linked to the elemental cycles of carbon, phosphorus, and trace elements. For example, the majority of nitrogen cycle oxidation and reduction reactions are mediated by enzymes that require trace metals for catalysis. Recent observations made through global-scale programs such as GEOTRACES have greatly expanded our knowledge of the marine nitrogen cycle. Though much work remains to be done, here we outline key advances in understanding the marine nitrogen cycle that have been achieved through these analyses, such as the distributions and rates of dinitrogen fixation, terrestrial nitrogen inputs, and nitrogen loss processes.

Introduction

The main mission of the Australian and New Zealand Children's Haematology and Oncology Group (ANZCHOG) is to develop and facilitate local access to the world's leading evidence‐based clinical trials for all paediatric cancers, including brain tumours, as soon as practically possible. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) — a subset of a larger group of tumours now termed diffuse midline glioma, H3K27‐altered (DMG) — are paediatric brain cancers with less than 10% survival at two years. In the absence of any proven curative therapies, significant recent advancements have been made in pre‐clinical and clinical research, leading many to seek integration of novel therapies early into standard practice. Despite these innovative therapeutic approaches, DIPG remains an incurable disease for which novel surgical, imaging, diagnostic, radiation and systemic therapy approaches are needed.

Main recommendations

All patients with DIPG should be discussed in multidisciplinary neuro‐oncology meetings (including pathologists, neuroradiologists, radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists) at diagnosis and at relapse or progression.

Radiation therapy to the involved field remains the local and international standard of care treatment.

Proton therapy does not yield a superior survival outcome compared with photon therapy and patients should undergo radiation therapy with the available modality (photon or proton) at their treatment centre.

Patients may receive concurrent chemotherapy or radiation‐sensitising agents as part of a clinical trial.

Biopsy should be offered to facilitate consideration of experimental therapies and eligibility for clinical trial participation.

After radiation therapy, each patient should be managed individually with either observation or considered for enrolment on a clinical trial, if eligible, after full discussion with the family.

Re‐irradiation can be considered for progressive disease.

Changes in management as a result of the guideline

Every child diagnosed with DIPG should be offered enrolment on a clinical trial where available. Access to investigational drugs without biological rationale outside the clinical trial setting is not supported. In case of potentially actionable target identification with molecular profiling and absence of a suitable clinical trial, rational targeted therapies can be considered through compassionate access programs.

The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is a difference in students' mathematical problem solving abilities using the Team Quiz and Individual Quiz methods on sequence and series material in Class X of SMK Negeri 1 Lolowa'u. The type of research used is quantitative research. The population in this study was class X with a total of 55 students. The research instrument used was a test of mathematical problem solving abilities using the team quiz method and the individual quiz method. The results of the research stated that in experimental class 1, by carrying out the initial test, the average learning outcome was 52.33 and in experimental class 2, the average learning outcome was 50.01. Meanwhile, in the final test in experimental class 1, the average learning result was 72.94 and in experimental class 2, the average learning result was 71.01. So, there are differences in students' mathematical problem solving abilities using the Team Quiz and Individual Quiz methods. So it can be concluded that applying the Team Quiz and Individual Quiz methods has a great influence on the learning outcomes of class X students at SMK Negeri 1 Lolowa'u. The suggestion put forward by researchers is that teachers should use team quiz and individual quiz methods in learning in order to increase active student participation in learning that takes place in class, as well as serve as a guide or reference for every reader or future researcher, but pay attention to weaknesses in order to obtain appropriate solutions. even better.
Peculiarities of nutrition of patients with metabolic syndrome in the aspect of treatment and prevention
Authors: Khatsko  , Mykhaylenko  , Danylchuk  , Kornovan  , Lahoda
Published: May 2024

The hallmark of metabolic syndrome (MS) is the associated risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as other harmful conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, etc. In this article, we would like to highlight the available scientific evidence on the relationship between lifestyle changes and MS and its components in order to obtain recommendations for the prevention and treatment of MS. Body weight (BW) reduction through calorie-restricted diets, along with increased energy expenditure through physical activity, has been shown to aid in the prevention and treatment of MS. A Mediterranean diet with or without calorie restriction is an effective component of treatment. Due to the increased consumption of unsaturated fats, primarily from olive oil, and to emphasize the consumption of legumes, cereals (whole grains), fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish and low- fat dairy products, as well as moderate alcohol consumption. Other dietary patterns (DASH, Scandinavian and vegetarian diets) have also been suggested as alternatives for the treatment and prevention of MS. A mandatory condition is to stop smoking and reduce the consumption of sweetened beverages. These approaches are not effective in all patients, and more research is needed to determine the most appropriate therapy for MS. In summary, a healthy lifestyle is critical for preventing or delaying the onset of MS in susceptible individuals and preventing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in those who already have MS. The recommendations provided in this article should help patients and physicians understand and implement the most effective lifestyle modification approaches to prevent metabolic syndrome and improve cardiometabolic status.
PREDATORY COMPLEX OF PHYTOPHAGOUS MITES AND THEIR ROLE IN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT IN APPLE ORCHARD
Authors:   Horticultural Research Station, Seobagh, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh - 175 138, India., Khajuria D R
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Predatory complex of phytophagous mites, their diversity, abundance, predatory potential and their role in integrated mite management (IPM) in apple orchards was studied. Two species of predatory mites viz., Amblyseius fallacis A-H and Zetzellia mali (Ewing); one species of black coccinellid beetle, Stethorus punctum Le Conte; a mirid, Chrysoperla spp. ; anthocorid bug, Orius spp; the black hunter thrip, Leptothrips mali (Fitch) and various species of spiders were recorded feeding on phytophagous mites. Predatory mites were the most abundant species. The black coccinellid beetle was the next most predominant species. Amblyseius fallacis consumed 2.0 and Stethorus punctum 12-18 European red mites per day. Population of phytophagous mites remained high in orchards heavily sprayed with insecticides adults, whereas predatory mites population was highest in orchards receiving zero insecticidal applications. Stoppage of insecticidal applications resulted in a rise of predacious mite populations, which in turn brought decline in spider mite populations.

AIMS OF THE STUDY: Listeriosis is a notifiable disease in Switzerland. In summer 2022, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health noticed an increase in reports of listeriosis cases, indicating a possible ongoing outbreak. Here we present the approaches applied for rapidly confirming the outbreak, detecting the underlying source of infection and the measures put in place to eliminate it and contain the outbreak.
METHODS: For close surveillance and early detection of outbreak situations with their possible sources, listeriosis patients in Switzerland are systematically interviewed about risk behaviours and foods consumed prior to the infection. Listeria monocytogenes isolates derived from patients in medical laboratories are sent to the National Reference Laboratory for Enteropathogenic Bacteria and Listeria, where they routinely undergo whole-genome sequencing. Interview and whole-genome sequencing data are continuously linked for comparison and analysis.
RESULTS: In summer 2022, 20 patient-derived L. monocytogenes serotype 4b sequence type 388 strains were found to belong to an outbreak cluster (≤10 different alleles between neighbouring isolates) based on core genome multilocus sequence typing analysis. Geographically, 18 of 20 outbreak cases occurred in northeastern Switzerland. The median age of patients was 77.4 years (range: 58.1–89.7), with both sexes equally affected. Rolling analysis of the interview data revealed smoked trout from a local producer as a suspected infection source, triggering an on-site investigation of the production facility and sampling of the suspected products by the responsible cantonal food inspection team on 15 July 2022. Seven of ten samples tested positive for L. monocytogenes and the respective cantonal authority ordered a ban on production and distribution as well as a product recall. The Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office released a nationwide public alert covering the smoked fish products concerned. Whole-genome sequencing analysis confirmed the interrelatedness of the L. monocytogenes smoked trout product isolates and the patient-derived isolates. Following the ban on production and distribution and the product recall, reporting of new outbreak-related cases rapidly dropped to zero.
CONCLUSIONS: This listeriosis outbreak could be contained within a relatively short time thanks to identification of the source of contamination through the established combined approach of timely interviewing of every listeriosis patient or a representative and continuous molecular analysis of the patient- and food-derived L. monocytogenes isolates. These findings highlight the effectiveness of this well-established, joint approach involving the federal and cantonal authorities and the research institutions mandated to contain listeriosis outbreaks in Switzerland.
Staatliches Informationshandeln in sozialen Medien unter Legitimationsmangel?
Authors: Schoss Robin Christopher
Published: May 2024

Der Beitrag untersucht das bekannte Phänomen der staatlichen Öffentlichkeitsarbeit mit einem besonderen Fokus auf den Sachverhalt in sozialen Medien, allen voran in der Erscheinungsform „Polizeitwitter“. Der Beitrag gibt dabei die wesentlichen Forschungsergebnisse der Dissertationsschrift des Autors zum Thema wieder: Danach hat staatliches Informationshandelns in sozialen Medien einen erheblichen Umfang erreicht. Die Accounts zahlreicher Polizei-Dienststellen und Regierungsorange erreichen ein stetig wachsendes Millionenpublikum. Die Reichweite dieses Mediums steht klassischen Massenmedien wohl in nichts nach. Die (grund-)rechtliche Rechtfertigung für dieses Phänomen steht dabei auf den tönernen Füßen der BVerfG-Rechtsprechung zu Pressemitteilungen aus einer Zeit vor dem Aufkommen des Internets. Dabei ist staatliches Informationshandeln in sozialen Medien jedoch höchst „grundrechtsvirulent“: Die besonderen Umstände der sozialen Massenmedien (u.a. Partizipation und virale Effekte) wirken dabei als Multiplikator für Grundrechtseingriffe. Dies gilt insbesondere, wenn staatliche Inhalte auf sozialen Medien Betroffene identifizierbar machen oder informelle Handlungsanweisungen, z.B. „Spekulationsverbote“, absetzen. Diese Art von staatlichem Handeln ist daher in erhöhtem Maße rechtfertigungsbedürftig und gleichzeitig, anders als vom BVerfG kolportiert, einer positiv-rechtlichen Regelung auch zugänglich, was zahlreiche Beispiele belegen. Der Beitrag schließt daher mit der konkreten Empfehlung, zumindest die Twitter-Aktivitäten der (Bundes-) Polizei zu regulieren, um Rechtssicherheit für die Beamten und die Betroffenen zu schaffen.
Proteste und Intervention
Authors: Kriener Florian
Published: May 2024

Nonviolent Protest Movements are elementary for the spread of democracy and human rights. Some states have, therefore, established policies to support these movements when they emerge. This practice, however, raises significant doubts from states that see themselves confronted with such protest movements. They deem any support to these movements as a violation of the prohibition of intervention in international law. Florian Kriener analyzes the normative framework for the support of nonviolent protest movements. Five detailed case studies on the protest movements in Egypt 2011, Ukraine 2013/14, Sudan 2018/19, Venezuela 2019 und Hong Kong 2019/2020 survey the current state practice and opinio juris in this emerging field of international law.

Authors: Ramsha Salim Vadsariya  , Ghayas Muhammad Muzammil
Published: May 2024

This research aims at explaining if the job satisfaction mediates relationship between servant leadership dimensions and organizational commitment dimensions. A set of three separate questionnaires were developed. Furthermore, respondents were selected using judgmental sampling and 450 sets of instruments were distributed among people working for the telecom sector in three waves, each wave being apart from the other with a time lag of one month. However, not all the respondents filled the set of three instruments, consequently, 397 useable sets were used as the final sample. Upon collecting the data, data were analyzed by employing three separate structural equation models. Results indicate job satisfaction partially mediates servant leadership and organizational commitment dimensions with exception of only two cases; persuasive mapping and normative commitment where mediation is full in nature, and wisdom and continuance commitment where no mediation is found. After analyzing the results, it is recommended that telecom sector must understand the importance of leadership and its importance in enhancing organizational commitment among employees. It is further recommended that future researchers should conduct similar studies in other industries as well.

This study aims to explore the complex relationship between federalism and democracy through bibliometric review through Scopus database from 1962 to 2024. Based on 522 articles extracted on “Federalism and Democracy” from Scopus database, highlights how these two political concepts interact across countries including United States, Ethiopia, and Nigeria and historical contexts, emphasizing the complementary yet potentially conflicting nature of their relationship. The paper points out the critical role of federalism in enhancing democratic principles such as accountable governments, increased political participation, and protection against majority tyranny. It also acknowledges the challenges and tensions arising from intergovernmental coordination and democratic governance within federal systems. Authors have done a comprehensive analysis, exploring the dynamics of fiscal policy, legal and constitutional frameworks, and the influence of federalism within the European Union. It further examines the application of federalism and democracy in specific national contexts, including the United States, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, to illustrate the diverse ways these concepts evolve and impact societies. Through this exploration, the paper provides insights into how federalism can either strengthen or weaken democracy based on factors such as party politics, fiscal decentralization, and the legal-institutional setup. This study sets a future research agenda by exploring 20 research questions spread across ten thematic clusters. These clusters cover a wide range of topics, from fiscal policy and party politics in federal systems to the role of political parties, elections, legal aspects of federalism, and new developments in European federalism. By outlining these future research directions, the paper aims to guide further scholarly exploration and understanding of the complex relationship between federalism and democracy.

Environmental management is the management of activities that may have an impact on the environment. It aims to limit polluting emissions and risks to the environment and to save natural resources. Often unsuspected and therefore without us always realizing it, all economic activities can have a considerable impact on the environment. Indeed, the manufacture of products requires the extraction of raw materials and the use of water and energy. Similarly, activities associated with the manufacturing process, such as maintenance, transportation; all have environmental impacts. The environmental management system is a progress tool that integrates the environmental dimension into an organization’s strategy, leading it to set objectives, achieve and maintain performance through effective management and promotes anticipation (the forecast). There is a multitude of guides allowing self-diagnosis by the organization and which make it possible to make an environmental assessment. ISO 14001 is the environmental management standard (EMS) created by the international organization for standardization. It defines the requirements of a global environmental management system for self-reporting or certification purposes. It is organized in 17 points modeled on quality management, well known for 34 years in the industry. The standard does not establish any absolute requirement for environmental performance, other than a commitment to environmental policy, to comply with legislation and the principle of continuous improvement. Pollution prevention through the identification of the various significant environmental aspects and impacts, which accounted for 70% of the requirements of ISO 14001, is the main environmental improvement point. In addition, since these environmental aspects and impacts can only be identified from the activities, products and services associated with them, this article represents a working method that allows expressing good environmental practices, present in the form of environmental performance indicators that inform in a concentrated and precise manner on the different activities with environmental relevance.

สารนิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ศึกษาศึกษาท่าทีของญี่ปุ่นที่มีต่อการประชุมสุดยอดระหว่างสหรัฐฯ และเกาหลีเหนือระหว่างปี 2018-2019 เพื่อวิเคราะห์ปัจจัยที่ส่งผลให้ญี่ปุ่นมีท่าทีไม่เห็นด้วยกับการประชุมสุดยอดระหว่างสหรัฐฯ กับเกาหลีเหนือ เพราะมองว่าการเจรจาไม่ส่งผลให้เกาหลีเหนือเปลี่ยนพฤติกรรมจนทำให้เกิดการปลดอาวุธนิวเคลียร์และยุติโครงการพัฒนาอาวุธนิวเคลียร์ ซึ่งเป็นหลักประกันความมั่นคงแห่งชาติ ผลการศึกษาพบว่า ปัจจัยหลักที่ส่งผลให้ญี่ปุ่นไม่เห็นด้วย
กับการประชุมสุดยอดดังกล่าว เกิดจากการรับรู้ (perception) ของรัฐบาลญี่ปุ่นที่มีต่อเกาหลีเหนือ เนื่องจากรัฐบาลญี่ปุ่นหวาดระแวงและมองว่าเกาหลีเหนือเป็นภัยคุกคาม ส่วนนายกรัฐมนตรีชินโซ อาเบะก็มีประสบการณ์ทำงานเกี่ยวกับเกาหลีเหนือมาก่อน จึงไม่ไว้วางใจเกาหลีเหนือ ขณะเดียวกันสังคมญี่ปุ่นก็มองว่าเกาหลีเหนือเป็นศัตรูมาตั้งแต่ในอดีต และโกรธเคืองเกาหลีเหนือในประเด็นการลักพาตัวชาวญี่ปุ่น นอกจากนี้ การเข้าหาเกาหลีเหนือของสหรัฐฯ ก็ทำให้ญี่ปุ่น
 มองว่า เป็นเรื่องที่กระทบต่อระบบพันธมิตรระหว่างญี่ปุ่นกับสหรัฐฯ ทำให้กลไกในการป้องปราม (deterrence) ลดประสิทธิภาพลง และจะเกิดผลกระทบต่อการถ่วงดุลอำนาจ (balance of power) ในภูมิภาค จนอาจทำให้เกิดผลกระทบต่อความมั่นคงและเสถียรภาพภายในของญี่ปุ่น
