Birth event: legal significance of medical criteria for being born alive
Authors: Ostanina Elena A.
Published: December 2023

The event of birth entails the emergence of many legal relationships, and at the same time, the moment from which a person is considered to have been born is determined by subordinate regulatory legal acts. At the same time, subordinate regulatory legal acts use a combination of several criteria, which makes it difficult for citizens to understand the legislation, to whom the legislation is addressed and entails the development of contradictory judicial practice. The purpose of the study is to analyze the criteria for being born alive, the tasks are to find out ways to possibly improve legislation and the practice of its application.
Methodology. The study was conducted using historical, comparative legal methods and using an economic and psychological approach.
The results of the study: the definition of criteria for being born alive in a subordinate regulatory act is not entirely justified. The existing norms use criteria such as gestational age and weight as criteria for being born alive, but it must be recognized that all these formal criteria are only presumptions introduced to simplify the proof of viability. The presumption of viability is not required if, after the separation of the baby from the mother’s body, one or another sign of being born alive (heartbeat, independent breathing, etc.) is observed. Regulation at the level of a by–law somewhat confuses the facts — the conditions for the application of presumptions and the main fact to be proved — the birth alive. A significant disadvantage of the rules governing birth registration is the rule of 168 hours for an infant born with a gestation period of less than 22 hours. This norm does not fully correspond to the prevailing ideas about birth and death in society and is subjectively perceived by citizens as unfair.
Conclusion: the legislation on birth registration needs to be changed in the part in which it does not consider the separation of the fetus from the mother’s body at a gestation period of less than 22 weeks, if the fetal weight is less than 500 g and life expectancy is less than 168 hours, since this criterion, firstly, violates the rules of formal logic (it is considered born… if he has lived for more than 168 hours), secondly, it does not contribute to the protection of the personal intangible benefits of the mother and child, and thirdly, it also does not allow protecting the medical organization from unreasonable liability.

Published: December 2023

Financial inclusion is the cornerstone of savings and investment initiatives among. Youth who are financially included have greater access to credit from financial institutions and can create and expand investment opportunities. In addition, the inclusion of youth in financial systems improves access to financial education and planning, which increases employment opportunities and ensures that previously marginalized and alienated youth are reintegrated into the economy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of financial technology on the financial inclusion of youth owned businesses in Nairobi’s central business district. The researcher targeted a large population of approximately 32100 youth owned business enterprises in the central business district of Nairobi. Convenient sampling was used to select 500 respondents aged between 20 and 35 years, per the definition of youth by the Department of youth affairs. The researcher employed a descriptive research methodology. Using open-ended questionnaire, primary data was collected. The research discovered that the utilization of mobile phones, access to the internet, and the provision of agency services have a noteworthy impact on enhancing the financial inclusion of young individuals. The research findings suggest that the achievement of financial inclusivity for enhancing the participation of young individuals in economic frameworks is facilitated by the utilization of cellular devices, the utilization of online technology, the utilization of services through intermediaries, and the acquisition of financial literacy. Therefore, the formulation of strategies aimed at enhancing financial inclusivity among the youth in the central business district of Nairobi should prioritize the enlargement of entry and amplification of financial technology solutions.

Multi-Stage Classification Scheme to Optimize Medical Treatments
Authors:   Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of NAS RA, Gishyan Karen M.
Published: December 2023

In most existing machine learning and deep learning settings, classification and regression prediction problems may be described as a process where the model output is based on a single-stage input. In most real-life scenarios achieving the desired medical state for the patient may involve dynamically solving drug prescription problems based on the input data at different stages, where each stage is a logical grouping such as timestep division, ICU stay, etc. Data at a given stage represents a recovery progression and can be fundamentally different from the datasets from the previous and future stages. Although A single model may solve the task, a multi-stage learning procedure may be more suitable. To solve this task, we propose an FNN-driven ensemble-based approach for predicting the medications that the patient should receive at each stage of the recovery process. The final medical discharge location is predicted as a result of sequential predictions of drugs and features. In this work, we combine model ensembling and multi-stage iterative learning for solving an optimal drug prescription generation task as a contribution to the existing literature.

Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of research on the formation of crop yields depending on the depth of tillage in the arid conditions of the Lower Volga region. Basic tillage is an important agrotechnical technique that affects many indicators, including crop yields. The aim of the research was to study the influence of basic tillage (classical and energy-saving) on crop productivity, as well as on the process of creating optimal water-physical properties of the soil of short-rotation crop rotations in conditions of insufficient moisture. The research was carried out at the experimental field of Rossorgo in 2021-2023. The experiment traces the dependence of the main agrophysical properties of the soil, the contamination of crops and crop yields on the applied techniques. It is proved that plowing is the most effective in the rain-fed conditions of the Lower Volga region. With the minimization of the main tillage, yields decrease, with the use of disking – by 10...30%, on variants with cultivation – by 14...51%, as well as deterioration of the water-physical properties of the soil and the phytosanitary condition of crops.

Methodological principles of research of social communication processes
Authors:   Vasil Stefanik Carpathian National University, Kholod Oleksandr
Published: December 2023

The purposeof the study was to identify the methodological principles of research into social communication processes.Among the general research methods, we chose holism as a «methodological principle and worldview concept that asserts the integrity and indivisibility of the material and spiritual world». Based on the basic ideas of J. Smuts about holism and ideas about quantum mechanics, we interpret Unity as something that cannot be dissected even for scientific analysis.As a methodof further study ofthe analyzed problem, we chose the following research procedures: analysis of available sources of application of adequate methods for the study of social communications; highlighting certain close characteristics of the methods described by us; on the basis of the identification of similar signs of combining methods into groups; formulation of methodological principles of social communications research.The resultswere obtained according to three criteria: the presence/absence of signs characterizing thetheoretical or practical meaning of research procedures within the framework of information exchange between elements of the Whole; the presence/absence of signs of involvement of the research path in society as a Whole (individual, family, social group, social class, social institution, society, etc.); focus on the study of means of regulation of social relations and relationships affecting the state of the Whole.Conclusions. It was found that the identification of common and divergent features of research methods of social communication processes allows for the classification (according to three holistic criteria) of frequent methods, approaches and techniques revealed in the description of the results of 50 separate studies (for the period from 1968 year until 2022). The mentioned classification is based on the methodological principles of social communication research.
PathogenicText: SemiocentricApproach
Authors:   School of Journalism and Communication,Ukrainian Catholic University, Potyatynyk Borys
Published: December 2023

More than a quarter ofa century ago, the concept of «pathogenic text»(PT) was introduced to media studies in Ukraine. In this article, we provide a review of academic publications that reflect on this concept from a philosophical perspective. Since 1996, the PT concept has been widely discussed in academic discourse. Therefore, it is important to summarize its usage by outlining our current interpretation and addressing how the concept differs from the more familiar term «harmful content». Can the destructive influence of the media always be attributed to deliberate and malicious actions of certain individuals? If we interpret «pathogenic»as «harmful», the simplest way to identify pathogenic text is by analysing it through the lens of law and morality. From this perspective, the problem of PT can be addressed by adhering to the laws andethical normsadopted in any given country. According to the formula «harmful is what is prohibited by law», this approach may seem convenient and straightforward. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that this approach is too one-sided. The concept of pathogenic text has been incorporated into some media studies. We support the attempt by various authors to separate a purely applied understanding of the pathotext (based, for instance, on legal restrictions and prohibitions) from its neutral philosophical interpretation. Some authors have made the concept and classification of PT part of themethodological frameworkof their research, while others have sought to elaborate on or criticise our classification.Publications by various authors on this topic encourage a reconsideration of the initial understanding ofpathogenic text, particularly in the context of semiocentrism. We also view our proposed considerations as a contribution to the philosophy and methodology of media studies.Keywords: media philosophy, pathogenic text, propaganda, noocenosis, semiocentrism.
The role of mass media «throw-ins»of Russian propagandistsin the conditions of the 3rd period of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022 –2023

Published: December 2023

The purposeof the study is to find out the role of mass media «throw-ins»of Russian propagandists during the 3rd period of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022–2023.Research methods.In the research, we used such theoretical methods as a comparative analysis of research related to the analyzed topic and hypothetical-deductive. They allowed us to understand the current situation more deeply. Among the practical methods, we chose surveys and quantitative and qualitative analysis of the obtained data.Research technique. 50 respondents aged 18 to 22 were surveyed using the Google Form electronic unit. There they answered 6 questions related to the mass media «throw-ins»of Russian propagandists, their role, and their influence on Ukrainians. After that, a quantitative and qualitative analysis was conducted based on theoretical knowledge and the obtained data.According to the results of the study, mass media «throw-ins»have little or no influence on young people aged 18–20. According to the observations of the interviewees, the concentration of «throw-ins»increased significantly with the beginning of a full-scale invasion. We also proved the hypothesis and can state that the spread of disinformation affects those who live in Ukraine more than those who live abroad. According to the respondents, their dissemination can pursue different goals, but they are all united by a common desire to harm Ukrainian society.Conclusions.Disappointment of Ukrainians in victory, intimidation of the population, provocation of a sensual reaction, imposition of a certain position, change of views, and substitution of information–the aggressor country is counting on all this, spreading its disinformation. So, mass media «throw-ins»perform a propaganda role in its negative aspect. Keywords:mass-media «throw-ins», Russian propaganda, disinformation.
RomaniLanguage, LinguisticRightsand«Antigypsyism»
Authors:   University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland, Kyuchukov Hristo
Published: December 2023

The article analyses the forms of «antigypsyism»towards the use of Romani language, education of Roma children in their mother tongue and the linguistic human rights of Roma. After defining the «hate speech» and «antigypsyism», «antiziganism», «online hate» given by different authors, research with some Roma communities in Slovakia is presented. The «antigypsysim» is expressed directly or online towards Roma. The forms of personal/individual, institutionalized antigypsyism,institutionalized personal antigypsyismare discussed. Romani is in daily use mainly in the segregated Roma settlements. However, neither in the segregated nor in the special schools are the children offered lessons to build formal literacy in their mother tongue. The attitudes of the teachers towards the use of the Romani language at school are often not positive and they do not have any activities supporting the use and development of Romani. They do not recognize that such children have a right to acquire literacy in their home language. It is not viewed as an asset but precisely the opposite: the teachers think that they do not need their mother tongue and that the official school language is more important. The official languages used by the children are also an object of hate speech in social media and society, because often they use a variety of the official language called «ethnolect», and not the official language. Applying the insights of Auduc (2006), Iconcluded that the discrimination against young Roma is even stronger when they are highly qualified. The antigypsyism is much greater towards educated Roma who are fighting for their language and identity rights. That is because in their countries of origin this category of human capital, e.g. educated Roma, cannot be integrated, and most of them emigrate to West European countries to find their professional realization.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal pain during active Covid-19 infection is a very common symptom in this patient group. Given the lack of studies characterizing pain in young adults with this disease, we set out to identify and characterize musculoskeletal pain in subadults with COVID-19 disease in Lanzarote. Objective: Determine the prevalence and characteristics of musculoskeletal pain in young individuals affected by COVID-19 in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional prevalence observational study was carried out in the Covid-19 Monitoring Unit in Lanzarote between February 2022 and March 2022 which were a) males and females, b) aged 18 to 22 years old, c) with confirmed Covid-19 tests and d) no gender restrictions. Results: A total of 150 patients were recruited and an ad hoc telephone questionnaire based on the Spanish version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire was administered. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was 58% (n=87; men 41 (48.2%); women 46 (51.8%) and its intensity was 4.63 (1.23) Regarding the location of perceived pain, the common anatomical sites of symptoms presentation were right shoulder (n=14, 21.5%), right knee (n=13, 20%) and right leg (n=12, 18.5%). Participants also reported heaviness (23.0%, n=20), numbness (20.7%, n=18) and/or stiffness (17.2%, n=15) followed by thermal changes such as cold (21.2%, n=18), highlighting the presence of stiffness in 43.4% (n=36). On the other hand, 17.2% (n=15) of the respondents reported pain described as fixed, internal, deep compared to 14.9% (n=13) who perceived it as diffuse, fixed, internal and profound. Conclusions: The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was 58.0% in a sample of young people exposed to COVID-19 in Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain). Furthermore, respondents generally defined it as an acute attack of low to moderate intensity in various parts of the upper and lower extremities, often accompanied by feelings of tiredness or muscle fatigue.

Diagnostic Challenge of d-dimer Negative Upper Extremity DVT
Authors: Ryan Andrew , Ferguson Mark , Hassan Mohammed , Niblock Aaron
Published: December 2023

Studies suggest D-Dimer has a high sensitivity with negative predictive value for upper extremity DVT (UEDVT). Sensitivity is around 92% with a negative predictive value of 98%. UEDVT is an uncommon presentation with an incidence rate of 4-10%. Risk factors for UEDVT include thrombophilia, central venous catheters, malignancy, pacemakers and upper limb surgery and/or immobilisation. The use of scoring systems for assessing UEDVT risk is less well known and therefore poorly utilised. A scoring system similar to a Wells' score, known as Constans criteria, is a 2 level scoring system developed and first published in 2008. The Criteria considers, venous material in-situ, localised pain, unilateral oedema and plausibility of alternative cause. Score interpretation; -1 to 0 points (low probability of UEDVT 12%), 1 point (intermediate probability 20%), 2 to 3 points (high probability 70%). Kleinjan, et al., sought further improved upon this scoring tool by incorporating D-dimer results in the stratification of intermediate risk patients, asserting that its use can safely and effectively exclude venous thrombosis of the upper extremity. This case series shows 2 patients diagnosed with UEDVT. both patients had a Constans score of 1 therefore prompting use of D-Dimer results to stratify risk. Irrespective of negative D-dimer results, ultrasound doppler scans where performed and appropriate treatment given. The authors of this case series reviewed the limitations/interference factors of HemosIL HS D-Dimer reagent, along with 2 other D-Dimer reagents and subsequently developed recommendations which may be useful in interpretation of D-Dimers in clinical practice. Additionally, recommendation for cautious intrepretation of D-Dimer results in conjunction the Constans scoring tool with scores of 1 or less

This study compares the effects of formal education—specifically, school-based accounting education—and parental influence on the financial literacy of first-year Nigerian university students. The research explores the intricate interactions among these variables, illuminating their importance and constraints in the particular Nigerian setting. According to the literature review, parents significantly influence young adults' financial attitudes and behaviors. A person's financial literacy has been demonstrated to be significantly impacted by informal, home-based financial education. The degree of guidance varies depending on parental financial literacy and economic diversity, meaning that parental influence is not always equally effective. Formal education, exemplified by accounting education in schools, provides a theoretical framework for financial concepts but frequently lacks a practical focus. Furthermore, concerns concerning uniformity are raised by differences in the caliber and applicability of accounting education among Nigerian institutions and regions. The implications that can be inferred from these findings are the need to encourage financial education at home, increase the practical applicability of formal education, and guarantee uniformity and quality control in formal financial education. Prospective research avenues, such as cross-cultural comparisons and longitudinal studies, present opportunities to expand the financial literacy knowledge among Nigerian early university students. Policymakers, educators, and researchers can build on this review paper as they continue to promote financial literacy and the financial health of Nigeria's youth.
