From the European Health Community to the European Health Union: The Project of the Supranational Health and Research Organization of the European Countries and its Historical Destiny
Authors: Chetverikov A. O.
Published: July 2021

The paper examines the little-known pages of the legal regulation of international integration in Europe: the project of the creation in the middle of the 20th century of the European Health Community (EHC) and its relationship to the current project for the establishment of the European Health Union. The introduction examines the reasons for the ineffective response of the modern European Union (EU) to the global coronavirus pandemic, mainly due to the lack of European institutions, in contrast to the economy and a number of other spheres of public life, supranational powers in the field of health.

The first section analyzes the main provisions of the draft EHC presented by the French Government in 1952 and became the subject of an international "preparatory conference" with the participation of 16 European countries at the end of the same year. The author gives special attention to the legal consolidation in the EHC draft founding treaty of "sanitary activities" (prevention and counteraction of various types of diseases); "cultural provisions" dedicated to the collection of information, the development of scientific research and education in the field of health; provisions on the creation of a common therapeutic and research infrastructure of the EHC; the political and legal nature of the EHC as a supranational organization with restrictions in its favor of the sovereign rights of the participating states.

The second section describes and evaluates the domestic, foreign, and economic factors that prevented the creation of the EHC.

The final section examines the impact of the EHC on the law-making and law-enforcement activities of the modern EU, and compares the legal model of the EHC with the model of the European Health Union, which was established in the end of 2020. There are also proposals for using the experience of European integration in the field of healthcare for the development of integration processes in a similar field between Russia and other former Soviet republics, including the creation of common medical and research centers under the auspices of the Union State of Russia and Belarus and (or) the Eurasian Economic Union, equipped with mega-science facilities (synchrotrons, etc.), other advanced infrastructure of scientific theoretical and scientific applied nature.

Published: July 2021

This study tested the attitudes, beliefs and ideas of healthcare professionals regarding the necessity of establishing a trauma foundation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It addressed the apparent lack of existence of such a foundation designed to respond to major trauma predicaments challenging the country. To accomplish the objectives of this study, this exploration surveyed all relevant literature and designed a survey to test the attitudes on the need for a foundation as well as a number of hypothesized relationships. The sample tested included 116 Saudi and non Saudi healthcare professionals in hospitals and the Ministry of Health: 60 physicians, 36 nurses, 16 administrators and 4 participants who did not respond. The conclusions drawn from this research project showed an overwhelming percentage of professionals expressed the need for the development of a trauma foundation to oversee trauma care in the country.
What is the "Western Pattern?"
Authors:   , Cass Jonathan L.
Published: July 2021

Meal pattern analysis is an emerging technique in nutritional epidemiology useful for identifying eating patterns associated with disease. Two meal patterns commonly found in large epidemiologic studies are the "Western" pattern, characterized by high intakes of red meat, eggs, refined grains, fried foods and added sugars, and the "prudent" or "healthy" pattern, consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low fat food items. The Western pattern has become more common worldwide along with the chronic diseases associated with this eating pattern, including obesity, heart disease, type II diabetes mellitus and some diet-related cancers. Factor analysis was used to determine major dietary patterns from 2005- 06 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) data. Variables were entered into factor analysis with three different grouping schemes. Individuals in the top quintile of each factor were considered to have the greatest adherence to a given pattern. The 39 category analysis provided a balance between simplifying output and retaining predictive value of different food types. Multiple logistic regression models were constructed to determine predictors from demographic and 24-hour dietary recall data, including total energy, food source, food groups represented, number of eating occasions, and breakfast skipping. Men were more likely to follow the Western pattern, and women as well as older Americans were more likely to follow the healthy diet pattern. Mexican Americans and other Hispanics were much less likely, and black Americans much more likely than other ethnicities to follow the Western diet pattern. There was a clear linear relationship showing increased likelihood of following the healthy pattern with each increasing level of education. High income groups were both less likely to follow the healthy diet pattern and less likely to follow the Western pattern when compared to all other income groups. Increasing daily energy had a strong positive association with the Western pattern, and increasing dietary diversity was inversely associated with the Western pattern. Eating out at a restaurant or bar was associated with a lower likelihood of following the healthy pattern. A greater number of eating occasions was generally associated with a lower likelihood of following the Western pattern with the exception of the highest frequency snacking group (9-21 snack items per day). Individuals reporting only 1-2 snack items per day were about half as likely to follow the healthy pattern. Skipping breakfast was associated with an almost 1.5 times greater likelihood of following the healthy diet pattern. These findings are potentially useful for identifying individuals at risk for disease, or targeting health promotion efforts to specific population subgroups. A short form scale based on these results may help to identify strong adherents of the Western dietary pattern in resource-limited settings.

AbstractAmong the available techniques for gingival recession treatment, the main surgical technique for gain of keratinized tissue is the free gingival graft. This procedure is also indicated for vestibule extension and frenulum removal. The technique consists of the epithelial and connective tissues removal from a donor site and its repositioning on to a recipient site, being an effective primary stability mandatory for the healing process. The aim of this study was to describe a case report of a 35-year-old male, who reported a postoperative complication in donor area, after a free gingival graft which occurred 07 days later. This situation occurred after patient reported having rinsed his mouth with hot water during shower. Due to that, a 1mm thick acetate tray was readymade for the donor site comfort and protection. Among the demands presented in this case, free gingival graft was the primary surgical choice to increase keratinized tissue. Despite the patient’s morbidity, due to the two surgical sites, the use of the acetate tray showed great reduction in patient’s discomfort and trauma. This approach proved to be successful since the patient described increase in self-esteem and oral hygiene facilitation which in combination contributed to satisfactory final results.

ResumoEntre as técnicas disponíveis para o tratamento da recessão gengival, a principal técnica cirúrgica para ganho de tecido queratinizado é o enxerto gengival livre. Este procedimento também é indicado para extensão do vestíbulo e remoção do frênulo. A técnica consiste na remoção de tecidos epiteliais e conectivos de um local doador e seu reposicionamento no local receptor, sendo necessária uma estabilidade primária eficaz para o processo de cicatrização. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever um relato de caso de um homem de 35 anos, que relatou uma complicação pós-operatória na área doadora, 07 dias após a realização de um enxerto gengival livre. Essa situação ocorreu depois que o paciente relatou ter enxaguado a boca com água quente durante o banho. Devido a isso, uma placa de acetato de 1 mm de espessura foi preparada para conforto e proteção do local doador. Entre as demandas apresentadas neste caso, o enxerto gengival livre foi a principal opção cirúrgica para aumentar o tecido queratinizado. Apesar da morbidade do paciente, devido aos dois locais cirúrgicos, o uso da placa de acetato demonstrou grande redução no desconforto e trauma do paciente. Essa abordagem mostrou-se bem-sucedida, uma vez que o paciente descreveu aumento da autoestima e facilitação da higiene bucal, o que em conjunto contribuiu para resultados finais satisfatórios.

Published: July 2021

AbstractPleomorphic adenoma is a benign neoplasm of the salivary glands that affects most frequently females in the fourth and sixth decade of life. As it is usually an asymptomatic lesion, it is diagnosed upon routine physical examination. Treatment consists in surgical removal with partial or total involvement of the parotid gland. Conservative enucleation is the least invasive surgical option for this type of lesion. The present work aimed to report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland with eight years of evolution. The tumor was treated conservatively. Patient has been followed for sixth months, and no sensory alterations, fistulae, clinical signs of recurrence, nor any other alteration have been observed so far. Due to the benign nature of the lesion, an evolution with favorable prognosis is expected.

ResumoO Adenoma pleomórfico é uma neoplasia benigna de glândulas salivares, que acomete com maior frequência pessoas do sexo feminino entre a quarta e sexta década de vida. Por se tratar de uma lesão muitas vezes assintomática, geralmente é descoberta através do exame físico de rotina. O seu tratamento consiste em remoção cirúrgica podendo envolver ou não a glândula parótida de maneira parcial ou total. A enucleação conservadora é a modalidade cirúrgica menos invasiva para este tipo de lesão. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo relatar um caso de adenoma pleomórfico em glândula parótida com oito anos de evolução. O tumor foi tratado de maneira conservadora. A paciente está sendo acompanhada há 6 meses e não foram observados até momento alterações sensoriais, fistulas, indícios clínicos de recidiva ou qualquer outra alteração. Devido ao caráter benigno da lesão, espera-se evolução com prognóstico favorável.

Requirements form the legal basis for many development pro-jects. They are usually exchanged between customer and supplier in the form of product and requirements specifications and re-quire a subsequent integration effort into the corresponding requirements management solutions. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), which mainly use office solutions for the management of requirements, this involves a very high integration effort, which is why this is usually only partially managed or not managed at all. Software solutions available on the market already offer support, but they are too expensive or complex, especially for small companies. The project DAM4KMU, funded by German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), addresses this challenge and by enabling SMEs from Germany to integrate requirement documents automatically into existing requirement structures with the help of NLP-based techniques. For this purpose, the documents to be processed are divided into semantic roles, which can then be transferred into a semantic data structure. This in turn enables an automatic linking of the requirements and system components, which reduces the manual effort and avoids possible errors.

The interest in magnesium and its alloys considerably increases in recent years. These materials have a unique complex of properties: light-weight and strength make magnesium alloys promising structural materials for the aircraft industry and space application, and ability to reabsorb in vivo conditions and good biocompatibility allow producing biodegradable surgical implants of magnesium alloys, which can resorb in a human body without detriment to health. The materials for such demanding applications require detailed investigation of their properties, such as corrosion, including the kinetics of corrosion rate and staging of corrosion damage on the surface. To obtain a full view of the corrosion process, in addition to common ex-situ methods such as the corrosion rate evaluating using the weight loss method and the morphology corrosion damage investigation by optical or confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), it is important to use modern in-situ methods. In-situ methods allow obtaining data immediately during the experiment and not after its completion. The authors carried out a comprehensive study of the corrosion process of the commercial ZK60 and AZ31 magnesium alloys in the simulated human-body environment (temperature, corrosion media composition, circulation of corrosion media) using in-situ methods, including hydrogen evolution corrosion rate evaluating and video-observation of a sample surface. The results show that AZ31 alloy is more corrosion-resistant than ZK60 alloy. Moreover, AZ31 alloy is prone to filiform surface corrosion, and ZK60 alloy exhibits severe pitting corrosion. Based on the comparison of the data obtained by in-situ and ex-situ methods, the authors concluded on their main differences and features.

The relevance of scientific research is caused primarily by the general transition of the society to the funds’ transfer network. Physical money is replaced by virtual one, the access to which is granted remotely. Therefore, in some situations, a lawbreaker can gain possession of non-cash resources far easier than stealing the cash of a possible victim. For the past two decades, lawbreakers successfully apply lots of ways allowing a lawbreaker both to possess personal information of another person – bank cardholder and, subsequently, to steal money from a holder’s account. The paper determines the objective signs of a crime against property and the list of attributes typical for stealing money funds from a bank card. The authors distinguish the objective signs of two bodies of a crime, which can fall within the definition of embezzlement from a bank card: a theft from a bank account, and fraud using electronic payment facilities. The authors conclude that the embezzlement from a bank card throw the commission of fraudulent acts is possible only when interacting with a third party. The actual presence of another person (a victim or an employee of credit, bank, commercial, or other organization) and the interaction of a criminal with this person is a prerequisite for classifying a crime as a fraud. Any actions aimed at the unlawful seizure of non-cash monetary assets and not accompanied by direct contact with a third party should be classified as theft.

The search for ways to increase the efficiency of educational and professional activities of students during the period of study at a military university remains relevant at present. The provision of optimal methods for the students’ professional competencies formation considering their personality dimensions at the shortage of study time has particular importance. The subject of the research is the special aspects of self-adjustment of cadets with different performance levels. The study aims at identifying the features of voluntary self-adjustment and personal characteristics of cadets with different academic performance levels in technical disciplines at a military university. The authors determined the theoretical approaches to the study of self-adjustment as personal property, mental state, and conditions for the successful activity. The paper includes the systematization of the ideas of the self-adjustment role in the process of educational and professional activity. The authors theoretically substantiate the necessity of considering the peculiarities of self-adjustment of cadets of a military higher education institution manifested in the subjective focus on particular phenomena. The paper presents data on the respondents, which includes ninety-one first-year cadets of Novosibirsk Military Institute. The authors substantiate the division of respondents into groups with high and low levels of academic performance. The study identified special aspects of self-control of military university cadets with different levels of academic performance manifested in the orientation of voluntary self-adjustment. The authors determined the features of voluntary self-adjustment of cadets with a high level of academic performance manifested in the presence of the pronounced perseverance in educational activities, friendliness towards fellow students, and the pronounced cognitive need; identified features of voluntary self-adjustment of cadets with a low level of academic performance manifested in the lack of self-control and critical assessment of actions, ignoring their mistakes, and the desire to dominate in interpersonal relations.

Published: July 2021

The paper considers the reduction in the composition of subjects of tax legal relations because of amendments to Art. 9 of the RF Tax Code. The authors analyze possible consequences caused by the quantity changes in the composition of members of tax legal relations in the taxes and fees legislation and what impact it had on tax legal relations. The paper considers the participants of tax legal relations and the peculiarities of their status. In particular, the paper examines in more detail such subjects as taxpayers, payers of fees, tax agents, largest taxpayers, and a consolidated group of taxpayers. Using the statistical data, the authors analyze the activity dynamics and the change in the number of certain categories of taxpayers and classify members of tax legal relations. According to the given classification, the authors analyze the legal status of the participants in tax legal relations defined in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Individually, such tax relations participant as a private entrepreneur is considered. The authors present the reasons for dynamic changes in the quantity composition of individual entrepreneurs from 2018 to early 2021. The paper assesses the absence in the RF Tax Code of such entities as the RF Ministry of Finance (financial authorities), credit organizations (banks), procedural persons (experts, specialists, witnesses, attesting witnesses), considers their functions and responsibilities. Based on the study results, the authors reasonably conclude that despite their absence in tax legislation as subjects of tax relations, they have not ceased to be actual participants in tax relations. Reasoning from this fact, the authors propose amending the RF Tax Code and including them in the list of subjects of tax legal relations, as well as introducing legal certainty and defining their legal status.
Investigation of the invasive plant infestation of the railway line between Gödöllő and Hatvan
Authors: Schermann Balázs , Czóbel Szilárd
Published: July 2021

Railway systems are considered as a special environment and they can play a key role in the spread of the invasive plant species. In Hungary, there was no survey that specifically examined the importance of these linear facilities before. Our survey aims to examine the condition of the Gödöllő-Hatvan railroad line in terms of the levels of invasive plant-infection and what can be the role of the railway itself in it. The data were collected manually by walking along the entire examined railway track section, where the invasive species were recorded within the 10 meter range of the outer axis of the open railway track. The latter was divided into 30 one-kilometer long sections and 120 two hundred and fifty meters long subsections. The exact position of each invasive species was recorded in these (sub)sections. The surveyed area was very diverse in habitat types. In the present study, the spatial distribution of the most common species is also presented in the studied trajectory section, highlighting the most infected areas. Contrary to our preliminary idea, the latter did not always occur in the immediate vicinity of the settlements. The survey did not demonstrate that this railway line promotes the spread of all occurring invasive species probably due to the very diverse habitats but for a general conclusion the study should be extended both in space and time.
Dominant Discourses and Teachers’ Comparative Sensemaking through Internationally Sited Professional Development Experience
Authors: W. Anderson Emily
Published: July 2021

The United Arab Emirates’ education policy agenda is focused on a singular goal: to be one of the top 20 countries in PISA 2022. The focus on PISA has become so robust in the UAE that it is now a central component of teachers’ professional development. This article explores teachers’ sensemaking of dominant education policy discourses through their experience in an internationally sited professional development program in Vietnam – a country whose 2015 PISA performance inspired the education policy reform in the UAE. The findings presented in this article highlight teachers’ deficit framing of difference and their performative adoption of STREAM-focused practices to replicate Vietnam’s 2015 PISA scores. This article concludes with recommendations for future research to better understand the ways in which dominant discourses inform teachers’ professional development, and opportunities to expand teachers’ roles in the policymaking process.
Prevalence of single umbilical artery, clinical outcomes and its risk factors: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Vafaei Homeira , Rafeei Khatoon , Maryam Dalili Maryam Dalili , Asadi Nasrin , Seirfar Nosaibe , Akbarzadeh-Jahromi Mojgan
Published: July 2021

Background: Single umbilical artery (SUA) is found in 0.5–6% of all pregnancies worldwide. Although the association of SUA with some congenital malformations is mainly accepted, its effect on pregnancy/neonatal outcomes is still controversial.
Objective: This is the first study aimed to approximate the SUA prevalence in southern part of Iran. SUA epidemiologic features accompanied by some of its effects on pregnancy/neonatal outcomes are investigated as well.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data from two referral centers in Southern Iran were analyzed. In total, 1,469 pregnancies, fetuses, and neonates were examined for epidemiological features associated with SUA. SUA was confirmed by pathological examination, while congenital anomalies were diagnosed by clinical, ultrasound, and echocardiographical examinations. Data on pregnancy outcome were recorded based on the patients’ medical records.
Results: The prevalence of SUA was 3.47% (95% CI: 2.6–4.6%). Fetal anomalies including renal, cardiac, and other congenital anomalies, intrauterine fetal death, early neonatal death, low birth weight, low placental weight, and preterm birth were significantly higher in the SUA group (OR = 68.02, 31.04, 16.03, 3.85, 11.31, 3.22, 2.70, and 2.47, respectively). However, the maternal multiparity was lower in the SUA group (OR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.44–0.98).
Conclusion: A significant association was observed between SUA and increased risk of intrauterine fetal death and early neonatal death, as well as low birth weight and preterm birth. Obstetrical history of the mother like parity was identified as an important predictor of SUA. Further investigations are suggested on risk stratification of neonates in this regard.

Authors: Yavangi Mahnaz , Varmaghani Nesa , Pirdehghan Azar , Varmaghani Maryam , Faryadras Mohammad
Published: July 2021

Background: Endometrial scratch injury is considered controversial in increasing the success rate of assisted reproductive technology.
Objective: To compare the pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing intrauterine insemination with and without an endometrial scratch.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 150 women referred to the Fatemieh Hospital, Hamadan, Iran who were candidates for IUI between December 2017 and December 2018 were randomly assigned into two groups (n = 75/each) with or without an endometrial scratch (as case and control groups, respectively). Women in both groups were in proper and identical protocol for IUI. Chemical and clinical pregnancies, abortion, and live birth rate, also pregnancy complications were compared between the groups.
Results: Chemical and clinical pregnancy rates were higher in the case than the control group (p = 0.25, p = 0.54, respectively). In the case group, the abortion and multiple gestation rates were 14.3% and 4.3%, respectively, while it was 5% in the control group (p = 0.60, p = 0.54 respectively). The endometrium thickness on day 21 was higher in the case group than the control (p = 0.01).
Conclusion: Endometrial scratching in intrauterine insemination women is not associated with an increase in both clinical and clinical pregnancy rates, however, studies with a larger sample size are recommended to evaluate this intervention.

Presumed clomiphene-induced optic neuropathy: A case report
Authors: Alizadeh Yousef , Moravvej Zahra , Khakpour Yaser , Azaripour Ebrahim , Akbari Mitra , Soltani-Moghadam Reza
Published: July 2021

Background: Clomiphene citrate is an estrogen receptor ligand with mixed agonistic–antagonistic properties used for the treatment of female and male infertility. Various visual disturbances and several irreversible visual outcomes have been associated with clomiphene citrate. In this report, we present a patient with presumed clomiphene-induced optic neuropathy.
Case: A 33-yr-old man with acute visual loss of the right eye was referred to Amiralmomenin Hospital, Rasht, Iran in November 2018. His only medication was clomiphene citrate 100 mg daily, taken for 2 wk for fertility issues. The patient presented with a sudden decrease of visual acuity in the right eye on the 14th day of starting the treatment and subsequently developed complete loss of inferior visual field within a few days. On examination, the visual acuity was 6/20 in the right and 20/20 in the left eyes, with a right relative afferent pupillary defect and decreased red color saturation. The fundus examination revealed optic disc swelling with venous dilation in the right eye and a normal left fundus with a crowded disc (disc-at-risk). The patient was evaluated for systemic disorders, all of which were normal. Findings were suggestive of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy most likely due to clomiphene.
Conclusion: As clomiphene may increase blood viscosity, it is hypothesized that reduced flow in a posterior ciliary artery in conjunction with the disc-at-risk contributes to the anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. It is advised that patients with disc-at-risk be aware of the possible non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and those experiencing visual symptoms while taking clomiphene be examined promptly for evidence of optic nerve injury.

Published: July 2021

Purpose: This comparative study was conducted to compare between two different design concepts of four implant assisted complete mandibular overdenture regarding the residual alveolar bone height changes.Materials and Methods: Ten healthy completely edentulous male patients were selected for this study. For each patient, a conventional complete denture was constructed. Each mandibular denture was duplicated to be used as a radiographic stent, then the CBCT surgical guide template was printed according to each design concept of 4-implant overdenture. The CBCT surgical guide templates were used for installing the implants according to flapless surgical technique followed by delayed loading. According to the two design concepts of the 4-implant overdenture used in this study, the patients were randomly classified into two equal groups: group [A]had two vertical canine implants with two axial 1st molar short implants (short design concept), and group [B]had two vertical canine implants with two distally inclined premolar implants (inclined design concept). Radiographic evaluations were performed immediately (T0), 6 months (T6), and 12 months (T12) respectively after picking up of the ball attachments.
Constructing Modern Indonesia Based on Pancasila in Dialogue with the Political Concepts Underlying the Idea of Human Rights
Authors: Madung Otto Gusti Ndegong , Mere Winibaldus Stefanus
Published: July 2021

This article aims to describe the role of Pancasila as an ideological basis and collective identity for the multicultural society of Indonesia. Pancasila has historically been proven to be able to unite Indonesia’s diverse peoples and cultures. Pancasila means five principles that construct the ethical basis for one common home, i.e. Indonesia. The principles are belief in one God, humanity, Indonesia’s national unity, representative democracy, and social justice for all Indonesian citizens. This article argues that in the midst of democratisation and the openness to globalisation, Pancasila needs to be re-interpreted and given a place in contemporary political discourse. It proposes that Pancasila should be read in the light of the contemporary political discourse between communitarianism and liberalism. Such a dialogue is fundamental to coping with the dogmatisation of Pancasila, which can result in the loss of its political relevance as a collective identity. Furthermore, liberalism and communitarianism are the two fundamental philosophical pillars beside socialism upon which the concept of human rights is developed. Therefore, combining Pancasila with the two philosophical concepts is very important to strengthen the role of Pancasila in promoting the idea and practices of human rights politics in Indonesia.

Published: July 2021

Several new records for 22 taxa of moth flies from Italy are presented. Among them, Clytocerus (Boreoclytocerus) dalii (Eaton, 1893) and Pericoma (Pericoma) pannonica Szabó, 1960 are new to the Italian fauna. The other taxa represent new regional records, chiefly from central Apennine. Distribution of each species is provided, together with ecological and taxonomic remarks, where relevant. The name pseudoexquisita Tonnoir, 1940, in Pericoma Walker, 1856, is found to be an incorrect subsequent spelling, hence unavailable. The correct original spelling is pseudexquisita Tonnoir, 1940.
Experimental studies of electromagnetic fields on electric rolling stock

Objective: To identify the influence of electromagnetic interference of various origins on the func- tioning of electronic components of control systems in electric rolling stock (ERS) and radio commu- nication devices, and the effect of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on humans. To carry out experi- mental studies of the ERS EMF characteristics taken as source data, allowing to assess the need to take appropriate actions to ensure electromagnetic safety. One of such measures is the optimal ar- rangement of electric equipment in the driver’s cabin of an electric locomotive or electric train, which will make it possible to achieve the minimum electric and magnetic field strength values under specified conditions. Methods: Direct measurement of the electromagnetic field characteristics in the driver’s cabin of a new 2ES-5 (2ЭС-5) AC electric locomotive (joint production of Transmashhol- ding JSC, Russia, and Alstom, France), as well as on a 2ES4K (2ЭС4К) DC electric locomotive (driver’s cabin, high-voltage chamber, electric locomotive roof) and an ED4M (ЭД4М) DC electric train (dri- ver’s cabin, train car). In the driver’s cabin, measurements were carried out near the working appa- ratus, near the driver’s and assistant's seats and at frequencies for which the maximum permissible levels have been set. Results: The magnetic field strengths (as having the greatest effect on the func- tioning of the electronic components of the ERS control systems and on the person) in the driver’s cabin of electric locomotives and electric trains were measured at different currents under the fol- lowing conditions: starting, traction, braking in the high-voltage chamber and on the electric locomo- tive roof. Practical importance: The given electromagnetic field characteristics do not exceed the specifications set forth in the regulatory documents of the Russian Federation. However, when trains move, there are bursts of EMF strength values due to transient processes in the power supply sys- tem: on DC ERS, the magnetic field strength in the driver’s cabin reached 100 A/m, the electric field strength — 8,5 kV/m, magnetic induction on the DC electric locomotive roof — 400 μT. These values exceed the maximum permissible levels and require the relevant actions to ensure electromagnetic safety.

A escrita de J.G. Ballard (1930-2009) abre-se a um conjunto de discussões que são fundamentais para os campos da Antropologia e da Literatura. Considerado um dos grandes nomes da literatura inglesa, o autor se divide entre os gêneros da escrita autobiográfica e ficção científica. Neste artigo, analiso um conjunto diverso de obras que se conectam pelo que se denominou paisagem narrativa, conceito inspirado nas teorias do antropólogo Tim Ingold (2015). A análise pormenorizada das obras, do contexto histórico e pessoal do autor trazem à baila discussões referentes à memória, trauma e modernidade, ensejando em um mapeamento das principais questões da civilização ocidental na segunda metade do século XX. Os objetivos consistem em produzir, através das narrativas ficcionais, imagens e leituras do mundo social, tomando a obra literária como elemento em constante relação com este. Conclui-se que as ficções ballardianas são experimentos com as dimensões sociais e individuais da memória, observando a leitura crítica sobre o período pós-guerra e os efeitos colaterais do projeto burguês de civilização capitalista.

Nessa apresentação, procuramos discutir, em dois momentos, algumas questões suscitadas ao longo do processo de construção do dossiê “Interpretações do Brasil e dilemas contemporâneos”. O primeiro se refere à noção de “interpretações do Brasil”, de modo a ressaltar sua relevância teórica na contemporaneidade e discutir o estatuto da área de Pensamento Social no Brasil na atualidade. Em um segundo momento, tratamos mais diretamente alguns dilemas da contemporaneidade, tendo em vista o desafio de articulação de questões contemporâneas a autores considerados clássicos, que pensam o capitalismo e a modernidade a partir da periferia. Após essas considerações de ordem mais geral, realizamos uma breve apresentação dos artigos que compõem o presente dossiê.

Published: July 2021

Indonesia is one of the countries affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has a negative impact on economic, educational, socio-cultural, and other aspects. When viewed from a financial aspect, this pandemic has made efforts to shift trade from trading directly or face-to-face to online or commonly referred to as e-commerce, which is now an online business. This research method is quantitative and qualitative. Researchers used a purposive sampling technique to get respondents aged 15 to 25 who worked as online businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Then, the data analysis that the researchers did was descriptive statistical analysis. This study indicates that the most driving factor for young people aged 15 to 25 to do online business is to follow the current trends (37%). In addition, the inhibiting factor that many young people experience when running online businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic is a large number of competitors (37%). The number of competitors is related to the difficult economic situation during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the results of this study also show that 60% of respondents choose that online business has no impact on academics because respondents say that doing business online provides positive energy. So, high school students, college students, and the general public (aged 18-25 years) can continue to develop online businesses even though they are during the Covid-19 pandemic.
DETERMINANTS OF UNMET NEEDS IN MARRIED WOMEN IN INDONESIA (INDONESIAN DHS ANALYSIS 2017)
Authors: Nisak Bethania Amruh
Published: July 2021

The incidence of unmet needs in Indonesia is still high, around 10.6 percent. For every 36 million couples of childbearing age, there are 4 million couples who experience unmet needs. The high number of unmet needs will trigger various effects on women of childbearing age. One of the impacts is unwanted pregnancy. This unwanted pregnancy can be a factor in morbidity and mortality in the mother, increasing maternal mortality if not addressed promptly. This study is an observational non-reactive study. This study aimed to determine the factors related to the unmet need for family planning in married women. The study subjects were 29,189 married women aged 15-49 years old (women of childbearing age). The data source comes from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) in 2017. Further analysis was carried out using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. The results show that the factors affecting the unmet need for family planning in women are the age of women, the number of children who are still alive, family planning discussions between spouses or husband and wife, education level, employment status, knowledge related to methods, and history of family planning use. The variable of family planning usage history is the most influential factor in the unmet need for family planning in pregnant women. Women who have never done birth control have a high risk of unmet need—women's knowledge about contraceptive methods related to the contraceptive method and the history of using family planning (p-value <0.05). The variable of family planning usage history is the most influential factor in the unmet need for family planning in pregnant women. Women who have never done birth control have a high risk of unmet need—knowledge related to family planning methods and history (p-value <0.05). The variable of family planning usage history is the most influential factor in the unmet need for family planning in pregnant women. Women who have never done birth control have a high risk of unmet need.

HIV/AIDS remain the most serious diseases worldwide. One of the efforts that health workers have made in health promotion using prevention and control. This study aims to determine the factors that interact with the attitude of PLWHA. This study used a descriptive analysis using the chi-square statistical test. The use of data is secondary data from 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The results of statistical testing using the chi-square found that the factors that influence rejection attitudes in people with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are age (p = 0.001; λ = 0, 05), area of residence (p = 0.001; λ = 0.05), education (p = 0.001; λ = 0.05), and exposure to mass media (p = 0.001; λ = 0.05). From the results of statistical tests, it can be seen that attitudes towards PLWHA are influenced by age and area of residence.

Migração e mobilidade pendular em municípios do aglomerado de confecções das mesorregiões Agreste de Pernambuco e Borborema da Paraíba
Authors: Fusco Wilson , Véras de Oliveira Roberto , De Mello Moreira Morvan
Published: July 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar indicadores de migração e mobilidade pendular da população residente em municípios selecionados de Pernambuco e da Paraíba, onde está localizado um aglomerado de confecções, paralelamente à evolução de indicadores da população ocupada em atividades econômicas que caracterizam o recorte territorial. A análise baseia-se nos microdados dos Censos Demográficos de 1991, 2000 e 2010. Os municípios foram classificados em três grupos, em função da trajetória histórica para o desenvolvimento do aglomerado e da participação da população em atividades de produção e comercialização de vestuário e acessórios. Verificou-se que, no período considerado, a população do aglomerado aumentou sua participação nos respectivos estados em função da atratividade migratória, fato confirmado pelos resultados do saldo migratório, mas com diferenças importantes entre os grupos. Também foi observado crescimento da participação da população ocupada nas atividades referidas. Foram encontradas evidências do transbordamento das atividades vinculadas às confecções dos municípios centrais para os municípios periféricos do aglomerado. Por fim, evidenciou-se a ampliação de movimentos pendulares para trabalho, juntamente com a maior integração dos municípios do aglomerado em função desses movimentos e dos fluxos migratórios.
