Factors Associated with Non-Regular Use of Sunscreens in Southern Brazil
Authors: Sasso Sergio
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The southern region of Brazil leads the statistics of skin cancer in Brazil, and multiple factors are related to this predisposition, such as low phototypes and excessive sun exposure. Ultraviolet radiation is the main modifiable risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, and the regular use of sunscreens has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of developing these diseases, as well as other photomediated dermatoses. Despite this, the prevalence of non-regular use of sunscreens in cities in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul proved to be above the desired level. In Santa Catarina cities, this prevalence was still undetermined. Objective: To identify the prevalence of non-use of sunscreen regularly and relate it to demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral and health variables. Method: A population-based cross-sectional study carried out in 2019 with individuals aged 18 years or older residing in the urban area of a large municipality in southern Brazil. Crude and adjusted analyzes were performed, using Poisson regression with a significance level of 5%, to assess the association between non-regular use of sunscreen and sociodemographic, behavioral and health variables. Results: 820 individuals were studied. The prevalence of not using sunscreen regularly was 52.8%. Factors associated with increased risk were: male sex (PR 1.57; 95%CI 1.39-1.77); smoking (PR 1.19; 95%CI 1.03-1.37); age, showing a direct linear trend; and schooling, showing an inverse linear trend. Having a supplementary health plan (PR 0.84; 95%CI 0.71-0.99) and walking during leisure time (PR 0.76; 95%CI 0.64-0.90) proved to be protective factors. Conclusion: This study allowed us to identify the profile of individuals at greater risk of not using sunscreen regularly and who, consequently, are at greater risk of developing photo-related skin diseases. It represents a potential benefit to public health insofar as it allows better targeting of prevention strategies.
A Recalcitrant Case of Eosinophilic Pustular Folliculitis
Authors: Jayne Tan Kathryn
Published: June 2023

Eosinophilic Pustular Folliculitis (EPF) or papulooerythroderma of Ofuji (PEO) is a rare dermatosis that presents with recurrent pruritic follicular papules and pustules that can involve the entire skin surface sparing the skin folds. This can be accompanied with elevated IgE levels and eosinophils. Diagnosis has been challenging due to its ability to mimic several common dermatologic disorders, such as acne and contact dermatitis. Literature has described the first line of therapy to be oral and topical indomethacin, however, success has been variable, and reports have been anecdotal. Until this day, there is yet to be standard guidelines for approach to diagnosis and management of this condition. In this article, we report a case of a 29 year-old female of Chinese descent who presented with papules on bilateral malar and nasal areas recalcitrant to topical corticosteroids. She demonstrated success with the use of a monthly regimen of isotretinoin after a perplexing diagnostic dilemma.
A Summary of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Evidence for Cannabinoid Hair Follicle Effects
Authors: Smith Gregory L
Published: June 2023

The endocannabinoid system (ECS), discovered in the 1990s, is a system involved with maintaining cellular homoeostasis by down-regulating the damaging inflammatory responses and upregulating regenerative processes. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) and cannabidivarin (CBDV) are all phytocannabinoids that have novel therapeutic effects on hair growth through the ECS receptors on hair follicles. These cannabinoids are fat-soluble and poorly absorbed past the epidermis, but topical application easily reaches hair follicles where CBDV, THCV and CBD act as partial or full CB1 antagonists and agonists of vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) and vanilloid receptor-4 (TRPV4). All these ECS receptors relate to hair follicle function. THC on the other hand has the opposite effects decreasing hair shaft elongation and matrix production. A summary of the pre-clinical and clinical cannabinoid research is reviewed. The studies confirm that for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) the method of action is different from and synergistic with current hair regrowth therapies. Blocking the CB1 receptor on the hair follicle has been shown to result in hair shaft elongation and matrix production via keratinocytes, in addition, the hair follicle cycle (anagen, catagen, and telogen phases) is controlled by TRPV1. The effects of CBD on hair growth are dose dependent and higher doses may result in premature entry into the catagen phase via a different receptor known as TRPV4. CBD has also been shown to increase Wnt signaling, which causes dermal progenitor cells to differentiate into new hair follicles and maintains anagen phase of the hair cycle. Two recent six-month duration clinical trials of adults with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) have revealed an average 93.5% increased hair count with CBD alone, and 164% increased hair count with hemp extract high in CBD, THCV, CBDV and menthol. A current study is underway to look at punch biopsies of the areas of hair regrowth in patients treated with a combination of CBD, THCV isolate, menthol and caffeine. Another study is underway looking at using hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) a hydrogenated version of THC to decrease facial hair growth as a cosmetic effect

The Fifth amendment to the US Constitution as one of the fundamental norms for the protection of human and citizen rights
Authors: Hutiv B.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the legal norms contained in the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America and their significant importance for a number of fundamental human rights and freedoms. The author analyzed the genesis of the formation of constitutionalism in the USA, starting from the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the US Constitution in 1787 until now. Since the original version of the Constitution had a number of shortcomings, in particular, it emphasized the separation of powers, the formation and functioning of state institutions, but described the rights and freedoms of citizens in a somewhat general way, 27 amendments were introduced to the Constitution, 26 of which are still in effect today. In 1791, the first 10 amendments were adopted, which later became known as the Bill of Rights, which was actually mainly devoted to human rights.

The author focused on a more detailed analysis of the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution. It is indicated that, first of all, this amendment regulates the procedure for bringing a person to justice for serious crimes, namely with the participation of the Grand Jury. It has been established that the Grand Jury requirement applies only to criminal indictments in the federal court system. The author highlights that the next provision of this amendment is devoted to the prohibition of double prosecution of a person for the same crime. The article proves that it is very significant, given the two-tiered system of American legislation, according to which a person's actions can be subject to the legislation of several states, federal legislation, etc. at the same time. The author substantiates that the ban on forcing to testify against oneself, which is declared in the studied amendment, is of great importance in the protection of the rights of suspects and the inadmissibility of illegal actions by the police. And, finally, the author defined the concept of «due legal procedure», without which state authorities have no right to deprive anyone of life, liberty or property.
Contracts for the purchase of affordable housing: concepts, legal nature and features
Authors: Rudakov D.
Published: June 2023

In Ukraine, the right of individuals – citizens to housing is constitutionally enshrined, which can be realized both by purchasing such an object of civil relations in ownership and in use. As of today, the issues of providing housing for the citizens of Ukraine have become particularly acute due to the fact that many of them lost it due to the criminal war against our state. These issues have become especially relevant due to the declaration of our state as a social state, because under such conditions, Ukraine must help its citizens to acquire rights to this category of property. For some reason, as of today, the most common basis for acquiring housing rights is the contract itself, which remains unique means of regulating legal relations in European private law.

The concept of housing in Ukraine is provided in a number of normative legal acts of various levels of legal force, among which, of course, the Civil Code of Ukraine and the Housing Code of Ukraine that occupy a special place. Affordable housing is built and those being built with state support, residential buildings (complexes) and apartments. State support for the construction of affordable housing consists in the payment by the state of 30 percent of the cost of construction (purchase) of affordable housing and/or the provision of a preferential mortgage housing loan.

Contracts for the purchase of this category of housing are sales contracts, that is, they belong to the group of transactions on the transfer of property into ownership. At the same time, by their legal nature, these are consensual, paid, bilateral and fixed-term (usually up to 12 months). In the case of investing in objects of unfinished construction, under certain conditions, such contracts may have a risky nature. Also, it is worth noting separately about: the specific subject composition of these contracts, the obligation to comply with the requirements regarding their form and specifics of execution.

The procedure for exercising the right to participate in public works in the social insurance system in case of unemployment
Authors: Mokrytska N.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the procedure for exercising the right to participate in public works by persons in the social insurance system in case of unemployment. The analysis of normative acts of Ukraine, which regulate legal relations regarding the involvement of persons in public works on a voluntary basis, was carried out.

As a result of the study of the relevant legal framework, it is substantiated that public works in general are a temporary form of employment for citizens who are looking for work only on the referral of the territorial employment body in the order of mandatory conclusion of a fixed-term employment contract, which expresses the free will of both the employee and the employer in the event of employment relations.

An integral element of the selection of public works is the written consent of the person. Analyzing the procedure of giving consent by a person to participate in public works in the relevant legislative acts, it is possible to follow at least several stages of giving such consent in written form. The initial stage of approval for public works is related to the issuance of a personal card. Further, the consent is recorded in the individual service provision plan (for persons who are in a state of partial unemployment) and the individual employment plan (for the registered unemployed). The final stage of approval is characterized by the absence of a refusal to conclude an employment contract in the referral for employment.

On the basis of the studied provisions of the legislation of Ukraine, it has been proven that the Vacancy Information is a source of information about the proposed temporary jobs at the relevant employer under the terms of a fixed-term employment contract, which is provided by the employment center under the conditions and in the order provided for drawing up individual plans for the provision of services and employment. At the same time, it is mandatory to enter information about the vacancy with the serial number of the document that certifies the completeness and authenticity of the information provided by the employment center.

In the process of clarifying the procedure for the selection of public works, it is proposed to provide that a person must within 10 working days agree to employment or refuse to participate in public works based on the vacancies offered to him. What is noted in the individual plans for the provision of services and employment with an entry in the personal card after the decision of the employment center to issue a referral for employment. The basis for issuing an order to hire an employee, if none of the parties has refused to conclude an employment contract, is a referral for employment.
The right to information under the conditions of modern globalization: certain aspects
Authors: Petsa D.
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes issues related to the content of the right to information in the modern context, limitations of the right to information and responsibility for information in the modern globalized society.

The realities of today's globalized world put another aspect of the issue of the right to information on the agenda. It is about limiting the right to information and responsibility for abusing freedom of information for the purpose of manipulating public opinion, and accordingly influencing the nature of social relations through it.

   The outlined circle of certain problematic aspects of the realization of the right to information in modern conditions proves the obvious need for the systematization of national legislation in this area. A manifestation of this could be the adoption of the long-awaited Information Code of Ukraine. Talks about this code have been going on since 1995, when the National Agency for Informatization under the President of Ukraine initiated its development.

As it seems to us, in this basic legal act in the information sphere, it is necessary to synchronize all normative legal acts in the information sphere, to bring them into line with today's requirements. In it, among other things, issues related to the clear establishment of the circle of modern subjects of information relations and their basic rights and obligations, the only principles that regulate these relations, should find their legal consolidation. Taking into account modern realities, it is necessary to modernize a number of terms in the information field, first of all, those related to the information space, such as information war, cybercrime, etc.

All this, ultimately, will contribute to the practical implementation of the main purpose of the right to information - to expand the opportunities of each person to ensure his other subjective rights, and therefore to increase his confidence in his own abilities and the satisfaction of his interests, the interests of society and the state as a whole.
Mental violence against a person as a criminal offense and its negative consequences
Authors: Humin O.M.
Published: June 2023

The article emphasizes that throughout the history of mankind, the problem of violence against a person was and is one of the most urgent. It is still in the center of attention as politics, philosophy, law, sociology, psychology and other sciences.The Constitution and legal regulations of Ukraine formulate norms that protect human rights and freedoms from any form of violence. Yes, in Art. 3 of the Basic Law of Ukraine clearly states that “A person, his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security are defined as the highest social value in Ukraine” [1].Based on the Constitution of Ukraine, international legal acts on the protection of human rights and freedoms, the Criminal Code of Ukraine (hereinafter the Criminal Code of Ukraine) states that it has the task of “legal protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen” [2].The article emphasizes that not only physical, but also mental violence plays an important role in the arsenal of violent actions against a person. Mental violence, first of all, is aimed not only at limiting the rights and freedoms of a person, but also causes great harm to his health and integrity, leads to moral and psychological suffering and humiliation of honor and dignity.The article states that mental violence is inherently an illegal, anti-humane, anti-social phenomenon, which ultimately has a negative impact on a person’s physical and mental health and can even lead to tragic consequences.The article focuses attention on the role and place of objective and subjective factors and determinants that push an individual to commit a criminal offense and, including, to mental violence.The article establishes that among the most dangerous forms and methods of mental violence against a person are beatings, beatings, which lead to the destruction of his mental state, depression, horror, fear and other moral and psychological consequences.Attention is focused on the most common forms nowadays: extortion, deception, fraud, intentional damage to property, which causes a person to feel a state of affect, depression, fear, neurosis and other negative factors. All these and other forms of mental violence cause not only deterioration of mental health, but as a result of mental aggression directed against the victim, he may lose his property and valuables.The article found out that nowadays scientific and technological progress has made significant changes in all spheres of social life, including personal behavior. His achievement actively uses criminality in his illegal activities. Among modern criminal offenses, cybercrime is particularly actively used as a form of mental violence, as well as the dissemination of false, unreliable, lying information directed not only against a real person, but also against his relatives and loved ones, which causes a person mental, shock, depression, shame and affect .
Criminal-legal provision of counter-intelligence measures when documenting collaborative activities
Authors: Kovalenko Ye.V. , Pletnov O.V.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of certain issues of increasing the effectiveness of counterintelligence activities, which are carried out when documenting collaborative activities, that is, a criminal offense provided for in Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The authors have analyzed certain problematic issues of covert counter-intelligence activities in the occupied territories and substantiated the need to expand the criminal-legal toolkit, which would allow obtaining new opportunities to fight against representatives of the aggressor state, which implement the occupation administration in the temporarily occupied territories and form illegal authorities, and as well as illegal judicial and law enforcement agencies.On the basis of scientific analysis, the authors proposed the introduction of a special basis for exemption from criminal liability for certain forms of collaborative activity, which, in their opinion, will allow organizing covert counterintelligence measures in uncontrolled territory, obtaining the necessary operational information and influencing the operational situation. The conditions for exemption from criminal liability for collaborative activity related to the occupation of positions defined by the disposition of the specified article include the subject’s voluntary appeal to the state authorities of Ukraine with a notification of their collaborative activity in the form of taking a position in illegal authorities, illegal judicial or law enforcement bodies established in the temporarily occupied territory, including in the occupying administration of the aggressor state; further participation of the subject in the performance of a special counter-intelligence or intelligence task; the absence of particularly severe consequences caused by the subject as a result of the performance of the duties of the position held.Taking into account the need for the subject to comply with the specified conditions in order to further resolve the issue of exemption from criminal liability for certain forms of collaborative activity, proposed changes in Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine in the form of a separate part, which would provide for a special basis for exemption from criminal liability. The hypothesis of the article is based on the assumption that similar changes to the criminal law on responsibility for collaborative activity will increase the effectiveness of counterintelligence activities in the territories occupied by the aggressor state.
The mechanism for the prescription of provisional measures in disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea
Authors: Halimurka P.
Published: June 2023

The article reviews the prerequisites and circumstances of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea development in the context of creating a system for resolving international maritime disputes. It was found that the adoption of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea was the result of a complex political process and lengthy negotiations at the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea. One of the results of that Conference was the establishment of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the Seabed Disputes Chamber as a part of the Tribunal.After that, the article analyzes separate norms that form a compulsory dispute settlement system for disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It has been established that the basic principles of the dispute settlement system established by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea are the principle of peaceful settlement of disputes and the principle of compulsory dispute settlement. Exceptions to the application of compulsory procedures for resolving disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea are considered.The main part of the article is the delineation of the limits and peculiarities of the mechanism for the prescription of provisional measures in disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Certain common features and differences between the provisions governing provisional measures in the law of the International Court of Justice, on the one hand, and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, on the other, are revealed. The binding nature of provisional measures prescribed under Article 290 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea has been established.Subject to the degree of agreement between the parties to the dispute, the probability of different situations regarding the prescription of provisional measures under Article 290 (5) of the Convention has been revealed. The jurisdictional peculiarities of the prescription of provisional measures by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on behalf of an arbitral tribunal not yet constituted under Annex VII or VIII of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, in particular the threshold for finding prima facie jurisdiction, are clarified. The conclusions of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and some ad hoc arbitral tribunals regarding the jurisdictional aspects of the prescription of provisional measures are pointed out.
International legal standards regarding the fight against doping in professional sports
Authors: Zaborovskyy V.V. , Manzyuk V.V.
Published: June 2023

The article discloses the theoretical and applied provisions on the actual issues of combating doping in  ofessional sports at the international and national levels, as well as a comparative analysis of combating doping by the World Anti-Doping Organization and the provisions of the national legislation of foreign countries, and offers a solution to effectively combating the use of doping in within the framework of domestic Ukrainian legislation.Among the many problems of modern professional sports, the problem of doping is gaining more and more relevance. It is extremely complex, as it includes closely interrelated medical, legal, political, moral, organizational, social and pedagogical aspects. The effectiveness of combating doping in sports largely depends on the system of its organization. However, it should be noted that the organizational foundations of the fight against doping were not seen by scientists. The main efforts of sports and medical science were aimed at studying the impact of doping on the body of a professional athlete, finding methods for its detection, biochemical components, as well as reducing the cost of doping control procedures and finding the simplest and most effective procedures. In this regard, the study of the organizational foundations of the fight against doping is relevant both from a theoretical and a practical point of view.Within the framework of this article, anti-doping legislation was investigated in order to determine a reasonable assessment of the existing system of combating doping in sports, identified the shortcomings and positive aspects of this system, its influence on the education of athletes, which allow to determine ways of increasing its effectiveness, forming an understanding of the role of combating doping in sports , the main trends of development and ways of increasing its effectiveness among athletes, trainers and specialists of the physical culture and sports movement.The relevance of the specified issue determines the need for its solution, as well as the application of research results in law enforcement practice and law-making activities.Based on the conducted research, the authors conclude that the humanistic mission of sports regarding anti-doping measures should be taken into account in the processes of combating doping. It is clear that the current fight against doping, which focuses on bans, is not working effectively. The new regulator of anti-doping measures must make decisions taking into account the specifics of each sport.
Gender balance in the board of directors
Authors: Sabovchyk A.
Published: June 2023

Globally, men occupy more board seats than women. In this article the author is dealing with the issue of legislative gender quotas, which seems to be the fastest way to achieve gender balance on the boards. Also, the “comply or explain” governance system, meaning an approach to equality when all people should be treated similarly, regardless of prejudices, preferences, or historical disadvantages, unless particular distinctions can be justified.Controversial questions of racial diversity among female directors are mentioned. The gender pay gap on corporate boards, concerning differences between pay received by men and women for comparable work. And it appears to be dependent on several factors, including whether the company is in a male dominated industry and whether the female director is married or has children.Gender diversity can play an important role in supporting innovative activity and organizational change. That’s why inclusion of female directors has a direct and positive impact on a company’s profits and risk management. Women board directors also broaden a company’s market knowledge as well as raise its profile.Researches have found that women need to hold at least three board seats to create a “critical mass,” which can lead to better financial performance. Studies suggest that enterprises need to reach a critical mass of women in top positions in order to reap the benefits of gender diversity, such as improved governance. Reaching this threshold allows a minority to exert their influence and ensure their voice is heard.Summarizing all the above, we can name the following main results of this study: There are more women on boards and more boards with women. More boards are reaching a 30 per cent critical mass of women. All-male boards are on the decline, but they still exist. The enterprise survey shows that gender balanced boards are more likely to have enhanced business outcomes compared to those with fewer women on their boards. In addition when there is gender balance on the board, the enterprise is more likely to have women in senior management and in top executive positions. Alternatives to quotas gaining popularity include “comply or explain” commitments, and rules of national stock exchange regulators. “Glass walls” are limiting women’s influence in boardrooms due to the lack of a critical mass, women’s absence from key committees, the low number of women appointed as board chairpersons, and women serving as non-executive board members.

This study details the results of a survey of firms that was conducted to establish a baseline for a further understanding of the value of the arboriculture/commercial urban forestry (ACUF) sector to the New England Economy, during February and March of 2022. The greatest percentage of responses came from Massachusetts firms (45 percent) followed by Connecticut (about 15 percent) and Maine (about 9 percent). Respondents from New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont represented 6-7 percent of the sample and firms from other states (and international firms) comprised 11 percent of the sample. The distribution of firms' business income earned in each state were consistent with the firm location distribution. Large firms dominated the distribution of 2021 gross income for ACUF firms in this sample with about 48 percent of the respondents reporting gross incomes greater than $500,000. There was also a relatively large number of small firms (about 10 percent) earning less than $25,000. The 2021 total gross income of the 119 firms in this sample was estimated to be over $252 million. Large firms earning over $1 million in gross income represent 91 percent of the total gross income for this sample. Just over 70 percent of firms' gross income was from private individuals, with about 18 percent from commercial sources. Only about 7 percent was from state and local government. Tree pruning and removal was the predominant activity (over 55 percent), followed by tree fertilization and tree health at about 17 percent. Other tree care activities represented less than 10 percent of gross income.

Background

Enhancing the bone healing procedure would resultantly improve the post-recovery life quality, as well as the speed with which the patient returns to their former life quality. Porous structures can provide a large surface area and abundant channels to facilitate mass transfer.

Objective

To evaluate the application of mesoporous materials in the bone healing of surgically created defects on the tibiae of male adult Wistar rats.

Methods

The defect areas were evaluated after implantation of 4 types of bioactive glass histopathologically and immunohistochemically. Fifty adult rats were divided into 5 groups including a control group without material. The used products were mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), Cu-MBG, Zn-MBG, and Cu–Zn-MBG. Unicortical bone defects with a 3 mm diameter were performed in both tibiae of the animals and filled with 4 types of glass particles. The rats were then euthanized at 15 d and 30 d. Tibial samples were collected and the tissues forwarded for histological processing, and examined using light microscopy. Additionally, bone healing was evaluated by assessing the levels of bone morphogenetic protein BMP2, collagen 1, osteocalcin (OST), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) using immunohistochemical methods.

Results

Within the 15th day, all groups presented connective tissue septa; at the 30th day, the new bone formation was more intense in the Cu–Zn-MBG group. Additionally, BMP2, collagen 1, OST, and VEGF immune expression were more prominent in the Cu–Zn-MBG group.

Conclusions

The study results indicated that MBG may be used for the repairing of bone defects. Cu–Zn-MBG may be the best choice for this purpose.
