Authors: Mohamed Salah Abugabal Wafaa Ibrahim , Shabaan Sanaa Youssef , Showman Ahmed , Youssef Azza Mohammed , El-Gendy Yasmin Gamal
Published: September 2024

Background: The majority of children globally, over 75%, do not meet the water intake recommendations set by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). More than 80% of children in Europe drink less water than the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guidelines suggest. Hydration has been linked to cognitive performance in school-aged children living in hot climates, affecting visual attention, memory span, semantic flexibility, and arithmetic skills. This study aimed to assess the hydration status of Egyptian primary school children and its relation to cognitive function.
Results: The study included 200 children aged 9-13 years from various schools in Cairo. A questionnaire and a "fluids and liquid food" diary were used to collect data on beverage consumption. Hydration status was determined using a self-reported urine color scale. Only 54 children (27%) had adequate knowledge of proper water intake, while 146 children (73%) did not. According to EFSA guidelines, 166 children (83%) reported low water intake, and 34 children (17%) had adequate intake. Dehydration was found in 118 children (59%), with 34 children (17%) severely dehydrated. There was a significant positive correlation between total fluid intake and cognitive functions, including visual attention, memory, search, and visuomotor performance (p<0.001). International school students had higher water intake during school hours and overall daily intake than students from local public schools. The most consumed fluids after water were sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juices.
Conclusions: The study highlights a significant gap in knowledge and practice regarding adequate water intake among Egyptian primary school children. A considerable number of children (83%) consumed inadequate daily fluid intake, with only 17% meeting EFSA guidelines. A significant negative correlation between total fluid intake and urine color indicates hydration status. The positive correlation between hydration and cognitive function underscores the importance of promoting proper hydration to enhance cognitive performance. Educational interventions are needed to improve water intake habits among children.
The Process of Reconstruction and the Contextual Functions of Biblical Inserts in the Old Romanian Texts
Authors:   Institutul de Filologie Română „Alexandru Philippide”, Academia Română, Filiala Iași, România, Nastasia Mariana
Published: September 2024

The process of reconstruction illustrates how Holy Writ is received in the literature and can be defined as a technique of using the biblical inserts according to the original meaning of the biblical context, which through interpretation and processing is enriched with new senses to convey a particular message to the receiver. Therefore, the Bible offers the possibility for the psalm to become a secular species, the myth of the first biblical fratricide can be exploited by the literature of different spaces and eras, and the biblical parable becomes the main instrument for spreading Christian teaching. The use of biblical inserts and their expressive effects, as well as the discursive functions they perform, contribute to the process. Both the cultural general functions of the Bible (authoritative, normative, evidential, and confirmatory, illustrative) and the contextually discursive functions of the biblical inserts (hermeneutic, illustrative, argumentative, didactic, moralizing, doxological, and ornamental function) are closely related to this process and reflect the stylistic effects of biblical elements in literature.
In the old Romanian texts, the functions of the biblical inserts coexist and intertwine, so that the reconstruction is carried out in different forms even in texts by the same author or by different authors. Even if the biblical sequences underlying the reconstruction are the same, the ways in which these sequences are processed and enriched with new meanings differ according to the author’s purpose. Through reconstruction, the biblical elements do not lose their original meaning.
Alina Diaconu, a Personality of the Romanian Exile in Argentina
Authors:   Universitatea „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” din Iaşi, România, Ilie Emanuela
Published: September 2024

If in the Latin American cultural environment Alina Diaconu is recognised as a well-known and multi-awarded literary personality, the writer of Romanian origin, settled in Argentina since 1959 (when she was only 14 years old), is almost unknown in her country of origin. Although she wrote numerous novels and several volumes of poems, essays, publicist texts, interviews and even stories for children, she did not come to the attention of our literary criticism. The situation remained unchanged even after the translation into Romanian of some of her books. Except for Florea Firan (Firan 2023), even researchers of the Romanian literary exile did not pay too much attention to Alina Diaconu's creation. Therefore, the present article has a recuperative role and a precise ethno-identity stake, because from my point of view Alina Diaconu's work deserves to be (re)discovered and properly valorised.
Particularly the novel El penúltimo viaje [‘The Penultimate Journey’] (1989), that I analyse in the second part of the paper, can significantly widen the referential arch of the meta-exilic vector, setting a more than meritorious landmark on the map of the Romanian exile in Latin America. This ingenious mixture of dark family novel, poem of announced extinction, totalitarian dystopia and parable of uprooting and interior exile, is an excellent transnational identity card of an Argentinian prose writer of Romanian origin.
Cognition, Language, and Ideology. Conflicting Cognitive Models of Pregnancy, Birth and Maternity during Romania’s Communist Era (I)
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, Romania, Tucan Gabriela , Tucan Dumitru ,   West University of Timișoara, Romania
Published: September 2024

One of the first political decisions of the Ceaușescu regime, with significant implications for the private lives of citizens in communist Romania, was the prohibition of abortion through Decree 770/1966. This act marked the beginning of an aggressively enforced pronatalist policy, facilitated by the repressive apparatus of the dictatorship, resulting in tragic consequences, especially for women in Romania – illegal abortions, loss of lives, orphaned children, and more. The imposition of this pronatalist policy relied on highly ideologized rhetoric, underpinned by a patriarchal Idealized Cognitive Model (ICM), redefined through conceptual metaphors with a “socialist” twist, adapted to the new political context. This official Idealized Cognitive Model became incompatible with the real experiences of Romania's citizens regarding pregnancy, birth, and maternity.
This two-part article describes and analyzes, based on the theory of Idealized Cognitive Models, the conflicting tension within the discourse on maternity during Ceaușescu's dictatorship. It explores the conflict between the officially sanctioned cognitive model of maternity, ideologically embraced by the regime (evident in its official rhetoric), and the personal experiences of women, revealing emotional pain, physical anguish, and trauma (visible in the corpus of oral testimonies, interviews, and narratives). In the examined corpus, which includes private and official narratives, as well as press releases regarding Romanian legislation on population growth, we seek to reveal the conventional schematization of concepts related to birth, pregnancy, and maternity, iconographically fixed by several conceptual metaphors emphasizing the “glory” of bearing and raising as many children as possible. The article intends to highlight an elevated political and ideological specificity attached to these metaphors. One of the primary objectives is to establish a methodology for the comprehension of the conceptual operations of harmful political policies with substantial ideological dimensions.
Enhanced Somatic Embryogenesis and Viable Synthetic Seeds in Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora Pannell: A Conservation Milestone
Authors: Bantawa Pranay , Rai Ritu , Mondal Tapan Kumar
Published: September 2024

A novel protocol for somatic embryogenesis has been established using callus derived from various explants of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, which is highly valued and endangered due to its medicinal significance and is indigenous to the Eastern Himalayas. A wide range of callusing (8.11-100%) from different explants were noticed in WPM supplemented with either 2, 4-D or NAA alone (0.1-2.0 mg/l). The incorporation of Kn and BAP, at various concentrations alongside different levels of NAA did not enhance callus formation. Out of which, only the friable callus upon transfer to WPM medium with cytokinins such as Kn or BAP (0.1–2.0 mg/l), could produce embryogenic callus which later by supplementation with ABA (0.1-1.0 mg/l) for 2 weeks, produced 92% matured somatic embryos. Furthermore, in a medium containing WPM with Kn (0.5 mg/l) and GA3 (0.5 mg/l), around 73% of the well matured somatic embryos of this species were germinated. However, leaf derived friable callus were, invariably, found to be superior in all aspects when compare with other explants. The encapsulated somatic embryos when stored at 4°C showed as high as 100% of germination when kept up to 15 days, which however, gradually decreased as the storage time increased and thus as high as 20% viability were recorded when kept for 105 days. Afterwards, plantlets derived from somatic embryos were successfully acclimatized and transplanted to the field. Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis indicated the genetic uniformity of the donor plants, somatic embryo derived plantlets and the synthetic seed derived plantlets. This was the first report of somatic embryogenesis of this medicinally important genus.
Deliberación en democracias digitales: ¿es factible el ideal de una ciudadanía competente?
Authors: Marciel Pariente Rubén
Published: September 2024

En este trabajo defiendo que el ideal de una ciudadanía competente es viable incluso en los contextos adversos que ofrecen las sociedades digitales. Para ello, identifico cinco problemas que obstaculizan a la ciudadanía la adquisición de competencia política: el pluralismo, el problema del moderador, la dificultad para acceder a información relevante, la apatía política y los sesgos políticos. Aunque estos problemas se agudizan en las democracias digitales, muestro que existen mecanismos institucionales que permiten corregir y mitigar sus efectos perjudiciales sobre la competencia política. Por ello, concluyo, el ideal de ciudadanía competente es prima facie factible y podría lograrse mediante la implementación de medidas institucionales que fomenten la adquisición de competencia política por parte de la ciudadanía.
¿Es la inteligencia artificial doxástica un igual epistémico?
Authors: Murcia Carbonell Alberto
Published: September 2024

La inteligencia artificial doxástica (IAD) es un tipo de inteligencia artificial que reproduce actitudes doxásticas. Si la IAD cumple con las condiciones de paridad epistémica que se le exige a un humano, ¿podría ser también un igual epistémico? Dos iguales epistémicos sostienen propiedades cognitivas simétricas como la inteligencia, el razonamiento o la ausencia de sesgos. Para evaluar si alguien es un igual se tendrán en cuenta estas condiciones: (1) la igualdad probatoria, (2) la igualdad cognitiva y (3) revelación completa. La IAD cumple tanto (1) como (2), pero es en (3) cuando se descubre que no puede ser un igual epistémico. Ésta responde con la opinión popular más aceptada estadísticamente, es incapaz de sostener y defender sus propias afirmaciones y éstas no son un genuino acto de habla. Es una máquina doxástica incapaz de señalar cuáles son las razones que guían su respuesta.

Features of the Legal Status of a Video Game as an Object of Intellectual Property Rights: Comparative Legal Research
Authors: Khlapotin Vladislav
Published: September 2024

Currently, one of the most dynamically developing areas of the creative economy is the video game industry. The increase in turnover and popularity of this industry necessitates its detailed legal research. There are a number of objective problems that arise in determining the relevant legal regime for video games and in the field of legal protection and management. Taken together, these problems demonstrate the relevance of the research, which is aimed at substantiating at the theoretical level the place of video games in the existing system of intellectual property objects, and practice-oriented generalization, analysis and systematization of the current law enforcement practice in this area. Research objectives: to study the determinants of the complexity of developing a universal concept of “video games” as an object of intellectual property rights; to identify the range of potential subjects of intellectual property rights to video games; to form criteria for the protectability of the constituent elements of a video game; to consider the features of judicial protection of intellectual property rights to video games in domestic and foreign law. Conclusion: in the research and scientific literature, it is more correct to use the term “video game”. The application of the norms of domestic legislation on programs to relations regarding the development, protection and management of video games is currently not relevant. The subjects of copyright for individual elements included in the video game are the persons who directly created these elements. On the basis of the provisions considered and the examples given from domestic and foreign doctrine and practice, it follows that each of the audiovisual elements of a video game can receive protection if it meets the necessary criteria for protection. The use of civil law methods to protect intellectual property rights to a video game may vary depending on the strategy chosen by the copyright holder. Under the current conditions, for many video game developers in Russia, it would be optimal to use the trade secret regime or protect their developments as a production secret (know-how).

Constitutional and Legal Bases of Inter-Level Interaction of Local Public Authorities in the Republic of Uzbekistan
Authors: Daumenov Berdakh
Published: September 2024

Using the example of legal regulation and law enforcement practice of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the article examines the problems of optimizing and achieving a balance of inter—level interaction of public authorities, the result of which should be, on the one hand, ensuring the execution of acts of higher authorities by lower authorities, and on the other hand, preventing unjustified and inappropriate vertical interference in the activities of lower authorities. The purpose of the study is to develop conceptual approaches to achieve a vertical balance of interests of the levels of government to ensure maximum disclosure of the managerial potential of each level of government in solving national tasks. Research objectives: analysis of theoretical, legal and law enforcement aspects of the features of vertical relations between levels of government built in Uzbekistan, identification of relevant problems and development of recommendations for their solution. Research methods: formal-legal, comparative-legal, functional, logical, system-structural methods. Results and brief conclusions. The system of relations between the levels of government should be built on the basis of the concept of autonomy of the status of each government level, which implies, in the institutional aspect, the establishment for each of them of the possibility of forming their own governing authorities, and in the functional aspect — the possession of their own exclusive powers, in which higher authorities have no right to interfere. The rights of subordinate authorities should not be protected administratively by repealing the acts of subordinate authorities by higher authorities, but by judicial mechanisms. At the same time, higher authorities should have the necessary and sufficient powers to retain lower authorities within the framework of national interests and in the legal field. Thus, each level of government will be autonomous within its exclusive powers, while being under the strict and close supervision of higher authorities. Such a construction of power relations will allow maximizing the creative managerial potential of each level of power.
Comparative Methodology for the Formation of Legal Models
Authors: Egorov Aleksey V.
Published: September 2024

Legal modeling is an important area of modern scientific research. The potential of activities for the formation and introduction of legal models into the national environment may be improved when the methods of comparative law are used extensively. The external reserves for the reformation and modification of modern legal systems are searched for with the help of comparative legal tools including legal reception. The purpose of the study is to determine the main comparative approaches in the implementation of legal modeling. For this purpose, the main methodological rules for using comparative law for the formation and adaptation to new social conditions of legal models based on the study of foreign legal experience are considered. The main method of research is a comparative analysis of the components of legal reality emerging and functioning in different social conditions. The results of study. It is necessary to distinguish between the comparative knowledge of foreign legal matter studied by comparative (descriptive) law and the theory of legal comparative studies itself (general theory of law) that is a meta-theory of modern legal science aimed at ensuring macro-level interaction of national legal systems. The basic for modeling and reception of legal objects of foreign origin is the legal family doctrine structured in the «trichotomy» of Romano-Germanic, Anglo-Saxon and religious-communal law. The theoretical and methodological components of this formal legal unity of legal systems are the main legal markers. There are the sources and system of law, the characteristics of the legal norm and the legal concepts. The methodology of legal comparative studies used at the subject, object and instrumental levels of legal modeling are consistently described in the article.
Constitutional Axiology of Freedom of Labor
Authors: Sagandykov Mikhail
Published: September 2024

The axiological study of freedom of labor is aimed at identifying the essence and meaning of the relevant constitutional provisions, as well as their place in the system of constitutional and legal prescriptions. Freedom of labor does not have a clear expression in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and therefore it is understood in science and law enforcement practice as a principle, as a human right and as a natural good. At the same time, the value content of freedom of labor in constitutional-legal science and in the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is not defined. The purpose of the study is to determine the normative and semantic content of the constitutional value of freedom of labor. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve a number of tasks: to define the concept of constitutional values; to correlate the concept of the constitutional value of freedom of labor with various constitutional and legal forms; to identify the content of the constitutional value of freedom of labor, based on the analysis of various constitutional provisions and materials of the practice of the Russian Constitutional Court. Methods: general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, system approach; special-legal methods: axiological, formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical-legal. Research results and conclusions: the freedom of labor in the constitutional-value dimension is a complex, multidimensional concept represented in the text of the Constitution of the Russian Federation by a number of normative prescriptions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation endows freedom of labor with the quality of constitutional value, but situationally gives it different content depending on the practical context. The fundamental content of the constitutional value of freedom of labor is that it is an element of the social state, and therefore it is associated not only with individual freedom, but also with social solidarity and justice. As such, freedom of labor is associated not so much with the state-recognized possibility of a citizen to work or not to work, but with the ability to choose a type of activity and profession taking into account internal needs, in the absence of any forms of coercion and on the basis of compliance with the requirements of decent work guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation and current legislation.
Ensuring Data Quality in Automated Decision-Making in Public Administration
Authors: Nazarov Nikita
Published: September 2024

Russian public administration is characterized by a tendency to expand the use of automated decision-making systems that provide partial or complete automation of the procedure for making law enforcement decisions by executive authorities. The application and use of such systems is carried out in the absence of a holistic regulation that ensures the legality, transparency and validity of automated solutions and establishes additional legal guarantees for citizens and organizations. Objectives and purposes of the study: to define a system of legal requirements that contribute to ensuring data quality in automated decision-making in public administration. Research methods: general and special methods, including the dialectical method of scientific cognition, system-structural, formal legal, comparative legal methods, methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization. Conclusions: one of the central elements of the legal regime for the functioning of automated decision-making systems in public administration should be the legislative establishment of data quality requirements, which are proposed to be understood as a set of requirements for the properties of data (datasets) and requirements for procedures for their processing and use. A system of data quality requirements and the specifics of its application in various fields of activity of executive authorities, including the requirements, is proposed: 1) reliability (accuracy, completeness and relevance) and consistency of data; 2) non-discrimination (representativeness) of data; 3) verifiability of data; 4) confidentiality of data; 5) adequacy and targeted limitations of data collection; 6) openness of data sets within the limits that do not violate confidentiality.

Published: September 2024

The research aims to answer questions that our reality imposes its urgent presence, namely: Can philosophy be a fulcrum in which cultures meet? English: The research aims to answer the questions that our reality imposes, namely: can philosophy be a fulcrum where cultures meet? Can the relational genius of the Philosophical Investigations not make the question of knowledge subordinate to the question of values? That is, should philosophical knowledge establish a human value that man has come to need most at this historical moment, which is the value of coexistence? Since the spread of philosophical thought from the Greek era to the present day, philosophy proves that what the history of philosophy offers from schools, currents, and doctrines is only evidence of the diversity and multiplicity of philosophical approaches, and even their differences and contradictions. It is serving a higher purpose in the recognition of the status of man as a thinking and active being and as a Cultural bet on the one hand and a tool for the advancement of cultures and peoples on the other. One of the most important results of the research is to deepen the role of contemporary philosophical thinking in the need for the philosophical attitude to remain always subject to the question of existence and the need for all other cognitive and value questions to remain hostage to this question of existence. In addition, that the philosophy today needs to get closer to the real living person who lives his day and dreams of tomorrow. It is connected to his community to build bridges of communication, proximity, and education that promote understanding, dialogue, and coexistence. On the other hand, the role of philosophy in science has influenced its practical side, which is manifested in various philosophical systems, such as the ethical, educational, and aesthetic systems. The research confirms that these practical systems that enable human action in everyday life have a great ability to make the practical field of philosophy and its applications in human life and its contribution to solving problems with the culturally different, its connection to thought, to everyday life, and to coexistence.

This study explores the integration of local wisdom into the criminal justice system in Papua, focusing on the handling of criminal actions in Wamena, Jayawijaya District. Papua's unique cultural context necessitates a nuanced approach to law enforcement, where traditional practices coexist with formal legal mechanisms. The research investigates how traditional fines, a form of customary penalty, are applied in conjunction with or as an alternative to state-imposed sanctions. The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing interviews, field observations, and analysis of legal documents to examine the procedural and cultural dynamics involved in these cases. It highlights the role of local wisdom in shaping legal outcomes and the impact of traditional practices on community perceptions of justice. Findings indicate that traditional fines, while sometimes seen as less formal or less effective than state penalties, play a crucial role in maintaining social harmony and resolving conflicts within the community. The research reveals that integrating these practices with formal legal procedures can enhance the effectiveness of the criminal justice system by ensuring that sanctions are culturally relevant and accepted by local populations. The study concludes that acknowledging and incorporating local wisdom into criminal law enforcement in Papua can lead to more culturally sensitive and effective justice practices. Recommendations include fostering greater collaboration between traditional leaders and formal legal institutions to create a more cohesive and culturally attuned legal framework.

Authors: Kusuma A. Fadillah Putra
Published: September 2024

Inflation and unemployment are major economic challenges in Indonesia that are often influenced by sub-optimal economic growth. This study aims to examine the causality relationship between inflation and unemployment with a focus on Lampung Province. The methodology used is descriptive and quantitative, with secondary data analysis from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) for the period 1990-2023. The Granger causality test results show a one-way relationship, where inflation affects unemployment, with a Prob probability value of 0.02787 which is less than 0.05. This finding suggests the existence of a long-run causality relationship between inflation and unemployment, which is reinforced by the cointegration test results, where the probability values for both variables are also below 0.05. This study provides an in-depth insight into the interaction between inflation and unemployment and its implications for regional economic policy, which can help in formulating strategies to overcome economic problems in Lampung Province.

This study analyzes the tourism industry and the implementation of Regional Regulation (PERDA) No. 3 of 2017 concerning Disability Groups in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and documentation, with primary data from interviews and secondary data from written references. The data includes qualitative information about obstacles in the implementation of PERDA and quantitative data on tourism statistics. The purposive sampling technique is used to select informants from various clusters, including the government and the hospitality industry. Data validation is carried out through triangulation of sources and techniques, while data analysis follows the Miles & Huberman method, which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results show that the West Manggarai local government has launched an awareness program to highlight the importance of employing workers from disability groups. These programs involve mass media, seminars, and workshops, as well as education and training for employers on hiring and supporting workers with disabilities. The implementation of PERDA No. 3 of 2017 concerning Disability Groups includes the development of disability-friendly job portals and internship programs. However, challenges remain, including infrastructure limitations, social stigma, and a lack of experts and training. Although one hotel employs workers with disabilities through an internship program, there are still many obstacles that need to be overcome to achieve optimal inclusion of workers with disabilities in the hospitality industry. Collaborative efforts from the government, the hospitality industry, and the wider community are needed to address these challenges.
