Infestation and evaluation of damage of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) on Citrus in Southern Tunisia
Authors: Ghabbari Mabrouka , Mediouni Ben Jemâa Jouda
Published: April 2024

The damages caused by the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) were assessed on citrus host fruits namely: Thomson (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck),  clementine (Citrus clementica Hort. ex Tan.), mandarin (Citrus delisiosa L.), bitter orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Eureka) in two regions in southern Tunisia (Gabes and Tozeur) during 2013-14 - 2015-16. Damage were evaluated by the determination of percentages of fruit infestation (Percentage of punctured fruits) and of fallen fruits. Results showed that C. capitata damage varied upon citrus species and sites. The infestation rates were 42. 02, 39.83, 32.5, and 3.44% in Tozeur, against 39.86, 37.18, 30.57, and 3.38% in Gabes, respectively for Thomson, clementine, mandarin, and lemon. Besides, the highest percentages of dropped fruit were obtained for Thomson navel variety (9.02 and 7.84% in Tozeur and Gabes, respectively) against the lowest percentage recorded for the lemon Eureka variety (2.89 and 2.77% in Tozeur and Gabes respectively). In addition, the highest mean number of punctures/fruit was observed for Thomson navel variety in both regions with mean values of 3.17 and 3.38 %, respectively for Gabes and Tozeur.
Results highlighted the severity of C. capitata damages in southern Tunisia and the urgency to develop appropriate control strategies in the oasis fragile ecosystem.

Forum 11 is the fourth volume of the current Editorial Committee. In addition to the seven peer-reviewed regular articles, we were able to include four keynote lectures from the 21st IAGP Congress, which was held in Pescara, Italy, as a hybrid with the online version. We hope they will serve as a reminder of the enthusiasm and our passion of Pescara. However, "Child Protection System Strengthening" by Denise Ulwor is not included because no record was found. This is a great pity, as the lecture was very well received
Psychodrama in the time of Coronavirus
Authors: Regianini Daniele , Botti Diana
Published: April 2024

Our country, Italy, was the first country outside Asia to be hit by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. As the virus increased in intensity and spread with increasing rapidity, the Italian government was forced to adopting a massive series of health measures, which strongly conditioned social interactions. For three months, normal group psychodrama sessions (other things) were banned. In order to keep existing groups alive and, therefore, make the most of the beneficial effects of interaction between members, modern digital communication technologies were widely used. These means of communication allowed us to maintain relationships, albeit without direct contact or a physical presence. By looking at a series of activities planned for one session (the fourth online session), this article endeavours to highlight how this particular kind of interaction can also promote interpersonal and intrapsychic dynamics according to the Morenian model.
Psychotherapy from 1.0 to 5.0. transformations
Authors: Grillo Raúl Vaimberg
Published: April 2024

The past thirty years have seen a great evolution in technological and communication therapy modalities. This evolution has gone through various stages (from psychotherapies 1.0 to 5.0) which we will describe alongside several significant theoretical and technical changes. These changes enrich the resources that are available while presenting us with new challenges in group psychotherapies. We are able to imagine the future of online group psychotherapies 4.0 and 5.0 respectively. We will analyse four main features of the frameworks, theories and techniques of online interventions and psychotherapies: Interactivity, synchronicity, multimodality and hybridization (person-machine). Also, their previous implementations, psychotherapies (2.0.), and current (3.0), short-term (4.0) and long-term (5.0). Digitalization is a new process that requires adaptations of our practice in the field of mental health so that we are able to meet today’s growing needs and, looking forward to the exceptional requirements stemming from the pandemic. Future transformations in mental health interventions, in the treatment of individuals, groups, children and adolescents and in the training processes in the field of group psychotherapy, form one of the most important challenges of this century.
This is me! Becoming the best of be: A case study
Authors: Raimundo Carlos A , Raimundo Melanie
Published: April 2024

Since the beginning of humanity, questions about our identity, purpose, and origins have been at the forefront of our existential concerns. This case study article aims to approximate practical answers to these questions. Drawing upon the Morenian theoretical perspective that posits that our identities are shaped by the roles we play, arguing that becoming aware of those roles can enable us to make informed decisions about how we think, feel, and act. By noticing and paying attention to our roles, we can pause and reflect on our behaviour, recalibrate our actions and emotions, and strive towards becoming the person we aspire to be. The Play of Life technique, which utilises 3D physical or digital figures to access subcortical and non-verbal areas of the brain, can be particularly effective in this regard. By bypassing rational constructs, this technique can reveal new insights about ourselves that would otherwise be obscured. Rather than simply asking for more information, the Play of Life practitioner asks the participant to "show me" using these 3D images, which can serve as a reflection of themselves. The Play of Life app is readily available for free at www.app.Playoflife.com.

Designing an accessible and equitable conference and the evaluation of the barriers to research inclusion for rare disease communities
Authors: Mitchell Andrew E. P. , Butterworth Sondra
Published: April 2024

Introduction: the United Kingdom Rare Diseases Framework, published in 2021, addresses the lack of diversity in rare disease research, particularly in clinical trials, due to intersecting issues related to rare disease symptoms and health inequalities. The framework outlines the government's commitment to improving the lives of the 3,5 million people living with rare conditions in the United Kingdom.Objective: the primary objective is to advance equality, diversity, and inclusion in research by developing innovative methods to engage with communities, establish trust, and enhance the participation and voices of underrepresented and underserved communities.Methods: the conference was held in May 2023, bringing together voices with lived experiences from rare and diverse communities to meet and discuss with established researchers, policy influencers and advocates. The evaluation design was developed using the Program Logic Model and utilised a conference evaluation form on barriers to inclusion.Results: the Rare Disease Community identifies disability as the primary obstacle to inclusion. Social Care and Public Health Communities and Clinical Research Communities identified a need for more cultural competency. The Diverse Community selected psychosocial issues, and the Academic Community identified funding as the most significant barrier.Conclusions: the Community of Practice workshops showed the variety of lived experiences and potential barriers people confront for inclusion in research. Listening to individual viewpoints was crucial to creating or repairing community trust. The Academic Community felt that research funders and ethics review boards must adapt their institutional practices to include financial resources for outreach and participation in research design
Immigration and work, considerations about the challenges in Brazil: bibliographic review of the literature
Authors: David Jean Bart , Thélusma Marie Florence
Published: April 2024

Introduction: migratory flows towards countries that have more labor supply are not recent. In this sense, the arrival of immigrants in host countries, in many cases, makes this population more susceptible to health risk situations because of work activities, lack of integration with the local population and the immigration process itself.Methods: the study used a bibliographic review of the literature as a method. In this context, integration policies and the recognition of educational training in the country of origin can contribute to improving the living conditions of this population in Brazil. Results: in this context, this study aims to provide a summary of the challenges faced by immigrants in search of improved living conditions. Furthermore, this study contributes to identifying the main challenges facing immigrants recently arrived in Brazil and the difficult process of integration into local society. It is observed that the authors highlight in common that, worldwide, in the different receiving countries, regardless of the social, political, and economic context in which the immigrants find themselves, there is some destructive process that conditions the health-disease process of this population, resulting from the various factors mentioned above.Conclusion: yet the positive contribution of migration to development is increasingly recognized, and these targeted policies will maximize their benefits in both countries of origin and destination

The objective of this research was to determine the specific difficulties that hospitalized students face in accessing inclusive education in hospital classrooms. The technique used is a documentary review; searches were conducted on Google Scholar, Dialnet, and Redalyc using keywords, and 18 documents were selected for thematic analysis. Four dimensions were identified that articulate the complexities of providing inclusive education in hospital classrooms; these are: Educational Barriers, Social and Emotional Aspects, Pedagogical Practices, and Interdisciplinary Collaboration; each contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the obstacles and opportunities to improve the education of hospitalized students, highlighting both the specific difficulties and the effective strategies in use to facilitate an adaptive and comprehensive educational environment. It is concluded that hospital classrooms are redefined as a wellness ecosystem, integrating education and health to fully support the student, proposing to transform education into an essential component of recovery and well-being, using therapeutic methodologies and continuous support networks to adapt learning to the medical and emotional needs of the hospitalized student

Hispanic-American Scholasticism: counter side of Mercantilism
Authors: Haberfeld Leandro
Published: April 2024

In parallel with the development of Mercantilism during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, there appeared in Salamanca and Hispanic America a school of thought formed by Catholic priests who sought to understand how the Thomistic principles of just price and commutative justice applied to in an economy characterized by trade at an international scale. Two early contributions to economic theory appear: the autonomy of economics with respect to authority and a perspective of a country's prosperity based on the well-being of its inhabitants seen as consumers. This “alternative discourse" is recovered in the twentieth century as an anticipation of the principles of Marginalism.
¿Por qué crece el gasto público? La Ley de Wagner en el caso argentino
Authors: Carro Juan
Published: April 2024

¿Por qué crece el gasto público? La Ley de Wagner asume que el incremento del tamaño del gasto público es una consecuencia lógica del crecimiento económico. ¿Se cumple la Ley de Wagner para el caso argentino? Con el objetivo de responder esta pregunta, se analiza la evolución del gasto público entre 1983 y 2018 y se plantea un modelo de corrección de errores (VEC). A partir de dicha metodología se concluye que el incremento del PBI tuvo un efecto expansivo sobre el tamaño del gasto público, convalidándose entonces la pertinencia de la Ley de Wagner para el período bajo análisis.

Cuánto necesita crecer y exportar Argentina para ser como Australia sin crisis de balanza de pagos
Authors: Coremberg Ariel
Published: April 2024

Una de las características singulares de la trayectoria decepcionante del crecimiento de la economía argentina ha sido sus frecuentes crisis de balanza de pagos. La capacidad de exportación resulta clave para lograr un crecimiento vigoroso con sostenibilidad externa.
Dado el fracaso económico argentino, la comparación con Australia resulta emblemática dadas sus características comunes de “asentamiento reciente”, clima templado, relativa abundancia de tierra y escasez de mano de obra e inmigración europea.
A pesar del notable deseo de alcanzar el status de desarrollo de Australia por parte de la sociedad argentina, la literatura económica no ha cuantificado cual debería ser el crecimiento requerido a futuro para igualar el nivel de vida de Australia en conjunto con el crecimiento del volumen de exportaciones necesario para evitar las típicas crisis argentinas de “stop and go”.
El paper demuestra que, si Argentina se plantea crecer como Australia a largo plazo sin crisis de balance de pagos, debería duplicar el crecimiento de su PBI per cápita respecto de su tendencia histórica, así como cuadruplicar el dinamismo del volumen de exportaciones respecto del último periodo de crecimiento del auge de commodities.
Ello no resulta imposible, si se toma en cuenta que una cifra similar se alcanzó durante el ciclo de crecimiento de la década de 1990, aun sin aporte del efecto precio.
Los diversos escenarios de elasticidad de importaciones aún más exigentes, así como converger al nivel de vida de Australia en una generación, implican la necesidad de multiplicar aún más el dinamismo del crecimiento y del volumen de exportaciones.
Sin esperar que los vientos de cola de la soja o la magia de vaca muerta nos salve, una estrategia de desarrollo debe contemplar que el esfuerzo exportador deberá provenir necesariamente de las cantidades: productividad, inversión, conocimiento y capital humano son los factores productivos que permiten incrementar la competitividad de sus exportaciones así como una estrategia de inserción internacional que contemple socios comerciales, y aproveche las cambiantes oportunidades del comercio internacional.

Advances and setbacks in the labour formalization process in Latin America during the new millennium
Authors: Maurizio Roxana , Monsalvo Ana Paula , Catania Sol , Martínez Silvana
Published: April 2024

Durante la década de los 2000 se ha observado una tendencia creciente en la formalidad laboral en varios países de América Latina. Sin embargo, luego de una importante reducción de la informalidad, este proceso se desaceleró, se detuvo o se revirtió en los últimos años, según el país. Este artículo presenta un análisis comparativo del proceso de formalización laboral durante el nuevo milenio en seis países de América Latina, Argentina, Brasil, Ecuador, México, Paraguay y Perú. En particular, este estudio evalúa la intensidad de la rotación ocupacional entre los trabajadores asalariados urbanos, enfocándose en los flujos de entrada a un puesto formal, y examina si este proceso incluyó a todos los grupos de trabajadores o si algunos se beneficiaron particularmente de esta dinámica. Los resultados brindan una guía útil sobre el diseño de políticas públicas destinadas a reducir la informalidad y mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores y sus familias en América Latina.
Tipo de Cambio Real y Paridad de Poder Adquisitivo: Una aproximación no lineal
Authors: Cuattromo Juan
Published: April 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar un modelo autorregresivo de transición suave (STAR, por su sigla en inglés) para su aplicación a la serie del Tipo de Cambio Real (TCR) bilateral con Estados Unidos. Encontramos que la metodología propuesta sugiere que la serie del TCR debería modelarse como un proceso estacionario no lineal con una función de transición asimétrica (vgr. logística). Sin embargo, al constatar la robustez de estos resultados encontramos que la presencia de valores extremos (vgr. outliers) y problemas de baja potencia sugieren tomar estas conclusiones con cierta precaución.
Mercado de trabajo y desigualdad en Argentina y Chile
Authors: Di Lalla Anahí , Leone Julián
Published: April 2024

Durante los 2000, la caída en la desigualdad se convirtió en un hecho estilizado para toda la región de América Latina, motorizada por la suba en el precio de sus commodities exportables y las políticas públicas dirigidas al mercado laboral. Sin embargo, este fenómeno se observó con mayor intensidad en Argentina que en Chile. Mediante la aplicación de regresión por cuantiles condicionados y no condicionados, se estiman los efectos específicos del vector de atributos relevantes sobre distintos segmentos de la distribución condicional y no condicional de ingresos. Mientras para la Argentina, el rol de la formalización laboral tuvo un impacto significativo en la cola más baja de la distribución, este efecto se debilita en el país trasandino. Por su parte, la caída en los retornos a la educación en Argentina explicó en buena parte el tránsito hacia una mayor igualdad en los ingresos laborales. En cambio, la mayor instrucción en Chile contribuyó a una mayor desigualdad, con retornos muy dispares aun controlando por la dotación educativa, hecho que se amplifica en la parte alta de la distribución.

Published: April 2024

Foreign exchange rates have a crucial role in a country's economic development, influencing long-term investment decisions. This research aims to forecast the exchange rate of Rupiah to the United States Dollar (USD) by using deep learning models of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture, especially Bi-Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Bi-Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU). Historical daily exchange rate data from January 1, 2013 to November 3, 2023, obtained from Yahoo Finance, was used as the dataset. The model training and evaluation process was performed based on various parameters such as optimizer, batch size, and time step. The best model was identified by minimizing the Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Among the models tested, the GRU model with Nadam optimizer, batch size 16, and timestep 30 showed the best performance, with MSE 3741.6999, RMSE 61.1694, MAE 45.6246, and MAPE 0.3054%. The forecast results indicate a strengthening trend of the Rupiah exchange rate against the USD in the next 30 days, which has the potential to be taken into consideration in making investment decisions and shows promising economic growth prospects for Indonesia.

An abnormal or excessive build-up of fat that can negatively impact one's health as a result of an imbalance in energy between calories consumed and burnt is known as obesity. The majority of ailments, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoarthritis, chronic renal disease, stroke, hypertension, and other fatal conditions, are linked to obesity. Information technology has therefore been the subject of several studies aimed at diagnosing and treating obesity. Because there is a wealth of information on obesity, data mining techniques such as the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm, Naïve Bayes Classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Decision Tree can be used to classify the data. The 2111 records and 17 characteristics of obesity data that were received from Kaggle will be used in this study. The four algorithms are to be compared in this study. In other words, using the dataset used in this study, the Decision Tree algorithm's accuracy outperforms that of the other three algorithms K-NN, Naïve Bayes, and SVM. Using the Decision Tree algorithm, the accuracy was 84.98%; the K-NN algorithm came in second with an accuracy value of 83.55%; the Naïve Bayes algorithm came in third with an accuracy rate of 77.48%; and the SVM algorithm came in last with the lowest accuracy value in this study, at 77.32%.
THE REFERENCE GAREVKA GRANITE (YENISEI RIDGE, WESTERN MARGIN OF THE SIBERIAN CRATON): THE FINAL ATTEMPT TO VERIFY PALEOPROTEROZOIC Pb/U ISOTOPIC AGE BY M.I. VOLOBUEV
Authors: Kuzmichev A. B. , Danukalova M. K.
Published: April 2024

The article unravels a confusing history of ideas about the age of the Garevka granite pluton, which is considered as a reference object for the Precambrian of the Yenisei ridge. Initially, the Paleoproterozoic (1750 Ma) age of granite was determined by M.I. Volobuev and co-authors half a century ago using Pb/U isotope analyses of zircons and orthites. This dating is widely used up to recent to substantiate the Early Precambrian age of the metamorphic rocks of the Trans-Angara region. In 2003, V.A. Vernikovsky and his colleagues published data on the Neoproterozoic (752±3 Ma) age of the massif, obtained with modern technique of isotopic analysis. However, some of experts on the geology of the Yenisei ridge considered both isotopic ages correct, believing that the eastern part of the massif comprises Paleoproterozoic gneissic granite. Our investigation revealed the following: V.A. Vernikovsky and M.I. Volobuev indeed have collected their granite samples at the western and at the eastern parts of the pluton correspondingly. Krasnoyarsk geologists map the Garevka pluton as part of the Neoproterozoic Glushikha granite suite, but use to apply its Paleoproterozoic dating to substantiate the early Precambrian age of the host rocks. M.I. Volobuev obtained ten mainly discordant Pb/U analyses of the Garevka granites, and six of them form an explicable combination consistent with the age of 1750 Ma. The only concordant analysis with a known sampling point is decisive for the entire system. Thus, to fix the problem, it was necessary to reproduce this analysis using modern isotope techniques. We have dated (SHRIMP) a granite sample collected at the same point. In addition, three more samples from different parts of the massif were analysed to exclude the possible presence of ancient domains in it. The isotope ratios of all analysed zircons form a concordant cluster with an age of 762±7 Ma. The Garevka pluton comprises a separate mappable body composed of biotite leucogranites with fluorite. Granites do not replace some older rocks, but crystallized from the melt, ascended from deep crust. The question about possible Paleoproterozoic age of the Garevka granite pluton or any part of it is closed. Ideas about the wide distribution of Archean and Paleoproterozoic gneisses in the Trans-Angara region require additional geochronological verification. To date, the presence of such rocks has been reliably established here only at two local points.

Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the implementation of the methodology for paleovolcanic structure analyzing using 3D visualization of the model of the geological territory structure based on the relief digital model. The approach used made it possible to identify two paleovolcanic apparatuses and their structural elements: cone fragments, explosive domes, porphyritic stocks, ring fault zones with localization of dike belts in them. This, within the framework of the evolution model of porphyry ore systems, made it possible to identify promising areas for prospecting on ore objects of a given type. The procedure was checked on the basis of geochemical survey results. The regular control by the selected structural elements of geochemical fields was shown. The analysis of the spatial position of the selected structural blocks with a certain geochemical characteristic rather well into the evolution model of the porphyry ore systems. In all cases the control of geochemical halos by porphyry stocks is noted, the material rock complexes that are fragments of the zonal stone hat of the porphyry ore object, are quite clearly distinguished. Within the area of work, three ore-magmatic systems can be identified at a low level of erosion shear, potentially accompanied by porphyry-type ore mineralization.

The Gebel EL-Zeit area in the southwestern Gulf of Suez, Egypt, is an area with a significant hydrocarbon potential in sedimentary basins, so that the three-stage inversion method was proposed for the Bouguer anomalies observed therein. Salt diapirs obscured the deep structure of the main central El-Zeit basin; hence, this method was implemented to overcome challenges in 3D seismic modeling. Our study included direct and inverse parameterization sequences that involved analyzing the inputs and outputs within trial-and-error initiations and inverse estimations to assess whether and how much the constraining parameters used in the calculations could achieve the intended aim. Data reduction, filtering, optimization, and constraint assumptions were used to determine the minimal set of density model parameters needed to set limits on the acceptable range of density contrasts that are required to study the basement depths, swells, troughs, faulting/folding and intra-sedimentary structures, and for direct modeling aimed at creating a simple model to save time. The thirteen constrained wells with a total depth ranging from shallow to deep were not involved in direct modeling but provided quality control over the graphical display of the inverse results for the entire study area. Moreover, many parameter constraints were inverted to regulate the way the calculated data are related to the model’s solution that allowed us to determine which inversion trial provided the best parameterization sequence and, therefore, yielded the most appropriate solution for the depth-density model which is approximating reality with a minimal computation error in the study area.

The use of a magnetic compass in paleomagnetic studies of highly magnetic rocks (for instance, basalts) can lead to large errors in the orientation of paleomagnetic samples. On the other hand, alternative methods of orientation are relatively time-consuming, and in the case of using a solar compass, they also require sunny weather – a condition that is rarely met, especially when sampling at high and subpolar latitudes. This often leads to the fact that researchers in their work rely on the results of magnetic compass measurements, while assuming that the resulting errors are of a random nature and, with sufficiently good statistics, are averaged. In this study, numerical modeling is performed, which allows us to verify this assumption and assess how much orientation errors associated with the use of a magnetic compass can affect the final results of paleomagnetic studies, such as determining the position of the paleomagnetic pole and the amplitude of ancient geomagnetic variations. As a result of the work performed , it is shown that: 1) the amplitudes of paleosecular variations and the positions of paleomagnetic poles are weakly sensitive to moderate and even relatively large errors in the orientation of paleomagnetic samples associated with the use of a magnetic compass; 2) very large errors in the orientation of samples lead to a significant increase in the within-site scatter of paleomagnetic directions, which makes it possible to detect and exclude the corresponding sites with a large (for instance >15°) value of the α95; 3) the influence of distortions associated with the use of a magnetic compass on the accuracy of determining the position of the paleomagnetic pole and the amplitude of ancient geomagnetic variations depends on latitude. At near-equatorial latitudes, this effect is maximal, at medium latitudes – minimal.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to utilize random forest methodology to develop a practical diagnostic function for predicting lymph node metastasis in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Methods: The research data of this retrospective cohort study was obtained through a comprehensive analysis of telephone interviews and medical records of 241 patients with breast cancer referred to the hospitals affiliated with Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences between 2016 and 2022. The data analysis method used in this study was random forest analysis to identify the influential factors associated with lymph node metastasis using R software. Results: The mean age of diagnosis for patients was 52.03 ± 10.932. Based on the random forest analysis outcomes, an accuracy rate of 72.2% has been attained. The influential factors in our study included grade, tubule formation, skin involvement, p53 marker, margin involvement, nuclear pleomorphism, Ki67, tumor location, estrogen receptor (ER), and (progesterone receptor) PR markers. These factors were determined to have a significant impact based on the mean accuracy reduction index. Furthermore, the variables that demonstrated significance based on the mean Gini reduction index included age, grade, tubule formation, tumor size, nuclear pleomorphism, disease level, mitosis, skin involvement, tumor location, and margin involvement. Conclusions: The utilization of the random forest algorithm, which demonstrates a favorable level of discriminative capability, may serve as a suitable approach for predicting metastasis in patients with breast cancer. Furthermore, by identifying these factors, experts can employ effective strategies to mitigate the condition.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection affects over 50% of the world's population and is the primary cause of duodenal and gastric ulcers, as well as gastric cancer. Objectives: To investigate the risk factors for recurrence following successful eradication of H. pylori infection in children aged 4 - 16 years in the Baoding area. Methods: The study included 328 children diagnosed with H. pylori infection at our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022, who had successfully undergone eradication treatment. A questionnaire covering personal history, family history, health status, and family socioeconomic status was administered to the children, coupled with a 1-year follow-up. Recurrence within this period was monitored, along with an analysis of the risk factors for recurrence post-eradication. Results: Out of 328 children with H. pylori infection, 295 (89.9%) were successfully followed up. Among these, 55 (18.6%) tested positive on the 13C-urea breath test and were considered to have recurrent infection (recurrence group), while 240 (81.4%) tested negative and were considered to have no recurrence (non-recurrence group). Univariate chi-square analysis of the questionnaire results indicated that age (P < 0.05), number of eradication treatments (P < 0.05), mother's education level (P < 0.05), place of residence (P < 0.05), family income (P < 0.05), family history of H. pylori infection (P < 0.05), separate meals (P < 0.05), and lunch location (P < 0.05) significantly influenced H. pylori recurrence. Multivariate analysis, which included factors showing significant differences in univariate analysis, was performed using a logistic regression model. This analysis identified multiple treatments (> 2 eradication attempts), residing in rural areas, and low family income as combined risk factors for H. pylori recurrence in children. Conversely, being older than 10 years, eating separate meals, and higher maternal education level emerged as protective factors against recurrence. Conclusions: There is a relatively high rate of H. pylori recurrence among children aged 4 - 16 years in this region, which may be linked to age, number of eradication treatments, dietary and hygiene habits, educational levels of family members, and economic status.

в данной статье рассматривается вопрос о преемственности литературных приемов в исторических материалах, созданных в период поздней династии Мин. Предметом исследования послужили примечания к историческим текстам XV-XVII веков. Основной целью являлось выявление способов использования методов художественной литературы с целью придания нарративной насыщенности и яркости вторичным историческим описаниям. Материалы: проведен анализ 23 исторических текстов и прилагаемых к ним описаний и комментариев, составленных в период поздней Мин. Методы: использованы методы контент-анализа исторических текстов и вспомогательных материалов с целью выявления опорных фигур и тропов, характерных для литературного повествования. Результаты: выделено 12 основных приемов, заимствованных из художественной литературы и активно применявшихся в примечаниях позднеминских историков – метафора, олицетворение, гипербола, антитеза и др. Показана тенденция к усложнению нарратива путем создания внутренних связей между историческими фактами.

this article examines the issue of the continuity of literary techniques in historical materials created during the late Ming Dynasty. The subject of the study was the notes to historical texts of the XV-XVII centuries. The main goal was to identify ways to use the methods of fiction in order to give narrative saturation and brightness to secondary historical descriptions. Materials: the analysis of 23 historical texts and the descriptions and comments attached to them, compiled during the late Ming period, was carried out. Methods: methods of content analysis of historical texts and auxiliary materials were used in order to identify supporting figures and tropes characteristic of literary narrative. Results: 12 main techniques borrowed from fiction and actively used in the notes of late Latin historians are identified – metaphor, personification, hyperbole, antithesis, etc. The tendency to complicate the narrative by creating internal links between historical facts is shown.

статья посвящается рассмотрению основных подходов к определению уровня владения русским языком у детей инофонов. Цель исследования заключается в анализе существующих методик изучения русского языка как иностранного. Задачи исследования заключаются в рассмотрении различных точек зрения ученых-лингвистов на проблемы изучения русского языка у иностранных учащихся, а также изучении методов и приемов определения уровня владения русским языком. Методы исследования, которые применяются в работе: эмпирический, описательный и метод анализа. Практическая значимость исследования заключается в том, что ее результаты помогут при обучении иностранных учащихся русскому языку. Актуальность проблемы связана с тем, что в следствии миграционных процессов в Российскую Федерацию приезжают иностранцы с детьми, которые не владеют или слабо владеют русским языком. Для обучения таких детей необходимы новые подходы и методики. Мы предлагаем ввести наиболее действенный метод – лингводидактическое тестирование, которое можно провести как на этапе входного контроля, так и на этапе итогового контроля. Лингводидактический тест, состоящий из пяти субтестов позволит наиболее целосотно определетиь уровень владения русским языком ребенком инофоном.

the article is devoted to the consideration of the main approaches to determining the level of Russian language proficiency in children of foreign speakers. The purpose of the study is to analyze existing methods of learning Russian as a foreign language. The objectives of the study are to consider the various points of view of linguists on the problems of learning Russian from foreign students, as well as the study of methods and techniques for determining the level of proficiency in the Russian language. The research methods used in the work are empirical, descriptive and analytical methods. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its results will help in teaching Russian to foreign students. The urgency of the problem is related to the fact that as a result of migration processes, foreigners with children who do not speak or have a poor command of the Russian language come to the Russian Federation. New approaches and techniques are needed to teach such children. We propose to introduce the most effective method – linguodidactic testing, which can be carried out both at the stage of entrance control and at the stage of final control. A linguistic didactic test consisting of five subtests will allow you to determine the level of Russian language proficiency of a child in a foreign language in the most comprehensive way.
