Boris Johnson and the “Populist Hypothesis” in the Conservative Party (UK)
Authors: Kiyanka Iryna , Turovskyi Illia
Published: September 2023

One of the key features of the phenomenon of populism is the high level of personalization of political activity, the close connection between the spread and level of influence of a populist movement and the personality of its leader. This feature is not, of course, unique to populism, as charismatic leaders can rise to prominence by advocating value systems that are far from populism of any kind - conservative, for example, or by making a career within influential organizational structures with a strong tradition, such as the church. However, for a populist movement, charismatic leadership is almost always a necessary element. On the other hand, in the context of open, public political struggle, populist techniques and rhetoric become a powerful and sometimes necessary tool.

Green purchasing is a form of implementing selection to buy products by prioritizing environmentally friendly principles. Green purchasing of kitchen equipment is important to help reduce environmental impacts and guarantee the safety, stability, welfare, and quality of life of the present and future generations. This research was conducted at Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort located on Pemutih Street, Labuan Sait, Uluwatu, Bali. This study aims to determine the implementation of green purchasing in the procurement of kitchen equipment at Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort which was analyzed using green purchasing indicators developed by Pramesti. The data collection method used is interviews with key informants determined purposively and observation techniques using participant observation. The data analysis method used is the qualitative descriptive analysis technique. The results of this study indicate that Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort has not implemented green purchasing optimally in the procurement of kitchen equipment. There are several obstacles experienced by the purchasing department, namely not having guidelines for implementing green purchasing, the price of goods is expensive, and the production of goods is still small so it cannot meet the needs of kitchen items. The implication of this research is to advise companies to make Standard Operating Procedures regarding implementing green purchasing and to carry out routine price evaluations for suppliers with environmentally friendly product criteria to get prices that match the company’s budget. In addition, the purchasing department can also make regular observations on goods produced by suppliers with environmentally friendly criteria.

Studi Komparatif Kitab Hadis Karya Abdul Karim Amrullah (Haji Rasul) dan Syekh Muhammad Yunus (Tuanku Sasak)
Authors: M. Dalil Fitri Yenni , Satriadi Inong , Hafizzullah Hafizzullah
Published: September 2023

Two great Minangkabau scholars, namely Abdul Karim Amrullah (Hajj Rasul) and (Tuanku Sasak) Sheikh Muhammad Yunus who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries have succeeded in compiling hadith books that are used as guidelines by the community and students in madrasas. The two books compiled by Hajj Rasul are the Book of Ayqâz an-Niyâm Fima Ibtada'a min Amril Qiyâm and the book of Asy-Syir'ah, and One book of hadith was compiled by Tuanku Sasak, namely Himpoenan Hadith. These three hadith books are interesting to study because they are both written by minangkabau scholars, one of whom rejected the order and one became the teacher of the order.  The method used in this study is a comparative method, by comparing the work of the two scholars. From research, it was found that the background of writing the three hadith books is the same to answer the problems of the people who developed in the Minang realm. The methods used are both maudhui methods, but in his discussion Hajj Rasul strengthened his opinion with the Quran, Ijma, Qiyas and the opinions of friends, tabiin, ulama and fiqhiyyah methods as reinforcement of his arguments. To judge the sanad hadith, these two scholars in their books use the jarh wa Ta'dil method and to assess the quality of the hadith both scholars use the tarjih method.

Some Considerations on the Speed of Light
Authors: Yunusov Nigmatulla
Published: September 2023

In this work, based on the proposed new refined definition of light in [1][2], which reveals the physical nature and properties of this object of matter at the level of photons, some considerations are put forward about the speed of light. According to these considerations, the propagation speed of individual photons in the vacuum of various components of the light spectrum, as a function of multiplicatively related two physical quantities - the wavelength and frequency of photons, remains a constant value. At the same time, the measured value of this speed by the measuring device* for various components of the light spectrum is noticeably, and in the ultraviolet range, significantly different. In the visible region of the light spectrum, this difference reaches a value of 1.9; in the infrared range - up to a value of 2.1; in the ultraviolet range - up to a value of 80; and in the full spectrum of light - up to a value of 320.

Effect of Annealing Temperature on the Thermochromic Properties of Tungsten Oxide Films
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University, Ivantsov M. O. , Shapovalov V. I. ,   Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University
Published: September 2023

This work is devoted to the study of thermochromic properties of tungsten oxide films deposited on quartz glass substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. A novelty is the study of the influence of vacuum annealing on the dispersion of optical constants. After deposition, the amorphous WO3–x films had low absorption in the visible wavelength range. As a result of annealing in vacuum at a temperature of 600 °C or more, a broad absorption band appeared in the transmission spectra of the samples with a maximum in the region of 900…920 nm, as a result of which the films acquired a blue color. Thermochromism in WO3–x films arose due to the formation of a hydrogen-tungsten bronze phase in their amorphous matrix, which acquired an extremum. It has been established that the dispersion of the absorption coefficient of films in the near-IR range is adequately described by the Breit-Wigner distribution. The use of this distribution made it possible to establish that with an increase in the annealing temperature, the degree of change in the absorption index increases nonlinearly, a decrease in the broadening of the spectral line saturates, and the asymptotic value of the dispersion of the refractive index decreases approximately in proportion to the annealing temperature.

Hz. Ebû Bekir İslam tarihinin en saygın şahsiyetlerinden birisidir. Ona bu denli bir kıymet kazandıran unsurların Kur’ân’ın nüzûl sürecindeki yerini tespit etmek son derce önemlidir. Konuya dair Hüseyin Çelik’in ‘Hz. Ebû Bekir Hakkında Nâzil Olan Ayetler” başlıklı bir makalesi vardır. Ancak bu çalışmanın büyük bir kısmı tefsir odaklıdır. Bizim araştırmamızda ise ağırlıklı olarak Hz. Ebû Bekir hakkındaki ayetlerin nüzûl sebepleri bir değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmaktadır. Buradan hareketle onun model şahsiyet oluşu Kur’ân bağlamında ortaya konulmaktadır. Mevzu işlenirken nüzûl sırası değil de konu bütünlüğü gözetilmiştir. Bu vesileyle sahasında en eski kaynak olan Vâhidî’nin Esbâb-ı nüzûl adlı eseri gözden geçirilmiş ve Hz. Ebû Bekir’in adının geçtiği bütün rivayetler sahîh hadis kaynakları ve tefsirler çerçevesinde bir değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Netice olarak Hz. Ebû Bekir’in örnek bir şahsiyet oluşunu ortaya koyan ayetlerin nâzil olduğu görülmüştür. Bu da onun saygınlığının bir yönüyle Kur’ân temelli olduğunun göstergesidir.

Günümüzde bütün uygar devletler tarafından bir takım kanun, kural ve yaptırımlar bağlamında özen ve titizlikle tahripten korunmak istenen çevrenin insanların istifadesine sunulabilmesini sağlayabilmek için “yeşil kuşak, sit alanı, milli park” uygulamasına tarihte ilk defa Mekke’de rastlanılmaktadır. Hz. İbrahim (a.s.) tarafından haram bölge ilân edilen Mekke’yi kuşatan belirli bir alan, Hz. Peygamber (s.a.s.)’den haramlık ve yasaklığını muhafaza etmiştir. Bu tarihî yasağa, vaktiyle Cahiliye Arapları dahi özenle uymuşlardır. Hz. Peygamber, Mekke'nin yanında Taif’in bazı bölgeleri olmak üzere Medine’nin de dört bir tarafını çevreleyen alanı; haram, dokunulmaz, koruluk ve sit alanı diye tabir edilebilecek anlamda yasak bölge ilan etmiştir. Bu haram bölgelerin ve ormanın ağacını kesmek, kuş ve yabani hayvanlarını avlamak, otunu yolmak gibi yeşilliğine zarar vermek gibi davranışlar yasaklanmıştır. Bu yasakları çiğneyenlerin malzemelerinin müsadere edilmesi gibi bazı maddi yaptırımlar da uygulanmıştır. İlk İslam şehri, kendisinden sonrakileri etkileyerek merkezde cami, etrafı yeşil sit alanı olmak üzere halkalar şeklinde tek merkezli bir yapıdadır. Hz. Peygamber, ortalama ekonomik durum, başkalarına karşı övünme, israf gibi kaygılardan dolayı en fazla iki katlı ev yapımına izin vermiştir. Bunun yanında Yahudilerden kalıp anıtsal değeri olan üç katlı taş evleri de övmüş onları Medine’nin süsü olarak isimlendirmiştir.

Published: September 2023

The article explores the change management process from the perspective of human resource management, taking into account the functioning peculiarities of modern organizations. The influence of organizational inertia on its adaptability to external and internal environment demands, as well as its ability to change, is identified. Based on organizational criteria, the impact of inertia on the speed of change for different organizations is determined. It is argued that organizational changes are complex, hard to predict, and somewhat conflicting processes, requiring the consideration of human resource management specifics. The study demonstrates that the human aspect plays a fundamental role in any change process, as the potential and interactions between employees and organizational leaders define the success of change implementation. Practical recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of change components are provided using D. Gleicher's change formula. Typical mistakes in change implementation are detailed, and managerial approaches to prevent such symptoms are proposed. The most significant reasons inhibiting the achievement of personal goals by both managers and individual employee groups are identified. Approaches for more effective time utilization and the implementation of individual and team changes are suggested. The typology of employees concerning changes is analyzed, and utilizing practical results from the diffusion of innovation theory, appropriate managerial directions are identified to activate collective efforts towards change. The application possibilities of D. Kolb's four-stage learning cycle for engaging and implementing changes among various employee psychotypes are substantiated. The study concludes that different employee types exhibit different strengths and weaknesses, motivating and demotivating factors, as well as diverse needs and prospects for personal development. Considering distinctive characteristics, motivational and demotivating influences, and risk zones in professional activity, the main employee types are delineated, accompanied by recommendations to mitigate risk zones during their integration into the change process.

Authors:   Odessa National Economic University, Slatvinska Maryna
Published: September 2023

The article defines the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of the formation of financial resources of local self-government bodies in terms of their components. The number of local budgets of Ukraine by types of budgets was analyzed and it was established that in recent years, in view of the measures taken for decentralization, radical changes have taken place in the structure of local budgets of Ukraine. The dominant factors in the formation of revenues of local budgets have been studied and the shift in their significance over the years has been revealed. The key components of tax revenues of local budgets are outlined and their structure over the last five years from 2018 to 2022 is analyzed. Problematic aspects in the field of revenue formation of local budgets at the expense of tax revenues are identified. It was revealed that the personal income tax, even without taking into account the state of war in the country, shows growing dynamics. And it is mainly related to the increase in 2022 of salaries and payments to military personnel. The fiscal reserve of this tax has been established, which is related to the existence of a significant shadow sector in Ukraine, directly, shadow employment, which is due to the desire of business entities to minimize tax liability, the shadow market of apartment rentals and other income of natural persons obtained in the shadow. It is outlined that increasing the income of local budgets from taxation with the tax on the income of natural persons will also contribute to the intensification of work on the popularization of the procedure for declaring the income received by natural persons. It is noted that the reserves for increasing the property tax are the creation and development of a mechanism for the population to restore the car fleet with the aim of increasing the tax base for transport tax in the future, strengthening the digitization of the procedure for submitting information to the State Register of Property and its timely entry. Reserves for increasing the income of local budgets by separate components of both tax and non-tax revenues have been identified. It was established that the leading place among them is occupied by fiscal reserves, and directions were outlined that would direct them to increase local budget revenues and strengthen the financial capacity of territories.

Published: September 2023

Separate approaches to defining the concept of an insurance system are considered. The definition of the insurance system based on the methodology of system analysis and synthesis is proposed. The theoretical basis of the classification of systems, the choice of which is based on the goals and objectives of the research, is considered. The fundamental problems of system structuring are considered. The components of the system approach are defined, namely: structural and functional analysis. Their essence is briefly described for a general description and characteristics of the insurance system. The considered tool of the components of the system approach is the goal tree, which is designed to solve a number of goals. The main purpose of the goal tree is the decomposition of goals and their grouping by purpose in order to determine the vectors of influence on the insurance system. The organizational structure and management structure are defined. The principle of system hierarchy is analyzed. Based on the methodological foundations of the system approach, the insurance system is defined as a system. Arguments for such a conclusion are given, which are that the insurance system is subject to the main economic laws (demand and supply, is oriented towards achieving some economic result, depending on the conditions of the competitive environment, unlike other economic objects, its activity is specific and connected (through the insurance company) with the receipt and transformation of funds, as well as the corresponding ratio of insurance tariffs and insurance payments as a result of the implementation of an insurance service or guarantee leads to the formation of income, due to which the insurance system can be identified as an association that performs certain communications, being an open system, the insurance system interacts with more high-order systems, and its functioning is directly related to the functioning of each of them. The insurance system is defined as a large, complex, hierarchical, dynamic, controlled and purposeful system. Which in terms of interaction with the external environment is an open system that functions in conditions of uncertainty. It is noted that it is a subsystem of systems of a higher order: financial and credit (the latter forms the financial sector of the economy as a whole). The scheme of interaction of the insurance company with the systems of different levels is shown graphically. In the conclusions based on the proposed methodological approach, a definition of the insurance system is proposed.
CHINA’S RESOURCE DIPLOMACY IN THE ARCTIC: IMPLICATIONS FOR GREENLAND
Authors:   Uzhhorod National University, Kykyna Anhelina , Zayats Olena ,   Uzhhorod National University
Published: September 2023

Due to climate change, the expansion of trade routes, and the enormous potential of natural resources, the remote Arctic is becoming an arena for a new type of geopolitical competition. In this context, China, as one of the world leaders, is an important participant in the “race for the Arctic”, focusing on the resources under the cover of the permafrost. China’s polar initiative is based on strategic approaches to energy security and resource diversification. One of the key points on its resource map is Greenland, a Danish autonomous region with huge reserves of critical minerals. Sino-Greenlandic mining relations open up new opportunities for both sides, as allow China to meet its energy and raw material needs, and the Greenlandic government to develop its economy and infrastructure and thus reduce its own financial dependence on the Kingdom of Denmark. However, China’s initiative in Greenland also faces risks and challenges. The environmental impacts of natural resource extraction could negatively affect the region’s unique ecosystems and cause long-term environmental disruption. In addition, the implementation of China’s projects may harm the socio-cultural elements of the local population’s life. It is also worth noting that the Sino-Greenlandic raw material synergy can greatly affect the geopolitical dynamics of the polar region, changing the balance of power and causing new challenges for existing and dominant Arctic structures and actors, including China’s main rival, the United States. The competition between the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America could lead to escalation of tensions and conflicts in the Arctic, which requires careful monitoring and diplomatic efforts to ensure peace and stability. In order to successfully resolve the challenges faced by Chinese companies in Kalaallit Nunaat, it is necessary to develop guarantees for effective cooperation between the parties and take into account the interests of the local population, to carry out responsible resource extraction, and to implement a transparent and environmentally sound approach to mining and infrastructure projects.

The article explored the features of using neural networks to create logos. The significant influence of globalization processes and digitalization on the activation of marketing strategies development in the offline and online environment has been proven. Prerequisites for the active development of machine learning algorithms, including neural networks with different architectures and activation functions, are given. The expediency of establishing long-term communications between the company and the target audience thanks to the use of logos has been established. The effectiveness of different color schemes use in the development of logos, taking into account the set of the target audience characteristics, was determined. It has been established that the main customers who pay attention to innovative logos are representatives of the Z and Alpha generations. Communication between the company and the target audience is carried out thanks to the stimulation of various senses. Taking into account biological features, consumers perceive the main information thanks to the organs of vision. Accordingly, the creation of a high-quality logo increases the probability of the company's success on the market, but only if a comprehensive marketing strategy is implemented in the offline and digital environment. A correctly selected font affects the perception of the logo by consumers. Choosing the wrong typeface hinders the communication of the brand's philosophy to consumers. Along with this, the use of specific fonts can lead to complications when reading the text on the logo. Individual fonts are negatively perceived by customers and can lead to a decrease in sales volumes. To identify the company, it is advisable to place the logo on banners, business cards, in advertising, in social networks, etc. The logo must be light, elegant and unique to ensure ease of perception of the graphic object as an integral part of the corporate identity of the company. A typical architecture of a neural network with a description of the main layers of input and processing of large volumes of information is presented. There are examples of software that allows companies to generate visual content, including logos for various brands, based on text information.

This article is devoted to the processes of digital transformation of the domestic economy. The processes of accelerating the digital development of enterprises, regions, and the country's economy deserve special attention, which are connected with the unforeseen circumstances that the entire society has faced since 2019 – the pandemic. It was the limited communication, the impossibility of carrying out trade operations in the usual mode, conducting negotiations, etc. that became the impetus for digital transformation. Digitalization of business helps to take the company to a new level, increase customer loyalty to the brand and implement new tools quickly and efficiently. Marketing costs are reduced, sales conversion is improved, the level of competitiveness is increasing, both at the national level and abroad. State support and stimulation of the development of digitalization is important, in particular, in the implementation of e-government provisions. Ukraine also lags behind Poland and most of its Western neighbors, which confirms the need for additional efforts to improve the level of e-government, communication between residents and authorities, and facilitate public access to digital skills training. The digital economy undoubtedly has a large number of advantages for society, business and the state. In particular, it is able to reduce the percentage of the shadow economy and corruption in the country, because transactions carried out digitally can be easily monitored. In addition, the emergence of the domestic market of digital technologies will create new opportunities for Ukrainian IT companies, which will stop the outflow of highly qualified personnel abroad. On the other hand, there are threats to data security in the form of cyber attacks. New technologies, especially artificial intelligence, will lead to major changes in the labor market, including the disappearance of jobs in some sectors and their appearance in others. Ukraine should be ready for such drastic changes. These processes were a consequence of these restrictions, not everyone was delighted with them, many were not prepared for them and perceived them negatively, but it became a necessity for the normal functioning of the economy and enterprises in particular. It became clear that the level of competitiveness of the economy depends entirely on the pace of the digital transformation process. In the course of military operations on the territory of our country, it was digitalization that came in handy for volunteers, military logisticians and other persons who bring Victory closer.

Narrative Review of Clinical Impact of Head-Hip Offset Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery
Authors: Kim Sunho , Hyun Seung-Jae , Lee Jae-Koo , Kim Ki-Jeong
Published: September 2023

In adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, mechanical failure (MF) has been a significant concern for spine surgeons as well as patients. Despite earnest endeavors to prevent MF, the absence of a definitive consensus persists, owing to the intricate interplay of multifarious factors associated with this complication. Previous approaches centered around global spinal alignment have yielded limited success in entirely forestalling MF. These methodologies, albeit valuable, exhibited limitations by neglecting to encompass global balance and compensatory mechanisms within their purview. In response to this concern, an in-depth comprehension of global balance and compensatory mechanisms emerges as imperative. In this discourse, the center of gravity and the gravity line are gaining attention in recent investigations pertaining to global balance. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the global balance and a comprehensive understanding of related concepts and knowledge. Moreover, it delves into the clinical ramifications of the contemporary optimal correction paradigm to furnish an encompassing understanding of global balance and the current optimal correction strategies within the context of ASD surgery. By doing so, it endeavors to furnish spine surgeons with a guiding compass, enriching their decision-making process as they navigate the intricate terrain of ASD surgical interventions.

Authors: Pugliese Matthew , Brismée Jean-Michel , Allen Brad , Riley Sean , Tammany Justin , Mintken Paul
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study investigated the prevalence of burnout in physical therapists in the United States and the relationships between burnout and education, mentorship, and self-efficacy.Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey study. An electronic survey was distributed to practicing physical therapists across the United States over a 6-week period from December 2020 to January 2021. The survey was completed by 2,813 physical therapists from all states. The majority were female (68.72%), White or Caucasian (80.13%), and employed full-time (77.14%). Respondents completed questions on demographics, education, mentorship, self-efficacy, and burnout. The Burnout Clinical Subtypes Questionnaire 12 (BCSQ-12) and self-reports were used to quantify burnout, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to measure self-efficacy. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed.Results: Respondents from home health (median BCSQ-12=42.00) and skilled nursing facility settings (median BCSQ-12=42.00) displayed the highest burnout scores. Burnout was significantly lower among those who provided formal mentorship (median BCSQ-12=39.00, P=0.0001) compared to no mentorship (median BCSQ-12=41.00). Respondents who received formal mentorship (median BCSQ-12=38.00, P=0.0028) displayed significantly lower burnout than those who received no mentorship (median BCSQ-12=41.00). A moderate negative correlation (rho=-0.49) was observed between the GSES and burnout scores. A strong positive correlation was found between self-reported burnout status and burnout scores (rrb=0.61).Conclusion: Burnout is prevalent in the physical therapy profession, as almost half of respondents (49.34%) reported burnout. Providing or receiving mentorship and higher self-efficacy were associated with lower burnout. Organizations should consider measuring burnout levels, investing in mentorship programs, and implementing strategies to improve self-efficacy.
Curcumin in vitro Neuroprotective Effects Are Mediated by p62/keap-1/Nrf2 and PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway and Autophagy Inhibition
Authors: Li X , Sun P , Zhang D , Yan L
Published: September 2023

Oxidative stress and autophagy are potential mechanisms associated with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and is usually linked to inflammatory responses and apoptosis. Curcumin has recently been demonstrated to exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic and autophagy regulation properties. However, mechanism of curcumin on IRI-induced oxidative stress and autophagy remains not well understood. We evaluated the protective effects and potential mechanisms of curcumin on cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3) and neuronal cells (HT22) against oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in vitro models that mimic in vivo cerebral IRI. The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity assays revealed that curcumin attenuated the OGD/R-induced injury in a dose-specific manner. OGD/R induced elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 as well as IL-1β, and these effects were notably reduced by curcumin. OGD/R-mediated apoptosis was suppressed by curcumin via upregulating B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and downregulating Bcl-associated X (Bax), cleaved-caspase3 and TUNEL apoptosis marker. Additionally, curcumin increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), but suppressed malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. Curcumin inhibited the levels of autophagic biomarkers such as LC3 II/LC3 I and Beclin1. Particularly, curcumin induced p62 accumulation and its interactions with keap1 and promoted NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) translocation to nucleus, accompanied by increased NADPH quinone dehydrogenase (Nqo1) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Treatment of curcumin increased phosphorylation-phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (p-PI3K) and p-protein kinase B (p-AKT). The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) activated the keap-1/Nrf2 and PI3K/AKT pathways. This study highlights the neuroprotective effects of curcumin on cerebral IRI.

The switch processes packets in the SDN operation that meet the flow entries. The Packet that doesn't match any entries is transmitted as a Packet_in message to the Controller. Therefore, sending a lot of Packet in messages in a short amount of time could bring down the controller, and as a result, the entire network consequently resulting in to distributed denial of Service Attacks ( DDOS). This study uses the rate of Packet_in as a single feature, monitor, extract and utilize it to identify DDOS attacks in SDN using Random Fores classifier. The result shows 99.8% Accuracy which is slightly better than the work of [24] with 99.7%.

Published: September 2023

A proposta deste estudo se volta à discussão da atuação interseccionada dos sistemas opressivos, a partir da realidade retratada no curta-metragem Vida Maria. O texto se propõe, ainda, a colocar em pauta tensionamentos sobre as políticas públicas – ou melhor, a falta delas – naquele cenário multidimensionado em que vivem a personagem Maria e sua família. O objetivo central do artigo é, portanto, promover um debate teórico-reflexivo, articulando estes dois eixos: interseccionalidade e políticas públicas, a partir das contribuições teórico-metodológicas da Psicologia Social Crítica. Para isso, tecemos breve contextualização sobre a inserção da Psicologia em políticas públicas e, em seguida, situamos as discussões sobre a interseccionalidade como ferramenta de análise da produção cinematográfica. Os resultados alcançados permitem conceber que se coloca como desafio permanente à Psicologia Social a luta pela concretização de políticas públicas articuladas, comprometidas com a efetivação de ações sensíveis à realidade concreta das populações afetadas pelos sistemas de opressão interseccionados
Comparison of biomechanical analysis results using different musculoskeletal models for children with cerebral palsy

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Musculoskeletal model-based simulations have gained popularity as a tool for analyzing human movement biomechanics. However, when examining the same gait, different models with varying anatomical data and assumptions may produce inconsistent biomechanical results. This inconsistency is particularly relevant for children with cerebral palsy, who often exhibit multiple pathological gait patterns that can impact model outputs.

Methods: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selecting musculoskeletal models on the biomechanical analysis results in children with cerebral palsy. Gait data were collected from multiple participants at slow, medium, and fast velocities. Joint kinematics, joint dynamics, and muscle activation were calculated using six popular musculoskeletal models within a biomechanical simulation environment.

Results: The degree of inconsistency, measured as the root-mean-square deviation, in kinematic and kinetic results produced by the different models ranged from 4% to 40% joint motion range and 0%–28% joint moment range, respectively. The correlation between the results of the different models (both kinematic and kinetic) was good (R>0.85, P<0.01), with a stronger correlation observed in the kinetic results. Four of the six models showed a positive correlation between the simulated muscle activation of rectus femoris and the surface EMG, while all models exhibited a positive correlation between the activation of medial gastrocnemius and the surface EMG (P<0.01).

Discussion: These results provide insights into the consistency of model results, factors influencing consistency, characteristics of each model’s outputs, mechanisms underlying these characteristics, and feasible applications for each model. By elucidating the impact of model selection on biomechanical analysis outcomes, this study advances the field’s understanding of musculoskeletal modeling and its implications for clinical gait analysis model decision-making in children with cerebral palsy.
Deubiquitinase OTUD3: a double-edged sword in immunity and disease

Deubiquitination is an important form of post-translational modification that regulates protein homeostasis. Ovarian tumor domain-containing proteins (OTUDs) subfamily member OTUD3 was identified as a deubiquitinating enzyme involved in the regulation of various physiological processes such as immunity and inflammation. Disturbances in these physiological processes trigger diseases in humans and animals, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, mastitis, etc. OTUD3 is aberrantly expressed in tumors and is a double-edged sword, exerting tumor-promoting or anti-tumor effects in different types of tumors affecting cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and metabolism. OTUD3 is regulated at the transcriptional level by a number of MicroRNAs, such as miR-520h, miR-32, and miR101-3p. In addition, OTUD3 is regulated by a number of post-translational modifications, such as acetylation and ubiquitination. Therefore, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of OTUD3 expression can help provide insight into its function in human immunity and disease, offering the possibility of its use as a therapeutic target to diagnose or treat disease.
Salmonella in reptiles: a review of occurrence, interactions, shedding and risk factors for human infections

Published: September 2023

Salmonella are considered a part of the normal reptile gut microbiota, but have also been associated with disease in reptiles. Reptile-associated salmonellosis (RAS) can pose a serious health threat to humans, especially children, and an estimated 6% of human sporadic salmonellosis cases have been attributed to direct or indirect contact with reptiles, although the exact number is not known. Two literature searches were conducted for this review. The first evaluated reports of the prevalence of Salmonella in the intestinal tracts of healthy reptiles. Salmonella were most commonly detected in snakes (56.0% overall), followed by lizards (36.9%) and tortoises (34.2%), with lower detection rates reported for turtles (18.6%) and crocodilians (9%). Reptiles in captivity were significantly more likely to shed Salmonella than those sampled in the wild. The majority of Salmonella strains described in reptiles belonged to subspecies I (70.3%), followed by subspecies IIIb (29.7%) and subspecies II (19.6%). The second literature search focused on reports of RAS, revealing that the highest number of cases was associated with contact with turtles (35.3%), followed by lizards (27.1%) and snakes (20.0%). Reptiles associated with RAS therefore did not directly reflect prevalence of Salmonella reported in healthy representatives of a given reptile group. Clinical symptoms associated with RAS predominantly involved the gastrointestinal tract, but also included fever, central nervous symptoms, problems with circulation, respiratory symptoms and others. Disease caused by Salmonella in reptiles appears to be dependent on additional factors, including stress, inadequate husbandry and hygiene, and other infectious agents. While it has been suggested that reptile serovars may cause more severe disease than human-derived strains, and some data is available on invasiveness of individual strains in cell culture, limited information is available on potential mechanisms influencing invasiveness and immune evasion in reptiles and in RAS. Strategies to mitigate the spread of Salmonella through reptiles and to reduce RAS focus mostly on education and hygiene, and have often been met with some success, but additional efforts are needed. Many aspects regarding Salmonella in reptiles remain poorly understood, including the mechanisms by which Salmonella persist in reptile hosts without causing disease.
