Realising Women’s Political Rights in Ukraine
Authors: Lesko Nataliia , Khomyshyn Iryna , Skochylias-Pavliv Olha , Lukіanova Halyna , Malets Marta
Published: June 2023

Aim. The article attempts to study legal fundamentals of realising women’s political rights in Ukraine. Equal rights for women and men in all spheres of social and political life is the important condition and guarantee for strengthening democracy in Ukraine.
Methods. The research was conducted by applying general scientific methods of learning (analysis, synthesis, modelling) and private-scientific methods of learning (historical, retrospective, comparative and legal, formally logical). The general methodological basis of the article is made by dialectics, ensuring comprehensive studying the problems of realising women’s political rights in Ukraine.
Results. Having analysed particularities of realising women’s political rights in Ukraine, it is worth noting that since 2010 gender quotas have not been set in the Ukraine’s election legislation until 2015. However, 2015 was the year of the first introduction of gender quotas, but they were not of imperative character. According to the new Election Code of Ukraine of 19 December 2019, gender quotas have become a mandatory regulation at the nomination stage.
Conclusions. It is reasonable to make transformation of the stereotypes of the women’s role in politics and to draw more attention to mass media, contributing to extension of women’s political rights and destruction of the bias about women’s position in politics. Gender quotas in the election legislation of Ukraine are of great significance for all members of society in the political sphere, whilst it needs improvement of the administrative and legal mechanisms to ensure gender quotas.
The Image of Colour and Number in Fairy Tales: The Case of Bolu Folk Tales
Authors: Kaplan Haktan , Peker Selçuk
Published: June 2023

Aim. How the concepts of colour and number in Bolu tales are perceived in the beliefs and lives of cultures has been examined in our study. We tried to find an answer to the importance of colour and number images in Turkish culture, to compare them with literary works in the literature, in what sense these images are used and whether there is a fundamental point in these areas of use.
Methods. In this study, the method of literature review, which is one of the qualitative research techniques, was used. Various researches previously discussed on this subject were also used as auxiliary elements.
Results. Since the scope of our study is within certain limits, common colours, and numbers, which are more common in Turkish culture, are discussed. The white, black, green, and yellow colours are detected in Bolu tales; the numbers three, seven and forty carry the meanings assigned to them in Turkish culture and Islam.
Conclusion. This study, the use of colours and numbers in fairy tales was examined in Bolu tales and a generalisation was reached. As a result of the colours and numbers being images in the 88 fairy tales examined, the colours and numbers determined in the tales were handled from a historical, religious and cultural point of view; first of all, explanations were made about the meaning of the concepts of colour and number and how they existed, and it was determined in which context of meaning the explanations were reflected imaginatively in Bolu tales.
The Great Depression. Informal Citizenship Education in a Usurpatory Democracy
Authors: Kobylarek Aleksander , Madej Martyna
Published: June 2023

Many countries have had people in power who were mower-mad and hungry for money as their representatives. In the case of Poland, there is quiet acquiescence to unethical actions by the authorities for the sake of one's own benefits, and a commonly accepted aversion to politicians (Zalec, 2022). of all kinds, which may be linked to the country's history. Those in power have become usurpers who do not care about the rules, the constitution or EU law, nor are they afraid of any punishment. Those who oppose these precedents become enemies, murderers or are accused of spreading propaganda. The country is divided into two camps - those who support the current government and those who are against it. The consequences do not only affect individuals, they are sometimes extended to entire municipalities where the current ruling party has lost the election. Ignorance or lack of civic knowledge can cause some voters to ignore the fact/not realise that their passivity is nevertheless supporting the current government. Crucial to combating this phenomenon is reliable informal citizenship education, carried out in an ongoing, emotionally charged way, appealing to the positive sides of informed citizenship and not discouraging to politics. The value of democracy should be taught. People should become open to discussing democracy, and the media should also repeat such positive messages. It is also important to remember what has happened by now.
Punitivismo, estigmatización y exclusión social en Costa Rica: reflexiones sobre la reproducción de la (in)seguridad ciudadana
Authors: Cano Roblero Victor
Published: June 2023

Este ensayo propone analizar críticamente el paradigma de seguridad ciudadana en Costa Rica, predominante en las últimas décadas, a la luz de la teoría del imaginario social de Cornelius Castoriadis. Específicamente, se analizan algunas de las implicaciones simbólicas y materiales que ha tenido su implementación, haciendo hincapié en cómo las significaciones sociales sobre el sujeto que encarna la inseguridad se ven reflejadas en la implementación de determinadas políticas públicas de seguridad ciudadana, y deteniéndose en las dinámicas mediáticas que las (re)producen. Finalmente, se aborda cómo este imaginario refuerza la estigmatización territorial de personas de barrios urbano-marginalizados, y cómo con esto se profundizan procesos de exclusión social urbana, reproduciendo una circularidad entre punitivismo, estigmatización, y exclusión. Metodológicamente, el artículo se nutre de la revisión de fuentes secundarias sobre la cuestión securitaria en Costa Rica de finales del siglo XX e inicios del siglo XXI, mediante la cual se definen tres conceptos que guían la argumentación: imaginario sobre la (in)seguridad, sujeto criminal, y estigmatización territorial. Con este trabajo se espera aportar a la reflexión sobre alternativas integrales e inclusivas que respeten la complejidad de las dinámicas sociales y económicas vinculadas al fenómeno de la criminalidad y la inseguridad ciudadana.
"Una golondrina no hace el verano": discursos entorno al castigo y las políticas de descarcelación en Costa Rica (2015-2017 / 2018-2020)
Authors: Marenco Silva Eduardo
Published: June 2023

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar los discursos en torno al castigo y las políticas de descarcelación de las administraciones ministeriales de la cartera de Justicia y Paz durante los periodos 2015-2017 y 2018-2020 en Costa Rica. Se estudiarán tanto los discursos de los operadores políticos contemplados en entrevistas a medios de comunicación, planes de gobierno y comparecencias legislativas. Cobra relevancia el hecho de que el periodo de estudio abarca dos administraciones de continuidad partidaria, y que el tema carcelario jugó un papel relevante en la elección del 2018 y las políticas de descarcelación fueron achacadas al oficialismo por aumentar la inseguridad en el país. Para alcanzar el objetivo, se utilizó la metodología de Análisis Crítico de Discurso, la cual permite comprender problemas socioculturales desde los discursos emitidos por grupos de poder, los cuales profundizan condiciones de desigualdad y exclusión social. Se concluye que, a pesar de la continuidad partidaria y la visión supuestamente progresista con que el partido se identifica, es posible identificar rupturas y discontinuidades importantes entre ambas administraciones.
La Justicia Penal Juvenil: un acercamiento desde las tesis de grado y posgrado en la academia pública en Costa Rica
Authors: Piedra Pérez Elena , Murillo Mora Astrid Carolina
Published: June 2023

La Ley de Justicia Penal Juvenil (7576) representa una transformación del paradigma en el sistema judicial costarricense en torno al manejo e implementación de la justicia para las y los jóvenes en el país, la cual es producto de una serie de factores culturales, sociales y políticos que modificaron la forma en que se abordaba penalmente a esta población. Dicho lo anterior, surge la necesidad de identificar las áreas temáticas y la interdisciplinariedad con la que la academia pública costarricense ha abordado en los últimos años la Justicia Penal Juvenil. Por tanto, el artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una recopilación investigativa de los esfuerzos académicos materializados en Trabajos Finales de Graduación (TFG) entendiendo estos como el resultado del proceso formativo integral de las universidades públicas en Costa Rica (específicamente las Universidades de Costa Rica, Nacional y Estatal a Distancia), con el fin de demostrar el recorrido académico, el rompimiento de paradigmas, y la integración de nuevas áreas de estudio que permitan visualizar la Justicia Penal Juvenil y el Sistema Penitenciario desde ángulos diferentes así como también, para que sirva como una suerte de línea orientadora para futuros investigadores que deseen adentrarse en la rama Penal Juvenil.

Authors: Artavia Medrano Argentina
Published: June 2023

Este artículo describe la propuesta denominada “Política de Igualdad en la Acción Exterior de Costa Rica (2022). El análisis contextual se realizó tomando en cuenta el marco institucional y político en el que se desarrolla la política exterior del país, así como la larga tradición histórica en la promoción y defensa de los derechos humanos, principalmente los derechos de las mujeres. Fue considerado como relevante también, el hecho de que por primera vez se planteó una política con perspectiva “feminista”.Se realizó una revisión de literatura especializada, material bibliográfico y documental de particular relevancia en esta materia, así como entrevistas semiestructuradas a funcionarias expertas en el tema. La investigación, exploratoria y de carácter descriptivo, utilizó los marcos teóricos y conceptuales de los enfoques feministas y de género en la Política Exterior, con el propósito de identificar si la perspectiva feminista y de género ha sido incorporada en las prácticas y la conceptualización de la acción exterior costarricense, específicamente en la conformación de la política antes mencionada. Preliminarmente, se concluye que existen esfuerzos sostenidos y avances importantes para incorporar la perspectiva de género en la toma de decisiones y en la construcción de espacios que garanticen la igualdad de género, así como asegurar la coherencia de la acción exterior.El propósito del artículo es aportar elementos para posteriores reflexiones e investigaciones en torno al análisis de política exterior y el diseño y formulación de políticas de igualdad de género dentro del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Costa Rica.
Pequeño pamicultor: sentir campesino y estilo productivo en el sureste de Chiapas
Authors: Cano Castellanos Ingreet Juliet
Published: June 2023

Basado en una investigación etnográfica en el sureste de Chiapas, este artículo aborda la producción cultural entre agrupaciones rurales y empresas agroindustriales vinculadas al monocultivo de la palma de aceite. Se proponen las nociones sentir campesino y estilo productivo para explorar los signos y significados que median relaciones de poder e interacciones en el terreno. Argumento que cuando las agrupaciones locales se identifican como pequeños productores afirman su pertenencia a la sociedad rural regional, mientras que las empresas utilizan la categoría de pequeño productor para ubicar socioculturalmente a quienes ocupan el primer eslabón de la cadena productiva. Sin embargo, es claro que dicha categoría oculta las dinámicas regional y local de diferenciación social, pero también las distintas formas como las empresas valoran los recursos y el trabajo extraídos del territorio. En este escenario social desigual, es posible entender que el sentir campesino no corresponde a una cultura de clase ni a una identidad colectiva. Es, más bien, una ecléctica y subalterna sensibilidad práctica y comunicativa a la que apelan los pequeños productores para afrontar su incorporación adversa a este sistema de plantación y para procurar alcanzar ciertos márgenes de maniobra. No obstante, cuando dichos márgenes se ponen en riesgo por coyunturas adversas, las diferencias sociales que atraviesan el sentir campesino impiden una contundente cohesión social. Bajo este escenario, en la espera de mejores coyunturas, los productores lidian con los estilos productivos de las empresas dependiendo de sus distintas condiciones ecológicas, económicas, culturales y políticas.

Authors: Arias-Gamboa Luis Mauricio , López-Herrera Michael , Castillo-Umaña Miguel , Alpízar-Naranjo Andrés
Published: June 2023

Introducción. Tithonia diversifolia es una planta con alto potencial para la alimentación de rumiantes, pero no existen estudios que comparen el efecto de la fertilización química u orgánica a diferentes edades de rebrote sobre su rendimiento y composición bromatológica. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto del tipo de fertilizante y la edad de rebrote sobre rendimiento y composición bromatológica del forraje de Tithonia diversifolia. Materiales y métodos. El trabajo se realizó entre los años 2020 y 2021 en la Finca Experimental Santa Lucía de la Universidad Nacional Costa Rica. Se utilizó un diseño de parcelas divididas completamente al azar: tipo de fertilización (parcela) y edad de rebrote (subparcela) con 3 repeticiones por tratamiento. Los tipos de fertilizante fueron: lombricompost (L), químico (Q) y un control (C) sin uso de fertilizante. Las edades de rebrote evaluadas fueron 30, 50 y 70 días para un total de 9 tratamientos. Las variables evaluadas fueron: producción de biomasa, relación hoja/tallo y composición bromatológica. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó un ANOVA para parcelas divididas. Resultados. El tratamiento Q70 fue el que alcanzó la mayor producción de biomasa (77,18 t/ha de materia verde (MV) y 7,10 t/ha MS), la mayor relación hoja/tallo (1,77) se obtuvo en C30. El tipo de fertilizante tuvo un efecto significativo sobre las variables de MS, PC, FDN y CNF, mientras que la edad de rebrote sólo no generó efectos significativos sobre las variables dFDN y CNF. El mayor contenido de proteína se encontró en Q30 (27,61 % MS). Los contenidos de FDN oscilaron entre 30,23 y 46,29 % y la ENL entre 1,34 y 1,42 Mcal/kg MS. Conclusión. La fertilización y la edad de rebrote demostraron influir sobre el rendimiento y la composición bromatológica de la T. diversifolia, encontrando una respuesta inmediata a la fertilización química.

No Semiárido Brasileiro, espécies do gênero Opuntia detêm relevante importância como reserva forrageira. No entanto, algumas pragas, como Dactylopius opuntiae, representam um entrave para essa cultura. Nesse sentido, avaliou-se 15 acessos de Opuntia com resistência esta praga, quanto aos aspectos morfológicos, produtivos e de trocas gasosas. As avaliações foram feitas 180 dias após o plantio, sendo mensuradas variáveis como altura e largura de plantas, índice de área de cladódio, sobrevivência, produtividade de matéria fresca, taxa de captação de CO2, eficiência instantânea de uso da água, eficiência intrínseca do uso de água e eficiência de carboxilação instantânea. Os resultados demonstraram elevada variabilidade entre os acessos para as variáveis morfológicas e produtivas. A análise de componentes principais evidenciou forte associação entre as características morfológicas e a taxa de captação de CO2, eficiência instantânea de uso da água, eficiência intrínseca do uso de água e eficiência de carboxilação instantânea. Neste estudo foram identificados acessos de Opuntia com características superiores, como os acessos 48, 49, 75, 91 e 100.
A simple estimation of the longevity gap and redistribution in the pension system
Authors: Simonovits András , Lackó Mária
Published: June 2023

It has been known for decades that in a given year and in a given country, with the rise in lifetime income, life expectancy also rises. The difference between the richest and the poorest stratas' life expectancies is called the longevity gap. Recently, as the gap has generally been growing, it has received more and more attention. The issue is important in itself, but it has also an obvious impact on redistribution in the pension system: the greater the longevity gap, the greater is the redistribution from the low benefit pensioners to the high benefit ones in a given pension system. Econometrically estimating the life expectancy-income function may help the analysis. In our short study, first we give a simple estimation, and then we show the influence of the estimate on the redistribution.
Determinants of domestic value added in exports of the EU countries
Authors: Kittová Zuzana , Steinhauser Dušan , Drieniková Kristína
Published: June 2023

Economies, including the European Union, face the risk of losing ability to maintain their competitive positions on the global scale and of related inability to generate value added up to satisfactory degree. We therefore examine factors assumedly having positive impact on the domestic value added in exports, as a recently introduced key indicator of country's export competitiveness, reported in the TiVA database. The main aim of our paper is to test, for the selected countries, the relationships of the domestic value added in exports with the following factors: (1) number of patent applications per million inhabitants, (2) foreign direct investment per capita, (3) business expenditure on research and development as a percentage of GDP and (4) resource productivity as control variable. We prove by panel data analysis that the domestic value added in exports increases with an increase in all deployed independent variables as well as in control variable.
Spatiality in freight transport efficiency
Authors: Boldizsár Adrienn , Mészáros Ferenc , Sipos Tibor
Published: June 2023

The relationship between economic growth and transport sector is an important and popular topic for researchers, but it also has several untapped areas. To ensure continuous economic growth, it is necessary to answer how and to what extent economic sectors contribute to sustainability; what factors or sets of factors can determine freight performance in a country or region; and how it affects the global economy. This study aims to test the presence of spatial dependence. In this research, the authors looked for the spatial relationships between economic activity (GDP) and freight transport performance using spatial econometric models. The results showed that the spatial impact of freight transport performance and GDP significantly influence each other. The intensity calculation shows that the Baltic States have a high intensity in road freight transport, followed by the Central European region. Eastern Europe, including Russia and the Baltics, are prominent players in rail freight. Furthermore, the spatial econometric models have highlighted that a country with high GDP has some sort of "suction" effect on neighbouring countries with lower GDP along with the freight performance. This is especially true for rail freight. In the long run, the outlined results may even support strategic decision-makers in managing the economic impacts of both road and rail freight transport at the regional level.
GESTÃO ESCOLAR DEMOCRÁTICA: O QUE DIZEM AS PERCEPÇÕES DE PROFESSORES DA REDE ESTADUAL DE ENSINO DE SANTA CATARINA
Authors: Zardo-Morescho Sandra Maria , Esquinsani Rosimar Serena Siqueira , Zilli Julcemar Bruno
Published: June 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as percepções de professores pertencentes à rede estadual de ensino de Santa Catarina sobre a gestão escolar democrática. Corresponde a um excerto de pesquisa de Doutorado em Educação, cujo problema circundou as percepções de professores de educação básica da referida rede, sobre a gestão democrática, no cotidiano de suas escolas. A pesquisa se caracteriza como qualitativa e quantitativa, com a análise de dados obtidos a partir da aplicação de questionário online, aos docentes da rede estadual de ensino. Contempla também uma discussão das políticas de governo que regulamentam a gestão escolar na rede estadual, o Decreto nº 1.794/2013 (SANTA CATARINA, 2013) e o Decreto nº 194/2019 (SANTA CATARINA, 2019a). Dentre os referenciais teóricos que sustentam a análise, destaca-se Cury (2007), Vieira (2007), Souza (2009; 2012), Lima (2013), que discutem os conceitos atinentes à gestão democrática; Alves (2019), Palú e Petry (2020), problematizam a democracia liberal, que delimita a gestão democrática nas escolas; e consequentemente, compromete o reconhecimento e a paridade participativa (FRASER, 2002; 2006; 2007) dos docentes. Apesar de os resultados indicarem que a gestão democrática se materializa nas escolas estaduais, existem professores que não a reconhecem, o que pode estar associado às sucessivas políticas de governo, que retardam a efetivação de uma gestão escolar democrática.
Tortuosity quantification of fly ash concrete considering interfacial transition zone
Authors: Miao Lianjuan , Jiao Chujie
Published: June 2023

For concrete materials, durability is closely related to the mass transport property. The tortuosity of concrete material is an important factor accounting for the transport property. In this paper, the tortuosity of concrete is studied by mercury intrusion porosimetry and permeation tests in order to consider the existence of aggregate induced in the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). Tortuosity gained through the corrugated pore structure model and the Katz–Thompson model are compared and analysed to quantify the tortuosity of fly ash concrete. The ITZ was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the effect of aggregate should be considered when studying the tortuosity of concrete materials. With an aggregate value fraction of 43.8%, when considering the ITZ around coarse aggregate, concrete tortuosity is 1.29–16.18 times higher than that of the mortar matrix.

Brecha y desigualdad digital en la educación argentina
Authors: González Fabián Enrique , Arévalo-Wierna Carla
Published: June 2023

El acceso y uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC) guardan cierta relación con el rendimiento académico. La pandemia del covid-19 ha puesto de relieve el desigual acceso a las TIC; muchas niñas, niños y adolescentes no contaron con dispositivos adecuados o con conexión a internet para acceder al material educativo mientras no concurrían a la escuela. En el presente trabajo, se estudia el acceso y uso de tic entre los adolescentes de Argentina, así como la correlación de estas tecnologías con el rendimiento académico. Con datos del operativo Aprender 2016, se obtiene evidencia de un desigual acceso, puesto que una importante proporción de adolescentes no cuenta con acceso a computadoras ni a internet en el hogar. A su vez, se halla que el tipo de uso, la frecuencia y la percepción de dificultad es dispar a lo largo de la población. Un análisis inferencial devela que el acceso y determinados usos de las TIC estas correlacionados con el desempeño académico, trasladando a esta variable la desigualdad encontrada.
Managing anxiety disorders in bipolar patients
Authors: Michel Bourin
Published: June 2023

Anxiety disorders are among the main comorbidities encountered in patients with bipolar disease. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies show an increased prevalence of anxiety pathologies (generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder) in bipolar subjects compared to the frequencies in the general population. Anxiety disorders are not without consequences on the evolutionary course of the mood disorder, including a significant reduction in euthymia time and less sensitivity to conventional medicinal therapies.

Workflow for SNP genotyping using the Hi-Plex method v2
Authors: Besnard Anne-Laure
Published: June 2023

Many research questions in ecology and evolution require balancing sampling strategies between their spatial (how many populations? on which geographical, environmental gradients?), temporal (diachronic approaches), and genomic (how many and which loci?) dimensions. High-throughput molecular biology protocols often offer very good genomic coverage, but this is often only achievable at the expense of other sampling dimensions. This has led to the development of targeted genotyping strategies for SNP locus sets, in addition to whole or reduced genome sequencing strategies. We here present an adaptation of a protocol developed by the University of Melbourne for genotyping rare variants in human oncology to non model species for use in ecology and evolution. Hi-Plex is an amplicon sequencing technique (sensu Meek & Larson 2019) in which all loci are co-amplified in a multiplex reaction before Illumina or Ion Torrent sequencing (we used Illumina). Intermediate steps include dual indexing of individual samples used for demultiplexing.

Esaret ve Utanç: Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Esir Düşen Türk Askerlerin Anı ve Günlükleri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: ÖZBÖLÜK Rıza
Published: June 2023

Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda on binlerce Türk asker esir düşmüştür. Mısır’dan Malta’ya, Rusya’dan Birmanya’ya kadar çok geniş bir coğrafyada yer alan kamplarda uzun yıllar esir olarak tutulan Türk askerlerin vatanlarına dönüşleri, 1922 yılına kadar devam etmiştir. Esirler içerisinde kayda değer bir çoğunluk bu emsalsiz hayat tecrübesini aktarmayı değil sessizliği tercih etmiştir. Dolayısıyla esir düşen asker sayısına nispetle onlardan geriye kalan günlük ve hatıra gibi metinlerin sayısı şaşırtıcı derecede azdır. Esaret binlerce Türk askerin hayat çizgisinde olağanüstü bir tecrübe dönemiydi fakat birbirinin aynısı olan günler bu tecrübeyi kayda geçirme ihtiyacını törpülemişti. Zira dar alanlarda, yıllar boyunca devam eden monoton kamp hayatı, kayda geçirmeye değecek olayların azlığı, not tutmayı gereksiz hale getirmişti. Dolayısıyla bu durum savaştan yıllar sonra anıları yazma işini de olumsuz anlamda etkilemiştir. Kamplarda bulunduğu dönemde günlük ya da not tutma konusunda ısrarlı davranan az sayıdaki esir ise yıllar sonra anılarını kaleme aldığında geçmişte tutulan notlar üzerinde bazı değişiklikler yapma ihtiyacı hissetmiştir. Savaş esirleri doğrudan ifade etmeseler de esir düşmekten dolayı utanç duydukları izlenimi verirler ve kasten esir düşmediklerini ispatlama çabası içindedirler. Hem Osmanlı İmparatorluğu hem de Türkiye Cumhuriyeti kamuoyunun savaşta esir düşen askerlere yönelik pek de müspet olmayan bakışı, esir anılarını sadece geçmişe dair bir tecrübe aktarımı olmaktan çıkarmıştır.
KAROL LIBELT’S PROPHETIC PROJECT OF “SLAVIC PHILOSOPHY” IN A HISTORICAL LITERARY MIRROR
Authors:   Państwowej   Wyższej   Szkoły   Wschodnioeuropejskiej w Przemyślu, Musiał Jan
Published: June 2023

The cultural projects currently attracting the attention of humanists, sometimes with far-reaching political consequences, such as the Three Seas Initiative project, turn out to be older. The aforementioned Three Seas Initiative appears – in its original version – in the broader draft of the Manifesto to the Slavic Nations, submitted by the Polish philosopher Karol Libelt at the Slavic Congress in Prague in 1848 as the final expression of the “Slavic philosophy” he created. The philosopher coupled its idea in a very interesting way with late-romantic Polish literature, but also with the folk literature of the southern Slavs, as he was also exploring aesthetics. Taras Shevchenko was also interested in it. The author proves that – contrary to the opinion of later Ukrainian historians – both Libelt and Shevchenko had similar views, not only aesthetic. This noticeable convergence made the author put forward a hypothesis of the prophetic significance of the aforementioned project in aspects far broader than aesthetic; a hypothesis that may be of interest to both Polish and Ukrainian researchers – historians of literature, as well as ideas for which Slavophilism (as opposed to Pan-Slavism, especially Russian) is still a living concept.

The American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes consensus statement 2022 effectively captures the changing paradigm of modern diabetes care. As emphasized in the guidelines, a person-centered decision cycle focusing on preventing complications and improving quality of life is the driving principle behind modern diabetes management. Other notable features of the document are its emphasis on self-management education, therapeutic behaviour, sleep hygiene, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and weight loss. Focus on individualization of care, social determinants of health, and ethnic variations are pertinent from an Afro-Asian perspective. The “language matters” section is a welcome addition that will help to overcome several barriers in diabetes care.
The Roles of Teachers in Improving Students Islamic Behaviour at SMA Negeri 1 Kasihan
Authors: Ikhram Dewa
Published: June 2023

Islamic behavior is an important foundation for students for their life and future. The current phenomenon is that there are students who have not implemented Islamic behavior yet, such as not attending classes (ditching classes), violating the rules set by the school, and not participating in programs to improve their Islamic behavior, such as tausiyah/dawah and congregational prayers at school. This research aims to find out the Islamic behavior of the students at SMA (Senior High School) Negeri 1 Kasihan, analyze the efforts done by the school in improving the Islamic behavior of its students, and find out the supporting or inhibiting factors faced by the teachers in improving the Islamic behavior of the students. This is descriptive qualitative research using snowball sampling as the data collection technique. Snowball sampling technique is a technique to determine the sample which is initially small in number so that the number of the sample becomes bigger. Phenomenology is used as a research model. The findings show that the students of SMA N 1 Kasihan have proven to have better Islamic behavior.
The Effect of Self-Regulated Learning on Academic Procrastination in Hafidz Qur'an Students
Authors: Nurhayati Binti
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of self- regulated learning on academic procrastination among students memorizing the Quran at PPTQ Al Hamra' Yogyakarta. Ideally, students memorizing the Quran should have self-regulated learning so that the level of academic procrastination is low. However, the reality is that many students who are memorizing the Quran have not been able to provide regulations for themselves, so the level of academic procrastination is high. Survey research employs a quantitative approach. The population of this study was 66 people. Purposive sampling was used, and 40 samples were collected. Data collection techniques use questionnaires and documentation. Data analysis techniques use simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the determination coefficient value was 66.8%, which means that the influence that self-regulated learning has on the academic procrastination of students in PPTQ Al Hamra' is 66.8%. The value of the regression coefficient is -0.874, which means that the negative self-regulated learning inhibitor of academic procrastination is strong.

Background: Peripartum or obstetric hysterectomy is the removal of the corpus uteri alone or with the cervix at the time of a caesarean section or shortly after a vaginal delivery. On one hand, it is the last resort to save a woman's life and on the other hand, her reproductive capability is sacrificed. Many times it is a very difficult decision and requires good clinical judgment. Most of the time the operation is carried out when the condition of patient is too critical to withstand the risks of anesthesia or surgery, but proper timing and meticulous care may reduce or prevent maternal complications.
Methods: The study is prospective study and was conducted on cases of peripartum emergency hysterectomy performed at PDZH, Udaipur, during the period from April 2021 to October 2022.
Results: Our study depicts following results on the basis of 31498 deliveries during the study period (April 2021 to October 2022), so the overall incidence of peripartum hysterectomy is 1 in 1049 (0.095%). Incidence of hysterectomy following vaginal delivery found to be 0.15%, whereas following caesarean incidence found to be 0.24%.
Conclusions: Increase in caesarean section rates may lead to a rise in the number of peripartum hysterectomies required in the future because of increased chances of scar dehiscence and morbidly adherent placenta and Thus, there is a need for institutions to reassess their indication for first caesarean section to decrease the incidence of caesarean sections.

Published: June 2023

Background: Dyeing of hair for various reasons is a common practice across a broad age group. Most hair dyes available in the market contain para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and/or ammonia, which are proven skin and scalp irritants. A quest for better tolerable hair dyes has led to emergence of toluene-2, 5-diamine sulfate (TDS) and monoethanolamine (MEA), as a substitute to PPD and ammonia, respectively.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 35 participants from four centers across India to evaluate the efficacy, and tolerance of ammonia-free and PPD-free permanent hair dye.
Results: A PPD-free and ammonia-free cream-based hair dye showed promising results. The color uptake following 35 minutes of application was 100% in 54.2% of the participants. The color retention was more than 95% in 74.3% participants after 8-10 shampoo washes. The adverse effects were noted to be markedly less with only a few cases experiencing itching. The participants' feedback obtained showed a conclusively high satisfaction rate. The Physicians' assessment of efficacy and safety recorded favorable scores.
Conclusions: A TDS and MEA based cream hair color can be an effective and safe alternative to PPD and ammonia-based hair dye.

A residência médica pode estar associada a fatores de estresse elevado, sendo capaz de influenciar na qualidade de vida e na saúde mental destes profissionais. Este estudo visou analisar indicadores de qualidade de vida e de saúde mental de médicos residentes através de uma pesquisa quantitativa com coleta de dados online. Para o recrutamento dos participantes, utilizou-se o método snowball. Participaram 141 médicos residentes de diversas regiões do Brasil, que responderam um questionário de dados sociodemográficos, a Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - DASS-21 e o The World Health Organization Quality of Life - WHOQOL-bref. Os participantes apresentaram sintomas moderados de estresse e depressão, mas mínimo de ansiedade. Entre o WHOQOL-bref e DASS-21, o estresse possuiu correlação negativa moderada com os domínios físico, psicológico e social, evidenciando que os residentes com menores níveis de estresse possuem maior equilíbrio emocional, físico e social. A depressão apresentou correlação negativa forte com o domínio físico e psicológico, indicando que quanto menos sintomas de depressão maior bem-estar físico e psicológico. Os resultados obtidos podem servir para propiciar reflexões e intervenções futuras diante da problemática.

En el presente trabajo fueron obtenidos morteros con geopolímero a partir de suelos degradados de la actividad minera como proceso de economía circular. Para ello, se realizó inicialmente una clasificación granulométrica del suelo degradado que permitió obtener partículas con tamaños menores a 750 µm, las cuales fueron utilizadas en la mezcla como agregados finos. Para la fase cementante, se utilizaron mezclas de suelo degradado con tamaños menores a 45 µm (obtenido mediante un proceso de molienda del agregado fino) y ceniza volante (con tamaño < 45 µm), activadas alcalinamente. El tamaño de partícula de los suelos fue determinado por difracción láser. Además, se realizó una evaluación química de los precursores de geopolímero mediante Fluorescencia de rayos X y se utilizó la microscopia electrónica de barrido tanto para el análisis de los suelos como de los morteros con geopolímero fabricados; también se realizaron pruebas de densidad y resistencia a la compresión. Los resultados obtenidos indican la obtención partículas de suelo molido con tamaños menores a 45 µm en porcentajes mayores al 91,7%, las cuales presentaron un alto contenido de aluminosilicatos: SiO2 (81,7 % en peso) y Al2O3 (12,51 % en peso). Además, se observó una morfología de granos irregulares y bastones en los morteros con geopolímeros desarrollados.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital aortic valve anomaly and affects approximately 1%–2% of the population. Individuals with BAVs have higher risks of valvular dysfunction, endocarditis, and ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection than individuals with tricuspid aortic valves.
We report a fatal outcome of ascending aortic aneurysm in a women patient with bicuspid aortic valve complited to aortic sténosis. The patient was qualified for elective surgery of replacement of the affected aorta with composite aortic valve-supracommissural ascending aorta. Unfortunately, patient ended up fatally during the open heart surgery.
Congenital BAV are common and in most cases remain undetected, BAVs may progress and become calcied, thus leading to varying degrees of severity of aortic stenosis. The thoracic aortic aneurysm in BAV frequently involves the proximal aorta, including the aortic root, ascending aorta, and aortic arch. While the ascending aortic aneurysm might be affected by both aortopathy and hemodynamics. Our patient, regrettably, was not diagnosed on time with BAV, thus preventive measures were not applied on him can avoid its serious consequences.
