Authors: Manouchehri Elham , Makvandi Somayeh , Hadizadeh Talasaz Zahra , Azmoude Elham , Larki Mona
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) is effective in several healthcare domains. As of date, there have been no systematic reviews investigating the efficacy of VR technology in episiotomy repair in women. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of using VR on pain, anxiety and satisfaction in women under episiotomy repair. Methods: For the original articles, six databases were searched using relevant keywords without restriction on time or languages until June 6, 2024. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB) and the Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Nonrandomized Studies (RoBANS) were both used to assess the risk of bias in randomized and non-randomized studies, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) also determined the quality of our evidence. All analyses employed Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) V.2. Results: Five randomized clinical trial and two quasi-experimental studies with poor-to high-quality met the inclusion criteria. The VR significantly decreased perineal pain during [MD (95% CI)=-1.622 (-2.598, -0.645), P=0.001], immediately after [MD (95% CI)=-1.931 (-2.785, -1.076), P<0.001], and one hour after [MD (95% CI)=-1.596 (-2.436, -0.765), P<0.001]. It also significantly decreased anxiety [SMD (95% CI)=-1.48 (-2.451, -0.509), P=0.003] after repair. VR group participants were significantly more satisfied than the control group. The quality of was moderate for perineal pain intensity one hour after episiotomy repair and anxiety after episiotomy repair. Conclusion: Given the efficacy of VR on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction, it is suggested that it be utilized as a novel modality to enhance the quality of maternity hospital care.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) continues to be a significant global health issue, necessitating ongoing monitoring of care processes to enhance quality. This study aimed to examine time to treatment delay and clinical indicators in patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with the recruitment of 313 patients with STEMI treated with PPCI Tabriz (Iran) in 2023. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the chi-square test, and regression analysis in SPSS v.13 software. Results: Most of the patients were men and half of them were 60 years old or younger. The median door-to-balloon time [IQR] was 80 [49-140] minutes. The pre-PCI center delay time and treatment delay time were 191 and 310 minutes, respectively. There was a statistically significant association between the patient’s place of residence, the admission type in the PCI center, and the pre-PCI center delay time. In addition, there was a statistically significant association between treatment delay time, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), baseline troponin I level, angioplasty outcome, and receiving acute coronary syndrome (ACS) drugs at the pre-PCI center. Conclusion: The longer pre-PCI center delay time resulted in a longer total treatment delay. To reduce delays, it is proposed to improve the logistics surrounding these procedures for patients with STEMI and to provide appropriate education about the STEMI management program to all stockholders.

Published: December 2024

Background. Considering the few studies on the effect of bleaching protocols on the color properties of a newly developed monochromatic universal composite resin, the present study evaluated the effect of different bleaching protocols on the color change and translucency of Omnichroma (OMN) composite resin. Methods. In this laboratory study, 45 cylindrical OMN composite resin disks with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 2 mm were used. The samples were randomly divided into three groups (n=15) based on the bleaching protocols: group 1: 40% hydrogen peroxide (HP) for 20 minutes, twice a day for three sessions one week apart; group 2: 20% carbamide peroxide (CP) for 8 hours a day, for 14 consecutive days; group 3: 40% HP with Nd:YAG laser (HP+Nd:YAG laser) applied on the gel for 30 seconds twice. Baseline and post-bleaching measurements of color parameters were done using a Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer. Data was analyzed using paired-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and post hoc Tukey tests (P<0.05). Results. All the bleaching protocols significantly changed the color (P<0.001) and translucency (P<0.001) parameters. CP caused the most color changes (P<0.05) and translucency (P<0.05), which were significant, and color and translucency changes caused by HP and HP+Nd:YAG laser were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion. Bleaching caused a noticeable change in the color and translucency of the OMN composite resin. The effect of the at-home bleaching protocol was greater than the in-office ones.
ORGANISATIONS AS AN OBJECT OF THE SYSTEM OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL PROVISION OF FOOD SECURITY
Authors: Galitskaya Natalia V.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of topicality of agricultural and other organisations of the agro-industrial complex to the objects of the system of administrative and legal provision of food security. The purpose of the article is to build a theoretical structure that ensures the inclusion of organisations among security facilities in general and the system of administrative and legal provision of food security in particular, as well as to develop proposals for improving strategic planning documents in this area. The idea of belonging of organisations of the agro-industrial complex to subobjects of food security as part of a more general object – society is formulated. The expediency of correcting strategic planning in the field of food security is justified by means of a special clarification in the relevant doctrine of the list of security facilities to which the individual, society and the state should be attributed. It is proposed to identify agricultural and other organisations related to the agro-industrial complex in the structure of society in this doctrine as a sub-object, which will contribute to an accentuated, including administrative and legal, impact of the state on improving the efficiency of their functioning.
PRIVATE-LAW APPROACH TO THE DEFINITION OF THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
Authors: Aliev Ruslan I.
Published: December 2024

Within the framework of the presented work, the concept of the military-industrial complex is studied from the perspective of the theory of investment law, current investment legislation and special regulatory requirements related to this area. In the doctrine of Russian jurisprudence, there are opposing points of view regarding the definition of the military-industrial complex. Some authors reduce it exclusively to the fulfillment of the state defence order, which is neither a correct formulation, since the state defence order is an integral part of the military-industrial complex, nor its entire component. Other researchers, on the contrary, interpret the military-industrial complex too broadly and include the Russian Ministry of Defence and its institutions, military units, etc. The article concludes that the military-industrial complex has special distinctive (qualifying) features in certain aspects of its private law regulation.
ON THE ISSUE OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE OPERATOR OF THE «UNIFIED REGISTER OF INTERNET ADVERTISING» AS AN ORGANISATION EXERCISING CERTAIN STATE POWERS
Authors: Tselishchev Anton A.
Published: December 2024

In the article, the author points out the problem of the lack of not only legal consolidation, but also a clear understanding of the mechanism of vertical delegation of certain state powers to non-governmental organisations in terms of functioning of a unified information system for advertising accounting in the information and telecommunications world wide web “Internet”. The study found that such a transfer of powers by the Russian communication regulator “Roskomnadzor” to commercial organisations is designed to increase the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and limit illegitimate schemes related to tax evasion. The description of the legal status of the operator of the Unified Register of Internet Advertising is given. In this regard, it is concluded that the status of such an operator has significant similarities with the position of an entity performing publicly significant functions, due to the presence of special legal capacity. In addition, it is assumed that the acquisition of such a status by a non-governmental organisation is carried out by issuing an appropriate order by an authorised state body without concluding a contract to be concluded in order to detail the procedure for exercising the transferred individual state powers, including clarifying the amount of financing and responsibility for improper performance of the contract.

Authors: Ćwiek Małgorzata , Pater Beata , Ulman Paweł
Published: December 2024

The aim of the research is to assess the degree of differentiation of sustainable development in the European Union countries in 2015-2019 and to group EU countries by the level of sustainability. In order to achieve the stated goal, a linear and non-linear ordering of selected variables included in the four orders that constitute sustainable development: social, economic, environmental, as well as institutional and political, was carried out. As a result of linear ordering, four groups of countries were distinguished. The linear ordering procedure was preceded by the construction of a synthetic variable. Ward's hierarchical method, based on Euclidean distance, was used as a non-linear ordering method. The data used in the analysis came from the Eurostat database. The research carried out shows significant inequalities in the level of sustainable development of EU countries. This applies to sustainable development in the integrated approach and to the assessment of individual orders. The rankings of countries in each order differ significantly from each other, and the overall assessment of sustainable development shows the greatest correlation between economic, institutional, and political order. Research results show that the leaders in sustainable development include Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Austria, and Estonia. At the other pole are Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania.

Published: December 2024

Actualmente, las redes sociales han evolucionado de manera exponencial para conseguir diferentes fines como mantener en contacto a un determinado colectivo de personas, transmitir conocimientos personales o asociativos, publicitar productos comerciales, etc. La Oficina de Farmacia no ha quedado ajena a esta realidad y muchas farmacias cuentan con grupos de WhatsApp, perfiles de Instagram, perfiles de X, etc.
La utilización de las redes sociales en el ámbito sanitario ofrece grandes ventajas en la prevención o mejora de la salud, siempre y cuando se utilicen de forma adecuada. En caso contrario, su implantación está cargada de peligros, con repercusión directa en la salud de la población y en la credibilidad de los profesionales o de la profesión en su conjunto. Por ello, antes de utilizar las redes sociales como farmacéutico, hay que realizar un acto de prudencia en el que se sopesen los riesgos y beneficios. Esta prudencia debe dirigirse a procurar aquellas acciones que favorezcan la humanización de la atención y los cuidados sanitarios siendo los ejes principales de la reflexión: el cuidado de la privacidad y la confidencialidad, el mantenimiento de la veracidad en todo el proceso y el sentido de responsabilidad, tanto personal como profesional. En cuanto a la responsabilidad profesional no hay que olvidar aquella contraída con el colectivo profesional al que pertenece el responsable de los contenidos de la red social, ya que el sensacionalismo o la mentira de un farmacéutico en la red perjudica directamente al colectivo farmacéutico.
Enfoques dialógicos para la resolución pacífica de conflictos escolares en la formación presencial del SENA: Estudio en el Centro de Industria y de la Construcción, Regional Tolima
Authors:   , González Canizares Jorge Mario
Published: December 2024

La conflictividad entre pares y los modos violentos de circulación entre estudiantes adolescentes continúan siendo una problemática frecuente en las escuelas latinoamericanas (Banz, 2008, Kaplan, 2020). Si bien en los últimos años se han multiplicado normativas y programas para promover la convivencia escolar, son menos frecuentes las investigaciones que indaguen en profundidad las dinámicas grupales entre estudiantes y sus propias subjetividades en torno a los conflictos interpersonales que atraviesan cotidianamente. En el contexto educativo actual, los conflictos escolares representan un desafío significativo que afecta el bienestar de estudiantes, docentes y el entorno educativo en general. La prevalencia de enfoques tradicionales para abordar estos conflictos ha llevado a la necesidad de explorar e implementar estrategias más efectivas y centradas en el diálogo para la resolución no violenta de estos conflictos. Uno de los desafíos identificados es la falta de herramientas pedagógicas especializadas que promuevan la comunicación abierta, la comprensión mutua y la construcción de soluciones colaborativas en situaciones conflictivas dentro del ámbito escolar. La ausencia de métodos específicos basados en el diálogo podría estar relacionada con el aumento de tensiones, hostilidades y disrupciones, lo cual podría influir negativamente en el clima escolar y el rendimiento académico. En consonancia, se propone analizar, desde una perspectiva cualitativa, los significados, percepciones y posicionamientos que construyen aprendices del Centro de Industria y Construcción (CIC) Regional Tolima del Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje SENA en torno a situaciones de violencia y conflicto con sus pares dentro del ámbito escolar durante el ciclo lectivo 2023. Asimismo, se busca identificar potencialidades y obstáculos a la hora de implementar estrategias dialógicas y no violentas para la resolución de conflictos interpersonales, desde la mirada situada de estos actores escolares. Esta investigación buscará abordar esta brecha identificada, centrándose en el desarrollo e implementación de estrategias dialógicas. Se pretende investigar cómo estas estrategias pueden ser diseñadas e integradas de manera efectiva en el entorno educativo para promover una resolución no violenta de conflictos, fomentando así un ambiente escolar más armonioso y propicio para el aprendizaje. La finalidad es aportar insumos que permitan repensar y mejorar los modos de intervenir pedagógicamente sobre esta problemática, apuntando a la construcción entre todos los miembros de la comunidad educativa de una convivencia más pacífica, democrática e inclusiva.

Published: December 2024

In 2020, the monitoring of the seismic situation in the Crimean-Black Sea region was carried
out by a network of nine digital seismic stations located on the Crimean Peninsula. The catalog includes infor
mation on 88 events with energy classes Kп=4.4–11.3. An updated map of the energy representativeness Kmin of
earthquakes with an increased area within the isolines Kmin=7–8 is presented. The restored observations at the
Kerch station increased the sensitivity of the network in the eastern part of the region. The existing network of
stations provides without gaps the registration of earthquakes with a magnitude of M≥4.0, and for the main seismic
zones: Sevastopol, Yalta, Alushta, Sudak, Kerch Peninsula – with a magnitude of M≥3.0. On the basis of the
information obtained, a catalog of earthquakes with the main kinematic and dynamic parameters was compiled,
an analysis was carried out and the features of seismicity of individual regions of the region were indicated.
A detailed description of the seismic situation in various districts of the region is given. The period under consid
eration is characterized by moderate seismic activity in the region, which is below the long-term average. The
greatest activation of seismic processes was observed in 2020 in the Kerch-Anapa and Northwestern areas. In the
Kerch-Anapa area, two tangible earthquakes with a maximum observed intensity of I=4–5 occurred in five settle
ments on the coast of the Caucasus. An earthquake of the maximum energy class Kп=11.3, moment magnitude
Mw=4.03 was realized on March 15, at 05h36m. The released seismic energy in the Northwestern area in 2020
significantly exceeded the 10-year average. Solutions of focal mechanisms were obtained for the 2 strongest earth
quakes.

On December 12, 2020 at 21h29m GMT, a significant event with KR=12.9, Mw=4.8 occurred on
the territory of the Urus-Martan district of the Chechen Republic. Its epicenter belongs to the area of junction of
the southern side of the Terek-Caspian foredeep with the structures of the northern slope of the Greater Caucasus
and is associated with the Chernogorskaya zone of Possible Earthquake Sources (Mmax=6.5) of the Terek-Sunzha
seismogenic region. The earthquake of December 12, called Chernogorsk-I, was felt in 57 settlements with an
intensity from 2 to 5–6 by MSK-64. Based on the results of macroseismic surveys, the maps of shaking intensity
in populated areas and isoseisms of 5, 4 and 3 points were constructed. The calculated intensity at the epicenter
coincides with the observed one in nearest settlements and amounts to I0=5–6 points. The source was dominated
by compressive stresses oriented submeridionally. The type of movement in the source is a reverse fault along
both planes of sublatitudinal strike. The closeness of orientation of the nodal planes to the Chernogorsky fault
orientation allows us to draw a conclusion about movement along this fault at Chernogorskoe-I earthquake.

Published: December 2024

Health development aims to increase awareness, will and ability to live healthily for everyone in order to achieve the highest possible level of health. Simultaneously with the implementation of health development, various health problems emerged. One of the factors that triggers health problems is the lack of public awareness of clean and healthy living habits. The results of a survey conducted by the community service team in Kota Wetan Village revealed several health problems such as high cases of hypertension and a lack of clean and healthy living behavior. These behaviors include rarely doing physical activity, consuming foods high in sugar, salt and fat. Apart from that, the implementation of Posbindu in Kota Wetan Village is still not optimal. Based on this, the initial level intervention to overcome the above problems is the implementation of posbinndu in each RW. Posbindu can run well if health cadres as posbindu managers have the knowledge and skills in managing posbindu. Taking these problems into account, the agreed intervention was the implementation of training for health cadres in optimizing the role of health cadres as posbindu managers. The aim of the activity is to increase the knowledge and abilities of health cadres in managing posbindu. The results of the activity showed that the average knowledge value before the activity was 61 points and the average value after the activity was 89 points. There was an increase in knowledge after health education was carried out by 28 points. The follow-up plan for this activity is that it is hoped that the Guntur Community Health Center will be able to carry out training activities for cadres on a regular basis. It is hoped that Kota Wetan Village will continue to provide support, so that the programs that have been implemented will continue to run

Mechanical seeding quality is a key factor affecting the yield of maize in stubble fields. To choose for high-performance seeders and determine the appropriate operating speed, comparative sowing tests were conducted using spoon-wheel seeders, lightweight and heavyweight finger-clip seeders, and air-suction seeders in six districts of Shandong Province. Three working speeds, low speed, medium speed and high speed, were set up to determine the qualified rate of plant spacing, the consistency of plants height and the yields under different working speeds. The results showed that the qualified plant spacing rate, plants height consistency, and yield of the spoon-wheel and lightweight finger-clip seeders were significantly affected by the operating speed, decreasing as the speed increased. At high speeds, the qualified plant spacing rates were less than 80%, and plants height consistency were less than 85%. Heavyweight finger-clip and air-suction seeders' qualified plant spacing rates, plants height consistency, and yields were not significant affected by the operating speed, remaining stable across different speeds and significantly higher than those of the spoon-wheel and lightweight finger-clip seeders. The differences in qualified plant spacing rates and plants height consistency were more significant at higher speeds, along with obvious yields increase advantage. The yields increase ranged from 3.50% to 7.84% at low speeds, 4.32% to 9.31% at medium speeds, and 7.64% to 11.65% at high speeds. This study provides a reference for the selection of high-performance planters for maize in stubble fields and the determination of suitable operating speeds.
