OFFICIALS’ OF THE STATE BORDER GUARD PROFESSIONAL INTERACTION WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF OTHER CULTURES, POSSIBLE OBSTACLES AND COMPLICATIONS
Authors: Soboļeva Diāna , Dervinika Sandra
Published: February 2025

In the performance of their official duties, SBG officials come into contact with representatives of other cultures on a daily basis. In order to effectively perform official duties, each SBG official needs not only to know the characteristics and peculiarities of other cultures, but also to be able to apply this knowledge in communication. The purpose of the research was to examine possible peculiarities of communication of State Border Guard officials with representatives of different cultures, to identify factors that influence effective communication, as well as to propose possible solutions to the problem. In order, to achieve the goal, the authors of the article set the following tasks: to study the literature on the peculiarities of communication with representatives of different cultures, to study the external and internal normative acts that determine the principles of communication of State Border Guard officials with representatives of other cultures, as well as, based on the obtained information, to draw conclusions and develop proposals for effective intercultural communication. In order to achieve the set objective, the following research methods were applied: literature research method, analysis method, descriptive method, statistical and data processing method. As part of the study, the authors concluded that there are several cultures in the world with certain distinctive characteristics, because each group of society and representatives of different religions have their own beliefs, language, symbols, ideas and values. The authors also concluded that SBG officials need to know the main features of other cultures in order to be able to create effective communication, as well as to avoid conflict situations during it. In order to improve the intercultural communication of SBG officials, the authors propose to put emphasis on the ethical norms, as well as the observance of the principles of non-discrimination and equality, in the performance of official duties. The authors of the article consider that the intercultural communication skills of SBG officials should be developed within the framework of the training/study programs implemented by SBG, placing emphasis on the role play of various practical situations.
La Iberia “despoblada” y el papel potencial de los pequeños núcleos urbanos: una aproximación metodológica / The “depopulated” Iberian Peninsula and the potential role of small urban centres: a methodological approach
Authors: Méndez García Benjamín , Morales Matos Guillermo
Published: February 2025

Se aborda en este artículo el problema del vaciamiento demográfico que afecta a amplias áreas de la Península Ibérica. Un complejo proceso que lleva a la pérdida de vitalidad e incluso al abandono de un número importante de núcleos de población. Se estudia a escala municipal, atendiendo a la densidad y evolución reciente de la población, y relacionando el mapa resultante con la malla de entidades singulares de población de más de 2.000 habitantes; asimismo, se dedican epígrafes específicos a dos regiones especialmente afectadas de la España interior (Aragón y Castilla y León). Se parte de la idea de que el vaciamiento es el resultado de una determinada forma de adaptación del poblamiento histórico, donde el desarrollo urbano contrasta con el estancamiento del medio rural. En ese proceso, las entidades de población que ocupan el nivel inferior de la jerarquía urbana (pequeñas ciudades, villas y cabeceras comarcales) están llamadas a ser los vectores para mantener vivos los amplios espacios en situación demográfica crítica. De ahí que se proponga un listado de aquéllas que por su situación geográfica podrían ser objeto de atención para frenar el despoblamiento. Con todo, se trata de una propuesta metodológica, por lo que también se sugieren diversas vías para profundizar en el problema.

Published: February 2025

АIM of the work is to study the effect of taking dehydroepiandrosterone on the dynamics of hormonal status and ovarian reserve indicators in older women of reproductive age with reduced ovarian reserve, as well as to assess the frequency of pregnancy and childbirth in this group of women.
METHODS. 118 women of older reproductive age with reduced ovarian reserve were included in the study. All patients underwent a study of the hormonal status on the 2-3 day of the menstrual cycle of FSH, LH, estradiol, prolactin, AMH, inhibin B, as well as folliculometry. Next, DHEA was prescribed 75 mg per day and hormonal status was monitored after 3, 6 and 8 months of administration, as well as folliculometry. After the course of treatment, data were collected to assess the frequency of pregnancy.
RESULTS: Taking DHEA 75 mg for 8 months significantly more often led to a decrease in gonadotropin levels, FSH 9.91 [8.60; 10.90], LH 7.63 [6.40; 8.60] and an increase in estradiol 90.22 [78.90; 107.60] (p30.001). As a result of taking this drug, a significant improvement in ovarian reserve indicators was noted, which was expressed in the dynamics of laboratory parameters of AMH 1.08 [0.76; 1.40], inhibin B 98.38 [88.60; 111.40] (p30.001), as well as ultrasound criteria: an increase in the number of antral follicles to 6-7 according to the results of folliculometry. There was a significant decrease in the frequency of menstrual disorders against the background of taking DHEA according to this scheme to 29.2% (26/118). The onset of pregnancy was noted in 31.3% of women (37/118). Spontaneous pregnancy was noted in 62.1% (23/37), in 37.8% (14/37) pregnancy was achieved with IVF. In 70.2% (26/37) of women, pregnancy ended with the birth of healthy children. The frequency of spontaneous termination of pregnancy in this group was 29.7% (11/37).
CONCLUSION: Taking DHEA at a dosage of 75 mg per day for 8 months in women of older reproductive age with reduced ovarian reserve is accompanied by positive dynamics of ovarian reserve indicators and increases the likelihood of a desired pregnancy.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND: during pregnancy, 2 out of 100 women have abnormal cytological results of the cervix, which are similar to the results of non-pregnant peers. Only if an invasive process is suspected, a histological examination of the tumor biopsy is indicated. In general, cervical biopsy during pregnancy is rarely performed, according to strict indications, by an experienced specialist, often in a hospital setting.THE AIM is to evaluate the features of cervical biopsy during pregnancy.METHODS28 patients took part in the work. To achieve this goal, the researchers divided them into 2 groups: 13 patients who underwent cervical biopsy during pregnancy (group 1), and 15 women who underwent cervical biopsy outside pregnancy (group 2). The authors analyzed the indications and techniques of surgery in patients of the studied groups, and drew conclusions. Based on the data obtained, a comparative statistical analysis was carried out using Microsoft Excel. The Pirsen criterion was used to assess statistical significance. The data were considered statistically significant at p 0.05.RESULTSThe group of pregnant women included 13 people with an average age of 35.15 years and a gestation period of 18.83 weeks. According to the results of morphological examination of cervical biopsies: CIN 1-2 (2-26%), CIN 1 and CIN 3 (1 – 7.7%), CIN 2-3 (2 - 26%) CIN 3 (3 – 39%), CIN 3 with transformation into CIS (2 - 26%), nothing (3- 39%); dyskeratosis (5), focal productive cervicitis (9), cysts (3), glandular cystic variant of cervical ectopia (1), nothing (2). The non-pregnant group consisted of 15 women with an average age of 37.2 years. According to the results of morphological examination of cervical biopsies: CIN 1 – 4 (26.6%), CIN 2 – 7 (46.6%), CIN 3 – 4 (26.6%), leukoplakia and focal productive cervicitis – 14 (93.3%), flat cоndyloma – 1 (6.6%), without signs of fragments of unchanged mucosa – 2 (13.3%).CONCLUSIONThe technique of performing a cervical biopsy during pregnancy is characterized by the absence of anesthesia, the frequent use of spot biopsy (instead of multifocal), the absence of curettage of the cervical canal and longer hemostasis.

Published: February 2025

In Russia, 2024 was marked by active promotion of the introduction of sport into the everyday life of the population. Today, about 70 million people in the country are engaged in physical culture and sports, children's and youth sports are being widely developed, and a large number of new sports facilities are being built across Russia. More and more young athletes are entering professional sports.
The study of the consequences of the impact of prolonged and intensive physical exertion on the reproductive health of young female athletes is an urgent problem for obstetrician-gynaecologists.
There is no doubt that the age of the beginning of regular training can have a significant impact on menstrual cycle (MC) disorders. Early exposure of the body to intense physical activity, especially during the onset of puberty, can adversely affect the hormonal regulation of the reproductive system of adolescent girls. During adolescence, it is extremely important to balance exercise and rest to avoid overexertion and energy deficiency.
We wondered which sports have the greatest impact on the disruption of menstrual function (MF) and the development of further adverse effects on the female body.
The search showed that the topic of female professional sports started to be actively studied about 25-30 years ago. Over the years, a large number of studies have been published on the reproductive health of female athletes. Unfortunately, these studies had a narrow focus on age and a small number of participants. These peculiarities do not allow us to conduct systematic review studies or meta-analyses on pubertal and early reproductive groups in different sports.
Having searched PubMed and eLibrary citation databases, we did not find any contemporary (not older than 5 years) studies that could answer our questions. It was decided to analyse the data of the world literature and to identify sports in which young girls should be more often seen by a gynaecologist and possibly have a precision approach.

Published: February 2025

This research aims to describe the application of inclusive values ​​in Al-Islam and Muhammadiyah learning at Muhammadiyah University of Kuningan. This qualitative research or case study, namely an in-depth investigation, was carried out through a field research procedure (field research) that used descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people, observable behavior, and emerging phenomena. The research subjects or informants were Al-Islam and Muhammadiyah students and lecturers. The data collection technique is observation, and the data analysis uses an inductive thinking approach. The results of the research show that at the Muhammadiyah University of Kuningan, AIK learning activities have not fully implemented inclusive values, one of which is that non-Muslim students are still obliged to take part in Islamic courses and activities. Therefore, this study suggests that lecturers and students can apply inclusive values ​​through Al-Islam and Muhammadiyah learning activities so that through the introduction of religious learning, students can implement them in their daily lives, both inside and outside of the university environment.

Authors: Pardono Pardono , Nurmalasari A I , Nurfiansyah P Harsono M. Mumtazul Fikri
Published: February 2025

The high industrial demand for mint products, coupled with low domestic production, has led to a 63% import dependency. Enhancing mint production requires optimizing planting media and fertilization strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different soil-to-husk charcoal ratios and manure types on the growth and yield of mint (Mentha spicata L.). A factorial experiment was conducted from February to April 2022 at the Faculty of Agriculture, UNS, using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two factors: The first factor was soil-to-husk charcoal ratios consisting of 1 to 3, 1 to 1, and 3 to 1. The second factor was the manure type, which consisted of cow, goat, and chicken manure. Each treatment was replicated four times. The results showed that the P1 combined with the cow manure significantly increased the number of branches compared to P1 with goat manure. P1 also resulted in the highest number of leaves, leaf area, fresh weight, and dry weight. Cow manure yielded the highest values for leaf number, leaf area, and dry weight among manure treatments. These findings suggest that optimizing planting media composition and manure selection can enhance mint productivity, reducing reliance on imports.

Determinants of economic growth in Honduras: Regression analysis
Authors: Villela Roldan , Paredes Juan Jacobo
Published: February 2025

This research aims to evaluate the relationship between various determinants of economic growth and real GDP in Honduras from 1990 to 2020. Using regression analysis across four groups (models) of determinants, this study employs time series data extracted from World Bank online databases. The first model, focused on economic sectors comprising GDP according to the value-added method, reveals that industry, services, and agriculture have a positive and significant relationship with real GDP. The second model, covering key determinants, indicates that only infrastructure and labor force show a positive and significant relation with economic growth. The third model, focusing on education, shows a positive and significant correlation between tertiary school enrollment and real GDP, while primary school enrollment exhibits a negative and significant correlation with economic growth. The fourth model encompasses non-economic determinants, with findings revealing that Voice and Accountability, Political Stability, and Rule of Law have a negative and significant relationship with economic development, whereas Government Effectiveness and Control of Corruption are positively and significantly associated with economic growth. Overall, most determinants prove inconsequential or show a negative relationship with economic growth. The findings highlight the complexity of fostering economic growth in Honduras, where traditional growth factors like education and governance show varied effects. Strategic investments in tertiary education, infrastructure, and institutional effectiveness could drive positive outcomes. These insights suggest that growth strategies in Honduras and similar contexts require targeted, multifaceted approaches.

Published: February 2025

This study employs ROPMIS modeling to evaluate the effectiveness of railway stations in Indonesia. In Indonesia, railways serve as a primary mode of transportation, and improving customer satisfaction can encourage the community to utilize public transportation as a means of addressing traffic congestion. However, research studies on the determinants of Indonesian railway performance using ROPMIS (resource, outcome, process, management, image, and social responsibility) are limited. Therefore, this present study aims to explore the determinants of customer satisfaction with railway stations in Indonesia using ROPMIS modeling. The data were obtained through questionnaires directed to railway customers and further analyzed using structural equation modeling. The finding of this study confirms that the ROPMIS modeling, including resource, outcome, process, management, image, and social responsibility, has a significant effect on customer satisfaction. The findings can be used to enhance the overall performance of railways in Indonesia. This study offers a novel model of relating how passenger satisfaction can promote railway performance in Indonesia. The findings of this investigation make a robust contribution to raising scholarly discourse on satisfaction and organizational performance. From a practical perspective, the paper can serve as a valuable guide for organizations such as PT. KAI Persero, helping them to enhance customer satisfaction and optimize train station performance in Indonesia.
Rereading a theory: Does the income level of countries affect the consumer behavior?
Authors: Greene William H , Hatamerad Saman , Oskoui Haleh Raiszadeh , Asgharpur Hossian , Adrangi Bahram
Published: February 2025

This study examines how income levels influence consumer behavior, particularly through the lens of Duesenberry’s relative income and ratchet effect hypotheses. Duesenberry's "ratchet effect" refers to the tendency for individuals to maintain their consumption levels at a higher level once they have reached a certain standard of living, even when their income falls, meaning they are less likely to cut back on spending significantly during economic downturns, similar to how a ratchet only allows movement in one direction; once consumption increases, it is difficult to reverse it downwards easily. The ratchet effect suggests that consumers are resistant to reducing their consumption levels despite decreases in income, as past consumption serves as a psychological baseline. We analyze these hypotheses across two distinct groups: middle-income countries (Brazil, Senegal, Kenya, Jordan) and high-income countries (Japan, Germany, Sweden, Belgium). Using time series data from 1970 to 2020, we employ an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model along with panel data regression to analyze 20 middle-income and 20 high-income countries from 1980 to 2018.  Our findings confirm the ratchet effect in middle-income countries, where consumption patterns are strongly influenced by prior income levels, suggesting a persistent upward consumption bias even during economic downturns. However, in high-income countries, the ratchet effect exhibits inconsistent applicability, potentially due to higher income stability, stronger safety nets, and differing consumer priorities. These discrepancies highlight the varied behavioral responses to economic fluctuations based on income levels and societal norms.

Authors: Rahman Mahfujur , Islam Md Raishul
Published: February 2025

This project presents a smart, economical, and accessible traffic control system that utilizes RFID technology, Node MicroController Unit (NodeMCU), internet connectivity, and Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) to effectively monitor and manage vehicle flow at road intersections. It is specifically designed to address the mounting urban traffic issues in Bangladesh, a densely populated and rapidly urbanizing country. The surge in the number of vehicles has overwhelmed conventional traffic management methods, often hampered by enforcement gaps and noncompliance with regulations, resulting in persistent congestion and inefficiencies. The proposed system uses RFID to detect vehicles and assess traffic density in real time, enabling dynamic and adaptive traffic signal control. With NodeMCU and internet connectivity, it facilitates streamlined communication and remote supervision, while LEDs provide clear instructions to drivers. By automating traffic regulation, the system reduces reliance on manual operations, mitigating corruption and enhancing enforcement effectiveness. Moreover, it fosters greater adherence to traffic laws by introducing a transparent, technology-driven framework. This innovative traffic management solution not only alleviates congestion but also cultivates a culture of compliance, contributing to the overall improvement of urban transportation networks. Its emphasis on integrating modern technology into traffic control aligns with the principles of sustainable urban development, offering a scalable and transformative approach to addressing Bangladesh's escalating traffic challenges.

This study assessed non-timber forest products utilization in Kwabaktina Forest Reserve, Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State. Data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires, field observations, personal interviews, and focused group discussions. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The majority (54.6%) of the respondents were female, and most were youths (44.3%) between the ages of 18 to 40 years. A greater proportion (63.3%) were married individuals with a low level of education in the study area. The findings revealed that most of the respondents (72.25%) belonged to the household size category of 1-10 and were low-income earners. The findings also identified some available NTFPs in the study area, which include Borassus fruit, Borassus bark, honey, moringa seed, leaves, bush meat, caterpillars, crickets, and Borassus hypocotyls. Hypocotyls were the most preferred NTFPs utilized by the people. The results revealed that NTFPs were utilized to a very high extent due to the high economic value of the products. Gender played a significant role in the utilization of NTFPs, while age, educational status, and household size significantly determined the utilization of NTFPs in the study area. The results also showed no significant difference in the extent to which people utilized NTFPs. The study found that non-timber forest products (NTFPs) provided significant food, employment, income, and livelihood sources in the study areas. The study recommends prioritizing financial and technical support for alternative income-generating ventures, stakeholder involvement in forest resource planning, and economic evaluations of NTFP utilization to optimize their benefits.

Cooperatives play a strategic role as the backbone of Indonesia’s economy, particularly in Sumenep Regency, but still face various challenges in developing and optimizing their role. This study aims to analyze the key factors influencing cooperative development programs and formulate policy priorities to strengthen the role of cooperatives in the community’s economy, especially for their members. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method is used to identify and determine priority weights for various factors and policy alternatives. The analysis results show that there are four main factors influencing cooperative development programs, namely cooperative institutions (weight 32.75%), cooperative business (24.81%), KSP/USP cooperatives (22.28%), and cooperative human resource skills (20.16%). policy priorities for each factor are also identified, with increasing institutional capacity and quality of cooperative services as the highest priority for the cooperative institutions factor, increasing the business capacity of cooperatives and their members for the cooperative business factor, improving the capacity of KSP/USP managers for the KSP/USP cooperatives factor, and enhancing the human resources of cooperative managers and members for the cooperative human resource skills factor. The implementation of targeted policies based on identified priorities is expected to encourage cooperatives to be more adaptive in facing global economic challenges and increase the competitiveness of cooperatives as the pillar of the national economy. This research provides an important contribution to the formulation of comprehensive cooperative empowerment, considering the complexity of challenges and specific needs of the cooperative sector in Sumenep Regency.

Sustainable tourism development is increasingly recognized as vital for balancing economic growth with environmental conservation, particularly in regions like Indonesia, where tourism is a crucial driver of the economy. However, the effectiveness of current public policies in promoting sustainable tourism remains to be determined. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of public policies on sustainable tourism development in Indonesia through a comprehensive systematic literature review. A rigorous selection of studies was conducted using the PICOC (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Context) framework, analyzing successful and underperforming policies. The review identifies significant gaps, including poor policy coordination, stakeholder conflicts, and resource limitations, which hinder the successful implementation of sustainable practices. The findings suggest that enhancing policy integration, increasing stakeholder engagement, and incorporating advanced technologies for better resource management are critical for achieving sustainability goals. The study provides evidence-based recommendations for policymakers to improve Indonesia’s tourism policies’ efficiency and adaptability. These insights are essential for aligning public policies with the sustainable development goals (SDGs), ensuring long-term sustainability in the rapidly expanding tourism sector.

This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal incentives in promoting green investments, focusing on their economic and environmental impacts. Using a Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approach, this study assesses how different forms of fiscal support, including tax credits, subsidies, and accelerated depreciation, influence the efficiency of green investments across multiple sectors. Data is sourced from a global database of green projects with a focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon reduction initiatives. The results suggest that fiscal incentives play a significant role in improving the adoption of sustainable technologies but also highlight inefficiencies in the allocation of these incentives. Recommendations for improving policy design and implementation are discussed, based on findings related to the cost-effectiveness and performance of current green investment strategies.

Optimizations in the Organization and Responsibilities of Local Public Order and Safety Structures Aimed at Improving Service Quality
Authors: Morariu Alunica
Published: February 2025

Our work examines the institutional evolution and transformations that have shaped the local public order and safety structures in Romania, from their establishment, with a focus on improving organization, duties, and the quality of services provided to citizens. We appropriately address the development of the Corps of Public Guards (CPG), initially created for the protection of goods and maintenance of public order, and its transformation into the Community Police, adapted to administrative-territorial units. The governmental motivation for establishing the Community Police, based on efficiency and modernization, is highlighted, and the legal provisions that defined its functioning are analyzed. We then explore the creation of the Local Police as a response to the shortcomings of the Community Police, such as lack of resources and inefficient coordination, presenting the advantages of a stronger legal framework. Examples of good local practices from 2023 illustrate the effective implementation of reforms. Solutions for institutional development and the career management of local police officers are also discussed, through continuous training and adaptation to current requirements. The conclusions emphasize the need for an integrated strategic vision to improve the quality of public services ensuring local public order and safety, and to strengthen citizens' trust in these structures.
(Kontr-)rewolucja oświatowa
Authors: Śliwerski Bogusław
Published: February 2025

Planowanie oświatowe w aspekcie prognoz rozwoju kraju ma u nas charakter stricte ideologiczny, a więc adaptacyjny, czyli taki sam, z jakim mieliśmy do czynienia w okresie PRL. Dominuje tu normatywna funkcja założeń i zasad polityki oświatowej, koncentrująca uwagę władz na określaniu celów i treści kształcenia i wychowania z uwzględnieniem stosunku szkolnictwa do spraw nauczania religii. [...] Po trzydziestu latach transformacji mamy w polskiej polityce oświatowej naprzemienność normatywnych imperatywów władzy politycznej w procesie wychowawczym szkół bez jakiegokolwiek odwołania do Konstytucji III RP [...]. Nie ma zatem w polityce oświatowej ani planowania oświatowego, które musiałoby odbywać się na podstawie naukowych badań i analiz kluczowych dla edukacji czynników, ani prognozowania oświatowego mającego na celu przewidywanie przyszłych zjawisk na podstawie także naukowych danych, gdyż żaden z ministrów nie wie, jak długo będzie mógł realizować  własny (w sensie własnego zaplecza partyjnego) projekt oświatowy.
Ze Wstępu
Autor od wielu lat diagnozuje brak uspołecznienia szkół i stawia tezę, że ostatnio przeprowadzona reforma ma charakter radykalnej zmiany, której celem jest przywrócenie praktykowanych wcześniej rozwiązań, ale również stanowi ona w sferze filozoficzno-ideologicznej zwrot w kierunku konserwatyzmu. Rekonstruuje przebieg zdarzeń prowadzących do tej „kontrrewolucji” oraz dowodzi, że jest to konsekwencja sposobu prowadzenia od trzydziestu lat polityki oświatowej.
Psychologia głębi w opowiadaniu O. Tokarczuk „Skoczek” ze zbioru „Gra na wielu bębenkach”
Authors: Walczak Marta
Published: February 2025

Artykuł stanowi interpretację opowiadania „Skoczek” ze zbioru „Gra na wielu bębenkach” Olgi Tokarczuk. Ponieważ autorka przyznaje, że korzysta z wiedzy psychologicznej, by zrozumieć rzeczywistość („Czuły narrator”), w interpretacji opowiadania pojawiają się pojęcia zaczerpnięte z psychologii głębi, w szczególności z teorii psychologii analitycznej Carla G. Junga. W opowiadaniu przedstawiona jest relacja dwojga dojrzałych ludzi. Kobiety i mężczyzny, którzy kiedyś żywili do siebie głębsze uczucia, teraz natomiast łączą ich jedynie codzienne czynności oraz wspomnienia wspólnej przeszłości. Tokarczuk pokazuje wzajemną złość, żal, niewypowiedzianą urazę panujące w związku. Żadne z bohaterów nie potrafi uwolnić się od Jungowskiego cienia i zakończyć nieszczęśliwy związek. Podczas pobytu nad morzem dochodzi do zaskakującego zdarzenia, jakim jest wyłowienie z morza szachowego konika. Sytuacja interpretowana jest w artykule za pomocą pojęcia synchroniczności, które może być próbą wymuszenia na bohaterach zmiany życiowej sytuacji.
