Background and objectives: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms, affecting more than 75% of people. It is a subjective lack of physical or mental energy. The goal of the study was to assess persistent fatigue among patients Post-COVID-19 in Erbil city. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a private clinic and home for patients in Erbil city. A nonprobability-purposive sample was selected for 300 Post-covid patients. Data was collected through interviews using a questionnaire, and a modified fatigue impact scale was used to assess patients’ fatigue in post-COVID-19. Results: The results show that one third (31.7%) of the study samples were older than 50 years, and more than half (52.3%) were males, less than one third (28.3%) graduated from an institute, and more than one third (32.3%) were housewives. The majority of the samples (84.7%) lived in areas, and almost all the samples (81.7%) were married. Most of the samples (73.0%) without comorbidity disease about 75.3 were overweight, and the samples (83.0%) were not hospitalized during COVID-19, about more than half (67.0%) were not received oxygen. Less than half (46.3%) of the samples have physical fatigue, and more than half (63.7%) have mild mental fatigue. There was a significant association between fatigue and gender, hospitalization, and receiving oxygen during COVID-19 at P-value ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that the participants have physical and mental fatigue and physical and mental fatigues are decreasing by increasing the duration of illness from the first to the sixth month. A significant difference was found between fatigue and the female gender.
Romancing "Yesenia" How a Mexican Melodrama Shaped Global Popular Culture
Authors: Salazkina Masha
Published: March 2024

This book follows the production, transnational circulation, and reception of the highest grossing film in the history of Soviet exhibition, the 1971 Mexican romance "Yesenia". The film adaptation of a telenovela based on a wildly popular graphic novel set during the Second Franco-Mexican War became a surprise hit in the USSR, selling more than ninety million tickets in the first year of its Soviet release alone. Drawing on years of archival research, renowned film scholar Masha Salazkina takes "Yesenia"’s unprecedented popularity as an entry point into a wide-ranging exploration of the cultures of Mexico and the Soviet Union in the 1970s and of the ways in which popular culture circulated globally. Paying particular attention to the shifting landscape of sexual politics, Romancing “Yesenia” argues for the enduring importance and ideological ambiguities of melodramatic forms in global popular media.
Polyembryony and morpho-genetic characterisation of zygotic seedlings through microsatellite markers in ten polyembryonic citrus rootstocks
Authors: Sidhu Gurupkar Singh , Dhaliwal Harkirat Singh , Gaikwad Popat Nanaso , Vishal
Published: March 2024

Morpho-genetic characterisation of zygotic and nucellar seedlings of 10 citrus rootstocks was carried out to know the degree of polyembryony. 'Volkameriana' rootstock had maximum fruit and seed weight. Polyembryony, number of embryos per seed and clutch size was highest in 'Katazamir'.
However, the seeds of 'Schaoub' took minimum days to germinate while 'Cleopatra' took maximum days. Significant positive correlation was observed between percent polyembryony and average number of embryos per seed, seed weight and number of seeds per fruit. Twenty SSR primers were utilised
for detection of zygotic seedling from all rootstocks. None of the individual primers used in this study were able to consistently identify zygotic seedlings in all rootstocks tested. The maximum (26.7%) zygotic seedlings were identified in 'Katazamir' and minimum (5.0%) in 'X-639' rootstocks.
There was not a significant correlation between seedling height and zygotic and nucellar seedlings, identified with SSR markers. Therefore, seedling height cannot be taken as a criteria to identify the nucellar and zygotic seedlings.
Herding Behavioral Motivation conducted by Coronial Investors: Study on Indonesian Stock Exchange’s
Authors: Nuranyanto Akhmad , Raharja Surya
Published: March 2024

The objective of this research is to determine whether periods of market down- turn are accompanied by herding behavior among investors. During the Covid-19 pandemic, not only the stock market but also the number of investors in the Indonesian capital market increased significantly. The increase in new investors is also accompanied by an increase in herding behavior, as these new investors have limited experience and literacy in investing in the capital market. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling, with a total of 196 investor samples collected. The analysis method used was Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square. The research findings indicate that investor cognitive psychology and market information influence herding behavior among investors. However, stock characteristics do not affect herding behavior. Socio-economic factors moderate the influence of investor cognitive psychology and market information.

Authors: Pratiwi Adhitya Putri , Ruhiyat Endang , Holiawati Holiawati
Published: March 2024

This study examines the effects of the pyramid structure and disclosure of related party transactions on acts of expropriation in family companies with the independent commissioner’s control as a moderation. This research is a type of quantitative research. This research uses secondary data from annual reports from 31 family companies in 2017- 2018. The data analysis techniques in this research are descriptive statistics, panel data regression analysis, and moderated regression analysis. The study finds that the pyramid structure does not affect expropriation, while disclosure of related party transactions has a negative effect on expropriation. The interaction test shows that the mediator variable could not mediate the pyramid structure and expropriation. Conversely, the moderating variable is able to moderate the disclosure of related party transactions and expropriation. The results of this research can provide input to policymakers to tighten regulations regarding protection for minority shareholders. In addition, the results of this research will add to the government’s references in expanding rules related to the disclosure of related party transactions, especially regarding the supervision of related party transactions carried out by companies.

Published: March 2024

This research aims to design a hybrid work model with a task-characteristic autonomy job design. Remote work or Work from Anywhere (WFA) is widely used, as the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated this method. For some people, the WFA method is enjoyable because it can provide freedom to organize work methods, allowing for high work autonomy. However, some people also feel that working remotely creates a feeling of isolation and boredom and reduces job satisfaction. The hybrid method will increase work autonomy, work-life balance, and job satisfaction. This research is aimed at employees in Jakarta and surrounding areas who can work hybrid. The research population is difficult to calculate, so the sampling method is purposive, and the sampling technique is convenience method. Hypothesis testing was done using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research results prove that applying the hybrid method can significantly increase job satisfaction by fully mediating the task characteristic autonomy and the work-life balance variables. Therefore, applying the Hybrid method is an option because, in the next decade, the world of work will increasingly be dominated by Gen Y and Gen Z.

Published: March 2024

Undoubtedly, information and communication technologies have rapidly developed, becoming an essential part of adolescents' lives. This progress has been further accelerated by the restrictive measures to mitigate COVID-19 transmission. However, beyond the benefits offered by the digital world, there is a wide range of phenomena that impact the development and mental health of individuals. Consequently, this study aimed to assess the levels of cyberbullying among adolescents from a public institution in Santander, Colombia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample consisted of 77 adolescents. The research employed a quantitative approach, with a descriptive scope, a non-experimental design, and a convenience non-probabilistic sampling method. It was identified that the majority of the participants had a higher incidence in the role of cyber observers. Statistically significant differences were found between the study variables and the levels of cyberbullying. These findings both align with and diverge from what is established in the scientific literature. Therefore, it is suggested that further studies delve into the intricacies of the phenomenon and implement monitoring programs to reduce online violence.

La configuración dialógica en Petra regalada, de Antonio Gala
Authors: Venegas Carvajal Steven
Published: March 2024

The Spanish drama text Petra regalada, by Antonio Gala is addressed here. The main objective is to explain how a dialogic tension is configured by appealing to common law to affirm the discursive values of a social group through discursive mechanisms that make possible the liberation of the consciences of the subjects represented there. To support this analysis, we start with the concept of literature as an ideological sign through the notions of dialogism and third interpreter, developed in the works of Mijaíl Bakhtin, as well as the theory of paratexts by Gerard Genette.

Authors: Yao Zhoubo , Liang Yayu , Zhan Peng , Shao Lishu , Wu Zhiping
Published: March 2024

In this study, a nonionic surfactant (JFC-M) was used as an additive for hydrothermal pretreatment of crushed poplar wood. The pseudo-lignin extracted from holocellulose after hydrothermal pretreatment was characterized, and the composition of liquid and solid fractions obtained after pretreatment at different experimental conditions was analyzed. The results showed that the addition of JFC-M surfactant accelerated the dissolution of biomass cellulose and effectively inhibited the production of pseudo-lignin in hydrothermal processes, under the same hydrothermal pretreatment conditions. The pseudo-lignin yield for the control group was 14.2% (no JFC surfactant added), whereas when the JFC-M concentration was 2%, the pseudo-lignin yield was 9.8%.
Analysis of economic and mathematical models of monetary stimulation for the development of smart industry
Authors:   Institute of Industrial Economics of NAS of Ukraine, Lohvinenko Bohdan
Published: March 2024

Abstract The article considers economic and mathematical models in the context of monetary stimulation of financial and economic development of the smart industry. The article analyses AD-AS, DSGE, VAR, CAPM, RBC, Phillips Curve and Cobb-Douglas models. The advantages and disadvantages of the models in the context of monetary stimulation of smart industry development are identified. The analysis has revealed that all the considered models have certain disadvantages, such as complexity of use and lack of clarity in interpreting the results, as well as limited consideration of factors that are important in monetary stimulation of the smart industry. The reviewed VAR model is limited in taking into account all factors affecting economic variables and is sensitive to specification, which leads to significant changes in the final results depending on the included variables and their specification. The CAPM model is based on assumptions about market efficiency that do not always correspond to reality, while the RBC model is characterised by the absence of instability and unrealistic assumptions about market behaviour. The Phillips Curve model shows instability when inflation and unemployment respond to economic shocks in different ways, which is unacceptable in the context of monetary stimulation for the development of the smart industry. The analysis identified the advantages and disadvantages of all models, which allowed us to objectively assess the actual conditions of the models. The analysis has shown that, given the above shortcomings and the specifics of the current economic environment, the Cobb-Douglas model is the most effective for analysing and forecasting the development of the smart industry in Ukraine. The other models considered may also be useful for stimulating the development of the smart industry, but they do not provide the same flexibility and ease of use as the Cobb-Douglas model. Thus, given the specifics of monetary policy, the Cobb-Douglas model seems to be the most appropriate tool for analysing and forecasting monetary stimulus for the development of the smart industry in Ukraine. It allows for a wide range of production factors and is simple to analyse and interpret the final results, making it the most suitable for addressing complex issues of monetary stimulation in the context of smart industry development.

Problems of the development of Ukraine’s industry and itspersonnel supply in the conditions of war
Authors:   Institute of Industrial Economics of the NAS of Ukraine, Antoniuk Valentyna
Published: March 2024

Abstract The article examines the problems of industrial development of Ukraine during the period of independence and in the conditions of a full-scale war. A review of publications on the problems of industry by domestic researchers is carried out. It is stated that as part of the Soviet Union, Ukraine had a developed industry, which was fully integrated into the Union economy. The rupture of production chains, the loss of markets and the lack of an effective industrial policy during the period of independence led to deindustrialization and technological decline of Ukraine's industrial potential, which became a significant factor in unleashing armed aggression. The negative impact of the war on the state of domestic industry is studied: the destruction, closure and relocation of many enterprises, the curtailment of business and the primitivization of production led to a reduction in the volume of products sold by almost a third. Analysis of the dynamics of production in 2023 showed a slow and unstable recovery of industrial production, which is hindered by a number of factors. It is noted that a growing constraint is the lack of qualified personnel. The main threats to the staffing of the industrial sector of Ukraine in the wartime and post-war period are systematized: physical and migration losses of the population, brain drain, migration policy of the EU countries to create a reserve of skilled labor for their economies, low level of wages at domestic enterprises, destruction of the education system and inconsistency of vocational training with the needs of the labor market, weak participation of business in interaction with the system of vocational training and in improving personnel qualifications. At the present stage, the main tasks in the field of staffing of industry are: increasing the level of safety of living and working conditions in Ukraine; improvement of the organizational and legal principles of employment based on the principles of decent work; development of effective mechanisms and incentives for the return of forced external migrants; involvement in the sphere of economic activity of the passive part of the able-bodied population, including disabled people; use of diverse and flexible forms of work organization; modernization and development of the system of vocational and engineering education.

To Busan and Beyond: Mobilities of Korean War Trauma
Authors:   Academy of Mobility Humanities, Center for Asia & Diaspora Studies, l l
Published: March 2024

The Korean War (1950-1953) leveled the peninsula, losing and displacing millions of its people. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans from North and South found themselves in refugee camps in Busan. This traumatizing event is carefully delineated in Yi Hochol’s “Far from Home” and Han Musook’s “The Fragment.” Through an analysis of these short stories using Kate Coddington’s theory of contagious trauma, the paper forwards that the trauma caused by the war spreads, compounds, and expands within the infrastructures—namely, freight cars and warehouse—that facilitate the movements of refugees. In “Far from Home,” during the outbreak of the Korean War, four North Koreans move southward and live in freight cars, but this movement to escape the horrors of war also exposes them to being further traumatized by their homelessness. The characters in “The Fragment,” on the other hand, are able to secure a space in a warehouse in Busan, but the atmosphere coupled with tension with residents over basic necessities is just as traumatizing. These indicate that the infrastructures and conditions within, which can be as ordinary as needing a shelter to sleep in and water to wash themselves, traumatize further the already traumatized. The war, as an extraordinary event, traumatized the refugees—but their movements to safety and refuge, in response to it, cut more traumas.
Sexual Violence and Personality Rights in Virtual Spaces
Authors:   Academy of Mobility Humanities, Center for Asia & Diaspora Studies, f f
Published: March 2024

Recently, unwanted sexual contact between avatars in virtual spaces has emerged as a serious societal issue. The urgency to regulate such behavior is underscored by the fact that a significant portion of virtual space users are minors, and the emotional harm resulting from avatar-initiated sexual contact is deemed equally severe as tangible harm. However, existing laws lack the basis to penalize these actions. To address the issue of penalizing unwanted sexual contact between avatars, the question of whether sexual violence between avatars can be equated to violence against humans must be addressed. Previous discussions aimed to resolve this through concepts like cyber personality rights or sexual personality rights. However, these discussions tended to separate completely virtual spaces from the real world, attributing independent personality rights to avatars or, conversely, considering them unique to humans in the physical realm. Such attitudes present challenges in categorizing the type of infringement against avatars. This paper argues for recognizing personality rights in virtual spaces based on the spatiality of virtual environments and the fluidity of personality rights. Furthermore, it advocates recognizing the hybrid nature of personality rights within the virtual space through the actor-network theory. The objective is to establish a theoretical foundation that secures the punitive nature of unwanted sexual contact between avatars in virtual spaces and provides a basis for delineating the various types of such behavior.

Introduction: Health Benefit Plan Administrators must manage the health risk of their members. Therefore, health characterization is performed from enrollment to support decision-making and timely intervention. Objective: To analyze the historical results of characterizing the adult population on admission to the insurance company in relation to the demand for all-cause and psychiatric hospitalization services. Materials and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study with members over 18 years of age, in which an analysis was made of the characterization of the adult population of the insurer and its association with the use of medical consultation services in primary care and all-cause and psychiatric hospitalizations. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was made, and odds ratios (OR) were calculated in logistic regression. Results: Variables significantly associated with having an all-cause hospitalization were identified: having referred history of heart disease OR=1.71(95%CI: 1.33; 2.20), respiratory disease OR= 1. 30(95%CI: 1.04; 1.61), chronic kidney disease OR=1.66(95%CI: 1.13; 2.45), cancer OR=1.65(95%CI: 1.14; 2.40), taking any medication permanently OR=1.35(95%CI: 1.174; 1.56) and smoking OR=1.44(95%CI: 1.12; 1.85). For psychiatric hospitalizations, a history of discouragement, depression, or little hope was relevant with OR=5.12(95%CI: 1.89; 13.87). Discussion: The characterization of patients during enrolment allowed the identification of predictor variables of hospitalization, guiding management from the primary care level minimizing costs and catastrophic health events. Conclusion: The timely identification of specific patient profiles allows timely actions to minimize health costs and catastrophic health events.

Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kachalov Roman , Sleptsova Yulia ,   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

With the advent of large language models, researchers became interested in artificial intelligence algorithms and their application in the activities of enterprises. Such algorithms have already made a significant contribution in the fields of medicine, transport and finance. It is now necessary to understand what side effects artificial intelligence algorithms may cause once they are integrated into the production of goods and services. The purpose of this work is to identify risk factors for the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence systems, assess their impact on the level of risk and offer tools to reduce the level of risk. As a result of the conducted research, the term “artificial intelligence” was clarified; algorithms for analytical, functional, interactive, textual and visual artificial intelligence were identified. The modern artificial intelligence system represents the next wave of enterprise automation. Using the methods of system economic theory and operational theory, the risk factors for the use of artificial intelligence algorithms in the object, process, design and environmental subsystems of the enterprise are classified. Anti-risk management actions are proposed to reduce the likelihood of a risk situation or to compensate for the damage caused. The changes in the activities of large companies in the field of information technology related to the change in the concept of copyright and intellectual property are described. The limitations of the introduction and application of artificial intelligence algorithms associated with the inertia of managers’ thinking and the complexity of restructuring business processes at the enterprise are shown. The necessity of regulation in the field of the introduction of artificial intelligence systems, the definition of clear boundaries and restrictions to ensure the safety of individuals and society as a whole, and their compliance with ethical standards are substantiated.

Published: March 2024

In recent decades, digitalization has been taking place in all spheres of public life. It generates keen interest in the study of the possibilities provided by new technologies. Taking into account the importance of currency relations for the economy of any country and the world economy as a whole, it is relevant to study the impact of digitalization on the foreign exchange market. The article defines the development and use of electronic trading systems, the emergence of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and the issuance of digital currencies by central banks as the main areas of influence. It is shown that changes in the foreign exchange market associated with the improvement of trading systems lead mainly to positive consequences: an increase in the speed of currency exchange transactions, reduced risks and costs for the participants, and an expansion in the volume of annual deals. Possibilities and risks for cryptocurrency users in calculations and investment are characterized, as well as possibilities of increasing the speed, reducing the cost, and diversifying the currency structure of international settlements with digital currencies of central banks. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop legal regulation of the procedure for issuing and functioning of cryptocurrencies, international settlements using digital currencies of central banks, and the creation of reliable measures to protect against cyber threats.
Food Security of the Country in the Conditions of Sanction Pressure and Geopolitical Instability
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Perekhodov Pavel
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the article is to study food security issues, whose importance is increasing due to sanction pressure and the aggravation of geopolitical instability. The problems of food security continue to be relevant, since the interests of the state are always affected (we are talking about the basic direction of ensuring national security) and relate directly to the population from the position of an appropriate standard of living, providing them with food. The scale of sanctions and geopolitical tension increases the importance of this area and allows us to consider it in the current situation from the point of view of the country’s independence from external threats to the world market. Despite the rather positive dynamics of the development of the agro-industrial complex, domestic agribusiness has faced new challenges, the process of overcoming which does not seem simple and instant. The spring of 2022 proved evidence of accelerating the process of import substitution; nevertheless, the accumulated margin of safety and timely response of the state contributed to the successful completion of the previous year. Ensuring food security and reducing dependence on imports has become one of the tasks of the Russian economy in the current conditions outlined by the President of the country. The article identifies the key problems of ensuring food security in Russia (inflationary pressure, rising prices, import dependence, etc.) and suggests possible ways to solve them (social support of the population, acceleration of import substitution processes, involvement of agricultural universities in this process, stimulating the interaction of universities with other educational and scientific organizations in the context of their adaptation to the needs of the agro-industrial complex). The key place is given to reducing import dependence as a parameter for ensuring Russia’s food security in modern economic and geopolitical conditions.

The modern socio-economic environment surrounding organizations engaged in trade, including branded clothing, is characterized to a certain extent by new, unexplored factors, which creates conditions of high uncertainty when making decisions on the further development of this business. These factors form certain groups of external challenges for Russian trade organizations, which, in turn, are in a state of search for effective tools for strategic development in the current conditions. The purpose of the study is to identify the key factors that create external challenges for trade organizations interacting with consumers through marketplaces. Research methods include comparative analysis of sources, statistical analysis of the state of the trade industry (branded clothing trade sector), PEST analysis of the external environment to find the most significant factors that form external challenges for the industry in question, as well as SNW and SWOT analysis. The result of the study is a list of key factors that form external challenges for trade organizations that interact with consumers through marketplaces and their strategic reactions to them. The authors come to the conclusion that modern trading organizations that trade through marketplaces should take into account, when planning their further development, the state and trend of certain key factors that can have both negative and positive effects.

Transport connectivity has been and remains one of the key endogenous factors in the socioeconomic development of the Russian Federation. At the same time, in relation to the northern regions of Russia, connectivity is a factor not so much in terms of development as retention and preservation of the development of their territories, which is strategically important for the country due to the existing natural resource potential. The article analyzes the trends in the development of the transport system of the European North of Russia based on official statistics. As a result, its strengths have been identified, including the presence of all types of transport and related infrastructure on the territory, international transport corridors, etc., as well as its weaknesses, including a low density of highways, a high degree of depreciation of fixed assets, etc. The assessment of the transport connectivity of the largest settlement nodes in the European North has been carried out. As a result, it was found that the existing configurations of road and rail networks between them are significantly inferior to “ideal” options. Thus, the routes within the automobile network are about 51% longer than the shortest possible ones, and the railway is 1.7 times longer. It is shown that weak transport connectivity is a consequence not only of natural limitations but also of the weak efficiency of mechanisms for the development of the transport system.

In the conditions of the Volgograd region, the source of infection of oak with powdery mildew (the causative agent is Erysiphe alphitoides (Griffon et Maubl.) U. Braun et S. Takam.) is the conidial and marsupial stages of the fungus – ascospores, which overwinter in fruit bodies (cleistothecium) almost within the entire range of the host. The development of the disease on the leaves of the shoots of the first growth depends on the phenological features of the oak and the weather conditions of the first growing season. When studying the regularities of oak phenology and the manifestations of the disease, systematic observations were carried out during the growing season in stands of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) with a periodicity of 10 days. The phenology of oak was studied on 100 specimens of plants in protective forest stands on the territory adjacent to the city of Volgograd. At the same time, the development of powdery mildew of leaves was recorded, and conidium was captured using slides, with the help of agar-strips applied to them. The intensity of spore formation during the growth of the fungus was determined using the Goryaev counting chamber by the number of spores in a certain volume of suspension. Weather conditions for phenological observations were recorded using meteorological data for the period of studying the dynamics of the summer of powdery mildew-conidia and taken from the site “Pogoda i klimat”. It has been established that the seasonal development of conidia Erysiphe alphitoides is determined by a combination of the thermal regime and the conditions of humidification of the growing season. With the help of regression analysis for oak plantations in the arid zone of the Volgograd region, a prognostic model of a short-term meteorological and biological forecast of powdery mildew was developed, which made it possible to establish the dates of the disease and the terms of plant treatment through the dynamics of the spread of conidia.

Increasing training loads significantly affects the health of students. The cardiovascular system can react especially sharply to such changes. The purpose of the research is to analyze the indicators of systemic hemodynamics and adaptive reactions in students at Volgograd State University in the dynamics of the academic year. The study of hemodynamics was carried out in 2021–2023, from September to May. The following indicators were used: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, mean hemodynamic pressure, systolic blood flow volume, minute volume of blood flow and peripheral vascular resistance. When analyzing the parameters of systemic hemodynamics, it was found that seasonal changes in the values of mean hemodynamic pressure, systolic blood volume, minute volume of blood circulation and total peripheral vascular resistance are insignificant among students during the academic year. At the same time, a trend of changes in systemic hemodynamics was revealed during the three years of study. So, in comparison with the first year, the students in the second year showed an increase in the pumping function of the heart; in the third year of study, an increase in the chronotropic function was revealed. The change in hemodynamic indicators is also consistent with fluctuations in the adaptive potential, a decrease in which is noted during the examination and summer periods. At the same time, the level of adaptation in girls is, as a rule, higher than in boys, which indicates more effective adaptive capabilities of the female body.
