Introduction: Vitamin B12 is essential for erythropoiesis, cell proliferation, nucleoprotein and myelin synthesis, and normal growth and development of cognitive functions.
Material and methods: A retrospective cohort follow-up study is planned to determine vitamin B12 levels and to reveal the symptoms that occur in deficiency. A complete blood count is conducted as part of the standard protocol for pregnant women (third trimester) of pregnancy. At six months of age, the infant's serum vitamin B12 level, iron concentration, ferritin level, and complete blood count are assessed. 70 mother-baby pairs were followed up over the period from 01/01/2021 to 01/01/2022. The infant cohort included 51.4% boys (n=36) and 48.6% girls (n=34).
Results: It was observed that 58.5% (n=41) of the mothers used multivitamin supplements, and 80% of them used iron medication. When the babies of mothers who took a multivitamin containing B12 were compared with the babies of other mothers, it was observed that there was a statistical significance in the B12 levels of the babies (p=0.012).
Discussion: The effects of B12 supplementation given to mothers on the intelligence development of children were investigated. It was hypothesised that the recommendation to provide routine vitamin B12 supplementation to mothers could be incorporated into the existing guidelines. The concept was initially proposed during the course of the study. It is our view that the administration of vitamin B12 supplements to mothers has a beneficial effect on the vitamin B12 levels of their babies, and that vitamin B12 supplementation should be provided to mothers. Studies conducted in our country and in the world show that keeping the vitamin B12 level high during pregnancy and lactation is important for the health of the mother and baby. It is therefore recommended that pregnant women receive vitamin B12 supplementation, with continued supplementation for the first six months postpartum.

Introduction: Cesarean section is one of the most prevalent surgical procedures in the world and Surgical Site Infections (SSI) are the most common complication following Cesarean section. This leads to greater patient dissatisfaction, longer hospital stays, and higher treatment costs. The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of wound infection and the prevalence of bacterial isolates in post-Cesarean section and its sensitivity to variant antibiotics.
Material and methods: Samples were collected from patients who had developed wound infection following cesarean section and cultured on blood, chocolate and chromatic agar. The isolated bacteria was identified by ordinary microbiology techniques.
Results: Among 4,482 Cesarean section patients in Albaraa Hospital, the surgical site infections (SSI) rate was 2.94 %. Microorganisms isolated from these cases included Candida albicans at a rate of 0.11%. The remaining 2.83% were bacterial isolates, with 70.1% being gram-positive bacteria significantly higher than the 29.9% attributed to gram-negative bacteria (P = 0.01). The main bacteria isolates were Staphylococcus aureus (37.8%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (23.6%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.4%), Klebsiella pneumonia (8.3%), Escherichia coli (5.3%) and Alpha hemolytic Streptococcus (3.8%)
Conclusions: The SSI rate in this study was at the lower limit of the WHO predicted infection rate and the bacterial isolates were sensitive to many antibiotics. This result may be due to the pre, intra and postoperative prophylactic antibiotics administered to patients and other factors such as short hospital stay and staff training in aseptic techniques. This study recommends further assessment of SSI in alternative surgical procedures, and assess the efficiency of prophylactic antibiotics in alternative surgeries in Libya.

Aborda-se também as políticas públicas na Educação do Campo e a importância da participação comunitária na construção de um currículo que priorize as especificidades das comunidades rurais. Portanto, este artigo contribui para a compreensão das políticas públicas relacionadas à educação do campo em Porto Velho, destaca os avanços e apresenta as dificuldades pelas quais os estudantes enfrentam para ter acesso à educação escolar, além de enfatizar importância de promover uma educação de qualidade e equidade para os povos do campo, respeitando a diversidade cultural e as diferentes realidades socioeconômicas destas comunidades.
Tecnologia e democratização do acesso à justiça pelos povos originários: limites e possibilidades
Authors: Reis Carla Regina Nunes dos Santos , Perius Oneide
Published: January 2025

Este artigo analisa criticamente o uso de ferramentas digitais no campo jurídico e as barreiras enfrentadas pelos povos indígenas no acesso a essas tecnologias. A pesquisa busca compreender os impactos da digitalização dos processos judiciais na efetivação dos direitos e na expressão de demandas por justiça por parte dessas comunidades. O estudo revela que, embora a tecnologia tenha potencial para ampliar a participação indígena na esfera jurídica, é fundamental que sua implementação ocorra de forma inclusiva e respeite as especificidades culturais. A falta de acesso adequado e a ausência de políticas adaptadas podem reforçar desigualdades já existentes. Assim, garantir acessibilidade digital e promover iniciativas culturalmente sensíveis são passos essenciais para assegurar que a digitalização do sistema judiciário beneficie efetivamente os povos indígenas, contribuindo para a democratização do acesso à justiça.
Intericonicidade e efeitos de sentido na constituição da identidade negra no livro didático Ways - English for Life (6° ano)

Published: January 2025

Este trabalho apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a constituição da identidade negra no livro didático Ways - English for Life, da editora FTD, dos autores Cláudio Franco e Kátia Tavares. Buscamos compreender, a partir da noção de intericonicidade (COURTINE, 2013; MILANEZ, 2013; 2015) e de algumas ferramentas conceituais da Análise do Discurso, de que formas pessoas negras têm sido representadas no livro do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental dessa coleção. Nossa pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva e interpretativa de abordagem qualitativa, inserindo-se no campo de Estudos do Discurso, tendo por base a Análise do Discurso, de linha francesa, conforme Michel Pêcheux (1998), objetivando discutir a imagem, a identidade e os efeitos de sentido de/sobre o negro nas seções do livro didático. Os resultados demonstraram que a imagem do negro ainda aparece bem pouco em detrimento das figuras de destaque e posições ocupadas por brancos. Isso evidencia a necessidade de um maior investimento nessa área a fim de que os livros didáticos de língua inglesa se tornem um recurso para professores em seu trabalho pedagógico face a práticas antirracistas, desconstruindo, dessa forma, um currículo historicamente eurocêntrico.

Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hemolysis of erythrocytes of primary or secondary origin, occurring in dogs and recommended therapy using corticosteroids and immunomodulators. Thus, the objective is to report the association of azathioprine with low-dose prednisolone in the treatment of secondary IMHA pyometra. A female, American Pitbull breed, 8 years old, not castrated, arrived for treatment with anorexia, weight loss and prostration for 7 days; being diagnosed with pyometra after clinical and complementary examinations. Seven days after surgery, the patient returned prostrate with a blood count showing hypochromic normocytic anemia, leukocytosis, reticulocytes with a moderate response and a positive saline agglutination test, confirming AHIM. The therapy adopted was azathioprine (2 mg/kg) and a low dose of prednisolone (0.5 mg/kg), both administered orally every 24 hours. Within twelve days, he was clinically stable with normalization of hematological parameters. It was concluded that the association of azathioprine with low-dose prednisolone was effective in controlling IMHA secondary to pyometra.
Happiness perception in wine tourism destinations and its impact on tourists' satisfaction and loyalty
Authors: Králiková Andrea , Kubát Patrik , Ryglová Kateřina
Published: January 2025

This study examines the mediating effect of satisfaction on the relationship between happiness and loyalty in wine tourism destinations. Using structural equation modelling, results indicate that happiness significantly influences satisfaction in wine tourism, subsequently impacting visitor loyalty. However, the direct effect of happiness on loyalty appears to be weaker, which emphasises the crucial role of satisfaction. The unique characteristics of wine tourism, which promote personalised and emotionally engaging experiences, underline its importance in the study of tourist happiness. The findings on happiness in wine destinations emphasise the need for tailored management and marketing strategies. The findings highlight the importance of satisfaction in enhancing loyalty and suggest strategies to optimise visitor experiences, improve destination competitiveness and foster long-term tourist loyalty in the highly competitive wine tourism market.
The critical success factors for tourism routes development: A systematic review
Authors: Pedrosa André , Martins Filomena , Breda Zélia
Published: January 2025

Tourism routes are partnerships between stakeholders to develop a common tourist product. Limited research exists on factors influencing their overall success, that is, the critical success factors (CSFs). Thus, this systematic review applies the PRISMA protocol with the aim of identifying and discussing these CSFs by addressing the question: ‘Which are the CSFs for tourism routes development?’. The review encompasses 174 studies on tourism routes, published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese languages until October 2022, in the SCOPUS and Web of Science databases. Most of the studied routes are in Europe and focused on the theme of food and drinks at a regional level. Their CSFs are discussed across the categories of Resources, Governance, Activities, and Performance assessment. The results highlight the importance of networking for the long-term success of tourism routes and the need for further research, particularly on issues of governance and performance assessment. This review provides theoretical contributions by identifying CSFs of tourism routes and offers practical suggestions for their establishment and enhancement.
A multilevel analysis of green organizational support among hotel employees in Türkiye
Authors: Saydam Mehmet Bahri , Uludag Orhan , Arici Hasan Evrim , Bayighomog Likoum Steven William
Published: January 2025

This study tests the cross-level association between green organizational support (GOS) among team members, green team resilience (GTR), green work engagement (GWE), and pro-environmental behaviour (PEB). Data for this study came from 59 work groups and 372 individuals working in 14 hotels in Antalya, Türkiye. To account for the nested data structure, hierarchical linear modeling was employed using R programming language. The present research reveals that GOS directly and indirectly correlates with GTR, GWE, and PEB. In addition, GOS promotes GTR and fosters GWE and PEB. The authors infer that eco-friendly support provided by the organization to the hotel employees can facilitate the green resilience of teams and boost employees' GWE, consequently increasing individual-level PEB. Practitioners can utilize these insights to implement effective strategies that support environmental initiatives, improve team dynamics, and engage employees in sustainability efforts, thereby contributing to the overall environmental performance of hotels.
Causality relationship between economic policy uncertainty and tourism in Mediterranean countries: Evidence from dynamic symmetric and asymmetric bootstrap panel causality tests
Authors: Soyu-Yildirim Esra , Dündar Yusuf , Demirtaş Cuma
Published: January 2025

This study analyses the interrelationship between economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and tourism in Mediterranean Basin countries for the period 1997–2020. The paper includes two analyses along with two models. The first analysis investigates a long-run relationship between variables and estimates long-run coefficients by using the Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MM-QR) technique, a novel approach that provides more comprehensive insights. The second analysis examines the dynamic relationship between the variables by dynamic Kónya panel symmetric and asymmetric causality tests. According to the MM-QR estimation results, the effect of EPU on international tourist arrivals (ITA) in Model I is positive across all quantiles (except at the 0.1 quantile), and this positive effect increases with quantile level. In Model II, the effect of ITA on EPU is positive for most of the quantiles (except at the 0.8 and 0.9 quantiles). However, it is statistically significant only for countries in the 0.2 quantile group. The dynamic symmetric causality findings indicate a causal relationship from tourism to EPU (except for Spain) and from EPU to tourism for all countries. The dynamic asymmetric causality test reveals an asymmetric causality in the positive component from tourism to EPU in various periods across countries (except for Greece). In the positive component from EPU to tourism, we observed causality relationships in France and Spain (in a single period) and in Greece and Italy (across multiple periods). It is first study in the literature to examine the causal relationship between EPU and tourism by using dynamic symmetric and asymmetric bootstrap panel causality tests, with a focus on Mediterranean Basin countries. It therefore addresses a significant gap in literature. It is found that there is strong sensitivity in the relationship between tourism and EPU, hence policymakers must carefully calibrate their strategies when assessing the interaction between these two critical factors.
Applying a time-geographical perspective to understand tourism mobilities of families with children who use wheelchairs
Authors: Landby Emma
Published: January 2025

Individuals with disabilities encounter numerous challenges in the realm of tourism travel. Various constraints can affect their opportunities to engage in travel, influence their choice of destinations and modes of travel, and shape their overall tourism experiences. Research on tourism for individuals with disabilities has predominantly concentrated on identifying barriers to travel. This paper employs a time-geographical framework to extend beyond this focus, examining how various constraints are negotiated and the resultant outcomes for tourism trips. The study is based on interviews with Swedish parents whose children use wheelchairs. The findings indicate that these families face multiple constraints impacting their tourism opportunities and experiences, primarily related to rules, regulations, and inaccessible physical environments. Furthermore, the interviewed parents do not perceive their children’s disabilities as constraints but rather highlight the challenges of using a wheelchair in inaccessible tourism contexts. While some constraints are negotiated to facilitate tourism, not all desired tourism activities can be fully realised. Consequently, the families in this study exhibit rather routinised travel behaviour. An important finding is that families who travel with a child with a disability should be considered part of the family tourism market, rather than the disability tourism market.
Broadening tourism experience and destination image
Authors: Guerreiro Manuela , Pinto Patrícia , Bagheri Fatemeh , DeMatos Nelson
Published: January 2025

Although previous studies deal with tourism experience, destination image and related outcomes, this study innovates by elaborating on a more comprehensive view of the tourism experience and destination image. Guided by suggestions for more research in the relevant literature, this study examines the correlation between tourism experience, experiential destination image, tourism memory, satisfaction and loyalty and explores domestic and international tourists. The data were collected from tourists visiting the Algarve, Portugal, in 2021. A multi-group analysis determined the main differences between domestic and international tourists. The results show that the tourist experience has five dimensions: active learning, emotional engagement, passive entertainment, immersive escape, and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, tourism experiences of both domestic and international tourists positively affect the cognitive image of the Algarve. There is a significant difference among domestic and international tourists regarding the impact of tourism memory on tourists' loyalty. Theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and potential directions for future research are discussed.

Published: January 2025

This research note addresses a gap in current research on the role of technology in restaurants, which often focuses on operational benefits and customer experience rather than the experiential impact on chefs. Based on an exploratory qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews with chefs, the study explores how chefs perceive the influence of integrating technological tools in their future practices and the impact on their skills and creativity. The findings provide insights into the facilitative and destructive roles of technology. The paper contributes to the understanding of how and why technology enhances and inhibits human skills and creativity, thus guiding businesses in hospitality about the adoption of technology in restaurants.
(De)regulating access to tourism and hospitality professions: The case of Portugal
Authors: Seyitoglu Faruk , Costa Carlos , Martins Mariana , Malta Ana Maria
Published: January 2025

This study explores the perceptions of key stakeholders responsible for tourism and hospitality (T&H) organisations in Portugal regarding deregulating access to professions in T&H labour. A qualitative research approach was utilised. Through in-depth interviews, data was collected purposefully from the participants. According to the qualitative findings, opinions on regulating and deregulating professions in T&H labour emerged as against deregulation, against regulation, and moderate. However, most opinions fall under the against deregulation category. Moreover, deregulating access to the profession has both positive and negative impacts, and the influences of deregulation on working models include two sub-themes: self-employment and accumulation of functions. Finally, policymakers' responses to deregulation include elements such as the increase in the number of associates that joined associations, the partnership of associations with educational institutions to create certifications, and the creation of unions for specific positions. This research contributes valuable insights from key stakeholders on the deregulation of professions in T&H labour in Portugal, providing policymakers and scholars with a better understanding of the viewpoints on regulating and deregulating professions in this sector.
Capitalizing on the Tidelands: Chinese Migrants, Environmental Conflicts, and the Circuits of US Empire in Nineteenth-Century Oakland
Authors: Klein Andrew
Published: January 2025

In 1869, the Pacific seaport of Oakland, California, became the western terminus of the transcontinental railroad. The city's infilled tidelands bridged distant geographies of war and trade, from Nevada mines to Hawai‘i plantations to far-flung naval coaling stations. In Oakland, as in the continental and overseas outposts linked by the city's infrastructure, Chinese contract workers performed much of the dangerous, poorly compensated labor. Chinese fishing villages hugging the shores of Oakland and neighboring cities sustained this system of production. Their bountiful catches fed local Chinese migrants, as well as migrants scattered across the mines and plantations of the Pacific. Populated by former contract workers, the fishing villages offered alternatives to the racial hierarchies, brutal labor, and environmental ruin characterizing the political economy of the post-emancipation era. But Oakland's conversion into a launchpad for military and commercial ventures threatened their ecologies, a food base nourishing the workers who made that conversion possible. In the face of ecological enclosure and state-sanctioned repression, fishing villages managed to multiply. This article traces their footprints, showing how Chinese migrants made use of nature and capitalist markets to escape stifling conditions in the waged economy. Situated at the underexplored intersection of migration and environmental change, the article builds on a growing body of scholarship documenting the reconstruction of race, labor, and property in the post–Civil War American West. It argues that environmental conflicts in a rapidly industrializing Pacific Coast entrepôt reflected contradictions at the heart of the commercial and territorial expansion of the late nineteenth-century United States.
“I Want to Return to My Country”: Ethnic Mexicans Request the Right to Return during the Great Depression
Authors: Guzmán Romeo
Published: January 2025

This article offers a new history of Mexican repatriation during the Great Depression by focusing on US citizens who returned to Mexico. Using US consular and Department of State files, I argue that ethnic Mexicans who were born in the United States practiced a form of transnational citizenship to demand rights from the US government. From small towns and large cities throughout Mexico, US–born youth, US citizen-parents with children born in the United States, and US citizens married to Mexican nationals visited US consular officials and wrote to US officials, particularly President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the United States, relatives of US citizens and repatriated Mexican nationals also wrote to US officials. Through these letters, US citizens and their allies noted their hardships and affinities to the United States and demanded “the right to return.” While the US government did not provide US citizens of Mexican ancestry with financial assistance to return to their place of birth, US consuls were important intermediaries between family members in the United States and Mexico. In the end, this was a negotiated process, marked by both success and failure.
HERPETOFAUNAL REMAINS (ANURA, CROCODYLIA, TESTUDINES, SQUAMATA) FROM THE LATE MIOCENE OF THE CREVILLENTE AREA (SE SPAIN): PALAEOBIOGEOGRAPHICAL AND PALAEOECOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: MARQUINA-BLASCO RAFAEL , MORALES-FLORES DAVID , BARTOLOMÉ-BOMBÍN ÁNGEL D. , MONTOYA PLINIO
Published: January 2025

In the present work we describe the palaeoherpetofaunal remains from the Crevillente 2 (MN11) and Crevillente 15 (MN12) sites (Crevillente, Alicante, Spain), which is a key area for understanding the faunal turnovers during the Late Miocene. Crevillente 2 has yielded a diverse assemblage composed of anurans (Pelophylax sp.), crocodylians (Crocodylia indet.), lizards (cf. Scinciformata indet. 1 and 2, cf. Timon sp., Lacertidae indet. 1 and 2, Ophisaurus s.l. sp., and Pseudopus sp.) and ophidians (Colubridae indet. 1 and 2, Neonatrix sp., and Viperidae indet. Oriental morphotype). The probable presence of Timon is discussed; if confirmed, it would be the oldest occurrence of the genus. The faunal composition is consistent with that from other coeval Iberian sites. The assemblage includes European autochthonous taxa (Lacertidae and Ophisaurus s.l. sp.) and taxa that likely arrived from Asia or North America during the Oligocene-Miocene transition or the Early Miocene, such as Pseudopus, Oriental vipers and, probably, Neonatrix. The studied assemblage in Crevillente 15 is limited to turtles (Paleotestudo sp. and Testudines indet.) and crocodylians (Crocodylia indet.). At both localities, the surrounding landscape must have been dominated by open habitats with patches of forest/shrubland formations close to water bodies. The application of the Herpetological Ecophysiological Groups method to Crevillente 2 indicates that the mean annual rainfall must have been higher than currently recorded in the area. the Herpetological Ecophysiological Groups method to Crevillente 2 indicates that the mean annual rainfall must have been higher than that currently recorded in the area. Our results indicate that the Iberian palaeoherpetofauna of those chronologies were few barely affected by the Vallesian Crisis.

Published: January 2025

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a notable cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), especially in patients with liver cirrhosis, complicating their clinical outcomes. Understanding its prevalence and characteristics in this population is vital for effective management. Objective: To determine the frequency of peptic ulcer disease in patients with liver cirrhosis presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Gastroenterology at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, over a six-month period. A sample of 145 patients with liver cirrhosis aged 20 to 60 years, presenting with UGIB, was selected. We determined the frequency of peptic ulcer disease in these patients. Results: Mean age was 41.32 ± 11.81 years. Peptic ulcer disease was present in 13.1% (19) of the patients. Gender distribution showed a slight predominance of females (54.5%), while peptic ulcer disease was more common in males (63.2%). The majority of peptic ulcers were classified as Forrest Class III (63.2%), indicating low risk, followed by Forrest Class IIC (21.1%) and IIA (15.8%). Conclusion: Peptic ulcer disease is a significant finding in cirrhotic patients presenting with UGIB, occurring in 13.1% of cases. Most ulcers were low-risk (Forrest Class III), and the prevalence was influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status and cirrhosis duration.
Charles Manson: Cult Leader, Counterculture Hero, and Psychopath
Authors: Lane Jodi P.
Published: January 2025

Although many popular culture publications attempt to delve into the psychology of Charles Manson, most focus on his criminal behavior and subsequent trial in relation to the Tate-LaBianca murders. This narrative review uses available biographic information about Manson across his lifespan and applies Robert D. Hare’s formulation of both interpersonal and affective traits associated with the psychological construct of psychopathy. Ultimately, this review identifies multiple elements in Manson’s personal history that meet Hare’s criteria for psychopathy. The results of this study add to the growing body of psychobiographies that utilize a retrospective framework from autobiographical information to comprehensively explore the psyches of historical figures.

Published: January 2025

Nurses are the backbone of hospitals, as they spend more time with patient care compared to other health care professionals. Consistently, nurses are doing their duties in various shifts of different lengths.  Usually, long shift duty hours are commonly associated with poor-quality nursing care. Objective: To assess the association of job shift length with quality nursing care in a tertiary care hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Methods: A descriptive correlative design was used to find out the association between study variables. The target population was the registered nurses working in public hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A convenient sampling approach was used to collect data from 377 nurses working in tertiary care hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa via an adapted questionnaire. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 26.0 for the frequency, percentage, and mean for demographic variables, and the association, the Spearman rank correlation test was used. Results: The findings show that the majority of the participants were male (56.2%), and more than half were young nurses (54.9%). There was a strong positive relationship between small shift length and quality nursing care and a weak negative in the case of long shifts. However, individual subscales show a positive association between shift duration and quality nursing care. Conclusions: It was concluded that there was a mixed association between shift length and quality care. The study suggests that proper documentation and working in medium shifts instead of long shifts can enhance patient safety and quality care.

Մեր օրերում գյուղատնտեսության ոլորտում կանաչ քիմիան նոր պարադիգմի դեր է խաղում։ Վերջին տարիներին գյուղատնտեսության մեջ կայուն արտադրության վարման նպատակով էլ ավելի է ընդլայնվել վերականգնվող ռեսուրսների օգտագործումը, որպեսզի գեներացվեն կենսաբանական հիմքով սննդամթերք՝ նվազագույն հումքով, զրոյական թափոններով, սոցիալական բարձր արժեքներով և շրջակա միջավայրի վրա նվազագույն ազդեցությամբ: Հիմնվելով գյուղատնտեսությունում կանաչ քիմիայի նվաճումների կիրառման միջազգային փորձի արդյունքների և օրինակների վրա հոդվածը ցույց է տալիս, որ բնակչության պարենապահովվածությունն ուղղակիորեն պայմանավորված է գյուղատնտեսության կայուն զարգացմամբ, իսկ դա առանց «կանաչ քիմիայի» միջոցների կիրառման անհնարին է։ Դրանում էլ կայանում է հոդվածի արդիականությունը։
В настоящее время зеленая химия играет роль новой парадигмы в сельском хозяйстве. В последние годы устойчивое производство в сельском хозяйстве еще больше расширило использование возобновляемых ресурсов для получения биопродуктов питания с минимальным количеством сырья, нулевыми отходами, высокой социальной ценностью и минимальным воздействием на окружающую среду. На основе результатов и примеров международного опыта применения достижений зеленой химии в сельском хозяйстве в статье показано, что продовольственная безопасность населения напрямую определяется устойчивым развитием сельского хозяйства, а это невозможно без использования «зеленой химии», в чем и заключается актуальность статьи.
Nowadays, green chemistry plays the role of a new paradigm in agriculture. Recently sustainable production in agriculture has further expanded the use of renewable resources to generate bio-based food with minimal cost of raw materials, zero waste, high social value, and minimal environmental impact. Based on the results and examples of the international experience of applying the achievements of green chemistry in agriculture, the article reinforces that the food security of the population is directly determined by the sustainable development of agriculture and that sustainable development is impossible without the use of "green chemistry". This determines the relevance of the article.

Միգրացիայի պատճառները բազում են։ Տնտեսական և ոչ տնտեսական նկատառումներով դրդված միգրանտների միջև տարբերությունը հաճախ միաձուլված է, միգրանտների լավագույն համեմատությունը գետն է. այն, ինչ սկսվում է որպես մեկ ալիք, որը կարելի է կառավարել ամբարտակով, կարող է դառնալ դելտա կազմող գետերի մի շարք, որի կառավարումը ինչպես միգրացիան դժվար է դարձնում:
Причин миграции много. Различие между экономическими и неэкономическими мигрантами часто размыто, но лучшим сравнением мигрантов является река; то, что начинается как единственный канал, который можно контролировать с помощью плотины, может превратиться в серию рек, образующих дельту, что значительно затрудняет контроль над миграцией.
The causes of migration are many. The distinction between economic and non-economic migrants is often blurred, but the best comparison of migrants is a river: what begins as a single channel that can be controlled by a dam can become a series of rivers forming a delta, making migration much more difficult to control.

Повышение эффективности управления персоналом в налоговом органе предполагает, прежде всего, его правильное планирование, оценку текущего правового состояния кадровой безопасности и будущей востребованности. Каким бы совершенным ни было законодательство, высокая экономическая активность, честные плановые идеи, низкая потребность государства в налоговых поступлениях, ясно, что непосредственным носителем налоговой политики, тем, кто осуществляет налоговое администрирование, является человек, налогоплательщик. офицер, который, неся по закону возложенную на него в данный момент ответственность, имеет ограниченные возможности, нуждается в постоянном интересе. Поэтому возникает необходимость проанализировать экономико-правовую основу работы налогового служащего, чтобы рассказать об имеющихся пробелах и внести предложения по улучшению. Актуальность темы определяется изложенным выше.
Increasing the effectiveness of HR management in the tax body, first of all, presupposes its correct planning - assessment of the current and future requirements of HR security. No matter how perfect the legislation is, how high economic activity is, how honest ideas are, and how low the state's demand for tax revenues is, it is clear that the direct bearer of tax policy, the one who implements tax administration is the person, the tax officer, who, while bearing the responsibility assigned to him by the legislation, has limited abilities and needs constant attention. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the economic and legal basis of the work organization of the tax officer, in order to reveal the existing gaps and make room for improvement.
The Influence of Buddhism on the Philosophy of Ho Chi Minh
Authors: Nguyen Thi  Thu Huong
Published: January 2025

The rich and priceless ideological heritage system of Ho Chi Minh is influenced by Buddhism with its core values of humanism, worldview focused on pursuing idea of “the true, the good, the beautiful”, on “compassion, sympathy, joy, equanimity”, on “impermanence, selflessness, altruism”, on saving the suffering, living a good and moral life… The core idea of Buddhism is one of the cultural thoughts that had a great influence on the process of forming Ho Chi Minh’s worldview. The combination of Buddhist thought and Ho Chi Minh’s worldview is the combination of converging lenses of nation and Buddhism, life and religion, in connection with Ho Chi Minh's lofty human values.
INCLUSÃO SOCIAL DE PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO AMBIENTE CORPORATIVO
Authors: Almeida Ana Laura de , Borges Andrêina Silva , Macedo Karla Gonçalves , Coleti Jamile de Campos , Bueno Miriam Pinheiro
Published: January 2025

Este artigo discute a inclusão de Pessoas com Deficiência (PCDs) no mercado de trabalho e nas organizações, onde desde a definição de "deficiente" pela ONU em 1975 até a Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (Lei nº 13.146/2015), a percepção e tratamento das PCDs evoluíram significativamente. A inclusão efetiva vai além da conformidade legal, exigindo mudanças nas acessibilidades arquitetônicas, comunicacional, atitudinal, metodológica e programática. Este estudo caracteriza-se como pesquisa exploratória qualitativa. Teoricamente, o uso foi baseado em dados que poderiam ser feitos previamente por meio de uma abordagem quantitativa. Adaptações físicas é apenas o começo; a comunicação acessível e mudanças culturais dentro das organizações são cruciais. Superar barreiras atitudinais enraizadas em preconceitos históricos requer educação contínua e sensibilização dos colaboradores. Adaptações metodológicas, como flexibilização de horários e personalização de tarefas, juntamente com tecnologias assistivas, aumentam a autonomia e produtividade das PCDs. A participação ativa das PCDs na identificação de barreiras e soluções é essencial para políticas eficazes e práticas inclusivas. Embora o cumprimento da legislação seja fundamental, a verdadeira inclusão exige compromisso contínuo para eliminar barreiras. A inclusão de PCDs no ambiente corporativo demanda uma abordagem multidimensional, garantindo participação plena e equitativa. A educação contínua e a legislação são essenciais para criar um ambiente de trabalho inclusivo, valorizando todos os colaboradores.
