Published: September 2023

The advancement of surgical procedures for gingival repair and restorative treatments for anterior teeth, which stand out in the scientific community, has been fundamentally influenced by the pursuit of aesthetics. The purpose of the current study is to describe the clinical behaviour of a patient who has small teeth and a gummy smile. The goal was to use a clinical case to illustrate how anterior cosmetic rehabilitation, which includes gingivectomy and composite resin veneers, can be accomplished. The restoration of anterior teeth involves using better shades, colours, opacities, translucency, and anatomical onformation, while treatments that combine dentistry and periodontics are capable of producing good results, enabling normalisation of the gums, correcting their deformities, and restoring the interdental grooves and papillae. Periodontal surgery called a gingivectomy involves removing extra gum tissue. The purpose of the procedure is to change the tooth’s contour, which generates an increase in the clinical crown, providing a smile with adequate protection and support for the oral environment. Resin veneers or direct restoration on anterior teeth are the dental remodelling treatment that guarantees longevity and satisfactory results, in addition to being minimally invasive. The adhesive systems and composite resins available are of high quality, do not impose aesthetic limits, and allow a natural effect determined by the excellence and technical knowledge of the operator. The plan accomplishment allowed reaching the aesthetic principles and establishing a better contour shape and size, both of the gingival tissue and of the anterior teeth. Thus, the procedure was always performed prioritising the demands and satisfaction of the patient, generating excellent clinical results. This research is duly authorized by Opinion: 6.275.546 CEP/CONEP.
Hacia una etnografía participativa de las prácticas artísticas: dilemas, reconfiguraciones y sentidos de pertenencia en juego en un estudio del teatro callejero
Authors: Rindone Francesca
Published: September 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es compartir algunas reflexiones acerca de la investigación que estoy llevando a cabo hace algunos años con actores y actrices de teatro callejero en Buenos Aires, específicamente en el Parque Avellaneda, situado en la zona oeste de la capital. Quiero enfocar sobre todo las metodologías de trabajo de campo utilizadas hasta ahora, que responden a una pluralidad de funciones que cumplo como antropóloga respecto a la comunidad que investigo y a la necesidad de moverse de forma flexible entre estas funciones a causa de mi condición de insider en relación al campo etnográfico. El objetivo del artículo no es ofrecer respuestas concretas acerca del trabajo de campo (puesto que no existe un solo modelo posible), ni hacer una mera revisión metodológica, sino más bien participar de un debate más amplio que se está desarrollando hace algunas décadas en la disciplina y que pone en cuestión los métodos clásicos de trabajo de campo, así como de elaboración y presentación de los datos. Asimismo, quiero poner en evidencia los dilemas que se manifiestan a la hora de estudiar una comunidad a la cual pertenezco y la necesidad de renovar las metodologías de investigación en pos de un intercambio más fructifero entre el campo artístico y el académico.
O caso “católicas pelo direito de decidir”: impasses jurídicos entre ortodoxia religiosa e expressão dissidente
Authors: Mello Nina Garbellini de , Nicácio Camila Silva
Published: September 2023

O caso no Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo entre a apelante Associação Centro Dom Bosco de Fé e Cultura e a apelada Católicas Pelo Direito de Decidir SC trata de uma disputa sobre a existência ou não do direito da apelada de se autointitular “católica” publicamente. A análise da referia ação traz uma estimulante discussão jurídica sobre o que seria tolerável no campo da dissidência religiosa. Neste artigo empreendemos tal análise a partir de peças judiciais e de produções teóricas sobre a interação entre direito e religião, bem como sobre as particularidades dessa relação no Brasil e a crescente judicialização dos conflitos que dela advém. Ao identificarmos os raciocínios e argumentos mobilizados no processo judicial em questão, refletimos criticamente sobre o papel do direito de arbitrar o conflito, com o pano de fundo de uma disputa em que a defesa de direitos reprodutivos e a afirmação da ortodoxia religiosa católica está em jogo.
Memoria alimentaria y transformación ambiental en las comunidades mazahuas de México
Authors: Figueroa Serrano David , De la Luz Reyes Sofía
Published: September 2023

En este texto nos enfocamos a una forma de la memoria biocultural que se hace presente en las interacciones y experiencias de vida de los pueblos mazahuas con su entorno, nos referimos a la memoria colectiva sobre los saberes y sabores tradicionales vinculados a la alimentación, la cual puede ser definida como memoria alimentaria. Con ello, buscamos comprender cómo la población mazahua reconoce sus formas de vida histórica, sus experiencias que entrañan una inherencia con su entorno y los sabores implicados en la experiencia alimentaria. Los alimentos de origen lacustre tienden a desaparecer por los daños ecológicos, de las cuencas hidrológicas del Valle de Toluca, no obstante, la memoria alimentaria es un referente significativo de la ecoestética comunitaria y de las formas en que la tradición lacustre sigue estando presente.
A New Variation of Modern Prejudice: South Korean Young Men’s Anti-Feminism and Male-Victim Ideology
Authors: Jung Han
Published: September 2023

In South Korea, anti-feminism is now rapidly spreading through the
Internet among young men, and they started to identify themselves as a
social minority or “victims” of female power. Despite their
ramification to present South Korea, theoretically discussing, they are
indistinct from the racism and sexism of White men that emerged at least
a half-century ago. In this view, they share the same root of typical
modern racism or sexism, although they look novel in phenomena. Such a
hypothesis was buttressed by quantifying their attitudes towards various
outgroups based on the transference of prejudice theory. Moreover, the
subtle sexist undertones hidden in their arguments were discussed by
various psychological theories and empirical data/statistics.
Additionally, various potential factors that may shape or accelerate
their attitudes or behaviors were discussed on the basis of the
threat-defense theory (Jonas et al., 2014). Through comprehensive
literature review based on this theory, I propose the features related
to Korean anti-feminism encompassing behavioral/situational
(overindulging violent or degrading Internet contents, verbal
aggression), relational/epistemic (ostracism, attachment insecurity,
pseudo-rationalism), and group-level (provocative interactions,
polarization) attributes, some of which may also influence other groups
than young men and ingrain or exacerbate extreme ideologies of other
groups, including young women. Scrutinizing Korean online anti-feminism
and male-victim ideology will help in understanding the psychological
origins of various social extremities or radical ideologies beyond
cultural barriers.
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC PARAMETERS OF CARDIAC STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE MYOCARDITIS IN ADULT PATIENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Authors: Khanna Shaun , Li Cindy , Amarasekera Anjalee T. , Bhat Aditya , Chen Henry H.L. , Gan Gary C.H. , Tan Timothy
Published: September 2023

Background: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays a key
role in the initial work-up of myocarditis where the identification of
pathologic structural and functional changes may assist in its diagnosis
and management. The aim of this systematic review was to appraise the
evidence for the utility of echocardiographic parameters of cardiac
structure and function in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis in the
adult population. Methods: A systematic literature search of
medical databases was performed using PRISMA principles to identify all
relevant studies assessing TTE parameters in adult patients with
myocarditis (1995-2020; English only; PROSPERO registration
CRD42021243598). Data for a range of structural and functional TTE
parameters were individually extracted and those with low heterogeneity
were then meta-analysed using a random-effects model for overall effect
size, and assessed through standardized mean difference (SMD).
Results: Available data from up to six included studies
revealed that myocarditis can be reliably differentiated from healthy
controls using echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (LV) size
and systolic function, in particular LV end-diastolic diameter, LV
ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS)
(p≤0.01 for all). LV-GLS demonstrated the highest overall effect size,
followed by LVEF and LVEDD (SMD: |0.46-1.98|). Two
studies also demonstrated that impairment in LV-GLS was associated with
adverse cardiovascular outcomes in this population, irrespective of
LVEF. Conclusions: LV-GLS demonstrated the greatest overall
effect size and therefore ability to differentiate myocarditis
populations from healthy controls. GLS was also shown to be a predictor
of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, in this population.
Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of 111 Children Diagnosed by Gene Testing in the Pediatric Digestive Department: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Li Jian , Sun Mei , Guo Jing
Published: September 2023

With the development of medicine, the change of disease spectrum and the
improvement of diagnosis and treatment, some hereditary diseases are
increasingly appearing in the diagnosis of pediatric diseases. We
retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and genetic results of 111
children who met the inclusion criteria and visited the research center
from January 2015 to December 2019, to improve the clinical awareness of
gene detection for the early and accurate diagnosis of hereditary
metabolic diseases. The average age of participants who underwent gene
testing was 2.45 ± 2.80 years (male:female 1.58:1). The clinical
manifestations and laboratory indicators of two children with Wilson’s
disease (WD) were atypical and were finally confirmed by gene testing.
One of the 15 patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD) had a rare
type of GSD XV. Among nine children with Alagille syndrome, 75.0% and
11.1% had new mutations in JAG1 and NOTCH2, respectively. Among nine
children with a mutation in UGT1A1, c.211G>A and TATA box
mutation sites were the most common. c.851_854del was the most common
mutation in Citrin deficiency disease. Progressive familial intrahepatic
cholestasis (PFIC) 2 accounted for 66.7% of the nine children with
PFIC. The most common mutation in the 14 very early-onset inflammatory
bowel disease (VEO-IBD) cases was c.301C>T (p.R101W),
followed by c.537G>A (p.T179T). In conclusion, early gene
detection can provide accurate diagnosis, precise treatment, and improve
disease prognosis for children with atypical clinical symptoms and
insignificant changes in biochemical indicators for common genetic
metabolic diseases in the pediatric digestive system.
Study on Strain Responses and Numerical Modeling of FRP-Partially Confined Concrete Columns Using DIC Testing and Finite Element Modelling
Authors: Zou Yunfei
Published: September 2023

ABTRACT: Applications of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in
Partially Confined Concrete: Improving Economic Value and Load-Bearing
Capacity. However, there is still a need for more thorough analysis of
the non-uniform vertical strain response and precise stress-strain
models for FRP partially confined concrete. In this study, we used
Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and strain gauges to collect data during
axial compression tests on FRP partially confined concrete specimens.
Additionally, partial confinement concrete is modeled using Finite
Element Analysis using ABAQUS with a range of constraint area ratios,
including 0, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 1. According to the
experimental findings, the specimens either responded to strain by
hardening or softening in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
For various constraint area ratios, the Finite Element results
accurately reflected the relationship between surface constraint forces
and axial strains in the x, y, and z axes. Under different constraint
area ratios, a proposed stress-strain model showed high predictive
accuracy for FRP partially confined concrete columns.
The compound effects of highway reconstruction and climate change on vegetation activity over the Qinghai Tibet Plateau: a case study as G318 highway
Authors: Li Yao , Guo Linghui , Luo Yuanyuan , Gao Jiangbo , Zhang Hebing , Zou Youfeng , Wu Shaohong
Published: September 2023

：The Qinghai−Tibet Plateau (QTP) is among the most sensitive regions to
global environmental change worldwide. Although the climate change and
engineering construction on the QTP have jointly modified the regional
vegetation activity, little is known about how vegetation variation
responds. Using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
enhanced vegetation index (EVI) data during 2000−2021, this study
investigated the spatiotemporal variation of vegetation activity and the
compound effects of climate change and construction along the G318
highway on the QTP (TG318) through the integration of trend, residual,
and partial correlation analyses, as well as structural equation
modeling. The results showed that the growing season EVI increased
significantly at a rate of about 0.0020/year in the western QTP after
reconstruction, but fluctuated in the east. Reconstruction generally had
a significant effect on the growing season EVI, with contributions of
7.67%, 19.12%, 18.24%, and −4.15% in different sections of TG318,
whereas climate change contributed −10.14% to 8.84% of the total
variation. The growing season EVI negatively correlated with snow cover
and minimum temperature in humid and sub-humid regions, whereas
positively related to vapor pressure in semi-arid regions. Moreover,
there existed an obvious lag effect of climate change on the growing
season EVI, with lag time generally decreasing from west to east and
apparent heterogeneity among different months and regions. These
findings would help better understand the environmental impacts along
the engineering corridors and provide a scientific basis for ecological
conservation in the QTP region.

Published: September 2023

Aims: Although alcohol consumption is proposed to trigger electrographic
abnormalities, acute changes in arrythmias and conductance disturbances
have not been systematically studied in young adults who are the age
group most likely to binge drink. The aim of this study was to determine
if changes in breath alcohol content (BrAC) during an acute binging
episode influence electrographic abnormalities in young adults. Methods:
Fifty-five university students (20.6±2.1 years of age), who were not
regular users of alcohol, consumed 60% mixer and 40% vodka until
0.08% BrAC was reached (6.4±1.9 standard drinks). Five-lead Holter
recordings were analysed by a blinded cardiac technician. Electrographic
abnormalities were identified and classified according to location
(supraventricular or ventricular) and type (arrhythmia or conduction
disturbance). Results: Although heart rate was elevated with BrAC beyond
0.05% compared to 0.00%, no differences existed in the relative
incidence of electrographic abnormalities by location or type. Logistic
regression revealed that baseline electrographic abnormality
significantly contributed to predicting electrographic abnormality in
0.00% to 0.05% (p=0.02) and 0.05% to 0.08% BrAC phases (p=0.01).
Conclusions: Alcohol consumption, resulting in BrAC of 0.08%, increased
heart rate after BrAC reached 0.05% but did not acutely influence the
relative incidence of electrographic abnormality by location or type in
apparently healthy young people. These results do not support the
hypothesis that a binge drinking episode causes electrographic
abnormalities in young adults.
Leads for Antimicrobial Stewardship from Point Prevalence Surveillance in a Tertiary-level Care Hospital in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Gulam Shabaz , Thomas Dixon , Ahamed Fiaz , Baker Danial
Published: September 2023

Objective: To explore the scope of antimicrobial stewardship activities
based on the point prevalence study of antimicrobials among hospitalized
patients in a tertiary-level care hospital in the UAE. Methods: A
single-center cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted among
inpatients admitted to a tertiary care hospital using the European
Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption tool in February 2023.
Antimicrobials used against bacteria only were surveyed. All patients
admitted to the selected departments at 8 AM on the day of the survey
were included. Data were described in numbers and percentages. Results:
Among 136 patients admitted at the time of the study, 87 received
antimicrobials, representing a prevalence of 64%. A total of 144
antimicrobial prescriptions were prescribed in 87 patients. The majority
of the antimicrobials were administered parenterally (n=122, 84.7%),
and over 60% (n=53) of the patients on antimicrobials received two
antimicrobials. The majority of antimicrobials used for therapy were
empiric in nature (n=68, 89.5%). Over half of the patients receiving
antimicrobials for surgical prophylaxis were prescribed antimicrobials
for two or more days. More than 60% of the antimicrobial orders were
adherent to the hospital guidelines. Conclusion: The point prevalence of
the use of antimicrobials is high, which highlights the need for more
efficient and targeted stewardship efforts in improving adherence with
the hospital guidelines. Wide usage of broadspectrum antimicrobials is
observed.

Published: September 2023

Background: In this study, the clinical and laboratory findings,
complications, and responses to regular intravenous immunoglobulin
(IVIG) treatment of 34 patients diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency
(PID) carrying transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI)
protein mutations were retrospectively evaluated. Material and Method:
Clinical characteristics of patients, complete blood counts, serum
immunoglobulin and compleman levels, lymphocyte subgroups, and mutation
types of the patients followed up in our clinic for PID and diagnosed
with TACI Mutation with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Method were
examined. Results: A total of 20 (59%) of the patients were male, 14
(41%) were female, 18 were children (<18 years old) who had a
median age of genetic diagnosis of 6.2 years and 16 were adults
(>18 years) with a median age of genetic diagnosis of 34
years. The most common complaint was recurrent respiratory tract
infection (68%). According to the Euro Class Classification (ECC), 14
patients who met the diagnostic criteria of Common Variable
Immunodeficiency (CVID) had significantly lower lymphocyte, naïve
(CD19+IgD+27-), non-switched (CD19+IgD-27+) number and percentage of B
cells than the 20 patients who did not match (p<0.05). A total
of 24 of the 34 patients, 13 of whom were children and 11 of whom were
adults, received regular IVIG treatment because they met the criteria
for ECS and/or had comorbidities. Conclusion: In our study, the fact
that bronchiectasis and recurrent pneumonia and the need for
hospitalized treatment were less common than in the literature was
thought to be related to early IVIG treatment.
A Journey through Colonial Sakhalin ：Iwaya Sazanami’s Experience in Sakhalin
Authors: MASUI Makoto
Published: September 2023

Iwaya Sazanami(1870-1933) was a prominent figure in modern Japanese children’s literature. He traveled to the colonial Sakhalin one time in his life, the main purpose of this journey being to give oral presentations of fairy tales to children in Sakhalin. He energetically traveled the colony, including Toyohara (currently Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk), Ōdomari (Korsakov), Shirutoru (Makarov), Noda (Chekhov) and Maoka (Kholmsk).However, regarding Sazanami’s visit to Sakhalin, as far as I know, there is no previous research. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to clarify what kind of experience Sazanami had in Sakhalin under Japanese rule, and the essence of the literature(Haiku), political ideology(His view of Sakhalin and the Ainu people) he formed there.In conclusion, Sazanami was a hardcore imperialist, colonialist and nationalist who was delighted to have won the territorial struggle with Russia, the enemy country, and made Sakhalin his own. And he strongly hoped that Sakhalin and the Ainu would be included and integrated as part of the Japanese nation and people, and that Sakhalin would achieve further civilizational development in the future.
The Meaning of the “Words” of Others ：The Theoretical Underpinnings of Yuhi by Yangji Lee
Authors: YAMAZAKI Nagomi
Published: September 2023

This paper re-examines the critical importance of Yuhi by Yangji Lee (1955-1992). It examines how this text, as a story of “words”, acquired much critical attention in its own era.First, the paper points out that Yuhi is structured in such a way that it is expected to be read as “Zainichi Korean Literature”, but that it refuses to be read as such by having the Korean “I” speak about the absent party without letting the party concerned, Yuhi, speak about her inner life.Next, it confirms that the narrative of Yuhi was triggered by the “memoir” left by Yuhi, and points out that “I” found meaning in the materiality of the written word. This allows us to reconsider the fact that Yuhi is a story of “words” that deals with universal problems in language.Finally, the paper reviews the contemporaneous circumstances in which Yuhi was published. Its publication took place at a time when the internationalization of the Japanese language was being promoted, which resonated with the “I” in Yuhi. In the era of this internationalization, the figure of “I” can be understood as showing the importance of dialogue that transcendeds language barriers. I argue that Yuhi was a critical text on language at a time when the meaning of “Japanese” for the Japanese was being called into question.
When Tragedy and Laughter Meet
Authors: AKASAKA Norio
Published: September 2023

Sorrow secretly harbors laughter. In the Japanese literary tradition, there was an indispensable and invisible manner that connects sadness and laughter. There, the experiences of cruelty and resentment or ressentiment seldom gave birth directly to the literature of grief. It is necessary to observe the fate of the weak closely.Kadokawa Genyoshi’s “The emergence of tragic literature (Higeki Bungaku no Hassei)” is a pioneering study about the occurrence of tragedy in Japanese literature. Although Orikuchi Shinobu had a great influence on this work, it was the originality of Genyoshi himself, and the archetype of the storyteller as the bearer of the literature of sorrow was told. The losers and their clans who were burdened with grief brought out laughter from others by telling comically their histories as losers.The literature of laughter and the literature of tragedy arose together hand in hand. There, a man who willingly tries to play a role that will be laughed at, Houkan, appears. He brought out the repose of souls and purification through laughter. So, there was a melancholy in this laugh.We must strain our eyes on the cruelty and loneliness that laughter hides.
The (Im)possibility of Understanding China in Abe Tomoji’s Beijing
Authors: SU Guanwei
Published: September 2023

None of Tomoji Abe’s works has attracted as much attention from Japanese and Chinese scholars as Beijing. To this point, these scholars and critics have developed two main perspectives on the text. As the scholars Ichiro Ando and Isao Mizukami point out, the first perspective is comprised of an interpretation of Beijing that is based on the author’s critical stance on the brutal war. The other angle, expressed by Wang Shengyuan and Xiao Dongyuan, is to critique the Orientalism evident in the novel. However, because Beijing was written in a time of turmoil and conflict, there are aspects of the text that do not fit into either one of these categories. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine the two conventional interpretations and to identify a new perspective on Abe’s perception of China. Much like exchanging spectacle lenses, which implies the swapping of two different values, I initially try to get a little closer to the Beijing that Tomoji Abe, who was familiar with English and American literature and who also loved reading classical Chinese literature, saw in 1935. I then focus on the changes in the perspective of the protagonist, Daimon, in order to reevaluate Tomoji Abe’s perception of China and his new interpretation of it contained in Beijing.

Published: September 2023

COVID-19 pandemic is a respiratory disease that has spread in many countries worldwide and has become a significant health problem. Caused by the virus called SARS-CoV-2, this disease typically manifests with symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and muscle aches. Various approaches are used in the treatment of COVID-19, including antiviral drugs, respiratory support, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibody therapies. Antiviral drugs like remdesivir, in particular, are used to alleviate the course of the disease and expedite the recovery process. Vaccination programs are also becoming widespread globally, playing a crucial role in controlling the spread of the disease. The treatment of COVID-19 requires a global effort, and health authorities and scientists are continuously working on new treatment options and measures. This review study focuses on potential drug targets in the treatment process of COVID-19. It discusses the effects of some researched drugs as well as certain components derived from natural sources such as plants, microorganisms, and algae with pharmaceutical potential. However, further research and development of effective treatment methods are still needed for the treatment of COVID-19.

Tata kelola media sosial sebagai institusionalisasi praktik akuntansi dalam pengelolaan dana desa di Indonesia
Authors: Arianto Bambang
Published: September 2023

This study aims to elaborate on strengthening social media governance as an alternative means of strengthening the principles of transparency and public accountability in managing village funds in Indonesia. Social media has the ability to strengthen the availability of information to the public so as to create the principles of transparency and public accountability for the village fund management process. The availability of information facilities can be an important indicator for the public to participate in supervising village funds so that they are right on target and empower rural communities. This study used an explanatory qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and observation techniques to several rural social media activists in Indonesia. This research finds that social media governance can be an alternative channel to strengthen transparency and public accountability in the management of village funds. However, additional knowledge and competence is needed for village government officials in managing social media. This study also found that strengthening aspects of transparency and accountability through social media is evidence of the institutionalization of accounting practices in managing village funds in Indonesia.

The availability of the Internet, the increasing speed of information dissemination, and the wide reach of audi-ences are moving terrorist organizations into cyberspace. The global nature of the Internet and digitalization requires close international cooperation to counter terrorism in the online space. Over the past 5 years, the problems of cyber terrorism have steadily increased, and both Russia and China remain targets for cyber threats. To counter cyberterrorism, the two countries cooperate multilaterally and bilaterally. Multilateral coop-eration is carried out as part of the UN, SCO, and BRICS, where Russia and China demonstrate similar ap-proaches in developing international legal instruments to combat cybercrime. Bilateral cooperation includes collaboration between national competent authorities, exchange of information between the parties on investi-gating the use of ICTs for criminal purposes, joint response to threats in the information environment, and tech-nological cooperation. Russia and China have achieved some success in countering threats in cyberspace. Nevertheless, it is necessary to expand information interaction between the parties on international platforms, to pursue a policy that prevents terrorist organizations from using the territory of the two countries to commit cybercrimes, and to develop tools for joint control over the dissemination of information with terrorist content.
The Global Coal Market in New Geopolitical Realities

Currently, the global coal market is influenced by several conflicting factors, which contribute to the fact that coal energy will retain a significant role in the world economy in future. In particular, the negative impact on the environment can be significantly reduced with new technological solutions (CCUS, HELE). An important role in the global coal market is played by the Russian coal industry, which, despite West-ern sanctions, is developing dynamically, including due to the redirection of export flows to the east. To consol-idate Russia's leading position in the global market, in our opinion, it is necessary to implement the idea of unit-ing coal-producing countries by forming the Alliance of Coal Exporters (ACE). The creation of the Alliance of Coal Exporters will help to increase the degree of controllability of the global coal market as a whole and the predictability of world coal prices, which will meet the interests of both suppliers and consumers of coal. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which unites a number of leading suppliers and con-sumers of this type of fuel, could become the institutional basis for the creation of the Alliance of Coal Export-ers. The exporters remaining outside the organization will not be able to challenge the energy component of the SCO, with its growing geopolitical and military-political potential and mutual coordination of the Eurasian countries – coal producers.

This article explores key areas and issues underlying U.S.-Latin American relations and analyzes current chal-lenges to U.S. leadership on issues of migration, democracy, and the economy. Despite President J. Biden’s assertion that the United States’ influence in Latin America is necessary to address the persistent challenges that prevent the region from realizing its full potential, the United States now faces the challenge of fragmented leadership as a major global player, and Latin American states are developing numerous partnerships with other regions and countries, including Russia and China. According to the article, conclusion dwell upon the fact that many states that are supporters of a multipolar world and strive to take their rightful place in the global system of economic relations, such as the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, do not ac-cept direct U.S. interference in their internal affairs.
