Dissociating Cognitive and Affective Empathy Across Psychopathy Dimensions: The Role of Interoception and Alexithymia
Authors: Campos Carlos , Rocha Nuno Barbosa , Barbosa Fernando
Published: October 2022

This study examined the associations between psychopathy dimensions (triarchic phenotypes and classical factors), empathy domains (cognitive and affective), and interoception (interoceptive attention and accuracy) while accounting for the putative role of alexithymia. A community sample (n=515) completed an online survey encompassing: Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (boldness, meanness, disinhibition); Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (primary and secondary psychopathy); Body Perception Questionnaire (interoceptive attention); Interoceptive Accuracy Scale; Toronto Alexithymia Scale. Hierarchical linear regression models were implemented for hypothesis-driven analyses examining the associations between psychopathy, empathy, and interoception while controlling for sex, age, and alexithymia. Exploratory path models were employed to investigate alexithymia and/or cognitive empathy as mediators between interoception and psychopathy. Our results largely confirmed the postulated empathy profiles across psychopathy dimensions, as meanness and primary psychopathy displayed a broad empathy impairment, while disinhibition and secondary psychopathy were only associated with diminished cognitive empathy. Importantly, boldness displayed a unique pattern (enhanced cognitive empathy and reduced affective empathy), further reinforcing its importance within the constellation of psychopathy traits. Contrary to our hypotheses, self-perceived interoceptive attention and accuracy were not associated with either psychopathy dimension after controlling for alexithymia. However, interoceptive accuracy and alexithymia were associated with cognitive empathy, while alexithymia was also positively related to all psychopathy dimensions (as expected), despite the unexpected strong and negative association with boldness. Exploratory analyses suggested significant indirect effects (mediation) between interoceptive accuracy and psychopathy via alexithymia and/or cognitive empathy. These mediating effects must be interpreted with caution and future studies should be designed to formally test this model.
Neural representations of observed interpersonal synchrony/asynchrony in the social perception network
Authors: Tsantani Maria , Yon Daniel , Cook Richard
Published: October 2022

The visual perception of individuals is thought to be mediated by a network of regions in occipitotemporal cortex that supports specialized processing of faces, bodies, and actions. In comparison, we know relatively little about the neural mechanisms that support the perception of multiple individuals and the interactions between them. The present study sought to elucidate the visual processing of social interactions by identifying which regions of the social perception network represent interpersonal synchrony. In an fMRI study with 32 human participants (26 female, 6 male), we used multi-voxel pattern analysis to investigate whether activity in face-selective, body-selective, and interaction-sensitive regions across the social perception network supports decoding of synchronous vs. asynchronous head-nodding and head-shaking. Several regions were found to support significant decoding of synchrony/asynchrony, including extrastriate body area, face-selective and interaction-sensitive mid/posterior right superior temporal sulcus, and occipital face area. We also saw robust cross-classification across actions in extrastriate body area, suggestive of movement-invariant representations of synchrony/asynchrony. Exploratory whole-brain analyses also identified a region of right fusiform cortex that responded more strongly to synchronous than asynchronous motion. Critically, perceiving interpersonal synchrony/asynchrony requires the simultaneous extraction and integration of dynamic information from more than one person. Hence, the representations of synchrony/asynchrony cannot be attributed to augmented or additive processing of individual actors. Our findings therefore provide crucial new evidence that social interactions recruit dedicated visual processing within the social perception network that extends beyond any domain-specific processing engaged by the faces and bodies of individual agents.
Moving forward with health behaviour change interventions: Considering the plurality of motivational forces driving health behaviours and motivational conflicts
Authors: Forestier Cyril , de Chanaleilles Margaux , Deschamps Thibault , Chalabaev Aïna
Published: October 2022

Health behaviours change is a major challenge to prevent premature deaths, such as those caused by physical inactivity and unhealthy diet behaviours. However, health-behaviours change interventions have shown modest or no efficiency across studies and meta-analyses. This finding is likely the consequence of a common feature of the main theoretical frameworks that (i) focus mainly on motivational forces facilitating the new targeted health behaviours, and (ii) omit the motivational forces that prevent the competing unhealthy behaviours. They also overlooked the motivational forces preventing the targeted health behaviours and those facilitating the competing unhealthy behaviours. We therefore argue in favour of (a) a more comprehensive approach of the motivational forces underlying the individual’s health behavioural change; (b) the development of combined interventions, targeting simultaneously the appropriate preventing and facilitating motivational forces, regarding the individual baseline profile; and (c) the consideration of the motivational conflicts resulting from opposing motivational forces, by training people to mobilize the adaptative conflict resolution strategies. Finally, we call for future research and interventions to adopt a new agenda to evaluate and promote health behaviour change by: (i) characterizing baseline individual motivational profiles; (ii) characterizing preferred conflict resolution strategies; (iii) intervening on the appropriate motivational forces and conflict resolution strategies; (iv) evaluating the intervention’s efficiency.

Published: October 2022

The aim of the present study was to identify different executive functioning profiles within 2, 6, and 10 scholar grades using a three-step Latent Profile Analysis. In Step 1, unconditional LPA models are estimated, and the selected model is used in the next step. In Step 2, the most likely profile memberships are estimated from the posterior probabilities of the LPA. Furthermore, the profile-classification uncertainties (i.e., measurement error) in the latent profile membership are calculated and used in the next step. In Step 3, the relationships of the most likely latent profile membership with covariates or/and distal outcomes are estimated, considering the measurement error in the estimation of the latent profile membership. In this study, we aimed to examine the prediction of covariates (sex, age, intelligence, and processing speed) on the retained profile solutions in each group. Then, we tested the prediction of intelligence and processing speed on measures of math achievement and reading comprehension) within each retained profile

Published: October 2022

The field of engineering is as dynamic as the world we live in and so is the requirement of innovation in construction industry. One such innovation is base isolation method. From the result of the study, base isolation method is found to be highly optimistic for the safety of structures.

We met with different engineers regarding structure engineering and earthquake engineering. Through their recommendation, we visited National Society of Earthquake Technology (NSET) and Earthquake Safety Solution (ESS) which gave us chance to meet with Daniell King and Harry Toward who were researching in Nepal about base isolation method. We visited a village named Sankhu ward No.4 near Nepal Engineering College. We asked people how feasible this project can be. Many people showed positive responses towards it. Then we went to Sankhu Municipality for the collection of secondary data. So especially in developing countries like Nepal, this project will give a lot of benefit. Further it is expected to give better results than other resistive methods.

The Deontology of Using Pets in Academic Publishing-Related Sting Operations
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime , Al-Khatib Aceil
Published: October 2022

Academic publishing has become considerably stringent in the past few years because of increased scrutiny focused on an overwhelming number of challenges. One of the greatest challenges that academia faces is the notion that certain elements within science publishing have entered an era of ‘fake’. There are few moral arguments in favor of anything fake in academic publishing, including fake identities (authors, reviewers, or editors), fake peer reviews, or fake publications. We argue – humor aside – that a zero-tolerance approach is likely essential to prevent the proliferation of fake aspects in academic publishing, independent of the publishing venue, i.e., journal or publisher. Sting operations against ‘predatory’ publishing outlets, which involve the use of fake authors, papers, or editors, continue to be selectively praised, including by some media. In this opinion article, we focus on the personification of animals assuming roles within academic publishing, such as authors or editors, to emphasize that while perhaps there is an element of humor, such actions may further endanger scientific integrity, precisely at a time when academic publishing is in the phase of a crisis of trust. We believe that while the authors of such hoaxes and sting operations involving animals, as well as some readers, may find humor in these actions, academic publishing cannot and should not be equated with reality shows. We ultimately argue that such hoaxes and sting operations have no place in academic publishing, nor do they have any scholarly value. Finally, we put forward a set of guidelines that could assist academics, including early career researchers, editors, publishers and ethics-related organizations, in dealing with these threats.
Information Literacy Is a Social Practice: A Threshold Concept for Academic Instruction Librarians
Authors: Rath Logan
Published: October 2022

This article proposes that understanding information literacy as a social practice is a threshold concept for academic information literacy librarians. While the social nature of information literacy has been theorized for more than 25 years, the noted theory-to-practice gap in this area suggests a new question to be raised. This study explores how practicing academic librarians come to adopt this understanding, if at all. The article reports on the development of a grounded theory to explain the theory-to-practice gap. Participants were 17 academic instruction librarians who participated in interviews. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data and found that a threshold concept might explain a shift from seeing information literacy as skills-based to practice-based. Implications for LIS education include explicit discussion of this threshold concept as well as including the related concept of information landscapes in the LIS curriculum.
The sound of responsibility: evolution of the use of radio advertising as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication channel before and after Covid-19. A significant increase
Authors: Barrio-Fraile Estrella , Enrique-Jiménez Ana-María , Fajula-Payet Anna , Barbeito-Veloso María-Luz , Perona-Páez Juan-José
Published: October 2022

Radio is an audio communication medium that has always stood out for its credibility and close relationship to its audience, which makes it an appealing option for organizations that want to make their responsible behavior known. The Covid-19 pandemic has created a new landscape in which the strategic role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the company has been strengthened and in which advertising messages are proving to be an interesting way of disseminating organizations’ responsible actions. Based on the quantitative content analysis of 562 radio advertisements taken from the three principal mainstream Spanish radio broadcasters and collected 2 years apart (2019 and 2021), this study seeks to find out whether the Covid-19 health crisis has led to changes in the use of radio advertising as a vehicle for communicating organizations’ CSR. To this end, the variables analyzed were the presence of CSR elements, advertiser, economic sector, CSR dimensions, beneficiary stakeholders, and communication area. The results show, among other data, that the communication of CSR through radio advertising has experienced significant growth after overcoming the worst moments of the pandemic. This growth indicates that companies are increasingly sensitive to issues related to CSR and that radio advertising has provided them with a way to publicize their socially responsible actions. It seems that corporations understand that credibility, trust, and a not inconsiderable penetration rate encourage the circulation of their CSR campaigns through the medium of radio.

Authors: Mysnyk Oleksandr
Published: October 2022

The article proves that at the current stage of development of the market economy of the state and strengthening of its food security the effective development of the agricultural sector plays an extremely important role. Approaches are substantiated that fierce competition in world food markets, formed under the influence of globalization processes, encourages the search for new ways to develop the agricultural sector to produce quality and competitive products.

The basic principles of modern globalization processes are revealed, which encourage the development of new approaches to the organization of production in the agricultural sector and the formation of supply for its products, as well as give a powerful impetus to the development of Ukrainian agricultural producers and enter world food markets. Emphasis is placed on the fact that it is unlikely and impossible to ignore sectoral features, specifics of public policy and external food and financial challenges that determine the originality of economic development of the agricultural sector of each region of Ukraine. It is established that under such conditions the improvement of existing and development of new methods and mechanisms of its stimulation on the basis of available resource and human potentials, taking into account the specifics of agricultural production and modern economic environment, becomes especially important. At the same time, it was concluded that the agricultural sector of the economy belongs to the life-sustaining systems of society, forming its food resource, the state of which determines national, economic and food security, especially after the World Health Organization announced the spread of COVID19, as well as the critical loss of effective demand as a result of forced downtime, situational reorientation of financial priorities from the fight against corona virus, its spread to overcome the consequences.

This article emphasizes the role of the agricultural sector of the economy to ensure the growth of economic competitiveness, rural development. The structure of exports of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine is given. The need to increase investment in order to ensure a stable pace of production in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine was emphasized. Risks and negative factors that hinder the further development of the agricultural sector have been identified. The importance of state support for agriculture is emphasized. Prospects for the development and growth of the main types of products are determined. The main directions of reforming the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine to find new markets are presented.
La pratique de l’entretien prénatal précoce et son impact sur le parcours de soins psychiatrique : étude monocentrique observationnelle descriptive et rétrospective
Authors: Avit P. , Fillols M. , Toubin R.-M. , Baghdadli A.
Published: October 2022

Notre étude monocentrique et rétrospective porte sur le parcours de soins suite à l’entretien prénatal précoce (EPP) de 411 femmes enceintes recrutées pour l’étude sur une année. Environ 21 % ont bénéficié d’une orientation psychiatrique après l’EPP. Cette orientation était associée aux antécédents obstétricaux ou psychiatriques, au suivi psychiatrique, au tabagisme, à la prise de toxiques, à l’expression d’une plainte. Elle était associée pour la mère à une durée de séjour plus longue en maternité et un suivi plus fréquent par la PMI au retour à domicile et pour le bébé à une hospitalisation plus fréquente à la naissance. L’EPP constitue un outil de prévention des fragilités psychiques de la grossesse à condition qu’il soit étroitement relié à un travail de coordination des orientations dans les divers champs de l’anténatal et du postnatal.
Effectiveness of Online Versus Telephone Counseling of Rational-Emotional-Behavioral Therapy on Sexual Function of Women Undergoing Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Memar Fatemeh Zahra , Farajkhoda Tahmineh , Khanabadi Mahdi , Sarebanhassanabadi Mohammadtaghi
Published: October 2022

Background: Sexual function in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is often associated with anxiety and irrational beliefs. Moreover, 60-78% of patients with CVDs report sexual problems. Some studies suggest that sexual counseling is necessary for these patients but is not usually provided for them. Online or telephone counseling may be helpful during the covid-19 pandemic, but studies on its application to sexual function appear to be limited. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of online vs. telephone counseling of rational-emotional-behavioral therapy (REBT) on the sexual function of women undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, 46 women diagnosed with CVDs under rehabilitation were assigned into online and telephone groups. Overall, eight 60-min intervention sessions were held (once a week). The Female's Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was completed by the women at baseline, week 8th, and follow-up week 12th (main outcome). Results: FSFI scores between the two groups at baseline (online: 13.28Â±2, telephone: 12.68Â±1.52, P=0.254) compared to week 12th (online 28.86Â±2.44, telephone, 26.6Â±2.10, P=0.002) were significantly different. As for within-group comparison in baseline compared to week 12th statistically significant difference was observed in all subscales of FSFI (P<0.05). Conclusion: Online and telephone REBT counseling can improve the sexual function of women undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, but online counseling appears to be more effective. Thus, this method is recommended to improve the sexual function of these women during the covid-19 pandemic

The study is intended to give an idea of the growing number of corruption in Indonesia from year to year the authors consider it a gross inpunishment on the convict in corruption, resulting in the absence of a jerusal effect to be one of the goals of idomy.

 The problem which language writers in this study are how to carry out criminal sanctions on the charges of corruption in Indonesia is under the law on the elimination of criminal corruption and how a criminal social work formula is a renewed criminal law in Indonesia in the case of criminal corruption crime.

 Analysis using the approach of the law (conceptual approach), policy (approach , and conceptual approach . The results of this study prove that the criminal work social (community service order) that has been formulated as a main criminal from short-term prison crimes can be effectively formulated as a further criminal against corruption in Indonesia.

 A conclusion to the problem raised by the problem of criminal corruption can be effective when the primary goal of elimination is achieved.

 

Penelitian ini dibuat dengan tujuan memberikan gambaran tentang terus meningkatnya kasus korupsi di Indonesia dari tahun ketahun penulis anggap sebagai ketidakmaksimalan hukuman yang diberikan terhadap terpidana kasus korupsi sehingga tidak adanya efek jera yang diharapkan sebagai salah satu tujuan pemidanaan.

Permasalahan yang penulis bahasa pada penelitian ini adalah Bagaimana Pelaksanaan Sanksi Pidana dalam Perkara Tindak Pidana Korupsi di Indonesia berdasarkan Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi dan Bagaimana formulasi pidana kerja sosial sebagai pembaharuan hukum pidana di Indonesia  dalam perkara tindak pidana korupsi.

Analisis  dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang (statute approach), kebijakan (policy approach), dan konseptual (conceptual approach). Hasil studi ini membuktikan bahwa pidana kerja social (community service order) yang selama ini dirumuskan sebagai pidana pokok dari pidana penjara jangka pendek dapat diformulasikan secara efektif sebagai pidana tambahan terhadap tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia.

Kesimpulan dari rumusan masalah yang diangkat yaitu pemidanaan tindak pidana korupsi dapat berjalan efektif bila tujuan utama dalam pemidanaan tercapai.
Um começo para o começo: início absoluto, aufhebung, necessidade e contingência em Hegel
Authors: Albuquerque Rosmane Gabriele
Published: October 2022

RESUMO:
O presente artigo tem como objetivo indagar e talvez responder – com auxílio dos comentadores – dois pontos relevantes na lógica de Hegel. O primeiro, diz respeito à concepção de fundamentação de um sistema filosófico sem um começo: a ideia de um pressuposto incondicionado. O segundo, concerne à condiçõe das modalidades de necessidade e contingência numa lógica que se propõe absoluta. Como método absoluto, a ciência da lógica expõe o devir como condição do puro pensamento e Aufhebung [suprassunção] aparece como um conceito central, pois é o motor que impulsiona a dialética. Isso pode ser observado tanto na Ciência da Lógica (2016) – com as determinações do pensamento – como na Fenomenologia do Espiríto (2018) – com as figuras da consciência –. Observa-se que há uma relação entre os conceitos de Aufhebung, necessidade e início absoluto. Por tanto, a partir dessa relação, objetiva-se expor a condição das modalidades de necessidade e contingência num sistema absolouto.
O individual e o coletivo em Taylor e Platão
Authors: Simer Corbani Weriquison , Oliveira Bagalho Jaqueline
Published: October 2022

Na obra Multiculturalismo: examinando a política do reconhecimento de Charles Taylor, a ideia de identidade individual é apresentada, em termos político-culturais, como fosse em parte dependente das identidades coletivas. Nesse sentido, a solução política para a harmonização social e até mesmo para a formação cultural das identidades particulares está ligada à coletividade. No Político de Platão, embora a preocupação final também seja de harmonizar o coletivo, a pólis, a arte política atua antes no ajuste da psyché individual. Isto porque o coletivo é uma espécie de espelhamento do indivíduo. Se por um lado Platão é taxado de idealista para as soluções políticas que apresenta para a questão coletiva, por outro, não o é quando aponta que o discurso (filosófico) é capaz de reorientar o indivíduo para a vida política.
O problema da relação intelecto-cérebro na obra de Schopenhauer com ênfase especial ao “paradoxo de Zeller”
Authors: Damasceno Uchôas Pedro
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal investigar e circunscrever a relação problemática entre intelecto e cérebro na obra de Arthur Schopenhauer, de acordo com a já conhecida formulação de Eduard Zeller. Desse modo, pode-se contemplar o lugar dos conceitos de intelecto e cérebro no âmbito da explicação metafísica da natureza, tendo-se sempre como noção diretora central a distinção entre os modos de consideração do mundo, apresentadas simultaneamente ainda no texto de O mundo como vontade e como representação e aperfeiçoada e mencionada com mais cuidado nas obras posteriores. Se, por um lado, o mundo é objeto de investigação através da subjetividade e de suas formas de existência, por outro ele é investigado através de um modo de consideração objetivo, que, inicialmente, toma os objetos como existentes por si mesmos, independentemente de qualquer sujeito. Sem poder existir totalmente em separado, na medida em que cada objeto existe apenas para o sujeito, ambos os modos devem confluir para a explicação completa do mundo, como complementação um do outro: o intelecto deve ser também considerado do ponto de vista objetivo e o cérebro segundo a análise do modo de consideração subjetivo, integrando-o na explicação geral do mundo e da natureza.
Destino e predeterminação. Considerações nietzschianas em torno à acolhida jubilosa do fato para além de determinismos
Authors: Feiler Adilson Felicio
Published: October 2022

O presente trabalho se assenta sobre um tema fundamental dentro do conjunto do pensamento de Nietzsche: o tema do Destino. Se o Destino for encarrado como algo previamente decidido em relação às mais diversas situações, então a filosofia de Nietzsche se esbarra numa aporia, a de ter que enfrentar o problema do determinismo, que toca um dos maiores obstáculos da cultura: a moral. No âmbito moral tudo se encontra ordenado e determinado. Neste sentido, o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa se orienta na direção de um aprofundamento das implicações filosóficas atinentes ao Destino. Encarrado como tornar-se a organização particular de impulsos, o Destino perde o sentido de predeterminação e decisão pronta e acabada sobre as diferentes situações. Em que medida falar sobre o Destino, no âmbito de pensamento nietzschiano, implica em abertura à plenitude, para além de todas as formas de determinismo?
SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR TOPRAK YÖNETİMİNDE TOPRAK ORGANİK KARBONUNUN ÖNEMİ
Authors: TOPÇU Pınar , YAVUZ Özlem , TOLUNAY Ahmet
Published: October 2022

Atmosferdeki karbon miktarında yaşanılan artışı tetikleyen unsurlar arasında yanlış tarım tekniklerinin uygulanması, orman alanlarının tahrip edilmesi ve arazi kullanımında görülen değişimler yer almaktadır. Bu yükselme eğilimin önüne geçebilmenin en etkili yollarından birisi de karbonun “toprak” bünyesinde kalmasının sağlanabilmesidir. Karbonun toprağın bünyesinde depolanabilmesi için çölleşme ile mücadele edilmesi, biyoçeşitlilik kayıplarının durdurulması ve arazi tahribatının dengelenmesi kritik adımlar olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Ancak, Arazi Tahribatının Dengelenmesi (ATD)’nin sağlanmasında önemli bir biyofiziksel göstergesi olan ve Küresel Toprak Paydaşlığı (Globa Soil Partnership-GSP) tarafından toprağa yönelik on temel tehdit arasında görülen “toprak organik karbonundaki kayıplar” günümüzde etkisini daha yoğun olarak hissettirmektedir. Bu kapsamda, toprak organik karbonundaki kayıpların önüne geçebilmek ve Sürdürülebilir Toprak Yönetimi (STY) sağlamayı teminen, toprak organik karbon stoklarının miktarının belirlenmesi, zamansal ve alansal değişkenliğinin izlenmesi, stok miktarının korunması ve artırılmasına yönelik faaliyetlere daha fazla ağırlık verilmeli ve bu çalışmalar çeşitlendirilmelidir. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda, bu çalışmada Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma için 2030 Gündemi başta olmak üzere, toprak organik karbonunun STY içerisindeki yeri ve önemine değinilmiştir. Türkiye’de bu alanda gerçekleştirilen proje örnekleriyle zenginleştirilen çalışma ile konuya ilişkin politika önerilerinde bulunulmuştur.

Published: October 2022

Obstruction of the superior vena cava (SVC) is a rare complication after cardiac surgery in infants and children. We present the case of a 2-year-old male child who underwent surgery to repair a mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. After 18 months of surgery, the child developed SVC syndrome. Transcatheter stenting was performed to relieve the SVC obstruction detected with transthoracic echocardiography. The patient was discharged after 5 days of hospitalization. The patient was doing well at follow-up appointments, with good laminar flow through the stent. In conclusion, transcatheter management of post-surgical complications of SVC obstruction was successful in this patient.

Published: October 2022

Myxofibrosarcoma is an unusual type of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that arises in subcutaneous tissue in the limbs of elderly patients and uncommonly involves the breast. We report a rare case of myxofibrosarcoma that occurred in a male breast. A 57-year-old man was referred to our department for a right breast mass. Physical examination revealed an irregular lump without skin involvement. Ultrasonography and mammography showed an oval and hypoechoic opacity with increased internal vascularity. The patient had a core needle biopsy that showed a sarcoma of the breast. The patient underwent a simple mastectomy. The pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of high-grade myxofibrosarcoma of the breast and the patient had local radiotherapy. After a follow-up of 18 months, the patient has no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases. Myxofibrosrcoma of the breast is extremely rare but should be diagnosed as soon as possible because of the rapid growth of the tumor and the better prognosis in the early stages.
A case series of scar endometriosis after cesarean section
Authors: Desai Suruchi , Mistry Hetal U , Parikh Rashmi
Published: October 2022

Endometriosis is referred to the presence of functioning, ectopic endometrial tissue outside the pelvic cavity. Their occurrences after abdominal or pelvic surgeries especially cesarean section, at the site of scar incision, are documented. The patient experiences cyclical pain at the incision site related to the menstrual cycle. Imaging can be used to detect the lesion and medical management can be provided. However, in severe cases, total excision is recommended to avoid the chances of recurrence. Here, we present a case series of two cases of scar endometriosis after cesarean section, and both presented with cyclical pain in the abdomen. Medical management was provided for both cases.

Published: October 2022

Background: Mastalgia is common among women and its aetiology is still not fully understood. Studies are conducted to reveal the relationship between breast pain and psychosomatic disorders. The goals of the project are to compare the interaction of psychological symptoms and health related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with mastalgia between East and West of Turkey.
Materials and Methods: Seventy-four women from the General Surgery Clinic of Diyarbakır Ergani Hospital (Eastern group) (n=39) and Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (Western group) (n=35) were included in the study. The symptom checklist-90-revised (SCL-90-R) scales was used to evaluate physiological findings and Short Form-36 (SF-36) scales was used for evaluating health related quality of life (HRQL).
Results: Median age of patients from Eastern group was 27.54 (18-39) years and 35.57 (18-70) years in Western group (t=-4.585, P<0.0001). Average Global Severity İndex (GSI) scores of the eastern group were statistically significantly higher than the western group (P<0.01). When the SCL-90-R values ​​of the eastern and western groups are compared, somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety, psychoticism, depression and anxiety in the eastern group are higher than the western group. According to SF-36 results, the mean scores in the eastern group tended to be lower than in the western group.
Conclusion: The results revealed that psychological symptoms differ between east and west of Turkey. This may indicate that socio-economic differences may also have effects on psychological symptoms. In addition, mastalgia negatively affects women's quality of life.
The Role of Multidirectional Diffusion Weighted Imaging in the diagnosis of breast carcinoma in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Authors: Gunbey Karabekmez Leman
Published: October 2022

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used in breast imaging. Diffusion imaging (DWI) is used in conjunction with contrast enhanced series. There will be a signal difference between the stationary and moving water molecules in DWI, due to the fact that all molecules will receive a first gradient pulse and then another pulse at the 180 degree-reverse direction of the first one. The stationary molecules will have zero signal after the two of the pulses and show restriction (low signal). Whereas, the moving molecule will not be at the same location and escape from the 180 degree pulse and have an energy in the end of the gradients. Multidirectional Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (MDDWI) gives information signifying water’s capacity to move freely in a direction according to its physiological and pathological boundaries, which is referred to as fractional anisotropy (FA). This study aimed to determine the usefulness of FA maps in in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions.
Methods: The patients had breast MRI including MDDWI series and went through pathological evaluation (Seventy-nine patients with 86 lesions) were included in the study. The FA values were measured in addition to the conventional Diffusion-ADC values. Also, diffusion restriction and pathology results were noted. The lesion FA and ADC values, diffusion assessment, and pathology results were compared using the Student t-test.
Results: The patients were between 23 and 76 years and mean age for benign lesions was 43.9 whereas, it was 50.4 for the malignant lesions. Fourty-five patients had benign lesions and 41 had malignant. Mean ADC values were significant between benign and malignant lesions (correspondingly; 1256.5x10–3 mm²/s. and 978.7x10–3 mm²/s.) The FASD value of each lesion was found to be significant for malignant lesions (100x10–3), especially those with restricted diffusion. In addition, for lesions with restricted diffusion, the maximum FA (75x10–3) and mean FA(200x10–3 ) values were found to be significant for malignancy. A cut-off point of 500×10–3 of FA max was found to be a value that could be used to increase the specificity of suspicious lesions with restricted diffusion
Conclusion: Restricted diffusion is used as a supporting finding for biopsy indication. But due to its lower specificity DWI cannot be very helpful in the aspect of increasing specificity of conventional breast MRI. In the search of finding a tool to increase the specificity of breast MRI, FA values seem to have the potential in differentiating benign lesions.

Background: The experience of anxiety as a bad experience creates a different behavioral, cognitive, and emotional response that preserves annoying thoughts and inefficient beliefs. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and spirituality therapy in reducing anxiety in women with breast cancer in Tehran.
Methods: This was a pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design research with a control group and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population comprised women with breast cancer visiting the Gynecological Ultra-Specialized Cancer Center of Khatam-al-Anbya Hospital in Tehran in 2021. In total, 45 women with breast cancer were selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group (n=15). The first and second experimental groups underwent eight 60-minute sessions of ACT and eight 60-minute sessions of spiritual therapy, respectively. The research instruments included the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). The collected data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: The results showed that ACT and spiritual therapy significantly reduced generalized anxiety scores in the experimental groups compared to the control group (P<0.01). Moreover, the absence of anxiety significantly increased in the two experimental groups that underwent ACT and spirituality therapy compared to the control group (P<0.01). However, ACT and spirituality therapy did not differ significantly in their effects on the dependent variables.
Conclusion: This study achieved promising results concerning the applicability of ACT and spirituality therapy in reducing anxiety in women with breast cancer.  Based on the results, holding ACT and spirituality therapy workshops may exert beneficial effects on reducing anxiety in women with breast cancer.

Published: October 2022

Стаття присвячена аналізу впливу російсько-української війни на банківську систему України. Сьогодні в нашій країні йде війна, тому сутність статті полягає в тому, щоб дослідити особливості функціонування банківської системи в цей непростий час та запропонувати кроки для підтримання стабільності банківського сектору, що в свою чергу зменшить негативний вплив на фінансову систему. У статті визначено основні ризики з якими стикнулася банківська система під час війни, досліджено зміни в банківських операціях (роздрібному кредитуванні, іпотечному кредитуванні, валютних операціях), також досліджено зміну облікової ставки НБУ та наслідки цього кроку для депозитних та кредитних операцій та загальні зміни в правилах діяльності банків. Автором запропоновано кроки, які допоможуть удосконалити роботу банків в період військового стану та відновити економіку в післявоєнний період. Також розкрито роль НБУ як основного регулятора діяльності комерційних банків та обгрунтовано важливість дотримання вимог НБУ комерційними банками.
МИТНА СПРАВА ТА МИТНА ПОЛІТИКА ДЕРЖАВИ
Authors: Резнік Надія , Боровик Тетяна
Published: October 2022

Досліджено співвідношення понять «митна справа» та «митна політика» в єдиному процесі розвитку національної системи митного регулювання зовнішньоекономічної діяльності суб’єктів господарювання України. Представлено об’єктивний та сутнісний підходи до розуміння поняття «митна справа». Узагальнено, що митна справа це специфічна сфера діяльності держави, у межах якої забезпечується реалізація та захист митними органами публічних інтересів у сфері зовнішньоекономічної політики, національної та економічної безпеки держави. Визначено поняття митної політики, як складової частини внутрішньої та зовнішньої політики, яка визначає зміст діяльності держави та її компетентних органів у сфері регулювання зовнішньоекономічних відносин та організації митної справи та щодо захисту національних інтересів, національної безпеки та економічного суверенітету держави. Узагальнено, що митна політика та митна діяльність, насамперед, завжди нерозривно пов'язані із зовнішньоекономічною діяльністю держави, оскільки причиною їх виникнення є наявність міждержавних економічних (торговельних) відносин як об'єкта державного впливу та контролю. Цей факт зумовлює переважання економічного характеру функцій митної політики. Виділено три основні функції митної політики: фіскальна; регулятивна; захисна. Встановлено, що для виконання державою своїх обов'язків у рамках митної політики існують специфічні засоби впливу на розглянуту групу суспільних відносин, що входять до складу конкретного державного інституту, визначеного, зокрема, терміном «митна справа». Доведено, що окремі засоби митної політики, об’єднані в специфічний інститут державного управління під назвою «митна справа», мають кінцевою метою свого застосування виконання основної функції митної політики України захисту національних інтересів та національної безпеки. Обґрунтовано, що митна справа це діяльність держави та її уповноважених органів щодо встановлення тарифних і нетарифних обмежень переміщення товарів через митний кордон та контролю за їх виконанням з метою реалізації державної митної політики. Зважаючи на це, такі визначення митної справи та митної політики видаються більш доцільними, оскільки вони більш повно показують співвідношення цих двох понять.

В роботі ідентифіковано основні виклики для міжнародних компаній в розрізі використання ними концепції внутрішнього маркетингу, а саме: адаптація працівників до нових умов роботи (віддалена робота, тотальна діджиталізація внутрішніх комунікаційних процесів); ментальне здоров’я співробітників; формування спільноти однодумців із співробітників, власників компанії та інших зацікавлених сторін; диференціація співвідношення матеріальна-моральна винагорода залежно від країни, де компанія здійснює свою діяльність. На основі проведеного дослідження виокремлено два мегатренди розвитку внутрішнього маркетингу в найближчому майбутньому. Перший пов'язаний із гібридною роботою та є результатом зміни очікувань щодо гнучкості, на яку сьогодні люди хочуть розраховувати у виборі часу, місця та способу роботи. Другим мегатрендом слід зазначити переосмислення сенсу життя, на пріоритетне місце для співробітників в усьому світі виходить баланс робота-сенс.
ЕКОНОМІЧНА СТАБІЛЬНІСТЬ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА
Authors: Степаненко Тетяна
Published: October 2022

Проаналізовано сутність економічної стабільності підприємства через критерії внутрішнього потенціалу та здатності протистояти зовнішнім чинникам, як рівноважний стан функціонування підприємства, через критерії ресурсного підходу. Економічною стабільністю визначено контрольований та стійкий до зовнішнього впливу стан економічної системи, здатний забезпечувати прибутковий та конкурентний розвиток підприємства. Запропоновано підхід до оцінювання економічної стабільності за наступними етапами: визначення стратегічної мети функціонування підприємства, формування системи критеріїв оцінювання економічної стабільності, діагностика підприємства відповідно до визначених критеріїв та стратегічної мети, діагностика зовнішнього середовища та оцінювання впливу на внутрішній потенціал підприємства, визначення рівня розриву між критеріями економічної стабільності та поточним станом підприємства, розробка комплексної програми дій з досягнення критеріїв економічної стабільності. Програма дій з досягнення економічної стабільності має включати наступний інструментарій: управлінські інструменти, економічні інструменти, кадрові, інноваційні та техніко-технологічні, маркетингові інструменти. Важливе значення має сценарне моделювання стану підприємства, що дозволяє спрогнозувати майбутні тенденції в розвитку підприємства. Мають розроблятись декілька сценаріїв: оптимістичний, реалістичний та песимістичний.
