Authors: Aawan Sajid Mahmood , Shah Syed Ali , Ali Syed Rashid
Published: November 2019

Demographic characteristics of varying societies vary from area to area depending on the ecological patterns of different societies. The commencement, receipt, and popularization of the movement of birth control were not identical all across the world. The idea of birth control reflects one of the most interesting episodes in the history of modern ideas. It is widely known as all the methods used to regulate or prevent the birth of children. It is deliberate prevention or delaying of births by various artificial means. Family Planning or Planned Parenthood is the term generally used to refer more broadly to policies, programs, and services designed to assist people in practicing birth control. The present study claims that all apparently religious doctrines against family planning are actually the expression of their local worldview. Accordingly, the people consider their opposition to the idea of family planning justified in Islam, though in reality, they derive their feelings from their socio-economic considerations.

Authors: Gul Saima , Umer Saima , Malik Muhammad Shoaib
Published: November 2019

China is an emerging superpower expanding its influence all over the world. But Chinas rise is a peaceful one and will be beneficial for the countries that are being involved in the process of development through the BRI. This project is a comprehensive portrait of the complex interdependence between China and the developing economies. China is getting the opportunities to expand its market and to secure its integrity beyond its borders. Emerging China is offering a chance to the developing economies to recover and further promote their economies. The BRI can be a debt quagmire or a ridge rope for the concerned states, depending upon the perception and use of it. Unfortunately, the growing influence of China is troubling the current hegemonic positions. This papers intention is to analyze the reality of the debt trap diplomacy, whether it actually is a trap or is being negatively propagated to contain Chinas rapidly growing power.

Special Economic Zones: A Comparison of the Economic Policies of China and Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Sohail , Kaleem Inayat , Satti Hajra Nasir
Published: November 2019

China established Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the late seventies and eighties which later became major drivers of their economic development. Now China is replicating the same phenomenon in Pakistan under CPEC. China, through the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the flagship project of One Belt One Road, has pledged to invest sixty-two (62) billion US dollars in Pakistan. The development of SEZs in Pakistan is divided into two phases. Phase one started in 2012, and the main focus in this phase was on Dhabeji, Rashakai Faisalabad. In phase two nine SEZs will be developed. If Pakistan successfully manages the SEZs it will shift the country towards industrialization in the long run and stabilize the Pakistani economy in the short run. However, many inconsistencies have originated due to Pakistans weak economic policies. This paper will provide a comparison between the SEZs in Pakistan and China, and how Pakistan can capitalize on the SEZs and pave the way for industrialization.
Due Economy is Based on Authenticity? Authentic Leader’s Personality and Employees’ Voice Behaviour
Authors: Zia-ur Rehman Muhammad , Shahbaz Atiqa , Hassan Noor
Published: November 2019

The study examines the impact of authentic leader’s personality on employee voice behavior through a quantitative study. The results, from a sample of 200 subordinate–supervisor dyads from a healthcare organization in Pakistan, provide evidence of a positive relationship for leader authentic personality with direct reports’ ratings of the leaders’ authentic leadership. In addition, authentic leadership was found to influence subordinates’ voice behavior, as rated by subordinates’ immediate supervisors; notably, this relationship was partially mediated by the subordinates’ perceptions of OBSE. Furthermore, leader authentic personality was indirectly related to subordinates’ voice behaviour through the mediating influence of authentic leadership and, in turn, subordinates’ perceptions of Organization-based selfesteem. The findings of this study will make management understand the linkage of an authentic leader’s personality and employee voice behavior.
CHRONIC STRESS AND ITS METABOLIC SUPPORT
Authors: Gozhenko A.I. , Hryshko Yu.M.
Published: November 2019

Adaptation of the body to the action of stress factors occurs as a result of changes in physiological constants while maintaining the level of metabolic processes, is provided by simultaneous changes in the biochemical, primarily energy supply of tissues. Regardless of the nature of the stress-inducing effect, it is versatile. The body responds to stress with a stereotypical set of biochemical and physiological processes, the course of which provides non-specific or urgent adaptation. Environmental factors, to which the body adapts, acting in different ways, ultimately lead to the same general set of disorders - a lack of energy supply, an increase in the phosphorylation potential and the mobilization of energy resources. Chronic psychoemotional stress causes prolonged peroxidation of heart lipids, activation of lipases and phospholipases, and also contributes to the development of vascular atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and hypertension. In chronic stress, a situation arises when stressful influences, primarily psycho-emotional ones, are not always accompanied by an increase in function. At the same time, the stereotypicity of the stress response is in the simultaneous, but not adequate function of the change in metabolism, because the same regulatory systems work simultaneously. A state arises that we previously described as a somato-regulatory imbalance. One of the main manifestations of which is the inadequacy of the energy biochemical support of the body, i.e., a violation of the functional-metabolic continuum (FMC). It is this (hyperglycemia, hyperlipemia, activation of peroxidative metabolism) that acts as the main pathogenetic factors that are responsible for a number of pathophysiological disorders in chronic stress.
MODERN ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEM OF RELATIONSHIP OF DISEASES OF PERIODONTAL AND DIABETES I TYPE IN CHILDREN
Authors: Kuz I.O. , Sheshukova O.V.
Published: November 2019

The literature review considers selected modern scientific publications by foreign, Ukrainian and Russian authors regarding pathological changes in the periodontal tissues of children with type I diabetes.

Analysis of scientific sources reveals that diabetes is acquiring the characteristics of omnipresent epidemic not only in Ukraine but also in the global scale. The unprecedented increase in the incidence of type I diabetes, even in children under 3 years of age should be taken into account too. It should be borne in mind that diabetes is characterized by a significant prevalence, lifelong course, early disability and high mortality rates. Although there are a number of authors claiming that dental diseases in children with diabetes are not more pronounced than in healthy ones, the vast majority of scientists still acknowledge such interconnection. They emphasize the regenerative ability of the oral mucosa is reduced, periodontal disease is a complication of diabetes and requires appropriate measures in the form of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment. The review provides information on current views on pathogenetic common features for endocrinological diseases and periodontal pathologies, namely: angiopathy (at the level of blood vessels of the microvasculature), metabolic disorders, changes in lipid peroxidation, autoaggression and the occurrence of secondary immunodeficiency. Research data on the nature and degree of indicators’ changes of oral immunity in chronic catarrhal gingivitis in somatically healthy children and children with concomitant somatic pathology are quite contradictory. There exists a need for further review of existing and conduct modern clinical studies related to biochemical processes in saliva and other body fluids, which could clarify the interrelationship between gingivitis, on the one hand, and type I diabetes, on the other. Thus, a deep and comprehensive study of the abovementioned relationship remains expedient, and the development of therapeutic measures in children with inflammatory periodontal diseases is especially relevant.

Authors: Fedorchenko I.L.
Published: November 2019

The review examines the age characteristics of the greater omentum, its metric and topographic parameters. It has been revealed that the shape of the greater omentum can be single-, two- and multi-lobular, which is determined by its loose part. The linear dimensions of the greater omentum are consistent with the stature type and age range. The length of the loose portion of the greater omentum varies widely and ranges from 20 to 43 cm (average 31.58 ± 0.8 cm); the area of the surface of the greater omentum in adults reaches an average of 0.81 m2, which is almost half the entire surface of the peritoneum and is on average 0.40 m2. The range of individual variability in the size of the greater omentum varies at different ages of the child's development. It is especially large at the end of the first year of life. In the next 2-4 years of life, the range of variability of the greater omentum narrows slightly, the largest growth of linear sizes of the greater omentum is observed during the first year of life of the child and they increase by 2 times, and the area – by 3 times. The asymmetry of the longitudinal dimensions of the greater omentum on the right and left also increases. The boundaries of the greater omentum are: liver, spleen, parietal peritoneum of anterior abdominal wall, small intestine, ascending and descending part of the colon. It has been revealed that the main source of blood supply of the human greater omentum is the abdominal and upper mesenteric arteries, the anterior duplication of the greater omentum receives nutrition from the short and long omental arteries, and numerous small arterial vessels are involved in the blood supply of the upper left part of the omentum; they are located in the thickness of the gastro-splenic ligament. Usually 5-13 branches ramify from the right gastrointestinal artery, and one branches off from the left one. The left gastrointestinal artery has a length of 7 to 21 cm and the right gastrointestinal artery – from 10 to 38 cm.

Published: November 2019

According to WHO, acute respiratory diseases are at the forefront of the incidence rate of infants and are among the most common diseases due to which children are hospitalized. The aim of the research was to analyze the structure of morbidity and features of the course in acute respiratory diseases in infants with the study of the frequency of leading nosological forms that required inpatient treatment. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of inpatients (3845 children), treated during 2016-2018 was conducted. The study found that there is a tendency for an increase in the number of infants who require inpatient treatment, as well as an increased number of nosologies in the treated children. As the underlying disease, the first place in the structure of the morbidity belonged to acute respiratory viral infections. In the dynamics of the studied years, an increase in the frequency of acute obstructive bronchitis was noted. This pathology has the second place in the structure of morbidity among hospitalized children. The permanent third place in the structure of nosologies belongs to acute pneumonia. The premorbid background of most children with bronchial obstruction syndrome and acute community-acquired pneumonia was aggravated. The most commonly determined disorders were I-II degree anemia, overweight, impaired calcium metabolism, aggravated allergic history, transient immune deficiency. Conclusions. Our analysis of the structure of acute respiratory pathology in infants who required inpatient treatment showed that in the dynamics of 2016-2018, there was an increase in cases of acute obstructive bronchitis and acute community-acquired pneumonia. The study of general structure of nosologies in children treated at the inpatient department revealed an increase in their number and a tendency for the formation of comorbid pathology in infants.
ALTERATION OF ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS IN SEEDS OF MEDICINAL HERBS UNDER HIGH FREQUENCY IRRADIATION EXPOSURE

Published: November 2019

The paper describes the process of changing the electrical properties of wheat seeds exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic irradiation. It has been proven that temperature is one of the factors influencing the consequences of pre-sowing seed treatment. It has been found out that along with heating, some other physical processes occur in the seed structure at the level of cell membranes and intramembranous transport. The transformation of protein structures, the polarization of cell membranes, and intensification of metabolic processes under the exposure to high-frequency irradiation can lead to an alteration in the electrical properties of seeds and, as a consequence, to an effect on the physiological state, similarity and growth energy of plants. The result of the action of a high-frequency electromagnetic field on the seeds depends on the electrical characteristics of the seeds. A physical and mathematical model of the electrical properties of biological seed tissue has been proposed. According to this model the cells are regarded as parallelepipeds of particular sizes surrounded by external cellular membranes, which, in turn, are surrounded by intercellular substance. This substance is characterized by considerable electrical conductivity. The interior of the cell is also characterized by high conductivity. The cell membrane is characterized by complex resistance having active and capacitive components. The change in the passive electrical characteristics of seeds exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic field has been theoretically grounded and supported by the experiments. This study has also demonstrated changes in the dielectric permeability of seeds, their complex and active resistance, polarization coefficient, and dielectric loss tangent as a result of electromagnetic stimulation. It is noteworthy that the seeds cannot be represented as a uniform dielectric in which only one of the known types of polarization (electronic, dipole, space-charge) occurs. The seed includes biological membranes, the state of which significantly affects the electrical properties. The degree of polarization of the membranes in a certain way changes due to the exposure of any external stimuli. It has been established that an increase in the complex resistance of the biological tissue, an increase in the polarization of cell membranes indicates an intensification of metabolic processes and, as a result, stimulates the process of seed germination and rapid vegetation in the early stages of plant development.
IDENTIFYING SAFETY ANATOMICAL PARAMETERS OF PERIANAL SEGMENT IN RADICAL SURGICAL OPERATIONS FOR PILONIDAL DISEASE IN CHILDREN
Authors: Shavliuk R.V. , Konoplytsky V.S.
Published: November 2019

Pilonidal disease is a common pathology; the history of its investigating is quite long that can explain a large number of existing theories regarding its genesis and methods of correction. However, one of the best methods of performing radical surgery for pilonidal disease was the surgical intervention suggested by G.E. Karydakis in 1992. However, the lack of a clear anatomical reasoning for performing this surgery can lead to damage to important anatomical structures that are within the area of ​​surgery. Objective: to carry out detailed study at the microscopic level the structure of muscular tissues forming the internal and external sphincters of the rectum to provide anatomical grounds for selecting the techniques of radical surgery and to determine clear anatomical landmarks when performing surgical access. Materials and Methods: the study was performed on 10 corpses of children who had no any perianal and pelvic pathology in their lifetime. The age of children (5 girls and 5 boys) ranged from 12 to 17 years. Tissue samples were fixed in 10% neutral formalin solution for 24-48 hours and then dehydrated. Histological cross sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and by van Gieson technique. Results and discussion. The histological examination of the removed blocks of tissues located at 3`, 6`, 9` and 12` in the dorsal position revealed the main morphometric characteristics of the soft tissues of the perianal area with a targeted examination of the external sphincter of the anus. It has been established that the cross-sectional area of ​​the muscle bundles of the latter can vary significantly depending on the age and physique of the child. The spatial structure of the external sphincter of the anus has been described as well. According to morphometry, the latter is ellipse-shaped, elongated along the anterior-posterior direction with the centre displaced in the caudal direction relative to the anus. Conclusion. 1. The anatomical structure of the perianal area contains fibers of the external anal sphincter in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat, which can be damaged when performing radical surgery for pilonidal disease in children. 2. A detailed study of the anatomy of the perianal area enables to clearly identify the anatomical landmarks of the access edges in radical surgery for pilonidal disease in children. 3. The implementation of radical surgery for pilonidal disease in children requires more detailed study, since the empirical recommendations for their performing pose some risks of disruption of the normal body functioning due to damage to important anatomical structures of the perianal area. 4. The distal incision boundaries when removing the pilonidal cyst should be replaced not by 2 cm from the edge of the anal ring, but by 3 cm, as there is a risk of damage to part of the sphincter apparatus of the outlet.
Infinite Kirchhoff plate on a compact elastic foundation may have arbitrary small eigenvalue
Authors: Nazarov S. A.
Published: November 2019

An inhomogeneous Kirhhoff plate composed from semi-infinite strip-waveguide and a compaсt resonator which is in contact with the Winkler foundation of small compliance, is considered. It is shown that for any 0, it is possible to find the compliance coefficient O(2) such that the described plate possesses the eigenvalue 4embedded into continuous spectrum. This result is quite surprising because in an acoustic waveguide (the spectral Neumann problem for the Laplace operator) a small eigenvalue does not exist for any unsubstantial perturbation. A reason of this dissension is explained as well.

Authors: Alymov M. I. , Vadchenko S. G. , Suvorova E. V. , Zelensky V. A. , Ankudinov A. B.
Published: November 2019

Ignition of Fe nanopowders of bulk density and its samples compacted to relative density of 0,3-0,5 was studied while they were heated in the air. The ignition temperature of the compacted samples does not depend on the heating rate and comprises 100-115 C. The oxidation process includes the stages of inert heating, ignition, surface and filtration modes of the reaction and afterburning. The time of the active stages, i.e. ignition and filtration mode, depends on the sample density at the same heating terms. It allows one to develop storage methods of Fe nanopowders as compacts.
The sources of zircons in clastic rocks of the Riphean deposits of the Urals
Authors: Krasnobaev A. A. , Puchkov V. N. , Sergeeva N. D. , Busharina S. V.
Published: November 2019

New age determinations of detrital zircons of sandstones augmented the possibilities of interpretation of their provenance. This interpretation is often restricted by a formal comparison of age-and-composition characteristics of detrital crystals with any very distant model objects. A different situation arises when the role of a source of a detritus is claimed by local objects. The analysis of SHRIMP and TIMS - datеs of zircons and U and Th concentrations in them, and also a comparison of histograms of primary zircons from Riphean volcanics and rocks of the Taratash complex on one hand and the detrital zircons from the sandstones of Vendian (Asha series) and Lower Riphean (Ai Formation) on the other, have shown that the age variations of sources and clastics are comparable in many aspects. It means that the age characteristics of primary zircons from the Riphean volcanics and rocks of the Taratash complex as sources of zircon clastics for the Riphean and Vendian sandstones in the Southern Urals are regulated by processes of resedimentation, though the influence of distant sources is not excluded.
Modeling method for obtaining kinetic parameters of metamorphic reactions in texture-homogeneous rocks
Authors: Likhanov I. I.
Published: November 2019

A new approach for deriving kinetic parameters of diffusion-controlled metamorphic reactions is described. It is based on comparison of models of temperature field evolution near a cylindrical intrusion and observable chemical changes in minerals at the contact aureole of the Kharlovo massif. The calculations yielded estimates of the effective rates of metamorphic reactions (~10-12 s-1) and the effective diffusion coefficient (5.29 10-16 cm2s-1 at T = 475 С). These values are consistent with experimentally and theoretically derived estimates of solid-state diffusion, including grain-boundary diffusion in mineral aggregates and segregations for the respective PT-parameters.

El desarrollo endógeno y aprendizaje institucional: Una relación recursiva
Authors: Petrizzo Páez María Angela
Published: November 2019

“Este artículo ilustra el modo en que el aprendizaje en las instituciones públicas puede operar como catalizador de la formación ciudadana y como operador fundamental en el proceso de Desarrollo Endógeno, configurándose una relación recursiva entre ambos. En este sentido y partiendo de una propuesta cercana a las ciencias gerenciales acerca del aprendizaje organizacional, se asume al aprendizaje institucional como su equivalente a la luz de lo que Boisier (2002) llama conversaciones sociales, y el modo en que éstas contribuyen por una parte a la generación de sinergias cognitivas entre sus participantes y, por la otra, a la construcción de un discurso de la acción política más apropiado tanto para las instituciones públicas como para los ciudadanos. Los procesos de aprendizaje institucional pueden ser observados a través del análisis del discurso de las instituciones públicas y de la posibilidad construir internamente una memoria colectiva. De la propuesta presentada, se desprende la posibilidad de observar si, a través del ejercicio de las funciones básicas de las instituciones públicas esto es, custodiar y gestionar lo público, la presencia de un proceso de aprendizaje colectivo y crítico revertido hacia los ciudadanos y que cuente con su participación”.

El propósito de este artículo es la construcción de un indicador de gestión universitaria fundamentado en el clima organizacional. Se describen las etapas y cada uno de los pasos, a fin de proporcionar una metodología que podrá emplearse para obtener otros indicadores de gestión. El diseño del estudio fue descriptivo-exploratorio. Se partió del contenido de un cuestionario de clima organizacional universitario con cualidades psicométricas probadas en estudios previos. Veinte profesionales expertos en el área de la gerencia fueron entrevistados mediante la técnica Delphi, para seleccionar los aspectos más importantes y jerarquizar los componentes del clima universitario; el consenso se logró en dos rondas. La estimación de puntuaciones factoriales y la construcción de la ecuación que define al indicador se realizaron mediante análisis estadístico aplicado a las respuestas dadas al cuestionario. Se concluye que el indicador construido posee atributos ajustados a los exigidos por la teoría que considera a los indicadores de gestión como un medio para retroalimentar y monitorear los procesos de trabajo, desde una perspectiva gerencial y social.

Las familias en las que cada cónyuge busca su desarrollo de carrera representan el nuevo estándar en el orden social contemporáneo. Este artículo explora sobre el tipo de apoyo que se percibe como más relevante para el desarrollo de carrera de un profesional miembro de una familia de doble carrera. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante la técnica de muestreo no probabilística. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 51 empleados miembros de familia de doble carrera. Los resultados del estudio muestran que el apoyo organizacional es muy relevante para el desarrollo de la carrera, particularmente la dimensión emocional, informativa e instrumental. El segundo determinante es el apoyo familiar, siendo la dimensión emocional la más crítica. Este estudio en el contexto Peruano concuerda con los hallazgos de estudios previos. Concluimos que las familias de doble carrera perciben como factor prioritario para su desarrollo el apoyo que les puedan brindar sus organizaciones y por ello, se propone que las empresas deben implementar políticas relacionadas con la dimensión emocional, informativa e instrumental en sus planes de desarrollo de carrera.

El objetivo del presente artículo esta orientado a establecer un modelo de gestión orientado a fortalecer las empresas del sector agroalimentario venezolano, en la entrega de productos inocuos y de mejor calidad a sus consumidores, obtenidos bajo esquemas de producción eficientes y competitivos. En su construcción se identificaron, desarrollaron y articularon factores incorporados en el modelo, apoyados en el concepto de gestión integral y en las formas de actuación que han conducido a empresas nacionales y extranjeras a posicionarse en el mercado (qué, con qué, cómo, para qué o para quién hacen). La validez de los postulados fue verificada mediante análisis de correlación simple entre indicadores de desempeño empresarial y variables que revelan atención a la calidad, inocuidad, ambiente, seguridad e innovación tecnológica. Los resultados, obtenidos del procesamiento de información procedente de una muestra de 129 industrias del sector, señalan que la articulación de los factores producción segura, valoración del conocimiento e innovación tecnológica, así como políticas y acciones de responsabilidad social al concepto gestión integral, permite generar un modelo de gestión de adopción progresiva, que considerando la realidad del sector, facilita un mejoramiento continuo de su desempeño.

Authors: Lozano Melquicedec , Urbano David
Published: November 2019

En el contexto de la sucesión, el presente estudio de casos examina la pertenencia inicial de los descendientes a las empresas familiares colombianas. Adicionalmente se exponen las principales proposiciones que relacionan, satisfacción y compromiso, con ese primer trabajo a tiempo completo en la empresa familiar. La metodología considera entrevistas en profundidad a descendientes de cuatro casos de empresas familiares, cuya información se somete posteriormente a un análisis cualitativo apoyándose en el concepto de triangulación y la teoría de recursos y capacidades. Los resultados del estudio resaltan la satisfacción y el compromiso como los dos componentes de la pertenencia inicial; igualmente, se determinan los ítems que conforman cada uno de estos componentes, lo que amplía conceptualmente el panorama relacionado con la continuidad de las empresas familiares. Las conclusiones muestran que la propensión a tener más satisfacción y compromiso con el primer cargo está muy relacionada con el tipo de ambiente que perciben los descendientes y con la posibilidad de satisfacer sus motivaciones.

El conocimiento es el activo más importante que posee una organización, en particular para las Autoridades Ambientales, el presente artículo de investigación tiene como objetivo presentar un modelo explicativo del conocimiento organizacional en la Corporación Autónoma Regional del Valle del Cauca - CVC y el diseño de una propuesta para la gestión de conocimiento organizacional, ambos resultantes de la investigación interpretativa basada en el paradigma constructivista utilizados en la metodológica de estudio de caso, en el cual la teoría social no debería basarse únicamente en observaciones empíricas para derivar en leyes generales fundamentales, sino el entender las razones de acción de los actores. Entre los hallazgos más importantes, la investigación revela un cambio institucional, un proceso de transición y de nueva adaptación en respuesta a nuevos objetivos que internamente reflejan el estilo de gobernar y la estructura organizacional y estos a su vez tienen un fuerte impacto en los procesos y en la cultura “cevecina”.

La calidad de servicio hoy en día, debe representar una de las estrategias de toda empresa si pretende mantenerse dentro del mercado con altos niveles competitivos. El objetivo principal de la presente investigación es comparar la calidad del servicio de las farmacias con enfoque tradicional y de autoservicio del municipio Maracaibo. La metodología consiste en la revisión documental, fuentes secundarias y la aplicación de dos instrumentos para medir la variable, las cuales consisten en una lista de verificación a las farmacias con escala dicotómica para identificar sus características y una entrevista estructurada con escala de Likert a los usuarios de las farmacias. Los resultados arrojaron la existencia de una mediana calidad de servicio de las farmacias tradicionales y una alta calidad para las farmacias de autoservicio en el municipio Maracaibo del estado Zulia, por lo que se recomienda a las tradicionales enfocarse en sus puntos débiles para superarlos tomando en cuenta las fortalezas de las farmacias de autoservicio.
