El impacto de la precariedad laboral sobre los síntomas depresivos de los padres
Authors: Gumà Lao Jordi , Baranowska-Rataj Anna
Published: January 2025

Los efectos negativos del desempleo pueden transcender a la persona que lo experimenta. En este número de Perspectives Demogràfiques examinamos la relación entre el desempleo de los hijos adultos y la salud mental de sus padres. Los resultados confirman que los padres con algún hijo desempleado presentan un mayor promedio de síntomas de depresión que sus homólogos con todos sus hijos empleados. La magnitud del efecto es diferente entre países, siendo aquellos con un estado del bienestar menos protector y centrado en la familia (sur y este de Europa) los que muestran peores valores. En el caso de España, el impacto es similar para madres y padres, aunque este aumento adicional resulta dramático para ellas al implicar que superen el valor a partir de la cual se produce la manifestación clínica de la depresión. El impacto del desempleo de los hijos es nulo entre los progenitores con mayor nivel educativo. En su conjunto, los resultados invitan a considerar una aproximación multigeneracional en el estudio de la salud mental de la población mayor.

Development of children's environmental culture is of great importance
in the educational process. In this regard, many regulations, including documents from
the Ministry of Education, contain requirements for the formation and development
of environmental competencies in the population. In many ways, the emphasis is on
school education, since it is the younger generation that can be directed in the "necessary
direction". In this case, we are talking about the formation of a responsible citizen who
has awareness, including of the environment.
This article provides an overview of the means of forming environmental competencies
in children undergoing long-term treatment. In their description, we focused on the
features of the educational environment of hospital schools, as well as on didactic

Ultrasonic technique whitch has recently been increasingly used in testing materials and welded joints in Europe and worldwide - is FMC/TFM, better known as the total focusing technique. The reason for this is the precision of reflector detection and the improved display of these reflectors on the device screen. In this way, the inspector is provided with a more comfortable assessment of the tested component, and the client of the test is provided with a very detailed and flawless report, thus providing an adequate response to increasingly complex quality requirements and the accelerated progress of the industry. In our country and surroundings, there are almost no recorded examples of practical application of this technique. And if there are any, they are limited to flash presentations and advertisement of overseas companies that operate in our area, mostly while the works on the construction of certain gas and oil pipelines are ongoing. The EN ISO 17640 standard states significant limitations in the application of the ultrasonic method for testing welded joints without full penetration. This paper presents experiences from practice in the application of the total focusing technique in the inspection of welded joints made of aluminum alloys 6005A-T6 and 5083 H111 in the characteristic structural solution of joints without full penetration, without violating the physical principles on which the UT method is based.

This study examined the microstructure of the main steam pipes in thermal power plant using the method of metallographic replicas. The aim of the research was to analyze and assess the condition of the pipes after 200 000 hours of operation, as well as to evaluate their remaining service life and endurance under long-term loads according to the VGB-S 517 standard. This standard establishes rigorous guidelines for inspecting and assessing the microstructural composition and damage due to creep in creep-resistant steel for high-pressure piping, boiler components, welded joints, considering the parameters such as material, wall thickness and construction. In addition to microstructure analysis, particular emphasis was placed on studying the time-dependent strength of the steam pipes, especially in the context of creep. Creep or deformation under constant load over time at high temperatures is a key factor influencing the long-term performance of the pipes.
The results of the conducted research will provide a broader understanding of the condition of
the steam pipes after 200 000 hours of operation, identify potential defects or weaknesses in the
material and enable timely implementation of appropriate maintenance or replacement measures, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and failures.

Authors:   EPS AD Ogranak TENT, Pejkić Saša
Published: January 2025

Practically, it turned out that we have a small number of trained young welders with above-average qualities in their work. For this reason, there is a need to enrich the learning process with an expanded approach to acquiring knowledge in the field of practical welding, a step-by-step method, moving from a lower to a higher level, to the level of a fully trained professional, prepared to work in a very wide range of welding. Expanding knowledge and education in the field of welding should be a continuous process that takes place during the education and training of welders and later during the execution of works, until the acquisition of the necessary skills and appropriate techniques for making high-quality welded joints.

Published: January 2025

This research discusses the regulation of Islamic finance in Indonesia, focusing on the role of the National Shariah Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN MUI) in the context of evolving legal policies. The main objective of this research is to analyze the government's legal policy towards the DSN MUI and its impact on Islamic finance in Indonesia, as well as to provide recommendations for regulatory improvements. This research uses a qualitative approach with in-depth analysis of relevant laws and regulations, interviews with stakeholders, and review of relevant literature. The findings show that the existing regulations still face challenges in terms of legal certainty and institutional governance. The establishment of OJK Regulation No. 2 Year 2024 provides new certainty for the relationship between DSN MUI and Sharia Supervisory Board, although the position of DSN MUI is still not entirely clear. This study concludes that a change in the government's legal policy direction is needed to strengthen the position of DSN MUI and improve its integration with Islamic financial institutions in order to support the sustainable development of the Islamic economy in Indonesia.

Addressing ‘Loss and Damage’ For Climate Justice in The Global South: An Analysis
Authors: Jahan Noor Israth
Published: January 2025

Determining climate related loss and damage and identifying historical responsibility for it is a highly debated topic in the climate change discourse. There are various critical aspects to this issue - agreeing on the contours and criteria of what ‘loss and damage’ is, acceptance of historical responsibility by big emitters, fixing compensation for the loss and damage, and the encompassing concern of equity and justice. A proper resolution of the issue must also account for the justice concerns of developing and small island states who, though having contributed the least in creating the climate change problem, are the most affected victims of loss and damage due to their geographical location, climatic conditions and limited adaptive capacities. Since the beginning of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations, developed and developing countries have struggled to frame the concept of loss and damage, and the issue remains. This article explores how developed countries have succeeded in containing progression of the concept of loss and damage and avoiding ‘historical responsibility’ for it. The launch of the Loss and Damage Fund in UNFCCC Conference of Parties 28 is no doubt a milestone for developing countries, but its constitution as a voluntary fund without compulsory contribution from the well-known and highest emitters creates skepticism as to whether it will bring any justice for the Global South. By employing an analytical method and examining both primary and secondary sources, this article concludes that the current framing of the loss and damage issue is unlikely to usher in climate justice for the Global South because it does not associate climate related loss and damage with historical responsibility of the carbon polluters – without their association, a liability framework will not take off.
Questioning the ‘Safe Deposit Locker Services’ of Class-A Banks Vis-à-vis the International Jurisprudence on Contracts and Consumerism
Authors: Koirala Sankalpa
Published: January 2025

The service of safe deposit lockers, as provided by the Banks, are sought for the purpose of safekeeping of the articles deposited. Such service creates a risk on the part of the Banks regarding any loss or damage of the articles stored. Therefore, for the purpose of risk aversion, the Banks themselves classify the nature of the Locker Service Agreements (LSAs) and include clauses therein which limit the Bank's liabilities in violation of the jurisprudence on law of contract and consumerism. The article therefore analyses the contractual relationship arising from the LSAs and the usage of the clauses therein by taking into account consumer welfare. For the ease of understanding, the article, based on the Bank's own classification, classifies the LSAs drafted by all twenty Nepalese Class-A Banks into four types: (a) contract of lease; (b) contract of license; (c) LSAs that do not expressly classify themselves; and (d) contract of bailment. The article deals with the concept of lease, license, and bailment, and determines the valid nature of the LSAs. The article also criticizes the loopholes and contradictory clauses used by the Banks in their LSAs. Taking into account the burden of proof on the customer-plaintiff, during an event of loss or damage to the deposited article, the article also suggests important changes with regards to the practice surrounding locker services. The article makes large reference to the jurisprudence developed in India, the U.K., and the U.S.A.

This study aims to analyze the effect of servant leadership and professional competence on lecturer performance in private universities in Central Kalimantan. The data analysis technique in this study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The findings showed that lecturer performance in private universities in Central Kalimantan is determined by three main aspects, namely education and teaching, research, and community service, with education and teaching as the dominant indicator. Organizational commitment is more influenced by affective commitment, followed by normative and continuance. Servant leadership does not directly influence lecturer performance, as lecturers focus more on teaching and research. In contrast, professional competence directly affects lecturer performance, especially through developing knowledge, professional skills, and initiatives that improve communication and learning methods.

Published: January 2025

Este estudo busca compreender a jornada de decisão de compra de consumidores da comunidade LGBTQIAPN+ em relação a marcas de vestuário, fazendo um comparativo com o Ciclo de Lealdade proposto por Edelman (2010). A pesquisa foi qualitativa e exploratória, com a coleta de dados realizada por meio de dezessete entrevistas com pessoas da referida comunidade, utilizando um roteiro semiestruturado como instrumento. Os dados indicam que os consumidores LGBTQIAPN+ seguem o Ciclo de Lealdade de maneira bastante similar ao modelo de Edelman. No entanto, o boicote, um comportamento comum entre esses consumidores, não é previsto no modelo original. Os resultados mostram que preço, qualidade e conforto são fatores importantes na escolha de itens de vestuário, eque questões sociais e políticas podem motivar o boicote a determinadas marcas. Este estudo contribui para fortalecer e ampliar os estudos sobre a comunidade LGBTQIAPN+.

Traversing her own personal journey from her adverse childhood experiences in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain, to being the first black Head of Department at Rhodes University in 120 years, Jacobs illuminates the interconnectedness of personal, professional and public roles, advocating for a shift from careerism to a movement grounded in shared values and principles.

At the same time, the book makes a brave and erudite scholarly contribution to the field of psychology. Its method is unconventional but carefully considered. Those who have provided comments on the manuscript unanimously concur – this book is essential reading for students and academics, families and patriarchs in equal measure.

The transformation imperative within psychology demands a stance of activism, if not revolution, against systems of oppression. This stance urges readers to view this book not only as an academic exercise but as a profound transformative exploration of “giving psychology away”; emphasising the idea of making psychological knowledge and expertise more accessible to the general public and sharing the benefits of psychological science with society to improve people’s lives.

Diabetes Mellitus type 1 is an autoimmune disease, where the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin are destroyed, making it necessary for the patient to receive insulin externally. Additionally, you should lead a healthy lifestyle: balanced diet, exercise and adequate hydration, to keep your glucose levels within the range recommended by your doctor. Currently, there have been many technological advances for the monitoring and control of Type 1 Diabetes that allow greater accuracy and less hypoglycemia. Here we present a website and a mobile application that allow you to record the number of carbohydrates in food, pre-prandial and post-prandial glucose, insulin applied, mood, menstrual period, hydration, exercise performed, among others, and generate reports, graphs and alerts to establish patterns that prevent hypoglycemia and keep the patient in range for a longer time.

In its development, international relations between states and international organizations can no longer be regulated based on international customs in line with the increasing complexity of problems faced by states and international law subjects. All activities in relations between nations and between countries are essentially diplomatic relations, which in essence are efforts to maintain relations between countries. The principle of immunity is a basic principle in international law which emphasizes that a sovereign state cannot prosecute the behavior of a foreign state.

Guided by the cultural ecology theory, this study focuses on the innovative application of Guangfu culture in tea beverage packaging design, aiming to systematically analyze the integration strategy and foundation mode of its integration with tea beverage packaging design, so as to enhance the connotation value of the brand. By breaking down Guangfu culture into spiritual, material and behavioral levels, this study explores the evolution law and trend of each element in the cultural ecosystem, and then proposes specific strategies applicable to tea packaging design. Taking Wuzhou in Guangxi as a case study, this paper verifies the practical value of the method, accurately shows the expression of Guangfu cultural genes in tea drink packaging, and expands the theoretical and practical paths of Guangfu culture tea drink packaging design.

Co-infection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are very prevalent and the primary cause for morbidity and mortality among patients with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The aim of the study was to assess the effect of HBV and HCV on CD4+ count and two liver enzymes; Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alanine transaminase (ALT), among HIV-infected patients. The study was a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted at the anti-retroviral therapy (ART) clinics in Orlu, Imo State, Nigeria. Whole blood samples were collected from 720 patients and serologically analyzed for HBsAg and Anti-HCV using test strips. The samples were also analyzed for the CD4+ count using Cyflow conting system, and two liver enzymes (AST and ALT) using an auto-chemistry analyzer (Cobas C111). Data were entered and analyzed by SPSS version 29 and p-value less than 0.05 was taken as significant. Of the 720 patients, 514 (71.4%) were females and 206 (28.6%) were males. The overall prevalence of HIV/HBV, HIV/HCV, HIV/HBV/HCV, and HIV alone were 332 (46.1%), 82 (11.4%), 105 (14.6%), and 201 (27.9%), respectively. Generally, HIV patients co-infected with HBV and/or HCV had lower mean CD4+ count, AST, and ALT compared to those with HIV alone, but only that of those co-infected with both HBV and HCV were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The HIV/HBV/HCV patients have CD4+ count, AST, and ALT of 76.25 cell/µL, 13.47 IU/L, and 12.20 IU/L, respectively compared to 506.60 cell/ µL, 199.81 IU/L, and 65.85 IU/L observed among those having only HIV, respectively. In a unisex comparison, the male patients with HIV/HBV had significantly lower AST and ALT than male patients with HIV only (p < 0.05). But, male and female patients with HIV/HBV/HCV had significantly lower AST and ALT compared to the males and females with HIV only (p < 0.05), respectively. Across gender, only HIV/HBV/HCV patients had significantly lower CD4+ and AST in males compared to females (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation of CD4, AST and ALT with age in all the groups (p > 0.05). In conclusion, HBV and HCV co-infected HIV patients are more likely to have a lower CD4+ counts, liver enzyme levels (AST and ALT) than mono-infected HIV patients, highlighting the detrimental impact of these coinfections on immune functions as well as the crucial role of hormonal factors and health-seeking behaviors on the clinical outcomes of liver enzymes among the co-infected patients.
