This study area is administratively located in Parit Indah District, Bukit Raya District, Pekanbaru City, Riau Province. Geographically, the research area is located at coordinates 0° 28' 30.92" N 101° 28' 9.45" E N 0° 27' 25.63" - 101° 29' 47.30" E. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of peat soil types on subsidence. The data collection method in this study was carried out using sieve analysis, water content analysis, specific gravity, subsidence analysis, and soil testing in the laboratory. The effect of peat soil on subsidence has a significant effect between the type of peat and subsidence, the higher the maturity level of the peat, the lower the level of subsidence on peat soil. Based on the study's results, the soil consolidation test with a depth of 75cm-3m had a soil settlement value of 0.467. It is recommended to do this to reduce the impact of subsidence in the land area such as the research area so that it does not have too much impact on the construction which is carried out by hardening the location using the vertical wick drain method, as well as for building foundations it can be done using chicken claw foundation.
Obesity as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease: a contemporary view on the problem. Review
Authors: Chernyshov V. A. , Nesen A. A.
Published: October 2023

The review article is devoted to an actual clinical problem of participation of obesity in development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some pathogenic links due to which a negative renal effect of obesity is mediated including in particular, dyslipidemia (DLP), endothelial dysfunction (ED) of renal vessels, activation of renin‑angiotensin‑aldosterone system (RAAS), arterial hypertension (AH), a production of adipose tissue mediators with renal injuring properties such as leptin, tumor necrosis factor‑α, interleukines 1,6,8 are discussed. The data about the main factors of progression of renal damage associated with obesity included insulin resistance (IR), hyperinsulinemia, DLP, systemic and renal hemodynamic disorders caused by activation of RAAS (AH, intraglomerular hypertension) are given. The role of metabolic syndrome and its components in pathogenesis of CKD as well as a role of diabetes mellitus (DM) frequently combined with obesity in development of diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) is generalized. Among adipokines a special attention in the present review is paid for pathogenic role of leptin and adiponektin in obesity with its conditions promoted renal damage. The participation of resistance to leptin in the pathogenesis of CKD through such links as IR, ED, oxidative stress and inflammation is discussed. The role of ED and glomerular hyperfiltration in pathogenesis of microalbuminuria is elucidated. The significance of injury of kidney tubular cell structures so called podocytes in pathogenesis of CKD in obesity is uncovered. The clinical significance of early revealing of renal pathology as well as body weight, glycemia level, arterial blood pressure control and following of healthy mode of life in reduction of risk development of CKD associated with obesity, DM and other metabolic disorders is generalized. It’s emphasized that evaluation of lipid and carbohydrate exchange parameters, serum leptin level, IR indices is considered to be perspective for diagnostics of renal damage in obesity.

Dari relasi menuju partisipasi: Sebuah teologi keterhisaban identitas manusia ke dalam imago Dei pada konteks autisme
Authors: Masnidar Sherly
Published: October 2023

This article, focusing on the theology of belongingness, centers its concern on the discriminatory interpretation of the theology of imago Dei towards individuals living with autism. Superficially, our understanding of the theology of imago Dei (image of God) legitimizes human identity as perfect creations due to their resemblance to God. Therefore, individuals living with autism are often considered outside the realm of imago Dei identity due to their limitations in physical, cognitive, and social functions. This article aims to elucidate the complexity of human identity, emphasizing that humans cannot be comprehended solely based on their physical, cognitive, and social functions. To achieve this goal, through a constructive theological approach, this article presents the participative theology of imago Dei as the fourth model of imago Dei theology, following the functional, substantial, and relational models. Ultimately, this article formulates a participative theology of imago Dei that guides us to comprehend humans' belongingness within the Imago Dei fully. Thus, we understand the essence of humanity as unrestricted by any capability reference, providing an equal space for individuals living with autism. AbstrakArtikel yang berfokus pada teologi keterhisaban (theology of belongingness) ini mendasarkan persoalannya pada pemaknaan teologi imago Dei yang diskriminatif terhadap orang yang hidup dengan autisme. Secara dangkal, teologi imago Dei (gambar Allah) kita pahami guna melegitimasi identitas manusia sebagai ciptaan yang sempurna karena kesegambarannya dengan Allah. Itulah sebabnya, orang yang hidup dengan autisme dianggap tidak termasuk ciptaan yang menggambarkan identitas Imago Dei karena keterbatasan fungsi fisik, kognitif, dan sosialnya. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk memaparkan tentang kompleksitas identitas manusia sehingga manusia tidak dapat dipahami hanya berdasarkan fungsi dan substansi fisik, kognitif, juga sosialnya. Untuk mencapai tujuan itu, melalui pendekatan teologi konstruktif, artikel ini menawarkan teologi imago Dei partisipatif sebagai model keempat teologi imago Dei, setelah model fungsional, substansial, dan relasional. Pada akhirnya, artikel ini menghasilkan teologi imago Dei model partisipatif yang menuntun kita memahami tentang keterhisaban manusia secara penuh ke dalam Sang Imago Dei. Dengan demikian, kita memahami hakikat manusia secara utuh yang tidak terikat pada acuan kemampuan apapun, sehingga ada ruang perimaan yang sama bagi orang yang hidup dengan autisme.
Race at the Top
Authors: Healy Anthony E.
Published: October 2023

Race at the Top addresses topical subjects about parental anxiety, racial discrimination, and migrant assimilation in an upper-middle-class suburb where White and Asian-origin families monopolize a high achieving public high school, Woodcrest. Behind the town’s progressive façade and without overt racialization, White parents mobilize to advantage their children through school policies that curtail the academics stressed by Asian-origin parents. By seeing this clash through the frame of American assimilation theories, this otherwise novel and well-written book does not address it as biopolitical clash of class created by the expansion of the global upper-middle-class, a plausible alternative hypothesis.
HYDROTHERMAL CARBONIZATION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE – AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO TREAT AND MANAGE SEWAGE SLUDGE IN RURAL AREAS OF GERMANY?
Authors: Ender Tommy , Shettigondahalli Ekanthalu Vicky , Nelles Michael
Published: October 2023

As the result of new regulation from the German Sewage Sludge Ordinance (AbfKlärV 2017) and the future obligation to recover phosphorus, thermal treatment (mono-incineration) has become increasingly popular, whereas land-based utilization has decreased. Germany has produced 1.71 million metric tons (DM) of sewage sludge in the year 2021. Sewage sludge contains important nutrients such as phosphorus but also heavy metals and organic pollutants making the direct utilization of sewage sludge in agriculture controversial. Rural areas in particular have benefited from land-based sewage sludge utilization however the future ban on direct land-based utilization is forcing them to find alternative solutions for sewage sludge treatment and management. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) has developed considerably over the last 15 years and offers a viable alternative for the utilization of municipal and industrial organic waste such as sewage sludge. The process takes place in an aqueous environment without the need for pre-drying sewage sludge and thereby facilitating direct processing. HTC is especially suitable in combination with the recovery of nutrients like phosphorus. Technologies to recover this essential resource are important because phosphorus is an element that cannot be substituted and is therefore essential. HTC could make a significant contribution to sewage sludge management in combination with phosphorus recovery. However, the technology has yet to establish itself as a sewage sludge valorization process (2023) and is not yet a recognized state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, the HTC technology could gain greater relevance in the future, especially as an alternative valorization pathway for sewage sludge in rural areas of Germany.
Fast fashion versus circular economy: an exciting match?
Authors: Bartl Andreas , Ipsmiller Wolfgang
Published: October 2023

Fast Fashion is an extremely successful business model that brings apparel and home textiles to the market in ever shorter lead times at ever lower prices. On the one hand, this can be seen as extremely consumer-friendly, as customers can afford top-styled clothing that is always in line with the latest trends, even on a small budget. The opportunity to dress fashionably therefore does not remain a privilege of high earners. On the other hand, the production of fast fashion takes place without compliance with social and environmental standards. It's all about producing as cheaply and quickly as possible. In the EU, the linear economic model is currently being transformed into a circular one. This development does not stop at the textile sector. The textile industry is obliged to bring more durable products onto the market, to comply with social and environmental standards, and to recycle a high proportion of the textiles at the end of their life cycle. In this communication it is shown that fast fashion leads to an uncontrolled growth of textile production and that recycling alone cannot be the solution. The only way is to tackle the problem at its roots and not to regard waste prevention as just an empty phrase. It is obvious that fast fashion and the circular economy are not compatible and that there can only be one winner.
Advances in understanding kinetic mechanisms underlying waste ground tyre rubber pyrolysis
Authors: Mwelwa Maxwell Katambwa , Iwarere Samuel Ayodele , Mkhize Ntandoyenkosi Malusi
Published: October 2023

The depletion of natural resources and the need to reduce solid waste in urban areas have necessitated the incorporation of used materials such as waste ground tyre rubbers (WGTR), into manufacturing processes. As a result, techniques and recycling methods have been established to use tyres as feedstock for marketable products since tyres have a calorific value higher than coal and contain a significant amount of carbon black. Among several techniques, pyrolysis has emerged as the most appealing for treating WGTRs. This technique allows the recovery of valuable products like combustible gases, fuels and chemicals, and activated carbon. Studies have focused on understanding the mechanism underlying the WGTR pyrolysis through the establishment of mathematical models and reaction patterns to valorise WGTRs and efficiently produce marketable chemicals. This paper presents an overview of recent developments in understanding WGTR pyrolysis mechanisms. A general mechanism observed involves a first depolymerisation/condensation of the rubbers, then a degradation of the condensed products, and finally a devolatilisation of additives. Based on the limited information available on the chemicals' formation mechanism, it is assumed that limonene and isoprene are derived from natural rubber (NR), through a series of β-scission and depropagation reactions of polyisoprene and intramolecular cyclisation and scission of monomeric isoprene, respectively, with an equilibrium step of Diels-Alder reaction. The maximum yield of limonene and isoprene have been found to be 51% and 20.5% at temperature around 500°C respectively. The isoprene yield can be increased up to 37.57 % with the use of catalyst such as Calcium Oxide.
Feelings in Words: Emotion Word Use and Cardiovascular Reactivity in Marital Interactions
Authors: Meier Tabea , Stephens Jacquelyn , Haase Claudia M.
Published: October 2023

Putting feelings into words is often thought to be beneficial. Few studies, however, have examined associations between natural emotion word use and cardiovascular reactivity. This laboratory-based study examined emotion word use (i.e., from computerized text analysis) and cardiovascular reactivity (i.e., interbeat interval changes from baseline) across two interaction contexts (i.e., conflict and positive conversations) in 49 mixed-sex married couples (age: M = 43.11, SD = 9.20) from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. We focused on both frequency (i.e., relative proportion of emotion words) and diversity (i.e., relative proportion of unique emotion words) of emotion words. Data were collected between 2015 and 2017 and analyzed treating both partners and conversations as repeated measures, resulting in 196 observations overall (four per dyad). Findings showed that (1) when spouses used more negative emotion words (especially anger), they showed higher cardiovascular reactivity. This finding was robust when controlling for covariates; generalized across gender, interaction contexts, and socioeconomic status. Moreover, (2) when spouses used a more diverse negative emotion vocabulary, they showed higher cardiovascular reactivity, but this was not robust when controlling for negative emotion word frequency. Associations between (3) positive emotion word use and cardiovascular reactivity were not statistically significant. Verbalizing negative emotions thus seems to go along with higher cardiovascular reactivity, at least in the short term. Replication is needed across other relationship types, genders, and sexual orientations. These findings highlight emotion word use as an indicator of cardiovascular reactivity, which has implications for the identification of potential health risks that emerge during marital interactions.
Ingredients for a Good Meme
Authors: Ayele Samrawit Tariku , Cecchetti Luca , Reber Rolf
Published: October 2023

Internet memes are multimodal digital artifacts that pervade social media platforms. Despite their global popularity as powerful communication devices, their significance in the cognitive sciences remains understudied. In this exploratory study, we collected data from N = 1,157 participants to uncover the cognitive and emotional factors influencing the consumption and appreciation of internet memes. Participants rated 300 user-generated memes, providing overall ratings, evaluating nine cognitive features, and reporting intensities of 16 emotional categories. Exploratory factor analysis revealed five latent factors: humor, fluency, disfluency, positive emotions, and negative emotions. In a cross-validated regression model, the five factors accurately predicted overall ratings of new internet memes within about a half-point margin (mean absolute error = 0.54). Humor, amusement, and lack of boredom emerged as robust predictors, while positive emotions like adoration, satisfaction, and compassion also played significant roles. A balance between fluency and disfluency was found to be important for successful internet memes, whereas negative emotions (e.g., anger, disgust, and frustration) significantly decreased overall ratings. This study highlights the potential of internet memes for research in empirical aesthetics, media psychology, and advertising, shedding light on the cognitive and emotional factors underlying meme consumption and appreciation.
Absolved from the Neoliberal Burden of Responsibility: The Effect of Populist Victim Rhetoric on Leader Support
Authors: Neerdaels Jasper , Tröster Christian , Van Quaquebeke Niels , Licata Laurent
Published: October 2023

A common explanation for the success of populists is that they rhetorically shift blame for their followers’ hardships toward ‘elites’, therefore creating a culpable outgroup. However, we argue that there are two confounded effects at play here, shifting blame toward an outgroup and shifting blame away from oneself. Therefore, we theorize that above and beyond elite blame, victimization rhetoric heightens leader support because it specifically relieves followers of the pressure of having to take responsibility for negative life outcomes, especially when they subscribe to neoliberal competition ideology. Supporting our predictions, we show via a survey that victim rhetoric increases leader support while controlling for elite blame, especially among people subscribing to neoliberal competition ideology. In a subsequent experiment, we replicate the findings causally and show that the effect works by reducing perceived personal responsibility for negative life outcomes. Our results indicate that populist rhetoric involves two thus far confounded aspects, shifting blame toward others and shifting blame away from oneself. This can explain some of the conundrums that have plagued the literature, such as why elites also fall for populist rhetoric. We discuss our findings in relation to cultural differences and differences in left- vs. right-wing populism.
Assimilation Disparities in Volunteering among Immigrants
Authors: Jørgensen Anders Bastrup , Qvist Hans-Peter Y.
Published: October 2023

This study examines how much immigrants from different groups assimilate to native-level volunteering in Denmark. We employ multilevel linear probability models, analyzing a dataset that combines repeated cross-sectional survey data with administrative register information. The dataset encompasses 15,771 respondents, of which 1,918 are immigrants from 127 different countries. Unlike recent European comparative research that has suggested that immigrants of all ethnic backgrounds ultimately reach parity with natives in their levels of civic participation in their destination countries, our findings reveal a different scenario in Denmark. Our results suggest that immigrants from Protestant and other Christian countries reach parity with natives in their level of volunteering, while immigrants from other countries do not. We show that socioeconomic disparities across immigrant groups partially account for these variations in volunteering assimilation, but even after accounting for socioeconomic factors and many other covariates, significant differences persist.
Children of Separation: An International Profile
Authors: Zilincikova Zuzana , Skopek Jan , Leopold Thomas
Published: October 2023

This study offers a comprehensive international overview of children from separated families across 13 countries, with an emphasis on the European context. We investigate changes in the number of children experiencing parental separation over birth cohorts (1960–1989) and changes in their social composition using data from Generations and Gender Survey and official statistics. Results on absolute numbers highlight the impact of demographic shifts and complement previous research that focused on the relative risk of experiencing parental separation. We show that declining fertility rates have, in most countries, mitigated the rise in the number of children affected by increasing separation rates. Moreover, a large majority of contemporary children of separation are born to higher-educated mothers, demonstrating that the spread of education across parent cohorts outweighed educational risk gradients in shaping the socio-economic background of children of separation. These findings improve our demographic understanding of children of separation and inform policy targeting family disruption as a social problem and allocating resources to address it.
TAX POLICY AND FEATURES OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN WARTIME CONDITIONS
Authors: Holovai Nadiia
Published: October 2023

The article examines the main problems and determines further ways of adapting the domestic economy to the modern paradigm of socio-economic relations that have developed in the new realities of the martial law. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of tax policy and systematize the methods of its implementation in modern economic conditions.

During the research, it was established that the basis of fiscal policy is the tax policy, which ensures the organization of tax planning, regulation and control at the state level. Tax policy serves as the basis for creating a mechanism for economic growth of the state, growth in the level of its gross domestic product and national income.

The thesis is proved that the priority task of the state in terms of tax policy is the creation of a stable and effective tax system at the national level, which would enable the construction of an effective taxation system, namely a fair approach to taxation of all categories of taxpayers, the formation of a sufficient volume of tax payments to the budgets of all levels, as well as creating the necessary factors for Ukraine's further integration into the world community.

Approaches to determining the essence of tax policy are summarized, its role in state regulation of socio-economic relations is substantiated. It has been established that today the tax policy is fully oriented to the existing market situation and, depending on the situation, determines the relationship between taxpayers and the state.

Based on the conducted research, the following conclusions were drawn: firstly, during the period of full-scale Russian military aggression in Ukraine, the domestic economy managed to adapt to functioning in a new paradigm; secondly, the Government settled the main issues and determined the specifics of income tax, value added tax, excise tax and single tax for business entities during the martial law period. At the same time, taking into account the modern challenges caused by military aggression on the part of Russia, the main strategic task of tax policy in Ukraine today is the accumulation of tax revenues for national security and defense and for the implementation of martial law measures in order to stabilize the economic situation in Ukraine .

Published: October 2023

A company is established with the aim of achieving profits and prosperity for company owners and shareholders in an industry. However, not all standing companies get maximum profits, so this study aims to determine whether the independent variables of financial ratios such as dividend policy, investment decision, leverage, profitability and firm size can affect the dependent variable firm value. This study took samples from companies listed on the IDX engaged in the food and beverage sector in 2017-2021 with the final sample used to conduct the research as many as 62 companies. The method of data analysis in this study uses the panel regression method which is useful for predicting and knowing the value of one variable against other variables. This research reveals that the independent variables dividend policy, investment decision and leverage have no significant effect on firm value, while the independent variables profitability and firm size have a significant but negative relationship to the dependent variable firm value.

Published: October 2023

An increase in the number of vehicles today will result in an increase in fuel oil consumption and emission pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize for fuel oil economy and emission reduction by improving engine performance. Improving engine performance can be done through several factors, including; with compression ratio, volumetric efficiency and fuel quality. The purpose of this study is to prove that with the addition of ozone (O3) the combustion process will be more reactive than oxygen (O2) so that it can produce faster and more complete combustion, This study will convert oxygen (O2) into more reactive ozone (O3) by using a 15 g/h plasma plasma generator ozone installed on an air filter. Engine performance testing includes engine power and torque using a 50L super dyno type dynamometer chassis. The test results showed, with ozone generator engine torque increased from 0 – 0.5 Nm and increased engine power from 0 – 0.4 KW compared to without using an ozone generator. Nevertheless, the use of ozone (O3) at a high equivalent ratio can lead to knocking
Are they really overqualification? Evaluation of perceived overqualification by the employees
Authors: YAŞAR Emre , AYDIN ALAKUŞ Nesrin
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to examine the self-perception of hotel industry employees regarding their overqualification, the factors that contribute to overqualification, and the attitudes and behaviors of managers and colleagues towards overqualified employees. To achieve the research objective, a qualitative research approach was used, involving interviews with personnel to collect data. During the interviews, employees were asked four main questions. Thematic analysis was used to examine the participants' responses to the inquiries. Eight distinct themes were identified based on the examination of responses to the multiple-choice questions. The analysis revealed that a significant portion of employees felt they were overqualified for their roles. The perception of employees as overqualified is primarily influenced by factors such as education, experience, and foreign language proficiency. As per employees, this attribute distinguishes them from their peers. Moreover, a substantial portion of the workforce often perceives individuals to have excessive qualifications, as observed by their supervisors and peers. In conclusion, most participants, except for one, demonstrated a clear preference for overqualification. Employees engage in activities to enhance their qualifications in their pursuit of overqualification. These activities involve enhancing their education, enrolling in vocational training programs, obtaining work-related certifications, attending seminars, and improving their foreign language proficiency. In a broader context, there is a concept of improving employee overqualification by promoting higher education and foreign language proficiency.
Iopromide safety assessment in a radiology department: A seven-year retrospective characterization of adverse events
Authors: Joaquim João , Matos Cristiano , Mateos-Campos Ramona
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Since the mid-20th century, contrast agents have been widely used in radiology due to their ability to provide high-definition radiographic images and greater precision in diagnostic exams. Different types of contrast agents are used in image diagnosis, namely radiological media. Despite being considered safe, there are still uncertainties about their safety profile, interactions, and incidence of adverse drug reactions in real-world settings. OBJECTIVE: To characterise the pattern of adverse events, during 7 years, in a radiology unit. METHODS: We performed a retrospective observational and descriptive study at an Image Center in Portugal between August 2012 and October 2019. A total of 77,449 computed tomography (CT) were registered, and from those 15,640 cases of iopromide were used as a contrast agent. The authors have accessed, under the authorization, the data of adverse events and procedures after the event. RESULTS: Most of the hypersensitivity events were immediate or with a short time of onset, with the majority of cases developing events with skin involvement and mild degree, where the most common events were papules (n = 60), pruritus (n = 42), erythema (n = 27) and urticaria (n = 14). Severe events, including hypersensitivity, were mainly represented by vomiting (n = 11), stridor (n = 8), breathing difficulties (n = 7) and syncope (n = 3). Abdominal-pelvic CT exam presented a higher frequency of adverse events. CONCLUSION: Despite all the current information about iopromide usage, the utilization of this agent is not abstent of risks and its safety profile not fully established. Most frequent symptoms were local, as skin adverse events, including papules, pruritus and erythema. Common medications used to treat or control adverse events were frequently hydrocortisone, clemastine and methylprednisolone.
Planning and organization of decentralized systems water supply in the war time in Ukraine
Authors: Kravchenko Oleksandr , Kuba Tetiana , Potapenko Svitlana , Khoruzhy Victor , Arhatenko Tetiana , Bakunovskyi Oleg
Published: October 2023

Centralized water supply systems have proven to be quite vulnerable during military operations, so it is important to develop a sound concept of decentralized water supply aimed at providing the population with drinking water in the absence of centralized water supply. Decentralized water supply is a system that includes sources of quality water, transport and water distribution systems to consumers.

Groundwater or centralized water supply systems can be used as sources of water supply. Water from natural sources mainly needs purification. Cleaning systems can be stationary, container-type or mobile. Despite a fairly wide range of such systems, not all of them can be effectively applied in real conditions. An analysis of the market of vehicles for water delivery revealed a significant shortage of specialized water-carrying tanker trucks. This situation increases the demand for water delivery systems on non-specialized transport, which actually provides all the advantages of specialized truck tankers with a simultaneous reduction in the cost of transportation through the use of on-board bodies. Water distribution can be carried out both from water trucks and from stationary tanks installed in public or residential buildings.

Operational and efficient organization of decentralized water supply is possible only on the basis of a geospatial plan, which includes the determination of water supply sources, the number and type of water treatment systems, optimal locations of water distribution points, the number of water transport vehicles and water delivery routes.

У даній статті зроблений аналіз масштабів переказів трудових мігрантів з України у глобальному контексті, оцінка їхніх наслідків для економіки та розрахунок параметрів статистичної моделі впливу грошових переказів на ВВП. За обсягом переказів трудових мігрантів у 2021 році Україна вийшла на 11-12 місці у світі, отримавши майже таку суму переказів як В’єтнам. Серед країн-сусідів ЄС Україна за цим показником займає друге місце після Єгипту. Частка переказів від ВВП досягла 9%, а співвідношення переказів до товарного експорту досягло 22,2% та майже зрівнялось з часткою експорту продукції металургійної галузі. Експорт праці набуває все більшого значення, а це посилює залежність від економічної ситуації в інших країнах та підвищує ризики для економіки України. Розраховані величини параметрів статистичної моделі вказують на дуже слабкий позитивний вплив грошових переказів на економічне зростання в Україні.

Ключовим фактором сучасного економічного зростання є інвестиції в людей і в розвиток людського капіталу, про що свідчить досвід багатьох країн. Інвестиції в людський капітал створюють умови для сталого економічного зростання, постійної адаптації соціально-економічної структури до нових сфер науково-технічного прогресу. Крім того, інвестиції в людей формують попит у багатьох суміжних секторах, що спричиняє значний мультиплікаційний ефект. Протягом тривалого часу в Україні також активно розвивалась сфера інвестування в людський капітал. Проте повномасштабне вторгнення російської федерації на деякий час змінило пріоритети спрямування фінансових ресурсів. У статті визначено тенденції останніх років щодо інвестування в людський капітал в Україні та світі. Встановлено сутність категорії людський капітал, визначено його роль у забезпеченні економічного та технологічного зростання. Проілюстровано в якому вигляді можуть здійснюватись інвестиції в людський капітал. Визначено пріоритети компаній при управлінні людським капіталом в перші місяці війни. Проаналізовано досвід інвестування в людський капітал компанії Eldorado.ua та визначено як змінились напрямки фінансування інвестицій у період війни. Визначено роль інвестицій в людський капітал з позиції голови Спільного представницького органу сторони роботодавців на національному рівні. Проаналізовано План відновлення України та місце індексу розвитку людського капіталу в ході його реалізації. Досліджено соціальну відповідальність як один із ключових напрямків інвестування фінансових ресурсів, проаналізовано вплив зовнішніх та внутрішніх факторів на її структуру. Визначено роль соціальних інвестицій при виборі місця роботи кваліфікованим працівником в умовах дефіциту на ринку трудових ресурсів. Підкреслено активізацію роботи щодо розробки державних програм сприяння розвитку професійної практико-орієнтованої освіти.
Correspondence analysis for detecting risk factors for criminal recidivism
Authors: Kovalchuk Olha
Published: October 2023

Correspondence analysis was used in the work to identify associations between criminal recidivism and the following elements of criminal histories of criminals: sex, age at the time of the first conviction to the actual degree of punishment, age at the time of the first conviction to the suspended or actual sentence, educational level, type of employment at the time of conviction, availability of early releases, availability of suspended sentences, availability of motivation for the release. The conducted empirical analysis made it possible to draw conclusions about the existence of a direct relationship between the risk of criminal recidivism with the age at the time of the first conviction to the suspended and/or actual sentence, the level of education obtained, the type of employment, the presence of early releases, previous conditional convictions and the lack of correlation between the fact of committing repeated criminal offenses and the gender and motivation of the convicts for release.

Environmental allergen reduction in asthma management: an overview
Authors: Pham Duy Le , Le Kieu-Minh , Truong Diem D. K. , Le Huyen T. T. , Trinh Tu H. K.
Published: October 2023

Asthma is a prevalent non-communicable disease that affects both children and adults. Many patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma could not achieve total control despite using anti-asthmatic drugs. There is increasing evidence that allergy to environmental allergens, including both indoor and outdoor allergens, is associated with asthma symptoms and severe asthma. Frequently reported sensitized allergens were dust mites, cockroaches, grass pollens, molds, pets, and rodents in allergic asthma patients, although the patterns of widespread allergens differed from each country. Allergen avoidance is the cornerstone of asthma management, especially in sensitized subjects. This review summarizes environmental allergen avoidance and clarifies their effects on asthma control. Despite contrasting results about the impact of allergen exposure reduction on asthma control, several studies supported the beneficial effects of reducing asthma-related symptoms or risk of exacerbations as a nondrug therapy. Identifying environmental allergens is helpful for asthma patients, and further studies on clinically effective avoidance methods are required.
