Authors: Sohail Abdus Subhan , K. Pushpalatha , S. Uday Kumar , Kumar Kushal
Published: July 2023

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common problem in pediatric age group and is a significant risk factor for long term sequelae. The clinical signs and symptoms of UTI are nonspecific in the first 5 years of age.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted after obtaining institutional ethical clearance and informed consent from the parents, on 350 children aged 1 to 5 years admitted in with acute febrile illness.
Results: Out of 350 children with acute febrile illness 23 had culture proved UTI. The frequency of occurrence of UTI was 6.5%. Majority 8 (34.7%) of children with UTI were between 1-2 yrs. There was female preponderance with male: female ratio of 1:2.3. Twelve children with UTI belonged to lower socioeconomic status. Fourteen (60.87%) had nonspecific symptoms. Seventeen (73.9%) children had a provisional diagnosis other than UTI. pyuria >10 WBC/HPF had higher specificity (98.5%) and positive predictive value (72.2%) than >5WBC/HPF. Combined bacteruria and pyuria had specificity of 98.8 %. The most common organism isolated from children with UTI was E. coli, most of the organisms (73.9%) were sensitive to ceftriaxone. Abnormal ultrasonographic features was found in 17.4 % of children with UTI.
Conclusions: As the febrile children with UTI usually present with nonspecific signs and symptoms, urine culture should be considered as a part of diagnostic evaluation. Urine culture is the gold standard for diagnosis of UTI. However combined bacteruria and pyuria had specificity of 98.8% and can be used to start empirical antibiotic therapy awaiting culture reports.

Background: The study was aimed at observing the impact of FESS on otologic symptoms associated with Chronic rhinosinusitis. Otitis media and other otologic symptoms develop frequently during the evolution of CRS. The evolution of middle ear disease in the setting of chronic rhino-snusitis possibly reflects the role of a dynamic conduit, eustachian tube, normal functioning of which, is crucial to keep the middle ear functions within physiologic limits.
Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Jhalawar Medical College and SRG hospital, Jhalawar (Rajasthan) between August 2021 and November 2022. 53 patients of CRS with associated otologic symptoms were included in the study. Patients were subjected to functional endoscopic sinus surgery and septoplasty where relevant.
Results: The majority of the study patients presented with ear discharge (72%), earache (41%) and ear fullness (41%). The most common sinusitis related symptoms were Nasal blockage (77%), frontal headache (53%) and nasal discharge (49%) with relatively lower proportion of post nasal drip (23%), facial pain (21%) and halitosis (15%). All participants were subjected to FESS which was combined with septoplasty and sub-mucous diathermy of the inferior turbinate where it was relevant. Patients were followed at 1st, 3rd and 6th week post-operatively.
Conclusions: Majority of the patients (89%) shown a statistically significant subjective improvement in the otologic symptoms following the initial optimum medical therapy for the CRS. Endoscopic sinus surgery was found to improve symptoms on a statistically significant scale.

Las instituciones sí importan: el presidencialismo parlamentarizado del Perú y la amenaza a la democracia en el período 2016-2021
Authors: García Marín Ignacio
Published: July 2023

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo examinar el convulso período 2016-2021 en el Perú, caracterizado por un fuerte choque entre el poder ejecutivo y el legislativo y que derivó en una elevada inestabilidad institucional. Metodológicamente, se combina el análisis de indicadores habituales de la actividad legislativa y ejecutiva, así como del sistema de partidos, con el estudio normativo del sistema presidencial peruano, distinguido por una evidente parlamentarización a raíz del diseño constitucional. Por ello, se analiza el impacto de esta combinación, en especial en estos dos poderes, en cuanto a gobernabilidad y cooperación. Véase la salida anticipada de dos presidentes de la república y otros tres que ocuparon brevemente la jefatura del Estado, así como el cierre temporal del Congreso y un verdadero cuestionamiento de la continuidad democrática. Finalmente, se discute la actualidad y encaje de la literatura existente en torno a los riesgos del presidencialismo en contextos de gobierno dividido y de hostilidad entre instituciones. Como resultado inesperado, se anticipa la incapacidad de los principales actores para imponerse por su propia debilidad partidaria, acrecentada por el diseño parlamentarizador de la variante peruana.
Joseph de Maistre, ¿conservador o reaccionario? Una reevaluación conceptual de su pensamiento político
Authors: Castro Fabricio
Published: July 2023

El presente artículo discute sobre la inclusión del contrarrevolucionario Joseph de Maistre en la problemática categoría de reaccionario político, pero sostiene que se trata de un conservador. Para llevar a cabo este objetivo, se hace un análisis de tipo teórico de acuerdo con las exigencias de la hermenéutica textual y considerando los aportes de la historia de las ideas y de la historia conceptual. Con esto en mente, en la primera parte de este trabajo se detectan los problemas del uso del concepto de reacción para la teoría política y se demuestra su injustificada aplicación al pensamiento de De Maistre. En la segunda parte, se despliega el concepto de conservadurismo sustantivo para definir la corriente conservadora con vistas a, en la tercera parte, reconsiderar su obra a partir del marco conceptual presentado. Se concluye la conveniencia heurística de la categoría propuesta para la comprensión del autor saboyano.
Los derechos humanos y la crisis de la democracia: totalitarismo, populismo, relaciones de poder y participación política
Authors: Fontes Paulo
Published: July 2023

El objetivo central de este estudio es abordar los principales retos en materia de derechos humanos directamente relacionados con las debilidades de las democracias contemporáneas en el plano de la participación política, frente a la amenaza del totalitarismo y el populismo. A través de una metodología cualitativa de análisis hermenéutico, retomamos el pensamiento de Hannah Arendt sobre la centralidad y la fragilidad de la política en su estudio del totalitarismo, con la aportación de Rainer Forst, capaz de desvelar las relaciones de poder imperantes, y de entender hasta qué punto podemos identificar formas legítimas de ejercer el poder. El verdadero valor de la política será el ejercicio de la libertad, la participación y la auténtica interacción con otros seres humanos, lo que depende no sólo del grado de inclusión social de cada persona en la sociedad, amenazada por la creciente fragilidad y las escaladas populistas de la derecha, sino también de los rasgos de personalidad y las capacidades de resiliencia correlacionadas con los diferentes grados de emancipación experimentados en cada fase de la vida. El camino propuesto explora el papel de la teoría del reconocimiento en la formación de los sujetos y, a nivel macro, esboza una teoría de la justicia transnacional, basada en el derecho a la justificación, que pretende crear estructuras de participación y legitimación que puedan asumir y realizar las tareas de apertura y crítica, culminando en la justificación y adopción de normas transnacionales e internacionales vinculantes.
Functionality of Law as a Criterion of its Validity
Authors:   Head of the Department of Theory of State and Law of the Kikot Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, LL.D., Professor, Klimenko Alexey I.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of the operation of law, expressed in its functions as a criterion of its validity. Based on materialistic dialectics, the thesis is substantiated that law is perceived as such only in the context of the social environment in the corresponding dynamics of relations in the context of its functional characteristics. Based on the distinction between legal reality and legal reality, the question is raised about the nature and forms of the relationship between these categories and about the relationship between the categories «real law» and «valid law». The work uses dialectical-materialistic, systemic and logical methods, as well as a socioaxiological approach to understanding law. It is concluded that the socio-axiological approach to law makes it possible to understand and recognize the real law at its value level. At the same time, the most important criterion for the validity of law, which allows you to check its actual quality, is its effectiveness — its functionality. And here the functionality of law determines its value, and the relevance of law as a system of conventional values to the balance of class interests in society is an indicator of the ideal state of its reality.

In the article, based on the analysis of literature and legislation on the role of law in countering the social negative consequences of the sanctions policy against the Russian Federation, several judgments are made: the status of any state presupposes the existence of sovereignty; in ensuring the sovereignty of any state, the exclusive role belongs to law as a regulator of public relations; sanctions policy, as a kind of policy, is also carried out through a system of regulatory legal acts and thereby when using law as a regulator of public relations; the Russian Federation, as a subject of international law, has the right and is obliged to use the right as a means of countering the negative consequences of sanctions policy on the part of other developed states.

Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law of the National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, PhD (Law), Associate Professor, Kuptsova Olga B.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of one of the significant areas of scientific and scientificpractical analysis. Currently, there is a tendency to improve the technical and legal foundations of the development of modern law, which predetermine the increase in the efficiency of its functioning. The most important of them should include: the choice of the optimal form of consolidation of normative legal institutions; the consistency of legislative definitions and other types of legal definitions; the ordering and systematic use of doctrinal means of legal technology plays an essential role; the reorientation of the right to regulate actively developing social relations presupposes the emergence and development of complexes of a supranormative systemic nature, which are based on a different structuring of normative legal content.
On Efficiency of the Punitive Function of Law
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure of the Vitebsk State University Named after P.M. Masherov, PhD (History), Statsenko Vladimir G.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the features of the implementation of the punitive function of law in modern conditions. The analysis of the development of domestic criminal legislation and law enforcement practice indicates that this development is based on the criminalization of all new forms of socially dangerous behavior and the tightening of legal regulation. The direction of criminal policy, its compliance with the objective interests of the development of society and ensuring the security of the individual, are largely determined by the nature of political power and the type of political regime. The punitive function of law, implemented primarily through criminal repression, must be accompanied by measures aimed at resolving contradictions that give rise to social conflicts.
Criticism of Dehumanization of Law in the Modern State and Legal Thought

Published: July 2023

Most researchers associate modern trends in the development of law with digitalization, which gradually ‘squeezes out’ a person from various decision-making systems. This process arose at the beginning of modernity and is associated with materialism and rationalism, natural scientific progressivism and mechanism in the understanding of law.

Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Law Faculty of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Zobnin Vasily S.
Published: July 2023

The paper’s purpose is to determinate the legal nature of the Union State of Russia and Belarus (hereafter — the Union State). Under foreign pressure the form of the integration of Russia and Belarus is a highly relevant topic for research. At the present time the unified position on this issue is not developed in scientific literature: there are opposite views recognizing the existence of confederal or federal attributes in the Union State. The author analyses the texts of the Treaty on the Creation of the Union State and compares its provisions to previously existing model of confederacies: United States of America (until 1788), the German Confederation, the Union of Utrecht, the Swiss Confederacy. As a result of the research the conclusion was made that in existing legal reality the Union State has all essential attributes of confederacy.

Authors: Chibalashvili Asmati , Savchuk Igor , Olianina Svitlana , Shalinskyi Ihor , Korenyuk Yuriy
Published: July 2023

The research examines the phenomenon of creative programming as an example of the interaction between art and technology. The historical prerequisites for its emergence and various tools for its implementation are analysed. Systematization and analysis of existing platforms and computer languages for creative programming made it possible to classify them chronologically, according to principles of work, and technical characteristics. The main ways of using creative programming in different periods were explored in analysing contemporary art projects that used creative programming. Thus, The Algobabez duo used real-time programming with SuperCollider software at their performances. The capabilities of MAX/MSP made it possible to implement the performer-computer interaction in Inter-sax-tive by composer Nicolas Scherzinger. In the interactive project Messa di Voce, the sound is transformed with the help of the Openframeworks software into graphics, which affects the performers. In other cases, the software was written specifically for an art project. In the Abraham project, artist and programmer Gene Kogan tries to create an autonomous artificial artist who has his own will and can create authentic visual images. As part of the multidisciplinary interactive project "Hakanaï", we can see how code written specifically for the project, allows performer to interact with a visual projection (mapping) that, in turn, interacts with the performer’s moves. We prove that creative programming has become a promising, independent tool of creativity within modern interdisciplinary artistic practices, borders of which continue to expand thanks to the open code approach and the involvement of a community of like-minded people.

Published: July 2023

The article shows the peculiarities of personal deprivation as a neuropsychological factor of emigration in the context of frustration. Persons participating in emigration focus on their future life, mainly on economic and social life. Individual thoughts about one's future life, a warning about the unknown, means about one's future work, well-being, etc. Such a volume of actions causes disappointment, as well as a neuropsychological impulse of anxiety for the future life of a person. The study is aimed at determining the impact of migration intentions on the psychological state of the individual, in particular, the determination of frustration and neuropsychological factors.
The learning principle is that frustration is a neuropsychological marker of individuals facing new challenges, especially during migration. Researched military tests are studied in a study of economic commitment as a factor in the frustration of individuals who plan to migrate.
The research course uses the method of abstraction, the descriptive-research method, the method of analysis and synthesis. The method of generalization and systematization was used to determine the research results. The results of the work are the basis for the formation of the structure that the factor of economic destruction in this case is personal frustration and not all aspects of the issue needing further research are exhausted.

Published: July 2023

El uso de distintos materiales para la retención de diferentes tipos de moléculas es ampliamente conocido. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, ha surgido la necesidad de usar materiales de origen natural dadas sus características intrínsecas como ser renovables, económicas y amigables con el medio ambiente. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo disminuir el contenido de compuestos fenólicos en aguas residuales del beneficio del café. Para esto, se determinó el porcentaje de retención de dichos compuestos en Luffa cylindrica (estropajo) como material adsorbente. Se evaluó la influencia del pH, tamaño de partícula y tiempo de contacto bajo diseño experimental 23. Se logró un porcentaje de retención de fenoles totales de 97,8% a pH 7,0, tamaño de partícula 850 μm y 2 h de exposición. El comportamiento cinético obtenido corresponde a un modelo de pseudo segundo orden y la adsorción de compuestos fenólicos totales por L. cylindrica está representado por la isoterma de Freundlich. Adicionalmente, se logró disminuir el valor de otros índices de contaminación como DQO y turbidez, por tanto, el tratamiento con L. cylindrica se constituye en una valiosa alternativa para el tratamiento de aguas provenientes del beneficio del café.

The relevance. In recent decades, individual studies in the Republic of Kazakhstan have been aimed at expanding the potential of using rocks of large and industrial exploitation of silicite deposits for revising their physicochemical, mineralogical parameters, and assessing the prospects for expanding their use in new industries and technologies in the construction and technical industries, materials science based on deep chemical processing of mineral raw materials. The article presents new data on the chemical-mineralogical and structural parameters of diatomites from the Utesai deposit and opoka from the Taskala deposit of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main aim: comprehensive analysis of the chemical-mineral composition and structural and textural features of rocks from two largest deposits of silicon raw materials in the Western part of Kazakhstan – the Utesai diatomite deposit and the Taskala opoka deposit. Objects: diatomites of the Utesai deposit and opoka of the Taskala deposits in the western part of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Methods: field research, lithological and petrographic analysis of thin sections, X-ray diffraction analysis, differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis. Results. The studied diatomites and opoka are characterized by a high degree of homogeneity; they are represented by typical phases for silicic rocks of the region – opal-CT, clay minerals with an admixture of quartz and feldspars. From the mineralogical point of view, the most obvious difference between the studied diatomites and the Trans-Urals is the significant content of kaolinite – over 10 %, while in the diatomites of the Trans-Urals, the main clay component is smectite and mixed-layer illite-smectite formations. The rocks under consideration are clayey diatomites and clayey flasks, the total content of basic oxides allows us to characterize raw materials as medium quality, most suitable for the production of foam glass materials, and, in particular, glass fiber, in the production of which alumina is an important functional component. At the same time, the significant content of clay and other impurities does not allow us to recommend such raw materials for the production of filter and sorbing materials.

Geo Аssets Engineering, 2023, vol. 334, no. 7, рр. 102-110. In Rus.
The relevance. Mechanical earth modeling is widely used in various fields of science and technology. In the oil and gas industry, one-dimensional mechanical earth models are used to analyze wellbore stability, to design hydraulic fracturing, to assess the probability of sand production with oil and gas flow, and as input data for three-dimensional mechanical earth models. One-dimensional mechanical earth models are very demanding on the volume and quality of the initial data, for example, when calibrating the model to define the uniaxial compression strength and horizontal stresses, borehole imager data are required, which are usually not recorded in all wells and in whole interval. At the same time, almost every well has caliper data. Therefore, solving the problem of calibration of a one-dimensional mechanical earth model using more accessible caliper data is an urgent problem, the solution of which will allow building calibrated geomechanical models for a larger number of wells. The main aim: to develop an approach for calibration of one-dimensional mechanical earth models based on well caliper data. Methods: geometric approximation, analysis of laboratory studies, as well as analytical methods for calculating the stress-strain state near the well wall. Results. The paper introduces the equations and the algorithm to define the stresses and uniaxial compression strength of rocks using geometric approximation of borehole breakouts according to caliper data in wells.
Forage Production in India: Bottlenecks and Opportunities by Opening up New Way with an Increase in Fodder Oats Demand: A Review
Authors: Hilli Harshavardan J. , Kapoor Rahul , . Amandeep
Published: July 2023

In India, mixed farming and cattle raising is an essential elements of rural life and these practices are connected with the social structure in cultural, religious and economic ways. India’s production of fodder is very unevenly distributed and how this resource is used depends on the breed of cattle raised, the climate, the socioeconomic context and the crop-growing patterns. Fodder from cultivated regions is regularly fed to cattle and buffalo, with some harvested grasses and top feeds added as supplements. On the other hand within the land area of just 2.3 per cent, India is home to 16.8 per cent of the world’s population and nearly 20 per cent of the world’s cattle. India homes cattle (16%), buffalo (55%), goats (20%) and sheep (5%) of worlds total livestock population respectively. This fact makes it more cumbersome to meet the forage demand by livestock, thus shift in paradigm and opportunity in near future is about to hike for fodder crops with their potentiality in production per unit area. The present Indian scenario of fodder crops in comparison with the livestock population is being described in this article along with the net deficit and surplus availability of green and dry fodder. Further, this review also includes the opening of a new way for oats to contribute to fodder production. The challenges facing India for fodder production and its near opportunity to open up and evolve with various methodologies to tackle the present fodder demand by enhancing the production is described in detail in an article.

The retainment of South African indigenous languages: a systemic literature review
Authors: Diko Mlamli
Published: July 2023

Intricacies concerning indigenous languages in the South African milieu demonstrate intransigence that necessitates a scholarly contestation. This is in addition to the parades that have been made by the post-colonial government and language experts to ennoble the stature of these indigenous languages. With that context, this article underscores the historical component of indigenous languages and retainment strides - including challenges – that have been underlined in respect of South African indigenous language matters. The objective, among others, is to underscore those challenges concerning indigenous African languages, and in particular, South African indigenous languages exhibit tenacity. To ratify the claims of the article, a systemic literature review is appreciated as a fragmentary qualitative research methodology while conceptualization of language matters in South Africa couches the theoretical underpinnings. The principal discussion is that challenges that prevail within the phenomenon of language in the South African context must be acknowledged in a bid to solicit reasonable solutions to the problematized phenomenon. For future scholarly implications, it is debated that indigenous language matters must be contested.

Published: July 2023

This paper aims to examine the effect of selected factors that link to completion of NSSF construction projects and how they are influenced by the various critical factors. The main objective was to establish the critical success factors and their effects on performance of construction projects. Four theories namely Game theory, Principal-Agent theory, Construction Management, and Soft Value Management (SVM) theory served as the foundation for this research.  Descriptive research design was employed for data collection, analysis, presentation and interpretation.The target population was 512 stakeholders from six complete commercial and residential projects. Purposive sampling was used to select 84 participants for the study. Semi-structured questionnaires were used in the study to collect data. The data was analyzed using SPSS whereby descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results show that the R-square value was 0.282 and R was 0.531. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was significant at p=0.001 with an F statistic of 9.961 indicating that the model used was fit for the data. The data also revealed that client variations (p= 0.05), financial availability (p = 0.047), and construction disputes (p = 0.001) are statistically significant determinants affecting the performance of NSSF construction projects. The main findings of the study demonstrate that the key critical success factors used in this study affected the performance of NSSF-completed construction projects either positively or negatively. The study recommends that companies should adhere to the principles that safeguard project management to adequately manage the critical factors and ultimately minimize project delays.
