Published: September 2022

Nghiên cứu này đánh giá mức độ nhận thức của người dân của khu vực miền Bắc Việt Nam về tình trạng ô nhiễm rác thải sinh hoạt (RTSH), sự sẵn lòng chi trả cho việc xử lý RTSH trong cả khu vực thành thị và nông thôn. Trong bối cảnh của đại dịch Covid-19, nhóm nghiên cứu đã kết hợp phương pháp phỏng vấn trực tiếp và online để khảo sát 502 hộ gia đình tại 8 tỉnh/thành phố ở khu vực miền Bắc Việt Nam. Kết quả cho thấy 71,5% người được khảo sát đã nhận thức được vấn đề ô nhiễm môi trường do rác thải sinh hoạt gây ra, 83,07% người dân được khảo sát sẵn sàng chi trả tự nguyện (WTP) cho các hoạt động xử lý rác thải sinh hoạt tại khu vực sinh sống với giá trị trung bình được ước tính từ mô hình dao động từ 154.000VND đến 155.000VND đồng/tháng/hộ gia đình. Kết quả phân tích mô hình cho thấy người dân khu vực nông thôn có xu hướng sẵn sàng chi trả tự nguyện cho quỹ xử lý rác thải cao hơn người dân sống ở thành thị. Bên cạnh đó, những công dân có trình độ học vấn, nhận thức cao thì sẵn sàng chi trả hơn, những người phụ nữ chăm lo công việc nội trợ trong gia đình sẽ quan tâm hơn đến vấn đề xử lý rác thải sinh hoạt và sẵn sàng chi trả cho vấn đề này. Kết quả nghiên cứu này gợi mở một số giải pháp chính sách nhằm giảm thiểu ô nhiễm rác thải, thúc đẩy hợp tác công tư trong lĩnh vực quản lý và bảo vệ môi trường ở Việt Nam trong thời gian tới.

Noval oncological therapies as chemotherapeutic drugs ,immuntherapeutic, molecular target therapy and radiotherapies have improve cancer survivorship by potentially life-saving. These noval anti-neoplastic therapies have a significant adverse outcomes, particularly cardiotoxicity which prevent patients from complete receiving cancer treatment and so increase morbidity and mortality rate. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of noncancer deaths. Cardiovascular disease and cancer consider as the first and second most common cause of the burden of disease and death . Nowadays they are highly recognized and its drawback prevention remains challenging in cancer survivorship . Development of cadiovascular affection is associated with multiple modifiable risk factors including obesity, hypertension , diabetes, alcohol consumption, smoking, age, chronic kidney disease. Pre-assessment of those patients most likely to be given the cardioprotective therapy to improve cardiac outcomes in patients with preexisting heart disease .

Published: September 2022

The reassessment of the rare earth element (REE) potential of France led us to investigate REE behaviour in black-shales belonging to the Middle Ordovician Angers-Traveusot formation from central Britany (France), with an emphasis on the formation of nodular grey monazite during the diagenetic and low-grade metamorphic evolution. Temperatures conditions and mass transfer underwent in the black shales were first characterized using rock geochemistry, rock-eval pyrolysis and by gradual changes of clay mineral crystallinity. Then, monazite texture, composition and U–Pb in-situ dating were determined and correlated with the diagenetic/anchimetamorphic conditions. In the Ordovician black shales, nodular monazite appears at the transition between the upper diagenesis and the anchizone metamorphic facies, at conditions between 140 and 250°C, in response to processes controlled by different proxies of competing influences such as the organic matter maturation, Fe oxide/hydroxide and clay transformation with fluid releasing. Monazite occurs mainly as elongated nodules, up to 2 mm in diameter that are mostly characterised by their grey colour due to abundance in host-rock mineral inclusions. Monazite nodules compositions are systematically low in Th and U contents but are zoned with Nd and middle REE rich cores surrounded by light REE-rich rims, with no evidence of inherited domains. More rarely, small grains of LREE-rich monazite are observed in late stage fractures. Monazite nodules were dated at ca. 405-400 Ma, which is proposed to record high heat flux responsible of the anchimetamorphic conditions recorded at the base of Angers-Traveusot formation. Late monazite-Ce were dated at ca. 385 and 350 Ma at the onset of the Variscan deformation.

During the past few years, Distributing Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has become an invaluable tool for recording high-fidelity seismic wavefields with great spatiotemporal resolutions. However, the considerable amount of data generated during DAS experiments limits their distribution with the broader scientific community. Such a bottleneck inherently slows down the pursuit of new scientific discoveries in geosciences. Here, we introduce PubDAS, the first large-scale open-source repository where several DAS datasets from multiple experiments are publicly shared. PubDAS currently hosts eight datasets covering a variety of geological settings (e.g., urban centers, underground mine, seafloor), spanning from several days to several years, offering both continuous and triggered active source recordings, and totalling up to ~90 Tb of data. This manuscript describes these datasets, their metadata, and how to access and download them. Some of these datasets have only been shallowly explored, leaving the door open for new discoveries in Earth sciences and beyond.
Examining the Research Methods of Early Warning Signals in Clinical Psychology through a Theoretical Lens
Authors: Cui Jingmeng , Olthof Merlijn , Hasselman Fred , Lichtwarck-Aschoff Anna
Published: September 2022

Background: The past few years have seen a rapid growth in research on early warning signals (EWSs) in the psychopathology domain. Whereas early studies found EWSs to be associated with sudden changes in clinical change trajectories, later findings showed that EWSs may not be general across variables and cases and have low predictive power. These mixed results may be explained by the diverse methods employed in clinical EWS studies, with some of these approaches and practices potentially misaligned with the underlying theory of EWSs. Methods: We aim to examine the research methodology in the field of clinical EWSs based on the underlying theory and mechanisms. We show a derivation of EWSs for general multivariate dynamic systems, identify the key assumptions of EWSs, and compare them with the common research practices in this field.Results: We identify the following key assumptions for EWS validation studies: the system should depart from a point attractor that is no longer stable during the critical transition; EWSs should be calculated strictly before the transition; EWSs and the start of the transition should involve the same set of variables. The common research practices in the field were often not in line with those assumptions.Conclusions: We suggest future research in clinical EWSs should be designed as such the transition is visually checked with distance plots, the EWS assessment period is strictly before the transition, and a consistent set of variables is used. EWS as a theory-based prediction tool bears its merits compared with data-driven approaches, making it important to align the methodology closely with the underlying theory.
Social Priming of Speech Perception: The Role of Individual Differences in Implicit Racial and Ethnic Associations
Authors: McLaughlin Drew Jordan , Van Engen Kristin J.
Published: September 2022

Prior research has shown that visual information, such as a speaker’s perceived race or ethnicity, prompts listeners to expect a specific socio-phonetic pattern (“social priming”). Indeed, a picture of an East Asian face may facilitate perception of second language (L2) Mandarin Chinese-accented English but interfere with perception of first language- (L1-) accented English. The present study builds on this line of inquiry, addressing the relationship between social priming effects and implicit racial/ethnic associations for L1- and L2-accented speech. For L1-accented speech, we found no priming effects when comparing White versus East Asian or Latina primes. For L2- (Mandarin Chinese-) accented speech, however, transcription accuracy was slightly better following an East Asian prime than a White prime. Across all experiments, a relationship between performance and individual differences in implicit associations emerged, but in no cases did this relationship interact with the priming manipulation. Ultimately, exploring social priming effects with additional methodological approaches, and in different populations of listeners, will help to determine whether these effects operate differently in the context of L1- and L2-accented speech.
Cross-Border Impacts of Terrorist Attacks and the Importance of Proximity
Authors: Knoester Olaf , van Dooremalen Thijs
Published: September 2022

Over the past two decades, social science research has repeatedly shown that societies tend to be affected more by a foreign event when it occurs in a geographically, culturally, and/or socially proximate location. The extant terrorism literature, however, has thus far only systematically examined the role played by geographical proximity in the creation of terrorist attacks’ cross-border impacts, thereby ignoring the possible importance of cultural and social proximity. In this paper, we therefore investigate both to what extent and why geographical, cultural, and/or social proximity between an audience and the locus of a foreign terrorist attack increases the latter’s impact on the former. We do this by conducting an exploratory case study of the impacts of seven foreign terrorist attacks on American public debates. Overall, while we find strong evidence that both cultural and social proximity increased a foreign terrorist incident’s impact on American public debates, there are no indications that geographical proximity had a similar effect. These findings suggest (1) that the concept of proximity should be more systematically integrated into the terrorism literature and (2) that a broader conception of proximity is needed to fully understand when and why the impacts of a terrorist attack cross national borders.
An Ethnographic Model of Stress and Stress Management in two Canadian Inuit Communities
Authors: Collings Peter , Ready Elspeth , Medina-Ramírez Oswaldo
Published: September 2022

As part of the first stage of a Community-Based Participatory Research Project with two communities in the Canadian Arctic—Kangiqsujuaq, Nunavik, and Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories—we conducted 57 interviews eliciting residents’ perceptions of pressing issues facing their communities, problems affecting health and well-being, and how researchers or other organized groups could help alleviate those problems. A recurrent theme that emerged during these interviews was having “no one to talk to.” Here, we focus on understanding why communication was a central theme, using a grounded-theory approach to develop a model of Inuit stress management. Inuit in both Kangiqsujuaq and Ulukhaktok codify stress as isumaaluttuq, or excess worry, which often manifests physically and leads to social withdrawal. Because stress is believed to accumulate in the body, managing it involves decisions about whether to “Get It Out” or “Keep It In.” Keep It In is a potentially dangerous strategy because, if the problem does not resolve itself, accumulated stress may have harmful consequences. Inuit viewed talking to others as the most effective means to Get It Out, but respondents also identified numerous barriers to doing so. One important reason for this is that stress is transferable: talking to others about a problem potentially increases the burden of stress on them. Consequently, Inuit may choose to Keep It In to avoid the potential negative consequences (for others or for oneself) of sharing bad thoughts. Based on this preliminary model, we consider questions for further inquiry and implications for community-based mental health programming in Inuit communities.
Measuring the effectiveness of valence and motivation message frames on audience engagement
Authors: Blake Katie , KUBO Takahiro , Veríssimo Diogo
Published: September 2022

Changing public behaviours is an essential step for successful conservation, and can be achieved through effective use of message framing. However, its use in the conservation sector is not well studied. A content analysis was first performed to assess what types of framing styles ENGOs often employ for their social media posts. A real-world online fundraising campaign was then run to examine the influence of value-framing (‘Intrinsic’ and ‘Extrinsic’) and message valence (‘Positive’ and ‘Negative’) on audience engagement with the advertisements, across five countries. Altogether, ENGOs generally used ‘Positive’ framing for their posts significantly more often than ‘Negative’, but did not use one type of value-framing more than the other. For the fundraising campaign, there were significant differences between countries’ engagement with the advertisements. However, click-through rates did not significantly differ when using types of value-framing nor message valence, and no donations were received to support the campaign. These results may show that message framing alone has little influence on audience engagement, if any. A series of recommendations are made to enhance fundraising success for the future. These findings are a much-needed contribution to the ongoing debate regarding the use of message framing for attracting support for biodiversity conservation.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to understand the actual status of teachers' performance perception of innovative education district projects, verify the effect of participation experience on teachers' perception, and analyze goal perception according to the characteristics of performance perception. To this end, a survey was conducted on 950 teachers in seven areas of the Incheon Education Innovation District. As a result of the study, first, the school area-linked vision and planning, sustainability, and educational cooperation system were derived as four sub-factors of teachers' performance perception of innovative education district projects. Second, as a result of analyzing the difference in performance perception according to the experience of participation in the innovative education district project, the perception of teachers with experience of participation was higher than that of teachers without participation experience. Third, based on the characteristics of teachers' performance perception of innovative education districts, it was classified into four clusters, such as; 'a cluster with very high overall perception', 'a cluster with very low overall perception', 'a cluster with high overall perception'. and 'a cluster with low overall awareness'. Fourth, according to the teacher's performance recognition cluster, the level of goal recognition showed a significant difference, and the higher the performance recognition, the higher the goal recognition. Based on the research results, policy and practical measures were proposed for the development of sustainable innovative education districts and business operation.

Inspecteurs des impôts sans frontières, un instrument de mobilisationdes recettes fiscales au servicedu développement
Authors: Saint-Amans Pascal
Published: September 2022

Les pratiques d’évitement fiscal des entreprises multinationales font perdre chaque année aux États plus de 250 milliards de dollars de recettes fiscales. Afin d’aider les pays en développement à mieux lutter contre ces pratiques qui érodent leur base imposable, l’OCDE et le PNUD ont lancé, en 2015, l’initiative Inspecteurs des impôts sans frontières, qui repose sur l’accompagnement, en temps réel, des vérificateurs locaux par des inspecteurs des impôts chevronnés. 104 programmes ont été lancés et 55 menés à leur terme, principalement en Afrique. Les programmes de coopération sud-sud sont en développement rapide.
La pertinence des programmesde sécurisation de certaines recettespubliques au Cameroun
Authors: Mbassa Gilbert
Published: September 2022

Le visage que présente la quasi-totalité des États d’Afrique, notamment l’Afrique subsaharienne, concernant la gestion des ressources publiques en général, est inquiétant. On a observé durant ces dernières décennies une poussée exponentielle de la mauvaise gouvernance dans le sillage de certaines recettes publiques, en l’occurrence les domaines fiscaux et non fiscaux. Ce qui a donné naissance à la volonté ferme de mettre sur pied des mécanismes capables d’inscrire le processus de gestion de certaines recettes publiques en Afrique sous un prisme mélioratif. Ceci s’est décliné de manière concrète par l’adoption des programmes de sécurisation de ce type de recettes. Ils sont donc nés de la nécessité absolue de réduire ou d’annihiler considérablement les pratiques viciant une gestion saine et performante notamment la fraude, la distraction des fonds publics ou encore l’optimisation de la mobilisation desdites ressources. Cependant, l’exécution effective de ces programmes laisserait entrevoir des insuffisances substantielles conduisant à la remise en question de leur pertinence même.
THE ASIA-PACIFIC SECURITY SYSTEMS: THE DYNAMICS AND THE DEVELOPMENT FACTORS
Authors:   IMEMO RAS, Moscow, Russia, KANAEV Evgeny A. , Liu Xingtao ,   RANEPA, Moscow, Russia
Published: September 2022

The article traces the evolution of the Asia-Pacific security systems: the collective security system and the cooperative security system. The formation and the evolution of those systems are scrutinized, the factors behind their transformation are revealed, the influence of the mega-projects Indo-Pacific Region (IPR) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on both systems is clarified. The academic novelty of the paper stems from a synergy of analyzing the specificity of the Asia-Pacific security systems and the evolution of the Indo-Pacific Region and the Belt and Road Initiative, which has not been sufficiently explored to date. The authors argue that the IPR leads to a decrease in efficiency of both the US-led alliances and the ASEAN-led multilateral venues, while the BRI, bringing a dividing effect on relations between the members of US-led “hub-and-spoke system”, improves positions of ASEAN as the coordinator of ARF, ADMM+8 and the EAS. As a result, the foundations for the neutral and inclusive agenda of multilateral negotiations as a key factor of the ASEAN-led cooperative security system are strengthening.
THE IMPACT OF THE EVENTS IN AFGHANISTAN ON THE TERRORIST SITUATION IN THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN COUNTRIES
Authors:   IMEMO RAS, Russia, Moscow, ROGOZHINA Natalia G.
Published: September 2022

The article dwells on the impact of the victory of the Taliban (it’s under UN sanctions for terrorist activities) on the development of the jihadist movement in the Southeast Asian countries, which on the author opinion will be insignificant in the short term, but in in the long term, it can become a factor in the revitalization of the activities of terrorist organizations, both associated with Al-Qaeda and ISIS (banned in Russia). The seizure of power by the Taliban may have a moral and psychological impact on the Islamists, inspiring them to commit terrorist acts as part of the proclaimed task of creating a caliphate in Southeast Asia. First of all, this threat confronts Indonesia. The possibility of turning Afghanistan into a springboard for the preparation of international terrorism is not ruled out, as it was in the 80s of the last century, when it was the militants who fought on the side of the Mujahideen that formed the backbone of terrorist cells in Southeast Asia. The seizure of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan, which is estimated by Islamists as a victory over "Satan" in the person of the United States and the liberation of the country from the colonialists and imperialists, may have an impact on the strengthening of the process associated with the self-radicalization of Muslims living in Southeast Asia, especially young people. The development of the terrorist situation in the region will largely depend on whether the Taliban can create an effective model for managing an Islamic state.

The paper analyses the reaction of the European Union to the 2021 military coup in Myanmar. The author traces the steps, made by the EU since February 2021 (including thematic statements, sanctions, discussing the situation in Myanmar with its partners and promoting its views). It is concluded that the course of the EU, in spite of being usually justified with axio-logical foundations, is mainly conditioned by its own interests and unwillingness to accept the increase of China’s influence in the region.
INDIA – THAILAND: INVESTMENTS IN A NEIGHBORLY WAY
Authors:   IMEMO RAS, Moscow, Russia, BRAGINA Elena A.
Published: September 2022

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is important for India and Thailand. In 2020, India ranked 5th in the world in terms of incoming investments ($81.7 billion), as a global investor it is 18th (Thailand –15th). In 2017-2021, India's annual incoming investments exceeded the volume of outgoing investments by 4-8 times. In the same period in Thailand, the annual volume of outbound FDI exceeded the inflow of incoming by 1,3-2 times. To date, the mutual penetration of investments of India and Thailand does not exceed 0,5% of the annual volume of total direct investments of each of them, but both states are taking measures to increase it, including within the framework of the existing programs «Look East» and «Act East» in India and - «Look West», «Act West» – in Thailand.

Authors: Shahzad Adeel , Raja Muhammad Yasin Sultan , Zafar Muhammad Rehan
Published: September 2022

This article explores the recent upsurge of using prejudicial discourses in political communication. Following in the footprints of US president Donald Trump many right-wing populist politicians around the world used the strategies of fear to coerce policy making. This article examines the implicit and explicit discursive strategies that were used by Australian Senator Pauline Hanson in order to persuade policymakers to stop immigration and ban the woman's headscarf. The study involves a critical discourse analysis of the maiden speech delivered by Pauline Hanson in Parliament in 2016. The article focuses on the methodologies of Van Dijk's Ideological Square and Ruth Wodak's discourse –historical approach to inspect the linguistic devices used. The findings of the study show that Pauline Hanson used certain lexical choices to represent Australian Muslims as the 'Other' and politicized the issue to achieve her long-lasting wish of banning the immigrants.

300 million Patient Examinations per year; Evaluation of Emergency and Polyclinic Services of 2nd and 3rd Stage Public Health Facilities in Turkey
Authors: BEŞTEMİR Attila , AYDIN Hakan
Published: September 2022

Background: There are many applications to both emergency services and polyclinics in Turkey. Emergency services are the diagnosis and treatment units that meet a significant part of the patient population in Turkey. In our study, the number of patients admitted to and examined in our country's emergency services and hospital outpatient clinics, and the number of consultations requested during the diagnosis and treatment process were examined. The aim is to identify the applications to public hospitals in our country, to examine their changes over the years, and to show the change in emergency and polyclinic services in recent years.

Material and Methods: In this study, which is planned as a retrospective descriptive study, data on the number of patients who applied to the 2nd and 3rd level 836 public hospital outpatient clinics and emergency services in Turkey between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2022 were discussed. The data were recorded on the spreadsheet program and their percentage changes were calculated using the tabulation program statistical formulas.

Results: While the population of our country was approximately 79.8 million in 2016, it increased to 84.6 million by the end of 2021. In this process, the number of patients examined in emergency services increased from 92.6 million in 2016 to 129.5 million by the end of 2021. In the same period, the number of examinations in polyclinics decreased from 199.5 million to 136.9 million. Between these years, the number of specialist physician consultations increased from 12.1 million patients in 2016 to 14.6 million patients at the end of 2021.

Conclusions: Along with the positive developments in health services, there has been a serious increase in the demand for health services in recent years, with the increase in accessibility to services. The number of patients examined in the emergency services, which is the area most affected by these demands, and its share in all examination rates have increased greatly over the years. In the light of these statistics, it would be appropriate to plan both emergency services and polyclinic services according to the conditions of the day.

Authors: Saleem Muhammad , Muntaha Sidra Tul , Durrani Areeha Khan , Shafique Maria
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the study was to quantify the impact of gratitude on subjective well-being and moderating role of materialism among Pakistani youth. For this purpose, the sample of 550 participants (aged 15-29) were selected through a multistage random sampling technique from five metropolitan cities of Pakistan. The measurement tools employed for the data collection were the Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper 1999), Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1998) Gratitude Questionnaire GQ-6 (McCullough et al., 2002), and Material Values Scale (Richines & Dawson., 1992). The collected data were analyzed through Smart PLS (3.0). The results showed a significant positive relationship between gratitude and subjective well-being (happiness and satisfaction with life) and a negative relationship with materialism. Whereas, materialism played a significant moderating role between gratitude and subjective well-being.  Significant gender differences were also exhibited in this study. This study also provides guidelines and strategies for youth and parents, to educational professionals, new researchers, society, and government agencies.
The Role of Personality Traits and Demographic Characteristics in Psychological and Sociocultural Adjustment: Evidence from International Pakistani Scholars
Authors: Bashir Asma , Khalid Ruhi
Published: September 2022

Studying away from home is a divergent experience; exciting and stressful for students studying abroad. The present study examined the role of demographic variables and personality, in sociocultural adjustment, and acculturative stress in Pakistani Muslim International students. Two hundred and seventy Pakistani students participated in this study. Data were collected using a consent form, demographic form, Acculturative Stress Scale for Pakistani Muslim International Students, Sociocultural Adjustment Scale-Revised (SCAS-R), and the Big Five Inventory-The BFI (John & Srivastava, 1999). According to the results, demographic variables predicted acculturative stress while personality contributed to predicting sociocultural adjustment. It was also observed that no demographic variables played a significant role in sociocultural adjustment. Extraversion and neuroticism were positive predictors of acculturative stress. Other results, such as six subscales of acculturative strings, five subscales of sociocultural adjustment, and interaction of demographic variables with other variables were further examined in the context of Pakistani culture. The results of the present study also highlighted the factors that affected acculturative stress, personality traits that promoted sociocultural adjustment, and demographic variables that contributed to the adjustment of Pakistani international students. The current study provided important information that suggested the importance of perseverance traits in the selection of students for studying abroad for the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and the factors contributing to acculturative stress. Implications regarding the need to initiate counseling services for vulnerable students, and implementation of policies at institutional and government levels to assist students in facilitating their adjustment while their stay abroad, is discussed.

Being an important Islamic concept, tawakkul is a fundamental and core value in the Islamic belief system. The present research intended to investigate the mediating role of tawakkul between religious orientation and depression. A purposive sample of (N = 350) Muslim adults with the age of 25 years and above (M = 31.92, SD = 8.72) was recruited in the study.  A cross-sectional survey research design was used. Tawakkul Scale (Gondal et al., 2021), Urdu version of depression subscale of DASS-21 (Aslam, 2018), and Urdu version of Religious Orientation Scale (Khan, et al., 2016) were used in the present study. Results indicated that tawakkul had a negative relationship with depression and extrinsic social religious orientation. On the other hand, it had a positive relationship with intrinsic religious orientation and extrinsic personal religious orientation. The findings of the path model indicated that tawakkul mediated the relationships of intrinsic and extrinsic personal religious orientations with depression. Limitations, implications of the findings of the present study, and suggestions for future investigations have been reflected upon.

This study examined the relationship between sociocultural influences (family, peers, and media), body image dissatisfaction (BE-Appearance, BE-Weight, BE-Attribution) and eating problems in university students. It was hypothesized that (a) sociocultural influences, body image dissatisfaction would be positively correlate and predict eating problems, (b) there would be gender differences in sociocultural influences, body image dissatisfaction and eating problems. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 181 participants (men = 91; women = 89) selected from a private university (Mage = 21.87 years, SD = 1.88) through convenient sampling. An online self-administered survey was undertaken by using Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire (Schaefer et al., 2015), Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (Mendelson et al., 2001) and Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) (Garner et al., 1982). Results indicated that sociocultural influences (family, peers, and media) and body image dissatisfaction (BE-Appearance, BE-Weight) were positively correlated as well as predicted with eating problems in university students. Media, peer influence and BE-Attribution positively predicted eating problems, while BE-Appearance negatively predicted eating problems. Women showed significantly more eating problems than men. The study has implications for prevention and intervention with reference to media literacy programs, counseling and psych education.

In recent decades, every citizen tries for an active position regarding his own health. Such factors as improving the general level of medical literacy and quality of life of the population, developing of pharmaceutical market contribute to the spread of self-medication. The formation of the concept of responsible self-medication, which includes the free use by consumers of effective and safe over-the-counter (OTC) medicines has been the solution to the specified needs of society.

The purpose of the study was to develop modern organizational approaches to the formation of the List of OTC medicines in Ukraine to ensure the proper level of pharmaceutical care.

The objects of the study were the Lists of OTC medicines approved by orders of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine during 2010–2019; the register of medicines allowed to be dispensed without a prescription (according to the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine, as of February 2022); protocols of the pharmacist. The methods of marketing analysis, analytical-comparative, systematic, graphic and method of generalization were used.

Based on the analysis of the Lists of OTC medicines valid in Ukraine in the relevant years (2010–2022), it was established that the number of OTC medicines and the specific weight of it in the registered drugs on the pharmaceutical market decrease annually (from 26.0% to 21.2%).

According to the results of the comparative marketing analysis of the current List of OTC medicines (order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated April 18, 2019 N 876) and the register of OTC medicines (according to the State Register of Drugs of Ukraine, as of February 2022), only insignificant differences were found in the distribution of assortment items by composition, ATC classification, countries of origin, dosage forms.

Deficiencies of the current List of OTC medicines were identified, such as the presence of medicines with expired registration in 2019–2022; duplication of positions; the presence of trade names of the prescription group.

According to the results of the research, organizational approaches that will contribute to the proper formation of the next edition of the domestic List of OTC medicines and its rational use by pharmacists and consumers to realize the possibilities of responsible self-medication are proposed. The results of the research can be used in the formation of a legal framework in Ukraine, which regulates the circulation of OTC medicines on the pharmaceutical market.

Magnetite humic acid (MHA) was successfully synthesized by the coprecipitation method followed by hydrothermal process, as evidenced by the XRD, FTIR, VSM, and SEM analysis characterization results. XRD diffraction shows diffraction peaks at 2θ=21.53º, 35.95º, and 57.93º. The FTIR spectra have a typical absorption at 3,410, 1,589, 1,396, 1,026, 910, 794, and 540 cm-1. Magnetite humic acid was paramagnetic with magnetization (Ms) 17.04 emu/g. Humic acid and magnetite humic acid have an irregular structure; the morphology of magnetite humic acid is smoother than humic acid. Malachite green was more selective than methylene blue and rhodamine B on magnetite humic acid. The adsorption of malachite green on humic acid and magnetite humic acid was carried out at pHpzc 8.06 and 6.08. The adsorption capacity (Qmax) of humic acid (77.519 mg/g) and magnetite humic acid (169.492 mg/g) were found with pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. After five regeneration cycles, the adsorption percentages of malachite green with humic acid and magnetite humic acid ranged from 94.67-61.37% and 62.03-21.11%, respectively. Magnetite humic acid has high stability and reusability. The good regeneration of MHA was supported by the XRD diffractogram. Magnetic properties in the material simplify the adsorption process and minimize the potential for damage to the surface of the material.
