Local Content Policies in the Russian Higher Education Sector: Harming or Aiding Internationalization?
Authors: Crowley-Vigneau Anne , Baykov Andrey , Kalyuzhnova Yelena , Gnevasheva Vera
Published: December 2021

Tensions between modernization and stability in Russia have been widely analyzed in the economic and political spheres; yet in the higher education sector, studies have mainly focused on the dominant internationalization discourse and left the demand for support and stability in universities understudied. This paper analyzes the friction between modernization and stability in educational policies, identifying the difficulties experienced when internationalizing universities and the opportunities for national governments to support academics. Through a case study devoted to the Russian higher education sector, the authors establish that the rules adopted by the government to ensure that internationalization processes are beneficial to Russian universities and to the country as a whole bear a striking similarity with Local Content policies in other spheres. The survey of Russian academics conducted by the authors reveals that the large acceptance among them of internationalization of higher education is accompanied by expectations that the state will help with capacity building and protect them from the negative aspects of a rapid integration into the international educational space. An analysis of the findings points out the benefits and risks of helping universities and their staff in the transition to international competition. Adequately calibrated LC policies are shown to aid the internationalization of higher education as they help “rub the edges off” an intensive catch-up internationalization program and support what is a “fledgling industry” in its transition to international competition.
Non-Cognitive Characteristics and Higher Education Choices
Authors: Rozhkova Ksenia , Roshchin Sergey
Published: December 2021

Non-cognitive skills, shaped by genetics and early socialization experiences, are an important component of human capital that affects a number of social and economic outcomes throughout the life course, including individual educational choices. This study is focused on the contribution of non-cognitive skills to higher education trajectories: intention to study in college, probability of going to college, major choice, and college selectivity. The study uses data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the Higher School of Economics (RLMSHSE) for 2011 and 2016–2018. Non-cognitive skills are measured using the Big Five personality traits and locus of control, the two most prominent psychological concepts in the field. Educational intentions of adolescents aged 15–19 and past educational choices of young people aged 23–29 are analyzed using probit models and multinomial and ordinal logistic regressions. The psychological traits of openness to experience, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and internal locus of control are found to be the most powerful factors affecting educational intentions and choices, but results vary as a function of gender and socioeconomic characteristics.

Настоящая статья представляет собой исследование основных причин возникновения в практике рассмотрения доменных споров коллегиями арбитров UDRP неклассических решений, не основанных на приоритете даты регистрации доменного имени или даты возникновения права на товарный знак. Проанализированы нетипичные решения различных аккредитованных арбитражных центров на предмет соответствия этих решений провозглашенным Всемирной организацией интеллектуальной собственности принципам справедливости и добросовестности, применяемым при разрешении споров между правообладателями товарных знаков и администраторами доменных имен. Основное внимание уделено сложности практического применения принципов справедливости и добросовестности, опасности субъективного толкования как самих принципов, так и обстоятельств, рассматриваемых на их основе споров. Сделана попытка выявить наиболее часто встречающиеся решения, принимаемые коллегиями арбитров в результате оценки исключительных обстоятельств, а также расширенного толкования Политики UDRP, и определить закономерность и обоснованность принятия таких решений. В статье сделан вывод о том, что превалирующая часть нетипичных решений UDRP основана на применении фундаментальных правовых принципов справедливости и добросовестности, носит структурный, последовательный характер и не является особым мнением отдельных арбитров. В заключение авторы высказывают мнение о необходимости совершенствования подходов к толкованию Политики и Правил UDRP для повышения эффективности применения процедуры UDRP.

Published: December 2021

Currently, society is evolving into information one, which, on the one hand, simplifies the interaction between participants in public relations, and on the other hand, increases the risk of human rights violations, when using information and communication technologies. Changing the structure and scope of information transfer requires both the subjects of social relations, which have a personal interest in ensuring the highest possible level of security of transmitted data, and the state as a whole as a guarantor of the stability of the legal field of public relations. It is obvious that national security largely depends on information security, and in the course of technical progress, this dependence is only growing. Information, acting as an economic and social guarantee of stability of existence and development of society and the state, is the object of close attention and influence of the state. The introduction of e-document management and the creation of interconnected information resources have made information vulnerable to outside interference.The choice is made by the individual user of information-and-communication technologies, by civil society as a whole (for example, by opposing or supporting certain state policies inthe information sphere) and by public authorities, as they decide on lawmaking and implementation of relevant norms. Each state is constantly balancing between the principles of respect for human and civil rights and freedoms, integration into the international community, the need to ensure economic growth and national security. However, no domestic policy should outweigh the need for international cooperation in the fight against crime, which should be based on the principles of openness, mutual assistance, development of new forms of cooperation. It seems that international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime should be carried out with the participation of all countries.The legal basis of the regime of preservation of information in internationallaw includes the following components: basic principles of human rights protection; the procedure for cross-border circulation of information; protection of confidential information; the status of international bodies implementing a unified legal policy in the field of information protection and its implementation. It seems that international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime must be carried out with the participation of all countries. At the same time, based on a generalized analysis of the legal framework of international, European and national legislation of the EU countries, a certain approach to the implementation of international cooperation in combating cybercrime is proposed: improving the legal framework for international cooperation, harmonized implementation of developed legal norms into national legislation, improving approaches to information exchange.

Published: December 2021

Improving energy efficiency is one of the main ways to reduce energy pollution that leads to economic development, increasing energy access and better life. That can result in reducing fossil fuel use and growing clean energy supplies. The Gulf countries have as many renewable resources as hydrocarbons like sunshine, considerable wind resources, and geothermal. The economy of the Middle east deeplydepends on fossil fuel export. Declining fossil fuel supplies and rising energy prices are driving global energy supplies to renewables energies. Although the Middle East region, due to its special geographical features, has significant potential for the growth of renewable energy sources, they have not been developed yet. It overviews the energy situation and sustainability, economic potential of renewable energy, policies for energy systems over the recent decades in six resource-rich countries in the middle east. In addition, along with renewable energy technologies, possible ways to solve current environmental problems are recognized. The methodology of this work is PESTLE analysis of these countries' energy status to develop a long-term mechanism for sustainable and secure energy for the Middle East based on Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental. Also, it identifies challenges that restrict the development of renewable energy technologies in the Middle East. By analyzing the status of energy in recent decades, the importance of implementation of effective energy policies to develop sustainable energy can be realized.

Published: December 2021

The study of Russian elites is one of the urgent topics of post-Soviet political science. The numerous works of domestic and foreign authors, as well as the emergence of a separate research direction “Elitology” has become the result of the growing interest to this social group. Along with the federal political elite, the researches study regional elites. The subject of research is the functioning of the group, standing at the top of the social hi-erarchy, as well as its social portrait, the features of recruitment, and system of values. The latter due to its particular importance and insufficient coverage, are of the greatest interest. Taking into account this fact, we analyze one of the key elements of a social portrait of the studied social group — the level of education. One of the first overall studies of republican political elites we carried out in 2009–2010, during the survey 618 representatives of ex-ecutive, legislative and municipal authorities of the republics of Buryatia, Sakha (Yaku-tia), Tyva were interviewed (576 questionnaires were analyzed). In addition to the ques-tionnaire survey, we also conducted expert interviews in three studied regions of Russia. Within the framework of the study, based on the analysis of biographical documents, we identified and systematized the types, places of education, and training programmes of the representatives of republican political elites, as well as information about their academic degrees. In the article, we also focused on the correlation between the level of education of political elites and the pace of development of the Russian state.

Published: December 2021

The epidemic of obesity is spreading worldwide and subsequently, rate of obesity during pregnancy has also increased. Maternal overweight and obesity are widely associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Recurrent miscarriage is an important reproductive health issue, because it affects many couples. So the present study is planned to study the relationship between maternal obesity and pregnancy outcome in women with recurrent miscarriages.

Observational Cross sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. 111 Postnatal women between 18 to 44 years of age with history of two or more miscarriages less than 20 weeks of gestation in previous pregnancy were included in the study. First trimester weight at the first visit (registration) was recorded, BMI was calculated & women were divided into obese and non obese groups. The outcome of present pregnancy was noted as Mode of delivery, Gestational diabetes mellitus, Pregnancy induced hypertension, Preterm delivery etc. Statistical tests were used to quantify the risk.

Gestational diabetes (OR= 13.6) and pregnancy induced hypertension (OR=4.2) were significantly associated with obesity in women with recurrent miscarriages. [At 95% CI] The incidence of LSCS and preterm delivery was more in overweight and obese mothers, though not statistically significant.

Maternal obesity significantly contributes to poor prognosis for the mother and the baby during delivery. Hence the women of this group should be regarded as ‘high risk’ and counselling and the risk assessment should be done during ANC visits.

Ingestion of corrosive substances may cause severe to serious injuries of the upper aero-digestive tractand the poisoning can even result in death. Acute corrosive intoxications pose a major problem in clinical toxicology since the most commonly affected population are the young with psychic disorders, suicidal intent and alcohol addiction. In our case report, a 19-year-old male, 2year engineering student committed suicide by consuming a heavy metal salt available in his chemistry lab after leaving a suicidal note. He got treated in a private hospital for 2 days and later he succumbed due to poisoning. Though the findings of this heavy metal poisoning mimicks corrosive acid poisoning, it has to be viewed through the eye of forensic toxicology for a clear view in clinching the diagnosis in the earlier phase of treatment.

: In prosthodontics, esthetics a combination of the art and science. Patients requiring complete dentures usually expect comfort first, followed by harmonious appearance, and lastly efficiency. Therefore, the correct selection of the artificial teeth is essential for achieving a pleasant esthetic outcome. A number of soft tissue landmarks have been purported as useful for anterior tooth selection; but these are easily affected by several factors such as aging and the weight and build of the person. In the present study hard tissue landmarks like pterygomaxillary notches and maxillary arch width was presented as alternative anatomical landmark for anterior teeth selection. The aim of the study was to evaluate the hamular width and inter maxillary arch width which could be the guide for the selection ofartificial teeth for complete maxillary denture in the North-East Indian population.

The study was conducted on 100 dentate individuals from the North Eastern Indian population, between the age group of 18- 30 years. All measurements were done with digital calliper on cast obtained after impression with irreversible hydrocolloid impression material.

Pearson correlation analysis showed, statistically significant correlation between maxillary archwidth and central incisor width. The result was significant at p<0.05 but not high enough to be practically used. Correlation between hamular width and central incisor width was found to be insignificant. The value of R was 0.05435. The result was significant at p < 0.05.

The maxillary arch width was in direct proportion to the maxillary central incisor width which meant that the increase of maxillary arch width,there was a corresponding increase of maxillary central incisor width. Significant correlation was found between maxillary arch width and central incisor width with p value=0132. The result was significant at p<0.05 but not high enough to be practically used. But In this study statistically insignificant correlation was found between hamular width and central incisor width.

Published: December 2021

In this study, we evaluate the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic periodontitis on the basis of clinical attachment present and severity of attachment loss in both the cases. First of all Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and chronic periodontitis was performed, thereafter bacterial DNA extraction from blood serum sample and subgingival dental plaque of each group through PCR and later DNA purification through Spin protocol was performed, oligonucleotide primer was used to detect t.forcythia and PCR amplification was done to detect T. Denticola for both the groups .PBDNA was detected in both SGP and serum samples of both the groups. In SGP samples, Tannerella forsythia was more frequently detected as compared to serum samples of both the groups. In result theclinical attachment Level (CAL) was observed to be higher in RA group as compared to CP group.

Comparison of CAL according to severity was also observed in both the groups which suggested that RA group has mild periodontitis as compared to CP group in which moderate to severe periodontitis was seen, Detection of periodontal bacterial DNA by PCR assay PBDNA was detected in both SGP and serum samples. In SGP samples, Tannerella forsythia was more frequently detected as compared to serum samples of both the groups. So these are two common chronic inflammatory diseases with a similar host-mediated pathogenesis. Current evidence suggests that an association exists between periodontitis and RA. Well-designed multicenter longitudinal clinical trials and studies with sufficient sample sizes are needed to ascertain the relationship between these two diseases and whether periodontal treatment can reduce the severity of RA or prevent its onset.

Dentoalveolar trauma occurs in relation to injuries of fall, road traffic accidents, sports injury or physical violence. There may be injury limited to the tooth, or may involve the periodontium around, or in severe cases, alveolar bone or oral mucosa may be traumatised. There can be myriad injuries of the same structure depending upon the severity of impact. The injuries of tooth most commonly being crown fractures, followed by root fractures, luxation or complete avulsion of the tooth. Every type of dentoalveolar injury requires a specific set of clinical protocols to be followed in order to successfully diagnose and manage the particular case.

We hereby report a case of a 29-year-old male patient with a history of fall under the influence of alcohol, who had fallen flat on his face and had suffered intrusive luxation of permanent maxillary right central incisor and avulsion of permanent maxillary left central and lateral incisors. The exarticulated teeth still had slight soft tissue attachment to the socket. On the patients first visit to dental OPD, being a dental emergency, the avulsed teeth were immediately restored back into the socket under local anaesthesia after adequately irrigating and debriding the socket, followed by repositioning of the internally luxated tooth, so that all were in their correct anatomical position. After checking for occlusion, they were splinted in position with Erich’s arch bar and 26 gauge SS wire and after giving post-operative instructions patient was asked to follow up after 6 weeks. At 6 weeks, the affected teeth were found to be firm and so arch bar were removed. Patient was advised to follow up further. At periodic follow ups, the patient was asymptomatic and maintained adequate oral functioning of the injured teeth, thus with good patient compliance and proper diagnosis and treatment, dentoalveolar fractures can be managed successfully. The main purpose of this article is to lay emphasis on the timing of treatment of the dentoalveolar injuries. The earlier they are managed, the better is the outcome.
La política de garantía de créditos como acceso a financiación en la crisis del Covid
Authors: Garcimartín Carlos , Schneider Christian , Astudillo Jhonatan A.
Published: December 2021

Previo a la crisis producto de la pandemia del Covid-19, el acceso al financiamiento ya era uno de los obstáculos más importantes para las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (MIPYMES). Como consecuencia de la crisis, este problema es aún mayor. Para hacer frente a este desafío, las autoridades de los diversos países han empleado herramientas de política monetaria y financiera con el objetivo de impedir una fuerte contracción del crédito, como la bajada de las tasas de referencia, inyecciones de liquidez o flexibilización regulatoria. Sin embargo, ante el aumento de la incertidumbre, las autoridades de muchos países se han embarcado en programas de garantías de crédito, especialmente, aunque no solo, orientadas a las MIPYMES y, en algunos casos, también a sectores especialmente vulnerables en esta crisis. La idea que subyace a estos programas ha sido preservar los incentivos de las entidades bancarias para mantener el crédito, aprovechando su experiencia y conocimiento. Su funcionamiento es, en principio, simple: el gobierno garantiza al banco recuperar un cierto porcentaje de la deuda si el prestatario entra en bancarrota, normalmente a cambio del pago de una prima anual sobre la parte garantizada. No obstante, para ser efectivo deben diseñarse varios elementos clave, como los participantes, el monto del programa, el porcentaje de cobertura o el precio de la garantía. Precisamente, en este trabajo busca analizar los elementos principales de diversas experiencias internacionales en la puesta en marcha de líneas de garantía de créditos surgidos a raíz de la crisis del Covid-19; lista que no pretende ser exhaustiva ni en cuanto a la cobertura de países ni respecto a las características de los programas. Su objetivo es mostrar los principales elementos y dejar constancia del importante papel que han desempeñado en esta crisis.
La presencia del ausente. Dios en literaratos contemporáneos
Authors:   Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Mancebo Roca Juan Agustín , Barnés Antonio , Martínez Díaz Alicia Nila
Published: December 2021

Cuando Friedrich Nietzsche anunció «la muerte de Dios» en 1882 atendía a un proceso de secularización de las sociedades occidentales que iniciaron el desplazamiento de la idea de lo sagrado. En la actualidad, el sujeto contemporáneo bascula entre una razón mediática que lo imbuye de información fragmentaria, inmediata y reduccionista y otra razón científica, que debate continuamente sobre lo que puede o no afirmar. Pese al sombrío mundo que aparece con la idea de la expulsión de Dios, el discurso sobre lo esencial se sigue permeabilizando a través de diferentes manifestaciones literarias que navegan por los más recónditos espacios del alma humana. La presencia del ausente contiene doce capítulos en los que se muestra la preocupación última por la gran pregunta traducida en aportaciones que reflejan el protagonismo de lo sagrado a través de diferentes enfoques y matices. Un libro inusual que invita a la lectura atenta y a la reflexión pausada, actividades impropias del mundo que habitamos, pero quizá, por ello, más esenciales que nunca. Y con este ánimo lo presentamos. Con el deseo de su encuentro con todos aquellos lectores inquietos, buscadores impenitentes del Autor.
Presencia y sentido de Dios en "Irene o el tesoro" (1954), de Antonio Buero Vallejo
Authors:   Academia de las Artes Escénicas de España, González Subías José Luis
Published: December 2021

Resulta sorprendente, y no parece casual, que un número significativo de obras del teatro español que abordaron, en el siglo XX, el tema de la fe y la presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas fueron escritas y representadas en la década de los cincuenta: La ciudad sin Dios, de Joaquín Calvo Sotelo, en 1957; La sangre de Dios, de Alfonso Sastre, llevada a escena en 1955; o la que traemos como objeto de estudio y reflexión a estas páginas: Irene o el tesoro, de Antonio Buero Vallejo, estrenada en el Teatro María Guerrero, el 14 de diciembre de 1954.
«Un Cristo de Color "Recrucificado"»: Countee Cullen y el simbolismo religioso
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Villanes Vaquero Mario
Published: December 2021

Countee Cullen (1903-1946) es una de las voces más representativas del Renacimiento de Harlem, movimiento artístico de la segunda década del siglo pasado. Si bien no se tiene certeza sobre el lugar exacto de su nacimiento, las ciudades de Baltimore, Louisville y Nueva York se disputan ese honor. Cullen perdió a sus padres y hermano a temprana edad y su abuela paterna le crio hasta que ésta falleció, siendo todavía adolescente. La vida le concedió otra oportunidad al ser adoptado por el matrimonio formado por el reverendo Frederick Cullen, pastor de la Iglesia Metodista Episcopal del famoso barrio neoyorquino, y su esposa, Carolyn Belle Mitchell. Su posición acomodada facilitó al joven Countee poder asistir al DeWitt Clinton High School—cuyo alumnado era mayoritariamente blanco—y, más tarde, le garantizó una educación selecta en las universidades de Nueva York y Harvard.

Liability under Anti-Doping Law in Public Law Domain
Authors: Fundowicz Sławomir
Published: December 2021

In Poland, the Act of April 21, 2017 on Combating Doping in Sport is in force. The new law raises new questions. One of the questions is whether, the combating doping in sport belongs to private law or public law. The dualistic division of law itself is problematic. The legal regulation of doping has undergone a process similar to criminal law, i.e. from private law to public law. A breakthrough in combating doping was the establishment of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in 1999.The new Polish act followed this path. The Act on Combating Doping in Sport provided the legal basis for the existence of the Polish Anti-Doping Agency (POLADA), as a state legal entity. POLADA is therefore a body governed by public law, which establishes anti-doping rules, controls and oversees compliance, authorises the use of prohibited substances or methods, and conducts disciplinary action for violation of anti-doping rules.
Human Folly and Border Fences: Looking to Non-Human Actors at the Indo–Bangladesh Border
Authors: Uddipta Ranjan Boruah
Published: December 2021

The obsession with inter-state territorial borders and the associated paraphernalia of border management and security makes borders and their management a primarily human-centric discourse. This paper makes an attempt at introducing the agency of rivers as non-human actors—or rather as actants—in shaping and managing international borders. The paper looks specifically at the riverine sector of the Indo-Bangladesh border, where the international boundary has been re-negotiated each year by the transnational rivers, primarily the Brahmaputra (also the Gangadhar), through flooding, erosion, and deposition of sediment. By interrogating the role of rivers in shaping the border and border management strategies, the paper argues that humans, despite persisting as the primary agents in border management, are not the only actors. Drawing on Actor Network Theory (ANT), a case is made to appreciate the general symmetry between humans and non-humans as a-priori equal. Incorporating both in an actor-network may provide insights into border management in complex borderlands.

Challenges of Conserving and Co-Managing Khadimnagar National Park and Ratargul Fresh Water Swamp Forest in Bangladesh
Authors: Mahfuz-Ur-Rahman Md. , Dey Tanmoy
Published: December 2021

National Parks are protected areas conserving all types of flora, fauna and their habitats regardless of generic diversification. In Bangladesh, protected area managers face difficulties to conserve these areas. This study is formulated to find out those existing difficulties against effective co-management of natural resources based on the local people’s perception. A purposive sampling is followed by a semi-structured interview to gather data from the field level of Khadimnagar National Park and Ratargul Fresh Water Swamp Forest from September 2019 to December 2019 by interviewing 100 local people for RFWSF and KNP on the basis of a qualitative research method. Both inhabitants and the Forest Department are found to be responsible for inhibiting the effective management of the subjected areas meanwhile difficulties related to motivation, cordiality, alternative job generation, financial support to management authority, tourism management and resource extraction from forests mainly prevail. To ensure substantial sustainability, both of the actors should come forward to find out a way to get rid of this devastation and to ameliorate the socio-economic condition of these areas. Arranging more conferences to raise motivation, awareness about the forest offenses and generating alternative sources of income can be counted as a strategy to reduce pressure on both forests.
