Axiological determination of constitutional identity
Authors: Harasymiv Taras
Published: November 2023

The article determines the axiological features of constitutional identity in the legal context of Ukraine. It was found that the constitutional identity to a large extent forms the political and legal system of the state, as it contains general laws and defining features acquired by the state in the process of its historical, cultural and legal development. That is, constitutional identity is something that, on the one hand, unites society and the institutions of the state, and on the other hand, provides distinctive features from other states. Axiological determination of constitutional identity allows us to conclude about a harmonious combination of elements of statics, which are expressed in the historically formed conditions of the political and legal life of a certain state, and dynamism, which is determined by the further course of development of our state in accordance with modern challenges. It is noted that the source of constitutional identity is not only the constitutive provisions of the Basic Law, acts of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, but also the historical, mental, value and political basis. Therefore, constitutional identity, which is a reflection of public demand in law, must guarantee and protect the rights of individuals at the highest level, and in accordance with the national constitutional and legal system. This justifies the statement about the need for a deeper study of this legal phenomenon in order to establish an authentic organic connection with the people. Such a trend of the relationship between society and the norms that regulate it will contribute to the growth of constitutional patriotism, the establishment of rights and freedoms based on legal certainty and in compliance with the criterion of legitimate expectations. It is concluded that achieving a balance between globalization and integration processes and the preservation of existing state and national values is extremely relevant for modern Ukraine, which during the full-scale armed aggression confirmed and steadfastly upholds the declared and constitutionally enshrined aspirations to adhere to the European and Euro-Atlantic vector.

Authors: Zhuravskyi Rostyslav
Published: November 2023

The article reveals the potential of public organizations in shaping the legal ideology of Ukrainian society. Revealing the role of the activities of public organizations in the formation of the legal ideology of Ukrainian society, the following functions of them in this process are determined: civil and professional socialization; communication function; regulatory, organizational, oppositional, protective, educational and personnel functions. The article found out that among the most popular ways of forming the legal ideology of Ukrainian society, which are used by public organizations and are extremely significant in military conditions, the following should be singled out: volunteer and charitable activities, educational and scientific work, establishing international relations, providing support socially vulnerable citizens, internally displaced persons, victims of military operations, and military personnel and their families. The article emphasizes that the potential of public organizations in the formation of legal ideology lies primarily in achieving general social consensus, social compromise, on the basis of an established, integral vision of the role of law in the state and civil society, as well as in determining the main goals, methods and mechanisms of legal regulation. One of the obligations of the state in relation to public organizations is the regulatory and legal support of their activities and interaction with public authorities, in particular, the adoption of special laws that determine their legal status.
The paradigm of the development of medical law in Ukraine
Authors: Kapitan Olha
Published: November 2023

The article formulates the paradigm of the development of medical law in Ukraine, and also considers the constituent elements that form it. We believe that the legal relations included in the subject of medical law should be divided into two groups. The first group is represented by those relations that arise during the implementation of medical activities in the process of providing medical assistance. That is, the relationship between the doctor and the patient during the implementation of the first diagnostic, treatment and preventive measures. We believe that they are the basis of relations in the field of medicine. The second group of relations includes relations related to the provision of medical care, in particular, in the field of internal organization of the provision of medical services, mandatory medical insurance, control and supervision in the field of health care, licensing and accreditation of medical organizations, etc. We propose to call such relations organizational and legal in the field of medicine, since they are the basis of the emergence of relations in the process of implementing medical activities regarding the provision of medical assistance and ensure its quality provision. It is proved that medical law is an independent complex branch of law, which was formed on the border of profiling branches of law (which, in our opinion, are civil, administrative law, social security law), the subject of which is social relations that arise in the process of implementing medical activities in relation to provision of medical care and organizational and legal relations in the field of medicine. Their legal regulation is based on the combined (imperative-dispositive method). Thus, awareness of the independent sectoral affiliation of medical law will contribute to its further development, improvement of legal regulation of individual sectoral institutes, introduction of new mechanisms of protection and protection of the rights and interests of subjects in the field of health care.
Microcosmos in natural and legal education: metapedagogical technologies
Authors: Turchyniak Yaroslav
Published: November 2023

The scientific article discloses certain methodological aspects of the metaphysical pedagogy of natural and legal education of the microcosm. In particular, relevant pedagogical technologies of legal education, training and development of the microcosm in the micro-legal field, which is part of the macro-legal field, were investigated. It is outlined that the primary source and starting point of all processes that take place in the universe (macrocosm) is man, that is, the microcosm. The legal order in the universe depends on how intelligent, educated, and erudite a person is. That is why the process of research and development of meta-pedagogical technologies of education of the microcosm in the macro-legal field is becoming increasingly important, because it is aimed at achieving the common good. It has been established that man and freedom are inseparable concepts, because without freedom, conscious, volitional human behavior is impossible. The sense of freedom developed in a person is the key to building a prosperous society, because external freedom is the basis for building a legal system. It is noted that the main task of legal education of a person at an early age is to develop in him clear ideas about good and evil, by which he will be guided in the future as criteria for lawful and law-abiding behavior in society. Personal education should be carefully aimed at a person's awareness of the limits of his freedom and their correlation with the limits of the freedoms of other citizens, because without knowing himself and without understanding his own nature, a person cannot build a healthy society, which is the foundation of a legal state.
Aggression as a determining factor of illegal human behavior
Authors: Chornopyska Victoriya
Published: November 2023

The article examines the essence of the nature of the phenomenon of aggression and characterizes it as a determining factor of illegal human behavior. Various definitions of the concept of aggression as one of the internal deep-psychological determinants of behavior are considered. It is substantiated that aggression, as a predetermined and socially determined behavior, is inextricably linked with the satisfaction of the basic life needs of an individual. It was established that social, personal and psychological factors play a decisive role in the aggressive behavior of an individual, but not each of them separately or their complex - they act in the context of a complete personality and are in direct connection with a specific life situation. Based on the analysis of scientific theories of aggressive behavior, it can be argued that aggression is the basis of behavioral disorders, including its illegal manifestations. Theoretical and legal aspects of the analysis of aggression point to the need to study the legal and socio-cultural discourse regarding the understanding of this phenomenon. Carrying out such an analysis definitely requires adherence to the principles of methodological pluralism, which reveals the contradictory nature of human aggression. This diversity made it possible to analyze that legal, social, cultural factors, as well as biological ones, are responsible for anthropological aggression. Such consideration reveals the essence of aggression as a phenomenon determined by various factors of human existence in the world. It was found that these factors impose responsibility both on the individual and on the legal and socio-cultural discourse of the society, which through civil processes and positive law «suppresses» and «cultivates» aggressive behavior and aggressive expression of will.
The norms of the Aarhus convention in terms of combining the right to a healthy environment and the duty to protect it
Authors: Tarnavska Mariana
Published: November 2023

By ratifying the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention) Ukraine has committed itself to a change of established practices regarding the provision of environmental information and the right of the public to appeal to the court with claims for environmental protection. The implementation of the norms of this Convention has become quite problematic, not least due to the insufficient level of environmental awareness of Ukrainian society. However, positive changes in this area are still taking place, not least due to the active work of various public environmental organizations. It seems that the scientific study of the norms of the Aarhus Convention will also to some extent contribute to the progress of our state and society in the field of environmental protection. We consider it necessary to enshrine the "automatic" recognition of legal interest (i.e. the right to sue in matters relating to environmental protection) for any non-governmental environmental organization registered and operating in accordance with Ukrainian law. This will meet the requirements of Part 4 of Art. 3 of the Aarhus Convention, according to which our state ensures "proper recognition of associations, organizations or groups that contribute to the protection of the environment, and provides them with appropriate support and ensures compliance of its national legal system with this obligation" Among the trends that can be considered extremely positive is the recent legal conclusion of the Supreme Court in the case of banning the dolphinarium. In this case, the Supreme Court stressed that "the right to protection of the violated constitutional right to a safe environment belongs to everyone and can be exercised both personally and with the participation of a public representative". Given the binding nature of the Supreme Court's legal conclusions, we hope that this case will be a significant milestone in bringing domestic legislation and the practice of its application to the requirements of the Aarhus Convention.

Authors: Ostapenko Leonid , Shandruk Anastasiia
Published: November 2023

In connection with the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, martial law was introduced throughout the territory of our country. Russian aggression not only complicated political, economic and other processes within our country, but also caused many changes in many spheres of social life, the activity of the Bar of Ukraine was no exception, which is an independent self-governing institution that provides protection, representation and the provision of legal assistance on a professional basis. Today's realities prevent lawyers from effectively and properly performing their professional duties to provide legal aid to the country's population. An important aspect of the research is the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine and international legal acts regarding the procedure for the activities of the bar under martial law. Also, in today's conditions, there has been an increase in requests for legal assistance for vulnerable sections of the population who have suffered losses as a result of the war. The peculiarities of the implementation of the institute of legal aid in modern military conditions become a significant factor in increasing the effectiveness of the legal mechanism as a whole, therefore, the correct application of measures to study changes in the activity of such an institute in real-time is a rather important and necessary task of legal practice and science. Before us, there is a need to study and research the activities of the legal profession under new circumstances in the conditions of war, when the population of Ukraine, and especially internally displaced persons, who massively need the provision of high-quality legal assistance from individuals and legal entities who can provide it based on legislation.
Historical and legal analysis of the criminal and legal approach to domestic violence
Authors: Baran Anastasiia
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of domestic violence at different times and in different countries, as a result of which it can be stated that regardless of the development of society, its evolution, the problems of domestic violence have always existed. It has been found that the roots of domestic violence in history are deep, come from ancient times and are determined by the peculiarities of national values, culture, traditions and, of course, religion of different peoples and states. Today, domestic violence is one of the most acute problems of society, which is quite widespread in the whole world and during the period of quarantine restrictions, it is gaining larger and larger scales. Modern society considers domestic violence as a type of criminal offense, but in most cases in Ukraine, domestic violence remains a family secret, because victims of such violence are ashamed to admit it and report it to law enforcement authorities. Realization of personal human rights, guaranteeing the right to life and health, to free personal development is one of the main tasks of the legal social state, which Ukraine is declared to be. Ensuring these rights is directly related to combating violent acts and, in particular, domestic violence. The first attempts to regulate family relations at the legislative level, as evidenced by historical monuments, were made as early as the 18th century BC, during the reign of Hammurabi, king of Babylon. In the laws of King Hammurabi, a lot of attention was paid to family relations - both property and non-property, as well as the protection of some rights of children. Thus, the analysis of individual provisions of these laws makes it possible to assert that they protected the interests of the family and established equal rights of spouses regarding property and dignified conditions of family life, as well as provided for clearly defined grounds for divorce, both on the part of the man and the woman. At the same time, the laws of King Hammurabi also provided for the possibility of placing a woman or child in debt bondage for a certain period in case of inability to repay the debt. Gender-based violence has deep historical roots both in Ukraine and abroad . It takes its origin from ancient times, since mankind began to exist on Earth. It is worth noting that domestic violence is an urgent problem at the current stage of development , both for the person against whom it is committed, as well as for the families where it is committed and, of course, for our society in general, because domestic violence is one of the most common forms of human rights violations in the world.

Authors: Yosypov Alla , Zhiravetskyi Andriy
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes international and national legislation in the field of prevention and counteraction of gender-based violence, sexual and domestic violence. It has been established that the Istanbul Convention is the main source that contains the most comprehensive list of measures aimed at protecting persons affected by gender-based violence, as well as providing them with appropriate services. International documents have a clear emphasis on two types of violence - domestic violence and crimes in the name of so-called "honor" - the victims of which are mainly women, who, accordingly, suffer disproportionately compared to men. It was concluded that during the years 2018–2021, in Ukraine as a whole, the legislative framework in the field of prevention and counteraction of domestic violence and gender-based violence and the provision of medical, social, psychological, and legal assistance and services to the victims has been sufficiently developed, which includes about thirty normative legal acts and continues to develop.
Features of crime prevention programs in the USA
Authors: Koval Maria
Published: November 2023

It was found out that today in all developed countries of the world, in particular in the USA, large-scale work on preventive activities is carried out at the state level. The authorized bodies develop perspective programs and create specialized units that implement these projects in practice. World practice on crime prevention is implemented through practical application after being established in the relevant regulatory and legal acts. It was emphasized that in Ukraine, representatives of all types of law enforcement activities develop certain methods and measures to combat crime at the level of their own competence. Of course, there are national and regional programs, but specific bodies and their divisions have considerable freedom of action regarding the direction of professional implementation. This approach has positive points and some caveats. Guided by national programs, representatives of a specific law enforcement branch can determine on the ground the main "risk zones" and the contingent of citizens with whom it is expedient to work more intensively. The point of concern is that all services and units need to act in a coordinated manner so that preventive work is carried out in a planned manner and covers all areas of the population without gaps and duplication of measures. It is noted that the introduction of grant programs is a powerful factor for the full implementation of preventive measures to prevent crime. Each grant program provides for a specific direction of implementation of measures that will ensure work with the target audience based on a certain set of methods. Programs for work with minors are, as a rule, educational, those that cover the population in general - legal education, work with the elderly is aimed at familiarization with social guarantees and opportunities, in particular, with regard to inheritance law, lifetime maintenance contracts, etc. Attention is focused on the importance of conducting preventive work with persons released from prisons in the context of their resocialization. Such persons need psychological and material support in order not to commit crimes due to the rejection of them by society, because many of them claim that it is easier for them to be in places of deprivation of liberty than in a prejudiced environment, when it is difficult to get a job, to restore lost social connections ties, etc.

This article highlights the relevance of researching and addressing the challenges and opportunities in ensuring this right in Ukraine. It examines the country's political, social, and legal transformations, conflicts, and aspirations for European integration. The article explores Ukraine's legal framework, measures taken, and progress made in ensuring the right to protection, including the independence of the judiciary, access to justice, legal aid programs, and prevention of arbitrary detention or treatment. However, challenges such as corruption, delays in court proceedings, limited access to justice, conflict-affected areas, and societal attitudes persist. Addressing these challenges requires ongoing efforts, including judicial reforms, resource allocation, public awareness campaigns, conflict resolution, and human rights education. This research contributes to the broader discussions on human rights and the rule of law in transitional and post-conflict societies and informs strategies for promoting the right to protection worldwide. The article emphasizes the significance of the research topic by examining Ukraine's political, social, and legal transformations in recent years. These transformations have presented challenges related to the rule of law, corruption, and human rights protection. By focusing on the right to protection, researchers can assess the progress made, identify gaps and shortcomings, and provide insights into areas that require attention and improvement. This evaluation serves as a tool to measure the effectiveness of legal reforms, policy initiatives, and institutional changes undertaken in Ukraine to ensure the protection of individuals' rights. The relevance of this research topic is further underscored by Ukraine's ongoing conflicts and security concerns. The war and annexation of Ukrainian territories have resulted in human rights violations, displacement, and the need for accountability and justice. By examining the right to protection, researchers can explore the impact of these conflicts on individuals' rights, assess the measures taken to address the resulting challenges, and evaluate the extent to which the right to protection is upheld in Ukraine.

Authors: Soroka Svitlana , Heneralova Anastasiia
Published: November 2023

The history of the adoption of anti-corruption legislation regarding the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine as the main means of combating corruption is considered. It was found that the history of the emergence of anti-corruption bodies began after the Revolution of Dignity, when Ukrainian society initiated a series of changes that had a fundamental impact on their creation. Also, the impetus for the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine was the demands of the international world community and, in particular, Ukraine's obligations to the EU. The anti-corruption bodies, which are the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, are analyzed - this is a central body of the executive power with a special status, which ensures the formation and implementation of the state anti-corruption policy; The National Council on Anti-corruption Policy is a consultative and advisory body under the President of Ukraine, which provides recommendations on directions for the development of Ukraine's anti-corruption policy; The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is a central body of the executive power with a special status, which is entrusted with the prevention, detection, termination, investigation and disclosure of corruption and other criminal offenses assigned to its jurisdiction, as well as the prevention of new ones; The specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office is an independent structural unit, which is formed in the Office of the Prosecutor General, carries out procedural management and supports the state prosecution in the High Anti-Corruption Court in proceedings under the jurisdiction of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine; The National Agency of Ukraine for Identification, Search and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes is a central executive body with a special status, authorized to form and implement state policy in the field of identification and search of assets that can be seized in criminal proceedings. as well as management of assets seized in criminal proceedings; The higher anti-corruption court is the highest specialized court in the judicial system of Ukraine, it hears proceedings on corruption crimes investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, makes decisions as a court of first instance and appellate instance.

This paper aims to answer the call for studies on smart transformation in small and rural municipalities. It focuses on the ‘smart territory’ concept, which includes all the features of the smart city but considers a larger and less delimited urban area, as well as the intricacy of effects among towns and cities. To address such a space, the authors conducted an in-depth analysis of the Province of Jaén in Spain through a content analysis of interviews with representatives from local associations of citizens. The results confirmed that a participatory approach supports the territory management thanks to the government-to-citizens interactions that allow getting direct information: The citizens’ voice is about perspectives and opinions related to the status of different neighborhoods, towns, or villages, as well as the city, and real opportunities to shape a smart territory as theorized. The study’s contribution stems mostly from the category of actors involved, as the critical issues, as well as the opportunities in local development, are usually investigated by involving either local administrations or politicians and citizens. Listening to citizens’ voices also addresses the intricacies of a territory overcoming the limits of an approach based on a single town or city. Furthermore, detecting problems and opportunities in an urban context in this way can help in planning local smart development.

Published: November 2023

The article evaluates the influence of the tax progressivity of the personal income tax on tax revenue in the Czech Republic. The first part of the study deals with the analysis of tax progressivity. In the next part, the indicator of tax progressivity is used as a variable of the regression model examining its effect on tax revenue. The analysis is carried out for the period 1993-2020. For part of the period, the nominal tax rate was progressive, for part of the period, on the contrary, it was linear. This approach to solving the research topic is thus unique and creates added value to the text. This is due to the length of the examined period, the alternative approach to measuring tax progressivity, and the way the tax base from dependent activity was constructed in the Czech Republic for part of the period.

REVISITING ASIAN VALUES IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN’S CYBERDEMOCRACY DISCOURSE
Authors: Juned Mansur
Published: November 2023

The question of democracy and cyberdemocracy within the expanding population of internet users in Southeast Asia is a prevalent and debatable concern in the region. The phenomenon is perceived as sign of better democratization while also concerned for its political destabilization effects. Recent instances of cyber sovereignty, cybersecurity, and cyberdemocracy in contrasting practical applications indicate the imperative need for an alternate paradigm to comprehend the underlying issue comprehensively. This study employs a regionalism framework to comprehensively understand the issue by investigating overarching indicators of cyberdemocracy and cases of cyberdemocracy in Southeast Asian countries through case study in qualitative method framework. this article uses library research and limited content analysis of academic literature, regional agreements, and material from news media as data sources. Limited content analysis and data triangulation are used to ensure data validity and to acknowledge the data sources’ bias before the findings are analyzed and concluded. The results indicate that Asian values significantly influence the configuration of cyber sovereignty, which integrates the Chinese concept of regulated cyber sovereignty with the Western notion of freedom in the digital realm, resulting in a cyberdemocracy driven by state governments in the region. The research findings also indicate that this state is influenced by preexisting Asian values and the region’s prevalent challenge of digital transformation.

Authors: Leal Mariane Goretti de Sá Bezerra , Silva Júnior Jeová Torres
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The aim of this article is to improve the model for evaluating the social utility of Brazilian Community Development Banks (CDB), based on the perceptions of managers and users-clients-beneficiaries.
 
Theoretical Framework: The CDBs are solidarity finance initiatives, inserted in the social and solidarity economy in Brazil, whose purposes are carried out based on their social utility in terms of the results achieved with their model of action for the human, political, economic and social development of the territories.
 
Method: This is an exploratory and descriptive research using a qualitative approach. Data was collected through a documentary survey, field observation and semi-structured interviews at the CDB Banco dos Cocais dos based on the categories of social utility (socio-environmental, socio-political, socio-cultural, socio-economic and socio-institutional). The data was analyzed using content analysis..
 
Results and Conclusions: Of the 35 subcategories of social utility analyzed, 29 were covered by CDB Banco dos Cocais. The socio-economic, socio-cultural, socio-institutional and socio-environmental categories showed the greatest impact on the social utility of Banco dos Cocais, while the socio-political category showed the least impact, signaling the need to strengthen the political empowerment of the population in the territory.
 
Research Implications: This research's theoretical contribution includes the reconfiguration of the DECID matrix for social utility evaluation. From the perspective of practical implications, the study aims to contribute to improving the management and evaluation of the CDBs' actions in their territories.
 
Originality/Value: The research seeks to show that the actions of the CDBs have a strong social utility integrated into the development and strengthening of the territories, which is greater than their solely economic results.

Introduction: Advancements in maternal-fetal medicine have significantly increased the survival rate of newborns with very young gestational ages. However, the reduction in mortality for these patients does not necessarily correlate with a decrease in morbidities and neonatal disabilities due to prematurity, thereby raising numerous ethical issues.
Trauer ist nicht nur Trauer, und Trauma ist nicht nur Trauma – zum Umgang mit ‚gemischten Gefühlen‘
Authors: Reichel René , Gahleitner Silke Brigitta

Auch bei normaler Trauer können zeitweise Symptome auf treten, die als sehr belastend wahrgenommen werden. Dies ist jedoch häufig eine kurzfristige Erscheinung. Trauer und Trauma sind also nicht zwangsläufig miteinander verknüpft, bilden jedoch eine beachtliche Schnittmenge. Häufig geht es dabei um die Gleichzeitigkeit mehrerer – auch sich widersprechender – Gefühle. In der Psychotherapie jedoch wird vorwiegend auf einzelne Emotionen Bezug genommen. Auch das Phänomen Trauer wird relativ eng umrissen. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags stehen daher die Fragen: Was bedeutet es, mit wechselhaften Gefühlsmischungen zu tun haben? Welche Schlussfolgerungen kann man für professionelles Handeln in der Begleitung und Verarbeitung von Verlusterfahrungen daraus ableiten? Und wie unterstützt uns der personzentrierte Ansatz dabei?
Traumasensible Begleitung rund um die Diagnose Krebs
Authors: Teichmann-Wirth Beatrix
Published: November 2023

Nach der Beschreibung von spezifischen Facetten einer personzentrierten Beziehung in der psychoonkologischen Begleitung werden die Symptome des Schocks, die mit einer Krebsdiagnose zumeist verbunden sind und oftmals denen einer akuten traumatischen Belastungsreaktion ähneln, sowie deren neurophysiologischer Hintergrund beschrieben. Es wird auf die Traumaspezifika und das Traumatisierungspotenzial einer Krebsdiagnose eingegangen. Es werden Elemente einer traumasensiblen Diagnose vorgestellt wie auch traumafokussierte Maßnahmen zur Akuthilfe, die einer potenziellen Traumatisierung entgegenwirken. Ziel des vorliegenden Artikels ist es, mithilfe von traumaspezifischem Wissen einen Verstehenshintergrund für die teilweise heftigen Reaktionen nach einer Krebsdiagnose zu geben. Es werden Möglichkeiten vorgestellt, wie der Ausbildung einer posttraumatischen Belastungsreaktion und dem damit verbundenen erhöhten Rezidivrisiko entgegengewirkt werden kann, damit die Krebsdiagnose als Herausforderung und nicht als Überforderung erlebt werden kann.
Traumasensible Begleitung rund um die Diagnose Krebs

Fast jeder Mensch kennt jemanden, der sich das Leben genommen hat. Je näher die Beziehung erlebt wird, umso tiefer trifft der Verlust. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die Besonderheiten der Trauer von Hinterbliebenen nach Suizid beschrieben. Es wird dargestellt, wie Suizidtrauernde auf den Verlust reagieren und mit welchen spezifischen inhaltlichen Traueraspekten sie konfrontiert sind, z. B. Schuld- und Schamgefühle, Zurückweisung, Stigmatisierung. Dabei wird deutlich, dass sich die Trauerreaktion nach Suizid nicht grundsätzlich von der Trauer nach anderen Todesursachen unterscheidet, dass jedoch Suizidtrauernde mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit erschwerte Trauerprozesse erleben. Weiterhin wird die Trauerreaktion nach Suizid aus personzentrierter Sicht dargestellt, und es wird gezeigt, dass ein personzentriertes Beziehungsangebot, wie es von Rogers beschrieben wurde, in der Trauerbegleitung von besonderem Wert und von Bedeutung ist.

Hypopituitarism is a condition defined by adenohypophysis hormones production/action deficiency. It is a challenging diagnosis and it has high mortality rate. The present work shows a case report of a two and a half-year-old female child, weight: 9,05 kg (z-score: -2,97); hight: 80 cm (z-score: -3,07); IMC: 14,14 (z-escore: -1,27) who lives in Federal District - Brazil, with weight-stature deficit and neuropsychomotor developments delay. Association with laboratorial and image exams indicated hypopituitarism. It is up to doctors, pediatricians in special, to be aware of this singular diagnosis.
Phonological Differences Across Varieties of Latin American Spanish
Authors: Jajo-Yacoub Kathryn , Ramirez Mariana
Published: November 2023

Latin America is a diverse linguistic landscape, evident in the extensive phonological variations within its dominant language, Spanish. This study explores the phonological diversity across Latin American Spanish dialects, including processes such as lateralization and weakening of the /ɾ/ and /l/ phonemes, elisions and reductions of the /s/ consonant, and changes in nasal sounds (/n/, /m/, and /ɲ/) within specific linguistic contexts. Understanding these linguistic differences fosters a fresh perspective on Latin Americans from diverse backgrounds. The study considers demographic and socioeconomic factors that shape these variations and their connection to shared historical and cultural aspects. Information from online corpora and previous studies on Latin American Spanish phonology identifies repetitive phonological processes, comparing them across dialects to determine commonalities and differences. Understanding these phonological processes is critical for dispelling stigmas and contributing to bilingual education, mainly in regions where Spanish is learned as a second language. Educators exposed to the diversity of Latin American Spanish can create inclusive learning environments that accommodate students from various backgrounds and dialects.

The article solves the actual scientific and technical task of reducing the energy intensity of pasteurization of milk in the POU5 apparatus by means of research and development of an automated system for controlling the pasteurization temperature regime. A study of the features of the device's functioning, setting the parameters of the control process was carried out; the improvement of the mathematical model and the algorithm for regulating milk pasteurization parameters was carried out; an automated system for controlling the temperature of milk pasteurization in the POU5 installation was created. The synthesis of a fuzzy regulator of milk pasteurization temperature was carried out. Constructed response surface of milk temperature changes depending on the consumption of milk for pasteurization and the temperature of the hot water of the heat exchange r. The application of the fuzzy logic apparatus for building an adaptive system makes it possible to create adaptive systems with optimal control for the purpose of approximating the output variable of the fuzzy controller.A structural scheme of the milk pasteurizer was created, as well as effective methods of temperature control and para-metric schemes of sections (recovery, pasteurization and cooling of the plate milk pasteurizer) were developed, which allow improving the accuracy of technological process control.As a result of conducting theoretical research, a dynamic characteristic of the pasteurization section was obtained ac-cording to the channel «hot water consumption - temperature of pasteurized milk». The specified model will allow to develop temperature control algorithms to increase pasteurizer productivity
