Cognitive, Behavioural and Physical Impact of Food Insecurity on Children
Authors: satheesh rishika
Published: November 2024

Food insecurity impacts millions of children worldwide, specifically 2.5 million children in the UK, lack consistent access to nutritious food. This paper investigates the detrimental effects of food insecurity on early childhood development, focusing on physical, cognitive and behavioural development. The critical years of life, first 1000 days are important for child’s brain and body development, therefore nutritional deficiencies can lead to stunted growth, weakened immunity and cognitive impairment such as poor memory due to low iron. Furthermore, food insecurity is associated with behavioural changes in children such as externalizing behaviours like aggression and internalizing behaviours like anxiety. This paper also highlights the need for thorough strategies such as government policies, community level initiatives and educational programs for parents to address and increase awareness about food insecurity. By incorporating these interventions that improve food accessibility, we can support developmental requirements of at-risk children. Further research is suggested to develop targeted solutions, to avoid lasting impacts on health and development in children. Keywords: Food insecurity, Nutritional Deficiency, Cognitive impairment, Child health, Parental Education.

bone edema or bone edema is an uncommon pathology in podiatric practice. However, there are some cases we can detect within it. This bone alteration results from trauma, degenerative lesions, or metabolic processes, with the first being the most common cause. It is characterized by acute pain in the heel area, which gradually becomes more generalized, as well as redness and swelling of the area. In the initial stages, the use of NSAIDs or analgesics is recommended, and in more advanced stages, drainage of the area. This study is aa prospective observational study analyzing 20 subjects with calcaneal bone edema. Various surveys such as AOFAS, SF-36, and VAS are conducted to fully analyze the condition and its evolution after 3 months and 6 months post-treatment. Following the intervention, there is a notable improvement in the patients' quality of life, as well as a significant reduction in pain. In conclusions calcaneal bone edema is an underdiagnosed pathology mainly due to its lack of recognition and low prevalence. It is essential to know the differential diagnosis with other heel pains to comprehensively address this condition.
Intestinal Obstruction Secondary to Pseudomyxoma Peritonei: A Case Report
Authors: Petracca Gianni
Published: November 2024

Introduction
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) is a rare neoplastic syndrome characterized by disseminated cancerous mucinous lesions and/or mucinous ascites in the intraperitoneal area, peritoneal surface and omentum, principally related to appendiceal neoplasm. Patients are usually asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic, complaining nonspecific symptoms, including abdominal pain and distension, anorexia and nausea. PMP slow and uninterrupted growth leads to significant abdominal distension and complications such as intestinal obstruction and dyspnea. Preoperative diagnosis is based on ultrasonography and computed tomography; nonetheless, explorative laparotomy and histopathological exam provide the ultimate diagnosis. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) associated with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is considered a potentially curative treatment in selected patients.

Case presentation
We present an unusual case of a male patient, aged 58 years-old, hospitalized in the Surgery Department of “Jazzolino” Hospital of Vibo Valentia (Italy) for intestinal obstruction secondary to intraperitoneal dissemination of PMP. The patient, who did not present common risk factors for abdominal district tumors, had been complaining of dyspespisa and important abdominal distension for some months, until he arrived at the emergency room with widespread abdominal pain, closed hive, batracian abdomen and recurrence of a previous umbilical hernia. His blood test resulted normal; CEA = 10,2 ng/dL (range 0,00 to 5,10); Ca 19.9 within limits. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scans suggested PMP on an appendicular base. The patient underwent explorative laparotomy with findings of ascites, abundant gelatinous material in the subhepatic site and in the Douglas fissure, disintegration of the epiplons, covered by the same gelatinous material, and of the wall of the ileal loops, incorporated and with a gelatinous-like consistency. Samples of the ascitic effusion and gelatinous material were taken for cytological exam, while biopsies of the omentum were sent for histological exam, which confirmed the suspected diagnosis. Once stabilised, the patient was referred to a specialised centre for further treatment.

Conclusions
PMP is rare and difficult to detect. Imaging guides preoperative diagnosis, although the final diagnosis is reached through explorative laparotomy and histopathology exam.

Complete CRS associated with HIPEC is considered to be the most suitable approach in selected patients. As an advanced disease and/or inadequate treatment lead to poor prognosis, patients diagnosed with PMP should be referred to specialised centres for further care.

Published: November 2024

This article discusses the dynamics of women's social movements in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini. This article seeks to show that the Islamic Revolution in Iran led to the enactment of regulations that are considered to restrict women's movement and rights. The existence of these regulations is considered to be the main cause of the arrest that led to the death of Mahsa Amini, so that the wave of protests from Iranian women's social movements increased after the incident. This research uses the feminism theory approach as the basis of its analysis, where feminism is considered very relevant to the problem. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study, where researchers collect sources of information from books, scientific articles, and news from the mainstream media. The results show that the hijab policy and surveillance by the moral police imposed in Iran have not been well-received by Iranian women over the years. Many social movement actions as a form of disappointment of Iranian women against their country that does not provide freedom and welfare, while also demanding reform with the fulfillment of women's rights there.
Artikel ini membahas mengenai dinamika gerakan sosial perempuan di Iran pasca meninggalnya Mahsa Amini. Artikel ini berupaya untuk menunjukkan bahwa Revolusi Islam di Iran berujung pada diberlakukannya peraturan yang dianggap membatasi pergerakan dan hak-hak perempuan. Adanya peraturan tersebut dianggap menjadi penyebab utama terjadinya penangkapan yang berujung pada meninggalnya Mahsa Amini, sehingga gelombang protes dari gerakan sosial perempuan Iran meningkat pasca kejadian tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan teori feminisme sebagai landasan analisisnya, dimana feminisme dinilai sangat relevan dengan permasalahan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan studi kepustakaan, yang mana peneliti mengumpulkan sumber informasi dari buku, artikel ilmiah, dan berita dari media arus utama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan hijab dan pengawasan oleh polisi moral yang diberlakukan di Iran tidak respon baik oleh para perempuan-perempuan Iran selama bertahun-tahun.

Subduction Style at Different Stages of Geological History of the Earth: Results of Numerical Petrological-Thermomechanical 2D Modeling
Authors: Zakharov V. S. , Perchuk A. L. , Gerya T. V. , Eremin M. D.
Published: November 2024

In this article we examine the effects of impact of slab rocks eclogitization on the subduction regime under the continent. Eclogitization of rocks in high-pressure metamorphic complexes occurs only in the areas of penetration of hydrous fluid. In the absence of hydrous fluid, the kinetic delay of eclogitization preserves low-density rocks under P‒T conditions of eclogite metamorphism, delaying the weighting of a slab and reducing the efficiency of the slab-pull mechanism which contributes to the steep subduction into the deep mantle. The results of numerical petrological-thermomechanical 2D modeling of subduction under the continent in a wide range of eclogitization parameters of oceanic crust rocks (discrete eclogitization) are presented. The effects of a lower kinetic delay of eclogitization in the water-bearing basalt layer, compared to the drier underlying gabbro layer, have been tested. Based on results of 112 numerical experiments with 7 variants of eclogitization ranges (in range 400–650°C for basalt and 400–1000°C for gabbro) at different potential mantle temperatures (ΔT = 0–250°C, above modern value), and steep, flat and transitional subduction regimes were identified. The mode of steep subduction occurs under modern conditions (ΔT = 0°C) with all ranges of eclogitization. Here it is characterised by an increase in the angle of subduction of the slab as the plate descends, and above the boundary of the mantle transition zone there is a flattening or and then tucking of the slab. Subduction is accompanied by the formation of felsic and mafic volcanics and their plutonic analogues. At elevated temperatures of the mantle (ΔT≥150°С) and discrete eclogitization over a wide range, the flat subduction regime is observed with periodic detachments of its steeper frontal eclogitized part. The flat subduction regime is accompanied by significant serpentinization of the mantle wedge and episodic, scarce magmatism (from mafic to felsic), which occurs at a significant distance (≥500 km) from the trench. During the transition regime, which is also realised in models with elevated mantle temperatures, there is a characteristic change occurs from flat to steep subduction, resulting in a stepped shape of the slab. As the kinetic shift of eclogitisation increases, flat subduction develops. An increase in the thickness of the continental lithosphere from 80 km to 150 km contributes to the implementation of steep subduction, while the influence of the convergence rate (5–10 cm/year) is ambiguous.
Discrete eclogitization of thickened oceanic crust and depletion of lithospheric mantle in the oceanic plate are the main drivers of flat subduction. In modern conditions, their influence becomes insignificant due to the decrease in the thickness of the oceanic crust and the degree of depletion of the oceanic mantle lithosphere. As a result, the less frequent flat movement of slabs is determined by other factors.
Modeling of Stress-Strain State and Coseismic Effects of Epicentral Zone of Tangshan Earthquake (Southeastern China)
Authors: Morozov V. N. , Manevich A. I. , Losev I. V.
Published: November 2024

The paper presents the results of numerical modeling and analysis of stress-strain state of the epicentral zone of the strong earthquake in the north-east of China, which occurred on 27.07.1976 with Ms=7.8. Many present-day works continue to discuss the reasons for such a strong earthquake, which occurred in tectonic conditions ‒ far from interplate boundaries, inside the Tangshan tectonic block bounded by tectonic faults. However, published new geodynamic, seismological, geophysical and geodetic data provide confidence in the determining role of fault tectonics in this region.
Based on the analysis of the results of modeling of the stress-strain state preceding the Tangshan earthquake with coseismic geophysical and geodetic data, we propose a model of earthquake rupture formation. The results of comparison of independent estimates of shear stresses with the results of modeling in the sources of strong earthquakes suggest that the areas of tectonic stress concentration are localized in the interfault rupture of the Tangshan fault, reaching maximum values at the termination of fault ruptures σi ≈ 50 MPa и τxy ≈ 20 MPa. The hypocenter of the main seismic event (taking into account the error of coordinate determination) is located in the region of stress intensity 35‒50 MPa and the ratio of main stresses σxx/σyy ≈ 8–10. It should be expected that these zones are the starting site of rupture, the extent of which depends on the amount of accumulated elastic potential energy of tectonic stresses in the adjacent region. For the Tangshan earthquake, this area corresponds to a high intensity of stresses exceeding 30 MPa in a band with a length more than 30 km and a width reaching 4.5 km.
Tectonic Evolution of Tuvinian Trough (Northern Part of Central Asian Orogenic Belt): Synthesis of Geological Data and Results of Feldspar Ar‒Ar Dating
Authors: Vetrov E. V. , Vetrova N. I. , Biryukova T. A. , Agatova A. R. , Gavryushkina O. A. , Bulgakova D. D.
Published: November 2024

The Tuvinian rift trough, located in the northern part of the Central Asian orogenic belt (CAOB), was formed in the Early Devonian on late Proterozoic (?)‒Early Paleozoic terranes as a result of the activity of the Altai-Sayan mantle plume. The sedimentary record from the middle Paleozoic to the middle Mesozoic, preserved in the Tuvinian trough, and the middle Paleozoic igneous complexes confined to the structures of the trough, reflect the stages of evolution of the Earth’s crust in the Tuva segment, that necessary for understanding the history of the geological development of the CAOB as a whole. Dating of accessory and rock-forming minerals from igneous rocks using low-temperature geochronology methods allows us to obtain additional information about post-magmatic processes and thereby update the model of tectonic evolution of the region.
In this study, we have reconstructed the stages of tectonic development of the Tuvinian trough in the northern part of the CAOB based on the analysis of geological data and new Ar‒Ar dating data on feldspars from mafic intrusions. As a result of this study, the chronology of the previously known stages of post-magmatic processes manifested in the Tuvinian trough was clarified, and new stages were identified according to the tectonic evolution of the CAOB. Ar‒Ar dating of feldspars carried out on eight samples showed four age groups: (i) Late Devonian, (ii) middle Carboniferous, (iii) early Permian and (iv) Early Jurassic. Late Devonian (~377 and 375 Ma) ages record an impulse of mafic magmatism, widely manifested in the northern segments of the CAOB (~380‒365 Ma). Middle Carboniferous (~320 and 319 Ma) dates may be associated with the closure of the Ob-Zaisan branch of the Paleo-Asian ocean as a result of the Kazakhstan-Siberian collision. Early Permian (~290–279 Ma) ages are consistent with the formation of late Carboniferous–Early Permian (~305–275 Ma) large igneous provinces in connection with rifting processes in the northern segments of the CAOB. Finally, a single Early Jurassic (~188 Ma) age marks tectonic reorganization of the CAOB in Late Triassic‒Early Jurassic in response to (i) closure of the Paleotethys ocean with subsequent collision of the Cimmerian blocks and the southern margin of the Eurasian continent and/or (ii) activity of the Mongolian mantle plume.

European Electronic Newsletter, Finance and Society etc.) was conducted. This analysis helped identify a range of relevant research issues and theoretical problems, to trace their evolution. As a result, the author concludes that the study of the sociological problems of finance is a key to understand the structure of modern society, for it has transformative influence on society at all its levels – from state and organization to individual.
Labor biographies of russian workers: from search to survival
Authors: Andreeva Yulija V. , Lukyanova Evgeniya L.
Published: November 2024

The article aims to study labor biography of industrial workers. It is based on the materials of in-depth interviews conducted in the Ulyanovsk region in 2020–2021. The authors propose a new approach to the study of labor biographies, taking the concept of work capacity. They distinguish three main stages: labor search, labor balance and labor survival. This division is based on the logic of workers building their own professional path, therefore, considering stages do not have certain age or time limits. The authors give main characteristic of the worker’s behavior for each of this stage. The purpose of labor search is to choose such type of employment or working conditions that would suit the physical capabilities, personality and salary expectations of the worker, as well as their ability to learn new professional skills. The stage of labor balance is characterized by achieving a balance between different types of employment that allows workers to cope with high physical exertion and provide the desired standard of living. The stage of labor survival is aimed at preserving the workplace, adapting the labor process to the current state of health and reduced physical capabilities. The authors emphasize that the work capacity (in the form of health, professional experience and knowledge) is not the resources that are valued by both employers and workers. As a consequence, the stages of labor search and balance can quite quickly be replaced by the stage of labor survival.

This development was facilitated by ‘discovery’ of sociology by the post-Soviet society and the close (though not always equal) interaction of domestic sociologists with Western sociological schools. Additionally, the participation of Western sociologists of Armenian nationality contributed to the formation of Armenian statehood as well as to growth of sociology as an academic discipline in Armenia. Under the influence of democratization processes, political sociology focused primarily on the transitional Armenian society, addressing the formation of power institutions and the utilization of political technologies. Regional dynamics, traditional and new foreign policy processes in Armenia, threats, and risks influenced the study of foreign policy guidelines within Armenian society. This also led to the formation and development of sociology of conflict and military sociology, closely linked to political sociology and sometimes inseparable. The effective managing of the Armenian state and society directly correlates with the integration of political sociology into political practices, and with demand for sociological knowledge, especially sociological forecasts, among decision-makers.
Diagnosing the synergically complex risks through the content of the cultural genotype
Authors: Kravchenko Sergei A.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the process of the development and complication of risks, starting with the transition from the traditional society to the “risk society” and the “world risk society” and further to the modern society, the essential features of which, according to the anthroposociocultural approach of N. I. Lapin, are “synergistic complexities”. They represent realities as the result of a nonlinear process of their formation in the context of the past, present and future. Their immanent essence is manifested in the self-development, self-organization and hybridization of nature, society, technology, which is expressed in the emergent effects of instability, inequality, and dynamic chaos that cover all the spheres of human life. As a result, risks become qualitatively more complex – they ultimately acquire the synergistically complex nature. However, at all stages of their development, the content of risks is determined not only by global trends of the transformation of the universe, but also by local national factors and the genotype of country’s culture. Seven types of synergistic complexities established in the new Russia and the synergistically complex risks that correspond to them are considered and analyzed. To diagnose these types of risks, the author’s nonlinear humanistic sociological imagination is proposed.
Media theory and the future of the church
Authors: Berezina Natalya V.
Published: November 2024

The religious aspects of the theory of G. M. McLuhan, the founder of media theory, are considered in application to the current situation in the Russian Orthodox Church. McLuhan’s ideas about the Christian Church, the reasons for its flourishing in the first centuries and weakening in the 15th century (the era of the Reformation, schisms and of Protestantism) are still little known to researchers. According to McLuhan, in modern times, Christianity is repeating the mistakes of the 16th century, which is why Christianity risks weakening and splitting again. McLuhan admits that Eastern Orthodoxy is more in line with the spirit of modernity, for Russia is one of the countries not advanced in written culture as far as the West. McLuhan aims his criticism at the Catholic Church of the Second Vatican Council times, but we clearly see that the behavior of Russian Orthodoxy today might serve as an equally vivid illustration of ignoring the problems of changing eras. Analysis of the construction of the basis of the concept, derived by the author from speeches, interviews and open letters of M. McLuhan, research on the quantity and quality of Orthodox Christians in post-Soviet Russia, taken from open sources, conveys information about the policy of the Orthodox Church in modern Russia, as well as important conclusions of the author.
Social capital: trust and public participation (case study of Tyumen Region)
Authors: Agafonova Darya Yu. , Romashkina Gulnara F.
Published: November 2024

The study presents findings of an investigation into the growing potential factors of public activity based on regional sociological surveys. It demonstrates dynamics and structures of institutional and generalized trust in the Tyumen region from 2013 to 2023. Comparative interregional assessments of institutional and generalized trust, as well as the potential for growth of public activity across seven Russian regions in 2023, are offered, too. The analysis addresses contradictions in the interrelationships among key social capital resources. A typology of public participation – categorized into “active,” “political participants,” “public activists,” and “passives” – was developed using the example of the Tyumen region residents and subsequently used to evaluate its connection to social capital. The study illustrates increasing public activity levels, primarily linked to generalized trust and communicative resources. Barriers to the growth of engagement in socially beneficial activities are identified.
The phenomenon of resentment: historical allusion or harsh reality?
Authors: Roy Oleg M.
Published: November 2024

The article examines evolution and content of the resentment phenomenon. According to the theory of F. Nietzsche, resentment is the feeling experienced by a person towards his enemy or towards the one whom he considers guilty of his failures, which causes his aggression towards another. L. Fishman traces various historical forms of resentment, drawing attention to the fact that the main subject of resentment actions is often not the plebeian, but bearers of the values of the ruling class. Under these conditions, resentment becomes the most important instrument of political struggle, the subject of appeal from one social force to another. Thus, the author studied the phenomenon of resentment from another perspective than the founders of this concept, F. Nietzsche and M. Scheler. Нe treats it as a type of false consciousness, and the concept of resentment in its original form as its criticism from the right. In the modern world, the phenomenon of resentment is embodied in a wide variety of forms – from the precariat to confrontation between states. And as long as there is a division of society into the strong and the weak in the world, social inequality, double standards, resentment will find favorable soil.
Аnтhropologist Overturn and Challenges for Ethno-Sociology (Invitation to Discussion)
Authors: Popkov Yuri V.
Published: November 2024

The paper analyzes the set of issues related to current problems and eventual prospects of ethno-sociology as a meaningful academic component and feasible disciplinary bgranch in studying ethnic phenomenon. First, contradictory “state of affairs” is diagnosed in this sphere due to the ethnologic (anthropologic) turn. Among real threats for ethnology understood in a wide meaning of the term, including the ethno-sociology, we find the denial in the post-Soviet period of the importance of domestic research experience; the active imposition of Western standards in ethnological research; the dominance and absolutization of anthropologism (anthropocentrism) and constructivism; the absence of ethnosociology in the current Russian educational standard. The passing away of influential founders of ethnosociology, who played an important role in preserving its scientific traditions, as well as the lacking clarity of the subject definition of ethnosociology, are also important. The author’s vision of the essence of the highlighted issues is presented.
Morphological Variation in Antlered Sculpins of the Genus Enophrys Swainson, 1839 (Cottidae)
Authors: Poezzhalova-Chegodaeva E. A.
Published: November 2024

A comparative morphological analysis has been conducted for antlered sculpins of the genus Enophrys from three remote regions: the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Bering Sea. Variations in their body color pattern and also meristic and measurable characters have been analyzed. As the analysis has shown, antlered sculpins from the Sea of Japan differ significantly from the two other samples in the body color, some head proportions, and size and location of the fins D1, D2, A, V, and P. Differences on the subspecies level (CD 1.28) have been found for five of the characters studied and a hiatus (differences on the species level) for one character (depth of D1). The data obtained confirm the previously published assumption that the fish from the Sea of Japan possibly belong to the species E. namiyei.
