Synergistic impact of psoriasis and hypertension on all-cause mortality risk: A prospective cohort study
Authors: Zhao Honglei , Wu Ji , Wu Qianqian
Published: July 2024

Background

The linkage between psoriasis and hypertension has been established through observational studies. Despite this, a comprehensive assessment of the combined effects of psoriasis and hypertension on all-cause mortality is lacking. The principal aim of the present study is to elucidate the synergistic impact of psoriasis and hypertension on mortality within a representative cohort of adults residing in the United States.

Methods

The analysis was conducted on comprehensive datasets derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study spanning two distinct periods: 2003–2006 and 2009–2014. The determination of psoriasis status relied on self-reported questionnaire data, whereas hypertension was characterized by parameters including systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, self-reported physician diagnosis, or the use of antihypertensive medication. The assessment of the interplay between psoriasis and hypertension employed multivariable logistic regression analyses. Continuous monitoring of participants’ vital status was conducted until December 31, 2019. A four-level variable amalgamating information on psoriasis and hypertension was established, and the evaluation of survival probability utilized the Kaplan-Meier curve alongside Cox regression analysis. Hazard ratios (HRs) and their associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed to scrutinize the correlation between psoriasis/hypertension and all-cause mortality.

Results

In total, this study included 19,799 participants, among whom 554 had psoriasis and 7,692 had hypertension. The findings from the logistic regression analyses indicated a heightened risk of hypertension among individuals with psoriasis in comparison to those devoid of psoriasis. Throughout a median follow-up spanning 105 months, 1,845 participants experienced all-cause death. In comparison to individuals devoid of both hypertension and psoriasis, those with psoriasis alone exhibited an all-cause mortality HR of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.35–1.53), individuals with hypertension alone showed an HR of 1.78 (95% CI: 1.55–2.04), and those with both psoriasis and hypertension had an HR of 2.33 (95% CI: 1.60–3.40). In the course of a stratified analysis differentiating between the presence and absence of psoriasis, it was noted that hypertension correlated with an elevated risk of all-cause mortality in individuals lacking psoriasis (HR 1.77, 95% CI: 1.54–2.04). Notably, this association was further accentuated among individuals with psoriasis, revealing an increased HR of 3.23 (95% CI: 1.47–7.13).

Conclusions

The outcomes of our investigation demonstrated a noteworthy and positive association between psoriasis, hypertension, and all-cause mortality. These findings indicate that individuals who have both psoriasis and hypertension face an increased likelihood of mortality.
Unveiling the urban sports landscape: Profiling participants, motives, and policy implications
Authors: Huyghe Jef , D’Hoore Nathan , Thibaut Erik , Scheerder Jeroen
Published: July 2024

Background

The lack of knowledge regarding urban sports poses pressing challenges for governments and sports organisations to deal with in light of its increasing popularity. To develop targeted policy strategies, more insight is needed into the features of urban sports. Therefore, this research aims to establish a profile of urban sports participants in terms of characteristics, behaviours in sports participation, and motives for sports participation.

Methods

Data was gathered during a large-scale research project on sports participation in the Belgian city of Bruges. A total of 3,951 residents between 6 and 75 years old participated in an online survey. Descriptive statistics and binomial logistic regression analyses were used to examine the differences between urban and traditional sports participants.

Results

Based on a binomial regression model, the sports level and location significantly predict urban sports participation. The physical motives for sports participation are significantly less important for urban sports participants compared to the group of traditional sports participants. Urban sports participants value the fun and relaxation motives for sports participation significantly more than traditional sports participants.

Conclusions

This paper aimed to establish a comprehensive profile of urban sports participants and juxtaposed it to that of traditional sports participants. While existing literature often portrays urban sports participants as a relatively homogeneous group, our findings reveal a surprising heterogeneity. Consequently, given its increasing popularity, urban sports present a valuable avenue for governments and sports organisations to engage with a diverse range of sports participants.
Keel bone fractures affect laying hens’ mobility, but no evidence for reciprocal effects
Authors: Montalcini Camille M. , Toscano Michael J. , Asher Lucy , Petelle Matthew B.
Published: July 2024

Keel bone fractures (KBF) are prevalent in commercial laying hens and are considered one of the greatest welfare concerns in the egg-production industry. While clear associations exist between KBF and animal mobility, suggesting that KBF impair mobility, the effect of mobility on KBF remains unclear. We combined data from three studies that assessed keel bone fracture severity through radiographs and monitored hens’ transitions between different zones of a multi-tier aviary system (the three tiers, a littered floor, and a winter garden) the week prior to radiograph. For each hen, we extracted two daily movement behaviours: the vertical distance travelled and the mean number of zones crossed within one transition; and two daily space-use behaviours: the time spent in the top tier and the unevenness of time spent across zones. We used hierarchical Bayesian continuous time dynamic modelling to estimate how a change in a behaviour predicted a later change in keel bone fracture severity, and vice versa. Increased fracture severity did not predict later changes in space-use behaviours, but it did predict changes in movement behaviours. Specifically, increased fracture severity led to decreased vertical travelled distance and a tendency to cross more zones within one transition, suggesting impaired mobility in hens with increased fracture severity. In contrast, we found no evidence that movement or space-use behaviours predict later change in fracture severity, challenging previous literature suggesting that vertical locomotion through jumping and flying may exacerbate keel bone fractures in complex three-dimensional systems due to increased risk of collisions. However, similar efforts accounting for the location of fractures on the keel could unveil the potential influence of movement and space-use behaviours in the formation and change (healing or worsening) of KBF and increase our ability to mitigate their effects.
Psychopathy, pain, and pain empathy: A psychophysiological study
Authors: Alshukri Sophie , Lyons Minna , Blinkhorn Victoria , Muñoz Luna , Fallon Nicholas
Published: July 2024

The present study examined whether people higher in psychopathy experienced less self-reported and psychophysiological nociceptive pressure than people lower in psychopathy. We also examined whether psychopathy affects empathy for others’ pain via self-reported and psychophysiological measures. Three hundred and sixty-nine students (18–78 years; M = 26, SD = 9.34) were screened for psychopathic traits using the Youth Psychopathy Inventory (YPI). Stratified sampling was used to recruit 49 adults residing in the highest (n = 23) and lowest (n = 26) 20% of the psychopathy spectrum. Using skin conductance response (SCR) and self-report responses, participants responded to individually adjusted intensities of pneumatic pressure and others’ pain images and completed self-reported psychopathy and empathy measures (Triarchic Psychopathy Measure, TriPm; Interpersonal Reactivity Index, IRI). People higher in psychopathy self-reported feeling less nociceptive pressure compared to people lower in psychopathy, yet we did not find any differences in SCR to nociceptive pressure. However, when viewing other people in pain, the high psychopathy group displayed lower SCR and lower self-reported empathy compared to those lower in psychopathy. Our results suggest psychopathic traits relate to problems empathising with others’ pain, as well as the perception of nociceptive pressure. We also show support for the theory of dual harm which has been receiving increasing attention. Consequently, psychopathy interventions should focus both on recognising and empathising with the pain of others.
Determinants of fast attack performance on match outcome in the elite women’s ice hockey
Authors: Tian Naiyuan , Xu Gang
Published: July 2024

The primary objective of this study was to discern the determinants affecting the ice hockey game based on the performance of the fast attack between the winning and losing teams. Data from the women’s ice hockey games at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics (n = 28) were used. A total of 2011 fast attacks were recorded, which included winning team 1156 times and losing team 855 times. 29 variables from nine categories were involved and analysed using chi-square tests, univariate tests and binary logistic regression. As a result, that fast attack performance varies between winning and losing teams, Effective Offensive Play. Scoring Analysis of the 2005 World Championships and the 2006 Olympics, INT, DZ, OZ, one-timer, dekes, shooting zone 1, shooting zone 3, shooting zone 4, SOG, SG%, 2nd period, PK, are key variables in distinguishing the winner and loser (P<0.05). The predictive model shows that shooting zone 4 (OR = 0.824), one-timer (OR = 1.255), 2nd period (OR = 1.193), SOG (OR = 1.230), and SG% (OR = 1.170) are determining factors of game outcomes. The current information has important practical applications as it allows coaches and players to improve the tactical strategy and offensive efficiency of the game.

Published: July 2024

Background

Globally, Tuberculosis (TB) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality among infectious disease. TB and Human Immune Virus (HIV) are the two deadly pandemics which interconnected each other tragically, and jeopardize the lives of children; particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this review was aimed to determine the aggregated national pooled incidence of tuberculosis among HIV- infected children and its predictors in Ethiopia.

Methods

An electronic search engine (HINARI, PubMed, Scopus, web of science), Google scholar and free Google databases were searched to find eligible studies. Quality of the studies was checked using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) quality assessment checklists for cohort studies. Heterogeneity between studies was evaluated using Cochrane Q-test and the I2 statistics.

Result

This review revealed that the pooled national incidence of tuberculosis among children with HIV after initiation of ART was 3.63% (95% CI: 2.726–4.532) per 100-person-years observations. Being Anemic, poor and fair ART adherence, advanced WHO clinical staging, missing of cotrimoxazole and isoniazid preventing therapy, low CD4 cell count, and undernutrition were significant predictors of tuberculosis incidence.

Conclusion

The study result indicated that the incidence of TB among HIV- infected children is still high. Therefore, parents/guardians should strictly follow and adjust nutritional status of their children to boost immunity, prevent undernutrition and opportunistic infections. Cotrimoxazole and isoniazid preventive therapy need to continually provide for HIV- infected children for the sake of enhancing CD4/immune cells, reduce viral load, and prevent from advanced disease stages. Furthermore, clinicians and parents strictly follow ART adherence.
Hasty generalizations and generics in medical research: A systematic review
Authors: Peters Uwe , Sherling Henrik Røed , Chin-Yee Benjamin
Published: July 2024

It is unknown to what extent medical researchers generalize study findings beyond their samples when their sample size, sample diversity, or knowledge of conditions that support external validity do not warrant it. It is also unknown to what extent medical researchers describe their results with precise quantifications or unquantified generalizations, i.e., generics, that can obscure variations between individuals. We therefore systematically reviewed all prospective studies (n = 533) published in the top four highest ranking medical journals, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and the British Medical Journal (BMJ), from January 2022 to May 2023. We additionally reviewed all NEJM Journal Watch clinical research summaries (n = 143) published during the same time. Of all research articles reporting prospective studies, 52.5% included generalizations beyond specific national study populations, with the numbers of articles with generics varying significantly between journals (JAMA = 12%; Lancet = 77%) (p < 0.001, V = 0.48). There was no evidence that articles containing broader generalizations or generics were correlated with larger or more nationally diverse samples. Moreover, only 10.2% of articles with generalizations beyond specific national populations reported external validity strengthening factors that could potentially support such extrapolations. There was no evidence that original research articles and NEJM Journal Watch summaries intended for practitioners differed in their use of broad generalizations, including generics. Finally, from the journal with the highest citation impact, articles containing broader conclusions were correlated with more citations. Since there was no evidence that studies with generalizations beyond specific national study populations or with generics were associated with larger, more nationally diverse samples, or with reports of population similarity that may permit extensions of conclusions, our findings suggest that the generalizations in many articles were insufficiently supported. Caution against overly broad generalizations in medical research is warranted.

Authors: Correia Adriana , Nunes Cristina , Marotta Gabriela , Lopes Mariana , Martins Cátia , Hidalgo Victoria , De Jesus Saúl Neves
Published: July 2024

O programa de Formação e Apoio Familiar (FAF) é uma intervenção desenhada com a finalidade de promover a parentalidade positiva e prevenir o maltrato infantil. Este estudo pretende descrever alguns dados preliminares da sua implementação com famílias em risco psicossocial da Ilha da Boavista, Cabo Verde, e analisar se existe ou não uma melhoria nos domínios das competências parentais e da qualidade de vida infantil. O FAF foi dinamizado em 12 sessões grupais, com uma metodologia experiencial e participativa, numa periocidade semanal, durante quatro meses. Participaram 66 pais, maioritariamente mães (85%), com idades entre os 26 e os 56 anos (M = 35.53; DP = 7.27), distribuídos em dois grupos (de intervenção e de controlo). A avaliação foi realizada no pré e pós-teste. O grupo de intervenção melhorou significativamente as suas pontuações após a intervenção na perceção da eficácia, da satisfação parental e na qualidade de vida das crianças, com um tamanho de efeito moderado. O grupo de controlo não apresentou diferenças significativas entre momentos. O FAF é um programa de intervenção para o desenvolvimento da parentalidade positiva, que promove os sentimentos de eficácia parental e a satisfação parental, o que consequentemente se traduz também em melhores resultados para o desenvolvimento e bem-estar infantil nas famílias em risco psicossocial.
Jogos e Brinquedos na Sociedade Medieval Muçulmana da Península Ibérica.

Published: July 2024

Brincar não é exclusivo do ser humano, faz parte da natureza de muitas espécies animais, especialmente durante os primeiros anos de vida. O que é único na nossa espécie é a elaboração e fabrico de jogos e brinquedos e a sua prática regulada.
Alguns dos jogos mais emblemáticos da história, como o xadrez ou damas, chegaram à Europa pela mão dos árabes através da Península Ibérica. A sua prática não se limita a uma determinada área social, de género ou espacial, nem mesmo a uma era, como é inferida das informações extraídas dos espécimes preservados.

Authors: Pacheco Hallana Fernandes de Almeida , Lordelo Lia da Rocha , Zucoloto Patrícia Carla Silva do Vale
Published: July 2024

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o contexto de emergência dos processos imaginativos e criadores de crianças com deficiência na Sala de Recursos Multifuncional (SRM) através da perspectiva de professoras do Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE), partindo dos pressupostos da teoria histórico-cultural e de sua compreensão acerca do desenvolvimento da pessoa com deficiência. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando o estudo de casos múltiplos como estratégia de investigação. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais com três professoras do AEE em cidades do interior da Bahia, Brasil. A análise dos dados ocorreu através da análise dos núcleos de significação. Os resultados apontaram que as professoras identificam fatores limitadores e potencializadores no trabalho com os processos imaginativos das crianças, a saber: formação docente, recursos materiais, acompanhamento de profissionais da saúde e relações institucionais. Também identificaram os modos de expressão imaginativa das crianças no AEE, prioritariamente através das atividades de desenho e contação de histórias. Por fim, este estudo evidenciou que promover os processos imaginativos das crianças no AEE é também promover suas potencialidades criadoras no contexto educacional. Para tanto, torna-se necessário que as secretarias de educação implementem iniciativas e condutas que auxiliem os professores no alcance deste objetivo

Authors: Cabral Mendes Pedro , Janicas João Paulo
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo tem como finalidade apresentar uma experiência educativa de cunho artístico, dinamizada no âmbito do projeto Soundcheck, envolvendo a participação de 21 alunos do 9º ano de escolaridade. As vivências na escola e na sala de espetáculo nortearam-se de acordo com os seguintes objetivos: (i) identificar os efeitos de uma abordagem criativa e colaborativa nos alunos; (ii) analisar a impacto da experiência performativa nos alunos; e, (iii) na perspetiva do aluno, compreender que influência teve este projeto na conceção que têm de arte. Esta experiência educativa respeitou uma abordagem metodológica de natureza reflexiva e prospetiva, suportando-se numa avaliação da perceção dos alunos sobre o projeto, com recurso à técnica de Focus Groups. Este projeto teve o mérito de potenciar a criatividade e o sentido estético dos alunos e fê-lo de um modo colaborativo e empático. Conseguiu ainda suscitar nos alunos perceções de grande apreço por tudo o que foi conseguido, numa verdadeira comunhão com os responsáveis por esta incursão artística na escola e no teatro. O momento performativo foi igualmente valorizado pelos alunos como algo marcante e único. O Soundcheck permitiu ainda que os alunos (re)descobrissem o rock e o punk enquanto estilo musical e o próprio teatro.
(In)coerências e (Des)articulações nas AE das Diferentes Áreas Disciplinares do 1.º CEB
Authors: Valente Bianor , Leite Teresa
Published: July 2024

O presente trabalho teve como principal objetivo mapear o currículo, procurando analisar a estrutura, as (in)coerências e (des)articulações das Aprendizagens Essenciais (AE) das diferentes áreas disciplinares do 1.º ciclo do Ensino Básico. Para tal, procedeu-se a uma análise comparativa das AE no 1º ciclo do Ensino Básico. Os resultados evidenciam que, apesar de uma harmonização dos documentos, ao nível da estrutura e do design, há diferenças relevantes ao nível da organização e extensão das AE, ao nível da lógica subjacente à elaboração das ações estratégicas de ensino do professor, assim como da articulação entre as aprendizagens essenciais, as ações de ensino e os descritores do perfil do aluno. As diferenças encontradas podem justificar as fragilidades reportadas pelos professores, nos processos de decisão e gestão curricular e parecem ser o reflexo da ausência de entendimentos comuns entre as diversos equipas de autores das AE.
Notación indeterminada, tradición interpretativa y reproductibilidad técnica: hacia una perspectiva crítica para la realización de obras experimentales indeterminadas
Authors: Alvear M. Cristián
Published: July 2024

Este estudio aborda, desde un punto de vista teórico, la interpretación de música experimental indeterminada de origen estadounidense en tanto práctica cuyo desarrollo se ha sustentado en los postulados de la Escuela de Nueva York. En este ámbito, se examinan nociones interpretativas habituales, las cuales, al sostener un modo directo y no mediado para la elaboración de los sonidos de una obra, resultan problemáticas. Para esto, se establece una conexión entre realización y el régimen subjetivo que instaura la reproductibilidad técnica (Benjamin, 2020). El propósito es develar el modo en que los objetos seriales propios de un ámbito determinan el dialecto del intérprete permitiéndole a este conformar versiones que cumplan con las expectativas de dicho ámbito (Mattes, 2015). En este sentido, nociones discursivas y prácticas son examinadas según dos aspectos propios de toda notación: la prescripción y la descripción (Kanno, 2007). En tanto conceptos habilitantes, estos permiten vislumbrar las convenciones que la interpretación, dado el marco en el que se desenvuelve, reproduce. De este modo, este estudio contribuye a sentar las bases para una perspectiva interpretativa consciente de la tradición que la informa, en pos de habilitar la exploración crítica y, además,  ampliar los alcances de una práctica indeterminada.
El videoclip como ventana de lo posible
Authors: Millán Camila
Published: July 2024

En este artículo analizamos, desde una perspectiva feminista, el videoclip y la canción «It's raining men» publicada en 1982 por The weather girls. Esta obra y su devenir como himno disidente funcionan como un hito que permite comprender los modos en los que se relacionan las estéticas y estrategias artísticas con los caminos disruptivos de las canciones, en el marco de la música popular y masiva industrializada. Las repercusiones de este single en las pistas de baile de los principales centros urbanos de Estados Unidos, así como los recorridos que posibilitaron su existencia, resultan un espacio privilegiado para pensar las relaciones entre música, políticas sexuales, cuerpos, performatividad, industria, representaciones visuales, política y disputas públicas. 
 
El trabajo se realizó entendiendo al video musical como una extensión de la canción en el marco de la cultura mediática. Partiendo de la idea de que la música popular masiva engloba una serie de prácticas y operaciones que involucran aspectos técnicos, musicales, tradicionales, vinculados a la industria, los mercados y los modos de producción, circulación, legitimación y valoración de las músicas; y que por tanto, la música popular es social y compleja, analizamos el videoclip a partir de la metodología de Soares, ya que permite reponer nociones vinculadas al montaje como recurso expresivo y político, haciendo posible el abordaje performático, corpóreo y mediático de los sentidos vehiculizados en la música.
Reseña de En el final de aquel verano interminable de Gerardo Gandini (prólogo de Ricardo Piglia - edición de Pablo Fessel y Ezequiel Grimson). Gourmet Musical, 2023
Authors: Domínguez Pesce Agustín
Published: July 2024

Gandini se ha convertido en una figura sin igual en la música de concierto de Argentina. Sin embargo, la interpretación musicológica de su producción, rica en cuanto a las capas de intertextualidad, está en proceso de construcción y se ha expresado en importantes trabajos de Pablo Fessel.
La presente reseña del libro En el final de aquel verano interminable de Gerardo Gandini,  editado por Pablo Fessel y Ezequiel Grimson, procura poner de relieve la relevancia de la publicación para el estudio de la historia cultural así como de la historia de la música contemporánea de Argentina. En la reseña se recorren las diferentes secciones del libro, procurando señalar la riqueza de su contenido y los potenciales destinatarios, tales como intérpretes y directores de la música de Gandini, pero también estudiantes de composición e investigadores interesados en la línea de la propia interpretación.
Se destaca la importancia de la reunión de todos estos documentos en una única compilación. Son documentos que se tornan necesarios para el estudio de la poética compositiva de Gandini, como también para la dimensión de la música como performance. No menos importante son los documentos que aportan información sobre la historia de las instituciones de la música de concierto de Argentina en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El libro permite construir una interpretación de Gandini como figura compleja dentro del entramado de la música contemporánea de Argentina, en particular, de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. La reseña procura mostrar algunas líneas de utilización de estos documentos para su aplicación en la investigación sociológica e historiográfica de la música, considerando como potenciales destinatarios a jóvenes investigadores. La misma concluye convocando la clave autobiográfica del libro, por lo que se anticipan algunas de las ideas con que Ricardo Piglia lo preludia.

STRUCTURAL MODELING OF THE RELATIONSHIPS OF REGIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Authors: Alferova Tatyana ,   Perm National Research University, Tretiakova Elena ,   Perm National Research Polytechnic University
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the establishment of interrelationships between the sustainable devel-opment goals (SDGs) of a region on the basis of structural modelling. The aim of the research is to develop a tool for analysing and systematising complex interactions of re-gional SDGs as a basis for the formation of regional policy in the field of sustainable development. The rele-vance of the topic is conditioned by the fact that quantitative methods used for these purposes are objective, but labour-intensive and, relying only on measurable indicators, can distort the essence of SDGs. Qualitative meth-ods are more nuanced but subjective. Consequently, a tool is needed that combines the strengths of these ap-proaches and compensates for their weaknesses. In our opinion, this tool is structural modelling, an approach that is not yet widely used and therefore requires serious methodological development, which is an important part of this study. Methodological foundations of the study are the following: expert assessments were used to identify the presence and direction of SDG interrelationships; mathematical statistics methods were used to objectify expert opinions by identifying the most significant interrelationships; hierarchical and logical analysis was used to form the structure of interrelationships; matrix positioning method was used to identify the strength of influ-ence and dependence between SDGs. The novelty of the research lies both in the synthesis of these methods and in the resulting structural model of the interrelationship of the regions' SDGs. The practical significance of the author's methodology lies in its ability to translate complex subjective and disparate qualitative views of SDG interactions into a measurable, visual and understandable format for de-cision-makers. The most significant conclusions obtained with the help of the final model of SDGs interaction, which also have scientific novelty, include the establishment of SDG 16, SDG 17 and SDG 4 as “inputs” of the system of in-terrelationships as determinants of sustainable development of the region, and SDG 11 as “output” as its result. This should be taken into account in the development of regional policy in the field of sustainable development.

Since Russia's technological development lags behind leading countries, the need for technologi-cal sovereignty in the face of external challenges, significant differentiation of regions in terms of technological development, and the need to develop new technologies require scientific research of a theoretical, method-ological and applied nature. The authors of the article focused on the role of industrial regions in the develop-ment of the country, analyzed the current state and assessed the level of their technological development. This approach determined the structure and logic of the work. The paper aims to determine the role and place of in-dustrial regions in the technological development of the economy, assessing the current state and directions of their further technological transformation. The study focuses on industrial regions of the Russian Federation. The research methods include thematic review of sources, statistical and structural analysis, integral method for assessing technological development, positioning of industrial regions by level of technological development. The hypothesis was the assumption that industrial regions are drivers of technological development in terms of their role in the development of the Russian economy and the level of technological development in the tradi-tional and high-tech sectors of the regional economy. The results obtained are as follows. The paper shows the contribution of industrial regions to the gross regional product of the Russian Federation, demonstrates the share of industrial regions in the total volume of manufacturing industry and compares the dynamics of the growth rate of the manufacturing industry on average for a group of industrial regions and on average for the Russian Federation. The study presented the methodology and made the assessment of the technological devel-opment of the regions of the Russian Federation (85 subjects), including industrial regions (10 subjects) in rela-tion to the traditional and high-tech sectors of the regional economy. The ranking of industrial regions was car-ried out based on an assessment of technological development. The study also identified the differentiation of regions by technological development and proposed directions for their further technological development.
INDUSTRY SOVEREIGNIZATION POTENTIAL OF MONOSPECIALIZED REGIONS IN CONDITIONS OF INSTABILITY
Authors: Pravdina Natalya ,   South Ural State University
Published: July 2024

In the context of macroeconomic instability, the industrial sector of the Russian Federation is the recipient of numerous threats and restrictions related to the tightening of export-import policy measures by un-friendly countries, forced changes in logistics chains, and general market instability. In these circumstances, en-suring industrial sovereignty becomes one of the important tasks for the economic security system of the Rus-sian Federation, the solution of which is largely related to the industrial policy of industrial single-industry re-gions. The purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of indicators of the potential for the sovereignization of industry in the monospecialized regions of the Russian Federation with a metallurgical profile. Research hy-pothesis states that in conditions of macroeconomic instability, monospecialized regions diverge in the direc-tions of formation and degree of industry sovereignty. The information base of the study was open statistical data on the activities of single-industry regions for 2019-2022; the study employed dynamic, coefficient meth-od and comparison method. The paper concretizes the concept of industrial sovereignty; presents a cumulative model of industry sovereignty, including three components – industrial, technological and digital sovereignty; proposes a methodological approach to assessing the potential of sovereignty using indicators characterizing re-source availability, import substitution processes and the creation of own products and technologies, as well as the results of the functioning of industry in a monospecialized region. Based on the assessment of empirical da-ta, the following groups of regions are identified: regions with high positive dynamics of indicators of strength-ening technological and digital sovereignty with relatively high import dependence (Sverdlovsk and Lipetsk re-gions); regions with high positive dynamics of industrial sovereignty with relatively low technological and digital sovereignty and average import dependence (Vologda and Murmansk regions); regions with medium or low ratings of all types of independence (Krasnoyarsk Territory and Chelyabinsk region). The results of the study make it possible to clarify the directions of industrial policy and a set of selective measures to support in-dustrial regions of metallurgical profile.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY OF REAL OPTIONS AS A TOOL FOR ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF INVESTMENT PROJECT EFFICIENCY
Authors: Baev Leonid ,   South Ural State University, Egorova Olga ,   South Ural State University
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the issues of correct assessment and management of optional invest-ment projects in real assets. The research methodology is based on the principles of rational multicriterial deci-sion-making in conditions of uncertainty, which determines not only risks, but also opportunities to improve the efficiency of projects, through the a priori introduction of options into the projects, allowing the use of probable opportunities. The study analyzes various approaches and methods of assessing the efficiency of investment projects and the value of real options. It shows that there is no possibility in principle to directly use the meth-odology of financial options valuation for the valuation of real options. The binary decision tree approach and ROV-method (real option valuation – method) are used as the basis for the development of the author's method of real option valuation. Despite a rather high flexibility and adaptability of this method, the key task of its practical use is to estimate the probabilities of optimistic and pessimistic trajectories of binary option branch-ing, which, due to the fundamental novelty of most investment projects and the lack of reliable retrospective in-formation, is realizable only with the involvement of relevant and verifiable expert methods. The authors con-sider the proposed method as a modified real option valuation method (MROV – modified real option valua-tion – method). The practical significance of the obtained results lies in improving the correctness of real option valuations and option projects and making effective option management decisions in real investment projects.

The article examines the essence of the imbalance of professional personnel, methods for as-sessing it and modern trends in the use of professional personnel in the regional labor markets of the Russian Federation. When studying existing approaches to the analysis of professional imbalances in the labor market, the authors identified two main directions with differences in subject matter and tools. In the framework of the first approach, which is characteristic mainly of the microeconomic level, professional and qualification imbalance is considered as situations of excess or deficiency, deficiency, obsolescence of professional skills and qualifications, as well as inconsistency of education with the professional duties performed. The second approach, characteristic of the macroeconomic level of analysis, studies the mismatch between the supply and demand of professional labor resources using unemployment indicators broken down by the level of ed-ucation of the unemployed, their age characteristics, and last place of work. On this basis, the authors formed an idea of the essence of the imbalance of demand and supply of professional personnel as a discrep-ancy between the number of employees (demand) and the labor force (supply) with a certain level of profes-sional education (higher, secondary, primary). The magnitude of the mismatch between supply and demand is the unemployment indicator used in this study to assess the static state and dynamic trends in the imbal-ance of professional personnel in the regional labor markets of the Russian Federation. The research hypoth-esis was that regional labor markets may differ significantly from each other in the level and dynamics of professional imbalance, which will require the development of regulatory measures in accordance with the prevailing characteristics. The conclusions obtained as a result of the study are that, in general, the labor market of the Russian Federation is characterized by a growing level of imbalance of professional personnel with a general reduction in unemployment. The paper also proposed theoretical combinations of changes in unemployment levels and imbalance of professional personnel, each of which characterizes a certain state of both the economy as a whole and the labor market.

Foreign policy, demographic and socio-economic challenges contributed to the emergence in the labor market of a situation atypical for the entire post-reform period in the Russian Federation. It is a change from the «buyer’s market» model to the “seller’s market”, where, in conditions of limited supply of labor resources in general and qualified ones in particular, the use of regulatory instruments adapted to the existing conditions is required. The purpose of the paper is to analyze existing instruments of state regulation of the labor market, the possibility of using them to solve problems of personnel vulnerability as a situation of shortage of qualified personnel in the labor market. Using content analysis methods in relation to the re-gional programs “Promotion of Employment”, Federal projects “Personnel for the Digital Economy”, “De-velopment of Human Resources in the IT Industry”, “Providing Medical Organizations of the Healthcare System with Qualified Personnel”, “Personnel for Unmanned Aircraft Systems” the authors of the article assess the adequacy of goals, objectives, measures and indicators of the effectiveness of their implementa-tion of the current situation in the labor market of the Russian Federation and its regions. The study draws conclusions about focusing attention on sectoral personnel problems and personnel training tasks, and iden-tifies the areas of insufficiency through a comparison of indicators for the implementation of program activ-ities in the field of employment promotion with trends emerging in regional labor markets. In this regard, it is necessary to improve institutional regulation such as the development, adjustment and addition of norms, rules and procedures that allow timely and comprehensive provision of sustainable development of the la-bor market, realization of the potential of the economically active population and GDP growth.

In the modern world, innovation activity is considered the key to the economic success of the enterprise and is associated with the prospect of its further development. In this regard, there are more empiri-cal data and studies that examine the barriers and factors influencing the outcome of innovation activity. The latter became the subject of our research, and its initial hypothesis is the existence of a research gap consisting in the under-investigation of external factors of innovation projects success. The main purpose of the study is to analyze and systematize the pool of existing scientific literature in Russian and English languages on the study of barriers and success factors in the implementation of innovative projects of enterprises. The paper analyzes sources for a 20-year period (2004-2023) published in electronic scientific libraries, including 50 (theoretical) Russian-language and 45 (empirical) English-language publications. The main research methods are content analysis, synthesis, and systematization. The main results of the study are as follows. Financing problems are the most common barrier to innovative development for both Russian and foreign companies. Other barriers are different since in Russia the problems of state regulation and internal project management are acute, whereas in foreign countries the main problem is lack of qualified personnel and information about potential markets. The most problematic elements of innovation infrastructure both in Russia and abroad are identified: social, finan-cial and market ones. The success factors highlighted in the literature are more focused on the internal envi-ronment of the firm, including the internal potential of the firm, the quality of management and the ability to cooperate. The key conclusion drawn from the results of the work is to confirm the hypothesis that the impact of the innovative infrastructure and the institutional environment of business on the success of innovative pro-jects is under-researched.

Bu çalışma, lise öğrencilerinde hayatın anlamı, merhamet ve sosyal medya bağımlılığının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın örnekleminde 283 lise öğrencisi yer almıştır. Veriler Hayatın Anlamı ve Amacı Ölçeği, Çocuklar İçin Merhamet Ölçeği ve Ergenler İçin Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda öğrencilerin hayatı anlamlı bulma ve merhamet düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu, sosyal medya bağımlılıklarının ise orta düzeyin altında yer aldığı görülmüştür. Hayatın anlamı ile merhamet arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Hayatın anlamı ile sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasında ise negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ancak merhamet ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca kitap okumaya daha fazla zaman ayıran öğrencilerin hayatın anlamı ve merhamet düzeylerinin daha yüksek, sosyal medya bağımlılıklarının ise daha düşük düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Son olarak, öğrencilerde hayatın anlamı ve merhamet düzeyinin farklılık göstermediği ancak sosyal medya bağımlılığının paralel olarak artış gösterdiği bulunmuştur.
