СОЦІАЛЬНО-ПРАВОВИЙ ЗМІСТ СОЦІАЛЬНИХ РИЗИКІВ
Authors: Анпілогова Б.Ж.
Published: June 2024

Статтю присвячено з'ясування сучасного соціально-правового змісту соціальних ризиків, як специфічного виду ризиків загалом. У науковій розвідці автором уточнюється поняття ризику, яке може включати небажане діяння чи подію, її причину, ймовірність чи статистичну цінність, а також рішення, яке приймається в умовах критичної невизначеності майбутнього. Встановлюється, що ризик є елементом невизначеності, що виникає в ситуаціях, пов'язаних з прийняттям рішень та діями (або бездіяльністю) осіб, що наражаються на ризик або наражають на ризик інших, а також з подіями, що створюють ризиковані умови соціального буття. У статті виділено основні ознаки соціальних ризиків, серед яких: соціальний ризик – це переважно поліфакторна ситуація, яка вважається «ризиковою ситуацією», хоча можлива і їх монофакторність; соціальний ризик є соціальним явищем, що може мати правові наслідки; соціальні ризики детермінуються різними чинниками, які впливають стан соціальної безпеки людини, населення і держави загалом, здійснюючи комплексний вплив на механізми забезпечення соціальної безпеки; соціальні ризики є стійким системним елементом соціально правової дійсності; соціальні ризики глибоко вкорінені у структурах суспільства та його функціонуванні; соціальні ризики характеризуються своєю переважною непереборністю. Висновки статті узагальнюють результати дослідження, наголошуючи на важливості розуміння соціальних ризиків для забезпечення соціальної безпеки та правової захищеності населення та держави в цілому.
Ключові слова: невизначеність, правові наслідки, ризикова ситуація, соціальна безпека, соціальне право, соціальні ризики, соціальні явища.

Despite the growing amount of information available, biodiversity is still under threat. Wildlife plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance, and it is of logical and strategic importance to promote the further development of fauna recording and monitoring processes, emphasizing the need to strengthen the relationship between humans and nature. The aim was to record the species of medium and large mammals using camera traps. The study was conducted in the EcoCerrado Reserve in the municipality of Água Fria de Goiás, Brazil, between December 2020 and December 2022, using two camera traps in three different phytophysiognomies. 17 mammal species were recorded in 149 camera trap records, including species in the threatened category, such as Myrmecophaga tridactyla, Tapirus terrestrials, Chrysocyon brachyurus, Lycalopex vetulus, Panthera onca and Alouatta caraya. The mammal fauna observed in the study shows that this ecosystem can support populations of native species even in a modified landscape. This finding strengthens the basis for future initiatives aimed at environmental education, ecotourism, and more comprehensive legal protection for this region and other remnants of native vegetation in the Cerrado.

Published: June 2024

Background/Aims: Bariatric intervention has been reported to be an effective way to improve metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in obese individuals. The current systemic review aimed to assess the changes in MRI-determined hepatic proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) after bariatric surgery or intragastric balloon/gastric banding in MASLD patients with obesity.Methods: We searched various databases including PubMed, OVID Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. Primary outcomes were the changes in intrahepatic fat on MRI-PDFF and histologic features of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).Results: Thirty studies with a total of 3,134 patients were selected for meta-analysis. Bariatric intervention significantly reduced BMI (ratio of means, 0.79) and showed 72% reduction of intrahepatic fat on MRI-PDFF at 6 months after bariatric intervention (ratio of means, 0.28). Eight studies revealed that NAS was reduced by 60% at 3–6 months compared to baseline, 40% at 12–24 months, and 50% at 36–60 months. Nineteen studies revealed that the proportion of patients with steatosis decreased by 44% at 3–6 months, 37% at 12–24 months, and 29% at 36–60 months; lobular inflammation by 36% at 12–24 months and 51% at 36–60 months; ballooning degeneration by 38% at 12–24 months; significant fibrosis (≥F2) by 18% at 12–24 months and by 17% at 36–60 months after intervention.Conclusions: Bariatric intervention significantly improved MRI-PDFF and histologic features of MASH in patients with obesity. Bariatric intervention might be the effective alternative treatment option for patients with MASLD who do not respond to lifestyle modification or medical treatment.
The University of Chicago Committee on Communication, 1942, 1948–1959: The Life and Death of an Interdisciplinary Field
Authors: Pooley Jefferson
Published: June 2024

The main claim of this paper is that the University of Chicago Committee on Communication (1942, 1948–1959) was an expression, in fractal form, of communication research in the middle-third of the twentieth century. The Committee registered the birth and death of an interdisciplinary formation—one that was unstable and tethered to war. In a meaningful sense, the Chicago committee system’s interstitial character was purpose-built for communication research. It is an ephemeral form, suited for circumstantial groupings that will, with time, whither away.
Contextual barriers to artistic practices among older people: How do older artists perceive them?
Authors: Chacur Karima , Villar Feliciano , Serrat Rodrigo
Published: June 2024

Research on older people’s artistic participation has mainly focused on its benefits. Fewer studies have addressed the antecedents of older people’s artistic participation, especially the barriers to artistic practices, and particularly those related with contextual factors. In this study, we examined from a socioecological perspective which contextual barriers older artists perceive when they are carrying out their artistic practices. We conducted semi-structured individual interviews with 30 older visual artists and craftspeople. We found six themes relating to contextual barriers to the artistic practice: changes in cultural context; value of arts and crafts; dissemination of artistic work; financial difficulties; discrimination against women; and the covid-19 pandemic. Our study expands on previous research on antecedents of artistic participation among older people, and specifically on barriers. Finally, our study suggests the need to decrease these barriers by implementing programmes aimed at older artists maintaining their artistic practices for as long as possible.
An integral approach to the study of problems of philosophical anthropology
Authors:   Baku State University, Medzhidova Nargiz
Published: June 2024

The article examines an integral approach to the study of issues in philosophical anthropology. Research pertaining to realms such as philosophical anthropology necessitates a comprehensive approach, or, in contemporary terms, an integral approach. The requirement for employing this approach arises from the realities faced by humanity in the modern stage of its development. The fundamental principle of the integral approach is its comprehensiveness, which entails the understanding of not only oneself but also others, humanity, and nature. There are several schools conducting integral studies, yet these investigations, including in the philosophical understanding of humanity, are not fully substantiated. Consequently, there arises a need for a more detailed examination of the integral approach in the philosophical understanding of humanity. Philosophical anthropology, representing conceptual knowledge about the human, with the ability to synthesize various scientific knowledge, brings together different spheres of science that study the human and society. As a result of this integration, there is an exchange between philosophical anthropology and specific sciences, resulting in the enrichment of theoretical and specific scientific knowledge about the human. The conducted research has established the necessity of applying an integral approach to address contemporary human and societal issues, particularly in philosophical anthropology.
Taqiyyah in Islam according to Turkish researcher Abdulbaqi Golpinarli
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of ANAS, Mustafayev Radif
Published: June 2024

The concept of taqiyyah (خَّ١ِمَّزٌا (is often associated with Shiah. It is even claimed that Shiah has been fighting politically for a long time using this concept. This paper, based on 20th century Turkish thinker Abdulbaqi Golpinarli‟s findings, shows that taqiyyah emerged in the early days of Islamic history. Thus, it is undeniable that those events that resulted in taqiyyah and are recorded in the Quran occurred during the Prophet‟s lifetime. Even Golpinarli considers the order to the Prophet saying “turn away from disbelievers and hypocrite” as a kind of taqiyyah. According to him, although in the early days of Islam the Prophet ordered companions to endure the violence of disbelievers and asked weak companions to engage in taqiyyah, as Islam became stronger, it responded to their attacks with jihad. Moreover, the researcher, justifying that taqiyyah concept was available in the Quran and in the hadiths narrated from the Prophet Muhammad, explained the attitude towards it in Twelver Imam Shiah. It becomes clear that taqiyyah notion appeared as a means to protect the life, property and religious fellows of believers from real danger. According to Golpinarli, being a shield against danger, taqiyyah ought to be considered a permission bestowed upon believers by God. However, the conditions for using taqiyyah are essential and could change depending on the situation. Especially, it should be noted that taqiyyah is one of the means of protecting the right and achieving justice, not bowing down to oppression and oppressor, silence, and hypocrisy.
About the methods of creating questionnaires and conducting surveys in sociology
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of ANAS, Aliyev Zahid
Published: June 2024

When there is a demand among the population, the methods of conducting social surveys, such as drawing up questionnaires and conducting surveys, have been used for many decades. At the same time, there are certain limitations in the application of these methods in sociological science. In recent decades, the emergence of social networks, activities of young people and middle-aged people in society, mainly from these platforms, have not been completely destroyed by questionnaires and surveys. On the contrary, the same format is used in questionnaire surveys conducted in some media channels. Although questionnaires and surveys used in sociological research are an important instrument of understanding, perception and understanding of social processes occurring in society, the results obtained cannot be considered completely accurate, error-free and objective. But the information received as a source is very valuable and relevant from the point of view of understanding events and relationships in society.
M.F.Akhundzadeh in the studies of Sheydabek Mammadov: critical analysis in the context of the Soviet era
Authors:   ANAS, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Rashidov Zaur
Published: June 2024

During the Soviet era, social sciences, especially philosophy, which was one of the most ideologically oriented fields, tried to follow the course of the ruling ideology. Ideologization has significantly undermined the objectivity of ongoing research in philosophy and the history of philosophy. In this sense, the studies of the Soviet historian of philosophy of the ХХ century, Sheydabek Mammadov, devoted to the analysis of the sociophilosophical views of Mirza Fatali Akhundzadeh, is distinguished by its ideological character. Sheydabek Mammadov is trying to show Akhundzadeh the way he wants to see him. Instead of studying the legacy of Akhundzadeh, his research is more focused on modernization and presentation of the great enlightener in the ideological format of the Soviet era. Of course, the ideologically veiled research of Sheydabek Mammadov make exaggerations and distortions inevitable when analyzing Akhundzadeh‟s sociophilosophical views. In all the studies of Sheydabek Mammadov, Akhundzadeh is presented as a militant materialist and a consistent atheist, in the spirit of the Soviet era. Although Sheydabek Mammadov connects Akhundzadeh‟s enlightenment with the French enlightenment, but he does not explain in what issues and how these relations manifest themselves. He is content to mention the role of the French enlighteners in the formation of Akhundzadeh as a “materialist” and an “atheist”. He also does not talk about the subsequent development of the Enlightenment and its criticism in the XX century. However, in the modern era, such moments leave research conducted in Soviet times about representatives of Azerbaijani culture out of relevance. In this sense, constructive criticism of Soviet-era studies, which are an integral part of our philosophical heritage, is important. In the article, when studying the works of Sheydabek Mammadov about Akhundzadeh, this method was applied. Constructive criticism gives new relevance to the research conducted in various fields of philosophy in the Soviet era.
A comprehensive approach for osteoporosis detection through chest CT analysis and bone turnover markers: harnessing radiomics and deep learning techniques
Authors: Fang Kaibin , Zheng Xiaoling , Lin Xiaocong , Dai Zhangsheng
Published: June 2024

Purpose

The main objective of this study is to assess the possibility of using radiomics, deep learning, and transfer learning methods for the analysis of chest CT scans. An additional aim is to combine these techniques with bone turnover markers to identify and screen for osteoporosis in patients.

Method

A total of 488 patients who had undergone chest CT and bone turnover marker testing, and had known bone mineral density, were included in this study. ITK-SNAP software was used to delineate regions of interest, while radiomics features were extracted using Python. Multiple 2D and 3D deep learning models were trained to identify these regions of interest. The effectiveness of these techniques in screening for osteoporosis in patients was compared.

Result

Clinical models based on gender, age, and β-cross achieved an accuracy of 0.698 and an AUC of 0.665. Radiomics models, which utilized 14 selected radiomics features, achieved a maximum accuracy of 0.750 and an AUC of 0.739. The test group yielded promising results: the 2D Deep Learning model achieved an accuracy of 0.812 and an AUC of 0.855, while the 3D Deep Learning model performed even better with an accuracy of 0.854 and an AUC of 0.906. Similarly, the 2D Transfer Learning model achieved an accuracy of 0.854 and an AUC of 0.880, whereas the 3D Transfer Learning model exhibited an accuracy of 0.740 and an AUC of 0.737. Overall, the application of 3D deep learning and 2D transfer learning techniques on chest CT scans showed excellent screening performance in the context of osteoporosis.

Conclusion

Bone turnover markers may not be necessary for osteoporosis screening, as 3D deep learning and 2D transfer learning techniques utilizing chest CT scans proved to be equally effective alternatives.

Objective

While bone metastases (BMs) are present in a minority of thyroid cancer (TC) patients at the time of initial diagnosis, there has been growing concern regarding their impact on life expectancy and quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in these patients and provide therapeutic recommendations based on the findings.

Methods

In this retrospective cohort study, we included 82 patients diagnosed as TC with BM received treatment in our department from 2011.03 to 2023.03 (average follow-up duration was 3.02 years). The retrospective study was performed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the OS and CSS, while the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were employed to determine prognostic factors associated with OS and CSS. Also, 287 patients’ data were collected from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015 to confirm the prognostic factors identified in the retrospective study.

Results

The average survival time of the 82 patients was estimated to be 5.818 years (with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 4.767 to 6.868 years). The cox regression analysis showed that older age (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.045, 95% CI: 1.001-1.092, P = 0.047), larger tumor size (>5cm, HR = 11.087, 95% CI: 3.728 - 32.976, P = 0.000), and the presence of extraosseous metastasis (HR = 3.247, 95% CI: 1.376 - 7.665, P = 0.007) were statistically significant factors associated with worse CSS. The results were furtherly confirmed in 287 SEER-sourced patients (age (HR = 1.020, 95% CI: 1.006 - 1.034, P = 0.006), tumor size (HR = 2.917, 95% CI: 2.044 - 4.161, P = 0.000), and extraosseous metastasis (HR = 3.726, 95% CI: 2.571 - 5.398, P = 0.000)).

Conclusions

These results offer a population-based assessment of prognostic factors for patients with TC and BMs, revealing that age, primary tumor size (>5cm), and presence of extraosseous metastases are independent prognostic factors that correlate with worse survival. Accordingly, treatment for such patients ought to concentrate on systemic integrative therapy instead of surgical intervention.

Purpose

The ratio of monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MHR) has surfaced as a novel biomarker indicative of inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between MHR and the risk of kidney stones.

Methods

This study analyzed data from individuals aged 20-79 who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2018. The MHR was assessed as the exposure variable, while a self-reported history of kidney stones was used as the outcome variable. The independent relationship between MHR and the risk of kidney stones was thoroughly evaluated.

Results

This study included 28,878 participants, and as the quartile range of the MHR increased, the proportion of kidney stones also rose progressively (7.20% to 8.89% to 10.88% to 12.05%, P<0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, MHR was independently associated with an increased risk of kidney stones (OR=1.31, 95%CI=1.11-1.54, P=0.001), also independent of some common inflammatory indices. Subgroup analysis suggested that the relationship between MHR and kidney stones was more pronounced in female and individuals aged 20-49. Further restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship between MHR and the risk of kidney stones.

Conclusion

Our results indicate a positive correlation between MHR and an increased risk of kidney stones in US adults, underscoring the need for further large-scale prospective cohort studies to validate these findings.
How to promote the application of green pesticides by farmers? Evolutionary game analysis based on “government–farmer–consumer”
Authors: Wang Xiaofeng , Cui Xiaojun , Sun Xiaolong
Published: June 2024

Green pesticide use, as a key means to reduce pesticide use, plays a crucial role in promoting environmental and food safety. However, the effectiveness of green pesticide use policies in China falls short of expectations. Existing research mainly examines the policy promotion issues of green pesticide use from a static and single-agent perspective. However, green pesticide use behavior is a dynamic process influenced by multiple factors, including the government, farmers, and consumers. This paper builds an evolutionary tripartite game model of the government, farmers, and consumers from the perspective of dynamic strategy evolution and explores the evolutionary conditions that affect the stability of the tripartite game strategy during green pesticide application. The results show that 1) through different partnership models, the government, farmers, and consumers can evolve to a stable state. 2) Keeping the government’s regulatory intensity in the market for green agricultural products within a reasonable range will help farmers apply green pesticides. 3) Users’ preference for high-quality vegetables will increase the market selling price of green products. 4) Maintaining the government’s ecological subsidies for green pesticides will help stimulate farmers’ enthusiasm for using green pesticides. Therefore, the government should appropriately strengthen ecological subsidies and market supervision, guide consumers’ green consumption behavior, and encourage farmers to use green pesticides.

Published: June 2024

In this study, we leverage sentiment analysis to investigate public perception towards environmental issues as conveyed through global news articles and its potential implications on the transition to a low-carbon economy. Utilizing an extensive corpus of news articles sourced globally, we deploy Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to quantify sentiment in these articles, capturing public sentiment’s dynamism and complexity towards various environmental issues. Our methodology involves sentiment scoring of key aspects like “climate change”, “climate policy”, “renewable energy”, “solar energy”, “wind energy”, and “environmental impact” which facilitated a detailed sentiment trend analysis over time. We also incorporated a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model to conduct topic modelling, identifying five major topics recurring in the discourse. Our correlation analysis uncovers interesting relationships such as a positive correlation between sentiment scores of “low carbon” and “electric cars”, and a negative correlation between “greenhouse gas emissions” and “electric cars". The findings indicate that public sentiment towards environmental issues is not only multifaceted but also evolving, with significant implications for policy-making and stakeholder engagement in the low-carbon transition. These results exemplify sentiment analysis as a powerful tool in understanding public perception, providing actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in environmental issues and the low-carbon economy transition.
Dinoflagellate cysts as proxies of environmental, ocean and climate changes in the Atlantic realm during the quaternary
Authors: Marret Fabienne , de Vernal Anne
Published: June 2024

Over the last four decades, organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts have shown high potential as tracers of past sea-surface conditions during the Quaternary. These microfossils relate to the pelagic productivity of both phototrophic and heterotrophic protist organisms and are recovered in high numbers in almost all marine environment settings from the nearshore and estuarine systems to the distal continental margin. In polar environments, where other conventional proxies are rare or absent, dinoflagellate cysts showed a relatively high diversity of species and a close relationship with sea-ice cover duration, winter and summer temperature, and salinity, enabling quantitative reconstructions of several oceanic variables over time. From the temperate to the tropical latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean, their modern distribution highlights a response to primary productivity and seasonal contrasts in surface temperature. They also have proven that they could be used as tracers of eutrophication in stratified systems and can also highlight human impact on their distribution. In this paper, we present an overview of dinoflagellate cysts as ecological tracers in recent and past sediments of the Atlantic Ocean, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. We provide examples of their use as proxies in paleoclimatic-palaeoceanographic studies at glacial to interglacial time scales, with emphasis on the last ice age to recent (last 25 kyr), the northern North Atlantic and western-eastern tropic North Atlantic. We also discuss their potential as tracers of anthropogenic stress in coastal environments.

Published: June 2024

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disorder characterized by the degeneration of cartilage and inflammation, affecting millions worldwide. The disease’s complex pathogenesis involves various cell types, such as chondrocytes, synovial cells, osteoblasts, and immune cells, contributing to the intricate interplay of factors leading to tissue degradation and pain. RNA interference (RNAi) therapy, particularly through the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA), emerges as a promising avenue for OA treatment due to its capacity for specific gene silencing. siRNA molecules can modulate post-transcriptional gene expression, targeting key pathways involved in cellular proliferation, apoptosis, senescence, autophagy, biomolecule secretion, inflammation, and bone remodeling. This review delves into the mechanisms by which siRNA targets various cell populations within the OA milieu, offering a comprehensive overview of the potential therapeutic benefits and challenges in clinical application. By summarizing the current advancements in siRNA delivery systems and therapeutic targets, we provide a solid theoretical foundation for the future development of novel siRNA-based strategies for OA diagnosis and treatment, paving the way for innovative and more effective approaches to managing this debilitating disease.
Monomeric C-reactive protein is associated with severity and prognosis of decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis

Published: June 2024

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to infection and during chronic inflammatory disorders. Systemic inflammation is a major driver of cirrhosis progression from the compensated to the decompensated stage. Previous studies have shown that pentameric CRP (pCRP) to be a weak predictor of disease severity and prognosis in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis, with it being only helpful for identifying patients with a higher short-term risk of death under certain conditions. Accumulating evidence indicates that pCRP dissociates to and acts primarily as the monomeric conformation (mCRP) at inflammatory loci, suggesting that mCRP may be a potentially superior disease marker with higher specificity and relevance to pathogenesis. However, it is unknown whether mCRP and anti-mCRP autoantibodies are associated with disease severity, or progression in decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis. In this study, we evaluated the serum levels of mCRP and anti-mCRP autoantibodies in patients with decompensated cirrhosis of hepatitis B and their association with disease severity and theoretical prognosis. The results showed that patients with high mCRP and anti-mCRP autoantibody levels had more severe liver damage and that coagulation function was worse in patients with high anti-mCRP autoantibodies. Analysis of the correlation between pCRP, mCRP and anti-mCRP autoantibody levels with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI), and Child–Turcotte–Pugh (CTP) prognostic scores showed that mCRP was the most strongly correlated with MELD score, followed by anti-mCRP autoantibodies; conversely, pCRP was not significantly correlated with prognostic score. Therefore, mCRP and anti-mCRP autoantibodies may be more advantageous clinical indicators than pCRP for evaluating the pathological state of decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis.
