Published: February 2025

RESUMO Objetivo: Este estudo visa comparar métodos de calibração de pesos na subamostra de Exames Laboratoriais da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2013, buscando avaliar sua representatividade e precisão. Métodos: Duas propostas alternativas de construção de pesos calibrados foram realizadas com base nos métodos de pós-estratificação e raking. Uma comparação entre os pesos fornecidos para a subamostra de Exames Laboratoriais e os dois pesos sugeridos foi realizada por meio de estimativas de parâmetros de interesse utilizando os dados da subamostra da PNS 2013. Além disso, foram utilizadas sete medidas para avaliar o desempenho dos sistemas de pesos propostos. Resultados: Os pesos de pós-estratificação e raking alternativos produziram estimativas generalizáveis para a população-alvo da PNS 2013, enquanto os pesos originais não. Os métodos alternativos apresentaram desempenho similar ao método original, com pequena vantagem para o raking em algumas medidas de avaliação. Conclusão: Recomenda-se que os pesos básicos de delineamento sejam documentados e incluídos nos arquivos de dados de uso público da PNS. Além disso, sugere-se o chaveamento das informações entre a amostra e a subamostra da PNS 2013 para possibilitar a exploração de métodos como a imputação de dados, visando obter estimativas mais precisas e representativas. Essas melhorias são essenciais para garantir a qualidade e utilidade dos dados da PNS em estudos epidemiológicos e de saúde coletiva.

Published: February 2025

RESUMO Introdução: Na formação dos estudantes de saúde, há uma escassez de debates sobre a morte e o morrer, provocando despreparo e sofrimento emocional no enfrentamento dessas situações. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de medo que os estudantes de Medicina e de Psicologia apresentam diante do processo de enfrentamento da morte. Método: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo survey que utiliza a Escala de Medo da Morte de Collet-Lester envolvendo estudantes maiores de 18 anos, em diferentes períodos da graduação de Medicina e de Psicologia, com comparação com os grupos por meio de testes estatísticos adequados. Resultado: Entre os 333 estudantes que responderam ao questionário, evidenciou-se um maior medo da morte dos outros para ambos os cursos. Na Medicina, o medo da própria morte foi maior no final do curso (p = 0,045), e, na Psicologia, houve uma redução significativa do medo da morte dos outros no meio do curso (p = 0,039). Conclusão: Ter uma grade curricular que trabalhe questões clínicas e psicossociais sobre a finitude da vida pode auxiliar na redução das inseguranças e dos medos dos estudantes visando fornecer um cuidado integral de qualidade ao paciente.
Desafios enfrentados para o atendimento de pacientes surdos: um estudo com docentes de Medicina
Authors: Santos Daniel Lucas de Oliveira , Costa Kristen Tolomelli , Cirilo Pauliane Romano , Cardoso Ana Maria de Jesus
Published: February 2025

RESUMO Introdução: A surdez é caracterizada pela diminuição da capacidade de percepção de sons, e a Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) é reconhecida legalmente como forma de comunicação para indivíduos surdos. Além disso, estabelece-se que a assistência à saúde das pessoas surdas deve ser conduzida ou mediada por profissionais treinados no uso da Libras. Contudo, o despreparo dos profissionais de saúde para se comunicar de formas que extrapolam a oralidade é uma realidade profusa no sistema de saúde brasileiro. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar os desafios enfrentados por docentes de um curso de Medicina para o atendimento de pessoas surdas. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa observacional, transversal, realizada por meio de um questionário on-line, cujo público-alvo foi composto por profissionais da saúde que lecionam no curso de Medicina de uma instituição particular de Belo Horizonte, em Minas Gerais. O instrumento utilizado foi elaborado pelos pesquisadores com base na Attitudes to Deafness Scale. Realizou-se um pré-teste no qual a consistência interna, avaliada pelo coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, foi classificada como aceitável (0,76). Após a coleta, os dados foram tabulados no Microsoft Excel e analisados no software R. Resultado: O estudo contou com 89 participantes, dos quais 78% declararam não possuir nenhum conhecimento sobre Libras, 88% afirmaram que não se sentem preparados para atender pessoas surdas e 91% nunca realizaram alguma capacitação para conduzir esses atendimentos. Os principais desafios identificados foram o desconhecimento dos recursos oferecidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde para os pacientes surdos e a incapacidade de fornecer orientações adequadas. Os resultados também sugerem que os participantes com capacitação para atender pessoas surdas percebem como menores os desafios para os atendimentos. Ademais, participantes sem experiência prévia com pacientes surdos relataram maior dificuldade em guiar os alunos para o atendimento dessa população. Conclusão: Os resultados evidenciam numerosos desafios enfrentados pelos participantes para o atendimento de pessoas surdas. A análise dos achados reforça a falha estrutural na inclusão efetiva das pessoas com deficiência durante a formação profissional e nos serviços de saúde em geral.

Authors: Selau Bruna Lima , Paim Marina Bastos , Kovaleski Douglas Francisco
Published: February 2025

Resumo Durante a pandemia provocada pelo vírus Sars-CoV-2, associações e movimentos sociais pertencentes a populações do campo construíram diversas ações buscando garantir a sobrevivência de suas comunidades. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar os efeitos das práticas associativas na garantia de saúde da população do campo no contexto pandêmico. Trata-se de um estudo de casos de caráter qualitativo, no qual participaram o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra e três associações quilombolas, contemplando três regiões do Brasil (Sul, Sudeste e Nordeste). Realizaram-se 15 entrevistas com integrantes desses movimentos entre 2021 e 2022. Os dados foram examinados por meio de análise temática. As ações organizadas nos territórios pautaram-se em princípios solidários, na gestão da vida comunitária e na defesa da vida, tornando comunitária a responsabilidade sobre a saúde e os direitos sociais. A organização popular na pandemia proporcionou um maior comprometimento dentro das associações, assentamentos e acampamentos na luta por saúde e por direitos, provocando uma mobilização comunitária e uma formação política que tornaram os coletivos mais fortes para construir sua luta. O associativismo, por meio da organização popular, fomentou a solidariedade, formação política e o cuidado coletivo, atuando em uma perspectiva emancipatória de saúde.

Published: February 2025

RESUMO Ressonâncias musicais no corpo e cena da performance negra1 – Em atenção à potência da musicalidade nas artes da cena como dispositivo de estados corporais e, também, no que diz respeito às texturas e ambiências que colaboram com a dramaturgia, o presente artigo aborda a relação corpo, cena, música e cultura afro-brasileira. Para tanto, utiliza-se a experiência com o espetáculo Por cima do mar eu vim, produzido pelo Núcleo Coletivo 22, na cidade de Goiânia (GO), para discutir a maneira pela qual a musicalidade afro-ameríndia é capaz de dar contornos à cena contemporânea, de modo a atribuir-lhe traços identitários do que se pode chamar, por exemplo, de performance negra e de poéticas afro-ameríndias.

ABSTRACT Purpose To map the literature on the use of the Remote Microphone System (RMS) in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods Scoping Review following the Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations and PRISMA-ScR checklist. Search was carried out in the databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, and gray literature, including Google Scholar and ProQuest, as well as reference lists of included studies and expert consultations. Intervention studies with children and adolescents with ASD using RMS were included, without gender, language, age, publication time, ethnicity, or geographical location restrictions. Results 709 studies were identified in phase 1. After reviewing 14 full texts with eligibility, eight studies were eligible. Studies were heterogeneous in the RMS model (personal or free field), applied tests, intervention period, and location. Improvement in speech perception, social interaction, behavior, attention, auditory memory, noise tolerance, stress reduction, and modification in neural activity through electrophysiological evaluation were observed. Conclusion Using RMS demonstrated benefits in speech perception, social interaction, and behavior in adolescents and children with ASD. Further studies are needed to define protocols and indication parameters in this population.
Review of Polydora species from Brazil, with identification key and description of two new species (Annelida: Spionidae)
Authors: Radashevsky Vasily I.
Published: February 2025

Abstract This study aimed to review previous records of Polydora species from Brazil, as well as provide new records, mainly from the Southeast and South regions of the country. In total, 11 species were distinguished and a key to their identification is given. Polydora cornuta , P. nuchalis , and a new species from the state of Rio de Janeiro, P. nonatoi sp. nov. were found to occur in silty sand tubes in soft sediments; six species were found to be opportunistic commensals boring in shells of various molluscs; P. colonia was found to only bore in sponges; and a new species, P. paulolanai sp. nov., was found to bore in both sponges and oyster shells in Paraná state. Adults of P. nonatoi sp. nov. have black stripes on the palps, black spots on the peristomium and 3−4 anterior chaetigers, short occipital antenna, falcate spines of chaetiger 5 with a large lateral tooth connected to main stem by thin sheath, and only capillary chaetae in the posterior notopodia. Adults of P. paulolanai sp. nov. have black bands on the palps, short occipital antenna, falcate spines of chaetiger 5 with transverse subdistal collar on concave side, and numerous needle-like spines loosely held in tufts in addition to capillary chaetae in the posterior notopodia. Polydora caeca Webster, 1879 is resurrected and treated here as a senior subjective synonym of P. neocaeca Williams & Radashevsky, 1999. Shell-boring worms from Brazil earlier identified as P. neocaeca or P. cf. haswelli Blake & Kudenov, 1978 are referred to P. caeca . The urgent need of molecular data for the correct identification of Polydora species from Brazilian waters is highlighted.

Este artigo teve por objetivo compreender como o sofrimento ético-político atravessa o diagnóstico de depressão das mulheres que participaram de um grupo realizado em um CAPS no Sul de Santa Catarina. Foram realizadas entrevistas com quatro mulheres. Os resultados foram agrupados em cinco categorias: “sofrimento social e diagnóstico” em que é apresentado a compreensão da patologia como máscara para as dores sociais; “fragilidade da rede de apoio” em que é exposto o desamparo e a fragilidade nos âmbitos familiares e amorosos, “casamento” que evidencia como o casamento contribuiu para situação de sofrimento vivenciadas pelas participantes; “violências” fenômeno marcado por experiência de abusos físicos, psicológicos e sexuais; e “luto” que apresenta o sofrimento relacionado a perda de um ente querido. A pesquisa evidenciou como o sofrimento ético-político foi constitutivo da experiência de vida das participantes, e que seus efeitos contribuem para a culminação de um quadro depressivo.
Occupational Therapy Students experiences and perceptions of culture during fieldwork education
Authors: Sonn-De Minck Inge , Vermeulen Nikki
Published: February 2025

Background: Understanding a clients' culture allows practitioners to consider the planning of intervention and allows for a client centred approach to be provided. Occupational therapy students can face the challenge of other cultural practices, standards, morals and ways of life coming into conflict with their own culture.
Purpose: There is minimal literature discussing the challenges and supporting factors that assist students in becoming culturally competent across cross-cultural settings. As such this article will focus on occupational therapy student's experiences and perceptions of culture during their fieldwork practice.
Methods: This phenomenological study was conducted with undergraduate occupational therapy students from a university in Cape Town, South Africa. This study explored the students' experiences of culture, and their perceptions of the barriers and enablers that culture presents during fieldwork practice.
Findings: The two main themes that emerged from the analysis, were: 1) Culture is easily defined but not easily described, and 2) Is there no 'me' in OT?
Implications: The findings of this study questioned whether cultural competence is static but determined that exposure to, positive attitudes towards and self-reflection on culturally diverse experiences are the factors that contribute towards developing cultural competence in culturally diverse situations.
Food insecurity and youth suicidal behaviours: Evidence from the Canadian Health Survey of Children and Youth
Authors: Lounis Lilia , Jacqdom Lovena , Elgar Frank J.
Published: February 2025

Objective

Youth suicide, a major cause of death, is linked to poverty and other adverse experiences. Evidence of its association with food insecurity is unclear due to inadequate controls for household income in previous research. This cross-sectional study used independent reports of household income, food insecurity, and suicidal behaviours to examine these associations in a population-based sample.

Methods

The 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth surveyed 6735 youth (15–17 years), gathering data on sadness/hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Adults provided information on household food insecurity using a multi-item scale and about diagnosed mood disorders in youth. Household income data were provided by government tax records. We used Poisson regressions to estimate the relative risk (RR) of each suicidal behaviour attributed to household food insecurity, adjusting for household income and other covariates.

Results

Approximately one in five (19.8%) youth experienced marginal (5.2%), moderate (7.9%), or severe (3.3%) food insecurity. Moderate or severe food insecurity was associated with increased risks of sadness/hopelessness, mood disorder, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts (RRs 1.30–2.17) after controlling for household income differences and other covariates. Generally, more severe food insecurity was positively associated with suicide behaviours.

Conclusion

Household food insecurity is associated with youth suicidal behaviours, independently of household income. Its underlying pathway to youth mental health includes social and psychological factors that require targeted policy intervention.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. Restrictions, social isolation measures, increased stress, and changing daily routines during the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant decrease in young adults’ physical activity levels and sleep quality. Objective. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the physical activity levels and sleep quality of young people studying at a university during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method. This descriptive, correlational study was conducted with 670 young adults studying healthcare. Data was collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and student information form. Results. 73.1% of the students reported insufficient sleep and 12.7% reported no physical activity. It was determined that 92.5% of the students whose average IPAQ-SF score was 2107.64 ± 54.70 MET-min/week and total PSQI score average was 7.51±2.92, increased their internet use and 94% used smartphones. A moderate negative relationship was found between the overall mean PSQI score and sleep duration, and between habitual sleep efficiency and the overall mean PSQI score. Discussion and Conclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected students’ physical activity and sleep quality, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve this situation.

Published: February 2025

Security is one of the most important issues both at the individual and organizational level, as well as at the national level. In today's world, where technological development and globalization create new opportunities, new threats also arise. Therefore, security guidelines are becoming increasingly important to ensure stability, protection and sustainability. Geopolitical situations in the world are determined by the great powers that have a better economic status, natural resources, human resources, development on the world "stage", the country's military armament, as a result of which smaller countries with less recognition in the world are affected. Many factors determine public safety, in peacetime, in a state of emergency, or in a time of emergency.
Ovotesticular disorder of sex development with bilateral ovotestis.
Authors: Tkachenko Fedor , Levchenko Natalia , Anurova Olga , Filippova Tamara , Litvinova Maria , Slukhanchuk Ekaterina , Rubashchenko Alina
Published: February 2025

Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OTDSD), or true hermaphroditism, is a rare form of disorder of sex development (DSD), accounting for less than 10% of all cases. This condition is characterized by the simultaneous presence of ovarian and testicular tissue, independently on the karyotype.
In this article we describe a case of a 61-year-old patient with DSD first diagnosed at this age. An additional examination in genetics and cytogenetic examination revealed a 46,XY karyotype associated with an increased risk of gonadal malignancy. Surgical treatment was performed within the framework of bilateral adnexectomy. Histological examination revealed the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissue in the gonads, which is consistent with the diagnosis of OTDSD with bilateral ovotestis.
When karyotype 46XY is detected, bilateral adnexectomy is indicated due to the high risk of malignization.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND
Ovarian formations during pregnancy are the most common pathology and reach 3.2%. However, there is little data in the literature on the possibility of relapses after removal of ovarian tumors in women, which could predict their possible occurrence.
AIM
The purpose of this work was to assess the possibility of predicting the occurrence of both primary and repeated ovarian tumors in pregnant women in the form of a certain prognostic rule.
METHODS
The study included 100 women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Pregnant women were divided into 2 groups: the 1st main group included 50 women with ovarian formations both for the first time (before the first birth) and (in some) recurring (before the second birth). The 2nd control group consisted of 50 pregnant women, without pathology in both the first and second pregnancies
RESULTS
During the study, two predictive rules were formed, which were used on a test sample of randomly selected 24 pregnant women with ovarian formations for the first time and recurrent ones. The agreement between the forecast and the actual state of affairs turned out to be quite acceptable; the degree of forecast in the first case was 83%, in the second 62%
CONCLUSION
The use of prognostic rules is quite possible for diagnostic assessment of the probability of development of both primary and recurrent ovarian formations. This approach will increase the accuracy of diagnosis, prevention of gynecological pathology, as well as the development of treatment methods and management of such patients even before ultrasound or surgery

Introduction: the annual increase in the number of cancer patients, as well as ensuring their quality of life, is one of the priorities of modern medicine. Gonadotoxic treatment leads to the development of premature ovarian failure, as well as infertility. To overcome this problem, various methods of assisted reproductive technologies are being developed. Vitrification of oocytes and embryos is recommended as the first line for fertility preservation. To achieve this goal, ovarian stimulation is used, as well as the in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) method.Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods of assisted reproductive technologies for the preservation of reproductive material in patients with oncological diseases.Materials and methods: a prospective study was conducted that included 48 women with ocular diseases of reproductive age. At the first stage, the possibilities of preserving fertility were assessed, then, depending on the distribution, ovarian stimulation was performed followed by transvaginal puncture or immature oocytes were obtained followed by their maturation. After that, the embryologist evaluated all the obtained material, carried out fertilization if necessary and vitrification.Results: the average age of the patients included in the study was 33.9± 1.7 years, the level of AMH ranged from 1.26 ng/ml to 3.02 ng/ml, CAF ranged about 10. 256 oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCCs) were obtained in the first group, of which 73.0% were mature eggs, and 149 OCCs were obtained in the second group, of which 38.9% were suitable for vitrification. Also, during IVM, abnormalities in the structure of the resulting cells were most often observed. 161 and 78 embryos were obtained, respectively.Conclusion: the preservation of fertility for patients with oncological pathology is an urgent problem of modern healthcare. Ovarian stimulation demonstrates high efficiency in obtaining reproductive material. The in vitro oocyte maturation method should be used only as an alternative to OS or with high values of ovarian reserve.
Experience in the management of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer
Authors: Zhurman Varvara N.
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND: In patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, there is a critical need to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy — either secondary cytoreduction surgical procedures followed by chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone.
AIM: Evaluation of treatment efficacy in patients with first recurrence of ovarian cancer based on clinicopathological factors.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for 446 patients with first recurrence of ovarian cancer who received treatment at the Primorsky Regional Oncology Center. The cohort included 53 (11.9%) patients with platinum-refractory recurrence, 110 (24.7%) patients with platinum-resistant recurrence, and 283 patients (63.5%) with platinum-sensitive recurrence. Genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations was performed in 197 patients; mutations in these genes were identified in 62 of 197 (31.5%) cases, while no mutations were detected in 135 of 197 (68.5%) cases. The primary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival. The impact of clinicopathological factors was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses, as well as Kaplan–Meier survival curves.
RESULTS: Patients with first recurrence of ovarian cancer demonstrated significant improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) under the following conditions: platinum-sensitive recurrence (p=0.0010 for OS and PFS), stage I disease (p=0.0030 for OS; p=0.0010 for PFS), presence of BRCA1/2 mutations (p=0.0010 for OS; p=0.0070 for PFS), secondary cytoreduction surgical procedures followed by chemotherapy (p=0.0010 for OS and PFS), presence of a single recurrent tumor (p=0.0010 for OS; p=0.0040 for PFS), primary cytoreduction surgical procedures (p=0.0010 for OS and PFS), and complete primary cytoreduction (p=0.0100 for OS; p=0.0010 for PFS). Multivariate analysis revealed a 30% reduction in the risk of progression in patients with BRCA1/2 mutations (p=0.0160) and a 30% reduction in those with a single recurrent tumor (p=0.0040). Independent risk factors for disease progression included histological tumor type, extent of primary cytoreduction, platinum-free interval, treatment strategy for the first recurrence, chemotherapy regimen, and maintenance therapy approach.
CONCLUSION: Complete secondary cytoreductive surgery followed by systemic antineoplastic drug therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer significantly enhances overall survival and progression-free survival, while also increasing the frequency of subsequent platinum-sensitive recurrences.
Analysis of Surface Wave to Assess Water Infiltration Beneath Dam Infrastructures: Insights from the Song Tranh 2 Reservoir

Accurate seismic hazard assessment and fluid infiltration analysis near dam reservoirs require detailed crustal structure data. This study explores the interplay between subsurface structures and reservoir-induced seismicity at the Song Tranh 2 dam in Vietnam, focusing on implications for dam safety. Utilizing data from over 7000 induced microearthquakes recorded between August 2013 and June 2017, we selected over 3300 microearthquakes (M ≤ 3.6), and then by calculating dispersion curves (0.6–3.0 s periods), we applied surface-wave tomography to derive anisotropic and isotropic shear-wave velocity models between 0.5 and 2.5 km depth. The results reveal significant crustal heterogeneity, including velocity anomalies that suggest potential fluid infiltration pathways, pore pressure variations, and stress field modifications. Geological units (e.g., amphibolite and migmatite) play a key role in influencing seismic activity, with variations in seismic velocities reflecting differences in lithology and deformation intensity. With a few exceptions, the final tomography and anisotropy models align well with the mapped geologic units delineating four distinct reservoir sectors, each defined by unique seismicity patterns and fast anisotropic direction (local tectonic stresses). The findings emphasize the role of fault systems in shaping the stress regime and anisotropy, providing insights into mechanisms driving reservoir-triggered seismicity. Horizontal shear-wave slices reveal high velocities in sectors consisting of amphibolite and mafic granulite, whereas low velocities dominate sectors covered by migmatic and mafic granulite units where fracturing and water infiltration are likely contributing factors to the observed velocity reduction. Moreover, the analysis identifies regions with limited seismicity, likely indicative of less deformable subsurface structures, which may reduce seismic risks in certain areas. Discrepancies between anisotropic and isotropic radial anisotropy models (VSH and VSV discrepancies) and peak-to-peak differences in these models offer valuable insights into the subsurface structure around main and secondary fault junctions. Anisotropic cross-section profiles emphasize fault lines and tectonic influences, whereas isotropic profiles provide details on geological units. Around faults, anisotropic fast directions are inferred to be obscured by cracks or fluid infiltration, as seen in isotropic VSV and VSH models.

Published: February 2025

El objetivo es analizar el sistema probatorio aplicable a la valoración de la prueba documental electrónica en un procedimiento administrativo sancionador de tipo desformalizado en Chile. La investigación se desarrolla con base en una metodología dogmática a partir del análisis e interpretación de la información obtenida por técnicas documentales. El artículo se sustenta tanto en la doctrina ius puniendi administrativa, como en los principios básicos de los sistemas del Derecho Probatorio, desde una visión panorámica cimentada, fundamentalmente en la Teoría del Derecho, para sostener que el estándar probatorio señalado debe ser el de la prueba tasada. Los resultados permiten establecer que, a falta de regulación sectorial, debe aplicarse el artículo 5° de la Ley N° 19.799 con preferencia del artículo 35 inciso 1° de la Ley N° 19.880, lo cual conlleva que en los procedimientos administrativos sancionatorios que carezcan de norma especial, el documento público electrónico tiene el valor de plena prueba en los términos que indica el Código Civil, pero restringida, exclusivamente, a los hechos que precisa el mencionado Código.

International migration has become not only an important means of equalizing economic and social opportunities for people, but also a source of various threats to human rights. The study aims to analyze the impact of contemporary migration processes on the socioeconomic status of migrants, identify the main threats faced by economic (labor) migrants and the resulting human rights and social policy challenges, and analyze the regional and universal mechanisms for international protection of migrant workers adopted to date. Using qualitative data collection methods, the authors analyze the threats to human rights experienced by migrant workers. The paper also lists the essential legal provisions that define the status of migrants at different stages of the migration process, including the universal conventions of the International Labor Organization and the UN, documents developed within the framework of regional cooperation structures, and national legislation. The study defines the tasks facing state social policy to minimize the negative consequences of migration. Conclusions are drawn on the effectiveness of legal instruments for the protection of migrants adopted to date.
