The Interests in the Constitutional Law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Interests of Constitutional and Legal Regulation: An Estological Study
Authors: Yurkovsky Aleksei
Published: December 2023

The article contains the final materials of a comprehensive study conducted by the author in the field of the concept of constitutional and legal regulation in the Democratic People›s Republic of Korea using the latest author›s methodology and research technology (estological analysis of constitutional and legal regulation). The paper proposes a differentiated approach to the definition of system-structural and functional characteristics of interests in the constitutional law of the DPRK by subjects and objects. In addition to monitoring the subjects, owners of interests and objects of interest, the study attempts to state the patterns of existence of the interests of constitutional law and the interests of constitutional and legal regulation, as an independent social phenomenon. When conducting an estological study of the form and content of positive constitutional law, its legal and technical features in the state under consideration, the presence of a phenomenology of the interests of constitutional legal and general legal regulation is revealed. Signs of the interests of legal regulation differ from the political interests of subjects of constitutional law. These signs correspond to the signs of the most positive law and the signs of the mechanism of state power of the DPRK. The generalized materials allow us to consider constitutional values and anti-values in relation to each other, defining the interests of positive constitutional law, legal features of the development of the political system of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the mechanism of state power and objective signs of the mechanism and process of legal regulation in the state in question. When conducting an estological study, the presence of a phenomenology of the interests of constitutional and legal and legal regulation, corresponding to the signs of positive law and the mechanism of state power, is revealed. Signs of positive law determine the specifics of legal regulation and determine the features of the functioning of the mechanism of state power. The subjects and their interests, legalized in constitutional law, individualize the specifics of the objective legal and administrative reality of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, defining its unique outlines and manifestations.
The Character of Joining Federal Territories Within the Territory of the Russian Federation: Current Trends in Legislative Policy
Authors: Praskova Svetlana
Published: December 2023

One of the most controversial problems of modern Russian constitutional construction is the issue of whether the federal territories are directly part of the territory of Russia or they should be an integral part of the territory of a subject of the Russian Federation. The Constitution of the Russian Federation does not give an unambiguous answer to the issue posed, allowing a double interpretation of the provisions of Part 1 of Article 67. The federal laws also do not directly respond to the issue on the character of joining the federal territories within the territory of the Russian Federation. The author notes that comprehensive law on the organization of public power in the federal territories has not been enacted in Russia and the tendency for the development of legislation is aimed at enacting a separate federal law for an individual federal territory. The provisions of the Federal Law «On the Federal Territory “Sirius”» are formulated in such a way as to answer the question about its joining or non-joining within the territory of the Krasnodar Territory was impossible. At the same time, the foundations of the organization of public power in Russia are being revised. The Federal Law «On General Principles for the Organization of Public Power in Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation» contains rules implying joining federal territories into the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation along with administrative centers (capitals) of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, closed administrative territorial entities and other territorial units with a special status. Thus, the author concludes that the current legislative policy is aimed at creating the federal territories within the borders of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which can neutralize the very idea of creating federal territories in Russia.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVES: Complaints of arm, neck, and shoulder (CANS) have been recognized as an important cause of work disability. Therefore, it is essential to identify those health risk factors for the development of CANS before they escalate into a disabling musculoskeletal condition. This study aims to ascertain the association between individual, physical, and psychosocial risk factors and the occurrence of CANS among academics in Malaysia. METHODS: A cross-sectional study design was adopted, enrolling 296 academic staff working at a private university in Malaysia using a convenient sampling approach. A content-validated questionnaire was distributed among selected academic staff to gather their feedback on the prevalence and contributing factors of CANS, and the survey was conducted for a period of six months. The chi-square test was used to analyze the association between risk factors and CANS, and multiple logistic regression was used to predict the risk factors of CANS. This study links all the health risk factors to CANS in Malaysian academicians. RESULTS: Of the academic staff who participated in this study, 63.5% reported an annual prevalence of CANS. Physical risk factors, including work experience, adopting a static head-down posture, time spent per day in teaching, and the number of hours spent in front of a computer, are associated with CANS (p<0.05). However, the utility of back support (p=0.878) and footrests (p=0.078) does not show any association with the occurrence of CANS (p>0.05). Besides job demand, other psychosocial factors do not show any significant association with CANS. DISCUSSION: The study found that 63.5% of academic staff suffer from arm, shoulder, and neck pain, which is linked to physical risk factors such as work experience, static posture, teaching time and computer use. Back support and footrests had no significant influence on the complaints. Addressing physical risk factors is key to reducing these conditions among academic staff.

Authors: Darzé Gabriel Cunha , Oliveira Gerfson Moreira
Published: December 2023

INTRODUÇÃO: A principal porta de entrada para a saúde pública no Brasil é a Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), que é essencial para o funcionamento do modelo de atenção psicossocial proposto pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). OBJETIVO: Relatar as vivências de um psicólogo residente em Clínica da Pessoa e da Família, inserido no Complexo Comunitário Vida Plena (CCVP), uma unidade básica de saúde docente-assistencial, no acolhimento de pessoas em Sofrimento Psíquico Intenso (SPI). A unidade de saúde fica localizada no Distrito Sanitário Pau da Lima (DSPL), um território repleto de vulnerabilidade social e escassez de espaços comunitários e de cuidados ampliados. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um relato de experiência, de caráter qualitativo, sobre o acolhimento de pessoas em SPI no CCVP. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÕES: Foi observado que o contexto do DSPL levou a uma sobrecarga do CCVP, e em especial dos profissionais da psicologia, no cuidado de pessoas em SPI. Apesar de exercer um papel importante no cuidado desses sujeitos, o CCVP enfrenta dificuldades na promoção da saúde mental, amparada pela perspectiva da atenção psicossocial. Entre os desafios observados destacam-se a fragmentação do cuidado, a dificuldade na articulação com outras unidades e a influência de modelos biomédicos ainda vigentes. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: A experiência de formação pelo trabalho em serviços da APS favoreceu o desenvolvimento de reflexões críticas sobre os desafios da atenção às pessoas em SPI e propiciou a elaboração de estratégias de cuidado possíveis que se aproximam dos princípios da clínica psicossocial no SUS.

Published: December 2023

Men who have sex with men (MSM) contain the highest risk factor and contribute significantly to HIV / AIDS transmission. As a chronic disease, MSM with HIV / AIDS needs treatment and care for the rest of their lives. The complexity of HIV disease and its treatment makes self-care essential for the optimal health of people living with HIV. The Health Belief Model (HBM) factors can explain and predict self-care behavior in MSM with HIV/AIDS. This study aims to analyze the dominant factors associated with self-care of MSM with HIV / AIDS. This research uses quantitative methods with correlation analytic design. The sampling process employed a purposive sampling of 78 respondents. Primary data collection was processed by a self-care assessment questionnaire and HBM through google forms online survey. The data were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation test and multiple linear regression. The results showed that the highest mean HBM was in perceived self-efficacy (23.18) and self-care in the spiritual domain (24.94). The bivariate results showed that self-care had a significant relationship with perceived susceptibility (r = 0.346, p 0.05), perceived benefits, (r = 0.255, p 0.05), and perceived self-efficacy (r = 0.406, p 0.05). The multivariate results found that perceived self-efficacy is the dominant factor (β = 0.406) which is related to the respondent’s self-care ability. Most respondents have the belief that they are capable of self-care, the higher the perceived self-efficacy the better the chance of having self-care. Services that respect and value MSM as humans by providing motivation through counseling during Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) play a role in maintaining and increasing perceived self-efficacy. Nursing care that is carried out with the belief that everyone has the ability to care for themselves can help the individual meet the needs of life, maintain health and well-being.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a global problem that is expected to increase along with the increasing rate of population aging. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are considered capable of overcoming the accumulation of amyloid-β plaques; pathological signs of AD. This study aims to explore the potential of mAbs as alternative pharmacological therapies for the elderly with AD. This study uses a scoping review design based on the PAGER framework. The results of the study were identified based on the PRISMA-ScR protocol and criticized using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Article searches were conducted through 3 databases including EBSCO-Host Academic Science Complete, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, and 3 online resources including Sage Journals, Taylor Francis, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria were full English text, primary research articles, and published between 2018-2022.A total of 8 articles were included in the review. Most of the evidence shows 6 mAbs have potential to reduce amyloid-β accumulation in AD patients. Alternative therapy with monoclonal antibodies has side effects that represent a major problem in the high incidence of vasogenic cerebral edema and micro cerebral hemorrhage or Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities (ARIA). Plasma tau has the potential to strengthen the clinical diagnosis of AD. The use of mAbs as AD immunotherapy can reduce amyloid-β with side effects that are monitored continuously. Differences in mAb examination results can be influenced by less accurate clinical diagnostic accuracy.

Las pruebas de hisopado nasal se han utilizado ampliamente para diagnosticar y prevenir la propagación de la infección por coronavirus pandémico (COVID-19). A pesar de haber sido considerada una prueba segura y bien tolerada, se han reportado algunas complicaciones serias en su ejecución. Se informa el caso de un paciente de 36 años que presentó una rinorrea acuosa continua de fosa nasal derecha cinco días después de un hisopado nasal para COVID-19. Se estableció la sospecha diagnóstica de fístula de líquido cefalorraquideo (LCR) a las 6 semanas del inicio de la rinorrea, interpretada inicialmente como rinitis alérgica. Los hallazgos rinoendoscópicos y radiológicos no fueron concluyentes para identificar un defecto fistuloso en la base del cráneo, pero la determinación de β-2 transferrina en el fluido nasal confirmaron la presencia de LCR. Después del tratamiento médico, la rinorrea de LCR disminuyó progresivamente hasta ceder, sin recurrencia durante 1 año de seguimiento.Las pruebas de hisopado nasal para COVID-19, aunque han sido consideradas seguras, no están exentas de riesgos. En el caso reportado se demostró una de lesión intracraneal grave, que, a pesar de haber sido diagnosticada tardíamente, se pudo controlar espontáneamente con el manejo médico implementado.

Published: December 2023

La incidencia de los desórdenes orales potencialmente malignos (DOPM) de cavidad oral ha aumentado en los últimos años, por lo que la identificación de los factores de riesgo modificables y no modificables, y de la infección por genotipos del virus de papiloma humano (VPH) de alto riesgo, se han vuelto objeto de múltiples investigaciones para determinar qué pacientes tienen mayor riesgo de progresión a carcinoma escamocelular de cavidad oral (CECO). El objetivo de esta revisión fue identificar los principales factores de riesgo descritos para los DOPM y qué investigaciones se han realizado para evaluar la función de la tinción inmunohistoquímica de p16 INK4a en la progresión de estas lesiones. Se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura de artículos publicados en los últimos 50 años en las bases de datos PUBMED, MEDLINE y SCOPUS. Dentro de lo observado, se encontró que la incidencia de los desórdenes varía mucho según el sexo y la edad; los principales hábitos de riesgo son el consumo crónico de alcohol y el tabaquismo. Por último, no se encontró evidencia suficiente que correlacione la infección por genotipos de VPH de alto riesgo y la tinción inmunohistoquímica de p16 INK4a para establecer cuáles lesiones de bajo grado van a malignizarse.

Authors: Kril Kateryna
Published: December 2023

Caring for the development of her native nation, Natalia Kobrynska (1856-1920), the Ukrainian writer and one of the outstanding Women’s Movement activists had direct contacts with Poland. She wrote in her “Autobiography” that in her early years she was reading originals of Polish fiction as well as socio-political pieces from her father’s private home library, including “Letters from Krakiv”, the threevolume book by J. Kremer, “Pan Tadeusz” and “Dziady” by Mickiewicz, literary works by Hofman-Tanska. She was fascinated by E. Ozheshko’s book «Kilka słów o kobietach» (“Some words about women”). Works by B. Limanovsky, the outstanding Polish activist, were of her special interest, since she knew him in person and often wrote about him to I. Franko and M. Pavlyk. Being in Switzerland, she felt appreciation on the part of the representatives of Polish diaspora and students. For quite a long time Kobrynska was linked by bonds of friendship with Vysloukh family – Boleslav and Maria – in the form of continual correspondence. She wrote a review for «Na przeboj» (“Into the Breach”), the literary work by M. Sheliha. Her story “Pani Shuminska” (“Mrs Shuminska” or “The Spirit of the Age”) was translated into Polish by Masliak and Orkan. Presented research exposes one of the aspects of Kobrynska’s activity, that is, socio-political and cultural, in the framework of the relations between Ukraine and Poland. The article is based exclusively on archive evidences which highly characterise long-term social and political activity of N. Kobrynska as well as her contribution to literature and cultural studies in terms of international ties of Ukraine and Galicia with the world-known foreign activists, particularly from Poland, in their homelands well as abroad (in Switzerland, for example). The study includes important information about Kobrynska’s epistolary legacy as a leader of Women’s Movement and initiator of ties with Slavs and other lands. Kobrynska personal writings enriches history and literature of Ukraine and Poland with indisputable facts important for literary, social and cultural criticism of both countries. The article enables us to broaden studies in terms of world contacts of Ukraine with the help of archival material.

Published: December 2023

The reasons for the chronization of periodontal tissue inflammation are still poorly understood, which determines the low effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic measures. The accumulated data allow us to consider the multifactorial nature of chronic generalized periodontitis as the most probable. The transition from health to disease occurs gradually and is accompanied by the depletion of the functional reserve and a decrease in the ability to adapt. Some research data are consistent with the modern understanding of the role of nervous, immune, hormonal, barrier mechanisms in the occurrence of CGP. The effectiveness of the dentist's work largely depends on the skills of integrative perception of the patient's health, a comprehensive assessment of the main parameters of homeostasis, background reactivity of the body. Highly effective diagnostic decisions should be made only on the basis of data from a wide range of diagnostic methods.
