Der Öffentliche Gesundheitsdienst (ÖGD) in Deutschland und insbesondere die Gesundheitsämter spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Sicherstellung der Gesundheit der Bevölkerung auf kommunaler Ebene. Jahrzehntelang stand der ÖGD vor personellen, finanziellen und strukturellen Herausforderungen, die durch die COVID-19-Pandemie teilweise erstmals öffentlichkeitswirksam diskutiert und im Rahmen politischer Reformen adressiert wurden. So gab es u.a. eine Bundesförderung zur Stärkung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Praxis und Wissenschaft im ÖGD, wo auch das vorgestellte EvidenzÖGD-Projekt verankert ist. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, innovative Wissenstransferansätze zu fördern und Kooperationen zwischen ÖGD-Praxis, -Lehre und -Wissenschaft nachhaltig zu stärken. In einer Pilotphase wurde ein Trainee-Rotationsmodell erprobt, das die Qualifikation für eine koordinierende Funktion zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis im ÖGD auf kommunaler Ebene beinhaltet. Erste Erfahrungen zeigen, dass diese multidisziplinäre und institutionenübergreifende Initiative wertvolle Kompetenzen vermittelt kann, um Wissenstransferprozesse nachhaltig im ÖGD zu integrieren.

Published: December 2023

The article discusses the purpose, functions and features of public spaces as an integral component of a comfortable urban environment. The study analyzed the state and level of performance of public spaces’ functions in Irkutsk as a part of urban life structure. We focused on characteristics and role of open and closed spaces for the youth part of the city's population, since Irkutsk, like other Siberian cities is facing a problem of the outflow of young people, caused by lack of socio-economic conditions. We found high importance of public spaces for young citizens who view them as socially inclusive, recreational, and entertaining. The study concluded that there is a necessity to strengthen civil, organizational, creative functions and the function of storing «collective memory». We put forward some ideas how to improve public spaces of Irkutsk, braoden opportunities for recreation, leisure, creativity and social development of young people.

Cam Sanrısı: Tuhaf Bir Melankoli Türü ve Günümüz Sanatındaki Yansımaları
Authors: YILMAZ Ersoy
Published: December 2023

Cam sanrısı, erken modern dönemde, özellikle 15. ve 17. yüzyıllar arasında Avrupa'da oldukça yaygın olan, bir kişinin camdan yapılmış bir bedene veya beden uzuvlarına sahip olduğuna dair saplantılı inançtır. Cam adam figürü yaklaşık 200 yıl boyunca Avrupa'da yaygın olarak görüldükten sonra, camın seri üretim yöntemleriyle sıradan bir malzeme haline geldiği ve büyüsünü yitirdiği 19. yüzyılda neredeyse tamamen ortadan kalkmıştır. 20'nci yüzyıldaki birkaç münferit vaka dışında, cam sanrısının kendisini yeniden hatırlattığı yer 21.yüzyıl çağdaş sanat ortamı gibi görünmektedir. Bazı sanatçılar eserlerinde cam sanrısını doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak konu edinmiştir. Ayrıca eserler cam olsun ya da olmasın bu hastalığın tema olarak seçildiği bireysel sanat eserleri ve toplu sergi etkinlikleri de vardır. Bunlar, malzeme olarak camın kısmen ya da tamamen öne çıkarıldığı, cam sanrısına güçlü ya da zayıf göndermeler yapan disiplinler aşırı çalışmalardır. Bu çalışmaların pek çoğunda güzellik kavramını sanata geri getirmek isteyen bir estetik kaygı açıkça hissedilirken pek çoğu da muhatabını insan zekâsının ve yaratıcılığının enginliği üzerine düşünmeye ve bunları takdir etmeye mecbur bırakır. Çalışmaların hepsinin 2010 sonrasına tarihlenmesi, birçok insanın kırılganlık, şeffaflık ve kişisel alanla ilgili kaygılar yaşadığı günümüz toplumunda cam sanrısının güçlü bir çağdaş yankıya sahip olduğunu düşündürür. Sebebi ne olursa olsun cam sanrısının yakın geçmişte yeniden dirildiği/hatırlandığı açıktır ve bu diriliş, camın öne çıkarıldığı çağdaş sanat pratikleri alanını zenginleştirmiş, ivmelendirmiş ve güçlendirmiştir. Fakat bu, insanlığın değil Avrupa'nın kolektif hafızasına içkin bir hatırlama gibi görünmektedir. Sanki Avrupalı bir travmatik acı, edebiyat ve çağdaş sanat pratikleri üzerinden bugüne musallat olmuştur.

Multilevel Mathematical Model of Epileptic Seizures
Authors: Kondrakhin P.Y. , Kolpakov F.A.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents novel developed modular mathematical model of epileptic seizures, obtained by combining and modifying existing models of epilepsy, which for the first time makes it possible to simulate the dynamics of seizure onset, propagation and termination simultaneously at the cellular and regional levels of brain organization. At the level of individual cells, the dynamics of AMPA receptor trafficking, changes in the concentrations of intra- and extracellular ions, membrane depolarization, and other biophysical processes responsible for the development of ictal activity were calculated. Local field potentials of brain regions were modeled at the regional level taking into account cellular processes and the large-scale structure of the brain network. It is shown that the dynamics of submodels used in the structure of the multilevel model corresponds to the dynamics of the original models, the authors of which validated them with experimental data. The theoretical justification of the connections between submodels was given.
INFLUENCE OF PERCEIVED SERVICE QUALITY ON BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS IN PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) ACCOMMODATION
Authors:   University of Split, Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism, Podrug Doris , Grubišić Dragana
Published: December 2023

In this study, the focus was on exploring the attitudes of Airbnb users in Croatia. The primary goal was to investigate the impact of perceived service quality on users' behavioral intentions, with a particular emphasis on user engagement as a mediating variable. The significance of comprehending the concept of perceived service quality was highlighted, as it can aid in improving service design and development, enhancing service quality, and promoting user engagement, intention to reuse and positive recommendations. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 327 respondents to assess the impact of perceived service quality, expressed through technical, economic, and social categories, users' behavioral intentions, and whether this influence is mediated by user engagement. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SPSS Amos 23.0 software. Our findings indicate that service quality's technical, economic, and social categories directly and positively affect the behavioral intentions of users in peer-to-peer accommodation. Moreover, user engagement was found to mediate between service quality categories and users' behavioral intentions. This suggests that users prefer the security, functionality, trustworthiness, ease of use, financial benefits, advanced information about prices, satisfaction, connection with other users, and the possibility of exchanging experiences, comments and suggestions for improvement, leading to repeated use and recommendation of the service.

This paper examines the relationship between "the house slave effect" and tourist outmigration in most European countries. The outline of this study is set up on the analysis of annual data on homeownership and tenant participants in plan to measure the relationship between housing wealth endowment and outbound traveling, with a panel framework that spans the period from 2007 to 2019. In the present empirical case, this paper examines whether or not there is a significant relationship in the sample of 32 countries by using a panel quantile regression method, a panel SGMM, and a panel OLS regression. Estimation outputs reveal that there is a strong negative trade-off between homeownership and outbound tourism for all quantile levels. This evidence along with the auxiliary SGMM and pooled panel estimation assessment strongly confirm that “the house slave effect” negatively affects outbound tourism. What is more, the results show that tenant rates help to boost the international tourism departures or expenditures per capita. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that it provides the pioneering study of the impact of home ownership on outbound travel in European area. The results suggest that a panel quantile regression method (due to data constraints arising from the skewness of international tourism outbound or per capita expenditure data) should be considered when examining the relationship between "the "house slave effect" and outbound tourism in country panel analyses.
Cyclizations with Nitriles and Isocyanides via Cascade Sequences
Authors:   , Kornfeind John , Fleming Fraser F.
Published: December 2023

[beta]-Oxoalkenenitriles are potent Michael acceptors which react with a variety of nucleophiles to generate complex heterocyclic and carbocyclic molecular frameworks. These core frameworks are embedded within numerous classes of natural products and pharmaceutical drugs making them attractive synthetic targets. As a class, the reactivity of [beta]-Oxoalkenenitriles is akin to that of superglue, [alpha]-cyanoacrylate! Therefore, the challenge has been to develop methods amenable to small molecule synthesis and to circumvent polymerization. The focus of this dissertation is to discuss novel methodologies developed to harness the unique reactivity of [beta]-Oxoalkenenitriles towards the synthesis of highly functionalizes heterocyclic and carbocyclic frameworks with an emphasis on mechanistic perspectives. As such the thesis is a summary of four distinct areas of research. The first chapter is a review, focused on the Lewis acid catalyzed addition of two or more isocyanide molecules in multi-component type reactions. The review surveys the reactivity of isocyanides, reaction conditions and outcomes leading to successful multicomponent reactions. Chapter 2 discusses a first in class multicomponent reaction in which the Lewis acid SiCl4 promotes the conjugate addition of tertiary isocyanides to cyclic oxonitriles triggering a double isocyanide insertion-cascade enabling the rapid assembly of a novel class of 3-acylpyrroles. An analogous addition of tertiary and benzyl isocyanides to acyclic oxonitriles affords 2-aminofurans; which rapidly oxidize to pyrrolidinones upon exposure to air! Chapter 3 discusses a DMSO oxidation-cyclization cascade to generate highly oxidized bicyclic carbocycles. Lastly, Chapter 4 discusses future directions towards the synthesis of formamides promoted by SiCl4. Collectively, the thesis demonstrates several novel methodologies for the rapid assembly of heterocyclic and carbocyclic frameworks initiated by cascade reaction with oxonitriles.

The article deals with model-based methodology for designing automated workplaces with control systems using programmable logic controllers. A categorization of some development methodologies and simulations of automated system control is presented. In the case study, a model of the controlled system is created, which is used for control simulations of the designed control system. The developed control system can thus be tested on this model, and any failure will thus only indicate possible errors in the control program or in the control hardware. Accordingly, it is then possible to modify the control system without the risk of possible damages or disasters. With this methodology, it is possible to implement control system training, especially in the case of dangerous and risky applications.

This paper deals with the kinematic and dynamic analysis of a two-element robot model. We have solved the problem using inverse kinematics. The result is the plotted trajectory of the robot's end point along defined points of the robot's workspace. The angular quantities computed are the rotation angle, angular velocity and angular acceleration in each kinematic pair. Furthermore, an inverse dynamics problem is solved. The moments in the kinematic pairs are computed. Subsequently, using the direct dynamics problem, the correctness of the obtained solution is confirmed. The programs designed for the simulation of dynamical systems - Matlab/Simulink and SimMechanics - were used in the solution. The results are presented in the form of graphs and tables.

Among the key activities of managing an organisation is to be able to make timely and correct decisions. Making the right decision is necessary to ensure the organisation's competitiveness [Lestyanszka 2014a]. Organisations are trying to reduce production costs as much as possible, but this, on the other hand, brings negatives in the form of products that do not meet customer expectations. This phenomenon, however, has other downstream processes that burden the organisation and make it more difficult to continue its activities. These are customer complaints, the cost of eliminating the claimed defects, downtime, etc. [Lestyanszka 2014b, Husain 2021]. Therefore, the successful functioning of any organisation depends on its ability to adapt to changing customer requirements, as these are a priority in the market [Szander 2014, McDonnell 2013]. An effective tool for quality improvement is statistical methods and tools, which are not only advisable but essential to be implemented in production processes. Without systematic quality management, an organisation cannot grow, as it has to combine enormous efforts in developing and introducing new products with maximum quality maintenance of the already established ones.

When manually processing complex contours or surfaces, there is a risk of incomplete or unnecessary multiple processing. The support of such processes with an augmented reality (AR) application will be presented in this work using the example of manual deburring. Firstly, the positions of the component and tool are determined based on camera recordings. For this purpose, approaches for 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) pose estimation will be utilized. Secondly, the correct and complete processing is concluded by further analyzing the extracted data. For example, the distance of the objects to each other. In the third step, the processing result is visualized to aid the worker. Finally, the system is validated through a study. The results show that with the help of image targets a robust recognition of the objects at a normal execution speed and thus process support can be realized.

The process design for the manufacturing of surface structures with functional tribological properties is a major challenge when machining workpieces with freeform surfaces. Distortion effects of the structures and limitation of CAD/CAM-systems require the development of novel technological solutions. The paper presents a new approach for designing the machining processes of functional textures on freeform surfaces. Within the approach, a new bionic motivated type of micromilled surface structures is presented. By stochastically distributing sampling points for the replication of machining commands of individual structure elements, a stochastic surface structure can be produced while simplifying the process design. In this paper, the procedure for generating NC paths on the free-form surfaces of using Poisson-Disk sampling as well as transferring this to a machine-compatible machining program is illustrated. The basic approach as well as the resulting surface structures are further compared with the method of NC-projection and the potentials of the new approach are discussed.

A new method to simulate the varying static receptance of a thin-walled workpiece based on the Cholesky decomposition is presented in this paper. In this method, the system stiffness matrix is updated by subtracting the elemental stiffness matrices of the removed elements from the initial system stiffness matrix. The updated system stiffness matrix is permuted by using a novel method based on element removing sequence and considering fill-in reduction. The Cholesky factor of the permuted system stiffness matrix is reused to compute the static receptance of the workpiece for multiple cutter locations. The reduction of computation time by using this new method is proved by a numerical test and the accuracy of the simulation is demonstrated with a machining test.

Ensuring the quality of energy supply to remote regions is relevant for grid companies and the state. One of the solutions to this problem is the use of renewable energy sources to generate electrical energy. Given this, the article considers an integrated approach to designing combined autonomous energy systems of an individual residential building based on renewable energy sources with the complete replacement of traditional energy carriers. In addition to the combined power system, the proposed solution implies using an insulated facade of the building, which will reduce heat loss by 1.5 times, compared with an un-insulated building. to increase the reliability of the energy supply, the project provides for a wind power plant, a backup diesel generator station and a battery pack with an inverter. Estimated calculations have shown that the probability of failure of the power system of this configuration is 3%. The conducted ecological and economic justification of the use of an autonomous combined power system allows us to conclude that 2.1 tons of conventional fuel per year is saved and the payback of the energy supply system for a period of up to 8 years.

This work aimed to evaluate the possible application of the shiitake production substrate as an additive to concrete, studying its chemical constitution and evaluating the specimens. In the elemental analysis of the substrate samples performed by X-ray fluorescence, the sample inoculated blocks that could not produce (SSP) showed a decrease in calcium, silicon, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc compared to the samples inoculated blocks that were ready to start production (SIP) and blocks inoculated at the end of production (SFP). The concrete mixtures 1:1.5:2.2 and 1:2:3 after 28 days of molding, when 5% of the substrate was added, caused mechanical resistance to compression of 0.19 ± 0.02 MPa and 0.30 ± 0.03 MPa, and absorption of water of 10.17 ± 0.11% and 9.03 ± 0.22%, respectively. With the addition of 1%, it presented 18.87 ± 1.16 MPa and 21.57 ± 0.66 MPa, and 5.58 ± 0.31% and 6.44 ± 0.04%, respectively. Without additive, 28.62 ± 3.45 MPa and 17.28 ± 0.81 MPa, and 6.23 ± 0.11% and 5.44 ± 0.17%, respectively. The interaction between the factors, type of concrete, and substrate concentrations, was significant (p<0.05) only in the tests with 14 days. We conclude that the shiitake substrate can have applications in civil engineering when the drainage characteristics of concrete are necessary. However, validation of these practical applications is required.

Algorithm for link prediction in self-regulating network with adaptive topology based on graph theory and machine learning
Authors: Pavlenko Evgeny Y.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents a graph model of the functioning of a network with adaptive topology, where the network nodes represent the vertices of the graph, and data exchange between the nodes is represented as edges. The dynamic nature of network interaction complicates the solution of the task of monitoring and controlling the functioning of a network with adaptive topology, which must be performed to ensure guaranteed correct network interaction. The importance of solving such a problem is justified by the creation of modern information and cyber-physical systems, which are based on networks with adaptive topology. The dynamic nature of links between nodes, on the one hand, allows to provide self-regulation of the network, on the other hand, significantly complicates the control over the network operation due to the impossibility of identifying a single pattern of network interaction. On the basis of the developed model of network functioning with adaptive topology, a graph algorithm for link prediction is proposed, which is extended to the case of peer-to-peer networks. The algorithm is based on significant parameters of network nodes, characterizing both their physical characteristics (signal level, battery charge) and their characteristics as objects of network interaction (characteristics of centrality of graph nodes). Correctness and adequacy of the developed algorithm is confirmed by experimental results on modeling of a peer-to-peer network with adaptive topology and its self-regulation at removal of various nodes.
LTL-specification for development and verification of control programs
Authors: Neyzov Maxim V. , Kuzmin Egor V.
Published: December 2023

This work continues the series of articles on development and verification of control programs based on the LTL-specification. The essence of the approach is to describe the behavior of programs using formulas of linear temporal logic LTL of a special form. The developed LTL-specification can be directly verified by using a model checking tool. Next, according to the LTL-specification, the program code in the imperative programming language is unambiguously built. The translation of the specification into the program is carried out using a template. The novelty of the work consists in the proposal of two LTL-specifications of a new form — declarative and imperative, as well as in a more strict formal justification for this approach to program development and verification. A transition has been made to a more modern verification tool for finite and infinite systems — nuXmv. It is proposed to describe the behavior of control programs in a declarative style. For this purpose, a declarative LTL-specification is intended, which defines a labelled transition system as a formal model of program behavior. This method of describing behavior is quite expressive — the theorem on the Turing completeness of the declarative LTL-specification is proved. Next, to construct program code in an imperative language, the declarative LTL-specification is converted into an equivalent imperative LTL-specification. An equivalence theorem is proved, which guarantees that both specifications specify the same behavior. The imperative LTL-specification is translated into imperative program code according to the presented template. The declarative LTL-specification, which is subject to verification, and the control program built on it are guaranteed to specify the same behavior in the form of a corresponding transition system. Thus, during verification, a model is used that is adequate to the real behavior of the control program.
Semantic rule-based sentiment detection algorithm for Russian publicism sentences
Authors: Poletaev Anatoliy Y. , Paramonov Ilya V. , Boychuk Elena I.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the task of sentiment detecton of Russian sentences, which is understood as the author’s attitude on the sentence topic expressed through linguistic expression features. Today most studies on this subject utilize texts of colloquial style, limiting the applicability of their results to other styles of speech, particularly to the publicism. To fill the gap, the authors developed a novel publisism sentences oriented sentiment detection algorithm. The algorithm recursively applies appropriate rules to sentence parts represented as constituency trees. Most of the rules were proposed by a philology expert, based on knowledge on the expression features from Russian philology, and algorithmized using constituency trees generated by the algorithm. A decision tree and a sentiment vocabulary are also used in the work. The article contains the results of evaluation of the algorithm on the publicism sentences corpus OpenSentimentCorpus, F-measure is 0.80. The results of errors analysis are also presented.

M. P. Shishkin’s image of Switzerland through the lens of the conceptual metaphor
Authors:   Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov, Tugusheva Elmira F.
Published: December 2023

The article studies the role that the conceptual metaphor plays in reconstructing the image of Switzerland. On the material of the literary and historic guidebook The Russian Switzerland by M. P. Shishkin the semantic and stylistic features of metaphors, which are peculiarly encoded definitions of the author’s conceptual meanings, are described. The goal of the paper is to identify the techniques of how the image of Switzerland is conceptualized in its Russian representation. The metaphor’s modeling role is considered on the language and concept levels, a special meta-meaning of the image of Switzerland is registered; it is related to the author’s self-awareness in the space of the foreign culture, to his attempt to comprehend the history of the 20th century through the lens of the conceptual dialogue of cultures. The author’s metaphorical range was analyzed by means of continuous sampling; further, the systemic character in using metaphors in creating the image of Switzerland was revealed. The connection between metaphor and meta-poetic principles of work is noted, the functioning of metaphor in different discourses, related to the history and culture of Russia, is considered. This research is relevant due to the interest of the philological science to the phenomena associated with the thought processes, in particular, on the example of texts that generate artistic and journalistic elements, an interconnection between the author’s thought and the specific nature of the linguistic representation of conceptual meaning of history and culture can be observed. The author’s principle of “coupling” and “combining” is addressed not only in the organization of the textual space (as a genre feature), but in creating a number of conceptual metaphors, which are essential for the thorough understanding of historical reality, its reference points, truth and fallacies through the lens of a certain individual. In the context of M. P. Shishkin’s oeuvre the meta-literary component of the metaphorical models has a special value (space, mirrors/deflection, artefact metaphor).

Introduction: Male breast cancer (MBC) accounts for around 1% of all breast cancers. However, the incidence & patterns of MBC varies in different parts of the world. Due to the rarity of its occurrence, very few literature are available regarding its peculiarities.
Material & Methods: A total of 119 patients of MBC were included in this retrospective analysis, who were registered in a single regional cancer center in India over 30 years period from 1991 to 2020. Data from all patients were collected to evaluate the spectrum and patterns of MBC concerning presentation, distribution, and clinicopathological characteristics.
Results: Total of 119-patients of MBC were registered in this time. The median age of presentation was 59 years. The right to left ratio was 1.25:1, which indicated that both sides breast was equally affected. Most of the patients (68.1%) presented late in the disease course with locally advanced or metastatic lesions. The majority of breast lesion was central or retro-areolar in location and infiltrating ductal carcinoma histology was found in more than 90% of patients. Estrogen and progesterone receptor positivity was seen in 42.9% and 29.4% of patients, respectively. The most common metastatic site was bone.
Conclusion: Our data regarding MBC patients matched closely with existing literature. However, it is seen MBC patients presented to oncologists in a locally advanced stages; either because of shyness or unaddressed health education. Emphasis should be given to prospective studies to gather more knowledge about the demography and pattern of this rare yet sprouting malignancy

Concrete, a widely utilized construction material, faces challenges related to thermal instability when exposed to fire-induced temperature variations. To address the issue of explosive spalling, common concerns in concrete, polypropylene fibers, recommended by Eurocode 2, are added to the mix. This study aimed to evaluate alterations in physical and mechanical properties of high-performance concrete incorporating various fibers, including polypropylene and palm tree waste as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fibers. The incorporation of palm fibers aligns with the promotion of local materials for their potential affordability due to local abundance. The assessment involved four high-performance concrete formulations tested under high-temperature conditions: SF (silica fume without fibers), SFPP (silica fume with polypropylene fibers), SFDF (date palm fibers with silica fume), and SFPPQS (polypropylene fibers with quarry sand, siliceous sand, and silica fume). Destructive and non-destructive evaluations encompassed compressive strength, flexural strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and mass loss. Experimental tests were conducted at room temperature (20°C) and elevated temperatures (250°C, 450°C, and 650°C). Results revealed a decline in both compressive and flexural strength for samples exposed to temperatures above 450°C. Notably, the inclusion of date palm fibers mitigated mass losses while exhibiting a lower compressive strength.
A APLICAÇÃO DE MÉTODOS ETNOBIOLÓGICOS EM SALA DE AULA COMO UMA PROPOSTA DE ENSINO E FORMAÇÃO DE JOVENS PESQUISADORES NO NORTE DE MINAS GERAIS, BRASIL

No processo de ensino e aprendizagem da etnobiologia é importante que exercitemos, além da teoria, a parte prática da disciplina. Apresento uma experiência de ensino e pesquisa que teve como foco a aplicação de métodos da etnobiologia junto aos estudantes da Escola Família Agrícola (EFA) Nova Esperança, Minas Gerais. A atividade fez parte do meu trabalho como consultora de um projeto de pesquisa durante 2017 a 2019, e teve como objetivo formar os estudantes para que fizessem o trabalho de campo em suas comunidades, tornando-se assim pesquisadores da sua realidade. Em sala de aula, as tarefas tiveram uma boa aceitação por parte dos estudantes, proporcionando o diálogo e a troca de saberes, desafiando-os a questionarem e a refletirem a respeito da importância da pesquisa. O conhecimento prévio dos estudantes foi trabalhado antes que eles fossem a campo, criando condições para que a prática educativa não fosse apenas uma transferência de conhecimentos, e sim a construção destes conjuntamente. Analiso a repercussão deste método de ensino na sala de aula da EFA e a contribuição da pesquisa nas comunidades estudadas, convidando o leitor a refletir sobre a utilização de métodos de pesquisa como ferramentas de ensino na disciplina de etnobiologia.
Challenges of International Adoption in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Duraković Anita
Published: December 2023

Adoption is a special form of family-legal protection of children without parental responsibility, which establishes the parental relationship. We distinguish adoption that takes place within the borders of one country, i.e. internal adoption, and cross-border adoption, i.e. international adoption. The international element can appear in subjects of adoption, i.e. with regard to their citizenship, domicile or habitual residence, and the place of adoption. The focus of the work is the legislative framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina for cases of international adoption, especially the situation of establishing the international adoption of a domestic citizen in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the situation of establishing the international adoption of a foreign citizen abroad in the service of child healthcare and child welfare. Considering the numerous challenges that exist in this matter, the existence of a complete and high-quality normative framework is a condicio sine quo non for successful and legally valid international adoption. In this context, and aware of the importance of the Hague Convention on Adoption from 1993 and the need to harmonize the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the acquis of the European Union and the comparative trends in comparative law, proposals for lege ferenda were made.

Chronic inflammatory pathology of ENT organs is a group of diseases that an otorhinolaryngologist faces daily at an outpatient department. According to modern data, secondary immunodeficiency plays the main role in the chronization of inflammatory processes in ENT organs. For the purpose of correction, it is rational to add immunomodulators to standard therapy. An observational study was conducted on the comparative effectiveness of complex outpatient treatment of chronic tonsillitis and chronic rhinosinusitis using the immunomodulatory drug Galavit in clinical practice. Reliable data were obtained on the effect of the immunomodulator Galavit to increase in the duration of remission in chronic tonsillitis – up to 8 months on average, in chronic catarrhal rhinosinusitis – up to 8.5 months on average, a decrease in the frequency, duration and severity of the course of flu in chronic inflammatory pathology of ENT organs.
Administrative Responsibility for Violence in Sibling Relationships
Authors: Ravnyushkin A. V.
Published: December 2023

Violence between children, including between siblings, is considered as a separate form of family (domestic) violence. The problematic nature of this illegal phenomenon is substantiated based on analysis and generalization of the results of scientific research by Russian and foreign scientists, including sociological and other data obtained by them.

   The aim of the work is to study and determine the degree of public and scientific recognition of the problem of violence between siblings in principal in legal and other aspects, to consider the existence of a basis according to which it is possible to identify it as a separate form of family (domestic) violence in order to improve the organization of the activities of crime prevention bodies.

   The Author applied a dialectical approach to the scientific cognition of social relations associated with the commission of acts of violence between siblings, the method of analysis and generalization of the results of scientific research. The results of the study were the confirmation of the hypothesis about the existence of the facts of committing violence between siblings abroad and in Russia and the demanded need to recognize it as a separate form of domestic violence, as well as the suggestion of an expanded understanding of the object of state-legal protection of individual rights from domestic (family) violence depending on the type of persons attempting to commit it. Not only parents (cohabitants) and other legal representatives of minors act as subjects of family and domestic relations, but also older children who commit acts of violence against younger brothers and sisters. The proposed understanding of the object of administrative and other offences committed in the sphere of family and domestic relations will allow the bodies of law violation prevention to improve the organization of their own activities in the field of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of minors.
