Published: October 2022

This article aims to characterize the prevalence and the factors associated with overweight/obesity in college students, through a systematic review. For doing so, the PRISMA protocol has been utilized. Articles about overweight/obesity were selected in college students on the databases of the National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science and Scopus, it was considered the publication period from 2014 to 2019. We found 4,740 articles and 28 met the eligibility criteria. The overweight/obesity prevalence in college students varied from 9.5% to 47.0%. The Odds Ratio was the most used association measure (comparison) in studies. As characteristics that favor overweight/obesity, inadequate diet, income, male gender, low level of physical activity and family history of overweight/obesity are mentioned. The factors associated with protection against overweight/obesity were a healthy diet, regular physical activity and screen time. Finally, this review showed that university students are prone to overweight/obesity, as they have behavioral factors related to inadequate diet, low level of physical activity, income, being male, and sociocultural and family aspects due to a history of overweight/obesity. In counterpart, this review argues that healthy diet and physical activity and reduced screen time represent a health maintenance factor against overweight/obesity.

Children of War: on the issue of providing assistance to children evacuated to the Stalingrad region in 1941 – early 1942.
Authors: Merkureva Vera Sergeevna
Published: October 2022

The object of the study is the social policy of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. The subject of the study is social policy measures aimed at protecting childhood in the period under review. The methodological basis of the article is the principles of objectivity, historicism and determinism, which allow us to consider the content and significance of all the events that took place related to the creation of a system of measures aimed at protecting children, to show the multidimensionality of the events taking place, a holistic historical picture of a specific chronological period, consisting of a set of facts and their interaction. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of measures aimed at evacuating children from frontline areas to the rear, providing assistance to evacuated children's institutions, transferring orphaned children to foster families.   The author draws attention to the changes in the legislative framework, the purpose of which was to more effectively regulate issues related to the provision of assistance to children. The article examines the initiatives of local authorities implemented within the framework of the state policy for the protection of childhood at the initial stage of the war. The materials of the regional archive are introduced into scientific circulation, which allow illustrating issues related to the evacuation of children to Stalingrad and the mechanisms of interaction between the authorities and society in the process of helping children. The author concludes that there are a number of difficulties associated with the placement of evacuated children's institutions and the possibilities of overcoming them, despite the difficult conditions of wartime.
Scientific and technical Development of transtelephone Electrocardiography in foreign Countries during the 60-80s of the twentieth Century
Authors: Vladzymyrskyy Anton Vyacheslavovich
Published: October 2022

In the context of the scientific and technical history of electrocardiography, the development of transtelephone electrocardiography (tele-ECG) remains unexplored - as a set of technical and methodological aspects of remote ECG transmission via telecommunication. This direction played a significant role in medical science and practice in the middle of the twentieth century, in many ways it remains relevant to this day. The task of the study. To identify and systematize the patterns of development of scientific knowledge related to the creation and use of transtelephone electrocardiography technologies in the period of the 1960s-1980s in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia. Results. From the point of view of technical sciences, there were two main trends in scientific research: a) the design of hardware solutions for broadcasting and receiving ECG via cable or radio channels; b) the development of algorithms for computer analysis of ECG. From the point of view of medical sciences: a) clinical trials, including an assessment of the technical reliability of equipment; b) evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of remote (both "human" and machine) interpretation of ECG; c) study of the clinical significance of tele-ECG. When comparing the trends of scientific and technological development of transtelephone electrocardiography in foreign countries, it is obvious that the countries of Europe and Asia follow in the wake of medical science in the USA. In the studies of scientists from Eastern Europe, the influence of medical science of the USSR in the form of the use of tele-ECG in occupational medicine is noted. Conclusions. In the period of the 1960s-1980s, the scientific and technical development of transtelephone electrocardiography took place in many countries of the world, but the activity and significance of these processes seriously differed. The emergence of affordable and reliable technologies for remote counseling, as well as automated analysis of electrocardiography results, has become significant. The overall result was the emergence of clinically significant remote diagnostics techniques and new models of medical care organization based on them.
Identifying chemistry students’ baseline systems thinking skills when constructing systems for a topic on climate change
Authors: Szozda Alisha R. , Mahaffy Peter G. , Flynn Alison B.
Published: October 2022

Recently, increased attention towards systems thinking (ST) in chemistry education has aimed to bridge disciplines and equip citizens and scientists with skills needed to address global challenges such as sustainability and climate change. As a result, new resources have emerged for educators to implement systems thinking in chemistry education (STICE), including a proposed set of ST skills. While these efforts aim to make ST implementation easier, little is known about how to assess these skills in a chemistry context. Additionally, there are no studies that have investigated how chemistry students naturally engage with ST learning activities; such information would guide educators about where to place emphasis when teaching ST skills. In this study, we investigated ST skills employed by students who constructed visual representations (systems) of a topic related to climate change. Eighteen undergraduate chemistry students from first- to third-year participated in this study. We designed and implemented a ST intervention to capture how students engaged with three ST tasks, performed individually and collaboratively. In our analysis, we assessed eleven ST skills that aligned with the five characteristics of STICE proposed by York and Orgill. We found that most participants demonstrated these ST skills when assessing ST skills exactly as articulated in the literature. When further investigating the extent that participants demonstrated these skills, we identified aspects of these skills that participants did and did not demonstrate. We found that (1) participants’ systems lacked concepts and connections at the submicroscopic level, (2) participants’ systems included multiple types of connections in their systems but few circular loops and causal connections, (3) participants predicted how their systems changed over time but lacked multicomponent causal reasoning, and (4) participants’ systems demonstrated the breadth of connections but did not consider human connections to the underlying chemistry of climate change topics. These findings identify aspects of ST where chemistry educators need to place emphasis when teaching ST skills to chemistry students and when guiding learning activities and other assessments. Using our findings, we created a ST rubric for the chemistry community as a tool for assessing ST skills.
Effects of Intramolecular Group and Solvent on Vibrational Coupling Modes and Strengths of Fermi Resonances in Aryl Azides: A DFT Study of 4-Azidotolune and 4-Azido-N-Phenylmaleimide
Authors: Perera Sathya , Aikawa Tenyu , Shaner Sarah , Moran Sean , Wang Lichang
Published: October 2022

The high transition dipole strength of the azide asymmetric stretch makes aryl azides good candidates as vibrational probes (VPs). However, aryl azides have complex absorption profiles due to Fermi resonances (FRs). Understanding the origin and the vibrational modes involved in FRs of aryl azides is critically important towards developing them as VPs for studies of protein structures and structural changes in response to the surroundings. As such, we studied vibrational couplings in 4-azidotolune and 4-azido-N-phenylmaleimide in two solvents, N,N-dimentylacetamide and tetrahydrofuran, to explore the origin and the effects of intramolecular group and solvent on the FRs of aryl azides using density functional theory (DFT) calculations with B3LYP functional and seven basis sets, 6-31G(d,p), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-31++G(d,p), 6-311G(d,p), 6-311+G(d,p), 6-311++G(d,p), and 6-311++G(df,pd). Two combination bands consisting of the azide symmetric stretch and another mode form strong FRs with the azide asymmetric stretch for both molecules. The FR profile has been altered by replacing the methyl group with maleimide. Solvent changes the relative peak position and intensity more significantly for 4-azido-N-phenylmaleimide, which makes it a more sensitive VP. Furthermore, the DFT results from different basis sets can be used to predict more reliable vibrational spectra.
LAKATOS AND THE ASSUMPTION OF THE NEUTRALITY OF MONEY IN NEOCLASSICAL ECONOMICS
Authors: Schiefeling Marla
Published: October 2022

Using Imre Lakatos’ concepts concerning research programmes, it is shown that the assumption of the neutrality of money belongs to the hard core of neoclassical economics. This conclusion is based on the interrelation of the concept of the neutrality of money and that of efficient equilibria, a key notion of neoclassical economics. By showing that utility-maximizing equilibria determined by the private market do not necessarily exist if money is not assumed to be neutral, I prove that the neutrality of money is a necessary assumption for the existence of efficient equilibria. Furthermore, it will be shown that unscientific ad hoc modifications are utilized to protect this assumption, and that the research programme of neoclassical economics is hence degenerating.
TAUGHT NOT TO TRUST

Published: October 2022

For many years, Slovakia has been struggling with low voter turnout and a disengaged public. At the same time, there are concerns that the current education system is not equipping students with skills relevant to their lives. This paper examines the passive way civic education is taught in Slovakia and the influence it has on the political behavior of youth. The paper concludes that the education also promotes a passive political culture. At the end, the paper proposes an educational reform that could improve political participation for the new generation.
GENDER TRANSITION AS SELF-REALISATION IN LATER LIFE
Authors: Jackaman Erick Garcia
Published: October 2022

Trans experiences of ageing have, so far, been minimally explored in academic literature; however, older Trans people who have transitioned in later life have much to offer the fields of both Trans Studies and Cultural Gerontology. By drawing on an interview with Jenny-Anne Bishop, a 72-year-old Trans woman, this study suggests that Trans ageing experiences are not adequately accounted for by dominant cultural narratives of ageing, notably decline and age-defying narratives, and instead proposes Laceulle and Baars’ (2014) framework of self-realisation as a suitable alternative. Concurrently, this study serves as an empirical illustration of how self-realisation as a framework for meaning attribution in later life can be applied.
KILLER ROBOTS IN CONFLICT
Authors: Westerhove Finja Marie
Published: October 2022

In light of the fast pace of technological advancement in warfare, this paper is concerned about the moral implications of the use of artificial intelligence in the weaponry industry. Specifically, it provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the application of lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) in conflict. The concepts of techno-moral implications of Swierstra (2015) and techno-moral boundaries of Kamphof (2017) are applied to the case of LAWS in warfare and provide insights into future changes of morals in war. The key results of this method suggests that LAWS in warfare threaten to erase moral virtues and cause a shift to a less humane reality of war.
WHEN THE POOR WELCOME THE PERSECUTED
Authors: Hahn Ada Sophia
Published: October 2022

While a ‘burden narrative’ dominates the popular and political discourse regarding the economic impact of refugees, scholars increasingly recognize their economic potential. One such scholar is economist Philippe Legrain who argues that welcoming refugees constitutes “a humanitarian investment that yields economic dividends” (Legrain, 2016, p.1). This paper investigates the validity of such claim in the context of low-income host countries via a comparative analysis of Tanzania and Uganda. The hypotheses derived of Legrain’s work confirm that low-income countries benefit economically as refugees improve market conditions by spurring demand, trade, and entrepreneurialism. Certain policies can strengthen such potential if prioritizing the right to work, freedom of movement and assistance programs encouraging entrepreneurialism. Doing so allows refugees and hosts to mutually benefit rather than to compete for economic opportunities.

Uveal melanoma (UM), the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults, has been extensively characterized by omics technologies during the last 5 yr. Despite the discovery of gene signatures, the molecular actors driving cancer aggressiveness are not fully understood, and UM is still associated with very poor overall survival (OS) at the metastatic stage. By defining the miR-16 interactome, we revealed that miR-16 mainly interacts via non-canonical base-pairing to a subset of RNAs, promoting their expression levels. Consequently, the canonical miR-16 activity, involved in the RNA decay of oncogenes, such ascyclin D3, is impaired. This non-canonical base-pairing can explain both the derepression of miR-16 targets and the promotion of oncogene expression observed in patients with poor OS in two cohorts. miR-16 activity, assessment using our RNA signature, discriminates the patient’s OS as effectively as current methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a predictive signature has been composed of genes belonging to the same mechanism (miR-16) in UM. Altogether, our results strongly suggest that UM is a miR-16 disease.

El cambio climático es el principal desafío de la humanidad. Entre sus efectos destaca la redistribución del patrón de precipitaciones y tem- peraturas, y en consecuencia, cambios en la disponibilidad de recursos hídricos. En Asia la situación es compleja, ya que se espera una marcada disminución de las precipitaciones en todo el sur del continente, y un incremento en la meseta tibetana, donde se originan los principales ríos: Indo, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irawadi, Salween, Mekong, Yangtsé y Amarillo; que sustentan a más de 3.500 millones de personas de paí- ses como Pakistán, India, Nepal, Bután, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Tailandia, Vietnam, Camboya y China.

No obstante, China en sus planes de desarrollo ha incentivado la cons- trucción de numerosos embalses en sus ríos y mediante el plan quinquenal 2021-2025, proyecta represar gran parte de los ríos que nacen en la cuenca tibetana que son mayoritariamente transfronterizos. Esto genera controversia en el resto de países ribereños puesto que China no ha firmado, ni reconoce, acuerdos multilaterales sobre la gestión conjunta de los recursos hídricos en cuencas transfronterizas. En con-secuencia, la proyección futura de escasez y el control monopólico de China sobre el agua en Asia, plantean la concentración del poder estra- tégico en el continente, pudiendo desencadenar conflictos escalables.

Published: October 2022

Cambios de 100 años en la avifauna del Valle de México, Distrito Federal, México.Se compilaron listas de especies para el Valle de México tanto del siglo XIX como del presente. De un total de 401 especies, 228 se documentaron como presentes en ambos periodos, 111 fueron detectadas solamente por observaciones recientes y 62 fueron detectadas solamente en el siglo XIX. La composición de especies detectada en un periodo y no en el otro fue en general similar (especies montanas, acuáticas y migratorias); sin embargo, varios registros del siglo XIX indican la presencia de una avifauna acuática asociada a grandes lagos. De hecho, 14 especies en esta avifauna acuática están o ausentes o pobremente representados en el centro de México en la actualidad, sugiriendo que el Valle de México fue un área natural única. Las especies exóticas introducidas han sido numerosas en ambos periodos, con un número sorprendente de eventos fallidos de establecimiento de poblaciones.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the juridical implications of making a deed in which there is a forged signature. This study used a normative juridical research method. Based on the discussion, it can be concluded that the juridical implications for the making of a deed in which there is a fake signature is that it can be canceled or null and void because it does not meet the subjective requirements in the form of agreeing the parties and the objective conditions in the form of a lawful cause. In addition, the making of a deed in which there is a forgery of a signature with procedural efforts that are not in accordance with the making of the deed results in the deed being formally flawed.

The Relationship Between Self-Concept and Problem-Solving Skills on Students’ Attitude Towards Solving Algebraic Problems
Authors: Julius Elizabeth
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-concept and problem-solving skills in students’ attitudes towards solving algebraic problems. 377 students were utilized in the study. Two instruments were used to gather data: a problem-solving performance test and a questionnaire on self-concept and attitudes towards solving algebraic problems. The instrument was developed through concept analysis and review of literature; validated by subject matter experts. Lawshe’s (1975) content validity ratio was used to ascertain the validity of the instrument. Reliability of the instruments was established through the utilization of the most common and the best index of internal consistency known as Cronbach’s coefficient alpha. The findings showed based on the three hypotheses tested that there is a significant but negative relationship between self-concept and students’ attitude toward solving algebraic problems (ATPS) and also there is a significant positive relationship between problem-solving skills and their ATPS. However, the findings also indicated that there was no significant relationship between students’ problem-solving skills and their self-concept. It was concluded that schools in collaboration with the Ministry of Education should organize inter and intra mathematics competitions on algebraic problem-solving skills.
