Validation of the Romanian version of coparenting relationship scale
Authors: Dumitriu Claudia Gabriela , Dudu Alexandra , Butac Livia Maria
Published: February 2022

Studies show that children from divorced families are more likely to experience emotional and behavioral problems, which is why researchers have focused on finding factors that facilitate children's post-divorce adaptation. One of these factors is coparenting. Thus, to measure the quality of coparenting, the Coparenting Relationships Scale (CRS) was developed. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate this scale for the Romanian population. It was used a combination between the procedure of back-translation and the techniques derived from the work of a team, used for adapting the scale for Brazil-Spanish speakers. Data were obtained from a sample of 504 people. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the Romanian translation of the items. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the final factor solution with six subscales and 28 items was considered acceptable, unlike the original version of the scale, consisting of 7 factors and 35 items . The Romanian Version of CRS revealed good internal consistency on all subscales, with coefficients similar to the original scale. The Romanian Version of the CRS can be used by practitioners to assess levels of parental conflict and to design interventions for children.

Se determinaron índices de digestibilidad del tracto total (DTT) en dietas de miel de caña de azúcar del tipo B y harina de soya (67.6/30.4%, base seca), formuladas para contener 0, 5, 10 ó 15% de harina de follaje de albizia (Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth.), brindadas de forma completamente aleatorizadas a 32 cerdos de 30 kg de peso vivo. La DTT de MS, materia orgánica y energía decrecieron significativamente (P=0.001) al aumentar la proporción del follaje en el alimento. La DTT de fibra cruda y FDA mostraron resultados similares (P=0.001), pero no FDN. El cálculo de la DTT de proteína y energía, hecho por diferencia reveló valores de 71.7 y 57.6%, respectivamente, en la harina de follaje de albizia. El consumo de 15% de harina de follaje de albizia en la dieta suministrada en condiciones ad libitum a cerdos de crecimiento, puede determinar cambios perceptibles en los índices de DTT cuando se proporciona a los animales alimentados con dietas de miel de caña de azúcar del tipo B.

Authors: Shin Yun-A , Choi Won-Ho , Kim Jae-Hyun
Published: February 2022

PURPOSE: Muscle strength is often higher when measured on the dominant hand compared to non-dominant hand and there are reports of differences in the mortality rate between left-handed and right-handed people in Korean population. Therefore, it is necessary to longitudinally investigate the effect of the grip strength of the dominant hand on mortality rates.METHODS: Data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) from 2006 to 2016 was assessed and 9,196 research subjects were included at baseline. To analyze the effect of grip strength on mortality rates by measuring that of 1) the right hand, 2) the left hand, and 3) the dominant hand for right-handed and left-handed people analyze the association between grip strength and mental health disorders, generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used.RESULTS: The association between grip strength and all-cause mortality was statistically significant in both hands. When the grip strength was measured with the right and left hands, respectively, the log likelihood ratio test for the Akaike information criterion (AIC) of both hands for mortality was significant (p=.018). When the grip strength for left-handed people was measured with the right and left hands, the log likelihood ratio test for the AIC of both hands for mortality was significant (p=.0009). Taken together, there was no difference in mortality between right-handed and ambidextrous individuals according to the measurement of right-handed and lefthanded grip, but left-handed individuals had a higher mortality according to the measurement of right-handed grip than that of the left hand, which is the dominant side.CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, there was no difference and mortality according to the dominant hand and the measurement of grip strength in the right hand is a better predictor of mortality than the use of maximum or average value after measuring grip strength in both hands.
State and market mechanisms to support eco-investment: the experience of foreign countries
Authors: Maykova Svetlana
Published: February 2022

Research into the issues of ensuring sustainable economic growth without damage to the environment is now becoming more and more relevant. The previously implemented «model of resource-intensive economy» does not allow efficient use of natural resources, increases environmental risks, which, in general, leads to a decrease in productivity, generates additional costs and poses a threat to the country’s competitiveness. Within the framework of the paradigm of sustainable development, a new model of a «green» economy is being formed. In Russia, the transition from an extensive export-raw material model of the economy to environmentally sustainable development and the model of a «green» economy is associated with a reversal of «anti-sustainable» trends. This transformation requires significant investment. However, the difficulties of implementing a strategy for responsible or environmental investment are associated with the formation of the institutional framework and the implementation of state and market mechanisms to support eco-investment. The study of foreign practices in the application of state support measures and the implemented market instruments for environmental investment will determine the most successful experience and the possibility of adapting it to Russian conditions. The purpose of this article is to determine the institutional and market framework for the development of eco-investment in Russia, allowing for both investment and environmental benefits in the context of sustainable development based on the study of foreign experience. The author has carried out a systematic analysis of state and market mechanisms for supporting eco-investment, used in the European Union, South Korea and China, which makes it possible to assess the possibilities of their application in the Russian economy. The toolkit for supporting private investors, aimed at minimizing investment risks and stimulating investment support for «green» projects, has been identified. The study of the practice of eco-investment in Russia made it possible to identify the main obstacles to the development of these processes and identify the key tools for the wider application of eco-investment mechanisms in Russia.

The article examines and analyzes the experience of the World Customs Organization in terms of liberalizing customs procedures to remove unnecessary administrative barriers in the field of foreign economic activity (FEA). Existing and potentially possible problems of interaction of the customs authorities of the Russian Federation with participants in foreign economic activity are considered in detail.
The authors carried out a general and comparative analysis of the impact of the development program for foreign economic activity of the Russian Federation until 2030 on the existing logistics chains of foreign economic activity participants and the final performance indicators for 2020, as well as an assessment of the change in the concept of management of the country’s customs authorities as a factor influencing the development of foreign economic activity in general and manifestation in strategies of multidirectional improvement vectors. Several proposals for improving the mechanisms for liberalizing customs procedures have been proposed for legislative consolidation.
Substantiation of the mechanism for ensuring environmental and technological modernization of engineering and transport infrastructure facilities in cities
Authors: Idilov Ibragim
Published: February 2022

The study found that there is a problem of low efficiency of engineering, transport infrastructure and energy supply of cities. It is revealed that each country is trying to formulate its national goals, in which issues of climate conservation, innovation, improving the quality of education, and the development of green energy are put forward as the most effective tools for their implementation. It is proved that Russia, in order to ensure breakthrough development in the conditions of transition to a new social formation, is making efforts aimed at solving global problems jointly with other countries, which necessitates the creation of modern mechanisms in the field of production process management, based on measures to comply with environmental standards and strict regulation of legislation aimed at rational use of natural resources and environmental protection. It is proved that in order to achieve the national goal of the country, in terms of creating a comfortable living environment, accelerated development of housing construction is necessary, since it acts as a driver of economic development in all reproductive systems. It was revealed that rural housing construction developed most intensively on the territory of the Chechen Republic. It is proved that the growth of housing construction, especially in rural areas, is not accompanied by the creation of a high-quality urban environment.
It was revealed that in Grozny, the area occupied by public highways occupies about 9 % of the total area of the urban area, which is a significant deviation from world standards (at least 25 % of the total area of the cities). The result of the existence of the existing transport system is the presence of «traffic jams», an increase in the time spent by the population when moving, lack of comfort when using public transport.
A set of measures has been proposed that will allow to modernize existing and build new facilities of engineering transport infrastructure equipped with technical systems based on digital technologies. It is established that the construction of infrastructure facilities requires additional sources of financing. The most effective method of attracting investments using the mechanism of public-private partnership is proposed. It is proved that the objects of engineering and transport infrastructure basically have a social orientation, which implies the existence of long payback periods and a low level of profitability. This circumstance imposes additional difficulties on state and municipal authorities to ensure the investment attractiveness of new projects.
Global achievements in the valorization of organic waste for environmentally sustainable development of territories
Authors: Masserov Dmitriy , Kustov Mikhail
Published: February 2022

Increasingly stringent environmental regulations for landfill in the world’s advanced economies, as well as the demand for renewable organic chemicals and fuels, are pushing the manufacturing industry towards greater environmental sustainability in order to improve economic efficiency and meet consumer demand. The author presents that the valorization of food waste is one of the current research areas that has received a lot of attention in the past few years as a potential alternative to the disposal of a wide range of waste in landfills. In particular, it is shown that the development of environmentally sound and innovative strategies for the treatment of such waste is an area of increasing importance in our modern society. Landfilling, incineration and composting of waste are common and traditional waste management technologies. However, they are not suitable for organic waste treatment due to the formation of toxic methane and unpleasant odors, high energy consumption and slow decomposition reaction. Moreover, in the process of decomposition, no valuable product is formed. Rather than recycle and degrade food waste, recent research has focused on its use as an energy source, such as the growing production of bioethanol and biodiesel. Organic waste is also useful for the production of useful organic chemicals (like succinic acid or bioplastics) through biorefining or biotechnology.
The purpose of this article is to summarize recent developments in waste valorization strategies for the sustainable production of chemicals, materials and fuels through the development of sustainable production strategies.

Published: February 2022

According to the Outline of the State Migration Policy of the Russian Federation for 2019–2025, the Government is committed to creating a migration situation in which social and social objectives will be achieved. The economic, spatial and demographic development of the country. This is due to the high level of spatial differentiation between the regions of the Russian Federation on the dynamics of migration processes. According to official statistics, the recent period has seen a mixed trend in migration growth, with sharp declines (in 2018 compared to 2017) and increases (in 2019 compared to 2018). This trend, combined with a significant increase in natural attrition, led to a decrease in the country’s population between 2018 and 2020. over 727,000. people. In order to achieve the objective and meet the challenges of spatial development, it is planned to create conditions for reducing the disproportion in the location of the population through the implementation of various migration policy measures. There is therefore a need to establish a system for geo-information monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of applied decisions when formulating a plan of action to implement the concept of migration policy. This includes follow-up on the implementation of State measures. As part of the definition of the functional requirements of the system, a comparative analysis was made of existing geographic information systems aimed at collecting and processing information on the level of attractiveness of the territories. As well as a tree of problems to reduce the rate of attractiveness of territories was built on the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The Geographic Information System architecture, which defines the structure and interconnection of the system components, is presented.
Russian-Chinese financial cooperation: possibility of large-scale deepening
Authors: Jiaxue Song
Published: February 2022

Today, Russia and China are the two largest developing economies in the world, and they are also comprehensive partners of each other, having close ties and cooperation in political, economic, energy and other fields. In recent years, Russia and China have achieved great results in financial cooperation, but in general the situation is still in its infancy. The large-scale deepening of Russian-Chinese financial cooperation is a common interest and an inevitable trend of the two countries.
In this article, the authors first examined the current state of Russian-Chinese financial cooperation. It is established that the two countries have created a two-level mechanism of cooperation, opened several bank branches and representative offices, developed interbank correspondent relations and bilateral settlements in national currencies are developing rapidly, the share of national currencies in settlements between Russia and China in 2020 reached 25 %, and in 2013–2014 this share was negligible and amounted to about 2–3 %.
The authors also use the SVAR model from the point of view of economic shock correlation to analyze the possibility of large-scale deepening of financial cooperation between Russia and China. It was found that the correlation coefficients of supply shock and demand shock between Russia and China did not exceed 0.2. It is believed that the two countries have basic conditions for financial cooperation, but currently there are no conditions for large-scale deepening of further cooperation in the financial sphere.
In conclusion, the authors recommended deepening Russian-Chinese financial cooperation from the following aspects:
1. Improving the mechanism of financial cooperation.
2. Increasing the level of bilateral settlements in national currencies and promoting the internationalization of the ruble and yuan.
3. Improving the level of banking services and introducing innovations in financial products.
Promising areas of international cooperation in regulatory and supervision in financial markets
Authors: Shkolik Oleg
Published: February 2022

The article examines the problematic issues of state regulation and oversight in the Russian financial market. The dual nature of the Bank of Russia as a Public Federal Institute is considered. From the point of view of the authorities provided for the Bank of Russia to regulate and oversight in financial markets, the thesis of its unconditional qualifications as a state executive body is substantiated. In the context of the functional tasks of the Bank of Russia, the fundamental deficiencies in the organization, regulation and in the immediate implementation of prudential and behavioral supervision are identified and investigated. The regulatory and operational factors of the negative and unacceptable approach of the authorized body are disclosed to the implementation of supervisory powers in the financial market, predetermining the ineffectiveness of the entire state system to ensure and protect the rights and interests of investors in the domestic financial market. The article presents the results of systematization and analysis of data, the formation and operating of which carry out supervisory and law enforcement agencies, the overview of which characterizes the level of law enforcement, legality and financial discipline in the domestic financial market. The aspects of the illegal activities of economic entities in the financial market are considered and analyzed, in the perspective of these specific problems of market functioning and investing on it, the solution of which can be implemented in the framework of the interstate interaction of the competent federal authorities, in order to ensure legal order and financial discipline during implementation financial services. The promising areas of that international cooperation of state regulatory and supervisory authorities authorized in the field of national financial markets are identified, within which concrete recommendations have been developed.
Influence of facing toe condition on the bearing capacity of full-height panel MSE walls
Authors: Xu P. , Hatami K. , Yang G. , Li T. , Liang X.
Published: February 2022

The paper presents a numerical modeling study on the bearing capacity of full-height panel, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls under strip footing using a validated finite element method that is based on upper-bound limit analysis (FE-UBLA). Parametric analyses were carried out to examine the influences that wall facing toe restraint conditions could have on predicted bearing capacity and failure mechanisms of MSE walls when subjected to strip footing load as a function of footing location, reinforcement design (i.e. tensile strength, length, and vertical spacing), wall height, and backfill shear strength. Results indicate that when the footing is placed on the reinforced zone, the bearing capacity is larger for MSE walls that are only free to rotate than those that can slide only. Also, the influence of facing toe restraint condition on bearing capacity gradually decreases with footing distance from the facing toward the retained zone. Additionally, the difference in predicted bearing capacity due to different toe restraint conditions becomes smaller for stronger and longer reinforcement layers. Finally, the foundation failure mechanism (FFM) usually corresponds to a larger bearing capacity relative to the compound failure mechanism (CFM) within the backfill.

Violence against nurses in emergency departments. An explorative analysis of stress, coping strategies and personality Objectives: The aim of this work is to determine the prevalence and type of violence, feelings of stress, stress symptomatology, coping strategies and personality traits and to examine correlations between these variables. Methods: The nationwide survey targeted nurses in accordance with the German Nursing Professions Act who worked in the emergency department. Hospitals with emergency departments were contacted via an electronic cover letter (N = 1479). The online questionnaire included items on the prevalence of verbal, physical and sexual violence, reporting behaviour, perception of stress, stress symptomatology, coping strategies, personality traits and socio-demographic information. Hypotheses were tested with regression analyses. In addition, guided expert interviews were conducted (mixed methods). Results: 250 nurses participated in the survey. Violence against nurses in the emergency department workplace is common, places great stress on most victims and correlates significantly with stress. The central coping strategies of positive thinking, active stress management and social support are above average, but have no influence on the stress symptoms, because affected persons do not talk about experienced violence due to fear, shame and feelings of guilt. Risk factors for experiencing violence are little work experience, victim behaviour and female gender. No correlation was found between personality and experienced violence. Conclusion: Organisations and managers should take more responsibility for this issue, comply with regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and introduce measures for prevention and aftercare in a targeted manner based on a risk assessment involving employees. Patient assaults should be reported to the employers' liability insurance association as an occupational accident. Even if there are no injuries, patient assaults should always be documented confidentially within the company. Employees should be made more aware that violence is not part of their job, reject the role of victim, not be afraid to report assaults and seek help. Keywords: workplace violence – emergency department – coping strategies – personality – health consequences
Local magnitude calibration of seismic events in the West Rand, Far West Rand, and Klerksdorp-Orkney-Stilfontein-Hartebeesfontein gold mining areas
Authors: Brandt M.B.C.
Published: February 2022

Richter magnitudes for seismic events were calibrated for use as a Local magnitude scale in the West Rand (WR), Far West Rand (FWR), and Klerksdorp-Orkney-Stilfontein-Hartebeesfontein (KOSH) gold mining areas. Richter magnitudes are currently calculated from seismograms recorded by local surface cluster networks using tabulated calibration values for Southern California, published in 1958. The Richter (1958) model is incorrect for distances of less than 30 km and should be applied only to crustal earthquakes in regions with similar attenuation properties to those of Southern California. When compared to the South African National Seismograph Network (SANSN), the cluster networks, on average, overestimate seismic event magnitudes by approximately 0.1 of a magnitude unit. A calibrated Local magnitude scale was derived by means of a multiple regression analysis between the Local magnitudes reported by the SANSN and the largest zero-to-peak trace amplitudes measured on the cluster network horizontal seismograms, after modelling the attenuation of the seismic waves as these progress from the epicentre to the station position. Magnitudes reported by individual stations for the same event show a significant scatter around the average magnitude owing to the near-surface amplifications of the seismic waves at the recordings sites. Average magnitude should be estimated using as many magnitudes of individual stations as possible to ensure an accurate estimate. Larger event magnitudes should be compared with those recorded by the SANSN.
Behaviour of Cu, Fe, Ni, and PGMs during leaching of Ni-Fe-Cu-S converter matte
Authors: Van Wyk A.P. , Akdogan G. , Bradshaw S.M.
Published: February 2022

In the mineral processing industry, Ni-Cu-Fe-S converter matte is leached to remove base metals from a concentrate containing platinum group metals (PGMs). We investigated the atmospheric leaching process to develop a better understanding of the leaching behaviour of the base metals (Cu, Fe, and Ni) and the PGMs, in particular Ru, Ir, and Rh with respect to key process variables, acid concentration, and Cu concentration under oxidative and non-oxidative conditions. With oxidative leaching, a higher initial acid concentration resulted in higher Cu, Ni, and Fe extractions, as well as faster leaching reaction rates. A higher initial acid concentration also resulted in faster precipitation of Cu, Ru, and Ir under oxidizing conditions. Under non-oxidative conditions, Ni and Fe extraction was much slower, and the effect of initial acid concentration on Cu precipitation was less pronounced. The initial Cu concentration had a slightly smaller effect on the leaching behaviour of Fe and Ni, as well as precipitation of Ru, Ir and Rh. Moreover, a higher initial Cu concentration suppressed both Ni and Fe leaching and had a slight inhibiting effect on the precipitation behaviour of Cu, Ru, and Ir.

Urban mobility should emphasize enough so that its efficiency encompasses the world population, besides being a notwithstanding factor to smart cities, which are basically the ones who integrate adequate utilization of resources, turn their attention to mobility and to the correct use of energy, with the main goal of improving people´s lives. This paper aims at presenting the importance and need for smart urban mobility to promote an improvement of everyone´s life quality, and a portray of smart mobility worldly scenery, which entirely impacts the cities´ constructed environment, so as so that its management should be efficient and fitting within adequate mobility plans and sustainability. The method used initiates at bibliographic review, followed by some smart cities´ analysis. Next, a qualitative and descriptive study is developed with examples of the main smart urban transportation means present in the world and how countries should fit themselves to the construction of smart cities, promoting life quality to people and adequate surveillance of sustainable development. In Brazil, all cities with more than twenty thousand inhabitants must have an urban mobility plan up till 2022 or 2023, which is equivalent to more than 30% of the country´s cities. According to the United Nations, 68% of the world population will live in urban centers until 2050. Therefore, make the cities smart is primordial, including quality mobility, that needs all people´s involvement, besides government, companies and universities for a successful construction and solidification.

Holistic and individualized interventions for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia
Authors: Naoya Tsukii
Published: February 2022

Since “living well with dementia” is a concept that varies from person to person, the care provided is expected to be customized to the individual needs of each person with dementia. Support is expected to involve shared decision-making between people with dementia and their caregivers, and a comprehensive geriatric assessment within the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health is expected to be conducted to help these persons with dementia realize their goals. Additionally, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle is expected to be regularly implemented to verify the effectiveness of the intervention. Although the disability of the individual with dementia increases as the disease progresses, it is important to support them to live positively by reducing their difficulties in daily living.

Published: February 2022

A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the combustion of two long-flame hard coals from the Republic of Khakassia, pine sawdust and their blends in the air stream, depending on the chemical composition and thermal characteristics of the samples, was carried out. The ignition temperature and the burn-out temperature of the coke residue of the studied samples were determined by extrapolation using the TG and DTG curves. The indices of ignition, burnout and combustion are calculated taking into account the time parameters. The ignition temperature of pine sawdust was Ti = 308 °C, the burnout temperature was Tb = 490 °C. When sawdust was added to the coals, the combustion process of the blend shifted to lower temperatures, and the ignition temperature decreased by more than 100 °C compared to the ignition temperature of the coals. The energy -efficient compositions of blends that ensure their high combustion characteristics are determined

Retos éticos para los administradores en salud en la época contemporánea
Authors: Lopera-Medina Mónica
Published: February 2022

El administrador en salud se ve permanentemente retado por la compleja función que se le atribuye en la gestión de los procesos organizacionales, en contextos sociales complejos. En este ensayo se presenta una reflexión sobre los retos éticos con los que se encuentran actualmente los administradores en salud, derivados de los contextos socioeconómicos de la época contemporánea, así como los relativos al ejercicio de la administración en salud en sus áreas funcionales: procesos administrativos, gestión del talento humano, gestión financiera, dirección de los procesos asistenciales e investigación en salud. La reflexión ética, a partir de diferentes perspectivas, es un camino necesario para encontrar respuestas a las contradicciones morales y discernir arbitrajes complejos del ser (ética ontológica) y del quehacer (ética deontológica), sin perder de vista que la finalidad de la administración en salud es mejorar la salud y la calidad de vida de las poblaciones.

Authors: Estrada Restrepo Alejandro , Giraldo Giraldo Nubia Amparo , Deossa Restrepo Gloria Cecilia
Published: February 2022

Objetivo: Determinar la inseguridad alimentaria y algunas características sociodemográficas asociadas a ella, en hogares de Medellín (Colombia) en los que habitaban adultos de 60 años o más.
Metodología: Estudio transversal, de muestreo aleatorio estratificado, por nivel socioeconómico y localización geográfica (urbano-rural). Este estudio se basó en 935 hogares, en los cuales habitaba por lo menos un adulto mayor. La seguridad alimentaria se midió con la Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria. Se utilizaron la prueba chi cuadrado (χ2) y odds ratio (or), con intervalos de confianza, para determinar la asociación de la seguridad alimentaria con las demás variables; además, se elaboró un árbol de clasificación, con el propósito de determinar la importancia relativa de las variables para explicar la seguridad alimentaria.
Resultados: El 19,2 % de los hogares estaba conformado únicamente por adultos mayores. El 63 % de los hogares evaluados presentaron jefaturas femeninas. La inseguridad alimentaria fue del 55 %, con mayores proporciones en zonas rurales, estratos bajos y cuando se presenta mayor número de personas por hogar (p < 0,05); la inseguridad alimentaria fue más baja en hogares integrados solo por adultos mayores (or = 0,58; p < 0,001), con jefes de hogar de 60 años y más (or = 0,64; p = 0,003) y hogares que no contaban con programas de ayuda alimentaria dirigidos a adultos mayores (or = 0,33; p < 0,001).
Conclusión: Este estudio evidencia una alta frecuencia de inseguridad alimentaria en hogares donde viven adultos mayores; además, la edad, el sexo del jefe del hogar y el que este esté conformado solo por adultos mayores son aspectos determinantes de la inseguridad alimentaria.

La razón de odds de infección en los sujetos con edad entre 51-60 años fue 13,8 (IC 95 % = 3,5-51,5) respecto a la hallada en los jóvenes entre 21-30 años; 12,0 (IC 95 % = 1,8-79,2) en quienes no tienen escolaridad frente a los universitarios; 3,3 (IC 95 % = 1,1-9,9) en las personas sin afiliación en salud, comparadas con las del régimen contributivo, y 8,1 (IC 95 % = 2,8-23,0) en quienes tiene relaciones sexuales con grupos clave versus quienes no refieren estas prácticas.
Conclusión: Se halló una menor prevalencia de infección por T. pallidum en los jóvenes, seguida de los sujetos de población general y fue mayor en hsh. Se identificaron los grupos de mayor riesgo (entre los tres subgrupos estudiados), que incluyen sujetos excluidos de los programas de prevención, con confluencia de factores de riesgo sexual y privación socioeconómica.

Published: February 2022

Objetivo: Presentar y discutir significados y prácticas sobre la paternidad y la masculinidad que se dan en la crianza, y que conducen a la reproducción social de los patrones hegemónicos patriarcales o a la emergencia de formas alternativas de ser hombre en la sociedad actual.
Metodología: Estudio cualitativo con base teórica en el interaccionismo simbólico; el procesamiento y el análisis de la información se efectuaron bajo premisas de la teoría fundamentada. Participaron padres y madres de una institución educativa pública de Medellín; se realizaron 6 entrevistas y un grupo de discusión.
Resultados: Se describen significados y prácticas sobre masculinidades y paternidades que reproducen el patriarcado en el escenario de la crianza, así como otros que tienden hacia formas alternativas o colaborativas de masculinidad. Igualmente, se describen impulsores para el tránsito hacia masculinidades y paternidades colaborativas en el escenario de la crianza.
Conclusión: La crianza posee un lugar determinante en la reproducción del patriarcado, pero engendra, a la vez, la potencialidad de propiciar transformaciones necesarias a favor de masculinidades y paternidades comprometidas con la equidad de género.
COVID-19, a new face with old contexts

Published: February 2022

Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected people’s lives in aspects related to health, the economy, society, culture, education, tourism, etc. Common to all these aspects is “incorporeity” and “tele-existence,” which lend a sense of continuity to our lives. Žižek raised the following question: “What in our system has failed, so much so that the catastrophe caught us completely off guard despite warnings by scientists?” We described the COVID-19 epidemiological surveillance in Mexico, with reflexions of other important authors and the mistakes. For example, a contradictory situation was the creation of an alternative, parallel and centralized system for the epidemiological surveillance of suspected cases of COVID-19 in Mexico; another mistake was to compare SARS-CoV-2 with last pandemic caused by a respiratory virus, epidemic outbreak of measles continued to be monitored in several states at the same time, wrong health policies (especially Latin). This pandemic should serve as a warning and guide the conscience and legacy of subsequent generations.
The COVID-19 Outbreak and National Accounts - Some Remarks on Selected Aspects
Authors: Richter Josef
Published: February 2022

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had severe impacts on the ability of statistical authorities to compile national accounts data in the usual way. There is a lack of usually available primary information and a need to deal with a number of new policy measures taken in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. At the same time, the new situation may be an incentive to reconsider some of the basic concepts of national accounts and the way these concepts are operationalised.
The emphasis of this contribution is laid on the concepts of production and of volume measurement of production. Two examples were chosen: a) the implications of changes in the travel habits, in particular of holders of season tickets and b) the reduced number of spectators allowed in theatrical and opera performances. As shown, the methodological alternatives for dealing with these changes offered in the European legislation might lead to quite different results. The two examples reveal that similar situations are treated rather differently.
The examples also indicate that the methodological alternatives pursue different concepts of production. In order to make adequate use of national accounts, empirical economists need to be well informed about the definitions and processes that lead to the data under usual conditions and in particular under exceptional circumstances such as the COVID-19 crisis.

Purpose. The aim of the study is to identify the features of spatial differentiation of social networking services (SNS) in Ivano-Frankivsk region. The main task of the work is to analyze the spatial distribution of the number of users and the penetration rate of SNS Facebook and Instagram in terms of administrative districts and cities of regional subordination in Ivano-Frankivsk region. Methods. The advertising targeting engine function was used to determine the number of Facebook and Instagram users. The audience criterion was determined by the coverage of the territory. The main indicators of the analysis were the total number of users social networking service, the penetration rate of the social networking service. Results. In the distribution of users of SNSs in Ivano-Frankivsk region the following spatial features were revealed. Concentration of users in the largest cities, especially in the regional center Ivano-Frankivsk (about 40% of Facebook and Instagram users in the region). The number of users is generally proportional to the population in the territorial unit. Among the districts of Ivano-Frankivsk region, a large number of users have Nadvirna, Kosiv, Rozhnyativ, Sniatyn, Dolyna districts. The smallest population (less than 10 thous.) uses Facebook in Tlumach, Bohorodchany, Kalush, Tysmenytsia districts. Low development of social networking services in the administrative districts adjacent to cities of regional subordination. Instagram is inferior to Facebook in terms of development, and its main users are mainly younger people. The territorial users location of the Instagram SNS, in general, shows the same features that are characteristic of the Facebook. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the peculiarities of the spatial distribution of Facebook and Instagram social networking services users in context of administrative districts and regional cities in Ivano-Frankivsk region have been determined. Practical significance. The obtained results can be used to build programs of the socio-economic development of Ivano-Frankivsk region. The penetration rate of social networks can be a kind of indicator of the development of the territory.

Aim. The aim of the article is to study the main classes of residential landscapes of Zdolbuniv, features of their origin, functioning, location, identification of the greatest changes in the natural environment that occurred due to the creation of anthropogenic landscapes and assessment of further development. Research methods and methodology. To achieve this aim, historical sources, cartographic data on the territory of different periods and the city development plan were processed. The combination of field research and cartographic modeling made it possible to identify real changes in natural landscapes due to the development and growth of the city. Results. It was established that the city of Zdolbuniv arose on the territory of natural landscapes of hilly forest plains and valley landscapes of the Ustia River. As a result of human activities, landscapes are completely changed and transformed into different classes of residential. Landscapes of residential and public buildings, industrial and residential, road landscapes are dominated. A significant area within the city is occupied by recreational and water landscapes, whereas the smallest area is occupied by sacred and tafal landscapes. The city continues to develop, but since there is almost no free space left for its expansion, the use of reserve areas within the city and the reconstruction of stagnant facilities are predicted. Scientific novelty. These studies were conducted for the city of Zdolbuniv for the first time, which allowed to track changes in the territory due to human activities and make a forecast of its further development. Practical significance. The performed work made it possible to identify problems of landscape development and correct them in the future for the rational use of the territory within the city. All major classes of residential landscapes were also assessed: their distribution, the area, current status and impact on adjacent complexes.
