Authors: Mittal Shivika , Mittal Rita , Dhatwalia Prashant
Published: June 2023

Uncontrolled population growth is a global concern. Adoption of family planning is crucial to limiting the unsustainable growth of the population. This exponential growth of the population puts a large stress on the finite resources worldwide. The magnitude of the burden is further increased in developing and underdeveloped countries where there is a paucity of resources. With majority of population in India in reproductive age group, adoption of family planning methods will not only play an important role in stabilizing the population but will also significantly contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. We did the study to determine the prevalence and pattern of contraceptive usage in women attending our OPD in an urban hospital in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.

Published: June 2023

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a serious complication seen in premature babies post treatment which can lead to blindness unless and until it is recognized and treated early. The objective was Objective: to estimate the incidence of ROP in preterm infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and to identify the risk factors which predispose to ROP. : ROP prospective screening survey was performed enrolling all premature Materials and Methods babies admitted to the NICU for a period of six months, with a gestational age of 34 weeks or less at birth and a birth weight of 2000gm or less. Those with a BW>2000g or GA>34 weeks with an unstable clinical course were included in the study as per recent IAP guidelines. The incidence of ROP in our study was 18.6%. Among babies with Results: gestational age less than 34 weeks had ROP incidence 31.1 %. No ROP was found in infants those who had weight of ≥ 2000g. Maximum babies had stage 2 ROP; only 1 baby had stage 1 ROP and all regressed spontaneously. Two babies had stage 3 ROP and required laser ablative therapy. Pearson Chi-Square test showed that there was a significant relationship between the occurrence of ROP and gestational age (P = 0.015) and low birth weight (P = 042) and number of days the baby was exposed to oxygen (p=0.0324). The incidence of ROP in our study was 18.6%. Low gestational Conclusion: age, low birth weight, oxygen therapy, were significant risk factors for ROP. Screening for early identification of retinal damage done soon after birth is important to prevent this blindness.

Rhodes: A Next-Generation OS based on Resource Governance Model
Authors: Wang Changsheng
Published: June 2023

At present, four types of OS kernels are widely available: monolithic kernels, microkernels, hybrid kernels, and exokernels. These kernel architectures are either too tightly-coupled such as monolithic,  or too loose such as exokernels, or have no rules such as hybrid kernels. In recent years, to solve these problems, resource management concept frequently appears in industry and academia. Although resource management concept makes resources in OSes orderly, no existing OSes or software systems can modify and extend management rules conveniently and dynamically.

This paper attempts to unify the ServiceMesh architecture and OSes, proposing a resource governance model that places resources such as applications and hardware into the model. Through unified rule governance in the model, the organization of resources is more orderly and scalable. At the same time, by separating rules from resources, rules in the model are also scalable and flexible. Based on the model, we built Rhodes OS that allows users to modify and extend resource management rules by governance center. We implemented Rhodes on x86-64 and evaluated it. Our evaluation results show that applications performance in Rhodes is equivalent to Linux. We believe that OSes based on the resource governance model will pave the way for a brand new direction in the development of operating systems.

Authors: Piyawardhana Vihanga , Madhuwantha Tharaka , Chandika Lahiru , Bavantha Mahesh
Published: June 2023

Software design patterns are commonly used in software engineering to provide standardized solutions for common design problems. Despite their popularity, there is limited empirical research on the impact of using these patterns on the quality of software code. This study aims to investigate the relationship between software design patterns and code quality through an empirical study. A quantitative approach is used to collect data from a sample of experienced software developers. The study found that the use of software design patterns is positively associated with code quality, as reported by the developers. Specifically, the use of design patterns reduces the complexity of software code and improves its maintainability, which contributes to higher levels of code quality. The study also highlights the importance of experience with software design patterns in improving code quality. These findings have implications for software engineering practice and education and suggest that software developers should consider using software design patterns to improve code quality. 
AdaptEdge: Targeted Universal Adversarial Attacks on Time Series Data in Smart Grids
Authors: Khan Sultan Uddin , Mynuddin Mohammed , Nabil Mahmoud
Published: June 2023

In recent years, deep learning has become an indispensable tool for various applications, including the analysis and operations of smart grids. These models have shown remarkable success in tasks like power quality disturbance (PQD) classification, enhancing the expansion and efficiency of power infrastructure. However, the susceptibility of deep learning models to adversarial attacks has raised concerns about their reliability and security in critical environments. In this paper, we address this vulnerability by investigating targeted universal adversarial perturbations, specifically in the context of time series data. For the first time, we introduce a novel algorithm called Adaptive Edge (AdaptEdge), which effectively deceives deep learning models working with time series data while balancing the trade-off between fooling rate and imperceptibility of the attack to human observers. Our research represents a significant advancement in adversarial attacks on deep learning models for time series data and emphasizes the need for robust and resilient deep learning models in PQD classification for smart grids. Our results demonstrate a fooling rate of up to 90.78%—the highest achieved thus far—while maintaining an optimal signal-to-noise ratio of 3dB and ensuring signal integrity. This underscores the effectiveness and reliability of our proposed method.

A keresdi Bethlen-kastély az újabb ásatások és források tükrében
Authors: Bencze Ünige , Zólya Levente László
Published: June 2023

Keresden, a Bethlen család ősi birtokán található Erdély talán egyik legszebb reneszánsz kastélya, amely számos hazai és külföldi látogatót vonz minden évben, így az egyik legismertebb Romániában. Számottevő ismeretterjesztő írás, művészettörténeti elemzés és történeti mű tárgyalja a kastély és egyben a Bethlen család történetét. Ugyanakkor alig van olyan tudományos feldolgozás, amely összefoglalja az emlékhez kapcsolható viszonylag gazdag írott forrásanyagot, az eddigi régészeti kutatások eredményeit és a ma is álló épületrészletekből levonható következtetéseket. Noha a kastély területén már korábban is zajlottak régészeti ásatások, a kiépülését megelőző udvarházról vagy udvarházakról viszonylag keveset tudunk. Kiemelendő, hogy a korábbi régészeti kutatások és falkutatás eredményei a rendelkezésre álló dokumentáció jellege és a hiányzó publikációk miatt nehezen foglalhatóak össze; de az épületegyüttes történeti és építészeti jelentősége miatt is szükséges felvázolni és közzétenni egy kutatási helyzetképet az újabb kutatások előtt. Ennek a cikknek az a célja, hogy a történeti kutatások és a korábbi régészeti feltárások eredményeit röviden összefoglalva megfogalmazza azokat a kérdéseket, amelyekkel a 2020-ban kezdődött új régészeti ásatásoknak foglalkoznia kell, illetve amelyek a kastély komplex (történeti, régészeti, építészettörténeti) vizsgálata kapcsán felmerülnek.
Sasalakú fibula Szőlősgyörökről
Authors: Sáró Csilla , Varga Máté
Published: June 2023

A Balatontól délre elhelyezkedő Szőlősgyörök határában található régészeti lelőhelyre a Rippl-Rónai Múzeummal együttműködő egyik önkéntesünk hívta fel a figyelmünket még 2020 szeptemberében. Ezután a területen több alkalommal végeztünk műszeres leletfelderítéssel egybekötött terepbejárást. 2020-ban három, míg 2021-ben további négy napon tudtunk kutatni, és várhatóan az idei évben is lesz lehetőségünk pár napot kint lenni a lelőhelyen. A lelőhelyen gyűjtött több száz fémtárgy közül kiemelkedik egy darab, melyet 2021. október 30-án talált Jancsekity Gábor (1. kép). A madár alakú fibuláról már az előkerülés pillanatában is sejtettük, hogy különleges darabnak számít; ezt későbbi kutatásaink bizonyították is. A szőlősgyöröki példányon kívül csupán néhány darab ismert Magyarországról, melyek közül egy példány került múzeumi gyűjteménybe. Mivel erről a fibulatípusról nem született még magyar nyelvű összefoglaló munka, így tanulmányunkban nemcsak a Szőlősgyörökön előkerült sasalakú fibulát szeretnénk bemutatni, hanem annak párhuzamait is.

Borsodivánka-Marhajárás-Nagyhalom bronzkori tell településén 2015 óta zajlanak ásatások. Ennek során 2022-ben egy leégett házrészlet feltárására került sor. A tűz által konzervált épületmaradványok olyan megfigyelésekre adtak lehetőséget, melyek alapján az épület belső kialakítása és az épület falainak díszítése is részben rekonstruálhatóvá vált. A feltárt épületrész a rendelkezésre álló adatok alapján párhuzam nélküli a Kárpát-medencei bronzkor-kutatásban.
Nyugat-Galilea keresztény temetkezései és a helyi keresztény temetkezési hagyományok kialakulása a késő ókorban : Egy új kutatási projekt elé
Authors: Bollók Ádám , Dayan Ayelet
Published: June 2023

Az itt bemutatott új kutatási program az elmúlt egy évszázadban feltárt sírkamrák és temetőrészletek vizsgálatát tűzte ki céljául két, földrajzi értelemben viszonylag behatárolt térségben: az egykor Phoenicia késő ókori tartományába eső Nyugat-Galileában és Caesarea Philippi tágabb környezetében elhelyezkedő lelőhelyeken. Ehhez az Izraeli Régészeti Hatóság (Israel Antiquities Authority) támogatásának köszönhetően számos olyan síregyüttes feldolgozására kaptunk engedélyt, amelyeket ásatóik eddig nem, vagy csak részben tettek közzé. Ezek elemzése egyedi kutatási lehetőséget kínál azáltal, hogy a kelet-mediterrán térség temetkezési szokásainak alakulását egy fél évezreden keresztül mikroregionális szinten követhetjük végig. A vizsgálatoktól a régió pogány, majd kereszténnyé lett lakossága körében a temetkezési szokásrendszerben és a halálról történő gondolkodásban mintegy fél évezred során bekövetkezett változások pontosabb megértését várjuk.
A babarci kora avar kori temető (Előzetes közlemény)

Published: June 2023

A Baranya megyei Babarc határában az M6-os autópálya projekt részeként megvalósuló mérnökségi telep területén 2021 augusztusa és 2022 januárja között előbb próbakutatás, majd teljes felületű megelőző régészeti feltárás folyt. A pécsi Janus Pannonius Múzeum által megkezdett ásatás vezetője Tóth Zsolt volt. A megelőző feltárásba Gallina Zsolt és Gulyás Gyöngyi irányításával az Ásatárs Kft. is bekapcsolódott, Neményi Réka pedig munkatársként vett részt a múzeum részéről. A több korszakos lelőhelyen összesen 41 kora avar kori sír került elő, melyekhez további 30 avar kori objektum csatlakozott a valamivel több, mint 3 hektáros, négyszög alaprajzú, összefüggően feltárt területen (1. kép). A teljes beruházási területre kiterjedő temetőrészlet a sírok gazdasága, a temetkezési szokások összetettsége és a sírok alacsony fokú rablottsága miatt a kora avar kor egyik legjelentősebb lelőhelyének bizonyult.
Avar kori halotti leplek
Authors: Básti Zsófia
Published: June 2023

A Kárpát-medencéből kevés kora középkori textilmaradvány került eddig elő; a leletek többnyire rossz állapotú, korrózióval átitatott darabok. Következetes gyűjtésük és vizsgálatuk azonban új eredményeket hoz mind a viselet, mind a kereskedelem és a temetkezési rítushoz kapcsolódó szokások szempontjából. A halotti leplek kérdéséhez érdekes adalékot szolgáltatnak az avar kori temetkezésekből előkerült koporsószegek, -vasalatok és díszítmények, melyek felületén többször is megfigyelhető textilmaradvány vagy -lenyomat, amely elhelyezkedésénél fogva utal a koporsót borító halotti lepel használatára. Ez a szokás figyelemmel kísérhető Belső-Ázsiában, például a hsziung-nu és az ókori kínai temetkezésekben, de nem volt idegen az európai frank és itáliai előkelőktől sem, sőt a néprajzi anyagban is megtalálható. A halotti lepellel borított vagy selyemmel bélelt koporsók tehát számos területen és időszakban voltak jelen, használatukat nem lehet konkrét népességhez vagy időszakhoz kötni. Az összegyűjtött analógiák alapján e szövetek díszesek és értékesek lehettek, azonban a Kárpát-medencei példák nem kapcsolhatók az elithez.

Az ember és a természeti környezet kölcsönösen egymásra ható kapcsolatának alakulása napjaink globális stratégiai kérdése. A tervezett kutatás ennek a dinamikus folyamatnak a múltbéli megértését célozza három Körös-menti mintaterület középkori, folyószabályozások előtti környezeti viszonyainak rekonstruálásával, valamint az itt élő közösségek tájhoz alkalmazkodó vagy éppen annak erőforrásait felhasználó életmódjának, településeinek vizsgálatával. A kutatás fontos célja továbbá, hogy a feltett kérdésekre a választ több tudományág együttműködésével és a korábbi hagyományos régészeti topográfiai adatgyűjtéseket modern, hatékony kutatási technikákkal megújító alkalmazásokkal kiegészítve keresse.
A töki Rossztemplom műemléki helyreállításhoz kapcsolódó 2022. évi régészeti kutatása
Authors: Rácz Tibor Ákos
Published: June 2023

A töki Rossztemplom Pest megye kisszámú Árpád-kori romtemplomai közé tartozik. A mai településen kívül, megművelt földtáblák közé ékelődve jelzi a 13. század végén Tek-nek nevezett falu helyét. Műemléki helyreállítására és régészeti kutatására 2000-ben került sor, de azóta állaga leromlott, belsejét felverte a gaz. A templomrom jelenléte miatt a helyszín fémkeresős fosztogatásnak fokozottan kitett, de a lelőhelyet a mezőgazdasági művelés is folyamatosan roncsolja. Aggodalomra adott okot a templom állapotromlása, amire több, a területen terepbejárást, állapotfelmérést folytató szakember, így a Ferenczy Múzeumi Centrum régészei is felhívták a figyelmet. 2022-ben a Market Zrt. végzett újabb állagmegóvást és környezeti helyreállítást a romterületen. A sikeres romkonzerválásról több hírforrás is részletesen beszámolt, hiszen a Market Zrt. társadalmi felelősségvállalás formájában, saját erőforrásai és munkatársai mozgósításával, példamutató módon végezte a munkálatokat. A romkonzerválást a Ferenczy Múzeumi Centrum rövid régészeti kutatása egészítette ki. Olyan építéstörténeti kérdésekre koncentráltunk, amelyek tisztázása a pontos helyreállítás miatt volt szükséges. A feltárást önkéntesek segítségével végeztük el. Rövid tanulmányunk a feltárás eredményeit összegzi.
Sárkányok a szigeten : Régészeti adatok a Szent Ábrahám monostor és Ráckeve alapításának problematikájához

Published: June 2023

A Csepel-szigeten található Szentábrahámtelke középkori település, a Szent Ábrahám-monostor, valamint Ráckeve alapítása régóta foglalkoztatja a kutatókat; történetük egymással összefüggő kérdésköre a 19. század óta képezi történeti kutatások és viták tárgyát. Ugyanakkor feltűnő, hogy a régészeti leletanyagot, a terepi megfigyeléseket mennyire nélkülözték a korábbi elméletek. Éppen ezért jelen cikk a történeti adatok és a hozzájuk kapcsolódó elképzelések rövid összefoglalása után az új terepi megfigyelésekre és az előkerült tárgyi emlékekre koncentrál az elmúlt hat évben végzett kutatásaink előzetes összefoglalásával.

Development of maximum strength, resistance and body composition
Authors: Cristiano Stechechen Rodrigo , Gemin Vidal Rafael
Published: June 2023

The present study aimed to verify the effects of the use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) in the development of maximum strength, resistance strength and body composition in resistance training practitioners. This research is characterized as applied, with a descriptive field study with a quantitative approach. The intentional non-probabilistic sample was composed of 20 male individuals, experienced in strength training. Participants were allocated into two groups: GU (group of EAA users), and GNU (non-EAS users group). The subjects were submitted to an evaluation of body composition, maximum strength test (1RM) and maximum repetitions test (80%RM). The results found indicate that the use of EAA increases the production of maximum strength and relative strength, causing a moderate increase in fat-free mass. The improvement in performance by its use is not found in the number of maximum repetitions at 80% RM, as well as it does not seem to influence fat mass and body fat percentile.
ReBraiding Frayed Sweetgrass for Niijaansinaanik: Understanding Canadian Indigenous Child Welfare Issues as International Atrocity Crimes
Authors: Couchie Alyssa
Published: June 2023

The unearthing of the remains of Indigenous children on the sites of former Indian Residential Schools (“IRS”) in Canada has focused greater attention on anti-Indigenous atrocity violence in the country. While such increased attention, combined with recent efforts at redressing associated harms, represents a step forward in terms of recognizing and addressing the harms caused to Indigenous peoples through the settler-colonial process in Canada, this note expresses concern that the dominant framings of anti-Indigenous atrocity violence remain myopically focused on an overly narrow subset of harms and forms of violence, especially those committed at IRSs. It does so by utilizing a process-based understanding of atrocity and genocide that helps draw connections between familiar, highly visible, and less recognized forms of atrocity violence, which tend to be overlapping and mutually reinforcing in terms of their destructive effects. This process-based understanding challenges the neocolonial, racist, and discriminatory attitudes reflected in the drafting and interpretation of the Genocide Convention and other atrocity laws that ignore the lived experiences of subjugated groups. Utilizing this approach, this note argues that, as applied to Indigenous populations, Canada’s longstanding discriminatory child welfare practices and policies represent an overlooked process of anti-Indigenous atrocity violence. Only by understanding current child welfare challenges facing Indigenous communities as interwoven with longstanding anti-Indigenous atrocity processes, such as the IRS system, can we understand what is at stake for affected communities and fashion appropriate remedies in international and domestic law.

Durante as atividades foi possível constatar que os alunos possuíam um moderado entendimento prévio em relação à Ciência e à pesquisa escolar, assim como foi observado um aprimoramento na capacidade de realização de pesquisas, com os estudantes ampliando sua compreensão sobre os assuntos estudados, além de perceberem a importância da utilização de fontes confiáveis nas consultas realizadas na internet.
Trabalhando a interface ensino/pesquisa na disciplina de Botânica: relatos de um experimento com briófitas
Authors: Antonio Krupek Rogério
Published: June 2023

O ensino de Botânica é por vezes considerado difícil e desestimulante não somente por parte dos alunos, mas também por muitos professores. Tal desinteresse vem da falta de contextualização dos conteúdos que são trabalhados de forma fragmentada e sem contextualização. Neste sentido, buscamos aplicar uma metodologia diferenciada durante o desenvolvimento do conteúdo “briófitas” da disciplina de Botânica do curso de Ciências Biológicas. Para tanto, foi utilizada uma metodologia científica padronizada para averiguar a capacidade de reidratação de duas diferentes espécies de briófitas (condição poiquilohídrica). O conteúdo foi inicialmente trabalhado de forma teórico/prática com os alunos, sendo que o experimento foi então conduzido utilizando-se do rigor metodológico típico de um experimento científico, com formulação de hipótese e questões a serem respondidas. Ao longo de todo o processo houve participação e interesse por parte dos acadêmicos, que buscaram discutir e compreender os resultados obtidos. Foi possível apresentar, desenvolver e aplicar uma metodologia diferencial capaz de enriquecer o aprendizado dos alunos e tornar a ciência Botânica mais atrativa e alinhada ao cotidiano dos alunos.

Authors: Rodrigues Larissa Zancan , Mohr Adriana
Published: June 2023

Nesta pesquisa, buscamos analisar como professores usam Livros Didáticos (LD) de Biologia em suas práticas didático-pedagógicas. Em um primeiro momento, a investigação contou com a colaboração de 43 docentes da rede pública de Florianópolis, os quais responderam a um questionário. Após a análise das respostas fornecidas, selecionamos uma escola para estudo de aprofundamento, e, assim, entrevistas e observações foram realizadas com cinco professores ao longo de um ano letivo. Com esta pesquisa, percebemos que: (a) LD são usados com frequência nas aulas mediante utilização de estratégias didáticas diversas, sendo a identificação e coleta de informações seu principal papel; (b) o texto principal do livro do aluno, textos em destaque (boxes), imagens e as questões ao final dos capítulos são utilizados com frequência; (c) os professores não seguem a progressão sistemática proposta pelos LD; (d) é praticamente inexistente discussões teórico-metodológicas acerca de LD nas atividades formativas realizadas pelos docentes; e (e) formação, características da profissão, características do contexto de trabalho, características do LD e do PNLD são importantes condicionantes para o uso dos LD. Diante dessas constatações, percebemos que os professores não utilizam LD de maneira integral, apropriam-se desse material de diferentes maneiras, transformando-o em função de variados condicionantes situacionais.

Published: June 2023

O processo de construção do Brasil, a partir do colonialismo, com a escravização dos povos africanos e indígenas, gerou inúmeras marcas de exclusão nestes grupos, assim como o próprio racismo e suas múltiplas formas de manifestações. Por isso, consideramos necessário investigar como o tema é compreendido nas mais diversas áreas, incluindo no Ensino de Ciências. Dessa maneira, neste estudo verificamos as percepções de docentes da área sobre as relações étnico-raciais e as implicações das Políticas Públicas no Ensino Superior a partir de discussões realizadas no episódio online acerca da ‘Racialidade, ensino e pesquisa’, do canal Educação em Ciências UFSM. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e o método de análise utilizado foi a Análise Textual Discursiva. Do processo emergiram duas categorias: a) Inclusão e pertencimento: suas múltiplas interfaces; e, b) Enfrentamento ao racismo: implicações oriundas das desvantagens historicamente acumuladas. De modo geral, a partir da análise constatamos que a percepção dos docentes é favorável ao desenvolvimento das Políticas Públicas no Ensino Superior, pois concordam que contribuem para maior inclusão da população negra, assim como auxiliam no enfrentamento ao racismo e às desigualdades raciais.

Authors: Patonengan Gita Sandy , Mendrofa Fery Agusman Motuho , Hani Umi
Published: June 2023

Background: The high incidence of hypertension among older adults requires the efforts of healthcare workers to prevent complications that can worsen the condition. Hypertension can also lead to anxiety and depression due to a combination of factors, such as a physiological decline in physical condition. One of the non-pharmacological therapies considered for reducing blood pressure, anxiety, and depression is slow stroke back massage (SSBM).

Objectives: The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of SSBM in reducing blood pressure, anxiety, and depression among older adults with hypertension.

Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The research was conducted in March 2023 with 50 respondents aged 60-74. Aneroid Sphygmomanometer, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS) were used for data collection. Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze data.

Results: The SSBM therapy in the experimental group was effective compared to the standard therapy in the control group in reducing blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.

Conclusion: SSBM therapy is an effective complementary therapy for reducing blood pressure, anxiety, and depression in older adults. Therefore, it can be utilized as a preventive measure against complications that may arise in the older adult population.
INFLUENCING FACTORS AFFECTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REPUBLIC ACT 9003(ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT) IN THE PROVINCE OF LAGUNA
Authors: Severina Verna P. Oandasan
Published: June 2023

This study aimed to determine the influencing factors affecting the implementation of Republic Act 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000) in the province of Laguna. It aimed to study the extent of influencing factors, the level of compliance, and the challenges encountered by LGUs in SWM implementation.
The results of the study revealed that the respondents regarded the influencing factors such as institutional, technical, legal, financial, external assistance, and public participation and awareness as very influential to SWM implementation. However, most of it does not significantly predict the level of implementation of RA 9003. Among the challenges experienced by the LGUs, financial or budget insufficiency was the only serious problem identified.
Based on the results of the study, the following are recommended to improve the level of compliance of LGUs with the provisions of RA 9003: the institutionalization of MENR Offices, capacitation of personnel assigned in the SWM section, allocation of sufficient budget for SWM programs and projects, strict enforcement of local ordinances, and conduct of intensive IEC to encourage the community to participate in solid waste management programs.
KEYWORDS: solid waste management, influencing factors, RA 9003
Educating future physicians for francophone official language minority communities in Canada: a case study
Authors: Schrewe Brett , Yeuchyk Tatiana , El Hafid Melanie , Nyhof-Young Joyce
Published: June 2023

Background: Over one million Francophone Canadians live in official language minority communities (OLMC) outside of Québec. Availability and accessibility of linguistically appropriate care to these OLMCs is lacking, resulting in poorer quality of care. To help address this health equity gap, the FrancoDoc program was created in 2015 to identify Francophone/Francophile medical students enrolled at medical faculties that use English as their primary language of instruction and equip them with skills to increase their medical French abilities. Little is known, however, about the affordances and limitations of this educational endeavour.
Methods: Our qualitative instrumental single case study explored participants’ experiences with FrancoDoc, while also examining factors shaping the delivery of linguistically appropriate healthcare services to OLMCs. We conducted semi-structured interviews with medical students from across Canada and thematically analyzed these using a reflexive, inductive approach.
Results: Four main themes were derived from 12 interviews: factors facilitating French language learning; barriers to French language learning; contextual factors shaping linguistically appropriate healthcare provision; and recommendations to improve healthcare education to better prepare learners to provide care to OLMCs.
Conclusions: Medical student participants are highly motivated to engage in educational activities linked to FrancoDoc. Their efforts are nonetheless frequently impeded by barriers such as time constraints, irregular event programming, lack of regular clinical learning opportunities, and lukewarm support from faculties of medicine. If medical faculties are to realize their obligations to the OLMCs that they serve, recognition of language as a specific social determinant of health and more robust institutional supports for initiatives like FrancoDoc are paramount.
ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF THREATS AND CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR POSSIBLE IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE STATE ENERGY SECURITY SYSTEM
Authors: Matiichuk Liubomur
Published: June 2023

Assessment of potential threats to the energy security of the state based on systematic approach allows management structures of all levels (state, administrative, regional, corporate) to realize the following: 1. to choose the right ways for the development of "statehood", taking into account the guarantee of the principles of energy security at all levels; 2. to take the necessary actions and decisions on the part of the authorities based on the positions of compliance with the principles of energy security; 3. to provide the best possible factors, phenomena and trends that can prevent possible obstacles that, by their nature, in one way or another will complicate the process of implementing state programs, observance of national interests of the state in relation to it; 4. to generate ideas for the implementation of various measures (based on the values of national security) aimed at neutralizing both potential threats and those already being implemented in relation to the national security system of the state. It should be remembered that assessing possible threats to the state's energy security system involves identifying possible threats and risks, analyzing threats and risks, and assessing existing threats and risks. In general, to ensure the principles of guaranteeing the proper level of efficiency and effectiveness of the policy aimed at ensuring the proper level of functioning of the energy security system, it is necessary, first of all, to carry out an organized and comprehensive assessment of the leading indicators of possible risks. These current and potential threats may hurt it. This is followed by identifying the main ways to neutralize the above risks and threats or the consequences caused by them. It is necessary to implement periodic analytical measures regarding the situation in the national energy security system (including its system-forming facilities) based on a systematic approach with the obligatory identification of several priority measures that should be implemented first in case of any critical situation. Implementation of the assessment of potential risks and threats to the energy security of the state will allow: to predict the possible situation of the state's energy security following different types, levels, and scenarios of possible adverse developments; to carry out a comparative analysis of potential risks and threats in different periods, both in the past and for predicting future ones; to implement a choice of possible scenarios, as well as the future strategy of the state to ensure compliance with the principles of proper functioning of the state's energy security; to ensure the development and implementation.
Keywords: threats to the security system, consequences for the security system, energy security system, impact of threats to the security system, assessment of possible risks to the security system.

Published: June 2023

The study considers the peculiarities of cargo transportation by road in the conditions of new geopolitical and military threats and indicates the increase in the specific role of this mode of transport in the national freight circulation. It is established that the greater reliability of car cargo transportation leads to an increase in their strategic importance in the conditions of the latest threats not only for the sustainable development of the country's economy, but also for national security. The mathematical apparatus of evaluating the use of road transport when cargo transportation is developed to ensure properly management levels. Two levels of cargo transportation management are considered – a national level of efficiency and the level of efficiency of a logistics company. It is stated that the national level necessitates, first of all, the realization of the problem of reliable transportation of goods. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of a logistics company, it is necessary to analyze its economic indicators. It is proposed to be used as an indicator of the efficiency of freight transportation of national importance to increase the number of non -zero cells of the Boolean matrices in the developed mathematical model. The algorithm for using a group of integral target functions was developed for the enterprise level. For this purpose, a mathematical model of approaching a set of local target functions to their best values on the surface of the integral target function in the parameter space is implemented. For the economical use of the volume of calculating resources, it is proposed to distinguish pseudo static variants of transportation of goods, that is, such parameters of influence which are not significantly changed over time. If changes in time become significant, the introduction of the developed dynamic model is proposed. The developed mathematical model allows not only to solve the problem of finding the best values at the same time for several target functions, but also to evaluate comparatively the options for the use of road transport when transporting goods by the enterprise and to calculate the rank of these options in accordance with the level of their approximation to the best values of the target functions.
Keywords: road transport, cargo transportation, target function, evaluation, mathematical model.
