Authors: Lou Yan , Zhao Chenglong , Cao Haotian , Yan Bing , Chen Dingbang , Jia Qi , Li Lin , Xiao Jianru
Published: June 2023

Aims

The aim of this study was to report the long-term prognosis of patients with multiple Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) involving the spine, and to analyze the risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS).

Methods

We included 28 patients with multiple LCH involving the spine treated between January 2009 and August 2021. Kaplan-Meier methods were applied to estimate overall survival (OS) and PFS. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify variables associated with PFS.

Results

Patients with multiple LCH involving the spine accounted for 15.4% (28/182 cases) of all cases of spinal LCH: their lesions primarily involved the thoracic and lumbar spines. The most common symptom was pain, followed by neurological dysfunction. All patients presented with osteolytic bone destruction, and 23 cases were accompanied by a paravertebral soft-tissue mass. The incidence of vertebra plana was low, whereas the oversleeve-like sign was a more common finding. The alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher in patients with single-system multifocal bone LCH than in patients with multisystem LCH. At final follow-up, one patient had been lost to follow-up, two patients had died, three patients had local recurrence, six patients had distant involvement, and 17 patients were alive with disease. The median PFS and OS were 50.5 months (interquartile range (IQR) 23.5 to 63.1) and 60.5 months (IQR 38.0 to 73.3), respectively. Stage (hazard ratio (HR) 4.324; p < 0.001) and chemotherapy (HR 0.203; p < 0.001) were prognostic factors for PFS.

Conclusion

Pain is primarily due to segmental instability of the spine from its destruction by LCH. Chemotherapy can significantly improve PFS, and radiotherapy has achieved good results in local control. The LCH lesions in some patients will continue to progress. It may initially appear as an isolated or single-system LCH, but will gradually involve multiple sites or systems. Therefore, long-term follow-up and timely intervention are important for patients with spinal LCH.

Radiological hip shape and patient-reported outcome measures in healed Perthes’ disease
Authors: Ali Mohammed S. , Khattak Mohammed , Metcalfe David , Perry Daniel C.
Published: June 2023

Aims

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hip shape and mid-term function in Perthes’ disease. It also explored whether the modified three-group Stulberg classification can offer similar prognostic information to the five-group system.

Methods

A total of 136 individuals aged 12 years or older who had Perthes’ disease in childhood completed the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Mobility score (function), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) (function), EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) score (quality of life), and the numeric rating scale for pain (NRS). The Stulberg class of the participants’ hip radiographs were evaluated by three fellowship-trained paediatric orthopaedic surgeons. Hip shape and Stulberg class were compared to PROM scores.

Results

A spherical hip was associated with the highest function and quality of life, and lowest pain. Conversely, aspherical hips exhibited the lowest functional scores and highest pain. The association between worsening Stulberg class (i.e. greater deviation from sphericity) and worse outcome persisted after adjustment for age and sex in relation to PROMIS (predicted mean difference -1.77 (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.70 to -0.83)), NAHS (-5.68 (95% CI -8.45 to -2.90)), and NRS (0.61 (95% CI 0.14 to 1.08)), but not EQ-5D-5L (-0.03 (95% CI -0.72 to 0.11)).

Conclusion

Patient-reported outcomes identify lower function, quality of life, and higher pain in aspherical hips. The magnitude of symptoms deteriorated with time. Hip sphericity (i.e. the modified three-group classification of spherical, oval, and aspherical) appeared to offer similar levels of detail to the five-group Stulberg classification.

Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increased risk of adverse events in patients undergoing joint arthroplasty
Authors: Xu Dongdong , Ding Cheng , Cheng Tao , Yang Chao , Zhang Xianlong
Published: June 2023

Aims

The present study aimed to investigate whether patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) undergoing joint arthroplasty have a higher incidence of adverse outcomes than those without IBD.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify eligible studies reporting postoperative outcomes in IBD patients undergoing joint arthroplasty. The primary outcomes included postoperative complications, while the secondary outcomes included unplanned readmission, length of stay (LOS), joint reoperation/implant revision, and cost of care. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model when heterogeneity was substantial.

Results

Eight retrospective studies involving 29,738 patients with IBD were included. Compared with non-IBD controls, patients with IBD were significantly more likely to have overall complications (OR 2.11 (95% CI 1.67 to 2.66), p < 0.001), medical complications (OR 2.15 (95% CI 1.73 to 2.68), p < 0.001), surgical complications (OR 1.43 (95% CI 1.21 to 1.70), p < 0.001), and 90-day readmissions (OR 1.42 (95% CI 1.23 to 1.65), p < 0.001). The presence of IBD was positively associated with the development of venous thromboembolism (OR 1.60 (95% CI 1.30 to 1.97), p < 0.001) and postoperative infection (OR 1.95 (95% CI 1.51 to 2.51), p < 0.001). In addition, patients with IBD tended to experience longer LOS and higher costs of care.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that IBD is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and readmission after joint arthroplasty, resulting in longer hospital stay and greater financial burden. Surgeons should inform their patients of the possibility of adverse outcomes prior to surgery and make appropriate risk adjustments to minimize potential complications.

Experimental Investigation of Decoupling Effect on the Nonlinearity of Power Amplifiers in Transmitter Array
Authors: Peng Fangyun , Yang Fei , Liu Bo , Chen Xiaoming
Published: June 2023

In a practical compact massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter array, each antenna or subarray is connected to an independent power amplifier (PA) with a modest power capacity in order to avoid the challenging demand of high-power capacity of a single PA for the whole array and to facilitate the power dissipation of the transmitter array. In this case, there is simply not enough space for an isolator between the antenna and the PA. As a result, the array mutual coupling changes the load impedances of the PAs and thus further increases the MIMO transmitter’s nonlinearity. In this work, the decoupling effect on the transmitter array’s linearity is investigated experimentally by using an array prototype with PAs. The mutual coupling of the array can be effectively suppressed using a hybrid decoupling structure. Two continuous-wave (CW) signals at different frequencies are injected into the PAs, and the output signal of each PA is measured via a coupler. The measured results show that with effective mutual coupling reduction, the PA interference is greatly suppressed by up to 16 db and the amplitude of the desired signal is enhanced by up to 10 db.
A Hybrid EMC Testing Facility: Combining Transmission Line and Reverberation Chamber Measurement System
Authors: Chen Kai , Qi Wenjun , Peng Peng , Wang Hailong , Shen Xueqi , Zhao Yongjiu , Xu Qian
Published: June 2023

By combining a transmission line system (TLS) and a reverberation chamber (RC), a hybrid electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing facility is designed and constructed. Generally, the lowest usable frequency (LUF) of an RC is limited by its dimension, which limits the application of RCs for EMC testing at low frequencies. Therefore, to improve the field uniformity (FU) of an RC at frequencies lower than the LUF, a TLS is integrated into the RC. After optimizing the load resistance, length, and width of the TLS, the resonant frequency and electric field spikes of the hybrid system are eliminated. The FU of the E-field in the system is greatly improved in the frequency range of 0-30 MHz. Moreover, using an oscillating wall stirrer in the RC, the FU satisfies the standard (IEC 61000-4-21) above 80 MHz. Results show that combining the TLS and the RC testing system could be widely used for EMC testing in the frequency range of 0-30 MHz and 80 MHz-6 GHz.

Published: June 2023

With the increase wireless communications, many wireless devices and equipment have been invented for special applications, resulting in mutual interference that might destroy the systems or distort signal in-transmission. One of the effective methods to reduce or eliminate interference is to devise a shielding to block the unwanted interference in between the approaching systems, circuits, devices, etc. Thus, shielding and estimation of its effectiveness are very important in order to protect the information devices from potential interference and to improve the performance of information equipment. In this survey, we present the recent developments of the shielding and shielding effectiveness techniques and methods, and give a design for an electromagnetic shielding structure.

Authors: Liu Xin , Zhang Dawei , Li Yingsong , Huang Zhixiang
Published: June 2023

In this paper, a super-broadband (SBB) rectifier using a wideband resistance compression network (WRCN) and harmonic cycling is proposed, simulated, fabricated, measured and analyzed in detail for the harvesting of ambient radio frequency (RF) energy. Meanwhile, impedance compression and matching are achieved to implement the SBB using WRCN and impedance operation networks. Additionally, harmonic cycling structure and bending technology are employed to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and reduce the size, respectively. For demonstration, a prototype of the proposed rectifier is fabricated and measured. The measured results are in good accordance with the simulated ones, indicating that the rectifier can provide high efficiency and ultra-broadband rectification characteristics. A PCE over 50% is realized at 3.5 GHz with an input power range of 6–24 dBm, and a PCE of 75% is obtained at an input power of 18 dBm. The PCE is greater than 50% at 17 dBm with an input frequency of 2.7-4.6 GHz. This work can find significant applications in the development of RF-harvesting.
An Unexpected Journey to State and Self-Regulation of Sexist Advertising in Ukraine
Authors: Davlikanova Elena , Lylyk Iryna
Published: June 2023

Abstract: This article describes the path and milestones of the Ukrainian advertising and marketing industry from embracing a fanatic belief in the primacy of creativity with complete disregard for the consequences of promoting gender discrimination to creating and adopting a progressive state- and self-regulation framework. Those who started the journey did not know how far the road would take them, nor were the results fully foreseeable, though some were hoped for. The focus was on the careful analysis of stakeholders, including the advertising professional community and consumers, and tailored initiatives targeting every separate group. Thus, engagement with professional associations, NGOs, gender studies experts, marketing professors and students, judges, lawyers, MPs, executive state agencies, media, the general population, international partners and organizations allowed achieving the goal in a eleven-year timeframe (2011–2021). Separately we will discuss arguments and counterarguments about regulation as well as four criteria for distinguishing sexist advertising. Our experience might be of interest to those who work on similar initiatives or from the anthropological point of view with interest in the cultural peculiarities that determined approaches to Ukrainian stakeholders, as well as an overall discussion of the ethics vs profits dilemma.

Published: June 2023

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference, bunching of two indistinguishable photons on a balanced beam-splitter, has emerged as a promising tool for quantum sensing. There is a need for wide spectral-bandwidth photon pairs (for high-resolution sensing) with high brightness (for fast sensing). Here we show the generation of photon-pairs with flexible spectral bandwidth even using single-frequency, continuous-wave diode laser enabling high-precision, real-time sensing. Using 1-mm-long periodically-poled KTP crystal, we produced degenerate photon-pairs with a spectral bandwidth of 163.42±1.68 nm resulting in a HOM-dip width of 4.01±0.04 μm to measure a displacement of 60 nm, and sufficiently high brightness to enable the measurement of vibrations with an amplitude of 205 ± 0.75 nm and frequency of 8 Hz. Fisher-information and maximum likelihood estimation enables optical delay measurements as small as 4.97 nm
with precision (Cramér-Rao bound) and accuracy of 0.89 and 0.54 nm, respectively, therefore showing HOM sensing capability for real-time, precision-augmented, in-field quantum sensing applications
A hyperlocal hybrid data fusion near-road PM2.5 and NO2 annual risk and environmental justice assessment across the United States
Authors: Valencia Alejandro , Serre Marc , Arunachalam Saravanan
Published: June 2023

Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants (TRAPs) has been associated with numerous adverse health effects. TRAP concentrations are highest meters away from major roads, and disproportionately affect minority (i.e., non-white) populations often considered the most vulnerable to TRAP exposure. To demonstrate an improved assessment of on-road emissions and to quantify exposure inequity in this population, we develop and apply a hybrid data fusion approach that utilizes the combined strength of air quality observations and regional/local scale models to estimate air pollution exposures at census block resolution for the entire U.S. We use the regional photochemical grid model CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) to predict the spatiotemporal impacts at local/regional scales, and the local scale dispersion model, R-LINE (Research LINE source) to estimate concentrations that capture the sharp TRAP gradients from roads. We further apply the Regionalized Air quality Model Performance (RAMP) Hybrid data fusion technique to consider the model’s nonhomogeneous, nonlinear performance to not only improve exposure estimates, but also achieve significant model performance improvement. With a R2 of 0.51 for PM2.5 and 0.81 for NO2, the RAMP hybrid method improved R2 by ~0.2 for both pollutants (an increase of up to ~70% for PM2.5 and ~31% NO2). Using the RAMP Hybrid method, we estimate 264,516 [95% confidence interval [CI], 223,506–307,577] premature deaths attributable to PM2.5 from all sources, a ~1% overall decrease in CMAQ-estimated premature mortality compared to RAMP Hybrid, despite increases and decreases in some locations. For NO2, RAMP Hybrid estimates 138,550 [69,275–207,826] premature deaths, a ~19% increase (22,576 [11,288 – 33,864]) compared to CMAQ. Finally, using our RAMP hybrid method to estimate exposure inequity across the U.S., we estimate that Minorities within 100 m from major roads are exposed to up to 15% more PM2.5 and up to 35% more NO2 than their White counterparts.

Introduction

International humanitarian aid during disasters should be needs-based and coordinated in response to appeals from affected governments. We identify disaster and population factors associated with international aid appeal during disasters and hence guide preparation by international humanitarian aid providers.

Methods

In this retrospective database analysis, we searched the Emergency Events Database for all disasters from 1995 to 2015. Disasters with and without international aid appeals were compared by location, duration, type of disaster, deaths, number of people affected, and total estimated damage. Logistic regression was used to examine the association of each factor with international aid appeal.

Results

Of 13,961 disasters recorded from 1995 to 2015, 168 (1.2%) involved international aid appeals. Aid appeals were more likely to be triggered by disasters which killed more people (OR 1.29 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–1.64] log10 persons), affected more people (OR 1.85 [95%CI 1.57–2.18] / log10 persons), and occurred in Africa (OR 1.67 [95%CI 1.06–2.62). Earthquakes (OR 4.07 [95%CI 2.16–7.67]), volcanic activity (OR 6.23 [95%CI 2.50–15.53]), and insect infestations (OR 12.14 [95%CI 3.05–48.35]) were more likely to trigger international aid appeals. International aid appeals were less likely to be triggered by disasters which occurred in Asia (OR 0.46 [95%CI 0.29–0.73]) and which were transport accidents (OR 0.12 [95%CI 0.02–0.89]).

Conclusion

International aid appeal during disasters was associated with greater magnitude of damage, disasters in Africa, and specific types of disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and insect infestations. Humanitarian aid providers can focus preparation on these identified factors.
Volatility spillovers across sectors and their magnitude: A sector-based analysis for Australia
Authors: Vo Duc Hong
Published: June 2023

While spillover across equity markets has been extensively investigated, volatility spillover across sectors has largely been under-examined in the current literature. This paper estimates the sectoral volatility using the ARMA-GARCH model and its spillover across Australian sectors on the VAR framework during the 2010–2021 period. We then identify breakpoints in market volatility during the Covid-19 pandemic using a wavelet methodology. We find that volatility spillover across Australian sectors is very significant at 60 per cent from 2010 to 2019, reaching 90 per cent during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The spillover then reverts to its pre-pandemic level in 2021. Consumer Staples and Industrials are the significant risk transmitters, whereas Financials and Real estates are the most significant risk absorbers. Our findings also indicate that Real Estate, Health Care, and Financials record the most significant increase in volatility of more than 300 per cent. Policy implications regarding risk management across Australian sectors have emerged, particularly during extreme events such as the pandemic.

At the May 2023 meeting of G7 nations in Hiroshima, Japan invited eight additional participants. These included the Cook Islands, who represented the Pacific Islands Forum. Whilst it is positive to have Pacific Islands representation at the meeting, the failure of the West to recognize the importance of the wider Pacific Ocean has become a real issue. This extends to western maps and globes which have repeatedly omitted and ‘lost’ Pacific islands creating a series of cartographic absences that have led to misunderstandings and misrepresentations of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific. Island sovereignty, intercultural dialogue and traditional practices and beliefs are crucial components of Pacific cultures and these are key themes which are addressed in the four articles and reports in this issue.

Disaster Vulnerability Taken Away, and Vulnerability as a Restored Paradigm
Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Jun Sung Kon
Published: June 2023

This study analyzed the social characteristics of Japan in interpreting disasters and how the logic of danger and risks is used to cover up the problem of vulnerability in the social context. This study has proved that in fact, safety and peace are ideological concept that exist between disasters, and that everyday life hides the reality of the continuation of disasters. Extending this logic, this study has presented the largest factors that enable disasters to conceal the social vulnerability and prevent people from realizing that in everyday life through a specific keyword, along with their historicity. This has led to the realization that vulnerability is socially created, and paradoxically, it is also an essential factor that helps realize the social structure. Such realization shows that the Japanese society understands danger and risks as 'the same concept' and is subjected to this concept, which has led to the logic of disasters concealing the problems related to class and vulnerability. Consequently, this study suggested that the logic of disasters should be reborn as the culture of disasters and used as a concept to help raise the awareness to rethink social phenomena, especially disasters, through the keyword 'vulnerability.'

This study sought to identify social problems in Busan and find solutions through Busan-type appropriate technology. To this end, in-depth interviews with expert FGI (5 times), in-depth interviews with socially disadvantaged and marginalized groups (elderly, disabled, youth), and in-depth interviews with caregivers/expert groups were conducted. A demand survey was conducted to solve social problems in Busan using appropriate technology. In addition, a demand survey was conducted among the elderly, the disabled, and young people, and found various problems in housing, medical care, and information transmission. We have derived an appropriate technology to solve this problem. First, improving housing, strengthening and disseminating access to medical technology, information transmission. It should help ease interpretation (elder problem). Second, appropriate technology should be used to improve citizens' awareness, guarantee the right to movement, and facilitate emergency medical requests (disability issues). Third, appropriate technology should be applied to make use of vacant houses and use sustainable energy to make housing stable and enjoyable work (youth problem).

O Deficiente Processo de Inclusão de Pessoas com Deficiência nas Organizações
Authors: Silva Maria Elaine Conceição , Andrade Jailza do Nascimento Tomaz
Published: June 2023

A inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho é vista por muitas empresas como apenas uma obrigação legal, após a publicação da Lei nº 8.213/91, também conhecida como Lei das Cotas, que determina que pessoas com deficiência ocupem de 2% a 5% da força de trabalho das companhias com 100 colaboradores ou mais. Assim, esse artigo se propõe a relatar as dificuldades para a inclusão dos PCD nas empresas, identificar necessidades de adequações para bem receber estas pessoas e, também, identificar o turnover dos PCDs. Como metodologia, utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa e o método utilizado nas análises dos resultados foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, para identificar respostas para tais objetivos. Conclui-se que, com a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência, as empresas têm sim um investimento financeiro e cultural, mas também podem ter retorno positivo, principalmente para a sociedade e para o próprio PCD, que sai de dependente de um benefício, para provedor de seu próprio sustento. No final das contas, se bem acolhidos, as PCD têm reais possibilidades de produtividade, tal qual outro colaborador sem deficiência.

ensino de adjetivos
Authors: Souza Juliana Afonso de Paula
Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho foi elaborado no âmbito da disciplina “Estudos Lexicais: teoria e aplicações”, ministrada no verão de 2022 pelo Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Linguísticos (PPGEL) da Universidade Estadual de São Paulo (UNESP), campus São José do Rio Preto. Este pretende fazer uma reflexão de como o ensino de gramática é abordado por um livro didático para alunos do sexto ano, relacionando ao que é proposto pelos estudos linguísticos e comparando com o que é preconizado nos documentos norteadores para a educação básica como os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Para isso, foi selecionada a obra Singular e Plural: Leitura, Produção e Estudos de Linguagem (BALTHASAR, GOULART, 2018), adotada como material didático em muitas escolas públicas. Buscamos analisar a  intersecção entre o que é abordado no referido livro didático, especificamente o tratamento dos adjetivos no que tange o ensino de conteúdos gramaticais, e os estudos do gramático Bechara (2009), estudos linguísticos de Neves (2010), Pinilla (2013), Pinto e Alonso (2012), assim como dos estudos lexicais de Batista (2011), Biderman (2001), Perini (2010) e Polguère (2018) serão o foco de nossos estudos. Esta pesquisa tem  o objetivo de contribuir para o trabalho docente, cujo resultado fornece  ao discente não só conhecimentos gramaticais, mas a aquisição de novos vocabulários sob a perspectiva dos estudos relacionados à lexicologia. A análise desenvolvida neste estudo propõe reflexões  sobre as abordagens e  ações que possam contribuir com o ensino de “adjetivos especificadores” na sala de aula. Com esse intuito, uma proposta de atividades didáticas foi elaborada para apresentar uma nova perspectiva sobre o ensino de adjetivos na Educação Básica, objetivando  valorizar aspectos que vão além das  classificações, e/ou fixação de nomenclaturas, ou seja, evitando apenas o enfoque na metalinguagem, mas observando o funcionamento da língua e propiciando seu  uso social.
Escenarios y realidades en torno a la gestion del agua en Argentina (2000-2022)
Authors: Pérez Ballari Andrea , Cortizas Ludmila
Published: June 2023

Este artículo propone contribuir con un abordaje de la situación actual de la gestión del agua en Argentina retomando un informe del año 2000, elaborado por académicos que alertaron sobre el uso y manejo del agua, los problemas asociados, y además plantearon dos escenarios esperados para el año 2025. Para llevar dicho objetivo adelante, se presentan algunas consideraciones conceptuales, se caracteriza la red hídrica del país, y se realiza una comparación de los escenarios planteados. Con ello, se aborda la situación actual del agua en Argentina, teniendo en cuenta variables como el uso del agua para el desarrollo de distintas actividades económicas, el acceso al agua (disponibilidad, gestión y saneamiento), y los conflictos que se fueron profundizando en los últimos años (2000-2022) ligados al uso y gestión del agua en Argentina.
Introducción: ¿Por qué la democracia necesita de las emociones y de la vida buena?
Authors: García Valverde Facundo , Alles Nicolás , Lariguet Guillermo
Published: June 2023

Uno de los problemas omnipresentes en la teoría política es el de qué tipo de relación debe existir entre el régimen democrático en tanto sistema de toma de decisiones colectivas y las vidas de sus ciudadanos, en tanto seres dotados de fines, metas y deseos. Ya sea desde las concepciones que estipulan que las decisiones mayoritarias pueden poner en riesgo ciertos ideales de buena vida o desde aquellas que creen que el tipo de justificación de las decisiones políticas no puede dar cuenta de los procesos hermenéuticos individuales de búsqueda de significado a la propia existencia hasta aquellas concepciones que consideran que las condiciones para la búsqueda de la buena vida no pueden quedar libradas al desigual poder social o las que consideran que el bienestar individual debe quedar restringido a su compatibilidad con una autocomprensión colectiva de una buena sociedad, la cuestión reaparece incluso cuando se pretende hacerla a un lado. Los textos que componen este Dossier ofrecen diferentes aristas de estos problemas, los cuales vienen siendo tratados extensa y prolíficamente en la obra de Graciela Vidiella. En este sentido, el Dossier también representa un homenaje a su trabajo, algo que se ve reflejado no sólo en los temas tratados sino en que ellos se producen como una continuidad formal de largas conversaciones y discusiones informales que Vidiella mantuvo a lo largo de su carrera con sus amigos y amigas, discípulos y discípulas y estudiantes en general.
Numéro 179 - mai 2023
Authors: Perelman Sergio , Pestieau Pierre
Published: June 2023

Le sentiment de rejet et de mépris, l’absence de perspectives, la défiance à l’égard des institutions et du pouvoir, paradoxalement combinée avec une demande d’autorité, conduisent aux quatre coins du continent à des manifestations de colère sociale. Ces colères s’enclenchent à la suite de décisions politiques ou des catastrophes évitables. On citera l’accident ferroviaire en Grèce, les politiques restrictives des conservateurs anglais, la taxe carbone puis la réforme des retraites en France, la hausse soudaine du coût de la vie en Belgique et les flux migratoires en Italie.

Comment expliquer ces mouvements populistes dans des pays qui consacrent jusqu'à 30% de la richesse nationale à la protection sociale ? Ce numéro de Regards économiques avance l’hypothèse que nos États providence ont négligé la mobilité sociale. Faute de pouvoir rêver d’ascension sociale pour eux-mêmes et pour leurs enfants, de nombreux citoyens épousent des idées populistes et votent pour des partis extrêmes. Cette relation entre populisme et mobilité sociale s’observe avec plus ou moins d’intensité dans les 27 pays qui sont étudiés.

Que faire face à cette situation qui met en péril l’équilibre de nos démocraties ? Il convient d’agir à deux niveaux. D’abord, celui de l’éducation qui reste particulièrement inégalitaire, particulièrement en France et en Belgique. Donner à chacun les mêmes chances de s’éduquer devrait être une priorité. Ensuite, il y a le niveau du marché du travail qui demeure fermé à ceux qui n’appartiennent pas aux bons réseaux. Ici aussi il conviendrait de lutter contre les discriminations de tous genres et les barrières à l’entrée de certaines professions.

Sustainable development of agriculture depends heavily on the efficient utilization of all production factors, such as a reinforcement of physical infrastructure, application of science and technology, industry investment, and innovations. Agriculture plays a key role in the Kazakh economy and its sustainable development defines the country’s economic and political position. Therefore, agriculture has a complex strategic value, and activation of investments and innovations is a defining factor for the sustainable development of agriculture. The purpose of the study is to research the investment as a source and develop proposals to increase the investment for the sustainability of agriculture. The "Data Analysis” package was used for the study in a combination with methods of logical and statistical analysis. The calculations show that the combined impact of factors leads to an increased capacity for sustainable development of rural areas. The expected research results may vary and depend on the stakeholders’ interests. The proposed model will contribute to investment attractiveness, reinforcement of the investment activity and practical investment to agriculture, a high-quality design of investment projects, and personal interest of each agricultural producer in the results of their actions. Altogether, this will provide a significant increase in the economic efficiency of the industry.

The authors propose to use the method of expert evaluations for studying the state of environmental security of Ukraine during the russian invasion of Ukraine as one of the most acceptable from the point of view of a combination of intuitive and rational approaches. In general, the amount of damage caused to the environment of Ukraine during the russian invasion due to various negative environmental events is 224982 million UAH. From the studies carried out, it is clear that the following components are the most problematic for the complex state policy in the field of environmental security of Ukraine: natural resource efficiency policy, environmental policy, licensing and standardization policy. Considering the situation in the field of environmental security of Ukraine during the russian invasion of Ukraine, it is recommended to supplement Ukraine Recovery Plan with the following National programs: (і) reforming public administration in the environmental industry; (іі) climate policy: preventing and adapting to climate change; (ііі) effective waste management; (іv) conservation of natural ecosystems and biological diversity. Restoration and development of protected areas and facilities. The authors underline that intensification of the European integration policy will also contribute to the ecologization of the consciousness of Ukrainians. It is about a more economical attitude of the public towards natural resources, the responsibility of everyone for a clean environment for themselves and subsequent generations.

The goal was achieved solution of the following objectives: analysis of the pharmaceutical industry in Kazakhstan, including within the framework of the EAEU; study of the problem of waste management and approaches to its solution; development of proposals for the management of medical waste processing. In our study we are using the following methodological algorithm of scientific research provision: analytical review of the current situation, conducting a sociological survey, building a management model in the form of a “flowchart” based on the use of a systematic approach. In the result of the provided research, it was proved that the volume of pharmaceutical drugs production is constantly growing and almost does not decrease. At the same time, the development of the pharmaceutical industry has increased the growth of waste. Therewith, the strategy of management must be focused on prevention and reduction of such effect, at finding opportunities for managing, but at the same time so as not have a negative influence on the environment.

Inclusion of Children with Diabetes Mellitus in Czech Schools
Authors: Kudlová Pavla , Skarupská Helena
Published: June 2023

Main topic: To inform teachers of the issue of children suffering from diabetes mellitus (hereinafter DM), and draw attention to the issue of the inclusion of these children within the Czech school system.
Sequence of interpretation: In the first section of the article, we want to focus on describing the disease and its specific features for school-age children. We also want to look at the biopsychosocial aspect of the disease, which is significantly affected not just by the child’s success in the education process, but also by his or her socialisation and enculturation.
Conclusions: Around 4000 children live with DM in the Czech Republic. The task of the school, besides educating its pupils, is also to provide support and secure their health and safety. It is often the case that employees are not given due training with regard to “standard” and “crisis” care for children with DM, and in practice they do not know what to do. This paper aims to inform professional teachers of the biopsychosocial aspect of DM, which is significantly affected not just by the child’s success within the education process, but also by his or her socialisation and enculturation. The conclusion of the article focuses on providing information to teachers and tutors on how to work with and support children with DM in learning and inclusion in class and school life.
