Published: November 2023

The study's urgency is stipulated by the need to clarify the features of administrative discretion in states with different democracy indices (different political regimes) and to describe the verification of compliance with the limits of discretion. The article's purpose is to clarify the correlation between the understanding and administrative discretion boundaries and the type of state according to the level of democratic development. The research is based on the democracy index, determined annually by the Economist Intelligence Unit, according to which states are divided into four types: full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes, and authoritarian regimes. A comparative method, which was used to compare the perception of administrative discretion in Germany and Ukraine as typical states of full democracies and hybrid regimes, is the basis of the research. The article clarifies that administrative discretion should be understood as a way of exercising the powers of administrative authorities, which involves choosing one of several possible options for behavior in a specific case and is carried out in compliance with the rule of law, human rights, principles of administrative procedures, and the purpose of powers; it is substantiated that in the states of hybrid regimes, the institution of administrative discretion is poorly developed, there are no clear criteria for the discretion boundaries, the issue of judicial control over decisions made by uncertain discretion, and there is excessive bureaucracy. The main provisions of the article can become guidelines for hybrid regime states to improve legislation in the area of discretion implementation.

Published: November 2023

The article deals with the issue of introduction of the elements of bilingual education in professional training of future natural sciences teachers. It has been found out that Ukraine has some historical experience of introducing bilingual education in general secondary education institutions. It has been revealed that the main drawback, in this perspective, is the insufficient bilingual training of future natural sciences teachers. The content of the elective course «Science teachers training in US universities» which is taught in English, as one of the means of ensuring a «parity model» of bilingual education for future natural sciences teachers and a «displacing model» has been revealed. Learning of this course involves a dual purpose – the formation of students’ knowledge of the concept of natural sciences teachers training in the United States and (structure, features of the content, forms and methods of science teachers training under conditions of continuous pedagogical education) adaptation of this knowledge to the educational process in Ukraine; formation of intercultural interaction skills. It has been established that the teaching methods which include the use of different doses of assistance during the performance of cognitive tasks and differentiating of their complexity level are effective while teaching this course. The use of such teaching methods allows to provide each student with the optimal conditions for the maximum satisfaction of his cognitive needs and formation of communicative skills. These methods involve a gradual transition from collective forms of work to partially independent and fully independent and performing of the tasks, the complexity of which is growing. The effectiveness of the introduction of the course «Science teachers training in US universities» has been experimentally proved.

Published: November 2023

The trends of cultural studies development in current conditions are analyzed in the article, with the case of Ukraine serving as an example. Cultural studies are gradually being transformed from an abstract sphere of philosophizing into a scientifically significant field. This transformation is supported by the review of candidate and doctoral dissertations, which demonstrate a shift towards applied science. The research in cultural studies adequately reflects the particularity of the current state of scientific practice, characterized by interdisciplinarity that significantly expands its potential for a flexible understanding of cultural practices. This transformation is driven by objective reasons, as the network of educational institutions, creative teams, concert venues, and other organizations in the field of music is the most extensive. It is asserted that cultural mentality, like any other type of mentality, is based on archetypes and embodied in myths. Cultural myths appeal to larger social mythological systems, leading to the transformation of cultural studies into the meaning of culture, which carries the imprint of corresponding chronotopes and worldviews. The current project is rooted in the idea of a total synthesis of cultures based on universals. In contrast, the postmodern project is motivated by the idea of deconstruction and the rhetoric of differences. Consequently, universalistic cultural studies tend to integrate various disciplines at the methodological level and aim to model the totality of world culture. On the other hand, particularistic cultural studies tend to reduce cultural studies to one of the components of cultural studies (typically aesthetics and art studies) at the methodological and subject levels, focusing on the investigation of individual components (genres, styles, ethnicities) of the phenomenon under study. The roots of cultural axiology can be traced back to the archetypal matrix of Greek-Orthodox thinking. It has provided strong traditions of cultural philosophy and its axiological reflection in Ukrainian humanistic thought. The traditional understanding of culture in Ukraine is deeply symbolic, axiological, and sacred.
An empirical analysis of socioeconomic risk factors associated with antenatal care attendance in Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Borsha Faria , Rudra Sujan , Naher Lutfun
Published: November 2023

Maternal mortality and morbidity reduction constitute policy priorities, facilitated by prenatal care and World Health Organization (WHO)-endorsed antenatal care (ANC) utilization during pregnancy. Progress in Bangladesh is hindered as only 47% of expectant women participated in a minimum of four ANC sessions according to the latest maternal mortality survey. This study, utilizing 2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) data, undertakes an assessment of the socioeconomic determinants influencing the utilization or non-utilization of ANC services. Additionally, the study investigates socioeconomic factors significantly impacting the attainment of the WHO-recommended four or more ANC sessions. A Hurdle Negative Binomial Model is employed to ascertain ANC risk variables and their frequency, while the utilization characteristics of WHO ANC services are discerned through the Binary Logistic Regression Model. Noteworthy among the statistically significant determinants influencing the reception of any antenatal care (ANC) in Bangladesh are the sex of the household head, place of residence, wealth index, husband/partner's education, the highest educational attainment of women, decision-making regarding the expenditure of women's earnings, ease of obtaining medical assistance permission, mobile phone ownership, and media exposure. Furthermore, this empirical inquiry reveals that income inequality, the highest educational attainment of women, decision-making regarding the expenditure of women's earnings, distance to health facilities, mobile phone ownership, utilization of phones for financial transactions, and media exposure significantly determine adherence to WHO-recommended ANC guidelines. This study identifies four crucial determinants for the initiation of ANC services and adherence to recommended prenatal care: a pregnant woman's wealth index ranking, highest educational attainment, ownership of a mobile phone, and exposure to media. The findings of this study can aid Bangladeshi healthcare programmers and policymakers in devising strategies to achieve comprehensive ANC coverage for all pregnant women.

The number of work accidents is still very high in several countries, especially in developing countries. The lack of research examining risk factor models for work accidents is still in the spotlight. So that it requires modeling Factors of Work Shifts, Fatigue and Unsafe Actions on Work Accidents at PT PLN Barru, Indonesia. This research is an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional research design. The samples taken were 65 technical workers who were determined using the total sampling method. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test for bivariate and path analysis for multivariate. The findings show that there is an effect of work shift, and work fatigue on Unsafe Action. It was also found that work accidents were strongly influenced by work fatigue and unsafe actions with each P value <0.05. Meanwhile, there was no effect of work shifts on work accidents with a p value> 0.05. The findings also show that together the work shift combined with unsafe action will affect work accidents and work fatigue combined with unsafe action will also affect work accidents with each p value < 0.05. The magnitude of the influence can be seen by the magnitude of the T value, the greater the T value, the greater the influence that occurs. From the model obtained, it is known that unsafe action is a supporting factor in the occurrence of work accidents. The main factor that causes work accidents is work fatigue.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of the capital structure and the ownership structure on the audit committee effectiveness. A sample of 35 service firms and 47 industrial firms that were continuously listed on Amman Stock Exchange during the years 2014 to 2018 with a 388 observation was used. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The independent variables included ownership structure and capital structure, whereas the dependent variable represented by the audit committee effectiveness. A set of variables that formed the effectiveness index were taken into consideration, including the independence of the committee, the independence of its chairman, knowledge and expertise of its members, size of the audit committee and frequency of meetings. The study results revealed that there is a negative significant impact for the concentrated ownership and managerial ownership on the audit committee effectiveness, whereas, the institutional and the foreign ownership don’t show a significant impact. The results also revealed that there is a positive significant impact for the capital structure on the audit committee effectiveness. Based on the results of the study the researchers would recommend that more attention should be given by decision-makers to take the appropriate measures to improve the effectiveness of the audit committees in order to direct the attention of the various investing groups to the fact that these committees are in their interest and that they are already in their service.
Comparative life-history responses of lacewings to changes in temperature
Authors: Paniw Maria , Serediuk Hanna
Published: November 2023

Insects play a crucial role in all ecosystems, and are increasingly exposed to higher in temperature extremes under climate change, which can have substantial effects on their abundances. However, the effects of temperature on changes in abundances or population fitness are filtered through differential responses of life-history components, such as survival, reproduction, and development, to their environment. Such differential responses, or trade-offs, have been widely studied in birds and mammals, but comparative studies on insects are largely lacking, limiting our understanding of key mechanisms that may buffer or exacerbate climate-change effects across insect species. Here, we performed a systematic literature review of the ecological studies of lacewings (Neuroptera), predatory insects that play a crucial role in ecosystem pest regulation, to investigate the impact of temperature on life-cycle dynamics across species. We found quantitative information, linking stage-specific survival, development, and reproduction to temperature variation, for 64 species from 39 locations. We then used multivariate generalized mixed models to assess how much temperature accounts for the covariation in the latter life-history processes. We found that developmental times consistently decreased with temperature for all species. Survival and reproduction however showed a weaker and nonlinear response to temperature, with highest survival and reproduction at optimal temperatures of 24-27 ºC. After accounting for temperature and species-specific effects on life-history processes, the latter covaried consistently across two main axes of variation related to development and reproductive output, suggesting the presence of intrinsic life-history tradeoffs. Such tradeoffs appear to differ to the ones observed in previous life-history analyses on vertebrates because, unlike in vertebrates, higher survival to adult stages is positively associated with faster developmental times. Our work highlights the importance of comparative studies of life-history responses of insects for climate-change and comparative demographic research and points to important knowledge gaps, such as a better assessment of adult survival and dormancy.

Published: November 2023

In an era of widespread digital information exchange, protecting personal data and privacy has become crucial. East African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania have implemented regulatory structures to address these concerns. However, the effectiveness and independence of these structures raise questions, necessitating a comprehensive assessment. Therefore, this study investigates the question of the independence of data protection authorities in East Africa with a particular focus on Kenya and Tanzania. This study was guided by three questions, namely, do the structures of data protection authorities in Kenya and Tanzania affect their independence? Are the data protection authorities in Kenya and Tanzania sufficiently funded to run their duties? And are the tenures of Commissioners of data protection authorities in Kenya and Tanzania secured? The study engaged two approaches: doctrinal legal research methodology, which analyses law in the form of legislation, case law, and international instruments, as well as comparative legal research methodology, which involves comparative analysis of identified criteria from Kenya and Tanzania. It was observed that the Kenyan data protection authority is more independent than the Tanzanian data protection authority.

Published: November 2023

This article reviews the so-called “cobalamins”, with special emphasis on coenzyme B12, discussing aspects of its structure-function relationship as well as various implications in biochemical, physiological and nutritional areas. Despite being one of the micronutrients with the lowest presence in organisms, cobalt (Co) is a constituent part of highly relevant enzymatic cofactors and associated with various biochemical and/or enzymatic processes. Vitamin B12 really represents a focus of interest of a multi- and interdisciplinary nature, since it is a metallic complex, an organometallic compound (for example, in the methylcobalamin form we identify the Cobalt-Carbon (Co-C) bond) and a group of relevance biophysics, as it interacts with different proteins in the biological environment, in addition to its impactful nutritional role, the deficiency of which causes the so-called “pernicious anemia”. This literature review article aims to offer a general and interdisciplinary overview of the topic, covering relevant topics in cobalt chemistry, mainly its coordination chemistry, which have been considered as model systems both for the study of metallic complexes properly considered and for the evaluation of the structure- metalloprotein activity.

Resultados: foram discutidas a qualidade de vida e a percepção do cuidar de si e a interferência da pandemia sobre esse cuidado. Considerações finais: Foi possível compreender que o cuidar de si da pessoa com HAS sofreu interferência da pandemia pela necessidade em enfrentar mudanças no estilo de vida através do isolamento social e sofrer interrupções no cuidado continuado na atenção primária e evidenciam a importância do acompanhamento integral dos indivíduos na APS para a promoção do cuidar de si.

No Brasil, as áreas de florestas plantadas abrangem 54,4% e realizar inventários florestais é fundamental para o Manejo florestal. Os métodos tradicionais de coleta para inventário são trabalhosos e dispendiosos. Uma alternativa tem sido a combinação de dados de sensores remotos e redes neurais artificiais (RNA) como uma abordagem comparativa. Objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a concordância entre estimativas de biomassa feitas por redes neurais artificiais usando índices de vegetação e o método tradicional de inventário florestal. Foi utilizado um inventario do ano de 2011, realizado no município de Rio Verde, Goiás, em um povoamento de Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake, pertencente à Cooperativa Agroindustrial dos Produtores Rurais do Sudoeste Goiano (COMIGO), 23 parcelas amostrais aleatórias de 400 m² foram coletados o diâmetro, altura, volume, e outros parâmetros. As imagens de satélite RapidEye foram adquiridas e índices de vegetação, como NDVI, MSAVI, NDRE e EVI. Redes neurais artificiais foram treinadas e validadas no programa NeuroForest Star, para estimar o volume de árvores por parcela. Os resultados indicaram que as estimativas foram comparáveis às abordagens tradicionais de inventário florestal. Ademais, as correlações variaram de -0,84 a 0,99, com um erro padrão da estimativa relativo (syx %) variando de 0,20% a 16,59%. As diferentes arquiteturas de redes neurais artificiais apresentaram variações nas estimativas de volume, e algumas não se mostraram estáveis na etapa de validação. Entretanto, as arquiteturas dos índices NDRE e MSAVI se destacaram pela estabilidade para estimativas de volume por parcela, demostrando eficácia da RNA como método eficiente e acessível.

A humanidade depende da geração e transformação de energia para sua manutenção e desenvolvimento. Das formas de produção, as oriundas de fontes não renováveis como o petróleo são as mais utilizadas e viabilizadas economicamente. Por muito tempo a geração energética foi uma ação extrativa, que não levava em consideração os efeitos ambientais de longo prazo. No entanto, há alguns anos, muito tem sido discutido no sentido de que é pungente que sejam incorporados aspectos ambientalmente sustentáveis, fazendo uso de fonte renováveis e menos danosas ao meio ambiente. Nesse contexto, o biodiesel tem se mostrado como uma alternativa viável e muito promissora, que além de reduzir as emissões de gases poluentes e causadores do aquecimento global, é um instrumento de inserção de grupos compostos por pequenos agricultores na matriz econômica do país. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as principais demandas referentes à produção, consumo e perspectivas do biodiesel no Brasil a partir de uma pesquisa  qualitativa de revisão narrativa, com enfoque nos preceitos ambientais, econômicos e de governança, que têm sido incessantemente debatidos, em razão das mudanças climáticas e das projeções de esgotamentos das reservas de petróleo.

As novas tecnologias e a mundialização de automação de processos configuram um cenário de mudanças não só econômicas, mas sociais e profissionais. Nesse contexto de transformações globais novas profissões surgem, enquanto outras desaparecem ou são modificadas pelo uso da tecnologia. A sociedade hoje está mais dependente das novas Tecnologias Digitais da Comunicação e Informação (TDCIs) que estão presentes em todos os cenários do mundo globalizado. Diante disso, a escola não pode estar ausente e resistente às essas transmutações que estão a acontecer o tempo inteiro de forma única e sem volta. O uso das TDCIs na educação tem resultados diretos tanto para o professor no que diz respeito a sua prática pedagógica, quanto para o aluno no processo de construção do seu conhecimento. O trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a importância do uso das TDCIs como construção do conhecimento, bem como favorecer um processo de inovação dentro do ambiente escolar. O artigo em questão teve como base metodológica uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório e descritivo, no qual buscamos levantar informações acerca do assunto tema. Procuramos destacar o uso das TDCIs como processo de mudança nos diversos ambientes de aprendizagem e que traz no seu interior algo inovador.

O processo fisiológico da deglutição desempenha um papel vital ao transportar saliva, alimentos e líquidos da boca ao estômago por meio de um reflexo complexo, envolvendo componentes do sistema estomatognático que colaboram com o sistema nervoso central por meio de circuitos neurais no esôfago. Esta função é composta por três fases distintas: preparatória/oral, faríngea e esofágica. Neste contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo principal examinar a fisiologia da deglutição atípica, com base em uma revisão bibliográfica abrangente, abordando suas principais características, causas e consequências dentro do período de 2018 a 2023. A deglutição atípica está associada à posição inadequada da língua e de outros músculos envolvidos no processo. Durante a fase de dentição mista, ocorrem alterações no sistema estomatognático, marcando a transição do padrão de deglutição infantil para o padrão adulto. No entanto, em certas situações, a deglutição infantil persiste após a substituição dos dentes decíduos, resultando na deglutição atípica. Isso pode estar relacionado ao uso prolongado de mamadeiras, respiração oral e alterações anatômicas e do sistema nervoso central. O tratamento eficaz da deglutição atípica requer uma colaboração estreita entre cirurgiões-dentistas e profissionais de fonoaudiologia. Em conclusão, este estudo alcançou uma compreensão mais aprofundada da Deglutição Atípica, incluindo suas possíveis causas, impactos sobre os indivíduos afetados e abordagens terapêuticas voltadas para uma abordagem multidisciplinar.
