ELECTRONIC MUNICIPALITY AS A MECHANISM OF INTERACTION OF THE AUTHORITY AND THE POPULATION
Authors: Kapustyan L.A. , Koroleva E.N. , Mishchenko V.V. , Strizhkina I.V.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the main aspects of the development of a “smart” or “digital city”. To date, the approved “Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017-2030” is being implemented quite fully. Within the framework of the “Smart City” concept, one of its components is identified and considered in the article: “Urban governance”. The authors believe that the human factor in urban management is fundamental. But in the “digital city” system, managers-officials need to use (own) information systems and programs that simplify and make transparent their actions in urban management. Such a tool, according to the authors, is the introduction of the “Electronic Government” system. E-government removes borders and frameworks in communication between officials and the population, makes their work visible and understandable, explains to the population the principles and procedure for the implementation of the activities of the state, region and municipalities. The article considers the economic and other prerequisites that contribute to the need for the use of e-government in urban management.
TYPES OF CONTROLLING IN THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION
Authors: Semina L.A. , Chernysheva O.G.
Published: March 2023

The formation of various types of controlling systems in the management system of industrial organizations acts as the most important economic direction of modern reality, which is primarily caused by the constant growth of difficulties arising in the system of market relations. Controlling acts as a kind of stimulant in relation to managerial processes, which one way or another allows you to «notify» the management of an organization (including industrial) about a potential failure in its work, and the target setting of controlling is precisely to report a «signal» about ongoing changes.

The article discusses the main types of controlling, which are reflected in modern literature. At the same time, it is determined that there is no such type of it as «controlling counterparties», as a result of which the author's definition of this term is formed. It is proposed to understand it as a system that ensures control of customers of industrial products, as well as suppliers, in order to prevent delays in payments, optimize the credit policy in relation to organizations that delay payment, which, in turn, causes additional financial losses associated with the diversion of funds.
A marketingmix-szel kapcsolatos képességek hatása az exportáló közép- és nagyvállalatok versenyképességére
Authors: Stocker Miklós , Pábli Bianka
Published: March 2023

A vállalati versenyképesség a vállalatvezetők mellett a gazdaságpolitikai döntéshozók és a kutatók számára is kulcsfontosságú terület. A Versenyben a világgal című kutatási program ötödik kutatási fázisában a 2018-2019-es felsővezetői kérdőíves felmérés alapján vizsgálták a szerzők a vállalati versenyképesség jelenségét. E tanulmányban a marketingmix-szel kapcsolatos képességek hatását elemezték az exportáló közép- és nagyvállalatok versenyképességére, valamint a versenyképességet meghatározó alindexekre. A vállalati szűkítés után n=119 elemű, méret és export tevékenység alapján reprezentatív vállalati mintán végeztek faktorelemzést, majd a marketingmix-szel kapcsolatos képességekből kialakult faktorok alapján regressziós modelleket számítottak. Eredményeik alapján a marketingmix-szel kapcsolatos képességek szignifikáns pozitív hatással vannak a vállalati versenyképességre, és annak alindexeire egyaránt, ráadásul a versenyképességre és a piaci teljesítményre jelentős magyarázó erővel bírtak a modellek. A választott vállalati populáció okán feltételezik, hogy amikor a vállalat a nemzetközi piacon termékével és szolgáltatásával már helyt tud állni, akkor a termékpolitika inkább képesítő kritérium lehet, míg a kommunikációs politika a fogyasztói igénykielégítés folyamatában szerződéselnyerő kritériumként funkcionál.

Authors:   Jordan University of Science and Technology, Aldalaykeh Mohammed , Bawaaneh Abeer S. , Beam Elizabeth L. , Al-Dwaikat Tariq , Alazzam Manar
Published: March 2023

Background: Healthy lifestyle is important in promoting health and reducing risk of chronic diseases. Nurses’ lifestyle could be affected negatively by working night shifts or always rotating shifts, long working hours and high exposure to work-related stress. Purpose: This study aims to assess nurses’ lifestyle and factors associated with it. Methods: A cross-sectional design with an online survey was used in this study. The sample included 203 Jordanian nurses from four hospitals. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, while dietary habits were assessed using the Rapid Eating Assessment for Participants-Shortened Version. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: Nurses’ mean age was 32.7±5.66 years and on average, they have 8.27±5.63 years of experience. Approximately, 25% of nurses were tobacco smokers. The majority of nurses reported poor sleep quality (n = 174, 85.5%). Approximately, 58% of nurses were overweight or obese and 41.9% of nurses had poor dietary habits. Only 39.5% of nurses reported moderate or high levels of activity. Conclusion: Jordanian nurses’ lifestyle showed poor quality in most aspects. Implications for Nursing: Nurses should be aware of the importance of adopting a healthier lifestyle to prevent possible complications. Nurse leaders should consider the health status of nurses and prevent illnesses by encouraging a healthier lifestyle of nurses. Keywords: Nurses, Lifestyle, Sleep quality, Dietary habits, Nutritional status, Physical activity.
Dietary and Nutritional Practices among Jordanian Patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Authors:   Jordan University of Science and Technology, Gharaibeh Besher A.
Published: March 2023

Background: Assessment of dietary practices for patients with diabetes is essential and should be conducted in an iterative process. Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the dietary practices of Jordanian patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and to assess the effect of socio-demographic characteristics on these practices. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was done using a sample of 310 participants. Data regarding the dietary practices was collected using items that were selected based on literature consensus and empirical works. Eligible patients were screened for inclusion criteria, then invited to participate in the study during their clinic’s visit. Participants were instructed to complete and return filled questionnaires to the RAs. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were done to assess for relationships between the study variables. Results: The majority of the sample did not receive sufficient training (n=181; 60%). 40.6%(n=126) reported following an unhealthy diet more often than a healthy diet. Regression analysis showed that the level of education significantly ((F=33.4; p<0.001) and positively impacted those practices (B=2.2; p<0.01). Females, younger patients and those using traditional therapy tend to do the wrong dietary practices more frequently than their counterparts (B= -7.322; -0.2; -7.8; p <0.01, respectively). Conclusion: Patients should be encouraged to seek proper diabetes training, as this training may boost their adherence to do the right dietary practices. Addressing dietary and nutritional behaviors might be beneficial over measuring a global adherence score, because patient’s practices may vary over time. Implications for Nursing: Nurses should repetitively assess dietary practices, as these practices might not be consistent over time. Further research is needed to explore self-care agency governing decisions and actions that predispose unhealthy dietary practices. Keywords: Diabetes, Diet, Medical nutrition therapy, Practices.

Authors:   The Hashemite University, Alshraifeen Ali , Al-Rawashdeh Sami , Rababa Mohammad
Published: March 2023

Background: End-stage renal disease and hemodialysis treatment are debilitating and progressive and can significantly impact patients’ general well-being and quality of life. Understanding the impact of end-stage renal disease and hemodialysis on Jordanian patients may help healthcare providers improve the type of care delivered. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the quality of life and general well-being of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment and to examine the differences in quality of life and general well-being scores based on participant age and gender. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 203 patients were recruited from different dialysis units across Jordan. Valid questionnaires were used to collect data on quality of life and general well-being, along with a demographic data sheet. Results: Participants scored moderately low on general well-being, with the highest mean for the social dysfunction and the depression sub-scales, respectively. The highest reported score was on the social relationships domain of quality of life, while the lowest was for the physical domain. Age groups significantly differed in their scores of general well-being and all domains of quality of life apart from the environmental domain. Female participants had significantly higher (worse) scores than males in terms of the total scores on general well-being and on somatic symptoms and depression sub-scales of general well-being. Conclusion: It was shown that hemodialysis treatment negatively influences patients’ quality of life and general well-being and interferes with their day-to-day lives. Implications for Nursing: Dialysis nurses play a vital role in monitoring and supporting their patients and might provide an avenue by which they can optimize patients’ quality of life and general well-being. Hence, working with patients to find the best possible care plan may positively impact patients’ lives and health outcomes. Keywords: Cross-sectional study, Hemodialysis, Quality of life, General well-being.

Authors:   Jordan University of Science and Technology, Dalky Heyam , Khraisat Adam , Albalushi Mona , Ibrahim Sara , Ahmed Abrar , Ali Fatima , Ibrahim Reem
Published: March 2023

Background: Eating disorders are disturbances that result in severe and long-lasting abnormal eating patterns and consequences to a variety of physical and psychological components of health. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of risks for eating disorders among Emirati female undergraduate university students at higher colleges in the United Arab Emirates. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional design, a total of 501 university students were recruited conveniently to participate in this study (the response rate was 90%). A questionnaire consisting of demographical and eating pattern sections and the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) (Arabic version) were used and shared online with the university students using Google Forms. This study was conducted in the spring semester of 2020/2021. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized. Results: The prevalence of female university students with risks of eating disorders was 13.97%. The most frequent (13.6%) statement chosen by university students was “I am terrified of being overweight.” Almost 50% of the university students were not satisfied with their weight and 48.1% were dissatisfied with their physical appearance. Only 8.18% of the female university students have a family history of eating disorders and 8.98% were confirmed cases of eating disorders. Yet, the study revealed no statistically significant correlations between age (r= 0.036, P= 0.416), body mass index (r= 0.015, P= 0.734) or meals/day (r= -0.076, P= 0.087) and EAT-26 scores. Conclusions: The risks of eating disorders in the current study were lower compared to those obtained by previous studies. Regardless of that, the awareness regarding eating disorders is required by multiple education programs utilizing reading materials, online education sessions, games, mass media and social communication methods. Implications for Nursing: Extended community-based educational programs are suggested to enhance female university students’ knowledge about EDs, their consequences on health and methods to promote healthy eating habits and positive attitudes toward body image. Keywords: Eating disorders, Higher colleges, University students, United Arab Emirates, Female adolescents, Anorexia nervosa, EAT-26.
Introducing Paul Cobley: a graphic guide
Authors: Barreto E. Israel Chávez , Favareau Donald
Published: March 2023

Within the discipline of semiotics, written text remains the primary mode of communication and analysis, despite the fact that, as all good semioticians know, signs occur in all modalities – which is why we think of artists and musicians, no less than novelists and poets, as applied semioticians par excellence. In 1997, Paul Cobley and Litza Jansz combined the semiotic tools of words and drawings to produce what is undoubtedly one of the most successful and influential texts for the dissemination of semiotic theory: the illustrated graphic guide called Semiotics for beginners (later published as Introducing semiotics). On the occasion of this well-deserved festschrift honoring Paul’s life of work in semiotics, the authors felt it most appropriate to pay homage to Paul – and to the graphic guide with which he has inspired countless readers across the world to better understand the fundamentals of semiotics – by once again combining the semiotic tools of words and drawings to illustrate the ideas and history of this master semiotician.
Robust synergetic control of electric vehicle equipped with an improved load torque observer
Authors: Boumegouas Mohammed Kabir Billal , Kouzi Katia , Birame M’hamed
Published: March 2023

For environmental reasons, a great effort was focused on the improvement of the steady-state performance and dynamic performance of electric vehicles (EV). The EV is one of the cleanest and most ecological transport solutions. Accurate knowledge of EV load torque signals is important information for controlling and improving EV active safety. The estimation of load torque in EV drive contributes to cost reduction and solves many of the implementation problems encountered: lack of space, and severe environment. On this basis, in this research, our contribution contains two parts. The first part is the conception of a new scheme of control based on synergetic control (SC) for the speed of an EV propelled by a Six-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSMs) is developed. This control technique offers a fast response, decreases the size of modeled system, and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system in a vast domain. The second part deals with the synthesis of the sliding mode observer (SMO) to estimate load torque, compensate for strong disturbances and achieve high servo precisions. Moreover, reducing the chattering is inherent in the conventional SMO, we have proposed to replace the switching observer term Ksign with a smooth function and super twisting algorithm. The obtained simulation results proved the high performance assured by the synergetic control such as robustness and dynamic performance, and good estimation accuracy with free chattering even in strong noises.
Upregulation of lncRNA LANCL1-AS1 inhibits the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer via the miR-3680-3p/GMFG axis
Authors: Pan Hui , Peng Jing , Qiao Xiaoni , Gao Han
Published: March 2023

Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a low survival rate. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) LANCL1 antisense RNA 1 (LANCL1-AS1) was indicated to be downregulated in NSCLC; however, its detailed function in NSCLC is unanswered. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed the downregulation of LANCL1-AS1 in NSCLC cell lines and subcellular fractionation assay showed that LANCL1-AS1 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of NSCLC cells. Cell counting kit-8, Transwell, and tube formation assays displayed that overexpression of LANCL1-AS1 suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation, migration, invasiveness, and angiogenesis in vitro. Animal experiments validated the tumor-suppressive role of LANCL1-AS1 in tumor-bearing mice. Mechanistically, LANCL1-AS1 upregulated glia maturation factor gamma (GMFG) expression by competitively binding to miR-3680-3p. GMFG knockdown reversed LANCL1-AS1 overexpression-mediated inhibitory impact on NSCLC malignant behaviors. Collectively, LANCL1-AS1 upregulation inhibits the progression of NSCLC by modulating the miR-3680-3p/GMFG axis.
Meta-analysis of the benefits of dietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae intervention on milk yield and component characteristics in lactating small ruminants
Authors: Ogbuewu Ifeanyichukwu Princewill , Mbajiorgu Christian Anayo
Published: March 2023

Milk yield and components in small ruminants fed Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) have been investigated, but results were not consistent among investigators. Hence, this trial aimed to explore the efficacy of SC supplementation in improving milk yield and components (i.e., milk proteins, fat, lactose, total solids and ash) in small ruminants. A search performed in Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar databases yield 1,826 studies, of which 26 met the inclusion criteria. Random-effects model was used to aggregate milk production variables. Meta-regression analysis examined the effect of the following moderators: SC type, ruminant type (sheep or goat), diet type, breed, duration of supplementation and supplementation levels on outcome measures. Subgroup analysis explored the influence of the following moderators: SC type and ruminant type on outcomes measures. SC had positive moderate effect on milk yield (standardised mean difference [SMD] = 0.72; p < 0.001; heterogeneity [I
2] = 73%) and small effect on milk proteins (SMD = 0.46; p = 0.004; I
2 = 83%), milk lactose (SMD = 0.17; p = 0.007; I
2 = 0%) and fat (SMD = 0.28; p = 0.016; I
2 = 70%). Subgroup analysis revealed that SC improved milk yield, lactose and proteins in lactating sheep and milk yield and fat in lactating goats. Our results show that moderators influenced the results of the meta-analysis and explained most of the sources of heterogeneity. In conclusion, SC should be included in small ruminant diets as it had small-to-moderate effects on milk yield and aspects of milk components.
Rice thermoplastic starch nanocomposite films reinforced with nanocellulose
Authors: Vilas Boas Eduardo Valério de Barros , do Lago Rafael Carvalho , Oliveira Ana Lázara Matos de
Published: March 2023

Rice starch is a raw material with proven potential in obtaining biodegradable polymers. Plasticization improves the flexibility characteristics of starch-based films, although they still tend to have low tensile strength and high hydrophilicity. The addition of nanocellulosic materials is an alternative to improve these characteristics. In this chapter, the effects of adding different sources and concentrations of nanocellulose (NC) on the properties of thermoplastic rice starch films (TRSF) are addressed. One can highlight as main effects the increase of tensile strength and transparency of the films, the reduction of water vapor permeability and water solubility. The type of NC used, the way it is obtained, as well as its interaction with starch molecules are factors that influence the effects. Further studies involving the interaction of TRSF and NC should be conducted in order to overcome the lack of information.

Published: March 2023

During development, the lymphatic vasculature forms as a second network derived chiefly from blood vessels. The transdifferentiation of embryonic venous endothelial cells (VECs) into lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) is a key step in this process. Specification, differentiation and maintenance of LEC fate are all driven by the transcription factor Prox1, yet the downstream mechanisms remain to be elucidated. We here present a single‐cell transcriptomic atlas of lymphangiogenesis in zebrafish, revealing new markers and hallmarks of LEC differentiation over four developmental stages. We further profile single‐cell transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility changes in zygotic prox1a mutants that are undergoing a LEC‐VEC fate shift. Using maternal and zygotic prox1a/prox1b mutants, we determine the earliest transcriptomic changes directed by Prox1 during LEC specification. This work altogether reveals new downstream targets and regulatory regions of the genome controlled by Prox1 and presents evidence that Prox1 specifies LEC fate primarily by limiting blood vascular and haematopoietic fate. This extensive single‐cell resource provides new mechanistic insights into the enigmatic role of Prox1 and the control of LEC differentiation in development.

Published: March 2023

Objective

Guidelines on congenital hypothyroidism (CH) recommend that genetic testing should aim to improve diagnosis, treatment or prognosis, but it is unclear which patients would benefit most from the genetic investigation. We aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of transient CH (TCH) and permanent CH (PCH) in a well-characterized cohort, and thereby evaluate the impact of genetic testing on the management and prognosis of children with CH.

Methods

A total of 48 CH patients with normal, goitrous (n 5) or hypoplastic thyroid (n 5) were studied by high-throughput sequencing using a custom-designed 23-gene panel. Patients initially categorized as TCH (n 15), PCH (n 26) and persistent hyperthyrotropinemia (PHT, n 7) were re-evaluated after genetic testing.

Results

Re-evaluation based on genetic testing changed the initial diagnoses from PCH to PHT (n 2) or TCH (n 3) and from PHT to TCH (n 5), which resulted in a final distribution of TCH (n 23), PCH (n 21) and PHT (n 4). Genetic analysis also allowed us to discontinue treatment in five patients with monoallelic TSHR or DUOX2, or no pathogenic variants. The main reasons for changes in diagnosis and treatment were the detection of monoallelic TSHR variants and the misdiagnosis of thyroid hypoplasia on neonatal ultrasound in low birthweight infants. A total of 41 (35 different, 15 novel) variants were detected in 65% (n 31) of the cohort. These variants, which most frequently affected TG, TSHR and DUOX2, explained the genetic etiology in 46% (n 22) of the patients. The molecular diagnosis rate was significantly higher in patients with PCH (57%, n 12) than TCH (26%, n 6).

Conclusions

Genetic testing can change diagnosis and treatment decisions in a small proportion of children with CH, but the resulting benefit may outweigh the burden of lifelong follow-up and treatment.
Life cycle assessment of cellulosic ethanol and biomethane production from forest residues
Authors: Liang Shaobo , Gu Hongmei , Bergman Richard D.
Published: March 2023

There is a strong need to manage low-value forest residues generated from the management practices associated with wildfire, pest, and disease control strategies to improve both the environmental and economic sustainability of forestlands. The conversion of this woody biomass into value-added products provides a great opportunity to benefit both the environment and economy. This study aimed to assess the environmental impacts of converting forest residues into two renewable fuels, cellulosic ethanol and biomethane, by different biochemical conversion pathways. The energy balances and environmental impacts, including acidification, eutrophication, global warming, and photochemical ozone formation, of the two biorefinery approaches were addressed. This work illustrated the advantages of converting forest residues into biomethane from energy and environmental perspectives. The tradeoff between the economic benefits and potential environmental issues need to be carefully considered.

Authors: Musat Elena-Camelia , Salca Emilia-Adela , Ciobanu Valentina Doina , Dumitrascu Adela-Eliza
Published: March 2023

The quality of logs entering the production line is important because it controls the quality and yield of veneer. In Romania, Quercus species represent 18% of the total forests, and of which 2% is exclusively the pedunculate oak. The wood of pedunculate oak is hard and elastic, and it has a good natural durability. Due to such features it also has multiple uses in the furniture industry, construction, joinery, and cooperage works. The present work highlights the influence of some characteristics of the raw material on the cutting yield of veneer in the case of pedunculate oak logs purchased from different regions. Defects in the raw material had a certain negative influence on the veneer quality. The defects were identified and prioritized using the Pareto diagram.

Published: March 2023

Camelina sativa is a cool-season oil seed crop that has been proven to produce various biofuels. The present study investigated the technical possibilities of using whole camelina biomass as a model feedstock in a biorefinery. This investigation examined the possibilities of using camelina seeds as a source of oil for biodiesel, sugars for ethanol, and meal for one-portfolio products. The camelina harvest residues (straw) can serve as the main source for green sugars. This study found that the energy input for the whole biorefinery process was 25.1 MJ/L ethanol, while the energy output was 54.3 MJ/L ethanol. The net energy ratio of 2.16 MJ/L ethanol was found to be competitive with other energy crops. The process was environmentally friendly, and it reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 40% if the produced biodiesel replaced petroleum diesel. The seed meals and glycerin were found to be a good source of revenue as high value-added products and can provide an additional revenue of $1/kg of produced oil.
La Industria 4.0 y los riesgos laborales de los riders en el Perú
Authors: Chauca Salas Max Henry
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo aborda el tema de los riesgos laborales que se presentan bajo las nuevas modalidades de reparto vía aplicativo en el actual contexto de la Industria 4.0, con especial énfasis en el caso peruano. Así, el estudio tiene por objetivo demostrar la urgente necesidad de regular la protección de los riders frente a los riesgos laborales que se presentan bajo esta nueva modalidad, con independencia de su reconocimiento como trabajo subordinado o autónomo. Efectivamente, el problema de los riders en el Perú tiene como punto medular ser una actividad que no se encuentra protegida por el Derecho Laboral, al no ser considerada como un trabajo subordinado. De igual modo, a nivel nacional tampoco existen pronunciamientos jurisprudenciales sobre este problema.  En materia de seguridad y salud en el trabajo en el Perú, debido a su ubicación en una zona gris del derecho laboral, su protección frente a los riesgos se ve sumamente limitada. Se plantea así, la necesidad de una normativa especial que incluya la protección de los riders frente a los nuevos riesgos laborales que se generan con la implementación de las nuevas tecnologías en el contexto de la Industria 4.0.

Published: March 2023

Se examina la problemática del abuso de derecho en las solicitudes de acceso a la información pública, en la Intendencia de Aduana Aérea del Callao, donde hemos advertido la presentación de solicitudes por un mismo peticionante, manifiestamente repetitivas respecto a los mismos documentos, solicitudes requiriendo documentación genérica, asimismo se advierte que algunas solicitudes contienen textos intimidatorios de denuncia por abuso de autoridad, lo cual nos pondría en el ámbito de un ejercicio abusivo del derecho de acceso a la información pública, el mismo que fácilmente podría extenderse en perjuicio de toda la Administración Pública. Se utiliza el método de investigación cualitativa, partiendo del análisis de la normativa específica de la Transparencia e información pública. En el mismo sentido se analiza las normas constitucionales referentes al abuso del derecho desde una perspectiva filosófica como teoría. Se efectúa un estudio a los pronunciamientos del Tribunal de Transparencia y el Tribunal Constitucional relacionadas al caso; De igual forma se realiza una revisión al Derecho comparado, donde se analiza las legislaciones aplicables sobre todo de países donde ya superaron esta problemática. Finalmente se plantea alternativas de solución mediante la modificación de la Ley N° 27806 – Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública.

Published: March 2023

Kant’s political philosophy is usually seen as a coherent part of his philosophical system. However, politics is not an integral part of his conception of pure reason. The aim of the article is to find the place of politics in Kant’s structure of pure reason. The paper attempts to provide an answer to the question why Kant did not undertake an investigation of politics as a part of his analysis of the structure of pure reason. It is argued that the central place of the problem of metaphysics was the cause behind this neglect. Transcendental dialectic in Critique of Pure Reason is the place where for the first time principles of the analysis of political ideas are presented. However, Kant did not see that with his transcendental dialectics he entered the realm of politics, he did not put forward an analysis of the nature of political ideas. The place of politics in Kant’s structure of pure reason can be determined by paying close attention to three main factors – conception of transcendental ideas, the primacy of practical reason and aesthetic ideas. Kant did not provide a unified account of these three elements, which are necessary to understand the place of politics in the structure of pure reason.
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Length of Stay for Common Pediatric Diagnoses: Trends From 2016 to 2019

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Inequities in pediatric illness include unequal treatment and outcomes for children of historically marginalized races/ethnicities. Length of stay (LOS) is used to assess health care quality and is associated with higher costs/complications. Studies show LOS disparities for Black and Hispanic children in specific diagnoses, but it is unclear how broadly they exist or how they change over time. We examined the association between race/ethnicity and LOS longitudinally for the most common pediatric inpatient diagnoses.

METHODS

We used the 2016 and 2019 Kids’ Inpatient Databases. The 10 most frequent diagnoses in 2016 were determined. For each diagnosis in each year, we assessed the association between race and LOS by fitting a generalized linear mixed effects model with a negative binomial distribution, accounting for clustering and confounding. Using descriptive statistics, we compared associations between the 2 years for trends over time.

RESULTS

Our analysis included >450 000 admissions and revealed significantly longer LOS for Black, Hispanic, and/or Asian American or Pacific Islander, Native American, and other children in 8 of the 10 diagnoses in 2016, with mixed changes over time. Three new disparities emerged in 2019. The largest disparities were for Black children in most diagnoses.

CONCLUSIONS

Kids’ Inpatient Database data showed longer LOS for children of historically marginalized race/ethnicity with common pediatric inpatient diagnoses, which largely persisted from 2016 to 2019. There is no plausible biological explanation for these findings, and inequities in social needs, access to care, and quality of care likely contribute. Future directions include further study to understand and address contributing factors.
Engañadas por la academia: una revisión del estatus de las mujeres en la academia
Authors: Blanco Laura Cristina
Published: March 2023

Se utiliza una revisión bibliográfica para analizar el estatus de las mujeres en la academia. Se encuentra que persisten disparidades importantes que limitan el ascenso y desempeño de las mujeres en este espacio. En particular, las mujeres publican a un menor ritmo, se les asigna menos recursos para investigar, enfrentan mayores costos para publicar, menor acceso a redes y reciben una menor valoración de su trabajo que repercute en que sean menos citadas. También tienden a ser peor evaluadas por sus estudiantes en comparación con sus pares masculinos. Todas estas variables inciden sobre sus posibilidades de promoción y su salario, dificultando que asciendan en el rango académico.
Packaging waste and recycle in EU

Nowadays, the use of plastic is very widespread, especially in packaging materials. Most packaging materials are made from fossil-based polymers, which contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The unprecedented leakage of single-use plastic waste into the environment is a major problem, with negative impacts on both ecosystems and human health. In this study we examine the development of packaging waste and recycled packaging in the European Union over a period of more than 20 years, highlighting changes in the regulatory context; assess the achievements of Hungary so far and forecast the expected developing of packaging volumes and recycling rates; and consider recycling and waste reduction options, including alternative sustainable packaging options. Our forecast based on the evidence shows that Hungary (47.62%), Germany (61.46%), Malta (26.27%), Romania (58.64%) and Croatia (49.41%) are not expected to reach the target set (65% by 2025) in EU legislation. Out of the 27 countries surveyed, 6 (Belgium 88.2%, the Netherlands 87.81%, Luxembourg 76.96%, the Czech Republic 77.79%, Finland 78.75% and Denmark 83.7%) exceeded the expectations, so we show their waste management and waste recycling good practice, as they can serve as good examples for Hungary and other countries.
A study on the impact of green infrastructure on microclimate and thermal comfort
Authors: He Qingchang , Reith Andras
Published: March 2023

This study focuses on exploring the impact of urban forms and vegetation combination patterns on the microclimate in a complex urban environment. Results shown that the closed urban form has higher air temperature resulting in pedestrians are easier to feel heat stress; instead, the open urban form usually has higher wind speed. Vegetation can effectively reduce wind speed while reducing the change rate of the mean radiant temperature. However, the effect on air temperature and humidity are most distinct in the morning. Trees and shrubs could improve the surrounding thermal comfort conditions by reducing heat stress, but this effect depends on the density of the leaf area. More importantly, study has not found that the ground cover plants contribute to the improvement of thermal comfort.
Subcutan és intramuscularis heterotop kalcifikáció a nyakon 42 évvel a sugárkezelést követően

A sugárkezelés indukálta heterotop szövetkalcifikáció az irradiáció rendkívül
ritka szövődménye a fej-nyaki régióban. Esetismertetésünkben egy nagy
kiterjedésű, kombinált – subcutan és intramuscularis elhelyezkedésű –,
sugárkezelés indukálta heterotop kalcifikációt mutatunk be a nyaki régióban. A
80 éves férfi beteg 2 hónapja tartó nyelési nehezítettség és a nyakon kialakult
fájdalmas, fekélyszerű elváltozás miatt jelentkezett klinikánkon. 42 évvel
ezelőtt T3N0M0-stádiumú glotticus laphámcarcinoma miatt teljes
gégeeltávolításban, valamint 80 Gy összdózisú radioterápiában részesült. A
szövettani és a CT-vizsgálat kizárta a residualis vagy a másodlagos malignitás
lehetőségét. A CT-angiográfia kiterjedt subcutan és intramuscularis
kalcifikációt mutatott a nyaki bőrfekély, illetve a hypopharynx falának
közvetlen közelében, valamint az arteria carotis communis és az arteria
vertebralis kétoldali teljes elzáródását írta le. A sebészi kezelés során a
meszesedett terület eltávolítását követően a defektust fasciocutan
transzpozíciós lebennyel zártuk. A páciens az elmúlt 48 hónapban tünetmentesnek
bizonyult. A sugárkezelés elengedhetetlen szerepet játszik a fej-nyaki régió
laphámrákjainak kezelésében. A nagyban deformált posztoperatív anatómia, a
kiterjedt hegképződés, a sugárkezelés okozta fibrosis, valamint a bőr és a bőr
alatti szövetek kalcifikációja összességében szokatlan, atípusos elváltozások
kialakulásához vezethet. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(10): 383–387.
Panorama de los estudios sobre dechados en México
Authors:   Museo Franz Mayer, México, Enríquez Mayela Flores
Published: March 2023

In Mexico, primarily during the 19th century, production of embroidery designs was a popular activity among young girls. Objects which reflected reproducibility of some of the ornaments and methods of creation, became patterns demonstrating types of embroidery techniques. They have been subject of numerous studies, especially in historical, ethnographic, archaeological or restoration-related contexts. This allowed for distinguishing the main concepts that led to devising schemes which designated a former approach to the subject. This article reviews various research concepts that have shaped reflection on embroidery patterns in Mexico, including foreign studies. It also proposes an art history approach, allowing for new findings and possibilities for analysing those objects being elements of material culture. Women who dealt with development of patterns may be seen as artists, the masters of their profession, whose virtuosity was manifested in the class of the objects themselves as a result of devoted time and extraordinary manual skill.
COMUNIDADES EDUCACIONAIS: UMA HISTORIOGRAFIA DE PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS NÃO-CONVENCIONAIS EM ESCOLAS-INTERNATOS, COLÔNIAS, ORFANATOS E ESCOLAS-RESIDÊNCIA
Authors: Mioto Luis Henrique , Oliveira Sandra Regina Ferreira de
Published: March 2023

Este artigo busca compor um panorama histórico da organização pedagógica e institucional do que estamos denominando de “comunidades educacionais não-convencionais”, ou seja, instituições que mesclaram a prática escolar com a moradia dos educadores e educandos, onde crianças e adultos residem e coabitam no espaço em que aprendem e se educam, formando “internatos”, “colônias”, “orfanatos”, “escolas-residência” que se organizam com seus membros gestando coletivamente a instituição e propondo importantes transformações nos processos educacionais com consideráveis graus de autonomia e criatividade pedagógica. 

Partimos das instituições coordenadas por Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Friedrich Froebel e Liev Tolstoi, depois discutimos as comunidades educacionais anarquistas coordenadas por Paul Robin e Sébatien Faure, os orfanatos democráticos coordenados por Janusz Korczak, as colônias socialistas educacionais de Anton Semionovich Makarenko, o internato autogestionado de Homer Lane e os CIEPs no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Citamos também alguns casos mais recentes e ainda existentes, como a Summerhill School, as “escolas Krishnamurti” e a Escola SESC de Ensino Médio.

Utilizamos como método a análise de textos historiográficos e citamos algumas reportagens para os casos mais contemporâneos.

Pudemos concluir que o formato de “escolas-internatos” e orfanatos com inclusão de práticas escolares foram modelos institucionais paradigmáticos entre o século XVIII e início do século XX, e que na atualidade os poucos casos nestes formatos são mantidos por instituições por organizações religiosas. No entanto, trouxemos em nosso texto alguns exemplos de rompimento ao paradigma pedagógico convencional ocorrido em algumas comunidades educacionais contemporâneas.
