Complicated Grief Assessment for interdisciplinary research: An evidence-based protocol v1
Authors: Martín-Ríos Raquel
Published: November 2023

The Spanish Civil War caused a rupture in the social and cultural norms that had developed over a long period of liberalism. The violence that occurred during the three years of the conflict was significant. Following the coup, there was repression on both sides, leading to a vast number of people being killed and leaving their families grieving the loss of their loved ones. A repressive political atmosphere continued during the extended post-war period, resulting in a large number of widows and orphans. How did they experience this reality in a post-war context? What was the grieving process like? Were they able to overcome the loss of their family members, or did it lead to a social silence that manifested as hidden trauma, only surfacing with the arrival of democracy? In the context of the Civil War, the grieving process was influenced by the unique circumstances in which it occurred. Survival as a way of life meant that the grieving process was not the same as what is typically studied in times of peace. This is why psychology can offer various hypotheses to enrich the academic debate within the field of psychology. It's worth noting that grieving in this context could be complicated due to the absence of a body to bid farewell to, or the lack of time and resources for traditional rituals and ceremonies. Additionally, the grieving process could be interrupted by the need to continue fighting or flee combat zones.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) is a safety feature for automobiles that regulates brake pressure and delivers predictable braking in the majority of circumstances by monitoring wheel lock-up. It necessitates the creation of a robust control system due to the unknown uncertainties on the braking system induced by altering the vehicle model dynamics and road conditions. To progressively decrease the automobile accidents caused by abrupt braking and will achieve the best brake performance. The mathematical model was developed considering vehicle speed, and slip ratio between the tire and the road conditions and simulation was done for Super Urban Vehicle of the ABS using Fuzzy logic controller and CarSim software in MATLAB/Simulink are the main objectives of this study. With the assistance of the fuzzy logic control approach and the MATLAB/Simulink software, a quarter-vehicle dynamic model was developed to simulate under a variety of road circumstances, such as wet and dry conditions, and at different speeds. Finally, it was determined that the braking distance was decreased and the vehicle stability was maintained during the simulation process by comparing the results of the simulation performed using the CarSim software connected to MATLAB/Simulink and the performance of the built controller.

Optimal GED Student Recruitment: Perceptions of Program Directors
Authors: Miller Michael
Published: November 2023

Much is unknown about those who do not finish high school and there is a need to understand who enters and completes alternative high school completion programs, such as the HiSet (High School Equivalency Test), GED (General Education Development Test), or growing number of state sponsored high school equivalency programs. The purpose for conducting the study was to describe the perceptions of adult education program coordinators about how to best categorize potential high school credential alternative completers. Using a phenomenological framework and semi-structured interviews, 12 adult education program administrators were interviewed about who enrolls in and completes their programs. A thematic analysis of these responses indicated distinct categories of individuals including opportunists (those looking for better opportunities), exceptionals (those with exceptionalities such as a disability that prevented the individual from completing a traditional high school diploma), immigrants (those validating learning in another country or language learners), and those who have been reformed in some way (eg, those with a history of difficulty with legal situations). By identifying these initial categories of adult learners taking part in high school equivalency programs, recruitment efforts as well as the programs themselves might be better structured to correspond to learner needs.
Grasping Foreign and Security Policy Change: Patterns and Conditions of Change Among Liberal Democracies
Authors: Böller Florian , Wenzelburger Georg
Published: November 2023

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been perceived as a fundamental shift at the international level, triggering reorientation in foreign and security policy, in particular among liberal democracies. At the same time, beyond such external shocks, states may incrementally adapt their positioning towards international affairs. To shed light on these dynamics, this article aims to quantitatively explore longer-term patterns of foreign and security policy in liberal democracies. In doing so, we make two contributions to the literature: First, we propose a quantitative operationalization of foreign and security policy change, combining military and non-military aspects, to explore the patterns of continuity and change over time (1988–2021), considering 20 liberal democracies. Second, we leverage insights from public policy analysis, in particular the punctuated equilibrium theory, to make sense of the identified patterns. Accordingly, we find support for the proposition that foreign and security policies typically change incrementally and that major change is rare. Moreover, while incremental shifts can be explained by domestic politics and institutional settings, major changes disrupt this pattern. In conclusion, the article discusses the plausibility of the quantitative analysis given the current policy shifts among democracies following Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Human Security of Inuit and Sámi in the 21st Century: The Canadian and Finnish Cases
Authors: Rodrigues Céline
Published: November 2023

In a changing territorial and geopolitical moment of the Arctic region, are the Indigenous Peoples Organizations heard at the regional level and are the Arctic states working to keep them safe and secure? To safeguard the human security of Arctic Indigenous peoples, Arctic states (and their governments) have to understand the needs and changes that are affecting their way of life as well as to be able to cooperate between them. In a comparative study of Canada’s and Finland’s Arctic policies—Canada’s Arctic and Northern Policy Framework (2019) and Finland’s Strategy for Arctic Policy (2021)—it is possible to identify the applicability of the human security approach, which is influenced by the truth and reconciliation process between Canada and Inuit and Finland and Sámi. This process is a main factor in having their human rights respected and their human security safeguarded, considering that the relation between the countries of the North and the South of the Arctic countries is a discovery of their diversity (linguistical and cultural) in the 21st century. In my perspective, and for a participative democracy to be applied as mentioned by the green political theory (following the views of scholars like Barry, Eckersley, and Goodin), states and governments need to be open and recognise the gaps identified by those communities and transnational organisations.
LEGACY: HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT AND CURRENT REGULATION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Riabokon Evgen
Published: November 2023

The creation of the legal category of legacy in modern legislation owes an order known as "legatum" or as one giving a rise to singular succession (succession singularis), i.e. succession in individual rights (which fundamentally distinguishes it from classical universal succession, significant for inheritance) to Roman private law. It was in the depths of Roman law that the detailed legal regulation of legates was developed, which had the prospect of being borrowed into the modern civil legislation of Ukraine. Testamentary legacy today is understood as an order of the testator that is contained in the text of the will, according to which the testator obliges the heir appointed by this will to perform a certain action in favor of the third person specified in the will (the disclaimer), at the expense of his inheritance share. Beneficiaries can be persons who are included, as well as those who are not included among the heirs by law. Potentially, any participant in a civil legal relationship can be appointed as a defendant (Article 2 of the Civil Code of Ukraine), taking into account the specifics of the legal personality of specific participants in a civil relationship. Testamentary legacy belongs to the number of derivative methods of acquiring rights and gives rise to singular legal succession. By its very nature, a testamentary legacy is a unilateral act and the basis for the emergence of binding relations between the heir, burdened by the testamentary legacy, and a third person, the recipient of the testamentary legacy. The analysis of the legislation shows that in Ukraine only mandatory refusals aimed at imposing a certain duty (obligation) on the heir are recognised; at the same time, there are no grounds for the allocation of property testamentary refusals in Ukraine.

Published: November 2023

Restrictions on the Russian financial sector by foreign states, their associations and international organizations, as well as retaliatory measures on the part of Russia, in their entirety, can be described as a sanctions regime for doing business in the securities and collective investments market. The article reveals the main content of these sanctions restrictions and retaliatory measures. The sanctions regime is intended to become the basis for reviewing a number of principles of the organization and functioning of the securities and collective investments market. The restructuring of the international financial center established in Russia is required, based on the presumption that there is a risk of sudden unfriendly actions on the part of any of the foreign states or financial institutions, even if they are friendly as of today. Emphasis should be placed on the development of national institutions of the securities market and collective investments, which should largely be replaced by relevant foreign institutions. The principle of openness and transparency of the Russian stock market is subject to revision.
Challenging public auctions in law enforcement practice: the edge of reason
Authors: Galkin S. S.
Published: November 2023

In the article, based on an analysis of the totality of law enforcement decisions on a single incident, successively issued by the antimonopoly authority and arbitration courts, the formulated positions are assessed and the legal problems arising in connection with this are examined, taking into account the legal principle of the balance of interests. A critical assessment is found by law enforcement conclusions about the impossibility of extending the deadline for accepting bids at public auctions when they expire. The author, including as a direct participant in the proceedings under study, argues that it is inadmissible to artificially expand the scope of control by the antimonopoly authorities over public auctions. The analysis can be used to formulate legal positions in the process of contesting both auctions in enforcement proceedings and bankruptcy auctions.

Hospitalized patients are at higher risk of ischemic stroke than in the general population in the population. Inhospital ischemic stroke is one of the most serious complications developing in the hospital, and it is associated with a greater number of adverse outcomes compared with community-acquired stroke. According to the literature, there are several reasons for this fact. The most common pathogenic subtype of in-hospital ischemic stroke is cardioembolic subtype, characterized by extensive ischemic damage to brain tissue. Approximately 50% of hospitalized patients have proven the fact of cardiac embolic source. Also in-patients are characterized by the greater comorbidity and a higher risk of somatic diseases, which also have an adverse effect on the course of a stroke. And finally, in-hospital stroke is characterized by delays at all stages of urgent medical care compared to patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of stroke urgently through the emergency department. The most common reasons for these delays include the obvious difficulties of clinical diagnostics, the complexity of in-hospital logistics, lack of early recognition of stroke symptoms skills and lack of understanding of the paradigm of «time-to-brain» in choosing of the treatment strategy by physicians with other medical specialties. Lost time, in addition to the existing contraindications for thrombolytic therapy system, is the main reason for the low number of procedures thrombolysis in patients with in-hospital stroke. As a consequence, the treatment of patients with in-hospital stroke requires more economic cost. These patients have longer periods of hospitalization, and after discharge they often require the continuation of treatment in rehabilitation centers and social support measures. Researchers agree that improvement of the quality of care for patients with in-hospital stroke requires designing of special protocols on the similarity of those that are designed to assist patients urgently admitted with a diagnosis of stroke, as well as holding regular sessions with staff on the practicing of hospitals stroke diagnostic skills and the course of action of medical personnel in case of stroke.
Role of Vitamin D in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome: A systematic review
Authors: Swati  , Choudhary Abhilasha , Singh Harjinder
Published: November 2023

8–13% of women in the reproductive age group are affected by Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and around 70% of cases stay undiagnosed worldwide. It is one of the most common causes of infertility nowadays. Polycystic ovarian morphology, hyperandrogenism, and ovulatory dysfunction are traits of PCOS. Insulin resistance is the primary finding in the pathophysiology of PCOS.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be found as a dietary supplement. Hypovitaminosis is a risk for glucose intolerance so it has been found that supplementing vitamin D in females with PCOS lowers insulin resistance, total testosterone, and androstenedione levels and improves pressure profiles. Obese PCOS patients have been found to have lower vitamin D levels than PCOS patients who are not obese. This review aims at the pathophysiology of PCOS and the role of Vitamin D supplementation in PCOS patients.

A literature search was performed to identify all relevant studies on PubMed, Google Scholar, Crossref, Medline, and Cochrane. The keyword used were; “Vitamin-D”, “Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)”, “fertility”, “insulin resistance”, and “androgen hormones”. All relevant articles including review articles, original articles, case series, and case reports were reviewed.

It was found that Vitamin D supplementation has beneficial effects on reproductive outcome, metabolic abnormalities and regulating menstrual cycle in PCOS patients. Understanding importance of Vitamin D level in treating PCOS patient is of great clinical significance in preventing disease progression.

The main types of congenital pathology of the external and middle ear are microtia and atresia/stenosis of the external auditory canal. However, isolated cases of atresia/stenosis of the external auditory canal in combination with normal size and shape of the ear canal are quite rare. The article describes a clinical case of a child during the first year of life with congenital stenosis of the external auditory canal in combination with an anomaly of the development of the auditory ossicles, which was observed for 6 months. The results of extended audiological examination showed an increase in the hearing threshold on the left due to conductive hearing loss. In the case of the patient described in the article, a decision was made to use a wait-and-see approach for the child: dynamic observation by a deafness specialist otolaryngologist no less than once every 6 months.

Authors: Mirza Anis , Srujana Akula , Singh Jatinder
Published: November 2023

Background: Papaya latex is a milky fluid secreted by ducts and is a complex mixture of phytochemicals (secondary metabolites). Lowry’s method was used to quantify the papain extracts from the fruits and leaves to measure cysteine protease activity. Methods: The experiment was conducted using the extracts of papaya fruit latex (Papain) and leaf extracts for phytochemical analysis. As a result, the enzyme concentration in crude extracts was highest in the fruit latex and lowest in the leaves. The dialyzed leaves extract band/color was very light in comparison to the fruit latex band/color, indicating that the enzyme concentration in the crude leaves sample was the lowest. Result: Quantitative estimation of protein content was observed higher in papaya fruit latex papain (82.5 mg/ml) and in papaya leaves (36.6 mg/ml). Positively higher significant results were also confirmed for the protease activity examined for latex and leaves valued 6.34 mg and 5.323 mg, respectively, whereas, the similar results were noted for the content of phytochemical constituents in fruit latex for glycosides, saponins and terpenoids as well as in leave extract for glycosides, flavonoid, phenol, reducing sugar, tannins, terpenoids, saponins.

Memoria de familias en tiempos de guerra
Authors: Acuña Rodríguez Olga Yanet
Published: November 2023

El objetivo de este estudio es comprender los avatares que han vivido las familias colombianas en escenarios de conflicto.  Este libro surgió de la necesidad de encontrar explicaciones sobre los fenómenos de violencia desde la memoria de las víctimas del conflicto, en que a través de sus relatos nos permite conocer escenarios de violencia, y sobre todo, ver cómo la sociedad civil ha vivido en medio de conflicto, sin que sus angustias sean reconocidas y mucho menos reparadas, tal vez, por la falta de una política de Estado o por los temores de las víctimas a denunciar a su victimario, o por la falta de credibilidad en la justicia y reparación muchos optan por el silencio.  Es justamente el silencio de las víctimas parte de nuestro objeto de análisis, que nos permite entender los fenómenos de guerra, violencia y conflicto desde sus narrativas.
La conmemoración del Centenario de la Independencia en Colombia y América Latina
Authors: Dávila Sanabria Oscar Javier
Published: November 2023

Esta investigación desgarra la máscara ideológica montada por las élites en torno a la celebración del centenario de la Independencia en Colombia y América Latina. Gracias al uso del aparato teórico- conceptual- dialéctico que se emplea para el análisis del caso, queda al desnudo, sin el ropaje ideológico, las fiestas del centenario; asunto que permite evidenciar lo perplejo y paradójico de la Historia  Patria construida en torno a esta conmemoración.El peso de la disertación se obtiene principalmente de tres pensadores: el Alemán Walter Benjamin, el francés Alain Badiou y el esloveno Slavoj i ek, intelectuales quienes conforman un potente faro  que ilumina el des-monte de la modernidad y el progreso como discurso centenarista de ilusión; ilusión de bienestar amarrada a la tradición decimonónica que quiere, a la vez, perpleja y paradójicamente, sin querer y mucho menos poder, romper los lazos que irónicamente siguen manteniendo hasta el día de hoy los órdenes establecidos llenos de mitos históricos, olvidos y recuerdos  selectivos, falsos acontecimientos, y fantasías que se convierten en verdades. Un trasegar onírico, convertido en subterfugio para escapar de lo caótico-Real.

Published: November 2023

In the investment world there are rational and irrational investors, rational investors use mature calculation steps in investment decisions and predict stock returns so that this is the forerunner of the emergence of CAPM, while irrational investors only follow their own instincts, psychology and investor proxies in predicting and making investment decisions without careful consideration, so SAPM emerged. Basically, the CAPM and SAPM models are no different, the only difference is the beta, beta SAPM uses beta modification, namely beta investor sentiment. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach to describe which is more accurate between CAPM and SAPM in predicting expected returns, namely by using the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) test. The results of this study can be concluded that the CAPM model is more accurate than the SAPM model.
