Authors: Dirgantara Yudi , Agustina Rena Denya , Putra Riki Purnama , Indrawan Ivana Sylvi
Published: February 2025

GIS is an application for conducting partial environmental analysis using data such as satellite imagery or surveys. In using GIS, of course, there are challenges in understanding the available features, which are very complex to understand. There are various difficulties in understanding the use of GIS applications, so a series of activities is needed to understand the use of GIS applications. This study aims to find out whether the STB-LAB can increase understanding of the use of GIS in undergraduate students, especially in the physics education department at the IPBA Lecture. The research method used in this study is a quasi-experimental quantitative method, with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects used were 93 samples, with a purposive sampling technique. Paired sample t-test was conducted to test the hypothesis, followed by Cohen's D Effect Size test to provide details on the increase or decrease in the average gain. The results obtained in this study indicate that the STB-LAB-based laboratory activity model is able to increase understanding of the use of GIS applications for undergraduate physics education students by showing the hypothesis test obtained, namely Sig. 0.000, with an effect size of 1.022. In addition, there are additional findings, namely that female tend to prefer memorizing to understanding, compared to male who tend to prefer complex concepts to understanding.

Published: February 2025

Mechanical and physical properties were determined for laminated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) using polylactic acid (PLA). Structural parts were produced via 3D printing with additive manufacturing (FDM: fused deposition modeling) method in the middle layers. For this purpose, PLA parts with 30%, 60%, and 90% filling rates were glued to the middle of the 5-layer laminated material with polyurethane (PU) glue, and physical and mechanical tests were conducted according to the relevant standards. It was found that increasing the filler content resulted in higher density, reduced water absorption and thickness swelling, increased bending strength and modulus of elasticity, while screw holding resistance increased by approximately 75%. Compressive strength parallel to the fibers showed comparable results to control samples. These findings suggest that PLA filler particles can serve as an alternative middle layer material in wood lamination, offering potential for minor but meaningful improvements in specific applications.

Purpose: to analyze the performances of the 2024 Olympic wrestling champions at key stages of their sports development and develop the main trends for each type of wrestling. Material and methods. The following methods were used: analysis of literary sources, retrospective analysis of the results of athletes' sports activities and methods of mathematical statistics. The sports careers of 18 Olympic champions in wrestling in 2024, representing three main types of wrestling: Greco-Roman, freestyle and women's, were analyzed. The main indicators analyzed in the study were: age characteristics and achievements of athletes during their sports careers. All performance data were taken from the official website of the international wrestling federation United World Wrestling. Results: the results of the study showed significant differences in the age characteristics of Olympic champions depending on the type of wrestling. In women's wrestling, the average age of champions was 22,8 years, which indicates the dominance of young athletes. In Greco-Roman wrestling, the average age of champions was 27,7 years, and in freestyle wrestling – 26,5 years. The study also emphasized the importance of the cadet and junior stages in the development of athletes. In women's wrestling, 83,3 % of champions achieved success in cadet competitions, which indicates the importance of early specialization. In Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling, these figures were lower – 33,3 % and 33,3 %, respectively. Participation in the world championships among adults also showed high results for women's wrestling – 100,0 %, in Greco-Roman wrestling – 83,3%, while in freestyle wrestling this figure was only 50,0 %. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate a significant influence of different stages of sports career on the formation of Olympic champions in wrestling. World Championships turned out to be a key stage of preparation in all types of wrestling, especially in women's wrestling, where all champions achieved success at this level. Junior competitions also play an important role, especially in Greco-Roman wrestling, which demonstrates the highest participation and success rates. In contrast, the experience of participating in cadet competitions and previous Olympic Games had a much smaller influence on the formation of champions, with the exception of women's wrestling.
Forthcoming perspective could revolutionize healthcare worldwide for patients with extensive burns
Authors: Montaser Prof. Laila Mahmoud
Published: February 2025

Burns impact millions of individuals, both adults and children, across the globe, leading to significant morbidity and mortality rates. The primary factor influencing survival in burn cases is the speed of wound healing. Extensive wounds surpass the body's natural healing abilities, and existing coverage materials often fall short due to limitations in cellular content, availability, or the risk of immunological rejection. Severe burns, particularly those that cover a substantial area of the body, continue to pose a significant challenge for contemporary medical practice. Current therapeutic approaches primarily involve skin grafting, which utilizes the patient's own healthy tissue to facilitate wound coverage. In situations where the area affected by burns is extensive, it becomes nearly unfeasible to locate sufficient healthy skin for grafting. This challenge is further exacerbated by the presence of scarring, persistent pain, and various other complications that considerably diminish the quality of life for those who survive. Within this framework, a groundbreaking approach utilizing 3D bioprinting (3DBP) and stem cell cultivation may offer a viable solution for addressing severe burn injuries.

Authors: Nadi Sara , Hurst Irene A , Abraham Olufunmilola
Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVES

Misuse of opioid medications was associated with 75% of drug-related deaths in 2020. Although Emergency Departments (EDs) frequently prescribe opioids, no preventative interventions have been implemented to educate adolescents and their families on safe opioid use. This study aimed to characterize ED staff’s perspectives on implementing the MedSMA℞T Families intervention in the ED to improve opioid education and safety among adolescents.

METHODS

ED staff played the MedSMA℞T game, completed a survey, and were asked open-ended questions regarding their experience interfacing with the technology. Transcripts were coded using NVivo to conduct content analysis. The analysis integrated the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) 3.0 model into the interventiond.

RESULTS

A total of 23 ED staff were recruited. Staff reported that the game was more interactive and age-appropriate for adolescents compared to other educational materials in the ED. Reflecting on the care team, nurses and child life specialists were identified as appropriate roles for delivering the game to patients. Moreover, staff buy-in, training, and ED workflows were recognized as important factors within the organizational conditions allowing for game implementation. Space, loudness, and allocated resources in the ED were perceived as challenges to game implementation. Lastly, waiting room gameplay was thought to be the most efficient setting of game implementationn.

CONCLUSIONS

MedSMA℞T Families can be efficiently implemented into ED settings. It is one of the first serious games to target opioid education and to engage and better retain the attention of younger patients and was well received by ED staff.
Santiago de Chile 1968-1972 como ecosistema intelectivo: intento de teorización y ejemplo empírico
Authors: Devés Eduardo
Published: February 2025

Se trata de explicar un hecho tan inusual como importante: que una comunidad intelectual de una ciudad periférica, durante un periodo muy corto de tiempo (Santiago de Chile 1968-1972) se haya transformado en una de las capitales mundiales del pensamiento, generando y exportando algunas de las expresiones eidéticas más influyentes (el dependentismo, el liberacionismo, el cepalismo-social, el cristianismo socialista y casi inmediatamente la versión chilena del neoliberalismo), a la vez que reflexionar sobre las posibilidades de replicar situaciones similares. Para esto se formula la noción de "ecosistema intelectivo". También, se desarrollan, más que prueban, cinco hipótesis que permitirían entender diversas vías para explicar el boom de creatividad, en una dinámica que va más allá del ecosistema propiamente tal. Se cartografía el espacio señalando los “colectivos” institucionales más importantes, destacando en cada caso las expresiones eidéticas y las figuras. Se establecen las relaciones que articularon estos lugares, permitiendo la circulación de las ideas, como también las relaciones entre el adentro y el afuera del ecosistema, focalizándose de modo importante en la exogamia, en las vías de recepción de ideas y de figuras intelectuales extrajeras y chilenas con postgrados recientes en el extranjero. Se intenta, finalmente, dar cuenta de la excepcionalidad que permitió esa explosión de creatividad y de buena recepción de ideas emergidas en Santiago en otros ecosistemas intelectivos del mundo.
Disease-modifying therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis and a coexisting autoimmune disease
Authors: Dziubek Dariusz , Dziubek Karolina
Published: February 2025

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, characterised by two pathophysiological processes taking place independently from the onset: inflammatory-demyelinating and neurodegenerative. During the course of the disease, disability accumulates over time as a result of relapses and progressive neurodegeneration associated with the so-called smouldering lesions. Treating patients with multiple sclerosis and other co-occurring autoimmune conditions is a major challenge for physicians. Therefore, it is rational to choose a disease-modifying therapy that has a positive therapeutic effect in both comorbidities. The use of combination therapies in the treatment of multiple sclerosis is not currently recommended. Studies conducted to assess the effectiveness of combining standard disease-modifying therapies with corticosteroids, methotrexate, azathioprine, or cyclophosphamide have yielded ambiguous or negative results. Selecting an appropriate disease-modifying therapy for patients with co-occurring multiple sclerosis and another autoimmune disease requires close cooperation of many specialists (neurologist, rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, dermatologist, immunologist). The decision should always be made on an individual basis and focus on achieving monotherapy that is effective in both diseases. The neurologist should know the impact of disease-modifying therapies used in other autoimmune diseases on the course of multiple sclerosis. The article reviews the literature and examines the impact of disease-modifying therapies used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis on the course of other common autoimmune diseases, as well as the effect of disease-modifying therapies used in other autoimmune diseases on the course of multiple sclerosis.
Dot-blot assay with AlCl3 reagent for rapid screening of total flavonoid content in food and herbal medicine materials
Authors: Sutrisno Chetiza Aurelie Putri , Kartini Kartini
Published: February 2025

The determination of total flavonoid content (TFC) through the aluminum chloride (AlCl3) colorimetric test utilizing spectrophotometry is commonly used as a parameter for evaluating the quality of processes as well as food and herbal medicines materials. Nonetheless, it is laborious, lengthy, and necessitates substantial amounts of chemicals. This study aims to develop and validate the dot-blot assay with AlCl3 reagent for determining TFC in plant materials. In this method, the samples were not subjected to chromatography; instead, the plates were derivatized using AlCl3 in ethanol immediately after the application of samples and evaporation the solvent. The Al(III)-flavonoid complex was scanned (421 nm) using a TLC-scanner. The validation of the method was conducted on stability, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, accuracy, and robustness. The TFC of samples determined by dot-blot assay and spectrophotometry was subsequently analyzed using linear regression and Pearson correlation. The dot-blot assay for determining TFC met the stability parameter (RSD = 1.31–8.25%), intraday precision (RSD = 2.20–6.11%), inter day precision (RSD = 1.56%), linearity (r2 = 0.9928), LOD (251.03 ng/spot), LOQ (760.71 ng/spot), accuracy (recovery = 70.81–75.61%), and robustness (RSD = 2.55 and 7.60%). There was a very strong positive linear relationship between the dot-blot assay method and spectrophotometry, with a linear regression coefficient of 0.9078 and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.911. The proposed method proved to be simpler, faster, and more economical for determining TFC. Thus, the method was beneficial in providing references for enhancing the quality control of food and herbal medicines.

Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) are among the biggest hindrances to crewed space exploration. The ions contributing the most to fluence and absorbed dose in free space are 1H and 4He. In addition, their contribution to dose equivalent increases behind thick shields. In this work, the results of depth-dose measurements performed with high-energy 1H and 4He ions (2 GeV and 480 MeV 1H, and 430 MeV/u 4He) in structural (aluminum alloy), standard (PMMA and high-density polyethylene), innovative (lithium hydride) and in situ (Moon regolith simulant) shielding materials are presented. A strong dose build-up effect, due to target fragments and secondary protons, is observed in the first part of the Bragg curve for all the tested ion beams. The experimental results are compared to the Monte Carlo simulation tools most used for radiation protection in space, i.e., different physics lists of Geant4, PHITS, and FLUKA.
The morphological characteristics of caved strata in an abandoned gob under multiseam
Authors: Wang C. L. , Sun L. H. , Yang D. M.
Published: February 2025

Under multiseam mining, the caved strata of upper gob are affected by the lower coal seam mining, and the caved strata of lower gob are affected by the gravity action of the caved strata in the upper gob, resulting in the morphology of caved strata that is more complex than single coal seam mining. In this study, a similar simulation experiment device is used to analyse the morphology, fracture development degree, and subsidence of caved strata in an abandoned gob under multiseam. The physical model of caved strata in an abandoned gob under multiseam is established. Results show that the morphology of caved strata in the abandoned gob is a trapezoid. The caved strata on two sides of the abandoned gob are mainly horizontal fractures, and the middle part is a compacted area. Large number of voids and fractures exist near the start and end mining positions, and they are connected with each other. Because of the influence of the lower coal seam mining, the fracture development degree and subsidence of caved strata in the upper gob increase. The average increase rate of the maximum subsidence and the peak abscission rate is 24·61% and 16·69%, respectively.

Estudos sobre artes circenses vêm se desenvolvendo cada vez mais no campo científico brasileiro e por ser uma manifestação cultural potente, onde acontecem diferentes relações psicossociais, surge a necessidade de investigar, através da Psicologia, o seu papel transformador nos sujeitos envolvidos. Este artigo de revisão integrativa de literatura tem como objetivo investigar o que há e como se constituem produções acadêmicas no âmbito das artes circenses e psicologia, relacionadas a aspectos psicossociais e desenvolvimento humano. Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados: Pepsic, Scielo e BVS (LILACS) e, mediante critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram recuperados seis artigos, organizados em três dimensões de análise: 1) Circo como ferramenta em processos de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento humano, 2) Circo como mediador na constituição de sujeitos e 3) Circo como ferramenta social e de inclusão. O total de publicações sob a forma de artigos (6) envolvendo Circo e Psicologia indica que a área precisa de mais estudos teóricos e investigações empíricas. Os resultados encontrados apontam que a arte circense é uma potente ferramenta em processos de aprendizagem, sendo uma importante mediadora na constituição de sujeitos e no seu desenvolvimento e possui significativa relevância social na vida destes sujeitos. Através deste trabalho, foi possível concluir que existem poucos trabalhos desenvolvidos sobre articulações entre psicologia e arte circense, os trabalhos analisados demonstraram que a arte circense favorece cuidados, estabelece vínculos e promove saúde, sendo, portanto, um abundante campo de investigação para estudos da psicologia.

Objective: The first stage of such study aimed at analyzing the faculty’s perceptions (n= 12) about what they consider curricular strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for an intercultural orientation. Methodology: Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews to professors and administrative stakeholders from the undergraduate program. Data were subjected to thematic analysis with the use of Nvivo. Results: Results suggest that faculty deem it necessary to reach consensus about theoretical concepts such as culture and interculturality, and that professional development can be a strategy to formally take on an intercultural endeavor in a teacher education program. Conclusions: The paper comes to an end with discussion and implications for other FL teacher education programs in Colombia seeking to pursue an intercultural orientation in their curricula.
Sensory Processing Dysfunction and Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder: Women share their Experiences of Participating in a Sensory-Based Home Program
Authors: Van Niekerk Matty , Labuschagne Elsie
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Sensory processing dysfunction (SPD) has only recently been
described in women with genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (GPPPD).
However, female sexual pain is a virtually unknown area of practice for occupational
therapists providing intervention for adults with SPD.
Aim: To describe the experiences of women with GPPPD with identified sensory
processing dysfunction (SPD) who followed a sensory-based home programme.
Methods: Purposive, non-probability sampling was used to recruit participants
for the qualitative arm of the study after they presented with SPD in the quantitative
part of the study. Semi-structured individual interviews were used to
gather information and sufficient information power was reached after five
participants were interviewed. Data were analysed descriptively using inductive
thematic and saliency analyses.
Results: Two themes were identified. Theme one: Changes experienced after
participating in a sensory-based home programme, reflected increased insight
into SPD (allowing participants to identify sensory triggers) and intra-personal
changes (increased tolerance of sensory stimuli, feelings of control and I can
breathe again). Theme two: Coping strategies employed by women with SPD
and GPPPD, included sensory seeking, changes to home and work environments,
positive reinterpretation/growth, acceptance, and socio-emotional
support (you’re not the only one. There are plenty of us out there.).
Conclusion: A sensory-based home programme, catering to specific sensory
profiles is beneficial as a non-invasive occupational therapy intervention approach
(based on sensory integrative therapy) for women with both SPD and
GPPPD.
Implications for occupational therapy:
• SPD in the context of sexual pain is an emergent field in occupational
therapy, thus occupational therapists need to expand service-delivery to
this population and other practitioners such as gynaecologists must be
alerted to occupational therapy as a non-invasive, and non-pharmaceutical
intervention option for patients.
• Contribute to the knowledgebase of sensory integration in the adult population.
• Improve the occupational therapist’s role in sexuality.
• Emphasize the importance of insight as part of a treatment programme
Sustainable Interactive Remote Teaching and Online Learning: A Reflexivity Case Study
Authors: Reuben Dlamini  , Fatima Makda
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A key concern in creating accessible and sustainable tertiary education is the practicalities of remote teaching and online learning in an unequal society. The complexities of remote teaching challenged us to reflect on our professional practices to enhance students’ experiences and to better understand our actions in the use of digital learning platforms. This article is conceptual and exploratory and shares the experiences of two lecturers. A reflective practice approach was adopted, and our experiences with Microsoft Teams as a pedagogical tool are presented and analysed. Additional references were collected from reliable sources to situate this paper in relevant contemporary research and triangulate data sources. We found that Microsoft Teams as an education enabler afforded lecturer-to-student engagement, student-to-student collaboration, and student-to-content interaction. This article contributes to the literature on virtual conferencing tools, such as Microsoft Teams, and how it can be used as a learning management system and a pedagogical tool.

Published: February 2025

A kutatás az éneklési képesség fejlődését vizsgálja ének-zene tagozatos, valamint normál tantervű, 6–13 éves tanulók körében. Az éneklési képesség vizsgálata egyéni tesztfelvétel formájában történt saját fejlesztésű mérőeszközzel. A mintát 160 ének-zene tagozatos és 476 nem ének-zene tagozatos, 1., 3., 5. és 7. évfolyamos tanuló alkotta. Az eredmények szerint az ének-zene tagozatos tanulóknak a normál tantervű oktatásban résztvevőkkel összehasonlítva valamennyi évfolyamon szignifikánsan fejlettebb az éneklési képessége. Az 1. és 3. évfolyam között mindkét oktatási formában szignifikáns mértékű a fejlődés. 3. és 5. évfolyam között nem mutatható ki további előrelépés, az 5. és 7. évfolyam között szignifikáns mértékű a visszafejlődés a nem ének-zene tagozatosok körében. Az ének-zene tagozaton megvalósuló több gyakorlási lehetőség az éneklési képesség általános fejlettsége terén nem eredményezi az éneklés gyorsabb ütemű, jelentősebb fejlődését. Azonban két fontos részkészség, a daléneklés és a hangminőség fejlődésére pozitív hatást gyakorol az ének-zene tagozatos képzés.

La producción mundial de plástico asciende a 6300 millones de toneladas, lo cual influye grandemente en la creciente contaminación por productos plásticos, originando un problema que afecta de diferentes maneras los ecosistemas, especialmente los de agua dulce, identificados recientemente como los principales sumideros de partículas plásticas ya que se encuentran directamente expuestos a los asentamientos humanos y por consiguiente a actividades antrópicas. La incorporación de microplásticos en la base de la red alimentaria se realiza a través de su ingestión por parte de macroinvertebrados de diferentes grupos funcionales, como (i) filtradores: Daphnia magna, (ii) trituradores: Gammarus pulex y Hyalella azteca, (iii) recolectores: Culex pipiens, Chironomus riparius, Chironomus tepperi y (iv) herbívoros como el caracol Physella acuta, lo cual puede conllevar al bloqueo del tracto digestivo, aumentar la mortalidad, disminuir la fecundidad, provocar respuestas inflamatorias, alterar el metabolismo, interrumpir la reproducción, cambiar el comportamiento y diesmar las reservas energéticas. En consecuencia, los microplásticos representan una amenaza para las comunidades de macroinvertebrados con graves consecuencias a nivel ecosistémico. Sin embargo, aún es necesario comprender los verdaderos riesgos de los microplásticos en los sistemas de agua dulce y otros ecosistemas teniendo en cuenta estructura, características funcionales y comportamiento de los organismos de estudio para concienciar la toma de decisiones del público. El presente artículo de revisión narrativa se realizó mediante la consulta de bases de datos nacionales e internacionales para compilar publicaciones que reflejen el estado actual de conocimiento del efecto de los microplásticos sobre las comunidades de macroinvertebrados de ecosistemas lóticos.

Los estudios ecomorfológicos son importantes para comprender cómo una especie puede desempeñarse en un entorno de acuerdo con sus características morfológicas, permitiendo a futuro entender patrones de adaptación y diversificación evolutiva. Las salamandras en la familia Plethodontidae se encuentran ampliamente distribuidas en América y su especialización ecológica y filopatría las hace un grupo altamente vulnerable a cambios ambientales. En esta revisión, se buscó recopilar la información registrada sobre aspectos ecomorfológicos de la familia, para identificar patrones y vacíos de información que pueden encaminar futuras investigaciones. Por medio de una revisión sistemática de la literatura, se encontró que EEUU es el país que presenta mayor cantidad de estudios (43), seguido de Colombia (12) y Brasil (2). Una de las categorías más estudiadas es historia de vida y ecología y las menos estudiadas son biología del desarrollo, perturbación y ecofisiología. Se encontró que Bolitoglossa ha sido estudiada en un 29% a pesar de ser uno de los géneros más diversos. El 77% de los géneros con datos de altitud prefieren rangos altitudinales de los 800-1200 m s. n. m., temperatura entre los 15-20 °C y humedad relativa superior al 80%. Por último, salamandras de menor peso (<1 g) y SVL (>60 mm), tienden a usar una mayor altura de percha, probablemente relacionado a una mayor capacidad de escalada o un comportamiento de evasión. Se observa una oportunidad para investigar en géneros menos estudiados, puesto que esto permitirá tomar decisiones a futuro sobre su conservación.

The hybrid war of the collective West as a threat to national and international security
Authors: Polyakov S. A.
Published: February 2025

The paper focuses on the urgent problems of ensuring international and national security in the context of a hybrid war between Russia and the collective West. The main types of hybrid threats have been disclosed, solutions have been proposed to mitigate the impact of general pressure from the European Union, the USA and the UK. The author proposed a way to resolve the problems of hybrid threats to Russia during Special Military Operation and liberation actions against the oppressed Donbass people. The oppression of this people is taking place today in the unreleased territories of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Lugansk People’s Republic, Zaporizhskaya and Kherson regions. The hybrid war with the collective West has actually lasted since the Cold War of the USSR and the USA through various extremist manifestations and manipulations against the civilian population, instilling non-traditional values, LGBT relations, love for Western culture, pro-Western heroes of Marvel, DC and Netflix, propaganda of capitalist relations of the Western model. In addition, active work is underway with the youth of the country through a student exchange organized for decades with the United States and Europe, in which our younger generation, as a rule, works as waiters, loaders and repair people. Recently, scientific literature has been actively discussing the problems of international pro-American schools in Russia promoting the values of the collective West, celebrating holidays alien to modern Russia, our history and historical prerequisites. The facts of recognition of such schools as foreign agents are known. The West initiates and finances various «quasi» color revolutions in the post-Soviet space (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine), a long-term creation of a «fifth column» in the Russian Federation is underway.
Administrative and legal status of the Bank of Russia
Authors: Korolev P. E.
Published: February 2025

The paper employs historical, political and comparative legal methodology to analyze the peculiarities of the administrative and legal status of the Bank of Russia. It is possible to testify about the creation of an internally organized banking system connecting monetary and financial principles in the state only when, along with credit institutions, central banks appear with their own national characteristics. The powers of creditors of last resort in the framework of control and supervisory activities and their interaction with public authorities may vary in different countries, but the need to combine direct administration, economic instruments of monetary policy and elements of private law in a legal context can be unequivocally traced. Having historically developed monopoly on money issuance, like all other major banks of the first level, the Bank of Russia operates as an institution protecting and ensuring the stability of the national currency, gravitating being authorized by the state power. The chronology of the Bank’s administrative and legal status involves the search for consensus between the position of a mega-regulator of the financial market and the authority on its own behalf to carry out banking operations and transactions. Since imperial times, with its task of strengthening monetary relations, being a governing body of the banking system, the Bank of Russia as a subject of private law relationships seems to be a unique legal entity that makes expenses at the expense of its own income and does not pursue the goal of making a profit. The Bank of Russia owns, uses and manages its property that is referred to as federal property. The author sums up that the history of the development of national banks in the countries of the world, albeit ranked among various legal families, demonstrates the vesting of individual corporations with public powers within the framework of public administration. In order to achieve consensus in society, the administrative position of issue banks gives rise to the category of legal entities of public law.

Aim: To present the ARILIS study aimed at assessing the use of artificial intelligence to analyze chest computed tomography (CT) data to predict and prevent non-cancer mortality in patients with cancer.
Material and methods: This cohort study will include patients with cancer diagnosed in the Arkhangelsk region (AR) within the 2019–2023 period. The COVID-19 patients with pneumonia, patients with general medical conditions, and the population of the Know Your Heart Study are planned to be enrolled as control groups. To detect and quantify the CT signs of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and bone disorders, the thoracic СT scans of all the subjects will be processed using the multi-targeted AI algorithm provided by the IRA Labs company. From the date of processing of the thoracic CT scans using the multi-targeted AI algorithm, the study subjects will be followed for new clinical diagnoses and all-cause mortality.
Expected results: T he study will determine the prevalence of CT signs of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and bone disorders in patients with cancer compared with the Know Your Heart Study population sample. It will also assess the incidence of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and bone events and all-cause mortality in patients with cancer compared with control groups, explore the potential of the IRA Labs’ multi-targeted AI algorithm in the assessment and reclassification of assessed risks in patients with cancer, and provide a software product for using mtIA in healthcare practice.

Perspectivas tecnológicas para la gestión del riesgo en el sector solidario en Colombia
Authors: Rodríguez Otálora Jorge Alexander , Garzón Santos José Luis
Published: February 2025

This article presents a conceptual framework for Solidarity Economy Enterprises (SEEs), which are organizations emerging from social interest in the common good, in contrast to traditional for-profit enterprises. SEEs have been the subject of theoretical controversy, with some viewing them as a humanization of capitalism, while others, particularly from a neoliberal perspective, regard them as obstacles to economic development. In a global context characterized by increasing social inequality, SEEs emerge as a proposal for resistance; however, they face significant challenges due to their operation outside the state regulatory framework, rendering them vulnerable to infiltration by illicit activities. The global economy, dominated by banking interests, tends to classify SEEs as part of informal value transfer systems, arbitrarily associating them with the black economy. This article addresses the challenges faced by SEEs from a global perspective, with a particular focus on Colombia, in implementing risk management systems. It explores possible solutions, such as tailored regulations and low-cost technologies, to ensure their efficiency and sustainability in combating criminal activities.

Stress is part of the psychological that can be experienced by every individual. Stress experienced by students towards activities or situations in higher education can be referred to as academic stress. Students who experience extreme stress can have an unfavorable effect on the learning process and student achievement. This study aims to develop a student academic stress scale. The scale preparation in this research was based on 4 aspects of academic stress, namely: cognitive, affective, physiological and behavioral. In this research, data was obtained by distributing the academic stress scale that is being developed using a simple random sampling technique. The validity test was carried out by referring to Aiken's V formula (v 0.70) and the reliability test using the Alpha Cronbachs internal consistency method (rXY 0.3). Based on the try-out test with N82 (30 students and 52 female students), the value of 0.943 was obtained with 36 final items, consisting of 18 favorable items and 18 unfavorable items. There are still shortcomings in the results of this research, such as the final items which are still quite large, so in the next research it is hoped that it can be tested again on a larger sample to increase the reliability and validity of this academic stress measuring tool.
