Simulacros. Una manera de pervivir la teatralidad
Authors: Flores-Solís Alejandro , Hernández-Reyes Blanca Lilia
Published: January 2022

La manera como se percibe en México el sabor, el olor y los componentes visuales de la fiesta, sucede a través de la transmisión generacional de cada celebración. La alusiva a la Independencia de México, tiene una particular modalidad de expresión a través del simulacro, una forma de teatralidad que involucra a miles de participantes en varios municipios de la zona sur del Estado de México como Coatepec Harinas, Tecomatlán, Malinalco y Tejupilco. El inminente arraigo entre las comunidades se debe a la antigüedad y preservación del fenómeno. Dentro de este marco, el estudio se concentra en los simulacros efectuados en Ixtapan de la Sal y Tonatico por sus formas de organización y tratamiento del convivo social. En la mirada de los pobladores, la celebración de la Independencia de México se concibe indefectiblemente a través del simulacro, 15 y 16 de septiembre en Ixtapan de la Sal y 26 y 27 en Tonatico, días en los que la rutina de los actos condicionados se detiene cediendo el paso a un tiempo/espacio propicio para el juego y la representación como agentes de transformación y cohesión comunitarios.

The social-political challenges of internal displacements in Ukraine
Authors: Smutchak Z.
Published: January 2022

Migratory threats which are connected with mass internal inter-regional migrations, caused by the annexation of Crimea and military aggression in Donbas by Russia, have been disclosed in the article. The social-political and psychological threats of large-scale forced displacement are determined. Traditional migrations are mainly due to social-economic factors and the independent voluntary choice of participants in these processes regarding the intention to move, dictated by the freedom of choice of the person. Instead, forced displacements are caused by immediate threats to life and health. Analyzing the factors of migratory attraction, the cluster analysis was performed using the k-means method and using the STATISTICA program. The results of cluster analysis show that in large regions the level of IDP migratory activity is higher and the impact on the formation of demographic capital is more significant. It does not affect the number and composition of the population as a whole, but causes changes in its location, gender, and the age structure of the inhabitants of individual regions, is a consequence and an important factor of regional differences, directly related to industrialization and urbanization, rural depopulation. In terms of volume, internal migration significantly outperforms international migration. Measures for the proper formation and development of demographic potential at the macro level are proposed. Without proper regulation, forced displacement becomes a growing burden on host communities' ability to provide basic services, destroys civilian infrastructure and community cohesion, undermines public investment in reform, and creates insecurity, hopelessness, and despair among large populations that can easily become national and global risks.

Теоретичний акцепт зелених закупівель та їх роль у ефективному використанні державних ресурсів
Authors: Грабчук І. Ф. , Бугайчук В. В. , Вишневська Н. М.
Published: January 2022

В статті розглядається проблематика активізації здійснення зелених закупівель, як найефективнішого інструмента вирішення економічних та екологічних проблем в Україні та загалом у світі. На авторське переконання сутність «зелених закупівель» зводиться до придбання державою за найнижчою ціною продукції або послуг, які відповідають екологічним стандартам, мають відповідне маркування, що в кінцевому підсумку забезпечує економію витрачання державних коштів. Відмічається, що на державному та глобальному рівні необхідно створити преференції еко-продукції та послугам, що дозволить зменшити негативний вплив на навколишнє середовище. За даними державних закупівель, найбільшим попитом користуються продукти харчування, напої, тютюн, нафтопродукти, паливо, електроенергія та інші джерела енергії, будівельна продукція (крім електроапаратури), медичне обладнання, фармацевтична продукція та засоби особистої гігієни. Аналіз ефективності державних закупівель, дає можливість стверджувати, що за державними закупівлями витримується принцип ефективності, основою якого є максимальна економія державних ресурсів. Разом з тим, організатором торгів значна частка закупівель була відхилена. Причиною стали невідповідність якості товарів і послуг, ціни на них та невідповідність умовам представлення тендерної документації. Вирішення економіко-математичної моделі доводить, що вирішення проблеми підвищення ефективності використання державних коштів за здійснення зелених закупівель є можливим за зменшення рівня вимог і скарг до якості продукції та ціни на неї. Таким чином, державні закупівлі мають проводитися не лише для досягнення функціональної мети закупівлі, але й сприяти досягненню цілей Стратегії сталого розвитку України до 2030 р. з охорони навколишнього середовища за розвитку конкуренції, прозорості та відкритості даного процесу, включаючи ефективну систему контролю.

Heavy mineral distribution in Weichselian drift successions in eastern Denmark
Authors: Holm Lise
Published: January 2022

The use of heavy mineral content in Weichselian drift units as a stratigraphic tool has been investigated. A total of 26 heavy mineral analyses of representative samples frorn the four Weichselian kineto­stratigraphic units in eastern Denmark are presented with data on both non-opaque and opaque mineral content. The heavy mineral content frorn inferred source areas has been deduced, partly from published data and partly from studies carried out by the author. The data indicate that heavy mineral analyses cannot be used as a general stratigraphic tool. However, the heavy mineral distribution indicates the occurrence of two distinct Weichselian heavy mineral provinces, a northern and a southern. The reasons why clast petrography studies may supply more reliable stratigraphic information are discussed.
The forest, the trees, and the leaves across adulthood: Age-related changes on a visual search task containing three-level hierarchical stimuli
Authors: Bouhassoun Sabrina , Poirel Nicolas , Hamlin Noah , Doucet Gaelle E.
Published: January 2022

Selecting relevant visual information in complex scenes by processing either global information or local parts helps us act efficiently within our environment and achieve goals. A global advantage (faster global than local processing) and global interference (global processing interferes with local processing) comprise an evidentiary global precedence phenomenon in early adulthood. However, the impact of healthy aging on this phenomenon remains unclear. As such, we collected behavioral data during a visual search task, including three-levels hierarchical stimuli (i.e., global, intermediate, and local levels) with several hierarchical distractors, in 50 healthy adults (26 younger (mean age: 26 years) and 24 older (mean age: 62 years)). Results revealed that processing information presented at the global and intermediate levels was independent of age. Conversely, older adults were slower for local processing compared to the younger adults, suggesting lower efficiency to deal with visual distractors during detail-oriented visual search. Although healthy older adults continued exhibiting a global precedence phenomenon, they were disproportionately less efficient during local aspects of information processing, especially when multiple visual information was displayed. Our results could have important implications for many life situations by suggesting that visual information processing is impacted by healthy aging, even with similar visual stimuli objectively presented.

RESULTS: In this study a total of 100 patients who received blood transfusion were analyzed, out of 100 patients 78% of patients received transfusion due to obstetrical causes and 22% patients got transfused for gynecological causes. Most common blood group transfused was B+ and O+ and mean hemoglobin level at which patients received blood transfusion was 9.7g/dl. Blood components preparation can provide components to treat two to three patients from a single donor. The use of packed cell transfusion should be promoted instead of whole blood transfusion that is not even needed in most of the cases. CONCLUSION: Blood transfusion practice has been used aggressively in gynecology and obstetrics in some cases even without proper indications. There is a need to modify this practice by correcting anemia through drugs to avoid the inappropriate use of blood. Use of blood components should be encouraged.

OBJECTIVES:
To determine the frequency of emergencies in patients with fixed and removable orthodontic appliances at tertiary care dental hospital.
METHODOLOGY:
A questionnaire was designed for this descriptive cross-sectional study to be filled by the clinician (L3/L4 FCPS resident) at the end of addressing every orthodontic emergency. Sampling was done under consecutive non-probability protocols. Descriptive statistics were applied to determine the frequency of different orthodontic emergencies, and Pearson’s chi-square test was applied to determine association of emergencies with gender and etiology of emergency (patient related vs operator related). Data was analyzed on SPSS version 20.
RESULTS:
A total of 175 patients reported with orthodontic emergencies. The sample comprised 38.3% males and 61.7% females. Most frequent orthodontic emergency reported was deboned brackets in fixed appliances, while the most common emergency in removable appliances was traumatic PNAM. A statistically significant association (Pearson’s Chi Square=4.74, Cramer’s V=0.165, p=0.029) was seen for removable and fixed appliance emergencies with males and females.
CONCLUSION:
Most frequent fixed appliance orthodontic emergencies were deboned brackets while for removable appliance emergencies were trauma due to PNAM. Emergencies with removable appliances were mostly due to the operator related factors, while in fixed appliances patient related factors were dominating.
Smart-Contracts in the digital economy: Contractual regulation and dispute resolution
Authors: Sinitsyn S. A. , Diakonova M. O. , Chursina T. I.
Published: January 2022

This article has been prepared for the research purpose of identifying, disclosing, and justifying certain trends in the development of civil law and procedures in the context of the spread of smart contract practices and the expansion of their spheres of application. At the moment, there is no uniform approach to choosing an optimal form for the legal regulation of smart contracts within the system of contract law in modern legal systems or international law; meanwhile, globalization and the digitalization of the economy imply the growth of cross-border transactions. The emergence of smart contracts is due to the development of e-commerce, in which the parties’ interactions are carried out electronically instead of in physical exchanges or direct physical contact. Smart contracts gaining popularity in circulation are based on two interrelated elements: firstly, they eliminate a person’s direct participation in some or all cases of executing the agreement using an automated code designed for execution without reference to the intentions of the contracting parties after publication; secondly, they make use of decentralized blockchain technology, and also provide automatic code execution without any party’s potential intervention, so as to eliminate or reduce the self-control and third-party control of the commitment.

This study examines the content, conclusion, validity, protection of rights and legitimate interests of the parties, interpretation, and legal nature of smart contracts. The research materials used foreign experience in resolving disputes from smart contracts on digital platforms (Kleros, JUR, Aragon Network Justice, OpenCourt, OpenBazaar), as well as domestic and foreign literature on smart contracts. This research has been prepared based on general (deduction, dialectical analysis, intersectoral relations of objects) and specialized (comparative-legal, economic-legal) methods of scientific experimentation.

The authors conclude that there are no grounds for considering a smart contract as a new classification element of the system of contractual regulation (type or kind of contract). In addition, the analysis shows that the resolution of smart contract disputes through digital platforms remains radically uncertain, and currently is not creating obvious advantages in comparison with traditional judicial proceedings.
Using artificial intelligence in healthcare: Allocating liability and risks
Authors: Tretyakova E. P.
Published: January 2022

Within the framework of this article, the author considers the features regarding the application and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical practice. This includes complex issues related to the personal liability of a doctor when making decisions on diagnostics and treatment based on an algorithm proposal (a system for supporting medical decisions), as well as possible options for the responsibility of the algorithm (AI) developer. The analysis provides an overview of the existing system for holding medical professionals accountable, as well as an assessment of possible options for the distribution of responsibility in connection with the widespread introduction of AI into the work of doctors alongside the possible introduction of AI into standard medical care. The author considers the possibility of establishing more serious requirements for the collection of information on the side effects of such devices for an AI registered as a medical device. Using the method of legal analysis and the comparative legal method, the author analyzes the current global trends in the distribution of responsibility for harm in such cases where there is an error and/or inaccuracy in making a medical decision; as a result of this, the author demonstrates possible options for the distribution of the roles of the healthcare professional and AI in the near future.

Published: January 2022

Saccharomycetales are ascomycetic yeasts and among them the genus Blastobotrys has approximately 30 known species. Blastobotrys malaysiensis is a yeast species, described from cave samples, known until then only from Malaysia. In this study, we characterize a new strain and report the second occurrence record of this species. Here, Blastobotrys malaysiensis SXS675, was collected from soil samples from a cave in the Parque Estadual de Terra Ronca (PETER) in Goiás, Brazil. Phylogenetic analyzes revealed strong support with the sequence of the species type, as well as with other species of the clade. This new record contributes by providing new molecular data for the species and expanding the knowledge of its distribution beyond the Asian continent.

First record of a yeast for the American continent and its second mention for the world.
Motion tomography via occupation kernels
Authors: Russo Benjamin P. , Kamalapurkar Rushikesh , Chang Dongsik , Rosenfeld Joel A.
Published: January 2022

The goal of motion tomography is to recover a description of a vector flow field using measurements along the trajectory of a sensing unit. In this paper, we develop a predictor corrector algorithm designed to recover vector flow fields from trajectory data with the use of occupation kernels developed by Rosenfeld et al. [9,10]. Specifically, we use the occupation kernels as an adaptive basis; that is, the trajectories defining our occupation kernels are iteratively updated to improve the estimation in the next stage. Initial estimates are established, then under mild assumptions, such as relatively straight trajectories, convergence is proven using the Contraction Mapping Theorem. We then compare the developed method with the established method by Chang et al. [5] by defining a set of error metrics. We found that for simulated data, where a ground truth is available, our method offers a marked improvement over [5]. For a real-world example, where ground truth is not available, our results are similar results to the established method.
Low carbon joint strategy and coordination for a dyadic supply chain with Nash bargaining fairness
Authors: Chen Jianxin , Sun Lin , Zhang Tonghua , Hou Rui
Published: January 2022

In the paper, fairness concern criterion is utilized to explore the coordination of a dyadic supply chain with a fairness-concerned retailer (acting as a newsvendor), who is committed to low carbon efforts. Two models are developed for stochastic demand disturbances in the forms of multiplicative case and additive case, respectively. Firstly, the optimal joint decision of the retailer and the supply chain are proposed in two scenarios, i.e., decentralized decision and the centralized decision. Secondly, in order to realize channel coordination, the contract of revenue sharing combined with the mechanism of low-carbon cost sharing is designed. Moreover, the influences of the retailer's fairness concern and bargaining power on the joint decision and the contract parameters are also investigated. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results and some suggestions to supply chain management are also provided. The results show that the revenue sharing contract can make the supply chain achieved coordination with the cost sharing mechanism of low-carbon efforts. Furthermore, the optimal low-carbon effort level and ordering quantity decrease in terms of fairness-concerned parameter and Nash bargaining power parameter, which increases in unit cost. However, the optimal pricing makes the opposite change.

In this paper, the Ostrowski inequality for $ s $-convex functions in the third sense is studied. By applying Hölder and power mean integral inequalities, the Ostrowski inequality is obtained for the functions, the absolute values of the powers of whose derivatives are $ s $-convex in the third sense. In addition, by means of these inequalities, an error estimate for a quadrature formula via Riemann sums and some relations involving means are given as applications.

We derive a matrix version of Li & Yau–type estimates for positive solutions of semilinear heat equations on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvatures and parallel Ricci tensor, similarly to what R. Hamilton did in [5] for the standard heat equation. We then apply these estimates to obtain some Harnack–type inequalities, which give local bounds on the solutions in terms of the geometric quantities involved.
