Authors: Dubenskiy Valeriy , Alexandrova Olga , Muraveva Ekaterina , Kuleshova Evelina , Fadeeva Marina , Rusina Tatiana
Published: May 2023

Aim: to evaluate the efficiency of post-acne treatment using the combination of trichloroacetic peeling and a hyaluronic acid implant. Peeling with trichloroacetic acid belongs to the category of medium peels that penetrates the epidermis and reaches the basal membrane - the border between the epidermis and the dermis. Sometimes the papillary layer of the dermis is also burned out. Fillers are injectable dermal fillers that are widely used to correct cosmetic defects. The prescribed combination of peeling and hyaluronic acid gives a good therapeutic effect, since trichloacetic acid eliminates persistent defects (dyschromia, scars), creates a uniform color, and hyaluronic acid fills in atrophic changes and moisturizes the skin. Results: we present a clinical case where acne scars were corrected with a course of the systemic retinoids followed by TCA peeling and hyaluronic acid filler. The treatment enables to reduce the size of atrophic scars, makes skin smoother and evens the skin tone. Conclusion: This clinical case can be interesting for dermatologists, since it confirms the efficiency of using hyaluronic acid fillers and TCA peeling in post-acne therapy.

Published: May 2023

Despite scientific and technological progress and the emergence of modern diagnostic methods, the number of neglected cases of oncopathology has been increasing annually, and its mortality rate has been also increasing. Thus, over the past five years in Russia it increased by 12.4%. Moreover, the one-year mortality of patients with oral mucosa oncological pathology (OMC) is over 50 %, the 5-year survival rate is 24 % for men and 37 % for women. One of the demanded areas of effective medicine is the use of minimally invasive organ-preserving diagnostic tests, which unfortunately have not been widely used in practical dentistry. The purpose of the study is to improve early diagnostic efficiency for detecting pathological processes in the oral mucosa through the combined use of optical and cytological methods for its study. We examined 350 patients of both sexes aged from 20 to 67 years within consultation appointments with the aim of specifying the diagnosis and determining the algorithm of treatment. Methods: clinical, analytical, physical (autofluorescence dentistry), laboratory (liquid cytology), statistical. Conclusion: combined use of methods of autofluorescence stomatoscopy and liquid cytology increases efficiency of diagnostic stage, reduces risk of neglected stages of pathological processes, improves quality of patient's life.

In traditional Chinese Baijiu (white wine) brewing factory, most processes were usually done manually. In order to promote industrial automation in liquor brewing industry and alleviate highly repetitive manual labor, an industrial robot operating system equipped with machine vision was designed to accomplish caldron feeding process during the distillation of Chinese Baijiu. Firstly, Modified D-H method was used to establish robot kinematics model. Shovel actuators and peripheral devices were designed to spread and transport grains during caldron feeding process. After that, an online detection system based on machine vision and master computer were designed to control key parameters of caldron feeding process, including grains height, caldron pressure, robot speed and waiting time, etc. Finally, multiple brewing experiments were carried out on crushed grains and spent grains. The experimental results showed that robot system maximum working space was 3.15 m, which could feed 3 caldrons at the same time. During Chinese Baijiu distillation, air pressure average error in caldron was 8.28 %. High proportion of first-class liquor and second-class liquor was obtained, which met engineering production requirements.

En este artículo se presentan algunos de los resultados de la investigación doctoral1, sobre la relación que existe en la formación para docentes en servicio, realizada por el Programa Todos a Aprender (PTA) del Ministerio de Educación Nacional de Colombia (MEN) y, las prácticas pedagógicas que realizan los docentes focalizados del departamento de Boyacá, en el contexto del confinamiento por Covid-19. Para cumplir con este propósito, se realizó una investigación confirmatoria, con un diseño expostfacto. Se aplicó la Escala de Acompañamiento Situado y la Escala de Prácticas Pedagógicas a 182 docentes focalizados por el PTA durante los años 2019 y 2020, mediante un proceso de muestreo no probabilístico, por autoselección. A través de técnicas de análisis cuantitativas se encontró que: el acompañamiento PTA tuvo una correlación significativa de 0,40 con la práctica pedagógica de los docentes, e influyó en un 12,9 % sobre las acciones y actividades que ellos implementaron. Además, la pandemia no afectó la relación global entre el acompañamiento PTA y las prácticas pedagógicas, porque la correlación fue similar entre ambas variables durante las dos modalidades (presencial y virtual). Sin embargo, durante la pandemia, los docentes recibieron más contenidos de formación en la dimensión de interacción entre pares, y realizaron más actividades relacionadas con los procesos de mediación; asimismo, se encontró que, la influencia del fortalecimiento pedagógico y didáctico fue mayor en las acciones de mediación, y la influencia de la interacción entre pares disminuyó en todos los procesos de práctica pedagógica realizados por los docentes.
Exegetes’ Investigation of Intimate Partner Violence: Al-Tahrir Va Al-Tanvir as a Model
Authors: Abdallahi Tar , Lahiani Hanene , Alqarraleh Basil
Published: May 2023

God mercifully and kindly spread out religions so that people can live in safety, comfort and happiness. Because humans are carefree and tend to perform self-destructive acts, religions warned against subjecting oneself or others to dangers, which leads to violence. This research throws light on violence as a phenomenon that violates human nature, because of the enormous damage it breads. Quran warns against violence and offers preventive ways to avoid its lethal trap. Because of the abundance of Quranic verses warning against violence and its dangers to human life, this research studies family violence, by focusing on exegetes’ opinions and discretion on verses relating to violence. Al-Tahrir va Al-Tanvir is used as a model to other exegetes who dealt with the Quranic verses which discussed intimate partner violence and its treatment. This research aims at analyzing and criticizing those exegeses, in order to strike a balance between them.

Financial Development and Its Impact on the Shadow Economy in Albania
Authors: Aliaj Ada , Vangjel Rovena
Published: May 2023

This study investigates financial development's effect on Albania's shadow economy from 1995 to 2015. We use data on the shadow economy from Medina and Schneider (2018) and other economic variables to examine the relationship between the shadow economy and economic growth. We use ADF, PP, and KPSS tests to determine the stationarity of the data series and Toda Yamamoto Granger Causality and VAR(p+dmax) estimation to identify the direction of the causal relationship between financial development and other economic variables and the shadow economy in Albania. Our results indicate a unidirectional causal relationship between financial development and the shadow economy, as well as between trade openness and the shadow economy. These findings suggest that efforts to improve and deepen financial development and trade openness could help formalize Albania's economy. Based on these results, we recommend that the Albanian government focus on financial inclusion reforms and facilitating exports and imports to combat the shadow economy and bring these activities into the formal sector.

Published: May 2023

This study discusses the social and legal risks of artificial intelligence by referring to reliable primary and secondary sources in this field of study and analyzing the content of the collected data. Various data sources were consulted, including articles published in newspapers, international organizations’ websites, and refereed journals. The results of the study demonstrate that artificial intelligence may have negative effects if it is not used on solid ethical grounds as it may lead to taking discriminatory decisions in institutions and pose some risks in relation to users’ privacy, in addition to legal, criminal, and ethical challenges. More broadly, the study reveals that artificial intelligence is widening the gap between rich and poor countries. Therefore, institutions specialized in various fields need to specify the purpose of their efforts in the field of artificial intelligence, so they can overcome the obstacles that may face the progress of their work and the process of preserving human rights.

Published: May 2023

Indonesian history records that youth have a role in changing the lives of the State, especially in the changes that have resulted in the nation's progress. In the current era of globalization, the role of the younger generation, especially in implementing Pancasila in people's lives, has become increasingly receding, the character values of the nation have faded and even disappeared, and the morals of some of the nation's children have lost the spirit of the noble values of Pancasila. The younger generation is experiencing a socio-cultural crisis that is incarnate in the form of disintegration and dislocation. The behavioral tendencies and personalities of the younger generation are increasingly moving away from the values of Pancasila and losing one's identity as an individual rooted in the noble values of the nation's culture. Observing this tendency, building and awakening the country's character in a severe and urgent matter is necessary. This research uses sociological juridical research methods. The research object in this paper is related to building character or shaping the essence of the younger generation who are Pancasila, thus making the civilization of the Indonesian nation. Public awareness must be immediately mobilized and encouraged to re-recognize and practice the values of Pancasila in various aspects of social, political, economic, and cultural life. Strategic character-building efforts can be carried out through the educational process.

Epistemological and Didactic Difficulties of Teaching Chemistry in Moroccan High Schools
Authors: Mennani Mourad , Raouf Khadija , Khyati Abderrahim
Published: May 2023

This article focuses on the difficulties faced by actors in the process of teaching and learning chemistry, in particular the concepts of redox and acid-base. As to methodology, two tests were developed to conduct two empirical studies. The first test to identify the conceptual difficulties encountered by these actors when teaching the concepts above. The second test examines the skills mobilized by in-service and preservice teachers at the training center to solve daily life situations involving knowledge covered in the high school program such as electronegativity, polarity of a chemical bond, oxidation state of a chemical element, Lewis structure, rules or laws allowing the prediction of a spontaneous transformation, microscopic modeling of a chemical transformation and the classification of the different ox/red pairs, based on standard potentials. The results of these two studies reveal that preservice and in-service teachers have epistemological deficiency related to the knowledge to be taught and are unable to mobilize the appropriate knowledge to solve practical chemistry problems. Consequently, they cannot mentor learners to acquire the skills assigned in the chemistry curriculum: in particular, solving the problems providing from real and daily life. Individual interviews allowed us to better explain the dysfunctions causing these difficulties.

Authors: Luta Jehona , Beqaj Zhjeqi Valbona , Cruz Laura , Thaçi Diellza
Published: May 2023

In this survey-based research study, we identify student perceptions of the teaching methods used by instructors in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Pristina, Kosovo’s flagship public university. Of the 250 student respondents, the majority indicated satisfaction with survey items related to instructional activities such as the content of the lectures, the implementation of the syllabus, and appropriate assessment. On the other hand, the respondents rated technology integration, advanced active learning strategies such as problem-based learning, simulation/role-play, and debates among the lowest. Overall, students disagreed with the statement that their instructors utilized contemporary pedagogical strategies in their instruction. In conclusion, raising student satisfaction with teaching strategies is a matter of strategic importance for strengthening the healthcare workforce both for Kosovo and others around the world. The results of this study suggest that, in Kosovo, student satisfaction with foundational practices, such as active learning, can be expanded through the incorporation of technology mediated and advanced pedagogical strategies. To remain competitive in a global marketplace, both students and instructors will likely need to adopt forward-looking practices that are different from their prior experiences.

Published: May 2023

The choice between progressive and flat tax systems is widely debated not only in the public finance but usually associated with political and government issues. The fiscal policies are essential key points of political platforms because of their role on the public life. Albania for several years has applied the flat tax which from that government was called the revolution tax, while since 2014 up to now is applied the progressive taxation. While the flat tax system is often highlighted for its simplicity and the administration facilities, the progressive tax system is favored for its ability to reduce income inequality and promote social justice. This paper presents a comparative study of the advantages and disadvantages of progressive and flat tax systems in Albania, with a focus on the policy implications for sustainable economic and social development. This study initially realizes a literature review on the main theoretical considerations for progressive taxation and flat taxation also reflecting the advantages and the disadvantages for each of these forms of taxation. From the practical point of view this article compares flat taxation and progressive taxation through the available data investigating the progress of each of them and the impact they have had on economic growth.

Kapsam, ölçek ve yoğunluk ekonomilerinden faydalanmak isteyen havayolu firmaları  operasyonel maliyetlerini azaltmak ve uçuş ağlarını artırmak gibi hedefler temelinde işbirliği oluşturmaktadırlar. Bununla birlikte işbirliğine dahil olan birçok firma bir yandan uçuş maliyetlerini azaltırken diğer taraftan, öngörülemeyen işlem maliyetlerine de katlanmak durumunda kalmaktadır.  Bu kapsamda bu çalışmada stratejik havayolu işbirliklerine dahil olan toplam 59 küresel havayolu firmasının oluşturdukları işbirlikleri işlem maliyeti yaklaşımıyla araştırılmıştır. Araştırma online anket yoluyla işbirliğine dahil olan havayolu firmalarının  orta ve üst düzey yöneticilerinden  toplam 85 katılımcıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Partner güvenilirliği, fırsatçı davranış, ve işbirliği çıktısı değişkenleriyle oluşturulan teorik model çerçevesinde PLS-YEM programı kullanılarak veriler analiz edilmiştir. Kurgulanan hipotezler verilerin yapısına göre yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda işlem maliyeti yaklaşımının temel varsayımlarının hepsinin desteklendiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Partner güvenilirliği değişkeninin fırsatçı davranışı tahmin etmede, fırsatçı davranışın da işbirliği çıktısını tahmin etme noktasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir sonuç verdiğine ulaşılmıştır.

Climate change and variability pose a major challenge facing the agricultural sector around the world and trends are feared to intensify by 2050. This is likely to complicate agricultural decisions affecting local communities who depend on the sector for their livelihood. Seasonal changes in weather patterns are projected to reduce food production due to the reduction in average yields of common food crops. With the majority of smallholder farmers in Uganda depending on agriculture for survival, building their adaptive capacity to climate change is vital to ensure household food and income security. This study aimed at establishing the smallholder farmers’ perceptions of climate change and their initiatives to cope with and manage the associated risks. A sample of 126 farming households were randomly selected from three Sub counties in Isingiro District and studied using field observations and questionnaires. Key informant interviews were also conducted with three extension workers. The collected data was analysed using Stata 14 and Excel. The findings revealed that there was increasing awareness of the climate change and variability challenge among smallholder farmers with the increasing need to take on adaptation strategies. The results showed that the major perceived changes were, increased intensity and frequency of droughts (98%), increase in daytime temperatures (92.7%), decrease in rainfall intensity (92.1%) and changes in rainfall distribution patterns (90%). It also showed that different initiatives had been taken by farmers to cope with the changes like changing planting dates (92.1%), growing crop variety mixtures (73.8%) and practising soil and water conservation (62.7%). Based on the findings of this study, smallholder farmers greatly perceived climate change and variability with negative impacts imposed on their farming operations. Although farmers have tried to adapt, there is still a need to support their coping strategies through appropriate policies. This will facilitate increased adoption of adaptation measures, thereby reducing the negative consequences of climate change in future

Response-repetition costs in task switching do not index a simple response-switch bias: Evidence from manipulating the number of response alternatives

Response repetitions aid performance when a task repeats but impair performance when a task switches. Although this interaction is robust, theoretical accounts remain controversial. Here, we used an un-cued, predictable task-switching paradigm with univalent targets to explore whether a simple bias to switch the response when the task switches can explain the interaction. In Experiment 1A (n = 40), we replicated the basic interaction in a two-choice task. In Experiment 1B (n = 60), we observed the same interaction in a three-choice task, wherein a bias to switch the response when the task switches cannot prime a specific alternative response because both remaining response alternatives are equally likely. Exploratory comparisons revealed a larger interaction between task repetition and response repetition in the three-choice task than in the two-choice task for mean response time (RT) and the opposite pattern for mean error rate (ER). Critically, in the three-choice task, response-repetition costs in task switches were significant in both RT and ER. Since a bias to switch the response cannot prime a specific response alternative in a three-choice task, we conclude that such a bias cannot account for response-repetition costs in task-switch trials.
A Letter is a Letter and its Co-Occurrences: Cracking the Emergence of Position-Invariance Processing
Authors: Fernández-López Maria , Perea Manuel
Published: May 2023

Visual word recognition requires encoding letter identities and positions (orthographic processing). The present study focuses on the emergence of the mechanism responsible for encoding letter order in a word: position invariance. Reading experience leads to developing a flexible mechanism that encodes the information of the position of letters, explaining why and are easily confused. Critically, orthographic regularities (e.g., frequent letter co-occurrences) modulate letter position encoding: the pseudoword is extremely similar to because, in middle positions, the bigram is much more frequent than . Here, we tested whether position invariance emerges rapidly after the exposition to orthographic regularities—bigrams—in a novel script. To that end, we designed a study with two phases. In Phase 1, following Chetail (2017; Experiment 1b, Cognition, 163, 103–120), individuals were first exposed to a flow of artificial words for a few minutes, with four bigrams occurring frequently. Afterward, participants judged the strings with trained bigrams as more wordlike (i.e., readers quickly picked up subtle new orthographic regularities) than the strings with untrained bigrams, replicating Chetail (2017). In Phase 2, participants performed a same–different matching task in which they had to decide whether pairs of five-letter strings were the same or not. The critical comparison was between pairs with a transposition of letters in a frequent (trained) versus infrequent (untrained) bigram. Results showed that participants were more prone to make errors with frequent bigrams than with infrequent bigrams with a letter transposition. These findings reveal that position invariance emerges rapidly, after continuous exposure to orthographic regularities.
