«Não se convida a juventude para um enterro»: as reacções e as representações da direita radical portuguesa acerca da Revolução de 25 de Abril de 1974 (1974-1985)
Authors: Madeira Bruno
Published: September 2023

A revolução de 25 de Abril de 1974 e o derrube do Estado Novo provocaram uma transformação radical das estruturas políticas portuguesas e da sua orientação ideológica. As direitas radicais, que, durante a ditadura, se dividiram entre o apoio à Situação e a formação de grupos ultra que reivindicavam o aprofundamento da natureza nacional-revolucionária do regime, viram-se, subitamente, na necessidade de se reinventar e de disputar o poder com forças dotadas do prestígio da resistência. Este artigo apresenta e discute as representações que este campo político propôs, na primeira década de democracia em Portugal, acerca da Ditadura Militar, do salazarismo, do marcelismo, da revolução e do processo de democratização do país. A partir da análise das publicações periódicas que, sobretudo a partir da reorganização de 1976, começaram o trabalho de inculcação da narrativa da direita radical na sociedade portuguesa, das iniciativas editoriais que os principais quadros e agitadores desta área política animaram e dos documentos programáticos e propagandísticos que os partidos da extrema-direita publicaram entre 25 de Abril e 28 de Setembro de 1974, problematizamos a evolução do discurso acerca da democracia e do pluralismo partidário e o projecto de país e de sociedade que propunham.

Upaya Guru dalam Menanamkan Pendidikan Karakter Peduli Lingkungan Pada Siswa Kelas 4 di MI Hidayatul Mubtadi’in 1 Cibeber
Authors: Muarofah Eva , Mubarok Frenky , Sanuri Sanuri
Published: September 2023

Character education is an attitude and action that always tries to prevent damage to the surrounding natural environment, and develops efforts to repair the damage to nature that has already occurred. The problem in this study is that even though environmental care activities have been implemented, there is still a lack of student interest in caring for the environment resulting in students becoming less responsible and disciplined. This study aims to describe the efforts of teachers in instilling environmental care character education at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Hidayatul Mubtadi'in 1 Cibeber. The subjects of this study were grade 4 students at the Hidayatul Mubtadi'in 1 Cibeber Elementary School, Sukagumiwang District, Indramayu Regency. The object of this research is character education that cares for the environment. Data collection techniques using observation techniques, interviews and documentation. The results of research through observation and interviews show that grade 4 students' environmental awareness has shown concern for the school environment and maintaining personal hygiene. This can be seen from the state of the class and school which is clean and tidy. Here it is clear that students' concern for the environment can influence the moral formation of students, especially moral discipline and responsibility in protecting and caring for the environment. Obstacles faced by teachers in instilling environmental care character education for grade 4 students at MI Hidayatul Mubtadi'in 1 Cibeber School are student habits and exemplary behavior. This can be seen from the fact that there are still some students who do not care about the school environment. Obstacles related to student habits are that students still have to be reminded by the teacher in their implementation. The obstacle related to exemplary is that the teacher has not provided exemplary thoroughly to students, both time, place and situation.
ЗАРУБЕЖНЫЙ ОПЫТ ПРОВЕДЕНИЯ АУДИТА ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТИ ПОЛИТИКИ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ЦЕЛЕЙ УСТОЙЧИВОГО РАЗВИТИЯ
Authors: Нурланова Маркен , Ермаханов Ербол
Published: September 2023

В статье рассмотрен зарубежный опыт в сфере оценки реализации правительствами стран мира Целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР), а также опыт проведения аудита эффективности реализации отдельных ЦУР, а конкретно ЦУР 10 «Снижение неравенства внутри стран и между ними». В Казахстане аудит реализации Целей устойчивого развития не проводился, но в ближайшей перспективе по мере продвижения принципов устойчивого развития в национальную систему стратегического планирования и управления, необходимо будет оценить усилия Правительства в этой сфере и прогресс в достижении отдельных ЦУР, в том числе и путем проведения государственного аудита по данному вопросу. Можно выделить два вида аудита реализации ЦУР на различных этапах внедрения ЦУР в национальную повестку: 1) аудит готовности системы государственного управления страны к реализации ЦУР и соответствие национальных целей Целям устойчивого развития; 2) аудит эффективности достижения ЦУР (всех Целей в комплексе или выделение в приоритете оценки реализации отдельной ЦУР).

В статье также рассмотрены усилия ИНТОСАИ, Инициативы развития ИНТОСАИ (IDI), Комитета по обмену опытом ИНТОСАИ (KSC) и других партнеров по организации методологической поддержки ВОА стран в целях проведения ими высококачественного аудита ЦУР. Также разобраны примеры проведенных аудитов реализации ЦУР по опыту ВОА Финляндии и Бразилии с описанием целей, вопросов, выводов аудита и рекомендации аудиторов для Правительств стран.

В ходе аудита согласованных на национальном уровне целей, связанных с реализацией ЦУР, ВОА стран могут проанализировать меры национальных правительств по активному продвижению принципа устойчивого развития «Никто не должен остаться в стороне». Причем аудит реализации мер по ЦУР 10 - по снижению неравенства прямо коррелирует с реализацией данного принципа инклюзивности. В рамках представленной статьи проанализированы сайты ВОА стран на наличие в их аудиторских отчетах публикаций в сфере аудита мер государственной политики по снижению неравенства в различных его измерениях и представлениях (неравенство доходов, образовательное неравенство, гендерное неравенство, неравенство в обеспеченности жильем и прочее).

В ходе изучения материалов аудитов реализации ЦУР систематизированы факторы, способствовавшие и препятствующие успешному осуществлению правительственных действий в реализацию ЦУР, а также критерии оценки механизма мониторинга, формирования отчетности и контроля за реализацией ЦУР.
CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON THE AUDIT OF STATE ASSETS
Authors: Shulenbayeva Gaisha , Amankeldi Aigul , Serikbayeva Saule
Published: September 2023

In order to understand the impact of digital and artificial intelligence on auditing, it is important for professionals to understand the forces driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution. One of these forces is the explosive growth of data that fuels digital technology. Another force is the acceleration of the pace of change, which brings additional complexity in managing trust in an environment that is becoming increasingly insecure. For example, cyberattacks are becoming more complex and large-scale. Social media also creates new risks.

In the field of auditing, first of all we need to understand the ongoing transformations, the types of risks and controls that need to be audited. On the other hand, these trends also open up new opportunities for accounting and auditing professionals.

There is an active platform for audit professionals to understand these changes. For example, two years ago, an Ernst & Young survey showed that 74% of executives said they had no strategic plans for artificial intelligence. A year later, exactly the same survey results showed that 73% of managers are already ready to implement artificial intelligence (AI) or plan to implement it in the next 2 years. The second statistic provided by the World Economic Forum shows that 30% of every corporate audit will be performed by artificial intelligence by 2025. Finally, the OECD has counted more than 200 ongoing public sector audit blockchain initiatives in 46 countries.

They show the importance of being prepared for this changing environment. To deal with these challenges, audit and finance professionals need to understand (i) how “what” they have to analyse is changing, (ii) the new risks that are emerging, (iii) the new opportunities offered by these disruptive technologies.
ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ АУДИТ ФИНАНСОВОЙ ОТЧЕТНОСТИ МИНИСТЕРСТВА ФИНАНСОВ: РЕАЛИИ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ
Authors: Бектурова Арман , Сембиева Ляззат
Published: September 2023

Министерство финансов является уполномоченным органом по планированию, исполнению, внутреннему аудиту, реализует ряд политик в сфере учета, государственных закупок и осуществляет вместе с 4 ведомствами более 700 функций. Будучи главной бухгалтерией страны и определителем финансовых потоков, деятельность Министерства финансов и его аудированная отчетность всегда будет вызывать интерес со стороны общества.  Авторы, рассмотрев оценку консолидированной финансовой отчетности республиканского бюджета, предлагают оцифровать требования международных стандартов аудита.
В дальнейшем, убедившись в соответствии процедур стандартам уже на основе информационной системы, можно будет проводить полноценный горизонтальный и вертикальный анализ по транзакциям и потокам всего Правительства.
Оценки Высшей аудиторской палаты по результатам 2020 и 2021 годов показывают наличие вопросов в отчетности Правительства. В данном контексте имеются в виду оценки КФО, отраженные в заключении к отчету Правительства, по которым на тот момент не были подготовлены нормативно-правовые акты. Процедурный стандарт по аудиту финансовой отчетности КФО был подготовлен позже 25 декабря 2020 года.  Между тем, отсутствие анализа больших данных не дает возможность понять первопричину искажений.
В свою очередь, отсутствие анализа первопричин препятствует предупреждению системных искажений.
Поступательное изменение стандартов и практик показывает нацеленность регуляторов на подотчетность и прозрачность. Оценка финансовой отчетности важного государственного органа может показать зоны риска и выступить хорошим инструментом самооценки для самих органов аудита.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma sequência didática com objetivo de promover práticas que oportunizem a participação crítica de estudantes dos anos finais do ensino fundamental, de uma escola estadual do município de Poxoréu, no Estado de Mato Grosso, em ambiente virtual de aprendizagem – WhatsApp e Google Meet -, utilizando o gênero meme em atividades próprias da cultura digital. Definido por Marcuschi (2009) como entidade sócio-discursiva e forma de ação social incontornáveis em qualquer situação comunicativa, o meme se tornou bem popular entre os jovens, disseminando ideias, piadas ou comportamentos. Mediante revisão bibliográfica, este trabalho apresenta, ainda, uma visão concisa do meme, considerando sua estrutura, tipos de enunciados, inserção sociocultural e práticas sociais a ele atreladas. Assim, como suporte teórico metodológico, os autores Dawkins (1979); Fontanella (2004); Marcuschi (2009) e Shifman (2014) foram fundamentais para compreensão do tema abordado. Ademais, a sequência didática foi realizada nos moldes de Dolz, Noverraz e Schneuwly (2004). Por fim, o trabalho realizado resultou em uma troca de experiência bastante significativa em que os envolvidos demonstraram interesse e compreensão das questões sócio-discursivas dos memes. Ademais, conclui-se que a utilização de material digital de forma dinâmica possibilita uma aprendizagem efetiva e significativa.

Existem muitos fatores que podem influenciar a alimentação conforme envelhecemos como o planejamento e preparo das refeições, a situação econômica, a solidão, a perda de apetite, dentre outros. Estes fatores interferem diretamente na alimentação adequada saudável, levando ao comprometimento da qualidade de vida nos indivíduos. Neste sentido, a manutenção do bom estado nutricional é uma excelente ferramenta para aferir também qualidade de vida e saúde. Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar o estado nutricional e risco metabólico de idosos institucionalizados. Para o diagnóstico do estado nutricional dos idosos utilizou-se diferentes critérios: Índice de massa corporal, circunferência do braço, circunferência da cintura, relação cintura quadril e relação circunferência estatura. No presente estudo observamos que de acordo com o IMC, 11 (32,3%) indivíduos apresentavam baixo peso, 12 (35,2%) eutrofia, 3 (8,8%) sobrepeso e 9 (26,4%) obesidade. O acúmulo de gordura abdominal prevaleceu no presente estudo, principalmente no sexo feminino. A partir dos resultados encontrados, pode-se verificar que os idosos institucionalizados do estudo apresentaram elevado risco cardiometabólico em todos os parâmetros avaliados, em ambos os sexos, sendo esse, um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento e/ou agravamento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis.
To use virtual gamification through the wordwall platform in high school for understanding genetics and its relation to cancer
Authors: Cardoso Filho Otávio , Rodrigues Sara Emanuelle Ribeiro , Soares Mariana Moura , Silva Angela Cristina Rodrigues
Published: September 2023

Genetics-related topics are complex, and students often struggle to grasp them. Therefore, the use of educational games is recommended, as they incorporate methodologies that connect theoretical knowledge with playful elements. This study aimed to assess the contribution of a game created on the Wordwall platform to high school students' understanding of genetics and its relationship with cancer development. To achieve this, a questionnaire was administered, consisting of questions at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, to assess students' prior knowledge of the subject matter. Following this, a lecture was delivered, explaining genetic concepts and processes while relating them to various malignant neoplasms. Subsequently, students were provided with a link to access the educational game via WhatsApp, using their smartphones. Those without electronic devices completed the virtual activity using school computer lab computers. After playing the game, an increase in the percentage of correct answers was observed at all three knowledge levels: basic knowledge increased by 43.85%, intermediate by 35.9%, and advanced by 43.3%. Participation in the interactive game facilitated a better understanding of the subject matter for students and encouraged skills such as logical reasoning, creativity, problem-solving, and socialization among peers.
Numerical investigation of filtering cyclones using response surface methodology and CFD simulation approaches
Authors: Gonçalves João Carlos , Arouca Fábio de Oliveira , Damasceno João Jorge Ribeiro
Published: September 2023

The cyclone separator pressure drop depends on the geometry and the operating conditions. Alternative equipment to decrease pressure drop is the filtering device. In this paper, the effect of inlet height, inlet flow rate, and conical section permeability about the filtering cyclone performance (Euler number) is studied through CFD simulations. The experimental and numerical results indicate that the turbulence model Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) reasonably predict the pressure drop in high swirling flows in filtering cyclones. CFD simulations suggest the Euler number increase with the increase of inlet height and decrease with the increase of flow rate and permeability. However, there is an interaction between the permeability with the other two variables. Therefore, this study suggests that CFD models can be used as instruments to evaluate same structural and operational variables in the filtering cyclone performance.

Published: September 2023

A vacinação é uma das medidas mais eficazes na prevenção e promoção de saúde. Os imunizantes devem estar presentes em todas as etapas da vida. Dentre as vacinas indicadas pelo Ministério da Saúde, destaca-se Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Esta vacina previne graves formas de tuberculose - doença contagiosa, provocada por Mycobacterium tuberculosis. O trabalho objetiva avaliar a cobertura da vacina BCG no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), e realizar análise comparativa com dados brasileiros no período 2017 à 2021. Este é um estudo transversal de natureza ecológica, caracterizado por sua abordagem quantitativa e descritiva. Ele abrange uma análise de séries temporais da cobertura vacinal da vacina BCG no estado do RS no período de 2017 à 2021. O Rio Grande do Sul apresentou média de cobertura vacinal de 85,65% e, o Brasil, apresentou média de 85,04%. Apesar do Rio Grande do Sul apresentar a cobertura vacinal de BCG acima da média brasileira, os valores apresentados ainda não são o suficiente para o reconhecimento de uma cobertura vacinal adequada. Portanto, destaca-se a necessidade de um maior incentivo à vacinação por parte do governo e uma maior compreensão da importância que essa atitude tem na saúde infantil, por parte das famílias.
Crianças, infâncias e educação infantil: o que pensam os educadores de creche?
Authors: Lima Laíse Soares
Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar como os educadores de creche reconhecem as crianças, suas infâncias e as singularidades do trabalho pedagógico nas instituições de educação infantil. Proveniente de uma pesquisa com educadores de duas creches municipais do estado de Sergipe, utilizamos como aporte metodológico a pesquisa-ação-colaborativa-crítica, tendo como material para produção dos dados um questionário semiestruturado, que busca reconhecer as concepções iniciais dos educadores. O estudo se fundamenta em aportes da Sociologia da Infância e em pesquisadores que se debruçam sobre a educação infantil e suas particularidades, tendo a LDB 9394/96 e as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para Educação Infantil como base referencial. Entre os resultados encontrados, podemos perceber que os educadores percebem a infância como momento de descobertas e desenvolvimentos para o adulto do futuro, sendo a criança um ser brincante e inocente. O que nos faz defender a infância enquanto etapa vivencial de desenvolvimento integral do ser humano, negando a formação para o amanhã e reconhecendo que há uma criança no presente, com singularidades e capacidades próprias que podem interferir na dinâmica social. Logo, a educação infantil possui o papel de auxiliar o processo de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem das crianças envolvendo ações de cuidado e educação que permitam interações e expressões múltiplas, garantindo a participação das crianças nas práticas pedagógicas. Dados que revelam a importância da formação do educador infantil e do seu trabalho possuir um caráter polivalente, considerando os distintos campos de experiência a serem aprofundados com as crianças.

Additionally, this understanding helps to maintain a realistic, balanced perspective, allowing us to avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive or unfounded fear stirred by the current AI hype and related exaggerated promises. A selection of AI applications offers insights into specific tasks for which generative AI can be effectively utilised. These applications can truly make a difference by saving time, streamlining workflows, and potentially enhancing the quality of the resulting outputs.
Analysis of mastoid portion of facial nerve course in temporal bone using computed tomography
Authors: Szot Paulina , Płachta Iga , Nagórska Emilia , Brożek-Mądry Eliza
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The facial nerve (FN) follows a complex route in the temporal bone. Successful temporal bone surgery requires knowledge of its course which can be achieved using imaging methods such as computed tomography. This investigation aims to analyze the FN course in its mastoid portion and second genu and the frequency of its atypical course.

 Material and methods: This is a retrospective study that enrolled 104 CT scans of temporal bones of patients followed up in the outpatient clinic of the Otorhinolaryngology Department of Dentistry Faculty of the Medical University of Warsaw between 2020 and 2022. FN courses were classified as straight, bulging, or letter “S”-like. Other parameters estimated:
 • position of the second genu according to the prominence of the lateral semicircular canal (classified as lateral, medial, or middle) and its distance from a line adjacent to the lateral semicircular canal was measured;
 • the distance between the short process of the incus and the outermost point of the second genu;
 • the course of the mastoid portion of FN and the location of SG in comparison to the tympanic portion of n. VII. The course was later classified as lateral, medial, or middle.

 Results: Among the 104 assessed temporal bones, the course of the mastoid portion of FN was classified as bulging in 47 cases (45.2%). Straight and letter “S”-like courses were present in 41 (39.4%) and 16 (15.4%) cases, respectively. Deviation of the second genu according to the prominence of the lateral semicircular canal was medial in 86 cases (82.7%), and middle in 4 cases (3.8%). In the rest, second genu was paramedian to the prominence of the later circular canal. The mean distance between the short process of the incus and the outermost point of SG was 4.9 mm (0.73 mm). The mastoid portion was located laterally, medially, and in the middle of the tympanic portion plane in, respectively, 4.8%, 83.7%, and 11.5%. The second genu was located laterally, medially, and in the middle of the tympanic portion plane in 1.9%, 73.1%, and 25%, respectively. In conclusion, seven temporal bones (6.7%) of five patients presented with a lateral displacement of FN in relation to the established anatomical landmarks.

 Conclusions: Although the atypical course of FN, including the lateral displacement of the mastoid portion, is rare, screening for it is crucial before surgical exploration.
Difficult glottis: Diagnostic dilemma in viewof the clinical presentation
Authors: Klimza Hanna , Witkiewicz Joanna , Jackowska Joanna , Wierzbicka Małgorzata
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The taxonomy of vocal fold lesions has been refined, and it serves as a common descriptive language for diagnosis, treatment algorithms, and reporting of outcomes. However, we observe rare cases when numerous pathologies overlap, resulting in an unclear and complicated clinical presentation of the glottis.

Aim: The aim of this paper is to present cases of overlapping etiopathological factors which poses a challenge when making a diagnosis and referring a patient for adequate treatment.

Material and method: The study presents different photographs of the glottis, including some unique and unusual images in which overlapping pathologies were captured. The photographs are accompanied by case descriptions, comments, and pathological analyses.

Results: Four selected photographs showed a bunch of exophytic growth lesions with foci of whitish plaques, covered by yellowish crusts, with thinned, reddened vocal folds presenting foci of leukoplakia. The study discussed possible causes of vocal folds edema, diffuse erythema, presence of crusts or exudate, whitish debris/plaques or development of leukoplakia, non-neoplastic ulceration, as well as injected and reddened mucous membrane. Chronic infectious laryngitis, idiopathic ulcerative laryngitis, and drug-induced laryngitis were also mentioned. The study also raised the issues concerning diabetics and patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids, including candidiasis and primary aspergillosis of the larynx.

Conclusions: To conclude, everyday clinical practice involves encountering cases of unclear onset and course, with complicated presentation of the glottis. Therefore, comprehensive history-taking and thorough investigation of systemic causes are of immense importance. Recommended management includes conducting the most meticulous differential diagnosis, implementing treatment for the most likely cause, and, whenever possible, refraining from biopsy in order to avoid permanent damage to vocal cords.
Rene Girard and the phenomenology of mimetic desire
Authors: Moss Gregory
Published: September 2023

René Girard has been critiqued for failing to ground his theory of mimetic desire in a discursive and philosophically robust framework. In order to meet this objection, I argue that René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire can be successfully motivated by a phenomenology of the emptiness of selfhood and intersubjectivity. After grounding Girard’s theory in a phenomenology of no-self, I reconstruct Girard’s argument that violence is a necessary consequence of internally mediated mimetic desire
Via Pulchritudinis: the narrative of violence and vulnerability in painting in view of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic aesthetics
Authors: Holda Malgorzata
Published: September 2023

In the article, I explore the many faces of violence and vulnerability evoked in religious and secular painting. Drawing upon Hans-Georg Gadamer’s phenomenology of art as play, I aim to show that the creative activity of both the artist and the viewer exceeds the mere actualization of the past event or the instantiation of poetic fantasy. Bringing into conversation Bosch’s, Caravaggio’s, Millais’s, and Waterhouse’s masterpieces, this essay interrogates how their embodiments of the uncanny proximity of violence and vulnerability as two conflicting sides of our human experience complicate the expected symmetry and clear-cut distinction between belligerency and gentleness, powerfulness and the powerlessness, benevolence and malevolence. Inviting us to appreciate the authenticity of their subtle meanings in the continuous veiling and unveiling (Verbegung/Entbergung) of truth, the selected artworks prompt, simultaneously, a possibility of our self-recognition. In the process of our patient tarrying in front of them, we are called on to attend to and acknowledge the more complex realities that speak to our lived experience and defy its apparent homogeneity.
The power of imagination In The Red Shoes
Authors: Drapało Kamila
Published: September 2023

In the 1948 movie The Red Shoes, the power of imagination and artistic vocation are metaphorically represented as a pair of red dancing shoes. Just as in Andersen’s fable, the shoes are enchanted: they can open up new horizons and possibilities of existence and artistic expression to the one that wears them. But their inexhaustible power can also possess her, demand complete devotion, or even dance her to death. A hermeneutic reading of the three key scenes from the movie inspires a reflection on the dialectics of the power of imagination and its productive as well as destructive potential.

Additionally, a lot of the OMPs that have beenfound are resistant to biodegradation, allowing the possibility of persistence and accumulationin the ecosystem. Although they are present in small amounts, they have the potential to causemajor health issues, such as cancer. Recent studies showed that ultrasonication is very successful inremoving numerous hazardous OMPs from water. However, there is a tendency of combining thismethod with other advanced oxidation processes because of some of this technology’s limitations.This study provided additional evidence that ultrasonication is a highly effective approach forremoving micropollutants from rainwater. The efficiency of this technique can even be higher than80%. Moreover, the addition of ozone and hydrogen peroxide during ultrasonication increased theremoval ratio significantly, which was proportional to the oxidant dosage.

Leucaena leucocephala (subabul) has been recently reported as a host plant of the polyphagous whitefly Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius) from India. A study was carried out on the population dynamics of this whitefly on leucaena for two years and it revealed that its populations reached a peak (121.58 and 134.83 adults per two leaves) in September. The spatial distribution pattern revealed that it is always an aggregated dispersion (Taylor’s Power Law) in all the strata but more aggregation in the middle leaves (b = 3.123). Linear association between population and weather factors revealed that maximum and minimum temperature had a significant positive correlation (r = 0.60, 0.54). The sex ratio in the field varied from 1:1.9 to 1:4.9 (male: female).The present observations indicate that incidence of B. tabaci on L. leucocephala, is an adaptation to a suitable host so as to survive during the winter season when the lowest temperature is about 2-4°C.
Energy market manipulation: Criminal law analysis and signs
Authors: Botnarenko Iryna , Kryzhna Valentyna
Published: September 2023

Article 42 of the Constitution of Ukraine establishes the principles of preventing abuse of a monopoly position in the market and unfair competition in economic activity. Manipulation of the Energy Market – an act that violates the procedure for state regulation of the electric energy market and the natural gas market approved by the current legislation – poses an increased public danger. The purpose of the study is to investigate objective signs of manipulation in the energy market as part of a criminal offence under Article 222-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Within the framework of the study, a complex of scientific methods was applied: dialectical, hermeneutical, systemic, formal logical, generalisation, system and structural, method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, analysis, and synthesis. It is proved that the object of manipulation in the energy market is covered by public relations that control the procedure for state regulation of the electric energy market and the natural gas market approved by the current legislation – the implementation by the state of comprehensive measures to manage the demand, prices, and volumes of the wholesale energy market, prevent abuse and violations in this area. The criminal legal content of the concept of “manipulation” is determined by the deliberate activity of a person(s) who violate the conditions of functioning of the wholesale energy market, is carried out by performing a set of illegal actions, the purpose of which is to obtain financial benefits for themselves and third parties, by changing the price of a financial asset. The essence of manipulation of the wholesale energy market is highlighted through its inherent features, which indicate a violation of the conditions necessary for making transactions on the wholesale energy market and a deviation of the asset price from the real market price in the right direction for manipulators (the presence of a process of overstating (underestimating) the total price of the contract, which leads to the loss of its market status). The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the analysis carried out is of auxiliary importance for law enforcement practice in solving issues related to the legal qualification of manipulation in the energy market
Family, Procreation, and Continuity in Two Selected Nigerian Novels
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Msilikale Happiness
Published: September 2023

This article examines the linkage between family, procreation and human development as depicted in Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives (2010) and Adebayo’s Stay with Me (2017). The analysis places meanings the literary texts in respective historical and cultural contexts much in New Historicism assumptions. The attraction to New Historicism arose because of its inclination towards understanding intellectual history through literature and literature through its cultural context. The article argues that The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives and Stay with Me examine a triad of procreation, women’s culture of silence, and economic empowerment in their respective depictions as the driving force of “any marriage” crucial in socio-economic development. In the two novels, women get blame for childlessness even when male characters are metaphorically to blame. Moreover, the silence of women characters on infertility of their husbands in the novels undermines them while elevating the status of the otherwise dysfunctional and emasculated male characters. On the other hand, both novels empower women economically which ultimately debunks the traditional gender role, which make women dependent on men. Overall, the two novels suggest the need for further social, economic, and political reforms in African marriages with a changed way of how married African women behave.

Introduction:
In gender determination, facial skeletal components play a major role in forensic and anthropological fields. Skull is considered second best, after pelvis, in determination of sex. Mandible is the strongest bone in the body and most dimorphic bone of the skull that often recovered intact.
Aims:
The purpose of the present study was to measure, compare and evaluate the mandibular parameters gonial angle and relative position of the mental foramen as sex predictors in an Eastern Indian population.
Material and methods:
Panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalograms of the sampled patients were analysed for relative position of mental foramen and gonial angle respectively. This cross-sectionalretrospective study was carried out utilizing radiographs of 100 patients (58 females and 42males) between age 18-44 years. A total of 5 measurements were evaluated for sex differences and the results were subjected to statistical analysis.
Results:
Our study found that females showed statistically significant higher gonial angle values than males whereas the values of linear measurements of mental foramen were found to be higher in males than females.
Conclusion:
The assessment of mandibular morphology through radiographic measurements suggest that gonial angle and mental foramen parameters exhibit significant gender dimorphism and it is a reliable indicator in estimating an individual’s gender when comparing to a known population standard.
