Epigenetic Reprogramming and Landscape of Transcriptomic
Interactions: Impending Therapeutic Interference of Triple-Negative
Breast Cancer in Molecular Medicine
Authors: Ray Suman Kumar , Mukherjee Sukhes
Published: December 2021

:

The mechanisms governing the development and progression of cancers are
believed to be the consequence of hereditary deformities and epigenetic modifications.
Accordingly, epigenetics has become an incredible and progressively explored field of
research to discover better prevention and therapy for neoplasia, especially triple-negative
breast cancer (TNBC). It represents 15–20% of all invasive breast cancers and will, in
general, have bellicose histological highlights and poor clinical outcomes. In the early
phases of triple-negative breast carcinogenesis, epigenetic deregulation modifies
chromatin structure and influences the plasticity of cells. It up-keeps the oncogenic
reprogramming of malignant progenitor cells with the acquisition of unrestrained selfrenewal
capacities. Genomic impulsiveness in TNBC prompts mutations, copy number
variations, as well as genetic rearrangements, while epigenetic remodeling includes an
amendment by DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs of gene
expression profiles. It is currently evident that epigenetic mechanisms assume a
significant part in the pathogenesis, maintenance, and therapeutic resistance of TNBC.
Although TNBC is a heterogeneous malaise that is perplexing to describe and treat, the
ongoing explosion of genetic and epigenetic research will help to expand these
endeavors. Latest developments in transcriptome analysis have reformed our
understanding of human diseases, including TNBC at the molecular medicine level. It is
appealing to envision transcriptomic biomarkers to comprehend tumor behavior more
readily regarding its cellular microenvironment. Understanding these essential biomarkers
and molecular changes will propel our capability to treat TNBC adequately. This review
will depict the different aspects of epigenetics and the landscape of transcriptomics in
triple-negative breast carcinogenesis and their impending application for diagnosis,
prognosis, and treatment decision with the view of molecular medicine.
HIV Stigma Reduction Interventions Among Health Care Providers and
Students in Different Countries: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mohammadifirouzeh Mona , Oh Kyeung Mi , Tanner Susan
Published: December 2021

Background:

Health care providers’ stigmatizing attitudes are obstacles to patients’ well-
being and quality of life. Dealing with HIV-related stigma and understanding the impact of feasible
interventions on reducing stigmatizing attitudes among health care providers are considered important
strategies to improve the quality of HIV care, patient-provider relationships, and provide
supportive and safe care services.

Objectives:

The aim of this study was to systematically review interventions to reduce HIV-related
stigma among health care providers.

Methods:

This systematic review was performed using Medline, CINAHL, ERIC, and APA PsycInfo,
Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition to search for quasi-experimental studies and randomized
controlled trials (RCTs) designed to reduce HIV stigma among health care providers. The
quality of eligible research studies was independently appraised by two reviewers.

Results:

A total of 774 studies were screened, 100 articles were assessed for eligibility, and 10
studies met the inclusion criteria. All interventions effectively reduced HIV-related stigma. Elements
of successful interventions included knowledge modules, peer education, patients’ testimonials,
Photovoice-informed stigma reduction training, stigma-free space intervention, and popular
opinion leaders. Interventions were assessed and compared in terms of contents, delivery modes,
HIV stigma measurements, follow-up, and limitations.

Conclusions:

This systematic review supports the effectiveness of in-person educational interventions
at reducing HIV-related stigma among health care providers across countries. Comparisons of
delivery modes of interventions indicated that educational interventions delivered by patients’ testimonials
and peer education strategies are more promising than lecture-based teaching methods. Further
studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of interventions on clinical behaviors and
practices.
A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis of the Effectiveness of Peer- versus Faculty-led Simulation for Clinical Skills Acquisition in Undergraduate Student Nurses. MSc Project Findings
Authors: Clarke Daniel , Williamson Graham , Stebbings Andrea
Published: December 2021

Background:

Clinical skills learning is an integral part of undergraduate nursing programmes in United Kingdom nurse education. Faculty staff teach some elements of clinical skills, and some are taught by clinicians in practice. International evidence indicates that some students feel overly anxious when taught by faculty members but less so with their peers, meaning that peer-led clinical skills teaching and learning might reduce anxiety and facilitate the acquisition and retention of skills education.

Objective:

The objective of this systematic review was to explore the research relating to undergraduate student nurses’ acquisition of skills within the simulation setting, particularly the associations between peer-led and lecturer-led learning.

Methods:

A systematic review of the literature was used to find all available evidence. A search of nine healthcare databases using Boolean and MeSH search terms including ‘Peer-to-peer’, ‘Clinical Skill*’, ‘Simulat*’, and ‘Student Nurs*’ was undertaken. Due to the heterogeneity of the research found, statistical meta-analysis was not possible, and so a narrative synthesis based on thematic analysis was conducted, which involved three-person research team critically appraising nine articles for inclusion in the review.

Results:

Articles were located from worldwide sources.

Three main themes in the findings were: psychological factors, motor skills, and educational issues. The use of peers can help to increase students’ motor skills, improved the psychological impact of skills and learning, and offered students a chance to be active participants in their education.

Conclusion:

Having explored the literature, we conclude that peer-to-peer teaching and learning could have a place in undergraduate nursing education; however, it is not clear if student nurses’ skills acquisition is more effective if mediated by peer- or lecturer-led teaching. Further research is required in this area to quantify and compare outcomes.
Functional and Radiographic Outcomes for Distal Radius Fractures Treated with Volar-Locked Plates and Percutaneous K-Wires: A Comparative Study
Authors: Egiazaryan Karen A. , Maximov Boris I. , Askerov Artur A. , Vedernikov Nikolay N. , Matvienko Maksim I.
Published: December 2021

Purpose to evaluate and to compare radiological and functional outcomes of the volar locking plate fixation using pronator-sparing approach and K-wire fixation of distal radius fractures. Materials and Methods. We retrospectively analyzed 41 patients with distal radius fractures (27 female and 14 male) treated in the period from 2016 to 2020 using minimally invasive osteosynthesis via pronator-sparing approach. The mean age was 51 years (31-74 years). The control group consists of 37 patients (19 female and 18 male, mean age 61 years (29-76 years)), who underwent minimally invasive percutaneous K-wire fixation of distal radius fractures during the same period of time. Comparative analysis of radiographic and functional outcomes in both groups of minimally invasive osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures was carried out in the period from 1 to 6 months after the surgery. Results. Primary union of distal radius fractures was confirmed in X-rays in all patients within 6 weeks after the surgery. There were no complications in patients treated by pronator-sparing volar locking plate fixation, whereas in K-wire group we had 6 patients with complications: 4 cases (11%) superficial infection around K-wires and 2 cases (5,4%) intraoperative damage of sensitive branch of radial nerve. There were statistically significant differences in radiographic results (volar tilt, radial inclination, and radial height) between two groups: they all were better in patients treated by pronator-sparing volar locking plate fixation during the whole follow-up period (р0,01). Minimally invasive volar locking plate fixation via pronator-sparing approach also provided significantly better grip strength and range of wrist motion and forearm rotation in the early 6-month postoperative period, compared with percutaneous K-wire fixation (р0,001). Conclusion. Our study demonstrates that both techniques of minimally invasive osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures are effective and relatively safe methods of surgical treatment, but volar plating via pronator-sparing approach leads to a better reconstruction of the distal radius and better functional outcomes compared to percutaneous K-wiring.

Authors: Lal Shalini , Gleeson John F , D'Alfonso Simon , Etienne Geraldine , Joober Ridha , Lepage Martin , Lee Hajin , Alvarez-Jimenez Mario
Published: December 2021

Background

Psychotic disorders are among the most disabling of all mental disorders. The first-episode psychosis (FEP) often occurs during adolescence or young adulthood. Young people experiencing FEP often face multiple barriers in accessing a comprehensive range of psychosocial services, which have predominantly been delivered in person. New models of service delivery that are accessible, sustainable, and engaging are needed to support recovery in youth diagnosed with FEP.

Objective

In this paper, we describe a protocol to implement and evaluate the acceptability, safety, and potential efficacy of an online psychosocial therapeutic intervention designed to sustain recovery and prevent relapses in young adults diagnosed with FEP. This intervention was originally developed and tested in Australia and has been adapted for implementation and evaluation in Canada and is called Horyzons-Canada (HoryzonsCa).

Methods

This cohort study is implemented in a single-center and applies a pre-post mixed methods (qualitative-quantitative convergent) design. The study involves recruiting 20 participants from a specialized early intervention program for psychosis located in Montreal, Canada and providing them with access to the HoryzonsCa intervention for 8 weeks. Data collection includes interview-based psychometric measures, self-reports, focus groups, and interviews.

Results

This study received funding from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (United States), the Quebec Health Research Funding Agency (Canada), and the Canada Research Chairs Program. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Board of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de l'Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal on April 11, 2018 (#IUSMD 17-54). Data were collected from August 16, 2018, to April 29, 2019, and a final sample of 20 individuals participated in the baseline and follow-up interviews, among which 9 participated in the focus groups. Data analysis and reporting are in process. The results of the study will be submitted for publication in 2021.

Conclusions

This study will provide preliminary evidence on the acceptability, safety, and potential efficacy of using a digital health innovation adapted for the Canadian context to deliver specialized mental health services to youth diagnosed with FEP.

COVID-19 Information Sources and Health Behaviors During Pregnancy: Results From a Prenatal App-Embedded Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Bohnhoff James , Davis Alexander , Bruine de Bruin Wändi , Krishnamurti Tamar
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Pregnancy is a time of heightened COVID-19 risk. Pregnant individuals’ choice of specific protective health behaviors during pregnancy may be affected by information sources.

OBJECTIVE

This study examined the association between COVID-19 information sources and engagement in protective health behaviors among a pregnant population in a large academic medical system.

METHODS

Pregnant patients completed an app-based questionnaire about their sources of COVID-19 information and engagement in protective health behaviors. The voluntary questionnaire was made available to patients using a pregnancy app as part of their routine prenatal care between April 21 and November 27, 2020.

RESULTS

In total, 637 pregnant responders routinely accessed a median of 5 sources for COVID-19 information. The most cited source (79%) was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Self-reporting evidence-based protective actions was relatively common, although 14% self-reported potentially harmful behaviors to avoid COVID-19 infection. The CDC and other sources were positively associated with engaging in protective behaviors while others (eg, US president Donald Trump) were negatively associated with protective behaviors. Participation in protective behaviors was not associated with refraining from potentially harmful behaviors (P=.93). Moreover, participation in protective behaviors decreased (P=.03) and participation in potentially harmful actions increased (P=.001) over the course of the pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS

Pregnant patients were highly engaged in COVID-19–related information-seeking and health behaviors. Clear, targeted, and regular communication from commonly accessed health organizations about which actions may be harmful, in addition to which actions offer protection, may offer needed support to the pregnant population.
Providers’ Experience of Abortion Care: Protocol for a Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Dempsey B , Callaghan S , Higgins M F
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Despite being one of the most common gynecological procedures in the world, abortion care remains highly stigmatized. Internationally, providers have noted negative impacts related to their involvement in the services, and abortion care has been described as “dirty work.” Though much of the existing research focuses on the challenges of providing, many have also highlighted the positive aspects of working in abortion care. Despite the steadily increasing interest in this area over the past decade, however, no one has sought to systematically review the literature to date.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this review is to systematically explore published studies on the experiences of abortion care providers to create a narrative review on the lived experience of providing abortion care, reflecting on what is already known and what areas require further exploration.

METHODS

This review will be conducted according to the framework outlined by Levac et al, which expanded on the popular Arksey and O’Malley framework. We will systematically search for peer-reviewed articles in 6 electronic databases: CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PsycInfo, PubMed, and Web of Science. Following a pilot exercise, we devised a search strategy to identify relevant studies. In this protocol, we outline how citations will be assessed for eligibility and what information will be extracted from the included articles. We also highlight how this information will be combined in the review.

RESULTS

As of December 2021, at the time of writing, we have searched for articles in the electronic databases and identified 6624 unique citations. We intend to fully assess these citations for eligibility by the end of January 2022, chart and analyze data from the eligible citations by the end of March 2022, and submit a journal article for peer review by late spring 2022.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of this review will provide a comprehensive overview on the known experiences of providing abortion care. We also anticipate that the findings will identify aspects of care and experiences that are not reflected in the available literature. We will disseminate the results via a publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal and by presenting the findings at conferences in the areas of abortion care, obstetrics, and midwifery. As this review is a secondary analysis of published articles, ethical approval was not required.

COMPARISON BETWEEN BROMINE, CALCIUM, CHLORINE, IODINE, POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM, MANGANESE, AND SODIUM CONTENTS IN MACRO- AND MICRO-FOLLICULAR COLLOID GOITER
Authors: ZAICHICK VLADIMIR
Published: December 2021

Objective: Colloid nodular goiter (CNG) is the most common disease of the thyroid, even in non-endemic regions, but the etiology of CNG is unclear. It is known that not merely iodine (I) but other chemical elements (ChE) are involved in goitrogenesis. The current study was performed to clarify the preferential accumulation of some ChE either in the colloid or in cells of the thyroid gland.
Methods: Eight ChE: Bromine, calcium, chlorine (Cl), I, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and sodium (Na) in the thyroid tissues with diagnosed CNG were prospectively evaluated in 16 patients with macrofollicular CNG and 13 patients with microfollicular CNG. The control group included thyroid tissue samples from 105 healthy individuals. Measurements were conducted using non-destructive instrumental neutron activation analysis with high-resolution spectrometry of short-lived radionuclides.
Results: It was found that in macrofollicular CNG, the mass fraction of Cl and Na was 2.57 and 1.82 times, respectively, higher than in tissues of the normal thyroid. In microfollicular CNG, the mass fraction of I was 59% lower, whereas the mass fraction of Na was 67% higher than in tissues of the normal thyroid. The level of I in macrofollicular goiter was 2.08 times higher than in microfollicular goiter
Conclusion: There are substantial changes in ChE contents in the goitrous transformed tissue of the thyroid, which depend on the histology of the goiter.
ANALYZING THE DEGREE OF FREEDOM IN DECISION-MAKING IN THE MCDONALD’S FRANCHISE MODEL: THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE FRANCHISEE
Authors: SEVA-LARROSA PEDRO , MARCO-LAJARA BARTOLOMÉ , MARTÍNEZ-FALCÓ JAVIER , RUIZ-FERNÁNDEZ LORENA
Published: December 2021

Objective: The main objective of this study is to analyze the degree of freedom that the franchisee has in making business decisions compared to the corporate unit or, in other words, the degree of freedom that the franchiser grants the franchised establishment in managing its business.
Methods: Franchising is one of the most widely used strategic alliances worldwide, mainly in two sectors: Retail and hospitality. This research is contextualized in the fast food industry, specifically in the McDonald’s restaurant chain. In order to reache the objective, five in-depth interviews have been carried out with franchisees of the well-known American company located in Spain.
Results: The main findings show highly relevant information about the degree of freedom in the decision-making of McDonald’s franchisees which is scarce and limited since the decisions about the company are made and executed mostly by the franchiser. While the franchisees have a certain autonomy to hire their employees (human resources) and determine the marketing strategies (marketing), the supplies are managed and controlled by the franchiser.
Conclusions: With regards to the results we can conclude that the corporate strategies are formulated and implemented by the franchiser itself due to its strategic nature. The competitive strategies are also the responsibility of the franchiser in the main, as he is in charge of building a certain competitive position. Nevertheless, it is the franchisees, encouraged by the franchisers, who incorporate technologies to their establishments to provide a better service. Finally, the functional strategies are those in which the franchisee has a greater degree of freedom. They focus on how to use and apply the resources and skills within each functional area.

Published: December 2021

Atendendo às expectativas da nova economia mundial, organismos econômicos internacionais (Banco Mundial, FMI, OCDE) passaram a desenvolver mecanismos de indução à transformação no desenvolvimento da educação. Nesse contexto, adquire evidência e centralidade as categorias do gerencialismo e da performatividade, cuja lógica possibilita a substituição da fiscalização das ações pelo controle de resultados. A partir disso, as instituições passaram a responder à pressão por resultados, essenciais ao sucesso num contexto em que os rankings definem a percepção de qualidade das instituições.  A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar como as universidades estão agindo para responder às pressões postas pelas exigências da performatividade. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida na forma de um estudo de caso, envolvendo três universidades localizadas na região sul do país, sendo uma particular, uma pública e uma comunitária, localizadas, respectivamente nas cidades de Curitiba (PR), Chapecó (SC) e Lageado (RS). Para a coleta de dados, além da análise documental, foram desenvolvidas seis entrevistas com gestores universitários, cuja a análise fundamentou-se nos pressupostos da análise de conteúdo. Dessa análise, identificamos como tendências que: os gestores das instituições estudadas incorporaram em suas práticas, em grande medida, os princípios e as práticas que caracterizam os princípios do gerencialismo e a lógica da performatividade, vistos como uma condição de sobrevivência das instituições no atual cenário. A incorporação desses princípios revelou-se mais evidente nas instituições privada e comunitária, as quais convivem com as relações de concorrência. Esse fato é menos evidente na instituição pública.

A model of response efficiency in the hierarchical control system based on the assessment of readiness of fire departments
Authors: Topolsky N. G. , Butuzov S. Yu. , Vilisov V. Ya. , Semikov V. L.
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The readiness of all levels of subsystems that comprise the Unified State System for Emergency Prevention and Liquidation (USSEPL) is one of the most important characteristics that determine its effectiveness. To support decision-making at the upper levels of the management hierarchy, it is important to have a set of models that adequately represent the dependence between key response efficiency indicators and particular indicators of lower levels of the system (fire and rescue departments). In most cases, a regulatory approach to the construction of such models, by virtue of which analysts set their structure and parameters, turns out to be unproductive due to their non-adaptive nature in the context of dynamically changing external conditions and technological capabilities of modern devices. The use of an approach based on solving inverse problems that close the feedback loop and provide for an adaptive adjustment of parameters and the structure of models, ensures the current adequacy of models amid changing conditions.The relevance of the study lies in the development of a technology for constructing polynomial models that allow to assess the USSEPL response effectiveness based on estimated indicators of readiness of subsystems at lower levels obtained using expert evaluation techniques (testing) by means of internal control.Goals and objectives. The aim of the work is to build and test the technology for developing analytical polynomial models that allow to adequately assess performance indicators of the USSEPL response depending on the readiness indicators of lower-level subsystems (fire and rescue departments). In compliance with this goal, the tasks of choosing the type of model and methods of obtaining the necessary initial data are also set.Methods. The study uses methods of analysis of hierarchically organized systems, mathematical statistics, simulation modelling, and methods of expert evaluation. The research is backed by materials from domestic and foreign publications.Results and discussion. The proposed method of constructing an efficiency model of the USSEPL operation, relying on the readiness of subsystems, serves as the basis for constructing models that can take into account other indicators of subsystems.Conclusions. The solution to the problem of constructing a polynomial model, that features dependence between the USSEPL response efficiency and lower-level readiness indicators, serves as the basis for other similar models that will support decision making systems.

Introduction. Fire alarm system controllers are the main technical aids that serve as the backbone of a fire alarm system (a unit) at a facility. They consolidate fire alarm messages, coming from fire detectors, analyze, process, and deliver them to the user and display them in the pre-set format. The technical capacity of fire alarm system controllers is constantly improving in line with the technical progress and tightening fire safety requirements.Aims and purposes. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of and trends in the development of fire alarm system controllers, that improve the fire safety of protected facilities. The task encompasses the retrospective review of principal tactical and technical characteristics of fire alarm devices for the period starting from the early 1950s to the present time in Russia, as well as the statistical analysis of the pace of their supply on the market of automatic fire fighting systems.Methods. Methods of system analysis and mathematical statistics were used.Results and discussion. The main stages of development of instruments for fire alarm systems that are reflective of the technical progress, primarily in the field of radio electronics, as well as the socio-economic transformations in Russia are specified. The article presents the results of statistical studies, carried out by the co-authors at different times and characterizing a change in the Russian market based on the comparative data on domestic and foreign alarm systems. The main trends in the development of the product mix and technical specifications of devices during the analyzed period are identified. The co-authors focus on the generalized layout of a blockmodular apparatus of a fire alarm system controller and determine the requirements for communication between functional modules to ensure the reliable operation of a fire alarm system.Conclusions. The main trends in the development of fire alarm system controllers, designated for fire alarm systems, focus on the application of new communication technologies and microelectronic devices that solve comprehensive safety problems with regard for the top-priority requirements of fire safety. The pace of improvement of tactical technological characteristics of devices is reflective of the state of and trends in the development of automatic fire fighting systems in Russia.
¿Influye el diseño de las preguntas en las respuestas de los entrevistados?
Authors: Díaz de Rada Vidal
Published: December 2021

En este trabajo se analiza hasta qué punto el orden de administración de las opciones de respuesta afecta a la falta de respuesta y a la elección de respuestas “no definidas”. Un segundo objetivo es considerar si la estrategia de “descomponer” una pregunta en varias disminuye el número preguntas sin respuesta, así como de respuestas “no definidas”. Un experimento con encuesta telefónica muestra que presentar las preguntas del cuestionario comenzando por las opciones desfavorables en preguntas descompuestas aumenta las respuestas ‘no sabe’, además de ampliar el tiempo de respuesta. Por el contrario, utilizar preguntas con opciones de respuesta que comienzan por las desfavorables reduce el rechazo a responder la pregunta. Las respuestas indefinidas se reducen cuando se emplea una pregunta que comienza por preguntas favorables.
Physical Implementability of Linear Maps and Its Application in Error Mitigation
Authors: Jiang Jiaqing , Wang Kun , Wang Xin
Published: December 2021

Completely positive and trace-preserving maps characterize physically implementable quantum operations. On the other hand, general linear maps, such as positive but not completely positive maps, which can not be physically implemented, are fundamental ingredients in quantum information, both in theoretical and practical perspectives. This raises the question of how well one can simulate or approximate the action of a general linear map by physically implementable operations. In this work, we introduce a systematic framework to resolve this task using the quasiprobability decomposition technique. We decompose a target linear map into a linear combination of physically implementable operations and introduce the physical implementability measure as the least amount of negative portion that the quasiprobability must pertain, which directly quantifies the cost of simulating a given map using physically implementable quantum operations. We show this measure is efficiently computable by semidefinite programs and prove several properties of this measure, such as faithfulness, additivity, and unitary invariance. We derive lower and upper bounds in terms of the Choi operator's trace norm and obtain analytic expressions for several linear maps of practical interests. Furthermore, we endow this measure with an operational meaning within the quantum error mitigation scenario: it establishes the lower bound of the sampling cost achievable via the quasiprobability decomposition technique. In particular, for parallel quantum noises, we show that global error mitigation has no advantage over local error mitigation.
On the demarcation of mythological messages in the communicative space of contemporary culture: An interdisciplinary approach
Authors: Strelnik O. N.
Published: December 2021

The article considers myth as an element of social communication reproduced in both archaic and modern times. The author seeks criteria for identifying mythological messages in the general corpus of connotative messages. The empirical field of the search is the mass media. The author follows the interdisciplinary research principles and presents a combination of various approaches to the study of myth. In the contemporary culture, myth remains one of the most relevant ways for constructing meaning. In both modern and archaic myths, there is a single type of thinking, the logic of which is not limited to the logic of emotions or scientific normativity. The author distinguishes normal and transformed myths, and argues that the demarcation of the mythological is needed exclusively for transformed myths. In other cases, despite its obvious ubiquity, myth remains a by-product of communications, does not distort their main content and does not parasitize on their form. The article draws an analogy between how mythological thinking functions in the archaic and the methods for forming mythological content in the contemporary mass media. The author comes to the conclusion that the initial functional orientation of the mass media is distorted in mythological messages: in the transformed media (media + myth), the function of informing is replaced by the functions of motivation. The mass media code information/not information is distorted, values are presented as systems of facts, and the image of reality as reality itself. The demarcation of mythological messages can be achieved by identifying the distortion of the content and functions of the original form of culture. Such a transformation is a necessary but insufficient criterion for identifying mythological messages in the communicative space of contemporary culture.
Compulsory vaccination: Public benefit or individual’s right limitation
Authors: Yastrebov O. A.
Published: December 2021

Mass vaccination and its controversial assessments have become key issues under the covid-19 pandemic. Outbreaks of diseases and popularity of anti-vaccination movements require a study of legal foundations for medical interventions and freedom restrictions which are considered as the result of serious risks to health and sanitary-epidemiological well-being of the population. The question is what should be prioritized - paternalistic powers of the state or individual rights and freedoms to decide what risks to take. In terms of responsibility distribution, people often consider vaccines as more dangerous than infectious diseases [17], which makes compulsory vaccination a legal phenomenon of particular importance. In the contemporary legislation, there are various national approaches to the individual autonomy and freedoms. In some countries, vaccination is directly linked to the possibility to study (USA), in others it is associated with public health (Australia), financial sanctions (Poland) or freedoms limitations (Pakistan). In terms of public health ethics, vaccination is similar to the use of seat-belts in cars, and compulsory vaccination policy is ethically justified by the same reasons as mandatory seat-belt laws [8]: at first, they were met with great opposition; later the use of seat belts acquired the significance of not only a legal but also a social norm precisely because it was made mandatory [1]. The similar approach is applicable to vaccination: the policy of compulsory vaccination can make it a social norm. However, in the legal perspective, compulsory vaccination is a compulsory medical intervention which raises the question about whether it is possible to limit individual rights and freedoms in the name of public health safety. The article considers contradictory issues in the state policy of compulsory vaccination and its legal support. The author presents a definition of compulsory vaccination, identifies its types, describes the specifics of its national legal regulation and sanctions for the refusal to be vaccinated, and explains its social necessity and expediency as a public good.
