Annotation. The purpose of the study is to assess the role of the preventive (biological) effects of phytoncidal properties of indoor plants on the health of children who are in closed rooms of preschool educational institutions for a long time, in order to reduce the incidence rate in winter by taking a set of preventive measures.
Material and methods: In the analysis of the assessment of increasing attendance and reducing morbidity in children in preschool in winter under the influence of phytoncidal properties of indoor plants, hygienic (sanitary-descriptive, monitoring, method of comparing actual indicators with hygienic standards, assessment of chances), biological (measurement of the area of the leaf apparatus, width and height of plants, assessment of chemical leaf composition) and statistical (methods of parametric and nonparametric statistics). The object of the study was the effect of indoor plants (safe for children's health, unpretentious in care and possessing phytoncidal properties according to literary sources) on the health of children 5-6 years old (in terms of attendance and morbidity in winter) attending preschool.
The results and their discussion. The study determined a direct dependence on the placement of indoor plants and the omissions of children in the incidence of acute respiratory diseases in the study groups ("observation" and "control"). The experimental data obtained on the use of phytoncidal properties of indoor plants as an additional method of improving the air environment in the premises of preschool educational organizations suggest that indoor plants not only purify the air and contribute to a favorable preventive effect on children's health, but also prevent the development of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI).
Conclusion. The role of houseplants as an additional preventive means of improving the air environment of closed premises is determined. It has been experimentally established that indoor plants have a beneficial effect on air purification and a decrease in the development of microorganisms in children, which helps to increase immunity to colds, including acute respiratory diseases (ARI). The results obtained and the conclusions drawn at the same time indicate the need to use indoor indoor plants in order to prevent the beneficial effects of the released phytoncides on the health of children.

Academic performance in university students with increased visceral fat
Authors: Rodríguez Flores Elvira
Published: September 2024

In this research, the relationship between the increase in visceral fat and academic performance in university students will be considered. According to the cognitive paradigm, for learning to be achieved, the functions of the intellect are essential, as well as personal traits such as self-concept, motivation, self-control and locus control. On the other hand, the increase in visceral fat triggers an inflammatory cascade that accesses the central nervous system, progressively damaging the structure of the neuron, with a high risk of affecting its natural processes. The objective of the study was to demonstrate the relationship between increased visceral fat and poor academic performance in medical students. The methodology used in this research was quantitative, a sample of 302 students who were studying the subject of Physiology and Fundamentals of Neurosciences of the Faculty of Medicine at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara was recruited, a bioelectrical impedance was performed on them and their grades were collected. finals. This is a cross-sectional study with a descriptive multiple regression analysis technique. Of the sample, 145 students were of normal weight with a regular level of grades, 93 students with excess visceral fat were detected with almost homogeneous grades, the relationship between visceral fat and low academic performance was not determined. Conclusion, in this research, normal
weight students with regular grades predominate. A low number of students with excess visceral fat were found, but their academic performance is homogeneous at the three grade levels, so the relationship between increased fat was not demonstrated. visceral with low academic performance. It would be necessary to analyze the serum level of cytokines to confirm the inflammatory state, and to carry out an analysis on the learning and metacognitive strategies that interfere with academic performance at the time of the intervention, later in five years and then in ten years.

Background: Systemic candidiasis can be seen in critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Candida albicans is the main causative agent of it. Aim: An in vitro pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamics (PD) model has been developed in order to assess voriconazole against Candida albicans iso¬lates. Methodology: This model examined the effect of standard dosing regimens of voriconazole (3.0 and 4.0 mg/kg with peak plasma concentrations of 1.5 and 3 mg/L, respectively) on two C. albicans isolates (the sensitive ATCC-90028 and the resistant ATCC-10231). A two-compartment model was used, with a 500-mL beaker filled with RPMI-1640 solution as the external compartment (EC) containing the drug. A peristaltic pump was connected to the beaker so as to circulate the solution into the EC and remove it at the same rate as the drug clearance. Additionally, a dialysis tube was placed in the EC in order to act as an internal compartment (IC), allowing molecules smaller than 20 kD to diffuse freely. The dialysis tubes (IC) were inoculated with C. albicans isolates and incubated, with samples regularly taken for PK and PD studies. PK studies involved sampling from both compartments for drug concentration analysis by using a bioassay, while PD studies monitored fungal growth by assessing the relative optical density. Results: The two simulated doses of 3.0 and 4.0 mg/kg of voriconazole effectively inhibited the growth of the two C. albicans isolates in a dose-dependent manner. The exposure-effect analysis showed over 99% efficacy with 4.0 mg/kg of the drug. Conclusion: Overall, the in vitro PK/PD system accurately demonstrated a significant growth inhibition with both stand¬ard doses (3.0 and 4.0 mg/kg) of voriconazole, in a dose-dependent manner.

Background: Hand grip strength (HGS) is a key indicator of upper limb strength and daily functioning. Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to assess physical health, but its relationship with muscle strength is not well defined.Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between BMI and HGS in the dominant and non-dominant hands among undergraduate medical students in Lahore.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 129 participants from Akhtar Saeed Medical College. HGS was measured using a hand-held dynamometer, and BMI was calculated from measured height and weight. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23, and the Chi-square test was used to assess associations between BMI categories and HGS.Results: The majority of participants were right-hand dominant (96.9%). The association between BMI and HGS was found to be insignificant for both the dominant (p = 0.10) and non-dominant hands (p = 0.995).Conclusion: The study concluded that BMI does not have a significant impact on HGS in either hand, suggesting that BMI may not be a reliable predictor of muscle strength in this population.

En guise de contrepoint, ce chapitre analyse les fins de mandats présidentiels aux États-Unis de Richard Nixon en 1974 à Donald Trump en 2020-2021. La chronologie est abordée en fonction du caractère traditionnel ou non de ces dates, d’un scandale célèbre tel que le Watergate à une période de contestation sans précédent de la part du président battu en 2020 et de nombre de ses partisans. Il est donc question du système politique américain, ainsi que des influences et des héritages attachés aux présidents successifs.
Le droit individuel à la formation des élus : un outil pour faciliter la sortie du mandat local ?
Authors: Camus Pierre
Published: September 2024

Tout au long de son histoire, la formation des élus a assumé différentes fonctions (contrôle, légitimation, démocratisation, mise en réseau, facilitation de l’exercice du mandat, etc.) dans le but implicite de renforcer le maintien de celles et ceux qui y recouraient. L’idée de préparer, par la formation, les élus « à sortir » du mandat est beaucoup plus récente. L’objet de cet article est de revenir sur la création d’un droit individuel à la formation des élus permettant des reconversions professionnelles pour regarder plus précisément les pratiques des élus locaux sur ces dernières années.
Guy Mollet : les étapes d’une sortie progressive du jeu politique (1958-1975)
Authors: Dupin Arnaud
Published: September 2024

La sortie politique de Guy Mollet se fait en plusieurs étapes. Homme-clé de la Quatrième République, il participe aux côtés du général de Gaulle à la mise en place de la Cinquième République en étant membre du gouvernement entre juin 1958 et janvier 1959. En désaccord avec les orientations du nouveau régime, il démissionne début 1959 et n’occupe plus de fonctions exécutives à l’échelle nationale. Inamovible secrétaire général de la SFIO entre 1946 et 1969, il se voit supplanter dans la gauche socialiste par François Mitterrand dans les années 1960. Guy Mollet reste dans le PS après le congrès d’Épinay mais constitue une figure-repoussoir pour la nouvelle direction. Enfin, il prépare sa sortie au plan local (député du Pas-de-Calais, mairie d’Arras) mais ne souhaite qu’aucun de ses successeurs ne puisse cumuler tous les mandats qu’il a occupé. Sa mort subite en octobre 1975 ne remet en rien ce partage.

Authors: Boulat Régis
Published: September 2024

Au lendemain de sa défaite à l’élection présidentielle de 2002, Jean-Pierre Chevènement choisit de penser autrement son rapport à la politique. Il est d’abord à l’origine de la Fondation Res Publica, reconnue d’utilité publique en 2005, Think Tank politique qu’il préside jusqu’en 2021 tout en maintenant une intense activité d’écriture ; ensuite, il reste élu du Territoire de Belfort puisqu’il reste maire de Belfort jusqu’en 2007 et président de la Communauté d’agglomération belfortaine avant de devenir Sénateur ( 2008-2014) ; enfin, on lui confie plusieurs missions tant à la tête de la Fondation de l’Islam de France qu’en Russie auprès de Vladimir Poutine. Ces trois aspects permettent de mettre en évidence la cohérence d’une pensée politique républicaine qui articule une politique intérieure de justice sociale et de modernisation sous la houlette de l’État à une politique internationale d’indépendance, de construction européenne refondée et d’une France capable de parler au monde.

Realizing the rise in cases of intolerance in the academic world, various approaches to handling intolerant-violent and radical acts in the name of Islam are always being pursued. One of these approaches is a deradicalization program through religious moderation education in Islamic Religious Education. One of the deradicalization programs through religious moderation education in Islamic Religious Education is implemented by the University of Indonesia (UI).

Legal Study Concerning Zero Verdicts Related to the Principles of Certainty, Justice and Benefits in Indonesia
Authors: Fauzia Awaludin  , Rehnalemken Ginting
Published: September 2024

A nil sentence is very appropriate to apply to defendants whose verdict is sentenced to death, such as in the case of Muhammad Natsir and Heru Hidayat. However, the Dimas Kanjeng case certainly raises a different problem, where the panel of judges imposed a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, so if there are other cases the verdict must be nil. This means that the defendant, who was previously sentenced to 20 years in prison, was not increased to life imprisonment. Another problem is the lack of integrated administration between courts which results in overlapping criminal sanctions that exceed 20 years. Tstelsel's absorption in a sharpened realist concursus states that it is necessary to review the level between crimes that have permanent legal force and crimes that have just been revealed based on higher criminal threats, so that the implementation of a nil sentence achieves the principles of legal certainty, justice and expediency. The implementation of the nil sentence must be socialized to the wider community, especially in the case of Dimas Kanjeng and Muhammad Natsir, who in their decision were sentenced to a nil sentence because they had previously been sentenced to death. The aim of the outreach is to ensure that there is no misunderstanding of the defendant's release from criminal sanctions, because a zero verdict arises because the verdict has been maximum and can no longer be handed down. Judges need to interpret in more depth the basic reasons for giving a nil verdict which is linked to SEMA No. 1 of 2022 to better ensure justice and benefits for society, which of course is adjusted to the legal facts obtained during the trial period.

Published: September 2024

This study looked at the relationship between Nigeria's ongoing insecurity and poor governance. The article makes the theoretical case that the injustice, corruption, and self-serving leadership of Nigeria's leadership class are to blame for the country's current security problems. Ethnic, communal, religious, and resource-related conflicts have persisted throughout most of Nigeria since the country's restoration to democracy in 1999, following nearly three decades of military administration. This is made worse by the leadership's apparent inability to solve important national concerns like reducing poverty, creating jobs, allocating resources, developing infrastructure, etc. Accordingly, the study concludes that Although it is a huge task, combating insecurity in Nigeria is not insurmountable. Nigerians must therefore come together, and the ruling class must become fully committed to combating insecurity and forging a strong political will.
