Introduction. The educational activities in children and adolescents are associated with significant potential health risks, especially during the preparation period for the unified state exam. In this regard, there is a need to optimize the management of educational activities to reduce the physiological cost of the educational process.
The purpose of the study is a physiological and hygienic assessment of the management of specialized training of high school students and its impact on the functional state of their body.
Materials and methods. The object of the study was two hundred fifty eight students of the 11th grade of the medical pre-university. A study was conducted on the specifics of the management of pre-university education, as well as a hygienic assessment of the curriculum. To assess the impact of the educational process on the functional state of the body in high school students, an assessment of the method of proof-reading tests was carried out by mental performance. Also there was performed a study of the psycho-emotional state of the body using the Izard method and the functional state of the body using the method for studying well-being, activity, and mood. The obtained results were processed using descriptive statistics methods.
Results. The similarity of the management of classes with the university form of education is noted. The evaluation of the schedule showed a decrease in the level of academic load over the course of the academic year, as well as the irrationality of scheduling from the point of view of age physiology. During the academic year, positive trend in indicators of mental performance and functional state of the body in students was noted. A high prevalence of pronounced and severe degrees of anxiety-depressive (33.9%) and adverse (29.0%) emotions among high school students was revealed. The relationship between the severity of adverse and anxiety-depressive emotions and the subjective assessment of the state of the body by students is noted.
Limitations. The study was conducted in one educational institution, which is a pre-university medical university, which had an impact on the representativeness of the sample.
Conclusion. The conducted research shows the system of management of pre-university education allows students successful and effective engaging in educational activities, which is reflected in the positive trend in indicators characterizing the functional state of the body in high school students. Measures to prevent the prevalence of adverse and anxiety-depressive emotions among students are proposed.

Published: November 2024

Distance learning (Dl) is widespread in educational institutions. The COVID-19 epidemic has led to the transfer of only Dl to students in most countries of the world. However, the use of Dl is associated with a number of health risk factors.
The purpose of the review is to study the impact of Dl on the health in schoolchildren.
A literature search was conducted using PubMed and eLIBRARY.RU search engines. The initial search allowed identifying 21,745 reports, after an independent assessment by two experts, there are still 36 full-text publications containing original data on the impact on the health of schoolchildren.
The analysis of the topics of publications allowed establishing all publications to be devoted to the study of the impact of Dl on the health of students during the COVID-19 epidemic, which does not allow differentiating the impact of Dl on health from the influence of self-isolation and fear of covid disease. Most studies do not compare the detected changes in health status during traditional training. The main complaints of students during Dl were complaints of painful sensations in the eyes, decreased vision, headache, back and neck pain, sleep disorders, largely associated with hygienically irrational learning conditions. The revealed changes in mental status (anxiety, depressive manifestations) are largely determined not by the presence of Dl, but by the influence of self-isolation and fear of covid disease. The transition to Dl also led to an increase in body weight in a number of students, a decrease in physical fitness. More pronounced changes in the state of health were noted in schoolchildren of junior classes.
Conclusion. The identified adverse changes in the state of health in students can be minimized by the use of Dl in combination with traditional learning and compliance with hygienic requirements for its management.
Certification as an effective element of the information and analytical system of social and hygienic monitoring (literature review, part 1)
Authors: Egorova Natalija A. , Kochetkova Marina G. , Savostikova Olga N.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Social and hygienic monitoring (SHM) at the current stage of the problem development is impossible without the use of material-intensive databases, where long-term information on environmental indicators, population health, and the relationships between them accumulates. A comprehensive analysis of this multi-component information makes it possible to obtain the most complete and adequate answer on choosing the most effective way to reduce the negative impact of various environmental factors on human health and life. However, the vastness of information in the databases, a large number of applications to them, complicates and slows down the process of making management decisions, reducing their effectiveness. It is possible to avoid excessive time and effort when working with SHM data by minimizing their text parts with subsequent inclusion in the passports of territories and institutions – specialized documents with a standardized, easy-to-read structure, which increases the efficiency of using SHM results.
The research material was scientific publications on the problem of certification as an element of the SHM information and analytical system. Literature search methods: according to the CyberLeninka database, selective, analytical-synthetic, typological.
There was analyzed experience of passportization in the Sverdlovsk, Orenburg, Arkhangelsk, Bryansk regions, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Primorsky Territory, Moscow and St. Petersburg with the preparation of social-hygienic, radiation-hygienic, sanitary-hygienic passports of territories and institution.
Limitations of the research are related to the uniqueness of passports as elements of SHM and the lack of possibility of comparing them with similar forms of reporting abroad.
Conclusion. Currently, the certification of territories and economic facilities is a proven effective information and analytical tool of the SGM, which allows, with minimal time and effort, to purposefully collect and compare data to resolve issues of environmental improvement measures and reduce morbidity among the population in the shortest possible time. Passports, specialized digital documents with a standardized structure that is easy to quickly perceive, provide clarity and visibility of the level of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population.

Authors: Dolgikh Oleg V. , Zaitseva Nina V. , Nikonoshina Natalya A.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Examining peculiarities of neuroimmune profiles and candidate gene polymorphism is a relevant trend in identifying markers of effects and sensitivity to chemical exposures in northern areas.
Materials and methods. We examined one thousand two hundred fifty three children residing in North-Eastern and South-Eastern Siberia. Blood benzo(a)pyrene levels were detected by HPLC. The ANKK1/DRD2 (rs18004976) gene polymorphism was studied using real-time PCR. IgG to benzo(a)pyrene levels were identified by allergosorbent testing. Dopamine levels were identified by using ELISA.
Results. Exposure to airborne benz(a)pyrene in an industrial center in North-Eastern Siberia at the dose of 0.0073 µg/(kg ∙ day) causes an elevated risk of specific hapten hypersensitivity (IgG to benzo(a)pyrene), inhibition of dopaminergic regulation (dopamine deficiency), and elevated benzo(a)pyrene contamination in biological media. The identified changes are similar to those established in children exposed to this polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon at the dose
of 0.0858 µg/(kg ∙ day) in South-Eastern Siberia.
Limitations. The sample needs expanding and any results obtained by further observations should be verified.
Conclusion. Children exposed to low doses of benzo(a)pyrene (0.0073 µg/(kg ∙ day)) in North-Eastern Siberia have elevated risks of disorders in the neuroimmune profile associated with the T-allele and TT genotype (rs1800497) of the ANKK1/DRD2 gene (OR =2.17 – 2.83, p<0.05) (hyperproduction of IgG to benzo(a)pyrene, dopamine deficiency), which are comparable with similar changes in the neuroimmune profile associated with C-allele and CC-genotype of the ANKK1/DRD2 gene (rs1800497) (OR=1.69 – 1.72, p<0.05) under exposure to benzo(a)pyrene at the dose of 0.0858 µg /(kg ∙ day) in South-Eastern Siberia. This indicates to the higher sensitivity of the body to chemical exposures in specific climatic conditions in northern areas.

Published: November 2024

Introduction. Accounting for micronuclei (MN) in the epithelium of the buccal mucosa is widely used to identify human exposure to genotoxic factors. Cytome analysis makes the test more sensitive to detect exposure, but it remains difficult to attribute changes in individual indices to toxicity or genotoxicity. We hypothesized that analysis of the frequencies of different forms of nuclear abnormalities in cells of different degrees of maturity could promote our understanding of the biological meaning of shifts in these indicators.
Materials and methods. A cytome analysis was carried out taking into account the degree of maturity of epithelial cells in scrapings of the cheek mucosa
in 6–7 years children, and, for comparison, in the urothelium of mice and rats in the control and after the administration of a cystitis inducer and the standard mutagen cyclophosphamide (CP).
Results. In scrapings of the buccal mucosa from children, the frequency of cells with condensed chromatin in the nucleus, karyorrhexis and karyopyknosis increased significantly in intermediate cells, and the frequency of binuclear cells (BN), cells with nuclear buds (NB) and karyolysis increased only upon reaching a terminally differentiated state. Analysis of suspension preparations of the bladder epithelium in laboratory animals confirmed the predominant accumulation of BN in the superficial layers. In a model of cystitis in rats caused by a single administration of CP at a dose of 30 mg/kg, a decrease in the frequency of BN was observed at the end of the proliferative phase of post-traumatic epithelial regeneration (14 days after CP administration). After feeding mice with CP at a dose of 1.3 mg/kg/day for 14 days, an increase in the frequency of BN was noted among the most mature cells.
Limitation of the study is the lack of assessment of the DNA content in the nuclei of epithelial cells, which did not allow evaluating forms of polyploidy other than abortive cytokinesis (endocycling and endomitosis).
Conclusion. There was received confirmation of the relevance of interpretation the increase in the frequency of BNs in buccal epithelial cells in a group of exposed people as a manifestation of genotoxic effects; a decrease in the frequency of BNs in some cases may be associated with post-traumatic regeneration of the epithelium.

Authors: Tyutrina Vera A. , Sosedova Larisa M. , Novikov Mikhail A.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Successful implementation of iron-containing nanoparticles into practice requires obtaining knowledge about their effect on human health. One of the most important stages in developing an understanding of the safety of iron-containing nanoparticles in nanocomposites is the study of their genotoxic properties both after exposure and over the long-term period.
The aim of the study is to assess DNA damage in nucleated blood cells in white rats during subacute administration of the Fe nanocomposite arabinogalactan in two different doses one day after exposure, and in 2 and 4 months.
Materials and methods. Male white rats were orally administered an aqueous solution of Fe arabinogalactan nanocomposite at doses of 500 μg/kg and 5000 μg/kg for 10 days. Blood samples were taken from the tail vein. The genotoxic effect of Fe arabinogalactan nanocomposite on leukocytes was assessed by the percentage of DNA in the «DNA comet tail» at 3 times using the alkaline version of the DNA comet assay: on the next day after the end of exposure, and in 2 and 4 months to determine whether the effect was preserved or absent.
Results. In the present study, no statistically significant increase in DNA damage was detected at any stage of the experiment when using the studied nanocomposite at a dose of 500 μg/kg. At the same time, Fe arabinogalactan nanocomposite was found to have a negative effect on the DNA structure at a dose of 5000 μg/kg one day after exposure.
Limitations. The experiment is limited to studying the genotoxic effect of the Fe arabinogalactan nanocomposite at doses of 500 and 5000 μg/kg on male white rats the next day after ten-day exposure and in the late period after 2 and 4 months.
Conclusions. Statistically significant damage to the DNA of blood cells has been established to be caused by the use of only nFe-AG immediately after exposure and at the highest concentration of 5000 μg/kg; over time, the resulting DNA damage is leveled out by repair systems. Consequently, the potential genotoxic effect when using the studied nanocomposite for blood cells is very weak.

The article is devoted to the history of hygienic regulation of harmful chemicals in water at the A.N. Sysin Research Institute, spanning several decades. The article details the stages of the development of the methodology for hygienic regulation of chemicals in water, starting from the first regulatory documents developed under the guidance of A.N. Sysin in the 1940s to an improved methodology that includes accelerated and in-depth toxicological experiments. The developed step-by-step regulation scheme for chemicals in water combines the experimental method of substantiating maximum allowable concentrations (MACs) based on organoleptic and general sanitary indicators of harmfulness with techniques that allow reducing the duration of toxicological studies where it is possible without loss of quality of the results.
There are considered modern approaches to predicting the toxicity of substances and their biotransformation, including the use of data mining methods and quantum chemistry.
Special attention is given to studying the issues of ensuring safe water use conditions for the population, the application of new chemical compounds in various industries, as well as the effectiveness and safety of reagents and technologies used in water purification and water treatment processes, including improving criteria and methods for studying the combined effects of substances. The results of studies on the transformation processes of substances under the action of various
disinfecting agents are presented.
Many years of research by the Institute’s staff are reflected in the Methodological Guidelines for substantiating hygienic standards for chemicals in the water of household and drinking water bodies and recreational water use, Methodological Guidelines for assessing the safety of materials, reagents, and equipment used for water purification and treatment, and the development of hygienic standards for the content of chemicals in water. On this basis, modern main documents on the regulation of chemicals in the environment have been created.

Authors: А.О. Аполонский , К.В. Трушко
Published: November 2024

В статье рассмотрены такие экономические категории, как качество и конкурентоспособность продукции. Получение необходимого качества продукции связано с затратами на маркетинг, сферу исследований и разработок, затратами на производство, а также на обслуживание и вспомогательные услуги. Сфера понятия качества с точки зрения производителя также связана с конкурентоспособностью предприятия и его продукции на рынке. С точки зрения потребителя качество имеет более субъективный характер, связанный главным образом с его принятием потребителями, потребности которых формируются множеством различных факторов. На практике уровень качества продукции определяется, помимо возможности удовлетворения ожиданий клиента с точки зрения технических характеристик, также ценой, которую необходимо заплатить за определенный уровень удовлетворения ожиданий.

The article considers such economic categories as product quality and competitiveness. Obtaining the necessary product quality is associated with marketing costs, research and development, production costs, as well as maintenance and support services. The scope of the concept of quality from the manufacturer’s point of view is also related to the competitiveness of the enterprise and its products in the market. From the consumer’s point of view, quality has a more subjective character, mainly related to its acceptance by consumers, whose needs are shaped by many different factors. In practice, the level of product quality is determined, in addition to the ability to meet customer expectations in terms of technical characteristics, also by the price that must be paid for a certain level of satisfaction of expectations.

This study aims to analyze the effect of payment systems and innovation on the operational performance and competitiveness of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Makassar City. The study found that an efficient payment system impacted competitiveness, although not directly through increased operational performance. This underscores the importance of a well-functioning payment system in SMEs' competitiveness. Data were collected from 156 SMEs in Makassar through questionnaires and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results showed that payment systems did not have a significant effect on operational performance but had a significant impact on competitiveness. Conversely, innovation significantly affected operational performance but did not directly increase competitiveness. In addition, operational performance was shown to be an essential mediator in the relationship between innovation and competitiveness but not in the relationship between payment systems and competitiveness. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of innovation in improving the operational performance of SMEs, which ultimately contributes to increased competitiveness. The implications of this study provide recommendations for SMEs in Makassar to prioritize innovation in operations while improving payment systems to achieve better competitiveness in a competitive market.

The study intended to explore the readiness of the implementation of Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Advanced Subsidiary in secondary schools in Ohangwena region. A qualitative research methodology was used, carried out through a case study design. Purposive sampling was used to select participants for the study. Questionnaires and interview were used as data collection methods. The collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. Key findings revealed that participants were unaware of the criteria’s used to select the schools that shall offer Advanced Subsidiary Curricullum. Schools that offer Advanced Subsidiary seemed to have been selected based on assumptions such as human capital, availability of resources and infrastructures, teachers experience and former Namibia Senior Secondary School Certificate Higher level classification.

Teachers experienced difficulties in implementing and managing the Advanced Subsidiary curriculum due to numerous factors such as late release of grade 11 Namibia Senior Secondary School Certificate Ordinary level results, lack of teaching and learning resources, dilapidated facilities, shortage of teachers who are experienced in teaching higher level subjects, complex and lengthy Advanced Subsidiary content that cannot be covered within the time frame allocated for instruction and assessment.

The study concluded that curriculum planning and rolling out of the AS-Level curriculum was not done after proper consultations. If consultations were done, schools could have been provided with enough resources before introducing the curriculum. This would have ensured that schools were prepared to roll-out the implementation of the AS-Level curriculum with minimum to no hurdles at all.

The theoretical framework combines the principles of peace education and community development approaches, and the analysis of the socio-cultural context and the specific challenges faced by the region in terms of violence, inequality, and lack of social cohesion is based on this framework. Subsequently, the article delineates the pedagogical techniques employed, including participatory workshops in diverse sectors, awareness campaigns, peace circles, and initiatives undertaken by academic and governmental institutions. The methodology used was exploratory to study the phenomenon of peace and descriptive to detail the characteristics of the processes of the initiatives implemented. A qualitative approach was employed to gain a nuanced understanding of the phenomenon under study, contextualized within its social and cultural milieu. Data were collected through focus groups and participant observation. The findings indicate that these strategies facilitate conflict resolution, encourage intercultural dialogue, and reinforce the sense of belonging to the community. The article concludes by underscoring the value of multisectoral collaboration and the necessity for public policies that foster the sustainability of peace education initiatives in Zacatecas.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study explores the critical role of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes in managing data within highly regulated industries such as healthcare and finance. It highlights the challenges posed by stringent legal frameworks like HIPAA in the health sector and GDPR in finance while emphasizing the importance of ETL in ensuring compliance and improving data utility.
Methodology: The research examines the application of ETL processes in consolidating and transforming data for organizational use, with specific examples from healthcare (e.g., Electronic Health Records) and financial sectors (e.g., Basel III reporting). It also reviews current best practices for addressing data-related challenges, including governance, encryption, validation, and containerization.
Findings: Key challenges in ETL processes include data privacy, regulatory compliance, data quality issues, and technical limitations. However, implementing best practices such as robust data governance, advanced encryption methods, intelligent validation mechanisms, and containerized workflows significantly mitigates these risks. These practices ensure secure data handling and enhance organizational compliance with regulatory standards.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of ETL processes as a linchpin for data management in regulated environments. It offers policy insights into how organizations can meet compliance requirements effectively. Practically, it provides actionable recommendations for organizations to adopt ETL best practices, ensuring secure, efficient, and legally compliant data operations. These advancements strengthen client trust, reduce legal risks, and empower organizations to leverage data for strategic advantage.

The issue of women's empowerment is at the origin of several social debates. Many of them opt for independence in their daily activities and emerge in order to intervene in the socializing aspects of the development of their community. This research aims to analyze the sociocultural factors of women's empowerment in rural areas from Badessankro to Prikro. A questionnaire survey and interviews were conducted with 46 women. Early pregnancies or marriages were revealed as sociocultural factors limiting entrepreneurship and empowerment among 87% of the women surveyed.
PITANJE TOTALITARNE NARAVI AUTENTIČNE INTERPRETACIJE ZAKONA KAO RELIKTA PROŠLOSTI
Authors: Struić Gordan
Published: November 2024

Polazeći od kritika instituta autentična tumačenja zakona, koje počivaju na shvaćanju o ideološkoj i nedemokratskoj pozadini toga instituta, u ovom se radu razmatra pitanje može li se o interpretaciji zakona u parlamentima u državama bivše SFRJ koje su do danas zadržale taj institut govoriti kao o reliktu prošlosti koji je, kako pojedini autori navode, „vjeran totalitarnoj praksi“. U tom cilju, nakon prvoga, uvodnoga dijela rada, u drugom dijelu pobliže se razmatra utjecaj Ustava SSSR-a iz 1936. i sovjetske doktrine o državi i pravu na uvođenje interpretativne ovlasti Prezidija Narodne skupštine FNRJ 1946. u Ustav FNRJ iz 1946., što je činilo jednu od ishodišnih točaka u oblikovanju instituta autentična tumačenja zakona kakav postoji danas. U trećem dijelu rada ukratko se izlaže kako je u FNRJ, a zatim i u SFRJ, bila uređena ovlast za davanje autentična tumačenja zakona, kakva je bila zbiljska uloga toga instituta, ali i učestalost njegova korištenja na saveznoj razini, pri čemu se kao primjer uzima formativno razdoblje izgradnje institucija državne vlasti i prava FNRJ, tj. od 1946. do 1953. U četvrtom dijelu rada istražuje se zbiljska uloga koju autentično tumačenje zakona ima danas u državama bivše SFRJ koje su ga nastavile koristiti i nakon stjecanja njihove samostalnosti te se u tom cilju razmatraju stajališta njihovih ustavnih sudova, kao i proceduralni mehanizmi parlamentarnih poslovnika te učestalost njihova korištenja interpretativne ovlasti u razdoblju od stjecanja njihove samostalnosti do danas. U petom dijelu rada pristupa se zaključnim razmatranjima i davanju odgovora na istraživačko pitanje.

SUVREMENI HOMO POLITICUS U IZRADI PROPISA
Authors: Struić Gordan
Published: November 2024

Polazeći od shvaćanja pojedinih autora o temeljnoj krizi u kojoj se nalazi suvremeni homo politicus i tvrdnje da građani postaju sve više pasivni primatelji političkih sadržaja, a sve manje aktivni sudionici političkog procesa, u ovom se radu nastoji istražiti utemeljenost takva shvaćanja putem analize izvješća o provedenu savjetovanju, koja su objavljena na središnjem državnom internetskom portalu za savjetovanje s javnošću (e-Savjetovanja), kao jednom od načina participacije javnosti u postupku izrade zakona, drugih propisa i akata u Republici Hrvatskoj, od pokretanja toga portala 2015. do danas. Pod pretpostavkom da materija pravosudnoga sustava, o čijem se funkcioniranju bilježi negativno opće mišljenje javnosti, djeluje poticajno na javnost da prilikom savjetovanja izloži svoje komentare (prijedloge i mišljenja), predmet istraživanja čine izvješća o provedenu savjetovanju iz područja pravosuđa. U radu se polazi od teze da se broj komentara i njihovih podnositelja koji sudjeluju u savjetovanju s javnošću u postupku izrade zakona, drugih propisa i akata kontinuirano povećava te da nije riječ o smanjujućem interesu javnosti za participacijom u tom postupku. Nakon prvoga, uvodnoga dijela rada, u drugom su dijelu ukratko izložena teorijska polazišta sudjelovanja javnosti u postupku donošenja političkih odluka. U trećem dijelu rada prikazan je važeći normativni okvir savjetovanja s javnošću u postupku izrade zakona, drugih propisa i akata u Republici Hrvatskoj. Nakon što se u četvrtom dijelu analiziraju dostupna izvješća o provedenim savjetovanjima o nacrtima zakona, drugih propisa i akata iz područja pravosuđa, u petom dijelu rada pristupa se zaključnim razmatranjima.
