Psychological Support of the Integration Process of Ukrainian Students: European Experience
Authors:   SIHE “Donbas State Pedagogical University”, Berezka Sofiia
Published: December 2022

The war in Ukraine has caused an active migration of Ukrainians to Europe-an countries. Despite being in a safe place, people who have obtained temporary protection still remain under acute stress. The complex psycho-emotional state of refugees is caused by psychological traumas from the war experience and is complicated by the loss of their status in a new country, forced exit from their comfort zone, awareness of their own helplessness, insecurity and alienation. Unlike adults, children and adolescents who have suddenly become displaced, worry about separation from loved ones, loss of contact with peers, separation from the group in a new socio-cultural environment more acutely. Among the refugee children, a large part of those people who had hopes for the future of en-tering the chosen specialty and university, had to retreat from their dreams and quickly make decisions (not always of their own free will) about how and where to enter or continue their studies in a new country. Understanding the comple-xity of the psycho-emotional state of applicants and students from Ukraine, the Career Center of Masaryk University has developed a number of services aimed at psychological support of the process of Ukrainian applicants’ integration into the European space.the purpose of the research is to highlight the features of providing psy-chological support services, as well as the intermediate result of the study of the effectiveness of the implemented program on the development of adaptability of applicants and students from Ukraine who wanted to study at Masaryk Uni-versity.methods of the research. To analyze the effectiveness of the developed ser-vices and to determine the needs of applicants, an online and offline survey with a semi-closed questionnaire was used. In order to analyze the level of adaptabi-lity of the applicants, the scales on the “Questionnaire of personality adaptation to a new sociocultural environment” method were used.the results of the research. The obtained results are intermediate in deter-mining the effectiveness of the developed services. At the same time, the results of the initial and re-diagnosis of the participants of training aimed at the devel-opment of adaptability, as a leading factor of successful integration, made it possible to record the improvement of psycho-emotional state of applicants and students from Ukraine.conclusions. The obtained intermediate results of the quality assessment of the developed services testify to their expediency and effectiveness, which is achieved due to the complexity, variety of forms and types of services, as well as the combination of theoretical and practical bases on the way to the formation of adaptability and optimization of the process of integration of applicants and students from Ukraine.
The language of law as a unique direction of human communication (theoretical legal and philosophical reflections)
Authors: Lazariev V. V.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the language of law as a special direction of human communication. It has been noted that in the modern world, the connection between law and language appears at a sufficiently deep level and is a sufficiently complex and fundamental expression of their interaction. The research draws attention to the similarities and differences inherent in linguistics and jurisprudence.

Attention has been focused on the fact that legal language is usually perceived somewhat specifically by ordinary citizens and society as a whole, as it looks specialized, elevated and technical, especially its written form. This is, in particular, due to the fact that constructions containing legal terminology, specialized legal terms, legal vocabulary are used to write a legal text, which leads to the fact that the language of law becomes incomprehensible to non-lawyers. Attention has been drawn to the peculiarities of the use of legal linguistics in the Anglo-Saxon law systems and in German-speaking countries.

The approaches of researchers advocating for the simplification of the language of law have been considered, since, in their opinion, the language of law as a certain means of communication is characterized by “grandiloquence and verbosity”, which makes it difficult for the average citizen to understand it and does not allow them to fully familiarize themselves with normative documents and court decisions.

The study also has raised the issue of gender equality when using the language of law in the modern world. Attention has been drawn to the fact that in foreign political and legal opinion, the statement is gaining more and more strength that if the goal of the law is really unlimited access of citizens to their constitutional rights to information and non-degradation of any gender, then the simplification of legal communication and gender-neutral writing should be its main goal.
La geopolítica de la integración de Mongolia Interior a la República Popular China, 1949-1966
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco (UAM-Xochimilco), Tzili-Apango Eduardo
Published: December 2022

En este artículo se estudia el proceso de integración de la región denominada como “Mongolia Interior” a la República Popular China. El argumento principal es que la identificación de Mongolia Interior como una zona geoestratégica importante por parte del Gobierno chino se basa en la noción de “separatismo”, para lo cual el concepto teórico de “zona-tapón” se propone y desarrolla desde la geopolítica. La metodología se basa en la compilación y análisis de los “registros de asuntos importantes” (??? dashiji) como fuentes primarias de las principales políticas de integración de la Mongolia Interior de 1949 a 1966. El principal resultado de investigación fue el descubrimiento de políticas ambivalentes que, por un lado, promueven la autonomía étnica y, por otro, fortalecen el control directo de la región, lo que confirmaría las preocupaciones geopolíticas del Gobierno chino.
Políticas gubernamentales de China en Xinjiang y dimensión internacional del conflicto
Authors:   Universidad de las Américas Puebla, Gachúz Maya Juan Carlos , Goytia Morúa María José ,   Universidad de las Américas Puebla
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal analizar el conflicto en Xinjiang, China. Se emplea el método empírico-analítico para identificar actores centrales y explicar la importancia geopolítica de la región, se analizan también las políticas gubernamentales de China, el papel de la diáspora uigur y las distintas reacciones de la comunidad internacional ante el conflicto. En el artículo se enfatiza que el Gobierno chino percibe una amenaza creciente de grupos con potencial extremista y capacidades de organización transfronteriza y por ende aplica medidas de coerción y restringe libertades civiles. El Gobierno de China justifica las políticas implementadas en Xinjiang por razones de seguridad nacional y aborda el tema como un conflicto doméstico; sin embargo, el problema ha comenzado a tomar relevancia a nivel internacional y aun con el temor de represalias (principalmente económicas), distintos países se han manifestado en contra de las políticas gubernamentales de China en Xinjiang.
Innovations of the ICD-11 in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A psychological approach
Authors: Greaves-Lord Kirstin , Skuse David , Mandy William
Published: December 2022

Background

This article aims to explain and elaborate upon the recently released ICD-11 criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD, World Health Organization), which endorse a medical model.

Method

We integrate insights from several disciplines (e.g., psychology, linguistics, sociology and lived experiences) to reflect the scientific and ethical insights derived from the biopsychosocial, neurodiversity perspective on autism.

Results

First, we describe the core domains of ASD’s behavioural characteristics and then the lifetime, developmental perspective on the manifestations of these behaviours. Subsequently, we discuss potential underlying neuropsychology, related behaviours (i.e. associated features/conditions) and we consider some similarities and differences with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM 5, American Psychological Association).

Conclusions

Recommendations for clinical application are provided. For instance, diagnostic classification in clinical practise should be a means to provide proper, suitable care, and therefore all diagnostic assessments should be used to tailor interventions and/or care to the capacities and genuine needs of the people that ask for professional help.

Voices of Distress: The Emotional Peril of Not Attaining a Dietetic Internship in Ontario
Authors: Brady Jennifer L. , Hoang Annie , Siswanto Olivia , Riesel Jordana , Gingras Jacqui
Published: December 2022

Obtaining dietetic licensure in Ontario requires completion of a Dietitians of Canada (DC) accredited four-year undergraduate degree in nutrition and an accredited post-graduate internship or combined Master’s degree program. Given the scarcity of internship positions in Ontario, each year approximately two-thirds of the eligible applicants who apply do not receive a position (Brady, Hoang, Tzianetas, Buccino, Glynn, & Gingras, 2012). Anecdotally, not securing an internship position is known to be a particularly disconcerting experience that has significant consequences for individuals’ personal, financial, and professional well being. However, no known interpretive research has yet explored students’ experiences of being unsuccessful in applying for internship positions. Fifteen individuals who applied between 2005 and 2009 to an Ontario-based dietetic internship program, but were unsuccessful at least once, participated in a one-on-one semi-structured interview. Findings reveal that participants’ experiences unfold successively in four phases that are characterized by increasingly heightened emotional peril: naïveté, competition, devastation, and frustration. The authors conclude that the current model of dietetic education and training in Ontario causes lasting distress to students and hinders the future growth and vitality of the dietetic profession. Further research is required to understand the impact of the current model on dietetic educators, internship coordinators, and preceptors as participants in the internship application process.

Changes in the social and technological innovation potential of the Visegrad (V4) regions (2001–2019)
Authors: Szendi Dóra , Kocziszky György
Published: December 2022

For more than a century, technical progress and innovation have been at the forefront of economics. This is one of the reasons why the importance of innovation has been recognised by economic policy makers and the concept has become part of the public narrative. However, this does not mean that research has come to an end, which would in any case contradict Schumpeter's theory of the need for change and renewal. Despite the wealth of knowledge we have, we can state that there are a number of recurring (e.g. social and ethical aspects of innovation, etc.) and new (e.g. spill-over effects of innovation, the effectiveness of public intervention in supporting the development of innovation networks, etc.) questions that can be asked about innovation. In the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008, the cyclical COVID crisis starting in 2019 and, not least, the Russian-Ukrainian war, the peripheral regions of the post-socialist countries of Europe are falling further behind. Research, development and innovation investment, already extremely low, has further declined and the economic outlook has worsened. Social innovation may therefore be of particular importance in these regions. Our study has two main parts. First, we briefly review the place and role of innovation in economic thinking and assess the definitions of social innovation; in the second part we analyse the differences in the NUTS2 regions of the Visegrad countries in terms of the ranking of technological and social innovation potential.
The Relationship between Philippine Population, Remittances, Foreign Direct Investment, and Trade Openness on its Gross Domestic Product
Authors: Gonzalez Lorenzo Martin , Llanto Ceejay , Manapat Carlos
Published: December 2022

Considering that GDP is one of the main indicators that influence the economic growth of a country, there are certain factors that affect its increase or decrease. This study was conducted to understand the relationship between the Philippines’ economic growth (Gross Domestic Product) and its economic factors namely: Trade Openness, Inflation rate, Foreign Direct Investment, and Labor Force. The researchers used a quantitative-correlational approach to determine the strength of the relationships between the variables. Moreover, the researchers concluded that the variables of Foreign Direct Investment, Trade Openness, Labor Force were significant determinants to explain economic growth, while Inflation Rate was insignificant. The Philippine government may utilize the paper to emphasize the relationship of the variables towards economic growth, specifically, the Trade openness variable, which showed a significant relationship towards economic growth yet had unsatisfactory results as an indicator for economic growth.

Published: December 2022

This study aims to analyze a learning trajectory for social arithmetic using the culinary context of Yogyakarta and the results of the retrospective analysis as an application of the hypothetical learning trajectory. The research method used was design research with three stages, namely preliminary design, teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. The research subjects who contributed to this study were sixth elementary school graders (11-12 years old) using the purposive sampling technique. The data collection techniques were documents (written data on students’ work), and participating-interview about students' thinking in mathematics during the learning process. Data analysis used retrospective analysis. The findings of this study indicate that this learning trajectory is beneficial in achieving learning objectives. The learning trajectory in this study can be considered as an alternative way or as a reference for teachers to design RME-based learning that supports the development of students' conceptual understanding, self-confidence using their strategies, communication, and reasoning skills about social arithmetic concepts. In addition, the learning process and the results of the retrospective analysis contain characteristics of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME).

This study aims to analyze perceptions, barriers and efforts to overcome the problems of left-handed-friendly education in Indonesia. The study focuses on the policy on left-handed-friendly education in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive analytical study method. The informants of this study were teachers from 4 different provinces. Collecting data using in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation studies. Furthermore, data analysis used data reduction techniques, data presentation, and verification to draw a conclusion. The results of this study concluded that there was no specific policy in education that regulates left-handed friendly education. This can be seen from (1) there is no consideration of left-handed friendly facilities at the primary, secondary, and higher education levels, (2) educational institution facilities are not friendly to left-handed students, and (3) there is no anticipation of the obstacles that arise. arise related to facilities that are not left-handed friendly. So far, efforts to implement left-handed-friendly education are still providing relatively longer time than other students. Through this research an implication can be obtained that education in Indonesia has not prepared special learning facilities (infrastructure) for left-handed children, because there is no official policy from the government or internal education providers.
A thickened formula reduces feeding-associated oxygen desaturation and bradycardia in preterm infants
Authors: Lee Gayoung , Lee Juyoung , Jeon Ga Won , Jun Yong Hoon
Published: December 2022

Background: Although preterm infants often experience desaturation or bradycardia during oral feeding, specific guidelines for its management are lacking.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a commercial thickened formula (TF) on oxygen saturation and heart rate stabilization during oral feeding in preterm infants.Methods: This retrospective study included 122 infants born at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) 31+6 weeks (29+4 −34+6 weeks) of gestation weighing 1,725 g (1,353–2,620 g) and fed commercial cornstarch-containing TF due to feeding-associated desaturation or bradycardia. We excluded infants fed TF to treat symptomatic regurgitation. Desaturation and bradycardia events were compared between 3 days prior to the change and 3 days after the change to TF. Desaturation and bradycardia were defined as SpO2 <85% and heart rate <100 beats/min during or immediately after oral bottle feeding, respectively.Results: The median (IQR) postmenstrual age and weight were 36+1 weeks (34+6–38+0 weeks) and 2,395 g (2,160–2,780 g), respectively, at the time of change to TF. The frequency of desaturation significantly decreased after TF feeding (median [IQR]: 2.3 [1.3–3.3] events/day vs. 0.3 [0–1.7] events/day, P< 0.001). Bradycardia also decreased after TF feeding (0.3 [0–1] events/day vs. 0 [0–0.7] events/day, P=0.006). There were no cases of diarrhea or electrolyte abnormalities after TF feeding. Defecation frequency decreased (P=0.037), and polyethylene glycol was prescribed to 27% of the TF-fed infants. In a subgroup analysis of 16 infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, the frequency of desaturation was reduced (2.3 [1.8–3.8] events/day vs. 0.5 [0–1.5] events/day, P=0.042), and weight gain improved (22.5 [3.1–36.3] g/day vs. 41.3 [28.1–55.1] g/day, P=0.019), after TF feeding.Conclusion: TF feeding significantly reduces oral feeding-associated oxygen desaturation and bradycardia in preterm infants. TF may be useful for stabilizing oxygen saturation and heart rate among preterm infants with difficulties in oral feeding.
The independent effect of exercise on biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review
Authors: Chen George , Banini Bubu , Do Albert , Lim Joseph K.
Published: December 2022

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Although previous studies have demonstrated that exercise independently reduces hepatic steatosis measured by imaging modalities in NAFLD, the effect of exercise on histological endpoints remains unclear. We aimed to conduct a systematic review of the independent effect of exercise on hepatic steatosis, steatohepatitis, and liver fibrosis as measured by histological assessment or non-invasive tests (NITs) in biopsy-proven NAFLD. A systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases was performed using keywords related to exercise, NAFLD, and biopsy. Articles were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) involved human subjects with biopsy-proven NAFLD, (2) analyzed the independent effect of exercise, (3) assessed changes in hepatic steatosis, steatohepatitis, or liver fibrosis via either histological evaluation or NITs, and (4) were original research studies. We identified a total of six studies that analyzed the independent effect of exercise on histological endpoints in biopsy-proven NAFLD. Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) did not detect significant histological improvement following exercise interventions, while other non-randomized interventional studies showed that exercise reduces hepatocyte ballooning and liver fibrosis. In addition, five studies assessed NIT outcomes, collectively demonstrating that exercise improves hepatic steatosis measured by magnetic resonance imaging-based techniques but not serum biomarkers for steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis. Additional large RCTs and meta-analyses are warranted to investigate the independent effect of exercise on histological and clinical outcome endpoints in NAFLD.
Surveillance of the progression and assessment of treatment endpoints for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Authors: Shi Yi-wen , Fan Jian-Gao
Published: December 2022

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an aggressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) characterized by steatosis-associated inflammation and liver injury. Without effective treatment or management, NASH can have life-threatening outcomes. Evaluation and identification of NASH patients at risk for adverse outcomes are therefore important. Key issues in screening NASH patients are the assessment of advanced fibrosis, differentiation of NASH from simple steatosis, and monitoring of dynamic changes during follow-up and treatment. Currently, NASH staging and evaluation of the effectiveness for drugs still rely on pathological diagnosis, despite sample error issues and the subjectivity associated with liver biopsy. Optimizing the pathological assessment of liver biopsy samples and developing noninvasive surrogate methods for accessible, accurate, and safe evaluation are therefore critical. Although noninvasive methods including elastography, serum soluble biomarkers, and combined models have been implemented in the last decade, noninvasive diagnostic measurements are not widely applied in clinical practice. More work remains to be done in establishing cost-effective strategies both for screening for at-risk NASH patients and identifying changes in disease severity. In this review, we summarize the current state of noninvasive methods for detecting steatosis, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis in patients with NASH, and discuss noninvasive assessments for screening at-risk patients with a focus on the characteristics that should be monitored at follow-up.

Research objectives: determination of the intensity of photosynthesis in woody plants. Collection of data on the intensity of photosynthesis of the studied plant species in the first and second years and determination of the influence of external factors of temperature, light intensity, CO2 and O2 concentrations in the air, air and soil humidity on the photosynthesis process. Research results: low intensity of photosynthesis is observed in species growing in areas with a temperate or mild climate. Conclusion: plant species that live mainly in areas with a continental climate or. in mountainous conditions have a high intensity of photosynthesis.

The article characterizes the fauna of light harriers (Circus cyaneus(Linnaeus, 1766), Circus macrourus(S. G. Gmelin, 1771), Circus pygargus (Linnaeus, 1758)) living in open and near-water spaces of the territory of the Samara Region. The dynamics of the number of light harriers and the reasons provoking significant fluctuations in the number of harriers are analyzed in detail. The boundaries of the breeding ranges of light harriers within the European part of Russia, the Middle Volga region and the real nesting zones on the territory of the Samara Region are discussed. The sections to which light harriers especially gravitate during reproduction are given, nevertheless visiting the entire area occupied by the region. Analyzing data from publications and oral reports of ornithologists on avifauna of the Samara region, the authors extrapolate a picture of the dynamics of the ‘squeezing’ of light harriers from the natural environment. The paper provides information on changes in the number of each species of light harriers in recent years. Among the most important factors limiting the number of light harriers, the following are noted: plowing of steppe areas; destruction of the habitat of birds; unauthorized, spontaneous burning of dry grass in the floodplains of small rivers in the spring; scattering of poisoned baits in order to exterminate rodents; poaching; the effect of the ‘anxiety factor’ in the breeding season; instability of the food supply.

The article analyzes the composition of ecological groups of birds registered within the limits of the Yaitskoe Lake Natural Monument. Yaitskoe includes 9 reservoirs of different sizes formed on the basis of the left-bank arm of the Samara River, which strongly meandered for more than 300 years in the estuary part of the Samara River. The lake is located 200 m from the southern border of Samara and less than 200 m from the Yuzhny Gorod new residential district. It was revealed that the avifauna of the Yaitskoe Lake Natural Monument includes 90 species of birds, of which 3 species are northern migrants, 11 periodically nest here and 76 nest almost regularly. These 90 species are belonging to the following orders: Podicipediformes (4), Ciconiiformes (4), Anseriformes (10), Falconiformes (10), Charadriiformes (8), Lariformes (5), Gruiformes (1), Ralliformes (4), Apodiformes (1), Cuculiformes (1), Columbiformes (2), Strigiformes (3), Coraciiformes (1), Upupiformes (1), Piciformes (2), Passeriformes (33 species). The avifauna of the Yaitskoe Lake Nature Monument can be divided into three (3) ecological groups: aquatic, swamp-meadow and shrub-forest birds, as well as a group of birds of prey associated with different coastal-aquatic biotopes. Aquatic group include: divers (4 species of grebes), aquatic-terrestrial (goose-like and coot — 11 species), aquatic-aerial (gulls and terns — 5 species); swamp-meadow: sandpipers of shoals — 6 species, shanks — 5 species, grass-climbing — 16 species; shrub-forest: ground-dwellers — 4 species, tree-climbers — 20 species, aerial hunters — 6 species; birds of prey include: soaring flyers — 3 species, fly-flyers — 6 species, hawks — 1 species, falcons — 3 species.
From the temple of life to the temple of death: keyness analyses of the transitions of a cult

Given their socially and personally beneficial teachings and practices, religious groups are generally seen as positive. However, some religious groups, specifically cults, can have destructive effects. The most notable destructive cult was Peoples Temple, led by Jim Jones, who convinced his followers to commit mass suicide in 1978 at Jonestown, Guyana. Previous research into Peoples Temple has mainly focussed on its social–psychological characteristics with limited applicability to other cults. This study investigates the transitions of Peoples Temple from sect to cult to destructive cult by examining the aboutness and communication styles through the patterns of key linguistic features in Jim Jones’ sermons from the 1960s to 1978 using keyness analyses. The findings show that sect sermons promote religious concepts through a personal involvement style which characterise the group as beneficial, while destructive cult sermons emphasise concepts not traditionally associated with religious discourse, together with the use of othering, intensifying, swearing and controlling styles, and thereby characterising Peoples Temple as dangerous. The cult sermons display dual characteristics which show the transition of Peoples Temple from being beneficial to detrimental. This study provides linguistic indicators for identifying the transitions of a religious group to a cult.
Tuberculosis is one of the health issues found in Point Mar, Vista County.

This presentation discusses tuberculosis (TB) as one of the health issues found in Point Mar, Vista County. Although currently, Vista County faces several potential health issues, including periodic outbreaks of food poisoning, increasing levels of childhood obesity, Chlamydia infections among teens, and increased job-related accident rates, the focus on TB, which has increased among Asian immigrants who have moved to the area, is justified by the fact that the disease is likely to affect more population in the nearest future unless effective preventative measures are taken.

Identification of bacterial communities in both the raw material and the subsequent silages provides new insights into understanding the silage fermentation process. The objective was to evaluate how different silage management factors affect silage preservation characteristics, the microbiome, and their correlations. A red clover dominated sward was used as the raw material and ensiled in pilot scale using a 3 × 4 design, with three management conditions including the level of compaction (loose and tight), and further, for the tightly compacted silages contamination with soil and faeces was conducted; and four different additive treatments with different modes of action: Control without additive (CONT), formic and propionic acid-based additive (FPA), homofermentative lactic acid bacteria inoculant (LAB) and salt-based additive (SALT). Samples of the raw material and subsequent silages were taken and routinely analysed, including DNA extraction and PCR amplification using universal primers. Tight compaction reduced slightly the extent of silage fermentation, but contamination with soil and faeces stimulated a non-desired type of fermentation with higher concentrations of ethanol, acetic acid and propionic acid and a higher pH. Use of LAB and SALT had only minimal effects on silage fermentation, but FPA clearly restricted fermentation and resulted in a better fermentation quality (lower pH, ammonia N and acetic acid concentration) of the silages compared to CONT. The FPA silages presented greater diversity of bacterial communities compared to the other silages. Proteobacteria were the most abundant in raw material, followed by Firmicutes, and major shifts happened in these communities during the silage fermentation process. Weissella was found in small amounts in the raw material but it dominated in the silages. The most abundant communities in the silages, such as Weissella, Lactobacillus and Pseudomonas, were correlated with several silage fermentation characteristics. Use of FPA improved fermentation quality of silages, but SALT and LAB differed from CONT to a smaller extent. All additives modified the bacterial profiles of grasses ensiled under different management conditions. The combination of parameters related to silage quality and bacterial communities provided a deeper understanding of the silage fermentation process and how they can be manipulated to obtain better feed quality.
