Authors: Budaraga I Ketut , Hermalena Leffy , Susanti Susanti
Published: December 2023

The goal of this study was to see the effect utilizing chitosan coating and liquid smoke had on pempek as an antibacterial. This study was carried out in an exploratory method, with differences in tuna pempek storage period, namely: control=0 days, A=1 day, B=2 days, C=5 days, D=7 days, and E=9 days. The results showed that the longer pempek tuna was stored using chitosan coating with the addition of 1% liquid smoke, the lower the total plate number was compared to without the addition of 1% liquid smoke. The storage time of pempek tuna without liquid smoke yielded results on chitosan coating, with water content ranging from 6.24 to 11.99% and protein content ranging from 3.68 to 11.8%. The Total Plate Count (TPC) test result was ranging from 5x10-4 to 13x10-4 colonies/g. With liquid smoke added, the water content increased to 4.56−10.48%, the protein content increased to 5.43−12.39, and the TPC test resulted in 2.7x10-4-7.3x10-4 colonies/g. According to SNI 7661.1:2013, a storage time of 3 days in the chitosan coating treatment with the addition of liquid is in the acceptable range

Memórias do Prêmio Esso. Um processo de autorreferenciação na conformação de identidade(s) jornalística(s)
Authors: Castilho Marcio de Souza
Published: December 2023

Este trabalho se propõe a refletir sobre o Prêmio Esso de Jornalismo, o mais tradicional da imprensa brasileira, no período compreendido entre 1964 e 1978. Utilizamos o método de entrevistas com organizadores e julgadores do prêmio, complementando a pesquisa documental, de forma a situar o discurso em sua historicidade. O cruzamento entre as duas fontes de pesquisa – entrevistas e documental – procurou esclarecer algumas questões acerca dos processos identitários na imprensa brasileira. Ao considerarmos que as identidades são organizadas dentro de um permanente processo de interação e intercâmbios sociais, estabelecendo, de acordo com os processos históricos, novas relações de poder, buscamos identificar alguns valores em torno dos quais os jornalistas negociaram sentidos sobre sua profissão no período da ditadura militar.

This work intends to reflect on the Esso Journalism Prize, the most traditional award of the Brazilian press, in the period between 1964 and 1978. We use the method of interviews with promoters and judges, complementing the documentary research, in order to place the discourse in its historicity. The analysis of two research sources—interviews and documentary—is important for the question of the journalist’s professional identity. Assuming the identities are organized into a permanent process of interaction and social exchanges, establishing, in accordance with the historical processes, new power relations, we will seek to identify some values on which journalists have negotiated the meanings about their work during the military dictatorship.

Ce travail se propose de réfléchir sur le Prix Esso de Journalisme, le plus prestigieux de la presse brésilienne, durant la période comprise entre 1964 et 1978. Nous utilisons la méthode de l’entretien avec les organisateurs et les juges du prix associée à la recherche documentaire, de manière à situer le discours en son historicité. Le croisement entre les deux sources de recherche — entretiens et documentation — a cherché à éclaircir quelques questions concernant le processus identitaire dans la presse brésilienne. Considérant que les identités s’organisent dans un processus permanent d’interaction et d’échanges sociaux, en établissant, en rapport avec les cadres historiques, de nouvelles relations de pouvoir, nous cherchons à identifier quelques valeurs autour desquelles les journalistes ont négocié les perspectives de leur profession durant la période de la dictature militaire.

Published: December 2023

Adequate disinfection of the root canal system plays a crucial role in ensuring the enduring success of endodontic therapy. While chemomechanical preparation is a major part of disinfection protocol, intracanal medicaments, such as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), help in eliminating the microbial flora that remains even after chemomechanical preparation. Enhancing the action of these antimicrobial agents will improve disinfection. Various vehicles have been studied that augment the action of intracanal medicaments and debate about their supremacy has been ongoing. Aqueous, viscous, and oily tensioactive agents serve their functions and have their own limitations. This review was undertaken to comprehensively analyze the effect of various vehicles on the antimicrobial activity of Ca(OH)2. In conclusion, aqueous, viscous, and oily vehicles have different advantages, and the type of vehicle utilized depends on the clinical situation at hand.
A Rare Case of Symmetrical Peripheral Gangrene in Central Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator in a Pediatric Patient, an Unusual Complication of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Authors: Rajeev Meera , Sahu Manoj
Published: December 2023

Symmetrical peripheral gangrene is an unusual complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) which can arise due to low cardiac output state, high inotropic support, inadequate anticoagulation, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and sepsis. In symmetrical peripheral gangrene, there is no evidence of large vessel occlusion or vasculitis. It can be due to the absence of pulsatile flow in the peripheral arteries that result in stasis and microthrombi formation which causes occlusion of small arterioles. A 10-month-old male child who underwent anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery repair and required central venoarterial ECMO support post-surgery due to severe myocardial dysfunction developed symmetrical peripheral ischemia with gangrenous changes in the right-hand fingers while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The limb ischemic changes improved to normal after the child convalesced from heart failure. We describe these changes and the management here.

Authors: Ramachandra Praveen , Tariwal Vinayakumar S. , Shree K. R. Ramya
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Worldwide, 74% of all deaths, or 41 million/year, are caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In India, 65% of fatalities are caused by NCDs. NCDs are caused by risk factors connected to lifestyle, such as bad eating habits, inactivity and problematic alcohol and cigarette use. In light of this, the present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of NCD risk factors among patients utilising a Bengaluru tertiary care facility.

Materials and Methods:

Patients at a tertiary care centre in Bengaluru made up the 480 participants in this cross-sectional study. After receiving consent, a semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. SPSS software version 25 was used to evaluate the data once it had been entered into Microsoft Excel. As a test of significance, the Chi-square test was applied.

Results:

Participants in the study had an average age of 43.6 ± 14.6 years. The prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle was 90.6%, followed by physical inactivity at 68.3%, and obesity at 11.5%. Risk factors such as physical inactivity, waist-hip ratio and obesity were significantly associated with the age group.

Conclusion:

By implementing lifestyle changes and undertaking community-based health education programs, it should be possible to counteract the rise in the prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable illnesses.

Authors: MALYSH I.R , ZGRZHEBLOVSKA L.V
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is one of the most common healthcare associated infections, arising in the ICU. The greatest difficulty is presented by patients, whose infection is caused by gram-negative multidrug-resistant strains. That is why empirical antibacterial therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia requires optimization and improvement.

Aim of study: To compare the effectiveness of two schemes of empirical antibacterial therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia, based on carbapenems, aminoglycosides and monobactams.

Materials and methods: This is randomized controlled monocentral study, which included 64 patients older than 18 years, who have developed ventilator- associated pneumonia during long-term mechanical ventilation.

Results: The use of combination of meropenem and aztreonam as an empirical antibiotic therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia was accompanied by a significant increase of oxygenation indexes, effective purification of sputum from microorganisms, decrement of resistance and superinfection development in comparing with patients with traditional scheme empiric antibacterial therapy. The recommended scheme is also safe in nephrotoxicity context.

Conclusion: The use as an empirical antibacterial therapy of ventilator-associated pneumonia the combination of meropenem and aztreonam was accompanied by significant decrement of length of mechanical ventilation and significant reduction of ICU-stay. The mortality levels were also less in investigation group compared with the group with traditional scheme of empirical antibacterial therapy.

Published: December 2023

A critical incident (CI) is any failed event that could have been prevented and carries the risk of undesirable consequences for the patient. The study of critical incidents and physicians' preparedness for their occurrence helps to reduce their consequences, risks of recurrence and improve patient safety. The aim of the study was to investigate how well are graduate residents and anesthesiologists prepare to manage critical incidents (CI) and perioperative emergencies (PE) during anesthesia. Methods and Materials: A prospective observational study was conducted at the Bogomolets National Medical University, the postgraduate department of surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care. The study was conducted from May 2022 to June 2023. Anesthesiologists and final year residents were assessed for the acquired competencies in the management of CI and PE: they conducted a self-assessment of their own competencies; passed 1 simulation scenario with an assessment on the CEХ scale during the scenario. Results. The study included 60 final year residents and 24 anesthesiologists. Many of residents (55 %) and anesthesiologists (63 %) generally assessed their readiness to manage CI and PE as high: 45% and 47% respectively considered their level of readiness to be insufficient, including 27% and 8% who assessed it as low. When stratified by the type of CI and PE, it was found that residents and anesthesiologists were best prepared to provide care in case of CI and PE from the side of breathing and airway patency cardiovascular system. Significantly worse anesthesiologists assessed their readiness for rare emergencies, such as malignant hyperthermia, anaphylaxis, local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) (OR 0.35 [0.17- 0.74], p=0.009 for residents and OR 0.25 [0.07-0.8], p=0, 04 for anesthesiologists) and events related to apparatus malfunction, lack of power supply, and catching fire in the respiratory circuit (OR 0.4 [0.2-0.8], p=0.03 for residents and OR 0.25 [0.07-0.8], p=0.04 for anesthesiologists). Anesthesiologists had a significantly higher level of readiness and competence for all individual parameters and the overall mean score during simulation scenarios (7.69±0.53 vs. 5.94±1.6, p<0.0001). Conclusions. Anesthesiologists generally showed higher results in readiness to manage CI and PE during anesthesia. Difficult competencies for both residents and anesthesiologists were the resource management, organizational competencies, and stress resistance.

Authors: Afonin S. Ye. , Osipov V. S.
Published: December 2023

In the current economic and political environment, the primary task is to strive for technological independence and self-sufficiency of the economy with maximum reliance on its own resources in development, while not excluding economic expansion by increasing competitiveness of the economy in global market. The key competitive factor is innovativeness of products and services, as well as the degree of the most advanced production technologies implementation, which together have a decisive impact on the economy efficiency in both external and domestic markets. The widespread development of globalization trends, digitalization, modern means of communication, the territorial factor importance are replaced by the factors of technological, scientific, and innovative development. In this regard, it is an urgent task to study these processes and search for factors affecting the qualitative growth of processes and manufactured products efficiency. In the present study, using mathematical and statistical methods, it has been established that the decisive value for the economy efficiency on a national scale is the value of expenditures on research and development and experimental-construction works. This indicator has a direct impact on innovation processes both in the country as a whole and in individual regions. However, one of the significant obstacles in development and sustainability of regional economies is hyperconcentration of scientific expenditures in a few regions that has a negative impact on regional development efficiency.

Published: December 2023

The human resources market is a derivative of the key market for goods and services, the growth of which ensures economic growth in the country. However, it is efficient human resources that enable rational use of natural potential, ensure capital reproduction and new technologies creation. Changes in the labor market can fundamentally transform socio-economic ecosystem and affect the level of political stability in the country. For example, in the 2010s, imbalance in the United Kingdom human resources market provoked political instability that forced the government to withdraw from the European Union. The purpose of the research is to identify impact of the labor market on political decisions on the example of the United Kingdom, to determine causes of disequilibrium in the human resources market, to highlight stages of the European Union and stages of Great Britain’s exit from it, and to present the results of Brexit at the level of the economy and the labor market. The article relies on historical-logical and comparative methods of research, comparison of macroeconomic indicators dynamics on the basis of a systematic approach. Statistical data of the World Bank and the Office for National Statistics allow us to confirm mutual influence of the labor market and the policy of the country’s government.
Peculiarities of general cultural and political values transformation in Russia
Authors: Nevolin B. S. , Nitsevich V. F.
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that over the past thirty years Russian state cultural policy has been focused on strengthening democratic cultural values, but in recent years the situation has begun to change dramatically. The ruling elite of the country announced the state cultural policy reorientation, which should now be based exclusively on traditional values. The purpose of the study is to identify features of the general cultural and political values system transformation in Russia. The objectives of the article are to identify current general cultural and political values that fall under the category of “traditional”, to establish value orientations that are most significant for Russians at present, and to determine degree of risk of a value split in Russian society. The research was conducted using such methods as classical document analysis, social survey, comparative analysis, systematization, and visualization methods. The results of the study show that the values accepted as traditional and the values identified by respondents as significant coincide in such positions as justice, human rights, freedom, patriotism, morality, collectivism, and mutual aid. No immediate threat of degradation of Russian society’s values has been identified. The risks associated with a possible split in society are moderate. The results of the sociological study allow us to conclude that the political views of one part of the Russian society are polarized, but the level of apolitical attitude of the other part is increasing.
Priority areas of support for small and medium-sized enterprises within the framework of innovation policy
Authors: Simonov S. V. , Osipov V. S.
Published: December 2023

The introduction of innovations is one of the main economic goals, since it is the main factor in ensuring the fulfillment of the tasks of import substitution, expanding economic expansion in foreign markets, and increasing the competitiveness of the domestic economy as a whole. Proceeding from this, the task of studying innovative processes in the domestic economic field is an urgent task. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises, since small organizations are able to respond more flexibly to market requirements and have less inertia in solving problems of quickly adjusting production to new rules. The small size of an enterprise determines the need for high efficiency of innovative spending, in contrast to larger and self-sufficient economic formations. Based on this, it is advisable to conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of R&D in the SME sector with data on the economy as a whole in order to determine the priority vector of state support. In the course of the study, using mathematical and statistical methods, analysis, and synthesis. A conclusion has been made about the applicability of the method for determining the effectiveness of innovative processes through the ratio of innovative products output volume to the amount of expenditure on innovation. This calculation method made it possible to establish that SMEs demonstrate the greatest efficiency in a number of areas that are important in terms of ensuring the country’s technological sovereignty and import substitution.

La inclusión financiera en el Perú está en aumento, pues ya el 56 % de los adultos tiene productos financieros. Esto ha incrementado el uso de cajeros automáticos y los riesgos asociados a ellos, como el shoulder surfing. Buscando mitigar el riesgo de este ataque, se hizo una prueba de concepto de interfaz touchless que permite a los usuarios ingresar su PIN de manera segura, proponiendo un ejemplo para que sea usado por entidades bancarias o fabricantes de cajeros automáticos. Para esto, se generaron secuencias desordenadas aleatoriamente con los números del 0 al 9 sin que estos se repitan. Luego, se implementan sensores infrarrojos para ingresar los números del PIN. Se realizaron pruebas de mitigación y usabilidad con un grupo de 16 personas. La primera prueba mostró resultados alentadores, pues a los atacantes se le dificulta identificar los dígitos ingresados por los usuarios y solo lograron registrar el 25 % correctamente. Asimismo, en las pruebas de usabilidad se obtuvo un promedio general de usabilidad de 78.4375, situando a la interfaz en un rango B +, por encima del umbral de 68 puntos. Considerando esto, se concluye que la propuesta cumple con el objetivo de permitir al usuario ingresar su PIN de manera segura ante ataques de shoulder surfing.

Language as an object of interdisciplinary research: methodological aspects in the context of development trends of political and legal spheres in modern conditions
Authors: Zhuk Natalya
Published: December 2023

Тhe article is devoted to the identification and analysis of the main methodological assets of interdisciplinary studies of the phenomenon of language at the interface of various social sciences and disciplines (in particular, jurisprudence, linguistics, sociology, political science, geopolitics, marketing management) and the consequences of their use in the context of the significance of their influence on the development of political of the legal sphere at the state and world levels in the conditions of modern reality. Particular attention is paid to the patterns of the emergence of specific linguistic political and social phenomena ("new languages", "languages of Nazism", global language) and the transformation of ideas about language in the light of the use of marketing tools in the field of language policy. Special attention is paid to the study of the main regularities of the influence of the globalization factor on the linguistic space of the world in the context of the problems of violation of the "linguistic balance of languages" and the use of language as a tool of "soft power".

It was found that legal linguistics, political linguistics and sociolinguistics are key subdisciplines in the linguistic field in the political and legal context. Based on the study of the influence of the globalization factor on the language space, it was found that among its consequences is the emergence of a new political language, the key directions of which discourses were reflected in the legal dimension through the legalization of certain social relations, and the global spread of the English language - a key tool of "soft forces" of Great Britain in the geopolitical sphere, which is considered as the main threat to the "linguistic balance of power". As a result of the analysis of the fundamentals of the marketing approach to language policy, we came to the conclusion that its application to the phenomenon of language as such contributes to the reduction of the spiritual and civilizational assets of mankind to the mercantile level of world perception. As a proposal, the need to begin the formation of appropriate (scientific) terminology systems in the context of creating a new language capable of providing conceptual support for radical transformations in all spheres of human existence in the future is indicated.

Authors: Demchyna Yaroslav
Published: December 2023

The aggressive policy of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, resulting in the annexation of the Crimea peninsula, further aggression in eastern Ukraine in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and widescale invasion into Ukraine after 24.02.2022, has left no questions about the relevance of the field of national security and defense in Ukraine. In turn, Ukraine, as a legal democratic state, can implement measures for national security and defense only in accordance with legal procedures, which, in turn, highlights the research on the legal support of the activities of subjects of national security and defense in Ukraine.

The aim of this research is to determine an exhaustive list of subjects that may be considered part of Ukraine's national security and defense. The research is based on the Constitution of Ukraine, Laws of Ukraine (including Constitutional Laws understood as laws whose existence is already foreseen by the content of the Constitution of Ukraine), and subordinate normative legal acts.

This research primarily utilizes comparative-analytical and functional research methods. An exhaustive list of subjects of national security and defense in Ukraine is not specified in any legislative act, and the only normatively regulated list, similar to the subject of the research, is established only in the Law of Ukraine "On National Security of Ukraine" as a "security and defense sector," the definition of which is given in the form of a list of subjects whose functional activities are aimed at protecting Ukraine's national interests from threats. The national security interests include state sovereignty, territorial integrity, democratic constitutional order, economic and information security, human life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and safety, rights and freedoms, restoration of territorial integrity within the internationally recognized state border of Ukraine, social development, primarily the development of human capital, protection of the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of Ukrainian citizens; European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Thus, the significant number of the aforementioned national security interests does not allow considering the list of subjects in the security and defense sector as exhaustive, and consequently, there is a need for a more detailed study of this issue.

The studied legal monuments of the following periods: princely period; the period when Ukrainian lands were part of the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires; the period of the Ukrainian SSR; the period of the independent state of Ukraine before the adoption of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine and the modern period.

It is emphasized that the responsibility for an insult accrues a long time in the history of the legislation of our country. It contained norms on responsibility for the insult of any person, as well as for the insult of specifically defined persons: a woman, a mother, a father, a nobleman, etc. The insult was possible both by word and by physical actions. It was determined that for the first time the responsibility for insulting a serviceman was established by the Military Ordinance of Peter the I. The mentioned ordinance recognized only an officer (a special subject) as the subject of an insult. In the future, insult of various persons were criminalized: priests; officials; policemen, military personnel and others.

Article 435-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine of 2001 fixed the composition of the insult of a serviceman in this form for the first time. And although disposition of the article causes certain remarks from scientists, practical workers and representatives of civil society, it is an important step in the criminal legal protection of the right of military personnel to professional honor and dignity. The author emphasizes that the criminalization of the insult of a military serviceman meets the conditions of historical conditionality and is timely and necessary.

The article also provides author's definitions of the concepts of professional honor and dignity; criminal offense and its forms.

It is emphasised that the realisation of the right to food requires overcoming historically and structurally based inequalities that undermine the accessibility, adequacy, sufficiency and sustainability of food systems. The role of the World Food Programme (hereinafter – WFP) is highlighted, under the auspices of which a number of gender policies have been adopted, evolving from a women-centred approach to a focus on gender equality.

Responsible investment benchmarks and information asymmetry in the ESG segment
Authors: Plastun O. , Lasukova A. , Artemenko A. , Puhovkina Y.
Published: December 2023

A significant problem in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (hereinafter referred to as the SDGs) is insufficient financial support. The size of the investment gap before the pandemic, according to UN estimates, was $3.3-$4.5 trillion per year. The pandemic has significantly exacerbated the already difficult situation with financing, and has also set back humanity in achieving a number of the SDGs. The list of potential sources of offsetting the financial gap includes new taxes on the wealthy and pollution, debt relief for low- and middle-income countries, elimination of tax loopholes, redirection of subsidies from environmentally destructive activities, etc. However, a more market-oriented and gentle solution to the problem, both globally and at the level of individual countries, is the use of responsible investment tools. After all, ESG indicators are taken into account by investors and financial institutions when making investment and lending decisions, as well as by counterparties and suppliers in the course of commercial activities. ESG indicators are information about the environmental, social and governance factors of a company that are key to measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of investments in a company and business. The successful implementation of responsible investment is hampered by the existence of information asymmetry, for example, in the form of ESG mimicry. It means the use of various techniques that indicate the company's involvement in ESG, which is not really true. The goal of this article is to analyze effective methods for reducing information asymmetry in the ESG segment. It is proved that the use of responsible investment benchmarks in the form of ESG ratings can reduce the level of information asymmetry and increase the efficiency of responsible investment. In addition, the paper proposes a five-phase process for creating an ESG rating, which summarizes the experience of the best international practices and allows for more relevant assessments of companies' ESG efforts.
