Published: October 2023

Core muscles (lumbo-pelvic region) instability influences the lumbo-pelvic control, an imperative precipitating factor for Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP), leading to appreciable activity limitations and participation restrictions. This systematic review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) aims to explore the efficacy of core stability exercises (CSEs) compared with general exercises (GEs) in improving the function and pain among individuals with CLBP. The RCTs evaluating CSEs and GEs in people with CLBP were searched in Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Clinical Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Google scholar, and PubMed from January 1992 to July 2019. The primary outcomes were pain and disability that were measured using validated pain and disability instruments, respectively. Two of the five RCTs were of high methodological quality (PEDro score; 7-8/10), while the remaining three RCTs were of moderate methodological quality (PEDro score; 5-6/10). Lack of blinding was the major methodological concern of the included studies. Only three studies supported that CSEs was more effective than GEs, while remaining two studies demonstrated that CSEs and GEs were equally effective in reducing pain and disability in CLBP. The CSEs in CLBP is more effective in treating pain and disability compared with GEs. However, evidence don't strongly support CSEs as an optimal therapeutic choice for the patients with CLBP, hence more comprehensive systematic reviews and meta-analyses are warranted.

Authors: Kadi Yasmina , Korichi Ammar , Maalouf Chadi
Published: October 2023

As part of the energy transition and global environmental problems, improving the energy efficiency of buildings has become an imperative aspect for the architecture, engineering and construction industries. Furthermore, the energy performance of a building depends directly on the quality of its thermal envelope and the insulation material applied. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to assess by means of simulations the impact of ecological insulation materials on thermal comfort and energy efficiency in the case of a residential building in a Mediterranean climate. The results of the simulation show that optimising envelope design parameters can reduce annual energy loads for heating and for cooling. The most efficient strategies for achieving this reduction involve the use of ecological thermal insulation of external walls, optimising glazing settings and use of efficient shading devices.

Published: October 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os comportamentos de interação social de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) em relação aos seus pares com base na educação musical, focando na qualidade e na frequência da apresentação de tais comportamentos. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo de caso de forma descritiva, exploratória, observacional, com uma abordagem quantitativa. Neste estudo, participaram quatro crianças que possuem diagnóstico de TEA, nível 1, sem comprometimento intelectual concomitante, com idades entre nove e dez anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram uma Ficha de dados sociodemográficos e de desenvolvimento, para traçar os perfis dos participantes; e o Protocolo de observação de comportamentos de crianças com TEA com seus pares (POCC-TEA/Pares) para análise dos comportamentos de interação social, durante cinco encontros musicais (150 minutos). Os resultados demonstram que a música pode agir como ferramenta que propicia o desenvolvimento de habilidades na interação social e auto expressão espontânea de crianças com TEA, visto a prevalência e o aumento de iniciativas e respostas funcionais espontâneas, sem estereotipias, e uma diminuição de comportamentos não funcionais no decorrer dos encontros. A pesquisa revelou, portanto, a partir da estimulação musical, a capacidade de desenvolver trocas entre pares, desde linguagem verbal e expressão corporal, troca e compartilhamento de objetos, e assim promover um espaço favorável a interação com seus pares.
FOREIGN NARRATIVE SOURCES ABOUT THE EPOCH OF ALEXANDER NEVSKY IN THE WORKS OF RUSSIAN HISTORIANS OF THE 18TH – FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Authors:   Udmurt State University, Dolgov V. V.
Published: October 2023

The article considers the process of introducing foreign narrative sources about the epoch of Prince Alexander Nevsky into Russian historical science. Vasily N. Tatishchev initiated the work with foreign narrative sources for historical research. He took a lot of information from the Byzantine and Latin chronicles to work on “Russian History”. Working on the chronological period of the reign of Alexander Nevsky, he used the works of European travelers (Rubruk, Plano-Carpini, etc.). Tatishchev used foreign sources not so much for critical analysis, but to supplement the data of Russian chronicles. Prince Mikhail M. Shcherbatov continued this process. He used Scandinavian sources in the processing of the Swiss historian P.A. Male. Nikolay M. Karamzin made a large work with foreign narrative sources. He introduced German chronicles into scientific research, such as “The Prussian Chronicle” by Peter from Duesburg, “The History of Livonia” by Christian Kelch, “The Chronicle of Livonia” by Johann Gottfried Arndt, etc. Information from Scandinavian sources became available to him in the book of the Swedish historian Olof von Dalin. Nikolay A. Polevoy used the Chinese chronicles in the retelling of the monk Fr. Iakinf Bichurin, Baron d'Osson and German traveler Yu.G. Klaproth. Russian historians of the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th centuries actively used information from foreign sources. However, they did not use the original texts, but mostly their retellings.
LETTERS TO THE EDITORIAL BOARD TO THE SOVIET REGIONAL PRESS IN 1985–1991 AS A FORM OF HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVISM (ON THE MATERIALS OF THE PERM REGION)
Authors:   Perm State University, Ekhlakova A. R. , Yankovskaya G. A. ,   Perm State University
Published: October 2023

The article considers “letters to the editors” addressed to the regional Soviet newspapers in 1985–1991as a kind of “letters to the authorities” and an important channel for this type of social and political communication. In the second half of the 1980s, the scale of the epistolary activities of Soviet citizens increased significantly. The departments of letters in central and local newspapers and magazines “drowned” in the flow of letters written on a wide range of issues – from the current political agenda to personal biographies of newspaper readers. History, the past, historical and cultural heritage have become a distinctive feature of the “letters to the editor” during perestroika. The paper focuses on a complex of unpublished written sources – letters from readers to the editorial office of the popular newspapers Molodaya Gvardiya and Vechernyaya Perm, published in the capital of the Perm region. The data of the local press are supplemented by the archival files of the all-Union weekly Literaturnaya Gazeta. The study shows that letters to the editor of the period under research represent the hierarchical nature of communication between readers and the editors from the bottom up, demonstrate the inequality of the potentials of the sender and recipient of letters. Letters to the editor often were often written according to the formats that had developed in the previous decades of Soviet history. On the other hand, the sources make it possible to reveal the discursive features of the letters of the perestroika era in terms of composition, rhetorical devices and themes. Letters to the editor are interpreted as one of the channels for promoting local historical and cultural initiatives, activism on issues of local identity, etc.
ITINERARIES OF ANNA YAROSLAVNA IN FRANCE (1051–1075)
Authors:   St. Petersburg Institute of History, Russian Academy of Sciences, Shishkin V. V. ,   North-West Institute of Management, Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the itineraries of Anna Yaroslavna, Queen of the Franks, daughter of Prince Yaroslav I of Kyiv, during her stay in France in 1051–1075. Based on 26 royal charters with her mention, preserved in the repositories of France and the Vatican, her own charter of the foundation of the monastery of St. Vincent in 1065 from the National Library of France (BnF), as well as the act of her second husband Raoul de Vexin, Count of Amiens and Valois (between 1067 and 1069), the author attempts to reconstruct the movements of Anna Yaroslavna. The paper is devoted to the period of her marriage to the King Henry I (1051–1060), as well as to the first years of the reign of her son Philip I (1060–1067), when she actively participated in the administration of the possessions of the Capetian dynasty. As the analysis of the documents shows, Anna lived mainly in the royal residences and castles of Île-de-France, among which Paris did not play the role of the key seat of the royal family. Obviously, Anna Yaroslavna preferred traditional, built in the Carolingian times, castles and fortified estates, which served as security functions and, at the same time, were representative and convenient places. She also visited neighboring regions where the kings of France had the rights of suzerain. Her movements are closely related to the question of the socio-political role of the queen in the classical Middle Ages and make it possible to clarify the boundaries of the power and capabilities of a foreign princess on the French throne, as well as to debunk certain established myths and speculations about Anna Yaroslavna.
POLAND AND THE MARSHALL PLAN: THE UNITED STATES ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE POLITICAL COURSE OF THE POLISH LEADERSHIP TOWARDS THE WEST IN 1947
Authors:   Vyatka State University, Nemchaninov D. G.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the attempts of the United States in 1947 to involve Poland in the Marshall Plan. The motives of Washington's foreign policy in this direction, as well as the views of President Truman on the development of integration processes in post-war Europe, are investigated. After the failure of attempts in the first post-war years to bring to power a government oriented towards Washington and London, the American leadership, actualizing the traditional foreign trade relations of the Poles and taking advantage of the split in the Polish establishment, hoped to make a smooth turn of Warsaw's political course towards the West. The victory of the pro-Soviet party in the Polish leadership and, as a result, Poland's refusal to participate in the Marshall Plan led to a deterioration of Polish-American relations and Washington's attempts to reverse the situation by exerting economic pressure on the Polish leadership. However, it did not come to a complete rupture of economic relations between Washington and Warsaw, since Western Europe at that time was interested in Polish natural resources, and the State Department feared that this would only lead to an increase in Poland's dependence on the USSR. U.S. attempts to involve Poland in the Marshall Plan in 1947 resulted in the acceleration of the formation of two separate centers of European integration, which contributed to the formation of a bipolar confrontation between the USSR and the United States.
THE MOORS AND BYZANTINE EMPEROR HERACLIUS (610–641 AD) BY “THE CHRONICLE” OF JOHN OF NIKIU: A SOURCE-STUDY PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Мekhamadiev Е. А.
Published: October 2023

The paper deals with a rather rare and little-studied text – the “Chronicle” of John of Nikiu, a Coptic chronicler who lived in Egypt in the second half of the 7th century and headed the bishopric in the city of Nikiu. The “Chronicle”, preserved only in Ethiopic version, contains many valuable testimonies on Egypt during the Arab conquest (640–643). The author examines the sources of John of Nikiu, trying to answer from whom John borrowed his evidence on the Moors who served in army of Byzantine Emperor Heraclius (610–641). Based on this subject, the author is looking over a historiography tradition that John followed when describing the way of life and tribal organization of the Moors who lived west of the Nile Delta. Having compared the evidence of John of Nikiu and John of Antioch, a unique Greek-speaking author living in the 7th century and mentioned the presence of the Moors within Heraclius’ army, the author concludes that John of Nikiu used the testimonies of the prominent Byzantine 6th-century historian Procopius of Caesarea, an eyewitness to the reign of Emperor Justinian I (527–565). John of Nikiu read Procopius’ works, as he himself strictly says, and, respectively, thanks to Procopius, John knew well about the tribal behaviour and political structures of the Moors. According to the author, Procopius influenced John not only in subjects, but also in emotions: like Procopius, John of Nikiu declared a sharp negative assessment of the Moors’ behaviour and tribal life. The Coptic chronicler constantly labeled them as barbarians.
IN THE NAME OF THE STATUS QUO: THE U.S. AND THE PROBLEM OF KOREAN REUNIFICATION IN 1955–1966
Authors:   Vyatka State University, Sadakov D. A.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the U.S. approaches to the Korean question in the decade between the failure of the 1954 Geneva Conference, the entry into force of the U.S.–South Korea mutual defense treaty and the establishment of a new status quo in the region, and the beginning of the conflict in the Korean DMZ of 1966–1969. During this period, the Americans insisted that only the Republic of Korea, established in 1948 with the direct UN involvement, was the only legitimate regime on the peninsula. They allowed Korean unification only in the format of North Korea's accession to the Republic of Korea. The evolution of American policy in the region in the context of the change of political regimes in the south of the country and the transformation of North Korean tactics to restore the territorial unity of Korea are discussed. In general, during the period under review, the Americans quite effectively resisted the DPRK's attempts to put the issue of restoring Korean unity on the international agenda in a constructive way. The UN acted as a tool for legitimizing the U.S. military presence in the region, while the Korean Unification and Restoration Commission in fact merely broadcasted South Korea’s official point of view on events. On the other hand, the contradictions between real U.S. policy and Washington's articulated support for Korean unity discredited the American position in the eyes of the southerners. The Communists did not doze off, systematically working to strengthen their position in the UN. Under these circumstances, by the second half of the 1960s, the U.S. position on the Korean issue at the UN was in dire need of modernization.

Published: October 2023

Pnömoni, akciğer dokusunda ciddi iltihaplanmalara sebep olabilen akut alt solunum yolu hastalıklarından biridir. Pnömoni tanısı için en yaygın klinik yöntem göğüs röntgeni (CXR) olmakla beraber, CXR görüntülerinden pnömoni teşhisi, uzman radyologlar için bile zor bir iştir. Derin öğrenme tabanlı görüntü işlemenin, pnömoni’nin otomatik teşhisinde etkili olduğu literatürdeki çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada pnömoni ve sağlıklı CXR görüntülerini sınıflandırmak için derin öğrenmeye dayalı yaklaşımlar kullanılmıştır. Bu yaklaşımlar, derin öznitelik çıkarımı, önceden eğitilmiş evrişimli sinir ağlarının (ESA) ince ayarı ve geliştirilmiş bir ESA modelinin uçtan uca eğitimidir. Derin öznitelik çıkarımı ve transfer öğrenme için 10 farklı önceden eğitilmiş ESA modelleri (AlexNet, ResNet50, DenseNet201, VGG16, VGG19, DarkNet53, ShuffleNet, Squeezenet, NASNetMobile ve MobileNetV2) kullanılmıştır. Derin özniteliklerin sınıflandırılması için Destek Vektör Makineleri (DVM) sınıflandırıcısı kullanılmıştır. İnce ayarlı MobileNetV2 modelinin başarısı, elde edilen tüm sonuçlar arasında en yüksek olan %99,25 doğruluk puanı üretmiştir. AlexNet modelinden çıkarılan derin özniteliklerin 10 kat çapraz doğrulama test başarısı %97,8 bulunurken, geliştirilen 21 katmanlı ESA modelinin uçtan uca eğitimi %94,25 sonuç vermiştir. Bu çalışmada kullanılan veri seti, Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göğüs Hastalıkları ve Tüberküloz kliniği ile yoğun bakım ünitesinden ve göğüs polikliniğinden elde edilen pnömonili ve sağlıklı CXR görüntülerinden oluşmaktadır.

Published: October 2023

Eklemeli imalat, endüstriyel sektörde kullanımı günden güne hızla artan bir üretim teknolojisidir. Eriyik yığma modelleme (FDM) düşük maliyet ve tasarım avantajı ile karmaşık geometrilere sahip ürünlerin üretilmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılan bir eklemeli imalat yöntemidir. Bununla birlikte, FDM ile üretilmiş polimer ürünlerin ara yüzey yapışma mukavemetlerinin düşük olması bu yöntemin zayıf yönünü oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, FDM teknolojisi ile çalışan 3B yazıcıda polilaktik asit (PLA) filamentinin serilmesi esnasında peroksit takviye edilerek yeni bir kompozit malzeme üretimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. PLA katmanları arasına ince film olarak serilmiş olan peroksit ile polimerin çapraz bağlanmasını sağlayarak katmanlar arasındaki ara yüzey mukavemetinin artırılması amaçlanmıştır. Peroksit ile PLA polimerleri arasında kimyasal bir etkileşim olup olmadığını gözlemlemek için Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesi spektroskopisi (FTIR) cihazında analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Üretilen kompozit örneklerin mekanik özelliklerindeki değişimin gözlemlenebilmesi için çekme dayanım özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, çekme testi sonrasında kompozit numunelerin kopma yüzeyleri taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ile incelenmiştir. Deneysel sonuçlar, 3B yazıcıda üretilmiş kompozit numunelerde peroksit ile PLA polimerlerinin çapraz bağlanması ile kompozit bir malzemenin üretilebileceğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca çapraz bağlama sayesinde kompozit numunelerin fiberleri arasında ara yüzey mukavemetinin artırıldığı ve buna bağlı olarak mekanik özelliklerinin geliştiği gözlemlenmiştir.

Published: October 2023

This study examines the effect of science-based courses on student teachers' biophilia levels. Based on the quantitative research approach, this study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method. The sample of the study consists of 146 student teachers studying at the education faculty of a state university in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample group was conducted with student teachers who chose four different science-based courses and voluntarily participated in the study. The Biophilia Scale with 25 items was used as a data collection tool. The findings showed that the biophilia levels of the participants in all four courses showed significant differences in favor of the post-tests. The findings also showed that the "environmental science" course's scale scores significantly differed from the other courses. In other words, the biophilia levels of student teachers who attended environmental science courses increased less than in the other courses. When the increase in biophilia level of student teachers according to their genders is examined, no difference was observed. As a result of the findings, it was suggested that more activities should be included in science-based lessons to increase students' biophilia levels.

The data transmission process optimization problem in telecommunication network is considered by experimentally calculating resources spent on transmitting data from one point of the designed network to another. The network structure is designed based on the algorithm for placing network nodes, taking into account diffraction losses inside the urban area. The calculation of the resources spent on data transmission is carried out by bypassing the entire network structure using the modified Kosaraju algorithm. This process is carried out iteratively using simulation until it satisfies the given conditions. An algorithm is being developed that uses signal loss calculation models, as well as a network structure bypass algorithm to analyze the data transmission process, which allows designing a network model.

The use of modern multi-core and multi-processor computer systems for actual tasks is not effective enough, even taking into account the use of parallel programming technologies. The solution to the problem of efficient loading of computing resources can be the transition to computing models and architectures that are inherently parallel. One of such architectures is the Parallel Dataflow Computing System (PDCS) "Buran", which implements a dataflow computing model with a dynamically formed context. A feature of the dataflow computing model is the activation of computations by data readiness, which affects both the architecture of the computing system and the creation of programs for such systems. Differences between imperative and dataflow programming paradigms are also reflected in the route of creating a program, especially its parallel implementation. The route of creating a dataflow parallel program differs markedly from the traditional one. Already at the first stage, a parallel algorithm is created and implemented (including the algorithm for generating initial data). Next, this algorithm is debugged when it is executed on an emulator or model of the system with one computing core. After that, the selection and configuration of function of computation distribution is performed, the program is executed (without changing its code) on the emulator or model of the system with several computing cores, and, finally, the program is debugged in multi-core mode. These stages of the route differ from similar stages of the traditional route, both in form and in essence. Unlike traditional parallel, and even more so sequential programs, it can be said that a dataflow program in equal parts consists of a program code that implements a task, an algorithm for generating initial data, and a function of computation distribution. This thesis is demonstrated by the example of solving the problem of finding sum of array elements, where the difference between the implementations is in the algorithm for generating initial data, which radically affects the nature of the dataflow program passing. Careful attention to each of the parts of the dataflow program is the key to the correct and efficient solution of problems on the PDCS, which provides support to the programmer at the hardware level.

Enterprise architecture (EA) is a systematic approach used for designing and implementing changes in technological systems and processes to improve organizational performance and align technology with business. This paper unpacks the process through which EA moves from strategic-level endorsement to diffusion across organizations. The insights provided are based on a longitudinal case study within the Norwegian hospital sector. An institutional work lens is adopted to analyze the purposeful activities carried out to introduce EA in Norwegian hospitals providing a granular view on diffusion. The paper provides a rich description of the institutional work employed by the key actors involved mapping them to different turns in EA’s trajectory. Drawing from this analysis, we contribute to Information Systems literature with a conceptual model that illustrates how institutional work can mitigate the challenges of moving from the strategic-level endorsement of novelty to its diffusion and institutionalization smoothing downturns along the way. The findings indicate ways to facilitate the introduction of EA within complex organizations, providing insights for practitioners involved in EA initiatives, and advancing extant EA research through an institutional perspective.

The purpose of this paper is to share the author’s experience in developing and delivering a master’s level course on information systems and sustainable development. The paper highlights key considerations related to designing such a course, discusses the advantages and limitations of different approaches, and offers practical suggestions for IS faculty who seek to develop similar courses for their own programs.
Digital Socialization of Russian Adolescents: through the Prism of Comparison with Adolescents in 18 European Countries
Authors: Soldatova G.U. , Rasskazova E.I.
Published: October 2023

Objective. Identification of common and specific patterns of digital socialization of Russian adolescents aged 12-17, compared with data from other European countries.
Background. The development of adolescents aged 12-17 is largely taking place in the context of digital socialization. Understanding of this context, especially in comparison with other European countries, is important to identify the opportunities and risks of this socialization, as well as targets for assistance.
Study design. The study was exploratory and comparative.
Participants. 1380 Russian adolescents (648 aged 12-14 and 732 aged 15-17; including 644 boys and 736 girls) from 15 regions of Russia belonging to 8 Federal Districts were compared with data from 16048 teenagers aged 12-17 years from 18 European countries.
Measurements. Adolescents filled scales assessing user activity on weekends and weekdays, the variety of online activities, signs of excessive user activity, digital competence, as well as experience of online risks. Results. The average user activity of adolescents was 4-5 hours on weekdays and 6-8 hours on weekends. Compared to 18 other European countries, Russian adolescents had one of the highest levels of user activity on weekdays in Europe and wide range of the content of activities online, while signs of excessive user activity were rare. However, Russia w­as among the three countries with the lowest rates of digital competence of adolescents. Comparing to other countries, Russian adolescents were more likely to report negative experiences online (49,6% versus an average European frequency of 32,4%), as well as experience of information about ways of causing physical harm to themselves and content that promotes excessive weight loss. As in other European countries, about 50% of Russian adolescents have seen sexual images online and met online acquaintances in person during the past year.
Conclusions. A significant part of the socialization of modern adolescents takes place online and depends on their activities, opportunities and risks on the Internet. Relevant tasks for Russian adolescents are the development of digital competence, as well as the prevention of the most frequent online risks and learning to cope with them.

Pre-eclampsia and Ascites: A Case Report
Authors: Chakravarty Sharmistha
Published: October 2023

Pre-eclampsia is a life-threatening disorder with variable presentation. The condition is known to increase maternal morbidity and also contributes to significant proportion of maternal mortality. The pathophysiology of the syndrome is characterised by increased endothelial permeability and microvascular damage. But the presence of fluid in various body cavities is rarely seen in preeclampsia and the presence of the same is associated with increased maternal morbidity. This case was one in which the patient had fluid collection in multiple body cavities. The patient had no history of hypertension.

Alopecia is comorbid with several illnesses, including various autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disease. Leukocyte-mediated inflammation of hair follicles in alopecia was first described over a century ago. However, the high prevalence of the role of thyroid autoimmune disease in the pathogenesis of alopecia has only recently come to light, together with a strong association between the two. Therefore, this review focuses on articles published between 2011 and 2022 on alopecia's association with thyroid autoimmune disease, and the mechanism behind it. In addition, it highlights the link between alopecia and thyroid cancer, as patients with alopecia have increased risk of thyroid cancer. In conclusion, this comprehensive, focused, scoping review will serve as a reference highlighting recent information on alopecia, exploring its association with thyroid autoimmune diseases.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex multisystem, autoimmune disorder. The disease involves multiple inflammatory and immune pathways, posing several treatment challenges. The role of B cells in the pathogenesis and disease activity of SLE is well described, and treatments targeting B cells are now well established. Despite advances in therapeutics for SLE, the clinical course of SLE can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. For many individuals, the management of SLE requires lifelong immunosuppression. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is an emerging treatment for haematological malignancies that uses CAR T cells to target CD19+ B lymphocytes. CAR T cell therapy has shown promising results in murine models of SLE, and a case report and subsequent case series in people with SLE reporting drug-free remission following CAR T cell therapy against CD19+ B cells have recently been published. This review discusses CAR T cell therapy, comparing it with established B cell depletion therapies, such as rituximab, and exploring its safety, limitations and promise in the management of patients with SLE.
Convergence of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law in Armed Conflicts
Authors: Orzeszyna Krzysztof
Published: October 2023

The article concerns the convergence of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in armed conflicts. International humanitarian law and human rights law converge and permeate each other because both these disciplines of public international law are founded on natural law. Although international humanitarian law constitutes a lex specialis, the general rules on the interpretation of treaties clearly indicate that international human rights law must be interpreted in the context of other rules of international law, and its derogations, if any, must be compatible with other international obligations of the state, including with humanitarian law. Where a conflict arises between international humanitarian law and international human rights law, the mechanism for resolving conflicts between norms has been supplemented by the International Court of Justice by applying an interpretation based on the principle of systemic integration, resulting in the “humanization” of international humanitarian law. As regards the application of universal and regional instruments of international human rights law, we face a “humanization” of them. That is why more and more attention is paid in practice to the complementarity of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and this is confirmed in United Nations discussions and resolutions on the situation in armed conflicts.
Humanitarian diplomacy. Modern concepts and approaches
Authors: Bogatyreva O.
Published: October 2023

Modern trends in world development have significantly pushed the boundaries of modern diplomacy which should be an effective tool for global dialogue. My study is focused on the humanitarian sector of diplomacy. The article reviews main discussions about approaches to the concept of humanitarian diplomacy that arose against the background of the idea of "humanism 2.0", about the spread of the practice of humanitarian negotiations and about the creation of humanitarian spaces. I examine the main approaches of foreign and Russian researchers to the concepts of humanitarian diplomacy. Then I analyze the tools of humanitarian diplomacy and highlight its similarities and differences with traditional official diplomacy. It is established that nonState actors play an important political role in the resolution of modern conflicts and humanitarian negotiations. The role of the UN in creating a humanitarian partnership with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) is noted. I also pay attention to the humanitarian diplomacy of states and note the diversity of national models. The article considers the main motives that encourage states to participate in humanitarian diplomacy and highlights its main directions. I demonstrate shown that today humanitarian practice is acquiring a polymodal, complex character. It includes humanitarian assistance, social policy and economic assistance in the context of the paradigm of sustainable development. The study reveals that the use of diplomatic tools and, above all, negotiations have a positive impact on the effectiveness of humanitarian activities in armed conflicts and crisis situations of an anthropogenic and natural nature.
Exergoeconomic study of reheat combined cycle configurations using steam and ammonia-water mixture for bottoming cycle parameters
Authors: MAHESHWARI Mayank , SINGH Onkar
Published: October 2023

The use of combined cycle power plants though had led the pathway to maximize the fuel en-ergy utilization but the part-load operation of these plants is of concern. In this work, an exer-goeconomic comparison of 11 different reheat combined cycle arrangements hasbeen carried out under their part-load operations for varying bottoming cycle parametersnamely steam-bleedfraction, deaerator pressure,separator temperature, absorber pressure, and condenser pressure.The results depict that the absorber has the highest exergy destruction with second law efficiency of 23.55% at thepart load of 25% for the combined cycle power plant having high pressure drum with steam as working fluid and low pressure drum with ammonia-wa-ter as working fluid. The comparison also shows the highest cost of electricity production as 0.1243USD/kWh for the combined cycle power plant having ammonia-water as working fluid in bottoming cycle and operating at part load of 25%. While the minimum price of electricity produced is 0.05USD/kWh at 25% part load for CCPP having double pressure HRVG’s at condenser pressure of 0.09 bar.

The norms of the "R" value may not be extended for other regional populations because they are based on the South Indian population group. Therefore, the goal of the current study is to determine the mean value and standard deviation for R angle in a population of North Indian suburbs for subjects with horizontal, average, and vertical growth patterns, as well as to assess its correlation with other variables used to gauge vertical discrepancy.

The current cross-sectional study was carried out at the Swami Devi Dyal Dental College and Hospital, Barwala, Distt. Panchkula (Haryana), Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, among 90 participants between the ages of 18 and 26 years having their pretreatment records. The parameters used in the study are R angle, Frankfort Mandibular Angle, Y- axis (Down’s Analysis), Facial axis, SOP, SNO, SNPP, MMA. The ratios analyzed in the study are Jarabak Ratio, Facial index, LAFH ratio, skeletal, LAFH, Soft tissue.

The results of the study showed that high correlation was found between R angle and LAFH (Skeletal), Y Axis, Facial Axis, FMA, SNMP, Sum of posterior triangles (SOP), Maxillomandibular plane angle (MMA), SN to palatal plane angle (SNPP). A strong negative correlation was found between R angle and Jarabak ratio and facial index.

There are many cephalometric parameters accessible, however not all of them point towards a certain pattern. In an effort to get around the difficulty of correctly and quickly identifying landmarks, the "R" angle was added.

In the majority of the cases with typical supernumerary tooth, mesiodens are the most widespread finding and may give rise to a variety of clinical symptoms, including displacement and obstruction, in the emergence and alignment of the adjoining teeth. The best time to remove the mesiodens is still up for debate, but it is typically suggested if there are any clinical complications or aesthetic issues present. While some authors advise awaited intervention following the full root development of the nearby teeth, others advise a rapid approach. In the present case report, one such patient's esthetics and quality of life have been successfully improved.
