Published: September 2024

Research in agriculture is expanding. Specifically, crop prediction is important in agriculture and mostly depends on soil and environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and rainfall. Previously, farmers could choose the crop to be grown, track its development, and select when it was ready for harvest. However, the agricultural community finds it difficult to continue doing so in the modern day due to the quick changes in environmental circumstances. As a result, machine learning approaches have dominated prediction tasks in recent years. This study has employed many of these techniques to estimate agricultural production. In order to guarantee that a particular machine learning (ML) model operates with a high degree of accuracy, effective feature selection techniques must be used to transform the raw data into a dataset that is machine learning-friendly and readily computed. Only data characteristics that are very relevant in predicting the model's final output should be included, since this will cut down on redundancies and improve the accuracy of the ML model. In order to guarantee that only the most relevant characteristics are included in the model, the concept of optimum feature selection is created. Compiling all features from the raw data and then lumping them together without considering their significance to the modelbuilding process would make our model too complex. Moreover, adding characteristics that don't add much to the ML model will make it more complicated in terms of time and space, which would reduce the output accuracy of the model. The findings show that an ensemble method outperforms the current classification strategy in terms of prediction accuracy.
Functional neurological disorder and gut microbiome: Casual or causal relationship?
Authors: Borrego-Ruiz Alejandro , Borrego Juan J.
Published: September 2024

Functional neurological disorder (FND), or conversion disorder, is a psychosomatic condition that affects the voluntary motor and/or sensory functions of the patient. Its origin is not yet fully understood, but the main risk factors related to this disorder include exposure to recent psychological stressors and previous experience of aversive episodes during childhood, such as abuse, family dysfunction, and neglect. The symptoms of FND result from complex interactions involving the central nervous system and also the endocrine and immune systems. In this work, we hypothesized the relationship between the gut microbiome and the pathophysiology of FND because both share several common features, such as the effects of neurotransmitters, the hippocampal expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the inflammatory responses. Based on these common aspects, we suggested that stress, gut microbiome, and inflammation factors induce chronic and systemic inflammation of the brain causing neurological disorders, including FND. More specific studies are warranted to validate the casual or causal relationship between FND and the gut microbiome.

Published: September 2024

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and debilitating condition with diverse clinical presentations and etiologies. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the current literature on the clinical characteristics and diagnostic imaging findings associated with LBP, providing a comprehensive overview of this multifaceted condition. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted, encompassing studies published between 2018 and 2023. Studies reporting on clinical characteristics (pain location, duration, severity, radiation, associated symptoms) and diagnostic imaging findings (X-ray, CT, MRI) in LBP patients were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Twenty studies, with a total of 9,232 patients, were included. The most common clinical presentation was localized LBP (85%), followed by pain duration of less than 3 months (60%) and moderate pain severity (55%). Radicular pain and neurological deficits were reported in a significant minority of patients (20% and 15%, respectively). The most frequent imaging finding was degenerative changes (40-70%), followed by disc herniation (20-35%) and spondylolisthesis (5-12%). Other less frequent findings included spinal stenosis, compression fractures, and tumors. This review highlights the heterogeneity of clinical presentations and imaging findings in LBP. While localized LBP is predominant, a substantial proportion of patients experience radicular pain and neurological deficits. Degenerative changes are the most frequent imaging finding, followed by disc herniation. The choice of imaging modality should be guided by clinical presentation and suspected etiology.

Authors:   The Department Of Obstetrics And Gynecology №1, Assistant Samarkand State Medical University, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Enverovna Kurbaniyazova Venera
Published: September 2024

The number of caesarean sections around the world is increasing every year. This is influenced by the rapid development of modern medical science, the improvement of surgical techniques, the emergence of new suture materials and broad-spectrum antibiotics, pain relief, and the change in society's attitude to childbirth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), caesarean section (CS) is the most widely used operative method of childbirth today. Determining the role of CS practice in the search for ways to reduce perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality is essential. In some cases, this method of delivery is the only way to reduce maternal mortality: premature separation of the normally located placenta and the appearance of signs of its partial separation, severe hypertensive conditions, including a severe degree of preeclampsia and eclampsia, somatic complications that lead to complications in the mother's natural delivery pathologies.

International experience of partnership of private companies and special services in the interests of national security and its significance for Ukraine
Authors: KUDINOV S.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to topical issues of national security. Its purpose is to justify the need to review approaches to the partnership of special services of Ukraine and private companies. The current state of threats to national security from the aggressor country is characterized within the scope of scientific research. Attention was drawn to the fact that after the attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, there were changes in the security paradigm and approaches to national security and the world system as a whole, and the need, in this connection, to find additional resources to counter the Russian Federation, to develop new effective models of organizing the activities of national special services by involving the potential and resources of non-state institutions in this activity. It was established that the effective partnership of special services and private enterprises in the interests of national security is a stable international practice, and in some cases, the only means of increasing the effectiveness of special services in conditions of  shortage of personnel and resources,  which  meets  the requirements of international and national legislation.  The international experience of such a partnership is characterized using the examples of the “Griffin”, “ECSA – CERBERUS”, “ProtectUK” projects, as well as the activities of private intelligence and security companies. Prospective directions for strengthening the capabilities of Ukraine’s special services through partnership with private enterprises and their security structures are highlighted, including: creation of security platforms (educational and informational and communicative in nature); obtaining operationally significant information in the interests of ensuring state security both in the country and abroad, including its processing; assistance in the use of existing and development of new software products for the search and identification of persons who pose a threat to the state security of Ukraine, the recording of their criminal activities, etc.; carrying out analytical studies, summarizing a large array of data in the interests of national security; personnel training for work in modern conditions, including using the latest technologies. The need for clear legal regulation of the rights and obligations of the parties to such a partnership is emphasized.
Legal regulation of inventions, utility models in Ukraine and the EU
Authors: KHOMENKO I.
Published: September 2024

The author considered the legal regulation of inventions and utility models in Ukraine and European experience. The legislation of Ukraine by year regarding inventions, useful models and the experience of solving issues in this field of some European countries was analyzed by year . The importance of gaining experience for development of a more predictable policy in the field of intellectual property and harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with international legal norms as well as adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the EU legislation were determined. The importance of working with intangible assets, in particular, in the conditions of russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, was determined, as far as it is a proven way to ensure economic growth and stability. Intangible assets include the results of research and development works, in particular, inventions, useful models, etc. Intangible assets, invisible to a non-specialist, can help to improve economic prospects, create higher-paying jobs and improve product quality as well. On the basis of the study of legislation in the field of intellectual property in Ukraine and the EU, there were identified some issues, that require deeper study and quick resolution needed for the development of Ukrainian economy. Namely, shortening the terms of examination of inventions and useful models, finding new ways to increase the motivation of authors to create inventions and useful models. During the research, it was found that a patent for a utility model can provide advantages to its owner on the market for a short time, since after 2-3 years, when a patent for an invention can be obtained, the product under the patent will no longer find demand and will not allow the manufacturer to return the investments, spent on its development and promotion to the market. Therefore, in order to preserve some branches of industry in Ukraine, it is proposed to leave the object of a useful model, the legal protection of which is provided – it can be a substance. This will save, for example, the chemical and oil refining industries in Ukraine.

This article discusses flow-deflecting technologies as a method of increasing oil recovery based on the injection of limited volumes of special reagents into injection wells. This technology allows you to: reduce the permeability of highly permeable layers of the formation; align the well intake along the formation section; create a more uniform displacement front; reduce water breakthroughs to the producing well. Flow-deflecting technologies are used at the final stage of field development or in solving problems related to repair and insulation work. Also in this article, an analysis of the effectiveness of flow-deflecting technologies using various polymers is carried out. The results of experimental and field studies of three new technologies based on the use of a chemical agent, for example, POLY-T-101, hydrophobic emulsions and gel-acid compositions are presented during work on limiting water flows and redistributing the directions of filtration flows in terrigenous carbonate reservoirs at reservoir temperatures from 20 to 1000 C. The issues of the mechanism of action of chemical reagents on productive deposits and prospects for the application of the developed technologies at problematic oil field facilities are considered. The results of field tests are presented.

Oil and gas resources are a non-renewable type of raw material, as a result of which we can talk about their exhaustibility and limitation. The reserves explored so far are limited in volume, many de-posits are at the stage of depletion, which predetermines the need for their careful and rational re-source-saving use. The problems of integrated and rational use of natural resources in order to in-crease their efficiency and reduce the burden on the environment have acquired particular significance in environmental and economic development. Today, contradictions have arisen between limited re-source capabilities and the growing needs of society. Extracted resources are used with low utility. The remaining part is waste, which occupies significant areas; participate in the process of alienation of highly fertile lands; Due to the content of toxic compounds, they cause irreparable harm to the envi-ronment and human health. Industrial production at the present stage is developing at an accelerated pace, as a result of which the need for raw materials is constantly increasing. In conditions of resource limitations of non-renewable raw materials, which include hydrocarbons, there is an urgent need for their rational use. Taking into account the non-renewable and multi-component composition of oil and gas resources, it is necessary to focus on its rational use, aimed at the complete, economically justified extraction of all valuable components contained in it, as well as the use of recyclable materials and production waste, i.e. resource saving. All these aspects directly affect the minimization of environmental risks. The article substantiates the feasibility of the integrated use of hydrocarbon resources in the pro-cess of further development of the domestic oil and gas complex in order to increase its competitive-ness. The authors propose ways to develop petrochemical production that can produce a wide range of commercial products with high added value. The article substantiates the position that with the devel-opment of the petrochemical industry, the oil and gas complex of the republic will acquire the neces-sary stability and will be able to become not only a leading, but also a knowledge-intensive sector of the domestic economy.

At present, gasoline occupies one of the leading places among primary energy sources. The need of mankind in it, in its high quality, is greater than in any other fraction of hydrocarbons. Therefore, very high requirements are made to the operational properties of automobile gasoline, and the problem of improving the quality of gasoline is one of the urgent problems of the chemical industry. Modern vehicles require fuel with a high-octane number with properties preventing detonation and having octane numbers of 92, 95 and 98 for engines. High anti-detonation performance can be achieved through complex gasoline processing using catalytic cracking, isomerization and alkylation methods or by adding special high-octane additives to fuel. The world's leading trend in improving the environmental and performance characteristics of motor gasoline is the use of multifunctional additives, in particular oxygenates – compounds containing oxygen (such as alcohols, ketones, esters and others). The use of oxygen-containing components (oxygenates) is one of the promising ways to produce high-octane gasoline. Currently, in industrialized countries, oxygenates are actively used as a preferred substitute for organometallic anti-detonation additives and components of high-octane gasoline. In the presented work the properties of a new oxygenate - dimethyl ethynylcarbinol (DMEC), as an additive that increases the octane number of gasoline, are investigated. The study of the effect of oxygenates as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and DMEK on increasing the octane number of reforming gasoline showed that the increase in the octane number of gasoline when adding DMEK and binary additive is higher than when adding MTBE. According to the results of research, tertiary acetylene alcohol - DMEK can be offered as an oxygen-containing additive for automobile gasoline. The use of DMEK allows to expand the resources of high-octane components, reduce the toxicity of gasoline and exhaust gases, increase the production of high-quality commercial gasoline for automotive engines.

At present, the impact of the decarbonization trend on the oil and gas industry is becoming more and more tangible. One of the promising approaches to carbon dioxide utilization is the technology of its injection into the productive formation for enhanced oil recovery. The projects realized in the world have shown the efficiency of liquefied carbon dioxide application as a solvent for wells, which leads to increase of hydrocarbon flow rate due to various mechanisms. CO2 injection has been proven to reduce the interfacial tension at the hydrocarbon-water interface and improve water wettability of the rock, converting it from a film state to a droplet state. However, when implementing this approach, it is worth paying attention to the study of formation parameters such as saturation and capillary forces. In this paper, the capillarometry principle is considered to calculate the water saturation parameter of a complex reservoir type with low filtration properties. The study is to evaluate an effective approach to study the estimated residual water saturation under complex pore space geometry and possible pore hydrophilicity disturbance. The practical interest of this work is to increase the study of reservoir properties at the pore level for prediction of its physical and chemical properties in the modeling of composite dynamic model for solving topical issues in reservoir development.

development and features of the formation of the sedimentary complex of the south of the Caspian sedimentary basin are presented. The complex geological structure of the region is mainly due to the influence of tectonic, volcanic and denudation processes on sedimentation. The introduction of terrigenous material deep into the sedimentary basin (Matken-Ushmolinsk, Biikzhal and South Embin zones) by paleorubic flows contributed to the emergence of accumulative shafts and interbranch uplifts composed mainly of clay rocks with alternating siltstone-sandstones. In the paleorusls themselves, coarser sediments were deposited – gravelites and sandstones. The reconstruction of the conditions of formation of sand bodies made it possible to predict their facies composition, morphology and identify patterns of spatial placement, and are also of great interest in the search for oil and gas deposits in deep-lying lithological traps. The prospects of these structures and their resource potential are evidenced by the world experience in identifying large deposits of hydrocarbon raw materials. This is a new highly promising direction of large accumulations of hydrocarbons for the Caspian Basin. The results of drilling deep wells conducted in recent years have made it possible to refine the internal structure, substantiate new facilities in the Late Paleozoic sedimentary complex, and reassess the prospects of oil and gas potential and forecast oil and gas resources of the south of the Caspian Basin.

Published: September 2024

The article examines the geological structure and oil and gas prospects of the pre-salt complex in the eastern Precaspian Basin (PB). Based on the synthesis and comprehensive analysis of geological exploration (GE) results and the analysis of geological-geochemical criteria for hydrocarbon potential, the oil and gas geological zoning has been updated, and effective directions for GE have been identified. The justification of a new hydrocarbon resources base within the eastern PB margin can be ensured by further investigating of the deeply buried Devonian-Middle Carboniferous horizons in the known petroleum plays, as well as within the less explored Sakmar-Kokpektinsky segment of the Ural fold-and-thrust belt. Within the productive KT-I and KT-II formations, there is an unrealized hydrocarbon potential at depths of 5-6 km. Using the example of the Bozoba West area, the oil and gas prospects of the Visean-Bashkirian and Lower Permian strata are examined, highlighting the significance of faults as elements of the hydrocarbon system. The applied set of 3D seismic survey data and deep drilling allowed for the interpretation of deep seismic sections, up to depths of 7.0-7.5 km. The Middle-Upper Devonian strata are considered prospective but have not been extensively explored by deep drilling. To establish a new hydrocarbon resource base within the eastern Precaspian Basin margin, it is recommended to conduct advanced regional seismic surveys and parametric exploration drilling.

This paper addresses the challenges faced in the CO2 sequestration research project in Kazakhstan due to the limited availability and substandard quality of core samples. It underscores the necessity for using sandstone analogs to ensure reliable and consistent test outcomes, especially in measuring the rock's deformation and failure strength. The paper details the efforts made to create synthetic sandstone samples that closely resemble the original reservoir sandstones in particle size, cement content, mineral composition, and porosity. The study found that metakaolin forms a weak cement bond and that kaolin fully converts to metakaolin at 500°C, but not at 200°C. Additionally, the shear strength of sandstone samples depends on the particle size, mineralogy, and clay content. Furthermore, it explores the triaxial test responses of both the reservoir sand and the synthetic sandstone samples.

The problem of recycling worn-out tires and recycling of solid carbon-containing residue from the pyrolysis of tires is considered. The possibility of processing carbon black from the pyrolysis of tires into a high-quality concentrate, which can serve as a raw material for modifying petroleum bitumen, has been shown. The nature of the interactions occurring between the components of carbon black and the matrix of petroleum road bitumens has been studied. The chemical interaction of carbon black with the bitumen matrix through unsaturated C=C bonds has been proven. The introduction of carbon black as a modifying additive leads to a significant change in the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of the resulting bitumen binder systems. Based on spectrometric studies, an assessment is made of the structural changes occurring in the original and modified bitumen during the production of modified bitumen binders. It has been established that with such modification, diffusion of aromatic hydrocarbons occurs from the bitumen component into the modifier particles. During the modification process, six-membered cyclic aromatic compounds are formed in the bitumen part, the composition of paraffin-naphthenic hydrocarbons changes, and sulfur compounds are formed that “transfer” from the modifier particles to the bitumen. Thus, in this study, the phenomenon of mutual diffusion between bitumen and CBWT modifier was confirmed using IR spectroscopy.

Homotopy Perturbation Method for Semi-Bounded Solution of the System of Cauchy-Type Singular Integral Equations of the First Kind
Authors: Mamatova Husnida , Eshkuvatov Zainidin , Ismail Shahrina
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we introduce the standard Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) for obtaining semi-bounded solutions of the first kind of system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations (CSIEs) with constant coefficients. We use the Gauss elimination technique to reduce the system of CSIEs to a diagonal triangle system of algebraic equations. We then apply the HPM to solve the resulting equations. By applying the theory of semi-bounded solutions of CSIEs, we can determine the inverse operators for the first kind of CSIEs. We demonstrate that the proposed method is exact for the system of characteristic SIEs, regardless of the choice of initial guesses (in the Holder class of functions). To illustrate the validity and accuracy of our proposed method, we supply and analyse three examples. We compare the results obtained using our method with those obtained using the Chebyshev collocation and Galerkin methods. Our method includes the ability to solve the complex-valued system of CSIEs. Based on the numerical results, we conclude that the HPM is more dominant than the other methods.

In the 21st century, the working environment is changing rapidly, and competition is fierce. In industries such as airlines, it is crucial to identify the factors that drive employee performance. This study aims to determine the elements of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) that have an impact on work performance. A mixed research method was employed for the study, which collected survey data from 195 employees of ground service companies in Vietnam, including Saigon Ground Service Company (Sags), Vietnam Airport Ground Service Company (Viags), and Hanoi Ground Service Joint Stock Company (Hgs). The results revealed that five factors of OCBs affect job performance, ranked in descending order: (1) Voice-speaking up about concerns, (2) civic virtue, (3) conscientiousness, (4) courtesy, and (5) altruism. The study also proposed some implications for managers of ground service companies to enhance their employees’ job performance.
Triton’s Captured Youth: Tidal Heating Kept Triton Warm and Active for Billions of Years
Authors: Hammond N. P. , Collins G. C.
Published: September 2024

Neptune’s moon Triton has two remarkable attributes: its retrograde orbit suggests that it was captured from the Kuiper Belt, and Triton has one of the youngest surfaces of all the icy satellites in the solar system. Soon after capture, Triton experienced strong diurnal tides raised by Neptune, which caused intense deformation, heating, and melting of its ice shell as its highly eccentric initial orbit was circularized. While previous studies have suggested that Triton’s orbit would have circularized early in solar system history, we show that internal feedbacks between tidal heating and ice shell melting significantly reduce the orbital evolution rate, causing strong tidal heating to persist for billions of years. We simulate Triton’s post-capture evolution over a range of initial semimajor axes and ice shell properties. We find that Triton’s ice shell would have been extremely thin (1–10 km) for a period of 1–4 billion years, with tidal stresses strong enough to fracture the entire ice shell down to the subsurface ocean. A final phase of intense geologic activity may have occurred after tidal dissipation waned, in which late-stage ice shell thickening caused ocean pressurization potentially sufficient to refracture the ice shell and push water to the surface. Such overpressurization could have caused recent massive cryovolcanic resurfacing, perhaps explaining Triton’s geologically young surface. It is therefore possible that Triton’s youthful surface and its origin as a captured satellite may in fact be related. A long-lived subsurface ocean and extended thin ice shell period also greatly increase Triton’s astrobiological potential.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic implications of regional nodal irradiation (RNI) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with residual triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).Materials and Methods: We analyzed 152 patients with residual TNBC who underwent breast-conserving surgery after NAC between December 2008 and December 2017. Most patients (n = 133; 87.5%) received taxane-based chemotherapy. Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) was administered at a total dose of 45–65 Gy in 15–30 fractions to the whole breast, with some patients also receiving RT to regional nodes. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method, and prognostic factors influencing survival were analyzed using the Cox proportional-hazards model.Results: During a median follow-up of 66 months (range, 9 to 179 months), the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 68.0%. The 5-year locoregional recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and overall survival rates were 83.6%, 72.6%, and 78.7%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the cN stage, ypT stage, ypN stage, axillary operation type, and RT field were associated with DFS. Multivariate analysis revealed that higher ypT stage (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00–3.82; p = 0.049) and ypN stage (HR = 4.7; 95% CI 1.57–14.24; p = 0.006) were associated with inferior DFS. Among clinically node-positive patients, those who received RT to the breast only had a 5-year DFS of 73.7%, whereas those who received RNI achieved a DFS of 59.6% (p = 0.164). There were no differences between the DFS and RNI.Conclusion: In patients with residual TNBC, higher ypT and ypN stages were associated with poorer outcomes after NAC. RNI did not appear to improve DFS. More intensive treatments incorporating systemic therapy and RT should be considered for these patients.

Published: September 2024

Three new species of Isodon (Lamiaceae) from China are described and illustrated, based on both morphological evidence and our recent phylogenomic studies of the genus. Isodon attenuatus, a herbaceous new species known only from the Fanjing Mountain, is shown to be sister to I. villosus, but they can be easily distinguished by leaf and inflorescence indumentum, calyx teeth shape and corolla tube morphology. Isodon gongshanensis, a herbaceous new species collected from the Hengduan Mountains in southwest China, represents a distinct lineage within the genus. Isodon sukungii, a shrubby new species also endemic to the Hengduan Mountains, was previously misidentified as I. tenuifolius, but they are phylogenetically distantly related and differ in lamina size and margin, inflorescence type and corolla length and shape.
L’ Ekphrasis opératoire : l’effondrement de la distinction texte/image dans l’intelligence artificielle multimodale
Authors: Marand Carla , Bajohr Hannes
Published: September 2024

Le domaine numérique déploie ce que l’on pourrait appeler une ekphrasis opérationnelle : les textes n’y représentent pas des images, mais les exécutent en les mettant en œuvre de manière informatique. Correspondant à deux approches différentes, l’une connexionniste, l’autre séquentielle, deux types distincts d’ ekphrasis opératives, impliquant deux notions distinctes du langage peuvent être dégagées : l’une mettant l’accent sur une dimension pragmatique, l’autre sur une dimension sémantique.
O ensino secundário no governo Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-1961)
Authors: Toledo Padilha Caio Augusto
Published: September 2024

Este trabalho consiste em oferecer uma análise de cunho sócio-histórico da atuação do governo Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-1961) na área educacional, mais especificamente no âmbito do ensino secundário. A hipótese trabalhada é a de que essa modalidade era contestada à época por setores da sociedade e da comunidade educacional devido ao fato de não atender às necessidades geradas pelo processo de desenvolvimento, cabendo ao então governo o propósito de conduzir sua reformulação sem o esperado êxito. Para testá-la, procedemos a um trabalho de análise crítica e sistemática de fontes primárias e secundárias, com vistas a identificar o que foi idealizado e o que foi realizado pelo governo Kubitschek no âmbito do ensino secundário e se houve atendimento aos apelos reformadores de então.
El recurso de casación civil en Colombia: entre el principio dispositivo y la facultad oficiosa
Authors: Cadena Afanador Walter René , Lozano Rico Aída Victoria
Published: September 2024

A partir de la vigencia del Código General del Proceso se ha debatido acerca de la posible existencia de una contradicción normativa entre el principio dispositivo, como rasgo característico del recurso de casación civil, y la facultad otorgada a la Corte Suprema de Justicia, para casar de oficio las sentencias que, de manera ostensible, vulneren derechos y garantías constitucionales. Este trabajo describe el origen histórico, constitucional y legal del recurso de casación civil, como institución moderna, con especial énfasis en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano, en el marco del Estado social de derecho. El trabajo aborda este problema desde una perspectiva dogmática que incluye el análisis histórico, doctrinal y jurisprudencial del recurso de casación civil, para establecer que esa institución jurídica es de origen constitucional y que, por lo tanto, una de sus finalidades esenciales es la protección de los derechos y las garantías constitucionales.

Authors: Schiocchet Taysa , Silvino Paris Mariana , Ferreira Tidre Juliane
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar a atuação das clínicas de direitos humanos em litigância estratégica de modo a identificar os aportes pedagógicos ao ensino do Direito no Brasil. O objeto de análise são as contribuições argumentativas oferecidas pelas clínicas na Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (ADPF) 442, no Supremo Tribunal Federal, que discute a descriminalização do aborto até a 12ª semana de gestação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, com objetivo descritivo, de cunho jurídico-social, amparada nas técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com foco no estudo de caso da ADPF 442, a partir das manifestações escritas (pedidos de habilitação e memoriais) e exposições orais na audiência pública apresentadas por cinco clínicas de direitos humanos. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que a atuação em litigância estratégica das referidas clínicas na ADPF 442 é caracterizada por inovações, porém parciais e não disruptivas, em relação ao modelo tradicional de ensino do direito, sobretudo no que tange à abordagem inclusiva que favorece a diversidade, bem como a atuação conjunta com outras organizações sociais de base.
The Role of Positive Psychology in Promoting Student Well-Being

Published: September 2024

The well-being of students is a topic of paramount importance in the field of education and psychology. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need to focus not only on academic achievement but also on the emotional and psychological well-being of students (Leow et al., 2023; Lo et al., 2022). Over the course of the past decade, the impetus for preventive interventions to respond to mental health problems has been reinforced by epidemiological research that showed excessive levels of mental health conditions among children and youth (Samji et al., 2022). Positive psychology, a relatively new branch of psychology, offers a valuable framework for understanding and promoting the well-being of students. This chapter will summarize key findings and concepts, focusing on the following five areas: 1) the role of positive psychology, 2) theories in positive psychology, 3) understanding student's well-being, 4) two case studies on positive education at a British (UK) university in Malaysia, and 5) positive psychology intervention to promote student's well-being.
