Empowering Future Educators: Leveraging Openness by Design when Integrating Technology in Teacher Education Programs
Authors: Paskevicius Michael
Published: September 2023

Teacher educators who design and teach educational technology courses have an important role to play in developing thoughtful approaches to using educational technology in teaching and learning through the development of digital literacies that make use of accessible, meaningful, and pedagogically appropriate technology. Several researchers have argued that K-12 teachers are well suited to both adopt and develop aspects of open education by growing awareness of open educational resources and practices. This paper aims to articulate the potential, gaps, and opportunities for teacher educator programs to bring aspects of open education into teacher training. Based upon a small survey with students in a teacher education program in British Columbia Canada, gaps in knowledge among teacher candidates are identified and reflections from participants provides motivation to consider how open educational resources and practices might be further integrated into teacher education programs. Kahle’s (2008) design philosophy approach is recommended and discussed based on the results with a focus on using technology to prioritize openness that aligns well to prominent themes in teacher education programs.

Authors:   Medical Student Faculty of Medicine Brawijaya University, Malang, Indonesia, Wirawan Marcelino Giovanni
Published: September 2023

Introduction – Since first appearing in Wuhan at the end of 2019, the corona virus has caused many losses in various aspects of human life. Starting from the physical-psychological aspect of health and socio-economic. Even now, the new policies adopted by the government also have a huge impact on people's daily habits. One of them is affecting a person's psychology, where the news about COVID-19 has been very developed, causing anxiety and fear among the community. With the many stressors that have emerged in this pandemic era, a person is required to have good coping skills to be able to cope with dangerous stimuli. For someone who has a bad coping skills, he will experience excessive fear and anxiety about the corona virus which is called coronaphobia. Methods – The author makes a review of 20 journals and 2 books discussing definitions, risk factors, psychodynamics, coping mechanisms and management of new phobias in this pandemic era. Results – From several literature reviews, the factors identified in this pandemic era were unforeseen reality, unending uncertainties, need of acquiring new practices and avoidance behavior, loss of faith in health infrastructure, contraction of COVID-19 by head of states, cautionary statements from international bodies, and infodemia. Discuss – Several identified factors factors are assumed to cause interference with routine life, catastrophizing interpretation of benign symptoms, and social amplification of risk which lead to coronaphobia. This requires a person to have a good coping mechanism to adapt to new habits of coexistence with this virus. If the coping mechanism of a person is bad, then the stressor will experience a psychosocial process causing a phobia against COVID-19 which is called coronaphobia. Conclusion – Coronaphobia is excessive fear and anxiety due to the various effects of the corona virus, be it related to thoughts, information or the illness it causes. This new phobia is caused by the emergence of several risk factors in this pandemic era, which undergo some psychosocial process. Individuals who use maladaptive coping mechanisms are more likely to engage in risky behavior and experience health problems than those with adaptive mechanisms. Therefore, a good coping strategy is needed to avoid the occurrence of psychological problems such as coronaphobia that often arise during this pandemics. Keywords: coronaphobia, COVID-19, psychodynamic, coping mechanism, fear.

Published: September 2023

Over the course of the last two decades, Vietnam has demonstrated a growing interest in public-private partnership (PPP) investments within the domain of road transport infrastructure. However, the overall success rate of these endeavors has remained constrained and, in fact, has displayed a propensity for decline. Understanding the primary determinants behind this phenomenon, particularly the internal factors within the management system, has been a perplexing and protracted process, hindering the development of viable solutions. This research employs a qualitative analysis approach, leveraging in-depth interviews conducted with 250 road traffic infrastructure PPP project managers and experts. The objective is to discern the factors that exert influence over the investment attractiveness of build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects in the vital Southern Key Economic Zone of Vietnam. Subsequently, utilizing the collated data, this study employs a quantitative methodology to measure the impact of these factors via a derived multivariate regression equation. The findings reveal the existence of five distinct groups of factors that affect the investment attractiveness of BOT projects in the Southern Key Economic Zone, classified by their respective levels of influence. These groups encompass factors relating to the role of the state, the legal framework, human resources engagement in PPP ventures, supportive financial instruments, and the allocation of risk. Notably, these outcomes align with previous research efforts, further substantiating the robustness and reliability of the findings presented within this study.

La enfermedad diarreica aguda (EDA) es una de las enfermedades con alta mortalidad en pacientes pediátricos se caracteriza por un inicio brusco de signos en el que se destaca diarrea, flatulencias, incluyendo nauseas, emesis, elevación de la temperatura, abdominoalgia entre otras, debido a una infección del aparato gastrointestinal ocasionado por agentes infecciosos patógenos. Esta enfermedad actualmente es uno de los mayores problemas en la salud pública de los países en vías de desarrollo, por su alta repercusión de morbilidad y mortalidad durante la etapa pediátrica, debido a la carencia de ensayos para la detección del agente infeccioso. Se ha reportado que E. coli es uno de los agentes más frecuentes asociada a esta enfermedad, ya que puede encontrarse en varios alimentos contaminados contribuyendo la infección al huésped susceptible. Esta patología al momento es catalogada como autolimitada, considerándose que, en casi la totalidad de los casos será exclusivamente necesario la realización de una historia clínica pediátrica, donde se encuentre todos los acápites necesarios, para posteriormente realizar un examen físico exhaustivo. Es por ello que es necesario abordar más sobre su etiología, mecanismos de transmisión, el manejo y prevención del agente patógeno y principalmente el tratamiento farmacológico de la patología.

Published: September 2023

Blitar Regency has a wholesale market managed by the Wlingi Market Association, but some horticultural products from the farmers are still absorbed by the wholesale market outside Blitar Regency and reabsorbed by the retailers from Blitar Regency. Objectives of the research were to obtain information about the superior products, supply chain, and the inhibiting factors on the development of the horticultural products. Method of the research used descriptive analysis on each member of the links. Location of the research is the wholesale market in Blitar Regency, Wlingi. Variables of the research include types, volumes, and circulation of the horticultural products. Results of the research showed 3 major horticultural commodities that include chili, red pepper, and watermelon. The potential agricultural products in Blitar Regency have inefficient and complex supply chain because they involve many actors from farmers to consumers. The inhibiting factors are as follow: 1. The farmers do not have a collective system for marketing their crops so that information about the products as well as the prices are not integrated, 2. The supply chain patterns are inefficient and complex, so that the prices are costly, and 3. Inadequate location of the wholesale market. It is expected that the approach of supply chain on horticultural commodities in Blitar Regency will provide an overview of potential commodity supply availability as a consideration for supply chain management.
Ciudadanía planetaria: una propuesta de formación situada y contextualizada en la escuela
Authors: Badel Gómez Milton Fabian
Published: September 2023

Desde la Antigüedad y durante mucho tiempo la ciudadanía ha estado ligada a la pertenencia a un Estado-nación limitando su implicancia en las diná-micas humanas actuales; no obstante, las múltiples pro-blemáticas económicas, políticas, ambientales, sociales, las grandes movilizaciones de personas y los procesos de globalización que vivencia la humanidad hoy día, obligan a contemplar una nueva perspectiva de esta. Una ciudadanía que sea planetaria, que permita tanto el reconocimiento como la aceptación de las diferencias, que posibilite la coexistencia y el diálogo de la diversidad; para lo cual se requieren procesos de formación desde una perspectiva global e intercultural, que abran las puertas a la inclusión, la interacción enriquecedora de singularidades, así como el fortalecimiento del tejido social. Con esta investigación la cual se asume desde el paradigma socio-crítico del enfoque cualitativo, cuyo principal objetivo se encaminó a resignificar la formación ciudadana desde la construcción colectiva de una propuesta educativa situada y contextualizada en la escuela orientada al logro de ciudadanía planetaria en los estudiantes, se logró con la implementación de técnicas e instrumentos propios de la Investigación Acción Educativa, recolectar información, que permitió determinar dentro de los principales hallazgos, que la institución educativa no asume el liderazgo que le es inherente en los procesos de ciudadanización y transformación social, teniendo poco impacto en el desarrollo de cualquier tipo de ciudadanía, de igual forma se encontró que los docentes presentan falencias respecto a la formación ciudadana lo que conlleva que no sean capaces de implementar prácticas pedagógicas que favorezcan la estructuración de una conciencia ciudadana por parte de los estudiantes. Con todo esto se concluye de forma general que se requiere en la ins-titución una educación sólida, que sea integral, que apunte a superar el reto de formar ciudadanos, que mire más allá de simple reproducción de aprendizajes, para lo que es necesario generar cambios en el currículo y en la prácticas pedagógicas, orientados a la adquisición de identidad personal y al desarrollo de conciencia ciu-dadana planetaria.

Authors: Fernández De La Oz Melissa Aurora , Armas Jessica , Segura Mabel , Sánchez-Vincitore Laura V
Published: September 2023

Los niveles de autonomía y bienestar de una persona en la adultez se pueden ver afectados por el tipo de crianza experimentada durante la infancia. El objetivo del presente estudio es investigar la relación entre la autonomía, la parentalidad percibida y el bienestar subjetivo en la juventud dominicana. Para obtener los datos, 138 adultos jóvenes dominicanos entre los 18 y 29 años participaron contestando tres cuestionarios: Escala de Parentalidad Percibida (EPP), Escala de Autonomía de Worthington (WAS) y, por último, Escala de bienestar subjetivo BBC (BBC-SWB). Los participantes que percibieron mayor apoyo a sus necesidades por parte de las figuras parentales reportaron menores niveles de dependencia del sis-tema familiar, menor necesidad de aprobación y más capacidad de actuar con libertad, asimismo, reportaron mayores niveles de satisfacción general en sus vidas. Se encontró que aquellos que percibieron mayor control de comportamiento por parte de la figura parental principal, experimentaron mayor dependencia del sis-tema familiar. No se encontró relación significativa entre el control que ejerce la figura parental principal con que tan autónomo será el adulto joven en lo emocional, conductual y sus valores, tampoco con qué tan satisfecho estará con su vida. No se encontró rela-ción entre el control de la figura parental secundaria con ninguna de estas variables. Este estudio demostró que existe una relación entre la autonomía y el bienestar, indicando que mientras más autónoma se considere una persona, más complacida en general se sentirá con su vida. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que la parentalidad juega un rol en algunos aspectos de la autonomía, sin embargo, esta puede estar configurada por otras variables fuera del marco familiar.

Published: September 2023

The paper highlights the main aspects of designing safety supply chains for grain cargoes and other agricultural commodity delivery. The study's relevance is caused by the fact that periodic port blockades do not allow Ukraine to carry out reliable exports of agricultural products along classical routes. Therefore, there was a need to find new alternatives for exporting agricultural commodities, primarily grain. The study aims to substantiate, describe, structure, and mathematically formalize proposed delivery options and choose the best. The research justifies picking supply chains using automobile and railway transport from Ukraine to the European Union countries. According to three proposed technologies, grain cargoes are exported in batches using containers. The advisability is justified for using each considered delivery option regarding technological aspects. Mathematical modeling, particularly regression analysis, is used to design supply chains. In this case, selecting the best technology is confirmed by corresponding calculations according to designed regression models. The presented option for supplying agricultural commodities is the safest and most reliable but more expensive. However, such logistics will be an excellent solution to reduce the negative consequences of a possible food crisis for the global economy.
Current state and improvement prospects of warehouse workers health and safety practices in Bulgarian manufacturing and trading organizations
Authors: Stefanov Miroslav
Published: September 2023

Occupational health and safety (OHS) of warehouse workers is a crucial issue for warehouse managers. The importance of OHS practices has increased over recent years due both to high levels of fatal accidents in the logistics industry, and chronic shortage of labor in the sector, which requires systematic efforts to reduce absenteeism and increase warehouse employee motivation. This article aims to address the current state of some fundamental OHS practices of warehouse workers in Bulgarian manufacturing and trading organizations, and to outline some recommendations for their future improvements. The data were collected using the questionnaire survey method among 91 manufacturing and trading organizations in Bulgaria, which operate warehouses, and were processed using Chi-square analysis. The results show that the share of trading organizations, which implement OHS practices is lower, in comparison with surveyed manufacturing organizations. In addition, small organizations lag behind medium and large regarding the use of fundamental measures to protect warehouse workers. The main research findings indicate that there is a need to expand the frequency of OHS practices applied in trading organizations through a wider implementation of joint firefighting drills with fire and emergency safety authorities, adaptation of warehouse infrastructure, clear designation of emergency exits and placement of signs/work instructions for safe work at workplaces. Furthermore, it is critical to increase the use of appropriate work clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as to provide regular safety briefings in trading warehouses and small organizations.

Increasing the efficiency of warehouse analysis using artificial intelligence
Authors: Veres Peter
Published: September 2023

Logistics in companies is a necessary process that has high costs with mostly no added value. Lowering this cost is vitally important for companies to stay competitive. Nowadays, storage systems are a critical part of any company’s logistic system, and many of them try to reach an optimum level where they can operate with little freedom of movement of goods declared by the changing market. There are several manual and automated methods to achieve this. However, we hear quite little about the use of artificial intelligence in the field. This study focuses on the implementation of AI technology into warehousing, especially in categorizing goods. After an overview of the recent literature on AI technologies and their application in the field of logistics, the introduction of an AI application follows. The main goal of the application is to categorize each good stored in a warehouse into ABC-XYZ groups, which determines the place of the good in the warehouse and the ordering frequency with the quantity. After acquiring and cleaning the training data from a real company, the determination and selection of the least input parameters is an important and challenging task, which is demonstrated. The effectiveness of the supervised learning can be seen as an ANN (artificial neural network) can output, with the aid of a non-conventional metaheuristic approach - the black hole algorithm - as the learning agent is demonstrated by an example, which also shows the result of an ABC-XYZ categorization run on a dataset from a multinational company.

Despite the importance of the cold supply chain in preventing food waste worldwide, there are only a limited number of cold chain providers in Malaysia. This study investigates the factors influencing the intention to provide cold warehousing service logistics providers in Malaysia. Employing a purposive sampling method, data were gathered via an online survey of logistics companies in Malaysia. 184 usable datasets were valid for further analysis. Owing to concerns regarding predictive purposes, structural equation modelling with SMART-PLS 4 was applied to test the hypotheses of this study. The analysis found all direct hypotheses were supported. The relationship between CEO innovativeness and intention, and government support toward intention, is positively mediated by organizational readiness. Meanwhile, cost failed to mediate the relationship between CEO innovativeness and intention. The study developed a new model with two mediators for a better understanding of the factors influencing the intention to provide cold warehousing services in Malaysia from the perspective of logistics providers. The findings will provide meaningful information for the government to craft a better policy to enhance the number of cold service providers.

Published: September 2023

Indonesia has a lower employee engagement rate than other nations in Southeast Asia, and this phenomenon applies to all industries, including the logistics sector. The logistics industry generally contributes a critical portion of a nation's economy, so further study of the management effectiveness in logistics companies is essential. Any company requires a reliable workforce to function at its best. This research investigates some variables influencing employee engagement in the Indonesian logistics industry. The first variable is corporate governance; the second variable is internal control; corporate reputation is the third, where all these three are set as independent variables. The research also examines whether leadership style moderates the influences of the three independent variables on employee engagement. This study collected data research by distributing questionnaires to 742 respondents from 353 logistics firms. Statistical results came from the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) method used in this study. The findings revealed that the three independent variables positively and significantly impacted employee engagement. The leadership style functioned as the moderating role in corporate governance’s impact and the corporate reputation’s effect proven in this research; in contrast, it did not apply to internal control’s impact. These results suggest that logistics companies in Indonesia can improve employee engagement by ensuring exemplary implementation of the three independent variables while adopting a leadership style that supports these efforts.

Published: September 2023

Echinococcal invasion, included by the World Health Organization in the list of especially socially dangerous parasitic zoonoses, is an unresolved epidemic, epizootic and sanitary-hygienic problem for the population and animals in more than 250 countries of the world. The purpose of the research was to study the epizootic and sanitary-hygienic problems of echinococcosis of domestic goats in the North Caucasus region. In 2019-2022, the research was carried out in 3 climatic zones of Kabardino-Balkaria. The objects were liver and lungs of 120 slaughter goats. The intestines were dissected from 15 dog corpses slaughtered in accordance with the International Rules for the Humane Treatment of Animals (2012). Monitoring of echinococcosis in dogs and goats was performed by the method of autopsy of organs and tissues according to K.I. Scriabin (1928). The number of eggs of taeniid type in faeces of dogs and in 520 samples of water from natural reservoirs of the Terek river basin was determined according to the guidelines of Russian Research Institute of Parasitology (1986). In plain climatic zone, index of occurrence of cystic Echinococcus granulosus invasion in liver and lungs of goats was 18 %, in foothill zone - 24 %, in mountain zone - 28 % (on average, 25 %). Extracted from liver and lungs of sheep, transparent cysts of echinococcus contained protoscolexes in 100 % of the samples, which indicates the likelihood of foci involving dogs and wild predators in the region. Natural reservoirs of Kabardino-Balkaria are also large biotopes of teniosis. Contamination of river water samples with taeniid eggs is 11.037.0 %. The region belongs to the group of subjects with high rates of zoonosis in animals due to violation of the terms of deworming for priotary dogs, lack of sanitary and preventive work with the population. According to the epizootic situation for animal echinococcosis, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic can be attributed to disadvantaged regions of the Russian Federation, as there is an increase in the number of dogs with echinococcosis and goats infected with fertile cysts. Sanitary and hygienic pollution of the Terek river and its tributaries, Malka, Baksan, Cherek and Chegem, with eggs of cestodes is a threat to the spread of echinococcosis among animals and humans.
Techniques for assessing hearing loss in infants
Authors: Soni Rajeev , Kacker Sudhanshu , Saboo Neha
Published: September 2023

The ability to hear is one of the five major senses that allows us to communicate effectively with others. Unfortunately, individuals frequently take their sense of hearing for granted, and they do not know how important it is until it is lost or compromised. Hearing loss was not a top concern for the Indian government until recently. Prevention, early diagnosis, and care can prevent half of all occurrences of deafness and hearing impairment. The auditory sense is critical for a child’s brain development. This will also reduce the strain of hearing loss, preventing the loss of many potentially productive years. The most cost-effective strategy to lessen the burden of hearing loss is to screen new-borns and babies. Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory deficiency in people all over the world. The severity of hearing loss can range from mild to severe. Kapoor Set al. suggested that by screening, the condition is detected earlier than it would otherwise be diagnosed. Because of the urgent need to prevent infectious causes of mortality, neonates and new-borns are not regularly checked for any specific disease in India. The Department of Prevention of Communication Disorders of All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) located in the Southern India, conducts infant screening for hearing disorder on regular basis in different hospitals attached to it using Behavioural Observational Audiometry, Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) screening, and administering High Risk Register (HRR). In the year 2009-2010, a total of 12416 new-borns in 10 hospitals associated with AIISH were screened for hearing disorder. The following paragraphs deals with various issues related to the hearing screening of infants in India. Methodology of study was as we searched PubMed Central and Google Scholar for relevant articles with key words «hearing, screening, hearing loss and infants». Full-text articles were downloaded dated July 2022 to September 19, 2022. Relevance was judged according to articles describing theories of hearing screening of infants India. Conclusion. Hearing screening for new-borns is critical for detecting congenital hearing loss and providing early management. Every person has the right to live a healthy lifestyle. Hearing impairment, like communication disorders, begins early in life. Infants with hearing loss will only be able to reach their full potential as fully active, contributing, and integrated members of society if systematic early screening programmes are implemented. Hearing screening for new-borns is critical for detecting congenital hearing loss. The AABR is considered necessary for HRNHS in high-risk new-borns (prematurity, anoxia, hyperbilirubinemia) who are at risk of auditory neuropathy that cannot be detected using the OAE test. The OAE test is faster and easier to conduct, but it has a larger false positive rate than the AABR. The ideal hearing procedure is still being developed. As a result, the hearing screening technique should be adapted to the specific demands of each centre.

The study of patient satisfaction with the conditions of medical care in «COVID» hospitals, which were mainly repurposed from specialized medical organizations within the shortest time, is of particular relevance. The purpose of the study was an assessment of satisfaction with the conditions of medical care for patients with a new coronavirus infection. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted by questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed by the authors included 29 questions. The questionnaire consisted of 3 groups of questions: the first group was related to the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents (gender, age, marital status, education, etc.); in the second group, respondents assessed their health status at the time of the survey; in the third group - respondents answered questions regarding satisfaction with the conditions of care and the need for additional care. The results of a survey of 341 patients diagnosed with U07.1 Coronavirus infection COVID-19 included in the study were divided into 2 groups: 1 group - patients treated in outpatient care (173; 50,9 %); group 2 - patients of « COVID « hospitals (167; 49,1 %). The total number of examined men was 20.8 %, women - 79.2 %. The median age was 43,2 ± 12,1 years. Most of the women were persons aged 40-49 years (38.2 %), among men - aged 50-59 years (43.7 %). Results and Discussion. At the time of the survey, patients of the «covid» hospital rated their health on average by 3,58±0,11 points, and patients who applied to the clinic by 3,72±0,09 (p 0.05) points. The level of availability of diagnostic studies, free drug provision and the attitude of doctors, patients of the clinic rated slightly lower. On the contrary, patients of the clinic rated the conditions of stay in the medical organization higher than patients of the «covid» hospital. After suffering from COVID-19, the interviewed patients noted the need for additional assistance. The most frequent of them were: spa treatment - 39.3 %; additional diagnostic care (examination) - 15.0 %; preventive care (professional examinations) - 15.0 %. Conclusion. A sociological survey made it possible to establish and compare the level of satisfaction with the provision of medical care for patients with a new coronavirus infection in medical and preventive institutions. It is important to further monitor patients’ opinions on their satisfaction with the organization of medical care and identify needs that can serve as the basis for planning, providing and maintaining the quality of services during the COVID-19 pandemic and other emergencies.
OUIS and MINUSCA in the CAR: The Effectiveness of Realist and Liberal Peacekeeping Paradigms
Authors: Bovdunov Aleksandr L.
Published: September 2023

The conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR) has attracted international attention since the early 2000s. The African Union, the United Nations (UN) and the French Republic have all been involved in trying to help resolve the conflict. Since 2018, Russia has been actively involved in resolving the conflict in the Central African Republic. The government and people of the CAR have repeatedly expressed their dissatisfaction with the functioning of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) contingent and, conversely, expressed their appreciation for the Russian military specialists stationed in the CAR. The author attempts to compare the effectiveness of the UN peacekeeping contingent (MINUSCA) and Russian military specialists operating under the auspices of the Officers Union for International Security (OUIS), based on the essential unity of purpose of these forces. Based on an analysis of data on state control in the CAR and violent incidents from 2014 to 2022, the author concludes that the Russian contingent is more effective in providing security and strengthening the state in the CAR (tasks also outlined in the MINUSCA mandate). The author also analyzes the problems in the functioning of the UN peacekeeping contingents, highlighting their systemic and structural shortcomings. The main shortcoming, however, in his view, is the UN’s commitment to a liberal approach that challenges the sovereignty of the host state. The Russian realist approach, by contrast, focuses on sovereignty and its power component. Thus, the actions of the Russians in the CAR can be studied within the paradigm of “illiberal” peacekeeping.

Costruction of the judicial defense speech: based on the material of court speeches by Y.S. Kiselev
Authors: Baisheva Zilya V.
Published: September 2023

The construction of a public speech is one of the most important components of creating a convincing oratorical performance. Despite the constant interest of researchers in the challenges of constructing a court speech, the arrangement of structural elements, the issue remains unresolved in practical aspect: modern court speakers need recommendations that would contribute to creating effective defense statements. The purpose of this research is to analyze the composition of successful court speeches of the famous Soviet lawyer Y.S. Kiselev, aimed at identifying the features of arrangement of the material, factors that condition this or that disposition, and on this basis to identify various options for the arrangement of content elements contributing to the creation of a convincing speech. Using the method of compositional analysis, as well as rhetorical analysis, descriptive and structural methods, we investigate thirteen effective judicial defense speeches by Y.S. Kiselev. Having analyzed the types of introductions used by him, we have established a high degree of viability of using hyped up or unexpected beginning, as well as conditionality of the choice of the type of introduction by the prosecutor, readiness of the audience to perceive the defense speech, and attitude of the audience to the circumstances of the case. The analysis of the main part of Kiselev’s speeches allows to identify the micro themes presented in all his defense statements, as well as conditionality of a number of micro themes by the circumstances of the case, the arguments of the prosecution, and the chosen line of defense. The conclusion reveals structural elements in all the speeches of the well-known lawyer under study: a clearly expressed position of the defense in the case, a pathetic and educational moment, and an appeal to the court for leniency or acquittal of the defendant. In general, the construction of the defense speech is conditioned by the circumstances of the case, the position of the prosecution, the chosen line of defense, the specifics of the audience, as well as the moral qualities, erudition and communicative skills of the speaker.

Published: September 2023

The study is devoted to the legal regulatory framework and its forms of manifestation. The material is based on the analysis of certain provisions of labor legislation. Labor legislation is the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its constituent entities and combines simultaneously several levels of legal regulation, namely federal, regional, local and others. Further research of the theory of framework legal regulation involves an analysis of the forms of its manifestation in particular branches of law. Legal regulatory framework is built on the legal norms that set certain limits of legal regulation, while their specification depends on the discretion of the law enforcer. In labor legislation, there are norms of different degrees of certainty. The logical constructions of individual legal norms of labor legislation are characterized by certain uncertainty. Legal uncertainty provides for the right to the subjects of legal relationship or the law enforcer to act at their own discretion. It seems relevant to investigate the properties of relatively determinate norms of labor legislation, and to analyze the specifics of the legal regulatory framework mechanism, based on the analysis of judicial practice.

Using the data or information that has been found, researchers may use the grounded theory technique to explain the causes of a phenomenon, identify its causes and effects, and decide what actions can be implemented in regard to the current situation. The use of localised women's empowerment is thought to have the potential to be an preventative action against the issue of terrorism. Women may be incredibly motivating role models. Women are capable of doing this in the smallest scope, which is the family. Women are able to educate their children and families, provide the concept of tolerance, and spread the love of peace. That is why it is needed to strengthen the laws that may regulate existence of efforts to create deradicalization in local level by involving women in it.

Transplantation is the preferred therapy for terminal organ disease because it improves patients' long-term survival and quality of life. This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding organ donation among medical students and doctors across Saudi Arabia. It is a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire distributed online through social media. The 32-item questionnaire was adapted from a previous study to assess organ donation knowledge, attitudes, and practices among medical students and doctors in Saudi Arabia. Participants demonstrate a moderate level of knowledge, with an average total knowledge score of 6.5 out of 12. Females have higher knowledge scores than males (p=0.037), and married participants score higher than non-married individuals (p=0.031). Interns and doctors score higher than medical students (p<0.001). Most participants support organ donation (85.13%), feel comfortable discussing it (81.28%), and are willing to donate their organs (61.03%). However, concerns about premature treatment termination for registered donors (35.64%) and the belief that your body should be kept intact after death (56.67%) are present. A minority have pledged or signed to donate (33.59%), and even fewer have donated organs (13.59%). Medical professionals in Saudi Arabia have moderate knowledge and good attitudes, but some are concerned about premature treatment termination for donors and fear of disfigurement. The findings highlight the need for educational interventions to improve knowledge and address concerns to bridge the gap between attitudes and actual organ donation practices.
