Effectiveness and mechanisms of sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes and heart failure patients
Authors: Zhang Yan-Xi , Hu Hai-Sheng , Sun Bao-Qing
Published: October 2024

We comment on an article by Grubić Rotkvić et al published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Cardiology . We specifically focused on possible factors affecting the therapeutic effectiveness of sodium-dependent glucose transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their impact on comorbidities. SGLT2i inhibits SGLT2 in the proximal tubules of the kidneys, lowering blood glucose levels by inhibiting glucose reabsorption by the kidneys and causing excess glucose to be excreted in the urine. Previous studies have demonstrated a role of SGLT2i in cardiovascular function in patients with diabetes who take metformin but still have poor glycemic control. In addition, SGLT2i has been shown to be effective in anti-apoptosis, weight loss, and cardiovascular protection. Accordingly, it is feasible to treat patients with T2DM with cardiovascular or renal diseases using SGLT2i.
Bioresorbable stent unloading during percutaneous coronary intervention: Early detection and management
Authors: Eid Nabil , Abdel Wahab Mohamed , Thanu Amardev Singh
Published: October 2024

In this letter, we comment on a recent case report by Sun et al in the World Journal of Cardiology . The report describes the successful management of a rare complication: The unloading or detachment of a bioresorbable stent (BRS) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a male patient. The unloading of BRS was detected via angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging of the left coronary artery and left anterior descending artery. Although this case is interesting, the authors’ report lacked crucial details. Specifically, insufficient information about the type of BRS used, potential causes of BRS unloading, or whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging for coronary arteries was performed before, during, or after PCI. The OCT imaging of coronary arteries before PCI can potentially prevent BRS unloading due to its higher resolution compared to IVUS. In addition, despite detecting myocardial bridging during the PCI, the authors did not provide any details regarding this variation. Here we discuss the various types of BRS, the importance of OCT in PCI, and the clinical relevance of myocardial bridging.

Authors:   Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, Wu Shaohong
Published: October 2024

Climate change is a common challenge for all humanity. Research on understanding the patterns of climate change and identifying its impacts is crucial for adapting to and mitigating climate change, as well as for developing appropriate policy measures to address it. The Chinese government places great importance on scientific research related to climate change. Since 2007, China has released four national climate change assessment reports and two national strategies for adapting to climate change. China has also launched special scientific and technological innovation plans related to climate change, including projects under the national science and technology programs in the field of social development, the National Natural Science Foundation projects, and key research and development projects. A comprehensive deployment of scientific work to adapt to climate change has been carried out, continuously conducting fundamental scientific research on climate change to support subsequent project funding. This has led to the establishment of China’s technical system for assessing the impacts and risks of climate change. These efforts provide scientific support for raising public awareness of climate change, enhancing international scientific cooperation, and laying the foundation for building a fair, reasonable, and cooperative global climate governance system that benefits all parties.

In recent years, various regions worldwide have experienced an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including cold and heat waves, floods, droughts, forest fires, and storms. Climate models predict that many areas, particularly in Southern Europe, including Bulgaria, will face heightened drought and longer dry periods, along with higher temperatures. Climate change and weather-related disasters profoundly impact agriculture, one of the most important sectors of Bulgaria's economy. This study provides an overview of regional climate change trends in Bulgaria, focusing on extreme weather events such as frost occurrences, hailstorms, thunderstorms, heat waves, and droughts. Increased temperatures and altered precipitation patterns lead to stress on crops such as wheat, maize, and sunflowers, which are critical to Bulgaria’s agriculture. The survey results among Bulgarian farmers show that Bulgarian agriculture is increasingly vulnerable to droughts and climate variability. In addition to drought, Bulgarian farmers report an increase in extreme weather events such as hailstorms, irregular precipitation patterns, and reduced snow cover during winter. Furthermore, the distinction between the four seasons has become less pronounced, with a notably shorter spring season. This research includes a detailed case study on the impact of extreme drought on major crops in Bulgaria. This impact was assessed using a correlation analysis between the Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), a key drought indicator, and average crop yields. The analysis focused on crops that are highly dependent on moisture availability, such as maize and sunflower, in addition to Bulgaria's primary cereal crop, wheat. The findings indicate that droughts significantly reduce crop yields, especially in regions reliant on rain-fed agriculture. Bulgarian farms are implementing adaptive measures such as adjusting sowing dates and cultivating drought-resistant crop varieties. However, these strategies are not always sufficient to address the challenges posed by climate change, as it remains difficult to predict the alternating patterns of dry and wet years. The results of the study emphasize the importance of continued research, policy support, and investment in adaptation strategies to ensure the resilience of the agricultural sector.
REVISED THORNTHWAITE CLIMATE CLASSIFICATION FOR MONTENEGRO (1961–2020)

The main objective of this paper is to perform a bioclimatic delineation of regions with varying degrees of humidity in Montenegro using the Thornthwaite Moisture Index. A dataset spanning 60 years (1961–2020) was utilized, comprising air temperature and precipitation sums from 18 meteorological stations (MS). The homogeneity of the data was examined using the methods MASH v3.02 and MISH v1.02. For determining the climatic classification categories, the 60-year period (1961–2020) was divided into two standard climatic sub-periods: 1961–1990 and 1991–2020, to detect any changes in the spatial distribution of climates. The analysis was conducted on a multi-year monthly level. Calculations were performed using the software package PAST 4.13, and maps were drawn using QGIS 2.8.1. For the mathematical modeling of the cartographic representation of Thornthwaite’s climatic classification, the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) geostatistical interpolation method was used. The hythergraph method was used for graphical representation of stations as typical representatives of climates in the Thornthwaite classification system. The results obtained for the 60-year period indicate that the Thornthwaite Moisture Index (PE) has values ranging from 631.5 (MS Crkvica), indicating a humid (A) climate with forest and persistent rain, to 95 (MS Pljevlja), indicating a humid (B) climate with forest vegetation. The majority of MS in Montenegro show values of this index that classify them into a humid (A) climate. The average value of the Thornthwaite Moisture Index (PE) at 18 MS for the 60-year period is 198.3, indicating that the climate of Montenegro during this period was humid with forest and persistent rain. According to the Thornthwaite Moisture Index (PE), the lowest effects were detected at stations in the north and northeast of Montenegro (MS Pljevlja, MS Berane, MS Bijelo Polje, MS Rožaje, and MS Plav), as well as at MS Ulcinj and MS Bar, while the highest effects were recorded at stations in the southwest and west of the territory. This can be related to the spatial distribution and precipitation regime in Montenegro. For each MS, Thornthwaite’s climatic formula was determined for the 60-year and two 30-year sub-periods, with changes in the climatic formula between the observed periods specifically marked.
ASSESSMENT OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS: A CASE STUDY OF THE VLADAYSKA RIVER, SOFIA

River water quality is one of the current topics of theoretical and applied hydrology, ecological and urban hydrology, and one of the main problems in the planning and management of water resources. The chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of surface water, based on standards for its use, are related to human health, food production, wetland ecosystems, economic development, and social growth in our communities. The question of the quality of surface water in urban areas, where a combination of point and diffuse sources of pollution is registered, is particularly acute. Both organic pollution and heavy metal contamination remain unsolved problems facing the water resources management sector in Bulgaria. Thus, the objective of the current work is to analyse the quality of surface water in urbanized territories by examining the current hydro-ecological condition of river Vladayska through the application of the CCME Water Quality Index and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The water quality index of the Vladayska River at two points (before and after the city of Sofia) has been calculated based on monthly measurements of 15 physicochemical parameters for the period 2010–2021. The obtained results establish a strong anthropogenic pressure on the river waters and deteriorated water quality, after Sofia city, regardless of the presence of a water treatment facility. The results show that the main indicators affecting the water quality are the increased concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen compounds. The main source of phosphorus is most often domestic and industrial wastewater, while the source of nitrogen is pollution from leachate from septic systems and urban runoff. Seasonal differences in pollutant concentration were also found depending on hydrological conditions and changes in the intensity of anthropopressure. The results also indicate that fluctuations in the concentrations of dissolved chemical substances in river waters depend on several hydroclimatic factors. Studying these relationships would provide a better understanding of the dynamics of pollutants and the conditions under which the concentrations of specific dissolved substances are expected to exceed the permissible norms.

Solar activity can significantly impact the Earth’s atmosphere through variations in electromagnetic radiation and solar energetic particles (SEPs). While the investigation of connections between electromagnetic radiation and Earth’s atmosphere has a long history, recently, there has been a growing interest in research on the rapid impact of SEPs on the weather and climate of the Earth. Entering the atmosphere, fast SEPs originating from a coronal mass ejection and coronal holes can increase ionization rates and affect the atmosphere’s processes. Although the penetration of SEPs into the magnetosphere in the Earth’s polar area is recognized, how exactly they spread and disperse over air masses and move toward the Earth’s surface is still unclear. The recent availability of a large amount of satellite data monitoring the processes between the Sun and the Earth and the development of machine learning (ML) algorithms have made it possible to process massive amounts of data and to find precise patterns and trends that are not recognizable using traditional techniques based on known physical laws. Several studies using different ML techniques have been conducted at the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijic” (GIJC) SASA to investigate the functional dependence between factors characterizing solar activity and the occurrence of forest fires, hurricanes, and precipitation-induced floods. The underlying premise of these investigations is that Earth’s atmosphere is affected by any magnetic field energy and particles ejected from the Sun’s geoeffective position. Due to the high risk to people and their property, as well as indications that floods will become more frequent in the future, the investigation of a possible link between solar activity parameters and precipitation-induced floods is of particular interest. In GIJC, floods in the United Kingdom and across Europe have been investigated. Studies used classification ML modeling and took into account the time delay between outbreak SEPs and the effect on the atmosphere. It has been shown that classification ML algorithms are valuable tools for establishing the nonlinear relationship between SEPs and precipitation-induced floods, and they can explain the appearance of the precipitation that may cause floods up to nine days in advance with accuracy between 81% and 91%.
Jak správně filosofovat
Authors: Parusniková Zuzana
Published: October 2024

A unique feature of Hume’s epistemology is his concern for the philosopher’s state of mind in the process of doing philosophy. Philosophizing should bring agreeable feelings and avoid such contemplations that lead to distress. This is my main argument for proposing the affinity of Hume’s philosophy with the Pyrrhonian tradition. At the same time, however, Hume suspects that this goal is unattainable because a deep philosophical reflection necessarily leads to skeptical conclusions that give rise to depression. So how should a philosopher bear this burden and “feel good” at the same time? For Hume, the conception of true philosophy remains contradictory, oscillating between an escape from philosophy to common life and the natural need to pursue profound reasoning. Hume later tries to remove these contradictions by proclaiming it necessary to blunt the edges of radical Pyrrhonism and move to the position of Academic skepticism. I have doubts about the success of his strategy. His proclaimed turn to academicism has no support in the ancient doctrines and, furthermore, Hume does not develop the theme of probable knowledge, which inspired the modern skeptics in their effort to provide rational foundations for the newly emerging sciences.
O hneve, alebo čo ponúka Heideggerova filozofia afektivity
Authors: Démuth Andrej
Published: October 2024

The article presented here thematizes Heidegger’s view of affectivity, experience and passions in the context of his reading of Nietzsche’s philosophy. Following the basic plan of Heidegger’s analysis of moods (especially fear and anxiety) in Being and Time, the author attempts to show us what Heidegger’s phenomenology of affectivity would have enabled us to see in the phenomenon of anger if Heidegger had elaborated it. The author analyzes anger as a social and moral emotion through the prism of what “angry” phenomena have in common; what we perceive when we are angry; and what it is for us that anger is even about. In conclusion, anger is presented as something existential that not only uncovers existence itself, but above all the relationship of our will to phenomena that are not acceptable to us.
Descombes ako možnosť interpretácie umeleckej udalosti u Alaina Badioua
Authors: Šedo Marcel
Published: October 2024

T he study interprets Alain Badiou’s philosophy using Vincent Descombes’ Le même et l’autre (The Same and the Other). We believe that placing Badiou in the context of French philosophy of the 20th century can show him in a new light. Descombes’ book forms an interpretive framework from which the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche and G. W. F. Hegel emerge. We perceive Badiou as an author who connects two phases of French philosophy (postulated by Descombes): the period of the three H’s (Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger) and the period of (post)structuralism (Nietzsche, Freud, Marx). T he study will try to show connections, but also differences, between these concrete philosophies. The goal, in the meantime, is to shed light on Badiou, who can still be described as an (sufficiently) author who isn’t reflected, through the philosophy of authors who have already been reflected. We will move into the center of Badiou’s thinking through his inaesthetics.
Selhání základem morálních teorií?
Authors: Formanová Josefína
Published: October 2024

This article is dedicated to the book Reframing Ethics through Dialectics: A New Understanding of the Moral Good by Michael Steinmann, who argues that the dialec tical inconsistency of moral theories, to which he refers to as “failure,” founds the ontological status of moral principles. Individual moral failure, on the other hand, is reduced to an epistemic error. Against the background of Lisa Tessman’s moral skepticism, Søren Kierkegaard’s moral existentialism, and Georg Simmel’s moral psy chologism, the author of this article shows that by overlooking the significance of in dividual moral failure, Steinmann’s “metaethical failure” loses its dialectical meaning.
Josef Zumr
Authors: Svoboda Jan
Published: October 2024

Josef Zumr was one of the leading representatives of modern Czech philosophical thought. His lifelong disposition was to be a realist of the Masaryk variety. He believed that a formative idea of humanity was the determinate element in the Czech tradition of thought. He found his unceasing conviction in the meaning and value of actuality in a conscious search for a supporting ideological cohesion in modern Czech thinking – in the urgent and convincing revelation of its original, rational sources and emancipatory heights. He himself critically thought through this quintessential line of expression in Czech thought, doing so creatively and with the full responsibility of an engaged intellectual, and developing it conceptually and thematically. With his critical intellectual stance, the paramount goal of which Zumr considered to be the positive reshaping of existing social reality, he opened up possibilities of effectively strengthening democratic principles. One of these complementary democratic principles weighed most heavily on Josef Zumr in the final phase of his life: freedom of speech. He left us on July 2, 2024 at the age of 96.

Published: October 2024

This study is part of the development of eco-materials (dune sand, clay soil and natural fibers) for masonry and the rehabilitation of heritage in arid and semi-arid environments which are found in abundance in North Africa. The manufacture of compressed earth bricks stabilized (BTCS) has gained some momentum over the last decade. First, we present the results of characterization tests of sand-clay mixtures based on the compressive strength criterion. Secondly, an optimization of the stabilizer of the sand-clay mixtures using different percentages of lime was carried out. The choice of lime as a stabilizer remains an environmental reason. In the last step, the optimal mixture obtained (sand-clay-lime) based on the compressive strength criterion will be reinforced with different percentages of natural fibers of different lengths. The formulation of the mixture (sand-clay-lime-fibers) optimally meets the regulatory requirements (mechanical and thermal) of arid and semi-arid zones known as very hot in summer and cold in winter. Finally, the results obtained open up a field of contribution to the manufacture of a local ecological eco-material at low cost.

Published: October 2024

In this paper, we study the complex-type Fibonacci -sequence according to modulo and obtain the periods and the ranks of the complex-type Fibonacci -sequence. Then, we consider the generating matrix of the complex-type Fibonacci -sequence when read modulo and we obtain the cyclic groups. Furthermore, we derive the relationships between the periods of the complex-type Fibonacci -sequence modulo and the orders of the cyclic groups produced. Also, we redefine the complex-type Fibonacci -sequence through the elements of the groups and then examine this sequence in the finite groups. Finally, we obtain the periods of the complex-type Fibonacci -sequence in the dihedral group as applications of the results produced.
A GENERALIZED APPROACH TO INTEGRATION PROCESS BY AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
Authors: PAKDEMIRLI MEHMET
Published: October 2024

Analytical integrals of functions in closed form are rare and one has to resort frequently to numerical integration techniques. In this work, approximate auxiliary functions that can be integrated are replaced by the original function to determine approximate analytical and numerical integrals. Information on one and two points of the function is used in determining the parameters of the auxiliary trial functions. Three alternative methods are proposed. Once the function without an available closed-form integral is replaced with an integrable one, analytical and numerical integration results can be found. The integration step size can be substantially increased by the employment of the methods.

MANNOSE - PEROXYDISULFATE REACTION: QUALITATIVE PRODUCT ANALYSIS, SURFACE EFFECT AND EXPERIMENTAL KINETIC MEASUREMENTS
Authors: ABUALREISH MUSTAFA J.A.
Published: October 2024

Peroxydisulfate (PDS) is a powerful oxidizing agent for reducing sugars. Throughout the redox interaction with the D(+)mannose molecule, the current work used the iodometric technique of measurement to track the unconsumed (PDS) at various time intervals. The existence of formaldehyde and formic acid in the qualitative test of the volatile redox reaction products suggests that the mannose molecule undergoes oxidative cleavage at its C-C bonds and the aldehydic and primary alcoholic groups. According to surface effect experiments, the redox reaction is characterized by chain reactions. Based on the results of the kinetics experiments, it was determined that the reaction rate is first order for [PDS] and fractional order for [Mannose] and that both respond more rapidly as the concentrations of these substances rise. Investigating the effect of temperature on the redox reaction under controlled experimental settings revealed that increasing the temperature resulted in a faster pace. The activation energy of the redox process was calculated to be 26.85 kcal/mole based on the oxidation rate measurements taken at different temperatures. Other activation functions, such as the frequency factor, the change in free energy, and the change in entropy, were also measured at different temperatures. A rate law was developed, and appropriate reaction pathways for the oxidation of D(+)mannose were proposed based on the collected experimental data...

Authors: Horbach V. , Horbach T. , Bilous K.
Published: October 2024

The revival of manufacturers interest in ground-based robotic systems pose new challenges to scientists of the world's leading countries in terms of their development and improvement. Considerable experience was obtained in the use of ground-based robotic systems during the performance of combat (special) tasks in the course of repelling large-scale aggression of the Russian Federation. The rapid development of weapons system data is due, among other things, to the transition of the Russia-Ukraine war into the digital dimension, where the leading role in defeating the enemy and performing combat (special) tasks is assigned to various types of unmanned systems. Unmanned aircraft systems for aerial reconnaissance and FPV drones have developed significantly. Currently, a number of ground-based and surface robotic systems are being tested in units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This paper analyses the latest developments of ground-based robotic systems, options for their classification in accordance with mass-dimensional characteristics, the degree of autonomy, the nature of the tasks performed, the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of engines. Comparative characteristics of ground robotic systems of different classes, general and functional structures are given. Based on the analysis of the application of the main types of ground-based robotic systems, a block diagram which reveals the problems of research in this field was developed.
Factors that directly affect the overall effectiveness of ground-based robotic systems are given. A list of the main criteria forming a general assessment of the effectiveness of ground-based robotic systems has been created. This list is justified on the basis of the main challenges that arose during the analysis of ground-based robotic systems during the performance of combat (special) tasks and the primary technical requirements that are put forward for any military type of weaponry.

Fiziksel ortamda olduğu gibi çevrim içi ortamda da perakendeci işletmelerin müşteri şikâyetlerini başarılı bir şekilde yönetmeleri; müşterileri elde tutmaları ve onların tekrar satın almalarını sağlamaları açısından büyük önem arz etmektedir. Müşterinin memnun kalıp tekrar satın alması ne kadar önemliyse, müşteri şikâyetleri sonrasında da tekrar satın alma davranışının gerçekleşmesi çevrim içi ortamda rekabet avantajının elde edilebilmesi ve sürdürülebilir büyümenin sağlanması için o kadar önemlidir. Çevrim içi ortamda müşteri şikâyeti olarak ortaya çıkan olumsuz bilgilerin yayılma hızı ve riskinin çok daha yüksek olduğu da düşünüldüğünde, müşteri şikâyet yönetimini başarıyla gerçekleştirmek ve müşteri memnuniyetsizliğini çözmek için müşteri hizmet yönetiminin sağlanması ve satış sonrasında da devam ettirilmesi, müşteri odaklı perakendeci işletmelerin başarısında büyük rol oynamaktadır. Bu düşünceler doğrultusunda çalışmanın amacı, işletmeden tüketiciye (B2C- business to customer) çevrim içi ortamda satışlarını gerçekleştiren perakendeci işletmeler açısından müşteri şikâyet konularının neler olduğunu belirlemek ve müşteri şikâyetlerinin satın alma niyetinin tekrarında ne kadar etkisinin olduğunu incelemektir. Tanımlayıcı ve nedensel araştırma yaklaşımının uygulandığı bu araştırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemi yoluyla çevrim içi perakendeci işletmelerden hizmet alan 400 tüketiciye ulaşılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 25.0 istatistik paket programı kuӏӏаnıӏmış ve araştırma kapsamında frekans analizi, güvеniӏirӏik analizi, faktör analizi ve rеgrеsyon аnаӏizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çevrim içi ortamda yaşanan müşteri şikâyetlerinin satın alma niyetinin tekrarında ne kadar etkili olduğu regresyon analizi ile incelenmiş ve araştırma sonucunda şikâyetleri giderecek bir yapıda müşteri hizmet yönetiminin uygulanmasının ne kadar önemli olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarının, hem çevrim içi perakendeci işletmelere yol göstermesi hem de ulusal alan yazında önemli bir boşluğu doldurarak ilgili alana katkı sağlaması hedeflenmektedir. Bununla birlikte çalışma, çevrim içi ortamda yaşanan müşteri şikâyetlerini tekrar eden satın alma niyeti açısından incelemesi nedeniyle özgünlük taşımaktadır.

Authors: Bezerra Adrielle Nara Serra , Colares Anselmo Alencar
Published: October 2024

Considerando que a extensão é uma função acadêmica crucial para a concretização da missão social da universidade brasileira, este texto aborda o seu movimento histórico no intuito de compreender as concepções e contradições presentes. Para tal, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, demonstrou-se que o percurso histórico da extensão no Brasil reflete os desafios e as transformações sociais, políticas e econômicas do país ao longo do tempo. A concepção de extensão universitária historicamente praticada no Brasil teve influências tanto europeias, quanto norte-americanas, que por sua vez determinaram o padrão de educação superior adotado no país. De forma contraditória, no que tange à extensão universitária, tem se mostrado predominante uma extensão inspirada nos ideais das universidades populares latino-americanas, evidentes na concepção acadêmica de extensão, marcada pelo desenvolvimento de ações dialógicas, inerentes ao processo formativo e à produção do conhecimento, com propósito emancipatório e práticas transformadoras.
THEORETICAL VIEWS ON THE DEPOLITICIZATION AND THE TWILIGHT OF THE POLITICAL
Authors: Birešev Ana
Published: October 2024

The paper examines two different conceptual perspectives on how politics and political have changed at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, as well as the specific understandings of depoliticization implied in these perspectives. The first part of the paper discusses theories (Rancière, Mouffe, and Žižek) that consider depoliticization as a result of the systematic foreclosure or repudiation of the political (i.e. moments of antagonism) and the post-political/post-democratic condition. The second part of the paper focuses on approaches (Flinders and Buller, Flinders and Wood, Crouch, and Hay) that see depoliticization as a specific (neoliberal) governing strategy or technique. These approaches look at how politicians position themselves as agents of their own disempowerment and shift the responsibility for public policy away from the state through institutional, legislative, and ideological-rhetorical strategies. The paper also examines the role of anti-politics and the technocratic principle of governance in the erosion of the political and the growing political disaffection. The article concludes by discussing the strengths and limitations of the presented theoretical approaches to depoliticization.
EMOTIONAL PROCESSES IN JUVENILE DELINQUENTS: CRIMINOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Pavlović Svetlana
Published: October 2024

Juvenile delinquency represents a serious societal issue, and this paper focuses on the emotional aspects associated with it. Juvenile offences are estimated to constitute 7% of total criminal acts worldwide, with significant social consequences. Delinquents often come from dysfunctional families, abuse psychoactive substances, and experience psychiatric disorders, highlighting the complexity of this problem. The paper’s emphasis is on the emotional processes underlying delinquency, starting with emotional intelligence (EI). Research indicates a connection between low EI and juvenile delinquency, highlighting the role of emotion recognition and emotional regulation in this context. Various forms of delinquency may be linked to different aspects of emotional regulation, particularly impulsivity. The paper also considers psychopathy as a prominent personality characteristic closely related to juvenile delinquency, exploring the emotions that describe psychopathy. Factors such as manipulativeness, low empathy, and impulsivity are often present in juveniles with psychopathic traits. Additionally, in this paper, we are interested in Callous-Unemotional (CU) Taits. CU model is applied to describe the psychopathic tendencies of children and adolescents. The connection between emotions and cognition in the context of juvenile delinquency is illustrated through findings that discuss two dimensions of empathy: affective and cognitive, as well as the role of executive functions in delinquent behaviors. Finally, the importance of research seeking to explain the link between emotions and cognition is emphasized, particularly in the context of understanding personality traits responsible for such behaviors, such as psychopathy.
FEMINIST APPROACHES TO CHILDHOOD: FROM CHILDREN AS A SILENT SOCIAL GROUP TO GIVING VOICE TO CHILDREN
Authors: Golubović Andrija
Published: October 2024

In this paper two different approaches to childhood in the history of "Western" feminism are presented. The first part of the paper is devoted to the key dispute in the relevant literature about whether feminists conceptualized childhood at all. Within this, the dominant viewpoint is firstly presented, according to which feminists did not write about childhood until the 1990s, in an effort to distance themselves from the patriarchal discourse that binds women to children. After that the findings of the latest research from 2018/21 are presented, which shows that feminists throughout history have written extensively on childhood, mostly theoretical/political discussions of the shared oppression that children and women suffer at the hands of adult men. The second part of the paper sheds light on the emergence of a different way of conceptualizing childhood in feminist texts in the 1990s, which is based on empirical research with children with a focus on the active re/construction of gender in their social interactions. In support of this, pioneering research from this period is presented, which paved the way for later, similar conceptualizations of childhood within this approach. The conclusion discusses the possibility of connecting these two approaches and their potential contribution to the sociology of childhood.

Lead acetate, a prominent heavy metal, is released into the environment by various industries like paint, ceramics, lead-containing pipes, and plastics. Exposure to lead acetate has adverse effects on numerous organs in the body, with a particular impact on the testes due to its distinctive vascular system. The present study investigated the potential protective effects of biotin on lead acetate-induced testicular damage in Wistar rats. Twenty (20) male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: control (animal feed daily with water); negative control (lead acetate 60 mg/kg); Positive control group( high-dose Biotin (80mg/kg) and the treatment group Lead acetate (60mg/kg)/high-dose Biotin (80mg/kg). After 28 days of administration, blood samples were collected for hormonal assay, and semen from the epididymis for semen profile. Testicular samples were also collected for histopathological studies. Results showed that lead acetate administration significantly decreased the sperm count, motility, viability, and altered histology of the testis (testicular damage, necrosis of seminiferous tubules, and loss of spermatid) compared to the negative control. However, the treatment group showed significantly improved histology of the testis, and increased sperm count, motility, and viability. From the results of this study, it could be concluded that biotin supplementation could provide a promising ameliorative effect against lead acetate-induced testicular toxicity.
