TRANSFORMATION OF THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF UKRAINIAN CITIZENS DURING RUSSIA'S HYBRID AGGRESSION
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Osipova Z. O.
Published: February 2025

This article examines the transformation of the political culture of Ukrainian citizens during Russia's hybrid aggression. The author analyzes various components of political culture, including political awareness and competence, level of satisfaction and degree of political trust, political activity and engagement, political efficacy and readiness for social protest, as well as identity and national self-identification.
The analysis is based on data from sociological studies conducted from 1991 to 2022, with a particular focus on the period after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion. The article employs a diachronic comparative analysis to track changes in these components over time.
The author notes that while political interest among Ukrainians has remained high, political competence and awareness have not seen significant improvements. Citizens' trust in political institutions has fluctuated, with spikes occurring after elections and the Euromaidan protests, but generally remaining low.
Regarding political efficacy and readiness for protest, the study finds that most Ukrainians have traditionally favored legal, non-aggressive forms of protest, such as petition signing and lawful demonstrations. However, the belief in their ability to influence political processes has remained low.
In terms of political activity and engagement, the author highlights that while voter turnout in elections has been high, participation in civic organizations and political parties has been relatively low. The article pays particular attention to the changes in identity and national self-identification, noting a significant consolidation of Ukrainian national identity and a shift towards a European geopolitical orientation after the full-scale Russian invasion. The author argues that the war has contributed to the formation of a political (civic) nation and the overcoming of the identity crisis.
Overall, the article concludes that while the political culture of Ukrainian society has undergone significant transformations in terms of identity and socio-political orientations, levels of political awareness, competence, and efficacy have not seen substantial improvements. The author cautions that the current consolidation of society may be unstable and subject to new divisions related to human losses, migration, and economic hardship.
Keywords: political culture, hybrid aggression, political awareness, political competence, political activity, civic engagement, national identity.

Published: February 2025

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategic partnership between Ukraine and Poland in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war that began in 2014 and intensified with the full-scale invasion in 2022. The research examines the multifaceted nature of bilateral relations, focusing on several key dimensions of cooperation.
The study investigates the evolution of political cooperation, highlighting the development of institutional mechanisms and regular high-level dialogue between the countries. Particular attention is paid to Poland's role as one of Ukraine's most consistent allies in opposing Russian aggression, including its advocacy for Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration and support in international forums.
The military aspect of cooperation is thoroughly examined, analyzing Poland's significant contribution to Ukraine's defense capabilities through military aid, which reached 3 billion euros between February 2022 and July 2023. The research emphasizes the transformation of military cooperation from symbolic partnership before 2022 to substantial strategic alliance during the full-scale war.
The economic dimension is analyzed through the lens of trade relations, investment cooperation, and recent challenges, including the agricultural disputes that emerged in 2023-2024. The study addresses the asymmetric nature of economic relations and explores potential areas for deeper integration, particularly in the context of Ukraine's future EU membership.
Special attention is devoted to humanitarian cooperation, particularly Poland's unprecedented response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis. The research provides detailed analysis of refugee demographics, support mechanisms, and integration processes, highlighting Poland's role as the primary destination for Ukrainian refugees in Europe.
The paper also addresses sensitive historical issues between the two nations, examining how current cooperation in facing common threats has influenced the dialogue about historical reconciliation. The study concludes by outlining prospects for future cooperation and identifying areas requiring further research, including the long-term impact of war on bilateral relations, migration effects on Polish society, and potential for deeper economic integration.
This research contributes to the understanding of how regional security challenges can transform bilateral relations and create new formats of strategic partnership, using the Ukrainian-Polish case as a prominent example of such transformation.

PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS FOR THE REUNIFICATION OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC WITH NORTHERN IRELAND
Authors:   Senior Researcher of the Tivodor Legotsky Research Center of the F. Rakotsi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education, Marusynets M.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the issues of the eventual unification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the context of the transformation of the political environment - the change of ruling parties and Brexit. The rights of Northern Irish residents are examined in the context of whether the desire of the majority of Northern Irish residents to remain part of the European Union, expressed in the Brexit referendum in 2016, will lead to the unification of Ireland. Brexit, demographic changes and political upheaval in Northern Ireland have made many people think whether reunification could happen sooner than expected. The prospect of a united Ireland emerges as Sinn Féin’s leader takes office as First Minister in the Northern Ireland government. Until now, Northern Ireland’s First Minister has always been from the British Unionist Party, but Sinn Féin, which advocates Northern Ireland’s reunification with the Republic of Ireland, won a majority of seats in the assembly for the first time in 2022. The DUP, Northern Ireland’s largest British unionist party, boycotted the Assembly from February 2022 to February 2024 in protest at post-Brexit trading rules and refused to return for two years, leaving the country of 1.9 million people without a functioning administration .
The Good Friday Agreement, also known as the Belfast Agreement, recognizes the right of the people of the island of Ireland to create a united Ireland, subject to the consent of both parties. Therefore, in order for Irish reunification to take place, a “border poll”, which is a form of referendum, has to be held in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. A quarter of a century has passed since the Good Friday Agreement was signed, which created a new power-sharing government in Northern Ireland. The agreement also sets out the type of agreement that will be required to achieve Irish unity. At the time the agreement was signed, the majority of Protestants in Northern Ireland were strongly opposed to unification.
It examines the political implications of Brexit for the prospects for a united Ireland. It has been proven that Brexit causes many problematic issues, which are particularly related to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In this regard, the article examines the political implications of Brexit for the prospects of a united Ireland. It has been proven that Brexit, on the one hand, has led to a strengthening of the split between the communities of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and on the other hand, has strengthened the desire of the “two Irelands” to reunite. Given the fact that Brexit envisages a return to a hard border on the island from April 2017, the popularity of the idea of unification is steadily growing.
Key words: Good Friday Agreement, referendum, border poll, Sinn Fein, DUP, reunited Ireland, Brexit, UK.

The article analyzes the process of institutionalization and development of Ukrainian diplomacy from the moment of gaining independence to the present day and the processes of its transformation caused by such significant historical and political events as the Orange Revolution, Euromaidan, hybrid war in Eastern Ukraine, occupation of parts of Ukrainian territory and annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and the large-scale armed aggression from February 24, 2024, to the present.
The article highlights key stages of transformation within the diplomatic service of Ukraine: the establishment of foreign policy, the formation of national diplomatic institutes and also integration processes in international organizations. Attention is focused on the priority principles of diplomacy for independent Ukraine at its various stages.
The main achievements of Ukrainian diplomacy are highlighted, including the negotiation of important international agreements, participation in peacekeeping missions, promotion of European integration, strengthening relations with neighboring states and strategic partnerships. Attention is focused on the emergence of a new type of diplomacy - cyber diplomacy, as a synergy of the real and virtual, where traditional diplomatic methods are combined with innovative technologies to solve complex global challenges.
The challenges and problems faced by Ukrainian diplomacy on its way to asserting its place on the international stage are tracked.
The challenges for diplomacy caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war are examined in more detail. Attention is drawn to the special methods of diplomacy, which are most in demand in the modern world, and which significantly increase the authority and image of states on the international stage, and which are effective in defending national interests.
Based on the conducted analysis, conclusions are made regarding the achievements and prospects for further development of Ukrainian diplomacy, its establishment in the system of international relations in the conditions of the modern conflict-ridden globalized world. It is confirmed that diplomacy remains one of the most effective means for comprehensively building relations between states and other subjects of international relations on a long-term basis ensuring global stability, and promoting conditions for peace and human security.

Perda de desempenho físico e funcional de policiais em decorrência do peso demandado pelos equipamentos obrigatórios: uma revisão narrativa
Authors: Grani Gabriel , Vicente Valdir Natalino
Published: February 2025

A função policial é caracterizada por períodos de sedentarismo intercalados com demandas físicas intensas. O uso obrigatório de equipamentos como cinto de serviço, colete balístico, rádio e armamentos adiciona uma carga que varia entre 3,5 kg e 22 kg, podendo representar até 40% do peso corporal dos agentes. Essa sobrecarga impacta negativamente o desempenho físico e funcional, aumentando o custo metabólico, a fadiga e reduzindo mobilidade, potência e habilidades motoras. Diante desse contexto, este estudo tem como objetivo quantificar detalhadamente o peso dos equipamentos utilizados pela Polícia Militar do Paraná, revisar a literatura sobre o impacto dessa carga no desempenho policial e apresentar estratégias para mitigar seus efeitos. Os resultados indicaram que o peso médio dos equipamentos da corporação é de 10,35 kg e que cada quilograma adicional pode reduzir o desempenho tático em aproximadamente 1%. Além disso, a literatura mostrou que o uso desses equipamentos compromete tarefas como corrida, escalada, transposição de obstáculos e tiro, altera a cinemática da marcha, aumenta a assimetria na distribuição de forças e eleva o risco de lesões musculoesqueléticas. Para minimizar esses impactos, o treinamento físico específico, com ênfase no fortalecimento do core e no treinamento aeróbico, pode reduzir dores musculoesqueléticas e melhorar a capacidade funcional dos policiais. Ademais, uma melhor distribuição da carga nos equipamentos pode contribuir para a preservação da mobilidade e otimização do desempenho operacional.

Authors: Martínez-Pérez Beatriz
Published: February 2025

In the present work, the adsorption of chitosan on PLGA-CLTNPs was studied with the aim of promoting the mucoadhesive
properties of these biodegradable nanoparticles in vaginal tissue.
The nanoparticles were prepared with the diffusion
emulsification technique. The nanoparticles obtained were
resuspended in deionized water, to suspend the nanoparticles in
different amounts of chitosan. The Z potential and particle size
distribution were determined. The amount of desorbed chitosan
was determined through a reaction with the ninhydrin reagent. A
good correlation (r2 >0.94) was obtained with the Freundlich,
Halsey, Henderson and Smith models; these results indicate that
the adsorption of chitosan is through the formation of
multilayers. The maximum amount of chitosan adsorbed on
PLGA-CLT-NPs was achieved with the addition of 28 mg of
chitosan (CTS).

Influence of underlayer on development of chemically amplified photoresist film in tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous developer
Authors: Wang Jiahao , KOZAWA Takahiro
Published: February 2025

The interactions between the underlayer and photoresist significantly affect the dissolution behavior and patterns formed in the photoresist during development. Therefore, it is important to analyze the dissolution behavior of a photoresist with a underlayer. In this study, the dissolution behavior of poly (4-hydroxystyrene) films partially protected with tert-butoxycarbonyl groups and containing a photoacid generator (PAG) and photodecomposable quencher (PDQ) in a tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution is investigated using a quartz crystal microbalance. Triphenylsulfonium nonaflate and triphenylsulfonium salicylate are used as the PAG and PDQ, respectively. The underlayer has a complex influence on the dissolution behavior of the photoresist films during development. In particular, the underlayer significantly affects the formation of the transient swelling layer and dissolution kinetics at an exposure dose close to the photoresist sensitivity, namely, at the critical exposure dose for solubilizing the photoresist films.

Dengue fever is a disease caused by the dengue virus with symptoms: hyperthermia, joint pain, decreased platelets and leukocytes. However, these symptoms also often occur in viral infections in general, so proper assessment is needed in order to provide appropriate care. This case report is a nursing care for a patient with suspected dengue fever. Nursing care is provided by nursing students for 3 days at a private hospital in Jakarta with government health insurance facilities. Data collection was carried out by interviews, physical examination and diagnostic examination. The diagnosis was found: hyperthermia, acute pain, nausea, and risk of bleeding. In making plans, nurses make plans based on the patient's responses and symptoms. During treatment the leukocytes showed leukopenia which indicated a viral infection. Even though platelet values ​​decrease, they never fall below normal values. The nurse educates the patient not to brush his teeth to prevent gum bleeding. The patient was discharged on the third day of treatment with normal platelet values. Platelet values, which are always within normal limits during the treatment period, cannot confirm that the patient has dengue fever. Nursing care is provided based on the response and symptoms that arise in the patient. Regardless of whether the medical diagnosis confirmed is dengue fever, the nursing process is carried out based on the response or symptoms that appear in the patient.

Gastritis is a condition where inflammation occurs in the surface lining of the stomach which can be caused by several factors, one of which is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs. The most commonly used NSAIDs are aspirin, aspirin at a dose of 600 mg/kg can cause acute damage to the stomach. Honey with 30 ml/day or the equivalent of 2 tablespoons provides a gastroprotective effect or protection and healing for stomach damage because it contains antioxidants which reduce the level of damage to the stomach. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant and gastroprotective effectiveness of pure honey in Rattus norvegicus Sprague Dawley rats induced by oral aspirin. This study used a laboratory experimental method which examined the effectiveness of pure honey as an antioxidant and gastroprotective for 11 days. The subjects used were 25 Rattus norvegicus. The results showed that based on histopathological scores, administration of 0.5 mL/kgBB honey for 4 days in experimental animals could significantly reduce gastric damage induced by aspirin 600 mg/kgBB. However, when viewed from the results of the data on GSH levels, there was no significant effect of giving honey on GSH levels in experimental animals.

Carbon Taxation: A Global Scenario
Authors: - Prabhuti Rathore , - Dr. G. Soral
Published: February 2025

Reducing the amount of fossil fuel combustion is essential to lowering the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere that trap heat. By discouraging the use of fossil fuels and promoting the switch to cleaner fuels, a carbon tax might reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas. Carbon taxes can address climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions, but they can also have more immediate positive effects on the environment and human health, especially by lowering the number of fatalities brought on by local air pollution. Additionally, they have the potential to generate large sums of money for governments, which they may employ to offset the negative economic effects of rising fuel costs. The present study focuses on carbon tax policy implantation in different countries. It also studies the share of CO2 emission covered by carbon tax and ETS both globally. ANOVA has been used to test the hypothesis. It was discovered that over time, there was no discernible change in the CO2 emissions that each country's carbon price and ETS covered. This demonstrates that the nations could have comparable goals for reducing emissions or be employing comparable strategies to meet these goals.

Published: February 2025

This study describes the clinical profiles, causes, and long-term outcomes of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in pregnant women at Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC). The investigation aimed to identify risk factors associated with ICH, evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes, and examine correlations between clinical characteristics and patient outcomes. A retrospective descriptive design was employed, reviewing the charts of obstetric patients with confirmed intraparenchymal hemorrhage from January 2015 to December 2023. Data collection focused on demographics, clinical history, and outcomes, with statistical analyses performed to determine significant patterns. The study analyzed 60 cases, revealing that 48% of patients improved or recovered while 52% experienced mortality. Most cases involved women aged 26-40 years, with intraparenchymal hemorrhage (93%) being the most prevalent type. The third trimester presented higher mortality rates (40%), particularly among patients with eclampsia (57%). Emergency cesarean sections (65%) and medical management (57%) were common interventions. Pregnancy-related hypertension emerged as a significant factor impacting maternal outcomes. Fetal outcomes included 47% term deliveries and 10% fetal or neonatal deaths, highlighting the severe implications of ICH during pregnancy. The findings underscore the association of eclampsia, third-trimester presentation, and emergent cesarean sections with higher maternal mortality. Effective management during the third trimester is crucial, particularly for patients with comorbidities such as eclampsia. The nearly equal distribution of maternal recovery and mortality highlights the unpredictable course of ICH in obstetric patients. Diverse fetal outcomes, ranging from term and preterm deliveries to fetal or neonatal deaths, emphasize the dual challenges ICH poses to maternal and fetal health.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental diseases in children. Mothers of children with ADHD struggle with parenting and frequently use arbitrary approaches. Using a non- probability purposive sampling technique and phenomenological qualitative approach, 6 samples of mothers of ADHD children selected and data collected through semi – structured interview. The study explored and revealed five themes totally: They are family support, knowledge, early symptoms, parenting challenges and mental and emotional wellbeing of the mother. Under each themes the sub themes are derived. The theme of knowledge comprises of the reactions of mother includes informed and references. Initial stages and inattentive sub themes come under early symptoms. Under parenting challenges, the sub themes of education, nurturing and guilt of ineffective parenting derived. This study brought out the profound life experiences and challenges faced by mothers of ADHD children. The insights drawn through the semi structured interviews of 6 mothers through phenomenological design highlights the need of the mother and the challenges they face each day. Hence forth there is a need to develop the tailored interventions, resources and support systems to meet the demands and reduce the burden of the mother.

This study explored spatial patterns of overflights at Haleakal? National Park (HALE). Overflights were analyzed from June 3rd, 2020 to March 31st, 2023 using Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data with a total of 689 days of data. Data were collected using two data loggers that were deployed at K?pahulu Visitor Center and near Haleakal? Summit. The first phase of analysis focused on all overflights and found a high concentration of overflights along the flight corridors of commercial airlines and recommended air tour routes per the 1998 Letter of Agreement between Haleakala National Park and the Hawaii Air Tour Association (Maui). The second phase of analysis focused on low-level overflights that fly below 12,500 ft mean sea level (MSL) and within 10 miles of the HALE boundary. The phase 2 analysis includes six figures based on two seasons and show a concentration of flights between 6,501?12,500 ft MSL in and around the Summit District and a concentration of flights between 2,501?6,500 ft MSL in and around the K?pahulu District. The third phase of analysis selected the likely air tours that were flown below 5,000 ft above ground level (AGL) and within 0.5-mile of the HALE boundary. Kernel density analyses were conducted using waypoints segmented into 500 ft above ground level (AGL) altitude intervals from 0?5,000 ft AGL. The altitude interval with the highest density of overflights was 2,501?3,000 ft AGL. Kernel density hot spots were observed above the southern rim of the Haleakal? Crater along the recommended air tour route. The majority of the likely air tours were conducted using rotorcraft and a map displaying their flight pattern is also shown. This information can be used for planning and management purposes and this study serves as a resource for future research that intends to use more advanced analytics.
The construction of Combinatorics concepts evidenced in mind maps

Innovations in teaching practices in higher education are fundamental to promoting opportunities for students to engage in their training process. This study investigated the use of mind maps as an innovative pedagogical practice for the construction of concepts about combinatorics by maths undergraduates. Twenty-five groups of students from a Maths degree course took part in the research, taking an elective subject on the teaching of combinatorics. As a result, it was observed that the different constructions of mind maps provide indications of the breadth, depth and personal notions of combinatorics presented by the groups, which emphasise the following aspects: the limited variety of combinatorial problems, the evidence restricted to the invariant of order and to the representation of formulas. It is clear that these aspects can be remedied by adopting innovative and collaborative teaching practices to produce mind maps on combinatorics, including as an assessment practice.

Este dossiê é uma proposta do GT01, que versa sobre Matemática na Educação Infantil e anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, da Sociedade Brasileira de Educação Matemática - SBEM. Este grupo reúne os pesquisadores brasileiros que têm se dedicado à Educação Matemática para crianças. A partir de 2017, a Base Nacional Comum Curricular consolida a Álgebra como unidade temática da Matemática a ser desenvolvida nos anos iniciais. Trata-se de uma relativa  inovação frente aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, que eram até então vigentes. Esta reforma curricular provoca a discussão sobre o que é e como seria o ensino de Álgebra para crianças. O GT01 tem aprofundado as discussões e avançado em estudos para compreender a Álgebra nos anos iniciais, com a intenção de subsidiar as práticas de ensino e aprendizagem. Neste dossiê propomos uma discussão a respeito dos currículos oficiais para ensino de Álgebra nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Nosso objetivo é apresentar estudos com análises de currículos nos âmbitos municipais e estaduais das diferentes regiões do país e de outros países, no que se refere à Álgebra. A expectativa foi a publicação de artigos que contemplassem pesquisas documentais sobre os currículos oficiais, incluindo, com especial relevância, materiais complementares e orientações pedagógicas que estes documentos apresentam.

Every day a huge quantity of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) waste powder is coming from the composite pipe industries in Oman. This powder is harmful to human beings and aquatic animals. Composite pipe manufacturing industries are struggling a lot with the disposal of waste GRE dust. At present, these GRE waste materials are buried under the ground without affecting the groundwater. Impervious layers are constructed to avoid seepage and protect the groundwater. Composite pipes manufacturing industries are spending huge amounts to save the environment from GRE waste disposal. In this experimental project, GRE waste is added to the concrete to partially replace cement with proportions such as 5%, 15% and 25%. Mechanical properties of concrete with and without GRE waste are investigated like compressive, split tensile strength and bending strength tests experimentally. Experimental results depict that the spilt tensile value of concrete with 5% GRE dust is 6.45% more when compared to the control specimen. Also, compressive and bending strengths of concrete with 5% GRE dust are not much affected and it is almost equal to the control specimen.
When Dengue and Lupus Collide: A Case Report of Overlapping Symptoms Leading to Diagnostic Delay

Published: February 2025

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and dengue fever are two distinct diseases with overlapping clinical presentations, posing diagnostic challenges, especially in tropical regions where dengue is endemic. This case report describes a patient initially diagnosed with dengue fever who was later found to have SLE, highlighting the importance of considering SLE in the differential diagnosis of fever and thrombocytopenia even during dengue outbreaks. A 52-year-old female presented with fever, thrombocytopenia, arthralgia, myalgia, and a rash. She was initially diagnosed with dengue fever based on her clinical presentation and the prevalence of dengue in her community. However, her condition did not improve with supportive treatment, and she developed new symptoms, including shortness of breath and pleural effusion. Further investigations revealed a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test, leading to a revised diagnosis of SLE. The patient responded well to corticosteroid therapy and was discharged after seven days. In conclusion, this case underscores the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with fever and thrombocytopenia in dengue-endemic areas. A high index of suspicion for SLE is crucial, even during dengue outbreaks, to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
