Atheism and Agnosticism
Authors: Huff Peter A.
Published: September 2023

An overview essay and approximately 50 alphabetically arranged reference entries explore the background and significance of atheism and agnosticism in modern society.
This is the age of atheism and agnosticism. The number of people living without religious belief and practice is quickly and dramatically rising. Some experts call nonreligion, after Christianity and Islam, the third largest "religion" in the world today. Understanding the origins, history, variations, and impact of atheism and agnosticism is crucial to getting a grasp of the meaning of the present and gaining a glimpse of the future. Exploring some of the most extraordinary people, events, and ideas of all time, this book provides a fair, comprehensive, and engaging survey of all aspects of contemporary atheism and agnosticism. An overview essay discusses the background and social and political contexts of unbelief, while a timeline highlights key events. Some 50 alphabetically arranged reference entries follow, with each providing fundamental, objective information about particular topics along with cross-references and suggestions for further reading. The volume closes with an annotated bibliography of the most important resources on atheism and agnosticism.
BASE Jumping
Authors: Laurendeau Jason
Published: September 2023

This in-depth exploration of the history and culture of the sometimes illegal activity of BASE jumping provides historical and current information as well as a glimpse into the incredible adrenaline rush of the sport.

BASE jumping is an extreme sport that has gained significant popularity. To date, there are over 1,400 jumpers who have earned their "BASE number," which means that they have jumped from a building, an antenna, a span, and a terrestrial point. And at least one BASE jumper is planning to attempt landing from a BASE jump without a parachute. BASE Jumping: The Ultimate Guide examines the history, subculture, and technologies associated with BASE jumping. Additionally, it considers what the relatively new expansion of this activity means within the context of how our society considers danger and risk.

After an introduction, its chapters cover BASE culture and ethics, the sport's origins and current developments, techniques and equipment, sites and events, pioneering jumpers and icons of the sport, and future directions. The author—a former skydiver and BASE jumper himself—draws from careful research as well as interviews with current BASE jumpers to both provide historical context and represent the voices of those participating in the activity.
Boomers 3.0
Authors: Samuel Lawrence R.
Published: September 2023

Capitalizing on what is arguably the most important social phenomenon of our time and place―the aging of America―this book shows organizations how to market specifically to baby boomers in their third act of life.

The graying of America is undeniable, with an estimated 10,000 boomers turning 65 every day. But to dismiss the baby boomer generation as a group no longer worth marketing to would be foolish. According to the Census Bureau, in 2029―the year when the last boomer will have turned 65―there will still be more than 61 million boomers, roughly 17 percent of the projected population of the United States. Boomers will still be the wealthiest generation in the United States until at least 2030, according to the Deloitte Center for Financial Services, with their share of net household wealth to peak at 50.2 percent by 2020.

Boomers 3.0: Marketing to Baby Boomers in Their Third Act of Life describes how to market to baby boomers from a cultural perspective, specifically addressing the demographic group of baby boomers in their later adulthood―a period that will continue for the next two to three decades. The author uses the term "3.0" to indicate the baby boomers' third phase of life and explains how this third act of life will differ from earlier periods; accordingly, organizations should take a different approach to marketing to them than in the past. This book offers a way to contextualize business objectives within a culturally based, forward-thinking framework that fully leverages the opportunities presented by what is perhaps the biggest and most affluent customer base in history. Readers will be able to use the strategies described to map territories to stake and mine in targeting boomers, create meaningful relationships with individuals in this group, and communicate effectively with boomers to offer them products and services.

Breast Cancer Facts, Myths, and Controversies
Authors: Finkel Madelon L.
Published: September 2023

This book, written for the layperson, provides evidence-based material explaining the complex and evolving evidence of the benefits and limitations of breast cancer screening and the advances in breast cancer treatment. A diagnosis of breast cancer is one of the most emotionally charged statements a woman can hear from her doctor. Understanding the rapid changes in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment is challenging, especially for those without a medical background. This book will help explain the strengths and weaknesses of breast cancer screening, breast cancer treatment, and ways of coping with the disease (for oneself or a loved one). Written for the layperson, this text explains the history of disease prevention with a specific emphasis on breast cancer detection and treatment. The main chapters weigh the pros and cons of well-known but often mystifying screening tests, such as mammograms; discuss the benefits and side effects of targeted hormone therapies; consider holistic regimens that complement traditional medicine; and explore the mental, physical, and emotional strain caused by breast cancer. Concluding with the current breast cancer screening guidelines recommended by leading organizations in disease prevention, Breast Cancer Facts, Myths, and Controversies not only engages with the history of breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, it looks ahead to a brighter future for survivors.
Building News Literacy
Authors: Bober Tom
Published: September 2023

Every upper-elementary and middle school educator can teach news literacy and connected literacies, including text, visual, graphic, and video literacy, using this book. This book suggests that news literacy is made up of several other literacies and skills that must not only be explored across the subject areas, but also connected to students' real-world consuming and sharing habits. A series of lessons, some using technology, lay a foundation for building these multiple literacies and skills. While not meant to be a complete program, the lessons provide a holistic experience and are adaptable to personalize students' learning. The author melds strategies for finding and making meaning from information, the multiple literacies that young consumers of news must be familiar with to navigate news and other information, and the digital skills necessary to navigate today’s news options. Whether students encounter news in the firewall-protected classroom or pushed out to them on their phones, the series of lessons encourage them to give pause and ask important questions as they move beyond simply consuming to become critical readers of the news.
Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy
Authors: Moore Randy , Decker Mark , Cotner Sehoya H.
Published: September 2023

A unique chronology with entries describing the key events in the 3,000-year conflict between religion and science over the explanation and definition of life on Earth.

Exhaustively researched and authoritative, Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy does what no other work does: it examines the conflict between the religious and scientific views of life on Earth in its full 3,000-year historical context, showing readers how this roiling debate has played out over the centuries.

With hundreds of entries, Chronology of the Evolution-Creationism Controversy describes specific cultural, religious, and scientific events relevant to the evolution-creationism controversy from the first notions of creationism in ancient Egypt to the present. Within this historical approach, it identifies a number of recurring themes that have shaped the debate through the ages, including famous court cases, the recurrence of the “intelligent design” argument, disagreements over the age of the Earth, and the impact of technological advances on both the scientific and faith-based viewpoints. While approaching the subject globally throughout, the book's second half focuses on tensions between science and religious thought in the United States since the early 1900s.
Church and State
Authors: Ryden David K. , Polet Jeffrey J.
Published: September 2023

This thoroughly annotated document collection gives students and researchers an authoritative source for understanding the evolving political and legal relationship between church and state from colonial times to the present day.

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Establishment Clause, meanwhile, declares a position of neutrality not only between differing religions, but between religious and nonreligious beliefs. The terms of the Free Exercise Clause, however, provide special protections to religious belief and practice. Thus the provisions of the two clauses can clash. In fact, differing political and legal interpretations of these clauses have resulted in some of the most hard-fought and contentious philosophical battles in American history.

This book provides readers with convenient access to pertinent documents and court cases that enables a deeper understanding of the past and current balance between church and state and its political implications in the 21st century. The expert commentary that accompanies these key documents serves to elucidate how interpretation of the U.S. Constitution affects issues such as whether public funds or other public support should go to religious-based schools or hospitals; how to safeguard individuals' rights to religious expression while also considering how individuals should not be forced to participate in mandatory religious expressions in public institutions; and how the language regarding "separation of church and state" came about, when this phrase does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.
Classic Horror
Authors: DeLong Anne
Published: September 2023

A valuable resource for readers exploring the classic horror genre, this book presents primary source documents alongside analysis in an examination of the social, political, and economic factors reflected in 19th century Gothic literature.

The nineteenth century was a time of social, cultural, and economic change; revolutionary scientific developments; and enduring imaginative works. This book explores the classic horror genre of Gothic literature in its historical and social contexts. It contains chapters on four major works of classic horror, with each chapter providing a mix of background information, primary source historical documents, and analysis that will appeal as much to high school and college students as to lovers of literature and the Victorian era.

Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is contextualized through documents pertaining to British imperialism, Antarctic Exploration, and the burgeoning environmentalist movement. Shelley's Frankenstein is explored through sections on galvanism, electricity, grave robbing, and the vitalist debate. Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is read through explanations of nineteenth-century drug use and addiction and early theories of psychology and criminology. Stoker's Dracula is studied with reference to such topics as mesmerism, clairvoyance, alienism, medical ethics, xenophobia, and Victorian pseudoscience.
Climatology versus Pseudoscience
Authors: Nuccitelli Dana
Published: September 2023

Although some politicians, pundits, and members of the public do not believe it, global warming predictions by mainstream climate scientists have been remarkably accurate while those made by climate deniers have not. And if mainstream global warming predictions continue to prove correct, the window of opportunity to prevent a climate catastrophe is quickly closing. This book is the first to illustrate the accuracy—and inaccuracy—of global warming predictions made by mainstream climate scientists and by climate contrarians from the 1970s to the present day. Written in simple, non-technical language that provides an accessible explanation of key climate science concepts, the book will appeal to general audiences without previous knowledge about climate science.

Author Dana Nuccitelli, an environmental scientist and risk assessor, discusses some key climate discoveries dating back to the 19th century and debunks myths such as the idea that climate scientists and climate models have grossly over-predicted global warming. He addresses recent findings of a 97-percent consensus in the peer-reviewed scientific literature that humans are causing global warming—a nearly unanimous agreement that formed in the early 1990s and has grown through the present day. Nuccitelli also discusses what the future climate might look like if current trends continue unabated, and what we as a global society need to do to prevent a climate catastrophe.
The College Affordability Crisis
Authors: Hillstrom Laurie Collier
Published: September 2023

This volume provides a comprehensive and evenhanded overview of the escalating college affordability crisis in the United States. It explains how higher education became so expensive and explores the implications of high college loan debt for students and American society.

The 21st Century Turning Point series is a one-stop resource for understanding the people and events changing America today. Each volume provides readers with a clear, authoritative, and unbiased understanding of a single issue or event that is driving national debate about our country's leaders, institutions, values, and priorities.

This particular volume is devoted to the issue of the rising cost of higher education in the United States. The expense of pursuing a college degree has become so high for so many students, in fact, that the country is experiencing what many educators, economists, parents, and students describe as a college affordability crisis. This work provides an accessible, accurate account of the factors driving this trend, including dramatic reductions in higher education spending by states; for-profit colleges; predatory, unscrupulous, and lightly regulated student loan service companies; and spiraling spending by colleges and universities competing to attract students.
Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels
Authors: Petersen Robert
Published: September 2023

This text examines comics, graphic novels, and manga with a broad, international scope that reveals their conceptual origins in antiquity.

Graphic narrative art is a fascinating phenomenon that emerged centuries ago with the expansion of literacy and the publication industry. The earliest example of a repeating comic character dates back to the late 1700s. By following the growth of print technology in Europe and Asia, it is possible to understand how and why artists across cultures developed different strategies for telling stories with pictures.

This book is much more than a history of graphic narrative across the globe. It examines broader conceptual developments that preceded the origins of comics and graphic novels; how those ideas have evolved over the last century and a half; how literacy, print technology, and developments in narrative art are interrelated; and the way graphic narratives communicate culturally significant stories. The work of artists such as William Hogarth, J. J. Grandville, Willhem Busch, Frans Masereel, Max Ernst, Saul Steinberg, Henry Darger, and Larry Gonick are discussed or depicted.

Complete Guide to Open Scholarship
Authors: Martin Victoria
Published: September 2023

Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2023Offers librarians an authoritative overview of the full spectrum of significant issues and controversies related to open scholarship in a candid and fair-minded manner.

There has long been a debate about openness in scholarship, and even the term itself continues to be debated. Openness is a complex and multidimensional concept, and its nature in scholarship continually evolves. One of the hindrances to the transition to greater openness in academia is this lack of clear understanding about how it fits into the practice of scholarly communication.

To ensure that librarians as knowledge managers can better educate scholars about the benefits and challenges of open scholarship, Victoria Martin'sThe Complete Guide to Open Scholarshipbrings clarity to the concept of openness, tests assumptions concerning it, and strikes the right balance between breaking down complex ideas into simpler ones and honoring the reader's intelligence and previous knowledge of the subject. Readers will learn the history of openness in scholarship as well as several ways in which openness can be perceived. Drawing on specific examples, Martin discusses the most prominent scholarly models based on openness, barriers to openness, concerns about openness in scholarship, and the future of open scholarship.
Crime Wars
Authors: Battersby Paul , Siracusa Joseph M. , Ripiloski Sasho
Published: September 2023

This expert analysis addresses the many interconnections between political violence and crime, including the transnational crimes of non-state actors and the international crimes of states.

How crime is defined goes to the heart of the boundaries drawn between legitimate and illegitimate use of force; between violence and non-violence; between legality and criminality. Crime Wars: The Global Intersection of Crime, Political Violence, and International Law presents a well-balanced, introductory analysis of this critically important subject, addressing the many points of intersection between political legitimacy, law, political violence, and criminal activity.

This thought-provoking work examines the criminalization of the developing world, opening up debate about the nature and cause of acts that transgress laws, rules, and social norms. Acknowledging the subjective nature of crime, it nevertheless urges readers to ask difficult questions about why law-abiding persons and states sanction rule infringement, law breaking, and amoral policy. Perhaps most importantly, the authors assess structures of global and regional governance, including legal regimes and major international non-governmental agencies, to offer unique, historically grounded insights into security challenges and the ways in which global crimes and wars can be addressed in the 21st century.
The Criminalization of Immigration
Authors: McNamara Robert Hartmann
Published: September 2023

Presents the history of immigration to the United States; its criminalization under the Trump administration; debates over criminalization; effects on immigrants, U.S. residents, and the U.S. economy; and this country’s relationships with other nations.

This book offers a comprehensive understanding of past and current immigration policy in the United States and exposes falsehoods in the rhetoric and narrative portraying Latino and Mexican immigrants in the U.S. Much support for intensified immigration enforcement and deportation is based on repeated statements by federal officials, including the U.S. president, that immigrants pose a threat to national security, contribute to crime, and take jobs away from native-born residents. The evidence has consistently concluded that these narratives are inaccurate.

This text examines white nationalism as a backdrop to understanding the rationale behind current immigration policy and tactics. It examines how political and economic factors, broadly defined as neoliberal policies, shape the immigration narrative. It addresses the criminal justice system’s applicability to immigration, law enforcement efforts, problems with immigration courts and judges, and how the detention of immigrants is part of a larger mass incarceration of people of color. Finally, the text offers insight into the reasons for massive migration, with the U.S. contributing to the problem by supporting regimes that endorse or allow humanitarian crisis.

Dietary Supplements
Authors: Goldstein Myrna Chandler , Goldstein Mark A.
Published: September 2023

This accessibly written book examines the most commonly taken dietary supplements, exploring what they are and what they're purported to do, and summarizing key research findings regarding their potential health benefits and risks. Today, more than 50 percent of Americans take at least one type of dietary supplement regularly. But do these products actually work? How are they regulated? Are there any potential health risks?

Dietary Supplements: Fact versus Fiction examines the most commonly used non-nutrient supplements (those that are neither vitamins nor minerals and not essential for human health). Using a standardized structure, each entry discusses a particular supplement's origins, purported benefits, potential risks, and common dosage. Summaries of key research studies are included to help readers make informed decisions about supplements' usefulness.

Introductory materials give readers a foundational understanding of how supplements are regulated and labeled and offer practical information about how to read a Supplement Facts panel. For those interested in supplements for a particular health complaint (such as fatigue or pain), a topic finder has also been included.
Explorers of the American East
Authors: Chaves Kelly K. , Walton Oliver C.
Published: September 2023

Focusing on ten key figures whose careers illuminate the history of the European exploration of North America, this book presents compelling first-person narratives that bring to life the challenges of historical scholarship in the academic classroom.

Explorers of the American East: Mapping the World through Primary Documents covers 280 years of North American exploration and colonization efforts, ranging geographically from Florida to the Arctic. Arranged thematically and mononationally, the work focuses on a selection of 10 explorers who represent the changing course of North American exploration during the early modern period. The use of biography to narrate this history draws in readers and makes the work accessible to both a specialized and general audience. The dozens of primary source documents in this guided source reader span travel accounts, autobiographies, letters, official reports, memoirs, patents, and articles of agreement. This wide variety of primary sources serves to bring to life the failures and triumphs of exploring a newly discovered continent in the early modern period.

This work focuses on ten explorers, including those who are well known, including John Cabot, John Smith, Jacques Cartier, and Samuel de Champlain, as well as discoverers who have slipped from our modern historical consciousness, such as George Waymouth, John Lawson, and J.F.W. Des Barres. The documents that narrate the voyages of these adventurers are arranged chronologically, vividly telling the story of historical events and presenting different voices to the reader. This variety of viewpoints serves to heighten readers' critical engagement with historical source material. The vast variety of primary source materials present students with the opportunity to read and engage critically with different types of historical documents, thereby growing their analytical skillsets.

Pests
Authors: Piper Ross
Published: September 2023

This single volume describes the animals that are most injurious and costly to humans, examining the important roles of these pests throughout history and the implications of the never-ending wars we wage against the natural world.

From mosquitoes to nematodes to mice, there are a multitude of organisms and animals that pose major health risks, cause economic burdens, and even threaten famine conditions for human civilization. Addressing these problems is often extremely costly and only partially effective.

Pests: A Guide to the World's Most Maligned, Yet Misunderstood Creatures presents an overview of the animals that have the greatest impact on our lives, from the creatures that eat our crops through the ones that invade our homes and those that transmit diseases. Each entry provides a brief history of our interactions with the specific pest, methods of management or eradication for the pest being discussed, and an extensive Further Reading list that includes resources on both the biology of the pest and methods of control. The author explains the complexity of the worldwide pest problem and demonstrates how some of these issues are a result of human over-population and shortsightedness, inviting readers to consider our place in nature and how other animals have adapted to and benefited from the growing human population.
BESTECİ AKIN ÖZKAN’IN HAYATI ve TERKİB ETTİĞİ EVC-İ ŞEVK MAKAMINDAKİ KÂRININ MÜZİKAL ANALİZİ
Authors: AKDENİZ Serap
Published: September 2023

ÖZ

Akın Özkan tanburiliği, besteciliği ve eğitimciliği ile döneminin en önemli geleneksel Türk sanat müziği temsilcilerindendir. Geleneksel Türk sanat müziğine Sadun Aksüt’ten aldığı tanbur dersleri ile başlayan Özkan, İstanbul’un en önemli derneklerinde ve belediye konservatuvarlarında müzik çalışmalarını devam ettirmiştir. TRT İzmir ve Ankara Radyosu’nda tanburi ve koro şefi olarak görev aldığı sırada yapmış olduğu besteler, zamanının en tanınmış solistleri tarafından plaklara okunmuştur.

TRT’den emekli olduktan sonra İzmir’de kurulan Ege Üniversitesi Devlet Türk Msusikisi Konservatuvarı’nın ilk eğitimcilerinden olarak eğitimciliğe başlayan Özkan, eğitim odaklı ve idealist bir eğitimci olarak, öğrencilerine katkı sağlaması amacıyla bestelerinden oluşan beş kitap yayımlamış, alanlarında yetkin birçok öğrenci yetiştirmiştir. “Devr-i Ervah” adlı 16 zamanlı bir usul ile “Evc-i Şevk” adlı bir makam terkip etmiş, aynı makamda bir fasıl bestelemiştir.

Çalışmanın evrenini tanburi, besteci ve eğitimci yönüyle Akın Özkan oluştururken, terkip ettiği evc-i şevk makamı ve bu makamda bestelenen en büyük sözel tür olması açısından evc-i şevk kârının tür ve biçim analizi de çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada tarihsel yöntem, biyografik analiz ve doküman analizi yöntemlerinden faydalanılmıştır.

Tür ve biçim analizi Onur Akdoğu’nun yöntemi ile yapılan kârda, Evc-i şevk Kâr’ın biçim kurgusunun A+B+C+D+E+B’ olarak, beş bölümlü dönüşümlü bir biçimde bestelendiği elde edilen bulgular arasında yer almıştır.

Kantemiroğlu’nun Edvârı’nda kârların usulleri ve güfte özellikleri ile ilgili bulgularla, Özkan’ın kârı arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar belirlenmiştir; Özkan’ın terennüme büyük önem vererek geleneğe bağlı kaldığı, usul ve güfte seçimlerindeki farklılık ile de gelenekten ayrıldığı gözlenmiş, bunun sonucunda kâr türündeki besteciliğine ilişkin değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.

Akın Özkan’a ilişkin yeterli akademik çalışmanın olmaması sebebiyle yapılan bu çalışma, onun sanatçı kimliğine ve terkip ettiği evc-i şevk makamına dikkat çekerek, geleneksel Türk sanat müziği alanında çalışan müzik insanlarına katkı sağlamak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
A PRODUÇÃO DE APLICATIVOS RELACIONADOS À SISTEMATIZAÇÃO DE ASSISTÊNCIA DE ENFERMAGEM
Authors: Nascimento Júnior Francisco José do , Souza Adriano Rodrigues de , Souza Sarah Maria Feitoza , Florêncio Raquel Sampaio , Pinheiro Francisca Fernanda Alves
Published: September 2023

Este artigo é parte da dissertação de mestrado intitulado: Construção e validação de um aplicativo design para a orientação da sistematização da assistência de enfermagem. O profissional de saúde tem assumido novos papéis frente às novas exigências na área. Os enfermeiros, por sua vez, necessitam mobilizar competências gerais necessárias ao gerenciamento do cuidado realizado pela categoria, considerando as mudanças tecnológicas e gerenciais observadas em hospitais, rede de atenção básica, unidade de pronto atendimento entre outras entidades voltadas à saúde (BERNARDINO; FELLI; PERES, 2010). A metodologia da pesquisa traz a revisão integrativa de literatura para consolidar o trabalho, baseando-se em artigos que tragam a utilização da SAE em programas. Segundo Prodanov e Freitas (2013), a revisão integrativa tem como objetivo colocar o pesquisador em contato direto com todo material já escrito sobre o assunto da pesquisa. Em relação aos dados coletados na internet, devemos atentar à confiabilidade e fidelidade das fontes consultadas eletronicamente. A seleção dos artigos resultou em 452 artigos depositados na Base de dados da Bdenf, Lilacs, Medline e Scielo.  . Este estudo evidenciou que a implementação do processo de enfermagem em alguns artigos surge de forma generalista, visto que, eles evoluem o processo de enfermagem sem identificar a teoria a ser trabalhado, o que favorece uma sistematização da assistência incompleta. Considera-se importante enfatizar que a teoria é importante para o processo e a sistematização da assistência da enfermagem, no entanto, ela não é utilizada com frequência, sendo negligenciada tanto pela produção do aplicativo como pelo profissional. Uma das hipóteses para que isto ocorra é que este profissional possa não ter um conhecimento aprofundado sobre as teorias e de maneira ampla abrangem a assistência ao cuidado, o que não é correto, ou mesmo pela demanda excessiva de trabalho que impede que o profissional veja a melhor teoria a ser aplicada naquele paciente.

The frequency and nature of cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances in children and adolescents with electrocardiographic syndrome of early ventricular repolarization were studied. It has been determined that cardiac rhythm and conduction disturbances in patients with early ventricular repolarization syndrome are quite common, with a predominance of arrhythmias caused by a change in the automatism function of the sinus node and the presence of intraventricular blockades. It was revealed that in children with this electrocardiographic phenomenon, in the vast majority of cases, there are manifestations of the syndrome of connective tissue dysplasia - minor anomalies in the development of the heart – 84.1%, (p < 0.001), and additional chords are most often recorded in the cavity of the left ventricle – 85.6% (p < 0.001), both isolated and in combination with other anomalies and congenital heart defects. It was found that cardiac rhythm and conduction disturbances in patients with electrocardiographic syndrome of early ventricular repolarization are quite common (78.6±1.84%), with a predominance of cases of arrhythmias caused by changes in the automatism function of the sinus node (p < 0.001) and the presence of intraventricular blocks. In children and adolescents with early ventricular repolarization, additional chords are most often recorded (85.6%, (p < 0.001)), both isolated and in combination with other heart anomalies. The data obtained indicate the presence of a relationship between the early ventricular repolarization syndrome and connective tissue dysplasia, which makes it possible to attribute this electrocardiographic syndrome to the conditions associated with this syndrome.

The response to drug therapy is determined by the genetic characteristics of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the human body. The study of the relationship between genetic factors and the resistance of patients with severe outcome is necessary to understand the causes of the formation of this endophenotype of schizophrenia. Our analysis showed a more frequent combination of a severe outcome of schizophrenia with alleles of genes that control the peripheral metabolism of xenobiotics and cause the pharmacokinetic processes of antipsychotic therapy.

The aim of the work was to develop a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the physical development of conscripts. Based on anthropometric studies of body length and weight, lung capacity, chest circumference, as well as dynamometry of the strength of the flexor muscles of the fingers of the right and left hands using the method of sigma deviations and multivariate regression analysis, a method was developed for a comprehensive assessment of the physical development of conscripts based on growth indicators, body weight, chest circumference, spirometry and carpal dynamometry. The application of the proposed methodology will improve the effectiveness of measures to preserve and improve the health of this category of servicemen.

The article presents the results of the analysis of family-legal and civil-legal aspects arising from relations in the application of assisted reproductive technologies (hereinafter referred to as ART). The analysis of the legal regulation of germ cell donation, legal problems of anonymity of donors was carried out. The provisions of a number of international acts served as the normative base for the study. These provisions include the final documents adopted at the UN International Conference on Population and Development and the IV UN World Conference on the Status of Women [1, 2]. An analysis of the legislation regulating the use of ART in the Republic of Belarus was carried out. The subject of the research is also the legislative regulation of the use of ART in foreign countries, the works of scientists in the field of medicine and jurisprudence. The studies were carried out on the basis of traditional methods of scientific research of state-legal institutions, the use of methods for interpreting civil law norms contributed to the study of aspects of the topic, the empirical base of the study was the acts of the judiciary on the issues under study, the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.Important data for the study were obtained through a survey of doctors providing services using ART in Minsk (conducted by the author). To reveal the social attitudes of the use of in vitro fertilization (hereinafter referred to as IVF) among people suffering from infertility, a survey was conducted at the personal request of people suffering from infertility (conducted by the author). The proposals and conclusions formulated in the article can be used in law-making activities aimed at improving the legislation on ART in the Republic of Belarus, as well as in the process of teaching civil and family law of the Republic of Belarus in educational institutions.
