Regulating pension fund investments and the impact of global shocks (evidence of COVID-19)
Authors: Nepp A. N.
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the article is due to the introduction since 01.01.2024 in the Russian Federation of a long-term savings program for citizens as a substitute for the funded part of pension frozen since 2014. The main reason for the freeze was inefficiency of the saving system, namely negative real investment returns. In the article, we consider the activities of state regulator for regulating investment activities of pension funds and its contribution to the effectiveness of long-term saving program being introduced for citizens and whether the created system will be resistant to external shocks such as COVID-19. Applying Markovitz portfolio modeling to leading international stock indices and comparing the results with the data of pension savings investment in the Russian Federation, the article provides findings concerning the need to change the principles of state regulation of pension savings investment in terms of easing geographical and instrumental restrictions. Building on the findings of Nepp et al. (2022) on short-term nature of COVID-19 impact on financial markets, we apply a differential equation in the Cauchy form, used in physical processes for the research impulse effects, to determine the impact of a short-term external shock on the example of the coronavirus pandemic on funded pension systems. It is proved that in case of a long saving period, significantly exceeding the duration of the influence of an external shock, its impact on funded pension systems can be neglected.

Optimization of surgical selection in the treatment of irritation fibroids
Authors: Freire Villena Diana Carolina , Pérez Villalba Luis Darío , Ulloa Poveda Melanie Cristina
Published: May 2024

Irritation fibroma is a benign, non-neoplastic lesion that arises in the oral mucosa due to chronic irritations or trauma. This focal hyperplasia of collagenized fibrous connective tissue typically presents as an exophytic, firm, asymptomatic, pink nodule with a smooth surface and a well-defined border. Removing this lesion not only allows for diagnostic confirmation, it also prevents additional complications, relieves symptoms in symptomatic cases, and improves the patient's aesthetics and comfort. Surgical intervention is the recommended treatment and can be carried out using various techniques, such as conventional surgical excision, laser surgery, electrosurgery and cryosurgery. The choice of surgical method is based on specific characteristics of the fibroid and physician preferences, with conventional surgical excision frequently preferred as it allows complete control over tissue removal. This study details the case of a patient with an irritation fibroma located in the lateral region of the tongue, for which the VIKOR method was used as a multi-criteria decision-making tool to select the most appropriate surgical technique. The final decision favored conventional surgical excision, based on multicriteria assessment that included aspects such as the size and location of the lesion, available resources, risks, and aesthetic results. The management of irritation fibroma must be careful and well-founded, favoring techniques that ensure complete removal of the lesion with minimal complications and ensuring adequate postoperative follow-up to evaluate the patient's evolution and prevent recurrences

Published: May 2024

Introduction: low back pain is a condition that affects a large number of workers, especially those who perform tasks that require constant physical effort and postures in uncomfortable positions such as in the dairy industry. This type of pain can be caused by various factors, such as repetitive movements, manual manipulation of loads and forced postures during work, which overloads muscles, irritates nerves or wears out joints that can ultimately lead to disability. Objective: to analyze the effect of neuromuscular facilitation on low back pain experienced by workers in dairy factories. Methods: quasi-experimental study, with longitudinal design and quantitative approach in two study groups (FNP and control) assigned by convenience and selected under inclusion and exclusion criteria. The level of disability associated with low back pain, pain intensity and health-related quality of life were measured, both before and after the intervention. Results: significant reduction between measurements of the study group compared to the control group in pain intensity (0,04), level of disability associated with low back pain (0,01) and improvement in the level of health-related quality of life. While in the comparison between groups after the intervention, significant differences were obtained in the intensity of pain (0,000), level of disability associated with low back pain (0,000) and improvement in the level of health-related quality of life. Conclusions: FNP in dairy factory workers reduces low back pain, disability and improves quality of life by strengthening the core, stabilizing the spine and reducing the load on the lower back, which benefits performance and prevention of recurrent injuries

Published: May 2024

Introduction: headaches and neck pain are common symptoms, which are usually managed effectively with conventional treatments. However, in some cases, its resolution is prolonged, leading to chronic problems that affect well-being and autonomy, also decreasing the quality of life of the individuals who suffer from them. Although there is a high recurrence of symptoms without being resolved, in short, the relationship between headache and neck pain with the
stomatognathic system and specifically the presence of third molars has not yet been investigated in depth.
Objective: determine the relationship between the presence of third molars and the development of recurrent headaches and neck pain.
Methods: the headache perception questionnaire and the cervical disability index were applied to 30 dental patients with the presence of third molars, both symptomatic and asymptomatic.
Results: it was found that 30 % of the patients had erupted third molars, 20 % retained and 50 % extracted. Most of the participants were between 18 and 25 years old. Jaw pain associated with headache was identified, triggered mainly by chewing, with a sensation of pressure, intermittent and of moderate intensity. As for neck pain, it did not significantly affect daily activities and manifested with moderate intensity. Correlation analyzes showed a p value of 0,551 for headaches and 0,009 for neck pain.
Conclusions: the condition of the third molars does not influence the appearance of headaches, but it does influence the appearance of recurrent neck pain.

Companies are increasingly compelled to evaluate all dimensions of product performance in order to maintain competitiveness in the face of global market challenges. Maintainability is a crucial aspect of product performance. Maintainability refers to a product's economical and efficient ability to undergo maintenance. Maintenance is necessary for the proper functioning and longevity of several durable items. Adopting maintainability design factors during the first stages of the design process can reduce maintenance expenses, minimize maintenance time, and enhance safety measures. In this paper, the steam boiler is studied and how to improve its maintainability through design factors to make it more maintainable. In order to reduce the time required to perform maintenance and thus reduce the system's downtime and make it available for a longer time, thus increasing production. The case study adopted in this paper is the steam boiler of the thermal power plant in south Baghdad. A study of the steam boiler was conducted, and maintainability was calculated according to the data obtained from the station. A part of the boiler was chosen to improve its maintainability, which is the air heater, as it is the most essential part due to its frequent malfunctions. A study was conducted on the air heater and its parts. The overhead crane was developed by suggestion into an improved design as a tool for accessibility, considered an important design factor for ease of access and handling and, at the same time, for the safety of maintenance workers. This improvement reduced from 24 to 48 hours of repair time for each fault, and the results after calculating the maintainability of the steam boiler after the improvement showed that it increased from 48,5 % to 53,5 %, i.e., an increase of 5 %

Integration of Mental Spaces on the Example of the Cultic Milieu's Concept "Bigfoot"
Authors:   Penza Theological Seminary, Fadeev Andrew
Published: May 2024

The aim of the study is to test the method of conceptual integration of mental spaces for the Cultic Milieu’s concept "bigfoot". The article focuses on the fact that the concept acts as a mental representation of the corresponding fragment of the surrounding reality as a dynamic structure of knowledge. A feature of the above example is cognitive fiction, which, nevertheless, has a stable vitality in the discourse of unconventional religiosity. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the initial mental spaces, their integration and the isolation of new emergent properties that contribute to maintaining the concept in a homeostatic state. As a result of the study, it was determined that the method of conceptual integration could be effectively used in interpreting cult concepts from the field of unconventional religiosity.

Church buildings in pre-revolutionary Russia served as centers of ritual and social activity. The most active villagers united around them and played an essential role in maintaining the village's ecclesiastical infrastructure. While discussing the anti-religious politics enforced after 1917, researchers highlight its ideological component. The presence of this aspect is beyond doubt, but in the current paper we see the closure of the Orthodox churches as a part of the social politics of the new government, aimed at building «Soviet society» as opposed to the pre-Revolutionary system of social institutions. The subtraction of church buildings as a physical representation of the old order was an inseparable part of this policy. In this paper, we analyze the strategies of the local Soviet authorities aimed at closing the churches in the villages of Small Uzen’, Mironovka, Aleksashkino, and Piterka (the modern Piterka district of Saratov region). The paper’s aim is twofold: we seek to first reconstruct the chronology of events that led to the churches’ closure. Second, we aim to trace the strategies, methods, and practices used by local authorities to destroy civilecclesiastical social structures through the seizure of church buildings. Another important aim of our study is to highlight the resistance shown by village communities and document the names and individual stories of the people connected to the ecclesiastical infrastructure. The research uses previously unknown documents from the state archives of the Samara and Saratov regions, the archive of the Administration of the Federal Security Service in the Saratov region, supplemented by villagers’ memories.
Contrasting the Treatment-Related Perceptions of Parents and Their Children: Using Data from Child and Adolescent Brief Mental Health Services Recipients in Canada
Authors: Ellenbogen Stephen , Power Keith B. , J. Hair Heather , Kirkland Smith June , Hynes Brothers Kristen
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Discrepancies between parental and child perceptions of problems and their therapeutic expectations can negatively impact mental health treatment efficacy. Aims: We sought to explore concordance and discrepancy in families receiving brief, client-centered, and strengths-based mental health services, specifically by contrasting parents’ and children’s perceptions of the child’s presenting issues; treatment expectations; and levels of concern pre- and post-treatment. We also examined the psychometric properties of a therapeutic scaling question on the level of concern, by examining associations with scores from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Methods: Using a mixed-methods approach, we examined data from openand closed-ended questions, some used as part of the treatment. This included brief descriptions of perceived presenting issues and treatment expectations, and levels of concern on a scale of 1 to 10. Results: Parent and child descriptions of issues were judged generally congruent 66% of the time. Respectively, minor and major non-congruence was observed 25% and 9% of the time. In terms of treatment expectations, parents were more likely to express a desire to understand the issues and improve communication in the family. Children were more likely to express no expectancies or respond with simple statements (e.g., feel better). Parents initially rated their children’s problems as more severe than did their children. We found that the scaling question demonstrated a modest association with the level of concern from the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Conclusions: Even though most parents and their children broadly agree on presenting mental health issues for which they seek counseling, important differences manifest in how they perceive them and what they want accomplished during sessions. Practitioners need to consider, assess, and accommodate such discrepancies.

Authors: Lim Su Mi , Hwang Hae Shin
Published: May 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the impact of maternal parenting anxiety on young children’s emotional intelligence, as well as the mediating effect of father-child interaction on their relationship. To achieve this, we examined how maternal parenting anxiety is perceived in father-child interaction and elucidated the pathway leading to young children’s emotional intelligence.Methods: The study participants included 372 pairs of mothers and fathers of five-year-old children enrolled in 50 daycare centers located in Seoul and metropolitan areas, and 81 daycare teachers. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were conducted using SPSS 23.0. The PROCESS macro version 3.4 was used to verify the mediating effect.Results: Firstly, maternal parenting anxiety did not directly affect the children’s emotional intelligence. Second, father-child interaction mediated the relationship between maternal parenting anxiety and children’s emotional intelligence. Based on these results, it was found that low levels of maternal parenting anxiety can induce high levels of children’s emotional intelligence through father-child interaction.Conclusion: Based on these results, it is necessary develop a plan to promote healthy functioning of the mother-father variables influencing young children’s emotional intelligence. In particular, father-child interaction was found to significantly affect children’s emotional intelligence. This indicates that it is possible to alleviate maternal parenting anxiety and enhance positive father-child interaction by improving healthy parenting values and skills and establishing common child-rearing goals.

Evaluating the Impact of Developer Experience on Code Quality: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Lopes Jefferson G. M. , Oliveira Johnatan , Figueiredo Eduardo
Published: May 2024

The relationship between developer experience and code quality continues to provoke extensive debate and diverging interpretations in software engineering. To investigate this subject, we conducted a systematic literature review and identified 18 relevant papers from which we aim to answer an overarching research question: to what extent does developer experience impact on code quality? Our analysis reveals different definitions and dimensions for both developer experience and code quality, highlighting the complexity and multifaceted nature of their relationship. We also observed contradictory results on the impact of developer experience on code quality. This literature review contributes in two key ways. First, it synthesizes various perspectives on developer experience and code quality, offering a consolidated viewpoint of the current academic work. Second, it uncovers significant gaps in our understanding of the relationship between these two concepts, pinpointing areas for further research and emphasizing the needs for more focused studies to bridge these knowledge gaps.
