Situačno-motivačné faktory tabakového správania: predstavenie a pilotné overenie dotazníka
Authors: Rojková Zuzana , Démuthová Slávka
Published: September 2023

Problem and objective: The use of tobacco products by youths is social and health problem, while a current trend of the spread of other products besides cigarettes is registered, which appear to be less dangerous, but the opposite is true. Practice points out that group interventions do not have demonstrable effectiveness, and it is necessary to focus attention on situational multifactorial research. The paper aims to present the original Questionnaire on situational-motivational factors (SMF) of tobacco behavior (smoking), and the results of the pilot verification of its reliability and factor structure. It is a modified version of the questionnaire for SMF created for alcohol behavior (Rojková, Vavrová, 2017).

Published: September 2023

This study aims to provide preliminary evidence of the concurrent and structural validity of a novel instrument to measure students’ attitudes toward school subjects. This new tool uses interactive software and measures attitudes less directly by asking students to change different visual features of objects displayed in a virtual three­ ­dimensional space, thereby expressing their attitudes metaphorically (popularity/liking through size, importance through size, difficulty through weight, and relationship with a teacher through temperature). The results of this novel method were compared and related to the semantic differential, an already established instrument that is frequently used in the context of school evaluation and focuses on connotative meanings. The study was carried out on a sample of 147 Czech primary school students who rated three school subjects: Czech, English, and mathematics. We used structural equation modeling to analyze the measurement structure of both instruments and the relationship between them. The results showed that a single dominant factor (popularity/liking) can explain the majority of the variance shared between items. However, residual correlations suggested that two other factors are at play, namely importance (measured by the visual metaphor of size) and difficulty (measured by the visual metaphor of weight). The results did not support a three­‑factor structure of the semantic differential, which is proposed by the theory of the instrument, since only two semantic differential items appeared to measure something different from popularity/liking. Furthermore, the visual metaphor of distance was the best indicator of popularity/liking, and although other metaphors related to popularity/liking as well, they showed discriminant validity in relation to other metaphors, as evidenced by their pattern of residual correlations with the semantic differential items. In summary, the results support the concurrent validity of the novel instrument utilizing interactive metaphors and also the discriminant validity of individual metaphors but question the proposed factorial structure of the semantic differential.
El pensamiento del Después de Auschwitz y el colonialismo. Una interpelación desde C. R. L. James y Aimé Césaire
Authors: Rodríguez Soriano Roberto Israel
Published: September 2023

En este artículo se hará una exposición de las bases teóricas sobre la postura adorniana del Después de Auschwitz, cuyo análisis se centra en lo que esta establece sobre la modernidad, la racionalidad occidental y la Ilustración, así como la interpretación sobre las implicaciones de Auschwitz. Con base en estos planteamientos, se propone una contraposición de ideas a través de una exposición de la perspectiva crítica a la modernidad y la racionalidad occidental que elaboraron dos importantes autores afrocaribeños en la década de los cincuenta: Aimé Césaire y C. R. L. James. Ambos autores, en sus respectivas críticas, tratan el problema del nazismo. Sin embargo, a diferencia de la postura adorniana del Después de Auschwitz, el punto de partida de los pensadores afrocaribeños no es el nazismo, ni Auschwitz, sino la esclavitud y el colonialismo que las naciones europeas emprendieron en todo el mundo y que, de acuerdo con ellos, implicaron el inicio del despliegue de la violencia moderna.
Nueva literatura de migración femenina latinoamericana escrita en Europa: la reformulación del estigma social en Mujeres Migradas de Cinthya Maldonado
Authors: Basáñez Barrio Endika
Published: September 2023

A lo largo del presente artículo nos disponemos, en primer lugar, a difundir la aparición de un corpus actual de literatura de migración escrita por mujeres de origen latinoamericano en Europa, si bien fundamentalmente en España, para detallar sus particularidades y vincular así su existencia con el aumento de la presencia migrante y la feminización de los flujos migratorios desde Latinoamérica hacia el país ibérico. Así pues, podremos apreciar cómo en los textos aparece una hegemonía de materiales narrativos de índole cultural y, de manera más precisa, una minuciosa descripción de las relaciones de verticalidad surgidas entre el grupo cultural de poder al que intenta integrarse la mujer migrada en su nuevo medio y aquel del que esta procede. Por último, las teorías del investigador canadiense Erving Goffman actuarán como marco teórico frente al testimonio procedente de la experiencia de la escritora migrante de origen hondureño Cinthya Maldonado, recogido en su obra Mujeres Migradas (2018), para examinar, en última instancia, la resignificación del estigma social que emerge del contacto entre sendos grupos culturales imposibilitando así la integración de la desplazada en su nueva realidad, así como la aparición colateral de violencias físicas y simbólicas.
Geometría de la dualidad en El invierno de los jilgueros de Mohamed El Morabet
Authors: Gnaoui Younes
Published: September 2023

Las nociones de desierto, mar, horizonte y doble desempeñan una importancia sustancial en El invierno de los jilgueros de Mohamed El Morabet. Los cuatro motivos logran diseñar y disponer una sutil geometría de tensiones dicotómicas que vertebran la compostura narrativa de la novela. El presente artículo se propone acercar las manifestaciones que cobran tales motivos, con  el fin de presentar una lectura interpretativa del significado que adquieren dentro de la obra. El objetivo principal es dar cuenta de los mecanismos de articulación de esos motivos que van urdiendo en la trama narrativa una atinada y discreta cartografía de dualidades y simetrías, de cara a polarizar el sentido global del texto novelístico.
On Conway’s Brussels Sprouts
Authors: Bezdek Andras , Gilroy Haile , Henderschedt Owen , Lakhani Alason
Published: September 2023

John Horton Conway stood out from many famous mathematicians for his love of games and puzzles. Among others, he is known for inventing the two-player topological games called Sprouts and Brussels Sprouts. These games start with n spots (n crosses resp.), have simple rules, last for finitely many moves, and the player who makes the last move wins. In the misère versions, the player who makes the last move loses. In this paper, we make Brussels Sprouts colored, preserving the aesthetic interest and balance of the game. In contrast to the original Sprouts, Colored Brussels Sprouts allows mathematical analysis without computer programming and has winning strategies for a large family of the number of spots.
Visnu’s Cakra as Narrative Weapon in the Skandapurana
Authors: Dokter-Mersch Sanne
Published: September 2023

The Skandapurana is one of the earliest Puranas, with a strong Saiva message throughout the entire text. It promotes devotion to Siva and narrates stories about Siva, his relatives and followers. It does not, however, deny other gods. At least six narratives concern Visnu and his deeds. Three of these are manifestation myths, narrating Visnu’s conquest of the Asuras. For its retellings, such as Visnu’s manifestation myths, the Skandapurana combines known narrative elements with new characterizations, features and scenes. This is not only observable in the stories as a whole, but also on the level of narrative details. In this article, I will show this by studying one of Visnu’s primary weapons, the cakra, ‘discus’. The description of the cakra sometimes agrees with those in other texts, such as its fiery appearance and its quality of returning to its owner. At the same time, there are various new characterizations, for example the fact that it originally belongs to or comes from Siva. With the help of a theory referred to as narrative consistency, I will explore the reasons behind the inclusion of known elements and the introduction of new elements, as well as the reasons behind a combination of the two.
Freedom from the world and freedom in the worlds
Authors: Killingley Dermot
Published: September 2023

Interpretation of the UpaniSads has occupied scholars from ancient times to the present, and ancient interpretations have influenced modern scholars even if they are not committed to any Vedantic school. This article looks at the history of interpretation of Katha Upanisad 6.4, which speaks of embodiment in worlds after death. Because such embodiment seems contrary to received ideas, this verse has been subject to conjectural emendations, or to interpretations which are difficult to reconcile with the text. The article looks at earlier Vedic ideas about existence after death, and some later ideas, and attempts to show that the apparent meaning of the verse is consistent with such ideas.

A relação educativa entre artes plásticas e audiovisual é complexa e rica, pois envolve a interação entre duas formas de expressão criativa que têm suas próprias linguagens e técnicas, mas também compartilham pontos de conexão e influência mútua. Neste artigo vamos explorar essa relação em alguns detalhes, tais como o compartilhamento de princípios visuais como a composição, equilíbrio, forma e espaço são fundamentais tanto nas artes plásticas quanto no audiovisual. A compreensão desses princípios em uma disciplina pode enriquecer a abordagem na outra. Apropria-se ainda da Narrativa Visual permitindo aos educandos explorar diferentes maneiras de transmitir mensagens, emoções e significados. Este artigo apresenta brevemente a relação e troca de mensagens e significados entre ambas linguagens.
Educação Ubique: para além do broadcast
Authors: Penalber Mônica
Published: September 2023

A proposta deste artigo é apresentar uma reflexão sistêmica da educação, buscando entender o educar no processo de formação do cidadão em um país-continente como o Brasil. Nesse recorte, procurou-se destacar a importância da educação a distância considerando a ideia de que a educar a distância vai além do broadcast, daí surge o conceito “ubique de educar” cujos pilares são: autonomia do indivíduo, aprendizado ao longo da vida e conexão com o mundo real. Discute-se ainda, a distinção entre nativos digitais e imigrantes digitais, apresentando o conceito de “e-migrantes digitais” como aqueles que transitam entre os mundos analógicos e digitais. Isso contribui para a compreensão do conceito de educação ubique, que não diferencia a educação presencial e a distância, e ressalta a importância de promover uma aprendizagem mais autônoma e significativa.
Assessment of soil-water vulnerability to salinization in Ben Tre province using DRASTIC model
Authors: Thanh Le Ngoc , Dao Van Tuyet , Lam Van Tan , Nguyen Quang Dung , Luu Hai Tung
Published: September 2023

Soil water in the coastal zones is more vulnerable to salinization. Soil-water vulnerability assessment is an effective tool for soil-water management. This study used the DRASTIC model, which is based on seven factors viz: depth to soil water, recharge, soil-water bearing layer, soil media, topography, impact of root zone, and hydraulic conductivity to evaluate soil-water salinization potentiality of Ben Tre province. The obtained soil-water vulnerability map is divided into three vulnerable zones: low vulnerability zone with 348.59 km2 of total area, moderate vulnerability zone with 1898.77 km2, and high vulnerability zone having 147.64 km2. Moreover, the DRASTIC model was validated by Total dissolved solids (TDS) over the study area. Validation results showed the low vulnerability zone of the moderate saline (TDS = 1,500–7,000 mg/L), while the moderate vulnerability zone of the moderate, high, and very high saline (TDS = 1,500–35,000 mg/L). However, the high vulnerability zone has a very high saline (TDS = 15,000–35,000 mg/L). The study results are of considerable value to land use planning and soil researchers.
Assessment of the changes in the structure of mangroves based on stand age in Bang La, Hai Phong, Vietnam
Authors: Pham Quang Van , Nguyen Linh Manh , Vu Hung Manh
Published: September 2023

The mangrove forest area in Bang La (Hai Phong) is 370 ha, and tree density is 5,885 individuals/ha, distributed along the upper bank of the Van Uc River with high tidal flats. Detected 20 species of mangrove plants belonging to 19 genera, 16 families, and two divisions. The survey results show that the Bang La mangrove forest ecosystem has three forest types, the forest community is older than 15 years old, the forest community is from 10 to 15 years old, and the forest community is less than 10 years old. Kandelia obovata, Sonneratia caseolaris, and Rhizophora stylosa, is the dominant plant species. In each forest biome of different ages, there are different dominant species. The general composition formula for the study area is 47.2 Ko + 46.9 Sc + 1.8 Ks + 2.1 Ai + 2.0 Ac. The paper results showed that the more than ten years mangrove community is a stable forest biome. Mangroves from 10 years old should be planned with different species to increase the diversity in species structure and enhance the ability to stabilize the community and withstand changes in coastal habitats.
Application of MIKE model for simulation of wastewater dispersion in the project of eco-tourism and residential areas of Rach Tram - Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam
Authors: Vu Van Lan , Nguyen Hong , Bui Dac Thuyet , Ngo Tra Mai
Published: September 2023

This study aims to explore the transmission of pollutants from the domestic wastewater of the Rach Tram - Phu Quoc eco-urban project. To achieve this, the Ecolab module of the Mike model is employed. The dispersion of pollutants is influenced by both hydraulic and wind conditions. Notably, under southwest wind condition, the dispersion of pollutants is considerably more pronounced compared to that observed during the Northeast monsoon. Pollutant concentrations exhibited a tendency to move upstream along the Rach Tram river during high tide, while during low tide periods, they tended to move towards the sea. The results of the study indicated that concentrations of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Ammonium (NH4+), and Total Phosphorus (TP) in the Rach Tram river and its estuary were found to be 3–8 times higher than the defined standard of Vietnam. However, when appropriate wastewater treatment measures were implemented (scenario 2), the levels of pollutants were observed to be lower the permissible environmental protection standards.
STORAGE STABILITY OF ADN: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES (A SHORT REVIEW)
Authors: Sehajpal Jayashri , Kumar Pratim , Singh Sunil Kumar , Adak Prasanta Kumar , Karmakar Srinibas
Published: September 2023

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is a green oxidizer that has the potential of replacing ammonium
perchlorate in solid propellants and hydrazine in liquid propellants. ADN can also be used in gun
propellants. Therefore, research continues to be carried out on ways to incorporate ADN in propellant
compositions. Consequently, it is imperative that stable storage systems for ADN are put in place
before it can be safely used in any of the aforementioned applications. The present paper gives a short
review of the prospects and challenges with respect to the stable storage of ADN, such as high hygroscopicity,
autocatalytic decomposition, photosensitivity, and the effect of impurities. These challenges,
if mitigated, can lead to stable long-term storage of ADN.
An Overview of Personal Loans in the U.S.
Authors: Flagg Jessica N. , Hannon Simona M.
Published: September 2023

Personal loans used for a variety of purposes, such as debt consolidation, medical bills, vacations, or the payment of a large ticket item, reached $356 billion or about 10 percent of nonrevolving consumer credit at the end of 2022. Although depository institutions such as banks, thrifts, and credit unions dominate the personal loan market, finance companies, institutions that typically lend to nonprime consumers, hold nearly a fourth of these loans. This paper provides an overview of this nascent but relatively understudied sector of the United States credit market.
EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENERGY CONSUMPTION, ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND CARBON EMISSIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE N-SHAPED ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE: NEWLY INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES (NICS)
Authors: İNCİ Tuğba
Published: September 2023

Climate change and environmental degradation have become an issue that has focused on the whole world in recent years. In many studies on this subject, the existence of an inverted U-shaped Kuznets Curve has been analyzed. In this study, a model was established to analyze the N-shaped Kuznets Curve in order to see the long-term position of the relation between economic growth andenvironmental degradation. New industrialized Countries (NICs), which have a substantial effect on world carbon emissions, are also discussed in the study. Panel data analysis was used to examine the relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth over the period from 1970 to 2019.In the analysis, first of all, the cross-section dependence (CSD) was tested and it was decided that the second-generation tests would be continued according to the results. In the subsequent Westerlund hand-integration analysis, it was concluded that there was co-integration between the series and that they would act together in the long run. Finally, the CCE method, which is one of the long-term estimators, was used and analyzes were carried out by establishing three different models. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that energy consumption positively affects carbon emissions, the existence of an inverted U-shaped Kuznets Curve for the entire panel and the existence of an N-shaped Kuznets Curve throughout the panel could not be proven.

Isolation of rest of the trypsinized stem cells from empty cell culture flasks with CD90 specific magnetic beads v1
Authors: Bhatia Sudhir
Published: September 2023

In all laboratories working with the stem cells, it is common practice to isolate these cells with help pf trypsin solution because these cells are grown on the plastic surface of cell culture flasks as well as plates. The stem cells like mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSC) adhere to the plastic surface, which is one of their important properties. After trypsin solution treatment, the cells can be detached from their plastic surface and go into the solution. The user centrifuges such solution to get the pellet of these cells. After that the plastic flasks are observed under the microscope to find whether all cells are detached from the surface fully. Once there are no attached cells, the flasks are thrown away as waste. In our laboratory, we found if PBS is added to these empty flasks, there are a lot of stem cells still inside. The stem cells grow slowly and have limited number of growth cycles. Most of the times, user needs a huge number of cells for the performance of different applications. Such stem cells may be a limiting factor to conduct these experiments. We used CD90 magnetic beads to isolate the rest of trypsinized stem cells swimming in the PBS in such empty flasks and used such cells to grow them again in the new cell culture flasks as well as plates along with using them to conduct other experiments. Principle of this method is to use MSC specific marker magnetic beads, which will attach on the surface of MSC. They are pulled out with the magnetic field in a magnetic rack. CD90 is one of important markers of MSC.
MOTHERHOOD AND WAR: EXISTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND ETHICAL CONFLICTS
Authors:   Kryvyi Rih National University Ukraine, ТSYMBAL Tetiana
Published: September 2023

The article presents the results of a study of the problem of fulfilling maternal responsibilities during war. The attention is focused on the different roles that mothers play during the war, on possible responses of motherhood to the challenges of war. It is emphasized that war is a breaking point for society and for each family, a test of morality and nobility of the human spirit. A just defensive war is viewed as an ethical and existential challenge that provides a tragic opportunity to reveal moral qualities, leading to the rise of the spirit, in conditions when the aggressor is trying to brutally destroy them. It is noted that gender issues in wartime were considered in feminist discourse since the mid-twentieth century. Traditionally, researchers have focused on such women's roles as anti-militarists, women victims, women volunteers, and women soldiers. It is emphasized that a woman can play several roles during war, changing her attitude to events, the degree of activity, and the priority of roles. The role multiplicity of mothers remained on the outskirts of humanitarian discourse. The article emphasizes that mothers perform different roles in wartime, depending on the age of there children, the territory of residence, the attitude to the military service of an adult child, etc. A woman mother immanently assumes responsibility and the burden of sacrifice, the degree of which has a specific historical character and is significantly increased in the conditions of hostilities. The role variants of mothers are considered not as deterministic, but as teleological, as those that depend on the system of ethical qualities of a woman. The roles of a mother who serves in the army, a volunteer mother, and a mother who saves young children are given as examples. However, the greatest attention is paid to the mothers of soldiers. The author analyzes the historical tradition of the possibilities of using the influence of mothers on mobilization, on organizing assistance to the army, and on supporting the spirit of the military. It is argued that, despite the nine-year experience of the Russian-Ukrainian war and positive examples of modern Ukrainian mothers of soldiers, sacrifice and high morality will never be widespread, but there may be more conscious mothers, and the attitude towards soldiers and their families may become more respectful. It is emphasized that maternal responsibility is a worthy response to the existential challenges and ethical conflicts caused by war, so further research on these issues in the multidisciplinary humanitarian discourse is important.
A Teacher Facing Educational Changes: Language Teaching in a Secondary School Using Coursebooks Published by the Operon Publishing House (the Description of the Good Practice)
Authors: Janicka-Szyszko Renata
Published: September 2023

The article presents opportunities and challenges connected with teaching the mother tongue in contemporary secondary schools in Poland. The subject of reflection is the concept of language teaching included in the newest core curriculum for high schools, technical schools, and vocational schools as well as its implementation in the series of coursebooks (7 volumes) published by the Operon Publishing House in 2019–2022. Both the school content and the detailed realization in coursebooks as well as additional materials reflect the tendencies in contemporary didactics. The adopted solutions functionalizing the language knowledge and shaping the students’ language skills were analyzed. There have been pointed out difficulties that the authors of coursebooks and Polish teachers encounter while not being able to identify the detailed school content in the core curriculum. The suggested conclusions are to complete the content described in the core curriculum by giving more details about set readings. That way, students would be informed about issues in the areas of language teaching in accordance with the current language scientific knowledge.
Selected Contemporary Social Threats in the Discourse of Social Pedagogues
Authors: Maliszewski Wojciech Jan , Frąckowiak Przemysław
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The article provides a descriptive and illustrative overview of selected social threats concerning the theoretical, methodological, and methodical advancement of research in social pedagogy. An essential element of the article’s content is the assumptions of James S. Coleman’s theory of social capital, Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, and Aaron Antonovsky’s salutogenesis. Research Aim: The authors’ attention is focused on the diagnosis of the relationship between the specific and traditional present in the research of social educators’ dimensions of social threats and the views of social educators on their aetiology, significance for social reality, and thus determinants of the psychosocial existence of modern man, and finally the possibilities of overcoming these threats. Evidence-based Facts: In the traditionally understood causative paradigm of social pedagogy, the emphasis is primarily on solutions focused on using resources that naturally constitute the environment of human social participation. However, the text highlights the possibility of supplementing this paradigm with selected indications of the concept of social capital, logotherapy and salutogenesis in counteracting existential emptiness and the loss of the sense of the meaning of life. Summary: Such an approach allows for a deep, multidimensional insight into the issue of social threats. As a result, it provides knowledge about characteristic relationships between variables that condition the occurrence, differentiation, and development of social threats. This, in particular, offers an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of interventions carried out in the daily professional practice of social pedagogues.
The Image of the Polish Children’s Book at the Turn of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Boguszewska Anna Izabela
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Polish children’s literature grew out of a close relationship between literature and pedagogy, which took place at the beginning of the nineteenth century, in a difficult political and economic situation for Poles due to the continuation of the partition regime. The cultural development of the nation is connected with the upbringing of the young generation. In the nineteenth century, the Polish book was introduced as a means of education. Research Aim: The aim of the research used in the article was an attempt to reconstruct the image of the Polish children’s book at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, taking into account two research problems. They concern the aesthetics and educational messages of reading recommended for the youngest readers. These areas of research are quite sparsely represented. Methods and techniques of historical research were used. Evidence-based Facts: Polish children’s literature developing during the partitions of Poland was studied by a group of Polish researchers: literary scholars, bibliologists, pedagogues and historians of education. However, this research area is unexploited, constituting a rich material for new research searches. Summary: The conducted analyses show that in the years preceding regaining independence, two educational positions dominated children’s literature. The first concerned building a patriotic attitude, the second emphasized pragmatism and realism of everyday situations. A number of examples of books for children that confirm these conclusions have been analyzed. The formation of patriotism in children included the transmission of glorious historical pages from the history of the Polish nation, awakening an affirmative attitude to native nature present in key editions for young readers at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Everyday life is presented mainly by images of family, children’s games and instructive stories, adventures from the life of peers. The aesthetics of the children’s book of the discussed period fits into the style in force at that time, based on the pursuit of a masterful typographic arrangement. The uniqueness of the illustrations, especially colorful, as can be assumed, were a strong reinforcement of the impact of the message.
School as a Childhood Place. Experience of 3rd-Grade Elementary School Students
Authors: Lulek Barbara
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Childhood is a very important stage in life, during which a child defines itself and its life undertaking numerous activities, initially in the family environment and later in school. School is one area of children’s existence in which everyday life concentrates for many years. The article presents images of childhood spent in school, referring to occupied places and undertaken activities. Research Aim:The study’s aim was to learn about the experience of 3rd-grade students connected to school as a childhood place. Method: The research was carried out in the paradigm of qualitative research, constructed on narrative interviews. Researchers used friendly methods of collecting data when examining children. The respondents created artworks which became reference introductions to the interview. The 3rd-grade students described their school’s reality and experience. Results: Coded empirical data enabled to identify categories depicting school as a childhood place. Taking into account security, attractiveness, activity and identity, they were named as follows: school as a place for children’s games, school as a place to learn with others, school as a place of building identity and school as an untamed place. Conclusions: Research shows that school is a place where the personal treatment of a child is not always dominant in terms of an active self-regulatory person. For some children this is an area related to experiencing their own lonely individuality.

Introducción: las dinámicas poblacionales, la carga de enfermedad y los cambios estructurales político-económicos han impulsado al estado colombiano a buscar la integralidad en los procesos de atención en salud, en tal propósito definió la implementación de rutas integrales de atención en salud (RIAS). Objetivo: comprender la percepción de la experiencia que tienen los líderes de proceso en entidades sanitarias referente a la implementación de las RIAS en Cauca, Colombia. Método: estudio cualitativo, inductivo, con enfoque de fenomenología interpretativa. El grupo de estudio estuvo conformado por siete líderes de proceso de entidades sanitarias. Resultados: los entrevistados sienten que la implementación es un proceso difícil, determinado por la voluntad y compromiso de los actores sanitarios. Los cambios de administración generan discontinuidades afectando avances en las rutas de la que ellos son responsables. Perciben desarticulación en la implementación, limitados recursos, deficiencia administrativa, de infraestructura y talento humano, principalmente especialistas en salud. Discusión: la percepción de las experiencias denota lo que varios autores han descrito en relación con tensiones en procesos de implementación y gestión en salud: inaccesibilidad, discontinuidad y fragmentación de servicios; débil autoridad sanitaria, enfoque curativo e intereses económicos. Conclusiones: desde su experiencia, los líderes del proceso perciben las RIAS como un fundamento estratégico que favorece la atención integral en salud, sin embargo, existen vacíos en la implementación originados de procesos administrativos, financieros y del propio modelo de salud, restringiendo el cumplimiento del propósito para las cuales fueron creadas. A la vez, perciben sentimientos de impotencia y desesperanza, dificultades y tensiones en el ejercicio de la implementación.

Our research tended to explore the biological roles and expression status of circ_00091761 in HF after MI. The hypoxia reoxygenation (H/R) injured H9c2 cells model was constructed to simulate HF after MI. The expression of circ_0091761 was examined in H/R injured H9c2 cells by qRT-PCR. Then, the effect of circ_0091761 expression on the proliferation of H/R injured H9c2 cells was evaluated by CCK-8 along with TUNEL assay. Secretion of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), Fe2+, glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured to evaluate cell ferroptosis of H/R injured H9c2 cells, along with protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and transferrin receptor protein (TFRC). Luciferase reporter as well as RNA pull-down assays revealed the binding relationship between miR-335-3p and circ_0091761 or ASCL4. Circ_0091761 was upregulated in H/R injured H9c2 cells. Knockdown of circ_0091761 promoted cell proliferation and suppressed ferroptosis of H/R injured H9c2 cells. Interestingly, circ_0091761 sponges miR-335-3p to upregulate acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) expression. miR-335-3p inhibitor attenuated the effects of circ_0091761 knockdown on cell proliferation and ferroptosis in H/R injured H9c2 cells. Additionally, upregulated ACSL4 abrogated elevated miR-335-3p-induced effects on H/R injured H9c2 cells. Circ_0091761 inhibited cell proliferation and accelerated ferroptosis of H/R injured H9c2 cells by sponging miR-335-3p to upregulated TFRC axis. Therefore, Inhibition of circ_0091761 may protect against HF after MI.

The threat of misuse of personal data in Indonesia is increasing, in particular since the government introduced the electronic identity card (e-KTP) program and plans for the police to use it to build the Indonesian Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (INAFIS). However, the plan was eventually canceled by the police because seen overlapping with the e-KTP program. Then the government records personal data, and the private sector such as banks and telecommunications service providers also records the data. The purpose of this paper is to analyze electronic data protection which has become a Cyber Cream in the current era of globalization as well as What is the review of the criminal policy formulation in the electronic data protection effort. With method writing normative juridical. In conclusion, writing This is b a form of legal protection that should be given to victims of criminal acts that have not yet been regulated by Law No. 11 of 2008 related to Information and Electronic Transactions in Indonesia. One of the most common crime threats today is the theft of personal information, in which other people's important data is stolen. As well as the approach to preventing and handling crime by using penal means is a "penal policy" or "penal law enforcement policy" which is carried out through several stages, namely: formulation of legislative policies, application of judicial policies, and execution of executive or administrative policies.

Introduction. Corporations today are the basis of any state’s economy, and within the framework of corporate governance, key strategic decisions are made that determine the fate of corporations. Accordingly, the problem of corporate governance risk management is one of the key economic problems, as it affects the interests of not only the participants of corporate relations, but also a huge number of economic agents. Theoretical analysis. The article presents the views of Russian scientists on the characteristics and classification of corporate governance risks, defines the property and non-property risks of corporate governance, considers the causes of their occurrence, as well as the mechanisms of influence on the corporation, its participants, creditors, public law entities. Also, a distinction is made between the objectively existing normal business risk and the predominantly subjective risks of corporate governance. Empirical analysis. Based on statistical data on bringing controlling persons to subsidiary liability, it is shown that the number of bankruptcies of Russian companies due to the manifestation of corporate governance risks is steadily growing. Results. The author’s typology of corporate governance risks, characterized by their relationship and interdependence is developed. Property and non-property risks of corporate governance are identified, the impact of which on the activities of Russian corporations is currently the most significant. Among them are those to which it is possible to adapt in the modern conditions of doing business. It is concluded that in the process of managing corporate risks based on the use of corporate law institutions existing in Russia and their combinations, it is impossible to nullify completely the occurrence and manifestation of the risks in question. Nevertheless, to ensure the necessary mutual control of the corporate relations subjects, limiting their ability to act in bad faith and unreasonably to the detriment of the company, is quite an achievable task.
