Introduction/Objective: The resilience and emotional intelligence of teachers are crucial in order to face the daily educational challenges. To determine the association between teacher’s emotional intelligence and resilience during Emergency Remote Learning. Method: A quantitative approach and a cross-sectional predictive non-experimental design were used. Participants were 1329 teachers from Chilean schools. The WLEIS Emotional Intelligence Scale and the RS-14 resilience scale were used. Spearman correlation analyses and Yuen’s test were used for the comparative analysis by sex, and in the case of comparison by specialty the one-way ANOVA test was used; multiple regressions were performed. Results: High levels of resilience and between medium to high emotional intelligence; significant, positive and high relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience. Both in the emotional regulation variable and in the emotional intelligence variable significant differences were found regarding sex and specialty. The results of the predictive model with all emotional intelligence variables as predictors explained 43.5% of the observed variability of resilience. Conclusion: During the pandemic, teachers’ emotional intelligence and resilience are essential for facing the educational adversities and challenges that arise as a consequence of a context susceptible to constant and deregulatory change.

Published: June 2022

We describe 7 cases of splenic smooth muscle tumors in dogs. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that 6 cases were diagnosed as splenic leiomyosarcoma and 1 case as leiomyoma. All dogs underwent splenectomy without chemotherapy, and one of them was euthanized 2 months after surgery because of hepatic metastasis. Of the remaining 6 dogs, 5 died in the postoperative period and only one dog survived > 4 years. The median survival of the 6 dogs was 16.9 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detailed study on splenic smooth muscle tumors in dogs in Korea.
Pharmacoeconomic rationale for switching patients with rheumatic diseases from original biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs to biosimilars in context of the Russian healthcare system
Authors: Kulikov A. Yu , Serpik V. G. , Lila A. M.
Published: June 2022

Objective: to analyze the pharmacoeconomic efficiency of biosimilars in context of national healthcare system.

Material and methods. Based on the developed interactive pharmacoeconomic model, we made an analysis of the impact on the budget of treatment with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) were analyzed separately, within the framework of the study a cost-effectiveness analysis of bDMARD and tsDMARD therapy was performed to determine the preferred alternative in RA.

Results and discussion. The performed pharmacoeconomic analysis confirmed the research hypothesis on the economic feasibility of transferring patients with rheumatic diseases (RA, PsA and SpA) receiving original bDMARDs to biosimilars in the context of Russian healthcare system. According to the cost analysis, biosimilars, except for infliximab, are characterized by comparatively less cost of a treatment course than the original drugs. The results of the budget impact analysis and cost analysis prove the economic feasibility of switching patients from original bDMARDs to biosimilars. At the same time, the parameters of the current and planned distributions entered in the calculations of the analysis of the impact on the budget, indicate the need of the professional community and patients for a wider use of innovative original bDMARDs that are under patent protection. At the same time, in the context of budgetary constraints, switching to biosimilars remains perhaps the only available strategy for increasing the coverage of patients with innovative drugs. It has been established that the etanercept biosimilar (ETC) Erelzy® has the lowest cost-effectiveness value. At the same time, ETC is characterized by the highest clinical efficiency, which makes it possible to determine the specified ETC biosimilar as strictly preferable from the point of view of the cost-effectiveness analysis.

Conclusion. It can be assumed that in the absence of medical contraindications, switching of RA patients to ETC from other bDMARDs will be accompanied by better control of the disease, and the presence of biosimilars of ETCs, including the drug Erelzi®, which are among bDMARDs with the lowest cost of treatment course, will save funds, that can be rerouted to extend the coverage of patients with bDMARDs or increase the proportion of innovative bDMARDs.

Bio-Fuel Market: Hypothetical Scenarios
Authors: Dominguez Andrade Juan Manuel
Published: June 2022

This paper employs the Ivaldi-Vibes algorithm to model the U.S. gasoline market under the hypothetical scenario in which the ethanol production subsidies were phased out from 1995- 2005. Under this hypothetical situation, the individuals were not only willing to switch their consumption decision, but they were also willing to consider alternative modes of transportation including public transportation, biking or walking. As a result, the outside alternative market share increased about 4% and 6% and the conventional gasoline market shares increased while the ethanol blends experienced decreases across all petroleum districts. This methodology also permitted simulating the impact of this elimination on the gasoline prices. The conventional gasoline prices increased in a range between 0.12 and 1.34 percent. Finally, since different types of oxygenates are blended with the regular gasoline to compliance the EPA regulations, the reduction in the reformulated gasoline market shares implied a trade off in the demand for these oxygenates whose variation rates averaged 55.14% for the ethanol-MTBE ratio.

La industria del calzado argentina bajo Los dos primeros gobiernos peronistas (1946-1955)
Authors: Kabat Marina
Published: June 2022

En este artículo estudiamos cómo afectó la política económica de los dos primeros gobiernos peronistas a la industria del calzado. Concentramos nuestro análisis en tres ejes principales: el abastecimiento de maquinaria, el comercio exterior y la política crediticia. Cabe señalar que la industria del calzado hacia el inicio de la presidencia de Perón había iniciado un proceso de exportaciones que es pronto interrumpido. Para realizar este trabajo analizamos diversos tipos de fuentes empresariales: libros de empresas, balances; corporativas, publicaciones de la Cámara de la Industria del Calzado y gubernamentales. Creemos que esto aporta tanto a la historia de la economía y la industria, como a profundizar el análisis político sobre las relaciones entre los empresarios y el gobierno peronista. A su vez, el estudio de este caso permite interrogarnos sobre las posibilidades y límites que experimentaban los países latinoamericanos en el contexto de la segunda posguerra para desarrollar una industria exportadora.

Testing the Causes of a Levee Failure Using Bayesian Networks
Authors: Garcia-Feria William Mauricio , Colmenares Montañez Julio Esteban , Hernandez Perez German Jairo
Published: June 2022

Context: Forensic geotechnical engineering aims to determine the most likely causes leading to geotechnical failures. Standard practice tests a set of credible hypotheses against the collected evidence using backward analysis and complex but deterministic geotechnical models. Geotechnical models involving uncertainty are not usually employed to analyze the causes of failure, even though soil parameters are uncertain, and evidence is often incomplete. Method: This paper introduces a probabilistic model approach based on Bayesian Networks to test hypotheses in light of collected evidence. Bayesian networks simulate patterns of human reasoning under uncertainty through a bidirectional inference process known as “explaining away.” In this study, Bayesian Networks are used to test several credible hypotheses about the causes of levee failures. Probability queries and the K-Most Probable Explanation algorithm (K-MPE) are used to assess the hypotheses. Results: This approach was applied to the analysis of a well-known levee failure in Breitenhagen, Germany, where previous forensic studies found a multiplicity of competing explanations for the causes of failure. The approach allows concluding that the failure was most likely caused by a combination of high phreatic levels, a conductive layer, and weak soils, thus allowing to discard a significant number of competing explanations. Conclusions: The proposed approach is expected to improve the accuracy and transparency of conclusions about the causes of failure in levee structures.
ON PROCESSING NOISY CONTRAST IMAGES
Authors:   South Ural State University (national research university), Surin V.A.
Published: June 2022

The problem of noise reduction at sharp transitions of brightness in digital noisy contrast images is considered. In addition to the useful signal, digital images obtained by digitizing an analogue signal with a digital photo matrix have a noise component. Moreover, to obtain a digital image in the standard RGB color model, a demosaicing interpolation algorithm must be applied to the image obtained from a digital photo matrix. Due to such transformations, the Gaussian distribution of noise in a digital noisy image is violated. Using a standard image digitization model for noise reduction is not effective. For more effective noise reduction, the digital image is transferred from the RGB color model to the HSV or LAB color model, where the brightness and color components of the digital noise can be filtered separately. Color noise is suppressed in the color channels of the image using a Gaussian filter. Noise reduction in the brightness channel of a digital image is more difficult task, especially at the edge of sharp transitions of brightness. To suppress the brightness noise in contrast images, it is proposed to use a nonlinear filter based on the generalized method of least absolute values (GMLAV). The process of smoothing the contrast noisy transition by the GMLAV-filter is described, and its efficiency is shown in comparison with the median filtration.
ON A PROBLEM OF CONTROLLING A MOVING CART WITH ELASTIC ROD

Published: June 2022

This article discusses the problem of controlling the process of longitudinal oscillations of an elastic homogeneous rod of uniform cross section. A rod is understood as a body, the length of which significantly exceeds its cross dimensions. The rod is on a moving cart, the right end of which is rigidly fixed, and the left end is not fixed. There is no friction between the rod and the cart surface in the problem under consideration. When the cart moves, the rod performs constrained longitudinal oscillations in a noninertial frame of reference associated with the cart. The control is the acceleration of the cart, the magnitude of which is limited. The boundaries of its accepted values are set. The value of the combined external forces acting on the rod is not known exactly, but only its limits of variation are given. The purpose of the control process is to ensure that at a given moment in time, the average value of the stretch of the rod is within a given interval. This average is calculated using the specified function. In order to solve the problem, the method of optimizing a guaranteed result is applied. A transition to a new one-dimensional variable is made, with the help of which the considered problem of control of the longitudinal oscillations of a rod is reduced to a similar control problem in the presence of noise. The necessary and sufficient conditions are found, under which it is possible to accomplish the set goal for any admissible external forces, the total value of which satisfies the given constraints. A corresponding algorithm for constructing the law of variation of the cart acceleration is proposed. An example that clearly shows how to build the cart control, which will guarantee the achievement of the set goal, has been analyzed.

In this paper, the structural and magnetic properties of Fe100-xSix alloys (10 ≤ x ≤ 25,0 at. %) were calculated. The structural phase transition temperatures for the crystal structures A2, B2, and D03 were estimated from the geometry optimization. The Curie temperatures were calculated in a molecular-field approximation using the constants of magnetic exchange interaction calculated ab initio. For all the considered concentrations, with the temperature increase, we observed the structural transitions from the ordered cubic phase to a disordered structure, with the intermediate stage of a partially disordered state. The ferromagnet–paramagnet transition was observed for all the compositions, though in various crystal phases.

Authors: Setyawan Imam , Masykur Achmad Mujab
Published: June 2022

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of smart internet self-regulation-based intervention, the ‘NAVIGASI DIRI’, in reducing internet addiction in adolescents. The subjects of this study were 40 teenagers (16 girls, 24 boys) from a high school in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The group intervention was carried out in five face-to-face sessions effectively for eight hours. The psychological scales that were compiled as a data collection tool were the Internet Addiction Scale (20 items, α = .843) and Self-Regulation Scale (25 items, α = .808). The experimental design used was pretest-posttest without control group design. The paired sample t-test on pretest and posttest data showed a significant decline in the level of internet addiction, t(39) = 2.640, p < .05, from pretest (M = 28.93; SD = 18.713) to posttest (M = 24.08; SD = 17.006). Meanwhile, the subjects’ self-regulation increased significantly, t(39) = -2.181, p < .05, from pretest (M = 71.85; SD = 6.192) to post-test (M = 73.40; SD = 6.250). The results of the simple regression test showed a moderate negative relationship between the two variables (r = -.548, p < .001; b = -1.490; t(38) = -4.035, p < .001). The coefficient of determination (R2 = .300) indicated that 30% of students’ internet addiction was determined by their self-regulation. The NAVIGASI DIRI Intervention has been proven to be effective in increasing the level of self-regulation of students which contributes to reducing the level of internet addiction.

Evidence of the effectiveness of forgiveness meditation intervention among college students in ‘emergingadulthood’ is still limited. This study aims to examine the effect of forgiveness meditation intervention towardforgiveness, self-forgiveness, forgiveness of others, and forgiveness of situations among college students. Thisstudy used a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with measurements follow-up two weeks aftertreatment ended. The subjects were “emerging adulthood”, as many as 9 college students from DiponegoroUniversity, Indonesia (MAge = 20.67; SDAge = 0.5; Female = 77.8%). The results of quantitative analysis usingstatistical test of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test between pretest and posttest showed a significant increase inforgiveness (z = -2.668, p < .01), self-forgiveness (z = -2.670, p < .01), and forgiveness of situations (z = -2.384,p < .05). Testing between posttest and follow-up were not significant (p > .05). However, the test results betweenpretest and follow-up on these three variables were still significant, z = -2.668, p <.01; z = -2.673, p < .01; and z= -2.388, p < .05, respectively. In contrast, no significant increase in the variable of forgiveness of others (p >.05). The qualitative analysis and further discussions are also presented.
Validation of the Indonesian Version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS): A Rasch Model Approach
Authors: Sulistiani Wiwik , Fajrianthi Fajrianthi , Kristiana Ika Febrian
Published: June 2022

Scale adaptation in different cultures is needed to ensure that the scale measures the intended target. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) has been adopted in several countries, but no Indonesian language adaptation has been made so far. This study aims to test the construct validity of the Indonesian MSPSS that measures one’s level of social support. Rasch analysis was used to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. The subject in this study was 495 Indonesian marine cadets with an average age of 19.32 (41% Engineering, 52.7% Nautical, and 5.5% Electro). In terms of gender, 94.3% were male and 5.7% female. Findings from the Rasch analysis support the one-dimensionality of the 12-items MSPSS in measuring marine cadets’ level of social support. This finding differs from similar MSPSS studies that show the scale’s structure to be multidimensional. The 12-items MSPSS showed excellent internal consistency (person-item interaction index = .85) and fulfilled all the Rasch model requirements. No item misfit was detected from the MNSQ score (.5 < MNSQ < 1.5). Also, there was no item bias based on gender was detected from the scale (.0949 - .9687) > .05. Future studies are advised to test the scale with different samples to further confirm this study’s findings.

Morphology of barchan dunes plays a key role in the rate of movement of barchan dunes and accordingly, the areas that are in the path of barchan dunes can be identified. In this study, morphological parameters of eight barchan dunes in west Lut and movement were investigated. For this purpose, 8 parameters of windward slope length, back-to-wind slope length, right arm length, left arm length, length, width, right width and left width were measured in each barchan dune and Pearson correlation was calculated by SPSS software. In order to better understand the shape of barchan dunes, satellite images were extracted separately from google earth. The results of morphometry showed that barchan dune 6 was in the first place in terms of all morphometric factors. The right arm length to the width had the highest correlation (0.993). The back-to-wind slope length to the right arm length had the lowest correlation (0.815). The right arm length to the width had the highest coefficient of determination (0.9845). The movement during 2005–2019 was extracted from satellite images. It was found that until 2015, the highest movement belonged to barchan dune 3 (225.55 m) and during 2017–2019, the lowest movement belonged to barchan dune 6 (137.49 and 184.66 m). The highest movement during 2017–2019 was 288.24 and 307.67 m for barchan dune 5, respectively.

Published: June 2022

With the emphasis on the properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and numerous applications of chemical reactive distilled water due to bioconvection in the industries, nothing is known about the significance of adding titanium dioxide nanoparticles to an existing distilled water conveying aluminum oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles when viscous dissipation, heat source, and higher buoyancy forces and thermal radiation are substantial. The governing partial differential equations that model the motion of both transport phenomena mentioned earlier were transformed into ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transmutations and solved with bvp4c (MATLAB built-in function). Multiple linear regression (i.e., a statistical tool used to explain outcomes related to engineering parameters of interest) was adopted for a deep scrutinization and exploration. The outcome of the analysis suggests that the thermal radiation parameter can be used to control the heat transferred via convection in the fluid flow. It is detected that the magnetic field parameter and volume fraction of nanoparticle parameters are useful to reduce the shear stress near the surface. The heat source ameliorates the fluid temperature, and the concentration of the fluid decreases with the rise in the chemical reaction parameter. Worthy to conclude that the Peclet and Schmidt number escalates the density number of motile microorganisms.

The study focuses on the building history of the house number 2 in Kojecko in the co ntext of a long-term survey of the oldest settlements of vernacular architecture in the Českodubsko region and in Pojizeří. It is a historical homestead with an interesting design. It is important to the knowledge of the development of the two-storey country houses. So far, the survey has focused on the regionally specific building stock of more archaic forms of a two-storey house with a high blocka of living rooms. The documentation of house no. 2 was mo tivated by the effort to supplement the survey with knowledge of the beginning of the ex tension of the type of a two-storey timbered house with a full chamber situated above the living room. The results of the research mainly specified the timeline of the beginning o f the occurrence of this variant of the house in the studied area. The construction of the house took place at the turn of the 17th and the 18th century. To some extent, it corresponds with the general assumption of this time. It builds on previous research, which provided ro ugh dating of the houses with high rooms between 1640s to the 1690s. The survey is supplement ed by an archival search of the building and the urban development of the locality.

The study deals with an industrial complex for the production of chandeliers and lighting fixtures, built between 1966 and 1977 in Kamenický Šenov. The plant was a continuation of the local tradition of chandelier production, dating back to the first half of the 18th century. It concentrated most of the individual enterprises, nationalized in 1945, in one area. In addition to the Crystalex glass complex being built at the same time in Nový Bo r, this is the most important building in the second half of the 20th century in the Borskošenov glass region. The construction was part of a comprehensive investment initiative of socialist Czechoslovakia from the first half of the 1960s. The a im was to support the successful export industry branches by the construction of new plants, bringing foreign exchange and prestige to the national economy. Today, the plant is a part of the PRECIOSA holding and still serves its original purpose.
Queering the Unseen Character
Authors: Zuk Tanya D.
Published: June 2022

Welcome to Night Vale (Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, 2012–) is a neo-radio drama podcast that uses specific aesthetic techniques in program formatting, vocal performance, and a descriptive absence as queer gestures leading to the creation of an unanchored acousmêtric lead character, Cecil Palmer, played by Cecil Baldwin. This article explores the show’s use of radical ambiguity through a remediated aesthetic and “noise” to set a queer uncanny scene. The use of queer vocal markers, a masked sonic color line, and racialized casting practices all contribute to the creation of an unseen/undescribed character that is open to audience interpretation. Combined with the creative production team’s assertion that all audience visualizations of the character are to be considered equally canonical, Welcome to Night Vale has created not only an acousmêtric character, but one that is a multiform as well. Though there is a long history of undescribed characters in sound studies and audience use of reverse ekphrasis to visualize characters is not new, the combination creates the opportunity for audiences to create infinite canonical variations of the same character—an innovative sound structure.

Published: June 2022

Continuing a trend of publications investigating sound art within a specific geographical context, this paper proposes an original view of the sound installation practice in Québec. This study is part of a research project aiming at building new theoretical and practical tools for the documentation of such artworks. In this paper we present the outcomes of the first phase and its connection with the bigger picture of the project, which is the questioning of the relevance of spatial audio recordings with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) for mediating the capture of knowledge relating to the sensory experience of a work. During the first phase, we developed a conceptual descriptive framework based on a mixed-methods approach, top-down and bottom-up, consisting in a systematic review of literature paralleled with a categorization of contemporary sound art production in Québec based on publicly available documentation. This process led to a formal and quantitative depiction of the Québec scene, which aims to guide both the selection of case studies for the next phases but also to be part of the conceptual tools for investigating the sensory experience of these works. This quantitative depiction of the scene will thus foster a qualitative investigation of the sensory experience of sound art installations and the knowledge that may be lost in standard written documentation practice with an original methodological framework.

The aim of the article is to segment the population of Ukraine according to the perception of sexist advertising, as well as the relationship between the presence of gender stereotypes to tolerate such advertising. The active public, in particular the Ukrainian Marketing Association and gender organizations, has brought the advertising market in Ukraine closer to world standards, and the issue of public perception of advertising that contains various manifestations of sexism is still relevant. Analyses results. An online survey was conducted to obtain consumer feedback on sexist advertising. The number of questionnaires received in the study was 2410. Advertising samples were selected according to the categories of gender-discriminatory advertising: gender stereotypes; objectification (use of a person as a sexual object, equating a person to a commodity); violence of one sex over another. According to the results, several segments of consumers were identified according to their perception of advertising with manifestations of sexism with the following names: categorically rejecting any advertising with sexist content; categorically rejecting certain manifestations of sexism in advertising; intuitively not accepting certain sexist advertising; those who do not accept advertisements with sexist content; those who do not accept advertising only with aggressive objectification of a person. Variables for segmentation were age, sex and education. The study also found a relationship between the presence of gender stereotypes among respondents and a tolerant attitude towards gender-discriminatory advertising. Conclusions and directions for further research. .The study revealed that most Ukrainian consumers have a negative attitude towards advertising with sexist content. Among Ukrainians, several segments can be distinguished that differ in their attitudes toward gender-based discrimination. Variables for segmentation are age, gender and level of education. Young women with higher education do not perceive sexist advertising the most, and citizens who are over 65 and who do not have higher education are the most tolerant. The study found a close link between the presence of gender stereotypes in respondents and attitudes towards discriminatory advertising. Further research should further examine the impact of cultural, economic and social environments on citizens' perceptions of discriminatory advertising.

The aim of the article. The aim of the study was the development of theoretical provisions for the cross-border marketing formation as well as its development in terms of digital integration. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following objectives: to provide a clear understanding of cross-border cooperation processes (CBC); to determine which marketing (regional or international) best suits the tool for the CBC development of and transform it accordingly; to present an the CBC concept understanding in terms of digital integration; to adapt the marketing concept to the abovementioned objectives. The results of the analysis. The substantial theoretical novelty has been obtained, as a result of scientific research, which lies in the following improvement classification of regional marketing in the regional economy managerial system in terms of CBC, and provided grounds for deriving the following components: border and cross-border marketing; tools for organizational and economic analysis of marketing in TCS have been improved, which, in contrast to existing approaches, allows clearly track the “bottlenecks” that are present in the organizational mechanism of cross-border institutions, negatively affecting the achievements of economic goals for CBC development; the classification of digital marketing in the subsystem of digital economy in the conditions of CBC has been improved, on the basis of which, the newest category - "interactive cross-border marketing" has been deduced; the tools for analyzing CBC information support have been improved, using the parameters of interactive marketing, which, unlike existing approaches, focuses exclusively on the evaluation of digital platforms, which allows to identify problem signals in the construction of the site for CBC further development; the terminological component of CBC has been further developed, which is presented in two formats: preliminary (CBCp) and in-deep (CBCd) cross-border cooperation. That is why the CBC can develop in different ways on the territories of one state. In some regions, such cooperation has become permanent and systematic activity, while in the others this type of interaction is only being established; the definitive content of the CBC category has been further developed, which, under the influence of the beginning of the XXI century trend, is aimed at activation of information-interactive cooperation. Conclusions and direction for further research. Cross-border marketing (or marketing in cross-border cooperation) is an important tool for the economic development of the European integration model. Therefore, further research should be aimed at the marketing sectorial transformation in the economic subsystems of border areas that carry out or plan to carry out cross-border cooperation.

The aim of the article is to identify the basic principles of digital etiquette in marketing communications. Analyses results. The concept of «digital etiquette» has been defined as a set of rules and norms of polite and appropriate behavior in the digital environment that applies to online and offline interactions, in contrast to the concept of «netiquette», which covers only online communication. The peculiarities of the evolution of digital etiquette have been analyzed through a review of special rules and guidelines of ethical behavior, created in the 1980-1990s and designed to work in the network. In particular, such works as «Towards an ethics and etiquette for electronic mail» (1985) by N.Z. Shapiro, R.H. Anderson, «A primer on how to work with the USENET community» (1986) by C.V. Rospach, «The ten commandments of computer ethics» (1992) by R. Barquin, «Netiquette» (1994) by V. Shea, «Netiquette Guidelines» (1995) by S. Hanbridge, have been recognized as fundamental in the formation of digital etiquette. The last decades have been marked by trends in the transfer of netiquette from the level of «for all» to the level of a clearly defined group (users of the social network, the virtual community of the educational institution, customers of the brand, users of gadgets, the target audience of the product, specialists in a particular field, etc.). The principles of digital etiquette in marketing communications have been identified (1) mutual respect and politeness; 2) conciseness; 3) timeliness; 4) «information hygiene»; 5) responsibility for actions; 6) taking into account the human factor; 7) restraint and correctness; 8) security and confidentiality). It is argued that these principles should be guidelines for approving the behavioral model in accordance with the defined marketing strategy. Conclusions and directions for further research. The development and implementation of a marketing code of ethical behavior both at the level of an individual enterprise and at the level of Ukraine, which would regulate the issue of digital etiquette in marketing communications, have been considered promising for further research within the above issues.
Ramadan in Egyptian people with type 2 diabetes: effect on cardiometabolic parameters
Authors: Amer Hanan , Eid Yara , Aboromia Maram , Kabany Yomna
Published: June 2022

Background: Most Muslims with diabetes have a strong desire to fast during the month of Ramadan but some cannot perform it because of the risk of complications such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, dehydration and thrombosis. During Ramadan, the meal pattern and fluid intake are markedly altered and there are delayed and shortened periods of sleep. These changes in meal and sleep rhythm could lead to undesirable changes in metabolism and increased risk of complications.
Aims: To study the effect of Ramadan fasting on metabolic parameters and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).
Methods: This cohort study was conducted on 80 people with T2D who were intending to fast during Ramadan in the year 2014; the average number of fasting hours was 15 hours. They were subjected to clinical, anthropometric and laboratory evaluation before and after Ramadan.
Results: There were significant increases between pre- and post-Ramadan total cholesterol levels (3.77±1.19 mmol/l vs 5.24±1.03 mmol/l, p< 0.001), triglycerides (1.7±0.95 mmol/l vs 2.22±1.51 mmol/l, p< 0.004), LDL-C (2.03±1.08 mmol/l vs 3.04±1.19 mmol/l, p< 0.001), fasting insulin (6.1±3.7 mu/l vs 12.6±8.2 mu/l, p<0.001), HOMA IR (2.42±1.6 IU vs 7.02±8.9 IU, p< 0.001), creatinine (71.62±17.68 umol/l vs 83.11±26.53 umol/l , p< 0.001 ), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (134.9±10.8 mmHg vs 141.2±11.9 mmHg , p< 0.001 ) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ( 94.7±10.7 mmHg vs 101.8±11.3 mmHg, p < 0.001). The 10-year cardiovascular disease risk increased from 5.18±7.8 to 7.6±9.9 (p< 0.001). There was no significant change in body mass index.
Conclusion: Ramadan fasting in Egyptian people with T2D appears to have a significant effect on lipid profiles and blood pressure that could adversely impact cardiovascular risk. Current guidance is more focused on glycemic control, with adjustments to oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin dose. Cardiovascular disease risk assessment and guidance prior to Ramadan fasting should not be overlooked.
