The concepts of status and contract are well-established and frequently used analytical categories of good explanatory power in classical and contemporary international labour law literature. Since the interpretation of these concepts varies from era to era and from author to author, recent Hungarian legal literature has paid little attention to the interpretation of legal developments along this theoretical framework, although it could serve as an effective reference point for grasping the trends of existing law. This paper attempts to apply these concepts to describe the regulatory trends in a volatile and conflictual area of law, namely working time.

Means of assessment include technology assessment where one examines the broad impact of a technology, and socio-economic opportunity analysis where one starts from social needs and looks for technological solutions. The integration and balance of different levels of technology is as important as the selection of individual technologies. Superior Engineers in the 21st Century do not design for the community, but design with the community and enable design by the community.

One of the important contributions from the academic community of Brawijaya University is the empowerment of students in the boarding school setting. A range of empowerment programs have been adopted, encompassing the enhancement of traditional beverage production tools and workshop tools, as well as the introduction of handicraft innovations to augment income. The economy of the students and members of the Darul Mutaqin Islamic boarding school in Dau Village, Batu City, primarily relies on donations, supplemented by revenue generated from the sale of herbal goods. The school is strategically located next to rice fields, which offer ample natural resources. Food self-sufficiency can be achieved by utilizing animal husbandry techniques that involve feeding animals with nutritious green feed derived from agricultural waste, such as water hyacinth and maize stalks. This approach holds significant promise. Presently, the livestock industry at Darul Mutaqin Islamic Boarding School, namely in poultry farming, remains underdeveloped despite the ample availability of natural resources. Poultry farming, a generally manageable approach, might suffer a decrease in economic profitability if not adequately planned. The implementation of suitable technology via the Doktor Mengabdi initiative is anticipated to enhance students' proficiency in animal husbandry, augment livestock yield, and uphold environmental well-being. Darul Mutaqin's future goals include attaining financial self-sufficiency. This effort offers solutions by implementing a cutting-edge pilot project for a contemporary livestock system that integrates diverse mechanization and automation technology. The purpose of these suitable technologies is to generate sustainable poultry products, hence benefiting the pesantren community.

Basically, every child will go through a growth and development process according to their age stages. To properly monitor children's growth and development, parents, health workers, educators, cadres and other staff who are interested in children's growth and development need to take their respective roles. Because the process of children's growth and development is almost the same, knowing the characteristics and principles of children's growth and development will make it easier for parents to provide growth and development stimulation in accordance with what is needed and expected by children to achieve optimal growth and development. One of the efforts to overcome this is by educating parents about stimulating growth and development using simple instruments. One of the tools/instruments used to determine whether a child's development is normal or whether there are deviations is by using the KIA book. This service activity aims to increase parents' knowledge and skills in monitoring children's growth, development and stimulation by utilizing the parenting activity community that already exists in Tegal City, namely the HEbAT Community. This activity takes the form of providing material on parenting concepts and improving skills in monitoring and stimulating children's development. The learning stages contain parenting concepts according to Nurturing Care recommended by WHO. At the practical stage, there will be practice assessing children's development through the KIA book. The monitoring results will show the child's developmental status and the type of stimulation needed.

Burn out: Ukrainian realities (based on some medical professions)
Authors: Chaban Oleh , Salnikova Alina
Published: December 2024

Background: The spread of burnout syndrome contributes to our era - the time of achievement, consumption, new materialism, entertainment and enjoyment of life. This is the time when we exploit ourselves and allow ourselves to exploit. But you need to keep in mind that emotional burnout occurs in those professions where there is not only a heavy load but also a constantly acting chronic stress. This article discusses the “Burn out” problem in the context of the medical profession in Ukraine.

Results: After a survey among doctors, we saw some features of “Burn out” in different regions of Ukraine and their phenomenological content. There was a survey among different medical specializations, which allowed us to see the difference between the emotional burnout of endocrinologists, cardiologists, oncologists, and gynecologists.

Methods: “Questionnaire for the identification of burnout syndrome” O. Chaban

Conclusion: emotional burnout is a process in which the doctor himself actively participates and, if the signs of “Burn out” are detected at the beginning of the process, he has the opportunity to make changes in his life. Comparing the facts of the study, one can imagine the Ukrainian doctor as a certain robot who voluntarily sacrifices himself, but receives almost nothing for this. The sacrificial position of a Ukrainian doctor is probably due to living in certain personal and social myths.
Attachment style as a determinant of romantic partner choice
Authors: Frankova Iryna , Gavrilova Oksana
Published: December 2024

Relationships in society meet different social needs, for example, belonging to a social group (friends, neighbours) is needed to ensure a sense of social integration, and attachment (for example, in a romantic couple) is needed to meet the need for emotional intimacy. One of the important tasks of late adolescence is to establish an intimate relationship with a romantic partner.

It is known that an important predictor of partner choice is the early experience of attachment to parents. The system of attachment is a critical component in human relations. This experience will affect personality and interpersonal relationships in the later stages of ontogenesis.

The article presents a literature review, both theoretical and empirical studies, of the links between attachment to a romantic partner and features of relationships with parents. The dependence of the quality of attachment to a romantic partner with the quality of attachment to parents was determined. The quality of attachment to parents correlates with the image of them and their attitude to sons and daughters. Features of attachment to a romantic partner are associated with the images of both the parents and the partner. Without a reliable attachment base, the processing of emotionally charged conflicts from the past between partners is almost impossible, without this base activated fears and anxieties often become unbearable for the couple, a lot of resistance occurs.

The concept of transferring the style of attachment between generations proves that people who lack confidence in their parents, as adults, have difficulties in establishing stable romantic relationships and empathic response to the needs of their children. Therefore, studying the factors and mechanisms of the attachment system development in adolescence with possible further psychotherapeutic influence is of particular importance for psychology in general, and medical psychology in particular.

Psychological and psychotherapeutic assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic: current challenges
Authors: Velykodna Mariana , Frankova Iryna
Published: December 2024

Introduction. It has been confirmed by a number of empirical studies that the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) significantly affected the psychological well-being and mental health of the world population. Timely and effective psychological and psychotherapeutic support in this special period is in high demand. Therefore, the analysis of an actual experience of practitioners, their requests and difficulties in the patients’ management is needed.

Goal. To analyze the requests and challenges faced by psychologists and psychotherapists in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to review strategies on how to address based on the global experience.

Methods. According to the purpose, an anonymous online survey for mental health professionals from Eastern Europe was conducted on March 14-16 2020 and analyzed. Based on the obtained results, a literature review and systematization of practical recommendations for psychologists and psychotherapists regarding the COVID-19 pandemic were conducted.

Results. Respondents (n = 145), predominantly women (90.3%), with work experience from 1 to 27 years (M = 8.1, SD = 6.02), were psychologists and psychotherapists in private practice (77.9%) or employed and in professional organizations. The majority (75.2%) reported that they were considering what modifications in their professional practice organization due to coronavirus disease should be implemented, and 35.9% had already implemented some changes. These were 1) a readiness to change the therapeutic setting (frequency of sessions, on-line); 2) reconsider the financial arrangements; 3) and request for additional knowledge, practical recommendations or supervision.

Conclusions. The inevitable changes due to the pandemic situation cause corresponding modifications in the organization of psychological and psychotherapeutic support. The main task of these modifications is to maintain the stability of therapeutic setting and to guarantee the availability of necessary assistance to patients in such difficult conditions as quarantine, financial losses, inability to meet face-to-face etc. Practitioners rely more on their own experience in the implementation of necessary changes, but highlight the urgent need for additional training and guidance from the professional community, including in the supervision.
Personalized approach in the treatment of mental disorders: Long-term prospects for the use of low doses of psychotropic drugs.
Authors: Asanova Azize
Published: December 2024

Importance. Despite the fact that in recent decades a large number of new psychotropic medication have been developed and investigated, psychotherapy and other treatments for mental disorders, it became apparent that many patients are resistant to treatment or response only after repeated changes in therapy or its combinations. Having a diagnosis of mental disorder itself was not sufficient to choose the best treatment. In the medical field, there is a new approach to the treatment of mental disorders - "personalized approach", which will treat not "diagnosis" but "patient".

Materials and methods. In order to observe the prospects of using low doses of psychotropic drugs (and their combinations) to achieve more effective treatment results, a content analysis was conducted using Ukrainian and English publications for the last 15 years. The search was performed on the databases Pubmed, CrossRef.

Results. The most effective drug is selected by the doctor based on the clinical condition and symptoms of the patient, but the most important factor in achieving successful results is the individually selected effective dose. Timely dose adjustment to achieve the desired clinical response, combined with the prevention of adverse reactions, is an important factor in maintaining patient's adherence to treatment.

Reducing the dose of psychotropic drugs to levels below those recommended in the instructions for use can lead to significant positive results due to: improved health care in general with more effective therapeutic results, reduced side effects and reduced patient`s costs.

Personalized approach and judicious use of psychotropic drugs for other purposes is considered an integral part of the continuous development of science, taking into account the clinical experience of the use of drugs.

Conclusions. There is a need to adjust the dosage of psychotropic drugs to the minimum effective dose that will meet the individual needs of the individual patient, and will help to find a balance between efficacy and risk of side effects and will be a necessary basis for developing an effective personalized approach in psychiatric practice.

Optimizing the dosage of a psychotropic drug is an important factor in improving the efficiency of the health care system as a whole.

The mass migration of healthcare professionals from Nigeria, commonly referred to as “japa syndrome,” has left a significant gap in the country’s healthcare system. While economic and social factors in migration decisions are well-documented, the psychological dimensions remain significantly underexplored. This study aimed to identify key psychological factors and theoretical foundations explaining migration decisions and determine how these factors drive migration in Nigeria. This qualitative study was structured around two research questions: What psychological factors influence migration decisions? and how these psychological factors drive migration decisions and intentions. The study reveals that Nigerian healthcare professionals are driven by work-related stress, burnout, anxiety, and job insecurity, leading to migration for better opportunities abroad. These factors explained by Maslow's hierarchy of needs, push and pull theory, and cognitive dissonance theory, present a comprehensive understanding. The study suggests systemic changes to reduce migration pressures for healthcare workers, including stress management programs, improved working conditions, professional recognition, and effective retention strategies.

Substance abuse has long been a significant challenge in public health, persisting throughout history. There is a growing concern over the escalating use of substances among undergraduate students, posing serious threats to societies worldwide. This trend not only jeopardizes physical health but also undermines social and ethical standards. Substance abuse among undergraduates leads to property damage within educational institutions and diminishes the prospects of academic success of students. In examining the social factors influencing substance abuse among undergraduates at Tai Solarin University of Education in Ijagun, Ogun State, a descriptive survey research design was employed. The study utilized a simple random sampling technique to select a sample of eight hundred (800) undergraduates. The researcher designed a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.78 to investigate substance abuse among undergraduates, employing statistical tools such as frequency counts, percentages, and chi-square tests at a significance level of 0.05. The analysis resulted in the rejection of all three hypotheses. The study identified peer pressure, substance availability, and advertisements as significant contributors to substance abuse among undergraduates. Consequently, the study recommends mandatory medical testing for substance abuse across all undergraduate levels and advocates for active involvement of health educators in educating students, including integration of substance abuse topics into General Studies (GNS) courses.

This study investigated effectiveness of monetary policy tools on Nigeria’s economic growth and assessed the moderating impact of financial sector development. Annual time series data on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Exchange Rate, and Inflation are obtained from Nigerian Central Bank's statistical and Monetary Policy and Credit Availability were obtained from World Bank Development Indicators covering 31 observations from 1991 to 2022 were used in the study. Data were analyzed using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Research results show that, there exists a positive significant relationship between exchange and Inflation rates with economic growth over the long term; also, positive significant relationships can be detected in the growth of money and volume of credit with economic growth in the long term. On the other hand, the monetary policy rate and credit availability significantly negatively affect economic growth in the long term. These consequences explain that inefficiency exists in the financial environment or monetary policy instruments in isolated applications without considering the context of the financial sector, which needs to be more durable and realistic enough to be effective. In addition, the analysis with the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model for both levels and the first difference, confirm the existence of a long-run cointegration among monetary policy measures and economic growth. Therefore, the negative coefficients on both the monetary policy rate and the availability of credit indicate that monetary policy, if adjusted effectively, can serve as a powerful tool to initiate the desired economic expansion. This finding instills hope and optimism for the future of Nigeria's economy.

This study investigated how fraud investigation can be successfully used to prevent fraudulent practices in Nigeria’s public sector. A descriptive survey design was used for this study. The state with the highest total revenue was selected from each of the country's six geopolitical zones. Structured questionnaires returned by 341 respondents (85.5% response rate) who were mainly accountants, auditors and lawyers in the public sector were analyzed with ordinal regression analysis. Fraud investigation was proxy by Legal Framework; Whistleblower Protection; Trained and Skilled Investigators; Cooperation of Agencies; Transparent and Accountable Leaders and Public Awareness and Education. Findings showed that Legal Framework and Whistleblower Protection have negative and insignificant coefficients. The rest have positive and also negligible coefficients. All the six variables used collectively accounted for just 12% of fraud prevention in the public sector of Nigeria. The study concluded that investigation alone cannot curb fraud in the public sector of Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that fraud investigation should be combined with other methods to combat and eradicate fraud in the public sector of Nigeria.

Sustainability disclosure in many jurisdictions is still voluntary while it is mandatory in other climes. In Nigeria, the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX) requires listed firms to include sustainability report in their annual reports from 2019. This study investigated whether there are differences in the level of sustainability reporting among the seven sectors of the non-financial listed firms on NGX. Population for the study was all the 97 non-financial listed firms on NGX while a sample of 30 firms were purposively and proportionately selected, based on largest capitalisation, from the seven sectors of the non-financial firms on NGX. Contents analysis was used to determine the level of quantity and quality disclosures while ANOVA was used as a method of analysis to determine if there were variations in the level of reporting by the seven sectors. Results showed that there were variations in the level of sustainability quantity and quality disclosures at 1% level of significance, with P-values of 0.00001 and 0.00006 respectively. It was therefore recommended that governments at both the federal and state levels should continuously enforce environmental and, health and safety laws with appropriate sanctions for any breach.

Political socialization is a process by which people develop attitudinal dispositions about politics and is mediated through various agencies of the society, with communication as its key driver. This study assessed how mass-mediated messages influence political socialization of people who reside in rural communities in Oyo State. For the survey, 378 respondents were selected using a multistage sampling technique. Using a structured questionnaire, focus group discussion and group interview, data were obtained on residents’ access and usage of mass media for political socialization: influence of selected media items on political socialization and methods of political participation. Results further showed that political information was mostly sourced by the respondents through radio (x ̅=3.49). Overall, 59.5% of the respondents had high political participation. However, public affairs programmes (x ̅=2.83) and news/commentaries (x ̅=2.50) influenced political socialization of the residents. The study concluded that mass media was influential in the political socialization of residents of rural areas in Oyo State. Therefore, media organizations, especially radio stations should prioritize public affairs programmes that put politicians on the spot and encourage audience participation.
Comparative characteristics of international legal regulation of migration and international human rights law
Authors: Konnov Valeriy
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the theoretical issues of the relationship between two groups of international legal norms. The first group regulates interstate relations in the field of migration, and the second – in the field of ensuring and protecting human rights. The conclusion is formulated and substantiated that there are common norms in these branches of law, which can be considered an integral part of both branches. The mutual complementarity of such norms is justified, as well as the absence of conflicts in their application in practice
