Розглянуто використання глиняного посуду в поховальних та поминальних обрядах
населенняскіфського часу Дніпровського Лісостепового Лівобережжя. Простежено, що вироби
місцевого таімпортного походження були досить частою знахідкою в насипах курганів, а

напутніми дарами й тризною.
The use of clay pottery in the Scythian population’s
burial and memorial rituals of the Dnipro Left-Bank Forest-Steppe Region is considered
in the article. It has been traced that the locally made productsand imported antiques
were quite frequent finds in the mounds, as well as in the ditches that surroundedthem.
These clay artifacts are associated with purification rituals, farewell gifts, and
funeral meal.Despite the similarities (ethnic, religious, cultural, territorial)
monuments of the Dnieper Forest-Steppe Left Bank Region, complete unity in burial
customs in the 8th-4th centuries BC didn’t observe.It shows the heterogeneity of the
population’s burial rituals, even in some close regions, and possiblechronological
changes in the whole ritual.We can observe quite similar rituals during the diggings of
simultaneous burials in the DnieperForest-Steppe Right Bank Region and Ukraine steppe
zone’s Scythian mounds.Unfortunately, most of the mounds were looted in ancient times.
It is not yet possible to trace clearlythe differences in burial rituals for
socio-property differentiation of the dead.Examining clay pottery, it can be confirmed
that the local population’s burial rituals with using theseartifacts were not
conservative. Imported antique products had been using actively in them from the
5thcentury BC.The same clay pottery was used in everyday life and burial rituals.
Analysis of clay pottery’s contentsusing DNA technology will determine what food was in
them.New archаeological diggings of mounds and soil necropolises, expansion of source
base will allowtracking changes in burial rituals in space and time.

The era of light
chariots with wheels on spokes drawn by horses was the prologue to the
epoch-makingchanges in the transition to the Late Bronze Age. It can be assumed that the
contemplation of the rapidmovement of wheels on spokes gave almost the first idea of the
effect of multiplication in the societies ofSteppe cattlemen. The vortex effect of the
rotational movement of the wheel led to the image of the swastika,i.e. the sacred symbol
of the Aryan chariots. The rotation of the swastika mounted on the axle creates
anoptical effect of the wheel on the spokes. It was recorded in cases when the swastika
was inscribed fromthe outside in the circle of the bottom of the pot. The effect was
enhanced when the vessel (cup) had abase, and the circle of the base together with the
swastika was even more harmoniously associated withthe rim of the wheel. Rotating the
cup in an upside down position on a mobile stand allows you to achievethe effect of
animation in the context of the ritual. The era of unprecedented speeds gave impetus to
thecreation of new dynamic spectacles. Among them were acrobatic games with a bull,
artistically embodiedin the frescoes of the Minos Palace on the island of Crete and
other examples of Cretan and MycenaeanArt. Episodes of this game have been recorded in
the ancestral homeland of the Mycenaean rulers inthe steppes of Eurasia and in the South
Caucasus, in particular petroglyphs of Gobustan, pictograms onceramics and metal. The
study is based on a number of assumptions. The author does not have access tothese
artefacts, which are currently contained in the museum collections of the four states.
But with theirsize, shape and illustrations of iconic compositions, you can make copies,
put on a potter's wheel and tryto rotate at different speeds to see if the effect of
animation will play on these objects.

The history of the studies of the second largest Scythian
settlement of the Dnieper Left-Bankforest-steppe – Basivka hill-fort, which is directly
the key monument in the Sula river basin microregion,is revealed in the article. The
peculiarities of studying such a category of material culture as handmadeceramics are
highlighted. It has been established that certain works on ceramics, which would relate
purelyto materials from the Basivka hill-fort, have not been published to date, which
complicates further work.During the prospecting of the nearest area of the monument by
the Basivka detachment of the PutyvlArchaeological Expedition in 2020, new, promising
for further research, settelements and locationswere discovered. For the first time, the
method of natural sciences was used to study ceramics from themonuments of the Scythian
period. The author publishes the results of analyzes of ceramics from theBasivka
hill-fort made by non-destructive X-ray fluorescence method. The conclusions show the
prospectsfor further cooperation of archaeologists and physicists in the study of
handmade pottery of the Scythiantime, not only in this micro-region, but also in general
in Ukraine.

Сonservation of archaeological handmade ware, especially of the large size, has certain
featuresand difficulties due to firing at low temperatures and the composition of the
molding mass (the clay wascoarse with large inclusions).Such vessels usually come to our
time in a worse condition than pottery, mostly in a form ofa collapses broken into many
fragments, with a fragile surface, so they require a special approach to thechoice of
methods, techniques and materials used for their restoration. In such cases the main
task forthe conservator is to find such methods of working with handmade vessels, which
on the one hand wouldbe completely safe, on the other – would provide the comprehensive
study, restoration and preservationof broken archaeological ceramics.It should be noted
that with the development of digital technologies in archaeology and restoration,the
methods of photogrammetry used in non-invasive research of archaeological sites have
spread.The article deals with the application of photogrammetry methods, in particular
3-d modeling duringrestoration work with handmade ware of a large sizes. We try to
describe in detail the way of creatinga three-dimensional model at the stage of
photo-fixation of the archaeological vessel before the beginningof restoration measures
using as the example the handmade large pot (korchaga) of Sabatyn culture ofthe Late
Bronze Age.In our case, a three-dimensional model of the exhibit was created to simplify
the selection of fragmentsfor gluing (almost similar in shape and size) before the
dismantling of a partially glued exhibit of 147fragments. Prior to photography, all
fragments of the vessel were marked with paper stickers.Agisoft Photoscan v1.4.4

Published: February 2022

The effect of mechanical polishing on the structural-sensitive physical properties of the monocrystalline p-SiGe substrates has been investigated. Non-monotonic changes in the electrical characteristics, optical absorption spectra of infrared radiation, internal friction and shear modulus values on the (111) surfaces of SiGe substrates treated with a polishing compound containing different dispersions diamond particles have been shown. Defects formed in the polishing process interact with boron and technological origin oxygen and carbon atoms. Defects of deformation origin are formed in the mechanical processing at room temperature. In the absorption spectra of infrared irradiation a decrease of the concentration of carbon and oxygen atoms and Ci-Cs, Ci-Oi, V-O defects have been revealed. It is supposed that the non-monotonic changes in the electrophysical and physical-mechanical properties on the (111) surfaces of SiGe substrates are caused by changes in the electrical activity of defects and mechanisms of the dislocation-defect associations interaction, formed in the polishing processes.

In Coman and Others v. Romania case, The European Court of Justice by request of Romanian Constitutional Court was tasked to determine whether the term spouse includes Homosexual married couples for the purposes of EU free movement Directive 2004/38. In June 2018, The European Court of Justice has held that the term “Spouse” within the meaning of EU law with regard the freedom of residency of EU citizens and their family members includes Homosexual spouses. This Court ruling has been considered as great victory for homosexual couples striving to achieve equal rights in marriage. Yet celebration of illusionary marriage equality is exaggerated.
PENDEKATAN PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTURAL SEBAGAI RESOLUSI KONFLIK DI INDONESIA
Authors: 'Ibaad Irsyaadul , Triyana Fita , Sukriyanto Rachmad
Published: February 2022

Indonesia is a very large country with cultural diversity from east to west. The right intermediary or media to communicate learning in the form of Pancasila values and the principles of state and nation life is education, especially multicultural education. The purpose of this research is to find out which approach to multicultural education is suitable to be applied in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research, but the data analysis method used is content analysis. Multicultural education can be defined as cultural diversity education that responds to demographic and cultural changes within a particular community or the world as a whole. There are many types of multicultural conflicts in Indonesia: individual conflicts, social conflicts, racial conflicts, religious conflicts, family conflicts, and cultural conflicts. Other ways to resolve disputes include: the victory of one party over another, compromise between the warring parties, reconciliation between the warring parties, forgiving the other party from one side, conflict-free agreements. Multicultural education in Indonesia is more appropriate and suitable to be used as an educational approach. To implement multicultural education, several approaches can be used in the implementation process, namely the contribution approach, additive approach, transformation approach, and social action approach. This approach is applied by integrating the values of multicultural education in learning materials and in school culture.

Published: February 2022

Relevance: M6 variant of acute myeloid leukemia is extremely rare

in pediatric practice. The diverse clinical manifestations of erythroblastic leukemia complicate the timely diagnosis of this group of diseases.

Purpose: to describe a clinical case of congenital erythroblastic

leukemia with multiple lesions of soft tissues and the skeletal system

with complications in the form of the convulsive syndrome, presented

as an Ewing’s sarcoma tumor, diagnosed at the Research Center of

Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery (Almaty, the Republic of Kazakhstan).

Results: The presented clinical case demonstrated challenges in

diagnosing and treating young patients with multiple life-threatening

tumor lesions. The need to develop molecular genetic studies and expand diagnostic capabilities is an integral part of treating oncohematological diseases.

Conclusion: The presented clinical case is of great interest due

to its rareness. This case confirms the need to conduct all diagnostic manipulations to assess the process prevalence and to choose and conduct molecular genetic studies on all stages of examination and treatment.

Published: February 2022

Relevance: According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARС), breast cancer ranks

1st-2nd among other cancers globally [1], including

Kazakhstan [2]. In Kazakhstan, the annual growth

in breast cancer incidence exceeds 26.6%. In 2018-

2019, breast cancer was the 3rd most common cause

of cancer death in Kazakhstan, accounting for 8.7-8.1

per cent, respectively. Early detection of breast cancer

remains an acute issue. In particular, early detection

should be improved. Epigenetic studies of cancer patients confirm that epigenetic biomarkers could be

used as early cancer diagnostic markers, including

breast cancer.

The purpose was to find specific diagnostic markers by methylation profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear fraction DNA in breast cancer patients.

Results: Plasma samples of the Kazakhstani population with breast cancer possessed mononuclear

fraction methylation markers in CpG islets associated

with JAM3, C17orf64, MSC, and C7orf51 genes and the

CpG islet associated with the intragenic region of the 5,

chr5: 77,208,034-77,329,434 chromosome, which were

missing in healthy individuals. These biomarkers allow

differentiating breast cancer from other cancers with a

specificity of 0.91 and a sensitivity of 0.94 compared to

methylation data from open DNA methylation databases (for Illumina 450K): TCGA, GSE40279, GSE61496,

GSE76269 и GSE66836.

Conclusion: Early breast cancer detection method using peripheral blood mononuclear fraction DNA

methylation profile, namely in CpG islets associated

with JAM3, C17orf64, MSC, and C7orf51 genes and the

CpG islet associated with the intragenic region of the

5, chr5: 77,208,034-77,329,434 chromosome is enough

specific and sensitive to use it in breast cancer screening
The results of the Comprehensive
Cancer Control Plan
in the Republic of Kazakhstan
for 2018-2022 realization in 2019
Authors: Kaidarova D. R. , Shatkovskaya O. V. , Dushimova Z. D.
Published: February 2022

Relevance: Cancer control is among the key social policy priorities in the Republic of Kazakhstan. 14,000 people

die from cancer every year. As a result, our country faces an

epidemiologic crisis caused by the increasing malignancy-related incidence and mortality, plus the increasing number

of people living with cancer. In 2019, 186 326 patients with

malignant neoplasms were under dynamic supervision in

Kazakhstan; 52.5% lived for five years or more [1].

WHO prognosis a 1.5-2 times growth of annual malignancy-related incidence and mortality worldwide by 2022.

The Republic of Kazakhstan follows the same trend, taking

into account the growing welfare and life expectancy of the

population and an increase in the detection of malignant

neoplasms due to the introduction of early detection programs [2].

The purpose was to assess the implementation in 2019

of the Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan in the Republic of

Kazakhstan for 2018-2022.

Results: Intermediate Comprehensive Plan implementation results showed the efficacy of the conducted measures

as reflected by major cancer care indicators. Thus, the early detection has improved: stage 0-I detection amounted

to 27.1% of all new cases (2019 target – 25.2%). This had a

positive impact on cancer survival: in 2019, the proportion

of 5-year or more survival was 54.7% for breast cancer (2019

target – 54.5%), 56.8% for cervical cancer (2019 target –

55.8%), 46.6% for colorectal cancer (2019 target – 45.8%) [1].

Conclusion: The Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan

implementation results evidence cancer care improvement

in the Republic of Kazakhstan as of 2019 (increased 5-year

survival and decreased mortality). However, a high share

of detection of visually accessible malignant neoplasms at

generalized and advanced stages should be addressed in the

coming years.

Published: February 2022

Relevance: Since 01 January 2020, the provision of radiation therapy (RT) at Almaty Oncology Center was optimized using

the Visual Care Path (VCP) tool of the ARIA 15.6 oncology system, which supports the implementation of sequential and parallel

mandatory procedures – from patient registration to completion of treatment.

The purpose was to study the impact of the implemented artificial intelligence system on RT effectiveness, safety, the share

of complex RT techniques, and measure staff satisfaction and proficiency.

Results: The share of intensive modulated radiation therapy sessions changed from 39.3% in 2019 to 46.6% in 2020. After

the implementation of VCP, timely pre-irradiation preparation of patients (centering, delineation, dose prescription) by department doctors increased from 76% to 91%, OR = 3.2; timely measurements of plans increased from 85% to 96%, OR = 4.7;

the frequency of major events (the ratio of plans with errors or unsuccessful plans to the total number of plans, delineation of

organs at risk and targets, dose prescription) decreased from 12% to 3%, OR = 4.5; the frequency of minor events (late notification of the patient of the treatment commencement, timely transition to the next stage of patient preparation for treatment

decreased from 32% to 10%, OR = 4.5. Staff proficiency in VCP has increased by 75%. Following the anonymous survey results,

85% of staff reported a positive impact of VCP on the workflow.

Conclusion: The share of complex methods of RT has increased by 7.3%. The implementation of VCP significantly increased

the workflow efficiency – by 3.9 times, reduced the number of major and minor events by 4.4 times. It allowed using a paperless

communication with the executor’s identification at each stage of RT. The new technique was also quickly adopted and favorably accepted by the staff.

Authors: Trizna N. , Kaliadich Zh. , Zhaleika E.
Published: February 2022

Relevance: Surgical treatment for oral and oropharyngeal cancer leads to severe disturbances in speech or

voice, swallowing and breathing, de-socialization of patients. Restoring the communicative function is the main

task of such patients’ medical rehabilitation.

The purpose was to develop a speech therapy rehabilitation technique aimed at restoring speech disorders

in patients after surgical treatment for oral and oropharyngeal cancer.

Results: The developed speech therapy rehabilitation

technique that included a preparatory stage, a speech restoration stage, and independent exercises at home was

used in 82 patients who received in-patient treatment at

the Head and Neck Department of N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre of Belarus. The experimental group

consisted of 52 patients who underwent one-stage reconstructive operations. The control group consisted of 30 patients who underwent standard hemiglossectomy without

the postoperative defect replacement.

Conclusion: Early initiation of speech therapy compensated for speech impairments after surgery on the

oral cavity and oropharynx and reduced the severity of

disabilities in the field of communication.

Grieder’s Theory of Symbols in the Discourse of Art History
Authors: Koontz Rex
Published: February 2022

A theoretical essay from 1975, “The Interpretation of Ancient Symbols,” is the starting point for an investigation of Terence Grieder’s theoretical and methodological interests around that time and how they may have shaped his later work. Grieder’s interest in periodization seems to override other theoretical and methodological interests and may be the foundation for much of his later work on the problems of Chavín style both before and after the apogee of the site of Chavín de Huantar.
Some Thoughts about Mimbres Pottery and Mortuary Customs
Authors: Shafer Harry J.
Published: February 2022

This essay considers a broader social context for the interpretation of ancient Mimbres pottery bowls from the American Southwest. Predominately black-on-white, hemispherical Mimbres bowls recovered from Mimbres burials, constitute one of the most distinctive and popular forms of ancient pottery associated with the Ancestral Puebloan tradition of the southwest. Frequently decorated with complex geometric or highly figurative imagery, the bowls are also widely celebrated for the frequent occurrence of post-fired holes intentionally punched, pecked, or even drilled in the bottom, often referred to as “kill-holes”, and the common practice of placing inverted bowls over the heads of the deceased in Mimbres burials. Based on a collection of bowls recovered from excavations conducted at the NAN Ranch Site in southern New Mexico, the author argues that the distinct nature of Mimbres pottery can be symbolically linked to wider-spread Puebloan beliefs regarding both the function and form of Mimbres funerary practices and related architectural forms reflected in historic ethnographic studies.
The Shape of Place: The Lower Pecos Canyonlands as a

?
Authors: Tate Carolyn E.
Published: February 2022

In the classes he taught at the University of Texas at Austin, Terence Grieder insisted that while answers or “knowledge” evolve as new data are generated, a well-formulated question can lead researchers to consider a wider range of relevant evidence. In this paper, a series of questions structures an inquiry as to whether the formal similarity between the “crenellated arch” motif found in Archaic Period (c. 1700 bce - 400 ce) rock art pictographs along the Pecos and Río Grande Rivers of southwest Texas, and the 16th century Nahua (Aztec) depictions of
Chicomoztoc
—the “Place of Seven Caves”, a mythical place of origin—from throughout later Classic Period central Mexico, are more than mere coincidence.
Introduction
Authors: Farmer James , Koontz Rex
Published: February 2022

The essays in this volume emerged from a series of scholarly papers scheduled to be presented at a professional conference, the Annual Meeting of the Society of American Archaeology (SAA), in the spring of 2020. The papers were part of a session dedicated to a critical reassessment of the scholarly legacy of Dr. Terence Grieder, a leader in the field, until his passing in 2018, of Precolumbian art history and archaeology during the later 20th and early 21st centuries. Beyond merely a celebratory review or festschrift of his work, the session and this subsequent publication sought critical reevaluation of a number of his theories, ideas, and methodological approaches to his interpretation of both the specific field of Precolumbian (aka. Ancient American) art and culture, and the larger, global discipline of art historical and cultural studies. The scheduled SAA session never transpired, due to cancellation of the 2020 SAA meetings because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but continued interest by the co-organizers and co-editors Drs. Rex Koontz and James Farmer, as well as the session participants, spurred the continued development of a publication of extended versions of the session papers, supplemented by additional contributions from other interested scholars.
The Lack of “Creativity” in Pre-Columbian Art: The Impact of Terence Grieder’s Early Scholarship on Recent Rock Art Studies
Authors: Farmer James
Published: February 2022

In his earliest scholarship, Terence Grieder set forth several broad-ranging concepts regarding the interpretation of ancient American art and its relationship to archeological methods of the time. Grieder was an avid proponent of the idea that virtually all documented ancient American societies shared a basic set of fundamentally similar beliefs and ideologies; that all ancient American art forms extending well into the past had always been technically, intellectually, and iconographically highly sophisticated; and as a result of these two assertions, as well as his application of strict art historical analysis, the traditional notion of “creativity” in both ancient American archaeological and art historical scholarship has undergone significant reconsideration. Employing Grieder’s 1975 “configurational/ethnographic” approach, this essay focuses on the impact of his approach on recent studies of an ancient American Archaic Period rock art style known as the Barrier Canyon Style, c. 2000 BCE, centered in modern-day Utah, and argues that specific figures depicted in this style constitute early iconographic forerunners, and possible artistic ancestors, of one of the most highly revered images in later Mesoamerican art, the ubiquitous central Mexican rain god,

Wall model for LES based on building-block flows
Authors: Duran Adrian Lozano
Published: February 2022

A wall model for large-eddy simulation is proposed by devising the flow as a collection of building blocks, whose information enables the prediction of the stress as the wall. The core assumption of the model is that simple canonical flows (such as turbulent channel flows, boundary layers, pipes, ducts, speed bumps, etc) contain the essential flow physics to devise accurate models. Three types of building block units are used to train the model, namely, turbulent channel flows, turbulent ducts, and turbulent boundary layers with separation. The approach is implemented using two interconnected artificial neural networks: a classifier, which identifies the contribution of each building block in the flow; and a predictor, which estimates the wall stress via non-linear combinations of building-block units. The output of the model is accompanied by the confidence in the prediction. The latter aids the detection of areas where the model underperforms, such as flow regions that are not representative of the building blocks used to train the model. The model is validated in a realistic aircraft geometry from NASA Juncture Flow Experiment, which is representative of external aerodynamic applications with trailing-edge separation.
Low-temperature unconventional transport properties in GdN-based Josephson junctions: towards applications in superconducting electronics
Authors: Ahmad Halima Giovanna
Published: February 2022

The Josephson effect is a powerful tool to investigate macroscopic quantum phenomena and unconventional physical properties that occur in a wide range of materials, including: topological insulators, Van der Walls materials and systems with specific spin-ordering, such as ferrimagnets, antiferromagnets and ferromagnets [Tafuri 2019]. In this seminar the latter will be the leading actors, since our main focus is on the transport properties investigated at low-temperature of Josephson junctions that use a ferromagnetic insulating GdN barrier. These are the very first Josephson devices in which a Rare-Earth nitride has ever been integrated, and for which very special effects have been observed. Experimental evidences of macroscopic quantum tunneling phenomena in these systems suggest that these devices can be integrated in highly quantum-coherent devices for quantum computation, such as qubits [Massarotti 2015, Ahmad 2020]. Moreover, the coexistence of tunneling transport mechanisms and ferromagnetism in the GdN, which is one of the very few insulating ferromagnets available, also induces spin-polarization effects [Senapati 2011, Pal 2014] and strongly contributes to the occurrence of spin-triplet superconductivity [Caruso 2019, Ahmad 2021], highly-welcomed in dissipationless spintronics applications.
Once reviewed the basic concepts of superconductivity and Josephson effect, and given an overview of real-world applications of Josephson junctions, we will give a description of the exotic phenomena that one can find in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions reported in the literature [Tafuri 2019], thus to outline not only their possible engineering applications but also the rich fundamental physics that attracted the scientific community in the last years. Finally, we will report our results on GdN-based Josephson devices to highlight the motivations for which it is a hot-topic research field, and to outline future research activities, which also may involve other types of Rare-Earth Nitrides barriers, both from the fundamental and materials physics and for superconducting electronics applications.

Authors: Makhmudova R. U.
Published: February 2022

Aim. To study ambulatory records of HIV-positive patients and to identify patients suffering from tuberculosis and to assess risk factors for the development of TB.

Materials and methods. To achieve the objective we retrospectively analyzed the outpatient records (form 25/u) of 786 HIV-infected individuals, (509 children (64.8%) and 277 adults (35.2%), who were on the outpatient registry of the Centers for HIV Control and Prevention and evaluated the epidemiologic risk factors for high tuberculosis infection.

Results and discussion. Of the 509 examined children living with HIV (0 to 17 years), tuberculosis was detected in 47 (9.2%) and among 277 adults (18 to 59 years) in 36 (13%). Out of 786 (100%) HIV-infected patients examined, 83 (10.6%) had tuberculosis.

Conclusion. It was found that people living with HIV infection are at risk of developing active TB, especially its drug-resistant forms. The leading risk factor for tuberculosis was family contact with a patient with an active form of tuberculosis secreting MBT.
Sculpture of Panchayan Deities of National Museum: An Illustrative Stone Work of Nepal
Authors: Dulal Lok Nath
Published: February 2022

Historical evidence proves the history of sculpturing art is as old as the history of human beings. The findings of stone sculpture and other forms of art from the different prehistoric sites of Europe, Africa and Asia have strongly supported the above mentioned acquaintance. It means the tradition of sculpturing stone art has evolved from the pre- historic culture in the world. Likewise, the tradition of creating stone sculpture and other forms of stone art also existed from the pre- historic age in Nepalese society. It is justified through the findings of hand axes and other different art objects which are being displayed in the National Museum. There are some noteworthy illustrations of Nepalese stone art in different museums abroad and in Nepal as well. Out of Nepalese stone sculptures, Panchayan deities of the national museum are considered an important specimen through religious, cultural, style, skill and technological perspectives. In this stone panel the figures of Shiva, Vishnu, Surya, Ganesh and goddess have been depicted. In Nepal, there are plenty of sculptures and paintings of these gods and goddess in single and with their families as well. But such a sculpture of this kind which has been exhibited in the stone work section of the national museum is very rare. Therefore, it is claimed that the panel is one of the important sculptures of Panchayan gods of Nepal. In this article, regarding the different issues of such sculptures going to be examined.

Abstract. The sharenting practice, or the sharing of one’s parenting and children online, has become a popular topic of critical focus that decries it as an exploitative disregard for children’s privacy and rights. Sharenting is becoming an increasingly common practice, putting children's safety and privacy at risk. This phenomenon is a response to the behavior of family members who share images of minors on the Internet. On the contrary, the degree of Internet addiction is a current problem in modern society, and it has begun to be related to low self-control on the part of adults. This current article aims to highlight some of the most pervasive concerns about the loss of privacy, and the pain that inappropriate information sharing practices can cause to parents and children.

El sector del transporte aéreo de Colombia se posiciona como el tercer país con mayor incremento de operaciones en las terminales aéreas de América Latina. Para alcanzar un crecimiento sostenible del sector, es necesario contar con metodologías de planificación basadas en estimaciones sobre la previsión de las cantidades de pasajeros. En este contexto de planificación operativa, este trabajo presenta varios modelos de pronóstico predictivo de largo plazo con base a las operaciones en vuelos nacionales e internacionales registradas por Aerocivil desde el año 2005. Se aplicó un enfoque de Modelado de Orden Diferenciado Estacional, Autoregresivo y de Medias Móviles (SARIMA). Se presenta una metodología secuencial para la selección de cinco modelos sobre un total de 256 calculados. El modelo (0,1,0)×(0,1,0)12 resultó ser el más apropiado con una estimación del RMSEA del 3.1%. Los modelos presentan altos rendimientos de estimación a pesar de los efectos causados por la última pandemia COVID-19.

These instructions provide you guidelines for preparing papers for Journal of Innovation and Social Science Research. Use this document as a template and as an instruction set. PURPOSE: The goal of this meta-analysis was to look at the efficacy and safety of radioactive seeds brachytherapy using Iodine-125 for unresectable advanced pancreatic neoplasm. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In pancreatic neoplasm, trials comparing 125I brachytherapy with Gemcitabine chemotherapy have been identified. The pooled odds ratios for overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and complications, as well as the pooled hazard ratios for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival, were calculated using meta-analysis (OS). RESULTS: A total of 12 studies with a total of 863 cases were included. There were significant differences in ORR (OR=3.13, 95% CI 2.24-4.38) and DCR (OR=3.67, 95% CI 2.63-5.12) between 125I brachytherapy combined with chemotherapy containing gemcitabine and chemotherapy alone, but no statistical differences in PFS (HR=0.63, 95% CI 0.30-1.32), OS (HR=0.72, 95 %CI 0.43-1.20), and adverse reactions (diarrhea: OR=0.75, 95%CI: 0.42-1.25; pernicious vomiting: OR=1.30, 95%CI: 0.82-2.06; leukopenia: OR=1.32, 95%CI: 0.88-1.98; thrombocytopenia: OR=1.05, 95%CI: 0.71-1.57; anemia: OR=1.18, 95%CI: 0.66-2.10; and hepatic impairment: OR=1.10. 95% CI: 0.63-1.92). CONCLUSION: 125I brachytherapy combined with the inclusion of gemcitabine chemotherapy enhance the clinical efficacy of patients with unresectable pancreatic neoplasm without increasing the incidence of adverse effects such as pancreatic fistula, pancreatitis, seed migration, and duodenitis compared with chemotherapy. However, there was no obvious effect on the survival of unresectable pancreatic neoplasm.

A Study on the Restriction of the Legitimate Purposes of Shareholders’ Inspection Right from an International Perspective
Authors: Wu Shurong , Li Jialin
Published: February 2022

With the separation of shareholders’ ownership and control of a company, the law of China should not only constantly expand the scope of protection of shareholders’ right to information, but also improve the protection measures accordingly. As a major right of shareholders, inspection right is the basis and prerequisite for shareholders to exercise other rights. Under the lure of power, if shareholders’ right to obtain corporate information cannot be reasonably protected, it will be inevitable for the operators of the company to manipulate the information and thus violate the interests of shareholders. The provisions of article 33, paragraph 2 of Company Law of China relating to shareholders’ right to information are too brief and to a degree, not viable and feasible. Furthermore, in judicial practice, the meaning of legitimate purposes varies with different judges, leading to different standards and different decisions even in some virtually similar cases. Although the Interpretation of Company Law (IV) tries to solve the above judicial dilemma, there are still some deficiencies in the definition of legitimate purpose. Therefore, in order to enhance the right of the shareholders’ inspection, it is desperately necessary to learn from the relevant experience of extraterritorial law. This paper, by mainly analyzing the regulations of Japan and Germany on shareholders’ right to inspection, concludes that the Company Law of China can make changes on the following four aspects: refining the judgment standards for legitimate purposes, clarifying the connotation of legitimate purposes, expanding the domain of application of the shareholders’ inspection right and introducing the inspector system.
