Материалы и методы.Исследование выполнялось на базе ФКУ «ГБ МСЭ по Челябинской области» Минтруда России. Проведен анализ учетно-отчетной документации и форм статистического учета и отчетности ФКУ «ГБ МСЭ по Челябинской области» Минтруда России, сведений Росстата. Результаты. Установлено, что статистически значимого увеличения численности детей-инвалидов в Челябинской области за 2019-2021 гг. нет. Среди детей инвалидов как в возрастной категории от 0 до 18 лет в целом, так и от 0 до 7 и от 8 до 17 в частности по половому составу преобладают мужчины. Анализ показателей первичной инвалидности среди детей, проживающих в сельских районах и в городах Челябинской области, свидетельствует о том, что в сельской местности уровень первичной инвалидности достоверно ниже. В связи с противоэпидемическими мероприятиями, призванными ограничить распространение новой коронавирусной инфекции COVID-19, медико-социальная экспертиза осуществляется заочно с марта 2020 года, что привело к достоверному росту показателей повторно переосвидетельствованных. В нозологической структуре детей, впервые признанных инвалидами, преобладают «Психические расстройства и расстройства поведения», второе ранговое место занимают «Врожденные аномалии (пороки развития), деформации и хромосомные нарушения» за весь период с 2019 по 2021 гг.

Современные подходы к организации оптимальных условий работы регистратуры городской детской поликлиники за счет устранения потерь путем создания новой модели медицинской организации, оказывающей первичную медико-санитарную помощь, явились первыми пошаговыми этапами при осуществлении проекта «Бережливая поликлиника». Достижение поставленной цели потребовало решения комплекса организационных и технических вопросов для преобразования здания бывшей республиканской детской больницы (построенной в 1964 г.) и размещённой в нём после капитального ремонта городской детской поликлиники (с 1992 г.) в современное педиатрическое медицинское учреждение в соответствии с критериями проекта «Бережливая поликлиника». Изменившийся подход к организации оказания медицинских услуг повысил качество их оказания.

Modern approaches to the organization of optimal working conditions for the registration of the city children's polyclinic by eliminating losses by creating a new model of a medical organization providing primary health care were the first step-by-step stages in the implementation of the Lean Polyclinic project. Achieving this goal required the solution of a set of organizational and technical issues for the transformation of the building of the former republican children's hospital (built in 1964) and located in it after a major renovation of the city children's polyclinic (since 1992) into a modern pediatric medical institution in accordance with the project criteria "Lean Clinic". The changed approach to the organization of the provision of medical services has increased the quality of their provision.

Наличие у пациента дисплазии соединительной ткани, вероятно, является неблагоприятным фактором индукции тяжелых токсических последствий злокачественных новообразований и трудностями проведения реабилитационных мероприятий. Заключение. Все это требует применения комплексного, мультидисциплинарного подхода ведения пациентов с проявлениями дисплазии соединительной ткани в реабилитационном периоде.

Introduction. The authors presented data on the combination of connective tissue dysplasia and somatic pathology, including malignant neoplasms of various organs and systems. The aim of this publication is to describe the course of BCOR sarcoma in a patient after completion of antitumor therapy, who is undergoing rehabilitation at the Russkoe Pole Medical and Rehabilitation Research Center. Results. A 10-year-old patient treated with a diagnosis of BCOR sarcoma of the L3 vertebra is described. A feature of this clinical observation is the development of multiple complications of anticancer therapy. The presence of connective tissue dysplasia in a patient is likely to be an unfavorable factor in the induction of severe toxic effects of malignant neoplasms and difficulties in carrying out rehabilitation measures. Conclusion. All this requires the use of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to managing patients with manifestations of connective tissue dysplasia in the rehabilitation period.

POLITICS WITH AND WITHOUT ROMANCE: DANTE�S MONARCHIA VERSUS MACHIAVELLI�S IL PRINCIPE
Authors: Neck Reinhard
Published: May 2023

This paper contrasts Monarchia by Dante Alighieri with Il Principe by Niccolo Machiavelli. It is argued that the Principe not only incorporates the realities of politics but is also superior to the Monarchia as a scientific work because it avoids the latter�s commitment to scholastic philosophy and has greater empirical relevance and logical consistency. Moreover, it can serve to some extent as a role model for an approach to a positive analysis of politics even today.

According to the main principle of Social Aesthetics of French philosopher and sociologist Jean-Marie Guyau [in the work �Problems of Contemporary Aesthetics�] the aesthetic ideal of art has a meaning by presentive only social sympathy aesthetics; A German philosopher and aesthetician Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten discusses the highest aesthetic value of art by social point of view [in the work �Aesthetics�], supports the main principle of his theory of art � life reaches its highest intensity in the socium as cooperation and collaboration and communication and in order to make it solid, it must deserve social sympathy � and unchangeably takes it into his theory of aesthetics.

ERWIN PANOFSKY�S ICONOLOGY AND THE ANALYSIS OF MUSICAL COMPOSITION: ON SEARCHING NEW SEMANTIC STRATEGIES
Authors: Rovenko Elena
Published: May 2023

The paper offers a renewed interest for Erwin Panofsky�s iconology, which consists of the applying of this concept and analytical method to musical art per se. Although Panofsky himself did not intend to introduce his methodology into the sphere of music, he establishes correlations between some musical compositions and painting. Thus, Panofsky felt the presence of certain general laws of the formation of structure of the artistic whole in painting and music. In terms of iconology, music, like painting, presupposes the original hermeneutic algorithm, which consists of three steps. Firstly, the �purely formal perception� generates the factual meaning and consists of primary ordering of expressive means and unconscious establishing of their relations; and the �emphatic� perception produces the expressional meaning that is induced by the modality of an artwork and properties of expressive means. Secondly, the intelligible signification depends on conventional meanings assigned to expressive means. Thirdly, the aesthetic synthesis depends on an author�s intention, causes the content and consists of considering each of constructive and expressive means (strokes, color areas, lines, sounds, chords, modes) as a sense-generating unit. In the same epoch and in the same style these units have the equal intentional characteristics within the boundaries of a concrete art because of transmitting the same symbolic values (Ernst Cassirer) relating to space, time, mentality and world perception. This paper presents the applying of this three-step algorithm to musical artworks in total.

Published: May 2023

The primary purpose of the paper is to present research analysis which aims to recognize the art of Kosovan piano music through analysis for interpretation as a relatively new discipline born in the late �90s that today in the world counts numerous publications.
The qualitative-descriptive methodology is used in this paper. It entails interpreting and analyzing music, with a focus on Rauf Dhomi�s Opus �70 Pieces for Piano�. Many European countries have previously experienced the splendor and enchantment of the Renaissance, but Kosovo is currently undergoing a true Renaissance following its independence in 2008. The general characteristics of the Kosovan Renaissance have been reflected in less than twenty years, with a clean impetus and energy that has built through time in the entire nation, includingall aspects of life, and thus the sphere of art, and the magical world of music. Despite the challenges that the Kosovan artist has faced in the past, he still has the ability to overlook themin favor of the beautiful and magical. That is why the Renaissance�s magic lives on now, granting many artists in the arts, such as instrumentalists, vocalists, and composers, a well- deserved place in Europe�s and the world�s most prominent stages.
URBAN CULTURAL PRACTICES AS A MIRROR OF THE MODERNIZATION OF LATE 19TH CENTURY SOCIETY AND LIFESTYLE IN AUGUSTS DEGLAVS� NOVEL �RIGA�
Authors: Genese-Plaude Inta
Published: May 2023

The study focuses on the late 19th century city as an equivalent of the formation of a modern society. In fiction, especially in novels, the depiction of the 19th/20th century city has always attracted attention as a reflection of the formation of modern society through portrayals of both daily life and the development trends of the era's ideas. Writer, publicist, social activist Augusts Deglavs (1862�1922) created a unique portrait of the modernization of the city in Latvian literature with his novel �Riga� (�Riga�) (part 1 in 1912, part 2 in 1921). The novel demonstrates the awakening of Latvians and their formation as a cultural nation in a multicultural society in the conditions of double colonialism in the second half of the 19th century. One of the focal points of the novel is the diverse spectrum of cultural practices in an emerging industrial and multicultural society. The novel shows that cultural practices are determined by power hegemony and confrontation, various social experiences, ethnic, professional, religious affiliations, ideologies, behavioural norms and mass cultural emancipation. The research was conducted in a culture-oriented perspective, involving the social sciences and the current interdisciplinary approach. The approach of Cultural Studies and New Historicism method are used, with which it is possible to discover how Augusts Deglavs� novel is rooted in the cultural practices, circulation of ideas and historical developments of the era. New Historicism looks at literature as one of the voices in the polyphony of history or an era, a voice which can sound just as powerful in content as the voice of history and culture itself, because literature is one of the links in the chain of cultural processes.

Minors involved in administrative or judicial proceedings are severely affected by the experience of their going through. This is why it is required a supplementing of the legislation with provisions that can support minors in order to express themselves without coercions and without fear, and their rights to be respected in the interaction with public authorities. This implies the training of all categories of professionals who interact with minors in these legal procedures, in the sense of knowing the basic notions of child psychology, but also notions from the legislation applicable to the field of minor protection. The regulation of these aspects can be achieved by adopting common normative acts at national level, after a detailed analysis of the relevant case law and the rules already applicable in the field of child protection. Law No. 272/2004 on the protection and promotion of the rights of the child details only part of the rights that a minor has in Romania. Its provisions have to be supplemented with those found in domestic and international law and with a series of updated procedures, instructions or methodological norms. At this time, the rights of the child are established in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, in the Guidelines of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe concerning Justice in the Interest of the Child, in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, in the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child, in the Council of Europe Strategy on the Rights of the Child (2016-2021) etc. Notwithstanding, they must be permanently updated and correlated so that at national level the child can plenarily benefit from their existence.
HOUSEHOLDS AND COMPANIES� ECONOMIC PERCEPTION DURING PANDEMIC TIMES � AN EXPLORATORY APPROACH
Authors: Boitan Iustina Alina
Published: May 2023

The paper aims at assessing the amplitude of the change in households and business environment perception and confidence regarding the economic prospects in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is employed an exploratory unsupervised technique called cluster analysis, by using two proxy variables computed and published periodically by OECD, namely the consumer confidence index and the business confidence index. The focus is on the 23 European countries which are members of the OECD. The analysis has been run distinctly for two time periods, namely April 2019 (representing a normal time) and April 2020 (a period characterized by the most severe restrictions and lockdown). The results show an increase of the pessimistic attitude in 2020, with a peak for the business environment. In 2019, the dissimilarity between countries was mainly due to the more conservative or prudent expectations of the business environment, meanwhile in 2020 the cross-country dissimilarity is amplified by the values recorded by both confidence indicators.
THE INTERACTION OF SCIENCE AND BUSINESS AS A FACTOR IN THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ECONOMY: CASE OF LATVIA
Authors: Vasilevska Daina , Rivza Baiba
Published: May 2023

The formation of an innovative economy means the transformation of the intellect, the creative potential of a person into a leading factor in economic growth and national competitiveness. The source of high incomes is not only the possibility of obtaining income from the use of natural resources, due to the high world market conditions, but also the production of new ideas, technologies and social innovations. The interaction between business and science arises in the field of innovation, so it is easy to trace the connection between economic development and scientific inventions and discoveries. The creation of a productive alliance of science and business is by far the most promising direction for the development of the economy in Latvia. Most researchers note the positive impact of industrial-scientific cooperation on the processes of innovation activity. The purpose of this study is to identify factors hindering the introduction of innovative developments in Latvian enterprises. The authors analyzed the main strategies for interaction between business and science, identified the main factors influencing the effectiveness of this cooperation and identified the main factors influencing the commercialization of innovations. The main problem of interaction between business and science is the almost complete lack of coordination between science and the real sector of the economy.

DECISION-MAKING STRATEGIES IN INTERNAL CONFLICT SITUATIONS
Authors: Cekuls Andrejs , Cekule Laila
Published: May 2023

The result of a decision in situations of internal conflict is influenced not only by emotions and experience, but also by age. The main life decision-making process for young people is more limited. Today, information overload and time constraints have a strong impact on the decision-making process, including risks and trends such as delays, transfers and redeployment. Factors such as emotional state, skills to manage emotions and experience are becoming important factors in decision making. Self-regulation plays an important role in leading the process. Dissatisfaction with the end result of the decision is a key factor for young people to evaluate or review their decision-making process. Managing emotions in internal conflict situations can improve the execution of decisions in the future and make them less dependent on the pressure of internal conflict. An important factor influencing the end result of young people's decisions is increased risk-taking. It is important for business students to acquire adequate information processing strategies, increase decision-making competence and problemsolving skills, taking into account the relatively high ability of young people to respond to non-standard situations.
The aim of this study is to assess what determines the decision-making strategies of business students in situations of internal conflict, taking into account the emotional risks that affect alternatives. The tasks of the research are to analyze the decisionmaking tendencies of business students, the conditions that can directly and indirectly influence the final outcome of the decision.
The study was conducted using the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire: a tool for measuring decision-making conflict management models. The questionnaire is designed to assess trends in the use of the 3 main coping models identified in decisionmaking conflict theory: vigilance, hypervigilance, and defensive avoidance. A sample of 81 university business students from Latvia was administered the MDMQ.
Research has shown that in trying to avoid internal conflicts caused by emotional situations, individuals can ignore or deny important information about the potential risks of the process, or even avoid them, uncritically accepting any alternative, procrastinating or imposing responsibilities on others.

Authors: Rivza Baiba , Grinevica Liva
Published: May 2023

The Covid-19 crisis has contributed to the growing structural imbalances in the labour market. Both unemployment in general and youth unemployment makes serious consequences in the economy and development for the people, undermining the pillars of human well-being and better living conditions. Young people have disadvantage in finding a job, especially those with low skills, without education and job experience. Those young people are often discriminated when they want to enter the labour market. Youth employment became a major challenge for governments in the European Union as well as employers. As it is known, youth unemployment promotes serious consequences not only for the young unemployed but also for the state economics.
The aim of the paper is to identify the importance of youth unemployment due to Covid-19 pandemic and draw the society�s attention to the consequences. In the paper, the authors provide a better understanding of losses for the country due to unemployed young people by analysing the cost of youth unemployment in the European Union using the gross domestic product (GDP) approach.
MANAGING INTERCULTURAL SKILLS AND CROSS-CULTURAL PRACTICES THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES
Authors: Takacs Ildiko-Csilla
Published: May 2023

In the world of academia, research and teaching are never really disconnected interests. On the contrary, they co-exist in a virtuous circle, where each feed into the other and focus on the interdisciplinary frameworks, which motivate the innovative structures of higher education and maintain discourse relations by providing in a concise way, an ocean of information about abstract knowledge. The implementation of interdisciplinary subjects, such as innovative language strategies, effective Intercultural Communication, and cross-disciplinary practices could be as challenging as esteemed for continuous professional development.
The research area includes various aspects related to interdisciplinary fields by integrating socio-cultural data and cross-cultural dimensions with soft skills invariably serving as a point of reference; its interdisciplinary nature, owing to the developments in language, business, and intercultural research which have influenced its evolution. Intercultural studies, as well as experimental work, reveal that critical thinking can be trained to use task performance of the learning strategy that affects the way people process, acquire, organise, or integrate new knowledge. Provided academics adjoin the assumptions presented by cognitive sciences to the configuration of Figurative Competence, training learners� cognitive skills both at the conceptual and the verbal level becomes a necessary obligation.
The aim of the interdisciplinary approach is to offer mentally challenging analytical thinking and reasoning with a focus on comprehension, strategies of effective communication and control through the implementation of cognitive models. Thus, insightful thoughtfulness, enhanced by explicit analysis and teaching in particular domains is supportive when encountering new paradigms to make a contrastive study of an interdisciplinary subject for reasons connected to the methodology of research.

The aim of the work is to compose a synthesis of the main theories on the subject, giving greater priority to the qualitative method. Thanks to the theoretical reference and the knowledge acquired through the studies selected and conducted so far, and in the certainty of positive answers, we intend to draw suggestions, guide and promote interventions and aids for learning in subjects with autism spectrum disorder. This type of disorder includes a "persistent deficit of social communication and social interaction in multiple contexts ..." (DSM-5, 2014, p.57)[1]. Among the theories reported, those of L. Kanner, H. Asperger, R.P. Hobson, U. Frith, G. Rizzolatti and S. Baron-Cohen. Specialists arrive at the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder thanks to specific characteristics that are indicated, through codes, as specifiers in the ICF. From these it is possible to deduce and identify the best approach methods for each individual helping person.
The interventions that are compared here are essentially related to music therapy, the ABA method (Applied Behavioral Analysis), the ToM method (Theory of Mind), the FTP method (Floor Time Play) and the enactive mind. Examples, these, more fitting with the purpose and the reference method.
EFFECT OF A 4-WEEK MINDFULNESS INTERVENTION ON SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOL USE DISORDER AMONG HUNGARIAN ADULTS
Authors: Veress Emoke
Published: May 2023

Most empirical studies on mindfulness-based interventions� effects on alcohol use problems are carried out in the Western, and very few in the Hungarian population. In this randomized-controlled pilot study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training�s mindfulness exercises on Alcohol Use Disorder symptoms. We hypothesized that the mindfulness intervention would significantly reduce the AUD symptoms. Our sample consists of Hungarian adults at risk for alcohol use disorder. We screened 93 individuals, out of which we randomized 36 into the intervention or passive control groups. We measured the alcohol use, craving, positive, negative affectivity, and mindfulness level. We collected the outcome data at the end of the one-month mindfulness intervention and follow-up data one month later. To test our hypotheses, we use mixed design ANOVA. We expect that the mindfulness intervention will significantly decrease alcohol consumption, craving, and negative emotions while increasing positive emotions in the intervention group compared to the control group. If our expectations are met, we can conclude that the DBT-ST mindfulness exercises are efficient in decreasing alcohol problems and negative emotions in the Hungarian at-risk sample. So far, we have not received valid results due to the large dropout of participants.

In recent years, the topic of executive functions has been in the focus of clinical psychology because of the associations that have been observed between the appearance of several clinical symptoms and the underdevelopment of executive functions. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions - Adult Version (BRIEF - A) is a self-reporting questionnaire which aims to measure constructs of the executive functions, such as shifting, inhibitory control, emotion regulation, self-monitoring, initiating, working memory, planning/organizing, task-monitoring, and material organizing. The aim of the study is to create a shorter version of the questionnaire, as well as to examine its psychometric properties, its reliability and validity on a population of 289 Transylvanian Hungarian adults. The three factor model resulting from the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed good fit indices (CFI = .946, ?2/df = 1.88, RMSEA = .056, GFI = .918) during the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), thus assuring construct validity. The short version of the questionnaire proved to be reliable (Cronbach ? = .898) and valid in measuring the executive functions among the Transylvanian Hungarian adult population.

Published: May 2023

Given the demographic situation in Latvia, the decline in the working-age population and the increase in the number of persons with disabilities (PwD), it is necessary to address the employment issues for disabled people. Therefore, it is relevant to integrate the factors affecting the employment of people with disabilities into a coherent system to address the employment problem. Only 47.2% of the working-age population with disabilities were employed in Latvia in 2021, while the employment rate in the general age group between 15 and 64 was 69.9% as stated in Ministry of Welfare reports. The aim of this study is to develop employment ecosystem for persons with disabilities in Latvia in order to reduce the gap between the employment rate of PwD and those without disabilities. This is done by undertaking the following research tasks: 1) to analyse the employment situation with regards to PwD in Latvia; 2) to study methodologies of ecosystem approach; 3) to analyse the factors influencing employment ecosystem for PwD, and 4) to identify the most critical aspects of the ecosystem. Employment of people with disabilities is affected by various socio-economic and legal, subjective and objective factors. Various stakeholders with their own interests are involved in promoting employment. The analysis, grouping and interpretation of statistical data of public administration institutions was employed. The study is based on previous researches done by the authors: legal system affected employment of persons with disabilities studied, survey of persons with disabilities analysed, exploration of the interests of those involved in employment issues. As the result, methodological approach for employment ecosystem of PwD in Latvia was developed.
MIGRANT WOMEN'S NETWORKS AND THE CARE SECTOR
Authors: Corvino Isabella , Nanetti Sara
Published: May 2023

This work aims to propose a reading and analysis of the behaviors of migrant women's networks (Granovetter 1973)[7] and imaginal and cultural dynamics that are triggered when they come into contact with the health and care sector. The relevance of the migration network before and during the migratory experience has already been dealt with in sociology but the possible influence of this, both positive and negative, in the integration process and during transition phases in which we deal with the theme of health or the problematization of tradition and culture of origin need further deepening. The network is a fundamental resource to facilitate anticipatory socialization processes and to support subjects in their integration into the destination country but can also cause tensions at the individual and network level.
The methodology chosen for the survey is that of the analysis of second-level sources and qualitative interviews with the health personnel who usually deal with these women. Semi-structured interviews provided qualitative data while creating understanding of the issue for both the researcher as well as the interviewees. The moment of contact with the health sector is identified in that of childbirth and care as a significant time from a personal and collective point of view. The desire for safety and tradition confronts women with new approaches that are not always welcome. The birth of a new family unit in another context turns out to be an important moment to address issues related to the transmission of culture, the management of the network in a phase of rooting and the comparison of subjects with well-defined regulatory and social frameworks. Author think that the chosen methodology could be useful to study the �resistance level� of migrants to new cultural approaches perceived as an attack to identity (Corvino 2021)[4].
