Air compressors are widely used in factories to power automation systems and store energy. Several studies have been conducted on the performance of reciprocating and screw compressors. Advancements in design and manufacturing techniques, such as generative design and topology optimization, are leading to improved performance and turbomachinery growth. This work presents a methodology to design and manufacture air compressor pistons using topology optimization and metal additive manufacturing. The existing piston is converted to 3D CAD data and topology optimization is conducted to reduce material in stress concentration regions. Thermal and mechanical loads are considered in boundary conditions. The results show reduced material and improved efficiency, which is validated using ANSYS fluent. The optimized 3D model of the piston is too complex for conventional subtractive manufacturing, so laser sintering 3D printing is proposed. Honeycomb pattern infill patterns are used in 3D printing. This investigation is a step toward researching similar methods in other reciprocating compressor components such as cylinder, cylinder head, piston pins, crankshaft, and connecting rods, which will ultimately lead to improved compressor efficiency.
An overview on eco-friendly polyglycerol esters of fatty acid, synthesis and applications
Authors: Damle Suruchi , Madankar Chandu
Published: October 2023

Polyglycerol esters (PEGs) which are non-ionic surfactants acting as emulsifiers, wetting agents and viscosity modifying agents are used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries. They have been proposed as an alternative to ethoxylated glycol-based non-ionic surfactants due to safety issues. PGEs are composed of fatty acid, which is a lipophilic moiety, and polyglycerol, which is a hydrophilic moiety. They are synthesized by several methods, such as direct esterification of fatty acids and polyglycerols, chemical transesterification of fatty acid methyl esters and polyglycerol, enzymatic transesterification using Lipozyme 435, using glycerol carbonate as raw material, using microwave irradiation, etc. PGEs (Polyglycerol esters) are claimed to be green alternatives to the existing emulsifiers used in the chemical industry as the raw material used for synthesis is obtained from vegetable oils which are renewable, and therefore, eco-friendly surfactants for use in a broad number of applications including food, cosmetics, textiles and personal care. The major challenges in the synthesis of polyglycerol fatty acid esters are to increase yield and control the esterification level while minimising side reactions.

Why Economic Growth Stimulates More Growth in Some Countries Rather than Others
Authors: Cohn Samuel , Morales Jose , Poe Madison , Li Yilin , Bassett Bryson
Published: October 2023

Leontief multipliers are an important component of economic growth. However, input–output analysis is generally treated as a methodological tool for studying other questions in development. The size of multipliers themselves is of interest, as they determine how much nations benefit economically from the growth of base industries. Of the three types of multipliers—industrial supply purchases by firms, consumer goods purchases by workers, and growth derived from all sources—only the first has attracted attention in the global value chain literature; the other two have been neglected. We use OECD data on a large sample of nations in 2005, 2010, and 2015 to show that significant cross-national and inter-industrial differences exist in the size of multipliers. Contrary to expectations, higher-income countries can sometimes have lower multipliers than lower-income countries. The largest multipliers tend to be in the global South. We then provide a model explaining the differences in multipliers in terms of the domesticity of purchases, the wage intensity of production, the geographical size of the country, and the changing roles of GDP per capita and education as societies develop. The significance of these findings for development policy is discussed.

Collaborative Governance Model on The Guidance of Terrorist Parolees (Case Study in Surakarta Parole Office)
Authors: Budiyanto Sigit , Nurdin Nurliah , Utomo Tri Widodo Wahyu , Sutrisno Edy , Karunia R. Luki
Published: October 2023

This research delves into the collaborative governance framework concerning the reintegration guidance of terrorist parolees, as exemplified by the Surakarta Parole Office. Terrorism, a global concern, is defined as a criminal undertaking intended to overtly propagate fear and panic, perpetrated by specific factions either for ideological or distinct political motives. Addressing terrorism necessitates the concerted efforts of multiple stakeholders. Within the realm of Corrections, Parole Offices assume the responsibility of aiding terrorist parolees in their societal reintegration. However, the current level of collaboration between the Parole Office and stakeholders in this particular endeavor remains suboptimal. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to this issue, employing a qualitative methodology with a descriptive orientation. Through meticulous data analysis, it is revealed that collaborative governance in the context of guiding terrorist parolees within the Surakarta Parole Office is not functioning at its full potential due to several factors, aligned with the four dimensions of Ansell and Gash's (2007) collaborative governance model, namely Starting Conditions, Collaborative Process, Facilitative Leadership, Institutional Design, and Outcome. To optimize the collaborative framework for guiding terrorist parolees, this research proposes an enhanced collaborative governance model building upon the foundation laid by Ansell and Gash. This model advocates for a comprehensive collaborative approach involving pertinent multi-actors.
Data-driven soft sensors in refining processes – Pulp property estimation using ARX – models
Authors: Karlström Anders , Hill Jan , Johansson Lars
Published: October 2023

This paper focuses on estimation of shives(wide) and fiber length in RGP82CD-refiners using an AutoRegressive eXogenous (ARX) structure in a data-driven soft sensor concept. Both external and internal variables are considered as model inputs. The pulp properties were sampled every 15 min from an on-line device positioned after the latency chest, whereas other process data were sampled every 6 seconds. Notably, despite the high data sampling rate, the development of robust models necessitated a dataset spanning over two months of process information. The external variables studied in this paper were specific energy, the sawmill chip content, plate gaps, and dilution water feed rates to each refining zone. Additional internal variables, such as the inlet flat zone temperature, the maximum temperature, and the periphery temperature in the conical zone, were also used as model inputs. It was concluded that both shives(wide) and fiber length can be estimated with relatively good accuracy although large uncertainties exist in the measured properties. Finally, it was shown that fast pulp property dynamics in the blow-line can be followed, which outperforms current practices of using pulp measurement devices positioned after the latency chest. This offers implementation of more advanced future pulp property control concepts.

Published: October 2023

Background: Information about the availability and accessibility of diagnostics and treatments for heart failure (HF) is sparse. The aim of this study was to describe the gaps in the diagnosis and treatment of HF in member countries of the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology using an online survey. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among medical professionals practising in member countries of the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology who provide care to patients with HF. The participants answered an English online self-administered questionnaire. Results: The study included 257 respondents from 26 countries or regions. The majority of respondents (58%) responded that 50% or fewer of their patients would have natriuretic peptide levels checked during the hospital stay. More than half of the respondents (52%) said that more than 50% of their patients had access to transthoracic echocardiography. For mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, angiotensin receptor–neprolysin inhibitors and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, the proportion with access was 86%, 84% and 81%, respectively. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals in the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology member countries identified substantial gaps in the availability of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for HF in their areas of practice. Natriuretic peptide testing was less available than transthoracic echocardiography, which is the primary diagnostic modality for HF in the region. At least 10% had no access to mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, angiotensin receptor–neprolysin inhibitors or sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in their centres.

USER EVALUATION-DRIVEN RANKING CONCEPT
Authors: Zosimov V. V. , Bulgakova O. S. , Perederyi V. I.
Published: October 2023

Context. The problem of personalizing search engine results, empowering users with search result management tools and developing new ranking models based on user’s subjective information needs. The object of the study was to modeling information search results in the Internet based on user ratings.

Objective. The goal of the work is to form unique expert groups for each user, based on calculating the measure of agreement between the current user’s opinions and potential experts.

Method. Introducing a novel method for ranking search results based on user ratings, which takes a subjective approach to the ranking process. This approach involves the formation of distinct expert groups tailored to individual users. Experts are selected based on the level of agreement between their opinions and the current user, determined by shared ratings on a specific set of web resources. User selection for the expert group is based on their weight relative to the current user, serving as a measure of agreement.

The proposed methodology offers a fresh approach to forming unique expert groups for each user, utilizing three different strategies depending on the presence of shared ratings on a particular set of web resources between the user and potential experts.

The developed ranking method ensures that each user receives a personalized list of web resources with a distinct order. This is accomplished by incorporating unique ratings from the expert group members associated with each user. Furthermore, each rating contributes to the ranking model of web resources with an individual weight, calculated based on an analysis of their past system activity.

Results. The developed methods have been implemented in software and investigated for complex web data operation in real time.

Conclusions. The conducted experiments have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed software and recommend its practical use for solving complex web data operation in real time. Prospects for further research may include optimizing software implementations and conducting experimental investigations of the proposed methods on more complex practical tasks of various nature and dimensions
POLYNOMIAL ESTIMATION OF DATA MODEL PARAMETERS WITH NEGATIVE KURTOSIS
Authors: Chepynoha V. V. , Chepynoha A. V. , Palahin V. V.
Published: October 2023

Context. The paper focuses on the problem of estimating the center of distribution of the random component of experimental data for density models with a negative kurtosis.

Objective. The goal of this research is to develop methods to improve the efficiency of polynomial estimation of parameters of experimental data with a negative kurtosis coefficient.

Method. The study applies a relatively new approach to obtaining estimates for the center of the probability distribution from the results of experimental data with a stochastic component. This approach is based on polynomial estimation methods that rely on the mathematical apparatus of Kunchenko's stochastic polynomials and the description of random variables by higher-order statistics (moments or cumulants). A number of probability density distributions with a negative kurtosis coefficient are used as models of the random component.

As a measure of efficiency, the ratio of variance of the estimates for the center of the distribution found using polynomial and classical methods based on the parameter of amount of information obtained is used.

The relative accuracy of polynomial estimates in comparison with the estimates of the mean, median and quantile estimates (center of curvature) is researched using the Monte Carlo method for multiple tests.

Results. Polynomial methods for estimating the distribution center parameter for data models of probability distribution density with a negative kurtosis coefficient have been constructed.

Conclusions. The research carried out in this paper confirms the potentially high efficiency of polynomial estimates of the coordinates of the center of the experimental data, which are adequately described by model distributions with a negative kurtosis. Statistical modeling has confirmed the effectiveness of the obtained estimates in comparison with the known non-parametric estimates based on the statistics of the mean, median, and quantile, even with small sample sizes.

Authors: Makarova M. A. , Balde R. , Boiro M. , Matveeva Z. N. , Kaftyreva L. A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Diarrheal diseases are a global public health issue and cause 15% of deaths in children under 5 years old, of which about 80% occur in the regions of Africa and Southeast Asia. According to the Global Enteric Multicentre Study (GEMS) conducted in a number of African countries, one of the leading pathogens of high risk of death in infants and young children is diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC). In recent decades, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become globally ubiquitous. The Republic of Guinea urgently needs large-scale studies devoted to assessing DEC distribution and antibiotic resistance. The purpose of the study is to assess the pattern of E. coli infections and to test the susceptibility to antibiotics in strains of diarrheagenic E. coli sampled from individuals residing in the Republic of Guinea.

Materials and methods. From 2019 to 2022, we studied 724 samples of faeces of patients with acute diarrhea, among them 72 (9.9%) children aged 1–5 years, 128 (17.7%) children aged 6–17 years, and 524 (72.4%) people aged 18 years and older; a method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied with the use of the AmpliSense® Escherichioses-FL reagent kit to identify the genetic determinants of DEC: EPEC, EHEC, ETEC, EIEC, and EAgEC (Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, Russia). Susceptibility to 15 antimicrobial agents was found by the disc-diffusion method using Mueller–Hinton agar (Russia) and Oxoid discs (UK). Results were interpreted according EUCAST criteria, versions 2019–2022 (https://www.eucast.org/ast_of_bacteria/previous_versions_of_documents).

Results. For the period from 2019 to 2022, the percentage of E. coli infections in the etiological pattern of acute intestinal infections amounted to 51.7%. In the age-related manner, DEC was significantly more common in young children aged 0–5 (96.9%, p 0.05) as compared to school age children aged 6–17 (53.9%) and adults (45.6%). In all years of observation, EAgEC strains prevailed, accounting for 38.4%. Other DEC pathotypes, EPEC, ETEC, EIEC and STEC, accounted for 27.2%, 17.5%, 11.8%, and 5.1%, respectively. DEC strains are susceptible to meropenem, amikacin, and nitrofurantoin. The activity of other antibiotics ranged from 11.3% for ampicillin, 28.3% for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and 34.0% for tetracycline to 73.6% for cephalosporins, 84.0% for aminoglycosides, and 98.1% for fluorinated quinolones.

Conclusion. To reduce the burden of diarrheal diseases in the Republic of Guinea, it may be necessary to conduct targeted epidemiological and microbiological studies to identify DEC and monitor the development of antimicrobial resistance of E. coli infection pathogens in the population.

Introduction. Since May 2022, an unusually large number of new monkeypox infections-a previously rare viral zoonotic disease, mainly reported from central and western Africa has been reported globally, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency in July 2022. We aimed to systematically review the monkeypox virus epidemiology, pathogenesis, transmission, presentations, and outcomes.

Materials and methods. Our aim is to systematically review the epidemiology, pathogenesis, manifestations, and outcomes of Monkeypox disease. We searched the keywords in the online databases of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science and investigated all English articles until December 2022. In order to ascertain the findings, this study adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. In order to optimize the quality, this review study benefits from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. To minimize any probable bias risk, we utilized the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) risk assessment tool.

Results. The most prevalent symptoms were rash and fever. The infection was accompanied by different complications such as, but not limited to, encephalitis (mainly in children), septicemia, bacterial cellulitis, retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal abscesses, etc. A wide range of hospitalization from 3.7% to 100% has been reported. The mortality rate ranged from 0% to 23%, which mainly occurred in infants and children. High mortality of the monkeypox rate was reported among pregnant women. The mortality rate of monkeypox is lower among women and those who received the smallpox vaccine compared to men and those who did not receive the vaccine. A wide range of the overall second-rate attack was reported, which is more pronounced in unvaccinated patients.

Conclusion. In our systematic review of 35 studies on monkeypox, we cast light on the existing evidence on its epidemiology, pathogenesis, manifestation, and outcomes. Further studies are needed to elucidate the natural history of the disease in various patients’ population, as well as detailing the monkeypox attack rate.
Avansert hjemmesykehus – en effektiviseringsstrategi legitimert av barns beste
Authors: Grødem Marit , Horne Rolf
Published: October 2023

Artikkelen undersøker de sosiale vilkårene for etableringen av Avansert hjemmesykehus (AHS) for barn og unge i Norge. Undersøkelsen er inspirert av Pierre Bourdieus teoretiske univers og tar utgangspunkt i begrepene felt, kapital og habitus, hvor habitus ifølge Bourdieu er særlig viktig for å gi felt- og kapitalbegrepet mening.
Formålet med artikkelen er å analysere frem og formidle mulige forklaringer på hvordan det kan være at det etableres satellittfunksjoner fra sykehusene, slik AHS fremstår å være. Artikkelen undersøker posisjoneringer i en rekke dokumenter fra kilder som representerer ulike posisjoner med makt og innflytelse på inter- og intraorganisasjonelle prosesser som dels produserer, reproduserer og kjemper om hvor syke barn skal oppholde seg når de er under medisinsk behandling.
Studien viser at det var flere posisjoner involvert i kampen om hvor barn skal være under medisinsk behandling. Det identifiseres en rekke argument i spillet. Argumentene søker til dels å underbygge etableringen av AHS, men det finnes også argument som trekker i motsatt retning. Økonomiske vilkår ser ut til å ha fått størst gjennomslagskraft for å etablere Norges første AHS. Psykologiske hensyn, gjerne beskrevet som barnets beste og barns rettigheter, står som en motpol til økonomiske argument. I tillegg argumenteres det fra en ideologisk posisjon, hvor forestillinger om hva som er den ideelle måten å organisere helsetjenestene i fremtiden dominerer.

Participaron diez estudiantes de diversas carreras y semestres, de ocho universidades de México. A partir de los datos analizados se organizaron las respuestas por temáticas centradas en indagar los antecedentes educativos y las barreras de inclusión existentes en ES y cómo el alumnado con discapacidad visual las afronta. Los resultados apuntan a una mejora en la infraestructura para mayor accesibilidad y movilidad en los espacios comunes de interacción social, mayores apoyos tiflotecnológicos y tiflotécnicos para el acceso al aprendizaje, así como a la formación y capacitación docente en metodologías de enseñanza, ajustes razonables y diversificación del contenido. Se concluye con la reconsideración de los aspectos que obstaculizan la construcción del conocimiento y el aprendizaje del alumnado con DV y que son indispensables para su inclusión en las instituciones de educación superior.

Published: October 2023

Background
Electronic cigarettes are a mass consumption product with great market penetration, particularly among groups of young adults. Recently, attention has been drawn to the increasingly frequent reports of cases with vaping-related disease, leading to hospitalizations and death.
Methods
An ecological study was designed to characterize the use of these devices and the demand for vaping-related consultations in Colombia between 2020 and 2022. The National Health Service Registries and the 2019 National Survey of Psychoactive Consumption were used as data sources.
Results
Young adults and residents of Bogotá, Caldas, Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, and Boyacá had the highest consumption of e-cigarettes. Their consumption was associated with cigarette and marijuana use. The greatest reports of vaping-related disease occurred in adults over 45 years of age residing in the departments of Antioquia and Boyacá. 245 cases of vaping-related disease were reported. A total of 59 deaths were reported in the period evaluated.
The data suggest that in Colombia users are older than in other countries, which seems to relate to the costs associated with the devices. Preventive actions should begin at an early age, although adverse effects may not be observed until years later. In addition, there is a need to fill the knowledge gaps among health care professionals’ and the clinical skills to identifying and reporting vaping-related disease. Decision makers can already have data that allow health policies that prevent use and decrease cases of vaping-related disease.

184 specimens, collected by ten persons between 1890–1975 from Montenegro, were found in the Bryophyte Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Most of the specimens (40%) were collected near Herceg Novi in Boka Kotorska Bay. Another significant part of the specimens (35%) was collected in Kotor or in the surrounding of the town. 18% of the specimens derives from the Orjen Mts. The others are sporadic records from various parts of Montenegro. 80% of the specimens were unpublished. Most of the species found are common, widespread members of the Montenegrin flora, but some rare elements were also found. The Mediterranean, subMediterranean liverworts (Cephaloziella turneri, Myriocoleopsis minutissima, Scapania compacta and Southbya tophacea) from the surroundings of Herceg Novi that are rare in Montenegro are the most important from the point of view of nature conservation.
Sağlık Turizminin Tarihsel Gelişim Süreci (1923-2023)
Authors: GÜLENÇ Seher
Published: October 2023

İlk çağlardan itibaren insanların sağlık amacıyla termal suların bulunduğu yerlere gittikleri bilinmektedir. Geçmişi yüzyıllar öncesine dayanan sağlık turizminin Türkiye’deki tarihsel gelişimi farklı alt dalların da ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte çeşitlenerek gerçekleşmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, sağlık turizminin Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarından günümüze uzanan yolculuğunu Türkiye’de geçirdiği tarihi gelişim ve değişimi dönemler itibariyle ortaya koymaktır. İnceleme yaklaşımı benimsenen bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de 1923-2023 yılları arasında sağlık turizminde yaşanan kırılma noktaları kronolojik bir hat üzerinde ele alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye’deki sağlık turizminin yüzyıllık birikimi dönemselleştirme çabası içinde dört dönem üzerinden incelenmiştir. Bu dönemler “Kaplıca Merkezlerinin Açılışı (1923-1962)”, “Sosyal Termalizm Uygulamaları (1963-1983)”, “Sağlık Turizmine İlişkin Teşvik Politikaları (1985-2000)” ve “Reform Dönemi ve Eylem Planları (2001-2023)” şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Yapılan inceleme sonucunda yüzyıl öncesinde Türkiye’deki sağlık turizminin kaplıcalarla başladığı, termal turizm uygulamalarıyla canlandığı ve günümüzde medikal turizm, erişilebilir turizm ve ileri yaş turizmi odaklı politika ve eylem planları ile yükselen bir ivme kazandığı görülmüştür.
The Slayer Rule in the System of Legal Sanctions for Murder (on the Example of Anglo-Saxon Countries)
Authors: Shestak Viktor , Postoeva Eugenia
Published: October 2023

The article deals with issues related to the slayer rule in the framework of the common law system using the example of the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The slayer rule does not allow a person who killed or contributed to the death of another person to benefit from the murder. The positions reflected in judicial practice, as well as the legislative consolidation of the slayer rule, are analyzed. The slayer rule is a sanction on the borderline between civil and criminal law. Three principles according to which the slayer rule is applied are the intention of the testator, equity and morality. The application of the slayer rule is decided in accordance with established judicial practice and the discretion of the court. The authors discuss the application of the slayer rule in cases of manslaughter and murder committed in the situations of domestic violence. Some aspects of applying the slayer rule to murderers with mental disorders are considered. In some US states, the slayer rule applies not only in the case of murder, but also in the case of abuse of helpless elderly people for financial profit. The authors analyze judicial precedents and changes that affected the slayer rule throughout its existence.
İnformal İlişki Algısının Mesleki Profesyonelliğe Etkisinde Psikolojik Dayanıklılığın Aracı Etkisi
Authors: AKPOLAT Tuba , OĞUZ Ebru
Published: October 2023

Öğretmenler için mesleki profesyonellik, elde edilen teorik bilginin uygulamaya aktarılması olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu bağlamda mesleğe yeni başlayan öğretmenlerin mesleğin gerekliliklerine teorik bilgiye sahip olmalarına rağmen bu bilgiyi uygulamaya aktarmada çeşitli değişkenlerin etkili olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Aday öğretmenler için örgütte formal ya da informal ilişkiler yoluyla elde edilen bilgiler, uygulamaya ilişkin yeterlilikleri noktasında önemli olacaktır. Bununla birlikte, aday öğretmenler için yeni olan söz konusu uygulama sürecinde kurulan iletişimden mesleki profesyonelliğe ilişkin fayda sağlayabilmek, aday öğretmenlerin psikolojik olarak dayanıklı oldukları durumlarda daha kolay olacaktır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının informal ilişki algılarının mesleki profesyonellik üzerindeki etkisinde psikolojik dayanıklılığın aracılık etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın evrenini Batman İlinde görev yapan 199 aday öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama araçları olarak İnformal İlişki Ölçeği, Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği ve Mesleki Profesyonellik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veri seti yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmenlerin informal ilişki algısının mesleki profesyonelliği doğrudan olumlu yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının informal ilişki algılarının mesleki profesyonellik üzerindeki etkisine psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının kısmi aracılık ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına dayanarak, aday öğretmenlerin mesleki profesyonelliklerini geliştirebilmelerine olanak sağlayacak örgüt içi ya da dışında informal ilişkiler geliştirebilecekleri ortamlar yaratılması önerilmektedir.
How green are children’s rights institutions in the Visegrád countries?
Authors: Lux Ágnes
Published: October 2023

Environmental damages have already been clearly linked to human rights- and particularly children’s rights violations as climate change particularly affects the present (and future) generation of children, undermining the effective exercise of rights enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC), including the right to life, survival, and development, health, an adequate standard of living, education, and freedom from violence. With the almost universal ratification of the UN CRC, states have committed to the obligation to enforce children’s rights at all levels of society. In the possible best implementation of the UN CRC, independent human/children’s rights institutions (IH/CRIs) can play a vital role. However, many ICRIs still do not confront issues associated with environmental and climate change related to children’s rights. My main question was why these institutions are not (or are only barely) addressing these issues. In this paper, I focus on mapping the implementation of children's right to a healthy environment by analyzing the ICRIs in the Visegrád countries: Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia through descriptive and comparative techniques and a survey sent to dedicated institutions.
