Jineology: Kurdish “feminism” in the doctrine of democratic confederalism and the political system of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria (Rojava)
Authors: Błaszczyk Cezary
Published: November 2022

There can be no doubt that among many problems of the Middle East inadequate status of women is of paramount importance. It might come as a surprise, then, that the most radical doctrine of feminine emancipation was formulated by the Kurdish socialist freedom movement from Turkey and is being implemented in war-torn Syria in the de facto autonomy called the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, better known as “Rojava”. The doctrine is named jineology (in Kurdish jineolojî) and constitutes one of three pillars of democratic confederalism (together with libertarian democratic socialism and ecologism), the ideology of Abdullah Öcalan. Apo, as he is called, proposed a socialist revolution that would include women’s liberation and would take place in human hearts and minds rather than on the battlefields. First, the system of education needs to accept progressive methods and contents. Second, women ought to become active participants in the political, social, and economic life, especially in order to marginalize the state through creation of a multi-level self-government. Third, they need to be able to defend themselves (also physically) against men, nations-states waging wars, industrialists, and capitalists. The theoretical foundation of these changes is referred to as jineology, understood as a discipline belonging to social sciences, similar to gender studies. These are the ideals that are being implemented in Rojava and manifested in the Social Contract, the constitution of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria.
Crawley Films and Canada’s Audiovisual Infrastructure for Resource Extraction
Authors: Acland Charles R.
Published: November 2022

La compagnie Crawley Films, située à Ottawa, a été le principal producteur privé de films industriels et éducatifs au Canada entre 1939 et 1982. Alors que l’historiographie s’est penchée sur les œuvres éducatives et sur les incursions dans le domaine du long métrage de la compagnie, cet essai examine ses films commandités portant sur l’extraction des ressources naturelles. Pendant des décennies, Crawley Films a fourni aux réseaux audiovisuels du Canada et d’ailleurs un vaste catalogue qui faisait valoir les priorités nationales et celles des entreprises en matière d’utilisation des terres, de procédés industriels d’extraction et de colonisation. En se penchant sur l’industrie de l’aluminium et sur le film Generator 4 (1956), réalisé par Crawley Films pour Alcan, cet essai montre comment de telles productions, en films 16mm et 35mm, ont été reformatées selon les médias et les usages dans le cadre d’une infrastructure médiatique canadienne qui dépendait de l’infrastructure industrielle et en faisait la promotion.
Applicability of the Socioecological Model for Understanding and Reducing Consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods in Canada
Authors: Woods Nicolas , Gilliland Jason , Seabrook Jamie A.
Published: November 2022

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have become a major contributor to the diets of Canadians, with a recent report from Statistics Canada suggesting Canadians are consuming almost one-half of their calories from UPFs. Research has linked UPF consumption with increased risk for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, among others. This paper sought to investigate the popularity of UPFs, particularly among children and teens, utilizing the socioecological model as a framework to illustrate how influences at multiple levels (i.e., public policy, organizational, community, interpersonal, and individual) have played a role in the proliferation of UPFs. Evidence from previous studies is used to identify how factors at different levels may influence UPF consumption and discuss potential strategies for reducing UPF consumption. To meaningfully reduce UPF consumption among Canadians, all levels should be considered, with the goal of creating a healthier Canadian population.
Safe, Seen, and Supported: Navigating Eating Disorders Recovery in the 2SLGBTQ+ Communities
Authors: White Megan , Jones Shaleen , Joy Phillip
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Our purpose was to explore the experiences of self-identifying Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (2SLGBTQ+) Canadians in treatments for their eating disorders (EDs). By knowing more about their experiences, we hoped to better understand how dietitians and ED service providers can better support 2SLGBTQ+ clients.

Methods: Ten self-identifying 2SLGBTQ+ individuals reporting concerns regarding body image or eating patterns, as well as accessing support services or treatments, within Canada were recruited through social media platforms. Participants took part in semi-structured interviews. Data were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results: Four themes are presented: (i) feelings of judgement and otherness, (ii) experiencing shame in EDs and 2SLGBTQ+ identity, (iii) perceiving a lack of understanding and knowledge, and (iv) sharing lived experiences with the care team.

Conclusions: Increased focus on trauma-informed approaches to ED treatment in 2SLGBTQ+ populations are indicated so that 2SLGBTQ+ clients feel comfortable to share. Increased education in 2SLGBTQ+ terminology and gender expression is recommended for dietetic professionals. We also recommend increased recruitment efforts for more diverse care teams.
Challenges, Lessons Learned, and Implications for Conducting Nutrition/Health Research in Canadian Federal Correctional Facilities
Authors: Johnson Claire
Published: November 2022

While conducting nutrition/health research into weight changes during incarceration and related determinants, it became apparent that the correctional setting in Canada was unique and required study design modifications to ensure study success. Consequently, we made many methodological adjustments during recruitment and data collection because of unforeseen challenges in the correctional context. This paper provides an illustrative example and shares insights on the challenges faced when conducting nutrition/health research in Canadian correctional facilities. Guidance on how to adapt research methods to make them more conducive to this unique environment is provided. This paper also highlights the importance of conducting nutrition/health research in this setting, especially given the lack of this type of research and the need for more evidence-based data to guide health promotion and nutritional interventions in Canadian correctional facilities.

Background: Recently, the non-toxic properties of natural plant products have gained more focus as anticancer agents. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the apoptosis effects of the ethanolic extract of Oxalis corniculata on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, aerial parts of O. corniculata were collected in Lahijan city (Iran), and after confirmation, they were dried and extracted with ethanol for 24 h. Then, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extract were measured. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay was used to measure the antioxidant properties of the extract. Selected cell lines (MCF-7 and human dermal fibroblast) were cultured in 6-wells dishes (1Ã—106 cells/well). After 72 h of treating the extract, cytotoxicity was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The expression of apoptotic genes (such as p53, bcl-2, bax, and CD95) was studied by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: The extract's total phenolic content was 31.30Â±02 Âµg of gallic acid equivalents/mg of dry extract, and the total flavonoid content was 49.61Â±04 Âµg of quercetin as equivalents/mg of extract. The antioxidant activity of O. corniculata was measured at the dose of 619.2 Âµg/Âµl, indicating that it decreases cancer cell viability and enhances apoptosis. Within the half maximal inhibitory concentrations, real-time PCR revealed substantial increases in p53 (P<0.001), CD95 (P<0.05), and bcl-2 expression (P<0.05) in MCF-7 cells treated with O. corniculata. Conclusion: This study suggests that O. corniculata may cause apoptosis by oxidative stress in cancer cells

Este é trabalho de Análise do Discurso que lida com a universalidade da língua, com os movimentos de seus significados e reflete a respeito da influência da linguagem sobre a ideologia e  sua manifestação na e pela língua, cujo corpus é constituído por enunciados oficiais em cadeia (Portarias, Resoluções e Nota Técnica) que, como uma corrente, materializam os discursos regulamentadores o ensino durante a pandemia COVID 19, no Instituto Federal de Goiás – Senador Canedo . Com objetivo de observar o efeito da pandemia no referido processo, realiza-se um Trajeto Temático - narração de fatos analisando as escolhas e efeitos de sentido das palavras, considerando que os discursos que circulam em lugar e momento determinados - permitindo descortinar a situação histórica dada.  Observa-se a emersão de novos termos para se atingir um efeito de sentido específico como Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE). Em função de sua assimetria com o termo EaD, eles são socialmente impedidos de serem utilizados de um em substituição ao outro. A retomada histórica permite acionar a memória discursiva pela composição do corpus, vozes oficiais tanto do governo federal quanto da instituição - IFG. A análise das vozes oficiais permite observar que outras medidas pedagógicas foram tomadas como: redução de carga horária de aulas online semanais, flexibilização dos 100 dias letivos no ano calendário 2020 e adoção de novo formato de estágio para menores. No entanto, nesta corrente de enunciados não há enunciados específicos em relação ao ensino/aprendizagem língua portuguesa, em ambiente virtual. Desta forma, aponta-se a possibilidade de que outra pesquisa especificamente direcionada à análise das alterações do ensino de Língua Portuguesa seja realizada, uma vez que as adaptações e inovações apreendidas foram referentes a todas as disciplinas, por meio de entrevistas (caráter dialogal) ou questionário aplicados aos docentes e discente da Língua Portuguesa.

Published: November 2022

Este artigo aborda o papel da literatura na formação do leitor crítico, tendo por objetivo compreender a leitura/literatura como formadora de leitores com capacidade de interpretação e posicionamento crítico diante do que lê. Partindo da proposta de percepção do texto pelos níveis de compreensão, da obra O que é leitura, de Maria Helena Martins (2006), a pesquisa envolveu um trabalho de leitura e análise literária com alunos de 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública de Goiás. A abordagem metodológica de pesquisa foi feita por amostragem. Foram analisadas três obras literárias: Minhas férias, pula uma linha, parágrafo, de Christiane Gabriel; Extraordinário, de R. J Palácio – no formato livro e filme, e Dicionário de Sonhos e outras histórias de cordel, de José Francisco Borges, utilizando como recursos de abordagem os três níveis de leitura propostos pela autora. No contato dos alunos com as obras, o intuito foi verificar se conseguem analisar as obras numa perspectiva crítica. As análises foram realizadas por meio de rodas de conversa, desenhos, produção de texto e discussões sobre as temáticas presentes em cada obra. Foi possível evidenciar que a literatura pode influenciar em diversos aspectos da formação do indivíduo – não só no campo da linguagem, mas também em relação aos aspectos: sociais, afetivos, culturais, entre outros. A pesquisa mostrou também o quanto a leitura é permeada de subjetividade. Ao refletir sobre o texto lido numa perspectiva crítica, cada sujeito pode estabelecer relações com suas próprias concepções a respeito da temática abordada.

Published: November 2022

English Language Teaching (ELT) is inseparable with the teaching of the language’s culture. Indonesia has a national agenda of integrating folklore into the subject of English language in schools. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of folklore in Indonesian EFL textbooks for secondary high school. This study collected data from 10 textbooks from Grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, which are published by Erlangga, Yrama Widya, Yudhistira, PT Tiga Serangkai Pustaka Mandiri, and Kemdikbud. The data analysis method was content analysis. Results showed that Indonesian EFL textbooks for secondary high school level contains 5 genres of folklore, namely fables, fairy tales, folktales, legends and myths. This study found that the most dominant type of folklore in the textbooks are legends 12 (36,3%), followed by folktales 11 (33,3%), fairy tales 5 (15,1%), fables 3 (9,3%), and lastly myths 2 (6,0%). All genres covered the cultural heritage of nearly every island and major city in Indonesia, including other countries such as Vietnam, Serbia, German and Japan. This means that Indonesia is succeeding in carrying out the national agenda of preserving students' cultural awareness and local wisdom through the teaching of folktales in ELT. The findings of this study are useful to support and enrich cultural elements integrated in English textbooks particularly the for the teaching of folklore in Indonesian EFL classrooms.

تأثیرپذیری قاصد از حافظ
Authors: Shukri Rashid  Jihad
Published: November 2022

قاصد از جمله شاعرانی است که مجذوب سحر کلام حافظ شده و با تأثیرپذیری از اشعار او غزلیانی به یاد ماندنی آفریده است. توجه قاصد به حافظ در دلپذیر شدن سخنش مؤثر افتاده است که این تأثیر در مضمون و الفاظ وترکیباتی که از آن سود برگرفته به خوبی مشهود است. حافظ با آنکه شعرش ساده و روان است و از آرایه های ادبی و صورخیال بهره گرفته است ولی تأثر غزل قاصد از غزل حافظ در عناصر گوناگون سازندة شعر فراتر از آن است که تنها یک مقاله، توان بازتاب همانندیهای سخن حافظ و قاصد را داشته باشد. در این پژوهش، دربارة تأثیر مضامین شعر حافظ بر مضامین شعر قاصد بحث به میان می آید. در این مقاله به شیوة تحلیلی-توصیفی به بیان نحوة تأثیر پذیری مضامین شعر قاصد از شعر حافظ پرداخته شده است. نتایج این پژوهش نشان می دهد که قاصد با احاطه­ای که بر زبان پارسی داشته، توانسته با تأثیرپذیری از آثار و افکار حافظ شيرازي، نکات لطیف و مضامین متنوعی را در کسوتی زیبا و آراسته بیان دارد. از اینرو، شاید بتوان در ادبیات کردی، قاصد را سرآمد مقلد شیوة غزلسرایی حافظ در دورة خویش نامید.

Authors: Jha Chandan Kumar , Verma Harshit , Sinha Upasna , Singh Prashant Kumar
Published: November 2022

Increased utilization of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients has led to improved survival outcomes but it has also resulted in rising incidence of adverse effects. Occurrence of new/unreported side effect poses challenge in front of clinicians. We report the case of a 53-year lady with locally advanced, hormone receptor-positive, and human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER-2) negative right breast carcinoma. She was started on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide), to facilitate breast-conserving surgery. She developed an inflammatory reaction involving the affected breast after each of three cycles of NACT (2 cycles of doxorubicin & cyclophosphamide, and 1 cycle of docetaxel). Infectious causes and disease progression were ruled out. She was then prescribed hormone therapy but the disease progressed after three months of therapy and the patient had to be subjected to modified radical mastectomy (MRM). She then received adjuvant radiotherapy and is currently doing well on second-line hormone therapy.
A method of computer library information data management based on network analysis
Authors: Ye Xianghu
Published: November 2022

In order to improve the classification accuracy in the process of digital management of Library and information data, a method of information data management based on network analysis is proposed. First, based on the relevant theories of Library and information management, the target data set is obtained from the data source through data collection and extraction. Then the target data is preprocessed by cleaning, integration and transformation, so as to obtain the data set required for model construction. Finally, the network analysis method is used to establish the data evaluation model and management model, and to evaluate the availability of data. Simulation experiments show that the internal consistency of the data processed by the proposed model is maintained at more than 75%, the accuracy of data classification is high, and the fit between the evaluation index and the evaluation model is maintained at more than 0.83, which can meet the requirements of practical application.

Published: November 2022

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) can be used to detect irregularities in network traffic to improve network security and protect data and systems. From 2.4 times in 2018 to three times in 2023, the number of devices linked to IP networks is predicted to outnumber the total population of the world. In 2020, approximately 1.5 billion cyber-attacks on Internet of Things (IoT) devices have been reported. Classification of these attacks in the IoT network is the major objective of this research. This research proposes a hybrid machine learning model using Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) classifier to classify and detect attacks in IoT networks. The CIC-IDS-2018 dataset is used in this work to evaluate the proposed model. The SOA is implemented for feature selection from the dataset, and the ELM is used to classify attacks from the selected features. The dataset has 80 features, in the proposed model used only 22 features with higher scores than the original dataset. The dataset is divided into 80% for training and 20% for testing. The proposed SOA-ELM model obtained 94.22% accuracy, 92.95% precision, 93.45% detection rate, and 91.26% f1-score.
Customer-oriented multi-objective optimization on a novel collaborative multi-heterogeneous-depot electric vehicle routing problem with mixed time windows
Authors: Zhou Tong , Zhang Shuai , Zhang Dongping , Chan Verner , Yang Sihan , Chen Mengjiao
Published: November 2022

With the increasing demand for express delivery and enhancement of sustainable logistics, the collaborative multi-depot delivery based on electric vehicles has gradually attracted the attention of logistics industry. However, most of the existing studies assumed that the products required by different customers could be delivered from any homogeneous depot, ignoring the limitations in facilities and environment of depots in reality. Thus, this study proposed a novel collaborative multi-heterogeneous-depot electric vehicle routing problem with mixed time windows and battery swapping, which not only involves the multi-heterogeneous-depot to meet different customer demands, but also considers the constraints of mixed time windows to ensure timely delivery. Furthermore, a customer-oriented multi-objective optimization model minimizing both travel costs and time window penalty costs is proposed to effectively improve both delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction. To solve this model, an extended non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II is proposed. This combines a new coding scheme, a new initial population generation method, three crossover operators, three mutation operators, and a particular local search strategy to improve the performance of the algorithm. Experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in solving the proposed model.
Co-expression of soluble guanylyl cyclase subunits and PDE5A shRNA to elevate cellular cGMP level: A potential gene therapy for myocardial cell death
Authors: Jing Gao , Xia Zhang , Lei Quan
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: Genetic manipulation on the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway has been rarely achieved, partially due to complexity of the soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) enzyme. OBJECTIVE: We aim to develop gene therapy directly targeting the pathway to circumvent cytotoxicity and tolerance after prolonged use of NO-donors and the insufficiency of PDE inhibitors. METHODS: In this study, we constructed lentivirus vectors expressing GUCY1A3 and GUCY1B3 genes, which encoded the α1 and β1 subunits of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), respectively, to enhance cGMP synthesis. We also constructed lentiviral vector harboring PDE5A shRNA to alleviate phosphodiesterase activity and cGMP degradation. RESULTS: Transductions of human HEK293 cells with the constructs were successful, as indicated by the fluorescent signal and altered gene expression produced by each vector. Overexpression of GUCY1A3 and GUCY1B3 resulted in increased sGC enzyme activity and elevated cGMP level in the cells. Expression of PDE5A shRNA resulted in decreased PDE5A expression and elevated cGMP level. Co-transduction of the three lentiviral vectors resulted in a more significant elevation of cGMP in HEK293 cells without obvious cytotoxicity. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show that co-expression of exogenous subunits of the soluble guanylyl cyclase could form functional enzyme and increase cellular cGMP level in mammalian cells. Simultaneous expression of PDE5A shRNA could alleviate feedback up-regulation on PDE5A caused by cGMP elevation. Further studies are required to evaluate the effects of these constructs in vivo.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: The continuous decrease of healthcare resources requires hospitals to improve efficiency while striving to improve quality standards that deliver better patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze whether the implementation of digital support systems during orthopedic surgery positively affected clinical processes and quality ratios. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study of 297 knee joint replacement procedures was conducted between 2015 and 2020. Thirty-five patients were allocated to the treatment and control groups after they were identified with exact matching and estimation of the propensity score. Both groups were balanced regarding the selected covariates. The effect of the surgical procedure manager (SPM) on the incidence of acute haemorrhagic anaemia between the two groups was evaluated with a t-test, and the odds ratio was calculated. RESULTS: SPM-supported surgery has no significant influence on the incidence of acute haemorrhagic anaemia but leads to significantly shorter hospital stay (1.93 days), changeover (4.14 minutes) and recovery room time (20.20 minutes). In addition, it reduces the standard deviation of operation room times. CONCLUSIONS: The study concludes that SPM enhances surgical efficiency and maintains quality outcomes. To overcome their increasing financial pressure hospital management should commercially evaluate the implementation of digital support systems.

BACKGROUND: Prefabricated metal crowns (PMCs) have been widely used in pediatric dentistry due to their great success in various clinical situations. However, it is important to know the local effects, such as changes in pH in the oral environment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pH variations before and after placement of PMCs. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study (before and after) was performed with 32 pediatric patients who needed rehabilitation with PMCs at a pediatric dentistry clinic in a public university. Measurements were made using a pH potentiometer before PMC placement, one week after, and one month after placement. ANOVA and Pearson correlation were performed in SPSS. RESULTS: The average age of the participants was 5.9 ± 1.6 years, and 53.1% were female. The average pH before, one week after, and one month after crown placement was 7.46 ± 0.37, 7.00 ± 0.32, and 7.1 ± 0.19, respectively. Significant differences (p< 0.05) were observed between the three pH measurements. We found differences when comparing the basal pH values to those at one week (p= 0.001) and one month (p= 0.002). CONCLUSION: Although there were statistically significant differences in the pH change values before and after the placement of crowns, these differences may not have a clinical impact.
Numerical vs analytical comparison with experimental fractional flow reserve values of right coronary artery stenosis
Authors: Milovanovic Aleksandar , Saveljic Igor , Filipovic Nenad
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: The fractional flow reserve (FFR) index has been widely accepted as a standard diagnostic method for identifying functional relevance of coronary stenosis. Since the invasive techniques used for its determination are associated with a certain risk of vascular injury, as well as with an increased cost, several non-invasive procedures have been developed. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare FFR values for the coronary artery obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). METHODS: Computation of FFR has been performed using both numerical and the analytical method. The numerical method employs CFD to solve the governing equations which relate to mass and momentum conservation (the continuity equation and the Navier-Stokes equations) as well as CCTA to generate the three-dimensional computational domain. After imposing the appropriate boundary conditions, the values of the pressure change are calculated and the FFR index is determined. Based on Bernoulli’s law, the analytical method calculates the overall pressure drop across the stenosis in the coronary artery, enabling FFR determination. RESULTS: The clinical data for twenty patients who underwent invasive coronary angiography are used to validate the results obtained by using CFD (together with CCTA) simulation and analytical solution. The medically measured FFR compared to the analytical one differs by about 4%, while, the difference is about 2.6% when compared to the numerical FFR. For FFR values below 0.8 (which are considered to be associated with myocardial ischemia) the standard error has a value of 0.01201, while the standard deviation is 0.02081. For FFR values above 0.80, these values are slightly higher. Bland-Altman analysis showed that medical measurement and numerical FFR were in good agreement (SD = 0.0292, p< 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The analytically calculated FFR has a slightly lower coefficient of determination than the numerically computed FFR when compared with experimental one. However, it can still give a reliable answer to the question of whether patients need a stent, bypass surgery or only drug treatment and it requires a significantly lower computation time.
Throwback to pre-pandemic days: A photo-elicitation study on organizational nostalgia
Authors: Tatar Berivan , Müceldili Büşra , Erdil Oya
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: As an unprecedented outbreak, the COVID-19 pandemic has restricted and dramatically changed several respects of life. In terms of working life, the transition to a remote working system has brought several changes and interrupted the continuity between past and present working life. In this case, this adversity has led people to past experiences and memories, and many people have used nostalgia as a crucial resource for alleviating the negative impact of the outbreak. OBJECTIVE: In this context, as a form of nostalgia, the current study particularly investigated memories eliciting organizational nostalgia and antecedents and consequences of organizational nostalgia in the pandemic era. METHODS: Photo-elicitation interview in general, and participant-driven photo-elicitation in particular, was used as a data collection method. A cross-sectional design was employed for this study. In total, 10 photo-elicitation interviews through 62 photos were carried out with participants in Turkey. The thematic analysis was used for coding and analyzing the interviews. RESULTS: The current study demonstrated that (1) participants feel nostalgic for managers, colleagues, events, job, and working environment-related memories; (2) lack of social connectedness, loneliness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty triggers pandemic-induced nostalgia; and (3) pandemic-induced organizational nostalgia has an impact on the variety of emotions (regret, hope, pride, freedom, joy, peace, excitement, yearning, gratitude, sadness, and happiness) of employees in the pandemic era. CONCLUSIONS: This study contributes to overcoming the lack of studies investigating the nostalgic emotion of employees in the pandemic era and how this emotion might contribute to overcoming the effects of COVID-19.
Operational Research on Transformative Education on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights During Adolescents’ Initiation Rituals, Nampula, Mozambique, 2022
Authors: Pires Paulo
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION: teachings during adolescent initiation rituals have been identified in Mozambique as one of the causes of adolescent pregnancy, a determinant of the high maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the country. Those pregnancies cause school dropout and premature marriage. Research developed in Nampula, “Alert Community for a Prepared Hospital”, identified the rite leaders and counsellors as relevant agents to achieve the goals of sexual and reproductive health education for adolescents. Lúrio University's partnership with the University of Saskatchewan in Canada obtained funding for this research. Meetings were held with local partners and with the actors involved in the rites. The organisers of the ceremonies are the resource persons for a transformative education intervention on adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights.

OBJECTIVE: to assess the education provided in the initiation rites of adolescents about sexual and reproductive health and rights.

METHODS: exploratory descriptive qualitative study, using the interview, carried out in the premises of the Lúrio University Campus in October 2022. The recommendations of the Declaration of Helsinki were respected, and the study had the approval of the Bioethics Committees for Health at Lúrio University and the University of Saskatchewan.

RESULTS: 17 organisers were interviewed, 15 men and 2 women, with an average age of 54 years, mostly with primary schooling and peasants, living in various neighbourhoods of Nampula. The interviewees show significant differences, but also some homogeneity in the teaching given, although limitations are found on sexual and reproductive health, with the subject of contraceptives being scarcely broached. The teaching on interpersonal respect is mentioned; however, this orientation shows gender inequity.

CONCLUSION: this group of rite organisers is a traditional class of broad social impact but reveals little knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and rights. Informing this group and educating the rituals counsellors will be necessary to achieve adolescents’ behaviour changes.

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or autism is a disorder that occurs during brain development characterized by deficiencies in social behavior and nonverbal interactions such as lack of eye contact, facial expressions, and body movements before a child is three years old. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not a single disorder and is generally considered a multi-factorial disorder caused by the interaction of genetic and non-genetic factors. Lack of social behavior includes avoiding eye contact, difficulty controlling emotions or understanding the emotions of others, and limiting the range of activities and interests. Case report: A patient, female, 7 years and 4 months complained that the maxillary front teeth shake and want to be removed. Patients are suspected of having symptoms of autism since the age of 2 years and have started screening at that age until finally diagnosed with autism. Autism in patients, in this case, is suspected of autism from genetic factors. Conclusion: People with autism require special examination and treatment regarding the health of their teeth and mouth. These actions require cooperation between dentists and pediatricians or psychologists or other related disciplines so that the desired end results can be achieved as well as possible.

Детально розглянуто різноманітні методи виявлення шкідливих програм в контексті вимог комп’ютерної безпеки. Визначено механізм дії файлового і бутового вірусу. Наведена класифікація шкідливого програмного забезпечення, що передбачає поділ вірусів на класи. Особливу увагу в статті приділено механізму зараження окремих комп’ютерів, а також комп’ютерних мереж бутовими і файловими вірусами. В результаті виконання дослідження систематизовані способи виявлення вірусів при роботі пристроїв як без антивірусних програм, так із ними. Названі найбільш популярні та ефективні антивірусні програми, що рекомендовані фахівцями до використання в Україні. Відзначено, що основною невирішеною проблемою, яка потребує подальших розвідок, залишається розробка нових підходів до створення сучасного механізму захисту комп’ютерної техніки і інформаційного середовища від шкідливих програм і кібератак.

Актуальність проведеного дослідження обумовлюється тим, що ініціативи корпоративної соціальної відповідальності для компаній, які працюють у галузі водного транспорту можуть бути потужним маркетинговим інструментом, який допомагає такій компанії більш вигідно позиціонувати себе на ринку транспортних послуг в очах клієнтів, інвесторів і регуляторів та одночасно збільшувати свої прибутки. Мета роботи полягає в удосконаленні методичного підходу, до коригування обсягів перевезення вантажів морським та річковим транспортом України з урахуванням вимог екологізації соціально-відповідального бізнесу на основі комплексного використання математичних моделей у контексті Цілей стійкого розвитку. Для вирішення поставлених завдань при проведенні дослідження нами використовувалися такі методи: кореляційно-регресійний аналіз – при дослідженні залежності рентабельності діяльності підприємств водного транспорту від обсягів перевезення вантажів морським та річковим транспортом; метод штучного базису – при визначенні оптимальних, з точки зору екологізації соціально відповідального бізнесу обсягів перевезення вантажів морським та річковим транспортом в Україні. Для екологізації соціально відповідального бізнесу у контексті подолання наслідків військової агресії на прикладі галузі водного транспорту України нами пропонується економіко-математична модель максимізації використання конкурентного потенціалу водного транспорту з урахуванням вимог щодо виконання завдань по досягненню цілей сталого розвитку України. Використовуючи запропоновану економіко-математичну модель нами було скориговано загальну структуру обсягів перевезення вантажів морським та річковим транспортом України з урахуванням вимог екологізації соціально-відповідального бізнесу. Максимізація використання конкурентного потенціалу водного транспорту з урахуванням вимог щодо виконання завдань по досягненню цілей сталого розвитку України може бути корисною у період післявоєнного відновлення.

Стаття присвячена аналізу міста Королевства Іспанії на туристичному ринку України. Аналіз побудовано на аналізі статистичних даних. На основі даних побудовані висновки, щодо використання досвіду Іспанії вже самою Україною. Велика кількість туроператорів реалізують тури до Іспанії. В основному це культурно-пізнавальні тури, так як країна має достатньо вишукану старовинну архітектуру минулих століть. Туризм в Іспанії розвивається як система, яка приділяє всю увагу для ознайомлення з культурою країни, її духовними та релігійними цінностями, звичаями тощо. І має від цього великий дохід від туризму. Туристичний ресурсний потенціал – це сполучення історико-культурних та природних об’єктів, соціально-економічних та технологічних вимог для організації туристичного застосування певної території. Туристичний потенціал містить туристичні ресурси, як загальнодоступну частину туристської пропозиції. Оцінка туристичних ресурсів поділяється на види: суспільна, природна, подієва, технологічна, які мають власну побудову.

ДІДЖИТАЛІЗАЦІЯ ФІНАНСОВОГО РИНКУ УКРАЇНИ: КЛЮЧОВІ РИЗИКИ ДЛЯ ІНДИВІДУАЛЬНИХ ІНВЕСТОРІВ
Authors: Сорока Богдан
Published: November 2022

В статті розглядаються ризики, які виникають та потенційно можуть виникнути для індивідуальних інвесторів в умовах посилення процесів діджиталізації фінансового ринку. Акцентовано, що діджиталізація має як явні переваги для функціонування фінансового ринку, так і формує досить значні загрози для його учасників. Найбільш вразливою групою в Україні для цих ризиків є індивідуальні інвестори. Такі ризики обумовлені: низьким рівнем фінансової грамотності населення; недостатньою фінансовою інклюзією; недоліками чинної моделі державного регулювання фінансового ринку України. Аргументовано, що ризики діджиталізації потенційно здатні посилити існуючі дисбаланси для індивідуальних учасників вітчизняного фінансового ринку. Відповідно, держава має докорінним чином змінити регуляторні підходи та підвищити ефективність механізмів захисту прав інвесторів в Україні.
