Semantic-Based Description of Jose Garcia Villa’s Select Poetic Texts
Authors: Sapong Charito B.
Published: November 2022

This study deals with the semantic-based elements in English of the select poetic texts of Jose Garcia Villa, namely: ‘If My Sun Set in the West,’ ‘Lyric 17,’ and ‘Poem Written beneath a Blue Lampshade.’ The sentences' surface structure or syntax and deep structure or semantics are dissected by idealizing the raw data, immediate constituent analysis, and identification of functions, notions, and sentence transform, respectively. This study uses semantic-based descriptions to determine the essential variables of a scheme from a format that establishes their relation. A semantic-based description is an approach to linguistics that treats language as an interwoven structure. Every item acquires identity and validity only with the other things in the system. It is found that some linguistic categories are retrieved, like nouns and pronouns; some are omitted; archaic words are changed and relocated in the select poetic texts. Some sentences undergo restructuring, from inverted to regular utterances. The immediate constituent analysis of each idealized sentence reveals the nouns, pronouns, verbs, auxiliary verbs, linking verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunction, determiner, interjection, and particles for the infinitives. The functions revealed in the sentences include representational, regulatory, personal, directive, and interactional. The notion of the first poem is the speaker trying to stop a usual event from happening. The second poem talks about the inability to feel because of numbness in emotion. The third text is a dedication to a loved one, a poem solely written for the addressee. All sentences of the three select texts are restructured into three cases, namely: the nominative, possessive, and objective focus, respectively.

Mimetic- Archetypal Critique on Adonis Durado’s Selected Poems
Authors: Torreon Joan L. , Bolanio Imelda C.
Published: November 2022

This study provides mimetic and archetypal analysis on the selected Cebuano-Visayan poems of Adonis Durado, a multi-awarded Cebuano poet, utilizing Plato's Theory of Mimesis and Aristotle's Literary Theory and Criticism. Plato looks at how the images, symbols, and themes reveal imitations of reality, and Aristotle argues that human beings are natural imitators who are vital in making a healthy society. This study investigates the social issues and the prevalent themes extracted from the poems understudied. Furthermore, the study asserts that mimesis locates the meaning of literature in the nature that it copies, insisting that the universal essence of mimesis is a mere reflection of the poet's inner necessity, inner determinacy, and not a separate world of ideas. It is revealed that the selected poems of Adonis Durado mimetically mirror the people's economic struggles, which significantly affects the harmony within the familial and societal sphere. The symbols used in the poems describe the Philippine society's local color, often associated with poverty, violence, and the Filipinos' survival mechanism. The poverty that the oppressed often suffered develops the people's resiliency shown in the images of how people continue to live despite economic disadvantages, abuses, and violence. Poverty has two faces; it is either the cause or effect of people's circumstances, and these dominant social issues feature in the poems surrounding poverty and violence.
PERSPECTIVA DAS COORDENADORAS PEDAGÓGICAS SOBRE A FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DOCENTE QUANTO À BNCC

Published: November 2022

Este artigo objetiva discutir as ações de formação continuada dos professores dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental das escolas estaduais no município de Viçosa/MG, a partir do o olhar das coordenadoras pedagógicas. A proposta metodológica é de cunho qualitativo e os dados foram produzidos a partir de questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Após essa etapa, foram categorizados, a partir da descrição das percepções e transcrição dos diálogos, e analisados por meio da triangulação com o referencial teórico e com a abordagem do Ciclo de Políticas, metodologia de análise escolhida. Nossa análise sobre os dados produzidos aponta que a formação continuada ocorrida até então teve caráter técnico e descritivo quanto à BNCC, sem abertura para debates críticos, situação agravada pela precarização do trabalho docente devido à pandemia de COVID-19. As resoluções que tratam das formações continuadas docentes para os próximos anos são marcadas por habilidades e competências que os professores devem ter para ensinar de acordo com a Base. Os dados apontam ainda que, apesar das adversidades, as coordenadoras pedagógicas possuem papel fundamental na formação dos docentes em serviço e permanecem almejando a melhoria da qualidade da educação.
The Master Plan for Urban Transport and Mobility of Sorocaba - SP: challenges for the implementation of guidelines aimed at sustainable transport modes
Authors: Affonso Stella Bruna Ananias , Magagnin Renata Cardoso
Published: November 2022

The last decades have been marked by profound economic and social changes, which have significantly altered the population's way of life. Among the main effects of urban agglomerations are changes in the transportation and mobility system that still represent a challenge for municipal management, especially in medium and large cities. As of Federal Law No. 12,587, dated January 3, 2012, all Brazilian municipalities with a population of over 20,000 inhabitants were required to prepare an urban mobility plan. In Sorocaba, the proposals directed to the requirements of this legislation are in the Urban Transportation and Mobility Master Plan (acronym in Portuguese, PDTUM), prepared between 2012 and 2013 and implemented in 2016. Aiming to analyze urban mobility in Sorocaba, this article brings a descriptive and partial evaluation of the guidelines contained in the PDTUM document related to non-motorized transport and public transport and its implementation in the municipality. For this analysis, some indicators of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index (IMUS), developed by Costa (2008) are used, consisting of an important tool for mobility management and public policy formulation from the perspective of sustainability. Regarding the actions planned and already adopted in the municipality, some show efficiency and a need for expansion so that the improvements can be increasingly comprehensive. The results contribute to tracing a more precise scenario for mobility in Sorocaba and can be useful for other cities whose plans are under development or revision.
El mobiliario urbano como elemento de transformación del paisaje urbano
Authors: Oliveira Bruna Cabral Gonçalves de , Araujo Eloisa Carvalho de
Published: November 2022

Este artículo pretende contribuir al debate sobre la relevancia del mobiliario urbano en el contexto del paisaje urbano, considerando la inserción de elementos de pequeña escala en la transformación de las relaciones cotidianas en el espacio público como un potencial para conciliar y equilibrar el paisaje con la ocupación humana. Para ello, parte del entendimiento de que el mobiliario urbano puede considerarse como un elemento de transformación del paisaje urbano, y no solo como un apéndice de los lugares públicos, lo que puede ser un referente al representar diferentes momentos de una ciudad. De naturaleza exploratoria, la investigación enfatiza las cuestiones teórico-conceptuales asociadas al mobiliario urbano y sus efectos en el paisaje urbano de las ciudades, buscando identificar en las experiencias y vivencias con estos elementos en proyectos de renovación urbana las transformaciones exitosas y su potencial de influenciar estrategias de proyectos que serán aplicados por los municipios.
Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation for children with bronchiolitis on non-Invasive Ventilation support
Authors: Yuval Cavari , Tal Levy Shlomo , Eitan Neeman , Ben Taragin , Michal Leder , Shaked Yarza , Isaac Lazar
Published: November 2022

Objective: Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU) admission of children with bronchiolitis as well as the use of Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) are increasing. The current treatment for bronchiolitis is supportive, and there are no specific studies addressing this group of severe bronchiolitis patients supported with NIV. Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation (IPV) is a lung recruitment physical therapy technique used in our PICU to augment lung aeration and improve gas exchange. We hypothesized that IPV treatment can be used to improve the clinical course of infants on NIV support suffering from bronchiolitis. Design: A prospective, open, randomized study. Setting: Single-center Pediatric ICU Patients: Children less than 2 years old admitted to our PICU between November 2016 and April 2018 with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis who were prescribed noninvasive positive pressure ventilation as their sole respiratory treatment modality Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to two intervention groups: IPV vs. control (standard treatment). Measurements and main results: Thirty-eight infants with bronchiolitis treated with NIV support were randomized into two groups. The probability of a superior outcome (less chance of invasive mechanical ventilation and fewer PICU days) was 62.7% (95% CI, 45%-77%, p = 0.18) in the IPV group compared to the control group. Among the IPV group, there were no failures that required intubation in comparison to three intubations (13.6%) among the control group (p = 0.24). For the IPV group, the PICU length of stay (LOS) was 4.13 ± 2.45 days, compared to 6.18 ± 4.72 for the inhalation group. This difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: In this single-center study, the use of IPV had no adverse reactions. The study failed to show a statistically significant effect of IPV treatment on the course of hospitalization of patients with bronchiolitis on NIV support in the PICU. Trial registration: Clinical Trials.gov NCT03037801.
Contra la naturalidad del escepticismo acerca del mundo externo: Wittgenstein y el realismo epistémico
Authors: Rodríguez Téllez Diego , Zuluaga Cardona Mauricio
Published: November 2022

Este trabajo cuestiona el supuesto carácter intuitivo o natural del escepticismo acerca del mundo externo. En §1 examinamos una versión del argumento escéptico que se sostiene a partir de dos principios: clausura del conocimiento e indiferencia. Para profundizar la postura que ha defendido Michael Williams, en §2 ofrecemos un examen novedoso de la argumentación escéptica cartesiana que nos permite establecer que en dos argumentos de esta estrategia argumentativa resulta claro que la presunta naturalidad que el escéptico reclama es falsa y que, antes bien, para lograr su conclusión, necesita asumir compromisos con el realismo epistémico, es decir, con la tesis de que nuestras creencias se ubican al interior de una jerarquía epistemológica de acuerdo únicamente con su contenido y en abstracto. Finalmente, basados en argumentos de inspiración wittgensteiniana, en §3 mostramos cómo es que, en contra del realismo epistémico, cada creencia desempeña un papel justificativo según el contexto pertinente.
Análisis del uso del arte contemporáneo en la metodología de una profesora de educación física.
Authors: López Secanell Irene
Published: November 2022

El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la metodología docente basada en el uso del arte contemporáneo de una profesora de educación física. Se ha utilizado la metodología cualitativa mediante una investigación-acción con 10 relatos autobiográficos realizados desde el año 2009 hasta el 2019, 53 relatos autobiográficos de estudiantes y el análisis de 20 grupos de discusión con alumnos de secundaria. El análisis evidencia las relaciones que se han establecido con el arte a lo largo de la docencia, lo cual se especifica en cuatro categorías que evidencian las distintas formas de aplicación del arte en la educación física: el arte como reproducción, el arte como provocación, el arte como metáfora y el arte como atmósfera. Además, se concluye la importancia de resignificar el uso del arte en nuestras aulas e incorporar el análisis de las voces de los alumnos en los procesos de investigación-acción para mejorar nuestras prácticas profesionales.

Negotiating Survival: Central American Refugee Women in Mexico and the Politics of Deservingness
Authors: Willers Susanne
Published: November 2022

This article aims to analyse the difficulties Central American refugee women face when applying for refugee protection in Mexico and how they negotiate survival during this process. Claiming refugee protection is an important legal mechanism to ensure survival, but managing this process successfully is difficult, not only because of the bureaucratic complexities but also because of structural and political constraints. Research has addressed the difficulties migrant women face while in transit and in the United States, but there is less analysis on the limitations in accessing refugee protection in transit countries such as Mexico. Therefore, this article examines the main barriers women face by considering the social and spatial specifics of two different reception sites, the southern Mexican city of Tapachula and Mexico City, in the centre of the country. Drawing on ethnographic field research and interviews with refugees and practitioners, this research seeks to understand women’s agency in dealing with adversity in reception contexts. Analysis showed that women need to engage in micro‐level negotiations with gatekeepers in host communities to gain access to humanitarian assistance and social rights. In addition, it has showed that access to scarce resources depends on personal performance in terms of vulnerability and “deservingness.” This demonstrates the complexities refugee women encounter in the local context, but also the role of institutional constraints to humanitarian attention in contrast to an integral understanding of rights. Furthermore, the obstacles faced by refugees and the generation of uncertainty and waiting must be analysed as a political strategy to prevent effective access to asylum in Mexico.
TRANSFORMATION OF UKRAINIAN CONSUMER BASKET IN CONDITIONS OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Shume A.
Published: November 2022

Consumer behavior and the basket of Ukrainians have undergone certain transformations due to the spread of COVID-19 and the introduction of quarantine measures. Fear, panic, uncertainty about the future, reduced income and temporary job losses were the main factors that affected consumers. First of all, this was reflected in the dynamics of changes in the structure of economic expenditures in the first half of 2020 compared to 2019. The introduction of quarantine had the features of increasing online orders, non-cash payments, purchase of long-term storage goods, medicines, and goods for the organization of work in a remote format. The increase in spending on these items has created delayed demand from consumers. The purchase of clothes, shoes and travel arrangements have been put on hold. It should be noted that such transformations were temporary. After the restrictions were lifted, people returned to their old eating habits. Research has shown that people are sensitive to information. This was reflected in the increase in the share of non-cash payments, because the mass media recommended avoiding cash payments. This experience has shown us the reasons why sellers and manufacturers must constantly monitor information and news and be able to predict further developments. Consumers must be open to working with sellers and producers so that sellers and producers can understand the consumers’ interests and meet their demands. Recommendations were developed for public authorities to improve the adaptation of public policy to changes in consumer behavior in the context of the introduction of restrictive measures for buyers in the form of quarantine; for enterprises to increase the effectiveness of enterprise policy in a pandemic; for consumers to build relationships with sellers and manufacturers on an ongoing basis.
KHILCHEVSKYI V.K., GREBIN V.V. SOME ASPECTS REGARDING THE STATE OF THE TERRITORY OF THE RIVER BASINS DISTRICTS AND WATER MONITORING DURING RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE (2022)

Published: November 2022

Characterizing the military aggression launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi noted on June 2, 2022 that as of today, Russian troops control about 20% of the territory of Ukraine, that is 125 thousand km2. The purpose of this article is to assess the state of the territories of some of the river basins districts of Ukraine in relation to their coming under the control of Russian troops in the summer of 2022, as well as the possibility of conducting monitoring in accordance with the state water monitoring program approved by the order of the Ministry of Environment of Ukraine for 2022. As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as of August 1, 2022, in the territory controlled by Russian troops: a) 2 of the river basins districts – Crimea (since 2014) and Azov coast – were completely located; b) 4 areas of river basins districts were partially occupied: approx. 69% of the territory of the Don rrver basin district, 22% – of the Black Sea river basin district, 6% – of the Dnipro river basin district. Of the large water bodies in the territory captured by the Russian troops in the summer of 2022: a) 2 large canals were completely located: the North Crimean and Kakhovsky main canals; b) 1 canal was partially occupied – 40% of the length of the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal; c) a large part of the Siverskyi Donets River (Donbas region); d) the lower part of the Kakhovka reservoir (together with the Kakhovka HPP). Since the beginning of Russia’s military aggression in the State Water Agency of Ukraine, 1 of the 4 basic regional water monitoring laboratories (of the Eastern region) have stopped working. Water samples from these region were forwarded to the water monitoring laboratory of the Western region. Taking into account the operational military situation, in July 2022, units of the State Water Agency took water samples at 398 monitoring points, which was 68% of the number of points provided for by the state water monitoring program. In August 2022, the State Water Agency of Ukraine started preparing proposals for the surface water monitoring program for 2023, in particular: about the possibility of including additional indicators of pollutants – petroleum products, chemicals contained in ammunition, missiles; on updating the list of monitoring points based on the results of the assessment of the chemical state of surface water bodies; on the inclusion of additional water monitoring points in the de-occupied territories to detect the impact of military operations on water quality.
MIGRATION OF BIOGENIC ELEMENTS FROM BOTTOM SEDIMENTS AS AN ADDITIONAL INTERNAL LOAD OF NUTRIENTS ON THE WATER BODIES OF THE URBAN AREA

There were investigated the seasonal and spatial dynamics of the content of nutrients in the lakes of the Opechen’ system. It has been established that the content of nutrients in reservoirs of the urbanized territory, in addition to the external load, depends significantly on their migration from the bottom sediments under oxygen deficiency and reduction conditions. The concentration of dissolved oxygen and the value of the redox potential were within 0–16.2 mg/dm3 and -129÷295 mV. Dissolved oxygen deficiency (0–5.4 mg/dm3 and 0–44% saturation) and transitional redox or reduction conditions (-129÷69 mV) in the water of the bottom horizon were observed throughout the year. The increase in the concentration of dissolved oxygen (12.1–16.2 mg/dm3 and 107–175% saturation) occurred only in the surface water horizon during the spring-autumn period. The concentration of ammonium nitrogen, nitrite and nitrate ions varied within 0–13.17, 0.006–0.186 and 0.016–0.142 mg N/dm3. The content of inorganic phosphorus and dissolved silicon reached 0.010–3.121 mg P/dm3 and 0.03–6.4 mg/dm3. The concentration of ammonium nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus and dissolved silicon near the bottom was always higher than in the water of the surface horizon. This is due to the formation of oxygen deficiency, transitional redox or reduction conditions, which increase the migration of nutrients from bottom sediments. The N:P ratio decreased from winter to autumn on average in the range of 7,2–2,6, which indicates an increase in the concentration of phosphorus in the water relative to nitrogen and the formation of favorable conditions for the development of blue-green algae. Favorable conditions for the supply of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus from the bottom sediments are formed when the concentration of dissolved oxygen is ≤4 mg/dm3 and the value of the redox potential is ≤100 mV. It was established that the concentration of oxygen and the value of the redox potential affect the content of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus, but the relationship between the studied indicators is nonlinear. The oxygen regime and the value of the redox potential don’t affect the content of dissolved silicon, and its concentration depends on the seasonal features of the development of diatoms.
Bio substrate microelement concentrations in young men — residents of the Far North — under increased physical exercises
Authors: Stepanova Evgenia M. , Lugovaya Elena A.
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: High-level athletic competitions necessitate more strenuous physical activity and this upsets the bodys chemistry balance. Numerous mechanisms are in place during sports to adapt to regular physical activity, but as a result, the body is progressively stressed out as it experiences a high loss in the bio-elements associated with intense exercise.
AIM: to thoroughly analyze the chemical profiles of athletes residing in the city of Magadan, who have achieved great sporting success, and to identify the unique features of microelement concentrations in subjective samples (hair, whole blood).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted to analyze elemental pictures of high-level athletes in the city of Magadan who were between the ages of 19 and 25 (n=29). Age-matched men who showed usual levels of physical activity comprise the control group (n=22). Different biological substrates (hair and whole blood, among others) were examined to determine the most informative substrate for the identification of the most common types of chronic elemental imbalance. This was considered particularly important for further prevention of typical region-related disorders in the body chemistry by increasing functional reserves. Eighteen macro- and microelements were examined via atomic emission and mass spectrometric methods with inductively coupled argon plasma.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The athletes examined in the present study exhibited higher levels of Ca, Co, Fe, Se, and Zn in their hair samples and showed higher median concentrations of blood Na and P, and an excess levels of blood Mn, when compared with the subjects who had moderate levels of physical activity and whose blood examination showed higher values of K, Mg, Co, Fe, Se, the deficiency of Co, Cu, Zn, and Fe, and excess of Mg and Se.
CONCLUSION: However, data obtained in the present study did not enable us to explicitly draw inferences regarding sports-induced changes in the body microelement profile. In some cases, the elemental profile of athletes is similar to that of residents of Magadan and they show a typical northern type of deficiency in essential elements expressed in the hair. Notably, the frequency of hair deficits is frequently higher in young men who experience no increased exercise levels. Excessive toxic elements or heavy metals were not identified biological substrates examined in the present study. It was our understanding that long-term assessment of the athletes elemental imbalance which is formed under intense physical activity can be performed through spectral hair analysis. This is attributable to the fact that it is an accumulative bio substrate that shows no day-to-day fluctuations under changeable functional or psychoemotional states, as well as nutrition preferences.

AIM: Assessment of the School-Aged Childrens Physical Activity (PA) in the Russian Federation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and its compliance with the WHO recommendations.
METHODS: This was a multi-national cross-sectional study. More than 24,000 children aged 618 years from nine European countries (Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Russian Federation, Poland, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, and Denmark) participated in the online survey. In the Russian Federation, the online survey was conducted from 28th January to 10th February 2021. The questionnaire was completed by 13,392 children or their parents from 64 Russian regions. In total, 11,763 respondents were included in the study, i.e., 50.8% boys (n=5985) and 49.2% girls (n=5778), 72% urban residents, and 28% rural residents. The mean age (MSD) was 11.242.93 years.
The questionnaire contained five sections questions about the socio-demographic data; physical activity, play, or sedentary behavior in the last seven days; comparison of the child's PA at the moment with PA during the first wave of COVID-19; comparison of the child's PA at the moment with the PA before the COVID-19 pandemic; compliance with WHO global recommendations on PA and sedentary lifestyle; questions about the socio-demographic background of the parent/guardian. Survey data were obtained via online platforms. Meeting the WHO Global Guidelines was defined as 60-minute MVPA per day for a week; total screen time of fewer than 2 hours per day. Data were presented as absolute values and percentages. Chi-Square (2) test was used to compare percentages to identify significant differences. A p-value of 0.05 indicated statistical significance.
RESULTS: Outcomes of this online survey revealed that only a small percentage of children followed the PA guidelines. Therefore, the proportion of children following the WHO recommendations was only 7.5%.

Authors: Rajani Anil , Patel Lav , Sharma Shreekant
Published: November 2022

Background: Objectives of the study were to evaluate the real-world usage pattern of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for the treatment of patients with Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS), and to understand the disease characteristics and demographic patterns of these patients.

Methods: This real-world, retrospective, analysis included data of patients with GBS who received IVIg treatment at various centers across India. The study data was collected between April 2021 and March 2022.  

Results: A total of 3064 patients with GBS who received IVIg treatment were included. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 48.97 (14.97) years, and majority of the patients were men (68.8%). Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) was the most common subtype of GBS (60.5%), followed by acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN; 11.6%), and acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN; 3%). The majority (>94%) of patients received IVIg therapy as first-line treatment. A large proportion of the patients (n=2402, 78.4%) were given the standard dose of 2 g/kg bodyweight (given over 5 days) and 97.1% (n=2974) of the total study population received IVIg regimen over the standard protocol of 5 days.

Conclusions: In the clinical spectrum of GBS, AIDP was the most common subtype. IVIg was used at generally recommended dose and duration in patients with GBS.
A study of BlockBuster laryngeal mask airway versus Fastrach/Intubating laryngeal mask airway as a conduit for blind oro-tracheal intubation: A prospective randomized controlled study
Authors: Pathak Ruchi , Modi Komal , Kanchanaa S. P.
Published: November 2022

A Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has two parts, a simple breathing tube and a mask. The mask at the laryngeal end of the tube aligns against the glottis and provides better channel of ventilation than the face mask. There have been modifications in the basic design of the LMA to incorporate gastric drainage channel and some devices are also equipped with a channel for intubation to secure airway by guiding endotracheal tube (ETT) through it. In this study we evaluated the performance of two LMA devices that can aid in rescue ventilation and are also equipped with a channel for intubation namely the BlockBuster LMA(2012) and the Fastrach/ Intubating LMA(1997) for blind oro-tracheal intubation in terms of First attempt success rate and Over-all success rate of intubation.

A hundred consenting patients of age group 18-60 years and ASA status I or II, were randomly allocated into two groups Group BB (BlockBuster LMA) and Group FT (Fastrach LMA) with 50 patients each. Standard anesthesia technique was used for both groups. After insertion of airway device, cuff was inflated and ventilation was attempted (maximum 2 attempts). Once ventilation was achieved, ETT of appropriate size was inserted through LMA (maximum 2 attempts). The correct placement of ETT was confirmed by capnography. Data was collected for number of attempts of tracheal intubation, time taken for intubation and complications.

First attempt success rate of intubation was more in Blockbuster LMA than Fastrach LMA. Over-all success rate of Intubation was 100% for both devices. Time taken for intubation and incidence of post-operative sore throat was less in BlockBuster LMA than Fastrach LMA(p-value<0.05).

Blockbuster LMA is better conduit for oro-tracheal intubation than Fastrach LMA in terms of higher first attempt success rate, lesser time taken for intubation and lesser post-operative complications.
Obtaining sexual services from a minor (Article 240.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation): issues of theory and law enforcement
Authors: Aseev A. Yu. , Chekmezova E. I.
Published: November 2022

The article presents an analysis of the corpus delicti under Article 240.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the practice of applying the criminal law norm that establishes liability for obtaining sexual services from a minor. Based on the views available in the science of criminal law and law enforcement practice, the concept of the object of this kind of crime is formulated. The existence of an additional direct object is argued in theory, as well as the need to recognize a minor who provides sexual services as a victim of this crime. Special attention is paid to the problematic aspects of interpretation of certain terms (receipt, any other consideration), and to the qualification difficulties that arise in practice. Through lexico-grammatical analysis, the idea of the mixed nature of any other consideration is justified. The article reveals the features of the subjective side of the crime. A critical analysis of the ways offered by science to modernize the norm under consideration is given. The authors have made proposals to improve the legal and technical condition of Article 240.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Novelties of the federal legislation on municipal elections
Authors: Khubaeva D. F.
Published: November 2022

The article examines the novelties of the draft federal law of the Russian Federation № 40361-8 On the general principles of the organization of local self-government in a unified system of public authority. In the course of the analysis, the author notes the positive changes laid down in the draft law, for example, the refusal to form a representative body of a municipality through delegation, in favor of direct elections. It is emphasized that the local level of government is the most accessible and close to the majority of the population, and the replacement of direct elections with indirect procedures, such as delegation, when forming a representative body of local self-government, leads to the alienation of local residents from solving issues of local importance. The question is raised about the validity of the introduction of a single-level system of organization of local self-government by the draft law in the context of geographical accessibility of local self-government bodies and the possibility of the population of remote territories to participate in the formation of local self-government bodies. The author predicts that such a system is difficult to adapt to the conditions of the peculiarities of population settlement in the territory of the Russian Federation. In the authors opinion, there is a negative tendency to strengthen the state vertical of power, which contradicts the democratic foundations of the state structure of the Russian Federation, enshrined in Article 12 of the Constitution.

Authors: Adesokan Isaac Ayanniran
Published: November 2022

There are many health benefits associated with consumption of apples and fermented apple juice, such as apple cider and apple wine. As a result of several health claims associated with the consumption of apple wine, this study was conducted with a view of producing apple wine using S. cerevisiae isolated from indigenous Nigerian alcoholic beverages. The aim is to develop indigenous technology for the production of apple wine and, by extension, tropical fruit wines. During the fermentation of apple juice into wine, changes in pH, titratable acidity (TA), brix/acid ratio (B/A), ascorbic acid (AA), total soluble solids (TSS), reducing sugars (RS), total sugars (TS), alcohol content (AC) and yeast count (YC) were determined using standard methods. The apple wine produced was rated by taste panelists using a 9-point hedonic scale. The following result ranges were obtained: pH (3.49–4.02), TA (18.0–43.2mg/ml), B/A (0.221–0889), AA (4.90–74.51mg/ml), TSS (9.0–18.0 mg/g), RS (0.260–0.347 mg/ml), TS (0.023–0.07mg/ml), AC (0.0–10.2%) and YC (7.40–11.99 log10cfu/ml). The sensory evaluation scores are appearance (7.14–7.71), flavor (6.71–8.00), mouth feel (7.00–8.00), taste (7.00–8.00) and overall acceptability (7.04–7.89). The apple wine that was fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae PAW02 (sample A) received the highest scores for flavor (7.8), mouth feel (8.00), taste (8.00) and overall acceptability (7.82). This sample also had the highest alcohol content of 10.2%. Therefore, this yeast strain (S. cerevisiae PAW02) could be explored for industrial production of alcoholic beverages from apples (apple wine).
