The paper is devoted to the development of archiving in Azerbaijan in the period after the adoption in 1999 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On the National Archival Fund,” which marked the transition to a consistent renewal of the state policy of Azerbaijan in the archival sphere, and up to the present. The purpose of the article is to review the most important aspects of archival construction in modern Azerbaijan, including the modernization of the regulatory base and material and technical base for the work of archives, increasing their importance in the system of public administration and social development. The authors note that, having gone through a difficult initial stage of reforms in the 1990s, the archival system of the Republic of Azerbaijan has retained its institutional structure that had developed during the Soviet period and the basis of qualified archivists personnel. The 1999 law created a legal platform for organizing orderly acquisition, accounting, storage, and use of documents of the National Archival Fund of Azerbaijan, and also served as an incentive to update the scientific and methodological foundations of archiving. The Decree of the first President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev "On the improvement of archives in the Republic of Azerbaijan" issued in 2002 confirmed the intension of the leadership of Azerbaijan to increase the role of the archival service in the system of state institutions and public life of the country, which was reflected in a number of practical measures highlighted in the article. Among the achievements of archival construction in Azerbaijan in the 21st century are expansion and modernization of storage facilities, transition to planned acquisition, introduction of electronic forms of accounting and of scientific reference apparatus. Currently, Azerbaijan is implementing the “State Program for the Development of Archival Work in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2020-2025,” which involves further modernization of regulatory and technological foundations of archiving, including digitization of the NAF, as well increasing the archives’ role in the scientific and cultural life of the country. The data of the sources allows us to conclude that archiving in Azerbaijan in the 21st century is going through a successful stage of modernization. The archival service of Azerbaijan has the potential to effectively resolve current problems existing in the industry: need for new premises and to replenish the state archives with personnel with special archival education, etc. The paper provides information on the development of archiving and the training of archivists in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan in the 2010s.
Revisiting the Question of Content of the Concept “Records Management”
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russian Federation, Surovtseva Nataliya G.
Published: January 2023

The article discusses theoretical approaches to the concept “records management” accepted in the national document science. The concept emerged in the 1970s-80s in the works of A. N. Sokova. She drew attention to the fact that records management as a field of activity was not identical to national office work and included a greater range of issues and functions. She made attempts to use records management in the development of the Unified State System of Record Keeping, trying to integrate it into the national terminology of working with documents. At the next stage in the development of the theory and practice of working with documents, the concept “records management” received support in the scientific works of M. V. Larin. Considering records management in organizations, he came to the necessity to revise the concept of the organization's information and documentation system drawing on scientific approaches including widespread use of new information technologies. M. V. Larin was the first to define the difference between the concepts “record keeping,” “document support of management,” and “records management,” defining the latter as a certain independent management function. This concept was supported by T. A. Selezneva. Her position was determined by the fact that “records management” was a borrowed term and concept, and, therefore, reflected the Western management model and provided quality management in relation to the organization's documentation as full value management resource. In 2007, the term was formally consolidated, tested in the meaning used in the national standard 15489, and compared with other concepts in the field of working with documents (“office work” and “document support of management”), thus overcoming the use of the concept of “records management” in scientific theoretical discourse as equivalent to the latter. The subject area of the field of records management was analyzed by E. S. Belous in order to formulate its main features that distinguish records management from office work and document support of management. She did not consider the hierarchy of concepts, but stated that the term “records management” meant not only work with documents, but also its requirements, and also indicated that the purpose of this activity was associated with the possibility of using records as evidence of activity.
“Kind Advice of a Competent Writer-Scientist and Warm Compassion of a Kind Sympathetic Person”: V. D. Ulrich’s Letters to V. I. Semevsky (1893–1905) as a Historical Source
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Ural Branch, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, Gavrilov Sergey V. , Gavrilova Irina A. ,   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation
Published: January 2023

The article publishes letters of the Riga Social Democrat, publicist and translator Vasily D. Ulrich addressed to the prominent Narodnik historian and public figure Vasily I. Semevsky. They are of considerable interest to researchers. They help to trace with an unbiased eye the specifics of interpersonal communication between a Marxist and a Narodnik during active discussions that unfolded between these movements in the 1890s and were identified in the Soviet historiographical tradition as an ideological defeat of the Narodniks. Alongside with the principle of historicism, the authors have applied the method of biographical analysis, which made it possible to explore the life paths of the correspondent and his addressee. The archeographic method has permitted to compile a historical description of the archival collection and to publish a number of letters dating 1893?1905. The letters are kept in the personal provenance fond of the Narodnik historian in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences located in Moscow. The beginning of the correspondence dates back to May 17, 1893; it ended on December 30, 1905. The archive file includes 20 letters from Ulrich to Semevsky (51 sheets). Reasons for termination of the correspondence are unknown. It could have been Ulrich’s going underground as a member of the Riga committee of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party or his loss of utilitarian interest in the addressee. Chronologically, the correspondence can be divided into three periods: prior to the correspondent’s arrest, during Ulrich’s exile to Ilimsk, and after his return to the European part of Russia. The letters cover such issues as writing opinions and reviews on Ulrich’s works on the liberation of the Ostsee peasants; problem of early Marxists’ materialistic approach to history; joining the “Union of Mutual Assistance of Russian Writers” and discussing the its Charter; sending books to Ulrich in his exile and petitioning the authorities to improve his life conditions; seeking additional earnings; representing his interests in the censorship commission; functioning of the Literary Fund; describing the provincial socio-cultural atmosphere; Semevsky’s lobbying for publication of translated Marxist literature. The letters show great tact and benevolent attitude of the convinced Riga Marxist to his addressee. Ulrich’s letters to Semevsky are a valuable source of personal provenance, reflecting nature, forms, and specifics of non-public communication between the representatives of Marxism and Populism at the turn of the 20th century and awaiting its researcher and publisher.
THE PROCESS OF RETURNING THE CLOSED CHURCHES IN THE MOSCOW REGION TO BELIEVERS DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR. BASED ON THE SOURCES OF THE TSAMO
Authors:   Gzhel State University, Nikonov Vadim V.
Published: January 2023

The article considers the mechanism of opening the Orthodox churches in the Moscow region during the Great Patriotic War. The main source of the research is the quarterly reports of A.A. Trushin, the commissioner of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow and the Moscow region, to G.G. Karpov, the Council Chairman, on the state of affairs and the activities of the Church in the Moscow region. Those reports contain statistical information on the number of working and closed churches, as well as on the petitions sent to the Council by believers with the requests to resume the parish life. The analyzed documents indicate that the process of returning the churches to believers started even before the formation of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church, and in the period between 1941 and 1943, 44 churches were opened in the Moscow region. Later, that process continued, and by the end of 1945, the services had been resumed in 45 more churches. Thus, of the 169 churches operating in the Moscow Region in 1946, more than half were opened during the war. The material of the article is based on the archival documents of the Central State Archives of the Moscow region, largely introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

Published: January 2023

Existe un interés global en la detección de gases tóxicos, para la protección del medio ambiente y los seres humanos. Se han desarrollado múltiples estudios enfocados en el uso de sensores de gases basados en óxidos metálicos, como es el óxido de zinc (ZnO), el cual presenta propiedades electrónicas específicas como sensor de gases por ser un semiconductor tipo n y bajo costo de producción. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el uso de nanoestructuras de ZnO, para la fabricación de sensores del gas ácido sulfhídrico (H2S), así como las técnicas de obtención más comunes de dichas estructuras. Las características de las nanoestructuras de óxido de zinc (NE´s-ZnO) varían por efecto del método de obtención, generando diferentes morfologías y tamaño, que impactan en la capacidad de detección de gas (0.5 ppm a 600 ppm) y en el rango de temperatura que se requiere. Los avances en la generación de diversas NE´s-ZnO facilitarán la posibilidad de generar sensores que puedan ser utilizados en detectores portátiles y operen a temperatura ambiente, lo cual es un reto actual.
Relationship as Possibility and Future Gift in Professional Mental Health Encounters
Authors: Marte Bygstad-Landro  , Saevi Tone
Published: January 2023

This article highlights the lived experience of the relationship between the mental health nurse and the patient in institutional treatment. The premise for a relationship between persons in professional settings is the awareness of the responsibility that the relationship is a possibility rather than a tool, and that the relationship is a lived encounter additional to being a factual experience. Any relationship – personal and professional – in this understanding is an action as well as a re-action, as both parties are at mercy of each other and thus they can only partly plan and predict the process and the outcome of their relationship. We explore the relationship between nurse and patient, in terms of the tension between difference and togetherness, and suggest solicitude to be a core quality in mental health relations.

Introduction. Prostate cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases in men. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is associated with better urinary continence, compared with open and laparoscopic technique. Their oncologic outcomes are comparable. However, urinary incontinence after this surgery remains a challenge. Aim. To present a new technique of anterior reconstruction of pelvic structures during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and evaluate its efficacy and safety. Materials and methods. We evaluated the results of treatment of 50 patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer. They treated during the period from November 2020 till June 2021 in one medical centre. All surgeries were performed using transperitoneal access with anatomical-sparing technique. The anterior reconstruction of pelvic structures was performed with endopelvic fascia. All patients were informed about the study and signed the consent. The main perioperative parameters were assessed, as well as early oncological and functional outcomes. Evaluation the results of immediate and early urinary continence was carried out on the basis of questionnaire data. Results. The mean operative time was 140 min (110–170 min), mean console time was 72,5 min (45–100 min), the duration of the anterior reconstruction was 5,25 min (3,0–7,5 min). The average intraoperative blood loss was 50 ml (15–75 ml). There were no III-IV Clavien-Dindo complications. The 74% of patients were continent immediately after the surgery. The continent rate in a month after the surgery was 93%. Conclusion. This technique of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy with anterior reconstruction is safe and effective. It does not increase the risk of complications and have no detrimental effect the oncological outcomes, while its early functional results are promising.

One of the important capture fisheries commodities in Southeast Sulawesi, especially small-scale fisheries, is blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) using traps. The catching is said to be successful if it gets the maximum profit for the business actor. The use of different types of bait in trap results in different catches. The purpose of this study was to analyze the financial aspects which include costs, income, profits, and the level of financial feasibility of catching crabs using different baits, namely peperek fish and anchovies. The method used in this study is a survey method, namely by reviewing, observing and collecting information data directly in the field. The results of the study indicated that the variable costs incurred annually have a greater amount than the fixed costs. The biggest revenue from the crab catching business was by using peperek fish bait, with the profits being able to cover the costs incurred. Crab fishing business using peperek fish is said to be feasible and profitable as seen from the value of NPV, IRR, and B/C Ratio with the return on capital in the category of medium return on capital. Meanwhile, by using anchovy bait, there is a loss, where the revenue obtained cannot cover the costs incurred.

Evolution of Timekeeping from Water Clock to Quartz Clock - the Curious Case of the Bulova ACCUTRON 214 the First Transistorized Wristwatch
Authors: Santos Edval JP
Published: January 2023

The technological discoveries and developments since dawn of civilization that resulted in the modern wristwatch are linked to the evolution of Science itself.  A history of over 6000 years filled with amazing technical prowess since the emergence of the first cities in Mesopotamia established by the \v{S}umer civilization. Usage of gears for timekeeping has its origin in the Islamic Golden Age about 1000 years ago. Although gears have been known for over 2000 years such as found in the Antikythera Mechanism. Only in the seventeenth century springs started to be used in clock making. In the eighteenth century the amazing \textit{Tourbillon} was designed and built to increase clock accuracy. In the nineteenth century the tuning fork was used for the first time as timebase. Wristwatches started to become popular in the beginning of the twentieth century. Later in the second half of the twentieth century the first electronic wristwatch was designed and produced, which brings us to the curious case of the Bulova \textit{ACCUTRON} caliber 214 the first transistorized wristwatch, another marvel of technological innovation and craftsmanship whose operation is frequently misunderstood. In this paper the historical evolution of timekeeping is presented. The goal is to show the early connection between Science and Engineering in the development of timekeeping devices. This linked development only became common along the twentieth century and beyond.
A Comprehensive Review on Automation-based Sizing Techniques for Analog IC Design
Authors: Girardi Alessandro , De-Oliveira Tailize , Ghissoni Sidinei , Aguirre Paulo Cesar , Compassi-Severo Lucas
Published: January 2023

Analog integrated circuits are present in most electronic systems. They must be designed carefully in order to achieve the required performance specifications. Although almost half of the design effort in a chip is spent in analog modules, there are not yet a consolidated industry of analog design automation tools capable to fully synthesize analog circuits in a fast and generic way. This is due the fact that automatic or semi-automatic design tools have to deal with high design complexity, which includes several specifications and design variables. A lot of research effort have been done in this field in the past years, proposing methods for automating parts of the design flow, from topology selection to devices sizing and layout generation. This paper presents a review of the state-of-the art in analog design automation methods, focusing on techniques and algorithms used to size robust circuits while efficiently exploring the design space.

An overview of the influence of climate change on food security and human health
Authors: Sanober Naheed
Published: January 2023

Climate change is increasing the frequency of climate-related disasters, creating greater risks of hunger and the breakdown of food systems. The sustainability of our planet is currently a major concern for the global community and has been a central theme for a number of major global initiatives in recent years. Climate change has prevalent, multi-faceted, and temporal impacts on food security. Higher temperatures, water scarcity, extreme events like droughts and floods and greater CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have already begun to impact staple crops around the world. The warming climate is already taking a toll on human health, causing widespread hunger and illness that will grow exponentially worse, and will pose a major threat to human well-being. In this article, an attempt has been made to discuss some critical issues relevant to the four dimensions of food security and to provide broader perspectives on climate change and its impacts on the food system, food security and human well-being. “Humanity is facing a rare challenge. But it is a common challenge. There are no sides in the fight for climate justice” (Kofi Annan’s message prior to the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen 2009).

Community pharmacists are accessible health care professionals to the public. With pharmacy services relying on communication, being proficient communicators enables them to provide medication education. However, it is a challenge for people with hearing disabilities to acquire medication education due to their unique language and preference in communication methods, thereby community pharmacists are needed to address the said issue. This study determined the selected community pharmacists’ extent of knowledge, actions, and confidence (KAC) in medication education to people with hearing disabilities through a descriptive quantitative-comparative research design. A convenience-purposive sampling technique was used to gather 200 Filipino community pharmacists who are currently working in the Philippines and had prior experience serving people with hearing disabilities. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data on their socio-demographic profile, seminar and/or training on disability sensitivity, and the extent of KAC in medication education to these people. Only the number of years in service (Sig.=0.029) had a significant difference in the respondents’ socio-demographic profile to the extent of confidence in communication methods. The respondents were also identified to be knowledgeable on the privileges in health services of these people. However, inappropriate communication strategies under action were still employed by the respondents, such as talking in a loud voice, speaking near the hearing ear, speaking solely to the companion, providing only written materials, and general use of Filipino Sign Language, despite their confidence in medication education to these people. Hence, improvement of their KAC through programs or training is important to ensure appropriate and more effective communication with people with hearing disabilities.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Human leishmaniasis is distributed worldwide and is mainly in the tropics and subtropics, with a prevalence of 12 million cases and an approximately incidence of 0.5 million cases of VL and 1.5 million cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Leishmania parasites are vector-born protozoan pathogens found in tropical and subtropical regions of both the old and new world. The disease in human can be divided into cutaneous, visceral, and mucosal syndromes. The aim of this study was more experiments over our previous new formulation leishmania major vaccine which had satisfactory experiments results. Method: For detail procedure refers to author’s previous publications. Briefly, hundred and twenty Balb/cmice were randomly divided into four groups as LT, LB, LBT and control groups. LT, LB and LBT injected subcutaneously with the antigen and the same booster doses with two weeks intervals. The expansion rates of the spleen white pulp size was evaluated using a light microscope and the levels of the serum Th1 (IFN- γ, IL-12) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines measured with the ELISA method. Results: Comparing to the LT and LB groups, the LBT group had highest levels of serum IL12, lowest levels of IL10 and highest increase in the spleen white pulp size. Significant correlation was observed between IL12 and IL10 but not IFN gamma or IL4. Conclusion: present study indicated that the LBT group which received crude cocktail leishmania antigen plus alcoholic extract of Teucrium polium and BCG as adjuvant showed satisfactory cytokines profile comparing to groups LT and LB,since highest levels of IL12 and lower levels of IL10 which could help the infected subjects to inhibit or eradication the intracellular leishmania amastigotes, and also was seen highest increase in the spleen white-pulp size which pointed to the synergistic effects of alcoholic extract of T. polium and BCG.

Authors: Ezealisiji Kenneth Maduabuchi  , Okoh Precious Tobechukwu
Published: January 2023

The use of herbal medicine has achieved global success as an ethno-medicine, yet there are lots of drawbacks in their commercial value and wide acceptance due to poor regulation and standardization. Present study aims to chemo-metrically characterize the phyto-chemical principles present in the n-hexane seed extracts of Xylopia aethiopica using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. The crude n-hexane extracts were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) model 8400S and GC-MS (Model-QP 2010 plus Spec). The identification of compounds was done using NIST ver.2.0-year 2005 Library. The biological activity are based on Dr. Duke’s phytochemical and ethno-botanical databases. The FTIR revealed functional groups such as alkenes, alkanes, alcohols, aromatic rings as well as fatty acids. The GC-MS revealed phyto-compounds such as alpha-Terpineol, alpha-cubabene, pinocarvone, copaene and alpha-muurolene. The presence of these vital phytochemicals with excellent pharmacological activity may explain their usage in traditional medicine.

Herbal medicine is the use of medicinal plants. Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through much of human history, and such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today. Modern medicine makes use of many plant-derived compounds as the basis for evidence-based pharmaceutical drugs. Many herbs are applied topically to the skin in a variety of forms. Essential oil extracts can be applied to the skin, usually diluted in a carrier oil. Many essential oils can burn the skin or are simply too high dose used straight; diluting them in olive oil or another food grade oil such as almond oil can allow these to be used safely as a topical.

Background: renal failure disease usually occurs when the blood supply to the kidneys is suddenly interrupted or when the kidneys become overloaded with toxins. Objectives: in this article two main survival models were used, Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier to estimate the median patient survival time for conditions causing renal failure and to comparison of the survival rates of people with illnesses causing renal failure. Methods: The research community is made up of individuals who have been diagnosed with renal failure, and the data were gathered from the patient records at the Police Hospital (Khartoum - Burri). All individuals with renal failure who were tracked down and given the diagnosis were included in the process of thorough inventory. The computations were done using some statistical Software (SPSS, STATA), with level of significance 0.05. Results: some variables like other disease were causes RF ( diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, hepatitis, and growth retardation) associated with renal failure, Cox regression was used and the basic variables shown that 65.7% of the independent variables (duration of disease, housing, diabetes and hepatitis infection) determine the survival time of the estimated model. Conclusions: Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression methods both are used in clinical and epidemiological research. The Cox regression analysis is based on estimating the HR associated with a specific risk factor or predictor for a given endpoint. The standard Cox regression method allows for an investigation of the effect of one or more variables (covariates) on the “time-to-first-event” analysis. An assessment of proportional hazards is a prerequisite to fitting a Cox regression model.

Alternatif Penyelesaian sengketa biasa digunakan para pihak yang bersengketa salah satunya melalui mediasi.. Melalui pihak penengah, disebut dengan mediator, dilakukan di luar pengadilan (non litigasi). Penyelesaian sengketa melalui mediasi ini tentunya tidak selalu berhasil tercapainya perdamaian, karena sengketa berlanjut, kurang ahlinya tokoh masyarakat  bertindak sebagai pendamai para pihak (mediator). Seperti salah satu hasil penelitian penulis dilakukan di Desa Kualu Kecamatan Tambang, terhadap pelaksanaan penyelesaian sengketa yang terjadi dalam masyarakat. Desa ini dengan sistem kekarabatan yang berlaku adalah matrilineal, atau sistem kekerabatan yang diambil dari garis keturunan Ibu.Permasalah dalam masyarakat melalui musyawarahkan oleh para tokoh masyarakat adat . Namun yang bertindak sebagai pihak penengah yang netral disebut mediator, yakni ninik mamak yang dihormati masyarakat dan kelompok suku yang ada. Sebelumnya dimusyarawarahkan oleh kerabat atau keluarga terdekat. Jika permasalahan masih berlanjut maka diselesaikan melalui ninik mamak suku. Namun pelaksanaan mediasi dalam masyarakat ini dihadiri oleh pihak lain selain para pihak yang bersengketa, tentunya tidak sesuai dengan teori mediasi yang bersifat rahasia. Kendala lain mediator tersebut belum mempunyai sertifikat sebagai mediator. Adanya teknik mediasi yang dilakukan dengan cara “kaukus” atau mediator bertemu dengan para pihak dengan cara memisahkan tempat antara pihak satu dengan yang lainnya, cara dialog antara mediator dengan para pihak satu persatu.
