An analysis of recent scientific publications and special literature on national security issues shows that approaches to the methodological aspects of research in this area are currently in place. The problem of delimitation of certain components of national security, in particular border security, remains relevant. However, its key concepts are not clearly defined, which complicates the definition of the subject of research, accurate analysis and preparation of appropriate recommendations for its implementation. As a result, the issue of border security is currently not deeply studied, in particular, insufficient attention is paid to geopolitical realities, external and internal factors that affect its state. This can be confirmed by a number of scientific publications that demonstrate simplified views of the state border. It is perceived simply as a physical line of demarcation of the territory of states, draws conclusions about the "blurring" of borders between European states and questions the need to protect them in the era of globalization. At the same time, the competence and tasks of the border institution are limited only to checking the documents of travelers across the border at checkpoints and control of its area outside them. Taking into account the main trends and consequences of deep transformations of geopolitical and geoeconomic space, today there is a need for thorough research in the field of border security of Ukraine as a component of national security, as well as defining a clear place and role of its guarantee. functions, especially with the emergence of new types of threats, in particular: the temporary occupation by the Russian Federation of part of Ukraine - the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, Russia's incitement to armed conflict in the eastern regions of Ukraine, the threat of its spread through the territory of our state, but also aimed at destroying the system of world and regional security and the principles of international law. We consider it necessary to substantiate the structure and content of the border security model as the basis for further development of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, which is the basis for the formation and implementation of modern European border policy, including bringing Ukrainian border legislation to European law.

El metus como posible causa de ineficacia del negocio jurídico. El caso del in adulterio deprehensus
Authors: Domínguez López Esther
Published: November 2024

Sabemos que en s. I a.C., y como remedio para los que habían realizado un negocio jurídico bajo coacción, otorga el pretor la actio quod metus causa (referida en D. 4,2 “quod metus causa gestum erit”), cuyo objetivo era obtener el reintegro del perjuicio patrimonial del acto realizado por miedo. De entre los varios supuestos contemplados por los juristas en que tenía aplicación este edicto, se menciona el de los adúlteros que por miedo a las represalias (fundamentalmente metus mortis) realizaban un determinado negocio. Se trata de una interesante en cuanto novedosa perspectiva, teniendo en cuenta que el adulterio suscitó gran interés ab antiquo, pero es la primera vez que lo encontramos conectado a la teoría general del negocio jurídico.

Published: November 2024

Este artículo presenta una investigación sobre las experiencias de un grupo de docentes que está implementando el DUA. El estudio se centra en analizar la visión de los docentes sobre el DUA, las principales estrategias y recursos tecnológicos empleados, así como las principales dificultades que encuentran en su aplicación. Se ha utilizado el grupo focal como técnica de trabajo dentro de la investigación cualitativa dado que la interacción grupal favorece la producción de datos y perspectivas. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que el profesorado valora el DUA como un modelo que promueve presencia, participación y logro en el alumnado con necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo. Asimismo, las metodologías y estrategias más utilizadas son las actividades multiniveladas y el aprendizaje basado en proyectos. Las TIC empleadas responden fundamentalmente al principio de representación y se utilizan más en la Enseñanza Secundaria. Los principales obstáculos encontrados son las elevadas ratios, la necesidad de formación del profesorado y la rigidez en la organización del aula. En este contexto, es importante que los docentes mejoren su formación, amplíen el uso de las TIC, para atender a todos los principios del DUA, y cuenten con aulas más flexibles.

Authors: Turnes Juan , García-Herola Antonio , Morillo-Verdugo Ramón , Méndez Marinela , Hernández Cándido , Sicras-Mainar Antoni
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) share pharmacokinetic pathways with many comedications commonly administered to patients living with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (PLWHCV). International guidelines recommend a thorough drug-drug interaction (DDI) risk assessment prior to starting DAA therapy and before starting comedications. This study aims to evaluate the impact of potential multiple DDIs in the real-life adverse event (AE) profile of PLWHCV treated with DAAs. Material and method: This is a retrospective, observational study using electronic medical records. Patients included were PLWHCV and were treated with either the protease inhibitor (PI) free DAA sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) or glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) between 2017 and 2020. Potential (single and multiple) DDIs were identified using the Liverpool HEP Interaction Checker. AEs potentially associated to DDIs were identified during DAA treatment period. Results: 1620 patients with DAA prescriptions (SOF/VEL or GLE/PIB) were included. Of these, 123 were predicted to have multiple DDIs (multi-DDI). About 10% (123/1256) of the patients receiving ≥2 comedications were at risk of multi-DDI with DAA. Most comedication-associated AEs were recorded in this multi-DDI population (88.9%, 16/18), meaning that 13% (16/123) of the multi-DDI population suffered AEs. According to DAA regimen, more comedication-associated AEs were reported in GLE/PIB-treated as compared with SOF/VEL-treated patients (18.3% [13/71] vs 5.8% [3/52] p<0.05). These AEs were mainly reported by primary care physicians (62.5%). Discussion: PLWHCV predicted to have multiple DDIs are at high risk of AEs. Moreover, fewer comedication-associated AEs were identified with the PI-free DAA SOF/VEL as compared with GLE/PIB.

Published: November 2024

Objectives: To analyze how the rights to a healthy environment and a family environment of invisible children are protected in the Socabaya-Arequipa-Peru Women’s Prison.
Material and method: Data taken from the official documents in the following three prison records were used: the incident log, medical statistical report and the activity control book. The selection criteria were based on the availability, plausibility and official nature of the information in the documents. Qualitative analysis of the applied type and the designs of documentary analysis and grounded theory were selected for the method.
Results: The rights of invisible children to healthy conditions and a family environment are inadequately protected in the Socabaya-Arequipa-Peru Women’s Prison. Lack of prison health services disrupt family relationships and negatively impact female inmates’ rights.
Discussion: The lack of political will to guarantee rights to healthy conditions and a family environment is due to the fact that gender-based approaches, policies based on the protection of children’s interests, greater transparency and access to public information have yet to be introduced in the prison healthcare milieu.

Authors: Prakash Poonam
Published: November 2024

Ensuring high-quality service delivery in the healthcare industry is crucial for both overall organizational success and patient satisfaction. However, numerous gaps often exist between patient expectations and perceptions of service quality, necessitating effective tools for assessment and improvement. The SERVQUAL method emerges as a valuable tool for quality assurance in healthcare, addressing these gaps through its comprehensive framework. SERVQUAL encompasses five key domains: reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy and responsiveness.

When SERVQUAL is used in the healthcare industry, these domains are evaluated using a variety of approaches, such as focus groups discussions, interviews, and surveys. Healthcare organizations can customize interventions to enhance service quality and patient satisfaction by finding gaps between patient expectations and actual service delivery. The intricacy of patient-provider interactions and cultural diversity present challenges for SERVQUAL implementation in the healthcare industry, emphasizing the necessity for nuanced methods.

Despite these challenges, SERVQUAL remains a valuable tool for enhancing quality assurance in healthcare, promoting a patient-centered approach to service delivery. Through its methodical assessment of service quality along several dimensions, it helps healthcare organizations to focus on important areas for development, which eventually improves patient outcomes and experiences.

Published: November 2024

: To quantitate and compare the anxiety level associated with patients who have undergone surgical extraction of teeth and root canal treatment.

: This study was conducted on 100 patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (50) requiring surgical extraction of teeth and Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics (50) requiring root canal treatment. Patients were randomly enrolled for the study and were given a questionnaire after the completion treatment (extraction and root canal treatment). The anxiety levels were evaluated based on the scores of the Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale.

: The results of the present study showed that the dental anxiety was higher among subjects who have undergone surgical extraction of teeth when compared to the patients undergone root canal treatment.

: In conclusion, maxillofacial surgeons should consider that patients initially visit dental office for treatment of surgical extraction of teeth with severe anxiety which could be due to conditioning or learned responses which these patients might have experienced or first visit. Thus a prior awareness of the patient's predisposition to dental anxiety may be of value, enabling to take appropriate measures pre-operatively. Thus our aim is to give anxiety free dental treatment to the patients and better postoperative recovery.

Mucormycosis is an uncommon but significant developing opportunistic fungal co-infection (COVID-19) that is frequently linked with substantial morbidities. Rhino-orbit-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is the severe clinical type, appearing in debilitated individuals in association with sinus or paranasal sinus involvement because of the proclivity for contiguous spread. Prompt care of Rhino-orbit-cerebral mucormycosis focuses on therapeutic medications such as antifungals, antibiotics, and vigorous surgical debridement. Post-operative orbital defect restoration can be accomplished by utilising either surgical reconstructive procedures or a prosthesis.

The design of an ocular prosthesis to rehabilitate the patient based on the underlying clinical condition, prosthetic material, and prosthetic retention. The current report discusses the rehabilitation of an exenterated orbit with a cranio-naso-orbital fistula defect and contracted eyelid by a hollow ocular prosthesis with a magnet-assisted handle. The objective was to preserve the biological health of the underlying postsurgical tissue, prosthetic design and optimal aesthetics.
“Let’s say it wears an Ebola Coat, but it’s not Ebola”: The Rhetoric and Politics of Reframing a Vaccine for a Transnational Clinical Trial
Authors: Thiongane Oumy , Bamba Issiaka , Sawadogo Hélène N , David Pierre-Marie , Mathiot Benjamin , Graham Janice E
Published: November 2024

Focusing on how disease, health and vaccine research take on different forms, meanings and interpretations in diverse contexts, we examine the use of rhetoric to recruit people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa for an Ebola vaccine clinical trial. Conducted after the West African Ebola outbreak in a country that had not been affected by Ebola, the urgency, relevance and materiality of disease, health and biomedical research takes on different shapes, meanings and understandings. The limitations of multilateral initiatives to address inequalities in associated healthcare and access to essential medicines and vaccines highlight the tensions created when neither local researchers nor patient communities have been involved in the design or planning of the trial, and when the pathologies targeted by experimental technologies are either inappropriate for the people they are aimed at, or unfold without the knowledge of a social consensus.
By deciphering the metaphorical discourse on an Ebola vaccine candidate and the erasure of a viral ontology from the hybrid technology to which it gives rise, we understand that the discourse of clinic staff makes it possible to establish a scientific truth in the service of instrumental productivity: manufacturing consent and recruiting arms for vaccine shots.
In this article, we show that the closure of biomedicine to an esoteric discourse reflects the weakness of science in communicating what it actually does and the techniques it produces. It also addresses the failure of community engagement in the field of emerging infectious diseases.
Traditional Environmental Knowledge in a Changing Environment: Vuntut Gwitchin Observations of Change in the Yukon Territory
Authors: Consiglio Erin
Published: November 2024

Scientists, resource managers and developers increasingly seek out Traditional or Indigenous Knowledge to deepen their understanding of the environment. Yet, even as the value of this knowledge is recognized, misperceptions remain; Traditional Knowledge is still often seen as something static, unchanged from one generation to the next rather than as something flexible and adaptive. Ethnographic research with the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation challenges these perceptions. Their observations of contemporary environmental change in the western Canadian Arctic are becoming part of their Traditional Knowledge, proving that this system of knowledge is resilient and will continue even as the environment becomes ever more unpredictable.

Published: November 2024

The character of water chromaticity change in a water source, which is the main one for organizing water supply of a large urban agglomeration, is analyzed. It is shown that the correlation analysis characterizes the interrelationship between the coagulant dose and water chromaticity as noticeable (on the Cheddock scale), which predetermines the necessity to take into account water chromaticity as a parameter influencing the choice of coagulant dose. Variation series were constructed, empirical and theoretical functions of water chromaticity distribution by months were obtained. The possibility of modeling the reagent dose on the change of chromaticity taking into account specific conditions of practically constant influence of seasonal and random factors in the selected periods has been achieved. It is concluded that the chromaticity index makes a significant contribution to the value of the predicted value of coagulant dose.

Ethical and Legal Protection of Drinking Water Resources in Islamic Jurisprudence (with Emphasis on Drinking Water Resources in Kabul)
Authors: Alami Basir Mohammad Eisa , Rezaei Ibrahim
Published: November 2024

Water is a vital resource for all living beings. The increase in population and decrease in rainfall in many cities around the world have led to serious water scarcity and pollution of wells and water resources in countries. The expansion of industrial production has resulted in the release of pollutants into surface and groundwater in cities and farmlands of countries. Therefore, this research has been conducted in a library way to examine the views and solutions of Islamic jurisprudence on resolving the problems and preserving the health of drinking water resources and wells, especially in Kabul. The findings of this research are that to preserve the health of water resources, a legal or spatial boundary between neighboring wells or farmers is required to be 500 meters in soft land, but in hard land, at least 250 meters between them is necessary to prevent the resulting damages. However, the distance between a well and a septic tank is 2.5 meters in hard land, and at least 7 cubits or 3.5 meters in soft areas. This is to purify water pollutants and prevent the resulting damages to neighbors. The legal boundary approach has been stated to compensate for the damage caused by a well or a water canal. Moral boundary means the growth of human responsibility to prevent water and environmental pollution in Islamic jurisprudence. Natural pollutant filters for well and canal water are the elements of soil, sand, abundant or flowing water, and oxygen present in water in Islamic jurisprudence.

Behavioral Economics Concepts and the Q.E. Method
Authors: Challoumis Constantinos
Published: November 2024

In Behavioral Economics, the notion of perfect rationality is replaced by a more nuanced understanding that recognizes the limits of human decision-making, such as bounded rationality, willpower, self-interest, and attention. Instead of expecting individuals to always act in perfectly rational ways, models in Behavioral Economics are judged by the accuracy of their predictions rather than the realism of their assumptions. This perspective aligns well with the Quantification of Quality Data (Q.E.) method, which also prioritizes the accuracy and integrity of the model's outcomes over the simplicity of its assumptions. The Q.E. method begins with a solid theoretical framework, where a hypothesis is carefully crafted to define the scope and objectives of the analysis. This initial step is crucial because it sets the foundation for the mathematical determination that follows, ensuring that the analysis is rooted in a clear theoretical context rather than being driven solely by empirical data. By generating values for independent variables within a defined range through randomization, the Q.E. method allows for a comprehensive exploration of how these variables influence the model. This process typically involves the use of multiple mathematical equations to fully capture the complex behavior of the model. A key feature of the Q.E. method is its feedback loop, which plays a critical role in maintaining consistency between the mathematical model and the underlying theoretical principles. Through iterative hypothesis testing, model adjustment, and continuous feedback, the Q.E. method ensures that the mathematical model not only aligns with the theory but also accurately reflects the behavioral nuances that are central to Behavioral Economics. This rigorous approach allows for the refinement of the initial hypothesis and the confirmation of the model’s predictive accuracy, ensuring that the quantification of quality data is both theoretically sound and empirically valid. In this way, the Q.E. method supports the development of Behavioral Economic models that are robust, reliable, and reflective of real-world decision-making processes.

The most recent technologies have assisted educators in simplifying the process of teaching and learning; for example, they have expanded the writing course into an activity that is no longer restricted to the combination of words, phrases, and sentences to express the meaning in place of collaborating audio, video, and web-based elements in teaching-learning, which are all considered to be examples of digital technology. In particular, this conceptual paper focuses on the nature of multimodal digital composition, how digital multimodal is utilized in the teaching and learning processes of writing as well as the challenge and its solutions. Initially, a definition of what precisely digital composing is will be provided. The researcher conducts an in-depth investigation of recent studies on multimodal digital composition (MDC) and the function of multimodal digital composition (MDC) in improving comprehension and enhancing acquisition. Furthermore, pedagogical implementations are explored, in which the researcher outlines a multimodal digital composition (MDC) process that language teachers might utilize as a guide for the teaching-learning process of writing. A discussion of pedagogical implications follows this section. In conclusion, the obstacles and potential remedies leading to a deeper understanding are examined.
