Developing and validating an anti-Asian area racism index at the county level in the contiguous United States 2020 - 2021
Authors: Hohl Alexander , Wen Ming , Wu Guangzhen , Zhang Yue , Li Zhenlong , Su Dejun
Published: August 2024

Historical narratives and the "model minority" myth have obscured the realities of anti-Asian racism in the United States. The escalation of prejudice and hate crimes against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic further underscored the need for robust measures to quantify this phenomenon. This study proposes a novel county-level index specifically designed to capture the multifaceted nature of anti-Asian racism. The index integrates a diverse data set including geotagged Twitter data assessing public attitudes and potential hate speech directed toward Asian Americans, anti-Asian hate crime records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting System, Google Search Trends data about anti-Asian stereotypes and narratives, and alien land bills denoting context for discriminatory policies against Asian immigrants at the state level. We employed Principal Component Analysis to combine these data sources into a single, composite index. A validation of the index using nationally representative survey data indicates that two of the three identified principal components significantly predict area racism against Asian respondents. This study offers a nuanced understanding of anti-Asian racism and has the potential to inform targeted interventions, the allocation of resources for community support and educational initiatives, and can be instrumental for policymakers in identifying areas with heightened anti-Asian bias. Additionally, the index serves as a foundation for future research, facilitating the exploration of correlations between anti-Asian racism and various health and social outcomes. While limitations exist regarding data subjectivity and availability, this index represents a significant advancement in measuring anti-Asian racism at the county level. It paves the way for a more comprehensive understanding of this critical issue and the development of effective strategies to combat racial injustice and address related geographic disparities.

COSSACKS IN THE BORDER REGIONS OF RUSSIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION (SMO): IDENTITY AND MILITARY GUIDELINES
Authors:   Southern Federal University, DENISOVA G.S. , KOVALEV V.V. ,   Southern Federal University
Published: August 2024

The topicality of the research problem consists in the lack of representative studies on the commitment of the Cossacks to participate in the Special Military Operation (SMO). The objective of this paper is to describe the Cossacks’ identity and reveal their value profile. This is done in order to highlight the Cossacks’ military attitudes as a factor of participation in SMO, on the basis of their social portrait. The study of the problem is based on structural-functional analysis, which connects identity with the fulfillment of social roles and status positions of social groups. The fundamental empirical method employed was a questionnaire survey. The survey was conducted across all thirteen military Cossack societies. The sample size was 2480 respondents. Additionally, the method of analyzing documents was employed, including messengers in social networks, information platforms, and official websites of public authorities. The following positions can be identified as significant findings. The survey of the Cossacks revealed that approximately 30% of respondents considered military service to be an indispensable aspect of the Cossacks’ existence. The age group most likely to support the state policy of involving Cossacks in border protection, including direct participation in combat operations, is the 35-plus category. The distinctive characteristics of this group are awareness of SWO combat operations, cooperation with Cossacks participants of these operations, and wide support of the Presidential Decree on partial mobilization. The findings of the study indicate that representatives of this group are between one and a half to two times more willing to personally participate in military actions than non-registered Cossacks. These results were confirmed in the documents summarizing the interim results of Cossack participation in the SMO. Consequently, up to and including November 2023, twenty-five thousand Cossacks from eighteen Cossack volunteer detachments were directly involved in the line of combat resistance (LCR). It is notable that men in the 18-23 age group are much less likely to demonstrate adherence to the traditional military complex of the Cossacks. The potential avenues for further research into the issues raised in the paper include the monitoring of Cossack youth socialization, their orientation towards the construction of masculine characteristics and the military-service aspect of the Cossack identity.

In this study, the effects of Juglans regia L. (JR) leaf extract on histological damage and cytogenetic, electrophoretic, and biochemical parameters in the liver and kidney tissues of diabetic rats were investigated. In the study, 60 male rats (Sprague-Dawley) were separated into six groups. According to sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) data, it was determined that there were increases and decreases in different serum protein expressions because of the treatment of JR leaf extract in the diabetes group. In the kidney tissue of the diabetes group, an increase in volume in the glomeruli and narrowing of the Bowman's space as well as thickening of the walls of tubules were detected. Vacuolization and shedding were observed in the epithelial cells of tubules in the cortical regions in kidney. In diabetic + JR extract groups administered JR leaf extract at doses of 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, serum AST and ALT levels were reduced compared to the diabetic group. Diabetic rats' livers showed spotted necrosis and fibrosis in the portal area, biliary tract proliferation, mild inflammation, increased vascularization, unicellular necrosis in hepatocytes, and sinusoidal dilatation. The JR leaf extract group did not exhibit these problems. JR leaf extract influences reducing hepatotoxic and oxidative damage due to diabetes and increasing the level of antioxidant enzymes. As a result, it was concluded that the application of JR leaf extract may have a protective effect against damage caused by diabetes.

La función fiscal del ayuntamiento de Guadalajara en el siglo XVII
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Torres Morales Manuel
Published: August 2024

This article offers a historical overview of the origins of the resources with which the municipalities financed the maintenance of the cities and their inhabitants, taking the municipality of Guadalajara in the 17th century as a particular case. For this purpose, the authority granted by the Spanish Crown to local governments to acquire their ‘own’ resources is established, and how, in this way, the municipal institution was also a recipient and administrator of a type of tax with a defined structure. It is argued that this situation allowed the formation of a municipal treasury that financed the acquisition of the necessary resources for the sustenance of the city and its inhabitants. However, it is also documented how, at certain points in history, this fiscal structure did not meet its objectives and various alternatives were sought to address the population's needs, such as the assignment – i.e., encabezamiento – of the alcabala collection and the monopoly on coconut wine. The analysis presented here focuses on the diversity of income sources available to a municipality. Additionally, the uniqueness of the case of the Guadalajara council is defended, considering the city's status as the seat of the audiencia and bishopric institutions, as well as recognizing its privileged situation as a commercial hub of the Kingdom of New Galicia.

Published: August 2024

The article shows that modern national security is inextricably linked with ensuring global security, and also contains a very important legal component in addition to the military component. The primary role in this dual process belongs to the UN, so it is important to assess the position of the UN Secretary General on this issue. The latest Report of the Secretary General presents a new concept of the Rule of Law in international relations. Although the Report unduly focuses on the Rule of Law within States rather than in international relations, the Secretary General’s Report, which analyzes almost all aspects of the Organization’s activities, nevertheless shows effective measures towards strengthening International Law.
Development of the theory of the socialist state in political publications and legal documents of the stalin period of soviet history: problems and contraditions
Authors: Nekandrov Aleksey V.
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to an extended analysis of the most important texts of the Stalin era, in which the theory of the socialist state was presented. Based on historical and political analysis, the author traces and reconstructs the history of the development of Soviet political and legal thought of the Stalin period of Soviet history towards the creation of a well-founded and structured theory of the socialist state. This work was complicated by serious problems that arose due to serious contradictions between the theory they were creating and the most important Marxist principles, as well as with the main postulates of the Leninist doctrine of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The author comes to the conclusion that these reasons ultimately led to the situation that the theory of the socialist state created from the early 1930s to the early 1950s did not achieve internal structure and consistency. The Soviet theory of the state did not resolve its internal contradictions, of which the most important was the dualism of dictatorship and democracy. Thus, the Soviet theory of the socialist state of the Stalin era did not achieve internal harmony and logic.

Authors: Danielyan Armen S.
Published: August 2024

The goal of this study is to explore the current state and prospects for the use of artificial intelligence (Artificial intelligence, AI) in the framework of the administration of justice, in particular, in civil proceedings. In light of constantly changing social relations and the growing need to use modern technologies in various areas of life, including legal ones, it is important to understand what opportunities artificial intelligence can provide to improve legal proceedings and ensure the protection of citizens’ rights. The use of an artificial intelligence system in legal activitieshas a number of advantages, such as speeding up the decision-making process, increasing the accuracy and objectivity of decisions made, and improving the accessibility of justice. However, it is also necessary to take into account possible disadvantages, for example, the risk of data privacy violations and the possibility of errors in the algorithms, which can lead to an unfair decision. The final conclusion of the study is that the use of information technology andartificial intelligence systems should not be considered an end in itself but should be introduced as part of a strategyto improve the legal system and increase the effectiveness of the protection and restoration of the rights of subjectsof legal relations. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the social and ethical aspects of legal proceedings.

Published: August 2024

DHF (Dengue hemorrhagic fever) is a tropical endemic disease in Indonesia with a fluctuating trend in Lamongan. The main factor under control is the larval breeding habitat. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the characteristics of the water medium and the density of Aedes sp. mosquito larvae in Karanggeneng Village, Lamongan Regency. We conducted this quantitative study using a cross-sectional observational method on a sample of 80 houses in Karanggeneng Village, employing a straightforward random sampling technique. We recorded the data collection in the observation sheet and analyzed it with a chi-square test. The results showed that 37 houses were positive for Aedes sp. larvae based on HI (DF = 6), CI (DF = 6), and BI (DF = 7), so Karanggeneng Village has a high mosquito larval density. There is a significant relationship between water media and the presence of Aedes sp. mosquito larvae. The relationship between pH (p-value = 0.000), temperature (p-value = 0.000), and TDS (p-value = 0.000) is significant. We recommend regularly draining the water container weekly to prevent mosquito larvae from using it as a habitat.

Authors: Agustina Laili , Rahmawati Rahmawati , Erminawati Erminawati , Haris Abdul
Published: August 2024

Several studies have shown that the high number of germs in cutlery is due to the inability to carry out the sanitizing process. The sanitizing process can be done physically and chemically, using natural ingredients that contain active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which function as antibacterials, such as sapodilla leaves. Sapodilla leaf boiled water can be a simple disinfectant for society to improve the quality of cutlery hygiene. The study aimed to determine the concentration of sapodilla leaf boiled water, which effectively reduces E. coli and the number of germs. The statistical test used was Kruskal Wallis, followed by a nonparametric post hoc test. A total of 24 swab samples were used with eight treatments and three repetitions. The results showed that the examination for the presence of E. coli on cutlery was negative. Examination of the germ count showed that the highest germ rate was in the control and the lowest was 10%. Statistical test results showed that a concentration of 10% is effective in reducing the germ number. This study concludes that E. coli in the samples were all negative, and the effective concentration in reducing the number of germs on cutlery is 10%, reducing from 60,768.11 colonies/cm2 to 12 colonies/cm2. Suggestions for future researchers are to conduct trials using other extraction methods.

As the prevalence of neurocognitive disorders rises globally, developing new methodologies of prevention and treatment is crucial. This literature review examines the efficacy of adding nutritional supplements, specifically nootropics, with traditional pharmacological regimens on various neurocognitive and neurodegenerative disorders. Primary, peer-reviewed research, including both human and animal studies, was assesed to determine if there was a benefifical, minimal, or detrimental effect on symptom progression. The inclusion criteria focused on studies that evaluated the reduction in disease markers or symptoms following supplement use. The findings reveal that natural supplements generally support disease management. Significant improvements were noted with specific combinations like valproate and resveratrol in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis models, and Interferon-β with sesame oil in multiple sclerosis, showing decreased disease markers and better patient outcomes. This research suggests that nootropics and nutritional supplements can be beneficial in managing neurocognitive disorders, potentially improving patient quality of life and disease progression. Further investigations should explore these effects in human trials and consider the benefits of multiple supplement regimens.
Ferrajoli e o casamento civil igualitário
Authors: Macedo Júnior Gilson Santiago , Barreto Júnior Williem da Silva
Published: August 2024

Este artigo aborda a tensão entre os poderes constituídos no Brasil em relação ao reconhecimento do casamento civil entre casais homossexuais. Para tanto, recorre aos casos emblemáticos da ADI n.º 4.277 e da ADPF n.º 132 que equipararam uniões homoafetivas às heterossexuais. O estudo também analisa o PL n.º 5.167/2009 que propõe proibir o casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo. A partir do constitucionalismo garantista, o artigo considera essa tentativa como prejudicial, inconstitucional e ilegítima, sintomática de uma crise e tensão entre poderes, colocando em risco não apenas os direitos da população LGBTQIAP+, mas a própria democracia constitucional.
Investigating Quality of Life in Mental Health Professionals and the Role of Social Support and Spiritual Needs: A Cross-Sectional Study in Greece
Authors: Theofilou Paraskevi , Makri Maria
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of social support and spiritual needs on the Quality of Life of mental health professionals in Greece. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted on a sample of 97 mental health professionals of various specialties. The QoL10 questionnaire was used to assess the Quality of Life, the MSPSS for social support and the SpNQ for spiritual needs. The results of the survey showed that the Quality of Life of the participants was generally good, with an average value of 3.72 on a scale of 1-5. Social support appeared to be significantly and positively correlated with Quality of Life (r=0.565, p<0.001), while spiritual needs showed no significant correlation. Linear regression analysis revealed social support as the only significant predictor of QoL. Sociodemographic characteristics were not found to be significantly related to Quality of Life, although there were indications of a possible association with gender as well as marital status that need further investigation. In conclusion, social support appears to be an important protective factor for mental health professionals' Quality of Life. Future perspectives include continuing the research in a larger and more representative sample, as well as investigating additional factors that may influence the Quality of Life of this occupational group.

BACKGROUND: Water is essential for body hydration to maintain human mental and physical function. However, hot and humid weather in addition to physical activity can further increase fluid loss. We aimed to evaluate beverage consumption among school children aged 12-18 years in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire among intermediate and secondary school students. A random stratification technique was used to recruit schools followed by a non-random sampling technique of children's parents to recruit the adolescents 12-18 years. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the participants’ characteristics and beverage consumption.

RESULTS: A total of 1548 children have completed the questionnaire with a mean age of (15.69±1.68) years. The majority (65.2%) were females. The daily mean total beverage consumption was (1918.88±796.01) ml/day for females and (2238.53±879.96) ml/day for males, (p=<0.001). Children aged (14-18) years beverages consumption was (2052.41±842.01) ml/day and (1881.33±811.38) ml/day for children aged (12-13) years, (p=0.007). The highest consumed beverage for females and males was water (1124.94±548.36) ml/day and (1209.59±534.31) ml/day, respectively (p=0.004). Children aged (14-18) years consumed higher coffee (206.84±234.29) ml/day compared to those aged (12-13) years (78.68±140.71) ml/day, (p<0.001). Girls were drinking coffee (208.71±236.60) ml/day more than boys (158.36±206.54) ml/day (p<0.001).

CONCLUSION: Water is the main source of beverages in all age groups; however, beverage consumption was lower than the world health organization recommendation. The largest proportion of adolescents is at risk of inadequate hydration.

ВПЛИВ ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОГО ЗЕЛЕНОГО КУРСУ НА ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЮ ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ ЄС
Authors: Дармограй Давид
Published: August 2024

У статті визначено, що метою Європейського зеленого курсу є досягнення кліматичної нейтральності до 2050 року шляхом зменшення викидів парникових газів і розвитку сталих технологій. Реалізація цієї стратегії передбачає значні інвестиції в нові технології та інфраструктуру, що може стимулювати економічний ріст і створення нових робочих місць. Однак, для досягнення поставлених цілей необхідно гармонізувати інвестиційну політику країн ЄС і враховувати специфіку кожної держави. Аналіз показує, що успішна реалізація ЄЗК потребує ефективного залучення іноземних інвестицій і комплексних регуляторних заходів. Залучення іноземних інвестицій може не тільки допомогти фінансувати екологічні проекти, але й сприяти впровадженню інноваційних технологій, покращуючи екологічну ефективність і конкурентоспроможність європейської економіки.
