Spatial migration assessment and forecasting taking into account transport specifics
Authors:   Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS, Bychkova Anna A.
Published: October 2024

Introduction: the article focuses on the importance of studying the relationship between migration flows and the transportation system to develop a strategy for spatial development of the country’s territories. The author considers migration as a process of population resettlement from region to region. Objectives: modeling migration growth in Russian regions to build scenario forecasts for the nearest time and identifying its main trends. Migration growth analysis includes studying socio-economic factors and the current state based on the data collected for 2011–2021. Methods: the ARIMA modeling method was used as the basis for building trends for the next three years in three different scenarios: positive, inertial and pessimistic. Results: forecasts of migration growth are given. All three scenario assume an increase in migration after 2021, with the largest migration wave projected in the positive scenario and the smallest one – in the pessimistic scenario. The article also considered the impact of migration flows on transportation infrastructure and planning of its development, since migration process is impossible without the use of the transportation system of the Russian Federation. Conclusions: migration is a factor affecting the country’s economy; the analysis of migration flows and processes makes it possible to build an information and statistical basis for economic, demographic and social changes taking place in the country. The theoretical significance of the obtained results of the study of migration flows and forecasting consists in the development of research on population resettlement under the influence of socioeconomic factors in Russian practice.
A „szovjet minta” egyedi értelmezése az 1950-es évek óvodai nevelését meg-határozó dokumentumokban
Authors: Kóger Yvetta
Published: October 2024

Az alig kétszáz éves magyarországi óvodáztatás alakulási folyamatában 1948-tól egy átmeneti periódusról beszélhetünk, amikor is az ún. szocialista óvoda formálódott. Az egykori pártállam vezetősége által követelt új elveknek való megfelelés következménye lett az élet minden területét – így a nevelésügyet is – átható hiperközpontosított homogenizálásra törekvés a szovjet minta másolásával. E kutatás a hivatalos pártállami irányítás oldaláról vizsgálja az óvoda mint preszkoláris intézmény szerepét az épülő szocialista rendszer legitimációját segítő köznevelésben. A kutatási dimenziók orientálta forráskutatás során az óvodapolitikai dimenzió által kijelölt elsődleges források közül az óvodai nevelésre vonatkozó útmutatók is látótérbe kerültek. A szocialista blokk óvodáinak életét meghatározó első központi tartalmi szabályozók az 1950-es évek közepén kerültek kiadásra. A kutatás rávilágít az egységesítő törekvések mellett érvényesülő eltérő vonásokra két szocialista ország, Csehszlovákia és Magyarország vonatkozásában. A manifeszt és látens tartalmakra egyaránt fókuszáló komparatív elemzés eredményei megerősítik azt, hogy habár az ideológiailag vezérelt aktuál- és oktatáspolitikai döntések a szovjet minta elsődlegességét hangsúlyozták, mégis megjelenhettek egyedi vonások, eltérő hangsúlyok az egyes országok óvodai nevelését irányító utasításokban.
Transformation of the European Union's Foreign Economic Policy in the Context of Open Strategic Autonomy
Authors:   MGIMO University, Sergeev Egor
Published: October 2024

Changing parameters of economic globalization along with the transforming nature of the world economic hierarchy leads to the fact that key players in the world economy have to reconsider not only their place and role in the changing system, but also traditional approaches to economic policy and its main instruments. The European Union is no exception in this system, which today sets rather ambitious tasks to maintain its position in the global economy, as well as to transform its geo-economic power into geopolitical one. At least, this is how one might interpret the tasks set in the framework of the concept of open strategic autonomy of the European Union, which actually unambiguously unites different components of the Union's security (military, political, economic, etc.). This allows us to consider the EU trade and investment (foreign economic) policy (together with a number of other areas of activity) through the prism of the realist paradigm in the framework of international relations theory and to try to identify new political economy features of the EU's approach to its activities in the field of regulation of international trade and capital flows. By adjusting and transforming some key elements of external economic policy (primarily revising the parameters of preferential trade regimes, as well as approaches to bilateral and multilateral investment agreements), along with creating new coordination mechanisms and barriers to trade and capital flows (such as the Foreign Direct Investment Monitoring Mechanism and the Instrument for Protection against Economic Coercive Measures), the European Union is strengthening the "protective" component of its integration model, trying to adapt the EU's integration model to the changing parameters of the global economy. The mutual intertwining of the main directions of the EU's activities is clearly visible, which also applies to relatively new aspects of the union's positioning in the external arena (geo-economic anti-crisis policy, financial and monetary policies), which can potentially lead to new contradictions and limitations in the course pursued, taking into account the specifics of the integration structure.
Natural Perception Hypothesis: How Natural Selection Shapes Species-Specific Sensory Experiences and Influences Biodiversity
Authors: Shmuel Raz , David Breitkopf
Published: October 2024

The Natural Perception Hypothesis posits that sensory perceptions of time, space, and stimuli are not universally uniform but are finely tuned by each species' specific evolutionary adaptations. This paper explores how natural selection acts on sensory systems, tailoring perceptions to optimize survival and reproductive success within specific ecological niches. By examining variability in time perception (e.g., critical flicker fusion frequency), auditory perception (e.g., frequency range sensitivity), and visual perception (e.g., color vision and light sensitivity) across diverse taxa, we demonstrate that perceptual adaptations result in unique perceptual worlds. Critically, these perceptual shifts do not merely alter specific sensory inputs but effectively change how the entire environment is experienced by the organism. For example, changes in temporal processing, such as variations in Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency (CFFF), allow organisms to perceive motion differently, fundamentally transforming their interaction with all environmental stimuli. We illustrate how such comprehensive changes in perception have facilitated adaptive radiation and non-linear evolutionary dynamics, using examples like the diversification of cichlid fish through visual adaptations and the adaptive radiation of Anolis lizards influenced by visual signaling. The hypothesis provides a potential explanation for rapid diversification events, such as the Cambrian Explosion, by linking the evolution of new sensory systems to bursts of speciation. While acknowledging other contributing factors, the Natural Perception Hypothesis offers a unifying framework that connects sensory ecology, evolutionary biology, and ecology. Understanding that natural selection acts on perception—and that changes in perceptual traits can redefine an organism's entire environmental experience—enhances our comprehension of biodiversity patterns and has practical implications for conservation strategies and ecosystem management. Recognizing species-specific sensory needs can inform efforts to preserve or restore the perceptual environments essential for species survival. Future research directions include empirical studies on perceptual adaptations, mathematical modeling of evolutionary dynamics incorporating sensory variables, and interdisciplinary approaches integrating genetics, neurobiology, ecology, and behavior to further assess the hypothesis's significance in shaping evolutionary processes.

Democracy Amid Pandemic: A Survey Experiment on How Covid‐19 Affectedness Influences Support for Anti‐Liberal Policies
Authors: Werner Annika , Heinisch Reinhard
Published: October 2024

Do people support ostensibly effective policy measures that curtail liberal rights and civil liberties or instead stick to liberal principles when confronted with an unprecedented crisis? This article examines the relationship between individuals’ perceptions of the Covid-19 pandemic and their attitudes toward democracy as they consider effective countermeasures. It asks (a) whether individuals’ sense of being affected by the pandemic shapes their attitudes toward democratic policymaking and (b) whether this relationship is moderated by trust and authoritarianism. The analysis builds on a customized survey in Austria that includes a conjoint experiment to test the acceptability of various illiberal policies. It shows that while feeling affected by Covid-19 does not have the hypothesized effect, there are strong interactions with respondents’ political attitudes. Citizens’ willingness to sacrifice democracy for more effective policies depends both on whether they perceive the pandemic as a personal problem and on their attitudes toward government and democracy.
Do Affective Polarization and Populism Affect the Support for Holding Referendums?
Authors: Fölsch Marco
Published: October 2024

What populism and polarization have in common is that their relationship with democracy is an ambiguous one. Studies have found that certain degrees of polarization can be helpful for citizens to make up their minds about their choices and because of that encourage them to democratic participation. Similarly, populism can help increase participation by, for example, presenting policies in a simpler language. Citizens with less political interest and political knowledge might be incited to participate in elections and democratic politics in general. However, high levels of polarization lead to the irreconcilability of factions and thereby to gridlock. Democracy can be regarded as incapable of solving citizens’ problems. Likewise, populism can be destructive to democracy when occurring in certain forms and degrees. While populism is not per se antidemocratic, populist parties and leaders, when in power, repeatedly challenge democratic elements. To disentangle how polarization and populism affect democracy, I focus on certain specifics of these three concepts (democracy, populism, and polarization). Namely, I analyze how affective polarization and individual-level populism affect the support for the direct democratic instrument of holding referendums. Drawing on survey data from Austria and Germany, I find that being affectively polarized has a positive effect on the support for holding referendums. However, this effect is moderated by citizens’ individual-level populism. Thus, this study provides insights into citizens’ preferences for democratic decision-making, dependent on their levels of affective polarization and populism.

Published: October 2024

In this study, we examine how a project owner’s colocation with a crisis influences the chances of their project securing requisite funding. Our study draws upon and extends several streams of work, particularly the importance of owners’ location and the role of crisis in online prosocial behavior, namely online donations. Further, we project and empirically test an important theoretical tension. On the one hand, the altruism effect predicts that beneficiaries colocated with a crisis will likely attract more donations. On the other hand, the bystander effect indicates that donors may perceive lower importance of their contribution as the responsibility of aiding the affected gets distributed. Thus, the effect of crisis colocation on the beneficiary’s project is equivocal, requiring empirical assessment. We address this tension empirically using the occurrence of a hurricane as the external crisis coupled with coarsened exact matching. Drawing on a donation platform dataset that facilitates schools in the US to seek funds, we find empirical support for the bystander effect. Additionally, we find that the baseline effect is contingent on the racial makeup of the beneficiary’s location and the extent to which a crisis occurs abruptly. Our study has implications for the theory and practice of managing online prosocial behavior.

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across diverse sectors, particularly in the workplace, has yielded efficiency gains and enhanced decision-making capabilities. However, the pervasive adoption of AI has raised significant concerns regarding the privacy of employees. This systematic literature review seeks to comprehensively explore the implications of AI on employee privacy. The study addresses three key dimensions: (1) evaluating the extent to which AI technologies compromise or safeguard employee privacy; (2) elucidating the costs and benefits of AI adoption in organizations to strike a balance with employee privacy considerations; and (3) discussing the varying impact of advancing AI algorithms in the workplace on employee privacy. Drawing upon the privacy calculus framework, the paper underscores the trade-offs organizations make in managing employees' privacy in the context of AI integration. The discussion is grounded in an analysis of advancing AI algorithms and their dynamic influence on the delicate balance between organizational efficiency and the protection of employee privacy. By addressing the complexities inherent in this intersection, the research serves as a valuable resource for guiding further inquiry into the evolving relationship between advancing AI technologies and preserving employee privacy.
Construction of mathematical models of the surface cross-waves excitation in fluids in "singing glasses" when the glasses emit sound waves

Published: October 2024

The appearance and structure of cross-shaped waves on the free surface of the liquid contained in the ‘singing glass’ is explained. It was found that the main mode of vibration of the glass is a forced wave, with four nodes evenly spaced along the cylindrical glass wall. When such a singing glass is partially filled with a liquid (which changes the frequency of sound), one can observe another amazing feature: a complex pattern of waves on the free surface of the liquid. With sufficient illumination, one can observe waves directly caused by the vibration of the wall in the four-node mode moving in the circumferential direction at the same speed as the moving finger. However, this picture is dominated by so-called ‘cross waves’ or ‘edge waves’, the crests of which are perpendicular to the vibrating glass wall. Although cross-shaped waves were described by Faraday (1831), until now there was no theoretical justification for the possibility of their excitation in a ‘singing glass’. This paper fills this gap: the appearance of cross waves in a ‘singing glass’ has been mathematically described as resonant oscillations. Non-linear parametric equations describing them were obtained for cross-shaped waves. Two mathematical models were built. The first theoretical model describes the appearance of cross-shaped waves, where only one eigenmode is present on the free surface of the liquid, and the second model applies to the situation where at least two or three eigenmodes are present. The oscillations of the free surface in approximations with three eigenmodes reflect the main features of the wave patterns observed experimentally in the ‘singing glass’.

The procedure for automated accounting of publications based on the use of Rest API of the ORCID database is proposed. The relevance of publication accounting is described. The importance of using various technologies for creating bibliographic data repositories is substantiated. The possibility of using API technology in the most famous publication databases such as Web of science, SCOPUS, Crossref, Google Scholar, and ORCID was analyzed. The possibility of using the ORCID database is substantiated. The scheme for downloading publications from the ORCID database by specified registration numbers based on services implemented in the Python and MatLab programming languages is given. The received data in JSON or XML is subject to further parsing. MatLab functions for obtaining a structure from XML (JSON) data formats are provided.In addition, the algorithm for finding duplicate publications during their accounting is considered. Approaches to avoid duplication of publications in databases based on the application of the Levenstein algorithm for similarity assessment are formulated. It is proposed to transliterate the Cyrillic alphabet into the Latin alphabet to ensure clarity and correct comparison of textual data. A MySql database was developed to collect and update data on publishing activity. The title of the publication table of the database is supplemented with a special attribute, which stores the results of the conversion of Cyrillic names into corresponding Latin names. It is recommended to use indexing of database table fields (INDEX) by various attributes, which allowed to significantly increase the efficiency of searching, processing and comparing data. It is proposed to use the Soundex() function as a MySQL DBMS tool to determine the level of consonance of publication topics by additional parameters. The practical implementation of the algorithm for finding duplicate publications and their numbering confirmed the constructiveness of the proposed approach which was confirmed when filling the database. This article is of interest to software developers.

In the field of web development, there has been an increased necessity for tools to protect against SQL injections, which can have catastrophic consequences for databases. This article introduces the concept of BlockchainSQLSecure, a unique method that leverages the capabilities of blockchain technologies to establish an additional layer of security in Django applications. The central idea revolves around creating a blockchain ledger for each SQL query made to the database, ensuring data immutability and traceability. This level of transparency actively counteracts the possibility of unauthorized modifications or injection attempts, as any interference becomes immediately apparent. In the context of this article, mechanisms for validating SQL queries through smart contracts on the blockchain have been explored, which enable the automatic rejection of queries containing potential injections. Additionally, methods of decentralized log storage have been examined, providing for the distribution of information among network participants, thereby rendering the system resilient to attacks and attempts of external interference. Furthermore, BlockchainSQLSecure can be implemented as a plugin for Django, facilitating its integration into existing projects. In a broader sense, the presented concept demonstrates how the combination of traditional protection methods and modern blockchain technologies can offer a new level of security for web applications.

In this paper we consider data obtained from a mixture of M different sub-populations (mixture components). Dependencies between the observed variables are described by nonlinear regression models with unknown regression parameters and error terms distributions different for different components. The mixing probabilities (concentrations of the components in the mixture) vary from observation to observation. Estimators for quantiles of error terms distributions are considered based on weighted empirical distribution functions of the regression models residuals. Consistency of these estimators is demonstrated. The results can be applied to the construction of quantile vs. quantile plots for visual comparison and analysis of error terms distributions.

Published: October 2024

Objective. Substantiation of mediation as a popular and effective technology for resolving interpersonal and intra-family disputes. Demonstration of the results of the mediation service functioning in the field of youth policy in Saint Petersburg.
Background. Mediation as one of the ways to resolve conflicts in the modern context was formed relatively recently, in the middle of the last century. At the same time, since 2019 in the Russian Federation the mediation procedure becomes an independent socially oriented technology of working with the population. Currently, the domestic experience of using this technology in the public sector requires an independent analysis, the first step of which is an analysis of the activities of the first budget mediation service in Russia.
Methodology. Systemic and subjective approaches, a method of qualitative analysis.
Conclusions. To increase the effectiveness of mediation, we should strive to increase the average number of meetings for each case, take care of the prevention of professional burnout of mediators and expand public awareness of the specifics of this technology in order to reduce the number of inappropriate appeals.
Effect of biomechanical load factors on the stress-strain state of teeth and underlying bone tissue
Authors: Olesova Emilia A. , Ilyin Alexander A. , Em Alexandra V. , Grishkov Maxim S. , Martynov Dmitriy V.
Published: October 2024

Background: The biomechanical conditions under which teeth, implants, and bone tissue function clearly determine their resistance to overloading and subsequent destruction. However, mathematical modeling has not previously been used to compare functional stress in teeth across a wide range of sensitive biomechanical load conditions.
Aim: To compare the stress-strain state parameters of tooth and socket tissues under various biomechanical load conditions.
Materials and methods: A mathematical model was used to assess the stress-strain state parameters of dental tissue and sockets under vertical and oblique load (150N) with various modeling settings, compared to reference model parameters. The following parameters were assessed: enamel attrition, bone density reduction, bone resorption by 30% and 50%, supra-occlusion, tooth cavity, composite restoration, and ceramic inlay.
Results: Enamel attrition significantly increases stress under vertical and oblique loads: 1.9 and 1.6 times for enamel, and 1.5 and 1.2 times for dentin, respectively. Tooth cavities increase stress by 1.2 and 1.8 times (enamel; vertical and oblique loads, respectively), and 1.3 times (dentin; vertical load). Increased functional load causes a proportional increase in stress in hard tooth tissues and adjacent bone tissues. Supra-occlusion causes a sharp increase in stress in the enamel, with a point stress concentration. When a tooth cavity is filled with a composite or ceramic material, the stress-strain state parameters are similar to those in intact teeth (however, the enamel still experiences a 1.5-fold increase in stress under vertical pressure).
Conclusion: 3D mathematical modeling revealed a significant difference in maximum stress in tooth and socket tissues compared to normal biomechanical conditions, as well as when comparing various sensitive load conditions. Stress in tooth and bone tissues increased in all cases of abnormal biomechanical conditions, especially when oblique load was applied.
Utility-Driven Approaches to Protecting Sensitive Data
Authors:   , Bale Cameron D. , Schneider Matthew
Published: October 2024

Organizations face increasing pressure to protect the privacy of sensitive data. Although privacy-driven approaches to data protection (e.g. k-anonymity and differential privacy) reduce the chances that sensitive information from data subjects will be leaked, these methods often significantly reduce the utility of data. This dissertation presents work on "utility-driven" approaches to data protection that enable organizations to better maintain the utility of their data while offering competitive privacy protection against reasonable and interpretable privacy attacks. The first paper describes a Bayesian data synthesizer that reduces the probability of identifying anonymous online users while maintaining the relationships between textual content and structured data covariates. The second paper illustrates a machine learning-based swapping method tailored to maintain the features (e.g., trend and autocorrelation) of time series while protecting time series from reidentification. We demonstrate the challenges in achieving accurate forecasts while maintaining privacy, and show that accurate forecasts themselves can be used to reidentify time series. The third paper proposes an automated data synthesizer that is optimized to achieve predefined privacy and utility metrics, which significantly reduces the barriers to implementation for organizations. The results show that this synthesizer produces legally anonymous synthetic data that is competitive with commercial offerings based on utility and privacy metrics. Together, these papers provide empirical evidence on the strengths and weaknesses of utility-driven privacy methods and motivate further study of modern privacy risks and accessible implementations of privacy-preserving methodologies.
Inequality persists: Trajectories of social exclusion from middle age to old age
Authors:   center for social welfare research yonsei university, Choi Seonhee , Jung Jae Yeon , Lee Kyongjae
Published: October 2024

This study investigates social exclusion trajectories over time, utilizing data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging administered by the Korea Employment Information Service. Focused on individuals aged 45 to 52 at the study's onset, predominantly representing the Korean baby boom generation, our analysis encompasses 1,549 cases examining changes in social exclusion over a 14-year period from 2006(wave 1) to 2020(wave 8). Employing a group-based multi-trajectory model, we identified four distinct groups: the low exclusion persistence group, the high economic/housing exclusion persistence group, the high health/employment exclusion persistence group, and the high exclusion persistence group. Across these trajectory groups, a persistent trend of social exclusion from midlife into old age is evident. Gender, marital status, and education were identified as critical factors differentiating these groups. The findings underscore the exacerbation of inequities as individuals age, highlighting the necessity of a life-course perspective in addressing social inequality.
Twyla Tharp’s Making Television Dance (1977) and the Technologized Dancing Body
Authors: Krayenbuhl Pamela
Published: October 2024

This article looks at the technologized dancing body on television, particularly in videodance. It asks and begins to answer the question: What were emerging technologies of the late twentieth century able to do with, to, or for the dancing body that was not possible previously, and which built the foundation for the ways today’s digital technologies interface with the dancing body? In beginning to answer this question, the article closely examines Twyla Tharp's Making Television Dance (1977) and argues that Tharp's piece condenses and summarizes the experiments of videodance during the late twentieth century, highlighting its foundational shift from using technology to exclusively do things to the body or extract things from it, to instead using the body to interface with and demonstrate the capabilities of a new technology—​triggering the machine’s capabilities using the body’s cues. In other words, videodance reframes the body as a (technologized) tool. Ultimately, this article reveals that late 1960s and 1970s videodance was a transitional interstice between two more enduring forms of screendance: celluloid dance film and digital dance data.

Las implicaciones del derecho a la desconexión digital en la prestación de trabajo y en el teletrabajo regular
Authors:   Universidad de La Rioja, Arruga Segura María Concepción
Published: October 2024

En una sociedad hiperconectada, la condición humana del trabajador requiere que se garanticen unos tiempos de descanso de calidad. La tecnología debe avanzar dentro de un permanente proceso de humanización para reorientar y encauzar los distintos progresos que ofrece la trasformación digital de las relaciones laborales con el propósito de preservar el difícil equilibrio entre los derechos del trabajador y del empresario. Las escasas certezas que aporta el exiguo marco jurídico español sobre desconexión presagian un incremento de la conflictividad laboral que habrá de ser resuelto en último extremo por la jurisdicción social. Por su parte, el Acuerdo Marco Europeo sobre la Digitalización en el trabajo, apunta hacia un impulso de la regulación del proceso de desconexión digital y los distintos procedimientos especiales a través de la negociación colectiva. Así, el texto final de la directiva europea sobre desconexión estará condicionado por el grado de penetración del derecho en los convenios colectivos.

La reforma de la negociación colectiva en el Real Decreto Ley 32/2021, de 28 de diciembre
Authors:   Universidade da Coruña, Lousada Arochena Fernando
Published: October 2024

La Reforma laboral de 2021 ha modificado el sistema de negociación colectiva laboral en apenas dos aspectos, pero dos aspectos muy relevantes dentro de la arquitectura del sistema: la reducción del ámbito de la prioridad aplicativa de los convenios de empresa respecto del convenio sectorial para evitar la degradación de las condiciones salariales en convenios de empresa; y la reforma de la ultraactividad indefinida para potenciar los mecanismos de solución autónoma y la vuelta al régimen de retroactividad indefinida. Más allá de esa lectura literal, una interpretación más completa atendiendo a los antecedentes de las normas, sus finalidades, su concordancia con otras de su mismo grupo normativo, y la realidad del tiempo en que han de ser aplicada, permite desentrañar un elemento menos evidente pero trascendental para el entendimiento de la reforma de la negociación colectiva: la potenciación de la autonomía colectiva y un menor dirigismo.

Unas notas al incipiente cuerpo de doctrina judicial sobre el derecho a la desconexión digital en el trabajo
Authors:   Universitat Jaume I, Trujillo Pons Francisco
Published: October 2024

Desde finales de 2018, España regula el derecho a la desconexión digital en el ámbito laboral. El incremento exponencial en el intercambio de información laboral a través de la utilización de medios o herramientas digitales, como teléfonos móviles, correos electrónicos, tabletas, videoconferencias o aplicaciones de mensajería instantánea, es cada vez mayor, pues facilitan la realización del trabajo desde cualquier sitio en cualquier momento. Más, por la preponderancia dada al trabajo a distancia, inevitable por la situación del COVID-19. En este contexto, se estudia en el artículo que aquí se presenta el cuerpo de la doctrina judicial atinente a este derecho laboral; escaso en su regulación normativa y que se va aclarando e interpretando a medida que surgen conflictos laborales derivados de la conectividad permanente de las personas trabajadoras.

La adaptación de la jornada con fines de conciliación en el RDL 5/2023: ¿El progreso de un derecho aún incompleto?
Authors:   Universidad de Oviedo, Martínez Moreno Carolina
Published: October 2024

La soberanía sobre el propio tiempo es condición para una verdadera autonomía personal, y puede llegar a comprometer la libertad misma del individuo. El tiempo de trabajo como tiempo de la vida requiere de un reparto equilibrado entre el que se dedica a cada ocupación. Mucho más cuando se ha de asumir la responsabilidad sobre el cuidado de personas en el entorno familiar. El derecho del trabajo lleva ocupándose de este desafío desde sus orígenes. Pero las exigencias de disponibilidad y flexibilidad por parte de las empresas no han hecho más que dificultar este logro. El reciente RDL 5/2023 vuelve a hacer un intento de mejorar el tratamiento del derecho a la adaptación de la jornada y de la prestación reconocido en el art.34.8 ET.
La trascendencia de la regulación de la conciliación de la vida laboral y familiar tras el RDL 5/2023, de 28 de junio de 2023: Cuestiones en torno al teletrabajo y la desconexión digital para una buena calidad de vida de los trabajadores

Para lograr una buena dinámica en la regulación de la conciliación de la vida profesional y familiar resulta vital el papel a desempeñar por parte de empresas y administraciones públicas, siendo estos los principales agentes partícipes y con mayor responsabilidad de cara al adecuado equilibrio entre ambos roles de los trabajadores, tengan o no cargas familiares. El legislador ha tratado de dar respuesta a las necesidades detectadas mediante el RDL 5/2023, de 28 de junio, si bien en este tablero entran en juego más elementos, como el teletrabajo y el derecho a la desconexión digital, máxime dado el avance vertiginoso de las nuevas tecnologías, siendo así imprescindible lograr la adecuada ponderación o equilibrio de todos ellos en pro de una mejor calidad de vida.
Role of platelet-rich plasma as intraoperative adjunctive therapy in the surgical management of achilles tendinopathy: A comparative analysis review
Authors: Lakhani Amit , Pal Satinder
Published: October 2024

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality for Achilles tendinopathy, leveraging its growth factors to accelerate healing. PRP promotes tissue regeneration, inflammation control, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis, making it a favorable option in both conservative and surgical management of the condition. Comparative studies show that patients treated with PRP report faster recovery, improved pain reduction, and enhanced functional outcomes compared to those who undergo standard treatments alone, such as physical therapy or corticosteroid injections. Furthermore, when used as an adjunct in surgical management, PRP enhances tendon healing by promoting fibroblast activity and reducing the risk of postoperative complications like re-tear and inflammation. Although the clinical outcomes vary across studies, a growing body of evidence suggests PRP's beneficial role in reducing recovery time and improving long-term functional outcomes in Achilles tendinopathy, both non-surgically and as an intraoperative adjunct.

This article provides a balanced view of PRP's utility in Achilles tendinopathy treatment strategies.

Nutrient foramina are entry points of nutrient arteries in bones and form important landmarks on human bones. Understanding the nutrient foramina is critical to surgical practice. An insult to the nutrient foramina leads to devascularization of bone. The number, position, patency and direction of nutrient foramina are important in various surgical procedures and vary with race, ethnicity and geographical areas highlighting the importance of this study. The objective of the present study was to describe the number, position, direction, size, and foraminal index of nutrient foramen in the human adult femurs.

: The present study was undertaken on 100 adult femur bones of both sexes and sides in government medical college in north India. Bones were studied with number, size, position, direction and patency of nutrient foramina.

: 56% of femurs were right-sided and single foramina was seen in 75% of bones. In two-thirds of bones, nutrient foramina were found in upper two-thirds of femur and most common site of nutrient foramina was medial lip of Linea aspera. The direction of nutrient foramina was away from growing end in 95% of bones and in same percentage of bones nutrient foramina were found patent. The mean foraminal index for the femur bones was 40.8 with SD of 12.62 and mean length was 38.9cm with SD of 2.5cm.

: The present study provides information on the number, size, position, and direction of nutrient foramina of the femur which is very in important in surgical approaches on femur.
Morphological variations of the superficial brachial artery in cadaveric study: An embryological and clinical correlation

Published: October 2024

The axillary artery (AA) branches into six vessels within the axilla. The brachial artery then continues at the teres major muscle's lower border. The brachial artery (BA) splits into the ulnar and radial terminal branches at the level of the radius neck or the cubital fossa. The underlying BA is an uncommon variant of the axillary artery that can have an impact on neural structures. This study aims to analyze the morphological relationship between the superficial brachial artery (SBA) originating from the AA and the segmental variation of the AA.

: The research done in the Anatomy Department of Zydus Medical College and Hospital in Dahod involved the examination of the 16 upper limb of 8 cadavers. These cadavers were obtained over the course of one year and were used for undergraduate study in the First MBBS program. The dissection was done in the axilla and the arm. During the routine anatomy, dissection was observed a variant of the SBA and its termination.

For this investigation, six Arm specimens were dissected. We have noticed a superficial brachial artery with an axillary origin in 2 cadavers. In the left arm, there was only one case (1.0%) of the SBA, which assets the arm muscles. There was only one case (1.0%) of SBA in the right arm merging with the deep brachial artery (DBA) in the Cubital fossa and extending as the radial artery (RA) of the forearm.

Variations of SBA have significance essential during surgical procedures. Morphological variations, as well as topographical variations, are significant factors in surgery of “upper limb as well asregular clinical practice. The use of surgical techniques is crucial in order to prevent injury to arteries, particularly in the upper limb as well as axilla regions.
Examination of vitamin D status in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder
Authors: Dahal Tshetiz , Abraham Jeby

It is uncertain how vitamin D affects obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Research indicates that neuropsychiatric disorders may be linked to vitamin D insufficiency. This study aims to look into vitamin D levels in people with OCD diagnoses. Furthermore, the relationship between the severity of OCD symptoms and serum vitamin D levels is examined.

The study included 170 healthy volunteers and approximately 174 newly diagnosed OCD patients. To evaluate the intensity of OCD symptoms, the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) was employed. The two groups' serum vitamin D levels were contrasted.

It was discovered that the OCD group's serum vitamin D levels were noticeably lower than those of the control group. There was no association found between the length of disease in OCD patients and blood vitamin D levels, but there was a negative correlation between the serum vitamin D levels and the overall scale scores, obsession, and compulsion as measured by YBOCS.

To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first studies looking at vitamin D levels in adult OCD patients who have just received a diagnosis and do not have any concomitant conditions. Even though our results imply that vitamin D might be involved in the pathogenesis of OCD, more research is required to corroborate our findings.
