The effect of auditory-visual stimuli in the Lithuanian non-word repetition test
Authors: Krivickaitė-Leišienė Eglė
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study is to compare research data collected using two different non-word repetition test procedures (live stimuli vs. audio-recorded stimuli). The study sample consists of 100 typically developing children (aged 4;00–5;11) and 50 adults (mean age ~ 30).The comparison of the different modes of the non-word repetition test suggests that the presentation of the stimuli (live vs. audio-recorded) influences the accuracy of the test results. The study found that visual stimuli significantly improved non-word repetition accuracy for both children and adults compared to audio-recorded stimuli (F(1.98) = 8.250, p < 0.005) and (F(1.43) = 8.927, p < 0.005), respectively. It was expected that visual stimuli would have a greater effect on adults than on children, but this hypothesis was not supported by the results.
Implications of leaf micro-morphological and structural parameters in the regulation of transpiration in durum wheat cultivars under semi-arid conditions of Algeria
Authors: Tahir F.
Published: April 2024

Abstract. In Algeria, drought is a major abiotic constraint responsible for the low productivity of durum wheat. This study aims to identify some mechanisms involved in water deficit adaptation and tolerance. The tolerance mechanism is conditioned by different characteristics governing the regulation of transpiration in its two forms from the leaf. This study analyzed 23 durum wheat genotypes under two water regimes: irrigated and rain-fed.The results of this study showed that the variation of the transpiration level is strongly conditioned by the leaf micro morphological and structural parameters represented by a reduction in woody vessels diameter, the compaction of the mesophyll. Indeed, the reduction of transpiration is due to the decrease in stomata density on the lower side of the leaf. This reduction resulted in a reduction of coating cells size which induces the approach of the stomata fills.

Authors: Dimova D.
Published: April 2024

Abstract. The Yasmina variety is a new, highly productive spring fodder barley. It was created at the Institute of Agriculture in Karnobat by means of a combinatorial selection method. The biological and economic traits of the variety were tested in the Institute’s competitive variety trials and the IASAS system during 2019-2020. The aim of this study was to present the biological and economic traits of the new recognized spring six-row barley variety Yasmina. In the ecological network regions, it demonstrated high productivity. The mean yield from the new variety obtained in 4 Bulgarian regions was proven higher than the one from the standard variety Venera by 22.0%. During the testing period, the variety realized a yield of up to 6500 kg/a. With high protein content of 13.51%, it is ideally suited for fodder.The variety has good lodging resistance. Yasmina was recognized as an original cultivar with Order No RD-12-4/10 Mar 2021 by the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Forestry and was approved for entry in List A of the Official Variety List of the Republic of Bulgaria.

Published: April 2024

The ileocecal valve is a part of the gastrointestinal tract that separates two intestinal segments differing in both anatomy and function. Dysfunction or surgical removal of the valve usually results in the development of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome. The available literature lacks a broader discussion and ultrasound presentation of the ileocecal valve. The aim of this study is to present our experience in transabdominal ultrasound of the ileocecal valve in comparison with colonoscopic and computed tomography colonography data. In this part of the manuscript, we discuss the anatomical structures in the right iliac fossa that make up the ileocecal segment of the intestine. The ileocecal valve, which comes in two morphological forms: labial and papillary, is its central part. As shown in computed tomography colonography, the first type is more common, accounting for 76%, the second type accounts for 21%, whereas ileocecal valve lipomatosis is found in 3% of cases. Post-mortem studies have shown a significantly higher incidence of valve lipomatosis, which was found in up to 4 out of 5 cases. Our observations correspond with these findings. Ileocecal valve lipomatosis presents on ultrasound as a hyperechoic, well-circumscribed lesion, with no evident vascularity on color Doppler. This image should be differentiated especially from a lipoma, a relatively common large intestinal pathology. The paper presents two methods of preparation for an ultrasound scan (i.e. only on an empty stomach or after cleansing the intestine) and determines the optimal imaging methods for the ileocecal valve using transabdominal ultrasound. At the end of the ileocecal examination, it should be remembered to assess the lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa.

Aim: To evaluate the pattern of renal artery Doppler indices in patients with sickle cell disease who do not have laboratory evidence of renal impairment. Material and methods: A case-control study was carried out after enrolling 50 patients with sickle cell disease (HbSS phenotype) (sickle cell disease group) and 50 control subjects (control group). All the participants underwent ultrasound and color Doppler examination, and the pulsatility index and resistive index values of the main renal artery, segmental artery, and interlobar artery in both kidneys were recorded and compared. Results: The Doppler measurements of the main renal artery, segmental artery, and interlobar artery were compared between the control and sickle cell disease groups. It was found that both pulsatility index and resistive index were significantly higher in the sickle cell disease group, as compared to the control group, for the main renal artery, segmental artery, and interlobar artery (p <0.0001, p <0.0001, and p <0.0001, respectively). The optimal cut-off points for mean pulsatility index and resistive index, as measured by the Youden index, were found to be >1.08 (72% sensitivity and 88% specificity) and >0.635 (66% sensitivity and 98% specificity), respectively. Conclusions: Resistive index and pulsatility index values in renal Doppler sonography can serve as early radiologic predictors of renal vascular changes in sickle cell disease patients who do not have laboratory evidence of renal impairment.

HYDROMAGNETIC MIXED CONVECTION FLOW OF HEAT CONSUMING DISSIPATIVE CASSON REACTING AND RADIATING FLUID WITH SUCTION/BLOWING PAST A PERMEABLE OSCILLATING PLATE IN A POROUS MEDIUM: FEM STUDY
Authors: Reddy B. Prabhakar , Matao M. Paul , Sunzu J. M.
Published: April 2024

This effects of viscous dissipation, angled magnetic field, Joule heating, and buoyancy forces on the conjugate heat and
mass transport mixed convection stream of heat consuming hydro-magnetic Casson fluid from a permeable oscillating
plate in a porous medium with suction/blowing in the existence of chemical reaction and radiation have been studied. The heat and mass transmission aspect are interpreted through the processes of conjugate heat and mass transport. This kind of study has not been analyzed earlier; hence the results of this study are novel. The model elucidatory coupled nonlinear PDEs are incurred and numerically tackled via the intense Galerkin finite element numerical scheme. Computational results showing disposition of the velocity, concentration, and the temperature profiles owing to the emerging parameters variation are displayed via graphic representations, whereas the skin-friction, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are in tables. The study reveals that an expanding thermal radiation, heat dissipation, and conjugate
heat transfer magnifies the temperature and velocity distributions, but heat consumption has shown contrary impact. An accentuating chemical reaction compresses the concentration and velocity distributions, but conjugate mass
transfer impact witnessed an opposite trend. The rising Casson parameter and magnetic parameter slackens the fluid
velocity, whereas porosity parameter displays the adverse effect. The fluid velocity is lessened by escalating phase angle but it upsurges with inclination angle of magnetic field. Further, it is acclaimed that the activity of suction slenderizes the fluid velocity, concentration, and temperature, while blowing has shown contrary nature. Comparative analysis reveals that our findings are in agreement with the one factual in the literature.
A Moorland dam: remedial grouting works
Authors: Rigby Tom
Published: April 2024

Dam T was constructed around 1880 as a water supply to Greater Manchester and is a category A impounding reservoir, comprising an earth embankment with a central puddle clay core and storage capacity of approximately 934 000 m3. It is one of the earliest dams constructed by Bateman and lies in a cascade of three reservoirs. As part of United Utilities portfolio risk assessment an Internal Erosion Toolbox, flood and slope stability studies were undertaken. These identified the reservoir's primary failure mechanism as internal erosion through the embankment, presenting an unacceptable risk. To confirm the conclusions and target a potential solution a Willowstick survey suggested a compromised central core. This paper summarises the grouting works undertaken to remediate the potential core defect in a constrained and environmentally sensitive site. It highlights the benefits of collaborative working, supported by specialist contractors, the qualified civil engineer and catchment teams, the use of innovative techniques and lessons learnt from previous projects as well as the challenges presented by the proximity of the public and nesting birds. A total of 322 980 litres of grout was carefully injected with the works completed two months ahead of programme and significantly below predicted costs.

In this study, to determine an effective fungal agent against Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann, 1794) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), which causes significant economic losses in forested areas, Picea orientalis (L.) Link in Artvin between 2021-2022. Dendroctonus micans larvae and adults were collected from the trees, and 18 fungi were isolated from larvae and adult insects. Morphological (infection type, colony morphology, spore form) and molecular (ITS1-5.8S ITS2 gene region) characterization determined that the isolates were Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorokin, 1883 (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae), M. robertsii, M. pinghaense and Clonostachys rosea Samuels & Rossman, 1999 (Hypocreales: Bionectriaceae). Isolates M. robertsii (OZM4) and M. pinhaense (OZM9) have been isolated from this pest for the first time. As a result of insecticidal activity tests performed on D. micans larvae and adults of 1x107spore/ml spore suspension, the larvae, M. anisopliae (OZM2), showed a mortality rate of 92% within 7 days and adults mortality was determined 100% at the end of the experiment, and mycosis rates were found to be consistent with mortality rates. These results show that isolates with high virulence are promising in microbial and integrated control applications against important forest pests.
El abordaje de la escritura crítica en los grados de educación media
Authors: Restrepo Bonell Lina Susana
Published: April 2024

La escritura es un elemento que se aborda con marcado temor dentro y fuera de la escuela. La instrucción de organizar las ideas y expresarlas por escrito en las aulas se ha convertido en un constante ejercicio de narración de sucesos, recopilación de información o transcripción de pensamientos ajenos, sin involucrar dinámicas de reflexión por parte de los estudiantes. Por otra parte, la crítica es un concepto que se ha adaptado a diferentes procesos, entre ellos el educativo, debido a los cambios sociales y la necesidad de fomentar la participación ciudadana, pero su aplicación se ha enfocado principalmente en la comprensión, más que en la producción. Concretamente, se ha defendido la importancia de la crítica en el ejercicio de la lectura, pero se ha limitado su implementación en la escritura. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión de investigaciones que analizan diferentes abordajes de la escritura en la escuela, comenzando por las concepciones de los docentes como factor determinante en la promoción o postergación de esta, hasta la importancia de la crítica como herramienta para la expresión y proposición de acciones para el cambio, ello como parte del proceso investigativo de la tesis doctoral. El abordaje de la escritura crítica en el área de Lengua Castellana al interior de las aulas de los grados de Educación Media de cuatro instituciones públicas de Cali: una aproximación desde la Teoría Fundamentada. Como objetivo de la investigación se tiene el desarrollar teoría a partir de un estudio documental y de los datos obtenidos en el aula, por medio de un enfoque hermenéutico propio de un diseño de corte cualitativo. Debido a la naturaleza del artículo, se inicia a través de una discusión de la problemática abordada partiendo de la funcionalidad de la escritura y la manera en que se complementan sus bondades con el ejercicio de la crítica, a través de teóricos que respaldan la propuesta. Como punto final, se analizan los datos expuestos y postulan conclusiones obtenidas como resultado de los ejercicios planteados, citando entre ellos la necesidad de desligar el tradicional uso de la escritura como dispositivo disciplinario y de convertirlo en una herramienta de libertad a través del fomento del pensamiento y la no conformidad, y la notable importancia de la lectura en el ejercicio de escribir.
Effect of Probiotic on Copper Nanoparticle Accumulation in Dreissena polymorpha
Authors: Aydın Ayşe Nur , Serdar Osman
Published: April 2024

Materials with dimensions between 0.1 and 100 nm are called nanoparticle (NP) materials. In recent years, the usage areas and quantities of NP materials have increased in parallel with the development of the industry. The need and usage areas of heavy metals such as Cu have also expanded in NP sizes. All these developments have led to problems on the ecosystem that are becoming more difficult to compensate. In this study, Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) was chosen as a model to investigate the effect of probiotics on CuNP heavy metal accumulation. The model organism was exposed to three different concentrations of CuNP (5, 10, 50 mg/L) with probiotics and directly for 24 and 96 hours. CuNP accumulation amounts in D. polymorpha tissues treated directly and with probiotics were compared. The amount of accumulation in the test organism directly exposed to CuNP was higher compared to the groups administered with probiotics, but a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found only in the treatment group with the highest 24-hour concentration (50 mg/L). As a result, according to the findings obtained from the study, it has been determined that probiotics have positive developmental effects on aquatic organisms, as well as beneficial in the elimination of their accumulation in the organism.
The Role of Television in Shaping Democracy: An Old Dream with a Big Future?

Dominique Wolton (1947) needs no introduction within social sciences and outside the Anglo-Saxon sphere. There are 35 works by the French sociologist spread across 26 countries and 23 languages. Outside the academy, his recognition is equally wide, belonging, for example, to the National Order of the Legion of Honour, the highest French distinction established by Napoleon and limited to only 75 living people. With a PhD in Sociology, he admits that his main objective is to study communication in an interdisciplinary fashion, focusing on the relationship between the individual, technique, culture and society. Among the many books published, the following stand out for discussion: Éloge du Grand Public. Une Théorie Critique de la Television (In Praise of the General Public: A Critical Theory of Television; Wolton, 1990); Penser la Communication (Thinking Communication; Wolton, 1997); Internet et Après? Une Théorie Critique des Nouveaux Médias (Internet and Then? A Critical Theory of New Media; Wolton, 1999); Sauver la Communication (Save the Communication; Wolton, 2005); Informer N’est pas Communiquer (Informing Is Not Communicating; Wolton, 2009); and Communiquer, C’Est Négocier (To Communicate Is to Negotiate; Wolton, 2022).
What Teachers Think about Children's Autonomy at School
Authors: Gavrilenko Polina A.
Published: April 2024

Twenty-one semi-structured interviews with school teachers were conducted in order to study the analysis of their beliefs about student autonomy and pedagogical practices that support its development. As a result, three groups of teachers' beliefs were identified. The typology of beliefs was based on the following criteria: content of beliefs, degree of their stability, practices used to support autonomy, attitudes towards school norms and requirements. The differences in the three groups of beliefs are presented as a continuum of meanings and practices, increasing from the first group to the third group according to all the criteria identified. From the first group to the third, the value of volitional functioning increases, the importance of control in pedagogical practices decreases, and the sphere of support for autonomy within the school but outside the classroom expands.
Role of Social and Self-Regulated Learning in School Contexts
Authors: Akhmedjanova Diana R.
Published: April 2024

Self- and socially regulated learning skills allow students to develop soft skills or competencies to tackle learning tasks.  Self-regulated learning skills help students set learning goals, choose learning strategies, monitor their progress, and control their affective and motivational states when working on learning tasks. Socially regulated learning skills help students to use self-regulated learning practices recognizing the reciprocal influence of other people, technology, and environment, creating opportunities for joint regulation of learning. However, it is still not clear how social regulation of learning relates to self-regulated learning. The purpose of this article is to describe the constructs of self- and socially regulated learning, report on the results of recent research studies of their components, introduce a theoretical model of the self- and socially regulated learning, discuss the results of our studies, and identify the areas for future research. The scientific contribution of this article is an attempt to compare the scholarly evidence and theoretical views of Russian and foreign researchers in order to understand the state of research of self- and socially regulated learning in authentic school contexts.
Contemporary Research on Agency in Education: A Systematization of Key Concepts and Developments
Authors: Sorokin Pavel S. , Redko Timofey D.
Published: April 2024

The task of developing individual "agency" (autonomy, proactivity, initiative, etc.), in education is widely discussed in scientific and practical circles. To systematize multi-disciplinary research elaborations in the field of "agency" as an umbrella concept, an analysis was carried out using keywords in the main scientific database Scopus. The analysis includes both publications that directly use the concept, and works using other close terms (resistance, autonomy, initiative, etc.). In addition, a sample of scientific publications of researchers, most authoritative in the field of practical educational policy was separately considered. The systematization of the key concepts and constructs was based on four main criteria: 1) the distinction between “agentic” action and intention/perspective, 2) the scale of the action, 3) the strategic/non-strategic nature of the intention/perspective, 4) the universal/local applicability of the concept or construct. The analysis showed a dominating focus on the "agentic perspective" in the discovered works, as well as a focus on micro-level and local manifestations and effects of “agentic” behavior or plans. From the point of view of empirical indicators of "agency" and related concepts, necessity for operationalization of the action-based and "strategic" manifestations of agency are revealed, which raises the question of the fundamental adequacy of the current approaches to measuring a human being dominating in contemporary mainstream of social sciences.

Valutazione delle arterie coronariche con ecocardiografia transtoracica
Authors: Piovesana Piergiuseppe
Published: April 2024

In questo articolo vengono descritte le varie metodiche ecocardiografiche che consentono di diagnosticare con buona accuratezza le anomalie congenite delle aa. Coronariche (AOAC) individuando i soggetti a rischio che verranno poi indirizzati verso altre tecniche di imaging, in particolare la TC coronarica, per una ottimale definizione dell’anomalia anatomica. Le AOAC rappresentano una malformazione congenita abbastanza rara. Generalmente i difetti congeniti di origine delle aa. Coronariche dal Seno di Valsalva opposto hanno una prognosi favorevole, tuttavia esistono alcune forme che per la particolare condizione anatomica legata a un decorso all’interno della parete aortica o nello spazio ristretto tra aorta e polmonare possono avere una significativa potenzialità di generare eventi sfavorevoli legati alla compressione del vaso in condizioni di sforzo fisico elevato. Le casistiche infatti riportano una elevata prevalenza di AOAC nell’ambito delle popolazioni di atleti morti improvvisamente. È importante per la medicina preventiva identificare i soggetti con AOAC per escluderli dalla attività agonistica ed indirizzarli a una più conveniente riabilitazione fisica.
Rivisitazione elettrocardiologica dei disturbi della conduzione intraventricolare
Authors: Costantini Marcello , Sciarra Luigi , Costantini Lorenzo , Previtali Mario , Carbone Vincenzo , Catanzariti Domenico , Notaristefano Francesco , Bagliani Giuseppe
Published: April 2024

L’attivazione elettrica dei ventricoli si avvale di un sistema di conduzione specializzato comprendente la branca destra, la branca sinistra e i fascicoli divisionali di quest’ultima. Processi patologici o condizioni di diverso genere, a base genetica o del tutto acquisiti, possono compromettere la conduzione lungo uno o più di tali fascicoli, dando luogo a blocchi di branca ed emiblocchi. Un blocco di branca (o un emiblocco) può essere: a) stabile, quando si mantiene immodificato nel tempo; b) transitorio, quando è condizionato da eventi acuti (ischemia acuta, effetto di farmaci che peggiorano la conduzione, disturbi elettrolitici, ecc.), la cui regressione porta alla scomparsa del blocco; c) intermittente, quando compare e scompare in modo improvviso, da un battito all’altro, per lo più in seguito a variazioni del ciclo cardiaco. Un blocco di branca intermittente può comparire quando la frequenza cardiaca sale al di sopra di un valore critico (blocco di branca intermittente tachicardia-dipendente o in fase 3) o scende al di sotto di un valore critico (blocco di branca intermittente bradicardia-dipendente o in fase 4). Un blocco di branca (o un emiblocco) può essere completo o incompleto: in quest’ultimo caso la conduzione lungo il fascicolo non è del tutto interrotta, ma solo più o meno rallentata. La coesistenza di emiblocco anteriore sinistro e di blocco di branca destra, può oscurare in tutto o in parte le caratteristiche elettrocardiografiche di quest’ultimo. Il blocco di branca sinistra comporta netta dissincronia meccanica, che può arrivare a compromettere la funzione ventricolare sinistra e a peggiorare la prognosi. La concordanza tra QRS e onda T nelle derivazioni precordiali laterali, in presenza di blocco di branca sinistra, è frequente nel caso il disturbo di conduzione sia idiopatico, e comunque si correla con una minore gravità della condizione cardiaca sottostante.

The Conditionality of Political Short‐Termism: A Review of Empirical and Experimental Studies
Authors: Ogami Masakazu
Published: April 2024

Political short-termism prioritizes short-term net policy benefits over long-term benefits and thus can hinder policy investments that impose short-term costs to society to address long-term policy challenges. This literature review explores when political short-termism can be driven and mitigated in a democratic system by reviewing empirical and experimental studies and identifying the various factors that can influence policy investments: elections, economic conditions, power-sharing arrangements, partisanship, the presence of compensation schemes, and media coverage among politicians; discounts of future policy benefits, policy trade-offs, political ideology, and socioeconomic and demographic factors among voters; and compliance costs, power-sharing arrangements, compensations, and long-term political signaling from governments among special interest groups. Finally, I discuss the findings and provide suggestions for future research.
Considering Future Generations in Democratic Governance

Published: April 2024

Intergenerational issues encompass various future concerns ranging from climate change to government debt, which can potentially harm the well-being of future generations. Scholars have discussed intergenerational equity and justice, and efforts to incorporate future generations in decision-making in society have been growing, including establishing future-regarding institutions. Nevertheless, democratic governance often prioritizes short-term gains over long-term benefits. This thematic issue aims to present the current state of progress and academic discourse on incorporating considerations for future generations into current decision-making. The issue comprises 10 articles with a varied focus, including on young people and those who are yet to be born. Challenges such as misrepresentation and negligence in democratic deliberation are explored, along with legal obligations grounded in human rights. Proxies for future generations in political decision-making are examined, revealing limitations in enforcing their interests. The impact of political short-termism on government responses is discussed, and the role of narratives in moral philosophy is explored. Diverse cases, including climate litigation in the German Federal Constitutional Court, highlight the complexity of addressing future generations. These articles explore and identify challenges in incorporating consideration of future generations, which could be used to catalyze studies on actions that will be taken in the future.
The Continuous Reproduction of Contradictions in the Urban Development of New Belgrade’s Central Area
Authors: Kucina Ivan
Published: April 2024

The initial source for the continuous reproduction of contradictions in the central area of New Belgrade’s urban development was the mismatch between the dynamics of political and economic reforms and the static urban planning system that has been banded to the most progressive but rigid functionalist ideals that could not adapt to the emergent pace of these reforms. Consequently, during the socialist and post-socialist periods, the central area of New Belgrade grew irregularly by developing contradictory fragments rather than totality. The inconsistency of the socialist authorities in completing the capital city according to the urban plan despite political imperatives has continued with the post-socialist governing tendencies towards irregularity, privatization, and commercialization of urban development. A series of individual, short-term, and profitable urban projects that have opposed the socialist urban structure, have reused inherited socialist urban infrastructure as a fertile ground for their growth. More than presenting a new insight into the history of urban development of the central area of New Belgrade, this study uses it as the prime case to disclose the unsustainability of the urban planning system during the socialist past and post-socialist present. An alternative urban planning system would embrace the challenges of the continuous reproduction of contradiction by affirming an institutional network of platforms for collaboration among citizens, urban planners, authorities, and developers.

Rapid technological advancements, especially in artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, and large language models, have significantly transformed information systems and business processes. These shifts are characterized by the automation of tasks, reshaping traditional human-centric operations, and consequently redefining human roles and experiences. This Panel Report builds on a discussion held at the annual Routines.Research.Community workshop in March 2023 in Berlin, Germany. It integrates diverse disciplinary perspectives to offer a comprehensive understanding of process automation. The panel draws on insights into automation tools such as robotic process automation and large language models, human-automation interaction research, and the study of routine dynamics, all vital for grasping the immediate human responses and longitudinal organizational adaptations due to automation. The report highlights the need for future research to focus on user-centric design for task automation, understanding individual differences in automation effects, exploring long-term psycho­logical impact, and developing adaptive tools and training strategies. It also calls for examining AI integration in routine tasks and RPA tools, its influence on organizational routines and culture, and the dynamics in teams with AI-based members to better understand and enhance human-automation collaboration. This interdisciplinary approach is essential for navigating the challenges and opportunities of the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Экзосомы, небольшие двухслойные мембраны, полученные из эукариотических клеток, были идентифицированы как полезная естественная платформа доставки благодаря их подходящему размеру, биосовместимости, структурной стабильности, высокой нагрузочной способности и возможности редактирования поверхности. Из-за сложности поддержания высокой чистоты экзосомы было предпринято несколько попыток использовать методы выделения экзосом. В настоящем исследовании был проведен процесс мягкой литографии для создания каналов для разделения экзосом с функцией иммуноаффинности. Тесты как по биохимическим, так и по биофизическим категориям были проведены для проверки качества экстрагированных экзосом из различных источников (сыворотка, клеточный супернатант и моча) и сравнения их с коммерчески доступным набором. Результаты показали, что нынешний метод способен изолировать экзосомы с высоким выходом, чистотой и низкими затратами времени. Все формы экзосом, нагруженных иматинибом, проявляли противоопухолевую активность в отношении клеточной линии KYO-1.
Counseling Refugees With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Using Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy
Authors: Marovic-Johnson Davorka , Brown Emily C.
Published: April 2024

Refugees diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may have trouble with emotional regulation, occupational and social relationships, and other areas of daily functioning such as housekeeping and personal hygiene. This article introduces emotion-focused individual therapy (EFIT) as a therapeutic modality that can efficiently address refugees’ PTSD symptoms. EFIT is an evidence-based theory for addressing attachment needs and improving emotional regulation. A hypothetical case example focused on an Afghan refugee demonstrates the clinical application of EFIT. Recommendations are offered for ethical practice, culturally responsive counseling with attention to social justice advocacy strategies, and research needs. This article guides counselors aiming to apply EFIT with refugees diagnosed with PTSD.
Psychometric Synthesis of the Beck Youth Inventory for Children and Adolescents–Second Edition
Authors: Somerville Carly , Greis Anna , Xu Yikai , Erford Bradley T.
Published: April 2024

The Beck Youth Inventory for Children and Adolescents–Second Edition (BYI-II) is the most current version of a widely used instrument across a variety of settings with both clinical and nonclinical clients ages 7–18 years as a self-report measure of anxiety, depression, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept. This synthesis of 17 studies from 2005 through 2022 using the BYI-II resulted in aggregated internal consistency of .88−.96 across the five subscales. Convergent validity comparisons were very limited, and no test–retest reliability, diagnostic validity, or structural validity studies were located. Intrascale analysis indicated the Depression and the Anxiety subscales yielded the strongest correlation (r = .73). Implications for counseling practice and research are discussed, including use of the multifaceted BYI-II for screening and outcome research with youths. Many more studies of the BYI-II are needed to establish the usefulness of this legacy assessment with school-aged youth.

Authors: Kovtun Nikolay N.
Published: April 2024

This study delves into the intricacies of comprehending, calculating, and applying deadlines within criminal procedure, which serves as a distinct form of guarantee established to uphold the overarching objectives of criminal proceedings in Russia while safeguarding the interests and rights of all involved stakeholders. The author explores the gaps and contradictions present in current normative regulation on this matter, alongside the doctrinal viewpoints and trends within judicial and investigative practices. Concrete examples are employed to illustrate the profound collisions arising from these gaps in practice, prompting an evaluation and the proposition of potential solutions to mitigate, if not eliminate these collisions.
Revisiting the Inevitability of Punishment for Criminal Offense: An Ethical Understanding of the Problem
Authors: Kerimov Alexander D.
Published: April 2024

The author presents a critical examination and justification for his dissenting stance toward the thesis proposed by I.M. Ragimov, A.N. Savenkov, and H.D. Alikperov in their article titled “Etiology of Individual Criminal Behavior: A Different Perspective” (State and Law, 2023;(9):112-125. DOI: 10.31857/S102694520027657-3). This thesis posits that the perpetrator inevitably faces a lifetime of punishment for the crime committed. However, while the author acknowledges the value of the aforementioned article in its entirety, along with its other propositions and conclusions, he calls on fellow legal scholars to engage in a wide-ranging discourse on these matters.
