Filantropía empresarial, Estado y formación de directivos de escuelas secundarias en Argentina. Estudio de caso sobre la Fundación Córdoba Mejora
Authors: Bocchio María Cecilia , Maturo Yanina Débora , Lanfri Nora Zoila
Published: September 2023

En las últimas décadas la filantropía empresarial adoptó nuevas formas y prácticas, tan globales como neoliberales, que vinieron a aggiornarse y a redefinir los sentidos de la mentada responsabilidad social empresarial. Desde los aportes conceptuales de la Teoría de la Regulación Social y con recurso metodológico en la etnografía de redes, analizamos el caso del Programa Líderes Educativos de la Fundación Córdoba Mejora orientados a la formación de directoras y directores de escuela secundaria en la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. Como hipótesis de trabajo sostenemos que el alcance y sostenimiento en el tiempo del programa legitima la trasposición de estrategias y contenidos de formación en management empresarial que reemplazan la formación pedagógica específica de los directivos siendo, además, este perfil de formación avalado por el Ministerio de Educación provincial. Los resultados del estudio pretenden contribuir al campo de indagación sobre los efectos de los think tanks en el diseño y puesta en marcha de políticas educativas, especialmente de formación permanente de quienes ejercen la dirección escolar.
CHALLENGES AND DESIGN ASPECTS OF MICROGRID CLUSTERING
Authors:   Warsaw University of Technology, Pl. Politechniki 1, 00-661 Warsaw, Poland, Fedoseienko O.M.
Published: September 2023

With the growing penetration of distributed energy resources, the traditional microgrid concept is evolving into microgrid clustering, which decomposes the distribution system into interconnected microgrids to improve stability, reliability, and efficiency. Microgrid clusters coordinate power-sharing between microgrids and the main grid, effectively reducing problems such as voltage rise, harmonics, poor power factor, reverse power flow, and conventional protection scheme failures. However, there are challenges to overcome before adopting microgrid clustering, particularly in the design aspects. This paper critically reviews the challenges in the design of microgrid clustering, categorizing multi-microgrids into different architectures based on the interconnections' layout, evaluating reported control techniques in microgrid clustering, and presenting aspects of multi-microgrid protection. Possible areas of future research are highlighted to improve the operational aspects of microgrid clusters. Ref. 3, fig. 6, tables 2. Keywords: energy management; microgrid cluster; ring connection; power converter; protection; synchronization.

A scheme of a reverberatory furnace for melting aluminium waste in a vortex flow of melt created by a curve inductor in a separate cylindrical chamber is presented. The vortex chamber, which is connected to the furnace's melting bath by means of two channels, performs two functions in this furnace: it stirs the molten metal in the bath and creates a vortex funnel into which the pulverized charge is fed. A mathematical model for numerical research of electromagnetic and hydrodynamic processes in such a system is formulated. The influence of the angle of attachment of the suction and pumping channels to the side cylindrical surface of the vortex chamber on its parameters was determined. Such pa-rameters were the average speed of liquid metal in the furnace bath, the melt flow through the cross sections of the connecting channels and the average angular speed of the metal in the chamber. It was established that the angle of the connection of the suction channel has little effect on the operation of the chamber, in contrast to the angle of the pump-ing channel, which in order to achieve maximum efficiency of metal stirring in the bath should take minimum values, and to create the maximum vortex funnel should be more than 500. Considerations are given regarding the compromise values of this angle, which can ensure the necessary operation of the chamber, both from the point of view of the liquid metal stirrer in the furnace bath, and from the point of view of the rotating device of the metal in the chamber.

Kontroversi Nasikh Mansukh Dalam Alquran
Authors: Handoko Agus
Published: September 2023

The discipline of Nasikh wa Mansukh is an essential component of the knowledge of the Quran that the mufassir must possess in order to interpret the verses of the Quran. Nasakh is the abolition of syara' law by the proposition of syara' that descends in time, then when between the two there are messages that appear contradictory at first glimpse and cannot be compromised. This manuscript theory is used as an alternative methodology to resolve apparent contradictions (ta'arudh) between verses of the Qur'an that cannot be resolved using existing methodologies such as takhsih al-'amm, taqyd al-muthlaq, and others. Naskh only appears in shari'a law such as Amr (command) and Nahyi (prohibition), both shorih (clearly) in orders or with words khabar (news) that contain the meaning of orders and prohibitions, provided that they are not related to matters of faith such as Allah's essence and nature, the books, and the last day. In addition to referencing moral ethics and the fundamentals of worship and mu'amalah. Thus, the discussion of nasikh mansukh in the Qur'an cannot be separated from the capacity of a mufassir or mujtahid to investigate God's messages, both in the field of shari'a law and ethics, which are perennially valid.Keywords: Nasikh; Mansukh; Al-Qur'an Abstrak:Disiplin Nasikh wa Mansukh merupakan komponen penting dari pengetahuan Al-Qur'an yang harus dimiliki mufassir untuk menafsirkan ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an. Nasakh adalah penghapusan hukum syara' oleh dalil syara' yang turun dalam waktu, kemudian di antara keduanya terdapat pesan yang sekilas tampak kontradiktif dan tidak dapat dikompromikan. Teori manuskrip ini digunakan sebagai metodologi alternatif untuk menyelesaikan kontradiksi yang tampak (ta'arudh) antara ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan menggunakan metodologi yang ada seperti takhsih al-'amm, taqyd al-muthlaq, dan lain-lain. Naskh hanya muncul dalam hukum syariat seperti Amr (perintah) dan Nahyi (larangan), baik shorih (jelas) dalam perintah maupun dengan kata khabar (berita) yang mengandung arti perintah dan larangan, asalkan tidak berkaitan dengan masalah iman seperti hakikat dan sifat Allah, kitab-kitab, dan hari akhir. Selain merujuk pada etika moral dan dasar-dasar ibadah dan mu'amalah. Dengan demikian, pembahasan nasikh mansukh dalam al-Qur'an tidak lepas dari kemampuan seorang mufassir atau mujtahid dalam mengkaji pesan-pesan Tuhan, baik dalam bidang hukum syariat maupun etika, yang berlaku sepanjang masa.Kata Kunci: Nasikh; Mansukh; Al-Qur'an
Child-addressed talk as an interactional resource
Authors: Hayano Kaoru
Published: September 2023

When parents come to pick up their children at a nursery school, teachers give them the day’s report in the presence of the children. Although the teachers mostly address their reports to the parent of a child, they occasionally address the child. This conversation analytic study documents the use of child-addressed talk (CAT) in nursery schoolteacher–parent interactions. I demonstrate that the use or non-use of CAT is a resource that a nursery schoolteacher may use to assign different participation roles to the child, and, by so doing, to forecast the (non-)seriousness of the incipient report. I further suggest that what amounts to a serious or non-serious matter is subject to interactional negotiation and that CAT is one of many resources that adult participants can use to negotiate and achieve agreement on the matter. Data are drawn from a corpus of Japanese conversations between nursery schoolteachers and parents recorded in Tokyo.

Prelúdio à comunicação-peneira: a comunicação, em Gilles Deleuze
Authors: Feil Gabriel Sausen
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo, queremos mostrar que a criação, em Gilles Deleuze, acontece quando a comunicação é transcendida, de modo que a criação pressupõe a comunicação. A fim de chegarmos à consistência desse argumento, apresentamos o modo como a comunicação aparece em Deleuze; apresentamos o conceito de criação e como ele implica um momento de não comunicação; argumentamos, sobretudo com Friedrich Nietzsche, que a comunicação não é uma opção para os humanos, mas uma necessidade, e que, por isso, precisamos entender que a criação se dá, justamente, no vazamento da comunicação, na medida em que esta funciona ao modo de uma peneira.
The role of the Ukrainian diaspora in preserving the cultural identity and individuality of the Ukrainian nation during the 1960s and 1970s
Authors:   Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, Kindrachuk Nadia
Published: September 2023

The article found that the Ukrainian diaspora was an integral component of Ukrainian ethnic integrity. Numerous public, cultural and educational institutions created by emigrants in their places of residence stood guard over Ukrainian national interests and, despite all obstacles, conducted fruitful cooperation with Ukrainians in the Motherland. In order to preserve and develop the Ukrainian language, representatives of the diaspora paid great attention to the release of the Ukrainian printed word into the world. Due to total censorship in the Ukrainian SSR, Ukrainians abroad contributed to the publication abroad of many Ukrainian works that were banned in Ukraine. By means of international tourism, international student exchange, and world radio broadcasting, contacts between Ukrainian and foreign youth were gradually established, and the spheres of communication expanded. The main task of the Ukrainian diaspora was to preserve the ethnic and cultural identities of the Ukrainian nation, and consolidate the scattered emigration forces for the sole purpose of preparing a political and professional basis for the acquisition of an independent, cathedral Ukrainian state.

Feministyczna dekonstrukcja tradycyjnego obrazu kobiety w utworach Qiu Jin
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Koniuk Michalina
Published: September 2023

Women’s issues are a significant subject of study in the realm of Chinese literature. In many works, it can be seen to oppose stereotypes or norms imposed on the female gender and to take measures leading to the emancipation of the individual. Such literature is symptomatic of a desire for change in society, that is, the overthrow of the patriarchal system and the introduction of equal rights between the sexes. An example of such prose is the works of China’s first feminist, Qiu Jin, who decided to fight for women’s rights. She was sentenced to death for her revolutionary activities. However, her texts introduced a completely new image of women into the public sphere - different from the one that had been reproduced for hundreds of years in ancient China. The poet chose to endow her heroines with charisma, courage, intelligence and the will to fight for a better life. Her aim was to make women aware of their situation in life, their social role, and to encourage them to leave the male-dominated world. Michalina Koniuk, in the chapter “Feminist Deconstruction of the Traditional Image of Woman in Qiu Jin’s Works”, proposes to analyse Qiu Jin’s works and present that the characters created by the writer oppose and destroy the image of the obedient and uneducated woman that existed in ancient China. First, the social role imposed on women in Chinese society has been described, namely that of obedient daughter, wife and daughter-in-law. The requirements and rules expected of Chinese women have been presented, and how Confucian norms contributed to the belittling of women’s role and position in Chinese society. As the poet was inspired by her own life experiences, Qiu Jin’s life were briefly introduced. Her childhood, during which the first signs of dissatisfaction with the obligations and social norms imposed on girls could be observed. An unsuccessful marriage mobilised the feminist to fight for women’s rights, to oppose the doctrines of Confucius and to leave home and go abroad. This was a great act of courage and at the same time a struggle for freedom and independence in the life of a feminist. That part was followed by an analysis of Qiu Jin’s works, whose female characters exemplify the kind of norms and behaviours that Qiu Jin rebelled against. At the same time, these characters deconstruct the traditional image of a woman and introduce a new one of a strong and independent individual. In this chapter, all poems and quotations have been translated by the author from Chinese into Polish.
Understanding Donald J. Trump . Comprehensive analysis of the political discourse created by the use of rhetoric on Twitter (2015–2021)
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Homańska Agnieszka
Published: September 2023

This paper aims to explore the correlation between rhetoric, political views, and actions and how the construction of utterances conveys ideological meaning. Specifically, I examine the nature of rhetoric, its structure, and its impact on the overall tone of an utterance. The analysis reveals that rhetorical devices can manipulate and create messages promoting segregation and discrimination. To illustrate this, I focus on D. Trump’s statements, particularly his use of Twitter to communicate. I analyze his selection of vocabulary and figures of speech, demonstrating his use of hate speech and misogynistic and racist thoughts. Drawing on the work of prominent linguists such as T. Van Dijk, R. Harris, and M. Reisigl, I examine the rhetorical devices used by Trump and their influence on the overall message conveyed. I support the analysis with press publications, articles, and books that provide further insight into Trump’s language use. The conclusions summarize my findings and emphasize the link between rhetoric and political actions and views.

Published: September 2023

The results of a risk reduction study are presented, proving the suitability of solid rocket motors (SRMs) to de-orbit satellites at the end of their lifetime. In a risk reduction program, three basic unexplored questions regarding this technological approach were investigated: (1) what are the effects of the size and type of particles ejected during the operation of SRMs; (2) what is the effect of the micrometeoroid impact on the solid propellant; and (3) what are the effects of prolonged exposure to space radiation during the 20-year expected satellite lifetime of satellites? Using a series of sophisticated and newly developed research approaches, it was shown that solid rocket propellants can withstand harsh space conditions over an extensive period of time. All of the tests were performed using a well-established, metal-free high-performance ammonium perchlorate/hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene propellant fully qualified by military standards.

La crisis de la sociedad señorial y el malestar estatutario de las élites en Chile
Authors: Martuccelli Danilo
Published: September 2023

Tomando como caso de estudio la sociedad chilena, el presente artículo se inserta en las discusiones sobre el poder político y las élites económicas, llamando la atención sobre la importancia de las dimensiones estatutarias. El objetivo es proponer una interpretación sobre la especificidad de la crisis y el malestar elitario en el Chile actual. Para ello, se presenta una argumentación basada en los principios de la sociología histórica interpretativa a partir de la teoría de la estratificación de Max Weber (la distinción entre clases, estatus y partido) y la metodología de los tipos ideales. Sobre esta base, se presenta un razonamiento analítico en tres periodos: el primero marcado por la vigencia del tipo ideal de la sociedad señorial; el segundo, por su crisis en la década de los 70 y por la recomposición del dominio elitario tras el golpe de Estado cuando se produjo una exitosa restructuración de las dimensiones clase y partido, y un insuficiente restablecimiento estatutario; y el tercero caracterizado por la especificidad del malestar actual de las élites en Chile que, a diferencia de otras crisis políticas o económicas, tiene su foco en el orden estatutario. Así, se llama la atención sobre la necesidad de complementar el estudio de las relaciones entre élites económicas y poder político, diferenciando las crisis de legitimidad y los malestares estatutarios.
“Puerta giratoria” o circulación de altos cargos entre campos de poder económico y político en México
Authors: Chardavoine Julia
Published: September 2023

En el presente artículo se estudia cómo ha evolucionado la circulación entre las élites políticas y económicas, es decir, el fenómeno de puerta giratoria en México entre los años 2000 y 2015. El análisis se llevó a cabo a partir del estudio prosopográfico de las trayectorias profesionales de 276 funcionarios/as y de 486 altos ejecutivos/as empresariales que han ocupado posiciones de poder en 15 grupos económicos que forman parte del índice bursátil mexicano. Se demuestra que en este país existe un fenómeno de puerta giratoria de entrada de la empresa hacia el Estado y no viceversa, así como múltiples formas de inversión del campo de poder político-administrativo por empresarios/as del país, tomando en cuenta la diversidad estructural del campo de poder económico. Así, mientras en la actualidad la participación directa del empresariado en la contienda electoral en México tiende a ser obra de individuos con una influencia limitada en el campo económico (patrones-propietarios de grupos con dimensión regional), los grandes patrones-propietarios de las multinacionales del país buscan alinearse con las prácticas de influencia de los grandes grupos del Norte Global y privilegian estrategias de dominio más discretas sobre las políticas públicas.
Empathy and associated influencing factors in occupational therapy students: A cross-sectional study

Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION: Empathy, often described as the comprehension of another person's state of mind, enables one to appreciate social environments and anticipate others' behaviour. In occupational therapy, the therapeutic use of self, which is grounded in empathy, is commonly considered essential, as it enables therapists to manage a therapeutic relationship with clients. However, high caseloads, stressors and pressure to perform often impact empathy levels. This study aimed to determine the empathy levels of undergraduate occupational therapy students, as well as factors affecting empathy levels METHOD: A quantitative approach was used, with an observational, cross-sectional study methodology, employing an electronic survey consisting of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and a questionnaire developed by the researchers RESULTS: In total, 112 (response rate 70.4%) students participated in the study. Overall, the students had a satisfactory level of empathy. Of concern, however, was the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lack of clinical fieldwork experience, which possibly contributed to the lower empathy levels observed among second-and third-year students CONCLUSION: From the findings, it is suggested that more attention should be given to empathy, as it plays an integral role in practice with clients, as well as in the training of occupational therapy students Implications for practice The findings suggest the opportunity for interventions and support systems that can help students manage high caseloads, stressors, and performance pressures, while also fostering and maintaining empathy. Implementing strategies such as stress management programs, mindfulness training, and self-care initiatives can help mitigate the negative impact on empathy levels and promote the development of empathetic skills in future occupational therapists. The research study's results have implications for the professional practice of occupational therapy. It emphasizes the need for ongoing education and training programs that focus on empathy development and maintenance throughout a therapist's career. By providing therapists with the tools, resources, and support to sustain their empathy levels in challenging work environments, the study suggests that the quality of care provided to clients can be enhanced, leading to better therapeutic outcomes and overall client satisfaction. Organizational changes within healthcare settings may be necessary to address workload issues and create a supportive environment that nurtures empathy among occupational therapy professionals.
The impact of prenatal maternal mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic on birth outcomes: two nested case-control studies within the CONCEPTION cohort
Authors: Gorgui Jessica , Tchuente Vanina , Pages Nicolas , Fareh Tasnim , King Suzanne , Elgbeili Guillaume , Bérard Anick ,   the CONCEPTION Study Group
Published: September 2023

Objective

Assess the association between prenatal mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and preterm birth (PTB; delivery < 37 weeks gestation) and low birth weight (LBW; < 2500 g).

Methods

Pregnant individuals, > 18 years, were recruited in Canada and provided data through a web-based questionnaire. We analyzed data on persons recruited between 06/2020 and 08/2021 who completed questionnaires while pregnant and 2 months post-partum. Data on maternal sociodemographics, comorbidities, medication use, mental health (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, General Anxiety Disorder-7, stress), pandemic hardship (CONCEPTION—Assessment of Stress from COVID-19), and on gestational age at delivery and birth weight were self-reported. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated to quantify the association between PTB/LBW and maternal mental health.

Results

A total of 1265 and 1233 participants were included in the analyses of PTB and LBW, respectively. No associations were observed between PTB and prenatal mental health (depression [aOR 1.01, 95%CI 0.91–1.11], anxiety [aOR 1.04, 95%CI 0.93–1.17], stress [aOR 0.88, 95%CI 0.71–1.10], or hardship [aOR 1.00, 95%CI 0.96–1.04]) after adjusting for potential confounders. The risk of PTB was increased with non-white ethnicity/race (aOR 3.85, 95%CI 1.35–11.00), consistent with the literature. Similar findings were observed for LBW (depression [aOR 1.03, 95%CI 0.96–1.13], anxiety [aOR 1.05, 95%CI 0.95–1.17], COVID stress [aOR 0.92, 95%CI 0.77–1.09], or overall hardship [aOR 0.97, 95%CI 0.94–1.01]).

Conclusion

No association was found between prenatal mental health nor hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic and the risk of PTB or LBW. However, it is imperative to continue the follow-up of mothers and their offspring to detect long-term health problems early.

Purpose. The study focuses on issues related to gender inclusion in organizations. It examine show employers can support women in achieving a balance in two domains: work and family. Employees with childcare commitments can perceive the impact of family on work as positive or negative, and this perception might affect their well-being. Following person-environment fit theory, we test the hypothesis that coping strategies can reduce negative consequences and strengthen positive ones. Study design. Women from CIS countries with childcare commitments (N = 200) participated in this survey. The data was collected in close partnership with the SelfMama project. Findings. The results demonstrate thatsuch coping strategies as positive reinterpretation and growth, planning, denial, and attention leads to insignificance of the negative relationship between the negative spillover effect of the family on workand employee well-being, while venting of emotions and behavioral disengagement act in a similar wayin case of low variable value. At the same time, such coping strategies as planning, venting of emotions, denial, and attention, with their high manifestation, strengthened the relationship between the positive spillover effect of the family on work and well-being, while behavioral disengagement moderated in a similar manner at low values. Thus, the following coping strategies with high manifestation are the most effective moderators: planning, denial, and attention in case of their high manifestation, as wellas venting of emotions and behavioral disengagement in case of their low value. Value of results. The observations obtained will allow the management of companies and employees themselves to increase gender inclusion, pointing to more effective coping strategies that can be trained for employees with childcare commitments.

Purpose. The present study aimed to examine the intervening impact of creative self-efficacy amid learning organizations — innovative work behaviors relationships. Also, this study investigates the moderating role of self-leadership amid learning organizations — innovative work behaviors and amid creative self-efficacy — innovative work behaviors relationships. Study design. Three hundred sixty-one employees and one hundred twenty-six immediate supervisors (officers) voluntarily participate in the data collection survey from the manufacturing sector (pharmaceutical and automobile). Using different statistical software (i.e., AMOS v.22, Smart-PLS v.3, SPSS v.25, and PROCESS-macro), the hypothesized relationships (i.e., direct, indirect, moderation, and moderated mediation) were tested. Findings. The present study’s findings reveal that creative self-efficacy partially mediates the learning organizations— innovative work behaviors relationships. Also, results indicate that self-leadership moderates the learning organizations — innovative work behaviors and creative self-efficacy — innovative work behaviors relationships. Implications for practice. The present study enlightens the importance of learning organizations for enhancing innovative work behaviors in the workforce. Rapid worldwide unprecedented changes increase the competition level and require a change in the working structure. Creative self-efficacy of the employees helps the management overcome this uncertain situation through innovative behaviors. Additionally, self-leadership plays a vital role with the support of learning organizational culture and creative self-efficacy for enhancing innovative work behaviors. Value of theresults. The present study will be helpful for management by explaining how to overcome the situation of uncertain change in the business world; also, this study responds to the unanswered questions which occur in the current era, such as how organizations increase the innovative behaviors of their workforce for survival and competitive advantage. Moreover, this study adds knowledge to work psychology and organizational behavior by explaining the intervening role of creative self-efficacy and moderating role of self-leadership.

Purpose. The primary intangible asset of firms and the main factor determining the ircompetitive advantage has emerged as human capital. This paper examined the effect of the selected aspects of human capital management on self-reported employee job performance and the mediating role of employee engagement. Likewise, this study tested the moderation role of perceived organizational support on the human capital management with self-reported employee performance link. Method. This paper is structured on a quantitative approach, with stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The research model analysis method applies structural equation modeling with AMOS to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings. The aspects of human capital management were positively related to self-reported employee job performance. Moreover, employee engagement partially mediates the relationship, and perceived organizational support positively moderates the association between knowledge accessibility, learning capacity, leadership practice, career advancement, and selfreported employee job performance. Conversely, it has an in significant moderation between workforce optimization and employee job performance, optimization and self-reported employee job performance. Implications for practice. This paper has an implication for policy makers, organizational managers, investors in general, and the banking sector in particular in their effort towards creating strategies for matching human capital management strategies, employee engagement, perceived organizational support, and self-reported employee job performance. Thus, aspects of human capital management are the determinant factors of employee engagement and self-reported employee job performance. Moreover, the perception of employees towards organizational support contributes to the relationship.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus are common and may involve any segment of the digestive tract. Lupus enteritis is one of the manifestations responsible for abdominal pain. Its treatment is based essentially on corticosteroids. The use of immunosuppressive drugs is reserved for recurrent forms or in case of failure of corticosteroids. Materials and methods: We report a case of “acute intestinal obstruction in systemic lupus erythematosus” in the Department of Emergency visceral surgery. Results: Mrs. SQ, S, 24 years old, was diagnosed one week ago with systemic lupus erythematosus at the beginning of treatment, with a history of pancreatitis stage E, history of current illness goes back to 05 days before her admission by the installation of a sub-occlusive syndrome made of cessation of matter and gas associated with food vomiting, with cessation of matter and gas in the last 48 hours. Para-clinical The Abdomen without preparation showed hydroaeric levels. With an abdominal CT scan which showed: CT scan appearance in favor of bowel obstruction with evidence of a transitional level above the umbilical: inflammatory stenosis? The spontaneously hyper-dense appearance of the colonic lumen and some ileal intestines is most probably related to a digestive hemorrhage that could be part of lupus enteritis given the patient’s past history with the spontaneously hyper-dense appearance of the colonic lumen and ileal intestines most probably related to a digestive hemorrhage. And distension of the jejunal and some ileal coves, measuring: 36mm in maximum diameter, the seat of hydrophobic level with a transitional level above umbilical. Significant gastric distension. No parietal pneumatosis with no parietal enhancement defect. In view of the clinical symptomatology and the CT scan results, the patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy with the following findings: Absence of peritoneal effusion with the presence of a 3 cm distension of the bowel without any sign of flange, stenosis, or detectable obstacle, with the performance of multiple biopsies at the level of the greater omentum, the mesentery, and the anterior parietal peritoneum Conclusion: Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rarely reported manifestation during systemic lupus erythematosus. It is a rare but potentially serious manifestation that can reveal the disease or occur during the course of the disease. The use of immunosuppressive drugs is reserved for recurrent forms or in case of failure of corticosteroids. However, recurrences are frequent. Azathioprine is an alternative therapy to control the disease. However, recurrences are frequent. Azathioprine is an alternative therapy to control the disease.

Education in regulatory affairs for pharmaceuticals is crucial in order to equip experts with the necessary competency and knowledge to navigate the legal and scientific regulations involved in managing the drug lifecycle. In order to develop the framework which ensures the competency and knowledge, 6 competency requirements and 48 knowledge items were derived from the previous studies. These were then reviewed by 16 experts in three rounds of a Delphi process to assess their validity and reliability in terms of both present and required levels. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranked Test was subsequently conducted to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between the required and present levels. and Borich's educational needs and the Locus for Focus Model were used to confirm the 12 knowledge and 1 competency areas that were identified as having high priority. Based on the findings of this study, a systematic educational program focusing on the necessary competencies and knowledge required for professionals in regulatory affairs of pharmaceuticals should be developed and established.

In this study, we identified whether atorvastatin could induce ferroptosis or not in B16F10.OVA cells, which is being used to treat hypercholesterolemia. To demonstrate this, we treated the mouse melanoma cell line B16F10.OVA with atorvastatin at varying concentrations, spanning from low to high, followed by a 24-hour culture period. In the group treated with atorvastatin in our experiment, we observed a decrease in cell viability that was dependent on the concentration of the treatment, when compared to the control group. The IC50 value of atorvastatin in B16F10.OVA cells was determined to be 49.89 μM. Compared to the control group, treatment with atorvastatin resulted in a concentrationdependent increase in the generation of reactive oxygen species and the accumulation of iron ions. Moreover, atorvastatin treatment exhibited a concentration-dependent increase in the population of apoptotic cells and the expression of calreticulin, significantly surpassing that of the control group. The analysis of ferroptosis-related protein expression levels revealed a notable decrease in the expression of GPX4 in the group treated with atorvastatin, as compared to the control group. These findings strongly suggest that atorvastatin holds promise as a potent anti-cancer agent capable of inducing ferroptosis in melanoma cells.

COVID-19 is a disease of the respiratory system; however, some patients experience multiorgan complications, including those of the digestive system. Many studies have focused on liver, bile duct and stomach dysfunctions during the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Currently, it is known that COVID-19 leads to changes in amylase concentration in the blood, which may be a prognostic factor for pancreatic damage; however, information regarding these clinical cases is limited. Our study aimed to determine the potential changes in total amylase, pancreatic amylase and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in the blood of the donor groups with different titers of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG. Donor groups with titers of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG 10 ± 3 and 95 ± 5 Index (S/C) were characterized by an increase in total and pancreatic amylase concentrations compared to the donor group with titer of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG 0 Index (S/C). We assumed that multiorgan dysfunction developed through the acute inflammatory reactions caused by the SARS-CoV-2 infection. In particular, this may lead to pancreatic complications. To confirm this, we analyzed the CRP concentration in the donor group with the changes in amylase concentration compared to the donor group with titer 0 Index (S/C). The results obtained may be useful in medical practice for diagnosing complications in the post-COVID-19 period and for preventing the development of pancreatic dysfunction during the development of an algorithm for the treatment of COVID-19.

An outbreak of pneumonia that began in December 2019 in Wuhan (China) caused the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). After an increase in the number of positive cases of infection in China, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the virus epidemic a public health emergency. The 2019 coronavirus disease (Coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) has a devastating effect on the health of people in many countries around the world. It is known that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in addition to damaging the lung parenchyma, can damage other organ systems and complicate the condition of patients with comorbid diseases, in particular, with osteoarthritis. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the formation and progression of osteoarthritis. Its development is associated with a violation of the oxidative-antioxidant balance. The aim of the work was to determine the indicators of the antioxidant system in the blood plasma of patients with OA after SARS-CoV-2 infection. All study participants were further divided into three experimental groups: Group I – conditionally healthy people, Group II – patients with OA of the knee joints of the II-III degree, and Group III – patients with OA of the knee joints of the II–III degree who suffered a mild or moderately severe form COVID-19 6–9 months ago. Superoxide dismutase and catalase activity and the content of sulfhydryl groups were determined by generally accepted biochemical methods. Processing of research results was carried out using generally accepted methods of variational statistics. It was found that the activity of anti-radical enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase) and the content of compounds containing SH-groups (of protein and non-protein nature) are reduced in the blood plasma of osteoarthritis patients who contracted COVID-19. The obtained results indicate a shift of the oxidant-antioxidant balance in the pro-oxidant direction. These disorders are more profound compared to patients with osteoarthritis who did not suffer from coronavirus infection. The results obtained by us indicate that patients with osteoarthritis may experience a more severe course of osteoarthritis and develop complications after infection with COVID-19.
