Background: The prevalence of short stature was reported high in thalassemia major patients. It causes mental and social problems for them. As different cut-off points for growth retardation are suggested in these patients, it is desirable to find a careful cut-off age using statistical analysis to help patients before it is too late. Methods: Data from 803 thalassemia major patients was extracted from questionnaires completed in person by the operator. They contained demographic data, family, medical, and drug history. Height and weight measurements were conducted by only one device. The mean age was 20±7 years and there were 420 females in the sample. Children (<20 years of age) constituted 47% of the participants. Patients who reported a major risk factor for osteoporosis were omitted from this study. The SPSS software, version 16 was used for the statistical analysis Results: Short stature was found in 32% of patients. Being 10 to 11 years old or above increased the risk of short stature, 28.5 and 21.4 times, respectively compared to younger patients (P<0.001). On the other hand, after 7 years of age up to 18 years of age, similar to 10 years of age and 11 years of age, increases the risk of short stature. Also being 27 years old and 30 years old and above increases the risk of short stature 1.4 and 1.7 times, respectively, compared to younger patients (P=0.042 and <0.018, respectively). Conclusions: Awareness of short stature and monitoring it in thalassemic patients should be done in their childhood. Accordingly, being 7 years old or above increases the risk of short stature; therefore, we suggest the start of monitoring as early as 5 years of age.

Background and Objectives: The global COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impeded children’s vaccination programs, endangering the public’s health. Concerns have risen about the impact on vaccination coverage rates and the need for effective strategies to overcome such obstacles. Accordingly, this study investigates the effects of COVID-19 on the worldwide trend of childhood immunization. Methods: The Web of Science database was comprehensively searched from January 2020 to July 2023. The English keywords were TS=([“SARS-CoV-2” OR “COVID-19” OR “coronavirus”) AND (“pediatric immunization” OR “childhood vaccination” OR “vaccine coverage”]). The two authors of this research independently assessed each study that satisfied the inclusion criteria. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses checklist guided the systematic review process, and VOSviewer software was used for bibliometric analysis. Results: The initial search yielded 624 articles, leaving 62 articles for analysis. The most frequent keyword searches were COVID-19 (n=37, total link strength=78). The US was the most productive country in terms of articles (n=19, citations=411). Furthermore, visualization mapping showed that “the journal of vaccine” was the top source with a total link strength of 1560 and citations of 139. The disruptions were multifaceted and resulted from various factors, such as changes in vaccination coverage rates, vaccine hesitancy, missed or delayed vaccinations, catch-up immunization efforts, and disruptions to routine immunization programs. Declines in vaccination coverage were observed for various vaccines, including measles, polio, and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis. Conclusions: The results showed the critical need for action to minimize the COVID-19 pandemic’s negative effects on childhood immunization. Policymakers and healthcare providers should prioritize restoring and strengthening immunization services, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and implementing catch-up vaccination programs.

Background and Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, school closures, and home quarantine measures resulted in a myriad of mental health challenges for teenagers, notably heightened levels of stress and anxiety, with far-reaching implications. Against this backdrop, the current study identifies the factors associated with anxiety and fear among adolescent girls during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent post-pandemic period. Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive review using related keywords, such as anxiety, fear, phobia, adolescent, teenager, teen, coronavirus, corona, and COVID-19. Specifically, articles with Iranian affiliations were investigated in PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and SID databases from July 19 to August 26, 2023. Results: A comprehensive analysis of 16 studies revealed significant associations between various factors and the level of COVID-19 anxiety among teenagers. Specifically, factors such as effective communication skills, robust social support networks, mindfulness practices, resilience, and optimistic attitudes mitigated COVID-19 anxiety levels. Conversely, factors such as insomnia, excessive exposure to news updates, and prolonged periods of quarantine were associated with heightened COVID-19 anxiety levels among teenagers. Conclusions: Adolescents have exhibited psychological vulnerability amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly manifesting symptoms of anxiety and fear. The reviewed studies primarily focused on elucidating the associations between various factors and anxiety levels. Hence, future research endeavors are encouraged to delve into investigating efficacious methodologies fortifying these associations and bolstering beneficial factors. This approach is vital for averting the deleterious consequences of anxiety in the post-COVID-19 era.

Published: May 2024

Background and Objectives: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a subtype of major depressive disorder, which is correlated with having an infant with cleft lip and palate (CL/P). Since there is a dearth of research in this regard, this study compares mothers of infants with CL/P and mothers of normal infants in terms of PPD and suicidal thoughts. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 50 mothers of children with CL/P and 50 mothers of normal children who had recently given birth and presented to the Research Center of Cranial Deformities, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan City, Iran, from September 2020 and 2021. The Edinburgh postnatal depression scale was used to assess PPD. Results: The mean PPD score was 15.42±4.77 (range=5-24) and 10.3±6.7 (range=0-29) in mothers of children with CLP and those with normal children, respectively. The frequency of PPD was significantly higher among the mothers of CLP children, compared to mothers of normal children (χ2=25.25, P<0.005). No difference was reported between the mothers with PPD and those without it in terms of educational level (χ2=0.36, P=0.83), occupational status (χ2=0.13, P=0.71), or parity (P=0.93). Having suicidal thoughts had no significant correlation with having CL/P children (P=0.11). Conclusions: The PPD score and frequency of PPD were higher among mothers of children with CLP, compared with mothers of normal children; however, the frequency of suicidal thoughts was not significantly different between the two groups. Educational level, occupational status, and parity were not correlated with PPD or suicidal thoughts.

Background and Aims Individuals with vision loss are at an increased risk of falls. Due to postural control impairment in blind people, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of aquatic exercises on the center of pressure sway in blind women. Methods Thirty blind females were selected and randomly assigned into the experimental (Mean±SD age: 28.93±2.25 years, Mean±SD height: 1.56±6.46 m, and Mean±SD weight: 58.06±7.91 kg) and control groups (Mean±SD age: 29.13±2.23 years, Mean±SD height: 1.57±7.48 m and Mean±SD weight 57.93±7.99 kg). The experimental group participated in an aquatic exercise program for 8 weeks, while the control group received no intervention. The participants’ index of the center of gravity sways was evaluated using the RS scan pressure distribution before and after the intervention. In the end, the analysis of covariance was used for data analysis (P≤0.05). Results The results showed a significant decrease in the center of pressure sway scores (ellipse area and traveled distance sway of body center of gravity), both in the posterior-anterior and anterior-posterior perturbations, after conducting the 8 weeks aquatic exercise program in the experimental group (P<0.05) compared to the control group. Conclusion Generally, designing an appropriate exercise protocol can significantly change the center of gravity sway (decrease in the ellipse area and traveled distance sway of body center of gravity). Therefore, it is recommended that aquatic and somatosensory exercises be incorporated into training programs for blind people to reduce the risk of falls in these individuals.

Background and Aims Concerning the effectiveness of training on people with chronic low back pain, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of postural restoration institute (PRI) training on lower limb kinematics during walking in middle-aged subjects with discogenic low back pain. Methods In this prospective observational quasi-experimental study, 42 people participated in three groups: people without low back pain (healthy group, n=14) and people with low back pain in two groups (intervention group, n=14; and control group, n=14). Kinematic data were recorded by 7 Qualisys cameras with a frequency of 100 Hz in the pretest and post-test. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used in SPSS software version 23 at a significance level 0.05. Results The results showed that people with low back pain in the intervention and control groups walk with a slower velocity, lower cadence, and shorter step length than healthy individuals for both right and left limbs. However, after the PRI training, the intervention group showed a significant increase in those three variables. Furthermore, there were significant differences between the healthy group and the two groups of intervention and control in the range of motion (ROM) for the pelvis in the sagittal and frontal planes, the right hip joint in the horizontal plane, the right ankle in the frontal plane, the left hip joint in the sagittal and horizontal planes as well as the left ankle in the sagittal plane. After applying PRI, the differences between the healthy and the intervention groups regarding the pelvis ROM on the sagittal plane, the right ankle ROM on the sagittal plane, the left hip joint ROM on the frontal plane, and the left knee ROM on the sagittal plane were minimized and became insignificant. Conclusion The present study’s findings confirmed the effectiveness of using PRI training in improving biomechanical indicators, such as the range of joint movements and increasing the velocity and step length of walking, to treat and manage the performance of people with discogenic chronic low back pain.

Published: May 2024

Background and Aims Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the injuries that can permanently end the professional courier of an athlete. Almost half of athletes cannot return to their competitive levels before injury, even after successful rehabilitation. For this reason, there is another factor besides physical factors in not returning to sports practice, which in most studies is attributed to psychological factors. Fear of re-injury and fear of movement (kinesiophobia) are factors that prevent athletes from returning to sports activities after the reconstruction of the ACL. Many studies have examined the psychological factors after reconstruction and injury of the ACL. However, no study has so far examined and concluded about kinesiophobia after ACL reconstruction. Methods In this study, we searched published studies from 2000 to 2020 examining the effect of kinesiophobia on return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. In this study, we searched the relevant articles considering specialized English and Persian keywords, including «fear of movement,» «fear of re-injury,» «kinesiophobia,» «psychological factors of exercise,» «return to sport,» and «anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction» in academic Persian and English databases: Google Scholar, TRIP, PEDro, PubMed, Irandoc, SID, and Magiran. Results After the search, 162 articles were initially found. After reviewing the abstracts, 57 articles were remained. Then, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 26 articles were finally selected for inclusion in this study. Conclusion According to research findings, fear of movement and fear of re-injury in athletes after ACL reconstruction can delay their return to sports activities. This setback can reduce the quality of life and participation in sports and recreational games and causes depression and stress. Different rehabilitation approaches are highly effective in gaining various results after the reconstruction of ACL. Because physical and psychological improvement do not advance in parallel, it seems necessary to establish a new approach in sports rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction.

Published: May 2024

Background and Aims This study aimed to compare the frequency spectrum of ground reaction forces in blind and healthy participants with open and closed eyes during walking. Methods This study was quasi-experimental. The statistic samples comprised 15 blind men with a mean age of 25.22±6.33 years and 15 healthy men with a mean age of 27.22±5.31 years. They were selected by available sampling. A foot scan (RS Scan International, Belgium) device was used to measure the foot pressure values while walking. Variables of foot pressure were recorded at a sampling frequency of 300 Hz. For data analysis, we used the paired t test to compare the within-group means and the independent t test to compare the between-group means in SPSS software, version 24. Results The results showed that the frequency content with 99.5% power was greater in the blind group than in the healthy group with open eyes in the vertical direction, first metatarsal, and lateral and medial heel parts (P<0.05). Also, the frequency content with 99.5% power was greater in the healthy group with closed eyes than those healthy ones with open eyes (P<0.05). The frequency content with 99.5% power (P=0.004) and numbers of essential harmonics (P=0.003) in the vertical direction in the blind group were respectively 9.84% and 13.51% less than the healthy group with closed eyes. The number of essential harmonics (P=0.002) in the vertical direction in the healthy group with closed eyes was 20.61% greater than those healthy ones with open eyes. The frequency content with 99.5% power in the vertical direction in the blind group was less than that of the healthy group with closed eyes (P=0.023). Conclusion Considering the increase in frequency with 99.5% power and the number of essential harmonics in different areas of the soles of the foot in the blind group and healthy group with closed eye, it is recommended that physiotherapists, motion analysts, and rehabilitation specialists design a special rehabilitation protocol for blind people and those who lost their vision due to an accident.

Background and Aims Physical activities play a preventive role in Parkinson disease by maintaining the physical fitness and health of the patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of Otago exercise on selected walking factors in patients with Parkinson disease. Methods This quasi-experimental study was performed on the experimental and control groups with a pretest-posttest design. The statistical population of the present study comprised all patients with Parkinson disease (with at least stage three on the Hoehn and Yahr intensity scale) referred to the neurologist offices with an age range of 55-75 years. The subjects were randomly divided into groups of Otago exercises (n=16, with Mean±SD age: 63.0±6.4 years, Mean±SD weight: 65.7±5.2 kg, and mean height 1.74±0.07 m) and control (n=16; with Mean±SD age: 63.4±5.7 years, Mean±SD weight: 64.1±5.9 kg, and Mean±SD height: 1.72±0.09 m). Eight weeks of Otago exercise was performed three times a week for 60 minutes at each session. A motion analysis system consisting of 8 cameras and 2 force plates was used to record selected walking factors, including step length, step width, and knee joint extension changes. The paired t test was used to compare each group in the pretest and posttest, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare between groups. Results The results showed significant differences in the step length, step width, and knee extension changes in patients with Parkinson disease between the experimental and control groups (P<0.001). Also, the results showed that patients with Parkinson disease had longer step length, shorter step width, and greater knee extension in both legs after Otago exercise. Conclusion Otago exercises can be used as one of the easy and low-cost methods in improving the walking components of patients with Parkinson disease.

Background and Aims The present study was conducted to investigate the change in the receptive language, intermediate language, expressive language, semantics, syntax, and phonology of dyslexic students and compare them with the norm group. Methods The statistical sample of the present study comprised 28 dyslexic students studying in the first and second grades of primary school and 29 normal students from the same grades. They were selected non-randomly based on the inclusion criteria. The third edition of the Persian version of the test of language development (TOLD-P3) was used to measure the components of receptive language, intermediate language, and expressive language. Tehran Stanford-Binet intelligence test (TSB-5) and reading and dyslexia test (NAMA) were used to diagnose dyslexia. Multivariate analysis of variance was used for data analysis. Results The findings indicate a significant difference in the evolution of the components of receptive language, intermediate language, expressive language, semantics, syntax, and phonology between dyslexic and normative students. Conclusion According to the results, dyslexic students are weaker in all components of spoken language than their non-dyslexic peers. Considering the dyslexic students’ problem in reading, they are profoundly different from their normal peers in lower levels of language, including spoken language. Thus, the growth and development of language skills must be considered in reading learning disability besides other rehabilitation skills.

Published: May 2024

The state is obliged to ensure that health services are provided for women, especially family planning (KB) services,pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum or exclusive breastfeeding. It cannot be denied that until now there are still many offices /companies that ignore the existence of lactation rooms. Whereas the obligation of work organizers to provide lactation space has been regulated in the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation Number 15 of 2013. The regulation of procedures for providing breastfeeding space aims to provide protection to mothers in exclusive breastfeeding and fulfill children's rights to receive exclusive breastfeeding. The provision of this breastfeeding corner facility is devoted to meeting the needs of mothers and babies who still have to breastfeed, and at the same time aims to increase exclusive breastfeeding for babies as one of the main nutrients. This research discussed about how to optimize the lactation room for vulnerable groups to provide excellent service in Mahkamah Syar’iyah Blangkejeren.

Some Defective Aspects of Lexis Translation in the Holy Quran into English
Authors: Al-Awd Mubarak
Published: May 2024

Translating the meanings of the Holy Qur’an, particularly the lexical terms, into English are one of the most challenging tasks. The present study aims to reveal the importance of translating the lexical terms and its challenges for translators and experts in the field by offering a 6-sample example to highlight the difficulties lying with Qur’anic Texts and the challenges its translation involves. The study attempts to answer three main research questions related to (i) the specificities of the Qur’anic Text and the lexical items challenges its translation poses; (ii) the difficulties and challenges and to overcome them; and (iii) the extent to which translators developed efficient approaches. These challenges are grounded within a body of corpora from the Holy Qur’an in the form of Ayat (verses) by offering a 6-sample example, which are translated into English according to Hilali & Khan and Haleem. Under this token, we scrutinize each translation and identify the challenges faced during their process. Our technique relies on back-translation to reveal these challenges. The study adopts an eclectic approach in its methodology. The findings revealed that translating the meanings of lexical items was an added value for the translators, who realized that awareness of Arabic rhetoric and Islamic exegetical works is crucial for a faithful translation to the meanings of the Holy Qur’an.
La problematización de la matemática escolar y el diseño de situaciones de aprendizaje en un escenario de desarrollo profesional docente
Authors: Cabrera Chim Luis Manuel , Romano Rivera Roberto
Published: May 2024

Diseñar situaciones de aprendizaje requiere de una teoría que guíe su racionalidad y poseer o desarrollar conocimientos profesionales. Sin embargo, muchos procesos de desarrollo profesional dejan fuera el proceso de diseño y la comprensión de los desafíos profesionales que conlleva. Por su parte, la Teoría Socioepistemológica de la Matemática Educativa plantea que la problematización del saber matemático permite identificar elementos importantes para elaborar las situaciones de aprendizaje. Así, interesa comprender cómo los profesores articulan los elementos de dicha problematización en las situaciones de aprendizaje que elaboran. Para ello se analizaron las situaciones generadas por profesores en un espacio de desarrollo profesional. Esto se realizó a partir de tres categorías: problematización del saber matemático, rediseño del discurso matemático escolar y trayectoria hipotética de aprendizaje. Los resultados muestran que los profesores tienen dificultades para realizar problematizaciones robustas y pertinentes, que favorezcan, entre otras cosas, identificar y establecer aquellas prácticas que normen la significación de los saberes matemáticos. Además reducen la dimensión social al establecer contextos donde trabajar el contenido matemático. También tienen dificultades para incorporar los elementos producto de la problematización en una adecuada trayectoria de aprendizaje. Por tanto, la problematización es necesaria, pero no basta para diseñar las situaciones de aprendizaje.

Published: May 2024

Este trabajo se enfoca en la necesidad de reconocer e incluir a los estudiantes con altas capacidades intelectuales (ACI) en los procesos académicos en las aulas de clase, de acuerdo a sus capacidades y ritmo de aprendizajes, urgiendo la necesidad de visibilizar la población estudiantil con altas capacidades que asisten a clases y pasan desapercibidos. La presente investigación tiene por objetivo analizar los factores que impiden la visibilización de los estudiantes con ACI en las aulas escolares, utilizando una metodología de tipo mixto en la cual participaron nueve maestros de educación básica primaria y siete padres de familia. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron una encuesta para docentes y una entrevista semiestructurada para padres de familia. Los resultados indican que los maestros han recibido poca capacitación y apoyo sobre el tema. De igual forma se muestra la preocupación de los padres por la actitud que tienen sus hijos frente a las clases debido a que se sienten ignorados o excluidos de algunas actividades debido a su condición. Como principal resultado se muestra que un 55% de los docentes desconocen el tema de altas capacidades, lo que explica el motivo por el cual los estudiantes pasan desapercibidos en las aulas escolares.
Docentes como intelectuales: sus estratos y su función principal como intérprete y traductor
Authors: Ruiz Mendoza Karla Karina
Published: May 2024

En un sexenio en que se retomó el concepto del intelectual en México, este ensayo tiene como objetivo presentar el papel multifacético del docente en el contexto educativo actual, destacándolo como un intelectual rural, cuya función principal es como intérprete y traductor de conocimientos. Partiendo de autores como Gramsci, Dubet y Ball, se revisa cómo el docente emerge como intelectual orgánico en respuesta a las necesidades de su contexto social y económico. La micropolítica dentro de las instituciones educativas y la diversificación de los tipos de escuelas, modalidades de enseñanza, así como los cambios contextuales y tecnológicos han complicado la identificación del docente como un actor activo. Aunado a lo anterior, la llegada de la inteligencia artificial generativa plantea nuevos retos y oportunidades, requiriendo habilidades críticas para evaluar y contextualizar la información generada. Por ello, se enfatiza en las funciones del docente: función emocional, investigadora, de transmisión de conocimientos, organizacional y sindical del docente. A través de un análisis crítico de las políticas educativas y las policy technologies, se concluye que los docentes deben asumir un rol activo en la interpretación y adaptación de políticas y contenidos educativos para preparar a los estudiantes para contribuir significativamente a la sociedad.

Authors: Amri Ihyan , Siahaan Charles , Gunawan Erik Jaya , Ritunga Imelda , Tjiptohardjo Andianto Indrawan
Published: May 2024

Background: Hypnoanesthesia is a state of anesthesia achieved through hypnosis techniques. Meanwhile, local anesthesia is anesthesia carried out by injecting local anesthetic drugs in or around the surgical site which causes temporary obstruction to the conduction of afferent impulses.
Objective: This research was conducted to prove that there is no difference between hypnoanesthesia and local anesthesia in minor surgical procedures, with the indication of pain relief.
Methods: The research subjects were patients with benign soft tissue tumors consisting of 40 people who were divided into 2 groups, namely treatment and control. Minor surgical procedures with hypnoanesthesia were performed in the treatment group, while in the control group, minor surgical procedures were performed with local anesthesia using 2% lidocaine. Pain is measured with FPS (Face Pain Scale) and monitored with a vital sign monitor. The intervention process was recorded with camcorder video. Changes in serum levels of excitatory neurotransmitters (Glutamic Acid and Substance P) and inhibitory (Beta Endorphin, Enkephalin, and Serotonin) before and after intervention were analyzed using ELISA (Enzym-Link Immunosorbent Assay) in both groups.
Results: In the treatment group, it was discovered that patients did not feel pain after undergoing hypnoanesthesia intervention by providing suggestions for the relief of pain in the area where surgery would be performed. In the control group, patients also did not feel pain after local anesthetic intervention in the area to be operated on. However, the results of research and statistical tests showed that there was no significant difference in changes in Beta Endorphins, Enkephalin, and Serotonin as inhibitory neurotransmitters (p > 0.05) or Glutamic Acid and Substance P as excitatory neurotransmitters (p > 0.05) before and after the intervention in both groups of research subjects.
Conclusion: the results of this study show that there is no significant difference between the treatment and control groups, they have equality in the final result, namely the relief of pain.

Mental health problems are on the rise in contemporary organizations largely due to frequent job insecurity among employees. Drawing from traditional stress theories, the study assesses work-family conflict as a mediator in the correlation between job insecurity and job disengagement. Additionally, it hypothesized that the influence of job insecurity on job disengagement, mediated by work-family conflict, would be contingent upon perceived procedural justice. Consequently, the study employed a moderated mediation model to test these hypotheses. Data were collected from a sample of 263 private security personnel in Accra, Ghana. Utilizing questionnaires administered at a single time point over an eight-week duration, the study gathered information from the participants on job insecurity, job disengagement, work-family conflict, and procedural justice. Subsequently, JASP software and the PROCESS model were utilized to analyze the data. The study revealed that procedural justice played a dual role: it not only moderated the impact of job insecurity and work-family conflict but also moderated the positive effect of job insecurity on job disengagement through work-life conflict. This study pioneers an examination of the moderated mediated mechanism involving procedural justice as a moderator in the relationship between job insecurity and job disengagement via work-family conflict. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for organizations by highlighting the mitigating influence of procedural justice in reducing employee job disengagement through the mediated pathway of work-family.
ОСНОВИ ПОРІВНЯННЯ СТАНДАРТІВ ЯКОСТІ ЩОДО СФЕР ЕЛЕКТРОННОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ

Окреслено основи порівняння стандартів якості щодо сфер електронного управління та зазначено, що кожна сфера діяльності, відображена системою управління, обумовлена здатністю здійснювати порівняння і співвідношення об’єктів за якісними параметрами, до яких належить виріб чи товар, підприємство, державні установи разом із підпорядкованими їм закладами, з огляду на що забезпечується дотримання раціональної організації його діяльності. Здійснено порівняння стандартів якості вказаних вище об’єктів за такими ознаками, як: пропорційність елементів системи управління будь-якої сфери діяльності – за продуктивністю або обсягами виконаних робіт; забезпеченість ресурсами та інформацією, кадрами; паралельність перетікання значних складових процесу всередині структурних утворень (також можуть бути об’єктами для порівняння), прямоточність (короткий шлях за мінімуму ланок); ритмічність; спеціалізація і концентрація складників процесу; застосування новітніх технологій для підсилення комунікаційних можливостей. Наголошено на тому, що більш важливим відліком порівняння стандартів якості є ефективність, досконалість та безвідмовність первинних засобів, які характеризуються найширшими функціональними можливостями, максимальною поширеністю інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій і навіть найліпшими споживчими властивостями, що у загальному підсумку надає високої якості та різноманітності усім видам ресурсів, матеріально-технічного забезпечення. Унаслідок зазначеного й виникає здатність держави здобувати і водночас поширювати серед суспільства знання та інновації. Такий підхід дає змогу визначити швидкість та ефективність реакції держави під час порівняння стандартів якості на зміни у зовнішньому середовищі разом зі встановленням взаємозв’язків та процесів, які виходять від внутрішнього середовища. Надалі порівняння стандартів якості сприятиме утворенню стратегічних орієнтирів – як прагнення держави до новизни управлінських процесів, за яким виявляється потенціал всіх об’єктів залежно від видів ресурсного забезпечення в супроводі із тенденціями їх розвитку, поліпшення та удосконалення.
МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ ЗАХИСТОМ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО ПРОСТОРУ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ РИЗИК-ОРІЄНТОВАНОГО ПІДХОДУ

Моделювання публічного управління захистом інформаційного простору в сучасному світі є однією з ключових проблем з огляду на постійний розвиток, удосконалення технологій, геополітичну нестабільність і зростання та урізноманітнення загроз. Практикоорієнтований підхід, обґрунтований з урахуванням набутого досвіду, дає змогу аналізувати сценарії загроз, передбачати їхні наслідки та відшуковувати ефективні методи і способи реагування на сучасні виклики, які стоять перед державою в контексті забезпечення її національної безпеки, та захищати відповідним чином національні інтереси. Це дослідження, в основу якого покладено теорії Чорного Лебедя та Сірого Носорога, вказує на необхідність урахування непередбачуваних ризиків та загроз, з якими має справу чи може потенційно зіткнутися система публічного управління, адже їх недооцінка або нехтування ними може призвести до серйозних наслідків для системи національної безпеки. В умовах сьогодення питання гарантування інформаційної безпеки держави стає пріоритетом унаслідок наявності ризиків щодо дестабілізації національного інформаційного простору. Зокрема, в контексті України нині важливо враховувати принаймні чотири ключові напрями дестабілізації суспільно-політичної ситуації, аби мати можливість розробляти ефективні стратегії реагування, протидії та захисту. Наведена модель моніторингу інформаційного простору, яка складається з низки послідовних і взаємозалежних елементів, може стати підґрунтям для забезпечення ефективного захисту інтересів держави у нинішніх турбулентних обставинах. З огляду на попередні дослідження рекомендовано розвивати ризик-орієнтований підхід до організації системи управління захистом інформаційного простору задля мінімізації та нейтралізації можливих наслідків загроз в означеній сфері.
