Public service system in the Russian Federation
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Jang Hwijin
Published: April 2024

The current civil service system in the Russian Federation was established and operated after the collapse of the Soviet Union, going through the first civil service reform in 1995 and the second civil service reform in 2002.
The Civil Service Act of the Russian Federation is an individual administrative law in the administrative law system of the Russian Federation and forms a unique area and system of administrative law (Институт государственной службы), and its disciplinary system is related to the state affairs system of the Russian Federation, which is the basic law in the civil service law system. It consists of related general laws and special laws based on federal laws and the status and scope of activities of public officials.
When referring to civil servants under the Civil Service Act of the Russian Federation, it refers only to state civil servants (Государственный служащий), which are equivalent to career civil servants in Korea. Therefore, the concept of public affairs does not exist in the civil service law of the Russian Federation, and the concept of national affairs (Государственная служаба) is commonly used. National affairs are defined as workers who are employed by a state agency and granted State Council status, and where a natural person provides labor for the purpose of performing specific affairs for state agencies and public officials as a state in the practical sense.
In the Russian Federation, administrative jurisdiction exists at the federation, federation constituent, and local government levels. Persons who perform affairs at each level are called state secretaries in a formal sense, and are specifically divided into federal state secretariat, federal constituent state secretariat, and local government officials. They are classified, and it is no exaggeration to say that among all levels of office work, federal office workers are the standard for office workers at other levels. The types of Federal Secretariat are: ㉠ General State Council (Государственный служащий), ㉡ Military Council (Военнослужащий), ㉢ Special State Council (Специальный г) The State Council for Justice, the State Council for Foreign Affairs, And then ㉥ It is classified as the Prosecutor's Office (Государственный служащий прокуроского работника).

Moscow and the World: From Soviet Active Measures to Russian Information Warfare
Authors: Kanet Roger E.
Published: April 2024

Russia under Vladimir Putin has expanded and moved rapidly to improve its ability to employ “disinformation,” or “information warfare,” as an effective instrument to help it to accomplish its specific foreign policy objectives. Although it has only been since direct Russian involvement in the U.S. presidential election of 2016 that this has been an issue of major public political concern in the United States, a flood of research on this topic has now begun to appear. Despite many years of preparation for cyber conflict against critical U.S. infrastructure and military forces, the U.S. government and cybersecurity industry were unprepared for Russian information operations targeting the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It is clear, however, that the Russian propaganda/disinformation activities in the U.S. are but one part of a policy targeted virtually everywhere across the entire world and that this policy builds upon the earlier propaganda and disinformation activities of Russia’s predecessor state, the USSR. In the present essay, we intend to track the reemergence and development of the information warfare and disinformation component of Russian policy under President Putin, including its largely successful attempt to reintegrate the components of the former Soviet Union and its deep roots in Soviet “active measures,” up until the invasion of Ukraine, when it expanded exponentially. We shall also track the areas of the world targeted, and the increasing breadth of its target audiences and the issues covered.

Izhodišča: Uvedba klinične prakse v začetne letnike študija pomeni uvedba zgodnjega stika z bolnikom in priložnost, da se v učni proces dejavno vključijo klinični mentorji. Namen prispevka je ugotoviti, kako so študenti ocenili izpolnjevanje zastavljenih učnih ciljev, ter predstaviti analizo kvantitativnih in kvalitativnih ocen pouka prve generacije študentov prvega letnika medicine in dentalne medicine o obvezni klinični praksi v študijskem letu 2021/22.

Metode: Med študenti 1. letnikov medicine in dentalne medicine smo izvedli za študente obvezno anonimno anketo ob koncu izvajanja klinične prakse v študijskem letu 2021/22. Sestavljena je bila iz vprašanj zaprtega tipa, pri katerih je bila uporabljena Likertova skala z oceno od 1 do 5, in vprašanj odprtega tipa. Kvantitativne podatke smo analizirali z uporabo metod deskriptivne statistike in Mann-Whitneyevega testa za dva neodvisna vzorca, kvalitativno zbrane podatke smo analizirali z deskriptivno analizo prejetih opisnih odgovorov študentov.

Rezultati: Anketo so izpolnili 304 študentje (100 % odziv), med katerimi je bilo 245 študentov medicine (80,6 %) in 59 (19,4 %) študentov dentalne medicine. Število študentk je bilo 271, kar je predstavljalo 71,4 % udeležencev. Študenti so poročali, da so bili učni cilji v celoti izpolnjeni. Pretežno so bili zadovoljni z osvojitvijo kliničnih veščin in veščin nudenja nujne medicinske pomoči. Pomembno slabše so osvojitev kliničnih veščin ocenili študentje dentalne medicine (Mann-Whitney 8689,5; p =0,009). Najbolje ocenjeni del celotnega predmeta je bila prav praksa v kliničnem okolju, ki je bila ocenjena z mediano 5 (interkvartilni razmik 0). Vlogo mentorja so študenti ocenili izjemno pozitivno, kar 288 (94,7 %) študentov bi namreč svojega mentorja zanesljivo priporočilo kolegom.

Zaključki: Študenti so klinično prakso v prvem letniku ocenili kot izjemno pozitivno izkušnjo. Najvišjo oceno so podelili kliničnim mentorjem. Prepoznani vlogi mentorjev klinične prakse v izobraževanju študentov medicine in dentalne medicine bo zato sledila še formalna ureditev statusa mentorjev klinične prakse.

Actitud del profesorado hacia la atención al alumnado de alta capacidad
Authors: Monzó-Martínez Anna , García-Raga Laura
Published: April 2024

Research examining teacher attitudes while serving learners in gifted education corroborates that teachers who have a positive attitude are more likely to support their students, attempting to meet their emotional, social, and academic needs. On the contrary, teachers who respond negatively can hamper the development of key competences, resulting in loss of motivation and a poor academic performance. In this line, the present study aims to investigate the attitudes of Valencian teachers towards highly capable students—and their needs—through an analysis of their beliefs, while also determining the impact of the training received on the development of said attitudes. To achieve this, an ad-hoc questionnaire was designed and administered to a total of 1176 teachers from the Valencian Community. Results indicate that the attitude of teachers towards gifted students is more positive among younger instructors with fewer teaching experience, as well as among early years and primary school teachers in comparison with those teaching at higher levels. Furthermore, the results obtained prove that the training received does not significantly impact teacher attitudes and beliefs, thus emphasizing the need to consider environmental factors and, especially, the social representations associated to the different generations.

Las investigaciones que han examinado las actitudes y las creencias del profesorado hacia la educación del alumnado con alta capacidad corroboran que el profesorado que tiene una actitud positiva apoya a este alumnado e intenta satisfacer sus necesidades emocionales, sociales y académicas, mientras que el profesorado que presenta actitudes negativas puede provocar la pérdida de motivación, el bajo rendimiento e, incluso, en ocasiones, el deterioro de su capacidad. El presente estudio se plantea investigar, por un lado, cuáles son las actitudes del profesorado valenciano hacia el alumnado de alta capacidad y sus necesidades a partir del análisis de sus creencias y, por otro, conocer el impacto de la formación recibida sobre estas actitudes. En esta investigación han participado un total de 1176 docentes de la Comunidad Valenciana. El instrumento utilizado para llevar a cabo esta investigación ha sido un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc. Los resultados indican que la actitud del profesorado hacia la alta capacidad resulta más positiva entre el profesorado de menor edad y con menor tiempo trabajado. También el profesorado de infantil y primaria en comparación con el de niveles superiores. En cambio, la formación recibida no parece tener un gran impacto en sus creencias. Por lo tanto, la concreción de la formación no debería subestimar los factores ambientales, y muy especialmente las representaciones sociales, vinculadas con las diferentes generaciones.

Authors: Paranoan Anissa , Paranoan Anelsa
Published: April 2024

Background: The pathology of COVID-19 involves a dysregulation of the adaptive immune system, with hematological abnormalities being frequently reported in affected patients since the onset of the pandemic. Specifically, leukocyte differentials in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals often exhibit neutrophilia, lymphopenia, and morphology alterations. This study aims to serve a comprehensive systematic review to examine the role of leukocyte differential, lymphocyte count, and CPD parameters to evaluate SARS-COV2 in literatures of the last 10 years.

Methods: The review adhered to PRISMA 2020 standards and analyzed full-text English literature from 2014 to 2024. It excluded editorials, review papers from the same journal, and submissions lacking a DOI. Literature sources included PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar.

Result: A total of 937 articles were retrieved from online databases (PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink and Google Scholar). After three rounds of screening, five articles directly relevant to the systematic review were selected for full-text reading and analysis.

Conclusion: The comprehensive assessment of leukocyte count, lymphocyte count, and cell population data provides invaluable insights into the immune dysregulation and disease severity in COVID-19 infection. Understanding the intricate interplay between these hematological parameters can guide clinicians in early detection, risk stratification, and tailored therapeutic interventions for patients battling COVID-19.
Antioxidant a Feed Additive: Unravelling the Impact of Antioxidants Supplementation on Productivity and Wellness in Animals
Authors: S. Gurusaran  , P. Lokesh  , M. Naresh  , M. Hariharan  , A. Varun
Published: April 2024

The global effects of climate change are among the most significant and pressing concerns for the coming decades. The demand for animal products has been expanding as a result of the rapid increase in the global population, rising income levels, and shifting lifestyles. Due to these conditions, there is a rise in the diversity of animal production. While the livestock sector is managing these difficulties, it has also significantly increased the dangers associated with climate change. Multiple etiological factors are involved in oxidative stress, including high humidity, sun radiation, wind speed, and ambient temperature. Oxidative stress compromises animal health and productivity, exhibits numerous chronic inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders, and also possesses carcinogenic properties. Components of animal feed include proteins, lipids, and other organic substances that, on exposure to free radicals, become rancid, lose their nutritional value, and produce toxic substances that damage animal health. Antioxidants are capable of neutralizing the oxidants from metabolism and alleviating the oxidative damage that can be obtained from nutrition, while others are created as byproducts of bodily metabolism. They are broadly classified as natural and synthetic antioxidants. The popular antioxidants used in animal feed are ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, trace minerals (copper, zinc, selenium, etc.), and various plant-derived compounds such as flavonoids and carotenoids. This article focuses on understanding the effects of antioxidants and oxidative stress, including their types and impacts on the various systems of the body.

Published: April 2024

Background: Marburg virus disease (MARV) is a highly virulent disease that presents a significant threat to public health. First identified in 1967, MARV has since manifested sporadically across various regions, with varying consequences. This systematic review aims to collate and analyze epidemiological data to understand the impact of MARV globally.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to synthesize data from past outbreaks to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of MARV, understand its transmission dynamics, and assess the effectiveness of response strategies.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search across several academic databases including MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, up until August 2023. Studies were included if they reported the total number of cases and fatalities during MARV outbreaks. The meta-analysis focused on case fatality rates (CFRs) and seroprevalence measurements. Data from health ministries, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used to verify the findings.
Results: The review identified 16 studies for inclusion. The reported case fatality rates varied significantly across different outbreaks, with Angola (2006) reporting the highest number of cases (252) and deaths (227). The recent outbreak in Ghana (2023) indicated an uptick in both case numbers (40) and CFR (87.3%). The containment of an outbreak in Equatorial Guinea by June 2023 highlights the effectiveness of international cooperation and robust health systems.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the Marburg virus remains a critical concern for global health, particularly in regions with previous outbreaks. The data underscore the necessity for improved public health preparedness and response strategies in high-risk areas to mitigate future outbreaks.

Authors: Ayu Astina Beby , Adrian Qadhli Jafar , Pasha Donaya
Published: April 2024

Sam Cell is a counter business where sales are still done manually without the help of technology. Sam Cell's sales only cover the area around the counter and are not yet widespread in all regions, so income is still relatively small compared to other counter businesses. Sam Cell also doesn't have a good promotional system to increase sales. So this research has sales innovation through application design. Therefore, to achieve this goal, the user centered design method was chosen in designing the Mykonter application which focuses on user convenience (usability) and satisfaction (satisfaction) with the application design. The user centered design method consists of 4 iterative stages which can be used to strengthen innovation, solve a problem and help understand user needs so as to provide the right solution. The results obtained from user validation when using the Prototype are the conclusion that the application design has met the benchmark criteria, by obtaining a user satisfaction level of 53.5 points, where these points have met the criteria rules for measuring the System Usability Scale so that this application design can be developed by the development team to serve as a basis for building a Mykonter application design.

The core principles of sustainable tourism are the preservation and enhancement of the natural, historical, or cultural assets of the area and the promotion of historical and culturally-related activities. Developing the tourism industry is a strategy that residential areas can use to diversify their economy sustainably. The growth of specialty tourism, which is entirely centered on the resources of the residential areas, contributes to the enhancement and diversification of the tourism offer in these places, including resident tourism, which is one of its subsets. Using the Tourist Park at the Pakusari Final Processing Site as an example, this study aims to highlight the significance of sustainable development for older residential areas by increasing tourism-related activities that will optimize the industry’s positive effects on the environment, society, and culture. The dialectical cognition method and a systematic approach serve as the foundation for this study. Empirical methods, such as observation, content analysis, visual field inspection, and expedition methods—are used in this research. This study led to the development of an approach to the idea of a “tourist park” and the identification of the primary attractions that bring visitors to this particular location. An analysis is conducted on worldwide patterns in the conversion of residential areas for tourism at final processing facilities. Systematizing information regarding final processing facilities allows for the diagnosis of their suitability for the tourism industry. The diagnosis supports the employment of different residential facilities in thematic tourism programs, as demonstrated by the actual outcomes of the tourism activities.

The professions of pharmacy and social work are not generally assumed to directly collaborate in patient care; however, these professions are complementary. Health and wellbeing outcomes are significantly improved when care is managed by an interprofessional team that communicates and collaborates to ensure all aspects of care are effectively managed. The creation of educational opportunities for students to practice working together provides enhanced educational experiences and leads to their success as professionals. Pharmacy and social work faculty developed an interprofessional education activity specifically aimed at integrative student learning. Faculty and students based on various islands throughout the state of Hawai‘i and the US territory of Guam participated in the experience. The case study encouraged interprofessional teamwork and collaboration. The case study also challenged students to share profession-specific knowledge with each other. Mean evaluation scores were compared between hybrid and fully online platforms. Evaluation scores were high and at least as good or higher in the fully online exercise compared to the hybrid exercises. Using the 20-item pre-post format, Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey, results indicated statistically significant improvements in scores for all questions and domains (all P<.001). When hybrid training and fully online training were compared, there were no significant differences in pre scores, but post domain scores were significantly higher in students who experienced fully online training. This interprofessional case-based activity successfully promoted interprofessional learning and collaboration. Introducing learners to this type of collaborative practice while in school is critical for future collaboration in the workforce
Foot-amulets: a possible amuletic value
Authors: Mordà Barbara
Published: April 2024

A number of foot-shaped objects have been found in Bronze Age graves in the region of Messará, Crete. Previous scholars have suggested they may be amulets or talismans. One hypothesis advanced in the late 1960s proposed that they gave protection from poisonous snakes bites and were connected to the Minoan Snake Goddess cult. This paper reports on a new interpretative hypothesis for these objects based on an analysis of ancient sources, and paleontological and herpetological research. It also draws attention to analogous findings from Egyptian contexts, contemporary to those of Minoan Crete, to search for possible origins and typological relationships for the so called foot-amulets.

‘More than conquerors’ (Rom 8:37): Paul’s Gospel and the Augustan Triumphal Arches of the Greek East and Latin West
Authors: Harrison James R.
Published: April 2024

This paper investigates the social and theological import of Romans against the iconography of the Augustan arches, focusing on Paul’s indebtedness to Greeks and barbarians, the reconciliation of enemies, the victory of Christ on behalf of believers, and his rule over the nations. D.C. Lopez and B. Kahl investigated the iconographic evidence of Aphrodisias and Pergamon when discussing the political implications of Paul’s gospel in the Roman province of Asia. Paul visited neither city, so arguments about the apostle’s interaction with the imperial ideology of ‘victory’ depends more on the ubiquity of the Julio-Claudian propaganda than on any contact Paul might have had with those specific monuments. The Augustan arches throughout the Empire stereotypically depict the humiliation of barbarians at the sites of Pisidian Antioch, a city visited by Paul (Acts 13:14-50), as well as at La Turbie, Glanum, Carpentras and the triple arch at the Roman Forum. However, there were other iconographic motifs on the arches that conflicted with the relentless triumphal ideology of Augustus. They articulated an alternate vision of social relations between conqueror and conquered.
