Published: December 2023

Jati Perumnas Village is one of the working areas of the Kalumata Community Health Center which is located in South Ternate District. Based on data in PMB Bd. The number of births in 2022 will be 14 people and 5 cases will be referred to due to prolonged labor. At the time of delivery, part of the mother's back was rubbed, but no assistance or counseling was given about the importance of oxytocin massage for pregnant women in the third trimester. To overcome this problem, the service provides assistance to pregnant women in the third trimester and the people closest to the pregnant mother who are birthing companions (husband, parents, in-laws, etc.) in carrying out oxytocin massage. The target partners for this service are third trimester pregnant women and birth companions. The results of the service are increased knowledge, the ability to perform oxytocin massage increases for the companion. The person who does the massage is the companion, but if the pregnant woman doesn't know, she will not ask for a massage so that there is synergy between the pregnant mother and her companion. Birth companions are prepared to be independent in massaging and also strengthen pregnant women's knowledge that massage is needed to facilitate the birth process later.

Tiempo transcurrido desde la primera consulta al inicio del tratamiento, en pacientes oncológicos pediátricos.
Authors: Guerrero Quiroz Enmanuel Isidoro
Published: December 2023

Antecedentes: el cáncer es una de las principales causas de muerte en niños y adolescentes alrededor del mundo. Retardar el inicio de su tratamiento puede influir negativamente en la supervivencia.

Objetivo: determinar el tiempo transcurrido desde la primera consulta al inicio de tratamiento (TTPC), en pacientes oncológicos pediátricos (POP), en asociación con otras variables.

Metodología: serie de casos. Se incluyeron pacientes de 1 a 14 años, tratados en un hospital oncológico de Sudamérica (período 2009-2018). La variable resultado fue TTPC. Otras variables de interés fueron: variables biodemográficas, tipo de cáncer y unidad de referencia.

Se aplicó estadística descriptiva (porcentajes, medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión) y analítica (comparación de promedios, t-test para muestras independientes y ANOVA de un factor para comparación de más de tres promedios).

Resultados: fueron estudiados 252 pacientes (54.8% hombres), con un promedio de edad de 6.9 años. El 50% procedió de la provincia donde se encuentra el hospital oncológico y las leucemias fueron el tipo de cáncer más común (64.3%). El médico y/o clínica particular, fueron el primer contacto médico (52.3%) y la unidad de referencia (25.7%) la más frecuente. El TTPC fue significativamente menor cuando los pacientes acudieron de la provincia donde se ubica el hospital (32.6 días) y cuando tenían un diagnóstico de leucemia (32.1 días) (p<0.05). El TTPC fue 41.2 días.

Conclusiones: el TTPC en POP se encuentra dentro de lo recomendado para los países en vías de desarrollo, siendo menor en pacientes con leucemia, y en quienes habitan en la provincia donde funciona el hospital.

Published: December 2023

Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente en quien se diagnóstica inicialmente de anemia crónica deficitaria y recibe tratamientos sustitutivos con hierro, sin embargo, al persistir con la misma y sumarse otros datos bioquímicos, la verdadera enfermedad que escondía nos lleva a reflexionar sobre la importancia de un diagnóstico pausado en el manejo de una patología tan frecuente como es la anemia.  Cuando se analizó en su conjunto los datos clínicos y bioquímicos se llegó al diagnóstico definitivo de mieloma múltiple, pero, la paciente ya presentaba compromiso en órganos blanco sobre todo a nivel renal por lo que el tratamiento usado fue más conservador y al momento su pronóstico es estable pero reservado
De la Unidad de Propósito y Dirección en Materia del Grupo Empresarial en Colombia
Authors: Córdoba Acosta Pablo Andrés
Published: December 2023

La unidad de propósito y dirección es un elemento o requisito configurador del grupo empresarial en el derecho colombiano, de naturaleza muy diversa y probablemente con efectos diferentes y más profundos que el otro elemento que exige el derecho colombiano para la existencia del grupo, es decir la subordinación o control. En efecto, la unidad de propósito y dirección, como facultad legítima que debe ejercerse dentro de los límites señalados expresamente por el ordenamiento societario, confiere vida legítima al denominado interés de grupo que, por lo general, se sobrepone o prevalece sobre el tradicional interés social que incluso podrá ser sacrificado en situaciones puntuales en los que el interés de la empresa de grupo así lo reclama, desvaneciéndose probablemente el problema del conflicto de intereses y existiendo mecanismos, como el de las ventajas compensatorias, para dotar de soluciones a los casos específicos que reclaman el acatamiento de la Ley teniendo en cuenta la realidad de la empresa.

A esquizofrenia em crianças e adolescentes é uma síndrome que consiste em sintomas positivos e negativos de psicose que impactam no desenvolvimento e funcionamento cognitivo. Esse estudo objetiva relatar um caso de esquizofrenia na infância, demonstrando seus aspectos clínicos e diagnósticos. Paciente de 12 anos, sexo feminino, apresentou-se com sintomas psicóticos graves, como alucinações visuais e auditivas, delírios persecutórios e tentativa de suicídio por medicamentos, além de crises de ansiedade, insônia, irritabilidade e humor deprimido. Diante da clínica preocupante, suspeitou-se de esquizofrenia. O tratamento foi iniciado com antipsicótico atípico, para abordar os sintomas psicóticos, como alucinações e delírios. Além disso, foi prescrito um antidepressivo tricíclico para aliviar a ansiedade, o humor hipotímico e a insônia. Houve uma melhora gradual nos sintomas psicóticos, na ansiedade e no humor e a ideação suicida diminuiu significativamente. É importante destacar que o tratamento da esquizofrenia é um processo contínuo, portanto a paciente continuará sendo monitorada. Como conclusão, o estudo ressalta a importância de uma abordagem integrada e precoce para melhorar a qualidade de vida de pacientes jovens que enfrentam desafios psiquiátricos complexos.

Published: December 2023

A pneumonia necrotizante (PN) caracteriza-se pela lesão extensa do parênquima pulmonar, mediante a ação de enzimas proteolíticas e resposta inflamatória exacerbada diante um processo infeccioso. Apesar de rara, tem-se observado aumento no número de casos nos últimos anos, tendo alta morbidade.  Paciente do sexo masculino, 4 anos, com diagnóstico prévio de pneumonia viral, admitido no hospital com tosse, febre alta e dor torácica. Na admissão apresentava-se prostrado, febril e taquipneico. À ausculta pulmonar, notou-se murmúrio vesicular diminuído em de hemitórax direito. Foi realizada radiografia de tórax que constatou broncopneumonia associada a derrame pleural à direita, sendo introduzida antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro e efetuada drenagem de hemitórax. Durante a internação, o paciente cursou com melhora parcial clínica e radiológica, mantendo febre alta. A PN foi constatada após tomografia computadorizada (TC), e optou-se por tratamento cirúrgico do quadro. Geralmente, a patologia possui evolução arrastada e hospitalização prolongada, podendo evoluir com complicadores como efusão pleural, fístula broncopleural e sepse. Todavia, quando devidamente reconhecida e tratada, tem boa sobrevida global. Dessa forma, percebe-se que a PN é uma complicação grave, sendo a literatura ainda carente de dados, fazendo-se necessário maiores estudos sobre o tema. Assim, esse relato  tem como princípios auxiliar no reconhecimento e manejo precoce, além de fomentar novas pesquisas.

O CA (câncer) de mama possui ampla variação morfológica e molecular, sendo uma doença maligna e heterogênea1. Representa a neoplasia mais incidente no Brasil no sexo feminino, excluindo-se o câncer de pele não melanoma1,2. No sexo masculino representa 1% do número total de casos da doença2. P.P.S., 56 anos, masculino chegou ao serviço de mastologia devido ao laudo de biópsia de pele de mama direita, que apresentava neoplasia maligna indiferenciada, infiltrando epiderme e derme, com área de ulceração e margens livres. À imunohistoquímica era sugestivo de CA de mama invasivo de derme e epiderme e apresentava RE (Receptor de Estrogênio) positivo. Ao exame físico, identificou-se espessamento na região do complexo areolopapilar em mama direita. A conduta contou com início de TMX (tamoxifeno) e encaminhamento para MMG (mamografia), a qual teve resultado normal. Na USG (ultrassonografia) foi detectado espessamento retroareolar de mama direita. Diante das alterações no exame de imagem foi realizada PAAF (Punção Aspirativa com Agulha Fina) da lesão, detectando um CDI (Carcinoma Ductal Invasivo) de Grau 2. À imunohistoquímica, conclui-se carcinoma do tipo Luminal B. Posteriormente, foi programada mastectomia radical modificada. O estadiamento pós-operatório da lesão confirmou tumor pT4bpN1aM0 e doença de Paget associada. Dessa maneira, o relato apresenta um CA incomum em homem, fazendo-se necessário o conhecimento da doença para um atendimento adequado e uma conduta segura e efetiva.
DUPLA PRISIONIZAÇÃO

Published: December 2023

Este trabalho trata de uma reflexão sobre a condição humana dos agentes penitenciários que, pela grande demanda de trabalho e insalubres situações cotidianas, são condicionados ao processo de prisionização. O estudo visa entender como o serviço público de agente prisional afeta os trabalhadores no sistema carcerário e para além dele (trabalho, saúde mental, desempenho e desafios) tendo o seguinte questionamento como base: em que se assemelham os presos e os trabalhadores “não-presos” envolvidos no sistema penal ? Em linhas gerais, esta pesquisa se constitui qualitativa, utilizando revisão bibliográfica integrativa, construindo um texto reflexivo-teórico. Dentre os autores que embasaram o estudo se destacam Thompson (2002); Goffman (2015); Moreira (2020); Junior (1996) e Silva et al. (2022). Por meio desta pesquisa pode-se evidenciar muitos aspectos da prisionização e refletir como esse processo ocorre e impacta aqueles que trabalham em favor da instituição que prende. Este artigo pode auxiliar nos estudos sociais e aprofundamentos sobre o controle civilizatório, bem como, dar visibilidade aos indivíduos que aparentam invisíveis, tanto para a sociedade civil, quanto para a classe da guarda.

Nesta pesquisa tratamos da aplicação do conceito de rizoma de Deleuze e Guattari na educação. Nossa questão central é: Seria possível adotar uma abordagem rizomática na educação, desafiando estruturas tradicionais de ensino e promovendo a diversidade de perspectivas? Quanto à metodologia utilizamos uma abordagem de análise crítica para explorar os princípios do rizoma, como conexão, heterogeneidade, multiplicidade e ruptura e examinar como eles podem ser aplicados à educação. Também faz uso de citações de teóricos relevantes para embasar o argumento. Queremos sobretudo prismar a abordagem rizomática na educação, pensando tendo em vista compreender suas potencialidades e destacando como ela pode promover a interdisciplinaridade, a tolerância à diversidade de saberes e uma visão mais plural do conhecimento. Nesta investigação pudemos entender que, o que poderíamos chamar de uma abordagem rizomática, pensada no âmbito da educação, oferece uma perspectiva inovadora que desafia as estruturas tradicionais de ensino. Ao promover a interdisciplinaridade e a diversidade de perspectivas, ela prepara os alunos para um mundo caracterizado pela incerteza e mudança. Reconhecendo que não há uma única verdade indiscutível, essa abordagem enfatiza a importância do diálogo e da construção coletiva do conhecimento, contribuindo para uma formação mais aberta e inclusiva.

Metodología para el análisis del proyecto de concursos de vivienda desde la perspectiva de los modos de habitar contemporáneos.
Authors: Trueba Alfonso , Díaz Varela María José , Tomadoni Micaela
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo tiene como objeto el estudio de los concursos de arquitectura de vivienda, a partir de articular los marcos teóricos del proceso proyectual y los modos de habitar. Se busca generar herramientas de sistematización para el análisis del proyecto de vivienda mediante la aplicación de categorías para su evaluación. Se recurre a un método cualitativo de análisis de la vivienda a partir de estudiar, relevar, analizar, comparar e identificar las características principales de los diferentes prototipos de vivienda realizados. Esta herramienta posibilita valorar las distintas variables a través de una síntesis gráfica y observaciones cualitativas. La importancia de entender a los concursos como un objeto de estudio relevante, radica en poder analizar la vivienda desde diferentes perspectivas, que incluyen a los participantes y habitantes de las mismas. Contrastar el proceso proyectual y su relación con el contexto teórico-social en cada caso, permite interpretar la complejidad de la problemática habitacional y generar respuestas acordes a las demandas sociales.
Algoritmo de redes neuronales como herramienta de asesoramiento en la ciberatribución
Authors: Lopez Claudio
Published: December 2023

La Ciberatribución es una parte fundamental de la ciberdefensa de un Estado. La tarea de asignar un responsable de una ciberagresion (y sobre todo si este lo constituye otro Estado) es realmente complicada teniendo en cuenta el avance tecnológico de herramientas afines a los objetivos de los ciberatacantes. Esta actividad (o sea la Ciberatribucion) es fundamental para crear una verdadera disuasión que desaliente la realización de los mencionados ataques. Por otro lado, la ciencia informática ha desarrollado de manera vertiginosa, la teoría y el empleo de cientos de herramientas de inteligencia artificial que se ven en nuestra vida diaria, y en las que se usan redes neuronales. Las redes neuronales se nutren de miles de datos y sus resultados son más que aceptables para la optimización, clasificación o predicción. Las fuentes de ingreso de esos datos pueden ser totalmente variadas y de acuerdo con su cantidad se puede afirmar que se logrará mayor o menor precisión en la salida. Se propone demostrar que las redes neuronales en el contexto de los procedimientos de la Ciberatribucion pueden ser empleadas con éxito como una herramienta de asesoramiento en la determinación del origen de un ataque cibernético a una infraestructura que posea una función crítica. Si bien existen estudios referidos a este tema, la particularidad de este trabajo es la de inscribirse en el ámbito de ciberdefensa propio en un todo de acuerdo con la legislación nacional vigente

A primeira tradução para o português do livro Science and Human Behavior(S&HB), de 1953, foi publicada em 1967 no Brasil. O trabalho de tradução ocorreu em respostaa uma necessidade premente, na época, de produção de material para as disciplinasdo então novo curso de psicologia da UnB, concorrendo com outras demandas de traduçãoatribuídas aos tradutores. Diante desse contexto, não seria surpreendente se houvesse falhasna tradução de alguns termos. Porém, mesmo com mais de dez edições, uma revisão datradução ainda não foi feita. Este artigo ilustra a necessidade de uma tradução revisada dolivro por meio do exame do conceito de força do comportamento operante, que desapareceuna tradução para o português. Além de indicar como ocorreu esse desaparecimento, discutiremosalgumas dificuldades dele decorrentes, tanto para diferenciar os efeitos de processoscomportamentais básicos, quanto para enfrentar questões epistemológicas relativas ao papelda teoria no sistema skinneriano. Uma vez que S&HB é o livro de Skinner mais citado naliteratura analítico-comportamental nacional, revisar essa obra seminal seria uma forma dehonrar o importante legado de tradução deixado pela primeira geração de analistas do comportamento.
Stosunki pomiędzy państwem a Kościołem w Kongo w okresie nowożytnym na podstawie zachowanych materiałów ikonograficznych. Zarys problematyki
Authors: Pawłowska Aneta , Piętek Robert
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest poszerzenie badań nad historią i kulturą Konga w okresie nowożytnym poprzez analizę wybranych źródeł ikonograficznych związanych z tym obszarem geograficznym od schyłku XVI do połowy XVIII w. Dzięki silnej infiltracji Konga przez portugalskich i włoskich podróżników oraz zakonników, będącej skutkiem postępującej chrystianizacji kraju, zachowało się bardzo dużo różnego typu źródeł, co wyróżnia Kongo spośród innych państw Afryki Subsaharyjskiej. Przyjęcie i zachowanie chrześcijaństwa było dobrowolną decyzją polityczną kongijskich władców. Dokumenty poddane analizie zostały wybrane ze względu na swój przełomowy charakter, jak też wysoką wartość artystyczną. Kolejną przesłanką do zagłębienia się w ikonografię Konga może być próba poszerzenia odbioru kultury Afryki, zwłaszcza zaś próba porzucenia europocentrycznych sposobów opisywania świata. Artykuł jest bogato ilustrowany.
Empires Old, New, Reincarnated and Imaginary: Economic Build-ups in Eurasia, China and Russia in Afghanistan Naval Build-ups in the South China Sea Region – Their Forecasted Outcomes
Authors: Jones David Arthur
Published: December 2023

Maritime friction among powers, great and small, has escalated in the “Near Seas” region, including East China, Yellow, and South China Seas, largely because China has militarized that region by constructing artificial islands, and then fortifying them. United States warships repeatedly have conducted “Freedom of Navigation Operations” (FOPs) in the region, as have British, Indian, and Japanese warships, with France joining that list in early 2021 also. At the same time, China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” streams economically across Eurasia, with rising debt. This paper will address the objectives of China, the West, and neighbouring Asian countries in terms of increasing, decreasing, or replacing tensions in the region, as “empires” old, new, reincarnated and imaginary converge to participate in this fray. Inevitably, risk prevails, opportunities do also, as once-proud empires such as Britain, France, Russia, and Japan join in to confound if not deter China in its transparent effort as a rising power to control shipping and land transportation in this strategic but fragile corridor that connects Europe and the Middle East with Asia, vital to transporting raw materials, particularly energy, Eastward, and finished products, especially electronics and solar panels, Westward. Crucial issues emerging at a critical time require immediate but careful rethinking of Asia in world politics. Although a pandemic has altered and delayed the course of trade in 2020 and 2021, this may be both blessing and curse, a blessing in the sense that emerging power houses in Asia as well as Oceana have endeavoured to commit more resources toward augmenting the traditional Western powers, motivating them to become stronger Allies of the West. On the other hand, a curse, to the extent the opportunity for conflict increases as it has unfolded in Afghanistan over the summer of 2021. Perhaps this will inspire a rapprochement with China and instil in China a realistic expectation of achieving economic growth in moderation over a gradual time in contrast to a growth spurt in the short term that would lead to conflict and set China back much as Japanese aggression before 1945 led to warfare ending in Japan’s defeat and Allied victory. A desired outcome such as this may be unlikely, however, given China’s reported inroads into Afghanistan, rising threats to Taiwan.
Proliferation of RTAs in the World Economy as a Consequence of the Crisis within the WTO – the Case of Agreements between the EU and ASEAN Countries
Authors: Majchrowska Elżbieta
Published: December 2023

The ever-expanding and progressive crisis in fulfilling its key roles by the World Trade Organization (WTO) is the main reason behind the proliferation of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) all over the world. The growing trend in this regard could also be observed in actions taken by the European Union. The EU’s current policy of diversification and intensification of trade relations involves mainly the conclusion of numerous Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). A clear tendency, in this context, is a special interest in markets of the Asia-Pacific region, owing to their enormous economic potential. Of particular note, in this context, are the bilateral agreements concluded with countries of the ASEAN group, which, as a whole, constitute EU’s third largest trading partner outside Europe. These agreements, leading towards restarting negotiations of the ambitious region-to-region FTA with ASEAN, are particularly significant to reinforcing EU’s position in this economically important area, also, in light of other crucial agreements concluded in the region, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) or the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).Ensuring better access to the dynamic ASEAN market is a priority for the EU. This region is critical to European economic interests, which was emphasized in the trade and investment strategy for the EU – “Trade for All,” presented in 2015.In the face of the multilateral crisis within the WTO, the EU, as the most active participant of RTAs in the world economy, will, therefore, concentrate on implementing its current policy and activities in this regard – negotiating RTAs. This solution, owing to its discriminatory nature, further complicates world trade, however, on the other hand, it grants the EU greater bargaining power. Changing this situation requires reforming the WTO and rebuilding the organization’s position in the world trade system.
Overlapping Regionalism in East Asia: A Critical Review on Mega-Free Trade Agreements
Authors: Ermeydan Burcu
Published: December 2023

Despite the existence of region-wide economic networks and the proliferation of regional cooperation processes in the 1990s and 2000s, East Asia is still one of the under-institutionalized regions in the world. In the absence of a single regional organization covering all regional states, the region is fragmented among regional organizations/groups, most of which geographically overlap due to multi-membership. In the literature on regionalism, this phenomenon has been recently conceptualized as “overlapping regionalism,” which has been observed worldwide. Indeed, East Asia constitutes a special example of overlapping regionalism with its current regional setting because of the high number of overlaps under regional organizations, initiatives, and agreements. Yet, the region has not been extensively examined in the emerging literature on overlapping regionalism. This paper aims to discuss overlapping regionalism in East Asia and its effects. It asks two central questions: why do regional states implement regional initiatives that geographically overlap, and how do overlapping regional initiatives affect regional states’ positions in the current setting of regional architecture in East Asia and vice versa? In order to answer these questions, it first proposes an analytical framework to examine overlapping regionalism. Later, it focuses on selected geographically overlapping free trade agreements like Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF). It evaluates political and economic factors and determinants of the emergence of these overlapping regional initiatives within the East Asian context. East Asia constitutes a distinctive example in terms of overlapping regional initiatives. It argues that rivalry among the big powers of the region, hedging strategies of middle and small powers, and the loosely-institutionalized structure of the regional governance are the primary reasons behind their emergence.
Postoperative analgesia and side effects of oral or injectable metamizole (dipyrone) in dogs and cats
Authors: Stadnicki Jakub , Raillard Mathieu
Published: December 2023

PICO Question
In dogs and cats after surgery, does the peri-operative administration of injectable or oral metamizole (dipyrone) as opposed to no intervention result in lower postoperative pain scores or higher incidence of side effects?
 
Clinical bottom line
Category of research
Treatment.
Number and type of study designs reviewed
Three prospective, randomised, blinded, clinical studies were critically reviewed.
Strength of evidence
Weak.
Outcomes reported
Variables assessed included: different pain assessment methods, metamizole dose required to reduce peri- and postoperative pain scores, changes in cardiovascular variables (heart rate, systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressure), changes in respiratory variables and variations in haematological and biochemical variables.
Conclusion
In healthy cats and dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy, the use of metamizole in the peri- and postoperative period was associated with some reduction in pain levels (i.e., lower pain score or reduced need for rescue analgesia). In dogs, metamizole alone provided insufficient analgesia. No study evaluating metamizole after orthopaedic surgery was found. No evidence suggested that using metamizole peri-operatively resulted in higher incidence of side effects.
 
How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Preparation and Properties of Polyacrylamide/ Titanium Oxide Hydrogels
Authors: Cao Zheng
Published: December 2023

In this study, using acrylamide (AAm) as monomer, potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as initiator, N, N, N’, N’-tetramethylethylenediamine as accelerator, and N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinking agents, titanium dioxide (TiO2) as inorganic enforcement fillers, the PAAm/TiO2 organic-inorganic composite hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties were prepared by free radical polymerization. The obtained hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), mechanical and swelling property tests. The experimental results show that PAAm/TiO2 organic-inorganic composite hydrogels were successfully synthesized, the mechanical property of the hydrogel was improved but the swelling ratio of the hydrogel was decreased due to the addition of TiO2.
Benzofuran Analogs of Amphetamine, Emerging Novel Psychoactive Substances in Colombia: A Narrative Review
Authors: Muñoz Erik García
Published: December 2023

The use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) is a growing phenomenon worldwide that harms user’s health and increases healthcare system costs. In September 2017, amphetamine-analog benzofurans (APB) were reported by the Sistema de Alertas Tempranas, a brach of Observatorio de Drogas de Colombia. At first, benzofurans use was globally reported as an adulterant of other psychoactive substances but, due its legal status, its easy commercialization and because of government and doctors did not know those substances; they have noticeably been growing as a drug of choice. In the face of this new threat, this review tries to expose information expecting it will help in these needs. A wide bibliographical review was made regarding pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics, clinical effects and toxicity, and marketing strategies about 4-APB, 5-APB and 6-APB.

Authors: Hayat Khezar
Published: December 2023

Addiction is a physical and psychological dependence of illicit drugs. Its burden is nearly 5.5 percent worldwide as per estimates of World Health Organization (WHO). Pakistan is a country of 193.2 million people and among them 8.9 million are drug users according to the United Nation. The drugs such as heroin and cannabis could be accessed easily in Pakistan and most of them come from Afghanistan which shares 75% of the world’s heroin. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is one of the provinces of Pakistan where 11% of the total population hooked on drugs mainly cannabis. The school based educational and awareness interventions could have long lasting impact to accomplish the dream of drug free Pakistan.
Divining Drug Court Success: Characteristics Predicting Graduation and Recidivism Across 34 Statewide Adult Drug Courts
Authors: Lochman John
Published: December 2023

Limitations from prior research on predictors of adult drug court graduation outcomes were addressed by examining the largest sample to-date of 3,062 participants from 34 rural and urban drug courts. Fifty-two percent of the participants successfully completed drug court. Two-year recidivism for the drug court graduates was low (16%). Graduates were more likely to be female, Caucasian, an older age, employed, have received at least a high-school education, to have a marital relationship, to not have engaged in suicidal behaviors, and to have primarily used marijuana instead of methamphetamine or opiates. No difference emerged among predictors in rural versus urban settings. In this unique study with a large sample and a multi-year recidivism period, graduates who recidivated were more likely to be younger, and to not have a driver’s license. Implications for tailoring of drug court treatment and case management plans are discussed.
A New Electromagnetic Technology as a Strategy to Help the Recovery of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Athletes: A Pilot Study
Authors: Pennati Beatrice Marina
Published: December 2023

Background: Because of its anatomical location, the knee joint has to sustain enormous forces during exercise and physical activity. One of the most frequent damage affecting ligaments in the lower body is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. Treatment may include rest and rehabilitation physical exercises. This study wanted to explore an alternative method for supporting ACL injury recovery using an electromagnetic device for young athletes. Methods: A total of 10 athletes, 4 females and 6 males, who had undergone ACL surgery for the first time were considered. They ranged from 15 to 22 years. Results: After two months of follow-up from the experiment starting time, our results showed for every patient an evident muscle tonification in both limbs. Conclusion: Our data showed that for athletes combining physical exercises with the electro-magnetic technology had led to a significant and positive improvement in muscle tone and strength without discomfort or side effects in patients after ACL surgery. A milder approach gives the athlete a gradual recovery and a variable intervention window based on the patient’s characteristics and personal needs. The device we used represents valuable and effective support that could be widely employed in the physiotherapy field.
Psychopharmacotherapy in Gambling Disorder

Published: December 2023

In recent years, there are differences in the definition of school bullying, and different definitions adapt to different subjects. School bullying occurs from time to time in all countries around the world. Learning from the existing experience and practices of other countries, especially the practices of developed countries, has a great effect on promoting the rule of law of school bullying.

Authors: CERTEL Bahadir
Published: December 2023

Tarihi yapılar ait oldukları dönemin kültürü, medeniyeti, sanatı ve toplumsal yapısı hakkında önemli bilgiler verirler. Ancak toplumsal veya teknolojik değişimlere ayak uyduramayan yapılar zamanla işlevlerini ve kullanıcılarını kaybederek âtıl duruma düşmekte ve bakımsız kalarak yok olma sürecine girmektedirler. Tarihi yapıların korunmasında yeni işlevle kullanımı oldukça etkili
bir koruma yöntemidir. Bu yöntemle tarihi yapıların özgün kimliğine, mimarisine ve konumuna uygun yeni ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda tekrar kullanıma açılması, bu yapıların düzenli bakımlarının yapılarak varlıklarını devam ettirmelerini sağlamakta ve aynı zamanda kültürel ve ekonomik faydalar üretmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Isparta kentinde bulunan Aya Yorgi Kilisesi’nin tarihsel
süreçte geçirdiği dönüşüm, yapının Isparta kent tarihindeki yeri ve yapının kullanıcıları, sosyal ve kültürel özellikleri, mimari nitelikleri ve mevcut durumu gibi nitelikleri nitel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Yapının mekânsal kurgusu, cephe özellikleri, iç mekanındaki mimari donatılar, bezemeleri, strüktürel yapısı ve kullanılan yapı malzemeleri gibi mimari bilgileri ve
korunmuşluk durumu, yapılan saha araştırmaları ve rölöve çalışmalarıyla tespit edilerek belgelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir. Yapının mimarisini ve kimliğini oluşturan tüm bu özellikleri göz önüne alınarak bu değerli kültür mirasının gelecek nesillere aktarılabilmesi için sürdürülebilir koruma anlayışının oldukça etkili bir enstrümanı olan yeniden işlevlendirme yoluyla korunmasına yönelik öneriler
getirilmiştir.
Demographic Dynamics and Social Transformation in the EAEU
Authors: Dobrokhleb Valentina
Published: December 2023

The paper studies demographic changes characterizing new trends in population reproduction in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which differ significantly in the level and rate of population aging. The purpose of the research is to develop proposals for improving social institutions aimed at the development of the EAEU in the context of changes in the age structure of the population. The Eurasian Economic Union is a relatively new but rapidly developing regional integration organization, in a certain sense forming the core of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). At the same time, the transition to subsequent integration stages is impossible without the development of social institutions of the EAEU. Currently, the development of social programs and norms for the formation of common social values is not included in the tasks of regional unions in the post-Soviet space or is considered only in passing. Nevertheless, for further integration it becomes essential to take into account demographic trends as factors in the development of the EAEU. The article shows that over the past six years (2017–2022) in the field of natural reproduction, demographic trends in the member countries of the Union had different directions. The greatest impact on the demographic development of the EAEU is exerted by changes in the population of the Russian Federation, although in recent years there has been a slight decrease in the share of Russia in the total population of the Union. The population of the EAEU countries has significant differences in age structure, however, all five member countries of the Union are affected by the process of demographic aging. The article presents a number of proposals aimed at including demographic changes as a factor in the development of the EAEU. These include the preparation of a comprehensive program of interaction on general humanitarian issues, primarily in the field of education and the preservation of cultural values as the basis for the connection between generations.

Reproductive Behavior of Migrants from Central Asian Countries in the Moscow Agglomeration
Authors: Osadchaya Galina , Yudina Tatiana , Kocherbaeva Ainura
Published: December 2023

Most migrants arrive in the Moscow agglomeration from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. In the absence of statistical data on the contribution of immigrants to the registered birth rate, the study sets a goal, based on the results of sociological research, to analyze the reproductive behavior of migrants from these countries. The article provides an analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the problems of migrant fertility and substantiates the lack of knowledge of the reproductive behavior of migrants from Central Asian countries. A working definition of the category “reproductive behavior of migrants” is proposed. To develop theoretical and methodological approaches and tools for measuring the reproductive behavior of migrants from Central Asian countries, general methodological techniques were used, as well as methods of working with documents, analyzing statistics and surveying. The analysis of the reproductive behavior of migrants is based on the results of a questionnaire survey of citizens of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, conducted in February– March 2023. The survey of Muscovites is included in the research program for a comparative assessment of the reproductive behavior of migrants from Central Asian countries and residents of Moscow and the Moscow Region. The reproductive behavior of migrants is considered based on the characteristics of marital status, children, attitudes of reproductive behavior, the system of life values, and the value orientations of migrants from Central Asia that influence the reproductive behavior of migrants. The results of the study can be used by authorities in preparing and implementing a set of measures aimed at the demographic well-being of the capital. The study is not representative in nature, since the selection of migrant respondents is possible only based on a non-random sample using a targeted selection method based on three criteria: citizenship, place of residence and work, age.

Purpose: To show the need to limit the currents consumed from the contact network and to justify the possibility of such a restriction using a lithium-ion traction battery as an additional source of electrical energy. To consider the possibility of limiting the impact on the contact network by reducing the current consumption on trolleybuses with increased autonomous travel when using a lithium-ion traction battery. Methods: The use of known analytical expressions, and the results of rides obtained during the operation of battery-assisted trolleybuses with increased autonomous travel on city lines and the results of test rides of a trolleybus with increased autonomous travel, in which the scheme of the power part of the traction drive uses a traction battery as an additional source of energy. Results: It is shown that the scheme of the power part of the traction drive proposed in the work allows limiting the current consumed from the contact network, it is additionally revealed that with such implementation, when braking the trolleybus, there is no increase in voltage in the contact network. Practical significance: It is shown that the proposed scheme of the power part of the traction drive makes it possible to limit the impact on the contact network by reducing the current consumed and, as a consequence, reducing voltage ripples in the contact network.
