Authors: Rudzkienė Vitalija
Published: March 2024

One of the most sensitive indicators of a moral and social state of society is criminality. The paper examines the criminality trends in Lithuania in a respect of the East European countries.Dynamic series allows to decrease differences in crime registration systems and to distinguish the main trends in the rate of criminality. General tendencies of criminality in Lithuania are the same as in Bulgaria, Hungary or Poland. The analysis of differences between the criminality in Lithuania and the average criminality rates in Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland is fulfilled using linear regression model.

The result was obtained, based on General Lemma 6.1 [2] by joining the methods of characteristic functions and cumulants. The work broadens theory of sums of random variables [1] and in special case improves S.A. Book [5] results of sums of random variables with weights.
Oral health in emerging countries and suggestions for adjusted care strategies
Authors: Saekel Rüdiger
Published: March 2024

Objective: Investigation into the oral health status of selected emerging countries from different regions of the world, so as to capture a broad spectrum of oral health reality prevailing in fast-growing middle-income countries, the aim being to present helpful steps towards adjusted strategies that improve the dental health of the entire population. Method: Using a composite indicator, the Dental Health Index, the oral health of entire populations is measured and compared with the aid of these quantifiable results. The study relies on existing data, where possible, from national representative surveys. Results: The best performer is the upper middle-income country of China. It is followed by India and Vietnam, two lower middle-income states, which placed second and third, although the two latter populations are largely untouched by professional dental activities. This finding is scientifically challenging to explain and needs further investigation. The relative wealthiest country, Malaysia, ranks in the sixth place while Brazil, with one of the highest dentist per capita ratios in the world, places only eighth, just ahead of the Philippines which ranks last in the study. Conclusion: Over the last decade, the awareness and the willingness shown by all countries to improve their precarious oral care situations resulted in the successful implementation of dental care strategies. However, the main obstacles - the widespread shortage of dentists and the poor oral health awareness among the population, particularly those living in poor and/or rural areas - can only be overcome by development-stage adjusted strategies. The broad use of teledentistry (TD) and priority education and training of mid-level dental professionals could be promising instruments for solving these shortcomings in a manageable period of time and under limited financial resources. To attract additional financial and technical resources and expertise, public/private partnerships should also be encouraged.
Disposal of the Dead in Recently Abandoned Settlement Areas — an Evidence of the Siege of Olbia Pontica by Zopyrion?
Authors: Fornasier Jochen , Kuzmishchev O. H. , Ivchenko A. V.
Published: March 2024

The present contribution focuses on extraordinary features with human remains of the 4th century BC which have been discovered to the west of the core city area of Olbia Pontica. There are numerous multiple burials within former settlement structures. The deceased were put in them without any grave goods, mainly in irregular positions and in some cases with obvious traces of external violence. Based on the archaeological finding, which is presented here for the first time exhaustively, we review the suggestion of previous research: a possible connection of these features with human remains with the siege of the city by the Macedonian general Zopyrion, which has been recorded in literature.
Chortomlyk amphora as a modification of golden “vorvorkas”: the scythian tradition in a component of a masterpiece of greek-scythian torevtics
Authors: Babenko L. I.
Published: March 2024

Regarding the possible functional purpose of gold “vorvorkas” (cone-shaped pendants) — one of the mysterious categories of Scythian material culture, many options have been proposed. Some researchers suggest the possibility of their use as ritual items. In this case, it makes sense to pay attention to the Chortomlyk silver amphora, which, in terms of shape, material, manufacturing technique, character of decoration, archaeological context, and finally, functional purpose, finds more or less exact matches among gold cones. Thus, the design of the amphora consists of several “vorvorkas” connected to each other in different ways. Like a number of cone-shaped pendants, the amphora was part of a table “service” made up of several vessels. The plots of the decoration of the golden cones — scenes of tearing, plant compositions or decorations with the participation of anthropomorphic characters correspond to the ornamentation of the Chortomlyk amphora. Decors of “vorvorkas” and amphorae are reproduced in the tradition of “inverted” compositions. Cones, amphorae and also rhytons belong to the category of “flowing” dishes. A possible evidence of the connection of the amphora with the golden cones is the image of a “vorvorka” on the gorytos of one of the characters on the middle frieze of the amphora. This cone can be considered as a certain hint made by the torevtic master, a kind of allusion to the origin of the idea of the Chortomlyk amphora itself. Thus, just like the pectoral from the Tovsta Mohyla in relation to the traditional Scythian jewelry — hryvna (torque), the Chortomlyk amphora appears as a kind of complicated modification of cones. This, in turn, allows proposing several new options for the possible use of these pendants — for pouring of wine from amphorae into drinking vessels, as a volume measure that allowed controlling the distribution of wine, or as a wine purification device that provided its filtration and was associated with the algorithm of the ancient ritual for purifying soma (haoma) and preparing the sacred drink of immortality — amrita.
Determinantes de salud mental y su relación con indicadores académicos en Educación Superior Técnico- Profesional durante la pandemia del COVID-19
Authors: Gaete Juan León , Marshall Pablo , Parra Andrea
Published: March 2024

Los problemas de salud mental tomaron mayor importancia en la pandemia, donde adolescentes y jóvenes fueron uno de los grupos más afectados. Este estudio examina los factores que influyen en los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión de estudiantes de primer año en una institución técnico-profesional, y cómo estos síntomas afectaron sus indicadores académicos en pandemia. En este estudio participaron 18.753 alumnos de distintas áreas disciplinares. Mediante un modelo probit ordenado, se identificaron factores asociados a una mayor preva- lencia de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión. Entre estos factores se encontraron: ser mujer, tener una menor edad, ser de nacionalidad chilena, tener algún tipo de discapacidad, no tener responsabilidad de menores a cargo, tener un espacio inadecuado para estudiar, o, debido a la pandemia, haber experimentado una dis-minución de ingresos o tener un familiar enfermo. En un segundo análisis, encontramos que mientras más alta es la sintomatología, mayor es el efecto perjudicial en el rendimiento académico. Estos hallazgos pueden ser de utilidad para enfocar las estrategias de apoyo de salud mental.

Published: March 2024

Desarrollar habilidades de colaboración es clave en la formación universitaria. Queremos que los estudiantes dialoguen, discutan y lleguen a acuerdos desde el conocimiento de la disciplina, especialmente en situaciones controver- siales. Desarrollar simultáneamente habilidades de colaboración y conocimiento disciplinar no es sencillo. Una posible vía para es promoviendo en los estudiantes la argumentación deliberativa (Felton et al., 2009) (contrastar y evaluar puntos de vistas diversos y alternativos para llegar a la mejor solución posible). El problema es que en educación superior hay poco desarrollo de esta literatura, en su lugar encontramos las metodologías de enseñanza activa. Sostenemos que ambas perspectivas no son contradictorias, y pueden nutrirse entre sí. Pero ¿Cómo hacerlo?, particularmente ¿Qué características tendría que tener un material, en el marco de una metodología de enseñanza activa, para promover tanto construcción de conocimiento como deliberación? Describimos un (instructivo) que aborda ambos objetivos. Señalamos explícitamente las secciones relevantes y su fundamento teórico-empírico. Específicamente, sostenemos la importancia de andamiar el diálogo de los estudiantes para promover procesos de construcción de conocimiento, anticipando también aquellos que no contribuyen a tal fin. Creemos que esta presentación puede contribuir a visibilizar e imaginar el rol del lenguaje en las actividades de enseñanza aprendizaje.

Published: March 2024

Implementar estrategias que permitan buscar soluciones pertinentes a problemáticas del entorno desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria y colaborativa es un desafío, especialmente en la formación del profesorado. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo describir las percepciones de estudiantes de primer año de Pedagogía en Educación Diferencial respecto a la valoración que otorgan a la metodología de estudio de caso implementada en un taller que integra tres asignaturas. Bajo un enfoque cualitativo con diseño fenomenológico, se aplicaron 5 grupos focales y un formulario online a un total de 35 estudiantes. Los resultados dan cuenta que los estudiantes identifican contar con las habilidades declaradas en los resultados de aprendizaje, establecen una vinculación entre las competencias desarrolladas en taller integrado con el perfil de egreso y perciben haber desarrollado las competencias específicas y genéricas tales como trabajo de equipo, pensamiento crítico, autoaprendizaje y comprensión y sensibilización por el respeto y dignidad de las personas. Se concluye que la metodología de estudio de caso contribuye a la comprensión interdisciplinar de los saberes, a la aplicación de ellos de manera colaborativa y en forma significativa al logro de diversas competencias establecidas en el perfil de egreso.

Authors: Korell Mario Ernesto , Merlo María Laura
Published: March 2024

Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, cualitativo, de análisis documental. Busca describir la integración curricular presente en las parrillas de las carreras de Kinesiología y Fisiatría de Argentina, se definen dos categorías, la presencia de materias clínicas en los dos primeros años y la presencia de cursos integrados. Los resultados muestran que la mayor integración se da por la presencia de materias clínicas en los dos primeros años y en menor medida por la presencia de cursos integrados. Las materias en su mayoría presentan alguna habilidad clínica en su denominación, y son muy pocas las que muestran integración en una misma materia de más de una habilidad tal como demanda la práctica clínica. Encontramos que hay materias que contienen la palabra integración o más de dos disciplinas en su denominación, pero no es posible ver la manera en que estas se integran. Solo en una materia se diluyen los límites entre disciplinas y unas pocas materias están organizados en torno a un problema de salud. A su vez, en futuras investigaciones será necesario indagar otros niveles de especificación curricular que dan cuenta de la concreción de la integración.
A Study on the Constitutional Meaning of the Right to Pursue Happiness in Intelligence Information Society
Authors:   Academy of Mobility Humanities, Center for Asia & Diaspora Studies, f f
Published: March 2024

The meaning of happiness in human life depends on what each individual thinks of as happiness and what one pursues due to differences in personalities and values. An important value and ideology of modern constitution is the guarantee of human rights to ensure that all human beings can live the life they want. Therefore, the meaning of the right to pursue happiness can be seen as very important not only at the time of the modern human rights declaration, but also in modern society, where technological breakthroughs and artificial intelligence are emerging at ever-higher rates.
The role of law is also very important in an intelligent information society, and it is also necessary to find out what fundamental rights the state should protect more actively through the interpretation and guidelines of the Constitution and include the necessary legislative direction or outline in the constitutional amendment. It is crucial to prepare for risks caused by the emergence of new technologies and the development of an intelligent information society, to protect the fundamental rights and safety of the people, and to review constitutional countermeasures. If successful, it may be possible to establish a normative framework for pursuing safe and sustainable development and human happiness.
A Study on Legislation for the Influx of Foreign Human Resources: Drawing Insights from Japanese Cases
Authors:   Academy of Mobility Humanities, Center for Asia & Diaspora Studies, f f
Published: March 2024

In December 2018, the Japanese government introduced “Initiatives to Accept Foreign Nationals and for the Realization of Society of Harmonious Coexistence.” This initiative aimed at a more robust and comprehensive approach toward accepting and integrating foreign talents. The Japanese government also developed the Roadmap for the Realization of a Society of Harmonious Coexistence with Foreign Nationals. This roadmap delineates policies to achieve a symbiotic society and outlines the vision for an environment where foreigners coexist harmoniously with Japanese nationals. With an anticipated rise in the foreign population in Japan, the Japanese government designated the Ministry of Justice as the central authority for overseeing the acceptance and integration of foreign talents across governmental levels. In Japan, this was acknowledged as pivotal for the nation’s future rather than solely addressing labor shortages and the plan involved a comprehensive, longterm policy review. South Korea also faces various societal challenges due to a declining birthrate, making the acceptance of foreign immigrants indispensable. Japan’s pursuit of a gradual transition to an immigration society while promoting acceptance and coexistence of foreign talent presents significant implications for Korea, which is seeking to introduce a new immigration policy.
ICT's in the Chilean and Latin-American civil justice. Analysis from the right of access to justice
Authors: Lillo Ricardo
Published: March 2024

The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the justice sector is not necessarily a new phenomenon. Nevertheless, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated this process, as it required rapid solutions to mitigate the effects of social distancing and other security measures, for which ICTs proved crucial to ensure the continued provision of basic legal services. Initially used only for urgent matters, after two years it has become highly integrated into the regular functions of judicial institutions and is expected to continue as a critical tool against overburdened dockets. ICTs in the justice system can serve different purposes and can therefore be analyzed from different perspectives: efficiency in the administration of justice, interoperability between institutional actors, improvement of information for decision-makers, transparency and accountability, among others. This article focuses on access to justice. Therefore, it analyzes the ICTs implemented in Latin American countries, with a focus on the Chilean judiciary – particularly in the civil justice system – from a critical point of view, based on access to justice standards.

Positive work environment in public administration
Authors: Piotrowska Maria
Published: March 2024

Based on the knowledge on motivation in software development teams, who have used agile methods for several years, this research determines the relationships between motivators, individuals’ characteristics, personality traits and job outcomes in two age groups of public servants in Poland. This study aims to identify motivators that significantly contribute to creating a positive work environment in which public servants feel satisfied with their work and feel connected to their organisation.The Motivators, Outcomes, Characteristics and Context (MOCC) model, developed by Sharp et al. (2009) to investigate motivation in software engineering, is used to understand the complex topic of motivation in public administration. The analysis of the relationships between the motivators and job outcomes, taking into account achievement-orientation and innovativeness, as well as personality traits, is based on mediation models. The source of the data for the model estimations is a questionnaire survey carried out among public administration employees aged 25–45 with higher education.The findings show that public servants respond best to three motivators, namely development opportunities, respect and teamwork. Younger public servants need a clear development path, while older public servants want respect from their superiors. Achievement-orientation in younger public servants and innovativeness in older employees, combined with openness and agreeableness, translate into better job outcomes provided that the employees are satisfied with the teamwork.
ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES USING SEM/EDX EQUIPMENT FOR DETERMINING HEAVY METALS CONTENTS IN FLY ASH GENEREATED FROM DOMESTIC SOLID WASTE INCINERATORS: A CASESTUDY OF SOCSON WASTE-TO-POWER PLANT IN HANOI

The researching and establishing of as process for analyzing fly ash generated from a domestic solid waste treatment plant by SEM/EDX method were investigated. Three sampling series with twelve (12) fly ash samples collected at SocSon waste-to-power plant were used for: (i) analytical procedure establishment; (ii) standardization; and (iii) test analysis. At each measurement, a cross-check with one random sample using XRF method was carried out to verify the accuracy of the SEM/EDX measurements. As a result, a 6-step measurement procedure has been proposed, including: experimental preparation, sample weighting, liquid/solid phase separation, sample drying, sample measurement and data processing. And for procedure adjustment, liquid/solid phase separation were repeated twice while drying time was doubly increased from 24h to 48h to collect ll heavy metal contaminated residues. The proposed procedure could provide results in about 3-5 seconds without any requirement of sample digestion while most of the heavy metalspresent in fly ash, including low-content ones such as Ag, Cd and Cr were simultaneously displayed. The standardized measurement procedure was applied to test the hazardous properties of fly ash by comparing with QCVN 07:2009/BTNMT – National Technical Regulations on Hazardous waste thresholds. The results identified that fly ash could be primarily considered as hazardous waste with 5/14 heavy metal parameters exceed the limit from 1,7 to 9,5 times and needs to be collected and treated properly. This result is also quite similar to the studies that have been done in China, the US or Vietnam. Thus, SEM/EDX method could be used for analyzing heavy metal components in fly ash samples of solid waste treatment plants.
Prolonged passive second stage of labour in nulliparous women: A multi perspective study
Authors:   ,   Linnaeus University, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Department of Health and Caring Sciences, Bjelke Maria
Published: March 2024

Aim: This study aimed to describe the prolonged passive second stage of labour in nulliparous women in relation to its prevalence, risk factors, birth outcomes, midwives’ intrapartum management, and women's birth experiences. Methods: Study I was a qualitative study in which 36 midwives participated in seven focus group discussions. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Studies II and III were retrospective observational cohort studies where medical records from 1131 nulliparous women in Sweden were reviewed. Analyses were performed using descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression. Study IV included 15 individual interviews with nulliparous women who had a passive second stage lasting three hours or more. Data were analysed using thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology. Results: Midwives’ management of the passive phase is complex, especially if progress is slow. Guidelines were considered, but women were preferably managed individually. The prevalence of prolonged passive second stage (≥2h) was 38%. Epidural analgesia, malpresentation, maternal age ≥30 years, and birth weight of ≥4 kg were identified as risk factors for prolonged passive second stage. Longer duration of the passive second stage was associated with an increased risk of operative delivery. There were no associations with adverse maternal outcomes. Associations with adverse neonatal outcomes were found, although the rate of adverse neonatal outcomes were low in the study population. Women’s experiences of prolonged passive second stage were described in four themes: “An unknown phase”, “Trust and mistrust in the body’s ability”, ”Loss of control“, and “Support through presence and involvement”. Conclusion: This thesis describes the prolonged passive second stage from multiple perspectives, including midwives, epidemiological data, and women’s experiences. The midwives’ management of the passive second stage included a complex continuous process of assessment and balancing options for the next step. A prolonged passive second stage was common and did not result in increased risks of adverse maternal outcomes, although further fetal surveillance can be called for. Nulliparous women experienced the passive second stage as an unknown phase and expected a different path for birth, and the experience could include loss of control and increased need for emotional and physical support.
The Legal Nature of the Digital Ruble
Authors:   Volgograd Institute of Management, Branch of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Belova Olesya , Osadchenko Elvira ,   Volgograd State University
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Civil law is a fundamental branch of law whose modernization and reform are significantly influenced by global processes associated with the development of public relations. Digitalization is one such process. The product of digitalization is such a phenomenon as the digital ruble. This phenomenon is a “challenge” for both science and law enforcement practice and the legislator. The definition of the legal nature of the digital ruble deserves close attention from legal science, since the well-being of the state as a whole directly depends on how correctly the legal regulation will be implemented. Since the science of civil law is faced with the task of developing various ways to solve problems in forming the definition of the digital ruble and determining its legal nature, this is the purpose of the study. Methods. The methodological framework for the research is a set of methods of scientific cognition, including such main ones as analysis, synthesis, generalization, and comparative jurisprudence. Results. The authors have studied the essence of the digital ruble as the third form of national currency in the Russian Federation. The main purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of three forms of money: cash, non-cash funds, and the digital ruble. The authors have identified the similarities and differences between these objects of civil rights. As part of the study, various points of view of modern civilists on the problems of determining the legal nature of the digital ruble are studied. The main result is the conclusion that the digital ruble is not identical to either cash or non-cash funds. From the point of view of the legal nature of the digital ruble, it seems inappropriate to attribute it neither to the legal regime of the item nor to the right of claim. The main advantages of the digital ruble have been identified, which allow for a different look at a new form of money. The authors’ definition of the digital ruble meets the main features and peculiarities inherent in the new form of money.

Introduction. Significant changes in approaches to the implementation of the educational process and the establishment of new principles of educational policy are associated with the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the Bologna process. Purpose. To systematize the result obtained and, based on it, formulate proposals for the transition to a new national system in higher education that will take into account the foreign and domestic political challenges facing the state. Methods. The methodological framework for the research is based on the general scientific methods of historical and systemic analysis and the comparative law method. Results. The historical and legal analysis of the development of the higher education system in Russia has allowed for the identification of the positive and negative aspects of the long-term practice of applying European standards in the field of education. Conclusion. The termination of the implementation of the Bologna education system within the territory of the Russian Federation will act as a new impetus for the modernization of the structure of higher education, capable of ensuring rapid economic growth and strengthening public relations in general.
The Principle of Independent Liability of a Legal Entity in Case of Insolvency (Bankruptcy): General Rules and Exceptions
Authors:   Moscow Regional Branch of the Union of Arbitration Managers “Avangard”, Sychev Anton
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The paper discusses the controversial issues of implementing the principle of independent civil liability for a legal entity, which contributes to maintaining the stability of civil turnover and protecting the rights of creditors in the bankruptcy case of a legal entity. The main positions of the researchers in the context of the problem under consideration, as well as the provisions of the key normative legal acts, are investigated. Special attention is paid to the problem of the absolutization of the principle of independent civil liability of a legal entity in a bankruptcy case. The concept of “piercing corporate veil” in the context of the principles of insolvency (bankruptcy) of legal entities in connection with the problems of holding entities is analyzed. Methods. The study used such general scientific methods of scientific cognition as analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, etc., as well as specific scientific legal methods, namely, formal legal, the method of legal interpretation, etc. Results. Based on the analysis of the legislation, doctrinal sources, and law enforcement practice, the point of view on the refutable nature of the presumption of attribution of persons specified in the law to persons controlling the debtor is substantiated. The exceptions to the general rules applied in practice in the implementation of the principle of independent liability of a legal entity in insolvency (bankruptcy) are revealed. The specifics of the implementation of special principles in the bankruptcy case of a legal entity are substantiated. Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, the role of both general legal principles and special principles of insolvency (bankruptcy) is determined when law enforcement agencies identify the relationship between legal entities, including at the pre-bankruptcy stage and during the implementation of other bankruptcy procedures.
The Theoretical and Applied Aspects of the Development of Human and Civil Rights and Freedoms
Authors:   MITSO International University, Vasilevich Dmitry
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The doctrine of human rights and freedoms attracts a wide range of scientists. Under presentday conditions, a number of well-established and seemingly traditional approaches to their definition and legal regulation are being rethought. Both external factors, such as interstate relations, and internal factors, like constitutional amendments, can influence these processes. Methods. The methodological framework for the study is a set of methods of scientific cognition, including such main ones as the methods of consistency, analysis, and comparative law. Results. The paper analyzes the doctrinal sources dealing with the dynamics of rights and freedoms, as well as the constitutional and other norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. Conclusions. It is proposed that, taking into account the existing classification of rights and freedoms, depending on the sphere of their manifestation, their scientific component should be developed, namely, the scientific definition of personal, political, economic, social, and cultural rights, in view of their specifics. Attention is focused on new groups of rights – informational and somatic ones. Information technologies are an important means of realizing the full range of human and civil rights and freedoms. The author’s scientific definition of somatic rights is given in the paper. The proposals are made to improve the acts of constitutional and family legislation.
The Legal Nature of the Collateral Management Agreement
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Gorshkov Dmitry
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The paper analyzes the legal nature of a new contractual structure – the collateral management agreement. The doctrinal developments of this institution, the defects in the legislative consolidation, and the features of law enforcement implementation are investigated. Purpose. To analyze the legal nature of the collateral management agreement and determine its place in the system of civil law contractual structures. Methods. The methodological framework for the research is based on the methods of scientific cognition, including such main ones as the methods of consistency, analysis, and comparative law. Results. The features of the collateral management agreement are revealed through its correlation with related contractual structures of civil law. Conclusions. The collateral management agreement is not an independent contractual structure, and despite the generally understandable logic of the legislator seeking to concentrate the rules on collateral in the section dealing with this method of ensuring the fulfillment of obligations, the author considers it more appropriate to transfer the rules on it to the second part of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
The Subject of Philosophy, the Subject of Pedagogy, the Pedagogues’ Subject
Authors:   University of Berne, Switzerland, Binder Ulrich
Published: March 2024

Whoever reflects upon the development and reasoning of pedagogical thoughts and actions faces the problematic subject. ‘The’ subject seems to figure as the basis of it all. Whilst all other key terms and categories are constantly open to negotiation, the ‘subject’ presents itself as self-evident rather than as an entity to be argued at length. Yet, some questions remain unanswered. Why is this the case? Furthermore, what kind of subject do we refer to? In this article the central issues concerning ‘The Subject and Pedagogy’1) as well as first findings of this ongoing research by the author are being discussed. The main focus is not on the results. What is of crucial importance with regard to the following text are the allusions to the apories which accompany any paradigm of the subject. This holds true of every single stage: the subject of philosophy, the subject of pedagogy and the pedagogues’ subject.

Published: March 2024

Resumen: Esta investigación-acción buscó responder a la inquietud de un estudiante de pedagogía para resolver un problema de la propia práctica pedagógica referido a la transformación de la gestión del clima de aula en la asignatura de Ciencias Naturales. Participaron 35 niñas y niños de 6° grado de Educación Básica de una escuela de Santiago de Chile y un profesor en formación inicial que desarrollaba su práctica profesional. Se analizaron datos provenientes de cuestionarios, tanto para diseñar la propuesta como para evaluar su implementación. Los resultados constatan la relevancia del clima de aula junto a las potencialidades del método indagatorio para propiciar el aprendizaje, no obstante, se advierte la necesidad de revisar las orientaciones y actividades pedagógicas que promuevan la indagación y la reflexión sobre lo que se aprende. Se concluye sobre la necesidad de resguardar la auténtica implicación del estudiante en el proceso indagatorio para garantizar su sentido y aprendizaje.
“Estamos peor, muchos originarios tratamos de sobrevivir”: Historias de expulsiones y extractivismos en el norte grande y la región metropolitana de Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Authors: Castilla Malena Ines
Published: March 2024

En Argentina, las actividades extractivas, el acaparamiento de los comunes y la transformación territorial está generando la expulsión de una parte de sus poblaciones. Dichas transformaciones producen modificaciones en los modos de vivir y producir estos paisajes, además de cambios en el ambiente y el clima. A través de la sistematización y análisis de diferentes fuentes documentales –obtenidas de diversos trabajos de campo e historias de vida, pero también del estudio de estadísticas, censos agropecuarios, poblacionales, mapas, informes técnicos y notas periodísticas– nos proponemos analizar las transformaciones territoriales e impactos ambientales generados a raíz de la expansión de actividades extractivas en espacios habitados por comunidades indígenas y campesinas, que causan –muchas veces– la migración de integrantes de dichas poblaciones. Asimismo, buscamos describir las trayectorias que obligaron a estas poblaciones a migrar y las condiciones de habitabilidad en las cuales tuvieron que asentarse, profundizando las desigualdades y vulneraciones existentes. Este trabajo se presenta como una propuesta para abordar la problemática aquí referida que, actualmente, no es parte de la agenda gubernamental argentina y, por tanto, no se planifican políticas tendientes a mitigar las consecuencias y conflictividades emergentes. Para ello nos centraremos en analizar casos correspondientes a la Región del Norte Grande y la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, dado que son los territorios donde venimos desarrollando nuestras investigaciones y trabajos de campo.

Mathematical Modeling Of the Spread of COVID-19, Taking Into Account the Distribution of Asymptomatic Cases between Actually Asymptomatic and Pre-Symptomatic Cases
Authors: Kolesin I.D. , Zhitkova E.M.
Published: March 2024

The possibility of representation in a dynamic model of the three types of SARS-CoV-2 infection: asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic and symptomatic is studied. Furthermore, a compartmental model was proposed, with a branching of asymptomatic cases into pre-symptomatic and actually asymptomatic cases. Verification of the proposed model using data from the first wave of COVID-19 in St. Petersburg and the proportion of actually asymptomatic cases among all asymptomatic cases demonstrated adequate model behavior. The contribution of pre-symptomatic cases to the total number of symptomatic cases was studied. The need to account for the high proportion of asymptomatic carriers in strict quarantine was identified.

Authors: Bhar Ria , Das Arpita , Haldar Srijan , Paul Joydeep
Published: March 2024

Knema linifolia is widely used for fuel wood, fodder and healthcare purposes. This plant treats various diseases in different parts of India, including Assam, Meghalaya, Alipurduar and Darjeeling districts of West Bengal. This study was carried out to determine the bactericidal properties of various parts of K. linifolia aqueous extract. The aqueous extract of the leaves, bark, stem and plant sap were tested against Escherichia coli (gram-negative bacteria) & Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive bacteria). Among the tested extracts, both the leaf and bark extracts were found to have high bactericidal potential and can kill more than 60% of both bacterial strains with a concentration of 300µg/mL through an agar diffusion test. The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) values for the leaf and bark extracts were recorded at ≤1000µg/mL & ≤500µg/mL, respectively. It has also been found that both the bark and leaf extracts contain high tannins, which might be essential for the antibacterial properties of Knema sp. There is currently a lack of proper documentation on using K. linifolia, which makes it challenging to conduct clinical or commercial research to support new uses in modern phototherapy. This study aims to fill this gap and provide significant information that could lead to changes in modern medicine.

Published: March 2024

An investigation was conducted among 360 people from the local population of the Western Middle Atlas of Morocco to identify medicinal plants used for treating skin diseases. Various parameters, including Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Family Use Value (FUV), Plant Part Value (PPV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and Fidelity Level (FL), were used for data collection and assessment. During the investigation, 45 medicinal plant species belonging to 33 families were documented, with the most important family being Euphorbiaceae (FUV = 0.292). The highest ICF value (ICF=0.991) was mentioned for skin cancer. The poultice was found to be the primary method for preparing the majority of remedies (51%). Leaves were the most commonly used plant part (PPV = 0.476), and Allium sativum L. was the most widely used species (RFC = 0.302). These findings are a preliminary step towards conserving and popularising these plant species, promoting sustainable practices in traditional medicine, safeguarding biodiversity, and integrating these valuable botanical resources into modern healthcare systems.
Determination of Naphthalene Concentration in Honey a New Method using by HS-GC/MS (Headspace-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry)
Authors: İZOL Ebubekir
Published: March 2024

Honey is seen by people as a very significant food. It is included in diets and used for the treatment of many diseases. However, contamination of honey, which is a source of healing, with harmful components from the outside makes honey harmful. Pesticides are known to be detected in honey. These pests are transmitted to honey by environmental conditions or incorrect beekeeping practices. Naphthalene is used by beekeepers to prevent mothballing of honeycombs or honey contaminated with honey due to environmental reasons. Naphthalene, which has carcinogenic properties, also causes different diseases. Therefore, the concentration of naphthalene in honey should not exceed a certain limit. For the determination of this, many different analysis methods are developed and applied.

In this study, the naphthalene concentration of honey from Bingöl province and its districts, one of the important beekeeping centers in Turkey, was determined by a new HS-GC/MS method that does not require sample preparation. No naphthalene concentration was detected in eight different honey samples. The fact that naphthalene concentration was not detected in honeys from Bingöl province indicates that beekeepers do not use naphthalene and that naphthalene is not contaminated by environmental factors.
