Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compressive neuropathy of the upper extremity. It is believed that the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is an increase in intracanal pressure, which leads to disruption of the blood supply to the median nerve and the occurrence of neurological disorders. The level of interstitial pressure is an indicator that describes the state of the microvasculature of the surrounding tissues. However, the question of the influence of changes in blood flow on the development of carpal tunnel syndrome still remains open. Purpose: to study the role of blood flow in the formation of intracanal pressure and the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Objectives of the study: 1. To evaluate pressure levels in the carpal tunnel in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and in healthy volunteers; 2. To study changes in pressure in the carpal tunnel in the absence of blood circulation in the limb in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and in healthy volunteers; 3. To assess changes in carpal tunnel pressure before and after median nerve decompression in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. We studied 40 people of both sexes aged from 21 to 82 years (mean age 50.1 years), divided into 2 groups. Group I included 20 patients with an established diagnosis of primary carpal tunnel syndrome. Group II, the control group, included 20 healthy volunteers. All participants had interstitial pressure measured in the carpal tunnel. In group I, the patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, 4 measurements were performed: before the start of surgery before a tourniquet was applied, 5 minutes after the tourniquet was applied (in the absence of blood circulation), then intraoperatively after decompression was performed in the conditions of a tourniquet applied and 5 minutes after its removal and restoration of blood circulation. In group II, 2 measurements were taken: before applying the tourniquet and after removing it. It was revealed that with carpal tunnel syndrome, the pressure inside the tunnel increased from 8 mm Hg normally to 24.5 mm Hg. When decompression is performed in patients with primary compressive neuropathy of the median nerve, a significant decrease in pressure in the carpal tunnel is observed from 24.5 mm Hg to 8 mm Hg. Even a short-term cessation of blood circulation in the upper limb leads to an increase in pressure inside the carpal tunnel.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the complex interrelationships of clinical, psychopathological, and socio-psychological characteristics in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and anxiety-depressive disorders (ADD). The study involved 145 patients: 85 patients were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (the study group) and 60 patients – with anxiety-depressive disorders without tuberculosis (the comparison group). The study assessed the level of anxiety and depressive disorders, asthenia, the nature and intensity of somatic complaints, and signs of vegetative changes; the Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) and the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire were used. A cluster analysis of clinical and social factors in patients with tuberculosis and ADD showed that they had an "infiltration" of individual psychological, socio-demographic, and clinical factors that demonstrated close affinity with each other. Notably, subjective indicators of social and physical well-being were mostly related to the clinical manifestations of ADD, while objective socio-demographic indicators showed greater affinity with the clinical manifestations of the tuberculosis process. In the comparison group, a more significant autonomy of the studied individually and socially oriented parameters, as well as clinical factors, was revealed compared with the study group. A cluster analysis of the entire patient sample (145 patients) allowed obtaining results that complement and largely confirm the results of the analysis of the two samples (the study and the comparison groups). Almost all TB patients are concentrated in clusters characterized by the most severe clinical manifestations and impaired social functioning. TB patients were characterized by the most severe manifestations of ADD with severe asthenia, a high level of somatic complaints on the exhaustion scale, and pronounced signs of vegetative changes. Despite the good formal indicators of social adaptation (family, household), they are characterized by an extremely low level of socially oriented and social functioning and indicators of quality of life. The assessment of the parameters of quality of life and social functioning, their correlations with clinical characteristics, and the establishment of a hierarchy of their relationships should be taken into account when conducting a complex of therapeutic and rehabilitation measures for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and ADD, which contributes to a more differentiated approach to rehabilitation and the development of optimal therapeutic strategies.

In recent years, there has been a significant incidence of psychopathology, leading to a decrease in social adaptation and more serious consequences. In particular, one of these nosologies is social phobia. Social phobia in young people, in particular, in medical students, often leads to the development of eating disorders. A significant part of young people during their studies at the higher educational institution are under constant strain of adaptive resources, sometimes even in a state of decompensation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the dynamics of clinical manifestations of social phobia, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa in medical students against the background of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy and sertraline pharmacotherapy. The study was conducted in 2020–2021 among students of the Voronezh State Medical University named after N. N. Burdenko. 106 participants were divided into 4 groups. Group I was treated with individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group II received a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy with sertraline at a dosage of 100 mg/day, group III — psychopharmacotherapy with sertraline without cognitive psychotherapy, and group IV had cognitive behavioral group psychotherapy. During the two-month study positive dynamics in the frequency of symptoms of social anxiety, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa were noted among the patients of all groups. The best dynamics of symptoms of social phobia and eating disorders was noted among the participants of the first and second groups. The results in both groups are comparable. The next most effective method of therapy of the combined social phobia and eating disorders according to the two-month study was group cognitive psychotherapy. Sertraline pharmacotherapy without cognitive psychotherapy in the third group of the participants showed the least effectiveness. The results of the study allow recommending the use of individual and group CBT protocols and a combination of individual CBT and sertraline pharmacotherapy in the treatment of comorbid social phobia, anorexia ner vosa, and bulimia ner vosa in students of higher medical institutions.

Despite the annual increase in the number of patients with psychostimulant addiction and the presence of comorbid psychiatric pathology, the question of finding effective therapies for these disorders remains open. When developing therapeutic remission, specialists often do not take into account the peculiarities of its duration and quality in these patients. The purpose of the study is to assess the duration and quality of therapeutic remissions in patients with addiction to psychostimulants, combined use of other psychoactive substances, and comorbid psychiatric pathology. Materials and methods. 325 patients with psychostimulant addiction, who underwent a course of medical and social rehabilitation in the Moscow Research and Practical Centre for Narcology of the Moscow Healthcare Department, were examined. Methods: clinical-psychopathological, psychometric ("Addiction Severity Index: Treatnet Version"), anamnestic, catamnestic, and statistical. The results of the study. It was found that the longest remissions were noted in patients only with psychostimulant addiction. Patients with combined addiction to psychostimulants and the presence of comorbid psychiatric pathology are characterized by short remissions. Patients only with psychostimulant addiction have the best dynamics of remission quality. Conclusion. The revealed clinical features of patients, together with quantitative and qualitative features of remissions, will help to increase the effectiveness of care for these patients.

Depressive disorders are the most common manifestations of multiple sclerosis. The severity of depressive symptoms depends on many factors: fear of a disabling disease, dependence on loved ones, the frequency of exacerbations. Early diagnosis of affective conditions helps to prescribe therapy in a timely manner, thereby improving the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the features and manifestations of depressive disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis. Patients and methods: The study involved patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who were diagnosed with depressive disorders — the study group, and patients with depressive disorders — the comparison group. At the time of examination, the age of the patients in the study group (113 participants) ranged from 15 to 60 years, with the mean age of 39.7±10.91 years. The duration of the disease was 9.84±0.73 years, while the disability rate by the EDSS was 2.89±0.16 points. The comparison group was represented by patients with disorders of the depressive spectrum (70 patients). The mean age of the patients was 32.81±13.57 years. The age of onset of the disease in patients with depressive disorders was within 22.09±2.09 years, and the duration of the disease with depression was 4.6±3.86 years. Results and discussion: In the study group patients with depressive disorders, the initial manifestations are not pronounced and are within the limits of the average degree of depression. The analysis revealed the dynamics of symptoms depending on the level of depression: with mild depression p<0.001, «loss of appetite» appears more often, with moderate depression p<0.001, the symptoms of «dissatisfaction», «feelings of guilt», and «preoccupation with bodily sensations» appeared, and with severe depression p<0.001, «ideas of self-blame», increased «tearfulness», and changes in «body image» became significant. Meanwhile, in the patients in the comparison group, symptoms of low mood and dissatisfaction, which were often accompanied by feelings of guilt and ideas of self-blame, came to the fore. Conclusion: The symptoms of depressive manifestations in patients with multiple sclerosis differ from those in patients with depressive disorders. When selecting the basic therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis with disease modifying drugs, it is necessary to take into account the emotional background of patients, since interferons affect the emotional sphere of multiple sclerosis patients and can cause or intensify depressive experiences.

Significant transformations occurred during the land reform by January 1999. The monopoly of state ownership over land was abolished, and reorganizations of collective and state farms were carried out, alongside the privatization of land. Since 2002, the turnover of agricultural land has been regulated by Federal Law No. 101-FZ of July 24, 2002, "On the Turnover of Agricultural Land." Ownership, use, and disposal of land plots that are in shared ownership can only be carried out in accordance with the decisions of the participants in the shared ownership. However, the procedure for allocating land plots against the shares of land is lengthy, costly, and prone to corruption. Imperfect land legislation and incompetence in the courts hinder the completion of land transformations. This article discusses the issues of shared land ownership related to multi-contour land plots and methods to overcome these challenges.

This paper addresses a significant registry error related to inaccuracies in the description of the boundaries of a land plot. The error arose from discrepancies between the coordinates established by the cadastral engineer and their actual location on the ground. Additionally, it was identified that the initial registry error originated in the land development documentation. Such registry errors pose substantial obstacles when conducting any real estate transactions. As a result of the admitted error, the location and area of the plot may not correspond to the reality, leading to land disputes. A key distinguishing feature of carrying out this type of work is the justification for correcting the registry error. Reducing the number of registry errors enhances the transparency of real estate transactions, ultimately contributing to the development of the real estate market.
Comprehensive Regional Economic Partnership as a Mechanism of China's Integration into World Economic Processes
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation, Grigarevicius A. R.
Published: October 2024

In this article, the author analyzes the impact of RCEP on the process of China's integration into world economic processes. The regional multilateral format of economic relations is a relatively new experience for China, therefore, the author considers China's participation in the RCEP as a possible beginning of a new stage in the implementation of not only regional, but also global ambitions of China. Recently, China has begun to integrate more actively into world economic processes, while putting forward its own initiatives for interaction in a multilateral order, for example, the Belt and Road Initiative. In addition, China is beginning to assert itself in already existing economic associations, for example, within the framework of the RCEP. However, in this case, China faces a number of problems, one of which is the presence of two competitive powers in the Asia-Pacific region: the US and Japan. Due to economic competition with China, both powers benefit from the policy of curbing the growth of China's influence in the region. In addition, today China has a very modest experience of participating in regional multilateral formats, largely due to the priority of the bilateral format of cooperation in China's foreign policy. The author comes to the conclusion that, claiming today to realize their global ambitions, the Chinese leadership is aware of the importance and necessity of the country's more active participation in regional integration processes.

Russian diplomacy and the struggle around transportation corridors through the Middle East: plans and realities
Authors:   Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Doctor of Political Sciences, Titorenko V. E.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the issues of Russia's participation in the struggle for the passage of transport corridors from Europe to Asia through the Middle East. Recently, as part of the geopolitical struggle to move away from a unipolar to a multipolar world, we are increasingly talking about rapidly growing competition for access to goods, raw materials, energy resources and transport logistics, which affect the current global rivalry for the redistribution of the world. It is already becoming increasingly clear that whoever controls international routes controls international security in many ways. Corridors are not only world trade, but also the movement of fl eets, the transfer of troops and military equipment, and communication between different regions of the world. Passages through straits such as Bab el-Mandeb, Hormuz, and Malacca are a matter of international security. Blocking them can lead to armed conflicts on a global scale. For the Middle East, these are primarily confl icts over the routes of oil and gas delivery to Europe from the Persian Gulf and the Caucasus and around the creation of short transport corridors from Europe to Asia bypassing the Suez Canal and Africa. If the issue of laying a gas pipeline from Qatar to the EU through the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East and from the Caucasus and Central Asia through Turkey to the EU was one of the reasons for the war in Syria, then the issue of creating a transport corridor from India to Europe through Arabia and Israel largely provoked the conflict in the Gaza Strip. And Russia is among the most active participants in this struggle for control of international transport corridors from Europe to Asia, trying to do so so as not to stay away from them.

A Hierarchical Linear Models Approach to Explaining Reflective Thinking Skill Through Problem Solving
Authors: Tat Osman , Zırhlıoğlu Gürol
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to identify the student and teacher level factors that explain the reflective thinking skills through problem solving of elementary school pupils. The research was conducted in public elementary schools in three Van districts: Pekyolu, Tuşba, and Edremit. The study's sample consists of 52 mathematics teachers and 1126 elementary school pupils. "Participant Information Form," "Reflective Thinking Ability Through Problem Solving Scale," and "Mathematics Problem Solving Attitude Scale" are data gathering tools for pupils. Teachers' data was gathered using the "Participant Information Form," the "Reflective Thinking Tendency Scale for Teachers and Preservice Teachers," and the "Scale for Learner Autonomy Support."
According to the results, it is found that the 90 % of variance in dependent variable can be explained by student level variables. Teacher level variables could explain 10% of outcome variance. The gender of students, receiving private tuition, book reading frequency, time devoted to studying mathematics, and attitude through problem solving are significant factors that can predict the dependent variable. Moreover, students' reflective thinking ability can be significantly influenced by teacher-level factors, such as teachers' knowledge of problem-solving steps and their tendency for reflective thinking. The authors recommend education or seminars that develop teachers’ reflective thinking tendency and problem-solving courses be provided in mathematics teaching undergraduate programs. Students should be supported in gaining reading habit and activities that have positive impact on the students’ problem-solving attitude.

Political praxis in the digital media era often contains biases in understanding human dignity. This article wants to investigate whether the political logic in such an era contains certain concepts about humans that are implicit, hidden, or intentionally hidden. The theoretical framework of Shoshana Zuboff and Agus Sudibyo's thoughts on "Capital Surveillance" and "Digital Universe" is the reference used by the author to see to what extent the role of the use of digital technology and virtual spaces in political propaganda contains humanitarian biases and does not direct political goals on human dignity. The results of the author's observations and research show that political praxis in the digital media era has utilized humanitarian issues only for the sake of pragmatic and transactional electoral political interests. The author finds that human dignity in political practice in the digital media era is only an instrument, not a goal.

Youth unemployment in Indonesia remains notably high at 9.25%, posing a potential threat to the optimal utilization of the demographic dividend anticipated to peak by 2030. This research seeks to explore how the Catholic Church can contribute to addressing youth unemployment during this critical period. By employing the theoretical framework of Catholic social teaching—focusing on the principles of human dignity, solidarity, and integral justice—the study examines the Church's role, potential, and concrete opportunities in mitigating youth unemployment, and provides recommendations for key programs. A qualitative approach is used, involving a literature review of Catholic social teaching documents and analysis of secondary data. The study's findings suggest that the Catholic Church holds strategic potential through its extensive network of parishes and institutions to assist in resolving the youth unemployment issue. Suggested priority programs include skills training, educational scholarships, job fairs, the establishment of youth empowerment institutions, vocational schools, research centers, and business incubators. Effective cross-sector collaboration is crucial to ensuring that these Church-initiated programs function efficiently and offer long- term benefits to Indonesian youth, helping them seize the opportunities presented by the 2030 demographic bonus. This research adds to the understanding of the potential contributions of religious institutions in addressing contemporary socio-economic challenges and opens avenues for further study on the intersection of religion, public policy, and economic development within the framework of Indonesia‘s demographic dividend.

Esta animación consiste en explicar de forma sencilla la importancia que tiene para la sociedad el desarrollo de una biotecnología sostenible. Para ello, se introducen unos microorganismos muy interesantes como son las cianobacterias, bacterias fotosintéticas capaces de llevar a cabo una producción biotecnológica consumiendo dióxido de carbono y generando oxígeno. Por último, se explica por qué estos microorganismos no forman parte de la biotecnología moderna y qué necesitamos hacer para solucionarlo.

La función de esta animación es divulgar a todos los públicos, en especial a los estudiantes, la importancia de mejorar la manipulación genética de las cianobacterias, estas bacterias fotosintéticas, para su utilización en biotecnología.

Es idóneo para explicar la fotosíntesis que consiste en una reacción química compleja pero que finalmente consume dióxido de carbono y genera oxígeno, utilizando la energía de la luz solar y el agua. Como se puede ver, es un proceso enteramente sostenible. Así, también esta animación es ideal para introducir a las cianobacterias, que fueron los primeros organismos en realizar este proceso en el planeta. Por lo tanto, la utilización de estos microorganismos en la producción industrial biotecnológica sería ideal para encajarla en una sociedad que lucha contra el cambio climático. Además, se explica la complejidad genética que tienen estos microorganismos y que ello, junto con el hecho de que no son tan conocidas a nivel genético como otras bacterias utilizadas en producción biotecnológica (ponemos como ejemplo Escherichia coli), hacen que las cianobacterias no estén entre los principales organismos aplicados a la producción. Finalmente se hace hincapié en la necesidad de investigar para mejorar la manipulación genética de las cianobacterias y, con ello, avanzar en sus aplicaciones biotecnológicas.

With the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our lives, including education, it is necessary to consider and address the ethical questions raised by this process. While the ethics of AI is widely researched, little attention has been paid to the ethics of AI in education (AIED). This systematic literature review aims to identify the main ethical values and norms for AIED in literature published after 2010 and available in English. Using database search and backward snowballing, 25 articles were included and analysed. In order to identify the ethical values, the definitions found inliterature were collected and reported. Thematic analysis and grouping were performed based on common terms. It was found that there are six main ethical values of AIED: non-discrimination, data stewardship, human oversight, goodwill, explicability, and educational aptness. The ethical norms found in the literature were grouped as per the stakeholder sets that they were relevant for and per main ethical value. Following this, these two groupings were combined into a matrix with ethical norms for stakeholder sets to follow in order to implement specific main ethical values. Identifying the main components of ethics of AIED is an initial step that can pave the way for future research aimed at creating ethical frameworks or regulation to ethically guide the domain.

The majority of the consumers of radio stations’ programming are the youth, most of whom are students in high schools, colleges, and universities. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents agreed that radio talk show presenters have effectively analysed their respective audiences so as to communicate effectively. In view of this, the research article seeks to determine the communication strategies that are employed in presenting radio talk shows, as observed, through listening, by university students in the city of Eldoret. Uses and Gratifications theory guided this study. The study utilized a mixed method research approach that made use of both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis. The target population of the study were students from university campuses within Eldoret, and the sample size was 300. The researcher adopted a stratified sampling and simple random sampling technique to arrive at the sample that would best fit or present the intended purpose of the research. Data was collected using a questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion. The collected data was analysed using descriptive statistical techniques that included frequencies, percentages. The study established that effective communication strategies by presenters are crucial in engaging university students. Radio talk show presenters should analyse their audience effectively and employ communication strategies that foster engagement, such as active listening and utilizing multiple modes of communication.

Buildings have become the focal point of sustainability because they consume large amounts of natural resources, especially materials and energy, and produce waste throughout their life cycle. Efforts to make buildings sustainable begin with the sustainability of the materials that govern most of the construction management process. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the importance levels of the criteria to be considered in the sustainability of building materials. For this purpose, a survey study was conducted to evaluate the importance of 25 criteria, grouped under the headings of environmental, social, and economic criteria, in terms of sustainability. The survey was conducted with the participation of 50 people from different professions and with different demographic characteristics, and whether participant opinions differed according to demographic characteristics was examined through inferential analyses. The inferential analyses revealed that the views differed for the work experience and only on economic criteria, and that there was no differentiation according to gender, age, education level and profession. For this reason, it was decided that the results could be generalized, and the relative importance values of the criteria were determined. While water conservation ranks first among all criteria, including environmental, accessibility among social criteria and long-term savings among economic criteria have been determined to be the most important criteria. The results revealed which criteria should be taken into consideration in the sustainability of building materials in order to make the construction industry more sustainable. In this respect, it is evaluated that the study will be a guide for governments, local governments, building material manufacturers, designers, contractors and ultimately users.
