Differential expression of NOX4 in cancer of the head and neck: oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2023

Head and neck cancers are an emerging public health problem and most are now thought to be caused by high-risk human papillomavirus infection (1-3). We mined public microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding NADPH oxidase 4, NOX4, when comparing OSCC tumor tissue to the tissue of origin. NOX4 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the head and neck as compared to normal tissues from the head and neck. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of NOX4 in head and neck tumors was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with head and neck cancer. NOX4 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human OSCC.

Empathy Is Associated with Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Goals in Everyday Life
Authors: Geiger Eva Johanna , Pruessner Luise , Barnow Sven , Joormann Jutta
Published: April 2023

Responding to the emotions of the people around us is a phenomenon traversing human lives; however, research has only recently started exploring the predictors of interpersonal emotion regulation (IER). In two ecological momentary assessment (EMA) studies, we tested whether different facets of empathy (i.e., mentalizing, experience sharing, empathic concern, and personal distress) are associated with other-focused IER goals and their attainment in everyday life (Ns = 131 and 204). Study 1 examined associations between mentalizing, experience sharing, and global hedonic and counter-hedonic IER goals (i.e., making others feel better or worse). Study 2 expanded these findings to empathic concern, personal distress, and associations with specific types of hedonic and counter-hedonic IER goals (i.e., increasing, decreasing, and/or maintaining others’ positive and/or negative emotions). In both studies, participants primarily endorsed hedonic IER goals. Hedonic IER goals were associated with higher mentalizing and experience sharing in both studies and higher empathic concern and lower personal distress in Study 2. Counter-hedonic IER goals were positively associated with experience sharing in both studies, and personal distress in Study 2. Conversely, empathic concern and mentalizing were negatively related to counter-hedonic IER goals in Study 2. We also found differential associations for empathy with IER goals on the state and trait levels. All empathy facets except personal distress were positively associated with goal attainment in Study 2. These findings address a major gap in our scientific knowledge about IER in everyday life and offer a novel perspective on empathy in social emotion regulation processes.

Published: April 2023

Most children with developmental disabilities (DD), such as intellectual disabilities and autism, live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where services are usually limited. Various governmental, non-governmental and research organisations in LMICs have developed awareness-raising campaigns and training and education resources on DD in childhood relevant to LMICs. This study aimed to comprehensively search and review freely available materials in the academic and grey literature, aimed at awareness raising, training and education on DD among non-specialist professionals and community members in LMICs. We consulted 183 experts, conducted key-word searches in five academic databases, four grey-literature databases and seventeen customised Google search engines. Following initial screening we manually searched relevant systematic reviews, lists of resources and conducted forwards and backwards citation checks of included articles. We identified 7327 articles and resources after deduplication. We then used a rigorous multi-step screening process to select 78 training resources on DD relevant to LMICs, of which 43 aimed at informing and/or raising awareness DD, 16 highlighted specific strategies for staff in health settings and 19 in education settings. Our mapping analysis revealed that a wealth of materials is available for both global and local use, including comics, children’s books, flyers, posters, fact sheets, blogs, videos, websites pages, social media channels, handbooks and self-education guides, and training programmes or sessions. Twelve resources were developed for cross-continental or global use in LMICs, 19 were developed for and/or used in Africa, 23 in Asia, 24 in Latin America. Most resources were developed within the context where they were intended to be used. Identified gaps included a limited range of resources on intellectual disabilities, manuals for actively delivering training to staff in education settings and resources targeted at eastern European LMICs. Beyond identifying these gaps, the value of the review lies in the compilation of summary tables of information on all freely available resources found, to support their selection and use in wider contexts. Information on the resource content, country of original development and copyright is provided to facilitate resource sharing and uptake.
Personal Educational Relationships: An Ethnographic Study on Private Music Lessons at the Collegiate Level
Authors: Marten Philip
Published: April 2023

Through a close examination of private music lessons at the collegiate level via extended interviews with both instructors and students, a Two Hemisphere Model is constructed to express the means by which students can learn from personal educational relationships. The ways in which these Hemispheres, called the Professional and the Personal, construct themselves and then can either reinforce each other or collapse from the other’s weight is distinctly pronounced throughout these discussions. While other studies of personal educational relationships tend to question whether they are worth engaging in at all, this study comes from the perspective held universally among music students that they are paramount to academic and professional success. This setting, then, is prime for a full understanding of how these relationships can both help a student thrive or, if imbalanced, fail.
Public Engagement with COVID-19 Preprints: Bridging the Gap Between Scientists and Society
Authors: Henke Justus
Published: April 2023

The surge in preprint server use, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, necessitates a reex-amination of their significance in the realm of science communication. This study rigorously investigates discussions surrounding preprints, framing them within the contexts of systems theory and boundary objects in scholarly communication. An analysis of a curated selection of COVID-19-related preprints from bioRxiv and medRxiv was conducted, emphasizing those that transitioned to journal publications, alongside the associated commentary and Twitter activity. The dataset was bifurcated into comments by biomedical experts versus those by non-experts, encompassing both academic and general public perspectives. Findings revealed that while peers dominated nearly half the preprint discussions, their presence in Twitter dia-logues was markedly diminished. Yet, intriguingly, the themes explored by these two groups diverged considerably. Preprints emerged as potent boundary objects, reinforcing, rather than obscuring, the delineation between scientific and non-scientific discourse. They serve as cru-cial conduits for knowledge dissemination and foster inter-disciplinary engagements. None-theless, the interplay between scientists and the wider public remains nuanced, necessitating strategies to incorporate these diverse discussions into the peer review continuum without compromising academic integrity and to cultivate sustained engagement from both experts and the broader community.
Better close to home? Geographical and socioeconomic constraints on gendered educational transitions at the upper secondary level
Authors: Prix Irene , Sirniö Outi , Saari Juhani
Published: April 2023

Educational decisions are affected by geographical accessibility, which may have far-reaching consequences for young people’s future educational pathways. In this paper, we examine the extent to which geographical distance to educational institutions may moderate young people’s applications to upper secondary education in terms of both the track and the gender-(a)typicality of vocational fields of study they apply to. Our study relies on rich register-based data of complete cohorts of 16-year-olds applying to Finnish upper secondary institutions, linked with geographical information on their closest educational alternatives. We find that travel time to the academic track is more decisive than the distance to vocational schools, with geographical accessibility being more significant for boys’ rather than for girls’ application patterns. Moreover, distance sensitivity varied by social origin, with daughters of low-educated parents and sons of medium-educated parents particularly likely to adjust their upper secondary application to the geographical accessibility of educational alternatives. However, we find some indications that particularly girls from lower-educated social backgrounds are more prepared to consider fields of study not typical for their gender if they are more geographically accessible than key alternatives. No such gender-atypical substitutions were evident among boys. We discuss the implications of these findings in the context of explanatory approaches based on risk aversion and (gender) socialization.
The Average Uneven Mortality index: Building on the "e-dagger" measure of lifespan inequality
Authors: Bonetti Marco , Basellini Ugofilippo , NIGRI ANDREA
Published: April 2023

In recent years, lifespan inequality has become an important indicator of population health, alongside more established longevity measures. Uncovering the statistical properties of lifespan inequality measures can provide novel insights on the study of mortality developments.We revisit the "e-dagger" measure of lifespan inequality, introduced in Vaupel and Canudas-Romo (2003). We note that, conditioning on surviving at least until age a, e-dagger(a) is equal to the covariance between the conditional lifespan random variable Ta and its transformation through its own cumulative hazard function (hence generalizing a result first noted in Schmertmann, 2020). We then derive an upper bound for e-dagger(a). Leveraging this result, we introduce the "Average Uneven Mortality" (AUM) index, a novel relative mortality index that can be used to analyze mortality patterns. We discuss some general features of the index, including its relationship with a constant ("even") force of mortality, and we study how it changes over time.The use of the AUM index is illustrated through an application to observed period and cohort death rates as well as to period life-table death rates from the Human Mortality Database. We explore the behavior of the index across age and over time, and we study its relationship with life expectancy. The AUM index at birth declined over time until the 1950s, when it reverted its trend. The index generally increases over age and reduces with increasing values of life expectancy, with differences between the period and cohort perspectives.We elaborate on Vaupel and Canudas-Romo’s e-dagger measure, deriving its upper bound. We exploit this result to introduce a novel mortality indicator, which enlarges the toolbox of available methods for the study of mortality dynamics. We also develop some new routines to compute e-dagger(a) and σ_Ta from death rates, and show that they have higher precision when compared to conventional and available functions, particularly for calculations involving older ages.
The Effects of Gardening on State Mindfulness and State Mental Wellbeing
Authors: Ing K. H. Kelvin
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Previous research support the effectiveness of therapies involving gardening for improving trait mental wellbeing and mindfulness in clinical and vulnerable populations. Little evidence currently support the efficacy of everyday gardening enhancing state mental wellbeing or mindfulness on general adult populations.Aims and Research Questions: This study investigates whether gardening enhances state mindfulness and mental wellbeing. We predict significantly higher levels of state mindfulness, state self-esteem and significantly lower levels of state anxiety after gardening. We also predict significant positive correlations between gardening duration and degrees of change in outcome scores (state mindfulness, anxiety and self-esteem).Method: We recruited 37 adults habitually gardening in urban allotments, excluding anyone unable to give informed consent and allotments associated with vulnerable groups. Participants were given questionnaires to complete before and immediately after a usual gardening session. We received level 2 ethics approval from the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Ethics Research Panel of the University of Edinburgh.Results: A paired t test found a significant increase in state mindfulness scores after gardening, t(36)=2.86, p=0.0035. Wilcoxon signed rank tests found a significant increase in state self-esteem scores after gardening, Z=4.79, p<0.001 and found state anxiety scores were significantly lower after gardening, Z=-4.05, p<0.001. We found no significant correlation between gardening duration and degree of change in outcome scores.Conclusions: There is evidence gardening enhances state mindfulness and wellbeing, but further research is needed for serious implications on practice, policy and theories.
Covid-19: How is the Sharia Hospitality Industry and Health Industry Survive in Indonesia?
Authors: Insawan Husain
Published: April 2023

Fama & French explained that company size affects the risk of return on its shares. The larger the size of a company, the more established the company is.Hence, it is not easily swayed by crisis pressures, not only financial pressure but also social pressure. The Covid-19 outbreak hitting the world, especially Indonesia, also had an impact on performance in the capital market. The test results showed that during the Covid-19 outbreak period, the JCI performance decreased by 30 percent. However, further test results showed that the hotel and resort industry did not necessarily show worse performance. Moreover, the results of the panel data regression test using data from 16 companies and 29 weeks period of timeshowed that during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in Indonesia from March to June, although it is not statistically significant, the performance of the hotel and resort industry outperforms the health industry, while the performance of the Islamic stock category for the two industries is outperformed by the performance of its alternative stocks. The results of this test strengthen the three-factor model Fama & French  as well as the five-factor model Fama & French that companies with large assets in the hotel and resort industry included in the research sample are able to withstand the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, beating companies which are inferior in terms of company size such as the healthcare industry in Indonesia.
Halal Cart With Sustainable Philanthropy (A Case Study in Bau-Bau City of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia)
Authors: Insawan Husain
Published: April 2023

This study aims to examine: a) the existence of halal cart in Bau-Bau city of Southeast Sulawesi in which the operations are based on the philanthropic awareness of the employees of the Ministry of Religion in Bau-Bau; b) the business effect using halal carts on philanthropic actions of the owners in Bau-Bau; and c) the halal cart model with sustainable philanthropy as the best practice of sharia-based microbusinesses in Southeast Sulawesi. This research is designed with the descriptive-qualitative methods, in which the researchers collected the data by observation, in-depth interviews, and focused-group discussions. Also, the data analysis technique used refers to the Miles and Hubermas theory, namely data display, reduction, and conclusions. The results indicate that that the halal cart is one of the microbusiness models developed by doing small businesses such as the food vendors who meet the halal (hygienic ingredients and tools) and thayyibah (based on the health and hygiene standards) criteria. The halal cart significantly affects the business owner philanthropic actions where they spare their income for the charity in form of infaq. The halal cart model with sustainable philanthropy can be used for all the microbusinesses in Southeast Sulawesi. As far as we know, there is still little research on the halal cart model with a philanthropic perspective as a good practice for sharia-based micro businesses, especially in Muslim communities, this research is an attempt to enrich insights and fill the gap.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, ulemas from Islamic boarding schools in Tasikmalaya will be interviewed to learn about their views on MUI fatwas, government regulations, and health protocols. The COVID-19 pandemic has now reached every part of the world's population. Indonesia is a country that has been affected by the pandemic. The arrival of Covid-19 has fundamentally altered the course of human history. Not only in economic and social concerns, but also in religious concerns. The ulemas of Islamic boarding schools are the prominent figures with significant direct or indirect responsibilities and influences in the problem of addressing COVID-19. Interviews with Islamic boarding school ulemas in the City and District of Tasikmalaya serve as the data collection strategy for this qualitative study. This study indicated that ulemas at Islamic boarding schools have diverse perspectives on a variety of topics, including those relevant to MUI fatwas. There are those who fully embrace, socialize, and practice fatwas, while others accept and respect fatwas, as well as socialize them to the public, but believe they are not implemented and are not required to be practiced because they are not legally binding. The perceptions of other ulemas are to accept and respect the fatwas with no obligation to socialize and not necessary to practice them. Regarding government policies during the Covid-19 pandemic, they are divided into two perceptions, namely, fully supporting with notes as long as they are beneficial for the community. Health precautions were put into action during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are two responses: that the practice of health programs is viewed as a form of government obedience and also as an endeavor for health. In the meantime, there are also some clerics who argue that the practice of health protocol is only a tribute to the government.

Hukum Kewarisan Masyarakat Adat Banjar Dalam Perspektif As-Sulh
Authors: Maskuri Erkham , Aufa Difa Azri
Published: April 2023

Keberagaman sistem hukum waris yang ada di Indonesia memiliki aspek tersendiri yang sangat menarik untuk dikaji. Bentuk keberagaman tersebut dapat kita lihat berdasarkan pluralisme kewarisan yang banyak ditemui terutama dalam masyarakat adat di Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah hukum kewarisan yang dianut oleh masyarakat adat Banjar di daerah Kalimantan Selatan. Dimana dalam sistem kewarisan yang diterapkannya, masyarakat adat Banjar menggunakan percampuran antara sistem kewarisan mayorat dan individual. Berdasarkan penelitian secara historis melalui kajian pustaka yang telah dilaksanakan, hal ini dapat terjadi karena adanya indikasi akulturasi budaya antara adat Melayu, hukum Islam, dan penduduk asli setempat di masa lampau. Sedangkan dalam penelitian menurut hukum normatif yang telah dilaksanakan, eksistensi hukum kewarisan adat Banjar ditandai dengan adat bedamai dan tuan guru, yang memberikan ketetapan bagi para ahli waris dalam pembagian harta warisan. Aspek hukum Islam yang terkandung dalam adat bedamai pada dasarnya memiliki kesamaan dengan konsep as-sulh atau perdamaian. Akan tetapi dalam adat bedamai, perdamaian dilaksanakan tanpa harus terjadi sengketa terlebih dahulu, berbeda dengan as-sulh yang dilaksanakan untuk menyelesaikan sebuah sengketa. Adapun tuan guru merupakan sebutan bagi tokoh agama masyarakat Banjar yang memberikan petuah dalam adat bedamai mengenai bagaimana seharusnya harta warisan dibagikan berdasarkan hukum Islam. Meskipun dengan adanya petuah tersebut, para ahli waris tetap dapat membagi warisan sesuai dengan kehendaknya masing-masing, karena pada dasarnya petuah tuan guru hanya berfungsi sebagai pedoman saja. Kedua aspek dalam kewarisan adat Banjar ini menunjukkan bahwa hukum kewarisan yang digunakan, sepenuhnya adalah hukum adat Banjar yang telah berakulturasi dengan beberapa aspek dalam hukum Islam.

Objective: This case report aimed to examine the effectiveness of electroacupuncture (AE) in treating trigeminal neuralgia pain and improving overall health in a 43-year-old woman. Methods: The study protocol involved administering electroacupuncture to the patient twice a week for a period of four consecutive weeks. During each treatment session, needles of size 0.30x60mm were inserted into specific acupoints on the patient's face, including ST8 (Touwei), GB14 (Yangbai), SJ23 (Sizhukong), EX-HN5 (Taiyang), GB3 (Shangguan), SI18 (Quanliao), ST7 (Xiaguan), and ST6 (Jiache), using the acupoint-to-acupoint penetrative needling technique. Results: The results of this case report indicate that following eight treatments with electroacupuncture, the patient's pain was completely resolved. Additionally, the patient reported improvements in overall health, including increased energy levels, positive mood, deeper sleep, and a return to normal appetite. Furthermore, the function of the trigeminal nerve, which was previously impaired, was restored. Conclusions: This case report suggests that electroacupuncture (AE) may be an effective treatment for relieving the clinical symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia and improving trigeminal nerve function. The results of this study support the high clinical application value of AE in the treatment of this condition.
Baseline Assessments of TB Detection Centres in Selected Public and Private Laboratories in India and Need for Introducing Quality Management Systems
Authors: Dhawan Shikha
Published: April 2023

Quality is sine qua non of healthcare services. Laboratory driven Quality Management Systems (QMS) are key to provide quality diagnosis. Missed diagnosis due to laboratory lacunae stymies Tuberculosis (TB) control measures, amplifies morbidity, mortality and, disease transmission. Hence, a pilot was conceptualized with Central TB Division, National TB Elimination Program (NTEP), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to perform baseline assessments for QMS at four laboratories from public and private centers at Delhi and Odisha. Data was collected using a standardized checklist. Scores were compiled for compliance to quality standards for attributes assessed across seven thematic domains. The assessment helped identify current status in terms of performance, processes followed and, areas requiring improvement. TB laboratories were found lacking in human resources and, backup staff that disrupted service delivery. Other gaps included quality aspects in documents, records, process controls in smear microscopy, optimum resource utilization and laboratory safety. Adage for missed TB diagnosis included laboratory errors, failure to document, collect and, test repeat samples for Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAAT), lack of patient centric laboratory signages, equipment handling and, maintenance. Baseline assessments of quality at TB laboratories mainly focused attention on areas of greatest need to ameliorate the health system challenges and, develop roadmaps to accelerate improvement. By adapting to local context, QMS can be enacted through a shared vision in quality care to positively impact TB case finding and, optimize utilization of NAAT for diagnosis thereby setting stage for nationwide adoption and, scaleup.

When it comes to chronic conditions like hypertension, patient health outcomes are tightly linked to adherence to orthodox care. And Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) use may harm patient healthcare outcomes concerning poor antihypertensive medications adherence. The purpose of the study was to assess the use of CAM among hypertensive patients of TTH for management of hypertension. An analytic cross-sectional design was adopted for this study, using the method of survey for quantitative data. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20. The bivariate analysis was done using Chi-square to determine factors associated with CAM use. And predictors of CAM use were identified using the multiple logistics regression model. A survey was done for 131 participants, the average age of the hypertensive study participants was 56.9 ±15.5 years, and more than half (58.9%) of the respondents were females. The prevalence of CAM use was 24.6%. Factors with significant association with CAM use among the study participants were; Respondents' level of education, age, duration of hypertension illness, and comorbidity condition predicted CAM use. In conclusion, CAM use was high and, this may lead to anti-hypertensive medication non-compliance.

Клінічне дослідження включало 58 пацієнтів. Термін хірургічного лікування від моменту травми у всіх пацієнтів не перевищував 72 год, а у більшості (49) осіб – до 48 год. При визначенні типу перелому і виборі тактики хірургічного лікування застосовували класифікацію L. Hawkins. В І групі (28 пацієнтів) використовували зустрічно-компресійні гвинти власної конструкції, в групі порівняння (30 пацієнтів) – традиційну фіксацію кортикальними і малеолярними гвинтами. Оцінку результатів проводили через 3, 6 і 12 міс після операції за AOFAS, рентгенологічними даними і КТ. У пацієнтів основної групи функціональний результат через 3 міс становив (56,7 ± 1,4) бала проти (38,9 ± 1,2) бала в групі порівняння; через 6 міс – відповідно (75,3 ± 1,9) бала проти (58,7 ± 1,3) бала; через 12 міс – (92,2 ± 0,9) бала проти (78,7 ± 1,5) бала. В І групі спостерігали 2 випадки асептичного некрозу і незрощення, тоді як в групі порівняння – 7 випадків. Середній термін кісткового зрощення в І групі становив 13,5 тиж, в групі порівняння – 14,6 тиж.

In 1921, Norwegian neurosurgeon Vilhelm Magnus (1871–1929) described the first use of radiation for the treatment of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his monograph, Bidrag til hjernechirurgiens klinik og resultater. Seeing as this monograph has never been widely translated nor digitized, the authors discuss the impact of Magnus’ original work and the ethics surrounding its citation. The senior author of this paper gained access to and directly translated key sections of Magnus’ publication. Without Norwegian language skills, reading and understanding Magnus’ text would have been impossible.

Magnus described the use of radiation therapy in a single patient found to have an AVM (or "angioma"). He states that she was "well" 8 years later. No other information on that treatment is given, but for good reason Magnus has been given credit in the literature for the first use of radiation of any kind to treat a person with AVM.

Most papers that have referenced Magnus’ monograph cite it even though it is probable that the authors did not see it, let alone read its contents. While it is appropriate that his innovation has been properly credited, the authors discuss the limits of citing publications sight unseen.

OBJECTIVE

Spinal cord stress/strain during neck motion contributes to spinal cord dysfunction in degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), yet the effect of surgery on spinal cord biomechanics is unknown. It is expected that motion-preserving and fusion surgeries for DCM will have distinct effects on spinal cord biomechanics. The aim of this study was to compare changes in spinal cord biomechanics after laminectomy with fusion, laminectomy, and laminoplasty using a patient-specific finite element model (FEM) for DCM.

METHODS

A patient-specific FEM of the cervical spine and spinal cord was created using MRI from a subject with mild DCM. Multilevel laminectomy with fusion, laminectomy, and laminoplasty were simulated for DCM using the patient-specific FEM. Spinal cord von Mises stress and maximum principal strain during neck flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation were recorded. Segmental range of motion, intradiscal pressure, and capsular ligament strain were also measured. FEM outputs were calculated as a change with respect to the preoperative values and compared between the three models.

RESULTS

Across the surgical levels, spinal cord stress increased after laminectomy for neck flexion (+50%), neck extension (+37.8%), and axial rotation (+23%). Similarly, spinal cord strain increased in neck extension (+118.4%) and axial rotation (+75.1%) after laminectomy. Laminoplasty was associated with greater spinal cord stress in neck flexion (+57.4%) and increased strain in lateral bending (+56.7%) and axial rotation (+20.9%). Compared with laminectomy and laminoplasty, spinal cord biomechanics for laminectomy with fusion revealed significantly reduced median extension stress (13.7 kPa vs 9.7 kPa, p = 0.03), lateral bending strain (0.01 vs 0.007, p = 0.007), axial rotation stress (3.7 kPa vs 2.1 kPa, p = 0.04), and axial rotation strain (0.017 vs 0.009, p = 0.04).

CONCLUSIONS

Spinal cord strain decreased in neck flexion in all three models, yet spinal cord stress increased with neck flexion for laminectomy and laminoplasty. Changes in spinal cord biomechanics for laminoplasty parallel those for laminectomy with fusion except during neck flexion, lateral bending, and axial rotation. Compared with motion-preserving approaches such as laminectomy and laminoplasty, laminectomy with fusion was associated with the lowest spinal cord stress and strain in flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation of the neck.

The article considers the prospects for Russian-Vietnamese economic cooperation in the new geopolitical conditions, forcing Russia to intensify the "turn to the East" policy. It is shown that as a result of the reforms, Vietnam has managed to turn into one of the fastest growing economies in the world, deeply integrated into global production chains and economic ties, pursuing a multi-vector foreign economic policy, balancing between the largest players in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite the historically high level of diplomatic relations between Russia and Vietnam, economic ties between two countries are comparatively poor. It is concluded that the sanctions imposed against Russia by unfriendly countries will negatively affect the prospects for the development of economic relations with Vietnam due to the rise of transaction costs and the risks of secondary sanctions on Vietnamese counterparties. However, an adequate and realistic strategy of reorientation towards interaction with the countries of East and South-East Asia will help Russia to increase economic cooperation with Vietnam, as well as strengthen the development of its own eastern regions.
Long-term forecast of the replacement migration in Russia

The population of Russia was declining since 2018 due to the growth of natural loss and the uneven dynamics of net migration, which only partially compensated for it. In the short term, even the most favorable scenario of Russia’s demographic development, which provides for high levels of fertility, life expectancy and migration, leads to a decrease in the population from the current 146.2 to 145.2 million persons in 2026, and only after that point, a growth can be expected. According to the medium and low options, the population will decrease to 137.5 and 84.4 million persons respectively by the end of the century. This makes necessary to calculate a level of the replacement migration, which would compensate the natural decline and maintain the current population of Russia. The cohort-component method was used in forecasting, the population as of 01.01.2021 was taken as the base. Depending on various scenarios of fertility and mortality, the level of annual replacement migration growth in 2021–2023 should correspond to 460–1200 thousand persons, which is 2–6 times higher than suggested by the average, most realistic, migration scenario. The value is also 1.5–4.5 times higher than in high migration scenario. After that, the urgency for replacement migration decreases and from the 2040s, according to the average variant, the net migration will correspond to the upper, optimistic, migration scenario (450–500 thousand persons), which implies a greater probability of achieving it. In 2077, the level of replacement migration intersects with the average scenario of net migration (250 thousand persons), and in the period 2084–2100 corresponds to the lower scenario (60–70 thousand persons). According to the high variant, the level of replacement migration is rapidly decreasing due to a significant increase in fertility and life expectancy and since the late 2030s even in the case of migration decline the population would not shrink. With negative trends of natural movement in the low variant, the level of required replacement migration throughout the forecast period is extremely high and unlikely, 1–1.2 million persons annually, which indicates the impossibility of stabilizing the population in this variant. Higher levels of immigration make possible to recoup the growth of the demographic burden only in the medium term, subsequently, the aging of the arrived contingents of migrants leads to an increase in the demographic burden of the elderly. Thus, to preserve the population, it is necessary to find a balance between relatively easy-to-manage migration flows and solving fundamental issues in the field of reducing mortality and creating favorable conditions for the birth of the desired number of children in families.

The purpose of this work is to identify the factors that form the market value of a football player. The study tests hypotheses about the influence of individual characteristics (age, height, weight), statistical performance indicators from local and international competitions both at the club level and at the national team level, expert assessments from the FIFA sports simulator, as well as injury history on the transfer value of a player, the number of days until the expiration of the contract, the number of transfers and the characteristics of the player’s agent. The selection of variables for the final models is made according to statistical criteria, as well as using Lasso and Ridge regressions. The analysis uses a linear model as well as a Heckman model in various specifi cations. The study showed a signifi cant negative impact of injuries on the cost of a football player (a day in the hospital — 0.2% of the cost) and a positive impact of goals in EuroCups. In addition, the influence of agents on the cost of transfers of football players was revealed: large agencies reduce the cost of a transfer by 8%, other things being equal, but increase the probability of a transfer by 2%. The effect of "Neymar" is substantiated: prices in the football market after the transfer of a football player increased by an average of more than 20%. Peculiarities in the transfer policy of the clubs that planned to organize the "Super League" were also revealed.
