Endometrial cancer is a disease that is still among the top ten causes of mortality and morbidity in Ukraine today. More and more new data about this malignant neoplasm appear every day, which forces us to revise the approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of it. In June 2023, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) published the staging of endometrial cancer, which included new data obtained in recent years in the process of studying this pathology.It is important to note that the new review is significantly different from the previous one, because it is based not only on the anatomical spread of the tumor, but also on histological characteristics: lymphovascular invasion and its spread, differentiation and histological type of the tumor, invasion into the myometrium. Molecular classification was implemented, taking into account the new WHO edition of histological forms of tumors of the female reproductive system in 2020.The 2023 FIGO staging calls attention to the important role of the histologist in deciding the stage of endometrial cancer. This is one of the challenges for the gynecological oncology community, which will require a single protocol that would include the main histological aspects in the description of the tumor.It is also indicated the molecular profile of the tumor, which plays an important role in FIGO-2023 staging of endometrial cancer. Knowledge of the molecular profile of the tumor is importantly in the management of patients in the early stages of endometrial cancer, namely stages I and II. The presence or absence of certain markers of tumor aggressiveness can not only change the stage, but also lead to de-escalation of the patient’s treatment.Currently, there is a challenge of financial inaccessibility of the NGS (next generation sequencing) method, which is why this type of diagnosis is often avoided. This requires the search for new adapted algorithms for determining the molecular profile of a tumor, until the determination of POLEmut becomes more accessible to the Ukrainian community.

The article proves that the range of issues related to reproductive and sexual health is an important area that requires a separate scientific review. At most, the current demand for analysis of adolescent reproductive health issues is due to the needs of the formation of the future generation, procreation and national prosperity of the state and nation. Objective of the study: to analyze the trends in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals regarding the appropriate level of provision and protection of reproductive and sexual health of adolescents and to identify social and cultural-legal obstacles in achieving the specified task. Materials and methods. The results of the research are based on the analytical information of international bodies and the data of the author’s survey, which was conducted during 2023–2024 in different regions of Ukraine, the respondents were 346 teenagers. Three groups of key problems in the field of ensuring the right to reproductive health of adolescents were formed and analyzed: problems caused by socio-cultural trends (early marriages, early sexualization and the tradition of genital mutilation); environmental problems and trends in the negative state of the nation’s health; shortcomings of the health care system and informing the population about contraception. Results. It was found that the health care system often provides information in a form that is not accessible to adolescents, does not provide an adequate level of sexuality education. The insufficient number of specialized and adapted reproductive health programs for adolescents disrupts the system of early disease prevention, contributes to an increase in the level of child pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and other types of negative consequences. Conclusions. Shortcomings in the health care system, in particular, limited access to medical services, lack of specialists with appropriate qualifications, gaps in financing, etc., are a significant gap for the implementation of the studied right. Attention is drawn to the duty of a democratic state to create a system of providing medical services adapted for adolescents, which includes information and a mechanism of access to contraception, providing medical and preventive services.
The “brain-sparing” effect and thromboelastometric features of newborns with growth retardation
Authors: Leush S.S. , Slobodianyk O.Y. , Osadchuk S.V. , Ter-Tumasova A.G.
Published: December 2024

Background. The phenomenon of «brain-sparing» is usually seen as a protective response to placental insufficiency. However, there are many reasons to consider the protectiveness insufficient, even questionable. For example, due to the high incidence of hemorrhagic complications in newborns. Increased cerebral perfusion may be associated with postnatal functional and structural complications. A deficient intrauterine environment increases the risk of coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and metabolic syndrome.Objective of the study: to investigate an elastometric blood coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters in newborns with intrauterine growth retardation.Materials and methods. 42 children born at 28–34 weeks and 20 full-term babies with spectral dopplerometric blood flow in maternal and fetal vascular pools (uterine, umbilical and middle cerebral arteries) performed within 24–48 hours before birth were divided into three groups. The main group (group I) included 24 newborns in the period of 28-34 weeks with growth retardation. Comparison groups: 18 premature infants of the appropriate term without growth retardation (group II), 20 healthy full-term infants (group III).Blood samples from umbilical arteries were examined by the method of rotational thromboelastometry with the feb-tem® reagent. The parameters of volumetric blood flow in the specified vascular basins were determined by the Doppler ultrasound examination.Results. Synchronous acceleration of blood flow and a moderate decrease in resistance were observed in all the examined basins, except for the middle cerebral artery in fetuses with growth retardation, which fits into the definition of «brain spare». They also showed elastometric signs of increased coagulation ability – increased blood clot density and delayed blood lysis.Conclusions. The appearance of Doppler signs of the middle cerebral artery dilation and slowing of blood flow in its basin should be regarded as an advanced violation of the blood supply. The tendency to increase coagulation and slow fibrinolysis in neonates with growth retardation further complicates their neonatal prognosis. Such newborns require monitoring of the blood coagulation system and fibrinolysis in the early neonatal period.

Authors: Yadav Payal , Trambadia Dhwani , Rajani Bhakti , Tripathi Deepshikha , Ayanar Sargunaraj , Vaghasia Aarti
Published: December 2024

Background: A Caudal epidural block is considered as one of the most common regional techniques in pediatric anesthesia. The latest addition to the group of adjuvants for caudal analgesia is α2 agonists namely Clonidine and Dexmedetomidine. This study includes a comparison of clonidine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in caudal epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain relief in the pediatric population.
Methods: This study was performed on 60 children, aged 1 year to 6 years, of ASA physical status I and II, undergoing elective infra-umbilical surgeries under general anesthesia. The patients were assigned randomly into two groups of 30 patients each, caudal epidural was given in all patients according to their group, after giving general anaesthesia. Group A (n=30) - patient received 0.125% bupivacaine (1ml/kg) with 0.5mcg/kg Dexmedetomidine. Group B (n=30)- patient received 0.125% bupivacaine (1ml/kg) with 0.5mcg/kg Clonidine. The patients were observed postoperatively for the duration and effect of caudal analgesia, (using the CHEOPS Score - Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale), frequency and total dose of supplementary analgesic required, sedative effect (Modified Ramsay Sedation Score), perioperative hemodynamic parameters, and complications.
Results: The duration of Caudal analgesia without the need of supplementary analgesic is significantly higher in dexmedetomidine group (743 ± 73.6 min) than clonidine group (181.7 ± 53.60 min) and the total dose of supplementary analgesic (Inj. Paracetamol 15mg/kg i.v) required is significantly higher in clonidine group (491.5 ± 134.55 mg) as compared to dexmedetomidine group (236.5 ± 113.68 mg).
Conclusion: Addition of dexmedetomidine (0.5 mcg/kg) to caudal 0.125% bupivacaine (1ml/kg) produces a significantly longer duration of postoperative analgesia, less frequency, and dose of rescue analgesic required for postoperative analgesia in children, aged between 1 to 6 yrs as compared to a similar dose of clonidine used in caudal epidural for infra umbilical surgeries.

Authors: Dahmardeh Hanie
Published: December 2024

Background: Inserting a chest tube is a life-saving procedure for patients with chest trauma, but it is often associated with significant pain. To alleviate this discomfort, non-pharmacological methods such as acupressure can be employed. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure on pain during chest tube removal in patients with thoracic trauma.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved the selection of 204 patients with chest tubes following chest trauma in Zahedan in 2022. The through patients were selected purposefully and Non-random allocation divided into two intervention and control groups of 102 people. The intervention group received acupressure treatment, while the control group did not.  Pain levels of the patients were measured using a pain intensity scale on both the day of chest tube insertion and the day of removal. The data were analyzed using statistical test such as independent-t, paired-t and chi-square statistical tests within the SPSS 26 software.
Results: The normality of the main variable was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. The significance level for the pain variable was found to be less than 0.05 (P<0.001), indicating a non-normal distribution. Therefore, the Mann-Whitney U test was utilized for data analysis. The results of the Mann-Whitney test revealed that before the intervention, the mean pain scores were 9.46±0.69 in the intervention group and 9.47±0.65 in the control group. After the intervention, the mean pain scores were 7.11±0.98 in the intervention group and 9.39±0.90 in the control group. Based on the Mann-Whitney U value obtained from the comparison of the two groups before and after the intervention, it can be concluded that the intervention had a significant effect on reducing pain (Table 2).
Conclusion: The insertion and removal of chest tube after trauma can be an extremely painful experiences for individuals. Considering the crucial role of nurses, non-pharmacological methods such as acupressure can be used to alleviate their pain. Acupressure is a cost-effective, accessible, and readily available approach that can be utilized in this context.

Background: Clinical education is a key step in medical education. The study aimed to evaluate clinical education in undergraduate medical education programs based on the Four-Component Instructional Design (4C/ID) model.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in 2023-2024. Fifteen departments where medical students studied the clerkship and internship courses were evaluated. An evaluation checklist was used including four domains, 23 questions, and 100 items. The evaluation was implemented in three steps including "Preparation of evaluation", "Execution of evaluation" and "Preparation of evaluation report and application of results". Data were analyzed using descriptive tests (mean, standard deviation, SD, and frequency).
Results: The findings showed that the status of the departments in the "educational goals and learning tasks" domain in the clerkship and internship courses were 48.33 and 49.26, which achieved the highest level of compliance. The lowest compliance reported in the domain of "practice opportunities" was 14.30 and 15.77 in the clerkship and internship courses. The compliance in the domain of "procedural information in educational events" in the clerkship courses was 33.15 and in the internship courses was 36.17 and in the domain of "supportive information" in the clerkship courses was 24.36 and internship was 23.46, indicating a medium to a low level of compliance.
Conclusion: Clinical learning is recognized as a complex learning, which requires supportive information and practice opportunities for learning. The results showed that lower compliance was reported in the domains of "practice opportunities" and "supportive information" in the educational department clerkship and internships. Therefore, it is recommended to plan for the development of support resources on various platforms. It also requires an appropriate educational design to deliver practice opportunities in simulation and workplace environments in undergraduate medical education.

Authors: Jesus Beatriz Pereira de , Nobre Thalita Lacerda
Published: December 2024

O artigo examina as bolhas sociais e o discurso de ódio nas redes. Inicialmente, explora como os grupos sociais são essenciais para a formação do indivíduo e como a busca por similaridade leva à rejeição das diferenças, conforme a teoria psicanalítica do "narcisismo das pequenas diferenças". A metodologia consiste em análise teórica de textos clássicos e artigos acadêmicos sobre sociedade, psicologia, e processos grupais, visando compreender sobre o fenômeno da formação de “bolhas sociais” e da produção de discurso de ódio por esses grupos presentes nas redes sociais digitais. Os resultados indicam que o narcisismo excessivo leva ao isolamento em grupos homogêneos, recusando diferenças e gerando discursos de ódio como mecanismo de defesa, facilitado pelo ambiente virtual facilita o anonimato. Conclui-se que essas bolhas resultam de um processo psíquico de intolerância ao diferente, exacerbado pela dinâmica das redes sociais.

Authors: Krupowicz Joanna
Published: December 2024

Zanieczyszczenia powietrza pochodzą w znaczącej części ze źródeł antropogenicznych (tzw. niska emisja), a ośrodki miejskie są podstawowym źródłem emisji tych zanieczyszczeń. Zanieczyszczenie powietrza ma potwierdzony w badaniach negatywny wpływ na zdrowie i jest powodem kilkudziesięciu tysięcy zgonów rocznie w Polsce. Celem badania jest ocena współwystępowania zanieczyszczenia powietrza pyłami i umieralności w wybranych miastach w Polsce w latach 2010–2022. Szukano odpowiedzi na pytanie badawcze: jaki charakter ma związek zanieczyszczenia pyłami z umieralnością powodowaną chorobami układu krążenia, oddechowego i nowotworami w miastach w Polsce? Przeprowadzono analizę współczynnika korelacji rho Spearmana z uwzględnieniem opóźnień w czasie między zmiennymi charakteryzującymi zanieczyszczenie pyłami (stężenie pyłów PM2,5, PM10 i liczba dni przekroczenia normy pyłów PM10) a umieralnością (współczynnik zgonów z powodu chorób układu krążenia, oddechowego i nowotworów). Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają negatywny związek zanieczyszczenia powietrza i zdrowia mieszkańców obszarów miejskich w Polsce.

Background: Islet transplantation is a potential treatment option for selected patients with type 1 diabetes. The limited supply of human islet from cadavers and poor islet yield remains a significant barrier to progress in the field. So, the use of porcine islets holds great promise for large scale application for the transplantation of the islet. The primary aim of this study was to describe the gross and morphological studies of the porcine pancreas to rule out its similarity to human pancreas. Methods: Pancreas was collected from eight apparently healthy Large White Yorkshire pig (6-7 months of age). The gross and morphological studies were analyzed by using different staining techniques. Result: The pancreas appeared as pale pink triangular lobulated gland located along the dorsal aspect of the abdominal cavity behind the stomach having exocrine and endocrine part. Histologically, two types of acinar cell were identified i.e. active and resting acinar cells. The islets were richly vascularized and were separated from the exocrine acini by a thin layer of collagen, elastic and reticular fibers which were seen extending into the interior of the islets. Mainly three types of cells were observed in islets i.e. alpha (A), beta (B) and delta (D) cells. Epithelial duct and secretory cells showed strong positive reaction for both Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and Alcian Blue (pH-2.5) whereas islets of Langerhans showed moderate activity for both.

Authors: Lin-Lin Pei , Ruo-Tong Wang , Wen-Hao Wang , Kai Hu , Xin Xu , Chun-Jie Liu
Published: December 2024

Background: The study elucidated the effects of reproductive hormones on the developmental potential of oocytes in Hainan lamb/adult goats by analyzing the changes in the concentrations of reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, 17β-E2) in Hainan lamb/adult goat serum. Methods: The experiment used radioimmunoassay to detect follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), oestradiol (17β-E2), concentrations in the serum of Hainan goats (3-month-old/18-month-old) during different oestrous cycles and to analyze the changing pattern of hormones. Result: The results showed that the number of follicles obtained in lambs was significantly higher than in adult goats (P less than 0.05), but the quality of follicles in lambs was poor and the number of available oocytes in them was lower than in adult goats. During the estrous cycle, adult black goats exhibit peak serum concentrations of FSH and LH on the 13th day, reaching 2.73 ng/mL and 5.69 ng/mL, respectively. In lamb goats, FSH reaches its peak concentration on the 15th day at 2.56 ng/mL, while LH peaks on the 13th day at 5.13 ng/mL. On the 15th day, both adult black goats and lamb goats experience the lowest serum concentrations of 17β-E2, at 4.42 ng/mL and 7.63 ng/mL, respectively. The serum concentrations of FSH and 17β-E2 in adult black goats are significantly higher than those in lamb goats (P less than 0.05) In summary, FSH and 17β-E2 can promote the maturation and development of oocytes in Hainan 3-month-old lamb goats, which can be injected with the corresponding concentration of hormones on the 15th day during the synchronized estrus in Hainan 3-month-old lamb goats, to improve the quality and quantity of oocytes, to better utilize the in vitro embryonic production performance of the young animals and to accelerate the acquisition of good livestock breeds.

Published: December 2024

Background: Using natural products as potential anticancer and antimicrobial agents has gained significant attention. Methods: This study investigated the anticancer and antimicrobial properties of Senecio flavus by using MTT and well-diffusion assays, respectively. The study also examined the potential of S. flavus extracts to induce apoptosis in liver cancer cells using light and fluorescent microscopy. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized to identify the phyto-compounds, which were subsequently analyzed through molecular docking using AutoDock Vina 1.1.2. Result: The difference in solvent polarity and extraction methods had a notable influence on the yield of the extracts. The saponin fraction had the highest yield (4.42%). Only the hexane extract demonstrated cytotoxic with IC50 values of 241.2 and 187.8 mg/mL for HepG2 and Huh-7 cells, respectively. Apoptotic morphological changes were observed in cells treated with the hexane extract. Additionally, apoptotic cell induction was confirmed using DAPI and AO-EB dual staining. The saponin fraction of S. flavus demonstrated antimicrobial activity, indicated by inhibition zones measuring 19 mm, 27 mm, 13 mm, 17 mm 12 mm against Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC® BAA-747), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes, respectively. GC-MS analysis identified a range of bioactive phyto-compounds within the hexane extract. The compounds (R)-3,5,8a-Trimethyl-7,8,8a,9-tetrahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-4(6H)-one and Tricyclo [20.8.0.0 (7,16)]triacontane, 1(22),7(16)-diepoxy- demonstrated the most favourable docking results with 4JAS and 5W1B, respectively, exhibiting a ΔG of -9.7 kcal/mol. This highlights the potential of S. flavus as a promising plant, which requires further investigation and development as a therapeutic agent.
O DISCURSO DA INOVAÇÃO EM SUA TELEOLOGIA E IMPACTOS NA ESFERA E NA PESQUISA PÚBLICAS
Authors: Hello Fernando Antonio
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho busca analisar o que convencionamos chamar de “discurso da inovação”, na tentativa de delinear sua teleologia, seus impactos e desdobramentos diferenciais na esfera e pesquisa públicas, avançando de forma inter e transdisciplinar, utilizando o método estruturalista na construção de seu campo, por aproximações sucessivas. Na análise deste discurso, advindo da esfera privada, problematizando sua base essencialmente neoliberal e competitiva, buscamos novas possibilidades para a ressignificação, transformação, superação de sua teleologia no éthos e modus operandi da esfera e da pesquisa públicas, vocacionadas à busca de inovações tecnológicas em alcance social, desenvolvimento socioeconômico amplo, geração de valor público, e avanços sociais no combate à desigualdade.
Concluímos que, em resposta ao imperativo desse discurso, caberia à esfera pública o papel de melhor gerir e orquestrar políticas públicas, em novas articulações entre ciência, tecnologia e desenvolvimento socioeconômico com responsabilidade social, através da adoção de modelos não menos inovadores na gestão, na articulação e protagonismo político entre atores.

Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho buscou aferir a contribuição do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar para a alimentação das famílias durante o período de pandemia, considerando a alteração na forma de implementação do programa. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas e as análises foram conduzidas por meio do Voyant e do teste de Spearman. As famílias tinham de 1 a 2 crianças em idade escolar e de 2 a 6 moradores por residência, com uma média de 4 pessoas. Durante a pandemia, 63,63% não perderam o emprego, mas 28,6% tiveram redução de renda. Metade das famílias recebeu auxílio governamental. Em relação às cestas do programa, 81,8% receberam pelo menos uma. A análise mostrou acesso limitado às cestas de alimentos, destacando a necessidade de aprimorar a distribuição. Apesar disso, os alimentos foram considerados vitais para o bem-estar familiar. A baixa renda per capita das famílias enfatiza a importância de políticas públicas voltadas para a vulnerabilidade social e econômica. O programa, embora não tenha sido totalmente eficaz durante a pandemia, foi avaliado positivamente, destacando a necessidade de políticas públicas resilientes e adaptáveis.
From Translation to Naturalization, from Translanguaging to Lingua Universalis
Authors: Franca Daniele
Published: December 2024

In many multilingual societies, English serves as a Lingua Franca, which refers to the use of English language as a way to communicate among speakers with diverse native languages, representing a bridge language. It is noteworthy that in these sociolinguistic multilingual settings language users are bilinguals, acting some language practices requiring specific cognitive strategies. The language practices that occur are languaging, translanguaging, and translation. Two previously reported cognitive strategies are discussed in the present paper as being used in multicultural, multilingual settings, codeswitching and code-mixing, which are correlated with two language practices, languaging and translanguaging, respectively. Moreover, here, in the present paper, a novel cognitive strategy is identified and introduced for the first time, the ‘two-way code-flowing’, which is coupled with the ‘naturalization process’ during translation. Differently from code-switching and codemixing, in two-way code-flowing, the languages flow back and forth reciprocally, and the activity always yields only one language.
Mandibular torus in Japanese people
Authors: Yamada Hiroyuki
Published: December 2024

The frequency of occurrence of mandibular torus was nearly 80% in individuals during the Jomon period, when people ate deer and wild boar. Over time, however, this frequency has decreased due to the softening of food, and in modern times it has decreased to nearly 26%. Recently, however, it has increased to 74%. The reason for this is thought to be that modern humans have a longer life span than the Jomon, and the duration of use of the teeth for chewing has increased accompanyingly. Therefore, it is thought that the force of chewing objects with the teeth over a long period of time led to the accumulation of additions to the mandible, resulting in the development of a mandibular torus.

Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Explorar como as dimensões da religiosidade e da docência se entrelaçam nas narrativas de professoras do Ensino Fundamental – anos iniciais, em uma escola confessional adventista. O estudo investiga a identidade como um conceito dinâmico e multifacetado, influenciado por movimentos, contradições e coerências em papéis pessoais e profissionais.
Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo e exploratório utilizando entrevistas fenomenológicas reflexivas com duas professoras do Ensino Fundamental – anos iniciais de um colégio adventista na Grande São Paulo. A pesquisa foi fundamentada na Teoria da Identidade Humana de Antônio da Costa Ciampa, com foco na interseção das dimensões pessoais e profissionais moldadas pela socialização religiosa.
Resultados: Os resultados revelaram que as identidades das participantes são marcadas pela metamorfose e moldadas pelos papéis assumidos ao longo do tempo, influenciados pela adoção de valores cristão-adventistas. Esses papéis emergem dos processos de socialização primária e secundária e impactam significativamente as práticas docentes dentro do modelo educacional adventista.
Conclusões: O estudo destaca a relação intrincada entre identidades religiosas e profissionais, enfatizando como os valores adventistas influenciam as práticas de ensino. As narrativas das participantes refletem identidades dinâmicas caracterizadas por transformação e coerência nas esferas profissionais e pessoais. Recomenda-se novas pesquisas para explorar a emancipação identitária e a interação entre religiosidade e docência em contextos educacionais diversos.
Estudo sobre a autoavaliação de competências em docentes universitários da rede de educação adventista
Authors: Silva Soares Hellen Mercês , Soares Conceição Ana Flávia
Published: December 2024

Objetivo: O objetivo da pesquisa é avaliar o nível de desempenho que docentes universitários da Rede de Educação Adventista de Ensino Superior Brasileira atribuem a si mesmo nas competências para a educação de adultos, desde uma perspectiva andragógica. Entende-se, portanto, que o papel do docente em contextos universitários difere do ensino básico exigindo competências e habilidades distintas da atuação na educação infantil. Justifica-se que, embora a prática da educação de adultos seja uma preocupação antiga, pesquisas nessa temática são relativamente recentes. 
Métodos: A metodologia utilizou-se da amostragem não probabilística por conveniência em docentes do Ensino Superior da Rede de Educação Adventista, o instrumento de coleta de dados foi composto por duas partes: dados de caracterização da população e a escala de classificação autodiagnostica de competências para o papel do educador adulto.
Resultados: Na literatura brasileira há poucos estudos que abordam competências de professores para trabalhar com educação de adultos, não havendo estudos que mensuram tais competências em professores que atuam em universidades na perspectiva andragógica no contexto da Educação Adventista Superior Brasileira. Os resultados indicaram que os participantes deste estudo, de acordo com suas respostas, estão no nível desejado de suas habilidades e competências andragógicas. 
Conclusão: Conclui-se que o perfil levantado pelos docentes indica uma educação adventista que visa atender às necessidades gerais de aprendizagens, formando alunos pensantes e criativos, incentivando a transformação de conhecimentos e atitudes, a partir de soluções de problemas relacionados ao cotidiano dos educandos.

Conclusão: Jogos de tabuleiro contemporâneos mostraram-se eficazes no estímulo das FE, indicando seu potencial como ferramenta educativa. A ampliação do tempo de intervenção e do número de participantes pode fortalecer futuras análises.
The concept of understanding the sources (forms) of law in the material, ideological and legal perspective
Authors: Maksimova Irina M.
Published: December 2024

Issues related to the origins (forms) of law are discussed. It is noted that law, as a legal and social pheno-menon, is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon reflecting the level of society and the state development at a certain historical stage. In modern times, the role of law as social relations’ universal regulator, an instrument for maintaining order, and individual rights guarantor is increasing. The legal regulation effectiveness depends largely on how accurately legislation reflects the society development needs. The concept of law understanding sources (forms) can be approached from three perspectives: material, ideological, and legal. It can be concluded that the distinction between the material, ideational, and legal law sources lies in the fact that the former two categories give rise to the need for legal regulation, creating its prerequisites and determining the general direction, while legal sources themselves constitute the formal expression of legal norms, imbuing them with a generally binding quality. Nonetheless, all these categories of sources exist in a dialectical unity and interrelation, forming an integrated system of elements that contribute to the formation of law.
Criminal-legal characteristics and problems of qualification of crimes infringing on the rights of orphans and children left without parental care to provide comfortable living quarters
Authors: Ziganshin Timur R.
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the increasing number of criminal cases initiated and investigated re-lated to the non-realization by officials of state bodies and local governments of the rights of orphaned children and children left without parental care to provide comfortable accommodation. The problems of qualification of actions of officials authorized to exercise such rights, forming signs of criminal acts in their implementation, are considered. The purpose of the study is the need to consider possible investigative situations and determine an acceptable criminal law characteristic. The extensive judicial practice is studied and analyzed, and a unified approach to the issue of qualifications has been developed. It is concluded that the peculiarity of the investigation of these crimes is due to the formally developed different approaches to assessing the actions or inaction of officials with virtually similar signs of criminal acts. This differentiated approach introduces a certain imbalance in the issues of qualification of crimes and consideration of criminal cases by the courts on the merits. The current legislation contains a norm obliging the subjects of the Russian Federation to provide well-maintained accommodation of a specialized housing stock once under lease agreements for specialized accommodation, and in the absence of other norms, it is necessary to continue searching for a solution, including a regulatory legal one that allows not only to maximize the protection of the housing rights of orphans and children left without parental care, but also to ensure a balance of interests of the participants in these relations. Thus, the study is developed a broader approach to this problem compared to the existing one, focused on solving it through the actual assignment of functions to the investigators of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to restore violated rights.
To Draw a Line : National Identities and their Political Consequences
Authors:   , May Antonia Carolin
Published: December 2024

Bridging research on national identity, social psychology, and voting literature, this cumulative dissertation investigates the effect of national identity on political preferences and political behaviour. Thereby, two key aspects of this relationship at the individual level are focused: the overall relationship between national identity and political preferences, and the translation of this relationship into political behaviour. Due to the lack of consensus in national identity research on how to define and measure national identity, as well as on which dimension(s) of national identity best explains far-right attraction, addressing the question of who is attracted to or repelled by far-right positions inevitably requires first addressing this conceptual-methodological gap in national identity research. To address these questions, the research programme comprises of six main areas: (i) Proposing a new person-centred approach to identify how citizens conceptualise their national in-group, while (ii) ad-dressing national identity’s multidimensionality and (iii) investigating the relationship between the individual dimensions of national identity and political preferences. Build-ing on the findings of these first three steps, the research programme also covers (iv) examining whether national identity builds the breeding ground for voting decisions and (v) investigating the temporality of the overall relationship between national identity and voting. Furthermore, the latter includes (vi) testing for the role of political elite discours-es and mass media reporting, while testing for both salience and directed messages in the information environment.
O uso das imagens do livro Amoras como potencialidade na construção das identidades dos negros surdos
Authors: Alessandra Dias e Silva  , Sheila Martins dos Santos  , Dionysio Renata Barbosa
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo é o resultado de reflexões sobre o uso de imagens na Educação de Surdos em prol da construção de identidades de estudantes Negros Surdos na Educação Básica. Essa ideia surgiu a partir de discussões sobre a importância de decolonizar espaços, olhar para as diversas identidades e reconhecer as diferenças em espaços interculturais. Assim, caminhamos com pesquisadoras e pesquisadores da área da Educação de Surdos e da educação das relações étnico-raciais com o intuito de trazer sustentação teórica para as nossas discussões. Trazemos como metodologia a pesquisa narrativa, uma vez que o tema está imbricado com nossas vivências e experiências educacionais. Assim, trazemos o livro Amora do Emicida e sua potente história para analisar as potencialidades de uso das imagens ali contidas para a educação bilíngue de Surdos por meio de ações pedagógicas antirracistas. Com isso, as imagens foram debatidas a partir de uma visualidade aplicada, elementos semióticos, interatividade e identificação. Em síntese, consideramos as imagens potentes uma vez que podem ser usadas para a construção da consciência racial, discutir o racismo naturalizado em situações cotidianas, trabalhar a diversidade e o respeito. Além disso, acreditamos que elas podem contribuir para a criação de identidades dos estudantes pela identificação e diferenciação de entes culturais, identitários por meio da visualidade.
Oficina de máquinas e robótica: olhares pregressos sobre um espaço de fazer científico
Authors: Magro Dionysio Luis Gustavo , Hugo Henrique de Abreu Pinto  , Varela Saturnino Gustavo Henrique , Dionysio Renata Barbosa
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo vem apresentar a Oficina de Máquinas e Robótica construída no ano de 2023 por professores de Química e Física, visando oferecer um cenário de ensino de Ciências mais interativo e colaborativo. Diante desse horizonte, os docentes construíram uma proposta que apresenta o estudante Surdo como elemento central da construção do conhecimento, ou seja, é por meio de seu protagonismo que os projetos são criados e desenvolvidos de forma colaborativa, envolvendo sujeitos com habilidades e funções diferentes em prol da construção coletiva. Assim, não existe um planejamento fechado de atividades a serem desenvolvidas, o que torna o projeto mais flexível  quanto às criações. Por outro lado, de acordo com a demanda dos alunos, a introdução dos conceitos científicos vai sendo feita pelos professores, o que torna o processo de ensino e aprendizagem dinâmico. Durante as explicações, buscamos relacionar as práticas estudadas a questões de Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, para que os alunos pudessem entender quais são as implicações dos fenômenos químicos e físicos que estão vivenciando em seus respectivos cotidianos. Por fim, acreditamos que a oficina oportuniza situações de aprendizagem diferenciadas que podem promover a autonomia, a construção individual e coletiva do conhecimento, além de impulsionar o desenvolvimento  linguístico e promover argumentações.

Published: December 2024

У роботі досліджено вплив розміщення малих стільників SC (small sell) на існуючу гетерогенно-розсіяну макростільникову MC (macro cellular) мережу. Розглянуто вплив пропонованого алгоритму розгортання малих стільників на основі поєднання алгоритмів K-середніх та щільності користувачів KUD (K-means and User Density) на існуючу MC мережу. Для дослідження згенеровані неоднорідні та нерівномірні розподіли 50 та 100 користувачів із застосуванням процесу Кокса. Результати моделювання та побудовані графіки ілюструють поступове зростання середньої пропускної здатності користувачів, сумарної швидкості та енергоефективності при перекритті 8 SC з використанням запропонованого алгоритму KUD в існуючій MC мережі.

В роботі коротко наведено результати попередніх досліджень, в ході яких визначено, що ймовірною причиною появи значної похибки при розрахунку величини втрат одношарової обмотки індуктивного елемента без осердя за аналітичною методикою Ferreira в ультразвуковому діапазоні частот, є нехтування впливом на розподіл струму у витках деяких геометричних параметрів обмотки, таких як її діаметр та кількість витків. Таким чином, розрахунковий вираз даної методики потребує уточнення шляхом внесення до нього знехтуваних геометричних параметрів. Визначено, що аналітичним шляхом вирішити дану задачу складно, тому запропоновано її вирішення емпіричним способом. За допомогою комп’ютерного моделювання проведено моделювання величини втрат одношарової обмотки без осердя для найбільш поширених на практиці значень діаметрів обмотки, діаметрів провідників, кількості витків та робочих частот. Наведено ряд залежностей, на основі яких визначено вид уточнюючих виразів, спосіб їх внесення у розрахунковий вираз як доповнюючих множників, і розраховано відповідні поправочні коефіцієнти. Виконано порівняння результатів розрахунку величини втрат за уточненим виразом та початковим. Визначено, що розбіжність при порівнянні теоретичних та експериментальних результатів змінилася з 59,5 до 11% при зміні кількості витків, та з 63 до 4% при врахуванні впливу діаметру намотки.
Запропоновано альтернативний спосіб розрахунку величини втрат одношарових обмоток для найбільш поширених конкретних практичних випадків. На основі модельованих даних побудовано криві залежностей величини втрат обмотки від вказаних геометричних параметрів. Обрано найбільш оптимальний тип апроксимуючої функції, виконано апроксимацію, та розраховано апроксимуючі коефіцієнти для діаметру провідника, діаметру каркасу, та кількості витків обмотки для різних робочих частот.
