Authors: Shrestha Pragya , Mansur Dil Islam , Mehta Dilip Kumar , Shrestha Sheprala , Shrestha Anupama
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Nutrient foramen is the largest opening on the shaft of the femur that conveys nutrient artery into the marrow cavity. Knowledge on locations of nutrient foramina is essential during surgical procedures as well as to rule out if the fracture line passes through the foramina. The purpose of the study was to determine the number and position of nutrient foramina in relation to length and topography of the femur. Methods: The study model was descriptive, cross-sectional study that included 151 femurs (71 right and 80 left side). The total number, location, and direction of nutrient foramina were investigated. Total length of femur and distance of foramen from the proximal end was measured with the 500mm 20" Digital Vernier Nib Jaw Caliper Metric/ Imperial Machine-DRO and finally Foraminal Index was calculated. Results: The analysis revealed 119(78.81%) of the femurs with single nutrient foramen, 31(20.52%) with double and 1(0.67%) with triple nutrient foramina. Foraminal Index II was found in 74(86.05%) on right side and 90(91.84%) on left side. The most common location of nutrient foramen was the medial lip of linea aspera (n= 77, 41.85%). All of the foramina were directed towards the proximal end. Conclusion: The present study has reported the majority of nutrient foramina located in the middle third of femur along the linea aspera. Thus, linea aspera should not be stripped off during surgical procedures to avoid damage to the nutrient arteries.

Authors: Nepal Samata , Atreya Alok , Kanchan Tanuj
Published: June 2024

Introduction: In Nepal, morbidity and mortality from Hymenoptera stings is mainly from three commonly encountered insects: hornets (local: aringal), wasps (local: barulo) and honey bees (local: mahuri). The present study documents the incidence of hymenoptera sting in Western Region of Nepal and explores the cause behind such unprovoked attack upon human subjects. Methods: This hospital-based study included all the patients with history of insect sting attending the Emergency Department of Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara from May 2015 till November 2015. Results: Of total 16 cases during the study period three were brought dead cases. The alleged insect happened to be bee in two cases, hornet in two cases, and wasp in eight cases with a case of unidentified insect sting. Severe burning pain with swelling, redness and itching were the common presenting symptom in all the admitted patients (n=13). Conclusion: Agricultural activity during the day was the cause of most unprovoked stings followed by deliberate destruction of the insect hive. Immediate medical attention in the nearby health care facility to the victims will save mortality. The health care facility also needs to have surplus lifesaving medication to counteract the life-threatening anaphylaxis reactions from such stings.

Authors: Koju Bibek , Joshi Lok Raj , Chaudhary Shaligram , Shrestha Anupama
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Hemispheric brain preference means using one side of the brain over the other to learn. Hemispheric brain preference may influence one’s learning style. This study aimed to investigate hemispheric brain preference and its relation with academic parameters in medical students. Methods: Four hundred participants were included in the study by cluster random sampling. Using self-administered questionnaires, data on personal profile (name, age, sex, handedness, academic score, study method, study hours per day and study pattern) and hemispheric brain dominance was collected. Open Hemispheric Brain Dominance Scale 1.0 (2015) was used to determine the hemispheric brain dominance. Result: Participants having no clear hemispheric brain preference (46.75%) were in majority followed by those with left hemispheric brain preference (29.25%) and then those with right hemispheric brain preference (24%). There was a statistically significant difference in academic score of students with different hemispheric brain preference (p=0.021). Students with left brain preference had the highest academic score (63.85±11.78) and those with no clear preference had the lowest (59.96±11.64). Also, students with left hemispheric brain preference would study more regularly and would spend more time in study per day. Conclusion: In our sample, participants with left hemispheric brain preference were found to have the highest mean academic score but they also spent more time in study and also studied regularly throughout the semester. As this study shows diversity in brain preference among medical students, we recommend a good mix of various teaching learning methods for better learning of the entire class.
Rethinking on the Anzaf Tablet
Authors: Tan Armağan
Published: June 2024

At the citadel of Van-Yukarı Anzaf, one of the important royal settlements built during the reign of the Urartian king Minua, during the 2001 archaeological excavations, an unsealed inventory tablet, which has no similar example in Urartian sources so far, was found. In the first publications of this unique tablet, which probably records the amount of weapons distributed, the back side was thought to be the front side. However, according to our new evaluations, it is understood that the beginning of the tablet is the other side. This new update not only led to a change in the content, but also helped to place the Anzaf Tablet in a more meaningful framework within Urartian History and bureaucratic sources. It was observed that this "unit", consisting of 15 people in total, was mostly sorted according to a hierarchical order within itself. These details observed in the content of the tablet made it possible to make some suggestions about the tablet as a whole. It is thought that there may be an indirect similarity with other bureaucratic correspondences of Urartian and some visual elements found on metal artefacts. In addition, although not directly mentioned in the tablet, it has been suggested that the personnel list mentioned only as an assumption may be about the distribution of weapons belonging to the chariots and the cavalry soldiers accompanying them.

Authors: Moreno Matilde Zornoza , Pérez Jaime , Moreno María Gómez , Gómez María Valcárcel , Martínez Marta Pérez , Miñarro Francisca Tornel
Published: June 2024

Background: During the 2022-23 season, three autonomous communities
recommended influenza vaccination for all children between 6 and 59
months. The objective is to evaluate the adverse effects associated with
the administered influenza vaccines in the Region of Murcia, as well as
their influence on the recommendation of the same to acquaintances or
repetition in future seasons. Material and methods: Cross-sectional
descriptive study with an online questionnaire sent to the parents of
vaccinated minors of 6-23 months of age receiving inactivated
intramuscular vaccine (IIV) or 24-59 months of age receiving
live-attenuated intranasal vaccine (LAIV). Results: among 4,971 surveys
received the most common adverse effect for LAIV and IIV were runny nose
(40.90%) and local pain (31.94%) respectively. Sixty percent of
adverse effects lasted ≤1 day, and around 10% lasted ≥3 days. The
interference of adverse effects with the minor’s daily life was very
infrequent (3.32%), as was the need for visiting the medical office
(2.68%). Overall, 96.44% of parents would recommend influenza
vaccination to friends and relatives after the experience. Only 3.56%
would not recommend it, while 1.68% would not vaccinate their child
against influenza again. The most frequently cited reason being adverse
effects. Conclusions: Our study shows the safety of influenza vaccines.
Despite the low impact of adverse effects, they influence some parents
in their intention to continue vaccinating or recommending it to
acquaintances, which remarks the need to reinforce the information given
to parents so that this fact does not influence.
Modeling quasar variability through self-organizing map-based neural process
Authors: Cvorovic-Hajdinjak I.
Published: June 2024

Conditional Neural Process (QNPy) has shown to be a good tool for modeling
quasar light curves. However, given the complex nature of the source and
hence the data represented by light curves, processing could be
time-consuming. In some cases, accuracy is not good enough for further
analysis. In an attempt to upgrade QNPy, we examine the effect of the
prepossessing quasar light curves via the Self-Organizing Map (SOM)
algorithm on modeling a large number of quasar light curves. After applying
SOM on the SWIFT/BAT data and modeling curves from several clusters, results
show the Conditional Neural Process performs better after the SOM
clustering. We conclude that the SOM clustering of quasar light curves could
be a beneficial prepossessing method for QNPy.

Family Planning Policy in China and the Gender Equality in Family and Labor Market
Authors: Ling Tang , Yang Liu
Published: June 2024

This article examines the effects of China’s Family Planning Policy (FPP) on the gender wealth gap and the division of housework within Chinese families. Initially, the study applies dependency theory to analyze the influence of the FPP on Chinese families. Firstly, we find that there was no significant gender wealth gap during the One-Child Policy (OCP) period, which indicates that the OCP indirectly reduced the economic dependence of Chinese women on their husbands by narrowing the gender wealth gap. Secondly, despite an increase in male participation in housework during the OCP, the dependency of males on females for housework and childcare remained unchanged. These factors exerted pressure on Chinese women and influenced their overall life satisfaction.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia has an abundant amount of industry. Production in large, medium, and small industries still uses gas and oil as fuel sources. The fuel sources used still come from non-renewable energy. There is a need for alternative use of renewable energy to reduce the use of non-renewable energy. One solution is the use of rice husk biomass as a fuel source. Rice husk is still often considered as waste despite its many utilizations. The utilization of rice husk waste must be improved to increase its beneficial value. Rice husk waste can be utilized as a fuel source in a husk furnace. A husk furnace is a cooking device in which the fuel (rice husk) is burned using direct combustion. This research aims to optimize the efficiency of the husk furnace by varying the size of the oxygen flow valve hole and the mass of water being heated. Tests were conducted on four variations of oxygen flow valve hole size, namely, 36x27 cm2, 36x34 cm2, 43x34 cm2, and 50x34 cm2, and two variations of water mass (6 and 18 kg). The research was conducted by heating water using the Water Boiling Test method with test parameters: heating time, fuel consumption rate, energy in, energy out, heat efficiency, heat transfer rate, and ash and charcoal yield. The significant efficiency value can be used as a reference for small-scale industrial rice husk furnaces. The most significant efficiency in the study was 54.99%, achieved by a 43x34 cm2 valve hole for heating 18 kg of water. Based on the most effective efficiency value gained, the expansion of the oxygen flow valve hole is sufficient to be used as a test parameter to test the optimization of small industrial-scale husk furnaces.
Do Linguistic Factors Impact Phonological Awareness in L2? A Study of Phonological Awareness of English by Adult Saudi Learners
Authors: Alasmari Amal
Published: June 2024

The study explores the impact of certain linguistic factors on phonological awareness ability in the second language. This study examines the effect of three linguistic factors on Saudi university students’ L2 phonological awareness: the linguistic environment (single vs. clustered), the linguistic affiliation of the phoneme (novel vs. non-novel), and the phonological representation of the lexical item that contains the target phoneme (real-word vs. non-word). The linguistic factors that are examined and controlled in this study represented essential differences between the participants’ L1 and L2, hence highlighting the effect of L1-L2 distance. The participants were 48 university students majoring in English language. Two phonological awareness tasks were administered, a phoneme deletion task and a phonological judgement task, to test phonological awareness at the phonemic and phonotactic levels. The results showed that the linguistic environment of the phoneme had a significant impact on the participants’ L2 phonological awareness. The linguistic affiliation of the target phoneme was another linguistic factor that affected the participants’ L2 phonological awareness. Their perception of novel L2 phonemes was considerably poorer than non-novel phonemes. This result confirms the validity of the linguistic affiliation hypothesis in explaining phonemic awareness in L2. Additionally, the results revealed that the quality of the phonological representation plays a significant role in the participants’ performance on the phonological awareness tasks in L2 and that the lexical status of the item affected this underlying phonological representation. The findings of this study offer theoretical and practical implications for the acquisition and teaching of a second language.

Published: June 2024

Language learners’ identities are no longer constant and stable but complicated, conflicting, and multidimensional (Darvin & Norton, 2023; Norton, 1997). Its users’ identities format language and those identities are dynamic because students engage in many discourses and negotiate their positions within diverse communities of practice. The main aim of this mixed-methods study is to explore how learning the English language impacts Saudi students’ identities and what factors contribute to it. To achieve these purposes, the study randomly recruited a sample of 60 male and female college-level students studying for a Bachelor of Education. in English language at Majmaah University’s College of Education – Saudi Arabia- were randomly recruited to complete online questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews were conducted individually with five male and five female high-achieving EFL English as a foreign language learner. The results showed that knowing English is highly valued in Saudi Arabia and essential to securing a good job and achieving personal financial success. The research participants expressed positive perceptions of the English language, native English speakers, and the culture of English-speaking nations, showing that they possessed both intrinsic solid and extrinsic motivational orientations. The outcomes of the interviews and questionnaires indicated that most respondents still needed to create a new foreign-language identity.

Published: June 2024

Interaction with high-risk families and providing social assistance to children from these families are among the priority issues considered within the framework of implementing Russian state social policy. The modern period of development of this industry is characterized by the active inclusion of volunteer practices in the process of socialization and prevention of deviant behavior among members of high-risk families, including through the formation of their subjectivity. One of the examples of volunteer practices analyzed in the study is the Ministry Training Project. By the method of content analysis, current social orders implemented within the framework of the project under study were systematized and described as one of the directions for interaction with families of the risk group and children from these families. The results of the study demonstrate differences in the degree of prevalence of Ministry Training Project practices in relation to at-risk families. The implementation of the project’s social orders is extended to only one category of this group – families raising disabled children and children with disabilities, while other categories (social orphans, antisocial families, single-parent families, etc.) are not represented within the framework of the project.

Authors:   Volgograd State University, Vasilenko Inna V. , Tkachenko Olga V. ,   Volgograd State University
Published: June 2024

In consumer society, individuals have the opportunity to stand out from the crowd, for instance, through clothing and the construction of their outward appearance. However, in practice, individuals often strive not to do so, opting for clothing that allows them to blend in and become part of a significant social group. Scientists studying consumer behavior have concluded that individuals navigate between their own preferences and the demands of the group. The authors of the article sought to test this hypothesis within the community of students in Volgograd, employing a qualitative sociological method – the focus group. Eleven students from three universities in Volgograd participated in the study. The results revealed that informants preferred to conform to the norms and rules of the community, highlighting the paradoxical of individualization in the field of consumer behavior of clothing style. Some participants in the study expressed a desire to appear differently, but unfortunately, their desires remain unfulfilled, and if they are realized, it is only on rare occasions such as café visits, parties, and photography sessions. By elucidating these dynamics, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities of identity construction and consumer culture in modern society.

Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Korobova Aleksandra P. , Leontiev Andrey V. ,   Samara State University of Economics
Published: June 2024

The challenges of improving legislation, legal technology, and the mechanism of legal regulation exist, perhaps, as long as the law itself exists. Thus, the question of how to best organize the legal life of society, directing it towards the desired course, remains relevant and gains prominence during pivotal moments in societal development. This particularly pertains to the formation of state legal policy, the development of strategic legal concepts, and their implementation in legal practice. Here, it is crucial to first define key concepts. This study attempts to understand the nature of legal policy, its involvement in political and legal spheres, the proportion of legal content versus political content within it, the nature of its interaction with legal policy on one hand, and law on the other, and consequently, in which field of scientific knowledge (political science, jurisprudence, sociology, philosophy) this phenomenon should be studied. The thesis is defended regarding the multidimensional nature of legal policy, allowing for its characterization as a compromise between political interests and legal needs.
Properties of Civil Law Services and Issues of Execution of a Contract for the Provision of Paid Services in Judicial Practice (Using the Example of Real Estate Activity)
Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Shpanagel Fyodor F.
Published: June 2024

Services in the field of civil law relations are becoming widespread. These processes increase the relevance of their study by scientists of different specialties: lawyers, economists, specialists in the field of information and communication technologies and others, including at the junction of various social sciences. A number of issues related to the functioning of the service market remain controversial, including the essence of the service and its properties. In civil law, services were studied by legal scholars both in the pre-revolutionary and subsequent periods as objects of civil rights and legal relations, the subject of civil law contracts, etc. The author attempts to identify all the properties of the service contained in the economic and legal scientific literature studied by him, establishes their hierarchy, and proposes a mega-property of the service. Insufficient development of legal issues of services contributes to a multitude of litigation on the execution of contracts for the provision of paid services. The article considers in detail the issues of registration of the fact of rendering services, and gives an assessment of the business habit (business custom) that has developed in the provision of services. The requirements for the act of acceptance and transfer of services to resolve disputes between counterparties are formulated.

The study examined the issues related to everyday life, information awareness and accessibility barriers, existing support measures. The discussions revealed that the main conflict-causing factor for this group is the manifestation of polarization and negative societal attitudes towards the special military operation and its participants. Representatives of their families often face misunderstanding in the family, among colleagues and acquaintances, sarcastic remarks about payments, as well as indifference of others to their experiences. The author examines the factors of insufficient awareness of prescribed support measures, specific difficulties in obtaining state-mandated benefits and preferences for military families.
Social Activity of the Disabled Population in the Urban Sociocultural Space as a Factor in Life Expectancy
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Pak Tatiana I.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the influence of sociocultural factors on the life expectancy of the disabled population of a metropolitan metropolis. Drawing upon the results of a sociological study conducted over the period of 2018–2022, encompassing both pre-COVID-19 and pandemic periods, the article elucidates the author’s interpretation of the category “disabled population”, its structure, and the specifics of leisure behavior during enforced social and self-isolation. It explores the socio-psychological mindset engendered by the pandemic as an extreme factor affecting life expectancy. The leisure behavior of the disabled population is examined as a reflection of the socio-cultural factor’s impact in extreme social conditions brought about by the pandemic’s progression and its transition into the calmer conditions of regular urban life. It is during this transition that the effect of the socio-cultural factor in its diverse forms on the life expectancy of the disabled population is measured – during the transition from social isolation to integration into various spheres of urban life.

Authors: Sabani Noraisikin , Salleh Sallimah , Jimmi Anita , Abdullah Shamsul Kamariah
Published: June 2024

The focus of this study is to investigate East Malaysian undergraduates’ behavioural intentions in personalising their learning using technology to promote learning inclusion. It is part of a project highlighting the accessibility and means of students of various backgrounds, particularly those deemed disadvantaged. The study’s participants are students from rural or semi-rural areas, pursuing their studies in public higher education institutions in Sarawak or Sabah. The paper’s main aim is to explore the use of personalised learning technologies among these students, as there is a lack of research examining behavioural intentions and how this demographic background affects their usage. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) as its theoretical framework, a quantitative approach was employed using questionnaires distributed to undergraduates in four public higher education institutions throughout Sarawak and Sabah. A total of 220 responses were collected, and the researchers employed the AMOS version 24 software to establish the reliability and validity of the questionnaire items, check the model fit, measure structural equation analyses, and examine the primary hypotheses of the theoretical framework. The findings indicate that a good model fit was obtained, with the Performance Expectancy and Student Agency construct demonstrating considerable influence in affecting the behavioural intentions of rural and semi-rural students in personalising their learning using digital technology.

The concept of self-care is not a new concept in the nursing field, but it is necessary to analyze it as there are still inconsistencies in its use and unclear definitions, especially in the context of breast cancer survivors.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the concept of self-care among breast cancer survivors by employing the Walker and Avant’s analysis method.
Methods: The Walker and Avant’s concept analysis method comprises of eight systematic steps. The literature search was conducted through electronic databases, such as ScienceDirect, MEDLINE, EBSCO, ProQuest and SAGE, with the search constraints ranging from 2003 to 2023.
Results: The literature search identified 115 articles in the fields of medicine, nursing, sociology, psychology, economics, anthropology, pharmacy, computer science and midwifery. Following the analysis, 30 articles were selected for this study. The concept of self-care was defined as: 1) survivor activity; 2) survivor awareness; 3) self-management; 4) prevention of morbidity and recurrence; 5) improved health. Meanwhile, the concept’s antecedents included self-efficacy, self-care agency and social support, and the consequences included symptom control, improved coping, improved well-being, and improved quality of life.
Conclusions: Understanding the attributes of self-care among breast cancer survivors along with their antecedents and consequences could facilitate its development in nursing practices. The self-care concept is utilized for self-care assessment and implementation of appropriate interventions in the context of breast cancer survivors who have completed the therapy.
estereotipos de género a la luz de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos: un estudio de los casos contenciosos contra México
Authors: Aguilar Ramos Carolina
Published: June 2024

La Convención de Belém do Pará es uno de los instrumentos más importantes para la protección de los derechos de las mujeres en América Latina y el Caribe al establecer la adopción de medidas apropiadas para modificar las manifestaciones de violencia contra la mujer, como es el caso de los estereotipos de género. A pesar de que dicha Convención fue ratificada por México en 1998, y que de ello se desprende su obligatoriedad en sede interna, es perceptible que los estereotipos de género juegan un papel importante en los procesos jurisdiccionales del país. En ese sentido, el objetivo del presente trabajo es conocer la percepción de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH) sobre la actuación del Estado mexicano en este tema. Para ello, se han identificado cinco casos en los que se reafirma la presencia de estas prácticas en la impartición de justicia nacional. Este estudio fue realizado a partir de la revisión documental de la jurisprudencia de la Corte IDH en contraste con la normatividad aplicable a la materia. De dicho ejercicio, se concluye que los estereotipos de género influyen de forma directa en la debida diligencia de los agentes estatales vulnerando el derecho de acceso a la justicia de las víctimas.

Retorsion: An Underrated Retaliatory Measure Against Malign Cyber Operations
Authors: Spáčil Jakub
Published: June 2024

The articles discusses the application of the concept of retorsion in relation to defensive measures against hostile cyber operations. Retorsion is a concept not regulated by international law, which gives the victim state a high degree of flexibility in its use. However, its limits are formed by the rules of international law (retorsion is an unfriendly act not prohibited by international law). The paper is divided into three main parts. The first part discusses the concept of retorsion in general terms and its relation to cyber operations, the second part defines the relationship between retorsion, countermeasures, plea of necessity and the right of self-defence, and the third part consists of in-depth analysis of states’ practice. The analysis of states’ practices includes both the actual measures that states have taken in response to cyber operations (e.g. expulsion of diplomats, economic sanctions, travel bans) and official statements on the issue that have been published, particularly in the period 2019–2022. Attention is also paid to the possibilities of using retorsion against cyber operations carried out by non-state actors.

Authors: Ablamskyi Serhii , Çakar Ena Kazić , Hloviuk Iryna
Published: June 2024

Despite that they are tacitly accepted by many as an inevitable part of armed conflict, most of the international community condemns wartime rape and aims to prevent it. Although its preventive mechanisms were already developed nationally and internationally, wartime rape was perpetrated in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1995), and is perpetrated in the war in Ukraine. This comparative study identifies patterns of wartime rapes in these two wars, as well as the analysis of the positive criminal codes of these two countries and the legal practice attendant thereto, in order to establish how they were regulated and what the criminal politics towards them is. Particularities of the experience with trialling wartime rapes in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be presented. These are presented as lessons Ukraine can benefit from, to fight against them, prevent them, and achieve justice most efficiently.
Sharing Shares with Employees: Tools and Empirical Evidence from Lithuania
Authors: Bitė Virginijus , Vasiliauskas Liutauras
Published: June 2024

This paper discloses the situation, specifics, tendencies, and limitations of employers’ adjustment to employee financial participation (sharing shares) in companies in Lithuania. Three main tools are analyzed: the issuance of employee shares (known since 1990); a share granting (effective since 2018); and employee stock options. The empirical part of the paper is based on interviews conducted in 2019 and repeated in 2022–2023 with expert lawyers from Lithuanian law firms, alongside a survey of Lithuanian companies. The following aspects were analyzed: employers’ knowledge of the possibilities of involving employees in company management (activities); instruments used by employers to implement employee financial participation; reasons that prevent successful employee involvement and barriers from the perspective of employees; tax-related issues; and measures that could facilitate greater employee involvement within the company. The research results show that there is a tendency that promotion via shares is becoming more popular and that business culture is slowly evolving. Employee stock options are the most used instrument, surpassing the use of statutory tools to grant shares to employees.
