Authors: Barros Milhomem Antoninho , De Lima Borges Diana , Medeiros Melo Leila , Libânio de Morais Neto Otaliba
Published: May 2023

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by an acid-resistant bacillus called Mycobacterium leprae and the disease is characterized by its slow multiplication, with an excessively long incubation period. The objective of the research was to evaluate the spatial distribution of leprosy cases among the municipalities of the State of Goiás in 2020. This is a descriptive study and the data collection took place from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) in November, 2021 and it considered the diagnosis´ year and the patient’s municipality of residence. The following indicators were adopted in the analysis: a) annual prevalence rate per 10,000 inhabitants; b) annual rate of new cases detection in the general population; and c) annual rate of new cases detection in individuals under 15 years of age, these last two per 100,000 inhabitants. The analysis of the spatial occurrence pattern of leprosy in Goiás State municipalities was carried out in the free software Terraview version 4.2.2. A higher prevalence of distribution of the gross rate of the disease was observed in the Central-North and Central-West macro-regions, with a concentration of cases also in the Northeast region of the State. From the 246 Goiás municipalities, 68.7% (n = 169) had cases of leprosy, 18.3% (n = 45) were in a situation of hyperendemia and 23.2% (n = 57) had a very high detection coefficient. Considering the rate of detection in those people under 15 years of age, only 11 municipalities (4.5%) were in a situation of hyperendemia and 1.2% (n = 3) had a very high detection coefficient (5.00 to 9.99/ 10.000 inhabitants). The current investigation indicates the maintenance of leprosy hyperendemic areas in the State of Goiás, when compared to previous studies. This finding highlights the importance of readjustment of leprosy management and assistance in municipalities at greater risk of leprosy hyperendemicity in order to interrupt the M. leprae transmission chain.
KEY WORDS: Leprosy; prevalence; spatial distribution; Goiás State.

Authors: Varha Lesia I. , Martyn Nataliia V.
Published: May 2023

The relevance of the chosen topic is conditioned upon a qualitatively new approach to the training of future employees of the pedagogical sphere based on the development of individual competencies, communicative and interactive in particular, in the context of the development of their communicative culture. The purpose of the article is to analyse the criterion component in the context of the development of the communicative culture of future teachers by means of interactive technologies. The goal of the study was achieved using general research methods based on criteria and component approaches. The paper defines the role of communication as one of the most important tools for the professional activity of future teachers. Notably, the development of the communicative culture of students of the pedagogical direction in a higher education institution is a complex and multidimensional process, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the interrelated components of the communicative culture of future teachers: value-oriented; emotional-personal; speech-communicative, interactive-activity. The semantic load of each individual component of the communicative culture of future teachers is justified, according to which the value-orientation component influences the choice of professional activity of the student based on established and experienced value and moral and ethical attitudes; the emotional-personal component assumes the ability to regulate one’s own emotional state in the conditions of a student-centred space; the speech-communication component is responsible for communication skills and abilities; the interactive-activity component determines the use of interactive technologies in the process of training future teachers. The practical value of scientific work lies in the application of a criterion approach in the context of studying the communicative culture of teachers, which actualises the systematic training of future teachers

The aim of the study is to determine the basic principles of developing emotional self-regulation of young people in the context of Ukrainian and foreign research in accordance with the principles of consistency and integrity. Research was made possible by the use of general research methods, in particular analysis and systematisation. In the course of the research, key scientific works in the field of psychology and psychotherapy on the topic of emotional self-regulation were analysed. The special influence of the emotional state on the personality of adolescence with its subsequent transfer to professional activity is confirmed. The concept of “regulation of emotions” is defined. The authors consider the basic principles of classification of ways of regulating emotions. It is determined that the method of self-regulation of emotions in adolescence should be considered from the standpoint of key areas of personality, including motivational-need, cognitive, emotional-characterological, regulatory-behavioural and value-emotional. A comprehensive system of influence on the establishment and further development of emotional self-regulation of a young person is suggested, consisting of six activities, namely, passing trainings, performing independent work, organising systematic meetings of curators with participants, holding educational events with specialists in certain areas, and the “peer-to-peer” format, and conducting lectures for teachers to enhance their skills in monitoring the psychological state of students. The value of scientific work lies in providing a systematic set of methodological measures for the development of emotional regulation in young people, which will contribute to practical coverage of the chosen problem

Published: May 2023

The relevance of the subject is conditioned by the changes in approaches to professional training of qualified specialists based on the establishment of a correlation between psychological readiness, professional thinking, and further activities within the chosen specialisation. The purpose of the study is to analyse the process of forming professional thinking of future border guard officers under the influence of the author’s development programme. To achieve this purpose, a number of empirical research methods were used, including surveys and questionnaires, as well as the Pearson statistical criterion. The study presents the results of an experimental review of the programme for developing professional thinking of future border guard officers. A diagnostic study of the level of completeness of cadets’ professional thinking was carried out according to certain criteria (cognitive, need-motivational, operational) and levels (high, average, low). The existence of problems in the development of professional thinking of future border guard officers is confirmed and the absence of a significant difference in the conditions of groups according to certain levels and criteria of completeness is confirmed. To confirm the validity and uniformity of the control and experimental groups, they were tested using the Pearson statistical criterion. External influence on the studied experimental groups is carried out by a complex of developed tools of the author’s programme for the development of professional thinking. Positive changes (at least 95%) in the completeness of the corresponding components of cadets’ professional thinking of all groups are experimentally substantiated. The value of the research is determined by the confirmation of the author’s methodology effectiveness for the development of professional thinking, according to which it is possible to introduce it in related specialisation of Ukrainian higher educational institutions in the future

Authors: Dobosh Olena M.
Published: May 2023

The relevance of the article is determined by updating the content of professional training of future heads of preschool educational institutions, the essence of which is not only in the development of professional knowledge, skills and abilities but also in the development of personal traits, in particular professional tolerance. The purpose of the research is to analyse tolerance as a component of the professional development of a future manager in the field of education based on its definitive meanings and development in the process of professional training. Scientific research was conducted using general research methods, such as structural analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and modelling. The article analyses the main views on the interpretation of the concepts of “tolerance”, “development of tolerance” and “professional tolerance of the head of a preschool education institution”. It is found out that tolerance is an acquired personal trait, as a result of which there is a need for its systematic development in the process of obtaining higher education by future managers. The structure of professional qualities of the manager, which includes abilities, knowledge and skills, as well as socio-psychological characteristics, is substantiated. It is determined that the qualities of a manager in the field of education have their own characteristics, in particular, the division into three key groups: qualities that reproduce the attitude of the manager to his activities; qualities that show the attitude of the manager to himself and qualities that are aimed at indicating relations with subordinates and society. It is suggested to introduce the theoretical block “development of tolerance as a professionally important quality of heads of preschool educational institutions in the process of professional training” during the training of future teachers in higher educational institutions. The value of scientific work lies in the development of a content module for the establishment of professional tolerance with its subsequent practical justification

Published: May 2023

The newest educational space is characterized by a focus on a competency-based approach to training qualified specialists, which indicates that they have mastered not only theoretical but also practical competencies in the context of interdisciplinary integration. The purpose of the study is to identify and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for the formation of socio-cultural competence of future philologists on the basis of interdisciplinary integration with the subsequent definition of a structural and functional model. In the course of the study, general scientific research methods were used, in particular, methods of analysis and synthesis to develop a theoretical framework, as well as modeling and systematization to develop a structural and functional model. The article highlights the pedagogical conditions and structural components of the structural-functional model of the formation of socio-cultural competence of future bachelors of foreign languages on the basis of interdisciplinary integration. The author's own interpretation of the concept of "pedagogical conditions" is proposed, which includes ensuring students' motivation to master the socio-cultural context of a foreign language and the culture of another people; actualization of interdisciplinary socio-cultural information in the content of professional disciplines; expanding the range of socio-cultural skills of future bachelors of foreign languages through the use of interdisciplinary communicative and cognitive cases; pedagogical support and organization of extracurricular cultural training of future bachelors of foreign languages. It has been found that the structural-functional model is characterized by integrity, openness, invariance, variability and mobility. The practical significance of the research lies in further empirical study of the functioning of the structural-functional model of formation of socio-cultural competence of future bachelors of foreign languages.

This study was conducted in Côte d’Ivoire to determine the respective prevalence of Candida species and to study their susceptibility profile to antifungal agents to identify the emergence of resistance.This retrospective study was conducted from 2017 to 2019 at the Institute Pasteur of Côte d’Ivoire on patients with fungal disease. The yeasts isolated and identified in Côte d’Ivoire were subcultured on a chromogenic medium and identified with MALDI-TOF-MS. Sensitivity tests were performed using the CLSI method and evaluated by the M27. In total, 227 Candida spp. were isolated from 1941 patients. Most of the samples were vaginal swabs (120/228). Using the conventional method, C. albicans was prevalent (52.6%). There were mixtures of 2 to 4 species in 36.8% of the samples. Thus MALDI-TOF-MS identified in 315 isolates 13 distinct species, C. tropicalis was prevalent at 35.2%, and the species in both C. albicans and C. parapsilosis complexes were differentiated. This study highlights the hurdle of correct yeast identification in developing countries. The transition from conventional to modern MALDI-TOF based identification of these life-threatening opportunistic pathogens is mandatory and should be emphasised as a public health priority.

Published: May 2023

This paper aims to analyse the crypto market in India from the viewpoint of consumers who could potentially trade in these markets and extend the extent of their behaviour to the importance of a regulatory body within the economy. The central idea of this paper is to estimate the importance of a central bank in the minds of people and how it affects their trust on a currency which is unregulated. This forms the first tier of the paper
In order to get insight into the more technical dynamics of cryptocurrencies, the paper then studies cryptocurrency from the point of view of experts who explain the different dimensions of the crypto markets. This forms the second tier of the paper.
The paper aims to analyse from the surveys conducted and the available literature, the nature of the crypto market in India with a more reporting approach than a problem-solving model.
The research is based on primary data collected by means of surveys and structured interviews. These are termed as the two tiers in the paper. Using quantitative statistical analysis to find the common trend of the sample and a descriptive approach for the analysis of the interviews, the paper examines how the two tiers behave single-handedly and their dynamic when they interact.

Pengendalian level merupakan salah satu variable yang sering dikendalikan, dalam pengaplikasiannya level air harus tetap dijaga agar tidak terjadi kekosongan ataupun melebihi kapasitas. Komponen utama yang digunakan dalam pengendalian  prototipe pengendalian dan monitoring level tangki adalah PLC Outseal sebagai controller, sensor submersible water level yang digunakan sebagai sensing element, dan servo valve sebagai final element. Haiwell cloud SCADA digunakan sebagai human machine interface (HMI) yang digunakan untuk memonitoring dan pengendalian serta pengambilan data dari proses prototipe. Pada prototipe ini menggunakan PI controller yang dicari menggunakan dua metode yaitu ziegler-nichols dan cohen-coon yang kemudian respon dari sistem akan dibandingkan guna mendapatkan respon terbaik untuk protitipe. Pada metode ZN didapatkan nilai Kp = 28.03, Ki = 0.32. dan metode CC didapatkan nilai Kp = 89.03, Ki = 1.06,  Berdasarkan hasil tuning yang telah dilakukan kedua metode sama-sama tidak memiliki error steady state. Metode CC memiliki respon yang sedikit lebih cepat dibandigkan dengan ZN, tetapi pergerakan MV pada metode CC lebih besar dibandingkan dengan ZN, oleh karena itu metode ZN dinilai lebih cocok digunakan pada prototipe. Selanjutnya dilakukan fine tuning untuk mendapatkan nilai respon yang lebih baik dari metode ZN dan didapatkan nilai Kp 58.5 dan Ki 0.01. Lalu diaplikasikan pada plant dan terbukti mendapatkan respon yang lebih baik.

Populism, Illiberalism, and Popular Sovereignty in Latin America
Authors: Carrión Julio
Published: May 2023

There is a contested relationship between populism and democracy. Defenders of populism argue that populism enhances the democratic dimension of liberal democracy (popular sovereignty), even if its liberal component (checks and balances) may suffer as a result. The present paper rejects this claim on two counts: conceptual and empirical. The paper shows that the liberal and democratic dimensions of democracy are deeply interwoven in practice. Effective checks and balances (a central component of the liberal dimension) are necessary for the full exercise of popular sovereignty (the preeminent component of the democratic dimension). This paper shows that populism in power moderates the relationship between checks and balances (measured as horizontal accountability) and popular sovereignty (measured as free and fair elections). Therefore, the paper concludes that when checks and balances are eroded by populist chief executives, so too is the exercise of popular sovereignty. Empirically and conceptually, the liberal dimension of liberal democracy cannot be diminished significantly to enhance the democratic component, as theorists of populism claim, because the weakening of the first leads to the erosion of the second. The modeling strategy is based on a fixed-effect panel design of 19 Latin American countries in the period 1979-2021.
Radicalization and the Origins of Populist Narratives about the Courts: The Argentinian Case, 2007–2015
Authors: Garcia Holgado Benjamin
Published: May 2023

In Latin America, presidents from different ideological backgrounds have systematically attacked the judiciary in order to implement their preferred public policies. In many cases, the leaders who control the executive branch have shown an early normative opposition to the power of courts to engage in the process of judicial review. For this article, I conducted a case study of Argentina from 2007 to 2015 under President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner that showed a different pattern and dynamic. After judges started to block public policies, she challenged the conception that liberal democracies require an independent judiciary with the constitutional ability to limit the scope of action of the executive and legislative branches. This view challenged the traditional liberal-democratic conception of the judiciary as a counter-majoritarian branch. The presidential party characterized judges as an aristocratic caste who ruled against the popular will in order to protect corporations’ economic interests. Consequently, the president proposed a “democratized judiciary” in which judges rule following the “people’s will,” which meant whatever the president elected by a circumstantial electoral majority decided.
The Illiberal Experience in Venezuela: The Transition from Representative Democracy to Authoritarianism
Authors: Alfaro Pareja Francisco
Published: May 2023

At the end of the 20th century, Venezuela transitioned from being a representative liberal democracy to becoming a form of electoral authoritarian state through a hybrid regime based on illiberal democracy. The crisis of the representative democracy paved the way for a coalition formed by groups close to the radical left and the military establishment headed by Hugo Chávez Frías, who took the electoral route, after having first tried and failed to lead a coup, to reach the presidency with popular support due to widespread social unrest, to take power in 1999. This transition was carried out, at the local level, progressively by the actions of an illiberal and revolutionary regime, as a deliberate reaction against representative liberal democracy. The paper examines the illiberal experience in Venezuela between 1999 and 2007 and its background. While it is true that illiberalism does not always create the conditions that lead to the inevitable transition to an authoritarian regime, the Venezuelan case is an example of its use in the continual dismantling of the rule of law, an increasingly common phenomenon in various countries with a democratic tradition.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Identifying an accurate, user friendly alternative to skinfold calipers may allow for accurate assessment of body composition in more applied settings, such as various training and competition venues.  The purpose of our study was to determine the validity of B-mode ultrasound (BMUS) for body composition assessment by comparing this method to values obtained using air displacement plethysmography (ADP).
Methods: Twenty-four active runners underwent two forms of body composition assessment during a single lab visit; ADP and BMUS. ADP body density was estimated using an air displacement chamber in combination with measured lung volume. BMUS body density was estimated from measuring the Jackson-Pollock 7 site skinfolds with a portable, app-based ultrasound device to determine subcutaneous fat thickness. Images were analyzed using proprietary software. Body density values for both methods were converted to body fat percentage using the Siri equation. A paired samples t-test was used to compare values obtained from ADP and BMUS.
Results: There was no difference between ADP (18.3 ± 7.3%) and BMUS (17.2 ± 7.6%; p = 0.1) for percent body fat.
Conclusions: BMUS provides a valid method for assessing body composition when compared to ADP, thus providing a portable, accurate method for assessing body composition in applied settings.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Assessment of diastolic heart function can be challenging due to various factors. Doppler echocardiography is useful but has limitations, pointing to the need for more accurate tests. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a promising ultrasound technique for diastolic prediction. The E/E' ratio is commonly used to determine LV filling pressures. B-natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels may also indicate diastolic dysfunction. Aims: To compare the BNP levels with E/E' ratios in this investigation to evaluate their effectiveness in predicting LV pressures. Methodology: This study compared BNP levels with E/E' in patients with diastolic dysfunction. Patients with reduced LV function were excluded, and all participants gave informed consent. The study found that BNP levels were a useful diagnostic tool and could be compared with E/E' using ROC curves. Results: The study included 100 patients with diastolic dysfunction and excluded those with reduced LV function. The patients had a mean age of 60.51, with 60% males and 40% females. The majority of patients were in NYHA class II (56%), followed by NYHA class III (28%) and NYHA class IV (16%). The study also provided mean BNP levels for patients with different E/E' ratios.

MERHAMET, ACI VE KURTULUŞ: YAŞAMIN ANLAMSIZLIĞI KARŞISINDA SCHOPENHAUER VE NIETZSCHE
Authors: ESENYEL Adnan
Published: May 2023

İnsanın temel duygu durumlarından birisi olan merhamet Schopenhauer ve Nietzsche’nin düşünce dünyasında birbirine tümüyle zıt olan iki konum işgal etmektedir. Merhamet Schopenhauer için temel etik değer olarak insanın bu kötücül dünyadan kurtuluşunun anahtarlarından birisini temsil ederken Nietzsche için merhamet, sürü içgüdüsüne sahip insanın kendi zayıflığını örtbas etmek ve bu zayıflığı bizzat yaşamın kendisine aktararak onu değerden düşürmek için kullandığı bir araca dönüşür. Schopenhauer doğrudan dünyanın bir yorumundan hareketle onun ıstırabını ve sefaletini bir veri kabul ederek böylesi bir gerçekliği yaşayan her canlıya ancak merhametle yaklaşılması gerektiğini ileri sürer. Oysa Nietzsche bizzat insanın dünyayı yorumlama eylemini analiz ederek, merhametin bir dünya yorumu olarak çok derinlerde bir takım yaşam karşıtı yozlaşmış güdüleri sakladığını ifşa eder. Makalenin amacı söz konusu iki farklı başlangıç noktasını temele alarak merhamet eyleminin bu iki filozofun düşüncesinde sahip olduğu anlam katmanlarını aydınlatmaktır.
