Del análisis de las políticas públicas al de herramientas de gestión territorial: estudio de la etapa de formulación de los objetivos del proyecto para el “Fortalecimiento del Ejercicio Veedor” de Yumbo, Colombia
Authors: Machado Santacruz Piedad Fernanda , Cocuy Espinosa Julián
Published: January 2023

En el ejercicio de la gestión pública, se evidencian limitaciones para la efectiva implementación de las políticas públicas. Una de estas limitaciones es la falta de marcos de análisis para el fortalecimiento de las herramientas de gestión como planes, programas y proyectos, que en la práctica son instrumentos de operacionalización de las políticas públicas. En este sentido, el presente artículo de reflexión busca proponer una discusión frente al uso de la disciplina del análisis de las políticas públicas, en el análisis de otros instrumentos de gestión. El artículo de reflexión es una investigación documental con inferencias analíticas producto de la triangulación de teoría. Con esta reflexión se busca promover el desarrollo de investigaciones aplicadas para el fortalecimiento de la administración y la gestión pública colombiana.
El agua potable en la agenda pública de las instancias metropolitanas en Guadalajara
Authors: Cárdenas Gómez Erika Patricia
Published: January 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es identificar por qué las instancias metropolitanas no estuvieron preparadas para atender la escasez de agua de llave que vivió la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG) en los primeros siete meses del 2021. Para esto, se analizó la creación del Sistema Intermunicipal de los Servicios de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado (SIAPA), así como las instancias que se crearon en el 2011, específicamente, el Consejo Ciudadano Metropolitano (CCM). Para el desarrollo de esta investigación fue necesario hacer una revisión bibliográfica, documental y hemerográfica. Se solicitó información al Instituto Nacional de Transparencia, Acceso a la Información y Protección de Datos Personales (INAI) y se realizaron 15 entrevistas semiestructuradas a miembros del CCM de la tercera generación, a regidores, a integrantes del Instituto Metropolitano de Planeación (IMEPLAN) y a varios habitantes de la urbe. Asimismo, en mayo del 2021, se hizo trabajo de campo en algunas colonias de la ZMG. Se aplicó una encuesta virtual a 382 moradores del conglomerado urbano. Los resultados muestran que, por cuestiones políticas, económicas y organizativas, las instancias estudiadas no han logrado proporcionar la cobertura y la calidad del agua potable que la ciudadanía requiere, situación que se ha agravado en tiempos de pandemia y de crisis hídrica.
L’usage de la Shoah dans la mémoire des crimes du XXe siècle en Europe de l’est
Authors: Radonić Ljiljana
Published: January 2023

Beaucoup a été écrit sur les musées et les mémoriaux de la Shoah. Ljiljana Radonić s’intéresse dans ce texte[1] à la manière dont la Shoah est exposée dans les musées nationaux (en particulier en Europe centrale et orientale) pourtant consacrés à d’autres événements tragiques. Mais pourquoi ? Il ne s’agit pas tant de réparer une omission que d’évoquer la souffrance juive comme un modèle. Dans bien des cas, le message à comprendre : « Nos » victimes ont souffert « comme les Juifs ».
Genocide Remembrance Cultures in a European Comparison
Authors: Radonić Ljiljana
Published: January 2023

Much has been written about Holocaust museums and memorials. Ljiljana Radonić focuses in this text[1] to the way the Shoah is exhibited in national museums (especially in Central and Eastern Europe) yet devoted to other tragic events. But why? It is not so much a matter of repairing an omission as of evoking Jewish suffering as a model. In many cases, the message to be understood: “Our” victims suffered “like the Jews”.
A Theoretical Model for Engaging Parents in the Educational Process
Authors: Daneva Marlena
Published: January 2023

Parental involvement in their children's learning process is a major source of support for
improving the quality of learning and student achievement. Whether there are children from vulnerable groups or not, the involvement of parents in direct practical activities related to the lesson content, to school events and projects increases teachers’ confidence in parents and vice versa. A trusting parentteacher relationship is developed., Indicators such as academic performance, motivation to learn, etc.
are increased by the impact of such relationship in the educational process at school. This paper proposes a theoretical model for building such a practical relationship with parents. Theoretical review and analysis are presented, an exemplary model is described, conclusions and implications are drawn.
The Assistant Еducator – a Valuable Resource in the Care, Education and Socialization of Kindergarten Children
Authors: Tileva Aksenia
Published: January 2023

Kindergarten, as an educational institution in which the training, upbringing and socialization of children takes place, is nowadays burdened with high public expectations. The connection between good educational results and children's participation in organized pre-school education is being discussed more and more often. Bulgaria has a pre-school infrastructure that provides a suitable educational environment. Participants in the educational process are children, teachers and parents, but an undervalued resource is the assistant educator. Through their professional duties and their presence in the child's life in the kindergarten, they are not only responsible for maintaining hygiene, but also assist teachers in organizing games, training, meals, walks with the children. Teamwork between teacher and an assistant educator creates a feeling of coziness and tranquility in children, so that each of them can feel included, protected, loved and encouraged in their development. This article presents some opportunities for optimizing the functional duties of assistant educators, as well as for the development of their professional competences. Effective use of such resource would help to increase the quality of the educational process.
Inkwell and Dates: Labor in Exhibitions “Objects of Pride and Shame” and “Gastev. How to Work”
Authors: Dmitry Soloviev
Published: January 2023

This article investigates labor through the interpretation of modern artistic practices. Two exhibitions have been chosen as examples. The first one is the exhibition of Vladimir Arkhipov's collection of folk things; the second one is “Gastev. How to Work'' dedicated to Alexey Gastev. The exhibitions were held at the PERMM Museum of Contemporary Art in 2021. The author conducts a comparative cross-temporal study of the results of labor and the labor process focusing on the phenomenon of a folk thing investigated by artist Vladimir Arkhipov for more than two decades and idealistic reference ideas of scientifically regulated labor norms and standards developed by Alexei Gastev and the Central Institute of Labor in the 1920s. The comparative study will rely on the paradigms of re-thinking the labor in the mid-20th and early 21st centuries by scientists such as A. Honneth, Z. Bauman, M. Heidegger, G. Standing, and H. Arendt and the contemporary philosophical research on the issue of ontologies, namely the flat ones, undertaken by B. Latour and T. Morton. The methods designed during the evolution of the theoretical representation and understanding of labor in the second half of the 19th century and at the end of the 20th century allow for tracing and exploring the path from the forced labor to the free one focusing on artistic practices. This comparison will refer to the analysis of labor as a process. Contemporary approaches in the field of ontology, namely the flat ontology, have been used as a methodology for analyzing the transformation of perceiving the labor outcomes. Both the labor process and its results have been analyzed along the trajectory of the subject-object relations. The paper proposes a definition of the perception and product of labor under the modern socio-economic and sociopolitical conditions through the prism of artistic ideas.
Labor, Alienation, Sincerity: Aki Kaurismäki’s Response to Post-Cinematic Screen
Authors: Natalia Vereshchagina
Published: January 2023

The anthology “To Each His Own Cinema” was created for the 60th Cannes Film Festival Anniversary. It included episodes by contemporary directors dedicated to the present and future of the cinema in the context of digital technologies and post-continuity. Aki Kaurismäki presented the three-minute episode “The Foundry”, which demonstrates the visual, auditory and narrative features of the author's film style in a concentrated manner and also relays Kaurismäki's response to the changes that are taking place in the cinema of the “digital age”. In the episode and in Kaurismäki's works in general, he refers to stories, images (labor, working class, factories, mines, marginalized elements, etc.) and old-style film and shooting techniques which are not that popular. But this is the most interesting thing because it shows Kaurismäki's point of view on the nature of cinema as an activity. In the article, the author shows the analysis of the figures of workers and the images of their actions (images of labor) in connection with Kaurismäki's film style and in the context of the “death of cinema” discourse in the digital age. Reflections are based on the analysis results of two trilogies: Proletarian trilogy – Shadows in Paradise (1986), Ariel (1988), The Match Factory Girl (1990), and Finnish trilogy – Drifting Clouds (1996), The Man Without a Past (2002), Lights in the Dusk (2006).
The Chemical Biology of NO that Regulates Oncogenic Signaling and Metabolism: NOS2 and Its Role in Inflammatory Disease
Authors: Miranda Katrina M. , Ridnour Lisa A. , Cheng Robert Y. S. , Wink David A. , Thomas Douglas D.
Published: January 2023

Nitric oxide (NO) and the enzyme that synthesizes it, nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), have emerged as key players in inflammation and cancer. Expression of NOS2 in tumors has been correlated both with positive outcomes and with poor prognoses. The chemistry of NO is the major determinate to the biological outcome and the concentration of NO, which can range over five orders of magnitude, is critical in determining which pathways are activated. It is the activation of specific oncogenic and immunological mechanisms that shape the outcome. The kinetics of specific reactions determine the mechanisms of action. In this review, the relevant reactions of NO and related species are discussed with respect to these oncogenic and immunological signals.
Influence of pile end soil on torsional vibration of pile considering the stress diffusion
Authors: Feng Tugen , Li Zhenya , Zhang Jian
Published: January 2023

This study focuses on the influence of the pile end soil on the torsional vibration of a pile based on a fictitious soil pile model considering stress diffusion. The pile end soil is simulated as a cone-shaped fictitious soil pile whose parameters remain the same as the soil. The dynamic equilibrium equations for the pile–soil system subjected to torsional dynamic loadings are developed and solved to obtain the corresponding analytical solution. Then, comparisons with other solutions are conducted to verify the reliability of the proposed solution. Finally, parametric analysis results are presented based on the proposed solution to portray the influence of the stress diffusion angle, thickness and shear wave velocity of the pile end soil.
A proposed training-within-industry-informed human failure reduction framework for South African construction
Authors: Mollo Lesiba George , Emuze Fidelis , Smallwood John
Published: January 2023

Errors, violations and system failure in the form of human failure contribute to most of the accidents experienced in the construction industry. This study thus aims to develop a framework using factors of a training-within-industry (TWI) job programme to reduce human failure by improving the safety-management system (SMS) in construction sites. A mixed-methods research design was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data was analysed using thematic analysis, whereas the quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The study findings revealed that the human failure reduction framework includes an implementation guideline with four steps: (a) identify the causes of the problem, (b) provide insight into how the factors of the TWI job programme will be integrated with the elements of the SMS, (c) provide insight into how the elements of the SMS will be integrated with the factors of the TWI job programme and (d) provide guidelines for safety-management teams on how the TWI job programme integrated with the elements of the SMS will help solve human failure in the industry. The human failure reduction framework could mitigate accidents and help safety-management teams maintain safe and healthy work environments in the construction industry.
Optical properties of 2D pristine and doped Janus WSSe using first-principles study
Authors: Srivastava Mayank , Pandey Bramha P , Mishra Neha , Kumar Dharmendra , Tomar Vinay K , Kumar Santosh
Published: January 2023

This paper explores the electronic (optical) properties of pristine and p-type doped (boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga)) tungsten (W), sulfur (S) and selenium (Se) (WSSe) monolayers (MLs) through first-principles calculation. The electronic properties total density of states and band gap are investigated; the results confirm that magnetic attributes are induced after doping of p-type (boron, aluminum, gallium) materials in the system. Further, the optical properties of the studied system – namely, the dielectric function (real (ε 1) and imaginary (ε 2)), absorption index (α) and refractive index (η) – are extracted systematically. The real part ε 1 has negative values, which indicates that the material is opaque to light through that region. The imaginary part ε 2 shows that the boron-doped WSSe ML has the highest light-absorbing capacity. Moreover, the absorption index shows that the peaks align in the ultraviolet (UV) range for both pristine and p-type doped systems. The refractive index (η) is investigated, and the peaks are located in the UV region. Again, the boron-doped system has the maximum value, which agrees with the reported results. Thus, it is concluded from the study of the optical properties of p-type doped systems that the boron-doped system is more suitable for designing optoelectronic devices.

Published: January 2023

In this paper, stochastic parameters are introduced into the network games model with production and knowledge's externalities. This model was formulated by V. Matveenko and A. Korolev and generalized two-period Romer model. Agents' productivities have deterministic and Wiener components. We consider the dynamics that occur when two complete networks are combined. Explicit expressions in the form of Brownian random processes are obtained. A qualitative analysis of the solution of a system of stochastic equations is carried out.
Bounded Rationality and Control
Authors: Новиков Дмитрий Александрович , Novikov Dmitriy
Published: January 2023

The rationality constraint condition is formulated, which states that when solving control, computing and communication problems ($C^3$) together, real-time requirements may not make it possible to find the optimal solution (control action), forcing the use of almost optimal solutions (the best found with the existing restrictions on the search procedure). This condition connects and demonstrates the unity and deep interconnection of such concepts common in management and optimization as: necessary diversity, limited rationality, analytical complexity, heuristics, records in real-time optimization. In relation to the problem of institutional management of organizational and technical systems, a number of examples of solving problems of minimizing error or complexity, as well as searching for: critical bandwidth of the communication channel, critical computing rate and the maximum number of controlled subsystems are given.
Game-theoretic approach in law
Authors: Мартьянова Елизавета Юрьевна , Martyanova Elizaveta
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the possible application of game theory for the purposes of lawmaking and law enforcement. The purpose of the study is to identify the conditions and limits of the application of the game theory to situations with legal content. It is proved that the legal behavior of the subject can be evaluated through the prism of the axiom of completeness, transitivity, continuity, substitution and independence, and the result can be used in determining the criterion of ''rationality of behavior'', when fixing the presence or absence of signs of unfair behavior, abuse of law. The author comes to the conclusion that the incompleteness of the legal theory of games, which is expressed in the limited situations to which it can be applied, does not detract from its significance as an analytical tool, the results of which should be interpreted taking into account other methods of analyzing legal matter and situations of legal content.

Published: January 2023

The article solves the problem of choosing an optimal, by the Hurwitz criterion, mixed strategy for arbitrary matrix game against nature. We reduce the problem to solving $n$ linear programming problems (where $n$ is the number of scenarios). As far as we know, this is a new result. It can be used to make decisions in uncertain environments, if the game situation is repeated many times, or physical mixture of pure strategies is realizable.
Design of the feasible region for demand values in a congested urban road network
Authors: Крылатов Александр Юрьевич , Krylatov Alexandr , Раевская Анастасия Павловна , Raevskaya Anastasia
Published: January 2023

The present paper is devoted to the study of the feasible region for demand values in a congested urban road network. Travel demand estimation is considered to be the inverse of the traffic assignment problem, formulated as a congestion game. We show that the corresponding estimation problem has the form of a bilevel optimization program with a weak-defined feasible set of upper-level solution variables (even a trivial solution leads to the global optimum). However, we are lucky to prove that for any congested urban road network there is a polygon in the space of demand values, which significantly narrows the area of optimal solution search for the considering bilevel problem. Moreover, such a polygon appears to be easily designed for an arbitrary road network, using solely observed congestion as input data. Thus, the findings obtained in the paper contribute to the development of tools for travel demand estimation in a congested urban road network.
Nontransitive dice with equal means and variances
Authors: Якушева Александра Николаевна , Yakusheva Alexandra
Published: January 2023

This study aims to investigate the nontransitivity of the stochastic precedence relation. The dice were taken as an example of discrete random variables with a finite set of values. The means and variances of the dice were assumed those of the classical dice. The whole variety of nontransitive sets containing three or four dice were found in case of one or two tosses and various ways to determine the advantage. The sets that reveal the strongest property of nontransitivity were obtained according to the specific function. The hypothesis has been tested about the emergence of non-transitivity after two tosses of dice in originally transitive sets.

Authors: Петров Николай Никандрович , Petrov Nikolai , Можегова Елена Сергеевна , Mozhegova Elena
Published: January 2023

In a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, the problem of a simple pursuit by a group of pursuers of two evaders is considered on a given time scale. It is assumed that all evaders use the same control and do not leave the convex polyhedral set. The pursuers use counter-strategies based on information about the initial positions and control history of the evaders. The set of admissible controls for each of the participants is a unit ball centered at zero, the target sets are the origin. The goal of the pursuers' group is the capture by two pursuers of at least one evader or the capture of two evaders. In terms of the initial positions and game parameters a sufficient capture condition has been obtained. The study uses the method of resolving functions as a basic one, which allows to obtain sufficient conditions for the solvability of the approach problem in some guaranteed time.

Authors: Усова Анастасия Александровна , Usova Anastasiia , Тарасьев Александр Михайлович , Tarasyev Alexander
Published: January 2023

The paper investigates a growth model with a production function of constant elasticity of substitution, which generalizes such functions as Cobb-Douglas or Leontief, when one of its parameter tends to zero or infinity respectively. The investment indicators of the model are considered as control parameters that are chosen in order to maximize the utility functional. An optimal control problem with an infinite planning horizon is formulated. Using the Pontryagin maximum principle, the paper studies a Hamiltonian function and a Hamiltonian system and provides its qualitative analysis. Next, the existence and uniqueness of a steady state are proven, and an algorithm for its search is given by solving a nonlinear equation of one special variable. The following section performs the stabilization of the Hamiltonian system in the vicinity of the steady state using a controller that can be constructed due to saddle character of the steady state. Finally, a numerical example is given that illustrates obtained analytical results.

Authors: Khalaf N , Abdel-Latif E , Ismail M , Metwally H
Published: January 2023

4-Aminobenzohydrazide (1) undergoes chloroacetylation twice, at the primary amine and hydrazide-NH2 functional groups. The conforming bis-chloroacetamide derivative 3 was reacted with different sulfur reagents (namely, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 6-amino-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-ol, and 2-mercapto-4,6-dimethyl-nicotinonitrile) to give new bis-sulfide compounds 5, 7 and 9, respectively. The newly synthesised bis-chloroacetamide and corresponding sulfides were screened for anti-microbial and antioxidant potential. The sulfide derivative 7 exhibited the most potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It shows inhibition activities of 83.4% and 78.8%, respectively. Moreover, the sulfide derivative 7 showed the highest antioxidant activity with an inhibition ratio of 85.9%, which is close to L-ascorbic acid.
Fines generation from South African manganese ores during preheating in a rotary kiln
Authors: Moholwa M.S. , Steenkamp J.D. , Rutto H.L.
Published: January 2023

Manganese ores are the major source of manganese for the production of manganese ferroalloys. There is a gap in the knowledge of the decrepitation behaviour of manganese ores, which presents a problem in the operation of smelters. Decrepitation, which is the breakage of the ore particles upon heating, is an important quality parameter for these ores. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which South African manganese ores decrepitate during preheating in a rotary kiln. The effects of temperature, rotational speed, and particle size decrepitation were investigated. Manganese ores were heated in a laboratory-scale rotary kiln at temperatures of 600, 800, and 1000°C, and rotational speeds of 3, 6, and 12 r/min. The size ranges were +6-20, +20-40, and +40-75 mm and the residence time was constant at 30 minutes. The decrepitation index (DI) is quantified as the ratio of the mass of <6 mm particles after pre-heating to the total mass of the sample. It was found that the DIs for all ores used were proportional to the temperature and the rotational speed and inversely proportional to the particle size range with temperature being the most important parameter. Ore A was the most susceptible to decrepitation followed by ore C and ore B; this was mainly to the decomposition of kutnohorite, the content of which was the highest in ore A and the lowest in ore B.
Sharia Reforms, Hisbah, and the Economy of Moral Policing in Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim Musa
Published: January 2023

This article examines the ambiguous values that guide and sustain livelihood practices and everyday struggles of different classes of people in the context of contemporary Sharia reforms, introduced in Nigeria at the turn of the 21st century. It specifically analyzes the economic impact of the Yan Hisbah (moral police) in Kano in Nigeria, who enforce Islamic moral values in the economy. While the Sharia reformers promise economic prosperity in the face of allegedly failed secular government and economic systems, their interventions come under sustained criticism. Muslim subjects argue that the activities of the Yan Hisbah are limiting economic opportunities and development. They also criticize the Yan Hisba Sharia moral project as an economy thriving in an 'immoral' economy that it seeks to correct. The essay shows that moral economies in the context of state, religious reform, and capitalism are not easy to implement.
In search of a TOST': The rise of Cosmism in contemporary Russian culture
Authors: Wintner Julia Tikhonova
Published: January 2023

The landscape of contemporary Russian culture is ground zero for the recent revival of Cosmism, the late nineteenth century utopian quest for immortality and space colonisation. Overwhelmed, as we are in the west, with accounts of geo-political conflicts with Russia, it is especially timely to interrogate the underlying social narratives that are inseparable from these conflicts. To do so, we must simultaneously juggle the discourse of post-colonial studies, a close look at the circulation of nationalism, the nostalgia for Soviet times, an explosion of religiosity, and the ideological and cultural work being done by the prominent cosmist devotees, Anton Vidokle and Arseny Zhilyaev. 'In search of a "POST": The rise of Cosmism in contemporary Russian culture' navigates through the specter of contemporary neo-liberal Russian culture on its way to Cosmism's other-worldly narrative of a cult of the ancestors and the immortality for all. Since the 2000s Cosmism has entered intellectual vogue. Touted as a harbinger of post-humanist ideas,1 it offered a vastly different view of the future, one that blurred the borders between the scientific, the religious and the fantastical (Smith 2016:4). Cosmism thus appears to function as a temporary refuge from the human denigration subsequent to the Fall of the Soviet Union and, more recently, the death caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Cosmism's focus on theorising is at the expense of formal explorations and new visual languages. They are not challenging the status quo but perpetuating centuries' old Russian traditions of millenarism2 and mystical fabulism and thereby not promoting any real advancement in constructing a new identity for a post-Soviet society.
Queering the soil: Reimagining landscape and identity in queer artistic practices in Cyprus
Authors: Parpa Elena
Published: January 2023

This article concentrates on the work of artists who identify as queer in Cyprus, a place marked by colonialism, rival nationalisms and ethno-political division. More specifically, it examines the ways their work disrupts confining perceptions of nationhood, gender and sexuality that suppress difference and delimit identity in a conflict-ridden, ethnically divided society. These ideas are discussed in relation to the examples of Krista Papista, a Greek Cypriot visual artist, musician and performer, and Hasan Aksaygin, a Turkish Cypriot artist, whose work encompasses elements of painting, performance and installation. As I argue in this article, by calling forth interpretations of "queer" that go beyond the term's common application as an adjective or a noun, these artists employ tactics of queer use. In so doing, they inscribe queer life and experiences into landscapes, traditions and symbols, as in "over" the soil, used here as a metaphor to point to those elements that are commonly invoked in delineating the physical and imaginary topos of the nation from which people identifying as queer are often excluded as non-conforming others. As such, they make space for an alternative topos to emerge, where expanded notions of gender, identity and belonging are cultivated away from established stereotypes and divisive, nationalist narratives.
Light on loss in new works by Paul Emmanuel
Authors: Bronner Irene
Published: January 2023

Veil 1954 and Carbon Dad 2017, two new works from South African artist Paul Emmanuel's most recent exhibition Substance of Shadows (2021), are examined as depicting rites of passage of memory and mourning, following the recent loss of both Emmanuel's parents. They are discussed in dialogue with the five untitled incised drawings from Emmanuel's 2008 Transitions exhibition, which addressed significant male rites of passage that were also liminal moments in male lives. In rites of passage, the citations, quotations and traces that form a subject's socially constituted body are undone and rearranged. Transitions (5), however, represents the quotidian liminality of commuting and while it is fruitfully interpreted as a metaphor for death, a deeper exploration of this particular rite of passage is held over, this article argues, until Veil 1954 and Carbon Dad 2017. These two works are therefore examined as a continuation of the works of Transitions. Crucially, however, it is proposed that Emmanuel's principal memory engagement in these two works is enacted materially, through his medium of obsolete carbon paper, rather than the exposed photographic paper of Transitions. The ways in which Emmanuel works with carbon paper allows a sensitive embodied exploration of aging and frailty to emerge.

Authors: MacKenzie Gwinner  , Arika Marchetti  , Lynn Chollet-Hinton  , Lynn Fisher
Published: January 2023

Introduction. Children in rural areas face increased rates of obesity compared to their urban counterparts, and diet in early childhood may influence the development of diseases related to food intake. This study sought to determine current diet of children 0-23 months of age in rural Kansas.
Methods. Medical students participating in summer rural clinical experiences offered the survey to caregivers of children 0-23 months, born at term as singletons without a specialized diet. Recruitment occurred at appointments over 6 weeks in primary care offices. The survey was in the style of a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire for infants with an image for estimating portion sizes. Diets were compared to guidelines set by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025.
Results. Of 44 participants in the study, there were 21 children aged 0-5 months, 7 aged 6-11 months, and 16 aged 12-23 months. Breastfeeding rates were nearly double reported national averages. All children in the 0 to 5 month age group met guidelines. None of the children 6 to 11 months or 12 to 23 months met guidelines. In the 6 to 11 month group, 4 consumed food in addition to breastmilk or formula (complementary foods). In the 12-23 month group, protein and dairy foods were lower than, and whole grains and vegetables were higher than, reported national averages respectively.
Conclusions. Children may fall short of dietary recommendations due to the amounts and types of food complementary to breast milk received in the diet.

Published: January 2023

Product innovation in food is one aspect of improving an existing food product, especially the health benefits in it so that it can be consumed by anyone without worrying about side effects due to unhealthy food. Croquettes are a potato-based snack filled with various kinds of meat, so croquettes cannot be enjoyed by vegetarians. Therefore, an innovative product of taro croquettes was made with the stuffing of moringa leaves and oyster mushrooms. Croquettes made from taro which is one of the local foods whose products must be reproduced and developed, then using the stuffing of oyster mushrooms and moringa leaves which is one of the superfoods that has very good nutritional value so that it can increase the value of the croquettes,. Therefore, many people can try taro croquettes with moringa leaves and oyster mushrooms as a healthier option. This research employs a quantitative research method through an experimental approach. In the taro croquette product innovation experiment, there were three recipe formulations that were tested by expert panelists and general panelists so that the test results could produce the best recipe formulation among the three formulations that had been made.

Published: January 2023

A muffin is a sweet cake that is typically served in a cup-shaped dish. Wheat flour is typically used as the primary component in muffins and the majority of market-sold cakes. In this research, the authors will make muffins entirely without using wheat flour but breadfruit and mocaf flour, topping them with cassava tape. It aims to increase the use of regional culinary products, such as the Purwakarta Regency's famous cassava tape, decrease the usage of imported wheat flour, and serve as a source of non-gluten for consumers who must limit or even prevent consuming gluten. This study's methodology uses a descriptive quantitative technique with an experimental approach. Experimental research conducted is a kitchen project to find the effect on certain treatments. Three recipe formulations for the non-gluten sample muffin tape will be tested for organoleptic quality using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and descriptive analysis. The MTNG2 sample was the best sample with the highest level of preference, according to the organoleptic test results. Next, 100 consumers from the MTNG2 sample participated in a consumer acceptance test. The consumer acceptability test results receive a score of 4.695, ranking them in the very acceptable category.

Gastronomic tourism is one of the strategies in developing sustainable tourism in Kotagede, Yogyakarta. Yangko, a snack that has a unique name, is a traditional food originating from Kota Gede Yogyakarta which is currently very rare to find, even many local people do not know about the snack. This study aims to determine the concept of yangko gastronomy which includes history, philosophy, tradition, social, and to analyze how to cook traditional snacks from Kotagede, the equipment used and manufacturing standards, as well as efforts to preserve yangko. The research method used is a qualitative method, while the data collection techniques are carried out by interviews, observations, literature studies and documentation studies. The result of this research is that no one knows for sure the history of yangko in terms of name, a snack that resembles mochi cakes. Yangko is made of glutinous rice flour, tapioca, sugar, salt, water, food coloring and vanilla. Support from various parties is needed in developing yangko's business so that it can attract tourists to make yangko a gastronomic tourism destination in Kotagede Yogyakarta. The researchers describe the patterns and packages of superior gastronomic tours. Based on the study results, it was obtained that the origin name of the Yogyakarta specialty can be developed as a gastronomic tourist attraction, because it can make additional knowledge for consumers or tourists who are eating the dishes they eat. In addition, the origin name of the food can be used as a storytelling in selling Yogyakarta specialties to be used as a gastronomic tourist attraction

The problem of preserving the architectural heritage as one of the most important priority tasks of our time is considered. Separate illustrations of the historical buildings of Krasnodar with the protected status of cultural heritage are presented. The need to take urgent measures for the rational use and exhibition of architectural heritage from an environmental point of view was noted. On the basis of the analysis carried out, the concept of "greening of monuments" is disclosed, which includes both the simultaneous preservation of architectural and urban planning monuments, and the natural environment. Much attention is paid to the choice of materials, replacing them with new ones without reducing their historical and artistic and aesthetic value for the restoration, repair and restoration of individual parts of architectural heritage objects. Special attention is paid to the strategy for preserving this heritage, identifying the main issues in the context of creating a comfortable living environment.

The article is devoted to the synthesis of methodological experience in the design of new settlements and cities in the twentieth century. On the example of the texts of recommendations and guidelines the process of deployment of algorithms for solving planning problems is investigated. The vector of development of professional thought, set by the scientific community in the period of the active urban development on the basis of a retrospective understanding of the practical material, has undergone changes. In the process of transformation of the institution of urban planning the links between scientific and practical echelons of urban planning community weaken, implementation of scientific thought results into the practice of design and understanding between the generations of urban planners becomes more complicated. The paper suggests the trend of growing gap between theoretical concepts and practice of urban planning that has been evolving since 1980-1990s up to the present time. It is argued that without a systematic reflection that takes into account the generalized academic experience and the practice of solving current problems, the qualitative implementation of modern urban planning solutions seems unattainable.
Historical environment as a prototype of a new urban typology
Authors: Malakhov Sergey A. , Busel Yulia K.
Published: January 2023

The prerequisites of transition from the typology of high-rise residential development of dormitory districts, remote from the epicenter of urban activity, to the typology of mixed functionality, interpreting the morphological and symbolic codes of the metropolis historical heritage are considered. The criticism of modernist strategy is based on the understanding of functional zoning as an excessively rigid model of the city. The historic environment with its hierarchical structure of space and parcellation into yards and blocks provides an opportunity for fractal organization of neighborhoods and self-government. The article hypothesizes possible translation of the codes of historic environment into the basis of modern typology of compact buildings, preserving human scale of environment and effective size of neighborhoods.

Porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds prepared by three-dimensional (3D) printing have wide application prospects owing to personalized structural design and excellent biocompatibility. However, the lack of antimicrobial properties limits its widespread use. In this study, a porous ceramic scaffold was fabricated by digital light processing (DLP) method. The multilayer chitosan/alginate composite coatings prepared by layer-by-layer method were applied to scaffolds and Zn2+ was doped into coatings in the form of ion crosslinking. The chemical composition and morphology of coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis demonstrated that Zn2+ was uniformly distributed in the coating. Besides, the compressive strength of coated scaffolds (11.52 ± 0.3 MPa) was slightly improved compared with that of bare scaffolds (10.42 ± 0.56 MPa). The result of soaking experiment indicated that coated scaffolds exhibited delayed degradation. In vitro experiments demonstrated that within the limits of concentration, a higher Zn content in the coating has a stronger capacity to promote cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Although excessive release of Zn2+ led to cytotoxicity, it presented a stronger antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli (99.4%) and Staphylococcus aureus (93%).

ICVT, infrequent and serious, has a varied aetiology and clinical presentation. Focal syndrome with seizures is common. CT showing cord sign is early and accurate. Rapid management promises good prognosis, evading criticality. Although prothrombotic states pose great risk, inflammatory diseases, rarely SSc, are equally important. They must be evaluated.

Narcolepsy is a rare disorder of sleep wake cycle which can result in persistent excessive day time sleepiness. It is due to the deficiency of the Orexin/Hypocretin in the body. Most of these cases are reported in young adults and are difficult to diagnose early. This can lead to serious impairments in social and occupational settings if not promptly treated. Thus we are reporting an interesting case of a teenager who presented with falls. He was diagnosed with nocturnal Polysomnography followed by Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), and he significantly benefitted from treatment with Modafinil.
Valproate enduced encephalopathy in a psychiatric patient with normal liver function tests
Authors: Khichar Shubhakaran
Published: January 2023

Sodium valproate is a broad spectrum antiepileptic drug (AED) and is being widely used in various neuro-psychiatric conditions. It can cause hyper-ammonemic encephalopathy (HE) especially when used with other anti-epileptics like topiramate, phenobarbitone, phenytoin etc. Here we describe such a patient who was taking valproate for bipolar disorder with no other AEDs and earlier misdiagnosed as viral encephalitis, which on further evaluation was found to be suffering from HE. The patient was managed accordingly and recovered completely.
Public Debt Sustainability and Fiscal Reaction Functions in Latin America and the Caribbean
Authors: González Jaramillo María José , Hernández Juan
Published: January 2023

The governments response to the COVID-19 pandemic left Latin America and the Caribbean economies with increased levels of sovereign debt as a percentage of output, bringing up the question of debt sustainability in the region. The literature has identified two testable conditions on the fiscal reaction function for debt sustainability: i) a positive response of primary balances to debt (Bohn, 1995) and ii) the response of primary balances to debt should be higher than the growth adjusted interest rate (Ghosh et al., 2013). This paper revisits these conditions, both from the theoretical and empirical perspective. It introduces a new “implicit growth” measure which is the relevant one for the debt-to-GDP ratio dynamics. It also tests empirically both conditions for economies in the region. The results suggest that debt is likely sustainable in the region, although it cannot be assured at a 95 percent confidence level. A deep look at the causes of this results pointed towards fiscal fatigue, the fact that primary balances become less responsive to debt levels the higher the latter are. At post-pandemic debt levels sustainability is far from certain. The results here indicate decisive action is required to ensure debt will fall back to prudent levels.
Assessment of Geo-Environmental Consequences of Oil and Gas Complex Enterprises’ Extraction Activities on the Shelf
Authors: Zaretskaya Marina
Published: January 2023

One of the causes of rising seismic tension in a territory is the production activity of mining enterprises, including those in the oil and gas industry. The paper reports the results of modeling and analysis of the tensions of geological structures, which include the contact areas of the continental and oceanic crust, making a slow horizontal movement. The technogenic impact of the production process of an offshore oil and gas production platform and the pressure of the ocean water column are taken into consideration. The differential factorization method is used to investigate the posed boundary value problems. The study assesses the occurring contact stresses and draws conclusions about their dependence on the distance between the plates, the thickness of the water layer, and the frequency of the external load, modeling the intensity of the production process. The results obtained can be used by oil and gas companies to work out scenarios of the production process in a risk-free mode.

Published: January 2023

The differential transform technique (DTM) looks promise for dealing with functional problems. Recent articles have demonstrated the DTM's efficiency in tackling a wide range of issues in many disciplines. In this paper, (DTM) is used to develop approximate, and exact solutions for some nonlinear diffusion equations. Nonlinear diffusion equations are used to describe processes and behaviours in fields of biology, heat transfer, chemical reactions, and mathematical physics. The differential transform method linked with Laplace transform and Pad’e approximation is used to improve some known results. The obtained solutions are compared with the exact known solutions, showing excellent agreement. The differential transformation method was used in conjunction with the use of the Laplace transform and the Pad’e approximation method, for the purpose of improving some calculations in the hope of obtaining a more accurate solution. The results were presented in the form of tables or graphics for the purpose of comparing the calculated solution and comparing it with some of the precise solutions presented previously. The results showed the accuracy of the agreement between the two solutions. This gives us the opportunity to use the method under consideration to find solutions to unknown problems and thus ensure the credibility of the calculated solution.
