Malevolent Creativity & the Metaverse
Authors: Bajwa Aman
Published: November 2022

The innovation of the Metaverse heralds a new milestone in the Information Age as investors move forward with the plan to bring the metaverse to fruition. The metaverse will offer a heightened experience in terms of interactivity, economics, and platform, while paving the way for greater immersion through virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. It is likely that as the metaverse develops, gaming will offer a unique social experience through its features such as virtual worlds. Based on this, it is important for policymakers to look at extremist subcultures that will operate in the metaverse through these virtual features. Due to the role played by fringe subcultures in facilitating the recent mass shooting event in Buffalo, this article aimed to examine the main features of the metaverse and how its immersive properties could influence the creation of future metaversal subcultures that could act as a gateway towards future mass shooting incidents. To that end, it applied the model of malevolent creativity to the extremist use of online spaces to gain insight on how such properties could aid online extremists towards mobilization. Results show that the concatenation of malevolent creativity, innovation, and subcultural extremism may bridge the gap between ideation of mass shootings and mobilization. Based on this, the implication of this research suggests that tech entrepreneurs for the metaverse should be mindful of the risks that disconnection from the real-world society can create for young, isolated users and aim to implement safeguards in integral areas of the metaverse seven-layer chain, such as spatial computing, discovery, and the creator economy.

Design of High Speed and Area Efficient N-Bit Digital Comparator
Authors: Sunkireddy Sahithi , Thallapally Sahithi , Avula Ganesh , Devi B. Shivani Gayatri
Published: November 2022

Abstract: A digital comparator is a hardware electronic device or a combinational logic circuit. It is capable of comparing two numbers as input in binary form and determines the output. In the previous designs like in the design of XOR-XNOR(XE) with cross-coupled p-MOS, even though it occupies less area, the full swing output voltage can’t be able to produce which creates a problem when the bit width increases. To avoid this kind of disadvantages we are designing a N-bit digital comparator in a way such that it produces full swing output voltage with the improved power efficiency as well as the transistor count in the circuit also decreases. So that it can be used in several applications like scientific computations and test circuit applications etc.

Adaptive nonsingular fixed-time attitude stabilization for quadrotor UAVs with multiple disturbances and uncertainties
Authors: Wang Lihui , Zhu Wenxing
Published: November 2022

This article proposes an adaptive fixed-time attitude stabilization
control scheme for quadrotor UAVs in the presence of multiple
disturbances and uncertainties. Firstly, a novel nonsingular fixed-time
terminal sliding mode (NNFTSM) surface is proposed. The dynamic surface
guarantees non-singularity and fixed-time convergence so that the
setting time is independent of the initial states. Secondly, using the
proposed NNFTSM surface and adaptive technique, an adaptive nonsingular
fixed-time terminal sliding mode controller (ANFTSMC) is designed for
UAVs attitude stabilization. It yields exponential convergence of the
attitude tracking errors to zero without requiring a priori knowledge of
the upper bounds of the multiple disturbances and uncertainties. Then,
the stability of the closed-loop control system is validated by the
candidate Lyapunov function, and the upper bound of the convergence time
is given. Finally, the parameter design criteria and the convergence
time comparison are analyzed in detail. Comparative performances for
quadrotor UAV attitude stabilization are presented, and the
effectiveness and superiority of the proposed controller are illustrated
over the existing method.

Improving the heat transfer performance of conventional fluid creates significant energy savings in process Industries. In this aspect, an experimental study was performed to evaluate the heat transfer performance of Fe2O3-water (W)-engine oil (EO) nanofluid at different concentrations and hot fluid inlet temperatures in a plate heat exchanger. Experiments were conducted by mixing Fe2O3 nanoparticles (45 nm) in a W-EO mixture base fluid with volume fractions of 5% EO + 95% W and 10% EO +90% W. The main aim of the present study was to assess the impacts of nanoparticle volume fraction and hot fluid inlet temperature variations on the heat transfer performance of the prepared nanofluid. The convective heat transfer coefficient, Reynolds, Prandtl, and Nusselt numbers were determined based on the experimental results. The result shows that at the hot fluid inlet temperature of 75 ?C, the increase in Nusselt number and convective heat transfer coefficient are optimum at 0.9 vol. % nanoparticle for both the base fluid mixtures. The increase in heat transfer coefficient is because of the Brownian motion (increasing thermal conductivity) effect, motion caused by the temperature gradient (Thermo-phoretic), and motion due to concentration gradient (Osmophoretic). If the volume fraction of the nanoparticle increases, then the Reynolds number increment is higher than the Prandtl number decrement, which augments the Nusselt number and convective heat transfer coefficient.

Authors: Ulriksen Ståle
Published: November 2022

Artikkelen drøfter hvordan analyse av militære disposisjoner kan brukes for å vurdere om et angrep vil komme. Artikkelen viser også hvordan enkel etterretningsmetodikk kan brukes i slike situasjoner.
Abstract in EnglishMilitary Factors That Suggest War is Right Around the CornerWhen and how do military deployments, dispositions and preparations signal that an attack is actually coming? The article discusses such questions using intelligence methodologies. Using the Russian decision to attack Ukraine in February 2022, the article argues that knowledge of how the attacker understand the situation is crucial. Thus, a more or less objective third-party estimate of the situation on the ground may provide understanding of how a war may develop, but it may not be sufficient to understand if an aggressor will actually attack.
Russlandsforskere, hva nå?
Authors: Fjæstad Kristin , Naterstad Tora Berge
Published: November 2022

Russlands krig mot Ukraina har enorme konsekvenser, først og fremst for Ukraina, men også for Russland og Russlands andre nabostater. Krigen har ikke bare kastet om på europeisk og norsk sikkerhets- og utenrikspolitikk, den vil ha store konsekvenser også for den norske forskningen på, og kunnskapen om, Russland. Mulighetene for forskning i Russland har blitt stadig mer begrenset over flere år, og etter februar 2022 er døren nærmest helt stengt. Samtidig er kunnskap om Russland viktig for Norge, som deler grense og forvalter kritiske ressurser i samarbeid med Russland. Slik vil det fortsette å være. Spørsmålet nå er hvordan denne kunnskapen skal skapes og oppdateres, gitt at rammebetingelsene som den norske forskningen på Russland de siste 30 årene har blitt produsert under, har endret seg dramatisk. Hvordan skal vi oppdatere norsk kunnskap om Russland i årene fremover? Hvilke metoder og data er tilgjengelige, og hva kan vi forvente av disse?
Abstract in EnglishWhat Now, Russologists?Russia’s war against Ukraine has enormous consequences. First and foremost for Ukraine, but also for Russia and its neighboring states. The war has not only changed European and Norwegian security and foreign policies, it will also have a significant impact on Norwegian research on and knowledge about Russia. The opportunities for doing research in Russia have become more limited in recent years. After February 2022, it has become impossible. At the same time, knowledge about Russia is important for Norway, which shares a border and administers critical resources in cooperation with Russia. This will continue to be the case. The question now is how this knowledge is to be created given that the framework conditions under which Norwegian research on Russia has been produced during the last 30 years have dramatically changed. How are we going to update Norwegian knowledge about Russia in the coming years? What methods and data are available, and what can we expect from these?
«Helt som normalt.» Foreldresamarbeid i barnehagen når en forelder er alvorlig syk av en dødelig sykdom
Authors: Hogstad Ingrid Johnsen , Grelland Røkholt Eline
Published: November 2022

I denne artikkelen retter vi oppmerksomhet mot foreldresamarbeid i barnehagen ved alvorlig, livstruende sykdom hos en forelder. Vi retter dermed oppmerksomhet mot omsorg som en grunnleggende del av barnehagens innhold, og vektlegger hvordan ansvar for ivaretakelse inkluderer samarbeid med familier som lever med sykdom og sorg. Følgende problemstilling er satt fram: Hva kjennetegner barnehagelæreres forhandling av samarbeidskontrakten mellom hjemmet og barnehagen når en mor eller far er alvorlig syk og dør? Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i et datamateriale fra individuelle intervjuer, der 18 barnehagelærere delte beretninger om foreldresamarbeid når en forelder var rammet av alvorlig og livstruende sykdom. Resultatene av analysen presenteres som tre kjennetegn i hvordan barnehagene forhandler om samarbeidskontrakten: Forandrede betingelser på gammel kontrakt, Reforhandling gjennom formelt foreldresamarbeid og Mellompersoner. Kjennetegnene drøftes med bakgrunn i en nordisk barnehagetradisjon, barnehagens samfunnsmandat og barnehagelærerens ansvar for å håndtere foreldres alvorlige sykdomog død som en del av foreldresamarbeidet og, ikke minst, som en del av ansvaret for ivaretakelsen av sørgendebarn. Artikkelen konkluderer med at ansvar for å justere foreldresamarbeidet ikke kan overlates til foreldrenesinitiativ. Sorgstøtte og samarbeid må betraktes som del av barnehagens forpliktelser. Barnehagensberedskapsplaner må innlemme proaktiv støtte i form av formelt foreldresamarbeid som legger til rette for reforhandling av samarbeidskontrakten. Slik blir det mulig å innlemme sorg og død som legitime tema også innenfor barnehagen som kontekst.

Published: November 2022

Стаття присвячена розв'язку контактної задачі для попередньо напруженого циліндричного штампа та двох пружних півпросторів з початковими напруженнями в аналітичному вигляді без врахування сил тертя. Будемо вважати, що поверхні поза межею контакту залишаються вільними від впливу зовнішніх сил, а на межі контакту переміщення та напруження — неперервні. Задачу розв'язано у випадку нерівних коренів визначального рівняння. Дослідження представлено у загальному виді для теорії великих початкових деформацій і двох варіантів теорії малих початкових деформацій у межах лінеаризованої теорії пружності при довільній структурі пружного потенціалу. Припускається, що початкові стани пружного циліндричного штампа та пружних основ (півпросторів) однорідні та рівні. Дослідження проводиться в координатах початкового деформованого стану, які пов'язані з лагранжевими координатами (природного стану). Крім того, вплив циліндричного штампа викликає невеликі збурення відповідних величин основного напружено-деформованого стану. Також передбачається, що пружний циліндричний штамп та пружні півпростори виготовлені з різних ізотропних, трансверсально-ізотропних або композитних матеріалів. У випадку ортотропних тіл, будемо вважати, що пружно-еквівалентні напрямки співпадають із напрямком осей координат у деформованому стані. Наведені загальні розв'язки основних диференціальних рівнянь лінеаризованої теорії пружності у випадку осесиметричної деформації для скінченної циліндричної області. У результаті, розв'язки поставленої задачі представлені у вигляді нескінченних рядів, коефіцієнти яких визначаються з нескінченної системи алгебраїчних рівнянь. Відмітимо, що коефіцієнти системи залежать від величин, що визначають структуру пружного потенціалу та висоту пружного штампа. У статті також встановлено зв'язок між осіданням та рівнодіючою навантаження. Отже, за допомогою отриманих розв'язків можна вивчити вплив початкових (залишкових) напружень у двох пружних півпросторах та пружному циліндричному штампі на розподіл контактних напружень в області контакту.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder that contributes a significant burden on the healthcare system. It is one of the major comorbidities associated with COVID-19 and affects its severity. Aim: To study the correlation between COVID-19 disease severity and its outcome in diabetes mellitus patients and to correlate HbA1C with COVID-19 disease severity, NEWS, Ct RT-PCR value and clinical outcome in COVID-19 diabetic patients. Settings and Design: This was a prospective cross-sectional observational study conducted in the Department of Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College. Method and Material: The study included a total of 60 subjects 30 in the diabetic group and 30 in the non-diabetic group. NEWS was calculated on the day of admission. HbA1C was correlated with disease severity, NEWS, Ct RT-PCR value and clinical outcome of patients. The data gathered were processed by SPSS version 25. The correlation between HbA1C, disease severity, NEWS, and Ct RT-PCR value was determined using Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Diabetic patients have more severe COVID-19 disease. NEWS at admission was higher in these patients. Higher HbA1C is associated with severe disease. HbA1C positively correlates with NEWS but negatively correlates with Ct RT-PCR value. Incidences of organ injury and inflammatory markers were higher in diabetic patients. Diabetes was associated with more complications and worse outcomes. Conclusions: Diabetic patients are more susceptible to the development of severe and worse outcomes in COVID.

Authors:   FHO, Bathinda (Pb), India, Kumar Mukesh
Published: November 2022

Background: Healthcare facilities at any point comprises different stakeholders and various mechanisms which require constant monitoring and feedback for smooth functioning and improvement in services. Feedback from patients is an important aspect and qualitative feedback is often left out. Hence a study was carried out to find patient satisfaction at a tertiary care hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a pre-designed bilingual questionnaire with a validated scale for measuring patients’ satisfaction among consenting individuals and caretakers of minor patients visiting OPD of a tertiary care hospital during Jun-Jul 2021. Results: Study participants were predominantly females with a mean age of 43 ± 14.23 years. The majority of study participants were found to be satisfied with “all but one parameter” of the scale for the facilities available at the hospital. Only for the overall cleanliness of the toilets, majority of them were not found to be satisfied. Patients who were asked for follow-up were found to be significantly associated with being overall satisfied with the attending doctor (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Patient satisfaction is an important aspect of healthcare, which is often not considered among other parameters. Healthcare facilities, especially tertiary care hospitals need to assess this component of patient care regularly to improve the quality of services being delivered.

Authors:   Post Graduate Resident, Department of Community Medicine, Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences Saifai, Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, India, Soni Kanchan
Published: November 2022

Background: In India, we have varied social customs, religions, climate and socio-economic conditions and therefore the pattern of skin diseases varies from region to region. In children, dermatoses are an important health problem. Skin disease affects more than 300 million people per year worldwide, resulting in considerable morbidity, especially in resource-limited countries. In view of paucity of data from Etawah region in Uttar Pradesh, the present study was conducted to evaluate the pattern of skin diseases in health training centres of U.P.U.M.S medical college in Saifai region, Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh in India. Aims and Objectives: To find out pattern of various skin disorders in children. Material and Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was carried out over a period of 4 months from 1 October 2019 to 31 January 2020 in OPD at Urban health training centre (UHTC) after ethical approval from the institute on every Tuesday and Thursday in Uttar Pradesh in India. Results: Pediculosis capitis (22.6%) was the most common dermatosis, followed by pyodermas (15.4%), pityriasis Alba (10.4%) and eczema (8.1%). Nutritional deficiency dermatoses (17.5%) were also common in this region [common manifestations included sparse hair (6.2%) and pigmented skin (7%). Conclusion: Pattern of skin diseases mostly depend not only on environmental factors but also on occupation, socio-economic status, literacy, and age of the patients. Health education of the parents and the schoolchildren about good nutrition, hygiene practices, and proper hydration of skin can be promoting in order to reduce the burden of skin disorders.
Should patients with Parkinson’s disease only visit a neurologist’s office? - a narrative review of neuropsychiatric disorders among people with Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Szarpak Julita , Drożak Paulina , Piwoński Michał , Wróblewski Hubert , Morylowska-Topolska Justyna
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is often accompanied by disorders such as depression, psychotic disorders, cognitive disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, impulse control disorders. The aim of the study was to review the literature and present the characteristics of neuropsychiatric disorders occurring in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease, with the specification of the above-mentioned disorders.

Material and method: The literature available on the PubMed platform from 1986 to 2022 was reviewed using the following keywords: Parkinson’s disease, depression, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, sleep disorders, cognitive disorders, impulse control disorders. Original studies, reviews, meta-analyzes and internet sources were analyzed.

Results: The above-mentioned neuropsychiatric disorders appear with different frequency among people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and occur at different times of its duration or even precede its onset for many years. The non-motor symptoms in the form of depressed mood, energy loss or changes in the rhythm of the day may result in a delay of appropriate therapy and thus in complications. Neuropathological changes in the course of Parkinson’s disease as well as dopaminergic drugs used in its therapy influence the development of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Conclusions: In order to avoid misdiagnosis, practitioners should use, e.g. scales intended for patients with Parkinson’s disease. To prevent the consequences of the aforementioned disease entities, methods of early diagnosis, determination of risk factors and standardization of the treatment process must be determined. Consistent care for patients with Parkinson’s disease is significant, not only in the neurological field, but also in the psychiatric one.
Monitoring population change using ’citizen science’ data: case study of the Hungarian White Stork(Ciconia ciconia)population between 1999 and 2021
Authors: Lovászi Péter , Nagy Károly , Görögh Zoltán , Szép Tibor
Published: November 2022

In Hungary, changes in the White Stork population are monitored using two methods that involve a large number of volunteers: nest surveys since 1941, and since 1999 within the framework of the Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (MMM) programme. In our article, we briefly present the results of the nest survey data between 1999 and 2021, the population trend calculated on the basis of them, and the comparison of the latter with the trends shown by the MMM programme, which – among other species – counts all stork individuals on 2.5×2.5 km sample areas. Both sets of data show a decreasing trend, but there is a significant difference between them, which may be partly due to the inaccuracies of the nest database, considering the fact that the MMM also counts non-breeding adult and immature individuals. However, both methods have the characteristics that make them suitable for monitoring population trends.

Influenza is an acute respiratory disease that is highly contagious and preventable. The symptoms of influenza range from mild to severe and can even cause mortality. Healthcare professionals are at high risk of getting infected and transmitting the influenza virus due to their contact with patients and working in healthcare facilities. This review aimed at assessing the knowledge and attitude of healthcare professionals toward influenza vaccination by reviewing the previous studies conducted on this subject. The exploration of databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Research Gate was adopted from 2017 till now. Many keywords were used for the search purpose, including "Knowledge, Attitude, Vaccination, Vaccine, Influenza, HCPs, and Awareness." The included studies were original English studies focusing on healthcare professionals and reported knowledge, attitude, or both regarding influenza vaccination. A total of 3,330 articles were obtained, and only ten articles were eligible for the inclusion criteria. The total number of healthcare professionals was 6,330, with female dominancy in nine studies. The more dominant professions were nurses (46.8%%), followed by physicians/doctors (41.9%). There was insufficient overall knowledge and insufficient knowledge regarding the recommendations and guidelines regarding influenza vaccination among healthcare professionals, but they had a positive attitude.
¿HIPERPRESIDENCIALISMO O MONARQUÍA REPUBLICANA? FRANCIA EN EL DEBATE ACTUAL
Authors: Le Madec Beverido Galo
Published: November 2022

¿Monarquía Republicana, hiperpresidencialismo o presidente jupiteriano? El presente artículo de investigación examina, a partir del análisis político y jurídico constitucional, el ejercicio del poder presidencial en un sistema semi presidencialista como el francés. A la luz de la Constitución de 1958 y de sus sucesivas reformas, ¿es posible que el Presidente vaya más allá de lo que el texto constitucional establece, es decir, que ejerza poderes metaconstitucionales?. En Francia el Presidente se ha caracterizado en las últimas décadas por ocupar una posición cada vez dominante en el paisaje político, esto a expensas no solo del poder legislativo, que históricamente ha operado como una suerte de oficialía de partes, sino sobre todo del Primer Ministro, quien es la otra cabeza del ejecutivo. Por lo que, a partir de la técnica documental y siguiendo una metodología analítica se expone una crítica al traspaso de los límites del poder presidencial en Francia.

Desde la perspectiva del cumplimiento de la agenda 2030, el Observatorio en Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional de la Universidad Veracruzana incorpora a su base de datos indicadores de los Objetivos 1. Fin de la pobreza, 2. Hambre cero, 3. Salud y bienestar, 6. Agua limpia y saneamiento y 12. Producción y consumo responsables. Se analizaron datos de 15 indicadores a nivel municipal y estatal de los cuales se encuentra información disponible y actualizada. Se encontró que la situación de pobreza se ha agudizado en el periodo comprendido de 2015 a 2020 y que la situación de pobreza extrema coexiste con una alta prevalencia de inseguridad alimentaria y nutricional, así como de obesidad. Además, persiste la carencia de servicios básicos (agua entubada y drenaje) en algunos municipios, un elemento básico y primordial para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional. De igual manera, se identifica la carencia de servicio de recolección y tratamiento adecuado de residuos sólidos que, sin lugar a duda, impactan en los entornos poco saludables. Es necesario destacar la necesidad de una atención focalizada y multisectorial a nivel municipal para atender los determinantes y problemáticas asociadas a la inseguridad alimentaria y nutricional.

Rectal cancer (RC) is one of the leading tumor location in the structure of the incidence of malignant neoplasms in the Russian Federation and the world. And the standard approach to the treatment of patients with locally advanced forms of RC is preoperative chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) with delayed surgery. The use of such sort of approach in the recent decades has led to the reduction of the frequency of local recurrence up to 10% and even less. However, approximately a third of patients die of distant metastases. In this regard, one of the main tasks in the treatment of patients with locally advanced forms of RC with adverse prognostic factors is the prevention of distant metastasis formation. Early initiation of the systemic therapy before surgery is aimed at solving this issue. Conducting neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) instead of CRT in RC treatment allows to avoid radiation reactions and injuries, occurring in some patients. Two-component oxaliplatin-containing regimens are the most well studied types of NCT in the treatment of patients with non-metastatic RC. In this connection, despite the differences in the treatment regimens and the number of cycles, a good tolerability of the method as well as no effect on the frequency of postoperative complications and in general a satisfactory results comparable to the effects of CRT were observed. The use of NCT in combination with targeted treatment modalities as well as three-component chemotherapy regimens are promising and encouraging treatment options for patients with RC with adverse prognostic factors.

The indication for radiotherapy in oncological practice are metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer after thyroidectomy, the presence of distant metastases, or stage N1b, or negative dynamics of blood thyroglobulin levels after thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. The mechanism of action of radiotherapy is based on provoking double-stranded DNA breaks. It is important to study the role of polymorphisms of NFKB1, ATM, ATG16L2 and ATG10 genes, products of which are involved in the processes of DNA damage response pathway and autophagy, in the formation of resistance to radioiodine therapy of thyroid cancer patients.
Aim. To examine the association between NFKB1, ATM, ATG16L2 and ATG10 polymorphisms and resistance to radioiodine therapy in thyroid cancer patients.
Materials and methods. The study included 181 patients (37 men, 144 women; mean age 53.515.7 years) with histologically confirmed thyroid cancer and a history of thyroidectomy who received radioiodine therapy. Carriage of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs230493) NFKB1, (rs11212570) ATM, (rs10898880) ATG16L2 and (rs10514231, rs1864183, rs4703533) ATG10 was determined by real-time PCR using TaqMan kits.
Results. Among 181 patients, resistance to radioiodine therapy was observed in 11 (6.1%) cases. No significant associations between the individual polymorphisms and resistance to radioiodine therapy were obtained, p0.05. Haplotype analysis showed that carriage of the C-C ATG10 rs10514231-rs1864183 haplotype was associated with an increased risk of developing resistance to radioiodine therapy, p=0.04.
Conclusion. Further studies on large samples of radioiodine therapy-resistant patients using whole-genome sequencing methods are required to specify the role of genetic factors in the response to 131I therapy.

Aim. To determine the diagnostic value of endosonography in primary and secondary esophageal tumors. Materials and methods. Between 2018 and 2022, 118 patients with primary and secondary esophageal changes were managed at the Blokhin National Medical Research Center for Oncology. Primary changes imply invasion of the esophagus directly by a tumor, secondary changes mean invasion of the esophageal wall by a tumor from outside, and the transition of a tumor from the stomach to the esophagus. Results. All patients had esophagogastroduodenoscopy combined with endoscopic ultrasound performed. Besides estimating the tumor invasion depth in the esophageal wall and the possible involvement of other structures at a distance up to 5 cm from the esophagus, the proximal margin of the tumor was examined. According to esophagogastroduodenoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound examination, the difference in the proximal margin was not more than 1.0 cm. The difference in results may be due to the submucosal nature of tumor growth. Conclusion. Endoscopic ultrasound examination is the most important diagnostic method to determine the proximal margin of the primary and secondary esophageal tumors and evaluate the degree of invasion into the esophageal wall, which is an essential factor for the treatment choice.
Implication of COVID-19 on Post-Secondary Students’ Mental Health: A Review
Authors: Sillcox Carly
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Nearing two nears into the current pandemic, COVID-19 is recognized worldwide for its devastating physical effects, with mandatory restrictions implemented to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. However, the world is only beginning to understand the pandemic’s mental and social side effects. As such, current research on consequential mental health from COVID-19 is still novel, and there is much more to be learned concerning the long-term psychological effects and damage from the pandemic.
Discussion: The combination of online learning and social isolation due to COVID-19 has affected post-secondary students across North America as it relates to their overall well-being and mental health. Researchers have aimed to examine the psychological impact on students’ mental health, primarily through cross-sectional studies and self-reported surveys.
Conclusion: Studies have determined that COVID-19 has increased mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, as well as increased feelings of isolation, loneliness, and fatigue. Furthermore, drinking and substance use, poor sleeping patterns, and screen time have risen as a result of the ongoing pandemic.
Relevance: These findings call for post-secondary institutions, health care providers, and governments to prioritize the mental health of future generations while providing support and intervention programs. Future research should focus on further investigating COVID-19’s long-term effects on the mental health of post-secondary students and exploring prevention methods.

US CUSTOMS DIPLOMACY
Authors: Batalov Oleksii , Rashchupkina Daria
Published: November 2022

The content and features of the concept of «customs diplomacy» are studied on the example of the foreign policy activities of the US Customs Administration, which conducts one of the best customs diplomacy in the world. For example, the US Customs Service plays an important role in ensuring not only national but also transnational economic security. The protection of American customs interests by the relevant services begins far from the actual borders of the United States. Therefore, the study of the experience of US customs diplomacy, of course, is relevant for Ukraine.

The definition of «customs diplomacy» is given through a set of specific techniques and methods. The methods, techniques and principles of US customs diplomacy are considered, the main provisions of the CBP Global Engagement Strategy are analyzed. The structural units responsible for the implementation of American customs diplomacy are listed, and their competencies are determined. The officials of the US Customs and Border Protection who are responsible for the implementation of customs diplomacy are named.

Particular attention is paid to US international cooperation with partner countries in the customs sector. An example of such cooperation is North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The practice of implementing international projects and initiatives by US customs attachés in other countries (for example, the Container Security Initiative) is analyzed. International training and support programs of methodological and organizational and technical nature, conducted for foreign partner customs services and agencies, are considered. The important role of harmonizing relations between customs services through the conclusion of international bilateral and multilateral agreements is noted.

It is noted that international cooperation in the customs sphere is important for solving global problems of the world. Thus, strengthening the cooperation of the US Customs Administration with partner countries, agencies and trade groups contributes to transnational security, efficient trade, travel, dissemination of information etc.

Providing tax deductions admits the population to feel the actual financial participation of the state in their lives. The paper defines the concept of tax deduction, revealing it from the point of view of legal optimization of the taxation of individuals. The research singled out conditions for granting standard, social, investment, property, professional tax deductions and it considered viable options for a taxpayer’s application to the tax authorities for the right to use them. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and develop practical recommendations for increasing the amount of tax deductions, considering dynamic changes in the minimum wage. The authors defined the following tasks to achieve it: study and generalize the views of Russian scientists on the problems of providing tax deductions in modern economic conditions; identify and argue the socio-economic problems of tax deductions and suggest ways to solve them; develop approaches to improve the mechanism for increasing the size of tax deductions in order to fulfill the functions assigned to them, namely, the impact on improving welfare and providing tangible state social guarantees to the population. In the work’s course, the authors used abstract-logical, computational-analytical, monographic and experimental methods. Also, the methodological and theoretical basis were the work of domestic scientists on research, regulatory legal and legislative acts of the Russian Federation regulating the functioning of the tax system; official publications, as well as materials of scientific and practical conferences. The results obtained will make it possible to determine the ways of more detailed improvement of the mechanism for granting tax deductions, working out the procedure for their administration and the conditions for their provision to the population of the country. The aim of this is to establish more reasonable amounts of these deductions and implement the principle of uniform taxation of citizens of the Russian Federation.
Sürdürülebilir ve Yeni Bir “Gıda” Alternatifi Olarak Yenilebilir Böcekler
Authors: Andaç Ali Emre , Yılmaz Tuncel Neşe
Published: November 2022

Bazı böcek türlerinin insanlar tarafından tüketilmesi yeni bir konu olmamakla birlikte, son yıllarda özellikle nüfusun ve hayvansal protein talebinin artışı ile birlikte yeniden ele alınan bir konudur. Böceklerin hâlihazırda en az 2 milyar insan tarafından tüketildiği tahmin edilmektedir. Diğer pek çok hayvansal kaynağa göre daha az yem ile daha fazla vücut ağırlığı kazanımı ve küresel ısınmada çok önemli rol oynayan sera gazı salınımındaki payının oransal olarak çok daha az olması, yenilebilir böceklerin gelecek senaryolarında hem insan gıdası hem de hayvan yemi olarak potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesini önemli kılmaktadır. Besinsel açıdan değerlendirildiğinde yenilebilir böceklerin protein, yağ, diyet lif ve mineral bakımından oldukça zengin kaynaklar olduğu görülmektedir. Bu besin öğeleri içerisinde özellikle protein miktar ve kalitesi dikkat çekmektedir. Diğer yandan, yenilebilir böcekler geleneksel hayvansal kaynaklara kıyasla daha az yem ve su kullanılarak, daha küçük alanlarda yetiştirilebilmekte olup, atık miktarları da oldukça düşüktür. Bununla birlikte, yenilebilir kabul edilen bu böcek türlerinin yetiştirilmesi oldukça yeni bir konu olup hem gıda güvenliği hem de doğal denge bakımından bazı riskler taşımaktadır. Konuya ilişkin yasal mevzuatlarda da ciddi bir boşluk söz konusudur. Yenilebilir böceklere olan ilgi ve bu konudaki bilimsel araştırmaların sayısı son yıllarda dikkate değer bir artış göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada; yenilebilir böceklerin besleyicilik değeri, üretimi, işlenmesi, depolanması, ekonomisi, sağlık ve çevre üzerine etkileri, tüketici kabulü ve yasal düzenlemeler gibi başlıklar ele alınarak konu çok boyutlu bir yaklaşımla ve güncel literatürler taranarak derlenmiştir.
