Identification and analysis of Salado Formation amplitude anomalies in the Midland Basin
Authors: Woller Kevin L. , Meek Robert A. , George Mark C.
Published: December 2022

Careful mapping of shallow drilling hazards is key to operating an oil field safely and economically. In the Midland Basin, historical information indicates that shallow gas in the Salado Formation may result in blowouts. By using recently acquired higher-resolution 3D seismic surveys, we can identify circular high-amplitude anomalies that we interpret to be nitrogen-filled gas pockets. The larger pockets can be mapped and avoided before drilling a well. Detecting gas pockets in the Salado Formation may require modern 3D coverage or higher-resolution seismic drill site surveys if older low-fold seismic data are available at the drilling locations. The smallest pockets may not be detectable by any means. Although some of the larger anomalies are visible on older 3D surveys, most only became visible with the advent of higher-fold denser 3D seismic surveys. The anomalies sometimes follow a linear pattern. However, most are isolated in nature and appear as circular features in plan view and usually lenticular or columnar in section view. The anomalies range in size from a few traces in width (tens of feet or meters) to more than 1000 ft (300 m) in width or length. Seismic modeling suggests that the anomalies are very low P-wave velocity zones (about half of the velocity of the surrounding salt) and exhibit longer seismic traveltimes or push-down effects on reflections underneath the larger anomalies.

PURPOSE

Hydroxyurea (HY) is a reference treatment of advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms. We conducted a randomized phase III trial comparing decitabine (DAC) and HY in advanced myeloproliferative chronic myelomonocytic leukemias (CMML).

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Newly diagnosed myeloproliferative CMML patients with advanced disease were randomly assigned 1:1 to intravenous DAC (20 mg/m2/d days 1-5) or HY (1-4 g/d) in 28-day cycles. The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS), events being death and acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AML) transformation or progression.

RESULTS

One-hundred seventy patients received DAC (n = 84) or HY (n = 86). Median age was 72 and 74 years, and median WBC count 32.5 × 109/L and 31.2 × 109/L in the DAC and HY arms, respectively. Thirty-three percent of DAC and 31% of HY patients had CMML-2. Patients received a median of five DAC and six HY cycles. With a median follow-up of 17.5 months, median EFS was 12.1 months in the DAC arm and 10.3 months in the HY arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.83; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.16; P = .27). There was no significant interaction between treatment effect and blast or platelet count, anemia, CMML Prognostic Scoring System, Groupe Francophone des Myelodysplasies, or CMML Prognostic Scoring System–mol risk. Fifty-three (63%) DAC patients achieved a response compared with 30 (35%) HY patients ( P = .0004). Median duration of response was similar in both arms (DAC, 16.3 months; HY, 17.4 months; P = .90). Median overall survival was 18.4 months in the DAC arm and 21.9 months in the HY arm ( P = .67). Compared with HY, DAC significantly reduced the risk of CMML progression or transformation to acute myelomonocytic leukemia (cause-specific HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.41 to 0.94; P = .005) at the expense of death without progression or transformation (cause-specific HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 0.82 to 2.9; P = .04).

CONCLUSION

Compared with HY, frontline treatment with DAC did not improve EFS in patients with advanced myeloproliferative CMML (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02214407 ).
Reassessing the Benefits and Harms of Risk-Reducing Medication Considering the Persistent Risk of Breast Cancer Mortality in Estrogen Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer

PURPOSE

Recent studies, including a meta-analysis of 88 trials, have shown higher than expected rates of recurrence and death in hormone receptor–positive breast cancer. These new findings suggest a need to re-evaluate the use of risk-reducing medication to avoid invasive breast cancer and breast cancer death in high-risk women.

METHODS

We adapted an established Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network model to evaluate the lifetime benefits and harms of risk-reducing medication in women with a ≥ 3% 5-year risk of developing breast cancer according to the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium risk calculator. Model input parameters were derived from meta-analyses, clinical trials, and large observational data. We evaluated the effects of 5 years of risk-reducing medication (tamoxifen/aromatase inhibitors) with annual screening mammography ± magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared with no screening, MRI, or risk-reducing medication. The modeled outcomes included invasive breast cancer, breast cancer death, side effects, false positives, and overdiagnosis. We conducted subgroup analyses for individual risk factors such as age, family history, and prior biopsy.

RESULTS

Risk-reducing tamoxifen with annual screening (± MRI) decreased the risk of invasive breast cancer by 40% and breast cancer death by 57%, compared with no tamoxifen or screening. This is equivalent to an absolute reduction of 95 invasive breast cancers, and 42 breast cancer deaths per 1,000 high-risk women. However, these drugs are associated with side effects. For example, tamoxifen could increase the number of endometrial cancers up to 11 per 1,000 high-risk women. Benefits and harms varied by individual characteristics.

CONCLUSION

The addition of risk-reducing medication to screening could further decrease the risk of breast cancer death. Clinical guidelines for high-risk women should consider integrating shared decision making for risk-reducing medication and screening on the basis of individual risk factors.
Semiotics of Rape
Authors: Oza Rupal
Published: December 2022

In Semiotics of Rape, Rupal Oza follows the social life of rape in rural northwest India to reveal how rape is not only a violation of the body but a language through which a range of issues—including caste and gender hierarchies, control over land and labor, and the shape of justice—are contested. Rather than focus on the laws governing rape, Oza closely examines rape charges to show how the victims and survivors of rape reclaim their autonomy by refusing to see themselves as defined entirely by the act of violation. Oza also shows how rape cases become arenas where bureaucrats, village council members, caste communities, and the police debate women’s sexual subjectivities and how those varied understandings impact the status and reputations of individuals and groups. In this way, rape gains meaning beyond the level of the survivor and victim to create a social category. By tracing the shifting meanings of sexual violence and justice, Oza offers insights into the social significance of rape in India and beyond.

Published: December 2022

Στην ανά χείρας διατριβή εξετάζεται η μετάλλαξη του αντικομμουνιστικού λόγου στην Ελλάδα της δεκαετίας του ’40 και η ανάδυση της έννοιας της εθνικοφροσύνης. Η συναίρεση κομμουνισμού και σλαβισμού στην καινοφανή έννοια του «σλαβοκομμουνισμού», κεντρική στον επίσημο και δημόσιο λόγο της περιόδου, διαμόρφωσε τον ιδιαίτερο χαρακτήρα του ελληνικού αντικομμουνισμού στο περιβάλλον του Ψυχρού Πολέμου. Μέσω μιας γενεαλογικής προσέγγισης, επιχειρείται να αναλυθεί το κοινωνικοπολιτικό πλαίσιο που γέννησε αυτή τη λογοθετική κατασκευή, τα σημασιολογικά πεδία που δημιούργησε, καθώς επίσης και οι συναρθρώσεις του με άλλους λόγους, η εμπέδωσή της σε θεσμούς και πρακτικές και, τέλος, η επίδρασή της στον ελληνικό εμφύλιο πόλεμο.
Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών και φοιτητές 1922-1940
Authors: Βέη-Χριστοδούλου Αγγελική
Published: December 2022

Αντικείμενο της διδακτορικής διατριβής είναι o προσδιορισμός και η περιγραφή της ταυτότητας του φοιτητικού σώματος του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών στον Μεσοπόλεμο, σε μια περίοδο μείζονων πολιτικών και κοινωνικών αλλαγών, αλλά και μετασχηματισμού της ανώτατης εκπαίδευσης και περιορισμού του κυρίαρχου έως τότε ρόλου του Πανεπιστημίου. Η διατριβή κινήθηκε σε δυο κατευθύνσεις: έγινε προσπάθεια αφενός να περιγράψει τις αλλαγές της περιόδου συνδέοντάς τες με την ιστορική συγκυρία και αφετέρου να τις αντιληφθεί και να τις κατανοήσει μέσα στη συνολική διαδρομή του φοιτητικού σώματος. Κατά τη μεσοπολεμική περίοδο, η φοιτητική κοινότητα έγινε πολύ πιο ισχυρή και ορατή, μέσω καταρχάς της αριθμητικής της αύξησης. Οι παράγοντες γι’ αυτό ήταν η επιστροφή στις αίθουσες διδασκαλίας των φοιτητών που υπηρέτησαν στον στρατό την εμπόλεμη δεκαετία 1912-1922, η έλευση και εγκατάσταση των προσφύγων στην Ελλάδα, ιδιαίτερα μετά τη Μικρασιατική Καταστροφή, και οι Έλληνες ομογενείς φοιτητές, για όλους τους οποίους υπήρχαν «ευεργετήματα» ως προς τις σπουδές τους. Ακόμα, συνέτεινε η εγγραφή των φοιτητριών στο Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών, σε συνδυασμό με τη διεύρυνση του σχολικού δικτύου και τις εκπαιδευτικές μεταρρυθμίσεις της περιόδου. Παράλληλα, δημιουργήθηκε μια νέα κατηγορία, πολύ πιο διευρυμένη από τα προηγούμενα χρόνια: εκείνη των άπορων ή φτωχών φοιτητών. Από την πλευρά του, το Πανεπιστήμιο διεκδίκησε τη μείωση του φοιτητικού πληθυσμού, αίτημα στο οποίο συναίνεσε και το κράτος με την καθιέρωση μέτρων για την επιλογή και τον αριθμό των εισερχομένων· παρ’ όλα αυτά, η αύξηση ήταν σημαντική. Την ίδια στιγμή, μέσα στη φοιτητική κοινότητα αναπτύχθηκαν περισσότερο οι δεσμοί ανάμεσα στα μέλη της, λόγω της συστηματοποίησης και του εμπλουτισμού των πανεπιστημιακών σπουδών, δίνοντας μια πολύ πιο απτή διάσταση στη φοιτητική ιδιότητα. Τέλος, απόρροια και των παραπάνω, αναπτύχθηκε ένας νέος συνδικαλισμός στα Πανεπιστήμια, συνδεδεμένος και με το έντονο πολιτικό κλίμα της εποχής. Η φοιτητική διεκδίκηση έγινε πολυδιάστατη και απέκτησε πιο δυναμικό χαρακτήρα, λόγω και της εμφάνισης των αριστερών ιδεών στα φοιτητικά ακροατήρια, ιδέες που αντιμετωπίστηκαν με μια εκστρατεία αντικομμουνιστικού λόγου αλλά και πειθαρχικών διώξεων από το Πανεπιστήμιο. Συνολικά, τα χρόνια του Μεσοπολέμου αποτέλεσαν την κρίσιμη περίοδο για την προετοιμασία της μετάβασης από το φοιτητικό σώμα του 19ου αιώνα σε εκείνο του 20ού, μια μετάβαση συνδεδεμένη με την πολιτική και κοινωνική συγκυρία της περιόδου.
TRANSPORTATION OF COAL BY SEA AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS TRANSPORTATION
Authors: Nikolashin Sergey Yu. , Khabirov Timur R.
Published: December 2022

Maritime and maritime transport is a vital component of the global economy and transport network. The number of people, firms and organizations using shipping is growing worldwide. As with other transport systems, safety is critical in maritime transport. Because ship emergency processes are very different from emergency evacuation processes from buildings and other vehicles and are more complex, many researchers have published a wide range of documents relevant to this specific area of research.

In recent decades, marine accidents have attracted a lot of attention due to huge material damage, accidents and serious environmental pollution. Maritime transport can include unforeseen events resulting in catastrophic casualties as well as fatal injuries at sea. About 63% of shipping accidents in the world are recurring. In other words, they arise with courts that have already survived at least one previous accident. In this case, emergency management plans are recognized as a priority for prompt consideration, taking into account the potential consequences of natural disasters in the marine industry.

The article discusses the issues of coal transportation by sea and requirements regarding the safe laying and transportation of coal. Unsafe transportation can lead to appropriate risks on board, such as structural damage iz-za improper distribution of coal, chemical reaction leading to spontaneous combustion, release of explosive gases and liquefaction.

Since coal is subject to liquefaction, a number of precautions and procedures without precautions and follow procedures for safe loading and transportation.

Purpose. The goal is to analyze coal as a dangerous cargo, and the risks associated with its transportation.

Methodology the article used statistical methods of analysis and factor method of coal liquefaction.

Results: parameters of comparison of coal particles, for its safe transportation.

Practical implications it is advisable to apply the obtained results when transporting general goods by sea.
Rainfall dynamics in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Nigeria under RCP 8.5
Authors: Adegun Olubunmi , Odunuga Shakirudeen
Published: December 2022

The study analysed the historical (1961–90) and projected rainfall variability for the rainy season expected in the near future (2021–50) at selected locations within the Komadugu-Yobe and Sokoto-Rima River Basins in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of northern Nigeria. Three models were utilised, and analyses were based on Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5. Projected changes in mean, level of variability and distribution of rainfall were analysed using the Relative Percentage Change Method and the Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI), while the performance of the models was evaluated using the Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) index. The results show that changes in mean rainfall will be predominantly negative, with a minimum and maximum level of change of ˗1.02 per cent at Nguru, and ˗70.4 per cent at Jos, based on the IPSL-CM5A and HadGEM2-ES models, respectively. The rainy season of the baseline period varied between low and moderate variability, while the near future ranges between low and high levels of variability. The validation indicates acceptable levels of performance, with most values ranging between 0.0 and 1.0. The PCI for the near future suggests that the rainy season will be mainly characterised by uniform and near-uniform rainfall distribution. Hence, the projected negative changes and high variability of rainfall at some locations call for the development of an Adaptive Benefit Mechanism that will minimise future natural resource conflicts.

Authors: Povar M. , Tkachuk S. , Yasinska O.
Published: December 2022

In the course of Human Physiology, students of different specialties learn cyclic processes reflecting the work of the cardiovascular, respiratory, female reproductive systems and sleep as well. Visualization of the cyclic processes is essential for better understanding of the organization and functioning of these systems and finding pathological deviations with formation of defective cycles.

The objective of the work is to analyze the application of the visualization of the respiratory stages into the educational process. Dynamics of the physiological processes at various stages of respiration with the help of schematic visual figures allows effective formation of the students’ systemic understanding of the respiratory system functions and its interrelations with the cardiovascular system.  These enable to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge while solving clinical situational tasks and formation of professional competence.

The historical construction of schooling in recent decades is discussed through some documents of UNESCO. As an example of gender inequality within educational proposals, some texts from children’s literature will be analysed to highlight the gender stereotypes that still exist in the editorial industry today.
La compulsión a la repetición, la represión del eros y la conciencia dramática en Escenarios de guerra de Andrea Jeftanovic.
Authors: Sevilla-Vallejo Santiago
Published: December 2022

Escenarios de guerra indaga en la memoria, como aquella faceta en la que se recuerda y vuelve una y otra vez a ciertas inquietudes y limitaciones del afecto. La narradora lleva a la escena los conflictos de los orígenes de su familia, las incertidumbres políticas y los desencuentros personales que marcan su vida como un camino de guerra, que deja heridas ocultas. La narración está marcada por la compulsión a la repetición, la represión del eros y la melancolía. Sin embargo, la historia se relata desde una conciencia dramática que permite también una reflexión sobre la propia identidad, la identidad de los seres cercanos y la relación con estos. Este estudio aborda la obra desde distintos modelos psicocríticos para tratar las motivaciones de la protagonista y desde la identidad narrativa ricoeuriana para explicar el proceso de construcción de la identidad a través del discurso.

Literatura y roles de género: el viaje a España de Susan y Edward E. Hale.
Authors: Cantizano Márquez Blasina
Published: December 2022

Intelectuales, cultos y criados en un ambiente que favorecía cualquier tipo de creación artística, los hermanos norteamericanos Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909) y Susan Hale (1833-1910) recorren España junto con otros miembros de su familia en 1882. Sobre España, su cultura, su población y las apreciaciones individuales de los autores, surgen dos obras de enfoque bien distinto: A Family Flight Through Spain (1883) de Susan y Seven Spanish Cities and the Way to Them (1883) de Edward. Ya desde el título se aprecian las primeras diferencias entre ambas narrativas de viaje: el de Edward parece ser de corte más tradicional, erudito y profesional también, mientras que el de Susan puede dar la sensación de ser más íntimo y personal, quizá enfocado a otro tipo de lector. Este trabajo se centra en comparar y analizar las obras desde un punto de vista contrastivo, destacando las similitudes y diferencias que puedan establecerse entre ambos en cuestión de perspectiva, temática y contenido, prestando especial atención al peso de la tradición y los roles de género que puedan existir en la literatura de uno y otro autor.
Zróżnicowanie społeczno-ekonomiczne obszaru Galicji zachodniej na początku XX wieku w aspekcie regionu kulturowego
Authors: Dorocki Sławomir
Published: December 2022

The article presents the relationship between the cultural diversity and the socio-economic development of Western Galicia at the beginning of the 20th century. A statistical analysis has been carried out on the basis of statistics relating to national diversity (language, religion) and selected variables reflecting the level of economic development of the locality. On the basis of multi-dimensional statistical methods, a simplified model for the development of Galicia was obtained. The German-speaking community and foreigners were the most closely related to the development of cities and industry. The Jewish population also lived to a large extent in urbanized regions with a large share of industry. Agricultural and poor areas are the domain of the Polish and Ruthenian people. Differentiation is also noticeable in the east-west and northsouth system. In Galicia, the Carpathian mountain region was also distinguished.
Starożytne podstawy zabawy i ludyczny kontekst epizodu Opowieści o Dawidzie (2 SM 6,1-23)
Authors: Plichta Paweł
Published: December 2022

The analysis is a fragment of the Second Book of Samuel. The story is important for many reasons. Very often it is used in historical research and cultural studies as an example of the ludic dimension of human existence. A seemingly simple description of the event can be interpreted as an example of cultic sources of play in culture. We may see the image of David dancing as an opportunity to bring the problem of the beginnings of play and its connection with the ritual in the context of the Bible – cultural texts, interacting through the centuries. Forms of expression of ancient Israelites have their continuation in particular Simchat Torah celebration.

Księga jubileuszowa stanowi zbiór artykułów naukowych i esejów opracowanych z okazji czterdziestolecia utworzenia Okręgowej Izby Radców Prawnych w Krakowie oraz powstania samorządu radców prawnych. Idea powstania publikacji narodziła się w gronie Prezydium Rady OIRP w Krakowie, gdzie zdecydowano o przygotowaniu zbioru tekstów będących owocem pracy radców prawnych krakowskiej Izby, którzy jedno cześnie z pracą w praktyce prawniczej są aktywni zawodowo w obszarze nauki prawa. Redaktorzy nie narzucali Autorom doboru tematów, a celem publikacji jest pokazanie intelektualnego potencjału Okręgowej Izby Radców Prawnych w Krakowie jako wszechstronnej i opiniotwórczej reprezenta cji prawników z krakowskiego ośrodka uniwersyteckiego. Dzięki temu założeniu udało się zebrać opracowania świadczące o bogactwie specjalizacji i wiedzy osób wykonujących zawód radcy prawnego. W oddanym do rąk Czytelników tomie znalazły miejsce zarówno prace teoretyczno prawne, jak i studia historycznoprawne, a także eseje z dziedzin powiązanych z prawoznawstwem oraz oczywiście opracowania z zakresu dogmatyki poszczególnych gałęzi prawa i praktyki stosowania prawa.
Przedmiot prawa autorskiego z perspektywy polskiego orzecznicta
Authors: Matlak Andrzej
Published: December 2022

Court practice shows in recent years that copyright disputes are a particularly complicated issue (from the point of view of predictability of decisions). This is due to various reasons (e.g. a rather general definition of the work, imprecise regulation regarding the content of copyright, including some forms of permitted use, and the special character of copyright contracts).This study discusses representative judgments in the field of copyright law in order to demonstrate the most significant legal problems faced by Polish courts. The analysis of the jurisprudence in question shows that judges have rather liberal approach when assessing the fulfilment of the conditions for being a work. This includes the application of more lenient criteria in relation to works of a functional character. And although such an approach can also be seen in foreign case law, when analysing specific factual situations courts should be guided primarily by the fundamental principles of copyright law justifying the protection of works, which must be characterised by originality and individuality. Indeed, the fundamental role of copyright law is both to protect the interests of authors and society as a whole, so that it is not deprived of access to information concerning science, culture and art.
Jedna czy wiele definicji tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa? Analiza na tle prawa zamówień publicznych i postępowania przed Prezesem Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów
Authors: Widła Bohdan
Published: December 2022

Both the provisions of the Polish public procurement law and the provisions on proceedings before the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) allow entrepreneurs to rely on their trade secrets. The same definition is used in both cases, as expressed in the Act on Combating Unfair Competition. However, in both cases, the adjudicating bodies developed different practices regarding the requirements that must be met to effectively claim that information is protected as a trade secret. This leads to some sectoral departures from the general approach toward trade secret protection. This contribution presents the evolution of the jurisprudence of the National Appeal Chamber in public procurement cases against the background of the practice of the President of Office of Competition and Consumer Protection and soft law acts issued by the Office.

The provisions of the Act on Legal Advisers impose an obligation on the employer to consult the Council of the District Chamber of Legal Advisers before terminating the employment contract of a attorney-at-law. The opinion should be obtained in those cases where it concerns the improper performance of obligations under the provisions of the Act on Legal Advisers. The obligation to consult the Council of the District Chamber of Legal Advisers is protective in nature. It is a means of ensuring the independence of attorneys-at-law and minimizing arbitrariness in the evaluation of their work in an area in which they require specialist knowledge. The study discusses the scope of the obligation to issue an opinion, when it is required, and the consequences of failure to comply with this requirement.

Conservadurismo, clasismo y racismo: Nuevo orden (2020) un análisis ideológico
Authors: Frías Gamez Luis Gerardo
Published: December 2022

Nuevo orden (2020) es una película de ficción reconocida en diversos festivales internacionales de cine por su narrativa y propuesta estética. Sin embargo, la crítica cinematográfica señaló la presencia de un discurso clasista y racista. A partir de estas observaciones surge el objetivo de analizar el discurso ideológico referente al racismo y el clasismo representado en la película a partir de dos personajes masculinos pertenecientes a diferentes clases sociales. Para realizar este análisis textual se emplea el método de Van Dijk (1998) para describir las ideologías de los grupos sociales a partir de la observación de la puesta en escena. Entre los resultados se encuentra que ambos personajes comparten algunas características físicas y características sociales como heterosexualidad, religión y deseos de mantener el statu quo. No obstante, se encuentran diferencias en cuanto a la posición social, rasgos raciales y comportamiento. Por último, se confirman las observaciones en cuanto a la presencia de elementos racistas, pero también se aprecia una crítica hacia la burguesía por su falta de reciprocidad hacia la clase dominada, así como la reproducción de prácticas como el influyentismo y la subordinación de las mujeres.
An Accelerated Newton–Dinkelbach Method and Its Application to Two Variables per Inequality Systems
Authors: Dadush Daniel , Koh Zhuan Khye , Natura Bento , Végh László A.
Published: December 2022

We present an accelerated or “look-ahead” version of the Newton–Dinkelbach method, a well-known technique for solving fractional and parametric optimization problems. This acceleration halves the Bregman divergence between the current iterate and the optimal solution within every two iterations. Using the Bregman divergence as a potential in conjunction with combinatorial arguments, we obtain strongly polynomial algorithms in three applications domains. (i) For linear fractional combinatorial optimization, we show a convergence bound of [Formula: see text] iterations; the previous best bound was [Formula: see text] by Wang, Yang, and Zhang from 2006. (ii) We obtain a strongly polynomial label-correcting algorithm for solving linear feasibility systems with two variables per inequality (2VPI). For a 2VPI system with n variables and m constraints, our algorithm runs in O(mn) iterations. Every iteration takes O(mn) time for general 2VPI systems and [Formula: see text] time for the special case of deterministic Markov decision processes (DMDPs). This extends and strengthens a previous result by Madani from 2002 that showed a weakly polynomial bound for a variant of the Newton–Dinkelbach method for solving DMDPs. (iii) We give a simplified variant of the parametric submodular function minimization result from 2017 by Goemans, Gupta, and Jaillet.

INNOVATIONS IN SPORT FINANCING IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC
Authors: Asványi Gábor , Hrbek Patrik , Ožvaldová Alexandra , Plavčan Peter
Published: December 2022

Sport is an important social phenomenon that promotes social and cultural values such as peace, respect for human rights, solidarity, and mutual understanding between nations and cultures. At the same time, sport is also an important economic reality. Therefore, the funding of sports is an important priority, and, in addition to the above-discussed benefits, it also brings economic benefits.

WHY NATO-RUSSIA COUNCIL HAS FAILED AFTER 20 YEARS OF EXISTENCE
Authors: Iulian Raluca Iulia
Published: December 2022

At the end of 2021, Russia mobilised over a hundred thousand soldiers along its border with Ukraine constituting a permanent threat to Ukraine and a concern for the West and the whole world. On February 24, 2022, Russia initiated a military intervention in Ukraine. The Kremlin has decided to reconstitute its border lines of the former USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and its spheres of influence in Central and Eastern Europe.

After the end of the Cold War, Russia, a nuclear power, has constantly expressed its desire to have a special status in relation to the North Atlantic Alliance different from that of former communist countries,  members of the Warsaw Pact. The NATO-Russia Council (NRC) is the structure in which Russia had that special and unique relationship with NATO. NRC was established in 2002 to resolve any inconsistencies in the NATO-Russia relations, to facilitate a more flexible dialogue, and understanding between the parties and to open new areas of collaboration. However, it could not change the perceptions created during the Cold War, and most importantly, it could not resolve Russia's place and role in Europe's security issues.

From February 24, 2022, the NRC lost its credibility, the policy of dialogue was no longer relevant and NATO switched to the policy of deterrence and collective defense of the entire Eastern flank of NATO.

The study presents the evolution of relations between NATO and Russia, the phases they went through in the last twenty years since the creation of the NRC and explained the failure of NATO-Russia cooperation in NRC.
NEW DIRECTIONS OF USING MUSIC THERAPY IN SOCIAL WORK
Authors: Mareková Hermína
Published: December 2022

The innovative therapies that have existed for a long time in the field of social work globally are still not used in Slovakia to the extent that their visible benefits could be assessed. It is only at the stage of isolated activities of some enthusiastic social workers. Despite the emerging theoretical considerations about the possibilities of achieving better results in social care, there are some rigid opinions and professional “jealousy” on the part of some disciplines, especially medical, that social work has no competence as therapy. The study focuses on music therapy as a possible therapeutic direction in the social field. Even though it is mainly used in psychotherapy, there is also room for it in social work. The best argument to support this is the time factor because health professionals, psychologists, and psychiatrists can only devote a limited time to their clients, compared to a social worker, who is present all the time in the social services facility, even without waiting. An active or passive relationship with music can give an individual a comprehensive experience; therefore it is used as a therapy. The present study elaborates on the protocol for implementing music therapy in Slovakia. The results from the pilot study revealed that apart from utilisation of stress-relieving music, the knowledge about music therapy is shallow. It led to mapping the present status of music education and possibilities of using it as therapy. The introductory part of such studies requires theoretical preparation, a literature review and theoretical grounding of the topic.

Tujuan dari pengabdian masyarakat (Abmas) ini adalah memberikan layanan pendampingan fasilitasi sertifikasi halal dengan kategori baik pernyataan pelaku usaha (self declare) maupun regular, yang merupakan salah satu cara yang diharapkan mampu mempercepat pemulihan ekonomi di Surabaya. Hal ini tentu sejalan dengan visi pemerintah yang terus berupaya mendorong Indonesia untuk menjadi produsen produk halal dunia. Sertifikasi halal yang semula voluntary (sukarela), kini telah berubah menjadi mandatory (wajib). Pemberlakuan sertifikasi halal tersebut dilakukan secara bertahap yang dimulai dari produk makanan dan minuman pada tanggal 17 Oktober 2019 dan non-pangan dimulai pada tanggal 17 Oktober 2021. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini dibagi menjadi 6 tahapan, yaitu seleksi pelaku usaha mikro dan kecil, seleksi mahasiswa kuliah kerja nyata (KKN), workshop kader penggerak halal, pendampingan penyusunan dokumen manual Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal (SJPH), pendaftaran sertifikasi halal, dan pemberian plakat logo binaan pusat kajian halal Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS). Berdasarkan capaian indikator kesiapan mitra dalam pendaftaran sertifikasi halal dan hasil diskusi dengan tim internal, maka terdapat 11 UMKM yang diberikan rekomendasi dan fasilitasi pendaftaran sertifikasi halal gratis. Adapun 4 UMKM lainnya belum dapat direkomendasikan karena belum memenuhi persyaratan, seperti penggunaan air isi ulang dan daging dari pasar yang belum mempunyai sertifikasi halal.

Favorable prognostic significance of sole trisomy 8 and its associations with additional chromosome aberrations was confirmed in 7 adult and 3 pediatric patients with myelodysplastic syndromes treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The group of comparison included 10 MDS patients with sole monosomy 7 or 5 chromosome and those within complex karyotypes (CK). Cytogenetic investigations were carried out according to standard GTG and multi-colored fluorescence in situ hybridization (mFISH) techniques. Our data revealed significant difference in overall survival (OS) between the tested and control groups (p=0.045) thus being additional argument reinforcing the concept of favorable prognosis of trisomy 8 in HSCT-treated MDS patients. Eight of ten patients (5 with sole trisomy 8 and three with more complex karyotypes) are alive. Of the deceased patients, one had CK trisomy 8 was associated with poor-prognostic monosomy 7. In accordance with experimental findings Sloand et al., 2007, this favorable effect of trisomy 8 in MDS patients might be linked with inhibition of programmed cell death with anti-apoptotic proteins, including myc, which are activated in these cases and needs additional in-depth studies.

Student Confidence in Providing Healthcare to Adults With Intellectual Disability: Implications for Health Profession Curricula
Authors: Golub-Victor Ann C. , Peterson Brianna , Calderón Jessica , Lopes Alexandre Dias , Fitzpatrick Diane F.
Published: December 2022

Self-perceived confidence of health professions students at one university in caring for adults with intellectual disability (ID) was examined via an electronic survey using the Therapy Confidence Scale - Intellectual Disabilities (TCS-ID). A stepwise multiple regression of data collected from 232 completed surveys revealed that prior training and prior experience were predictors of TCS-ID total score. Adults with ID experience healthcare disparities due, in part, to poor provider communication and a lack of confidence. Results from this novel study suggest that opportunities for experiential learning and training with people with ID are important considerations for health professions curricula. Further research is needed for generalizability of results.
