Authors: Memiş Doğan Meryem
Published: April 2024

Medya özellikle de geleneksel medyanın sosyolojik yönü tarihten bugüne oldukça tartışılagelmiştir. Geleneksel medyanın yanı sıra teknolojik gelişmeler ve internet kullanımının yaygınlaşması ile birlikte yeni medyanın da günümüzdeki başat rolü ve etkisi tartışılmaz bir gerçekliktir. Kimlik stereoriplerinin oldukça görünür olduğu medya; cinsiyet temelli kimliklere yönelik tanımlamaları ve bu kimlikler arası ilişkileri yeniden üretmekte ve günümüzde gündelik yaşamın önemli bir parçası haline gelmektedir. Bu çerçevede bu çalışma sermaye ve sınıfsal ilişkilerin şekillendirdiği geleneksel medya içeriklerinin aksine daha özgür bir kamusal alan sunma iddiasında olan yeni medyayı toplumsal cinsiyet yaklaşımları temelinde analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Geniş bir etki alanı bulunan yeni medyanın; yeni bir direniş biçimi olma ve cinsiyetçi kalıp yargıları ve stereotipleri yeniden üretme noktasında iki yönü bulunmaktadır. Türkiye özelinde Tiktok gençler tarafından kullanılan instagramdan sonra gelen ikinci büyük uygulamadır. Bu sebeple bu çalışma örneklem olarak alınan TikTok hesaplarını cinsiyetçi kalıp yargıları çerçevesinde eleştirel olarak analiz etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Amaçlı örneklem yöntemi kullanılan bu çalışmadaki temel motivasyon; özellikle tarihten bugüne edebiyat, sanat, sinema gibi pek çok alanda konu edinilen kadın erkek ilişkileri temalı tiktokerların paylaşımlarını içerik analizi ile açıklayabilmektir. Çalışmanın içeriğinde keskin sınırlar dahilinde verilen kadınlık ve erkekliğe dair; özel ve kamusal alan ayrımı, ekonomik iktidar, ailevi ilişkiler, gündelik yaşamdaki rol ve sorumlulukların cinsiyetçi bir çerçeveden vurgulandığı görülmektedir.

The study compared how the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) financial scandal was framed in English and Chinese online newspapers published in Malaysia. Content analysis was conducted for 200 articles for two English newspapers (The Star, 50; Malaysiakini English, 50) and two Chinese newspapers (Sin Chew Daily, 50; Malaysiakini Chinese, 50). The four newspapers were similar in the reliance on episodic framing and government sources of information, and the valence of the articles. Government sources is the opinion leader in 1MDB events but space is given to the voices of the opposition, foreign entities and the public. The English newspapers and Malaysiakini Chinese have more articles with a positive valence (46%-56%) in favour of investigations to resolve the financial corruption case and about 31% of the articles had a negative valence. However, Sin Chew Daily is more critical of the investigations than the other three newspapers. There are significant differences among the newspapers in frame dimensions of news headlines. The responsibility frame is used in close to 80% of the 1MDB articles in the Chinese newspapers but only in 40%-50% of the 1MDB articles in the English newspapers. Instead the English newspapers highlight the economic consequences of 1MDB and the conflict between individuals and groups, as well as contradictions between rumour and fact. The findings suggest that framing of controversial high-profile financial corruption case may differ due to the readership of the English and Chinese newspapers. Keywords: 1MDB, framing, financial scandal, mainstream newspapers, alternative newspapers.

Published: April 2024

The article explores the manifestations of transparency related to the Russian political management in 2018–2019. A discursive analysis included the media materials covering the decision by Chelyabinsk (the seventh largest city in Russia) regional authorities, without public discussion, to allocate significant funds from the city budget to support HC Traktor. The public discussion of this issue was widely reflected in the media. Civic activists accessed official online documents concerning the participatory financing and initiated an online dialogue with the authorities, disagreeing with their decisions, offering alternatives, and suggesting that internal political management be made more public. The study systematizes various aspects of transparency: openness, availability, clarity, democracy, visibility and accountability. Since new media and social networks play a key role in the interaction between the state authorities and public, the paper considers all the structural elements of modern media communication: addressees, target audience, channels of information, the content and form of publications, their perlocutionary effect. The results of our study proved that communicative success was reached by breaking language standards, polycode information delivery, and storytelling techniques. The perlocutionary effect of this transparent media communication was difficult and deferred. The public dialogue did not satisfy the initial public demand, but it did influence the management practices (further reflected in Russia’s federal legislation) and accompanied changes in the composition of regional elites. Keywords: Transparency, information society, public authorities, tropes, stylistic devices, storytelling.

The research studied the effects of electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM), digital communications, and experience-based marketing on brand trust and repurchase intention in Garuda Indonesia Airlines, the National Flag Carrier of Indonesia. The primary data was collected through an online questionnaire distributed from March 2022 to July 2022. Purposive sampling was used to select passengers who had previously used the services of Garuda Indonesia Airlines. Out of the distributed online questionnaires, 270 respondents met the sampling criteria and responded to the questionnaire. Structural Equation Model (SEM), supported by LISREL software, was employed as the data analysis technique. The results show empirical findings on the significant effects of e-CRM, digital communications, and experience-based marketing on brand trust. The research also reveals that e-CRM and the airline's brand trust have positive and significant effects on repurchase intention. Based on the obtained data, this research provides several valuable managerial implications for Garuda Indonesia, one of the largest airline companies in Indonesia. In general, the research yields four significant implications, including the optimization of Instagram usage, the utilization of social media as an e-CRM tool, experience-based marketing through brand collaboration, and the implementation of thematic campaigns. The other findings indicate that brand trust plays a crucial role in reducing risk and uncertainty. The majority of passengers surveyed in this study expressed that Garuda Indonesia Airlines demonstrates a strong commitment to fulfilling passengers' needs during flights, reflecting a high level of trust in the brand. This positive perception carries significant implications, as it encourages passengers to choose Garuda Indonesia Airlines for future travel. Moreover, it motivates passengers to willingly recommend the airline to their friends and family. Additionally, the research findings reveal that passengers actively seek up-to-date information on flight tickets, programs, events, and schedules. Future research should consider studying low-cost carrier airlines (LCC) using a similar framework, focusing on respondents from Generation Z, to obtain diverse research results and contribute to the scientific research and literature on marketing and communication. Keywords: Airline’s brand trust, digital communications, e-CRM, experience-based marketing, repurchase intention.

Pandemik COVID-19 telah menimbulkan risiko kesihatan yang ketara kepada populasi warga tua dan seterusnya, vaksinasi telah menjadi strategi kesihatan awam yang penting untuk perlindungan mereka. Objektif kajian ini bertujuan untuk memahami pengetahuan sedia ada dalam kalangan warga tua terhadap vaksin COVID-19 dan mengenalpasti kebimbangan komplikasi kesihatan yang dirasakan terhadap vaksin tersebut. Temu bual mendalam telah dijalankan terhadap 15 warga tua yang berumur 60 tahun ke atas di Malaysia, yang mana kajian ini menggunakan persampelan bola salji untuk menganalisis pendapat daripada kumpulan informan yang menepati kriteria. Terdapat lapan tema utama yang terhasil daripada analisis temu bual tersebut iaitu; (i) jenis dan kesan vaksin Pfizer, (ii) jenis dan kesan vaksin Astrazeneca, (iii) jenis dan kesan vaksin Sinovac, (iv) jenis dan kesan vaksin campuran, (v) mengambil vaksin untuk melindungi diri dan keluarga secara terpaksa, (vi) vaksin untuk meningkatkan sistem imuniti, (vii) pengambilan vaksin sebagai pilihan individu, dan, (viii) vaksin cetus komplikasi kesihatan. Dapatan kajian ini menjelaskan bahawa kebanyakan warga tua telah melengkapi kedua dos vaksin lebih awal dalam pelancaran vaksin, apabila mereka memahami fungsi vaksin dalam meningkatkan sistem imun badan dan melindungi mereka daripada dijangkiti wabak COVID-19. Namun, dapatan kajian juga menemukan warga tua yang lebih berhati-hati untuk menerima dos penggalak kedua apabila terdapatnya banyak maklumat salah tular di media sosial serta pengalaman buruk yang dihadapi selepas mengambil vaksin COVID-19. Selain itu, kajian ini mendapati bahawa warga tua mempunyai kebimbangan terhadap komplikasi kesihatan yang mereka percaya boleh meningkatkan risiko jika mengambil dos penggalak vaksin. Justeru itu, adalah amat penting bagi strategi komunikasi masa depan untuk menangani persepsi yang berbeza-beza ini dan menggalakkan keyakinan vaksinasi dikalangan kumpulan sasaran ini.

The Potential Hazards of Fake Accounts and Buzzer Behaviour on Deliberative Democracy
Authors:   Universitas Ahmad Dahlan, Indonesia, Widyatama Rendra , Mahbob Maizatul Haizan ,   Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
Published: April 2024

The most famous political system globally is deliberative democracy, which involves the participatory engagement of free and fair citizens to achieve common interests through discussion-based reasoning and societal consensus. This system places all citizens on an equal footing in expressing their opinions and is a crucial indicator of the quality of deliberative democracy. The dynamics of deliberative democracy are also mirrored in the digital realm and often serve as indicators of public support. However, the digital sphere of democracy faces a severe threat today due to the proliferation of fake accounts and the practice of paying for buzzer behaviour. This phenomenon necessitates stringent regulation to ensure the continued quality and authenticity of deliberative democracy. This research describes the potential dangers of using fake accounts and paying for buzzer behaviour in politics concerning deliberative democracy. The researchers adopted an interpretive phenomenology approach, drawing data from various relevant sources. The research findings reveal that using fake accounts and paying for buzzer behaviour undermine deliberative democracy as they generate false information, manipulate public opinion, and hinder healthy dialogue. Additionally, using fake accounts and buzzer behaviour has severe psychological and social repercussions, including a decline in public trust and an increase in political polarization, all threatening the quality of democratic decision-making. The results of this research carry significant implications for designing relevant regulations to safeguard the agreed-upon and high-quality deliberative democracy, a vital asset of public governance. Keywords: Fake accounts, buzzer behaviour, cyber trooper, deliberative democracy, virality.

The implementation of digital broadcasting policies in Indonesia was marked by the issuance of Law Number 11/2020 concerning Job Creation, which was followed by the migration from analog to digital broadcasting (Analog Switch Off/ASO). The dynamics of digital broadcasting are caused by the tug of war-between the legislative, executive, judiciary, academics, nongovernmental organizations, and the broadcasting media industry itself. What is the policy of digital broadcasting after the implementation of Law Number 11/2020 concerning Job Creation, especially Article 60 A regarding ASO on November 2, 2022? What are the opportunities and challenges that communication-based tertiary institutions have in utilizing digital broadcasting in Indonesia? The paradigm of this research is qualitative. Data collection techniques through observations on digital broadcasting business trends, interviews, and legal studies. As a result, the digital broadcasting policy has been running quite well so far. Although implementation in each field is constrained by various problems: infrastructure, infraculture, human resources, and the extent of territory. Findings found that higher education institutions must be able to take advantage of opportunities for digital broadcasting policies as a means of disseminating information. The latest research results indicate that universities can establish digital television companies or content providers as well as a place for distributing work for college graduates.

The Philippines has a rich tradition of folklore, often portrayed in horror films to reflect cultural anxieties and hegemonic ideologies to circumvent political censorship. Among the most popular horror genres in the country is Aswang. This study examines the depictions of female Aswang in Aswang (2011), Corazon ang Unang Aswang (2012), and Maria Labo (2015) through Barthesian Semiology. Female aswang characters and their narrative exposition were analyzed on a micro, meso, and macro level. In the micro level, the Filipina aswang as a cultural reject tries to resist male chauvinism through her transformation towards her true nature, gaining control over her life, and divergence from the societal norms. On the other hand, she is represented in aswang films as someone who is being boxed with societal prescriptions, depicted as the weaker one, and is governed by her emotion. The meso level discusses how the female aswang is viewed in the context of her community, and how the latter affects her perception of herself and her decisions in life. The three films underscore the expectation on women to be domesticated, and the lead characters portrayed how women respond to these societal standards. Additionally, the macro level investigated how female aswang characters are discursively positioned in relation to socio-cultural struggles in the past and present to uncover their hegemonic constructs on poverty, injustices, mental health, and historical distortion. Keywords: Aswang, horror films, Philippine folklore, semiotics, socio-cultural anxieties.

Information management during the COVID-19 pandemic ranges from personal to institutional level of agencies. This was highly observable at the onset of the national health emergency in the Philippines when most Filipinos who had symptoms did not know what to do. They, as well as their relatives, were in a fearful situation, and so were the government and private agencies involved in health care services. When in need of medical attention, will they tell the truth about their travel history or their exposure to anyone who is infected? The researchers studied the turbulence that occurred when mutually held rules by a community were breached by its members through concealment and gatekeeping during national health emergencies. The study elucidates how the management of private information prevents boundary turbulence and maintains personal relationships, but results in uncontrolled social turbulence during the pandemic. Applicability of the system and principles of Communication Privacy Management Theory such as privacy ownership, privacy control, privacy turbulence, and information stakeholders were studied qualitatively through data generated from nine participants of varying points of view - a) patients and/or relatives who managed their private information; and b) patients, their relatives, and health workers such as doctors, nurses, and medical staff who were adversely affected by such management of private information. Keywords: COVID-19, communication, privacy, ownership, control.

Background. A significant advancement in the treatment of high-grade aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the inclusion of high-dose (1000–5000 mg/m2) methotrexate in the treatment protocol. This approach has significantly increased the long-term survival rate, but it has been associated with toxicity, requiring supportive care. Factors that predict toxicity were identified, including genes involved in the metabolism (MTHFR) or transport (SLCO1B1) of methotrexate. The analysis of methotrexate metabolism has identified additional genes responsible for the elimination of this drug, allowing for more effective prevention and treatment of methotrexate-associated toxicity.

Aim. To study the genetic polymorphisms of enzymes involved in the methotrexate metabolism and associated toxicity in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.

Materials and methods. Data were analyzed in specialized medical databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Frontiers, and Google Scholar from 2001 to 2024.

Results. The main predictors of high-dose methotrexate-associated toxicity are gene polymorphisms in MTHFR, SLCO1B1, ARID5B.

Conclusion. Despite the contradictory data presented in the literature, it is important to consider the detection of polymorphisms during high-dose methotrexate treatment in order to administer timely supportive care and prevent significant toxicity.

Background. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is one of the most important factors for regulation of hematopoietic stem cells differentiation. It is involved in leukemogenesis and central nervous system (CNS) damage in acute leukemia. According to the literature, the VEGFA production by blast cells is increased, but the values of serum concentration and the associations with CNS involvement are contradictory.

Aim. evaluate the VEGFA, VEGFR1, VEGFR2 concentration in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patient with different types of acute leukemia in disease onset and during treatment.

Materials and methods. The concentration of VEGFA in serum and cerebrospinal fluid was studied in 74 primary patients with acute leukemia. The comparison group consisted of 67 healthy donors. VEGFR1, VEGFR2 were studied in serum and cerebrospinal fluid in 34 patients at the onset of the disease. The comparison group consisted of 10 healthy donors. For the analysis, an enzyme immunoassay was used on a semi-automatic Personal Lab analyzer (Adaltis) and Affymetrix eBioscience human VEGF-A Platinum ELISA reagents.

Results. Serum VEGFA concentration was statistically significantly lower in acute leukemia patients than that of donors (median 149.78 and 432.19 pg/ml respectively; p <0.0001). Factor deficiency was significantly more pronounced in patients with blastemia (p <0.015). During antitumor therapy, there was a tendency to increase the amount of the factor in the blood serum. Serum concentration of soluble VEGFR2 was also lower in patients than that of donors (6949.9 and 8795.9 pg/ml respectively; p = 0.0026). For concentration of VEGFR1 such deviations were not found. The concentrations of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in serum were higher than in cerebrospinal fluid (p <0.0001), while VEGFR1 showed a positive correlation between serum and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations. the concentration of VEGFR1 in the cerebrospinal fluid was significantly lower in patients with B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma compared to other types of leukemia.

Conclusion. the concentration of VEGFA in serum decreases in patients with blastemia, this may indicate a lack of secretion and excessive consumption of the factor by blast cells with a decrease in the proportion of leukocytes that normally secrete the factor. In the cerebrospinal fluid, the concentrations of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 are lower than in serum, with the lowest values being found in patients with B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, but no relationship with the development of CNS involvement was found.

Nijmegen syndrome is a rare monogenic pathology with an autosomal recessive type of inheritance. The disease is manifested by congenital developmental anomalies and microcephaly, primary immunodeficiency, frequent recurrent viral and bacterial infections, retardation in physical and neuropsychic development. In the medical literature, 150 cases of the syndrome are described; pathology occurs more often among the Slavic population. Nijmegen syndrome belongs to a group of diseases with chromosomal instability. The pathogenetic feature of the syndrome is congenital immunodeficiency of the humoral (B-lymphocytes) and cellular (T-lymphocytes) components. According to statistics, 40 % of children with Nijmegen syndrome are diagnosed with malignant neoplasms. lymphoid tissue is more often affected (non-Hodgkin’s B and T-cell lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and the development of solid neoplasia is also possible. To diagnose Nijmegen syndrome, in addition to assessing the patient clinical status, it is necessary to conduct an extended immunological examination with the determination of immunoglobulins A, M, G and molecular genetic studies.

The article presents a clinical case of diagnosis and treatment of Nijmegen syndrome in childhood.

With the development of modern next generation sequencing based DNA diagnostic methods, it has become possible to study hereditary predisposition to oncohematological diseases. Germline variants (mutations) of RUNX1, CEBPA, GATA2, ANKRD26, DDX41, FANC- (Fanconi anemia), etc. genes, associated with the development of hereditary hematological malignancies, have been identified. Timely diagnosis of such diseases will allow for medical genetic counseling and testing of the patient’s relatives to identify or exclude the risk of developing the disease, select a donor for the patient (it is undesirable to use a mutation carrier relative as a donor), and personalize the choice of chemotherapy regimens (for example, patients with Fanconi anemia may experience increased sensitivity to chemotherapy). The aim of this review is to present a modern view of the genetic predisposition to the development of hematological malignancies.

The article stipulates that the effectiveness of the prosecutor’s establishment of the circumstances that are the subject of evidence in the pre-trial investigation is possible only if the use of an appropriate set of effective means of obtaining evidence. One such means of obtaining evidence by the prosecutor during the pretrial investigation is covert investigative actions. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the prosecutor’s use as a subject of evidence of covert investigative actions in the pre-trial investigation. Highlight the essential features of investigative action, namely: a) they are measures, ie actions or means to achieve something that have an active nature; b) provided for and regulated by the norms of the CPC; c) is part of procedural actions that have a search-cognitive and certifying nature; d) may be carried out only by authorized entities; e) their course and results are recorded in the relevant procedural documents; e) they are provided by the force of procedural coercion; e) are carried out in order to identify and consolidate factual data and information about their sources in order to obtain evidence in criminal proceedings or to verify this evidence. It is proposed to define the concept of covert investigative (investigative) actions as measures consisting of search and cognitive and identification techniques, information about the fact and methods of which are not subject to disclosure, conducted by the authorized criminal procedural law entity to identify and consolidate factual data and information about their sources for obtaining evidence in criminal proceedings and their verification. It is established that the legal basis for covert investigative actions is, firstly, the relevant articles (provisions) of current criminal procedural legislation governing both the general provisions of covert investigative actions and separately the procedure for relevant investigative actions. Secondly, the legal basis for conducting a covert investigative action is the decision of the investigator, the prosecutor to conduct a covert investigative action, which contains information under Art. 251 of the CPC of Ukraine, or the decision of the investigating judge on permission to conduct a covert investigative action, made on the basis of a request of the investigator, prosecutor (Articles 248, 249 of the CPC of Ukraine). The main reasons for the decision to refuse to grant permission to conduct covert investigative (investigative) actions are outlined.
DIALECTIC OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Authors:   Leonid Yuzkov Khmelnytskyi University of Management and Law, Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine, Khmelevska N.V.
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the dialectics of the development of restorative justice, its essence, significance and consequences for the participants. The advantages of restorative justice over the traditional approach are shown. The most common types of restorative justice and its application in Ukraine are mentioned. The conducted research made it possible to draw conclusions: 1. The traditional system of punishments does not give the expected result in terms of correction of the convict, compensation of damage to the victim and prevention of recidivism of criminal offenses. 2. Restorative justice can solve many more problems than traditional justice. In particular, restoration of the condition of the injured persons, for whom only material or moral compensation in the monetary equivalent is often not enough. The application of restorative justice makes it possible to understand the reasons for committing a criminal offense against them, to hear an apology, to feel safe again and not to be afraid to continue living in society, to receive emotional healing. Also, for the offender, the opportunity to hear the state and emotions of the victim is very important, which in the future performs a preventive function regarding the commission of new criminal offenses. In addition, restorative justice focuses its attention not on the offender and his punishment, but on rehabilitation, which positively affects all participants in the process. 3. Restorative justice is characterized by the fact that it is focused on the victim, is voluntary, expands the possibilities of compensation for damage, elimination of losses, reconciliation between the offender and the victim, provides an opportunity to withdraw the minor from the criminal process and can become a mitigating circumstance. 4. There are various types of restorative justice, which have long been used in foreign countries and have begun to be actively implemented in Ukraine, in particular, in the field of juvenile justice, mediation is provided for juvenile offenders who have committed criminal misdemeanors and minor crimes for the first time. However, an important next step should be to amend the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine regarding the possibility of applying restorative justice in Ukraine. In addition, it is necessary to expand the possibility of conducting mediation for juvenile offenders who have committed more serious crimes.

Chiasm gliomas in pediatric patients. Part 1. Сlinical manifestations
Authors: Serova Natalya K. , Alyaeva Oksana O.
Published: April 2024

Chiasm gliomas are very important heterogeneous group of tumors manifesting in the first and second decades of life and is the second leading cause of blindness in children with neurosurgical pathology. It is a benign, slow-growing piloid astrocytoma, accounting for 1–5% of intracranial gliomas in children. The incidence of neurofibromatosis type 1 among patients with chiasm glioma ranges from 7 to 60%. The location of the tumor is determined based on ophthalmological symptoms, neuroimaging data (MRI), and surgical findings. The initial growth of the tumor occurs in the anterior visual pathway structures (optic nerves, chiasm, optic tracts) and leads to ophthalmological symptoms, which are dominant in the clinical manifestations of the disease. Chiasm damage may occur in one or both optic nerves, in one or both optic tracts. Damage to the chiasm manifests as bitemporal heteronymous hemianopsia. Moreover, the spread of the tumor to the optic nerves is accompanied by decreased visual acuity. Damage to the optic tract is manifested by homonymous hemianopia and normal visual acuity. However, isolated damage to the optic tract is uncommon and usually occurs with chiasm and optic nerve lesions; hence, visual disturbances are more complex. Lesions in the optic nerve fibers in the chiasm and optic nerves/tracts lead to primary descending atrophy of the optic nerves. Papilledema with optic nerve atrophy indicates occlusive hydrocephalus. Delayed diagnosis of the disease affects treatment results.

INTRODUCTION: General anaesthesia for emergent caesarean section, though uncommon, is vital in expediting deliveries. Studies indicate higher complication risks among pregnant migrant women. This research investigates if migrant women in Iceland are more likely to undergo general anaesthesia for emergent caesarean section compared to their Icelandic counterparts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This population-based cohort study analysed 4,415 emergency caesarean sections in Iceland between 2007 and 2018, sourced from the National Birth Registry. Participants were categorized by citizenship, with migrants further stratified by their country's Human Development Index (HDI). NCSP-IS and ICD-10 codes indexed diseases, interventions, and complications. The impact of variables was assessed through multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Migrant women received general anaesthesia in 16.1% of cases, slightly surpassing Icelandic women’s 14.6%. Adjusting for risk factors showed no increased risk for migrant women. However, they had a higher likelihood of urgent caesarean sections (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.08-1.94, p=0.015), a known risk factor for general anaesthesia, despite fewer comorbidities. Adjusting for confounders revealed reduced odds with a history of previous caesarean section (aOR 0.73, 95% CI 0.59-0.89, p=0.003) and placement of epidural anaesthesia in the delivery room (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.40-0.60, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Migrant women in Iceland do not face increased risks of general anaesthesia for emergent caesarean sections. However, their elevated risk of urgent caesarean sections suggests potential challenges, including language barriers or inadequate antenatal care. Early information dissemination and targeted interventions may mitigate these risks in this vulnerable community.

INTRODUCTION: Prepregnancy overweight and obesity is an increasing public health issue worldwide, including Iceland, and has been associated with higher risk of adverse maternal and birth outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate trends in prepregnancy weight amongst women in North Iceland from 2004 to 2022, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in this population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study included all women who gave birth at Akureyri Hospital in North Iceland between 2004 and 2022 (N = 7410). Information on age, parity, height, and prepregnancy weight was obtained from an electronic labour audit database. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from self-reported height and weight, and the median BMI and proportions in each of the six BMI categories were calculated for four time periods. RESULTS: Median BMI increased significantly from 24.5 kg/m2 in 2004-2008 to 26.2 kg/m2 in 2019-2022. On average, BMI increased by 0.15 kg/m2 with each passing year (p<0.001). The prevalence of normal weight decreased from 53% to 40% and the entire BMI distribution shifted towards a higher BMI. The proportion of women in obesity class I (BMI 30.0 – 34.9) increased from 12.8% to 17.3%, the proportion of women in obesity class II (BMI 35.0 – 39.9) doubled (3.7% to 8.1%) and tripled in obesity class III (BMI ≥ 40.0; 1.6% to 4.8%). CONCLUSION: Prepregnancy weight of women in Northern Iceland has gradually increased over the last 19 years and 30% of pregnant women are now classified as obese. Further studies on the subsequent effects on maternal and birth outcomes are needed, with a focus on strategies to decrease adverse effects and reverse this trend.
Research tools for studying modern trends in the implementation of ESG practices in Russian companies
Authors: Tkachenko I. N. , Ramenskaya L. A.
Published: April 2024

Purpose: is to test the research tools for studying modern trends in the implementation of ESG practices and their effectiveness in Russian companies.

   Methods: this article examines the applicability of the research tools for analyzing the activities of organizations in the direction of the ESG agenda. We analyzed such tools as comparative analysis of fi nancing ESG projects, content analysis of report texts, regression analysis of the relationship between the ESG ratings and the fi nancial performance of the company. A comparative analysis of methods was carried out based on the results of appropriation of instruments.

   Results: the main result of the reporting analysis is the identifi cation of a trend towards reducing disclosure of information on the financing of ESG projects. We can identify main areas of investment in requests from external and internal stakeholders based on available financing information. The conclusion about the increase in mentions of social projects and initiatives in the fi eld of environmental protection based on a content analysis results. We also identifi ed the highest priority areas for each of the ESG components. The main priorities are: the social agenda – "employee welfare"; responsible attitude to the environment – "reduction of greenhouse gas emissions", "energy–efficient materials and technologies", "waste management" and "water consumption"; corporate governance – "observance of shareholders' rights". The hypothesis about the positive impact of ESG rating on company value confi rmed. There was a positive relationship between a company's environmental performance and value, as well as a negative relationship between value and social performance.

   Conclusions and Relevance: despite the challenges and sanctions restrictions, Russian companies continue to be active in the ESG field. For a more complete analysis of the ESG projects and their coverage in non-financial reporting, it is preferable to use a combination of research tools.
A study of incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in newborns born to mothers with gestational diabetes
Authors: M. L. Rajith , R. Punyashree
Published: April 2024

Background: Hyaline membrane disease/RDS is an important cause for newborn morbidity and mortality. Many studies have established an association of infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) since decades. Modern lifestyle changes have increased the prevalence of obesity in women and thus diabetes in pregnancy. Maintaining strict euglycemia is a double-edged sword in pregnancy which has been affecting the neonatal health and respiratory maturity in particular which has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity.
Methods: It was a prospective case control study done over a span of one year.
Results: Hyaline membrane disease (RDS) is significantly associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Conclusions: Even our study emphasized the ill effects of gestational diabetes on the respiratory development of baby. Most of the babies are manageable and outcome can be drastically improved by early diagnosis and efficient treatment. Education and anticipation of the complications and prompt referral are the need of the hour in peripheries and advancement of neonatal intensive cares in the referral hospitals is needed.
