Educational Interventions for Medical Students to Improve Pharmacological Knowledge and Prescribing Skills: A Scoping Review
Authors: Shi Weiwei , Qin Helen , Vaughan Brett , Ng Louisa
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Medication-related errors place a heavy financial burden on healthcare systems worldwide, and mistakes are most likely to occur at the stage of prescribing. Junior doctors are more likely to make prescribing errors, and medical graduates also lack confidence and preparedness towards prescribing. Thus, this review aimed to evaluate the existing educational approaches to improve pharmacological knowledge and prescribing skills among medical students. Methods: CENTRAL, CINAHL, ERIC, Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched with keywords related to “pharmacological knowledge”, “prescribing skills”, “educational interventions” for articles published since 2016. Results: 3595 records were identified, and 115 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Eighty full-text articles were eligible and included in this review. Thirty-seven studies focused on improving prescribing skills, whilst 43 targeted pharmacological knowledge. A broad range of interventions was implemented, including e-learning, case-based, interprofessional, and experiential learning. Pharmacological knowledge and prescribing skills were measured in various ways, and all studies reported one or more positive findings at Kirkpatrick level 1 or 2. No study reported outcomes at Kirkpatrick levels 3 and 4. Discussion: The World Health Organisation’s Good Guide to Prescribing was the foundation of the development of prescribing educational interventions. Emerging interventions such as experiential and interprofessional learning should be incorporated into the prescribing curriculum. Innovative approaches such as game-based learning can be considered for clinical pharmacology teaching. However, there was a lack of outcomes at Kirkpatrick levels 3 and 4. Robust methodology and reliable outcome measures are also needed in future studies.
The impact of population ageing on the labour force participation rate in Spain
Authors: Cuadrado Pilar , Manuel Montero José , Fernández Cerezo Alejandro , Rodríguez Francisco José
Published: August 2023

Rationale

Population ageing is one of the greatest structural challenges facing the Spanish economy. Foremost among its multiple effects is its contractionary impact on labour supply, which will foreseeably have major implications on both the functioning of the labour market and the potential growth or sustainability of public finances.

Takeaways

•Population ageing over the past decade has had an estimated negative impact of around 3.4 percentage points (pp) on Spain’s participation rate in 2022. This impact has been uneven by regions, with a sharper fall in the Cantabrian regions (Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country).

•According to the latest National Statistics Institute’s population projections, the participation rate is set to drop a further 2.8 pp by 2030 owing to the continuing ageing process. Excluding the support of net immigration flows, the drop would be 1.6 pp greater.

•In addition, the impact of ageing may deepen regional divergences, since the regions that have an older population and lower GDP per capita may be expected to experience the sharpest falls in the participation rate.

Published: August 2023

Delivering ideas to others involves speaking in a significant way. Information exchange amongst language users is facilitated by this. However, many EFL students had difficulties when they tried to practice speaking. During the delivery, they stutter and become stuck. Ten freshmen attend the therapy to address these faults. It modifies YouTube content to enhance students' speaking abilities. To understand how to create sentences, the session began by using lexicogrammar. The instructor requested that the student study and retell a grammar video from YouTube in order to improve understanding. The students watched a vocabulary film on YouTube and then learnt and repeated the topic to increase their vocabulary. They then studied and repeated the information from a YouTube video that described the image. The teacher invited the students to describe photos using both written and spoken language in order to observe the students' growth in their vocabulary, grammar, and speaking abilities. The instructor provided feedback in the most recent class. The information gathered during the procedure was qualitatively examined. The study's findings led to an improvement in the students' speaking abilities by helping them with their grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. This kind of discovery could be used by teachers to teach the pertinent subjects. Additionally, it motivates additional researchers to study relevant topics.
Trending Technologies: A Corpus-based Genre Analysis of Abstracts on ChatGPT
Authors: Bonsu Emmanuel Mensah , Adusei Dorah Kwakyewaa
Published: August 2023

Genre studies have dominated academic contexts, with a particular focus on research article abstracts. Such studies have focused on single and cross-discipline discourse practices, rather than how different disciplines address a common subject based on its communicative purpose. Against this backdrop, this study conducted a corpus-based genre analysis of RA abstracts on ChatGPT. Synergising ESP textual analysis, and corpus-based analysis, the study analysed 72 abstracts. The analyses revealed the ‘Product’ and ‘Purpose’ moves were the most frequent in the abstracts. The ‘Product’ move was afforded much textual space. Concerning the lexicogrammatical features, chatgpt was typified in all the abstracts, occurring frequently at the ‘Introduction’ and ‘Purpose’ moves. Furthermore, the potential and use of ChatGPT, as well as its educational implications, were themes developed from the lexicogrammatical characteristics. Based on these findings, the study provides recommendations for practice and further research.

Authors: Arthur Rebecca , Fenyi Daniel Arkoh
Published: August 2023

Extant literature confirms that the delay and non-completion of the thesis component of postgraduate studies remain a bane of postgraduate education. With the current spate of interest and enrolment into postgraduate studies in Ghana, and globally, it has become imperative to investigate the phenomenon and spotlight the contributing factors to the delay and non-completion of thesis so that students, supervisors, postgraduate faculties and departments, and all relevant stakeholders could pull efforts together to mitigate it. Through the purposive sampling method, the study recruited ten postgraduate students who have had varied experiences with thesis writing and are at different stages of completion. The data collection instrument was semi-structured interview. The conceptual framework adopted for the study was the Jiranck Dissertation Research Completion model (2010) and the data were analysed using the thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that three factors contribute to the delay and non-completion of thesis. These are; student-related factors, supervisor-related factors and institution-related factors. Based on the findings, it was recommended that postgraduate research institutions should design and develop plans and strategies to help their students complete the thesis within the stipulated period.
Responsabilidade civil pela perda da chance: uma questão de dano ou de causalidade?
Authors: Tepedino Gustavo , Oliva Milena Donato , Costa André Brandao Nery
Published: August 2023

O presente estudo pretende avaliar as repercussões jurídicas da perda de uma chance em razão da preclusão da possibilidade de conseguir resultado favorável futuro e incerto no âmbito de processo aleatório em curso, sobretudo o seu enquadramento nos pressupostos da responsabilidade civil: no dano, no nexo causal ou mesmo em ambos. A partir da análise da chance à luz das exigências do ordenamento brasileiro para a configuração da responsabilidade civil – a certeza do dano e a necessariedade do nexo de causalidade –, concluiu o artigo que a chance, embora marcada pela incerteza, pode consubstanciar o ponto de referência objetivo de interesse econômico ou existencial, cuja perda poderá configurar dano ressarcível, desde que preenchidos os pressupostos da responsabilidade civil, entre os quais a certeza do dano. Por meio de pesquisa jurisprudencial e bibliográfica em doutrina brasileira, portuguesa, italiana e francesa, o artigo defende não haver diferenciação relevante entre chances futuras e passadas, haja vista que ambas enfrentam os mesmos problemas e demandam solução jurídica unitária. A distinção estrutural existente (responsabilidade civil por ação ou por omissão) não interfere na qualificação da perda da chance nem na identificação de interesse consubstanciado na chance. Em ambas as hipóteses, o resultado afigura-se desconhecido em qualquer caso de perda da chance, tenha ele fundamento em falha omissiva (chance pretérita) ou comissiva (chance futura).
Impact of Pre-Sowing Physical Treatments on The Seed Germination Behaviour of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)
Authors:   Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, The University of Faisalabad, Faisalabad-38000, Pakistan, Hassan Sadia
Published: August 2023

In the emerging global food scenario, sorghum is a healthy cereal crop used by human beings and has been recognized to have considerable potential to be used in a variety of food products. Germination is a natural processing technique used for the biological activation of grains to improve their nutritional and functional properties. In order to improve the germination of grains, different techniques have been established; therefore, the current study was conducted to analyze the effect of ultrasound and microwave techniques on sorghum grain germination parameters. Overnight steeped sorghum grains were divided into four groups. The first group was not subjected to any treatment. The second group was subjected to ultrasonic treatment, the third group was exposed to microwave treatment, and the fourth group was treated with combined MW & US applications for different intervals. Germinated grains were measured for the shoot length and root length, total weight, germination %, seedling vigor index, and the ratio of root length versus shoot length. It was found that ultrasound-processed treatment US1 (40% amplitude for 5 min) and microwave-processed treatment MW2 (700 W for 5 sec) significantly improved the germination parameters. Pre-sowing physical techniques cause disturbance of the seed coat, which enabled water diffusion into the seeds inducing a higher rate of enzymatic reactions, and the start of the initial development stages consequently resulted in faster and more effective germination.

For decades, the surging demand for agricultural produce to alleviate hunger has spurred extensive research into novel and sustainable agricultural practices. Given the detrimental environmental impact of some contemporary agricultural methods, this paper underscores the potential of microbial inoculants as environmentally friendly tools for achieving sustainable agriculture. This narrative review evaluates the use of microbial inoculants in various agricultural practices such as monocropping, crop rotation, and intercropping, contrasts their effectiveness to synthetic agricultural compounds, and highlights potential limitations and strategies for their mitigation. The review reveals that microbial inoculants, as renewable, eco-friendly, crop-supportive, and cost-effective alternatives to synthetic agricultural compounds, hold immense promise for sustainable agriculture. The study concludes with a call for greater emphasis on the use of microbial inoculants, encouraging their broader adoption by farmers to promote sustainability in agriculture.

The study is aimed at ascertaining perception and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among nurses and midwives in Rivers State Tertiary Hospitals. The cross-sectional survey design was used for the study. Among a population of 800 nurses and midwives at Rivers State Tertiary Hospitals, 241 were chosen as the sample size. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data. Simple percentage and charts were used to answer the research questions. The finding of the study revealed that 74.3% of the nurses and midwives have the perception that COVID-19 vaccine is safe, 74.3% were willing to take Covid-19 vaccine. The study, therefore, concluded that nurses and midwives were willing to be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Hence the study recommends that the vaccine should be made available so that those who are willing can get vaccinated and that religious organisations should ensure they encourage their member to take the vaccine.
Co-administration of metformin and vitamin C or E in improves diabetes prognosis in streptozotocin-induced diabetes rats
Authors: Uchendu Adaeze , Omogbai Eric
Published: August 2023

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased astronomically in recent years. This has resulted in increased disease adjusted life years (DALYs), mortality and decrease in life expectancy. Some of the fall outs of diabetic disease in patients include hyperlipidaemia, oxidative stress, renal and hepatic dysfunction. This study investigated the combined effects of metformin with either vitamin C or E on hyperglycemia-induced hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress, renal and hepatic dysfunction.
Diabetes mellitus was induced in the animals fasted overnight with a single dose of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). Animals with fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels  >200 mg/dl after 48 hours of streptozotocin administration were marked diabetic and were randomly grouped into 6 groups of 5 diabetic rats each. Treatments were administered orally once daily for two weeks. FBG levels, and other parameters were determined.
The results showed that the various treatments significantly and comparably reduced the FBG levels on both day 7 (p<0.05, P<0.01) and day 14 (p<0.001). All the treatments significantly reduced hyperglycemia-induced increase in the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine and malondialdehyde (MDA). The antioxidant enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GSH), and catalase (CAT) was enhanced by the combined effects of metformin and vitamin C or E. Vitamin E and combination of metformin and vitamin E did not prevent diabetes induced-weight loss throughout the study compared to diabetic control.
The findings have demonstrated that metformin and vitamin C co-administration exhibits synergistic effects on blood glucose lowering effect, antioxidant activity and potential advantage of preventing multi-organ damaging effects of type 2 diabetes.

Authors: kayaokay kemal
Published: August 2023

Objective: This study evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of scaphocapitate fusion (SCF) performed after lunate excision in patients with advanced Stage III Kienbock's disease.
Materials and method: Eleven patients diagnosed with Stage 3 Kienbock's disease who underwent SCF following lunate excision retrospectively evaluated in this study. The scores of arm, shoulder and hand disability (DASH) and Visual Analogue Scores (VAS) recorded preoperatively were also recorded at the final follow-ups after surgery. Wrist ROM (flexion, extension, radial, ulnar) was measured using a goniometer in the operated and contralateral wrists. Grip, tip pinch, key pinch forces and palmar grip were measured using a Jamar dynamometer and pinch gauge (Model SH 5005, South Korea).
Results: The study included a total of eleven patients including six female and five male patients. The mean follow-up period was 63.45 months (range 24-86). According to the functional evaluation, the mean preoperative and postoperative Visual Analog Scores (VAS) were 8.45 (range 7-10) and 1.18 (range 0-3), respectively. The mean disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score was reduced from 52.27 (range 36.40-70) to 16.51 (4.5-47.7) between the preoperative and postoperative periods. According to the evaluation of joint range of motion, the mean range of flexion was 72.9%, the mean range of extension was 84.9%, the mean radial deviation range was 57.35% and the mean ulnar deviation range was 82.46% in the operated hands compared to the contralateral wrist. While wrist flexion and extension ranges exhibited a statistically significant increase, radial deviation exhibited a statistically significant decrease compared to the preoperative period (p<0.05).
Conclusion: SCF after lunate excision is a successful surgical method that provides pain relief and increases joint range of motion by maintaining acceptable range of motion in the medium-long term.

Published: August 2023

Background: Small doses of local anaesthetic are injected into the CSF fluid in the subarachnoid region to produce spinal anaesthesia (SA).
Aim: This paper was contributed to study the effect of fluid preloading on the incidence of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia.
Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 45 patients in different hospitals in Iraq for a study that ranged from the 15th of June in the year 2021 to the 24th of August in the year 2022. This paper dealt with the study of the effect of fluid preload on the incidence of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia, as it included in the clinical characteristics’ tests related to mothers or women who underwent caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia. This study divided the collected data into two groups, one of which was the patient group, which included patients who underwent spinal anaesthesia, which this group is considered as the co-loading group, which included 23 patients out of the total number of patients' data collected, while it was represented by the preload group, which included women who underwent spinal anaesthesia, which included 22 patients out of the total number of patients. This paper was conducting and analysing the collected data by SPSS.
Discussion: The difference was that when their systolic blood pressure fell to 90 mm Hg, they began using a vasopressor heavily. The current finding found the Apgar score of the co-load who patients group (8.91) was found higher that preload who control group (8.95%) within 5 min in compare 1 min. In the present analysis, there was also a statistically significant variation between the co-load (81.4%) and pre-load (45.3%) groups in terms of the incidence of hypotension. The incidence of hypotension was statistically significantly different between the preload (80%) as well as co-load (51%) groups, according to research through (Oh AY et al., 2014). Both trials revealed that the co-load group's blood pressure dramatically decreased.
Conclusion: This study found that (45.3%) were within the preload group as a control group and (81.4%) in the co-load group as patients group had hypotension. Preloading was, therefore, more effective than co-loading in preventing spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension of cesarean section moms. It may not be essential to postpone surgery to provide a preload of liquids.

Published: August 2023

With the invasion of russian troops on the territory of Ukraine, the NBU faced the task of preventing the depreciation of the national currency, avoiding panic, and ensuring the stability of the banking system. This was achieved, in particular, due to anti-crisis monetary measures. The regulator was promptly making the necessary decisions, the review of which and the assessment of their effectiveness in the paradigm of the economy of war this study is devoted to. The set of tools of anti-crisis monetary management, prerequisites, factors and features of their application in the conditions of a full-scale military invasion are reviewed. A comparative-dynamic analysis of the main monetary indicators was conducted, which showed their manageability and relative stability. It’s proved that the main inflationary trend in Ukraine is characterized by uncertainty, formed under the influence of non-monetary factors of a subjective nature, which are outside the influence of monetary policy. These and other non-market factors provoked a reduction in international reserves and instability in the foreign exchange market. NBU reacted by introducing pre-emptive currency restrictions. It was determined that in order to avoid panic in the foreign exchange market, the NBU made such important and prompt decisions as fixing the exchange rate, introducing the necessary restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency and cross-border currency transactions, restricting withdrawal of funds from foreign currency accounts, providing the possibility of exchanging cash hryvnias abroad. To avoid uncontrolled devaluation and capital outflow, the NBU supported the foreign exchange market with interventions. Anti-crisis measures aimed at maintaining the liquidity of the banking system were analysed, including operations with certificates of deposit and government bonds, which in the conditions of martial law don't always achieve the goals of ensuring financial stability. These and other measures helped the regulator maintain the banking system's overall stability and uninterrupted operation.

Мета дослідження полягає в розробці концепції модернізації національної облікової політики з урахуванням глобальних тенденцій та сучасних технологічних досягнень цифрової економіки, що відбувається в контексті парадигми Accounting 4.0 (Industry 4.0). У дослідженні використані такі методи: аналітичний (аналіз та збирання даних предметної області), документальний аналіз (дослідженні нормативних вимог до організації предметної області), експертний (вивчення висновків провідних фахівців щодо досліджуваних аспектів), наукометричний (дослідження рівня наукового супроводу предметної області), компаративний аналіз (корелятивне порівняння експертних та наукових висновків), метод синтезу (формування концепції модернізації національної облікової політики). Оптимальна номенклатура засобів цифрової трансформації національної облікової політики визначена за результатами компаративного аналізу експертної та наукометричної оцінки є синергетичною з урахуванням відмінностей кожного зі загаданих методів оцінки. Результати дослідження вказують на те, що модернізація національної облікової політики може бути досягнута за допомогою впровадження таких цифрових засобів: Cloud Computing, Blockchain Technology, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) та Internet of Things (IoT). Використання цих технологій дозволить забезпечити гнучкість, безпеку, ефективну обробку великого обсягу даних, автоматизацію процесів, підвищену точність і прозорість в обліковій звітності та поліпшення ухвалення рішень. Незважаючи на те, що наразі українська бухгалтерська справа перебуває на стадії імплементації міжнародної системи обміну фінансової інформації (адаптованої до локальних умов) ‒ UA МСФЗ XBRL, відсутні дослідження щодо інструментального супроводу національної системи обліку та аудиту. Упровадження концепції модернізації національної облікової політики згідно з парадигмою Accounting 4.0 (Industry 4.0) має потенціал покращити ефективність та якість обліку й аудиту, сприяти розвиткові цифрової економіки та підвищенню конкурентоспроможності країни на міжнародній арені. Це досягається за допомогою впровадження сучасних цифрових технологій, які забезпечують автоматизацію процесів, покращену аналітику даних та надійність і прозорість у сфері обліку й аудиту. Такі зміни сприятимуть підвищенню продуктивності, зниженню ризиків та зміцненню довіри до фінансової звітності.

Published: August 2023

Real practice and challenges that are formed in the process of modern social transformations under the influence of instability encourage to conduct an active search for a theoretical and methodological platform, based on which retail can achieve in the practice of strategic management retail turnover of adequacy to challenges of stress factors. The article is aimed at carrying out a statistical test of the assumption about the random walk of the retail turnover volume of retail in Ukraine. Economic and statistical methods of analysis and forecasting, methods of logical generalization and mathematical abstraction were used to perform the scientific research. Results of a statistical test of the assumption about the random walk of the turnover volume of retail enterprises in Ukraine confirmed the hypothesis that the aggregate activity of retail enterprises in Ukraine is a random process that does not have regularities (trends). It is substantiated that in the conditions of an unstable external environment, the forecasting of retail turnover should be based on a powerful analysis of the formation of consumer demand for individual goods factors, based on the study of the patterns of change and forecasting of factor indicators, as well as be carried out according to the composition and structure of the turnover with a further summary of its total volume. The confirmation of the hypothesis about the random walk of the turnover volume of retail enterprises in conditions of instability and global fluctuations, which was the basis of the conducted research, made it possible to deny the traditional approach to forecasting, namely the deterministic forecast. For practical application, an approach to forecasting the turnover based on the assessment of the limits (minimum and maximum possible value) with a given reliability for the current perspective is proposed, which ensures the relevance of predictive calculations.

INTRODUÇÃO: A cirurgia de fissuras labiopalatinas, ocorre em decorrência da malformação congênita associada a alterações fisiológicas dos lábios, palato e maxilares, tendo diferentes tipos de gravidades e extensões. Sendo assim, essa intervenção é utilizada para solucionar a má formação e com isso, devolver dignidade e promover uma melhor condição no cotidiano. OBJETIVO: Logo, teve como objetivo abordar, interpretar, avaliar e apresentar conjuntos de informações acerca da clínica e como a cirurgia reflete socialmente para os pacientes portadores de tal comorbidade. METODOLOGIA: Para tanto, trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão literária na qual foram avaliados artigos entre os anos de 2010 a 2022, na base de dados Google Acadêmico e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), nos idiomas inglês e português.  RESULTADOS: Foi observado, ao longo do estudo, que os pacientes possuem dificuldade de ingestão de alimentos, distúrbios respiratórios, alteração na fala e audição e infecções crônicas. Sendo assim, o procedimento intraoperatório possui funcionalidades, como: devolver a funcionalidade do local, promover a permeabilidade das vias aéreas, melhorar a função mastigatória e promover o desenvolvimento psicossocial destes pacientes. Além disso, é notório a relação com a estética, a qual está relacionada com a autoestima, levando em muitos casos a um quadro depressivo. CONCLUSÃO: Por fim, este estudo demonstrou que os procedimentos cirúrgicos são alternativas essenciais para a correção das fissuras labiopalatinas, visto que os pacientes possuem dificuldades em se adaptarem ao convívio familiar e escolar, devido a alteração fisiológica e estética, promovida pela má formação da fenda palato labial.

Objective: This work proposes a model to implement digital transformation (DT) projects in companies. Material and Methods: The model's proposition was done by conducting individual interviews and focus group research on understanding and exploring the theme. Personal interviews were conducted with 15 professionals and focus groups with nine experts that experienced the DT process in their organizations. Based on these interviews, a preliminary model was proposed and validated in interviews with focus groups. All interviews took place in the same period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research instrument explored aspects of strategy, competencies, digital technologies, and project management to determine how the DT process occurs and to define the final model. Results: Proposition of a model to operationalize DT projects following the organization's strategic direction. The model proposes that competencies enable change, using digital technologies as tools, and project management supports the project's strategy in line with the organizational strategy. The focus groups contributed to validating the model and proposing changes and improvements in the evaluation process in the model phases. The assessments were changed to occur recursively in the steps, allowing them to be evaluated throughout the project's life cycle to align with the project's and the organization's strategic assumptions. Contributions: The study presents a model to help companies of all sizes and activities to operationalize their DT projects. As a suggestion for future research, the proposed model can be used to develop and recommend new theories and develop models that meet the rapid transformations that occur in organizations.

A empresa, objeto deste estudo, caracterizada pela atividade de fabricação de isolamentos térmicos e acústicos, com base de lã de rocha. Fundada ao final do ano de 2019, a empresa é a quarta do segmento no Brasil e a primeira na região Sul, localizada na cidade de Guarapuava no Paraná. Ao analisar a necessidade da empresa em ter um setor específico para concentrar as informações da organização, propôs-se a implementação do setor de Controladoria, para que pudesse suprir essa necessidade da empresa estudada. A intervenção foi realizada com base no plano de ação, e teve como apoio os Passos para Implementação do Setor de Controladoria de Oliveira (2009) e o Roteiro de Implantação do Setor de Controladoria de Lorenzetti (2013). Sendo as etapas: 1ª Elaboração do Diagnostico da empresa; 2ª Escolha do Modelo Conceitual de Controladoria; 3ª Processo de implementação do Setor de Controladoria; 4ª Alimentação do sistema. Conclui-se que, se a empresa continuar seguindo as práticas que foram implementadas, visando o contínuo treinamento dos setores, bem como dos gestores, conseguirá estabelecer uma forte cultura organizacional, voltada ao setor de Controladoria e suas informações.
CONSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY AND WHERE TO FIND IT
Authors: TROITSKAYA ALEXANDRA A.
Published: August 2023

The category of constitutional identity is now con dently used in the science of constitutional law and in resolving some disputes, but it remains not completely clear. The article is aimed at identifying the content of this category and the possibility of its application in practice. The article presents the meanings of the term “identity” and checks whether this term can be used in constitutional law, and if so, in what sense. Possible ways of nding the features of constitutional identity in the texts of constitutions (in preambles, among the foundations of the constitutional system, or provisions protected from change) are shown. The nal conclusions concern the limits of the application of constitutional identity in constitutional disputes. It seems that constitutional identity can be used to resolve constitutional con icts only if two conditions are met: xing the features of constitutional identity, de ned precisely as such (1), and carried out previously, not at the time of the decision, but in advance (2). It is these two conditions that will provide the necessary predictability and validity of decisions, in the adoption of which the category of constitutional identity was used for argumentation. Otherwise (if these conditions are not observed for whatever reason), the constitutional review body should, as far as possible, avoid using the category “constitutional identity” as an argument in resolving disputes.
THE PRACTICE OF DETERMINING THE AGE OF FALLOW BASED ON THE PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT OF POSTAGROGENIC SUCCESSION

One of the tasks set when establishing the fact of inappropriate use of agricultural land in the framework of law enforcement practice is to determine the period of non-use of land for agricultural purposes. As the most accessible methods that can be used to determine the age of a fallow in the absence of documented data on the history of the land plot and aerial and space survey materials is the study of the vegetation cover formed on the studied sites during the postagrogenic succession and the transformation of the arable horizon.In the course of a study conducted on the territory of agricultural lands located within the Kurgan region, it was found that the exact determination of the period of non-use of land is possible using dendrochronology methods in the presence of trees on the site. In addition, the study of the species composition of grassy vegetation allowed us to identify a number of communities belonging to the successive stages of development of postagrogenic succession: weedy, the stage of rhizomatous cereals, the stage of transition from rhizomatous to loose-turf cereal grasses, how-ever, it is not possible to accurately determine the duration of these stages. At the same time, a comparative analysis of the species composition of various areas of grassy vegetation, as well as the thickness and composition of the sod, allows us to establish the similarity of two or more sites, one of which has woody vegetation, which is a marker of the age of the fallow and in neighboring areas. Th us, the main feature that allows you to determine the age of a fallow on the land plot is the age of the existing woody vegetation. As an additional feature that allows determining a single contour of a deposit of a certain age, the species composition of the herbaceous biocenosis, the degree of development and the composition of the sod can be used.

Domestic animals like sheep, goat and pig are subjected to many chronic stressful conditions regularly. The stressors include handling, transportation, cold, heat, temperament, diseases, parasites and introduction to a new group. Irrespective of the etiology, stress decreases the normal wellbeing and productivity of the animal. Farm animals attempt to deal with these stressors through behavioural and physiological adaptations aimed at restoring homeostasis. When these responses fail, common signs of persistent stress arise. As the symptoms of stress are unidentifiable by the farmers, there can be a significant deterioration in quality and quantity of meat produced. The increasing need for food due to population growth and urbanization has to be met through proper health managementof farm animals. More research is needed to alleviate stress in farm animals and improve product quality and yield. This review paper aims to emphasize on stress factors in farm animals like sheep, goat and pig, and their impact on productivity and meat quality. With a greater understanding of stressors, altered physiological mechanisms, stress adaptability, it would be possible to implement methodologies for stress mitigation in farm animals.
