Authors: Ельшин Л.А. , Бурганов Р.Т. , Савушкин М.В.
Published: June 2024

обострившиеся в 2022 году санкционные атаки на экономику России, направленные, в том числе, на локализацию импорта современных технологий по целому ряду направлений, существенным образом актуализировали вопрос активизации научно-технологического развития как на макро-, так и на мезоуровне. В этой связи на первый план в современной модели социально-экономического развития регионов выдвигается политика недопущения технологического отставания и связанный с этим коренной пересмотр механизмов интенсификации конкурентоспособного экономического роста в условиях трансформирующейся институциональной среды в рамках коррекции внешнеполитической повестки. С целью актуализации и обоснования определения механизмов государственного планирования и управления научно-технологическим развитием региона в рамках обеспечения устойчивого экономического роста, авторы настоящего исследования поставили следующие основные задачи: - выявить тенденции научно-технологического развития регионов с учетом текущих и перспективных вызовов глобального, национального и регионального уровней (на примере Республики Татарстан); - обосновать и определить основные направления НТР в регионе с учетом сильных и слабых сторон, возможностей и угроз; - актуализировать и обосновать адаптивные и перспективные для Республики Татарстан механизмы стимулирования научно-технологического развития в условиях системных преобразований и открывающихся «окон возможностей».

the sanctions attacks on the Russian economy that intensified in 2022, aimed, among other things, at localizing the import of modern technologies in a number of areas, significantly updated the issue of intensifying scientific and technological development at both the macro and meso levels. In this regard, the policy of preventing technological lag and the associated radical revision of the mechanisms for intensifying competitive economic growth in the context of a transforming institutional environment as part of the correction of the foreign policy agenda come to the fore in the modern model of socio-economic development of regions. In order to update and substantiate the definition of mechanisms for state planning and management of scientific and technological development of the region in the framework of ensuring sustainable economic growth, the authors of this study set the following main tasks: - identify trends in scientific and technological development of regions, taking into account current and future challenges at the global, national and regional levels (using the example of the Republic of Tatarstan); - justify and determine the main directions of scientific and technological progress in the region, taking into account strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats; - update and justify adaptive and promising mechanisms for the Republic of Tatarstan to stimulate scientific and technological development in the context of systemic transformations and opening “windows of opportunity”.

This study examines the economic analysis of pollution control, emphasizing the crucial need to harmonize development with environmental preservation. Through a thorough exploration of pollution's effects and its wide-ranging impacts on human health and ecosystems, this research highlights the pressing requirement for implementing pollution taxes. These taxes serve as pivotal instruments in addressing the externalities caused by pollution, ensuring that genuine environmental costs influence economic decision-making. The study's findings underscore the significant toll of pollution on human well-being, encompassing various health complications and incurring substantial social and healthcare costs. Furthermore, environmental degradation resulting from pollution significantly impacts economic sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and overall productivity. This analysis elucidates the intricate relationship between pollution control, economic growth, and sustainable development. It stresses the necessity of integrating pollution control measures into economic policies to foster a more balanced and resilient development trajectory. The research advocates for a holistic approach that integrates economic incentives, stringent regulations, technological advancements, and community involvement to effectively curb pollution. By emphasizing the role of pollution taxes and acknowledging the true costs of environmental degradation, policymakers can pave the way for a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence between economic progress and environmental preservation.
Congenital Anonychia: Cooks Syndrome Variant or New Disease?
Authors:   Universidad Privada Del Valle, Facultad de Medicina, Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Published: June 2024

Cooks syndrome, which was first reported by Cooks et al in 1985 is characterized by family history of bilateral congenital nail hypoplasia of digits 1,2 and 3, with absence of nails in digits 4, 5, and brachydactyly of the fifth finger of the hands and complete absence of toenails. In addition, there is hypoplasia or absence of distal phalanges of the hands and feet. According to the Office of rare Diseases of the National Institutes of Health, this syndrome is considered as a “rare disease”. We present an 18 month old infant with history of congenital anonychia in digit 2 in both hands and feet and nail hypoplasia in digits 1 and 3 sparing digits 4 and 5. X-ray showed no abnormalities in phalanges, which is possibly a variant of Cooks Syndrome or a new disease with a strong family history of similar deformities involving the mother, grandmother, and sister.

Heat Treatment Optimization and Nitriding Effects on Mechanical Properties of 32CrMoV12-10 Steel
Authors: Demir Fatih , Akın Muhammed Bora , Yartaşı Ahmet
Published: June 2024

32CrMoV12-10 steel is widely utilized in industries where high strength and toughness are crucial. This alloy is commonly used in manufacturing components like gun barrels, gears, and bearings, which demand exceptional mechanical properties. These parts typically undergo heat treatments, including hardening and surface enhancement techniques such as nitriding, to extend their fatigue life significantly. It is crucial to identify optimal heat treatment conditions to achieve desired material performance. In this study, commercial 32CrMoV12-10 steel was selected to investigate the impact of heat treatment parameters (temperature, duration time, and quenching media) on its mechanical properties. To analyse the effect of these parameters, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and the Taguchi Method were employed, facilitating a systematic examination of the process stages and subsequent mechanical testing outcomes, including Charpy V-notch impact, hardness, and tensile strength assessments. An optimal heat treatment protocol was established based on these analyses, and the nitriding depth of the optimally treated sample was examined using a micro-Vickers hardness tester. For comparative analysis, another sample with closely related outcomes was also evaluated. Results indicated that the surface hardness of the optimally treated Sample 10 reached 870 HV, with a core hardness of 417 HV, compared to non-nitrided Sample 3, which showed a surface hardness of 860 HV and a core hardness of 415 HV. Despite the proximity in their values, Sample 10 exhibited slightly higher micro-Vickers hardness than Sample 3. However, while Sample 3 fails to meet the specified tensile stress and hardness criteria, Sample 10, produced through optimization, meets criteria, ranging from 970 to 1040 N/mm², underscoring the efficacy of the optimization process facilitated by TOPSIS. This optimization was notable for its minimal experimental requirements, proving effective in conserving time, energy, and resources while investigating the processed material.

Introduction: Due to the vulnerable position of the eye, eye injuries are very common in horses. Lack of effective and prompt treatment of eye injuries leads to blindness. Most of the trauma to the horse's eye is the blunt type and usually causes more severe injuries than sharp blows. However, in all these cases, at first, acute uveitis with different severities occurred, which requires quick treatment and can have different consequences.
Case report: A two-year-old male Arabian horse with a history of ocular trauma for 4 days to the right eye was referred to the large animal clinic of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University, Iran. All other clinical signs, including temperature, respiratory rate, appetite, and mental state were normal. Ocular examination revealed extensive corneal edema, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) detected by palpation of the globe, blepharospasm, conjunctival hyperemia, miosis, and epiphora. Eye disorder was diagnosed as acute corneal edema and traumatic uveitis. Treatment included administration of flunixin meglumine for three days, atropine eye drops once a day, latanoprost eye drops once a day, gentamicin, and ciprofloxacin eye drops three times daily, and eye wash with saline 0.9% solution twice a day. The treatment continued for 2 weeks and resulted in complete healing which confirmed the diagnosis. The treated horse had a positive response to the therapy and fully recovered within 20 days. No relapse or complications were observed during the final check-up.
Conclusion: Acute uveitis is a common complication following blunt trauma to the eye and is diagnosed by clinical symptoms. Since this situation could have a devastating consequence on vision, immediate diagnosis and treatment are essential to achieve the desired result. The treatment of these patients is symptomatic treatment based on anti-inflammatory, mydriatic, and antibiotics. Depending on the patient's condition, the use of other drugs, such as intraocular pressure reducers may be helpful and essential to prevent or treat complications, including glaucoma.

BPJS Health Obligations in Providing Clinical Teleconsultation Services Performed between Doctor and BPJS’ Patients
By the decree of the minister of health of the Republic of Indonesia HK.01.07/MENKES/4829/2021 on guidelines of telemedicine utilization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Telemedicine provided by doctors in medical teleconsultation form has been widely considered in this pandemic era. This research uses normative legal research. The approach used in this research is applying the law and the conceptual approach. The result showed various legal norms for BPJS healthcare medical teleconsultation in terms of service. However, BPJS healthcare users are said to be burdened by medical teleconsultation fees, which is different from the initial legal norms. Therefore, it can be said that BPJS has done unlawful acts and is an opening chance for BPJS healthcare users to sue BPJS. Therefore, the researcher recommends that the government make rules regarding the clinical teleconsultation system so that it can run according to its function when needed, for example, during the current covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the task of BPJS in organizing national health insurance for all Indonesian people can be realized. In addition, BPJS Health is required to guarantee the legal protection of patients in clinical teleconsultation services so that the rights and obligations of BPJS participants can be fulfilled. If the rights of the BPJS participants are not fulfilled, the BPJS participants can make mediation efforts. If the mediation mechanism cannot be implemented, the settlement can be submitted to the District Court in the area where the participant lives.
Legal Aspect of Handling of Covid-19 Suspected Patients in Health Services in Hospital

Published: June 2024

Hospitals function as quarantine, prevention and control of the Covid-19 Pandemic era. However, the crucial issue is the hospital is lying; patients who have not confirmed Covid-19 but are considered positive by the hospital. This study discusses legal protection for hospitals to care for patients with suspected Covid-19. The research is compiled with the type of normative juridical research; namely, research focused on examining the application of the rules or norms in positive law. The result shows that the hospital as a legal entity (recht person) has risks under Article 58 (1) of the Health Law, namely compensating for errors/omissions of doctors and health workers. According to the Vicarious Liability doctrine, the hospital is legally responsible for all losses caused by its subordinates. According to the Hospital Liability doctrine, the hospital is responsible for taking over the mistakes or omissions of the hospital. With the right of regress, the hospital will ask for compensation back to the doctor who made a mistake. The Strict Liability Doctrine states that the hospital is responsible for the workhouse. The implementation of hospital legal protection has yet to be precise. Supervision and guidance by the government, including the government’s authority on health, still need to be made clear. Medical audits could have gone better. Doctors have the right to obtain legal protection as long as they carry out their duties under professional standards and standard operating procedures under Article 50 of the Medical Practice Act.

Foreshadowing Interstate Rivalries within Regional Organizations: The Gulf Cooperation Council – A Case Study
Authors: Islam A.K.M Iftekharul
Published: June 2024

The six Gulf states founded the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a formal regional alliance, in 1981. The six states that make up the GCC are Oman, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates (The Charter, 2019). Interstate conflicts can substantially hinder diplomatic relations and erode the strong links and ties required to encourage collaboration in a range of disciplines, therefore they surely have a significant impact on any regional organization. The contemporary interstate rivalry in the GCC, particularly between Saudi Arabia and Qatar from 2017 to 2021, is mostly due to political, ideological, and economic factors. A number of studies have been done on the various issues related to the intra-GCC crises, but there is still a need for academic research on the case of the interstate rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Qatar and its impacts. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the causes and nature of the interstate rivalry of the GCC with a concentration on the conflict between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. And finally, some plausible recommendations and policy frameworks have been advocated throughout the discussion.

Cryptocurrencies as a form of payment in electronic commerce
Authors: Savić Marko , Pavlović Nikola , Stanković Aleksandar
Published: June 2024

In recent years, a special type of electronic, i.e. digital currency, which is better known as cryptocurrency, has been developed. The increasing use of cryptocurrencies in the world leads to many new opportunities in the world of electronic commerce, and the formation of a completely new, decentralized payment system. Degree of adoption of cryptocurrencies on a global level varies from country to country. In some more developed countries, cryptocurrencies are slowly becoming a regular system for payment of goods and services, so most sites offer the possibility of paying in cryptocurrencies. In our country, that system has not been much developed yet and there are not many sellers who receive cryptocurrency as compensation for sold goods. The goals of this research study are to examine what opportunities cryptocurrency owners have for exchanging cryptocurrencies for traditional money, what opportunities for purchasing goods and services are available to cryptocurrency owners, and which cryptocurrencies are most widely used in the Republic of Serbia.

Authors: Živković Nikolina , Čakar Uroš , Petrović Aleksandar
Published: June 2024

The total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of wine and fermented pomace (FP) from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested at the stage of full ripeness were evaluated by spectrophotometric analysis. Wine and pomace were obtained after prolonged maceration during spontaneous and inoculated fermentation of fully ripe grapes. Three individual vinifications were inoculated with the following commercial yeasts: BDX (Lallemand, Montréal, QC, Canada), FX10 (Laffort, Bordeaux, France) and Qa23 (Lallemand, Montréal, QC, Canada). For each vinification, maceration lasted 0, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively. The total phenolic content was determined spectrophotometrically using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Two different methods were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the wine and pomace samples: the Ferric Reducing Activity of Plasma (FRAP) and the Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC). The use of a winemaking process that included different maceration times and inoculation with yeasts, as well as spontaneous fermentation, significantly modulated the total phenolic content of the obtained wines and FP. This study could provide a good basis for the practical application and obtaining wines with a high content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties.
Illegal evidence in criminal proceedings: Collecting of evidence by authorized officials of internal affairs bodies
Authors: Živanović Katarina
Published: June 2024

The subject of the research is a theoretical, normative and practical analysis of illegal evidence in Serbian law and judicial practice, with a special emphasis on the manner of behaviour of authorized officials of internal affairs bodies, which during the conducting of evidentiary actions can cause the illegality of the obtained evidence. The goal of the research is reflected in the scientific and practical contribution to the scientific and social community, since in addition to the presentation and analysis of prominent scientific and theoretical concepts represented in domestic and foreign literature, the paper contains a detailed presentation of the results of the analysis of domestic courts decisions, but also the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in terms of violation of the right to a fair trial (Art. 6 of European Convention on Human Rights). The analysis of the aforementioned court decisions is extremely important, bearing in mind that the institute of illegal evidence de facto represents court standards. Namely, through the analysis of ECtHR decisions, it was established that the court assesses the legality of evidence in light of the violation of the right to a fair trial, in terms of the method of obtaining evidence, causes the unfairness of the procedure (as a whole). By analysing the domestic court practise, it was established in which cases the police collected evidence in an illegal manner, that is, in which cases the evidence was collected in a legal manner.

In order to investigate the groundwater potentials of shallow water-bearing layers within the vicinity of the Osun State University Campus at Ikire, fifteen vertical electrical sounding (VES) resistivity data were acquired at random. The groundwater potential of the shallow water-bearing layers was inferred from the resistivity data based on three (3) existing criteria namely aquifer resistivity, transmissivity and reflective coefficient. At each VES station, the maximum electrode spreading employed for the resistivity data acquisition was between 200 m and 240 m, with the interpretation of the data carried out using partial curve-matching and computer iterative software. Geoelectric parameters obtained were used to compute the longitudinal conductance, transverse resistance, hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity and reflective coefficient using empirical relationships. The computed parameters were compared with existing classification tables to deduce the groundwater propensity in the shallow water-bearing layers of the study area. Four to five geoelectric layers corresponding to the HQ, HA and HKA geoelectric curve types were observed having lateritic materials as topsoil, sandy clay/clayey sand, weathered/fractured basement and fresh basement. In most cases, the water-bearing layer is mostly of clayey material with high porosity and low permeability and resistivity values that varies from 14.6 Ωm in VES 1 to 65.6 Ωm in VES 6. A few consist of sandy clay also with low resistivity values 76.9 Ωm in VES 7 to 107.1 Ωm in VES 4. The transmitivity values vary from 0.239 m2/day in VES 2 to 2.522 m2/day in VES 5. This same behavior was observed with reflective coefficient values which range from 0.690 in VES 6 to 0.994 in VES 1. The conclusions from the classification tables correlate in most of the VES stations. This study shows that the groundwater potential of the shallow water-bearing layers in the study area is generally poor within 0 to 80 m depth due to the low transmissivity of the clay materials at the shallow depths. Effective groundwater development in the study area must therefore integrate geophysical methods and remote sensing techniques to investigate depths beyond 100 m.

Urbanization and climate change pose significant challenges to cities worldwide, increasing heat stress issues. Monrovia, Liberia, is currently undergoing rapid urban expansion, which exacerbates the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. Consequently, this raises the risk of heat stress, including adverse health effects and higher energy demands. The objective of this study is to present a comprehensive overview of Monrovia, with a specific focus on addressing/analyzing its urban greening initiatives and evaluating their effectiveness in mitigating the challenges posed by heat stress. A critical Evaluation was also conducted on the existing urban greening initiatives in Monrovia and its effect on land usage. To achieve this, comprehensive analysis methods, such as green infrastructure assessment and examination of satellite imagery, are employed. The data utilized for this study is collected from a comprehensive network centered around a single station, namely Roberts International Airport. This study aims to provide evidence-based insights into the potential of urban greening as a sustainable strategy to mitigate heat stress in tropical urban environments. Additionally, the research aims to offer recommendations for optimizing and implementing urban greening initiatives to enhance Monrovia's resilience against rising temperatures and urbanization.

This Community Service (PKM) has a mission in the form of the development of science, technology and art which is conveyed through educational materials and good practices to the community about the benefits of playing activities for children with ADHD and Autism through Educational Game Equipment (APE) using used goods. This activity aims to provide creativity stimulation and learning strategies for Raudhatul Athfal (RA) teachers in North Jakarta to be skilled in utilizing used items from the surrounding environment as a learning medium for children's play activities. The implementation of PKM research uses a descriptive qualitative method with observation and interview techniques focused on the target of the findings of problems in the RA institution in the North Jakarta area. The workshop activities were designed using participatory strategies and group discussions on how to identify and develop strategies for children with ADHD and Autism in carrying out play activities using APE from used items.  The output product of PKM that has been implemented is in the form of a pocket book from a North Jakarta RA teacher who has succeeded in modifying the APE design from used goods. It is hoped that this activity can provide benefits to stimulate teachers' creativity and improve the quality of education for early childhood in accordance with the conditions of children's growth and development.
Kermesse in Výrovice (District of Znojmo). The Current Condition of a Customary Tradition in the South-Moravian Village

Published: June 2024

Výrovice, a small village near the city of Znojmo (South Moravia), is almost unknown in ethnological literature. The whole treatise is based solely on recent field research. The local kermesse, long overlooked, is much more interesting than it seems. For example, the institution of a master of ceremonies, called a družba/best man, and the custom of introducing under the maypole have been safeguarded here. Despite that the kermesse began to decline shortly after the year 1990, and it was married men joined by local children who had to rescue the custom on several occasions. These efforts led to an idea of restoring the disappeared folk costume of Výrovice, which was successfully found and its modern stylised version was created. In 2018, the first set of folk costumes was made for a couple, one year later other three ensembles were made. The efforts of the local people did not fall on deaf ears, and the disappearance of the Výrovice kermesse was staved off.

Este artigo busca problematizar os modos de funcionamento da inserção social no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação e Ensino de Ciências na Amazônia (PPGEEC). Ao se ocupar da inserção social como parte do processo de avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação, é elucidativo analisar os discursos que estão sendo constituídos como entendimento de inserção social e os seus desdobramentos para a educação básica na Amazônia. O corpus de análise é constituído pelos documentos da inserção social elaborado pelos mestrandos no período de 2019-2023. Alinhamo-nos à análise do discurso em Michel Foucault, especialmente à ferramenta do discurso e enunciado. Nessa trama discursiva, emerge o enunciado como ideia de inserção social regional do PPGEEC como impacto social na Amazônia, a qual dá visibilidade para os efeitos das ações desenvolvidas (discurso científico) para a educação básica em nosso território. Para além do mapeamento das atividades desenvolvidas, o enunciado trata de problematizar a capacidade de um programa explicitar a forma como articula em seu âmbito a contínua modificação do conhecimento, a formação de profissionais e as demandas de transformação social que se apoiam a uma ideia de Amazônia vinculada a elementos naturais e problemas ambientais, bem como refletida na sua exuberância física.

Published: June 2024

Digitalization has brought about a fundamental shift in the way politics is conducted, whether by the government, political parties, or the general public. The digital age has changed political communication with increasingly sophisticated information and communication technologies. After two decades, the internet has changed many aspects of human life, including democracy. Since the introduction of the internet to Indonesia in the 1990s, a new phenomenon known as online political communication has emerged. has changed the conventional approach to political communication that has been distorted by conventional media. One of this article's goals is to provide a theoretical and practical discussion of this problem. This article discusses in a theoretical manner how the internet has changed the theory of classical political communication; how new internet features can improve political communication in terms of quantity and quality; and what problems might arise throughout this process. In the future, political communication may not always rely on digital media, such as the Internet, which has potential for use in political communication processes.
