The purpose of this study is to reflect on the socio-geographical factors of the formation of Ukraine’s urban network in 1897–2022 and the changes that led to its structural and quantitative transformations. The article reflects the most important factors that had an impact on the urban network in the historical framework of the inter-census periods 1897–1926–1939; 1939–1959–1970; 1970–1979; 1979–1989, 1989–2001, and 2001–2022. Such important historical events as the industrial revolution in Europe, wars and famine, the rapid development of natural resources, administrative and territorial reforms, urbanization, and militarization of the economy are highlighted. The impact of mass resettlement, the construction of hydroelectric power plants and large enterprises, the development of the transport network, and migrations are reflected. The influence of the USSR’s collapse, the construction policy of the ‘factory-city’ principle, and the Chornobyl disaster are shown up. The article pays attention to the impact on the urban network of the appearance of independent Ukraine, the repatriation of Crimean Tatars, the processes of voucherization and privatization, and the fourth and fifth waves of migration. The processes of the formation and development of agricultural holdings as well as the construction of new and the restoration of old factories are shown to have had their impact on the urban network. The huge impact on the urban network of temporary occupation of parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is reflected too.

The concept of improving the content and structure of school geographic education was based on the following logic of building the subject: Earth Science—Country Studies (physical geography of continents and oceans)—Geography of the Republic of Kazakhstan—Geography of the World. The content of all geography courses in school was built on the basis of comprehensive country studies along with the scientific popularization of geographical knowledge available to basic school students. In the modern geography curriculum for 7–9 and 10–11 grades, the content of regional studies is of socio-economic and geopolitical nature. A feature of the curriculum is the emphasis of students on mathematical modeling, on research activities, it is proposed to introduce the use of previously acquired knowledge to achieve the students’ goals; new knowledge is closely related to previous and considered in terms of the information received; the complexity of the topic or subject increases with each repetition; the spiral educational program allows to move from simple ideas to more complex in a convenient way. The content of school geography also needs further integration of the content of physical and socio-economic geography in unified country studies courses. Comprehensive country studies create a reliable foundation for holistic geography and serve as the core of a comprehensive study of individual territories of the world. In connection with the change in modern curricula, the hours of the regional chapter have decreased and have gone through other changes. To improve country studies in Kazakhstan, a high-quality teaching method is used. Due to improvements in teaching country studies 300 teachers took part in an online Google questionnaire prepared by researchers. The received data was evaluated by SWOT analysis.

Main purpose of this researching—to give for all potential readers and specialists soviet tourist schemes like a source of urban, demographic, and economic processes in the former USSR period 1972–1991. Tourist schemes appeals to guest, who has come to a new area for a short term. This man needs accommodations, and he should find the best way to attractive places it may be the person who can show him around, but usually it’s just a map or tourist scheme. Tourist schemes of soviet period developed and edited by different printing-factories, they have individual features and specificity and need to be studied further for retrospective goals. It would be the great especially for modern printing-companies producing the maps and tourist schemes nowadays, during the period of independence of Ukraine. We are convinced the good private collection is the best source and base for this research, often it turns the good collection—the better than a library fund.
utopia possível

Estela sem Deus, obra de Jeferson Tenório, narra a história de Estela, uma menina negra de treze anos, cuja infância não pode ser plena, pois desde cedo precisa lidar com as responsabilidades do mundo do trabalho e da sobrevivência. A trama acompanha o desenvolvimento da personagem, dos treze aos dezesseis anos, durante o final da década 1980 e o início da década de 1990. Discriminação racial, violência de gênero, preconceito social, miséria são alguns dos contornos definidores de sua trajetória. Neste trabalho, propomos uma análise da obra relacionando-a ao conceito de Romance de Formação, o Bildungsroman (MORETTI, 2020; LUKÁCS, 2000, PINTO, 1990), espaço metáfora (GULLÓN, 1980), Utopia (BENTIVOGLIO, 2020), e o Bildungsroman feminino (PINTO, 1990). Nosso objetivo é caracterizar como a personagem passa por uma jornada de transformação durante a narrativa, o que caracterizaria um Bildungsroman. Entretanto, Estela, por ser uma jovem mulher negra, não realiza uma jornada de finalização perfeita, com contornos utópicos, como no romance de formação clássico. A proposta de ler essa história como um romance de formação de uma jovem negra apresenta um potencial de aproximação da obra com jovens leitores, permitindo um diálogo com os contemporâneos estudos de literatura juvenil brasileira.

We report the first record of this species from Belitung, a remote island in Indonesia, based on photographs. The new record is approximately 200 km to the east of the nearest locality in Sumatra, and 250 km to the west of the nearest locality in Borneo.
Stonehenge
Authors: Meaden Terence
Published: July 2023

This paper argues that the positions of select stones at Stonehenge reveal a lunar calendar which is integrated with a solar calendar, and that this was intentionally included in the design of the monument. In particular, the analysis shows that Stone 11, which is half the size of the others, is pivotal in both the lunar and solar timelines. Further, it is argued that this stone also marked the midwinter sunrise, its shadow making contact with Bluestone 40 similar to the way in which the Heel Stone indicates midsummer sunrise by its shadow falling upon the Altar Stone.

The remit of public service broadcasting includes the obligation of universal programming, which covers all kinds of programmes such as culture, news, entertainment and sport. Several European Union documents stress the special role of Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) in society and acknowledge a far-reaching autonomy of Member States to define and finance their national system of public service broadcasting. All European countries have defined remits for their public service broadcasters. The definition of the mission of PSB in Poland is only related to the activity of the public radio and television. Also the way PSB gives account for its programme activities, and the control of the way PSB fulfils its remit. Theme channels are part of the remit of public service broadcasting. These channels are considered as important and almost self-evident activities of PSB. Nevertheless there is a need for such provisions to define the mission of PSB in Poland. This is necessary to further specify the criteria used to determine whether a service of theme channels which are transmitted by the public television is of an economic or a non-economic nature. This is the most important because of the requirements of state financing of public service broadcasters. These transparency requirements are internal accounts corresponding to different activities – public service and non-public service activities must be separated.
Regionalizacja w Europie. Idea, granice normatywne i ich realizacja
Authors:   Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Gołda-Sobczak Maria
Published: July 2023

The notion of region is particularly vague, as this issue is referred to by studies from various disciplines. It has long been one of the subjects of interest of the Council of Europe which perceives local and regional administration as one of the fundamental ingredients of modern European democracy. The European Charter of Local Self- -Government is the main document that regulates these matters in the Council of Europe law system. It is accompanied by a number of other documents, including The European Charter of Regional Self-Government. The article provides an analysis of these normative deeds within the realm of Union law. When the Single European Act entered into force, regions have become an important part of Union policy. Committee of the Regions set up in 1994, whose operation is related to the principle of subsidiarity and programming of the idea of the Europe of Regions, is the most important body concerned with regional issues.

Fair use allows to certain limited uses of copyrighted work without permission from the author or right holder. As a limitation and exception to the exclusive right of the author of a creative work fair use is permitted for educational purposes in the Polish law and is covered by the Polish copyright law articles. In view of high importance of education fair use for educational purposes seems to be wholly justified. The paper presents the issue of possible use of copyrighted works in teaching process which comes from the Polish Act on Copyright and Related Rights. It analyses whether the provisions are adequate in the face of the development of digital and web-based information technology. Some amendments to the Polish copyright law are proposed. Another issue discussed in the paper is whether and to what extend so-called Open Educational Resources (OER – freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning etc.) can present a real alternative to fair use.

The aim of the work is to indicate the difference between inactivity and chronicity between administrative proceedings. In the article the authors indicate that it is necessary to distinguish two remedies, which are the complaint about chronic conduct of administrative proceedings and complaint about inactivity of administrative authorities. Spectrum of both complaints is mutually exclusive which in the authors opinion states that the courts are not authorized to assess chronicity of the inactivity complaint.

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar el uso de la polarización, como recurso de comunicación, así como los niveles de coocurrencia de contenidos desinformativos y expresiones de odio, publicados por parte de los grupos políticos nacionalistas e independentistas España, a través de Twitter. El estudio realiza un análisis de tópico de 13.268 tuits en español publicados en Twitter por los grupos políticos analizados, recabados entre el 1 de septiembre de 2019 y el 29 de febrero de 2020, los cuales se comparan con los 2.730 contenidos desinformativos recogidos entre el 1 de septiembre de 2019 y el 29 de febrero de 2020, por dos proyectos periodísticos de Fact-Checking en España (Maldita.es y Newtral.es). Los resultados, nos muestra un escenario comunicativo, a nivel de los grupos políticos estudiados, en el que se hace uso de la polarización como estrategia para atraer a sus potenciales electores desde escenarios digitales como Twitter. En el que además, se observa una mayor presencia de expresiones de odio con carga semántica neutra y un bajo nivel de coocurrencia, respecto a los contenidos desinformativos identificados en los proyectos de Fact-Checking tomados como casos de estudio. Lo que contribuye a la polarización y normalización de expresiones de odio y confrontación, que favorece a la proliferación de prejuicios a nivel de la opinión pública española en Twitter.
Cambios perceptivos en la narrativa audiovisual: la Generación Z frente a “La Cabina”, de Antonio Mercero.
Authors: Fuentefría David
Published: July 2023

Casi medio siglo después de su estreno, el mediometraje “La Cabina” (Antonio Mercero, 1972) continúa inserto en la memoria televisiva de los españoles de la generación del Baby Boom, merced, en buena medida, a su elevada carga simbólica. Tanto la prensa que acudió a los pases previos, como la crítica especializada posterior a su emisión, pusieron el acento en esta particularidad, atribuyendo durante meses, igual que el público de la época, los más diversos significados al contenido metafórico de la narración, en el que se depositó, consensuadamente, el indiscutible impacto del filme. Este artículo ha pulsado su vigencia en este sentido, y las posibles evoluciones en torno a la percepción e interpretación de su narrativa, a través de la visión moderna de cinco generaciones de futuros periodistas pertenecientes a la Generación Z, a los que, durante un módulo de Creatividad en el Grado de Periodismo de la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), se pidió, entre 2015 y 2020, que ofrecieran, con unas referencias contextuales mínimas, sus propias interpretaciones sobre algunos elementos definitorios de la película, arrojando resultados relativos a su propia y actual visión del mundo.

Authors: Matarín Rodríguez-Peral Eva , Gómez Franco Tomás , Madrigal Segredo Yohan Michel
Published: July 2023

Este estudio analiza la cobertura informativa que ha tenido el suicido en la televisión pública española desde el inicio del confinamiento, producido como medida de prevención ante la pandemia de la COVID-19. Se ha utilizado una metodología mixta. La técnica utilizada es el análisis del contenido de la información transmitida en los informativos. Los resultados señalan que la televisión pública presta atención al tema del suicidio incluyéndolo en su agenda informativa, centrando su temática principalmente en los suicidios consumados. En los informativos no se percibe una vinculación relevante entre el suicidio y la pandemia de la COVID-19 como factor desencadenante.
Your College Dorm and Dormmates: Fair Resource Sharing with Externalities
Authors: Gan Jiarui , Li Bo , Li Yingkai
Published: July 2023

We study a fair resource sharing problem, where a set of resources are to be shared among a group of agents. Each agent demands one resource and each resource can serve a limited number of agents. An agent cares about what resource they get as well as the externalities imposed by their mates, who share the same resource with them. Clearly, the strong notion of envy-freeness, where no agent envies another for their resource or mates, cannot always be achieved and we show that even deciding the existence of such a strongly envy-free assignment is an intractable problem. Hence, a more interesting question is whether (and in what situations) a relaxed notion of envy-freeness, the Pareto envyfreeness, can be achieved. Under this relaxed notion, an agent envies another only when they envy both the resource and the mates of the other agent. In particular, we are interested in a dorm assignment problem, where students are to be assigned to dorms with the same capacity and they have dichotomous preference over their dormmates. We show that when the capacity of each dorm is 2, a Pareto envy-free assignment always exists and we present a polynomial-time algorithm to compute such an assignment. Nevertheless, the result breaks immediately when the capacity increases to 3, in which case even Pareto envyfreeness cannot be guaranteed. In addition to the existential results, we also investigate the utility guarantees of (Pareto) envy-free assignments in our model.
VISUALIZATION OF TURBULENT EVENTS VIA VIRTUAL/AUGMENTED REALITY

Published: July 2023

Mixed reality technology, i.e., virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality, has spread from research laboratories to enter the homes of many. Further, the widespread adoption of these technologies has caught the scientific community's attention, which is constantly researching potential applications. Backed by the continued enhancement of high-performance computing in hardware and software, we are applying mixed reality technologies as a scientific visualization tool for fluid dynamics purposes. In particular, we show a virtual wind tunnel (along with the simplified methodology to replicate it) that enables the user to visualize complex and intricate turbulent flow patterns within an immersive environment. Briefly, high spatial/temporal resolution numerical data over supersonic turbulent boundary layers subject to concave and convex wall curvature has been creatively "pipelined" for VR/AR visualization via several scripts, software, and apps, which are further explained and described along the manuscript. The intention is to present a technique of how to visualize fluid flows to be the most convenient for the user, especially if one is slightly unfamiliar with scientific visualization. Whereas VR/AR applications are principally discussed here for flow visualization, the lessons learned can be certainly extended to other disciplines involving three-dimensional time-dependent databases.
ASSESSING ChatGPT FOR CODING FINITE ELEMENT METHODS
Authors: Orlando Giuseppe
Published: July 2023

ChatGPT is a language model trained by OpenAI to follow an instruction in a prompt and to provide a detailed response. We investigate the capabilities of ChatGPT to generate codes which implement the finite element method. The finite element method (FEM) is a popular technique for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). More specifically, we analyze the codes generated
for two open source platforms: deal.II, a C++ software library, and FEniCS, for which we focus on its
Python interface. We consider as benchmark problems the Poisson equation and a linear advection
problem. The outcomes suggest that ChatGPT can be employed as an initial building block to write
finite element codes, but certain limitations and failures, which require further improvement of the
machine learning model and human supervision, are still present.
DOES RACE, ETHNICITY, OR GENDER OF THE MENTOR AFFECT WHETHER THEY WILL BE A "GOOD MENTOR"? A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS
Authors: May Reuben A. Buford , Stanley Christine A. , Soto-Arzat América , Ackerman Jennifer R.
Published: July 2023

Does a mentor's race, ethnicity, or gender (REG) affect whether they will be a good mentor? To answer this question, we draw on qualitative research data from interviews with 15 student protégés participating in a system-wide Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We are interested in the respondents' perceptions of the impact of REG on mentorship across their educational careers. We first elicit the respondents' definitions of a "good mentor," and then ask them for their perceptions of REG on mentorship. We find respondents report that the REG of the mentor has limited significance on the mentorship-protégé relationship; however, respondents report that the REG of the mentor has influence on the mentor-protégé relationship. Respondents who perceive REG as having a limited effect also suggest that diversity of experience, a mentor's personality, and mentor content knowledge are important in a mentor-protégé relationship. Respondents who perceive REG as having an effect believe that mutual respect and personal
preference are important in a mentor-protégé relationship. We offer explanations for these findings and conclude with concrete recommendations for consideration at colleges and universities that seek to enhance recruitment and retention of Underrepresented Minorities (URM) in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs.
Application of multiple-criteria decision making methods for construction safety research
Authors: Chellappa Vigneshkumar , Ginda Grzegorz
Published: July 2023

Decision making is critical to the success of safety management in construction projects. Due to the simultaneous evaluation of numerous criteria and objectives, multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) is essential for decision problem solving. Several MCDM methods are continuously being developed and are progressively used to solve real-world construction safety challenges. This study aimed to understand the progress of MCDM methods and their application in construction safety. A total of 52 articles were found after conducting a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses review method. The research trend is then described using bibliometric analysis in terms of the number of publications per year, sources of documents, influential authors and countries, highly cited articles and research areas. The findings indicated that the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and its fuzzy version, FAHP, were applied mainly in construction safety research. The key areas where MCDM methods were focused on were safety risk assessment, safety culture and safety programmes. The study findings are expected to assist construction practitioners by allowing them to use the best and optimal MCDM method for problem solving related to safety.
Coupled FEM–DEM analysis of mountain tunnels subjected to explosion-induced landslide
Authors: Mandal Jagriti , Goel Manmohan Dass
Published: July 2023

In this study, the onset of a landslide induced by an explosion within a shallow buried mountain transit tunnel was simulated using a coupled finite-element–discrete-element method (FEM–DEM). Two cases of mountain tunnels were considered for the investigation: a continuous tunnel passing through the mountain body and the terminal end of the tunnel. The effect of the location of the explosion inside the tunnel and the angle of slope on the dynamic response of the tunnel and landslide mechanism were investigated. The initiation of landslide and the location of mobilisation of overlying soil varied as the location of the explosion was changed. Time of initiation increased when the explosive was positioned away from the mouth of the tunnel. Changing the location of the explosive also affected the tunnel's response. Highest displacement and acceleration were observed at the crown in the tunnel section where the explosive was positioned. However, regardless of the location of the explosive, substantially high displacement and acceleration were still observed at the mouth of the tunnel. Early triggering of a landslide occurred when the slope angle was increased for the same location of explosion. However, the effect of slope angle on the response of the tunnel was minimal.

El fenómeno del sexting en chicos jóvenes que están en el sistema judicial juvenil: prevalencia y motivación
Authors: Ortas Barajas Francisco , García Montoliu Carlos , Andreu Casas Marina , Pranter Sabine , Gil Llario Mª Dolores
Published: July 2023

El sexting es un fenómeno basado en la recepción, envío y reenvío de mensajes de texto, fotos y/o vídeos sexualmente sugerentes o explícitos através de Internet y teléfonos móviles. Con el uso en expansión de las redes sociales, así como la implantación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en la cotidianidad de los jóvenes, se ha visto un aumento de dicha práctica sexual entre adolescentes. Sin embargo, los datos acerca de este fenómeno en poblaciones vulnerables, como la de adolescentes pertenecientes al sistema judicial juvenil, han sido poco explorados. Así, el presente estudio tiene por objetivo analizar la prevalencia y motivación de uso del sexting en hombres adolescentes que están en medidas judiciales. Para ello se evaluó a n=28 adolescentes de entre 18 y 23 años (M=21,04; DT=1,43) que se encuentran en situación de internamiento en centros socioeducativos en régimen semiabierto y cerrado. Los resultados indican que el 81,5% ha practicado sexting al menos en una ocasión y el 50% percibe que este comportamiento puede tener consecuencias problemáticas. Asimismo, a un 82,1% le han pedido que practicara sexting y a un 50% le han insistido de manera considerable. Entre los motivos principales para practicar sexting destaca el uso de este como estimulación y preámbulo al desarrollo de otras prácticas sexuales, seguido de la voluntad por responder a las necesidades percibidas en la pareja. Estos resultados indican una prevalencia mayor que en población general, lo que sugiere la idoneidad de desarrollar e implementar estrategias preventivas que respondan a las necesidades y particularidades de este colectivo. El presente estudio hasido realizado en el marco de un proyecto financiado por la Conselleria d’Innovació, Universitats, Ciència i Societat Digital (Generalitat Valenciana) [AICO/2021/143].
Mindfulness como alavanca da empatia no desenvolvimento da criança em contexto escolar
Authors: Carvalho Paula , Caçador Anastácio Zélia
Published: July 2023

A ínsula constitui uma estrutura cerebral envolvida pelos lobos frontal, temporal e parietal, com funções ligadasao processamento somatos sensoriale visceral, à empatiae ao reconhecimento desi mesmo. Está relacionada com a capacidade de perceber a dor do outro e a consciência dos sentimentos. A sua ativação parece estar relacionada com a empatia emocional e cognitiva. Por vezes a empatia é confundida com simpatia e compaixão. A tomada de consciência, através da atenção plena, permite observar a transitoriedade dos pensamentos e sentimentos, ao mesmo tempo que são ativadas as neuroestruturas, nomeadamente da ínsula, ligada ao desenvolvimento da empatia. Desta forma a prática de mindfulness surge como uma ferramenta, que permite a ativação da ínsula, responsável pela empatia emocional (afetiva) e cognitiva (racional). A introdução de mindfulness em meio escolar é fundamental para cultivar a consciência e a manifestação das emoções, bem como o desenvolvimento da literacia emocional. Como metodologia optou-se por uma revisão narrativa, embora seguindo o modelo População, Conceito, Contexto (PCC) do Joanna de Briggs Institute (JBI), na pesquisa de artigos, utilizando as bases de dados Scielo, PubMed, Web of Science, Medline e B-on. Definiram-se os seguintes critérios de inclusão: artigos de revistas científicas completos; publicados em português, inglês e espanhol; e publicados no período de 2009 a 2022. Dos artigos encontrados foram selecionados 14 artigos de revistas científicas. Os estudos demostram que a prática de mindfulness constitui uma ferramenta importante em contexto escolar, fundamental para cultivar a consciência de si próprio, a consciência emocional e a literacia emocional, tornando as crianças mais capazes na aprendizagem e nas relações humanas.

La empatía es una de las habilidades más cruciales para el desarrollo de niños y adolescentes. La capacidad de “sentir o experimentar” las emociones de otras personas se denomina empatía. Es una habilidad que promueve la adherencia y la adaptabilidad al grupo familiar y social y favorece el adecuado funcionamiento del individuo, la empatía también es vista como un método positivo de comunicación. Método: El proceso de creación de este instrumento se inició con una revisión de la literatura. A partir de un primer borrador de 88 ítems, se creó un banco de ítems y se pidió a los jueces (psicólogos con experiencia en psicometría, psicología infantil y el tema de la empatía) que evaluarán los resultados. De manera similar, estos primeros elementos se presentaron a un grupo focal de niños para ver si entendían las oraciones dadas sus edades. Posteriormente, se sacaron las preguntas que no estaban claras en su redacción, que los niños no entendieron o que no recibieron la aprobación de los jueces. Luego se agregó y utilizó una versión breve con 29 ítems para el análisis psicométrico. Resultados: El Test Breve de Empatía para Niños es un cuestionario autoadministrado, con 29 ítems con respuestas en una escala tipo Likert que incluye nunca, a veces y siempre. Aplicable a niños de 8 a 13 años.

Published: July 2023

Rapid developments in technology have changed the teaching and learning process. As a consequence, lecturers must innovate in their teaching practices to be effective and efficient. However, there is not enough literature that explains the key competencies for innovative teaching. Research mostly focuses on innovative teaching in general and theoretical perspectives. This article tries to explore the key predictors of innovative teaching practices. Structural equation modeling (sem) was used to examine the research model on a sample of 274 teachers chosen at random. We used an online questionnaire to reach the participants who represent our population (Indonesian lecturers). The result indicates that four competencies (pedagogical, learning, technological, and social competency) significantly predict lecturers’ innovative teaching performance. The findings provid important insight for those concerned with promoting innovative teaching skills among the Indonesian lecturers.

Estimating outputs using an inverse non-radial model with non-discretionary measures
Authors: Noveiri Monireh Jahani Sayyad , Kordrostami Sohrab , Anarestani Rahim Rahimi
Published: July 2023

Few inverse data envelopment analysis (DEA) models have incorporated non-discretionary measures based on radial efficiency values. However, the efficiency may be miscounted in radial approaches when some non-zero slacks appear. Furthermore, there is scant research on inverse DEA to estimate performance measures in the restaurant industry. Accordingly, this research proposes models based on non-radial DEA to analyze the efficiency and output changes of some Iranian restaurants while also presenting non-discretionary measures. Actually, in the company of non-discretionary factors, a non-radial DEA approach and its inverse problem are introduced to assess the performance and estimate the outputs for the modifications of inputs, respectively, while the inefficiency levels are maintained (and when they are preserved or decreased). The inefficiency of each discretionary input and output is specified using the presented non-radial DEA approach, and output targets are determined through inverse non-radial DEA with non-discretionary inputs. The results show containing non-discretionary data leads to more rational determinations through non-radial DEA-founded problems. This research presents analytic insights into the resources of inefficiency and output targets of entities with non-discretionary data, such as restaurants.
Multivariate analysis of post-transition OECD countries in the context of inequality measures

Published: July 2023

The aim of this paper is to classify the post-transition OECD countries according to the Gini coefficient for income inequality, the S80/S20 ratio, the income share of the bottom 40% of the population, educational attainment – tertiary education, and labor force participation rate using factor and cluster analyses. Factor analysis resulted in two extracted factors, and factor scores were calculated. Hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analysis was performed on factor scores to classify eight posttransition OECD countries and three candidate countries. The research question of this paper is to investigate whether there are similarities/differences between existing members and candidates for membership in the OECD, among the selected post-transition countries of Europe, in the context of income inequality. Based on the dendrogram obtained by the hierarchical Ward’s method, a three cluster solution was selected. The non-hierarchical k-means method for the three-cluster solution clustered Croatia with Bulgaria and Romania. These three countries are OECD candidate countries. Our findings confirm that the three candidate countries remain behind because of historical reasons and the non-implementation of structural reforms.

Introduction. In the surgery of gliomas, various techniques are currently being applied that allow the maximum resection of the tumor while maintaining a good or satisfactory functional status of the patients. A rare method is intraoperative contrast‑enhanced ultrasound imaging (CEUI) of the brain substance.

Aim. To present the first experience of using contrast‑enhanced ultrasound imaging CEUI in surgery of brain tumors (large hemispheres and cerebellum), as well as an assessment of the prospects of the technique in routine use in a neurosurgical hospital.

Materials and methods. The features of the application of the technique CEUI, its advantages over routine ultrasound studies and the limitations identified during testing of the technique in 5 patients with various brain tumors.

Results. In some cases, the CEUI allows for the intraoperative detection of a tumor, which is similar in sensitivity to magnetic resonance imaging. This greatly facilitates both the search for the neoplasm, and the formation of the optimal trajectory of surgery. In the case of benign brain tumors, ultrasound contrasting of the tumor is not always observed, but it often helps to determine the boards of the tumor with greater accuracy than the routine ultrasound search.

Conclusion. The use of CEUI in the surgery of brain tumors seems to be a promising direction. A pilot study has confirmed its effectiveness, but more cases are needed to fully study the problem.

Introduction. The dramatic increase in the cost of treating patients with spinal cord injury is associated with the currently accepted active surgical tactics, as well as the use of new technologies, more expensive implants. Currently, a standardized method for calculating the costs of treating patients has not been developed, which may in the future lead to an incorrect assessment of the economic effectiveness of a particular treatment strategy.

Aim. To assess the cost of diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal injury of the thoracic and / or lumbar spine in a multidisciplinary emergency hospital.

Materials and methods. The study was carried out in the Clinic of Emergency Neurosurgery of the N. V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine, Moscow Healthcare Department during 2018–2021. A working group was formed from the doctors of the neurosurgical department. Further, a model of the therapeutic and diagnostic process was compiled with a reflection of all its characteristics: 1) compilation of a mo dified operogram, 2) transformation of the operogram into a technological map, 3) comparison of the obtained characteristics of the process of diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal injury with actual data, correction.

Results. The operogram included 136 steps of the process from the moment of admission of a patient with spinal injury to the emergency department to the moment of discharge (surgery is the 77th step), and also reflected the interactions of 38 participants in the process and took into account the variety of possible methods and tactics of treatment, taking into account the average frequency of their use. Based on the developed process model, a technological map was prepared, which combined quantitative parameters for all key resource characteristics of the process.

Conclusions. Hospital costs for the treatment of a patient with isolated complicated spinal injury at the level of the thoracic and lumbar spine in a specialized hospital amount to 600,652.41 rubles. Out of the total amount of expenses, surgical intervention costs amount to 48.7 %.

Published: July 2023

In the article, for the first time in the Ukrainian social communications research discourse, we propose the definition of the term “social and economic issues” in the practice of Ukraine’s online business media. We described in detail the scientific approach to the definition of the concepts “media issues” and “thematic specialization” in Ukrainian and foreign scientific discourse and proposed our own definitions of the concepts “issues” and “socio-economic topic” (SET) in the content of Ukrainian online business media, which consider the complex nature of these concepts. The main subject was the formation of the socio-economic topic in the content of online business media using the method of compositional structure modeling. The presented model should be tested and can be actively used by practitioners to work on complex socio-economic topics to bring them out of pure economics into the realm where we can solve urgent social issues and problems. This became possible after conducting a qualitative content analysis of online business media. This enabled us to determine the peculiarities of thematic guidelines’ choice and work with a complex synthetic socio-economic topic. The methodology proposed in this study includes theoretical substantiation of the concepts “subject-thematic orientation,” “social-economic topic,” “thematic orientations,” formation of an experimental sample of media messages that contain features of the socio-economic topic and criteria for their selection, qualitative content analysis of selected texts.
