Authors: Бережная Д.Э. , Доронина Н.Н.
Published: April 2024

Приоритетным направлением деятельности Вооруженных сил Российской Федерации является повышение уровня боевой и психологической подготовки военнослужащих. В статье раскрываются результаты изучения связи коммуникативных качеств и стрессоустойчивости курсантов военных вузов. Проанализирован характер связи коммуникативных и организаторских способностей со стрессоустойчивостью. Установлено, что военная служба лишает солдат многих привилегий, подавляя их привычки и врожденные потребности, в силу строгого распорядка дня, режима и значительных физических нагрузок, тем самым оказывая психологическое воздействие на их личность. Доказано, что ключевую роль в достижении успеха в профессиональной и служебно-боевой деятельности военного играет общение, которое является одновременно основным инструментом и фактором стресса. Поэтому для повышения профессиональной стрессоустойчивости военнослужащих также необходимо акцентировать внимание на развитии коммуникативных качеств

The priority direction in the activities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over the next five years is to increase the level of combat and psychological training of military personnel. The article reveals results of studying the relationship between communicative qualities and stress resistance of cadets of military universities. The nature of the relationship between communicative and organizational abilities and stress resistance is analyzed. It is established that military service deprives soldiers of many privileges, suppressing their habits and innate needs, due to the introduction of a strict daily routine, regime and physical activity, thereby having a psychological impact on their personality. It is proven that communication, which is both the main tool and a stress factor, plays a key role in achieving success in the professional and service-combat activities of military personnel. Therefore, to boost professional stress tolerance of military personnel, it is also required to focus on the development of communicative qualities
Meaning of Epistemological Categories by Mikhail F. Taube
Authors: Соколов Ю.В.
Published: April 2024

В статье анализируются специфические термины, введенные одним из представителей школы славянофилов Михаилом Фердинандовичем Таубе, для обозначения результатов процесса познания. Понятиям «мет», «явь» и «суть» даны определения, показана связь данного терминологического аппарата с мировоззрением Таубе. Для обоснования тезиса о содержательности новых понятий рассмотрена оппозиция феномена и ноумена в истории философии. Показано, что в европейском идеализме доминировали дуалистические модели бытия и познания (в полном соответствии с дуализмом в антропологии). Дуалистическая модель бытия и познания неоднократно порождала противоречия: между реальными вещами и идеями, между феноменами и ноуменами. Признание наличия в человеке трех познавательных способностей позволяет М. Ф.Таубе рассматривать познание как целостный процесс, а результат этого процесса – как систему взаимосвязанных мета, яви и сути

The article analyzes the specific terms introduced by Mikhail F. Taube, one of the representatives of the school of Slavophiles, to present results of the cognition process. The concepts “met”, “reality” and “essence” are defined, and the connection of this conceptual apparatus with Taube’s worldview is shown. To substantiate the thesis about the content of new concepts, the opposition of phenomenon and noumenon in the history of philosophy is considered. It is shown that dualistic models of being and cognition dominated in European idealism (in full accordance with dualism in anthropology). The dualistic model of being and cognition repeatedly generated contradictions: between real things and ideas, between phenomena and noumena. Recognizing the presence of three cognitive abilities in a person allows Taube to consider cognition as an integral process, and the result of this process as a system of interrelated meta, reality and essence
Safety Assessment: Magnesium L-threonate as a novel food for use in food supplements
Authors: Regulated Products Risk Assessment Team
Published: April 2024

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in April 2021 from AIDP, USA (“the applicant”) for the authorisation of magnesium L-threonate monohydrate as a novel food. The novel food is magnesium L-threonate monohydrate which is intended to be used as a source of magnesium in food supplements. Magnesium L-threonate monohydrate is manufactured via a chemical synthetic process, isolated, purified and then dried to a powder. This new application is seeking to use the novel food within the food category: food supplement. To support the FSA and FSS in their evaluation of the application, the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) were asked to review the safety dossier and supplementary information provided by the applicant. Please note the Committee did not consider any potential health benefits or claims arising from consuming the food, as the focus of the novel food assessment is to ensure the food is safe, and not putting consumers at a nutritional disadvantage. The FSA and FSS concluded that the applicant had provided sufficient information to assure the novel food, magnesium L-threonate monohydrate, was safe under the proposed conditions of use. The anticipated intake levels and the proposed use in food supplements was not considered to be nutritionally disadvantageous. The views of the ACNFP have been taken into account in the regulatory assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS.
Analisis Hermeneutika Yuridis Pasal 239 ayat (2) huruf D dan G UU 17/1014 tentang Anggota DPR
Authors: Utari Anak Agung Adik Sri , Rumiartha I Nyoman Prabu Buana
Published: April 2024

Article 239 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of the MD3 Law regulates the right of political parties to conduct inter-term dismissal (PAW) of DPR members. However, the ambiguity in Article 239 paragraph (2) letters d and g caused controversy because the terms of PAW became unclear and often misused to resolve internal party conflicts. This study aims to analyze the juridical hermeneutics of the provisions of Article 239 paragraph (2) letter d and g of Law Number 17 of 1014 concerning MPR, DPR, DPD, and DPRD. The results showed that abstract interpretations of the phrases "proposed by political parties" and "statutory provisions" open up opportunities for subjectivity in dismissing DPR members. Therefore, the recalling arrangement of DPR members requires further clarification to address the abstract issue of interpretation.

Beberapa daerah di Indonesia saat sekarang ini banyak yang berpotensi mengalami genangan akibat kenaikan muka air laut, salah satunya adalah Kota Padang. Kota Padang merupakan pusat administrasi dan kawasan utama penggerak ekonomi di Sumatera Barat. Secara topografi Kota Padang terdiri atas daerah pantai dan dataran rendah, sehingga naiknya permukaan air laut akan mengakibatkan sebagian daerah di pesisir Kota Padang yang tingginya hampir sama dengan permukaan laut diprediksikan akan tergenang. Untuk mengetahui serta melihat dampak kenaikan muka laut yang akan terjadi dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan secara spasial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan spasial melalui pengolahan titik tinggi di lokasi pengamatan dan pengolahan data kedalaman laut untuk mendapatkan nilai harmonik pasang surut dari tahun 2021 sampai 2023, yang diolah menggunakan aplikasi MIKE21. Kemudian diolah untuk mendapatkan nilai rata-rata MSL (Mean Sea Level) serta nilai maksimum bulanan dan tahunan. Dalam pembuatan model genangan dilakukan perhitungan dengan menggunakan persamaan WD = Con (Con ("DEM" <= “tinggi genangan”1, 0). Hasil yang didapat pada penelitian ini luas genangan eksisting akibat dari air pasang Kecamatan padang Barat sebesar 12,229 hektar dengan tinggi genangan 0,749 meter, Kecamatan Padang Utara 831,1893 hektar dengan tinggi genangan 0,675 meter, dan Padang Selatan 831,1893 hektar dengan tinggi genangan 0,654 meter.

Recht op ethisch overleg: een noodzakelijk patiëntenrecht?
Authors: Goffin T.
Published: April 2024

A right to an ethical consultation: a necessary patient’s right?

The law on patients’ rights of 22 August 2002 describes 7 important patients’ rights which healthcare professionals must guarantee and respect towards their patients. In 2002, the aim of the law was to recognize the patient’s autonomy or right to self-determination and to strengthen the patient’s legal position.

The clarity that this law creates in the treatment relationship between a patient and a healthcare professional, is often unclear in practice. Frequently, this legal framework turns out to be too black and white for a concrete and nuanced application in practice. At the same time, the law pays too little attention to the joint decision-making model, which is a necessary condition for the relationship of trust between a patient and a healthcare professional.

Consultation between the patient and the care professional, between care professionals and between care professionals and ethical experts is insufficiently present or almost absent in the Law on Patients’ Rights. However, this consultation is necessary to provide high-quality care and, moreover, to realize a feasible translation of the law into practice.

The question of a right to ethics and ethical consultation as a necessary patient right is in fact the question of consultation as an essential part of considering patients’ rights as a means to realize a patient-oriented, quality healthcare based on trust.

Identifying Personalised and Shared Neoantigens in Breast Cancers
Authors:   Retired from Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Melbourne,  Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia, Lopata Alexander , Mancuso Nunzio ,   Manager, Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, 45 Poplar Road, Parkville, Melbourne,  Victoria 3052, Australia
Published: April 2024

A method has been developed for producing highly specific, polyclonal, or monoclonal antibodies, against breast cancer neoantigens. This technology could provide diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies against tumour neoantigens released by various solid tumours. The technology involves obtaining a portion of a lymph node that drains a breast cancer, dispersing its lymphocytes in culture medium to release a profile of individualised Antibody Secreting Cells (ASCs) that have responded to multiple neoantigens released by the cancer. These activated ASCs secrete antibodies that would normally be evoked by an in situ immune response. Collection of the secreted antibodies from the culture medium replaces the need to use blood serum in which antibodies may be bound to their antigens. Another feature of the technology is that it can reveal the nature of antigenic activity prevailing within progressing tumours. The method is, therefore, applicable to different types of cancer, to changing stages of the same cancer, as well as to ongoing levels of heterogeneity expressed in tumours with the passage of time. In brief, the value of the technology is based on its ability to detect the unique changes associated with evolving tumour antigenic expression in patients requiring effective immunotherapy related to the complexity of individual cancers.
Climate and Environmental Change Migration: The Case of Senegal
Authors: Tine Mor
Published: April 2024

Humanity has always migrated due to environmental factors. Nevertheless, the frequency and intensity of migration flows influenced by environmental reasons have grown exponentially. The environment, however, plays a combined role with other factors regarding the decision to move and the movement itself can vary in distance, duration, level of vulnerability and according with the regional particularities. Having this in mind, this research paper decided to choose one specific case to approach the complexities that environmental migration can raise. The case is of Senegal. The country has suffered climate change impacts, natural and human made-disasters and its people have moved internally and cross-border to cope with the situation. This research will describe the complexity of the climate change and environmental migration in general focusing on some study cases. The last part will focus on the internal and international movement’s particularities and suggest an approach to see migration as a proactive adaptation strategy rather than a reactive last-minute option. Aligned with the Global Compact on Migration the last and UNFCCC recommendation, environmental and climate change migrants need to be considered as active agents and not victims, when designing migration
The Paradox of Eternity Nature of Article 9(3) and Article 80A of the Constitution of Zanzibar, 1984 Over the Sustainability of Zanzibar Government of National Unity: The Glance of 2015-2016 and Perspective for Future General Elections
Authors: Suleiman Ramadhan J.
Published: April 2024

The Constitution of any countryish the most important legal document. It is the highest law of the land in which all other laws get its legality as it is the ground norm. Normally, the Constitution incorporates the wishes and aspirations of each particular state. This signifies that no country can be well administered without having good and strong constitution. Understanding that fact situation, this study assessed the eternity nature of articles9(3) and 80A of the Constitution of Zanzibar,1984 over the sustainability of Zanzibar Government of National Unity with the view of examining to what extent these two important provisions protect the life of Zanzibar Government of National Unity. The study used the doctrinal research method which is the library based research methodology and complemented by comparative methods. Doctrinal legal research relies extensively on using primary and secondary source of law. This is why the study has clearly analyzed various provisions of the Constitution of Zanzibar of 1984 and more specifically articles 9(3) and 80A. The study concludes that articles 9(3) and 80A are not real and strongly an eternity clauses because these articles are simply undermined by the simple and only one provision of article 39(3) of the Constitution of Zanzibar, 1984 and that possibility or reality do not concretely assures the sustainability and life of the Zanzibar Government of National Unity.

Authors: Teijeiro Amador Juan , Macías Raúl J. , Alvarez Lázaro M. , Maragoto Carlos , García Iván
Published: April 2024

Introducción: Para una mayor seguridad y efectividad en la neurocirugía estereotáctica y funcional se requiere una guía neurofisiológica como el registro cerebral profundo.
Materiales y método: Aplicando la actual tecnología digital y de ingeniería de software se han desarrollado sucesivas versiones del programa NDRS para el registro, visualización, grabación y procesamiento de señales con una computadora personal y se han incorporado, además, facilidades gráficas y automáticas para los análisis de correlación anatomofisiológica y el planeamiento del accionar terapéutico final.
Resultados: Desde 1993 hasta el 2009 el NDRS ha sido utilizado en Cuba en la neurocirugía estereotáctica y funcional ablativa para trastornos del movimiento y desde 1996 también en España para guiar el implante de electrodos de estimulación cerebral profunda. En total, hasta el momento este programa se ha empleado en más de 1000 cirugías para trastornos del movimiento, con un promedio de 4 trayectos de registro electrofisiológico por cirugía, menos de 15 minutos por trayecto y con una efectividad clínica posquirúrgica similar a la reportada internacionalmente por otros grupos.
Discusión: Las facilidades gráficas y automáticas del NDRS para el procesamiento de las señales, los análisis de correlación anatomofisiológica y el planeamiento del accionar terapéutico permiten aumentar su exactitud, seguridad y efectividad con un menor consumo de tiempo.
Conclusiones: El NDRS no sólo permite sustituir con una computadora personal gran parte del equipa- miento para el registro cerebral profundo, sino que además sus herramientas gráficas y automáticas aumentan la exactitud, seguridad y efectividad de los análisis y reducen el tiempo quirúrgico total.
