Authors: Levchin A. M. , Ershova I. B. , Rogovtsova A. G.
Published: September 2023

Aim. To study the impact of distance learning on the quality of life (QoL) indicators of primary school children.

Materials and methods. Primary school children and their parents were surveyed using the international questionnaire Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory PedsQL 4.0TM (block for children 8–12 years old). The research group included 182 children (and the same number of parents) undertaking distance learning. The control group consisted of 234 primary school pupils (and the same number of parents) undertaking traditional offline learning.

Results. All QoL indicators in schoolchildren in the setting of distance learning differed significantly from those undertaking offline education. The greatest decrease in indicators was observed on the scale of physical functioning. The indicators of school functioning in distance learning amounted to 65.89±12.63 points (p = 0.04). Distance learning led to a reduction in social contacts among younger schoolchildren, which was reflected in a decrease in the level of social functioning and a decrease in the corresponding indicators to 66.90±10.18 points. The study of the respondents’ emotional well-being and psychological comfort established that changes in QoL indicators were accompanied by a drop in the QoL emotional component during distance learning by 17.98 points. The parents’ attitude to the QoL of their children during distance learning was characterized by anxiety about the indicator of school functioning. The parents also noted a deterioration in emotional functioning and assessed its decrease even at a lower level (64.36±29.37 points) than their children (70.74±19.32; p = 0.03).

Conclusion. Distance learning affects all aspects of the QoL of younger schoolchildren. The greatest decrease in the indicators of physical, school, and social functioning was observed. The parents’ and their children’s opinions of QoL differed. Thus, primary school pupils suffer from insufficient social contacts, while their parents are concerned about a reduced emotional background.

Authors: Davletova N. Kh. , Tafeeva E. A.
Published: September 2023

Aim. To assess the level of body image satisfaction and the prevalence of maladaptive eating behavior (МEB) among students of a sports university with different types of nutritional status (NS).

Materials and methods. 278 students of the Volga Region State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism were surveyed using a body image questionnaire and the Eating Disorder Inventory scale. The body composition of participants was assessed. The distribution of students by NS types was carried out on the basis of BMI data, percentage of fat mass, and the discrepancy between actual and ideal weight.

Results. The study showed that 47.5 ± 3.0% and 38.5±2.9% of the respondents had an insufficient and normal NS, respectively. Only 14.0±2.1% of the students had an excessive NS. Among those extremely dissatisfied with their appearance, individuals with an insufficient NS prevailed (69.5±4.5%), with 21.0±3.9% having an excessive NS and only 9.5±2.9% having a normal NS. The largest number of individuals with clinical manifestations of MEB was established among the students with an insufficient NS (61.8±6.1%).

Conclusion. Among the surveyed sports university students, individuals with insufficient and normal NS prevailed; the share of students with excessive NS was insignificant. Insufficient NS was often associated with a distortion in the perception of the body image and maladaptive EB symptoms. The majority of individuals with an adequate attitude towards their appearance had a normal NS. Psychological characteristics and behavioral stereotypes typical of people with MEB were found in students not only with insufficient, but also with normal NS types.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the work was to compare the effectiveness of the assessment of senile asthenia syndrome using the Frailty and Edmonton Frail scales in elderly and senile patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery.

Materials and methods. The study included 80 patients aged 60 to 89 years with a diagnosis of acute calculous cholecystitis. A correlation was determined between asthenia and the severity of the patient’s condition according to the P-POSSUM scale, the peak value of the increase in the risk of postoperative complications and mortality occurs in patients with a sum of points >32, p = 0.012. The syndrome of senile asthenia using the Edmonton Frail scale was detected in 30 (37.5 %) patients, according to the Frailty scale – 32 (40.0 %), U = 3120.0, p = 0.7862.

Results. The main advantage of the Edmonton Frail scale is the examination time of 22 ± 3 min, while with the Frailty scale 360 ± 22 min (U = 24.5, p < 0.0001). Based on the assessment of the severity of the condition using the P-POSSUM scale, we determined a direct correlation of average strength between the presence of asthenia and the number of points: Edmonton Frail subgroup A – rs = 0.81, p = 0.000001. The same results, respectively, on the Frailty scale – rs = 0.78, p = 0.000004. The frequency of complications increases significantly in the category of patients with asthenia, which is confirmed by both the Edmonton Frail scale – 23.3 % (U = 605.0, p = 0.0087), and the Frailty scale – 21.9 % (U = 632.0, p = 0.0150).

Conclusions. The frequency of detection of senile asthenia syndrome using the Edmonton Frail and Frailty scale in patients was equivalent (U = 3120.0, p = 0.7862). The Edmonton Frail scale is more convenient to use in urgent situations, and the mean time to diagnose asthenia using it was 22 ± 3 min, while the complete diagnosis using the Frailty scale took 360 ± 22 min (U = 24.5, p < 0.0001).

A significant increase in the frequency of postoperative complications was determined in the category of patients with asthenia, confirmed both by the Edmonton Frail scale – 23.3 % (U = 605.0, p = 0.0087), and by the Frailty scale – 21.9 % (U = 632.0, p = 0.0150).

Sociología argentina de las mentalidades de Ingenieros a Germani. Razas, historia y discurso científico en clave de una historia del presente desde el Sur
Authors: Grondona Ana
Published: September 2023

Este artículo se propone una revisión exploratoria de los modos en que la sociología argentina, en particular la científica, trabajó sobre la relación entre mentalidades, razas e historia. En particular, nos interesa hacer una lectura que, orientada desde la perspectiva de la historia del presente, ponga en serie las formas en que estas cuestiones fueron tratadas en los albores de la sociología y en el proyecto científico de Gino Germani. Este ejercicio de puesta en relación de diversos materiales nos obligará, a su vez, a volver sobre la genealogía del racismo que propuso Michel Foucault en su seminario de 1976 en elCollège de France. El texto está estructurado en cuatro secciones. En primer lugar, presentaremos los documentos que hemos trabajado y analizamos la manera en que en ellos se articula la lucha de razas como discurso histórico. Luego, pondremos en relación nuestros hallazgos con alguno de la referidatematización foucaultiana sobre la historia del racismo. A continuación, revisamos los modos en que la narrativa histórica sobre la lucha de razas se conjugó en la sociología de los albores del siglo XX en un lenguaje que se reclamaba científico. Después, daremos paso a la puesta en relación entre aquellos textos primigenios y la sociología científica de Gino Germani para, finalmente, proponer algunas reflexiones preliminares.

República y democracia en las tradiciones políticas argentinas. Persistencias y transformaciones de una relación conceptual controvertida en el debate intelectual (1983-2015)
Authors: Morán Sabrina
Published: September 2023

Este artículo aborda los usos de los conceptos de república y democracia durante el período comprendido entre la transición democrática y el kirchnerismo, desde una perspectiva histórico-conceptual e histórico-intelectual. Se busca dar cuenta del carácter histórico y, por lo tanto, plurívoco de los conceptos políticos, subrayando sus usos en el campo intelectual argentino, las relaciones que se establecen entre ellos y sus implicancias en las tradiciones políticas nacionales. El carácter transversal de las tradiciones liberal, republicana y democrática –no solo con relación al efectivo ordenamiento democrático de nuestro país, sino también a las tradiciones políticas nacionales– resulta parcialmente explicativo de la relación intrínseca entre los conceptos de república y democracia, así como de sus múltiples y, en ocasiones, contradictorios usos e inscripciones en los lenguajes políticos vehiculizados por los intelectuales nacionales. Nuestra hipótesis es que la histórica antinomia conceptual entre república y democracia ha tendido a la convergencia en virtud de la consolidación de la democracia como forma de gobierno y como concepto político determinante del espacio de experiencia y el horizonte de expectativas de la política nacional. No obstante, la disputa entre los proyectos políticos que dicha antinomia vehiculizaba se ha resignificado en la actual relación contrario-asimétrica entre los conceptos de república y populismo.
Simulacro, cálculo y rencor. Una lectura de las interpretaciones de intelectuales del “progresismo” antiperonista sobre los años kirchneristas
Authors: Schuttenberg Mauricio
Published: September 2023

El presente trabajo pretende trazar una mirada interpretativa sobre la conformación y reactualización del discurso antiperonista/kirchnerista en los intelectuales identificados en el progresismo durante los gobiernos de Cristina Fernández. Interesa abordar estos textos, que pertenecen a reconocidos referentes intelectuales, para captar los puntos nodales de un discurso que disputa la hegemonía en la conformación de un relato acerca de nuestra historia y nuestro futuro. La hipótesis que sostenemos es que en esos materiales existe un pensamiento plasmado que trasciende la inmediatez mediática, y es por ello fundamental profundizar en esa línea. A su vez, estos textos son el punto de partida de numerosas interpretaciones que atravesarán distintos medios; es decir, se constituyen como usina de interpretación social. Pensar el progresismo como un espacio amplio en disputa, compuesto por figuras que vienen de distintas trayectorias, es importante para entender la reactualización antiperonista en clave antikirchnerista. Para este trabajo, tomaremos La audacia y el cálculo, de Beatriz Sarlo (2011); El simulacro, de Alejandro Katz (2013); Las huellas del rencor, de Santiago Kovadloff (2015); y Argentinismos, de Martín Caparrós (2011). En términos metodológicos, el trabajo se basa en un análisis político del discurso, desde una mirada teórica metodológica posfundacional, a partir de un corpus basado en libros políticos de diversos referentes ideológicos del campo antiperonista.

Damping Undammed Low Frequency Oscillations in Power Systems: An ANN-Based Approach Using Pre-Disturbance Data
Authors: Al-Momani Mohammad , Al-Mbaideen Amneh , Al-Gharaibeh Seba
Published: September 2023

The paper examines undammed low frequency oscillations (LFOs) that can lead to system collapse, citing the Jordan power network incident on May 21, 2021. Traditional model-based methods for studying LFOs' small-signal stability have limitations. To address this, an online damping controller based on an artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed. Unlike existing ANN-based methods relying on offline controllers, this novel approach utilizes pre-disturbance data from phasor measurement units (PMUs) to dampen oscillations effectively. The paper addresses challenges of partially observable systems in online eigenvalue prediction using ANN. MATLAB is used to implement a feedforward ANN system trained on PMU data. The study involves a three-area test system with various operational scenarios, training the ANN across 406 scenarios to predict eigenvalues and damp LFOs.

Relaxation dynamics of nonresonant excitation transfer processes assisted by coherent phonon environment
Authors: Morishita Tenpei , Kobayashi Kiyoshi , Ishikawa Akira
Published: September 2023

In this study, the steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT) framework is used to investigate the excitation transfer (ET) dynamics of two-level nanosystems (TLSs), focusing on non-resonant processes that involve a dynamic local phonon system. In contrast to other methods based on Markovian or non-Markovian quantum master equations, SEAQT analysis always guarantees the positivity of the density operators, thus enabling the discussion of both transient and long-term dynamics of nanosystems. The findings of this study demonstrate that the relaxation time of coherent phonons, relative to the Rabi oscillation period in two TLSs, significantly affects the relaxation process of non-resonant ETs. Moreover, the degree of mutual synchronization between ET dynamics of TLSs and local (coherent) phonons can either prolong or shorten the decoherence time, presenting a way to control the coherence in nanosystems and stimulate quantum device applications.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Sakvarelidze Amiran
Published: September 2023

Issues concerning cement-based composites basalt fiber concrete’s moisture conductivity are studied in the article. Composites moisture conductivity parameters (moisture diffusion, moisture transfer and relative moisture transfer coefficients) are identified by drying testing on specimens. Experiments are conducted by testing specimens of ( 0t 28 = day age) and containing moisture of ( W 4.5% 0 = according to mass) on drying. Specimens were dried up in the environment of 20% relative humidity. Drying process duration was (190 days) till the equilibrium moister content was met, when moisture transfer (drying) between environment and specimen stops, W 1% C = (according to mass). During drying process moisture loss in specimens were identified with periodic weighing. Cylindrical specimens (with isolated endings) were experiencing drying process from free lateral surfaces. Weight experiment data analyses determined curve of basal fiber concrete moister content changes in time. Parallel to tests cylinders moisture content change was calculated theoretically at any point in time for χ - coefficient’s different values. N number of theoretical curves is received. By comparing and analyzing experimental and theoretical data such a value of χ - coefficient is chosen that can ensure that theoretical curve can reflect experimental curve as much as possible. On the bases of a given data with corresponding formulas moisture conductivity characteristics of basalt fiber concrete: (moisture diffusion, moisture transfer and relative moisture transfer) values are determined.
Conceptual problems of power in international relations

Published: September 2023

In international relations the concept of "power" is one of the most important categories within which the main problem of relations between countries is analyzed – the issue of war and peace. Based on "strength", international actors analyze each other's capabilities and evaluate the degree of stability of the international system. The concept of "power" plays an important methodological role among scientists and analysts of international relations. But, despite this, we argue that the term "power" is often misinterpreted (especially in fields outside of political science), moreover, too often have a stereotypical character unsuitable for science. We found the conceptual problematic of the term "power" in the sciences of politics and international relations. We think that the wrong interpretation of the mentioned concept leads to analytical errors: wrong political decisions are made based on the wrong understanding of the strength of countries and the power in public life, which prevents the prevention of war and the building of sustainable peace. The present study analyzes the reasons for the negative attitude to the concept of "power" in modern scientific fields outside of political science; weaknesses of established definitions in international relations (attention is paid to the views of representatives of the School of Neorealism) are also investigated, and successful examples of rethinking the mentioned concept are given. Also, in the article, we investigate the historical evolution of the mentioned term and try to present the relevance of the problem and the need for conceptual development of the term in the concluding part.

Published: September 2023

Nutrition of the population is the most important social problem. Changes in lifestyle and the decreased standards of living are related to less energy and insufficient vitamin and mineral food intake, which led to the creation of functional food products. That's why there was a need for scientific approaches, processing of recommendations, classification of products of this type - taking into account their requirements and researches. Fruits and vegetables intended for conservation contain 70-95 % water, a certain degree of humidity is a necessary condition for the development of microbes, but it is also the main cause of food spoilage. Significant reduction of water content in products means slowing down chemical processes, thus reducing microbial activity, which deteriorate the quality of products. The aim of the research is to produce prophylactic, balanced and diabetic food preserves using local raw materials – apples, pumpkins and carrots. These ingredients are rich in chemical compositions for human nutrition and are available for appropriate canning processing. The organoleptic and chemical indicators of pumpkin, carrot and apple common in Georgia have been studied. Based on the research, we determined the recipe for the production of each product and the technological mode of process management. Based on the research (tasting, physico-chemical parameters) from the 8 samples, we selected two samples: blend 2 and blend 6.

The need for business processes was essentially caused by the development of management. Any process may involve different departments, and the process itself may include different specialties, different geographic locations, management levels, and other organizational boundaries. Organizations perform better when they manage their business processes properly and pay attention to even the smallest detail in each process. To properly manage business processes, it is necessary to describe in detail the stages that are carried out during the process. People who are involved and responsible for the proper functioning of the business process exchange information, and at each stage of the exchange they may need to use different technologies. On the part of the company, during the correct planning, it is necessary to think about the optimization of each stage, which gives us the opportunity to improve the generation of the product or service. The most obvious example of optimization is when an organization accelerates a business process by changing the process steps, which helps to deliver services/products to customers more efficiently. Unfortunately, many companies today do not consider it necessary to focus on process management, which in turn prevents the organization from developing. It is in such companies that each unit operates independently, often with its own budget, individually developed procedures and IT systems, which ultimately leads to a disconnection between the organization and the customer. Only integrated business processes ensure the creation of a product orservice in accordance with customer needs. Process-oriented organizations tend to outperform organizations that do not focus on processes. Since business process management was created in organizations, a new challenge arose and managers faced the following question: what should be the concept of business processes? The article is based on papers that provide a range of answers to this question. Each paper addresses a specific aspect of a common challenge, covering different management methods, techniques and tools for organizations to capture, analyze and improve their business processes.

Artificial intelligence is already on the list of technologies that have changed the face of war forever, following gunpowder, the internal combustion engine, the airplane, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, etc. Artificial intelligence can give new content to military power. Artificial intelligence is at the center of almost all advances in defense technology. It determines, for example, how the military recruits and trains soldiers, deploys armed forces and, finally, how they fight. Human rights activists advocate a ban on the use of artificial intelligence in certain military developments. Such innovative weapons are called Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS). They call for a ban on combat robots with artificial intelligence in war. Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) is a type of military systems capable of finding and engaging targets without human involvement based on a library of images embedded in the base. The danger is that the system can use weapons without a human (operator) command. Today artificial intelligence in the military sector does not make such decisions by itself. The system can detect and recognize a likely target and suggest options to the operator. However, opponents of artificial intelligence say, it is almost impossible to verify whether the device was actually working autonomously or not. The behavior of such systems should be considered in the case of losing communication during combat operations. And this situation is not excluded at all. There is no international law prohibiting such developments. A large group of international non-governmental organizations, public and religious figures offer to create an international treaty with a preventive ban on autonomous weapons.
Identifying gender disparities on the time to repay microfinance group loans: Evidence from Mexico
Authors: Batiz-Zuk Enrique , González-Holden Alexa
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates how gender disparities affect the time to repay group micro-finance loans using survival analysis and hazard decomposition techniques. We also control for the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the time needed by micro-finance loan borrowers to repay. We use a large sample of bank microfinance group loans from August 2017 to August 2021. Despite the fact that female borrowers' overall default rate is smaller, our unconditional estimates show that female borrowers default almost the equivalent of three consecutive installments earlier. Moreover, this result persists when we control for micro, industry, and macroeconomic factors. We also observe that the COVID-19 pandemic materialized as a spike in aggregate default rates that gradually reduced afterward. Our study identified a potential gender gap that has been understudied in the literature.

Published: September 2023

Background: Diabetes during pregnancy a worldwide health problem is more challenging in Asian population which
affects both mother and baby. The probability of developing type 2 diabetes increases in future by several folds in mother
and perinatal morbidity is also high among babies of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) mothers. The risk of developing gestational diabetes
mellitus is greater even at low Body Mass Index (BMI) among Asian women, reason of which is still not clearly understood. Material and
Methods: 198 pregnant women were enrolled in this case-control study and categorized as GDM and non-GDM on the basis of “Diabetes in
Pregnancy Study Group in India” (DIPSI) criteria for screening gestational diabetes. All the pregnant women were further categorized on the
basis of trimester into 3 groups and period of gestation (PoG) into 4 groups respectively. Body mass index (BMI) and glycated hemoglobin
(HbA1c) were estimated in all the groups. No signicant association was Results: observed in BMI among GDM and non-GDM women when
categorized on the basis of trimester as well as PoG. HbA1c level were signicantly lower in 2nd trimester and in 2nd PoG among GDM women.
Also positive correlation was observed between BMI and HbA1c in early 2nd trimester (>12 weeks to <19 weeks) among GDM women.
Conclusion: Women with higher BMI have the risk of developing diabetes during pregnancy but this does not rule out the risk of GDM in women
with lower BMI. Also, HbA1c may not be used as a good diagnostic marker in GDM however it is helpful in differentiating pre-pregnancy
diabetes from true gestational diabetes.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of total PSA, free PSA and the ratio of free to total PSA in identifying prostate cancer. Patients and methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study from March 2019 to November 2021. Blood samples were analysed by sandwich ELISA and the ratio of free to total PSA (f/tPSA) was calculated. Prostate biopsies underwent histological analysis and the WHO 2012 Gleason Differentiation Score grading system was used. Results: 54 patients were selected; after histological examination 26 (48.15%) had prostate cancer (PCa) and 28 (51.85%) had Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) (P<0.001). The mean total PSA (tPSA) of patients with PCa (26.1 ± 32.8 ng/ml) was higher than that of patients with BPH (9.64 ± 6.72 ng/ml) (p=0.019). The mean f/tPSA ratio of patients with PCa (14.3 ± 16.3%) was significantly lower than those with BPH (21.8 ± 19.3%). Gleason score was poorly differentiated in patients with tPSA < 4ng/ml and > 10ng/ml in 11.5% and 26.9% respectively. 61.5% of patients with f/tPSA <15% had SG≤6, SG=7 and SG ≥8 in 12.5%, 37.5% and 50.0% respectively. AUC/ROC was significantly higher for f/tPSA ratio (AUC, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.81) than for tPSA (AUC, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.77) and fPSA (AUC, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.65). Conclusion: Early diagnosis of prostate cancer requires the contribution of different PSA derivatives and the use of cut-off values.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Hemiplegia, or Yiémum in the Bamoun language, is a disease characterized by paralysis or weakness of one half of the patient's body, rendering him or her disabled. This article looks at the management of Yiémum in a context where the population believes in the supremacy of Bamoun traditional healing methods over biomedicine or conventional medicine. Objective: The aim of this article is to analyse the ethnotherapy of Yiémum (Hemiplegia) in the Bamoun cultural universe, in the West Cameroon region. Methodology: The qualitative method in Medical Anthropology was used to collect secondary and primary data in the Division of Noun over a period from 2 January to 31 August 2019. Data collected from patients, close relatives, community members, traditional healers and health professionals were analysed using the content analysis technique. Arthur Kleinman's interpretative cultural theory was used to interpret the results. Results: The causes and treatment of this condition differ depending on whether biomedicine or traditional medicine is chosen. According to biomedicine, hemiplegic patients are predisposed to sudden death linked to a stroke. This is the main cause of disability in adults. According to the second, in the Bamoun socio-culture, it is a mystical disease, or its origin is unknown. The results of the survey reveal the use of alternative medication in the care of hemiplegic patients, with ancestral practices predominating. Conclusion: There is open collaboration between conventional medical practitioners and traditional medicine initiates predestined to eradicate this disease of mystical origin. The people of the Noun division are opting more for traditional practices and biomedicine.
