Awareness about Menstrual Hygiene Management among Visually Impaired Adolescent Girls
Authors: Singh Smriti , Agarwal Shalini
Published: December 2023

Menstruation is a physiological process in which females of reproductive age shed their uterine lining each month. Disabled persons may experience several forms of discrimination while they are menstruating since disability has a stigma. The current review aims to evaluate visually impaired adolescent girls’ needs for menstrual hygiene, the obstacles they face, and the interventions that can assist them in managing their periods in a sanitation and respectful way. The year 2015 to December 2022, a comprehensive search of relevant previously published articles taken from (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Global Health) provided the basis for this literature review. As per the findings of the present studies, there is very little information available on how to manage the menstrual hygiene of a visually impaired girl. Blind girls face prejudice and limitations, issues related to menstrual hygiene management for the blind are significantly more complex than for other members of the community. From the available literature, it was noted that the braille method, tactile method, audio drama etc., have proved useful in providing information about the management of menstrual hygiene. During the review literature, we found that most of the time girls get information about menstruation hygiene from their mother or their experience and learn. Menstruation hurts their physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being.

Published: December 2023

Microorganisms are ubiquitous, including within habitats, and they have a negative impact on human health, sanitation, and living situations. Surface microbial load is affected by various factors such as location, usage, cleaning, and environment. Kitchen countertops, toilet fittings, doorknobs, electrical appliances, and fabrics can harbor bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. These pathogens may originate from persons, air or external sources. It is known that high microbial loads on surfaces cause health hazards. Pathogenic bacteria can live for extended durations on surfaces, causing infections by contact or aerosolization. Surface microbial load can be decreased through cleaning and disinfection processes. Reducing microbiological contamination requires the use of appropriate cleaning products, and procedures. In antimicrobial coatings, silver ions and other disinfectants can inhibit surface bacterium adhesion and growth. To mitigate health risks, it is necessary to comprehend microbial colonization and survival on various surfaces. This article examines common surface bacteria, microbial load factors, transmission pathways, and their impact on human health.

Authors: Mishra Yoganchal , Yadav Rohit Raj , Singh Adarsh Kumar , Verma Kavita , Yadav Neelam
Published: December 2023

In Ayurveda, Triphala is a formulation of three herbs. It is a mixture (equiproportional 1:1:1) of fruits of three plants, Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica) and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis). Triphala shows antibacterial, antiallergic, antiviral, antifungal, immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties. Triphala and its constituents help in the improvement of blood circulation, reduction in level of cholesterol and control of blood pressure. This study focuses on detecting various phytocompounds and their comparative analysis for antioxidant potential in two different formulations of Triphala extract. Antioxidant activity was determined by phosphomolybdenum assay and reducing power assay. Our results indicated the presence of various phytocompounds such as phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids etc, which may play a role in its biological activities. Both Triphala formulations showed significant free radical-scavenging properties as compared to ascorbic acid. Formulation S2 (H:B:A - 1:2:3) showed higher antioxidant activity as compared to formulation S1 (H:B:A- 1:1:1). In conclusion, Triphala non-equiproportional mixture may be a more promising Ayurvedic drug in future Triphala.

Authors: Wayadande Aishwarya Sudhakar , Honklas Priyanka
Published: December 2023

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is estimated to be the most common endocrine illness affecting women of reproductive age, affecting 28% of young women. A trend toward grade 1 obesity is predicted by PCOS patients’ BMI when compared to females in the same age group. Body weight exercises, known as calisthenics, involve a variety of movements that employ the body’s weight as resistance. Because the movements are relatively easy to learn, pose little risk of harm, and offer a distinct exercise routine that may be more enjoyable, calisthenics may be a beneficial replacement for resistance training. To examine how callisthenic workouts, affect young adult girls with PCOS’s BMI, waist-hip ratio, depressive symptoms, and QOL. The study’s objective was to examine the effect of callisthenic exercises on BMI, waist-hip ratio, depression, and QOL in class 1 obese young adult girls with PCOS. An Experimental study was carried out, in and around Pune city. A total of 52 patients with PCOS, and class 1 obesity were included in this study; with aged 18 to 25 were chosen using simple random sampling. The individuals underwent callisthenic exercises for 6 weeks, the pre- and postdata were measured using the waist-hip ratio, BMI, Beck Depression Inventory, and PCOS Health Related QOL. The study concluded that calisthenics helped class 1 obese young adult girls with PCOS enhance their QOL and lower their BMI, waisthip ratio, and Beck depression score.

Soil plays a pivotal role in ecosystem health and agricultural productivity. This study focuses on a critical region for soil research, Kalmykia's central dry steppe zone in southern Russia, characterized by arid conditions and unique challenges. Our investigation aimed to evaluate the current state of soil properties and assess trace element accumulation within this environment. The region's distinctive characteristics, including being home to Europe's first desert, present a complex scenario for soil conservation and management. A thorough analysis of key physicochemical properties, including organic matter content, soil texture, pH levels, and the concentrations of trace elements (V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, and Pb) using established methodologies, was conducted. Our findings revealed several crucial insights into the soil conditions of this arid region. Soil samples predominantly consisted of Haplic Kastanozems Sodic, characterized by low organic carbon content (0.3-1.9%). Soil texture analysis indicated a predominantly light and medium loamy granulometric composition with a prevalence of sandy fractions. Soil pH values ranged from neutral (pH = 7.6-7.9) to slightly alkaline (pH = 8.0-8.4). Furthermore, the study provided the first assessment of soil conditions in residential areas of the Caspian Lowland's arid region. Notably, trace element analysis showed elevated concentrations of several metals, with Sr having the highest levels. Co, Cr, and Zn concentrations did not significantly increase compared to the background values. The results of this soil fertility evaluation hold significance for soil restoration and conservation efforts in this unique and fragile ecosystem. In conclusion, this study underscores the urgent need for soil monitoring and management practices to address soil degradation and desertification driven by overgrazing and erosion. Understanding the physicochemical properties and trace element dynamics in arid regions is essential for developing strategies to restore and conserve these valuable soils.

Published: December 2023

High seedling performance is crucial for the growth and development of plants, as it directly affects the potential for crop yield. Therefore, robust early seedling characteristics can lead to higher yields and better crop productivity. This work evaluated the early seedling characteristics of maize seeds grown under four irrigation water salinities (0.30, 1.5, 3.5, and 7 dS m-1). For this purpose, maize plants were grown to maturity in pots under rain shelter conditions, and then maize seeds were harvested. Subsequently, the maize seeds germinated to determine the early seedling characteristics, the leaf's Na+, Ca+2, K+ content, and the K+/ Na+, Ca+2/ Na+. The results showed that irrigation of maize crops at 7.0 dS m-1 reduced seedling fresh weight, root fresh weight, and SPAD parameters by 46.9%, 78.1%, and 38.7%, respectively, compared to 0.30 dS m-1. Irrigation of maize plants with 8.0 dS m-1 significantly hampered the reusability of maize seeds and decreased seedling height (7.81 cm), root dry weight (0.13 g), and root length (5.5 cm). Moreover, the highest ratios of K+/Na+ (12.58) and Ca+2/Na+ (3.46) ratios and the lowest leaf Na+ content (0.24%) of maize seedlings were found in 0.30 dS m-1 treatment. Based on the results, it could be suggested that the reusability of maize seeds, which irrigation maize crops with ≥ 3.5 dS m-1 saline water, is not recommended for sustainable maize production due to low seedling growth performance. Finally, the current study has the potential to provide important insights into identifying robust and healthy maize seeds grown in high-salinity environments.

Iron (Fe) malnutrition in humans is a global concern which can be revised by improved Fe density in staple crops. A field experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of chelated iron on growth, yield and iron concentration in bread wheat (cv. Moomal) at Tando Jam Pakistan. The treatments included, Control (No Fe-EDTA), Soil supplement of Fe-EDTA (@ 2 kg Fe ha-1), Soil + foliar supplement of Fe-EDTA (@ 2 kg ha-1 and 0.2% Fe at booting, flowering, and milky stage), and Foliar supplement of Fe-EDTA (@ 0.2% Fe at booting, flowering and milky stages). The defined growth and yield traits of wheat were increased with Fe-EDTA applications over control treatment. Among different Fe-EDTA application methods, there was no significant difference for most of the growth and yield parameters (excluding spike length, number of spikelets spike-1, and 1000 grain weight). The amount of Fe in wheat grains was significantly higher in all Fe-EDTA treatments over control, with maximum value (86.54 ± 5.57 mg kg-1) in the treatment where Fe-EDTA was applied in soil + foliar. Similarly, a high Fe build up in surface soil was obtained with treatment of Fe-EDTA in soil + foliar. Overall, with various Fe-EDTA treatments, an increase of 21.2 to 29.1% in grain yield and 1.9 to 4.3 times in Fe concentration of wheat grains was achieved in current study. It is suggested that the Fe should be included in wheat production technology to attain better yield and Fe concentration in grains.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. The current state of economic development is due to a long period of spatial infrastructure formation, which is the basis for the formation of a state policy actual concept in its priority areas. The socio-economic strategy of the Russian Federation is currently, for objective reasons, associated with the implementation of the import substitution program. The issue of creating a concept for the formation of technological sovereignty as the main driver of the development of the regional, sectoral economy and the economy of the country as a whole is outlined in the current agenda. Theoretical analysis. The unprecedented economic sanctions imposed against Russia were aimed at weakening Russia’s role on a global scale. The response was the announcement of an immediate course of state policy aimed at intensifying the technical and technological development of the country. Since 2005, the Russian Federation has formed not only import substitution mechanisms, but also created its own innovative infrastructure for the implementation of the spatial economic development strategy. Empirical analysis. Research in the field of the technological sovereignty concept formation has allowed us to formulate a number of global problems and challenges to be solved. The basis of the conceptual presentation were the strategic directions of scientific and technological development formulated by the President of Russia for the period up to 2030. The revitalization of the domestic system is the starting point for building internal potential and establishing stable foreign economic relations. Results. Having considered the existing forms and mechanisms of economic space formation, it became possible to identify the main sites on the basis of which priority strategic directions of development will be implemented. The key tasks in achieving technological sovereignty are to change the system of personnel training, the formation of technological and scientific potentials, the creation of an ecosystem of interaction of various representatives, the implementation of a cluster approach in industry and the creation of investment attractiveness in the regions. As a regulatory mechanism for achieving technological sovereignty, the formation of approaches to the definition of the concept of “technoeconomics” as a new sector in the economic space to achieve the fundamental stability of the Russian economy is proposed.

Introduction. Despite the transition of economic systems to a digital economy, today industry is a driver of the development of the economy of any country, and accordingly, consideration of the development peculiarities of this sphere in post-Soviet countries is of scientific interest. Hence, the purpose of the study is to analyze the industry development dynamics in the post-Soviet countries in the period of 1990–2021. Materials and methods. In the course of the study, methods such as analysis and synthesis, tabular and graphical, relative and average values were used. Results. At the start of the market transformation, post-Soviet countries had high industrial potential, while the share of the GVA industry in the GDP of each subject was above 20%. As we move away from 1990, more post-Soviet countries are showing a tendency to reduce the GVA ratio, which is due to the combination of factors, the main of which is the impact of the transformational transition and subsequent crises. The best results in hydrocarbon production are shown by countries with natural resource deposits: Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, the rest of the post-Soviet countries have near-zero production indicators, which reduces their ability to invest “petrodollars” in other sectors of the economy. Indirectly, the import structure shows problems in the manufacturing industry, in which in 2021 the import of machinery and equipment prevails in almost all post-Soviet countries. Conclusions. Summarizing the results obtained during the study, we can draw a general conclusion based on the results of the analysis: having some accumulated (formed) capital in industry, the post-Soviet countries were unable to convert it into sustainable development of their economic systems and at the moment are largely forced to rely on imports of machinery, equipment and vehicles. The findings will be useful to researchers in the field of post-Soviet countries’ integration and disintegration.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. Researchers around the world are in search of new sources and drivers of economic development and growth. In this regard, digital economy is becoming one of the main internal factors stimulating the economic activity of the country and its regions. Therefore, its emergence, development and measurement are becoming a priority at present. Theoretical analysis. It is important to note that the formation and development of digital economy is associated with the main trends in economic development that have developed as a result of the third and fourth industrial revolutions. In this way, digital economy reflects the transition from the third to the fourth industrial revolution. Industrial revolutions are associated with a radical change in old technological modes and the emergence of completely new technologies that have a huge impact and contribute to the transformation of the economy and other areas. Empirical analysis. In the course of the study, the process of digital transformation was considered not only at the national level, but also at the level of the regions of the Russian Federation. It was revealed that digitalization within the country, in some regions, is extremely uneven. There is a small group of leading cities with a high level of digital development, and there are many regions that lag behind, in which the population has limited access to modern technologies. In addition to the gap in access to digital technologies and the Internet, there is an inequality in digital competencies, knowledge and skills of users, and ways of using technology. Results. In current reality, in order to ensure their development, competitiveness on the world stage, maintain sovereignty and national security, as well as to improve the standard of living and well-being of the population, states need to stimulate the digitalization of the economy and other spheres of society, approaching this comprehensively and systematically, develop roadmaps and national programs for the development of digital economy, follow their transition to digital economy and use foreign countries experience in the formation of its ecosystem. Their analysis will make it possible to compare and assess the level of digitalization in Russia, to develop recommendations for faster and higher quality digital development.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. Legal regulation in the field of local self-government has been carried out by the key Federal Law “On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation" for twenty years. It is periodically criticized due to numerous adjustments, and, after the 2020 amendments to the Russian Constitution, its “resignation” was already predicted. However, the bill prepared to replace it did not stand up to criticism and died out in the State Duma. Against this background, there is a reason to comprehend and evaluate the current law from the standpoint of the relevance of extending its “legal life”. Theoretical analysis. It has been revealed that, from its inception, local self-government has undergone numerous changes dictated by the needs of the state. They are based on the balance of interests of central and local authorities. Historical and legal research has shown the trend during the period of zemstvo reforms in monarchical Russia. After a long Soviet period of oblivion, at the end of the last century there was a revival of local government on the democratic basis. The Basic Law of the State of 1993 reflected the independence of local self-government, as well as not entirely justified rule on the separation of its bodies from state ones, which influenced further legislative regulation that was subject to frequent changes. Results. The clearly manifested desire of the legislator to bring local self-government closer to the general system of government for the coordinated interaction of all levels of government became a logical step towards the constitutional consolidation of the institution of public power. The authors’ conclusion was that under these conditions, the resource of the current Federal Law “On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation” is not exhausted.
Methodology of research into constitutional subjective law
Authors:   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Malyj Alexander F.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen are the subject of numerous studies. Various approaches are used to disclose the content of these rights. Most often, their analysis takes place through the consideration of the norms governing a certain range of social relations, united in the institution of law of the same name. This method makes it possible to apply a wide range of regulations in the analysis, to show the features of their implementation. At the same time, there is another approach – the study of the content of subjective law by considering the powers of a person. Theoretical analysis. The classical set of powers (right-behavior, right-demand, right-claim, right-use) makes it possible to focus on the ability of the individual to realize his / her rights and freedoms. The article shows the features of various ways of analyzing constitutional rights and freedoms. The comparison of two approaches to the study of constitutional law (the study of the totality of norms as a legal institution and the analysis of the content of subjective law through a set of powers) is carried out. The author pays attention to the peculiarities of the study of subjective constitutional law, completeness of the elemental composition of this law, presence of a “volitional moment” in its implementation. Results. The author provides arguments in defense of the expediency of accurately determining the direction of research into the content of subjective law. It seems more fruitful to consider the subjective law through a set of powers. The confusion of approaches makes it difficult to fully reveal the possibilities of realizing the rights and freedoms of the individual.
Promoting business ethics in Russia: Legal framework
Authors:   Saratov State University, Toguzaeva Ekaterina N.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. In the context of the significance of the development of the Russian economy, the culture of business communications of business entities is of particular importance. Its enhancement and stimulation are supported in every possible way by the state, and popularization of entrepreneurship and formation of a positive image of the entrepreneur among the population become the most important area of activity in achieving state goals and objectives. Though, the process of forming business ethics and legal regulation of the promotion of business ethics in the Russian legislation are still at the stage of active development. Theoretical analysis. The modern legal field primarily reflects promotion of the values of competition, promotion of social responsibility norms among entrepreneurs, promotion of legal entrepreneurship and formation of a positive image of the entrepreneur. However, most often, the legislator creates the prerequisites for the behavior desired by business in the existing legal conditions, without directly enshrining the “propaganda of business ethics”, with examples from current legislation and law enforcement practice being confirmation of that. Empirical analysis. Fragmented legal regulation of the promotion of business ethics, both at the federal and regional levels, emphasizes the lack of a systematic approach to understanding business ethics, which, in turn, may affect the effectiveness of the future formation of fair commercial practices. Result. In the legal field, business ethics should be considered as a complex, collective and still developing concept, including an attitude to the social responsibility of a business entity, corruption, healthy competition, combining elements of management ethics, corporate culture, ethics of interaction with government agencies, environmental awareness, etc. Introduction to the legal field of promoting business ethics is a natural process. Legal education remains an effective measure to promote business ethics among business entities, that pursues preventive goals, and only in conjunction with measures to support and encourage such activities at the present time, since ensuring the standards of business ethics is closely related to the absence of illegal forms of economic struggle, to building measures of economic security in the context of corporate social responsibility, rejection of corruption, etc.
Twórcze metody wychowania fizycznego i zdrowotnego w pracy nauczyciela z dziećmi w wieku przedszkolnym
Authors: Kowalewski Michał
Published: December 2023

Aktywność fizyczna jest jedną z najbardziej charakterystycznych i naturalnych cech wczesnych faz rozwoju człowieka. U dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym rozwój fizyczny rozpoczyna się od spontanicznej ekspresji ruchowej, od naturalnych, słabo skoordynowanych ruchów, które stopniowo podlegają doskonaleniu i koordynacji, prowadząc często do ich nadmiernej wręcz kontroli czy zahamowania w wieku dorosłym. Cywilizacyjny postęp oraz współczesne modele wczesnej edukacji, zorientowane na intensyfikację przekazywanych treści edukacyjnych, sprawiają że najmłodsi znaczną część czasu spędzają siedząc na przedszkolnym dywanie czy w szkolnych ławkach. W wielu przypadkach zaspokojenie potrzeby ruchu jest ograniczone, rola edukacji fizycznej w rozwoju dziecka podlega marginalizacji, a najmłodszym ogranicza się możliwość podejmowania aktywnych form zachowania, co w konsekwencji prowadzi do postępującej eliminacji naturalnej kinetyki ciała. Proponowane w niniejszym tekście twórcze metody wychowania fizycznego i zdrowotnego w pracy nauczyciela z dziećmi w wieku przedszkolnym zaspakajają ruchowe potrzeby najmłodszych, zorientowane są na „ruch kreatywny”, a dzięki spontaniczności i swobodzie pozwalają dzieciom na twórcze wyrażenie siebie oraz wspierają ich wszechstronny rozwój, realizując w ten sposób elementarne paradygmaty, przesłanki i wyznaczniki charakteryzujące współczesną pedagogikę przedszkolną.

Published: December 2023

Nowożytny olimpizm wyrósł z zachwytu nad ideą antycznych agonów. Poprzedził go rozwój systemów gimnastycznych oraz zorganizowanych form sportowych w postaci zrzeszeń i klubów zaistniałych w XIX w. Miejsce sportu stawało się wyraźne w życiu społecznym w wielu krajach, niestety czynne uczestnictwo w tej dziedzinie było domeną mężczyzn. Dzięki ruchowi emancypacyjnemu kobiety dążyły do osiągnięcia lepszej pozycji w strukturze społecznej, uzyskaniu równouprawnienia, także w dziedzinie sportu. Niniejsza praca pokazuje początki aktywności polskich zawodniczek w igrzyskach olimpijskich w okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego oraz ich zaangażowanie w umacnianiu pozycji kobiet na arenach światowego sportu.

Authors: Ngu Nguyen Huu , Khoa Nguyen Phuc , Non Duong Quoc , Nhi Phan Thi Phuong
Published: December 2023

Background: Agricultural practice is considered as main factor affecting land degradation in several regions in Vietnam. However, there are limited studies relating to degraded soil properties and their soil fertility. This paper aimed to evaluate the degradation of agricultural soil under different land management practices. Methods: A total of 80 samples at 0-10 cm of agricultural soil were collected to analyze selected physicochemical properties. The group of degradation soil properties was classified based on their soil fertility using principal component analysis. Result: The results showed that physicochemical properties in agricultural soil along coastal regions were relatively lower than in hilly regions/secondary forests. High ratio of C:N in agricultural soil was because of degradation. The organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorous contents were low in the soil in lowland areas indicating a high level of degradation (1.43%, 0.09% and 0,04%, respectively). The samples classified into four groups (G1, G2, G3, G4) using principal component analysis indicated differences in soil properties due to degradation. Insufficient and excessive application of inorganic fertilizer could be a further reason affecting the status of soil properties. Overall, soil physicochemical properties indicated poor conditions for agriculture systems, thereby, careful soil management is the primary solution.

Authors: Sabbaha Ahmad Maulana , Rahmawati Erik Sabti
Published: December 2023

Indonesian Government has made changes to the minimum age limit for marriage in the Marriage Law to prevent the practice of underage marriage and protect children's rights, which are part of human rights. This research aims to examine the sociological aspects of changes in the age limit for marriage in Indonesia, which basically uses the Universal Human Rights approach as the main instrument in revising the Marriage Law in Indonesia by using the view of human rights put forward by Mashood A. Baderin. This research is a normative juridical research that uses a historical and conceptual approach. The results of this research show that two sociological aspects underlie changes in the minimum age limit for marriage in Indonesia, namely the health and education aspects. Changes in the minimum age limit for marriage are intended to fight for children's rights, especially health and education. According to Mashood A. Baderin, the Al-Qur'an and Hadith have regulated children's rights. Changes in the minimum age limit for a marriage intended to fight for children's rights align with Mashood A. Baderin's views on children's rights in Islamic law.

Authors: Nafisah Fini Syamilatin
Published: December 2023

Pada dasarnya semua ulama madzhab bersepakat bahwa ka’bah adalah arah kiblat bagi orang yang berada di dekat dan dapat melihatnya. Akan tetapi mereka berbeda pendapat tatkala membahas kiblat bagi orang yang jauh dari Ka’bah dan tidak dapat melihatnya. Penelitian ini menjadi menarik untuk dibahas selain karena makam yang ada tidak rapi, masyarakat juga beranggapan bahwa menghadap kiblat cukup dengan jihah al-ka’bah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis eksistensi dari jihah al-ka’bah dalam menguburkan jenazah di Pemakaman Islam Lingkungan Plumbon. Serta penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk Mengetahui jumlah makam di Pemakaman Islam Plumbon yang sudah sesuai dengan penentuan arah kiblat menggunakan Rashdul Kiblat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yaitu menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk dapat menggali lebih dalam mengenai eksistensi jihah al-ka’bah, serta menggunakan metode kuantitatif untuk pengukuran arah kiblat dengan metode Rashdul Kiblat harian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman masyarakat dan praktik penguburan belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan perhitungan Rashdul Kiblat namun sesuai dengan pemahaman masyarakat bahwa saat penguburan menggunkan Jihah al ka’bah. Selain itu, hasil pengukuran dengan metode Rashdul Kiblat menunjukkan bahwa hanya ada 1 makam yang menghadap akurat pada ‘ain al ka’bah.
