Regulatory overview on New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2019
Authors: Meshram Neha , Harane Suankit , Kale Vinita , Biyani Dinesh , Umekar Milind J.
Published: April 2023

Most clinical studies were carried out in the United States, Europe, and Japan up until 1995. In 1995, the first assessment of research in India was completed. A 2004 article suggested that India lacked the ideal research environment that the majority of clinical researcher’s demand. Clinical trials carried out in India significantly increased in 2009. A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed in 2012 accusing government, non-governmental, and independent investigators of conducting clinical studies improperly. The Drugs and Cosmetics Rules of 1945's Schedule Y, which govern clinical trials, were previously followed (D&C Rules). The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (D&C Act) is the legal framework for the New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2019, or "NDCT Rules," which put an end to the protracted process of codifying the regulations that apply to clinical trials. Clinical trials, studies on bioequivalence and bioavailability, ethics committees, and investigational novel medications for human use will all be subject to the new regulations. As of 13-01-2o22, the Union Health Ministry has published a final notification revising the New Drugs and Clinical Trials (ND&CT) Rules, 2019 to include cell derived products as well as stem cell derived products under the definition of new medication.

Parallelization techniques for quantum simulation of fermionic systems
Authors: Bringewatt Jacob , Davoudi Zohreh
Published: April 2023

Mapping fermionic operators to qubit operators is an essential step for simulating fermionic systems on a quantum computer. We investigate how the choice of such a mapping interacts with the underlying qubit connectivity of the quantum processor to enable (or impede) parallelization of the resulting Hamiltonian-simulation algorithm. It is shown that this problem can be mapped to a path coloring problem on a graph constructed from the particular choice of encoding fermions onto qubits and the fermionic interactions onto paths. The basic version of this problem is called the weak coloring problem. Taking into account the fine-grained details of the mapping yields what is called the strong coloring problem, which leads to improved parallelization performance. A variety of illustrative analytical and numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the amount of improvement for both weak and strong coloring-based parallelizations. Our results are particularly important for implementation on near-term quantum processors where minimizing circuit depth is necessary for algorithmic feasibility.
Information recoverability of noisy quantum states
Authors: Zhao Xuanqiang , Zhao Benchi , Xia Zihan , Wang Xin
Published: April 2023

Extracting classical information from quantum systems is an essential step of many quantum algorithms. However, this information could be corrupted as the systems are prone to quantum noises, and its distortion under quantum dynamics has not been adequately investigated. In this work, we introduce a systematic framework to study how well we can retrieve information from noisy quantum states. Given a noisy quantum channel, we fully characterize the range of recoverable classical information. This condition allows a natural measure quantifying the information recoverability of a channel. Moreover, we resolve the minimum information retrieving cost, which, along with the corresponding optimal protocol, is efficiently computable by semidefinite programming. As applications, we establish the limits on the information retrieving cost for practical quantum noises and employ the corresponding protocols to mitigate errors in ground state energy estimation. Our work gives the first full characterization of information recoverability of noisy quantum states from the recoverable range to the recovering cost, revealing the ultimate limit of probabilistic error cancellation.
Boosting device-independent cryptography with tripartite nonlocality
Authors: Grasselli Federico , Murta Gláucia , Kampermann Hermann , Bruß Dagmar
Published: April 2023

Device-independent (DI) protocols, such as DI conference key agreement (DICKA) and DI randomness expansion (DIRE), certify private randomness by observing nonlocal correlations when two or more parties test a Bell inequality. While most DI protocols are restricted to bipartite Bell tests, harnessing multipartite nonlocal correlations may lead to better performance. Here, we consider tripartite DICKA and DIRE protocols based on testing multipartite Bell inequalities, specifically: the Mermin-Ardehali-Belinskii-Klyshko (MABK) inequality, and the Holz and the Parity-CHSH inequalities introduced in the context of DICKA protocols. We evaluate the asymptotic performance of the DICKA (DIRE) protocols in terms of their conference key rate (net randomness generation rate), by deriving lower bounds on the conditional von Neumann entropy of one party's outcome and two parties' outcomes. For the Holz inequality, we prove a tight analytical lower bound on the one-outcome entropy and conjecture a tight lower bound on the two-outcome entropy. We additionally re-derive the analytical one-outcome entropy bound for the MABK inequality with a much simpler method and obtain a numerical lower bound on the two-outcome entropy for the Parity-CHSH inequality. Our simulations show that DICKA and DIRE protocols employing tripartite Bell inequalities can significantly outperform their bipartite counterparts. Moreover, we establish that genuine multipartite entanglement is not a precondition for multipartite DIRE while its necessity for DICKA remains an open question.

Authors: Santos Alex Braz Iacone , Francischetti Cesar Nascimento , Monteiro Jovani Pereira Barbosa , Rocha Marcelo Borges
Published: April 2023

RESUMOO tráfico e a criação ilegal de aves silvestres contribuem para a perda da biodiversidade e o desequilíbrio ecológico no mundo contemporâneo. Essas atividades são habituais e estão disseminadas por todo o território brasileiro. Geralmente, o poder público utiliza ações corretivas (ex. prisões, multas, apreensões etc.) pouco efetivas no combate a essas práticas ilícitas. Uma alternativa para a superação desta questão é a educação ambiental, que pode ser intermediada por meio dos jogos lúdicos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar o jogo Super Livre, um recurso didático desenvolvido com o propósito de sensibilizar sobre a problemática da criação ilegal e o tráfico de aves silvestres. O jogo foi idealizado de modo a favorecer a autoinstrução e a construção coletiva do conhecimento. Além da aplicação nos espaços formais de ensino, ele tem o potencial de favorecer na interlocução com diferentes atores sociais em diagnósticos ambientais, bem como ser utilizado em ambientes não formais (ex. zoológicos, Unidades de Conservação etc.).PALAVRAS-CHAVE: jogo; educação ambiental; lúdico; ensino.
A COMPLEXIDADE DOS ESTUDOS SOBRE O CORPO NO ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS
Authors: Maronn Tainá Griep , Rigo Neusete Machado
Published: April 2023

O corpo humano é um objeto de conhecimento tratado na Base Nacional Comum Curricular pelas Ciências da Natureza sob a perspectiva biológica predominantemente. Contudo, considerando o conhecimento em suas múltiplas dimensões, reconhece-se que há uma complexidade sobre o corpo humano e, por isso, a educação e o ensino não podem se restringir a estudos que o tratem somente pelo viés biológico. O corpo é o local das inscrições de poderes/saberes forjados no meio social e cultural e que atingem o sujeito. Para tanto, o objetivo do presente artigo é refletir sobre o conceito corpo a partir de referenciais teóricos que o abordam na perspectiva sociocultural e política, para ampliar a visão biológica tratada pelo Ensino de Ciências(EC). A metodologia consiste em uma pesquisa bibliográfica segundo aportes teóricos elaborados por Foucault e Le Breton e, também, pelo campo dos Estudos Culturais. As análises e reflexões são produzidas a partir dos conceitos ‘poder disciplinar’, ‘biopoder’, ‘corporeidade’, ‘sexualidade’ e ‘gênero’. Os resultados indicam que os estudos sobre o corpo demandam de uma complexidade do conhecimento, circunscrita na cultura e no contexto social, que pode potencializar uma perspectiva complexa ao Ensino de Ciências, contribuindo para construção das subjetividades e identidades dos alunos.

Esta investigação é uma pesquisa bibliográfica que procurou levantar nas atas do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (ENPEC), os textos que faziam alguma menção a Paulo Freire e sua obra. A pesquisa demonstrou que o autor só começou a ser citado no evento em 2003, e que a produção com o uso de suas obras tem sido pequena e irregular, totalizando 0,60% do total de artigos publicados até 2019. Além disso, alguns textos apenas mencionam o autor, mas não sua obra. Foi possível verificar ainda que o livro Pedagogia do Oprimido é a referência mais utilizada nos trabalhos. Identificamos os autores da área que mais utilizaram seus referenciais em publicações no evento e, por fim, identificamos que os conceitos educação libertadora, conscientização, investigação temática, diálogo e problematização são os mais recorrentes nos textos encontrados. Podemos apontar, a partir destes temas e demais resultados, caminhos a serem explorados nas obras de Freire que contribuam para a Educação em Ciências.Palavras-chave: Abordagem freireana; Análise de conteúdo; Ensino de Ciências
Conflicto armado en Tibacuy: narrativas, procesos y perspectivas
Authors: Angarita Buitrago Alfonso Alberto , Grismaldo Moreno Ana Mónica , Míguez Monroy Héver
Published: April 2023

El rescate de los recuerdos que hablan del conflicto armado en la voz de sus propios habitantes incita a reconocer las peculiaridades, las señales que quedaron en los caminos veredales, en aquel paraje solitario que se convirtió literalmente en el escenario del último episodio en su vida, para aquella mujer que tuvo la osadía de desafiar el poder del frente 44 de las FARC; o la esquina hasta donde alcanzó a huir aquel agente de la policía, sentenciado por el grupo armado. Es un mapa con incontables lugares, pintado de palabras que recogen dolorosas historias y otras menos tristes, como aquella tarde, casi noche cuando el comandante guerrillero dio la orden a los niños de suspender el partido de fútbol, puesto que iniciaba el toque de queda y una voz infantil respondió de forma clara y concluyente: “espérese que solo nos falta un gol. Son mil sucesos, quizás un millón, de los cuales este documento rescata apenas unos pocos, los cuales buscan ser representativos de aquello que con mayor insistencia señaló lo que la memoria de muchos habitantes guardaría en sus anaqueles. Muchos se fueron en la dignidad y el talante de desafío de su actuación en este teatro de la tragedia, como don Elías, que se negó a comprar las botas que le pidieron como “aporte a la causa” y ello significó que el día menos pensado y mientras ordeñaba sus vacas se encontrara con sus verdugos; apenas corrió algunos metros, llevando su cantina y derramando su sangre y su leche sobre el barro del corral. Murió en su ley; legendaria figura que indudablemente será parte de esa memoria que se impondrá con el paso de los años. Hoy las andadas van de la mesa de víctimas a la determinación para hacer de sus fincas un lugar digno de ser visitado por quienes deseen contemplar sus paisajes, respirar aire puro, tomar un yogurt de chachafruto e ir a la piedra del diablo o a la cabeza del indio. Justo ahí va el Tibacuy que la UNAD se encontró un día, cuando alguno de sus docentes se cruzó con este territorio misterioso y evocador, con sus brujas, sus guacas, su cementerio Panche, sus rocas milenarias, sus montañas imponentes y guardianas de las gestas de otros tiempos y de otros seres que nos habitan y están en nuestra sangre y en aquellos sutiles rasgos de dignidad y abandono que, de vez en cuando y casi sin saberlo, brotan de lo más profundo de nuestro ser.

Published: April 2023

The results of the 4th National Ecological Survey reflect the latest status of the ecological environment in South Korea. In this study, we presented spatial data on the distribution of mammals collected through the 4th National Ecological Survey in the southwestern area of the Korean Peninsula, covering Jeollanam-do, Gwangju Metropolitan City and Jeju island. The data consists of information on mammal individuals recorded at the site and information on characteristics of abiotic environment at the recorded points, including spatial units (administrative districts, digital map index, etc.) which are necessary for statistical analysis. The data have high policy and research values because it can elaborate on the descriptive characteristics of the distribution points and identify the relationship between individual abundance and habitat environment. However, when data is utilized in a regional scale, it should precede to consider the survey system, such as how to select the survey area.

Authors: Kim Euihyun , Ryu Joo-Hyung , Yoon Suk
Published: April 2023

Night-time satellite data were first collected from the U.S. Air Force in 1972 for military purposes. Since then, it has been useful to understand the human activities in the fields of society, economy, culture, and science, etc. In the perspective of oceanography, the night-time satellite data has been used for monitoring purposes such as detecting night-time fishing boats. The Korea Ocean Satellite Center (KOSC) of the Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology (KIOST) has been directly receiving the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day & Night Band (DNB) data since June 2016. It has been archived and distributed for about four years. In addition, the KOSC operates its own ground system, which pre-processing the data including the radiance transformation, conversion of coordinate system, terrain correction, and calibration of lunar irradiation effect for quality improvement. Currently, the contributed data is preprocessed within about an hour after the receiving, so it is evaluated the high efficiency and usefulness in terms of time. This has confirmed the feasibility of real-time information acquisition through the research in the field of night-time monitoring/observation missions in the Northeast Asian Sea and onshore disaster/accident monitoring. The KOSC is making efforts to utilize the distributed data in various research such as maritime domain awareness. From the second half of this year, the NOAA-20 data will be directly received and distributed as an additional night-time satellite data. In the future, it is expected that the more diverse data will be distributed through the research utilization and supports.

Then, the groundwater potential maps were created using the frequency ratio model with a resolution of 30 m for the entire South Korea. The maps were validated using the quantitative ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic)-AUC (Area Under the Curve) method and the results showed the accuracy of 83.52% for specific capacity and 81.92% for Transmissivity. The groundwater potential maps can be used as basic data of groundwater development and downloaded free of charge from the environmental big data platform (www.bigdata-environment.kr).
Reconstruction of Satellite Chlorophyll-a Concentration in the Southwestern East Sea using Imputation Method
Authors: Park Jinku , Lee Sungjae , Kim Hyun-Cheol
Published: April 2023

The chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) data observed with the ocean color sensors have been widely used in the various studies related to phytoplankton. However, irregularly distributed missing data induced by clouds, a unique nature of optics, can cause large uncertainty, and a solution to this missing issue has been continuously demanded until now. We investigated the applicability of the data interpolating empirical orthogonal function and evaluated the reconstruction results in the southwestern East Sea. A total of 311 decomposed modes were used, showing a coefficient of determination of about 0.86 and a root mean square error of 0.37 mg m−3, compared to the truth data. Overall, it was confirmed that the observed CHL was overestimated compared to the reconstructed CHL when the spatio-temporal average was taken.
Radiometric Distortion Corrected Radar Backscattering Coefficient Data over Ilam, Iran using Kompsat-5 SAR Image
Authors: Yang Dochul
Published: April 2023

Flattening gamma naught was calculated using Korea Multipurpose Satellite 5 (KOMPSAT-5, K5) by correcting the radiometric distortion caused by geometric distortion over Ilam, Iran. The flattening gamma naught is not only the SAR core observation of Analysis Ready Data (ARD), which is utilized for artificial intelligence and big data, but also the basis for all fields of application that use the SAR brightness by providing the backscattering values only from surface characteristics. The flattening gamma naught data is provided with the same resolution as that of the K5 SAR image, so the data over the Ilam, Iran have the spatial resolution of the K5 Wide Swath mode of 20 m. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM with a resolution of 30 m was oversampled to generate the flattening gamma naught, and shadow areas where flattening gamma naught generation was not possible were identified using GIM layer information provided with the K5 image. In order to determine the reliability of the calculated flattening gamma naught, histogram analysis and tendency according to the incident angle were investigated, and the performance was verified by comparing it with other backscattering coefficients. Details of the algorithm and procedure are presented in previous studies and reference papers.

This study analyzed the distribution and habitat status of 1 species of amphibian and 4 species in 1 genus of reptiles among “ecosystem-disturbing species” designated by the Ministry of Environment through the National Habitat Survey of Alien Species (2015-2021). As a result, Rana catesbeiana with 415 sites, Trachemys spp. with 513 sites, Pseudemys concinna with 174 sites, Pseudemys nelsoni with 66 sites, and Mauremys sinensis with 31 sites. Of the total habitat area of R. catesbeiana, the agricultural land area accounted for 46% and the used(urbanized/dry) area accounted for 15%. Of the total habitat area of T. spp, the ratio of agricultural land areas was 35%, and the ratio of used areas was 24%. These species were found to live mainly in reservoir areas with higher natural characteristics than in urbanized and dry areas. However, M. sinensis, which were introduced in early 2000 and have a small number of habitats, mainly inhabited agricultural land areas with high naturalness, with agricultural land areas accounting for 43% and used areas accounting for 29% of the total habitat area. Accordingly, a detailed study on the ecology and artificial release of the M. sinensis is needed.

Imputation of Ocean-color Product in Polynya Region of Antarctica for Primary Productivity Estimates
Authors: Park Jinku , Lee Sungjae , Kim Jeong-Hoon , Kim Hyun-Cheol
Published: April 2023

This study, focusing on the Antarctic polynyas, performed the imputation of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) dataset, which is one of the ocean color products mainly used for estimating primary productivity, using the Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Function method and constructed accurate time-series data that excludes as much uncertainty as possible in long-term variability studies due to missing data. The polynya regions were classified into a total of 23 zones through quantitative criterions, and the statistical accuracy of imputation performance was 0.89 for R2 and 0.42, 0.24, and 0.15 for root mean square error, mean squared error, mean absolute error, respectively, on average, showing the ability to perform generally accurate reconstruction. Finally, the reconstructed Chl-a data showed a relatively stable fluctuation compared with standard satellite Chl-a data, and tended to be underestimated due to the expansion of the observable regions. We expect that securing these relatively stable and accurate estimates will be significantly different from the time-series data composed of standard Chl-a estimates, enabling more accurate variability and trend analysis.

The results showed: 1) The reading of diversity is interpreted in the historical sense of diversity in the Bhineka Tunggal Ika; 2) Madrasa as the cultivation of diversity values is carried out by changing the curriculum, strategies, learning models and methods, and Teachers' views on diversity; 3) Praxis for the implementation of multicultural education in madrasas is carried out by: integrative learning plans based on diversity backgrounds; Plural Classroom Management and Diversity Learning Strategies; Ethnic Studies and Social Communication Interactions and Interpersonal Relationships; Madrasa as a Medium for Maintaining Tradition in the midst of Modernity.
The Interpersonal Communication of Prophet Muhammad in Dialogic Hadiths
Authors: Munawir Munawir , Musta'in Musta'in
Published: April 2023

Prophet Mohammed’s interpersonal communication is an appealing topic to study not only the way the communication is conveyed but also the effectiveness of the communication. Though his assignment as a messenger of God was relatively short, around 23 years, he was able to communicate his Islamic messages (teachings) to the Arab community successfully. He turned the Arabs from rejecting and confronting Islam into accepting and defending it. There are factors contributing to this success, and one of them is his interpersonal communication skill. This study attempts to describe Mohammed’s interpersonal communication through a deep investigation into dialogic prophetic traditions (hadith). This study employs a descriptive-inferential method and a subjective communicative approach. The theory used in this study is that of interpersonal communication. The findings reveal five qualities supporting the effectiveness of Mohammad’s interpersonal communication in his dialogic hadiths. They are openness, empathy, supportive attitudes, positive attitudes, and equality.
Legal regulation of the will of a person in relation to the conduct of criminal procedural actions in the conditions of martial law
Authors: Loskutov T.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the legal regulation of a person's expression of will regarding the conduct of criminal procedural actions under martial law. When posing the problem, it is emphasized that the will of a person in criminal proceedings directly affects the activities of the subjects of the criminal process in terms of the realization of human rights and freedoms. In the process of revealing the state of development of the relevant issues, it is noted that scientists did not consider problematic issues regarding the legal regulation of the will of a person during criminal proceedings under martial law. In the course of the presentation of the main material, it is indicated that during the legal regime of martial law, the lack of consent to conduct criminal procedural actions can in exceptional cases be compensated by prosecutorial supervision (control). It is noted that the procedure for obtaining a court or prosecutor's (under martial law) permission is quite cumbersome, formalized and sometimes long, which determines the desire of the subjects of the prosecution to obtain in any way the consent of a person to conduct criminal procedural actions. Attention is drawn to the fact that the regulatory requirement regarding the written consent will not solve all the problems regarding its voluntary nature. It is determined that the subjects of the criminal process, abusing their powerful powers, through the use of coercion, may illegally obtain a person's "voluntary" consent to conduct procedural actions and record it through the drafting of a written document. It is noted that during the period of martial law, the situation with the "voluntariness" of written consent may deteriorate due to the conduct of military operations. the dangerous situation in certain territories, the limitation of procedural tools of proof during martial law creates a significant risk of ignoring the true will of a person regarding the implementation of criminal procedural actions. It is concluded that in order to prevent an irreparable violation of the rights and freedoms of a person who voluntarily consents to the implementation of criminal procedural actions during the period of martial law, it is advisable to provide for such a person at the legislative level the necessary procedural guarantees of rights and freedoms. It is noted that the scope of procedural guarantees should be determined depending on the degree of risk of violation of human rights and freedoms.
Gender aspect of the participation of minors in criminal proceedings
Authors: Khmelevska N.
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes statistical information for recent years regarding the commission of criminal offenses by minor girls and boys, the gender aspect of their participation in criminal proceedings, and the main differences. It was concluded that Ukraine does not pay due attention to the gender aspect of the participation of minors in criminal proceedings.

In science and practice don’t pay attention that the majority of girls who are arrested have unique challenges compared to boys. It is a good idea that programs for girls should be designed to take into account the unique situations of girls, as well as to address the special problems that girls face in a gendered society. Unfortunately, traditional rehabilitation strategies have largely been shaped by healthy assumptions about what young people, usually boys, need. Sometimes girls will benefit from these ideas, and sometimes they will not apply to girls' problems at all.

According to statistics of recent years, girls are less likely to be prosecuted for serious and especially serious crimes than boys. It is considered that scientists of foreign countries actively substantiate the difference between the participation of girls and boys in the field of juvenile justice. They found a gender difference in the behavior of minors. It turned out that boys were more likely to break the law, get arrested, participate in violent crimes, and sell drugs. Instead, girls were more often prosecuted for non-violent crimes.

Juvenile probation programs do not include a gender perspective, although it has been proven that juvenile girls and boys often have different problems that need to be addressed, and a one-size-fits-all approach may not always help. With this in mind, it is necessary to develop and implement probation programs separately for minor girls and for minor boys.
Optimization of captain’s safety management
Authors: Балобанов O. , Fedchun N.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the maritime safety issues in terms of captain’s management activity. Effective and safe management of captains can be achieved by identifying the importance of considering psychophysiological factors in the selection of seamen personnel, including captains, in conjunction with their managerial qualifications and high level of legal culture (knowledge and real willingness to strictly follow legal prescriptions and regulations), and by using a formal safety assessment method in relation to maritime crew management risks.

The authors made a conclusion that the causes of accidents are rooted in the conflict between two main components: subjective (behavior – managerial decision) and objective (vessel and situation), in fact, the captain's personality (or behavior) complies with the requirements of the situation or technical condition of the vessel.

Psychophysiological selection aims to identify abilities and qualities that appropriate professions, accompanied by significant neuropsychological strain, the severity of stressful situations, etc. It appeared that reaction disorder play a decisive role in one-third of all accidents, ergo, psychophysiological selection can reduce maritime casualties by 20-25%. In this respect, the application of the formal safety assessment method in combination with psychophysiological selection in the context of optimizing captain's safety management is proposed. The authors considered the professional selection of captains based on stable psychophysiological states and qualification while assessing the risks via formal safety assessment methodology as a dual basis of the maritime safety.

The functional dependence of maritime safety on the policy of the shipping companies is defined: a) risk assessment, which allows to connect legal norms of safety directly with actions of the captain as much as possible, based on modelling of a situation; b) personnel activity, carried out on the basis of professional and managerial abilities of captains and taking into account the psychophysiological states; c) the level of legal culture (knowledge and strict adherence to safety rules and regulations) of the captain, who operates within the commercial, social and safety sectors, based on the complex of legal rules and regulations governing these sectors.

The article examines the legal regulation of labor mobility of workers in Ukraine as one of the conditions for the development and functioning of social and labor relations in today's conditions. It is noted that the labor market, as an integral part of the country's economic system, mirrors most of the political and socio-economic processes taking place in the state, and focuses on the most acute problems: high unemployment, increasing structural disparities in employment, uncontrolled outflow of labor force abroad , changes in the quality of the workforce and work motivation, a drop in the level of income of the population. These problems become a significant factor in the deepening of crisis phenomena, hold back structural changes, and their solution creates prerequisites for social and economic growth. In the conditions of martial law in Ukraine, the problem of labor mobility of workers, which forms the basis of ensuring the balance of the labor market, is an integral component of which territorial movements of the population in search of a new place of work are of particular importance. It is noted that today there is a global migratory mobility of the population and large migratory movements of labor resources mainly outside the country, which clearly reflects the situation that has developed in the country on the labor market. The reasons for the activation of labor mobility are: unemployment; inconsistency of employees' wages with their education and qualifications; lack of career growth; impossibility of professional development; competitiveness in the labor market; martial law in the country. It was concluded that in order to increase the level of employment in wartime and the period of economic recovery of the country, it is very important to ensure the mobility of the labor force, which will contribute to strengthening its adaptability, increasing competitiveness, as well as the efficiency of use. In order to preserve the labor force and minimize the process of its washing out of Ukraine, including the outflow of youth, workers with formed qualifications and professional skills, an important task is to create jobs at modernized, restored and newly created enterprises.

Over the last few decades, numerous countries have invested vast sums of money and resources in addressing the effects of climate change through adaptation and mitigation measures. Part of these actions, however, resulted in maladaptation. This research investigates the adaptation response to climate change that (potentially) becomes maladaptation for both upstream and downstream watershed communities. This research uses a watershed approach located in the Saddang watershed, one of Indonesia's priority watersheds. The primary data were obtained from observation and in-depth interviews with villagers directly affected by extreme weather (droughts and floods) occurred between 2009 and 2020. The examination of satellite imagery yielded secondary data that revealed changes in land cover, sedimentation, and river flow. This study reveals that by applying a watershed approach, forms of maladaptation are found in the upstream area and have detrimental effects not only on the area itself, but also to the downstream. The upstream deforestation occurring in the period was closely related to the adaptation responses (maladaptation) to the effects of a long drought, which is likely to form a vicious circle between adaptation and exacerbating the impacts of climate change in the coming years. In addition, upstream maladaptations make downstream areas more vulnerable: they divert and create new hazards, and therefore vulnerability of other groups, although some positive examples of adaptation are also found downstream. Programs labeled "climate resilience" with increased food security are applied in both upstream and downstream regions, triggering maladaptation that has a wider impact and illustrating the non-consolidation of adaptation actions that take into account a watershed as a distinct landscape.

Background. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been recognized as human carcinogens and cause liver cancer in animal experimental studies. However, no study investigated their association with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) so far. This study aimed to evaluate the serum PCB concentration in HCC patients and in healthy subjects of the general population living in Brescia, North Italy, a highly industrialized area with heavy PCB environmental pollution due to the presence of a PCB producing factory.

Methods. Lipid-adjusted PCB concentrations, computed as the sum of 24 congeners, were measured in the serum of 101 HCC patients and in 101 healthy subjects of the same age and gender.

Results. Hepatitis B and C virus infection and history of heavy alcohol intake were found, alone and combined, in 87% of HCC patients. No difference was found in PCB serum concentration of HCC patients with and without, and according to, the major risk factors for liver disease. No significant difference was observed in serum total PCB concentration between HCC patients (median: 1081; range: 287.0-3182.0 ng/g lipid) and healthy subjects (median: 1199.3; range: 225.7-22825 ng/g lipid). PCB congeners 118, 138, 153, 156, 180 and 194 were the only ones found over the detection limit in at least 30% of HCC patients. The serum level of PCB 118, but not that of other congeners, was higher in HCC patients than in healthy subjects.

Conclusion. These findings do not support the hypothesis that PCBs play an important role in HCC development, although a contribution by some specific congeners cannot be ruled out

Objectives: Cigarette smoking continues to be the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States. Tobacco related mortality has promoted a massive effort to understand and enhance smoking cessation efforts. In this study, we examine the role of different factors on intentions to quit smoking.

Methods: Data is taken from Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 2012. A total of 1745 national representative samples of U.S adults, meeting our research conditions, were included in this study.

Results: Multivariate statistical analysis methods were used which showed that employed participants were 6 times more likely to have intentions to quit than participants with other occupational statuses were.  Participants who received support sometimes from health professionals were 9 times more likely to have intention to quit smoking as compared to those who never received support from health professionals.  In addition, race (Hispanic), and age group (35-39 years) are significantly associated with intentions to quit smoking. Perceived personal risk of cancer, perceived compared risk of cancer, and family history of cancer were not significantly associated with intentions to quit smoking.

Conclusion: Our study suggests that age, race, occupational status, and help from health professionals are viable intervention targets for smoking cessation interventions. As a key role can be played by health professionals in smoking cessation interventions, future work should evaluate the extent to which health professionals can play a role in smoking cessation intervention.  Smokers should be encouraged to maintain smoke free environments in their homes and offices, by health care providers leading to the protection of non-smokers, lesser convenience for smoking, decreased cigarette consumption, and smoking cues over time.

Backgroung. In public health one debated issue is related to consequences of improper self-management in health care.  Some theoretical models have been proposed in Health Communication theory which highlight how components such general literacy and specific knowledge of the disease might be very important for effective actions in healthcare system.  

Methods. This  paper aims at investigating the consistency of Health Empowerment Model by means of both graphical models approach, which is a “data driven” method and a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, which is instead “theory driven”, showing the different information pattern that can be revealed in a health care research context.

The analyzed dataset provides data on the relationship between the Health Empowerment Model constructs and the behavioral and health status in 263 chronic low back pain (cLBP) patients. We used the graphical models approach to evaluate the dependence structure in a “blind” way, thus learning the structure from the data.

Results. From the estimation results dependence structure confirms links design assumed in SEM approach directly from researchers, thus validating the hypotheses which generated the Health Empowerment Model constructs.

Conclusions. This models comparison helps in avoiding confirmation bias. In Structural Equation Modeling, we used SPSS AMOS 21 software. Graphical modeling algorithms were implemented in a R software environment.
