Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has focused attention on the use of immunization information systems (IIS) to record and consolidate immunization records from a variety of sources to generate comprehensive patient immunization histories. Operationalization of IIS in the United States is decentralized, and as such, there are over 60 different IIS with wide variations in enabling policies and functionalities. As such, the policies that inform the development and operation of those sub-national IIS exist at the state and sometimes city levels. A targeted literature review was conducted to identify IIS policies and functionalities and assess their impact. The authors identified articles published from 2012 to 2022 that discussed or evaluated IIS policies and functionalities and screened titles, abstracts, and full text for inclusion. When selected for inclusion, authors extracted IIS policy/functionality characteristics and qualitative or quantitative outcomes of their implementation, where applicable. The search terms yielded 86 articles, of which 39 were included in the analysis. The articles were heterogeneous with respect to study design, interventions, outcomes, and effect measures. Out of the 17 IIS policies and functional components identified in the targeted literature review, the most commonly evaluated were provider-based patient reminder/recall, IIS-based centralized reminder/recall, and clinical decision support. Patient reminder/recall had the most published research and was associated with increased vaccination rates and vaccine knowledge. Despite the lack of quantitative evidence, there is a consensus that immunization data interoperability is critical to supporting IIS data quality, access, and exchange. Significant evidence gaps remain about the effectiveness of IIS functionalities and policies. Future research should evaluate the impact of policies and functionalities to guide improved utilization of IIS, increase national interoperability and standardization, and ultimately improve vaccination coverage and population health.

The recovery and recycling of wasted resources are at the forefront of contemporary global issues. Methods of addressing several different issues may go hand-in-hand with each other, such as linking food waste recycling into bio-based adsorbent materials and wastewater treatment. Crustacean exoskeletons are promising candidates for bio-friendly adsorbents; however, maximizing their efficiency requires the optimization of processing technology. Crustacean meat offers an (often luxury) culinary delicacy, while their waste exoskeletons offer opportunities for smart recycling of the magnesian calcite nanoporous biocomposite. Here, we conduct a structural characterization of the exoskeletons of three crustacean species to assess how the extraction of valuable carotenoids affects prospects for the further valorization of their porous powder. The exoskeleton powder’s composition and morphology were investigated by SEM, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR and XRD. The biomineral component magnesian calcite was recorded both in native and in post-extraction exoskeleton powder. Acetone extraction, however, partially removed organic matter from the exoskeletons, resulting in the porosity of the respective powder increasing significantly from below 10 m2 g−1 in the native powder to over 32 m2 g−1 in post-extraction samples of blue crab and spider crab exoskeletons—while the spiny lobster exoskeleton exhibited low porosity, as measured by the BET method. This new insight could improve exoskeleton processing in the sustainable circular economy and applied blue bioeconomy—most notably for adsorbent materials for pollutants dissolved in water or as ordered, nature-derived nanostructured templates.

STATE REGULATION OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Matsuka V.
Published: July 2023

The war, political and economic upheavals led to low investment activity, the curtailment of investment projects and the outflow of foreign investments from the Ukrainian market. In the conditions of the export of investment capital, without improvement of the investment policy and guarantees of capital security, business development and the inflow of foreign investments into Ukraine are impossible. Studying the specifics of state regulation of foreign investment activities will allow us to use the positive effects of foreign investment to improve the investment climate and develop investment infrastructure. The purpose of this article is to develop a system of measures to improve state regulation of foreign investments in Ukraine. The article examines the peculiarities of foreign investment activity in Ukraine. The scale of capital of non-residents in the economy of Ukraine is estimated. The following factors that reduce the country's investment attractiveness were identified: deployment of military operations in Ukraine; political and economic upheavals; significant withdrawal of foreign capital from the national economy; low activity of domestic investors under the influence of a number of macroeconomic factors; insufficient regulation of the investment process in Ukraine by the state; increasing internal and external debts. The shortcomings of the investment regulation system are identified: the inability of Ukraine to regulate legal relations and interests of investors with domestic legislation; ambiguous interpretation of provisions of legislative documents; a large number of regulatory acts that regulate the investment process; instability of national legislation in the field of investment; lack of guarantees of property rights of foreign investors; corruption in the investment sphere, etc. Measures to improve the regulation of foreign investments in Ukraine are proposed: harmonization of national legislation with the norms of international investment law; simplifying the procedure and shortening the terms of business registration and closing; introduction of control over the prevention of double taxation, currency exchange, admission to bank lending; providing regions with the necessary set of tools to increase investment attractiveness; decentralization of state regulation by attracting foreign investments into the economy of Ukraine. Key words: investment, foreign investment, direct foreign investment, investment infrastructure, investment climate, investment policy, state regulation.
Q-Sort: A Blended Methodology Applied to a Personality Inventory
Authors: Rodrigues Rosa , Lopes Paula , Varela Miguel
Published: July 2023

The instruments that are constituted by inquiries that intend to investigate the opinions, behaviors and attitudes, instead of putting the person to the test, intend to find out how they would act in a given situation. Although there are no right or wrong answers, there is a tendency to respond in a socially acceptable way, even if the answer does not correspond to reality. This problem can be overcome through the Q-sort methodology that combines quantitative and qualitative data and analytical techniques that are not present in other methods. In this way, it consists of presenting the participants with a set of statements on a given topic and asking them to classify them according to their opinion, according to a predefined distribution, which is generally approximately normal. This methodology forces participants to distribute the score among the items on the scale, thus avoiding the constraints associated with social desirability and the tendency to respond in the same way or always through the midpoint to different questions. Another advantage is that it provides linearity and near-normality to the scale, which makes it possible to compare subjects more easily. Nevertheless, its advantages, Q-sort methodology also has negative points because forced-choice measures produce ipsative data that lead to distorted scales and problematic psychometric properties. As the data are obtained by ordering a set of items or by forcefully choosing one item over another, it is impossible to achieve very high or very low values on all scales, which gives rise to a large number of negative values that, in turn, result in an average correlation between the scales, which is also negative. In view of the above, it was considered relevant to apply the Q-sort methodology to a personality inventory, whose data were collected from 175 university students attending the Portuguese higher education institution which specializes in the area of economic and business sciences. The Q-sort methodology plays a crucial role in personality inventories by offering a subjective and personalized approach to assessing personality traits. It enables a more thorough and contextual analysis of individual traits, thereby contributing to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the human personality. The results of the empirical study showed that despite the mean values being negative or very close to zero, they allowed the grouping of respondents according to their similarities in terms of their personality traits depending on the course they attend.

Pierre Jodlowsky: "The Archive of the Piece is More Important for me than the Piece Itself"
Authors: Яковлева Т.О.
Published: July 2023

Французский композитор Пьер Жодловски (1971) — один из самых заметных современных авторов мультимедийной музыки. В интервью композитор рассказывает о впитанных им творческих влияниях, о своих общественно-политических взглядах, об увлеченности кинематографом, а также о своеобразном личном манифесте, называемом «active music». Наиболее подробно Жодловски раскрывает специфику своих методов работы через сопоставление с техникой монтажа кинорежиссера Сергея Эйзенштейна и концепцией театрального режиссера Антонена Арто. Используя понятие «тело без органов», композитор описывает способ взаимодействия элементов в своих мультимедийных работах. Автор отъединяет привычные функции объектов от действий, позволяя жесту играть роль звука, а звуку — комментировать видео. Подобный подход вы­свобождает неограниченный потенциал для создания новых связей между музыкой, светом, электроникой и другими медиа.

French composer Pierre Jodlowski (1971) is one of the most outstanding composers of his generation in the field of multimedia music. In this interview, Jodlowski talks about what influenced him as a composer, his social-political views, passion for cinema, as well as his own idiosyncratic manifesto, which he calls “active music.” He explains the specifics of his creative approach through comparisons with the art of film director Sergei Eisenstein and theatre director Antonin Artaud. Using the concept of “body without organs,” the composer describes the way in which some components interact in his multimedia works. Jodlowski separates the familiar functions of objects from actions, thus allowing the gesture to play the role of the sound, and the sound to comment on the video. Such an approach unleashes unlimited potential for creating new bonds between music, light, electronics and other media.

Для изучения распространенности и коморбидных связей хронической соматической патологии у лиц пожилого и старческого возраста, страдающих болезнью Альцгеймера (БА) и деменцией альцгеймеровского типа (ДАТ) с представлением гипотезы соматопсихической патогенетической коморбидности, наблюдали 217 пациентов, условно разделенных на две подгруппы: 1-я — с деменцией вследствие БА (n=73), 2-я — с ДАТ (n=144). Определены различия в вариантах коморбидной соматической патологии БА и ДАТ, которые оказывали негативное влияние на возникновение когнитивных расстройств и формирование наиболее тяжелых вариантов деменции. В случаях БА ведущими оказались патологические процессы в толстой кишке, коморбидными с ДАТ — болезни системы кровообращения и сахарный диабет 2-го типа. Высокая коморбидность соматической патологии с деменцией и трудности в прижизненной верификации этиологических факторов, обусловливающих нозоспецифичность клинического варианта деменции, детерминирует необходимость применения стандартизированного диагностического алгоритма соматического обследования с учетом принципов комплексной гериатрической оценки и фокусной направленности терапии не только на психическую, но и на соматическую сферу для устранения факторов риска соматогенно-обусловленного ухудшения психического функционирования у лиц с деменцией.

In order to study the prevalence of chronic somatic age-associated pathology in elderly and senile people suffering from Alzheimer’s type dementia with the presentation of the hypothesis of somatopsychic pathogenetic comorbidity observation and treatment, 217 patients were observed, conditionally divided into 2 comparable groups: with a defi nitive diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (n=73) and with so-called Alzheimer’s type dementia (n=144). Distinct differences in the variants of comorbid to the selected types of dementia of somatic pathology were determined, which had a negative impact not only in terms of the occurrence of cognitive disorders, but also in the future, during the formation of the most severe variants of dementia. In cases of Alzheimer’s disease, pathological processes in the large intestine turned out to be leading, with Alzheimer’s type dementia — diseases of the circulatory system and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, the diagnostic algorithm of patients with dementia should include the most comprehensive somatic examination, and treatment should affect not only the mental, but also the somatic sphere, taking into account the principles of a comprehensive geriatric assessment. With such approaches and under the condition of social wellbeing in the family, it is possible to achieve not only stabilization, but also some improvement in terms of psychopathological disorders, in particular with Alzheimer’s type dementia.

Authors:   Korean Society for  Holistic Convergence Education, Sa Hye Ji , Han Jee-Hoon
Published: July 2023

his study was to investigate the effects of watching sport entertainment contents on the intention to participate in leisure sports by paying attention to the recently increased sport entertainment contents by applying the extended planned behavior theory. The questionnaire was used as a measurement tool, and the final 323 data were analyzed using the convenience sampling method among non-probability sampling methods. For data processing, SPSS and AMOS programs were used. The research results are as follows. First, it was found that attitude and perceived behavioral control, which are variables of the extended planned action theory, have a significant effects on participation intention. Second, the subjective norm, a variable of the expanded planned action theory, did not show a statistically significant effects on participation intention. Third, it was found that health consciousness, a new factor added in this study, had a significant effect on attitude and intention to participate. In the current situation where sport entertainment contents are increasing, this study is meaningful in that it identified the main factors affecting the participation intention of leisure sports participants.
Preliminary examination on the value of Amsadong Site in the perspective of Outstanding Universal Value
Authors:   The Korean Neolithic Society, Lee Hwajong
Published: July 2023

The Amsadong Site, which were discovered as the Great Flood in 1925, is a representative Neolithic site on the Korean Peninsula, and is already designated and protected as a nationallydesignated cultural heritage due to their importance and significance. Recently, the value of the Amsadong site has been newly recognized and used as a socio-cultural resource, and preparations for the nomination of World Heritage based on the value and significance of the site.
According to research on the Amsadong site, it would be the earliest Neolithic site in the Midwest of the Korean Peninsula, and is a representative site of the Korean Peninsula that shows Neolithic culture that emerged in the process of adapting to a new climate in Holocene. In particular, the pottery culture, which is represented by comb-patterned pottery excavated from the Amsadong Site, is a archaeological evidence that proves the universality of East Asian earthenware culture that changes into a new decoration technique and the process of differentially occurring, changing, developing, and spreading of comb-patterned pottery culture in the Korean Peninsula. In the early study of comb-pattern pottery culture, there was also a study of the diffusionism with Eurasian earthenware culture, but this is time to be reviewed through expanded research through multi-layered space setting including the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.
Comparing the value of Amsadong Site with criteria i)-vi), the nomination criteria of iii) and iv) can be met in consideration of differentiated pottery culture, new substance for adaptation to the changing environment, and the formation of settlement villages. However, in order to strategically promote the nomination as a World Heritage Site, it will be necessary to review the development of Neolithic pottires and comb-pattern pottery culture based on a wider space range, including the Korean Peninsula. In particular, for the serial nomination of World Heritage, it is necessary to review the outstanding and universal value through a review of Neolithic sites in the Midwest of the Korean Peninsula.
The nomination of World Heritage is an effective way to protect and promote the value of the value of Amsadong Site, and we look forward to continuous efforts for World Heritage sites.

La refondation des contours d’une francophonie littéraire depuis l’océan Indien : le cas de Raharimanana
Authors: Magdelaine-Andrianjafitrimo Valérie
Published: July 2023

Les littératures francophones contemporaines des îles du sud-ouest de l’océan Indien montrent que le lien avec la langue française a changé, mais que les effets de la colonialité du pouvoir perdurent : la francophonie donne encore lieu à une sensation de marginalisation, à des tensions. En nous penchant sur l’auteur malgache Jean-Luc Raharimanana, nous voyons comment il distingue la francophonie institutionnelle de l’usage poétique de la langue française. Il postule la nécessité d’une double décolonisation non seulement du français mais aussi du malgache. Il s’agit pour lui de redonner leur diversité à chacune des deux langues. Les littératures orales malgaches – qu’il mélange et réinvente – façonnent la matière d’une poétique française, transforment l’écrit en parole chantée. Il ne s’agit pas seulement d’une rencontre entre oralité et écriture, mais d’une oralisation de l’écriture. L’auteur renouvelle dès lors profondément les formes du littéraire en rejetant toute délimitation générique. Son corps accueille toutes les voix qui trouvent une place dans l’écriture. Crise du récit, fragmentation des formes et du sujet, autoréflexivité et métatextualité : ces éléments sont fréquents dans les poétiques françaises immédiatement contemporaines. Toutefois, ils prennent un nouveau sens lorsqu’ils sont énoncés depuis un autre centre. L’auteur cherche à transformer la langue française en image, en son pour pouvoir réinterpréter la catégorie de l’universel qui fut au fondement même de l’entreprise coloniale française. La déconstruisant et la défaisant de toute autorité, il restaure un lien entre Madagascar et l’Afrique et appelle ainsi à une francophonie littéraire transversale, émancipée. Ce parcours dans l’œuvre de l’écrivain vise donc à proposer une réflexion sur certains enjeux, certains positionnements des littératures en langue française de l’océan Indien.
Artigo 293 da UNCLOS como cláusula jurisdicional?
Authors: Silva Pedro Henrique Pirani de Souza
Published: July 2023

O artigo 293 da Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre o Direito do Mar (UNCLOS ou Convenção) trata do direito aplicável às cortes e tribunais previstos na Convenção.  No entanto, os limites da interpretação deste dispositivo se demonstram, ainda, controversos quanto ao seu uso como cláusula jurisdicional. Apesar das regras de jurisdição especificadas no artigo 288 da UNCLOS, cortes e tribunais têm decidido diversamente sobre esta utilização do art. 293 da Convenção, ora admitindo a demanda, ora rejeitando-a. Nesse ínterim, este artigo propõe investigar qual a interpretação mais adequada para conferir estabilidade ao mecanismo de solução de controvérsias estabelecido pela Convenção.
