Published: November 2024

El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar el impacto directo e indirecto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la Argentina durante los años 2020 y 2021, a través del análisis del cambio de la esperanza de vida según grandes causas de mortalidad. Las fuentes de datos a utilizadas fueron las defunciones para los años 2019, 2020 y 2021, información proporcionada por la Dirección de Estadísticas e Información en Salud (DEIS) del Ministerio de Salud de Argentina. Se utilizaron las proyecciones de población elaboradas por CELADE (2022). Se calculó la descomposición de las diferencias de esperanzas de vida en 2019, 2020 y 2021, utilizando el procedimiento propuesto por Arriaga (1994, 2014). Entre 2019 y 2021 hubo ganancias de esperanza de vida entre los menores de 25 años, y pérdidas en los mayores de 24. Asimismo, las principales disminuciones de la esperanza de vida se debieron a muertes directas por COVID-19.

Published: November 2024

A comparison of prolonged epidural analgesia (PEA) with conventional on-demand analgesia in geriatric patients with circulatory insuffi ciency (CI) who underwent surgery on the lower extremities demonstrated a pronounced opioid-sparing effect in them in the postoperative period. PEA in the postoperative period is indicated mainly in elderly and senile patients with limited cardiovascular system reserves, as epidural anaesthesia signifi cantly reduces the risk of cardiac complications in this patient population.

TÜRKİYE, KAZAKİSTAN VE AZERBAYCAN ÖZELİNDE TÜRK DÜNYASI MÜZİK KÜLTÜRÜNDE MENDİL
Authors: Yıldırım Emin
Published: November 2024

Türk kültüründe mendil, gerek geçiş ritüellerinde, gerekse gündelik hayatta duyguların bir ifadesi, bir aksesuar, bir iletişim biçimi, kibarlık göstergesi, danslara eşlik etmede ve sahne sanatlarında kullanılan kültürel bir nesne, dua ve dilekleri gerçekleştirmede bir araç olmasının yanında, bünyesinde çoklu anlamlar taşıyan önemli bir kültürel semboldür. Türk kültüründe ortak kültürel bir unsur olan mendil ve ona atfedilen anlamları, Türk kültürüne ait, efsane, destan, bilmece, atasözü, türkü gibi kültürel ürünlerde de görmek mümkündür. Türk kültüründe mendile atfedilen, ortak düşünce ve davranış kalıpları, Türk dünyası müzik repertuvarına da yansımıştır. Türk dünyası müzik kültürü içerisinde yer alan eserlerin sözleri incelendiğinde mendile yüklenen anlam dünyası ve bunun müzik ile kurduğu ilişki hakkında fikir sahibi olmak mümkündür.

Towards a new ontology of economics
Authors: Knyazev Yuriy
Published: November 2024

The article attempts to look at the ontology of economic science from the standpoint of the dual nature of the human personality, which combines two principles – individualism and collectivism. The purpose of this study is to identify the true nature of man, who is not a one-dimensional individualist, but also has features of collectivism, i.e. the desire and ability to live in society. The author puts forward and seeks to prove the following hypothesis: individualism and collectivism are simultaneously inherent in the human personality and inevitably manifest themselves in its vital interests, including economic ones. The research methodology, based on taking into account the objective and subjective factors of economic life, allows us to identify the genesis of public interests as a continuation of the collectivist principle in man himself, as well as to characterize and typologize public goods in their combination with private goods. Based on the analysis, the one-sidedness of methodological individualism is shown, which takes into account only the egoistic nature of man and not his collectivist principle. The overwhelming majority of society, with the help of the state, forces the disobedient minority to obey the rules of community life, without which social life is impossible. As a result of the study, the main conclusion is made about the need to replace methodological individualism with the principle of methodological dualism, postulating a dialectical combination of individualistic and collectivist inclinations of people.

Ensuring coherence between China’s “Belt and Road” initiative and Eurasian Economic Union Project
Authors: Vardomskiy Leonid
Published: November 2024

The article examines the transport development of the intracontinental spaces of Eurasia and their interrelations with the Belt and Road initiative and the activities of the EAEU in infrastructure construction.
The emergence of the Initiative is due to several large-scale global economic processes, such as the shift of the center of world production to Asia, China’s leading role in the global economy, its desire to form a different, more equitable model of world economic relations, the growth of geopolitical, transport and economic dynamics of intra-continental events. The central element of the Initiative is China’s willingness to finance local infrastructure projects in which there is a common interest.
The integration project is focused on the state sovereignty of the participating countries, the transformation of the EAEU into a dynamically developing region of Eurasia, and the economic attraction for third countries. The EAEU sees the creation of a modern communications infrastructure (the Eurasian transport framework) as the main prerequisite for achieving these objectives. One of the important results of the conjugation of the mega-project and the activities of the EAEU has been a multiple increase in trade and transport communications between China and the EAEU countries. The implemented, ongoing and recommended projects of international transport corridors ensure the permissive effect of intra-continentality and a wider use of the advantages of the Central Eurasia position for the development of the countries of Central Asia, Western China and the Siberian regions of Russia.
The impact of western sanctions on the role and place of Russia in relations with Kazakhstan (political and economic aspect)
Authors: Komolov Oleg
Published: November 2024

The paper is dedicated to the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on the investment activity of Russian companies in the post-Soviet space, in particular in Kazakhstan. After 2014, Russian capital was forced out of the Ukrainian economy and partially relocated to Kazakhstan, which today is a key place for foreign direct investment among the CIS countries. China, the USA, Turkey and EU countries also show high activity in the capital market of Kazakhstan. The conflict of commercial interests of these countries on the territory of Kazakhstan may become a significant factor of political tension in the post-Soviet space.
New realities of economic cooperation between Russia and Mongolia
Authors: Samaruha Victor , Samaruha Alexey , Dorzhieva Valentina
Published: November 2024

The article examines the development of the Mongolian vector of foreign economic policy, the strategy of Russia’s turn to the East, within which it seeks global multipolarity and a reduction in opportunities for U.S. domination. In Russia’s confrontation with the United States and its allies after the reunification of Crimea in 2014 and especially after the start of the Russian Special military operation in February 2022 of particular importance is the development of Russian-Mongolian economic and political cooperation in the Russia-Mongolia-China triangle and in regional associations (EAEU, SCO, ASEAN, etc.).
The article shows that Mongolia, which sticks to political neutrality, is actively developing economic ties with both neighboring countries – Russia and China – and (within the framework of the “third neighbor” concept) with the United States, the EU, Japan, South Korea and other developed countries, in competition with which Russia now has to renew the economic partnership with Mongolia once lost after the collapse of the USSR. The result of the study is the conclusion that currently Russia’s foreign economic interests in Mongolia are mainly built on the economic and infrastructure projects of the Chinese Initiative “One Belt, One Road”, thereby strengthening the Chinese factor in the bilateral Russian-Mongolian economic partnership, which in the future may lead to new risks to national economic security.

Las sistematizaciones de Talleres de Ciencia Recreativa como Recursos Educativos Abiertos en México
Authors: García Guerrero Montserrat , García Guerrero Miguel
Published: November 2024

Los Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REA) son parte importante del ecosistema de Ciencia Abierta como una propuesta de apertura de experiencias educativas que pueden ser aprovechadas en distintos momentos y contextos cada vez con otras propuestas enfocadas en aprovechar distintas ideas de trabajo. Uno de los valores esenciales para el trabajo científico, desde la perspectiva de Merton, es el comunismo: compartir ideas, modelos, metodologías y resultados ayuda a potenciar el avance de la ciencia, lo que va de acuerdo a la propuesta de ciencia abierta. Las actividades de comunicación pública de la ciencia y tecnología llevan esto un paso más allá, al hacer los temas científicos accesibles a diferentes sectores sociales; en particular los talleres cumplen una función interesante en este sentido, al propiciar procesos de construcción colectiva de conocimientos entre sus participantes. Por muchos años, los grupos dedicados al desarrollo de talleres han usado dinámicas orales e informales para transmitir la esencia de sus actividades y propiciar su réplica, lo cual limita considerablemente su alcance. La formalización y difusión de los modelos de talleres en documentos de sistematización, que funcionen como REA, puede ser un paso importante para la comunidad de grupos de talleristas y también para aprovechar estos recursos en espacios como escuelas, museos y bibliotecas públicas. El presente artículo usa la metodología de estudio de caso para identificar y describir los avances de la propuesta de un Repositorio de Recursos Educativos Abiertos con sistematizaciones de talleres de ciencia recreativa buscando fomentar el uso de estos recursos a nivel general y promover el principio de apertura y aprovechamiento de los esfuerzos científicos realizados en México.

The present study aimed to explain the challenges of implementing the integration plan for students with borderline mental functioning in the ordinary schools of Ahvaz City, Iran. Methods The present study was conducted using a qualitative approach in primary schools in Ahvaz City using conventional content analysis based on the approach of Lundman and Graneheim from December 2020 to August 2021. Data were collected through field notes and 17 in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 individuals, including 7 teachers, 2 principals and 3 assistants. Data coding and analysis were performed using MAXQDA software, version 18. Results Data analysis led to the emergence of 28 codes, including 3 categories of educational system challenges (with two subcategories of lack of planning and poor system of appraising borderline students), teachers’ challenges (with 5 subcategories of annoyance and objection of ordinary students, not following educational calendar program, high workload in integration classes, crowding and confusion of integration classes, and the teacher’s emotional reaction to not learning of the borderline students), and the attitude and response to integration plan (with 3 subcategories of reaction of ordinary students’ parents toward the integration plan, negative attitude of educational staff toward integration plan, and teachers’ objection toward integration plan). Conclusion The results showed that the administrators have a negative attitude toward implementing the integration plan and are against it. The successful implementation of the integration plan depends on solving the challenges in the path of this plan. It seems that the results of the present study can help education managers and policymakers design suitable and desirable programs to solve the challenges and facilitate the integration of students with borderline mental functioning in ordinary schools.

AIOps and DevOps : Catalysts of Digital Transformation in the Age of Automated Operations
Authors: Sekhar Chittala
Published: November 2024

This article examines the pivotal roles of Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) and Development Operations (DevOps) as key drivers of digital transformation in contemporary organizations. As businesses increasingly rely on complex, distributed IT systems, the integration of AIOps and DevOps emerges as a critical strategy for maintaining operational efficiency, scalability, and innovation. Through a comprehensive analysis of current literature and industry case studies, we explore how these technologies are reshaping the landscape of IT operations, accelerating software delivery cycles, and enabling more resilient and adaptive infrastructures. The article delves into the evolving nature of release engineering, where automation and machine learning are becoming central to ensuring agile and robust IT systems. Furthermore, we critically assess the ethical implications of automated decision-making in operations, including issues of transparency, bias, and job displacement. Our findings suggest that while AIOps and DevOps offer significant benefits in terms of operational optimization and cost reduction, their successful implementation requires careful consideration of organizational culture, skill development, and ethical guidelines. This article contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital transformation strategies and provides insights for practitioners navigating the complex intersection of artificial intelligence, automation, and IT operations.

Authors:   National Aviation University, Yakivchenko Andriі
Published: November 2024

The article examines the problem of high concentration and partial monopolization of the Ukrainian energy market, which restrains the development of renewable energy (RES) and prevents the full liberalization of the market. The article examines the implementation of innovative marketing strategies and cooperative models as a way to activate small businesses and households to stimulate RES and increase the country’s energy security. The main emphasis is placed on the need to overcome monopolization through the introduction of ecological and innovative marketing, which will contribute to the sustainable development of the energy industry, reducing dependence on traditional energy sources and improving the investment climate of Ukraine. The work provides an overview of the energy market of Ukraine, its main players and models of cooperatives that can be used to increase the innovative development of renewable energy. Innovative marketing is the basis for the implementation of these models, facilitating cooperation between households, small businesses and key energy companies. The main ideas of innovative marketing for the implementation of cooperatives include: cooperative-local network, price flexibility, simplification of calculations, stimulation of RES without state support. The implementation of innovative marketing involves the use of modern digital platforms, raising environmental awareness and stimulating investments in renewable energy. The proposed approach of innovative marketing in the activities of key players in the market, while creating opportunities for new players in local networks, will strengthen the achievement of sustainable development of the country’s energy system. The purpose of the article is to reveal the organizational characteristics of innovative marketing in the mechanism of implementing cooperative models of the energy market of Ukraine. For this purpose, the use of cooperative local networks as an innovative model of energy resource management is considered, which can help not only to increase competition, but also to ensure the sustainable development of the energy industry in Ukraine due to greater integration of RES (renewable energy sources).

Published: November 2024

The article monitors the stock market of Ukraine in the period 2019–2023. The definition of the concept of “stock market” is considered. Analyzed different periods, both before the full-scale invasion and during the war. The stock market in any country in the world is characterized by the number of issued financial instruments by business entities. It is also characterized by the volume of exchange trading in these instruments. The stock market is an indicator of the state of the country’s economy. It also performs specific functions in the financial policy of the country. Its development and increase in functionality is a priority task of the government. The development of the stock market of our country is based on the experience of the developed countries of the world. It should be noted that the stock market of our country is at the stage of formation, based on the volume and number of financial instruments with which operations are carried out on the market. Based on the MSCI classification, the stock market of our country belongs to the least developed category. This is due to certain restrictions introduced by the NBU for foreign investors, as well as their failure to perform their main functions properly. It is clear that the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, which took place in February 2022, had a negative impact on the capital market of our country. Based on the information provided by the National Commission for Securities and the Stock Market (NCSCFR) for the analyzed period, it is gradually recovering despite the hostilities taking place on the territory of our state. Thus, in comparison with 2019, in 2023, the volume and number of bond issues registered by NKCPFR increased, the volume of investment certificates of mutual investment funds increased, and the volume of exchange contracts with securities on domestic trading platforms increased. Transactions on exchange contracts with securities in most cases take place on the stock exchanges “Perespektiva” and PFTS. Positive developments are observed in all segments of the stock market. But it should be noted that in terms of trading instruments, the stock market of Ukraine has a low level of development. Full recovery and development of the capital market of our country is possible only after the end of the war.

THE ROLE OF SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE GOALS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Cherkasy State Technological University, Zakharova Oksana , Shulha Oleksandr ,   Cherkasy State Technological University
Published: November 2024

The article focuses on the role of socially responsible business in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Ukraine, particularly in the context of post-war economic recovery. The authors highlight that the russian federation’s military aggression has caused extensive damage to the country’s infrastructure, severely hindering the implementation of environmental, social, and economic goals. Businesses that adopt socially responsible practices are seen as key players in rebuilding processes, job creation, poverty alleviation, and integrating innovative environmental technologies. In addition, the article discusses various examples of how Ukrainian businesses are implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices to support sustainable development. These include efforts to modernise industrial processes, reduce carbon footprints, promote renewable energy, and provide social support to war-affected populations. The role of CSR in enhancing business competitiveness in national and international markets is also addressed. The authors argue that businesses must comply with regulatory frameworks and take proactive measures to ensure that their operations contribute to long-term economic stability and social welfare. The study further examines the contribution of businesses to specific SDGs, such as poverty reduction, hunger alleviation, and clean water access, by creating quality jobs, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and implementing water conservation technologies. The paper highlights the potential of the private sector to significantly improve social and environmental conditions in regions affected by the war. In this context, the authors suggest that social responsibility initiatives must be integrated into core business strategies, allowing for a broader impact on the achievement of the SDGs. Moreover, the article stresses that the role of socially responsible businesses is not limited to national-level initiatives. Companies can also contribute to global SDGs by addressing pressing international issues, such as climate change, through their CSR projects. However, due to the immediate challenges posed by the war, the authors suggest focusing on national priorities for the foreseeable future. Ukrainian businesses must prioritize economic survival and recovery during the war and post-war periods, but their actions will also have long-term implications for global sustainability efforts. The authors conclude by proposing that further research should focus on developing mechanisms to stimulate businesses to engage more actively in CSR initiatives aimed at achieving the SDGs. The findings of the study underline the importance of creating a supportive environment that encourages businesses to invest in socially responsible projects, thereby contributing to the country’s recovery and sustainable growth.

Periodismo femenino de los años 40: El caso de Consuelo Colón es una obra en torno a la búsqueda de la expresión femenina a través de los medios periodísticos durante la década de 1940. Durante muchos años, la vida social se dividió en esfera pública y privada, asignando roles de género y división del trabajo colectivo en función de estos. La doctora Cecilia Colón hace un recuento detallado de los intentos de hacer visibles las ideas de las mujeres mexicanas desde inicios del siglo XX, enfatizando la necesidad de reconstruir una identidad nacional posterior a la Revolución Mexicana. Colón hace visibles los medios a través de los cuales se construía esta nueva cultura de género, enfatizando el papel de la educación y de los medios periodísticos. Para ahondar en ello, profundiza en la obra de Consuelo Colón, periodista mexicana cuyo rescate constituye un enriquecimiento a la memoria colectiva mexicana y a la cultura de género.
Citizen Involvement during the CRTC’s Let’s Talk TV Consultation
Authors: Luka Mary Elizabeth , Middleton Catherine A.
Published: November 2024

 

The authors analyze citizen engagement efforts undertaken by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) between 2013 and 2015, under the aegis of the Let’s Talk TV (LTTV) initiative. They explore whether and how input provided by citizen-consumers during LTTV demonstrates activism through engagements in policy discussions. The article first delineates the timing and scope of activities conducted by the Canadian regulator to involve individual Canadians in reshaping digital television services. The CRTC’s early decisions are then compared to the authors’ analyses of input from hundreds of people invited to answer the CRTC’s general questions online. Comparing the decisions made to date with citizen-consumer responses, the article points to contradictions and disconnects between the authors’ findings and the CRTC’s initial decisions.

A predator-prey couple reflecting the dynamics of boreal and alpine ecosystems is the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) and the ptarmigan (Lagopus spp.). To determine how climate change may impact the alpine food web, we investigated how ptarmigan abundance and local weather impacts gyrfalcon diet and feeding behaviour, territory occupancy and reproductive success. Using wildlife cameras, we monitored gyrfalcon nests throughout the nesting period to collect data on diet and feeding behaviour. We quantified the gyrfalcon’s functional response by describing how ptarmigan kill rates relate to ptarmigan density. The gyrfalcon’s numerical demographic and aggregative response were quantified by describing how gyrfalcon reproductive success and territory occupancy, respectively, were related to ptarmigan density, using data from large scale monitoring projects. Ptarmigan were the dominant prey species, occupying 98% of the diet. The proportion of ptarmigan in the gyrfalcon diet, gyrfalcon breeding success, and gyrfalcon territory occupancy increased when spring arrived later, but reproductive success decreased with more snow during the nesting period. Gyrfalcon reproductive success was positively related to ptarmigan density, i.e., a positive numerical demographic response, but gyrfalcon territory occupancy or the ptarmigan kill rate were not related to ptarmigan density. These results indicate that the effect of climate change is not straightforward, and investigating how (a)biotic factors impact both prey and predator is relevant in predicting how a predator will respond to climate change. Following current climate predictions, onset of spring will become earlier, which will change the food web structure through prey availability and diversity, and through interactions with other species. This requires adaptations from gyrfalcons and other predators. We emphasize that the impact of climate change on predators and other species can be more accurately evaluated on a multi-species level, rather than individually.

This study attempted to illuminate the contemporaneity of the work of Pieter Bruegel the Elder(1525-1569) through the allegory of  and . In the mid-16th century, Spain suppressed the Netherlands politically and religiously. At this time, I wanted to clarify that Bruegel advocated the moral theme through allegory, but in reality, mentioned the situation at that time. In , Bruegel criticized Spain’s coercive rule and religious oppression through an original description of a war in which death is fought against living people. In , it was found that he intended to criticize Spain’s Dutch rule in Antwerp through a screen composition that combined an image expressing folktales and moral lessons with details that mean reality. Through this study, we hope to shed light on the active references to the contemporary era in Bruegel’s allegorical paintings, shed new light on the various aspects of the artist’s participation in the era through his works, and serve as an opportunity to reveal their historical significance.
Saint-Cyr through the Origins of Its Students : Focusing on Fleury Vindry’s Les Demoiselles de Saint-Cyr(1686-1793)

Saint-Cyr lies at the intersection of the Catholic Reformation and the aristocratic policies of Louis XIV in the late 17th century. As evidenced by the fact that it was founded with the administrative and economic support of the absolute monarch Louis XIV, Saint-Cyr was an expression of the political will of the monarch to ultimately hold sociocultural hegemony by fundamentally cultivating subjects who would obey to the national authority through women education which is both pious and compliant to the patriarchal order. In this sense, Saint-Cyr illustrates the correlation of politics and education during the French absolute monarchy. Based on Fleury Vindry’s Les Demoiselles de Saint-Cyr(1686-1793), this paper analyzes the origins of the students who enrolled at Saint-Cyr from its opening in 1686 to its closure in 1793. This analysis shows that, while there was a regional bias in the origins of Saint-Cyr’s students in the early days of Saint-Cyr, over time “fragmentation of recruitment” or, an even nationwide distribution from the most central to the most remote parts was shown. This suggests that Saint-Cyr was not a school to educate some girls of interested local noble families into cultured women, but rather functioned to nationally propagate the political goals of the absolute monarchy through women who would become “first teachers” for their children and virtuous wives for their husbands.

In today’s digital era, businesses are increasingly adopting digital marketing strategies to enhance brand awareness and foster customer loyalty. As online interactions grow, companies must adapt their marketing efforts to stay compet- itive and engage effectively with consumers. This research employs a mixed- method approach, using both qualitative and quantitative data from case studies of successful companies that have implemented digital marketing strategies. The study examines the role of social media, content marketing, and personalized communication in building brand awareness and loyalty. The study provides new insights into how personalized marketing efforts, including targeted cam- paigns and relevant content, help brands differentiate themselves in a crowded online marketplace. The findings show that consistent use of social media, en- gaging content, and personalization significantly boost brand awareness and fos- ter long-term customer loyalty. Personalization, in particular, strengthens cus- tomer relationships, leading to repeat purchases and advocacy. In conclusion, successful digital marketing requires an in-depth understanding of online con- sumer behavior and the application of tailored strategies. The effective inte- gration of social media, content marketing, and personalized messages enables businesses to build lasting customer relationships and gain a competitive edge in the digital marketplace

Background Major congenital anomalies (CAs) affect around 2% of live births and are a primary cause of infant mortality, childhood morbidity and long-term disability, often requiring hospitalisation and/or surgery. Children with CAs are at greater risk of lower educational attainment compared with their peers, which could be due to learning disabilities, higher rates of ill-health and school absences, or lack of adequate educational support. Our study will compare the educational attainment of children with CAs to those of their peers up to age 11 in England, using linked administrative health and education data. Methods We will analyse data from the ECHILD (Education and Child Health Insights from Linked Data) database. Children born in NHS-funded hospitals from 1st September 2003 to 31st August 2008 whose hospital records were linked to their educational records at three Key Stages (ages 4/5, 6/7 and 10/11 years) will be included. Children with different CAs, indicated by recorded hospital diagnosis codes, will be compared to children without CAs. We will compare the proportions of enrolled children who take the assessment, the proportions who reached national expected levels of attainment, and the mean standardised attainment scores for Maths and English at each Key Stage. We will describe variations in outcome by sex, ethnic minority background, region, and neighbourhood deprivation, and perform regression modelling to compare the attainment trajectories of children with and without CAs, controlling for sociodemographic factors. Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval has been obtained for the analyses of the ECHILD database. Our findings will provide information for parents regarding their children’s expected academic potential, and also enable the development of interventions to support those at risk of not doing well. We will disseminate our findings to academics, policy makers, service users and providers through seminars, peer-reviewed publications, conference abstracts and other media (lay summaries and infographics).
