Zastosowanie elementów Całościowej Oceny Geriatrycznej w leczeniu ran trudno gojących się u pacjentów w wieku podeszłym – przegląd piśmiennictwa
Authors: Teodorczyk Paulina , Różańska-Walędziak Anna
Published: October 2024

Odsetek udziału osób w wieku podeszłym w społeczeństwie stale wzrasta i według prognoz w 2060 r. wyniesie ok. 30%. Szacuje się, że w ciągu całego życia u 1–2% populacji wystąpią rany trudno gojące się. Wiek jest jednym z głównych czynników ryzyka nieprawidłowego gojenia się ran, co ma związek zarówno z fizjologicznym procesem starzenia, jak i z towarzyszącymi chorobami przewlekłymi. Całościowa Ocena Geriatryczna umożliwia identyfikację deficytów zdrowotnych i opiekuńczych pacjenta, a także potencjału wynikającego z zachowanych funkcji. Celem niniejszej pracy było przeanalizowanie wybranej literatury na temat Całościowej Opieki Geriatrycznej oraz możliwości jej zastosowania w opiece nad pacjentami w wieku podeszłym z ranami trudno gojącymi się. Jak wykazano, w procesie leczenia ran wykorzystywane są skale do oceny bólu, odżywienia i samoopieki, co podnosi jakość życia i daje efektywne wyniki leczenia. Wraz ze wzrostem liczby osób w wieku podeszłym w populacji, wzrastać będzie również zapotrzebowanie na objęcie ich multidyscyplinarną opieką. Na podstawie przeanalizowanych prac można wysunąć wniosek, że zastosowanie skali oceniających ryzyko depresji, zaburzeń poznawczych, ryzyka upadku oraz statusu socjoekonomicznego w procesie leczenia ran może pozwolić na stworzenie współpracy interdyscyplinarnej, ukierunkowanej na opiekę skoncentrowaną na pacjencie, z uwzględnieniem wsparcia opiekunów nieformalnych oraz optymalizacji kosztów związanych z leczeniem ran.
Demographic Aspects of Ukrainian Forced Migration to the Czech Re public Following the Russian Full-scale Invasion
Authors: KURYLO IRYNA
Published: October 2024

The paper examines the scale and dynamics of Ukrainian forced migration to the Czech Republic following the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the demographic characteristics of Ukrainian war migrants, and the impact of this migration wave on the demographic situation in the Czech Republic. The study aimed to analyze the specific features of migration caused by the full-scale war, its reflection in demographic statistics, and to define the demographic profile of Ukrainian war migration to the Czech Republic. The research utilized statistical data provided by the Czech Statistical Office (Český statistický úřad) and applied methods of systematization and generalization, structural-logical and comparative analysis, statistical methods of structure and dynamics analysis, graphical data representation, and others. This type of study regarding Ukrainian war migrants to the Czech Republic has been conducted for the first time. Among European countries, the Czech Republic ranks third in the number of forced migrants from Ukraine, accumulating 8.4 % of the total number of Ukrainian war migrants in the European Union. It was found that the reflection of this migration wave in demographic statistics is influenced by organizational and accounting circumstances, such as the terms and procedures for extending temporary protection for war migrants, and the lack of specific “markers” in the statistics of demographic events for persons under temporary protection. Ukrainian war migration in the year of the Russian full-scale invasion led to a record increase in positive migration balance in the Czech Republic and increase in the share of individuals with Ukrainian citizenship in this country. The forced war migration wave in 2022 affected the demographic composition of both individuals with Ukrainian citizenship and the entire population of the Czech Republic through an increased share of women, who predominate among war migrants, and a slight slowdown in ageing and an increase in the share of the working-age population for two consecutive years. Among Ukrainians under temporary protection in the Czech Republic, there is a particularly high share of women aged 35 to 45 and boys aged 17—18, and also high proportion of children aged 10 to 14. During the years of the full-scale war, the number of marriages registered between Ukrainians in the Czech Republic has increased. In 2022—2023, due to the wave of war migration, the number of newborns with Ukrainian citizenship in the Czech Republic significantly increased, and their share in the total number of births among foreigners rose (by almost 30 percentage points in two years), although the total fertility rate of Ukrainian women was noticeably lower than the national average. The number of deaths among individuals with Ukrainian citizenship also increased due to the influx of war migrants, but this had a negligible impact on the level of mortality.
Social Policy as a Factor Ensuring State Sustainability
Authors: KALASHNIKOVA TETIANA , GERASYMENKO IRYNA
Published: October 2024

In the conditions when Ukrainian statehood is facing the most serious challenge in its recent history, issues regarding state policy priorities in the social and economic sphere are becoming relevant. The goal of the article is to study the place and role of social policy in the process of ensuring the sustainability of the state. General scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, classification, system analysis, as well as a graphic method for visualization of the obtained results were used to form the main theses of the study. The work analyzes the modern scientific and theoretical platform and basic definitions of the concept of «sustainability», investigates the specifics and permanent context of the use of terms related to it — viability, stability and resilience, offers a systemic view of the state’s viability and identifies its components. Social policy is considered as an element of the management system of social processes, which directly affects the sustainability of Ukrainian society. At the current stage of development of the global economy, human is the main source of economic growth, and the quality of human potential is the key to the state’s competitiveness. Taking this into account, the importance of social and humanitarian policy is growing many times over. In economic policy, making a profit does not become a self-sufficient activity, instead the policy should be aimed at the person, unlocking the potential of the individual and forming the quality human potential of the state. Therefore, when assessing social policy, one should remember the value of a person, in particular the economic one, and the need for appropriate investments — in safety, health care system, and improving working conditions for the development of this resource. The work highlights the main elements of the state’s sustainability, shows the connection between its higher-level elements, such as the sustainability of the economy and the sustainability of society. It is in society — in the family, community, at the place of study — that the personality is formed and acquires a certain physical condition, education, professional skills and qualifications, and social connections. In this way, human and social capital is formed as a resource for the development of the economy and, accordingly, its stability and sustainability. At the same time, the economy generates material and financial resources that are necessary for both physical existence and development of an individual, as well as for the existence of society as a whole, in particular, social and engineering infrastructure facilities. The conducted analysis clearly demonstrates the importance of social policy as a social institution of sustainability in the state.
Influences on Bereaved Family Uptake of Chaplaincy Support when Viewing the Deceased Person
Authors: Kevern Peter , Walker Wendy , Jones Jennifer , Owen Stacey , Efstathiou Nikolaos
Published: October 2024

It is a belief widely held that hospital chaplains have a role to play in supporting bereaved relatives of patients, but research on the subject is sparse. The aim of this study was to examine factors that apparently influenced the decision to accept or refuse the offer of chaplaincy support through a case series study of ten bereaved family members who accessed an in-hospital “supported viewing service” following the sudden or unexpected death from natural causes of an adult relative. Data gathered at a UK hospital between October 2022 and April 2023 were subjected to qualitative content analysis. Analysis of the interview data yielded four categories that governed the decision: (1) Who decides? (2) Who benefits? (3) Role of religious preference and context. (4) Positive reasons for rejection. These indicate that the response to the offer of prayer is contingent on details of the biographical, temporal, social and religious context which need to be considered when the offer is made.
“We Got Tired”
Authors: Turpin Hugh
Published: October 2024

In this commentary, I raise the issue of how well we can distinguish between religious systems and those presided over by messianic “quasi-divine” leaders. This problematizes the degree to which all such systems can be described as ecologically functional when they can also be directed by the idiosyncratic whims of unstable charismatic individuals. Aside from such issues, I also raise the issue of how we can be sure that the “religious system” is reliably adaptive, if we may not have an accurate tally of such systems in the first place, particularly given the fact that religious studies scholars are incapable of providing a distinction between a “cult” that may contain but a few individuals and quickly “fail” due to its esoteric demands, and millennia-old traditions commanding millions of adherents and enforcing prosocial norms. I also raise two issues that have long bedevilled functionalist approaches but that do not make much of an appearance in Religion Evolving: Cultural, Cognitive, and Ecological Dynamics (Purzycki & Sosis 2022): the boundary problem and the Pangloss problem. Despite these reservations, I applaud the book both for its rigour and for providing a sorely needed template for analyzing religious systems within the cognitive and evolutionary study of religion (CESR). I close by tentatively suggesting that religion’s ubiquity lies not with its adaptiveness per se, but with its capacity to accelerate cultural evolution by causing societies to lock in values that may either be adaptive or maladaptive, making sacralization ubiquitous even when its outcomes can be destructive.
Chemical composition, physical properties, and sensory evaluation of wheat-based cookies enriched with different proportions of corn silk
Authors: A. Asiri Saeed , Matar Amal , Mahmoud Ismail Ahmed
Published: October 2024

Incorporating dried corn silk powder (CSP) into food products is considered beneficial for health and suitable for individuals of all ages. Thus, our study is designed to evaluate the effects of adding CSP to prepared cookies as a nontraditional source of dietary fiber and natural antioxidants, focusing on the chemical composition, physical properties, color attributes, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of fortified cookies. Different CSP proportions (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) replaced wheat flour (WF) with a 72% extraction rate. The results revealed that CSP had significant levels of total phenolic content (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC), measuring 86.42 mg GAE/g and 112.68 mg QE/g, respectively. CSP contained higher quantities of protein and fiber than WF, with values of 14.81 g and 15.21 g per 100 g of flour weight basis, respectively. The amounts of phenolic compounds in cookie samples increased proportionally with the increasing substitution of CSP, while total carbohydrates decreased. Adding CSP at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% resulted in corresponding increases in crude fiber of 0.52, 1.2, 2.04, and 2.7 times compared to the control cookie samples. As the amount of CSP supplementation increased (0–20%), TPC and TFC in the cookies increased to 3.06 and 4.08 mg GAE/g and 0.02 to 1.28 mg QE/g, respectively. Increasing CSP proportions led to a significant decrease in diameter, thickness, spread factor, volume, and density of fortified cookies. Furthermore, the L* value exhibited a substantial decline from 65.48 to 51.12 as the amount of CSP substitution increased from 5% to 20%. The sensory evaluation characteristics of the cookie samples indicated that the sample with 15% CSP had the highest overall acceptability score. Therefore, this study demonstrates that adding 15% CSP can effectively yield functional cookies without compromising their sensory acceptability.

Entertainment education: Communicating public health messages through dance
Authors: Rangiwhetu Lara , Winters Garrett , Pierse Nevil , Howden-Chapman Philippa
Published: October 2024

Public health communication, if done well, can make a significant positive contribution to people’s health. Entertainment education provides audiences with a creative and pleasurable experience to promote uptake of key messages. ‘Dance Your PhD’ entry views outnumber the majority of journal article citations, so the first author chose to partake in the competition to raise awareness of the poor quality of New Zealand housing and its impact on wellbeing, and explore non-traditional methods to communicate research findings. A range of dance styles were utilised in the film including contemporary, reggaeton, disco and salsa to illustrate various concepts including water ingress and mouldy housing conditions negatively impacting health. In a short timeframe, the dance film received a relatively large number of views on YouTube. Non-traditional forms of communicating research should be readily considered, as they provide a quick, accessible and memorable way of disseminating messages to a wide audience and can improve health literacy.

As performance dramaturg and researcher I participate in each weekly performance, remaining open and mindful of the myriad disturbances and effects of a dance performance in a public space. I have become more and more interested in how audience and performer negotiate physical space and how this effects understandings and a sense of participation. I outline my background as artist and researcher in order to give a context to my understandings and describe the performance, research methodology, and my analysis of two different proxemic zones between performer and audience.
Islamic Inclusivism: Insights From Abu Dhabi, Silaturahmi Tunnel, and Walisanga-Ende
Authors: Maku Hendrikus , Jahar Asep Saepudin , Bevans Stephen , Edu Ambros Leonangung
Published: October 2024

This article responds to the claim that Islam is a religion of violence, which has fostered a generation afflicted with Islamophobia. To support their argument, the authors present several historical instances that showcase Islam’s benevolent aspects. These historical instances, elaborated upon in this article, include the Abu Dhabi Brotherhood Declaration (A Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together), the Silaturahmi Tunnel connecting the Istiqlal Mosque and the Catholic Cathedral of Jakarta, and the interreligious cooperation occurring at the Walisanga Islamic Boarding School in Ende, Flores. Quraish Shihab’s Quranic exegesis serves as an analytical tool to examine these three instances. Data were collected through documentation, participant observation, and interviews, then qualitatively analyzed. Through this methodology, the study demonstrates that Islamic ethics and inclusive communal life have manifested an inclusive nature within Islam. By employing this selected method, the study demonstrates how elements of Islamic ethics and the ongoing inclusive communal life ingrained among people illustrate the inclusive nature of Islam.
Representations of Trust and Distrust in Financial Institutions in Russian Regional Speech Culture
Authors: Smyslova Olga Yu. , Linchenko Andrei A.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the representation of trust and distrust in financial institutions in the language and speech culture of the Russian province. The use of the constructivist methodology of P. Bourdieu made it possible to interpret trust as an internal component of the practices of an agent involved in the current situation in the financial market. The content analysis of 55 semi-structured interviews with three generations of residents of the region showed that the conservative model of financial behavior continues to be reproduced in the speech culture. The difference between generations is less noticeable against the background of a significant difference between residents of rural and urban settlements. The study revealed a high level of resentment associated with the collective memory of the collapse of the USSR and privatization. All generations in rural settlements showed a low level of assessment of their own financial situation, while both rural and urban informants had a rather pessimistic representation of social change. Semantic analysis revealed the dominance of the image of the state as a “collector of payments” in their consciousness, and to a lesser extent, an “assistant” supporting a person in their relationship with financial institutions.

The objective of this study was to verify and test the association between concern and negative emotions about climate change and depression, anxiety, and stress in students in Rio Grande, Brazil, before and after the 2024 extreme climate event. This is a quantitative study, with before and after measurements, with a single group. The questions measured the outcome: “Are you concerned about climate change?” and “Do you have negative emotions about climate change or thoughts and feelings that bad things could happen to the planet because of climate change?” The DASS-21 measured mental health. Adjusted analyses were conducted using linear regression, with results presented in beta coefficient and 95% CI. We observed an increasing concern (p=0.004) and negative emotions about the climate (p=0.019), depression (p=0.047), anxiety (p=0.043), and stress (p=0.010) symptoms from pre- to post-event. The depression score increased significantly in those who were concerned about climate change before and after the event (b=4.64, 95%CI=1.91; 7.38; p=0.006), as did depression and anxiety scores in those with negative emotions about the climate (b=5.11, 95%CI=1.59; 8.62; p=0.015; (b=4.43, 95%CI=1.28; 7.78; p=0.028, respectively). It is concluded that the students assessed increased their concern and negative emotions about the climate and deteriorated mental health after an extreme event.
A translation-matched, experimental comparison of three types of wh-island effects in Spanish and English
Authors: Pañeda Claudia , Villata Sandra , Kush Dave , Sprouse Jon
Published: October 2024

According to the historical empirical consensus in the field, wh-argument extraction from embedded wh-questions gives rise to island effects in English, but not in Spanish. This observation – which was important for the development of a parameters-based theory of cross-linguistic variation in islands – has recently been challenged by experimental studies showing wh-island effects in both languages. However, these studies typically employ different materials and experimental conditions between languages, limiting direct comparison. Our study addresses this limitation by testing wh-islands in both English and Spanish with translation-matched materials. We present twelve acceptability judgment experiments with approximately 100 participants per experiment. In each language, we examine wh-argument extraction from three wh-clause types (introduced by whether, why and when) under two matrix verb types (know and ask), amounting to six wh-islands that are relevant to assess the reported contrasts. We test (i) for the presence or absence of wh-island effects in the two languages, (ii) for a gradient contrast in effect size, and (iii) for evidence of increased individual variation in Spanish as compared to English. We find (i) that wh-island effects are present in both English and Spanish, (ii) that they are rather large in both languages and larger in Spanish for most wh-island types, and (iii) that Spanish does not show more individual variation in wh-island effects than English. Our results speak against the cross-linguistic contrast as originally proposed, suggesting that its use as evidence for theories that encode cross-linguistic variation in wh-island effects might need to be reconsidered.
Development Planning, Structural Heterogeneity and Social Policy in the Southern Cone (1960-1975)
Authors: Dvoskin Nicolas
Published: October 2024

This paper analyzes the role of economic and social development ideas in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay during the 1960s and early-70s, emphasizing on the role of social issues within the development planning agenda. The paper’s theoretical standpoint is the recognition of an important shift in the diagnosis of the Latin American economic backwardness around the mid-60s: from the underdevelopment hypothesis to the structural heterogeneity hypothesis. After an introduction of the theoretical discussions, the paper analyzes different official governmental documents from the four countries in order to find the role that social policy is expected to play within the economic development agenda in each case. Similarities and differences among the neighbors are specified in order to identify this conceptual shift, defined both theoretically and in the guidelines of public policy.
The Druze District Governor Nasib Beik Jumblatt and the Ottoman Policy in Mount Lebanon
Authors: Yildiz Tuba
Published: October 2024

This study examines the policies of the Ottoman Empire in the Shouf region during the 19th century, focusing on the prominent figures of the area. In this context, the Ottoman state's approach to the influence of Nasib Jumblatt, a significant political figure from the Jumblatt family, in the region will be discussed. As the Ottoman central government's authority weakened in the 19th century, the rivalry between the Jumblatts and Arslans, two long-standing families in the region, intensified. As a result, acquiring the district governorship of Shouf, where the Druze were densely populated, became crucial for perpetuating the influence of both families. For this reason, this study examines the political maneuvers of the Arslan and Jumblatt families in order to control the district of Shouf, as well as the activities of Nasib Jumblatt as district governor. The study will also discuss the manifestations of international interventions in Mount Lebanon. Finally, the Ottoman state's approach to the British influence in shaping Nasib Jumblatt's political identity will be another aspect of the study.
AVALIAÇÃO DA CAPACIDADE DISPERSORA DE SEMENTES DA TARTARUGA CABEÇUDO Peltocephalus dumerilianus (SCHEWEIGGER, 1812) NO CENTRO DE ESTUDOS DE QUELÔNIOS DA AMAZÔNIA – CEQUA
Authors: Ferreira Jeberson da Silva , Oliveira Sabrina Menezes de , Viana Maria das Neves da Silva , Brolio Marina Pandolphi
Published: October 2024

O Peltocephalus dumerilianus geralmente habita o fundo de corpos d'água, muitas vezes abrigando-se em cavidades ou sob troncos de árvores submersas. Por muitos anos foi considerado um predador ativo de fundo baseado na morfologia de sua cabeça. Sua dieta pode ter uma alta porcentagem de folhas, frutos e sementes, e algumas sementes não digeridas são observadas em seu intestino, podendo ser associadas como responsáveis por interações ecológicas. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a capacidade dispersora de sementes do quelônio Peltocephalus dumerilianus e analisar o sucesso germinativo das sementes após a passagem pelo trato digestivo. O projeto foi executado com 16  animais do Centro de Estudos dos Quelônios da Amazônia. Os cabeçudos foram alimentados duas vezes por semana e mantidos em observação durante 21 dias. Para determinação do trânsito intestinal os animais foram separados em caixas d’água, 36 horas após a alimentação foi observado o primeiro registro de fezes. Entender o tempo de trânsito intestinal orientou o padrão de oferta de frutos e coleta das sementes nas fezes. As sementes de mamão que passaram pelo trato digestivo do cabeçudo germinaram em nove dias tendo sucesso de 100% das sementes germinadas. As primeiras sementes de murici foram encontradas no tanque dos cabeçudos 3 dias após a ingestão dos frutos, e foram plantadas no dia seguinte. Obtivemos 67% de germinação 70 dias após o plantio. Baseados na redução do tempo de germinação, podemos inferir que houve quebra da dormência das sementes que passaram pelo trato digestório do cabeçudo e que o sucesso de germinação foi maior quando comparado com as sementes in natura. Desta forma concluimos que  Peltocephalus dumerilianus pode ser considerado um bom dispersor de sementes, contribuindo para o reflorestamento natural.
Thinking citizenship through lived experiences of highly skilled migrants in Budapest
Authors: Sönmez Gioftsios Pınar Dilan , Özçürümez Saime
Published: October 2024

This study aims to understand and explain the concept of citizenship by analyzing the lived experiences of highly skilled migrants reflecting on their everyday transnational lives in the urban setting of Budapest. Based on the discourse analysis of 30 semi-structured interviews conducted in Budapest in the Fall of 2022, the study thinks through lived citizenship experiences to understand how and why these experiences matter for the formation of subjective citizenship understanding. This study suggests that the concept of lived citizenship embodies a complex narrative of everyday socio-economic, socio-cultural, and emotional experiences that go beyond what the legal status depicts. Citizenship experiences of highly skilled migrants present a process of negotiating cultural and moral cosmopolitanism with constructive patriotism in everyday lives in the urban context. The study advances the thinking on the foundation, manifestations, and operationalization of lived citizenship as experiences of belonging and coexistence, presenting a unique contribution to the production of knowledge on highly skilled migration in Hungary. This article proposes that citizenship entails a complex relational dimension and includes a life-long learning process with continual meaning-making through life experiences that transcends the consequences of the legal status within a given nation-state.
A Machine Learning Approach to Adapt Local Land Use Planning to Climate Change
Authors: Forster Julia , Bindreiter Stefan , Uhlhorn Birthe , Radinger-Peer Verena , Jiricka-Pürrer Alexandra
Published: October 2024

The impacts on living conditions and natural habitats deriving from planning decisions require complex analysis of cross-acting factors, which in turn require interdisciplinary data. At the municipal level, both data collection and the knowledge needed to interpret it are often lacking. Additionally, climate change and species extinction demand rapid and effective policies in order to preserve soil resources for future generations. Ex-ante evaluation of planning measures is insufficient owing to a lack of data and linear models capable of simulating the impacts of complex systemic relationships. Integrating machine learning (ML) into systemic planning increases awareness of impacts by providing decision-makers with predictive analysis and risk mitigation tools. ML can predict future scenarios beyond rigid linear models, identifying patterns, trends, and correlations within complex systems and depicting hidden relationships. This article focuses on a case study of single-family houses in Upper Austria, chosen for its transferability to other regions. It critically reflects on an ML approach, linking data on past and current planning regulations and decisions to the physical environment. We create an inventory of categories of areas with different features to inform nature-based solutions and backcasting planning decisions and build a training dataset for ML models. Our model predicts the effects of planning decisions on soil sealing. We discuss how ML can support local planning by providing area assessments in soil sealing within the case study. The article presents a working approach to planning and demonstrates that more data is needed to achieve well-founded planning statements.
A systematic review of lithium biology and pharmacology and toxicological evaluation of new organic lithium salts
Authors: Torshin I. Yu. , Gromova O. A. , Rastashansky V. V. , Garanin A. A.
Published: October 2024

Objective: to systematize scientific data on biomedical studies investigating trace element lithium over the past 70 years; evaluate toxic properties of lithium ascorbate (LiAsc) as an important promising candidate molecule.

Material and methods. An analysis of 49,959 publications on lithium biomedical research retrieved from PubMed/MEDLINE database was carried out using modern data mining methods developed within the framework of topological approach to recognizing (Yu.I. Zhuravlev scientific school). Publications found by experts and not indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE were used in discussing the results of a systematic analysis of publications array retrieved from PubMed/MEDLINE. An experimental study of chronic 180 day-long LiAsc (at doses of 5, 50 and 150 mg/kg) toxicity was performed on 36 “Soviet chinchilla” rabbits by assessing local irritant action. Intoxication clinical picture, body weight dynamics, water and food intake as well as physiological, hematological and biochemical parameters were analyzed.

Results. Classification and systematization of all currently available publications on lithium biology and medicine were performed. It was shown that pharmacological applications of lithium salts in mental disorders as well as lithium effects on simple sugars metabolism, lipid metabolism, blood pressure regulation, hematopoiesis, inflammation and tumor growth inhibition, neurotransmitter homeostasis, neurotrophic and neuroprotective molecular mechanisms as well as homeostasis of other electrolytes comprised promising fields of lithium drug research. The prospects for using organic lithium salts, particularly LiAsc, for various therapeutic goals were also discussed. 180-day-long oral administration of LiAsc at doses of 5, 50, 150 mg/kg resulted in no macroscopic signs of local inflammatory reaction while examining its local irritant effect.

Conclusion. The lithium-ion effect on neurotransmitters promotes neuroprotection and reduces a risk of addiction. The antihypertensive, antiatherosclerotic, antidiabetic, antitumor and neurotrophic effects related to organic lithium salts may be beneficial in various therapeutic applications.
Mikhail Mikhailovich Speransky and the Development of Russian Legal Statehood in the 21st Century
Authors: Sinyukov V. N. , Sinyukov S. V.
Published: October 2024

The paper is devoted to the 250th anniversary of the outstanding statesman of Russia Mikhail Mikhailovich Speransky. The authors set the task in a short essay to combine the analysis of state, legal and stylistic aspects of the reformer’s activities. A special feature of the research methodology is the combination of studying the essence and results of Speransky’s program of state reforms with the ideological struggle around liberal and conservative alternatives to the development of Russia; an attempt at ideological identification of Russian statehood and the rule of law of the 19th century. The conclusion is made about the significant role of Speransky in the formation of the foundations of Russian constitutionalism, in the development of conceptual ideas about the constitutional order of the activities of the highest state authorities. The paper examines Speransky’s key approaches to the systematization of Russian law. It is concluded that at the beginning of the 19th century Russian legal architecture has been identified based on the historical experience of the Russian incorporation of the 16th–17th centuries. The priority way of its development means continuous incorporation, the continuous implementation of new norms unfolding over time into the fundamental structural matrix. Speransky showed     that law is a unity of a suprasystem nature that goes far beyond the limits of individual normative complexes. The paper elucidates the tasks of a new stage in the development of modern Russian legislation in the context of systematization of Russian law in the first half of the 19th century. It is concluded that the nature of the Russian legal form means legal constructivism that allows creating and regulating social relations of a complex nature rather than universalism of sectoral codifications. The analysis of the legal aspects of Speransky’s state activity is carried out in close connection with the characteristic style of his analytical work. It is concluded that Speransky acted as a statesman of a new type, whose personality was commensurate with the challenges and trends of the development of Russian statehood in Modern times.
Lack of Consent to Sexual Intercourse and the Fault of the Rape Survivor under U.S. Criminal Law
Authors: Nagornaya I. I.
Published: October 2024

The greatest attention to the lack of consent to sexual intercourse as a mandatory feature of rape is paid under the US criminal law. This issue is closely related to the main changes in US state legislation that have occurred as a result of a departure from the traditional understanding of rape as a crime. There are three approaches to understanding the term «consent» in doctrine and legislation, namely, «no means no», «yes means yes» and a negotiation model. Each model imposes features on the process of establishing the fault of the subject and the rapist’s possible error in consent. Difficulties arise when the subject and the victim are intoxicated. Based on the experience of the United States, recommendations are formulated that are useful for the Russian legislator and law enforcement officer. It is not necessary to consolidate any model of consent to sexual intercourse in the criminal law, as well as to abandon signs of the use of violence, the threat of its use or the use of the helpless state of the victim. It is required to distinguish harassment and overcoming the will of the victim, to assess the silence of the victim, victim’s words and actions, finding out whether the victim’s will was distorted. A woman has the right to withdraw her consent after sexual intercourse starts, in which case, if there are other signs of a crime, the   continuation of sexual intercourse against the will of the victim is qualified as rape.

These four causes of phubbing—smartphone addiction, internet addiction, social media addiction, and gaming addiction—are interconnected. The purpose of this article is to develop an instrument that counselors can use to determine the level of phubbing behavior among students in their school by testing its validity and reliability. The steps taken include: (1) determining aspects of the phubbing behavior scale, (2) formulating phubbing behavior scale indicators, (3) formulating phubbing behavior scale descriptors, (4) compiling phubbing behavior scale statement items, (5) testing validity, and (6) testing the reliability of the instrument. The 143 respondents consisted of students from several schools, including Maharani Pharmacy Vocational School Malang, National Vocational School Malang, State Senior High School 1 Gambiran, Widyagama High School Malang, Dr. Soetomo High School, and Vocational High School Darissulaimaniyyah. All respondent schools were located in East Java, Indonesia. After obtaining data from the students, it was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 to test the validity and reliability of the phubbing behavior scale. The phubbing behavior scale indicators were derived from aspects such as communication disorders and obsession with cell phones. The scale, initially composed of 23 statement items, was found to have one invalid item, number 13, after testing. Thus, the remaining valid items totaled 22.

Published: October 2024

La situación de crisis por la que atraviesa Europa desde hace años ha provocado un aumento considerable de los procesos de reestructuración empresarial, muchos de los cuales implican un redimensionamiento de plantillas al amparo de las nuevas oportunidades que ofrece la reforma laboral de 2012. Todo proceso de reestructuración perturba el sistema de valores asentado en el seno de la organización y, por consiguiente, provoca efectos telúricos sobre los cimientos que basamentan la cultura organizacional. Precisamente, en este trabajo se pone de manifiesto que las facilidades que ofrece la reforma laboral para acometer procesos de reestructuración y redimensionamiento de plantillas provoca consecuencias directas sobre los valores en los que se sustenta la cultura organizativa, afectando así a la posibilidad de aplicar ciertas prácticas orientadas al desarrollo de los recursos humanos en la empresa.
German Employment Policies as Good Employment Practices

Published: October 2024

German active employment policies have reached a high success along the years, thus becoming a model for many countries. But all models must be measured and examined under the focus of its circumstances, and a direct transposition to other countries could fail when those circumstances are not found in the host country. Spain has implemented the dual apprenticeship model and the «kurzarbeit» model, but they seem not enough to cope with the traditional Spanish model of contracts for limited duration. The way in which the Spanish legislation has adapted these two models could serve to analyze the hardships and difficulties of the convergence politics.

Published: October 2024

The integration of technology in education, particularly through the combination of adaptive learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), has significantly transformed teaching and learning methodologies. This paper addresses the challenges associated with manually planning study paths and modules at universities, including the ordering of relationships between modules across various disciplines. It considers the prerequisites and competencies required for each module and highlights several limitations, such as the extensive time and resources required, subjectivity in decision-making, and the complexities introduced by the LMD system. To address these challenges, a decision support system utilizing genetic algorithms is proposed to increase the efficiency and objectivity of academic career planning. The system analyzes a dataset that includes information on study units, modules, competencies, and learning objectives. Genetic algorithms, which incorporate mutation, crossover, and selection processes, are used to generate coherent and suitable study paths. The system was tested using data from the Faculty of Science and Technology at Tangier, demonstrating its capacity to adapt existing academic pathways and propose enhanced alternatives with improved consistency. The results indicate the potential of the system to enhance the quality of academic career planning within the modular educational framework.

Published: October 2024

Education that reflects the fast growth of technology must be considerably enhanced, for instance, through learning media. Charles Prosser played a crucial role in engineering education by establishing standards for the field. In line with this legacy, the current study aims to examine the impact of focused immersion, digital literacy, and learning motivation on learning methods and the academic success of engineering students. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional survey design was used to engage 420 students from the Faculty of Engineering at an Indonesian institution. Based on the data analysis, the structural equation model (SEM) was considered, and the results showed that focused immersion (p = 0.000), digital literacy (p = 0.014), and learning motivation (p = 0.000) served as mediators between learning methods and academic achievement in Prosser’s theory, as can be seen from the significant value of p<0.05. Ultimately, the results of this research contribute to understanding the important role of focused immersion, digital literacy, and learning motivation in improving
