“I fear death now, which before I wanted.”: Understanding Canine Companionship for Those Living with the Chronic Condition of Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
Authors: Stephens-Lewis Danielle , Schenke Kimberley Caroline , Foster Joanna
Published: September 2024

The benefits of canine companionship on health and wellbeing are increasingly recognised for their therapeutic potential for people living with chronic conditions. However, contradictory findings suggests that there are differences in the extent to which individual populations benefit from this companionship. Whilst evidence suggests that living with a dog can provide a therapeutic lifeline for many vulnerable groups, there is a lack of contextualized understanding about the specific experiences and mechanisms involved. This study addresses this gap by being the first, to our knowledge, to explore the experiences of dog guardianship within those living with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Recruited participants (n = 23) selected their preferred data collection method: semi-structured interviews, qualitative online surveys, or online photo journal in sharing their experiences of canine companionship. A Reflexive Thematic Analysis revealed six overarching themes: An Affinity, Balancing Dogs and EDS, Purpose, Good Habits, Saviour and Navigating Social Connections. Findings highlight the vital contribution that a close canine bond can make in terms of health, wellbeing and personal motivation, for some providing the very reason to live. The study also identifies unique challenges of canine guardianship for individuals with hEDS, suggesting key areas for future research. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the percieved therapeutic benefits and challenges of canine companionship, offering valuable insights for healthcare professionals and caregivers.

The UK experienced an unprecedented heatwave in 2022, with temperatures reaching 40°C for the first time in recorded history. This extreme heat was accompanied by widespread fires across London and elsewhere in England, which destroyed houses and prompted evacuations. While attribution studies have identified a strong human fingerprint contributing to the heatwave, no studies have attributed the associated fires to anthropogenic influence. In this study, we assess the contribution of human-induced climate change to fire weather conditions over the summer of 2022 using simulations from the HadGEM3-A model with and without anthropogenic emissions, and apply the Canadian Fire Weather Index. Our analysis reveals at least a 6-fold increase in the probability of very high fire weather in the UK due to human influence, most of which is driven by high fire conditions across England. These findings highlight the significant role of human-induced climate change in the emerging threat of wildfires in the UK. As we experience more hotter and drier summers as temperatures continue to rise, the frequency and severity of fires are likely to increase, posing significant risks to both natural ecosystems and human populations. This study underscores the need for further research to quantify the changing fire risk due to our changing climate, and the urgent requirement for mitigation and adaptation efforts to address the growing wildfire threat in the UK.
Physiological correlates of numeracy in higher education
Authors: Lunardon Maristella , Cerni Tania , Zanon Marco , Rumiati Raffaella I
Published: September 2024

Physiological responses offer a promising avenue for investigating emotional states associated with task performance. Yet, studies examining the physiological correlates of mathematical performance remain limited and conflicting. Here we investigated the relationship between numeracy and three measures of physiological arousal (salivary cortisol, skin conductance, and heart rate variability) among 130 university students. We aimed to determine whether these associations varied across different levels of trait math anxiety and neuroticism. Results reveal that enhanced numeracy was linked to an increase in cortisol overall and to either increase or decrease in skin conductance in students with low neuroticism depending on their field of study. Furthermore, distinct profiles of math anxiety, neuroticism, and physiological response emerged, displaying different numeracy performance. No modulation by math anxiety and gender was found. These findings emphasise the importance of incorporating neuroticism and students’ field of study for a comprehensive interpretation of physiological arousal in relation to numeracy.
Civic Identity Consisting of Moral and Political Identity among Young Adults
Authors: Han Hyemin , Dawson Kelsie J
Published: September 2024

In the present study, we tested whether civic identity consisting of moral and political identity via the bifactor model of civic identity with the Stanford Civic Purpose dataset. Previous research in youth development proposed that civic identity consists of two closely related identity constructs, i.e., moral and political identity. Given the bifactor model in factor analysis assumes the presence of both the general and specific factors, we hypothesized that the bifactor model would better fit the data than conventional alternative models. Thus, we compared the candidate models, including the bifactor model, with confirmatory factor analysis. To address the concern about the potential overfitting of the bifactor model, we additionally conducted cross-validation and measurement invariance tests across different gender groups and time points. The analysis results supported our hypothesis that the bifactor model better fitted the data. Both the cross-validation and measurement invariance test results suggested that the overfitting issue was not a significant concern. In the present study, we empirically demonstrated that the bifactor model of civic identity consisting of moral and political identity, which was supposed to be more consistent with the theoretical and conceptual framework of civic identity, better fitted the data than conventional alternative models.

Authors: Bimali Ganesh
Published: September 2024

Safe motherhood is a critical issue in reproductive health, and the role of husbands is vital in ensuring the safety and well-being of mothers. This study aims to examine the practices of antenatal care, delivery care, and postnatal care among married men and women of reproductive age (15-49). The study utilizes primary data collected through questionnaires, supplemented with information from secondary sources.
The sample size for this study consisted of 170 households, selected through snowball sampling. The criteria for inclusion in the sample were households with at least one childbirth involving both the woman and her husband. The sample areas were selected using cluster 2 and 3, determined through a lottery method.
While the search results did not provide specific studies directly related to the objectives of this study, they did offer insights into related topics such as reproductive health and maternal care. For example, one study emphasized the importance of birth preparedness for clean delivery and referral, as well as newborn care. Another study highlighted the need for comprehensive sex education to mitigate teenage pregnancy. In conclusion, this study on safe motherhood and the role of husbands in reproductive health aims to shed light on the practices of antenatal care, delivery care, and postnatal care among married men and women. By examining these practices, it is hoped that strategies can be developed to improve the safety and well-being of mothers during the reproductive process.

The Impact of Parental Involvement, Parent-Teacher Communication, and Study Environment on the Academic Success of Bachelor Students: A Case Study of Bachelor Level Students.
Authors: Phuyal Pradeep
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement among bachelor-level students, focusing on specific forms of parental engagement and influencing factors.
Methodology: A sample of 225 students from various colleges in Koshi Province was analyzed using Pearson correlation tests and regression analysis. Data were collected through Google Forms, examining how parental involvement correlates with academic success across different demographics.
Findings: The study reveals a positive correlation between increased parental involvement and academic achievement (r = 0.544, p = 0.000). Effective parent-teacher communication (r = 0.676, p = 0.001) and a supportive study environment (r = 0.695, p = 0.000) are significant factors influencing academic success. The regression model, incorporating these factors, accounts for a substantial portion of the variance in student achievement (R² = 0.4872, F(3, 221) = 2.809, p = 0.040). The model demonstrates no issues of multi-collinearity (VIF values between 1.211 and 2.142), no heteroscedasticity (student deleted residuals between -2.331 and 2.550, Cook’s Distance maximum at 0.053), and no outliers or excessive leverage (centered leverage values between .001 and .105).
Implications: Enhancing parental involvement, fostering positive study environments, and improving parent-teacher communication are crucial for supporting academic success in bachelor-level students.
Value: This study enhances understanding of academic achievement's multifaceted nature and underscores the need for collaboration between parents and educational institutions to boost students' academic performance.

Published: September 2024

Communication is the main factor influencing the success of mitigating the Covid-19 pandemic in remote Baduy tribe areas. Traditional lifestyle practices in daily activities reflect the life of the Baduy tribe who are always guided by the tribe's cultural norms (pikukuh). It was found that there were no positive cases of Covid-19 in the Baduy tribe community. The aim of the study was to find out the communication strategy that the Puun (the highest cultural leader in Baduy Tribe) and the Jaro Pamarentah (Head of the village) emphasized in order to shape the social perceptions of the Baduy Tribe to avoid transmission of Covid-19. The research was conducted using qualitative methods with constructivism paradigm. This research shows that the perception of the Baduy Tribe is formed through the central role of the Puun and the Jaro Pamarentah through a cultural approach by giving an appeal that the Covid-19 outbreak is very dangerous based on the reality that is happening to the surrounding community. By implementing pikukuh in carrying out their daily life it is suggested that it protected them from the threat of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Medical education blueprint: Building a postgraduate social medicine rotation
Authors: Tang Xinxin , Ge Shiliang , Chang Nicole , Sandre Anthony , O'Shea Tim , Martin Leslie , Lu Clara
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

The physician as health advocate is an important concept in postgraduate medical education and accreditation. However, the integration of non-medical expert competencies into residency training remains challenging. The lack of social medicine curricula in Canadian internal medicine postgraduate training highlights the need for innovation in developing effective health advocacy educational interventions.

Methods:

Since 2018, the McMaster Social Medicine Rotation has provided experiential learning based on six pillars: inner city health and addictions, chronic illness and disability, Indigenous health, newcomer health, anti-racism in healthcare, and 2SLGBTQ+ and sexual health. Two- or four-week rotations provide residents with exposure to the care of marginalized populations through outpatient clinics and the inpatient Substance Use Service.

Results:

Over 30 residents have completed this elective rotation to date. Residents’ evaluations indicated a score of 4.79 out of 5 for the overall rotation experience and highlighted clinical experience, level of supervision, and promotion of learning as strengths.

Discussion:

Strong resident leadership and longitudinal community engagement are vital in building an effective postgraduate Social Medicine Rotation. Beyond didactic teaching, health advocacy education should prioritize experiential and community-based learning.
Medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic and the process of professional identity formation: Resident perspectives from a North American training program
Authors: Dhhar Gousia , Marwaha Seema , Rassos James
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced immediate changes to the delivery of medical education globally. At the University of Toronto, traditional in-person group learning and bedside teaching were replaced by virtual learning. The ensuing professional and social isolation impacted the centuries-old art of medicine and socialization into communities of practice (COPs).

Methods:

The authors explored the perceived impact of the pandemic on the education and training of internal medicine (IM) residents at the University of Toronto and how it may have affected the process of their professional identity formation (PIF). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine IM residents using a constructivist grounded theory approach.

Results:

Residents discussed the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on their learning, training, and wellness. They appreciated the convenience of virtual asynchronous learning but were concerned about the loss of bedside teaching, procedural opportunities, and varied clinical exposure. They considered the impact of the pandemic on their future practice and the absence of community building. They acknowledged how personal and patient stressors, social and professional isolation, and loss of coping strategies affected their wellness.

Discussion:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the educational and training experiences and wellness of IM residents at the University of Toronto. It altered both clinical and nonclinical experiences and residents’ socialization into COPs—all critical to PIF. Various recommendations to support residents in their PIF process are discussed. A future area of research is how PIF evolves in the coming years, given the pandemic's unprecedented impact on professional training and community building.

Published: September 2024

The modern strategy for the development of underground coal mining in the Karaganda basin provides for the development of the concept of reforming the mining fund, ensuring a high level of concentration and intensification of mining operations with increasing the load on the treatment face to 5-6 thousand tons per day. At the same time, the main deterrent factor is the high methane content of the coal seams of the basin, which reaches 30-40 m3/t of coal. The high gas content of the coal seams being developed and their satellites is one of the main causes of methane explosions in mines, leading to violations of the technological regime and irretrievable loss of life. The problem of degassing minefields has always been and is among the priority areas that require prompt solutions. Gas dynamic phenomena and sudden methane emissions are accompanied by human casualties, and large material and financial losses, and are 25-30% of the cause of the total number of accidents that occurred in coal mines of the CIS countries in the last decade. The article evaluates progressive methods of degassing high-gas-bearing, explosive formations to reduce the methane content and ensure the safety of the operation of coal mines in the Karaganda region, taking into account modern experience and achievements in this field.
Side Effects of Modern Chemical Disinfectants and Antiseptics. Part 2. Non-allergic and Allergic Effects due to their Inhalation Penetration into the Body
Authors: Britsun V. M. , Popova I. V. , Kovaleva S. A. , Petrenko T. V.
Published: September 2024

Abstract. We collected, summarized, systematized and analyzed information (49 articles, mainly over the last 10 years) about the non-allergenic and allergenic effects of disinfectants (D) and antiseptics (A) when they enter into the body by inhalation. It has been shown that these compounds are toxic and, when absorbed through the respiratory system, cause side effects, including allergy symptoms. When disinfecting premises, high local concentrations of pollutants in the air are possible, which can cause coughing, irritation of the eyes and nasal mucous membranes, lacrimation, runny nose, headache, sinusitis, deterioration of lung function, development of pneumonitis, and attacks of bronchial asthma. Swimming in pools with chlorinated water also has certain risks, the consequences of which can be irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory system, rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonitis, bronchiolitis, and asthma. The aim of the study. Search, collection, summarization, systematization and analysis of information (mainly in the last 10 years) about the non-allergenic and allergenic effects of disinfectants and antiseptics, when they enter the body by inhalation. Materials and methods. Literary search of information, its analytical study and discussion. Results. 49 scientific articles were found, summarized and systematized. They inform about the non-allergenic and allergenic properties of disinfectants and antiseptics when inhaled into the body. The material is classified according to the chemical structure of D and A. Conclusions. All D and A (aldehydes, peroxide and chlorine-containing compounds, alcohols, quaternary ammonium salts, guanidine derivatives) are chemically reactive and toxic compounds. In the form of vapor or aerosol, they penetrate in the respiratory system and primarily affect the mucous membranes of the lungs. Therefore, in the fight against infectious diseases using chemical disinfection methods, it is necessary to take into account the balance between the reduction of harmful microorganisms, chronic poisoning of personnel and the spread of allergic reactions to D and A. Representatives of the professions that are most affected by their side effects (medical personnel and cleaners) must work with emergency protection and hazardous conditions not only in overalls and rubber gloves, but also in personal respiratory protection (rubber gas masks with carbon filters).

Published: September 2024

Olivine grains from the Seymchan pallasite were studied using optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Olivine is characterized by the presence of hollow straight channels 1 µm wide and inclusions of hollow negative crystals of prismatic habit 1–2 µm thick. The channels are oriented parallel to [001] of olivine and developed along [001] screw dislocations. The elongation axes of negative crystals are also oriented parallel to [001]. In the channels, hollow segments alternate with segments filled with metallic iron. Negative crystals are crystallographically faceted voids in olivine; the largest of them contain inclusions of metallic iron. The rectilinear configuration and crystallographic orientation of the channels correspond to the characteristics of [001] screw dislocations, which allows us to consider [001] dislocations as channel precursors. The data obtained demonstrate for the first time the evolution of [001] dislocations in olivine as a result of the reduction of divalent iron during the interaction of olivine with the host FeNi metal. A model is proposed for the transformation of dislocations with the formation of channels and hollow negative crystals in Seymchan olivine in accordance with one of the reactions:
2Fehost+ (Mg1−nFen)2SiO4 = 2n[FeO]host + [nSiO2 + 2nFe0 + (1 − n)Mg2SiO4 + 2nv2− + 2nv2+ ]ol,
2Fehost+ (Mg1−nFen)2SiO4 = 2n[FeO]host + [nMgSiO3 + nFe0 + (1 − n)Mg2SiO4 + nv2− + nv2+ ]ol.
According to the model, at T 1000°C the reduction process is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of Fe0 and associated vacancies (v2- and + v2+) in dislocation zones. Voids in channels and in negative crystals are products of the annihilation of anionic and cationic structural vacancies having opposite charges. Phase association formed in this solid-phase transformation of olivine corresponds to the either OSI (olivine → SiO2 + 2Fe0) or OPI (olivine → pyroxene + Fe0) buffer equilibrium. The results can be used for reconstruction of the thermal and shock histories of different types of pallasites.

The genesis of international banking regulation: A literature review using text analysis
Authors: Fedorova E. A. , Meshkova E. I. , Nevredinov A. R.
Published: September 2024

This paper reviews the publications on the development of banking regulation and identifies the major topics within this research area. The aim of this study is to summarize the empirical evidence of the academic literature on banking regulation for the last 30 years. For the systematic review we use a range of databases. To reach this aim we combine the elements of technical text analysis and method of expert assessment. To identify the major topics within the research area of banking regulation we develop a complex methodology based on text analysis which includes: principal component analysis, clustering, social network analysis. This approach differentiates our study from the similar ones. The primary result is a systematic review of academic literature that estimates the outcomes of banking regulation from Basel I to Basel III. Using a variety of methods we not only identify the key topics but also systematized the findings according to each topic. The implementation of the BCBS Agreements (Basel I–III) helped to improve financial stability and reduce the probability of banks’ default. At the same time, the analysis showed, in general, a negative assessment of the impact of capital adequacy regulation on the lending activity of banks, on the bank interest margin and, accordingly, the efficiency of banking activities. In some cases, it is confirmed that the increase in market discipline and the expansion of the supervisory powers of the authorities (Basel II) leads to an increase in banking efficiency. The study contributes to the existing literature in several aspects. 1. We cover various aspects of estimation of banking regulation development, namely, its impact on the financial stability of banks, on their lending activity and efficiency. 2. The study covers a broad range of publications over the last 30 years including highly-cited papers as well as the recent articles. We examine the issues dynamically: from Basel I to Basel III. 3. We use text analysis to identify and systematize the key topics within the selected research area and to evaluate the empirical evidence.
Hybrid approach to modeling labor productivity factors: Synthesis of randomized controlled experiments and causal Bayesian networks
Authors: Orlova E. V.
Published: September 2024

Solving the problem of effective management of labor productivity of company employees, taking into account many heterogeneous factors, often of a stochastic, non-stationary and non-linear nature, embedded in complex chains of cause-and-effect interactions in the context of digital transformation of the economy presents certain difficulties. The paper proposes a technology that ensures, with a high degree of certainty, the establishment of causal relationship between the implementation of alternative management decisions and the productivity of company employees, and is designed to select solutions based on an assessment of the effect of their impact on labor productivity. The novelty of the proposed technology is based on a hybrid approach to modeling the object of study and combines two models. First model – a structural model built on the basis of a priori knowledge of the laws of functioning and development and providing a causal understanding of the object and capable of predicting the effect of factors (explicit and indirect). Second model – a model based on data, which is tuned (adapted) taking into account empirical data obtained as a result of observation (measurement) of an object. The developed technology uses heterogeneous research methods —a randomized controlled experiment to obtain information about the tested activities, statistical data analysis —descriptive data analysis, correlation and regression analysis, the difference-difference method to establish a causal relationship between the implemented event and the growth of labor productivity, a Bayesian network of causality for building and analyzing a structural model of an object and explaining the causal relationships of explicit and hidden factors that affect labor productivity in the context of the implementation of measures. Of practical significance are the results of testing the proposed theoretical provisions, methods and technologies on actual data on the activities of a food service company. The results obtained will contribute to the effective use of the developed technology aimed at ensuring the growth of labor productivity under uncertainty in the external and internal environment and will contribute to the sustainable development of companies and the growth of its profitability.
African transnational business
Authors: Kuznetsov A. V.
Published: September 2024

The article presents results of the analysis of African transnational corporations (TNCs) which is a relatively new phenomenon. Based on contradictory statistical data, the author presents data on the leading sources of legal capital outflows in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa. The specifics of FDI outflows from South Africa, Arab countries of North Africa, Nigeria and other significant countries of Tropical Africa are shown. The importance of cooperation between Russian companies and African TNCs in the investment development of Africa is emphasized. It is argued that without strengthening Russian direct investors on this continent, it is impossible to expect further significant growth in Russia’s foreign trade turnover with African countries, which accounted for only 3.5% of its volume in 2023.
The author notes that if Russia’s turn towards the global South is limited to strengthening ties with two or three dozen Asian countries, it is unlikely that Russia will be able to take leading positions in the emerging polycentric world order. The support of African states freed from European colonial oppression is necessary in the confrontation with the collective West, but the attitude towards the policy of the Russian Federation is largely associated with the intensity of economic contacts.
US-China Rivalry in the Middle East: Implications for Regional and Global Policies
Authors: Bobkin Nikolay N.
Published: September 2024

The recent agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran to restore diplomatic relations has been a game-changer in the security dynamics of the Middle East. Notably, this agreement was negotiated under the auspices of Beijing, suggesting that China's diplomatic approach in the region might be more effective than that of the US, and could potentially shift the balance of great power leadership in this strategically vital area. This article explores the current state of US-Chinese rivalry in the region, examines the primary strategies of the US and China to increase their influence, and analyzes their current policies towards the Gulf states, including security aspects. It argues that the Middle East is becoming a crucial arena for global rivalry between the United States and China. Washington can no longer maintain the longstanding American order without considering the interests of competing powers, primarily China. The conclusion is that although the United States remains a significant external player in the Middle East, China's influence in the region is expected to grow in the coming years.

The Evolution of U.S. Republican and Democratic Party Approaches to Climate Agenda: Late 1990s to 2023
Authors: Prokopchuk Eugenia E.
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on analyzing the reasons behind the differing approaches of the Republican and Democratic parties to the issue of climate change. Party positions on this matter significantly influence the development of economic and energy policies in the U.S. Furthermore, the U.S.'s involvement in international efforts to combat global warming is also shaped by the power dynamics between these parties in the presidential administration and Congress. These stances directly impact other vital aspects of U.S. economy and politics, particularly in areas such as energy and Washington's role in international endeavors to achieve net-zero emissions. The climate agenda has become a significant point of contention in EU-US relations, a topic that holds particular relevance today. The findings of the study indicate an increasing partisan divide on the climate agenda, signifying deepening divisions in American society as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
The Anatomy of Foreign Policy Crises
Authors: Surguladze Vakhtang Sh.
Published: September 2024

Reviewed edition: H. Kissinger. "Crisis". Moscow: AST, 2023. 512 p. The book presents a retrospective analysis of the international situation and the specifics of the political decision-making process in the context of escalating military-political tensions. The publication includes declassified transcripts of telephone conversations of US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger during two crises – the 1973 Arab-Israeli War (the Yom Kippur War) and the final US withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975. A distinctive feature of the collection is its documentary-memoir character, combining the memories of a direct participant in the events described by H. Kissinger, a documentary account of what happened, illustrating the vicissitudes of two crises and an expert political assessment of the international situation and actions of the parties to the conflicts under consideration. This comprehensive approach is particularly interesting due to the fact that the author considers the events of the Arab-Israeli and Vietnamese crises in the broad context of domestic and foreign policy circumstances, as well as in the context of the global geopolitical confrontation between the United States and the USSR.
