Authors: Крошкина Д.В. , Чудакова Т.К. , Тинт Н.П.
Published: January 2022

Пандемия новой коронавирусной инфекции COVID-19 на сегодняшний день является наиболее актуальной проблемой здравоохранения во всем мире. Несмотря на относительно легкое течение COVID-19 у детей, в последнее время отмечается увеличение числа случаев развития состояния, по клинической картине схожего с болезнью Кавасаки и получившего название детский мультисистемный воспалительный синдром, ассоциированный с SARSCOV-2. Отсутствие точных критериев постановки диагноза, сведений о причинах возникновения и об особенностях течения данного патологического состояния у детей, а также его взаимосвязи с неблагоприятными факторами преморбидного фона требуют пристального изучения и анализа каждого выявленного случая. Статья посвящена изучению особенностей течения детского мультисистемного воспалительного синдрома, ассоциированного с SARS-COV-2, у больного с сахарным диабетом I типа и генетически детерминированной аутоиммунной настроенностью организма.

Authors: Качаев А.В. , Малинин Ю.А. , Гриб Г.В. , Редлих Э.Ф. , Балыков О.А.
Published: January 2022

В статье рассмотрены физико-механические свойства (ФМС) горных пород Белогорского месторождения в талом и мерзлом состоянии, выполнено их количественное сопоставление. Выполнен расчет устойчивости пород в бортах проектируемого разреза по двум методикам и показана сходимость коэффициентов запаса устойчивости по этим методикам. На основании полученных результатом ФМС рассчитаны углы устойчивых откосов для талого и мерзлого состояния горных пород. В мерзлом состоянии примерно углы круче на 10º, чем по образцам в талом. Отмечено, что в процессе разработки многолетняя мерзлота не будет деградировать, и поэтому наиболее эффективно при строительстве разреза, для расчета устойчивости пород использовать показатели ФМС в мерзлом состоянии.

Published: January 2022

Сорная растительность неблагоприятно сказывается на посевах озимой пшеницы. Сорняки, благодаря своим ботаническим и биологическим особенностям, способны ухудшать условия развития пшеницы, затеняя её, забирая питательные элементы из почвы, что впоследствии плохо сказывается на урожайности. Чтобы побороть сорную растительность используют химические средства защиты – гербициды. С помощью них можно добиться оптимальных условий для роста и развития культуры. В статье приведены результаты опытов по определению урожайности озимой пшеницы в зависимости от применения гербицидов

Sobre las teorías de la nación
Authors: Antón Merino Javier
Published: January 2022

El estudio de las teorías de la nación acarrea considerables dificultades por la multitud de enfoques, tanto en términos conceptuales como explicativos. La inexistencia de una teoría unificada provoca que conceptos básicos como nación y gran parte de sus derivados sean términos en disputa, lo que genera serios impedimentos a la hora de fijarlos y ofrecer definiciones claras y ampliamente compartidas por la academia. En este artículo, partiendo de la definición weberiana de Estado, se efectuará una revisión y clasificación sistemática de los principales enfoques y aportaciones teóricas de la nación, proponiendo un marco a partir del cual se podrán ubicar a los autores más autorizados sobre la materia, así como a sus propuestas. Además, también se expondrán las diferentes tipologías desarrollas entorno al termino nacionalismo. Todo ello, tiene por objetivo sintetizar, ordenar y clarificar los distintos enfoques teóricos en un tema de estudio cuya relevancia y vigencia continúa estando de lo más presente en la actualidad.

Objetivo: compreender o papel dos agentes institucionais no processo de internacionalização, na perspectiva do tripé da estratégia.Método: foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso único para investigar a internacionalização de cinco empresas que são associadas a um agente institucional, sob três categorias de análise – internacionalização sob a ótica econômica, comportamental e institucional.Principais resultados:  enquanto agente institucional, a entidade é crucial no processo de internacionalização de seus associados, a depender do porte e experiência exportadora. Na perspectiva econômica, coordena a identificação de novos mercados. Na comportamental, dinamiza o gradualismo de inserção internacional e constrói redes de relacionamento. Na institucional, desenvolve um ambiente colaborativo, legitimando a conversão de instituições informais em formais.Relevância/originalidade: estudos empíricos sustentados pelo tripé da estratégia costumam limitar-se a categorizar os elementos recursos, indústria e instituições, separadamente. A perspectiva de análise a partir de agentes institucionais permite avaliar os efeitos das ações dos agentes institucionais de forma abrangente e inter-relacionada.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: evidencia-se a inter-relação entre os elementos do tripé da estratégia, dinamizada por agentes institucionais de países emergentes. Agentes institucionais atuam como consolidadores de ações coletivas, reforçando seu papel na construção de instituições informais e formais, mitigando atos oportunísticos que poderiam vilipendiar ações coletivas na construção de confiança e facilitando o acesso a recursos e conhecimento.Contribuições para a gestão: a pesquisa oferece uma oportunidade de reflexão sobre o posicionamento de entidades representativas setoriais que podem aprimorar suas ações em decorrência das contribuições percebidas pelos associados e os pontos de melhoria por eles identificados.

Published: January 2022

One of the most current issues facing modern pedagogical theory and practice is distance learning. Since the Covid-19 virus pandemic outbreak, this specific teaching context has become the only hope for education systems globally. Given the role and importance that distance learning has today, our paper is focused on studying its barriers in immediate secondary school practice. This research is part of a broader study that involves a more thorough study of distance learning, which was conducted on a sample of 422 students and 120 secondary school teachers in Southeast Serbia. The aim of this paper is to identify the most common barriers to distance learning and answer the question of whether there are differences in the attitudes of teachers and students about the barriers they encountered during the first months of its implementation. In terms of frequency, the results of the conducted research show that evaluation-related barriers are the most common, while the learning material and technical barriers to distance learning are the least common ones. The research has shown that teachers statistically more often highlight evaluation-related, organizational/administrative and social/emotional barriers, while in practice, students more often experience learning content-related barriers. The results also confirm positive correlation in the participants’ attitudes about the analyzed barriers and directly point to the conclusion about their objective perception and critical reflection on this problem by emphasizing the importance of didactic elements such as: quality of the teaching process, level of knowledge acquired, objectivity of assessment, etc. in relation to the learning material and technical side of teaching. These conclusions point to a number of pedagogical implications by which the new, specific teaching context can be significantly improved.

The coronavirus pandemic has affected all states in the world and the measures taken by governments to limit the spread of coronavirus have also left their mark on sustainable development goals, slowing their implementation or even regressing to some of these goals. In the context in which the pandemic affected the Romanian economy and all segments of the population in all areas of the country, especially vulnerable groups, leading to an increase in existing disparities, the rapid implementation of sustainable development goals is the core of a sustainable and equitable recovery. This paper presents effects of coronavirus pandemic on the sustainable development in Romania, especially on the objectives like no poverty, "zero" hunger, health and well-being, quality education, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure and low inequalities, but also the solutions identified by various international bodies to reduce this impact. Thus, the first part of the paper is a theoretical one, which presents the concept of "sustainable development" and analyses specialized studies that have presented the objectives of sustainable development, including studies that have shown the negative or positive effects of the coronavirus pandemic on these objectives. The second part of the paper presents a descriptive analysis of the stage of sustainable development in Romania, after one year of coronavirus pandemic. In carrying out this paper, qualitative research was used, based on methods such as descriptive analysis, analysis of official statistical data, study of reports and reference papers and synthesis of conclusions.

Additional to the three main trends influencing social dialogue at the organizational level - de-centralization, up-scaling, de-institutionalization and representation – the COVID-19 pandemic rules brought a new influence that impacts the Unions, forcing it to adapt its internal communication. This paper is centred upon the way the Unions members in Romania get access to information in the new labour landscape, characterized by the work from home and physical distancing. The research focuses on a collective case-study of three strong Union Federations that developed internal communication with unions’ members that fits the pandemic context. The research focuses on the internal communication repertoire elements used by the Unions. The research method assesses the qualitative information gathered by interviewing key Unions representatives. The main areas of interest are the key topics addressed in the communication with the members, the tools and media mix used, the frequency of the formal communication with the trade unions members, the accountable and the responsible persons with the internal communication, and the management of the feedback from the members, all in the context of what is different vs. 2019. The conclusions are enriched with some recommendations for future development of communication with union members, supporting the social dialog.

Published: January 2022

Recent developments in response to the Covid-19 pandemic have had a substantial impact on students, teachers and content delivery modes around the globe. This paper reports the efforts of the University of Tetovo (UT) in North Macedonia (NM) and Banat’s USAMVB University “King Michael I of Romania” to find rapid and efficient means of switching from direct to remote course delivery while maintaining effective communication. Acknowledging that little space was available for training teachers and learners to prepare for such rapid changes, this study examines how students responded. Applying exploratory research methods, the paper offers a preliminary analysis of the difficulties that learners faced in shifting to online presentation. Qualitative data was collected using student interviews and content analysis (Silverman, 2005) was applied to identify themes, biases and meaning. Convenience sampling among enrolled students in the academic year 2020/2021 at both universities identified a non-random sample of 16 students. The findings of the study revealed that participants faced many difficulties in their venture; however, using various strategies, effective planning and organization, they managed to a certain extent to overcome this situation.
Particularities of Electrophysiological and Psychoneurological Assessment of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors:   Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Marcu Gabriela Mariana
Published: January 2022

Neuropsychological functioning after mTBI is individualized and dynamic, with no currently known predictors and usually having a trajectory of gradual improvement. It is still a challenge to identify specific cognitive profiles associated with mTBI. One of the causes is the transient character of TBI symptoms as they are not appearing immediately after the injury. Another explanation resides in the individual and group variability of cognitive impairements following mTBI, which also affects the standardisation of the neuropsychological tests to use in mTBI assessment batteries (Iverson et al., 2013; Prince & Bruhns, 2017; Tulsky et al., 2017). Presently concussion has no accepted definition or diagnostic criteria. Also, there is no standard (or gold standard) for screening or properly identifying and diagnosing all population with concussion. (Borg et al., 2004). Patients with mTBI could evolve in a bunch of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms (Permenter et al., 2021) that are usually known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS). In terms of symptoms, we target neuropsychological evaluation of four key domains (“higher-order attention”, “executive function”, “episodic memory”, and “speed of information processing”) implicated in chronic impairment after mTBI. Alternatively, studies on the EEG frequency domain shed new light on the possibility to have a diagnostic marker based on QEEG patterns identified in the mTBI population and some prognostic factors for the PCS syndrome.(Rapp et al., 2015; Thornton & Carmody, 2009). Given the particularities of neuropsychological functioning after mTBI we emphasize the need of a mixed methodology, using both electrophysiological and psychoneurological tools, to provide the best sensitivity and specificity in assessing cognitive and functional deficits and in predicting further PCS.

Entrepreneurship can be a solution to the dilemma: “Labour is a form of education, a way of ensuring existence, gaining autonomy, a physical and mental training, a way of oppression, a form of occupational therapy, all together or …none of the variants listed?” Depending on the reference field and the perspectives offered by different specializations, work is defined as a physical or intellectual action, which develop material and emotional satisfactions. Especially in closed environments, it is practiced as a form of occupational therapy (ergotherapy), because it ensures a sense of usefulness, helping to maintain somato-psycho-emotional health. The schoolmasters highlight the formative values of work for students: evaluate the native skills and abilities, lead to the discovery of new unknown interests and talents, support the student in his perfection by inoculating the ideas of responsibility, order, discipline, etc. Before 1989, in detention environment labour was mandatory, but now, labour is an optional right. The two perspectives are diametrically opposed, and the issue was addressed only from the perspective of reduced job supply, both during detention and after release. There are few publications with strict reference to this topic. In general, the social reintegration of post-execution prisoners is addressed. At this moment, the main problem highlighted is integration/reintegration on the labour market, as the main facilitating step of maintaining the accumulations during the detention period and a primary factor for avoiding the recurrence. However, those who have served a custodial sentence do not have a "ticket" to the labour market. To be known and solved, the situation should be addressed continuously: prevention before detention, education/re-education/training / retraining during detention and placement on the labor market / retraining immediately after release.
Social Dimensions of Roma Marginalization
Authors: Oneț Romana
Published: January 2022

The paper aims to analyze aspects of Roma marginalization, by identifying and assessing the dimensions of social needs within a compact Roma community, located in a marginalized urban area. The effects of the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic increase inequalities regarding the economic and social situation. The major challenge is to reduce the risk of poverty, especially among families with children, people with disabilities and chronic diseases, but also the social exclusion of people at social risk, based on accurate measurements of social phenomena. The community profile indicates the social status of the inhabitants, which provides a picture of the degree of marginalization and social exclusion of Roma. Thus, the study was conducted by constructing a questionnaire as a research tool, which summarizes the results of the activity of information collection and processing, both based on statistical methods and percentage analysis. The problems faced by marginalized Roma communities are low participation in education, early school leaving, difficult transition to tertiary education, lack of adult skills, low skills among vulnerable people in the labor market, low access to services, poor health and housing. Measures for early detection of situations of social risk and intervention lead to positive effects in preventing marginalization and social exclusion.

Starting from the observation that nowadays, the need to operate in a world described by Horney et al. (2010) as a world characterized by its volatility, uncertainties, complexity, and ambiguity has become more evident than ever, we aim at identifying and reveal the need for a ceaseless VUCA model. During the last decade, the term VUCA has easily migrated in other areas, being transformed into a common expression due to rapid change manifested in the technological, political, financial, and administrative fields (Sarkar, 2016). In this context, we have analyzed the existing VUCA models and proposed the n+1 version of them. Within the current stream of events, including Brexit and especially the COVID-19 pandemic, the way managers addressed the ever-changing business environment has become less efficient in the current disruptive type of period we are facing. Therefore, the VUCA 2.0 model was developed. The model comprising the same acronym is based on the following elements: vision, understanding, courage, and adaptability (George, 2017). But, in the last years, technology has accelerated the VUCA world and, in 2020, the VUCA 3.0 popped out (Day, 2020). As the results of the analysis pointed out, the incredible pace and amplitude of change, together with the associated disruption in the way businesses are managed, call for the constant development of a never-ending VUCA n+1 model. With a wider spread of automatization, cyber systems, and artificial intelligence, a new VUCA model will soon be necessary. This framework invites the reader to think not only about a potential but to a factual infinite sequence of VUCA models.

Older age can be accompanied by a lot of changes in the field of health, which influence the social functioning of seniors.One of the factors influencing the quality of life of seniors is the connection of healthcare and social care, built on the interdepartmental cooperation. This approach is still absent in Slovakia.The aim of the paper is therefore to emphasize the importance and need of integrated care and to describe the barriers that prevent its implementation in Slovakia. In search of answers to the questions: “When and why was the healthcare and social care department of seniors established in Slovakia? What are the reasons persisting in this condition? What are the consequences of this divided care for the seniors in practice? What strategies use facilities for seniors to overcome this situation during the COVID-19 pandemic?” the authors used the method of the case study (Yin, 2003) focused on the Trnava self-governing region. Persistent structural, procedural, legislative and political factors have been identified as the main barriers. Specific for Slovakia is the existence of a barrier of the profession, which is caused by the low interest of social workers in the issue. The authors state that the situation in Slovakia is caused mainly by the reflection of integrated care as a political problem. In the end, the authors make several suggestions for solving the situation.

Published: January 2022

The article presents an observation of a rare clinical arrhythmia — REM-associated advanced atrioventricular block 2nd degree. The absence of structural abnormalities of the heart, the young age and the need for additional methods of instrumental examination for diagnosis (polysomnography, test with the active orthostasis test) are important features of the case. Despite the orphan nature of this arrhythmia, the correct diagnosis is important for the choice of the management strategy choice.
Z problematyki współpracy międzynarodowej na przykładzie spraw podatkowych
Authors: Połatyńska Joanna
Published: January 2022

Przedmiotem artykułu są zagadnienia związane z kształtowaniem przez państwa swojej jurysdykcji w sprawach podatkowych. Wychodząc z prawnomiędzynarodowej koncepcji jurysdykcji państwa, autorka wskazuje, że wykonywanie przez państwa jurysdykcji podatkowej poddane jest –podobnie jak wykonywanie jurysdykcji w każdej innej dziedzinie aktywności państwowej – ograniczeniom wynikającym z norm prawa międzynarodowego, począwszy od zwyczajowej zasady sformułowanej w sprawie statku Lotus (Lotus principle), po indywidualne zobowiązania międzynarodowe przyjmowane przez państwa w postaci wielo- i dwustronnych traktatów dotyczących podatków, zwłaszcza umów o unikaniu podwójnego opodatkowania. Szczególną formą współpracy międzynarodowej w sprawach podatkowych są wielostronne porozumienia pomiędzy jurysdykcjami podatkowymi. Przykład dwóch z nich – konwencji z 1988 r. o udzielaniu wzajemnej pomocy administracyjnej w sprawach podatkowych oraz konwencji z 2016 r. implementującej środki traktatowego prawa podatkowego mające na celu zapobieganie erozji podstawy opodatkowania i przenoszeniu zysku – daje asumpt do konstatacji, że państwa, przyjmując na siebie zobowiązania międzynarodowe, dążą z jednej strony do ujednolicenia i uszczelnienia systemów podatkowych, z drugiej zaś do coraz precyzyjniejszego wyznaczenia granic pomiędzy swoimi jurysdykcjami podatkowymi.

The article discusses the specifity of the relations between the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR in 1919–1929. The authors present the relations between the goverments of the two republics and actions of the Russian side aiming to transforme into the unitary state, initially rather loosely connected among them the constituent elements of the Soviet state. Relations between RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR were burdened with significant disavantages from the very beginning, as the former appropriates the rights of the union center. The article explains also the role and the place of the permanent representations of the union republics in Moscow, as well as the influence of the commissioners (Ukrainian government representatives in Moscow) on Soviet Russia’s policy towards Ukraine. Permenent ignoring by the government in Moscow of Ukraine’s needs and expectations, prompted the leadership of the party and the government of Ukrainian SSR to seek protection of its economic interests at the institutional level. With the creation of the USSR, the legal status of the republics included in that state changed. Relations between the republics lost their interstate character. In place of the existing ones, new representations were established to ensure the maintenance of permanent ties between the government of the RSFSR and the governments of the union republics.
