La revista Saber Vivir (Buenos Aires, 1940-1956) y la prensa de la emigración catalana en la Argentina: entre el consumo y la difusión culturales
Authors: Gerhardt Federico
Published: July 2024

El artículo aborda las diversas relaciones entre, por un lado, la revista Saber Vivir, publicada en Buenos Aires entre 1940 y 1956, y, por otro lado, las dos revistas más relevantes dentro de la prensa de la emigración catalana en la Argentina: Catalunya y Ressorgiment. De acuerdo con este objetivo, el artículo analiza las coincidencias entre sus respectivos grupos directivos y en sus correspondientes nóminas de colaboradores, las referencias cruzadas entre las citadas revistas, y los vínculos con otros proyectos editoriales promovidos los mismos agentes del campo cultural. El relevamiento y el análisis de los datos referidos ponen en evidencia las conexiones establecidas entre dos circuitos de edición y distribución de impresos: el de las asociaciones étnicas de ámbito catalán y el de las empresas editoras con fines comerciales. Asimismo, permiten observar ciertas formas específicas en que se resolvieron las tensiones entre uno y otro circuito, durante un periodo en que coinciden la intensificación de las actividades culturales de las entidades asociativas de ámbito catalán y el auge de la industria editorial argentina.
“Easy to say” e The namesake: as perspectivas de Shireen e Lu'ay, no conto de Sahar Mustafah, e de Ashoke e Gógol, no filme de Mira Nair, sobre nomes próprios
Authors: Passos Arthur Almeida
Published: July 2024

Este artigo analisa o conto “Easy to say”, da escritora palestino-estadunidense Sahar Mustafah, e o filme The namesake, adaptado do romance homônimo da escritora estadunidense Jhumpa Lahiri pela diretora indiano-estadunidense Mira Nair, com foco na construção das perspectivas de dois pares de personagens – Shireen e Ashoke, de um lado, e Lu’ay e Gógol, de outro – acerca de nomes próprios, unidade temática muito relevante, senão fundamental, nas duas obras. A hipótese é que os pontos de vista das referidas duplas de figuras sobre nomes próprios variam conforme seus respectivos níveis de integração aos Estados Unidos, país para o qual emigraram, já adultos, a palestina Shireen e o indiano Ashoke e no qual vivem desde a infância, como filhos de imigrantes, Lu’ay e Gógol. Com o intuito de verificar essa hipótese, a pesquisa trata de relações entre literatura e cinema, concebe como narrativas as produções estéticas estudadas e, tendo em vista tal concepção, apoia-se em conceitos básicos da teoria da narrativa para proceder à análise. O exame mostra que tal hipótese só se confirma em parte, uma vez que os quatro personagens selecionados para estudo, quando devidamente considerados em sua individualidade e complexidade, apresentam especificidades importantes.

In brief

Repro57 mice, bearing an Rnf212 gene mutation, exhibit infertility in both homozygous mutant males and females, revealing arrested spermatogenesis in males and investigating unclear mechanisms in females. The study highlights aneuploidy and altered kinetochore patterns in repro57 homozygous mutant oocytes, which impact later stages of embryo development.

Repro57 mice, induced with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea and harboring a mutation in the Rnf212 gene, exhibit infertility in both homozygous mutant males and females. Rnf212 plays a crucial role in recombination and crossover designation. In male repro57 homozygous mutants, spermatocytes often degenerate during late prophase, and mature spermatozoa are absent in the seminiferous epithelium, indicating arrested spermatogenesis as the cause of infertility. Despite reports of infertility in Rnf212-knockout female mice, the specific mechanisms underlying infertility in female repro57 homozygous mutants remain elusive. This study investigates the chromosomal and kinetochore patterns of mature oocytes and their developmental potential following in vitro fertilization in female repro57 homozygous mutant mice. While all wild-type oocytes progress to metaphase II and exhibit euploidy, all repro57 homozygous mutant mouse oocytes display aneuploidy. Additionally, kinetochore distances in repro57 homozygous mutant oocytes exceed those observed in wild-type counterparts. Although no significant differences are noted in fertilization and early embryo development rates between wild-type and repro57 homozygous mutant mice, embryos derived from repro57 homozygous mutants exhibit significantly lower morula and blastocyst rates, accompanied by frequent cytokinesis failure and vacuole formation. These findings suggest that the premature segregation of sister chromatids in repro57 homozygous mutant mice adversely impacts the later stages of embryo development.

Global bioethics in european context
Authors: PUSTOVIT Svitlana , PALIEI Liudmyla
Published: July 2024

The article analyses the foundations and principles of global bioethics in the European ethical, legal and philosophical contexts. An analysis of European bioethics shows that there are at least three modern models of European bioethics: bioethics as metaethics; bioethics as biolaw; bioethics as applied biomedical ethics. European bioethics originates in the global bioethics of V.R. Potter and F. Jahr, and encompasses not only moral issues of medicine and public health, but also global environmental and social problems. In this context, the convergence of the natural and the human is seen as a rehabilitation of practical philosophy, a further study and development of the principles of practical reason, understood by analogy with the objective laws of nature. The study of constitutions, legislative and legal regulations of European countries has revealed a variety of bioethical principles in the field of biomedicine. However, at the level of legislation in biomedicine, there is a certain influence of the American model of bioethics, biomedical ethics, which is manifested in the principlism methodology and the weak connection between medical and environmental issues. Global bioethics in the European context is characterized by an intensification of bioethical reflection, social relationships and legislative activity in biomedicine within pan-European structures, such as the European Council and the European Union. The defining feature of global bioethics as a phenomenon of European culture and ethos is that its principles can be “activated” only as a semantic and logical integrity. Bioethical principles serve as a kind of harmonising factor of European biopolitics.

Este artigo tem por objetivo provocar a discussão acerca do papel protagonista que exerceu e exerce o sujeito popular na América Latina e o Caribe, a partir da demarcação histórica da relação do popular com os processos revolucionários do continente, em especial o da Revolução Mexicana. Para tanto, será realizado um exercício de visualização de uma fotografia (anônima), uma arte mural (de Diego Rivera) e uma xilogravura (de Posada). Neste texto, afirma-se o popular como o universo dos sujeitos que, vinculados à superexploração a partir do trabalho formal ou informal, demarcam, tanto a condição do extrato social mais violentado do modo de produção capitalista (condição periférica em geral, e periférica urbana em particular), como as histórias de resistências, experiências cotidianas de sobrevivência, em meio à hegemonia do capital. Metodologicamente, o desenvolvimento será desdobrado a partir de uma pergunta geradora, fornecida pelo cubano Alejo Carpentier: ¿Pero qué es la historia de América toda sino una crónica de lo real-maravilloso?

THE USE OF LECITHIN OF ORGANIC ORIGIN IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF BAKERY PRODUCTS
Authors: Bilyk О. , Kruglyak О. , Bondarenkо Y. , Kochubey-Lytvynenko О. , Zabroda А.
Published: July 2024

The production of bakery products of organic origin has limitations in the use of various ingredients, first of all, 95% of the recipe composition should be of organic production. Organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400 from the German company Lecico has appeared on the market of organic products, which makes it possible to expand the possibilities of improving the quality of bakery products labelled as organic. The purpose of the research is to develop a recipe for an organic loaf with an extended shelf life by using organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400 from the German company Lecico and to study its effect on the consumer characteristics of an organic loaf with an extended shelf life. Based on trial laboratory baking and the calculation of a comprehensive quality indicator, a rational dosage of organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400 in the amount of 0.6 % by weight of flour was established to improve the consumer properties of bakery products. Thus, in the case of adding 0.6 % by weight of flour, the specific volume increased by 9.1 % compared to the control due to an increase in the specific volume of the dough and a weakening of the gluten framework with the introduction of organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400. It was found that the shape stability and porosity of the products are improved. It was found that the use of organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400 prolongs the freshness of bakery products, namely, the degree of preservation of freshness of the products increases by 1.5 times, which is confirmed by a lower degree of crumbling and the formed sub-crust layer during 72 hours of storage. Taking into account the rational dosage of organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400, a recipe for the organic loaf ‘Soniachnyi’ was developed using 100 kg of organic high-grade wheat flour, pressed bakery yeast - 3 kg, table salt - 1.3 kg, organic sugar - 2 kg, organic peasant sweet cream butter - 2.5 kg, organic low-fat sunflower lecithin LECICO SUN P 400 - 0.6 kg
BIRD SQUIRREL OPTIMIZATION WITH DEEP RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORK FOR PROSTATE CANCER DETECTION

Published: July 2024

Prostate cancer is solid organ melanoma which increases mortality amongst humans. Automatic techniques for
determining prostate cancer from magnetic resonance images (MRI) are highly recommended. Conventional techniques
adapt different steps, which may result in huge computational costs. In order to perform automated prostate cancer
classification with MRI, a deep model named bird squirrel (BS) algorithm-based deep recurrent neural networks
(DeepRNN) is developed in this research. Here, the MRI noise is removed using a non-local means (NLM) filter.
Convolution neural networks (CNN) are also widely used to create segments in order to extract notable features, and
they are used in DeepRNN for detecting prostate cancer. To train the classifier, the proposed BS algorithm is used.
By combining the bird search algorithm (BSA) and squirrel search algorithm (SSA), the created BS is produced. The
evaluation is done using Prostate MRI Dataset and the invented BS-DeepRNN is obtained with a higher accuracy of
0.937, a sensitivity of 0.958, and a specificity of 0.916.
Performance of cementitious systems containing calcined clay in a chloride-rich environment: a review by TC-282 CCL

In this review by TC- 282 CCL, a comprehensive examination of various facets of chloride ingress in calcined clay-based concrete in aggressive chloride-rich environments is presented due to its significance in making reinforced concrete structures susceptible to chloride-induced corrosion damages. The review presents a summary of available literature focusing on materials characteristics influencing the chloride resistance of calcined clay-based concrete, such as different clay purity, kaolinite content and other clay minerals, underscoring the significance of pore refinement, pore solution composition, and chloride binding mechanisms. Further, the studies dealing with the performance at the concrete scale, with a particular emphasis on transport properties, curing methods, and mix design, are highlighted. Benchmarking calcined clay mixes with fly ash or slag-based concrete mixes that are widely used in aggressive chloride conditions instead of OPC is recommended. Such comparison could extend the usage of calcined clay as a performance-enhancing mineral admixture in the form of calcined clay or LC2 (limestone-calcined clay). The chloride diffusion coefficient in calcined clay concrete is reported to be significantly lower (about 5–10 times in most literature available so far) compared to OPC, and even lower compared to fly ash and slag-based concrete at early curing ages reported across recent literature made with different types of cements and concrete mixes. Limited studies dealing with reinforcement corrosion point out that calcined clay delays corrosion initiation and reduces corrosion rates despite the reduction in critical chloride threshold. Most of these results on corrosion performance are mainly from laboratory studies and warrant field evaluation in future. Finally, two case studies demonstrating the application of calcined clay-based concrete in real-world marine exposure conditions are discussed to showcase the promising potential of employing low-purity calcined clay-based concrete for reducing carbon footprint and improving durability performance in chloride exposure.
Reconstruction of design principles of a late Gothic net vault in Eisleben/Germany
Authors: Huth Olaf
Published: July 2024

Precise knowledge of the principles according to which vaults were designed and constructed and how they were implemented in construction not only forms a decisive basis for their preservation as monuments. These principles also provide information about the shape finding of vaults and technology of their construction. The load-bearing behaviour in its current state can also be traced back to certain premises. Using the example of the late Gothic net vault in the St. Peter and Paul church in Lutherstadt Eisleben, Germany, this paper shows how the design and construction principles of vaults can be precisely deduced with the help of known monitoring methods, tachymetry and terrestrial three-dimensional laser scanning. The results of reverse engineering refer to the application of design principles that are relevant in the late Gothic period, such as the principal arch or the plan specifications for maintaining the heights of the ribbed intersections of figured vaults. Due to the artisanal nature of the building process at the time of their construction, individual segments of the vaults may well deviate more significantly from these rules. The fact that these apparent rule deviations may be responses to inadequacies at the project level, from planning to execution, is also explored.
Construction safety challenges and opportunities at design stage for building industry
Authors: Murtaza Imran , Rashid Muhammad Usman , Asad Muhammad
Published: July 2024

The implementation of design for construction safety (DfCS) at the early design phase can proactively identify and address potential hazards in construction projects. By integrating safety considerations into the design process, it becomes possible to eliminate or minimise risks before they become costly and dangerous issues which can also be avoided during construction. To gain insights into the current practices and barriers faced by professionals in the construction industry of Pakistan regarding DfCS, a comprehensive study was conducted. This study utilised a combination of questionnaire-based surveys and interviews to gather data from various stakeholders involved in the design and construction processes. The research revealed that DfCS was absent in the standard design practice. The weaknesses identified for the implementation of DfCS were designers’ inevitable doubts about increasing costs, schedule problems, absence of contracts and regulations and designers’ lack of safety knowledge and skills. The largest influential factors were regulatory liability on the designer (29%) and increasing costs (27%). The study found that 59% of site accidents were due to less trained workers. Of the respondents, 87% suggested revision of contracts and regulations. This study proposes a framework for checking constructability with respect to safety standards. An alternative project delivery method – that is, design–build – is recommended to reduce health and safety accidents and barriers.
Regenerative design: research, practice, and implementation in the built environment

Published: July 2024

The 73rd session of the United Nations in 2019 emphasised the urgent need for sustainable development to avert irreversible climate change impacts within a mere 11 years. Yet vulnerable communities have experienced food security and ecosystem crises since the 1990s. Moreover, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts environmental damage will lead to 200 million permanent displacements by 2050. Built environment professionals such architects must act as agents of systemic change, driving the study’s investigation into ‘regenerative design’ with a focus on research, practice and implementation. The study conducted a comprehensive search and scoping review of peer-reviewed literature and an industry-specific audience poll at a built environment professional summit. The findings reveal an inconsistent application and limited comprehension of ‘regenerative’ among industry professionals. The study poll of key stakeholders in the Australian built environment context accentuates the lack of consensus surrounding regenerative design’s definition. This research contributes to interdisciplinary knowledge, bridging domains of education, design, construction, planning, urban development, and policy. It underscores the need for more extensive research and highlights the absence of consensus in defining regenerative design. By shedding light on these aspects, the study aims to galvanise collective action and foster transformative change towards a sustainable future.

Ansiedad escolar y rechazo escolar por evitación de situaciones negativas en adolescentes
Authors: Martín Galán Miriam , Giménez Miralles Mariola , Ortega Sandoval Virginia Narcisa , Álvarez Teruel José Daniel
Published: July 2024

Uno de los mayores desafíos a los que se enfrenta hoy día la población juvenil es a la desmotivación por los resultados académicos, lo que se ve estrechamente reflejado en conductas de estrés, ansiedad y depresión. Así, entre los trastornos más destacados en la población adolescente, se encuentra el Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada. Asistir a la escuela favorece el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes (académico, personal y social), no obstante, el índice de rechazo escolar continúa siendo alarmante. Debido a la complejidad del comportamiento, no se ha logrado llegar a un acuerdo común que justifique la conducta, pues las razones son heterogéneas (miedo, ansiedad o trastorno desafiante). La evitación escolar basada en las emociones es una importante causade absentismo escolar, además de persistente. Teniendo en cuenta por tanto la estrecha relación entre las emociones de tipo internalizante (ansiedad, depresión, estrés) y el rechazo escolar, el objetivo del presente estudio consistió en conocer la relación entre la ansiedad escolar y el rechazo escolar en función de las altas y bajas puntuaciones en rechazo escolar. La muestra estuvo compuesta por un total de 1920 estudiantes de bachillerato. La School Refusal Behavior Assessment Scale-Revised for children (I. Evitación de afectividad negativa; II. Escape de situaciones sociales; III. Búsqueda de atención; IV. Búsqueda del refuerzo tangible) y el Inventario de Ansiedad Escolar (IAES) fueron utilizados. Los resultados reflejaron que, los estudiantes con altas puntuaciones en rechazo escolar, obtuvieron puntuaciones superiores en las diferentes dimensiones de ansiedad evaluadas en comparación con el grupo con bajas puntuaciones en rechazo escolar. Se discute el papel de la ansiedad como factor de riesgo del comportamiento de rechazo escolar.

Published: July 2024

Este artículo reporta los resultados de un estudio cualitativo de caso que explora las implicaciones de los problemas socioemocionales en una escuela primaria ubicada en una comunidad con alta vulnerabilidad social en la costa de Yucatán, México. A través de técnicas etnográficas, observación participante, entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos de enfoque, se identificaron problemas de violencia familiar, agresividad y acoso verbal y físico entre estudiantes. El personal escolar atribuye estos casos a la pobreza, desinterés por los hijos y adicciones en las familias y la comunidad. Se evidenció que el apoyo de la psicóloga es limitado, ya que acude de manera infrecuente a la escuela. Por su parte, los docentes expresaron interés por abordar estos problemas, pero se quejaron de no tener tiempo ni capacidad para atenderlos. A raíz de estos hallazgos se impartió y evaluó el efecto de un curso de primeros auxilios psicológicos para los profesores. Se discute la importancia de la atención de factores socioemocionales que afectan la vida escolar y el bienestar de la comunidad, y la importancia de capacitar a los profesores para desarrollar acciones de intervención y apoyo en esta área.

La docencia compartida (DC) es un modelo pedagógico en donde colaboran de manera conjunta dos o más profesores, con el fin de fortalecer la calidad educativa, las relaciones interpersonales y el desarrollo profesional de los docentes. Los objetivos planteados en este estudio fueron: analizar la relación entre la DC y la motivación del aprendizaje de los estudiantes, identificar diferencias significativas en la percepción de la DC según variables demográficas y examinar la percepción de la motivación del alumnado en relación con la experiencia de DC. Los participantes del estudio fueron 758 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO), 377 mujeres (49.7%), 351 hombres (46.3%), y 30 estudiantes (4%) que no especificaron su género. La mayoría de los estudiantes tenía entre 12 y 15 años. Se utilizó un cuestionario para medir la perspectiva de la Docencia Compartida, y la Escala de Evaluación Motivacional del Proceso de Aprendizaje. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y correlacional. Entre los resultados más importantes se destaca que, un porcentaje significativo de estudiantes ha tenido experiencia en DC. Las mujeres y los estudiantes más jóvenes, así como los de primero y cuarto de la ESO, reportan mayor satisfacción con la docencia compartida. Las diferencias en inclusión se relacionan solo con el curso. Los estudiantes que han participado en la DC muestran niveles más altos de motivación intrínseca y extrínseca. Con lo expuesto se concluye que la DC es un modelo pedagógico eficaz para mejorar la motivación intrínseca y extrínseca, el clima escolar y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.

En este trabajo se analiza la conducta alimentaria de 42 abuelas y 4 abuelos españoles (N = 46), entre los 40 y 89 años (M = 66.30; DT = 11.56), con 46 nietos de entre 3 y 15 años, analizando posibles relaciones entre horas que pasan juntos, tipo de comidas, carga glucémica alta o baja de esos alimentos, IMC de sus nietos y otras variables sociodemográficas, así como las influencias externas percibidas en sus creencias alimentarias. Con un diseño transversal de tipo descriptivo y muestreo no probabilístico, los datos se analizaron con las pruebas no paramétricas de Chi cuadrado y U de Mann Whitney. Los resultados mostraron que pasan juntos menos de 5 horas diarias, las comidas semanales que más ofrecen a sus nietos son el almuerzo y merienda, los alimentos más frecuentes de carga glucémica alta (CGa) fueron macarrones, dulces, galletas, pan blanco y patatas fritas, y de carga glucémica baja (CGb) manzanas, naranjas/mandarinas, zanahorias y legumbres caseras. El estado civil de las abuelas/os y el IMC de los nietos mostró relación con los alimentos magdalenas/croissants y con los refrescos/bebidas gaseosas. Tanto los massmedia/ Internet como el Ministerio de Salud español se relacionaron con las creencias alimentarias de las abuelas/os, según su nivel educativo. Como conclusión se demuestra el papel esencial de las abuelas/os en la alimentación diaria de los nietos, así como la relevancia de su estado civil y nivel educativo, además del IMC de los nietos, y también, de la importancia de la información externa, por su influencia potencial en las creencias de las abuelas/os para ofrecer una dieta más saludable a sus nietos.
Digitizing Law-Making at Federal Executive Agencies
Authors: Doschatov Anton
Published: July 2024

With digital technologies gaining ground in all spheres of life across the world, the digitization is becoming especially relevant, only to require in-depth technical and legal analysis. Current digital development of public administration in Russia calls for a change of approach to drafting and adoption of regulations. Today’s technologies are expected not only to make sure that regulation is timely and complete, but that it is as efficient as possible in view of an enormous and ever growing number of tasks, as well as non-controversial and comfortable for all those involved in the law-making process. Annually the Justice Ministry and its territorial offices receive about 1 million draft regulations for anti-corruption and legal review and state registration at the relevant level. It is exactly for this reason that this paper purports to conduct a comprehensive analysis of digitization processes affecting law-making at federal executive agencies using the example of the state information system “National shared environment for collaboration between the parties to the law-making process” (SIS Normotvorchestvo) and to identify operational problems. The study aims to explore the current operational status of the system, analyze issues and constraints related to digitization of law-making, identify potential advantages and benefits to be gained via digitization, and to discuss further prospects. The methodological basis of the research includes formal legal method of inquiry as well as logical method allowing to present findings and draw conclusions; methods of analysis and synthesis; comparative legal method.

Authors: Ilyin Ilya
Published: July 2024

Progress in natural language processing technologies (NLP) is a cardinal factor of major socioeconomic importance behind innovative digital products. However, inadequate legal regulation of quality and accessibility of training data is a major obstacle to this technological development. The paper is focused on regulatory issues affecting the quality and accessibility of data needed for language model training. In analyzing the normative barriers and proposing ways to remove them, the author of the paper argues for the need to develop a comprehensive regulatory system designed to ensure sustainable development of the technology.

Biomarkers are essential for the early detection, diagnosis, and management of diseases, particularly in complex conditions like Alzheimer's disease. This paper presents a comprehensive protocol for the in-silico validation of biomarkers using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) analysis in R. The protocol emphasizes the importance of rigorous data preprocessing and statistical validation, utilizing a Universal dataset, GSE36980, which comprises expression data from post-mortem Alzheimer's disease brains.The dataset was subjected to differential gene expression (DGE) analysis, and the significance of potential biomarkers was evaluated using statistical t-tests. The protocol outlines detailed steps for data preprocessing, including handling missing values, ensuring unique gene identifiers, and creating a binary classification variable based on log fold change cutoffs.By employing ROC and AUC curve analysis, this protocol aims to provide researchers and clinicians with a robust framework for assessing the performance of biomarkers in predicting Alzheimer's disease. The findings from this in-silico validation can facilitate the identification of novel biomarkers and enhance decision-making in clinical practice. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the validation process but also contributes to the growing body of knowledge in biomarker research

In this paper, a novel neural network based on parameter optimization Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and improved bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) is proposed. Wear state recognition method of ball screw element action unit component based on Bilstm. Firstly, Tent chaotic map and adaptive sine cosine Algorithm were used to improve the improved Northern Goshawk Optimisation Algorithm (INGO) to verify the superiority of INGO algorithm and determine the optimal parameter combination of VMD. Secondly, INGO-VMD was used to decompose the collected vibration signals and calculate the correlation of IMF components, and the multi-feature information matrix that could characterize the wear state change of the lead screw was constructed after retaining the IMF components with large correlation. Finally, the divided feature information matrix and labels were input into the Bilstm network model of Bayesian optimization (BO) for training, and the Softmax classifier was used to classify and identify the wear state category.

The article presents the results of developing a software system for production planning in the field of wood harvesting. The objects of research are the planning of harvesting operations, forest transport, construction, repair and maintenance of forest roads, as well as solving various related problems. The purpose of the work is to develop a native specialized software system for production planning in the field of wood harvesting, which is integrated with existing accounting and monitoring systems and is based on solving complex optimization problems of large dimensions using original specially developed methods and algorithms that take into account all the features of wood harvesting production in the Russian Federation. As a result of this work, an approach to creating such а system was developed, which includes a set of requirements for the software product, as well as formulations of the main tasks to be solved, listing the necessary initial data and information obtained as an output. The proposed approach was implemented by Russian IT-company Opti-Soft in the form of software product Opti-Wood — a multipurpose Decision Support System (DSS) designed for the use at forestry enterprises as a tool for optimizing production planning, management and control. The Opti-Wood system was developed in close contact with a large wood harvesting enterprise in the Republic of Karelia. The system is based on original algorithms for solving several optimization problems of increased complexity. Using the system allows one to increase the efficiency of logging processes by reducing costs in supply chains, the volume of warehouse stocks, the number of required vehicles; by mutual agreement of plans for harvesting operations, forest transport, road construction, etc., as well as by significantly reducing the time for taking management decisions. Increased profitability occurs due to the identification of additional options for the sale of products.
Dilemma of Individualism and Freedom in Neoliberal Understanding
Authors: Küçük Ahmet
Published: July 2024

There is a clear tension in the neoliberal approach to individualism and freedom. Focusing on the process of individualization and individual self-determination in markets, neoclassical approaches recognize that individuals are committed to social mobility and responsibility to act within market rules on, individual autonomy and the ability to set self-determined goals appear to be limited to market participation. The market is seen as an inherently dynamic system developed over time. According to Hayek, individualism refers to social progress and conformity to society. The aim of this paper is to respectfully examine the apparent inconsistencies and limitations of how individual freedom and choice have been conceptualized by neoliberal thinkers, through an analysis of the works of Hayek and Friedman. Neoliberal policies articulate the notion of free will and question the definition of freedom from a purely economic perspective. By further examining these nuances, the study hopes to reflect on the personal and societal political implications associated with neoliberalism’s more limited understanding of self-government and voluntarism. Finally, an examination of balanced perspectives can add to the ongoing discussion on how best to organize social policies that maximize individual dignity and collective well-being in the long run at in a constructive manner.

Background: Cesarean section is one form of surgical procedure involving incision of the abdominal and uterine walls, which poses a risk of postoperative pain. Pain is a common issue experienced by women after cesarean section, particularly within the first 48 hours. Uncontrolled pain can lead to physical and psychological complications such as postpartum depression and difficulties in infant care. Pain management may involve pharmacological therapy, but non-pharmacological alternatives such as relaxation therapy like guided imagery need to be explored, which can help reduce post-cesarean section pain.
Methods: This study is experimental, utilizing a randomized controlled trial pre-test and post-test control group double-blind design. The research was conducted from July to September 2022. A simple randomized sampling technique was employed, with a sample size of 32 post-cesarean section patients divided into two groups: the treatment group (guided imagery and standard therapy) consisting of 16 patients, and the control group (standard therapy) consisting of 16 patients.
Results: The study revealed a decrease in visual analogue score (VAS) scores by -2.875±0.619 with an effect size of 0.641 in the treatment group. The study had a significant impact with a p value of 0.000 (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Guided imagery is effective in reducing the pain level of post-cesarean section patients.
