The Problem of Revising of US Trade and Credit Legislation and Issues of Technology Transfer in Soviet-American Relations in the Second Half of 1970s
Authors: Yungblyud Valery 
Published: August 2024

The article examines the fate of the Jackson — Vanik and Stevenson amendments to U. S. trade and credit legislation during the administrations of G. Ford and J. Carter in the context of the development of bilateral relations between the superpowers. Based on published American documents, personal sources, materials from the Russian State Archive of Economics and the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, the impact of the amendments on the interaction of the two states in the trade, economic and technological spheres, the positions and arguments of the parties on the issue of revising the amendments are identified, and the factors for maintaining restrictive provisions in American laws are determined. It is shown that part of the American political elite recognized the fallacy and ineffectiveness of the amendments already in 1975, however, representatives of the conservative establishment still saw the main precondition for revising the legislation as the liberalization of the Soviet approach to the departure of Jews from the country and the quantitative increase in emigration, while the Soviet leadership was disposed to dialogue, but was ready to make such significant concessions. During Carter’s presidency, the administration&apos;s approach was particularly contradictory, combining a willingness to continue dialogue to resolve the problem, an emphasis on the human rights situation in the USSR, and not very consistent attempts to link the issue of amendments with other issues in bilateral relations. In 1979, before the Vienna Summit, the Carter administration was ready to circumvent de facto the restrictive provisions of the amendments without their formal repeal, but the Soviet side continued to insist firmly on their complete abolition, which predetermined the ineffectiveness of the dialogue. The authors suggest that the uncompromising position of the Soviet leaders was associated not only with considerations of political prestige, but also with a restrained assessment of the prospects for further trade, economic and technological cooperation between the superpowers.

Published: August 2024

A presente pesquisa buscou analisar os indicadores de prazer-sofrimento no trabalho docente realizado a distância, numa perspectiva geracional. Foi utilizada escala específica do Inventário sobre Trabalho e Riscos de Adoecimento, aplicada a 163 profissionais docentes do ensino superior vinculados à Universidade Aberta do Brasil e realizada a análise das médias compostas. Com o estudo, foi possível evidenciar percepções dos docentes a respeito do binômio prazer-sofrimento profissional. Foram realizadas análises entre as médias de diferentes grupos dos entrevistados, sendo verificada especial diferenciação influenciada diretamente pelo tempo de trabalho profissional e pela idade dos docentes. Os resultados da pesquisa jogam luz na importância de amparar, principalmente, os docentes mais novos e com menos experiência na docência, pois esses grupos apresentaram resultados mais críticos nos construtos analisados. Assim, essa pesquisa oferece importantes insumos com vistas à adequação da gestão dos docentes em ensino a distância.

Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar elementos e percepções relacionados à implementação da carga horária em Educação a Distância em cursos de graduação presenciais. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa de quinze artigos em Língua Portuguesa, selecionados no portal de periódicos da CAPES e no Google Acadêmico. A revisão destaca experiências ainda incipientes, muitas vezes limitadas a uma única disciplina, distantes do percentual permitido pela Portaria nº 2.117, de 2019, que é de 40%. Além disso, identificaram-se desafios na implementação da carga horária em EaD, que devem ser superados em prol da qualidade educacional. As percepções dos estudantes sobre EaD são positivas, mas ainda reverbera a necessidade de investimentos em tecnologia e formação de professores. Essa questão foi também ressaltada pelos próprios profissionais. Em vista da complexidade do tema, há a urgência de mais pesquisas e reflexões críticas, a fim de que a integração da EaD nos cursos presenciais de graduação se torne mais profícua no Brasil.

Esse estudo objetiva traçar um perfil das tendências de internação e mortalidade nos grupos cirúrgicos de 2008 a 2020 no estado do Pará. Estudo transversal e retrospectivo. Utilizou-se um modelo de regressão com dados oriundos do sistema de informações hospitalares do SUS (SIH/SUS). Em relação as tendencias de internação, o procedimento ‘Pequenas cirurgias e cirurgias de pele, tecido subcutâneo e mucosa’ obteve uma tendência decrescente significativa, já os procedimentos ‘Cirurgia de glândulas endócrinas’, ‘Cirurgia do aparelho da visão’, ‘Cirurgia em Oncologia’ e ‘Outras cirurgias’ apresentaram tendências crescente significativa, e os demais procedimentos se mantiveram estáveis. Em relação à tendência de mortalidade cirúrgica segundo os Subgrupos de Procedimentos Cirúrgicos, os procedimentos de ‘Cirurgia do sistema nervoso central e periférico’, ‘Cirurgia do sistema osteomuscular’, ‘Cirurgia do aparelho geniturinário’, ‘Cirurgia obstétrica’ e ‘Cirurgia torácica’ tiveram tendência significativa crescente, enquanto o restante permaneceu estável ou em decréscimo. O uso do banco de dados do DATASUS e a desconsideração das cirurgias realizadas em instituições privadas de saúde constituem fatores limitantes. Apesar disso, o conhecimento sobre as tendências temporais dos procedimentos cirúrgicos no Estado do Pará é de elevada importância para definição de estratégias de gestão em saúde específicas para as demandas da população paraense, contemplando os princípios doutrinários do SUS.

Published: August 2024

The aim of the study is to examine women entrepreneurs’ motivation to participate in agribusiness value chain. Specifically, the study assessed the role of demographic factors, institutional factors and socio-cultural factors on women motivation towards entrepreneurship participation based on either opportunity or necessity. The study used cross-sectional survey design in which data was collected from 219 women entrepreneurs in Kano State's agribusiness value chain. It employed binary logistic regression, a statistical method that involved observing and analyzing multiple statistical outcome variables simultaneously. This approach is particularly useful in situations where multiple measurements were made on each experimental unit. The study found that demographic, institutional and socio-cultural factors influenced women entrepreneurial motivation to agribusiness. The result indicates that educational level and age are significant demographic factors that influence women participation in agribusiness. It discovered that the probability of women to be motivated in participating in agribusiness to pursue an opportunity is decreasing with more education attainments, while, the probability of women to be motivated to participate in agribusiness is increasing with their ages. The study reveals that the probability of women to be motivated to participate in agribusiness based on opportunity is decreasing with access credit facility (IFACF), access to market (IFAM) and access to government grant and support (IFAGS). While, the probability for women to be motivated to participate based on opportunity is increasing with accessing training and other extension services (IFATES). It further indicates that the possibility for women to be motivated to participate based on necessity is increasing with socio-cultural influences, while decreasing for opportunity-pull entrepreneurs. The study highlights to policy makers that opportunity-pull entrepreneurs may not be affected by socio-cultural factors as it will do to necessity-push entrepreneurs. It has shown that the necessity entrepreneurs have limitation to exploit opportunities due to their poor background, low social networks and are only struggling to survive. This study is constrained to collect data from only women in urban areas as such the research findings is cannot be applied to those in the rural areas. The study contribute in enriching the literature by providing explanation on the role of demographic, socio-cultural and institutional factors on women who participate in agribusiness based on either necessity or opportunity.

Perkembangan globalisasi saat ini menjadi ssebuah tantangan bagi keluarga yang perlu disikapi secara selektif dan kritis. Ini karena dampak yang menyertai seperti pergeseran peran ayah dan ibu dalam keluarga, sifat konsumtif yang menjadi trend gaya hidup seseorang, adanya keterbukaan informasi tanpa batas, dan degradasi moral manusia. Keluarga sebagai azas peradaban terkecil dalam Islam memiliki peranan utama dalam merespon tantangan tersebut. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan bagaimana ketahanan keluarga menghadapi tantangan tersebut harus terus eksis sebagai bentuk keluarga berkepribadian Islami. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksplanatori dengan jenis deskriptif analitik dan pendekatan kualitatif. Adapun observasi yang dilakukan menggunakan studi pustaka. Setidaknya ada empat fokus utama dalam pembentukan ketahanan keluarga yakni : 1) Penanaman nilai spiritual sebagai pondasi dasar, 2) Implementasi sistem keluarga Islami, 3) Pendidikan anak sedari dini, 4) Menumbuhkan kesadaran bagi anggota keluarga akan adanya sanksi sosial sebagai konsekuensi dari perbuatan negatif yang dilakukan. Hasil tulisan ini memerlukan langkah lebih lanjut dari berbagai pihak baik dalam sektor pemerintahan sebagai pembuat kebijakan, hingga tingkat KUA. Selain itu, kerjasama dalam sektor pendidikan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat hingga ditingkat RT melalui penyuluhan dan sosialisasi efektif pun diperlukan..

Authors: Hoang Tuan-Dung , Le Dung Duc , Le Minh Thang 
Published: August 2024

The activated carbons (ACs) derived from okara powder waste with high surface areas were modified with ammonia aqueous solution impregnation in an autoclave to enhance their CO2 adsorption properties toward CO2. The impregnated ACs were characterized in which surface chemical composition and properties of the ACs were analyzed by SEM-EDS, FTIR. Activated carbons were functionalized with ammonia aqueous solution (25%) through a hydrothermal process within 24; 48, and 72 hours. The adsorption performance of CO2 onto carbon samples was experimentally evaluated through a breakthrough adsorption experimental setup at room temperature. FTIR spectra confirm the N-containing in N-modified activated carbons and the presence of the –C = O stretch and N-H groups. CO2 uptakes of N-modified activated carbons are 0.24; 1.47; and 1.20 mmol/g, which are relatively comparable with those of activated carbons studied in in the literature.

Published: August 2024

Case:
A 25-year-old right-hand dominant male police officer presented to the emergency department with a gunshot wound to his left shoulder. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an osteochondral defect overlying the humeral head along the mid to lower aspect of the glenohumeral joint. A staged operation with shoulder arthroscopy followed by an osteochondral allograft (OCA) of the humeral head was performed. During his 6-month postoperative visit, he had returned to full work duty with no restrictions and reported that his pain was well controlled.

Conclusion:
Humeral head OCA transplantation may be an effective treatment option for traumatic osteochondral lesions of the glenohumeral joint.

Abstract

Automotive-related shops have been recognized as significant locations for the production of mosquitoes. The potential risk posed by non-residential premises as relevant early transmission sites is sometimes neglected. In Mexico, exist more than 244 142 automotive-related shops; which are generally not regulated by any health authority. In this study, we collected and identified larvae and adults from urban automotive-related premises in the city of Villahermosa in Tabasco, southern Mexico. The analysis of the collected species and each type of non-residential premise was conducted using a Generalized Linear Model. For special analyses of collected individuals, the average nearest neighbor, general G function, Moran's Index, semi-variogram, and kriging analysis were used. A total of 676 non-residential premises were examined. The most common establishments were automobile workshops, auto body, and paint shops. Aedes aegypti was an abundant specie, followed by Ae. albopictus, and Cx. coronator. Culex interrogator, Cx. nigripalpus, Ae. taeniorhynchusand An. Albimanus were also observed. Junkyards, cemeteries, and tire repair shops exhibited a relative higher level of productivity for mosquitoes.Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus were highly clustered in the northeast part of the city. While Culex spp were more concentrated in the center-south of the city. The northern region comprises both industrial and residential properties. Our findings indicated that programs of Ae. aegypti surveillance and control should consider the epidemiological significance of automotive-related and other non-residential premises.
Phasic modulation of attentional rhythmic sampling according to task demands
Authors: Jia Jianrong , Kong Qing , Qiu Chenchen 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Attention is considered to periodically allocate cognitive resources to task-relevant stimuli, thereby sequentially sampling multiple stimuli in the temporal domain. However, whether the temporal dynamics of attentional sampling are modulated by the task at hand has yet to be fully elucidated. This study explores the dynamics of attentional sampling and the task modulation of these dynamics using high-frequency steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP). Participants were asked to select one of two visual stimuli or integrate both as a single target, with stimuli tagged at 42 Hz and 44 Hz. Analysis of SSVEP envelopes revealed the attention periodically samples at theta band (4-6 Hz) in both tasks. Notably, the phase relationship between the SSVEP envelopes differed between tasks, with distinct phases in the selection task and similar phases in the integration task. This phase modulation of the task was mediated by neural oscillations in the right frontoparietal areas. The phase difference between SSVEP envelopes correlated with behavioral performance in the integration task but not in the selection task. These results demonstrate a flexible and task-dependent mechanism for attentional rhythmic sampling, in which neural oscillations align stimuli processing according to task demands.

Abstract

Superagers, older adults with memory performance similar to middle-aged individuals, were studied to identify key neural networks responsible for their brain function connectivity. Using a previously published resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) dataset from 31 participants (14 superagers and 17 controls) examined at 3 and 7 Tesla (T) scanners, we cross-validated the findings from an Elastic Net regression model using a Random Forest algorithm. Important nodes were identified based on Mean Decrease Gini and Mean Decrease Accuracy measures. Superagers were initially phenotyped in six key preselected networks and then across eleven whole-brain networks. The study confirmed the importance of the salience and default mode networks in classifying superagers, identifying significant nodes in the precuneus, posterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, temporo-occipital junction, and extrastriate superior cortex. Whole-brain analysis highlighted novel relevant networks, including auditory, visual-lateral, and visual-medial networks. Results showed that 7T rs-fMRI provided more discriminative nodes and better predictive performance than 3T. The findings underscore the role of particular brain regions and networks related to memory and cognition in superagers and suggest that additional nodes in auditory and visual networks contribute to their cognitive resilience. These insights enhance understanding of brain resilience and preserved cognitive abilities in older adults.
A Novel Technique for Correction of Crooked Nose Deformity: Combination of Asymmetric Let-Down and Mobile Bony Cap (Meysem Yorgun Technique) Rhinoplasty
Authors: Yorgun Meysem , Çekiç Erdinç 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and aesthetic outcomes of a novel rhinoplasty technique, the M.Y. Technique, which combines asymmetric let-down and a mobile bony cap for the correction of crooked nose deformities.
Materials and Methods
This retrospective analysis included 18 patients who underwent M.Y. Technique rhinoplasty for C-shaped or reverse C-shaped crooked nose between February 2021 and May 2022. Surgical procedures were performed by a single experienced surgeon using a closed approach incorporating endotracheal intubation, local anesthesia, and the dorsal preservation technique. Osteotomies were precisely planned and executed to correct nasal asymmetries, with outcomes evaluated using GeoGebra software based on restoration of the deviation angle to the ideal 180 °.
Results
In this study of 18 patients undergoing rhinoplasty for C-or reverse C-type deformities, significant improvement was observed in deviation angles post-surgery. The preoperative mean deviation angle was 144.8 ± 4.09°, improving to 178.89 ± 2.19° postoperatively, with 14 out of 18 patients achieving an ideal angle of 180°. The change in deviation angle was statistically significant (p < 0.001), indicating substantial aesthetic and functional enhancements. Surgical success was rated excellent in 14 patients and good in four, with all patients reporting high satisfaction and no postoperative complications.
Conclusion
The M.Y. Technique, which utilizes closed-approach dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, has proven highly effective in correcting C and reverse C-type nasal deformities. This study confirmed that the technique substantially improves nasal symmetry and achieves near-ideal anatomical results in most patients, with high levels of patient satisfaction and no reported postoperative complications.
