HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION IN PREGNANT WOMEN AT JIBLAH UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN JIBLAH CITY, YEMEN
Authors: Al-Mohani Sadeq Kaid Mohammed , Almohani Osama Sadiq Kiad 
Published: May 2024

Background: Infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a worldwide public health concern. About half of the transmission routes of chronic HBV infections in endemic areas are through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), with HBV infection primarily occurring during infancy and early childhood. One of the most important steps in lowering the prevalence of chronic HBV worldwide is MTCT prevention. The majority of MTCT is caused via natal transmission, therefore immunizing babies against disease is a highly effective method of preventing natal transmission.Objective: This study was conducted to study the epidemiology of hepatitis B virus among pregnant women attending Jiblah University Hospital in Ibb Governorate, Yemen.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted and 154 pre-designed questionnaires and serum samples were collected from October to December 2023 to detect seroprevalence and associated risk factors for markers of HBV (HBsAg) among pregnant women at Jiblah University Hospital in Jiblah City, Yemen. Sera were tested for HBsAg by quantitative ELISA.
Results: The study reported that, the seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus was 2.6%. The prevalence of HBsAg was more prevalent in illiterate pregnant women. Educational status has been revealed as a predictor of hepatitis B virus infection.
Conclusion: This study revealed a moderate level of risk of hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant women.

Unilateral Sanctions under International Law and Effectiveness of Blocking
Authors: Boklan D. S. , Koval V. V. 
Published: May 2024

INTRODUCTION. This article discusses modern international legal concept of unilateral sanctions. The authors contribute to the emerging discussion on the qualifying of unilateral sanctions under international law.MATERIALS AND METHODS. In this study we took into account the works of both Russian and foreign scholars in the field of international economic law, as well as analyzed documents and materials of international organizations (United Nations (UN), World Trade Organization (WTO) and others) in order to assess the compatibility of unilateral sanctions with international law. General scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction), special legal methods (formal-legal, technical-legal, method of legal analogy) and comparative legal method were used in the presented research.RESEARCH RESULTS. Presented analysis has shown that widely used term “unilateral sanctions” leads to abusive and inappropriate use of international legal term. Analysis of compatibility of unilateral sanctions with other types of coercive measures such as countermeasures, UN Security Council sanctions, retortions, reprisals have shown that unilateral sanctions do not fall under the meaning of all mentioned measures. In addition, unilateral sanctions should not be justified under the WTO security exceptions. The use of extraterritorial unilateral sanctions contradicts one of the fundamental principles of international law – principle of non-interference in internal affairs. Existing blocking unilateral sanctions mechanisms are not efficient enough to compensate negative effect posed by unilateral sanctions.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. Authors concluded that unilateral sanctions in most of the cases do not satisfy cumulative criteria of legitimate countermeasure. Unilateral sanctions are not equivalent to the United Nation Security Council sanctions, as there are no “checks and balances” in the decision-making process in the form of determining the degree of threat to peace and security and taking into account humanitarian exceptions. Although there is some correlation between unilateral sanctions and retortions or reprisals, retortions and reprisals posses criteria of legality and proportionality, while, unilateral sanctions are introduced at the state’s discretion without any standard. Furthermore, the authors argue that to avoid abusive use of the WTO security exceptions WTO panels have to rely on the well-balanced approach used by the Panel in Russia – Transit case. This approach shows that the context of security exception should be understood as encompassing only military and closely related to military issues and does not cover political, economic, cultural or any other interests and relations. Existing blocking mechanisms of unilateral sanctions require separate qualification under international law including compatibility with the legitimate countermeasures.
Correlation between the Arbitrators’ Discretion and the Natural Justice in Arbitration Proceedings
Authors: Kapustina N. A. 
Published: May 2024

INTRODUCTION. This article discusses the ap­proaches developed by the courts of the Asia-Pacific region (on the example of Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia) on the relationship between the arbitrators’ discretion when considering disputes and the obser­vance of the principle of natural justice.The purpose of the article was to analyze the ap­proaches of national courts to the interpretation of the principle of natural justice in the context of the imple­mentation by arbitration of its discretionary powers in resolving disputes submitted to them. The risk that the arbitrators fail to find a balance between discretionary powers and natural justice is that the award may be set aside.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study was based on the analysis of national legislation of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the practice of ar­bitration centers and judicial bodies, as well as the ex­isting positions of researchers specialized in the natu­ral justice issues and practitioners in the field of international commercial arbitration. The methodo­logical basis of the research includes general scientific (analysis) and special legal (comparative legal) methods.RESEARCH RESULTS. International commercial arbitration is widely regarded as an alternative dis­pute resolution mechanism to litigation in national courts. However, national courts are often involved in reviewing arbitral awards in the context of their set­ting aside in order to ensure that the arbitral proce­dure complies with the fundamental principles of nat­ural justice. The understanding of the principle of natural justice is not the same in all jurisdictions and depends on the venue of the arbitration, as well as on what rules the parties have agreed to govern the pro­ceedings. Arbitral discretion is important in filling the gaps left by the rules and guidelines formulated by various arbitral institutions and practices.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The author considers the approaches of the courts of Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia ensuring a balance between arbitrators ‘discretion and compliance with the princi­ple of natural justice, and also, based on the analyzed practice, suggests ways to minimize the risk of annul­ment of an arbitral award due to a violation of natural justice, namely the need for an established procedural protocol, which would provide certainty and eliminate problems arising in connection with the application of discretion by arbitration.

Published: May 2024

Objective: This study aims to explore stakeholders' perspectives on the "1+X" certificate policy and its impact on innovative teaching methods to enhance instructors' core abilities at vocational colleges. It also aims to develop a management model for innovation processes based on this policy and instructors' essential skills.

Theoretical Framework: The project involves key stakeholders, including executives, teachers, and students. Consequently, this study commences with an exploration of the policy implementation process, drawing upon the practical experiences of these key stakeholders. Subsequently, it seeks to evaluate the proficiency levels of university teachers. Lastly, it endeavors to examine the relationship between the key factors of the innovative management process and teachers' competencies.

Method: Using a sequential exploratory mixed-method approach, qualitative data was collected from vocational college administrators, industrial managers, and certified instructors in Yunnan and Chongqing in 2023. A purposive sample of 30 individuals was analyzed using data from institutional reports, interviews, and focus groups, with thematic analysis for interpretation.

Results and Discussion: Qualitative findings identified three key factors affecting the management of innovative teaching processes and teachers' core competencies: policy implementation, training, and knowledge transfer. Based on these insights, the PTKT model was proposed and empirically tested with PLS-SEM. Results showed that knowledge transfer plays a mediating role between policy implementation and teacher core competencies, as well as between training and teacher core competencies, with all hypotheses supported.

Research Implications: The study provides dual recommendations. For innovation management, it suggests administrators and HR managers focus on continuous skill development before, during, and after training, emphasizing aspects such as recruitment, selection, fostering a supportive work environment, and enhancing knowledge transfer. For future research, it proposes adopting action research methodologies, customizing courses, and engaging in project-based training and R&D activities to facilitate mutual learning.

Analysis of different modiҥcations of the CABARET scheme applied for approximation of the system of gas-dynamic equations
Authors: Колотилов В.А. , Остапенко В.В. 
Published: May 2024

На основе метода квазиинвариантов построены различные модификации схемы CABARET, аппроксимирующие систему уравнений газовой динамики неизоэнтропических течений. Проведен сравнительный анализ точности этих модификаций при расчете трех различных задач Римана (в частности, задач Сода и Лакса) о распаде начального разрыва в политропном газе. Показано, что некоторые модификации схемы CABARET могут иметь существенные преимущества по сравнению с другими модификациями этой схемы относительно различных критериев, связанных с оптимальной локализацией сильных и слабых разрывов точного решения.
In this paper, we construct various modifications of the CABARET scheme that approximate the system of nonisentropic gas dynamics equations. The construction of these modifications relies on representation of conservation laws using various non-divergent forms and using the method of quasi-invariants. Each family of these invariants corresponds to its own modiҥcation of the CABARET scheme. The algorithm of the resulting CABARET scheme is given for the case when in the calculated exact solution the characteristics of one family are unidirectional, i. e. velocity distribution of these characteristics does not change sign. A comparative analysis for the accuracy of these modiҥcations was carried out when calculating the Sod problem on the attenuation of an initial discontinuity in a polytropic gas. Based on this analysis, a modification was chosen that most accurately localizes strong and weak discontinuities in the exact solution and has the smallest integral imbalance and the best order of convergence. Further, this modification of the CABARET scheme was compared with the best modification obtained from the previous work on various test problems (including the Lax problem) without changing the sign of the rate characteristics. The given complex analysis has shown that the new modification has better convergence compared to the modification from the previous work. Also, using the example of the Riemann problem of two divergent strong discontinuities, it was shown that it is impossible to correctly determine the order of local convergence of the numerical solution to the exact one in zones of constant ѕows located in the areas of inѕuence of shock waves in the considered modifications of the CABARET scheme.
