Authors: Nir Judith , Liberman Alon , Yackobovitch-Gavan Michal , Fraser Drora , Phillip Moshe , Oron Tal 
Published: December 2023

Objective
The aim of this study was to assess the extent of nondisclosure of type 1 diabetes in adolescents and investigate its association with several psychosocial parameters and clinical outcomes.

Research design and methods
This was a cross-sectional study based on data collected from 69 adolescents with type 1 diabetes who were 12–18 years of age and followed at our diabetes clinic. The degree of disclosure, demographics, diabetes management, and psychosocial issues were assessed via questionnaires. Clinical parameters were derived from medical records. Associations between nondisclosure status and clinical and psychosocial study variables were assessed.

Results
Fifty-three participants (77%) reported some extent of nondisclosure. Nondisclosure was associated with low self-esteem, reduced friend support, and increased diabetes-related worries. Nondisclosure was also found to be associated with diminished self-care behaviors related to insulin administration and with elevated A1C.

Conclusion
Our results demonstrate that nondisclosure of type 1 diabetes in adolescents may be more common than initially recognized and is likely associated with unfavorable psychological outcomes and reduced self-care and diabetes management. Our results emphasize the importance of social interactions and disclosure in adolescents and may serve as a potential stepping stone to address other social barriers hindering diabetes management.
A Pragmatic Rethinking of Glucose Monitoring for the Incarcerated
Authors: Luethy Rebecca E. , Lipinski Renee C. , West Jennifer L. 
Published: December 2023

Objective
Using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves diabetes-related outcomes in the community, yet the fingerstick blood glucose monitoring (BGM) method is the norm in prisons. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and patient perceptions of CGM in the carceral environment, quantify changes in A1C after initiating CGM, and investigate rates of emergency department (ED) visits for diabetes-related complications comparing CGM users to patients using BGM.

Study design
This pragmatic longitudinal analysis was conducted in two parts. A pilot program was carried out at a single women’s prison. A CGM program was initiated at men’s facilities within a single U.S. state, where A1C change and ED visit rates were investigated.

Methods
Interested patients at an appropriate security level were invited to use CGM. Pre- and post-CGM surveys of glucose monitoring perceptions were administered during the pilot program. Security and perceptions were analyzed descriptively. A1C change was assessed using a t test. Fisher exact test, Barnard exact test, and post hoc power analysis were applied to ED visits.

Results
Security was not disrupted. Patient perceptions of glucose monitoring improved with CGM use (n = 6). A1C declined by 0.60% with a medium effect size (Cohen d −0.45, n = 42). Power to detect a difference in ED visits was low; however, no CGM patients had an ED visit (n = 758).

Conclusion
It is safe and efficacious to replace BGM with CGM in prisons when patients are engaged in their care and are at a security level allowing CGM devices in their cells.
“Stupid Music for Stupid People”: Negotiating Class in a Small Town in Moravia
Authors: Ondřej Daniel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article examines cultural participation processes within the specific context of Tišnov, a small Czech town situated in the southeastern part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, approximately 25 kilometers away from Brno. The study was conducted among individuals actively involved in various grassroots cultural endeavors during the early 1990s, including music clubs focused on alternative genres, art film screenings, bookstores, and small art galleries. Within this setting, a narrative of cultural exclusivity emerged, which was particularly pronounced in the milieu of a small town, often framed in the context of perceived or real injustices endured during the state socialist era, as well as expressed through generational and class distinctions. The argument put forth is that in Tišnov, typically considered a prototypical small town, a select group of like-minded individuals formed a relatively cohesive taste-based community, necessitating intense competition and argumentation to establish their position within the cultural landscape. This article seeks to challenge prevailing narratives of cultural exclusivity within the framework of a small town following the dissolution of state socialism and the transformation of its class dynamics.
Polish Legislation and Health Policy against the Background of Achievement of the Assumptions and Objectives of the Measles Eradication Programme in the European Region
Authors: Kubiak Rafał , Czechowicz Sebastian 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The measles elimination programme in the European region set up by the World Health Organization was a response to the real risk of a measles epidemic in Europe. The ideas of the programme were to be integrated into national regulations to effectively counteract this threat. The end of the programme in 2020 opens the door for discussion on the further need to refine legislative and organisational solutions for measles prevention. This is even more justified as new measles outbreaks have been observed in the European region since 2018.
Poland was one of the countries in the European region to take legislative action to protect public health after 2008. However, it was only the COVID-19 pandemic that led to numerous amendments to the national legal order. This raises the question of the effectiveness and quality of national regulations against measles. This article analyses selected national regulations in relation to the objectives of the measles elimination programme in the European region. The assessment shows the need for further improvement of national legislation, as well as the need to extend the measles elimination programme in the European region to coordinate national efforts.

Introduction. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important tool in modern healthcare. It can revolutionize the ways of medical care, from diagnosis and treatment to high-tech medical care; and make adjustments to modern medical education by providing new methods of teaching and learning. This article considers the place of AI in modern healthcare and medical education, including its benefits, issues and future prospects for using these technologies.The objective was to identify opportunities, define problems, and evaluate the prospects for the use of AI in healthcare and medical education. Methods and materials. The main general scientific research methods (dialectics, induction, deduction, description, comparison, analogy) and specific scientific methods (logical-analytical, system-structural, statistical, etc.). The sources of open information served as the materials for analysis.Results. As a result of this research, the most promising directions of using AI in health care and medical education have been identified, the problems of using these technologies have been defined and ways to overcome them have been outlined.Conclusion. AI is a rapidly growing field of innovation that has the potential to transform many sectors, including health care and medical education, revolutionizing not only the ways of medical care, making it more efficient, accurate and personalized, but also modernizing teaching and learning methods in medical education. However, there are a number of problems associated with the application of AI technologies that require further research into the totality of interactions between all actors (AI technologies, patients, doctors, medical staff, etc.) and the impact of digital technologies on human capacity in terms of medical care, taking into account serious internal risks and external threats that should be considered when making decisions about the introduction of AI technologies in an uncertain, contemporary geopolitical and economic environment, as well as sanctions constraints.

Published: December 2023

В статье рассмотрены проблемы определения различных параметров конденсаторов. Предложен метод определения параметров конденсаторов, заключающийся в том, что, измеряя ток и напряжение на конденсаторе при разных частотах, получают зависимость проводимости конденсатора от частоты с последующей аппроксимацией аналитической формулой, соответствующей выбранной эквивалентной схеме замещения. Рассмотрено несколько эквивалентных схем замещения, показаны их достоинства и недостатки. Показано, что для выполнения аппроксимации можно использовать минимизацию среднеквадратичного отклонения экспериментально полученных значений от значений, полученных с помощью аппроксимирующей формулы. Кроме этого, можно использовать среднее отклонение или среднее относительное отклонение. В том случае, когда значения проводимости на различных частотах отличаются друг от друга на порядки, более эффективно использовать среднее относительное отклонение.
This paper explores various problems with credible identification of various capacitor parameters and a proposes a new method to do so. By measuring current and voltage going through the capacitor on different frequencies, the measure of capacitor’s conductivity as a frequency response is acquired. This is further approximated by an analytical formula that corresponds to the chosen equivalent circuit of a capacitor. Several examples of equivalent circuits are explored, with their pros and cons outlined. It is shown that approximation can be done by using minimization of standard deviation of experimentally acquired values from values produced by an approximation formula. Mean deviation or mean relative deviation can also be used. It is shown that If conductivity on different frequencies differs by orders of magnitude, using mean relative deviation is the most effective method.
Les diamants de synthèse et la « joaillerie écologique » : étude de cas sémiotique sur la communication de la joaillerie et ses défis
Authors: Catellani Andrea 
Published: December 2023

Cet article vise à montrer à l’œuvre une forme de sémiotique engagée à augmenter l’intelligibilité de phénomènes culturels et sociaux contemporains. Pour ce faire, nous proposons une analyse d’un type de discours spécifique, celui qui travaille à la valorisation du diamant de synthèse ou de laboratoire, notamment en mobilisant la prise de responsabilité éthique et environnementale de l’industrie diamantaire. Soumise, comme beaucoup d’autres secteurs économiques, à des critiques sur le plan de la durabilité et de l’éthique, l’industrie des diamants et des joyaux produit en effet des « formations discursives » multimodales parfois très intéressantes, qui expriment des formes de construction de valeur dans un contexte polémique, face aux défis de l’habitabilité de la planète. C’est en analysant ces formations qu’une forme spécifique de sémiotique, liée à l’héritage de l’école d’A. J. Greimas, peut montrer sa vivacité et sa contribution à la construction du savoir autour des enjeux cruciaux de notre ère.
Rythme, perception et forme de l’expression
Authors: Estay Stange Verónica 
Published: December 2023

Dans cette brève contribution, je me propose de revenir sur un ensemble de réflexions éparpillées dans plusieurs de mes travaux, afin de les systématiser en vue d’une « sémio-phénoménologie du rythme » qui, encore en attente d’être constituée, serait susceptible d’éclairer le fonctionnement du plan de l’expression dans différents langages, ainsi que son rapport à la perception. Pour ce faire, j’ai d’abord recours à l’hypothèse haptologique, en la rattachant à une gestualité profonde fondée sur la « saisie » ou la préhension, qui fait émerger la forme (de l’expression). Ensuite, je postule le caractère transversal du rythme, en tant qu’organisation du devenir de la forme et foyer de cette activité haptologique de la part du sujet percevant. Enfin, je propose de considérer le « parcours rythmique », constitué par la séquence « attaque-tension-détente » modulant la « saisie » comme l’équivalent du programme narratif, au sein d’un parcours génératif du plan de l’expression.

Laboratory Innovation to Investigate Concrete Paving Blocks Compressive Strength
Authors: Lumingkewas Riana H. , Hadiwardoyo Sigit P. , Hadiwardoyo Finno A. 
Published: December 2023

This research aims to evaluate the block method against the cube test method using variations in thickness. Paving blocks can be produced using a hydraulic machine or a simple press, and their performance can be measured based on density and compressive strength tests. The block test method shows that with the same material composition forming the paving block, a paving block with a higher thickness can lead to a lower compressive strength value. In contrast, the cube test method shows different results. The paving blocks used in this study had width and length sizes of 100 and 200 mm, respectively, and had varying heights of 60, 80, and 100 mm. The results reveal that the compressive strength of concrete paving blocks is more precise based on density. Furthermore, the empirical equation and conversion coefficient of the compressive strength of the block test to the cube test have been obtained. This empirical equation is highly recommended for the road pavement industry in controlling the quality of compressive strength, even when using block tests. Further research can help develop a formula for using additive materials in paving blocks. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-11-03 Full Text: PDF
Risks of Surface Water Pollution in Southern Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Giao Thanh , Truong Dan Hoang 
Published: December 2023

The study was carried out to assess surface water quality and ecological risks in water bodies in the southern region of Vietnam. The study used monitoring data at 58 locations, which were collected in March, May, June, July, August, October, November, and December of 2022, with 11 water quality parameters (temperature, pH, DO, TSS, BOD, COD, NH4+-N, NO3--N, Fe, Pb, and Cd). Comprehensive pollution index (CPI), ecological risk level, and multivariate statistical analysis methods were utilized. The values of CPI showed that the surface water quality was mildly polluted, moderately polluted, and severely polluted, accounting for 37.93, 46.93, and 15.52%, respectively. In particular, heavy pollution was concentrated in the water bodies of the Sai Gon and Vam Co Rivers. TSS, BOD, COD, NH4+-N, and Fe had a moderate to high level of risk, while water samples contaminated with NO3--N, Pb, and Cd had a level of risk from low to safe. High levels of risk were concentrated in the water bodies of the Sai Gon River and Vam Co River, typically BOD and COD. Based on the impact level, the positions were classified into five groups, with the locations on the Sai Gon River and Vam Co River (Groups 4 and 5) being affected by various waste sources in the inner city of Ho Chi Minh City. The PCA results presented three sources, such as discharge from residential areas, soil erosion, and agriculture, that have caused water quality fluctuations and increased the impact on the water quality of water bodies. Measures to protect water resources according to environmental protection laws must be implemented soon to minimize ecological risks from water-polluting sources.

НАЦІОНАЛЬНА МЕНТАЛЬНІСТЬ ЯК ВИКЛИК ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКИМ ЦІННОСТЯМ
Authors: Карпчук Наталія 
Published: December 2023

Європейські цінності – основоположні принципи створення, існування й розширення Європейського Союзу. Вони закріплені в офіційних документах ЄС. Їх дотримання – абсолютна вимога до всіх держав- членів і для потенційних порушників розроблено процедуру усунення проблем та, за потреби – покарання. Європейські цінності ґрунтуються на європейській ментальності, яка має глибоке коріння в історії, релігії, політиці, мистецтві, науці тощо Європи й закладає підґрунтя для спільного розуміння демократії, прав людини, рівності, верховенства права, людської гідності. Проте європейські цінності не тотожні цінностям європейців, які походять від національного менталітету, однак можуть мати свою специфіку. У статті розглянуто кейс Угорщини. Угорці мають суб’єктивне бачення
«європейського способу життя» й розглядають заходи з боку ЄС крізь призму національного суверенітету, тобто як нав’язувані, яким потрібно протистояти. Проаналізовано, як особливості національного менталітету
«експлуатуються» прем’єр-міністром Угорщини В. Орбаном, який час від часу перебуває в стані конфлікту з пан’європейськими структурами. Із 2018 р. Угорщина кілька разів пройшла дисциплінарну процедуру відповід- но до статті 7 Договору про заснування ЄС. Євродепутати звинувачують Угорщину у відході від демократичних принципів управління, перетворенні в авторитарну державу й накладають фінансові обмеження. Прем’єр-міністр не погоджується з покаранням, проте його загальна політика та конфліктність у відносинах із ЄС загалом схвально сприймається громадянами держави.

Published: December 2023

Мета статті – дослідження ефективності реалізації інструментів публічної дипломатії України як засобу «м’якої сили» в зовнішній політиці на прикладі досвіду Ізраїлю. Для досягнення мети поставлено такі завдання: проаналізувати розвиток публічної дипломатії як засобу «м’якої сили» в Україні та, зокрема, в Ізраїлі, а також визначити найбільш дієві напрями використання публічної дипломатії в умовах війни й курсу на європейську інтеграцію.
Актуальність полягає в огляді публічної дипломатії як засобу «м’якої сили» в контексті вирішення ключових викликів у міжнародних відносинах України, зокрема в умовах повномасштабного вторгнення російських окупантів, та Ізраїлю як держави, яка з початку свого існування перебуває у ворожому оточені. Досліджено ефективність використання публічної дипломатії України і її роль у покращенні ставлення до країни, а також у залученні міжнародної підтримки. Отже, дослідження розширює розуміння публічної дипломатії як засобу «м’якої сили», що дає змогу використовувати цей інструмент для підвищення іміджу держави й розширення впливу на глобальні політичні процеси.
На основі досліджень українських і закордонних дослідників здійснено огляд публічної дипломатії як засобу «м’якої сили», а також окреслено ефективність її застосування в зовнішній політиці України. Розглянувши приклад реалізації публічної дипломатії Ізраїлю після трагічних подій 7 жовтня 2023 р., сформовано стратегічні напрями діяльності та ефективного використання технології публічної дипломатії в Україні під час війни в міжнародних відносинах. Результати дослідження можуть бути використані для роботи з підвищення іміджу держави й залучення міжнародної допомоги.
У статті досліджено особливості публічної дипломатії як ефективного засобу «м’якої сили» на прикладі Ізраїлю, що слугує для регулювання міжнародних відносин і забезпечення національних інтересів України в сучасних умовах. Виокремили «лобізм» як найбільш ефективний аспект технології м’якої сили, який наразі потребує реформування та розвитку.
