Abstract

The goal of this paper was to determine the role of inclusiveness of education in ensuring demographic security in Central Asia as a subject of the world economy and to identify the perspective of strengthening this security through the improvement of the educational system’s performing this role. The research was conducted based on the statistics of the UN, WIPO, and the World Bank for 2023, with the help of the methods of analysis of variance and correlation, regression, and trend analysis. As a result, the monitoring of the inclusiveness of the system of education and demographic security of Central Asia was conducted. It revealed that demographic security, same as inclusiveness of the system of higher education in countries of Central Asia in 2023, are high on the whole, but have a large growth potential. The factor analysis of the demographic security of Central Asia from the positions of inclusiveness of the system of education was conducted, and econometric models were compiled. They showed that the most significant and non-contradictory factors of the inclusiveness of education, which define demographic security, are scope of the higher education among the population, the share of graduates of academic and engineering specialities, and gender neutrality of the system of education. The perspective of strengthening the demographic security of Central Asia through an increase in the inclusiveness of the system of education was identified. The theoretical significance of the obtained results is connected with the fact that they disclosed the cause-and-effect relationships between demographic security with the inclusiveness of the system of higher education in Central Asia. The practical significance of the author’s recommendations for the increase in the inclusiveness of the system of higher education is that their implementation will allow for the fullest development of the potential for strengthening of demographic security of Central Asia in the period until 2030.

The development of e-commerce presents significant opportunities for Muslims to engage in digital transactions that align with Islamic legal principles. This study aims to analyse the application of Shariah-compliant contracts, specifically murabahah and salam, in digital transactions and identify the challenges faced in their implementation. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this research examines the validity of these contracts in e-commerce based on fiqh al-muamalat, DSN-MUI fatwas, and maqasid al-shariah. The findings reveal that murabahah and salam contracts are highly adaptable to e-commerce due to their emphasis on transparency and fairness. However, several key challenges were identified, including the potential for gharar caused by inaccurate product descriptions, the contentious validity of digital ijab and qabul, and the risk of riba in instalment-based payment systems. Proposed solutions include strengthening regulations tailored to Shariah-compliant e-commerce platforms, educating consumers and business actors on Shariah-compliant contracts, and providing more transparent transaction mechanisms to minimise gharar. This study concludes that implementing Shariah-compliant contracts in e-commerce aligns strongly with maqasid al-shariah, particularly in safeguarding wealth and ensuring justice for all parties involved.

A reliable, economical, sensitive and reproducible RP-HPLC was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of Teneligliptin (TENE) and Pioglitazone (PIO) in combined dosage form. In the RP-HPLC method the mobile phase used was Acetonitrile: 5mM potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KH2PO4) buffer (60:40) at PH 3.6 and flow rate was 1.0 ml per min. The method was scanned at isosbestic point 238 nm for both the drugs. The linearity range for TENE and PIO was found to be 0.1-500 µg/ml and 0.500 µg/ml with regression correlation coefficient of (R2) 1.000 and 0.999 respectively. The LOD and LOQ for TENE was found to be 0.002645 and 0.0801 and for PIO was found to be 0.017727 and 0.05371 respectively. The retention time for Teneligliptin andPioglitazone was found to be 2.678 min and 5.010 min respectively. The percentage Assay for TENE and PIO was found to be 97.90-100.69%w/w and 98.53-99.58% w/w respectively. The developed method RP-HPLC was validated as per ICH guidelines.

Resistant hypertension (RH) presents a significant clinical challenge, often requiring multi-faceted management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the Aldosterone-to-Renin Ratio (ARR) as a diagnostic tool in identifying potential hormonal contributors to RH. Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from 852 patients diagnosed with RH at Nandha College of Pharmacy, Erode between December 2023 and March 2024. Patients met specific criteria for RH, including uncontrolled blood pressure despite treatment with three or more antihypertensive agents from different classes, including a diuretic. Exclusion criteria included secondary causes of hypertension. ARR was calculated by dividing serum aldosterone concentration by plasma renin activity, with a ratio ≥ 20 considered suggestive of primary aldosteronism. Results: A strong association between advancing age and RH was observed, with mean age progressively increasing from 25.67 years in the youngest age group to 76.12 years in the oldest. Approximately 59.15% of hypertensive patients had RH, with nearly half (46.63%) attributable to evident secondary causes. Notably, the remaining 53.37% lacked a clear secondary cause. Analysis of ARR revealed a statistically significant positive correlation with age, suggesting a potential link between aging and hormonal dysregulation within the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Patients with RH also exhibited higher body weights, BMI, and waist circumferences compared to those with controlled hypertension. Conclusion: This study suggests that ARR may be a valuable tool for identifying potential hormonal contributors to RH, particularly in older patients. The observed association between age, ARR, and RH highlights the need for age-tailored management strategies that incorporate hormonal assessment and address modifiable risk factors such as obesity. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the clinical implications of ARR-guided management in RH.

In September 2024, an Expert Council via videoconference was held to discuss innovative approaches to the tactics of diagnosis and therapy of influenza in children and adolescents in Russian Federation.Influenza is characterized by high morbidity and mortality, leading to 28,000 deaths annually worldwide among children.Influenza causes significant economic damage, ranking 4th among all infectious diseases in 2023 in Russian Federation. During the 2022­2023 period, there was an increase in influenza incidence with a traditionally high rate of infection among children. Newborns, children under 5 years old, and children with comorbidities are at high risk for complications. An analysis of influenza mortality shows that comorbidity is an aggravating factor in almost half of the cases.Timely diagnosis and etiotropic therapy are key in the treatment of influenza. The focus should be on etiological confirmation of the diagnosis within the first 24 hours from disease manifestation to prescribe specific antiviral therapy. Although laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis is recommended, during periods of high incidence, the diagnosis can be made based on clinical and epidemiological data. For final verification of the “influenza” diagnosis, the widespread use of certified rapid tests is proposed.According to the updated WHO guidelines published in September 2024, two medicines are recommended for the treatment of influenza — baloxavir and oseltamivir. Baloxavir marboxil significantly reduces the virus shedding time and has a favorable safety profile for children and adolescents. This makes it the medicine of choice, especially in cases of high risk of complicated influenza infection.Given the high importance of influenza in the structure of childhood morbidity, it is crucial to continue improving methods of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease, especially in children.
Rabies in the Middle East: Causes of Spread, Methods of Control and Prophylaxis: A Review of the English Language Sources
Authors: Khatib Ya. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. According to statistics, rabies causes death of almost 59,000 people per year worldwide, but information about the cases of rabies in animals and people in the Middle East is scarce and not always reliable, whereas the region is deemed to be one of the most troublesome in terms of rabies, that makes the present research relevant. The aim of the review is to summarize the data from the literature sources published in the English language referring to the causes of rabies spread in the Middle East, methods of control of this highly dangerous infectious disease and the issues of prophylaxis measures efficiency.Materials and Methods. The search for the material for reviewing was conducted in the electronic libraries PubMed, Web of Science, MDPI.com, etc. The search covered the sources published during the last 15 years in the English language only. The search was conducted by the keywords: rabies, Middle East, spread, prophylaxis, vaccination. The material that passed screening was analysed, systematised, and presented in a form of a figure, table, and PRISMA flow chart.Results. The review has led to the conclusion that the situation with rabies spread in the Middle East is not uniform. Thus, Cyprus, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are recognised as rabies free, which is mainly due to the (semi)isolated geographical location of some of these countries. In the majority of the Middle East countries, the situation is far from being favourable: people undergo a high risk of getting infected by both dogs and wild animals. The main methods of control of this zoonosis that could be emphasized are those targeted at raising awareness of the population about the deadly danger of this infectious disease, the modes of its transmission, symptoms and the importance of timely preventive vaccination of people and domestic animals.Discussion and Conclusions. On the whole, the aim of the conducted review on summarising the existing information on the causes of rabies spread in the Middle East and the main methods of control of this disease including the prophylaxis methods has been achieved. However, even though the review sample was quite big, in our opinion, the selected sources do not always truly reflect the situation concerning rabies in the studied territory. This can be explained by the objective and subjective reasons. The former include, for example, the instability of the epizootic and geopolitical situation, which hinders collection and analysis of statistical veterinary and medical reports. Among the subjective reasons, the considerable rabies incidence in the wild animals could be named, which ends in their death and is hardly ever recorded anywhere. The key aspect of prophylaxis is vaccination of animals and people against rabies. Despite all difficulties, it is necessary to ensure the availability of Human Rabies Immune Globulin and vaccines for animals in sufficient quantities in the Middle East countries.
Helminth Fauna of Bats of the Rostov Region: Review. 4. Acanthocephala. General Conclusions
Authors: Evsyukov A. P. , Potapenko I. O. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. The thorny-headed worms (Acanthocephala) are a small group of helminths, currently classified as a phylum. Adult helminths live in the intestines of various vertebrates. Eggs are excreted into the environment with feces, and in this way infest the arthropods, who are the intermediate hosts. The life cycles of some acanthocephala species can get complicated due to inclusion of the facultative, transport, paratenic or postcyclic hosts. Сhiropterans can be the definitive, intermediate or paratenic hosts for the various groups of parasitic worms, therefore they are an important link in the epizootic chains of spreading the invasive diseases. The aim of the articles of this series is to study the species composition of helminths parasitizing in bats of the Rostov Region. In the fourth paper of this series, we present data on thorny-headed worms and sum-up the previously published information.Materials and Methods. The research materials were the articles from the open access databases: PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), CyberLeninka (cyberleninka.ru), Google Scholar (scholar.google.com), BHL (www.biodiversitylibrary.org), JSTOR (www.jstor.org), etc. Some data were provided by the colleagues. Results. The list comprising three species of thorny-headed worms that can parasitize in bats in Rostov region was compiled. While analysing the literature sources, one more Nematoda species, not mentioned by us previously, was added to the list of nematodes.Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the review revealed that 15 bat species living in the Rostov region can be parasitized by 3 or 4 Acanthocephala species of 3 genera, 2 families and 2 orders. In total, 104 helminth species of three phyla can parasitize in chiropterans in the Rostov region: Nematoda, Platyhelminthes and Acanthocephala. Whereas, the largest number of parasites falls on the class Trematoda – 42 species. The largest number of helminth species was recorded in the serotine bat (54 species) and the common noctule (50 species). The least amount (4 species) – in the soprano pipistrelle. Our data show that the helminth fauna of bats in the Rostov region, Russia and in the world as a whole is still poorly studied. At the same time, some of the parasitic worm species distinguished in our research have the veterinary and medical significance, moreover, bats participate in the epizootic chains as the facultative hosts.
Kuolleisuuden sosioekonomiset erot Englannissa ja Walesissa
Authors: Goldblatt Peter 
Published: January 2025

Englannin ja Walesin sosiaali- ja ammattiryhmien kuolleisuuseroista on ollut käytettävissä tietoja jo vuosikausia. Tiedot on yleensä saatu suhteuttamalla kunkin väestölaskennan ikävuosina tapahtuneet kuolemantapaukset väestölaskennan vastaavaan väestömäärään. Nämä aineistot ovat kuitenkin käytettävissä vain kymmenen vuoden välein, ja niihin voivat vaikuttaa tietoisuuteen liittyvät eroavuudet sekä ajalliset tapahtuvat muutokset sosiaali- ja ammattiryhmien jakaumissa.
Kirjoituksessa tarkastellaan viimeaikaisia tutkimuksia kuolleisuuden kehityksestä niissä sosioekonomisissa poikkileikkausaineistoissa. Jotta voidaan tarkastella tulosten valideja puutteita, esitetään myös OPCS:n (Office of Population Censuses and Surveys) pitkittäisaineistosta (Longitudinal Study, LS) tehtyjä analyysejä. Tämän lisäksi esitetään lyhyt yhteenveto pitkittäisaineistolla saaduista vaihtoehtoisia sosioekonomisia mittareita koskevista viimeaikaisista tuloksista.
Poikkileikkaustutkimukset viittaavat siihen, että sosiaaliluokkien väliset erot ovat kasvaneet vuodesta 1931, mutta ns. artefaktiselitykset kehitykselle eivät ole poissuljettuja. Pitkittäisaineistosta tehdyt tutkimukset vahvistavat, että erot ovat kasvaneet jatkuvasti ja asettavat artefaktiselitykset kyseenalaisiksi. Vaihtoehtoisten sosioekonomisten luokitusten tarkastelu osoittaa, ettei erittäin korkea kuolleisuus liity vain huono-osaisiin pieniin tai pieneneviin ryhmiin.
Psychometric properties of the sexual machismo scale (EMS-SEXISMO-12) in adults
Authors: Gonzales Ortiz Esther 
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Machismo is explained as the system of beliefs, attitudes and behaviors based on the polarization of the sexes and the superiority of the male gender. In the sexual sphere, it is the control that is exercised over a woman in relation to the expression of her sexuality under what is considered acceptable. Therefore, it is considered convenient to have instruments to measure this variable. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric characteristics of the sexual machismo scale (Ems-sexismo-12) in adults. Method: The methodology used was of an applied nature, with a non-experimental approach and instrumental design, applying the instrument to a sample made up of 530 adults (M=308 and F=222) aged between 18 and 65 years, obtained through non-probabilistic sampling by quotas of the districts of Piura. The content validity, confirmatory factor analysis (WLSMV estimator), internal consistency and reliability of the scale were evaluated. Results: The results showed content validity in the items (Aiken's V > .70). For its part, after the confirmatory factor analysis, a unidimensional structure was revealed with satisfactory goodness-of-fit indices (CFI = .96; TLI = .95; RMSEA = .08; SRMR = .06). Likewise, reliability is evidenced with acceptable values (ω = .83). Conclusion: The EMS-12 scale proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for adults.
CLEAR LIGHT OF DAY: A FOCUS ON THE THEMES OF MEMORY AND TIME
Authors: Talukder Md. Jobaar , Biswas Prakash Chandra 
Published: January 2025

Clear Light of Day, one of the classic works of South Asian writer Anita Desai, focuses primarily on time and memory. In this novel she has skillfully portrayed how time and memory influence the personal and familial life, identities and relationships of individuals. Being set at the backdrop of Old Delhi, the novel reflects the importance of time and memory. Eventually, how time works as destroyer as well as preserver and how significant role memory plays in every individual’s life become the pivotal themes in Clear Light of Day. The novel explores the lives of the members of the Das family through the lenses of time and memory. Desai has used the concept of time of T. S. Eliot who remarks time as the “Destroyer and Preserver” and it has given the novel a profound base. This paper focuses closely on the roles and thematic exploration of time and memory in Clear Light of Day.
