BackgroundOrphans and vulnerable children (OVC) are a high-risk group for HIV infection, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.PurposeThis study aims to portray the socioeconomic profile of OVC and examine the association of household and parent/guardian characteristics with the HIV status of OVC.MethodsFor this quantitative retrospective study, we obtained data from ICAP/DRC for a total of 1,624 OVC from households enrolled for social, financial, and clinical services between January 2017 and April 2020 in two provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haut-Katanga and Kinshasa. We computed descriptive statistics for OVC and their parents' or guardians' characteristics. We used the chi-square test to determine bivariate associations of the predictor variables with the dichotomous dependent variable, HIV positivity status. To analyze the association between these independent variables and the dichotomous dependent variable HIV status after controlling for other covariates, we performed firth's logistic regression.ResultsOf the OVC included in this study, 18% were orphans, and 10.9% were HIV+. The chi-square analysis showed that among parents/guardians that were HIV+, a significantly lower proportion of OVC (11.7%) were HIV+ rather than HIV- (26.3%). In contrast, for parents/guardians with HIV- status, 9.0% of OVC were HIV-negative, and 11.7% of OVC were OVC+. The firth's logistic regression also showed the adjusted odds of HIV+ status were significantly lower for OVC with parents/guardians having HIV+ status themselves (AOR, 0.335; 95% CI, 0.171–0.656) compared with HIV-negative parents/guardians. The adjusted odds of HIV+ status were significantly lower for OVC with a monthly household income of &lt; $30 (AOR, 0.421; 95% CI, 0.202–0.877) compared with OVC with a monthly household income &gt; $30.ConclusionsOur results suggest that, with the exception of a few household and parent/guardian characteristics, the risk of HIV+ status is prevalent across all groups of OVC within this study, which is consistent with the existing body of evidence showing that OVC are in general vulnerable to HIV infection. With a notable proportion of children who are single or double orphans in DRC, HIV+ OVC constitute a high-risk group that merits customized HIV services. The findings of this study provide data-driven scientific evidence to guide such customization of HIV services.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundWith the popularization of the Internet and medical knowledge, more and more people are learning about allergic rhinitis (AR) on the Internet.ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and online public attention to AR in Wuhan, China, utilizing the most popular search engine in mainland China and meteorological data of Wuhan.MethodsTo study the Internet attention and epidemiological characteristics of AR in Wuhan, the search volume (SV) of “Allergic Rhinitis” in Mandarin and AR-related search terms from 1 January 2014 through 31 December 2021 were recorded. For user interest, the search and demand data were collected and analyzed.ResultsThe yearly average Baidu SV of AR in both Wuhan and China increased year by year but began to decline gradually after the COVID-19 pandemic. Baidu SV of AR in Wuhan exhibited significant seasonal variation, with the first peak was from March to May and the second peak occurring between September and October. Correlation analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation between the monthly average SV of “Allergic Rhinitis” and “Mites” and “Mites + Pollen Allergy” in Wuhan, a weak positive correlation between the monthly average SV of “Allergic Rhinitis” and “Pollen Allergy,” and a positive correlation between monthly SV of “Allergic Rhinitis” and the meteorological index of pollen allergy (MIPA).ConclusionThe attention given to the topic on the internet, as measured by the search volume, was reflective of the situation in Wuhan, China. It has the potential to predict the epidemiological characteristics of AR and help medical professionals more effectively plan seasonal AR health education.
Clinical efficacy of direct anterior approach vs. other surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on RCTs
Authors: Zhou Zhongsheng , Li Yang , Peng Yachen , Jiang Jinlan , Zuo Jianlin 
Published: October 2022

BackgroundDirect anterior approach (DAA) is an accurate technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA) through the muscle gap. Physicians who apply DAA believe that it accelerates patient recovery and results in lower rates of postoperative dislocation. However, the traditional surgical approach adherents believe that it is shorter and has fewer complications than DAA.MethodsWe use the method of META analysis to organize and analyze the data of the randomized controlled studies (RCT) obtained after our screening. To compare the clinical efficacy of DAA approach and other surgical approaches for THA.ResultsAfter rigorous screening, 15 RCT studies were included in our study, and data were extracted. The study included 1,450 patients from 15 RCTs, with a mean age of 63 years and a distribution of 52–67 years. Six weeks after the operation, the Harris hip score of the DAA approach improved by an average of 4.06 points (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.54 −5.59, P &lt; 0.01, I2 = 45%, which can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of patients. However, the 0.61 points [95% confidence interval (CI) −1.13 −2.34, P &gt; 0.01, I2 = 0%] at 3 months and 1.49 points [95% confidence interval (CI) −1.65 −2.25, P &gt; 0.01, I2 = 0%] at 12 months postoperatively. In terms of dislocation rate, results show that the use of DAAs does not reduce Dislocation Rate with significant statistical heterogeneity among study groups (95% CI 0.18–2.94 P &gt; 0.001, I2 = 0%).ConclusionThe hip function of DAA was superior to posterolateral approach (PLA) and latera approach (LA) in the early days after hip replacement, especially within six weeks. However, at six months or more after surgery, the difference was not significant. The DAA did not show a lower rate of dislocation than other surgical approaches.

Legal nature of other measures of the criminal legal character related to the limitation of the rights of persons committing crimes against the interests of the Russian Federation
Authors: Pirozhnikov Alexander 
Published: October 2022

The punitive system of combating crime that has been formed to date, according to the generally recognized position, is outdated, does not meet modern challenges and, in general, the conditions of reality. In the current conditions, other measures of a criminal law nature can have an additional effect on the perpetrators of a crime, alt-hough not punitive, but nevertheless, of an extremely important nature. This direction of development of criminal law influence is considered a priority, while it is quite complex and extremely poorly developed from a theoretical point of view. This is especially true of the direction of such influence, depending on such categories as, for example, the person-ality of the offender or the direction of the crime committed (against the person, the foun-dations of the constitutional system, etc.). Unfortunately, it should be stated that the domestic legislator has not yet paid any attention to any of the factors that could be influ-enced by the implementation of the principle of individualization of responsibility. From here, the very idea of a different impact so far is of the most general nature, and the measures themselves do not find an appropriate place in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, having the scholastic nature of their
origin and location in the law.
The use of psychological training to increase the professional self-awareness of OMON officers
Authors: Kustov Petr , Silkin Nikolay 
Published: October 2022

A key role in the prevention of negative personal changes is played by the stable professional selfawareness of OMON officers. With a reduced level of professional self-awareness, either excess of official authority is possible, which in turn will provoke significant negative consequences, or untimeliness, instability in the implementation of professional skills, which will also reduce the performance of official tasks.
To date, the problem of developing professional self-awareness among OMON officers remains poorly understood and requires further study. Psychological training can be one of the effective ways of developing professional selfawareness.
The purpose of the study is to develop a socio-psychological training for the development of professional selfawareness of OMON officers.
The article reveals the problem of finding ways to increase the professional self-awareness of employees of special units of the Russian Guard, using the example of a special mobile detachment.
Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, the authors formulated the definition of an employee’s professional self-awareness and described its structure. On the basis of the proposed model of professional self-consciousness, a training was developed and successfully tested, aimed at the formation and development of substructures of self-consciousness. The article presents data from an experimental study.
An analysis of the leading methodological approaches to studying the phenomenon of «professional selfawareness» led to the conclusion that the effectiveness of the professional activities of OMON officers depends not only on professional knowledge, skills and abilities, but also on a number of psychological factors involved in the regulation of this activity.
The effectiveness of the training program for increasing the professional self-awareness of employees is confirmed by the statistically significant development of its components, which allows us to recommend it for practical use.

The ascription of state bodies to law-enforcement agencies in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation
Authors: Olshevskiy Andrey , Gorbunova Tat'yana 
Published: October 2022

In contrast to the documents of the USSR, in which the term «law enforcement agencies» was used rather fragmentarily, in the legislation of the Russian Federation this term is used quite widely.
At the same time, there is no definition of the term “law enforcement agencies” in the legislation of the Russian Federation, and in the context of the provisions of certain regulatory legal acts, this term is given a different meaning. The list of law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation is also not legally fixed. The current situation has a negative impact on the uniform application of certain provisions of the legislation and leads to an unreasonably wide discussion on this issue.
In the article, based on the analysis of the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation on public service, the authors argue that the positions of the federal public service of other types (positions of the federal public service related to law enforcement) are currently introduced in nine federal state bodies and, accordingly, the actual presence in The Russian Federation has just such a large number of law enforcement agencies.
In order to resolve the situation described in the article, the authors conclude that it is necessary to adopt a single legislative act regulating the procedure for passing the law enforcement service, in which, among other norms, it should be expressly fixed that the list of law enforcement agencies is approved by the President of the Russian Federation.
Features of providing the results of operational search activities in the form of materialized digital traces to the body of preliminary investigation of economic crimes
Authors: Pereverzeva Ekaterina , Komov Andrei 
Published: October 2022

Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in crimes committed using high technologies, which requires working out a new theoretical approach to understanding the mechanism of the formation of virtual traces. For the above reasons, computer traces acquire special relevance in the identification, disclosure and investigation of economic crimes, special knowledge about the features of which may entail the destruction, damage or modification of the information available on them. In the period from 2010 to 2020, the number of crimes committed using high technologies increased by more than 35 times, while the number of economic crimes committed decreased (by 162%). In the course of a detailed analysis of statistical data and the reasons that contributed to this, it is possible to establish a relationship between quantitative changes in economic crimes committed and crimes committed with the use of high technologies. The article reveals the emerging trends in the development of economic crime in the conditions of computerization of public relations, examines the role of the results of operational investigative activities in the form of computer traces in the process of proving and the specifics of their provision, taking into account established judicial practice, depending on the characteristics of the regions.
The authors come to the conclusion that at present a stable position has been formed, according to which the results of operational-search activity in themselves are not evidence, but become such only after they have been given criminal procedural status through the production of investigative actions, and that it is necessary to amend the current a joint Order regulating the procedure for presenting the results of operational-search activities;

Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an innovative cancer therapy that selectively destroys only cancer cells by utilizing the reaction between boron agents, which selectively accumulate in cancer cells, and neutron beams. However, the irradiation field in BNCT is a mixture of multiple radiation types, making accurate dose evaluation difficult. For dose evaluation in cancer tissue, which is particularly important, it is essential to discriminate between neutrons and γ-rays mixed in the BNCT irradiation field and to measure them correctly. In this paper, we introduce a new method for selective measurement of neutrons and γ-rays using a thermoluminescent phosphor, which is expected to be a promising method for improving the accuracy of dose evaluations.

Authors: Savicheva E. Yu. , Pavlyuk V. P. 
Published: October 2022

Aim. The presented study aims to identify the main drivers for increasing labor productivity in the Russian economy.Tasks. Econometric modeling is used to assess the impact of fixed capital investment on labor productivity indicators in Russia and to formulate priority directions for improving labor productivity in Russia.Methods. To achieve the set aim, the authors build an econometric model that makes it possible to assess the dependence of labor productivity rates on regressors such as volume index of fixed capital investment, internal R&D costs, real accrued wages of employees, and depreciation of fixed assets (in percentage points). Data provided by the Federal State Statistics Service serves as the empirical basis of this study. R Studio software is also used.Results. It is established that the volume of fixed capital investment and the degree of depreciation of fixed assets are significant factors that can affect labor productivity rates. The results of the study also suggest that regressors such as real accrued wages of employees and internal R&D costs are insignificant factors.Conclusions. The statement that fixed capital investment serves as a basis for labor productivity growth is substantiated. Therefore, the government’s efforts in the coming years should be aimed at creating favorable conditions for increasing investment spending in the real sector of the economy. The study also focuses on the need to eradicate the phenomenon of the ‘working poor’ and to increase the efficiency of interaction between research centers and the business community.

But it is important to note that there is too much information available that if one is not careful, they can be misled and make wrong decisions. Therefore, information literacy or having the skills that will enable one to seek and access the right information is necessary. Knowing the information one needs and how to look for it is very crucial for everyday life. The way one seeks information is known as information behaviour. Having the correct information seeking behaviour will help the user to find the required information they seek. Small Scale farmers require variety of information to assist them in their endeavors. Therefore it is important for these farmers to have appropriate literacy levels and exhibit appropriate information seeking behaviour. This study sought to assess the literacy levels of small-scale farmers in Kabaa location, Mwala Sub-County, Kenya. The study objective was to establish the literacy levels of Kabaa small scale poultry farmers. The target population was 86 farmers and 2 livestock officers. Data was collected from all 86 farmers and 2 livestock officers. A pilot study was carried out at the neighboring sub-county which is Yatta sub-county since they are both semi- arid and their agricultural activities are similar. A questionnaire and an interview schedule were used as data collection instruments. The findings were analysed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 27(2020) and presented using tables, charts and graphs. The findings indicated that most Kabaa location farmers are be able to read and write and use most of the information materials available in hard copies.
