Abstract
With the passage of time, the Inner Harbour of Macao has experienced changes, prosperity and decline. For a long time, the twin problems of flood and transformation of the traditional business district have been the ones primarily responsible for affecting the development of the Inner Harbour. This paper analyses the Inner Harbour region through the form of five layers. Based on these factors, the cultural, economic and ecological characteristics of the Inner Harbour are summarised. The paper mainly studies solutions to the problems of flooding, and presents flood control initiatives that can prevent waterlogging in the Inner Harbour, so as to enhance and activate the old city waterfront.
Mathematical analysis of civil litigation and empirical research of corporate governance
Authors: Liu Junling , Formaneck Steven 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In addition to reducing R&D investment and changing senior managers or corporate name, the significant uncertainty and reputation shock brought by civil litigation may also have a vital impact on corporate governance of the sued company. We use A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2011 to 2018 to empirically examine the impact of civil litigation on corporate governance and its mechanism. It is found that, civil litigation is negatively correlated with corporate governance, and financing liabilities (FL) play an intermediary role in the negative correlation. Furthermore, judicial local protectionism weakens the negative correlation between civil litigation and corporate governance. Finally we close with directions for future research.

Abstract

Objective
To investigate the efficacy of conventional rehabilitation alone and conventional rehabilitation combined with aerobic training on muscle strength and function, health condition, and quality of life for patients with stable idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).

Methods
This is a historical retrospective cohort study, in which the medical records of patients with IIM, who received the combination of conventional rehabilitative therapy and aerobic training (combined training group [CTG]), from February 2015 to December 2017 were reviewed. Patients with IIM who received conventional therapy alone were matched based on their age, gender, and disease activity as the control group (CG). Scores obtained on manual muscle testing of eight designated muscles (MMT8) was the primary outcome measure, and scores on the myositis Functional Index-2 (FI-2), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and 36-item Short Form Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire (SF-36) at 12 weeks during training were the secondary outcomes.

Results
Fifty-six patients (28 in the CTG and 28 in the CG) were included in this analysis. Patients in both groups had improved MMT8, FI-2, HAQ, and SF-36 scores after 12 weeks of physical therapy. The CTG had a significantly higher score on the MMT8 and HAQ than the CG in the 12th week. The FI-2 scores were significantly higher in the CTG for the four items (P < 0.05) of hip flexion, step test, heel lift, and toe lift. SF-36 scores of the CTG were also higher than those of the CG for the five items (P < 0.05) of physical functioning, general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health.

Conclusions
Physical exercise training including conventional rehabilitation and aerobic training improved muscle function, health condition, and quality of life. Conventional rehabilitative training combined with aerobic training achieved better improvement compared with conventional rehabilitation training alone.
On the Implementation of the WHO Guiding Principles on Human Cell, Tissue and Organ Transplantation
Authors: Bogomazova I. O. 
Published: April 2022

Consideration of the Law of Ukraine «On the use of transplantation of anatomical materials to humans» № 2427-VIII through the prism of the Guidelines allows to demonstrate their genetic links, and thus opens the logic of the historical development of transplantation legislation in Ukraine.
A comparative analysis of the text of the Guiding Principles and the Law gives grounds to claim that a set of legal means was used for the implementation of the former by the legislator, namely various forms of transformation and reception. It should be noted that the implementation of the Guidelines has not been fully implemented due to the national legislator's rejection of the idea of emotional connection between donor and recipient as a basis that legitimizes medical intervention. The rest of the provisions of the Law provide a level of guarantees that meet, and in part exceed, that set out in the Guidelines.
Patient Funds and Their Legal Status Through the Prism of the Historical Experience of the Precarpathian Region (1919–1939)
Authors: Soroka O. Y. 
Published: April 2022

Based on archival, published historical documents, as well as other available information sources, the peculiarities of the legal status of patient funds that had been operated in the Precarpathian region during the Polish period in 1919–1939 years (the ІІ Republic of Poland, in polish II Rzeczpospolita Polska), were discussed in light of a prototypical health insurance system.
It was found that modern domestic experience, although small, shows that the peculiarities of the legal status of patient funds, which operated in the Precrpathian region during the Polish period in 1919–1939 as a prototype of health insurance, have the potential to use positive historical experience and understanding of the problem of state regulation of medical activities.
It is established that the legal status of patient funds, ie their position in the legal reality, is reflected in the constituent documents, and, particularly, in the main of them – in the statute of these organizations. The analysis of these documents allows determining the features of the regulation of their activities in relation with society and the state, the set of rights and responsibilities of both the organization in general and its members in particular.
The vision of the present through a kind of prism of the past contributes to a better understanding of management processes and decisions, helps to understand the inner life of a certain historical period with all its manifestations and ideas, and helps to better understand modern state policy to build an effective system of health care in general and health insurance in particular.

Published: April 2022

Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been widely used and researched in recent years due to their wide application in several areas such as solar cells, catalysis and their chemical, non-toxic and electrical properties. Thus, this work aimed to study the catalytic potential of these nanomaterials through the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, for which TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by the hydrothermal method and decorated with gold nanoparticles obtained by the Turkevich method (TiO2/Au) were used. The catalyst proved to be active for the catalysis of benzyl alcohol oxidation, with a yield of about 73% for the TiO2/Au catalyst and 1.4% for the TiO2 catalyst. Additionally, it was observed that the catalyst was selective, since the GC-MS and FTIR spectra showed only benzaldehyde as the final reaction product. The selective oxidation of alcohols is one of the most significant transformations in organic chemistry, as it is essential for the production of industrial intermediates.
Analysis of Waste Minimization Challenges to European Food Production Enterprises
Authors: Grinberga-Zalite Gunta , Zvirbule Andra 
Published: April 2022

Economic growth increases the pressure on environmental issues, thus highlighting the importance of waste minimization processes. The waste management approaches in most European countries have so far been relatively little studied and compared at the micro level. The main objective of the current research is to analyze the challenges of waste minimization in European food industry enterprises and identify good practices in the selected countries. The research used a mixed-method methodology, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, thus providing an in-depth insight into food enterprises’ efforts to reduce their production waste and use their resources more efficiently. The main data collection methods used for the study were secondary data research, discourse analysis, case studies, and focus group interviews. The analysis of the food waste management applications in the European countries’ food sub-sectors leads to the conclusion that since the national initiatives and success factors vary between the countries, it is important to invent such national food waste management systems that are economically justified and technically available for all enterprises regardless of their food waste production volumes. It is also necessary to raise awareness of the strategies that food industry employers, employees, and consumers can use to reduce their waste and thus promote a waste minimization culture in Europe.

Published: April 2022

Economic growth can be defined by real gross domestic value and international imports and exports supported by technology and innovation. Currently, there are concerns about the level of international technological policy investment, despite having the capability to be macroeconomically and business-valuable. The main objective of this research is to study the attributions in relationships and associations between the policy implications of technological business (PITB) and the effort of technology and innovation acceptance capacity (TIAC), which influence capacity development and foresight to ensure effective Japanese foreign policies. This research has been fully justified through business policy receiving technology and innovation, the potential for technology and innovation adoption (PTIA) and innovation for firm performance (IFP) of Japanese joint venture companies in Thailand was examined. Fifty-seven companies were subjected to the structural equation model testing method. Data collection was conducted by the questionnaire and an in-depth interview with validity and reliability checked under 4 main latent variables: PITB, TIAC, PTIA, and IFP. All processing was performed with the ADANCO 2.2.1 program. The research found that PITB had a positive correlation and directly influenced PTIA and IFP unless it had an inverse correlation to TIAC and the relationship between TIAC and PTIA. It can serve as a guide for how to correctly carry out the principle of creating a new Japan's foreign policy in the future. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-03-09 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Álvarez Pazuña Lesly Katerine , Martínez Yacelga Ana del Rocío 
Published: April 2022

La resiliencia se pone a prueba en circunstancias difíciles y más aún en la etapa universitaria, puesto que está asociada a demandas sociales, ambientales, emocionales inherentes a las exigencias académicas, las mismas que pueden saturar al individuo llevándolo a un estado de malestar psicológico. A esto se añade la situación sanitaria generada por el Covid 19, que obligó al estado ecuatoriano a establecer recomendaciones de salud pública, distanciamiento social, entre otras medidas las cuales generaron cambios en la rutina diaria que demandan un transcurso de adaptación mediado por comportamientos resilientes, que mitiguen el desarrollo de alteraciones de salud mental. En este sentido, el objetivo general de la presente investigación fue determinar la relación existente entre la resiliencia y el malestar psicológico en estudiantes universitarios del cantón Latacunga, usando un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo y correlacional, de corte transversal. Para ello se requirió de la participación de 346 estudiantes universitarios, a quienes se administró la Escala de Resiliencia de Walding (RS-14), la Escala de Malestar Psicológico de Kessler (K-10), y el Cuestionario de Salud General de Goldberg (GHQ-28). Los resultados revelaron correlación negativa media entre los factores Competencia Personal y Depresión Grave (-,473; p<,01), así como entre los factores Aceptación con uno mismo y la vida, y Ansiedad (-,459; p<,01).

Published: April 2022

En el presente trabajo se analizan los conceptos fundamentales relacionados con el trazado urbano y las distancias caminables para el caso la ciudad de Guayaquil, la metodología tiene un enfoque mixto, resume el significado de ciudad, su origen, formas o morfología y el espacio público, como elemento estructurante, cuyas manzanas o bloques permitan detectar y cuantificar las distancias caminables y la capacidad del hombre en recorrer desde un punto de interés y núcleos de convergencia hacia otros y viceversa. Para el análisis cuantitativo se identifican tres núcleos funcionales de interés, como son los mercados o lugares de abastos que estuvieron operativos durante las restricciones impuestas por la pandemia COVID 19: Mercado Central, Mercado la Casuarina y Centro de abastos de la Alborada. Sobre estos escenarios se desarrolla el concepto retícula y distancias caminables a priori estimado en 400 metros, así como también se somete en contraste con los polígonos que definen a las supermanzanas. Los principales resultados evidencian que tanto la retícula y las supermanzanas son viables y aplicables donde predomina el uso residencial e incide en la superficie destinada a la circulación, así como también otros espacios de uso púbico tales como parques, plazas, equipamientos y los aspectos en materia de seguridad vial y servicios. Finalmente se concluye que, el polígono de La Alborada, con la actividad de abastos y uso predominantemente residencial, es idóneo y sirve de referente para ampliar el concepto de retícula en diagonal con supermanzanas en sus catorce etapas, identificando sus diferentes núcleos de interés.
