CDC Program Evaluation Framework, 2024.

Program evaluation is a critical tool for understanding and improving organizational activities and systems. This report updates the 1999 CDC Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health (CDC. Framework for program evaluation in public health. MMWR Recomm Rep 1999;48[No. RR-11];1-40) by integrating major advancements in the fields of evaluation and public health, lessons learned from practical applications of the original framework, and current Federal agency policies and practices. A practical, nonprescriptive tool, the updated 2024 framework is designed to summarize and organize essential elements of program evaluation, and can be applied at any level from individual programs to broader systems by novices and experts for planning and implementing an evaluation. Although many of the key aspects from the 1999 framework remain, certain key differences exist. For example, this updated framework also includes six steps that describe the general process of evaluation planning and implementation, but some content and step names have changed (e.g., the first step has been renamed Assess context). The standards for high-quality evaluation remain central to the framework, although they have been updated to the five Federal evaluation standards. The most substantial change from the 1999 framework is the addition of three cross-cutting actions that are core tenets to incorporate within each evaluation step: engage collaboratively, advance equity, and learn from and use insights. The 2024 framework provides a guide for designing and conducting evaluation across many topics within and outside of public health that anyone involved in program evaluation efforts can use alone or in conjunction with other evaluation approaches, tools, or methods to build evidence, understand programs, and refine evidence-based decision-making to improve all program outcomes.

Подготовка дошкольников к изучению математики

Teaching mathematics to primary schoolchildren in the Russian Federation is based on the principles of continuity of educational stages. The article demonstrates the importance of preparing preschoolers to study mathematics, taking into account the current Federal State Educational Standard of Preschool Education, as well as the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education and the Federal Working Program of Primary Education in this subject. Preschool education is focused on mastering elementary mathematical concepts and forming prerequisites for educational activities. Creating an educational environment in a preschool institution that stimulates play and cognitive activity will help children successfully master mathematical skills. The examples considered in the article show how teaching mathematics at preschool age affects the development of universal educational activities in elementary school.

Methodological aspects of professionally-oriented mathematics education for students of technical university

This paper examines the problems of teaching mathematics at a technical university in the context of new educational standards. In the context of studying this discipline, the curriculum of the bachelor’s degree 12.03.01 Instrument Engineering is analyzed, focusing on the current Federal State Educational Standard of higher education. The study of this discipline is aimed at the formation of both general professional and professional, as well as universal competencies. At the same time, a comparison of two generations of standards (current and previous) of higher education in the chosen field of study made it possible to establish the transfer of a significant number of classroom hours to independent work of students. The established fact necessitates the introduction of modern methods, forms and conditions of the organization into the learning process. The study was conducted on the basis of Samara State Technical University. The aim of the study is to determine the pedagogical conditions for the organization of the educational process, which make it possible to more effectively prepare students of a technical university for future professional activity. The pedagogical conditions were developed taking into account the orientation of the learning process towards digitalization, the introduction of information technologies, the development of financial literacy of students, as well as the activation of their independent activities and cognitive interest. The article presents the implementation of these conditions in the educational process of Samara State Technical University.

Развитие правовой базы в области обеспечения радиационной безопасности

Purpose: To justify the main areas of Russian legacy framework in the field of radiation safety assurance as a basis for improvement of the current standards and regulations. Material and methods: The article analyses international documents and Russian federal laws regulating different aspects of human safety and highlights the most important approaches and procedures of safety assurance proven in practice. Results: The necessity of developing new federal law “On Radiation Safety in Russian Federation” is substantiated. The article shows that internationally recognized principles of radiation safety assurance should be applied in Russia: those are the preservation principle, the responsibility principle, the continuous control principle and, in particular, the permission principle. The last principle means that what is not permitted is forbidden when it comes to handling ionizing radiation sources. The article describes the main provisions and elements of new law and details some considerations that need to be articulated and enhanced in new federal law based on positive experience of their implementation in the current federal laws on different safety aspects. Conclusion: New federal Law “On Radiation Safety in Russian Federation” should incorporate all positive experience of applying the current Federal Law of 09.01.1996 N 3-FL “On Radiation Safety of the Public” and other Russian laws regulating different aspects of human safety assurance in various fields. New law should be based on unconditional priority of protection of human life and health, present and future generations and the environment from possible radiation exposure. New law should enable interaction of the facilities whose activities are related to handling ionizing radiation sources and facilities of the infrastructure for radiation safety assurance, as well as provide connection to other regulations that set specific norms and requirements in the field of radiation safety assurance.

A critical discourse analysis of older women’s representation in housing and homelessness

Purpose Despite a significant evidence base illustrating the issue of housing insecurity and homelessness experienced by women over the age of 55 in Australia [Pawson et al., 2018; Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), 2021b; Mission Australia 2022; Per Capita 2022], there continues to be a knowledge gap in the representation of older women in current Federal and New South Wales (NSW) State Government housing and homelessness policies and initiatives. This paper aims to identify the extent and ways in which older women were represented (or not represented) in the Federal and NSW State housing and homelessness policies in 2022. Design/methodology/approach Of the total primary and supplementary Federal and NSW State policy and strategy documents, 16 were collected through a systematic review and then analysed using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework and feminist lens to explore quotes, phrases, keywords and language choices which suggested prevalent themes, rhetorical devices and dominant discourses. Findings Three significant themes were identified by the analysis (1) “relinquished responsibility”, (2) “inconsistent rhetoric” and (3) “homogenising and ideological cherry picking”. These themes presented the authors with three main discussion points to inform policy reform which we have addressed in relation to policy implications, evidence-based policy decision-making and impacts on older women. Originality/value The combination of a systematic review with CDA provides a unique approach to exploring homelessness policy for older women.

A New Perspective on the Concept of Legal Regulation of Relations in the Area of Genetic Technologies in the Russian Federation

The article attempts to define the concept of legal regulation of relations in the area of genetic technologies. The different models of legal regulation are used as a basis. Priority is given by the authors to the two-level model of legislation. This model consists of one Federal framework law, the provisions of which are supplemented by a group of special legislative acts which regulate certain aspects of genetic technologies. The authors present arguments in favor of choosing this model, in order to build a legislative system for genetic technologies and they highlight its advantages. The article concludes with a proposal to amend the current Federal Law of 5 July, 1996 No. 86-FZ ‘On State Regulation in the Field of Genetic Engineering’ which may serve as a basis for the development of the two-level model of legislation.

Диагностика нутритивных нарушений у детей после перенесенной черепно-мозговой травмы (обзор современных рекомендаций)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the main causes of disability and mortality in the population, and in young people it ranks first. Children after TBI, in addition to neurological problems, have a number of somatic ones, such as malnutrition, dysphagia, and motor disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Hypercatabolism causes the formation of malnutrition and loss of a significant part of muscle mass in these patients. Gastrointestinal problems limit adequate nutrition. In combination with neurological disorders – motor disorders, long-term immobilization, epilepsy – this can lead to the development of sarcopenia. The presence of sarcopenia, in turn, reduces the rehabilitation potential and directly affects the restoration and acquisition of motor functions. Therefore, it is important to assess and correct nutritional status in children with TBI not only in the acute period, but also during the early restorative treatment. The purpose — to analyze the available literature on the features of assessing nutritional status in children after traumatic brain injury. Results. Children after TBI are prone to immobilization, which leads to loss of muscle mass and bone mineral density, as well as an increase in fat mass. According to the guidelines of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists and Nutritionists (ESPGHAN), it is recommended to assess the nutritional status of children with neurological diseases using anthropometry, body composition, and some laboratory parameters. To date, a universal marker of nutritional status disorders in children with neurological diseases in general and with TBI in particular has not been identified. The clinical recommendations «Traumatic brain injury in children» (2022) indicate that such routine laboratory markers of nutrition assessment as total protein, serum albumin, prealbumin, retinol-binding protein, as well as anthropometry have not proven their effectiveness in assessing the state of muscle mass. The «gold standard» in determining the body composition is the bioimpedansometry method, which allows assessing the content of active cell mass, muscle mass, fat and fat-free mass, the total water content. To achieve optimal anthropometric parameters, body composition and rehabilitation prognosis, it is recommended to use indirect calorimetry instead of equations to calculate the resting energy expenditure. Conclusion. The current Federal Clinical Guidelines for the Treatment of Children with TBI (2022) do not have an algorithm and a clear approach to assessing nutritional status and prescribing nutritional support for children of this vulnerable group. To assess the nutritional status, regardless of the level of the hospital, it is recommended to use anthropometry with dynamic control. To assess the body composition it is recommended to use bioimpedansometry, if it is unavailable — mid-upper arm circumference using MUAC tapes, as well as caliperometry. It is also recommended to assess the level of trace elements, with dynamic control at 6 months or annually.

Proposal to improve the transparency and efficiency of the CONFEA/CREA system using the Gaussian AHP Method

The present work and its applications are based on the necessity for the Brazilian Public Administration, in general, to comply with the constitutional principles established in Article 37 of the current Federal Constitution of Brazil. The primary focus is to address the principles of transparency and efficiency, which are central to this study and supported by the Transparency Law (LC nº 131/2009) and the Access to Information Law (Law nº 12,527/2011). The analysis will explore intrinsic elements of the CONFEA/CREA system to process and analyze data related to airfare, daily allowances, and accommodation expenses of the Regional Council of Engineering, Agronomy and Geosciences of the State of São Paulo – Brazil (CREA/SP). The objective is to propose compliance solutions linked to Data Science and Operational Research to standardize the aforementioned Councils in promoting transparency. Technological enhancements are suggested to improve the transparency of public acts, aiming to maximize efficiency. To achieve greater administrative and operational efficiency and effectiveness for Local Authorities, the Gaussian AHP Method is proposed. Key outcomes include improved information on the transparency portal, enhanced data accessibility, clarity, and completeness, increased analytical capacity for management and supervision, and greater visibility of administrative actions. These efforts aim to foster better public management practices and enhance decision-making precision through the application of Multi-Criteria Decision Support methods.

Agent-based Model for Predictive Assessment of the Migration Flows Dynamics in Municipal areas of the Bashkortostan Republic depending on Changes in the Population Life Quality

Favorable demographic and migration situation in the region contributes to its economic prosperity, since qualified personnel are necessary for successful development of the production potential of the territory. The migration attractiveness of the territory is determined by the population life quality, which implies not only high incomes of citizens, but also the development of transport and social infrastructure, accessibility of educational and medical services, favorable climate and environmental conditions, availability of jobs. The article describes the mathematical apparatus for calculating the integral indicator of the population life quality. To support decision-making on managing migration processes, an agent-oriented model is proposed that allows predicting the intensity of migration flows in the municipal districts of the Bashkortostan Republic depending on changes in the population life quality. Algorithms for choosing a place of residence and placement of production facilities for the agents "Resident" and "Enterprise" are described in detail. The output data of the model are forecasts of changes in the satisfaction of residents of the territory with the life quality, the number of migrants in the municipal district, the level of economic development of enterprises. Based on the current Federal Program “Integrated Development of Single-Industry Towns”, scenario experiments were conducted, which made it possible to predict the indicators of migration growth of the territories of the Republic of Bashkortostan involved in the implementation of the program.

Role of International Institutions in Ethiopia’s Rural Land Policy

This Article explores whether and to what extent Ethiopia`s contemporary land policy is influenced by international institutions chiefly the World Bank and the USAID. To this end, the article has identified and examined two opposing views, the first of which contends government policies including land policies in Ethiopia are dictated by some influential international institutions as the regime in Ethiopia is dependent on aid funds in implementing its social policies, which include land policy. According to this first perspective, such policies are not the result of organized collective action by the insecure land holders. The second view is that such policies are internally driven because international institutions have been unable to push through policy agenda their way meaningfully. Having considered such views, the article finds it is not persuasive to put the extent of influence of international institutions in Ethiopia`s land policy in black and white; yet, it seems unreasonable to argue that such institutions which contribute significantly to Ethiopia`s annual budget have no influence over land policy at all even if determination of the extent of their roles is complex and vague. For instance, some tenets of Ethiopia`s current land policy as a tool to poverty reduction and smallholder commercial agriculture are strikingly similar to the tenets of the WB`s 2003 Land Policy which include legalizing land rentals, land use collateralization for agricultural investors and establishment of customary dispute resolution methods, regularization of informal landholdings, and landholding registration programs without however conceding the fundamental aspect of land law. The USAID`s involvement in drafting Ethiopian current Federal and regional rural land laws has led to the inclusion of some of these elements. External pressures may not nevertheless have a decisive role as domestic political and bureaucratic interests in land policy at implementation phase may lessen their magnitude.

Некоторые размышления по поводу 20-летия Федерального закона «Об общих принципах организации местного самоуправления в Российской Федерации»

Introduction. Legal regulation in the field of local self-government has been carried out by the key Federal Law “On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation" for twenty years. It is periodically criticized due to numerous adjustments, and, after the 2020 amendments to the Russian Constitution, its “resignation” was already predicted. However, the bill prepared to replace it did not stand up to criticism and died out in the State Duma. Against this background, there is a reason to comprehend and evaluate the current law from the standpoint of the relevance of extending its “legal life”. Theoretical analysis. It has been revealed that, from its inception, local self-government has undergone numerous changes dictated by the needs of the state. They are based on the balance of interests of central and local authorities. Historical and legal research has shown the trend during the period of zemstvo reforms in monarchical Russia. After a long Soviet period of oblivion, at the end of the last century there was a revival of local government on the democratic basis. The Basic Law of the State of 1993 reflected the independence of local self-government, as well as not entirely justified rule on the separation of its bodies from state ones, which influenced further legislative regulation that was subject to frequent changes. Results. The clearly manifested desire of the legislator to bring local self-government closer to the general system of government for the coordinated interaction of all levels of government became a logical step towards the constitutional consolidation of the institution of public power. The authors’ conclusion was that under these conditions, the resource of the current Federal Law “On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation” is not exhausted.

Resources to develop the research publication competencies of Russian researchers

Introduction. In the last decades, due to the increased number of international research collaborations, the role of auxiliary institutions which contribute to the development of research publication competencies has increased. Competencies are required for writing, preparing, publishing, and promoting scientific articles. The formation of such competencies is carried out at different levels of higher education as part of the current Federal State Educational Standard (FSES), including prorammes of additional professional education, as well as initiatives of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations.Aim. This article aims to analyse the resources available for the development of research publication competencies in Russia in terms of the opportunities offered by different participants of the educational process.Methodology and research methods. The study compared and analysed open access regulatory documentation, reviewed and systematised data from the websites of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations, and used data from in-depth interviews.Results. The article describes the prerequisites for the formation of research publication competencies in higher education in Russia. An overview of effective practices to develop such competencies is given, taking into account the national context and available higher education programmes. The article provides an overview of the functionality of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations, whose activities support publication activity. The role of academic writing teachers, consultants, translators, editors, and reviewers in the development of the competencies of the authors of scientific publications is determined. The importance of the closer interaction of all participants in the publication process is substantiated: authors, translators, and editors of texts; and teachers of scientific writing courses with editors and reviewers of scientific journals.Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this article refers to a detailed description of the resources for the development of research publication competencies and their compliance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, which have not been investigated in such correlation before.Practical significance. The results can be used to develop a set of measures to systematise approaches to developing research publication competencies.

Comparative analysis of methods for evaluating myocardial hypertrophy in children with arterial hypertension

Relevance: over the past decades, the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) in the pediatric population has increased significantly, but there are still many open questions related to the diagnosis and course of the disease, the validity of the choice of antihypertensive therapy and the risks of target organ injury. In clinical practice, patients with hypertension are observed by a team of specialists of various profiles, and a unified approach to managing the disease is not always formed between them. Underestimation of risk factors, late detection of target organ injury and untimely start of antihypertensive therapy significantly increase the risks of an unfavorable, progressive course of the disease, aggravating the further prognosis. Strict adherence to the methods of diagnosing the disease and its potential consequences recommended by the professional community of pediatric cardiologists ensures an adequate initiation of drug therapy, which allows not only to control the course of hypertension, but also to prevent the development of long-term complications. Objective: to analyze the indicators obtained using the formula recommended by pediatric cardiologists compared to the routine method for detecting left ventricular myocardial remodeling in children with AH. Materials and methods: a cross-sectional, cohort, non-randomized study, which included 92 patients with newly diagnosed primary arterial hypertension, who were not receiving antihypertensive therapy at the time of the examination. The standard linear dimensions of the walls and cavities of the heart were assessed during echocardiography. The results were evaluated by the standard Fisher’s test, the xi2 test in the Statistica 9 software. The sample excluded children-athletes, patients with secondary hypertension, overweight, congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy. All children were tested the same according to the current Federal Clinical Guidelines “Diagnosis and treatment of arterial hypertension in children and adolescents”. Results: the usage of the recommended formula is not only significantly more often allowed to identify the early stages of LV myocardial hypertrophy, but has great sensitivity. The routine method for calculating LV remodeling showed the norm much more often even in case of severe violation of the geometry of the heart. Conclusion: untimely detection of LV myocardial hypertrophy leads to late initiation of antihypertensive therapy, underestimation of risk factors, which increases the risk of an unfavorable course of the disease and the occurrence of long-term cardiovascular complications at a young age.

Assessing the impact of enforcement and compliance with minimum staffing standards on the quality of care in nursing homes: Evidence from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' staff star rating downgrade policy.

Policymakers have historically attempted to influence quality in nursing homes through the imposition of minimum staffing standards and through the public dissemination of quality on websites like Care Compare. One current Federal standard necessitates a registered nurse (RN) on duty for at least eight consecutive hours each day. In 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that they would incentivize compliance with this requirement by downgrading nursing homes with 7+ days without an RN present during the quarter by one star on their Care Compare staffing domain quality rating. This study evaluates the impact of this new enforcement mechanism. Using an intent-to-treat sample of nursing homes at risk for downgrade with difference-in-differences and event study models, it finds that the policy increased compliance and staffing levels. Using the policy to instrument for full compliance, it finds that the daily presence of an RN causally improves several quality dimensions.

Políticas educacionales y verticalización de la Educación Profesional y Tecnológica en Brasil (siglos XX y XXI)

Considering that more than a hundred years has passed since the offer to Professional Education and Technology (TVET) on a national level, in Brazil, the article seeks to comprehend the trajectory of the current Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education in the 20th and 21st century, with emphasis on the historical contexts that demanded changes in public policies and allowed the verticalization in courses offers on those institutions. It is a bibliographical and documental investigation, since publications in work and education field of research were used, as also a consultation and analysis of the TVET law were made. It was observed that the many changes that happened in the TVET offer in more than a century of existence was bound to the political agenda of the Brazilian government, and the interests of the job market. A verticalization in the Network a century ago used to complete only the primary and basic education and, today, it focuses on the offer of several levels, including stricto sensu postgraduate level. However, the network fights internally and externally for a professional education beyond the capital demands.

Development of tasks on the discipline “Informatics and Computer Engineering” for students at the Faculty of History

In the process of changing the priorities of the educational paradigm, many tasks arise, one of which is the formation of information technology competence at all levels of education. The current Federal State Educational Standards are based on a competency-based approach. In this regard, it becomes necessary to develop students’ competencies in the field of information technology, which graduates of the Faculty of History should have.The article actualizes the need to develop adapted tasks in the discipline “Informatics and Computer Engineering” for the specialties of the training areas 46.03.01 “History” and 46.03.02 “Documentation Science and Archival Science”.The objectives of the article are to develop tasks that cover the competencies that a graduate should have as a result of mastering a bachelor’s program, to conduct a comparative analysis of informatics textbooks used in the Russian Federation, to identify sections of the course that should be improved based on the results obtained during the experiment and the interests of students, as well as analysis of the level of formation of information technology competence in first-year students of training areas 46.03.01 “History” and 46.03.02 “Document science and archive science” using testing.The purpose of the article is to develop tasks that cover the competencies that a graduate should have as a result of mastering the bachelor’s program, as well as an analysis of the level of formation of information technology competence among students of the first course of training areas 46.03.01 “History” and 46.03.02 “Documentation Science and Archival Science” using testing.As a result of the study, it turned out that the majority of students have an average level of knowledge of the school curriculum in the subject “Informatics”. It is concluded that the study of informatics at school does not have a significant impact on the general level of knowledge of students in the field of information and communication technologies.

Fish Exhibit Distinct Fluorochemical and δ15N Isotopic Signatures in the St. Lawrence River Impacted by Municipal Wastewater Effluents

We examined the influence of Montreal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents on two top predators, Walleye (Sander vitreus) and Sauger (Sander canadensis), with a focus on δ15N isotopic signatures and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These two fish species were collected in the summer 2013 in the St. Lawrence River upstream and downstream from a major WWTP, as well as in background sites (semi-remote lakes). Most of the δ15N variations for Sauger and Walleye are attributable to 1) δ15N values of the primary producers and sewage-derived particulate organic matter (SDPOM) at the base of the trophic food chain, 2) agricultural activities combined with biogeochemical processes, and 3) food web length. δ15N was significantly lower in fish collected in the effluent-mixed water masses than other sites of the St. Lawrence River, attributed to the SDPOM of the WWTP effluent. Relative to the background sites, certain PFAS were present at much higher levels in the St. Lawrence River, with profiles dominated by perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSA). However, PFSA profiles generally remained consistent along the St. Lawrence River. PFOS levels in fish from the St. Lawrence exceeded the current Federal Environmental Quality Guidelines for protecting piscivorous mammals or birds. However, the human chronic daily intake of PFOS remained below current thresholds suggested by national agencies.

O surgimento do direito ambiental no Brasil, sua evolução e o cumprimento da agenda 2030

This article aims, as a general objective, to make a brief presentation on the evolution of Brazilian environmental law, its phases, and its current setback regarding sustainability. Although the Atlantic Rainforest, as well as the Amazon Forest, the Serra do Mar, the Pantanal Matogrossense, and the Coastal Zone have the status of national heritage, according to the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, these biomes have been losing space for deforestation, agriculture, and livestock, and currently only 12.4% of the original Atlantic Rainforest area is left in Brazil. As specific objectives of this article, it intends to analyze whether the commitments made by Brazil in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an action plan adopted by the country and 192 other UN member states, have been fulfilled and also to make an analysis of the current Federal Senate Bill No. 168/2018. After the chronological survey of environmental legislation, it concludes that the Brazilian Environmental Legislation is currently not being effective in the protection of Brazilian biomes, meeting interests in deforestation, at the expense of Brazilian native species and in disagreement with the commitment made to Sustainability in the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainability principles presented in the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988.

Влияние способов организации учебных взаимодействий на развитие коммуникативно-рефлексивных способностей детей 6—10 лет

The features of the development of communicative and reflexive abilities of children aged 6—10 years, depending on the ways of organizing educational interactions, are discussed. Basic social competencies defined by the requirements of the current Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education are considered as indicators of the development of abilities in the learning environment. Based on the selected indicators, a variant of the “Puzzle” diagnostic method has been developed, which allows to study the relationship between the development of social competencies in younger schoolchildren, and the joint way they perform while solving experimental problems. A comparative analysis of students' social competencies allows to prove the influence of ways of organizing educational interactions on the development of communicative and reflexive abilities of primary school children.
