Cognitive Sphere and Health Self-Control in Teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a complex disease, with self-control playing a key role in its effective treatment. Routine self-control requires high-order cognitive skills, e.g., planning, self-direction, compliance with medical recommendations, etc. All these pose a challenge for teenagers. The model of Responsible Self-Care developed by the World Health Organization takes into account not only health maintenance in diabetic patients, but also their cognitive ability to control their own attitude to treatment in order to achieve glycemic control. This study focused on the correlation between health self-control and neuropsychological profile in teenagers with diabetes. The sample included 38 diabetic patients represented by 13 boys and 25 girls aged 12–17. The study relied on the method of medical documentation analysis and the psychodiagnostic method, including the neuropsychological assessment battery by A. R. Luria and such questionnaires as Multidimensional-Functional Diagnostics of Responsibility, Self-Control Style, Locus of Disease Control, and Self-Efficiency in Disease. The correlation analysis confirmed a direct connection between the cognitive status and responsible behavior in teenagers with diabetes. Poor glycemic control and chronic hyperglycemia were associated with low test results in cognitive abilities, speech fluency, and memory capacity. Cognitive deficiency correlated with insufficient self-control, poor responsibility, and low self-efficiency, as well as with preference for external forms of control locus.

Not Quite Yet a Hazy Limbo of Mystery: Intuition in Russell’s An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry

Abstract I argue that in Bertrand Russell’s An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry (1897), his forms of externality serve the same fundamental role in grounding the possibility of geometry that Immanuel Kant’s forms of intuition serve in grounding geometry in his critical philosophy. Specifically, both provide knowledge of bare numerical difference, where we have no concept of this difference. Because geometry deals with such conceptually homogeneous magnitudes and their composition on both accounts, forms of intuition or externality (respectively) are at its foundation.

Costume and Body Language of Ethnic Dance Drama under Semiotics: An Analytical Study

Dance drama is a dramatic form with dance as its main means of expression, which has been developed in China for less than a century. In recent years, the development of Chinese dance drama, especially ethnic dance drama, has shown an obvious upward trend. Several excellent dance drama works have appeared, forming some distinctive dance drama styles, among which The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting, The Peacock, and The Railway to Tibet are quite representative. This study will investigate the above three dance dramas based on semiotics. An analysis of costume and body language is carried out in this study based on the semiotics, from the morphological characteristics of dance and costume. In addition, the author makes a comprehensive exploration of the integration of the external form, fabric, structure and pattern of costume and body language, tries to reveal the way of interaction between costume symbols and body symbols in dance drama, and summarises the artistic connotation of the integration of dance costumes and body language. Then, it provides ideas for the role creation and education of dance drama.

Of the 61 elements on this form, 38 were suggested as mandatory and 23 as optional. Focus group discussions confirmed some elements and disputed others. Healthcare providers shared their needs and expectations for the electronic system. The study's outcome provides a clear understanding of the existing referral system and healthcare provider requirements, leading to the design of an electronic referral form.

Mechanism of implementation of the right to health care, medical assistance and medical insurance

The article examines the problematic issues of defining the concept of the mechanism of realization of the right to health care and medical assistance, as well as the components of the specified mechanism and the systemic connections between them. The author’s definition of the mechanism of the realization of the right to health care, medical assistance and medical insurance is proposed, which should be considered as a complex process, a system of interconnected components that create conditions for the legitimate exercise of the right of an individual, which includes a set of relevant legal norms regulating social relations that arise in connection with the exercise of the specified right and provide for the forms, grounds, conditions and procedures for its exercise; legal and enforcement acts; the activity of the person himself as the bearer of the subjective right in the exercise of his rights and duties; direct activity of the relevant authorities for the application of this right; legal relations through which subjects implement the researched law. It was concluded that the structure of the constitutional-legal mechanism for the realization of the right to health care and medical assistance is represented by a set of the following components: constitutional norms that establish the specified right; legal acts (normative-legal acts, which are the external form of expression and consolidation of these norms, and interpretative-legal acts, which contain an explanation of the content of legal norms; acts of application of legal norms (individual-legal); guarantees of the exercise of this right; the activity of a person from his use, which allows to distinguish the normative-legal and institutional-legal component of the mechanism. The regulatory and legal component of the implementation mechanism includes legal norms that determine the conditions, forms and procedures for the implementation of this right, the content of the right itself; economic, legal, organizational, institutional and other means and conditions for realization of the researched right, as well as guarantees of realization and protection of the right to health care, medical assistance and medical insurance. The institutional and legal component is represented by the system of authorized bodies, institutions and establishments that manage, organize activities, provide medical assistance or services. The special content of the right to health care and medical assistance allows us to distinguish the features of the mechanism of implementation of this right: a) it is carried out by bodies that provide medical assistance or contribute to the provision of medical assistance (support units); b) has a limited scope, because it is used exclusively during the implementation of the above-mentioned right; c) one of the subjects of legal relations is always the person who receives medical assistance, and the other is public health care institutions that directly provide health care(enterprises, institutions, organizations of various forms of ownership, including those created by private individuals, provided they have the necessary material and technical base and qualified specialists); d) realization of the rights and freedoms of citizens takes place in three forms - compliance, implementation and application of legal norms; e) realization of the researched right is carried out according to a certain procedure, which is established by national legislation.

Development of a Generative Design System for 3D-Printed Houses in Chile

Three dimensional-printing construction is an emerging technology with significant potential for faster building execution and more precise, controllable designs. This technology utilizes material deposition managed by computer data, enabling additive construction of shapes. This research aims to develop a generative design system for 3D-printed houses in Chile, addressing the country’s growing demand for housing across diverse geographical locations and social groups, also present in other parts of the world. The development process involves synthesizing the external form features of existing Chilean houses and analyzing prototypes of 3D-printed houses worldwide to establish a set of geometric characteristics suitable for 3D-printed homes in Chile. A procedure is then outlined to create design alternatives using parametric programming on a BIM platform, followed by toolpath development for printing the building components. Various models are generated to demonstrate housing shapes’ versatility and adaptability to Chilean contexts and 3D-printed construction methods. Finally, a detailed design is created and printed to construct a housing prototype, testing the entire digital workflow. This experience highlights the variety of 3D-printed housing shapes that can be developed while assessing their feasibility for the Chilean context. This research complements the flexible design capabilities of 3D printing construction, resulting in buildings better suited to various locations and occupancy needs.

Exploring the Element of Form Based on Traditional Chinese Auspicious Patterns

Chinese traditional auspicious patterns, which date back more than 5,000 years, are a vital component of national art and traditional culture. These patterns have special meanings and are often associated with good wishes and blessings. Their development reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This research on auspicious patterns focuses mainly on the creation method and classification, with few forms. It seeks to ascertain the features of the traditional auspicious pattern form in China. This study adopts qualitative analysis, specifically in analyzing patterns by observation. Based on Panofsky's theory of iconography, the study selected six common Chinese traditional auspicious patterns and analyzed them to determine their classification, layout, composition and elements. It can be concluded that their form is characterized by various elements, specifically figurative and complete, complex pattern formations, full layout designs, balanced or symmetrical compositions, and single or fit patterns. Thus, this study summarized the pattern form analysis model or the PFC-Model. By addressing this gap in knowledge, the study enhances understanding of auspicious patterns. At the same time, the pattern analysis model can be used to analyze similar patterns, which makes it easier to analyze other pattern forms and brings the study of traditional Chinese patterns to a new height. In the meantime, this research only studies the external form of auspicious patterns. In this regard, as form and color is the first layer of research mentioned in Panofsky's image theory, it needs to be more comprehensive. In the future, researchers can continue to explore its color characteristics and extend the research into the content of the first layer of the theories. Undoubtedly, researchers can also expand the analysis of auspicious patterns using the theory's second and third layers.

Thermal Performance and Building Energy Simulation of Precast Insulation Walls in Two Climate Zones

Traditional concrete buildings exhibit low energy consumption and high heat loss, which results in a larger environmental problem. Precast insulation walls are proposed for strengthening thermal insulation efficiency and mitigating heat loss. Numerous studies have investigated the thermal performance of insulation walls over the past decades. However, gaps remain in practical engineering applications. This study aims to bridge these gaps by providing practical design recommendations based on experimental research. Nine different types of precast insulation walls were tested to examine the thermal performance, and the parameters of the insulation material, insulation form, insulation layer thickness, and concrete rib width were investigated. Then, numerical models of these walls were developed for simulating the thermal performance of the tested specimens. Finally, a six-story student apartment model using designed walls was developed to assess energy consumption in two distinct climate zones: the hot summer and cold winter zone of Changsha City, and the cold zone of Harbin City. The results indicate that the precast insulation wall with external insulation form shows better thermal performance than the sandwich insulation form. It is recommended to use precast insulation walls with 50 mm extruded polystyrene (XPS) external thermal insulation form in Changsha City and 80 mm XPS external thermal insulation form in Harbin City. Furthermore, buildings using precast insulation walls can significantly reduce energy consumption by 49.25% in Changsha and 49.38% in Harbin compared to traditional concrete wall buildings. Based on these findings, suitable design suggestions for this precast concrete wall panel building composed of insulation walls are given.

Experimental and numerical analysis of a novel structure obtained by joining two tensegrity-based units using simple construction methods

Structural systems based on tension and compression play a significant role in maximizing the performance of materials. Among them, structures based on the concept of tensegrity have attracted attention owing to their elegant design features and floating feeling. However, the complex construction of tensegrity-based structures hinders their implementation in practical design and architectural applications. Herein, we propose a novel tensegrity-based unit with simple connectivity and manufacturability. The external form of this unit is similar to that of a space-filling polyhedron. The prototype of the proposed unit is constructed, and the simple tension management of the unit is demonstrated. The mechanical behavior of the assembled structure is investigated by performing loading tests and numerical analyses. The behavior can be accurately predicted and general design can be applied to develop structures for practical applications.

Development of a Method for Commercial Style Transfer of Historical Architectural Facades Based on Stable Diffusion Models.

In the sphere of urban renewal of historic districts, preserving and innovatively reinterpreting traditional architectural styles remains a primary research focus. However, the modernization and adaptive reuse of traditional buildings often necessitate changes in their functionality. To cater to the demands of tourism in historic districts, many traditional residential buildings require conversion to commercial use, resulting in a mismatch between their external form and their internal function. This study explored an automated approach to transform traditional residences into commercially viable designs, offering an efficient and scalable solution for the modernization of historic architecture. We developed a methodology based on diffusion models, focusing on a dataset of nighttime shopfront facades. By training a low-rank adaptation (LoRA) model and integrating the ControlNet model, we enhanced the accuracy and stability of the generated images. The methodology's performance was validated through qualitative and quantitative assessments, optimizing the batch size, repetition, and learning rate configurations. These evaluations confirmed the method's effectiveness. Our findings significantly advance the modern commercial style transformation of historical architectural facades, providing a novel solution that maintains the aesthetic and functional integrity, thereby fostering breakthroughs in traditional design thinking and exploring new possibilities for the preservation and commercial adaptation of historical buildings.

Конституционный Суд Российской Федерации о полномочиях районного суда по уголовным делам частного обвинения: можно ли ставить точку в правовом регулировании данного вопроса?

Ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 13-П of March 28, 2024, clarified the issue of authorities of a district court in privately prosecuted criminal cases on a crime stipulated by Part 1 of Art. 161.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Taking into account that criminal procedure provisions cannot be developed beyond the framework of criminal procedure law, there is a need for changes to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation aimed at approval of respective legal instructions and bringing the external form of criminal procedure law in line with its internal form.

Psoriasis in pediatric dermatological clinical practice: diagnosis and management

The relevance of this topic is confirmed by the widespread psoriasis prevalence. Psoriasis in children has severe forms growth and diagnostic difficulties. It is crucially important to examine histologically the skin especially in pediatric dermatological clinical practice. According to our observations Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris has become one of the most frequent dermatoses with which differential diagnosis of psoriasis has to be carried out. A clinical dermatosis observation in a 13-year-old girl is described. The disease was similar to the manifestations of Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris. The results of the affected skin biopsy study did not exclude this diagnosis. The clinical and morphological manifestations of the dermatosis could be effected by steroid therapy. Subsequent dynamic observation and histological examination allowed us to diagnose psoriasis. Current data is collected and presented. The choice of external therapy in pediatric practice is a controversial topic. Clinical results of the Activated Zinc Pyrithion external forms use in the psoriasis treatment are presented.

Lessons from the void: What Boltzmann brains teach

AbstractSome physical theories predict that almost all brains in the universe are Boltzmann brains, that is, short‐lived disembodied brains that are accidentally assembled as a result of thermodynamic or quantum fluctuations. Physicists and philosophers of physics widely regard this proliferation as unacceptable, and so take its prediction as a basis for rejecting these theories. But the putatively unacceptable consequences of this prediction follow only given certain philosophical assumptions. This paper develops a strategy for shielding physical theorizing from the threat of Boltzmann brains. The strategy appeals to a form of phenomenal externalism about the physical basis of consciousness. Given that form of phenomenal externalism, the proliferation of Boltzmann brains turns out to be benign. While the strategy faces a psychophysical fine‐tuning problem, it both alleviates cosmological fine‐tuning concerns that attend physics‐based solutions to Boltzmann brain problems and pays explanatory dividends in connection with time's arrow.

On the role of different nonlinear damping forms in the dynamic behavior of the generalized Beck’s column

The influence of internal and external nonlinear damping forms on the dynamics of a generalized Beck’s column, namely a visco-elastic cantilever beam, subjected to conservative and non-conservative loads at its free end, is investigated. A variational principle provides the equations of motion of the system, which are properly recast into an integro-differential form. The linear stability analysis of the system is then carried out and bifurcation points are detected in the space of parameters associated with the conservative and non-conservative loads. Starting from Hopf’s bifurcation points, a post-critical analysis, based on the Method of Multiple Scales is directly performed on the continuous system, avoiding any a-priori discretization. This method provides the bifurcation equations whose analysis reveals the double nature of nonlinear damping, which can be beneficial or detrimental in terms of stable or unstable bifurcated equilibria. It is found that both the internal and external forms of nonlinear damping can turn a supercritical instability of the system into a subcritical one, thus revealing another destabilizing effect of damping, beyond the very well-known one occurring in the linear field. Numerical simulations, grounded on a Galerkin discretization of the original system, confirm the analytical findings.

The effect of internal, external, and holistic focus of attention on standing long jump performance in novice and skilled karatekas.

An important application for training instructions is found in directing one's attentional focus. This direction can occur in different internal, external, or holistic forms. However, comparison between these three forms of instructions is a relatively recent development rarely reported at different skill levels or various sports including karate. Therefore, the present study attempts to investigate the effects of three forms of instructions on standing long jump performance in skilled and novice karatekas. The participants were 60 skilled and novice karatekas (all females; mean age: 21.32±1.65) who completed 12 standing long jump trials under different focus conditions (3 trials for each condition: internal, external, holistic and control condition) in a counterbalanced order. Our findings suggested significant main effects, indicating that skilled karatekas outperformed the novices. The findings also showed that regardless of skill levels, the participants exhibited similar performance under external and holistic focus conditions while performance in both of these conditions was superior compared to performance under internal focus and control conditions. No difference was observed between the control and internal focus conditions. It seems that skilled and novice karatekas may benefit from holistic and external focus of attention instructions which enhance their motor performance. Thus, it is recommended that coaches should incorporate these two types of attentional focus instructions into their training sessions.

Coach–athlete relationship as a predictor of contextual motivation in weightlifters

Coach behaviour is an important predictor of athlete motivation (Jowett, 2017). The coach–athlete relationship can be defined as a dynamic interaction wherein the feelings, thoughts and behaviours of both athlete and coaches are mutually and causally interconnected (Jowett and Shanmugam, 2016, In Schinke, McGannon & Smith (Eds.), Routledge International Handbook of Sport Psychology, Relational Coaching in Sport: Its psychological underpinnings and practical effectiveness (pp. 471–484). Routledge). This present study explored the coach–athlete relationship through the lens of Self-Determination Theory. This multidimensional theory underscores various facets of motivation suggesting that coaches' behaviours influence athletes' motivation by directly influencing their three basic psychological needs (Deci & Ryan, 2008, Can Psych, 49, 182–185). The study builds on previous research highlighting the pivotal role of coaches in shaping positive sporting environments and the significance of closeness, commitment and compatibility in the coach–athlete relationship (Jowett & Nezlek, 2012, J Soc Pers Rel, 29, 287–301). The purpose of the present study was to further understanding of the association between the coach–athlete relationship and contextual motivation among weightlifters. Previous studies have expounded a motivational model of the coach–athlete relationship that outlined a sequence wherein coaches’ actions bear influence on athletes’ intrinsic and self-determined extrinsic motivation by shaping their perceptions of autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Mageau & Vallerand, 2003, J Sports Sci, 21, 883–904). It was hypothesised that a coach–athlete relationship scores would be a negative predictor of amotivation and external regulation (H1). It would, however, be a positive predictor of more intrinsic forms of motivation (H2). Specifically, those who perceive their coaches as supportive, understanding and competent will report higher levels of intrinsic motivation within the training environment. Following institutional ethical clearance (33249-A-Nov/2023-47988-1), a sample of male and female weightlifters (N = 20; females = 11) were asked to complete an 11-item version of Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q; Jowett & Ntoumanis, 2003) and the 18-item Sports Motivation Scale (SMS-2; Pelletier et al., 2013). There was no time gap in the administration of the two questionnaires. A series of standard linear regression analyses was computed using CART-Q subscales as predictor variables and each SMS-2 subscale as the dependent variable. H1 was not supported, as the CART-Q subscales were not a significant negative predictor of amotivation and external forms of motivation. H2 was supported given that the CART-Q subscales were positive predictors of intrinsic motivation subscales.

Where the organization is based on the Constitution on persons with disabilities. 6) Monitor and evaluate the capacity development process Regular monitoring and evaluation of the capacity building process in relation to changes in organizational priorities has been carried out well.

“CONFESSIONS” BY J.-J. ROUSSEAU: TECHNIQUES OF AESTHETIC INFLUENCE AND STRATEGY OF READER’S RECEPTION

The study aims to explore the specific features of the modern reception of J.-J. Rousseau’s “Confessions”. The theoretical framework of the research is grounded on the ideas advanced by T. Avtuxovych, M.Czermińska, M.Głowiński, W.Iser, R. Jakobson, H.R.Jauss, P.Lejeune, Yu. Lotman, V.Tjupa, Zh. Starobinskiy and other scholars. The researchers describe the semiotic model of literary communication and the theory of the text by Yuri Lotman. The research was conducted using historic-functional, hermeneutic, receptive, and theoretical analysis methods. An attempt is made in this paper to show how the process of “decoding” the meanings intended by the author in the text takes place. In particular, the authors study how Rousseau’s “Confessions” functions in the structure of modern literary communication. The specific objectives of the present study are the meanings of “Confessions” are read by the contemporary recipient and which ones are relegated to the background compared to the literary communication of the eighteenth century. The common discourse code of the author and the reader is the key to successful communication and understanding of the specifics of the project of Rousseau’s life writing. At the same time, the success and specificity of artistic communication are influenced by the difference in discourse code meanings related to the time distance between the author and the recipient and the layering of new historical and cultural patterns in the reader’s consciousness. At the thematic level, three main themes are considered, including: a) the social origin of the autobiographical subject, b) his conflict with society, and c) the protagonist’s intimate self-disclosure. Thus, the article provides a detailed examination of the motif of the social origin of the autobiographical character. On the topic of the social origin of the character, instead of the plebeian’s right to public attention for the contemporary reader, the value of education and knowledge, freedom of speech and individual liberty are being actualised. Of particular note is the theme of the conflict between a character and society, the idea of the human right to otherness, the right to personal liberty and the right to choose the concept of one’s own life comes to the forefront. Thus, a literary text realises the social function of literature. The reading of the character’s self-disclosure by an attentive reader (from Rousseau’s contemporary to modern readers) has a twofold purpose: first, to encourage everyone to live the experience of the character and thus to think about themselves, and second, to reflect on society as a whole. It testifies to the fact that in the aspect of self-disclosure of the meaning of “Confessions”, the transformation of confession as an external form of a religious rite of repentance addressed to God into the narrative genre of confessional autobiography addressed to a human reader of the story is actualized. The study demonstrated a need for continuation of the study in the aspect of reader reception to contribute to the perception of its place in the contemporary literary and cultural space.
