The Elitist Aspect of "The Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics"

The work of the renowned Australian-American historian and Sovietologist Sheila Fitzpatrick, devoted to the study of the features and logic of political decision-making in the Soviet Union from the late 1920s to 1953, draws attention for its attempt at an objective analysis of the motives behind the actions of the "Stalin team". Unlike a significant number of ideologically driven and emotionally charged works on the Stalin era, Sheila Fitzpatrick - an honorary professor at the University of Sydney and professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, who also taught Soviet Union history at the University of Texas at Austin - searches for rational reasons behind the actions of the top Soviet political leadership. She convincingly shows that the tragic pages of Stalin's terror had not only subjective, but also significant objective real-political grounds. The historian concludes that despite the constant purges of the party apparatus, a careful analysis of the activities of I.V. Stalin's closest associates demonstrates an unexpected consistency and effectiveness, as evidenced by three decades of joint work and the ability of the "team" to manage the transition of power even after the leader’s death.

The Way towards Regional Modernities - Joint Works of Dušan Grabrijan and Juraj Neidhardt

A joint work package sizing and scheduling problem considering resource constraints with a look-ahead heterogeneous reinforcement learning method

Effective work package sizing and project scheduling are crucial for construction project management. However, existing studies often address them as separate optimisation problems, neglecting the interactive nature of these processes. In practical scenarios with limited resources, there is an increasing demand for integrating work package sizing and project scheduling to enhance project management efficiency. This research aims to bridge this gap by developing an integer non-linear programming model that incorporates work package sizing and project scheduling while considering their interaction within a resource-constrained environment. Moreover, we introduce a novel look-ahead heterogeneous reinforcement learning approach that dynamically adjusts work package sizes and project schedules based on observed information at each decision step. A look-ahead sequential decision mechanism is proposed to effectively address the interdependencies and constraints inherent in the joint model. We extend the heterogeneous agent mirror learning technique to our problem to improve sample efficiency and ensure progressive enhancement of the joint policy. To evaluate our approach's effectiveness, we conduct experiments using datasets of 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 tasks from Rangen and PSPLIB and validate our method in a real-world modular integrated construction project. The experimental results reveal that a joint model integrating work package sizing and project scheduling offers a more comprehensive understanding of their interplay, leading to better resource utilisation and improved project schedules. A comparative analysis against existing state-of-the-art reinforcement learning and priority rule-based methods further substantiates the superior effectiveness of our proposed approach, yielding an approximate 5% reduction in total project cost.

Research–practice partnership as a school development method: educators’ experiences on collaborative school development process and outcomes

ABSTRACT This study examines educators’ experiences of implementing research–practice partnership (RPP) in three schools in Finland’s capital area. The data consisted of educator interviews (N = 12) and self-report questionnaire responses (N = 101). Teachers’ experiences were traced by data-driven thematic analysis of the interviews and quantitative analysis of survey responses. The results indicate that RPP provided a successful strategy to contribute to school development aims as long as it was integrated coherently into schools’ operations. Targeted time resources, teachers’ developer roles, and joint work, such as involvement in boundary crossing activities, fostered successful implementation and achievement of the targeted development aims. However, within-school power dynamics appeared to be a hindering factor. The results indicated an unexpectedly strong segregation of teachers according to presence or absence of their developer role. The reached outcomes related to experienced school-specific organizational innovations and professional growth of those educators who engaged in boundary crossing activities.

Теоретико-методологічні засади взаємодії державного та громадського секторів у реалізації природоохоронних заходів в умовах цифровізації

The article examines the current state of the theoretical, methodological and organizational foundations of interaction between the bodies of state supervision (control) in the field of environmental protection and civil society institutions in the course of implementation of environmental protection measures. It is established that the study of environmental protection functions of public authorities, local self-government bodies, civil society institutions and business should be considered through the prism of their systematic interaction, since the implementation of such an approach ensures a balance between the economic and environmental directions of the State's development. The author presents the successful experience of foreign countries in terms of involving a wide range of civil society representatives in the implementation of environmental protection measures with the help of appropriate digital tools, which provides a qualitatively new level of convenience and speed of access to environmental information, and also provides new opportunities for civil society to influence the processes of making public administration decisions. The author analyzes the current regulatory framework for ensuring the functioning of the state supervision (control) bodies in the field of environmental protection in terms of the possibilities of interaction of these bodies with other state institutions, non-governmental environmental organizations and local self-government bodies and identifies the factors that negatively affect the effectiveness of joint work on the preservation and reproduction of the country's natural resource potential. Attention is focused on the need to ensure transparency and timely informing the population about the immediate prospects and expected results of changes in the field of environmental protection as a result of the introduction of digital innovations. The author suggests ways to improve existing approaches to the creation and implementation of innovations in the public sector by using the successful experience of conducting information and popularization campaigns in other industries

Психологическое благополучие больных злокачественными новообразованиями

<p><strong>Formulation of the Problem.</strong> In Russia, 2.73% of the population suffer from malignant neoplasms regardless of age. An important factor in successful treatment of cancer patients is psychological well-being, including the presence of positive emotions, engagement, meaning in life, autonomy, positive relationships with others, self-acceptance, and absence of psychological disorders. <strong>Actuality.</strong> According to scientific articles published between 2005 and present on Scopus, WoS, PubMed, cancer patients are characterized by impaired psychological well-being and require psychological support. Over 1/3 of them experience distress, depression, anxiety, demoralization, and suicidal ideation, which significantly reduces their chances of a favorable outcome. <strong>Summary.</strong> Positive components of psychological well-being are an important condition for recovery, as modern therapy allows over 60% of cancer patients to survive. Despite the need for psychological support, patients with malignant tumors are characterized by low rates of treatment and a high prevalence of psychological disorders. Violation of psychological well-being contributes to patients’ non-compliance with prescribed treatment, aggravates the course of the disease and increases mortality. <strong>С</strong><strong>onclusions.</strong> Ensuring psychological well-being can be achieved by improving psychological care for cancer patients through influencing subjective, informational and organizational factors. An ideal strategy for patient management is joint work of psychologists and doctors, especially in communicating a diagnosis to patients, using and improving questionnaires, scales and criteria for assessing the need of cancer patients for psychological care. It is necessary to actively implement digital and mobile healthcare, Internet services, and telemedicine, for obtaining information and communication between patients and doctors and psychologists online, which will improve the positive aspects of psychological well-being.</p>

Ankle-hip joint trade-off in normal gait: Exploring the kinematic influence of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot

BackgroundIn human gait, leg progression into the swing phase involves two primary strategies: ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion. These strategies are believed to exhibit a trade-off relationship; however, it is unclear whether this relationship holds for normal gait and the role of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) in shaping these strategies. Research questionsDoes a trade-off relationship exist between ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion strategies during normal gait in young healthy adults? Do the kinematics of MLA during gait influence the strategies during leg progression into the swing phase? MethodsData from 36 young healthy adults were analyzed. Gait speed and peak moment, angular impulse, peak power and joint work at ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion were assessed within the context of the normal gait task. The parameters were also assessed using ankle-to-hip joint ratios (ankle/hip indices). Kinematics of MLA, including peak MLA angle, amount of descent, and amount of elevation during gait, were also measured. To exclude the effect of gait speed, partial correlation coefficients were employed to explore the relationship between ankle and hip variables as well as the ratio of ankle/hip indices and MLA kinematics. ResultsA significant negative correlation between ankle plantar flexion work and hip flexion work was detected. Moreover, a positive correlation between the ankle plantar flexion work to hip flexion work ratio and MLA elevation was detected. SignificanceA trade-off relationship between ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion strategies during normal gait in young healthy adults was confirmed, suggesting that these parameters are fundamental to normal gait. Additionally, the MLA elevation during late stance may influence the establishment of ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion strategies. These findings enhance our understanding of gait mechanisms and highlight the role of MLA kinematics in shaping gait strategies.

A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE: COOPERATION OF A GASTROENTEROLOGIST, AN ENDOSCOPIST AND A SURGEON

Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum is a complex disease that requires a multifaceted approach to treatment. The article discusses the importance of complex interaction between a gastroenterologist, an endoscopist and a surgeon to achieve optimal therapy results. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of joint work of specialists of various profiles in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and identify key aspects of cooperation that contribute to improving clinical outcomes. Research methods. The paper analyzes clinical experience and literature data, describes cases of successful treatment of peptic ulcer disease, in which gastroenterologists, endoscopists and surgeons participated. Examples of the disadvantages of insufficient interaction between specialists are also considered. The results of the study. The authors emphasize the importance of coordination between a gastroenterologist who is engaged in drug therapy and patient supervision, an endoscopist who performs diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and a surgeon who performs surgery if necessary. Cases are discussed when such cooperation made it possible to avoid surgical intervention or to perform an operation in a timely manner, which ultimately improved the outcome of the disease. As a result of the study, it was concluded that effective treatment of peptic ulcer disease requires the integration of the efforts of several specialists. Gastroenterologists, endoscopists and surgeons should work closely to ensure a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and therapy, which leads to a significant improvement in treatment outcomes and a reduction in the risk of complications.

“Acute responses to barefoot running are related to changes in kinematics, mechanical load, and inflammatory profile”

This study investigated the acute effects of barefoot (BF) running on biomechanical parameters and cytokine concentrations. Seventy-one habitually shod runners had biomechanical parameters evaluated during running shod (SH) and BF, while a sub-group of 19 runners had their inflammatory profile analyzed before and after a running session, using their habitual shoes or barefoot. Running BF changed spatiotemporal and joint kinematics, including the stride frequency (increased) and length (decreased), and foot strike pattern (more plantarflexed ankle at initial contact). An increased impact force was observed (p < 0.05), while joint moment, power, and work were also affected by BF running: a shift of joint load from the knee and hip to the ankle occurred (p < 0.05). In cytokine levels, maintenance (all cytokines, except Eotaxin, IL-12p40, IL-2, IL5, and MIP-1 beta) or reductions (IL-12p40, IL-2, and IL5) were observed as an acute response to BF running, what means to keep or reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and immunological/chemoattraction proteins when compared to SH. Summarily, a single session of BF running may not represent enough stress to induce changes in the inflammatory profile. Besides the increased impact force, the joint load was reduced during short-term BF running. Nevertheless, short-term BF running should be cautiously applied due to the shift of joint load from the knee and hip to the ankle.

Teachers’ beliefs and experiences regarding collaboration across language subjects

ABSTRACT In schools worldwide, there are increasing expectations for teacher collaboration across subjects. However, despite the potential benefits for students and teachers of viewing language subjects as interrelated, limited research has explored how meaningful collaboration across different language subjects can be undertaken. Addressing this gap, this study investigates language teachers’ experiences with and perspectives on collaboration across language subjects. Data were generated from focus group discussions with teachers of Norwegian, English, French, German, and Spanish in four Norwegian secondary schools and analysed through reflexive thematic analysis. The analysis revealed that teachers had limited prior experience in this area but recognised several potential benefits, such as increased language awareness and a more holistic understanding of languages. However, teachers’ suggestions for collaboration mainly focused on sharing ideas and coordinating tasks, whereas deeper forms of joint work are likely necessary to achieve lasting learning effects. Moreover, teachers lacked knowledge of each other’s subject curricula, whereas a crucial starting point for effective collaboration would be for teachers to become familiar with the contents of all language subject curricula in school. Finally, the analysis suggests that effective collaboration requires active leadership support to address practical challenges and develop a shared understanding of what collaboration may entail.

DIGITAL SUPPORT OF STUDENTS’ JOINT ACTIONS IN INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT’S ORIGIN: THE CASE OF PROPORTIONALITY

Our primary school module with the digital support “Inks” was designed following V.V. Davydov’s idea on the assembling sets context as crucial for number concept formation. Making-sets task and the mixture problem scaffold the initial steps towards proportional reasoning, which is known to be diffi cult for students. The learning situation revolves around purposeful transformations of the inks shade towards the one desired, with a variety of tasks’ conditions: restrictions on the available amount of water and inks, some ready-made mixtures provided, etc. The substantial feature of our instruction was the organization of joint work through distribution of the operations on paint components. The necessity of some preliminary coordination between partners is posed by the real-life restrictions: once water and inks have been mixed, they cannot be separated back. The computer simulation adheres to this “rule” and makes students refer to the special modeling space and plan their operations on water and inks beforehand using tokens. The divergence of results, predicted by students through tokens placement, and the real color shade, obtained in computer simulation, sets the learning task and emphasizes the problem of coordination between partners’ actions within the modeling space. As students start to rely on the portion-by-portion counting, they succeed on the fi rst try: the stain of their new paint, prepared with the different amounts of components, merges with the sample mixture.  second-graders from an urban school (– years old) participated in the experimental teaching series, the video-taped classroom discussions, computer logs and written works were analyzed in order to assess students’ conceptual thinking development. Students’ constant success in tasks and the development of their modeling means functionality proved the computer support, which we have designed, to be relevant in several aspects: problematization and feedback, enabling simultaneous partners’ work, providing substantial tasks variations

Task-agnostic exoskeleton control via biological joint moment estimation.

Lower-limb exoskeletons have the potential to transform the way we move1-14, but current state-of-the-art controllers cannot accommodate the rich set of possible human behaviours that range from cyclic and predictable to transitory and unstructured. We introduce a task-agnostic controller that assists the user on the basis of instantaneous estimates of lower-limb biological joint moments from a deep neural network. By estimating both hip and knee moments in-the-loop, our approach provided multi-joint, coordinated assistance through our autonomous, clothing-integrated exoskeleton. When deployed during 28 activities, spanning cyclic locomotion to unstructured tasks (for example, passive meandering and high-speed lateral cutting), the network accurately estimated hip and knee moments with an average R2 of 0.83 relative to ground truth. Further, our approach significantly outperformed a best-case task classifier-basedmethod constructed from splines and impedance parameters. When tested on ten activities (including level walking, running, lifting a 25 lb (roughly 11 kg) weight and lunging), our controller significantly reduced user energetics (metabolic cost or lower-limb biological joint work depending on the task) relative to the zero torque condition, ranging from 5.3 to 19.7%, without any manual controller modifications among activities. Thus, this task-agnostic controller can enable exoskeletons to aid users across a broad spectrum of human activities, a necessity for real-world viability.

VIOLÊNCIA SEXUAL CONTRA CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES: O OLHAR DA PSICOLOGIA SOB O VIÉS SOCIAL

Taking into account that sexual violence against children and adolescents in addition to the emotional and psychological damage constitutes a violation of this public duty, this study aims to point the psychologist in the psychosocial care of child and adolescent victims of sexual violence. Among the specific objectives, present concepts related to the phenomenon of violence, highlighting its main characteristics, type, statistics in order to highlight one of its forms, sexual violence against children and adolescents; Identify significant psychological harm of sexual violence process in childhood and adolescence; Characteristic of the social psychology emphasizing how was the insertion of psychologists in social protection services. The methodology is bibliographical, from the Virtual Library database in Health Psychology (BVS-Psi), in addition to statistical sources, books and technical guidance documents to professional psychology. It is concluded that the look of psychology under the psychosocial bias shows that the psychologist in cases of sexual violence against children and adolescents is not based solely on psychic phenomena, but through joint work with the Social Protection Service, the psychologist seeks to understand the breaks these subjects and meet their needs through psychosocial approach as well, through the implementation of strategies aimed at minimizing the damage suffered, restore ties and prevent occurrences.

Determining the articulatory parameters in the "Avantis 3D" software, taking into account the position of the individual hinge axis.

In modern dentistry, the tactics of treating patients with occlusion and TMJ pathology are based on complex diagnostics. The key factor for the planned treatment of a patient depends on the accuracy of recording the individual parameters of the movement of the lower jaw. One of the methods for diagnosing the work of the temporomandibular joint and obtaining individual parameters for setting up the articulator is axiography (condylography). With the introduction of digital technologies into the practice of a dentist, such as CBCT, intraoral scanning, and the necessary software for creating 3D projects, the well-known method of registering protrusion and laterotrusion for setting the angles of the sagittal articular path and the angles of the Bennett joint angles in the articulator, based on the Christensen phenomenon, has found a new application. The creation of a virtual twin of the patient, the determination of his individual articulatory parameters greatly simplifies the procedure and reduces the time of diagnosis for the subsequent full rehabilitation of a patient with TMJ dysfunction.

Joint-level contributions to reducing mechanical work during split-belt walking in older adults

The study of split-belt treadmill adaptation provides insight into the priorities determining how we adapt to novel conditions during walking. During split-belt adaptation, young adults reduce their metabolic cost and positive leg work in part by learning to take longer steps on the fast belt, thus adopting a positive step length asymmetry. However, aging may lead to a shift in the work performed by distal versus proximal joints, so it is unknown if older adults can similarly reduce the work performed by the legs during split-belt walking. Therefore, we quantified the relationship between joint work rate and step length asymmetry when fourteen older adults walked on a split-belt treadmill. We hypothesized that total positive joint work would decrease at more positive step length asymmetries and that more positive asymmetries would be associated with a reduction in positive ankle joint work on the fast belt. We found that step length asymmetry was negatively correlated with total positive work (p = 0.01) and that changes in positive joint work were primarily driven by positive ankle work on the fast belt (p = 0.01). Since ankle musculature is hypothesized to be a major contributor to metabolic cost during gait, reductions in ankle joint work likely contribute to the reduction in metabolic cost observed in other studies of split-belt walking. These results demonstrate that healthy aging still allows individuals to take advantage of the work performed by the treadmill to reduce the mechanical energy cost of walking.

Managing experts’ conflicts of interest in the EU Joint Clinical Assessment

ObjectiveThis article critically evaluates the European Commission’s 2024 Implementing Regulation (IR) on conflicts of interest (COIs) management for stakeholders in the European Union (EU) Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA), with a focus on individual experts such as clinicians and patient representatives.Key findingsThe IR is the first EU-level framework to assess COIs in the context of health technology assessment (HTA). The regulation requires experts involved in the JCA to submit annual declarations of interest for both financial and non-financial interests and presents a matrix on whether these conflicts should disqualify them from participating in the joint work. We compared the IR to COIs-management approaches from other European national HTA bodies and found that the IR is closely modelled after the French guidelines. Concerns include potential over-representation of experts from a small number of countries, lack of guidance on organisational COIs, and ambiguities in how the size of financial interests are disclosed. Unclear resource allocation for enforcement could also hinder compliance.ConclusionsThe IR marks progress in EU-wide HTA collaboration, but improvements in transparency, expert diversity, and comprehensive COIs management are needed to ensure impartiality in the JCA process.

8.C. Scientific session: Health system resilience: A Planetary Health perspective

Abstract Planetary Health is a collective and unifying approach to balance the interlinkages between human health, political, economic and social systems as well as the natural systems of our planet, the importance of which is growing in the context of climate change in European countries and beyond. Yet, there is a dearth of of research linking Planetary Health to health systems’ resilience, particularly from a public health lens. With the number of studies growing regarding impacts of climate change on health, the question remains how health systems need to be prepared, focusing for example on the emergence of infectious diseases as well as the triple crises of biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change. In addition, tools to assess climate-related risks developed at international level, such as the vulnerability, adaptation and capacity assessment developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) have rarely been piloted in European countries. In this workshop, firstly evidence is presented on the status quo of how climate change impacts health and emerging infections in Europe and at global level. Secondly, the workshop provides insights into how tools to assess vulnerability and resilience of health systems in the context of climate change may be used in the European context. Thirdly, resilience is assessed against evidence emerging from the triple environmental crises of biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change. Key messages • In a planetary health lens, using mixed methods to consider climate change vulnerability of different population groups and adaptation potentials are key to address current complex health challenges. • Synergistic solutions and joint working across climate and health offer opportunities for greater health system resilience and population health impact.

Using the innovative tool to prepare a quality national cancer control programme

Abstract Issue National cancer control programmes (NCCPs) are key documents in European Member States (MSs) used for the management of cancer policy. While some countries still have not prepared their NCCPs, there are several others, whose NCCP is not of high quality or not implemented. Description of the problem There is frequently a lack of knowledge in countries on how to prepare a quality NCCP or how to improve the existing one. Our objectives were: 1. To provide help in the preparation of an NCCPs and in cancer control to EU MSs 2. To enhance the availability of all the documents needed and provide best practices from other MSs. The development of an innovative tool was therefore the main objective of iPAAC Joint Action (JA). Streamlining of all NCCP-related documents prepared by the three JAs in cancer policy (EPAAC, CanCon, iPAAC) was central to the deliverables. Results The solution lied in the preparation of the interactive innovative tool called Roadmap on the Implementation and Sustainability of Cancer Control Actions (Roadmap). It was developed in a joint effort and collaboration between EU MSs and the European Commission. It is available online and can be used by all countries, including countries that are not part of EU, and who aim at preparing a high quality NCCP. The extensive content of the tool covers primary prevention, health promotion, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and health care, as well as a number of sub-areas with important contents, and over a hundred one-pagers, which include national and regional experiences. Among the latter, the European Guide for Quality NCCPs with instructions how to prepare a quality NCCP is presented as one pager. Lessons As the result of over 10 years of joint work in cancer control at EU level MSs have now both, the opportunity to learn from each other and the opportunity to access all key information they need for controlling cancer, including the instructions on the preparation of the key document, their NCCP. Key messages • Using the Roadmap countries have access to instructions and guidance for the preparation of a quality NCCP. • The Roadmap enables the access to all key documents for the management of cancer control in one place to all countries.
