Recent works devoted to investigating the role of electric polarizability of nuclei in elastic and nucleosynthesis reactions are critically and constructively reviewed, in order to formulate some problems of the low-energy potential scattering theory. Possible methods for solving these problems are outlined. One of the problems, a correct definition of the range of action of the polarization potential, is discussed in detail. An intuitively clear conception of this radius — the lower bound of the distance range, where the polarization potential may be replaced by identical zero — is used as a starting point. The fact that this bound should be defined in each concrete case is demonstrated by the results obtained by exploration of the pp reaction and the S-wave π±d-elastic collisions. Also discussed are numerical and analytical methods for finding the action radius depending on the studied function, the accuracy required for its evaluation, the scattering energy and the sign of the Coulomb potential.

The purpose of the article is to analyze approaches to the formation of the essence and constituent elements of the forensic characteristics of the legalization of corruption proceeds (Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), to highlight and describe the elements of the forensic characteristics of this criminal offense. Forensic characteristics play a special role in the very structure of the methodology for investigating a criminal offense of this type. A successful and comprehensive study of the circumstances of a criminal offense largely depends not only on the correct definition of the criminal-legal signs of an act, but also on the investigator’s understanding of the criminalistics nature of the corresponding offense. The analysis of publications indicates the presence of a number of disagreements between the authors in the construction of the forensic characteristics of the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime. Comparison of the existing doctrinal approaches to understanding the structural elements of the forensic characteristics of the legalization of funds obtained by criminal means, made it possible to form the author’s approach. According to the authors of the article, the forensic characteristics of the legalization (laundering) of incomes obtained as a result of the commission of a criminal offense should include both basic and additional elements. The main elements of the forensic characteristics of legalization are proposed to include the following: typical traces of a criminal offense; its subject; the way of committing such an offense. Additional, according to the authors of the article, it is advisable to include the following: the subject of a criminal offense; the time of its commission; the area in which the offense is committed; the environment of the criminal offense; source of origin of “dirty money”. The proposed elements of the forensic characteristics of a criminal offense can be the starting point in the development of an effective methodology for investigating money laundering.

This chapter explores the articulations that have emerged over the last half century between various types of holism, Chinese medicine and systems biology. Given the discipline’s historical attachments to a definition of ‘medicine’ that rather narrowly refers to biomedicine as developed in Europe and the US from the eighteenth century onwards, the medical humanities are not the most obvious starting point for such an inquiry. At the same time, they do offer one advantage over neighbouring disciplines like medical history, anthropology or science and technology studies for someone like myself, a clinician as well as a historian and anthropologist: their strong commitment to the objective of facilitating better medical practice. This promise furthermore links to the wider project of critique, which, in Max Horkheimer’s definition of the term, aims at change and emancipation in order ‘to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them’. If we take the critical medical humanities as explicitly affirming this shared objective and responsibility, extending the discipline’s traditional gaze is not a burden but becomes, in fact, an obligation.

Pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians play an important role in counselling customers regarding sunscreen use and sun protection measures. A potentially helpful tool that can be used during counselling is the ultraviolet index (UVI), which informs individuals when and what sun protection measures are needed at a specific place and time. Our aim in this qualitative study was to explore awareness, knowledge, and use of the UVI during counselling in pharmacies. We used semi-structured interviews with pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians (n = 20) to answer our research questions. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. During the interviews pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians revealed a lot of uncertainty and lack of knowledge regarding the UVI. Eight professionals were able to give a correct definition of UVI. Amongst others, the UVI was confused with sun protection factor. Overall, the UVI was hardly used during the counselling of customers. The UVI was developed to provide guidance when which type of sun protection is required to avoid detrimental effects of ultraviolet radiation. For effective implementation, both the general population and health professionals (e.g., pharmacists) have to increase their knowledge about the UVI. This would strengthen its use during professional counselling in pharmacies and may help to reduce the incidence of skin cancer over the long term.
