Integrity, plenitude, comprehensiveness and objectivity of analysis of historical processes depend on the drafting clarity of the scientific problem and the right choice of scientific tools for analysis. They must comply with the newest requirements of scientific cognition, based on synergy, interdisciplinary approach and innovativeness. This concerns not only fundamental history but also historiographical discourse which enables to substantiate the problem in terms of conceptual and theoretical principles as well as methodology of historiographical research. It underlines the increased relevance of the issue, particularly in the case of historiography of Ukrainian national and cultural revival of “long century” period, which needs reinterpretation based on principles of social and cultural, anthropological and national historiography paradigms.

Understanding of the causes and correlations for algorithmic decisions is currently one of the major challenges of computer science, addressed under an umbrella term “explainable AI (XAI)”. Being able to explain an AI-based system may help to make algorithmic decisions more satisfying and acceptable, to better control and update AI-based systems in case of failure, to build more accurate models, and to discover new knowledge directly or indirectly. On the legal side, the question whether the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides data subjects with the right to explanation in case of automated decision-making has equally been the subject of a heated doctrinal debate. While arguing that the right to explanation in the GDPR should be a result of interpretative analysis of several GDPR provisions jointly, the authors move this debate forward by discussing the technical and legal feasibility of the explanation of algorithmic decisions. Legal limits, in particular the secrecy of algorithms, as well as technical obstacles could potentially obstruct the practical implementation of this right. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the authors explore not only whether it is possible to translate the EU legal requirements for an explanation into the actual machine learning decision-making, but also whether those limitations can shape the way the legal right is used in practice.

The aim of the study is to find the best approaches to the treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IH). Materials and methods of research: the experience of treatment of pediatric patients with IH of various localization is presented, which was carried out according to the protocol elaborated by the authors. Systemic therapy with propranolol, local therapy, laser therapy were used in the complex of treatment. The age of patients at the beginning of therapy ranged from 1 month up to 4,5 years. Results: in all cases, patients with propranolol treatment showed a quick and stable effect. Even at the time of the selection of the dose of the drug, IH patients began to involute, became paler, less tense. The thickness of the soft tissues in the IH area decreased by 65% compared to the baseline, the number of functioning vessels decreased by 86%. The maximum effect was achieved within the first 6 months from the start of therapy. Clinical case report – a 2,5-year-old child with extensive hemangioma of the right buttock. There was a complex treatment with propranolol, local therapy, laser therapy. The general course of treatment with propranolol was 2 years 8 months. The total number of laser interventions was 6 with the overall effect in the form of maximum regression of residual clinical manifestations of IH. A positive clinical and ultrasound picture was noted, indicating a pronounced involution of IH, and a gradual withdrawal of propranolol was started. Conclusion: the effectiveness of a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of extensive complicated IH was demonstrated with the participation of specialists of various disciplines: pediatricians, cardiologists, surgeons, specialists in functional and ultrasound diagnostics, specialists in laser therapy, endocrinologists in a severe premature baby with a large number of somatic problems. The clinical treatment algorithm developed and implemented for patients with IH makes it possible to avoid more aggressive methods of treatment of this pathology and to improve the quality of life of this category of patients. On the basis on the results obtained, indications for laser therapy with a selective pulsed laser were formulated.

Abstract The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (crc) is the most ratified human rights treaty. In this article, three intimately connected concepts will be explored in relation to the framework of the State Party reporting mechanism related to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: physical education, physical activity and sport (pepas). A documentary analysis of three key document types from the Treaty Body reporting mechanisms was undertaken, including State Parties Reports (n = 104), List of Issues (n = 126) and Concerns/Observations and Recommendations (n = 797). There was a very low prevalence of the concepts of physical education, physical activity and, to a greater extent, sport, in these three reports. Seven themes emerged after the qualitative analysis: sport programmes, school-based sport, legislation and policies, key agents, interdisciplinary approach, enablers of sport and miscellaneous. Increased questioning of States with regards to their implementation of the right to sport, the issuance of pepas-based recommendations and guidance on how to achieve these rights from the Treaty Bodies would assist in solidifying understanding of sport as a human right and increase the impetus on States to act for pepas provision.

In this chapter, global food policy is depicted as focusing on the elimination of hunger and improvement of food security for all persons while simultaneously satisfying their dietary needs and food preferences. This chapter provides a brief history ranging from late-nineteenth-century practices to the current impact of economic globalization on food systems. This is followed by a review of the current state of hunger and malnutrition, including the persistence of these despite major increases in global food production. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop food policies, including the right to food, using an interdisciplinary approach in the context of global studies. Such an approach calls attention to ethical and legal principles that affirm the right to sufficient and nutritious food. This understanding of political, economic, ecological, social, and cultural conditions will ensure the development of critical thinking with respect to the agenda of global food politics.

Palatoradicular groove is an anomaly which is found more frequently in upper lateral and central incisors. This condition may lead to endo-perio lesions. A 19- year- old female presented with chief complaint of swelling and pus discharge from the gums of the right side of the upper front teeth and she also complained of loose tooth and intermittent pain. On clinical examination, probing pocket depth of 10 mm, grade II mobility and extrusion of the tooth was found. A combined endo-perio treatment was performed and elimination of the groove, pain and reduction in probing pocket depth and mobility was achieved. The purpose of this case is to highlight an interdisciplinary approach towards the management of an anomaly which may affect the endodontic status of the tooth and periodontal health of the patient.

Academic discourse on global justice is at an all-time high. Within ethics and international law, scholars are undertaking new inquiries into age-old questions of building a just world order. Ethics – within political and moral philosophy – poses fundamental questions about responsibilities at the global level and produces a tightly reasoned set of frameworks regarding world order. International law, with its focus on legal norms and institutional arrangements, provides a path, as well as illuminates the obstacles, to implementing theories of the right or of the good. Yet despite the complementarity of these two projects, neither is drawing what it should from the other. The result is ethical scholarship that often avoids, or even misinterprets, the law; and law that marginalizes ethics even as it recognizes the importance of justice. The cost of this avoidance is a set of missed opportunities for both fields. This article seeks to help transform the limited dialogue between philosophers and international lawyers into a meaningful collaboration. Through a critical stocktaking of the contributions of the two disciplines, examining where they do and do not engage with the other, it offers an appraisal of the causes and costs of separation and an argument for an interdisciplinary approach.

In the terminology of classical Christian theology the word eschatology means ‘the doctrine of the last things’. A discussion of NT eschatology would, under such a definition, treat of the hope of life after physical death, personal immortality, the general resurrection, the last judgment, heaven and hell. This use of the word remains of course in current usage; but in modern biblical discussion ‘eschatology’ is commonly employed in a somewhat different way, which may be defined by the statement that in characteristically eschatological thinking the significance of a series of events in time is defined in terms of the last of their number. The last event is not merely one member of the series; it is the determinative member, which reveals the meaning of the whole. Such thinking inevitably assumes the reality of historical processes, and that they are meaningful; in this, of course, it is fully consistent with Biblical thought as a whole; indeed, it might be said that the Biblical view of history derives its characteristic pattern from the fact that the Bible is a predominantly eschatological book. This is not to say either that the whole of the Bible is written from an eschatological standpoint, or that eschatological writing is not to be found outside the Bible; but the Bible is undoubtedly the classical field of eschatology, dominated as it is by the belief that the Judge of all the earth will do right, but that the right which He does will not necessarily be seen to be right until it is brought to a full end.

Through history, numerous events have taught us that the beliefs we once thought to be certainties were in fact mistaken, due to a lack of information. Still, in many occasions we tend to fall into the same cycle, believing that this time around we are actually on the right side of things, and that our newly acquired knowledge is a part of the progression to the betterment of humanity. The present research simply intends to present an example from the popular world of sports that shows how little we actually know about some of the closest things to us, such as our own bodies or the technique required to run straight, and how one single case is enough to disregard decades of assumed scientific certainty. This interdisciplinary approach to Usain Bolt’s case only attempts to shed some light over our ignorance, and specially in our pretentious assumptions regarding human knowledge. This humble approach is absolutely necessary in our quest to improve education in our society.

From the apocalyptic kingdom sequence and Nebuchadnezzar’s madness narrative in Daniel, Ellen G. White developed a cosmic-conflict account of divine judgment in human history: God’s character is revealed through the moral principles of governance by which he judges the nations. Drawing on OT prophetic oracles against the nations, Steven J. Keillor discerns divine judgment in US history, not only in calamitous events, but also in historical processes that “sift” the righteous from the unrighteous. The 2016 U.S. presidential elections and their outcome fit both patterns of divine judgment, yielding the provisional, working conclusion that they were the culmination of a sifting judgment that humbled and revealed moral defects in the right-, center-, and left-wing factions of American politics. In response to a sense of being under divine judgment, American Christians should be taught to align their political loyalty to God instead of political factions so as to form characters fit to govern with Christ in the age to come.
