This article includes a theoretical review of Social Entrepreneurship (SE) due to the gradual increase in the need for new businesses, but also for solutions to social and environmental problems. First, a brief introduction is given explaining why it is important today to have a correct definition of ES. Additionally, the concept of entrepreneur and its different types are defined to create a context and thus be able to talk about the subject. Likewise, a literature review is carried out to achieve a better understanding of an avant-garde concept such as this type of entrepreneurship. Finally, the article concludes with the most important points covered throughout the writing, in addition to a definition of entrepreneur and social entrepreneurship made after analyzing the information found.

Background: The health and financial burden imposed by chronic non-communicable diseases is expected to increase in parallel with the rapid rate of global population aging. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is an important health problem. Medical professionals should thus provide their patients with knowledge about the appropriate prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, including SUI. Aim of the study: This study compared the level of knowledge concerning the risk factors, prevention, and treatment of SUI in women between physiotherapy graduates at two different Universities with a focus on medicine (Med) and physical education (PE). Material and Methods: This study included final-year physiotherapy students (n=401). Respondents provided answers to open-ended questions used to measure their knowledge about SUI in women. Results: The complete and correct definition of SUI was provided by 64.4% of the students at University Med, and 56.3% of the students at University PE. Students at University Med, in comparison with the students at University PE, had a significantly higher awareness of the risk factors (86.4% vs. 69.4%), prevention methods (85.6% vs. 68.7%), and conservative (92.4% vs. 77.8%) as well as surgical treatment (28.0% vs 6.7%) of SUI in women (p<0.001). Conclusions: There is a need for greater emphasis on education about SUI in order to better prepare physiotherapy graduate students to provide optimal care to their female patients. The disciplinary focus of Universities that provide graduate programs in physiotherapy plays a significant role in gaining knowledge about SUI.

Background: Organ donation is a life-saving process of removing an organ or tissue surgically from one person (the organ donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). As well as The demand for organ donation is increasing over time Thus, understanding the attitudes and beliefs associated with parental decision making improve the rate of transplantation. Aims: To Evaluate the perception of Saudi parents towards pediatric organ donation, and to assess the role of cultural and religious beliefs in the parental decision-making regarding organ donation, and to discover the misconceptions leading to the refusal of organ donation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Riyadh region from 1 July 2020 to 31 August 2020 among all Saudi parents aged 18-60 years in Riyadh at the kingdom of Saudi Arabia via an online questionnaire, the responses were Statistically analysis using R v 3.6.3. The mean ±standard deviation was used to summarize the distribution of continuous variables. Chi-square test of independence was used to assess the association between categorical variables. Linear regression was used to assess factors associated with knowledge regarding organ donation. Results: Among 588, the majority of responses, female 91.5%, showed that better education was associated with knowing about organ donation in children, with 60.7% of respondents who completed university education reporting so compared to 49.6% of those who completed high school education or more minor. Socio-economic status showed a statistically significant association with knowledge score (B = 0.36, P < 0.05). Moreover, higher education level showed a statistically significant association with accepting organ donation from one’s child (OR = 1.77, P = 0.05), in contrast to age, gender, and the number of children were not associated with organ donation acceptance. Respondents who did not think organ donation was permissible in Islam were less likely to accept organ donation than respondents who believed it was permissible (OR = 0.05, P < 0.001). More than half of the respondents heard about organ donation for children after death. At the same time, less than half of the respondents knew the correct definition for brain death. Only 34.7% of respondents knew that organ donation is allowed starting from birth. Most respondents knew about the possible organs to donate except for the lung. In addition, 45% of the respondents are either agreed or strongly agreed to discuss organ donation with their partner if they faced child loss. Conclusion: This study found a lack of knowledge regarding organ donation among parents and impressively shows that the parents are willing to discuss organ donation if they face child loss. There was an urgent need to introduce campaigns focussing on awareness of child organ donation, including the protocol used in Saudi Arabia, especially among low socioeconomic status and who do not know Islam permission.

One of the roles of extension services is to link farmers to the developers of technological solutions (research outputs). Extension officers act as facilitators and assist farmers in their decision-making and technology adaptation. With the changing climate threatening production resources, extension officers need to encourage farmers to adopt various climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices. The paper seeks to reflect on a study by the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) to assess their skills and knowledge about climate change and CSA. The study aimed to conduct a skills audit on CSA and related concepts. Through a stratified sampling method, all extension practitioners (EPs) registered with South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) were included in the survey. The survey, administered through a user-friendly tool (online google forms), was developed to investigate: familiarity with, and current skills in climate-smart agriculture and collect biographic information, field of responsibility (e.g. cropping, livestock and mixed farming). Both quantitative and qualitative data was sourced through the survey tool to draw generalized conclusion and perceptions of how best to improve the capabilities of EPs on CSA. The results of the survey showed that EPs had a theoretical understanding of climate change and CSA. Generally, EPs across all positions, education levels, age categories and experience could identify the correct definition and cause of climate change, despite the fact that the majority had not received any CSA training. On the contrary, the majority of respondents had little understanding of how best to apply the CSA approach in practice, to assist farmers curb the effects of climate change. A CSA training programme was developed to establish a strong theoretical base, together with an understanding of the challenges presented by climate change and climate variability to sustainable agriculture in South Africa.

In this paper, we investigate the question of whether the generally accepted interpretation of the supermassive object in M87, investigated by EHT collaboration, is the only possible one. There are grounds for this, in particular, due to the detection of a magnetic field in its vicinity. For this purpose, the stability of self-gravitating objects is investigated based on the correct definition of the energy of gravitation in the framework of the bi-metric approach to the theory.

This article is about the problem of understanding the concept „conflict of interest” and its characteristics in the legal positions of Administrative Court of Cassation as a part of Supreme Court of Ukraine. From the article we can understand that these legal positions touch the correct definition of characteristics of private interest, potential and real conflict of interest, finding out people who are subordinated to a person who is authorized to perform state or local self-government functions, and it can causes potential or real conflict of interest. These legal positions can be used in bringing the guilty persons to administrative responsibility under the Code of Administrative Offenses.

The article describes the problem of translating polysemantic and synonymous investment terms and is studied from the perspective of cognitive linguistics, namely in the light of the prototypes theory, which presupposes the identification of the content core as the best representative of the word's semantics. The subject of the research are the semantic processes taking place in the English term system reflecting investment activity. By the example of the research of term dealer and its synonyms broker and agent, the authors have defined that the meanings of polysemantic and synonymous terms are not isolated, but are united by a meaningful core and develop according to the laws of semantic derivation based on the common language nominative-non-derivative meaning. The authors found that the reduction of translation failures in the transfer of terms is possible due to the competent use of the cognitive context and the correct definition of the content core of the terminological unit. The research is carried out by means of such methods as the prototypical semantics method, a definitional and component analysis. When identifying the content core of a polysemantic term it is first of all necessary to define the average primary meaning of this term on the basis of dictionary definitions. As a result, the most frequent meaning is determined. Then etymological analysis of the meaning is carried out. At the next stage, in order to model the cognitive image of a word, contextual analysis is performed, and metaphorical comparisons are investigated. Based on the obtained data, a content core of the term is formulated generalizing all the derived meanings and demonstrating their connections. The results obtained allow the authors to prove that the meanings of polysemantic and synonymous terms are connected by a single content core and are developed on the basis of a common linguistic meaning. The practical value of the scientific research is in the possibility to use the results of the work in lexicographic practice when compiling terminological dictionaries, and when writing university courses in terminology and translation studies. The identification of a content core is necessary while translating polysemantic and synonymous terms, because it reveals the meaning of the term in the context and defines the choice of a right translation variant.

Abstract The outcomes of a clinical research directly depend on the correct definition of the research protocol, the data collection strategy and the data management plan. Furthermore, researchers often need to work within challenging contexts, such as in Tuberculosis services, where human and technological resources for research may be rare. The use of Electronic Data Capture systems, such as REDCap and KoBotoolbox, can help to mitigate such risks and to enable a reliable environment to conduct health research and promote results dissemination and data reusability. The proposed solution was based on needs pinpointed by researchers, considering the lack of an embracing solution to conduct research in low resources environments. The REDbox framework was built to enhance data collection, management and sharing in tuberculosis research, while providing a better user experience. The relevance of this article lies in the innovative approach to support TB research by combining existing technologies and developing support features. When focusing on positive aspects of each tool, it is possible to underpin tuberculosis research by improving data collection, management capability and security. Furthermore, the aggregation of meaning in raw data helps to promote the quality and the availability of research data.

Abstract How does one compute the Bondi mass on an arbitrary cut of null infinity I when it is not presented in a Bondi system? What then is the correct definition of the mass aspect? How does one normalise an asymptotic translation computed on a cut which is not equipped with the unit-sphere metric? These are questions which need to be answered if one wants to calculate the Bondi-Sachs energy-momentum for a space-time which has been determined numerically. Under such conditions there is not much control over the presentation of I so that most of the available formulations of the Bondi energy-momentum simply do not apply. The purpose of this article is to provide the necessary background for a manifestly conformally invariant and gauge independent formulation of the Bondi energy-momentum. To this end we introduce a conformally invariant version of the GHP formalism to rephrase all the well-known formulae. This leads us to natural definitions for the space of asymptotic translations with its Lorentzian metric, for the Bondi news and the mass-aspect. A major role in these developments is played by the “co-curvature”, a naturally appearing quantity closely related to the Gauß curvature on a cut of I.

Background. 62 ABO*O alleles of the ABO system are known. Some ABO*O alleles may be accompanied by the presence of residual A-glycosyltransferase activity in people of group O, which may lead to errors in determining the blood group. This confirms the important clinical significance of the ABO*O allele polymorphism. Knowledge of ABO*O gene polymorphisms and their prevalence contributes to the prevention of errors in determining the blood group of the ABO system.Objective: to study allele variants of the ABO*O gene in Russians.Materials and methods. The blood samples of 14,000 people were examined. The blood group was determined using anti-A, anti-Aweak, anti-B, lectin (anti-A1) and gel cards, as well as by cross-sectional method using standard red blood cells of O, A, and B groups. In one patient, the method of adsorption-elution with cold elution was used to identify a weak variant of antigen A, and the method of thermal elution was used to eliminate antigen- blocking plasma factors. Molecular determination of ABO*O alleles was performed in 130 individuals by polymerase chain reaction with sequence- specific primers and Sanger direct sequencing.Results. 13 allelic variants of the ABO*O gene were identified (10 with a typical deletion of c.261delG / N and 3 nondeletional alleles with polymorphism c.802G>A). Deletion alleles of ABO*O.01 were found in 92.85 % of the examined patients, nondeletion alleles of АВО*О.02 group – in 7.15 % of cases. The ABO*O.01.01 allele was detected with a frequency of 67.14 %, other deletion alleles – much less frequently: ABO*O.01.02 and ABO*O.01.11 – 5.71 %, ABO*O.01.26 – 5.00 %, ABO*O.01.12 – 4.30 %, ABO*O.01.13 and ABO*O.01.44 – 1.43 %, ABO*O.01.05, ABO*O.01.46, ABO*O.01.68 – 0.71 % each. Non-deletional alleles were found with the following frequencies: ABO*O.02.01 – 4.3 %, ABO*O.02.03 allele – 2.14 %, ABO*O.02.02 – 0.71 %. All individuals with the O group with the nondeletional allele had the Oαβ group, except for one patient (with the ABO*O.01.02 O.02.02 genotype), who had the Oβ group.Conclusion. For the first time, the immunogenetic characteristics of Russians are given according to ABO*O genes. Erythrocyte genomics helps to resolve the ambiguity of serological methods results and allows understanding mechanisms of different phenotypes formation. For the correct definition of natural isohemagglutinins and weak antigens variants should be used at least two different serological methods.
