Vaccine Hesitancy: Causation and Impact

This systematic literature review explores vaccine hesitancy: people’s delay or refusal to get vaccinated although vaccination is available. Vaccine hesitancy is a topic which has been gaining attention in the past few years as more people are choosing to not be vaccinated or get their children vaccinated. By refusing vaccination, not only are they at risk, but it becomes a matter of public health risk. Along with this, it has become a more prevalent problem with regards to the COVID pandemic and vaccine. I will be analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data surrounding various diseases over time, to aim to find the underlying reasons for vaccine hesitancy, establish whether there is an ultimate cause, and propose methods which can be used to combat fear or distrust in vaccinations.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1038/thumbnail.jp

Prenatal gender selection: medical, ethical and psychological aspects

The aim: to summarize the methodology of prenatal gender selection and the ethical aspects of its implementation. Materials and methods: the authors conducted the review in the database of scientific periodicals PubMed. Results: based on scientific publications, the principal techniques to determine sex in the pre-implantation period, in the embryo and fetus, are presented. Invasive and non-invasive procedures of prenatal diagnosis are described. Invasive procedures include examination of the fetus by chorionic villus sampling karyotyping of cells obtained by amniocentesis. Non-invasive techniques related to pregnant women's blood biochemistry and ultrasound markers of Down syndrome are given. Fetal blood DNA testing is a more sensitive diagnostic parameter that reduces the indication for invasive procedures. The newest and most effective method of sex determination in the pre-implantation period is sperm separation screening. Medical and non-medical reasons for prenatal gender determination, such as prevention of X-linked genetic disorders in a child, a couple's choice to balance the sex of children in the family and social gender preferences are shown. Gender selection for the prevention of X-linked disorders is justified. Ethical issues regarding the balance of children in the family, giving preference to certain sex with the help of advanced diagnostic techniques, and selective abortion are discussed. The bioethical principles for preventing selective abortion resulting from gender reasons are established. Conclusion: for preventing prenatal gender discrimination is highlighted more strongly by the need legal regulation and the ethical control of scientific technologies in reproductive medicine

Тлумачення поняття символу як найбільш складного знаку (The interpretation of the term symbol as most complicated sign)

Стаття присвячена актуальному питанню співвідношення поняття «символ» та поняття «знак» у сучасних лінгвістичних дослідженнях. З’ясовано зміст зазначених понять, визначено їх основні ознаки. На основі проведених досліджень вітчизняних та зарубіжних мовознавців встановлено їх схожості та відмінності. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що поняття «символ» має більш складний характер ніж поняття «знак», тому не можна говорити про їх тотожність. (The article is dedicated to urgent question of correlation of the term «symbol» and the term «sign» in modern scientific researches in the area of semiotics, linguistic semiotics, linguistics, culture science, linguistic culture science, philosophy. The aim of our research is analysis of these terms, defining its main characteristics, and also finding out its similarities and differences. The matter of the term «symbol» and the term «sign» was found out and its main characteristics were defined based on conducted research. Its similarities and differences were determined based on researches conducted by domestic and foreign linguists. It is pointed in our investigation that symbol and sign have a lot of differences. As a result of our research it was discovered that symbol is connected with non-material world of senses and it is also characterized by indefinite character and the ability connecting people into one ethno-culture. We paid our attention to the fact that the term «symbol» has more complicated character, that the term «sign», that is why it is impossible to talk about its identity. The material which was analyzed in this article promotes synthesizing and systematization information about opening the term «symbol». All results of this exploring can be used for the purpose of prevention contextual mixing in usage analyzed terms in modern linguistic researches.
