Cadeia produtiva da apicultura no Nordeste
Authors: Lima Lidiane Nunes , Nogueira Eliane Maria de Souza , Andrade Wbaneide Martins
Published: December 2023

O artigo se propõe a realizar uma análise abrangente da cadeia produtiva da apicultura no Nordeste, considerando os aspectos socioambientais, socioeconômicos e os desafios enfrentados pelos apicultores e demais atores envolvidos na atividade. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática integrativa de literatura, na qual foram buscados trabalhos acadêmicos completos publicados nos repositórios: Google Acadêmico, Scopus, Web of Science, no período de janeiro de 2012 a junho de 2023. Foram encontrados 31 artigos distribuídos nos estados de Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí e Rio Grande do Norte, os quais têm como principais instrumentos de coleta de dados, entrevistas ou questionários semiestruturados, aplicados na maioria das pesquisas com apicultores. Dentre os principais desafios enfrentados pela atividade na Região Nordeste estão a falta de assistência técnica, falta de equipamentos e tecnologias apropriadas, e dificuldade em adquirir os selos ou certificações. Com isso é possível concluir que estudos sobre a cadeia produtiva da apicultura no Nordeste são pouco publicados na literatura cientifica. Sendo assim faz-se necessário um maior esforço das universidades juntamente com órgãos brasileiros para que as pesquisas tenham um maior suporte.

Published: December 2023

La región Chignahuapan-Zacatlán comprende siete municipios del noroeste del estado de Puebla donde hay 106 núcleos agrarios, resultado de las políticas de reparto agrario. Durante décadas, la estructura y composición del paisaje en la región han sido moldeadas por diferentes factores, tanto naturales como sociales. Este artículo pretende explicar la historia socioambiental de la región y los cambios en el paisaje que son resultados de las relaciones sociales. Los resultados se obtienen de la observación participante, entrevistas, revisión documental y datos vectoriales del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI). Los cambios en el paisaje se enfocan en el manejo forestal como una territorialidad impulsada desde la década de 1970 para involucrar a los propietarios de los bosques en el aprovechamiento forestal. Se encontró un paisaje cambiante en el tiempo con un mosaico diverso de usos del suelo (forestal, agropecuario, cuerpos de agua y asentamientos humanos). Se observa una tendencia al aumento de superficie de agricultura protegida y de zonas urbanas. Sin embargo, la superficie forestal se mantiene e incluso tuvo un cambio positivo de 0.58 %/año entre 2003 y 2021. La conservación de la cobertura forestal indica la influencia favorable del manejo forestal en la región, que, aunque fue impulsado desde procesos y actores externos, ha sido apropiado por los núcleos agrarios y predios particulares. El manejo forestal crea múltiples transformaciones en la forma y contenido de los territorios y su consideración será necesaria en las propuestas de desarrollo territorial basadas en la colectividad de los núcleos agrarios.

Published: December 2023

As the largest carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems, soils play a critical role in food production, mitigation and adaption to climate change, and sustainability of agroecosystems. In this context, the aim of this study is to estimate variations in soil carbon stocks resulting from land use and management changes in different biomes that compose the Bacia Estendida do Rio São Francisco (BESF - Extended São Francisco River Basin), between 1985 and 2017. For this, remote sensing data and information from the IBGE agriculture and livestock census were used, in addition to emission factors to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC) changes. The results indicate that BESF had about 5.70 million ha degraded in the analyzed period, in addition to an increase of 0.72 Tg C year-1 in SOC stocks. The sub-medium São Francisco River basin recorded the highest SOC gain, with an increase of 0.54 Tg C ha-1; on the other hand, the sub-medium São Francisco River sub-basin had the greatest SOC losses, with an estimated reduction of 0.07 Tg C year-1. In short, this study provides important evidence on changes in SOC stocks in the region, emphasizing the importance of native vegetation conversion to agriculture and livestock systems under sustainable soil management for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and maintaining soil quality.

Authors: Yulita Nurma , Musthofa Muhammad Wakhid
Published: December 2023

This investigation aims to analyze the effect of sharia banking financial performance using the RGEC method (Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance, Earnings, Capital) on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The independent variables in this study were measured the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Operating Costs to Operating Income (BOPO), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), and Return On Equity (ROE), while the dependent variables measured by the percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The type of research is quantitative with six samples of Sharia banks consisting of Bank Muamalat Indonesia, BRI Syariah, BNI Syariah, Bank Mandiri Syariah, Bank Mega Syariah, and BCA Syariah with data for the quarter of 2016 to 2020. The analysis technique data were analyzed using panel regression with a fixed effect model method processed with Eviews 12 software. The results showed that the FDR, BOPO, and ROE variables had a positive influence and were significant on Indonesia's gross domestic product. Furthermore, the CAR and GCG variables cannot influence Indonesia's economic growth. Meanwhile, the results of Test F show the RGEC ratio of sharia banks had a significant influence on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the same time.

Authors: Mabogo Nomonde Shantel Tshiwela , Odera Patroba Achola
Published: December 2023

This study models groundwater vulnerability to contamination in three northern district municipalities (Amajuba, Zululand and Umkhanyakude) in KwaZulu Natal province in South Africa using GIS-based DRASTIC model. The method considers seven parameters: depth to water table (D), recharge (R), aquifer media (A), soil media (S), topography (T), impact of the vadose zone (I), and hydraulic conductivity (C). DRASTIC parameter maps are generated in ArcGIS environment and relevant weights assigned. A weighted overlay analysis is then employed to generate the groundwater vulnerability map for the study area. Finally, the groundwater vulnerability map is combined with land use/cover to obtain groundwater pollution risk map. Results indicate that 22, 45, 21 and 12% of the total area are under low, moderate, high, and very high groundwater contamination vulnerable zones, respectively. Low, moderate, high, and very high groundwater pollution risk are found in 23, 40, 27 and 10% of the total area, respectively. These results can be used by environmental managers, spatial planers and other policy makers in formulating integrated and sustainable development plans to ensure optimal groundwater exploitation and conservation in the northern KwaZulu Natal region.
Comparative Study for Understanding the Spatial Growth Pattern of Pune and Jaipur City from 1990 to 2020

Published: December 2023

Understanding the urban form, conducting spatial change analysis of an urban area using time-series data, and identifying urban growth drivers play a crucial part in framing policies for sustainable planning practices. In this research, an inverse S-curve function is employed to examine Urban Land Densities (ULD) derived from concentric divisions of urban regions in Pune and Jaipur. The inverse S-curve quantitatively describes variations in Urban Land Density (ULD) from the urban center to the outskirts. Consequently, the parameters identified during the curve-fitting process offer information about the urban form of the cities, shedding light on their rate of expansion, level of compactness, and the nature of sprawl. Built-up area is determined from the Landsat datasets for the years 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011,2016, and 2021. The analysis confirmed that Pune revealed an increase in sprawling, expansive, and low-density development. As a city that has grown linearly, Jaipur has experienced more constrained growth than Pune. Additionally, the fitted ULD equation provided an accurately fitted radius for Jaipur, but not for Pune, highlighting the equation's shortcomings. The direction analysis and understanding of the change in the slopes of the S curve further led to identifying growth drivers, broadly classified into proximity, government intervention, socioeconomic, and physical factors. The study can help achieve future research objectives in simulating and modeling urban growth and creating policies to deal with related problems.

Published: December 2023

Surkhet Valley hosts Birendranagar City which is the capital of Karnali Province of Nepal and there is a rapid change in the landscape of this valley. This change can be attributed to its designation as an administrative capital and the leading economic center of the province. Thus, this study aimed to observe the changing land use and land cover (LULC) patterns of Surkhet Valley. Object-based image analysis was carried out for image classification for Landsat images of years 1989, 1999, 2009, and 2019. Key findings, for the area of 103.15 km2 Surkhet Valley, showed decreasing area of cultivated lands and increasing spatial coverage of built-up areas. The cultivated lands that measured 42 km2 for the year 1989 had plummeted to just 28.23 km2 in 2019. On the other side, the area covered by built-up class was only 1.16 km2 in 1989 which rose to 15.41 km2 in 2019. The changes in LULC coverage of other classes such as forests, shrub/grassland, sand, and water were negligible. The rate of change in the area of LULC classes built-up and cultivation was near but in the opposite direction. Built-up had an increasing rate of 0.49 km2year-1 while cultivation area had a decreasing rate of -0.46 km2year-1. When the built-up area of 2019 was compared to the base area of 1989 it had a gain of 1270.46% indicating its rapid growth in the past three decades. These reflected an increasing trend in spatial coverage of built-up areas indicating rapid urban growth.

Published: December 2023

Aim. To study pathomorphological signs of revascularization of perifocal areas of brain infarction in the dynamics of the acute period of the disease.
Material and methods. Perifocal areas of brain infarction in patients who died at the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 14th days were studied. General histopathological study was followed by 10 % ammonium silver impregnation and immunohistochemical examination using monoclonal antibodies Mo a-Hu CD34, Clone QBEnd/10 (“Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.” – USA) and Mo a-Hu CD105 Endoglin were used. clone: SN6h1 (“DAKO”, Denmark). Vascular density and total cross-sectional area of vessels were studied. For the morphometric study, Videotest – Morphology 5.2.0.158 software (VideoTest LLC) was used. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the Statistica® for Windows 13.0 software.
Results. According to the data of CD34 expression, from the 3rd day in the perifocal areas of brain infarction, the angiogenesis processes were increased: the density of blood vessels increased by 18.48 %, and the total cross-sectional area of vessels increased by 1.93 times. On the 7th day, the maximal vessel density and total cross-sectional area of vessels were registered in these areas; there was a vascular budding, formation of endothelial proliferates, and increased expression of CD105 on the vascular endothelium and pericytes, which indicates the active participation of the latter in angiogenesis. On the 14th day, blood vessel density and indicators of the total cross-sectional area of vessels decreased. During this period, the density of the astrocytes increased in the infarct’s perifocal areas with hypertrophy of their bodies and processes.
Conclusions. According to CD34 and CD105 expression data, in the perifocal areas of cerebral infarction, the processes of angiogenesis gradually increase from the 3rd day manifesting by increase in the blood vessel density and total vascular cross-sectional area, as well as in the vascular budding and the formation of endothelial proliferates. Vascular remodeling is accompanied by increased density and hypertrophy of astroglia in the perifocal areas of cerebral infarction.

Aim. To evaluate the changes in the total cellularity (Nuc) of the rat sciatic nerve regenerative neuroma (RegN) and its representation of CD90, CD44, CD146, and CD133 positive cells, as well as its neurotization under the conditions of dexamethasone (Dex) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF).
Materials and methods. After injections of dexamethasone and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the regenerative neuroma of 168 male Wistar rats, CD90, CD44, CD146 and CD133 positive cells were detected immunohistochemically in the regenerative neuroma. Its total cellularity and neurotization were determined and statistical processing of the obtained data was performed.
Results. It was found that dexamethasone and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor change the representation of cellular patterns and neurotization of regenerative neuroma.
Conclusions. The amount of neurotization of the regeneration neuroma directly depends on the specific amount of Schwann cells in its composition. Dex and GCSF, despite different mechanisms of action, lead to an increase in the content of neuroleumocytes in RegN.

Published: December 2023

Ovarian tumors constitute 3.4 % of the structure of oncological diseases in women worldwide. However, the ovaries are also a common target for metastasis of carcinoma from other organs. Conducting differential diagnosis between primary carcinoma and metastasis is often challenging.
The aim of this study is to highlight the issues of morphological and immunohistochemical differential diagnosis of primary ovarian carcinomas and metastases from carcinomas of various organs to the ovaries.
Materials and methods. Data analysis of clinical and pathohistological studies of 381 patients. Paraffin sections for pathohistological studies were stained with hematoxylin and eosin using standard methodology. Immunohistochemical studies were conducted in 161 cases using a panel of antibodies: cytokeratins, estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, CA125, TTF1, Vimentin, CDX2, Villin, Chromogranin A, Synaptophysin, CD56, GATA, p53, Inhibin A, FOXL-2, PAX-8, Ki-67. The specimens were examined and analyzed using the Axioskop 40 microscope (Zeiss) with the AxioCam MRc camera (Zeiss).
Results. The article discusses key issues of differential diagnosis of primary and metastatic ovarian carcinomas based on a large clinical and operational material. The application of an adequate panel of immunohistochemical antibodies for verification is considered. The results of the frequency of occurrence of different histological variants of ovarian carcinomas and metastases to the ovaries from carcinomas of other organs are provided based on our own research from 2019 to 2023. The main morphological and immunohistochemical indicators for practical use in the work of a pathologist in the verification of ovarian tumors are presented. An example of forming an antibody panel, taking into account clinical and morphological indicators in a specific clinical case from our own practice, is given.
Conclusions. Metastases of carcinomas from other organs to the ovaries constitute half of all cases requiring immunohistochemical investigation based on morphological structure. The most common are metastases from breast and colorectal cancers. However, the diagnosis of metastatic intestinal carcinoma is particularly challenging, as there is usually no clear clinical picture. In the differential diagnosis of primary and metastatic ovarian tumors, a comprehensive approach to analyzing the clinical presentation, microscopic structure of the tumor, and the surrounding tissue plays a significant role. Additionally, the formation of an antibody panel, taking into account these data, is crucial. The article provides a list of antibodies that have demonstrated greater effectiveness in our work.
The Prince, the Noblemen and the Painter: Collectionso Works of Art in Copenhagen Between 1800 and 1848
Authors: Christensen Charlotte
Published: December 2023

The history of collecting in Denmark and Norway in the 19th century is intimately connected with the history of the painters and sculptors active during that period. Only in Copenhagen were the Royal and private collections accessible to the artists, for whom copying paintings by Old Masters formed an important part of their curriculum. Major collectors of the Age were Prince Christian Frederik (later King Christian VIII of Denmark), who mainly acquired paintings and sculptures by contemporary artists, and the portrait painter Christian Albrecht Jensen, whose preference was to buy and sell the works of Old Masters. In Copenhagen, the collections of the Counts Moltke, which mainly consisted of works by Dutch painters, was open to the public, while the Royal Collection (today a part of Statens Museum for Kunst) could only be visited from 1827 onwards. None of the three collections dealt with in the present article have survived until today, while the works of art and the antiques belonging to the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen are at present housed in the museum bearing his name.
Canons and Networks. 19th-Century Danish Art in Paris
Authors: Łukasiewicz Martyna , Mednick Thor
Published: December 2023

Collections of Danish Golden-Age art are quite rare outside of Scandinavia, especially when it comes to those developed in accordance with a well-thought-out strategy established through the international cooperation of scholars. An important exception is the large group of Danish drawings, oil sketches, and artists’ correspondence found in the Fondation Custodia – Collection Frits Lugt in Paris, gathered by art historian and longtime museum director Carlos van Hasselt (1929–2009). As director, van Hasselt provided an interesting model of collecting, as his pursuit was not motivated by a particular investment strategy. His collection may, in a sense, be viewed as the material result of a network, one which he established and which brought together Danish researchers and museologists, as well as international art dealers. The aim of this article is therefore to investigate how a network may inform and help determine a particular collection practice, to trace how van Hasselt became an agent of the Danish art establishment, and to provide a critical overview of this collection, which became a satellite representation of the canon of 19th-century Danish art in Paris. Analysis of Carlos van Hasselt’s archive will provide critical reflections on the ways in which the collection was built and developed, and how it may serve as an example of the international dissemination of canons.
Between Art Historical Representation and Didactic Functionality: The Cast Collection of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp
Authors: Müller Ulrike , Verreyke Hélène , D’haeyere Tine
Published: December 2023

During the long nineteenth century, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp – just like many other art schools in this period – assembled a collection of some 500 plaster casts after ancient and modern sculptures, which played an essential role in the education of young art students. The creation of such collections went in parallel with the blossoming of cast museums all over Europe, as well as the emergence of a large-scale exchange network set up to facilitate the international dissemination of plaster casts. However, in contrast to cast museums, which brought together masterpieces of classical Western sculpture in order to contribute to the aesthetic edification of the public, the cast collections of art academies had a more pragmatic and didactic function. This article focuses on cast collections at art academies, and how the formation and functioning of such collections related to broader educational concepts and practices at these schools. Taking the collection of plaster casts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp as a case study, we will trace the various actors, methods and strategies employed to create the collection, uncover how the collection related to the artistic idea(l)s expressed in the educational programme of that institution, and discuss how and where it was located and displayed. Based on the rich archives of the academy, it examines a broad range of different sources, including purchase lists, inventories and correspondence concerning the formation of the collection, as well as floor plans, photographs and original drawings attesting to the location and use of the casts. It traces the provenance of the objects, analyzes the profiles of the individuals and institutions involved in creating the collection, and identifies to what extent and how creative repurposing played a role in the collection’s functioning. The article argues how cast collections formed by art academies – in addition to representing the art historical canon of a given place or period – are an important reflection of the didactic practices, aesthetic priorities and, above all, the creative encounters that distinguish these institutions from the purposes of the public (cast) museum.
„Pandi-Project”. Narracyjna metabolizacja doświadczenia w „Dziennikach czasu pandemii”
Authors: Tokarska Urszula , Ruczaj Joanna
Published: December 2023

The presented research is a part of the broader project carried out in Poland to reconstruct the ways of experiencing the first wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Personal documents were obtained from psychology students elaborating daily their current experience in a written form – using proposed patterns (narrative “Subjective Figures”). The semantic analysis of 30 “Pandi-Diaries” was conducted by coders according to our Coding Sheet on three levels of text organization: content analysis, formal and meaning-making aspects. The results confirm other researchers’ reports about the visible domination of “avoiding” and/or “task-oriented” responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic’s first wave. Parallelly, results indicate the incomplete competencies of our Diaries’ Authors in their differentiation of internal states, and a kind of resistance in the use of the developmental potentiality which transcends survive and social adaptation tasks. The results can be applied in counselling, psychotherapy and supporting life-long “existential resilience” deep education activities.

Authors: Zhang Qing
Published: December 2023

Forensic Linguistics as a discipline has gone through more than 30 years of development in China, which can be divided into the brewing period, the establishment and development period, and the comprehensive improvement period. Scholars have presented the origin and development of forensic linguistics in the form of papers, monographs, translations, textbooks, seminars, conferences and other forms, which promotes the future development of forensic linguistics. In the past decade, the study of forensic linguistics has mainly focused on the theoretical research of forensic linguistics, the application of legislative and judicial language, the translation and teaching of legal language. This paper will adopt the method of literature research to summarize the origin and development of Chinese forensic linguistics in the past 30 years, and to anticipate the future development direction of forensic linguistics in the light of the current research characteristics and the hotspot of the times, so as to provide references for the theoretical development and application practice of current forensic linguistics, and to better guide future discipline development in China.
„The dead are sleeping here” - the history, archaeology and ethnography of Chojnice’s Death Valley
Authors: Kobiałka Dawid
Published: December 2023

Death Valley in Chojnice, Poland, is a mass murder site from World War II where Germans and various officials of the Third Reich organised and carried out mass executions of Poles. The site and the events that took place there have been the subject of scholarly research and war crimes prosecutions since 2020. This paper intends to outline three aspects of them: 1) how playing in Death Valley as a child determined the later scholarly interest in the site, 2) how reading of a book Chojnice 1939–1945, about World War II and the crimes committed in the region, drew attention to undiscovered aspects of the site, 3) the last parts present the course and preliminary results of three seasons of scientific research and prosecution of war crimes committed on the northern outskirts of the town.
„Takie jak w rzeczywistości”. Obraz fotograficzny - obiektywne odwzorowanie czy subiektywna kreacja? Fotografia w badaniach archeologicznych
Authors: Markiewicz Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

The article reviews the current state of knowledge on photography and the use of photographs in archaeological research. The discovery of photography was a breakthrough in the history of archaeology. The mechanical method of image registration, considered to be devoid of subjective human intervention,  was supposed to guarantee the neutrality and objectivity of the visual representation. Belief in realism of photography has led to it becoming the primary form of documentation in archaeology, for both the research process and the relics themselves. This article will attempt to answer the question of whether we can trust the reality captured by the photographer? The reading of a photograph is done through culturally shaped codes. The ability to decipher those codes depends on the knowledge and experience of the recipient. The photographic image relies on the photographer’s subjective view of the subject, as well as the medium used, which influences the nature of the representation.

Kilka uwag o nowelizacji ustawy o kształtowaniu ustroju rolnego z 23 lipca 2023 r.
Authors: Bieluk Jerzy
Published: December 2023

Celem rozważań jest ocena niektórych rozwiązań zawartych w nowelizacji ustawy o kształtowaniu ustroju rolnego, która weszła w życie 16 października 2023 r. Autor stwierdził między innymi, że wprowadzone zmiany nie rozstrzygają w pełni zasadniczych problemów związanych z interpretacją ustawy. Rozwiązania dotyczące zakresu wyłączeń z ograniczeń obrotu, osób bliskich czy też przekształceń spółek handlowych są nieprecyzyjne i nie pozwalają na jednoznaczną pozytywną ocenę. Kolejne zmiany regulacji ustawowej (od 2016 r. było 21 nowelizacji) powodują, że interpretacja jej przepisów staje się coraz bardziej złożona. Dlatego konieczne jest uchwalenie nowej ustawy, która w sposób precyzyjny, a jednocześnie realizujący konstytucyjną ochronę gospodarstwa rodzinnego określi ramy ograniczeń w obrocie nieruchomościami rolnymi. Jest to ogromne zadanie dla ustawodawcy i dla doktryny prawa rolnego w Polsce.
Duration Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Changes Blood Levels Of Angiotensin And Aldosterone
Authors: Rebrov Boris A. , Komarova Elena B. , Knyazeva Antonina K.
Published: December 2023

The article presents data on the influence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) duration on changes in blood levels of angiotensin (ATII) and aldosterone (ALD). Objective — To examine the changes in the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) depending on the time elapsed from the onset of RA (i.e., on the stage of the disease development). Methods – We examined 184 patients diagnosed with RA (sensu the ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria) without concomitant pathology. The control group (CG) consisted of 34 virtually healthy individuals. The serum concentrations of ATII and ALD were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results — When assessing the studied parameters of the RAAS, we discovered that in all examined RA patients, the level of ATII and ALD in the blood was more than twice as high as that in the CG (p<0.001; p<0.010). ATII concentration decreased unevenly with increasing disease duration. The differences of the group of patients with a duration of RA less than 6 months were not statistically significant with the groups of patients of 0.6-1.0 and 2.1-3.0 years (p>0.050), while the differences with patients with a disease duration of 1.1-2.0, 3.1-4.0, and >5 years were statistically significant (p<0.050). Further comparative analysis of the indicators revealed statistically significant differences between the group of patients of 0.6-1.0 years and patients with RA duration of 3.1-4.0 and >5 years (p<0.050), as well between patients with RA duration of 1.1-2.0 and 4.1-5.0 years (p<0.050). The blood content of ALD increased unevenly in patients: from the minimum to the maximum disease duration. In individuals with a duration of RA<0.5 years, the differences were significant (p<0.05), with the exception of the group of 0.6-1.0 years (p>0.05). In patients with a disease duration of 0.6-1.0 and 1.1-2.0 years, the differences were statistically significant with all subsequent groups of RA duration (p<0.05). Further mathematical processing of data using multiple regression analysis and determination of correlations showed the presence of a linear inverse relationship between the ATII level and the duration of the disease (R=-0.44, p<0.001; F=10.98, p=0.001). Data processing also revealed strong direct correlations between the level of ALD in the blood and the duration of the disease (R=0.4999, p<0.001; F=58.27, p<0.001). Conclusion — The RAAS is heterogeneous and its integration into a single system is ambiguous. The significance of various components of the RAAS in RA is determined by the pathophysiological processes in the patient’s body. Blocking of various components of the RAAS should be differentiated and either correspond to some specific levels of indicators for each patient, or match to the stages of RA associated with the duration of the disease.

Background — According to epidemiological studies, nearly 7 million people in Russia suffer from bronchial asthma (BA), of which 1 million have a severe form of the disease that is difficult to control. Insufficiently effective control of BA leads to a reduction in the quality of life, the development of its more severe forms, an increase in the frequency of exacerbations of the disease, and an increase in the number of disability and death cases in patients. Objective — The goal of our research was conducting a long-term cohort study of BA in adults living in the Republic of Bashkortostan and assessing the clinical and prognostic value of internal and external risk factors for exacerbation and death from BA. Methods and Results — We analyzed the medical records of 213 BA patients 18 to 67 years а age from 2012 through 2022. Genotyping of six SNPs in ADRB2 (rs1042713, rs1042714), CRHR1 (rs242939, rs1876828), NR3C1 (rs41423247), and HRH3 (rs3787429) genes was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Using regression analysis, we assessed predictors of the risks of exacerbation and death in BA and built multivariate models for each outcome. Conclusion — As a result of regression analysis, significant clinical and prognostic risk factors for re-exacerbation and death from BA were identified.

Our investigations show that electrochemical corrosion of copper is faster than electrochemical corrosion of aluminium at temperatures below 180°C and electric current density 3,000 A/m2 (or 30 A/dm2=3 mA/mm2). We have obtained that aluminium anodes (cylindrical or spherical) dissolve into concentrated NaCl solution during electrolysis more rapidly with temperature increasing while copper anodes (cylindrical or spherical) dissolve more slowly with temperature increasing from room temperature to temperature 180°C. Electric current value also increases with temperature increasing. Really, such result is unexpected. General quantity of the H+ and Cl- ions decreases during electrolysis at all temperatures since the H2 and Cl2 gases are formed near electrodes. It decreases electric current value on 1.3%. General quantity of the Cu+ and Cu2+ ions decreases with temperature increasing too. We guess that one reason only should be for electric current value increasing: average charge of copper ions increases from +1 at room temperature to +1.5 at 100°C and to +2 at 180°C while charge of aluminium ions remains the same +3. Corresponding mathematical model is proposed for the analysis, and literature experimental data are used too.

Motor disorders are among the most common consequences of severe craniocerebral injury (traumatic brain injury — TBI). Deeper insights into pathophysiological mechanisms of these disorders is important both from a theoretical point of view and in terms of improving neurorehabilitation approaches.

The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation of right–sided posttraumatic hemiparesis severity with composite characteristics of fractional anisotropy (FA) in the segments of the corpus callosum (CC), corticospinal tract (CST) and the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFO) at diﬀerent stages of traumatic disease (acute, subacute and long-term periods).

Material and methods. Cases of 43 patients with TBI were analyzed (28 men and 15 women aged 13 to 59 years, mean age 28±9 years). Forty patients were diagnosed with severe TBI with diﬀuse axonal damage, three patients had moderate severity TBI. Long-term follow up included continuous clinical and neurological examination with evaluation of patient’s level of consciousness using the CRS-R scale, and the degree of motor deﬁcits in right-sided hemiparesis using a ﬁve-point scale. During three post-TBI periods (up to 1 month, from 1 to 6 months, and from 6 to 12 months), patients were examined using diﬀusion tensor MRI (DTI), tractography and FA. Motor, cortico-spinal tracts and IFO were divided by measurement grid, correlations between FA and scores of right-sided hemiparesis were calculated for each segment.

Results. FA correlations (P0.05) with the severity of hemiparesis were established not only for CST motor-speciﬁc segments, but also for some CC and IFO segments. In the early period of TBI signiﬁcant correlations with hemiparesis severity were found not only in the contralateral CST segments, but also in the ipsilateral ones. Signiﬁcant diﬀerences in FA in the related CC and CST segments were found between the groups with good and limited motor recovery: at all stages after TBI, FA was higher in patients with successful recovery.

Conclusion. The results of the study provide better insight into pathophysiological mechanisms of post-traumatic motor disorders development, therefore favoring optimization of therapeutic strategies.

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in kidney transplant recipients.

We present our experience of effective removal of bacterial endotoxins and endogenous inflammatory mediators using a multimodal hemosorbent in sepsis, caused by gram-negative polyresistant Klebsiella spp. including K. pneumoniae. The device was used in a 15 y.o. patient after treatment failure of graft-bed abscess and removal of kidney transplant.

Results. Two 24-hour sorption procedures on Days 3 and 5 post-transplantectomy in combination with renal replacement therapy resulted in consistent decrease of pro-inflammatory markers concentrations (procalcitonin — 15.111.47.2 ng/ml; C-reactive protein — 23419990 mg/l), preventing therefore further progression of multiple organ dysfunctions.

Conclusion. Inclusion of selective adsorption of cytokines and/or lipopolysaccharides into multimodal intensive therapy in an immunosuppressed pediatric patient with sepsis caused by resistant microorganisms improved treatment outcomes.

The purpose of this study was to assess acquired knowledge and practical skills in foreign medical students (FMS) after theoretical and practical training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Material and methods. We conducted a prospective randomized trial «Simulation-based CPR training among international medical students: perspectives for medical education» envolving students undergoing training in the 31.05.01 specialty — General Medicine in English. Sealed envelope randomization was used to assign the participants (N=71) to 3 groups. European Resuscitation Council (ECR) educational Guidelines for Resuscitation was studied by students of all 3 groups. Group 1 (N=21) students did not receive additional training materials and practices. Group 2 (N=25) students were additionally provided with a link to a video lesson on CPR on the ECR Youtube channel. Students from Group 3 (N=25) were additionally involved in developing 3 mind maps: on the anatomy and physiology of the heart and CPR algorithm. All participants underwent theoretical training at the 1st stage, and «Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillation (AED)» simulation training at the second stage. At the end of the course, students’ practical skill in performing continuous chest compressions were examined.

Results. The majority of examinees passed the ECR platform test on the first or second attempt. The participants of the simulation course demonstrated high learning efficiency: there were no statistically significant differences between the groups in the number and average frequency of compressions performed. Almost all participants correctly performed hand placement in the center of the chest for chest compression. Decompression phase efficiency reached 71–77% (P=0.811) in all groups. The majority of examinees performed chest compressions to the required depth and with the recommended frequency (P=0.62).

Conclusion. The educational project initiated by foreign students yielded positive results: acquired knowledge of CPR algorithm, gained essential techniques of performing chest compressions and giving rescue breaths, retained skills in using automated external defibrillator, as well as teamwork skills.

Published: December 2023

The work is based on data from two data bases containing information about the prevalence of congenital anomalies of Lithuanian children. The first one is collected from autopsy data by one of the authors and covers the period 1981–1991. The second, called LIRECA, is maintained since 1993 and is based on questionnares filled in for each case of congenital anomaly of new-born. It is supposed that through absence of financial support this data base do not lately reflect the real situation. The aim of the work is to check this hypothesis on the ground of the comparative analysis of the both data bases and to estimate the extent of the disagreement.

Osteoarthritis 2050 projections and its multiple mitigation challenges
Authors: Marks Ray
Published: December 2023

Osteoarthritis is increasingly being shown to be an immense costly public health problem among the older population that is not readily reversed. This brief examines 2023 data to establish what is being advanced to minimize the projected osteoarthritis burden and why this topic remains of great import. Using the key word: Older adults and Osteoarthritis the PUBMED, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar were explored for current 2023 articles of relevance. These data, while not all encompassing, reveal there is an urgent need to go beyond downstream surgical and narcotic remedies for ameliorating osteoarthritis pain and towards upstream preventive approaches, including the parallel role of health literacy and exercise interventions and their adherence. However, multiple challenges clearly prevail in this latter regard that warrant ongoing attention.
Romania and EU standards, 1990–2022

European statistics provide a clear picture of Romania's dynamics in relation to European standards. The data use very relevant indicators for the diagnosis of the standard of living of the Romanian population in relation to other European countries: GDP per person, calculated at purchasing power (PPS). In 1990, for the former socialist countries, showed that they were at considerable distances from the standards of advanced European countries. The biggest gap was registered by: Romania, followed by Bulgaria and Poland and the smallest gap was recorded by the Czech Republic and Slovenia. The first 10 years of transition (2000) were extremely difficult for Romania and Bulgaria, which represents a massive impoverishment of the population. The Czech Republic also faced problems as a result of the process of separation from Slovakia. Slovenia was the country that achieved the smallest gap.The highest level of living standard, by GDP/inhabitant, is presented by the Czech Republic, Slovenia followed closely by Slovakia. Romania, after a dramatic decline in the 90s, later recorded an important increase, but still maintaining approximately half of the advanced European standard, from 30.9% to 52%.
