Rib variations are usually incidental findings on imaging studies and are rarely symptomatic. If in adequately evaluated they are easily overlooked as most of the X-ray is aimed at evaluating the lung parenchyma. Trauma related lesions might usually be misinterpreted as rib variations and sometimes rib lesions may mimic a variant of rib and radiologists should be familiar with a number of normal variants of the ribs to avoid mistaking them for an abnormality. In this article we will discuss and illustrate variety of anatomical rib variants and their incidence in this given population. Anatomical rib variants include developmental deformities, cervical rib, Bifid (forked), fused rib and hypertrophied transverse process of C7 be used. The aim of our study is to have a comprehensive evidence-based morphological assessment of normal anatomical variations of ribs and their prevalence in this population. A Retrospective study of Chest radiographs of 1000 adults who visited our hospital for a routine check-up or for various medical examinations from September 1st 2018 to September 30th 2018, were consecutively reviewed for normal variations of rib. In our study of 1000 radiographs (Male 652 and female 348), there are 10 cervical ribs, 5 bifid ribs, 16 cases of hypertrophied transverse process and 3 fused rib. Thus in conclusion, the knowledge of incidence of normal anatomical variations of ribs and their appearance in a given population is important for radiologist as it avoids any misinterpretation of these relatively normal variants and signals a possibility of neurovascular compression if clinically relevant.

Challenges to the Implementation of Sustainable Construction Practices in Libya
Authors: Khalil Aussama , Rathnasinghe Akila Pramodh , Kulatunga Udayangani
Published: September 2021

Sustainability is considered to be a central part of every global policy change because of the likelihood of negative effects of particular policies on the already endangered environment and on society. Whilst sustainability is receiving significant attention in construction sectors in developed countries, this seems to be less true for developing countries. Thus, this study explores the challenges faced by the construction sector in one such developing country, Libya, in integrating sustainability practices into its common scope of activities. The study adopted a mixed research approach consisting of a questionnaire survey and expert interviews. Completed questionnaires (134 No.) were analysed using statistical techniques. The findings from the survey informed the topics for the interviews with 10 experts where the collected data were analysed through content analysis. The outcomes of the research explained that the awareness of sustainability in construction was weak in the practice of the Libyan construction sector. Additionally, the failure of supporting institutions to create an effective application of sustainability guidelines, lack of stricter legislation, building codes or standards were also found to be major challenges. The study contributed to knowledge by providing a better understanding of sustainability and clarified the main challenges faced by the stakeholders and which they have to consider in order to improve sustainable construction in Libya. The practical implications of the study include the strategies identified to avoid or minimise the challenges and their consequences.
Influence of coarse aggregate on the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams
Authors:   , Jajbhay Hoosen Ahmed
Published: September 2021

Research to accurately predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement has been ongoing since the early 20th century. Aggregate interlock of the coarse aggregates at the shear crack interface is one of the internal mechanisms of shear transfer and a major contributor to the shear capacity of slender beams. It is plausible, therefore, to investigate if the coarse aggregate itself influences the shear capacity of a concrete beam. The influence of the type of coarse aggregate on the shear capacity of beams without shear reinforcement was investigated in this study. From the literature study an understanding of the properties of coarse aggregates was gained, the internal mechanisms of shear transfer in reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement were determined, and the parameters influencing shear strength were identified. Based on this information an experimental program was designed. Eighteen reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement were cast. The beams were cast from three different types of coarse aggregates commonly used in the Durban area, i.e., dolerite, quartzite and tillite. For each type of coarse aggregate two variations were tested, i.e., 13 mm and 19 mm maximum aggregate sizes. For each size of coarse aggregate, three concrete strengths were tested. The beams were loaded in a beam press, by applying an increasing point load offset from midspan to induce cracking on the shorter side, until shear failure of the beam occurred. For the three concrete strengths, beams cast from dolerite had the highest shear capacity while beams cast from tillite had less shear capacity than beams cast from quartzite coarse aggregate. Furthermore, beams cast from 13 mm maximum size coarse aggregate had higher shear capacity than beams cast from 19 mm aggregate. The conclusion may be drawn that the type and size of coarse aggregate does influence the shear strength of a reinforced concrete beam without shear reinforcement.

This study examined the relationship between FDI inflows and poverty reduction vis-à-vis Human Development Index in which majority of past studies have not fully explored in Nigeria. Data were extracted from secondary sources with application of ARDL and Bounds test technique. The major findings that came up in this study are as follows; FDI net inflows had an insignificant negative relationship with GDP per capita that measures welfare of the people in terms of the socio-economic benefits in Nigeria. Similarly, net FDI inflows had a negative but insignificant relationship with literacy rate, which measures welfare of the people in terms of educational attainment. Whereas, net FDI inflows had an insignificant positive relationship with life expectancy which measures welfare of the people in terms of health. Consequently, steaming from the principal findings that emerged in this work, the following recommendations are therefore made for the policy makers in Nigeria. When the Nigerian policy makers want to address poverty holistically in the country, the human development variables should be targeted. Also, policy measures that would stimulate FDI inflows into the country should be encouraged, and FDI inflows in the country should be utilized maximally in order to bring poverty reduction in the country in the short run.

Published: September 2021

This study inspects the job satisfaction level of academic staff at Rajshahi University, Bangladesh. Important factors that have an impact on job satisfaction levels are work itself, pay, promotion opportunities, supervision, and relationship with co-workers. A sample of 120 teachers is selected by convenient sampling from the nine faculties at Rajshahi University. With the support of SPSS, factor analysis, Co-relation, and regression tests are conducted to generate results. Through the statistical analysis, it is found that teachers are more satisfied with work itself, relationship with co-workers, and they are less satisfied with the pay structure, promotion opportunities, and supervision. Thus findings recommend that boosting the work facilities and ensuring the smooth and cooperative relationship with co-workers could be helpful tools in motivating faculty members and subsequently get attached with their work.

Scientific discourse modeling: a semiotic view
Authors: Claro Marcus Vinicius dos Santos
Published: September 2021

Once introduced the semiotic concept of discourse we aim to develop a discussion about the process of constructing the scientific discourse, that is, the modeling process of scientific law declarations through linguistics texts, whereas a imposed enunciation. For that, we distinguish three basic components:1. Intention, which is a motivation, animpulse for the discourse generation; 2. Enunciation, which express the scientific text itself; and 3. Legislation,which assumes a law enunciation. All this is established in order to assume a discourse of truth, including the correspondence with mathematical proofs. So, we characterize the symbolic manipulation of self evidence empirical facts which are reflected into the enunciations by a law format.

Published: September 2021

The problem of adhesion after surgical diseases on the abdominal organs remains extremely relevant despite the rapid development of new medical technologies and approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of surgical diseases. The formation of adhesions occurs during open surgical interventions and will differ only in the degree of severity and clinical manifestations. The article is devoted to the study of oxygenation of the peritoneal tissue in experimental adhesions of the abdominal cavity. Experimental studies were carried out on 95 outbred guinea pigs with simulated adhesive disease of the abdominal cavity. As a result of performing direct oximetry on the surface of the peritoneum in conditions of modeling adhesions of the abdominal cavity in laboratory animals, it was revealed that any of the models causes, to a greater or lesser degree, hypoxic changes in the peritoneum, thereby creating favorable conditions for the maturation of coarse-fibrous connective tissue. The impact on the peritoneum of any of the modeling factors caused a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the intestinal wall by an average of 45%. The leveling of hypoxic changes on the surface of the peritoneum in the postoperative period is a method of preventing adhesions of the abdominal cavity.
TETRALOGY OF FALLOT – «OLD» CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT IN THE XXI CENTURY – UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS OF STAGE-BY-STAGE SURGICAL CORRECTION
Authors:   Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Pediatric Surgery, Charnahlaz P.F.
Published: September 2021

Despite the fact that the defect has been known for a long time and methods of surgical correction have been developed that allow achieving excellent immediate and long-term results, the tactical issues of stage-by-stage correction of the defect in situations where primary radical correction is impossible due to such reasons as a severe initial condition, low weight of the patient, underdevelopment of the branches of the pulmonary artery (PA) have not yet been fully resolved. In addition to classical Blalock-Taussig intersystem anastomoses, such endovascular techniques of maintaining pulmonary blood flow as stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and stenting of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are being introduced into clinical practice. These techniques, with all the advantages of minimally invasive technologies in certain clinical and anatomical situations, are not inferior, and in most cases surpass classical surgical techniques.
Technical note: Interpretation of ﬁeld observations of point-source methane plume using observation-driven large-eddy simulations

Published: September 2021

Abstract. This study demonstrates the ability of large-eddy simulation (LES) forced by a large-scale model to reproduce plume dispersion in an actual field campaign. Our aim is to bring together field observations taken under non-ideal conditions and LES to show that this combination can help to derive point source strengths from sparse observations. We prepared a one-day case study based on data collected near an oil well during the ROMEO campaign (ROmanian Methane Emissions from Oil and gas) that took place in October 2019. We set up our LES using boundary conditions derived from the meteorological reanalysis ERA5 and released a point source in line with the configuration in the field. The weather conditions produced by the LES show close agreement with field observations, although the observed wind field showed complex features due to the absence of synoptic forcing. In order to align the plume direction with field observations, we created a second simulation experiment with manipulated wind fields. The estimated source strengths using the LES plume agrees well with the emitted artificial tracer gas plume, indicating the suitability of LES to infer source strengths from observations under complex conditions. To further harvest the added value of LES, higher order statistical moments of the simulated plume were analysed. Here, we found good agreement with plumes from previous LES and laboratory experiments in channel flows. We derived a length scale of plume mixing from the boundary layer height, the mean wind speed and convective velocity scale. It was demonstrated that this length scale represents the distance from the source at which the predominant plume behaviour transfers from meandering dispersion to relative dispersion.
Potential effect of wetting agents added to agricultural sprays on the stability of soil aggregates

Published: September 2021

Abstract. The presented research deals with the issue of the potential effect of adjuvants/wetting agents (WA) added to the spray mixture for stability of soil aggregates (SAS) in agricultural soil. Nine localities were chosen in the Czech Republic. Each locality was mapped using soil pits (depth min. 1.4 m). A total of 54 mixed samples were collected from the topsoil horizon in the selected localities. The samples were exposed to the action of four different types of wetting agents (organosilicone wetting agent; methyl ester of rapeseed oil; mixture of methyl ester palmitic and oleic acids; Isodecyl alcohol ethoxylate). SAS was determined before and after the addition of WA. Average values of SAS across the sampling point exhibited a demonstrable trend: the SAS value of control sample (without WA application) was at all times higher than in samples with the addition of WA (organosilicone wetting agent; mixture of methyl ester palmitic and oleic acids; Isodecyl alcohol ethoxylate), on average by more than 15 %. If the measured SAS values are compared in terms of overall means, it is obvious that the control variant always exhibited the highest SAS value (44.04 %) and the variants with the application of WA showed always SAS values lower by min. 16 %. All soil samples were also analysed for basic soil parameters (glomalin, Cox, pH, Na, P, Ca, K, Mg) in order to determine their potential influence on SAS and a possible elimination of the negative impact of WA. In this respect, only a significant influence of Cox content on SAS was recorded, which positively correlated with SAS.

Una perspectiva global de las fiestas en honor a Rosa de Lima en el mundo hispano del siglo XVII
Authors: Ojeda Corzo Ramón
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo reforzar el estudio del catolicismo global moderno, observado como un poder ideológico, con pretensiones de alcanzar una uniformidad cultural a lo largo del imperio hispánico. Para ello, se han analizado las múltiples fiestas de beatificación y canonización de Rosa de Lima, desarrolladas entre 1668 y 1671, desde una perspectiva global. La clave del análisis reside en observar la circulación y movilidad, tanto humana como material, que permitieron la expansión de una devoción criolla limeña y el desarrollo exitoso de las respectivas ceremonias, en el orbe católico del siglo XVII.

Authors: Migliucci Dario
Published: September 2021

Durante el periodo de entreguerras se difundió en los Estados Unidos una profunda inquietud por las actividades de manipulación de la opinión pública. Ante la imposibilidad de aplicar medidas coercitivas concretas –ya que hubiesen sido inconstitucionales– el Congreso emprendió numerosas investigaciones legislativas sobre la labor propagandística de grupos subversivos, corporaciones privadas y agencias gubernamentales. El presente trabajo pretende reconstruir el clima en el que dichos comités fueron instituidos, analizando la forma en la que las ansiedades populares de aquel periodo influyeron en su modus operandi y en los resultados que presentaron ante las cámaras legislativas y los medios de comunicación.

Intellektuális képességzavart mutató személyek jogainak támogatását befolyásoló tényezők
Authors: Horváth Sára , Hadarics Márton
Published: September 2021

Háttér és célok: Kutatásunkban a Fogyatékossággal élő személyek jogairól szóló ENSZ Egyezmény alapján az intellektuális képességzavart mutató személyek számára biztosítandó jogokkal (lakáskörülmények megválasztása, házasságkötés, munkavállalás, integrált oktatás, gyermekvállalás, örökbefogadás, politikai részvétel) kapcsolatos attitűdöket vizsgáltuk. Arra kerestük a választ, hogy fellelhető-e együttjárás az egyes jogok között, illetve milyen szociálpszichológiai konstruktumok lehetnek a jogok elutasításának hátterében.

Módszer: A szociális dominancia orientáció (SDO), a jobboldali tekintélyelvűség (RWA), illetve a sajnálat csoportközi érzelmének hatását vizsgáltuk online kérdőíves módszerrel.

Eredmények: A jogok együttjárását feltáró faktoranalízissel vizsgáltuk, mely során két faktor rajzolódott ki, az elsőbe a nagyobb támogatottságot élvező, inkább szorosan az intellektuális képességzavart mutató személyt érintő, míg a másodikba a kevésbé támogatott, a többségi társadalomra nagyobb hatást gyakorló jogok tartoztak. A lineáris regresszió alapján az SDO és az RWA (részben) szignifikáns összefüggést mutatott a jogok elutasításával. Érdekes jelenséget mutatott a sajnálat csoportközi érzelmének beemelése, mely további vizsgálatot igényel.

Következtetések: A kutatás eredményei hasznos kiindulópontot adhatnak, hogy jobban megértsük, milyen folyamatok állnak az IKZ-t mutató emberek társadalmi részvételének elutasítása mögött. A kapott információk segíthetnek az IKZ-t mutató személyek inklúzióját támogató szemléletformáló programok javításában.

Kulcsszavak: SDO, RWA, intellektuális képességzavar, sajnálat, jogok

Commentary: Does Twitter have a role in Family Planning in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)?
Authors: Harrison Denise , Ramarao Saumya , Vijeyakumar Dinesh , McKinnon James , Brown Kristina , Mierzwa Stanley John
Published: September 2021

Stakeholders are coming together to develop a vision for increasing access to family planning (FP) by 2030.  Of the 923 million women in the developing world who wish to avoid a pregnancy, 218 million women are not using a modern contraceptive (Guttmacher Institute, 2020).  In 2016, over 3.4 billion people were using the internet (https://ourworldindata.org/internet 2016). Moreover, internet users in the developing world use social media more frequently than Internet users in the U.S. and Europe. Of the many proposed actions to accelerate progress in family planning, the use of Twitter should be a key component. 

 

In this commentary, we describe the use of Twitter in a select group of low-and-middle-income countries that have made commitments to the family planning 2020 initiative (FP2020 countries, and have the potential to leverage Twitter with current and potential family planning users. We examine Twitter feeds in eight key FP2020 countries, and we look at the content of Tweets issued by the ministries of health in most of these same countries.

 

Our view is that it is feasible and easy to access Twitter feeds in low and middle income countries. We base our view on the types of reproductive health and family planning terms discussed in a public forum

such as Twitter by current and potential users and their partners and ministries of health. We highlight

two broad considerations that merit discussion among interested stakeholders, including policy makers,

program designers, and health advocates. The first relates to the use of Twitter within family planning

programs, and the second relates to themes that require more significant research. Data coupled with

analytical capacity will help policy makers and program designers to effectively leverage Twitter for

expanding the reach of family planning services and influencing social media policy. Our aim is to not

only to contribute to the body of knowledge but also to spur greater engagement by program personnel,

researchers, health advocates and contraceptive users.

Noticias RCN y Caracol Noticias: La construcción discursiva de la protesta en Colombia vs. la protesta en Venezuela
Authors: Pérez Bonfante Federico , Uribe Metrio Ovet
Published: September 2021

En tiempos de episodios de público conocimiento de censura y de parcialización de la prensa en el mundo, con sonados casos en Colombia, en este artículo se da cuenta, parcialmente, de una investigación que tiene por objetivo llevar a cabo un análisis comparado de la construcción discursiva de Noticias RCN y de Caracol Noticias en relación con la minga social e indígena del año 2019 en Colombia, versus la pretensión de ingreso a Venezuela de la llamada “ayuda humanitaria” liderada por los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, también en 2019. Para alcanzar este objetivo se apeló al análisis crítico del discurso y a la teoría de la valoración, puntualmente en lo concerniente al subsistema de compromiso. Esta ha sido una investigación con enfoque cualitativo, con la cual se han arrojado luces sobre las formas de hacer periodismo, de cara a perfeccionar este ejercicio profesional, para el fortalecimiento de una sociedad democrática.
Imaginarios y planificación urbana. Encuentros y desencuentros entre los habitantes del oriente de Cali - Colombia y el proceso de ordenamiento territorial
Authors: Ladino Mosquera Vivian Andrea
Published: September 2021

El presente escrito da cuenta de los imaginarios sobre planificación urbana que tienen los habitantes del oriente de Cali, una zona caracterizada por la segregación socioespacial, el poblamiento informal, altos índices de vulnerabilidad social y necesidades básicas insatisfechas. El objetivo se centró en establecer la relación entre las imágenes que crean sobre el espacio los habitantes de esta zona de la ciudad con el proceso de planificación. Las fuentes de información que se utilizan en el texto son producto de una metodología cualitativa que incluyó técnicas como las entrevistas semiestructuradas, la observación participante y la revisión documental. El análisis permitió identificar que, a pesar de la participación en el nivel informativo de algunos de los habitantes en la implementación del ordenamiento, esta relación no implica ser tenidos en cuenta en los cambios socioespaciales de la ciudad.
Realidades, avances y retos de la ERE
Authors: Serna Collazos Victor Hugo
Published: September 2021

La Educación Religiosa Escolar (ERE), en la Ley General de Educación colombiana de 1994, es una de las áreas obligatorias en los procesos de formación integral de los ciudadanos, donde por disposiciones constitucionales sobre temas de libertad religiosa y de cultos y por parte del Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN) se ha tenido que pensar su naturaleza, su lugar y su implementación en el aula. Dichas exigencias han sido motivo de investigación por académicos, quienes han buscado consolidar la ERE como una disciplina que aporta a los fines de la educación en el país y no de manera confesional, en donde se brinde sentido de vida, compromiso por el otro y por lo trascendental. Además, se reconoce el aporte de la Iglesia Católica al desarrollo de la educación religiosa en Colombia y cómo ha de ser la actitud de los creyentes ante los nuevos retos en esta área.

Relevance: Esophageal cancer ranks eighth in the structure of malignant tumors in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

According to the Kazakh Institute of Oncology and Radiology, in 2018, 1225 were primarily registered with esophageal

cancer, and 825 patients died from this disease.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the esophageal cancer incidence and mortality among the population

of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2009-2018 and determine

the cancer service efficacy.

Results: The analysis of intensive indicators of esophageal cancer incidence showed a decrease in the number of

primary cases from 8.2‰ in 2009 to 6.7‰ in 2018, and

the mortality – from 6.9‰ to 3.8‰. The share of early

detection (Stage I-II) has increased by 38.2% since 2009 to

reach 52.1% in 2018. The share of stage IV esophageal cancer

has decreased from 7.2% in 2009 to 5.8% in 2018. One-year

mortality has decreased by 14.7% since 2009 to reach 41.2%

in 2018, which speaks of the improvements in the timely diagnosis of esophageal cancer. The number of patients who

received radical comprehensive treatment has increased by

8.6% to reach 32.2% in 2018. The number of patients who

received surgical treatment in 2009-2018 remained almost

at the same level and amounted to 18.9 and 18.0%, respectively. However, during the years of screening for esophageal

cancer, the proportion of surgical treatment has increased

from 26.6% to 30.4%. The ratio of incidence to mortality has

decreased from 91.4% to 68.8% in the study period indicating an improvement in the level of cancer service in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Conclusion: The analysis of intensive indicators of

esophageal cancer incidence showed a decrease in primary

incidence. The screening conducted in 2013-2016 has shown

an improvement in early detection of esophageal cancer

(stages I-II) and a decrease in the share of the advanced

stage. The findings of this study shall serve as the basis for

planning anti-cancer activities

Relevance: Melanoma is one of the most aggressive

and unpredictable tumors. Melanoma most often affects

the skin. Over the past 50 years, the incidence of melanoma in the world has been overgrowing, with the highest

rates among fair-skinned people and in the regions with

lower latitude. The incidence is higher among older adults

but is also one of the common forms of cancer among

young people. Melanoma incidence and mortality depend on gender, age, ethnicity, as well as on the region of

residence.

The purpose of the study was to assess the skin

melanoma epidemiology in the world and Kazakhstan

in 2018.

Results: Melanoma incidence was growing throughout the world during the past decades, with an annual

incidence of 4-6%. Melanoma incidence is expected to

reach 450,000 cases per year in the next two decades.

Kazakhstan has experienced an increase in melanoma

incidence by 63% over the past ten years. Females made

61% of cases. The incidence remained high in the East Kazakhstan region and the cities of Almaty and Karaganda.

High mortality was registered in North Kazakhstan, East

Kazakhstan, and Pavlodar regions, and the city of Almaty.

Since 2009, the five-year survival with melanoma in the

Republic of Kazakhstan has decreased by 2.2%.

Conclusion: Melanoma morbidity and mortality

is growing worldwide. Even though its incidence is below one-tenths of other types of skin cancer, the ability

of melanoma to quickly metastasize and affect young

adults makes this disease as a serious social problem.

It is necessary to improve the methods of primary,

secondary, and tertiary prevention of melanoma aimed

at identifying individuals at high risk of tumor development and optimize the methods of its early diagnostics

and definition of the risk of metastasis.
Multiple Primary Thyroid Cancer
in combination with Malignant
Paraganglioma of the Neck
complicated by Acute Cerebrovascular
Event in the Postoperative Period:
Clinical Case

Published: September 2021

Actuality: Paraganglioma originates from the nerve

ganglia along a.carotis, the ganglion of n.vagus, and the

nerve plexuses around the sigmoid sinus, and has a rich

tumor vasculature. Paraganglioma accounts for 0.8% of all

CNS tumors and occurs most often at 40-60 years. Chemodectoma is located in the common carotid artery bifurcation zone and accounts for 2/3 of all glomus tumors.

Purpose: The article describes a clinical case of multiple primary thyroid cancer in combination with malignant

paraganglioma of the neck complicated by acute cerebrovascular event (ACE) in the postoperative period treated at

the Head and Neck Tumor Center of the Kazakh Institute of

Oncology and Radiology.

Results: The presented clinical case demonstrates the

results of the treatment of multiple primary cancer complicated by an ACE in the postoperative period. The qualification of doctors, adequate diagnostics contributed to choosing the right ACE treatment tactics taking into account all

the patient-specific features, the tumor localization, and

possible postoperative complications.

Conclusion: The presented clinical case confirms the

available data on the necessity of all diagnostic procedures

and their effectiveness in the assessment of the prevalence

of the process and the involvement of the adjacent anatomical structures in the suspected chemodectoma to avoid

postoperative consequences that can lead to disability and

fatal outcome. A wrong choice of the volume of surgical intervention can result in severe postoperative complications.

Timely diagnosis and knowledge of the clinical course of the

ACE helped restore the patient’s general condition and stop

signs of cerebral ischemia. Successful recovery of a patient

depends on the qualifications of the doctors and the prevalence of the tumor process. Adequate symptomatic therapy

has a huge impact on the course of a complicated postoperative period.

Relevance: Patients with advanced malignant neoplasms

require constant monitoring and care. Mobile palliative care

(PC) is one of the modern humanistic methods of supporting

terminal cancer patients, as well as their relatives.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the demand

and satisfaction of the population with in-home PC services

for cancer patients provided by mobile teams in Almaty.

Results: According to WHO, the number of people who

need PС services at the end of life is 20.4 million, of whom 94%

are adults (69% are over 60 years, 25% are at the age of 15 to

59), and 6% are children. 34% of patients dying from cancer

need PC services at the end of life. 80% of people in need of

PC services live in lower-middle-income countries. At the end

of 2018, the total number of palliative beds deployed in the

Republic of Kazakhstan amounted to 415 (vs. 373 in 2017).

Conclusion: Given the practical relevance and topicality,

there is an urgent need to develop evidence-based recommendations for optimizing the provision of PC services, as well

as improving the quality of life of cancer patients
