Published: October 2023

An important task for Ukrainian foresters is to adapt forests to climate change and ensure sustainable forest management. One key measure for achieving this goal is the natural regeneration of tree species, which contributes to the biological resilience of forest stands. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of different methods of main use fellings on the natural regeneration process of tree species in oak forests. The study was conducted within the territory of the Stradch Forestry Educational and Production Complex of the Ukrainian National Forestry University. Data on the quantity and height of oak seedlings and saplings, and other tree species, were collected through observation after various methods of main use fellings were applied in oak forests. An analytical method was applied to detect patterns and differences in quantitative and qualitative indicators of young trees of different species in sample plots. Statistical data analysis was employed to establish relationships and draw conclusions based on numerical data. Different success rates of natural regeneration of tree species were identified on plots subjected to various methods of main use fellings. Positive dynamics in the quantity of seedlings and saplings were observed due to first intervention of the uniform shelterwood felling, ranging from unsatisfactory to good levels. It is recognised that the distribution of seedlings and saplings of all tree species was uneven across the area. Hornbeam has the highest frequency of occurrence – 75.6%. Tree species like Scots pine, European birch, and goat willow exhibited occurrence frequencies ranging from 30.8% to 39.7%. In general, in all the studied areas, the undergrowth of tree species was dominated by a small fraction up to 20 cm of height. To ensure the prevalence of pedunculate oak in naturally formed young stands, silvicultural care for its saplings is necessary on all plots. The obtained results provide a basis for developing scientifically grounded forest management measures aimed at increasing the quantity and quality of valuable tree species’ saplings, particularly pedunculate oak

Authors: Goel Palak , Kotia Anshu S.S. , Kumar Anil , Bana Mona , Meena Reena , Singh Tarun
Published: October 2023

Background: The efficacy of pregabalin in acute post-surgical pain management is well demonstrated. As, the use of pregabalin is officially not approved and hence, there is no dosing guideline as well.
Aim: To determine whether single preoperative administration of different doses of pregabalin (150 mg to 300mg) could decrease postoperative pain intensity following spinal surgery.
Materials and Method: In this prospective, randomized double-blinded study, a total 60 patients undergoing spinal surgery were selected and randomly assigned any of these four groups of 15 each; group A (received placebo drug), group B (received pregabalin 150mg), group C (received pregabalin 200mg) and group D (received pregabalin 300mg). All the groups received the said drugs (coded as it was double-blinded study) in the same manner and two hours prior to operation. The patients were followed for pain scores on visual analogue scale (VAS), time to rescue analgesia and side effects as secondary outcomes.
Results: Patients in pregabalin dose ranging group had lower pain in the initial hour of recovery. However, the pain scores subsequently decreased and became similar in all groups. Time for the requirement for analgesic was longer in pregabalin 300mg group when compared with other study groups.
Conclusion: A single dose of 300 mg pregabalin given 1–2 hours prior to surgery is superior to placebo after spinal surgery.

Abstract. In the world, there is an unequity between the prevalence of bronchial asthma (BA) and the level of medical care provided to patients. While significant progress has been made in the treatment of asthma in high-income countries, the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality from asthma is in low- and middle-income countries. This problem became the theme of World Asthma Day 2023. The aim: to study the peculiarities of the organization of the asthma patients treatment in low- and middle-income countries, including Ukraine. Materials and methods. National and international guidelines, as well as scientific articles on asthma management in low- and middle-income countries were analyzed according to the literature data. Results. Underdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of asthma are global problems in countries with limited resources. Challenges include the lack of asthma management guidelines and strategies at national levels, the lack of competent respiratory care professionals, and the lack or unavailability of necessary medications. Adapted for regions with limited resources, international guidelines for the management of asthma, offering a narrow choice of therapeutic approaches, cannot be implemented in some places due to the unavailability or high cost of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Obstacles in the way of providing medical care to patients with BA are cultural and religious features and in some places low literacy of the population. As for Ukraine, despite the status of a lower middle-income country, our health care system has adequate resources for the full treatment of the majority of BA patients. World Asthma Day’s efforts are aimed at drawing attention to the needs of people with asthma around the world, including those in low-income countries. An important aspect of this effort is to ensure that all patients with asthma, wherever they are, are treated and provided with care that meets the basic quality standard as outlined in the GINA Global Initiative for Asthma strategy. Conclusions. There is currently a global disparity in asthma patients’ access to appropriate treatment due to resource constraints, resulting in children, adolescents and adults suffering from severe and avoidable outcomes. International organizations contribute to the solution of this problem with various measures, one of which was Asthma Day 2023. Key words: World Asthma Day, asthma management, low- and middle-income countries.

Published: October 2023

İnsanlar dahil olmak üzere tüm hayvanların sahip olduğu temel bir beceri, çevredeki diğer canlıların hareket ve eylemlerini algılama ve tanıma yeteneğidir. Günümüze kadar yapılan nörofizyolojik ve nörogörüntüleme çalışmaları, çevremizdeki diğer canlıların eylemlerini algılamak için önemli ve gerekli olan beyin bölgelerini büyük ölçüde tanımlamıştır. Ancak bu çalışmaların büyük bir çoğunluğu, eylemlerin algılanmasını seçici dikkat görevleri altında incelemiştir. Başka bir deyişle, bu çalışmalarda insan eylemlerini gösteren uyaranlar dikkatin odağı olmuş ve katılımcılar izledikleri hareket ve eylemlerle ilgili görevler yapmışlardır. Ancak günlük yaşamda, dikkatimizin odağı olmayan insan hareketleri de sosyal ya da hayati önemlerinden dolayı dikkatimizi çekebilirler ve seçici dikkat dışında otomatik olarak algılanabilirler. Bu derleme makalede, insan hareketlerinin dikkatin odağı olmadığı durumlarda beyin tarafından nasıl işlendiğini inceleyen çalışmalar ele alınmış ve alandaki yeni bilimsel sorulara ışık tutulmuştur. Bu sorular arasında, insan hareketlerinin dikkatin odağı olmadığında nasıl işleneceğinin zamansal boyutları, farklı insan hareketlerinin farklı dikkat çekme kapasitelerine sahip olup olmadıkları, ekolojik geçerlilikleri yüksek doğal düzeneklerde yapılan insan hareketi çalışmalarının laboratuvar ortamında yapılan çalışmalardan farklı sonuçlar doğurup doğurmadığı ve insan hareketlerini algılamada güçlük yaşayan klinik popülasyonlarda dikkat süreçleri de dikkate alındığında ne gibi tablolar çıkacağı soruları yer almaktadır.

Homogenization of distributive optimal control problem governed by Stokes system in an oscillating domain
Authors: Garg Swati , Sardar Bidhan Chandra
Published: October 2023

The present article deals with the homogenization of a distributive optimal control problem (OCP) subjected to the more generalized stationary Stokes equation involving unidirectional oscillating coefficients posed in a two-dimensional oscillating domain. The cost functional considered is of the Dirichlet type involving a unidirectional oscillating coefficient matrix. We characterize the optimal control and study the homogenization of this OCP with the aid of the unfolding operator. Due to the presence of oscillating matrices both in the governing Stokes equations and the cost functional, one obtains the limit OCP involving a perturbed tensor in the convergence analysis.

Breast cancer is the most incidental and deadly neoplasm worldwide; in Mexico, very few epidemiologic reports have analyzed the pathological features and its impact on their clinical outcome. Here, we studied the relation between pathological features and the clinical presentation at diagnosis and their impact on the overall and progression-free survival of patients with breast cancer. For this purpose, we collected 199 clinical records of female patients, aged at least 18 years old (y/o), with breast cancer diagnosis confirmed by biopsy. We excluded patients with incomplete or conflicting clinical records. Afterward, we performed an analysis of overall and progression-free survival and associated risks. Our results showed an average age at diagnosis of 52 y/o (24–85), the most common features were: upper outer quadrant tumor (32%), invasive ductal carcinoma (76.8%), moderately differentiated (44.3%), early clinical stages (40.8%), asymptomatic patients (47.8%), luminal A subtype (47.8%). Median overall survival was not reached, but median progression-free survival was 32.2 months (29.75–34.64, CI 95%) associated risk were: clinical stage (p < 0.0001) symptomatic presentation (p = 0.009) and histologic grade (p = 0.02). Therefore, we concluded that symptom presence at diagnosis impacts progression-free survival, and palpable symptoms are related to an increased risk for mortality.
Plant-based diets: obesity prejudice and body self-perception relations in young females
Authors: Kargar Aylar , Kızıltan Gül
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

In recent years, plant-based diets and their effects on health have gained attention. This diet has become a preferred dietary style for managing obesity. Weight gain is influenced by various factors, such as low body image perception and obesity prejudice.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of plant-based diets among female students and their associations with obesity prejudice and body self-perception.

METHODS:

The research was conducted with 450 female university students. The anthropometric measurements were obtained based on self-reporting. the GAMS-27 Obesity Prejudice Scale and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relationship Questionnaire (MBSRQ) were applied to evaluate obesity prejudice and body self-perception, respectively.

RESULTS:

The study found no significant differences in anthropometric measurements between omnivores and vegetarians ( p > 0.05). However, 78.6% of the students showed some level of tendency toward prejudice or prejudice against obesity. There was no significant relationship between body weight, BMI, and obesity prejudice in both dietary groups ( p > 0.05). Yet, vegetarians had significantly lower mean scores on the MBRSQ, indicating body image dissatisfaction ( p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:

While the anthropometric measurement and prejudice against obesity did not yield notable results, significantly lower scores on the MBSRQ indicated greater dissatisfaction with body image in vegetarians.
Sfarti's Reply to Dingle's Clock Puzzle “Disproof”
Authors: Derbes David
Published: October 2023

In a recent article,1 Sfarti provided a simple disproof of Dingle's objection to relativity. The crux of Dingle's objection turns out to be based on Dingle's misunderstanding of synchronization, and perhaps in his inability to accept that his view of the circumstances might not be correct. This paper attempts to expand Sfarti's praiseworthy efforts to dispense with Dingle's misguided notion that relativity is incorrect. In this author's opinion, there are minor issues with Sfarti's response, but its major points, that Dingle did not properly consider intervals of time, and that his conclusion is wrong, are correct. This response discusses where Dingle went wrong, and addresses the minor issues in Sfarti's paper, after a separate refutation of Dingle's argument.

Shopee, a marketplace application with a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) concept, has emerged as a dominant player in the Thai e-commerce market. It provides a safe and practical platform for buying and selling a wide range of products, including fashion, gadgets, cosmetics, electronics, home appliances, and shopping vouchers, catering to various daily needs. This research delves into the factors that influence individuals' choices when shopping via Shopee for people living in Bangkok, Thailand. The study focuses on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, promotion, and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) as key determinants shaping users' intentions. Employing a quantitative methodology, the primary data collection method involved the distribution of questionnaires to a sample comprising 400 active users of Shopee. Convenience sampling was utilized to select participants. The study rigorously tested hypotheses and conducted detailed data analysis using analytical software and statistical techniques. The analysis demonstrated that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and electronic word of mouth exert significant influences on users' intentions to shop via Shopee with robust statistical support. Conversely, the impact of promotions did not achieve statistical significance. These results offer valuable insights for researchers and practitioners seeking to improve their strategies on the Shopee platform.
Analysing crimes in public spaces of New Delhi through news reports: The need and possibility of integrating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design Principles.
Authors: Garg Prarthana , Singh Raja
Published: October 2023

Delhi has crime in public spaces that must be addressed using a multi-disciplinary approach. In this research study, we investigate the need and possibility of integrating Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles into the built environment for crime reduction in New Delhi. By analyzing 100 criminal activity records from New Delhi's public spaces, from 2017 to 2023, sourced from news websites, we categorized incidents based on CPTED's four principles: surveillance, access control, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance. Remarkably, our findings reveal that an overwhelming 91% of the analyzed crimes were either facilitated or influenced by elements of the built environment. Notably, a predominant factor contributing to criminal incidents was the absence of natural surveillance measures. This study underscores the critical role of urban design in shaping crime patterns and advocates for a comprehensive integration of CPTED principles to foster safer and more secure urban spaces in New Delhi.

To increase the digestibility and digestibility of feed, stimulate the growth and development of animals, and increase nonspecific immunity, enzyme, probiotic, prebiotic and combined enzyme-probiotic preparations, as well as complex probiotic preparations enriched with phytocomponents are used. Probiotics for artificially grown fish are beneficial bacteria and live microbiological additives that are traditionally added to agricultural aquaculture systems to maintain health, productivity and growth. Therefore, a promising direction in aquaculture is the use of feed with probiotic cultures. The use of probiotics is associated with solving various health problems, in particular, with increasing the efficiency of digestion and stimulating growth and development. Probiotics, having a positive effect on the host’s body, contribute to the restoration of digestion, biological status, and immune response and increase the effectiveness of vaccination. The use of probiotics significantly reduces the cost of treating diseases in animals, increases productivity and improves product quality. In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the use of various probiotics in fishing. This review is aimed at generalizing the topic of the possible use of gram-positive bacteria as probiotics in a comprehensive study of the existing literature. With the expansion of ideas about the biological effectiveness of probiotics and the proof that the structural elements of cells and their metabolites are at least effective in some cases. As a result, various types of bacteria, including bacilli, lactic acid bacteria, and microbes, were used to improve the growth and immunity of various fish. However, this study conducted a review of the scientific literature showing that probiotics in aquaculture have a positive effect on the overall productivity of fish.

Authors: Souza Ana Carolina Oliveira de , Castro Joely Zelinda Menezes , Meira Gabriela de Figueiredo , Rego Jessica Tuane Maia
Published: October 2023

Las disfunciones de la glándula tiroides, en particular el hipertiroidismo y el hipotiroidismo, pueden causar alteraciones sistémicas como hipertensión, ansiedad y cambios óseos, así como manifestaciones bucales como alteración salival, aumento de la enfermedad periodontal y caries dental. Es de suma importancia que el cirujano dentista esté atento a estos cambios, teniendo en cuenta que un paciente descompensado no puede ser tratado y que los medicamentos también pueden interferir en la microbiota oral, respetando así las limitaciones de cada paciente. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la influencia del hipertiroidismo y el hipotiroidismo en la cavidad oral a través de una revisión de la literatura entre los años 2018 a 2023. Se seleccionaron artículos, monografías, tesis, libros y sitios web que abordaran la correlación entre las disfunciones tiroideas y la odontología. Se leyeron íntegramente las 30 referencias encontradas, pero solo 26 correspondían realmente al tema propuesto. Conclusión: el cirujano dentista es uno de los profesionales capaces de identificar los primeros signos y síntomas de la enfermedad, por lo que una buena anamnesis es imprescindible. Se necesitan más estudios sobre este tema para consolidar los resultados encontrados en la literatura.

Authors:   Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A.S. Makarenko, Bilan Anna
Published: October 2023

The educational sphere is a factor in the formation of a modern information society and a key element of the system of providing resources for social production. This explains why one of the most important areas of state policy implementation is the creation of conditions for meeting the educational and socio-economic needs of the population, the implementation of a qualitative impact on human potential as the main factor in the socio-economic development of the region, and the optimization of expenditures from budgets of various levels. The article analyzes the organizational and economic principles of providing conditions for the provision of educational services to residents of settlements regardless of the type of territory and level of economic development, outlines ways to increase the level of development of the field of educational services, ensure the effective distribution of financial and other resources depending on the needs of one or another community. The expediency of using an individual approach, which involves taking into account territorial features, available resources of a separate territorial community, which can ensure the conditions of its socio-economic development, as a result – the development of certain branches of social life, is determined. The possibility of solving the issues of education availability and meeting the socio-economic needs of the population of rural and urban areas by creating technical and technological support locations within territorial communities is substantiated. The functioning of technical and technological support locations is the implementation of an organizational and economic approach that is justified and appropriate for implementation at the level of territorial communities. In order to reflect the main aspects of the functioning of locations and their development prospects in terms of minimizing costs from local budgets, their resource provision and functional purpose are reflected. The development of a territorial community depends not only on the presence of a developed social infrastructure, but also on the ability of the community to carry out effective management, take into account the interests of all interested parties to determine the ways of its development and find effective forms of their interaction.

The aspects of uncertainty and complexity in which Ukrainian enterprises are forced to operate due to a full-scale military attack on the territory of Ukraine by a neighboring country are specified. The need for Ukrainian enterprises to specify the conditions for preserving and increasing their innovation and investment potential is substantiated, which should become a solid basis for long-term development in the post-war period. The main trends that are observed in the scientific field of Ukraine in the field of preservation and development of the innovation and investment potential of domestic business entities are analyzed. The reasons have been proven that should stimulate the management of modern enterprises to increase their own innovation and investment potential (increasing the competitiveness of the enterprise in the market; improving the reputation and strengthening the brand of enterprises in the market; increasing demand for products, sales volumes and income of the enterprise; increasing the attractiveness of the enterprise for investors; modernization production and increasing the professional competence of personnel, creating new jobs and increasing employment in the region, etc. The characteristics of innovation and investment activity and the corresponding potential of enterprises in Ukraine are given. The legislative and regulatory framework regulating the innovation and investment activity of enterprises in Ukraine is analyzed. Defined problematic aspects that reduce the possibilities for developing the innovative and investment potential of enterprises in Ukraine. Priority measures are proposed that will create favorable conditions for the innovative development of domestic enterprises in the post-war period. Such measures included the development of a mechanism for the practical implementation of incentive tools for enhancing the innovative development of an enterprise, declared in the regulatory framework of Ukraine; ensuring transparency and accessibility of information about investment opportunities; stimulation of scientific research at the state level; provision of preferential loans and grants for the implementation of innovative projects; implementation of a system of continuous professional development of personnel and search and development of talents at the enterprise.

У статті розглянуто загальні аспекти використання цифрових технологій у сфері діяльності аграрних підприємств. Відзначено, що інформаційні технології стають важливим каталізатором прогресу у сільському господарстві, формуючи єдину цифрову модель аграрного підприємства. Ця модель включає інтеграцію управлінської системи, організаційно-економічних відносин, технічних засобів та програмного забезпечення. Підкреслено, що створення системи інформаційної підтримки агровиробників на основі сучасних комп’ютерних та мобільних технологій потребує повної цифровізації сільськогосподарських підприємств та сільських територій, підвищення кваліфікації сільськогосподарських працівників, створення системної бази даних і формування єдиного інформаційного простору агробізнесу. Акцентується увага на тому, що завдяки діджиталізації бізнес-процесів аграрних підприємств відбувається їх оптимізація та зниження витрат матеріально-технічних та інших ресурсів, систематизація та групування даних. Це також сприяє ефективному накопиченню та використанню інформації, що допомагає підвищити конкурентоспроможність агроформувань у довгостроковому прогнозі. Також вказується, що цифрове сільське господарство дозволяє створювати системи з певними характеристиками, такими як прогнозованість, висока продуктивність та здатність швидко адаптуватися до змін. Це сприяє підвищенню рівня продовольчої безпеки та стійкості агропідприємств, а також забезпечує їх доходність. У статті надано визначення «Цифрове (точне) землеробство» як нової стратегії менеджменту в агрономії, що базується на використанні «цифрових» технологій, нових технічних засобів та передбачає впровадження технологічних заходів з вирощування рослин з урахуванням просторової неоднорідності поля. Наголошується, що ця стратегія представляє новий етап розвитку агросфери, який повʼязаний з застосуванням геоінформаційних систем, глобального позиціонування, бортових компʼютерів, управлінських та виконавських механізмів, спроможних диференціювати способи обробітку, норми внесення добрив, хімічних меліорантів та засобів захисту рослин. Підсумовуючи, висновки статті підкреслюють, що впровадження цифрових технологій у сільське господарство потребує значних інвестиційних ресурсів для забезпечення потужних компʼютерів, програмного забезпечення, дієвих комунікацій, підготовки IT-фахівців та розроблення системи інформаційної безпеки.

Published: October 2023

Стрімкий розвиток подій починаючи з березня 2020 р., коли у зв’язку зі спалахом коронавірусної хвороби (пандемія COVID-19) підприємства індустрії гостинності, зокрема готельно-ресторанного бізнесу, зіткнулися з рядом обмежень у своїй діяльності, запустив ряд трансформацій, які посилися з початком військової агресії росії проти України, роль яких полягає у забезпеченні виживання бізнесу, досягнення стану стабільності та пошуку можливостей до розвитку. Важкі часи вимагають від бізнесу своєчасних рішень, креативного підходу до вирішення проблем за умов обмеженості матеріальних, фінансових, трудових, енергетичних, інформаційних ресурсів та відсутності безпекових гарантій у будь-якій точці нашої держави. Оцінка стану готельно-ресторанного бізнесу України через призму минулого, сьогодення та майбутніх перспектив шляхом аналізу основних економічних показників діяльності підприємств галузі та врахування факторів впливу на зовнішнє і внутрішнє середовище останніх покликана приблизити підприємства до стану стабільності та допомогти з пошуком можливостей до розвитку. У статті проаналізовано основні економічні показники діяльності підприємств готельно-ресторанного бізнесу в Україні, зокрема кількість діючих суб’єктів господарювання, кількість зайнятих працівників, обсяг реалізованих послуг, регіональну структуру за обсягом реалізованих послуг, динаміку середньомісячної заробітної плати працівників у порівнянні з мінімальною заробітною платою та середньомісячною зарплатою в Україні, чистий прибуток (збиток) підприємств, рентабельність операційної та всієї діяльності підприємств. Охарактеризовано фактори, які впливають на діяльності підприємств готельно-ресторанного бізнесу в умовах воєнного стану та наведено ймовірні шляхи послаблення їх впливу. Досліджено шляхи збереження та перспективи розвитку готельно-ресторанного бізнесу в умовах військового стану. Визначено важливість крос-культурного менеджменту у повоєнній відбудові економіки України, та зокрема готельно-ресторанному бізнесі. За результатами проведеного дослідження зроблено відповідні висновки та окреслено перспективи подальших досліджень за заданим напрямом.

7 Ways that African States are Legitimizing Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu
Published: October 2023

Several reports on States’ adoption of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) across the world have indicated that African countries have a “slow” or “low” AI adoption rate. This position is, however, changing, as several African countries are now bringing a modest acceptance of AI into different aspects of their governance structures and institutions. With what I will characterize as an era of “AI normative emergence in Africa”, here are seven ways that this technology is being legitimized and integrated by African states today:

Developing National AI Strategies

Establishing AI Agencies, Task Forces and Commissions

Amending Existing Laws and Creating New Regulations

Building Strategic Partnerships

Initiating Public Sector Reform with AI

Driving AI Education, Training and Research

Fostering A Continental (African) Approach to AI
Preparing for Frontier Risks in the New Economy
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu
Published: October 2023

Leaders in the public and private sectors manage a multitude of risks. Among these are high-likelihood, high-impact threats that don’t come out of the blue but instead follow a series of indications and evidence that such an event was on the horizon, such as the 2008 financial crisis (these have been called “grey rhinos” because of their scale and probability). At the other end of the predictability spectrum are so-called “black swan” risks, which are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact and improbability, such as the use of civilian aircraft in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Recognizing that attention and resources are focused on managing immediate crises, this chapter spotlights a unique kind of risk alongside the predicted and the almost-impossible-to-predict: “frontier risks” – risks that emerge at a frontier as technologies surface or human and societal forces shift. These risks are characterized by their unknown likelihood, unknown impacts or both.

Published: October 2023

In Northern Nigeria and the surrounding regions, Boko Haram has killed and maimed more innocent civilians in the past year than ISIS and Al Shabaab combined. In 2014 it killed 6,644 people, surpassing ISIS, which killed 6,073, thus making it the deadliest terrorist group in 2014, according to a report by Global Terrorism Index. Boko Haram, in carrying out its murderous attacks, makes no apologies for its nature as a threat to governance and development. This requires a critical and an all-inclusive response.
