J. I. Packer’s Theology of Discipleship
Authors: Simuț Corneliu C.
Published: December 2023

This paper is an attempt to provide a systematic perspective on J. I. Packer’s theology of discipleship based on a descriptive, analytical, and critical methodology of theological investigation. Various references to discipleship in Packer’s Knowing God (1973, the 2021 edition) were identified, analyzed, and contextualized to demonstrate six features of Christian discipleship (knowledge of Christ, zeal for Christ, spiritual adoption, spiritual realism, biblical anticipation, turning the world upside down) in conjunction with two fundamental aspects (Christ’s personal impact and keeping God’s commandments, the “two pillars” of discipleship) that constitute its foundation and were extracted from his Keeping the Ten Commandments (2008) and Concise Theology: A Guide to Historical Christian Beliefs (2011). The article shows how the six theological features of discipleship, and its two pillars are used by Packer to put together a contemporary Christian spirituality.
O novijem književno-kritičkom pristupu biblijskoj poeziji
Authors: Šimić Krešimir
Published: December 2023

U članku se iznose mišljenja trojice reprezentativnih autora – Jamesa Kugela, Roberta Altera i Jana Fokkelmana – važnih predstavnika tzv. književno-kritičkoga pristupa Bibliji, o biblijskoj poeziji. Prema Kugelu, gledati na Bibliju kroz leću podjele na poeziju i prozu (liriku i epiku), znači krivo gledati. Ako tako gledamo, čak ni minuciozne analize paralelizma neće biti od koristi – jer će se i one distorzirati. Kugel stoga smatra da u Bibliji ne postoji poezija, već samo „kontinuum“ sačinjen od labavo povezanih paralelnih struktura u onome što smatramo proznim dijelovima do „pojačane retorike“ u onome što pogrešno označavamo stihom. Alter smatra da je osnovica biblijske poezije semantički paralelizam. Ali, pritom ističe da je važno uvidjeti da pjesnički izraz zapravo izbjegava potpuni paralelizam, baš kao što se jezik opire pukoj sinonimnosti tako da neprestano uvodi male razlike između srodnih pojmova. Fokkelman pak smatra da je miješanje proze i poezije, pa i prijelaz proze u poeziju moguć jer velika većina rečenica na hebrejskom sadrži dvije do osam riječi. Štoviše, obično se povezuju u sekvence parataksom („... i ... i ... ali ... i onda ...“). Iz sva tri mišljenja proizlazi zaključak da je biblijska poezija, kao uostalom i proza, u velikoj mjeri sui generis, da razlika između poezije i proze, ako uopće postoji, nije iste naravi kao u zapadnoj književnoj kulturi, pa je stoga neprimjereno govoriti o prosimetrumu u Bibliji.
Jošuino putovanje učeništva

This paper aims to explore the dimensions of Joshua’s journey of discipleship. The thesis of the paper is that such a journey begins with Joshua’s movement from the shadow of Moses to the shadow of the Lord. And that means that Joshua is not only a person who follows in the footsteps of Moses, but he also advances uniquely towards fulfilling the call of God. And that is seen secondly, in the way he continues his journey, in a movement from the generation of Exodus that became the generation of failure, to which he belongs, by age, to the generation born in the wilderness that became the generation of entering the Promised Land. Joshua became part of that generation, through a continual advance, characterized by a constant submission, in obedience to the will of God. This continual advance in faithfulness, enables Joshua, as it is argued in the third part of the paper, not only to create a generation of obedience but also to become an inspirational model for future leaders and generations in the history of the people of God. Therefore, the exploration of the beginning, continuation, and fruit of Joshua’s journey of discipleship, reveals the necessary ingredients of any journey of discipleship, beginning with the departure from human models and patterns, and continuing with a constant alignment with the patterns of the will of God. Only as such, a journey of discipleship could have as its fruit a relevant legacy, whose helpful illustration is Joshua and his life.

Authors: Tang Ruize , Chen Qilin
Published: December 2023

Design an urban public landscape lighting control system based on DMX512 protocol to improve the lighting effect of urban public landscapes. The system uses the upper computer urban public landscape scene transformation software to edit the colour change data of urban public landscape lamps, set a reasonable number of sub-controllers according to the actual needs of urban public landscape scenes, and store relevant data in the SD card of the data storage layer. The Ethernet transmits the data in the SD card to the lighting control module, the main controller transmits the data in the SD card to the sub-controller, and the ARM of the sub-controller decodes the urban public landscape scene data, and uses the fireworks algorithm-fuzzy adaptive PID. The control algorithm solves the control data of urban public landscape lighting lamps, and the data that meets the DMX512 protocol is edited by FPGA and transmitted to the DMX512 controller. Through the DMX512 controller, the control data of urban public landscape lighting lamps is transmitted to the equipment module realize the control of LED lamps for urban public landscape lighting. The experimental results show that the response speed of the system is fast, at 0.60s it can quickly reach the illuminance value of the park landscape lighting LED light 7.5 lx set in the experiment, and its control ability is strong. At the same time, the system has high software and hardware compatibility and system stability. Better, in multiple operating systems, there will be no problems such as flashback, blue screen, crash, etc., ensuring the safe operation of the PC and improving the effect of park landscape lighting control.

Authors: Kim Jong Kwan , Jin Myung Ho , Kim Min Woo , Kwak Min Young
Published: December 2023

Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) differs from classic chronic otitis media as it is a refractory disease with the accumulation of eosinophils in thick mucinous middle ear effusion and mucosa. A 66-year-old male with a history of asthma, chronic sinusitis with polyposis, nasal polyposis, and multiple sets of ventilation tubes was presented to our center for the management of hearing loss and otorrhea. He had a history of consistent otorrhea and hearing loss even with the ventilation tube insertions and medical treatment. Both systemic and intratympanic steroid was administered, but the effect was insignificant and other systemic adverse effects occurred. Finally, the otologic symptoms including hearing loss and otorrhea improved after being given a Dupilumab injection. This case report discusses Dupilumab treatment resulting in remission in a patient suffering from refractory EOM.

Published: December 2023

Background and Objectives In the present study, we evaluated the treatment results of hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) patients and analyzed the occurrence of secondary primary malignancies. Treatments were based on two different surgical modalities (conventional pharyngo-laryngectomy vs. transoral surgery). In addition, prognostic factors of the patients were evaluated.Subjects and Method We analyzed medical data of 232 patients diagnosed with HPSCC and underwent surgery at our hospital from January 2006 to December 2019.Results The 5-year recurrence-free survival was 67.2% for the stage I-II group and 64.9% for the stage III-IV group. The 5-year disease-specific survival was 78.2% for the stage I-II group and 54.5% for the stage III-IV group. N classification was significantly correlated with disease relapse and patient mortality. Patient age, sex, perineural invasion, extranodal extension, initial tumor stage, and early recurrence (within 6 months) were significantly associated with successful salvage treatment. The two surgical modalities did not yield different oncological outcomes. Secondary primary malignancies occurred most frequently in the esophagus, with no observed inferior survival rate in patients with second malignancies.Conclusion The 5-year survival rate for HPSCC patients who received surgical treatment was 78% for stage I-II and 54% for stage III-IV. While no difference in oncological outcome was observed based on surgical modality, the transoral surgery group showed better functional outcomes.

The law-making process in the Ukrainian lands of the ХVth-XVIIth centuries: institutions and procedures
Authors: Bondaruk T. I.
Published: December 2023

Legal formation is one of the basic categories of both historical and legal science and legal science in general. The law-making process is a concentrated reflection of legal values, legal interests, legal mentality and mentality, ultimately the sense of right of society. His analysis is important for the reproduction of the historical and legal reality, particularly in the Ukrainian lands of the 15th-17th centuries, when legal practices and strategies were established and the legal canons of Ukrainian society were established. In this connection, the study of the organization of Diets and Diets and their functioning has significant cognitive potential.

The purpose of this article is to highlight some features of the law-making process on Ukrainian lands in the relevant period, which manifested itself in the phenomenon of seymikation – participation in Sejms and sejmiks. The appearance of noble self-government bodies was a consequence of the spread of the crown system of administrative-territorial and judicial system to the territory of Ukraine. As a result of the administrative reform carried out on the eve of the Union of Lublin and the division of lands into voivodeships and counties, Ukrainian lands became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as part of 8 voivodeships, with all the rights of the ancient crown voivodships and at the same time with «their own rights».

Such «own right» was primarily the Lithuanian Statute of 1566 (Statute of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) or the so-called Volyn statute. It was he who introduced the two-tier system of state organization: the general Sejm – the place of state representation of regional elites at the national level, and the poviat sejmiks – representative bodies of the nobility. Participation in seyms became the main mechanism for the participation of the nobility in the political and legal life of the state. Despite all the specifics of sejmik (vassal-clan dependencies, tycoon lobby, etc.), it can be argued that it, as well as the institutions of the Sejm and sejmiks, ensuring the involvement of a significant nobility and communication between the lord and the nobility, was an effective way of organizing, in particular, rightful life, the main component of which is law-making.

The article examines some issues of the transformation of legal consciousness, which is connected with the characteristics of legislative foundations that influence the processes of formation, further development and establishment of legal consciousness, with the clarification of modern vectors of the development of legislation, which are able to influence not only the change of social relations, and to a large extent shape the stages of the development of legal consciousness, modify people’s ideas in the legal space. It was also established that, on the one hand, a rule of law can influence legal awareness, and on the other hand, the correct application of a rule of law, its correct understanding and legal assessment depend on the appropriate level of legal awareness of the subjects who apply it. The article analyzes some normative legal acts that can and can affect the transformation of legal consciousness. It is noted that the functional purpose of legal awareness is to regulate the behavior of subjects within the existing system of law and legislation, which thereby ensures its participation at all stages of the mechanism of legal regulation. In this regard, it was established that the transformation of legal awareness involves the activation of the functional role of legal awareness in society, where law-making activity is the main tool of legal awareness.

Separate aspects of organizational and legal support of management activities of public administration bodies in war and post-war conditions.
Authors: Kуsil L. E.
Published: December 2023

An analysis of certain aspects of the organizational and legal provision of management activities of public administration bodies in war and post-war conditions was carried out, and possible ways of their solution were proposed based on the analysis of modern achievements of administrative and legal science. Attention is focused on the problem of the interaction of military and military-civilian administrations, local self-government bodies, the delimitation of their competence for the introduction and implementation of measures of the legal regime of martial law in the context of the draft Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Improving the Powers of Local Self-Government Bodies and Their Officials persons during the period of martial law» No. 8056. The opinion is supported regarding the need to create a body that would ensure the transfer of Ukraine’s economy to military «rails» – the Military-Industrial Commission headed by the Supreme Commander, the first deputy in the person of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and a deputy who would take care of the entire economic sphere, including the military industry. The primary task of such a Commission should be the approval and implementation of the State Strategy for the Development of the Military Industry, of which the state missile program and the drone program could become important components.

Draft laws aimed at expanding exceptions from the scope of the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» are analyzed. The opinion is substantiated that efforts to exclude from the scope of the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» certain spheres traditional for public administration – the administration of taxes, fees and other payments in accordance with the legislation, the control of compliance with which is entrusted to tax authorities; implementation of state financial control; cases on the granting of permits and conclusions on concerted actions, the concentration of business entities – can undermine the integrity and effectiveness of administrativeprocedural legislation, as well as call into question its role in regulating relations between public administration bodies and natural and legal entities.

Attention is focused on the actual incompleteness of the administrative-territorial reform, which threatens the growth of institutional disproportions in the relationship between state authorities and local self-government bodies of different levels in Ukraine; unresolved issues of the distribution of management functions between state authorities, local self-government bodies and civil society institutions regarding their exercise of powers in the field of public administration in wartime conditions.

Key words: public administration bodies, organizational and legal support, management activity, legal regime of martial law.
Ways of harmonizing the interaction of «traditions» and «progress» in law.
Authors: Mima I. V.
Published: December 2023

The process of development of various directions of objective scientific analysis of the problems of the theory of the state and law is studied; an analysis of legal tradition, progress, stability in law was carried out, with an emphasis on determining the spiritual (religious) component in their content. The author proves the point of view that ways of harmonizing the interaction of «tradition» and «progress» in law can be revealed through the analysis of legal culture and the place of religious-normative values in it, as they contribute to the disclosure and understanding of factors affecting the development of the legal system.

The author notes that tradition is ideals, models, symbols, norms of various kinds (moral, customary, religious, legal), transmitted orally or in writing from generation to generation of a given community, considered in it as particularly valuable, unique, that strengthen social connections and allow to regulate social relations. In principle, the legal tradition does not decide the content of specific legal norms, although these norms always reflect the spirit of a specific legal tradition. This is primarily a set of deeply rooted, historically determined general approaches to the genesis, essence and function of law, views on the relationship between law and religion, politics, economics and the entire organization of social life, beliefs about the correct ways of legislation, application, improvement and teaching of law. While legal progress is definitely a process of legal development of society and its components, oriented to legal values; characterized by signs of dynamism, purposefulness, progressivity, consistency, predictability of change, improvement of law with the aim of achieving the legal ideal, the result of which is an increase in the level of legal culture of society and the effectiveness of legal regulation of social relations.

The point of view is substantiated that the ideas of tradition and progress related to historical processes suggest the possibility of forming, at least to a certain extent, the directions of this development from the point of view of values approved by the social forces that implement them. Changes in the legal tradition are evidenced by the completeness of the connections between modern law and the past of law. Each legal culture associated with the tradition of law has its own beginning, variable development, marked by periods of progress and development, regression and stabilization. The development of values that contribute to the formation of better social solutions is precisely progress. Modern legal traditions remain under strong pressure from processes of their unification on a continental scale. However, acculturation, convergence, harmonization, unification weaken the identity of legal cultures, disrupt the stability of law, because they are based on changes.

Key words: legal tradition, progress, religious norms, law, legal system, legal culture.
Development of legislation on general administrative procedure in Ukraine
Authors: Tymoshchuk V. P.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with determining the place of the Law of Ukraine «On Administrative Procedure» (LAP) in the system of Ukrainian legislation and its impact on the systematization of administrative procedure legislation in general. The author analyzes the general features of such a type and form of systematization as codification and compares it with the adoption of the LAP and its impact on current and future legislation.

On the one hand, the author emphasizes such common features and positive impact of the LAP as improvement of the structure of legal acts, improvement of their logic and terminology. After all, the LAP introduces uniform principles of administrative procedure, general rules for consideration and resolution of cases based on applications of individuals and on the initiative of an administrative body, requirements for the execution of administrative acts, administrative appeal, enforcement of administrative acts, and early termination of administrative acts. On the other hand, the LAP mainly fills in the gaps using the best practices, doctrine and experience of countries of Western legal and political culture, especially Europe.

In the short term, the LAP may not change the number of legislative acts, and is likely to have a rather limited impact on reducing the volume of procedural parts in special legislative acts. At the first stage, the amount of procedural regulation may even increase. This is due to the fact that in order to eliminate conflicts and gaps, it may be necessary to introduce additional «linking» provisions with the LAP, and sometimes even temporary duplicate provisions, etc.

In the medium and long term, we can predict that the LAP will play the role of the main procedural regulator in public administration. The LAP should act as a general law for all sectors of public administration. And here, indeed, the LAP should serve as a measure for reviewing, streamlining and reducing special regulation.

In the future, special legislative acts and other regulations will continue to be in effect, and, if necessary, preserve or establish specifics of regulation. However, it will be possible to reduce the scope of special procedural regulation more and more radically and systematically.

The LAP will be especially valuable in the future, as special legislation will have less and less need to regulate the procedure. In this case, the regulatory value of the LAP itself will be maximized, as it will be easier for both public administration and private individuals to interact on the basis of common principles and rules. The LAP is extremely valuable for its principles, which are not only the basis for this law, but also a measure for resolving conflicts and filling gaps in all administrative procedure legislation. Particularly important are such principles as guaranteeing the right of a person to participate in administrative proceedings, formality, and reasonableness.

Key words: general administrative procedure, systematization, codification, principles of administrative procedure.

Published: December 2023

Myanmar faces a protracted learning crisis where the COVID-19 pandemic was compounded by a coup in February 2021, which furthered school closures. Save the Children created Catch-up Clubs (CuCs) to support children's remedial learning in a matter of weeks and address barriers to children's successful return to school in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. An innovative model that offers community-led, play-based literacy instruction to children grouped by ability, not age, CuCs assess children's foundational literacy and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), while addressing child protection and economic barriers to education. CuCs were piloted with over 3000 children in upper primary to lower secondary grades across 36 communities in the conflict-affected states of Rakhine and Kayin in Myanmar. This quasi-natural experimental impact evaluation investigated the cause-and-effect relationship between CuCs and children's literacy outcomes and SEL competencies. The study was contextually adapted to consider children affected by conflict, gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. The results show that children who participated in CuCs had significantly higher literacy level and SEL competency than children who did not participate. Children participating in CuCs also showed greater self-confidence and educational aspirations to remain in education or continue their schooling to a higher level.
PARİS BARIŞ KONFERANSI’NDAN SAN REMO KONFERANSI’NA PETROL MESELESİ
Authors: ÇETİN İsmigül
Published: December 2023

Avrupa Devletleri için I. Dünya Savaşı sırasında vazgeçilmez bir yakıt haline gelen petrol, savaş sonrası dünya düzenini yeniden kurma çalışmalarında devletlerin politikalarını etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biri haline gelmiştir. İngiltere petrol konusunda ABD’ye olan bağımlılığından kurtulmak için petrol yataklarının bulunduğu bölgeleri kendi kontrolü altına alma politikasını benimsemiştir. Bu nedenle o dönemde bilinen en zengin petrol kaynaklarına sahip olan Mezopotamya’yı ele geçirmek savaş hedefi olmuştur. Ancak Musul’un bir kısmını I. Dünya Savaşı sırasında imzalanan Sykes-Picot Antlaşması ile Fransa’ya bırakmıştır.

Savaş sonrası değişen şartlar ve çıkarlar nedeniyle İngiltere Syke-Picot Antlaşması’nda ciddi bir değişikliğe gitmek istemiştir. Bu durum İngiltere ve Fransa arasında Orta Doğu ile ilgili olarak Suriye, Filistin, kurulması planlanan Arap devleti ve Musul gibi sorunları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Gerek Paris Barış Konferansı sırasında gerekse sonrasında devam eden bir dizi toplantıda hem Orta Doğu’nun yeni haritası çizilmiş, hem de petrol paylaşılmıştır.

Henüz barış konferansı başlamadan, Fransa Suriye’deki isteklerinin kabul edilmesi ve Mezopotamya petrolünden pay verilmesi şartı ile Musul’u İngiltere’ye bırakmayı kabul etmiştir. Paris Barış Konferansı toplandıktan sonra ise iki devlet arasında sadece Mezopotamya petrolünü değil Romanya, Rusya ve iki devletin kolonilerinden çıkan petrolün de paylaşıldığı Long-Bérenger Anlaşması imzalanmıştır. Ancak Orta Doğu’nun genel problemleri çözülmediği için bu anlaşma geçersiz sayılmıştır. İki devlet arasındaki görüşmeler devam etmiş önce Greenwood-Bérenger Anlaşması imzalanmış ancak yine geçersiz sayılmıştır. Bu anlaşmaların geçersiz sayılmalarının nedenleri bölgedeki mandaterlerin belirlenmesinde yaşanan çekişmeler ve İngiltere ve Fransa’nın büyük petrol şirketleri ile olan ilişkileridir. Sonuç olarak iki devlet arasında San Remo Petrol Anlaşması imzalanmıştır. İki tarafın da onayladığı bu anlaşmadan sonra bile yıllarca petrol meselesi iki devlet arasında görüşmelerin yapılmasına neden olmuştur.
RİTÜELDEN OYUNA UYGUR ÇOCUK OYUNLARI
Authors: GÖNEL SÖNMEZ Tugba
Published: December 2023

Ritüeller, bir toplum veya grup içerisinde, belirli dönemlerde belirli bir sıra ile çeşitli jest, sembol, davranış veya etkinliklerin tekrarlandığı, dinî veya dindışı bir anlam ve amaç doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilen geleneksel uygulamalardır. Bu amaçlar arasında dinî ibadet, törensel kutlamalar, geçiş ritüelleri, toplumsal birliği güçlendirme ve koruma, halk hekimliği veya büyüsel uygulamalar gibi çeşitli sosyal ve kutsal zaman etkinlikleri yer almaktadır. Dolayısıyla ritüeller, genellikle toplum tarafından ortaklaşa icra edilir ve toplumun bir parçası olan bireyler arasında iletişimi, dayanışmayı ve bağları güçlendirir. Aynı zamanda ritüeller, bireylere aidiyet duygusu ve toplumsal kimlik kazandırır.

Yetişkin dünyasının taklidi mahiyetindeki çocuk oyunları, toplumsal yaşamın her aşamasını inceleyebilmek için önemli bir kaynak niteliğindedir. Çocuklar, gözlem güçleri, taklit yetenekleri ve güçlü bellekleri ile geçmişi koruma ve saklama konusunda etkili bir rol oynarlar. Çocuk oyunları, bilişsel, fiziksel, duyusal gelişim özellikleri, katılımcıların niteliği, niceliği ve cinsiyeti, icra bağlamı gibi birçok değişkene bağlı olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır. Belirli bir kültürel ve dinî bağlamda, sosyal yaşamın ve inanç pratiklerinin taklidinden beslenen ritüel nitelikli çocuk oyunları, toplumun bir parçası olan çocuklar tarafından her toplumda icra edilmektedir. Nitekim Uygur Türkleri tarafından gerçekleştirilen ritüeller, çocuk oyunları arasında yer bulmakta, mevsimlik törenlerde, çeşitli tabiat olaylarını karşılarken, ürün hasadı sırasında, kutsal zaman niteliğindeki bayramlar, aylar, kandil gecelerinde ve milli bayramlarda, kalabalık çocuk grupları tarafından oynanmaktadır. Yetişkinlerin evren tasavvurunun taklidi ve sembolü niteliğindeki bu oyunlar, ilk çağlardan itibaren geçirdiği değişim ve dönüşüm vasıtasıyla Uygur Türklerinin toplumsal belleğinde önemli bir sembolik değer oluşturmakla birlikte kültürel mirasın gelecek nesillere aktarılmasında önemli bir araç işlevi görürler. Çocuklar, bu oyunlar aracılığıyla Uygur kültürünün temel unsurlarını, inançlarını, yaşam tarzını ve değerlerini öğrenirler. Bu sayede toplumun ortak hafızası ve kimliği, gelecek kuşaklara aktarılır. Ritüel nitelikli çocuk oyunları, aynı zamanda çocukların sosyal becerilerini geliştirmelerine, iletişim kurma, işbirliği yapma, takım çalışması, liderlik becerileri gibi sosyal yeteneklerin kazanılmasına katkı sağlar.

Çalışmada, Uygur Türkleri arasında oynanan ritüel nitelikli çocuk oyunları, kutsal ve sosyal zaman, mekan, icra ve icracı özellikleri bağlamında ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca ritüel karakteristikteki Uygur çocuk oyunları, klasik ve modern oyun kuramları ve oyunun toplumsal işlevi bağlamında bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla literatür taramasından elde edilen verilerle değerlendirilmektedir.

Bulk hydraulic structures, such as dams and dams of tailings and ash dumps are very widespread and are hazardous production facilities. The article analyzes the existing methods of geodetic monitoring of bulk hydraulic structures, their advantages and disadvantages are considered. For monitoring bulk hydraulic structures, a new technique is proposed, in which the main type of geodetic monitoring is ground laser scanning, which allows the determination of both displacement vectors for individual points and areal deformations that can be analyzed using map algebra. To highlight the surface of the dam, filtering is used according to the molding method, which allows us to clear the cloud of points of laser reflections from vegetation. Since the enclosing dams are long, it is proposed to localize the scanning sites using geotomographic studies, which make it possible to identify areas of structural het-erogeneities in the body of the dam, voids and areas of highly moistened rocks. For visual inspection of hydraulic structures, it is proposed to use unmanned aerial photography, with which you can get a three-dimensional model of the body of the dam. The dam body model can be used for finite element modeling of stresses and filtration processes in the dam body. The article provides a database diagram of the "Dam deformation" software package, which allows you to store complex information about a hydraulic structure and use it to make decisions about the state of the object.

The article considers one of the possible options for structural formalized representation of a com-bined (integrated) system for providing spatial data. It shows the technological and regulatory-technical possibility of combining cartographic-geodetic and topogeodetic support into a single provision with spatial data of the country's economic and military activities. In the conditions of a special military operation and economic sanctions, the urgency of building an integrated system for providing spatial data is justified. It is proposed to consider the system of providing spatial data in two possible terminological meanings – understanding the system of providing spatial data in a broad and narrow sense. The article defines the concept of providing spatial data in two terminological meanings. It also justifies the structural formalized construction of the system for providing spatial data in its wide full representation with the designation of four information-related, but functionally and technologically independent components (subsystems). The purpose and main content of each subsystem included in the spatial data provision system are highlighted. It is established that the formalized hierarchical structural construction of an integrated spatial data support system in the form of four functionally independent and information-interconnected subsystems in the future makes it possible to develop and study promising areas for improving both each subsystem separately and the system as a whole.

Grape leaves, scientifically known as Vitis vinifera, the primary by-product obtained after the processing of grapes, are gathered in enormous amounts and disposed of as agricultural waste. For more sustainable agriculture and better food systems, it is crucial to investigate these byproducts’ nutritional values. The primary bioactive compounds present in grape leaves are quercetin, resveratrol, caffeic acid, kaempferol, and gallic acid, which favour pharmacological effects on human health such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and hepatoprotective. Furthermore, grape leaves extract has been used as a functional ingredient for creating both food and non-food products. The aim of the current review is to review the nutritional and phytochemical composition of various varieties of grape leaves, their health-promoting characteristics and their applications. The study also highlights the various extraction techniques including conventional and non-conventional methods for extracting the various bioactive compounds present in grape leaves. Grape leaves bioactives can be extracted using environmentally safe and sustainable processes, which are in line with the rising demand for eco-friendly and healthful products worldwide. These methods are perfectly suited to the changing needs of both customers and industries since they lessen environmental effect, enhance product quality, and offer financial advantages.

Timely, convenient, and efficient detection of carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) levels in serum holds significant importance in early screening, diagnostic assistance and prognosis prediction of breast cancer. The development of efficient and convenient electrochemical aptasensors with immobilized redox probes for label-free detection of CA15-3 is highly desirable. In this work, a bipolar silica nanochannel array film (bp-SNA) with two distinct functional domains including nanochannels and an outer surface was employed for the immobilization of recognition ligands and electrochemical redox probes, enabling the construction of a probe-integrated aptasensor for reagentless electrochemical detection of CA15-3. Cost-effective and readily available indium tin oxide (ITO) was used as the supporting electrode for sequential growth of a negatively charged inner layer (n-SNA) followed by a positively charged outer layer (p-SNA). The preparation process of bp-SNA is convenient. Functionalization of amino groups on the outer surface of bp-SNA was modified by aldehyde groups for covalent immobilization of recognition aptamers, further establishing the recognition interface. Within the nanochannels of bp-SNA, the electrochemical redox probe, tri (2,2′-dipyridyl) cobalt (II) (Co(bpy)32+) was immobilized, which experienced a dual effect of electrostatic attraction from n-SNA and electrostatic repulsion from p-SNA, resulting in high stability of the immobilized probes. The constructed aptasensor allowed for reagentless electrochemical detection of CA15-3 ranged from 0.001 U/mL to 500 U/mL with a low detection limit (DL), 0.13 mU/mL). The application of the constructed aptasensor for CA15-3 detection in fetal bovine serum was also validated. This sensor offers advantages of a simple and readily obtainable supporting electrode, easy bp-SNA fabrication, high probe stability and good stability.
Human vaginal microbiota colonization is regulated by female sex hormones in a mouse model

Published: December 2023

Introduction

Clinically, a Lactobacillus rich vaginal microbiota (VMB) is considered optimal for reproductive outcomes, while a VMB populated by anaerobes is associated with dysbiosis and the clinical condition bacterial vaginosis (BV), which is linked to increased susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections and adverse reproductive outcomes. Mouse models that mimic eubiotic and dysbiotic VMB are currently lacking but could play a critical role in improving protective interventions.

Methods

In this study, probiotic, eubiotic, and dysbiotic models were developed in C57BL/6 mice, using probiotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14, eubiotic Lactobacillus crispatus, or dysbiotic Gardnerella vaginalis strains. Endogenous sex hormones were manipulated by either ovariectomizing (OVX) mice or administering 17β-estradiol or progesterone pellets in OVX mice. Hormone-altered mice were inoculated with probiotic Lactobacillus species, L. crispatus, or G. vaginalis, and colonization was tracked using quantitative plating assays. Glycogen and MUC-1 levels in hormone-treated mice were determined with ELISA and MUC-1 staining.

Results

Following a single administration, L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri persisted in the mouse vaginal tract for up to eight days, L. crispatus persisted for up to three days, and G. vaginalis persisted for up to two days, as measured by quantitative plating assays and qPCR. Colonization of G. vaginalis was facilitated by the presence of mucin. The lack of endogenous hormones in OVX mice dramatically decreased VMB bacterial load compared to normal mice. None of the exogenous bacteria including Lactobacilli could colonize OVX mice for more than 24 hours. Treatment with 17β-estradiol but not progesterone restored the endogenous VMB and colonization with Lactobacilli and G. vaginalis. Interestingly, 17β-estradiol treated mice had significantly increased levels of glycogen compared to OVX and progesterone-treated mice.

Discussion

Based on the results, we have shown that estrogen played a significant role in the ability for human VMB species to colonize in our mouse models, potentially through a glycogen mediated mechanism. These results suggest there is a dynamic interaction between sex hormones and the VMB, which can affect bacterial diversity and the ability for a VMB to colonize.

The aim was to characterize the electrovectorcardiographic pattern of ventricular aneurysms in ischemic cardiopathy by analyzing the cardiac ventricular repolarization. The medical records of 2,670 individuals were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. A test phase included 33 patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiogram with ultrasonic enhancing agent, electrocardiogram, and vectorcardiogram (aneurysm group - n = 22, and akinesia group - n = 11). In the validation phase, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging established the left ventricle segmental contractility in 16 patients who underwent electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic tests (aneurysm group, n = 8, and akinesia group, n = 8). The variables studied were the presence of the T-wave plus-minus pattern and the T-wave loop anterior-posterior pattern in V2–V4. The diagnostic indices used were sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values, with their respective 95% confidence intervals. During the test and validation phases, the analysis of the presence of the T-wave plus-minus pattern identified the aneurysm group with a sensitivity of 91% vs. 87% and specificity of 91% vs. 87% (p < 0.0001 vs. p = 0.01), respectively. Meanwhile, the T-wave loop anterior-posterior pattern evidenced sensitivity of 95% vs. 77% and specificity of 91% vs. 87% (p < 0.0001 vs. p = 0.04), respectively. The electrovectorcardiographic parameters showed high accuracy for recognizing left ventricular aneurysms in ischemic heart disease.
