The work is devoted to the development of safe and biocompatible multicomponent gelatin-alginate hydrogels modified with humic acids (HA) and impregnated with the antifibrinolytic agent aminocaproic acid (АА).These hydrogels are designed to be effective hemostatic materials with anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to deliver in less than 30 seconds to deep and hidden areas of hemorrhages. Studies of the crystal structure by X-ray diffraction analysis and non-covalent interactions of molecules by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the developed hemostatic gelatin-alginate hydrogels modified with bactericidal and anti-inflammatory humic acids made it possible to identify the optimal concentrations of HA from 2.5 wt.%. up to 5 wt.%. At such concentrations of HA, gelatin-alginate hydrogels have a semicrystalline structure. Due to non-covalent bonds between polymer chains, they are thermo-responsive with a gel-sol transition temperature of about 37 °C. Impregnation of these hydrogels with aminocaproic acid led to an almost threefold increase in their swelling, which facilitated the dissolution of AA in the hydrogels and its subsequent delivery to the wound. Experiments simulating the transmembrane transport of aminocaproic acid from the developed gelatin-alginate hydrogels confirmed their ability to rapidly deliver up to 494± 3 mg of AA from 5 ml of hydrogel to the wound.

Bullying behavior is not a new phenomenon, but has been happening in Indonesia for a long time and continues to increase. Bullying behavior is mentioned as a form of negative action based on the misuse of power and strength that is carried out intentionally and repeatedly by one or a group of students who are offensive. This study aims to determine the relationship between parenting patterns with bullying attitudes in adolescents. This study used a correlational study method with Accidental Sampling sampling technique which obtained the research subjects as many as 132 teenagers.. The data analysis technique used in this research is descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The results of this study indicate a significant relationship between parenting and bullying attitudes in adolescents based on a sig value that is less than 0.05, which is 0.039. This study also shows the Correlation Coefficient value of -0.216 (rcount > 0.1946), meaning that there is a low and opposite correlation between parenting and bullying attitudes. This value also means that the higher the parenting style, the lower the bullying attitude in adolescents. The results of this study indicate that the highest dimension is found in the bully dimension which indicates that the bullying attitude of adolescents is mostly shown through the bullying behavior that has been carried out by the teenager. The results in this study also stated that the parenting pattern that was widely applied by the respondent's parents was permissive parenting. Parenting styles play different roles in child development adequately and depend on children's involvement in bullying behavior.

Published: August 2024

The whey generated by cheese production is the main by-product generated by the dairy industry, which causes considerable impact on the environment if it is not treated properly. This potential contaminant is mainly due to its high content of organic matter. In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out with the objective of using whey more efficiently, using innovative technological methods for the treatment of wastewater such as the anaerobic digestion method, and thereby being able to obtain derived products such as biogas or biofuels, which generate less environmental impact and develop economic activities. The objective of this study is to collect studies on the use of whey to obtain biogas through the anaerobic digestion technique. The review allowed us to know the wide application of the anaerobic digestion method for the production of biogas from whey and other agri-food substrates, demonstrating the high efficiency of the method in association with biological media in semi-continuous and discontinuous conditions. Likewise, it was also possible to know that the anaerobic co-digestion method is a promising alternative for small and medium-sized industries that could replace fossil fuels with biogas and that in turn contribute to environmental conservation by avoiding pollution and environmental problems due to the effect of the poor serum management.

The association of breast cancer and pregnancy is defined as the occurrence of breast cancer during pregnancy or the year following delivery. In this classic definition, most teams also associate cancers that are seen after an abortion or a stopped pregnancy. It is the first cancer associated with pregnancy. Objectives : Describe the epidemiological, diagnostic and prognostic profile of patients and evaluate their management. Methodology : Retrospective study of 28 patients with breast cancer discovered during pregnancy or the year following delivery or abortion, collected at the Joliot Curie Institute of Aristide le Dantec Hospital in Dakar during the period from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2007. Results : The frequency of the association was 2.9%, the mean age of 33.7 years. The average age of pregnancy was 4 months with extremes of 1 and 8 months. Large multiparas predominated (42.9%). The most common finding was that of the breast nodule (35.7%), clinical size T4 was the most common (64.3%), N2 lymph node status was the most frequently found (42.9%) and Stage IIIB was most prevalent (57.1%). A heterogeneous hypoechoic image was found in 3 cases. Invasive ductal carcinoma was found in 8 patients (28.6%). In neo-adjuvant chemotherapy L1, the CMF protocol was the most prescribed (39.3%). Breast surgery was performed in 42.9% of our patients. The therapeutic interruption of pregnancy was necessary to start the medical treatment in 3 cases. The tumor was grade SBR II in 25% of cases. Overall survival at 5 years was 18%. Conclusion : This study shows that the association is rare, the patients come late, the diagnosis is difficult, the therapeutic indications are limited by the constraints of the association. Our results are pejorative as shown by the overall survival at 5 years.

Published: August 2024

Primary colorectal lymphomas are extremely rare accounting for 0.1 to 0.5% of colorectal cancers. They represent a real challenge in term of diagnosis and management. We present three cases of Bcells lymphoma at CNHU of Cotonou. All patients were male with age of 54, 23 and 16-years-old. All patients presented with various digestive symptoms including constant abdominal pain. On examination, all patients showed an impaired general condition with fever and abdominal mass. Colonoscopy showed a fungating mass of rectum for the first case and ascending colon for the second. Abdominal CT scan revealed abdominal mass in all cases. The third case underwent laparotomy and right hemicolectomy was performed for a large coecal mass. Pathology and immunohistochemistry led to the diagnosis of B cells lymphoma in all cases. One patient received a CHOP chemotherapy. The outcome was often unfavorable. Diagnosis of colorectal lymphoma is often delayed. It is based on colonoscopy, pathology, and immunohistochemistry. Immuno-chemotherapy (R-CHOP) is the gold standard of treatment. Surgery seems to have less place in the management. These case reports emphasize the importance of preoperative histology in gastrointestinal neoplasia. Keywords: Colorectal tumor, B cells lymphoma, Immunohistochemistry, Chemotherapy, Surgery.

Abstract: Introduction: Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of rare tumors, originating from mesenchymal tissue, developing at the expense of extra skeletal connective tissues, the management of which is complex and the prognosis severe. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and management of soft tissue sarcomas in a general surgery department in Bamako in 2019. Methods: This was a retrospective file review of 9 years of activity from 2008 to 2016 targeting soft tissue sarcomas which resulted in 37 cases. The eligibility criteria were age greater than 12 years, histological evidence of soft tissue sarcoma. The parameters describing the epidemiological, clinical, histological and therapeutic characteristics were analyzed. Results: There were 25 men and 12 women aged 46 years on average whose lesion presented in the form of a swelling in 97.3% of cases, mainly located on the limbs in 86.4%, metastatic in the time of diagnosis in 32.4%. Fibrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma were the most common histologic subtypes in 40.5% and 37.8%, respectively. Surgical treatment was initiated in 78.4% with a resection rate of 27%. The consequences were marked by 9 cases of recurrence and 7 deaths. Conclusion: Any soft tissue tumor should be considered a sarcoma until proven otherwise and treated as such. When complete resection is not possible, it is better to abstain and resort to nonsurgical means as a palliative. Keywords: Soft tissue sarcoma, epidemiology, histological types, prognosis.

Social support as a factor of mental health in wartime conditions: Communication and interaction
Authors: Kostruba Natalia , Kostruba Andrii
Published: August 2024

According to researchers, social support is a powerful tool for maintaining a person's mental health. The aim of this study was to empirically identify the relationship between social support as a resource and the stability of an individual's mental health in wartime conditions. The following methods were used in the study: “The Mental Health Continuum – Short Form” (E.L. Nosenko, A.H. Chetveryk-Burchak), and the BASIC Ph Model. Mathematical-statistical methods applied included correlation analysis with the determination of the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and the determination of differences using the Student's t-test. The study sample consisted of 382 Ukrainians living in Ukraine (of which 116 were men and 266 were women), with an average age of 21.3 years (ranging from 18 to 43 years). The results obtained demonstrate that more than a third of the respondents have a low level of stability of mental health, which is interpreted as a state of depression, a tense psycho-emotional state, passivity in activity and interaction with others. To overcome this state, the respondents most often resort to cognitive skills, belief and physical activity. Analysis of the relationship between mental health stability and various forms of social support revealed that communication and interaction with friends, family members, and members of organisations or communities to which one belongs are associated with higher indicators of mental health and well-being. Differences in mental health indicators and the use of social support were also found between men and women. Men are less likely to use social support as a method of coping with difficult life circumstances. The obtained data do not exhaust the problem of studying social support as a factor of mental health in wartime conditions, but they confirm that communication and interaction are associated with the psychological health and well-being of the individual

Published: August 2024

This article presents the results of an all-Ukrainian study titled “Bullying and Tolerance in Educational Institutions after February 24, 2022”, conducted between November 2023 and January 2024. The study aimed to identify the prevalence of bullying among middle school students (grades 5-9) and its most common types and pretexts. Additionally, the research identified support-seeking patterns for adolescents experiencing bullying and how schools respond to these appeals. Common school responses included communication with the bully or target and involving the bully’s parents. Police intervention occurred in 3.9% of cases. Notably, some peculiarities of bullying in Ukrainian schools emerged after the full-scale russian invasion, including increased bullying levels in Kyiv and new pretexts such as refugee status. The overall prevalence of bullying since the invasion began is 24.7%. Among bullied students, 59.4% sought help from someone and 52.2% of those received help. Appearance, behaviour, and worldview were the most common pretexts for bullying. Based on language, those who live abroad and moved there from the Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk, Kyiv Regions and Kyiv, as well as those who live in the Lviv Region and Kyiv and moved there from the Kherson and Donetsk Regions, are more likely to be bullied because of their use of the russian language. Relational bullying, such as spreading rumours and discouraging friendships, was the most prevalent type among Ukrainian adolescents. The study results can be used for more effective anti-bullying intervention programs in educational institutions
Research issues in the psychological preparation of adolescent gymnasts: A literature review
Authors: Yusiphova Nigar Eyvaz
Published: August 2024

In the article, the researcher conducted on the psychological preparation of adolescent gymnasts is analysed and systematised. Additionally, the factors that play an important role in the psychological preparation of gymnasts are discussed and psychologically interpreted. In the article, the author emphasises the importance of the individual psychological characteristics of gymnasts in preparing them for the competition. Furthermore, it is noted that the gymnast-coach relationship and their interactions with peers have a significant impact on the psychological preparation of gymnasts. This, in turn, leads to a change in the psychological climate of a team. According to literature, psychological preparation, or psychological skills training as it is also called, constitutes part of the whole process followed by an athlete during their athletic preparation. Weinberg & Williams suggest the best time to implement such a program is off-season or preseason. Psychological preparation nowadays constitutes an integral part of any sports programme aimed at preparing athletes for the achievement of high performance. Indeed, the importance of psychological skills training in developing athletic performance is widely acknowledged, and the number of athletes implementing psychological training strategies is increasing. Success in the psychological preparation of athletes can be achieved by having the right influence on their psyche. It is impossible to train athletes successfully without considering the psychology of the individual and the team. This is especially important in the field of gymnastics

Published: August 2024

Traditionally in Turkish medicines, Berberis baluchistanica and Daphne oleoides plant are used for the treatment of rheumatism, fever, lumbago, gonorrhea, boils, snake bite antidote, piles, hemorrhoids, as laxative, ulcers and wound healing. The study objective was based on the scientific investigation of traditional claim of wound healing potential of both these wild plants extract in healthy inbreed male albino rats. The wound healing activity of both the extracts was evaluated by adopting excision and incision wound models with a topical dose of 100 mg/kg b.w /day. Wound healing process effectiveness was assessed by measuring wound contraction and epithelization period, measurement of tensile strength of healing skin and histopathological studies of granulating tissue. D. oleoides roots crude methanolic extract (CME) encouraged pronounced wound repairing process in both adopted wound models. In this case, boosted wound retrenchment rate (P < 0.001), shrinkage of epithelialization period (10.13 ± 0.11), high skin disintegration strength (410.0 ± 1.8) and remarkable enhanced granulation tissue weight (P < 0.001) were experienced in albino rats. As well as the granulation tissue histological examination exhibited more collagen with reduced inflammatory cells number propagation versus control. In B. baluchistanica stems CME treated animals, wound contraction, and granulation tissue content were not much prevailed being (P < 0.05) moderately high. The histology of the granulation tissue disclosed greater number of inflamed cells with less collagen than the D. oleoides treated animals. However, it was more amplified compared to control group. The collective research data emphasized that D. oleoides possesses significant wound management activity versus B. baluchistanica, furthermore both extracts rationalize the traditional claim to cure wounds and can be utilized in different wound healing therapies in human beings as well.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the prominent cause of death both in the United States and worldwide. Hyperlipidemia is the primary risk factor that leads to atherosclerosis and several other vascular diseases. statin therapy has been the most prescribed therapy for hyperlipidemia for almost three decades, but the prescription comes with some adverse side effects. Bempedoic acid is a novel oral drug recently approved by the FDA for hyperlipidemia patients especially it is beneficial for those who are facing statin intolerance. The studies were collected from different databases i.e. PubMed, clinicaltrails.gov, web of Science, and Google Scholar. The selection criteria were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. The phase 2 trials showed reducing Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) by 27% at a dosage of 120 mg of Bempedoic acid. When Bempedoic acid and ezetimibe are administered alone, LDL-C levels are reduced by 13-23% and 13-20%, respectively. Bempedoic acid+ atorvastatin causes a reduction of LDL to 22%, but with a placebo treatment, there will be no reduction in LDL level. Bempedoic acid 120 mg plus ezetimibe 10mg LDL-C levels decreased by 43% and 48% with Bempedoic acid 180 mg plus ezetimibe 10mg. Bempedoic acid has an interesting biochemical profile and presents an interesting new option for managing the complex dyslipidemia issue. The FDA has approved Bempedoic acid and Bempedoic acid plus antihyperlipidemic agents for the treatment of people with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who need further LDL-C reduction with statin therapy that is maximally tolerable.

Published: August 2024

The paper analyzes four variants of conformal azimuthal projections for the territory of the Republic of Serbia. In the procedure, a double conformal mapping was applied. As it is common practice to perform mapping in azimuthal projections from a sphere to a plane, it was initially necessary to perform a conformal mapping from the ellipsoid to the sphere, after which a conformal mapping from the sphere to the plane was executed. The central point of the projection is a point with a value of 44° north latitude and 21° east longitude. The mapping territory is trapezoidal in shape, defined by the values of the geographic latitudes and longitudes of the southernmost (41°53'), northernmost (46°11'), westernmost (18°49'), and easternmost (23°) points in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The mapping variants are defined based on different values of linear scale at the central point of the projection. Data processing was carried out within the Jupyter Notebook component, part of the Anaconda software package, using the Python programming language. The results are presented numerically, graphically, and visualized using AutoCAD software.

EU Tunnel Directive 2004/54/EC aims to ensure a minimum level of safety for users in road tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network. EU member states are required to develop, at national level, their own detailed methodology for tunnel risk assessment. Along with that, ADR as the UN regulation in the field of dangerous good transportation by road, contains provisions concerning restrictions on the passage of vehicles carrying dangerous goods in road tunnels. Tunnel category A-E is assigned to each tunnel on the transport route, which regulate the types of dangerous goods to be allowed to go through the tunnel in order to avoid any hazards with major consequences. In this paper, basic principles of risk assessment and categorization of tunnels in accordance.

Authors: Đervida Danijela , Ćuso Biljana , Santrač Milica
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the issue of water supply in the municipality of Tešanj, which has been identified as crucial for many years due to the indispensable nature of water as a basic resource necessary for life. The available capacity of the Kraševo-Jelah-Tešanj central water supply system is 47 l/s. By calculating the daily water demand in the area, we determine a water deficit of 51.11 l/s, which needs to be addressed. The analysis and synthesis of data during the preparation of the study leads to the proposition of an artificial aquifer recharge system as a solution to the long-term water supply problem in the mentioned area.

Published: August 2024

The transition from ellipsoidal geodetic coordinates to rectangular 3D coordinates is quite simple, while the reverse procedure is somehow more complex due to the mathematical relationship between the ellipsoidal width and 3D coordinates. Until now, several methods for solving this problem have been defined and described in geodetic literature. In this paper, the possibility of applying a backpropagation algorithm based on a multilayer perceptron (Multilayer Perceptron – MLP) neural network for the transformation of rectangular 3D geodetic into ellipsoidal coordinates is analyzed. The applied MLP model is based on Bayesian regularization (BR). The adequacy of the model was verified by a robustness test and a cross-validation test. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that the MLP neural network can be used for the transformation from rectangular 3D to ellipsoidal coordinates. Future research should analyze the possibility of applying this procedure to solve the problem of data transformation.
ORIGIN AND CONTINUITY OF THE SYMBOLIC FORM BY THE EXAMPLE OF MEMORIAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE YUGOSLAV IDEOLOGY
Authors: Jovanović Andrej
Published: August 2024

The work represents a theoretical contribution to the study of the complex semiotics of the forms of the memorial architecture of Yugoslavia, with special insight into the usage and possible continuity of prominent symbolic forms by the example of three notable Yugoslav authors: Ivan Meštrović, Bogdan Bogdanović, Dušan Džamonja. Pointing out the connections of archaic symbols with the memorial architecture of Yugoslavia, the purpose of the work is to identify the potential continuity of the semiotics of the form, but also to indicate the turn of the artistic expression that appears under the influence of the new political context in need of dominant multiculturalism and the aspiration to preserve the multicultural state model.

Expanded vermiculite was added to the cement-lime mortar at 10%, 20% and 30%, which reduced the density of the hardened mortar (HM) without expanded vermiculite (EV) by an average of 8,3% for the HM with 10% EV, 14,7% for the HM with 20% EV and 24,2% for the HM with 30% EV. Compressive and flexural strength and static modulus of elasticity were investigated and the relationships between these properties were determined. The effect of the added amount of EV on: total porosity, air void content and capillary suction of HM according to SIA 262, Appendix A; capillary water absorption; gas permeability and air permeability; water permeability and internal freeze/thaw resistance up to 200 cycles was investigated and determined.
Mars Ascent Propellants and Life Support Resources - Take it or Make it?
Authors: Donald Rapp
Published: August 2024

Studies of Mars missions over the past thirty years lacked credible cost estimates, so the total mass of materiel delivered to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) was typically used as a rough measure of relative mission cost because the complexity of the mission was thought to be roughly proportional to the initial mass in LEO (IMLEO). Historically, high launch costs led to large investments in space hardware development which led to high space mission costs. Reducing mass became the central theme of space mission engineering. We are now entering a new era where launch costs no longer have the impact that they would have two decades ago. Launch costs are coming down to the point where we must ask ourselves whether it now makes sense to bring ascent propellants and life support resources from Earth (with higher reliability as a bonus), as opposed to using in situ propellant production and cycling of life support resources. This paper compares various options for bringing ascent propellants and life support resources from Earth vs. developing in situ. In short, it examines the “take it or make it” options for both technologies. For ISPP, the answer is clear: Mars ISPP is not worth the investment when launch costs are low. For life support, the most robust option is to bring life survival resources from Earth, and only use cycling to upgrade the quality of life for the crew.

Published: August 2024

The world around us is always colored in one way or another, and then, of course, we need to use terms to define color. The dictionary of any language always contains a limited number of color names (usually 100-150). In this case, the human eye can distinguish several times more colors (up to 100,000 shades). Color is of great importance in the life of a modern person. Often, people’s mood, emotions, and even physical well-being directly depend on this. This explains why research in the field of color is so popular among psychologists. However, when considering certain aspects, experts often overlook the deep historical and cultural experience of a person who constantly strives to name the objects and phenomena that surround him. This article examines the conceptual features of flowers in proverbs and sayings. The article examines from a historical point of view the poetic features of anthropocentric proverbs with black and white colors and concludes that they form the basis of a stable antonymy that helps to understand the features of the artistic image of the world, as well as clarify philosophical and aesthetic points of view. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that black and white colors are little studied in proverbs and sayings. To continue and complement these studies, the authors focus on the color palette of proverbs when conducting the study. The color scheme is ideological and thematic, attracts characteristic sharp contrasts, and most importantly performs certain functions. It is proved that the values «black» and «white» can have both positive and negative characteristics.

This study examines the theoretical basis of the Nebis In Idem principle in civil cases, especially in class actions and how the basis for the Judges' consideration in applying the Nebis In Idem principle in Class Action Decisions, where the method of approach used in this scientific work is normative juridical, namely research that analyzes laws and regulations with literature studies. Using primary source study materials in the form of regulations, while secondary legal materials include books, articles from accredited journals, besides that tertiary legal materials consist of legal dictionaries.  This journal begins with a formulation of the meaning of the application of the Nebis In Idem principle.  Then describes descriptively the relationship between Article 10 of PERMA No. 1 of 2002 concerning Class Action Procedures with Article 1917 of the Civil Code. It can be concluded that the theoretical basis of this principle is solely to provide legal protection for a person's human rights, so that a person is not tried for the same case and prioritizes legal certainty and does not let the government repeatedly talk about the same event.
