The importance of anti-inflammatory diet in depression: a literature review and recommendations
Authors: Wingralek Zuzanna Joanna , Miś Paweł , Wróblewski Hubert , Zimna Aleksandra , Rog Joanna
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The etiopathogenesis of depression consists of genetic, metabolic, hormonal and psychogenic factors. The pathological process increases the risk and worsens the course of the disorder in chronic low-grade inflammation. Nutrition affects the pro-/anti-inflammatory state, and an anti-inflammatory diet is a proposed form supporting the therapy of inflammatory diseases. The review aimed to determine the importance of an anti-inflammatory diet in supporting the treatment of mood disorders.

Materials and methods: The available literature was reviewed by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the following keywords: nutritional psychiatry, depression, anti-inflammatory diet from the inception to 10th February 2023. We characterized the anti-inflammatory diet, potential mechanisms of action, the epidemiological and intervention studies conducted so far focusing on this topic, as well as barriers to implementation and potentially harmful effects of its implementation.

Results: Observational studies show a link between the anti-inflammatory potential of diet and a lower risk of developing mood disorders. The pro-inflammatory profile of the diet is associated with higher severity of depressive symptoms. On the other hand, an anti-inflammatory diet has a beneficial effect on the brain-gut axis and the intestinal microbiota, which are involved in the development of depressive disorders.

Conclusions: It is necessary to increase clinical practitioners' and patients' knowledge of the impact of nutrition on mental health. Our team developed recommendations for an anti-inflammatory diet adapted to Polish conditions based on the guidelines. In the case of patients' barriers to implementation, encouraging partial implementation of the recommendations is advised.

Perceptions of abortion access across the United States prior to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision: Results from a national survey
Authors: Crawford Brandon L. , Simmons Megan K. , Turner Ronna C. , Lo Wen‐Juo , Jozkowski Kristen N.
Published: July 2023

Context

Abortion is common in the United States (US), although access is becoming more difficult for some. In addition to restrictive policies that ban most abortion, limit the number of providers and increase costs, barriers to access also include less supportive cultural climates and stigma related to abortion. Prior to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision of the United States Supreme Court, research suggested that people generally believed it was easy to access abortion, but this research did not examine the underlying factors that drive these perceptions.

Methods

In 2019, using data from closed and open‐ended survey questions, we examined differences in people's assessment of abortion access within the state they reside and factors that influence those perceptions. We recruited English‐ and Spanish‐speaking US adults (N = 2599) from Qualtrics' national panel using quota‐based sampling to participate in a web‐based survey. We used multinomial logistic regression to examine predictors of access perceptions across demographic characteristics and thematic analysis to analyze open‐ended responses.

Results

Fifty‐three percent of participants believed abortion was easy to access in their state. Spanish speakers and participants from legislatively “hostile” states were more likely to perceive access as difficult. Legality‐related knowledge and pro‐life identity were associated with perceiving abortion access as easy.

Conclusions

Prior to Dobbs, participants' interpretation of the ease or difficulty of accessing abortion were subjective. Misconceptions about state abortion laws and the prevalence of providers were common, suggesting a need for more education about abortion laws, policies, and access.
The doctor knows or the evidence shows: An online survey experiment testing the effects of source trust, pro-vaccine evidence, and dual-processing in expert messages recommending child COVID-19 vaccination to parents
Authors: Kikut Ava Irysa
Published: July 2023

Increasing child vaccination rates is a critical step toward mitigating the spread of COVID-19. Both distrust in expert sources and concern about the safety and efficacy of vaccines may contribute to parent vaccine hesitancy. The present study is the first to test the effectiveness of building trust and providing evidence supporting child COVID-19 vaccines in recommendation messages for parents. Based on dual-processing theories, emphasis on source trustworthiness and pro-vaccine evidence may each be particularly effective when the other is not present. It was hypothesized that these two approaches would have main and interaction effects on perceived message effectiveness and pro-vaccine beliefs. A between-subjects 2 (trust-building appeal vs. no trust-building appeal) X 2 (pro-vaccine evidence vs. no pro-vaccine evidence) online survey experiment was conducted in December 2021 and January 2022 with United States parents/guardians of children <18 years old (n = 401). As hypothesized, trust and pro-vaccine evidence each had significant simple main effects on both outcomes. Analysis of variance showed a significant negative interaction effect of trust and pro-vaccine evidence on perceived message effectiveness [F(3, 394) = 6.47; η2 = 0.02, p = 0.002; 95% CI (0.01, 0.11)], supporting the dual-processing hypothesis. The interaction effect on pro-vaccine beliefs was also negative but not significant [F(3, 394) = 2.69; η2 = 0.01; p = 0.102; 95% CI (0.00, 0.03)]. Either highlighting evidence supporting vaccines or building trust in expert sources can influence parent vaccine support. Messages which include strong evidence supporting recommended behaviors may influence recommendation acceptance even among those with lower trust in expert sources and establishing trust may reduce the need to describe available evidence.

Hypertension and dyslipidemia are key risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Despite the currently existing possibilities for the combined use of various classes of antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs, the problem of treating patients with a high risk of cardiovascular events has not lost its significance and its solution in a specific clinical situation often remains very difficult. The review analyzes current data on the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination of lisinopril, amlodipine and rosuvastatin to solve the problem of a personalized approach in the treatment of comorbid patients with a high risk of car­diovascular events.
Problematic issues and development of classifications of the main parameters of quality and adherence to pharmacotherapy. Part I: Patient adherence to treatment

Published: July 2023

The problem of patient adherence to treatment remains one of the most relevant for healthcare in most countries of the world. The solution of this problem is hindered by a number of reasons: no unified terminology, a "gold standard" for adherence assessment, and a universal standardized tactic for improving patient adherence to treatment. Despite the long history of research and a huge number of publications on adherence to therapy, there is still no classification of its types studied to date. In this regard, the purpose of this review and analytical work was to collect information on the main types of adherence/non-adherence identified to date and to develop, based on these data, a classification of adherence/non-adherence of patients to treatment. The search for literary sources was carried out by keywords. The analysis included publications for the last 20 years — 2003-2023. The categories of adherence were selected for the classification, relevant from the point of view of the general medical approach to the problem, the assessment of which is possible in real clinical practice. All types of adherence were grouped according to the leading feature. The developed classification of adherence/non-adherence of patients to treatment can serve as an additional tool for assessing adherence, which in the future may be useful in choosing strategy and possible ways to increase patients’ adherence to medical recommendations.

Published: July 2023

RESUMO Introdução A insuficiência renal reduz a expectativa de vida em um terço comparada à população em geral. Complicações cardiovasculares e baixa aptidão cardiorrespiratória (ACR) são as principais causas. Avaliamos a associação entre ACR muito baixa e risco de mortalidade por todas as causas em pacientes em HD. Métodos Este estudo de coorte prospectivo observacional acompanhou pacientes em HD de agosto/2015 a março/2022. Avaliou-se a aptidão cardiorrespiratória pelo teste de exercício cardiopulmonar, e o valor do pico do consumo de oxigênio (VO2pico) foi usado para determinar ACR muito baixa (< 15 mL∙kg−1∙min−1). Utilizamos regressão de Cox e análise univariada de Kaplan-Meier para avaliar associação da ACR muito baixa com o risco de mortalidade e taxa de sobrevida. Resultados Acompanhamos 48 pacientes por uma média de 33,0 [14,3 – 49,3] meses. Um total de 26 pacientes apresentaram ACR muito baixa. No período de acompanhamento, 11 pacientes (22,92%) foram a óbito por todas as causas. Destes, oito (30,8%) apresentavam ACR muito baixa. Mesmo assim, ACR muito baixa não foi associada a taxas brutas de mortalidade para pacientes estratificados por níveis de ACR (p = 0,189), nem em modelos de risco proporcional de Cox não ajustados (HR 2,18; IC 95% 0,58–8,23) ou ajustados (HR 1,32; IC 95% 0,31–5,59). Como variável contínua, VO2pico não foi associado ao risco de mortalidade (HR 1,01; IC 95% 0,84–1,21). A análise univariada de Kaplan-Meier mostrou que pacientes com ACR muito baixa não apresentaram taxas de sobrevida significativamente piores do que aqueles com ACR leve-moderada (p = 0,186). Conclusão Nossos achados indicaram que a ACR muito baixa não foi associada à mortalidade por todas as causas em pacientes em HD. Apesar de ACR muito baixa ser prevalente, são necessários estudos de coorte maiores para estabelecer conclusões sólidas sobre sua associação com mortalidade por todas as causas.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to evaluate angular progression of patients with a diagnosis of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), that await surgical treatment. Methods: This is an observational and descriptive study. Data were collected for age at initial surgical indication, initial date and Cobb angle, date and Cobb angle of the follow-up visit, time elapsed between the initial and follow-up visit, and type of curve. All recorded Cobb angles were reviewed by the authors. Results: 86.1% of the individuals were women, the mean age of indication for surgical treatment was 13.34 years. The most common type of curve was Lenke 3 and the one that progressed the most was Lenke 4. The general average of annual progression was 9.89 degrees for the primary curves and 12.32 for the secondary curves, and the follow-up was, on average, 35.77 months. Conclusion: The progression of the magnitude of the curve increases during the wait for the definitive treatment of AIS, no matter which group of the Lenke classification the curve belongs to. The secondary curves present a progression rate of 12.32º/year, higher than the main curve, which presents a rate of 9.89º/year. The waiting time has been increasing over the years, which is evident compared to older publications. Level of Evidence IV; Type of Study: Prognostic Study.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the isotopic signature of P. brasiliana captured in three different points along the river flow toward the sea of the Prumirim River, northern coast of the state of São Paulo/Brazil in order to test the hypothesis of similarity between isotopic signature of individuals living in separated areas of the river. Methods We used stable isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N) at three points of the river and ANOVA and Bayesian Ellipses analyses were performed. Results Our results showed that are a differential isotopic enrichment along the river course in 13C, providing important results on the environmental condition and anthropogenic impacts in the region. In addition, the food biology of P. brasiliana was characterized as a primary consumer corroborating with the detritivores feeding habit observed in previous studies of stomach content analysis. Conclusions Our research, limited to a single area along the northern coast of the state of São Paulo, uncovers intriguing findings that merit replication in other areas within the region. This is particularly crucial given the rising number of anthropogenic influences resulting from urban development, underscoring the need for improved monitoring of these areas.

Surgeons in the late 19th - 20th century performed radical mastectomies as the only possible treatment for breast cancers. Since then, the medical-surgical/scientific community has been constantly encouraged to develop and study different less invasive alternatives in breast reconstruction. Over time, locoregional perforator flap options have served as practical alternatives to implant-based reconstruction and abdominal flaps, especially in the setting of patients who have received radiation therapy or have a history of failed reconstruction, as they effectively fill the missing volume and respect the musculature of the donor site. Breast reconstruction using strategies with one of the different locoregional flaps can preserve the musculature and innervation of the post-mastectomy site, which manages to reduce possible adverse events. In addition to evaluating the anatomical characteristics of the defect and affected quadrant, it is essential to assess the patient's body constitution and the skills of the surgical team as well as microsurgery training when designing a reconstructive plan. Different research protocols should be developed in the study and development of new medical-surgical therapeutic alternatives; we suggest joint development with tissue engineering.

Published: July 2023

Because of their high efficiency, better starting torque, and minimal electrical noise, permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors are frequently used in a variety of industrial applications. The speed of PMBLDC motors is controlled by a variety of controllers. In this study, P, PI, and PID controllers are used to compare the speed control of a permanent magnet brushless DC motor drive powered by solar PV arrays. The Perturb & Observe (P&O) technique is used to find the MPPT. The drive system’s simulation results for various operation modes, such as constant and variable load circumstances, are examined and evaluated. When using a PID controller instead of a P or PI controller, the drive performs better at controlling speed. The MATLAB/Simulink software was used to model, control, and simulate the permanent magnet brushless DC motor drive. The whole drive system is put into operation with the help of the dSPACE MicroLab Box 1202.

Published: July 2023

Vitamin D deficiency is a world health problem because it affects more than one billion children and adults. This study aims to identify factors associated with vitamin D status in preschool children aged 48-59 months old. The study used a cross-sectional design on 96 preschool children aged 48-59 months old in Kendari city. The withdrawal of research subjects used a consecutive sampling method. Data on the characteristics of the respondents and the characteristics of the parents of the respondents were obtained through interviews using a questionnaire. A digital scale and a stadiometer determine nutritional status by measuring body weight and height. The Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) method was used to determine serum levels of 25(OH)D. Meanwhile, the data analysis used the Chi-Square test, Kolmogorov Smirnov, and independent sample T-test. The prevalence of preschool children aged 48-59 months with vitamin D deficiency was 9.4%, 57.3% insufficiency, and 33.3% sufficiency. There was no relationship between gender, BMI/U, physical activity, vitamin D admissions, length of sun presentation, parental income, and mother's education with vitamin D status of preschool children aged 48-59 months old in Kendari city (P > 0.05). In this case, a strategy is needed to increase vitamin D intake through mandatory vitamin D fortification in the food industry and evaluating the time and amount of light exposure to sunlight is required to prevent vitamin D deficiency in preschoolers.
Tracing the intersections of wāhine Māori, whakapapa and mana in the Native Land Court, 19th century Aotearoa 2
Authors: Taripo-Walter Inano
Published: July 2023

Connection to land through whakapapa is premised on mana inherited at birth from the atua. These fundamental principles have supported land claims in the Native Land Court since 1865 and were of importance to Ngāti Kahungunu women in the late 19th century. Yet, exactly how whakapapa and mana informed cases for wāhine Māori has been difficult to examine, due to the omnipresent patriarchal workings of the Native Land Court and its comprehension of customary principles. This article highlights the interconnected relationship between whakapapa and mana, wāhine Māori and the Native Land Court in Hawke’s Bay and adds to a more balanced gendered scholarship of the Native Land Court. I argue that the power of whakapapa and mana transcended into a Western infrastructure of land legislation and management—one of the first times these two systems of law had to intersect. Furthermore, for a small period in New Zealand’s nation-building histories, the Native Land Court respected these principles and also provided a platform for Māori women to become equal players in the management and distribution of tribal lands within a European legal framework. Yet, wāhine Māori involvement in tribal land affairs was not uncommon in Māori society because of whakapapa and mana. Centring wāhine Māori is vital to tribal narratives and history more broadly, but also in tracing the intersections of gendered roles in traditional Māori society, and European society, which was dependent on colonial patriarchal operations upheld by the Native Land Court.
Research on Application of Fractional Calculus Operator in Image Underlying Processing

Published: July 2023

The theory of fractional calculus extends the order of classical integer calculus from integer to non-integer. As a new engineering application tool, it has made many important research achievements in many fields, including image processing. This paper mainly studies the application of fractional calculus theory in image enhancement and denoising, including the basic theory of fractional calculus and its amplitude frequency characteristics, the application of fractional differential operator in image enhancement, and the application of fractional integral operator in image denoising. The experimental results show that the fractional calculus theory has more special advantages in image enhancement and denoising. Compared with the existing integer order image enhancement operators, the fractional differential operator can more effectively enhance the "weak edge" and "strong texture" details of the image. The fractional order integral image denoising operator can not only improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the image compared to traditional denoising methods, but also better preserve detailed information such as edges and textures of the image.

Published: July 2023

In order to improve the operating stability of the mine hoisting system and provide reference and guidance for monitoring the mining shaft deformation (MSD), the operating characteristics of the hoisting conveyance (OCHC) under MSD are studied. Firstly, a simplified finite element model based on spring element is established for analyzing the guide rail (GR) deformation law under MSD, and the deformation result calculated by ANSYS is transformed into the geometric model in the dynamics model. Secondly, the transversal-longitudinal coupling relationship of the guide roller (GRO) is analyzed, and it is deduced that the variation law of the contact relationship between the guide roller and rail (GROR) with its deformation and the HC position. On the basis of the above, the dynamics model of the mine hoisting system established by ADAMS is verified by experiment and used to analyze the operating characteristics (OC) under different types and degrees and connection states. The analysis results show that the deformation result transformation of GR can characterize the SD trend and the connection state between the bunton and shaft and GR under MSD and can realize the co-simulation of ANSYS and ADAMS, which makes the dynamic model can accurately reflect the OCHC under MSD. The displacement and vibration acceleration of HC in MSD direction, angular displacement (AD) around its vertical axis and buffer relative displacement (BRD) are highly sensitive to the deformation and contain prominent feature, which can realize the characterization of the deformation. The vibration acceleration of hoisting conveyance (VAHC) and the BRD in the deformation direction produce a prominent impact response to the disconnection between the bunton and guide rail (BGR). The disconnection of the bunton from shaft only changes the frequency and amplitude of the low-frequency oscillation of BRD near disconnection position. It can provide a basis for identifying MSD and mitigating its effect on HC.

Published: July 2023

With the rapid development of industry, the consumption of coal has been increasing, and several hundred millions tons of coal fly ash are produced annually worldwide. Direct application of coal fly ash to agricultural production poses ecological risk of heavy metal pollution with low land productivity. In this study, a field experiment of coal fly ash soil amendment was conducted in Hebei province, China. The coal fly ash soil field was added with the carrier soil (CS, without containing coal fly ash) at different rate (0–40% mass content) in 0-20cm top soil layer, mixed with a rotovator, and then added with 0.45–1.80 kg·m− 2 soil amendment G1 for planting maize. The effect of soil amendments on soil physicochemical properties, maize yield, especially on soil microbial community activities were investigated in coal fly ash soil field. The results showed that G1 amendment improved the soil chemical properties and physical structure by increasing soil bulk density and soil macroaggregates. The highest maize yield was observed in B5 treatment (20% CS and 1.3500 kg·m− 2 G1). Meanwhile, the abundance of microorganisms facilitating the circulation of soil nutrients such as Acidobacteria (77.05%), Sphingomonas (25.60%), Nitrospira (20.78%), Streptomyces (11.32%), and Gaiella (10.20%) was increased. Overall, our results reveal that coal fly ash soil amendment can improve soil microbial functions, thus enhancing soil sustainability. Our findings provide the reference for the development and application of coal fly ash soil amendments.
Employment effects of the Italian Jobs Act: An ex-post impact evaluation
Authors: Zeli Alessandro , Nascia Leopoldo
Published: July 2023

In 2015 Italy adopted a new labor market policy, the so-called Jobs Act (JA) that is aimed at fostering employment and reducing costs in firing employees. JA granted a relevant hiring subsidy in the form of relief on social security contributions. JA included a new regulation that lowered firing costs and made them less uncertain. In this paper we investigated how the Jobs Act previsions affects employment. We estimate the impact of Jobs Act relief on social security contributions and the effect of new firing rules on employment using a large sample of Italian firms and by applying a two-step procedure: propensity score matching and Difference-in-Difference estimation. The main finding is a weak temporary increase of new hiring due to lower labor costs and labor dismissal deregulation. Actually, the outcomes of this model do not signal a strong effect of these measures both for the employment changes and for flexible workers changes. The employment changes seem to be benefited more from new dismission rules than from de-contribution incentives.
Altruism and Private Investment in Human Capital
Authors: Accolley Delali
Published: July 2023

We developed a dynamic deterministic general equilibrium model that explains human capital accumulation through schooling. The model is characterized by altruism in the sense parents, caring about the welfare of their young children, impart them freely some knowledge and help them financially. The education regime is private and features distinguishing our model are: (1) the young households are economically active and (2) allocating time to schooling or labor causes disutility. We calibrated the model to some balanced growth facts observed in Quebec.
We show that the assumption that students are not economically active is at odds with observations and distorts the available estimators of the threshold level of altruism. According to our comparison of equilibria, students can incur debts, even when parent-tochild altruism is above its threshold level. Besides, they increase their labor supply and decrease curricular activities, as the level of altruism declines.
We have also simulated our model to investigate the impacts of the tuition rate and the ability to learn. When the tuition rate rises, on impact, the young substitute labor for education. But, in the long-run, the time allocated to education rises back towards its initial level. The physical capital stock and output remain higher. An improvement in the ability to learn generates qualitatively the opposite effects. Finally, we have used our findings to provide answers to some questions raised by the student crisis named Maple Spring Quebec witnessed following the decision of the government to increase tuition.

Pickering emulsion stabilized by lignin particles has many advantages such as high flexibility, natural non-toxicity, anti-oxidation and anti-ultraviolet. In order to promote the application of industrial lignin in the field of Pickering emulsions, this study has done a comparatively systematic and basic research on Pickering emulsions stabilized by lignin particles. The emulsification effects of lignin particles on cyclohexane and n-decanol which have opposite polarity were compared firstly under different oil-water ratios. It was found that stable emulsions formed when the three-phase contact angle of oil/water/lignin was closer to 90°. The weakly polar cyclohexane could be well-emulsified by lignin particles, while the strong polar n-decanol could hardly be. Cyclohexane was used as the oil phase to discuss the emulsification ability of lignin particles under different concentration or with different particle size. The results show increasing the concentration of lignin particles or reducing the particle size can improve the emulsification performance.
Variable-Section Functional Gradient Beams on Pasternak Foundations: An Enhanced Interaction Theory for Construction Applications

Published: July 2023

Functional gradient materials are ubiquitous in construction projects. Enhancing the theory of interaction between variable-section functional gradient beams (FGBs) and soil holds significant implications for engineering applications. Based on the variational principle and the transfer matrix method, this paper formulates semi-analytical solutions for displacement and internal force in the Timoshenko beam model (P-T model). The model features variable-section axial functional gradients on a Pasternak foundation. It accounts for the shear effects in the FGB structure and the soil's continuity and shear strength influences. Next, the semi-analytical solution is compared with finite difference decomposition results from existing studies. The comparison validates the proposed computational theory's precision and accuracy. The P-T model can degenerate to the Winkler-Timoshenko model (W-T model) when the foundation's shear layer stiffness is zero. Examining the displacement and internal force change when the beam stiffness varies along the axial direction reveals that an asymmetrical stiffness distribution on both sides of the midspan increases the displacement in the midsection. Moreover, when the beam stiffness gradient follows a Gaussian distribution along the axial direction, displacement sharply increases at the boundary position. Finally, the proposed method is incorporated with the Mindlin stress solution to assess the impact of construction on a tunnel existing within a foundation pit project in Shenzhen. We compare theoretical calculations, monitoring data, and numerical simulation results. The results show considerable agreement across the three methods. The tunnel's overall deflection follows an "M" shape, and the calculation using the variable-section FGB predicts the existing tunnel's deformation trend more accurately. This method reduces the calculation error from 35% to 8.3% in comparison to the traditional normal section beam.

The effect of shock indentation on the formation and propagation of the Portevin-Le Chatelier deformation bands in an aluminum-magnesium alloy was studied experimentally using acoustic emission and high-speed video recording methods. Dynamic and nonlinear responses to shock indentation are revealed: the first include high values of dynamic hardness and local strain and loading rates, and the second - threshold and multiple nature of force and acoustic responses. It is shown that the bands of macrolocalized deformation represent a latent bulk type of erosion damage, which reduces the mechanical stability and durability of the alloy. Keywords: contact shock, Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, deformation bands, fracture, aluminum-magnesium alloy.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, global populations have experienced quarantine and lockdown restrictions, adversely affecting individuals' psychological well-being. This comprehensive review aims to estimate the prevalence of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) within the general population amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing the PRISMA guideline, the databases PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane and Google Scholar were used in the data extraction process, and publications from December 2019 to 30th November 2022 were searched. A meta-analysis using the random effects model and an evaluation of heterogeneity using the I2 index was performed. The initial search yielded 264 studies, from which 11 were selected for this comprehensive review after eliminating duplicates and assessing study quality. The findings revealed an overall prevalence of PTSD among the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic at 19.34% (95% CI: 16.29-22.38%; I2 = 40.44%; <0.1). Subgroup analysis based on region and scale did not reveal significant differences between groups. Future research should focus on conducting additional studies to examine the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health status of the general population worldwide.
Corruption activities in the defence sector in martial law and the post-war period: characteristics and counteractions
Authors: Bondarenko O.S.
Published: July 2023

National security of the state is always a priority area for every state. Corruption in the defence sector is a problem that poses a serious threat to national security, economic stability, and public trust. The defence sector, which encompasses the military, defence procurement and related industries, plays a critical role in protecting the sovereignty of a country and its citizens, especially under martial law. However, when corruption permeates this sector, it can have far-reaching negative consequences.One of the main problems associated with corruption in the defence sector is the compromise of national security. Corrupt practices such as bribery, embezzlement and illegal arms trade can weaken a country’s defence capabilities by degrading the quality and efficiency of military equipment and services. This, in turn, endangers the lives of servicemen and the security of the entire nation.Corruption also distorts defence procurement processes, leading to inflated costs, substandard equipment, and limited competition. Unethical practices such as kickbacks and favouritism can undermine fair and transparent bidding procedures, preventing the selection of the most capable and cost-effective suppliers. As a result, limited resources are misallocated and taxpayer dollars are wasted, diverting funds from basic defence needs and undermining public trust in government institutions.To combat corruption in the defence sector, it is extremely important to prioritize anti-corruption measures and implement comprehensive strategies. This includes creating a strong legal framework and regulatory mechanisms, ensuring transparency, and developing areas of international cooperation. It has been proven that international cooperation in the field of defence is a platform for collective action, exchange of knowledge and mutual support in the fight against corruption. This strengthens the integrity of the defence establishment, promotes transparency in procurement processes and contributes to a global environment in which corruption is less likely to flourish.It is substantiated that the success of anticorruption measures in any field depends not only on the ability to respond to current manifestations of corruption and develop effective countermeasures, but also the ability to predict prospective changes and transformational processes in corruption and develop countermeasures. That is why it is already important to assess the potential “development” of corruption in the conditions of post-war reconstruction.
