Authors: Rodriguez del Cueto Fernando , Carrero Pazos Miguel
Published: June 2021

El actual concejo de Salas (Asturias, España) agrupa un conjunto de unos 70 túmulos que están siendo objeto de análisis dentro del proyecto de La Cobertoria. El estudio implica la revisión de los datos sobre túmulos prehistóricos disponibles en el inventario arqueológico, realizado en 1990, incorporando posicionamientos precisos, nuevas descripciones, así como el uso de LiDAR. Los principales datos recabados en estos aspectos, mediante prospecciones de campo y remotas, se presentan en este trabajo. El proyecto ha englobado cuatro necrópolis diferentes, concentradas en dos sectores geográficos específicos del concejo, la zona noroccidental y la suroccidental. El análisis está aportando datos concretos acerca de cada estructura individual, su evolución y sus características, así como sobre las necrópolis, para así buscar una comprensión clara de su ubicación en el paisaje prehistórico.
Depósito de denarios procedente de Los Villares, La Encarnación (Caravaca de la Cruz, Murcia)
Authors: Martínez Chico David
Published: June 2021

Con este trabajo documentamos un depósito compuesto por dos denarios republicanos y cuatro imperiales. El conjunto monetal cierra durante los años 125-128 d.C., bajo el reinado de Adriano, cuya importancia radica en su procedencia: Los Villares, yacimiento ibérico del que se piensa no tiene continuidad en fechas avanzadas. La comprensión de los yacimientos murcianos de Los Villares y Los Villaricos se encuentra en un estado incipiente. En este contexto, el hallazgo numismático se suma a las antiguas y nuevas evidencias que sugieren dudosamente la situación de la Res Publica Assotana en el Estrecho de las Cuevas de La Encarnación (Caravaca de la Cruz, Murcia).
El bronce celtibérico de El Castillo de Rabanera (Ventosa, San Pedro Manrique, Soria)
Authors: Alfaro Peña Eduardo , Ferrer i Jané Joan , Gómez-Pantoja Fernandez-Salguero Joaquín
Published: June 2021

En este estudio se presenta la edición de un fragmento de lámina de bronce hallado irregularmente en el yacimiento celtibérico de El Castillo de Rabanera (San Pedro Manrique, Soria) que contiene una inscripción en lengua celtibérica y escritura epicórica occidental en el que se identifican algunos de los elementos léxicos más característicos de este tipo de soportes, como auzar[es y ueizui. El elemento más problemático de este nuevo texto es el símbolo al principio de la tercera línea, que podría estar reproduciendo la misma casuística que la ya documentada en el bronce Res. Los principales paralelos tanto formales como de contenido de esta inscripción son los bronces de Cortono, ‘Res’, Luzaga y Torrijo. Otro elemento destacado de la inscripción es riounu, que probablemente identifica alguna de las ciudades o personas intervinientes en el documento, quizás a la propia ciudad emisora del documento.

Published: June 2021

Segregation wall played a pivotal role in making the renewable energy sector in Palestine insecure. This study assesses the direct and indirect effects of the Segregation Wall on investment in renewable energy in Palestine. Elucidate the possibility of confronting the policy of imposing unilateral sovereignty and clarifying the depth of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict over energy sector and renewable energy sector by separating residential complexes, which exacerbated the economic problems in various governorates. The study also showed that the Palestinians are highly dependent on the Israeli occupation in the energy sector, which makes the idea of dependence of the Israeli occupation economy. The historical approach has been used to follow up the Israeli occupation policy in the energy sector, in addition to using the descriptive approach and analyzing the investment policy in renewable energy sector. The construction of 771km wall forced more than 41% of the Palestinians to abandon the lands that were confiscated from the lands close to the segregation wall, the wall confiscated many mountainous areas in West Bank that could be used to operate wind turbines. In addition to that 47.6% of Palestinian families lost their local source of income due to the construction of the segregation Wall, and the occupation authorities have demolished and closed many economic establishments near the segregation wall. The study recommended the importance of developing strategic plans by governmental and non-governmental agencies to promote investment in renewable energy, as the wall caused the demolition and closure of many economic institutions, which contributed to an increase in the poverty rate, which made it difficult to invest in renewable energy.

Published: June 2021

The article reveals the historical preconditions for the development of economic integration of Ukraine and the Visegrad Four from the standpoint of challenges relevant to the region of Central and Eastern Europe. The co-existence of the Rus’ people (ancient Ukrainians) with the Czech, Polish, Hungarian and Slovak ethnic groups is outlined, highlighting the significant events. They are presented in the context of building good neighbourly relations through overcoming contradictions. V4 is considered as an association of new political and economic order within the framework of European integration processes. The routes of economic integration of Ukraine and V4 have been assessed, revealing that this process is mainly limited to import operations and excludes real sector of the economy. A concept is developed for the V4+UA economic space, specifying the creation of a regionally integrated machine industry with fragmented production within a global-scale network and high added value.

This research aims to analyze how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are included in the EU cultural policies and which are the priorities of the European Union (EU) in the cultural sustainability’s agenda. We performed a content analysis of the EU Countries’ cultural policies, evaluating the grade of inclusion of the SDGs. The conclusions show that the EU cultural policies, although not explicitly, include the SDGs in the definition of their strategies, policies, projects and actions. Specifically, eight of the seventeen SDGs are included in relation to the following interdisciplinary topics: Cultural and Natural Heritage (SDG11), Cultural Education (SDG 4), Cultural Diversity (SDG 4), Social Inclusion (SDG 10), Information Access (SDG 16), Cooperation with other institutions (SDG 17), Environment (SDG 13), Economic Growth (SDG 8) and Gender Equality (SDG 5). Topics’ priorities are generally commonly defined in the different EU countries.
Architectural and Urban Education in Egypt in the Post Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Elrawy Sara , Abouelmagd Doaa
Published: June 2021

Quality of education is a global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to be achieved by the united nations by 2030. The covid-19 pandemic resulted in a significant problem in education worldwide and Egypt with problems related to the shift to distance learning and accessibility to technology and facilities supporting this shift. This paper aims to contribute to the currently ongoing research that asses the changes in architecture and urban education due to the Coronavirus pandemic, including the shift to distance learning in the practical courses that initially need studio work. The state of distance education via the Internet is difficult for architectural teaching curricula. Most studio environment courses require in-class follow-up. In developing countries like Egypt, not all architecture schools are equipped to move to e-learning, and most have not dealt with this before. This paper assesses student satisfaction and analyzes the entire process of distance learning in practical architectural courses during the coronavirus pandemic in Egypt. the research applies a quantitative and qualitative approach. A questionnaire was designed and distributed; 304 students from 17 Egyptian schools of architecture responded. A survey and series of interviews were completed among twelve schools of architecture in Egypt to analyze their responses during the crises and study the shift to e-learning in teaching the practical courses. The paper shows that the psychological effect and working solo from home have affected the students the most. There is a need to solve the internet problems, train the staff and the students to use the online tools for virtual classes, and provide a stable e-learning platform. The future of the traditional studio environment is under questioning. This study responds to the urgent need to evaluate the effect of Covid-19 on architecture education and to question the studio environment in the future to achieve a sustainable higher education in schools of architecture in Egypt.
Characterization of amylase and protease activity in the digestive tract of two teleosts (Labeo rohita and Anabas testudineus) with diﬀerent feeding habits
Authors: Debnath Sanjeet , Saikia Surjya Kumar
Published: June 2021

Two teleosts (Rohu, Labeo rohita and Koi, Anabas testudineus), both with contrasting feeding habits (herbivorous versus carnivorous) were studied for amylase and protease activity concerning different regions of their digestive tracts. Significant differences in enzymatic activity across different regions of the digestive tracts were observed. Rohu, with three equal regions of the stomachless gut, showed the highest amylolytic activity at the posterior digestive tract but the highest proteolytic activity is limited to mid region. Contrary to such observation, Koi with three distinct regions of the digestive tract (stomach, pyloric caeca and intestine), the pyloric caeca exhibited the highest specific activity for both amylase and total protease. The optimum pH and temperature conditions were determined concerning the activity for both amylase and protease.

Authors: Jadczak A.D. , Mahajan N. , Visvanathan R.
Published: June 2021

Geriatric assessment tools are applicable to the general geriatric population; however, their feasibility in frail older adults is yet to be determined. The study aimed to determine the feasibility of standardised geriatric assessment tools and physical exercises in hospitalised frail older adults. Various assessment tools including the FRAIL Screen, the Charlson Comorbidity Index, the SF-36, the Trail Making Test (TMT), the Rapid Cognitive Screen, the Self Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF) and the Lawton iADL as well as standard physical exercises were assessed using observational protocols. The FRAIL Screen, MNA-SF, Rapid Cognitive Screen, Lawton iADL and the physical exercises were deemed to be feasible with only minor comprehension, execution and safety issues. The TMT was not considered to be feasible and the SF-36 should be replaced by its shorter form, the SF-12. In order to ensure the validity of these findings a study with a larger sample size should be undertaken.
RELATIONSHIP OF SERUM CARNITINE LEVEL WITH FALLS AND GAIT DISTURBANCE IN THE ELDERLY
Authors: Nagai K. , Koshiba H. , Shibata S. , Hirasawa A. , Ebihara T. , Kozaki K.
Published: June 2021

Background: Gait disturbance and falls are serious events that can impair activities of daily living (ADL) in the elderly. On the other hand, carnitine plays essential roles in energy production, and carnitine deficiency leads to low activity levels. Objectives: We examined whether a lower serum carnitine concentration was correlated with falls and gait disturbances in the elderly. Design, Setting, and participants: We performed a cross-sectional study. One hundred and ninety-eight elderly patients (male, 83; female, 115; 81 ± 6 years old) were enrolled in this study. Measurements: Physical performance (hand grip strength, leg strength, walking speed, one-leg standing time, and tandem gait steps) and frailty status (The Edmonton Frail Scale: EFS) were evaluated. The serum total, free, and acylated carnitine levels were measured using an enzyme cycling method. We then investigated the associations between the serum carnitine level, history of falls, and the results of these physical examinations. Results: Of the 198 subjects, 56 (28%) had a history of falls within the past one year. The patients with a history of falls had lower serum total carnitine and free carnitine levels than those without a history of falls. Regarding the physical performance results, the patients with a history of falls had higher EFS scores, a weaker hand grip strength, a slower walking speed, a shorter one-leg standing time, and a smaller number of tandem gait steps than those without a history of falls. A logistic regression analysis showed that the low serum total carnitine concentration was identified as an independent factor associated with a history of falls, a slow walking speed after adjustments for age, sex and modified EFS. Conclusions: A low serum carnitine level is associated with a history of falls and gait disturbances in elderly people.
MEASURING FRAILTY AMONG OLDER PEOPLE: FURTHER EVALUATION OF THE BRODY FRAILTY INDEX
Authors: Jakobsson U.
Published: June 2021

Background & Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity of the Brody self-report frailty index among older people. Design, setting & measurements: A longitudinal cohort study (2-years) conducted in Sweden, which included 1141 respondents, aged 65–103 years. Data were collected during 2011-2013 through a postal questionnaire with questions about demographic data, living conditions, self-reported health, ADL dependency (ADL-staircase) and frailty (the Brody frailty index). Results: The total sample was comprised of 53 percent women and the mean age was 74.5 years (SD 7.0). The mean frailty index score at baseline was 0.12 and increased with higher age (rs= 0.819) as well as with increased ADL dependency (rs = 0.740). The analyses showed high percentage of correctly classified cases (97.1-98.2), high specificity (98.1-98.4) but low sensitivity (22.2-66.7). Conclusion: The self-report frailty index seems to be a valid measure of current frailty, but its predictive validity was found to be non-acceptable especially regarding the instrument’s sensitivity. Such instrument can be useful to predict frailty and allocate resources in the care of older people.

Published: June 2021

Plasminogen deficiency (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that results in the formation of fibrin-rich pseudomembranes, which impair wound-healing capacity. We report a 21-year-old man with congenital PD-associated inflammatory bowel disease. After an episode of Clostridioides difficile infection, he developed chronic diarrhea. Colonoscopy revealed moderate friability and erythema of the colon. Histology showed fibrin deposits in the lamina propria of the colonic mucosa with surrounding inflammation and focal ulceration. He was treated with infliximab and achieved clinical remission. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of colonic involvement of PD.

Authors: Minina E , Novikova V , Novikov P , Babenko A
Published: June 2021

Objective. The role of the GLCCI1 gene polymorphism (rs37973) analysis in children with bronchial asthma (BA). Methods. The study involved 60 children 3-17 years old with allergic (n=37) and mixed forms of BA (n=23). The genetic study included performing genotyping of the studied locus of the GLCCI1 gene (rs37973) by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism). Results. Analysis of the frequency of genotypes and alleles occurrence established the predominance of heterozygotes (AG) and allele G in the study group. There were statistically significantly higher indices of VC, FVC, FEV1 and MEF75 (according to spirometry data) with a heterozygous genotype (AG) in comparison with a homozygous GG (p<0,05). At the same time, there was a statistically significantly greater number of children with a FEV1 level ≥80% (p=0,009) when comparing the same subgroups of genotypes. Conclusion. The study revealed the association of GLCCI1 gene polymorphism (rs37973) with the respiratory function according to spirometry data. The presence of a heterozygous gene variant (AG) determined higher indicators of the function of respiratory function (VC, FVC, FEV1, MEF75). The study with the establishment of the GLCCI1 gene (rs37973) genotype can be used to diagnose a prognostically favorable and unfavorable course of asthma in children, which should be taken into account when choosing various basic methods of therapy and rehabilitation.

Published: June 2021

The search for non-invasive criteria for the differential diagnosis of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis is one of the urgent tasks of hepatology. Purpose: to evaluate the diagnostic and economic efficiency of differential diagnostic schemes for the determination of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis of alcoholic and unspecified etiology, based on the determination of interleukin-13, alpha-1-defensin and enzymatic activities in blood serum. Material and method: The study included 41 patients with chronic hepatitis, 102 patients with liver cirrhosis of alcoholic and unspecified etiology. The control group included 43 donors from the blood transfusion station. The levels of enzymatic activities, interleukin-13 and alpha-1-defensin of blood serum were determined. Results: Hyaluronidase and elastase activities, as well as serum interleukin-13 and alpha-1-defensin, showed high diagnostic efficiency in detecting chronic diffuse inflammatory liver diseases, and trypsin-like and deoxyribonuclease activities in differential diagnosis of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. The developed differential diagnostic schemes allow differentiating chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis with a high odds ratio and have a high economic effect in comparison with Fibrotest and liver biopsy. The inclusion of interleukin-13 and alpha-1-defensin in the examination scheme allows to increase the diagnostic efficiency. Conclusions: Schemes for the differential diagnosis of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis based on enzymatic activity, interleukin-13 and alpha-1-defensin of blood serum allow to improve the results of diagnostic measures, and also have a high economic effect in comparison with Fibrotest and liver biopsy.

The urban renewal approach is generally carried out with both physical and economic appoach. A community-based development/urban renewal approach is used for long-term results, therefore it is rarely done. Community based urban renewal study is very important because the impact is more sustainable. Urban renewal of red-light district Putat Jaya Surabaya is carried out to resolve the pressure and social economic change, which is the closing of Dolly and Jarak (Putat Jaya). The Government of Surabaya has been using a community based approach in conducting the renewal, but in doing so the Government of Surabaya has no reference, especially the know-how mechanism of a community based development. This study aims to evaluate and formulate a community-based urban renewal mechanism, so that it can be a reference in the implementation of urban renewal. The results showed that the efforts made by the Surabaya of Government had not fully met the principles of community-based urban renewal where the community had a central role in the preparation and implementation of plans and monitoring of the results of urban renewal in a participatory manner.
Premature fetal closure of the ductus arteriosus of unknown cause – could it be influenced by maternal consumption of large quantities of herbal chamomile tea – a case report?
Authors: Medjedovic Edin , Begic Zijo , Begic Edin , Iglica Amer , Begic Nedim , Muftic Amela , Stanojevic Milan
Published: June 2021

Objectives

The aim of this article was to present a case of premature fetal closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) of unknown cause.

Case presentation

A 32-year-old pregnant woman came for the regular prenatal visit at 36 + 1 weeks of gestation (WG) at which oligohydramnios and premature closure of DA were revealed. Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was excluded by the history, although the patient had the symptoms of common cold 2 weeks before the check-up taking more than 1,000 mL of strong chamomile tea daily till the day before the prenatal visit. The patient was hospitalized at 36 + 1 weeks of gestation due to premature closure of DA and oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid index = 4.5/3), which was the indication to deliver the baby by cesarean section at 36 + 6 WG (birth weight was 2,830 g, birth length 49 cm and head circumference 34 cm, Apgar score at 1 and 5 min were 9/9). Postnatal course was uneventful, and postnatal echocardiography at 12 h of life revealed functionally closed DA and mild dysfunction of the right ventricle, which completely resolved after 7 days. The mother and the baby were discharged home healthy, and were doing well 3 months after delivery.

Conclusions

Although the cause of premature closure of DA in most of the cases will remain undetected, thorough history sometimes with unexpected events should be taken under the consideration as possible causative factor for premature DA closure, as was drinking of high quantities of chamomile tea in our case.
Expressing intent, imminence and ire by attributing speech/thought in Mongolian
Authors: Brosig Benjamin
Published: June 2021

Quoted clauses in which an intention is declared are cross-linguistically known to develop into clauses that directly ascribe an intention to their subjects, and further into clauses that express the imminence of an event. In Khalkha Mongolian, several quotative constructions based on the quotative verb ge- have come to ascribe intention and then developed further semantic extensions:

(i)

The pattern -x ge-, featuring a fossilized Middle Mongol future-referring participial suffix, is used in a group of constructions that cover the semantic space between future time reference, intention (initially of the current speaker), and imminence.

(ii)

Quotational clauses ending in a particular tense-aspect-evidentiality suffix (including -n) and subordinated by a linking converb ge-ž/ge-ed are often systematically ambiguous between quotation and their purposive, causal and concessive extensions. Noun phrases with similar properties additionally allow for (dedicational-)benefactive and (allocational-)functive uses.

(iii)

The pattern -n ge-, which in other Central Mongolic varieties resembles -x ge-, conveys the speaker’s disbelief and anger about an actor’s willful deeds when used in echo questions marked by -n=AA.

Based on conversational corpus data, this paper tries to provide a comprehensive picture of Khalkha Mongolian constructions in which the speaker’s awareness of the subject’s speech or thoughts is reinterpreted as attributing intentions and their derived notions.

Authors: Al Hashmi Iman , Abu Sharour Loai Mohammad , Arulappan Judie , Al Hadid Lourance , Nandy Karabi
Published: June 2021

Objectives

The aim of this pilot psychometric study was to develop and assess the reliability, validity, and applicability of a nursing clinical assessment tool (NCAT) to assess students’ clinical performance in the clinical training.

Methods

Total of 325 forms were completed by 36 clinical raters for undergraduate nursing students who were selected using convenience sampling. International quality and safety education for nurses (QSEN) and Benson and Clark’s model guided the construction of the NCAT. Following literature review, a cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric testing were used.

Results

This newly developed tool showed substantial overall internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74). Three factors (i.e. Care Provider, Leadership & Team Work and Professionalism and Ethical Considerations) were identified for construct validity using exploratory factor analysis (EFA).

Conclusions

This study suggests that the NCAT is a reliable, valid and applicable tool. It can be used in clinical and educational settings. Further testing of the tool in similar and different cultures is recommended.
GLM based auto-regressive process to model Covid-19 pandemic in Turkey
Authors: Alin Aylin
Published: June 2021

Objectives: Our objective is to propose a robust approach to model daily new cases and daily new deaths due to covid-19 infection in Turkey.

Methods: We consider the generalized linear model (GLM) approach for the autoregressive process (AR) with log link for modelling. We study the data between March 11, 2020 that is the date first confirmed case occurred and October 20, 2020. After a month of the first outbreak in Turkey, the first official curfew has been imposed during the weekend. Since then there have been curfews each weekend till June 1st. Hence, we include intervention effects as well as some outlying data points in the model where necessary. We use the data between March 11 and September 15 to build the models, and test the performance on the data from September 16 till October 20. We also study the consistency of the model statistics.

Results: Estimated models fit data quite well. Results reveal that after the first curfew daily new Covid-19 cases decrease 18.5%. As expected, effect of the curfew gets more significant once a month is past, and daily new cases cut down 24.9%. Our approach also gives a robust estimate for the effective reproduction number that is approximately 2 meaning as of October 20, 2020 there is still a risk for an infected person to cause 2 secondary infections despite all the interventions, preventions, and rules.

Conclusion: The GLM approach for AR process with log link produces consistent and robust estimates for the daily new cases and daily new deaths for the data covering almost the first year of the pandemic in Turkey. The proposed approach can also be used to model the cases in other countries.
Die Modernisierung der russischen Streitkräfte
Authors: Hackett James
Published: June 2021

Kurzfassung

Die gegenwärtigen Streitkräfte Russlands werden seit den 90er Jahren transformiert. Die Bemühungen, das Militär zu modernisieren, neu auszurüsten und zu reformieren, führten zu Streitkräften, die heute kleiner, besser ausgestattet und besser ausgebildet sind und die auf einem höheren Stand der Einsatzbereitschaft gehalten werden als ihre sowjetischen Vorgänger. Während es anfangs das Ziel war, in begrenzten Konflikten an der russischen Peripherie einzugreifen, steht spätestens seit 2014 auch das Ziel im Vordergrund, einen größeren konventionellen Krieg mit dem Westen ausfechten zu können. Der Erfolg der Reform- und Neuausrüstungspläne wäre ohne die entsprechende Aufstockung der Budgetmittel nicht möglich gewesen. Allerdings ist die Finanzierung nach wie vor von den ökonomischen Realitäten abhängig. Alle Teilstreitkräfte haben von einer besseren Finanzausstattung profitiert. Die größten Nutznießer waren die Strategischen Streitkräfte und die Luft- und Weltraumkräfte, während die Seestreitkräfte Mühe hatten, die Zielvorgaben für Überwasserschiffe zu erfüllen. Auch die Beschaffungsziele für die Landstreitkräfte wurden in einigen Schlüsselbereichen wie bei schweren Panzern verfehlt. Der Modernisierungsprozess hat keine Streitkräfte hervorgebracht, die es bezüglich Fähigkeiten und Größe in einem längeren, uneingeschränkten konventionellen Krieg mit den Vereinigten Staaten und der NATO aufnehmen könnten, aber dies war wahrscheinlich auch nie das Ziel. Russlands politischer Führung stehen heute gut ausgerüstete konventionelle Streitkräfte zur Verfügung, deren personelles Rückgrat Berufssoldaten statt Wehrpflichtige bilden.

The penetration of renewable energies of Direct Current (DC) to the Distribution Network of Direct Current of Medium Voltage (MVDC) is already a reality. Therefore, extensive planning is required for its location in the electrical network. The implementation of this energy brings great advantages to the system since it contributes to the reduction of losses, improvement of the voltage profile, greater reliability in the system since there is generation of the photovoltaic system installed and of the distribution company. This article was carried out through a bibliographic review of the bases IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis and related academic knowledge, identifying several positive and negative aspects of this new reality of renewable energy, in the same way it was analyzed the Energy Storage System (BESS) and the impact of Electric Vehicles (EV) on distribution networks.

Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first detected in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China, and has since taken on worldwide proportions. It is known that individuals with Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) have systemic clinical manifestations. Among the multisystemic effects, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is responsible for high mortality rates. In this sense, understanding the association between CVT and SARS-CoV-2 infection directly impacts the disease's morbidity and mortality. Methodology: Literature review in the PubMed and Embase databases, with the following search terms: “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “Venous thromboembolism”, “Thrombosis”, “Cerebral Venous Thrombosis”, “Intracranial Sinus Thrombosis” and “Cranial Sinus Thrombosis”. The selected articles were written in English, which addressed the various aspects of COVID-19. Results and discussion: CVT are a rare complication of COVID-19, with an incidence between 0.02 to 1% of hospitalized patients. However, it can reach about 75% of mortality in affected individuals. Pathophysiology seems to be associated with the state of hypercoagulability and the systemic inflammatory process resulting from viral infection. Thus, recent studies show a consensus on the early anticoagulation of patients affected by the virus, to reduce mortality in these cases. However, the differences between the types of anticoagulation, Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH), Unfractionated Heparin (UFH), Dabigatran have not yet been well established, although there is a predilection for the use of LMWH. Also, thrombectomy is a therapeutic intervention option that should be evaluated, due to the risk of additional endothelial injury from the use of stent retrievers. Conclusion: Although it has a relatively low incidence, CVT aggravates the condition and increases the risk of death for patients with COVID-19. Because of this, early diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic options for CVT are essential for the development of clinical management.

У роботі з’ясовано, що у світі зростає кількість захворювань, пов’язаних із порушенням балансу поживних речовин у щоденному раціоні людей. З цією метою обґрунтовано необхідність створення нових продуктів із збалансованим хімічним складом. Обґрунтовано доцільність використання кісточок сливи та дерену як сировини для виробництва олії. Досліджено хімічний склад олії з кісточок сливи та олії з кісточок дерену. З’ясовано, що олія з кісточок сливи має наближене до оптимального співвідношення жирних кислот. А в олії з кісточок дерену виявлено деякі відхилення від оптимального співвідношення жирних кислот. Крім того, вміст токоферолів в даних оліях вищий, ніж в традиційних оліях. Встановлено, що жирнокислотний склад традиційних олій не відповідає оптимальному співвідношеню насичених, мононенасичених та поліненасичених жирних кислот, а олії у нативному вигляді з «ідеальним» складом жирних кислот відсутні. Тому доцільним вирішенням цієї проблеми є створення купажів з різних видів олій. Розроблено купажі з олією з кісточок дерену та соєвою і соняшниковою оліями. Встановлено, що біологічна цінність жиру отриманих купажів відповідає оптимальному співвідношенню жирних кислот. Крім того, отримано купаж, який можна рекомендувати для лікувального харчування.

Мета Дослідити вплив високого тиску на соєвий білок та його головні інгредієнти: гліциніни 7S та 11S та зміни технологічних та функціональних властивості соєвих білків. Результати. Проаналізовано функціональні властивості соєвого білка, 7S та 11S гліцинінів, оброблених високим тиском, їх емульсійні властивості, здатність утримувати воду, властивості гелю. Досліджено вплив значень параметрів тиску, часу та температури процесу на соєвий білок, 7S та 11S гліциніни за змінами їх структури, конформацій, технологічних та функціональних властивостей. Обробка високим тиском ізолята соєвого білка покращує їх реологічні властивості, властивості гелю та вміст зв’язаної вологи. Обробка високим тиском при обгрунтованих параметрах процесу соєвого білка, гліцинінів 7S та 11S збільшила вміст зв’язаної вологи, покращила властивості гелю та емульсії, вплинула на нековалентні та ковалентні зв’язки та конформацію білка, а також зменшила алергенність соєвих білків у харчових продуктах, включаючи дитячі суміші. Незважаючи на великі зусилля, механізм обробки високим тиском соєвого білка, 7S та 11S гліцину все ще недостатньо зрозумілий, що ускладнює отримання чіткого і однозначного уявлення про їх поведінку. Висновки. Використання комбінації засобів високого тиску та ізоляту соєвого білка може поліпшити функціональні та споживчі властивості соєвого білка та безпеку харчових продуктів.

Бурштин (сукциніт) є потенційним джерелом комплексу натуральних біологічно активних компонентів, які перспективно використовувати за цільовим призначенням у різних галузях промисловості. У представленій роботі досліджується широкий спектр різнополярних розчинників для екстрагування цільових компонентів з бурштину Волинського видобутку (Україна), відзначається їх вплив на ефективність даного процесу та якісні характеристики отриманого екстракту. Для ряду органічних розчинників досліджено ефективність вилучення розчинних сухих речовин як кількісної характеристики розчинника. За таким показником встановлено, що найкращими екстрагентами є уайт спірит, етанол, ацетон та петролейний етер. Як показник кількісної ефективності вилучення забарвлених речовин, що представлені в сировині фракцією смоли, можна використовувати величину оптичної густини екстрактів, при цьому найбільш високі її значення отримано у випадку ацетону та етанолу. Величина окисно-відновного потенціалу одержаних екстрактів збільшується в процесі екстрагування усіма розчинниками окрім води, з якою цей показник не змінювався. Зміну кольору та структури отриманого шроту ілюстровано фотографями зовнішнього вигляду бурштину після екстрагування. Встановлено, що найбільш ефективними для екстрагування цільових компонентів з бурштину є малополярні розчинники, такі як ацетон та етанол, які в змозі вилучати як гідрофільні, так і гідрофобні речовини. У галузях, що працюють з технологіями та продуктами з високими вимогами до безпечності, для екстрагування цільових компонентів з бурштину доцільно використовувати етанол.

Серед хімічних речовин, які потрапляють до атмосфери, леткі органічні сполуки (ЛОС) у всьому світі класифікуються як небезпечні забруднювачі повітря. Важливою групою ЛОС є хлороорганічні сполуки, що широко використовуються у промисловості, у таких галузях, як виробництво миючих та знежирюючих засобів; у якості екстрагентів, добавок до барвників, чорнил та клеїв; як сировина для синтеза лікарськіх засобів, пестицидів та полімерів; як розчинники. Наявність цих сполук у повітрі являє значну небезпеку для здоров’я людини з-за вираженої токсичності, високої стабільності та стійкості у навколишньому середовищі. У даній роботі досліджена каталітична активність щодо реакцій окиснення дихлорометана (DCM) та перхлороетилена (PCE) загалом шести металів зі вмістом γ-Al2O3. У якості активних речовин використовували Pt і Pd окремо. До початку експериментів із каталізаторами оптимізували подачу води. Найбільш активним щодо окиснення DCM серед досліджених виявив себе каталізатор Pt/ Al2O3.

Published: June 2021

Розроблено нову методику синтезу мідь-карбонового нанокомпозиту з використанням синтетичних гумінових речовин як джерела Карбону. В основу методики покладено піроліз купрум(ІІ) гумату, який проводили як у відновлюючій водневій, так і інертній атмосфері. Структуру та властивості Сu/C нанокомпозиту охарактеризовано методом рентгенівської дифракції, ІЧ-спектроскопії, просвічуючої електронної мікроскопії, елементного аналізу. Пористу структуру Сu/C нанокомпозиту досліджено методом об’ємної адсорбції азоту. В умовах синтезу формується карбонова матриця з дуже низьким ступенем впорядкованості. Встановлено, що розмірні та структурні харакеристики наночастинок міді залежать від умов синтезу і варіюються від 40 до 80 нм. Проведення синтезу у відновній атмосфері дозволяє одержати мідь-вуглецеві нанокомпозити, що не містять фази купрум(І) оксиду або купрум(ІІ) оксиду. Встановлено, що підвищення температури піролізу сприяє вдосконаленню будови кристалічної ґратки металічної фази, підвищенню ступеня карбонізації органічної складової та зміні текстурних характеристик від мезопористих до мікропористих.
