Published: June 2021

The purpose. The purpose of this study is to reveal the features of the method of design thinking. Analyze design thinking, which consists of stages such as empathizing, defining, ideating, prototype, and testing. Introduce design techniques and tools that should be used at each stage of this process. Present the differences between the methods in the traditional (application of logical thinking) and non-standard (design thinking) approach. Design/Methodology/Approach . The study examines the hypothesis that applying the design thinking method in the context of a crisis is quite adequate, particularly in doing business during the COVID-19 pandemic. General scientific theoretical methods of research, particularly formalization, analysis, synthesis, systematization, and explanation, have been used to study the essence, advantages, and comparative characteristics of design thinking methods. Conclusions. The studies have shown that design thinking is cross-functional, customer-oriented, resource-saving, creative, and versatile. This confirms the hypothesis that this method should be used in times of crisis and the period of recovery. The practical application of design thinking requires a complete and clear understanding of its capabilities, the availability of the necessary resources, and all participants' interest in the observed outcome. The practical consequences/results of this study are of interest to managers and company heads who want to rethink and change the work processes, particularly regarding decision-making against the background of uncertainty. The quality and effectiveness of applying the design thinking method will depend on the qualification and efficiency of the team performance. It has been suggested to approach teams' formation carefully – they should balance analytical and design thinking in the best possible way. Team members must be aware of the challenge and diversity of use of their experience, including all functions starting from research and development to marketing and sales. For successful work, teams need to be given maximum independence; specific rules or restrictions must be general and minimal. The application of design thinking must be continuous. In general, this should be a way of doing business, not separate project works. Originality/value. This study emphasizes the effectiveness of the design thinking method and its incomplete application in domestic companies. It indicates the advantages, disadvantages, and differences from traditional methods. It is valuable for a deeper understanding and application in practice by managers at different levels.

Objective: to analyze the scientific literature sources inorder to study and systematize data on modern aspects ofdiagnosis and treatment of acute kidney injury in full-termnewborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.Perinatal asphyxia is a multisystem disorder resultingfrom redistribution of blood flow, with renal dysfunctionbeing one of the most common complications and reaching50% of other multi-organ lesions. Acute kidney injuryis a complicated multifocal syndrome manifested by aclinical decrease of the diuresis rate and characterized bya rapid increase of creatinine concentration in laboratoryconditions. High serum creatinine level is not a specificsign of kidney injury, its level changes much later thanglomerular filtration rate, and depends on many nonrenal factors. Furosemide is the only direct diuretic inchildren, but its use is limited in this pathology. Thereare no recommendations on the frequency and duration offurosemide administration.Conclusions: The study of new diagnostic markersand possibilities of using drugs that increase glomerularfiltration in the kidneys in comparison with furosemide, andpreventing the progression of their damage, determiningthe minimal preventive dose, terms and frequency ofadministration, the study of early and late consequences,side effects of this therapy, is a promising direction ofscientific search.

Distance education technology is an element of distance education. However, along with the intensive introduction of new educational technologies into the educational process, the question arises: how effective is the distance learning system?
Introducing a new paradigm in urban planning through integration of resilience and critical theory to increase feasibility of urban resilience
Authors: Tootoonchi Sara , Bahrainy Hossein , Tabibian Manochehr
Published: June 2021

The urban planning requires a deterministic paradigm shift, in order to enhance the feasibility of urban resilience and to be capable of dealing with new emerging issues. In terms of the objective of the research, the present study is a fundamental research and of a theoretical nature. In terms of the nature and method of the research, it is a descriptive-analytical study based on documentary and library data collection. As the Critical Theory is a procedural approach for dealing with issues, that emphasizes on the process rather than the product, by integrating resilience, as a content element, it allows for the possibility to create a new paradigm that renews the existing evolutionary knowledge and creates a new revolutionary knowledge, which would ultimately fulfill the new demands. As a new combination of power-knowledge, which relies on decentralization and sharing power among the people, through bottom-top decision-making, the new paradigm creates mechanisms that put science at the service of the society, in order to build a bridge between science and decision-making.

The obturation quality of GuttaFlow Bioseal in curved root canals is not commonly investigated although there has been a current approach toward utilizing this material in extracted molars in recent years. This study assessed the obturated surface area, extrusion of root filling material beyond the apical foramen and duration of obturation procedure in curved root canals using monocone obturation technique. Access cavity was prepared in 20 human mandibular molars. Root canals with curvature of more than 10 as determined according to Schneider’s method were included. Samples were prepared using Hyflex CM rotary files and divided into two groups (n=10): Group 1 [gutta-percha cone and GuttaFlow Bioseal] and Group 2 [gutta-percha cone and RoekoSeal Automix root canal sealer]. The duration of obturation procedure was recorded and obturation radiographs were taken. Samples were bisected and the mesial roots were sectioned horizontally to obtain 3 root segments; apical, middle and coronal. All resected roots were mounted on brass stubs, sputter-coated with thin platinum coating and observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM) at 70x magnification. The SEM images were transferred to the SketchAndCalc Area Calculator software. No statistically significant differences in the obturated surface area and extrusion of root filling material were observed between Group 1 and 2, irrespective of the status of root canal curvature. Duration for obturation in severe root canal curvatures between Group 1 and 2 were statistically significant. Obturated surface area and extrusion of root filling material were not affected by the root canal curvature, however duration for obturation using GuttaFlow Bioseal in severe root canal curvatures was slightly longer.

Glaucoma is a disease that is chronic in nature and indistinctive at an early stage, leading to late detection. It has become a major public health problem and a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS), of late, has been utilised to evaluate metabolites concentration in the brain, especially for detecting neurodegenerative disease. Considering that glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease, studies on the concentration of metabolites using 1H-MRS in glaucoma patients could be investigated. This scoping review aims to examine the extent, range, and nature of studies on the 1H-MRS technique in glaucoma disease. The literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL and SCOPUS, dated from 2000 until 2019. Studies on glaucoma using 1H-MRS were considered. Any processing method used to characterise the metabolite concentration generated by the 1H-MRS protocol has also been considered. Nine full-text studies were yielded after hundreds of literature identification, screening, and eligibility assessment. The included studies sought to determine the feasibility, change, and comparability of metabolite concentrations in glaucoma patients using 1H-MRS with more studies utilising single-voxel spectroscopy (SVS) technique. The chosen anatomy of interest could have been influenced by several criteria, including the association between anatomy and the research query and the volume-sizing capabilities of the 1H-MRS technique. Six (6) metabolites were significantly identified, and quantified, including N-acetyl aspartate, Creatine, Choline, Myo-Inositol, Lactate and Glutamate-Glutamine. This scoping review points out the 1H-MRS application in different types and severity of glaucoma, highlighting the information on the type of patients, the detected metabolites in the anatomy involved, the 1H-MRS technique used and the raw data decipherment processing software. Future studies are needed to validate existing glaucoma studies and to explore the potential of detecting incipient glaucoma.

Kuala Langat South Forest Reserve (KLSFR) was the main highlight when Selangor State Agriculture Corporation proposed to acquire the whole of KLSFR (about 6,908 ha) for the establishment of oil palm plantations. Many parties expressed their concern and opposed the plan as it would lead to the destruction of the forest and its biodiversity. As such, this study was aimed to determine the forest structure and tree species composition to conserve and sustainably manage the forest. Seven plots of 40 m x 20 m covering 0.56 ha were established randomly in KLSFR. All trees with 5 cm diameter breast height (DBH) and above were tagged, measured and identified. Voucher specimens were then taken for further verification purposes. The floristic composition of KLSFR consists of 335 individuals represented by 47 tree species from 21 families. Annonaceae, Guttiferaceae and Myrsticaceae were the most speciose families with five species recorded for each family. Goniothalamus malayanus and Koompassia malaccensis were considered to have absolute dominance at the study site with Important Value index of 14.73 % and 14.19 %, respectively. KLSFR recorded low Shannon-Weiner Diversity index of H’ = 2.85 (H’max = 3.81) and Margalef’s Richness Index with DMG = 7.91. Evenness (E) index of 0.75 portrayed that the tree species are almost equally abundant in the study area. Total trees biomass was estimated at 406.90 t/ha, represented by 349.61 t/ha of above ground biomass (AGB) and 57.29 t/ha of below ground biomass (BGB). The study indicated that KLSFR has uniform distribution of individuals with mixed species composition of trees. Tree distribution showed the pattern of De iocourt’s factor procedure (inverse J distribution) where number of tree decreases with the increase in diameter, representing the natural regeneration of the forest.

A rendszeres reggelizés mint szokáskialakítás és értékközvetítés a középiskolás korosztályban
Authors: Lelovics Zsuzsanna
Published: June 2021

Összefoglaló: Az ezredfordulón a magyar tanulók körében a reggelit otthon nem fogyasztók aránya 23%-a volt, míg kifejezetten a középiskolás korosztályban a diákok 62%-a reggelizett. A 2016-ban végzett Iskoláskorú gyermekek egészségmagatartása (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children – HBSC) felmérés során kapott eredmények szerint a hétköznapokon soha nem reggeliző fiúk aránya a 9. évfolyamon 32%, a 11. évfolyamon 37%, míg a lányoké a 9. évfolyamon 39%, a 11. évfolyamon 41% volt. Szerző célul tűzte ki a középiskolások körében a reggelizés mint táplálkozási szokás rendszeresebbé tételére irányuló törekvés eredményességének mérését, ennek érdekében a táplálkozási szokások nyomon követését, továbbá az általa vezetett beavatkozás hatékonyságának megállapítását. Módszertan: A tíz tanórából álló oktatási folyamatban (1, illetve 2 tanév) egészséges, ismert táplálékallergiában nem szenvedő, önkéntes részvételű 9. és 10. évfolyamos (14,5–16,5 éves) tanulók (n = 364; 181 fiú /50%/ és 183 lány /50%/) vettek részt. További két tanévben nyomonkövetés történt. Az adatfelvétel táplálkozási kérdőív és a táplálkozási napló párhuzamos kitöltésén, az értékelés az elemzéseken túl azok összevetésén is alapult. Eredmények: A középiskolás korosztály szinte kivétel nélkül (99%) tisztában volt a reggeli jelentőségével az oktatás végére (kezdetekor: 85%) Az ismeretek szokásrendszerbe történő beépítése azonban ettől az aránytól nagymértékben elmaradt: 48%-ról – az oktatás végére (átmenetileg) 72%-ra – a kutatás végére pedig 59%-ra nőtt a rendszeresen reggeliző diákok aránya. A korábban rendszeresen reggelit nem fogyasztó diákok 21%-a vált rendszeres reggelizővé. Következtetések: A kutatás elején és a kutatás végén sem volt szignifikáns kapcsolat (χ2 = 0,6100 és χ2 = 2,7712; p > 0,05) a tudás és a szokás között a rendszeres reggelizés vonatkozásában. Összegzés: A diákok egészséges táplálkozásra nevelése során nagyon fontos behatárolni azt az információtartalmat, ami szükséges és elégséges az egészséges táplálkozáshoz. A rendszeres reggelizés fontossága egyértelműen ilyen ismeret. A szokások kialakítása, és a szokások megváltoztatása nem tekinthető azonos nevelési feladatnak. A rögzült szokások megváltoztatása nehezebb, hosszabb időt igénylő feladat.
Mortality rate of birds following intravenous administration of iodinated contrast medium for computed tomography
Authors: McCready Julianne E. , Gardhouse Sara M. , Appleby Ryan , Beaufrère Hugues
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

To identify potential risk factors for death following IV or intraosseous (IO) administration of contrast medium in birds undergoing CT scans.

ANIMALS

120 birds that underwent 134 contrast-enhanced CT scans.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of birds of any species that underwent a CT scan which included administration of nonionic iodinated contrast medium from June 2013 to February 2020 were included. Information on birds and use of contrast medium was extracted from the medical records as well as information on deaths following IV or IO administration of contrast medium.

RESULTS

6 birds died shortly following administration of contrast medium. Necropsies were performed in 3 birds (2 cockatiels and 1 macaw), and all had lesions associated with the respiratory tract. When body weight was used as a binary variable to compare odds of death between small birds (≤ 150 g [0.33 lb]) and large birds (> 150 g), small birds had a 97-fold increased odds (OR, 97.5; 95% CI, 9.8 to 966.0) of dying following contrast medium administration. Following 131 CT scans with contrast medium administration (3 scans were excluded because of perivascular or subcutaneous leakage of contract medium), small birds had a mortality rate of 45.4% (5/11), compared with a mortality rate of 0.8% (1/120) for large (> 150 g) birds. Other variables (ie, sex, age, anesthesia or sedation, sedation protocol, and type of contrast medium) were not significantly associated with death after contrast medium administration.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Although the administration of contrast medium cannot be conclusively confirmed as the cause of death in these birds, the high mortality rate for small birds coupled with the temporality of the event following contrast medium administration justifies the cautious use of contrast medium in small sick psittacine birds.

Effect of corvitin on oxygen homeostasis and blood gas transmitters in ischemia-reperfusion of the lower limbs
Authors: Zasimovich V. N. , Zinchuk V. V. , Ioskevich N. N.
Published: June 2021

Introduction.Reperfusion-reoxygenation syndrome (RRS) after revascularization of the lower limbs in obliterating atherosclerosis of the arteries is accompanied by a violation of the oxygen transport function of the blood (OTFB) and the content of gas transmitters (GTs). Reperfusion injury affects not only the tissues of the lower limbs, but also of anatomically distant organs, which supposes that effective RRS correction is required. Aim. To study the effect of Corvitin on the OTFB parameters and the content of GT of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the venous blood of the forearm after revascularization of the lower limb in chronic atherosclerotic occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA).Materials and methods.The study included 118 male patients. Revascularization of the lower limb was carried out by the method of loop endaterectomy from the SFA. Patients of group I (n=52) received traditional medication, 51 patients of group II additionally received Corvitin. In the blood from the vein of the elbow bend before the operation, on the 3rdand 8thdays after it, the indices of OTFB and GTs were determined.Results.In group I, on the 3rdday after surgery, pO2increased in relation to healthy individuals by 5.2–18.5%, while pCO2decreased by 4.8–6.7%, depending on the stage of initial ischemia. The concentrations of NO and H2S increased by 9.2–50.1% and 9.2–21.1%, respectively. The increase in the parameters of hyperoxemia, hypocapnemia and GT after the return of blood circulation decreases with the use of Corvitin (p˂0.05). By the end of the early postoperative period, the indicators of OTFB and GT not only return to their initial values, but also do not significantly differ from the group of healthy individuals (p˃0.05).Conclusion.The use of Corvitin effectively corrects violations of OTFB and GT during ischemia-reperfusion of the lower limbs, which prevents tissue reperfusion damage.

Published: June 2021

Introduction. The effectiveness of cell therapy at the stage of critical limb ischemia is insufficient for regression of clinical manifestations of the ischemic process. Aim – to develop an experimental model of critical limb ischemia and to study the effect of the combined use of bone marrow autocells and simvastatin on the perfusion of ischemic tissues and the dynamics of the clinical picture of the ischemic process. Materials and methods. The experimental study was carried out on 180 male Wistar rats, divided into 6 groups of 30 animals each. In the first group (intact), the level of microcirculation in the muscles of the hind limb was determined. In the second group (sham-operated), the neurovascular bundle of the thigh was isolated and the wound was sutured with a continuous suture. In the third group, chronic critical ischemia of the leg muscles was modeled by removing the femoral, popliteal, anterior and posterior tibial arteries and veins, and damage to the peripheral nerve. In the fourth group, critical ischemia of the leg muscles was treated with simvastatin, in the fifth group – with the mononuclear fraction of autologous bone marrow, in the sixth one – with simvastatin and the mononuclear fraction of autologous bone marrow. The level of microcirculation in the leg muscles was determined using laser Doppler flowmetry LDF 100C and invasive needle sensor TSD144 on days 10, 21 and 28. Results. In the second group, a statistically insignificant decrease in the level of microcirculation was noted. In the third group, the level of regional blood flow in the ischemic muscle of the leg of rats on the 10th day was 2.5 times, on the 21st day – 1.7 times and on the 28th day 1.4 times less than in the group of intact animals. At the same time, in the fourth group after the administration of simvastatin to the animals, the regional blood flow increased 1.4; 1.5 and 1.5 times; in the fifth group, with the introduction of the mononuclear fraction of the bone marrow to animals at all periods, 1.6 times; in the sixth group after the combined administration of bone marrow cells and simvastatin – 2.0; 1.8 and 1.7 times. By the end of the experiment, in the animals of the fourth and fifth groups, it was possible to stop the progression of clinical manifestations, and in animals of the sixth group, their regression was achieved. Conclusion. The combined use of bone marrow cells and statins allows bringing the level of perfusion of ischemic tissues to normal and achieving regression of the clinical picture of the ischemic process by the end of the experiment.

Published: June 2021

Introduction. Increased resistance of the heart to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is an urgent aim of physiology, pharmacology, and cardiac surgery, since I/R injury of the heart is often the cause of cardiogenic shock and subsequent death of patients in the postoperative period. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in male rats which were subjected to coronary artery occlusion (45 min) and reperfusion (2 h). Before coronary occlusion, early hypoxic preconditioning (HP) was modeled. The rats were subjected to six sessions of hypoxia (8 % O2, 10 min) and reoxygenation (21 % O2, 10 min) 30 min before coronary artery occlusion. The rats were injected with the following drugs: 1,3-dimethylthiourea (DMTM), 2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (2-MPG), deferoxamine. Results. It was found that HP contributes to infarct size reduction by 30 %. Preliminary administration of DMTM, 2-MPG, deferoxamine eliminated the infarct-reducing effect of HP. Conclisuon. The obtained data indicate that reactive oxygen species are involved in the cardioprotective effect of HP.

МОЖЛИВОСТІ ІНТЕРНЕТ-ПРОЄКТУВАННЯ ЯК ЗАСОБУ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАГІСТРІВ МЕДИЦИНИ ДО ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ
Authors: Гуменюк Василь
Published: June 2021

У сучасних умовах студенти закладів вищої медичної освіти вже не просто пасивно сприймають нову інформацію з мережі Інтернет, а й є активними суб’єктами власної освіти і професійної діяльності. Це вимагає зміни підходу до організації підготовки майбутніх магістрів медицини до педагогічної діяльності і трансформації освітнього процесу з рівня “пасивного споживання” на рівень “активного перетворення інформації”.
У межах статті розглянуто Інтернет-проєктування в контексті підготовки магістрів медицини до педагогічної діяльності як навчальний модуль, що дає змогу студентам-медикам оволодівати як професійними, так і загальнокультурними, надпрофесійними компетенціями, а викладачеві – здійснювати педагогічну супервізію діяльності студентів; має яскраво виражену спрямованість на вивчення, перетворення і вдосконалення студентами сучасного соціального Інтернет-середовища шляхом практичного застосування зазначених компетенцій.

Authors: Abramov Valerii Leonidovich , Lapenkova Natalya Vladimirovna
Published: June 2021

The subject of this research is the international competitiveness of post-Soviet national economies, within the framework of a new integration association in the post-Soviet space – the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). In the context of studying the competitiveness of the member-states of international regional integration associations, the authors analyze and conditionally divide the scientific and theoretical reserve of Russian and foreign scholars into several key vectors of research. The article formulates the approaches towards assessing the impact of integration processes upon the competitiveness of national economies of the EAEU member-states. For the analysis of competitiveness of the participant countries in the integration alliance, the authors applied the methodology of the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum. The competitiveness of participant countries of the alliance was examined in accordance with the eight main criteria: the effectiveness of state institutions, infrastructure, the level of macroeconomic stability, development of financial markets, effectiveness of goods and services market, effectiveness of the job market, development of human capital, and assessment of innovation activity. The conclusion is made that all the countries participating in post-Soviet integration association indicate positive dynamics in their international competitiveness, although its level differs considerably. The approach towards assessing the impact of integration upon the competitiveness is formulated. It is noted that the achievement of higher level of competitiveness is impeded by macroeconomic instability of the national economies of post-Soviet space. Recommendations are given in the formation of their competitive advantages within the framework of the integration union.

Surveilling and Criminalizing Austrian Muslims: The Case of ‘Political Islam’
Authors: Hafez Farid
Published: June 2021

In this commentary, I deal with how the governing conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) managed successfully to fundamentally reshape the state’s politics towards Muslim communities by introducing the terminology of ‘political Islam’ in the public discourse. I show how this affected the political discourse, how the governing ÖVP has been using institutions to produce knowledge in order to criminalize Muslimness, and how this also affected the work of the domestic intelligence agency and subsequently police operations. I argue that by introducing the notion of ‘political Islam’ came a criminalization of vocal and/or organized Muslims as well as anti-racist actors.
