Książki z kolekcji magnackich w Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim – interdyscyplinarne opracowanie i metodologia badań
Authors: Pietrzkiewicz Iwona
Published: December 2021

Contemporary research in historical book collections has recently gathered momentum, both thanks to a greater intensification of multiangled exploration (including origin-oriented studies) and the fact of its greater accessibility through international catalogue databases. The catalogues from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which in the past have frequently fallen prey to dispersion and scattering, serve as an example of how difficult it is to organize them in a coherent manner. The article sets out to investigate the problem of ancestral book collections as an instructive example of strengthening international and interdisciplinary cooperation in this field of work. The ancestral collections belonging to the Sapieha and the Radziwiłł families serve to show the current state of research in the area, its concepts and perspectives.
A jeśli książka się nie sprzedawała? „Kreatywne” praktyki wydawniczo-księgarskie we Lwowie w XVIII wieku
Authors: Rusińska-Giertych Halina
Published: December 2021

Although reading became generally more popular in the eighteenth century, not everyone read books. Discussions about books took place in aristocratic salons and at social meetings of rich noblemen, scholars and burghers, however, the lower classes were not exposed to books for quite some time. Readership, which increased mainly in bigger, important towns, was low in rural areas. Warsaw (due to the circles of scholars and writers, reforms of education, theatre, journalism, patrons and the offerings of publishing houses and booksellers) provided optimal conditions for the development of readership in Poland, yet even there, only the better-educated people engaged in reading. Because the Poles were not very interested in books, institutions which produced and distributed them began to encounter financial problems. Publishing houses and bookstores in Lvov also had problems with disposing of excessive copies (printed or imported for sale). They had to devise various strategies to inform their clients about the books they offered or persuade them to buy them. Advertising was not always successful and unwanted books remained stored and unsold for long periods. Those who had contributed to their publication now had to consider how to deal with this problem and were obliged to undertake various “creative” book-selling strategies. This article describes the solution employed by the printing house and bookstore owned by the Pillers as well as the bookstore of Karol Bogusław Pfaff in Lvov, namely the practice of reissuing books.

Published: December 2021

This current study aims to examine through a literature review whether children of preschool and early primary school age can be taught distance computational thinking (CT) through asynchronous learning environments in the age of covid. Over the past few years in Greece, a sharp rise in computational thinking has been noted as both students and teachers feel the need to create more imaginative and interactive ways. The study results illustrate the significance of digital media in the educational process and the educator’s crucial role in using such digital tools in preschool and early primary school age. The cooperation between educators of preschool age and teachers of Information Technology could offer new dimensions and provide numerous benefits to the learning process. Distance learning programs could help teachers’ training process through properly structured material that corresponds more effectively to the learning of CT.

Published: December 2021

Several enzymes play an important role in the biosynthesis of osmolyte in plants. The main objective of this work is to study the effects of salt stress, kinetin+potassium and giberellic acid+potassium on calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) and delta-1-pyrroline-5- carboxylate synthase (P5CS) genes expression of two bread wheat varieties. The results shodwe that, salts stress reduced the plant growth of the two wheat germplasms. Moreover, the addition of kinetin+ potassium improved the performance of morphometric parameters while the addition of giberellic acid +potassium has less effect. On the biochemical level, results indicated that salt stress increased the proline contents compared with control plants. Extra increase in proline contents was recorded by kinetin+ potassium, while the treatment of giberellic acid +potassium showed almost similar results as in salt stress only. On the molecular level, salt stress, kinetin and giberellic acid significantly increased the two genes expression of CDPKs and P5CS with more effect in presence of kinetin+ potassium.

The aim of intercropping flax on sugar beet is to increase the cultivated area with flax due to widely cultivated area of sugar beet. So, a field experiment was carried out to study the effect of various sowing dates and seed rates of flax intercropped with sugar beet on yield, quality and economic evaluation. The main-plots were assigned to three sowing dates of flax intercropped with sugar beet and the sub-plots were allocated to four seed rates of flax. The results show that sowing date of flax after 35 days from sowing (DFS) sugar beet resulted in the highest values of sugar beet yields and quality. Maximum values of flax straw and seed yields resulted from sowing flax after 21 DFS sugar beet. Intercropping sugar beet with flax at 12.5% from recommended seed rate on top sugar beet terraces attained the most elevated values of sugar beet yield and quality. Sowing flax at 50% from recommended rate resulted in the best values of flax technical and fruiting zone length, also straw and seed yield/hectare. The maximum yield and economic return of both crops were obtained from sowing flax at 12.5% from recommended rate after (21 or 35) DFS sugar beet.

Changing objects of therapeutics – how neurasthenia a ected scienti c transfer between Germany and Sweden
Authors:   Department of the History, Philosophy and Ethics of Medicine, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany, Gavallér Yvonne
Published: December 2021

This paper discusses the transfer of knowledge between Germany and Sweden within the therapeutics of neurasthenia around 1900. The latter was a worldwide spread disease phenomenon and involved such a variance of symptoms that it is retrospectively considered a cultural condition that was strongly linked to medical fashions. As causes of transfer and change in therapeutics, cultural move- ments have been little explored in research so far. Based on the analysis of transfers and an evaluation of medical objects, the following text aims to show the entanglement between Germany and Sweden on both a sci- entific and societal level as well as their impact on the therapy of neur- asthenia. In the popularity of the Swedish medical treatment method of medicomechanics in Germany, this connection becomes particularly obvi- ous. The enhancements and imitations of the objects used in mechanical gymnastics represent a scientific transfer on the level of medicine, which took place in parallel with cultural trends, political changes and technological knowledge. The constant change which the objects of neurasthenia therapy were subject to, was marked by the paradoxical use of a technology-affine medicine to treat a technology-induced disease. With the rediscovery of naturopathic methods within the new body culture, however, the Zander apparatuses underwent an evolution. The Swedish objects have been adopted by users from merely medical technology into new contexts of action – for example, as tools for self-optimisation of the body.
Medical technologies and the social strategies of two surgical instrument makers in Denmark and Sweden, 1870–1900
Authors:   Baltic and East European Graduate School, Södertörn University, Sweden, Halverson Kristin
Published: December 2021

Technical professions were important agents in medicine and its knowledge production in the nineteenth century. This paper will look more closely at two examples of the social strategies used by Danish surgical instrument maker Camillus Nyrop and his Swedish colleague, Max Stille respectively. Although the work of these two instrument makers attracted attention both within their respective countries as well as internationally, and they were regular fixtures in medical circles, their contributions have merited little academic interest thus far. By examining the social strategies used by nineteenth century technicians, in this case surgical instrument makers, we might better understand the interrelationships between technical professions and physicians in the knowledge production of modern medicine and the interplay between medicine and commerce.

Authors: Kaklys Karolis
Published: December 2021

Analysing the problematic aspects of the legal regulation of local self-government of the Republic of Lithuania related to the realisation of the rights provided for the minority (opposition) of the municipal council in the Law on Local Self-Government and other legal acts, the following empirical research was performed. During the research, the method of interviews was used in order to identify, as precisely as possible, the problems of the realisation of the rights of political minorities (opposition) in the whole Lithuanian municipality. It is the interview method that was chosen to ensure the interaction between the researcher and the respondent, which enables to obtain the widest and deepest possible information in identifying practical problems and also allows to collect the detailed data needed to solve the identified problems. The interview focused on the target group of respondents from many different Lithuanian municipalities who are fully acquainted with the practical aspects of the realisation of the minority rights of the council. All respondents are current or former opposition members of municipal councils. With the aim of maximising practical benefits, as many as thirty respondents were interviewed in this research.

Challenge of Advocate’s Profession in the Age of Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Proliferation Evasion “Not to slip with a fragile burden!"
Authors: Joksta Sandra
Published: December 2021

Ability to perform advocate’s duty is irrevocably linked to advocate’s immunity concept. The article provides an insight about the scope of advocate’s immunity concept in the age of money laundering. The purpose of it is to analyse the modern tendency to overstep the red lines guarding this concept, when applying legal enactments for money laundering evasion purposes. In the article, the judgment of 19 November 2020 in case “Klaus Mueller vs Germany” made by European Court of Human Rights, is analysed, where the issue of advocate’s immunity was considered in joint connection with the Clause 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The sometimes-exaggerated need for transparency at all costs conflicts with privacy protection aspects of individuals. Legislative enactments of money laundering and terrorism financing and proliferation evasion systemically contradicts Law of Advocacy and causes collision with other norms of higher legal rank such as fundamental rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights to fair trial and justice and rights to choose an occupation and engage in work.
Keywords: advocate’s immunity concept, advocate’s rights to professional secret and
confidentiality, legal certainty, money laundering and terrorism financing and proliferation evasion, principle of sound legislation, uncertain privilege.

May the Patient’s Will, Expressed by Means of Assistive Communication Technologies, be Admissible as Evidence in Court Proceedings?
Authors: Lytvynenko Anatoliy A.
Published: December 2021

The article is dedicated to hallmark the problem of accepting evidence of a patient’s will by a court in diverse proceedings, and it being communicated by non-classical means. Modern technologies allow patients to communicate utilizing various electrified appliances, in case the disabled person suffers from an ailment, or a health disorder affecting speech and mental abilities. Such appliances may truly enhance the patient’s quality of life; however, it is uncertain whether such patient may be found to be a competent witness, or the information reflecting their will obtained in a non-classical method may be found to be as convincing evidence by the court. Currently, there is very little judicial precedent dealing with obtaining evidence of the patient’s will by means of assistive communication technologies, though recent Italian legacy has shown such evidence may be accepted by the court, in case forensic-psychiatric examination approves adequacy of the cognitive abilities of the patient, rendering their will competent. Diverse legal systems render the question of patient’s competence differently, and the issue of accepting information as evidence obtained by means of assistive communication technologies will surely become more frequent in disputes relating to testament validity or determining the patient’s will to undergo or forego medical treatment. Such cases may be of high relevance in civil proceedings on withdrawal of life-supporting treatment, which will ultimately result in the patient’s demise.
Keywords: patient’s autonomy, patient’s legal capacity, withdrawal of life-supporting
treatment, assistive communication technologies, theory of evidence, critically-ill patients.

Authors: Verghese Sumant Chacko , Sahanand Santosh K. , Martin Nikhil Joseph , Kerketta Abhay Harsh , Chalasani Prashanth , Rajan David V.
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were to describe the surgical technique of our modification of isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, in patients with patellar instability. As per literature, isolated MPFL reconstruction is advocated if tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TTTG) <20 mm. Our study proposes isolated MPFL reconstruction in patients with TT-TG <25 mm and aims to determine any predisposing anatomic variants to aid in the treatment algorithm.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective analysis of 52 patients with patellar instability (TT-TG <25 mm), who underwent isolated MPFL reconstruction was undertaken. The study population was divided into two groups; TT-TG <20 mm and TT-TG = 20–24 mm. Both groups were assessed radiologically and on the basis of clinical and functional outcome (KUJALA score), over 5-year follow-up period.

Results:

The mean age of the study population was 21.98 years, with a female (63.5%) majority. Among the 52 patients included in the study, 39 patients (75%) had TT-TG <20 mm and 13 patients (25%) had TT-TG = 20–24 mm. We noticed statistically significant improvement in both groups with respect to clinical and functional outcome, with no reported complications. None of the patients had patella alta or high grades of trochlear dysplasia.

Conclusion:

MPFL reconstruction without concomitant bony procedures can be safely performed in patients with a TT-TG <25 mm, in the absence of patella alta or high-grade trochlear dysplasia. Our modification of isolated MPFL reconstruction has shown excellent long-term results. In addition, our technique uses only a single interference screw, thereby reducing cost of surgery and implant hardware.

Authors: Reddy K. R. Bharath Kumar
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were to describe the profile of patients attending an exclusive paediatric sleep clinic in India.

Materials and Methods:

Children aged 1 month–18 years, attending an exclusive paediatric sleep clinic, were assessed using standardized questionnaires. Children underwent sleep coaching, were treated medically, or underwent polysomnography based on the decision of the paediatric pulmonologist. Level 1 polysomnography was conducted by trained personnel.

Results:

Of 186 children, 36.5% were for infant sleep issues, 24.7% suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 18.2% neuromuscular diseases with sleep problems, 15.6% genetic disorders with sleep problems, 4.3% parasomnias, and 0.5% abnormal movements during sleep. Of the 85 paediatric polysomnographies conducted, 9.4% were normal studies, 87% had OSA, 1.1% restless leg syndrome, and 2.3% were inadequate studies.

Conclusion:

Sleep disorders in children are not uncommon and paediatricians need to be aware and identify them early. More number of exclusive paediatric sleep clinics need to be established in India.

Authors: Saini Harleen , Wang Andy Y. , Kosarchuk Jacob J. , Yigitbilek Furkan , Kouhsari Laleh Montaser , Arkun Knarik , Riesenburger Ron I. , Safain Mina G.
Published: December 2021

Background:

Spine surgeons rarely consider metal allergies when placing hardware, as implants are thought to be inert.

Case Description:

A 32-year-old male presented with a skin rash attributed to the trace metal in his spinal fusion instrumentation. Patch testing revealed sensitivities to cobalt, manganese, and chromium. He underwent hardware removal and replacement with constructs of commercially pure titanium. His skin findings resolved at 2 weeks after surgery and were stable at 6 weeks.

Conclusion:

Hypersensitivity to metal (i.e., metal allergy) should be considered before performing instrumented spinal fusions.
Laser speckle imaging to evaluate scalp flap blood flow during closure in neurosurgical procedures
Authors: Carlson Andrew P. , Denezpi Taryn , Akbik Omar S. , Mohammad Laila M.
Published: December 2021

Background:

To measure the degree of relative ischemia caused by skin closure, we explored the potential utility of intraoperative surface blood flow measurement with laser speckle imaging (LSI).

Methods:

Prospective observational study of eight subjects that underwent intraoperative LSI during elective cranial neurosurgical procedures at the time of skin closure.

Results:

Seven 1st time incisions, with closure techniques including sutures (n = 3), staples (n = 3), and one after galeal sutures. When compared to the control region, there was a mean 63.7% reduction in flow across all seven subjects (range 18.7–95.32%). Comparing by closure type, a higher flow reduction in the three subjects with suture closure (80.7% reduction) compared to staples (61.9% reduction, P = 0.0379). One subject had a complex wound where tightening and loosening of sutures were performed to ensure adequate perfusion. Suturing resulted in significantly more local decreased flow compared to staples (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:

These findings demonstrate the relative feasibility of using LSI for preoperative vascular flow assessment in planning complex incision closure. These data also provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that skin closure itself causes relative ischemia compared to deep approximation or cautery of the skin edge and that the relative ischemia from staples closure is generally less than from suture closure.

Locked-down!: How children’s access and use of urban green spaces and playgrounds changed after COVID 19 outbreak
Authors: BOZKURT Melih
Published: December 2021

Slight more than a year ago, our lives have completely changed with a newly discovered virus. This new strain of Coronavirus family has rapidly infected many people in china. The virus, now commonly called COVID-19, has also transferred to almost every part of our world with international flights, causing a global pandemic. This new situation has changed many children’s daily lives. During the first months of COVID-19 pandemics, almost 99.5% of all children in the world lived with movement restrictions and 60% lived under full or partial lockdowns. In Turkey, children locked down for over 2 months with no outside permission. This study aimed to understand effect of lockdown process on children’s daily lives, physical activity patterns, and visits urban green spaces and playgrounds. The emerging findings illustrate that children’s daily habits have changed during the lockdown. Many children showed symptoms of boredom, loneliness, lack of communication, anxiety and even depression. Children invested more time in watching TV. Slightly more than half of the children spent only around an hour for physical activity every day, and a third of children have spent no time on any physical activity. Percentage of children visiting urban green spaces and playgrounds declined rapidly. On average, children payed 27 minutes shorter visits to urban green spaces than they visited before COVID-19.

Ardahan ve Kars İlleri Büyükbaş Hayvancılık İşletmelerinin Yapısal Sorunları
Authors: GÜVEN Oktay
Published: December 2021

Sığırcılık, sürekli artan nüfusun gıda talebini karşılamanın yanı sıra istihdam potansiyeli, Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hâsıla içindeki payı, kırsal kalkınma ve yoksullukla mücadele gibi birçok açıdan stratejik öneme sahiptir. Sığırcılık Ardahan ve Kars illerinde geniş çayır ve meraların sağladığı rekabet avantajı, kırsal nüfus oranının ülke ortalamasının üzerinde olması ve sanayinin gelişmemiş olması nedeniyle yaygın olarak yapılmaktadır. Ancak yapılan araştırmalar sektörün bu illerde başta verimlilik ve hayvan sağlığı olmak üzere birçok sorunla mücadele ettiğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma Ardahan ve Kars illeri sığır işletmelerinin yapısal sorunlarını tespit etmek ve çözüm önerileri sunmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında yapılan anket sayısı oransal yaklaşım yöntemi doğrultusunda belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları Ardahan ve Kars illerinde sığırcılığın küçük ölçekli aile işletmeciliği şeklinde geleneksel barınaklarda yapıldığını, yerli ırkların halen yaygın olarak beslendiğini, işletmelerin yaklaşık yarısının kaba yem yetiştiriciliği için yeterli araziye sahip olmadıklarını, barınaklarda hayvan refahına dikkat edilmediğini ortaya koymuştur. Üretici profili bakımından ise genç ve eğitimli kesimin sektörden uzak durduğunu, üreticilerin yaklaşık üçte birinin sosyal güvenceden yoksun olduğunu ve üreticilerin mesleki bilgi düzeyinin
düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çerçevede genç ve eğitimli kesimin sektöre ilgisini artıracak adımların atılması, işletme ölçeğini büyütmeye, barınakları iyileştirmeye ve kültür ırkı hayvanların yaygınlaştırılmasına yönelik destek verilmesi önerilmektedir. Üreticilere yönelik mesleki eğitim faaliyetlerinin tasarlanıp uygulanması verimliliği artırmak için zorunluluk arz etmektedir. Ayrıca kırsaldaki yaşam kalitesini artıracak yatırımların yapılması sektörün gelişimine ve rekabet gücüne önemli düzeyde katkı sunacağı anlaşılmaktadır.

Kurak iklime sahip Orta Anadolu’da rüzgâr erozyonu önemli bir sorundur. Rüzgâr erozyonuna genellikle yüzeyi örtüsüz topraklarda, düşük toprak nemi ve şiddetli rüzgârın eş zamanlı gerçekleştiği dönemlerde rastlanır. Uygulama alanının özellikleri ve ekolojik gereksinimleri dikkate alınmadan yapılan toplulaştırmaların erozyonu hızlandırmak gibi bazı olumsuzluklara yol açtığı da bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma, Konya’da erozyona yatkın dönemleri tahmin etmek, toplulaştırma uygulamalarında çevre ihtiyaçlarının öncelikle dikkate alınmasının önemini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada; (i) Konya - Çumra MYO deneme tarlasında toprak nemi Mart-Ekim döneminde aralıklarla gravimetrik yöntemle ölçülmüş, (ii) Konya ve Karaman’da eşik hızı aşan rüzgârlar aylara ve yönlerine göre incelenmiş, (iii) Karaman Yollarbaşı kasabası toplulaştırma ve ağaçlandırma projesi ile Konya ve Karaman’da 11 köyde uygulanan arazi toplulaştırma projesinin verileri incelenerek; tesis edilen blokların etkin bir bariyer (windbreaks) tesisine uygunluğu değerlendirilmiş, (iiii) Karaman Gödet sulamasının yüzey tahliye sistemi incelenmiştir.

Konya’da etkili rüzgârlar Mart ve Nisanda Güneybatıdan (SW, SSW), Eylül ve Ekimde Kuzeybatıdan (NW, WNW) esmektedir. Rüzgâr erozyonuna karşı ağaçlandırmayı da içeren Karaman Yollarbaşı toplulaştırma projesinde blokların %88.2 si erozyondan sorumlu SW, SSW, NE ve NNE yönlü hâkim rüzgâra dik konumluyken diğer 11 projede sadece % 37.7sinin (60˗90º) dike yakın konumda olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.

Toplulaştırmalarda çevre sorunlarının öncelikli bir konu olarak dikkate alınmasının büyük önem taşıdığı, genellikle nisan ve ekimde erozyona uygun bütün koşulların eş zamanlı gerçekleştiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Ribes L. cinsine ait bitkiler çoğu zaman doğal olarak yetişen, son zamanlarda da kültürü yapılan çalı formundaki bitkilerdir. Bu cinse ait olan bektaşi üzümü ve frenk üzümünün sağlık açısından çeşitli faydalara sahip olduğu bilinmekte olup, bu faydalarından dolayı son yıllarda insanoğlunun dikkatini cezbetmiş durumdadır. Bu çalışmada Beşikdüzü/Trabzon’dan toplanmış olan bektaşi üzümü (Ribes uva-crispa L.) ve dağ frenk üzümünün (Ribes alpinum L.) toplam askorbik asit, toplam fenolik ve toplam flavonoid içerikleri ile antioksidan, antibakteriyel ve mutajen aktivileri araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar neticesinde, bektaşi üzümü ve dağ frenk üzümünün sahip olduğu toplam fenolik, flavonoid ve askorbik asit değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak bir fark gözlenmemiştir (p>0.05). Antioksidan aktivite değerlerinin ise dağ frenk üzümünde daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Antibakteriyel aktivite sonuçları incelendiğinde de benzer bir şekilde dağ frenk üzümü ekstraktının test bakterilerine karşı daha yüksek aktivite sergilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca; bektaşi üzümü ve dağ frenk üzümü ekstraktlarının hiçbirinde Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 ve TA 100’e karşı herhangi bir mutajen aktiviteye rastlanmamıştır.

The article considers the current trends of transnationalization of Ukraine's economy in the context of globalization of world economic processes. The global trend is the expansion of transnational capital into the markets of developing and transit countries. This provides both benefits to the host country and poses a threat to the national economy. TNCs' influence on internationalization is exacerbated by oligopolistic market conditions, which allow them to manipulate prices and profits, collude with other corporations to control sectors of the host country's national economies, and limit potential market penetration through dominant positions in new technologies and special knowledge. The main advantages of multinational companies in transit markets are the ability to bridge the gap between available resources (financial resources, national savings, foreign exchange, government revenues and management experience) and the resources needed to achieve desired growth and development, thanks to private foreign investment in national development . Transnational corporations also enable host companies to use benchmarking techniques, obtain the latest technology, expand markets, and more. It has been found that transnational financialization is a stable trend of modern globalization processes. In particular, in 2020, seven financial corporations were included in the TOP-10 in terms of international sales. In Ukraine, the share of services provided by subsidiaries or affiliates of multinational corporations in the fields of finance, banking and insurance has also increased significantly over the last decade. At the same time, a significant number of TNCs represented on the Ukrainian market specialize in agribusiness, food industry and trade. It is concluded that in Ukraine it is necessary to use the benefits of transnationalization of the economy, which are the potential for Ukrainian companies to enter the world market, increase the innovation and technological level of production of goods and services.
