Rethinking Temporal Binding
Authors: Saad Laura , Hemmer Pernille , Musolino Julien
Published: September 2022

The sense of agency (SoA), defined as the feeling of control over our actions and their outcomes, is a fundamental aspect of human experience. Temporal Binding (TB), the subjective compression of the perceived time interval between an action and its outcome, is widely regarded as an implicit measure of SoA. Notwithstanding the fact that SoA is a property of individuals, the TB effect has only been documented at the aggregate level in the literature. Here, we present the first systematic study of TB at the individual level of analysis and document a pattern of anomalies in the directionality of the effect. In an experimental study in which we replicate TB at the aggregate level, we show that when the data are de-aggregated, up to 42% of the participants in our voluntary conditions behave in the opposite direction of what is theoretically predicted. That is, instead of showing subjective compression of the time interval between actions and outcomes, participants show time repulsion between these two classes of events, what one would expect of the actions were involuntary. Based on a reanalysis of nine datasets, we show that this anomaly is not an idiosyncratic feature of our study, but rather, that it is an invariant property of the TB effect, detectable across action types, laboratories, and experimental methodologies. These findings call into question the interpretation of TB as a measure of agentic processes and have important theoretical and practical implications.
Young adult carers in the UK – New evidence from the UK Household Longitudinal Study
Authors: Di Gessa Giorgio , Xue Baowen , Lacey Rebecca E , McMunn Anne
Published: September 2022

Despite growing interest in young adult carers, little is known about trends in prevalence of caregiving among young adults aged 16-29. Also, few studies have so far investigated demographic, health, and socioeconomic inequalities in the duration of care among young carers as well as demographic differences in caregiving characteristics. Using data from 11 waves of the nationally-representative UK Household Longitudinal Study (2009-2021), we first estimated the prevalence of caregiving among 16-29 years-old adults at each wave. Results show that about 9% of those aged 16-29 provided care, and that this prevalence remained stable throughout the 2010s. Then, selecting respondents who participated for three waves of more, we assessed demographic, socioeconomic, and health characteristics associated with duration of care using ordinal regression models. Almost 52% of carers cared at two or more waves. Compared to non-carers, those who cared had more disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, were from ethnic minorities and reported poorer health, particularly if they cared at two or more waves. Finally, focusing on carers, we tested differences by gender, age, and urbanicity in care relationships, intensity, and duration. Overall, women and those aged 25-29 cared for longer hours, for more people, and for more years than men and younger carers respectively. Put together, these findings provide an up-to-date description of young carers in the 2010s in the UK.

childfree in a family-friendly neighborhood
Authors: Neal Zachary P. , Neal Jennifer Watling
Published: September 2022

Demographic changes in the United States have resulted in cities with fewer children and more singles. However, a focus on building family friendly communities remains common among regional and urban political actors. There appears to be a mismatch between the demographic reality of US communities and political actors' focus. In this research note, we use a sample of 170 Michigan policymakers and a representative sample of 943 Michigan adults to investigate how different demographic groups are prioritized when it comes to neighborhoods, and whether it matters for residents' neighborhood experiences. We find that both groups de-prioritize the neighborhood needs and preferences of singles and couples without children, who consequently experience significantly lower levels of neighborhood satisfaction. We conclude by recommending that regional and urban political actors balance the neighborhood needs of different groups, and that researchers disaggregate the impacts of urban political outcomes by relationship and parenthood status.

Authors: Singh Shikha , Usmani Dilshad , Jain Sanjeev Kumar , Chaudhary Saurabh , Nafees Hina
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Anthropometric hand dimensions are used in the design of hand instruments for improving the efficiency and human comfort of surgical equipment and instruments. Instruments built for large male hands make it more difficult for petite female hands to operate them, which reduces their productivity and increases the risk of musculoskeletal diseases. So, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the differences in anthropometric and biomechanical parameters between the dominant hands of adult Indian males and females.
Methods: The study was conducted on 335 Indian health care professionals of which 168 were males and 167 were females. Various anthropometric and biomechanical parameters were measured on the dominant hand of all the individuals included in the study. Length, breadth and span of a hand, as well as wrist circumference, were measured by measuring tape while handgrip strength and pinch strength was recorded by Jamar dynamometer & Jamar pinch gauge respectively. Obtained data were analyzed by applying the t-test SPSS version 27. We considered P-value <0.05 as statistically significant.
Results: A higher statistically significant difference (<0.05) was found in hand anthropometric and biomechanical parameters amongst dominant hands of Indian male and female health care professionals.
Conclusion: The present study was gender-based. All the anthropometric and biomechanical parameters were found to be of dimensions in males as compared to females. This study provides baseline anthropometric & biomechanical values of the Indian hand that will help manufacturers to redesign instruments to improve efficiency and prevent the risk of musculoskeletal disorders amongst health care professionals.

Authors: Choudhury Abhra Roy , Ankola Anil V. , Sankeshwari Roopali M. , Siddibhavi Mahantesh , Vallakunja Deepika , Khot Atrey Pai , Deshpande Apurva
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Transport workers have a very haphazard and incongruent schedule which makes it difficult for them to follow proper oral hygiene practices. The prevalence of tobacco habits is also found to be high due to their long periods of work and constant stress. This study aimed to assess the oral health status and tobacco habits of the government bus drivers and conductors of NWKRTC, Belagavi City, Karnataka. 
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 451 Government Bus drivers and other employees of NWKRTC who gave consent for the study. WHO Oral Health Assessment Form 2013 was used to record the oral health status and a self-designed, validated questionnaire was employed for recording the oral hygiene practices and tobacco-related habits. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square was used for statistical analysis.   
Results: The mean age of the employees of NWKRTC is 43.55 years and there are 414 males as compared to only 37 females. The mean DMFT score was 5.55±3.08. 228 of them had some kind of tobacco habit with guthka (25.9 percent) being the most prevalent one. 57 employees had manifestations of leukoplakia and OSMF. There was an association between tobacco habits and oral mucosal lesions as well as the DMFT score.
Conclusion: The Oral Health Status of the Government employees of NWKRTC is poor. It is further compounded by the high prevalence of tobacco habits and associated lesions and it is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

Authors: Paudel Sushil , Pudasaini Prajwal , Parajuli Niraj
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Alopecia is a dermatological condition characterized by the loss or reduction of hair. Alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia are fairly common hair disorders. Hair loss causes a significant impact in person’s life which may lead to loss of self-confidence and distorted body image.
Materials and Methods: All consenting patients with alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia, presenting to the out-patient department from September 2020 to August 2021 were enrolled based on convenience sampling method in this observational study. Ethical clearance was obtained from the ethical review committee of same institute (IRC protocol no.9/2021). All patients completed the Nepali Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Studies version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Mean scores between groups were compared with Mann-Whitney U test. 
Results: Out of 142 patients, there were 79 (55.6%) males and 63 (44.4%) females. There were 48 (33.8%) patients of alopecia areata while ninety-four (66.2%) had androgenetic alopecia.  The mean total of Dermatology Life Quality Index score was 8.16 (±6.126). Mean score of females was 9.16±5.858 which was significantly higher than that of males 7.37±6.258 (p<0.05) and the score of the androgenetic patients (9.45±6.094) was significantly higher than that of areata patients (5.65±5.417) (p<0.001). All sub-domains of the questionnaire were impaired more in female. Increasing duration of the disease and hair loss in any first degree relative increased the impairment in quality of life significantly.
Conclusion: The quality of life in females were more affected as compared to males in both kinds of hair loss. However, patients with androgenetic alopecia had a greater impairment than patients with alopecia areata in our population.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Tele-dermatology is significant for faster delivery of health care particularly in geographically isolated areas.
Objectives: To know the perceptions of tele-dermatology consultation among social media users in terms of impact, their willingness to pay for the consultation and the barrier they may have during the consultation.
Materials and Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study was done on 360 social media users online regarding impact (time and cost), willingness to pay and the barriers of tele-dermatology consultation by using the questionnaire.
Results: Participants believed the services to be time saving (91.7%) and cost effective (89.2%). Majority (70.3%) were willing to pay for services and 30.8% agreed NRs.400 fee and 37.2% agreed NRs.200 fee. Those willing to pay less than NRs 200 felt “services not being 100% reliable (59.3%), OPD price being cheaper (48.1%), saving doctor’s time too (38.3%), Wi-Fi and mobile data also cost (22.2%) and transportation fee could not be accounted to the doctor’s fee (13.6%)”. While participants not willing to pay any money responded as the services not being 100% reliable (60.7%) and preferred to visit OPD for consultation (47.7%) if paying the price. The barrier in using tele-dermatology were dissimilarity from face-to-face interaction, poor networking in rural area, unavailability of physical examination, low camera quality leading to misdiagnosis and not convenient for multiple lesions.
Conclusion: The impact of tele-dermatology in terms of cost and time is appreciable. However, for better service implementation the barriers of the participants, needs to be evaluated

Authors: Thapa Deeptara Pathak , Bhandari Sajana , Adhikari Harihar , Joshi Sammi
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that enhances visualization of morphological lesions invisible to naked eye examination and aids in clinical diagnosis. We study its role in non-melanocytic skin tumors.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dermoscopic features of non-melanocyte skin tumors of skin

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional hospital-based study including patients clinically diagnosed as non-melanocytic epidermal tumors was conducted. All dermoscopic findings were studied using a handheld pocket dermoscope (Dermlite DL1) and recorded in a preset proforma.

Results: A total of 100 patients were enrolled in the study with mean age of 37 (+/-18.34). There were 56 % females. The face was the commonest site of involvement (56%). Seborrheic keratosis was the commonest clinical diagnosis (55%), followed by pyogenic granuloma 8%, cherry angioma 7%, haemangioma 6%, basal cell carcinoma 5%, achrochordons 4%, xanthelasma, and sebaceous hyperplasia in 3% each. Squamous cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis were seen in 2% each; Angiokeratoma, Bowens disease, stetocytoma multiplex, syringoma, and neurofibroma were all found in 1% of the patients. In dermoscopy, vascular changes were seen in 41% patients, which appeared as regular in 56.1% and rest 43.9% as irregular. Non-vascular changes were seen in 68%. Dermoscopic findings of vascular and non-vascular changes were statistically significantly associated with various types of non-melanocytic epidermal tumors (P <0.05).

Conclusion: Our study shows histopathological correlation with the existing dermoscopic characteristics increases the diagnostic accuracy of various non-melanocytic tumors. However, more studies are warranted to statistically prove its utility.
Treatment of Long COVID or Post COVID syndrome: A pharmacological approach
Authors: Banerjee Indrajit , Robinson Jared , Sathian Brijesh
Published: September 2022

The novel virus SARS-CoV-2 has plagued our earth for more than a quarter of a decade and is still currently a limiting factor in our daily lives. Of late a new dilemma is beginning to incapacitate a large populous who have been infected by the virus, this condition being termed as post COVID syndrome or Long COVID.Long COVID is becoming more prolific and common amongst those infected with COVID-19 and its development in patients does not delineate between those who have suffered from a symptomatic or an asymptomatic preliminary infection. The effect of this post COVID syndrome can be multisystemic in nature and can affect the daily cognitive abilities of the individual. It is therefore pertinent and of the upmost importance that therapeutic options against Long COVID are explored as the incidence of this condition is rising and will continue to do so in future. 

Currently no definitive treatment against Long COVID has been approved and the mainstay treatment is divided into Symptomatic, Supportive and Rehabilitative treatment with self-monitoring. The crux of the current treatment trends for Long COVID is that of a multidisciplinary approach with a great portion of the treatment implicating the patient to take an active role in their recovery, self-monitoring and treatment of the syndrome. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well as the use of adaptogens has shown promising results and is advisable to be added to the treatment regimen of patients to aid in decreasing fatigue in patients suffering from post-COVID syndrome. The use of melatonin in patients suffering from insomnia and poor sleep hygiene is also advisable.
INSTITUTIONAL ENSURING THE FORMATION OF INNOVATIVE BUSINESS IN UKRAINE
Authors: Honcharenko Oksana , Ostapenko Irina
Published: September 2022

The key trends in the formation of innovative business and institutional support for the spread of organizational innovations are substantiated.

It has been established that in the national economy, the elements of institutional support for innovative business are regulated by various legal norms and are not characterized by systematicity, additions, changes and amendments are constantly made to the basic legal norms throughout the period of validity.

The evolutionary and institutional limitations of the development of organizational innovations and innovative business in the national economy are defined. It was established that the promising trajectory for innovative business is determined by such determinants as the formation of the global macrosystem; changes in the development of business strategies; political and social situation in the economy; ontological features of the fiscal system; the format of changes and features of the interaction between authorities and business entities; the development of network interactions of market participants; innovative state and development of business-oriented models and strategies.The importance of taking into account the specific evolutionary factors of the development of the national economy, which influence the formation of organizational innovations, is argued. The downward dynamics of the integrated innovation indices, which are proposed according to the criteria and characteristics of the influence of the current formal norms and the state of development of innovation processes in the economy, have been established.Argued key directions of institutional support of innovative business: cooperation of educational institutions and industry in the field of development and research; expansion of the share of exports in the field of information and communication technologies; increase in the efficiency of activity and the number of innovative enterprises; growth of output with a greater share of added value.Emphasis is placed on the instability of the institutional support of innovation processes, which does not contribute to the action of the built-in elements of restrictions, restraints and counterbalances and does not ensure the stabilization of effective regulatory impulses.It was established that the limited financial and institutional capacity of the state, as a key institution, does not contribute to the mobilization of resources and scientific potential to support fundamental and applied research, the implementation of the innovation process. Emphasis is placed on the importance of implementing measures that will contribute to the formation of an institutional environment for the development of organizational innovations.Theoretical and methodological provisions deepen the practical foundations of institutional support for innovative development of the national economy and innovative business.

Authors: Budko Oksana , Kornienko Olena
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the article is research and generalization of organizational and methodical approaches to the audit of financial results and development of directions for their improvement. The purpose and tasks of the audit of financial results are revealed in the article. The levels of the legal framework used during the audit are defined: the first - codes and laws of Ukraine, the second - accounting and auditing standards, the third - branch regulations, the fourth - regulatory documents at the enterprise level. The sources of the audit are highlighted, which are grouped into basic documents that regulate the accounting of financial results. These include primary documents, accounting registers, financial reporting, tax reporting, and non-financial reporting. Approaches to the audit of financial results based on the results of research by domestic scientists are analyzed. The stages of the audit are defined (organizational, preparatory, main (technological), final). The sequence of planning the audit of financial results is proposed, which includes the collection of information about the financial and economic activity of the enterprise, the analysis of the main economic indicators, the verification of the mutual consistency of the indicators of the financial reporting forms, the determination of the level of materiality and the assessment of the audit risk, the assessment of the state of the internal control system, the drawing up of the plan and the verification program. Approaches to the development of an audit program (accounting, legal, industry) have been determined. Possible errors detected by the auditors during the inspection were analyzed (violations in determining the cost of works and services, display of interest received from the bank, write-off of general production costs, display of errors of past periods in financial statements). An algorithm for checking the comparability of the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Financial Results is presented. A format for summarizing the results of the audit of financial results is proposed, which will ensure the visibility of the work performed by the auditors and the control of detected errors, violations and remarks.
The Globetrotter’s Identity: Michel Sittow in the International Historiographies
Authors: Rojewski Oskar J.
Published: September 2022

Michel Sittow was a disciple of Hans Memling and a follower of the fifteenth-century school of Bruges, who led the art of northern portraiture through the Renaissance. This painter from Reval (currently Tallinn) travelled around Europe, working for the most significant monarchs of that time: Isabella of Castile, Margaret of Austria, Charles V, Christian II Oldenburg and perhaps Henry VIII. Even though studied by multiple researchers from Europe and the US, his oeuvre is still giving rise to many questions for art historians. This study’s aim is to analyse the international historiography of Michel Sittow, starting with the first attributions of his artworks, and comparative studies of German historians who called the painter Michel Sittow and the Spanish school where he was known as Melchior Alemán. In 1940 Paul Johannsen published the document that indicates Michel Sittow’s stay in Spain. The post-war historiography was not interested in Sittow’s life, except in the work of the Latvian origin Belgian researcher Jazeps Trizna, who published the first monograph on his artworks in 1976. He was the first to unify both historiographical personalities the one of Michel Sittow, and the one of Miguel Alemán. Meanwhile in Estonian literature, Sittow’s story appeared as a romantic symbol of independence from the Soviet Union in Jaan Kross’s novel. In the last twenty years, with the development of the radiographic method of artwork analysis, researchers such as Else Kai Sass, Matthias Weniger, Chiyo Ishikawa, and Pilar Silva Maroto have revived many questions about Sittow’s career, style, and globetrotting around European courts. However, the first exhibition that reunited Michel’s artworks, held in 2018 in Washington and Tallinn marking the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Estonian independence, did not solve many of Sittow’s life secrets.
The So-called Copernicus’ Chapel: a Jubilee Creation in the Gothic St John’s Cathedral in Toruń
Authors: Jakubek-Raczkowska Monika , Raczkowski Juliusz
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the history of transformation and re-arrangement of the first from the West chapel on the South side of the Gothic parish church of the Old Town in Toruń, at present the Toruń Cathedral of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist. The former merchants’ chapel dedicated to St Nicholas over its history had changed its furnishing and patrocinium twice (St Michael the Archangel/ The Guardian Angels), which had been dictated by religious needs. In the 19th century it had also assumed the function of baptismal chapel and in 1973 – the Copernicus Jubilee Year – gained an entirely new arrangement to suit the memoria of the astronomer, who was born in this town. From than on it is universally referred to “The Copernicus Chapel”. The Authors analyse the historic grounds for that commemoration (the Copernicus memorabilia collected in that interior), the principles of its new arrangement with the use of Medieval elements of the church furnishing, the elements of historic and emotional narrative as well as the contemporary implications of that creation.

Published: September 2022

Вступ: Незважаючи на основну добре відому епідеміологічну проблему за останній період, травматизм є однією з основних причин смерті у всіх країнах Європейського регіону ВООЗ, незалежно від економічного статусу. Як ми всі можемо зрозуміти, смертельні травми – це лише незначна частина всіх травм, які в основному складаються з нелетальних, але іноді надзвичайно важких травм. Є деякі фактори ризику та захисні фактори травми, які роблять передбачуваними та запобіжними багато аспектів травми. Починаючи з цього моменту, було розроблено кілька прогностичних шкал, але вони не є універсальними через поліморфні особливості пацієнтів, які отримували лікування в різних медичних системах. Це є причиною того, що існуючі шкали слід постійно переоцінювати та коригувати. У цій статті дані біохімії, дані йонограми та гемолейкограми, стать, вік та супутні захворювання були розглянуті як провісники та проаналізовані без анатомічного компонента травми, що продемонструвало здатність прогнозувати в попередніх дослідженнях. Ці змінні не були вибрані випадковим чином. По-перше, ці показники відображають стан різних систем органів. По-друге, ця інформація є доступною для кожного пацієнта з важкою травмою, який потрапляє до реанімації. На основі отриманих результатів будуть запропоновані потенційні моделі з урахуванням біологічної статі та віку. Мета та завдання: Тестувати рутинні клінічні/параклінічні параметри, як провісники виживання важкої травми, щоб позначити потенційно «ефективні» змінні для заповнення загальних балів травми. Методи: Аналітичне когортне клінічне дослідження (ретро проспективне) було розроблене для аналізу даних 2651 пацієнта з важкою травмою, послідовно госпіталізованих до травматологічного центру з Республіки Молдова у період з січня 2013 року по листопад 2018 року. база даних без персональних даних. Були розглянуті спеціальні критерії включення та виключення. Ефективні біомаркери/фактори ризику були виявлені та вивчені із використанням статистичної обробки даних з метою розробки альтернативних прогнозних моделей результатів лікування (виживання / смерті). Результати: Майже всі параметри, включені в дослідження, показали прогностичні здібності при одновимірному аналізі. Використовуючи клініко-параклінічні дані, включаючи супутні захворювання, була розроблена багатоваріантна модель прогнозування важкої травми. Висновок: Біохімічні параметри, показники йонограми та гемолейкограми, що відображають реакцію при травматичному ушкодженні, є потенційним джерелом для прогнозування відповіді на лікування коваріатами результатів лікування у важких випадках травматизму. Більше того, разом із супутніми захворюваннями при багатовимірному аналізі ці рутинні параметри показали прогнозуючий потенціал.

Метою дослідження було оцінити ефективність та безпеку застосування у пацієнтів при трансплантації рогівки модифікованих схем анестезії, доповнених блокадою крило-піднебінної ямки і / або препаратом дексмедетомідін. Матеріали і методи: в дослідження було включено 91 пацієнта, які перенесли кератопластику. Пацієнти були розділені на 3 групи в залежності від застосованої схеми анестезії. Результати: всі три схеми дозволяють підтримувати основні параметри гемодинаміки і глибину седації в межах референсних значень. Кожна із запропонованих схем показала свою ефективність при контролі інтраопераційного болю. При аналізі вираженості болю в післяопераційному періоді і кількості епізодів нудоти і блювання найкращі результати отримані у пацієнтів, яким була виконана блокада крилопіднебінної ямки і застосований дексмедетомідін (група ДБ).

Authors: Сухонос Р.Є.
Published: September 2022

У світі від ожиріння і його ускладнень щорічно помирає близько 2,8 млн. чоловік. Баріатрична хірургія набуває популярності, тим самим підвищує актуальність розгляду проблеми періопераційного менеджменту у хворих на ожиріння. Ожиріння стає причиною захворювань багатьох систем та органів, що підвищує ризик виникнення ускладнень в періопераційному періоді, в тому числі і летальних випадків. Метою цієї роботи є вивчення особливостей пацієнтів з морбідним ожирінням, як об’єктів оперативного баріатричного втручання, котрим проводиться анестезіологічне забезпечення. Було проведено аналіз досліджень, що мали стосунок до баріатричної хірургії, анестезіологічного забезпечення, ожиріння та патофізіологічних особливостей організму хворих на ожиріння; розглянуто інтра-/ післяопераційні ризики, на базі цього розглянуто превентивні заходи; розглянуто проблему важких дихальних шляхів, важкої вентиляції та інтубації трахеї, а також, їх прогнозування. Після отриманих результатів дослідження, зроблені наступні висновки: ризик анестезії та хірургічного втручання вищий у пацієнтів із ожирінням; анестезіологи повинні бути знайомі з клінічним веденням пацієнтів із ожирінням для всіх типів операцій, особливо для хірургічних процедур зниження ваги; індукція та підтримка анестезії та оксигенації, вентиляції, інтубації та лікування болю можуть бути складними у хворих на ожиріння; у пацієнтів із ожирінням підвищений ризик розвитку післяопераційних ускладнень.

This essay considers Thomas Amory’s Memoirs of the Lives of Several Ladies of Great Britain (1755) and The Life and Opinions of John Buncle, Esq. (1756) as experiments in the novel form. Amory’s novels flout many of the genre’s central conventions—like plot and character development—and instead present a deluge of facts, theories, and natural historical and antiquarian descriptions. I argue that these novels offer a peculiar sort of formal or fictional realism that attends not to particular people or places but to the general impressions of objects and ideas. In light of William Stukeley’s antiquarianism, which includes a model for what I label an “ecstatic epistemology” that affectively registers a general sense of the whole in excess of a ruin’s fragments, I read the formal peculiarities of Amory’s novels as a means for producing knowledge about the forms of ideas. By attaching feelings to these ideas—feelings that range from boredom to sublimity—Amory’s novels can give us the general sense of their form.

As part of the study of the local rural economy, developed in 2022 by All-Russian Institute for Agrarian Issues and Informatics named after A.A. Nikonov, an analysis was made of the development of rural small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Tambov region based on SPARK-interfax database for 2018-2020. The most attractive non-agricultural businesses of rural SMEs have been identified, their contribution to the economic performance of all enterprises in the region has been determined. It is shown that the analyzed rural SMEs turned out to be more stable in terms of population dynamics and increased revenue faster in comparison with urban SMEs over the past three years. It is concluded that in terms of the main types of specialization activities of rural SMEs, they are competitive with urban enterprises in terms of profitability per ruble of revenue, capital productivity, and debt burden. Despite the attractiveness of trade, manufacturing, construction, and transportation for rural SMEs, agriculture remains one of the most significant for this category of farms in terms of revenue and profit.

The article presents an overview of agroecological approaches that deserve attention when discussing the phenomenon of sustainable development, since they link issues of environmental safety, production and consumption, social innovation and the mobilization of local knowledge. The turning points that arise in the development of the world agroecosystem require a change in the paradigm of food production and consumption. Understanding and adequate assessment of the problems underlying the discussion of the issues put forward in the article is the key to the formation of sustainable agroecosystems at different levels. Agroecology is presented as a dynamically developing concept, increasingly visible in agricultural and scientific discourse, capable of making a significant contribution to the transformation of agroecosystems based on ecological principles in order to form socially equitable systems. Agroecological techniques are considered as allowing to master, maintain and strengthen biological and ecological processes in agroecosystems, to form more diverse, resistant to external factors and productive agroecosystems.

The necessity of forming a national export policy in the agricultural sector of the economy is revealed. At this historical stage, a sharp tightening of economic, political and financial sanctions against our country will lead to significant changes in the conditions for the development of its agricultural sector of the economy and export potential, for reliable food security. In such a situation, not only will a number of additional difficulties of an internal and external nature arise, but also new opportunities will appear to overcome or mitigate them. The development of exports of food products and agricultural raw materials should not undermine the domestic agro-food market, disrupt the food supply system of the country and its individual regions, the formation of insurance funds and state reserves. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the effective demand and improvement of the nutrition structure of the population, the most likely fluctuations in agricultural production in the country and the conjuncture of the world agro-food market, the improvement of export operations with agricultural and food products. The national export policy in the agricultural sector of the economy should not only rely on the modern state agrarian policy, but also specify its individual positions related to foreign economic activity. Such an approach will have a significant positive impact on the agricultural sector and the country’s economy, its economic and geopolitical situation, and will make a worthy contribution to solving the world food problem, which will only worsen in the near future.

Introduction. Methods of radiologic imaging have taken a leading place in the assessment of damage to the roots of the cervical and brachial plexuses. One of the variants of damage is avulsion injury with partial or complete detachment of the nerve root at the place of its exit from the spinal cord. The leading position in the visualization of such lesion, until recently, was occupied by computed tomographic myelography. At the same time, it has a number of disadvantages, and therefore the search for alternative imaging methods remains relevant. Aim. To study the opportunities of assessing avulsion damage to the roots of the cervical and brachial ple¬xuses in avulsion injuries in patients with traction injury using 3D-CISS technique in comparison with CT-myelography. Materials and methods. The study included 50 patients of both sexes hospitalized at the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Federal Neurosurgical Center " of the Ministry of Health of Russia with avulsion injuries in the roots of the cervical or brachial plexuses of traction origin. The studies were performed on MRI scanners with a magnetic field strength of 1.5 Tesla using the 3D-CISS MRI technique and CT-myelography in a neurosurgical hospital using a Siemens SOMATOM Definintion AS spiral tomograph. The patients underwent surgical reconstruction of the avulsion lesion of the nerve roots. Results. Features of injuries to the nerve roots of the cervical and brachial plexus: possible visualization of pseudomeningocele with CT-myelography and 3DCISS technique, visualization of an interrupted root course with 3D-CISS technique. With the 3DCISS technique, the data corresponded to intraoperative data more often than with CT-myelography. The results of the MRI method using the 3D-CISS technique are more reliable in comparison with CT myelography in the assessment of pathological changes in the nerve roots. Conclusion. 3D-CISS is a more effective technique for visualizing nerve root avulsion injury compared to CT-myelography.
