Published: February 2023

Background: Adjuvants to local anesthetics have been used to prolong the duration of analgesia after brachial plexus block surgery. This study evaluates the effects of adding magnesium sulfate and fentanyl with ropivacaine in the supraclavicular brachial plexus block to prolong the duration of analgesia.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade with the quality of perioperative analgesia and post-operative side effects if any, provided by magnesium sulfate and fentanyl as adjuvants to ropivacaine in supraclavicular block.
Materials and Methods: A total of 80 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists Grade I/II scheduled for elective upper limb surgeries were randomly allocated into two groups. Group M received 30 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine with 250 mg magnesium sulfate and Group F received 30 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine with 50 μg fentanyl for supraclavicular brachial plexus block using PNS guidance. The onset and duration of sensory and motor block, time for the requirement of rescue analgesia, and adverse events during the perioperative period were noted.
Results: Onset of sensory block. In group M, the mean onset of sensory blockade was 8.91±1.11 min and in Group F, the mean onset of sensory blockade was 12.12±1.14 min. The mean onset of motor block was 11.57±1.62 min in Group M, and 15.17±1.43 min in Group F. Duration of sensory block is 432.9±38.24 min in Group M and 553.45±39.91 min in Group F, respectively, Duration of motor block in Group M is 392.55±35.22 min and in Group F is 517±44.51 min which was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Fentanyl prolonged the duration of sensory and motor block and duration of postoperative analgesia as compared to magnesium sulfate when used as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block and was not associated with any major adverse events.

Background: Cancer is not a notifiable disease in India. The data pertaining to liver cancer and hepatic lesions are very limited in India.
Aims and Objectives:  The current study was intended to observe the proportion of different types of liver lesions reported from private hospitals in Mizoram and also to study the association of liver malignancies in relation to gender and age.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study design. The data were collected from the cytopathology data base of a private laboratory (Genesis Laboratory) in Aizawl, Mizoram. Data regarding 204 patients with hepatic lesions, who have been referred from three private hospitals to a private laboratory in Mizoram from January 15, 2018, to November 31, 2021, were included in the study. Details regarding cytopathology reports of image-guided fine needle aspiration cytology of liver mass, age, and gender were collected. Air-dried smears received at a private laboratory were routinely stained with Leishman-Giemsa and Papanicolaou stains, Ziehl-Neelsen staining was done wherever needed. From the cytopathological diagnosis made, the frequency and patterns of various hepatic lesions were then analyzed using SPSS Version 22.
Results: Out of 204 cases, 15 (7.35%) cases were reported as inadequate samples and 4 cases (1.96%) were inconclusive in diagnosis. Hence, remaining 185 study participants were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 58. Majority 122 (65.40%) were males and in the age group 41–60 years (49.19%). Majority of the lesions were malignant 145 (78.37%) and remaining 40 (21.62%) were benign lesions. The most common malignant lesion found was hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) 87 (47.02%), followed by metastatic carcinoma 31 (16.75%). Liver malignancies were found to be higher among males (74.5%) as compared to females (14.3%), but were not statistically significant (P=0.08). The proportion of males (52.5%) versus females (36.5%) diagnosed with HCC was statistically significant (P=0.03).
Conclusion: The most commonly reported liver malignancy was HCC. The proportion of males diagnosed with HCC was higher than females in the present study.

A study was conducted to evaluate the comparative performance of four different lines of New Hampshire (NH) poultry breed collected from different governmental farms of Pokhara, Parwanipur, Khajura and Khumaltar, Nepal. The study was undertaken for seven months from March to September 2020. The study included 160 chicks with 20 male and 20 female from each line. The experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments of different lines and eight replications. The results showed that the highest average weight of day-old chicks was found for Khumaltar line and the lowest for Pokhara line (p<0.001). Similarly, the highest fourth week’s weight was found 237.50±16.88 g in Khajura line and the lowest 191.60±26.53 g in Parwanipur line. In case of eight weeks weight, both male and female was the highest in Khajura line, which were 0.72±0.12 kg and 0.52±0.07 kg, respectively. At that stage, the male weight was significant (p<0.001) but non-significant (p>0.05) in female. Similar pattern was found in twelve and sixteen weeks, but the weight of both sex was significant (p<0.001) at twenty and twenty-four weeks. At the final measurement in 24 weeks, the male and female weight was the highest in Khajura line and the lowest in Parwanipur line. The weight of both sexes of Pokhara and Khumaltar lines were similar. Khajura line was better than other lines indicating that this line is more appropriate be used for further improvement of the NH lines of the country.

Цель: Определить влияние внешней трудовой миграции на развитие национального рынка труда в Республике Казахстан.
Методы:  В исследовании использованы методы  статистического анализа, сопоставительного анализа и построения графиков.
Результаты: Результаты исследования сводятся к основным выводам:

Процессы внешней трудовой миграции в Республике Казахстан имеют свои характерные особенности, связанные как с политическими и экономическими преобразованиями в стране, так и с её историческим развитием.

Влияние внешней трудовой миграции на развитие национальной экономики определяется сбалансированностью рынка труда и представляет собой фактор экономической безопасности государства.
Негативные последствия эмиграции экономически активного населения, квалифицированных кадров для национальной экономики обусловливают необходимость государственного регулирования миграционных процессов, а также разработки новых концептуальных подходов к изучению проблемы внешней трудовой ми-грации для нейтрализации её негативные последствия для социально-экономического развития.

Выводы:  В ходе исследования выявлено наличие отрицательных последствий устойчивого оттока экономически активного населения, квалифицированных кадров, молодых людей с высшим образованием для социально-экономического развития страны. Процессы экономической трансформации в Казахстане, сопровождающиеся тяжелым финансовым положением, требуют вмешательства государства, в том числе путём стимулирования реэмиграции экономически активного населения, квалифицированных специалистов на основе зарубежного опыта.

Published: February 2023

Цель: Выявление влияния внутренней молодежной миграции на валовую добавленную стоимость и на индикатор рынка труда регионов Республики Казахстан.Методы: В работе использован статистические методы анализа, в том числе корреляционно-регрессионный метод. Результаты: Исследуя особенности миграционных процессов в Республике Казахстан, было выявлено влияние числа мигрировавших на рост (снижение) валовой добавленной стоимости в соответствующем регионе страны и количество рабочей силы. Авторами были выдвинуты гипотезы о наличии и направлении взаимосвязи между показателем «Валовая добавленная стоимость региона» и такими факторами, как «Численность прибывших», «Численность выбывших», а также влияние данных показателей на «Численность рабочей силы» в городах Астана и Алматы как имеющих положительное сальдо миграции. Для доказательства или опровержения данных гипотез был проведен корреляционно-регрессионный анализ. Данный анализ подтвердил обе гипотезы: миграционные процессы молодежи отрицательно влияют на формирование валовой добавленной стоимости города Астана и положительно влияют на формирование валовой добавленной стоимости города Алматы. Сила влияния различается в зависимости от возраста мигрантов . Влияние молодежной миграции на рабочую силу также отличается в зависимости от возраста молодежи. В городе Астане отрицательное влияние на рабочую силу города происходит при миграции молодежи в возрасте 14–18 лет и 19–23 лет. Положительное влияние оказывает прибывшая молодежь в возрасте 24–28 лет. В городе Алматы положительно влияет на рабочую силу города миграция молодежи всех возрастов. Но при этом при-бывшая молодежь возраста 19–23 лет имеет совсем незначительное влияние. Выводы: Политику внутренней молодежной миграции в Республике Казахстан необходимо проводить с учетом особенностей регионов и возрастов мигрирующей молодежи страны

Published: February 2023

In recent years, the higher education system of Ukraine has faced significant upheavals: the introduction of quarantine due to the Covid-19 pandemic, martial law, and active hostilities. These upheavals were the reason for the transition from the traditional form of education to the distance form. To ensure a high level of distance learning, teachers actively use online learning platforms. The peculiarity of teaching mathematics is the high level of abstraction of educational information. A critical component of the organization of distance learning in institutions of higher education is the provision of conditions for students' maximum comfortable perception of the educational material. With the transition to distance learning, the question arose as to how to make the process of learning mathematical disciplines visible and understandable for applicants. Among all pedagogical technologies, interactive learning technology occupies an important place in the implementation of distance learning in the educational process. Interactive technologies are implementation of in the educational process through online tools and services. One of the main means of interactivity is an interactive online board. The use of online boards in the educational process of higher education institutions solves the problems of ensuring visibility, interactivity, availability of quick feedback, and organization of work in a single virtual space. In the work modern online whiteboards are analyzed: Miro, CleverMaths, LiveBoard, IDroo, Drawchat, Jamboard, Scribblar, Classroomscreen, Microsoft Whiteboard, and Twiddla. The main criteria for the analysis were chosen: the possibility of online use of the board, access to participants via the link, the existence of an application for Android and IOS, and free service. Miro, LiveBoard, Jamboard, and Microsoft Whiteboard meet all the requirements of interactivity, but unfortunately have limited functionality for teaching mathematical disciplines. CleverMaths has the largest visualization functionality for teaching math disciplines. At the same time, CleverMaths lacks interactivity. The combination of CleverMaths in a complex with additional communication channels, namely programs for video conferences, allows you to achieve the necessary level of visibility and interactivity for distance learning of mathematical disciplines in higher education institutions. Key words: Interactive technologies, online boards, institutions of higher education, educational process, teaching mathematics.

Abstract. Introduction. The main results of the study of the problem of financial support of agricultural enterprises are outlined. The importance of financial support of agricultural enterprises as one of the important levers of ensuring effective financial and economic activity is substantiated. A thorough analysis of the dynamics of financial support for the functioning of agricultural enterprises of the Vinnytsia region was conducted, the results of which are structured according to the following aggregated components: assessment of the economic efficiency of enterprises and the use of their resource potential; analysis of funding sources; monitoring and diagnosis of liquidity and solvency; analysis and determination of the level and type of financial stability of enterprises; assessment of the level of business activity of enterprises; definition and retrospective analysis of the integrated indicator of financial support. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to conduct a thorough analysis of the financial support for the functioning of agricultural enterprises of the Vinnytsia region based on the results of monitoring indicators of the economic efficiency of enterprises and the use of their resource potential; analysis of funding sources; diagnostics of liquidity, solvency, financial stability and the level of their business activity. Results. The results of the analysis of the general indicators of the efficiency of production activity and the level of financial support of agricultural enterprises were formalized using the calculation and comparison of the ratios of the rates of change in their profit, revenue from sales and change in capital. It was established that, despite the steady trend of profit, the productivity of agricultural enterprises of Vinnytsia region does not meet the "golden rule of ratio" and requires the development and implementation of mechanisms to increase the efficiency of the use of their financial resources. Conclusions. The main problematic aspects of the financial support of agricultural enterprises of the Vinnytsia region are identified and the possible directions for their elimination in modern business conditions are outlined.
PUNCHING BACK: Gender, Religion and Belonging in Women-Only Kickboxing
Authors: Rana Jasmijn
Published: February 2023

In the Netherlands, girls and young women are increasingly active in women-only kickboxing. The general assumption, in the Netherlands and in western Europe more broadly, is that women’s sport is a form of secular, feminist empowerment. Muslim women’s participation would then exemplify the incongruence of Islam with the modern, secular nation-state. Punching Back provides a detailed ethnographic study that contests this view by showing that young Muslim women who kickbox establish agentive selves by playing with gender norms, challenging expectations, and living out their religious subjectivities.

OBJECTIVE

To the authors’ knowledge, no data have been reported on dopamine fluctuations on subsecond timescales in humans with alcohol use disorder (AUD). In this study, dopamine release was monitored in 2 patients with and 2 without a history of AUD during a “sure bet or gamble” (SBORG) decision-making task to begin to characterize how subsecond dopamine responses to counterfactual information, related to psychological notions of regret and relief, in AUD may be altered.

METHODS

Measurements of extracellular dopamine levels were made once every 100 msec using human voltammetric methods. Measurements were made in the caudate during deep brain stimulation electrode implantation surgeries (for treatment of movement disorders) in patients who did (AUD, n = 2) or did not (non-AUD, n = 2) have a history of AUD. Participants performed an SBORG decision-making task in which they made choices between sure bets and 50%-chance monetary gamble outcomes.

RESULTS

Fast changes were found in dopamine levels that appear to be modulated by “what could have been” and by patients’ AUD status. Positive counterfactual prediction errors (related to relief) differentiated patients with versus without a history of AUD.

CONCLUSIONS

Dopaminergic encoding of counterfactual information appears to differ between patients with and without AUD. The current study has a major limitation of a limited sample size, but these data provide a rare insight into dopaminergic physiology during real-time decision-making in humans with an addiction disorder. The authors hope future work will expand the sample size and determine the generalizability of the current results.

Scientific and technological progress in mechanical engineering is inextricably linked with the development and creation of new, more productive, more efficient equipment and the improvement of the designs of existing machines and equipment. The technical level of machines is largely determined by the perfection of the power flow drive to their working bodies. In this case, an important role is given to drives, in which the energy carrier is liquid. Such drives are called hydraulic or hydraulic drives. The use of hydraulic drives allows you to create progressive designs of machines, expand the possibilities of mechanization and automation of technological processes, to facilitate the working conditions of operators, to improve the culture of material production. Currently, hydraulic actuators are successfully used in almost all areas of industrial production, including in the construction, road, and municipal engineering industries. Small overall dimensions and weight with a significant generated power, high overload capacity in terms of power and torque, the ability to provide sufficiently large gear ratios and stepless speed control of the output link, easy reversibility, which ensures high speed and accuracy of processing control actions, the availability of automation – these are the main advantages of the hydraulic drive, which predetermine its wide application in the construction of transport and technological machines. The article defines the basic principles of the volumetric hydraulic drive, what values and indicators affect them. A goal has been defined regarding basic information about hydrostatic drives, devices and the principle of operation of hydraulic mechanisms and hydraulic devices, drawing up hydraulic circuit diagrams, the sequence of calculating a hydraulic drive and choosing hydraulic elements. The energy capabilities of the hydraulic drive, characterized by its power, are also determined.
