On a new sum of equality algebras
Authors: Zahiri O.
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the construction of ordinal sums in the class of equality algebras. Although the ordinal sum of linear equality algebras remains linear, this property might not hold for representable equality algebras in general. We present (prime) deductive systems for the ordinal sum of each family of equality algebras, which help us find a necessary and sufficient condition under which an ordinal sum of equality algebras is representable.
The (Un)Finished Ukrainian World War II
Authors: Lysenko Oleksandr
Published: July 2024

The text examines one of the most difficult periods in the history of people of Ukraine – the events of the World War II.
The purpose of this survey is to show the existential nature of the largest armed conflict in the history of mankind for Ukrainians, which was determined by the real threat of de­population, as well as the deprivation of their natural right to self-determination. Not only great and influential, but also smaller actors of international arena had their own inter­ests in Ukrainian territories, raw materials, and industrial and human resources. Howev­er, Moscow considered Ukraine to be the sphere of its undivided domination and used all means to solve the “Ukrainian question” according to its own scenarios. The first Sovieti­sation unequivocally confirmed the Kremlin’s intentions to implement the Bolshevik pro­ject in the Ukrainian regions annexed in 1939–1940. Under the collision of two totalitarian systems – Soviet and Nazi – Ukrainian political independence-oriented forces managed to organise themselves for resistance and protection of the indigenous interests of the people of Ukraine. The organisation of Ukrainian nationalists, as well as representatives of other political groups created their own armed formations – such as “Poliska Sich”, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, self-defence units – which launched a struggle against the German and Soviet occupational forces and administration. This asymmetric confronta­tion had great political and moral-psychological significance, affirming the vitality of the “Ukrainian idea” and the continuity of the struggle for the restoration of Ukrainian state­hood. The Stalinist regime needed more than 10 years to suppress the national liberation movement in Ukraine. Yet Ukrainians did not come to terms with communist tyranny and resisted it until the fall of the Soviet Union. In the current confrontation with the Russian aggression, Ukraine is finally breaking with its imperial past and establishing it as an in­dependent, democratic state.

Uso de alto flujo en pacientes con patologías respiratorias restrictivas
Authors: Inmediato Martín
Published: July 2024

Restrictive respiratory pathologies (RRP) such as pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and systemic sclerosis are characterized by a decrease in the lungs' ability to expand and contract adequately. This leads to dyspnea, hypoxemia, and reduced quality of life. In severe cases, mechanical ventilatory support may be required. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the available evidence on the use of high-flow oxygen (HFO) in patients with RRP. We seek to analyze in detail the physiological effects of HFO in this context, the potential clinical benefits, the safety considerations associated with its use and the areas that require further investigation. The design of the study was descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective literature review type. HFO has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional mechanical ventilation. Studies show that HFO improves oxygenation, decreases the work of breathing, and increases lung capacity in patients with RRP. Clinically, reduction in dyspnea, less need for intubation and reduction in mortality have been observed. HFO emerges as a promising therapeutic option, with applications in the management of acute decompensations and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. However, more research is needed to define its optimal role in the treatment of restrictive respiratory pathologies.
Redes neuronales artificiales aplicadas a la industria del aluminio
Authors: Tosta Rafael
Published: July 2024

Artificial neural networks (ANN) are used in the aluminum industry to optimize production processes, improve product quality and predict equipment failures. For example, in aluminum smelting, ANNs can be used to monitor the temperature of the smelting furnace, monitor the solidification process, and predict when preventive maintenance is needed on machinery. Likewise, in the detection of defects in products, in the quality control of sheets. ANNs can also predict mechanical properties such as strength, hardness or ductility of laminated materials. For example, ANNs can be trained to predict the microstructure resulting from a rolling process based on parameters such as temperature, rolling speed, and applied pressure. They can also be used to predict properties of the electrolytic bath, anodic properties, in general everything related to the electrolytic process.

La impugnación en Ecuador: Pilar esencial para la legalidad y participación ciudadana democrática [Contestation in Ecuador: An essential pillar of legality and democratic citizen participation]
Authors: Muñoz-Subía Katerine
Published: July 2024

En Ecuador, la intersección entre el entramado jurídico y la administración pública destaca por la concesión, mediante la Constitución de 2008, del vital derecho de impugnar actos administrativos a los ciudadanos. Este derecho, fundamentado en la jerarquía constitucional y la protección de derechos individuales, es fundamental para preservar la juridicidad de las acciones gubernamentales. La impugnación, concebida como la expresión de inconformidad ante actuaciones erradas, no se limita a discrepancias simples, sino que se presenta como un medio amplio para corregir acciones contrarias al orden jurídico. La legislación ecuatoriana, a través del Código Orgánico Administrativo, ofrece recursos como la apelación y el extraordinario de revisión, permitiendo a los administrados buscar revisión en la vía administrativa. En el ámbito educativo, las Juntas Distritales de Resolución de Conflictos refuerzan la necesidad de mecanismos ágiles para corregir posibles errores, promoviendo así una administración transparente y justa, alineada con los principios constitucionales y democráticos.
Desentrañando el laberinto del femicidio en Ecuador y tejiendo un futuro de igualdad [Unravelling the labyrinth of femicide in Ecuador and weaving a future of equality
Authors: Gamboa-Vargas Sabina Lorena
Published: July 2024

El femicidio en Ecuador es una urgencia social que trasciende las estadísticas, revelando profundas raíces en la desigualdad de género. Este fenómeno no puede abordarse únicamente desde una perspectiva policial; requiere un enfoque sistémico que desafíe las normas culturales arraigadas. La humanización de las víctimas destaca su dolor y la necesidad de cambiar actitudes desde la base. La educación emerge como una herramienta transformadora para desmantelar estereotipos. El llamado a la acción no solo exige condena, sino la implementación de políticas efectivas y cambios legales. Ecuador enfrenta un desafío monumental, pero el compromiso con la equidad de género es esencial para construir un futuro donde las mujeres vivan sin miedo y contribuyan plenamente a la sociedad.

Influence of surgical treatment of varicocele on the pathospermia and the level of sperm DNA fragmentation
Authors: Panchenko I. A. , Panchenko R. I. , Naumov V. K.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Varicocele is a varicose vein in the testicle caused by pathological venous reflux. Clinically, varicocele is found in 15% of the male population, with 35% of men with primary infertility and 70-81% of men with secondary infertility. Uncontrolled, excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause single- and/ or double-strand breaks in sperm DNA, commonly referred to as sperm DNA fragmentation. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of surgical treatment of varicocele on the level of DNA fragmentation and to develop prognostic criteria for restoring the fertility of patients.

Materials and methods. The study is based on a comparative analysis of the results of examination and treatment of 93 patients without concomitant pathology, with pathospermia, increased levels of DNA fragmentation and varicocele, who received surgical treatment. All patients were followed up for 3–9 months after surgery. The control group did not receive postoperative therapy – 34 people, the main group (59 patients) received drug rehabilitation – a complex of spermatoprotectors and antioxidants – for 3 months after surgical treatment.

Results of the study and their discussion. In patients who received surgical treatment, there was a normalization of the level of DNA fragmentation after 3 months in the postoperative period, on average the positive dynamics was 21% (from an average fragmentation level of 22.82% to 15.84%, p <0.05), the prognosis for pregnancy in the couple became favorable. An improvement in DNA fragmentation indicators was observed in parallel with an improvement in spermogram indicators in the postoperative period. Progression of left testicular hypotrophy in the postoperative period was not detected. No relapses or other complications were noted.

Conclusions. Treatment of varicocele improves fertility in patients with pathospermia, increased levels of DNA fragmentation, which is consistent with research data from other authors, which confirmed the fact of a significant improvement in ejaculate parameters (sperm concentration, motility and morphology) However, the dynamics of normalization of sperm DNA fragmentation occurs, according to our data, more dynamically (within 3 months in the postoperative period) than the improvement of pathospermia (OAT syndrome) and does not depend on the presence of postoperative drug rehabilitation.

Introduction. Testicular neoplasms (TN) are one of the most common oncological diseases among young men. Currently the sexual function of such patients remains understudied. The aim of the study was to assess the state of sexual function in men with testicular neoplasms before treatment.

Material and methods. The cross-sectional continuous single-center study included 35 men with TN. The average age of patients was 34.2–8.2 years (95% CI: 31.4-37.1). The comparison group included 28 healthy volunteers, average age 30.5–4.9 years (95% CI: 28.6-32.4). Some social characteristics of the patient (marriage and children), the state of sexual function (using the IIEF-15 and ICF questionnaires), the level of anxiety and depression (according to the HADS scale), the levels of total and free testosterone, globulin-binding sex hormone (SHBG), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin were evaluated.

Results. Patients in the main group showed a decrease in erection in 10 (28.6%), satisfaction with sexual intercourse in 12 (34.3%), impaired orgasmic function in 2 (5.7%), decreased libido and overall satisfaction in 9 (25.7%). Nonparametric analysis revealed a statistically significant decrease in libido (p < 0.05), satisfaction with sexual intercourse (p < 0.05) and overall satisfaction (p = 0.007) in patients of the main group compared with the control group. Patients with testicular neoplasms had disorders of the mental component – in 12 (34.3%), erection – in 20 (57.1%), neurohumoral – in 25 (71.4%), ejaculatory – in 10 (28.6%) patients. Subclinical depression was observed in 13 (37.1%) and clinically pronounced depression in 11 (31.4%) patients of the main group. Anxiety and depression were statistically significantly more common in the main group (p = 0.0013). The level of anxiety and depression was more pronounced in unmarried (p = 0.013) children-free patients (p = 0.025). Low levels of total testosterone were detected in 13 (39.4%), free testosterone in 12 (38.7%), LH in 11 (33.3%), FSH in 6 (18.7%) patients from the main group. Elevated levels of LH were recorded in 4 (12.1%), FSH in 4 (12.5%), prolactin in 2 (6.9%) and SHBG in 1 (5%).

Conclusion. Patients with TN have a deterioration in sexual function compared to a healthy population of the same age group. The further studies are needed to access the influence of tumor histology and treatment of sexual function.

Aim. To determine the role of taxonomic bacterial diversity of the urethral and testicular microbiota in the development of male infertility using high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Material and methods. In the period between 2018 and 2022 we examined 53 patients. Three study groups were formed: Infertile patients with nonobstructive azoospermia and concomitant varicocele (n = 13) – group 1; Infertile patients with obstructive azoospermia (n = 29) – group 2; Fertile patients with confirmed paternity and testicular pathology requiring histological verification to exclude testicular oncopathology (n = 11) – group 3. Each patient underwent TESE with testicular both and urethral tissue sampling in order to compare the bacterial landscape and control the purity of the method. The obtained material was sequenced using a high-throughput method (NGS).

Results.According to our findings, the testicular tissue of obstructive azoospermia patients had significantly depleted bacterial diversity in comparison to nonobstructive azoospermia and concomitant varicocele ones. Also, the fertile group turned out to be the most diverse in its taxonomic community. These results may suggest the bacterial microbiome’s influence on men’s reproductive health.

Discussion.Our urogenital bacterial diversity analysis showed that human testicular tissue is not a microbiologically sterile environment and also presented new data associated with testicular tissue and its possible relations with male infertility.

Conclusion. A focus on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the testicular microbial community may form the new basis in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility associated with various types of azoospermia

Published: July 2024

Background. Existing methods for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) do not always provide the necessary therapeutic effect and/or may not be recommended for certain patients.

Aim. Evaluate the effectiveness of correcting erectile dysfunction using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT).

Material and methods. 100 men were randomly assigned to 3 groups. Group 1 (n=20) received ESWT treatment on the penis twice a week for 6 weeks. Group 2 (n=40) and Group 3 (n=40) had two visits per week for 6 weeks, involving both ESWT and PRP injections into the penis. In Group 2, PRP activation was performed using ESWT, while in Group 3, it was done using a 10% solution of CaCl2. Patients were evaluated at 0 and 60 days of the study, assessing IIEF-5, SEP, EHS, GAQ, blood testosterone levels, and penile Doppler ultrasound with PGE1.

Results. In group 1 IIEF-5 improved from 14.5 (10.5-17) to 19.5 (15.5-21) (р<0.05). SEP changed from 2 (1-2) to 3 (2-4) (р<0.05). EHS improved from 1.5 (1-2) to 3 (2.5-3) (р<0.05). Baseline PSV was 16.3 cm/s (12.2-22.7), at 60 days post ESWT was 24 cm/s (19.4-26.8) (р<0.05) and RI changed from 0.7 (0.7-0.9) to 0.9 (0.8-1) according D-PDU (р<0.05). 14 patients (70 %) noted positive dynamics by GAQ at the last exam. In group 2 IIEF-5 was 13 (11-15) at 0 days, 18 (16-20) at 60 day (р<0.05). SEP improved from 2 (1.5-2) to 3 (3-4) (р<0.05). EHS changed from 2 (1-2) to 3 (2-3) (р<0.05). D-PDU results demonstrated increase median PSV 15.6 cm/s (12.1-22.8) to 27 cm/s (20.6-33.5) (р<0.05) and median RI from 0.8 (0.7-1) to 1 (0.8-1) (р=0.02). 34 men declared positive effects according to GAQ (85 %) In group 3 IIEF-5 results improved from 13 (9-15) to 18.5 (15-20.5) (р<0.05). SEP improved from 2 (1-2) to 3 (3-4) (р<0.05). EHS changed from 1 (1-2) to 3 (3-3) (р<0.05). PSV increased from 17 cm/s (10.3-25) to 27.8 cm/s (20-36.6) (р<0.05). RI improved from 0.8 (0.7-0.9) to 0.9 (0.8-1) (р=0.005). 33 patients respond to an improvement of erectile functions (82.5 %) by GAQ.

Conclusion. All treatment methods were well-tolerated by all patients. The study results indicate a positive trend in improving erectile function and increasing total testosterone levels in the blood. When comparing groups, combination therapy significantly improves erectile function according to SEP, EHS, and penile Doppler ultrasound assessments. ESWT can be suggested as an activator for PRP.

Numerous studies have established that chronic prostatitis/ chronic pelvic pain syndrome ( CP/CPPS) is the focus of attention of the global medical community, because it is the most common type of disease, the treatment of which has largely unsatisfactory results.

Purpose of the work: to conduct a comparative analysis of the microbiota of prostate secretions in patients with CP/CPPS IIIa and IIIb using mass spectrometry of microbial markers (MSMM).

Material and methods. A prospective comparative study was conducted from 2018 to 2023 at the SM-Clinic medical center. 205 patients with prostatitis-like symptoms and 70 males who applied for a screening examination with no complaints at the age of 25 to 50 years were selected. The subjects were divided into three groups: group 1 – patients with CP/CPPS category IIIa, group 2 ( n = 85) patients with CP/CPPS category IIIb with clinical manifestations of chronic prostatitis and group 3 ( n = 70) – without clinical manifestations prostatitis/control group. A study of the microbiota of prostate secretions was carried out using gas chromatograph mass spectrometer "Maestro" (LLC "Interlab", Russia).

Results. The results of statistical analysis showed that the level of cocci and bacilli, anaerobes, actinobacteria, fungi and yeasts, as well as total viruses in patients with CP/CPPS IIIa, compared with patients with CP/CPPS IIIb and the control group, was significantly higher ( p = 0.0020 ; p < 0.0001; p < 0.0001; p = 0.0254; p = 0.0254). It was revealed that in patients with CP/CPPS IIIa, compared with patients with CP/CPPS IIIb and healthy people, there was a significant increase in the total load of cocci and bacilli, anaerobes, actinobacteria, fungi and yeasts, as well as total viruses . When analyzing the relationship between the absolute number of microorganisms, it was revealed that an increase in the level of many microorganisms is associated with an increase in the probability of detecting a leukocyte level 10. An analysis of the relationship between the occurrence of individual microorganisms and leukocyte values in prostate secretions ≥10 showed that an increase in the indicators of many microorganisms, compared with the control group, increased the chances of having a leukocyte level ≥10 several times.

Conclusion.  Identification of microbial associations in prostate secretions using the MSMM method and an increase in the total load of microorganisms in patients with CP/CPPS IIIa, compared with CP/CPPS IIIa and the control group, suggests the role of infection in a certain part of patients with CP/CPPS IIIa, which dictates the need to change the view of the urologist in the diagnosis and treatment strategy of these patients.

Published: July 2024

Kıssalar, hikâyeler ve benzeri anlatı türleri, kültürel hayatın önemli bir bölümünü oluştururlar. İnançlar ve düşüncelerle, tavır ve davranışların izahında bu araçlara sıklıkla başvurulur. Bu önemi sebebiyle kıssa ve benzeri anlatılar, edebî ve dinî-tasavvufî kaynaklarda yoğun bir şekilde işlenmektedir. Kıssalar çeşitli amaçlarla yazılsa da özellikle dinî-tasavvufî alanda eğitici ve yönlendirici bir amaç taşır. İyiler ve kötülerin rol modelleri ortaya konur; erdemlere ve ahlâkî olgunluğa teşvik edilir, kötüler ve kötülüklerden sakındırma amacı güdülür. 6-7/12-13. asırda Dımaşk’ta yaşayan Hanbeli âlimî Muvaffakuddin İbn Kudâme el-Makdisî, fıkıh-kelam alanındaki eserlerinin yanı sıra tasavvuf alanında da eserler yazarak insanları bilinçlendirmeye çalışmıştır. Bu eserlerinden biri de yüce Allah’ın af kapısının her zaman açık olduğunu tevbekârların kıssalarıyla anlattığı Kitâbü’t-Tevvâbîn adlı eseridir. Bu eserinde yer alan kıssalardan biri de Abbâsî halifesi Me’mûn (198-218/813-833) ile evladı Ali’nin tevbeleri üzerinedir. Kıssada Me’mûn’un oğlu Ali, zühd ve takvasından etkilendiği bir hamal sayesinde elindeki imkanlarla birlikte makamını ve sarayını terk ederek zühd yoluna girmekte, çile çekerek yaptıklarıyla babası Me’mûn’un tevbesine vesile olup onun dönüşümüne katkı sağlamaktadır. İşte bu çalışmada, söz konusu kıssadan hareketle Ali’nin tarihi kişiliği ve kıssanın geçtiği kaynaklar çeşitli yönleriyle incelenerek tahlil edilecektir. Aynı zamanda çetrefilli bir alan olan menkıbevî-tarihî kıssaların gerçekliği üzerinde durularak mezkûr kıssanın gerçeklik düzeyi ve iletmek istediği mesajlar irdelenecektir.

İnanç sistemleri toplumsal yaşamı yönlendirme ve değiştirme işlevine sahiptir. Bu bağlamda inançların kültürün önemli bir parçası olarak kabul edilmesi araştırmalara konu olmuştur. Sosyal bilimcilerin din ve inançla ilgili çalışmaları son yüzyılda artış göstermiştir. Türkiye’de konuyla ilgili ölçek çalışmaları Batı’dan uyarlama ile başlamış, bir süre sonra kültüre özgü ölçek denemeleri ile devam etmiştir. Bu alanda çalışmaların artmasına rağmen inançla ilgili çalışmalar kendi içinde bazı zorluklar barındırmaktadır. Kavramlara yüklenen anlamların farklılaşması bu zorluklar arasındadır. Aynı zamanda bireylerin inanç düzeylerini aktarma noktasında olduğundan farklı gösterme çabaları mümkündür. Çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de inanç düzeylerini belirlemeye yönelik olarak oluşturulan ölçek çalışmaları bağlamında literatürü ortaya koymaktır. İnanç ölçüm araçlarında amentü ya da imanın şartları olarak isimlendirilen bölüm, çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında inanç, dini inançlar ve dindarlık ölçeklerine odaklanılmıştır. Uyarlama ölçek olarak nitelendirilen ölçekler çalışma kapsamında değildir. Konuyla ilgili yapılan literatür çalışmaları genellikle dindarlık ölçekleri ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu çalışmayı özgün kılan durum daha geniş bir veri yelpazesini kapsaması ve dindarlık ölçümlerinden ziyade bireylerin inanç düzeylerini ölçen çalışma örneklerini incelemesidir. Nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada elde edilen veriler, doküman inceleme yöntemlerine ilişkin alan yazın taranarak toplanmıştır. Çalışma, ölçekleri içerdiği inanç bileşenleri, oluşturulma tarihi ve gelecekteki araştırmalara temel oluşturması gibi özellikleri açısından ele alarak bir betimleme yapmaktadır. Bu çalışma, dindarlık ve inanç düzeylerinin çeşitli yönlerini ölçmeyi amaçlayan çalışmalar incelenerek oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda dindarlık biçim ve boyutlarında farklılıklar olduğu, ölçeklerin oluşturulmasında benzer ifadelerin kullanıldığı, çalışmalarda elde edilen sonuçların her zaman birbiriyle tutarlı olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. İncelenen ölçeklerin temel inanç bileşeni Allah inancıdır. Aynı zamanda araştırma aracılığıyla ölçek çalışmalarına katkıda bulunmak isteyen bilim insanlarına genel bir betimleme yapılmıştır.

Published: July 2024

Poaching a significant volume of the reef gastropod topshell Tectus niloticus in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) in 2006 to 2007 has prompted the management to seek detailed information on the impact of such illegal activities. To determine the present status and trends of topshell population in TRNP and to gather background information about poaching and trade, a follow up assessment in 2008 was conducted. Data on trading and poaching were derived from interviews and other secondary data. Abundance of topshells varied according to three surveyed depths; the highest was in the middle sites (~1.5m), followed by intertidal (1m); and the lowest abundance occurred at 5m deep sites. The abundance in 2008 was 75% lesser than in 2006. Since 2004, there were 33 cases of poaching apprehensions in the park, of which, 15 were topshell related, involving 26 boats and 190 fishermen. The promising economic benefit and the demand in black markets, plus the assurance to collect much volume, appeared to be the driving forces for topshell collection in TRNP. To prevent further decline on topshell populations, there is a need to sustain law enforcement and patrolling in the park.

Formal theory of quantifiers in natural language and their syllogisms
Authors: Novak Vilem
Published: July 2024

Quantifiers occur in natural language as expressions using which we quantify a number of some objects in a given universe. A special class of them are intermediate quantifiers, for example, many, most, almost all, a few, a little and others. A detailed elaboration of the latter is provided in Peterson (2000). Their formal theory was established in (Novák, 2008). According to it, intermediate quantifiers form a special theory TIQ of higher-order fuzzy logic (fuzzy type theory) (FTT) with models based on the standard Łukasiewicz MVΔ-algebra.
