Authors: Nguyen Thi Cu , Tran Thi Hien
Published: June 2022

Background: Helicobacter pylori is considered the main cause of peptic ulcer in children. Studies show that the current treatment regimens for stomach ulcers caused by HP face many difficulties: partly due to poor adherence to treatment in children and partly due to increasing antibiotic resistance of HP bacteria today. 50% of children and young adults with peptic ulcer disease have multiple recurrences per year and 70% relapse the following year. Understanding the clinical and subclinical characteristics as well as the treatment results for children with peptic ulcer disease caused by HP based on the current treatment regimen will provide doctors with a basis to propose more effective treatment measures for patients.
Objectives: To describe the clinical and subclinical characteristics and to investigate factors related to the treatment outcome of peptic ulcer disease caused by Helicobacter pylori in children. Subjects and methods: The study subjects included 61 patients with peptic ulcer disease caused by Helicobacter pylori. Longitudinal follow-up descriptive research method was used. Diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease caused by Helicobacter was performed via gastroduodenal endoscopy and Clotest (+). The patients were treated according to the protocol of the Ministry of Health and were evaluated for improvement in clinical symptoms after 4 weeksBackground: Helicobacter pylori is considered the main cause of peptic ulcer in children.

ВІДОБРАЖЕННЯ ПОБУТУ ДИТИНИ ШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ У ВІТЧИЗНЯНИХ НАУКОВИХ І ЛІТЕРАТУРНИХ ДЖЕРЕЛАХ
Authors: Сухомлинська Ольга Василівна
Published: June 2022

У статті актуалізовано питання про висвітлення в наукових і літературних джерелах побуту дитини шкільного віку як однієї з важливих складових феномену дитинства, який здійснює помітний чи прихований вплив на розвиток кожного. Стаття розглядає його і як нову наукову проблему, порівнюючи емпіричні й наукові дослідження з педагогіки дитинства, оприлюднені в науковій і художній літературі різних років. Визначено й конкретизовано поняття «побут», «побут дитини», «повсякдення», «історія повсякденності» як ключові для висвітлення заявленої теми. Головними підходами, застосовуваними для її розкриття, стали джерелознавчий пошук, історіографічний та термінологічний аналіз друкованих і електронних видань із опертям на інтегровано-міжпредметний підхід. І, як результат, було визначено, що опис побуту людини виступав метою досліджень в історичній науці, яка в останні роки почала більше цікавитися історією повсякденності, етнологією, спираючись при цьому на різноманітну джерельну базу. Коротко окресливши дослідницьке поле цієї загальної проблеми, авторка більш докладно зупиняється на розвідках, присвячених історії побуту дитини шкільного віку, починаючи з тих, що сягають кінця ХІХ ст. і до нашого часу. До цих джерел віднесено етнографічні праці, дослідження істориків, твори художньої літератури для дітей, у яких розглянуто такі аспекти дитячого побуту як життєвий/домашній простір, ігри, розваги та дозвілля, харчування та гігієна, праця, включаючи і специфічно радянський феномен побуту школярів в інтернатних/закритих закладах.

У статті розглянуто аспекти дитячого побуту, розкриті в педагогічних творах – від зосередження педології на цих питаннях до повного їх зникнення в повоєнні роки. Особлива увага приділена педагогічній спадщині В. Сухомлинського, де найбільш повно відображено побут вихованців та напрями його педагогізації, які не втратили своєї актуальності й донині.

A Revista da CGU abre seu dossiê comemorativo dos 10 anos da LAI no Brasil com a apresentação da entrevista de Joara Marchezini, Mestre em Ação Internacional Humanitária pela Universidade de Deusto, Espanha, e Coordenadora de Projetos no Instituto Nupef. Joara foi oficial de projetos da área de Acesso à Informação da organização não-governamental Artigo 19 por 7 anos e participou ativamente das negociações do Acordo de Escazú. O tema se alinha a questões centrais na atualidade das diferentes sociedades relacionadas à proteção do meio ambiente e à promoção de direitos humanos, incluindo tanto o direito à informação quanto à participação social e ao acesso à justiça. Aborda ainda a interdependência entre direitos e a necessidades de coordenação entre as políticas públicas. De um lado, o tema está ligado ao pressuposto de que a proteção ao meio ambiente e o desenvolvimento sustentável dependem das políticas de acesso à informação, e, de outro, que estas políticas só encontram sua razão quando propiciam o acesso à informação relacionado a alguma dimensão de importância, como no caso das informações ambientais.
Internet blackouts in Africa
Authors: Endong Floribert Patrick C.
Published: June 2022

Internet blackouts in Africa have largely been examined through the prisms of human rights and economic development. This has resulted in highly negative assessments; Internet shutdowns have widely been branded as violations of the rights of African citizens, and the bane of economic development. However, while unarguably extreme, Internet blackouts are not necessarily unjustified or unwarranted. Even influential bodies such as the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) recognise the need to shut down the Internet under certain circumstances. Governments often justify Internet shutdowns by citing principles or values that are valid in principle. These include protecting their sovereignty, combating ‘rascality’ among telecom operators, and maintaining peace and security. Given this, it is important to examine the extent to which Internet shutdowns in Africa have been justified, or whether they have been used to advance authoritarian rule. To this end, this study uses documentary analysis and critical observations to explore the morality of Internet blackouts in sub-Saharan Africa, and specifically whether or not the recent shutdowns in Cameroon and Nigeria have been justified.

Nowadays, processed natural rubber products such as crumb rubber have become the demands of global consumers who are oriented towards export markets. Therefore, the economic impact is felt more, but there are still other consequences. The consequences are not only economically beneficial but can also be detrimental to environmental conditions. The process of making natural rubber into crumb rubber causes a negative impact by means of air pollution in the form of odour, which is rarely noticed. The purposes of this study were to analyse the ammonia concentration resulting from the processing of natural rubber into crumb rubber, and to identify the impact of ammonia contamination on the environment, particularly human health. This research was conducted using a review method with the help of colandr machine learning. The results of the review show that the concentration of ammonia produced from the processing of natural rubber into crumb rubber in Indonesia has passed the specified quality standard threshold. It is found to impact the environment such as damage to aquatic ecosystems and air quality, as well as effects on human health such as respiratory problems.

Published: June 2022

Melitourism, a special entomotourism featuring stingless bees as an agritourism attraction, remains less popular and underrated in Southeast Asian countries despite its economic benefits. This study assessed the melitourism potential of Bali, Indonesia, and Bicol, Philippines, through a qualitative approach using various indicators such as financial capital, market, social capital, environment, technology, policy, human capital, culture, and farm tourism as foundations for a melitourism social enterprise. Identification of these indicators was based on a literature review, and these became the basis of an interview guide designed for stingless bee operators. Findings showed that meliponiculture in Bali and Bicol offers a lot of promise as a social enterprise and tourism development. The stingless beekeeping industry dominated the aspects of environmental, technological, market, and social capital. Farmer groups provide a support system resulting in strong social capital. Compared to Bali, Bicol is quite advanced in agritourism integration in stingless bee farms. Melitourism is a good means of engaging the public to contribute towards a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem for stingless beekeeping. Incorporating the tourism aspect in meliponiculture is a good economic diversification strategy that would enhance farm productivity and encourage farmers to engage in ethical practices that help maintain a healthy stingless bee population both on farms and in the wild. However, to hasten farmer engagement and melitourism development, local and national governments must strengthen their policy infrastructure and support this industry.

A Párizsi Megállapodás célkitűzéseinek eléréséhez kiemelt fontosságú ezáltal a közlekedési ágazat dekarbonizációja. Egy lehetséges megoldás az üvegházhatású gázok kibocsátásának csökkentésére az alternatív hajtású nehézgépjárművek és a hozzájuk tartozó üzemanyagtöltő állomások infrastruktúrájának kiépítése. Jelen tanulmány a hidrogénüzemű nehézgépjárművekhez kapcsolódó hidrogéntöltő állomások potenciális helymeghatározását és elterjedését vizsgálja, több tényező adatainak összevetésével. A helyelemzés során különböző forgatókönyvek javasoltak a hidrogéntöltő állomások megjelenéseinek szempontjából. Az eltérő prioritású hidrogén-töltő állomások főként a Transz-Európai Közlekedési Hálózat magyar-országi autópályaszakaszai mentén található pihenőhelyek helyén lettek kijelölve, valamint a települési önkormányzatok hidrogénkutatás-fejlesztési projektjeinek és terveinek ismeretében telephelyek területén. Az optimális hidrogéntöltő hálózat kijelölése és modellezése ezáltal összetett feladat, mégis értékes információkkal szolgál a telepítések előtti helymeghatározásokhoz, illetve további kutatásokhoz.

CAE studies of river ice cover aerodynamics
Authors: Lobanov Vasily A.
Published: June 2022

The paper provides an overview of autumn-winter movements and ice breaking on river shipping routes. The range of tasks of ensuring the safety of ice navigation is highlighted, which requires the predict of wind loads on hummocky ice fields of small floe fractions. As a complex argument for the characterization of such a field, the coefficient of its windage is proposed. The statistical function of the distribution of the height of the hummocks is revealed.

To speed up the process of three-dimensional description of the geometry of the ice surface with a given law of the distribution of hummocks, the joint use of CAD and CAE systems is proposed. A series of CAE «purges» of model ice fields was carried out. The dependence of aerodynamic loads on the direction of atmospheric flow has been confirmed by the analysis of the results of CAE-modeling of wind impact on small floe ices. The conclusion is made about the limitations of the application of the classical equation of gas dynamics in relation to the studied ice.

Published: June 2022

Pollution occurring with dry cargo ships can be accompanied by serious environmental consequences. At the same time, the object of the analysis was accidents with dry cargo ships carrying technical salt. Their consequences may be associated with the dissolution of salt in a river reservoir, the formation of impurities and their interaction with background pollutants. As a consequence, this can lead to increased corrosion of water intake structures, an increase in possible environmental losses. This work is a continuation of the authors' work related to the spread of pollution from transport accidents on inland waterways, assessment of the environmental risk of such accidents. All this suggests the need to model the processes of the spread of pollutants in predicting the consequences of such accidents. In this work, a site was selected in the area of 911 -913 km of the Volga River. Modeling was carried out using the FlowVision software package. The article shows the stages of the simulation of the pollution propagation process taking into account the speed of the river flow, the diameter of the pollution particles and chemical reactions occurring when the cargo enters the water. The areas of concentration of pollution deposits have been identified, which will allow in the future to propose an optimal scheme of the site for improving its ecology, as well as to clarify the methodology of predicted environmental damage

Polycystic ovary syndrome (POCS) is the most common endocrine disorder and affects women in each stage of their life, lowering the quality of life and lifespan. After they overcome infertility and succeed to conceive, they will not be exposed just at severe obstetrical outcomes such as miscarriage, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, but at poor neonatal outcome as well such as increased perinatal mortality, congenital anomalies, extended stays in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), low Apgar score, macrosomia, and growth restriction. Also, the children born from mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome, during childhood and adolescence will have a decreased quality of life, being forced to experience multiple episodes of hospitalization, metabolic disorders, and asthma. The purpose of this article is to make a literature review, in order to obtain a clearer picture over the impact of the POCS on fertility, pregnancy, and neonate. The analysis was limited to articles written in English and published between October 2014 and August 2021 on PubMed, NCBI and medical journals. In conclusion this article aims to present the importance of an apparent inoffensive endocrine disorder, which generates high risk pregnancies, with poor obstetrical and neonatal outcome.

Premature birth is a public health problem worldwide. Due to the lack of cardiotocography (CTG) guidelines in preterm infants according to different gestational ages, we analyzed literature and synthesized the physiological and pathological characteristics of the CTG route of different gestational age preterm infants. The purpose of this analysis is to summarize the most relevant information regarding CTG monitoring in pregnancies with preterm infants and to provide CTG follow-up criteria for the daily practice of these conditions. In conclusion, the baseline of the fetal heart rate it is slightly increased in premature fetuses and decreases with increasing gestational age. During the second trimester of pregnancy, low-amplitude transitory decelerations occur more frequently and with a much lower frequency by the end of the third trimester. Cycling of variability is reduced due to incomplete development of the parasympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system in premature fetuses.

Uterine leiomyoma is described in the literature as one of the most common benign tumors that is encountered and which cause relevant public health problems; it affects the fertile capacity especially on women that are in their thirties or younger, which makes it even more difficult to obtain an optimal treatment idea that transform into a physiologic pregnancy, naturally achieved or by ART. In order to understand this, we have decided to conduct this review with the purpose to bring up to date an insufficiently discussed matter, namely reducing the incidence in women diagnosed with uterine leiomyoma that associates loss of fertility, through a modern management of diagnostic resources, especially ultrasound, and treatment as well. Our main goal was to analyze the published articles from the PubMed database between 2015-2021, using keywords such as leiomyoma, female infertility, pregnancy, miomectomy, for relevant information and studies that include the easiest methods of diagnosis of leiomyoma and treatment, but also to cover the psychosocial impact related to those women who try to conceive. Patients in whom uterine leiomyoma are the main cause of infertility visit the clinic, for the first time maybe, with a history of habitual abortions for at least 2 years. The uncertainty of the evolution of the tumor and the pathological gynecological spectrum of some women tend to develop challenges for doctors in terms of what treatment is required and what is the reproductive prognosis. The doctor-patient relationship in these difficult cases is perhaps more important than ever, the advice and recommendations that the medical practitioners offers still follow the same treatment notion.
