Published: July 2023

Background: This study was designed for the estimation of escitalopram oxalte and atazanavir sulphate in the experimental tablet formulation. The separation was performed at 210 nm by using Inertsil ODS 3V (250 * 4.6 mm, 5.0 m) column and acetonitrile/phosphate buffer (pH =3.55) as the eluent under isocratic elution conditions at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.
Results: Escitalopram oxalate and atazanavir sulphate peaks were eluted at 2.636 and 3.319 minutes and no interference was observed in the diluent blank at the respective retention times, indicating that the developed method was specific and selective. A linear relationship was found for escitalopram oxalte (2.5 - 15 µg mL-1) and atazanavir sulphate (30 - 150.0 µg mL-1), with coefficient of regression greater than 0.999. Based on the RSD values (< 2.0%) and recovery results (> 98%), the developed method is accurate. At room temperature and in the refrigerated conditions, standard and sample solutions of escitalopram oxalate and atazanavir sulphate have been found to be stable for 48 hours.
Conclusion: The established method is linear, precise, accurate, specific, and robust in the studied concentration range. Accordingly, the proposed method can be applied to the analysis of experimental tablet formulations as well as bulk drug samples.

Ethnopolitics and migration policy: to the question of interconnection and mutual influence
Authors:   National Institute for Strategic Studies, Malynovska Olena
Published: July 2023

The article examines the question of the feasibility of expanding the object of ethnopolitics at the expense of ethnic groups, formed as a result of migration, as well as the need to take into account the ethnic characteristics of migrants while regulating migration processes on the background of the current migration situation in Ukraine and the prospects for its further development. On the basis of the analysis of the theoretical works of Ukrainian and foreign authors, political and international legal documents, legislation of Ukraine, it was concluded that in the interests of social unity is the recognition of diversity as a value and resource of development, the spread of ethnopolitics measures to „new” migrant minorities, the provision them guarantees against violation of rights, marginalization, forced assimilation. Unfavorable demographic situation, massive forced migration of Ukrainians abroad because of the war, as well as irreversible military losses of the population can lead to a shortage of labor force necessary for the post-war reconstruction of the country. If own labor and intellectual potential will be insufficient, Ukraine may need additional labor force from abroad for post-war recovery. Although Ukraine is currently unattractive to immigrants, their number compared to other countries is small, due to the war it has decreased, potential economic development and the need for additional labor force, closer ties with the EU may increase immigration, which will lead to the growth of ethnic, linguistic, cultural diversity The complexity of the ethno-cultural structure of society can have a positive character, contribute to the mutual enrichment of cultures and the common good, but it can also lead to negative consequences – a conflict of values, cultural norms, a breach of social unity. Under such conditions, the requirements for the migration policy of the state, as well as for its ethnopolitics, will naturally grow. This actualizes the intensification of the state's activities on the integration of newcomers into Ukrainian society, the formation of a tolerant attitude of the indigenous population towards migrants and migration, the prevention of all forms of discrimination, the prevention of racism and xenophobia, the deepening of intercultural dialogue, the awareness that unconditional protection of the rights of national minorities in the civilized world is impossible without ensuring a general climate of tolerance towards "others", which also applies to migrants.
Institute of the President of Ukraine: dynamics of spheres of competence
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kondratenko Oleh
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the process of formation and the role of the president’s institution in the structure of the executive power of Ukraine. The activity of the Institute of the President of Ukraine, as well as the specifics of its functioning in the conditions of a hybrid and full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, were studied. It has been proven that in the course of the establishment of the presidential institution, a number of problems arose regarding the limits of presidential powers, as well as the spheres of responsibility of the head of state. The adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine in 1996 ensured the establishment of presidentialism in Ukraine – the personified power of the president. The institution of a strong president provoked a permanent conflict both in the structure of the executive power along the „president-prime minister” line, and between the president and the parliament. After the Orange Revolution of 2004, the presidential-parliamentary republic was transformed into a parliamentary-presidential one. However, the strengthening of the role of the prime minister and the parliament did not become the reason for the impossibility of conflict between the branches of the Ukrainian government, which became the trigger for the restoration of authoritarian tendencies with the coming to power of V. Yanukovych and the return to the so-called presidentialist model of executive power. As a result, this led to the uncontrolled growth of the influence of a narrow group of representatives of pro-presidential financial and industrial groups and became the cause of a social explosion in 2014 – known as the Revolution of Dignity. The return of the parliamentary-presidential model of the Constitution optimized the powers of the president, balancing his influence with strengthening the role of the parliament. However, the provision of constitutional reform regarding the optimization and balancing of presidential powers was made impossible both by the lobbying of the personal interests of the president and his entourage, and by the start of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022.

El artículo se basa en la investigación "Representaciones y simbolismos en poblaciones no binarias" en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia. El objetivo de este texto es profundizar en conceptos alrededor de género, identificando un escenario donde emerge el lenguaje oral, escrito, la imagen y la percepción. Se busca dilucidar aquellas intencionalidades comunicativas desde la gráfica en el espacio público que dan significado a la diversidad desde lo político, pero que también develan simbolismos que irrumpen estéticamente en la calle para repensar discursos de respeto y tolerancia. Metodológicamente, se plantean diferentes tipos de enfoques en relación a las acciones, cuerpos y espacios, a través de tres campos teóricos y de análisis interdisciplinarios. El análisis ético-político se centra en el género como base de discusión. El análisis estético identifica el espacio público como un lugar de encuentro creativo del que crea y del que observa, pero también, el territorio de agitación y rebeldía. Finalmente, el análisis poético se basa en la significación de las creaciones artísticas en la ciudad. Además, se mencionan resultados preliminares donde se incluye la aproximación al desarrollo de herramientas de análisis propias. Como parte de los resultados, se identifica un espacio vivo para la construcción de nuevas narrativas, así como escenarios de igualdad, donde la performancia, la simbología, las expresiones artísticas y la oralidad -desde el debate del lenguaje inclusivo-, muestran un territorio de multiplicidad y movilización que trascenderá las esferas privadas al espacio público con nuevas formas de representación en esa búsqueda de entendernos y reconocernos.

Published: July 2023

Nowadays, many literature sources exist, containing the applicability criteria for enhanced oil recovery methods (hereinafter - EOR). The criteria were developed by the world experts, specialized oil and gas companies, determined in the laboratory and confirmed by field experience. In a number of cases, the authors compile databases with the fields, where different EOR technologies were used, evaluate their effectiveness, the complexity of the application, and the peculiarities of the implementation of the EOR technologies for certain geological and physical conditions of the fields. Based on the results of such analytical work, it is possible to determine the optimal ranges for the application of certain EOR technologies, and recommend their use in screening in order to further evaluate potentially suitable technologies under the laboratory and field conditions.

This paper presents the uniform criteria for the applicability of the key technologies of chemical, thermal, gas and microbiological EOR. To unify these criteria, an extensive literature review, a retrospective analysis of the previously tested EOR technologies, an analysis of the geological, physical and technological conditions for the use of the EOR technologies have been carried out. In order to compare the geological and physical parameters of the reservoirs and the technological parameters of the fields with certain unified applicability criteria, a screening tool has been developed, which takes into account all the necessary criteria for identifying the priority EOR technologies.

Construction Projects’ Waste Prevention and Expected Minimization of Cost and Environmental Impacts through Adopting a Comprehensive System for Document Management
Authors: Arsenos Panayiotis , Giannadakis George
Published: July 2023

Waste originating from construction projects is the major source of pollution amongst all industrial sectors in the European Union (EU) as well as globally. It is estimated that more than 35% of all disposed waste in the EU has been a by-product of building activity. This significant loss of materials hinders project profitability, reduces competitiveness of companies involved in such projects and causes considerable environmental burden. An acceptable level of waste is inevitable; however, there are possibilities to minimize the waste through amendments of reducing problematic executive procedures. One of the most important reported factors that increase waste is ineffective document management that may lead to inadequate communication throughout the construction project. As such, the present paper focuses on estimating the possible environmental and economic benefits if a proper document management system is applied on construction projects. The research steps include the approximate calculation of the operational project cost, the volume of material waste related to inadequate information systems based on statistical data and the calculation of benefits from the establishment of adequate information systems using measurable indices. The findings suggest that significant waste reductions are feasible and that the volume of solid construction debris that usually ends up in landfills can be greatly reduced. The actual debris in every skip bin could be reduced to approximately two-thirds of the currently produced volume, for every 100 square meters (m2) of an industrial building floor area. Besides, the debris volume in a skip bin could be reduced to more than half of the currently produced volume for every 100 m2 of public and commercial retail building floor area.
The Ignored Psychiatric Aspect of Chloroquine in the COVID-19 Outbreak Period: A Narrative Review Study
Authors: Kamali Mahsa , Azizi Marzieh , Elyasi Forouzan
Published: July 2023

Context: Several studies have shown that chloroquine can effectively diminish the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As such, other studies have also supported this statement, but the psychiatric side effects of chloroquine have not been taken into account. Objectives: The current study aimed to briefly review and discuss the safety of chloroquine. Evidence Acquisition: A narrative literature search on databases was carried out on studies without time limitations. A combination of the two main keywords of “Chloroquine” and “Psychiatric Side Effects” was used to search databases. A manual search was performed to find the relevant articles, and finally, 15 studies were reviewed. Data were shown in the table and then summarized by narrative synthesis. Results: The literature review revealed the pharmaceutical characteristics of chloroquine, the safety of chloroquine, and the management of chloroquine's side effects. Also, the studies showed that chloroquine had psychiatric symptoms varying from insomnia to catatonia, toxic psychosis, and suicidal attempts, as well as behavioral manifestations, including most frequently extreme irritability, restlessness, abusiveness, distractibility, pressured speech, flight of ideas, grandiosity delusion, and auditory and visual hallucinations. Conclusions: Given the probability of a wide range of possible psychiatric symptoms following chloroquine, physicians should cautiously prescribe antiviral agents, and healthcare workers should also notice any psychiatric symptoms after administrating the chloroquine.

Background: In recent years, particular emphasis has been placed on the role of mental imagery in psychopathologies. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Spontaneous Use of Imagery Scale (SUIS-P) in the general Iranian population. Methods: The current psychometric study was carried out on 474 Iranian individuals in 2020 through convenience sampling. The SUIS, Ambiguous Scenarios Test relevant to Depressed Mood (AST-D), and Beck Depression Inventory-second edition (BDI-II) were filled out by the study subjects. Moreover, for the determination of divergent validity between the SUIS and BDI-II, the Pearson correlation was also used. Data analysis was performed by SPSS Software (version 24). Results: The internal consistency of the total score of the SUIS was acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.75). The significant positive relationship between the SUIS and AST-D (r = 0.34; P < 0.01) showed good convergent validity. No significant correlation was observed between the SUIS and BDI-II. Factor analysis using the principal component analysis with a varimax rotation introduced four factors. The four factors explained 0.55 of the total variance. Regarding construct validity, the inter-item correlation and item-total correlations of the SUIS-P were in an acceptable range. Conclusions: Based on the results, the SUIS has excellent psychometric properties in the Iranian population and can be used in research and therapeutic interventions.

: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small particles ranging from 30 - 1000 nm released by different cells to mediate cell-cell communication. The content of these particles mirrors the cellular properties of their producing cells. The extracellular vesicles, including exosomes and microvesicles, could exert the same therapeutic effects as stem cell therapy. However, these stem cell-derived particles (cell-free derivatives) do not have concerns associated with stem cell-based therapies. Among various mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, Menstrual Blood Stem Cells (MenSCs) are known for their high proliferative activity, ease of harvesting, lack of moral dilemma, and high differentiation potential. Extracellular vesicles derived from MenSCs have widely been employed in various preclinical studies for regenerative purposes. This paper aims to provide an overview of the therapeutic utility of MenSCs-derived EVs in regenerative medicine. We also reviewed the current knowledge on the cellular profile, biogenesis, separation, and action mechanism of MenSCs-derived EVs in organ regeneration.

Background: Endourologic or percutaneous interventional treatments in genitourinary (GU) is a growing field of science with the advent of improved imaging techniques and smaller catheters. Hereby, we report case series of endovascular GU angioembolization procedures performed in our center. Methods: In this study, we report cases who underwent successful angioembolization. A total of 76 cases of bladder transitionary cell carcinoma cells, 8 cases of bladder and renal arteriovenous malformation (AVMs), 33 cases with hematuria after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), 29 cases of renal angio-myolipoma, 3 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) cases high risk for surgery and 5 cases of hematuria in the setting of acute renal trauma had undergone GU endovascular treatment. Results: The success rate for angioembolization of bladder transitionary carcinoma cell was 100% but in 2 cases hematuria continued due to another GU source. Coil embolization of bladder and renal AVMs and renal angio-myolipoma were successful in all cases. Cessation of hematuria after PCNL was successful in all cases except one. Coli embolization of BPH and hematuria due to renal trauma were ceased in all cases. Complications included easily controllable hematoma in 3 cases. Contrast induced nephropathy and fever occurred in 12% and 20%, respectively. Pain duration was within 4 - 10 days after embolization of AVM or tumor. Embolization could be done in high output priapism and varicocel but we did not perform these procedures because of no referral. Conclusions: Coil embolization of GU system is quite safe and approved method and could be used with high success rate and low failure rate.

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common condition in premature babies, with a prevalence rate of 30 - 60%, and often requires medical or surgical intervention. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of 2 different brands of ibuprofen in PDA closure in preterm infants weighing less than 1500 g. Methods: This single-blind clinical trial study was performed on 75 premature neonates with PDA in the pediatric ward of Vali-Asr Hospital in Birjand from March 2014 to March 2019. Patients were treated with two brands of ibuprofen at doses of 10 mg/kg for the first day and 5 mg/kg for the second and third days (24 and 48 hours afterward). Before and three days after the last dose, the children were examined by pediatric cardiologist echocardiography. The data were input into SPSS version 23 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as mean and SD. Inferential statistics, such as the chi-square test, were also employed with a significance level of P-value < 0.05. Results: There was a significant difference between the rate of PDA closure, 78.8% in the Pedea group vs. 54.8% in the Ibuprofen group (P = 0.03). In the Ibuprofen group, there was no difference in drug efficacy in PDA closure between male and female neonates (P = 0.663). Also, in the Pedea group, there was a significant difference in terms of efficacy between male and female neonates (P = 0.049). No significant difference was observed in PDA closure between the two medications based on their sizes (P = 0.616 in small size, P = 0.266 in medium size, and P = 0.175 in large size). Conclusions: Pedea is more effective than Ibuprofen. It reduces complications and the need for surgery. However, there was no significant relationship between the two drugs based on the PDA sizes. Therefore, it seems logical to use the Iranian brand of ibuprofen, considering the benefits equal to the foreign one.

Published: July 2023

We examine the impact of environmental provisions in regional trade agreements (RTAs) on the environmentally harmful exports. Results show that environmental clauses in RTAs help reduce “dirty” exports, whereas RTA depth promotes exports. The exporting country may divert its polluting exports to its trading partner if it faces more environmental provisions with other countries.

Inovatif Integratif Kebijakan Energi dan Ketahanan Pangan

There are three main global challenges faced in all fields, namely complexity, change and increasing problems. A monodisciplinary approach with a single technology approach is no longer relevant to face these conditions. Innovation, integration and sustainability are the keys to face these three challenges, especially towards zero carbon emission energy that is operational. To produce bioethanol as a zero carbon emission energy source, the problem is that a large amount of thermal energy is required and a lot of "waste" is produced in the production process. It also requires the right raw materials that do not compete with food. All of these problems with conventional approaches have not been able to produce production costs (HPP) that compete with other renewable energy sources, let alone with fossil energy. The proposed innovation is an integrative innovation that will produce bioethanol as energy that is not only zero emission but negative emission with low HHP. This can be achieved through integrative synergy of biochar production with appropriate technology researched so far that produces large surplus energy and sorghum farming as raw material. The biochar product produced as a co-product is a multi-functional product of high economic value. If part of the biochar is utilized in agriculture, it not only increases the yield of therapeutic agriculture as a stable carbon sequestration in the soil. Sweet sorghum is an agricultural crop that has high adaptation to natural conditions with high seed and biomass production. Sorghum is ideal as a feedstock for ethanol and food production. Integrating the three with the right innovation will produce bioethanol with negative carbon emissions and co-products with low COGS. Sorghum juice is used as a first generation feedstock (FGR) and its bagasse as a second generation source (SGR). This integration involves the utilization of juice extraction by expeller technique and pretreatment of a combination of mechanical, steam explosion and organosolv methods that do not produce hazardous waste. The entire process is designed with the concept of maximum closed loop and minimum input. The system is open for various other integrations and developments in the future to support the concept of green economy.
