Age-related variability in the stellate sturgeon domestication in industrial conditions
Authors: Shishanov Grigory Andreyevich
Published: April 2021

Morphometric studies are fundamental in the domestication of new fish species. Despite the obvious dependence of the morphological parameters of fish on habitat conditions, they are currently used as the main criteria for the approval of breeding achievements, and a measure of the processes of domestication and selection. In this regard, we have begun work to study the variability of morphological characters in the process of domestication of stellate sturgeon (Asipenser stellatus, Pall) in a closed water supply. Researched sturgeon of Volga origin grown from caviar in artificial conditions in a closed water supply installation. At the first stage, 25 morphological parameters of stellate sturgeon underyearlings were studied. At the second stage, six years later, morphological studies were repeated in the same group of fish. Comparison of the average values of the indicators indicates the following trends in their change with the age of the fish: the relative length and height of the head, the rostrum (rr), and the diameter of the eye, the width of the mouth and the width of the break of the lower lip decrease; the indicators of the distance between the fins relative to the end of the snout and between themselves increase, the smallest and largest body height. At the same time, the most significant significant differences between underyearlings and six-year-olds were found in body height and head length. Similar changes are observed with age in most fish, including sturgeon. They are associated with the development of swimming muscles, physiological changes and demonstrate the expected biological age-related changes. The presented data on age-related changes in morphological parameters show the erroneousness of using sturgeon underyearlings as a control group for assessing uniformity and stability for distinctness.

Published: April 2021

The article considers the specifics of the activities of international non-governmental organizations to ensure the gender equality principle. Attention is drawn to the practice of activities of such international non-governmental organizations as: «Gender and Development Network» (GADN), Equality Now, Promundo, which directly fulfill the mission of advocating for women's interests, guaranteeing their equal opportunities with men in all spheres of public life. Women's international non-governmental organizations are best known for two different but often interrelated activities: firstly, it is the provision of services for women in need, and secondly, it is the organization of informational outreach activities and public campaigns to implement the social transformations needed to achieve gender equality. INGOs are important partners of national governments in ensuring gender equality; act as experts, diplomats, advocates for specific issues or groups, protesters and activists; they are involved, for example, in the development of international rules, standards and regulations; use their experience and special authority to inform societies and national governments on particular issues and raise people's awareness about specific problems; promote new ideas and encourage governments to implement them; can act as representatives of national governments in times of crisis; awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for «spreading authoritative information and raising public awareness». Ukraine's positioning in the leading international rankings, which consider gender equality as an integral component, the basis of a democratic society, is examined. It is about such reports as the Human Development Index, the Freedom House Report, the Global Gender Gap Report. It is concluded that, according to the 2020 Global Gender Gap Report, in Ukraine a positive dynamics is observed compared to a similar report for 2014, however, the worst is the situation with the political component (women's participation in decision-making) – 83th place with a value that is almost approaching zero, that is, continuous gender inequality.
United States-Vietnam relations in light of geopolitics of the usa in Asia-Pacific region in 1945-1975
Authors:   Eastern European University of Economics and Management, Desiatnikov Ivan
Published: April 2021

The article focuses on the analysis of US-Vietnam relations during the period from 1945 to 1975. The aim of the article is to trace the changes that took place in the US-Vietnam relationship over that period, to identify the factors that influenced them, as well as the approaches used by the heads of the countries to tackle their foreign policy objectives in the region. The author traces the evolution of US policy in Vietnam pursued by Presidents H. Truman, D. Eisenhower, J. Kennedy, L. Johnson and R. Nixon. The United States had diametrically opposed position on relations with the Vietnamese governments, namely, confrontation and military conflict with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and cooperation, military and economic aid to the Republic of Vietnam. The author concludes that the US attitude towards Vietnam was determined by the international situation at that time, including the beginning of the Cold War. The policies of Presidents D. Eisenhower and J. Kennedy were to restrain the expansion of the Communist bloc's sphere of influence. The direct involvement of the US military in the Vietnam conflict, initiated by L. Johnson, pursued the goal of enhancing the prestige of the United States in the global confrontation with the USSR. The split between the Soviet Union and China was used by the US to get out of the Vietnam War and mend relations with China as a counterweight to the Soviet Union in the Asia-Pacific region. Instead, the Republic of Vietnam, which had been the "junior partner" of the United States, was left to its fate.

Published: April 2021

The Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) provides surface meteorological and glaciological measurements from widespread on-ice automatic weather stations since mid-2007. In this study, we use 105 PROMICE ice-ablation time series to identify the timing of seasonal bare-ice onset preceded by snow cover conditions. From this collection, we find a bare-ice albedo at ice-ablation onset (here called bare-ice-onset albedo) of 0.565 ± 0.109 that has no apparent spatial dependence among 20 sites across Greenland. We then apply this snow-to-ice albedo transition value to measure the variations in daily Greenland bare-ice area in Sentinel-3 optical satellite imagery covering the extremely low and high respective melt years of 2018 and 2019. Daily Greenland bare-ice area peaked at 153 489 km² in 2019, 1.9 times larger than in 2018 (80 220 km²), equating to 9.0% (in 2019) and 4.7% (in 2018) of the ice sheet area.

Published: April 2021

In mathematical models, parameters are one of the most important input factors that affect the model outputs. In this work, the effects of parameters in complementing their interaction effects on nanofluids' output variables in converging and diverging channels have been studied. The mathematical model is solved numerically by using Matlab's built-in solver bvp4c. Global sensitivity analysis (Sobol's method) quantifies the effects of input parameters and their interactions on model outputs. The results showed that the channel opening (α) is the most influential model parameter for the velocity profile. Simultaneously, Eckert number (Ec) becomes the most influential parameter for temperature distribution in diverging and converging channels. The least sensitive parameters and interaction effects of involved parameters are identified on velocity and temperature profiles in converging and diverging channels.

Published: April 2021

Background: Tennis elbow or Lateral epicondylitis is now a days a well known condition with mixed etiopathogenesis
of inammation and microtear resulting in decreased hand grip strength. Among the various treatment options,
therapeutic ultrasound and local steroid injection are commonly used in managing these patients, but comparative effectiveness of these two
treatment procedures are often debated. To compare the efcacy of local cortic Aim of Study: osteroid injection versus therapeutic ultrasound in
terms of improvement in painfree grip strength(PFGS) of affected upper limb. This i Method: nterventional study was conducted on 56 patients
of both sexes within the age group of 18-60 years with unilateral Tennis elbow. They were randomly divided in two groups of same number(28 in
each group)- Group-1: managed with local injection of steroid (methylprednisolone-10mg, single dose) with 2% of 0.5 ml lignocaine and
Group-2 : managed with Therapeutic Ultrasound. Improvement of PFGS was assessed by hand held Dynamometer. Data collected at 0 week
(Visit-1 or Pre-initiation), 3weeks (Visit-2 ), 6 weeks (Visit-3), 12 weeks (Visit-4). For PFGS score, in both Group-1 and Group-2, there Result:
was signicant increase in subsequent visits (p<0.05). The mean PFGS score of Group-1 was signicantly higher than that of Group-2 in visit2(p<0.01), but in visit-3(p>0.05) & visit-4(p>0.05) there was no statistically signicant difference noted. Local Steroid injection & Conclusion:
therapeutic ultrasound both are effective in improving PFGS. Though Local steroid injection is more effective in initial period, but in subsequent
followups, the difference was statistically insignicant.

We here describe 50-year old man presented with sudden onset of left side chest pain associated with diaphoresis and
dyspnoea of two days duration. With the impression of inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI) electrocardiogram
was consistent and Conventional angiograph showed to have high take off right coronary artery from ascending aorta and proximal to mid-99%
stenosis. The focus on this report was the challenge to hook and stent high take off right coronary artery origin. So doing interventions in the
catheterization laboratory we should be able to do different techniques like hanging type of coronary angiography with different balloons and
catheters to overcome this challenge. Patient life was saved and nally discharged with stable condition
COMPARISON OF FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF MODIFIED TBW VERSUS MODIFIED TBW AUGMENTED WITH CIRCUMFERENTIAL CERCLAGE WIRING IN TRANSVERSE FRACTURE OF PATELLA
Authors: Sinha Satendra Kumar , Hazowary Angwsa
Published: April 2021

Background: The most common fracture of patella is transverse fracture of body. The gold standard treatment for
displaced fracture is by tension band wiring (TBW) technique, augmentation with circumferential cerclage ss wiring has
been suggested to improve the strength of the xation.
Methods: The study was conducted at Nalanda Medical College, Patna during the period 2018-2020, by treating 28 patients. Group 1 (n=15)
treated with modied tension band wiring (TBW) alone while as Group 2 (n=13) treated by modied TBW along with augmented
circumferential cerclage ss wiring. Outcome was studied, graded and compared using the Modied Bostman Scale, union rates, and
complication rates.
Results: The results at nal follow up in group 1 were excellent in 10( 66.67%), good in 4(27.67%) and unsatisfactory in 1(6.67%). In group 2 the
results were excellent in 8(61.54%), good in 5(38.46%) and no unsatisfactory results. Both groups have similar outcomes based on the scoring
system used. The results were tested using t test and found to be different but not statistically signicant( p value- 0.469). In group one, 1(6.67%)
developed deep infection and 1(6.67%) developed supercial infection. In group 2 2(15.38%) developed supercial infection, however these
results are not statistically signicant (p value-0.432). Hardware irritation was seen in 3(20%) of group 1 and 3(23.07%) of group 2(p value>.05).
2(13.33%) of group 1 had implant removal during the course of follow up where as 2(15.38) in group 2 had hardware removal done.
Conclusions: Modied tensioned band wiring for displaced transverse fracture of patella is an inexpensive and excellent method of treatment
and the use of circumferential cerclage ss wiring along with tension band wiring for displaced transverse fractures of patella seems to have no
added advantage over xation with tension band wiring alone.

Stochastic Non-Pharmaceutical Optimal Control Strategies to Mitigate COVID-19

Published: April 2021

This paper proposes a stochastic non-linear model predictive controller
to support policy-makers in determining robust optimal strategies to
tackle the COVID-19 secondary waves. First, a time-varying SIRCQTHE epidemiological
model (considering Susceptible, Infected, Removed, Contagious,
Quarantined, Threatened, Healed, and Extinct compartments of
individuals) is defined to get reliable predictions on the pandemic
dynamics on a regional basis. A stochastic Model Predictive Control
problem is then formulated to select the necessary control actions to
minimize the arising socio-economic costs.
In particular,
considering the unavoidable uncertainty characterizing this
decision-making process, we ensure that the capacity of the network of
regional healthcare systems is not violated in accordance with a chance
constraint approach.
Furthermore, since the infection rate depends on
people’s mobility, differently from the related literature, we model
the control actions as interventions affecting the mobility levels
associated to different socio-economic categories.

The effectiveness
of the presented method in properly supporting the definition of
diversified regional strategies for tackling the COVID-19 spread is
tested on the network of Italian regions using real data from the
Italian Civil Protection Department. However, provided the availability
of reliable data, the proposed approach can be easily extended to cope
with other countries' characteristics and different levels of the
spatial scale.

Real-time video image processing based on optical Kerr microcombs
Authors: Moss David
Published: April 2021

Advanced image processing will be crucial
for emerging technologies such as autonomous driving, where the requirement to quickly
recognize and classify objects under rapidly changing, poor visibility
environments in real time will be needed. Photonic technologies will be key
for next-generation signal and information processing, due to their wide
bandwidths of 10’s of Terahertz and
versatility. Here, we demonstrate broadband real time analog image and video
processing with an ultrahigh bandwidth photonic processor that is highly
versatile and reconfigurable. It is capable of massively parallel processing
over 10,000 video signals simultaneously in real time, performing key functions
needed for object recognition, such as edge enhancement and detection. Our
system, based on a soliton crystal Kerr optical micro-comb with a 49GHz spacing
with >90 wavelengths in the C-band, is highly versatile, performing
different functions without changing the physical hardware. These results highlight
the potential for photonic processing based on Kerr microcombs for chip-scale
fully programmable high-speed real time video processing for next generation
technologies.
Child Sexual Abuse Inquiries and the Catholic Church: Reassessing the Evidence
Authors: Miller Virginia
Published: April 2021

This book is an objective, evidence-based analysis of the empirical findings, methodologies and conclusions of the three main national inquiries (Irish, US, Australian) into child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and of the responses of the Catholic Church to child sexual abuse. As such, it stands in contrast to the overall media reporting of the problem. Based on the evidence of these inquiries it draws two major conclusions. Firstly, child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in the countries surveyed, while widespread during the 60s and 70s, is largely an historical problem. Secondly, safe-guarding mechanisms introduced into the Catholic Church since the 90s have been effective in curbing child sexual abuse.

Published: April 2021

A number of researchers note the fact that today, in more than 5.7% of the teeth in patients over 40-45 years old with apical periodontal lesions, during a comprehensive examination, lesions of the marginal periodontium are also diagnosed.Materials and methods. The success of endodontic treatment of such teeth with the use of traditionally used polymer sealers is extremely low. Pathology develops due to a mixed apical-periodontal microflora. The use of bioceramic sealers has been reported to significantly improve the prognosis for endodontic intervention. Bioceramics inherently is the most biocompatible material and consists of aluminum oxide, zirconium dioxide, bioactive glass, glass ceramics, composite components and coatings, hydroxyapatite and resorbable calcium phosphates.Results. This article presents clinical cases of successful endodontic treatment of the main types of combined apical and marginal pathology. 9-11 months after treatment, the diagnosed signs of perio-dontal and periapical pathology are not determined.Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, the optimal method that ensures a successful treat-ment result for this pathology in one visit, often without subsequent surgical manipulations, is an ade-quate endodontic mechanical intervention with subsequent obturation of the root canals with a bioc-eramic sealer, which is confirmed by the literature data.

Relevance. Currently, researchers pay close attention to the study of chronic diseases that have a direct or indirect impact on the state of the patient’s dental status. It is known that chronic inflammatory diseases of the oral organs are, often simultaneously, permanent foci of infection that affect the state of other systems and organs. The general list of such diseases includes: chronic gingivitis, chronic generalized periodontitis, glossitis, gingivostomatitis.Aim. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of complex conservative therapy, including natural therapeutic factors of Crimea, in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the oral organs, occurring against the background of somatic pathology.Materials and methods. The objects of the study were periodontal tissues in 70 people with chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) and gingivostomatitis, occurring against the background of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases.Results. The results obtained indicate that complex treatment with local application of hydrotherapy named “PhytoBiol” and thermal Saka mineral water (in a dilution of 1:4), combined with periodontal dressings according to the recipe proposed by us, cause persistent remission of these diseases, contribute to the improvement of periodontal tissues and oral mucosa. Thus, complex treatment of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues in patients in the main group (n = 35) led to long-term remission in 82.33% of cases, while in the control group the result was 69.5% (at p < 0.05).Conclusions. The positive results, which were obtained, give grounds to recommend the proposed complex of treatment and prevention of exacerbations of this chronic disease for use in practical health care.
