Authors: Trotskovsky A. Ya. , Rodionova L. V. , Nazemtseva Yu. Yu.
Published: April 2024

This article is а publication devoted to presenting the results of a study of trade and the Altai Krai's economic relations of with the regions of Russia in 1990-2022. The authors are the first to attempt to reveal the dynamics

of changes in the commodity markets of the region for more than twenty years, to assess the role and place of the Siberian regions as consumers of Altai products and suppliers of their products to the Altai market. At the same time, the assessment of the role of the Siberian regions was carried out in two ways: both their total role in the import (export) of products in comparison with other Russian federal districts, and each of the Siberian regions, taking into account their specialization.

A special place in the study was occupied by the analysis of the situation in the food market of the region due to its significance for the region.

Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that integration in the commodity markets of the Altai Krai and the Siberian regions as a whole is deeper compared to the other Russian regions. During the period under study, integration further deepened.

The Siberian regions play a significant role both in the consumption of Altai goods, primarily food, and, in particular, in saturating the commodity markets of the region.

The scale and nature of trade and economic relations between the Altai Krai and the Siberian regions are revealed in detail. Characteristic features were variability and inconstancy of the key characteristics of interregional trade and economic relations, coupled with their noticeable inertia, significant differences in trade relations with each of the Siberian regions.

Published: April 2024

The general approach to assessing competitiveness is based on competitive advantages analysis. However, it is not applicable to the military-industrial complex due to specific characteristics of such enterprises.

The authors propose an empirical solution to this problem — the use of а competent approach with the following algorithm:

—    identification of core competencies of the enterprise;

—    compliance of core competencies with the Prahalad and Hamel's three tests;

—    quantitative assessment of the specific parameters from such tests;

—    assessment of significance of the specific parameters, the weights of such parameters.

Gathered information together with the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix allow to calculate а quantitative index of the competitiveness of а particular enterprise.

The index can bе compared with the results in previous periods or can bе set as а target for the future periods. The index is important from the point of view of internal management and for investors when looking for possible investments.

Authors: Shamardina M. V. , Klevtsova E. A.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the study of value guidelines that prevail among project team leaders, as well as their motivational dominance in the context of management activities.

In the process of managing a team, a manager forms his professional «I-concept», which, in turn, serves as the foundation for making career decisions, reflecting the individual's desire for growth, achievements in work and development of himself as a professional.

Of course, it is worth taking into account socialization, during which career orientations and adaptive processes to the environment manifest themselves in the life of a manager as an individual.

The authors, using the test methodology «Career Anchors» by Edgar Schein, analyze the leading career orientations of managers whose activities are carried out in various areas of the economy of the Altai Territory.

Based on the respondents' responses to diagnostic scales of E. Schein's test, the authors compiled a pool of managers’ leading values and drew a parallel with their management style, thereby identifying the degree of influence of the leading categories.

Regarding the motivation of project team leaders, this technique is able to show as a result what exactly motivates the manager when carrying out his activities.

MEMPERTEGAS IDE KESETARAAN GENDER DALAM SISTEM KEWARISAN BILATERAL : Sistem Waris Bilateral Pasca Hazairin
Authors: Aniroh Reni Nur
Published: April 2024

This article examines the development of the idea of bilateral inheritance coined by Hazairin which insists on the existence of men and women heirs. Hazairin argued that the nature of Islamic law of inheritance is bilateral. Hazairin’s concept of bilateral inheritance has been echoed by some Muslim scholars in Indonesia. This article tries to explain the development of bilateral inheritance in Indonesia by elucidating some concepts of Islamic inheritance law proposed by some Muslim scholars in Indonesia. Munawir Sadzali with his Reaktualisasi Ajaran Islam has tried to make the concept down to the earth by formulating quantitative equality between men and women shares. Harahap has come with the idea of one portion as the minimum share and the double as the maximum share of the estate of the heirs. Sarmadi proposed joint property and obligatory will as a tool of controling equality among the heirs. From the perspective of the history of law, the concept of bilateral inheritance has developed in line with the development of Indonesian context. The concept did not only consider the textual meaning of the text and Indonesian context, but also the development of family structure among the society, gender equality, and equality as the main purpose of Islamic inheritance law mentioned in the Qur’anic verses.Artikel ini membahas tentang perkembangan konsep waris bilateral yang digagas oleh Hazairin yang fokus pada keberadaan ahli waris laki-laki dan ahli waris perempuan. Hazairin berpendapat sistem waris bilateral ini menjadi watak dasar hukum waris Islam. Pasca Hazairin, konsep waris bilateral ini telah diusung kembali oleh beberapa sarjana Muslim Indonesia. Tulisan ini menjelaskan tentang perkembangan sistem waris bilateral di Indonesia dengan menelisik beberapa pemikiran hukum waris Islam yang disuarakan oleh beberapa sarjana Muslim Indonesia. Munawir Sadzali dengan ide tentang Reaktualisasi Ajaran Islam menawarkan adanya persamaan secara kuantitatif antara ahli waris laki-laki dan perempuan. Yahya Harahap menawarkan konsep satu bagian sebagai batas minimal dan dua bagian sebagai batas maksimal yang dapat diterima oleh ahli waris. Sedangkan Sarmadi menawarkan konsep harta bersama dan wasiat wajibah sebagai bagian alat kontrol pembagian waris di Indonesia. Dari perspektif sejarah hukum, ide tentang hukum waris bilateral telah berkembang sesuai dengan konteks Indonesia. Konsep waris bilateral tidak hanya mempertimbangkan makna ayat dan konteks Indonesia, tetapi juga perkembangan struktur dan hubungan kekerabatan, keadilan gender, dan keadilan sebagai tujuan utama kewarisan hukum Islam seperti yang disebutkan dalam ayat-ayat waris.

Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) regulates that the pregnant women can only be married by the men who got her pregnant. At the some time, some schools of Islamic jurisprudence, particularly Hanafite, allows the women to marry with other men. This paper discuss about the implementation of the marriage of pregnant women in the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama/KUA) and how the authorities understand the regulations by focusing on 5 districts of Kediri. This paper explains the attitude of law enforcer (marriage registrars) in determining the law reference in the case of pregnant women marriage. This paper found that the marriage registrars of these KUAs argued that pregnant women could be married by men who did not impregnate her. This indicates that marriage registrars in Kediri had a preferece to refer to classical Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) rather then state law (KHI). Sociological factors such as the pesantren environment and the influence of kyai as religious authority lead to this stand.Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) mengatur bahwa perempuan hamil hanya dapat dinikahkan dengan laki-laki yang menghamilinya. Sementara itu, mazhab Hanafi membolehkan perempuan tersebut dinikahkan dengan laki-laki lain. Tulisan ini mengkaji pelaksanaan pernikahan wanita hamil pada Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) di lima kecamatan yang ada di Kabupaten Kediri. Artikel ini menjelaskan bahwa para pegawai pencatat nikah (PPN) yang ada di lima kecamatan tersebut lebih memilih untuk merujuk pada fiqh klasik, Mazhab Hanafi, dalam pelaksanaan pernikahan wanita hamil. Mereka berpendapat bahwa wanita hamil di luar nikah dapat dinikahkan dengan laki-laki yang tidak menghamilinya. Alasan sosiologis seperti tradisi pesantren dan pengaruh kyai menjadi alasan penting munculnya sikap seperti ini.

Authors: Huda Misbahul
Published: April 2024

This article tries to elucidate Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir’s opinion on the husband beating against his wife. There are pro and con views among Muslim scholars on the husband beating against his wife. Some argue that this attitude is permitted and the rest have an opinion that the deed is forbidden. Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir has an opinion that the deed is forbidden and considered it as out of the context of educating wife in the case of rebellious wife. He quoted the view of Imam ‘Aṭā’ arguing that beating wife by her husband in the context of ta’dīb nusyūz is abhorrent (makrūh). It is an obligation for the government to forbid the deed. This opinion is a product of a method combining textual (lafẓiyyah/lugawiyyah) and contextual (ma‘nawiyyah/syar’iyyah) approaches leading to comparative and selective ijtihad (ijtihād intiqā’i).Artikel ini mengkaji pemikiran Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir tentang pemukulan yang dilakukan oleh suami terhadap isterinya. Di kalangan ulama, terdapat perbedaan pendapat tentang hukum memukul isteri oleh suami. Sebagian berpendapat bahwa perbuatan tersebut diperbolehkan, sedangkan pendapat lain menyatakan perbuatan tersebut dilarang. Dari kedua pendapat ini, Faqihuddin Abdul Qodir berpendapat bahwa pemukulan suami terhadap isteri merupakan perbuatan terlarang dan tidak termasuk dalam konteks pendidik isteri yang nuzyuz. Untuk memperkuat pendapatnya, Qodir mengutip pendapat Imam ‘Ata’ yang melihat pemukulan suami terhadap isterinya sebagai perbuatan yang makruh. Pemerintah berkewajiban untuk membuat aturan yang melarangnya. Pendapat ini merupakan hasil istinbāṭ hukum dengan menggabungkan pendekatan textual (lafẓiyyah/lugawiyyah) dan kontekstual (ma‘nawiyyah/syar’iyyah). Hasilnya dapat dianggap sebagai bentuk ijtihād intiqā’i (selektif komparatif)

Authors: Wobido Amanda Ribeiro , Cardoso Igor Oliveiros , Reis Bruno Rodrigues , Machado Alexandre Coelho , Soares Paulo Vinícius
Published: April 2024

RESUMO: Introdução: esse é o quarto de seis artigos que abordam uma análise geral da literatura sobre resinas compostas nos últimos dez anos. A contração de polimerização faz parte do processo de fotopolimerização e pode gerar tensão de contração residual, que pode ser relacionada com microinfiltração, microtrincas, sensibilidade pós-operatória e cárie secundária. Assim, o objetivo da presente revisão de literatura foi reunir e sintetizar os dados de contração de polimerização de diferentes resinas compostas, além de discutir os resultados de sensibilidade pós-operatória de diversos estudos clínicos. Métodos: foi realizada uma busca na base de dados PubMed, por meio da qual foram selecionados 25 artigos sobre contração de polimerização e 24 artigos sobre sensibilidade pós-operatória. Resultados: a contração de polimerização, a tensão de contração e a contração pós-gel têm relação direta e são influenciadas por diversos fatores, como composição da resina, condições de polimerização e técnica restauradora. As resinas bulk fill apresentaram valores menores ou semelhantes aos das resinas convencionais, tanto para tensão de contração quanto para contração de polimerização. As resinas convencionais fluidas apresentaram os maiores valores para ambas as propriedades. A sensibilidade pós-operatória variou de 0 a 52%. No geral, não foi encontrada diferença no desempenho clínico das diferentes resinas e adesivos utilizados. Conclusão: as resinas bulk fill, em geral, apresentam menor contração de polimerização e, consequentemente, menor tensão de contração residual. A sensibilidade pós-operatória está relacionada com diversos fatores; dessa forma, para evitar tal desconforto, todos os passos da restauração devem ser cuidadosamente realizados.

Objectives

While global  incidence rates (IR) of childhood diabetes are increasing, there is a notable lack  of current information on the incidence of childhood-onset diabetes in Thailand. This study aims to illustrate the age-standardized IR and types of childhood diabetes using multicenter regional data in Northern Thailand from 2005 to 2022 and to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

Data on newly diagnosed childhood diabetes were retrospectively collected between 2005 and 2016 and prospectively recorded for all incident cases between 2016 and 2022. The capture-recapture method was applied to estimate the completeness of ascertainment. The age-standardized IR of diabetes was calculated. The IR of diabetes and the prevalence/severity of DKA at onset were compared between the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods.

Results

Among 210 patients, type 1 diabetes (T1D) accounted for 56.2 %, type 2 diabetes (T2D) for 39 %, and other types for 4.8 %. The T1D age-standardized IR significantly increased from 0.30 in 2005 to 3.11/100,000 person/year in 2022, mirroring the T2D trend, which increased from 0.33 to 3.15/100,000 person/year. The average T1D age-standardized IR, including the prevalence/severity of DKA at diagnosis, did not significantly differ between the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods (2.11 vs. 2.36/100,000 person/year, p-value=0.67). However, the average T2D age-standardized IR significantly increased from 0.83 to 2.15/100,000 person/year during the pandemic (p-value=0.0057).

Conclusions

This study highlights an increased incidence of childhood T1D and T2D in Northern Thailand over a two-decade period. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the T1D incidence remained stable, while a significant rise in T2D incidence was observed.
Metalinguistic awareness as a factor in contact-induced language change
Authors: Hober Nicole
Published: April 2024

This opinion paper considers the role of metalinguistic awareness as a cognitive factor in contact-induced change (CIC). Although research in neighboring fields – for example, language pedagogy and second and third language acquisition – has shown that metalinguistic awareness is a non-structural factor, but does interact with cross-linguistic influences, metalinguistic awareness and its connection to CIC have largely remained undiscussed in contact linguistics. The goal of this contribution is threefold: (i) to put metalinguistic awareness on the agenda in language contact research; (ii) to relate metalinguistic awareness and CIC; and (iii) to showcase how CIC might be linked to different language experiences. To narrow the structural scope, I examine changes in passive constructions and discuss what role metalinguistic awareness might have played in the different developments.
Enhancing Participatory Design Through Blockchain
Authors: Whelan Brian
Published: April 2024

Participatory Design (PD) is a complex approach to designing products, services, or systems that actively involve the people who use, will use, or will be impacted by the design process. This article explores the use of blockchain to improve upon key challenge areas in PD, with a series of foundational premises proposed to address three specific areas (power dynamics, trust, and participation) where existing PD literature has identified challenges to successful PD administration. Blockchain technology may help to improve outcomes in these areas, and provide a platform for successful PD administration that is superior to those used for PD projects today. Specific uses for blockchain in PD initiatives are illuminated, along with corresponding benefits that may enhance the outcomes of PD initiatives.

Published: April 2024

Aqueous solutions of surfactants exhibit remarkable differences in their adsorption properties on metal surfaces. This study evaluates the adsorption of surfactant mixtures on zinc metal surfaces. The adsorption of single surfactants cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) and sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) and their mixtures from aqueous solution at mole fractions of 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 on zinc powder at 25 °C was studied. The surface tension of the single and CAPB/SDBS surfactant mixtures was measured in the presence and absence of 2 % zinc powder to determine the adsorption isotherms. The depletion method was employed to carry out the adsorption investigation. The amount of the surfactant adsorbed was also calculated from the shaded area between the surface tension versus concentration curves of these surfactants in the presence and absence of 2 % zinc powder. The highest adsorbed amounts were found to increase with the SDBS content. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of zinc sheets in solutions containing single or mixed CAPB/SDBS surfactants were taken in the presence and absence of 0.05 M HCl. The micrographs indicated that the CAPB-SDBS surfactant layers formed by precipitation can protect zinc metal from acid corrosion.
A pivot point in Maya history: fire-burning event at K'anwitznal (Ucanal) and the making of a new era of political rule
Authors: Halperin Christina T. , Perea Carrera Marta Lidia , Miller Wolf Katherine A. , LeMoine Jean-Baptiste
Published: April 2024

Key tipping points of history are rarely found directly in the archaeological record, not least because an event's significance often lies in the perception of the participants. This article documents an early-ninth-century ritual fire-burning event at the Maya site of Ucanal in Guatemala and argues that it marked a public dismantling of an old regime. Rather than examine this event as part of a Classic period Maya collapse, the authors propose that it was a revolutionary pivot point around which the K'anwitznal polity reinvented itself, ushering in wider political transitions in the southern Maya Lowlands.
Resurrecting, reinterpreting and reusing stratigraphy: an afterlife for archaeological data
Authors: Taylor James Stuart , May Keith
Published: April 2024

Stratigraphic data form the backbone of archaeological records from excavated sites and are essential for the integrated analysis and wider interpretation of artefacts and sites. Accessible archiving of this data is therefore vital for understanding and revisiting such interpretations. Here, the authors highlight the need for more consistent digital records of stratigraphic and associated temporal relationships derived during post-excavation analysis phasing activities. They argue for the distillation of best practice in post-excavation procedures and the application of consistent and persistent terminology to make this fundamental archaeological data sustainably FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) and ‘Open’ across present-day geopolitical and spatiotemporal boundaries.
Association between Methylmalonic Acid and Abdominal Aortic Calcification in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Chen Jun , Lin Yingwen , Teng Zhonghua , Lin Zhibin , Li Junrui , Zeng Qingchun
Published: April 2024

Objective: Methylmalonic acid (MMA) buildup has recently been suggested to contribute to the onset of both age-related conditions and cardiovascular disorders. This research was aimed at examining the link between MMA and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC).

Methods: Data from the 2013–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. Serum MMA levels were determined through LC-MS/MS, and MMA levels 250 nmol/L or above were considered high. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess the presence of AAC. Logistic regression analysis was performed after propensity score matching (PSM) to study the relationship between MMA and AAC.

Results: A total of 2483 participants were involved in this study. To eliminate large differences between the AAC and non-AAC groups, 1:1 PSM was performed. Logistic regression analysis indicated that participants with high MMA levels had a significantly greater likelihood of experiencing AAC than those with low MMA levels (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.01–1.90, P = 0.046). No statistically interaction effects between AAC and BMI or the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were observed in subgroup analyses.

Conclusion: Our study indicated a significant association between high serum MMA levels and AAC incidence.

A sequence-to-sequence model is used as the foundation for a suggested abstractive Arabic text summarizing system. Our goal is to create a sequence-to-sequence model by utilizing multiple deep artificial neural networks and determining which one performs the best. The encoder and decoder have been developed using several layers of recurrent neural networks, gated recurrent units, recursive neural networks, convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory, and bidirectional long short-term memory. We are re-implementing the fundamental summarization model in this study, which uses the sequence-to-sequence framework. Using a Google Colab Jupiter notebook that runs smoothly, we have constructed these models using the Keras library. The results further demonstrate that one of the key techniques that has led to breakthrough performance with deep neural networks is the use of Gensim for word embeddings over other text representations by abstractive summarization models, along with FastText, a library for efficient learning of word representations and sentence classification.

Melothria L. (Cucurbitaceae) is a Neotropical genus of wild cucumber comprising 12 species. The only species that occurs in Malesia is M. pendula L., which has been recorded in Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, mainland Sumatra, the Philippines, Sulawesi, and Bali. During our botanical excursions in Bangka and West Java from 2020 to 2022, we discovered naturalized populations of M. pendula. Our findings reveal that M. pendula has an extensive distribution in Sumatra and is a newly recorded wild cucumber in Java. We present a morphological description, photographs, and a brief discussion.

Purpose - to determination of the course and effectiveness of treatment of obstetric surgical wound infection in women in labor when using drugs with sorption-detoxification and immunomodulatory properties based on the study of the morphology of the wound process through the use of histological and cytological studies. Materials and methods. In the work, histological and cytological studies were used to monitor the course of the wound process in 115 parturients with purulent wounds of the anterior abdominal wall after caesarean section and perineum after episio- and perineotomy. Women are divided into groups depending on the method of treatment: the Group I - 42 parturients with purulent wounds, who were treated with organosilicon sorbent Gentaxan; the Group II - 45 women in labor with purulent wounds, who were treated with organosilicon sorbent Gentaxan and immunomodulator Laferon; the Group III - 28 women in labor with purulent wounds, who were treated with traditional methods - with subsequent statistical processing of the obtained results. Results. Based on the analysis of cytological and histological data, it was determined that the course of reparative processes in the wound during complex treatment with a sorbent and an immunomodulator is faster than that of monotherapy with a sorbent and conventional therapy - by 1.5-2 and 4-5 days, respectively. This was confirmed by a decrease in leukocytes, microorganisms, neutrophils and an increase in lymphocytes and connective tissue cells in the wound, affected the faster cleaning of the wound of dead and non-viable tissues, the rapid elimination of swelling and inflammation in the wound, and the acceleration of reparative processes. Conclusions. The complex use of an immunomodulator and a sorbent in the treatment of purulent wounds shows an advantage over sorbent monotherapy by accelerating the reparative processes in the wound by 1.5-2 days, and over traditional therapy by 4-5 days, which makes it possible to recommend them for use in practical medicine. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution.

Purpose - to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the proposed preventive and therapeutic complex using modern drugs and organ-preserving methods of surgical treatment in pregnant women with uterine leiomyoma FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) type 3-6. Materials and methods. This prospective study was conducted with a comprehensive examination, selection of optimal tactics for pregnancy management and delivery in 70 pregnant women with uterine leiomyoma using the complex developed by us (main group), 41 pregnant women with uterine leiomyoma with standard pregnancy management (comparison group) and 50 pregnant women without uterine leiomyomas in the II-III trimesters of pregnancy and after childbirth at 4 clinical bases of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology No. 1 of the Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine for 3 years - 2020-2023. Results. 70 pregnant women of the main group, who used the treatment and prevention complex developed by us, had significantly lower rates of iron deficiency anemia, the frequency of the threat of premature birth, fetal distress, and hypotonic labor compared to the comparison group and approached the rates of the control group (p<0.05). A 1.8-fold decrease in the risk of premature birth among women in the main group was also noted, as well as a 1.3-fold decrease in the cesarean section rate. PPH volume during vaginal delivery and cesarean section in the main group was significantly lower compared to the comparison group (p<0.01) and had no statistical difference with the control group (p>0.05). Conclusions. Pregnant women with uterine leiomyoma have an increased risk of iron-deficiency anemia, the threat of premature birth, weakness in labor, fetal distress, cesarean section, and PPH development. The treatment and prevention complex proposed by us and the optimal technique for performing cesarean sections allowed not only to reduce the frequency of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, but also to reduce the rate of PPH and reduce the indicators of maternal morbidity. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution.

Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis refers to estrogen-dependent diseases, clinically manifested by dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia. Decreased fertility in women with endometriosis is associated with the presence of chronic inflammation that leads to pelvic pain and infertility. It is believed that endometriosis is associated with mood disorders such as anxiety or depression, which can create a pathological background for sexual dysfunction. Purpose - to establish the relationship between female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and external genital endometriosis in order to optimize women's pregravid preparation. Materials and methods. 100 women of reproductive age were examined. The main group (the Group I) consisted of 70 women who had external genital endometriosis (diagnosed by ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, ovarian endometrioma size up to 5 cm). The main group was divided into 2 subgroups: IA - 40 women with FSD and endometriosis; IB - 30 women with FSD without endometriosis. The control group (the Group II) included 30 healthy reproductively active women in the pre-gravid stage. In the course of the study, the nosological unit approved by the World Health Organization (1999) was taken into account and taken as a basis - FSD, which include disorders of desire, arousal and reaching orgasm, dyspareunia and vaginismus. The results of clinical and biochemical studies were processed using a specialized package of statistical programs Statistica 8.0 (StatSoft Inc., USA). The following criteria were used for statistical processing of the obtained data: Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson chi-squared (χ2) test, Wilcoxon test. Results. The analysis of the definition of FSD in women with endometriosis clearly indicates the presence of signs of FSD in all areas and is statistically significantly different from the indicator of healthy women. Conclusions. There is a relationship between endometriosis and FSD that can be determined using the FSFI Questionnaire Calculator. Since FSD and endometriosis have a polymorbid background, treatment should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of doctors and be personalized. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution.
