Published: November 2023

Foliar application is one of the most effective ways to enhance plants physiological indexes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foliar application of chemical fertilizers on morphological traits, antioxidant enzymes, and proline content of maize (Zea mays L.). An experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replication during two years (2018–2019) in Mazrae Katul city, located in Golestan province, Iran. The treatments included nitrogen (urea), potassium (potassium sulphate) and zinc (zinc sulphate) fertilizers of individual application, combined application of nitrogen + potassium, nitrogen + zinc, zinc + potassium and nitrogen + zinc + potassium against the control treatment. The results showed that the studied traits were affected by fertilizer resources at p < 0.01. The application of nitrogen increased dry and fresh weight of silk, number of seeds per cob, number of seeds per row, seed weight and biological yield significantly. Combined application of fertilizers increased stem diameter, number of seeds per cob, number of seeds per row, seed weight, dry and fresh weight of silk and biological yield significantly. The activity of antioxidant enzymes (leaf catalase, polyphenol oxidase in leaf, silk, seed and silk peroxidase) was affected by zinc resources and nitrogen application and increased leaf and silk peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase in leaf, silk and seed and silk catalase. Overall, combined application of fertilizers improved silk dry and fresh weight, antioxidant enzymes (leaf, silk and seed) and silk and seed proline significantly and thus, is recommended for improvement of morphophysiological traits and yield.

Authors: Singh Sinam Ashinikumar , Singh Sinam Ajitkumar , Singh Aheibam Dinamani
Published: November 2023

Cardiovascular diseases remain the foremost global cause of mortality, necessitating timely and accurate diagnosis. Auscultation, relying on a physician's expertise and a stethoscope, stands as the primary diagnostic tool for cardiovascular disorders. However, its inherent subjectivity necessitates the development of an efficient clinical support system capable of transforming this subjective process into a computerized and proficient method. In real-world clinical settings, auscultation sounds frequently become entangled with ambient noise, demanding the implementation of an effective denoising technique followed by a robust classification model to ensure accurate categorization. In this research paper, we present an innovative preprocessing technique that harnesses the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) method to effectively denoise heart sounds. Subsequently, the denoised sound signals undergo processing through a Gammatone filter bank and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) to generate time-frequency distributions in the form of Gammatonegram images and Spectrogram images. To tackle the challenges associated with imbalanced datasets, we incorporate a data augmentation method during the image processing phase. These images are then subjected to classification using various deep convolutional neural network architectures grounded in transfer learning principles, specifically CNN models, including AlexNet, SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, and VGG19, to mitigate model overfitting.Our experimental results undergo rigorous validation using the publicly accessible PhysioNet 2016 dataset. Notably, our proposed methodology, particularly when leveraging Gammatonegram images, demonstrates highly promising results. These outcomes underscore the considerable clinical potential of our approach, particularly in the context of detecting imbalanced and noisy heart sound signals, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of cardiovascular disease diagnosis.

Published: November 2023

The current study focused on the essential oil concentration and aroma profile in different parts of wild Pycnocycla aucherana Decne from Iran during two years 2017 and 2018. Plant samples of P. aucherana were collected from HajiAbad area located in Hormozgan province, Iran at reproductive stage on June 7, 2017 and 2018. Essential oil isolation was done by hydro-distillation method for 3 hours. For the qualification and quantification of components, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was applied. Results showed that the averages of essential oil percentage of shoot and leaf (SL) and seed in the first and second year were (0.13, 0.23%) and (0.4, 0.3%) respectively. The main chemotype was namely -phellandrene (5.96-16%), p-cymene (3.07-27.4%), Limonene (0.72-6.80%), γ-cadinene (0.8-4.33%), Spathulenol (1.90-8.64%), Elemol (0.3-6.69%), b-eudesmol (0.8-9.27), and Bulnesol (0.91-3.40%). The highest amount of -phellandrene (16%) and p-cymene (27.4%) was observed in the seed and (SL) of essential oils in the first year respectively. Elemol and Elemicin content increased during the second year in the seed of essential oils with amount of (6.69 %) and (25.69 %), respectively. Overall, the results showed that the geographic origin greatly influenced the chemical composition of P. aucherana.

Authors: YÜKSEL Yavuz , DEMİR Mustafa Kürşat
Published: November 2023

In this study, the effect of palm kernel powder (PKP), a vegetable waste, on the quality parameters of bread and dough was investigated. For this purpose, farinograph and extensograph values of doughs made from PKP-flour (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%) mixed flours were investigated. Weight, volume, specific volume, crust color, inner color and firmness values were investigated in bread made from mixed flour. The results showed that the water absorption, development time, stability, resistance to extension and maximum resistance values of the dough increased with the increase in the amount of PKP. It also decreased in degree of softening, extensibility and energy levels. The change in softening degree and stability values were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). PKP additive caused a firmer structure in bread samples. It was observed that the weight, volume, specific volume, first-day hardness and third-day hardness values of the bread increased with the increase in PKP. L* and a* values of bread crust color and inner color decreased with the addition of PKP. The increase in PKP had a positive effect on bread quality by increasing dough stability and bread volume values.
Data-driven and echo state network-based prediction of wave propagation behavior in dam-break flood

Published: November 2023

The computational prediction of wave propagation in dam-break floods is a long-standing problem in hydrodynamics and hydrology. We show that a reservoir computing echo state network (RC-ESN) that is well-trained on a minimal amount of data can accurately predict the long-term dynamic behavior of a one-dimensional dam-break flood. We solve the de Saint-Venant equations for a one-dimensional dam-break flood scenario using the Lax–Wendroff numerical scheme and train the RC-ESN model. The results demonstrate that the RC-ESN model has good prediction ability, as it predicts wave propagation behavior 286 time-steps ahead with a root mean square error smaller than 0.01, outperforming the conventional long short-term memory (LSTM) model, which only predicts 81 time-steps ahead. We also provide a sensitivity analysis of prediction accuracy for RC-ESN's key parameters such as training set size, reservoir size, and spectral radius. Results indicate that the RC-ESN is less dependent on training set size, with a medium reservoir size of 1,200–2,600 sufficient. We confirm that the spectral radius has a complex influence on the prediction accuracy and currently recommend a smaller spectral radius. Even when the initial flow depth of the dam break is changed, the prediction horizon of RC-ESN remains greater than that of LSTM.

Published: November 2023

We use a Generalized Watershed Loading Function (GWLF) model to simulate streamflow in the Gualí River Basin. The model's performance is assessed using metrics such as percentage of bias (PBIAS), Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), RMSE–observations standard deviation ratio (RSR), and Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE) to indicate good performance. Furthermore, we analyze projections of precipitation and streamflow using several global climate models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and three shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5). Despite the uncertainties and coarse resolution, our results show that increases in the mean streamflow and significantly decreasing trends in projected precipitation and streamflow are observed from 2015 to 2099 under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Furthermore, our findings suggest an increase in long-term mid-flow and low-flow. Moreover, this work provides a methodological framework for hydrological modeling in small tropical river basins, by incorporating data from GCMs while raising concerns and caveats. This study offers valuable insights into the potential effects of climate change on streamflow in an Andean river basin characterized by volcanic activity and significant human impacts. The findings reported here provide useful information for future decisions related to water supply for the social, environmental, and productive sectors in the seven towns within the catchment.

Authors: Wu Fan , Chen Mulan , Wang Lili , Li Nani , Wu Xiufeng , Chen Xinhua , Hong Yi , Li Chongyin , Lin Lin , Chen Kan , Huang Weiwei , Liu Jian
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective:

This study aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of inetetamab
and pyrotinib in combination with vinorelbine in second-line therapy and beyond in
HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Methods:

Patients with HER2-positive MBC admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December
2021 were selected. For patients who could not receive antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs)
during second-line (2nd-line) or third-line and beyond (≥ 3rd-line) anti-HER2 therapy, inetetamab +
pyrotinib + vinorelbine was used for treatment until unacceptable adverse events occurred or the
disease progressed, as evaluated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
1.1 every 2 cycles. The progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), clinical
benefit rate (CBR), and adverse reactions were recorded. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was
performed to explore the prognostic factors influencing the curative effect.

Results:

Overall, 52 patients were included; 13 patients received 2nd-line treatment, and 39 patients
received ≥ 3rd-line treatment. The median PFS (mPFS) for all patients treated with inetetamab +
pyrotinib + vinorelbine was 7 months. The mPFS of the 2nd-line subgroup was significantly better
than that of the ≥ 3rd-line subgroup (17 vs. 5 months, P = 0.001). The mPFS of the subgroups that
received trastuzumab (H) or trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HP) only was significantly better than
that of the H or HP and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) subgroups (8 vs. 5 months, P = 0.030). The
mPFS of the HER2 resistance subgroup was better than that of the HER2 refractoriness subgroup
(14 vs. 7 months, P = 0.025). Cox regression analysis showed that the treatment line (2nd-line more
so than ≥ 3rd-line) was an independent prognostic factor for PFS. In addition, the ORR and CBR of
2nd-line patients were significantly higher than those of ≥ 3rd-line patients (69.2% vs. 30.8% and
92.3% vs. 64.1%, respectively). The most common hematological toxicities were leukopenia and
neutropenia, and the most common nonhematological toxicity was diarrhea.

Conclusion:

Inetetamab and pyrotinib in combination with vinorelbine have good efficacy in ≥
2nd-line treatment of HER2-positive MBC with controllable toxicity, and the combination is a new
treatment option, especially for patients who cannot use ADCs in 2nd-line treatment.

Published: November 2023

Introduction:

Ovarian cancers are the third most common gynecological cancers worldwide
with serous carcinomas being the most common subtype with 90% of them as high-grade carcinomas.

Case Presentation:

In the present case report a 60 years postmenopausal, nulliparous woman presented
with complaints of bleeding per vaginum for 1-2 months with a left-sided solid-cystic ovarian
mass of size 4x5 cm and ipsilateral enlarged external iliac and obturator lymph nodes which were
diagnosed on histopathological examination as high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOCs) with
ipsilateral pelvic lymph node metastasis in presence of intact ovarian capsule and no metastatic deposits
over the uterus, contralateral ovary and fallopian tubes, omentum, or any other gross peritoneal
deposits. There was coexisting non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia. The patient was managed successfully
with staging laparotomy with modified radical hysterectomy, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy
followed by six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin injections.

Conclusion:

Patients with HGSOCs can have varied presentations with unusual involvement of
lymph nodes in the absence of peritoneal spread. Hence, the clinician must be aware of these unusual
presentations for the successful management of such cases.

Authors: Duerme Khent Ivan , Montano Cathleen , Diamante Eliezer , Fundador Noreen Grace
Published: November 2023

Background:

Foodborne pathogenic bacteria continue to become a global concern despite
the advancements in food packaging technology. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely studied in
the field as they exhibit desirable inhibitory properties against foodborne pathogens. AgNPs are conventionally
synthesized by toxic chemical and physical means; hence, there is a need to seek environmentally
safe alternative routes for producing AgNPs.

Objective:

The study aimed to synthesize AgNPs using bignay (Antidesma bunius) leaf extract and
assess its antimicrobial activity against the common foodborne pathogens S. aureus and E. coli.

Methods:

Bignay leaf extract was characterized using total phenolic content (TPC) assay and 2,2-
Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. AgNPs were produced under optimized pH, temperature,
and incubation time and were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared
spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs was evaluated
against S. aureus and E. coli using the Resazurin Microtiter Assay (REMA).

Results:

Bignay leaf extract exhibited a total phenolic content of 0.315 ± 0.015 mg GAE/mg extract
and an IC50 of 36.36 ± 0.003 μg/mL, which suggests its good reducing properties. The AgNPs synthesized
under reaction conditions of pH 7, 45 ºC, and 30 min showed SPR peaks in the range of 412-
426 nm. Particles were spherical with an average size of 23.72 ± 7.30 nm. FTIR analysis revealed
that the phenolic compounds in the extract capped the resulting nanoparticles. AgNPs demonstrated
superior inhibitory activity against S. aureus and E. coli with MIC90 values of 2.90 ± 0.03 and 3.08 ±
0.004 μg/mL, respectively.

Conclusion:

The study was able to develop a green approach for the synthesis of AgNPs with antibacterial
properties using bignay leaf extract.
The Traditional Immune Boosting Recipes
Authors: Sultana Rokeya
Published: November 2023

The immune system is amazingly complicated and vital for our survival.
Several different systems and cell types of our body work effortlessly in ideal
synchrony throughout the body to fight off pathogens and clear up dead cells. Our
immune systems perform an implausible job by putting up a wall that can safeguard the
disease-causing microorganisms. Our immune system requires equilibrium to function
smoothly, so a person must eat and drink healthy balanced foods for getting energy and
nutrients. The immunity related diseases may occur due to several factors such as
seasonal change, environment factors, virus attacks, and simple stress. To combat
these, we need to consume immunity-boosting foods and nutrients rich in antioxidants
like Alium sativum, Alium cepa, Citrus limon, Withania somnifera,Moringa oleifera,
Curcuma longa, etc., which can build up the immunity. The traditional system of
medicine like Ayurveda and Siddha system of medicine quoted several traditional
immune-boosting recipes like Maha- sudharshnachoornam, Talisadichoornam,
Dhanavantam, Gulika-churnam, sitophaladichoornam, etc. Several times it is proven
that lifestyle and dietary changes can result in a better immune system. A healthy
lifestyle includes consuming foods which help in boosting immunity. In addition to
keeping a balanced diet in our daily life, there is a necessity for traditional immunity boosting agents simultaneously. Traditional immunity-boosting agents are usually rich
in vitamins, antioxidants, and other minerals and the requisite nutrients for maintaining
equilibrium in the immune system. In this chapter, detailed information about
Traditional immunity-boosting agents will be discussed.

Published: November 2023

Frozen shoulder affects shoulder joints. Ayurveda links it to Vata-vitiated Avabhahuk. Frozen shoulders occur when aggravatedVata dries out its binding elements and constricts shoulder veins. This disorder restricts shoulder movement due to Sira constriction.Since aggravating variables cause all motor functions and joint ranges of motion, treating a frozen shoulder should focus on pacifying Vataand Kapha. The main aim of the presentcase is to assess the role of comprehensive management of a frozen shoulder in a geriatricfemale patient by using Panchakarma (purification therapy) and Shamana (palliative) in Ayurveda. And the objective is to reduce theduration of treatment and cure the medical condition with the greatest possible benefit. It is a single case study of a seventyyears oldfemale patient who has represented herself with complaints such as Pain and Stiffness in her right shoulder joint with its restrictedmovement, inability to lift a completely right hand in an upward direction, difficulty while walking due to pain in both knee joints for fourmonths. The comprehensive regime using was prescribed for purification therapy treatment (local massage with Dashmoola Oil, PatraPinda Sudation, Nasal instillation with Anutail (oil), Janu Basti (knee joint retention enema) with Sahcharadi oil, and medicated enemaregimefor 16 days.

The structural properties of a magnetically semi-hard near equiatomic FeCo-2wt%V (FeCoV) alloy produced by Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) (option by fine metal powder - Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) technology) were investigated in this paper. Starting granulate was prepared by mixing FeCoV powder with a low-viscosity binder. After injection, the green samples were first treated with a solvent and then thermally with the same aim of removing the binder. MIM technology was completed by high-temperature sintering for 3.5 hours at temperatures from 1370 to 1460?C in a hydrogen atmosphere, which provides the necessary magnetic and mechanical characteristics. The influence of sintering temperature was investigated concerning the aspects of the processes of structural transformation by the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The appearance of an intense diffraction peak of the ?'- FeCo phase (crystal structure type B2) was registered for all investigated samples. Structural parameters particle size Dmax, Feret X, and Feret Y exhibit constant increase with increase of sintering temperature.

Process development and process adaption guidelines for the deposition of thin-walled structures with IN718 using extreme high-speed directed energy deposition (EHLA3D)
Authors: Ko Min-Uh , Zhang Zongwei , Schopphoven Thomas
Published: November 2023

Extreme high-speed directed energy deposition (EHLA) is a modified variant of the laser based directed energy deposition (DED-LB) and is being applied as an efficient coating process for rotational symmetric components. Characteristics of EHLA processes are feed rates of up to 200 m/min, which result in smaller weld bead deposition and thinner layer thicknesses compared to conventional DED-LB. When transferred to additive manufacturing, this characteristic utilizes the potential of depositing thin-walled filigree structures at deposition rates, which are comparable to typical DED-LB processes (EHLA3D). The results of this work were achieved with an EHLA3D machine, which is a modified CNC-type machine capable of operating feed rates with vf = 30 m/min. In this work, process parameters were developed for the deposition of thin-walled filigree structures with the Ni-based superalloy IN718. Single tracks with constant feed rates and a variation in the beam diameter and powder mass flow were deposited and analyzed regarding the resulting weld bead dimension and dilution zone. Then, process parameters were selected and transferred to the deposition of thin walls, and guidelines of the parameter adaption toward thin-walled deposition were defined. Two parameter sets were developed to assess the feasible wall-thicknesses deposited by EHLA3D. Depending on the developed parameter sets, wall thicknesses between 300 and 500 μm are achieved. To characterize the resulting thin-walls, surface roughness measurements and metallographic cross sections were conducted.
Diversity without Harmony: Loanwords of the Languages of the Third World After WWII
Authors: Wen Hao , Nian Weifeng
Published: November 2023

Language is one of the fundamental mediums through which the culture of a country or a people is transmitted. It is through language that we can find many traces of history and foreign influence, which can help us to learn a lot about history and culture. At the same time, the post-World War II period has seen rapid social, political, cultural, and technological changes, and the world as a whole has been undergoing unprecedented changes for over a century since the Cold War and countries and peoples have had to seek common ground and find opportunities for cooperation in the midst of globalisation, especially for Third World countries, which are at a disadvantage in terms of economic development and culture. Three representative Third World countries - Tanzania, Indonesia, and Paraguay - are chosen for this study, which seeks to identify trends in the use of foreign languages in Third World countries by examining their historical and post-World War II development of foreign language cultures. Trends in the development of loanwords in languages. By focusing mainly on local economic and cultural developments after the Second World War and comparing them with the historical situation in these Third World countries (mainly during the colonial period), a new picture will emerge from the unnoticed corners of the world, showing us the way to the future of language development from the perspective of loanwords.

We construct a family of non-equivalent pairwise extensions of the category of comodules of the Taft algebra, which are equivalent to representation categories of non-triangular quasi-Hopf algebras.
Dimension of uncountably generated submodules
Authors: DAVOUDIAN Maryam
Published: November 2023

In this article we introduce and study the concepts of uncountably generated Krull dimension and uncountably generated Noetherian dimension of an $R$-module, where $R$ is an arbitrary associative ring. These dimensions are ordinal numbers and extend the notion of Krull dimension and Noetherian dimension.

They respectively rely on the behavior of descending and ascending chains of uncountably generated submodules.

It is proved that a quotient finite dimensional module $M$ has uncountably generated Krull dimension if and only if it has Krull dimension, but

the values of these dimensions might differ.

Similarly, a quotient finite dimensional module $M$ has uncountably generated Noetherian dimension if and only if it has Noetherian dimension.

We also show that the Noetherian dimension of a quotient finite dimensional module $M$ with uncountably generated Noetherian dimension $\beta$ is less than or equal to $\omega _{1}+\beta $, where $\omega_{1}$ is the first uncountable ordinal number.
Contemporary Ecosophies and Ecorhythmology
Authors: Berszán István
Published: November 2023

The present paper compares the author’s original proposal called ecorhythmology with contemporary ecophilosophies. After briefly outlining the background and results of more than two decades of research, it examines the seminal theses of Object Oriented Ontology (Graham Harman), Action Network Theory (Bruno Latour) and the concept of being ecological (Timothy Morton) from an ecorhythmological perspective. Taking stock of interesting similarities and correspondences, this analysis also raises new questions, to which the author proposes different solutions. The paper presents two critiques of the reductionism of string theory and compares Harman’s theory of metaphor with the concept of art based on gestural resonance. Further investigations connect Latour’s redistribution of agency to the intersubjective relationship between the human and non-human, and relate hybridity to proximity. In the second part of the paper, Morton’s different temporalities are juxtaposed with rhythmic dimensions, and finally, the article makes a difference between the casual, political and ethical approaches to the phenomenon of tuning. The stakes are always learning and relearning what kind of contact making can lead to greater peace in difficult human – non-human coexistence.
There is no Other Air Here, we are Alive With the Air of the Paltinsky Meadow…”
Authors: Radics Rudolf
Published: November 2023

The focus of this paper is an ecocritical examination of Ádám Bodor’s The Birds of Verhovina. The study begins with an introduction to Hubert Zapf ’s theory of sustainable texts and the ecocritical concept of Greg Garrard’s Ecocriticism, and concludes with an interpretation of the chosen work along ecocritical tropes. The paper starts from the premise that Ádám Bodor’s work employs the rhetoric of ecocriticism, thereby closely linking literature to a wider web of discourses on nature and the environment. The hypothesis of the study is that the relationship between human and nature, nature and culture, and power and the individual are emphasised in the work. The inhabitants of Verhovina live in harmony with nature; wild and untamed nature not only provides the community with raw materials, but also creeps into the consciousness of the characters, determining their behaviour, their attitudes towards each other, as well as their way of thinking about life. However, the various signs of this shift of power suggest that a rupture has occurred in the hitherto harmonious relationship between the community and nature, the individual and nature.
It is Possible to Work with Them and Develop such a Mutually Good Relationship…”
Authors: Balogh Pál Géza
Published: November 2023

In this study, I examine the complex intertwining of the relationship between man and nature through the activities of a typical group of farmers dominated by urban-rural farmers, the artisan cheese makers of Hungary. I focus on a specific issue, raw milk cheese making, where humans and microbes work together on a daily basis to produce a sellable product. In this context, I will describe how the complex, hybrid nature of the knowledge required for this process of cheese making is produced, and then review the different narratives of Hungarian cheesemakers about the method. I will then show how this method and the particular perspective it entails affects the daily practice of farming, and how working with invisible microbes transforms the fundamental way these farmers think about the relationship between humans and non-human actors.

The article describes and evaluates Georgian legislation in comparison to foreign legislation, as well as, based on the practical analysis, highlights the critical elements of the actual composition leading to suicide and suicide attempt. The problem of identifying whether a crime leading to suicide, or a suicide attempt qualifies for prosecution before investigative bodies and national courts is the main concern. Because of this, the article analyzes topics covered by European and National Court judgments on human rights. The intricacies of the suicide investigation are explained based on the author’s personal professional and practical knowledge, likewise, the conditions that need to be proven all through the case investigations. This article provides an overview of the problems with the current legislative architecture, its weaknesses, and basic suggestions for improving them.
Genesis of Legal Regulation of Pre-Trial Detention in Sweden and Ukraine: Comparative Analysis
Authors: Melnykova Dariia
Published: November 2023

The paper goes on to discuss the prevalence of issues in pre-trial detention practices in both Sweden and Ukraine, as noted by international and national organizations. Sweden has witnessed a growing trend in pre-trial detention statistics, while Ukraine, despite a decreasing trend in remand, faces a substantial number of cases brought against it at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) pertaining to pre-trial detention. The historical context reveals that these two countries have responded differently to criticism and challenges, reflecting variations in their legal systems and corresponding regulations on pre-trial detention. Nonetheless, both nations have pursued reforms with a shared objective: to improve the pre-trial detention system. Given these divergent experiences, statistical data, and overall context, it is evident that a comparative analysis of pre-trial detention policies in Sweden and Ukraine is warranted. Such a comparison can offer valuable insights into the existing problems in both countries and suggest pertinent solutions, taking into consideration their distinctive experiences and circumstances.
