Authors: Egorova Ekaterina S. , Musulevska Valeriia V. , Guk Mykola O. , Skobska Oksana Y.
Published: January 2025

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of radiological methods for diagnosing optic nerve and chiasm atrophy in compressive optic neuropathy caused by tumors of the chiasmal-sellar region (CSR).
Material and methods: The diagnostic and treatment outcomes of 50 patients (100 eyes) with CSR tumors were analyzed. These patients were treated at the A.P. Romodanov Institute of Neurosurgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine from 2021 to 2023. The study group of patients (50 patients) was divided into two subgroups: Group I – restoration of visual functions (26 patients, 52%, 52 eyes); Group II – no restoration of visual functions (24 patients, 48%, 48 eyes). Clinical-neurological, ophthalmological, and otoneurological examinations were performed. MRI of the brain was conducted on all patients using high-field scanners (1.5 and 3.0 Tesla), and measurements of the optic nerve (ON) diameter in the intraorbital and intracranial parts, as well as the height and width of the chiasm.
Results: The morphometric parameters of the ON diameter in the intraorbital part and the height of the chiasm did not significantly differ between the studied groups (p>0.05). The morphometric parameters of Group I did not differ from the control group (p>0.05). In Group II the average diameter of the intracranial part of the ON (2.31±0.26 mm) and the average width of the chiasm (11.39±0.31 mm) were statistically significantly different from the control group values: 2.97±0.2 mm and 13.69±0.57 mm, respectively, p<0.05. Despite significant variability in individual characteristics, the parameters of the intracranial part of the ON ≤ 2.31 mm and the chiasm width of ≤ 11.39 mm indicate irreversible atrophic changes and can be used to predict ophthalmological outcomes in patients with CSR tumors.
Conclusions: Measuring the thickness of the chiasm and the diameter of the intracranial part of the optic nerve using high-resolution MRI is a convenient and effective method for diagnosing optic nerve atrophy (ONA) and predicting ophthalmological outcomes after decompression of the optochiasmal complex.
Age-related aspects of glioma: current understanding. Literature review
Authors: Luhovskyi Serhii P. , Kvitnytska-Ryzhova Tetiana Y.
Published: January 2025

The updated 2021 WHO Classification of Central Nervous System (CNS) Tumors introduces, for the first time, an age-based approach to glioma classification, leveraging advances in molecular biology and epigenetics of CNS tumors. This classification groups gliomas within the category "Gliomas, glioneuronal tumors, and neuronal tumors," distinguishing between adult-type and pediatric-type diffuse gliomas, corresponding to low-grade and high-grade malignancies (LGG and HGG), highlighting the fundamental role of age in gliomagenesis. A review of current literature deepens the understanding of age-related characteristics, differences, and patterns in gliomagenesis across age groups, which is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment.
Pediatric-type and adult-type low-grade gliomas (pLGG and aLGG) differ in location, biological behavior, and molecular-genetic profiles. Inherited syndromes (e.g., NF-1, TSC) associated with glioma development are linked to specific LGG subtypes occurring in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Moreover, pLGG differs from aLGG in its potential for malignant transformation and spontaneous regression, as well as in mutations affecting the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway.
While pediatric-type and adult-type high-grade gliomas (pHGG and aHGG) share histological features, they differ in location, biological behavior, molecular-genetic profiles, and prognosis. A major distinction between aHGG and pHGG lies in mutations such as IDH 1/2, EGFR gene expression, TERT mutations, chromosome alterations (+7/-10), and TP53 mutations, all contributing to a poorer prognosis in HGG gliomas. Additionally, changes in histone proteins H3.3 or 3.1 (H3.3 K27 and H3 G34) in pHGG, as opposed to aHGG, carry diagnostic and prognostic significance.
An analysis of data on glioma epidemiology, risk factors, and characteristic molecular-genetic features considering age is provided. The next publication will cover certain clinical aspects of this issue.

الأبعاد الإنسانية لحرب الابادة في غزة ودور السياسة الأمريكية في تعزيز الصراع
Authors: شمص أكرم محمد علي
Published: January 2025

قدمت الولايات المتحدة جميع أنواع الدعم السياسي والدبلوماسي والعسكري لإسرائيل للقيام بشن أكبر عملية لحرب الإبادة الجماعية والتطهير العرقي في الأراضي الفلسطينية في قطاع غزة، وأعمال العنف المتطرف المستمرة في الضفة الغربية والقدس الشرقية. بدأت هذه العملية في السابع من شهر تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2023، وأسفرت عن استشهاد وإصابة عشرات الآلاف من الفلسطينيين، وتدمير مساحات واسعة من قطاع غزة، وإرغام أكثر من مليون فلسطيني على النزوح. مع استمرار المجازر، استخدمت الولايات المتحدة حق النقض في مجلس الأمن ضد قرارات وقف إطلاق النار، ما أدى إلى فشل المجلس في اتخاذ قرارات نافذة. اتخذت إدارة الرئيس الأمريكي جو بايدن موقفًا حازمًا ضد عملية "طوفان الأقصى" التي نفذتها حركة حماس في 7 أكتوبر 2023، واصفةً إياها بالإرهابية، وأكدت دعمها الكامل لإسرائيل وحقها في الدفاع عن نفسها، متعهدةً بتقديم كل العون اللازم. في خطاب ألقاه بايدن في 10 أكتوبر، شبه حماس بتنظيمي القاعدة والدولة الإسلامية ووصفها بالشر المطلق. أشاد بعلاقة الولايات المتحدة الوثيقة بإسرائيل، التي تمتد لأكثر من خمسين عامًا، بينما لم يتناول معاناة الفلسطينيين جراء العدوان الإسرائيلي على غزة، مؤكدًا أن حماس لا تمثل الدفاع عن حقوق الفلسطينيين في الكرامة وتقرير المصير. وقد أدت تداعيات السابع من أكتوبر إلى طرح قضيتين استراتيجيتين مترابطتين:1. مصير الوجود الإسرائيلي: إسرائيل كمشروع استعماري غربي أمريكي تواجه تحديات داخلية وخارجية تهدد استقرارها. 2. مصير الهيمنة الأمريكية في الشرق الأوسط: النفوذ الأمريكي العالمي في المنطقة مهدد في ظل تحول النظام العالمي نحو تعدد الأقطاب.

Sequestration and Right to Effective Appeal Under the OFL Normative Act
Authors: Cukaj Lirime , Pekmezi Iris , Miha Elsa
Published: January 2025

In Albania, the Council of Ministers adopted the OFL law in 2020 to strengthen the rule of law by enabling the sequestration and confiscation of assets from individuals suspected of serious crimes, including organized crime and terrorism. Although intended to complement existing laws like the Anti-Mafia law, the OFL law is characterized by its temporary nature and urgent enactment. Despite its survival of a constitutionality challenge affirmed by the Constitutional Court in 2022, criticisms persist regarding its infringement on constitutional rights such as the right to an effective appeal and equality before the law. The law allows for asset sequestration without the presence of the affected party and provides a formal right to appeal that lacks substantive judicial review, thereby raising concerns about the violation of property rights as per the Constitution of Albania. This article explores the implications of the OFL law on fundamental rights and legal processes.
The Role of the European Union and the Procedure of Conclusion of International Agreements After the Lisbon Treaty
Authors: Muskaj Blerina
Published: January 2025

The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) in Article 218 includes all the institutions involved in the legislative decision-making of the Union, the Court of Justice and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR). The article deals with all the different stages of the life of an international agreement – i.e. negotiations, signature, conclusion, some aspects of implementation, together with the suspension of treaty obligations undertaken by Europe. Article 218 TFEU sets out the general procedure that the European Union (EU) must follow when concluding international agreements with third countries and international organizations and will apply to all EU policies, while still maintaining an intergovernmental approach to the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). The EU's primary law, profoundly revised by the Treaty of Lisbon, reflects the EU's increasingly important and widespread activity as a treaty-maker. Article 218 TFEU makes an effort to promote and support a more transparent and democratic behavior of the EU's international relations, already providing important powers for the European Parliament in determining treaty instruments adopted by Europe.

This work analyzes the conditions that should completed by the heir unable to work, to be considered or not subject to Article 5,6 of the Convention. The reason for the selection of this topic, this topic was born following the decisions of the Strasbourg court in the incorrect application by the Albanian courts of Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights The research work is directed to the study of doctrine, legislation and analysis of case law for cases with the same object, where are identified about cases/decisions, the conclusions of which are discussed below. The first part focuses on the normative-legal regulation of the protection of the right to trial within a reasonable time in Albanian legislation. The second part gives a concise overview of the trial of the case within a reasonable time. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court, the procedural moments where the institute is selected, the evolution with the changes of the civil procedure code and the practical cases judged by this court. The third part deals with the comparative analysis between practical cases. Violation of the principle of trial within a period in the case of Laçej and others against Albania, request no. 22122/08 In the Zeqo and Seat SHPC case against Albania, requests no. 61445/12, the Mulla v. Albania case, request no. 72348/11, the Mulla v. Albania case, request no. 72348/11, etc. Conclusions Changes to the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) in 2017 brought important changes to increase citizens' access to justice, providing reasonable deadlines for trial and mandatory execution, this analyzes the practical implementation of the changes undertaken, within the reform in law, in connection with the Code of Civil Procedure In the framework of the Reform in Justice, the KPC provided that the reasonable time for the completion of the process for the civil trial at each of the three levels of trial (court of first instance, court of appeal and high ) is two years. However, the legal regulations are numerous and continue to be problematic for the review of the non-trial within a reasonable time, including the trial of the appeal in the Supreme Court, as well as the lack of effective means of appeal in this regard, ECHR. unjustifiable is also the violation of the principle of trial within a reasonable time, for the review of the non-execution of the final court decision, the violation of the effective means of appeal and the right to property in the procedural aspect, the ECHR assesses that the delay in the execution of the court's decision is unjustifiable and contradicts Article 6 of the ECHR.
The Challenges of Critical Thinking in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Kenedy Robert Aaron
Published: January 2025

I argue that critical thinking is based on active learning, engaged independent thinking, and examining all information including recently impactful ChatGPT and other AI sources. Thoughtfully questioning what is being learned as well as critically and creatively analyzing and evaluating information such as AI is necessary to gain a deeper understanding as an effective thinker. Critical thinking pedagogy should also promote “portability” and citizenship, including information-based online multimedia literacy such as AI, as well as employment and professional information. This means becoming a critical thinker inside and outside the classroom and take what is learned into our personal, public, and professional lives. The article begins with an examination of four discrepancies or issues related to critical thinking in higher education. The critical thinking literature and Kenedy’s Model of Cyclical Critical Thinking will then be considered. This will be followed by the discussion and summary regarding suggested guidelines for critically evaluating AI. Finally, conclusions regarding further work including pedagogical models for teaching critical thinking in the era of AI and other future work are considered.

Prediction of oxygen regime indicators in Danube river
Authors: Bezsonnyi V. L. , Tretyakov O. V. , Nekos A. N. , Chistov Ye. V.
Published: January 2025

Purpose. To identify the dynamics of the oxygen regime of the Danube River and to develop a model for forecasting the oxygen regime of the Danube based on the analysis of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and reaeration processes, taking into account the multifactorial influence of ecological, hydrological, and anthropogenic factors.

Methods. Statistical, the Streeter-Phelps mathematical model was applied.

Results. The study used long-term data from the state monitoring of water resources of the Danube River on indicators of dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). The research showed an overall improvement in the oxygen regime of the Danube River during the period 2004–2023. All observation points demonstrated a stable increase in DO levels, especially after 2020, which may indicate a reduction in organic pollution. Seasonal analysis revealed that DO levels increase in the cold period and decrease in the warm period due to heightened biological activity. The Streeter-Phelps model confirmed its ability to predict the dynamics of DO and BOD5 with acceptable accuracy, although discrepancies were observed in some years due to short-term fluctuations in organic loading.

Conclusions. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of using the Streeter-Phelps model to forecast the oxygen indicators of the Danube River. The forecast data can be used to assess the ecological state of the river, plan measures to improve water quality, and manage water resources. The developed recommendations will help minimize the risks of oxygen deficiency and support the preservation of ecological balance in the Danube River basin.

For the sustainable functioning of agroecosystems and sustainable food supply of the population, the task of ensuring the ecological safety of soils in the conditions of using intensive technologies for growing agricultural crops is relevant.

Purpose.To determine the impact of intensive cultivation of oil crops on agrochemical indicators and environmental indicators of chernozem soils in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine

Methods. Field, laboratory-analytical, atomic absorption spectrophotometry method, statistical.

Results. The impact of intensive cultivation of oil crops on the seasonal dynamics of the content of biogenic elements (N, P, K) in chernozem soils (using the example of typical chernozems) was determined. A significant decrease in the content of mobile forms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in chernozems typical of intensive cultivation of oil crops (sunflower and winter rapeseed) compared to winter wheat was established. It is noted that at higher levels of natural moisture, the intensity of nutrient removal increases for both oilseed crops and winter wheat. A significant increase in the concentrations of mobile forms of Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd in chernozem soils when growing oilseed crops was established in comparison with their background concentrations under natural meadows and pastures. When the crop rotation is saturated with winter rapeseed, Cd and Cu accumulate more in the soil, and when sunflower predominates, Pb and Zn. Under conditions of higher moisture, the concentrations of mobile forms of all studied metals in the soil increase. The approach of the average Cd concentrations over the observation period to the normative value indicates a possible danger of accumulation and contamination of soils of field crop rotations with this metal.

Conclusions. Growing oilseed crops using intensive technologies poses a threat of soil deterioration from two aspects: a decrease in biogenic elements in the soil and an increase in the risk of soil contamination with heavy metals, especially Cd.
Cities, Metro, and Gentrification

Published: January 2025

The construction and circulation of railways, especially urban rail transit, change the travel patterns of residents along the lines and provide convenience for residents in outer suburbs to enter the city center. At the same time, urban rail transit will likely have an impact on the social structure and types of residents in the area. This paper explores the urban gentrification caused by railways in mainland China, covering the old city renovation plan, demolition along the subway line, subway line terminus, and other perspectives. The findings show that with the development of urban rail transit, land prices in the area will increase and communities will become gentrified, which means possible crowding out of low-income citizens. This article intentionally explores the relationship between the subway and gentrification.

Published: January 2025

Significance. One of the major tasks of forming internal control and the audit of business entities in modern conditions is the timely detection of threats and risks of insolvency and the possibility of bankruptcy. This determines prizing constant control over the economic stability of the organization and its divisions. This area of control is especially relevant in corporate structures that unite a group of enterprises linked by a single production process for manufacturing complex science-intensive products, but keeping their independence. Currently, this area of internal control and audit is under development and is sparsely represented in scientific literature, methodological documents, and recommendations. Its role is becoming clear at all stages of the formation and improvement of production and management structures in holding-type organizations. The methodological basis of the study is fundamental scientific works of Russian and foreign specialists in the sustainable development of economic entities. Also, the research includes balanced systems of indicators for assessing the economic condition and efficiency of organizations taking into account their administrative and technical features, normative and methodological documents governing the organization of internal control and analysis systems (ICAS) in corporate structures, and the experience of their formation at leading enterprises in Russia and other countries. The holding structure, its participants’ activities, and its strategic and business model choices all reflect sustainable development considerations. Improving and developing control processes at all levels requires focusing on methodological materials for this control area. The study aims to confirm the importance of control in sustainable corporate development within the ICAS framework, exploring its links to other audit and control systems and pinpointing specific aspects at various management levels and development stages. Conclusions. The paper defines the significance and fundamental areas of internal control of the sustainability of corporate structures and their participants. The authors identified the major areas of internal corporate control and leading control points, as well as determined the methods and procedures of this area of control, emphasizing the role of each participant in the production process, ensuring its greatest potency and efficiency.

Os desastres hidrológicos tornaram-se um dos problemas graves enfrentados no Brasil, principalmente nos ambientes urbanos devido ao fenômeno da urbanização que se desenvolveu desordenadamente e de maneira excludente, alterando a cobertura do solo significativamente e levando uma parcela da população a ocupar áreas de várzea. As medidas não estruturais diante desse contexto, surgem como forma de atenuar a ocorrência desses desastres devido ao seu carácter preventivo. Sendo assim, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de identificar as áreas com risco de inundação na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Cachoeira (BHRC), localizada no sul da Bahia, por meio de um mapa de risco de inundação, desenvolvido em ambiente de Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). Para isso foram sobrepostos os mapas temáticos de suscetibilidade a inundação, frequência de precipitações extremas e vulnerabilidade social, que foram processados pelo software de geoprocessamento QGis (3.28). Os resultados que apontaram para 38,73% da área total da bacia, possui risco alta a inundação, e 0,16% risco muito alto, estando mais concentrados a jusante, onde se encontram os municípios de Itabuna e Ilhéus. Essas áreas são caracterizadas pela combinação de vários fatores, porém principalmente devido as baixas declividades, intensa urbanização, proximidade aos cursos d'água, intensidade pluviométrica e a vulnerabilidade social.
Palavra-chave: Inundação, Risco, Precipitação Extrema, Geoprocessamento.
GOING UKRAINE: A CASE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION IN PROSOCIAL STYLISTICS INTEGRATED TEACHING
Authors: Paliichuk Elina
Published: January 2025

This paper describes the practical linguistic and pedagogical experience of teaching stylistics for social purposes in Ukrainian (Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University) and French (Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, France) universities. It meets the challenges of integrating the social domain into linguistic and non-linguistics disciplines thanks to various cognitive structures verbalised through literary devices in media discourse. The social impact of teaching Stylistics is predetermined by the necessity of raising awareness of societal wartime issues in Ukraine and abroad. The case study refers to the project on preventing human trafficking implemented with the support of the CEFRES (French Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences) fellowship program for Ukrainian scholars. The methods of field observations, surveying in the educational process, and discussions on incorporating war-related topics into humanities with European colleagues were applied during the stay at EMMA (Études Montpelliéraines du Monde Anglophone). The results suggest an overview of the content and conceptual interoperability across linguistic and non-linguistic disciplines at Paul Valery Montpellier University 3 and an evaluation of potential cross-cultural pedagogical activities between the universities. The findings uncover insights into the methodological domain of using literary tools (metaphor, storytelling, schemata, and sensory language) to promote student sociolinguistic awareness through learning experiences.
