Nature-Inspired Bioactive Compounds: A Promising Approach for Ferroptosis-Linked Human Diseases?
Authors: El Hajj Sarah , Canabady-Rochelle Laetitia , Gaucher Caroline
Published: March 2023

Ferroptosis is a type of cell death driven by iron overload and lipid peroxidation. It is considered a key mechanism in the development of various diseases such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer, diabetes, cancer, and renal failure. The redox status of cells, such as the balance between intracellular oxidants (lipid peroxides, reactive oxygen species, free iron ions) and antioxidants (glutathione, glutathione Peroxidase 4), plays a major role in ferroptosis regulation and constitutes its principal biomarkers. Therefore, the induction and inhibition of ferroptosis are promising strategies for disease treatments such as cancer or neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, respectively. Many drugs have been developed to exert ferroptosis-inducing and/or inhibiting reactions, such as erastin and iron-chelating compounds, respectively. In addition, many natural bioactive compounds have significantly contributed to regulating ferroptosis and ferroptosis-induced oxidative stress. Natural bioactive compounds are largely abundant in food and plants and have been for a long time, inspiring the development of various low-toxic therapeutic drugs. Currently, functional bioactive peptides are widely reported for their antioxidant properties and application in human disease treatment. The scientific evidence from biochemical and in vitro tests of these peptides strongly supports the existence of a relationship between their antioxidant properties (such as iron chelation) and ferroptosis regulation. In this review, we answer questions concerning ferroptosis milestones, its importance in physiopathology mechanisms, and its downstream regulatory mechanisms. We also address ferroptosis regulatory natural compounds as well as provide promising thoughts about bioactive peptides.

Craniocerebral trauma is a significant medical and social problem affecting all demographic groups of the population, leading to persistent or temporary disability and even mortality. Fractures in mild TBI can lead to severe damage to the structures of the brain, which is manifested by the corresponding symptoms. Prognostic analyses of fractures of the skull in head injury of mild severity is needed to identify patients with an increased risk of residual impacts and to use resources more risk averse subgroup. A large-scale retrospective study of 2228 patients of both sexes and different age groups was conducted. Risk stratification of prognostic clinical signs determining the probability of intracranial lesions in patients with mild and moderate TBI was performed. When detecting fractures and their combination, prognostic criteria are: headache, loss of consciousness, alcohol intoxication, GCS, skull deformity, bleeding from the nose or ear, liquorrhea, dangerous injury mechanisms such as an accident, a dangerous fall as a fall on the back of the head or a fall above one’s height, work injury, fracture of the bones of the cranial vault (by CT), fracture of the skull base (by CT), epidural hematoma, foci of brain contusion, foci of SAC and depressed fracture.

Published: March 2023

The article presents morphometric MRI-analysis of the lumbar intervertebral foramen for anatomical study of the size of Kambin safety triangle and the vulnerability of the exiting spinal nerve during transforaminal interventions. 200 discs were studied in 50 patients after transforaminal endoscopic intervention. Standard DICOM image viewing program for MRI in T1 WI and T2 WI modes was used for the measurement. The most distant location of the exiting spinal nerve from the intervertebral disc was observed at the level of L5S1 vertebrae (9.82 mm, 0.95CI (9,53 10,10), p<0.05). The narrowest safety triangle turned out to be at the level of L2‑L5 vertebrae, where the distance did not differ statistically (1.97–2.28 mm, p> 0.05). A similar pattern was revealed for the distance between the exiting root and the intervertebral joint. The greatest angle between the exiting spinal nerve and the disc plane was found at the level of L5S1 (134.68 °, 0.95CI (132.39 136.97), p<0.001). The angle was close to a straight one at the other levels. The exiting root located dorsal to the disc plane at the cranial levels (L2L3, L3L4) in all cases, in contrast to L5S1 level, where it always located ventrally. Thus, the greatest narrowness of the Kambin safety triangle was revealed in the intervertebral foramen of the cranial lumbar segments (L2L3, L3L4). Transforaminal interventions require special attention to the exiting spinal nerve at these levels, and possibly additional bone resection to widen the foramen.
Anaplastic glioma diagnosis and its therapeutic significance
Authors:   FSBEI HE Privolzhsky Research Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Badu S.K.
Published: March 2023

Despite sufficient provision and active use of modern neuroimaging technologies, it is often too late to diagnose glioma. Clinical symptoms in anaplastic glioma appear within a period of 1-2 years and in glioblastoma - within less than a year. The use of new diagnostic equipment (multi-slice CT, high-angle MRI, and their varieties - MR spectroscopy, fMRI, diffusion tensor MRI, stereotactic diagnostics) allows identifying diseases that were previously detected only after autopsy. Despite the modern method of diagnosing a malignant brain tumor, its early diagnosis remains an urgent problem. At the same time, total removal of brain tumors is a difficult task for neurosurgeons. Thus, according to control CT and MRI of the brain, the radicality of resection reaches 40-50%. Practical application of modern neuroimaging technologies is being actively studied, but their use in HGG is still limited.

Published: March 2023

Relevance. The question of diagnosing tooth decay and, thus, determining treatment methods is still very topical. There is a large number of techniques available for the diagnosis of dental caries in modern dentistry.

Objective. The study aimed to compare different caries diagnosis methods to determine the most effective carious lesion detection.

Material and methods. We examined in total 45 subjects, 1248 permanent teeth and 5700 tooth surfaces. The dental examination included three diagnostic techniques for each patient: visual-tactile, ICDAS II and quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF). The data were processed and presented graphically using Statistica 12.0 (Stat-Soft) and Microsoft Office Excel 2017 software.

Results. According to the DMFS index, in the visual-tactile group, the "D" (decayed) was 3.00 ± 0.02 and the "F" (filled) was 1.93 ± 0.02. Caries intensity in this study group was 6.27 ± 0.58. The ICDAS II examination detected the average caries intensity of 6.93 ± 0.56 (p1-2 < 0.001). There were 3.47 ± 0.02 (p1-2 < 0.001) carious lesions. The "F" score was 2.13 ± 0.01 (p1-2 = 0.024). The QLF diagnostic method showed 7.44 ± 0.54 (p1-3 < 0.001, p2-3 = 0.006) as the mean intensity of caries in permanent teeth; there were 3.84 ± 0.02 (p1-3 < 0.001, p2-3 = 0.015) carious lesions and the "F" was 2.27 ± 0.01 (p1-3 = 0.018, p2-3 = 0.520). The "M" score was 0.27 ± 0.01 (p1-2 = 0.999, p1-3 = 0.999, p2-3 = 0.999), according to all applied techniques.

Conclusion. The QLF method had the highest sensitivity and was superior to the visual-tactile method and ICDAS II.

Authors: Shevchenko M. A. , Kiselnikova L. P. , Zueva T. E. , Juraeva N. I.
Published: March 2023

Relevance. Caries prevalence and intensity in permanent teeth of children are increasing with age. It is common knowledge that secondary caries causes 57% of restoration replacements in children. Studying the risk of secondary caries onset in the child's permanent teeth is relevant.

Purpose. To study the marginal fit of restorative material (composites and compomers) in per-manent teeth of children with different caries resistance degrees.

Materials and methods. One-hundred-and-three children (167 teeth) aged 6 to 15 y.o. had clinical and labora-tory examinations and treatment. All children had dentine caries of permanent teeth (K02.1) treated. The carious cavities were filled with compomer and composite materi-al. We clinically assessed the restorative marginal integrity in each patient based on the intensity of the carious process by G.Ryge (1998) and laser fluorescence 1 and 2 years after the filling of cavities.

Results. In children with average caries intensity and compomer restorations, the rate of resto-rations with secondary caries signs reached 72%, while the high caries intensity group demonstrated 32%. The group with average carious process intensity and composite restorations did not show any secondary caries signs; in the group with high carious process intensity, inadequate marginal integrity of restorations was in 41% of cases.

Conclusion. Compomers are recommended for caries treatment in permanent teeth of children with high carious process intensity, while composites are for children with average carious process intensity. Laser fluorescence allows for the identification of diagnostically reli-able data detecting the loss of a significant amount of restorative material to the level of dentin-enamel junction.

Los resultados de búsquedas muestran tres componentes principales: las causas que ocasionan el ciberplagio, las consecuencias que conlleva realizar estas prácticas deshonestas y, finalmente, las estrategias que, como los autores señalan, la comunidad universitaria debe seguir para contrarrestar estas malas prácticas.
Music industry of Ukraine during the war
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, Fedosenko Karina
Published: March 2023

The music industry consists of a number of components - the production of new products, their circulation in the media and the implementation of concert activities. Usually the process of producing musical products went through such stages as writing compositions, creating arrangements for them, performing at concerts and finally recording songs in studios. Subsequently, there was a tour, which could increase the ability to effectively implement the already finished musical product. As a result of the military events taking place in Ukraine, the modern domestic music industry, in which various forms of musical production and performing activities were presented, is currently in a state of significant transformational changes. As a result of active hostilities on the Ukrainian territory, there was a need to find new formats of implementation, first of all, concert activities. The representatives of Ukrainian show business have developed new strategies for promoting their performance. Firstly, the practice of holding concert events abroad with the participation of Ukrainian performers has spread. Events combining offline and online performances have also been introduced. There has been a practice of using such locations as the subway for concert activities, which, due to its characteristics, has an increased level of security in the event of the threat of artillery fire and missile strikes. Spontaneous open-air concerts, organized for charitable purposes, have also spread. The release of musical products continues, but the content of the musical content has acquired a more patriotic-tinged character and taken high positions in the charts, ratings, etc. The author states that some compositions have acquired the meaning of peculiar symbols of the struggle of the Ukrainian people for their independence. Their numerous performance versions, in which Ukrainian and Western musicians took part, have acquired the status of "viral". This was facilitated by the creative collaborations of foreign performers with Ukrainian musicians. The goal of creative cooperation was to show support for the Ukrainian people, express it in musical form. Such actions are extremely important, and various musicians have demonstrated solidarity with the Ukrainians. All these factors have a fleeting effect on the increase of interest in the Ukrainian cultural product, support of the music industry. At the same time, they perform the role of psychological support. Key words: music industry, music product, concert, rating, war, Ukraine.

Feminine aspect of the process of emancipation in the socio-cultural space of Ukraine during the period of independence
Authors:   Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music, Melnyk Tetiana
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the work is to investigate and characterize the state of the issue of emancipation in the feminine aspect in the socio-cultural space within the boundaries of Ukraine during the period of independence. Ukraine's independence became a kind of "bifurcation point", marking a critical state in politics, ideology, and culture with the subsequent transition to another level of order in all spheres, including in the aspect of emancipation processes in the socio-cultural field. The situation of "conditional beginning" was deliberately chosen as the starting point when determining the chronological limits of the study, because it opens up prospects to trace the dynamics of qualitative reconstructions and transformations in the socio-cultural being, actualizing gender identification processes in society. The study of the outlined topic involves the use of the following research methods: historical and artistic analysis (for examining an array of scientific sources, studies of predecessors — scientists engaged in researching the issues related to the topic of our investigations - to study the stage of the development of the chosen topic); method of systematization (for a comprehensive understanding of the artifacts created in different types, genres, presented on different media, visual media, literary sources); the method of theoretical generalization (for a concise summary of the processed material). Methods of assumption and analogy, classification and other empirical and theoretical research methods were used as supplementary ones. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that within the stated chronological period the author conducts a comprehensive exploration of the logic of changes in the understanding of feminine and masculine principles and the state of gender equality issues in Ukraine during the period of independence. In conclusion, the paper states that after gaining independence, the processes aimed at rejecting and condemning many aspects of the past, inspired by the European vector of the direction of the state's development, became widespread, which is also relevant for the present. They relate to aspects of gender equality, as well as the self-identification of a woman as a member of society and an active participant in socio-cultural processes. The statistics presented in the article indicate that, unfortunately, women are quite faced with oppression in various aspects, and also, they are the ones who still highlight this problem in the visual arts, realizing the desire to change the dichotomy "object-subject" in the aspect of female physicality . Positive developments in this field are characterized by changes in the language aspect, namely the appearance of feminitive and gender-tolerant vocabulary, as well as the spread of various art projects dedicated to this topic, described in the text of the study.
Legends in P. Kulish's Historical Novel “Black Council. Chronicle of 1663”
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Terekhova Iryna
Published: March 2023

The article examines legends are functioning in the Russian-language novel by P. Kulish “Black Council. Chronicle of 1663”. The features of the genre have been determined. It is proved that folk legends emphasize the artistic action of the text in question, give it a touch of mythology. It was found that the legends in the Russian-language novel by P. Kulish “Black Council. Chronicle of 1663” appear in the form of artistic inclusions, which in turn emphasize the historical meaning of the work. The synthetic unity of legend and historical narrative emphasizes the content of the novel, gives it signs of metatextuality. Artistic inclusions of legends in the “Black Council. Chronicle of 1663” presents the author's vision of history. The proposed study examines mythological, apocryphal and historical-heroic legends using the example of a little-known historical work of the author. Mythological legends arose earlier than other types of legends. They were based mainly on pagan traditions, which eventually got lost and left the remnants of ancient ideological thinking. Mythological legends are represented in the Russian-language novel “Black Council” by the stories about the mysterious people of the "dancer", the legend about the fabulous betrothed Lesya and the legend about the Cossack character. The novel by P. Kulish also represents apocryphal legends, the content of which is marked by the reproduction of characters and events from the sacred history, devoid of signs of canonicity. Apocryphal legends in the work under consideration is the legends about Archbishop John and the devil. It also contains a legend that combines the features of both apocryphal and mythological legends – a narrative about the origin of the “Cossack sun”. In the text “Black Council. Chronicles of 1663” by P. Kulish, there is also a historical and heroic legend, which is characterized by a more realistic reproduction of events. An example of a historical and heroic legend in the novel is the legend “Khmelnitsky and Barabash”. Its plot is well known. It coincides with the plot of the folklore Duma of the same name. However, in the interpretation of Kulish, the emphasis is mainly put on such artistic details as Barabash's ring. The proposed article proves that folk legends are informative material for studying of the past, P. Kulish's worldview beliefs, and his reproduction of the historical process.

Language Stability as the Identification of the Language Attitude (on the Survey Data)
Authors:   O. O. Potebnia Institute of Linguistics of the National Academy of Scciences of Ukraine, Muzyka Mariia
Published: March 2023

This article deals with the problem of language attitude investigation. For this purpose, we tried to analyze the relation between language stability and language attitude how these phenomena interreact and how the knowledge of language stability can reflect the language attitudes. The scientific researches prove that the knowledge of the language attitude allows to evaluate not only loyal attitude (favor) to the language but also its functional value. In such conditions, language attitude shows the symbol role of language as a value of national identity, symbol of authentication, bridge to the past history of the nation, as well as, the means of the goal achievement and self-development. Considering the investigations of scientists from west countries, we understand language attitude as both positive or negative evaluation to any object and as an accumulated knowledge which in general helps to estimate the language stability, which is one of the characteristics of the language behavior and is reflected during the language activity processes. The motives of usage one language instead of the other in the bilingual’s situation is one of the subjects of the language attitude investigation in Ukrainian sociolinguistics. We conducted the survey which helped to describe the Ukrainian youth’s language attitude now and build the perspective of the language situation development in the future. For Ukrainian-speaking young people, language is the highest national value, a guide for identification, which demonstrates the promotion of the integrative language attitude. In this case language is a value, and not just to express their own thoughts, but a tool for professional and social growth. According to opinions of the Ukrainian-speaking youth it is essential to keep the prestige of the language and the assertion of its state status. Whilst Russian-speaking youth use the language as a tool that helps to communicate, which shows the benefits of instrumental language attitude, where language is a means to achieve communicative goals and professional growth. The results of our investigation show that language attitude among Ukrainian youth, who participated in the survey has instrumental and integrative meaning, which confirms that the language is not only the means of language activities but also a value, a tool for self-expression and identification. Our study is an attempt to outline the trends prevailing among young people in Ukraine and to explore how the language stability of the speaker can reveal their language attitude and how the latter affects the language behavior of the participant in the communicative process. The prospect of further research is the analysis of the language situation in Ukraine and a comprehensive study of the language attitude in the Ukrainian youth environment.
Binary Opposition Land-Water in the Fairy Tale “Cocobolo” by R. Riggs
Authors:   National Technical University of Ukraine «Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute», Aleksenko Vitaliia
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the symbolism of the manifestation of two antagonistic elements (water and land) in the fairy tale “Cocobolo” by R. Riggs, which are the key concepts of the work. The writer not only uses general symbolic meanings, but also complements them with additional authorial connotations. In R. Riggs' tale, land symbolizes order, pragmatism, rationality, and water symbolizes spontaneity, danger, and irrationality. The dichotomy of water and land contains a clear archetypal component, so the author justifiably turns to psychoanalysis which provides additional opportunities to decode the implicit meanings of the tale. So, the sea represents the unconscious leaving the shore symbolizes a break with the family the island embodies consciousness and will, and so on. Thus, the details of the chronotope (the main character Zheng lives at the seaside) gradually acquire richer associative connections and symbolic meanings. The fairy tale is also full of other symbols that are on the border of the elements of water and land (shore, island, sand, algae). The sand is one of the dominant images of the work. It symbolizes not only time and plurality (conventional symbolism), but also destruction and elimination. Zheng's reluctance to accept his true nature, his attempts to escape from himself are metaphorically realized by the author as metamorphoses that occur with the body of the hero and deprive him of human form ‒ sand began to pour from Zheng’s skin. The plot of the tale is based on the fact that Zheng must find his own father and fulfill the oath he once gave him. Last words of his father turn out to be symbolic: “Don’t let grass grow under your feet!” They become polysemantic in the context of the fairy tale. They can be interpreted in three ways. The first literal meaning implies not to stay in the same place, to travel, to look for something. The second meaning which results from that is to use your possibilities, not to postpone. Finally, the third meaning is the author’s one: a person turns into a monster staying at the same place, not accepting oneself. To find himself, Zheng must leave the land and go into the sea. The hero of the fairy tale Zheng must choose between these two elements, which becomes a stage of initiation and an existential choice for him. The final choice is to find and accept his true nature. Only after completely losing his human shape and turning into an island does he find inner peace. Having become an island, he turns into a land that can only exist in water. This is the harmony of the two elements. Only by reconciling water and land does peace come to Zheng's own soul.

In this study, a novel hybrid algorithm consisting of the least mean square and backpropagation neural network is proposed to auto-adjust adaptive proportional integral derivative (PID) controller gains for improving the transient response of linear systems. The hybrid approach comprises the scheme of the two algorithms running in parallel and updates PID gains simultaneously. All algorithms are implemented on the same linear system and present a general framework for different scenarios such as initial PID gains, learning rates, and target functions. The results show that the presented hybrid algorithm has better accuracy, precision, F1-score, adaptability, and robustness than origin algorithms, and significantly improves the controllability in most of the system scenarios. It also exhibits better performance in periodic incremental and decremental targets compared to origin algorithms. Different hybridization levels are also simulated and are highlighted as significant features of their performance. This work can be expanded to the combination of other well-known algorithms, paving the way to significant improvements in control system applications.
Vajda’s Identities for Dual Fibonacci and Dual Lucas Sedenions
Authors: ÜNAL Zafer
Published: March 2023

Fibonacci and Lucas numbers have been the most popular integer sequences since they were defined. These integer sequences have many uses, from nature to computer science, from art to financial analysis. Many researchers have worked on this subject. Sedenions form a 16-dimensional algebra on the field of real numbers. Various systems can be constructed by using the terms of special integer sequences instead of terms in sedenions. In this study, we define dual Fibonacci (DFS) and dual Lucas sedenions (DLS) with the help of Fibonacci and Lucas termed sedenions. Then we calculate some special identities for DFS and DLS such as Vajda's, Catalan's, d'Ocagne's, Cassini's.

Just as the Pallavar period is said to be the period of devotional literature and the medieval Chola period is said to be the period of preservation, so the period of Nayak who ruled Tamil Nadu from 1350 AD can be said to be the period of minor literature. Pallu, Ula, Thootu, Kalambagam, Pillaitamil etc. are minor literary works that are written to entertain the rich people and kings. There are 96 types of minor literary work called Prabandhams. In the book Sathuragarathi written by Veeramamunivar, mentions 96 types of Prabandhams. Pillai Thamizh ia also known as Pilliakavi, Pillaipaatu, and Seithamil. Some of these Pillai Thamizh books have been composed with changes in the structural and cultural elements. Thus, the article examines the overall changes that took place in Divya Iratchakar’s Pillai Thamizh.

The objective of this research study is to investigate the impact of corporate governance attributes and profitability on corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) among listed non-financial firms in Pakistan. The current study gathered data from the published annual reports of the 66 non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from 2013 to 2016. The study employed a fixed effect model or a random effect model for data analysis, along with some pre-requisite diagnostic tests. The results of the study demonstrate the following outcomes: First, the board size, managerial ownership, and return on assets are positively linked with corporate social responsibility disclosure; second, return on equity shows a significant negative relationship with corporate social responsibility disclosure. Importantly, this study suggests that corporate governance attributes and firm profitability are the most significant components in improving corporate social responsibility disclosure. The research study has some important implications for academicians, auditors, and policymakers in improving corporate social responsibility reporting disclosure.

The corporate social responsibility (CS_R) is considered a key factor in the realm of finance and is regarded as an important aspect of investment decision-making. This research aims to look into the impact of the environmental dimension of CS_R disclosure on firm financial performance (F-P) in the Banking sector of Pakistan. This study utilizes secondary quantitative data gathered from published annual reports of publicly traded banks and the official website of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from 2010 to 2020. The study applied the fixed effect model (F-E-M) or a random effect model (R-E-M) for analysis purposes, along with some pre-requisite diagnostic tests. The independent variable of the study is the environmental dimension of CS_R, while the dependent variable of the study is firm F-P proxied by return on assets (R-O-A) and return on equity (R-O-E) respectively. Control factors such as business size and debt ratio were also employed in the study. The outcome of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between environmental CS_R and F-P in Pakistan's banking industry. This particular research assists companies in understanding the significance of CS_R disclosure in improving the financial performance of the banking industry. The study's conclusions should have practical applications for firms, governments, financial advisors, and Pakistan's banking industry.
