Increasing the transit attractiveness of Ukrainian marine ports
Authors: BIELASHOV Yevhenii
Published: July 2022

Introduction. Structural disproportions of the national economy of Ukraine cause a high level of dependency on goods export, which is mainly done through marine ports. Considering a high level of wear of fixed assets in the port infrastructure, there is a need for attracting additional financial resources for conducting modernization programs. This is proposed to achieve by intensifying transit shipping. Analysis of recent research and publications shows great relevance of the transit goods shipping subject as well as their role in generating greater cashflow for ports. The aim of the article is to develop proposals for attracting capital investment towards port infrastructure, while the the source of their financing is suggested to come from an increase of goods transit through Ukrainian ports. Мethods. The object of this article is to study marine ports of Ukraine and the state of sea transit shipping. Results. An analysis of the current state of transit goods shipping through Ukrainian marine ports is carried from both quantitive and qualitative aspects. Main problems undermining the utilization of the marine transport potential are determined. Proposals are given for increasing the volume of transit goods shipping. Conclusions. Ukrainian marine ports boast considerable underutilized potential for servicing additional volumes of transit freight. An effective employment of this potential will lead to an increase of ports profitability which, in turn, will open new possibilities for financing modernization programs and renewing fixed assets.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this retrospective, single-institution study was to evaluate radiological and clinical outcomes of patients managed with repeat stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for residual cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) after prior SRS.

METHODS

The authors evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of consecutive patients treated with repeat single-session SRS for a residual brain AVM from 1989 to 2021.

RESULTS

In total, 170 patients underwent repeat SRS for AVM (90 [52.9%] females; median [interquartile range] age at the first SRS procedure 28 [21.5] years; median [interquartile range] age at the second SRS procedure 32 [22.5] years). After repeat SRS, the actuarial 3-, 5-, and 10-year AVM obliteration rates were 37.6%, 57.3%, and 80.9%, respectively. Higher obliteration rates were associated with margin dose ≥ 19 Gy (p = 0.001). After the second SRS procedure, hemorrhage occurred in 8.2% of patients and was lethal in 1 patient. The risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage were age < 18 years (p = 0.03) and residual AVM diameter > 20 mm (p = 0.004). Lower obliteration rates were noted in patients with residual AVM diameter > 20 mm (p = 0.04) and those < 18 years of age (p = 0.04). Asymptomatic, symptomatic, and permanent radiation-induced changes (RICs) after the second SRS procedure occurred in 25.9%, 8.8%, and 5.3% of patients, respectively, and were associated with RIC after the first SRS procedure (p = 0.006). There was 1 case of a radiation-induced meningioma 12 years after SRS.

CONCLUSIONS

Repeat SRS is a reasonable therapeutic option, in particular for patients with residual AVM. Repeat SRS was associated with more favorable outcomes in adult patients and those with residual AVM smaller than 20 mm in maximum diameter. To increase the rate of residual AVM obliteration, a prescription dose ≥ 19 Gy should ideally be used for repeat SRS.

Authors: Yadav Saroj , Acharya Santosh , Thapa Astha , Hirday Aditya , Dahal Agnimshwor
Published: July 2022

Tubercular meningitis is a devastating presentation of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, with fatality in each case without treatment. A 39 years male, a regular consumer of alcohol and a known case of major depressive disorder, presented with the alleged history of using an electric heater in a closed room, and presented to emergency with unconsciousness and cardiac arrest. As his neurological status didn’t improve over 72 hrs, a magnetic resonance imaging brain was done which was non-conclusive. Electroencephalogram revealed diffuse right fronto-parietal seizure activity ceasing with midazolam injection, hence levetiracetam was started. Lumbar puncture revealed increased adenosine deaminase and nil white blood cells. Repeat lumbar puncture showed lymphocytic–predominant pleocytosis, elevated protein and low glucose. The patient was started on anti-tubercular therapy and an injection of dexamethasone was added. Repeat electroencephalogram didn’t show any seizure-like activity. It is important to be aware of variety of presentations of tubercular meningitis. Delay in treatment leads to irreversible neurological damage and even death.
Delayed Diagnosis of Pemphigus Vulgaris Initially Presenting as an Oral Ulcer: A Case Report
Authors: Lamichhane Ramesh , Chaudhary Saroj
Published: July 2022

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering disease clinically presenting as vesicles, bullae, and erosion and histologically characterized by suprabasal split and acantholysis. It usually affects mucous membranes and skin. Recurrent oral ulcers can only be the clinical manifestation before progressing into skin lesions. This can lead to the delayed diagnosis of this disease. Here we report a case of pemphigus vulgaris which was diagnosed after years of suffering from an oral ulcer that eventually progressed to widespread skin blistering and ulceration. The patient was treated with oral prednisolone which showed improvement within a week. Physicians should consider the differential diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris in patients presenting with a recurrent oral ulcer.

Hemodialysis is one of the treatment modalities for advanced kidney disease and can help an individual live an active life despite failing kidneys. Although it improves the quality of life, it is not completely risk-free. It has several complications, among which, thrombus formation is common. We report a case of a 63-year-old man who presented at our institution for regular hemodialysis with recurrent arteriovenous graft failure. Because doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure that can identify a thrombus in a vein, it is the best initial option for patients with internal jugular vein thrombosis. The use of ultrasound not only can guide a catheter pathway but can also help in early diagnosis and prevent complications following catheterization in a vein with a thrombus.
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy‐related Inflammation: American Society of Neuroradiology 2020 Case of the Year
Authors: Kadam G.H. , Supple S. , Jhaveri M.D.
Published: July 2022

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy‐related inflammation (CAARI) presents as a syndrome of acute/subacute encephalopathy. Currently, the underlying etiopathogenesis of this entity is not well established, though the amyloid deposits and resulting perivascular inflammation and cellular infiltrate are said to be the underlying cause. A definitive diagnosis of CAARI may require brain biopsy, which is not often clinically feasible in every case. Furthermore, CAARI does not affect the parenchyma uniformly, and biopsy could be falsely negative at times. When present, the combination of helpful imaging findings and a high index of suspicion may help avoid the morbidity associated with invasive brain biopsy and establish a timely diagnosis. This article describes one of the commonly encountered imaging and clinical presentations of CAARI.

Published: July 2022

The orbit is predisposed to a wide range of possible pathologic processes due to a complex histologic and anatomic composition within a confined space. The clinical presentation of orbital pathology is often nonspecific, particularly in young children, making radiologic evaluation an
important step in the diagnosis. Additionally, while suspected ophthalmologic pathology may be the primary purpose for an imaging study, incidental lesions encompassing a broad range of infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, and congenital processes are not uncommonly encountered and may serve
as important clues to alert the radiologist and clinical team to evaluate other associated pathology. High-resolution MR imaging is the examination of choice for detailed evaluation of orbital and ocular soft tissues, and this article will review characteristic MR imaging features and the
clinical significance of various ophthalmologic pathologies in the pediatric population, while highlighting pearls essential to making accurate imaging diagnoses.Learning Objective: To recognize the imaging appearance of pediatric orbital disease from major pathologic categories and describe
common imaging features

Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to show the regional features of the formation and development of the infrastructure to support small businesses in the Kemerovo region in the post-Soviet period. Objectives: to identify the reasons for the lag in the development of small business in the region; assess the role of various small business support organizations; to analyze other factors that influenced the development of infrastructure to support small businesses. The object of the study is infrastructural support for small businesses in the Kemerovo region in the post-Soviet period. Territorial framework — Kemerovo region. The main research method is comparative-historical. The main researchers involved in this issue: Kislyuk M.B., Surnin V.S., Novoseltsev N.R. The main reasons for the lag in the development of small business are the underdevelopment of infrastructure support; the authorities could not solve these problems in the 1990s. The Kuzbass Chamber of Commerce and Industry played a special role in supporting small business. Especially in the 1990s. The number of members gradually increased. Other bodies were also created to help entrepreneurs: the Kuzbass Technopark, a business incubator, and municipal funds to support small businesses. Also, laws and regulations were important both at the federal and regional levels.
CLASSIFICATION OF INTERTEXTUAL CONNECTIONS OF WORKS OF FINE ART RELATIVE TO THE STATUS OF THE ARTISTIC IMAGE
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Zhigaeva A.A. , Zhigaev I.G. ,   Krasnoyarsk Art Museum named after V. I. Surikov
Published: July 2022

Researchers of artistic works of art use mainly theoretical and empirical research methods, as well as conceptual provisions of the theory of fine art. These methods are used in comparative historical, formal, iconographic and structural analyses. In addition to these methods, another approach to the study of both individual works of art and the history of art as a whole is proposed. The article describes one of the main methods used by artists of various eras, but most vividly in modern art, in modernism, post- and metamodernism - is quoting, which the authors of the article define as intertextual links between works of art. The concept of intertextuality is more developed in literary studies and linguistics, but since a work of fine art is also a text, the use of this concept is applicable to it. The formalization of intertextual connections of works of art is necessary in order to theorize one of the important theoretical methods of studying a literary text — intertextual analysis. To simplify the work of researchers, various types of intertextual connections were classified according to the statuses of the artistic image of the theory of fine art by V. I. Zhukovsky. This classification will help researchers of the artistic image in the analysis of works of art to distinguish intertextual analysis into a separate stage of research. In addition, this classification can be used as the basis for the principle of studying the history of art, especially the art of modernism, postmodernism and metamodernism, as opposed to the generally accepted chronological system of constructing the history of art.

Published: July 2022

The transformation of the subjects of the Russian Federation began with the territorial division of the country in regional policy. The Federal Constitutional Law of 2001 obliged to observe the procedure before the start of the unification of subjects, in order to achieve a positive result in such a complex process. The article analyzes the reasons for the unification of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) and Evenki Autonomous districts. A set of measures aimed at the implementation of the formation of a new subject of the Russian Federation is being considered. The problems faced by the Krasnoyarsk Territory and autonomous okrugs during the unification period are revealed and the role of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the unification process is reflected. The significance of the political figures of the Krasnoyarsk Territory who took part in the creation of a new subject of the Russian Federation is reflected. In addition, the highest authorities – the President of the Russian Federation and the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation - were also involved in the unification process.
SOCIOCULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES OF KRASNOYARSK MUSEUMS AS SPACES OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Ivanova L.S. , Kistova A.V. ,   Siberian Federal University
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to a sociological study of the possibilities of Krasnoyarsk museums to act as spaces of intercultural communication for people of different nationalities, including those with migration experience. The Krasnoyarsk Territory has historically evolved as a multinational and multicultural region. Today, representatives of more than 150 nationalities live on its territory, each of which has a unique set of values, traditions and norms that determine the interaction of man with the environment. At the same time, the attitude to a particular object or process is formed by comparing accepted and already learned norms, traditions, phenomena, personal assessment of acceptability and degree of significance for a person. In this case, subjectivity cannot be avoided. To form an objective opinion regarding the cultural characteristics of the host region, the participation of specialists and institutions that act as mediators of intercultural interaction is necessary. Museums that recognize the value of diversity, help build the right interaction with cultural heritage and help overcome inertia in the ways of understanding sociocultural processes can act as such intermediaries. As a result of a sociological study, 106 people aged 17 to 49 of different nationalities were interviewed in order to identify their interest in the museum life of Krasnoyarsk, cultural preferences and desires for possible events in museums. The relevance of this study is due to the practical significance and value of the results obtained for further improvement and development of intercultural interaction processes based on the museums of Krasnoyarsk.

Modification of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Gene Induces Differentiation of Adipose-derived Stem Cells into Chondrocytes
Authors: Jiang Xiaowei
Published: July 2022

The researchers aimed to assess the effects of modification by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) gene on the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) into chondrocytes. Rat ADSCs were divided into normal, control and experiment groups. Experiment and control groups were transfected with pcDNA3.1-IGF-1 and pcDNA3.1- IGF-1-NC, respectively. Their osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation capacities were determined using alizarin red staining, oil red O staining and toluidine blue staining, respectively. The expressions of type I collagen (ColI) and ColII were detected by immunofluorescence assay, and the protein expressions of ColI, ColII and IGF-1 were measured by Western blotting. Compared with the normal group, the experiment group had significantly enhanced osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation capacities and increased protein expressions of ColI, ColII and IGF-1 (P<0.05), whereas normal and control groups had similar results (P>0.05). Modification by IGF-1 gene obviously contributes to the differentiation of rats ADSCs into chondrocytes.

Authors: Wu Yujie
Published: July 2022

This paper compared the changes of bone metabolic markers (BTM) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with or without diabetic kidney disease (DKD). 204 T2DM patients were divided into 4 groups, such that group 1 had no albuminuria, group 2 had microalbuminuria, group 3 with macroalbuminuria, and group 4 with DKD according to urine albumin and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and levels of serum creatinine (SCR). The ACR, SCR, uric acid (UA), osteocalcin (OC), procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae 1-4 (BMDLV) in DKD were considerably higher than those who were non-DKD (P<0.05). When there is no DKD in diabetes, ACR detection is the most sensitive and specific. When it comes to DKD, the SCR is the most sensitive, and PINP specificity is greater than CTX, but the sensitivity is lower. DKD is a major contributor to osteoporosis risk.

Toddler period is an important phase in the growth and development of children. The role of parents, especially mothers, is needed to help children develop motor skills so that children's development can be maximized. The objective of this study is to analyze the mother's role in stimulating the child's motor development. The research method is cross sectional. The population in this study were mothers who had children aged 1-3 years in the work area of the Mangasa Primary Health Center, Makassar, amounting to 45 people. The sample in this study was 45 people, taken with a saturated sampling technique or the total population. The statistical test used the chi square test. The results presented that 95.7% of mothers who played a role in stimulating children's motor development had children whose development was appropriate. The results of the chi square test obtained p value <0.001. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between mother's role in stimulation and the motor development of toddler. It is expected that the Primary Health Center or midwives will provide training to mothers about providing developmental stimulation so that mothers can independently assess their child's development and pay attention to their child's development according to age.

Authors: Zakaria Rabia , Astuti Siti Choirul Dwi
Published: July 2022

Breast milk is the best nutrient to reduce the pain in nursing mothers and death in infants. However, for nursing mothers, too little milk volume is the cause of problems occurring during the breastfeeding process. Thus, mothers who breastfeed should consume foods that can increase the breast milk volume. One food frequently consumed by mothers to increase breast milk is honey. In fact, natural honey is challenging to discover, and the price is also high which makes it as an obstacle. A more economical alternative is required, one of which is black cumin. It is easy to obtain and the price is also affordable. Black cumin also contains galactagogue to increase prolactin that influences breast milk production. The objective of this study is to identify the effect of black cumin on the volume of breast milk. The study was a randomized controlled trial involving 60 breastfeeding mothers divided into intervention groups and control groups. The intervention group was provided 15 grams of black cumin brewed with 1000C boiling water as much as 200 ml, and the control group was assigned 15 grams of pure honey brewed boiling 1000C as much as 200 ml. Intervention and control were administered on the second day to the day of completion after giving birth. They were measuring instruments which accustomed to measure breast milk pumps. Bivariate analysis employing the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests presented a significant difference between the volume of breast milk (p = 0.001) of the control and intervention groups. This study recommends the application of black cumin as a strategy to increase the volume of breast milk in nursing mothers.

Published: July 2022

Spiritual activity is used to be associated with better mental health, particularly in the face of stress. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous new regulations, including quarantine, restrictions on mobility, and physical distancing, triggered stress throughout society. The objective of the study is to explore the relationship of spiritual activities at each level of depression in Indonesia in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic (2-4 May 2020). The cross-sectional research was administered online in 34 provinces in Indonesia, involving 2189 respondents aged 15 years old and over and social media users. The researchers employed a structured questionnaire to examine demographic characteristics and coping activities and measured depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Multivariate results presented that the spiritual activities are able to decrease the risk of depression at every depression level (mild, moderate, and severe) after being controlled by gender and marital status. The values for each level, which are mild, moderate, and severe, were OR=0.332 (95% CI 0.19-0.60; p-value=0.000), OR=0.198 (95% CI 0.09-0.43; p-value=0.000), and OR=0.234 (95% CI 0.08-0.64; p-value=0.005), respectively. Good spiritual activities during an infectious disease outbreak are efficient to support some individuals in reducing the risk of depression, particularly in Indonesia.

The method of the research of glass samples with the orientation of the widerside of the cross-section of the sample, in contrastto the different research methods based on thevertical orientation of the wider side of the crosssection of the sample. The main physical and mechanical characteristics of ordinary sheet glass when tested for bending, and the bending strength itself is determined. Statistical analysis of theobtained results was performed using the twoparametric Weibull distribution.The object of the study was to determine the strength characteristics, which by standard methods complicates the process of making standard samples and leads to a large welcome material. For the research, the optimal technologies of manufacturing and consumption of materials of research samples were developed.The method of studying the strength of glass at three-point bends was used, and to determine the modulus of elasticity used methods to determine its relative deformations using strain gauges and deflections. The statistical method for estimating strength was the two parametric Weibulldistribution.The result confirms the feasibility of using the recommended approach for the manufacture and testing of test specimens to determine their strength, which is an additional reduction in costs as a material. The use of the Weibull statisticaldistribution allowed the characteristic values of strength that developed for individual series of samples with sufficient accuracy.The study confirmed the feasibility of further research on the stability of flat glass elements and the use of accurate methods for determining the modulus of elasticity of glass. The result of the evaluation of the influence of the orientation of the samples on the experimental stand and the influence of the flat form of deformation of the value of strength and modulus of elasticity in vertically oriented samples is obtained.
