Authors: Є. Х. Заремба  , О. В. Заремба-Федчишин  , М. І. Прокоса
Published: December 2020

The objective: is to assess the efficiency of metabolic therapy on blood pressure indicators based on the results of daily blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients.Materials and methods. The results of daily blood pressure monitoring in patients with stage II hypertension of 2–3 degrees are presented. 50 patients (including 28 men and 22 women) were examined. The mean age of patients was 44.6±10.9 years. Hypertensive patients received basic combination antihypertensive therapy with individually selected doses of ramipril / amlodipine in combination with metabolic therapy with0.5 g of quercetin. Сorvitin dissolved in 50 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution intravenously / 2 times a day after 12 hours during 5 days; during next 30 days of outpatient treatment patients received 40 mg of quercetin orally 3 times a day. All patients underwent daily blood pressure monitoring using HEACO ABPM 50 device.Results. The use of combined antihypertensive and metabolic therapy contributes to the normalization of blood pressure during the day, allows achieving target blood pressure levels in most patients which is manifested by the improvement of the daily blood pressure profile based on the results of the daily blood pressure monitoring.Conclusion. The use of quercetin (corvitin, quartin) in complex therapy with the use of combination antihypertensive drug ramipril / amlodipine reveals an additional antihypertensive effect which can be successfully used in the treatment of hypertensive patients.

Published: December 2020

Cerebrovascular pathology and metabolic disorders are problems of modern health care, which are of colossal medical and social significance. A high percentage of not only mortality, but also disability determines the extreme urgency of studying their various aspects, and the presence of combined pathology requires the development of a personalized approach to the tactics of managing such patients.The objective: was to determine sex and age differences in the structural and functional state of the vessels of the carotid and vertebro-basilar basins in patients with stage I–III cerebral atherosclerosis (CA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Materials and methods. A comprehensive clinical and instrumental study involved 229 patients with stageI–IIICA and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patients were divided into 2 groups: I – the general group of patients who had an ischemic atherothrombotic stroke in the middle cerebral artery basin – CA III; II – with CA I–II stages. All patients underwent conventional clinical, laboratory and instrumental studies (Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck – study of cerebral blood flow in the extra- and intracranial sections of the main arteries of the head and neck using the Aplio XG device (Toshiba).Results. In patients of group I, there were no age or sex differences in the linear systolic blood flow velocity (LSBFV) of the vessels of the carotid and vertebro-basilar basins. In group II patients over 60 years of age, the LSBFV in both internal carotid arteries was statistically significantly higher than in middle-aged patients, while the LSBFV in the left vertebral, posterior cerebral arteries and the basilar artery was statistically significantly higher in middle-aged patients than in the elderly. In our opinion, these differences can be explained by statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose levels. It is important to note that statistically significant sex differences were found only for LSBFV in both common carotid arteries: in women with CA stages I-II, the rate of cerebral blood flow was higher than in men.Conclusions. For patients with stage III CA and T2DM, age and sex differences in the parameters of cerebral circulation both in the vessels of the carotid and in the vessels of the vertebro-basilar basins have not been established. Elderly patients with stage I–II CA and T2DM, in comparison with middle-aged patients, are characterized by a statistically significantly higher LSBFV in the vessels of the carotid basin and lower in the vessels of the vertebro-basilar basin. The rate of cerebral blood flow in female patients with stage I–II CA and diabetes mellitus is statistically significantly higher in both common carotid arteries, in contrast to the corresponding LSBFV indicators in male patients.
Experience of Using a Combined Expectorant in Community-acquired Pneumonia in Preschool Children
Authors: Ю. В. Марушко  , Т. В. Гищак
Published: December 2020

Acute pneumonia in preschool children often requires the use of combined drugs that affect cough. One of them is a combination of bromhexine, guaifenesin and salbutamol, which has proven itself in school-age children and adults. However, there is insufficient data on the use of such combination in children.The objective: of our observation was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Askoril Expectorant therapy in children 2–7 years with acute community-acquired pneumonia.Materials and methods. We have summarized the experience of treatment of 30 children aged 2–7 years, suffering from community-acquired pneumonia of moderate severity. Ascoril Expectorant was added to antibiotic therapy for 9–12 days. The general condition of patients, severity of cough, shortness of breath, sputum secretion, monitoring of side effects, heart rate, systolic and diastolic pressure were measured. Tolerability of the drug was studied according to clinical observations and using a ten-point visual-analog scale.Results. All children before treatment had difficulty coughing up sputum. By the 2-3rd day of treatment, the cough became moist. Symptoms of nocturnal cough disappeared on the 5th–6th day of treatment, daytime – significantly decreased by the 6th–7th day of observation. Clinical signs of focal changes in the lungs persisted in all patients on 3–5 days of combination therapy and were absent in most patients within 10 days of treatment. On the third day of treatment the intensity of cough decreased from 2.53 to 1.07 points (p<0.001). On the fifth day of treatment the intensity of cough decreased by 2.9 times compared with the data at the beginning of therapy, on the tenth day – by 5.9 times. Good tolerability (8–10 points) was observed in 43.3 % of children, in others – satisfactory. No child had poor tolerability.Conclusions. The inclusion in the complex treatment of patients with community-acquired pneumonia of the combined mucoactive drug Askoril Expectorant leads to rapid relief of the disease and the achievement of an effective mucoregulatory effect with good tolerability of the drug.

The article presents the results of the review and evaluation of the dynamics of economic effects from business financial policies based on the developed scientific methodological approach. A comprehensive assessment of the economic performance dynamics as an outcome of financial policy has been carried out according to the sustainability and turnover criteria for selected enterprises: SE «Antonov», LLC «Kyivaeroproekt», SE «Konotop Aircraft Repair Plant «Aviacon», SE «Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant», SE «Kharkiv Machine-Building Plant (FED)» and PJSC «Motor Sich». The study employed integrated indicators subject to priorly defined criteria aimed at determining the deviation of the total value of the regulatory and optimizing financial tools efficiency that will enable to assessing the degree of enterprise enhancement. To evaluate the financial policy effectiveness, a methodological approach has been suggested based on the use of a hierarchical model and integrated indicator which includes basic indicators, in particular, the dynamics indicators as to the financial policy objects. The findings have revealed the objects of financial policy that need direct actions to improve the position of aviation enterprises by the criteria of sustainability and turnover. The study has also identified the key objects that urge critical changes and enhancing financial tools to manage stocks, financial assets, receivables, investments, loans, etc. Emphasis is placed on the optimization strategy and the need to build an effective depreciation policy. It is argued that the proposed methodological approach to evaluating the economic effects of the financial policy in the aviation industry will contribute to assessing its current state and adjusting the decision-making policy, as well as to modernizing the management framework and its economic effects on financial processes to boost innovation driven enterprise development.
INSIGHTS INTO CONTEMPORARY ISSUES OF CUSTOMS LOGISTICS
Authors: Nifatova Olena M.
Published: December 2020

The article seeks to explore modern approaches to managing customs logistics in Ukraine which is regulated by the current customs legislation in Ukraine, the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On the list of documents required for customs control and customs clearance of goods and vehicles moving across the border of Ukraine", regulations of the State Customs Service of Ukraine and other normative regulatory documents. It is argued that the logistics system should coordinate all processes of movement of goods across the customs border of Ukraine, regulate the conclusion of foreign economic contracts and customs clearance of foreign economic transactions. Besides, effective customs logistics contributes to boosting all customs related processes and provides rationale for further strategic forecasting and planning. The use of international (customs) logistics involves crossing national borders, costs resulting from the reduction of customs clearance time and simplification of costly customs procedures. The keen interest of transport companies, owners of temporary storage warehouses, customs brokers and other agents in the effective logistics performance is underpinned by rapidly increasing export-import flows and their revenues growth, respectively. The study findings have provided argument for the critical need and relevance to address the customs logistics issues in the frameworks of an integrated approach, in particular, this close coordination of actions should refer to such operations as goods transportation in individual links of the supply chain, transhipment, warehousing and storage of goods, cross-border cargo control, declaration, specifics of import, export and transit of goods procedures, ensuring the supply chain security, simplified movement of goods in the supply chain, etc.

Authors: Dikici Mehmet , Aksel Murat
Published: December 2020

The issue of mitigating the expected effects of drought has become quite prominent within the scope of planning, development, and management of water resources affected negatively by climate change. An integrated management approach must be planned primarily for sustainable water management. To conduct drought risk analyses, a sufficient amount of data must be available. The historical process of the basin must be known, and there must be a plan that is assessed with several indices. In this study, we carried out drought risk analyses on the Ceyhan Basin using meteorological, hydrogeological, and hydrological data to determine indices and indicators available in the literature. We compared indices, examined the correlations among them, and reached an outcome. All of the indices used in the study showed that the drought was in the same periodicity in the basin, and a slow progressing drought occurred in the basin. When the trend of the last 50 years of precipitation in the basin is analyzed, it is evident that there is a general decrease. In a general view, decision-makers shall provide drought management plans for the basin.
Does Fiscal Stance affect Public Expenditure: Evidence from Kenya
Authors: GATAUWA James
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of fiscal policy stance on public expenditure in Kenya while underpinned by the; Theory of fiscal policy, Peacock-Wiseman hypothesis and Wagner’s Law of increasing state activities. The methodology used was time series modelling involving the following steps; firstly, employing descriptive statistic analysis. Secondly, diagnostic testing involving stationarity test, cointegration test and Granger causality tests. Thirdly, time series modelling was done using VECM and VAR models. Finally, post-diagnostic tests involving serial correlation test and heteroscedasticity test. The research indicates that there is a negative relationship between fiscal policy stance (budget deficit) and public expenditure but fiscal stance through tax has a positive relationship with public expenditure. Fiscal policy stance and public expenditure are cointegrated as shown by the Johansen cointegration test but there is no short run causality between them as indicated by the Wald test statistics. The study is limited to fiscal policy stance and public expenditure in Kenya while considering selected macroeconomic factors. The research findings are vital to policy makers. Fiscal policy stance indirectly affects public expenditure through economic growth and macroeconomic factors. This implies that fiscal policy stance does not have a strong direct effect on public expenditure as supported by the theory of fiscal policy that contends that policy makers could have a lower incentive to pursue public interests as compared to their personal interests.

Authors: García Martel María Luisa , Mieres Ilda Avelina
Published: December 2020

Este artículo se configura en torno a una indagación respecto del currículum vitae de una docente y al análisis del mismo desde la perspectiva relacionada con la noción de currículum como espacio de formación disciplinaria. Cobró sentido en este trabajo la idea de significatividad; entendida ésta como principio subyacente de selección que explica las elecciones; actitudes; decisiones y adhesiones que el individuo expresa y realiza; en este caso particular en relación con la vida profesional.

El enfoque cualitativo fue el pilar metodológico de este trabajo ya que se buscó comprender una situación particular; contextualizada en un tiempo histórico determinado. Por ello se revalorizó la perspectiva de los actores involucrados.

Las conclusiones giran; en principio; en torno a la posibilidad de describir el trayecto profesional de un docente; mostrando diferentes actividades de una persona en un ordenamiento espacial y temporal determinado. Se pueden identificar períodos o etapas en diferentes niveles y funciones y se advierten; además; períodos de aceleramiento y condensación de actividades que hace pensar en una intensificación laboral. Asimismo; se identifican segmentos temporales en los que el camino se presenta pautado; lento; sereno; por tramas particulares de la vida personal. Vale la pena destacar la importancia ejercida por las presiones políticas y sociales en tiempos de ocupar cargos jerárquicos; siendo detonantes de renuncias en el desempeño profesional. La cuestión de la significatividad puso en el centro de la escena el entramado singular de la esfera personal con la esfera profesional.

Taxonomic history and epitypification of Corydalis kaschgarica (Fumariaceae)
Authors: Mikhailova M. A.
Published: December 2020

Corydalis kaschgarica Rupr. was described based on the one specimen (holotype) which is almost deprived of sepals (only two are present, missed by F. J. Ruprecht). For this reason, the sepals were characterized incorrectly in the original description, that caused further confusion in the treatment of the species. To eliminate this inaccuracy, the epitype of the name is designated (specimen LE 01072058) and the description of the taxon is corrected, with the sepals being narrow lanceolate, thread-like attenuate to the apex, herbaceous with membranous apex, 10–12(13) mm long, 1 mm wide.

Authors: Chemshit Alexander
Published: December 2020

The article notes that the departure from the political scene I.V Stalin meant the beginning of a new era. The new authorities faced the task of preserving and enhancing the dignities of the Soviet state. It was possible to do this only by maintaining a belief in an advanced idea that already needed updating and adjustment. It is mentioned that this task has not been solved. Political figures came to power, who, instead of a creative attitude to the Stalinist heritage and, thereby, forward movement, turned in the opposite direction, initiating de-Stalinization. The course towards de-Stalinization was the source of the violation monolithic structure of the state. “The khrushchev’s thaw” is characterized as a harbinger of future period of Gorbachev’s “perestroika”, which led to the great country disintegration.

The Munich conference of Minister-Presidents of German lands in 1947
Authors: Popov Ivan
Published: December 2020

The paper deals with the organization and decisions of the conference of the Minister-Presidents of German lands in Munich on June 6-7, 1947, which became the one and only meeting of the heads of the state governments of the western and eastern occupation zones before the division of Germany. The conference was the first experience of national positioning of the regional elite and clearly demonstrated that by the middle of 1947, not only between the allies, but also among German politicians, the incompatibility of perspectives of further constitutional development was existent and all the basic conditions for the division of Germany became ripe. Munich was the last significant demonstration of this disunity and the moment of the final turn towards the three-zone orientation of the West German elite.

Vaccino Covid-19: The Worst Case Scenario
Authors: Smith Kira
Published: December 2020

Il vaccino BioNTech/Pfizer BNT162b2 è composto da un RNA avente 4284 nucleotidi, suddivisi in 6 sezioni, che portano le informazioni per creare una fabbrica di proteine S Spike, quelle usate dal Sars-CoV-2 (Covid-19) per infettare il soggetto. Dopodiché, queste proteine vengono dirette al di fuori della cellula, facendo scattare la reazione immunitaria e la produzione di anticorpi.Il problema è la pesante alterazione dell'mRNA: l'Uracile viene sostituito per ingannare il sistema immunitario, le lettere di tutte le triplette di codoni vengono sostituite da una C o una G, per aumentare la velocità di produzione delle proteine all'estremo, sostituzione di alcuni aminoacidi con la Prolina, l'aggiunta di una sequenza misteriosa (3'-UTR), unito allo splicing alternativo, ovvero possibilità di errori di traduzione della sequenza e sintesi delle proteine; esse non vengono prodotte uguali, ma leggermente diverse. Tutto ciò può essere causa di molte malattie ereditarie e vari tipi di tumore, dalla nascita alla loro crescita, fino alla responsabilità delle metastasi.In sostanza, ciò che verrà creato è tutt'altro che ben definito come proteina S Spike: basta un errore di trascrizione, produzione errata di aminoacidi, quindi di proteine, per provocare gravi danni a lungo termine alla salute umana, nonostante il DNA non venga modificato, essendo invece nel nucleo cellulare e non nel citoplasma, ove arriva l'mRNA modificato.Tuttavia, in questo caso, la correlazione tra velocità di sintesi ed espressione proteica, oltre al meccanismo che potrebbe inficiare la traduzione della sequenza restano oscuri, in quanto molti trials sono proprietari di BioNTech/Pfizer

Meta-analysis is the statistical method for synthesizing studies on the same topic and is often used in clinical psychology to quantify the efficacy of treatments. A major threat to the validity of meta-analysis is publication bias, which implies that some studies are less likely to be published and are therefore less often included in a meta-analysis. A consequence of publication bias is the overestimation of the meta-analytic effect size that may give a false impression with respect to the efficacy of a treatment, which might result in (avoidable) suffering of patients and waste of resources. Guidelines recommend to routinely assess publication bias in meta-analyses, but this is currently not common practice. This chapter describes popular and state-of-the-art methods to assess publication bias in a meta-analysis and summarizes recommendations for applying these methods. We also illustrate how these methods can be applied to two meta-analyses that are typical for clinical psychology such that psychologists can readily apply the methods in their own meta-analyses.

An intricacy in vibration-based structural damage detection (VSDD) relates to environmental variabilities imposing limitations to the damage detectability. One method that has been put forth to resolve the issue is cointegration. Here, non-stationary vibration features are linearly combined into stationary residuals, which are then employed as damage indices under the assumption that the non-stationarity is governed by environmental variabilities. In the present paper, the feasibility of using cointegration to mitigate environmental variabilities while retaining sensitivity to damage is examined through an experimental study with a steel beam. A temperature-based environmental variability is introduced to the beam by use of a heating cable, while damage is emulated by adding local mass perturbations. The vibration response of the beam in different environmental and structural states is captured and utilized as features in a cointegration-based damage detection scheme. The performance of the scheme is assessed and compared to that of a scheme not accounting for the variability on the basis of the false positive ratio (FPR), the true positive ratio (TPR), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The results show that cointegration effectively mitigates the temperature variability and allows for an improved damage detectability compared to that of the scheme without a mitigation strategy

The present study introduces a covert eye-tracking procedure as an innovative approach to investigate the adequacy of research paradigms used in psychology. In light of the ongoing debate regarding ego depletion, the frequently used “attention-control video task” was chosen to illustrate the method. Most participants did not guess that their eyes had been monitored, but some participants had to be excluded due to poor tracking ratio. The eye-tracking data revealed that the attention-control instructions had a significant impact on the number of fixations, revisits, fixation durations, and proportion of long fixation durations on the AOIs (all BF10 > 18.2). However, number of fixations and proportions of long fixation durations did not mediate cognitive performance. The results illustrate the promise of covert eye-tracking methodology to assess task compliance, as well as adding to the current discussion regarding whether the difficulties of replicating “ego depletion” may be in part due to poor task compliance in the video task.

Mounting evidence supports the serotonin 2A receptor agonist psilocybin as a psychiatric pharmacotherapy. Little research has experimentally examined how session “set and setting” impacts subjective and therapeutic effects. We analyzed effects of musical genre played during sessions of a psilocybin study for tobacco smoking cessation. Participants (N=10) received psilocybin (20-30mg/70kg) in two sessions, each with a different genre (Western classical versus overtone-based), with order counterbalanced. Participants chose one genre for a third session (30mg/70kg). Mystical experiences scores tended to be higher in overtone-based than Western classical sessions. Six of ten participants chose overtone-based music for a third session. Biologically-confirmed smoking abstinence was similar based on musical choice, with a slight benefit for participants choosing the overtone-based playlist (66.7% versus 50%). These data call into question whether Western classical music typically used in psychedelic therapy holds unique benefit. Broadly, they call for experimentally examining session components toward optimizing psychedelic therapeutic protocols.

Strategic utilization of organic material for agriculture is important for improve efficiency in organic agriculture. Waste from food processing is a good candidate for compost material, and the first critical step is to choose proper raw material. In this study, we tried to establish a reliable screening method by comparing growth of different plant parts in different crops in combination with serial dilution of raw material extracts. The raw materials compared here are tangerine pomace, herbal medicinal plant waste, bread, spent coffee ground (SCG). We also compared effect of organic fertilizer made of SCG, natural pesticides made of pyrethrum extract and neem oil. The results obtained from different kind of crops and plant parts give insight into growth enhancing or inhibitory effect of tested material which will be useful screening raw material to make organic fertilizer and crop protective materials.

Tomato is one of the most commonly growing vegetable crops among the farmers in Sri Lanka. Standard laboratory germination of tomato seeds fulfills the regulatory requirements of seed marketing. However, poor field performance is an overwhelming problem to farmers. Present study was focused on the longevity of two varieties of tomato seeds as affected by their quality characters (percentage germination, moisture, field emergence and vigour index, seed protein and carbohydrate contents) including seed health (exposure of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. Michiganensis (CMMV), Spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Leaf curly top virus (LCTV)) under four different storage environmental conditions during a one-year long storage study. Seeds were packed in triple-laminated aluminum packets (TLA) and stored in low temperature storage conditions (17±1 °C and 65% RH) and in ambient conditions in Gannoruwa, Kundasale, and MahaIlluppallama that represent the three agro-ecologically zones; Mid Country Wet Zone (MCWZ), Mid Country Intermediate Zone (MCIZ) and Low Country Dry Zone (LCDZ) respectively. Seed quality parameters displayed varied responses depending on the variety. Physiological changes that occur in seeds due to temperature, RH, changes in proteins and carbohydrate content, CMMV and TSWV during storage were manifested as reduction in seed germination, field emergence and vigour index. However, none of the seedling carried LCTV and therefore its effect on seed quality parameters could not be assessed. The seeds could be stored for ca. 29 months at low and constant temperatures and RH conditions without compromising local seed germination standards compared to ambient storage in the three environments. CMMV and TSWV detected in all seed samples indicated potential threats to tomato farmers in Sri Lanka.

In Recent years, cultivation of Mustard (Brassica juncea) is growing popularity but there is lack of suitable high yielding and oil contenting variety in Nepal.  With Objective of identifying and releasing of high yielding variety, evaluation of exotic genotypes were done in the research field and farmers field. Coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) was conducted for three years in three different location (Nawalpur, parwanipur and Khajura) in RCBD design.   4 Elite genotypes were selected and further evaluate under Coordinated Farmer Field Trial (CFFT) for 5 years where each farmer was considered as Replication.  Nutrients Analysis was done to find out the moisture, oil and protein content of selected elite genotypes.  In combined   ANNOVA of CVT, ICJ 9704 was found to be high yielding genotypes.  Similarly, In CFFT, genotypes was significantly for yield where   ICJ 9704 produced highest yield (906.75 kg/ha) where as   Divya, Pusa Jagarnath and Krishna produced yield of 798.12 kg/ha, 790 kg/ha and 767.392 kg/ha. ICJ 9704 has high oil content 37.3 % with   36.3 % protein content. In 2017, ICJ 9704 was release as Morang rayo and was recommended to grow in the terai and inner terai. Hope this variety will be popular among mustard growing farmer and will help to meet the national demand of the Nation.

Published: December 2020

Background: Studies from other regions show gender-based differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with conflicting results. There is a lack of definite data from our population.

Materials and Methods: This is a hospital-based cross-sectional study in patients with ACS admitted to the tertiary care center from January 2019 to June 2020. Risk factors, co-morbidities, clinical symptoms, duration of symptoms onset, modalities of treatment offered, complications, and in-hospital outcome were noted in the pre-structured questionnaire by convenient sampling. Data were analyzed by using Microsoft excel 2007 and SPSS 20.

Results: Among 384 participants, 65.9% were male and 34.1% were female. The mean age of males was 60.6 ± 12.1 and females 62.3 ± 11.1 years (P=0.21). Females had a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia (p<0.001). The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and smoking was similar. The mean hemoglobin level was higher in males (11.8 ± 2.2 gm/dl vs. 11.1 ± 4.57 gm/dl, P = 0.01). The majority presented with chest pain (94.9%) in males and 87.8% in females, P=0.44), and sweating (76.7% in males and 80.2% in females, P=0.43). Non-anginal symptoms were almost similar in both the genders except nausea which was more common in males (P=0.03). The timing of presentation, treatment with reperfusion therapy, and arterial territory involved were not significantly different. Prevalence of mechanical and arrhythmic complications as well as mortality was similar.

Conclusion: Our study did not show significant gender-based differences in clinical profile, treatment modalities, in-hospital complications, and mortality.
