Published: June 2022

Introduction. Due to the full-scale war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, there is a sharp deterioration in absolutely all macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP, inflation, unemployment and so on. In the conditions of war, the formation of state revenues and expenditures depends on the effectiveness of tax policy to enable Ukraine to perform its state functions. Taxes play a dominant role in revenues and expenditures, so the implementation of effective tax policy of Ukraine is an extremely important issue and becomes especially relevant in the context of the importance of its impact on all spheres of public life and ensuring the functioning of the country.
Goal. The purpose of the article is to improve tax policy to ensure the security of Ukraine both nationally and internationally.
Method (methodology). In the course of the research the following methods were used: dialectical, generalization, comparison, system analysis, observation of economic activity, graphic, etc.
Results. It is proved that the financial and economic front is becoming no less important than the real military one, because without it is impossible to effectively defend Ukraine at the domestic and international levels. It is substantiated that the main problems of tax policy before the invasion of the Russian Federation were: complexity and inconsistencies, frequent and numerous changes in tax legislation, excessive and uneven tax burden on taxpayers, which did not stimulate business and other activities, but contributed to tax evasion, budgets of different levels, large-scale shadowing of the economy, slow harmonization and unification of domestic legislation to EU requirements, etc. It has been proved that it is necessary to build such a tax policy that would make it possible to meet at least the basic needs of the state, support entrepreneurship and a sufficient standard of living, and so on. It is substantiated that it is necessary to prevent further stagnation of Ukraine's economy. Measures for the effective application of security measures and measures to improve tax policy in the context of hostilities are proposed.

Published: June 2022

Human activities are progressively defined by interactions with products that embed increasingly higher levels of immaterial component (software, patents, design principles and patterns). After presenting the continuity between seminal concepts in Cybernetics, Information Theory, Network Analysis, AI practices on one side and cognitive behaviour by leveraging a minimalist approach to cybernetic systems based on the concept of capacity of network; the text tries to establish continuity between networks represented as graphs, pattern recognition/decision-making and the concept of interface to define logical rule-based automata like: a rule-based descriptive construct for an 'economy of information exchange' between systems (or an 'economy of time'), a rule-based framework for approaching the hard problem of consciousness. These are critical waypoints in navigating fast-growing knowledge-intensive landscapes. This review into patterns of growing complexity is concluded with an hypothesis that aims to extend Ashby's definition of machine to include interfaces.

Authors: Bhatia Rohan , Singh Apoorva , Saha Sriparna
Published: June 2022

 Automatic complaint identification is crucial to organizations as they provide insights to meet the customers' requirements, including handling and addressing the complaints. However, compared to manually tagged complaints in financial institutions, automatic identification of complaints and associated severity level could direct them to specific teams, save crucial time addressing the complaints, and help understand the complainers' needs. In this work, we curate a new corpus of Financial Complaints (FINCORP) for aiding complaint identification and complaint severity classification research. We present a framework for joint learning of (a) binary complaint classification, (b) complaint severity level classification, (c) emotion recognition, and (d) sentiment analysis. The proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches and other baselines based on the extensive evaluation.

An article has an interdіsciplinary character and is written at the interface of the readership, a history of the librarianship, a psychology, a literary studies and the some specific trends of sociology, among their number are a sociology of reading, a sociology of age and a sociology of migration. An author trys to research a development of the theoretical basis of classification of the readers in Germany during the last 100 years. A special attention was given to a description of scientific conceptions, which were developed after World War ІІ given. In the article are in broad outline numerous sociological studies described that were conducted during the 60 years. The author want to assume, that a belonging to the certain group of readers is a result of influence of the demographic, educational, political and social factors. A special attention is payed to the description of psychological factors that determine a belonging of person to the proper typological group of readers. Through the study of number of results of the sociological, literature and librarian works of reading was established, that the literary tastes of person, his habit of reading and a level of the interest as well an influence of environment belong to the subgroup of psychological factors. It was proposed a version of typology of the migrants- readers with a consideration of the forms of their integration, their information, social and psychological needs as well their relation to the reading of fiction both in the native language and in the foreign languages too. The author comes to a conclusion, що a problem of typology of the specific groups of readers, among the numbers the migrants and the youth people, is today not fully studied. Other topical trend of researches from the field of typology of the readers is an influence of Іnternet and other Social Media that today leads to the restructuring of groups of the readers.
Formation of garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 nanoparticles as an alternative structural stabilization route
Authors: Ledwaba RS , Ngoepe PE
Published: June 2022

The cubic garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is an eminent candidate for next-generation solid state battery technology due to its therma stability and high ionic conductivity. As such, its operation mechanisms need to be thoroughly understood, particularly on the structural nstability challenge reported to occur at lower temperatures. Although it exists as either the tetragonal or cubic structures, the latter is favourable because of its higher Li+ conductivity rate. However, inability to retain thermodynamic stability in cubic phase at low temperatures (≤ 903,15 K) remains a challenge. As an alternative to extrinsic doping, as recently attempted in various studies, it has been discovered that decreasing the size to nano-level could remedy the phase stability challenge of cubic LLZO. Herein, we have modelled the bulk and nanostructured LLZO under various temperature conditions in the range 300 – 1500 K using the DL_ POLY molecular dynamics code, to understand the LLZO high temperature behaviour and track phase transformations. The molecular dynamics calculations performed on these materials revealed two distinct patterns of Li-ion transport on the diffusion coefficient plots. The trends in conductive ion diffusions show that nanostructured materials yield higher diffusion coefficients that the bulk structures. Findings of this study form a strong foundation towards the amorphization and recrystallization of these materials to monitor any change in structure post crystallization since the ability to retain both structural and conductivity rate are equally crucial.
Applying the Betty Neuman Model to Explain the Relationship between Workload as Stressors and Shift Work Disorder among Nurses; a Conceptual Model
Authors: Idowu Olanrewaju A. , Oyekunle Adetoun A. , Fajemilehin B. R. , Idowu-Olutola Oluwaseun M.
Published: June 2022

Background: Theories and models are the bedrock of sound reasoning and judgments in any clinical practice. They serve as frameworks for scientific understandings and intellectual discussions. This paper provides a review of the Betty Neumann Systems Model (NSM) and how it could be applied to understanding the relationship between workload as a stressor and shift work disorder among nurses. Method: The Betty Neumann System Model was reviewed, and the main concepts were explained. A conceptual explanation of the model was then presented using the concepts relating to nurses' workload and shift work disorders among nurses. Results: The conceptual model shows that high workload as stressors if persistent could break the defence lines and results in symptoms predictive of shift work disorder among nurses who rotate shifts. However, primary prevention is needed before the individual is in contact with such a stressor. An example of primary prevention includes pre-shift napping and reducing working hours. Also, secondary prevention of stressors includes several treatment strategies such as promoting rest periods, reducing shift duration, and increasing inter-shift recovery. By augmenting inter-shift recovery, sleep debt and fatigue may subsequently diminish. When treatment occurs and is maintained, the restoration of balance may be achieved through tertiary prevention. Conclusion: The negative outcomes of workload stressors as manifested as shift work disorder (SWD) among nurses could be averted if the conceptual model of the Betty Neumann System Model is applied.

Authors: Ajamat Mohammed , Ahizoun Aziz , Elbakkal Ayoub. , Benmoh Youssouf , Satte Amal , Mounach Jamal , Bourazza Ahmed
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a particular and rare demyelinating disease of the white matter of the brain that was first described by J. Balo in 1928 and considered as a rare variant of multiple sclerosis. The clinical manifestations usually consist of aphasia, behavioral disturbances, and seizures. This term results from a pattern of concentric aspect of the lesions with alternating areas of demyelination and areas of normal myelin in various parts of the brain and spinal cord. BCS was described as monophasic, progressive, and treated as a disease with a fulminant course. Case report: We report a case of 38 years old woman who developed slurring of speech with mild swallowing disorders for solid foods accompanied by vertigo. Her MRI showed “onion peel-like” demyelinating lesions over the subcortical areas of the left parietal lobe. Treatment given to the Patient was IV methylprednisolone followed by oral corticosteroids, with a favorable outcome without clinical recurrence after two years of follow-up. Conclusion: BCS is a rare disease with an unpredictable course, the pathognomonic brain MRI features help to secure the diagnosis. The clinical case described is interesting because of the rarity of this entity.

Published: June 2022

Arteria lusoria or retroesophageal right subclavian artery is the most common aortic arch malformation, accounting for 0.5-2.5% of cases. It is mostly aymptomatic, but can also be detected in patients with symptoms such as dyspnea, dysphagia or even recurrent respiratory infections. A combination of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and a bicarotid trunk is extremely rare with a prevalence of <0,05% [1]. We present the case of a 3 months old girl who presented with a wheezing dyspnea. She underwent a computed tomography of the chest, and incidental anomalies of the aortic arch branches were found. A symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery and bicarotid trunk, which was found, are rare and usually incidental findings.

Introduction: Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction, or Ogilvie syndrome, is a motility abnormality characterised by rapid and progressive dilation of the large intestine. It is seen in the adult population, but rarely in children. To achieves a diagnosis it is fundamental to exclude mechanical obstruction with imaging studies such as computer axial tomography. Clinical case: child of 08 years old with a history of cerebral palsy and anemia came to the pediatric emergencies for abdominal distension and vomiting evolving since a day before admission, all in a context of deterioration in general and feverish condition. The diagnosis of septic shock was made, and radiological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of Ogilvie syndrome. The treatment was conservative with slight clinical amalgamation at start but the symptoms worsened afterwards and the patient die 05 days later. Conclusions: Ogilvie’s syndrome is a rare condition in the pediatric population. Abdominal x-ray plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of ACPO, and CT scan help to look for complications. Conservative management in this disease is the initial approach. Interventions should be reserved for when conservative treatment fails.

Pneumocephalus is a frequent complication of head trauma and cranial surgery unlike pneumoventriculus which is a rare entity. Imaging plays an important role in the positive diagnosis of pneumoventriculus and the CT scan is the key examination in the assessment of skull base fractures. We report the case of one patient presenting with a neglected open head injury following road traffic accident whose computed tomography (CT) brain images confirm skull base fractures with bilateral pneumoventriculus.

Addictions represent a major public health problem in developing countries, with health, economic and socio-professional impacts. The consumption of psychoactive drugs is responsible in France for more than 100,000 preventable deaths per year [1]. Data from epidemiological surveys on the gravity of the situation in sub-Saharan Africa are essentially hospital-based and not very representative of reality, because there are few services specializing in addictions. Opioid analgesics are molecules whose addictogenic potential has been known and described for many years [2]. In Cameroon, non-morphine analgesics are widely prescribed for the treatment of pain. Addiction to long-term use of non-opioid analgesics remains anecdotal in the scientific literature. We report here a rare case of addiction to Nefopam, a non-opioid analgesic, in a 45-year-old black woman with fibromyalgia. The aim of this presentation is to draw the attention of clinicians to the risk of addiction linked to the misuse of nefopam.

Primary malignant cardiac tumours are extremely rare. They count for a quarter of all possible cardiac tumors, and are mostly sarcomas. For a long time, their diagnosis was made post mortem, and they were only reported through autopsy series. Since then, diagnostic and therapeutic advances have been made, making clinical diagnosis of this entity more accessible ante mortem. Nevertheless, due to their rarity, cardiac sarcomas suffer from a lack of therapeutic guidelines. Their treatment is modelled on that of sarcomas developed in other organs of the body. We report an interesting case of a 74-year-old female patient operated on for an infiltrating sarcomatous tumour of the left atrium revealed by dyspnoea associated with cardiac palpitations. Thoracic angioscan and transthoracic echocardiography led to the diagnosis of a cardiac tumour, and the thoracic-abdominal-pelvic Computed Tomography (CT) scan did not reveal any other extracardiac lesions except for a minimal non-neoplastic bilateral pleural effusion. The patient underwent an incomplete surgical procedure with R2 resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin monotherapy. The evolution under this treatment was marked by a locoregional progression of the disease with further progression in the atria, mediastinum and dorsal spine after 4 courses. A second line of chemotherapy with Dacarbazine monotherapy was initiated, but the patient died shortly after receiving two courses of the new treatment.

Introduction: Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder that affects 79% to 95% of the young population. In United States, 40% to 45% of men and women older than 25 years of age have some degrees of facial acne that continues to the middle age in 12% of women and 3% of men. Acne vulgaris (acne) is one of the most common chronic dermatological diseases among adolescents, affecting about 80% of young people between 12 and 18 years of age. Obesity is one of the biggest problems in western life style but nowadays, the problem is increasing even in low and middle-income countries. Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to accurately measure obesity. Objective: To find out the association between different categories of BMI and severity of acne. Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional prospective study conducted in the outpatient Department of Dermatology, Shaheed M. Monsur Ali Medical College Hospital, Sirajganj, Bangladesh from January to March 2022. All the newly diagnosed patients with acne were included in the study. Height and weight of the patients was recorded and BMI was calculated. BMI was categorized as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. Type of lesions were noted and severity of acne was graded from 1 to 4. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 21 for windows. One-way Analysis of Variance between groups (ANOVA) test was applied. P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 125 patients with acne were included in the study. Age of the patients ranged from 10 to 50 years with mean age of 20.82 ±5.9 years. Most of the patients were in the age group of 11-20 years. There was slightly a female preponderance with female: male ratio of 1:1.4. According to BMI, 65.5% were normal, 12% were overweight, 20.5% were underweight and 2% of patients were obese. Majority of the patients had Grade 2 acne (52.8%). There was no significant association between the BMI and severity of acne (p=0.129). Maximum number of obese patients had grade 4 acne, maximum number of overweight patients had grade 2 acne and maximum number of underweight patients had grade 1 acne. But there was no significant association between the BMI categories and grades of acne (p=0.129). Similarly, there was no significant association between the age and grades of acne (p=0.61). Conclusion: The prevalence of acne with severity more than moderate was much lower in patients who were underweight (BMI less than 18.5). However, this study showed no statistically significant difference in BMI among people with different severities of acne. Population-based studies, as well as age restriction of the participants, can lead to more accurate and reliable results in this regard. There was no significant association between BMI and severity of acne. However, a larger population-based study is indicated to validate our finding.

Motor neuron disease (MND), often known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a degenerative neurological illness for which there is no recognized cause (ALS). Increased muscular weakening and bulbar dysfunction lead to respiratory failure, which is the most common cause of mortality [1]. It may be difficult to establish the diagnosis until all of the clinical signs and symptoms are present. One should always get a professional neurology opinion for all types of ailments since there is a wide differential diagnosis to consider, including treatable conditions. Though it is possible that only a small percentage of people with familial ALS can be shown to have an inherited gene disorder, research into the molecular basis of genetic subgroups is yielding vital discoveries that might one day lead to medications for those with sporadic cases [2]. A multidisciplinary team provides supportive care in the absence of a cure or treatment that may alter the course of the illness. Motor neuron illness may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and future treatment may involve a combination of molecular medications and stem cell transplantation. A progressive degenerative disease, such as MND or ALS, has no known cause in the patients who suffer from it. When examining the differential diagnosis of motor neuron illnesses, it is necessary to consider the relative involvement of upper and lower motor neurons.
