The State of the Cross-Strait Affairs
Authors: Szilágyi Judit
Published: January 2023

Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have evolving economic relations, but Beijing’s One-China policy, growing global economic and political weight and leverage on its Asian partners have recently raised questions whether the near future brings peaceful reunification or a military operation. This paper aims to analyze the complexities of the most recent developments of the cross-strait relations, including the political positions and economic interests of the most relevant actors in Asia, Japan and South Korea, and Taiwan’s largest global partner interested in containing the rise of China, the United States. Based on a secondary research methodology involving a range of international literature we seek to find similarities and differences in Taiwan’s relations with Seoul and Tokyo, and analyze the level of their possible involvement if Beijing resorts to more assertive moves towards reunification. Recent changes in the PRC’s and the United States’ bilateral and international positions as well as the political stance of the current leadership in Taipei give the topic a specific relevance.
From the US-Taiwan Economic Relationship to Sustainable Global Economic Development
Authors: Kuo Tony Sowang
Published: January 2023

Taiwan performed an economic miracle from the 1960s to the 1990s, which made it into one of the Four Asian Tigers, along with Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea. Taiwan specifically transformed itself from an agricultural society into an industrial society and became a leading manufacturer of high technology goods, especially electronics, information communications technology, semiconductors, petrochemicals, textiles, etc. Taiwan’s manufacturing sector comprises more than 36 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and provides jobs to 35 percent of the workforce. The country is one of the largest suppliers of semiconductors, computers, mobile phones, and monitors to the world market. The nominal GDP ranks twentieth in the world and is the seventh largest economy in Asia. While the country is known for its semiconductor and electronics industries, Taiwan’s economy is still dominated by the services industry. The services sector accounted for 62.7 percent of Taiwan’s GDP in 2020, employing 59.7 percent of the labor force. Taiwan’s economy is highly export-oriented and reliant on international trade. Although its economic performance seems to make Taiwan a major global economic actor, the future development of its economy is dependent on its foreign relations, especially the relationship with major economic powers, like the United States and China. China continuously attempts to isolate Taiwan diplomatically and its ability to maintain its presence in global markets, restrain Taiwan’s economic stability and the wills of other countries to maintain a stable economic relationship with Taiwan.
Taiwan’s Trade and Investments in the Hyper-Globalized World, its Participation in the Activities of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and in other International Organizations
Authors: Árva László
Published: January 2023

Economic development of Taiwan (Republic of China, ROC) has largely based during the last 60 years on Export Oriented Development Model, though its forms developed deeply during the last decades. At the same time, diplomatic isolation makes Taiwan unable to receive and hold full-fledged membership in international organizations or to join international agreements. A peculiar exception is the World Trade Organization (WTO), which Taiwan could join using a special name of “Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu (Chinese Taipei)” which was not objected by the People’s Republic of China, PRC (Mainland China). However, Taiwan still has difficulties when trying to benefit from its membership in other international organizations. But today, in the time of hyper-globalization, foreign direct investments (FDIs) are getting increasingly important and international commerce is getting to be more and more negligeable, the WTO membership is not as important as it used to be some years or decades ago. Today, OECD is perhaps more important, therefore, Taiwan should focus on this organization in the future. However, as memberships of Taiwan in the international organizations were influenced mainly by political factors, it is also possible that new diplomatic, political and military developments might change the international atmosphere, and especially in the time of increasing tensions between the USA and the European Union on one hand, and the People’s Republic of China and Russia on the other, in the near future, Taiwan might return again to some of these international organizations.
Social and Cultural Aspects in Taiwan’s Economic Development with Special Focus on the Education System and Gender Equality
Authors: Hidasi Judit
Published: January 2023

Taiwan (officially known as the Republic of China, ROC) as one of Asia’s Four Little Dragons (Wong, 2003) has gained economic strength by the end of the 20th century and became an important regional player. Its democratic achievements and economic prosperity have won recognition internationally (Mahbubani, 2011). Amidst the significant changes and reordering of economic powerhouses in terms of world geopolitics, academics and researchers have constantly made efforts to understand the main factors driving economic growth in countries the world over. As part of this process, Taiwan has also gained international attention and experts hope to learn from the Taiwan experience. Taiwan’s history in brief: mostly independent existence until the 15th century followed by episodic, periodic, and extended periods of rule by mainland Chinese dynasties, interrupted by the presence of Portuguese explorers, Spanish settlers, Dutch colonizers, and Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945) until it reached its present status, and the country has been operating with a democratically elected government since 1996.
Mistakes in the diagnosis of tuberculous orchiepididymitis.

Introduction. Everywhere there is a weighting of the structure of urogenital tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the testis and its epididymis is difficult to diagnose because it does not have pathognomonic symptoms; the diagnosis cannot be verified microbiologically in the study of ejaculate or prostate secretion, however, it is possible to detect a pathogen in biopsy specimens or surgical material. Materials and methods. Search results were analyzed in the scientific databases eLibrary, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library and PEDro, Wang-fang and Cnki, Edline for the queries «urogenital tuberculosis», «tuberculosis of the male genital organs», «tuberculosis testicles», «tuberculosis of the epididymis», «tuberculous epididymitis», «tuberculous orchiepididymitis», «diagnosis». Results. An isolated lesion of the scrotum is observed with testicular neoplasms, bacterial epididymo-orchitis, genitourinary sarcoidosis, inguinal-scrotal hernia, and hydrocele. Since oncological diseases cause the greatest concern, misinterpretation of clinical and laboratory data and neglect of the epidemic history can lead to an erroneous diagnosis and unnecessary orchiectomy. At best, the patient is initially diagnosed with bacterial epididymo-orchitis and given antibiotic therapy. At the same time, the wrong choice of antibiotic can subsequently make it impossible to identify the pathogen and distort the pathomorphological picture. Description of the clinical case. The article presents a case of incorrect tactics in the treatment of a patient with tuberculous epididymitis, erroneously diagnosed as an «epididymal cyst». Neglect of microbiological data led to the formation of a fistulous form of orchiepididymitis. Conclusions. The diagnosis of tuberculous orchiepididymitis is difficult. With the help of radiation diagnostic methods, tuberculosis of the testicle and apidymis can be suspected; to confirm the diagnosis, identification of the pathogen or the presence of specific pathological signs is required. High vigilance is required for tuberculosis when examining a patient with complaints of enlargement and tenderness of the scrotum.

Introduction. The problem of enuresis to this day remains relevant primarily in connection with a decrease in the quality of life of both children, due to psychological discomfort, and their parents. The aim of the study was to select effective algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children and adolescents, taking into account the pathogenesis of the disease. Materials and methods. Children aged 5 to 15 years with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of enuresis were selected for the study. Depending on the clinical form of the disease, the children were divided into three groups. The first group included patients with the primary form of enuresis, the second-with secondary enuresis, and the third-with a mixed form of the disease. After an additional examination, all patients were assigned treatment based on their clinical group. Patients of the first clinical group were prescribed desmopressin as a treatment. In the second clinical group, treatment was carried out taking into account the level of damage to the nervous system. In the case of a suspected lesion of the cervical spine, electrophoresis was performed with a 1% solution of Euphyllini with an electrode applied to the cervical region. Nootropics and group B vitamins were prescribed for suspected cerebral lesions. In hyperexcitability syndrome, patients received Тenoten for children. In the third clinical group, treatment was carried out in two stages. The first stage corresponded to the protocol of treatment of the secondary form of enuresis, was carried out in a hospital setting. Further treatment was carried out on an outpatient basis in accordance with the recommendations for the treatment of the primary form of enuresis. Results. Positive dynamics was observed in all three clinical groups after the treatment. In 2.7% of children, a clinical cure was observed after the first course of therapy. 71.8% have a complete recovery after two courses of therapy. In 17.3% – after three courses of treatment. Conclusion. Principles of therapy selection for enuresis in children and adolescents require a comprehensive diagnosis and careful selection of therapy, depending on the pathogenetic form. The current control of therapy can be carried out by a pediatrician, and the intermediate results of treatment should be evaluated by a neurologist and a urologist. Hospitalization in a hospital is indicated in the case of the development of concomitant complications in the form of urinary tract infection, infectious and urodynamic disorders.
Effect of prostatic peptides on the lomefloxacin transmembrane influx.
Authors:   Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Dukhanin A.S. ,   Moscow, Russia
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The use of peptides that penetrate the cell without the participation of membrane proteins and are capable of intracellular transport of low molecular weight substances associated with them opens up a new stage in the development of targeted drug delivery to therapeutic targets. Aim. Evaluation of the effect of prostatic peptides of Vitaprost® (prostate extract) on the transmembrane transport of the antimicrobial drug lomefloxacin. Material and methods. In the first series, the effects of prostatic peptides on the ability of lomefloxacin to pass through artificial membranes by passive diffusion (PAMPA method – parallel artificial membrane permeability assay) were studied. In the second series, the effects of prostatic peptides on the cell permeability of lomefloxacin were studied in the Caco-2 model. Results. Comparative study of effective membrane permeability (logPe). for lomefloxacin in the absence (control group) and presence of prostatic peptides (a mixture of prostate extract at a concentration of 10 mg/ml) showed that the combined use of lomefloxacin and prostatic peptides leads to a significant increase in the logPe value, an increase of 29% on average. The specific nature of the identified interaction was confirmed: the addition of beta-mercaptoethanol (BME) to the donor compartment did not affect the permeability of pure lomefloxacin, but suppressed the cargo effect of prostatic peptides. The permeability coefficient (Papp) calculated on the Caco-2 model for lomefloxacin in combination with peptides was 13.04±1.80×10-6 cm/s, while for lomefloxacin it was 10.31±0.76×10-6 cm/s. Conclusion. Comparison of the obtained data of two series of experiments indicates the presence of a direct cargo effect of prostatic peptides on the transmembrane transport of lomefloxacin in vitro.

Introduction. Bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer worldwide. Radical cystectomy remains the gold standard for muscle invasive bladder cancer. The active use of robot-assisted cystectomy for treating patients with bladder cancer allows considering it as an alternative surgical option. The review is aimed at collecting and systematizing the evidence base for intracorporeal robot-assisted cystectomy. Materials and methods. MEDLINE, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were used with the PICO (Patient-InterventionComparison-Outcome) search strategy to identify research articles published between 2000 and 2022. The following keywords were used to search the medical literature: «robot-assisted cystectomy», «RARC», «orthotopic neobladder», «intracorporeal RARC», «extracorporeal RARC», «bladder cancer», «functional outcomes», and «clinical outcomes». The review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Checklist. Exclusion criteria: abstracts, review articles, editor's notes and comments, book chapters; experimental and laboratory studies on animals or cadavers. Results and disscussion. A total of 475 original articles were retrieved from the databases. Of them, 71 original articles were included in the analysis. The benefits and advantages of intracorporeal RARC at the intraoperative and postoperative period in comparison with RCE and extracorporeal RARC were reported. Functional and oncological outcomes following intracorporeal RARC are also comparable with RCE and extracorporeal RARC, suggesting the effectiveness and safety of the new surgical technology for treating patients with bladder cancer. Conclusions. The last decade has been marked with an active transition from traditional surgical techniques to robot-assisted surgery, enabling the precise performance, minimal trauma, and minimal intraoperative blood loss.

Introduction. Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases with a trend towards stable growth in different countries. Thanks to the active development of minimally invasive surgery, lithotripsy has become possible in any part of the pelvicalyceal system, practically replacing open surgery for urolithiasis. Aim: to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of various methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis. Materials and methods. The study included patients with urolithiasis who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Urology of the State Budgetary Institution of Regional Administration of the City Clinical Hospital No. 11 (Ryazan) in the period from January 2015 to December 2020. Statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2003 and Statistica 10 software. Results. During this period, 4415 patients whith urolithiasis were treated in the hospital. The total number of operations performed is 5655, including the necessary repeated operations associated with the formation of residual concretions after surgical treatment. The greatest number of repeated operations was required after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and amounted to 56.1% in the localization of stones in the PCS and 47.0% in the ureter. The average number of complications in the form of residual concretions after contact lithotripsy was 13.3%, which is significantly less than the results after ESWL. The average number of days spent in the hospital was significantly higher after open surgical interventions and amounted to 12 days, while after contact and remote lithotripsy methods 4 and 7 days, respectively. The level of postoperative pain on the VAS scale (Visual Analog Scale) varied in the range of points 6-9 after open surgical interventions and persisted for a longer time in comparison with small and non - invasive interventions, where the level of postoperative pain varied in the range of 1-4 points. Conclusion. The results obtained by us confirm the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive methods of lithotripsy. The main disadvantage of ESWL and lithotripsy methods using Ho-YAG laser is the frequent formation of residual concretions, however, such advantages as a shorter recovery period, less need for the use of non-opioid analgesics in the early postoperative period do not raise doubts about the need for their use and a reduction in the number of more traumatic surgical interventions.

In the exchange of emotional sympathy, tea acts as capital, like a bet in a game, and tea culture can be economic capital and social capital, cultural capital and symbolic capital. This study establishes research issues on the restoration of national homogeneity by engaging in tea culture as cultural heritage, forming emotional consensus between North and South Koreans through tea culture, inter-Korean tea cultural exchanges, and cooperative projects. A search of the literature and FGI confirms that tea culture is a practice that can facilitate empathy and communication, creating empathy among daily life cultures. For inter-Korean tea cultural exchange to become a consensus for exchange, this study confirmed that the government's cultural policy along with continuous and various educational programs are necessary.

A radiografia interproximal, conhecida como raio-X bitewing, é uma técnica de radiografia odontológica intraoral que obtém imagens das coroas dos dentes pré-molares e molares. Essa técnica é dividida em 4 partes para ser possível observar todos os dentes posteriores dos lados direito e esquerdo em um mesmo exame. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a distribuição de dose absorvida em um exame de radiografia interproximal completa, utilizando o método Monte Carlo para calcular os coeficientes de conversão para dose absorvida (CC[D]). As glândulas parótidas são as que receberam a maior dose absorvida com um CC[D] total de 1,62E-1 (0,7%). Os tecidos que receberam as menores doses foram as lentes dos olhos e a glândula tireoide, pois estão mais distantes do feixe primário durante o exame. Devido à radiossensibilidade das glândulas salivares, é importante atentar-se para a otimização do exame, visto que, a sua exposição recorrente à radiação ionizante pode acarretar modificação da composição salivar e na diminuição da quantidade de saliva secretada.

O objetivo deste trabalho é aprimorar a experiência do usuário em um toolkit para pós-processamento de imagens na modalidade SPECT (Tomografia computadorizada por emissão de fóton único), tornando-o também livremente executável para não usuários do MATLAB. O toolkit foi desenvolvido dentro do MATLAB, usando o recurso de desenvolvimento de aplicativos autônomos, MATLAB AppCompiler, e escrito com o ambiente de aplicativos, MATLAB AppDesigner, na versão R2021a. Várias funcionalidades do aplicativo foram corrigidas ou melhoradas (bugs/falhas, problemas de otimização, aperfeiçoamento do layout), além de adicionar novos recursos e executar o aplicativo de forma totalmente independente do MATLAB. Em termos de desempenho, o toolkit tem um consumo de memória gráfica razoável, mesmo para as máquinas com diferentes especificações de sistema. O programa obteve sucesso em sua execução, além de cumprir sua finalidade para com a medicina nuclear, mostrando-se uma aplicação perfeitamente funcional, para máquinas com diferentes especificações de sistema.
Simulação Monte Carlo de coeficientes de conversão para dosimetria em mamografia

Published: January 2023

A dose glandular média (DGM) é considerada a grandeza dosimétrica mais adequada para avaliar os riscos associados à mamografia, uma vez que o tecido glandular é o mais rádiossensível. No entanto, a DGM não pode ser mensurada diretamente devido a distribuição heterogênea dos tecidos mamários. O método bem estabelecido para determinar esta grandeza é baseado no produto do kerma no ar incidente (Kar) na mama por coeficientes de conversão, denominados dose glandular normalizada (DgN) e calculados pelo método Monte Carlo (MC). Contudo, os coeficientes DgN possuem uma larga variação com as características da mama e do espectro incidente, levando a necessidade do uso de tabelas complexas. Neste trabalho, a correlação entre a DGM e outras grandezas dosimétricas (dose média na mama inteira, dose média na pele e dose média no tecido homogêneo) foi estudada, utilizando o código MC PENELOPE (v. 2018) + PenEasy (v. 2020), com o intuito de determinar novos coeficientes de conversão em mamografia. Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que, no intervalo de energia de interesse em mamografia (15-25 keV), os novos coeficientes de conversão obtidos a partir de medições de dose média na mama inteira ou no tecido homogêneo são aproximadamente constantes para cada característica da mama, enquanto os novos coeficientes de conversão da dose média medida na pele apresentaram uma alta variabilidade nesse intervalo. Dessa forma, os coeficientes de conversão propostos nesse estudo podem ser úteis para a estimativa da DGM a partir da avaliação experimental da dose baseada na distribuição de dose em objetos simuladores, podendo ser utilizados de forma alternativa/complementar aos coeficientes DgN.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal abnormality found in women worldwide. Rotterdam criteria is used to diagnose the PCOS. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is characterized by excessive production of androgen, and it interfere with ripening of ovarian follicles and aetiology is not known. A Clinical Study was carried out to find out the effectiveness of Shuddhabala Taila Matra Vasti in case of polycystic ovary syndrome, at special subfertility clinic, Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda teaching hospital. Sixty PCOS patients were randomly selected according to inclusion, exclusion and diagnostic criteria and randomly divided in to two groups as group A and B. Group A were treated with oral drugs and Group B treated with oral drugs and Matra Vasti for one month, after taking the written consent. Kanchanara guggulu and Punarnawashtaka Panta were used as oral drugs and Shudhabala Taila was used for Matra Vasti. Data was collected through an interview-based questionnaire and findings of day 12 Trans-Vaginal Scan Reports. Data was analysed by using Wilcoxon sign rank test and Mann-Whitney U tests. According to the data, Acne identified as the most common symptom (65%) and hirsutism and boldness were identified as the least common symptoms (51.66%) related to this study. When comparing the treatment efficacy between group A (only oral drug treatment) and group B (oral drugs with Vasti treatment), it shows that the treatment of group B was significantly effective for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with respect to Oligomenorrhea and Dysmenorrhea, while it (treatment of group B) has not shown a significant efficacy over the group A (oral drug treatment) with respect to improvement of endometrial thickness and Follicular maturity, in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome at 5 percent level of significance.
