Gastric and duodenal antiulcer effects of aqueous bark extract of Dialium guineense Wild. (Fabaceae) and the possible mechanisms in laboratory models
Authors: Agbaje Esther Oluwatoyin , Doe Yewa Peace
Published: October 2021

The plant Dialium guineense (DAG) has been claimed by local users, to be effective in the treatment of peptic ulcers, especially, when taken as an aqueous decoction. The present study assessed the antiulcer activity of the plant, as well as explored the possible mechanisms of action of the herbal drug, aside identifying some of the various phytoconstituents, which could be responsible for its antiulcer activity. Different ulcerogens (ethanol 99.9 %, indomethacin 50 mg/kg, cysteamine 400 mg/kg, glacial acetic acid) and the pylorus ligation-induced ulcers were used to induce acute and chronic ulcers, with doses of 100, 300 and 750 mg/kg DAG and the standard drugs relative to each model, while assessing drug activity through ulcer scoring and comparing it with both the negative and positive controls. The extract, which has an LD50 of 1584.89 mg/kg when administered intraperitoneally, recorded a significant (p<0.05) antiulcer effect in all the models used in the study. Similarly, in the pylorus-ligated group, DAG compared effectively with atropine (1 mg/kg) and ranitidine (100 mg/kg), the standard antagonists of the secretagogues- carbachol and histamine employed in the study. The herbal drug produced a significant reduction in gastric juice volume, as well as in the free and the total acidity. The results suggest that DAG possesses a significant antiulcer property through cytoprotective and antisecretory actions, and it could be projected that the presence of secondary metabolites such as tannins, saponins and flavonoids could be responsible for its ulcer protective and healing property. The study therefore validates the folkloric use of DAG in the treatment of peptic ulcer.

Late presentation of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome following liver transplantation in the setting of tacrolimus and cannabis use
Authors: Zhou Felix , Costa Andreu F , McLeod Magnus
Published: October 2021

A 45-year-old female presented to hospital with confusion and visual disturbances. She had undergone a liver transplant 3 years prior for cirrhosis secondary to primary biliary cholangitis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed features consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Her medications included tacrolimus, sirolimus, and prednisone. She reported smoking 4 grams of cannabis per day. Following cessation of tacrolimus, the patient’s encephalopathy and visual disturbances resolved. To our knowledge, this case represents the longest time elapsed from liver transplantation to the development of tacrolimus-associated posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in the literature. This case highlights the potential danger of cannabis use in transplant recipients who are on immunosuppressants such as tacrolimus. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in post-transplant patients presenting with altered mental status, even years after liver transplantation, and be familiar with potential interactions between cannabis and immunosuppressants.

Economic analysis for urbanization impact on food and processing companies use case of Ukraine
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Nazarenko V. A.
Published: October 2021

The paper is devoted to studying the economic and social connections between the urbanization process and agricultural land use in Ukraine. It is worth noting that both urbanization and agriculture require new lands for their future development. The important part of this connection is ecology and effective use of the available resources, as well as land use in the context of urbanization. After all, the process of urbanization can have a significant negative impact on the state of land resources. The research work determines which economic factors of urbanization are the most relevant to the land use in city suburbs and agricultural regions. The article introduces the notion of economic feasibility of land use by purpose and studies cases of food and processing companies. Food and processing industries were chosen as the main research subjects since they are the most promising fields for the future economic development of each individual region and country as a whole. These industries are centered around both import and export, besides producing added value products. Cities without a doubt are the main consumers of food products and at the same time, they drain labor resources from the countryside. In this research work, we studied the global situation in Ukraine, how 21-century urbanization has affected the agricultural sector in the country. This sector has experienced rapid growth in past decades, as opposed to industrial and manufacturing sectors, and increased the national wide level of land use. While the national wide level of urbanization might not be the highest in modern history (20th to 21st century), it continues to have a wide impact on the national economy. The scope of this impact falls outside of this research work as it consists of multidimensional data and a wide range of interdependencies, including policies and regulations. Research models require a large amount of data and cases, that’s why we focused on the food and processing sector in this paper. They proved to be a good test ground to study the urbanization impact patterns as well as make economical modeling more convenient. In this context, the peculiarities of land use models were studied, as food and processing industries use land resources, can be located both inside the city, suburban area, or in remote farmland region. It is evident that cities and businesses form large supply and demand of natural resources, labor, and financial investments.

Community service in order to strengthen the values of Pancasila
Authors: Hastangka Hastangka , Ratmanto K.R.A.P. Eri
Published: October 2021

Pancasila is the basis of the state and the way of life of the Indonesian people. Pancasila as the basis of life as a nation and state is important to be continuously socialized and introduced to the community because the dynamics and changes of society from time to time affect the perspective and attitude of behavior in the life of the nation and state. After the reformation, Pancasila as the value of life for the nation and state was neglected because of the political situation and conditions of reform that focused on democracy, civil supremacy, and upholding human rights. This reduces the role and function of Pancasila in the life of the nation and society. Starting in 2009, a socialization program for the 4 Pillars of Nationality emerged by the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia. The program wanted to introduce Pancasila, but the use of the term became a problem because it included Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika as pillars. The program created by the MPR RI has evolved into the 4 Pillars of the MPR RI. This community service activity aims to educate and strengthen Pancasila values through correct literacy of the history of Pancasila to the community. Pancasila is the basis of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, not a pillar. The model of community service activities is carried out by media education and discussions to the community. The forms of activities carried out are parades and discussions with community and community leaders about the importance of Pancasila as the basis of the state and not pillars which will be held in January-March 2021. The results of this service activity show that first, the public in general does not know developments about Pancasila and its dynamics. which exists. Second, after the socialization of Pancasila values as the basis of the state, people began to understand and understand the development and dynamics of Pancasila. Third, the efforts to raise awareness about the correct knowledge of Pancasila are important for the community.

The purpose of the article is to reveal scientific and applied approaches to the formation of programs for the integrated socio-economic development of united territorial communities (UTC), taking into account the risks of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Research methods. The dialectical toolkit is the basis for the knowledge of the processes and phenomena of spatial development; the monographic method is applied to the analysis of the basic principles of the formation of programs for the integrated socio-economic development of UTC; empirical observations contributed to an overall assessment of the state of the UTC response to the challenges associated with the spread of coronavirus disease; abstract-logical techniques made it possible to do scientific and applied generalizations of the material and formulate final conclusions. Research results. It has been proven that the strategic objectives of the programs for the integrated socio-economic development of the UTC should also be a timely response to force majeure circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Their role in protecting the life and health of the rural population should increase significantly. In addition, the focus of attention should always be the resource base for the implementation of powers through the development of agricultural production and other types of diversified activities, as well as the creation of a favorable environment for decent living conditions, all-round personal development and recreation. It is proposed to develop an analytical and statistical method for measuring the human development index (HDI) in the context of rural UTC, taking as a basis the Method for measuring regional human development (RHD), approved by the Presidium of the NAS of Ukraine and the board of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine dated 13.06.2012 No. 123. Scientific novelty. The indicators for assessing the level of the socio-economic state of UTC in key areas have been generalized. The goals and principles that should form the basis of national programs to support balanced rural development have been clarified. Practical significance. The applied aspects of the study can be taken into account in the formation of programs for the integrated socio-economic development of the UTC, which will increase the effectiveness of government initiatives aimed at supporting the village and increase the readiness of the rural population for force majeure threats.

Published: October 2021

The purpose of the article is to investigate the world experience of GMO management, highlight gaps in the regulation of GM crops in Ukraine and develop recommendations for their elimination, taking into account the best European practices and domestic characteristics. Research methods. In the research process the following methods were used: dialectical methods of cognition of processes and phenomena, monographic method (for analyze the spread of GM crops in the world), statistical (for analyze the dynamics of areas under GM crops in the world), empirical method (for comprehensive assessment of the current state of the use of GMO), abstract and logical methods (for theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions). Research results. In the article the world experience of GMO management was presented. The current state of regulation of the use of GM crops in Ukraine was described and the main directions of its improvement were outlined. Given the lack of registration of GM varieties of agricultural crops in Ukraine, the feasibility of forming an effective system of their registration and implementation of a system of control and monitoring of the cultivation of only registered varieties of agricultural crops was justified. This approach should protect against the spontaneous importation and illegal cultivation of GM crops. In addition, the necessity of introduction of the complex approach to regulation of use of GM crops and GM products in Ukraine and intensification of process of unification of the domestic and European regulatory framework in the field of regulation of the use of GMOs was substantiated. Scientific novelty. The current state of regulation of the use of GM crops and GM products in Ukraine was investigated and prospects for its improvement taking into account the best European practice were outlined. Practical significance. It has been established that there are gaps in the state control over the use of GMOs, as well as in the issues of liability for offenses in the field of GMO management and biosafety. Measures to eliminate them were proposed. Refs.: 12.

Published: October 2021

The purpose of the article is to highlith a new dimension of business that takes place in completely different conditions and that is based primarily on knowledge, creativity and post-modern leadership. Radical changes, in which today's economy and its entities exist and develop, require the new ways of leadership. Hence the modern form of business articulates and gives a critical dimension of leadership, as an interaction between leaders and employees, with the intention to change it, based more on emotional and ethical assumptions than on forced active influence. The aim of the analysis is to determine the professionalism of leadership treatment of employees and what is the projection of the further trend of these relationships, given that this relationship directly affects the motivation of employees in achieving their performance. Research methods. The research was carried out using common scientific approaches and methods, in particular the empirical method.This paper analyzed the different theoretical and practical approaches to the phenomenon of leadership as a result of the changes within which today’s Serbian business and inverse role of this phenomenon occurs. Relevant employee data was collected using the questionnaire method. For the needs of the research, and based on the literature in the field of leadership and experience of the authors, a questionnaire with 40 questions was developed (this is not a standardized questionnaire model, but a personal projection). Research results. The research resulted in the confirmation of the set hypotheses that the performance of the organizations depends on the style of leadership and the characteristics of employees and that leadership is not only the management but also a psychological problem. Research novelty. Leadership in the future imposes an unwritten rule that some things will never be the same, as well as that some new forms will appear that will improve our knowledge, the systems in which we work and general business environment. New leadership will rely on the complex knowledge and innovations that come from employees. Future leaders will be those who make entrepreneurs out of their employees and who create an atmosphere of direct innovation. Serbian companies need to invest much more in the future development of leaders and managers. The research sheds light on the role and importance of leadership as a direct reflection on changes in employee behavior, motivation and increased performance. Practical significance. The results of this research can be applied in all areas of business and economy. Having in mind the contingent approach, the obtained results can be used as a basis for creating the most efficient leadership style possible. Tabl.: 6. Refs.: 20.
