Published: April 2023

The African American (AA) population has a higher incidence and inferior outcomes in most hematologic malignancies when compared to the non- Hispanic White population. The AA population remains grossly underrepresented in clinical trials, yet few studies have evaluated the underrepresentation in the context of belief in research and willingness to participate in clinical trials. The objectives of this study were to determine if a relationship exists between belief in research and willingness to participate, and to assess the feasibility of recruiting AA patients with hematologic malignancies for cancer clinical trials. The study recruited 31 patients with acute leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and multiple myeloma. Questionnaires were used to assess belief in research, religious coping, and willingness to participate. An oncology nurse navigator assisted with recruitment, obtaining consent, and data collection. Study results showed that 63% of participants believed in clinical trials and were willing to participate, and 74% were not informed of clinical trials. A significant association between education and belief in research (P = .01) was observed, yet no relationship was found between belief in research and willingness to participate. Further studies are warranted to investigate the obstacles to clinical trial participation among this population.

Published: April 2023

Активная интродукция ореха грецкого (J. regia L.) в северные регионы связана с большой хозяйственной ценностью вида, в частности, с высоким антимикробным потенциалом растения, благодаря накоплению в его листьях юглона (5-гидрокси-1,4-нафтохинона). Известно, что в процессе интродукции компонентный состав растительных метаболитов может изменяться. В связи с этим, цель данного исследования – оценить антимикробную активность веществ, экстрагированных различными способами из листьев растений-интродуцентов J. regia L, выращенных в Московской области. Наибольшая антимикробная активность, выявленная диско-диффузионным методом, определена для спиртового экстракта листьев J. regia L., наименьшая – для водного экстракта. Таким образом, интродуцированные экземпляры J. regia L. не утрачивают биологической активности в Московском регионе.

The active introduction of the walnut (J. regia L.) to the northern regions is associated with the economic value, in particular the high antimicrobial potential of the plant due to the accumulation of juglon (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). It is known the composition of plant metabolites may change during introduction. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of substances extracted by various methods from leaves of J. regia L., introduced to the Moscow region. The highest antimicrobial activity detected by the discodiffusion method was determined for the alcoholic extract of J. regia L. leaves, the lowest for aqueous extraction. Thus, the biological activity of J. regia L. introduced in the Moscow region does not disappear.

Levels of symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT). II. Convergence of interaction energy components
Authors: Schriber Jeffrey , Cheney Daniel , Sherrill C. David
Published: April 2023

Symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) is a valuable theoretical technique use- ful in quantifying intermolecular interaction energies in terms of four physically meaningful components: electrostatics, exchange-repulsion, induction, and London dispersion. We present a systematic analysis of the convergence of SAPT total and component energies with respect to level of theory and basis set using an extended database of 4567 dimer geometries. Our analysis supports the use of SAPT0/aug-cc-pVDZ over previously recommended sSAPT0/jun-cc-pVDZ as an economical level of SAPT. Our previous recommendations of SAPT2+/aug-cc-pVDZ and SAPT2+(3)δMP2/aug-cc-pVTZ as medium and high cost variants, respectively, remain unchanged. However, SAPT0/aug-cc-pVDZ and SAPT2+/aug-cc-pVDZ total interaction energies on average rely on error cancellations, so their use in parameterizing SAPT-based force fields and intermolecular potentials should be used with caution. SAPT2+(3)δMP2/aug-cc-pVTZ does show quantitatively accurate component energies, making it the preferred choice for all applications when feasible. Lastly, we introduce a focal point technique which approaches the accuracy of SAPT2+(3)δMP2/aug-cc-pVTZ with a significantly reduced cost.
Neutron Diffraction and DFT Studies of Oxygen Defect and Transport in Higher-Order Ruddlesden-Popper Phase Materials
Authors: Yatoo Mudasir , Seymour Ieuan , Skinner Stephen
Published: April 2023

A series of higher-order Ruddlesden-Popper phase materials – La3PrNi3O10-d, La2Pr2Ni3O10-d and LaPr3Ni3O10-d – were synthesised and investigated by neutron powder diffraction to understand the oxygen defect structure and propose possible pathways for oxygen transport in these materials. Further complimentary DFT calculations of the materials were performed to support the experimental analysis. All of the phases were hypostoichiometric and it was observed that the majority of the oxygen vacancies were confined to the perovskite layers, with a preference for equatorial oxygen sites. A particular preference for vacancies in O(1) and O(5) sites at high temperatures was observed from neutron diffraction measurements which were further complimented by DFT calculations wherein the vacancy formation energy was found to be lowest at the O(1) site. Also, a preference for a curved oxygen transport pathway around the NiO6 octahedra was observed which agrees with the published literature for Ruddlesden-Popper phase materials. Lattice parameters for all three compositions showed a linear increase with increasing temperature, but the increase was greatest in the c parameter while the b parameter showed only a slight increase when compared to the a parameter. The thermal expansion coefficient was calculated for all compositions and was found to be in the range 13.0 - 13.4 × 10-6 /˚C, which is compatible with the commonly used electrolyte materials for solid oxide fuel cells.

Authors: Makarenko Tatyana A. , Galkina Darya E. , Borisova Elena A.
Published: April 2023

Endometriosis remains one of the most topical diseases in current gynecology and is a multifactorial condition with an overgrowth of tissue morphologically and functionally similar to the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. One of the most frequently diagnosed forms of endometriosis is endometrioid ovarian cysts. An important feature of the clinical course of ovarian endometriosis is its negative impact on reproductive function and the recurrent nature of the disease, which may require repeated surgeries with even greater damage to the ovarian tissue. Therefore, the development of a long-term drug treatment strategy for patients with a history of endometrioid cysts aimed at preventing recurrences is urgently needed. According to domestic and foreign clinical guidelines, progestagen hormone therapy is recommended as first-line therapy for such patients. One of the most clinically studied drugs with a favorable efficacy and safety profile proven in numerous studies is dienogest. The paper presents the experience of foreign and domestic authors in conservative therapy in patients with a history of endometrioid cysts using dienogest in terms of recurrence prophylaxis.

Aim. Toassess the prevalence of various types of human papillomavirus (HPV) of high carcinogenic risk (HCR) and the rate of abnormal findings of cytological examination in HPV-positive and HPV-negative women of the Kemerovo region.
Materials and methods. A continuous cross-sectional study was conducted. The study included 675 women aged 21 to 65 (mean age 40.510.6 years) residing in the Kemerovo region. Patients were sampled from the cervical canal for semi-quantitative HPV-typing and cytological examination with Papanicolaou staining (PAP-test) using a liquid-based cytology method. For HPV-positive patients, an HPV typing with the quantification of 14 HCR HPV types was performed by polymerase chain reaction with real-time detection. Statistical data processing was performed using the StatSoft Statistica 6.1 software bundle.
Results. The mean rate of HCR HPV detection in women of the Kemerovo region in the age group of 2165 years is 17.8% and decreases with age. HPV type 16 prevailed and was detected in 31.6% of women. In 19.2% of women, the HPV subtype 31 was diagnosed; in 18.3%, the subtype 35; in 16.7%, the subtype 33. The HPV subtypes 39, 56, and 66 were the rarest. One subtype of HCR HPV was detected in 26.7% of women, two subtypes in 6.7%, and three or more subtypes in 66.6% of women. According to the cytological examination, CIN 1, 2, and 3 rates were 3.3, 0.8, and 0.7%, respectively. HSIL (CIN 23) was detected in 1.5% of cases, LSIL (CIN 1) in 3.3%. The rate of CIN 1 in HPV(+) women was higher: 13.3% vs 1.0% in HPV(-) (2=43.197; p0.001). CIN 2 and CIN 3 were reported in HPV(+) patients only. HSIL+ was diagnosed in 7.9% of HPV(+) females (2=39.778; p0.001).
Conclusion. Thus, the study results showed that the mean infection rate of HCR HPV in women of the Kemerovo region at the age of 2165 years is 17.8% and decreases with age. HPV subtype 16 is predominant; subtypes 31, 35, and 33 were less common. In HPV-positive women, abnormal findings of cytological examination were significantly more common.

Authors: Ramanan Sonumol , Rose Sumi
Published: April 2023

Background Musculoskeletal fitness is one of the most important health indicators that supports optimal physical functioning. College students represent the majority of human population and studies involving them will give valuable knowledge which can be used for health functions.Objective To evaluate the relationship between body mass index BMI and musculoskeletal fitness among Health Science college students.Method This correlational study included 344 college students aged 18-25 years. Musculoskeletal fitness was measured using FITNESSGRAM test batteries. Height and weight were evaluated with standardized procedures and body mass index was derived by the formula BMI weightkgheightm2 . Pearson correlations were used to find out relationship between body mass index and the measures of musculoskeletal fitness.Results Negative correlation was observed between BMI and parameters of FITNESSGRAM test batteries which included Curl up Trunk lift 900 Push up and Back saver sit and reach. This indicates that if BMI increases then musculoskeletal fitness decreases. Trunk lift and Back saver sit and reach when analysed with BMI showed statistically significant relationship with the p value of 0.000 each whereas the curl up and push up showed negative correlation with BMI but was statistically insignificant. Hence we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis which stated that there is a correlation between BMI and musculoskeletal fitness in Health Science students.Conclusion The study has concluded that BMI is negatively related with the parameters of the FITNESSGRAM test batteries that were used to measure the musculoskeletal fitness. The study indicated that when BMI increases musculoskeletal fitness decreases. Further research efforts should be focused towards promoting implementation of activities with the goal of enhancing the musculoskeletal fitness in this demographic group.

Suburb as a socio-spatial phenomenon and post-socialist city
Authors: Lozynskyi Roman
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the history of the emergence of the socio-spatial phenomenon of the suburbs in the Western world and in Ukraine. A comparison of suburbs in the Soviet Union (with regard to suburban villages, dachas and microraiony) and suburbs in the United States and Canada is presented. An understanding of the suburbs and its architectural / urban planning environment from the perspective of social theory is presented. It was found that the suburbs and their architectural environment were used in the propaganda of the United States and the Soviet Union to produce certain cultural meanings with economic and political consequences.

The subtleties of using the concept of the suburbs in the post-socialist context were considered. Based on the main socio-geographical characteristics of suburban areas of Ukrainian cities, it was found that the use of the concept of suburbs requires theoretical analysis in the post-socialist context and its distinction with the concepts of suburbia (direct imitation, written in Ukrainian as “субурбія”) and suburban space (“prymiskyi prostir”). It is argued that the spatial criterion and the criterion of connection with the city (suitable for the allocation of suburban space and suburban area) are insufficient to define the suburbs and do not reflect the complexity of this phenomenon. Important criteria for the allocation of suburbs are also the social status of residents, their daily practices, place and type of employment and leisure activities, which can be summarized as the identity of residents, as well as the type of residential architecture and character of everyday landscapes.

It was found that because Ukrainian suburban spaces are eclectic with a mixture of different social classes and housing, retain their rural face with the presence of farming, the concept of peri-urban or rural-urban fringe is a better term to describe the suburban area of post-socialist cities than the suburbs. Only certain parts of the suburban spaces tend to become American style suburbs with a predominance of single-family houses, one social class and car use. The theoretical features of understanding the phenomenon of the suburbs and more successful concepts for its definition in post-socialist conditions are important for the creation of more socially thought-out urban planning documentation and strategy for their development taking into account local characteristics.

Authors: Andrusiak Natalia , Anipko Nataliia
Published: April 2023

The role architectural ensemble of Metropolitans Residence of Bukovina and Dalmatia in the formation of the Chernivtsi tourist image was analyzed in the article. Metropolitans Residence of Bukovina and Dalmatia is one of the the most popular tourist sites in Ukraine. The quantitative indicators of the monument’s attendance by tourists from Ukraine and abroad in the period from 2018 to 2021 are analyzed. Ways and measures have been identified that would increase the number of visitors to the Metropolitans Residence of Bukovina and Dalmatia. One of the four aspects of the tourist image of the city was identified – the real image of Chernivtsi. For this purpose, a questionnaire was developed and a questionnaire was conducted among tourists from different regions of Ukraine who visited the city of Chernivtsi and the Residence of the Metropolitans of Bukovina and Dalmatia.

The purpose of the survey was to determine the impressions of tourists after visiting the monument and to find out, in their opinion, its role in forming a positive image of the city of Chernivtsi. 2,500 people of different ages took part in the survey. Questionnaire survey (11 questions) was conducted by online e-mail, google-forms and by survey on social networks.

The survey revealed the real image of Chernivtsi and the role of the architectural ensemble of the Metropolitans Residence in its formation.

The role of social factors has increased significantly in modern society. Education is essential for raising the intellectual and cultural level of inhabitants in any country. The purpose of this article is to analyze modern state of preschool education in different parts of Ukraine and to point at regional disparities in accessibility of preschool education services. This article gives analysis to modern state of preschool education in different parts of Ukraine. Research was based on several indicators such as number of children involved in preschool education, number of preschools in different regions of Ukraine, preschool enrollment rates and number of children actually attending preschools per 100 available places. Level of development of preschool education in cities and rural areas has been studied in regional context of Ukraine. It was also calculated social density of preschools and indexes of both territorial concentration and localization of preschools in the country. Social density of preschools was also analyzed in the study.

The highest social density of preschools is typical for the capital of Ukraine – the city of Kiev. The lowest social density of preschool sector services is typical for Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv and Luhansk regions. The highest concentration of preschools is observed in Kyiv city, and low territorial concentration index is observed in Sumy, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Kirovohrad regions, Kherson region, Chernihiv region and Luhansk region. High localization index values were observed in Khmelnytsky and Ternopil regions, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy regions, Vinnytsia region, Mykolaiv, Zakarpattia, Rivne, Kirovohrad and Volyn regions and the lowest localization index values were observed in Kyiv city, Kharkiv region, Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Regions of Ukraine have been ranked and grouped in types according to their level of preschool education development. According to the results of the study, three types of regions have been identified. Regions (oblast) of Cherkasy, Khmelnytsky, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Ternopil and Zakarpattia have been included in the first type (high level of preschool education development). The second type (average level of preschool education development) includes city of Kyiv and regions (oblast) of Zhytomyr, Rivne, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernivtsi, Sumy, Kherson, Kirovohrad, Poltava and Kharkiv. Regions (oblast) of Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernihiv, Lviv, Odessa, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Luhansk have been included in the third type (low level of preschool education development).

The article raises the issue of comprehensive human-geographical research of administrative-territorial units formed as a result of reforming the administrative-territorial structure of Ukraine. The human-geographical meaning of the concept of "administrative district capacity" as its ability to function effectively in accordance with natural, demographic and economic potentials is introduced and revealed. Using a cartographic method, a series of analytical maps elaborated, which revealed significant spatial heterogeneity in terms of territorial communities of Stryi Raion (district) in terms of providing by land resources, population and settlement density, level of urbanization, general budget revenues per unit area and per capita, taфability index.

Based on the Methodology for the Formation of Capable Territorial Communities (2020), groups of territorial communities with high (3.9 – 4.6) and medium (3.2 – 3.8) levels of capacity identified at the studied area. Elaboration of the approved strategies for the development of territorial communities made it possible to summarize the priority areas of economic development of the district: tourism and recreational, transport and logistical, agrarian, industrial. Clustering is proposed as an effective process of territorial organization of the economy of Stryi Raion. The need to transform the city-forming functions of the former district centers (Zhydachiv, Mykolaiv, Skole) into new economic realities is emphasized.

Given the prospects for the development of the Chinese tourism market, we consider it appropriate to thoroughly study the impact of Chinese conditions on the global tourism industry and China's international tourism positioning. Literary analysis of Chinese tourism research has shown a growing interest in this issue since the 2010s. Most scholars, tourism practitioners, government officials and professionals in tourism agencies agree that the Chinese tourism market has mega potential and high development dynamics. However, while scientific reviews of the past decade have focused exclusively on researching the travel geography of Chinese travelers and the dynamics of Chinese outbound tourism, modern work provides a deep understanding of Chinese tourists' behavior and experiences and highlights negative aspects of Chinese mass tourism. In this article, the author specifies China's place in the global tourism market, using quantitative data and tourism indices. In particular, after ranking the world countries on key quantitative indicators of the level of development of the tourism industry (number of tourists, number of international tourist arrivals, number of revenues from tourism), China's strong position was revealed (3rd, 4th and 11th respectively).Graphs of changes in the number of international tourist arrivals and cash inflows from tourism showed a positive trend. In particular, in 2019 a record was reached among the number of tourists and the number of tourist arrivals in China for the entire research period.

At the same time, it should be noted that the Covid-19 pandemic has not bypassed China's tourism sector and in 2020 the number of international tourist arrivals decreased fivefold (this is the lowest figure for the country in the history of collecting international tourism statistics, since 1995). revenues from international tourists reached 14.2 billion dollars. (less than ever in the last 20 years). The prospects of the Chinese market and optimistic dynamics of its development were evidenced by the highest rating indices in the field of tourism and travel − Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (2019) and Travel & Tourism Development Index (2021), where China ranked 13th and 12th respectively. Thus, quantitative indicators and integrated indices have confirmed China's important position in the tourism market and allow us to predict their stable strengthening and China's short-term world leadership in the tourism sector.
RUSCISM AS A NEW VERSION OF TOTALITARIANISM
Authors: Romanyuk Oleksandr
Published: April 2023

This paper is devoted to clarifying the essence of ruscism as a phenomenon of modern socio-political reality. It is noted that the concept of ruscism appeared in public and scientific circulation as a result of the formation of Putin's regime in Russia, and its spread is connected with the beginning of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. Although this concept has already received its interpretations in the publications of a number of analysts, there is still no complete conceptual understanding of it. The author believes that the conceptual understanding of ruscism should be carried out within the framework of totalitarian studies, since it is a new version of totalitarianism. The idea of ruscism as a simple imitation of fascism and Nazism is refuted. The emphasis is placed on his historical Russian roots.

Attention is drawn to the facts that, firstly, Russian statehood originates in the Golden Horde, from which it inherited the despotic character of government and aggressive foreign policy; secondly, Russia has never had long periods of democratic rule in the course of its historical development; thirdly, the first totalitarian regime in the modern world arose precisely in Russia; fourthly, under Stalin, it acquired the greatest totalitarian quality in history. The author emphasizes that ruscism cannot be considered a simple resuscitation of Stalinism, because it arose in the new historical conditions of the development of both Russia and its international environment, which determined its peculiarities.

The peculiarities of ruscism as a new version of totalitarianism are that: the creation of a totalitarian party, the formation of a broad totalitarian movement, and the development of a totalitarian doctrine took place already after Putin acquired state power; the Russian political system is formally multi-party; the control of the political regime over the functioning of the economy is carried out not so much by formal state institutions as by Putin's informal clan.
DIGTIAL TECHNOLOGIES IN COMBATING GLOBAL CORRUPTION
Authors: Vinnykova Nataliya
Published: April 2023

A transnationalization of corruption practices, born by globalization processes, is one of nowadays negative phenomenon that deserves intensive studying. Digital technologies smooth the pathways for transnational corruption. On the other hand, digitalization also provides tools for building up respective countermeasures. This article examines the potential of digital technologies, primarily artificial intelligence (AI), in preventing corruption practices.

Firstly, the characteristics of the «global corruption» phenomenon are outlined. The experience of implementing digital technologies in the corruption countermeasures has been analysed that revealed problems and prospective trends in the development of digital anti-corruption mechanisms at the supra-national level of governance. Digital tools for detecting and tracking of transnational corruption schemes were described in the framework of international journalistic investigations or anti-corruption control technologies in the European Union. One of key factors preventing the effective application of AI against the transnational corruption is the lack of the consolidated international regulatory regime for data evaluation. However, AI is ambivalent for both fighting corruption and creation new corruption pathways. Arguments in support of the distributed ledger technologies as the promising corruption-preventing techniques are provided. The study discloses factors inhibiting the scaling of the implementation of blockchain or smart contracts as mechanisms of reducing the risks of corruption. The need to develop international standards for the use of AI technologies in the fight against corruption practices is emphasized. The creation of a transnational structure with appropriate rule-making and control powers in this area becomes extremely important.
