Authors: Umar Savikri Misbahul , Putranto Thomas Triadi , Pangestuti Dina Rahayuning , Susanto Novie , Santi Narulita
Published: December 2024

The amount of available water is becoming more scarce due to increased human demand. As a result, people are now obtaining their water from limited aquifers or deep groundwater from artesian water sources. Nonetheless, the varied properties of the soil and rocks within it do not ensure that the groundwater's quality remains safe from microorganisms or germs. Coliform, one of the bacteria or microorganisms that can increase in groundwater due to variations in the rock lithologies found in different regions. Analysis of coliform bacteria distribution was carried out in 30 drilled wells from confined aquifers spread across the city of Semarang. This research identified total coliforms using the Most Probable Numbers (MPN) method. The presence of coliform bacteria in certain wells was compared with the characteristics of rocks, where in this study area there are several rock lithologies such as volcanic breccia, andesite, pyroclastic breccia, lava, and clay. As for the results of this analysis, it was found that 10% of the samples contained total coliforms that exceeded the maximum limit of 50 CFU/100 ml, where the lithology with the highest total coliform content was found in the basalt area with the highest results, namely TNTC (Too Numerous to Count).

Authors: Bontong Septepanus Gala , Permadi Didin Agustian , Benjamin Precious
Published: December 2024

Metropolitan cities are often associated with anthropogenic activities that affect air quality. Tangerang, as a buffer city in the Greater Jakarta area, needs control strategies to tackle  severe air pollution problem. Government Regulation No. 22/2021 requires the establishment of Air Quality Protection and Management Areas (AQPMA) in every city, including Tangerang. The determination of AQPMA involve emissions inventories, air quality, population density, land use, and meteorological conditions, using secondary data and air quality modeling with AERMOD. The results of the emission inventory show that the largest contribution comes from the manufacturing and road transportation industries, with NOx 19,747, CO 556,341, PM10 27,001, PM2.5 22,080, SO2 2,233, and NMVOC 295,482 (in Gigagrams/year). The result of the air model  then accordance with measurements at AQMS Pasir Jaya in 2022. The average annual concentration results at this station are NOx 35, CO 1,200, PM10 38, PM2.5 39, and SO2 7.5 (in μg/m3). Ciledug is the sub-district with the highest population density, which is 19,233 people/km2. Based on AQPMA scores, eight very high-risk sub-districts must be a priority in mitigating clean air in Tangerang. A similar approach can be used in other cities to map vulnerability to air pollution as mandated by AQPMA.
Unveiling the Dynamic Between Land Conversion and Food Security of Farmers Households in Bakalan Village, Pasuruan Regency
Authors: Novianty Puput Cindy , Soemarno Soemarno , Efani Anthon , Bushron Raushanfikr
Published: December 2024

System Dynamics serves as an approach to unravel behavioral patterns by exploring fundamental structures. In this study, the dynamic system was crafted using STELLA software. The research methodology involved conducting primary surveys with both farmers and conversion farmers' households to gather essential data on their perspectives, practices, and circumstances related to land conversion and food security. Through this data, the System Dynamic model was constructed to depict the interplay among key variables impacting food security, specifically focusing on Food Availability, Affordability, and Needs. The analysis revealed that the Food Affordability indicator consistently played a pivotal role in shaping these trends over the analyzed years. However, a significant discrepancy in food security levels emerged between farming and non-farming households. This divergence primarily stemmed from income inequalities within the agricultural sector, affecting the purchasing power for essential foods like rice across the village. Additionally, a concerning trend of diminishing agricultural land and a subsequent decline in food availability was observed.
Potensi Pola Perjalanan Wisata Berdasarkan Interpretasi Wisata Warisan (Studi Kasus Situs Pugung Raharjo Lampung Timur)
Authors: Silalahi Agnes Tresia
Published: December 2024

Great nations must be involved in preserving heritage sites to establish a real connection between a nation's past, present, and future. One of them is the Pugung Raharjo Site, which depicts the history and culture of the past Lampung people. Increasing awareness of the Site allows everyone worldwide to share ownership and responsibility for the Pugung Raharajo Archaeological Site. One effort is to identify potential tourist travel patterns so that the site will become a symbol of modernity and function as a wall to prevent the deconstruction of modernity. The qualitative method used in this research is a basis for interpreting history and culture data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews, and literature study. Potential travel patterns formed. Three travel patterns are formed based on motivation, distance, and time between destinations. The first travel pattern is the travel pattern of tourists who want to know the experiences and knowledge of the history and culture of Lampung society at the Pugung Raharjo site and its related destinations. The next pattern is the travel pattern of tourists who want to know the experience and knowledge of the formation of history and culture at the Pugung Raharjo Site from the Hindu-Buddhist Kingdom era and the Islamic Kingdom era. Interpretation and connection between history and culture are the main things in creating travel patterns. The travel patterns that are formed in the future can be used as a marketing strategy for destinations and tour packages so that destination development can have a wider impact.

Published: December 2024

A field experiment was conducted at the Regional Research Station, Vriddhachalam, India, during the summer of 2023, kharif 2023 and summer season of 2024 to evaluate the yield and nutrient dynamics of mechanized sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivation. The experiment consisted of four crop establishment methods in the main plot: Inclined plate planter with pelletized seeds (M1), Pneumatic precision planter with pelletized seeds (M2), Pneumatic precision planter without pelletized seeds (M3) and Manual line sowing (M4) and four weed management and harvesting methods were assigned to the subplot: Quizalofop ethyl + reaper binder (S1), Quizalofop ethyl + manual harvest (S2), Hand weeding + reaper binder (S3) and Hand weeding + manual harvest (S4) in a split-plot design with three replications. Three seasonal results revealed that line sowing (M4) consistently outperformed other crop establishment techniques regarding seed and stalk yields and nutrient uptake of sesame at 30 days after sowing (DAS), 60 DAS and maturity stages. Hand weeding with either reaper binder (S3) or manual harvesting (S4) recorded the best results in sesame yield and nutrient uptake. Concerning post-harvest soil nutrient status, the crop establishment method by Pneumatic precision planter without pelletized seeds (M3) and in terms of weed management and harvesting method, Quizalofop ethyl + manual harvest (S2) recorded higher post-harvest soil available nutrient status. Hence, it is inferred that sowing sesame in lines and performing manual weeding and harvesting it either manually or using a reaper binder is the best combination that foraged the maximum nutrients and increased yields.
Microstructural and Mechanical Characterization of Spray-Formed and Vacuum Cast AISI 440C-Mod Martensitic Stainless Steel
Authors: Rodríguez V. , Nadimpalli V. K. , Pedersen D. B. , Ruiz A. , Somers M. A. J.
Published: December 2024

The spray-forming process is a promising processing route for producing high-performance high-carbon steels. In this study, as-received and hardened/tempered spray-formed (SF) AISI 440C-Mod steel is compared to its vacuum cast (VaC) counterpart. For materials microstructure characterization scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction were utilized. For the characterization of the mechanical properties and performance hardness, tensile, and compression testing were performed. The results show that the SF steel has a microstructure that is very different from the VaC condition. The differences in the microstructure of the steels after the different processing routes can be explained consistently by differences in the solidification rate and the rate of subsequent cooling of the solidified structure. In particular, the identity, morphology, and size of the primary carbides depend strongly on the combination of solidification and cooling rates. The differences in microstructures have a decisive influence on the mechanical properties of as-manufactured and hardened/tempered steels. The present findings demonstrate the potential of spray forming to produce high-performance AISI 440C-Mod martensitic stainless steel with improved mechanical properties compared to VaC steel.

Published: December 2024

Using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), nickel-free austenitic stainless steel was manufactured from mixing AISI 420S martensitic stainless-steel powder with austenite-stabilizing components. Chromium nitride (Cr2N), chromium carbide (Cr3C2), chromium (Cr) and graphite (C) powder were admixed in different quantities. The resulting microstructures were investigated using light- and electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and hardness indentations. Nitrogen, carbon, and chromium from the admixed powders were dissolved in solid solution; no remnants of nitrides/carbides were identified. The as-built specimens had a lower nitrogen content than the mixed powders. Insufficient additions of austenite-stabilizing elements resulted in a dual-phase microstructure of austenite and martensite, which experienced in-situ tempering of martensite during fusion of consecutive layer(s) in the L-PBF process. Relatively high contents of austenite-stabilizing elements resulted in a fully austenitic microstructure with a hardness of 380–500 HV5, depending on Cr and interstitial content. The tendency for forming hot cracks was found to correlate with the solidification interval as calculated using a modified version of the Scheil-Gulliver model.

Published: December 2024

O Antropoceno evidencia o protagonismo das ações antrópicas nas alterações ecossistêmicas do planeta. As mudanças estão dadas e os efeitos vêm sendo percebidos também em eventos que, apesar de serem tidos como extremos, são esperados com mais frequência. Compreender o Antropoceno enquanto fase de transição, convida pensar na sua superação a partir de uma perspectiva mais-que-humana, que questione a centralidade do debate no homem e no capital. O artigo apresenta, como objeto de estudo, a Petrópolis pós-desastre socioambiental de 2022 sob a perspectiva da dissociação das dinâmicas da natureza ao longo de seu processo de urbanização. O processo de domesticação e controle sobre a natureza revela conspiradores ferais desse transtorno: a chuva, a terra e a lama. Exercitar a interpretação do Antropoceno e da lente mais-que-humana na paisagem serrana deixa evidente a necessidade de firmar novos compromissos para redirecionar a rota, ensaiado na última parte deste artigo.
SOBREVIVÊNCIAS DE CIDADES-RUÍNAS PÓS BARRAGEM DE ITAPARICA
Authors: Guida Carolina , Trevisan Ricardo
Published: December 2024

Desde o período colonial até a contemporaneidade, a perenidade do Rio São Francisco em plena região semiárida demarca um motivo primordial para atrair comunidades e consolidar cidades. Após 1970, porém, ao contrário de fundarem cidades, as águas do São Francisco afundaram as mesmas pela construção de usinas hidrelétricas e respectivos represamentos. Com o objetivo de expandir a oferta energética na região e promover o desenvolvimento econômico das áreas vulneráveis no Nordeste, a construção de tais infraestruturas acabaram por inundar inúmeros assentamentos às margens do Velho Chico. Consequentemente, centenas de famílias foram compulsoriamente transferidas para novas cidades, as “cidades barrageiras”. Num ato de resistência ao silenciamento, no presente trabalho serão analisadas as ruínas materiais de três cidades submersas pela ação antrópica, que deram lugar às respectivas “cidades barrageiras” de Petrolândia (PE), Itacuruba (PE) e Rodelas (BA) – realocadas em decorrência da construção da Usina Hidrelétrica de Itaparica (1988) entre os estados de Pernambuco e Bahia. Mediante o método-montagem benjaminiano e respectivas interpretações, assim como uso de procedimentos de caráter histórico-investigativo e cartográfico, busca-se, à contrapelo, documentar e mapear tais reminiscências e, assim, dar voz a novas formas de pensar e articular a paisagem, resistindo à eminente constante de desaparecimento.

Ecologically functioning soils are increasingly viewed as a key component of sustainable agriculture, a means of sequestering carbon and a major contributor to farmland biodiversity. It is generally considered that intensively managed agricultural systems are associated with reduced soil health and require high chemical inputs to maintain soil nutrients. It is important, therefore, to clarify which soil parameters exhibit clear differences between high- and low-intensity farm management and, subsequently, which parameters might then be considered as meaningful indicators of soil health. This study investigated 30 physico-chemical properties of soils collected from 31 Irish farms. Although several soil parameters showed clear differences between the two study areas (Counties Sligo and Wexford), a much smaller subset of properties showed meaningful differences among intensively, intermediately and extensively managed farms. The clearest patterns were shown by several, co-correlated, carbon-based properties, which were all lower in farms under intensive management. The average total carbon content of intensively managed farms was <5%, and we suggest that this might be used as an initial threshold indicator of a degraded and/or low-carbon soil for Irish farms. In general, our study adds additional support for the use of carbon-based parameters as indicators of farm soil health, but further work is needed to ascertain whether different calibrations are required in different regions and for different soil types. In a wider ecological capacity, soil carbon could be included in a suite of environmental and ecological indicators, such as habitat heterogeneity, floral richness and invertebrate diversity, already proposed as measures of farm nature value.
Scoring Heimat
Authors: Fuchs Maria
Published: December 2024

The idea of a nature removed from modern civilization has shaped an enduring sense of Heimat in German culture since the Romantic period and was rendered in the images and sounds of the twentieth-century Heimatfilm. Giuseppe Becce’s symphonic underscoring of Ludwig Ganghofer’s Das Schweigen im Walde (1955) exemplifies (following Tom Gunning) “musical landscapes of attraction,” specifically how musical topoi of Heimat entered into the cultural unconscious of the postwar Heimatfilm. By contrast, Julian Pölsler’s 2012 cinematic adaptation of Marlen Haushofer’s 1963 dystopian novel The Wall uses excerpts from Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin in “landscapes with musical attractions,” which create a distinctly modern and anti-Romantic sense of nature. These two oppositional deployments of music not only epitomize the difference between “unheard” generic underscoring and “heard” masterworks of classical music, but manifest the dialectical relationship between Heimat and anti-Heimat in post–World War II German culture.
Tarantino’s Auteurist Anachronisms
Authors: Swanson Cole D.
Published: December 2024

With a penchant for provocation, Quentin Tarantino has an unmistakably postmodern approach to soundtrack design. As an archetypal “melomane” auteur (Gorbman 2007), he frequently juxtaposes the iconic and the ironic, making use of late sixties pop-rock and the music of seventies genre films—spaghetti westerns, Blaxploitation, horror—in surprising and occasionally disturbing ways (Garner 2001, Tincknell 2006, Coulthard 2012). The latter half of his career has been explicitly oriented around historical revisionism, utilizing this music to imagine what “might have been” if life were more like cinema (Garner 2013). But, in his 2012 antebellum western Django Unchained, Tarantino makes use of two works from the Classical-Romantic canon that don’t fit neatly within his normal approach: the Dies irae from Verdi’s Requiem and Beethoven’s “Für Elise.” This music stands out as anachronistic, rupturing the historical and stylistic logic at work within the film, as well as Tarantino’s oeuvre more broadly.

This article explores the surprising inclusion of nineteenth-century music within Tarantino’s constructed film-world, bound as his texts typically are within his highly specific audiophilic and cinephilic taste. The tangible break from his signature style offers an opportunity to assess the limitations of auteurist control itself, to consider how and why an auteur may temporarily decenter their own musical preferences. I interpret this as a conscious strategy of audiovisual rupture, in which Tarantino intentionally destabilizes his constructed film-world as a method of historical critique.

The analysis focuses on a scene set to Verdi’s Dies irae, in which Tarantino restages the famous climax of The Birth of a Nation (D.W. Griffiths, 1915) set to Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.” This sequence revives Griffith’s work and its racist ideology in order to parody it, temporarily surrendering control of the film’s historical imagination only to reclaim it and imagine other possibilities. This push-and-pull suffuses the narrative of Django Unchained as a whole, concerned as it is with the hero’s journey toward self-determination. I argue that Tarantino’s use of nineteenth-century music reveals tensions around control and liberation, speaking to his anxieties as a filmmaker and his philosophy around historical revisionism.
Simulator for Teaching Computed Tomography Principle
Authors: Voda Petr , Kordek David , Jezbera Daniel , Masopust Pavel , Bezrouk Ales
Published: December 2024

Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most important imaging methods in clinical medical practice. Students of medicine have an opportunity to learn about its principles during the classes of the medical biophysics. For a high-quality understanding of the function of CT and to increase the curriculum attractiveness, it is advisable to include such clinical equipment or its simulator in the practical lessons. However, regarding operational safety and related maintenance, CT devices are very expensive and demanding. Therefore, the aim of this work was to create a cheap, operationally easy, and safe CT simulator. The device simulates the principle of CT by transmitting visible light through cubes with a built-in filter of defined attenuation simulating various human tissues. During hands-on training, students first measure radiation intensities without a sample (I0) and with single cubes (Ii). In the second task, students measure a matrix consisting of four different cubes, irradiating the matrix from different directions and simulating the CT principle. Based on the measurements, the students calculate the linear attenuation of each cube and the corresponding CT numbers and compare the results. The simulator's control is intuitive, provided measurement results are consistent and automatically fed into an interactive report that compares the measured data with the students' calculations, verifies the results, and finally stores them in the database. The main benefit of the study is to bring cheap and effective tools for the demonstration of the CT principle, which can operate each student during the practical lessons, followed by supporting teaching materials.
Research on the history of studying alluvial titanium deposits (using the example of the Volyn titanium-bearing region, the slope of the Ukrainian shield)
Authors: Merezhko Mariia
Published: December 2024

This article explores the historical progression of research into titanium-bearing alluvial deposits, focusing on the Volyn titanium-bearing region in Ukraine. The study highlights three primary stages of exploration: the early period, the Soviet era, and the contemporary period following Ukraine’s independence, each representing a unique phase in the understanding and utilization of titanium mineral resources.
During the early period, titanium minerals were occasionally mentioned in studies, mostly as incidental observations of titanium-bearing crystalline rocks, with limited systematic interest in their exploration. However, the Soviet era marked a transformative phase in the study of these resources. As demand for rare elements surged, comprehensive geological exploration efforts intensified. Geological expeditions and research groups were established, laying the groundwork for a more structured approach to titanium resource exploration. This era also saw the formation of the “Ukrainian Titanium School”, which brought together researchers and production teams for collaborative study and development of titanium deposits.
The contemporary period, beginning in 1991, is characterized by advancements in methodologies and technologies. Research on titan-zirconium placers in the Volyn region has continued, now emphasizing the role of modern techniques, including Geographic Information Systems. The ongoing collaboration between research institutions and production enterprises, exemplified by the Ukrainian Titanium School, has driven significant progress in the field, facilitating a foundation for further industry development.
Despite the considerable advancements in understanding titanium deposits, challenges persist, underscoring the need for continuous research and the integration of innovative methods. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of the rational utilization of titanium resources in driving Ukraine’s economic growth, creating new employment opportunities, and attracting investments in titanium extraction and processing.
MANIFESTATIONS OF MODERN FLUID DYNAMICS OF THE KORSUN-NOVOMYRHOROD PLUTON WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE SIVACH QUARRY
Authors: Skopychenko I.M.
Published: December 2024

The question of modern gas emanations was left out of the attention of previous studies of the Ukrainian Shield. In order to determine the current fluidodynamic situation, a study was conducted in the areas where the rooting of the pink granites of the Korsun-Novomyrhorod pluton into the Rapakivi granites within the Sivach quarry was recorded. In the Sivach quarry, a study of the gas composition in the rocks exposed by the workings and in water was conducted for the first time. The peculiarity of the result is the establishment of close gas parameters in the exhausted Zhytomyr pit, that is, it is possible to consider the similarity of the gas state of the northwestern and central parts of the shield. The indicator of i-butanes is the most characteristic of the USh gas mixture. During the field work, for the second time, after 1984, the presence of pink granite outcrops and pegmatite veins of the Korsun-Novomyrhorod pluton, breaking through the rapakivi granites in this quarry, was established. Quarry waters can act as a screen for gases migrating through densified areas of the Ukrainian shield, and partially absorb them and transfer them to adjacent areas. Similar processes of redistribution of gases in the lithosphere at different depths have been established in the sedimentary and sedimentary-volcanogenic strata of the Dnipro-Donetsk depression and in the coal-bearing massifs of the Donetsk basin, which was reflected in previous works.

The object of studying the distribution of REE in crystal schists and enderbites of the mafic-enderbite formation of the Dniester-Buh megablock of the Ukrainian Shield. Crystal schists of basic and ultrabasic composition are found in the form of xenoliths of various sizes among enderbites. In the Chronostratigraphic scheme, crystal schists are assigned to the Paleoarchean Tivriv stratum of the Dniester-Buh series. By chemical composition, they are tholeiitic basalts with SiO2 content of 47-54%. The spectrum of REE distribution in the main crystalline schists is characterized by an unfractionated character with the absence of Eu-anomaly, which indicates the mantle depths of melt nucleation. The ratio (La/Lu)N = 1.01-3.18 corresponds to a gentle to slightly inclined REE distribution spectrum. The amount of REE is 28-79 ppm. Rocks with a similar distribution of REE in greenstone belts are assigned to the TH-1 type and are considered as such that they cannot be sources for tonalite. A similar spectrum of REE distribution probably indicates the independent existence of crystal schists and enderbites, that is, the dike character of crystal schists. Crystal schists with a higher amount of REE (125-174 ppm) are more fractionated, have small negative Eu-anomalies. They are similar to the TH-2 type, which, according to K. Condi, can be a source for tonalites. The study of zircons in the basic schists and pyroxenites suggests a later formation of mafic rocks compared to enderbite-gneisses. Petrochemical enderbits by signs, they belong to the tonalite-trondijemite-granodiorite series (TTG), they occupy the field of calcareous-alkaline rocks. Depleted in REE, with an amount of 52-100 ppm. The degree of fractionation is maximum in crustal enderbites of the Podilsk block. A characteristic feature of the distribution of REE in Pobuzhya enderbites is the presence of a positive European anomaly, which is characteristic of the lower crust as a result of the removal of granitic melts from it.

“Activism Is a Good Means to Connect Things”: Brokering as World-Making Against Competitive Tendering in Newcomer Support
Authors: Van der Veer Lieke
Published: December 2024

Neoliberal reform of welfare and integration regimes affects service provisioning for migrants and refugees across Europe. This article studies the effects of competitive tenders (aanbestedingen) as a modality of such reform on the political possibilities of small-scale grassroots initiatives that support recent newcomers in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This article studies these dynamics from the perspective of activists who self-identify as brokers and who assist the organisers of these small-scale initiatives. So far, existing research has rarely looked at the interstices of literature on brokerage and literature of neoliberal reform nor applied literature on neoliberal reform of the nexus of integration/welfare governance in cities—despite evidence that brokers have appeared as critical figures in the context of neoliberalisation and (re)politicisation. Brokerage and neoliberal reform are part and parcel of urban theorising and so are collaborative dimensions to urban governance, urban approaches to asylum and integration, and urban inequalities. Combining studies on brokerage with studies of neoliberal reform, this article shows that brokers make use of their positioning in-between the city administration and small-scale grassroots organisations to engage in a form of world-making that re-connects resistance to depoliticised elements of arrival infrastructure—while trying to help small-scale support initiatives to formalise. The main argument is that the interplay between informal and formal infrastructure gives unique insight into the political-economic dimensions of infrastructuring and to constitutive contradictions that underpin neoliberalisation. It is based on long-term ethnographic research, including a year of full-time fieldwork in Delfshaven, a classic arrival quarter.

The theme of bilingualism and cultural intersection in literature is highly relevant in today’s globalized world, where the processes of integration and interaction between different cultures and languages have become an integral part of daily life. These processes are particularly evident in the works of writers from countries with a colonial past.

Studying their works provides a deeper understanding of how bilingualism and cultural blending influence literary self-expression, identity formation, and personal development.

BACKGROUND: Uterine myoma is one of the most prevalent gynecological diseases. Data concerning the effects of the medicinal agents used in patients with uterine leyomyomas, are both scientifically and practically important.
AIM: This study aims to assess the clinical, laboratory, and instrumental effectiveness of 5-year use of micronized oral contraceptive containing estrogen and progestogen, intrauterine levonorgestrel-releasing system and progesterone receptor modulator in patients with uterine myoma.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients aged from 21 to 40 years old were assigned to 3 arms in accordance with the treatment regimen. Group 1 included 42 women with myomas ≤2 cm in diameter. These patients received combined oral contraceptive pills containing ethinylestradiol 20 mcg and desogestrel 150 mg according to the conventional contraceptive regimen, i.e. one pill daily, 21-day courses with following 7-day pauses. Group 2 included 34 women with uterine myoma and concomitant uterine endometriosis. In this group, the intrauterine devices containing levonorgestrel were inserted. Group 3 included 33 patients treated with the progesterone receptor modulator in order to reduce the diameter of uterine myomas. They received oral mifepristone at a dose of 50 mg daily for three months, followed by a 3-month pause and subsequent 3-month course of treatment. During the year, two cycles that included 3-month treatment course and 3-month treatment-free period, were repeated. All patients underwent standard clinical, laboratory and instrumental gynecological examination. Statistical processing was performed in the basis of Statistica 12.0 software.
RESULTS: In Group 1, 80.9% of patients exhibited unchanged mean diameters of uterine myomas all over the course of treatment with contraceptive drugs, 16.7% of patients demonstrated growth of myoma (by 15%), while in 2.4% of patients myoma reduction (by 5%) was observed. In Group 2, the increase in the diameter of leiomyoma ranged from 20 to 30 percent was observed following the insertion of intrauterine levonorgestrel-releasing system in 58.8 percent of patients. In contrast, 35.3 percent of patients exhibited no change in myoma size, while a decrease by 15 percent was observed in only 5.9 percent of patients. In Group 3, 10 intermittent 3-month courses of mifepristone (50 mg) resulted in the reduction of uterine myoma by 40%–50% of the baseline diameter in 97.0% of patients. In general, the study drugs demonstrated beneficial effects and safety in patients with leiomyoma.
CONCLUSION: The long-term use of low-dose oral contraceptives generally leads in the stabilization of the size of uterine myomas, while intrauterine levonergestrel-releasing system prevents their intensive growth. Nevertheless, the use of a drug belonging to the progesterone receptor modulator class, has proven to be the most effective approach to reducing the size of myomas.

Gestational (pregnancy-associated) breast cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy, within the first postpartum year, or while breastfeeding. Delayed diagnosis and treatment, often due to low physician awareness and the complexities in interpreting diagnostic data to assess the severity of disease, contribute to the poor prognosis of this condition. Russian literature concerning the diagnosis of gestational breast cancer is very limited. Therefore, further exploration of this issue is relevant. The aim of this review is to analyze existing literature on diagnosing gestational breast cancer. A search of PubMed, eLibrary, and Google Scholar was conducted using keywords such as “гестационный рак молочной железы,” “рак молочной железы,” “рак молочной железы, ассоциированный с беременностью,” “беременность,” “кормление грудью,” “лактация,” “МРТ,” “КТ,” “маммография,” “УЗИ,” “биопсия,” “диагностика,” and their English correlates “gestational breast cancer,” “breast cancer,” “pregnancy-associated breast cancer,” “pregnancy,” “breastfeeding,” “lactation,” “MRI,” “CT,” “mammography,” “ultrasound,” “biopsy,” and “diagnosis.” Gestational breast cancer remains a serious challenge for modern medicine. Various methods are employed in diagnosing and treating this disease, including needle aspiration biopsy, fine-needle biopsy, and surgical biopsy. Ultrasound plays a crucial role in monitoring the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and assessing regional lymph nodes. Advanced imaging techniques, such as ultrasound elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and the hybrid PET/MRI technique, may enhance the diagnosis and management of gestational breast cancer. The use of non-contrast diffusion MRI in pregnant and breastfeeding patients is an intriguing area for future research.

Relevance. The violation of statolocomotor function and motor stereotypes affects the mobility of patients with ischemic stroke (IS). A promising multimodal rehabilitation strategy includes programmable functional electrical stimulation (FES) and biofeedback stability training (BFB).
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of computer-based stabilometric training with biofeedback and functional electrical stimulation in the implementation of a comprehensive rehabilitation program in patients with ischemic stroke.
Matherials and Methods. The study involved 160 patients in the residual period of stroke, divided into four groups based on rehabilitation methods: standard medical rehabilitation (MR), isolated application of programmable FES, stabilometric training with BFB, and their combinations. The medical and social rehabilitation (MSR) course included assessments at 2 weeks, 5 weeks, and 6 months. Statolocomotor function was evaluated using the Tinetti test, the Berg scale, and computer stabilometry; functional independence was assessed by the Bartel index.
The results of the study. The study observed positive dynamics in all patient groups in the MSR course according to the Tinetti test, with significant improvements in the main group (MG) for general motor activity and walking subscale (25.02 ± 0.82 and 11.54 ± 0.14 points) and in the balance training group (BFB) for general motor activity and balance subscale (25.28 ± 0.36 and 14.09 ± 0.12 points). In the FES group, improvements were noted in all parameters (total score 25.12 ± 0.28 points; balance 14.02 ± 0.12 points; walking 11.10 ± 0.16 points), with changes sustained by the 6th month. By week 5, balance function improved in the BFB and FES groups and was maintained long-term. Computer stabilometry demonstrated MSR effectiveness, especially in the MG. Functional independence improved in the MG and FES and BFB (p 0.05). The correlation was found between statolocomotor disorders and functional independence (r = 0.568, p ≤ 0.01).
Conclusions. The integrated application of programmable FES and BFB - balance training in the programs of MSR patients in the IS residual period allows for a multimodal effect on impaired statolocomotor functions and increase the functional independence of this category of patients
History of Reconstruction and Reconstruction of History: Identity Project of Cities in Post-war Germany

During the Second World War, air raids were conducted due to the same motivations for both the Allied Forces and Germany. They aimed at using this for retaliation, annihilating each other’s economic competitiveness, and destroying cultural identities. In reverse, this shows in advance what must be restored during the post-war reconstruction process. Reconstruction is carried out as efforts towards building peace and toward economic restoration, and as a work to rebuild the disintegrated identity. Here, we focus on the fact that the restoration of Germany since 1945 was carried out as both the ‘history of reconstruction’ and ‘reconstruction of history’.
What appeared to the most pressing issue in restoring a destroyed city was solving the social residential issue, but at the same time, the reconstruction of a city was a process of visually restoring the cultural identity of the urban population of those regions. As the essence of modern history of the West, cities played a pivotal role over a long period for developing identity of Germans, whose formation as a nation-state was delayed. The core element that was able to unite Germans was not an abstract sense of national awareness, but the visibility provided by a materialized architectural space in the middle of the city. And when the visual identity possessed by the city as a border of cultural provinces was destroyed by war, urban planning reconstruction was embodied as a reconstruction work of identity with political and historical meaning.
When viewing the new beginning of post-war Germany from the perspective of ‘history of reconstruction’ and ‘reconstruction of history’, it can be said that satisfactory reconstruction of architectural space without any chance for Nazi ideals to be activated again developed through the course of forming regional identity - and not national identity - according to the features of city without eradicating humans.
