Separación endoscópica de componentes por abordaje subcutáneo, experiencia inicial
Authors: Daes Jorge , Daza Juan Carlos
Published: April 2024

Introducción. La separación clásica de componentes crea un colgajo compuesto, el cual se moviliza para reparar primariamente hernias ventrales sin tensión. La extensa disección requerida produce muchas complicaciones e incapacidad. El abordaje mínimamente invasivo ofrece una alternativa menos mórbida. Se describe en detalle nuestra modificación técnica de la separación de componentes con abordaje endoscópico subcutáneo y los resultados iniciales y a corto plazo de una pequeña serie de pacientes.

Métodos. Se hace una descripción detallada de la técnica con énfasis en la marcación preoperatoria de la línea semilunar bajo guía ecográfica y se evalúan los resultados de su aplicación en una serie piloto de seis casos de hernias ventrales grandes, intervenidos entre octubre de 2012 y febrero de 2013. Todos los pacientes han sido evaluados clínicamente entre los cuatro y los ocho meses después de la cirugía y, mediante una tomografía computadorizada de abdomen, a los tres meses.

Resultados. Un paciente presentó un gran hematoma subcutáneo. No se presentaron otras complicaciones, como infección, problemas relacionados con la malla o seromas. No ha habido recurrencias durante el seguimiento clínico. El control tomográfico a los tres meses de la cirugía demostró una pared abdominal íntegra excepto por un pequeño defecto de 1 cm, bien reforzado por la malla, en uno de los pacientes.

Discusión. La modificación descrita de la separación de componentes por abordaje endoscópico subcutáneo es factible, reproducible, ergonómica y de baja morbilidad en el corto plazo. Es necesario hacer un seguimiento más largo para evaluar la tasa de recurrencia.

Authors: Duarte Carlos , López Héctor
Published: April 2024

El melanoma acral lentiginoso es el tipo de melanoma de localización distal más frecuente, suele diagnosticarse en los estadios más avanzados y tiene un comportamiento biológico más agresivo que otros tipos de melanoma, por lo cual son de peor pronóstico. Representa entre el 5 % y el 10 % de los melanomas malignos y es más frecuente en asiáticos, en la raza negra y en latinoamericanos. El objetivo de este artículo fue hacer una revisión bibliográfica actualizada con el fin de conocer las tasas de incidencia del tumor, los nuevos avances con respecto a los factores de riesgo, biología molecular, diagnóstico y tratamiento, y el desarrollo de nuevos tratamientos en el manejo del melanoma avanzado y metastásico.
Carcinoma diferenciado de la glándula tiroidea: hallazgos en 16 años de manejo multidisciplinario
Authors: Sánchez Gabriel , Gutiérrez Claudia , Valenzuela Álex , Tovar José Rafael Tovar
Published: April 2024

Introducción. La falta de una clasificación preoperatoria confiable para determinar el riesgo de recaída en cáncer diferenciado de tiroides, nos motivó a explorar factores que pudieran ofrecer algunos indicios para plantear hipótesis que explicaran las diferencias entre el comportamiento de nuestros casos y lo reportado en la literatura científica. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo del tipo serie de casos, tomando la información registrada en la historia clínica de individuos con carcinoma de tiroides, tratados por el grupo de especialistas de Cirugía de Cabeza y Cuello, Medicina Nuclear, Endocrinología y Patología de una clínica especializada con nivel IV de atención de Bogotá, Colombia, en el período comprendido entre enero de 1997 y diciembre de 2012. Resultados. Se obtuvieron 501 registros de cáncer de tiroides, de los cuales, 469 (93,6 %) correspondían a carcinoma diferenciado. La distribución por sexo fue predominantemente femenina, 418 (83,4 %). Se observó asociación significativa entre recidiva y siete factores histopatológicos. La mediana para el tiempo de seguimiento fue de 38 meses (rango, 1 a 312). Se documentó recidiva tumoral en 59 pacientes (12,6 %) con una mediana para el tiempo libre de recaída de 31 meses (rango, 7 a 288). La supervivencia observada a 5 y 10 años fue de 97,4 % y 96,8 %, respectivamente. Discusión. La presencia de factores histopatológicos, la falta de una clasificación preoperatoria para establecer el riesgo de recaída, de mortalidad o de ambos, y el deficiente sistema de salud que no permite un adecuado seguimiento de los pacientes, pueden ser razones suficientes para justificar una citorreducción quirúrgica agresiva como tratamiento inicial del carcinoma diferenciado de tiroides.
Bibliometric Analysis of Landfill Mining: worldwide research evolution
Authors: Duarte Anaxsandra da Costa Lima , Jesus Taise Bonfim , Valentim Alessandra Cristina Silva
Published: April 2024

Landfill Mining (LFM) aims to recover resources by partially or completely excavating waste stored in landfills. Research on Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) has been advanced to include the combined valuation of waste as both materials and energy carriers. In this article we present an overview of the literature on the global development of landfill mining based on domestic waste. Here we analyze the existing information on the chronological and geographic distribution in countries that publish in the area, and to describe the dynamics of the conceptual and scientific knowledge. The analyzed articles were retrieved from Scopus, using the “Landfill* Mining” search term. The LFM research on co-occurrence network (1990-2022) found 29 terms in the first decade, increasing to 52 terms in the second decade and, finally, 234 terms in the third decade, indicating the importance of the LFM research field in present days. Four prominent aspects of LFM research can be observed: a. LFM provides an efficient contribution to waste management strategy, b. the objectives of LFM are similar to those of Circular Economy, c. LFM uses advanced techniques for identifying metals and chemical elements; and d. there is a need for ecological and ecotoxicological assessment, and determination of microorganisms and microplastics in the mined material.
A Risk-based Approach for Waste Management in the Modern Circular Economy: Propositions from the EU Recycling Industries
Authors: Hennebert Pierre , Navazas Alejandro , Katrakis Emmanuel
Published: April 2024

EuRIC, the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation, proposes five regulatory actions to enhance material circularity:
i) Set stable regulations based on the principle of "one substance - one assessment" along with realistic, evidence-based scientific risk assessments;
ii) Prioritise increasing waste collection for a better elimination of substances of concern to reducing the concentration limit in recycled products;
iii) Strict enforcement of an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for all restricted or banned substances, where exemptions should be carefully considered by evidence-based science;
iv) Align the classification hazard systems used for waste materials with those used for products;
v) Grant an end-of-waste status (EoW) at the output of a controlled, certified industrial loop.
Those propositions create a level playing field for collection, sorting, and waste preparation within EU and an improved waste shipment. The underlying question is striking the right balance between the precautionary and responsibility principles in the circular economy. Given the presence of hazardous "legacy" substances and the prolonged life of certain products within an evolving regulatory framework, the recycling industry proposes controlled-risk solutions aligned with the intended use or recycled materials for products not yet ecodesigned. The recommendations suggest a shift in the waste definition, considering the fate of matter within the waste hierarchy—emphasizing prevention, management, and policy alignment with the principles of the circular economy. So, materials that can be prepared for reuse or recycling are categorized as pre-materials, while those suitable only for other recovery methods such as energy recovery or landfilling are considered wastes.
Chemical recycling of PVC-containing plastic waste for recycling of critical metals
Authors: Peer Michael , Berninger Burkhard , Hofmann Alexander , Fehn Thomas
Published: April 2024

Chemical recycling of polyvinyl chloride containing plastic waste to recover critical metals is a promising way to solve two important problems (polyvinyl chloride disposal and critical metal recovery) in waste management and is being transferred on a larger scale in the “CHM-Technology” project. Various polyvinyl chloride containing plastic wastes were pyrolyzed to generate a hydrogen chloride rich vapor. This hydrogen chloride rich vapor is used in a second step to chlorinate indium in liquid crystal displays. Indium chloride has a lower boiling point than indium-tin-oxide and evaporates. This is cooled down and generates a metal concentrate together with the decomposed volatile materials from liquid crystal displays. The chlorine content in the polyvinyl chloride containing plastic waste residues is reduced. The products solid, oil, hydrochloric acid and gas can be used for new products. For metal purification the metal concentrate is mixed with water, filtrated, distilled and an electrolysis is carried out to recover metallic indium. Nine waste containing PVC were used with significant differences: when more hydrochloric acid and less volatile organic fraction was produced, more indium was transferred to the metal concentrate. The best recovery of indium (78% purity after electrolysis) was 39 wt-% from LCD panels containing 83 mg In/kg.
Investigation of Social Concerns Regarding a Sustainable Cement
Authors: Kulasuriya Chandana , Dias Priyan , Vimonsatit Vanissorn
Published: April 2024

This work investigates individual and social concerns regarding the integral sustainability of an alternative low-carbon cement. The framework of Integral Philosophy was used for the investigation. Social surveys were conducted in Australian, American, and Sri Lankan contexts. The data was collected through both closed-ended and open-ended questions in a questionnaire. Analysis of responses was carried out using fuzzy techniques and grounded theory techniques. Results indicate that individuals and societies in all three countries are more concerned about market price, quality standards, sustainability issues, and recommendations from professionals when selecting a new cement. In all three contexts, they also indicate that there is generally high support among individuals and societies for accepting low-carbon cement as an integrally sustainable cement. Combining the top-down Integral Theory approach with the bottom-up Grounded Theory is a valuable tool for social science research.
Leonid Kantorovich’s Economic Ideas and Their Perception in the USSR and the West
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Belykh A. A.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the life and work of Leonid Kantorovich, including his economic ideas and their interpretations by economists both in the Soviet Union and the West. Notably, Kantorovich stands as the sole recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics from the USSR. Although Kantorovich’s biography has been thoroughly examined, it is crucial to dispel prevalent myths about certain aspects of his life, such as his alleged involvement in organizing the Road of Life during the Leningrad siege and the perception of his report at Leningrad State University, later published as the brochure “Mathematical Methods of Organization and Planning of Production” (1939), which some claim was perceived as so anti-Marxist by the audience that they feared arrest. The article highlights overlooked nuances in discussions regarding the relationship between Kantorovich’s concepts and Karl Marx’s theory of value. Marx’s theory, albeit incomplete, posited that socially necessary labor costs are regulated by social use-value. In this regard, Marx’s framework shares similarities with ideas proposed by mathematical economists. If data from the tables of the third volume of Das Kapital are substituted into Kantorovich’s model of optimization of land resource use, then the values of Marx’s differential rent will coincide with the objectively determined valuations (ODV) of land plots.In Western literature, it is commonly believed that although Kantorovich pioneered linear programming, he did not fully grasp the economic significance of the components of the optimal plan of the dual problem at the end of the 1930s. The article demonstrates that Kantorovich actually understood the economic meaning of the resolving multipliers (ODV) as indicators of value from the very beginning, but the political climate at the time prevented him from openly discussing it. Kantorovich’s contributions to the theory of optimal resource allocation secured him a prominent position in global economics. Nevertheless, neither he nor his adherents succeeded in effecting a transition to an efficiently functioning system in the Soviet economy.

Investigating Heterogeneity in IRTree Models for Multiple Response Processes with Score-Based Partitioning
Authors: Debelak Rudolf , Meiser Thorsten , Gernand Alicia
Published: April 2024

IRTree models form a family of psychometric models that allow researchers to control for multiple response processes, such as different sorts of response styles, in the measurement of latent traits. While IRTree models can capture quantitative individual differences in both the latent traits of interest and the use of response categories, they maintain the basic assumption that the nature and weighting of latent response processes are homogeneous across the entire population of respondents. In the present research, we therefore propose a novel approach for detecting heterogeneity in the parameters of IRTree models across subgroups that engage in different response behavior. The approach uses score-based tests to reveal violations of parameter heterogeneity along extraneous person covariates, and it can be employed as model-based partitioning algorithm to identify sources of differences in the strength of trait-based responding or other response processes. Simulation studies demonstrate generally accurate Type I error rates and sufficient power for metric, ordinal and categorical person covariates and for different types of test statistics, with the potential to differentiate between different types of parameter heterogeneity. An empirical application illustrates the use of score-based partitioning in the analysis of latent response processes with real data.
ParsText: A Digraphic Corpus for Tajik-Farsi Transliteration
Authors: Merchant Rayyan , Tang Kevin
Published: April 2024

Despite speaking dialects of the same language, Persian speakers from Tajikistan cannot read Persian texts from Iran and Afghanistan. This is due to the fact that Tajik Persian is written in the Tajik-Cyrillic script, while Iranian and Afghan Persian are written in the Perso-Arabic script. As the formal registers of these dialects all maintain high levels of mutual intelligibility with each other, machine transliteration has been proposed as a more practical and appropriate solution than machine translation. Unfortunately, Persian texts written in both scripts are much more common in print in Tajikistan than online. This paper introduces a novel corpus meant to remedy that gap: ParsText. ParsText contains 2,813 Persian sentences written in both Tajik-Cyrillic and Perso-Arabic manually collected from blog pages and news articles online. This paper presents the need for such a corpus, previous and related work, data collection and alignment procedures, corpus statistics, and discusses directions for future work.
Obstetric outcomes of teenage pregnancies: A record-based study in a rural hospital of North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal
Authors: Sarkar Paramita , Sarkar Payel , Sarkar Arnab , Saibendu Kumar Lahiri
Published: April 2024

Background: Teenage pregnancy is a pregnancy in a woman within 10–19 years of age groups. It results from a number of factors such as early age at marriage, illiteracy, poverty, premarital sex, lack of awareness, and access to contraception. Teenage pregnancy imposes serious social and medical implications relating to both maternal and child health. It is a worldwide public health problem in both developed and developing countries.
Aims and Objectives: The study was conducted in a rural hospital of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal. The primary objective was to compare different maternal and perinatal outcomes of teenage primigravida mothers with those of adult primigravida mothers. The secondary objective was to assess the association between various sociodemographic factors on the prevalence of teenage pregnancy.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional hospital record-based study includes a sample of 78 study subjects each in cases and comparison group. Records were taken from June 2019 to December 2019.
Results: Of a total of 379 labor room admissions during the study period, 86 (22.69%) were of the teenage group and 8 cases were excluded from the study. A total of 78 teenage pregnancies were analyzed and compared with 78 adult pregnancies. The mean (standard deviation) age of teenage in our study was 18.10±0.63 and that of the comparison group was 22.74±1.68 years. Results revealed that teenage mothers had a statistically higher proportion of anemia (OR=2.30, P=0.05) and low-birth-weight babies (OR: 3.6, P=0.05) compared to adult-primigravida mothers, respectively.
Conclusion: Teenage pregnancy is still a rampant and important public health problem in India with unfavorable perinatal outcomes and needs to be tackled on a priority basis.
Influence of Fixed Orthodontic Treatment Duration on the Prevalence and Severity of Gingival Enlargement
Authors: Rajkanikar Junima , Vaidya Samriddhi , Piya Anshu
Published: April 2024

In patients undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy, favorable conditions for plaque stagnation as well as difficulty in performing usual oral hygiene measures have been associated with poorer periodontal health among orthodontic patients. So this study aims to assess the effect of the duration of fixed orthodontic treatment on presence of gingival enlargement in adolescents and young adults. This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in the dental hospital of Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital. Patients under fixed orthodontic therapy for at least 3 months were examined for the presence of gingival enlargement (GE). Demographic variables and the details of duration of the fixed orthodontic therapy was recorded along with presence of gingival enlargement and its grading. The oral hygiene habits like frequency of brushing, use of interdental cleaning aids were recorded along with plaque index. Gingival enlargement was present in 204 (63.7%) out of total 320 patients taken, among which 124 patients (38.8%) had gingival enlargement of score 1 and 80 (25.0%) patients had gingival enlargement of score 2. Gingival enlargement was observed in 101 (73.2%) in 20-30 years old patients which was more prevalent in this age group. Oral hygiene habits like frequency of brushing and use of interdental aids also seem to affect the occurrence of gingival enlargement in patients. Among those who were undergoing orthodontic therapy for more than 2 years, 48 (82.8%) had presence of gingival enlargement. Mean of plaque index was seen to be statistically associated with presence of gingival enlargement. Thus, this study showed that the duration of orthodontic treatment duration significantly influenced the occurrence of GE. Therefore, oral hygiene instructions and motivations should be reinforced for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Authors: Lundy-Woolfolk Erika L , Loy Daniel D. , Dahlke Garland R.
Published: April 2024

Variation in feed intake systems and subsequent bunk management between research settings and the beef industry has increased over the last decade. Despite the need for both feed management application systems in the beef industry, a comparison of feed intake, cattle intake behavior, and growth performance between cattle fed in an open bunk system compared to an individual intake system has not been conducted. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate feed intake, growth performance, and carcass characteristics of steers fed in an individual feed intake bunk system (FIMS) compared to a traditional, open bunk system. One hundred twelve crossbred yearling steers (n = 28 hd/pen) were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: 1) fed in individual feed intake systems (FIMS) or 2) fed in traditional open bunk system (OPEN) with 2 pens per treatment. Steers fed in FIMS were managed to allow for ad libitum feed access while steers fed in concrete open bunks were managed using the South Dakota State University 4-point bunk scoring system, targeting slick bunks or bunk score of 0 three to five days per week with the remainder of the days being bunk scores of ½ to 1. Over the 103-day feeding period, no difference in body weight or growth performance were observed between the two treatment groups with a tendency for ribeye area to be smaller in steers fed in FIMS. Results of this study demonstrated minimal differences performance and carcass characteristics of steers fed in an open bunk system in comparison to an individual intake bunk system. However, additional research is needed to determine the impact of bunk feeding system on individual steer social behavior to account for variation within pen.

The Changing Trends of Coalition Politics of Kerala from its Origin to 2016 in India
Authors: Saha Tularam , Dakua Goutam
Published: April 2024

The Constitution of India provide for a federal system of government though the term ‘federalism’ which is nowhere been used in the constitution. But the article 1 of the constitution describes that India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States. K.C. where describes Indian federalism as “Quasi-federal”. Granville Austin called it ‘co-operative federalism.’ And Ivor Jennings describes it as ‘federation with strong centralizing tendency’. This nature of Indian federalism has leads India towards coalition.  The coalition politics at the central level has been relatively a recent phenomenon but at the state level it has been in operation right after the first general election (1952). The growth of regional parties and dominant leadership at state level has federalized the polity and the state government has stretched their arms.  The first coalition at state level formed in Kerala in 1954. The coalition politics is a time-tested thing in contemporary democracy. The concept of coalition politics occurred when the states used to ally with each other in order to defect of a common enemy. In 1954 the Congress created a coalition government in Kerala. Since this time Kerala has been living with coalition rule after regular intervals. The politics in Kerala is dominated by two coalition fronts: the communist party of India (Marxist)- led left Democratic front (LDF) and the Indian National Congress – led United Democratic Front (UDF) since late 1970s. Kerala was the first Indian state where the communists were chosen to power. Since the early 1980s these two coalitions have alternate in government. They are unable to gain re- election for a second term. These two-alliance coalition have occurred periodically and ruled continued to 2016 election. In May 2016, the LDF win election and now in power.  This LDF coalition occurred with CPI (M)-58, CPI-19, TDS-3, NCP-2, KCB-1, CPM(L)-1, CS-1 and Independents-5.

Land2Lab Project: Reflections on Learning about Mi’kmaw Foodways
Authors: Fox Ann , Bujold Renee , Pictou Kara
Published: April 2024

Land2Lab is an evolving community-based intergenerational program that brings together Elders and youth on the land and in the kitchen and lab to share and celebrate Mi’kmaw foodways. Rooted in an Etuaptmumk-Two Eyed Seeing (E-TES) perspective, which acknowledges both Indigenous and Western ways of knowing, the project to date has featured seasonal food workshops, involvement in a children’s summer math camp, a food safety training workshop for teens, and the development of an online toolkit. The project was guided by the Mi’kmaw principle of Netukulimk, which reinforces respect for Mother Earth and stewardship of the land, water, and air for subsequent generations. Involvement of community leaders has been key to successful planning and implementation. While technology plays an important role, lessons learned on the land are critical and will inform efforts to include language and ceremony in future programming. Dietitians are encouraged to support Indigenous-led land-based learning in support of the profession’s commitment to reconciliation.
Socioeconomic and Cultural Factors Influencing Type of Hormonal Contraceptive Use in Women in Developed vs Under-Developed Geographic Areas
Authors:   Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine, Stratford, New Jersey, USA, Minkanic Michelle , Tran Emily
Published: April 2024

The intent of this study is to identify and compare sociocultural barriers in various geographic regions that impede access, type and use of hormonal contraception, and methods to improve restrictions in access. Understanding and addressing sociocultural barriers to hormonal contraception on a larger intercontinental scale can create a more effective and inclusive healthcare system. A search using PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase was conducted on current and past literature performed in various developmental countries. Terms such as “birth control access AND developed nations”, “barriers of hormonal contraception AND low-income countries” were used. Studies included ranged from RCTs, cross-sectional studies, literature reviews, and meta-analyses. Countries reviewed with lower levels of development in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America have demonstrated a rise in long-acting hormonal contraception (LARCs) after injectables. Barriers in these regions include misconceptions fertility and contraception use, access to modern contraceptives (these include oral and emergency contraceptive pills, implants, injectables, contraceptive patches and rings, intrauterine devices, female and male sterilization, vaginal barrier methods and female condoms), stigma and patriarchal settings that result in male influence on women’s reproductive choices. More developed regions of the world like the United States and Europe demonstrated a range of contraceptive options with the most compliance for intrauterine implants (IUDs) in younger reproductive women. The greatest hindrances for developed regions were cost, difficulty obtaining appointments, and fallacies for future fertility. Contraceptive education and culturally sensitive counseling should be emphasized for healthcare employees serving women with ease of access, and to strengthen reproductive support services. Advocating to provide underdeveloped regions with better contraceptive resources highlights an importance to give women globally the empowerment to choose the direction of their own reproductive journey.
Cooperative anti-leukemic effects of vitamin D derivatives and plant polyphenols in AML models: the role of the interplay between NRF2, AP-1, and VDR
Authors: Aitbekov R.N. , Zhumina A.G. , Danilenko M.P.
Published: April 2024

Treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not significantly improved in the past 40 years. The active form of vitamin D, 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), has strong in-vitro antileukemic effects at toxic concentrations in vivo. Several low-calcemic vitamin D analogs (VDAs) have been synthesized to reduce 1,25D3 toxicity. We have previously shown that plant polyphenolic antioxidants (PAOx) synergistically enhance the effects of 1,25D3 and VDAs at non-toxic doses. These effects were mediated b y the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factors. The study aimed to 1) Character-ize the combined effects of novel highly potent vascular disrupting agents with peroxisomal N(1) –acetyl-spermine/spermidine oxidase on differentiation and growth of acute myeloid leukemia cells; 2) Elucidate the role of the interplay between nuclear factor erythroid 2, activator protein-1, and vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the combined antileukemic effects of vascular disrupting agents and peroxisomal N (1)–acetyl-spermine/spermidine oxidase. This article presents the treatment of AML with pharmaceutical plants and vitamin D. Such techniques as culture dilution (HL60, U937) and Western Blotting were used. We determined the in-vitro antileukemic effects of novel plant vitamin D2-based VDAs with removed C-19 (19-nor analogs; PRI-5201 and PRI-5202) or with a side-chain modification at C-24 (24-cis analogs; PRI-1916 and PRI-1917) on HL60, U937, and MOLM-13 human AML cells. The differentiation potency of PRI-5201 and PRI-5202 was 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that of 1,25D2 or 1,25D3, while the 24-cis modification was almost ineffective. The 19-nor VDA/CA combinations are promising for treating AML. In vivo, testing of these combinations is in progress. We suggest that direct or indirect Nrf2-mediated up regulation of AP-1 and VDR by PAOx increases the sensitivity of AML cells to low doses of 1,25D3 or VDAs.

Aim. To highlight the problem of pathogenesis, diagnostics and treatment of diabetes mellitus in the outcome of surgical interventions on the pancreas. Key points. Diabetes mellitus can develop as a result of different diseases, including diseases of the exocrine part of the pancreas. Currently, the term “Diabetes of the Exocrine Pancreas” (DEP) is used. One of the causes of DEP is pancreatic surgery. Pancreatectomy is divided into two main types: total pancreatectomy and partial or pancreatic resection. Partial pancreatectomy, in turn, has two main subtypes: resection of the right half of the pancreas — pancreatoduodenal resection (PDR) and resection of the left half of the pancreas — distal resection (DR). When analyzing the literature data, it is clearly seen that the problem of metabolic outcomes of PDR and others is actively studied and is of great interest. Despite the approximately equal volume of resected tissue, diabetes mellitus occurs more often and earlier after DR, while after PDR, remission of pre-existing diabetes is possible in a significant number of patients. With regard to exocrine function, the situation is reversed — after PDR, the probability of developing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is higher than after DR. Conclusion. When studying the literature data, it becomes obvious that there is an urgent necessity to develop approaches to the early combination therapy in patients after pancreatic surgery with simultaneous correction of exo- and endocrine pancreatic. Keywords: diabetes mellitus in the outcome of diseases of the exocrine part of the pancreas, pancreas, pancreatectomy, pancreatoduodenal resection of the pancreas, distal resection of the pancreas.

Aim. Analysis of vitamin B12 deficiency as a risk factor for severe novel coronavirus infection and its possible use as adjuvant therapy in the management of COVID-19. Key points. The COVID-19 poses the greatest risk to older people and patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. These categories of patients often require long-term hospitalization and intensive care, and the prognosis of the disease and the risk of life-threatening complications are much higher than the average in the population. Determining the risk factors for a severe course of COVID-19 and the mechanisms of their occurrence helps to choose the optimal treatment tactics and significantly improve the prognosis of recovery, reduce the negative consequences of the disease, the so-called post-COVID syndrome, and shorten the rehabilitation period for patients after COVID-19. One of the hypotheses explaining the increased risk of severe COVID-19 in these groups of patients is vitamin B12 deficiency. Perhaps this factor is unifying for the elderly and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, the question arises whether the elimination of B12 deficiency will affect mortality from COVID-19 or recovery rates. In this review, we will analize the latest evidence that shows B12 is involved in many immunological, microbiological and hematological processes that are the target of coronavirus infection. Conclusion. Our review data confirms the hypothesis that B12 deficiency is a potential risk factor for severe COVID-19, and replacement of this deficiency by prescribing vitamin B12 therapy can be considered as adjuvant therapy and prevention of complications for these categories of patients. Keywords: novel coronavirus infection, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, vitamin B12, cobalamin, diabetes mellitus type 2, metformin, rehabilitation.

Motives: Full-scale hostilities that occurred in Ukraine in 2022 have led to significant losses in agriculture and rural areas. These losses pose a serious threat to the country’s food security and may lead to crises on international food markets. Also, to justify information needs and requirements in accordance with legal regulations relating to land use, food security in Ukraine should be considered through continuous monitoring and analysis of the available land resources, and the existing and projected structure of cultivated areas.Aim: The aim of the study is to provide a theoretical and methodological basis for formulating practical recommendations regarding information and analytical support for the management of land resources through the use of GIS, in particular Earth remote sensing systems, in land management.Results: To improve the institutional environment for regulating land relations in Ukraine under new conditions of management, the following stakeholders should be considered in the process of managing land resources: 1) government, 2) local authorities, 3) agricultural enterprises, and 4) land owners. The study revealed problems with access to information and analytical support for managing land resources at the level of the central government, territorial self-governments, and agricultural enterprises. Digital transformation has a significant impact on agribusiness because it enables agricultural producers to interact with other stakeholders, compare their performance with competitors, and optimize production processes.

Motives: Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) are perceived differently by local residents and tourists. Therefore, an understanding of spatial patterns in CES is important for urban planning.Aim: To determine whether residents and tourists differ in their perceptions of CES groups in Lublin, and whether these perceptions are influenced by gender, age, occupation, and frequency of visits.Results: The relative value of CES groups was ranked in the following descending order of importance: physical, social, cultural, inspirational, and spiritual activities by local residents (n = 138), and inspirational, cultural, spiritual, physical, and social activities by tourists (n = 134). The Wilcoxon test showed that the total and average number of the identified locations was higher among residents than tourists. The chi-square test revealed a difference between the CES categories identified by the local residents (x2 = 265.602, df = 5, p < 0.01) and tourists (x2 = 25.660, df = 5, p < 0.01).
