INK: Knowledge graph representation for efficient and performant rule mining
Authors: Steenwinckel Bram , De Turck Filip , Ongenae Femke
Published: October 2023

Semantic rule mining can be used for both deriving task-agnostic or task-specific information within a Knowledge Graph (KG). Underlying logical inferences to summarise the KG or fully interpretable binary classifiers predicting future events are common results of such a rule mining process. The current methods to perform task-agnostic or task-specific semantic rule mining operate, however, a completely different KG representation, making them less suitable to perform both tasks or incorporate each other’s optimizations. This also results in the need to master multiple techniques for both exploring and mining rules within KGs, as well losing time and resources when converting one KG format into another. In this paper, we use INK, a KG representation based on neighbourhood nodes of interest to mine rules for improved decision support. By selecting one or two sets of nodes of interest, the rule miner created on top of the INK representation will either mine task-agnostic or task-specific rules. In both subfields, the INK miner is competitive to the currently state-of-the-art semantic rule miners on 14 different benchmark datasets within multiple domains.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Improvement of workers’ safety performance is an integral and essential part of safety management. Relevant safety interventions to improve workers’ safety performance are generally difficult to establish when there is a wide range of occupational hazards and at-risk individuals’ features. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at formulating a practical approach to develop and prioritize potential safety interventions based on occupational and individual risk factors perceived by workers to promote workers’ safety performance. METHODS: A simple framework developed to identify and prioritize the suitable safety interventions. This framework made use of data collected using standardized and validated questionnaire and domain experts’ opinions. Pearson correlation coefficients, exploratory factor analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to identify significant risk factors associated with workers’ safety performance. Data were collected by interviewing 202 coal mine workers with occupational injuries, and their immediate supervisors from three mines. RESULTS: Safety performance was associated with the occupational factor-domain (poor working condition, poor safety environment, poor job satisfaction, and high job stress) only (regression coefficient = 2.14, p < 0.01). The following interventions were identified and prioritized to promote workers’ safety performance: provide fair compensation to workers, job-specific and safety training, promotion policy, achievable targets, relevant perks/benefits, safety training awareness, workplace lighting, ventilation network, sensitize the management, associate safety performance to promotion, and develop team spirit. CONCLUSION: Our approach helps to identify and prioritize the most relevant interventions to promote safety at work when there are multiple risk factors.
Modern views on the problem of antifungal resistance of strains of fungi of the genera Fusarium and Aspergillus in the context of the concept of One Health
Authors: Hrynzovska Anastasiia , Bobyr Vitalii
Published: October 2023

the «One Health» concept integrates human, animal and environmental health and emphasizes the need for collaboration between different sectors such as medicine, veterinary medicine, ecology, public health and other sciences to achieve greater understanding and management of common health threats. This concept arose from the realization that many diseases, including infectious diseases, cancer and mental disorders, have common roots related to the state of the ecosystem. For example, the spread of infectious diseases can be caused by climate changes, loss of biodiversity, inappropriate use of antibiotics, xenobiotics, and other factors. In addition, pathogens of animal diseases can also acquire pathogenic properties and pose a threat to public health. «One Health» implements such an approach to health, which instead of the traditional vertical approach is system-oriented, it encourages comprehensive actions to prevent and control disease at different levels. This approach includes comprehensive medical diagnostics, monitoring, research and coordination, as well as strengthening cooperation between scientists, doctors, veterinarians, ecologists and other specialists. Undoubtedly, an important issue in the context of the implementation of the «One Health» concept is the study of the formation of resistance to antifungal drugs in microscopic fungi, including representatives of the genera Fusarium and Aspergillus. The ratio of natural to artificial resistance can be highly variable among different fungal strains, even within the same species or genus. This is due to the genetic diversity of fungi and their ability to mutate and adapt to new conditions. Considering these factors, it is important to constantly monitor the resistance of mycelial fungi to antifungal drugs and detect the emergence of new resistant strains. This will make it possible to use antimicrobials correctly and provide effective treatment.
Determination of the effect of topical application of N-acetylcysteine on the recovery rate of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after surgical treatment, based on SNOT-22 test scores
Authors: Falko Anton , Naumenko Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery ( FESS ) is the gold standard for the treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis worldwide. The task of the otorhinolaryngologist is aimed at restoring the function of the osteomyetal complex . However, the tactics of the postoperative period, especially the topical form of treatment, remain an extremely important issue. The purpose of the study: Determination of the influence of the topical form of N-acetylcysteine on the speed of recovery of patients after FESS, compared to standardized topical treatment, based on the sino-nasal outcome test. The study was carried out at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Bogomolets National Medical University  on the basis of the Oleksandriv Clinical Hospital of Kyiv together with the CNME "Kremenchuk City Hospital of Planned Treatment",  Kremenchuk. A population of 96 patients aged 18 to 60 with a diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis after surgical treatment. The randomization method was two groups of patients were formed. 1st group (study) - 47 patients who received irrigation of the topical form of N-acetylcysteine. 2nd group (control) - 49 patients who received topical therapy using irrigation of 0.9% NaCl solution. The volume of surgical intervention of both groups of the study: Endonasal endoscopic maxillotomy, septoplasty , bilateral vasotomy of the lower nasal turbinates. To participate in the study, all participants had to sign an informed consent. All patients were surveyed using the SNOT22 test on the 1st day before surgery treatment and on the 3rd, 10th and 28th days after surgical treatment.According to the obtained results, the effectiveness of both methods of topical treatment was revealed (p=0.001). However, the use of topical N -acetylcysteine in patients of the study group has more effective dynamics of symptoms, according to the SNOT -22 questionnaire on the 3rd (p=0.034), 10th (p=0.002) and 28th day (p=0.001) after surgical treatment. Therefore, the topical form of N-acetylcysteine has an effective effect on the speed of recovery of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and improves the quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after FESS.
Vernacular Geopolitics through Grand Strategy Video Games: Online Content on Ukraine in Europa Universalis IV as a Response to the Russo-Ukrainian War
Authors: Lassin Jacob
Published: October 2023

Europa Universalis IV, (better known as EUIV), is a popular grand strategy PC game. Players choose a country to play as and start in the year 1444 with the option to plot new courses in history such as allowing players to form Ruthenia, the game’s version of Ukraine. In this article, I investigate how both Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian online content creators have been making content related to Ruthenia and Ukraine as a response to Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. I highlight how this content allows creators and viewers to voice their opinions on the war, build a sense of solidarity with the Ukrainian military, debate issues related to the war, and raise money for Ukrainians in need. Through close readings of this content, I offer an analysis of how this community uses the game to build a "vernacular geopolitics" in which information about and understandings of international relations and conflicts develop in non-elite settings.

Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Reshytko Tetiana
Published: October 2023

The article examines modern trends in the development of international trade relations in the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy as one of the determining factors in the context of European integration. Peculiarities of Ukraine's participation in agricultural export-import operations are analyzed. It was emphasized that Ukraine is currently at the initial stage of entering the world agricultural markets, domestic food exports are dominated by raw materials or products with little added value, and the export of ready-made food products has not acquired significant volumes. It was determined that due to the agrarian sector of the economy, the food supply of the state, the national market and export potential are formed. It was noted that Ukraine's adherence to the principles and rules of conduct in international trade and other economic relations determined by international unions and organizations contributes to the development of foreign economic trade activities. There has been indicated the need to implement a number of measures to adapt the market environment, build regulatory mechanisms on harmonized institutional bases, for mutually beneficial integration of Ukraine and the EU. It has been studied that with the beginning of the Free Trade Zone with the European Union functioning, Ukraine ensures the approximation of the domestic agricultural sector to the market conditions of management, carries out adaptation to the Common Agrarian Policy of the EU. It has been proven that the dynamics of foreign trade in agricultural products of Ukraine with EU countries indicates a rapid and mutually beneficial strengthening of economic ties, reciprocal attractiveness of trade in food products. Studies show that the agricultural sector of Ukraine has demonstrated positive dynamics in the development of international trade in agricultural and food products in recent years. Emphasis is placed on creating more favorable conditions for the activation of foreign economic trade relations, which should become a strategic priority of the state.
The Essence of Tax Planning and Factors Influencing the Quality of Tax Plans
Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Lysenko Alla
Published: October 2023

The article examines the approaches of scientists to the interpretation of the concept of tax planning and found that in most publications the attention of scientists is focused on the study of the essence, types, and methods of tax planning, but due attention is not paid to the study of factors influencing the quality of tax plans. The author's definition of the essence of tax planning is proposed, taking into account its implementation at the level of business entities, as well as relevant state and territorial management bodies. At the same time, tax planning is considered as a system of measures formed within the framework of current tax legislation, aimed at the level of economic entities to optimize the tax burden and reduce tax risks, and at the level of the state and territories - to determine the optimal tax parameters and rational decisions of the relevant state and territorial management bodies, aimed at providing a justified (within the tax potential) volume of tax revenues to the budgets of different levels. Attention is focused on the fact that the tax planning process should be based on taking into account both the national approach and the activities of business entities, that the field of tax planning involves the use of exclusively legal, legally permissible approaches when developing ways to reduce the level of the tax burden on the business entity, and tax planning serves as the basis for the development of decisions in the field of taxation management and must be carried out taking into account the requirements of current tax legislation. External, internal, objective, subjective, main, secondary, permanent, variable, intensive, extensive, general, specific, direct, indirect, complex and simple factors that exert a significant influence on the quality of tax plans are characterized. It is proposed to distribute the factors according to the established groups, which in the future will ensure the assessment of the influence of such factors on the results of the formation and quality of tax plans.

Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Semkiv Mariana
Published: October 2023

Today, it is acute the issue of preserving ethno-cultural heritage and the diversity of peoples, ethnic groups and tribal communities. In addition to the processes of globalization, scientific and technical development and the growth of information loads, the Covid-19 pandemic, the military invasion of the territory of Ukraine, natural and anthropogenic cataclysms had no less impact on the tourism industry and on preserving the unique peoples’ culture. As a result, among consumers of tourist services, there are increased attention to their safety during travel and interest in their own roots, culture and traditions, as well as in the cultures and identity of other peoples. This, in turn, caused for popularity growth of tours with ethnographic elements. Nevertheless, ethnographic tourism is still an understudied part of the modern tourism industry. That is why in the paper provides a monographic analysis of the essence and approaches to defining the concept of «ethnographic tourism». Also, there are revealed the peculiarities of ethnographic tourism. There have been highlighted differences of ethnographic tourism among such types of tourism as ethnocultural, ethnic, nostalgic, ethno-educational, ecological-ethnographic and anthropological. It was determined that the concept of ethnographic tourism is broader, unlike the above-mentioned concepts, and includes certain features of each of this types of tourism. The author proposed his own interpretation of ethnographic tourism concept, according to which ethnographic tourism is a type of tourism that has adjacent features with cultural-cognitive, ethnic, ethno-cultural, nostalgic, ethno-cognitive, ecological-ethnographic and anthropological types of tourism, the objects of which often overlap, and the main purpose of which is to learn about the ethno-cultural heritage of the visited area.
Aspekte der Verfassungsinterpretation in der Schweiz
Authors: Grüninger Christoph
Published: October 2023

Vermehrt wurden in der Schweiz durch Volksinitiativen Grundprinzipien zur Disposition gestellt, z.B. im Bereich des Ausschaffungsrechts oder in der Religionsfreiheit. Solche Verfassungsvorlagen werfen die Frage nach ihrem Verhältnis zu vorbestehendem Verfassungsrecht auf. Dies stellt nicht nur die Justiz vor Herausforderungen. Auch der Bundesgesetzgeber muss sich im Zuge der gesetzgeberischen Umsetzung mit den Verfassungstexten angenommener Volksinitiativen befassen. Wegen der fehlenden Möglichkeit einer abstrakten verfassungsgerichtlichen Kontrolle von Bundesgesetzen ist es zentral, dass Politik und Justiz sich ihrer Grenzen des interpretatorisch Zulässigen bewusst sind. Die Wahrung der Grenzen zwischen Recht und Politik ist für den demokratischen Rechtsstaat evident. Christoph Grüninger stellt in seiner Dissertation die methodischen und institutionellen Grundlagen des Verfassungsrechts dar und macht für die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen der Verfassungsinterpretation konkrete Ausführungen und Vorschläge.
Sandwiched women: Health behavior, health, and life satisfaction
Authors: Kartseva Marina A. , Peresetsky Anatoly A.
Published: October 2023

This paper studies the impact of sandwich generation caregiving on the health behavior, self-assessed health and life satisfaction of Russian women. It presents evidence that sandwich generation caregiving reduces the likelihood of medical examinations, and regular meals. Alcohol consumption and likelihood of smoking are reduced. The like­lihood of obesity increases, the proportion of chronic diseases decreases, and self-assessed health improves. The proportion of depression decreases. These effects may be the result of an inattentive attitude to one’s health and a consciousness of the social significance of fulfilling one’s duty. These effects vary with socio-demographic characteristics.

Authors: Astiarani Yunisa , Putri Giovani Indah Giantoro , Fitriah Nur
Published: October 2023

Background: Little is known about the perceived health of the Indonesian Deaf despite the rapid growth of the Deaf community and social organizations. Objective: The study aimed to investigate self-perceived health and related determinants among deaf adults in a Deaf community in East Java, Indonesia. Method: A survey study was conducted on 102 community members. Perceived health was assessed using a question: ‘In a scale of 1 to 10, how much will you give to rate your health?’. After stepwise suggestion and collinearity analysis, the association of demographic and health conditions was analyzed using logistic regression.Result: A High perceived health scale was reported from 77% of the members. Low perceived health was mainly stated by individuals from the 25–45 age, female, married, and working groups. Although most had no health complaints in the last month, 60% were hospitalized in the previous year. Lower educational levels, owned health insurance, frequently consuming vegetables, and fruits, and never being hospitalized were associated (p<0.05) with higher self-perceived health. Conclusion: Despite the high self-perceived health reported from most Deaf community members, the overall self-reported health conditions of Deaf community members are still a concern due to the high rate of hospitalization and lack of objective health assessment.

Background: Data on hearing and speech outcomes following cochlear implantation in prelingual sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) children with cochlear nerve hypoplasia, especially in Indonesia, is still limited. Purpose: To evaluate the hearing and speech function of prelingual SNHL children who had undergone cochlear implantation. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 28 children who had undergone cochlear implantation procedures at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, for more than 12 months. The hearing and speech function of the subjects were assessed using the modified Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP-II) and the speech intelligibility rating (SIR) scores. Result: Children with cochlear nerve hypoplasia showed an increase in CAP-II and SIR scores after using cochlear implants for more than 12 months (versus pre-surgery, high CAP score [≥5]: 89.3% [25/28 children] vs 3.6% [1/28 children] and high SIR score [≥3]: 82.1% [23/28 children] vs 7.1% [2/28 children]; both p<0.001). Post-operative CAP-II and post-operative SIR scores were highly positively correlated (r=0.705, p<0.001). Type of cochlear nerve hypoplasia (unilateral vs bilateral) were not significantly associated with post-operative CAP-II and SIR scores (p=0.382 and p=0.459, respectively). Conclusion: Prelingual SNHL children with cochlear nerve hypoplasia may still get the benefit from cochlear implantation, as shown by a remarkable improvement in hearing and speech function as assessed with the CAP-II and SIR scores.

The main respondents in this study were young mothers aged 18-40 years who used Fatimah Grass as part of their traditional medicine or health support. The results showed that Fatimah Grass still has an important role in the daily lives of young mothers in the community. Fatimah grass is used by young mothers for various purposes, such as improving reproductive health, postpartum recovery, and increasing milk production. The use of Fatimah Grass by young mothers is also related to tradition, knowledge passed down from generation to generation, as well as perceptions of the safety and effectiveness of the plant. Social factors, including family support and influences from the surrounding community, also influence the use of Fatimah Grass by young mothers.

Verification and validation of embedded software in an automotive context: a systematic literature review
Authors: Arcanjo Renato Rafael , Martins Luiz Eduardo Galvão , Fernandes Dirceu Lavoisier Graci
Published: October 2023

In automotive context, the embedded software Verification and Validation (V&V) is always a critical step for each project that involves testing solutions for new function, system optimization and compliance with legal requirements. However, automotive software V&V is laborious and time-consuming. Activities such as planning workshops at test tracks and public roads and functionality and durability tests require significant effort and robust coordination. The rigorous management and storage of test results are also a challenge. This review consolidates the state of the art on automotive software V&V to realize the most common standards in the industry and understand current testing concepts. The consolidated knowledge will help in the future development of a flexible V&V framework for embedded automotive software. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was performed by searching four digital libraries from 2011 to March 2022. Sixty-two papers were selected, which indicated that the automotive software V&V process is usually based on the ISO 26262 standard and that the software development life cycle V-model is the most common test platform in the automotive domain. Automotive software for a specific domain has been developed to cover a wide variety of vehicles. Variables from specific regions or countries can influence the entire V&V process for automotive software, such as differences in homologation requirements, infrastructure, driver behavior, customer desires, and electromagnetic force interference. The SLR identified specific characteristics of automotive software and regional factors that can affect the V&V process, as well as significant considerations to ensure correct decision-making, resource allocation, and support of team members.

The article considers the main models of formation and development of the transitive economy of Ukraine on a market basis. It is shown that these models reflect the methodological positions of scientists to assess the state of real economic processes in the country and forecast the new economic reality. It is revealed that, as before, the reference point for all methodological developments of domestic authors is the externally imposed neoliberal model of market reality, which has developed in Western European countries. The article shows that the choice of one's own model of functioning and development, adequate to the problematic Ukrainian transitional economy, should be balanced, taking into account its real state and opportunities for self-development.
Transnational Human Rights Advocacy and the Judicial Review of Global Intelligence Agency Cooperation in Canada
Authors: Hudson Graham
Published: October 2023

[Introduction]: “It is axiomatic that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 contributed to fundamental revisions in thinking about how to address the threats posed by transnational terrorism. To be sure, international terrorism had been a subject of domestic and international concern since at least the 1960s. However, technological advances, changes in global power dynamics, the fall of the Soviet Union, the subsequent proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, greater mobility of people and material goods across borders, enhanced communicative capacities, and the aggravation of colonial and cold war-based regional conflicts have contributed to a fundamental change in the nature and gravity of terrorist threats. By the 1990s, non-state terrorist groups had become extremely well-funded, well-resourced, and organized, while forces of globalization had enhanced their capacity to deploy these resources to inflict large-scale damage across great distances.”
The Never-Ending Story? Charkaoui (Re) and the Virtues of Persistence
Authors: Hudson Graham
Published: October 2023

If at first you do not succeed, try, try again. These words of wisdom convey the ethos of human rights advocacy: paucities of political power, limited financial resources, public indifference (if not outright hostility), and the slow pace of social change regularly conspire to cast those who persist in the fight for justice as idealistic at best, naïve at worst. Such has certainly been the experience of those who have launched a barrage of constitutional challenges to our post-9/11 security certificate regime; a regime that allows the government to detain and deport non-citizens who are deemed to be, among other things, a threat to national security. Despite compelling arguments and the persuasive authority of developing international and foreign law, the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal repeatedly refused to intervene on behalf of persons named in certificates. Relying on deep-rooted assumptions about the administrative “nature” of certificate proceedings, as well as the limited rights to which non-citizens are entitled, Federal judges did little to infuse enhanced procedural protections into what have progressively been recognized to be quasi-criminal proceedings.

Published: October 2023

Thousands of people across Canada are struggling to find affordable and adequate housing. The following study is an analysis of housing policy in Canada, in order to shed light on its past shortcomings. After applying the advocacy coalition framework, I will demonstrate how the federal government has historically divided into two main coalitions when it comes to addressing inadequate housing in Canada; the market housing coalition and the social housing coalition. By implementing a process tracing methodological approach, I will examine the effects of past housing policy and how it has led to present-day legislation. I will conclude that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised housing advancements and through incremental changes, he has established, for the first time ever in Canada, the right to housing.

Urban securitization and inland border enforcement
Authors: Hudson Graham , Kovalchuk Sasha
Published: October 2023

[Introduction]: "The securitization of (sub-)urban spaces has produced new practices and agents of border control (Parmar, 2020; Back & Sinha, 2018; Weber, 2015, 2013). Police, by-law officers, and angents of public institutions like schools and hospitals are joined by private actors (e.g. employers, landlords) in the management of perceived threats to state and citizen at the local scale. The policing of migrants is part of much broader dynamics of militarized policing and nation-building, where non-citizens are limped in with citizens as "internal dangerous foreigner" owing to ascribed markers of social difference like race, gender, and class (Dhamoon & Abu-Laban, 2009; Kinsman et al., 2000). But it does have distinct implications for migrants. often seen as a site of hope, refuge, and belonging, the city is also a site within whih derneral authorities project their power most intensely."
Robust point and variance estimation for ecological and evolutionary meta-analyses with selective reporting and dependent effect sizes
Authors: Yang Yefeng , Lagisz Malgorzata , Williams Coralie , Pan Jinming , Noble Daniel , Nakagawa Shinichi
Published: October 2023

Meta-analysis produces a quantitative synthesis of evidence-based knowledge, shaping not only research trends but also policy and practices in ecology and evolution. However, two statistical issues, selective reporting and statistical dependence, can severally distort meta-analytic evidence. Here, we propose a two-step procedure to tackle these challenges concurrently and re-analyse 448 ecological and evolutionary meta-analyses. First, we employ bias-robust weighting schemes under the generalized least square estimator to obtain less biased population mean effect sizes by mitigating selective reporting. Second, we use cluster-robust variance estimation to account for statistical dependence and reduce bias in estimating standard errors, ensuring valid statistical inference. Re-analyses of 448 meta-analyses show that ignoring the two issues tends to overestimate effect sizes by an average of 110% and underestimate standard errors by 120%. Our approach is effective at mitigating these biases in meta-analytic evidence. To facilitate the implementation, we have developed a website showing the step-by-step tutorial available on our website. Complementing the current meta-analytic practice with the proposed method can facilitate a transition to a more pluralistic approach in quantitative evidence synthesis in ecology and evolution.

Kesehatan perempuan dan anak merupakan salah satu isu yang krusial dalam pencapaian pembangunan kesehatan di seluruh dunia. Semua persoalan ini harus segera dipecahkan utamanya melalui kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat dengan mengimplementasikan Iptek yang telah dihasilkan oleh penelitian Tim beberapa tahun terakhir pada masyarakat di Kecamatan Wringinanom Kabupaten Gresik. Tujuan kegiatan dan target kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini adalah memberikan solusi sebagai berikut; 1) melakukan pendampingan pencatatan mandiri terkait kesehatan reproduksi perempuan dan anak; 2) penguatan jaringan perempuan melalui teknologi informasi; 3) Memberdayakan Kader Kesehatan PKK. Pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan mulai persiapan, pelaksanaan, monitoring dan evaluasi. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara mengadakan pretest dan postest. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa kesehatan reproduksi bukan sekadar masalah medis, melainkan juga masalah sosial dan kultural. Bukan karena perempuan yang bersalah karena kurang memahami dan menjadi tidak peduli terhadap kondisi kesehatannya sendiri, tetapi lebih terkait pada akses yang tidak sensitif pada situasi yang dihadapi perempuan. Oleh karena itu, perlu upaya bersama untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan perempuan terkait kesehatan reproduksi dan anak balita untuk mencapai Sustainable Development Goals ketiga yaitu kehidupan yang sehat dan sejahtera.

Основна увага статті зосереджена на періоді після 24 лютого 2023 р. – після повномасштабного вторгнення. Український досвід є унікальним і його добре вивчають у всьому світі. Повномасштабне вторгнення 2022 р. довело важливість стратегічних комунікацій. Український досвід не схожий на будь-яку іншу країну, з помилками і досягненнями, із залученням усіх рівнів комунікацій, а також елементів стратегічних комунікацій. По суті, це практична демонстрація інтеграції стратегічних комунікацій і військових операцій.

У статті проведено аналіз застосування безпілотних літальних апаратів в російсько-українській війні. За результатами аналізу зроблено висновок про зміну підходу Росії до використання безпілотних літальних апаратів у цій війні – з пріоритету оперативних безпілотних літальних апаратів на тактичні. Описано роль БПЛА в підвищенні ефективності функціонування систем ситуаційної обізнаності «Дельта» та «Кропива». Розглянуто зміну тактики у використанні засобів електронної боротьби через масове використання БПЛА на полі бою. Розглянуто зміну підходів у застосуванні БПЛА оперативного рівня після посилення протиповітряної оборони та радіоелектронної боротьби обома сторонами військового конфлікту. Проаналізовано роль військово-цивільного співробітництва в забезпеченні Сил оборони України БПЛА та підготовці операторів БПЛА. Крім того, в статті розглянуто БПЛА як ключовий компонент стратегічної комунікації України, який полегшує розповсюдження інформації в реальному часі та висвітлення в ЗМІ. Отримання даних у реальному часі за допомогою БПЛА значно покращує можливості прийняття рішень на полі бою, сприяючи обґрунтованішим та ефективнішим стратегічним діям.
Cutaneous Larva Migrans on the Hand

Published: October 2023

Cutaneous larva migrans results from infection by zoonotic nematode larvae, usually by animal hookworm larvae, and is a condition that is not uncommon in rural communities. The usual site of this lesion is on the feet, where larval penetration from soil takes place. Unusual sites such as the upper extremity and groin are very rare. We report a case of cutaneous larva migrans on the hand (unusual site) from Kelantan, Malaysia.

Miss A is a 23-year-old Malay female diagnosed with a Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) associated with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and feeding problem because of a severe micrognathic mandible. She required a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device to sleep at night. The mandible was successfully treated with distraction osteogenesis. Her OSA improved, and her feeding problem was alleviated. Thus, she no longer needs a CPAP device.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a rapidly growing benign lesion of the skin and mucous membrane.  Its etiology is still unclear. It is suggested to have arisen either due to trauma or hormonal influences. Pyogenic granuloma is regularly found in the oral cavity. Even though it is rare, it does occur in the nasal cavity and a few cases of pyogenic granuloma have been reported among the paediatric population. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy, who presented with unilateral nasal blockage and recurrent epistaxis. The child has a history of allergic rhinitis and frequent nasal picking.  Clinical examination revealed a small broad based reddish mass at the anterior part of the right inferior turbinate. The histopathological examination from complete excisional biopsy was consistent with pyogenic granuloma. Although pyogenic granuloma is relatively rare, we should raise suspicion in young patients who complain of progressive unilateral nasal blockage and recurrent epistaxis, with or without a history of trauma. Thorough clinical examination is adequate in small lesion thus sparing the need for radiological investigation for bigger and extensive lesions. Complete excision is the ultimate treatment to avoid recurrence.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of abemaciclib with endocrine therapy (ET) versus ET alone for HR+, HER2−, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer in Italy

Background: Abemaciclib was recently approved by the European Medicines Agency in combination with adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) for adult patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2−), node-positive early breast cancer (EBC) at high risk of recurrence.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of abemaciclib plus ET vs. ET alone in patients with HR+, HER2−, node-positive EBC at high risk of disease recurrence, from the Italian healthcare system perspective.
Methods: A cohort state transition model was developed with five states: invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), nonmetastatic recurrence, remission, metastatic recurrence, and death. The analysis had a time horizon of 30 years. Individual patient-level data from the monarchE trial (NCT03155997) were used to generate IDFS estimates. Resource use included drug acquisition/administration, best supportive care, terminal care, adverse events, hospitalization, post-progression therapy, and associated resource use in the metastatic disease health state. Health state utilities were derived from monarchE patient-level data and other sources, applying Italian tariffs where feasible.
Results: The estimated total discounted costs (€39,249 vs. €16,806; difference: €22,443) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) (11.49 vs. 10.50; difference: 0.99) were higher for abemaciclib plus ET compared with ET alone. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was €22,651 per QALY gained. The likelihood of abemaciclib plus ET being cost-effective vs. ET alone was 99% at a willingness-to-pay threshold of €30,000 per QALY gained.
Conclusion: Abemaciclib plus ET is a cost-effective treatment option vs. ET alone for those with HR+, HER2− node-positive EBC at high risk of recurrence in Italy.
Unmet need: definitions, literature evidence and implications for HTA
Authors: Jommi Claudio , Meregaglia Michela , Pinto Carmine
Published: October 2023

The present paper illustrates the definition of unmet need provided by the peer-reviewed literature and the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) authorities across Europe in the assessment and appraisal process and within the early access schemes for medicines.
The analysis relied on a descriptive review of the peer-reviewed literature and HTA documents on the definition of need (disease severity) and the way it is satisfied (existence and validity of alternatives).
HTA agencies were found using (i) a narrow definition of need, focused on the clinical impact and the impact on health-related quality of life of the disease and (ii) a broad definition of comparators, including treatments used off-label in the clinical practice. Most of the contributions of the literature advocated for a broader definition of need, including additional dimensions (for example, the socio-economic impact of the disease) and the effects of existing treatments beyond their risk-benefit profile (for example, acceptability to patients).
On the one hand, these contributions should be considered by HTA agencies, considering its multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder nature. On the other one, the explicit inclusion of the unmet need domains, at present disregarded, should depend on the decisions taken on the ground of the assessment.
