Published: November 2024

Motor transport remains one of the most popular modes of transport. It takes the leading place in terms of passenger traffic and the fourth in cargo traffic. The importance of road transport is undeniable, as evidenced by the increase in its number from 0.5 billion units. up to 1.15 billion units. in the world. Project management of this type of transport increases the performance indicators of enterprises and organizations, the work of state and municipal authorities. Enterprises of agriculture, industry, trading, passenger transportation, transport, etc. have the largest number of vehicles. The basis of efficient use of vehicles is quality transport infrastructure. In Ukraine, it includes the ways of international, national, regional and local connections. In connection with the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, the occupation of part of the territory of our country, the condition of the road surface has suffered serious damage or destruction. The deterioration of transport infrastructure is evidenced by the Infrastructure Index, according to which Ukraine took 46th place, which was influenced by the crisis state of the economy, political instability, difficult business operating conditions, infrastructure environment, etc. The main challenges in managing projects under martial law were: the growth of logistics costs (60 %), lack of personnel (58 %), blocking of free shipping (54 %), queues at border crossings (45 %), restrictions on Ukrainian exports by neighboring EU countries (38 %). As part of the implementation of existing projects, many enterprises suffered significant losses, lost customers, increased expenses for storing products in warehouses, stopped production and delivery of products for export, or went bankrupt and were liquidated. In the current situation, the state government must ensure favorable conditions for the implementation of projects through the attraction of domestic and foreign investments, provide guarantees and insurance against the risks of loss of capital and cargo, promote the formation and functioning of strategic universal transport hubs. Taking into account global trends, companies should focus their attention on the management and implementation of road transport projects related to the processes of automation and digitization, development and implementation of artificial intelligence, last-mile delivery, optimization and stabilization of the supply chain.
The concept of «ecological business systems» as a tool for adapting the theory of enterprise development to the conditions of the post-industrial economy
Authors: Omelchuk Dmytro
Published: November 2024

The article contains an attempt to position the theoretical publications of Ukrainian scientists in the discourse of adaptation of the enterprise development theory to the conditions of the post-industrial economy, which should ensure the clarification of both the scope of the possible application of the concept of «ecological business systems» for the development of domestic managerial practices, and contribute to the harmonization of the conceptual foundations of the domestic management with modern trends in the development of strategic management of developed countries. The methodological foundations of the article are formed by three basic principles. First, there is a fundamentally different nature of the manifestation of the scale effect for organizations that differ by the place of innovative activity in the system of factors of their competitiveness and, accordingly, by the priority of investing in human capital. Secondly, the dependence of the intensity of STP’s potential using in a certain business organization on its belonging to the «intersectoral network of extracting economic benefits from the STP’s achievements» and its ability to achieve the organicity of the internal environment for the formation of management decisions with the space for the movement of information (ideas, leading experience, decision-making procedures and production efficiency standards) formed within such a network. Thirdly, the combination of technological and institutional concepts of assessing the organization’s potential, which involves the study of actual business results as a consequence of deviation from the technologically achievable optimum, due to the shortcomings of institutional capacity.
Modern urban processes as a basis for strategic management of urban development: a contribution to the methodology of scientific research
Authors: Shevchenko Olga , Shevchuk Oleh
Published: November 2024

Steady and long-term trends in urban development require an update of the methodology for studying urban processes. The digitalization of public space, the growing scale of urbanization and the increasing requirements for the environmental safety of urban space pose a challenge to city authorities and lead to changes in approaches to urban development strategy. The relevance of the article is determined by the weakness of the scientific foundations of urban space management and the narrow methodology of researching modern urban processes. It is proved that the inability of the existing tools to regulate urban development in the strategic dimension is due to the lack of a scientific basis for the strategic management of urban development. The aim of the article is to highlight modern urban processes and to reveal approaches to strategic urban management in Ukraine. It is recommended to modify the system of strategic management of urban development in Ukraine on the basis of strengthening the implicit nature of urban policy and modernizing the methodology of urban processes research.
The paradigms of chemical engineering

For the evolution of chemical engineering is useful the definition proposed by Kuhn, which defines a scientific paradigm as: "universally recognized scientific achievements that, for a time, provide model problems and solutions for a community of practitioners” (Kuhn, 1996).11 From the ancient times applied chemistry meant an art, a trade for obtaining salt, caustic soda, soap, sulfuric acid, sugar, glass-things in rudimentary workshops. Traditional recipes have been transferred with minor, empirical improvements gained from observation. This period can be considered as the empirical stage of chemical engineering.
The development of the variety and the amounts of the chemical products, mainly in the last quarter of the 19th century, imposed a new stage, respectively the rational stage of chemical engineering. The empirical rules and practices were abandoned for rational scientific methods. The transition to this stage is especially owing to the great progresses of physical chemistry. In 1885 prof. H.E. Amstrong has taught at Central College of London the first chemical engineering course. In this course fundamental scientific training was combined with technical practice for design of chemical industry equipment. It may be considered that at this moment the rational stage of chemical engineering begins.
In 1887 prof. Geoge Davies from Manchester Technical College has taught a lot of chemical engineering lessons. These lessons were the roots of his further Handbook of Chemical Engineering published in 1901.
The practical value of Davies lessons from this book consists in the variety and abundance of the technical end economical data. Due to the lack of scientific explanations, in fact this book belongs to empirical stage and is a document of what meant chemical engineering at that stage Bratu.1.

Published: November 2024

Malaria imparts significant public health concern in humanitarian emergency settings in endemic areas from a relatively more compromised and flaccid disease surveillance and monitoring practice compared to that in peace time situation. Incurring a chronically high malaria case morbidity and mortality Africa and south-east Asia additionally suffer from human caused conflict and war led population migration and displacement crises intermittently to exacerbate malaria burden in the two regions. The patterns and trends in the transmission dynamics of malaria infections in peace time and plain areas is considered to be complicated with in-country as well as cross-border human movement to and from the endemic and/or non-endemic territories. This ends in with developing imported or introduced plasmodial infections in an area that stands as the key challenge for controlling or eliminating malaria there. Then exploring malaria situation and experiences in some key refugee camps in Africa and south-east Asia in this review paper has helped us add new experiences and ideas of fighting malaria to the existing data base of the disease. The acute and unstable humanitarian settings in malaria endemic areas intrigue the disease transmission dynamics and the toll with greater fluctuation in terms of case morbidity and mortality compared with that in chronic and unstable humanitarian emergency situations. This and other overviews here will definitely better guide malaria elimination efforts, especially in humanitarian emergencies in the two endemic regions in an integrated and comprehensive way.

The waste problem will become a major problem for humans and the environment if not handled properly. Some people still do not understand the importance of waste sorting with the 3R concept. The community's dependence on chemical fertilizers needs to be given an alternative replacement through the manufacture of organic fertilizers. The method of implementing this community service is counseling and training. In the counseling session, material was given on environmental conservation with the 3R concept (reduce, reuse, recycle). In the second session, material was given on how to make eco-enzymes from fruit waste. Participants in the counseling and training were the Kedungmulyo Farmers Group, Kedungjati Village, Balerejo District, Madiun Regency. Ecoenzymes are useful for liquid plant fertilizers and can be sprayed on plants, pest repellents, a mixture of washing soap and floor cleaners, and river water cleaners. Participants can understand the material on environmental conservation through waste sorting with the 3R concept (reuse, reduce, recycle). Participants can understand and practice making eco-enzymes. The method of making ecoenzyme is to put in leftover fruit and/or vegetables plus white sugar/brown sugar (molasses)/cane molasses plus water, ratio 3:1:10. Next, the mixture of ingredients is put into a bottle/gallon, given an exhaust air channel through a small hose. The end of the hose is put in water in a small bottle to make it sterile. The ecoenzyme fermentation process lasts for 3 months.

The Indonesian Pencak Silat Team made a brilliant achievement at the 2018 Asian Games by winning 14 gold medals and 1 bronze medal. Seeing the increasing popularity of Pencak Silat, identifying the physiological characteristics of these athletes is very interesting, but currently there are not many studies that examine this. Therefore, this study aims to examine the physiological profile of male Pencak Silat athletes at the Bumi Siliwangi club. This observational study involved two testing sessions, namely a laboratory session to measure anthropometry, VO2max, flexibility, agility, and anaerobic power, and a field session to analyze match performance, including technique, heart rate, and lactic acid levels. The results showed that athletes had an average height of 166.44 cm, a BMI of 20.1 kg/m², a body fat percentage of 11.89%, and a muscle percentage of 37.53%. The average flexibility is 21.08 cm, agility is 5.63 seconds, peak power is 624.64 watts, and average power is 459.37 watts. This study concludes that Pencak Silat is an intermittent sport with moderate to high intensity, then the results of the study stated that pencak silat athletes from the Bumi Siliwangi club have physiological characteristics that are almost similar to athletes from other Asian countries. Thus, this study can be used to strengthen and become a reference for other research.

Introdução: A síndrome da Morte Súbita do Lactente (SMSL) é definida como morte súbita, inesperada e inexplicada de um bebê aparentemente saudável com menos de um ano de idade. É a principal causa de mortalidade pós-neonatal no primeiro ano nos países desenvolvidos, no entanto, no Brasil, a síndrome é subdiagnosticada e pouco documentada. Objetivo: Identificar na literatura as características socioepidemiológicas, comportamentais e ambientais da SMSL no Brasil. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa com coleta por meio das bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e LILACS. Resultados: Foram identificados 53 artigos, dos quais 15 compuseram esta revisão. Dez estudos analisaram o número de prováveis casos de SMSL, seis foram realizados no Rio Grande do Sul, dois em Ribeirão-Preto (SP), um em Belo Horizonte (MG) e um no Distrito Federal. Também se encontraram cinco pesquisas que abordaram a prevalência de fatores de risco associados a SMSL e o conhecimento das mães acerca de hábitos seguros de sono. Não foram encontrados estudos que investigaram dados sócio epidemiológicos referentes à síndrome nas regiões norte e nordeste. Conclusão: Os estudos brasileiros relataram a presença de fatores de risco semelhantes ao descrito na literatura mundial, como posição prona, coleito, sexo masculino e tabagismo materno.

Published: November 2024

Introdução: A endometriose, especialmente em sua forma infiltrativa profunda, é uma doença crônica que afeta negativamente a qualidade de vida das mulheres, causando sintomas debilitantes e impactando várias esferas pessoais. Entre as manifestações mais graves, a endometriose profunda intestinal requer, em alguns casos, a cirurgia de ressecção intestinal, uma abordagem que pode aliviar os sintomas, mas também acarretar complicações significativas. Objetivo: Investigar a qualidade de vida de mulheres com endometriose intestinal que foram submetidas à cirurgia de ressecção intestinal. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, com busca realizada de julho a outubro de 2024, nas bases de dados PUBMED, Scielo e Lilacs, utilizando os descritores: “qualidade de vida” e “endometriose”. Foram encontradas 1.532 publicações, das quais 130 foram selecionadas por títulos e resumos e 47 após leitura na íntegra. Resultados: A ressecção intestinal para endometriose mostrou-se viável e eficaz na melhoria de sintomas gastrointestinais, ginecológicos e da qualidade de vida das pacientes, com taxas de complicação e recorrência baixas a longo prazo. Estudos comparativos sugerem que a abordagem laparoscópica é uma opção favorável em relação a cirurgias abertas, oferecendo menos complicações e melhores resultados em fertilidade, especialmente para endometriose em estágio avançado. Esses dados reforçam a necessidade de um planejamento pré-operatório detalhado e um aconselhamento completo, visto que a avaliação da qualidade de vida pode servir como índice complementar na indicação e sucesso de tratamentos para endometriose. Conclusão: A ressecção intestinal ofereceu melhorias significativas na qualidade de vida de mulheres com endometriose intestinal.

Medications are responsible for more than a quarter of cases of acute kidney failure (AKF) in both outpatient and hospital practice. This is often due to underestimating the safety of prescribed drugs, the over-the-counter availability of medications, insufficient justification for prescriptions, and uncontrolled use. In 70–90 % of cases, acute drug-induced kidney damage presents as acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN), with a mortality rate of around 10 %. This article presents a case of acute kidney injury in a teenage girl following the use of sodium metamizole during the postoperative period. The timely application of two hemodialysis sessions helped avoid disaster, and subsequent monitoring of the patient (enalapril 2.5 mg twice daily, levocarnitine 20 % 1 teaspoon twice daily, dietary restrictions) over nearly two years showed slow recovery of kidney function, which indicates the severe nature of the kidney damage.

Introduction. Nephroptosis, another name for the disease is «wandering kidney», means the prolapse of an organ that can move most often in the lower direction on its side along the retroperitoneal space of the abdomen and even reach the pelvis.

The purpose of the study: to substantiate the need for new diagnostic research methods using the given clinical examples.

Materials and methods. We observed 448 patients with nephroptosis, of whom 132 were operated on using various techniques. We studied the symptoms, paying special attention to somatopsychic abnormalities.

Results. A reference on the pathology of the kidneys – nephroptosis is given, special attention is paid to the incomplete study of clinical manifestations, their connection with functional changes in impaired hemo- and urodynamics, to somatopsychic deviations that are formed in the course of the disease. Vivid clinical examples are given, attention is drawn to the fact that in some cases it is possible to correct somatopsychic deviations only by surgery, which neutralizes hemo- and urodynamic disorders.

Conclusion. Despite numerous studies regarding the diagnosis and treatment of nephroptosis, new algorithms are needed.

Published: November 2024

Modern approaches to the selection and application of preventive measures have undergone significant changes, which have also affected legislative prescriptions providing for quite a variety of types of such measures. A significant influence on the development and evolution of preventive measures was exerted by a change in the legislator's approach to the construction of this system and the significant impact of humanization on criminal procedural activities. The author notes in the article that the prohibition of certain actions is an alternative to the use of detention and house arrest. However, the prohibitions contained in the law require clarification of the procedure, as well as exceptions in their application, and the system of prohibitions themselves requires expansion

Purpose of the study. In order to resolve the problem of measuring communicative competence, it is necessary to determine and analyze the set of its criteria in conciliation procedures when resolving legal disputes and conflicts. Based on the identified criteria of legal and communicative competence, designate a system of indicators for generalizing and measuring the state of the mediator’s level of readiness for practical activities in resolving legal conflicts through conciliation procedures. The study aims to establish the relationship between the motives of a lawyer’s professional activity and life values in order to analyze the value-semantic professional position of a lawyer in the alternative resolution of legal disputes. Conclusions. A detailed consideration and analysis of the professional competence of lawyers is of fundamental importance and high methodological value, since it is motivation that acts as the driving force of behavior and activity in general. Establishing criteria and indicators of a lawyer’s communicative competence in resolving legal disputes represents a single interconnected mechanism that ultimately allows one to form an idea of the mediator’s readiness to carry out professional activities.

Authors:   Institute of History and Archeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yekaterinburg, Russian Federation, SPERANSKY A.V.
Published: November 2024

The paper analyzes the process of socio-cultural transformations that took place in Russia under the influence of radical restructuring of economic and political foundation of the country caused by the overthrow of monarchical regime and the beginning of construction of a socialist society. The paper shows that Yekaterinburg (since 1924 - Sverdlovsk), being a large urban center, was objectively involved in the cycle of revolutionary events and learned all the positive and negative consequences of perturbations associated with the cardinal reform of fundamental cultural spheres of the city. The paper notes that hardships of Russian revolution, horrors of Russian civil war and difficulties of the initial stage of building socialism had a huge impact on the formation of new models for development of literature, theater, cinema, fine arts and music. They also strongly influenced the creative activity of urban artistic intelligentsia and the content of its works. The paper concludes that after several changes of power, Bolsheviks established themselves in the city, in accordance with the directives of the top leadership, sought to create a «new type of culture» that increases cultural level of the population under state control. Therefore, in the end, they limit the «freedom of creativity» inspired by revolutionary illusions, ideological and administrative dictates.

Sustainable Development Goals and the Geosciences: A Review
Authors: Senger Kim
Published: November 2024

The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) collectively represent the global population’s ambition to improve the wellbeing of Earth and its inhabitants by 2030. The ambitious goals require that a dedicated, focused, and integrated effort is taken—now. The geoscientific community is well positioned to positively directly influence many of the SDGs, notably SDGs 7 (Affordable Energy), 11 (Sustainable Cities) and 13 (Climate Action), and may also directly or indirectly contribute to all other SDGs. In this contribution, I systematically review the SDGs in the framework of the broader geosciences. Firstly, I outline the concept of the SDGs and their indicators, before linking them to specific geoscientific disciplines illustrated with case studies. Finally, I present some of the ongoing developments in the geosciences that need to be clearly tied to the global SDG ambitions.

Intentional removal of unwanted information allows us to focus on our current goals. Previous research has shown that suppressing the maintenance of neutral images in working memory can impair access to that information in immediate and delayed memory tests. However, it remains unclear whether maintenance suppression has the same impact on emotionally valenced images. Intrusive thinking (e.g., rumination) often involves negative thoughts that persist as individuals attempt to push them out of mind. Given the emotional nature of intrusive information that can repeatedly enter working memory, it is important to understand how the valence of information affects the ability to remove it. Participants in a non-clinical sample completed a working memory removal experiment using group-normed images with positive and negative valence. Participants encoded two images of the same valence on each trial, were cued to suppress or maintain one of them during a brief delay period, and then responded to a memory probe in which they indicated whether the test image had been presented on the current trial, regardless of whether or how it was cued. Our results demonstrate that participants were faster, relative to uncued items, to endorse an item that had been cued for maintenance, and slower to endorse an item that had been cued for suppression. Importantly, this pattern held for both positive and negative items and did not differ between valences. These findings replicate those obtained using emotionally neutral stimuli. Thus, this study demonstrates that maintenance suppression reduces the accessibility of visual information in working memory, regardless of its emotional valence, and suggests that this cognitive strategy could potentially be an effective tool in reducing intrusive thoughts that occupy the focus of attention.

According to World Health Organization statistics, inappropriate medication has become an important factor affecting the safety of rational medication. In the gray area of medical insurance supervision, such as designated drugstores and medical institutions, there are lots of inappropriate medication phenomena regarding “big prescription for minor ailments.” A traditional clinical decision support system is mostly based on established rules to regulate inappropriate prescriptions, which are not suitable for clinical environments and require intelligent review. In this study, we model the complex relationships between patients, diseases, and drugs based on medical big data to promote appropriate medication use. More specifically, we first construct the medication knowledge graph based on the historical prescription big data of tertiary hospitals and medical text data. Second, based on the medication knowledge graph, we employ a Gaussian mixture model to group patient population representation as physiological features. For diagnostic features, we employ pre-training word vector Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers to enhance the semantic representation between diagnoses. In addition, to reduce adverse drug interactions caused by drug combinations, we employ a graph convolution network to transform drug interaction information into drug interaction features. Finally, we employ the sequence generation model to learn the complex relationships between patients, diseases, and drugs and provide an appropriate medication evaluation for doctor prescriptions in small hospitals from two aspects: drug list and medication course of treatment. In this study, we utilize the MIMIC III dataset alongside data from a tertiary hospital in Fujian Province to validate our model. The results show that our method is more effective than other baseline methods in the accuracy of the medication regimen prediction of rational medication. In addition, it achieved high accuracy in the appropriate medication detection of prescription in small hospitals.

Purpose

We aimed to investigate risk factors for COVID-19 pneumonia in patients with hematological malignancies (HM) after Omicron infection.

Methods

Data from a registered multi-center, prospective, observational study (ChiCTR2300071830) during the latest Omicron BA.5.2 wave in Chongqing, China was used for analysis.

Results

A total of 475 HM patients enrolled in this study. COVID-19 pneumonia was observed in 15.8% (75/475) of patients, with a median age of 58 years (interquartile range [IQR], 48-69 years) and males accounting for 61.3%. Risk factors associated with COVID-19 pneumonia included: 1) Active disease status of HM at infection, with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.42 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.59-7.37, P=0.002) compared to complete remission (CR); 2) Incomplete COVID-19 vaccination, 1-2 doses of the vaccine (OR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.28-5.10, P=0.008) or no vaccination (OR=4.81, 95% CI: 2.45-9.43, P<0.001), as opposed to 3 doses (booster); 3) chemotherapy prior to infection, <6 months (OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.12-5.96, P=0.027) or ≥ 6 months (OR=2.93, 95% CI: 1.31-6.53, P=0.009) compared to no chemotherapy history; 4) NK-cell reduction (< 150/μL) (OR=2.19, 95% CI: 1.27-3.79, P=0.005) versus a normal range of NK cells. During the 6-week follow-up period, 12 patients (2.5%) died, accounting for 16% of COVID-19 pneumonia patients.

Conclusions

Our study investigated risk factors for COVID-19 pneumonia in HM patients after Omicron BA.5.2 infection. Highlights that HM patients with these risk factors may be susceptible to lung involvement after Omicron BA.5.2 infection and need to be taken seriously in clinical practice.

Clinically relevant body composition phenotypes are associated with distinct circulating cytokine and metabolomic milieus in epithelial ovarian cancer patients

Introduction

Preclinical evidence suggests that host obesity is associated with tumor progression due to immuno-metabolic dysfunction, but the impact of obesity on immunity and clinical outcomes in patients is poorly understood, with some studies suggesting an obesity paradox. We recently reported that high-adiposity and low-muscle body composition phenotypes are associated with striking increases in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) mortality and we observed no evidence of an obesity paradox. However, whether at-risk versus optimal body composition phenotypes are associated with distinct immuno-metabolic milieus remains a fundamental gap in knowledge. Herein, we defined differentially abundant circulating immuno-metabolic biomarkers according to body composition phenotypes in EOC.

Methods

Muscle and adiposity cross-sectional area (cm2) was assessed using CT images from 200 EOC patients in The Body Composition and Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Survival Study at Roswell Park. Adiposity was dichotomized as low versus high; patients with skeletal muscle index (SMI) <38.5 (muscle cm2/height m2) were classified as low SMI (sarcopenia). Joint-exposure phenotypes were categorized as: Fit (normal SMI/low-adiposity), Overweight/Obese (normal SMI/high-adiposity), Sarcopenia/Obese (low SMI/high adiposity), and Sarcopenia/Cachexia (low SMI/low-adiposity). Treatment-naïve serum samples were assessed using Biocrates MxP Quant 500 for targeted metabolomics and commercially available Luminex kits for adipokines and Th1/Th2 cytokines. Limma moderated T-tests were used to identify differentially abundant metabolites and cytokines according to body composition phenotypes.

Results

Patients with ‘risk’ phenotypes had significantly increased abundance of metabolites and cytokines that were unique according to body composition phenotype. Specifically, the metabolites and cytokines in increased abundance in the at-risk phenotypes are implicated in immune suppression and tumor progression. Conversely, increased abundance of lauric acid, IL-1β, and IL-2 in the Fit phenotype was observed, which have been previously implicated in tumor suppression and anti-tumor immunity.

Conclusion

In this pilot study, we identified several significantly differentially abundant metabolites according to body composition phenotypes, confirming that clinically significant joint-exposure body composition phenotypes are also biologically distinct. Although we observed evidence that at-risk phenotypes were associated with increased abundance of immuno-metabolic biomarkers indicated in immune suppression, additional confirmatory studies focused on defining the link between body composition and immune cell composition and spatial relationships in the EOC tumor microenvironment are warranted.
