This manuscript presents the results of development and adoption of the confirmatory UPLC- MS/MS method for determination of sulfonamides and trimethoprim residues in whole and powdered cow's milk samples. Sample preparation includes a recovery with water (in the case of milk powder), separation of milk fat by centrifugation at 4 °C, proteins precipitation with acetonitrile using ultrasonic intensification, extraction of analytes with a two-component mixture of organic solvents from weak acidic phosphate buffer solution, concentration of obtained extracts, degreasing and reconstitution with the mobile phase. The use of tandem-mass spectrometric detector in multiple reaction monitoring mode provides high specificity for all ten sulfonamides, which molecules contain the same structural elements, and trimethoprim, as three ion transitions were used for each of the target analytes. The approach of matrix matched calibration on the milk matrix was applied, and it allowed us to disregard taking into consideration the absolute extraction of analytes during sample preparation, as well as the influence of sample matrix components on analytes ionization. The main advantages of the developed technique are simplicity, rapidity and cost effective sample preparation, fast procedure of sample analysis (the time of chromatographic separation is 2.0 min), high selectivity, and sensitivity at the level of ≤ 0.5 μg/kg (as compared with the maximum residues level of sulfonamides in dairy products, viz. 100 μg/kg). According to the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, the values of CCα and CCβ for sulfonamides and trimethoprim in milk were calculated. The capability of the method was confirmed on the basis of the established validation parameters, using spiked milk samples and "added – found" approach. The method was tested during the analysis of spiked samples of whole and powdered cow's milk (CV ~ 20%). The developed technique was verified by interlaboratory comparative testing of milk powder samples for sulfonamides content. The UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of sulfonamides and trimethoprim residues in whole and milk powder samples can be used both for routine laboratory analysis of dairy products and for the examination of suspicious or questionable samples.

Truck platooning has many benefits over traditional truck mobility. Literature shows that platooning improves safety and reduces fuel consumption between 5% and 15% based on platoon configuration. In Illinois, trucks carry more than 50% of freight tonnage and constitute 25% of the traffic on interstates. Deployment of truck platooning within interstate highways would result in significant fuel savings, but may have a direct impact on flexible pavement performance. The channelization of the platoon and reduced rest time between consecutive loads would accelerate the damage accumulation at the channelized position. Ultimately, this would lead to pavement service life reduction and a subsequent increase in maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to quantify the effects of platooning on flexible pavements and provide guidelines for the state of Illinois by considering the aforementioned factors. Although the benefits of platooning are quantifiable, not every truck route is platoonable. For efficient platooning, trucks need to travel at a constant high speed for extended distances. The integrity of the platoon should be preserved because interfering vehicles would compromise the platooning benefits and road safety. An introduced high-level approach considers the volume/capacity of a roadway and the expected number of highway exit and entry conflicts. Using these parameters, each roadway section is assigned a level of platoonability, ranging from one to five—with five being the highest. A framework was developed to analyze the Illinois highway network. It was found that 89% of the network highway is platoonable under average capacity conditions.
Effects of Magnesium Sulfate Therapy on GCS Scores in Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Ali Kazim , Irfan Muhammad , Abbas Rabia
Published: February 2021

Objective:  Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the number one cause of death under 44 years of age; in spite of this fact, there is no standard available pharmacological agent for the treatment of brain injury. We evaluated the effectiveness of magnesium sulfate treatment for the management and outcome of TBI.

Material and Methods:  The prospective cases (n = 60) of TBI were included with non-probability consecutive sampling. They received standard protocol treatment for TBI and magnesium sulfate as an add on therapy. GCS was noted on two occasions, at the time of admission and on the 3rd day. T-test was used to compare the results and for identification of significance/insignificance results.

Results:  Mean age of the patients was 37.12 ± 13.25 years. Majority were male (68.3%), while females were 31.7%. Mean duration of an elapsed post traumatic brain injury was 5.06 ± 2.32 hours. Mean GCS before magnesium sulfate treatment (on admission) was 5.46 ± 1.521; mean Glasgow coma (GCS) after magnesium sulfate treatment (on 3rd day) was 8.03 ± 2.56. There existed a significant difference between the GCS scores at the time of admission and on 3rd day (p value < 0.0001). Mean GCS was 7.69 ± 2.55 in age < 30 years and it was 8.29 ± 2.57 in age > 30 years, but this difference was not statistically significant. 

Conclusion:  A significant improvement was found in the GCS after magnesium sulfate therapy in patients with TBI.
LIBOR Phaseout: Litigation is Coming
Authors: Neubert John
Published: February 2021

This paper will explore the different steps market participants should take to make sure they are prepared when LIBOR is phased out in December 2021. Part I will focus on the actions market participants should do before going into negotiations that can increase their potential to reach a consensual agreement. Part II will explore what financial firms should be prepared for during the negotiation process and what claims may arise when no agreement is reached. The decision for how to handle any LIBOR-linked financial instrument in their portfolio should be left to the discretion of market participants themselves. This paper does not set out to make that decision, but it will communicate the urgency with which firms should act to either reach a consensual agreement or prepare for the legal risk and litigation costs of DEFCON 1.

Sentiment analysis is a broad and expanding field that aims to extract and classify opinions from textual data. Lexicon-based approaches are based on the use of a sentiment lexicon, i.e., a list of words each mapped to a sentiment score, to rate the sentiment of a text chunk. Our work focuses on predicting stock price change using a sentiment lexicon built from financial conference call logs. We present a method to generate a sentiment lexicon based upon an existing probabilistic approach. By using a domain-specific lexicon, we outperform traditional techniques and demonstrate that domain-specific sentiment lexicons provide higher accuracy than generic sentiment lexicons when predicting stock price change.

A worker / laborer is anyone who works and receives wages or other forms of remuneration. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic. The global economy is certain to slow down, following a stipulation from the WHO which mentions the Corona outbreak as a pandemic affecting the business world. The research problem is whether companies affected by COVID -19 can cut wages and / or layoffs of workers? The qualitative research method, with the approach it uses, is juridical normative, looking for problems raised from reading material or literature sourced from library research. The results of           the study show that the reduction in wages for workers due to companies losing money as a result of the COVID -19 outbreak is not based on law and can lead to industrial relations disputes, namely disputes over rights, the company should be able to agree together with workers and / or labor unions regarding changes in the amount and method of wage payment. dive companies affected by Covid-19. Regarding layoffs, there are humanitarian issues that must be prioritized according to the very clear instructions contained in Law no. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, which states that the government and employers with all efforts must avoid layoffs as much as possible.

Kaum feminis berpendapat bahwa sejarah ditulis dari sudut pandang laki-laki dan bukan dari peran perempuan dalam membuat sejarah dan membentuk struktur masyarakat. Kaum feminis menantang dan membongkar keyakinan atau mitos bahwa laki-laki dan perepuan sangat berbeda, sehingga perilaku tertentu dapat dibedakan atas dasar perbedaan gender. Kaum perempuan tidak mendapat tempat yang berarti, bahkan termaginalkan. Diakui atau tidak, domain yang disediakan oleh fiqh politik, misalnya tentang lembaga-lembaga pemerintahan, seperti Imamah, perwakilan, kementerian dan sebagainya. Tampaknya lebih akrab dengan aktivitas laki-laki dibandingkan dengan aktivitas perempuan. Persoalannya tidak sekedar mempertanyakan kembali boleh dan tidaknya perempuan menjadi imam (pemimpin) atau berkuasa, tetapi bagaimana konsepsi Feminis legal theory mengatur nya. Perjuangan feminis harus terus didengungkan terutama agar perempuan bisa ikut terlibat dalam bidang politik dan hukum. Karena perempuan juga mampu terjun dalam kehidupan publik layaknya laki-laki, seperti berkontribusi dalam bidang politik dan sosial.

Feminist argue thet history is writte from the point of view of men and not from the role of woman in making history and shaping the structure of society. Feminist challenge and dismantle the belief or myth that men and woman are very different, sp certain behaviors can be distinguished on the basis of gender differences. Woman have no meaningful place, even marginalized. Recognized or not, the domain provided by political fiqh, for example regarding government institutions, such as Imamat, representatives, ministries and so on. It seems more familiar with men’s activities than with women’s activities. The problem is noy=t just questioning whether women are allowed to be leades or power, but how the concept of feminist legal theory regulates it. Feminist struggle must continue to be echoed, especially so that woman can get involved in politics and law. Because woman are also able to engage in public lime a men, such as contributing in the political and social fields.

Tablet merupakan sediaan yang biasanya umum digunakan dalam pengobatan karena harganya relatif murah. Ibuprofen merupakan bahan obat yang memiliki sifat alir yang buruk, bulk density rendah, dan mengalami deformasi elastis saat proses pengempaan. Penelitian kali ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan perbedaan konsentrasi pengikat sorbitol dan pengancur amilum solani apakah mempengaruhi waktu hancur dari suatu tablet ibuprofen. Kombinasi pengikat bertujuan untuk meningkatkan viskositas dari sorbitol. Metode granulasi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu granulasi basah karena metode ini merupakan metode yang cocok untuk bahan ibuprofen yang memiliki bulk density yang rendah. Selain itu, Metode granulasi basah dapat meningkatkan karakteristik dan sifat-sifat fisik granulasi yang baik karena sifat kohesif pengikat cair dapat menghasilkan ikatan dengan bahan tambahan yang minimal. Uji waktu hancur tablet bertujuan untuk mengetahui berapa waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mula kerja obat. Hasil dari penelitian ini telah membuktikan bahwa semakin rendah konsentrasi bahan pengikat dan semakin tinggi konsentrasi bahan penghancur akan mempercepat waktu hancur obat. Waktu yang telah dihasilkan dari masing-masing formulasi untuk tablet yaitu pada formula 1 sebesar 15 menit, formula 2 sebesar 23 menit, dan formula 3 sebesar 25 menit. Formulasi 1 telah membuktikan bahwa sorbitol dan amilum solani berpengaruh terhadap waktu hancur tablet, sedangkan formulasi 2 dan 3 tidak lolos uji waktu hancur karena konsentrasi pengikat semakin tinggi dan penghancur semakin rendah.

On November 21, 2020, the Dubna University hosted a round table dedicated to the famous work of M. Weber "Science as a vocation and profession", which was attended by university professors, graduate students of all directions. M. Weber's call to rethink the role of science and the scientist as a socially responsible person is more than relevant in connection with the new directions of research development and the changed place of science in society. The question of the values of science in the historical and social context again and again arises as an impulse for the reflection of young scientists about the motives and possibilities of self-realization in the space of science. The speeches of the participants were built around the problems of modern science and scientific communication, the training of young scientists through the institute of postgraduate studies, its role in the educational process and ensuring scientific continuity.

Roman fine pottery from a cellar under Oil-press E.I at Chhim (Lebanon)
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Domżalski Krzysztof
Published: February 2021

The paper considers a set of surprisingly well preserved Eastern Sigillata A and Late Roman C/Phocean Red Slip Ware and D/“Cypriot” Red Sip Ware vessels from the late 1st-early 2nd century AD, found in the bedding fill of a cellar floor of an oil pres building located in the mountain village of Chhim in Lebanon. The set included plates (EAS Forms 35, 37B, 53), a jug (ESA Form 108) and dishes (LRC Form 1?, LRD Form 1). Local plain pottery was represented by Chhim Ware jugs and table amphorae. The deposit was dated contextually to the mid 1st-century AD and linked to the earliest village occupation in the area. It demonstrated that the residents of the village in the early Roman age, most probably involved in the profitable olive-oil industry of the times, had means enough to curry to a fashion for owning some of the best tableware available on the Levantine coastal market.
Deux fragments de portraits funéraires romains de Deir el-Bahari
Authors:   Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kiss Zsolt
Published: February 2021

Two fragments of painted Roman funerary portraits on wooden panels of the Fayum type, discovered in 2001 during a revisiting of the Third Intermediate Period shaft tombs inside the Chapel of Hatshepsut in the Royal Mortuary Cult Complex at the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari, come from 19th century excavations, hence are without anything but a general context. The pieces are very small—fragment of a robe, sliver of a face with one eye—but in a brilliant analysis of iconography and style Kiss identifies one as a depiction of a female, possibly a priestess of Isis, from the second half of the 2nd century AD, and the other as a male portrait from the 2nd century. The portraits may belong to what some scholars have called “Theban” painted funerary portraits and they must have come from a Roman necropolis in West Thebes, possibly Deir el-Medineh. On any case, they are proof that mummies with painted portraits of the deceased on wooden panels fitted into the cartonnages were not unknown in ancient Thebes.
The Cretan presence in Marina el-Alamein
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, Majcherek Grzegorz , Zych Iwona ,   University of Warsaw, Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the article is to examine the surprisingly extensive and varied evidence of Cretan finds in the archaeological record of the PCMA UW excavations at the site of the ancient Graeco-Roman harbor in Marina el-Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt and to propose an interpretation going beyond the usual and obvious, for this period and place, trade exchange. The evidence includes pottery, mainly amphorae, a numerous group of so-called Cretan or Ivy-leaf terracotta oil lamps, a tentative Cretan-sourced custom of using gold plaques with Orphic symbolism placed into the mouths of initiates in preparation for burial, as well as a female name in Doric Greek carved on one of the pillar tombs, which could have belonged to a woman of Cretan origin. The distribution of the Cretan amphora in Egypt, as reviewed by Majcherek, merits attention in the light of what it says about consumers and their individual and collective preferences. In turn, the Cretan lamps, which are otherwise not found in Egypt and the bulk of which were found as grave goods in burials, were most probably valued possessions of a specific group, a mark of cultural belonging, a memento of home, perhaps even a religious attribute. The finds from Marina el-Alamein must be considered in the context of Crete's bilateral relations with Egypt—political, cultural and commercial—and the integration of Crete in the pan-Mediterranean economic system of Roman times. The conclusion is that the assemblage in question rests well within the frame of this overall picture of mutual contacts, but one could go further and propose to view the finds as proof of tentative Cretan colony, whether mercenaries/veterans with their families or merchants and their agents.
A mask of ἡγεμών θεράπων with ὄγκος(?) from Paphos
Authors:   Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures, Polish Academy of Sciences, Meyza Henryk
Published: February 2021

An accidental discovery from the ‘̕Hellenistic House’ turned out to be a marble fragment of a larger statue, identified by specific characteristics as a likeness of a theatrical mask. Masks were initially related to the cult of Dionysus. The apotropaic and soteriadic character of masks was reflected in their funerary use, and has developed into symbolism of peace, well being and abundance. As a symbol of Dionysus they were used as decoration in various circumstances, with whole sets of dramatic and comedy personages put on display in galleries, often in the peristyles of residents of the wealthy. In the case of the Paphos find, the asymmetric rendering of the features of this small unfinished piece make it half-angry and half-prying, somewhere between the Principal Slave and some other New Comedy persona as listed in the Onomastikon of the lexicographer Pollux.
Interprétation de la lettre ταῦ sur le vêtement du Christ et du geste de l’ogdoade sur la mosaïque absidiale de l’église Santa Pudenziana à Rome
Authors:   Archaeological Museum in Kraków, Babraj Krzysztof
Published: February 2021

The author explores the interpretation of the Greek letter tau on the robe of Christ represented on the 4th-century apsidal mosaic in the church of Santa Pudenziana in Rome, as well as the sign of the Ogdoad that Christ makes with his fingers. He discusses the ancient written sources for the symbolic meaning of the letter, as well as the letters iota and gamma, also found in similar early Christian contexts, as well as the iconographic evidence for the use of the letter tau, seen as a cross in shape, in glyptics, amulets, inscriptions and relief sculpture on sarcophagi, among others. In the context of the Santa Pudenziana mosaic, the presence of the letter is significant for the interpretation of the representation as symbolizing the redemption of man through the Passion of the Lord. The sign of the Ogdoad should be seen as evocation of the universal nature of the resurrection of Christ for all mankind, making the presence of the tau on Christ’s robes in this representation entirely comprehensible.
Two “armed” terracottas from Athribis
Authors:   Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures, Polish Academy of Sciences, Szymańska Hanna
Published: February 2021

Two terracotta figurines, identified as Athena and as an armed Eros, found in layers from the 2nd century BC at the ancient site of Athribis in the Egyptian Nile Delta, count among the hugely popular pieces of the coroplastic arts drawing stylistic inspiration from Ptolemaic art. Athribian craftsmen were masters at depicting characteristic human types and imitating models from other craft centers, like Alexandria. The Athena figurine (only head preserved) appears to be a unique representation of the goddess crafted out of local clay in a clay workshop by a craftsman inspired by the physiognomy of the reigning Ptolemaic queens. The Eros figurine, depicted in an “Italic” muscle cuirass extremely rare in Egyptian artifacts and holding a Gaulish thureos shield, confirms the exceptional character of the Athribian coroplastic workshops.

The motif of masks appearing in the ornamental “inhabited” scrolling plant borders of mosaics from the 2nd and 3rd century AD, discovered in Syria (Apamea and Palmyra among others) is discussed based on the border of the Mosaic of the Musicians from Mariamin in Syria, which is one of the most complex and best preserved of its kind, dated to the close of the 2nd century AD. The origin of the motif and its significance—protection of the house and tomb offered by mythical figures like Oceanus and the Gorgons—is considered, chronological issues concerning the motif and its longevity in late antique Christian art.

Authors: Korzh O. M.
Published: February 2021

Obesity is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. Numerous studies in recent years have identified obesity as a key cause of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Comprehensive medical and non−medical treatment of metabolic disorders, obesity and correction of excess body weight are the urgent tasks for both the patient and doctor. When defining the obesity as a chronic psychosomatic disease caused by the interaction of numerous genetic and environmental factors there is emphasized the complexity of the problem, including psychological, medical, social, physical and economic aspects. The widespread prevalence of obesity, which determines its comorbid nature, dictates the need to clarify the principles and options for treatment and prevention. In the process of active study, the multicomponent pathogenesis of obesity with the important role of different parts of the brain determines the relevance of a combination of pharmacotherapy and lifestyle intervention. In pharmacotherapy, the weight correction is an important component and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications, improves quality of life and prognosis. The basis of weight correction measures is a change in lifestyle, increased physical activity and alteration in diet in order to achieve a balance between energy consumption and expenditure. Weight loss is accompanied with an increased tissue sensitivity to insulin, improved lipid metabolism, elimination of latent inflammation, lowering blood pressure and, accordingly, plays a critical role in prevention of the associated diseases and reducing the risk of complications. The fight against obesity is not only an improvement in the patient general condition, but also a great economic benefit, as the doses of drugs are reduced or the need for hypolipidemic, antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs disappears.

Key words: obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiometabolic risk, microbiota, insulin resistance, treatment, prevention.

Published: February 2021

Treatment and control of hypertension is an important clinical problem, especially in the case of concomitant risk factors and bronchoobstructive diseases. The use of antihypertensive drugs in the patients with bronchoobstructive pathology has certain features. The use of β−blockers for the treatment of hypertension in the patients with cardiopulmonary pathology helps to reduce mortality, the number of visits to the doctor, those to the emergency rooms and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are the preferred choice for the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, requiring the treatment with renin−angiotensin−aldosterone inhibitors compared with angiotensin−converting enzyme inhibitors. Statin therapy improves a shortness of breath, reduces exacerbations, hospitalizations and mortality in the patients with cardiopulmonary pathology. The use of anticoagulants and anti−platelet agents in this category of patients helps to reduce the future morbidity and mortality associated with thrombotic diseases. There are no safety concerns or contraindications to the use of calcium channel blockers or aldosterone receptor blockers (including spironolactone) in the patients with cardiopulmonary pathology, but high doses of diuretics should be used with caution. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs, which included either strength training or a combination of general exercise, were effective for both the patients with bronchoobstructive disease and comorbid conditions. However, the indications, components, regimen, and end goals of such programs for "complex patients" with several comorbid conditions that complicate each other are remained poorly understood.

Key words: cardiopulmonary comorbidity, drug treatment, physical rehabilitation, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
THE 30 YEARS' CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ENDOMETRIAL OVARIAN CYSTS IN PATIENTS OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE

Published: February 2021

Endometriosis occurs in 50 % of women with infertility. Ovarian endometriosis affects 55 % of women with this disease. Surgical treatment of endometrium is indicated if its size is over 3 cm. After removal of the endometriomas there are used diathermic, bipolar energy, radio wave energy, argon plasma coagulation for hemostasis of ovarian tissue. The use of argon plasma coagulation in ovarian hemostasis causes not only hemostatic but also protective effect, which is mediated by the induction of HSP27, SOD2, VEGF and iNOS, which renders an organ−preserving effect when applied to ovarian tissues. Repeated surgery for ovarian endometrium should be performed taking into account the risk of reduced levels of antimullerian hormone, which may adversely affect the further implementation of reproductive function, including the use of assisted reproductive technologies. The authors comparatively have evaluated the treatment of 900 patients of reproductive age with endometrioid cysts of the ovaries and other concomitant gynecological pathology, which were three clinical groups. The patients received radiowave energy, argonoplasmic coagulation, intraoperative use of various anti−adhesive drugs and combinations of drugs in the postoperative period. It was found that the use of argon plasma coagulation for hemostasis of ovarian tissues after removal of endometrioid cysts, polyethylene oxide gel with carboxymethylcellulose intraoperatively and gonadotropin−releasing hormone agonists, dienogest 2 mg per day for three months contributed to the pregnancy onset in post−srugery period in 56.7 % of patients. It has been noted that in women the presence of adhesions in combination with corpus luteum cysts, endometrial polyps, uterine leiomyoma reduces the onset of pregnancy by 8.0, 12, and 24 times, respectively.

Key words: endometrial ovarian cysts, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation in the post−surgery period.

Most authors considered pleural cavity drainage to be the main method of treatment of acute pleural empyema using minor surgery. Despite the simplicity of drainage of the pleural cavity, the number of complications after this surgical manipulation, according to the reports of some authors, varies from 3 to 8 %. The complications of pleural drainage in the patients with acute nonspecific pleural empyema have been studied and the technique of pleural drainage "blindly" has been introduced, which allows drainage to be located along the chest wall. At the first stage of the four−stage study, the complications of pleural drainage in 38 patients with acute nonspecific pleural empyema were analyzed, at the second stage a device for drainage of the pleural cavity "blindly" was developed to place drainage in parallel to the chest wall, at the third stage patients were tested; on IV −− drainage of the pleural cavity of 34 patients was performed according to the proposed method. The reason for the development of drainage complications in the pleural cavity of patients with acute pleural empyema was the inadequate location of drainage in the pleural cavity, drainage of the pleural cavity was carried out in general hospitals without the use of thoracoscopic equipment. Curved thoracoport with trocar for a blind drainage of the pleural cavity "blindly" was developed and introduced into clinical practice. This technique eliminates the involuntary location of the drainage in the pleural cavity, installing it along the chest wall, and is safe. Complications associated with drainage of the pleural cavity according to the developed method using a curved thoracoport with a trocar, inadequate location of drainage, were not observed in patients.

Key words: acute pleural empyema, pleural cavity drainage, curved trocar.
