Published: January 2024

Конопляное масло называют уникальным диетическим продуктом высокой биологической ценности. Это исконно русский, невероятно полезный, но, к сожалению, не заслуженно забытый продукт.Масло испокон веков производили на Руси, где оно славилось своими целебными и питательными свойствами. Однако в 1961 г. после принятия Конвенции ООН, коноплю официально отнесли к наркотическим средствам, и были практически полностью уничтожены все её посевы. А до этого конопля в СССР выращивалась наравне с пшеницей.

Devlet Desteklerinin Özel Okulların Nicel Durumlarına Etkisi Üzerine Bir Araştırma: Karşılaştırmalı Bir Analiz
Authors: ATAY Selim
Published: January 2024

Yeryüzünde onurlu ve saygın bir yer edinme iddiasında ve çabasında olan her devlet, bu iddiasını gerçekleştirmek adına stratejik bir gelecek vizyonu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu vizyonda ortaya konulan hedeflerin gerçekleştirilmesi ise “beşeri sermayenin şekillendirilmesi” ile olabilmektedir ve beşeri sermaye ancak eğitim ile şekillenmektedir. Fakat bazı devletler, çeşitli nedenlerle bu sermayeyi hedeflere göre şekillendirmekte yetersiz kalırlar. Bu nedenle eğitim işi günden güne özel sektörün de üstlendiği bir görev haline gelmiştir. Diğer yandan bu görev uzun soluklu, zor ve pahalı bir görevdir. Dolayısıyla bu yükü, özel sektörün, sadece kendi imkânları ile taşıması mümkün olmadığından eğitim işinde ana aktör olan devletler, çeşitli nedenlerle ve çeşitli şekillerde özel sektöre teşvikler ile destek olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, devlet destekleri ve teşvikler kapsamında özel okullara yapılan “eğitim ve öğretim desteklerinin” özel okul işletmelerine nicel ve oransal olarak ne şekilde etki ettiğini ortaya koymak ve sektörün bu tür müdahalelerden ne oranda etkilendiğine dikkat çekerek literatüre katkı sunmaktır. Bu çalışma, devletin özel okul işletmelerine doğrudan desteğinin onların nicel ve oransal durumlarına ne şekilde etki ettiğini göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olan doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda MEB Strateji Geliştirme Başkanlığının resmi internet sitesinden alınan zaman serili (tarihsel süreç) nicel özellikli ikincil veriler (2012-2020 arası, öğrenci ve okul sayıları bazında ve lise kademesi ile sınırlı olarak) incelenip analiz edilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Araştırmada, devlet tarafından özel okullara verilen eğitim ve öğretim desteklerinin, özel okul işletmelerinin nicel ve oransal durumlarını pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği görülmüştür.

Published: January 2024

This study determined the impact of system usability, functionality, and reliability on the satisfaction of system users with its relevance in service provision. The study was motivated by the fact that operation staff (of the chosen case for study) admitted that they were uncomfortable with the use of the library system in their operations. Methodologically, the study followed the quantitative approach. The study included all library staff to its sample, who were 52. Accordingly, data were collected through a structured questionnaire. The analysis used inferential statistics to decide the position of stated hypotheses. Collectively, the study found that system usability, system functionality and system reliability significantly impacted the perceived satisfaction of users, who are engaged with different library operations. This study recommends that these variables should be enhanced for users to adequately support the Library Management System, and other systems within the organisation.

La investigación doctoral
Authors: Contreras Colmenares Adrián Filiberto
Published: January 2024

La narrativa que surge del desarrollo de una investigación doctoral, en la actualidad ha de estar pergeñada de aspectos como la interdisciplinariedad y la complejidad. Aunado a ello, comprender la importancia de la multiperspectividad y la multicontextualidad. En atención a este criterio precedente, la intencionalidad de este discurrir es la de reflexionar acerca cómo debe haber una transformación del proceso escritural por parte del investigador cuando reporte los hallazgos, a partir del acercamiento al objeto cognoscible. La disertación realizada se ha fundamentado en la revisión de literatura valiosa, con lo cual se asocia a la investigación documental; así como las cogitaciones y máximas de experiencias personales de quien realiza este discurso intelectivo. Como verdad provisional: se aspira a seguir en esta línea de pensamiento para profundizar sobre la necesidad de transformar el sentipensar de los investigadores de tesis doctorales, de los tutores (o directores de tesis) y de los jurados, árbitros o integrantes de un tribunal doctoral.

Published: January 2024

In today's competitive job market, finding and retaining highly qualified and motivated employees has become a significant challenge for companies across all sectors. There are several factors contributing to this trend. Firstly, there has been a decline in employee loyalty compared to previous years. Many employees no longer prioritize long-term commitment to a single company and are more willing to explore new opportunities. Secondly, employees are becoming increasingly willing to change jobs to fulfill their career goals and aspirations. This trend puts additional pressure on companies to create attractive workplaces that can compete for top talent. Furthermore, the expectations and demands of employees have also increased. They now seek meaningful work, opportunities for advancement, flexibility, and a healthy work-life balance.

Published: January 2024

Over the past few decades, China's healthcare industry has seen tremendous alterations. The position of hospital executives, who play a crucial role in directing the course of healthcare organisations, is central to these shifts. This study offers a thorough investigation of Chinese hospital executives' professional management proficiency. The study explores several aspects of this competency, including planning ability, control ability, and problem-solving ability, by using a mixed-method approach. These factors are essential for guaranteeing better patient outcomes and efficient hospital administration. The study also finds several outside variables that affect these competencies, including leadership dynamics, policy ambiguity, and training programmes. This study provides a thorough understanding of the management environment among Chinese hospital executives by in-depth examinations of the literature, interviews, and a questionnaire survey. The research's conclusions not only provide important context for China's hospital management procedures, but they also pave the way for more studies in this area. The study emphasises the significance of improving hospital executives' professional competencies and the demand for focused interventions in this area. Hospital CEOs' roles will become ever more important as China's healthcare system develops. The present study makes a substantial contribution to the current corpus of information by illuminating the abilities necessary for efficient hospital administration in China.
Cucconi Feature Extracted Random Decision Forest Classification for Efficient Sentiment Analysis
Authors: Anuradha Dr.K. , Mallik Dr. Banitamani , Krishna Dr.M. Vamsi
Published: January 2024

Sentiment is the method of conveying the opinion by the customer for particular product e-commerce website. Sentiment analysis is otherwise termed as opinion mining that identifies the polarity of extracted opinions. Nowadays, opinion mining concept received large interest by many researchers to identify the polarity of the statements. A number of scholars have conducted their research on efficient sentiment analysis with better accuracy. But the space complexity and time complexity performance did not reduced using existing classification techniques. To deal with these issues, CFDFC (Cucconi Feature Extracted Random Decision Forest Classification) Approach is presented. The primary aim of CFDFC Approach is to perform effective sentiment analysis with improved accuracy and reduced time complexity. The number of user review statement is collected from the input dataset. The proposed CFDFC Technique comprises of pre-processes, feature extractions, and classifications. Pre-processes eliminate stop words and stem words from user reviews. After pre-processing, the features (i.e. keywords) extraction process is performed to minimize the dimensionality and time consumption for opinion classification. This work uses cucconi projective feature extractions in CFDFC to squeeze out opinion words from reviews where cucconi projective feature extraction is generally a dimensionality reduction technique used for identifying the projections in multidimensional data. Finally, the classification process is carried out using random decision forest classifier.  The random decision forest classifier uses the ID3 DT (decision tree) as a weak learner to classify the review statements with the extracted features. By using the voting scheme, random decision forest classifications finally classify instances with higher accuracy. This again is useful to boost the performance of sentiment analysis. The comprehensive experimental assessment is carried out using various parameters including accuracy, error rates, recall values , time and space complexities with regard to the number of review statements gathered from the dataset.The statistical results obtained show that the proposed CFDFC  Technique achieves remarkable accuracy, recall, and minimal time complexity than the current methods.

Published: January 2024

The difficulty with service delivery remains a hard task to determine amongst devolved governments and as such there are mixed reactions in the implementation of devolution. This paper aimed at analyzing the effect of devolution system of governance on service delivery in Nyamira County, Kenya. Various theories were explored including the Soufflé theory, the social capital theory, The Principal Agent theory and the Accountability theory. The soufflé theory was selected since it gives the best explanation on linkages between various variables of devolved system of governance and how they are related to service delivery. The study took a quantitative approach and adopted a descriptive and correlation research designs to facilitate determination and explanation of variable relationships and used a simple random sample of 154 respondents obtained from a target population of 3,125 employees of Nyamira County. Regression analysis, multiple regression and correlation were run to determine the relationship between resource distribution, citizen participation, accountability and transparency and service delivery. It was found out that devolved system of governance predicts service delivery. The study concludes that devolution devolved system of governance (R-square of 0.482; p value <0.05) has effect on service delivery and can be a crucial model of improving public service delivery in Kenya. The paper recommended that devolved system of governance can be effective model for improving service delivery
The Perpetual Catwalk of Modernity:
Authors: Haq Kaiser
Published: January 2024

While lazily channel browsing some years back, my attention was caught by an ongoing discussion on a now defunct Kolkata-based channel. In fact, that particular program is the only one I vividly remember from the short and distinguished life of Tara TV. Several participants had been marshalled to talk about “adhunikata,” modernity. The session was in its final stages, and seemed to have been an informal for-and-against debate. The only speaker I could watch had begun his spiel. I do not remember his name but I was struck by his cheerful countenance, and his engagingly animated and fluent delivery. He was of modest build, which might have been a consequence of a hyperactive metabolism. This is a retrospective observation I make in passing because, if we were to personify “modernity,” one of its conspicuous physical attributes would be a hyperactive metabolism.....
Work Environment of Healthcare Workers with (COVID)-19 in a Hospital in Turkey
Authors: Ecin Seval Müzeyyen
Published: January 2024

Objectives: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are among the occupational groups most affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The present study aims to conduct a retrospective investigation of the outpatient occupational disease clinic records of COVID-19 survivor HCWs and the
distribution of the study participants within a specific hospital to identify the work units at risk and recommend control measures. Methods: This study investigated HCWs aged 18-65 years who had returned to their work in the hospital upon recovery from COVID-19. Results: A
total of 360 HCWs (11.7%) had tested positive for COVID-19. Nurses constituted the highest percentage of COVID-19-positive HCWs (224, 62.2%), while those working in outpatient clinics were at the highest risk, accounting for 110 cases (30.6%). A statistically significant number of HCWs working
in the intensive care unit (ICU) had COVID-19-positive co-workers. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the monthly number of all COVID-19-positive cases in Turkey and the number of COVID-19-positive HCWs in Turkey. Conclusions: The results suggest that HCWs did not sufficiently
comply with preventive measures in low-risk work units, including outpatient clinics. Furthermore, the number of COVID-19-positive HCWs correlates with the number of COVID-19-positive co-workers and individuals in the general population.

Die Digitalisierung des Geldes und der Geldzahlungen hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark beschleunigt. Graduelle Veränderungen alltäglicher Handlungsabläufe scheinen in qualitative, kategoriale umzuschlagen. Digitale Bezahlpraktiken wie das Nutzen der Twint-App oder die QR-Code-Rechnung, die kürzlich noch als neuartig galten, werden zu unhinterfragten, ‹normalen› Handlungen. Für die Empirische Kulturwissenschaft stellen sich damit – so der Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches und der Forschungsbeiträge, die darin zusammengefasst sind – neue Fragen nach den Formen und den Implikationen des heutigen «Umgangs mit Geld»: Fragen darüber, worin die neuen Praktiken tatsächlich bestehen, welche Implikationen sie beinhalten und welche Folgen sie möglicherweise haben, aber auch über die symbolischen, imaginären und ideologischen Aufladungen des nun digitalen Geldes, dieser nur vermeintlich nüchternen Zahlungs-, Wertspeicher- und Messeinheit. Solche Fragen sollen in diesem Einleitungstext ausgeführt werden, um die Hintergründe der Fallstudien, aus denen sich dieses Buch zusammensetzt, zu erläutern.

Authors: Alhwaiti Mohammed
Published: January 2024

Encouraging and continuing inclusive learning environments is important to allow all students to be able to fully participate, engage, and learn. The online learning environment obliges educators to think creatively about how to achieve this goal. The aim was to investigate using virtual classroom for teaching special needs students in inclusive classrooms during and beyond Covid-19 from the perspectives of their teachers. Teachers of special education from integration schools in the middle stage in Makkah were targeted. A 15- item survey instrument was developed particularly for this research study . Quantitative research is carried out with the aim to investigate using virtual classroom(VC) for teaching special needs students in inclusive classrooms during and beyond Covid-19 from the perspectives of their teachers. A survey method was used. Data were collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire, which was based on the technology acceptance model(TAM). Pearson correlation(R) and multiple regression (MRA) were used to analyze data . Results indicated that the BI is positively affected by PU, PEOU. PU, PEOU yielded a coefficient of multiple regression (R) and a multiple correlation square. This shows that a total variance in BI is accounted for by PU, PEOU. In conclusion, the findings in this study contribute to the literature on TAM and its use in special education in particular.

Fomentar y continuar con los entornos de aprendizaje inclusivos es importante para permitir que todos los estudiantes puedan participar, comprometerse y aprender plenamente. El entorno de aprendizaje online obliga a los educadores a pensar de forma creativa sobre cómo lograr este objetivo. El objetivo era investigar el uso del aula virtual para enseñar a estudiantes con necesidades especiales en aulas inclusivas durante y después de la COVID-19 desde la perspectiva de sus docentes. La investigación cuantitativa se lleva a cabo con el objetivo de investigar el uso del aula virtual (VC) para enseñar a estudiantes con necesidades especiales en aulas inclusivas durante y después de Covid-19 desde las perspectivas de sus maestros. Se utilizó un método de encuesta. Las variables independientes son la utilidad percibida (PU), la facilidad de uso percibida (PEOU), mientras que la variable dependiente es la intención de comportamiento del estudiante (BI).

Se utilizaron la correlación de Pearson (r) y la regresión múltiple (MRA) para analizar los datos. Los resultados indicaron que el BI se ve afectado positivamente por PU, PEOU. PU, PEOU arrojaron un coeficiente de regresión múltiple (R) y un cuadrado de correlación múltiple. Esto muestra que PU, PEOU explican una variación total en BI.
Future Anxiety in Young Spanish Adults: Psychometric Properties of the Dark Future Scale
Authors: Torrado Macarena , García-Castro F. Javier , Blanca María J.
Published: January 2024

Antecedentes/Objetivo: La Dark Future Scale (DFS) evalúa la tendencia a pensar en el futuro con ansiedad, miedo e incertidumbre. Aunque ha sido usada en diferentes poblaciones, los estudios instrumentales son escasos y no hay una versión adaptada al español. El objetivo del estudio fue adaptarla al español (DFS-S) y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas en una muestra de adultos jóvenes. Método: Participaron 1.019 jóvenes entre 18 y 24 años. Completaron la DFS-S y el IPIP-BFM-20. Se analizan evidencias de validez basadas en la estructura interna, incluyendo la invarianza de medida según el género, y basadas en las relaciones con rasgos de personalidad, así como análisis de la fiabilidad y de las diferencias de género. Resultados: Los resultados apoyaron una estructura de un solo factor, χ2(5) = 10.79, CFI = .999, RMSEA = .034, SRMR = .016, con invarianza respecto al género, y con coeficiente de fiabilidad satisfactorio (ω = .92). Se encontró correlación positiva fuerte entre ansiedad futura y neuroticismo (.42) y una correlación negativa moderada con extraversión (-.25). Las puntuaciones en ansiedad futura fueron mayores en las mujeres. Conclusiones: Los resultados muestran propiedades psicométricas satisfactorias de la DFS-S, siendo un instrumento adecuado para medir la ansiedad futura en adultos jóvenes.

Background/Objective: The Dark Future Scale (DFS) is a self-report instrument which assesses the tendency to think about the future with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Although it has been applied in different populations, instrumental studies are scarce, and there is no validated Spanish version. The aim was therefore to develop a Spanish version of the scale (DFS-S) and to analyze its psychometric properties in a sample of young adults. Method: Participants were 1,019 individuals aged from 18 to 24 years. They completed the DFS-S and the IPIP-BFM-20. Validity evidence based on the internal structure, including measurement invariance across gender, as well as on relationships with personality traits was obtained. Reliability and gender differences in DFS-S scores were also examined. Results: Results supported a single-factor structure, χ2(5) = 10.79, CFI = .999, RMSEA = .034, SRMR = .016, that was invariant across gender. Reliability of test scores was satisfactory (ω = .92). In the correlation analysis, future anxiety showed a strong positive correlation with neuroticism (.42) and a moderate negative correlation with extraversion (-.25). Females scored higher than males on future anxiety. Conclusions: The DFS-S has satisfactory psychometric properties and it is an adequate tool for measuring future anxiety among young adults.
Suomen putoamis- ja kaatumisverbit leksikaalisen typologian näkökulmasta
Authors: Viimaranta Johanna
Published: January 2024

Artikkeli käsittelee suomen kielen ylhäältä alaspäin suuntautuvan liikkeen verbejä, joista keskeisimmät ovat pudota, tippua, kaatua ja romahtaa. Suomen 34 verbilekseemin  käyttömahdollisuuksia tarkastellaan 42 eri kielen aineistoja käsitelleen tutkimushankkeen tulosten pohjalta. Hankkeen tulosten mukaan liikkeeseen ylhäältä alaspäin kuuluu neljä erityyppistä kehystä eli yleistettyä tilannetta. Ensimmäinen kehys on putoaminen korkeammalta tasolta alemmalle, toinen vertikaalisen orientaation menettäminen eli kaatuminen, kolmas jonkin kiinni tai yhteydessä olevan irtoaminen ja putoaminen ja neljäs romahtaminen alas alkuperäisen rakenteen menettäen. Tutkituissa kielissä näitä neljää peruskehystä voidaan kuvata 1–4 eri merkitykseltään laajalla verbillä ja lukuisilla muilla suppeamman semantiikan verbeillä. Suomesta ei löydy verbilekseemiä, jolla voisi kuvata kaikkia näitä neljää peruskehystä, siinä erotetaan toisistaan toisaalta horisontaalinen liike alaspäin ja vertikaalisen orientaation menettäminen (pudota/tippua vs. kaatua). Myös rakenteen menettämiseen liittyvät tilanteet vaativat omat lekseeminsä (mm. romahtaa).
Suomessa, kuten monissa muissakin kielissä putoavalla objektilla on merkitystä verbin valintaan: sateen ja aineiden sekä samankaltaisista pienistä osasista koostuvien subjektien kuten lehtien tai neulasten putoamisesta käytetään erityisiä lekseemejä. Suomessa voi kuitenkin käyttää samoja verbejä elollisista ja elottomista objekteista. Verbilekseemin valinnassa suomi ei juurikaan kiinnitä huomiota alaspäin suuntautuvan liikkeen lähtöpisteeseen, mutta sen sijaan putoamistapaa, päätepistettä ja etenkin kontaktin tapaa päätepisteessä voi kuvata lukuisilla eri verbeillä. Suomen putoamis- ja kaatumisverbien metaforiset käytöt ovat saman tyyppisiä kuin monissa muissakin tutkituissa kielissä.
Infinitives in transit
Authors: Vuorsola Lasse
Published: January 2024

The study examines the use of two spoken Finnish features among Sweden Finnish adolescents in a formal education setting. The features in question are the colloquial versions of the A-infinitive lative (e.g., mä saan pelaa ‘I’m allowed to play’) and the MA-infinitive illative (e.g., mä meen pelaa ‘I’ll go and play’) forms when used with contracting verbs (e.g., pelata ‘to play’). These features are most prominent in the spoken Finnish in Helsinki, but the data shows it is also present in the speech of bilingual children in Sweden.
Finnic comparative constructions in an areal context
Authors: Norvik Miina , Saar Eva
Published: January 2024

This paper discusses comparative constructions in the Finnic languages. The main focus is on the southern Finnic languages with separate attention paid to dialect variation. By including a maximally complete micro­areal dataset, the article reviews already identified patterns and their spread, while also introducing some (later) developments that have received less attention or gone unnoticed. The results are viewed in the context of neighbouring non­cognate contact languages (Latvian, Latgalian, and Russian); some parallels are also drawn with Lithuanian. As appears, due to being at the crossroads of Finnic and Baltic, it is in the southernmost Finnic languages where the genuine separative comparative construction meets various other patterns, including those borrowed from the Baltic languages. In general, the results enable us to shed more light on the outcomes of more ancient as well as more recent contact situations. The linguistic data originate from text collections, language corpora, example sentences in dictionaries and grammar books, and our own field work data.

Published: January 2024

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium. OTA causes damage to the kidneys and liver in experimental animals and is even classified as a possible human carcinogen. As an occasional phenomenon, many foods in a particular region may be contaminated with OTA. Regardless of whether it is a developed or developing country, OTA contamination poses both public health and economic risks. We have compiled studies on OTA in food and humans (milk and blood) in Turkey over the last 25 years and discussed what needs to be done to reduce the public health risk.

A ECONOMIA RURAL NÃO-AGRÍCOLA COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE RENDA EM ÁREAS DE IRRIGAÇÃO PÚBLICA: O CASO DO PERÍMETRO IRRIGADO CURU-PARAIPABA1
Authors: Lima Ricardo Chaves , Pimentel Carlos Roberto Machado , Menezes José Augusto Lopes de
Published: January 2024

Vários trabalhos em Economia Agrícola em áreas menos desenvolvidas têm discutido a possibilidade de diversificação das fontes de renda com atividades não-agrícolas. Sendo a agricultura uma atividade econômica caracterizada pela demanda sazonal de mão-de-obra, o emprego temporário em atividades não agrícolas pode contribuir para a estabilização da renda dos agricultores. O presente trabalho analisa as estratégias de renda dos produtores rurais com empregos agrícolas e não-agrícolas no perímetro irrigado Curu-Paraipaba, no Estado do Ceará. O estudo concluiu que o nível de educação e a renda total da família rural são fatores que influenciam positivamente a propensão a diversificar. Foi verificado também que a diversificação da renda com atividades agrícolas concorre com a diversificação da renda com atividade não-agrícolas.

The impact of community identification on the pro-environmental behavior of Ukrainians in the conditions of war
Authors: Strilchuk Оksana
Published: January 2024

The article examines changes in the environmental behavior of Ukrainians influenced by military actions. One of the key predictors of such changes is the characteristics of communal identification among Ukrainians under threat conditions. The key criterion for pro-ecological behavior was considered the environmental responsibility of Ukrainians. The study involved several stages of qualitative and quantitative data collection. In the process of data analysis, qualitative methods such as content and thematic analysis of narratives were applied. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using regression analysis, multifactorial analysis of variance, and correlation analysis. Components of environmental responsibility, such as behavioral, emotional, and value-based, were identified. At the stage of quantitative data collection, the role of civic, territorial, and professional identity as predictors for the growth of environmental responsibility among Ukrainians was recorded. Overall, the increasing role of civic identity was interpreted as a consolidating factor for the formation of integrated identity capable of confronting various threats, including environmental threats. Strengthening the emotional component influences the perception of environmental threats at the individual level and contributes to the awareness of the need to preserve the environmental well-being of the country. The reinforcement of European identity positively affects the integration of pro-ecological European values. The identification of the interaction between professional and civic identities can serve as an indicator of the strategic importance of Ukraine as an environment for work and personal realization
Endothelial dysfunction correction in patients with hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and decreased thyroid function
Authors: Orel Marta , Martynyuk Larysa
Published: January 2024

Endothelial dysfunction is considered a universal predictor of numerous diseases, development of the complications and their adverse course. The study aimed to investigate the endothelium-dependent vasodilation among patients with arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and different functional state of the thyroid gland and feasibilities of its correction by means of hypolipidaemic and metabolic therapy. 99 patients with arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia were examined, among them were 65 hypothyroid persons (group 1) and 34 individuals with normal thyroid function (group 2). The effects of lipid-lowering combination therapy with ezetimibe and rosuvastatin or monotherapy with statins, and metabolic therapy with L-arginine aspartate during 3 months on endothelium-dependent vasodilation were studied. At the beginning of the study, the values of endothelial-dependent vasodilation in group 1 compared to those in group 2 were reliably smaller by 9.38%. After 3 months of treatment, this indicator in group 1 reliably increased by 11.11%, while 19 (29.23%) patients showed its normalization. The best values of the endothelium-dependent vasodilation was demonstrated by examinees in group 2 – the indicator reliably increased by 15.76 %, while 17 (50%) patients showed its normalization. Together, the greater increase in the percentage of endothelium – dependent vasodilation was observed among subgroups of patients that in complex treatment received combination hypolipidaemic therapy with ezetimibe and rosuvastatin, and metabolic therapy with L-arginine. The best indicators of endothelium-dependent vasodilation were demonstrated by examinees of both groups who, in addition to combination hypolipidaemic therapy, received metabolic therapy. Decreased thyroid gland function negatively affected the values of endothelium-dependent vasodilation and overweighted the possibilities of endothelial dysfunction correction in this cohort of patients. The results of the study can be applied in internal medicine clinic for complex treatment of comorbid hypertensive and hypothyroid patients
Pharmacological and morphological features and socioeconomic aspects of cannabidiol: A literature review
Authors: Hasiuk Oles-Pylyp
Published: January 2024

The relevance of detailed analysis of the available scientific research on the effects of cannabidiol on the human body is determined by the growing popularity of the non-psychoactive substance in cannabis products as a medicine. The research aimed to collect and systematise information about the positive and negative effects of cannabidiol, as well as the possibilities of its use in medicine. An analysis of 3375 scientific articles, publications and reports was conducted, of which 68 were selected that best met the terms of the request. The collected data was summarised and presented in a structured format. The results of the review indicate the remarkable pharmacological potential of cannabidiol, which can be used as a promising therapeutic agent in various medical fields. In the studies reviewed, cannabidiol showed anticonvulsant and antiepileptic effects, as well as a positive impact on drug substitution programmes. However, the possibility of negative reactions and potentially harmful effects of cannabidiol was also noted: it can lead to the development of psychological and physical dependence; increases the risk of physiological disorders, including the impact on spermatogenesis and disruption of the female microflora; affects behaviour and leads to developmental abnormalities. The effects of cannabidiol on the human body are still not well understood, and its distribution in the absence of sufficient legal regulation may pose a risk to the health and safety of consumers. Understanding all aspects of cannabidiol use will ensure proper management of its use and development of the relevant legislative framework, as well as facilitate further research and development of new drugs based on this plant extract
