Conceptual model of cartographic monitoring field geophysical surveys and proposals for its implementation
Authors: Loginov D.S.
Published: July 2022

Timely performance of field geophysical surveys directly affects the deadline of identification and preparation for exploitation of new mineral deposits. Current monitoring the productivity of geophysical crews making field surveys is based on daily preparation and analysis of reporting tabular and cartographic materials, the formation of which requires skills in working with geodata. To optimize fieldwork production, you need an intuitive interface that provides unified access to information for a large number of users and does not require installation and training specialized software. The author offers a conceptual model of field geophysical survey cartographic monitoring and measures for adapting web-mapping technology to the specifics of field work regardless to the method of geophysical research used. The practical implementation of the conceptual model will solve the tasks of automated preparing daily reports, storing information in a common database and formation of interactive cartographic images. As a result, developing a web-mapping service is expected, its use will contribute to the adoption of operational management decisions to prevent violating the terms of contractors’ obligations for performing field geophysical research in the framework of geological exploration works.
The Concept of “Developmental State” in the Context of Eurasian Integration
Authors: Kudaiarov U. B. , Matazimov A. M.
Published: July 2022

Since the economic crisis of 2008, and more recently with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an active involvement of the state in economic recovery. Consequently, there is growing interest in analyzing the degree of government involvement in economic development and market regulation, as well as in reviving the “developmental state” (DS) approach, in particular.

Aim.To update the concept of the “developmental state” in the light of the new circumstances inherent in the 21st century. This step will allow us to take a fresh look at the model and determine the main trends of its development.

Tasks.We seek to outline the classical version of the “DS” concept proposed by Ch. Johnson, to present the challenges faced by the states, to correlate the classical version with the new “possible” version of the “DS” concept, to analyze the relevance of the model in relation to the development of the EAEU.

Methods.We use the systematic approach and general scientific methods of retrospective, comparative analysis, induction and deduction, generalization, grouping of information.

Results.We present several bases that may become the impetus for the model transformation.

Conclusion.The “21st century developmental state” must retain the bureaucratic capacity, “embedded autonomy” and now assume greater social responsibility. Human capacity, empowerment and digitalization of state functioning will be fundamental elements of a new developmental state model. The EAEU has all the possibilities to apply the model at the supranational level. Its implementation depends on the readiness of the countries for such a transformation.
State Capitalism in Russia: A Review Article (Part 1)
Authors: Zhuravlev O. M. , Matveev I. A.
Published: July 2022

The article reviews current scholarship and debates on state capitalism as well as studies of this phenomenon in Russia.

Aim. This article aims to review current scholarly debates on state intervention in the Russian economy and identify key positions in this field.

Tasks. In the first part of the article, we reveal the history of the concept of ‘state capitalism’ and review debates on the ‘new state capitalism’, its developmentalist, political, social and other interpretations.

Methods. This article compares scholars’ positions and identifies divisions in the field.

Results. In the first part of the article, we demonstrate that the concept of ‘state capitalism’ has been discussed in the Marxist tradition since the late 19th century. However, the crisis of 2008-2009 marked the renewal of mainstream interest in this phenomenon. There are several interpretations of state capitalism. Industrial policy view treats state capitalism as a way of stimulating economic growth and technological development. Social policy view considers it to be an instrument of solving social problems, such as unemployment and high prices on certain goods and services. Political view envisions state capitalism as a vehicle for rent-seeking and patronage. Geopolitical view treats it as an instrument of foreign policy and the defense of national sovereignty. State capitalism is also seen as a vehicle for financialization and globalization. State capitalism is studied both on the microlevel of specific industries, regions and projects, and on the macrolevel of the national economies.

Conclusion. Current debates on state capitalism comprise a dynamic, multidisciplinary research field. Within this field, the Russian case should be investigated in the comparative perspective.
Rapprochement of the Positions of the EAEU Member States on the Issues of the Climate Agenda and Carbon Regulation
Authors: Migaleva T. E. , Podbiralina G. V. , Razumnova L. L.
Published: July 2022

Aim. Analyze the existing production potential in the EAEU countries and identify conditions for the development of a common climate policy and common mechanisms for carbon regulation based on the convergence of the positions of the member states of the integration association.

Tasks. Determine the degree of use of the production potential of the EAEU; assess the possibilities and formulate proposals for enhancing the actions of the participating countries for its implementation in the field of sustainable development and climate policy.

Methods. Based on the use of general scientific methods. In particular, the use of logical and comparative methods made it possible to most fully analyze the factors and trends of the processes under study; to identify problems that prevent convergence of the positions of the EAEU member states on the issues of the climate agenda and carbon regulation and propose possible options for their solution.

Results. It has been determined that the existing production potential of the EAEU member countries is currently not fully realized. Its further development is associated with the need for investments to reload existing production capacities, technological renewal and an increase in labor productivity. Possible directions are presented that allow the EAEU countries to develop common positions on a unified climate policy and carbon regulation mechanisms.

Conclusion. Today, climate problems are becoming irreversible and coming to the forefront of the international agenda, which is pushing countries to revise their carbon strategy. Based on the study, it was concluded that there are obstacles to the promotion of the “green” agenda in the EAEU, such as political and macroeconomic instability, the use of protectionist measures between the member countries of the association (this was especially characteristic during the pandemic), upholding their own sovereignty, etc.), which makes it difficult to develop joint mechanisms for regulating common markets. On the other hand, an assessment of the opportunities for convergence of the positions of the EAEU countries showed that there is a wide range of areas of interaction: for example, all EAEU countries have adopted national strategies for sustainable (“green”) development, which imply the modernization of economies through, including , and external financing, which creates incentives for the creation of joint companies and conditions for the development of a common climate policy and unified mechanisms for carbon regulation.
Outer Factors of Meiji Japan’s Fast Modernization at the End of the 19th Century
Authors: Mamytov U. E.
Published: July 2022

The end of the globalization and the rise of the “curtain wall” between the West and Russia again raises the question of economic and technological backwardness of Eurasian Union countries comparing to the “developed countries”, and especially the backwardness of such countries as Kyrgyzstan. That fact is sufficiently connected to sometimes extremal concentration on inner problems, which prevents the state and inner community to set pragmatic aims of rapid technological and economic development. In this context the experience of fast catch-up of Japan at the end of the 19th century gives a good example how that can be realized. And that Japanese experience is still looks actual, despite that it happened almost 150 years ago.

Aim. An evaluation of the affection of outer factors in Meiji Japan’s fast economic catch-up.

Tasks. For those purposes were analyzed the reasons of fast economic development, as well as the factors which stimulated Japan’s modernization.

Methods. As a methodology there was used an analysis of economic, technological and ideological factors.

Results. Results of the research demonstrate that, first, the fast catch-up itself was pushed by outer threats of getting into colonial dependency of the Western countries, and second, for fast development Japan pragmatically used Western technologies.

Conclusion. Technological modernization should become the basic factor for rapid economic development of the Eurasian Union countries, and the state can play certain coordinating role in such a process sometimes using ideological factors.
Features of Political Transit in the Post-Soviet Space (on the Example of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and the Donetsk People’s Republic)
Authors: Salnikov V. I. , Kotov E. V.
Published: July 2022

The collapse of the USSR led not only to the formation of 15 independent states in the place of the former Soviet republics, but also to the strengthening of secessionism and the emergence of de facto states in the post-Soviet. The emergence, formation and transit of states of this type have many, both common and specific features associated with the peculiarities of their birth.

Aim. A comparative analysis of the formation and transit of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) and the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) as de facto states of the Russian world and a comparative analysis of the formation of industrial models of the economy of the unrecognized states and their management systems.

Tasks. Development of models of management systems for the development of the economy of the self-proclaimed republics. Drawing up and substantiation of medium-term forecasts for the development of the PMR and the DPR: 1) integration into a new union state; 2) return to their “mother states” (Moldova and Ukraine); 3) joining Russia, 4) partial international recognition; 5) continuation of existence in the form of a “gray zone” of the economy and politics. Other options are possible, the most tragic of which is the end of support from Russia, which means the end of the existence of these de facto states.

Methods. Methods of system analysis, short- and medium-term forecasting, comparative analysis were used.

Conclusions. At the heart of any political system is the economy. It is the quality of the constructed economic model that determines the level and duration of the political independence of the state. This connection is especially evident in the construction of the statehood of territorial neoplasms, in which the creation of an economic system is built according to the patterns and principles of the economic system of the patron stateareas”, the shortcomings of the patron state system of the same name, from which the economic model and management mechanisms were “written off”, a comprehensive consideration of the features of secessionism in the specific historical conditions of the emergence of unrecogni zed states is necessary.

Published: July 2022

The article illustrates the capacity of Islam to solve the social problem of religious education in multicultural societies. A qualitative method has been adopted. The main result of the study is that in societies where people of different religions live. Islam, based on its beliefs, accepts multi-religious education that is to educate all religion’s teachings. This side of Islamic heritage solves the social problem that comes from teaching a particular religion in such societies. The study displays that the pluralistic religious education, cannot solve these problems. The study concludes that Islam has an active and constructive approach to other cultures and religions in the field of education that is based on freedom of religion and educational justice. It also suggests that some practical researches should be done to explore the benefits of this Islamic solution in Malaysian society as a multicultural society.
The Presence of Ibn Khaldun and Toynbee’s Ideas in Malek Bennabi’s Interpretation of the Cyclical Movement of Civilization
Authors: Benlahcene Badrane
Published: July 2022

The research analysed the presence of the ideas of Ibn Khaldun and Toynbee in the thought of Malek Bennabi in his interpretation of the cyclical movement of civilization and its related issues. To achieve this goal, this study discussed the contributions of the cyclical school to the study of civilization, and then the presence of Ibn Khaldun’s and Toynbee’s ideas in Bennabi’s thought, in order to understand the epistemological link between them and Bennabi in terms of their influence upon him and his criticism of their ideas. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach of the writings of Ibn Khaldun, Toynbee, and Bennabi with regard to the interpretation of the movement of civilization. The study concluded that Bennabi was familiar with their interpretations of civilization and relied on them in building his explanatory model and that the close link between Bennabi’s interpretation of the movement of civilization and what Ibn Khaldun and Toynbee accomplished makes them form one school. The study proved the importance of knowing the sources from which Bennabi drew his ideas and built his perspective in the study of civilization, in order to gain an in-depth understanding of his efforts.

Leo Tolstoy as a Singer of the Russian Empire
Authors: Gulin Alexander V.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of a unique literary phenomenon: the transformation of the subjective anti-state aspirations of the artist into images glorifying the Russian Empire in the work of Leo Tolstoy. The originality of Tolstoy’s poetic principles is largely determined by the unity of his personal religious faith and creative method, psychological in nature. The Russian Empire is considered by the author of the article as the highest expression of the ideals of the Third Rome, opposite to Tolstoy’s, which received their formalization in the organizing formula of S. S. Uvarov “Orthodoxy – Autocracy – Nationality.” It is proved that imperial insights and revolutionary paradoxes in the creative world of Tolstoy form an indissoluble unity, where paradox is always a necessary condition for insight, its tool, its driving force. On the material of the Sevastopol stories, the epic novel “War and Peace”, the novel “Anna Karenina” it is shown how the subjective epic nature of the writer’s works in contact with the material of Russian reality “grows” with objective meanings, acquiring the features of a truly national, imperial epic. Simultaneously with the research article, it is methodological in nature; the principles of a strictly authentic interpretation of Leo Tolstoy’s heritage as a whole are formed in the work.
“Even So, Come, Lord Jesus”, or the Mystery of Gogol’s Death: To the 170th Anniversary of His Death
Authors: Voropaev Vladimir A.
Published: July 2022

The author of the article addresses the issue of N. V. Gogol’s death, analyzes his last words, behind which one can clearly hear the well-known saying of the saint close to Gogol’s soul Apostle Paul. The work shows that the righteous Christian death of Gogol became the pinnacle of his spiritual path, the last step of the ladder built in his soul which he climbed all his life. The Church Slavonic semantics of the word “requirement” is explained on the margins of Gogol’s Bible, it is assumed that the word “requirement” is used by the writer as Church Slavonic in the meaning: “need, necessity.” Some of Gogol’s thoughts are given about death and its impact on the people around him, educating a person from a young age in such a way that he always understands the real meaning of life, so that death is not an accident for him. It is shown that the words engraved on Gogol’s tombstone express the most important thing in his life and work: the desire to acquire the Holy Spirit and the preparation of the soul for a meeting with the Lord.
A ONU e a Diplomacia militar
Authors: Grigoli Guilherme de Araujo , Castro Lucas Amorim Poyares
Published: July 2022

A diplomacia militar é um dos instrumentos de implementação das agendas nacionais em cenários de conflito. A participação de um país em uma operação de paz está vinculada aos seus interesses nacionais, diretos ou indiretos, e pode impactar na eficácia destas. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, apoiada no estudo de caso da UNMISS, com utilização da técnica de observação não estruturada feita por um dos autores em 2015/2016 e de análise documental. Estuda como a diplomacia militar serve de ferramenta na relação entre as agendas nacionais e as Operações de Paz sob a égide da ONU. Especificamente, questionamos como o interesse nacional dos países contribuintes das missões de paz influenciam em sua eficácia. Ao final, como conclusões apresenta formas de reduzir e/ou mitigar esses efeitos no sistema ONU, repensando essa atividade para o aprimoramento do multilateralismo, entendendo o papel das alianças transnacionais na mitigação dessas diversas agendas nacionais no âmbito da missão.

El diagnóstico de guaduales en la cuenca hidrográfica del río Guarapas permite mostrar la relación de los actores sociales involucrados con el uso, aprovecha-miento y conservación de los rodales de guadua ubicados en dicha cuenca. De este análisis se define la estructura social y los actores partícipes de la cadena productiva respecto de la cantidad y calidad de la guadua en su estado natural, fundamental para que se formule una propuesta de un modelo de ordenamiento forestal sostenible productivo, que es la finalidad propuesta por los investigado-res de la región: plantear la creación de un centro que maneje e industrialice la guadua (Guadua angustifolia Kunth).Con el inventario de guaduales realizado se puede concluir que, en un área total estimada de 418,6 hectáreas y de acuerdo con el análisis estadístico, en la cuenca del río Guarapas existen alrededor de setecientas mil unidades de guadua, distribuidas así: ▶Guadua en renuevos o rebrotes, aproximadamente el 13,3% ▶Guadua verde, alrededor del 31,4% ▶Guadua madura, en torno al 50,4% ▶Guadua sobremadura, cerca del 4,9% Según el análisis de las 1 073 089 unidades de guaduas maduras en la cuenca y si se aprovecha el 25%, equivalentes a 268 272 unidades año, llevándolas a términos económicos, los productores pueden obtener dividendos aproximados a 2 682 720 000 pesos colombianos, que en euros puede significar alrededor de 836 259 351, si se estima el costo por guadua en 10 000 pesos colombianos. Los pro-ductores beneficiados serán las familias insertas en la cuenca y que posean roda-les ya sean como plantaciones forestales protectoras-productoras o productoras. La importancia de la investigación radica en el que se tiene actualizada la cantidad de guadua, su estado fitosanitario y los propietarios de guaduales, insumos fundamentales para que los entes territoriales incluyan la guadua en los planes de gestión ambiental regional tendientes a la industrialización; esto para darle valor agregado e incrementar la variedad de productos derivados de este mate-rial forestal bajo los parámetros de cadena de valor.

CHANGE IN THE LEVEL OF CORPORATE LENDING IN POLAND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Śliwa Mateusz , Kłosowska Aleksandra
Published: July 2022

The main theme undertaken in this paper is the assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate lending. The main objective of the article is to analyze the qualitative and quantitative changes in the level of corporate lending in Poland. The author focuses, on the one hand, on the ability of firms to incur liabilities and, on the other hand, on the changes in bank lending rules over the course of a changing economic reality burdened by the crisis caused by the pandemic. The individual analyses also show a broader comparative context by referring to statistical data before the onset of the virus crisis. In the case under review, uncertainty about the health of the MSP sector during the crisis weighed on the tightening of credit policy. An increase in demand for bank financing in the pandemic period was reported by both large companies and micro enterprises. However, only in the case of the former did the availability of loans increase. As a result, the gap between the availability of bank loans to large firms and the MSP sector widened.
Do Corporate Taxes Affect Executive Compensation?
Authors: Bornemann Tobias , Jacob Martin , Sailer Mariana
Published: July 2022

The limitation of executive compensation has been a matter of public and policy debate for at least 20 years. We examine a regulatory action in Austria in 2014 where the tax deductibility of the total value of executive compensation is unavoidably limited. We find no average effects on the growth or composition of executives’ pay. However, the deductibility limit affects the managers of firms with low bargaining power and of firms with strong corporate governance, indicating that they are affected by the deductibility limit. Additionally, the contract durations for executives decrease after renegotiation. We further find that affected firms experience cuts in investment and research and development, suggesting that shareholders bear part of the economic burden. Our results indicate that the effectiveness of other reforms, such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, in restricting executive pay is rather limited.

Disclosure and Lawsuits Ahead of Initial Public Offerings
Authors: Esmer Burcu , Ozel N. Bugra , Sridharan Suhas A.
Published: July 2022

We examine whether initial public offering (IPO) registration disclosures expose firms to greater nonshareholder litigation risk. Using hand-collected data on lawsuits initiated at federal and state courts against IPO firms, we show that firms that submit their IPO registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission publicly experience a 16 percent increase in litigation risk between the registration filing and issuance date. Consistent with the public filing of the registration driving this heightened litigation risk, firms that file their registration confidentially under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act do not experience such an increase in litigation risk. The effects of confidential filing are concentrated among business-initiated lawsuits, intellectual property/contract lawsuits, and potentially meritless lawsuits. We find no disproportionate increase in lawsuits after an IPO for confidential filers, suggesting that withholding information during the IPO registration period mitigates litigation risk.

Published: July 2022

Patients with diabetes present a persistent inflammatory process, leading to impaired wound healing. Since nonhealing diabetic wound management shows limited results, the introduction of advanced therapies targeting and correcting the inflammatory status of macrophages in chronic wounds could be an effective therapeutic strategy to stop the sustained inflammation and to return to a healing state. In an excisional skin injury in a diet-induced diabetic murine model, we demonstrate that topical administration of low-dose aspirin (36 μg/wound/day) improves cutaneous wound healing by increasing wound closure through the promotion of the inflammation resolution program of macrophages. This treatment increased efferocytosis of wound macrophages from aspirin-treated diabetic mice compared with untreated diabetic mice. We also show that aspirin treatment of high-fat–fed mice oriented the phenotype of wound macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory and proresolutive profile characterized by a decrease of LTB4 production. The use of diabetic mice deficient for 5-LOX or 12/15-LOX demonstrated that these two enzymes of acid arachidonic metabolism are essential for the beneficial effect of aspirin on wound healing. Thus, aspirin treatment modified the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids by promoting the synthesis of proresolving LXA4 through 5-LOX, LTA4, 12/15-LOX signaling. In conclusion, the restoration of an anti-inflammatory and proresolutive phenotype of wound macrophages by the topical administration of low-dose aspirin represents a promising therapeutic approach in chronic wounds.
Endogenous Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide Contributes to Sitagliptin-Mediated Improvement in Beta Cell Function in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Published: July 2022

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). DPP-4 inhibitors improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, but the importance of protecting GIP from degradation for their clinical effects is unknown. We included 12 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean±SD; BMI 27±2.6 kg/m2, HbA1c 7.1±1.4% (54±15 mmol/mol) in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to investigate the contribution of endogenous GIP to the effects of the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin. Participants underwent two randomized 13-day treatment courses of sitagliptin (100 mg/day) and placebo, respectively. At the end of each treatment period, we performed two mixed meal tests with infusion of the GIP receptor antagonist GIP(3-30)NH2(1,200 pmol/kg/min) or saline placebo. Sitagliptin lowered mean fasting plasma glucose by 1.1 mmol/L compared to placebo treatment. During placebo treatment, postprandial glucose excursions were increased during GIP(3-30)NH2 compared to saline (ΔAUC%±SEM; +7.3±2.8%) but were unchanged during sitagliptin treatment. Endogenous GIP improved beta cell function by 37±12% during DPP-4 inhibition by sitagliptin. This was determined by the insulin secretion rate / plasma glucose ratio. We calculated an estimate of the ‘absolute sitagliptin-mediated impact of GIP on beta cell function’ as the insulinogenic index during sitagliptin treatment plus saline infusion minus the insulinogenic index during sitagliptin plus GIP(3-30)NH2. This estimate was expressed relative to the maximal potential contribution of GIP to the effect of sitagliptin (= 100%), defined as the difference between the full sitagliptin treatment effect, including actions mediated by GIP (sitagliptin plus saline) and the physiological response minus any contribution by GIP (placebo treatment plus GIP(3-30)NH2). We demonstrate insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of endogenous GIP in patients with type 2 diabetes, and that endogenous GIP contributes to the improved beta cell function observed during DPP-4 inhibition.
The Case of Stated Preferences and Social Well-Being Indices
Authors: Cohen Kaminitz Shiri , Sonsono Iddan
Published: July 2022

This paper provides a real-world test case for how to approach contemporary preference aggregation procedures. We examine the method of using stated preferences (SP) to structure social well-being indices. The method has seen increasing popularity and interest, both in economists’ laboratory research and by governments and international institutions. SP offers a sophisticated aggregation of peoples’ preferences regarding social well-being aspects and, in this way, provides elegant and non-paternalistic techniques for deciding how to weigh and prioritize various potential aspects of social well-being (health, happiness, economic growth, etc.). However, this method also poses difficulties and limitations from broader political and philosophical perspectives. This paper comprehensively charts these difficulties and suggests that SP methods should be complemented with appropriate deliberation procedures. The paper bridges the distinct perspectives of economists and political theorists in order to make SP an attractive instrument in determining policy.
Relationality, Individuality and Entanglements of Helping in the Context of a Touristic Vaccine Trial
Authors: Huttunen Katriina Emilia
Published: July 2022

This article explores the idea of relationality and distributive agency in the context of a clinical vaccine trial. The diarrhoea vaccine trial was conducted in Western Africa, but as a unique element, recruited Finnish adults as trial participants, who travelled to the trial site to West Africa. Engaging with previous research on clinical trials in the global South that has emphasized the relationality and social embeddedness of Southern trial subjects, this article argues for an enacted social-material relationality of any research subject. As the vaccine trial under study transformed into practices and ideas of helping, the analysis illustrates forms of relational subjectivity and distributive agency by focusing on the notion of helping. The analysis is based on the trial participants’ accounts and practices, and draws on qualitative interviews (51) and ethnographic observation conducted between 2017 and 2019 at the trial site in West Africa.
An online counseling intervention for Nigerian undergraduates with academic burnout
Authors: Eseadi Chiedu
Published: July 2022

A growing problem among university students is academic burnout, and it has become more prevalent in recent years. With the increasing demand for school mental health services, online counseling interventions are gradually being regarded as a reasonable way to provide assistance to students with regard to burnout reduction. It was the researcher's aim to find out whether an online counseling intervention would be able to reduce academic burnout in a Nigerian undergraduate sample. A total of 80 Nigerian undergraduates were participants of this study. In this study, the participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=40) and to the control group (n=40) by using a simple randomization procedure.  For the collection of data, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory for Students and the Students School Burnout Inventory were utilised. The researcher applied repeated measures ANOVA to examine within and between groups' mean differences, reported η² to establish treatment effect size, and conducted posthoc analyses where mean differences existed using Holm's approach. The results of the study demonstrate that the online counseling intervention for academic burnout was effective in reducing the level of academic burnout among Nigerian undergraduates.As online counseling can help students reduce academic burnout, this finding opens the door to reach a larger number of burned-out students, such as those who live off-campus or are afraid of social stigma when seeking mental health care. This intervention has the potential to significantly improve student mental health related to burnout in other higher education settings like polytechnics. It is recommended that students should be encouraged to receive psychological supports and care from the university's counseling centre, not just during crises, but as a regular process of mental health support.

Published: July 2022

Pyloric gland adenoma is an uncommon precancerous polypoidal growth. Pyloric gland adenoma of stomach accounts for 2.7% of all gastric polyp. Mostly Pyloric gland adenoma are found in stomach but can be found in other anatomical sites. Pyloric gland adenoma of stomach occur in elderly population and having female predominance. Pyloric gland adenoma of stomach is commonly seen in chronic gastritis patients, autoimmune gastritis but can also occur in some genetic disease like familial adenomatous polyposis and Lynch syndrome. Early identification and therapeutic polypectomy by endoscopically and histopathological evaluation and confirmation of pyloric gland adenoma may reduce the chances of transformation of invasive adenocarcinoma.

Published: July 2022

Gliomas are the tumor of glial cells found in Central nervous System. High Grade Gliomas are rare in pediatric age group. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological examination. A 2 ½ year old male admitted with the complaint of abnormal tonic-clonic body movements along with headache, nausea, vomiting and fever. CT scan showed a poorly circumscribed hypodense lesion involving frontoparietal region. Surgery was performed and specimen sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological examination showed mfeatures of high grade glioma like microvascular proliferation, necrosis and haemorrhage. Cerebral tumors are the most common childhood neoplastic tumors. Gliomas are generally classified into low grade glioma and high grade glioma. High Grade glioma is rare in pediatric age group. Most commonly they present in supra tentorial compartment. The most common cerebral cortex involved are frontal lobe followed by parietal and temporal.
