Αρκετά χρόνια πριν, όταν κάποιος αναφερόταν στην Ασία, συνειρμικά σκεφτόταν «φτώχεια» ή/και «κακή ποιότητα ζωής». Ωστόσο, σήμερα η Ασία παρουσιάζει δείγματα ταχείας ανάπτυξης με την Ιαπωνία να αποτελεί την «αιχμή του δόρατος» . Η χώρα, όμως, εκείνη που φαίνεται να αναπτύσσεται με ταχύτατους ρυθμούς, ιδίως τα τελευταία χρόνια, είναι η Σοσιαλιστική Δημοκρατία του Βιετνάμ. Η γεωγραφική της θέση και η πολιτική της σταθερότητα συνιστούν κάποιους από τους λόγους, για τους οποίους το Βιετνάμ αποτελεί έναν από τους ισχυρότερους πόλους έλξης επενδύσεων στον κόσμο. Άλλωστε η ισχυροποίηση μίας οικονομίας επιτυγχάνεται, μεταξύ άλλων, μέσω της προσέλκυσης επενδύσεων, γεγονός που αποδεικνύεται και στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση.

By Heart: The Effect of Different Memorisation Conditions on the Verbatim Recall of Poems
Authors: Wootten William , Dyson Meg , Jackson Rebecca , Jarrold Christopher , Kazanina Nina
Published: November 2023

Poetry memorization is undergoing a revival: in the classroom, among performers at live poetry events, and among members of the general public. While many claims are made about the benefits of learning poetry by heart and how best to go about it, there is a lack of empirical research in the area. This work examined which of a range of types of recommended methods would prove the most effective means of learning a poem by heart. Participants in an online experiment (n = 85, aged between 18 and 80) memorised four sonnets by William Shakespeare, each under a different condition: ‘Control’ (silent reading), ‘Oral’ (vocalised reading), ‘Imagery’, (silent reading accompanied by visualisation of the poem’s content) and ‘Movement’ (silent reading accompanied by rhythmical movement). Each experimental session began with an initial period of exposure to the poem after which learning in the absence of any intervention was assessed. This was succeeded by fifteen minutes memorization under one of the four experimental conditions, followed by a final memory test. Analysis of data from participants who took part in at least 3 of the 4 online sessions (n = 69) clearly indicated that the oral condition led to more effective recall than the other manipulations. The results raise a number of questions about the memorization process and its relationship to poetic form and suggest avenues for further research. They also make evident the clear advantages of oral rehearsal, for those who want to memorise poems themselves or to foster effective verse memorization in the classroom.
Variation in divergent thinking, executive-control abilities, and mind-wandering measured in and out of the laboratory
Authors: Rodriguez-Boerwinkle Rebekah , Welhaf Matt , Smeekens Bridget Anne , Booth Rachel A. , Kwapil Thomas Richard , Silvia Paul , Kane Michael J.
Published: November 2023

Individual differences in executive functions (or executive control abilities) predict variation in creative thinking ability. Relatedly, propensity for mind-wandering has been gaining attention among creativity scholars, but its effects on creativity remain unclear. The present study conceptually replicates and extends recent laboratory and experience-sampling work to assess the links between individual differences in divergent thinking, executive control abilities (working memory capacity and attention control), and measures of mind-wandering collected in both contexts. SEM analyses revealed that executive control factors weakly predicted divergent thinking scores, mainly due to their role in filtering out uncreative ideas rather than generating highly novel ones. Lab-based measures of mind-wandering didn't significantly correlate with overall creative thinking, challenging the idea that mind-wandering consistently enhances creativity, but they were positively linked to highly creative divergent thinking scores. Daily-life measures of mind-wandering, meanwhile, did not provide stronger predictive insights into creative thinking than lab measures. Finally, exploratory analyses revealed that divergent thinking scores based on highly creative responses were positively associated with daydreaming episodes during laboratory tasks. We end our investigation with a call for greater theoretical precision and some hypotheses to guide future work.
More Money or More Problems? Assessing the Fiscal Impact of Consolidation in Macon-Bibb County, Georgia
Authors: Acuff Christopher
Published: November 2023

Attempts to create consolidated city-county governments have persisted in recent decades, with many local government reformers touting this type of organizational change as a solution to a number of challenges in metropolitan areas. Overall, research in this area has generally shown no conclusive outcomes related to achieving greater efficiencies as measured by a reduction in expenditures. However, the 2014 consolidation of Macon-Bibb County, Georgia presents an opportunity to explore a substantively important case due to a mandated twenty percent reduction in expenditures over a five-year period. This analysis finds that while officials generally met their goal of reducing budgeted expenditures, an analysis of actual expenditures and questions pertaining to longer-term outcomes, including reductions in staffing, performance, and credit ratings may be a cautionary tale for similar efforts in the future.
Farmer Awareness of Using Pesticides in Vegetables and Effects on Human Health
Authors: Kafle Bishnumani
Published: November 2023

Nowadays pesticides are perceived essential for agriculture and are used extensively throughout the world. It is used for repelling, destroying or controlling pests. The objective of the study was to analyze the farmer awareness in pesticide use and its effects on health in Panchakhal Municipality. Descriptive study design and quantitative data were used. Non-probability purposive sampling method was used to select respondents. 38 farmers were selected as respondents during seven days. Interview schedule were used to collect data. The finding of the study showed that around seventy five percent male were involved to spray pesticides in commercialize vegetables. Among them, most of were young. More than fifty percent farmers were educated but they had no knowledge about proper handling of pesticides. Almost people were involved in agriculture sectors in the study area. Almost farmers used chemical pesticides in their vegetables farms to kill pests in order to increase production. Most pesticides purchasing places were agro-vet and nearby shop. Nobody took advice from agriculture office or JTA. Most of farmers had harvested vegetables just next day after spraying pesticide. Around ninety percent farmer had not taken any types of training for safe handling of pesticides as well as didn’t use personal protective equipment (PPE) properly. Farmers, who had taken basic training, almost had no health hazards. Most of them had no knowledge about proper management of empty bottles or packets of pesticides. A few percent farmers gave attention on proper personal hygiene after applying pesticides. Pesticides handling practices were not satisfactory and different health issues were reported.
Uncovering Ethnomathematics and Indigenous Epistemology: A Study of Chundara Culture
Authors: Pradhan Jaya Bishnu
Published: November 2023

The primary aim of this paper is to delve into the realm of ethnomathematical concepts and indigenous epistemology of Chundaras culture. To accomplish this, I employed a methodology that included in-depth interviews and participant observations conducted at various stages of the process, focusing on professionals selected for the study. My analysis encompassed a comprehensive exploration of the Chundaras' daily routines, their workplaces, their actions, methods, and the outcomes they produced, with particular attention to uncovering the hidden mathematical knowledge woven into various aspects of their lives. The study revealed that the Chundaras' approach to teaching and learning was marked by participatory and cooperative methods, where they acquired knowledge with the guidance of their parents. This aligns with Vygotsky's perspective, which views learning as a social activity through which shared mathematical understandings are collectively constructed. However, it became evident that the conventional pedagogy followed in schools stood in stark contrast to the indigenous knowledge of the Chundaras, appearing distant and disconnected from their unique ways of knowing and learning.
Married Women’s Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Regarding Uterine Prolapse in Morang District of Nepal
Authors: Paudel Thuma Kumari , Adhikari Govinda Prasad
Published: November 2023

Uterine prolapse is a common health problem, particularly among adults and old women in Nepal. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge on uterine prolapse among currently married women aged 15 to 49 years and assess their attitude and practice. Researchers used a descriptive research approach in this study. Participants were selected from simple random sampling, and the study area was selected from purposive sampling. There were 140 respondents aged 15 to 49 years currently married women. If there are two respondents in a single family, then the researcher has picked only one respondent for the interview. Semi-structured interview schedules have been used as a tool for the study. Research has identified various factors for uterine prolapse like age at first marriage, place of delivery, and history of abortion. Nearly one in two women had average knowledge of uterine prolapse, and one in four women had never heard of uterine prolapse. There are good practices (90 percent) for getting health facilities for uterine prolapse checkups. However, many of them are unaware of the Kegel exercise. Very few women (one in ten women) had a positive attitude towards uterine prolapse. To promote knowledge, attitudes, and practices of uterine prolapse, health promotion programs should target women from all caste/ethnic groups, age groups, and education levels, including urban and rural communities.

Challenges Facing Women in School Leadership Positions: At Community Schools in Lalitpur Nepal
Authors: Ghimire Durga Devi
Published: November 2023

Women's leadership in education, particularly in the role of women head teachers, plays a pivotal role in advocating for women's rights and fostering inclusive development. However, women in school leadership positions encounter substantial obstacles stemming from cultural, economic, and social factors. This study's primary objective is to delve into the perceptions and experiences of women headteachers concerning the multifaceted challenges they confront while leading community schools in the Lalitpur district of Nepal. To accomplish this, in-depth interviews will be conducted with three women head teachers representing different community schools. Despite the evolving landscape, Nepal still grapples with the prevailing perception of women as second-class citizens. Furthermore, state laws have not entirely rectified these societal disparities, particularly within educational leadership roles. In many instances, women in school leadership positions do not receive the encouragement they deserve, and they often face bias, where they are seen as inferior to their male counterparts. The complex challenges and disparities faced by women in educational leadership underscore the need for further research to comprehensively understand the issue, given the potential diversity of perspectives within Nepalese society.

HIP as a Creative Tool for Performance Design: Investigating the Performance Practice of Satie’s Mélodies to Challenge the Stereotypes of the Classical Recital
Authors: Baldelli Heloise
Published: November 2023

In the 20th century a wave of experimentation and discussion hit most artistic disciplines. As pianist-researcher Mine Dogantan-Dack points out, classical music has been slow to join in. Although composers have been experimenting with the musical language, classical music performance as an artistic practice has relatively stayed untouched. In the area of vocal music, the traditional recital format with the singer standing by the piano is THE standard. In my doctoral research project, I aim to challenge and explore alternatives to this traditional format. I start by investigating the original performance practice of Satie’s mélodies to then design three different performances of this repertoire using various artistic methods and theoretic concepts. The first one is based on the approach known as historical informed performance (HIP). Satie’s mélodies are little known and seldom performed. They are also difficult to appreciate at a first hearing: incredibly short, condensed in their simplicity, lacking catchy melodies and with obscure texts. My hypothesis is that the standard way of performing them, as a static vocal chamber music recital, doesn’t suit them and makes it in fact harder for the public to appreciate them. Investigating the original performance practice then became a way to rediscover other aspects of the music, beyond the dogmas of the score, and to find inspiration for creating alternative modes of presenting classical vocal chamber music. In this paper I retrace my use of HIP as a creative tool for designing performances of classical music.
Applicability of different regression models for estimation of merchantable wood volume of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Dukić Vojislav , Bilić Srđan , Petrović Danijela , Jović Goran
Published: November 2023

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are tariff tables used for estimating the volume of sessile oak trees in high forests, which were created on the basis of two-entry volume tables for oak trees from the area of Germany, authored by Schwappach in 1905. There are indications that the application of the aforementioned tariffs in forest management practice results in certain differences in the estimated amount of merchantable wood volume compared to the real situation. The material for creation of volume tables was the data concerning the measurement of 2,413 model trees in different habitat and stand conditions. A large number of widely used regression models was tested to equalize the volume of merchantable wood volume as a dependent variable in terms of the diameter at breast height and height of the tree as independent variables. Regression models such as Schumacher-Hall and Spurr II provide satisfactory accuracy, that is, they can be used to estimate the merchantable wood volume of sessile oak trees in high forests (pure and mixed) in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a permissible deviation. By introducing the third variable into the model, diameter at seven meters height, the accuracy of the tree volume estimation increases significantly, but due to the significant increase in the volume of work on collecting the necessary data, this model is not suitable for use in forest inventories.

Influence of Peer Counselling Strategies on Gender-based Violence among Students in Selected Private Tertiary Institutions in Thika Sub-county, Kiambu County, Kenya
Authors: Visibwa Moses , K’Okul Florence
Published: November 2023

Statement of the Problem: Peer-counselling plays an important role in minimizing instances of gender-based violence among students. However, in Thika Sub-county, cases of gender-based violence among students in private tertiary institutions have been on the rise.
Purpose of the Study: To assess the influence of peer counselling strategies on gender-based violence among students in private tertiary institutions in Thika Sub-county, Kiambu County, Kenya.
Methodology: The study adopted mixed methodology and thus applied concurrent triangulation research design. Target population comprised 58 deans of students, 113 college counsellors and 2356 peer-counsellors totaling 2527 respondents from which a sample of 345 respondents (13.6%) was obtained using Yamane’s Formula. Stratified sampling was applied to create five strata based on zones in Thika Sub-county. From each zone, five deans of students and five college counsellors from five colleges were sampled using purposive sampling. However, from each zone, simple random sampling was applied to select 59 peer counsellors to avoid bias. This sampling procedure realized a sample size of 25 deans of students, 25 college counsellors and 295 peer counsellors. A questionnaire was used to collect data from peer counsellors whereas an interview guide was used to collect data from deans of students and college counsellors. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically along the objectives and presented in narrative forms. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages and inferential statistics such as linear regression analysis with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-Version 23) and presented using tables.
Findings: The study found that cases of gender-based violence among students in private tertiary colleges have been on the rise for the last five years (2018 to 2022). However, introduction of peer counselling strategies has not, to a great extent, reduced instances of GBV among students.
Recommendations: Private colleges should continue training students as peer-counsellors to help model behaviour patterns of their peers. They should continue planning and organizing counselling sessions for students to enable them generate solutions to their behavioural problems without depending on any significant adult.
FORMATION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN AND NITROGEN SPECIES IN RAT LIVER TISSUES UNDER CONDITIONS OF SURGICAL TRAUMA REPRODUCED ON THE BACKGROUND OF EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
Authors: Ryabushko R.M. , Kostenko V.O.
Published: November 2023

In an experiment on 42 white rats, the mechanisms of oxidative-nitrosative stress in liver tissues under conditions of surgical trauma reproduced on the background of post-traumatic stress disorder were studied. It has been shown that the reproduction of an experimental model of posttraumatic stress disorder (single prolonged stress) causes the development of oxidative-nitrosative stress in rat liver tissues: it increases the rate of superoxide anion radical generation by microsomes, mitochondria and leukocyte NADPH oxidase, increases NO-synthase activity by activating the inducible isoform, reduces the activity and conjugation of constitutive NO-synthases, which is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of peroxynitrites of alkaline and alkaline-earth metals. On the 7th day after laparotomy against the background of reproduction of the experimental model of post-traumatic stress disorder, the indicators of oxidative-nitrosative stress in rat liver tissues, such as the production of superoxide anion radical by microsomes, microsomes and leukocyte NADPH oxidase total and inducible NO-synthase activity and concentration of peroxynitrites of alkaline and alkaline-earth metals, significantly exceed their values after a single laparotomy and after a sham operation against the background of simulated single prolonged stress.

Published: November 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of pathogens causing infectious and inflammatory diseases in soft tissues within the maxillofacial region to antibiotics. The study was performed on 282 clinical isolates collected from patients. The sensitivity of the microorganisms to antibiotics was evaluated based on the EUCAST committee quality control standards. The variability in the sensitivity of microorganisms isolated from patients with infectious and inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial soft tissues to antibiotics has been determined. Representatives of the genus Staphylococcus exhibit high sensitivity to vancomycin, fluoroquinolones and lincosamides. At the same time, they are characterized by the lowest sensitivity to aminglicosites and penicillins. Enterococcus spp. has high sensitivity to tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, showing the lowest results with penicillins and carbapenems. Streptococcuss spp. viridans-group show low sensitivity to penicillins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, and lincosamides, while maintaining high sensitivity to glycopeptides. Low sensitivity of Acinetobacter spp. isolated from patients with infectious and inflammatory diseases of maxillofacial soft tissues to antibacterial drugs of different groups has been revealed. The study has shown e significant variation in the sensitivity of isolates to antibiotics commonly used in clinical practice and recommended by the EUCAST quality committee, suggesting the prospects for their use.
MEDICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF WATER-RELATED IMPACTS ON HUMAN HEALTH IN CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT
Authors: Zviaholska I.M. , Derevianko T.V. , Polianska V.P.
Published: November 2023

This article addresses the pressing concerns regarding the influence of water as a potential risk factor on public health. Particular emphasis is given to the potential for worsening the epidemiological situation in Ukraine due to water pollution, especially in regions affected by martial law. The study aims to analyze the medical and microbiological risks associated with the impact of water on public health, considering the vital role of water in modern life. To accomplish this objective, we conducted a comprehensive review of online resources from contemporary databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. We employed bibliosystematic and analytical methods in our research. Our investigation reveals that the compromise of water resource safety, particularly in regions marked by active hostilities or territories affected by significant anthropogenic stress, can lead to isolated outbreaks of infectious diseases that have the potential to escalate into epidemics. The article highlights a range of microorganisms that can be transmitted through water, such as bacteria (including E. coli, campylobacter, legionella, leptospira, typhoid salmonella, various types of salmonella, shigella, cholera, and parahaemolytic vibrio), viruses (such as rotaviruses, adeno-, astro-, noro-, and enteroviruses, as well as hepatitis A and E viruses), protozoa (including acanthamoebae, dysentery amoeba, giardia, and the pathogens of cryptosporidiosis and cyclosporiasis), and fungi (yeasts and certain molds). Intestinal and sapronose infections pose a substantial health risk to the population, with water and soil serving as the natural reservoirs of pathogens. Some sapronoses can also be transmitted by animals or animal-derived food products (e.g., cholera, clostridial infections, botulism, legionellosis, etc.). Overcrowded conditions exacerbate the potential for aerosol contamination. Therefore, the implementation of health-preserving technologies should consider the medical and microbiological risks associated with water and aim to minimize the adverse impact of waterborne pathogens on human health.

Published: November 2023

This clinical case presents our observations of a 5-month-old boy diagnosed with Williams’s syndrome, highlighting the complexities of recognizing this condition, especially in the early stages of life, where paediatricians and neonatologists play a crucial role in the diagnostic process. Williams’s syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 10,000 newborns across different ethnic groups and genders. The condition is primarily caused by a mutation in a group of genes located on the long arm of the 7th chromosome (7q11.23), leading to microdeletion and the loss of specific genes, including elastin, LIM-kinase-1, and replication factor C2 (RFC), while some "lost" genes remain unidentified. In rarer cases, deletions are found on the 11th and 12th chromosomes (11q13-q14 and 22q). This syndrome often presents sporadically, complicating early diagnosis due to its multisystem nature, affecting various organs and systems, such as the cardiovascular, nervous, muscular, urinary, and facial structures. The absence of timely diagnosis and treatment can adversely impact physical and neuropsychological development in affected children. In our case, the final diagnosis was confirmed through molecular genetic examination. Our conclusion highlights the challenges of diagnosing Williams’s syndrome due to its multisystem clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis is essential for parents to gain insights into the disease, its prognosis, and to make informed decisions about raising the child within the family. We recommend a comprehensive approach to the care and rehabilitation of patients with Williams’s syndrome. This necessitates the coordinated efforts of various specialists including paediatricians, geneticists, cardiologists, surgeons, orthopaedists, orthodontists, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, neurologists, and psychologists throughout the patient's follow-up care.

It was observed that the study groups exhibited no significant distinctions in terms of nosological categories of circulatory system diseases, average age, and the number of bed-days, with no statistical significance identified. The analysis revealed that during the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine's territory in 2022, the demand for cardiac surgery hospital beds surged by 266.3% when compared to the 2014 bed capacity. Notably, the number of bed-days saw only a modest 6.3% increase during inpatient treatment for servicemen. Conclusions. The study has shown that the number of bed days did not increase significantly in the inpatient treatment of military personnel, only by 6.3%. Due to the increase in the number of patients/wounded, the State Institution "Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine" opened a Military Cardiac and Major Vessel Surgery Department. This department specializes in providing highly specialized medical care to servicemen with combat-related heart injuries, major vessel wounds, and chest trauma.

Traumatology is one of the branches of medicine that cannot suspend its activities, despite the danger of the COVID-19 epidemic. Treatment of skeletal bone fractures in patients with COVID-19, given the novelty of this problem, is one of the most difficult tasks of modern traumatology and orthopaedics. Bone fractures against the background of COVID-19 are characterized not only by high mortality and disability, but also by unpredictable progression. The aim of our study was to study the impact of the mechanism of occurrence and traumatogenesis of long bone fractures in patients with COVID-19. To carry out the research tasks, we formed a retrospective study array, which consisted of 289 cases of skeletal bone fractures, which were treated at the "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital of Emergency Medical Care" from March 2020 to February 2021. The main mechanism of injury in patients with skeletal bone fractures against COVID-19 was a fall from a height, which was observed 1.5 times more often than in the pre-war period. There was a 10% reduction in high-energy injury mechanisms such as falls from height and direct impact during the epidemic period, and an almost 10% increase in low-energy compression injury mechanisms. Among the patients of the main group, the combination of lighter mechanisms of injury such as falling and compression was more often detected, in contrast to the patients of the control group, where more high-energy mechanisms of trauma from a fall and a direct blow prevailed. During the COVID-19 epidemic, domestic injuries as a cause of fractures increased sharply and the specific gravity of road accidents decreased sharply, which is associated with epidemic restrictions. During the period of the COVID-19 epidemic, industrial injuries significantly decreased, while criminal and combined injuries remained at the same level as before the epidemic.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. The musculoskeletal system plays a vital role in maintaining posture and facilitating human movement, with the muscles often subjected to significant stress. Stabilometry can be used for evaluating postural balance and aiding in rehabilitation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the TYMO robotic stabilometric platform for the rehabilitation of patients with cervical and lumbar spine instability.Participants and methods. The study was conducted on the stable platform TYMO (Tyromotion). The study included 30 healthy students (group 1), 28 patients with instability of the cervical vertebra, who underwent standard rehabilitation treatment (group 2), 28 patients with instability of the cervical vertebra, who additionally used with a stabiloplatform (group 3), 29 patients with with instability of the lumbar spine, who received standard rehabilitation treatment (group 4), 29 patients with instability of the lumbar spine, who were additionally treated with a stabiloplatform (group 5). Groups 3 and 5, alongside with standard rehabilitation treatment, received a 10-day course involving stabiloplatform training. The parameters of the Center of Force (COF) section and load distribution were analyzed. Results and Discussion. When analyzing the respective indices across all groups in various functional positions prior to the treatment, the values were significantly increased. The use of the stabiloplatform proved to be effective in the treatment of patients, leading to the normalization of these indices. Notably, its application yielded a lasting therapeutic effect, whereas conventional physiotherapeutic methods fell short in achieving a lasting impact. Conclusions: Patients with cervical or lumbar spine instability demonstrate impaired balance test indicators. Following a 10-day treatment regimen with traditional rehabilitation methods, improvements are observed across all indicators, but they do not fully restore to the control levels in all functional positions. Furthermore, after one month, indicators deteriorate in nearly all functional positions. Training using a stabiloplatform is an effective approach in the treatment of patients with cervical or lumbar spine instability, and its use demonstrates a sustained therapeutic benefit.
ASSESSING THE EFFICACY OF LONG-PROTOCOL OVULATION STIMULATION USING GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE AGONIST IN WOMEN EXPERIENCING INFERTILITY AND COMORBIDITY OF LEIOMYOMA AND CHRONIC ENDOMETRITIS

Introduction. Nowadays infertility is one of the global medical and social issues worldwide. Assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization, is one of the main techniques for restoring fertility. Among the main stages of IVF are controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), the optimal method of which is chosen depending on a numerous factor, such as the patient's age, the ovarian reserve, and the presence of concomitant gynecological or extragenital pathology. The prevalence of various combinations of gynecological pathologies, for example, the comorbidity of uterine leiomyoma and chronic endometritis, can affect the results of IVF in different ways, so scientists around the world are increasingly studying the management of such patients. The aim of the study is to compare controlled ovarian stimulation long-protocol parameters and its effectiveness in the therapy of infertile patients with the comorbidity of uterine leiomyoma and chronic endometritis. Methods and participants. We performed retrospective comparative analysis of anamnestic data of 130 women with infertility who underwent infertility treatment with assisted reproductive technologies. The patients were divided into three groups. In all groups, stimulation of superovulation was carried out following a long protocol with a GnRH agonist; p<0.05 was considered statistically significant during the statistical data processing. Results. The study has revealed that higher starting dose of gonadotropins, as well as higher total gonadotropin consumptions are required for the patients of the second study group with uterine leiomyoma and chronic endometritis, compared to the first study group and the control group. The number of retrieved oocytes, including mature ones, were the lowest as well as the number of immature, deeply immature and degenerative oocytes were the highest in the second study group. The lowest rate of normal fertilization (2pn) and, as a result, a lower blastocyst yield is recorded in the same group. The highest frequency of aborted pregnancies among achieved clinical pregnancies is observed in the group of infertile women with uterine leiomyoma and chronic endometritis. Conclusions. The presence of the uterine cavity pathology combined with persistent chronic inflammation of the uterine mucosa, as well as the absence of proper preparation for IVF-ET cycles are the main reasons for the negative infertility treatment outcomes in such patients. This justifies the need for appropriate optimal preparation and elimination of the identified negative factors before or during the infertility treatment.

Published: November 2023

We introduce a new class of pseudo-Riemannian submersions which are called quasi hemi-slant pseudo-Riemannian submersions from para-Kaehler manifolds to pseudo-Riemannian manifolds as a natural generalization of slant submersions, semi-invariant submersions, semi-slant submersions and hemislant Riemannian submersions in our study. Also, we give non-trivial examples of such submersions. Further, some geometric properties with two types of quasi hemi-slant pseudo-Riemannian submersions are investigated

Published: November 2023

Existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic stability of modulo periodic Poisson stable solutions of dynamic equations on a periodic time scale are investigated. The model under investigation involves a term which is constructed via a Poisson stable sequence. Novel definitions for Poisson stable as well as modulo periodic Poisson stable functions on time scales are given, and the reduction technique to systems of impulsive differential equations is utilized to achieve the main result. An example which confirms the theoretical results is provided.
The coalition interaction in the government of Pedro Sanchez in Spain (2020—2023)
Authors: Baranov Andrey
Published: November 2023

This article identifies trends in the development of coalition interaction of political parties within the center-left government of Pedro Sanchez in Spain (2020 – summer 2023). The type of the ruling coalition in Spain is determined as unstable due to the high ideological distance between the participants and the lack of previous experience of cooperation. The political agenda of the government was revealed, it included such social problems as raising the minimum wage and pensions, combating unemployment, labor reform, reducing housing and energy costs, combating corruption, achieving gender equality, and political settlement of the Catalan conflict. The author describes in what aspects of government policy compromises or contradictions prevailed between the main participants of the coalition: PSOE and “Unidas Podemos”. The participants reached compromises in the sphere of increasing citizens' incomes and combating unemployment. The contradictions between the parties are most characteristic of the perception of the Catalan conflict, foreign policy, participatory democracy, progressive taxation. The election campaigns of 2021–2023 led to a significant decline in the influence of “Unidas Podemos”, turning the PSOE into the dominant member of the coalition. The significance of the article is shown in the assessment of the procedures and practices of interaction of parties (inter-party conferences) in the government of Spain, the forecast of the possibilities of creating coalitions after the national elections on July 23, 2023. The author makes the conclusions about “forced coalitions” at the level of national and regional governments. Pragmatic compromises based on the experience of the interaction of parties are also inevitable for the activities of the future right-wing government.
