ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ УСТАНОВ РАЦСу В ЧАСИ НІМЕЦЬКОЇ ОКУПАЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ У ГАЛУЗІ РЕЄСТРАЦІЇ ФАКТУ НАРОДЖЕННЯ ТА СМЕРТІ (1941 – 1944 рр.)
Authors: Іvаnenko Аlіnа
Published: November 2019

Хаос перших тижнів окупації, формування нових органів влади, а також загальна розгубленість місцевого населення, викликана екстремальними умовами життя, та невизначеність майбутнього соціального статусу стали причиною відсутності реєстрації актів цивільного стану. Проте соціальне життя, незважаючи на воєнне лихоліття, продовжувалось. Народжувалися діти, помирали люди, створювалися нові сім’ї та розлучалися подружжя. Все це потребувало втручання влади. Але певний час фактичні сімейні відносини у площині офіційних змін цивільного стану складалися поза втручанням державно-політичних інститутів і лише потім розпочалася їх фіксація, а невдовзі й безпосереднє правове регулювання. Уже восени 1941 р. населення зобов’язувалося зареєструвати фактично здійснені, але не зареєстровані акти громадянського стану. Для цього потрібні були не лише органи реєстрації, а й певна нормативна база. Згодом, у 1943 р. було видано Розпорядження рейхскомісара України про ЗАГС та його орган догляду. Сімейні відносини місцевого населення України у часи німецької окупації були об’єктом наукових досліджень істориків. Публікації у даній галузі здійснили Гончаренко О., Шайкан В., Заболотня Т., Нагайко Т. Але діяльність РАЦСу у сфері реєстрації факту народження та смерті ніколи предметно не розглядалась, що власне і зумовило актуальність даного дослідження. РАЦС працював достатньо системно. Документація покладалась на службовця РАЦСу. Службовець вів книгу, де реєструвались шлюби, дати народження та дати смерті. Повідомлення про народження або смерть могли дати у певні терміни і лише чітко визначені особи, при чому лише у зазначеному порядку, який можна було порушувати у крайніх випадках. За неправдиво подану або записану інформацію призначалась відповідальність для співробітника РАЦСу чи відповідальної особи. Усі записи у Книгах можна було коригувати, лише виправлення запису про національну приналежність допускалось за розпорядженням Гебітскомісару. До кожної книги народження або смерті існував дублікат, який відправляли до органу Догляду на перевірку.
THE METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY
Authors: Chernov Borys
Published: November 2019

Today, global economic changes require a solution of many issues related not only to the improvement of new technologies in industry, agriculture, but also in area of solution of problems of internal and external migration of population. These issues up to 60-ies of XX century were integral parts of economic geography. Economic geography in this period made a considerable progress; it has been recognized not only in our country but also abroad. Evidence of this was the triumph of international scientific conferences and numerous publications. After a lengthy discussion, the economic geography as a separate independent science ceased to exist. In economic geography has formed an uncertainty situation of its status: today, some geographers affirm that economic geography no longer executed function as an independent science and became addition to other sciences. After a long and emotional discussion «the fate» of economic geography had been determined – it had become part of other sciences, «social geography» and «social and economic geography». However, new sciences can’t be without economic geography. Therefore, there was a problem ascertain the current status of economic geography in the system of geographical sciences. In fact, it is self-sufficient science. For proving this statement, we determined the ways for further research.
ГРОМАДІВСЬКИЙ РУХ ЯК ФЕНОМЕН НАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО САМОУСВІДОМЛЕННЯ УКРАЇНЦІВ ДРУГОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ ХІХ СТ.
Authors: Nahaiko Taras
Published: November 2019

У статті розглянуто питання, пов’язані з українським громадівським рухом другої половини ХІХ ст. У цей час з-поміж прогресивних кіл суспільства зріс інтерес до самоусвідомлення етнічних особливостей українського народу. Наукове вивчення історії та культури рідного краю дало подальший поштовх для усвідомлення власних національних рис. Учасники українофільських організацій ставили собі за мету просвітницьку діяльність в середовищі українського селянства, а також наукове вивчення історії та культури рідного краю. У період з кінця 50-их до 90-их рр. ХІХ ст. у великих українських містах створилися т.зв. Громади. У цей час зусиллями інтелігенції було сформовано суспільну національну модель, що відіграла важливу роль у самовизначенні українців як політичної нації. Наукова та творча еліта зосередили свої потуги на вивченні мови, історії, етнографії, створенні національної літератур та театру. У реаліях імперської дійсності ці процеси жорстко контролювалися владними інституціями. Найбільш активні громадівці переслідувалися урядом, заборонялися їх творча та наукова діяльність. Втім, не зважаючи на це, державотворчі процеси, щомали вигляд культурного просвітництва розвинулись у формування української держави.

Standard Surgical Excision of Basal Cell Carcinomas in the Non-H Area of the Face: A Case Series Illustrating an Alternative to Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Authors: Wang S , Au J , Ashack K , Lai O , Chan LS
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy among Caucasians. Most studies compare the efficacy of standard surgical excision versus Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers in the high-risk or H area of the face. This case series focuses on the lesser-studied non-H area and suggests the use of standard surgical excision as an alternative to MMS for these regions of the face.
Methods: A total of 10 patients with BCCs of the non-H area of the face underwent standard surgical excision with repair at the James A. Lovell Federal Health Center between October 2014 to October 2018. The average age of this group was 77.3 years and all patients were males. Nine of the 10 patients had nodular type BCCs and 1 patient had micronodular type BCC with ulceration. BCCs were located on the forehead in 8 cases and the cheek in 2 cases. Diameters of the lesions ranged from 6mm-8mm. Excision margins were 3- to 5-mm. Defects were repaired using local flaps in 9 cases and linear closure in 1 case.
Results: Histopathologic evaluation of the excision specimens revealed clear surgical margins in 9 out of 10 cases. There was one case in which positive deep margins were identified, although the patient had a BCC with a more aggressive histologic pattern. Of the 9 cases with clear surgical margins, none had clinical evidence of local recurrence at follow-up ranging from 2 to 38 months.
Discussion: BCCs in the non-H area of the face can be successfully treated using standard surgical excision with a high cure rate and low postoperative complications. MMS should be reserved for BCCs at increased risk for recurrence on the basis of factors such as location in the H area on the face and an aggressive histologic growth pattern (e.g. micronodular, morpheaform, infiltrating, metatypical).
Practice points:
• Basal cell carcinomas in the non-H area of the face can be successfully treated using standard surgical excision with a high cure rate and low postoperative complications.
• Mohs micrographic surgery should be reserved for BCCs at increased risk for recurrence on the basis of factors such as location in the H area on the face and an aggressive histologic growth pattern (e.g. micronodular, morpheaform, infiltrating, metatypical).

Wide excision was performed with use of harmonic energy device due to the patient’s overlying pacemaker. Histologic analysis confirmed high grade dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
Necrotizing Fasciitis of The Abdominal Wall Following Colonoscopy with Fatal Outcome - A Case Report
Authors: Matz Daniel , Heizmann Oleg
Published: November 2019

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious and potentially life threatening soft tissue infection, usually caused by different types of bacteria such as group A streptococcus, staphylococcus spp. (type 1 infection) or mixed infection by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (type 2 infection). Usually, the infection arises from skin injury, in injections or surgical procedures and effects the fascia as well as the subcutaneous tissue. Overwhelming progression and difficulties in diagnosing are very common. Mortality rate is up to 100% depending on the type of soft tissue infection and did not markedly decrease in the past decades [1]. Here we present a case of NF with fatal outcome following colonoscopy, which was primarily suspected to be a post polypectomy syndrome.

Published: November 2019

Silicone implants have been widely used for breast reconstruction and augmentation for years. One of the potential complications of these implants is rupture. Once rupture they start a granulomatous foreign body reaction in the surrounding tissue. The resulting mass formation poses diagnostic difficulties for the surgeons, as it mimics cancer. We report a case of 40 years female who underwent bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants, later presented with a mass. We suspect it local recurrence of tumor on initial presentation and radiology. Definitive diagnosis was only made after complete excision of the mass and histopathology report. No further treatment required and patient doing well.
Scenario approach in forecasting tax revenues of the state budget of Ukraine
Authors: Martynenko Valentyna
Published: November 2019

Introduction. State revenue management stands first in the areas of government regulation, which is provided by the regulation of fiscal policy. It is achieved by optimizing the amount of nationwide taxes and their tax rates, with the least amount of tax evasion. It is also important to ensure the implementation of the budget process, which is based on budget planning and forecasting, the effectiveness criterion of which is the reliability of the forecast. The compulsory component of extrapolation of time series – the most used forecasting method – is the scenario approach, so the research of possibilities of its implementation is relevant.
Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to introduce a scenario approach in forecasting tax revenues of the state budget of Ukraine. The main tasks set to achieve this aim are: modeling the dependence of tax revenues on macroeconomic indicators; trend analysis and extrapolation of time series of macroeconomic indicators; development of forecast scenarios of state budget revenues from state taxes.
Results. It is proved that comprehensive stimulation of the production of gross value added, especially in the sphere of material production, as a basis for economic growth, will have a positive impact on the growth of output of goods and services, as well as will provide an increase in the revenues from value added tax (VAT) and excise tax to the state budget. Provision at the state level of further growth of the minimum wage and the deployment of social programs, as well as stimulating the legalization of shadow incomes of individuals in order to stimulate incomes of the population will lead to revenue increase from the personal income tax to the state budget. Creating favorable conditions for doing business by creating a business environment free from corruption, legalizing the shadow income of legal entities in order to maximize the profit of gross profit, mixed income will lead to an increase in corporate income tax revenues and subsoil use fee to the state budget of Ukraine.
Conclusions. Over the next 5 years, aggregate tax revenues to the state budget will increase, regardless of the forecast scenario. The largest contribution to tax revenue growth can be provided by excise tax. The dynamics of the remaining taxes will also be increasing. Because the extrapolation of time series and scenario analysis are applied and universal methods of forecasting, they can be used in forecasting tax revenues of both consolidated and local budgets of Ukraine. Prospects for further research of the author will be relevant to these areas.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: Facial index is useful for anatomists, forensic scientists and plastic surgeons during treatment of congenital and traumatic deformities, identification of individuals in medico-legal cases and identifying craniofacial deformities and they help us in distinguishing one person from another. Very few researchers from Nepal have worked on these facial features with respect to population and environment. The study aims to find the prevalence of leptoprosopic type of face among dental students of Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 173 dental students of age group 17-25 years in the Department of Anatomy, Kantipur Dental College Teaching Hospital and Research Center, Basundhara, Kathmandu from September to December 2018. Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Review Committee of the institution and convenience sampling was done. The facial parameters include facial height, facial width which was measured using Digital Vernier Caliper and Sliding Caliper respectively. The face was classified into three different types based on the value of facial index, according to Bannister Classification. Data was analyzed using SPSS 20.

Results: Prevalence of leptoprosopic type of face was 70 (40.46%) [40.39-40.53 at 95%CI]. Among these, 37 (21.39%) were males and 33 (19.07%) were females. Leptoprosopic was most common which was followed by hyperleptoprosopic in 64 (36.99%), mesoprosopic in 26 (15.03%), euryprosopic in 12 (6.94%) and hypereuryprosopic facial types in 1 (0.58%). All three facial parameters including facial height, facial width and facial index were greater in male than in female.

Conclusions: This study concludes that the leptoprosopic face was most common followed by hyperleptoprosopic, mesoprosopic, europrosopic and hypereuroprosopic type of face.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: Cirrhosis of liver is a progressively deteriorating disease. Medical management consist of treatment and prevention of complications. Nutritional intervention to improve nutritional status of the malnourished patient has favorable impact on prognosis. Traditional measures of nutritional assessment like Body Mass Index and waist circumference are inaccurate. This study was conducted to study the prevalence of malnutrition in cirrhotic patients.

Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at National Academy of Medical Sciences, Bir Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal. The study included 60 cirrhotic patients from outpatient department. Subjective Global Assessment was performed for all participants and level of malnutrition recorded. Height, weight, waist circumference, body mass index were measured and recorded.

Results: Among the cirrhotic patients, malnutrition was detected in 46 (76.66%) [68.38 to 85.94 at Confidence Interval 95%]. Out of 46 patients who were malnourished, 20 (43.47%) had mild to moderate malnutrition whereas 26 (56.53%) had severe malnutrition. The most common cause of cirrhosis was alcohol. The mean body mass index and mean waist circumference were within normal limits.

Conclusions: Malnutrition is very common among cirrhotic patients and its prevalence increased from Child A to Child C status.

Authors: Silwal Kalpana , Joshi Sarala
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Verbal abuse against nurses who are major working force can affect the work performance and productivity in hospital.  Verbal abuse is epidemic in tertiary care hospitals though it is most preventable with healthcare professions. The study aims to identify the prevalence of verbal abuse among nurses in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses in two tertiary care hospitals in Chitwan using self-administered questionnaire from August-December, 2018. The researcher used the convenient sampling technique and total 331 nurses were taken for the study.

Results: Prevalence of verbal abuse was found to be 122 (36.9 %) [34.25%-39.55% at 95% CI]  among nurses.  Perpetrators of the verbal abuse were  relatives of the patients 64 (48.9%) followed by staff  member 29 ( 23.77%),  patient 23 (17.6%), management  or supervisor 4 (3.1%) and from colleague 2  (1.5%). Frequency of verbal abuse as sometimes, once and all the times were 95 (77.86%), 20 (16.03%) and 7 (5.7 %) respectively. Study showed that verbal abuse was mostly done by relatives of the patient. Consequence of verbal abuse was disturbing memories, thoughts or an image ultimately reducing the job satisfaction.  No any action was taken except verbal warning for 20 (58.8%) perpetrators.

Conclusions: Verbal abuse is frequently prevalent in nurses and mostly from patient’s visitors. Hence, nurses should maintain their respect and authority otherwise it will lead to decrease in their performance that shows direct impact on patient care and consequently the effectiveness of the health care system.

Published: November 2019

Perinatal asphyxia is one of the major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. It mainly causes neurodevelopmental delay leading to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. We present here the case of a preterm male baby of 1670 grams born at 31+3 weeks of gestation delivered by 25-year-old primi mother through vaginal delivery with history of umbilical cord prolapse. At birth, the baby had no heart rate and cyanosed following which he was resuscitated according to the Neonatal Advanced Life Support 2015 guidelines protocol.  After 5 minutes of neonatal resuscitation, the baby’s heart rate reappeared, but was only upto 20 beats/min and resuscitation thus continued. But heart rate did not improve despite of using all form of resuscitation procedure including intubation and drugs. After 2 hours, baby cried spontaneously and later baby was managed in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit according to the neonatal unit protocol of the hospital.
Estimation of noise pollution of Irkutsk by automobile transport
Authors: Novikova S. A.
Published: November 2019

The work is devoted to estimation noise pollution generated by vehicles on the main and secondary highways in the city of Irkutsk. For this purpose, video surveillance of traffic composition and intensity was carried out at night and daylight hours. By sound level meter Testo-816 the measures of noise levels were conducted. Using the Ecolog-noise software complex, the noise propagation distance from the sources was modeled and the sound pressure level maps were created. The obtained results were compared with the current standards for permissible noise loads. An illustrative graph of the average daily noise level distribution shows that in Irkutsk there are two maxima (morning and evening) on all motorways. At the same time, night and day acoustic standards, set as maximum for both Russia and some European Union countries, are significantly violated. A possible set of recommendations is proposed to improve the existing urban transport system in order to reduce excessive noise and ensure the acoustic well-being of the population of residential areas adjacent to highways.
Renewal of small cities in European Russia (case study of Borovichi, Vyksa, Rostov)
Authors: Gunko M. S. , Pivovar G. A. , Averkieva K. V.
Published: November 2019

The current study is aimed at the analysis of local development with a focus on the renewal processes in small cities of European Russia. Renewal refers to the introduction of positive changes trough re-opening and re-imagining existing urban areas. Due to the lack of adequate statistical data, we access renewal using a qualitative approach, through the analysis of the material form the cityscape, which is not only an indicator of the socio-economic situation in the city but also helps to understand the distribution of power relations within it. Empirical data were obtained in three small single-industry towns located remote from major centres Borovichi (Novgorod oblast), Vyksa (Nizhny Novgorod oblast), Rostov (Yaroslavl oblast). The results of the study suggest that the zone of transformation, successful emergence of the new and change of the old in small cities, is each time unique. Transformation occurs since cities are in search of their own way out of the structural crisis, struggling not only to provide the economic minimum but also to change the cityscape and everyday life. The main actors of this process are private from large to small business, as well as the local communities. While the role of the local administration due to the lack of resources is, most often, restricted to creating a functioning communication platform to address the interests of the main actors.
Modern changes of nutrients’ removal into the southern forest zone rivers of Volga basin
Authors: Dolgov S. V. , Koronkevich N. I.
Published: November 2019

The article analyzes on the example of the Linda river basin, the tributary of the Cheboksary reservoir, contribution of the main elements of its vertical hydrological structure (precipitation, surface and underground runoff, verhovodka runoff) in the formation of nutrients removal from rivers catchments in the southern forest zone of the Russian plain. The removal of nutrients from the Linda river catchment area with various elements of water flow for the year, its high-water and low-water periods was calculated. It is shown that due to the increased role of the changed hydro-climatic conditions, especially due to the increased flow of infiltration origin (underground and verhovodka runoff), the nutrients removal has increased in recent years. Anthropogenic component of nutrient leaching into the Cheboksary reservoir from Linda river catchment was identified. It is reduced in recent decades by the background dispersion in the catchment, diffuse nutrients leaching to surface and underground flow of natural origin.
Influence of climate on radial growth of scots pine (Pinus Sylvestris L.) In different habitats of Meshchera lowland
Authors: Zheleznova O. S. , Tobratov S. A.
Published: November 2019

This paper is devoted to the patterns of radial growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in various topoecological conditions of the Meshchera lowland (Ryazan region, the East European plain). The generalized tree-ring chronologies are constructed for 16 habitats differing in features of a relief of a day surface and a bedrock surface. Despite the relatively low-contrast relief of Meshchera, the average radial pine increment within the study area differs by 2.5 times (1.53.9 mm per year). The correlation and cluster analyses revealed that the key factor influencing the width of annual tree rings of pine is the amount of the available soil moisture. Its surplus (in wetlands) and deficiency (in conditions of sandy outliers) negatively affects the radial pine increment. It is established that in the waterlogged habitats positive correlation of the radial pine increment with temperature and negative with precipitation of autumn of the previous year is observed. The positive correlation of the radial increment with precipitation of autumn, May and with winter temperature is typical for a pine from arid habitats. The negative relationship between the pines growth and amount of precipitation and river discharge may occur with a lag of 14 years in conditions of wetlands. The positive relationship of the radial pine increment with the integral parameters of the current years moisture is more significant in conditions of relatively high hydrodynamics (for example, in conditions of sandy outliers).

Analysis of prolonged image time series (19542018) has resulted in the reconstruction of natural landscape pattern in study area, mapping the expansion of waste deposit area under the period of active exploitation, delineation of five historic-functional zones of the dumping site. These zones are featured with different age and type of technogenic transformations in landscape structure, particular levels of heavy metals content and their distribution in soils and vegetation. Studies of spatial pattern and long-term (20002017) changes in contamination of soils and technogenic surface formations with heavy metals revealed that the maximum level of soil and vegetation pollution with heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn, Cu, Sb) is fixed for the zone of excavation, mixing and secondary burying of industrial wastes in 2000s. Increased concentrations of Sb and Zn still persist in surface soil layers of chernozems outside the territory of abandoned dumping site.

Dengan ada nya diskresi, pelayanan publik bisa terpenuhi dan dilakukan dengan maksimal. Pelaksanaan Diskresi membuat pelaksanaan wewenang pejabat publik menjadi ringan, dengan adanya diskresi pejabat yang tidak mempunyai wewenang terhadap suatu permasalahan dapat dilipahi wewenang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normative. Pejabat Negara yang melakukan atau menjalakan kewenangan diskresi tidak akan dipidanakan, karena wewenangan tersebut tidak lain untuk kepentingan public. Dengan adanya diskresi diharapkan pejabat publik dapat berkontribusi dalam pembangunan Negara. Pemerintah sekarang lebih sering ikut campur dalam masyarakat untuk tercapai nya suatu kesejahteraan masyarakat. Dapat dicontohkan kemacetan yang berada di Jakarta, dengan ada nya suatu wewenang diskresi setidaknya polisi dapat merekayasa lalu lintas untuk mengurangi kemacetan yang ada. Tetapi menjalankan diskresi tidak semua pejabat publik mengerti peraturan yang mengaturnya. Pejabat publik takut akan mempertanggung jawabkan wewenang diskresi tersebut di kemudian hari. Sebenarnya Penggunaan diskresi itu sendiri sangat diperlukan oleh badan badan hokum atau pejabat publik karena dengan adanya diskresi pejabat bisa lebih cepat dalam menyelesaikan suatu masalah yang dimana pejabat publik tidak memiliki kemampuan atau kewanangan yang sesuai maka pejabat publik dapat melakukan diskresi untuk memberikan keputusan atau tindakan tanpa terikat suatu perundang-undangan.

Kewajiban memberikan perlindungan hukum kepada guru dalam melaksanakan tugas profesionalnya, terutama diletakkan pada pemerintah, baik pemerintah pusat maupun pemerintah daerah. Kewajiban itu dimulai dengan menyediakan regulasi peraturan perundang-undangan yang mengakomodir perlindungan terhadap guru.Menyikapi hal tersebut Kota Pontianak telah meregulasi Peraturan Daerah Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Perlindungan Guru. Substansi pokok di dalam Perda tersebut telah mengakomodir perlindungan terhadap guru melalui amanah pentingnya pembentukan Unit Pelayanan Hukum dan Perlindungan Guru (UPHPG) yang dapat dijadikan wadah menyelesaikan permasalahan garu dalam menjalankan tugas profesinya guna terwujudnya keadilan. Mendasari hal tersebut,  permasalahannya apa urgensinya pembentukan UPHPG tersebut dan bagaimana mengimplementasikan kelembagaan UPHPG tersebut. Melalui metode yuridis-sosiologis  dengan pendekatan kualitatif terungkap hasil penelitian bahwa urgensi pembentukan UPHPG dilandasi fakta sosiologis bahwa belum adanya mekanisme penanganan dan penyelesaian permasalahan guru dalam menjalankan tugas profesinya serta landasan filosofis pentingnya mewujudkan nilai keadian maka UPHPG yang telah diamanatkan dalam Perda Kota Pontianak Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Perlindungan Guru penting untuk segera diwujudkan pembentukannya melalui Peraturan Walikota dengan melibatkan berbagai pihak yang berkepentingan.

Sekalipun telah melampaui rezim psudo-demokrasi dibawah kepemimpinan Soeharto selama 32 tahun, sepertinya Indonesia belum juga menemukan formula yang tepat untuk mengakomodir nilai demokrasi yakni kedaulatan rakyat. Masalah yang hendak dibahas dan dianalisa pada penelitian ini adalah bagaimana penerapan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Pasal 372 mengenai Pemungutan Suara Ulang (PSU) serta menganalisis problematika sosial yang muncul dalam penerapannya. Metode penelitian hukum yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian normatif-empiris dengan kategori penelitian live case study. Kategori penelitian ini menganalisa peristiwa hukum yang prosesnya masih berlangsung. Adapun yang dijadikan sumber penelitian berupa ketentuan hukum normatif  yakni Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Pasal 372 serta aturan teknis yang dibuat berkenaan dengan norma tersebut. Dari hasil analisis pelaksanaan peraturan yang dibuat ditemukan berbagai permasalahan sosial yang tidak dapat dihindarkan. PSU menimbulkan problematika baru bagi pemilih, penyelenggara pemilu, serta peserta pemilu. Problematika Pemungutan Suara Ulang berupa angka partisipasi turun, potensi tekanan kecemasan dalam lingkup masyarakat karena perhatian yang berlebihan dari aparat maupun kandidat hingga adanya distorsi preferensi pilihan. Oleh karena problematika tersebut, diharapkan pertimbangan yang paling bijak agar PSU yang terjadi menjadi solusi yang paling tepat namun tetap dapat meminimalisir secara optimal adanya permasalahan sosial dimasyarakat yang mungkin timbul.

Authors: Amin Makbruri , Saleh Irsan , Hidayat Rachmat
Published: November 2019

Abstract

Introduction: Anticancer drugs are aimed primarily at inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Srikaya leaves (Annona squamosa L.) had been proven to possess various therapeutic effects and potential to be developed as anticancer drugs due to its cytotoxic activity.

Aim of study: This study aimed to assess the anticancer activity of srikaya leaves (Annona squamosa L.) fraction.

Methods: Methanol fraction of srikaya leaves were obtained at concentrations of 500; 250; 125; 62.5; 31.25 Âµg/ml. Srikaya methanol fraction and cisplatin as control were given to a plate that was sealed with T47D cells for MTT assay. Identification of compounds in the methanol fraction of srikaya leaves was performed with thin layer chromatography (TLC). Data were collected in the form of absorbance value and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value was determined â€‹â€‹by linear regression. Data analysis was carried out with paired T test, unpaired T test, and ANOVA.

Results: Average percentage of T47D cells viability increased with the decrease in the concentration of srikaya methanol fraction. Obtained IC50 value was 174.25 Âµg/ml which was quite active and potential to be developed as an anticancer drug. Methanol fraction of srikaya leaves contained secondary terpenoid metabolites, steroids, phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and tannins. Flavonoid was the dominant metabolites in phytochemical tests and believed to play a major role in cytotoxic activity of srikaya leaves.

Conclusion: Methanol fraction of srikaya leaves possessed the cytotoxic effect on T47D cancer cell line through the role of flavonoid metabolites.

Authors: Sumaratih Luki , Soedono Rudyanto , Aditianingsih Dita
Published: November 2019

Background

The effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on hemodynamic data of the patients is still unknown. This was a pilot study to evaluate the effect of HFNC and conventional oxygen therapy (COT) on post-upper abdominal surgery.

 

Methods

This was an open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) at tertiary hospital between February-June 2019. Inclusion criteria were ASA III, aged 18-65 years, BMI 18,5-29 kg/m2. Exclusion criteria were patients with unstable hemodynamic with vasopressors, general oedema, and uncooperative. Thirty patients were recruited and divided into HFNC group (n=15) and COT group (n=15). Hemodynamic parameters were recorded using the bedside monitor (heart rate, respiratory rate, and mean arterial pressure) as well as the electrical cardiometry using ICONÂ® measurements (stroke volume index, cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance index); laboratory parameters were ScVO2 and lactate serum. Data were collected at 0, 30 and 60 minutes post-extubation.

Results

The General Linear Model (GLM) tests on clinical parameters (HR, RR and MAP) were P= 0.20; P=0.72; P = 0.18, ICONÂ® parameters (SVI, CI and SVRI) were P= 0.02;P =0.64; P =0.64 meanwhile ScVO2 and lactate were P = 0.35 and P = 0.22. Despite those results, at some period of measurements there were a tendency of a better outcomes of most parameters for the HFNC group.

Conclusion

According to the results, the only statistically significant outcome was SVI        (P =0.02) after the analysis between those two groups. However, the HFNC group showed a clinically improvement of the other outcomes among post-upper abdominal surgery patients.

Objective of the work:assessment and analysis of the risk to the health of the population of Novokuznetsk from the eﬀects of atmospheric emissions from stationary sources of rail transport.

Research methods:the volume of the maximum permissible emissions of the structural units of the OJSC “Russian Railways” in the city of Novokuznetsk was analyzed. The calculation of the maximum and average annual concentrations of toxic substances from each source for selected exposure points was made according to the “Methods for calculating the dispersion of emissions of harmful (polluting) substances into the atmospheric air” using the “ECO Center Standard” program. Health risks were calculated in accordance with the “Guidelines for the assessment of the public health risk when exposed to chemicals polluting the environment: “G 2.1.10.1920-04” and methodology A. P. Scherbo “Environment and health: approaches to risk assessment” were compared with acceptable values.

Main results of the study:priority pollutants entering to the city’s atmosphere from stationary sources of OJSC “Russian Railways” and determining the risk of chronic intoxication are dioxide ferric, nitrogen dioxide, carbon oxide, hydroﬂuoride, sulfur dioxide. Soot as a carcinogen is not dangerous for public health. The highest total risk of chronic intoxication is observed in the area of the railway station. The greatest contribution to the formation of the risk of chronic intoxication is made by emissions from the sources of the wagon repair depot. The levels of immediate risks from exposure to all selected pollutants are zero. Determining of the levels of health risks taking into account the background concentrations of toxic substances revealed that the highest levels of immediate risks at all design points are observed from the inﬂuence of carbon oxide. The proposed activities aimed at reducing risk levels.

Conclusion:stationary sources of the structural units of Russian Railways in Novokuznetsk contribute to air pollution in the city without having a signiﬁcant impact on the health of the population.
About generalized criteria of indexes of assessment
Authors: Artukhin V. V. , Chiasnavichius Yu. K.
Published: November 2019

In this work authors offers the list of the generalized requirements (or criteria) for indexes of assessment. Requirements can be applied during the development and the analysis of assessment indexes for programs and projects of evolution and performance of the Russian Federation regardless of exact subject domain. Based on authors experience in the field of various assessment techniques development, compliance to the listed requirements allows to improve interpretability of assessment indexes which, in turn, increases also their usefulness. Besides, in particular circumstances the concept of "quality of an index of assessment" can be expressed through the fact of compliance to the offered requirements (for example, direct calculation of requirements to which the index conforms) that can be the useful, for example, when choosing one "best" index of assessment from several alternatives. The offered list of requirements, certainly, isn't single valid one, and article pursues rather the purpose to open a topic for discussion, than to answer the question posed exhaustively.
