Published: December 2022

Literary research is devoted to analyzing of literature sources on the practical application of stem cells for the treatment of trophic ulcers of venous origin. The most essential and promising source of stem cells is umbilical cord blood. The treatment of trophic ulcers of venous etiology is still debatable. Currently, none of the known methods to treat varicose veins or eliminate pathological reflux are universal. However, the issue of parallel treatment of trophic ulcers caused by varicose veins is acute. In addition, the removal of altered magistral veins does not always lead to the simultaneous disappearance of ulcers on the skin. Today the primary treatment method for this pathology is surgery, which was introduced in the 19th century. Since then, it has not changed dramatically: high ligation and stripping of large and small veins, followed by their removal. However, surgery sometimes leads to recurrence, as it is not etiological. Stem cells are already used quite successfully as the main method of treatment for chronic ischemia of the lower extremities. Intramuscular injection of bone marrow mononuclear cells into the ischemic limb is considered to help to reduce both pain and the risk of high amputations by 19%. The use of in vitro fibroblasts, a multilayer layer of keratinocytes, a skin equivalent, is a very successful and promising analog of autodermoplasty. The use of stem cells allows healing in 99.1% of patients after 16.2 days, with a recurrence of 1.25%. Mesenchymal stem cells were administered intradermally to treat radiation ulcers, stimulated the healing process, reduced pain, inflammation, which could be confirmed by a decrease in the level of C-reactive protein in the blood. After the introduction of mesenchymal stem cells perifocal and into the bottom of the wound, after 2 weeks, in more than 60% of cases, there was active growth of granulations and maturation of granulation tissue. The area of the wound defect was also significantly reduced, and the efficiency of skin autograft survival was significantly increased.Our study of sources of scientific literature on the problem of stem cell research in general and the introduction into therapeutic practice of therapy of trophic ulcers with cord blood stem cells indicates a considerable interest of scientists in this topic. This is evidenced by a large number of publications on the problem of studying the properties of stem cells. However, it is necessary to note the striking qualitative and quantitative difference between our analyzed domestic and foreign sources of scientific literature in favor of describing foreign research. We consider it appropriate to point out the insufficient number of related qualitative scientific studies on the treatment of trophic ulcers by domestic scientists.

Aim of the study. To investigate the features of the clinical course of chronic pancreatitis in comorbidity with ischemic heart disease.Research methods. We used a survey, anamnesis, objective examination, biochemical, radioimmune (indicators of insulin in the blood), instrumental (sonographic, ECG), statistical (computer analysis of data). The criteria for inclusion in chronic pancreatitis were exacerbations, abdominal pain and dyspeptic syndrome, sonographic changes in the pancreas, risk factors, patient consent for the study. The criteria for inclusion in ischemic heart disease were stable exertional angina FC I-II, CHF IIA-B, FC II-III (NYHA) in the absence of angina attacks within 3 months; regular treatment for 3 months, patient's consent. The exclusion criteria included oncological diseases, acute exacerbations of CP, myocardial infarction in the last 3 months, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. The study was carried out in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No.281 dated 1.11.2000. The study guidance and informed consent form were approved by the Commission on Biomedical Ethics of Bukovina State Medical University.Results. The aggravating nature of the course of the disease, the polymorphism of clinical symptoms, especially the pain syndrome, which did not always have a clear localization, irradiation, intensity and was absent in about 15%, was established. The atypical course in 83.3% of cases was associated with diseases of the digestive system. In 70.0% of patients, atherosclerotic changes in the vessels of the abdominal cavity were revealed, in 47.5% of them, lesions of the carotid artery at the stage of atheromatous plaque or its atherothrombosis, stenosis of the vascular lumen and hemodynamic disturbances were diagnosed. There was a tendency to a decrease in the ejection fraction, cardiac and stroke volumes against the background of an increase in the end systolic volume (ESV), end diastolic volume (EDV) with an EF of 50.4 ± 2.3%.Conclusion. The clinical course of chronic pancreatitis in comorbidity with ischemic heart disease is characterized by prolonged formation (more than 10 years), accompanied by structural and morphological changes in the pancreas of a fibrosing nature, the presence of atherosclerotic changes in the carotid arteries, atherosclerotic lesions of the aorta, mesenteric dysfunction, diastolic course, the possibility of premature fatal cardiovascular problems and the association with concomitant gastroenterological diseases.

Published: December 2022

Modern methods of treatment and prevention of infectious diseases require the administration of antibiotics and antiseptics. Excessive and uncontrolled use leads to the selection of antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms, which dictates the need to find new alternative antimicrobial drugs. We searched for and studied the antimicrobial activity of new dimethylhydrazones. The compounds we studied showed significant antimicrobial activity, especially against gram-positive bacteria, S.aureus ATCC 25923 and lower antimicrobial activity against gramnegative bacteria, indicating the viability of these compounds and the need for more in-depth study of its antimicrobial activity on a wide range of microorganisms.

Published: December 2022

The Omicron strain was first registered by WHO in South Africa on November 24, 2021. As of early 2022, cases of Omicron had been registered in more than 60 countries and regions. The Omicron is currently the world's dominant strain of SAR-CoV-2 with a propensity to spread rapidly. Although diseases caused by Omicron are predominantly asymptomatic and mild, rapid growth or morbidity may seriously overwhelm the global health system. In addition to the above, its sources of mutations, the nature of infection transmission and its resistance to vaccines have not been fully studied yet. This insufficient knowledge leads to obstacles in the fight against a pathogen in different regions of the world. This article analyzes the results of the research on the characteristics of the pathogen, its variability, transmission characteristics and possible implementation mechanisms, epidemic status, prevention and other anti-epidemic measures to develop against the strain of SARCoV-2.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Authors: Smaliukh O.V.
Published: December 2022

The pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome is based on the processes of atherosclerosis of coronary arteries and atherothrombosis, accompanied by the destruction of non-stable atherosclerotic plaque coating and, in the future, by thrombosis. Myocardial ischemia initiates local and systemic inflammatory responses with the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which trigger a cascade of reactions, contributing to the more profound damage to cardiomyocytes. That is why it is extremely important to determine the activity of proinflammatory cytokines in patients with acute coronary syndrome.The aim of the work. To investigate the indices of pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute coronary syndrome.Materials and Methods. 33 patients with acute coronary syndrome, namely with unstable angina pectoris, who underwent inpatient treatment in the cardiology department of the Lviv hospital for emergency medicine, were examined. The patients were 12 (36%) males and 21 (64%) females, with an average age of 68.5±2 years. The patients received treatment according to modern protocols for medical care for patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation and recommendations of the European Heart Association. The control group consisted of 20 practically healthy individuals of the same age and status. The patients were subjected to general clinical and instrumental examination methods, proinflammatory interleukins in serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (on admission for hospital treatment).Results of the research. It was found that in patients with acute coronary syndrome, pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-17, tumor necrosis factor-alpha) exceed the values of almost healthy individuals by almost 2 times (p˂0.01).Conclusion. In patients with acute coronary syndrome, there is a significant (p˂0.01) increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, which indicates the direct involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of the pathological process and requires appropriate correction of treatment tactics.

Objective. To study the content of reduced glutathione (GSH), activities of glutathione peroxidase (GP) and glutathione-S-transferase enzymes (GST) in blood and liver of rats exposed to subacute alcohol intoxication, its combination with caffeine intake or constant light exposure, and the possibility of their correction with melatonin.Materials and methods. Experiments were performed on 42 male rats weighing 180-200 g kept under standard conditions of the vivarium and artificial equinox. Alcohol intoxication was induced by intragastric administration 40 % ethanol at a dose of 7 ml/kg of body weight for 7 days. Caffeine was administered by gavage at a dose of 30 mg/kg of body weight.Results. Ethanol poisoning and its combination with caffeine intake or exposure to constant light resulted in a decrease in GSH level and GP activity in RBCs and liver, besides the combination of ethanol+light resulted in more pronounced depletion of the parameters. The combination of ethanol with caffeine resulted in less reduction of GSH level in the blood (by 25%) but more depletion of GSH in the liver (by 45% vs. control) than in ethanol-treated rats. There was an elevation of GST activity in the liver of all groups of alcoholized animals. Administration of 5 mg/kg melatonin for 7 days limited depletion in GSH and prevented the changes in GP and GST activities in the blood and liver of all groups of animals.Conclusions. Melatonin administration prevented ethanol-induced toxicity in rats exposed to ethanol and its combination with caffeine or constant light for 7 days by limiting the depletion in GSH and preventing the changes in GP and GST activities in the blood and liver of all groups of animals.

Published: December 2022

The implementation of the independent curriculum in high schools after the Covid-19 pandemic has become a challenge for teachers and education implementers because the demands of 21st century education must fulfill the 4C skills, one of which is critical thinking for male and female students. This research is a descriptive quantitative research, with a one group control posttest only research design, to analyze students' critical thinking skills in chemistry learning with an independent curriculum when viewed from gender differences. The population in this study is students senior high school in Jakarta, and the samples used in this study were 58 students consisting of 34 male students and 22 female students who were taken by random technique. Instrument test in this study was multiple choice questions consisting of 15 questions, which consisted of 3 sections according to Bloom's taxonomy, namely questions number 1-5 on C4, numbers 6-10 on C5 and numbers 11-15 on C6. The test instrument used is valid through the revision results according to the expert validator's input. The instruments used to obtain information regarding critical thinking skills were analyzed descriptively and the average male score was 56.67 (N=34), while for female it was 57.27 (N=22). Based on these data, the difference in critical thinking ability when viewed from gender differences is only 0.60 on a scale of 100 (Sig. <0.05). Furthermore, further test results show that there are differences in the critical thinking abilities of male and female students when learning chemistry in the independent curriculum.
See Me Play! Self-portraiture in Pseudo-museums as Immersive Playscapes for Adults
Authors: Heljakka Katriina
Published: December 2022

This article analyzes and deconstructs interactive and immersive ‘pseudo-museum’ environments, which seem to be all about making the self-documenting player the main exhibit, or spectacle. The research material collected through a visual autoethnographic approach consists of photoplays and videos evidencing the author’s visits and adult play in four museums dedicated to selfies during pre-pandemic times (2019-2020), namely the Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco and New York, Happy Place and The Selfie Museum in Las Vegas. Findings of the autoethnography demonstrate that the play experience based on selfie-taking is both a solitary and social form of play, and to some degree dictated and directed by the exteriors, interiors, rules of engagement and the hosts assisting. Finally, it is argued that self-portraiture in the ‘pseudo-museum’ context is about the creation of ‘playfies’, and making a toy out of oneself.
Playing With Fake News: State Of Fake News Video Games
Authors: DeJong Scott
Published: December 2022

Employed almost synonymously with disinformation and misinformation, fake news refers to the increasing discourse of misconfigured news and information being shared online which has prompted global concern. Calls for digital literacy have come from researchers, governments, and public interest groups who developing an array of resources for the public. Games are one intervention. This article explores what it refers to as ‘fake news games’. Not focusing on a specific game genre, it considers video games that discuss or present fake news as central to their play or design. This paper evaluates how fake news is being presented in games and asks how the concept understood across these games. By analyzing the content, skills, and goals in these games, it situates fake news alongside digital literacy skills to see how the term is being re-framed by the medium of games. Twenty-two games were studied from a larger sample collected in late 2020. Through play analysis of twenty-two fake news video games collected in 2020 this paper provides an overview of game’s that discuss fake news. Games were play-tested and recorded to see the range of content, skills and central themes that were invoked in these games. These led to findings discussing the design, core premise, and general discourse around fake news that was promoted through play. The findings in this article offer value for future directions of discussion and game design focused on fake news. By pointing to gaps and differences in games in the field, this article offers potential information for designers while also highlighting how fake news is re-framed by these games. It emphasizes which points of interest around fake news are commonly being brought up, and points to future design and implementation considerations for scholars and designers.
VOLYN ORTHODOX MONASTICISM AS A SOURCE OF REPLENISHMENT OF THE NEO-UNION CLERGY
Authors: Fedchuk Alexander
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the little-studied problem of conversion among the Volyn Orthodox monastics, who became clergy of the Neo-Union Church in the 1920s and 1930s. The Volyn Voivodeship became the region of the most significant spread of Neo-Union (Union of the Eastern Rite) in Poland, which was the embodiment of the new Vatican project of joining the church of the eastern lands. Its basis was the preservation of the Orthodox liturgical rite under the jurisdiction of the Vatican. At the initial stage of the development of the Neo-Union in Volyn, its organizers relied onthe so-called "flights," as the people called clergymen, who changed the Orthodox faith to the Uniate faith. Special hopes were placed on monasticism, which was seen as a kind of vanguard of neo-Union in Poland. In the spring of 1926, the Catholic bishop of Lutsk, Adolf Shelonzek, planned to form a monastery of the Eastern rite in the village of Zahoriv Horokhiv district. However, as it turned out, there were quite a few representatives of monasticism in Volyn who dared to take the path of conversion. They were enough only to serve a few parishes and were not enough to open at least one monastic center in the voivodeship. Our research collected biographical data about these persons, among whom the inhabitants of the Miletsky Monastery and the monks of the Pochaiv Lavra predominated. The reasons for the apostasy of the "flights," which were caused by conflicts with the Orthodox spiritual authorities, removal from church service for immoral behavior, and material benefit, were traced. Special attention was paid to the activity of "flights" in the new denomination because almost every one of them changed several parishes in Volyn. The article shows the tragic fate of these clergymen, some of whom became victims of Ukrainian-Polish confrontations during the Second World War or Soviet post-war repressions.
FEATURES OF THE FINANCIAL AND MATERIAL POSITION OF THE TERNOPIL INSTITUTE OF TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS IMPROVEMENT 1945-1950

The article is devoted to analyzing the peculiarities of the change in the financial situation of the Ternopil Institute for the Improvement of Teacher Qualifications (hereinafter - TIITQ), the provision of advanced training courses with a material base, premises, and salaries during the period under study. Changes in the staff composition of the institute's employees, the reasons for combining positions, the peculiarities of taxation of methodologists, etc., are monitored here. Archival materials have preserved documents on the estimated financing of TIITQ with an indication of each expense item. The outlined research problems are in demand in studying the place and role of postgraduate education institutes in the Ukrainian SSR using the example of the Ternopil institution of this type and its financial component. The institution's foundation of postgraduate education became the basis of its long-term functioning. Good fundraising can be traced from 1945 to the beginning of the 1950s, dictated by the functions assigned to it: control and severe political and ideological agitation of the educational environment. However, there is evidence of abuse of office. The opinion is substantiated that the recorded facts indicated the lack of reaction of the authorities and contradicted them for various reasons, such as inadequate material support and personnel shortage. In the article, we pay special attention to the payment of lectures, travel expenses, and purchasing ideological books, posters, and other party products. Additional finances are traced through separately paid lectures at regional bush meetings, methodical developments, detachments, etc. A system of controlled purchase of bonds in the amount of a monthly salary, additional separate financing of mass events. Adequate funding increased yearly, which was recorded in cash books, accounting reports of TIITQ, etc.
ARCHITECTURE OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF UZHHOROD 1919 – 1938 AND THE CONCEPT OF THE WELFARE STATE IN THE CZECHOSLOVAK REPUBLIC
Authors: Degtyaryova Lina
Published: December 2022

The article deatl with a comprehensive study of educational institutions built in Uzhhorod during 1919 – 1938. Based on archival sources and literature, the author forms a representation of the qualities of new educational buildings, features of architectural styles, principles of construction of educational institutions of the modernist era in the Czechoslovak Republic, and details of the planning of objects on the example of Uzhhorod, as well as in some cases – characteristic teaching approaches. School buildings are built according to new standards, which is caused by the emergence of a new movement in European architecture – modernism. However, the peculiarities of this architecture are not limited to issues of aesthetics and technology, because new buildings are built according to new standards in matters of hygiene, comfort and energy saving. The architecture of the interwar period is perceived and analyzed in the article as a tool of the state policy of the republic in the development of one of the most important social spheres – education. The article emphasizes the opening of new educational institutions for the city, such as a Roma school, a vocational school, a school for women's professions, and a building of a gymnasium of the Jewish community of Uzhhorod. The author conducts an analysis of the development, reformatting and renewal of already existing institutions for which new buildings were planned or built: secondary schools, midwifery school, school of the Jewish community and others. Education is becoming mandatory, the situation regarding the language of instruction is improving significantly, most vocational education institutions are free or almost free for students. According to the author, the opening of vocational schools in Uzhhorod as a new form of education became an important factor in solving the problem of unemployment and demonstrated the foresight of the Czechoslovak government's approaches to solving social and economic issues. Most of the planned objects of educational institutions in the interwar period in Uzhhorod were not implemented due to the economic crisis and the consequences of the First Vienna Award. However, the plans of the government of the republic in the matter of educational institutions in Uzhhorod demonstrate the scale of approaches in solving the issues of creation and development of the educational sphere as an integral component of the formation of the welfare state.
SAMBIR VOLOST AND SAMBIR DISTRICT: RECONSTRUCTION OF BORDERS (END OF 14TH – 16TH CENTURIES)
Authors: Smereka Bohdan
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the history of one of the districts of the Przemyśl land of the Ruthenian voivodeship, with its center in Sambir (now Staryi Sambir), formed based on the Sambir volost as part of the Galicia-Volyn state. The reconstruction of the borders of this administrative unit was carried out by several Ukrainian and Polish historians, who used various sources. However, they did not adequately consider those individual settlements were subordinated to different district centers at different times, due to which selective sections of the district border were fluid. Guided by acts (royal grants, foundation privileges) and descriptive-statistical documents (tax registers, lustrations), as well as previous border reconstructions, we made our attempt to reproduce the boundaries of the Sambir volost (1375 – 1434) and the district (until the end of the 16th century), taking into account the variability of these borders. For the years 1375 – 1434, 21 documents were selected, in which 27 settlements of the Sambir volost are mentioned. Their subordination remained unchanged in the following centuries. However, we cannot say that the Sambir district and the eponymous volost were identical, not only because of border fluctuations but also because of the loss of some territories (the Ternowo Pole). As a result of the rapid colonization of the mountainous part of the district in the 16th century, the number of settlements in it more than doubled (from 88 to 210). The mountainous areas of the neighboring Sanok land and Stryi district were also actively settled. Mutual border colonization made it possible to fix the western and southeastern borders of the Sambir district by the end of the century. Its eastern border (with the Drohobych district) has remained unchanged since the existence of volosts. On the other hand, in the north (with the Przemyśl land), the boundaries were fluid due to the frequent change of jurisdiction of the local nobility between the Przemyśl and Sambir courts.
THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM WORK IN TRANSCARPATHIA OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Authors: Kuzma Victoria
Published: December 2022

The article analysed the historiographical heritage of the history of museum work in Transcarpathia in the 20th century. The historical conditions of the creation and formation of the museums of Transcarpathia have been highlighted, and the museum's role as a public institution for the preservation and study of the region's cultural heritage has been revealed. The main stages of the research of the Transcarpathian Museum of the 20th century are highlighted according to the chronological principle of the pre-Soviet period (the 1920s and 1930s), the Soviet period (1945 – 1980s), and the modern Ukrainian period (since 1991). It's worth noting that the process of the historical development of museum construction in Transcarpathia is provided with sources of primary information unevenly, both quantitatively and substantively. Thus, the evidence regarding the stage of origin and formation of regional museum education is extremely limited. Only in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, when the territory of Transcarpathia was part of the Czechoslovak Republic, the public increasingly began to show increased attention to national traditions, history, culture, and art. The first attempts to create a museum were made by public associations – T. Legotsky Museum Society (1919), Prosvita Society (1920), Regional Museum Society (1929), Society "Russian National Museum" (1930), Ethnographic Society of Subcarpathian Rus (1939). There were scientists, public figures, local historians, and members of cultural and educational societies who left their memories and dedicated their research to the museum work. However, these studies were mainly devoted to separate museums. After the establishment of Soviet power in the region, the network of museum institutions was constantly growing, as proved by the great scientific interest in this problem. In addition to descriptive works, generalizing ones also appear. The burst of interest in the problem occurred in the 1990s when Ukrainian historians got rid of the ideological limitations of Soviet historiography. The number of scientific studies in various contexts of the museum work is also increasing among Transcarpathian scientists. However, today it is possible to state the absence of a comprehensive scientific work that would consider the preconditions, stages of formation, and the first steps of developing the museum work in Transcarpathia in the 20th century. There are also no particular historiographical works or historiographical reviews of this problem.

"In this study the antibacterial potential of ten essential oils (EOs) and their main compounds against the development and quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms of the opportunistic bacterium Serratia marcescens was determined. The growth and QS inhibitory effect was evaluated by paper disc diffusion assay. The effect of EOs and components on QS-regulated prodigiosin biosynthesis was also studied. The results of our study indicated that some of the investigated EOs influenced the development and the QS-based activity of S. marcescens. Oregano and thyme oils showed the most pronounced antibacterial effect and had the strongest anti-QS potential. From the main oil compounds the phenolics, eugenol, carvacrol and thymol, proved to be efficient growth inhibitors. While eugenol and carvacrol had also a strong negative influence on AHL-mediated QS-systems in low concentrations, thymol was not effective in QS inhibition. Keywords: essential oils, quorum-sensing, prodigiosin."

"Vasilije Mokranjac can be seen as a paradigm for an entire generation of Serbian composers who started creating at an unfavourable historical moment. In time, he moved away from his initial stylistic ideas, and, by constant transformation of his practically neoclassical style, he created a heterogeneous work. He dealt most intensely with piano music and, as a result, he contributed the most, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to this area. Keywords: Vasilije Mokranjac, piano compositions, stylistic "

College television at German higher education institutions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Voigt Charmaine
Published: December 2022

Higher education institutions (HEIs) create a range of media products. Among them are college media produced by students. Even though this heterogeneous media form exists throughout Germany and is therefore part of HEIs’ public visibility, it remains unnoticed in the field of higher education communication. This study aims to examine the specific type of college television (CTV) in terms of organizational and editorial structures and altered workflows due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study combines a two-wave online survey among all operating German CTV stations in 2017 and 2021 with a qualitative social media analysis of twelve stations. In 2017, intra-curricular CTV operations rated a higher satisfaction level than extra-curricular cases, whereby the explicit support and cooperation with the HEI scores better. The data shows that CTV operations with an intra-curricular linkage to the respective HEI enjoyed a more stable continuity than extra-curricular operations, some of which were forced to cease production over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has limited the CTV operations’ workflows in terms of access to equipment and social exchange but has also stimulated a shift in topic selection and distribution strategy.

The precarious situation of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, resulting from fixed-term contracts and the demanding working conditions of young researchers at Swiss universities, has been increasingly discussed in recent years by academic organizations, political actors, and the broader public. While discussions on various levels are intensifying, concrete measures remain largely absent, and young researchers find themselves in an environment of job insecurity and a lack of prospects. Therefore, we organized a panel discussion on why and how to create permanent positions in the Swiss academic system during this year’s annual conference of the Swiss Association of Communication and Media Research (SACM). The panel included presentations of preliminary results from a recent study analyzing the working conditions of young and emerging communication and media scholars in Switzerland as well as discussions with researchers and actors from science organizations regarding: 1) the need for improvement of the current working conditions and the future perspectives of mid-level staff at Swiss universities, 2) the responsibilities of different actors, and 3) alternatives to the status quo that help solve the precarious situation of young and emerging scholars in Switzerland and beyond. The discussion showed several reasons for establishing more permanent positions and inducing a systemic change. While there are manifold arguments for creating more permanent positions, these arguments must appeal to those with decision-making power.
Communication of higher education institutions: Historical developments and changes over the past decade

Published: December 2022

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are pivotal organizations in modern societies. Over the past decades, the higher education sector has expanded considerably in countries across the world, with many newly founded colleges and universities and rapid increases in student enrollment and research output. In addition, new public management reforms and a growing need for societal legitimation have led many HEIs to establish or enlarge their communication departments, pursue branding and reputation management, and professionalize their communication efforts across various channels. Although a growing body of literature has shed light on how HEIs engage in public relations (PR) and science communication, we know little about how their communication has developed over time and in relation to the fundamental transformations in higher education systems and the media landscape in recent years, decades, and even centuries. Most existing sketches of such historical developments have focused on one country – as is typical for histories of PR in general – and have been dedicated to the second half of the 20th century. In contrast, the early beginnings of university communication since the late 19th century and recent trends in the past decade have been little researched. This guest editorial and the contributions of this Thematic Section on Changing Communication of Higher Education Institutions address these gaps in research and together shed light on developments in different European countries, as well as in the U. S.
Sudanese Women Living with HIV/AIDS Stigma and Discrimination
Authors: Yousif Nagwa Babiker Abdalla
Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore and describe the meaning and effect of the women’s experience of HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination. The study adopted an exploratory descriptive qualitative research method. The sample is purposefully selected and consists of 10 women living with HIV who were members of people living with HIV/AIDS association in Khartoum State in 2019. Results show that all the participants were facing stigma and discrimination because they were living with HIV and AIDS. Distant relatives were the main source of stigma and discrimination followed by friends’ rest of community members. Most participants indicated that they felt they were discriminated because HIV infection is associated with ‘sexual misbehavior’. However, some of them complained that they contracted the virus from their married partners and hence they did not deserve to be stigmatized or discriminated against. Results show that there is a need for creation of awareness among community members on the transmission of HIV.
Gender-Based Violence in Kosovo during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Limani Merita , Limani Meli
Published: December 2022

COVID-19 has exacerbated health inequalities around the world. Kosovo has so far experienced four waves of the pandemic with a fatality rate of 2.6 registered deaths per 100 cases which is higher than some comparable countries in the region. Women have been disproportionally affected in many spheres of life including their safety and security at home. While Gender-Based Violence (GBV) has been one of the major concerns for women’s safety over the years, the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the situation. Drawing on the theory of GBV and intersectionality and using a mixed-method approach, this study examines whether GBV cases have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether government policies and responses during the COVID-19 pandemic have considered GBV implications. This study yields three main findings: First, the institutional data on reported cases show that GBV has increased significantly between 2010 to 2021. Similar trends of increase were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, the COVID-19 institutional actions towards the pandemic disproportionally considered the specific needs of the most vulnerable groups of the population including women. Third, violence against women is treated within the domestic violence domain which does not address entirely the nature of the gender-based violence in the country.
