Authors: Tverezovska Nina , Holovash D
Published: December 2023

The categories of the population affected by the military actions in the east of Ukraine are highlighted. In the context of meeting the needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs), the key areas that require attention and resources are: housing problems; education and training; income and labor activity; legal assistance and restoration of documents; medical sphere; psychological assistance; social assistance and services; rehabilitation services. The intensity of the need for adaptation of IDPs to changed living conditions through the analysis of their adaptation features was studied. The need for understanding was identified as the key one. The need for social recognition and integration into a new social environment is also significant. It is pointed out that the adaptation of internally displaced persons to the new social environment is complicated due to differences in worldview positions between IDPs and members of the host community. The socio-psychological conditions for the success of social rehabilitation are highlighted, and the criteria for the effectiveness of social rehabilitation are defined. Аddressing migrant issues requires an integrated approach involving cooperation between different state and regional institutions. The United Nations Development Program in Ukraine initiates a significant project aimed at creating jobs for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which is an important step in supporting and integrating this category of citizens into society. The main objective of the program is to provide employment for IDPs through co-financing, opening opportunities for both temporary and permanent jobs. This approach will contribute to the economic stabilization and social well-being of IDPs, helping them to find new perspectives and rebuild their lives. Taking into account the possibility of remote jobs is also key, as it adds flexibility and increases the availability of work for those living in remote or densely populated areas. Overall, the initiative reflects a strategic approach to addressing IDPs, focusing not only on immediate assistance but also on creating durable solutions to increase their employment and social integration.

On social forecasting, transdisciplinarity, and a human being
Authors: Danylova Tatiana
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, the transition from the fragmentation of the process of acquiring scientific knowledge to converged scientific knowledge involves collaboration of the representatives of various disciplines. As a result, they create synergistic connections of knowledge, which contributes to the elaboration of new concepts, the solution of complex problems and, ultimately, the development of a new scientific product. Multidisciplinary research teams collaborate in a program without integrating concepts, epistemologies, and methodologies, interdisciplinary research teams integrate various concepts, epistemologies, and methodologies, whereas transdisciplinary teams “transgress” the boundaries of disciplines, create a common conceptual model, which is based on a new vision of different levels of reality. A transdisciplinary approach to social forecasting has a potential to consider all sciences in a humanitarian context with respect to specific holistic human nature. Thus, it goes beyond traditional boundaries, synthesize, integrate solutions to the problems and rise above them. This paper attempts to offer a launching pad for linking up different fields of knowledge in the context of social forecasting.
The concept of "Revolution" and the present time
Authors: Oblap Pavlo
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that today, as in previous eras, the concept of "revolution" continues to be one of the main concepts widely used in social and political sciences. Revealing the content of the revolution is possible only in the context of social relations that were historically formed in a certain era. The purpose of the study is to analyze the theoretical understanding of the concept of "revolution" and its connection with the concept of "modernity" in the context of changes in socio-economic and political relations. Analytical, comparative and historical methods were used in the research process. It has been established that the concept of revolution has its own history, belongs to the first-class historical questions and is used by scientists in relation to events and phenomena that occurred in different eras and had different meanings in the context of practices and concepts inherent in the corresponding era. It is proven that the most complete meaning of the revolution can be revealed only by studying the traditions of using revolutionary practices in social life, tracing changes in the concept of "revolution" in political discourse in different historical periods. It is substantiated that the classic view of the revolution as a return, restoration of a just order, inherent in premodern society, has been replaced by a modern view of the revolution as a radical change in the social system, a complete break with the past, restructuring of society and a change in the political system.

Published: December 2023

The relevance of this study lies in the applied use of general scientific methods of landscape ecology in organic horticulture of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The purpose of the study was to develop a system of targeted agricultural landscape assessment of the territory to determine the prospects for the development of organic horticulture on the example of the right-bank part of the Western Forest-Steppe. To fulfil this purpose, the methodology of targeted agricultural landscape zoning of agricultural land was used. For this, maps and diagrams of the distribution of the main structural components and factors of the agrosphere, namely, landscapes and morphological structures of the relief, soil and vegetation cover, water chemistry, rocks, functional use of land and traditional areas of agricultural production, were used. The cartographic method and expert assessments of land suitability for organic horticulture were based on the study of 8 natural and anthropogenic factors that form the corresponding taxonomic classification of agricultural landscapes of the Forest-Steppe from 30 taxa. The spatial differentiation of the factors is determined by the relevant quantitative and qualitative parameters of orchard lands. The expert assessment of agricultural landscapes for organic horticulture is based on the percentage level of alteration of the natural structure of the land. A full-scale model of the target map of agricultural landscapes was developed to assess the prospects for the development of organic horticulture on the example of the central part of the Right Bank of the Western Forest-Steppe. The study area of 5,400 square kilometres was located at the intersection of three administrative regions, namely Zhytomyr, Kyiv, and Vinnytsia. The study identified 21 agricultural landscapes, the territories of which are homogeneous in 8 parameters. Their comprehensive regional perspectives for organic horticulture are rated from 11 to 21. It was proposed to define 5 categories of agricultural landscapes according to their suitability for organic horticulture: the highest (21 points), high (19-20 points), medium (17-18 points), low (15-16 points) levels of suitability and unsuitable (11-12 points). Half of the study area is covered by agricultural landscapes of high suitability for organic horticulture, 15% each of medium and unsuitable, and 10% each of high and low suitability. The targeted classification of land for organic horticulture on an agricultural landscape basis is the scientific and methodological basis for the widespread development of a new, environmentally sound type of agricultural activity in Ukraine

Authors: Mańkowska Beata
Published: December 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish the interdependencies between the sense of coherence, nutritional maturity and the sense of stress in a group of young adults, considering their diet. Ultimately, research efforts were aimed at testing the predictive power of the study variables against the feeling of stress.
Method: The study was conducted in a group of 100 people in the 20–33 age range that were following either a vegetarian and meat diet. The Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Questionnaire, the Nutritional Maturity Questionnaire (Potocka & Najder, 2016) and the Sense of Stress Questionnaire (Plopa & Makarowski, 2010) were applied.
Results: The results indicate a significantly lower intensity of emotional tension, intrapsychic, external and general stress, as well as significantly higher indicators of the sense of coherence and nutritional maturity in the group of vegetarians. Moreover, nutritional maturity was found to be negatively correlated to the sense of stress, while the sense of coherence was noted to be positively correlated to the nutritional maturity. In the end, it was demonstrated that the sense of coherence played an important role in predicting stress as experienced by young adults.
Conclusion: The research provided important knowledge on the relationship between attitudes towards nutrition and experiencing stress in a group of young adults.

Delayed neurological improvement in a patient with Duret hemorrhage secondary to an acute subdural hematoma: illustrative case
Authors: Jung Youngkyung , Ellenbogen Yosef , Pirouzmand Farhad
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Duret hemorrhage is a rare phenomenon wherein rapid transtentorial herniation results in brainstem injury and hemorrhage. It is usually regarded as a poor prognostic factor representing irreversible and often catastrophic brain injury. The authors report an unusual case of Duret hemorrhage with spontaneous delayed neurological recovery postoperatively after surgical treatment of an acute subdural hematoma (SDH).

OBSERVATIONS

The authors present the case of a 65-year-old male who initially presented to the hospital with a large acute left-sided SDH causing 1.3 cm of midline shift. He was taken urgently for a craniotomy, with no significant intraoperative swelling or visible contusions. Postoperative imaging revealed an unexpected pontine hyperdensity concerning for a Duret hemorrhage. He initially had no neurological improvement; however, at 3 weeks postoperatively, he gradually recovered and was able to follow commands and was extubated. At 10 weeks after surgery, his Glasgow Coma Scale score improved to 15, with mild residual left hemiparesis.

LESSONS

This case challenges a classic dogma that Duret hemorrhage carries a universally poor outcome. In select cases, patients can make meaningful recoveries in a delayed fashion. The lack of intraoperative contusions and swelling may have contributed to this patient’s recovery.
Coronavirus disease 2019–associated persistent cough and Chiari malformation type I resulting in acute respiratory failure: illustrative case
Authors: Piscopo Anthony J , Teferi Nahom , Marincovich Anthony , Challa Meron , Dlouhy Brian J
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is the herniation of cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum, potentially resulting in the obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid flow and brainstem compression. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in patients with CM-I, and symptomatic exacerbations have been described after Valsalva-inducing stressors. Acute decompensation in the setting of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not been described.

OBSERVATIONS

After violent coughing episodes associated with COVID-19 infection, a 44-year-old female developed several months of Valsalva-induced occipital headaches, episodic bulbar symptoms, and worsening SDB, which led to acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Imaging demonstrated 12 mm of cerebellar tonsillar descent below the foramen magnum, dorsal brainstem compression, and syringobulbia within the dorsal medulla. She underwent posterior fossa and intradural decompression with near-complete resolution of her symptoms 6 months postoperatively.

LESSONS

Although CM-I can remain asymptomatic, Valsalva-inducing stressors, including COVID-19 infection, can initiate or acutely exacerbate symptoms, placing patients at risk for CM-I–associated brainstem dysfunction and, in rare cases, acute respiratory failure. Worsening Valsalva maneuvers can contribute to further cerebellar tonsil impaction, brainstem compression, syringomyelia/syringobulbia, and worsening CM-I intradural pathology. Ventilator support and timely decompressive surgery are paramount, as brainstem compression can reduce central respiratory drive, placing patients at risk for coma, neurological deficits, and/or death.

Authors: Persad Amit R , Liu Eva , Wu Adam , Fourney Daryl R
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Bilateral occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) with involvement of the inferior clivus, otherwise known as “avulsion of the anterior foramen magnum,” are an exceedingly rare injury with only a few published reports.

OBSERVATIONS

A 24-year-old male presented with bilateral OCFs with involvement of the clivus after a motor vehicle accident. The patient had no neurological deficits and was successfully managed nonoperatively using a halo vest. The authors used a traction test to guide the duration of nonoperative care. The operative and nonoperative management of this rare injury is discussed with respect to other cases in the literature.

LESSONS

External immobilization through a halo vest is an effective treatment option for bilateral OCFs with clivus involvement. The traction test can be used, along with computed tomography, to guide the duration of treatment.
