Social Media Adoption in Yemeni Local NGOs
Authors: Honinah Mohammed , Alhakimi Wail
Published: September 2021

Social media use is rapidly increasing as its platforms keep offering excellent opportunities for individuals and organizations, including NGOs, to develop better outreach with communities, donors and stakeholders, save costs and improve service. This study explores quantitative evidence derived from a survey involving 96 participants from 11 local NGOs in Yemen. The survey responses are analyzed using descriptive statistics that includes means and standard deviations to examine the initially identified 6 Technology-Organization-Environment factors (Technological Factors: perceived benefit, compatibility, complexity; Organizational Factor: top management support; Environmental Factors: bandwagon pressure and competitive pressure). The results suggest that the factors (perceived benefit, compatibility, complexity, top management support, and competitive pressure) are important for social media adoption. It was found that bandwagon pressure is the only factor that does not have a significant role in social media adoption. This study provides a foundation for future social media adoption research as well as useful guidance to NGOs that desire to use social media effectively to benefit their organizations. The findings can be useful to managers and communication officers of NGOs. In this study, it is recommended that understanding the factors related to adoption of social media by Local NGOs will help decision-makers be in a better position to enhance future social media adoption and adoption strategies and accomplish the best outcomes of social media utilizations.
Práticas e percepções linguísticas de alunos em uma escola paraguaia de fronteira
Authors: Martiny Franciele Maria , Cortez Mariana
Published: September 2021

Como pressuposto ideal dos processos de mediação de leitura está o diálogo. O projeto “Vivendo Livros Latino-Americanos na Tríplice Fronteira”, que tem como objetivos a recuperação de bibliotecas e a mediação de leitura literária em escolas de anos iniciais da fronteira (Brasil/Paraguai/Argentina), enfrenta o desafio de propor conversas literárias entre sujeitos de diferentes contextos. Nesse sentido, este artigo empírico-analítico visa à reflexão sobre as práticas e percepções linguísticas de discentes do 5º Ano de uma escola em Ciudad del Este participantes do referido projeto, pois houve, de início, tensões que exigiram o reconhecimento de um cenário sociolinguisticamente complexo. Para tanto, o desenvolvimento deste trabalho consiste, primeiramente, no debate das políticas linguísticas e educacionais do Paraguai, problematizando a proposta de ensino bilíngue, para, em seguida, relacioná-las à experiência desenvolvida. O estudo, analítico e qualitativo, foca-se no diálogo estabelecido e aponta dificuldades decorrentes da presença do plurilinguismo na escola.
potência do vulnerável em Amy Winehouse: planos abismais de uma narratividade cinebiográfica
Authors: De Souza Pedro
Published: September 2021

Neste artigo, pretendo desenvolver a hipótese de que há duas maneiras de pensar o fenômeno da precariedade. A primeira maneira consiste em tomar o precário, o vulnerável, naquilo que impede a realização de um projeto de vida, não importa em que domínio se coloque. O segundo modo de abordar a precariedade é concebê-la não como o que impede mas como o que é parte crucial da realização incerta, indeterminada de uma vida. Nesses termos, o precário é o traço do que se move entre o fazer e o não fazer. O objetivo é rastrear marcas de precariedade ou vulnerabilidade que se fabricam em certa modalidade de discurso no campo das narrativas fílmicas sobre vida de cantores. Quero analisar um caso de cinebiografia, entre muitos outros, em que atos corporais de enunciação e práticas de vida rondam a voz e a colocam em risco. Aqui o objeto da análise é a narrativa fílmica sobre a trágica história da cantora britânica Amy Winehouse: Amy, de Asif Kapadia, 2015 .
relação gramática-texto no ensino de língua portuguesa: da linguística aplicada à didática da língua
Authors: Bispo Marcos
Published: September 2021

Este texto teve como objetivo analisar a relação gramática-texto na arquitetura da Língua Portuguesa delineada na BNCC. Para isso, confrontou as propostas da abordagem cientificista da relação entre gramática e texto no ensino de Língua Portuguesa desenvolvidas no âmbito da linguística aplicada com a proposta didática da pedagogia das competências apresentada na BNCC. As análises demonstraram que, nas propostas da linguística aplicada, predomina um olhar fragmentário, em razão do pluralismo teórico desarticulado, enquanto, na BNCC, a relação gramática-texto é compreendida de forma global, num continuum que envolve o desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências necessárias ao pleno exercício da cidadania.
Reflexões semióticas sobre as responsabilidades na pandemia da Covid-19 Reflexiones semióticas acerca de las responsabilidades en la pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Fulaneti Oriana
Published: September 2021

Com o advento da Covid-19, o ano de 2020 foi marcado por um conjunto de crises que nos levam à seguinte questão: qual é a minha responsabilidade nisso tudo? Nesse contexto, o presente artigo consiste na análise de algumas campanhas de prevenção à Covid-19 produzidas e veiculadas em 2020 no Brasil, tendo como objetivo investigar a concepção de responsabilidade presente nos textos estudados. Para o desenvolvimento das análises, tomamos como ponto de partida as categorias de responsabilidade propostas pelo filósofo francês Frédéric Gros (2018) e verificamos suas formas de manifestação semiótica, tendo como base a teoria semiótica francesa em suas abordagens greimasiana e tensiva. Considerando o responsável como “aquele que responde por”, nossa investigação recai sobre o sujeito e o espectro pelo qual ele responde. Resultados indicam que as campanhas apresentam gradações distintas de responsabilidade, as quais associam-se diretamente à visão de organização da sociedade.
Práticas discursivas de desobediência e seu valor de acontecimento nas relações de poder
Authors: Navarro Pedro , Ceniz Cássio Henrique
Published: September 2021

O artigo analisa movimentos discursivos de desobediência que se constituem como formas de resistência a certos dispositivos de poder. Para tanto, traçamos um percurso teórico e analítico que compreende os seguintes pontos: a) uma discussão a respeito do poder e do sujeito, com a atenção voltada para elementos que identificam o funcionamento do dispositivo da dominação masculina, incluindo a heteronormatividade e a virilidade; b) a retomada de aspectos da teoria do discurso que nos respaldam identificar o jogo estratégico que define uma posição de sujeito, cuja enunciação se manifesta como uma desobediência às estruturas sociais dos dispositivos elencados; c) a compreensão da noção de desobediência (GROS, 2018), interrogando seu funcionamento como prática discursiva. Escalonamos e analisamos os tipos de desobediência que, por seu valor de acontecimento na conjuntura sócio-histórica e política atual, manifestam atitudes de resistência frente aos dispositivos de poder que se sobrepõem aos sujeitos.

Regulamentações ambientais e competitividade: um estudo comparativo entre Brasil e França
Authors: Borsatto Jaluza Maria Lima Silva , Bazani Camila Lima
Published: September 2021

Este estudo objetivou verificar se existe algum tipo de associação entre o rigor das regulamentações ambientais e a competitividade dos países Brasil e França, entre 2005 e 2015, com base nos resultados dos indicadores de rigor das regulamentações ambientais (Environmental Policy Stringency Index, OECD) e competitividade (Global Competitiveness Index, WEF). Ademais, buscou-se analisar a evolução do rigor das regulamentações ambientais e da competitividade, e um comparativo quanto à associação entre o rigor das regulamentações ambientais e a competitividade desses países. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa, analisando descritivamente as variáveis em estudo e utilizando-se do teste estatístico correlação linear de Pearson. Os resultados demonstraram que a França é um país mais competitivo e com maior rigor em suas políticas ambientais que o Brasil. Verificou-se a existência de uma associação negativa entre o rigor das regulamentações ambientais e a competitividade no Brasil, e na França verificou-se uma relação negativa e positiva com os pilares da competitividade.
Uma proposta de avaliação de desempenho por funções em ambiente simulado
Authors: Scherer Mônica Elisa , Dias Junior Claudelino Martins , Buss Ricardo Niehues
Published: September 2021

A atividade de simulação tem como objetivo educacional proporcionar aplicações de conceitos abordados teóricos. A simulação gerencial reúne decisões transversais dos elementos organizacionais, intencionando obter um melhor desempenho frente a um mercado e seus potenciais concorrentes. Os resultados desta prática determinam uma classificação de desempenho, tendo o retorno econômico como principal base de referência. O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de dados obtidos com o exercício de simulação ambientada presencial e remotamente (ambiente virtual). A metodologia de análise parte da catalogação e efetiva utilização de indicadores de desempenho sugeridos por Bernard (2004), valendo-se ainda do grau de importância médio de cada indicador utilizado ao longo de um períodos trimestrais simulados de três anos, propondo-se um reordenamento de desempenho a partir os indicadores selecionados, mediante  a somatória de pontos no desempenho de cada função, concluiu-se que o uso de apenas um critério (econômico) de mensuração do desempenho demonstra-se insuficiente.

Collaborating Backstage
Authors: Niermann Timo
Published: September 2021

Collaboration is the most important facet of any theatrical company. From the performers on stage to the choreographers, designers and technicians working behind the scenes, this book considers all departments working on a production and instructs them on how to unify their individual skills towards a shared goal.

From Vaudeville to classical opera, this book establishes the skills that each specialist brings to the production process before demonstrating how each individual contribution can be utilized in tandem with all other creative teams. With particular focus on enhancing interdepartmental communication, Collaborating Backstage examines all the challenges that may befall artistic companies and projects made up of many different parts. This book explains how to understand technical jargon within teams that speak a variety of languages and come from different cultural backgrounds; how to recognise and follow the ‘unwritten rules’ of theatre; and how best to achieve the ultimate creative potential of a team working completely in sync.

Underpinned by incisive theories on performance, communication and creativity, Collaborating Backstage is full of helpful illustrations and innovative methods to achieve effective working relationships in the theatre.

Integrated Model and Index for Circular Economy in the Built-Environment in the Indian Context
Authors: J.S Smitha , Thomas Albert
Published: September 2021

Sustainable development aims at minimising waste and reducing exploitation of natural resources and energy, so that needs of the future generations are taken care of. Circular Economy (CE) is a new drift towards sustainability that aims at minimising waste and promoting material reuse, thereby creating a regenerative system. The construction industry is responsible for the extraction of raw materials and the generation of waste in large quantities, thereby making it an opportune sector for transition to a circular economy. On account of the complex nature of the built environment comprising various phases and associated actors, a proper framework or indexing for the circular economy is missing at present. This study aims to develop an integrated model of CE in the built environment which considers various construction stages and applicable strategies. An index for measuring the circularity potential in construction materials is also proposed, based on attributes developed from literature review and analysis of questionnaire survey. Simple Additive Weighting Method (SAWM), an elementary multi-criteria decision-making method is used for developing the index. It is anticipated that Circular Economy Potential Index (CEPI) would support decision-making in the initial stage of construction projects and help to compare the circularity of materials.

Розбудова громадянського суспільства в Україні вимагає активної політичної позиції з боку всіх суб’єктів політичних відносин – людей та соціальних груп, активної творчої та позитивної спрямованості їхніх політичних дій. Саме політична активність та політична участь молоді в різного роду рухах, об’єднаннях зумовили конфігурацію політичних та соціальних процесів. Ретроспекція дає змогу оцінити роль та вплив психології, політичної психології на ці процеси. У свою чергу психологічна наука збагатилася такими цінними надбаннями, що їх можна використати як приклад вирішення більш широких проблем – як дослідження феномену політичної та соціокультурної участі молоді у вирішенні нагальних питань повсякдення, особливо під час сучасних криз та викликів.

Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, Klyujko D.A. , Korik V.E. ,   Belarusian State Medical University, Zhidkov S.A. ,   Belarusian State Medical University
Published: September 2021

This article is devoted to the problem of adhesions of the abdominal cavity, as one of the most important and poorly studied problems of abdominal surgery. As a result of a series of experiments on 85 laboratory animals, an analysis of the effectiveness and representativeness of various models of the adhesions of the abdominal cavity was carried out. It was revealed that the isolated modeling effect has a small effect on the occurrence of the adhesive process and, as a consequence, adhesive disease. In terms of the number of adhesions formed, the prevalence of the adhesive process, the method of modeling with talc followed by adhesiolysis is the most equivalent to human adhesive disease.

The sensitivity and the specificity of method of diagnostics with ROC-analisis is assessed. As it's identified, bicycle ergometer test use allows to increase the informativeness of lung failure degree diagnostics due to identification of COPD persons without lung failure. Different degrees of lung failure are identified in 70% COPD patients using developed method of lung failure degree diagnostics. Sever degree of lung failure is revealed in 56% COPD patients. Lung failure degree that can decrease domestic stress testing tolerance and can get worse the quality of life is revealed in 56% COPD patients. The moderate straight relationship between lung failure degrees and severity lung failure classes and COPD exacerbation risk groups is detected.

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between neurological manifestations of degenerative disk disease, visceral pathology and temporal characteristics of pain syndrome with an assessment of the quality of life of patients. 50 patients with non-specific back pain were examined. Diagnostics of neurological manifestations of degenerative disk disease, concomitant visceral pathology, assessment of the quality of life according to the SF-36 questionnaire, testing according to the hospital scale of anxiety and depression HADS were carried out. Results: most patients achieve remission (66%), 34% of patients develop relapses of varying duration. In 44% of patients, there were no neurological manifestations of degenerative disk disease. In 50% of cases, concomitant visceral pathology was detected. 38% of patients were diagnosed with deviations on the HADS scale. The duration of pain syndrome over one year significantly affected the decrease in the physical component of health according to the SF-36 questionnaire. The indicators of work activity (56%), daily activity due to the intensity of pain (44%) and emotional state (30%) deteriorated the most. This dictates the need to introduce an individual, integrated, multidisciplinary approach in the management of patients with vertebral pain syndrome in degenerative disk disease of the spine.

Published: September 2021

Drug addiction remains one of the most important problems for the world community. With the existing growth in the number of drug users around the world, an important task is to analyze the number of drug users in different territories, their age and gender structure in order to plan effective preventive work and the possibility of preventing the spread of parenterally transmitted diseases (HIV infection, parenteral viral hepatitis). This study analyzes the dynamics of the drug use incidence in Minsk over a 10-year period of time (2010-2019). It was found that the incidence of drug use in 2010-2019 in Minsk fluctuated between 149.26 о / оооо in 2019-266.76 о / оооо in 2012, and the average long-term incidence was 207.44 cases per 100,000 population. The long-term epidemic trend of drug use was significant to decrease with an average growth rate of -7.48% (p < 0.01). The beginning of the analyzed time interval (2010-2013) was characterized by an increase in the drug users number, which can be regarded as a predictor of a sharp increase in the number of detected HIV cases in 2015 in Minsk. In the age structure of drug users in Minsk, persons aged 26-30 have the largest share. On average, every 5th drug user is a woman.
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY WITH 18F -FDG IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE ENDOCARDITIS
Authors:   Republican Scientific and Practical Centre «Cardiology», Lukashevich A.S.
Published: September 2021

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the diagnostic significance of positron emission tomography / computed tomography with 18F -fluorodeoxyglucose (18F -FDG PET/CT) for the diagnosis of prosthetic endocarditis. Methods of research. The study included 82 patients with suspected prosthetic endocarditis in accordance with the criteria proposed by Duke University [1-5]. The patients received hospital treatment at the State Institution RSPC "Cardiology" from January 2016 to March 2021. The study was of a prospective, non-randomized, single-center cohort design. The duration of the monitor period was 12 months from the moment of patients’ inclusion in the study. Whole-body positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) examinations were performed in 82 patients. 27 patients were selected for surgical treatment. Conservative treatment group included 16 patients. 27 patients were selected into the observation group, they were suspected to have prosthetic heart valve infection in the primary referral and underwent PET/CT scanning, according to which the diagnosis of prosthetic endocarditis was excluded. The event under the study did not develop in this group during the year of observation. Results and conclusion. The history of infective endocarditis was not statistically significant and did not increase the risk of developing prosthetic endocarditis in the sample presented. The Duke criteria are less reliable in establishing the diagnosis of prosthetic endocarditis. The median number of days from the date of the first prosthesis implantation to the onset of prosthetic endocarditis was about 4 years. This study revealed that the development of the infectious process in the area of the prosthesis was noted in a more distant postoperative period compared to literature data. Histological confirmation of infection was noted in 100% (27 patients) of cases in reoperated patients. The presence of a more formidable complication such as valve ring abscess located mainly in the projection of the aortic valve ring was quite common in both groups. Presepsin and Interleukin-6 have a statistically significant (U = 394,50 p = 0,01 and U = 94,50 p = 0.004) value in the prognosis of prosthetic endocarditis. Considering the data obtained from ROC analysis, it can be said that the cut-off point at which it is possible to diagnose prosthetic endocarditis based on PETCT is 2.85. The presented methods for the interpretation of whole-body FDG-PET/CT images of patients with suspected infectious complications after cardiac surgery, as well as with the presence of prosthetic endocarditis, show high sensitivity and specificity.
Estimated effect of the permafrost carbon feedback on the zero emissions commitment to climate change
Authors: MacDougall Andrew H.
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Zero Emissions Commitment (ZEC), the expected change in global temperature following the cessation of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, has recently been assessed by the Zero Emissions Commitment Model Intercomparison Project (ZECMIP). ZECMIP concluded that the component of ZEC from CO2 emissions will likely be close to zero in the decades following the cessation of emissions. However, of the 18 Earth system models that participated in ZECMIP only 2 included a representation of the permafrost carbon feedback to climate change. To better assess the potential impact of permafrost carbon decay on ZEC, a series of perturbed parameter experiments are here conducted with an Earth system model of intermediate complexity. The experiment suggests that the permafrost carbon cycle feedback will directly add 0.06 [0.02 to 0.14] ∘C to the benchmark the ZEC value assesses 50 years after 1000 Pg C of CO2 has been emitted to the atmosphere. An additional 0.04 [0 to 0.06] ∘C is likely to been added relative to the benchmark ZEC value from the thaw-lag effect unaccounted for in the ZECMIP experiment design. Overall I assess that the permafrost carbon feedback is unlikely to change the assessment that ZEC is close to zero on decadal timescales; however, the feedback is expected to become more important over the coming centuries.

Abstract. Arctic river deltas and deltaic near-shore zones represent important land-ocean transition zones influencing sediment dynamics and nutrient fluxes from permafrost-affected terrestrial ecosystems into the coastal Arctic Ocean. To accurately model fluvial carbon and freshwater export from rapidly changing river catchments, as well assessing impacts of future change on the Arctic shelf and coastal ecosystems, we need to understand the sea floor characteristics and topographic variety of the coastal zones. To date, digital bathymetrical data from the poorly accessible, shallow and large areas of the eastern Siberian Arctic shelves are sparse. We have digitized bathymetrical information for nearly 75,000 locations from large-scale current and historical nautical maps of the Lena Delta and the Kolyma Gulf Region in Northeast Siberia. We present the first detailed and seamless digital models of coastal zone bathymetry for both delta/gulf regions. We validated the resulting bathymetry layers using a combination of our own water depth measurements and a collection of available depth measurements, which showed a strong correlation (r > 0.9). Our bathymetrical models will serve as an input for a high-resolution coupled hydrodynamic-ecosystem model to better quantify fluvial and coastal carbon fluxes to the Arctic Ocean but may be useful for a range of other studies related to Arctic delta and near-shore dynamics such as modelling of submarine permafrost, near-shore sea ice, or shelf sediment transport. The new digital high-resolution bathymetry products are available on the PANGAEA data set repository (Fuchs et al. 2021a, b). Likewise the depth validation data is available on PANGAEA as well (Fuchs et al., 2021c).

O exílio liberal no Cone Sul da América de 1820: o caso de João Soares Lisboa em Buenos Aires (1822-1823)
Authors: Ferreira Paula Botafogo Caricchio
Published: September 2021

O texto analisa as redes de comunicação e a cultura política vivenciadas por João Soares Lisboa e outros exilados no Cone Sul, uma região militarizada e de fronteiras indeterminadas entre o Império do Brasil e as repúblicas hispano-americanas recém-independentes, nos anos de 1822-1823, a partir de Buenos Aires. Reconhecido na historiografia como o redator mais radical e, por vezes, republicano da província fluminense, após ter sido acusado de “conluio republicano” na primeira devassa política do império do Brasil (1822), João Soares Lisboa foi intimado pelo governo a deixar o Brasil e proibido de continuar na redação do Correio do Rio de Janeiro, através do qual protagonizara a politização do processo de independência do Brasil. Em novembro de 1822, embarcou clandestinamente para Buenos Aires, onde se exilou até o início de 1823. Sua experiência hispano-americana de exílio foi decisiva para a sua condenação e a absolvição de todos os outros réus, como Joaquim Gonçalves Ledo, demarcando a rearticulação do jogo político e constituindo um ponto de viragem na política do Império do Brasil. Neste sentido, o exílio é analisado como trânsito cultural, com sua construção de fronteiras e redes imaginárias, e aquisição de experiências e olhares sobre o “outro”. Ademais, era um mecanismo da política liberal, uma espécie de modo de fazer político utilizado sobretudo por redatores. Mais tarde, o exílio integrou a memória histórica das trajetórias desses exilados como um elemento que as qualificava, por vezes, de radicais, em outras, como exemplos de percursos históricos de moderação constitucional.

The article presents the results of the study of the influence of copper heavy metals on the germination and growth of wheat seeds (Triticum aestirum L.) of the variety Akmola 2. The study was conducted under laboratory conditions. As a source of copper, concentrations of the CuSO4 salt of 50 μmol, 100 μmol, 150 μmol, and 300 μmol were taken. The seeds were pre-primed in a solution of molybdate (75 mM Na2MoO4*2H2O) for uniform germination. The results of the influence of primed and non-primed seeds on some physiological indicators of growth and development in these concentrations of copper are discussed. The germination rate of seeds primed for heavy metal salts remains higher than that of seeds not primed. It is shown that in response to stress caused by copper metal salts, plants are responsible for the accumulation of a significant amount of proline in the leaves and roots that perform a protective function. The results obtained indicate the resistance of the wheat plant to the effects of heavy metals of copper, seeds primed with molybdate.

Digital tomosynthesis
in breast cancer diagnostics
(literature review)
Authors: Suleimenova D. М. , Ainakulova A. S. , Zholdybay Zh. Zh.
Published: September 2021

Relevance: Breast cancer is the most common malignant

neoplasm among women in our country. Mammography is

currently the method of choice in breast cancer diagnostics.

However, it has limitations associated with the imposition of

breast tissue layers, which makes it difficult to identify lesions

and leads to a misdiagnosis. Breast tomosynthesis is a tomographic technique in which the effect of tissue superimposition

is significantly reduced due to layer-by-layer scanning.

The purpose of this study was to review the capacity of

tomosynthesis in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Results: The combination of tomosynthesis with a synthesized image is the best technology for screening because

it offers the best combination of efficiency and radiation dose.

Advantages include greater diagnostic accuracy due to both

increased sensitivity and specificity, and a significantly less

need for additional mammography projections (targeted

mammography, targeted mammography with magnification).

Conclusions: Tomosynthesis as a diagnostic method significantly exceeds the method of mammography. The higher

informative value of the results provided by tomosynthesis reduces the frequency of false-negative and false-positive radiological conclusions

Relevance: Melanoma is considered one of the most

aggressive tumors. It is distinguished by early and multiple metastases, often unsatisfactory outcomes, and a

variety of clinical and morphological forms. Its incidence

is steadily growing in the world and the Republic of Tajikistan. The official statistics reported 222 newly diagnosed

cases of skin melanoma in 2018 vs. 159 in 2010. According

to our figures, patients below 40 years are mostly women

(56.2%), older patients are mostly men. The peak incidence

is at the age of 40 and above, with the average patient age

of 53. Other ages are also affected, including 1-2 cases at

the age of 0-4 years.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the specifics of diagnostics, treatment, and survival rates of patients

with skin melanoma in the Republic of Tajikistan and assess the errors in diagnostics and tactics at the primary

healthcare level.

Results: We studied the medical records of 26 patients

treated in-patiently at the Republican Oncological Scientific Center of the Republic of Tajikistan in 2017-2019. The

patient age varied from 20 to 89 years, men (73.1%) prevailed, the peak incidence was at the age of 45-66 years.

More than half of the patients came to treatment within

two years after the onset of the disease. The disease factors included: trauma incl. surgical intervention (38.4%),

hereditary factor (7.7%), spontaneous occurrence (30.7%),

and precancer diseases (nevi) (23.1%). The diagnosis was

verified before surgery in 14 (53.8%) cases, intraoperatively

in 2 (7.7%), and post-surgery in 10 (38.5%). The tumor was

localized mainly on the body (38.5%) and the lower limb

(23.1%). 21 (80.8%) patients underwent various surgical

interventions, 5 (19.2%) patients refused surgery. 8 (30.8%)

patients had metastases at diagnosis; in 4 (15.4%), metastases appeared up to 3 years after surgery. The mortality

before three years was 12 (46.2%). The 3-year observed

survival was 52.1%.

Conclusion: Timely diagnostics and optimal choice

of treatment in skin melanoma are of importance. A high

rate of diagnostic errors at the general practitioners’ level

affects the overall survival of patients.

Published: September 2021

Relevance: According to Globocan 2018, ovarian cancer (OC) ranks 18th among all other cancers

affecting women around the world. More than

295,414 new cases of OC were reported only in 2018.

The incidence is low in Western Europe and is high

in Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, and Kazakhstan. In 2018, ovarian malignancies ranked 8th

(3.1%) in Kazakhstan among all malignant tumors.

At that, there are no clearly recognized preventative measures to ensure the early detection of OC.

70% of ovarian malignancies are detected at stage

III-IV.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a

comparative analysis and assessment of the dynamics of the prevalence of OC in the Republic of

Kazakhstan in 2013-2018.

Results: The analysis of age-related OC incidence

in Kazakhstan showed the presence of ovarian

malignancies in all age groups, with a marked

increase by the age of 65-69 years. The majority of

patients were women of the working age.

Differences were found in the incidence rates

by regions of the country. In the study period, the

incidence was high in Qostanai, Pavlodar, and North

Kazakhstan regions (northern part of the country)

and Almaty. The incidence was below the national

average in Atyrau, Jambyl, and South Kazakhstan

regions (southern and western parts of the country).

Recent years have witnessed a sharp increase in OC

incidence in East Kazakhstan and Karaganda regions.

Conclusion: The analysis of OC prevalence in the

Republic of Kazakhstan and by regions showed an

increase in OC incidence. There is a marked increase

in OC detection in the northern areas of the country

and a decrease in the number of cases in the south.

Relevance: Esophageal cancer ranks eighth in the structure of malignant tumors in the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to the Kazakh Institute of Oncology and Radiology, in 2018, 1225 were primarily registered with esophageal cancer, and

825 patients died from this disease.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the esophageal cancer incidence and mortality among the population of the

Republic of Kazakhstan in 2009-2018 and determine the cancer service efficacy.

Results: The analysis of intensive indicators of esophageal cancer incidence showed a decrease in the number of primary cases from 8.2‰ in 2009 to 6.7‰ in 2018, and the mortality – from 6.9‰ to 3.8‰. The share of early detection

(Stage I-II) increased by 38.2% since 2009 to reach 52.1% in 2018. The share of stage IV esophageal cancer decreased from

7.2% in 2009 to 5.8% in 2018. One-year mortality decreased by 14.7% since 2009 to reach 41.2% in 2018, which speaks of the

improvements in the timely diagnosis of esophageal cancer. The number of patients who received radical comprehensive

treatment increased by 8.6% to reach 32.2% in 2018. The number of patients who received surgical treatment in 2009-2018

remained almost at the same level and amounted to 18.9 and 18.0%, respectively. However, during the years of screening

for esophageal cancer, the proportion of surgical treatment increased from 26.6% to 30.4%. The ratio of incidence to mortality decreased from 91.4% to 68.8% in the study period indicating an improvement in the level of cancer service in the

Republic of Kazakhstan.

Conclusion: The analysis of intensive indicators of esophageal cancer incidence showed a decrease in primary incidence. The screening conducted in 2013-2016 has shown an improvement in early detection of esophageal cancer (stages

I-II) and a decrease in the share of the advanced stage. The findings of this study shall serve as the basis for planning anti-cancer measures

Published: September 2021

The article describes a classic case of olfactory neuroblastoma in a 33-year-old female patient diagnosed with «nasal cavity

neoplasm (polyp?)» who was referred to the National Centre for Neurosurgery JSC from the ENT Department of the City Hospital No. 1. The first symptoms of the tumor occurred during her pregnancy. The aggressive tumor has invaded the anterior

cranial fossa and spread into the right half of the ethmoid sinuses and the orbit. The tumor diagnostics was complicated by the

prevalence of symptoms of a nasal cavity neoplasm. The “olfactory neuroblastoma” diagnosis was verified by clinical observations, MRI, and pathomorphological studies. Histological examination of the tumor showed a typical structure of olfactory

neuroblastoma. IHC examination showed an expression of neuronal differentiation markers. The degree of malignancy was

determined by Hyams grading.

Published: September 2021

Relevance: Patients with advanced malignant neoplasms require constant monitoring and care. Mobile palliative care (PC)

is one of the modern humanistic methods of supporting terminal cancer patients, as well as their relatives.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the demand and satisfaction of the population with in-home PC services for

cancer patients provided by mobile teams.

Results: According to WHO, the number of people who need PС services at the end of life is 20.4 million, of whom 94% are

adults (69% are over 60 years, 25% are at the age of 15 to 59), and 6% are children. 34% of patients dying from cancer need PC

services at the end of life. 80% of people in need of PC services live in lower-middle-income countries. At the end of 2018, the

total number of palliative beds deployed in the Republic of Kazakhstan amounted to 415 (vs 373 in 2017).

Conclusion: Given the practical relevance and topicality, there is an urgent need to develop evidence-based recommendations for optimizing the provision of PC services, as well as improving the quality of life of cancer patients.
