A CHEAPLY NON-DESTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUE TO ESTIMATE HONEY QUALITY: THERMAL IMAGING AND MACHINE LEARNING
Authors: Kibar Mustafa
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study was to estimate honey quality based on proline and Brix content using a thermal imaging and machine learning algorithm. The proline, Brix and color properties of twenty honey samples were determined. Proline and Brix values were classified and estimated using the classification and regression tree (CART) algorithm. The mean proline and Brix content in honey samples was 678.83±192.16 mg/kg and 83.2±0.79%, respectively. CART analysis revealed that high proline honey samples had L values above 48.143 and b* values below 35.416. In contrast, honey samples with low Brix values were characterized by L and a* values below 55.860 and 53.660, respectively, and were identified as freshly harvested. The CART algorithm classified the proline and Brix values with an accuracy of 95% and 100%, respectively (p< 0.001). As a result, whitish, bluish, blackish and greenish honeys are of higher quality due to high proline and low Brix content. However, to accurately assess honey quality based on its color traits, comprehensive studies with more honey samples and origin, are required.

Published: April 2024

The scientific article discusses problematic aspects of identifying and assessing risks at the stage of developing business plans. It was determined that changes in the economic environment of enterprises require the formation of new approaches and means of solving economic problems. One of the effective ways to solve this problem is to develop a business plan. This document should be considered both a management tool of the business entity and a means of attracting financing. The specifics of business planning are defined, the main reasons that lead to the development of a business plan are considered.

It is noted that risks are an important element that must be paid attention to in business planning. The interpretation of the term "risk" in the scientific literature is generalized. It was determined that the presence of risk in the business plan is a forming factor of uncertainty. The study points to the presence of risks as a mandatory and undeniable element of enterprise activity in modern conditions. Risk assessment is a mandatory structural element of a typical business plan.

It is indicated that each business plan is individual and unique. It is proposed to detail the risks not in a separate section "Risks", but in the section of the main sections of the business plan: market analysis, marketing plan, organizational plan and management, production plan, financial plan, which will allow group all existing risks, detail them and develop priority measures to neutralize them.

The main types of risks that may arise in the main sections of the business plan are revealed. It was determined that the systematization of types and groups of risks by sections is an important tool for their effective management, because it helps to choose individual approaches to assessment, measurement, forecasting and selection of response measures.

As a result, it is proposed to form an appropriate table of risks and means of their neutralization, which will allow to show the investor or an interested person that the applicant is informed and able to cope with the risks and threats of the project

Authors: Kulish Ganna , Chepka Viktoria , Bystranovska (Lyskovets) Julia
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to critically review and summarize the main world approaches to building Value Base Management and to substantiate, on this basis, recommendations for its implementation in the domestic practice of financial management.  The article describes the evolution of VBM development and conceptual approaches to corporate enterprise management. The objective necessity of transforming approaches to the management of corporate enterprises from traditional financial models to value-based management is substantiated. It is established that VBM is not only one of the main directions of improving the efficiency of management decisions, but also has a significant impact on the value of a corporate enterprise in the long term. The article proves that the use of the value-based concept of enterprise financial management implies the selection of appropriate methods and tools at all levels of management aimed at sustainable value reproduction.

The article considers the process of transformation of the VBM concept and its main elements. A comprehensive analysis of the main approaches and models to business valuation is presented. A comparative characterization of VBM and the traditional approach to corporate enterprise management is systematized and provided.

The generalization of the economic content of management theories has allowed to substantiate that VBM differs significantly from the previously accepted management criteria and is a more effective concept of equity management than other systems. It should be borne in mind that the value of an enterprise, on the one hand, is an indicator of its sustainable development, and on the other hand, it is a regulator of value distribution for various participants in economic relations, so, of course, the management mechanism should focus on the key factors of value creation
TAX RISK INSURANCE IN THE RISK INSURANCE SYSTEM: PROBLEMS OF THEORY AND PRACTICE IN UKRAINE
Authors: Chvertko Liudmyla
Published: April 2024

The article substantiates the theoretical and practical principles of organizing insurance protection of business entities against tax risks. It is proved that tax risk insurance is a necessary element of the enterprise strategy for managing risks associated with tax audits, tax disputes and other taxation risks. Tax risk insurance allows the insured to compensate for financial losses that may arise as a result of additional tax liabilities (including fines and penalties, if insured) due to errors or violations in tax returns or as a result of tax audits, as well as related court costs and legal defense costs. In general, tax insurance is an agreement between a taxpayer and an insurance company, under which the taxpayer, as the insured, pays a premium to the insurer, and the insurer undertakes to reimburse the taxpayer for losses that may be incurred by the taxpayer in the event of a successful appeal of the insured tax treatment. It is determined that in Ukraine this type of insurance has no clear legal definition and is practically not used by insurance companies. Ukrainian insurance companies may insure tax risks under insurance class 16, which provides insurance coverage for other financial risks associated with the probability of loss of funds, failure to receive (or partial failure to receive) income or profit, and other types of losses and expenses. It was established that the need to counteract risks forces business representatives to develop a special strategy of behavior using all possible risk management tools, among which, as international experience shows, tax risk insurance is of great importance. It has been proven that frequent changes in tax legislation, legal uncertainty and other objective and subjective factors require the introduction and development of tax insurance as an effective mechanism for protecting enterprises from tax risks

Authors: Gaudêncio Fabrício
Published: April 2024

To evaluate the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in chickens of ornamental breeds from a private farm located in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Fecal samples were collected from the animals individually, collecting the feces right after defecation. The collections were carried out in September 2018. The samples were packed in sterile plastic containers, identified and sent to the Laboratory of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases of the Centro Universitário de Valença (UNIFAA), for analysis by the simple centrifuge-float technique. Two genera of helminths, Capillaria spp. and Ascaridia spp., and the protozoan Eimeria spp. It can be concluded that the gastrointestinal parasites found in the ornamental chickens studied did not differ from the endoparasites found in conventional free-range chickens. Coproparasitological exams are an excellent, fast and cheap way to verify/identify parasitic forms, which, once diagnosed, must be fought so that they do not compromise the health of the animals, especially in cases of ornamental birds that, because they are less rustic, may be more sensitive to parasites.

Published: April 2024

All children, including those with various impairments and learning challenges, are entitled to education in regular schools, in response to the Salamanca Statement. Chinese authorities have demonstrated their commitment to inclusion through legislation, policy, and statements. The Chinese inclusive education paradigm has grown significantly over the last few decades. Nonetheless, research on the impact of Chinese teachers' efficacy in implementing inclusive practices in primary and secondary classrooms is limited. This cross-sectional study addresses this issue by evaluating 211 teachers in Beijing, Tianjin, Chengdu, and Qingdao, China. Quantitative data were collected from each participant using multiple regression analysis to examine the causal and effect between three predictors, efficacy in using inclusive instruction (EII), efficacy in collaboration (EC), and efficacy in managing behavior (EMB), on the inclusive practices as a criterion. The research results show that when teachers' EC is bolstered, an inclusive approach increases on the other side. This means that when teachers are more confident in their collaboration in inclusive education, they are more likely to adopt inclusive practices to support a diverse range of students better. As China's education system is still transforming, this finding has vital roles and implications for developing inclusive education policy and practice in China as educators interact with a more diverse student population.

The article is devoted to the coverage of educational activities in spe­cialized children's art institutions of Podillia in the second half of the twentieth century. Solving the complex tasks of integrating art educa­tion into the European educational space is impossible without a thor­ough study of one's own historical past, familiarization with the legacy of the teachers-artists who stood at the origins of art education in Podil­lia. The problem of educational activities in specialized children's art in­stitutions in Podillіa is quite urgent. In modern society, among educa­tional institutions that perform the educational and educational function of artistic direction at a high level, few can compete with the work of children's art schools. Art education in Podillіa has historical traditions and is important to study. The analysis of archival sources and periodi­cals of the studied period allows us to state that only from the second half of the XXth century. the first children's art schools appear in Podillіa, in particular Buchachska, Vinnytsia, Kamianets-Podilska, Khmelnytska and Ternopil. Research into the history of practical training in artistic educational institutions of Podillia showed that drawing, painting, com­position, sculpture, art history were key and were studied in all schools, which means that regardless of the settlement and the teaching staff, professional training was conducted at a high level. and all schools pro­duced highly qualified pupils and future artists. It has been proven that the main program tasks set by teachers of art schools included learning the basics of fine art, developing spiritual qualities and understanding beauty. The implementation of these tasks took place through tradi­tional and innovative forms and methods of education. Classes in the subjects «drawing», «painting», «composition» and «sculpture» were classes of artistic research, because the students acquired not only pro­fessional skills, but first of all, learned to think outside the box and fan­tasize. An equally important task for teachers of art schools was the de­velopment of imagination, creative thinking, visual memory of students, using a variety of art materials and techniques. It has been proven that the system of consistent development of art education was laid as the basis of education in schools, namely, the foundation was laid for the successive transmission of the traditions of a realistic depiction of the world to future generations, and the implementation of pre-professional training. It is proven that the main principle of the educational process – the unity of learning and creativity – was formed in the period under con­sideration. We consider the analysis of the formation and development of professional art education in Podillіа to be a perspective for further research.

Authors: Гавій В. М. , Приплавко С. О.
Published: April 2024

Робота присвячена дослідженню впливу тривалого зберігання на зміни біохімічних показників бульб картоплі сортів різної стиглості. За результатами досліджень було встановлено, що за показником крохмалистості бульби картоплі середньопізніх сортів різнились між собою: від 11,9 % у Гранади до 19 % у Королеви Анни. У групі середньостиглих сортів ця різниця була меншою – від 14,9 % у сорті Повінь до 17,5 % у Адретти. Найменша різниця у показниках вмісту крохмалю у бульбах картоплі середньоранніх сортів, показники яких варіювали від 12,9 % до 13,9 %. Зберігання протягом 9 місяців обумовлювало зміни крохмалистості бульб. Так, за 9 місяців досліджень, найбільші втрати спостерігались у групі середньопізніх – Королева Анна і склали 9,7%. Найменшими втратами крохмалю після 9 місяців зберігання характеризувалися сорти Гранада та Біла роса, що дає право рекомендувати дані сорти для вирощування з метою одержання крохмалю та спирту протягом всього сезону переробки. Вміст моносахаридів у бульбах картоплі сортів різних груп стиглості у процесі зберігання зростає. Так, при зберіганні бульб за температури 2–4 ºС вміст моносахаридів у групі середньоранніх у бульбах сорту Біла роса підвищився у 1,1 рази, а в бульбах сорту Рів’єра – у 1,3 рази. У групі середньостиглих сортів картоплі спостерігається збільшення моносахаридів у 1,1 рази у бульбах сорту Адретта та у 1,2 рази у бульбах сорту Повінь. Вміст моносахаридів у бульбах сорту Гранада збільшився у 1,1 рази, а у бульбах сорту Королева Анна – у 1,4 рази. При зберіганні протягом дев’яти місяців найбільш високим вмістом моносахаридів характеризується сорт Королева Анна. Бульби сорту Біла роса та Гранада, як на початку, так і в кінці дослідження, відрізнялися найменшою кількістю моносахаридів. Таким чином, у процесі зберігання спостерігається сортова залежність зміни біохімічного складу бульб картоплі сортів різної стиглості.

Authors: Codes Marta , Mosteiro Alejandra , Tafuto Roberto , Gomez Lorena , Matas Jessica , Alobid Isam , Lopez Mauricio , Prats-Galino Alberto , Enseñat Joaquim , Di Somma Alberto
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE

The endoscopic superior eyelid transorbital approach has garnered significant consideration and gained popularity in recent years. Detailed anatomical knowledge along with clinical experience has allowed refinement of the technique as well as expansion of its indications. Using bone as a consistent reference, the authors identified five main bone pillars that offer access to the different intracranial targeted areas for different pathologies of the skull base, with the aim of enhancing the understanding of the intracranial areas accessible through this corridor.

METHODS

The authors present a bone-oriented review of the anatomy of the transorbital approach in which they conducted a 3D analysis using Brainlab software and performed dry skull and subsequent cadaveric dissections.

RESULTS

Five bone pillars of the transorbital approach were identified: the lesser sphenoid wing, the sagittal crest (medial aspect of the greater sphenoid wing), the anterior clinoid, the middle cranial fossa, and the petrous apex. The associations of these bone targets with their respective intracranial areas are reported in detail.

CONCLUSIONS

Identification of consistent bone references after the skin incision has been made and the working space is determined allows a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the approach in order to safely and effectively perform transorbital endoscopic surgery in the skull base.

Authors: Jeon Chiman , Chong Kyuha , Shin Hyung Jin , Kong Doo-Sik
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE

In this study, the authors aimed to describe the endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) in children.

METHODS

Six pediatric patients (2 girls and 4 boys) underwent the ETOA for paramedian skull base lesions at a single institution between September 2016 and February 2023.

RESULTS

The median age at the time of surgery was 7.5 (range 4–18) years. The median follow-up period was 33 (range 9–60) months. In this series, the ETOA level of difficulty included stage 1 (n = 2, 33.3%), stage 3 (n = 3, 50%), and stage 5 (n = 1, 16.7%). The ETOA was performed for tumor resection in 4 cases; the final pathology consisted of fibrous dysplasia, pilocytic astrocytoma, metastatic neuroblastoma, and choroid plexus papilloma. The procedure was also performed for repair of a petrous apex meningocele and for lateral orbital wall decompression of traumatic lateral rectus muscle entrapment. One patient experienced a transient cranial nerve III palsy after the procedure. There were no operative deaths in this series.

CONCLUSIONS

In select cases, the ETOA can be considered a minimally invasive alternative for conventional skull base approaches in the armamentarium of pediatric skull base surgery. Further investigation and the accumulation of experience are warranted in the future to enhance the efficacy and applicability of the ETOA in pediatric patients.

OBJECTIVE

Eyebrow supraorbital craniotomy is a versatile keyhole technique for treating intracranial pathologies. The eyelid supraorbital approach, an alternative approach to an eyebrow supraorbital craniotomy, has not been widely adopted among most neurosurgeons. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to perform a pooled analysis of the complications of eyebrow or eyelid approaches for the treatment of aneurysms, meningiomas, and orbital tumors.

METHODS

A systematic review of the literature in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Review databases was conducted for identifying relevant literature using keywords such as "supraorbital," "eyelid," "eyebrow," "tumor," and "aneurysm." Eyebrow supraorbital craniotomies with or without orbitotomies and eyelid supraorbital craniotomies with orbitotomies for the treatment of orbital tumors, intracranial meningiomas, and aneurysms were selected. The primary outcomes were overall complications, cosmetic complications, and residual aneurysms and tumors. Secondary outcomes included five complication domains: orbital, wound-related, scalp or facial, neurological, and other complications.

RESULTS

One hundred three articles were included in the synthesis. The pooled numbers of patients in the eyebrow and eyelid groups were 4689 and 358, respectively. No differences were found in overall complications or cosmetic complications between the eyebrow and eyelid groups. The proportion of residuals in the eyelid group (11.21%, effect size [ES] 0.26, 95% CI 0.12–0.41) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in the eyebrow group (6.17%, ES 0.10, 95% CI 0.08–0.13). A subgroup analysis demonstrated significantly higher incidences of orbital, wound-related, and scalp or facial complications in the eyelid group (p < 0.05), but higher other complications in the eyebrow group. Performing an orbitotomy substantially increased the complication risk.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first meta-analysis that quantitatively compared complications of eyebrow versus eyelid approaches to supraorbital craniotomy. This study found similar overall complication rates but higher rates of selected complication domains in the eyelid group. The literature is limited by a high degree of variability in the reported outcomes.
MIS technique for separation surgery in lumbar spine metastatic disease

Published: April 2024

Around 40% of cancer patients present with spinal metastases (SM), the lumbar spine being the second most involved site (15%–30%) after the thoracic (60%–80%). Since the development of separation surgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has increasingly been applied to approach SM, mirroring benefits yielded in the degenerative realm. Moreover, preoperative embolization potentially enhances local control for certain radioresistant histologies. Carbon fiber–reinforced PEEK hardware reduces image artifact, facilitating more accurate follow-up and radiotherapeutic planning. Additionally, short-segment cement-augmented constructs may be beneficial to decrease surgical morbidity and operative risk in this population. The authors present a lumbar spinal metastasis treated with MIS techniques.

Published: April 2024

Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rare solid neoplasm developing from neural crest cells of sympathetic ganglia or adrenal medulla. It usually presents as an asymptomatic mass in the retroperitoneal space and mediastinum. Resection through open surgery or minimal access is recommended. The video illustrates the case of a 23-year-old female with an incidental finding of thoracic GN. The authors performed a combined, staged approach to ensure complete resection, which involved unilateral T3–4 biportal endoscopy (UBE) for rhizotomy and nerve root decompression, followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for complete excision. The procedure was uneventful, with full recovery and no postoperative complications.

Introduction: Understanding the post-discharge outcomes of COVID-19 patients is essential for informed healthcare planning and support services. This study aimed to assess the physical health status of COVID-19 patients three months after discharge from a tertiary care hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Methods: A descriptive follow-up study design was used, involving 200 COVID-19 discharged patients. Data were collected from healthcare facilities and participants through structured questionnaires and telephonic interviews. The study duration was between November 2020 to April 2021.
Results: Persistence of COVID-19-related symptoms was reported by 49 (24.50%) of participants reported at follow-up, while 41 (20.50%) indicated previous symptoms from discharge.
Conclusions: After discharge, most of patient returned to normal activities within three months.Persistence of symptoms and test positive rate was less in those patients.
Medical Student Syndrome and Imposter Syndrome: Are They Real?
Authors: Devkota Deekshya
Published: April 2024

Medical Student Syndrome and imposter syndrome are rampant in the medical profession, especially among young medical students. Medical Student Syndrome, also known as the third-year syndrome is a hypochondriacal concern in inexperienced medical students regarding the disease they are studying. Usually, it arises as a result of incomplete knowledge about the disease and regular exposure to new information about diseases. Imposter syndrome, on the other hand, refers to the behavioral pattern where medical students doubt their abilities and are constantly afraid of being exposed as a fraud. Imposter syndrome might occur due to unrealistic expectations in this highly competitive medical profession.

Introduction: Workplace violence in hospitals is a global concern and is considered as a major occupational hazard for all health care providers including the nurses. The aim of this study was to assess the status of workplace violence against nurses at hospitals in Kathmandu and determine the actions taken to investigate its cause.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenient sample of 100 registered nurses employed in Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital, and Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital. All eligible nurses who were willing to participate irrespective of their academic fulfilment, from all different shifts and of age below 45 years were included. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS software. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC) of Nepal Medical College and Kathmandu Medical College.Results: Among 100 participants, the prevalence of workplace violence was 72 (72%) (62.13-80.52, 95% Confidence Interval). Verbal abuse accounted to 50 (69.44%), followed by physical violence accounting 17 (23.61%). Action was taken to investigate the causes of both physical violence 5 (29.41%) and verbal abuse 2 (4%) by the hospital administration 3 (60%) in physical violence and 2 (100%) in verbal abuse and police 2 (40%) in physical violence.Conclusions: The study reveals a troubling reality, as the vast majority of nurses reported experiencing various forms of violence in their workplace. So, addressing this issue immediately could protect nurses' well-being and ensure quality care which benefits both healthcare professionals and patients.
