Ocena użyteczności pisma Braille’a w kontekscie poprawy dostępności informacji, zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa i zaspokojenia potrzeb komunikacyjnych konsumentów z dysfunkcją wzroku
Authors: Trojnar Kamil , Tereszkiewicz Krzysztof
Published: November 2023

Problem dysfunkcji wzroku w Polsce dotyczy blisko 2 mln osób, dla których jednym z głównych narzędzi komunikacji jest alfabet Braille’a. Karta Osób Niepełnosprawnych oraz Konstytucja RP gwarantują prawo do niezależnego, samodzielnego i aktywnego życia. Celem artykułu była ocena użyteczności alfabetu Braille’a ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem druku informacji na opakowaniach produktów spożywczych mających zapewnić bezpieczeństwo konsumentów. Badania ankietowe przeprowadzono wśród osób z dysfunkcją wzroku zamieszkujących Rzeszów i powiat rzeszowski. Badania wykazały, że napisy alfabetem Braille'a w przestrzeni publicznej są niewystarczające a stosowanie tego typu napisów na opakowaniach produktów umożliwiłoby wygodne, bezpieczne i niezależne korzystanie z produktów spożywczych oraz ułatwiło funkcjonowanie i samodzielne zaopatrywanie się.

Postępowania sprawdzające w świetle ustawy o ochronie informacji niejawnych jako zagrożenie dla niezależności Najwyższej Izby Kontroli oraz bezpieczeństwa politycznego państwa
Authors: Zapart Robert
Published: November 2023

W artykule podjęto problematykę niezależności od władzy wykonawczej organów kontrolujących jej publiczne działania. Jedną z instytucji, dzięki której obywatele oraz ich przedstawiciele we władzy ustawodawczej mogą uzyskać wiedzę o stanie państwa jest Najwyższa Izba Kontroli. Wiodącym problemem badawczym, z którym się zmierzono była próba uzyskania odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy i w jakim stopniu NIK może pozostawać w swoich działaniach bezstronna z uwagi na konieczność przestrzegania ustawy o ochronie informacji niejawnych. Szczególna uwaga ogniskowała się wokół powiązanych z nim spraw zagrożeń ograniczenia niezależności pracowników Izby z powodu konieczności poddania się postępowaniu sprawdzającemu realizowanemu przez podległą władzy wykonawczej Agencję Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego. Ta ostatnia podlega zwrotnie przeprowadzanym przez NIK działaniom kontrolnym. Autor udowadnia w artykule, że wskazane kontrowersje z tym związane są następstwem wygodnych dla sprawujących władze braków legislacyjnych pozwalających w sposób praktycznie niedostrzegalny dla społeczeństwa ograniczać mu dostęp do obiektywnych informacji o ich działaniach w sferze bezpieczeństwa państwa i porządku publicznego, wpływając tym samym na podejmowane przez niego cyklicznie podczas wyborów decyzje zarządcze. W konkluzji zaproponowano, że aby uniknąć wskazanych zagrożeń dla demokratycznego państwa prawa w zakresie chronionych ustawą o informacji niejawnej przestrzeniach należałoby rozważyć wprowadzenie stosownych zmian legislacyjnych. Jedną z nich byłaby możliwość przeprowadzania przez NIK wewnętrznych postępowań sprawdzających i kontrolnych postępowań sprawdzających w przypadku dostępu do informacji o najwyższych klauzulach, „tajne” i „ściśle tajne”, z wyłączeniem jej kierownictwa, które mogłoby w tym względzie podlegać decyzjom Prezydium Sejmu. Dłuższe utrzymywanie obecnych rozwiązań może mieć w przyszłości niekorzystne konsekwencje dla bezpieczeństwa państwa i jego porządku publicznego.
Nowoczesne samorządy potrzebują mediów społecznościowych? O wykorzystywaniu nowych mediów przez jednostki samorządu terytorialnego na przykładzie województwa śląskiego
Authors: Kornacka-Grzonka Monika
Published: November 2023

W artykule przeanalizowano internetowe kanały komunikacyjne jednostek samorządu terytorialnego województwa śląskiego w 2023 r. Głównym celem było ukazanie, w jakim stopniu jednostki samorządu terytorialnego korzystają z nowych mediów i jak radzą sobie z wykorzystaniem ich potencjału, a także, czy prasa samorządowa zostaje wyparta z lokalnych rynków medialnych. Za pomocą ilościowej i jakościowej analizy zawartości stwierdzono, że głównymi kanałami komunikacyjnymi samorządów są Facebook oraz prasa samorządowa. Pozostałe media społecznościowe (YouTube, Instagram czy Twitter) mają charakter wyraźnie wielkomiejski. Władze samorządowe nie wykorzystują potencjału nowych mediów; treści publikowane w mediach społecznościowych nie są interaktywne, nie zachęcają do debaty, a tym samym nie budują społeczeństwa uczestniczącego.

Authors: Leśniczak Rafał
Published: November 2023

Celem podjętej analizy jest próba określenia stanowiska redakcji ogólnopolskiego tygodnika katolickiego „Niedziela” w sprawach dotyczących ogólnej sytuacji geopolitycznej po wybuchu wojny na Ukrainie w 2022 r. Materiał badawczy stanowiły drukowane wersje periodyku od 27.02.2022 do 24.04.2022. Wykorzystano metodę analizy zawartości, uzupełnioną o element hermeneutyczny. Tygodnik katolicki „Niedziela” potwierdził oficjalne komunikaty KEP dotyczące sytuacji politycznej po agresji Rosji na Ukrainę w 2022 roku, legitymizował stanowisko premiera Morawieckiego w zakresie prowadzonej przez rząd Zjednoczonej Prawicy polityki bezpieczeństwa i polityki zagranicznej. Periodyk uwierzytelnił stanowisko Stolicy Apostolskiej i papieża Franciszka w sprawie inwazji Rosji na Ukrainę. Podjęte badania zwiększają wartość poznawczą w obszarze komunikowania politycznego Konferencji Episkopatu Polski za pośrednictwem prasy katolickiej.
Ku wolności i samospełnieniu człowieka. Zarys antropologii filozoficznej Karola Wojtyły
Authors: Mizdrak Inga
Published: November 2023

Naczelną tezą w niniejszej próbie rekonstrukcji antropologii Karola Wojtyły jest stwierdzenie, iż doświadczenie wolności jest fundamentalne w doświadczeniu człowieka, ale jednocześnie stanowi źródło dla spełnienia jednostki. Wolność zasadza się na podstawowym akcie woli: „chcę” oraz na centralnym doświadczeniu: „mogę”. Te dwa aspekty doświadczenia wolności okażą się dla Wojtyły potwierdzeniem tezy o stawaniu się człowieka jakimś (dobrym lub złym) i poświadczeniem podstawowych dynamizmów, które mimo złożoności, ukażą człowieka jako syntezę i jedność ich wszystkich. Wybór rozważań antropologicznych Wojtyły, jakiego dokonano w niniejszym studium, ma na celu z jednej strony ukazanie przestrzeni, w jakiej wolność i wola człowieka konstytuują się i urzeczywistniają, a z drugiej odsłonięcie wymiaru samospełnienia się ufundowanego w wolności osoby. Podstawowe stanowisko, jakie zaprezentowano w opracowaniu, zawiera w sobie tezę o twórczym włączeniu się Karola Wojtyły we współczesny spór o człowieka.

Authors: Manilal R , Jairam V
Published: November 2023

In the study reported on here we looked at experiences of parental involvement in schools in Phoenix, KwaZulu-Natal. The objectives of the study were to determine how parents were involved in schools and what their experiences were. The study was guided by Epstein’s Theory of Overlapping Spheres. A qualitative research approach within an interpretivist paradigm was followed. A multiple case design was used and the schools were drawn from privileged and underprivileged contexts in Phoenix. The methodology employed to generate data was the semi-structured interview, followed by an open-ended questionnaire completed by the participants. The sample of participants comprised 3 parents and 3 teachers from each of the 2 schools. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings show that parents from both privileged and underprivileged communities were concerned about and employed a variety of strategies to get involved in their children’s education, both academically and socially. Although parents from both schools participated in school events, the level of their participation differed, with the parents from the privileged schools being more involved than parents from the underprivileged school.
Charakter członkostwa w samorządach zawodowych w świetle artykułu 17 ustęp 1 Konstytucji RP
Authors:   Uniwersytet Technologiczno-Humanistyczny im. K. Pułaskiego w Radomiu, Smarż Joanna
Published: November 2023

The nature of compulsory membership in professional self-governments associating persons covered by the obligation of public trust is a fact that is questioned from time to time. Opponents of obligatory membership, however, find it difficult to argue for the identification of membership. According to art. 17 sec. 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the basic opinion of professional self-governments is to supervise the proper performance of the profession by their members, which they do on behalf of the state, in the public interest. Therefore, in order to be able to fully perform this supervision, professional self-overnments should be equipped with an authoritative function in relation to all persons covered by the profession on equal terms. The aim of the article is to justify the obligatory membership in the professional self-government using dogmatic and legal methods.
Kadencyjność Prezesa Narodowego Banku Polskiego w Zarządzie Banku Centralnego w Polsce – regulacje konstytucyjne i ustawowe
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, Kraś Ireneusz
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the composition of the NBP Management Board in terms of its diversity in terms of the number of terms of office in this body of the President of the Central Bank of Poland. The paper presents constitutional and statutory regulations stating that the President of NBP cannot be treated as a member of the Management Board of NBP. It points to the constitutional separation of these two bodies. It draws attention to the method of appointing the President of the NBP and the Management Board of the NBP and the prohibition of combining the functions of the President of the NBP with the mandate of a Member of Parliament. Statutory regulations boil down primarily to regulations proving a clear differentiation of the NBP Management Board into the Chairman, i. e. the President of the NBP and members. This means that the President of NBP not being a member of the Management Board of NBP has different terms of office with respect to the members of the Management Board. The article points to different requirements regarding membership of a political party, the very method of appointment or taking a solemn oath by the President of the NBP.

Published: November 2023

The study aims to analyze the key formal and extralegal elements affecting the functioning of the office of president in Brazil. The subject of consideration is the political position of the president resulting from the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of October 5, 1988, and the socioultural dependencies occurring in this country. The thesis of the article is the statement that the power of the President of Brazil results not only from the provisions of the Constitution but also from unconstitutional dependence on pressure groups, i.e. the bureaucratic state – estamento burocrático. It is stated that the features of the Brazilian presidential system are the ostensibility of formal structures and the presence of political patronage, the lack of permanent political divisions, coalitional presidentialism, and the interpenetration of politics and the media due to ownership relations.
The Jordanian Issue of National Self-Identification – the Perspective of the Jordanian National Charter and Basic Laws from 1923 and 1947
Authors:   University of Rzeszów, Wróblewski Bartosz
Published: November 2023

Jordan is an Arab state that commenced its existence in 1921 as the Emirate of Transjordan. Its establishment resulted from a political game between the British and prince Abdullah from the House of Hashemite. The only justification for a separate state with the capital in Amman was the reign of the Hashemites in this area. In 1991, during democratization of the kingdom’s political system, the Jordanian National Charter was proclaimed. This document summarized the postulates and opinions of the Jordanian society. The analysis of selected passages from the Charter indicates complete dominance of pan-Arab thought among the authors of the text. It is also necessary to indicate frailty of Jordanian identity, despite several decades of the state’s existence. The article indicates the abovementioned dependencies and the fact that the dynasty authority remains the primary aspect of distinctiveness.

Published: November 2023

Introdução: A força muscular (FM) tem sido amplamente estudada como um importante marcador de saúde, especialmente em indivíduos mais velhos. Manter os níveis de força muscular adequados é fundamental para a independência funcional do indivíduo na realização de atividades do cotidiano. A identificação de indivíduos e populações com inadequação de FM configura-se como importante diagnóstico de saúde e pode subsidiar intervenções em saúde. Objetivo: Verificar a associação das características sociodemográficas, de estilo de vida e uso de inibidores de bomba de prótons (IBP) com a força de preensão palmar (FPP) de adultos e idosos provenientes de Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Londrina, Paraná́. Métodos: Neste estudo transversal de 2019, participaram 122 indivíduos com 35 anos ou mais, homens e mulheres, oriundos das Unidades Básicas de Saúde da área urbana do município de Londrina – PR, os dados foram coletados no ano de 2019 por meio de formulário, entrevista e dinamômetro manual, para análise foi realizado uma regressão linear de Poisson para verificar prevalência. Resultados: Este estudo envolveu 122 participantes e explorou a relação entre características sociodemográficas, estilo de vida, uso de omeprazol e força de preensão palmar (FPP) em adultos e idosos. Os resultados mostraram que os valores de FPP eram menores em indivíduos mais velhos, mulheres e com menor escolaridade, enquanto indivíduos casados e não empregados formalmente tinham valores de força mais altos. Não foram encontradas associações estatisticamente significativas entre a FPP e a presença de doenças pregressas. Conclusão: O conhecimento dessas variáveis possibilita identificar grupos mais suscetíveis a apresentar força muscular reduzida, um indicador de saúde global que pode subsidiar futuras intervenções em saúde.
Case-control and case-cohort study designs: methodological considerations
Authors: Sousa Artur Iuri Alves de , Duarte Elisabeth Carmen
Published: November 2023

The "case-control" study is not a homogeneous entity in epidemiology. This article presents a narrative review of characteristics that differentiate "traditional case-control", "population-based case-control", "nested case-control", and "case-cohort" studies. The use of a secondary basis for the choice of controls makes case-control studies particularly vulnerable to selection biases and limits the representativeness of the control group relative to the study population base. The choice of prevalent cases, although useful for maximizing statistical power, undermines the interpretation of associations since determinants of incidence are mixed with determinants of disease duration. "Nested case-control" and "case-cohort" studies partly overcome these limitations because they are based on a true cohort and often use incident cases. "Case-cohort" studies give emphasis to the contrast between case exposure experience and population-based exposure experience, providing additional benefits when there is temporal matching between cases and the reference group. This article provides insights into the methodological arsenal of case-control studies and highlights some of the methodologies discussed - particularly those in which controls are included - favors the use of secondary databases without the need for a key variable that correlates them.
Abogados y política: Análisis de la participación de estudios de abogados en la segunda vuelta de la campaña electoral peruana
Authors: Quiñonez Oré Héctor Daniel
Published: November 2023

Objetivo: El presente artículo de investigación busca indagar cuál ha sido el rol que los estudios de abogados cumplieron en la presentación de recursos de nulidad que tuvieron por finalidad anular los resultados de la segunda vuelta electoral nacional promovidas por el partido político Fuerza Popular. Desde un aspecto teórico se realiza un análisis de las principales investigaciones socio-jurídicas e interdisciplinarias sobre la profesión legal y de los principales marcos teóricos que justifican su estudio e impacto en el campo jurídico, resaltando su relación con el estado de derecho y la democracia en contextos de polarización política. Método: En el plano metodológico a través del análisis de discurso y contenidos, así como de las técnicas de framing de la cobertura mediática realizada por los medios de comunicación, se evalúa las implicancias políticas y sociales de la presentación de los recursos de nulidad elaborados por los estudios de abogados. Resultados: Producto del análisis realizado, se observa que la presentación de recursos de nulidad formulados por el Partido Fuerza Popular tuvo la participación de estudios de abogados, quienes diseñaron una estrategia legal a efectos de cuestionar los resultados de las elecciones nacionales, asumiendo una participación no solo meramente técnica, sino ante todo política. Conclusiones: Se concluye que la participación de los estudios de abogados no puede ser entendida como una intervención meramente técnica, debido a que la impugnación de resultados electorales y el desconocimiento de la victoria de la candidatura ganadora constituye una afectación a la calidad democrática que atenta contra el estado de derecho y la institucionalidad política y legal del país.

Authors: Gonzalo Quiroga Marta
Published: November 2023

La industria de la moda es un sector globalizado en constante desarrollo, evolución y cambio. Su importancia social y económica es incuestionable, tanto nacional como internacionalmente, así como las abundantes relaciones jurídicas -de lo más variadas, originales y heterogéneas- que surgen en el Derecho de la Moda, o Fashion Law, con independencia de su marco de actuación. En este contexto, el Derecho Internacional Privado (DIPr) desempeña un papel crucial en su regulación, sistemática y gestión de sus conflictos. A la vez que se enfrenta a varias cuestiones que ponen a prueba su capacidad de integrar una gran pluralidad de ámbitos materiales, procesales y jurídicos diversos. En este contexto, el objetivo de este artículo es el de analizar y sistematizar metodológicamente el Derecho de la Moda en el marco del DIPr, examinando las soluciones, tanto judiciales como extrajudiciales que ofrece en un marco internacionalizado. Para ello se usará un método científico asentado en diversas bases legislativas, documentales, bibliográficas e inteligencia artificial, como novedad. El resultado, ha dado lugar a la creación de seis tablas y cuatro gráficos que resumen las principales propuestas de esta investigación. Conclusiones que recorren desde aquellas judiciales más relevantes en los tres sectores clásicos del DIPr -jurisdicción competente, derecho aplicable, y reconocimiento y ejecución de sentencias extranjeras relacionadas con la moda-; hasta aquellas extrajudiciales proporcionadas por los Métodos Alternativos -Adecuados- de Solución de Conflictos (MASC) aplicados a este sector, analizando sus últimas tendencias hacía un diseño universal y globalizador.

Authors: P Arun Balaji , S Naveen Venkatesh , V Sugumaran
Published: November 2023

The suspension system plays a critical role in vehicles, providing both comfort and directional control. Therefore, it is essential to implement a monitoring system to ensure the proper functioning of suspension components, as a failure in any of these components can lead to accidents. Furthermore, monitoring the condition of the suspension system helps in maintaining its performance and minimizes maintenance costs. Traditionally, diagnosing faults in suspension systems has relied on specialized setups and vibration analysis. Alternatively, deep learning-based approaches for fault diagnosis in suspension systems offer a promising solution by enabling faster and more accurate real-time fault detection. This study investigated the use of vision transformers as an innovative approach to fault diagnosis in suspension systems, leveraging spectrogram images. Spectrogram images from vibration signals were extracted and used as inputs for the vision transformer model. Test results showcased a remarkable 99.39% accuracy in fault identification, affirming the system's effectiveness.
Distrust Profiles: Identifying the Factors That Shape Journalism’s Credibility Crisis
Authors: Ksiazek Thomas B. , Kim Su Jung , Nelson Jacob L. , Park Ahran , Patankar Sushobhan , Sabalaskey Olivia , Taneja Harsh
Published: November 2023

Trust in news is declining globally and has been for some time a phenomenon that has been amplified in the context of a global pandemic, the rise in anti-media populism, and social and political unrest. Overall, public trust in journalism remains low (44% globally), according to the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2021. Building on a growing body of research on predictors of (dis)trust among news audiences, this study examines survey data from the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2021 to explore distrust profiles—comparative profiles of users based on their relative distrust in news in general, news they consume, and news accessed through digital intermediaries like social and search—across distinct news environments: India, South Korea, and the US. We conclude that, across all three countries, there are large segments who either trust everything or distrust everything, suggesting a trust polarization phenomenon. Moreover, the results identify segments of swing trusters, users who trust some news and distrust other types but do not indicate a blanket tendency to trust or distrust everything. Normative expectations about the institution of journalism (i.e., folk theories) seem to be the most powerful factors in explaining the relative likelihood of membership in all profiles, where expectations regarding impartiality, concern about fake news, and fair coverage were important indicators of (dis)trust, with varying degrees depending on the media, political, and technological contexts in which they are situated. These findings suggest that to regain trust, journalists should consider how they can change people’s folk theories when it comes to news by comprehensively taking into account the unique trajectory of a given country’s media system.

Insulin resistance may impact organs that transmit insulin signals, like skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and the liver. Hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia in the fasting state of type 2 diabetes mellitus are more significantly impacted by insulin resistance in the liver. Hypertriglyceridemia is the culprit behind beta-cell failure in type 2 diabetes. Treating insulin resistance in liver as a primary mechanism of traditional antidiabetic drugs, but unfortunately traditional drugs has unalterable advisory effect. In the present research, insulin resistance in the liver is addressed with the versatile natural phytonutrient beta-caryophyllene to demonstrate effectiveness in managing diabetes. An effective dose of -Caryophyllene taken by non-parental route (200 mg/kg b.wt) was given for 30 days to experimentally induced (high-fat diet and fructose-fed) type-2 diabetic rats to find out whether β-Caryophyllene regulates the IRS-2/akt pathway of insulin signaling. In the liver of diabetic rats, the data demonstrates that ß-caryophyllene treatment significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of insulin receptor (IR) and GLUT-2. However, there was a significant variation in the mRNA expression of akt and insulin receptor-substrate-2 (IRS-2) between groups. Taking caryophyllene supplements can be beneficial for the control of type 2 diabetes. Studies conducted with this sesquiterpene could have tremendous potential and benefit for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Proteases are the enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins and they are widely used industrial enzymes. The present paper reports the applications of alkaline protease from Bacillus cereus strain S8 in different industrial sectors. The protease was optimally active at pH 10. 0 and temperature 700C. This enzyme has been used as an alternative for conventional chemical treatments for dehairing of goat skins, chitin recovery from shrimp waste, silk degumming agent and as well as in detergent formulations. Thus, this protease is ecofriendly by reducing the pollution load by replacing conventional chemical methods. The deproteinization activity of Bacillus cereus strain S8 protease was better than many proteases reported due to its thermostability and its activity at alkaline pH. The percentage of protein removal from natural shrimp waste was 87% after 3 h of incubation at 70°C. The protease is effective as silk degumming agent as it promotes sericin hydrolysis with 19% weight loss of treated silk threads. Silk degumming is a very essential step for the removal of sericin protein from silk fibers for giving it shine and softness. The protease is also effective and profitable in dehairing of goat skins by promoting fine leather without affecting its quality as evidenced by Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) micrographs. Due to its unique properties it also compatible with various detergent formulations in industrial sector. These results suggest that the alkaline protease from Bacillus cereus strain S8 is significant in the industry from the prospects of its ability to withstand harsh conditions in various industrial applications.

The WHO Decade of Healthy Ageing 2020–2030: a policy conception review in the gerontology context
Authors: Golubeva Elena Yu. , Soloviev Andrey G.
Published: November 2023

This article is a review of the key international documents within the conceptual framework of the “Decade of Healthy Aging 2020–2030” by the World Health Organization (WHO). The aim was to identify potential areas of research in gerontosocial policy in Russia. The methodology employed in this study involved a comprehensive examination of the WHO’s strategic directions for the “Decade of Healthy Aging 2020–2030,” as well as relevant global documents from both the WHO and the United Nations. Additionally, federal sources on population aging policy implemented in the past five years were also considered. In total, 16 texts containing the term “Healthy Aging (Longevity)” in their title or full text, along with 2 texts specifically focused on “Healthy Aging (Longevity) policy,” were sourced from the electronic scientific database eLIBRARY.RU.
The evolution of conceptual approaches to population aging policy within the global community is examined in the context of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) global documents. This analysis encompasses changing attitudes, opinions, and behaviors towards age and aging, as well as empower older individuals in local communities. Additionally, we explored the importance of personalized comprehensive and primary healthcare that caters to the specific needs of older people, as well as ensuring their access to long-term care. Furthermore, this study identifies the points of contact and synergy between scientific activities focused on the Decade of Aging, UN goals, and other gerontological policy documents. By doing so, we attempted to establish a comprehensive understanding of the conceptual and practical approaches to Healthy Aging policy within both Russian and international research communities.
The WHO concept of Healthy Aging has highlighted the need for a paradigm shift in the way we approach the medical and social services provided to the elderly. This shift calls for a personalized and coordinated care model, as well as a greater emphasis on the development of long-term care solutions. Research has consistently shown that the integration of medical, psychological, social, environmental, and economic support, is important in establishing a solid foundation for comprehensive information exchange. This integration is essential in ensuring the provision of effective services that can effectively support the elderly throughout their Healthy Aging process.

A systematic review was performed in PubMed using the following keywords monofocal IOLs, monofocal IOLs with extended depth of focus (sharpness), EDOF, cataract phacoemulsification, visual acuity, and quality of life. Studies were selected in accordance with the criteria for prospective or retrospective studies. In a comparative analysis of clinical efficacy, the results of binocular IOL implantation and lens material from the same manufacturer were analyzed as the main sources. In total, 234 studies were analyzed using systematic review filters and authors knowledge of the topic. The duration of the retrospective analysis was 8 years (20172023). A total of 234 papers were analyzed over the last 8 years (20172023), further using systematic review filters and the authors knowledge of the topic.
Data obtained indicated that traditional monofocal IOLs acted like bifocal lenses because they formed two main focal points for far and near vision, which did not provide the required level of visual acuity at an intermediate distance. The basic optical principle of EDOF (extended depth of focus) was to create a focal point for distance vision and an elongated focal point to increase the depth of field near and at intermediate distances. The results of the literature analysis indicated that the use of EDOF (compared with monofocal IOL) was associated with a higher level of visual acuity at intermediate and near distances and comparable distance visual acuity and increased depth of field, which generally provides a more natural range of vision and less use of glasses. Light phenomena, spectacle independence, and patient satisfaction were comparable among EDOF types.
Given the above advantages, EDOF implantation can be considered a variant of an individual approach to the selection of IOLs, taking into account the possibility of using it in patients whose professional activity is associated with long-term visual work at intermediate distances (e.g., users of personal computers). In the context of the role and place of EDOF in the general system of aphakia correction following cataract phacoemulsification, further accumulation of clinical material is necessary, taking into account the IOL model and patients professional visual activity level.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: The number of people with multimorbidity has been steadily increasing in recent years. In patients with bronchial asthma, the level of control and cytokine profile with markers of fat metabolism may depend on body mass index and the presence of multimorbidity.
AIM: To assess the relationships of disease control level, cytokine profile, adiponectins and oxidant stress level in asthma patients depending on body mass index and multimorbidity
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with asthma (n = 237) were divided into 3 groups depending on body mass index. We analyzed multimorbid pathology, assessed asthma control according to Asthma Control Questionnaire-5; determined interleukin-6, -4, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, degree of oxidative damage to biomolecules, antioxidant capacity of serum, leptin, adiponectin levels. Statistical analysis: Microsoft Excel, Statistica 12.0, Statgraphics XVIII.
RESULTS: There were significantly more (p 0.05) comorbidities among the obese and asthma patients. The levels of leptin, resistin, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and degree of oxidative damage to biomolecules were significantly higher in the obese group. Direct correlations were found between body mass index, cumulative pathology rating scale, Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 and interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, degree of oxidative damage to biomolecules, leptin, and resistin control levels of asthma. An inverse correlation with adiponectin was detected with body mass index.
CONCLUSIONS: Authentic increase of adipokins and anti-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress indexes and decrease of anti-inflammatory effects of adiponectin are noted in patients with asthma and obese patients. Multimorbidity further contributes to the development of systemic inflammation in patients with asthma. Obesity and multimorbidity are factors complicating the achievement of asthma control.

In the article, on the example of a clinical case, a variant of the course of severe acute autoimmune hepatitis type II in a 20-year-old woman is analyzed. The prevalence of this disease are presented. Possible types of autoimmune hepatitis course are discussed. The main diagnostic criteria that indicate the likelihood of autoimmune hepatitis and the tactics of managing these patients are described.
This clinical case demonstrates that in the absence of epidemiological, anamnestic data indicating a possible viral or toxic liver damage, it is necessary to think and exclude autoimmune liver damage. It is believed that the level of gamma globulin exceeding more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal and the absence of viral hepatitis are independent predictors of the presence of autoimmune hepatitis, and the earlier immunosuppressive therapy is started, the more favorable the prognosis of the disease.
