Different Light Theatre:
Authors: McCaffrey Tony
Published: November 2022

Learning-disabled theatre is often perceived as giving a voice to the voiceless or empowering those marginalised in society. But how can this voice and power avoid becoming co-opted by neoliberal, racial, colonial capital merely to produce the entitled, self-possessed, autonomous individuals that late capitalism needs, but the production of which is destroying the planet? Does the political efficacy of this work consist in the mere presence of learning-disabled artists in these contexts, or is it not rather in the negotiation of the terms of their presence and participation? Interesting answers to these questions emerge in the exploration of the multimodal negotiation of voice, presence, representation and mediation in learning-disabled performance as performance.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric complex that is made up of α-, β- and γ- subunits isoforms making up various isomers. AMPK has been shown to improve catabolic ATP-generating pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target. Studies have shown that different AMPK isomers are predominant in different tissues. However, determination of the predominant isomer in adipose tissue remains obscure. The goal of this study is to identify the AMPK isomers present in human subcutaneous adipose tissues comparing between lean and overweight/obese subjects. Total RNA from post-mortem subcutaneous adipose tissue was extracted and its quantity and integrity were evaluated using a bioanalyzer before being reverse transcribed to cDNA. Then, by using SYBR-green as a fluorophore detection, quantitative real-time PCR was performed. The relative expression of each target gene was calculated using the comparative 2-∆∆Ct method, and the expression levels of target genes were normalized to that of GAPDH, RPLP0, and HPRT1. Mean differences of AMPK subunits mRNA level for both lean and overweight/obese subjects were determined by Mann-Whitney for two-sample comparisons using SPSS 26.0 (SPSS Inc., USA). This study revealed that in overweight/obese subjects, the gene expression of α1-AMPK was upregulated (2.5-fold) whilst α2-AMPK was downregulated (0.5-fold) when compared to lean controls (p=0.044). There were no differences observed between the β and γ subunits in both lean and overweight/obese subjects. Findings from this study suggests that α1- and α2-AMPK gene expression plays an important role in overweight/obese subjects. Future studies to explore the AMPK gene expressions in visceral adipose tissue and among underweight subjects would further close this knowledge gap.

Published: November 2022

The economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated certain structural changes in the economy, especially in the labor markets. When analyzing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on labor markets, it should be noted that not all countries, industries and professions are equally affected. We are witnessing that most of the highly developed countries have more or less successfully overcome the shocks that appeared on the labor markets, the shutdown of some of the service sectors, the slowdown of the supply chains of raw materials, as well as the acceleration of some of the structural changes in the labor market. However, like any other recession, there are countries in this one that have largely felt the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the labor market. In addition, the workers in the so-called shadow economy or informal sector, low-skilled workers, workers who worked in the services sector (especially in the field of personal services), so greater impact is observed in developing countries, where this type of employment is a significant part of the total workforce. In the absence of empirical researches on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labor market in the Western Balkans (North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo) it is considered necessary to make a comparative analysis of the negative effects on the labor market, the trend of the employment and unemployment rate, as well as a comparative analysis of the measures taken by the governments to mitigate the negative effects on labor market in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
FOSTERING RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL ETHICS THROUGH BUSINESS EDUCATION
Authors: Gigauri Iza
Published: November 2022

Business education empowers students to find quick solutions in the modern global and complex world when continuous changes are occurring. Future business leaders need to possess skills to identify solutions for ethical dilemmas they can face in the workplace. Business graduates need to understand the role of business in society and wider responsibilities towards all stakeholders. Business programs have to reflect the tendency to the increasing demand of professionals educated in corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability, and business ethics. As sustainability issues are at the center of attention around the globe, higher education institutions need to adapt their programs accordingly, and hence, offer business ethics and CSR courses. Since stakeholders’ requirements and preferences must be considered, universities are improving their programs constantly. Therefore, studies should be conducted to determine new approaches for effective teaching. The presented article overviews business education peculiarities, and discusses the importance of and approaches to teaching business ethics and CSR at business schools.
THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON ONLINE SHOPPING DURING COVID 19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Kuzmanovska Maja , Ivanovska Przo Dijana
Published: November 2022

We live in a consumer society where consumer behaviour is affected by different stimulants. Some of them have positive or negative influences on buying decisions. But It is very important to take into consideration all of them. When buyers are concerned about their needs, they are trying different ways to satisfy them.

The internet revolution has dramatically changed all living rules, especially habits, preferences, and shopping behaviours. Social networks have become a new hybrid component of integrated marketing communications. They enable companies to establish strong and long-term relationships with consumers. They have the power through the information they offer to influence consumers to inform each other and convey experiences about certain products, brands, services or problems they have encountered.

Social media influence is obvious. In the last years, the number of social networks has increased. The fact that all social networks are specific is fascinating. At the same time, all of them have different influences. Internet users have the opportunity to choose one or more and use it according to their needs.

The experts say that 2020 was an extraordinary year due to a COVID 19 pandemic. The pandemic brought destructive economic and social disruption, psychological, social and professional changes, physical and mental health problems, job loss, fear and stress. All restrictions that were made have a positive impact on social media which allow them to connect with people, distract them from problems, enable them to have fun, allowed to connect with relatives etc. At the same time, the platform has played a vital role in the dissemination of information about crisis. Actually, social media have been a valuable source of all types of information. All changes that have been made also affect consumer decisions. They have changed old habits of shopping in all areas. According to many statistical sources, online shopping increased significantly. The whole way that people work, learn, communicate, travel, shop and consume have changed. 

The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of social media on consumer behaviour, more specifically, the influence on the preference of specific e-shopping during the COVID 19 pandemic. The first part of the research will be addressed of the general changes in consumer behaviour affected by COVID 19, but the second part will be addressed of the changes in online shopping as a result of social media impact. The aim of this research is to discover all changes of shopping habits affected by the COVID 19 pandemic.
INEQUALITY AND CONCETRAТION OF CAPITAL
Authors: Runcev Nikolce , Makrevska Trajanka
Published: November 2022

Inequality in capital, property and income is a major determinant of modern society. An enormous concentration of the capital is accomplished.The number of the rich, and extremely rich, is increasing. On the other hand are those who have less and the poor. There is also an increase in the number of global plutocrats. Growth dynamics is slowing down. The future is uncertain. The purpose of this paper is to see the growing social inequality as a problem nowadays. Historical, deductive-inductive, structural and comparative analysis are applied. The distribution of wealth is one of the most debated issues today. But do we know enough about its long-term development? Does the dynamics of accumulation of private capital inevitably lead to a strong concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few? Do equalization of growth rate, competition and technical progress lead to less inequality and greater stabilization in the advanced stages of development? What do we know about income and wealth development and what lessons can we learn from it?

The history of the distribution of wealth is always deeply political and cannot be reduced to pure economic mechanisms. The history of inequality depends on the way economic, social and political actors see what is unfair and what is not, as well as on their relative power and the resulting common choices: distribution is a common product of all actors.

The dynamics of wealth distribution reveal powerful mechanisms that alternate between convergence and divergence, so there is no natural spontaneous process that would prevent destabilizing, non-egalitarian tendencies from permanently prevailing.

We start with the mechanisms that move towards convergence, i.e. towards reducing inequality. The main force of convergence is the process of disseminating knowledge and investing in training and education.

The law of supply and demand, as well as the mobility of capital and labor, which is a variant of that law, can be equally relied upon in that direction, but the impact of this law is less powerful than the spread of knowledge and skills and is often ambiguous and contradictory. The process of disseminating knowledge and skills is a key mechanism that simultaneously enables general productivity growth and reduction of inequality.

From a strictly theoretical point of view, there are potentially other forces moving towards greater equality. Technological rationality should automatically lead to the victory of human capital over financial capital and real estate, capable managers over shareholders, skills over nepotism. Somehow it would automatically lead to democratic rationality.

The issue of wealth distribution will always have a subjective and psychological dimension. The answers offered are always imperfect and unfinished.

Changes are logically possible and to some extent real, but their impact is far smaller than we can imagine.
US INFLUENCE IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA AFTER THE PERIOD OF RENAMING
Authors: Dimovski Ilche
Published: November 2022

The complex set of historical and political processes between the countries of the Western Balkans, as well as the absence of the EU from the region, complicates the process of building democratic and political capacities in these countries. The United States has a complex political approach to the Western Balkans, without having an exclusive ally in this part of the region. Although the region does not seem to be at the top of US policy priorities at the moment, the Western Balkans play an important role in its interests, especially when it comes to security issues, which have always been a top priority for the US administration. The public in the Republic of North Macedonia is still emotional about the process of changing the constitutional name, and the Prespa Agreement, although a closed topic for the US administration, at least judging by the last move of President Biden, is still not fully accepted, not only by the population, but also among some experts. Some critics comment on the distrust of the process "vis a vis" the constant blockades of the pre-accession negotiations with the EU, despite the name change, which by the way according to the amendments to the Constitution should be implemented in practice in parallel with the opening of EU negotiation chapters. This begs the questions: What is the US position on North Macedonia's strategic interests? Does and in what way does the United States influence North Macedonia through NATO? What are the benefits and prospects for North Macedonia from NATO membership? The purpose of this paper is to explain the US attitude towards North Macedonia from a geostrategic point of view by applying descriptive analysis. In 2008, after the Greek veto on Macedonia's membership in NATO, a Declaration on Strategic Partnership and Cooperation was signed between the United States and Macedonia, with which the United States guarantees the security of Macedonia, but without meaning a replacement for NATO membership. The Declaration is one of the most important agreements for North Macedonia, which emphasizes, among other things, the strategic commitment of both sides to Macedonia's integration into NATO and the EU, making the United States the only strategic partner and supporter (of the great powers) of Macedonia in its EU and NATO aspirations.Finally, in 2020, through the North Macedonian Embassy in Washington, the instrument for joining the North Atlantic Treaty was deposited, with which North Macedonia officially became a member of NATO.
CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES FOR PREVENTION AND COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM
Authors: Demirovski Agus
Published: November 2022

States use a variety of approaches, mechanisms, models and programs to prevent and combat violent extremism and radicalism. Some of them are newly developed, and others already existing. They aim to enable practitioners, professionals and members of the local community to apply their various skills, knowledge and capacities for early prevention of violent extremism and radicalization, ie to identify vulnerable persons and persons at risk and provide them with the necessary support to be redirected in a non-violent way before committing a crime. Different types of approaches, mechanisms, models and programs are influenced, among others, by the nature of the threat, the socio-political situation in the country, the security situation, as well as by the prevailing norms and circumstances, management structures, resources, capacities, risk assessments and traditions.

The aim of the paper is to summarize and analyze the modern peacebuilding approaches used to prevent and combat violent extremism and to draw conclusions about their effectiveness. In doing so, the challenges and weaknesses of such programs will be identified, in order to overcome and improve them in the future and to show better results in achieving their goals. The paper specifically analyzes and discusses the EU approach to capacity building in the fight against terrorism and violent extremism aimed at promoting the capacity of state institutions to provide criminal justice and law enforcement, while respecting human rights and the rule of law. Supporting key preventive measures against violent extremism and countering terrorist financing are also top priorities for preventing terrorist activities and their consequences.

Creating such approaches/models for preventing and combating violent extremism should be followed by a broad consultation process with key national and local stakeholders, governments and the civil society sector, as well as law enforcement professionals and others who can provide support depending on the needs of the process. Such a process should not be rushed; creating the necessary multidisciplinary support for effective access takes time and patience, including from politicians, policymakers, practitioners, and members of the public, who may seek prompt action in the context of modern-day terrorist and violent extremist threats.

Published: November 2022

Natriuretic peptides are widely known for their protective effects against the development of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. The important role of determining the levels of natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis, assessment of severity, prognosis and effectiveness of treatment of heart failure has been proven in many studies and noted in clinical guidelines worldwide. Visceral obesity reduces the production and action of natriuretic peptides, increasing the risk of heart failure and diabetes mellitus 2 type. Metabolic syndrome is present in 60% of patients with chronic heart failure, most of its components contribute to the development and progression of chronic heart failure and include obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the general population is 34% and is constantly increasing due to unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle and chronic stress. The prevalence of chronic heart failure is increasing rapidly in all industrialized countries, affecting 2% of adults and 10% of the elderly. Therefore, the problem of early diagnosis and treatment of metabolic syndrome and chronic heart failure is very relevant nowadays. The review focuses on the pathophysiological relationships between natriuretic peptides, heart failure and metabolic syndrome, and the approaches to the correction of natriuretic peptides’ metabolism.

Published: November 2022

The uniformity of Josephson-junction (JJ) characteristics is crucial in wafer-scale superconducting quantum-bit (qubit) integration. To achieve the level of accuracy demanded the circuits, every detail of the fabrication process needs to be optimized. Here we reveal that the junction-resistance (R
N) variations of Al/AlO
x
/Al JJs are affected by the metal deposition on the sidewall of the resist mask during shadow evaporation. The effect is reproduced in numerical simulation using a simple model taking into account the resist structure and the evaporation angle. To overcome the issue, we introduce a two-step shadow evaporation method to reduce the variation of R
N. As a result, the coefficient of variations across a 3-inch wafer decreases from 6.7% to 4.5%, achieving 1.1% in a chip with an area of 10 mm × 10 mm. This method is promising for developing large-scale superconducting quantum computers.

Abstract

Indonesian language skills are basically formed due to training both naturally and through education. Language skills are needed as a means of community life skills. Likewise, at an early age, children who are in this golden age need to be well supported by their skills. At TKQ Nura'eni, Indonesian language teaching training is carried out so that students can learn. Teachers realize that students' linguistic potential must be directed and supported. The linguistic potential of students has been directed to three languages, namely regional languages, Indonesian and Arabic. This is because the students had previously been in contact with Arabic in their daily routines, namely through reading Iqra, the Koran, and memorizing prayers. This linguistic potential must be developed. So this counseling is carried out using a method that has been adapted to the cognitive development stage of early childhood, namely the QnA teaching method through singing activities. This will make it easier for children to process the language material that is being delivered. It turned out that the results were very maximal, and supported their language development in getting to know them in various ways.

 

Abstrak

Keterampilan berbahasa Indonesia pada dasarnya terbentuk karena adanya latihan baik secara alami maupun melalui pendidikan. Keterampilan berbahasa diperlukan sebagai alat kecakapan hidup masyarakat. Bagitu pula pada usia dini, anak-anak yang berada pada masa emas ini perlu untuk didukung keterampilanya dengan baik. Di TKQ Nura’eni ini dilakukan pelatihan pengajaran bahasa Indonesia agar dapat dipelajari siswa. Para pengajar menyadari bahwa potensi kebahasaan siswa harus diarahkan dan didukung. Potensi kebahasaan siswa sudah diarahkan pada tiga bahasa yaitu bahasa daerah, bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Arab. Hal ini dikarenakan para siswa sebelumnya sudah bersentuhan dengan bahasa Arab dalam rutinitas kesehariannya, yaitu melalui kegiatan membaca Iqra, Alquran, serta hafalan doa-doa. Potensi kebahasaan ini tentu harus dikembangkan. Maka penyuluhan ini dilakukan dengan metode yang telah disesuaikan dengan tahap perkembangan kognitif anak usia dini, yaitu metode pengajaran QnA melalui kegiatan bernyanyi. Hal ini akan mempermudah anak untuk memproses materi bahasa yang sedang disampaikan. Ternyata hasilnya sangat maksimal, dan mendukung perkembangan bahasa mereka dalam mengenal mereka pada berbagai hal.

The aim of our study was demonstrate how the implementation of a shared management process using innovative tools, such as telemonitoring with a mobile app, has a benefits in term of facilitating the management of women with GD and reducing access to hospitals. Due to COVID-19 emergency in 2020, the integration between the Diabetologist EMR (SDC) and mySugr app for people with diabetes was activated for 4 months; the patient can enter blood sugar and other clinical data in the app for recording and tracking data directly in the EMR. The telemonitoring service was proposed to pregnant patients to avoid further direct access for the visits. The analysis of glycemic control and maternal-fetal outcome was performed on a total of 46 pregnant women (38 Italian and 8 foreign, age 35.4 ± 4.9 years, graduates 73%, pre-pregnancy BMI 24.9 ± 5.4 Kg / m2) enrolled on average at 30 ± 5 weeks. The total blood glucose levels recorded were 8818 (176 ± 98 blood sugar levels per patient), the mean pre- and post-meal blood glucose levels were respectively 96 ± 9.8 mg / dl and 127.8 ± 34.6 mg / dl. Delivery took place at 39 ± 2 weeks, in 65.2% spontaneously (34.8% Caesarean section) in the absence of preterm births or birth trauma. All the women examined showed a high degree of satisfaction. Despite numerical limitation, this experience shows how the use of my- Sugr app integrated with SDC can offer to Diabetologists a secure data flow in electronic format, permitting an immediate consultation and a subsequent benefits on the metabolic control in women with GD. The solutions used are appreciated by all pregnant women and allowed the reduction of access to diabetes Centers.

In this work, we analyze the phase scintillation index observed from the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite constellations, for a continuous period of three years. Our analysis reveals an elevated level of L1 phase scintillation observed from most GLONASS satellites, and none of the other GNSS constellations during the same period. This is of particular interest as the abnormality was observed during a solar minimum period, and from satellites labeled as healthy. Our observations were verified with data from four different receivers located in different regions. The goal of this study is to highlight these abnormal phase scintillations from GLONASS satellites as they may adversely affect the reliability and integrity of the GLONASS positioning service, especially during periods of heightened geomagnetic activity.
Application of data analysis and game theory to competitive Pokémon battle sets
Authors: Bhagwat Dhruva
Published: November 2022

This paper analyzes a scenario where two hypothetical Pokémon trainers each have 3 Pokémon and each send out 1 to battle. We form an experiment through repeated battles between each Pokémon matchup to create payoff values for each Pokémon. Game theory and the process of finding a Nash equilibrium are applied to this scenario to determine both the best outcome for both trainers, and how the results state which trainer has more powerful Pokémon sets. Iterated dominance, best responses, and mixed strategies are used routinely to solve for the Nash equilibrium solution. The application of game theory, Nash equilibrium, and data analysis to economics is briefly discussed.

Published: November 2022

An auto-encoder which can be split into two parts is designed. The two parts can work well separately. The top half is an abstract network which is trained by supervised learning and can be used to classify and regress. The bottom half is a concrete network which is accomplished by inverse function and trained by self-supervised learning. It can generate the input of abstract network from concept or label. It is tested by tensorflow and mnist dataset. The abstract network is like LeNet-5. The concrete network is the inverse of the abstract network. Through test, encryption and decryption can be achieved by abstract network and concrete network add jump connect and negative feedback with absolute function. The parameter of DNN is secondary key, the architecture of DNN is primary key. Secondary key can be shared by all the people, primary key can be shared by sender and receiver. The key can be generated by training the DNN. Through analysis, it is safe for most situations.
RIS-Based Steerable Beamforming Antenna with Near-Field Eigenmode Feeder
Authors: Tiwari Krishan Kumar , Caire Giuseppe
Published: November 2022

We present a novel, power and hardware efficient, ``reconfigurable'' antenna system leveraging the eigenmodes of the over-the-air propagation matrix T from an active multi-antenna feeder (AMAF) placed in the near-field of a large reflective intelligent surface (RIS) to the RIS. We consider directive antenna elements with finite non-zero aperture constituting the two standard linear arrays (SLAs) - the AMAF and the RIS. We demonstrate the flexibility of the proposed architecture by showing that it is capable of generating radiation patterns for multiple applications such as very narrow beams with low side lobes for space-division multiple access communications, wide-angle beams for short range automotive sensing and sectorial beaconing, and monopulse patterns for radar angular tracking. A key parameter in our design is the AMAF-RIS distance which must be optimized and it is generally much less than the Rayleigh distance. Active RF amplification is done at the AMAF only with almost no signal splitting unlike conventional RF beamforming for massive MIMO systems in millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-teraHertz (sub-THz) bands. For a given AMAF aperture, the optimal AMAF-RIS distance increases as a function of the RIS size. The AMAF-RIS loss is compensated almost exactly by the larger aperture gain of the RIS leading to almost constant RIS gain with increasing RIS sizes. This allows to choose different beam angular selectivities with the same center beam gain.
ASSESSMENT OF TYPES OF MYOCARDIAL DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF CORONARY ARTERY LESION IN PATIENTS WITH NSTEMI
Authors: Maslovskyi Valentyn I. , Mezhiievska Iryna A.
Published: November 2022

The aim: To evaluate the types of myocardial diastolic dysfunction depending on the degree of coronary artery lesion in patients with NSTEMI.
Materials and methods: We examined 200 patients with NSTEMI aged 38 to 80 years, who were urgently hospitalized in the Vinnytsya Regional Clinical Center of Cardiovascular Pathology. All patients underwent echocardiography examination from 3 to 5 day of hospitalization after coronary angiography.
Results: We established that there were no significant gender and age differences in the types of diastolic dysfunction. However, we found that with an increase in the degree of damage to the coronary arteries and an increase in the number of affected arteries, the degree of severity of myocardial diastolic dysfunction increases and the probability of occurrence of more unfavorable types of dysfunction increases.
Conclusions: Determining the types of myocardial diastolic dysfunction in the early period of NSTEMI makes it possible to predict unfavorable variants of the course of the disease and prevent possible complications.

Published: November 2022

The aim: To evaluate the possibility of using screening markers of coagulation to the assessment of severity and predict short-term outcomes in patients with small bowel obstruction.
Materials and methods: The study was based on the results of treatment of 71 patients 18-60 years old in 2019-2021. Patients were divided into two groups: in the 1st included those with a positive outcome (90.1%), and in the 2nd those with adverse outcomes (9.9%).
Results: Only the laparoscopy approach has been in 12.5%, the laparotomy in 78.9%, and the hybrid in 9.9% of patients. There were no significant differences in screening tests of coagulation function indicators, including D-dimer, fibrinogen, Activated Partial Thromboplastin, International Normalised Ratio levels, and the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis Criteria (ISTHC) score in two groups of patients before surgery. The predictive value of preoperative Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) data (AUC = 0.844), serum lactate (AUC = 0.805), and systolic blood pressure (SPB) data (AUC = 0.808) before surgery were significant. The SOFA (AUC = 0.844) and APACHE II scores (AUC = 0.802), serum lactate (AUC = 0.884), D-dimer (AUC = 0.812), Antithrombin (AUC = 0.815), and CRP (AUC = 0.856) levels, SPB (0.856) within the first 72 hours after surgery were also good predictors of short-term outcomes (P = 0.000).
Conclusions: It was confirmed that three parameters were predictors of early mortality before surgery, none of them included parameters of coagulation and seven parameters via 72 hours after surgery, which had included some parameters of coagulation.

The aim: Study of the system of pharmaceutical activity legal support in emergency conditions, namely, the period of epidemics outbreak and during the war.
Materials and methods: In the mentioned study, we analyze the state of the governmental pharmaceutical policy during the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Legal norms and doctrinal positions of scientists regarding the above-mentioned issue are studied. The work analyzes the information presented by specialists in various scientific publications, and also uses scientific methods from a medical and legal point of view. This material is based on dialectical, comparative, analytical, synthetic, and complex research methods. This study analyzes the activities of pharmaceutical enterprises in the emergency state and the problem of ensuring patients’ rights to medical care and epidemic safety. As part of the above-mentioned methods, we investigated the problems of pharmacies utilizing questionnaires. A survey of representatives of pharmacy chains, managers of purchasing pharmaceutical products and their pricing, in the cities of Kharkiv, Poltava, Kyiv, Mykolaiv and Lviv in the number of 460 specialists, shows negative trends in price gouging. This is a violation of patients’ rights to affordable pharmaceutical products.
Conclusions: The pharmaceutical industry of Ukraine was not prepared in advance for extraordinary events, such as a pandemic and martial law, as well as for other natural disasters and foreseeable emergencies. This negatively affected and continues to affect the health of patients.
