Authors: Gorblyansky Yuriy Yu. , Ramazanova Elmira R. , Kontorovich Elena P. , Ponamareva Oksana P.
Published: March 2023

In the structure of interstitial lung diseases (ILD), hypersensitive pneumonitis (HP) is quite common in the world. However, to date, the disease is often diagnosed at a late stage (fibrosis), which requires improving the methods of early diagnosis of the disease and timely examination of the connection of the disease with the profession. The analysis of domestic and foreign literature devoted to the peculiarities of the formation of a professional GP in modern socio-economic conditions is given. The authors have described the evolution of ideas about the disease, modern classification, occupational risk factors and methods of diagnosis of HP. Due to the complexity of the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, we have drawn the attention to the need for an interdisciplinary integrated approach to the diagnosis of professional HP. The scientists have considered modern methods of treatment of the diseas from the standpoint of occupational health, the prospects for improving the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of occupational HP.
Database on the Standardized mortality ratio (SMR all causes and SMR all cancer) for various professions (706 cohorts/groups): the maximum "health worker effect" for cosmonauts and doctors
Authors: Koterov Aleksey N. , Ushenkova Liliya N. , Dibirgadzhiev Idris G.
Published: March 2023

Researchers have formed a database for work on the evaluation of the indices of the "standardized mortality ratio" (SMR±95% confidence intervals — CI) in comparison with the general population for total mortality and mortality from all malignant neoplasms ("all cancers") for various professions and types of employment (mainly men). The database includes 689 publications (706 cohorts/groups, 67 professions and types of employment). Experts have conducted an assessment the presence of the "healthy worker effect" (HWE) in the studies included in the database based on the criterion of the upper 95% CI value of less than one. Among all professions and types of employment, scientists have identified HWE in total mortality only in 52%, and in mortality from all types of cancer — only in 28% of cohorts/groups. HWE for both indicators simultaneously and only for total mortality occurred in 26% of cases. For 2% of the studies, there is an inverse relationship (absence of HWE for total mortality in the presence of an effect on mortality from all types of cancer), which is most likely accidental. There were no strict dependencies between HWE and the carcinogenic potential of activity, although there was a definite trend. The frequency of work with HWE for specific professions identified as the most "unprofitable" work with such heavy metals as Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu (the frequency of HWE is 0% for total mortality and 5% (mercury miners) for mortality from malignant neoplasms; one publication), followed by activities related to dust exposure (talc, quartz, various minerals, etc.; 5% and 6%) and asbestos (10% and 2%). Pilots (89% and 65%), oil and petrochemical industry workers (97% and 56%), as well as doctors (94% and 96%) and cosmonauts/astronauts (100% and 67%; the sample is small) occupied leading positions in the highest frequency of HWE. A complete sample of SMR studies of foreign doctors (1886–2017) demonstrated a strict linear decrease in the SMR value in total mortality compared with the population since the 1940s (r=–0.927; p<0.001), with SMR=0.38 (95% CI: 0.01; 0.76) achieved by the 2010s. At the same time, mortality from all cancers among doctors was reduced in comparison with the population almost equally for all time periods since 1926 (average SMR=0.6; 95% CI: 0.53; 0.66). Possible reasons for the reduced mortality among foreign doctors compared to the population are not only in prevention and professional skills, but probably in better access to medicine and specialists. In connection with professional solidarity, medical care and informing doctors is apparently distinguished by great attention. Earlier treatment of non-cancerous pathologies is also important, preventing their transformation into chronic ones, which can subsequently lead to carcinogenic consequences.

This study considers an aspect of the work experience material to an individual employee’s happiness—their relationship with their supervisor— through the lens of expanding journalism studies scholarship on personal wellbeing. Considered through field theory, the present study reflects on interviews with U.S. journalists (n=36) on their relationship with their supervisor and their perceptions of what constitutes an effective leader in journalism. Journalists largely attributed great leadership to a strong rooting in journalistic doxa.
Cities v. Big Pharma: Municipal Affirmative Litigation and the Opioid Crisis
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: March 2023

The opioid crisis has been called the worst drug epidemic in American history. It has already killed thousands and scarred millions more. Over the last few years, there has been a rise in affirmative litigation by municipalities — that is, proactive suits that seek to vindicate some public interest, not merely the municipality’s corporate interests. This article examines the recent wave of lawsuits by cities and counties against the opioid industry. Municipalities face unique challenges in bringing suits. Relative to individual opioid users, municipalities face a complex task when attempting to prove injury and causation for their harms. And unlike states or nations, municipalities lack inherent authority to bring suits on behalf of their residents. The Article first explains the basics of municipal affirmative litigation, including its history, major cases, criticisms, and benefits. It then describes the origins of the opioid crisis and the pharma industry’s complicity in exacerbating it. Next, it examines some of the major obstacles to municipal suits: standing, statutes of limitations, and preemption. Lastly, it describes the five theories most commonly employed in municipal affirmative litigation:(1) public nuisance,(2) Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO),(3) negligence,(4) state consumer protection laws, and(5) unjust enrichment.For each theory, it considers potential drawbacks to employing the theory, analogies that may predict its viability, and past opioid cases where it has been tested.

Human resource is the fundamental resources of the organization, which determine the performance of the organization as well as gives the life to the other resources and the organization. This study focuses on assessing the role of employee performance-driven practices on employees’ performance in Nepalese commercial banks. This study utilizes the quantitative research approach with a causal-comparative and analytical research design. The sample of the study is 385 respondents from Kathmandu valley. Reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis are utilized to draw the conclusion. Evidence indicates that leadership, working environment, motivation, and job satisfaction positively and significantly affect employee performance in the Nepalese banking sectors. Finally, this study suggests banks provide excellent leadership opportunities, a good working environment to the employees, rich motivation, and focus on job satisfaction through intrinsic and extrinsic reward systems that positively contribute to the bank employees’ performance and might lead to downsizing employee turnover also.
Teachers’ and Students’ Perception on Teaching and Learning Speaking Skills
Authors: Kandel Shree Krishna
Published: March 2023

This paper explored teachers’ and students’ perceptions on their teaching and learning English-speaking skills in a community school. It explored their perceptions based on in-depth interviews with six teachers and fifteen students from community schools in Nuwakot, Dhading, and Kathmandu districts. The discussion was limited to teaching techniques, methods, students’ participation, and teachers’ facilitation during teaching. The study made the findings that students are not provided with appropriate time and attention in teaching and learning speaking skills. Students preferred adequate time in daily teaching-learning for speaking skills, which was lacking in practise. Furthermore the student participants suggested to include sufficient speaking activities and exercises in the textbook. The study also found that weak students who showed comparatively less participation in speaking activities were to be encouraged for their proactive involvement in the learning process.
Status of Foreign Labour Migration and Impact of Migrants by COVID-19 in Nepal
Authors: Mishra Manamaya
Published: March 2023

The paper based on the status of labour migration and remittances of Nepal in 2014 to 2022. The aims of this paper are to find out the situation of foreign labour migration in Nepal and to examine the impact of COVID[1]19 on the Outflow of Nepali Migrants. It is descriptive in nature and entirely based on secondary sources of information. The trends in foreign employment are presented for past eight years, 2009/10-2018/19. Although Nepal labour migration report 2022 and prelimanari report of 2021, this report reiterates those trends along with updated data from the past fiscal year to create a single comprehensive report. According to National Living Standard Survey 2011, 56 percent of Nepali households have at least one member of their family working and living abroad. The remittances sent by these members have helped improve the standard of living of Nepali households. In 2020, the remittances sent by migrant workers covered to 23.5 percent of the Nepal’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, international labor migration plays a huge role in keeping Nepal’s economy afloat. The decision of the youths to go abroad as labor was a strategy to escape from the potential threat, livelihood options, and get new country experience which ultimately became the major source to bring back remittance. Though low- skilled, foreign labor migration has been the major phenomenon for the country, which is now fully dependent on the remittance economy and counts for over one- fourth of the total national income. Nepal has undertaken several policy measures to overcome these anomalies. Although the implementation aspect is fragile to meet the ground reality, and from the notion of strategic intervention, it is necessary to revisit the policy measures to make foreign labor migration safe, secure, and informed choice based.

Authors: Khanal Prabha , Paudel Manusha
Published: March 2023

Sexual harassment is a common and widespread phenomenon that has physical, emotional, and social consequences for individuals. The aim of this paper is to explore the knowledge and perception of sexual harassment among the working women in Kathmandu Valley. The systematic random sampling technique was used and selected 388 people working in the educational and non[1] educational sectors of the Kathmandu Valley. The result revealed that highest percentage of respondents have heard about the term "sexual harassment." low percent (83%) respondents had heard about SH in Bhaktapur compared to Kathmandu and Lalitpur (97%) and (86%), respectively. The majority of respondents (60%) stated that sexual harassment occurs in the workplace, as a result of misread signals from women. However, the majority of respondents (35%) stated that public transportation is the most risky place for sexual harassment followed by dark/ remote places (34%). Almost two-thirds of respondents (ranging from 62% to 65%) in all districts had heard about sexual harassment-related laws, acts, and policies, which was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Similarly, respondents aged 35 and older had less knowledge than those in the younger age group, and this was significantly related to their age. The majority of respondents (93%) who worked in reception had the most knowledge of harassment-related laws and policies, followed by managerial supervisors (86%) whereas unskilled labor had lowest knowledge (47%) regarding these laws/ policies.

The use of vessel wall imaging to detect a de novo microaneurysm on the periventricular anastomoses in moyamoya disease: illustrative case
Authors: Ninomiya Atsuhiko , Endo Hidenori , Tashiro Ryosuke , Kanoke Atsushi , Tominaga Teiji
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is linked to the formation of intracranial aneurysms. The authors recently observed an effective use of magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (MR-VWI) to detect de novo unruptured MMD-associated microaneurysms.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe a 57-year-old female who was diagnosed with MMD 6 years ago after suffering a left putaminal hemorrhage. MR-VWI revealed point-like enhancement in the right posterior paraventricular region during the annual follow-up. On the T2-weighted image, this lesion was surrounded by high intensity. Angiography revealed a microaneurysm in the periventricular anastomosis. Right combined revascularization surgery was performed to prevent future hemorrhagic events. Another de novo circumferential enhanced lesion on MR-VWI appeared in the left posterior periventricular region 3 months after surgery. Angiography revealed that the enhanced lesion was a de novo microaneurysm on the periventricular anastomosis. The left combined revascularization surgery went well. The bilateral microaneurysms vanished on follow-up angiography.

LESSONS

Unruptured MMD-associated microaneurysms on the periventricular anastomosis can be detected using MR-VWI. Revascularization surgery can eliminate microaneurysms by reducing hemodynamic stress on the periventricular anastomosis.

RUSSIAN AND FOREIGN PRACTICES OF SEWAGE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT
Authors:   Russian Scientific Research Institute of Land Improvement Problems, Manzhina S. A.
Published: March 2023

Purpose: to analyze the best practices for sewage sludge management both in our country and abroad. Discussion. The qualitative composition of sewage sludge varies depending on the wastewater composition, the characteristics of treatment facilities and the treatment methods used. The choice of sludge disposal method depends primarily on environmental and social factors. The environmental factor is determined primarily by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms and helminths, heavy metals and biogenic substances. The problem with helminths and pathogenic microorganisms is solved by disinfection and stabilization of sewage sludge. The problem with heavy metals is solved by their immobilization. The biogenic composition of sewage sludge, and primarily the nitrogen and phosphorus content, predetermines its fertilizer value for crop production. The main negative component that determines the quality of sewage sludge is the presence of heavy metals in them. The statistical data on the content of heavy metals in sewage sludge from various countries are presented. The social aspect determines the availability of agricultural areas, appropriate technologies, demand for a certain type of resource, as well as economic indicators of the result obtained. Conclusions. Currently, in world practice there is no consensus on the permissible content of pollutants in sewage sludge when they are used as fertilizers. The Russian standards are no exception, which require scientifically based revision to improve the requirements for the sewage sludge quality for their further use in the country's agriculture.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: development of a scientific and technical substantiation for the feasibility of construction and technical solutions for fish pass, fish passage and spawning and spawning channels at waterworks. Materials and methods. The empirical basis of the work was the data of the author's surveys and studies of fish passage and fish-passage and spawning channels operating as part of low-head waterworks on the Western Manych and Don rivers, as well as materials and information on the technical substantiation of the projects of the Bagaevsky and Kochetovsky fish-spawning channels. Results and discussion. In the course of achieving the goal and solving the problems of the study, interpretations of special terms were given: fish passage, fish passage and spawning and spawning channels at the waterworks, and the conditions for the use of each of these structures were formulated. The data of field surveys of the Ust-Manych fish passages and the Konstantinovsky fish passage and spawning channels, carried out in 2022, are presented. Schematic diagrams for the construction of waterworks fish passes, fish passages and spawning and spawning channels are proposed, which, with appropriate study, can be adapted to the specific conditions of their creation and function, which is clearly illustrated by the given examples of design solutions for fish passage and spawning channels arranged as part of the Bagaevsky and Kochetovsky waterworks on the river Don. Structural schemes of facilities and elements that ensure the operation of fish pass, fish passages and spawning and spawning channels, including their main components – tracts, inlet and outlet (for fish) overheads (areas) have been developed. Conclusions. The definitions of the special terms: fish passes, fish passage and spawning (spawning and fish passage) and spawning channels are formulated, and the substantiation of the conditions for their use is given. Layout and structural diagrams for the arrangement of fish passage and fish-passage-spawning channels as part of river low-head waterworks are proposed.
Knowledge and Awareness of Exercises in Diabetes Mellitus among Female Population
Authors: Ansara Fathimath , Mohinuddeen K P Khaja
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is influenced by multi-factorial components, such as behavioural, environmental and social factors. Exercises are considered to be very effective in prevention, care and management of diabetes, but the awareness of exercises in diabetes is limited and underutilized. As knowledge is essential in bringing alteration in behaviour, it is important to know the awareness. The awareness of community-based knowledge in rural population is necessary as it reduces the burden in the society by promoting health education. Aims/Objectives: To find the knowledge and awareness of exercises and its types in diabetes mellitus among female population, and to find the association between the knowledge and awareness of diabetes based on age and level of education. Method: This study is a cross-sectional study involving 195 females between the age of 18 and 60 years who were interviewed by the personal investigator using a structured questionnaire form which is structured in a way to find the age, level of education, knowledge and awareness of diabetes mellitus, its risk factors, complications, prevention and management of diabetes mellitus by different types of exercises. Results: Results suggested that even though there is a good awareness of a diabetes mellitus as a condition (100%), people lacked knowledge and awareness in various aspects of diabetes mellitus such as risk factors (81.3 %), prevention (70.3%), type of exercises (aerobic exercises: 94.0%, resistance exercises: 33.2% and flexibility exercises: 31.0%), role of exercises in diabetes mellitus and exercise induced hypoglycemia (60%). Association between the knowledge & awareness of diabetes mellitus based on educational status revealed that literacy rate plays an important role in influencing a person’s knowledge. Conclusion: This study established that even though people are aware of a condition called diabetes mellitus, the knowledge regarding its risk factors, prevention, complications and type of exercises are grossly inadequate.
Multidimensionalism, Resistance, and The Demographic Problem
Authors: Kidd Ian James
Published: March 2023

Linda Martín Alcoff and others have emphasised that the discipline of philosophy suffers from a ‘demographic problem’. The persistence of this problem is partly the consequence of various forms of resistance to efforts to address the demographic problem. Such resistance is complex and takes many forms and could be responded to in different ways. In this paper, I argue that our attempts to explain and understand the phenomenon of resistance should use a kind of explanatory pluralism that, following Quassim Cassam, I call multidimensionalism. I describe four general kinds of resistance and consider varying explanations, focusing on those focused on vices and social structures. I argue that vice-explanations and structural- explanations are both mutually consistent and mutually entailing. If so, there is no need to choose between vice explanations and structural explanations or any other kinds of explanation. We can and should be multidimensionalists: using many together is better.
Art of the Ancestors: Spatial and temporal patterning in the ceiling rock art of Nawarla Gabarnmang, Arnhem Land, Australia
Authors: Robert G. Gunn
Published: March 2023

This volume presents a new systematic approach to the archaeological recording and documentation of rock art developed to analyse the spatial and temporal structure of complex rock art panels. Focusing on the ceiling art at Nawarla Gabarnmang, one of the richest rock art sites in Arnhem Land the approach utilised DStretch-enhanced photographs to record 1391 motifs from 42 separate art panels across the ceiling. Harris Matrices were then built to show the sequence of superimpositions for each art panel. Using common attributes, including features identified by Morellian Method (a Fine Art method not previously employed in archaeological rock art studies), contemporaneous motifs within panels were then aggregated into individual layers. The art layers of the various panels were then inter-related using the relative and absolute chronological evidence to produce a full relative sequence for the site as a whole. This provided a story of the art that began some 13,000 years ago and concluded around 60 years ago, with a major change identified in the art some 450 years ago. The method was shown to be invaluable to the resolution of many difficult issues associated with the identification of motifs, their superimpositions and the development of art sequences.
The Psychosocial Challenges of Female Secondary School Students in Abeokuta	Metropolis: Implications for Mental Health Counsellors
Authors: Odebode Aminat
Published: March 2023

The period of adolescence is associated with several dramatic changes and life challenges particularly among female secondary school students. This study, therefore, investigated the psycho-social challenges of female secondary school students in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The variables taken into consideration were age, class, school type and mother’s educational attainment. It was a survey research. Sample comprised all the female in-school adolescents in Abeokuta metropolis. A questionnaire entitled “Psychosocial Challenges of Female Students Questionnaire” (PCFSQ) was used to collect data for the study. The findings revealed that the psychosocial challenges of female in-school adolescents were a result of their body shape, sexual harassment from teachers, fear of failure, being bullied by male counterparts, and pressure to perform excellently among others. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that mental health counsellors should assist female in-school adolescents to overcome psychosocial challenges.
Screening of medicinal plant extracts in Vietnam and investigation of their combination for preventing and treating gout
Authors: Anh C. Ha , Tan M. Le
Published: March 2023

Objectives. The study aimed to examine the potential use of ethanol extracts of four medicinal plants to prevent and treat gout disease.Methods. An investigation of some typical compound contents such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins in terms of two bioactive abilities, including anti-xanthine oxidase and antioxidant was carried out in Eclipta prostrata L., Artemisia vulgaris L., Apium graveolens L., and Piper betle L samples. Subsequently, the weight ratios of Piper betle L. and Artemisia vulgaris L. were investigated to reduce the total tannin content and get the most suitable anti-xanthine oxidase activity.Results. As well as having the highest target compound contents, Piper betle L. demonstrated the best anti-xanthine oxidase and antioxidant abilities even while its IC50 values were lower than positive control; however, its high total tannin content can cause some side effects. A mixture with a weight ratio of 1:1 of Piper betle L. and Artemisia vulgaris L. had a total tannin content half that of Piper betle L. as well as demonstrating potential anti-xanthine oxidase and antioxidant activities when IC50 was about 3.94 and 20.85 µg/mL, respectively.Conclusions. Out of the four selected plants, Piper betle L. demonstrated the best potential material for preventing and treating gout disease. However, due to the high tannin content in it, a mix of Piper betle L. and Artemisia vulgaris L. at a weight ratio of 1:1 gave optimal results for application in treatment.
Research on the Existence of Chinese Load-bearing bow of Spine – Report on 2 Cases of Standing full spine radiographs of Typical Traditional Chinese Spine and several very interesting photos worth studying
Authors: Huabin Chen
Published: March 2023

Over the past six years, the author has been exposed to 100,000 spines while working at the medical examination center. While studying the prevalence among young people of lumbar spondylosis worldwide and in China, the authors recently proposed two new concepts of Chinese traditional shoulder-carrying culture and traditional Chinese spine [1]. Previously, modern medicine had only the term “normal lumbar spine” without any distinction between oriental and western ones. The normal lumbar spine, considered the world standard, is essentially a centuries-old study based on the Western spine, and thus is called the western spine by the author. The western spine is also a new concept proposed by the author to distinguish the traditional Chinese spine, which has not yet been recognized by the global academic community. Therefore, these terms have never appeared in any literature or textbook before. In this study, the author described how these Chinese people with traditional Chinese spines were identified, their physical examination, x-ray imaging findings, and two-year follow-up outcomes. The author concludes that for thousands of years, the traditional Chinese spine has been famous for carrying heavy objects while having few lumbar spondyloses; this kind of “Chinese load-bearing bow of spine” has gradually disappeared with the Chinese shoulder-carrying culture. In spinal mobility tests at physical examinations, this traditional spine showed poor mobility and good stability. In terms of the vertebra of the normal lumbar spine, there is no difference in the number of vertebrae, but there are differences in four curvatures. Imaging shows inward transversus abdominis, with the spine closely connected to the anterior abdominal cavity. This X-ray film bridges the gap in the global research on the spine, representing the difference between the traditional Chinese spine and the modern normal lumbar spine, and also the difference in appearance, size, and movement of the traditional Chinese shoulder-carrying people from the West ones. Of course, two cases are not enough. Hope that more traditional Chinese spines can be found, studied, and reported. It is essential to conduct research on how to restore and cultivate the “Chinese load-bearing bow of spine”. The research will facilitate addressing the global prevalence of lumbar spondylosis, provide a different approach to the prevention and treatment of lumbar spondylosis, and affect spinal health for future generations.

Hoof beats could mean zebras: A rare late metastasis of breast carcinoma in the rectum
Authors: Mishra Rupa , Joshi Sneha , Thakkar Deepti , Nare Smeeta , Koppiker CB
Published: March 2023

Breast cancer metastasis is most commonly observed in bone, lung, liver, and brain and is rarely observed in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). In rarer cases, GI metastasis reaches the rectum and generally presents as late metastasis. The type of breast cancer usually associated with GI metastasis is invasive lobular carcinoma; however, few case reports also show their association with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Here, we report a case that unfortunately is a coalescence of all these atypical events, with metastatic rectal linitis plastica (RLP) of the breast, 15 years after the treatment of the primary tumor, originating from IDC. This is the first case report from India, reporting the late metastatic presentation of breast cancer as RLP. The report emphasizes the need to correlate persistent GI symptoms to breast cancer history; however, late the presentation may be.

Covid-19, a contagious disease, has been classified as a global pandemic. Indonesia, as one of the ASEAN countries, has taken various measures to combat the spread of this disease. One of the government's initiatives to tackle the pandemic is the PeduliLindungi application, through which the public provides feedback on government policies. However, analyzing and comprehending public opinions in a non-subjective manner poses a challenge in objectively evaluating government services. This study aims to address this issue by conducting a sentiment analysis of Covid-19 handling in Indonesia, using a lexicon-based weighting system that includes SentiStrengthID and InSet. The decision tree (DT) machine learning algorithm is utilized to evaluate the polarity results provided by the lexicon. The results indicate that the sentiment polarity towards Covid-19 handling in Indonesia is negative based on both SentiStrengthID and InSet weights. Evaluating machine learning performance with the SentiStrengthID lexicon, the DT-entropy and DT-gini models achieved an accuracy of 82% and 83%, respectively. Similarly, evaluating machine learning performance with the InSet lexicon, the DT-entropy and DT-gini models achieved an accuracy of 81% and 82%, respectively.

The article is the research of strategic guidelines for the implementation of the innovative potential of enterprises. In the context of security and economic threats, the transport sector requires innovation in the implementation of reconstruction and modernization projects. The authors have formed internal and external factors of innovative development, taking into account security and sectoral threats. To characterize the internal factors of the effectiveness of the implementation of the innovative potential of transport enterprises, a resource approach was applied. This allowed the authors to describe organizational, material, human and financial, coordination conditions. External factors determine the dependence on sectoral technologies, market conditions, as well as the need to implement European integration goals. In the aggregate, the environment for the realization of innovative potential focuses strategies on the innovative restoration of transport infrastructure, the search for innovations to restore business processes, staff retention and intellectualization, institutional support. The research reveals specific strategic guidelines for the implementation of innovation potential by type of transport. The directions of innovative changes and their impact on the development of the national economy are described for each type of transport services. The complete blockade of air and sea transport provoked a reorientation of transportation to the automobile and the railway transport. At the same time, the energy problem of automobile transportation has provoked an increase in demand for innovations in energy saving and the spread of electrical technologies. Also, railway transport has become a tool for evacuation transportation and the growth of requests for food transportation. This provoked the realization of innovative potential in the modernization of rolling stock, accelerating the implementation of European standards for infrastructure. The authors associate further strategic guidelines with the need not only to restore the destroyed infrastructure, but also the need to implement EU standards, introduce energy-saving technologies, innovations in logistics and business processes.
