Published: July 2024

Prediabetes is a condition of impaired blood glucose metabolism. However, it does not yet meet the criteria for diabetes mellitus, characterized by impaired fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Chronic glucose intolerance can increase the workload of the kidney glomerulus in the filtration process and the tubules in the reabsorption process. The research aims to assess the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in prediabetic subjects in Kendari. This type of analytical observational research with a case-control design. The total sample was 90 samples consisting of 45 non-diabetic samples as the control group and 45 prediabetic samples as the case group. Characteristic data is presented as a frequency distribution and test data for differences between the control group and cases using an independent t-test with statistical test results said to be significant if the p-value is less than 0.05. The research results showed that the frequency distribution of subjects in the control group and cases based on gender was dominated by women, with the most extensive age range being 36-55 years. The FBG variable in the control group had a mean of 94±5.31 mg/dL, and in the case group, 110±8.09 mg/dL. The OGTT value in the control group was 118±12.78 mg/dL, and the case group was 139±23.90 mg/dL. The results of the calculation of the GFR showed a mean of 98.63±14.28 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the control group and 50.10±16.34 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the case group, different significant (p equal 0.000). There was a significant difference between GFR in the control group and the prediabetes case group. The results of the GFR assessment in the prediabetes group showed a mild decrease in renal function.

Published: July 2024

Dysmenorrhea or menstrual pain is abdominal pain originating from uterine abdominal cramps, occurring during menstruation due to sloughing of the endometrial layer. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea varies widely in various countries, ranging from 16-91%; the incidence in Indonesia ranges from 45-95%, while in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, as much as 52%, and in Sleman district, as much as 88.64%. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of steeping butterfly pea (Clitoria Ternatea) and ginger concoction(Zingibers Officinale) on reducing menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) in adolescent girls. The research method used was Quasi Experiment Two Group Pretest-Posttest design. The subjects in this study were 90 respondents who experienced menstrual pain and met the criteria. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test. The results of this study showed that the average menstrual pain before being given butterfly pea brew was 5.97. After being given Butterfly Pea Brew, the average menstrual pain was 0.51 with a P-Value 0.000 less than 0.05, meaning that there was a difference in menstrual pain felt before and after being given Butterfly Pea Brew. The mean value of menstrual pain before being given a ginger concoction is 6.02. After being given a ginger concoction, it decreased to 0.44 with a P-Value of 0.000 less than 0.05, meaning that there is a difference in menstrual pain felt before and after a ginger concoction. This study concludes that butterfly pea brew and ginger concoction effectively reduce menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea).
Methodological approaches to analyzing cash funds of enterprises
Authors: Bondarenko Natalya , Bobyr Olga
Published: July 2024

Conducting economic activities without attracting cash funds is not possible, as money plays a direct role in a variety of enterprise operations, whether it's paying rent, and salaries, providing the enterprise with fixed assets, purchasing raw materials, distributing dividends to shareholders, or paying for construction and installation work. The success of a business entity's activities and its ability to finance current operations while timely repaying debts to creditors and accumulating funds for further investment in production expansion depend on the balanced size of cash inflows and outflows. Therefore, the analysis of cash funds is an important component of economic analysis at every enterprise, aimed at finding ways to optimize based on evaluating the sufficiency of formation, effectiveness of application, as well as the balance of inbound and outbound cash flows. This article identifies the stages of analyzing the existing cash flows of a business entity and clarifies the information base used during its implementation. Relative liquidity indicators have gained the widest use among financial condition indicators. The article provides a characterization of liquidity indicators and summarizes scholars' views on determining their normative values. It is proven that the main difficulties arise during the interpretation of the analysis results, as there are no uniform standards even for liquidity ratios in economic literature, which leads to ambiguity in assessing the level of cash management success and their sufficiency to ensure the company's solvency. It is noted that achieving a balance between positive and negative cash flows is one of the main directions of optimizing cash flow. The article describes the composition of indicators characterizing the state and effectiveness of cash flow formation and the efficiency of cash fund utilization. It is emphasized that a reasoned and comprehensive economic analysis of cash funds creates conditions for rational cash management, as it helps to track key development trends of the enterprise, identify the main factors influencing it, and make further forecasts.

Published: July 2024

The cost indicators of the functioning of the public procurement system in Ukraine were studied. It is emphasized that in modern conditions, the public procurement system is one of the important means of socio-economic transformations in the country, contributes to the formation of a competitive market for sustainable and innovative development. It was emphasized that openness and transparency at all stages of procurement is one of their key principles, the main factor in combating corruption, abuse and waste of public funds. It is noted that the issue of transparency and openness of public procurement in wartime has been put on the back burner, the expected cost of procurement in 2022 was lower than in previous periods. The war significantly complicated the conduct of procurement, which significantly affected the publication of information about procurement The tendency to reduce the expected cost of purchases is also because due to the full-scale military invasion of Russia and active hostilities, the number of customers has also significantly decreased.. During 2022, there will be a significant reduction in procurement procedures by their main types. Access to information on all defense purchases was closed on Prozorro. In 2020, a new type of procurement appeared in order to combat the coronavirus – procurement without the use of the electronic Covid-19 system. During 2019–2022, the popularity of the procurement procedure using the electronic catalog grew. In 2021, customers began to use this type of procurement as a request for a quote. The expected value of competitive procurement during 2018–2021 is increasing, but in 2022 this indicator is 61.59% less than in 2021. The dynamics of the expected value of non-competitive purchases during the studied period have an upward trend. The efficiency of public procurement in 2021 and 2022 is almost 6%. Savings in purchases that were completed amounted to more than UAH 47.3 billion in 2020, about UAH 60 billion in 2021, and almost UAH 20 billion in 2022. Today, Prozorro does not have complete information on wartime purchases. That is why the issue of establishing the integration of the Prozorro and DKSU systems for data exchange becomes expedient and relevant.

Indonesia’s Non-Military Threats Dynamics: A Philosophical Perspective
Authors: Rahayu Liska , Sihombing Desi Natalia , Santoso Puguh
Published: July 2024

This study aims to provide a novel philosophical analysis of the non-military threats facing Indonesia, grounded in an examination of their ontological nature, epistemological understanding, and axiological value implications. Amidst an increasingly complex global security landscape, non-military challenges like pandemics, climate change, cyber-attacks, and terrorism have emerged as critical concerns. This study employs a descriptive qualitative methodology and thematic analysis to comprehensively explore and understand the multifaceted dynamics of the non-military threats confronting Indonesia. The research findings depict that through an ontological lens, the research categorizes Indonesia's diverse non-military threats into three forms: the ideational synthesis of socio-political and technological factors (idealism); empirically observable phenomena like natural disasters and disease outbreaks (materialism); and existential risks integrating conceptual and physical elements like radicalism and separatism (dualism). Epistemologically, comprehensive data acquisition from varied sources, coupled with interdisciplinary analytical frameworks involving experts, government, and community stakeholders, enables contextually grounded threat assessments and mitigation policies responsive to evolving conditions. Axiologically, ethical principles of human dignity, social justice, and environmental stewardship rooted in Indonesian cultural values must anchor decision-making processes. The study recommends refining frameworks to better understand diverse threats, improving processes for collecting and analyzing data, incorporating ethical considerations into policy development, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and integrating local wisdom into defense strategies for enhanced resilience at both community and national levels.

Selçuklular Karşısında Halife El-Kâ’im Biemrillâh’ın Hâkimiyeti Ele Geçirme Teşebbüsü
Authors: Kaymak Suat
Published: July 2024

el-Kâ’im Biemrillâh, hilâfetinin ilk yarısını (1031-1055) Büveyhî hâkimiyeti altında geçirmiştir. Büveyhîlerin iyice zayıfladığı bu dönemde halife, Selçuklu sultanı Tuğrul Bey’i Bağdâd şehrine davet ederek hem Büveyhîlerden hem de Arslan el-Besâsîrî’nin tahakkümünden kurtulmuştur. Bununla birlikte siyasî hâkimiyet, bu kez Selçukluların eline geçirmiştir. Tuğrul Bey’in ölümüne kadar el-Kâ’im, bu duruma herhangi bir tepki göstermemiştir. Ancak Tuğrul Bey’in, el-Kâ’im’in kızı Seyyide Hatun ile izdivacı mevzusunda iki taraf arasındaki ilişkiler gerginleşmiştir. 455/1063 senesinde sultanın ölümünden sonra da el-Kâ’im, Bağdâd’da herhangi bir siyasî otorite adına hutbe okutmayarak bir nevi kendi otoritesini kurmayı denemiştir. Hatta kendi adına sikke bastırmıştır. Otoriteyi tamamen ele geçirmek için mahallî hâkimleri yanına çekmeye çalışmış, fakat Şerefü’d-devle Müslim’in birtakım faaliyetleri karışıklıklara sebebiyet vermiştir. Güçlü bir siyasî otoriteden yoksun kalan Bağdâd’da yaşanan olumsuz gelişmeler neticesinde halife, Sultan Alp Arslan’ın ismini hutbeye ekleterek Selçuklu hâkimiyeti yeniden kabul etmiştir. Bu makale, Tuğrul Bey’in vefatının ardından Bağdâd’da yaşayan gelişmeler ile el-Kâ’im’in Abbâsî otoritesini tekrardan tesis etmek adına yaptığı faaliyetleri ele almaya matuftur.
Dehumanisation of Colonised Humans Revisited: Racial Speciesism And Caliban’s “Explod[ing] Prospero’s Old Myth” in Aime Cesaire’s A Tempest
Authors: Yelmiş İmren
Published: July 2024

The political turmoil between the 1950s and the 1970s that stemmed from the liberation movements in Africa, and in the Caribbean Islands, in which African/ black diaspora is so common, triggered many writers of the time to visit colonial literature in order to be able to find a meaning for the liberation struggles of the blacks. Similarly, Aimé Césaire, a Francophone literary and political figure, revisited Shakespeare’s The Tempest (around 1611), and adapted it into A Tempest (Une Tempête,1969). A Tempest is a play in which Shakespearean Prospero’s strong and univocal status is replaced by strong and rebellious Caliban, who subverts all the colonial discourses that marginalise and dehumanise the blacks. In the light of these discussions, this paper aims to discuss that in A Tempest, Caliban becomes an instrument for Césaire in order to demarginalise the blacks contrary to Prospero’s dehumanising methods applied through racial speciesism. By means of Caliban’s “explod[ing] Prospero’s old myth”, Césaire wants to prove that blacks are humans, too, with a glorious history and identity to be proud of.

Published: July 2024

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a disease characterized by hematopoiesis failure, bone marrow aplasia, and pancytopenia. It can be inherited or acquired. Although acquired AA is believed to be immune-mediated and random, new evidence suggests an underlying genetic predisposition. Besides confirmed genomic mutations that contribute to inherited AA (such as pathogenic mutations of TERT and TERC), germline variants, often in heterozygous states, also play an unignorable role in the onset and progression of acquired AA. These variants, associated with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) and inborn errors of immunity (IEI), contribute to the disease possibly through mechanisms including gene homeostasis, DNA repair, and immune injury. This article explores the nuanced association between acquired AA and germline variants, detailed the clinical significance of germline variants in diagnosing and clinical management of this condition. More works are encouraged to better understand the role of immunogenic pathogenic variants and whether somatic mutation participate as secondary “hit” in the development of bone marrow failure.

Published: July 2024

The current investigation into endoparasitic helminths in wild birds from various regions of Bangladesh sheds light on a previously unexplored aspect of avian parasitology in the country. The study used specimens provided by the Padma Bridge Museum Project, a sub-project of the Bangladesh government-owned Padma Multi-purpose Bridge Project (PMBP), where dead birds were utilized for museum specimens and taxidermy. A total of 22 specimens from 21 species of wild birds were examined in this study. The samples were primarily derived from the alimentary canal (gut) and liver of the hosts. It is important to note that the study faced limitations in calculating parameters such as prevalence and intensity since all hosts were single-sampled, except in the case of the Little Cormorant, where two samples were collected, both of which were found to be infected. The study identified six cases of helminth parasite infestation in the examined bird specimens. These findings provided valuable insights into the diversity of parasites affecting these avian hosts. The specific parasite species observed, along with the host species, are as follows- Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus Tunstall 1771) was infected with Serratospiculum tendo (Nitzsch 1819) in the air sacs. Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea Linnaeus 1758) showed infestation with Porrocaecumardeae (Frölich 1802) in the intestine. Little Cormorant (Microcarboniger Vieillot 1817) had two parasites found: Contracaecumrudolphii (Rudolphi 1809) in the crop and Ascaridia sp. (Dujardin 1945) in the intestine. Little Egret (Egrettagarzetta Linnaeus 1766) had Heterakis sp. (Schrank 1790) identified in the intestine. Bank Myna (Acridotheres ginginianus Latham 1790) was found to host Capillariaannulata (Milon 1800) in the crop. One notable aspect of this study is that all the parasite-host associations observed were reported as the first records in their respective hosts within Bangladesh. This finding highlights the importance of this research in enhancing our understanding of avian parasitology in the region and the potential impact of these parasites on wild bird populations.

Published: July 2024

Present study evaluated the toxicity of the leaf extracts of the plant Aegle marmelos(L.) Corrêa against the 4th instar larvae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae). The experiment was conducted in the ambient environment of the laboratory at the temperature (29 ± 2)ºC and (75-85)% relative humidity. Three solvents were used (viz. ethanol, chloroform and distilled water). A total of 25 actively swimming 4th instar larvae of the mosquito were exposed to various dose concentrations of the plant leaf extracts for 24 hours. Larval mortality was observed after 24 hours of exposure. For ethanol based leaf extracts, the larval mortality of mosquito at five different concentrations, viz. 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mg/ml were 5.33%, 44%, 56%, 73.33% and 97.33%, respectively. Chloroform based leaf extracts were tested with five different concentrations viz. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mg/ml at which the extracts showed 9.33%, 25.33%, 56%, 94.66% and 100% larval mortality, respectively. For the water based extracts, the dose concentrations were viz. 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 mg/ml at which the extracts exerted 30.66%, 54.66%, 60%, 68% and 90.66% larval mortality, respectively. With each dose 2 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to make the extracts soluble in water. The LC50 and LC90 values for ethanol based leaf extracts were 3.530 mg/ml, 5.836 mg/ml and 8.793 mg/ml, respectively. For chloroform based leaf extracts, values were 1.184 mg/ml, 2.127 mg/ml and 3.430 mg/ml, respectively. For distilled water based leaf extracts, values were 3.730 mg/ml, 15.502 mg/ml and 49.521 mg/ml, respectively. The relative potency of three types of leaf extracts of Aegle marmelosagainst the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus on the basis of , and values are as follows in decreasing order: chloroform based extract ( = 1.184 mg/ml, = 2.127 mg/ml and = 3.430 mg/ml) ˃ ethanol based extract ( = 3.530 mg/ml, = 5.836 mg/ml and = 8.793 mg/ml) ˃ water based extract ( = 3.730 mg/ml, = 15.502 mg/ml and = 49.521 mg/ml). It was found that chloroform extracts showed greater mortality of larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus than the ethanol extracts and that of the water extracts. From the results it can be concluded that the different solvent based crude extracts of the leaf of A. marmeloswas an excellent potential for controlling Cx. quinquefasciatus mosquito larvae.

Published: July 2024

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a degenerative change involving mitral valve annulus which has an increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. After first autoptic description, a diagnostic tool brought cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan to become the gold standard in MAC detection and classification. The Mitral annular calcifications has always represented an issue for cardiac surgeons, being it linked with an increased risk of atrioventricular groove rupture, circumflex artery injury, or embolism during Mitral valve surgery. As a consequence, different surgical techniques have been developed over time in order to reduce the incidence of these dreadful complications. Recently, transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) has emerged as a valid alternative to surgery in high-risk patients on the basis of TAVR. Both hybrid transatrial, transfemoral, or transapical approaches have been described to deliver balloon-expandable or self-expanding aortic transcatheter valves into the calcified annulus, with conflicting early and long-term results. Tendyne (Abbott Structural Heart, Santa Clara, CA, USA) is a promising transapical-delivered option.

Published: July 2024

Нові трансформаційно-історичні умови вимагають переосмислення ролі та місця енергетичної безпеки підприємств в системі життєво важливих інтересів особи, суспільства, регіонів і держави в цілому. Аналіз структури таких складних і багатогранних явищ, як національна безпека, національні інтереси, ресурси підприємств, потребує розробки ефективного механізму захисту суб'єктів безпеки на всіх рівнях проти численних загроз і небезпек.
В турбулентних умовах, з урахуванням негативних впливів зовнішнього середовища (економічні кризи, пандемії, військові та політичні конфлікти, екологічні катастрофи, природні катаклізми тощо), перманентно генеруються та впроваджуються радикальні реформи, які  охоплюють практично всі сторони діяльності вітчизняних підприємств, галузей та держави. Для вирішення цих завдань необхідно розробити стратегічні напрями забезпечення енергетичної безпеки підприємств в період нестабільності, які повинні базуватися на обґрунтуванні інноваційних векторів розвитку з урахуванням специфіки різних підсистем.
Процес переходу до сталого розвитку є глобальним, тому важливо скористатися перевагами розпочатого процесу глобалізації та спрямувати його економічну, енергетичну та соціальну складові, насамперед на реалізацію цілей сталого розвитку. Отже, процес глобалізації, що відбувається з ініціативи постіндустріальних країн, транснаціональних корпорацій і світових організацій, сприяв би переходу світової спільноти не до постіндустріального, а до сталого майбутнього всієї цивілізації.
Метою даної статті є формування стратегічних напрямів забезпечення енергетичної безпеки підприємств в період нестабільності.
В статті визначено, що при переході до сталого розвитку суспільства є ряд особливостей, завдяки яким вітчизняні підприємства можуть відігравати провідну роль у формуванні нової цивілізаційної моделі розвитку. Наразі важливо подолати системні кризи та знайти відносно стабільний та безпечний стан, з якого можна буде розпочати перехід на шлях сталого інноваційного та безпечного розвитку.
Авторами в статті проведено аналіз статистичних даних стосовно обсягу реалізованої промислової продукції за видами діяльності та постачанням електроенергії, газу, пари та кондиційованого повітря вітчизняними підприємствами за 2017-2023 рр.
В статті запропоноване стратегічно-орієнтоване підґрунтя забезпечення енергетичної безпеки підприємств в період нестабільності допоможе підприємствам забезпечити ефективну енергетичну безпеку, зменшити ризики і збільшити стійкість до зовнішніх впливів впливу.
