We evaluated serum level of S100B in 11 patients with subcortical vascular dementia (SVD) and 19 patients with subcortical vascular mild cognitive impairment (SVMCI). Comparable groups were age-matched (79,18 ± 7,76 in SVD group, 77,84 ± 3,83 in SVMCI; Р = 0,53). 22 patients were as-sessed after 1 month therapy. It was shown that the serum S100B level significantly increased – (0,065 ± 0,020) μg/l (Р = 0,0005) in SVD patients comparing to SVMCI ones – (0,043 ± 0,010) μg/l. S100B level was significantly correlated with the clinical parameters: MMSE performance (rs = –0,61), CDR (rs = 0,58), attention task (rs = –0,46), pseudobulbar syndrome severity (rs = 0,37) and walking alteration (rs = 0,37). In patients with reduction of S100B level due to therapy (positive dynamics, n = 12) we registered significant improvement of some clinical parameters: MMSE, attention level, walking. In patients with increasing of S100B level (negative dynamics, n = 10) we didn’t registered improvement of any clinical parameters. We made the conclusion that the serum level of S100B could be used as marker of progression SVMCI into SVD and therapy effectiveness.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes is formed in the absence of atherosclerotic changes as a consequence of diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy in the early stages of diabetes. Progression of autonomic cardiac neuropathy in cardio-vascular type is associated with the violation of energy supply of cells, protein synthesis, electrolyte exchange, the exchange of trace elements, oxidation reduction processes, oxygen-transport function of blood, so that metabolic therapy is carried out to optimize the processes of formation and energy costs. The drug cocarnit activates processes of aerobic oxidation of glucose, as well as providing regulatory influence on the oxidation of fatty acids. Applying of cocarnit in complex therapy in patients with diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy found improvement of left ventricular diastolic function, and positive dynamics in the efferent activity balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic control of heart rate variability, which provides the regression of clinical symptoms.

In this article there were analyzed gender data about features of hyperuricaemia and gout: women are much older at the onset of gout arthritis (one of main reasons, probably, makes menopause by itself), have more associated comorbid deseases as hypertension and kidney failure and drinks less alcoholic beverages. It was noticed, that typical localisation of the lesion on the first toe is less often in women, and women are more inclined to use diuretics among medical drugs. Abovementioned clinical features are of some importance for the broad activity of general practitioners – family doctors. Gender features of polyarthicular gout are not uniformed. Scientific researches confirmed possibility of the genetic basis of the uric acid metabolism, which influences some fenotypical features of the organism. Several genes are known for their influence on serum uric acid: PDZK1, GCKR, SLC2A9, ABCG2, LRRC16A, SLC17A3, SLC16A9 аnd SLC22A12. However, conclusions of the research works confirm the necessity of scientific clarification of the importance of different factors of gender differences.

The purpose of the research is to trace the implementation of the religious policy of the German military administration towards the Muslims of Crimea, taking into account the differences in the approaches of the German elite. The research methods are based on the use of both general scientific research methods (analysis and synthesis, systemic analysis, concretization, analogy), and research methods of historical sciences (historical-genetic, historical-systemic, historical-comparative), principles of historicism, systematicity, scientificity and verification. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the identification and detailed study of the religious policy of the German military administration in Crimea regarding Islam, as well as the disclosure of the political conflict of interests of the military administration and the central leadership in Berlin regarding its implementation in Crimea. Conclusion. The German elite of the Third Reich was heterogeneous, so two approaches to the implementation of the occupation policy in the East arose among them - "Prussian" and "National". These two approaches were reflected in the Muslim vector of religious policy, namely: the followers of the "Prussian" approach appointed Russian collaborators to administrative positions, which periodically harmed religious policy; in general, representatives of the "national" approach saw the strengthening of the Crimean Muslims as an opportunity to expand German influence on the Muslims of the USSR. Germany's religious policy towards the Muslims of Crimea pursued military goals - providing human resources for German military formations and a reliable rear of the Wehrmacht. Nazi-Muslim relations in the Crimea were generally fruitful in terms of the restoration of religious rights and freedoms. But there were two problematic aspects of the entire Islamic vector of the religious policy of the German military administration — the restoration of the Crimean Muftiat and the establishment of the legal legitimacy of the waqf.

Вживання алкоголю в суспільстві Гетьманщини ХVІІІ ст. як маркер якості життя
Authors: Сердюк Ігор
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the culture of alcohol consumption in the Hetmanate of the 18th century as a marker of quality of life. The author analyzed the diaries of Cossack elders and the epistolary heritage of this period, singled out references to the use of alcoholic beverages, circumstances, cases of abuse. The research methodology is determined by the purpose and features of the main sources and, in addition to the application of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis), involves the use of a microhistorical approach, elements of prosopography and social history. Since it is primarily about the analysis of diaries, the theoretical work of the French researcher Philippe Lejeune was applied, who examined the development of diaries from the "accounting of the past" to emotional notes. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that alcohol consumption is not considered as a bad habit or a certain branch of the economy, but as a component of a person's leisure behavior, the realization of undesirable needs, which also determined the quality of life. It was concluded that from the point of view of traditional markers of quality, Ukrainian early modern society was quite homogeneous (life expectancy, mortality, diseases). Even the diet of the common people and the elite was often similar. But the consumption of alcoholic beverages was just one of those markers that at the everyday level testified to a higher or lower level of well-being. But their consumer culture was significantly different. Precisely from the point of view of alcohol consumption - frequency, volume, and its assortment, one can observe the difference in everyday life and its quality. Belonging to a higher social status and financial resources provided access to higher quality alcohol and higher quality of its consumption. At the same time, the Cossack elder of the Hetmanate had access to alcohol produced in different countries and corresponding to the lifestyle of the European nobility of that time. In this way, the "precious" people of old Ukraine were similar to the European establishment.
Діяльність державних органів влади щодо подолання безробіття в УСРР у 1920-х рр.

The purpose of the article on the basis of archival sources and scientific heritage of domestic scientists analyzes the experience of practical activities of state authorities to solve the problem of mass unemployment of the population of the Ukrainian SSR in the 1920s. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of historical research: historicism, consistency, objectivity in the selection of facts and documents. Among the special methods used in the study should be called problem-chronological, historical-systemic, historical-typological. The scientific novelty of the article is to reveal the features of state policy and the activities of state authorities to overcome the unemployment of employees through the system of compulsory state social insurance. Conclusions. Having finally seized power in Ukraine, the Bolshevik leadership publicly declared the need to create an effective system of social support for especially vulnerable segments of the population. Of course, declarative slogans did not reflect real intentions and opportunities. Under the conditions of a debilitating civil war and economic devastation, it was quite natural to see a massive increase in the number of unemployed and a drop in the living standards of the population. This was especially exacerbated with the transition to a new economic policy. In the early 1920s a number of legislative initiatives were adopted to mitigate the unemployment situation. It was about the introduction of compulsory unemployment insurance at the state level. Insurance premiums paid by employers and employees were to become the financial basis for the payment of benefits to the unemployed. The implementation of this state policy on the ground relied on labor exchanges. However, excessive bureaucracy and a limited number of such institutions could not sufficiently solve this problem. The lack of funds for material support of the population was particularly acute, so the government was forced to look for alternative options: public works, in-kind assistance or the provision of various benefits. Active industrial construction, which began at the end of the 1920s, led to an increase in the demand for labor. In such conditions, the Party-Soviet leadership took a course to eliminate unemployment by administrative means, not recognizing as unemployed those workers who refused the job offered to them.
Дитячі будинки УРСР: вихователі vs вихованці (1945–1950-ті рр.)

The purpose of the article. To analyze the personnel, the interaction of educators with children, to highlight illegal actions and abuse of the staff of orphanages. The methodology of the research. The research uses complex and specific-historical approaches, general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) and special-historical (historical-genetic, comparative-historical) research methods. Scientific novelty consists in a deeper, systematic analysis of the personnel of orphanages and their interaction with pupils. Conclusions. Due to the fact that during the researched period work in orphanages remained in the category of low-paid and unprestigious professions, there was always an acute shortage of not only highly qualified, but also workers with at least the appropriate education. Often, people who had no relation to pedagogy and had no idea about working with children got into management positions in orphanages. This greatly complicated the life of orphans, and sometimes even threatened their lives and health, because low-qualified educators could not provide proper care, which sometimes led to accidents, sometimes to death. In addition, due to the fact that children's homes remained on the periphery of state supervision, favorable conditions were created for various abuses by the staff of these children's institutions. Most of the workers tried to get additional benefits for themselves, starting with excessive bonuses at any convenient opportunity and ending with the theft of property and funds intended for orphans. There were also quite a few cases when directors, and sometimes pioneer leaders, considered pupils as objects for their own sexual pleasure. In addition, it was practiced to use the labor of minor orphans who, with the permission of the directors, were assigned to private individuals as domestic workers.

Authors: Paredes Lourdes , Jimenez Hassel Jimmy , Renna Paola , Martínez de Cuellar Celia
Published: December 2023

Introducción: Las infecciones de sitio quirúrgico (ISQ), se encuentran entre las infecciones asociadas al cuidado de la salud (IACS) más frecuentes, la profilaxis antibiótica administrada en el período preoperatorio contribuye a prevenir las ISQ.

Objetivo:  determinar si los esquemas antimicrobianos utilizados para profilaxis en cirugía corresponden a recomendados por Guías Internacionales de Tratamiento de Enfermedades Infecciosas; así como conocer los esquemas antimicrobianos utilizados, estimar el costo de la quimioprofilaxis y comparar con los resultados obtenidos en un estudio similar realizado en el mismo servicio en el año 2005.

Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo donde se seleccionaron todas las historias clínicas de pacientes de ≤15 años de edad sometidos a apendicectomía, con diagnóstico posquirúrgico de apendicitis congestiva o flegmonosa, desde enero a diciembre del 2022. Se elaboró una planilla electrónica donde se cargaron los siguientes datos: antibiótico utilizado, dosis, número de dosis y momento de la administración.

Resultados: 53 pacientes ≤ de 15 años fueron sometidos a apendicectomía, de los cuales 21 llenaban los criterios de inclusión. Fue utilizado Amoxicilina/Sulbactam en 19/21. El número total de dosis administradas fue de 68 dosis y la media de 3,3±1,9 dosis; solo en 8 de los pacientes se administró el antimicrobiano profiláctico en el tiempo correcto; solo 1 paciente recibió el esquema correcto, 1 sola dosis, 1 hora antes del inicio de la cirugía. El costo de la profilaxis antimicrobiana por paciente fue de 15,7 USD.

Conclusión: Este trabajo nos permitió verificar la falta de aplicación de guías en el uso de antimicrobianos en la profilaxis quirúrgica, lo cual demuestra: i) la necesidad de revisar y estandarizar la conducta de prescripción relacionada en profilaxis quirúrgica, ii) la importancia de elaborar y socializar una guía de manejo de antimicrobianos y iii) el monitoreo de su implementación.

Authors: Tariq Wasim , Khan Nauman , Ghauri Muhammad Junaid
Published: December 2023

In April 2022, Pakistan went through another political and constitutional crisis. For the first time in Pakistan's history, a democratically elected Prime Minister was removed from office by a no-confidence motion. Although no Prime Minister could complete the constitutional five-year term due to the influential military and judicial interventions, this instance was unique in its kind. In Pakistan, the press produced political debates as much as political narratives. Drawing on the Indexing theory proposed by Lance Bennett (1990; 2016) this research is an effort to explore how to have the Dawn, The Express Tribune, The Nation, and The News International index Mr Imran Khan, Ms Maryam Nawaz, and Mr. Bilawal Bhutto during May to October 2022. It is pertinent to identify the key indexing elements within the news coverage of the selected political leaders by the selected newspapers. The results indicate that there is a considerable variation in the indexing of political figures across the selected newspapers, suggesting the presence of potential biases in their reporting.

Authors: Rubab Ammara
Published: December 2023

This study investigated the connection between motivation and team unity in the context of women's cricket, involving a sample of 100 cricketers from three clubs in Lahore city, spanning ages 18 to 32. Each participant filled out two questionnaires: the Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron et al., 1985) and the Sports Motivation Scale (Pelletier et al., 1995). The study was designed with a cross-sectional approach and is rooted in quantitative research methodology.The purposive sampling approach was adopted. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were used to evaluate the data in SPSS version 23.0. A noteworthy correlation was reported between intrinsic motivation and team cohesion (r=0.638**, p<0.001) and between extrinsic motivation and team cohesion (r=0.623**, p<0.001). Furthermore, overall motivation scores also displayed a substantial correlation with the cohesion of the team (r=0.633**, p<0.001).These findings provide early evidence that it's essential to encourage and inspire the players in order to have an influence on the team atmosphere.

Heart disease is a prevalent ailment that adversely impacts the structure and function of the cardiovascular system worldwide, primarily affecting the heart and blood vessels. Research has indicated a higher prevalence of heart disease in Asian countries compared to Western nations, with South Asia bearing a considerable burden. Pakistan, as a developing country, is also grappling with the challenges posed by heart disease. Consequently, this research aimed to comprehend the significance and social support role and managing mechanisms in association with the quality of life-related to the health experienced by individuals with heart conditions. The research methodology employed in this study was a survey design, and data collection took place in hospitals located in Sargodha. A purposive and snowball sampling technique was utilized to gather information from 140 heart patients. The findings explored significant differences in social support, managing mechanisms, and quality of life-related to the health of heart patients based on their gender.
Resiliencia y autoorganización del grupo mazahua de milpa intercalada con árboles frutales (MIAF)
Authors: Balcazar Quiñones Ana Paola , Moctezuma Pérez Sergio , Vizcarra Bordi Ivonne , White Olascoaga Laura
Published: December 2023

En este artículo se analizan las narrativas de autoorganización de la población productora de milpa intercalada con árboles frutales (MIAF) en la región mazahua al noroeste del Estado de México. Se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo de tipo biográfico, mediante entrevistas a 13 productoras/es. Las y los productores MIAF fueron impulsados por actores externos desde 2018 y se les proporcionó semilla, material para la siembra y capacitaciones. Posteriormente, se autoorganizaron de tres formas: acción colectiva, interacción entre productoras/es y dependencia de recursos propios. Como limitantes están los costos en la producción de alimentos y las políticas públicas. Encontramos que las narrativas de autoorganización abonan a la discusión sobre la resiliencia socioecológica. Es importante que las y los productores MIAF potencien su acción colectiva para hacer frente a las adversidades, principalmente a la sequía. Tanto a nivel familiar como comunitario se pueden impulsar prácticas sostenibles destinadas a desarrollar la resiliencia.
Optimal growth conditions for avocado (Persea americana Mill.) seedlings using biofertilizer-based approach with biosurfactant diethanolamide palm olein and neem extract

Published: December 2023

Avocado is a much-loved fruit with high nutritional content. However, its current production has declined due to excessive and continuous use of chemical fertilizers. Biofertilizers can be applied to reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers, promoting soil health and fertility by providing essential macro and micronutrients for better plant growth. This study aimed to determine the optimal dosage and method for the combined application of biofertilizer, biosurfactant diethanolamide (DEA) palm olein, and neem extract on avocado seedlings. The experimental design used was a factorial randomized complete block design with two factors. The first factor was the biofertilizer dosage (B) and the second factor was the application method (M). Results indicate that a 10 mL/L biofertilizer dosage, 5% DEA, and 35% neem extract show the best effects on plant height, leaf chlorophyll levels, stem diameter, and the number of avocado leaves. The application method of applying to the planting medium yields the best results for plant height, leaf count, and leaf chlorophyll levels. There was an interaction between treatments regarding plant height at 10 weeks after transplanting (WAT) and leaf count at 8 WAT. Biofertilizer application by pouring is recommended as an alternative to inorganic fertilizers for promoting healthy avocado seedling growth.
Comparative constructions of equality in Ossetic
Authors: Sinitsyna Yulia
Published: December 2023

The study deals with equative (‘Mary is as tall as Peter’) and similative (‘Mary sings like Peter’) constructions in the Iron dialect of Ossetic. I focus on the morphosyntactic and semantic features of constructions with Standard markers -aw and χʷəžзn. The morphosyntactic criteria I am using are the part of speech of the Standard of comparison (Peter) as well as the syntactic position of the Comparee (Mary). As for the semantics, I am looking at the type of the construction — equative, similative, or predicative (She is like her sister) — and at the referential status of the Standard of comparison (specific or generic). With both markers, the Comparee can occupy a rather low syntactic position. The Standard of comparison can also be a non-finite verb form, apart from a noun phrase. The main difference between the two Standard markers is their semantics. The equative case -aw tends to be used in similative constructions and expresses a comparison of manner. The predominance of generic Standards in constructions with -aw can be explained by the scope of comparison. Referring to a predicate, the -aw form modifies an action or attribute, comparing it with another action or attribute. Comparison of the two situations as a whole allows -aw to be combined with specific Standards, which turned out to be less acceptable otherwise. The postposition χʷəžзn can occur both in equative and similative constructions; in addition, it can mark a Standard used as an attribute of the Comparee.
International Corridor “North – South”: The Transport Project, or Big Geopolitics?
Authors: Luzyanin Sergey G.
Published: December 2023

The development of the International Transport Corridor “North-South”, designed to provide transport links both with African countries and with India, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, etc., began back in 2000. The implementation of the project in the current difficult geopolitical conditions turns it into a real alternative to the sea route connecting Europe, the countries of the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal. The Chinese vision of the project focuses on the possibilities of connecting the One Belt and One Road initiative with the Russian-Iranian ITC, as well as the projects in Central Asia and the Caspian Sea zone. Russia is the main link of the North – South international transport corridor, which is moving from an applied transport and technological project into the category of Russian instruments of great geopolitics.
The article analyzes the key transport, economic and international political aspects of the North – South project, including internal Russian and external South Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Armenia), Caspian (Iranian), Indian and Chinese characteristics, optimization opportunities and options for further Russian regional integration on the Eurasian continent.
Punjabiyat vs “Punjabistan”: Features of Punjabi Ethnic Nationalism (A Case of Pakistan)
Authors: Filimonova Alina L.
Published: December 2023

The essay focuses on the specific features of Pakistani punjabiyat, which is interpreted as Punjabi ethnic nationalism. Having analyzed the Pakistani punjabiyat in the perspective of classic theories of ethnic nationalism and South Asian nationalism concepts, the author defines its characteristics and explains the connection between the specific form of Punjabi ethnic nationalism in Pakistan and the process of “punjabization” understood as the overwhelming influence of Punjabis in the country, which has begun since its inception in 1947.
Ethnic nationalisms and consequent regional ethnic movements are a typical feature of almost all large ethnic groups in Pakistan. However, Punjabis have not only avoided this behavioral pattern: they commonly renounce their group identity for the sake of the unifying Pakistani ideology (pakistaniyat).
Analysis of the specifics of Pakistani punjabiyat leads us to the conclusion that its growth has been slowed down and hindered by the “punjabization”. Punjabiyat as an idea of the Punjabi ethnic identity has lost to “Punjabistan” perceived as the de-facto social, economic and political dominance of Punjabis in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
The Decision of Fedotova v. Russia by the European Court of Human Rights on the Same-Sex Partnership
Authors:   The Korean Society Of Family Law, Yune Jinsu
Published: December 2023

On January 17, 2023, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights ruled in Fedotova v. Russia that Russia’s failure to provide legal recognition to parties in same-sex unions violated Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights. This article aims to introduce the above judgment.
In 2015, the decision of Oliari v. Italy by the European Court of Human Rights opined that Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to marry) did not guarantee the right to marry for same-sex couples. However, it declared that Italy bore the positive obligation to provide the legal institution for the protection of the same-sex couple based on the Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to respect for private and family life).
The Fedotova decision reached the same result against Russia. While the Oliari judgment was based on internal Italian circumstances, the Fedotova decision is significant because it applies not only to Italy and Russia, but to all countries that are party to the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Fedotova decision was based on the positive obligation of the state to respect the Convention Right. Whether such a positive obligation can be recognized in Korea requires further discussion.
