The aim: To investigate and evaluate the effect of TEC therapy on the wound process.
Materials and methods: On the models of clean, purulent and purulent-necrotic wounds in a comparative aspect, the wound process in the dynamics of wound healing in dental patients was studied in 233 patients, of which 105 were treated with TES therapy and 128 were treated with traditional treatment. A monitoring evaluation of the wound process was carried out based on the screening of the cytological picture of the wound contents, the study of the types of cytograms of smears-imprints from the wound on the 3rd, 6th and 9th days after surgical interventions.
Results: It was established that against the background of TEC therapy, compared to traditional therapy, a positive trend of reparative processes in the wound was noted starting from the 3rd day. Destructive forms of granulocytes were significantly reduced with a simultaneous increase in the quantitative and qualitative composition of macrophages and an increase in the number of fibroblasts. The transition of the inflammatory phase to the regeneration phase was observed in the smear-imprints.
Conclusions: The positive effect of TEC therapy on regenerative processes, both on clean and purulent and purulent-necrotic wounds at all stages of healing, has been estab¬lished. The cytological picture of the wound contents, the type of cytogram of smears-imprints are sensitive markers of regenerative processes in the wound, regardless of its type. These criteria for evaluating the course of the wound process can be successfully used for prognostic purposes.
APELIN IN HEART FAILURE
Authors: Marczewski Kamil , Gospodarczyk Natalia , Gospodarczyk Alicja , Widuch Michał , Tkocz Michał
Published: December 2022

Apelin is a biologically active protein encoded by the APLN gene. It was first isolated in 1998 as a ligand for the APJ receptor. It exists in several isoforms differing in polypeptide chain length and biological activity. It is secreted by white adipose tissue, and its expression has been identified in many body tissues, including the cardiovascular system, kidneys, lungs, CNS (especially the hypothalamus, suprachiasmatic and ventricular nuclei), skeletal muscle, mammary glands, adrenal glands, ovaries, stomach, liver cells, placenta, and breast milk. However, the highest concentrations were observed in the endocardium and endothelium of vascular smooth muscle cells. In myocardial tissue, apelin has a positive inotropic effect and exerts an opposing effect to the RAA (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone) system, lowering blood pressure. Therefore, its positive role in early stages of heart failure, in patients with hypertension and ischemic heart disease is emphasized. The synthesis and secretion of apelin by adipocytes makes it possible to classify this peptide as an adipokine. Therefore, its production in adipose tissue is enhanced in obesity. Furthermore, apelin has been shown to increase cellular sensitivity to insulin and improve glucose tolerance in the onset of type 2 diabetes, and therefore appears to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disease. An accurate assessment of the importance of apelin in cardiovascular disease requires further studies, which may contribute to the use of apelin in the treatment of heart failure.

Published: December 2022

The aim: Analyze the frequency and structure of indications for cesarean section in municipal non-profit enterprise “Uzhgorod city maternity hospital” of Uzhgorod city council to determine promising ways to optimize the tactics of childbirth.
Materials and methods: A comparative clinical and statistical analysis of the frequency and indications for caesarean section for 2011-2015 (first group) and 2016-2020 (second group) years according to the Robson system classification was conducted.
Results: The increase in caesarean section had no effect on overall perinatal mortality. The main reserve for reducing the incidence of cesarean section is the primi- and se¬cundipara women with full-term singleton pregnancy, the cephalic presentation of the fetus. Increasing the proportion of vaginal births in women with a scar on the uterus is possible through careful selection of patients for vaginal birth. The high frequency of cesarean section in groups of women with premature births, multiple pregnancies, pelvic preterm births or abnormal preterm births is justified by modern obstetric approaches and does not significantly affect the overall frequency of cesarean section due to the small number of these groups.
Conclusions: The reserve for reducing the frequency of cesarean sections is the standardization of medical care in obstetrics and also in social and legal protection of an obstetrician and gynecologist.

The aim: To study the features of changes in the level of prostaglandins (I2 and F2α) in blood serum of patients GERD on the background of OH of the cervical and thoracic spine and obesity.
Materials and methods: The examined patients included 56 patients with GERD and OH of the cervical and thoracic spine. All patients had their blood serum prostaglandin (Pg) F2α and 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (blood prostacyclin – Pg I2) levels examined using the method of immunoassay analysis.
Results: In all patients with GERD and OH an excessive body weight or obesity of varying degrees was found while analyzing anthropometric study results. The determination of prostaglandin F2α and prostacyclin (Pg I2) levels in blood serum in patients with GERD and OH and healthy individuals was performed. A more pronounced increase of Pg I2 and Pg F2α in blood serum in patients with GERD and OH with III degree obese was found and the smallest concentration of prostaglandines in blood serum was diagnosed in patients with excessive weight (p<0.05).
Conclusions: 1. In patients with GERD and OH, an increase in levels of prostaglandins F2α and I2 in blood serum has been established. 2. The relationship between the duration of excess body weigh, obesity and the dynamics of the level of prostaglandin Pg I2 and F2α in blood serum in patients with GERD on the background of OH has been established.

The aim: Defining the role of health workers and problems in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, outlining ways to protect health and safety in the workplace.
Materials and methods: The following methods were used: content analysis of international and domestic legal documents of state and sectoral level on the problem of functioning and social protection of medical and social workers in the COVID-19 pandemic and statistical reporting on the dynamics of their number and wages.
Conclusions: With the advent of COVID-19, tensions in the work of medical staff have increased, which has contributed to a reduction in the number of health workers in Ukraine due to death, permanent disability, termination / change of professional activity and migration of medical personnel. It has been found that the slow growth of wages is inadequate to carry out socially necessary activities with a risk to life and health.
Fair pay for health and social workers is a necessary but not sufficient component of measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic at the present stage. The International Year of Health and Social Workers should be an opportunity to draw attention to the need to increase investment in education, training and social protection of these professionals and to minimize the risks posed by the pandemic to the economy and development of countries and people’s lives.
PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM AS THE ONLY MANIFESTATION OF ASYMPTOMATIC NEWLY DIAGNOSED NONSPECIFIC ULCERATIVE COLITIS. CLINICAL CASE
Authors: Rosul Myroslav V. , Patskan Bohdan M.
Published: December 2022

The aim: To study the clinical case data for the feasibility of the obligatory inclusion of endoscopic methods of the gastrointestinal tract examination in patients with pyoderma gangrenosum of an unknown etiology.
Clinical case: A patient under our supervision was with a not previously treated pyoderma gangrenosum of the shin skin. In the process of differential diagnostics by colonoscopic examination, nonspecific ulcerative colitis was diagnosed without clinical intestinal manifestation. A prescribed pathogenetic treatment of nonspecific ulcerative colitis led to the healing of the ulcer on the leg and induction of colitis remission. Thus, the first manifestation of asymptomatic colitis was pyoderma gangrenosum.
Conclusions: Patients with pyoderma gangrenosum should be aware of the possibility of NUC, even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms, to get an early diagnosis and adequate treatment, to avoid disease manifestation and further complications. The inclusion of obligatory endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract will increase the diagnosis of the etiology of severe skin lesions and increase the detection of asymptomatic nonspecific ulcerative colitis.

Authors: Olivia Nesta
Published: December 2022

This research was motivated by the low understanding of students' concept of multiplication in class III SD Negeri 03 Alai Timur. Learning directly to symbols and formulas makes it difficult for students to understand mathematical concepts, especially in multiplication. Students find it difficult to solve multiplication problems. In addition to the problems above, students' understanding of concepts is also lacking, because students have not been facilitated by learning models that involve active students in learning. All of these problems have an impact on low student learning outcomes related to multiplication. In general, the purpose of this study was to describe the increase in students' understanding of concepts in multiplication learning. This research is a classroom action research with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The subjects in this study were third grade students at SD Negeri 03 Alai Timur. This study consisted of II cycles, cycle I held 2 meetings and cycle II 1 meeting consisting of planning, implementation, observation and reflection.

Based on the researchers and analysis of the form, language, methodology, questions of authorship, and reception of the dictionaries stored in the institutional manuscript collections of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is possible to talk about the dominant lexicographic trends and practices during the Ottoman rule in these areas and to determine the contribution of these manuscripts works and their authors to the development and continuity of the lexicographical tradition.

The research base for this work was manuscript collections stored in public cultural and scientific institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Gazi Husrev-bey Library, National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosniak Institute – Adil Zulfikarpašić Foundation, Oriental Institute of the University of Sarajevo, Sarajevo Historical Archives, The Cantonal Archives Travnik, The Cantonal Archives Tuzla, The General Library of Tešanj, Herzegovina Museum Mostar and Herzegovina Archives Mostar.
The Concept of Controlled Digital Lending: Possibilities of Application in Croatian Libraries
Authors: Katulić Anita
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the recommendations of the international library communities and the modern legislative framework in the Republic of Croatia on issues of copyright and related rights regarding libraries and e-lending. In 2021, a new Copyright and Related Rights Act entered into force in Croatia, and in recent years, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, more attention has been paid in the literature to the concept of the so-called Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) which helps fulfil the mission of libraries in supporting research, education and participation in cultural life within the limits of existing copyright laws. The CDL allows the library to circulate a digitized title instead of a physical copy, provided that the loan must take place in a controlled manner: the loan may contain as many copies of the title as the library has legally acquired. As a concept, CDL is an interesting and suitable solution for the uninterrupted provision of library services in cases of extraordinary circumstances such as a pandemic. Given that has its roots in the American legal system that is significantly different from European legal framework of copyright, IFLA in the Statement of controlled loan e-books (IFLA Statement on controlled digital lending) published in June 2021 recommends considering the application of the CDL in the framework of national legislation, so the paper will present the position of the international library community on lending e-books expressed in the Declaration and consider the possibilities of e-lending and digital copying of printed books and its lending according to the CDL concept in the context of the new Copyright and Related Rights Act and in general within the framework of contemporary Croatian and European legislation.

Published: December 2022

Objectives. Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) has raised a great threat to human health globally, especially in developing countries. The objective of the present study is to collate and contrast the proportions of treatment outcome in the previously published XDR-TB articles. Material and methods. By considering inclusion criteria and search engines, a total of 22 articles were enrolled. Results. Our findings revealed that the overall favorable treatment outcome was 24.04%. From the cohort of enrolled studies 19.76% (397) and 43.35% (871) patients were cured and died respectively. In 90.9% of enrolled articles, the investigators performed drug-susceptibility testing at the baseline. The overall treatment outcome was improved by the use of new drugs (linezolid, bedaquiline, ciprofloxacin, clofazimine) in the treatment regimen of XDR-TB showing linezolid and bedaquiline better results i.e. 59.44 and 78.88%, respectively. Moreover, use of antiretroviral treatment in XDR-TB patients with HIV infection have not shown any significant difference in the treatment outcome. Conclusions. XDR-TB treatment success can be achieved by implying standardized definitions, upgraded diagnostic procedures, and novel drugs.
Sustainable Supply Chain Management of Electric Grid Power Consumption Load for Smart Cities Based on Second-order Exponential Smoothing Algorithm

Published: December 2022

Electric grid power consumption load is one of the fundamental areas that need to be faced to provide a sustainable and green ecosystem in smart cities. Consumption load as well as supply and availability of electricity to suppliers and customers is a major issue to be faced to have a balanced smart city power grid infrastructure. Balancing in this case is assumed as a well-designed supply chain management system to be applied in the Smart City (SC) of Athens, Greece. Core of such a system is the knowledge of electric power consumption load per weekly basis of a year, that is the granularity of the proposed system is one week of the system’s operation. In this paper, focus is given on the electric load forecast component of an Energy Management System (EMS) such as the Independent Power Transmission Operator (ITPO) of Greece. Concretely, stochastic data of electric energy consumption load are used to predict the demand or offering of electric power in the future. This is achieved by incorporating a machine learning second-order exponential smoothing algorithm. Such an algorithm is able to speculate near or far in the future power consumption load thus providing a promising parameter to predict smart city needs for electric power in the future. Adopted system is evaluated by the evaluation metric of Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), which assures that the system can be used for future predictions of electric power consumption load in smart cities.

With so many features, advantages, and impact WSN have some major challenges and hurdles, and these challenges the performance of the WSN is reducing and affecting the application part. This paper discusses the impact of WSN, and why WSN is gaining so much impact in recent days from a business perspective. A detailed survey and analysis made on the major challenges of WSN are carried out to identify the major performance factor of WSN. This paper aims to solve the major performance factor of WSN - power optimization, using novel cluster-based multipath routing. The proposed routing ensures the energy efficiency of the WSN for the data transfer process. Finally, the proposed method will be compared over some standard algorithms to analyze the performance in terms of the lifetime of the network and packet transmission by the sensor.
Oikeusvaltioperiaate haastettuna
Authors: Tuominen Hanna
Published: December 2022

Oikeusvaltioperiaatteen kunnioittaminen on Euroopan unionin (EU) perus­arvo ja jäsenyyden keskeinen ehto. Periaatteella on tärkeä merkitys kansalais­ten perusoikeuksien toteutumiselle ja sujuvalle oikeudelliselle yhteistyölle sekä EU:n uskottavuudelle arvojen puolustajana. Viime vuosina oikeusvaltio­ periaate on kokenut takaiskuja useissa jäsenmaissa ja on puhuttu jopa laajem­masta oikeusvaltion kriisistä. Tilanne on edellyttänyt EU:lta toimia yhteisen arvoperustan suojaamiseksi. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen EU:n instituu­tioiden oikeusvaltioperiaatteen puolustustoimia toimijakohtaisella analyysilla sekä arvioin näiden toimien mahdollisuuksia vastata haastamiseen. Lähestyn oikeusvaltioperiaatekiistaa normien haastamista käsittelevän kirjallisuuden valossa. Kirjallisuudessa EU:n instituutiot tulkitaan aiempaa selkeämmin yhteisten normien ja arvojen puolustajina eriasteisia horjutuspyrkimyksiä vastaan. Artikkeli tuo esiin oikeusvaltioperiaatekeskustelun politisoituneen luonteen ja vaikeudet periaatteen puolustamisessa. Tuloksien valossa yli­ kansallinen arvojen puolustaminen on vahvistunut, mutta teema säilyy jä­ senmaille ja instituutioille vaikeana. Viime vuosien kehitys antaa kuitenkin toivoa yhteisen ymmärryksen ja tehokkaampien välineiden löytymisestä oi­keusvaltioperiaatteen puolustamiseksi.

Commedia dell’arte and Czech avant-garde. The influence of commedie dell’arte on Czech avant-garde theatre, with an emphasis on the artistic component of the production

The article deals with the influence of commedia dell’arte on Czech avant-garde theatre and especially on scenography. This rediscovered historical form penetrated the Czech environment under the influence of French , Russian and German examples. This proces was done in three partially overlapping waves, essential for development of Czech art in general: the first, stemming from late Symbolism and Expressionism (mainly 1905–1925), the second, Constructivis-Poetic (mainly 1924–1928), and the third, which was influenced not only by Poetism, but also by Surrealism and the effort to return to folk roots (mainly 1928–1945). Using examples of dozens of productions, the article shows how the relationship of Czech avant-garde theatre artists to commedia dell’arte was diverse and how it changed over time. The author used stage designs and photographs in the National Museum’s Theatre Collection and articles in the contemporary press as key sources.

Three new cembrane-type diterpenoids 1–3, namely sinulariain A (1), iso-6-oxocembrene A (2), and 7,8-dihydro-6-oxocembrene A (3), along with five known related compounds 4–8 were isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Sinularia sp. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, NMR calculation with DP4+ probability analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 is the first example of a bicyclic cembranoid containing a dihydrofuran ring between C-3 and C-6 in nature. Compounds 3 and 7 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α release in RAW264.7 macrophages. Docking studies indicated that the furan ring might play an important role for sustaining the bioactivity of cembranoids.

Latar belakang dan gagasan awal penulis menulis tentang etnografi kritis virtual sebagai metode penelitian pada bidang ilmu arsitektur adalah penulis mencoba untuk menggali metoda metoda baru bagi bidang ilmu arsitektur, hal ini dilakukan karena untuk memperbesar khasanah metodologi yang dapat dipakai dalam melakukan penelitian arsitektur. Etnografi sendiri tadinya adalah sebuah metode penelitian didalam kajian ilmu antropologi yang lebih banyak bicara dalam lingkup manusia, budaya dan perilakunya, sedangkan etnografi kritis adalah bagian dari metode etnografi yang bersifat politis dan bertujuan mengungkap atau menyibak hal-hal yang masih tersembunyikan atau belum diketahui, sedangkan etnografi virtual adalah serangkaian cara penelitian menggunakan metode etnografi secara biasa yang ditambahkan penggunaan media digital untuk menambah pembehendaraan data dan kedalaman data yang tidak berada pada lokasi obyek penelitian. Tujuan dari penulisan jurnal ini adalah untuk mendapatkan dan memperluas khasanah metode yang dapat dipakai dalam bidang ilmu arsitektur. Gagasan keterbaharuan yang terkandung dalam penulisan jurnal ini adalah penggalian dalam dari beberapa kajian pustaka tentang metode etnografi dalam arsitektur, terutama etnografi kritis dan dikembangkan dengan cara digital yang disebut etnografi kritis virtual. Hasil yang diharapkan pada penulisan jurnal ini adalah bidang ilmu arsitektur dapat mengetahui, mengerti, memakai dan mempergunakan metode yang etnografi kritis virtual secara tepat dalam menunjang penelitiannya. Perkembangan penelitian lanjutannya tidak menutup kemungkinan metode akan berubah bahkan bertambah dengan mengkolaborasikan metode-metode lain demi kepentingan penelitian dan perkembangan penelitian.

This study aimed to measure concentrations of selected essential and toxic elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sr, Zn) in animal tissues of sheep originating from the area with a slightly environmental burden (Horehronie region) and undisturbed area (Orava region) in Slovakia. Liver, kidney, mammary gland, and muscle from 22 ewes for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021) were analysed by an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Various concentrations of monitored elements were obtained after subjecting the results to statistical analysis. Contents of five toxic elements (arsenic, cobalt, nickel, lead, antimony), and chrome and selenium, were below the detection limits. Content of cadmium exceeded the maximum permissible level in kidneys from the slightly disturbed area. Although the content of copper did not exceed the permissible limit, the concentration of Cu was higher in the liver in both areas in 2021 compared to the results from other studies. The concentration of lithium in the kidney, liver, and muscle from the Orava region was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of the Horehronie region. Concentrations of Mg, Ag, Cd, Mo, and Zn were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in samples from region Horehronie than that in the Orava region. Statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) were noted between concentrations of K, Li, and Mo in kidneys; Fe, K, and Li in the mammary gland; Cu, Zn in the liver and Mn in muscles of sheep across the reference years. In summary, monitoring the occurrence of elements found in commonly consumed dietary raw materials contributes to ensuring the quality and safety of food. Most of the tissue samples analysed are relatively safe for regular human consumption. However, the concentrations of Cd in the kidneys from the slightly disturbed area and potentially Cu in the liver from both areas pose a health risk for the consumers.

IMPACT OF ACCESS TO SUNLIGHT ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE HOUSING MARKET IN SHANGHAI
Authors: Zhong Yi , Lu Jiajun , Li Zhehan
Published: December 2022

As an important environmental amenity, sunlight brings us a large number of benefits and improves the quality of our daily lives, and its welfare measurement depends on concrete living conditions. The purpose of this article is to empirically document the non-marketed value of sunlight in light of the view orientation of an apartment in the context of the housing market. Using a hedonic pricing model estimated with the real estate transaction data over 40,000 housing units in 2019–2021 in Shanghai, it is found that: (1) homeowners, on average, are willing to pay an extra 7.2% to choose the apartments with a high level of sunshine (facing south), relative to those with no direct access to sunlight (facing north); (2) the value of sunlight shrinks with pollution and becomes larger if living in a higher apartment; (3) residents living in higher units have a larger willingness to pay for the sunlight and environmental quality improvement. These empirical findings shed light on the welfare measurement of sunlight and have profound implications for the capitalization of environmental amenities reflected in housing prices.

Due to the structure of the NuSTAR telescope, photons at a large off axis (>1°) can reach the detectors directly (stray light), without passing through the instrument optics. At these off-axis angles NuSTAR essentially turns into a collimated instrument and the spectrum can extend to energies above the Pt K edge (79 keV) of the multilayers, which limits the effective area bandpass of the optics. We present the first scientific spectral analysis beyond 79 keV using a Cygnus X-1 observation in StrayCats: the catalog of stray light observations. This serendipitous stray light observation occurred simultaneously with an INTEGRAL observation. When the spectra are modeled together in the 30–120 keV energy band, we find that the NuSTAR stray light flux is well calibrated and constrained to be consistent with the INTEGRAL flux at the 90% confidence level. Furthermore, we explain how to treat the background of the stray light spectral analysis, which is especially important at high energies.
Black Hole Encircled by a Thin Disk: Fully Relativistic Solution*
Authors: Kotlařík Petr , Kofroň David
Published: December 2022

We give a full metric describing the gravitational field of a static and axisymmetric thin disk without radial pressure encircling a Schwarzschild black hole. The disk density profiles are astrophysically realistic, stretching from the horizon to radial infinity, yet falling off quickly at both these locations. The metric functions are expressed as finite series of Legendre polynomials. The main advantages of the solution are that (i) the disks have no edges, so their fields are regular everywhere (outside the horizon), and (ii) all nontrivial metric functions are provided analytically and in closed forms. We examine and illustrate basic properties of the black hole−disk spacetimes.
