Automated high-throughput live cell monitoring of endothelial cell migration
Authors: Schmidt Kevin , Lerm Dominik , Schmidt Arne , Dickel Nicholas , Fiedler Jan , Thum Thomas , Kunz Meik
Published: November 2023

Background: Cellular migration is important for physiological and
pathological processes. As such, angiogenesis and regenerative wound
healing are reliant on the promotion of distinct endothelial cell
phenotypes exhibiting increased migratory capacity. Functional
monitoring of these hallmark events in vitro is invaluable for
discovering novel therapeutics. However, while respective methods are
usually simple and economic, they often lack a high-throughput character
or accurate analysis tools, which are essential for effective screening
suitability. Experimental approach: We stained nuclei of confluent human
umbilical vein endothelial cells with Hoechst33342 prior to induction of
an artificial scratch wound. Treatments with various growth factors and
several concentrations of nintedanib were performed to evaluate impacts
on wound closure. Images were taken frequently over 24 h to achieve high
time-resolution. We developed an ImageJ macro and a Python script for
automated analysis of these image sets. Utilizing cell-free area
measuring or cellular density evaluation, respectively, cellular
migration behavior was assessed well-wise for each time point. Key
results: We proved the functionality of our novel tools and identified
pro-migratory effects of interleukin 1β as well as inhibitory actions of
nintedanib. Hoechst33342 staining allowed for cell counting which could
be excluded as a contributing factor to wound closure in our assay.
Conclusion: We herein developed a cost-effective, high-throughput
pipeline that allows to monitor endothelial cell migration in vitro. We
believe that our protocol will significantly accelerate pre-clinical
screenings not only for medications targeting angiogenic processes but
also drug discovery research in a broad range of diseases with altered
vascularization.
Organic Carbon Stocks and Accumulation Rates in Surface Sediments of the Norwegian Continental Margin
Authors: Diesing Markus , Paradis Sarah , Jensen Henning , Thorsnes Terje , Bjarnadóttir Lilja R , Knies Jochen
Published: November 2023

The role that continental margin sediments play in the global carbon
cycle and the mitigation of climate change is currently not well
understood. Recent research has indicated that these sediments might
store large amounts of organic carbon; however, Blue Carbon research
continues to focus on vegetated coastal ecosystems as actionable Blue
Carbon. Marine sediments are considered emerging Blue Carbon ecosystems,
but to decide whether they are actionable requires better
quantifications of organic carbon stocks, accumulation rates, and the
mitigation potential from avoided emissions. To close some of these
knowledge gaps, we spatially predicted organic carbon content, dry bulk
density and sediment accumulation rates across the Norwegian margin. The
resulting predictions were used to estimate organic carbon stocks in
surface sediments and their accumulation rates. We found that organic
carbon stocks are two orders of magnitude higher than those of vegetated
coastal ecosystems and comparable to terrestrial ecosystems in Norway.
Accumulation rates of organic carbon are spatially highly variable and
linked to geomorphology and associated sedimentary processes. We
identify shelf valleys with a glacial origin as hotspots of organic
carbon accumulation with a potentially global role due to their
widespread occurrence on formerly glaciated continental margins. The
complex and heterogenous nature of continental margins regarding organic
carbon accumulation means that to close existing knowledge gaps requires
detailed spatial predictions that account for those complexities. Only
in this way will it be possible to evaluate whether margin sediments
might be actionable Blue Carbon ecosystems.
Inner ear, nose and pharynx - signs and symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 infection
Authors: Pisaric Milica , Lemajic-Komazec Slobodanka
Published: November 2023

Introduction. The most common clinical symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019
include cough, high body temperature, malaise, weakness, headache, and
diarrhea. When the pandemic slowed down, more and more patients reported
symptoms atypical for the infection, such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and
vertigo. The aim of this study was to assess current knowledge and data on
the existence and prevalence of otorhinolaryngology sings and symptoms of
coronavirus disease 2019. Material and Methods. The literature was reviewed
from May to December 2022 and included articles published in 2020 or later.
The main criterion was confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 infection by means of the polymerase chain reaction test.
Results. Sensorineural hearing loss presents as acute, chronic and
subclinical. Tinnitus is associated with direct viral invasion and social
factors. Vertigo is also associated with direct viral invasion and prolonged
bed rest. Olfactory and gustatory disorders are known symptoms of viral
infections. Olfactory dysfunction occurs as a consequence of the existence
of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors in the nasal mucosa, which is
the primary site for viral binding, and which explains the absence of nasal
congestion. It has been shown that the pediatric population presents with
different clinical symptoms of the infection. In children, rhinorrhea and
pharyngitis are the most common symptoms, while in adults they are generally
absent. Conclusion. The available literature data showed that
otorhinolaryngology symptomatology of coronavirus disease 2019 is present,
but the data are still very limited. The literature showed vast
discrepancies in the prevalence and risk factors associated with coronavirus
disease 2019. It is imperative that more research is done on the topic now
that the pandemic is subsiding, and more attention should be paid to
non-life-threatening symptoms.

Abstract Diabetes affects the kidneys, and presence of albuminuria reflects widespread vascular damage and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Still, the pathophysiological association between albuminuria and CVD remains incompletely understood. Recent advantages in non-invasive imaging enable functional assessment of coronary artery pathology and present an opportunity to explore the association between albuminuria and CVD. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the presence of sub-clinical coronary artery pathology in people with type 2 diabetes, free of overt CVD. Using multimodal imaging, we assessed the coronary microcalcification activity (18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), plaque inflammation (64Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT) and myocardial flow reserve (82Rubidium PET/CT). The study population consisted of 90 participants, stratified by albuminuria; 60 had historic or current albuminuria (urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 30 mg/g)), and 30 had normoalbuminuria (UACR < 30 mg/g). We demonstrated that any albuminuria (historic or current) was associated with a more severe phenotype, in particularly higher levels of microcalcifications and impaired myocardial microvascular function, however, coronary inflammation activity was similar in people with and without albuminuria. Our findings establish a potential underlying mechanism connecting cardiovascular and kidney diseases and could indicate the initial stages of the cardiorenal syndrome. Article Highlights · Why did we undertake this study? to explore the pathophysiological association between albuminuria and CVD. · What is the specific question we wanted to answer? Is albuminuria related to a more severe phenotype of sub-clinical coronary pathology? · What did we find? Albuminuria was associated with higher levels of coronary microcalcification activity and impaired myocardial microvascular function. · What are the implications of our findings? This establishes a potential underlying mechanism connecting cardiovascular and kidney diseases and could indicate the initial stages of the cardiorenal syndrome

Authors: Krykavska Iryna , Povalena Mariana , Muzyka Ostap-Zenovii
Published: November 2023

The article examines the issue of information security as a state of protection of the vital interests of a person, society and the state, in which damage should be prevented due to: incompleteness, untimeliness and implausibility of the information used. The current situation in Ukraine, in particular the war with Russia, deepens the understanding of the urgency of the need to build an effective system to ensure the protection of the Ukrainian information space, in particular the Internet. In order to ensure information security, normative acts regulating the main issues were adopted, in particular the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated December 29, 2016 "On the Information Security Doctrine of Ukraine", as well as the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated March 18, 2022 "Regarding the implementation of a unified information policy in the conditions of martial law." However, informational threats on the Internet are a very dynamic phenomenon that requires constant response and improvement of the legal regulation of their submission The Internet affects information security both positively and negatively. On the one hand - full access to all information, with the possibility of further filtering, checking, and determining for yourself which sources can be trusted and which should not, on the other hand - the ease of promoting hostile narratives, due to the insufficiency, and in some cases, the impossibility of control. The Internet network affects information security both positively and negatively, on the one hand, full access to all information, with the possibility of further filtering, checking, and determining for yourself which sources can be trusted and which should not, on the other hand, the ease of promoting hostile narratives, through the lack of control, as well as the ease due to ignorance to fall into the wrong tags, for example, those people who use the Internet in Russian will have mainly pro-Moscow news in their feed, and without knowledge of both languages it is very easy to fall under the influence of propaganda. The ways of negative influence used by the enemy in the information environment of the Internet have been studied. The essential priority directions necessary to counteract large-scale information threats on the Internet, the enemy's information warfare operations, are outlined. An important conclusion is the need to increase the level of information literacy of the population of Ukraine in order to overcome information threats on the Internet.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. In the context of current national legislation and regulations of the European Union, the article examines the theoretical and practical principles that determine the peculiarities of concluding banking contracts on the Internet using modern web interfaces and similar mechanisms (primarily, click-wrap and browse-wrap contracts) in the light recognition of reality. The methodological basis made up of general and private methods of scientific knowledge. The general scientific method of dialectical cognition, formal-dogmatic, comparative-legal method, linguistic methods, methods of deduction, induction, analysis and synthesis were used in the research process. The subject of the study is the norms of civil law on the contract, the norms of banking law on the conditions of certain types of banking contracts, the procedure for their conclusion and execution. It noted that the actions of the right holder of the program, including the bank, with the aim of further concluding an electronic contract on certain terms with unspecified counterparties, should be qualified as a public offer. Acceptance of this offer must create rights and obligations for the person who is the right holder of this program, regardless of his awareness of the fact of concluding such an agreement. The need for special legal regulation of the procedure for concluding banking contracts on the Internet substantiated. The procedure for concluding these contracts can found in the instructions of the National Bank of Ukraine, which defines the requirements for the banking institution regarding the additional identification of clients in the procedure for concluding banking contracts in the form of an Internet bank. The use of a smart contract requires a legal framework that would define the legal nature, concept and legal mechanism of a smart contract. An offer for the conclusion of a contract received in the personal account; the client accepts it using the actions provided in the software, which can be equated to a qualified electronic signature.
Theoretical and legal aspects of the efficiency of legal policy in the sphere of domestic violence: social causes of the problem
Authors: Andrusіak Iryna
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes social factors that affect the spread of the problem of domestic violence as a socially negative phenomenon that encroaches on physical integrity and other personal human rights. It is posited that domestic violence can be caused by social factors that affect family relationships and contribute to conflicts and aggression and the behavior, beliefs, attitudes and life correlations of individuals and groups. They cover various aspects of social and state life and include the following elements: economic and political situation in the state, educational component, way of life and features of its transformation, and others. State problems affect citizens, economic crises, poverty of the population provokes a number of other factors that, when positioned at the individual level, cause the problem to spread to many households, it has been proven that there is a positive correlation between domestic violence against women and low income. The level of education and access to education can contribute to personal and professional development, and in the social aspect to overcome inequality and discrimination. Social success, behavior, social life largely depends on the education system, which includes the process of knowledge transfer, which, through effective, actually existing institutions of society, provides young people with enough knowledge for life and development. It is reasoned that the level of education is negatively correlated with domestic violence against women, and higher education significantly reduces the risk of domestic violence against women. It has been proven that recent pandemic threats and military actions as a factor of problems in the state system and political reality have a significant impact on the behavior of the population in various areas, including causing domestic violence. It is motivated that when developing policies to prevent and combat domestic violence, it is important to recognize the intersection of social, cultural-mental and individual factors, in order not only to take into account each factor, but also the complex interaction that exists between them.

Authors: Bundz Rostyslav , Pіdhorodetska Oksana
Published: November 2023

The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation created new problems related to treason. The issue of treason is relevant in today's conditions, because it always remains a place for ensuring national security, sovereignty and inviolability of the state. Treason is a serious criminal activity that can bring colossal consequences for the future state. The article reveals shortcomings in the legislation associated with an insufficiently effective system of regulation, implementation and execution of punishments, research and analysis of the problems of criminal prosecution for treason in the conditions of war in Ukraine is carried out. Attention is focused on the issues of a fair trial, rights of protection of plaintiffs and compliance with international legal norms. The article examines the legal status and definition of treason in Ukrainian legislation, as well as statistics on the consideration of treason cases during the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. The article highlights the current problems of criminal prosecution for treason in the conditions of the war in Ukraine, which threatens the national security of the state - peculiarities and problems of implementation. . An important aspect is the determination of which specific actions can be considered treason and which interests of the state are violated. The issue of treason can become the subject of political manipulation and persecution. The state needs to maximally ensure the fair punishment of those citizens of Ukraine who commit criminal offenses against the national security of Ukraine in wartime conditions. The authorities must ensure adequate protection of national security and the ability to effectively respond to threats. Ukrainian legislation needs further work on improving the definition and application of the concept of treason, as well as providing legal guarantees to protect citizens from possible abuses.
Reasons and conditions of latency of certain criminal offenses, which are committed against participants in criminal proceedings
Authors: Huzela Mykhailo
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of the latency of criminal offenses committed against participants in criminal proceedings, as one of the elements of assessing the real level of crime in the sphere of justice and, in particular, in the sphere of criminal proceedings. Based on the analysis of scientific positions on the definition and main signs of latency, expressed by a number of scientists in the field of criminology, material and procedural law, it was established the presence of a whole set of prerequisites for ascertaining a high level of latency of crime in relation to participants in criminal proceedings. With the help of general scientific methods of cognition, the objective patterns of the latency of certain types of criminal offenses in the analyzed area have been clarified, and effective mechanisms for overcoming the latency of criminal offenses committed against participants in criminal proceedings have been proposed through the identification of a complex of prerequisites for a high level of latency of crimes in this area. In this regard, a system of mechanisms for the detection of this type of criminal offenses has been formulated through the conditional separation of uncognizable latent criminality from cognizable criminality, since the vast majority of latent criminal offenses committed against participants in criminal proceedings are covered by the concept of cognizable criminality, which undoubtedly has practical significance for the development systems of crime prevention measures in this area.
Categorical negative conclusion in the examination of narcotic drugs
Authors: Zubyk Victoria , Baranyak Volodymyr
Published: November 2023

The article examines the rationale for an expert's categorical negative opinion on the example of an expert study of narcotic drugs from the poppy plant. The plant mass submitted for examination, which by its external features resembles poppy straw, was examined by microscopic and chemical methods. The microscopic examination revealed anatomical and morphological elements characteristic of poppy sleeping pills, which is the basis for classifying the substance under investigation as poppy straw. According to the List of Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Precursors, poppy straw containing narcotically active opium alkaloids is a narcotic drug. To confirm the presence of narcotically active opium alkaloids in poppy straw, the study was carried out by microscopic and thin-layer chromatography. As a result of the study, it was established that the poppy straw provided for the study did not contain any narcotically active opium alkaloids, and, therefore, was not a narcotic drug. The absence of opium alkaloids can be explained by the multiple extraction of poppy straw, as evidenced by its appearance, colour and smell of the solvent. The study of the residues of a dark brown substance from the surface of the dishes was carried out by thin-layer chromatography according to the standard method. As a result of the study, trace amounts of morphine, which is a narcotic drug, were found. The results of the study provided a categorical negative conclusion, which may be the basis for closing the criminal proceedings. The presence of a small amount of morphine in the substance on the surface of the dishes does not significantly affect this decision. Key words: categorical negative conclusion, forensic examination of narcotic drugs,narcotic drug, poppy straw, anatomical and morphological elements of poppy, opium alkaloids, extraction of poppy straw, microscopic method, thin-layer chromatography method.
Application of information and telecommunication technologies in criminal proceedings in Ukraine
Authors: Kantsir Volodymyr , Kryzhanovskyi Anatolii
Published: November 2023

Some aspects of the use of information and communication and digital technologies /»video conference mode»/, software products during proceedings, relevant technical and procedural mechanisms of application, storage (archiving) of evidentiary information, and their regulation in domestic and other countries' legislation were studied. The use of the latest technologies during judicial proceedings becomes relevant in the case of the impossibility of a person's «physical presence» to participate in certain procedural (investigative) actions, court proceedings: in the event of an artificial or natural situation declared (introduced) in the state, a state of martial law, a state of emergency, implementation measures to ensure national security and defense, repel armed aggression of the Russian Federation. In the development of innovative technologies, individual problems that arise before the participants of criminal proceedings are subject to a fairly quick and, most importantly, operational solution with the help of modern information and communication technologies and products. If at the stages of the pre-trial investigation or trial of the case, the direct participation of a person is impossible due to objective reasons; the competent persons have given the legal permission to decide on the conduct of individual investigative or procedural actions in video conference mode. The most rational, in this context, are software products related to the improvement of telecommunication networks, in particular, the use of online services and platforms. It is only possible to single out the rapid development of mobile information technologies, particularly the mobile Internet. This field of communication all over the world, and in Ukraine as well, is mastering new standards that allow for faster and better exchange of information.
The effectiveness of the ban on pro-russian political parties: experience and realities
Authors: Sydii Olha , Shulhan Iryna
Published: November 2023

The legal regulation of the prohibition of political parties in Ukraine and foreign countries in the article is examined. The key issue in the issue of banning political parties is the mechanism of this ban and its effectiveness in protecting fundamental human rights, national security of Ukraine and protection of the democratic constitutional order. Since information security is an important front line, Ukraine is defending its independence and democracy in this area. In this regard, it is of particular relevance to improve national legislation and state policy in the field of information space protection and restriction of the activities of pro-Russian political parties. It is emphasized that the right to freedom of association of citizens into political parties is a reflection of the pluralistic nature of a democratic political regime. The activities of political parties allow for the real influence of various social groups on the political life of the State. At the same time, the need to ensure this pluralism and other constitutional values requires the legislator to introduce special mechanisms to protect the democratic constitutional order, in particular, by establishing special restrictions on the activities of public associations. The key issue in the prohibition of political parties is the mechanism of this prohibition and its effectiveness in protecting fundamental human rights, national security of Ukraine and protection of the democratic constitutional order. The main models of banning political parties are analyzed. The practice of banning political parties in Ukraine since 2014 in the context of Russia's hybrid aggression against Ukraine is considered. A mechanism for improving the legal regulation of the ban on the activities of pro-Russian political parties in Ukraine is proposed based on the experience of countries with stable democracies and taking into account the challenges facing Ukraine's national security today.

Published: November 2023

The occurrence of a voltage drop in the electrical panel load in the common area of ​​the Gandaria Heights apartment monitored by the Building Automation System (BAS) is caused by an erratic change in power factor (cosphi). Because according to data taken from recording through the daily logsheet, a power factor of 0.75 is obtained. Eliminating power losses in 3 phase electrical installations with a total power of 300 KVA is to improve the Power Factor against voltage drop disturbances. By adding a capacitor to the common area electrical panel which is indicated to have the lowest power factor. Based on calculations using field data, the total KVAR before and after repairs is 124 KVAR. If the existing capacitor has a value of 50 KVAR, then 3 step capacitors can be installed with a total of 150 KVAR. Thus leaving a reactive power of 26 KVAR or equivalent to 17.3% of the total power of 150 KVAR

Berdasarkan hasil studi pendahuluan dan wawancara dengan siswa mengenai pembelajaran menyusun teks cerita pendek mengalami permasalahan, yaitu kesulitan yang dialami siswa dalam mengungkapkan gagasan serta mengalami writers block saat menulis cerita pendek. Hal ini disebabkan kurangnya pemahaman mengenai persiapan atau tahapan menulis bahwa kegiatan menulis harus melalui langkah-langkah yang meliputi tahap prapenulisan, penulisan, dan pascapenulisan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keterlaksanaan penerapan metode urai kode sastra, keberhasilan peserta didik kelas VII F MTs Negeri 1 Bandung Kab. Bandung dalam menyusun teks cerita pendek setelah penerapan metode urai kode sastra dalam pembelajaran, dan mendeskripsikan dampaknya terhadap kreativitas siswa kelas VII F MTs Negeri 1 Bandung Kab. Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kombinasi (mix methode) antara metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif (sequential exploratory). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai Sig. (2-tailed) untuk kemampuan berpikir kreatif sebesar 0,000 sehingga lebih kecil dari 0,05 (0,000 < 0,05). Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan berpikir kreatif pada kegiatan pretes dan postes. Untuk lebih menunjukkan pengaruh variabel X terhadap variabel Y dapat dilihat dari perbandingan nilai thitung dan ttabel. Berdasarkan tabel coeffecients diketahui bahwa thitung sebesar 4,377. Sedangkan untuk besaran ttabel sebesar 2.020. Dengan demikian, nilai thitung sebesar 4,377 > ttabel 2,020 sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa variabel X (metode urai kode sastra) berpengaruh terhadap variabel Y (kreativitas siswa) sehingga dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menyusun teks cerita pendek.

Membaca dan menulis merupakan salah satu langkah awal  seseorang agar dapat mengembangkan dirinya. Kemampuan baca tulis yang dimiliki oleh seorang anak juga akan berpengaruh pada pendidikannya di masa yang akan datang. Kemampuan membaca yang rendah akan bisa diasosiasikan dengan rendahnya prestasi sekolah, kurangnya literasi saat dewasa, serta meningkatnya masalah perilaku dan tingkat putus sekolah. Tak dapat dipungkiri bahwa membaca banyak sekali memberikan manfaat positif. Salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk meningkatkan minat baca dikalangan peserta didik adalah dengan Gerakan Literasi Sekolah yaitu membaca 15 menit sebelum pembelajaran dimulai. Penerapan ini kemudian dihubungkan dengan pembelajaran membaca pemahaman dan diharapkan dapat menumbuhkan nilai-nilai karakter yang positif. Berdasarkan penelitian langsung pada sekolah yang sudah menerapkan Gerakan Literasi Sekolah, hasil yang diperoleh adalah bahwa Gerakan Literasi Sekolah sangat berpengaruh terhadap pembelajaran membaca pemahaman karena dengan terbiasanya mebaca, cara memahami bacaan akan lebih cepat terserap. Dari hasil bacaan yang sudah dicerna tentu banyak manfaat yang dirasakan oleh pembaca salah satunya adalah karakter yang dimiliki setiap hari dijalankannya. Karakter itu adalah karakter yang positif yang dapat menjadi atmosfer di sekolah tersebut.
