Published: April 2024

Lip reading is a complex but interesting path for the growth of speech recognition algorithms. It is the ability of deciphering spoken words by evaluating visual cues from lip movements. In this study, we suggest a unique method for lip reading that converts lip motions into textual representations by using deep neural networks. Convolutional neural networks are used in the methodology to extract visual features, recurrent neural networks are used to simulate temporal context, and the Connectionist Temporal Classification loss function is used to align lip features with corresponding phonemes.
The study starts with a thorough investigation of data loading methods, which include alignment extraction and video preparation. A well selected dataset with video clips and matching phonetic alignments is presented. We select relevant face regions, convert frames to grayscale, then standardize the resulting data so that it can be fed into a neural network.
The neural network architecture is presented in depth, displaying a series of bidirectional LSTM layers for temporal context understanding after 3D convolutional layers for spatial feature extraction. Careful consideration of input shapes, layer combinations, and parameter selections forms the foundation of the model's design. To train the model, we align predicted phoneme sequences with ground truth alignments using the CTC loss.
Dynamic learning rate scheduling and a unique callback mechanism for training visualization of predictions are integrated into the training process. After training on a sizable dataset, the model exhibits remarkable convergence and proves its capacity to understand intricate temporal correlations.
Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, the results are thoroughly assessed. We visually check the model's lip reading abilities and assess its performance using common speech recognition criteria. It is explored how different model topologies and hyperparameters affect performance, offering guidance for future research.
The trained model is tested on external video samples to show off its practical application. Its accuracy and resilience in lip-reading spoken phrases are demonstrated.
By providing a deep learning framework for precise and effective speech recognition, this research adds to the rapidly changing field of lip reading devices. The results offer opportunities for additional development and implementation in various fields, such as assistive technologies, audio-visual communication systems, and human-computer interaction.

The aim of this study is to outline the authors vision regarding the essence and consequences of the impact of processes accompanying the recent industrial revolutions on the intellectual capital of high-tech enterprises. The research is based on the experience of the European Union countries, which are actively adopting the achievements of Industry 5.0. Emphasis is placed on its significant difference from its predecessor, namely: focusing on the ecological consequences of innovative transformations in technologies and the interests of humans – their generators and users. Based on the results of historical analysis of changes in the structure of fixed capital, the conclusion has been drawn regarding the reactive acceleration of technological progress. The third industrial revolution is distinguished from the fourth, and the latter, in turn, from the fifth not by centuries, as previously thought, but by decades. Therefore, there is an obvious need to prepare in advance for new changes in productive forces in the nearest perspective. This is relevant for businesses, educational institutions (especially providers of higher education), for the state, and public administration authorities. In confirmation of this statement, information is provided on the use of the Internet of Things by manufacturing plants of the EU with a staff of 10 persons. A graphical model of industrial intellectual capital is proposed, the structure of which reflects the current transformations of this important economic resource. From it follows the conclusion about its qualitative enrichment that has occurred, the need to prepare for the next update of technologies, forming the ability to meet them without fear for one's own fate, and the desire to resist innovations. The expediency of creating specialized professional teams, regardless of the physical location of their participants, is emphasized. The task facing them is to establish productive discussions on improving the quality of business processes through the exchange of experience, resources, information, and opportunities among people united by common professional interests, generating constructive ideas, supporting their development, and implementation into practice.

COVID-19 and military operations, having significantly affected the financial and economic activities of Ukrainian enterprises, have actualized the need to solve the complex problem of security on new grounds. The previously dominant policy, which consisted in analyzing mainly internal information to determine the current level of security and establish the main threats, followed by the development of measures to eliminate them, turned out to be insufficiently effective in the face of a significant impact of external factors. It is emphasized that a particularly difficult situation has developed for trade enterprises due to the divergent behavior of consumers and suppliers. The purpose of the research was defined as outlining the content of the related concepts "uncertainty" and "information" with the further improvement of information provision of security activities of trade enterprises. In order to create a basis for improving the information provision of the security activities of trade enterprises, the following methods were applied: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of the essential characteristics of the terms "uncertainty" and "information"; synthesis and analysis – for the formation of provisions in the interpretation of "valuable" information and "informational noise"; morphological analysis – to clarify the principles of meeting the informational needs of security subjects; graphic – for visual representation of theoretical and methodical material; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and research conclusions. Based on the clarification of the content of the interrelated concepts "uncertainty" and "information", the conditions for meeting the information needs of security subjects were considered. The classification of uncertainty in accordance with the specifics of the functioning of trade enterprises has been deepened, in particular by highlighting such types of uncertainty as: human, technical and social. Attention is focused on the emergence of uncertainty in the activities of trading enterprises due to: the difficult predictability of the actions of consumers and competitors; insufficient quantity and quality of data for decision-making; lack of clarity in the established goals and criteria for their achievement; time limitation; the impossibility of predicting the severity of the influence of external factors, etc. The principles of bringing the content of the information environment of the enterprise to the needs of security subjects through the installation of filters and separation of information noise are substantiated.

Today, the increase in innovative activity in organizations of all branches of the national economy is a key to the development of the state's economy in general. However, in the rating of innovative and active industries, the construction industry occupies one of the last places. Emphasizing the differences of construction organizations, one can assume the need to use different approaches to solving the problems of increasing their innovative potential. In this task, the innovative development of organizations of the investment and construction complex, taking into account the application of new technical developments, is of a strategic nature and requires decision-making only at the level of top managers and enterprise owners. Innovative development of the organization takes the form of a purposeful process that causes qualitative changes, complex and multifaceted, regarding the specifics of the construction company as a socio-economic system. System analysis is important, which makes it possible to choose an effective vector for increasing the innovative potential of the organization of the investment and construction complex. Arguments justifying the need to increase the innovative activity of construction organizations are presented. The strategic nature of innovative development is shown. The need for a systematic approach to increasing the innovative potential of organizations in the construction industry is substantiated. The issue of project integration into the management system of the construction organization was considered. The concept of development and its main distinguishing aspects in the pre- and post-crisis periods are considered; the current state of development in Ukraine is characterized; the impact of the organizational structure and management of the development project on its results is considered. The article considers conceptual approaches to the development of the development of the investment and construction sphere. A conclusion was made about the expediency of land development, which involves the transition from "spot" development to complex development of territories. Also, the problem of increasing the efficiency of the process of introducing innovations in construction is considered. In order to ensure the maximum financial return and reduce the incurred costs, the authors suggest using the fi-development scheme as a management innovation.

This work focuses on the fact that the rapid development and spread of new information and communication technologies has led to radical changes in the information sphere at the global level, which has a significant impact both on financial markets as a whole and on various sectors in which banks play an important role as financial intermediaries. It is noted that modern banks operate in conditions of rapid and irreversible changes in technology, competition in the market for banking services, the growth of non-banking organizations, changes in customer behavior and regulatory changes. This work analyzes the strategy of building the e-Stonia information society, the main principles of its functioning and the main components. Some characteristics of innovations introduced into the banking environment are determined. The most common types of innovative banking products are presented. The process of digitalization of relations between banks and other financial market participants is analyzed. It is noted that the interest in the banking system in the conditions of the digital economy is due to the need to solve a number of specific issues outlined in this article. The main changes in the functioning of the banking system as a result of the digitalization of the economy are analyzed. The need for further research into the security of banking operations is emphasized, taking into account the instability of world financial markets, technical progress and the potential of financial crises.. The article defines the classification of threats that pose risks to banking security in two directions. A list of conditions guaranteeing the financial security of banks is also given, and the principles reflecting the process of ensuring financial security in the banking sector are detailed. The main components that make up the bank's financial security have been determined. It was established that the factors affecting the financial security of banks lead to the loss of the bank's resource base (capital, labor resources and client base), lack of access to digital technologies and the full functioning of the financial institution. It is believed that the direct impact of digitalization on economic growth is related to the level of its innovativeness.

Shattering Stereotypes: The Power of Women in Indian Sports for Societal Transformation
Authors:   The Shri Ram School- Aravali, India, Awal Manan
Published: April 2024

Abstract: The research paper talks about the exploration of women's empowerment through sports as a tool in India. It addresses the various problems that sportswomen in India face: lack of media representation, visibility, recognition, funding, opportunities, and gender inequality. It uses the method of literature review to analyze the empowerment of women through sports through four themes in the form of a thematic analysis: breaking gender stereotypes, economic empowerment, media representation and visibility, and health and well-being. The paper discusses the advantages of women in sport and the benefits of sport in general. Previous findings by UN Women and the IOC show that there was a large percentage increase in women considering themselves leaders after a sports programme held to empower women. The results of this research paper show that there is clear evidence that there has been a step forward in terms of women’s participation in sports. Due to positive social and cultural change to reduce gender inequality, more women can now become athletes. Also, recent scholarship programmes and financial aid are great ways of boosting the development of women through sports. Additionally, sport provides athletes with the determination to keep going, resilience to never back down, and mental strength to show that they are strong and capable. Sportspeople like P.V. Sindhu, Deepika Kumari, and Mithali Raj have worked extremely hard to become visible, gain recognition, make their country proud, and do economically well for themselves. Through this research paper, sport as a tool for women's empowerment was explored. Keywords: Women empowerment, gender inequality, leadership, women in sport
‘Rent a Womb Tourism’: Narratives of Unheard Surrogate Mothers in Delhi, India
Authors:   Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India, B. Shatakshy
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Commercial Surrogacy is typically understood simplistically, in that a woman carries someone else’s baby in exchange for monetary compensation, a myriad of complexities exists among the intended parents, doctors and the surrogate mothers who invest in the process; emotionally, mentally and financially. Potentially, surrogacy offers one of the most promising opportunities not only for couples to become parents but also for surrogate mothers to earn a living. However, a woman bearing someone else’s child for money is at odds with the patriarchal conception of motherhood that is often viewed emotionally. Surrogacy involves marketisation of the reproductive capacity of women. There is an emotional outburst when it comes to commodifying reproductive labour while other forms of labour (productive) have been historically commodified. This ulterior outburst has often been expressed through vocal debates rooted in women’s reproductive labour being exploited through commercial surrogacy, which eventually led the Government of India to pass the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2019. With this context, the paper brings out the lived experiences of surrogate mothers through a phenomenological method of interviewing. The paper identifies that women should have the right over their reproductive labour and the ban on commercial surrogacy takes away women’s autonomy over their bodies. Keywords: Autonomy, commercial surrogacy, patriarchy, reproduction

Needs, modes, and stances: Three cardinal questions for psychotherapy practice and training
Authors: Rafaeli Eshkol , Rafaeli Alexandra K.
Published: April 2024

Background

Advances in motivational science (Dweck, 2017), personality dynamics (Lazarus & Rafaeli, 2023), and process-based psychotherapy (Hofmann & Hayes, 2019) converge into a pragmatic, integrative, and transtheoretical model of practice and training.

Method

The model comprises three elements: a formulation centered on clients’ psychological needs which provides guidance regarding the goals and processes most profitable to pursue; a recognition that such pursuit frequently requires contending with a multiplicity of clients’ internal self-states (i.e., modes); and an enumeration of pragmatic therapeutic stances likely to help address clients’ need-related goals in light of their modes.

Results

We distill these elements into three cardinal questions: What needs does this client have that are not currently met, and what are the most profitable ways of remedying that frustration? What mode or modes does this client manifest – both generally and at this very moment? and What stance should I adopt in response to the client’s current mode? We suggest that clinicians should be trained to continually pose these questions and seek to answer them collaboratively with their clients.

Conclusion

This model – illustrated here using schema therapy terms – offers a process-based approach which serves as a theoretically integrative starting point but is general enough to provide an assimilative integration roadmap for therapists anchored in most primary orientations. Integrative or assimilative therapists trained to attend to needs, modes, and stances are likely to be (and be perceived as) particularly responsive, and thus, to enact “common factor” practices known to be conducive to therapeutic alliance and gains.
Net Farm Income Impacts Net Worth Growth
Authors: McClure Glennis
Published: April 2024

The beginning of the year is busy for businesses in finalizing records and filing annual income taxes. Farm and ranch operations are no exception. Beyond the net income or loss showing on the farm’s Schedule F, analyzing the true picture of the operation’s net farm income, and earned net worth change for the year is important.

Preparing an income statement using accrual adjustments will tell us more about the operation’s profitability and performance beyond what income tax statements provide. The income statement tells the story of revenue, expenses, and depreciation between the beginning of year balance sheet and the end of the year balance sheet. Hence, an important use of an income statement is to relate true profitability from the beginning of the period to the end as we observe changes in the balance sheets.

Um livro infantil não há de ser tão perigoso
Authors: Scorsolini-Comin Fabio , Pacífico Soraya Maria Romano
Published: April 2024

Na contemporaneidade, o contexto educacional brasileiro tem sido marcado por retrocessos que envolvem a tentativa de ruptura com os ideais democráticos, além da presença da ideologia neoliberal. Este ensaio busca discutir de que modo a ideologia determina a produção e/ou o apagamento de sentidos no ensino de literatura e no espaço escolar. Em termos metodológicos, o corpus foi constituído pela obra Quase de verdade, de Clarice Lispector, que narra a epopeia de um coletivo de aves que se contrapõem à exploração do seu trabalho, combatendo a opressão. Os gestos de interpretação foram produzidos por meio dos conceitos de autoria e ideologia mobilizados na análise do discurso pecheutiana, a AD. Esses conceitos nos auxiliam a compreender como a literatura pode se colocar, na escola, a serviço da humanização, da transformação social, do pensamento crítico e da democracia. Considerando que não é possível conceber uma ação educativa desprovida de ideologia, “Quase de verdade, na escola” se apresenta como um catalisador da polissemia e de uma interpretação contínua, capaz de enfrentar os desmantelos promovidos por uma educação ilusoriamente apartidária.
A complex interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors shapes plant diversity patterns in Mediterranean coastal dunes

A long history of human colonisation has profoundly altered Mediterranean coastal dunes, as well as their capacity of providing ecosystem services important for human well-being. The provisioning of these services depends on the integrity of the dune system, which is formed and maintained by coastal plant communities. Analysing the drivers of plant diversity loss is thus crucial for preserving Mediterranean coastal ecosystems. Using 20 cm resolution orthophotos, we mapped a wide Mediterranean coastal landscape and obtained a set of variables describing the distribution, abundance and size of natural (coastal dune habitats) and anthropogenic (urban areas and tourism facilities) patches. From the orthophotos, we also quantified the shoreline dynamism (coastal erosion and accretion) occurred in the area over a 10-year period. We then analysed how plant species richness, as well as the proportion of typical and ruderal plant species, related to the landscape variables and shoreline dynamism. Also, using piecewise structural equation modelling, we investigated the complex interplay between landscape variables and shoreline dynamism in shaping coastal plant diversity patterns. When focusing on plant species richness, we found no evidence of a negative effect of anthropogenic activities (urbanisation and tourism) on the diversity of coastal vegetation. However, analysing typical and ruderal plant species revealed that the latter are favoured under human-related disturbance, while typical species of the foredune decrease in areas subject to high anthropogenic pressure. This indicates that (i) looking only at plant species richness can lead to underestimating the impact of anthropogenic activities on coastal dune vegetation; and (ii) that human-related activities change the composition of dune vegetation, eventually promoting the establishment of ruderal species, which cannot support the functioning of coastal ecosystems and the provisioning of the related ecosystem services. Finally, results of the structural equation models highlighted that coastal erosion is an indirect driver of plant diversity loss, through its influence on the coastal landscape configuration.
AUT DEDERE AS ERGA OMNES TO SUPPRESS CIVIL AVIATION CRIMES UNDER THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION LAW: THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Ismail Adua Mustapha , Nik Saleh Nik Salida Suhaila
Published: April 2024

Aut dedere (extradition) is an erga omnes obligation towards the international community aimed at closing the gate of safe haven so that the international criminal will face the consequence of his heinous act directed at the international community from the requesting state. The term aut dedere has not been used in conventions or treaties until the eighteenth century. This paper examines the necessity of integrating the doctrine of 'aut dedere' (extradition) into International Aviation Conventions to combat civil aviation offenses and seeks to explore its treatment under Islamic law, and the potential for punishment for refusal to extradite offenders. Through doctrinal legal research, the paper reveals that while aut dedere is obligatory under conventional law, it lacks enforceability without associated punishments. Conversely, extradition under Islamic law is deemed mandatory due to its universal nature. The paper underscores the relevance of Islamic jurisprudence in modern international legal frameworks and recommends amendments to International Civil Aviation Organization conventions to enforce extradition provisions and recognize civil aviation crimes as international offences, consistent with Islamic legal principles.

Людський капітал та його роль у забезпеченні економічного зростання
Authors: Хандій О.О. , Кобцева Д.А.
Published: April 2024

Сучасне покоління перебуває в умовах постійно зростаючих глобальних змін, особливістю яких є те, що розвиток людини значно відстає від техніко-економічної сфери. Подолання цього відставання і побудова сучасної системи формування та розвитку людини задля нарощування людського капіталу потребує удосконалення всього процесу. В статті досліджується роль людського капіталу в забезпеченні економічного зростання. Підвищена увага в роботі приділяється значущості освіти у підвищенні добробуту населення і ефективності виробництва в країні.

Останні роки спостерігається значне прискорення цифровізації робочих місць, а також зростання рівня конкуренції на глобальних ринках, що створює потреби в постійних інноваціях та накопиченні людського капіталу. Компанії  надають велике значення не лише фінансовій міцності, а й «знанням», і саме інтелектуальному капіталу. Вимоги до нових поколінь, які матимуть вищий рівень технологічної майстерності, також супроводжуються викликами. Щоб виділитися серед конкурентів на ринку інтелектуального капіталу та зробити свою корпоративну присутність у секторі видимою, компанії повинні обирати працівників, які створюють додаткову вартість для бізнесу, схильні до командної роботи, ефективні, орієнтовані на рішення та мають сильні комунікативні навички. Якості співробітників компанії, такі як продуктивність, таланти, креативність і потенціал відіграють важливу роль для досягнення успіху компанії.

Для підвищення якості людського капіталу, необхідно постійно інвестувати в працівників, вдосконалювати та покращувати їх освіту, досвід та здібності, це сприятиме збільшенню цінності людського капіталу та ринкової вартості як особистості, так і організації. Недостатня увага до розвитку людського капіталу призводить до високих державних та суспільних витрат, що підриває добробут людей, обмежує можливості для подальшого зростання та ефективності управління, стає серйозним викликом для країни.

Україні необхідно перейти на нові засади стратегічного розвитку, що ґрунтуються на високій якості життя її населення та накопиченні людського капіталу. Необхідна комплексна та цілеспрямована політика підвищення якості людського капіталу України.

Objective. Purpose of the article is to highlight and find ways to solve the problem of assessing the impact of marketing pricing on consumer behavior in conditions of uncertainty.

Methods. he theoretical and methodological basis of the research is inductive and deductive research methods for the systematization of marketing pricing concepts; scientific works of domestic scientists regarding the impact of marketing pricing on consumer behavior in conditions of uncertainty. The research used methods that provide the method of scientific knowledge, the method of system-structural analysis.

The results. The article examines the impact of marketing pricing on consumer behavior in conditions of uncertainty. It has been proven that the consumer is the main reference point of marketing pricing. Changes in consumer behavior require extensive research in Ukraine in conditions of uncertainty.

Certain changes in consumer behavior, formed in conditions of uncertainty for the period 2022-2023, were studied, namely: active purchase of promotional goods, during discounts; reduction of purchase volumes of certain groups of goods; purchase of the company's own brand products; search for cheap substitute goods; purchase of products of Ukrainian trademarks of companies; purchase of goods in online stores.

It was determined that it is relevant to take into account the needs and preferences of consumers according to psychological types, which will allow enterprises to implement an effective marketing price strategy and become more successful than their competitors on the market.

It is proposed to use psychological methods in the formation of marketing pricing for products in conditions of uncertainty: seasonal, holiday discounts; "rule 100"; unrounded prices; decreasing the number on the left; "price environment". The use of discounts will improve the quality of development of the marketing price policy of enterprises, save business and meet the demands of the Ukrainian consumer in conditions of uncertainty.
The CombiConsultation

A new pharmacotherapeutic intervention is the CombiConsultation: a consultation with the community pharmacist for patients with diabetes, COPD and/or cardiovascular disease, aligned with the annual or quarterly consultation with the practice nurse or general practitioner. During the consultation, the pharmacist focuses on the patient's personal health-related goals. The pharmacist preferably works in close proximity to the general practitioner/practice nurse. This allows recommendations for treatment adjustments to be easily discussed and implemented.
The CombiConsultation has been evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively (over 800 consultations were conducted by more than 20 pharmacists), taking into account perspectives of both patients and healthcare providers. The results demonstrate that the CombiConsultation contributes to safe and effective medication use by addressing drug related problems and achieving treatment goals. Both healthcare providers and patients express positive perspectives on the CombiConsultation. A concise consultation by the pharmacist focused on the patient's personal treatment goals is a valuable addition to pharmaceutical care. For implementation, close collaboration with other healthcare providers, preferably in close proximity, is essential. It is important for patients to have insight into the role of pharmacists and their position in relation to the general practitioner and the practice nurse. Additionally, structural reimbursement is needed. Lastly, pharmacists require sufficient skills in clinical decision-making and conducting effective consultations.

Published: April 2024

Objective: To determine the correlation between colposcopic and final histopathologic results amongst patients undergoing a colposcopic evaluation in cervical dysplasia clinics in Western Kenya.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted among 164 females undergoing colposcopic evaluation across several cervical dysplasia clinics in Western Kenya. Colposcopy and histopathology were performed. Colposcopy findings were graded using modified Reid’s Colposcopic Index (RCI). Bayes’ theorem model was used to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. An overall ĸ value was calculated as an estimate of the strength of correlation between colposcopy and histopathology.

Results: Mean age of the study participants was 40.6 years. Modified RCI classified 20.7%, 40.2%, and 39.1% between a score of 0–2, 3–5, and 6–8, respectively. Colposcopy classified 0.6%, 38.4%, and 60.1% as normal, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 (low risk), and CIN 2–3 (medium–high risk), respectively. Histopathology classified 16.5%, 26.2%, 53.3%, and 3.0% as having normal, CIN 1, CIN 2–3, or carcinoma in situ, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 85.3%, 69.7%, 80.3%, and 69.7%, respectively. The estimated strength of correlation between colposcopy and biopsy was relatively strong (ĸ=0.55).

Conclusion: There is an association between the discriminatory powers of colposcopy and histology, but colposcopy had a lower specificity when compared to histopathology.
Krónikus thromboemboliás pulmonalis hypertonia
Authors: Bálint Olga Hajnalka , Andréka Péter
Published: April 2024

A krónikus thromboemboliás pulmonalis hypertonia (chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, CTEPH) egy, a pulmonalis artériás thrombosishoz társuló vascularis betegség, amely az áramlási viszonyok megváltozásához és a pulmonalis erek másodlagos remodellingjéhez vezet. A CTEPH ritka hosszú távú szövődménye a pulmonalis emboliának, melynek kumulatív incidenciája 0,1–9,1 között van tünetes betegekben. Korai tünetek az effort dyspnoe, később a jobbszívfél-elégtelenség jelei dominálnak, ritkábban a syncope. CTEPH-ra kell gondolni, ha a krónikus pulmonalis artériás thrombosis lehetősége felmerül és pulmonalis hypertonia jeleit látjuk echokardiográfiával. A thrombosis igazolására V/Q scant, CT-angiográfiát, illetve pulmonalis angiográfiát alkalmazunk, a pulmonalis hypertoniára pedig jobbszívfél-katéterezést. A CTEPH-kezelés modern szemlélete a multimodalitású terápia. Első választandó terápia a pulmonalis thromboendarterectomia, ha a beteg nem alkalmas műtétre, vagy residualis pulmonalis hypertoniája van, akkor ballonos pulmonalis angioplasztika, illetve gyógyszeres kezelés jön szóba. A krónikus thromboemboliás pulmonalis hypertoniában szenvedő beteg kezelése CTEPH programmal rendelkező centrumban javasolt.
A vérzéses rizikó csökkentése pitvarfibrillációban
Authors: Komócsi András
Published: April 2024

Háttér – A pitvarfibrilláció (AF) a leggyakoribb tartós szívritmuszavar, amely thromboemboliás eseményekhez vezethet, beleértve az agyi érkatasztrófát és a perifériás embolisatiót is. Az AF kezelése, a ritmuszavar direkt kezelési módjai mellett, az antikoaguláns terápián és a thromboemboliás események megelőzésén alapszik. Célkitűzés – Az összefoglalás célja a vérzésveszély befolyásolható tényezőinek vizsgálata az AF kezelésében, különös tekintettel a megfelelő antikoaguláns választására, a betegjellemzőkhöz igazított alkalmazásra, a társbetegségek kezelésére és a vérzésrizikó csökkentésére irányuló stratégiákra. Módszerek – Az elemzés a különböző antikoagulánsok (VKA, DOAC) hatékonyságát és biztonságosságát hasonlítja össze, továbbá kiterjed a betegjellemzők, mint a vesefunkció és a társbetegségek, figyelembevételére az antikoaguláns kezelés során. Eredmények – Az eredmények szerint a vérzésveszély csökkenthető az antikoaguláns megfelelő választásával, és azok betegspecifikus alkalmazásával. Különösen a társbetegségek figyelembevétele kulcsfontosságú a biztonságos és hatékony kezelés szempontjából. A VKA szerek stabil INR-értékek fenntartását igénylik, míg a DOAC-ok kevesebb súlyos vérzéses eseményhez vezetnek. Tervezett és sürgősségi beavatkozások esetében a vérzésrizikót csökkentő stratégiák alkalmazása szintén fontos. A betegjellemzők, mint a vesefunkció és a társbetegségek figyelembevétele, valamint a megfelelő antikoaguláns választása és annak alkalmazása, elengedhetetlen a hatékony és biztonságos antikoaguláns terápia alkalmazásához.

This work presents the results of primary pharmacological screening of anticholinergic drugs and comparative evaluation of their specific activity in equitoxic concentrations using Daphnia magna Straus hydrobionts as a biological test object. We determine the protective index and the minimum effective concentration in terms of preventing atypical motor hyperactivity of pharmacological substances when poisoning with a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. On the basis of the results obtained, the list of promising candidates for further research in warm-blooded animals is extended by all of the anticholinergic drugs previously selected in experiments on mammals.
