Digital Technologies for Mental Health Improvements in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Li Jinhui
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Digital technologies have been used to support mental health services for two decades, but the COVID-19 pandemic creates a unique opportunity for greater utilization and more data-driven assessment of these digital technologies.

OBJECTIVE

This research aims to provide a systematic review of the characteristics and effectiveness of digital inventions that were employed to improve mental health in the real context of COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

A combination of search terms was applied for automatic search of publications in the relevant databases. The key features of included studies were extracted, including the intervention, participant, and study details.

RESULTS

A total of 14 eligible studies were included in the final review, which were conducted across different geographic regions and among diverse cultural groups. Ten studies mainly examined the impact of digital technologies on healthy individuals, while only one study developed specific interventions for the isolated COVID-19 depressed patients in hospitals. Digital technologies identified in this study mainly include web-based interventions, smartphone or social media applications such as SMS messages, mobile games, and even video conferencing app. But only five of them were aligned with theoretical approaches from standardized psychological treatments. Most of the studies have reported positive effects of digital technologies, either on improving general mental and emotional well-being or addressing specific conditions (e.g., depression, loneliness).

CONCLUSIONS

This systematic review suggests that digital technologies hold promise in bridging the mental health-care gap during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and calls for more rigorous studies to identify pertinent features that are likely to achieve more effective mental health outcomes.
COVID-19 Vaccines for Children and Adolescents in Africa: Aligning our Priorities to Situational Realities (Preprint)
Authors: Govender Kaymarlin
Published: November 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa is unparalleled. Most countries within Africa are facing major challenges vaccinating their populations. Lack of sufficient doses of COVID-19 vaccines, weaknesses in health infrastructure, and vaccine hesitancy are contributing to low vaccination rates among the adult population on the continent. In contrast, most high-income countries and some middle-income countries have already vaccinated more than half of their adult population and have started vaccinating children and adolescents (CA). Without sufficient COVID-19 vaccine coverage on the African continent, the prolonged social, economic, and health impacts of this public health crisis are likely to exacerbate pre-existing social-structural issues in this part of the world. In this paper, we highlight trends in SARS-CoV-2 infections among CA, compare COVID-19 vaccination patterns in Africa to high income countries, and discuss some of the benefits, challenges, and unknowns associated with vaccinating CA for COVID-19. In light of ongoing COVID-19 vaccine supply challenges and the slow progress that the African continent is making towards vaccinating the adult population, we suggest that the immediate priority for Africa is to accelerate COVID-19 vaccinations among the adult population and vulnerable CA (i.e., those who are immunocompromised and/or living with comorbidities). Accelerating the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and rapidly achieving high levels of vaccination coverage in the adult population will free up capacity to vaccinate CA sooner rather than later.

The goals of the Mongol invaders according to European sources of the middle of the XIII century. Part 2
Authors: Drobyshev Yuliy Ivanovich
Published: November 2021

The middle of the XIII century - the apogee of power of the unified Mongol Empire. In 1241-1242, the first, bloodiest and most destructive Mongol invasion into Europe took place. Certainly, it was vital for the Europeans to find an answer to the question: what did the invaders want, what goals did they pursue? In this article, the author shows that, due to the abundance of contradictory information and the acute lack of an objective understanding of the new enemy at first, European political and ecclesiastical figures attributed many goals to the Mongols (at least eighteen!), of which only three were fully confirmed - an attack on Russia, Poland, and Hungary, and the rest were either not realized for some reason, or arose in minds of the Europeans themselves. All these goals, identified in various official and unofficial European sources, mainly dating from the middle of the XIII century, are discussed here taking into account information from synchronous Eastern sources. Despite well-known ideas of a world-building monarchy, perhaps actually hatched by the Mongol khans, events in Europe suggest that their main goal there was to punish the Hungarian king Bela IV, who refused to hand over the Polovtsians hiding in Hungary to the Mongols.
Quantum mereology in finite quantum mechanics
Authors: Kornyak Vladimir V.
Published: November 2021

Any Hilbert space with composite dimension can be factored into a tensor product of smaller Hilbert spaces. This allows us to decompose a quantum system into subsystems. We propose a model based on finite quantum mechanics for a constructive study of such decompositions.
Parameterizing qudit states
Authors: Khvedelidze Arsen , Mladenov Dimitar , Torosyan Astghik
Published: November 2021

Quantum systems with a finite number of states at all times have been a primary element of many physical models in nuclear and elementary particle physics, as well as in condensed matter physics. Today, however, due to a practical demand in the area of developing quantum technologies, a whole set of novel tasks for improving our understanding of the structure of finite-dimensional quantum systems has appeared. In the present article we will concentrate on one aspect of such studies related to the problem of explicit parameterization of state space of an NN-level quantum system. More precisely, we will discuss the problem of a practical description of the unitary SU(N){SU(N)}-invariant counterpart of the NN-level state space BN{\mathcal{B}_N}, i.e., the unitary orbit space BN/SU(N){B_N/SU(N)}. It will be demonstrated that the combination of well-known methods of the polynomial invariant theory and convex geometry provides useful parameterization for the elements of BN/SU(N){B_N/SU(N)}. To illustrate the general situation, a detailed description ofBN/SU(N){B_N/SU(N)} for low-level systems: qubit (N=2{N= 2}), qutrit (N=3{N=3}), quatrit (N=4{N= 4}) - will be given.
On involutive division on monoids
Authors: Kroytor Oleg K. , Malykh Mikhail D.
Published: November 2021

We consider an arbitrary monoid MM, on which an involutive division is introduced, and the set of all its finite subsets SetMM. Division is considered as a mapping d:SetMM{d:SetM \times M}, whose image d(U,m){d(U,m)} is the set of divisors of mm in UU. The properties of division and involutive division are defined axiomatically. Involutive division was introduced in accordance with the definition of involutive monomial division, introduced by V.P. Gerdt and Yu.A. Blinkov. New notation is proposed that provides brief but explicit allowance for the dependence of division on the SetMM element. The theory of involutive completion (closures) of sets is presented for arbitrary monoids, necessary and sufficient conditions for completeness (closedness) - for monoids generated by a finite set XX. The analogy between this theory and the theory of completely continuous operators is emphasized. In the last section, we discuss the possibility of solving the problem of replenishing a given set by successively expanding the original domain and its connection with the axioms used in the definition of division. All results are illustrated with examples of Thomas monomial division.
La compasión como elemento clave de la práctica profesional en las instituciones de salud
Authors: Blanco María , Guevara Berta , Mejías De Duatye Marianela
Published: November 2021

La práctica de los profesionales de la salud se sustenta en una relación interpersonal, requiere de sensibilidad y empatía, no es una simple actividad mecánica o un actuar sobre el paciente o familia, es una actividad donde se involucran las partes en la búsqueda de alivio del sufrimiento y el bienestar de quien sufre. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar acerca de la actuación del personal de salud y la compasión como elemento clave de la práctica profesional en las instituciones sanitarias. Aunque la compasión es aparentemente intuitiva, persiste una brecha entre lo que los pacientes consideran un pilar de la atención de calidad y la capacidad de los proveedores de la atención médica para brindar este componente esencial. Se concluye que la compasión es una palabra que se encuentra inmersa en el personal de la salud, sin embargo, es un concepto complejo y polisémico, que requiere ser estudiado a la luz de lo que significa y conceptualizan los pacientes, familiares y profesionales de la salud. El modelaje de actitudes compasivas durante la formación, podrían contribuir a cambios positivos en la atención del paciente; en consecuencia al cuidado humanizado.

Authors: Muhammad Muhammad , Nurlaila Nurlaila
Published: November 2021

The interfaith dialogue movement in the top-down current as described above, namely the movement originating from the state, was welcomed by various communities in Indonesia as a bottom-up current, namely the interfaith dialogue movement originating from the people. At least in this bottom-up flow, there are two communities, namely dialogue developed in academic institutions, and dialogue conducted or facilitated by civil society institutions, such as NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations), both focusing on dialogue and raising issues. -Other issues related to dialogue. In this research, the researcher focuses only on two groups, namely the state (top-down current) and academic institutions (bottom-up current) trying to examine religious movements in the realm of inter-religious dialogue using social movement theory. There are three key concepts in social movement theory which usually play a very important role in determining the success of collective action. The three concepts include (1) political opportunity structure, (2) mobilizing structures, and (3) framing of action.
KONSEP KETUHANAN DALAM KAJIAN FILSAFAT
Authors: Sinta Dewi Ning Ratna
Published: November 2021

Metaphysical theology is the study of God. God as the object of metaphysical study has a specificity compared to the other two objects of metaphysics. If the outward manifestation of the universe and the soul can be perceived by the senses, then the same is not true for the reality of divinity. God is something that cannot be grasped by the senses. Metaphysics that studies about God is called the philosophy of divinity (naturalist theology). If the philosophy of divinity makes God the final point or conclusion of the entire study, then revelation theology views God as the starting point for its discussion. The philosophy of divinity deals with proving the truth of the existence of God based on human reasoning. Divinity philosophy (naturalist theology) does not question the existence of God, the discipline only wants to underline that if there is no uncaused first cause, the relative-contingent position of objects cannot be understood by reason. From the above, there are several kinds of philosophical evidence that try to open the way to God; namely the proof of ontology, cosmology, teleology, morals, and this is at the same time an advantage of the philosophical approach compared to the approach of religion and other sciences. Science is limited to making descriptions based on empirical experience while religion departs from belief in one doctrine.

Published: November 2021

One of the effective special tools used to achieve the least risk and sustainable income of investment in enterprises is the investment portfolio. At the same time, one of the simplest and most effective strategies to minimize investor risk is its diversification.

The article presents the results of the performed strategic financial analysis of the effectiveness of diversification of the formed sectoral investment portfolio using the example of large enterprises of the metallurgical industry. The choice of industry was determined by the fact that metallurgy is one of the fastest growing industries in the world economy.

The article analyzes the strategic development trends of the metallurgical industry and considers the three largest companies in this industry (“MMK”, “Severstal”, “NLMK”). Their activity was analyzed in dynamics based on financial reporting data presented on company websites.

Comparative analysis was carried out on such indicators of financial analysis as current liquidity ratios, equity and financial leverage concentration ratios, as well as interest-to-payment ratios, turnover of reserves and funds in turnover, profitability of the companies under consideration.

In the resulting formation of the investment portfolio, correlation coefficients between the returns of the shares of these companies were calculated. It was established that the financial situation, as well as the low correlation coefficient between the assets of the reviewed companies, allow us to form from their shares an industry investment portfolio that minimizes the risks of a potential investor.

Aim: Identification of high breeding value donor lines harbouring tolerance to moisture stress from diversity stock of 443 genotypes of Brassica juncea. Methodology: Germplasm stock of 443 Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) genotypes, comprising introgression lines, land races, old cultivars and advance breeding lines, were evaluated under two environments viz., irrigated and rainfed conditions to check the variability for yield and related traits. Statistical software META-Rver 6.0 (Multi Environment Trial Analysis using R) was used for computation of Best Linear Unbiased Predictions, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Genetic Correlations and Heritability. Drought susceptibility index and per cent seed yield reduction under rainfed conditions were used as indicators to determine moisture stress tolerance in genotypes. Results: The variability for moisture stress tolerance has been unravelled in a diverse genetic stock of Brassica juncea under two environments: irrigated and rainfed. For high prediction accuracy, the ranking of genotypes was done based on Best Linear Unbiased Predictions for seed yield and its component traits. PBR-378, RGN-329, RB-73, RB-50 and PBR-422 and Giriraj were identified as moisture stress tolerant genotypes. One land race Sahib 36 and three introgression lines viz., MCP 12-211, PTJ-3-69 and MSC-3 have also been identified as potential genetic resources for moisture stress tolerance. Principal component analysis based on biplots depicted specific distribution of variables for each environment. Interpretation: This study led to the identification of potential donors for moisture stress tolerance with high predictive accuracy. Low drought susceptibility index and high breeding value in a land race and three introgression lines derived from Erucastrum cardaminoides, B. tournefortii and B. carinata emphasized their utilization as potential genetic resources to breed for moisture stress tolerance in B. juncea.
Impianti di depurazione delle acque reflue: progettazione di sistemi di disinfezione
Authors: Striano Aurelio
Published: November 2021

La disponibilità e qualità delle risorse costituiscono condizione
essenziale per il sostentamento di tutte le forme di vita animale e
vegetale, secondo un complesso sistema di equilibri tra produzione,
utilizzazione e accumulo.

L’uomo ha fondato il proprio sviluppo socio – economico sulla
disponibilità e qualità delle risorse naturali, accrescendo in modo
eccezionale la capacità di utilizzarle e modificarle in tempi molto
brevi, specie se confrontati con i tempi di crescita delle risorse
naturali. Da ciò consegue il rischio di provocare una significativa
riduzione della disponibilità.

Tale problematica, riguarda soprattutto la principale risorsa che l’uomo
ha avuto per prima a disposizione, sin dalla sua nascita, ossia l’acqua.

È necessario, pertanto, individuare sistemi che possano permettere il
riutilizzo di tale risorsa in una forma che non possa nuocere alla
salute dell’uomo.

È per tale motivo che assume particolare importanza il tema della
disinfezione delle acque, attraverso metodologie convenzionali, ma ancor
di più, attraverso metodologie avanzate e innovative, le quali, oltre ad
essere estremamente efficaci per la disinfezione delle acque, sono anche
molto efficienti sotto l’aspetto dell’inquinamento, che negli ultimi
tempi sta acquistando sempre più importanza.

The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici encodes hundreds of RXLR
effectors to enter plant cells and suppress host defense responses. Only
few of them are conserved across different strains and species. Such
‘core effectors’ may target hub immunity pathways that are essential
during Phytophthora pathogens interacting with their hosts. However, the
underlying mechanisms of core RXLRs-mediated host immunity manipulation
are largely unknown. Here, we report the functional characterization of
a P. capsici RXLR effector, RXLR242. RXLR242 expression is highly
induced during the infection process. Its ectopic expression in
Nicotiana benthamiana promotes Phytophthora infection. RXLR242
physically interacts with a group of RAB proteins, which belong to the
small GTPase family and function in specifying transport pathways in the
intracellular membrane trafficking system. RXLR242 impedes the secretion
of PATHOGENESIS-RELATED 1 (PR1) protein to the apoplast by interfering
the formation of RABE1-7-labeled vesicles. Further analysis indicated
that such phenomenon is resulted from competitive binding of RXLR242 to
RABE1-7. RXLR242 also interferes trafficking of the membrane-located
receptor FLAGELLIN-SENSING 2 (FLS2) through competitively interacting
with RABA4-3. Taken together, our work demonstrates that RXLR242
manipulates plant immunity by targeting RAB proteins and disturbing
vesicle-mediated protein transporting pathway in plant hosts.
Post Infarction left ventricle remodeling surgical treatment, different ways to get same result

The surgical ventricular restoration is an evolution of treatment of
left ventricle aneurysm. The aetioloy of left ventricle aneurysm and the
dilated post AMI cardiomiopaty is the same; the difference is in the
extension of scarred tissue and in the quality of remote zone. Because
in this anatomical situation the geometry of left left ventricle can be
deeply affected, it can very difficult to have point of reference as
position of apex or papillary mussles. Using a sizer and combine
different surgical thecniques allow to rebuilt a ventricle with

Extent of Hypertension and Renal Injury in Children Surviving Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Authors: Kumar Reeti , Mahan John , Stanek Joseph , Reed Suzanne
Published: November 2021

Background: Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) fortunately has
high survival rates, and understanding longer-term implications of
therapy is critical. In this study, we aimed to investigate kidney
health outcomes by assessing the prevalence of renal dysfunction and
hypertension (HTN) in children with ALL at one to five years after ALL
diagnosis. Methods: This was a single center, cross-sectional study of
children with ALL who were 1-5 years post diagnosis. GFR measurements
were calculated, and urine samples were collected to assess for
protein/creatinine and albumin/creatinine. Blood pressure (BP) was
determined by standard oscillometric technique, and children
>6 years of age were eligible for ambulatory blood pressure
monitoring (ABPM). Results: Forty-five patients enrolled in the study,
21 completed ABPMs. Fifteen patients (33%, 95% CI: 20-49%) developed
AKI at least once. Thirteen (29%, 95% CI: 16-44%) had
hyperfiltration, and 11 (24%) had abnormal proteinuria and/or
albuminuria. Prevalence of HTN based on clinic measurements was 42%. In
the 21 ABPM patients, 14 had abnormal results (67%, 95% CI: 43-85%)
with the majority (11/21) demonstrating abnormal nocturnal dipping
pattern. . Conclusions: Among children with ALL, there is a high
prevalence of past AKI. The presence of hyperfiltration, proteinuria
and/or albuminuria at 1-5 years after ALL diagnosis suggest real risk of
developing CKD over time. There is a high prevalence of HTN on casual BP
readings and even higher prevalence of abnormal ABPM in this group. The
high prevalence of impaired nocturnal dipping by ABPM indicates an
increased risk for future cardiovascular or cerebral ischemic events.
Surgical treatment of type A acute aortic dissection with cerebral malperfusion: a systematic review
Authors: Wang Changtian , ZHANG LEI , li tao , Xi Zhilong , Wu Haiwei , Li Demin
Published: November 2021

Purpose: Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) complicated
with cerebral malperfusion (CM) is a life-threatening condition
associated with high mortality, poor outcomes, and the optimal surgical
management remains controversial. The aim of this review was to report
the current results of surgical interventions of these patients.
Methods: A systematic review was performed using PubMed and
MEDLINE search for cases underwent surgical repair for TAAAD with CM.
Demographics, neurological symptom, the time from onset of symptoms to
operation, operation data, mortality, neurological outcome, and
follow-up were reviewed. Results: A total of 363 patients with
mean age of 65.7±13 years underwent surgical repair for TAAAD with CM
were identified in 12 retrospective studies. In-hospital mortality was
20.1%. Mean duration of follow-up was 40.1 ± 37.6 months. The involved
supra-aortic branch vessels were RCCA (n=99), LCCA (n=25) , B-CCA
(n=52), CCA (n=131), IA (n=19), and LSA (n=8). Time from onset of
neurological symptoms to surgery was 13.3 hours. Antegrade and/or
retrograde cerebral perfusion was applied. Postoperatively, improved,
unchanged and worsened neurological status was occurred in 54.3%,
27.1%, and 8.5%, respectively in 199 patients. Conclusion:
The outcomes of surgical treatment of TAAAD complicated with CM indicate
acceptable early mortality and morbidity. It is reasonable to perform
lifesaving surgery on these patients. Early central surgical repair and
reperfusion of brain may improve the outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

To describe incidence of foot ulceration and amputation-free survival associated with foot ulceration status in a national population-based cohort study of people with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The study population included 233,459 people with diabetes who were alive in Scotland on 1 January 2012 identified from the national population-based register (national prevalence 4.9%). Characteristics of patients identified from linked hospital and mortality records during follow-up to the end of November 2017 were compared by outcome. Cox regression was used to assess the association between history of foot ulcer and amputation-free survival.

RESULTS

The population included 23,395 people with type 1 diabetes and 210,064 people with type 2 diabetes. In total there were 13,093 (5.6%) people who had a previous foot ulceration, 9,023 people who developed a first ulcer, 48,995 who died, and 2,866 who underwent minor or major amputation during follow-up. Overall incidence of first-time foot ulcers was 7.8 per 1,000 person-years (95% CI7.6–7.9) and 11.2 (11.0–11.4) for any ulcer. Risk factors for reduced amputation-free survival included social deprivation, mental illness, and being underweight in addition to conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) were 2.09 (1.89–2.31) for type 1 diabetes and 1.65 (1.60–1.70) for type 2 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS

The overall incidence of foot ulceration in a population-based study of people with diabetes was 11.2 per 1,000 person-years. Foot ulceration is associated with lower amputation-free survival rate, a potential measure of effectiveness of care among people with diabetes. Mental illness and social deprivation are also highlighted as risk factors.

FLORISTIC METAPHORS IN LATIN AND ENGLISH PHARMACEUTICAL TERMINOLOGY
Authors: Lozenko Victoria
Published: November 2021

The article highlights metaphorization of floristic vocabulary in Latin and English pharmaceutical terminology. Nominations of plants are considered to be motivated semantically: the inner form of metaphors proves explicit or implicit one. There are used the cognitive method (works by Y. Stepanov (Stepanov, 2001), V. Telia (Telia, 1988), A. Wierzhbicka (Wierzhbicka, 1969) and method of metaphor (works by N. Arutyunova (Arutyunova, 1990), G. Lakoff and M. Johnson (Lakoff et al., 1980), V. Telia (Telia, 1988) for the research. The article focuses on primary floristic nominations and secondary ones based on associative peculiarities. The comparative method enables to examine the specificity of floristic metaphors in Latin and English. The research has found motivation of metaphoric nomination in English and Latin medical terminology. In addition, there have been found similar and peculiar features in nominations of plants, flowers, bushes, trees in English and Latin of medicine. The process of methaphorization is inherent for majority of Latin and English pharmaceutical phytonyms. It leads to the conclusion that metaphorization proves considerable process for comprehension of specificity of different national linguistic view of the world.
THE SPECTRUM OF ESTHETIC CATEGORIES IN WORKS OF STANISLAV ORIHOVSKY (1513–1566)
Authors: Mnozhynska Ruslana
Published: November 2021

For a long time, Ukrainian and Western European scientists have included all the Latin works to the Catholic values and brought exclusively to Polish literature, and therefore denied the penetration of humanism and Renaissance within the boundaries of the Orthodox Eastern Slavonic world, forgetting that Ukrainian scientists, to which Stanislav Orikhovsky belongs, not indirectly through Polish teachings acquired leading pan-european ideas, but themselves were part of the european renaissance intelligency. In the culture of Ukraine ХІІІІ-XVII centuries there are no interpretations on esthetic issues. However, there are grounds to consider certain reflections on the problems of art and art work in connection with questions of faith and its symbols, values of knowledge and role of sensual experience in the cognitive activity, values of indifferent attitude of a person to the world and to faith and earthly destination of a person. Now, brought into the scientific circulation little known, and even quite unknown, mainly Latin sources strongly testify that the epoch of revival, with its esthetic ideals, has not passed Ukraine as a component of Europe. Stanislav Orikhovsky (1513–1566) is one of the most prominent personalities in the Ukrainian and Polish culture of Renaissance: Philosophy, historian, publicist, polemist, esthette, speaker. The article focuses on the fact that one of the first, in the national renaissance cultural opinion, who considered the question of esthetics was Stanislav Orikhovsky. In works on esthetics, he devoted a lot of his place to problems of good and evil, as a humanist put the importance of man in dependence on her personal qualities, personal integrity, talent and ability to realize them. Interest in esthetics was revealed clearly, complete it, quite concrete content. In his works he considered and outlined ways of solving various problems, in particular, ethical and esthetic.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF USING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES
Authors: Buhai Olha
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the theoretical foundations of using information and communication technologies (hereinafter – ICT) in public administration decision-making processes using the framework of categories and concepts proposed by New Public Management, Joined-up government, Public Value Рaradigm, Actor Network Theory and Socio-Technical Systems. The research task is to comprehensively consider the methods, approaches and foundations of using ICT in public administration through these theories. General scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction) as well as the comparative-historical method have been used. Such an approach allows to generalize and comprehend the role and impact of ICT in public administration within the framework of different theories and to offer an empirical application of the developed concepts. Correlation of the considered concepts' theoretical principles with the criteria for public services delivery, the role of citizens, approaches to measuring the performance of public servants makes it possible to conclude the information about the attitudes and requirements for innovations in public administration from the perspective of each of the theories. It can contribute to further study of the ICT's impact on the public administration decision-making processes, predicting the transformational impact of e-governance and theoretical advances empirical application by both public servants and those who hold political positions.

The aim of our scientific work was to study the effect of exogenous melatonin on the indicators of fibrinolytic processes in the heart tissues and to analyze the changes in fibrinolytic activity occurring in the heart tissues of enucleated hyper- and hypothyroid white rats. The experiments were carried out on white nonlinear male rats weighing 0.12-0.14 kg. 4 experimental groups of animals were formed. The control group consisted of 11 normothyroid rats, which were injected with a melatonin solution in appropriate volumes. The animals were euthanized under light ether anesthesia. Samples of the examined heart tissue were ground in a glass homogenizer with borate buffer (pH 9.0). The homogenate was used in biochemical analysis. Determination of the total, enzymatic and non-enzymatic fibrinolytic activity (TFA, EFA, NFA, respectively) in the heart tissues was carried out by the method of azofibrin lysis (LLC "Simko", Ukraine). Statistical processing of the results was carried out by the method of variation statistics using the Student's test. Experimental studies on nonlinear male white rats have shown that the introduction of exogenous melatonin, as well as modeling the conditions of endogenous melatonin overproduction by blinding (enucleation) cause an increase in the intensity of enzymatic and non-enzymatic fibrinolysis in heart tissue in normotyroid animals. At other hand, enucleation causes an increase in the intensity of fibrinolysis in the tissues of the heart in hypothyroid rats, but not in hyperthyroid.

The article presents an analysis of the incidence of mental disorders in Ukraine and European countries, describes the WHO action plans for the mental health of the planet, and ways to overcome the incidence of mental and behavioral disorders. The complication of deinstitutionalization (reduction of psychiatric hospitals and reduction of days in them) in European countries and the creation of new institutions, conditions of stay in a nearby “therapeutic/healing environment”, which return about 90% of patients to independent living in the community. In Ukraine, the process of deinstitutionalization reduced psychiatric facilities by 34.7% but, no new premises have been building, and the old premises of psychiatric hospitals, which have been building from 1786 to 2013, were not reconstructed according to the old sanitary and hygienic requirements – the socalled “corridor system”, which did not take into account the comfort for mentally ill patients, but only stay/treatment for a long time up to 53 days (up to 33 days in the Ministry of Health) for 20 days in European countries. With an increased incidence of mental disorders in Ukraine (2015) by 9.4% compared to European countries – 3.8% of the total population, the staff decreased to 21.4% for the period 2010/2017. In Ukraine, which leads to the use of existing hospitals with their overcapacity and higher workload of health workers, and conditions for both the mentally ill and medical staff have not improved.

Understanding the Importance of Therapeutic Relationships in the Development of Self-Management Behaviours After Cancer Rehabilitation: A Qualitative Mixed-Methods Study
Authors:   , Wilkinson Wendy M.
Published: November 2021

This Professional Practice Doctorate research explored the importance and impact of therapeutic relationships in the development of sustainable self-management behaviours during cancer rehabilitation. This research aimed to evidence the need to preserve person-centred cancer rehabilitation. It aimed to protect local services from organisational pressures to rationalise rehabilitation through standardised, protocol driven practice. Therapeutic relationships are an important aspect of multi-disciplinary healthcare practice. However, they receive inversely proportionate attention in the research literature. Where research exists, it has often focused on elements of the relationship, rather the entire relationship. This is likely reflective of the complexity of therapeutic relationships. This research was undertaken in three phases alongside clinical practice. An integrative literature review was completed in parallel to semi-structured interviews, and a Modified Delphi Technique. The results confirmed the underlying assumption that the local cancer rehabilitation service was effective in supporting the development of self-management behaviours. Participants perceived professionals’ characteristics and behaviours to be a significant barrier or enabler to the development of therapeutic relationships. Therapeutic relationships were found to have significant roles or functions at different stages of cancer rehabilitation. On completion of cancer rehabilitation, the dissolution of therapeutic relationships was not consistently well managed by professionals, resulting in residual dependency or alienation. Poor participant experiences of previous therapeutic relationships may explain poor early engagement in rehabilitation, protracted rehabilitation duration and poor self-management outcomes. These findings provide insight for decision-making around cancer rehabilitation service design and workforce skills development. This research sets the foundation for future studies to measure the impact of therapeutic relationships on self-management outcomes. These insights could also inform the design and evaluation of learning opportunities for professionals, optimising the management of therapeutic relationships. Future research would focus on how to support professionals to meet the long-term needs of people affected by cancer and other LTCs.

Pediatric fractures of the tibial eminence are relatively rare, equivalent to the anterior cruciate ligament rupture in the adult. Severely displaced tibial eminence fractures should be treated surgically. Arthroscopy is preferred as it allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment of associated lesions and reduction and fixation of all types of tibial spine fractures while reducing the morbidity associated with open techniques. We report the clinical and radiological results of two cases with displaced tibial eminence fractures, submitted to surgical treatment and the arthroscopic technique of internal fixation with absorbable suture. After a follow-up of 18 months both patients had great improvement. Radiographic exams confirm complete fracture healing at 6 weeks of follow-up. The International Knee Documentation Committee subjective score were excellent (96 and 98 points) and the range of motion of the injured knees were also similar to the no-injured knees. This arthroscopic technique is simple, reproducible and very useful in dealing with these fractures, allowing to obtain excellent functional results.

The novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread all over the world and the disease, COVID-19, is still wreaking a lot of havoc. Vaccination seems to be the best solution to overcome this pandemic. Several vaccines have been proposed around the world and some of them are already being dispensed, such as AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sputnik V, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna and CoronaVac. Population around the World have expressed many doubts about these vaccines and resistance to vaccination has been observed. This, for lack of reliable information on these vaccines. The purpose of this systematic review is to provide a comparison of these homologated vaccines and reliable information on them. Online databases were investigated to search publications on these vaccines and the bibliography was created using Endnote 7.0. Investigations concerned antigenic targets, vaccine types, number and timing of doses, neutralizing antibodies, cellular immunity and safety concerns. The main target protein in COVID-19 vaccines is the spike protein (S). Whereas AstraZeneca, Sputnik V and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are adenoviral vector vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are mRNA vaccines while CoronaVac is a viral attenuated vaccine. Except for Johnson & Johnson which requires one dose, the other vaccines require two doses. All of them induced cellular and humoral immune responses. This review has allowed us to provide to the scientific community and population reliable information about the vaccines and their safety concern.
