Authors: Llerena Mayorga Luis Patricio , Leticia Ortiz Johanna , Ortiz Rosa , Campiño Llerena Camilo
Published: February 2020

Introducción: Las malformaciones Arteriovenosas a nivel de las arterias carótidas ya sea externa o interno y de acuerdo a su flujo no mantienen una alta incidencia, por tanto, no existen datos o bases de datos que nos ayuden con estadísticas y ayudas específicas en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las mismas. Una fístula carótida-cavernosa se traduce en una comunicación anormal entre arterias y venas dentro del seno cavernoso y puede clasificarse como directa o dural e indirecta o de bajo flujo. Las fistulas carotideas directas con frecuencia son de origen traumático y también pueden ser causados por la ruptura de un aneurisma, Síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos tipo IV, o intervención iatrogénica, hipertensión, displasia fibromuscular, Ehlers-Danlos tipo IV y disección de la Arteria Carótida Interna.

Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de Malformación y Fistula Arteriavenosas de Carotidea Externa.

Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico.

Resultados: Se describe un caso clínico de paciente femenina de 28 años de edad habitante de zona amazónica que presenta hace larga data malformación a nivel de hemicara la cual ha ido aumentando de tamaño a través de los años; a pesar de la realización temprana de métodos diagnósticos la patología no pudo ser confirmada y por ende el tratamiento adecuado no ha podido ser aplicable aumentando significativamente las complicaciones y apareciendo lesiones de órganos concomitantes que han empeorado el cuadro.

Conclusiones: En la región cérvico facial las malformaciones arteriovenosas son raras y siguen siendo un tema controvertido. La principal etiología a este nivel son los traumatismos, seguido de infecciones, pubertad, embarazo, pero también es frecuente que sean espontáneas de origen congénito. El tratamiento es controvertido, y no está claramente establecido, es una decisión tomada entre paciente, cirujano y radiólogo intervencionista. El único tratamiento definitivo es una escisión completa radical de toda la tumoración, acompañada de sus riesgos. Entre ellos están la alta tasa de sangrado intraoperatorio (a veces incontrolable por la presencia de estructuras vitales como las arterias carótida, vertebral y subclavia, y las venas yugulares). También está la probable recidiva, debido a que depende de gran cantidad de vasos y es necesaria una resección radical de la malformación. Por último, las secuelas estéticas que puede conllevar la recesión, necesitando colgajos microvascularizados o pediculados, ya que los colgajos libres producen cambios en la vascularización y fibrosis que contribuyen a un ambiente isquémico con la consiguiente recidiva

Authors: Dhakal Ashish , Shrestha Bikash Lal , Karmacharya Sameer , Pradhan Aakash
Published: February 2020

Introduction: The Hum Test is used by some otolaryngologists as an alternative to the Weber Test to detect the presence and type of acute hearing change; however, its use has not yet been formally validated.
Objective: To compare the diagnostic performance of Hum test with Weber test to detect hearing loss taking pure tone audiometry as the gold standard.
Methodology: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck surgery, Dhulikhel Hospital- Kathmandu University Hospital, from June 2018 to February 2019. Total of 257 patients were enrolled in the study and were subjected to 3 tests: Weber test, Hum test, and pure tone audiometry.
Results: When examining patients with hearing loss, sensitivity of Hum test and weber test were 60.3% and 93.8 % respectively. In patients with CHL, sensitivity of Hum test was 55.7% while Weber test was 94.8%. In SNHL, it was 74.6% for Hum test and 90.5% for Weber test. Likewise, according to laterality of disease, sensitivity of Hum test was 58.6% for unilateral hearing loss and 65.2% for bilateral hearing loss. For Weber test it was 96.3% for unilateral and 86.4% for bilateral disease.
Conclusion: Hum test is not as sensitive as Weber test in diagnosis of hearing loss both for conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

Authors: Manandhar Sriti , Kandel Dillu Ram , Panthi Niranjan
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common form of congenital anomaly in the head and neck region with prevalence of 7%.  Embryologically the thyroglossal duct tract gets atrophied by fifth to tenth week of gestation. If it does not atrophied it results in TGDC and operation is the treatment of choice. However, in spite of standard surgical treatment there is recurrence of cyst. Eight percent of thyroglossal duct cyst may reoccur after adequate surgical excision.

Objectives: To identify the recurrence of thyroglossal duct cyst after standard sistrunk’s operation.

Methodology:  A retrospective chart review performed in  all the patients who were diagnosed with thyroglossal duct cyst and were managed by Sistrunk operation in B.P Koirala Institute of Health sciences, department of ORL and Head and Neck surgery from 2013 January1to 2015 December 31.The study was conducted on 37 patients’ age ranging from 4years to 68years. All the patients who had undergone Sistrunk’s operation and histopathologically diagnosed with thyroglossal duct cyst were analysed through hospital records. All records were reviewed for age, sex, location of cyst in neck and with relation to hyoid bone, postoperative complication and recurrence.

Results: There was male predominance 67.56% and female only 32.43%.The most of the patients were between 1-15 yrs age group (48.64%).  Thirty two patients presented with   infrahyoid thyroglossal cyst and five patients with suprahyoid thyroglossal cyst. The post operative complications were in the form of wound dehiscence, haematoma, seroma, infection and there were two cases with recurrence out of thirty seven patients after Sistrunk operation in the form of persistence discharging sinus.

Conclusion: A Sistrunk’s operation is effective in treating primary thyroglossal duct cyst with   a comparably low recurrence rate. The intraoperative rupture of cyst is the most important risk factors predicting postoperative recurrence of thyroglossal duct cyst. Meticulous dissection of the thyroglossal duct cyst is very essential  for the better surgical outcome.

Authors: Khadgi Bimika , Acharaya Ranjeeta Shijagurumayum , Karki Arpita
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is common worldwide and is leading cause of disability. Abdominal endurance promotes body posture, position, balance, urinary continence, pelvicalignment and low back health. In Nepal, women have high level physical activities and need good endurance to perform those activities. During pregnancy and postpartum,woman’s body undergoes remarkable changes up to 1 year resulting in pelvic pain, back pain and incontinence and other associated problems.Transverse abdominusis not as active as before pregnancy resulting in inadequate muscular stabilization in spine. Hence, study intends to measure abdominal endurance and compare among nulliparous, primiparous and multiparous women with association to low back pain.

Objectives: To compare the abdominal endurance among nulliparous, primiparous and multiparous women and to assess the association of abdominal endurance with LBP.

Methods: Non- parous and parous women of 20-30 years with 100 sample size are included tomeasure abdominal endurance by Pressure Biofeedback Unit and Nordic questionnaire was administered to identify low back pain.

Results: Mean abdominal endurance found among nulliparous was 3.5mm of Hg, primiparous was 3.4mm of Hg and  multiparous was 3.2mm of Hg. Chi-square test showed 45.5%nulliparous,48.5% primiparous and 52.9% multiparous women have below average abdominal endurance and 33.3%, 57.6% and 70.6% nulliparous, primiparous and multiparous women have low back pain(LBP) respectively. The association between LBP and abdominal endurance is 0.155.

Conclusion: Abdominal endurance decreases with increasing parity and LBP increases with parity. Further research with large sample size is needed to explore the association between the LBP and abdominal endurance.

Authors: Thapa Ajay Singh , Yadav Rajesh Kumar
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common congenital malformations. Different syndromes have been described in association with cleft lip and palate, some of which have considerable anesthetic implications, and many involve potential airway problems.

Objective: This study aimed to find the incidence of airway complications during cleft surgeries.

Methods: The descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal over a period of one year from March 2017 toFebruary2018. All the 146 patients received general anesthesia. The parameters studied were incidence of difficult mask ventilation, difficult intubation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, aspiration of blood and secretion. Univariate analysis of demographic and occurrence of complications was done.

Results: A total of 146 patients underwent cleft surgery over the study duration out of which 42(28.76%) were female and 104(71.23%) were male. Isolated cleft lip was seen in 104 (71.23%)  patients among whom 42 (28.76%) had right sided, 50 (34.24%) had left sided and 12 (8.21%) had bilateral cleft lip. Isolated cleft palate was seen in 12 (8.21%) patients. Combined cleft lip and palate was seen in 30 (20.54%) patients. Prevalence of difficult mask ventilation, difficult laryngoscopy, difficult intubation, incidence of bleeding during intubation, bronchospasm and post extubationlaryngospasmwere4 (2.73%), 11 (7.53%), 6 (4.10%), 2 (1.36%), 2(1.36%) and 4(2.73%).

Conclusion: In cleft repair surgeries, difficult laryngoscopic view is the most common problem followed by difficult intubation and difficult mask ventilation. Complications like laryngospasm, bronchospasm and laryngoscopy related bleeding are not uncommon. Vigilant perioperative preparation and continuous monitoring is essential to prevent complications during cleft repair surgery in paediatric patients.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Eye lid and adnexal tumours are one of the major problems we see in the oculoplastic department. Malignant eye lid tumours are rare in comparison to benign and diversity in its clinical presentation makes it difficult to diagnose earlier.  Eyelid malignancies can mimic a host of benign neoplasms and other less aggressive neoplastic or non-neoplastic inflammatory conditions and need differentiation before definitive therapy is planned. Out of 90% of all skin cancer occurring in head and neck region 10% occurs in the eyelid. A histopathological study confirms the diagnosis that can be correlated with patient history and other clinical data.

Objectives: To study the clinicopathological correlation and its outcome in patients with malignant eyelid and adnexal tumours presenting at Biratnagar eye hospital.

Methodology:   Details of the cases of histopathologically proven malignant eyelid and adnexal tumours presenting to the department of oculoplasty from July 2016 to August 2019 were recorded.  The duration of disease, presenting symptoms, risk factors, demographic data, clinicopathological correlation with its accuracy and mode of treatment were analyzed using SPSS 17.

Results: Out of total 28 patients, male were 53.6% and female were 46.4%.  The mean age of presentation was 60.5±11.8 years. 53.6% tumors were located in upper lid, 39.9% were located in lower lid and 7.1 % were located in medial canthus.  Basal cell carcinoma and sebaceous gland carcinoma were the most common type of malignancies (35.7% each) followed by 28.6% of squamous cell carcinoma of eyelid. The clinicopathological correlation revealed 75% of clinical accuracy. Different types of reconstructions were done according to the size and site of the defect. Modified Hughes procedure for lower eyelid defect was the most common procedure performed (32.1%), followed by  14.3%  Cutler beard,  28.6%  Cutler beard with post auricular cartilage graft,  10.7%  Glabellar flap rotation 7.1% had combined procedure and  4.3%   direct closure .

Conclusion:  Sebaceous cell carcinoma and Basal cell carcinoma were the most common malignant tumors followed by squamous cell carcinoma. The upper lid was the most common site for such malignancy. Histopathological examination was useful for the establishment of complete and accurate diagnosis, which led to further management and follow up protocol for malignant eyelid tumours.

Authors: Singh Sandip Kumar , Rijal Shikha , Giri Arun
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Perinatal Asphyxia is common cause of multiorgan dysfunction in neonates. It leads to significant mortality and morbidity. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), if measured can differentiate asphyxiated neonates from non-asphyxiated neonates.

Objectives: To find whether serum LDH can distinguish an asphyxiated from a non-asphyxiated term neonate. To co-relate serum LDH level in perinatal asphyxia with various stages of HIE and to see whether it can predict mortality.

Methodology: This is a prospective study done from June 2018 to May 2019 in NICU of Nobel Medical College, on child with Perinatal Asphyxia. All neonates included in the study underwent thorough clinical and neurological examination. Severity of HIE was done by Sarnat & Sarnat staging criteria. Serum LDH level were measured in all the cases. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 11.

Results: 90 neonates with perinatal asphyxia were enrolled and 30 normal neonates were enrolled as controls. The number of neonates with LDH level > 600U/L was significantly more in cases with perinatal asphyxia group as compared to controls (non-asphyxiated) with ‘p’ < 0.001. Serum LDH level was progressively high in relation to stages of HIE and difference between mean LDH level between neonates expired and survived was statistically significant with ‘p’ <0.001.

Conclusion: Serum LDH level is a reliable indicator of perinatal asphyxia and helps to differentiate different stages of HIE.
An Alternative to Traditional Assessment: The Debate Showcase
Authors: Shrestha Mona , Roffey Christopher
Published: February 2020

Recent debates indicate that there is a lack of focus on ontological transformation within university study due to an over-reliance on a tick-box approach to skill acquisition (Wilson et.al 2013, p. 1223). This paper discusses a recent initiative undertaken at a tertiary pathways institution focused on the utilisation of an alternative productive process to assess student learning. This alternative assessment approach was designed to better engage a specific student cohort that differs significantly from ‘conventional student bodies’ both socio-economically and educationally. It has been noted that many students within the cohort do not have the ‘assumed cultural capital’ (Delvin 2011) that facilitates success in a traditional tertiary environment. This paper focuses on how a debate assessment was modified using the concept of spiral curriculum (Bruner cited in Takaya 2008) to better align with the specific needs of the cohort and course outcomes. The concept was used as a scaffolding approach linked to real-life experience to help students make better sense of the key unit content. This paper argues that the showcase was generally successful, by shifting focus from a previously adversarial model to a reflective and ultimately transformative learning experience.
Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Crop yield and Evaluation of Coping Strategy using Crop Growth Simulation Model
Authors: Alam J. , Panda R. K.
Published: February 2020

Any change in climate will have implications for climate-sensitive systems such as agriculture, forestry and some other natural resources. Changes in solar radiation, temperature and precipitation will produce changes in crop yields and hence economics of agriculture. It is possible to understand the phenomenon of climate change on crop production and to develop adaptation strategies for sustainability in food production, using a suitable crop simulation model. CERES-Maize model of DSSAT v4.0 was used to simulate the maize yield of the region under climate change scenarios using the historical weather data at Kharagpur (1977-2007), Damdam (1974-2003) and Purulia (1986-2000), West Bengal, India. The model was calibrated using the crop experimental data, climate data and soil data for two years (1996-1997) and was validated by using the data of the year 1998 at Kharagpur. The change in values of weather parameters due to climate change and its effects on the maize crop growth and yield was studied. It was observed that increase in mean temperature and leaf area index have negative impacts on maize yield. When the maximum leaf area index increased, the grain yield was found to be decreased. Increase in CO2 concentration with each degree incremental temperature decreased the grain yield but increase in CO2 concentration with fixed temperature increased the maize yield. Adjustments were made in the date of sowing to investigate suitable option for adaptation under the future climate change scenarios. Highest yield was obtained when the sowing date was advanced by a week at Kharagpur and Damdam whereas for Purulia, the experimental date of sowing was found to be beneficial.

Non-point source, agriculture based pollutants have been identified as one of the main cause for water pollution in Sri Lanka. Naranhinna, Pambadeniya Kappeti-Ela, and Rajamale micro watersheds located in the Kandy district have been identified by the project on Rehabilitation of degraded agricultural lands in the Central Highlands implemented by Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) to rehabilitate through watershed management plan. This study assessed the baseline water quality status of these micro watersheds by obtaining water samples at the outlet of each watersheds during the Maha cropping seasons 2018/2019. Three replicates water samples from each outlets were collected six times and analysed for EC , pH, TDS, CO32-, HCO3-, NO3-, NH4+, available P, total K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, As, Cd, Cr, Mn, and Pb using standard methods. Most of the tested drinking water quality parameters in all four micro watersheds were within the permissible limits of World Health Organisation (WHO) standard except Fe and NH4+. Observed Fe contents exceeded the WHO limits (0.3 mg/L) of all watersheds and was in the range of 1.2-1.5 mg/L. Concentration of NH4+ at Kappeti Ela, Rajamale, and Pambadeniya was in the range of 0.5 to 0.7 mg/L which exceeded the WHO standard (0.5 mg/L). Using the tested parameters, study calculated drinking water quality index (DWQI) and also irrigation water quality index (IWQI) for all investigated micro watersheds for each of the sampling date. According to the guideline, mean DWQI (19 to 48.1) graded the water of all micro watersheds as excellent while IWQI (8.7-9.2) characterised them as excellent for any crops during the study period.

Authors: Srinivas S.G. , Krishnamurthy Y.L.
Published: February 2020

India is a subcontinent in the world with varied climatic regions, topographic variation results in the very diverse ecological diversity. Litsea is a largest genus in the family Lauraceae differentiated by its dioecious nature, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions which is influenced by some environmental factors. Present research work focussed on distribution of genus in the central Western Ghats of Karnataka, India. Litsea species were collected from 2013 to 2018 in different sampling sites.  A total of 12 species were identified and reported from this region. The diversity indices of Litsea vary from species to species as well as region to region. L. floribunda is frequently distributed in all the study sites and it showed highest density when compared with other species, whereas, L. deccanensis distributed only in Sakaleshpur region and it showed lower diversity. The highest number of Litsea species occurred in Sakaleshpur region (10 species) and Mullayyanagiri region having only one species that is L. floribunda. The results indicate that Litsea distribution and diversity is rich in moderate rainfall regions of Western Ghats. The macro and micro nutrients of the soil in the study area reflects the distribution of the genus. There is a gradual increasing in tendency of the species richness with increasing elevation when compared with lower elevated regions. The genus also showed more sensitive and positive association with the elevation factor.

Problems of Tolerating Interfaith Relations in Ukraine
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii M.
Published: February 2020

Ukraine has been a religiously pluralistic country since its appearance on the world map. Already in its first power formation, the Kyivan Rus state coexisted in believing in their gods pagans of different tribes, an attempt to unite in one pantheon sought to execute (though unsuccessfully) Prince Vladimir in 982. In our own way, our people perceived their spiritual world and Christianity after being baptized by Prince Vladimir in 988. He combined this religion with paganism in his beliefs and thus became a two-man. Otherwise it could not be. Paganism is a religious picture of nature and human activity in it. Christianity is a religious picture of man in his relationship with other people and God. That is why, having come to our territories, Christianity, because of the lack of some specific nature of its nature, could not replace or supplant paganism. It baptized him. That is why we now have practically not pure Christianity in the beliefs of the people, but Christianized paganism and at the same time linguistic Christianity. This syncretism is one of the foundations of the religious pluralism that characterizes the spiritual world of our people.

Indigenous beliefs of Australia have attracted the attention of numerous generations of researchers of the XIX - XX centuries. The reasons for this interest were not limited by the exotic beliefs of the traditional beliefs of the distant region of the planet. Anthropologists, ethnographers, sociologists, historians and religious scholars, considering the preservation of one of the most archaic systems of economy and social organization among the tribes of Australia, respectively, considered the aboriginal beliefs as a spiritual result, reflecting the most archaic system of social relations, referring to them as a kind , "The standard of primordial religion." So, the Soviet researcher S. Tokarev notes that the beliefs of Australians are the most archaic religious phenomenon that has remained to this day and a classic, typical example of totemism.

Al-Farabi and his "Book of Religion". Arabic Translation, Preface and Commentary
Authors: Yakubovych M.M.
Published: February 2020

It is well known that the medieval philosophical thought of the Islamic world ("Muslim", "Islamic", "Arab-Muslim" philosophy) was characterized by a significant level of understanding of the phenomenon of religion. This was due not only to the religious coloration of the tradition itself or the purely religious outlook, but also to the importance of the role that religion played and continues to play in Muslim societies. One of the manifestations of this phenomenon is the long-term development of historical, doxographically-apologetic and philosophical views on the phenomenon of religion, its content, functions and role. Religion acted as the starting point of a whole system of social, cultural, economic and political ties, and therefore one of the pressing problems of medieval Islamic religious thought (as we refer to the tradition of understanding the phenomenon of religion) was the problem of categories and definitions related to variable ideas. about religion in general.

The growth of the religious network, the pluralisation of religious life, the desecularization of the Ukrainian society, and the increase in the number of citizens who identify with one of the religions or consider themselves believers, are pressing questions about the development of interfaith relations. "Religious Revival" in Ukraine in the early 1990s. was accompanied by conflicts between believers and religious organizations on religious property, spheres of influence, development of infrastructure, quantitative increase of the flock, and affirmation in society. It is safe to say that in Ukraine there were dialectically opposite to ecumenical processes - disintegration in the Orthodox environment and conflicts between Catholics and Orthodox. American religious scholar Joseph Loy called the current situation in Western Ukraine "ecumenical Chornobyl" because it was a "catastrophe" in Catholic-Orthodox relations in the 1990s. polluted the "atmosphere of inter-church relations around the ecumenical world."
The attribution of religion as an objective consequence of its functional limitations
Authors: Gorkusha Oksana
Published: February 2020

Modern Ukrainian society has a number of unresolved problems that can impede its further cultural and spiritual progress. You can find out about this from scientific or religious literature as well as from the media. In particular, these problems are connected with the present state of spirituality of our people, with the lack of a solid foundation in our worldview for building a worthy future and awareness of the proper moral and ethical norms of social co-existence. “In Ukraine, as O. Sagan rightly points out, there is a need for a kind of moral growth of the society ... The general moral condition of post-Soviet Ukrainian society remains complicated, and nowadays, negative tendencies are exacerbated. As long as the latter progress, the people may be subject to manipulation by both political and religious figures. ”
Tolerantization of interfaith relations in Ukraine
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii M.
Published: February 2020

Freedom of expression gives us the right to say what we think, but it does not oblige us to do so. This is evidenced by the so-called "cartoon conflict" associated with the name of Mohammed. He confirmed the differences of civilizations: we have a misunderstanding in the West of the psychology of the religiosity of the East. At the same time, if one did not have enough understanding of deep religious feelings, spurred by their inattention, the other showed a clear exaggeration of what was done and even perceived false information of what happened, for the truth. The East deepened the conflict of civilizations by giving it the right to use, as an argument against Western civilization, the belief that democracy, which it carries, and the freedom of speech it stands for, could open the way to ridicule and abuse of their faith.

Oddly enough, in Ukraine for some reason it is not customary to speak of a civil religion. Some people, in view of the actualization of this phenomenon, are trying to accuse the Branch of Religious Studies of IFU of anti-confessional (sometimes even called specific religions or denominations) intentions. Some see this as a desire to find some kind of spiritual basis for possible totalitarian regimes in our country. Meanwhile, building a civil society in Ukraine should be relevant not only to the study of civil religion, but also to the work on introducing this phenomenon into the process of building such a society with which it is directly correlated.
Chabad in the context of the religious revival of Ukrainian Jewry
Authors: Androsova V.
Published: February 2020

In Ukraine, historically, there have been various religions, both national religions of peoples and world. In the Ukrainian territory, such a striking phenomenon of the Jewish religious tradition as Hasidism is emerging. This stage of Hasidism is conventionally called the second to separate it from German Hasidism of the Middle Ages. Ukrainian-Polish Hasidism gave birth to its numerous directions. Among them there is good Hasidism, as well as Uman, Chernobyl, Karlin-Stolin directions. Chabad, in its modern form with the adoration of the lover's rebbe, originated in the teachings of Schneur Zalman, who brought Hasidism as close as possible to the traditional tenets of Judaism and insisted on an intellectual service to God, restraining excessive religious emotionality. The Ukrainian roots of Hasidism in general and Chabad in particular, as well as the Ukrainian origin of the Seventh Lubavitch Rebbe, contribute to the return of this movement to the territory of Ukraine after the atheistic period of the Soviet Union.

Islam in the Ukrainian territory has more than a thousand years of history. However, after the extermination of the Islamic world on Ukrainian lands by means of Stalin's vandalism, in particular the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people who professed Islam to Central Asia, the destruction of mosques and madrasas, the repression of the clergy of Islam, we have mentioned this religion mostly or in recent times. related to Muslims abroad.
Confessions of Ukraine in the context of international religious realities

Let's compare the map of religions of the world and the map of the religious network of Ukraine. The first thing that catches the eye is the presence on our map (maybe only in a different percentage) of almost all those denominations that are on the first. We have virtually no Ukraine of our own, our own religions. Unless we can boast of our Great White Brotherhood. Therefore, all religious movements (since the baptism of Ukraine-Russia) have been brought to us from abroad, and therefore are not in the full understanding of the word a manifestation of our ethnic mentality. They are either adapted to it, or they exist as something accidental, alien to our lives. Let us remember at least the Krishnaites who, in their tufts and sari, take to our snow-covered streets, sing the Ganges and offer us, as holy, His water to the Ukrainians. At the same time we have our national clothes, our native Dnipro-Slavuta. Think of the same Christianity that, in adapting to our reality, replaced the palm branches that threw at the feet of Jesus as he traveled to Jerusalem on the willow. Yes, and many other things it took for granted from the previous Ukrainian paganism, sort of assimilating it.

Published: February 2020

From the earliest times, the very existence of Soviet power to combat religion and tirades, along with methods of economic and ideological pressure, actively using legal factors, is a rather strict system.

Following the massive unveiling of solidarity and white army officials who were unable to leave the peninsula in November 1920, they began to form in the Crimea various branches of government, including their judicial system, which was published in a new regime of elements of legitimacy. However, the legal system created on the peninsula was annexed to a radical political system, so when there were various problems, they were members of principles of political expediency, not morality and rights.
Metropolitan Petro Mohyla and his influence on contemporary religious and national processes in Ukraine
Authors: Yamchuk P.M.
Published: February 2020

The phenomenon of Petro Mohyla in the modern humanitarian university is most often viewed precisely from the point of view of understanding his figure not only as a building Church, its defender, in a sense as a Christian conservative, but also as a guardian and building national statehood, creator of religious-national transformation and state-renewal Khmelnytsky era and - later - Mazepa. As the History of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine rightly points out, "after 1632, when the Commonwealth entered into the reign of Wladyslaw IV and was headed by Petro Mohyla of Kiev, the Orthodox Church also entered a new era of its existence. The government's new course in resolving the religious issue, increasing political activity of the Orthodox community gave the Kyiv Metropolitanate the opportunity to restore legal status, to regulate relations with the state and society… This authority (Churches - P.Ya.)… was conditioned by the ability of the church institution to be full-blooded… the inner life of the church became perhaps the overriding task of Petro Mohyla ... Petro Mohyla justified the principles of its own jurisdiction ... emphasized the legitimacy of its power. "
