Authors: Pylypenko Natalia , Tuchkina Iryna
Published: May 2022

it is well known that the health of the child depends largely on the health of his mother during pregnancy. There are no clear criteria in the available sources and clinical protocols for predicting the risk of macrosomia, which may further adversely affect pregnancy management in general. Our aim was to analyze the maternal and neonatal outcomes and complications in Ukrainian cohort of patients during pregnancy with fetal macrosomia by conducting a prospective analysis of the history of pregnancies and childbirth of adolescent girls’ mothers with gynecological pathology, born with large to gestational age from the reference indicators. This was a retrospective cohort study. 68 histories of pregnancy and childbirth were analyzed. The incidence of maternal and neonatal complications in pregnant women with macrosomia (birth weight greater than 4000 g) was compared with that in pregnancy with normal body weight (2500–4000 g). Macrosomia is associated with significantly higher maternal age and gestational age. In macrosomia, significantly more births were completed by caesarean section. With a fetal weight above 4500 g, the risk of postpartum hemorrhage increased. Macrosomia has been shown to be associated with severe adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus.

Published: May 2022

This paper investigates a tensile strength and microstructure characterization of Gnetum gnemon as a newly proposed eco-friendly natural fiber for composites reinforcement. Natural fibers have recently become attractive to researchers, engineers and scientists as an alternative reinforcement for composites. It has relatively low cost, renewable (easily available), and biodegradable. The production system requires simple and energy-efficient equipment and can be exploited as a replacement for the conventional fiber, such as Kevlar for personnel protection. The strength of Gnetum gnemon was found to be comparable with existing new composites. The form of fiber was found to be depended on the lignin, hemicellulose, benzene, and other impurities, thus made it larger and not uniform. These results show great potential as a competitor to the predecessor natural fibers used in composite materials of armor materials, if given special chemical treatment to increase their initial mechanical properties.

Staffing of the Ukrainian SSR militia in 1945
Authors: Grechenko V. A.
Published: May 2022

The main aspects of the USSR militia staffing in 1945 are revealed. The main directions of personnel work were as follows: 1) completion of staffing of militia bodies; 2) consolidation of personnel, primarily management; 3) creation of an effective reserve of nomination; 4) organization of training, improving the quality of preventive and educational work among personnel; 5) completion of the collection and search of personal files and bringing them into order, completion of a special inspection of those who joined the militia. During 1945, the PCIA (people's commissariat of internal affairs) of the Ukrainian SSR provided instructions on all these issues in the form of directives, reviews, written comments on the work and provided practical assistance on field trips. Specialists were trained in special courses in militia schools, whose activities were resumed in several cities of the republic. In 1945, 12,153 people came to recruit militia, and 5,906 people left and were released. A significant shortcoming in recruitment was staff turnover. The main reasons for the turnover in the police in 1945 were as follows: a) reduced admission requirements to the militia (recruited people without inspection by the medical commission, sometimes clearly disabled); b) insufficient verification of new recruits; c) weak educational work among the staff. Of the total number of those released in 1945: a) for illness, age and inadequacy – 4652 people; b) according to the materials of the special inspection – 1526 people; c) for moral and domestic decomposition, violation of labor discipline, personal desires and family circumstances – 9626 people. Among the militia, 3 % were those with higher and incomplete higher education, 13 % – secondary, 25 % – below secondary and 57 % – lower education. Ukrainians in the PCIA of the USSR in 1945 accounted for 55 %, Russians – 35 %, Jews – 4 %, Belarusians – 2 %, others – 2,6 %. In general, in 1945 the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs and its subdivisions carried out significant and diverse work to improve the staff of the republic's militia.

Protection of long-term land ownership: some problematic aspects
Authors: Chalyi Yu. I.
Published: May 2022

The ability of Ukrainian current legislation and law enforcement practice to provide effective protection of the interests of titleless bona fide landowners was critically assessed. It is noted that the problems of the long-term owners’ interests protection should be solved in the scope of a more general problem, namely the protection of titleless ownership as such. Emphasis is placed on the need for autonomous formulation in the Civil Code of Ukraine of provisions on the protection of titleless ownership and possession of property based on law. This is due to the fact that these civil law institutions have a very different legal nature. The description of these institutions in the national legislation of Ukraine is highlighted, which will take into account the specifics of the legal regulation of relations on the actual ownership of property and increase the effectiveness of protection of the interests of titleless owners. The position of the highest courts of Ukraine on the extension of the regime of protection of real subjective rights to long-term ownership has been challenged. Attention is paid to the need for scientific substantiation of legislative expansion of the methods of protection of long-term land ownership. The current legislation of Ukraine allows the possibility of protecting the interests of long-term landowners only by filing a lawsuit to restore their de facto control over such property. Ways to protect against non-loss of property are not legally available to long-term landowners. It is emphasized that the possibility of satisfying the claims of the long-term owner to restore possession of the property must be linked to the condition of good faith conduct of such a plaintiff. The good faith conduct of the owner should be considered both at the time of establishment of possession and in relation to the subsequent circumstances of possession of the property. In particular, the owner of the property may know that he or she does not have a title to the property and even know who owns the property, but if the owner does not hide the fact of taking someone else's property and is willing to return the property to its owner, it should be considered bona fide.
