Authors:   Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of KNUTE, Shuprudko Nataliia
Published: May 2022

Today poses new challenges in the field of information security for businesses, including E CO N O MI CS AND MA NA G E M E NT OF E NT E RPR IS ES Issue III (83), 2021 81 small and medium. Intangible assets are becoming increasingly important, and new information threats are emerging. Building an information security management system allows businesses be prepared for threats and develop successfully. The purpose of the study is to study and substantiate the success factors of the information security management system of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ukraine. Constructing the logic and structure of the article, we used the method of structural- logical analysis. Methods of grouping and systematization, analysis and synthesis are used to generalize approaches to determining the key success factors of the management system. A systematic method of research and observation was used to form a list of problems, needs and threats of the information environment of SMEs. Study has shown that there is an urgent need for small and medium-sized businesses to use an effective information security management system in their activities, which should be an integral part of overall management. The need for information security management is dictated by two types of threats: the threat of actually dangerous information and the threat of using (influencing) dangerous information technologies. The general and specific needs and problems in information security management at domestic enterprises are substantiated, including protection of business functionality, safe operation of programs and applications, data protection, protection of technological assets of the business. Rapid overcoming of these problems by building an information security management system is possible only if one understands and takes into account the key success factors of such a system. Success factors should reveal the classic functions of management: the success of planning, the success of the organization, the success of motivation, the success of control. Another key success factor can be taking into account the factors significantly influencing the information security culture formation and adoption by the SMEs. Building an information security system in the enterprise based on key success factors allows the entity to achieve a dynamic balance with the external environment and be prepared for possible potentially negative events. A further direction of the research should be the search for and substantiating specific components of these success factors, their detailing and study of the mechanisms of implementation in the SME management practice.

Published: May 2022

Background: Anti-cancer agents encapsulated in nanoparticles (NPs) can result in higher efficiency. Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage, and previous reports support its anti-cancer properties. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) loaded Kombucha NPs (PLGA-K-NPs) against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line. Methods: The antioxidant activity was analyzed using ferric reducing ability of plasma and 2,2’-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assays, along with the measurement of catalase (CAT) gene expression. The gene expression of three interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10) was also determined to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory properties of NPs. Results: The results revealed the antioxidant effects of PLGA-K-NPs on the studied cell lines by increasing Fe3+ reduction, inhibiting the free radical formation (P<0.001), and increasing the expression of the CAT gene (P<0.001). In addition, NPs could significantly elevate the gene expression of IL-10 (P<0.01) as an anti-inflammatory cytokine at a 40 µg/mL concentration, while reducing the expression of IL-1β and IL-6, and inflammatory cytokines at all tested concentrations (P<0.01). Conclusion: According to the obtained results, PLGA-K-NPs have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, therefore, they can be considered as a compound in the treatment of ovarian cancer. However, it needs to be further investigated in animal studies to clarify more details.

Published: May 2022

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern in recent years mainly due to its adverse clinical outcomes. It is most commonly attributed to diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN). Among the several novel biomarkers discovered to detect impaired renal function, serum cystatin C (SCysC) has gained importance. Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare SCysC and serum creatinine (SCr) in CKD subjects and apparently healthy controls. Methods: This case-control study comprising of 120 diagnosed cases of CKD and 40 controls was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. SCr and SCysC levels were estimated using modified Jaffe’s method and particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric method, respectively. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using CKD EPI formula. Comparison of SCr and SCysC between cases and controls was done using Mann Whitney U test. Pearson’s correlation test was used to study the correlation between variables. Statistical significance was considered at P<0.05. Results: Both SCr and SCysC levels were higher in cases compared to controls (P<0.001). In the group comprising of Stage 1 and Stage 2 CKD subjects, all the subjects showed normal SCr levels, while 96.8% of the subjects showed elevated SCysC levels. SCysC (r=-0.800) showed better correlation than SCr (r=-0.724) with eGFR (P<0.001). A strong correlation was found between SCysC and SCr levels (r=-0.887, P<0.001). Conclusion: SCysC is a good indicator of renal dysfunction and may be used to screen patients with long duration of DM or HTN for CKD.

Published: May 2022

Se estudió la acumulación y distribución de biomasa y su relación con algunos indicadores de eficiencia fisiológica en chile morrón (Capsicum annum L.) cv. ‘Ariane’, cultivado en invernadero e hidroponía en distintas condiciones de manejo. Se manejaron tres densidades de población: 8 y 14 plantas/m2 despuntadas por encima de la tercera y cuarta bifurcación respectivamente (D8 y D14), y un testigo a 3.3 plantas/m2 sin despunte. Se hicieron cuatro muestreos: en transplante, amarre del primer fruto (40 días después del transplante [ddt]), crecimiento de los primeros frutos (70 ddt), y al final de la cosecha (158 ddt). La tasa de fotosíntesis se midió en hojas bien iluminadas con un analizador de gases al infrarrojo, en cuatro ocasiones (a los 40, 54, 68 y 82 ddt). Después de los 40 ddt, el testigo acumuló más biomasa por planta que las otras densidades de población, debido a su mayor área foliar. Sin embargo, por tener mayor densidad, D8 y D14 produjeron mayores índices de área foliar, lo que se correlacionó directamente con mayores cantidades de biomasa y rendimiento de frutos/m2 . La tasa de fotosíntesis se incrementó durante el crecimiento de los primeros frutos en alrededor de 65 % (de 12 a 20 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1).

“A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN INTRAVENOUS FENTANYL AND MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN ATTENUATION OF CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSE TO LARYNGOSCOPY AND ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION”
Authors: Pathak Deba Gopal , Singha E. Roshan
Published: May 2022

Background and Objectives: Laryngoscopy and intubation are associated with stress response leading to
hypertension,tachycardia and cardiac arrhythmias.It may be of no consequences in patients with normal cardiovascular
status but undesirable in patients with comorbid conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease,
cerebrovascular disease and thyrotoxicosis etc.Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods have been
studied in attenuating this response.The present study is undertaken to compare the efficacy of Fentanyl and Magnesium
sulphate in attenuating cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.
Methods: A prospective, randomized double blinded study was conducted among 100 ASA I/II adults patients
undergoing electives surgeries under general anesthesia. Group A (n=50): received inj. fentanyl (2g/kg) and Group B
(n=50): received inj. Magnesium Sulfate 30mg/kg. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure were
measured at baseline,before induction,before intubation,just after intubation,3,5,10,15,30 mins after intubation.
Results: Fentanyl showed more effective in attenuating the cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and intubation
compared to Magnesium Sulfate
Conclusion: IV Fentanyl 2μg/kg is a better drug than Magnesium Sulfate 30mg/kg in controlling cardiovascular
response to laryngoscopy and intubation.

To achieve larger production per unit area, sciences and farmers face a great defiance in improving cropping practices
and elicitation new top yielding wheat varieties and also to establish the effects of these factors on the spike characters.
Two years experiment were conducted to evaluate the effect of three nitrogen fertilizer levels (recommend rate 80 kg
N/fed and 25% lower and higher than the recommended, i.e. 60 and 100 kg N/ fed, three seeding rates (40, 60 and 80 kg
grains/fed) and there varieties (Giza-171, Gemmiza-12 and Shandawil-1), on spike characters of wheat at the
Agricultural and experimental Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt during 2018/2019
and 2019/2020 seasons.The experimental design was a split- split plot in randomized complete block arrangement with
three replications. Nitrogen levels were allocated to the main plots, while the sub plots were assigned for seeding rates.

Wheat varieties were distributed at random in the sub-sub plots.Each sub-sub plots area 4 m (2 x 2m).Generally,results
indicated that significant effect on spike length and number of grains/ spike in both seasons and on weight of grains/
spike and 1000-grain weight in one season,where the tallest and heaviest spike as well as the heaviest 1000-grain weight
were produced at the 100 kg N/fed in both seasons but the highest number of grains/spike was obtained at 80 kg N/fed
in one season. It could be concluded that application nitrogen at the rate of 100 kg/fed proceed the favorable effect on
spike characters under the environmental conditions of the experimental site and the similar conditions. Seeding rates
caused a significant effect on all studied traits in one season,so the highest values were at 80 kg grains/fed,but this effect
on 1000-grain weight was true in both seasons,where the highest value was at 60 kg grains/fed.Moreover,varieties were
significantly differed in all spike character in both seasons except number and weight of grains/spike in one season
where Giza-12 variety surpassed others.Al studied interactions had significant effect on all studied traits either in one or
two season.Planting Giza-171 with 80 kg grains/fed and application of 100 kg N/fed was the pest treatmnt.

Optimal Network Reconfiguration for Real Power Losses Reduction in the IEEE 33-Bus Radial Distribution System
Authors: Mtonga Thomson , Kaberere Keren K. , Irungu George Kimani
Published: May 2022

This article reports on the development and evaluation of a proposed optimal network reconfiguration approach for total real power losses reduction in radial distribution systems. The proposed approach was developed in MATLAB and the IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system was used in evaluating its performance. Application of the developed approach on the IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system helped to reduce the total real power losses of the system by 76.31%, from 202.68 kW to 48.02 kW, whereas the best approaches reported in literature reduced the losses by 31.15%, from 202.68 kW to 139.55 kW. These results suggest that the approaches reported in literature fail to find the global optimum combination of tie and sectionalizing branches whose corresponding switches have to be closed and opened, respectively, in order to minimize the total real power losses in the system. Consequently, due to its significant reduction of the system's total real power losses, the developed approach proves to be a potentially reliable tool for power system operators to adopt and use when solving the radial tribution systems' optimal network reconfiguration problem for real power losses reduction.

Analysis of the Impact of the Increasing Inverter-based Resources on Inter-area Modes of the U.S. Eastern Interconnection
Authors: Agrawal Urmila , Huang Renke , Fan Xiaoyuan , Huang Zhenyu
Published: May 2022

The retirement of conventional synchronous generators and the integration of inverter-based renewable energy sources (RES) are transforming power systems in unprecedented ways. Understanding the impact and consequences of this resource mix transition is crucial to maintaining reliable grid operation. In this regard, this paper examines the impact of increased renewable energy sources on the oscillatory behavior of the U.S. Eastern Interconnection. From our analysis, we found that no single trend could be used to correlate the impact of increased RES penetration levels on the damping ratio of system modes. In fact, the impact of the increased RES penetration levels on a system mode was influenced by the group of synchronous machine models that were replaced with RES machine models. For example, replacing the synchronous generators in Florida significantly increased the damping ratio of the 0.21 Hz mode, whereas the impact was relatively small on the mode when synchronous machines were replaced in the North-eastern areas of the EI.
