Authors: A.S. Patrushev
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Introduction. Chewing efficiency is an important criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of dental treatment, however, existing chewing tests are rarely used in dental practice, which is explained by the complexity and laboriousness of their results evaluation. On the background of the active growth of mHealth a new convective chewing test with an automated evaluation system was developed. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the convective chewing test, as well as to determine the reference values of the chewing efficiency of patients with complete dentition using the convective chewing test. Materials and methods. 32 patients with complete dentition and orthognathic occlusion were examined. Patients' chewing performance was determined using a convective chewing test with an automated scoring system and the M. Shimmel chewing test. Analysis of the effectiveness of the convective chewing test with an automated analysis system was carried out by evaluating the correlation between the results of the developed method and the previously known chewing test. The data obtained were processed using descriptive statistics methods. Results and discussion. As a result of the study, a reference range of chewing efficiency values was determined, which ranged from 86.1% to 92.1% for the convective chewing test, and from 0.053 c.u. up to 0.079 c.u. for the M. Shimmel chewing test. Spearman's correlation coefficient was -0.56. Conclusion. The effectiveness of the convective chewing test and the automated system for its evaluation have been confirmed. The obtained reference values of chewing efficiency can be used as a control when evaluating the results of dental treatment of patients using a convective chewing test.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. The article presents the results of the analysis of the level and dynamics of prices in the Russian market of gynecological preparations. Gynecological diseases are a serious obstacle in maintaining a high level of women's reproductive health. In accordance with official statistics, the number of gynecological patients is increasing every year in Russia, and there is also a “rejuvenation” of inflammatory and malignant diseases. In such conditions, the question of the quality and availability of drug provision for women with gynecological preparations arises, which, in turn, depends on the level and dynamics of prices in the corresponding market segment. An analysis of the dynamics of price changes in the Russian market of gynecological preparations was carried out using the index method of analysis, based on the construction and calculation of price indices and allowing to identify factors that affect price growth. It has been established that prices on the Russian market of gynecological drugs have been growing for a long period of time at a rate comparable to the growth rates of prices on the entire Russian pharmaceutical market, however, in certain time periods, the discrepancies can be significant and exceed 5% per year. As a result of the study, groups of gynecological drugs with the highest price growth rates were identified, among which drugs not included in the Vital and Essential Drugs List, domestic and generic drugs can be distinguished. Among the subgroups of the ATC classification, both in terms of price growth rates and in terms of the level of the weighted average price per pack, the G03 subgroup “Sex hormones and modulators of the reproductive system” is in the lead. In order to prevent higher rates of price growth in the studied market segment and ensure the availability of drug supply, it is proposed to conduct regular monitoring of price changes and, if an unfavorable development of the price situation is detected, make operational management decisions.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. The variety of medicines in circulation on the pharmaceutical market causes the problem of rational choice of medicines for their inclusion in restrictive lists. To form a list of vital and essential medicines (VED), the regulator uses certain rules approved at the legislative level. It should be noted that the determining factor for rational therapy is the evaluation of medicine in terms of the ratio "efficacy / safety". Based on this, the purpose of this study was to develop the process of graphical modeling process when the medicine is included in the VED list in terms of its qualitative characteristics – efficiency and safety. The source was data from Appendix No. 6 "Integral scales of the comprehensive evaluation of a medicinal product" to the " Rules for the formation of lists of medicines for medical use and the minimum range of medicines necessary for the provision of medical care". The developed modeling process eliminates the need to evaluate all indicators in case of obtaining a negative qualifying result in its initial parts, eliminates the need for mathematical operations, and competently ranks the criteria of the selected medicine to the comparison medicine, thus allowing to choose the most preferable option in the case of evaluating several medicines of a single action and significantly speeds up the procedure for a comprehensive assessment of medicine. The model enables the regulator to have a clearer decision-making procedure for the formation of a defining restrictive list of VED in the Russian healthcare system. Thus, the proposed graphical model makes it possible to simplify and, thereby, expedite the process of including medicines in the list of vital and essential medicines of VED.
FOREIGN DIVESTMENT FROM THE RUSSIAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Amid the aggravation of the geopolitical situation due to the situation around Ukraine, many international pharmaceutical companies announced the suspension of further investments in the Russian economy. There are not only political, but mainly economic reasons for this. In modern conditions, foreign investors do not see the point of deploying their business in Russia: to build factories, open new production lines, etc., because it is not possible to calculate and understand when their investments will be able to pay off. In addition to curtailing investment programs, due to the sanctions policy, clinical trials in Russia are suspended, which threatens that new drugs from foreign manufacturers will not be able to be registered in the country. The situation is not simple with the supply of standard samples from Europe and the USA to the country, used to determine compliance with the quality of medicines. Standard samples are not attributed to medicines, but to chemical industry goods, so they can get on the sanctions list. In addition, a number of European companies that previously supplied high-tech equipment, spare parts and components for the pharmaceutical industry to Russia have abruptly suspended their deliveries. Due to this, the domestic pharmaceutical sector faces a difficult task to independently solve issues related to the development of new medicines, their clinical trials and registration, the creation of a full-fledged production of standard samples for quality control of manufactured products, as well as the organization of the launch of production and the search for alternative suppliers of pharmaceutical equipment from India and China.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Due to the significant strategic importance of the marine transport system, the issue of ensuring various types of security (especially medical, psychological) for personnel working in this branch of the national economy seems relevant. The Marine Doctrine of the Russian Federation and the corresponding Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 512 dated July 31, 2022 is the leading document regulating these issues. The article presents various groups of factors that affect the health of seafarers (genetic, medical support, living conditions and lifestyle, the state of the environment). The negative aspects of these factors that impair the health of the crew are listed: disorders of adaptive processes in the body, up to stressful conditions; the occurrence of diseases of the body systems (cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous, sensory, musculoskeletal system); the purchasing of various kinds of dependent states (alcohol and nicotine); decreased physical activity, eating habits, satisfaction from their work, psychological and emotional stress disorders social isolation, fatigue. The problem of the shortage of specialists in the marine medicine, despite the requirements of word standards, is emphasized. In this regard, the problem is raised about the training of specialized medical personnel (including in the field of psychological support) in medical educational organizations for prevention, sanitary, educational and hygienic work with personnel, monitoring the health of seafarers, timely identification of premorbid conditions, quality treatment and rehabilitation. To solve it, first of all, an integrated approach at the state level is needed. First of all, it is proposed to improve the legislative basis, and then the implementation of documents at all levels of administrative authority.
THE MILESTONE OF EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION: NILOMETER
Authors: KARAKUŞ Nadir
Published: September 2022

The lands of ancient Egypt have come to life with the fertile waters of the Nile River since the earliest times. The Nile, the source of life for Egypt, sometimes faced floods and experienced disasters and sometimes had to grapple with famines and shortages. For this reason, measures have been tried to be taken with irrigation channels, and this negative situation has been tried to be eliminated with mica or nilometers that measure the water level. The high water level was also reflected in the tax rates of the sovereign states in Egypt, and the high level of product even affected the increase in tax rates. The Egyptian society, which fed its stomach from the Nile, was able to go to extremes such as sacrificing even young concubines to the Nile in order to raise the water level, and organized festivals and celebrations for the Nile. Although the scales measuring the water level have preserved their existence in every period, they have been ruined from time to time and could not maintain their existence at the same rate as the majesty of the Nile. Despite these cuts, new measures continued with new construction activities and witnessed the establishment and collapse of states. Scholars as well as rulers played an active role in the establishment of this order. The greatest physicist of the Middle Ages, such as Ibn al-Haysem, a mathematician and astronomers such as Fergani; Many names from mathematicians-astronomers to philosophers also contributed positively to this process.

Published: September 2022

Aim/Purpose: This study examines the impact of decision-making, crisis management, and decision-making on sustainability through the mediation of open innovation in the energy sector.

Background: Public companies study high-performance practices, requiring overcoming basic obstacles such as financial crises that prevent the adoption and development of sustainability programs.

Methodology: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to the closure of businesses in Iraq, a survey was distributed. To facilitate responses, free consultations were offered to help complete the questionnaire quickly. Of the 435 questionnaires answered, 397 were used for further analysis.

Contribution: The impact of crises that impede the energy sector from adopting sustainable environmental regulations is investigated in this study. Its identification of specific constraints to open innovation leads to the effectiveness of adopting environmentally friendly policies and reaching high levels of sustainable performance.

Findings: The impacts of risk-taking, crisis management, and decision-making on sustainability have been explored. Results show that open innovation fully mediates the relationship between the factors of risk-taking, crisis management, decision-making, and sustainability.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The proposed model can be used by practitioners to develop and improve sustainable innovation practices and achieve superior performance.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers are recommended to conduct in-depth studies of the phenomenon based on theoretical and empirical foundations, especially in light of the relationship between crisis management, decision-making, and risk-taking and their impact on sustainability based on linear and non-compensatory relationships.

Impact on Society: This study provides a reference for organizations with similar cultural backgrounds in adopting sustainable practices to minimize pollution in the Iraqi context.

Future Research: A more in-depth study can be performed using a larger sample, which not only includes the energy industry but also other industries.
Are Millennials really Picking Pets over People? Taking a Closer Look at Dog Ownership in Emerging Adulthood
Authors: Graham Taryn M. , Milaney Katrina J. , Adams Cindy L. , Rock Melanie J.
Published: September 2022

This paper draws on the work of Bourdieu to understand how experiences with dog ownership become embodied and how these experiences influence young people’s development as they leave home and learn to mobilize any capital to which they have access. Our results show that dogs can provide everyday routine during a stage in life when young people often experience instability. Additionally, dogs may help to shift the focus beyond self, thereby influencing how, and with whom, millennials spend their time. Nonetheless, balancing dog ownership with education, work, dating, social life, and other obligations could become challenging. Overall, this paper highlights that young people’s access to resources, including housing, may influence their capacities to experience all the benefits that pet ownership purports to offer. Dog ownership has numerous implications for healthy development among millennials, yet greater support may be needed to facilitate smoother transitions.
Non-credit Nonprofit Management Education: Beyond Mapping and Towards Critical Qualitative Inquiry
Authors: Fugiel Gartner Michele
Published: September 2022

Nonprofit management education (NME) has received attention from scholars and practitioners over the past thirty years. Much of the research on NME focuses on credit-based university courses, primarily reflecting a U.S. context. Left out of analyses are non-credit NME offerings. This article relocates to an English-speaking Canadian landscape where a substantial number of non-credit NME courses are found. Mapping methodologies, favoured to showcase the breadth of NME, cannot offer deeper insight into questions and critiques of non-credit NME curriculum and instruction. This article shows how syllabi review and critical qualitative inquiry can deepen knowledge of non-credit offerings. A new research agenda for non-credit NME is required to support nonprofit managers to achieve their social goals.
RÉSUMÉDepuis une trentaine d’années, la formation en gestion des organismes sans but lucratif (OSBL) a retenu l’attention d’universitaires et de praticiens. Cependant, une grande partie de leurs recherches sur la gestion des OSBL se concentre sur des cours universitaires offrant des crédits, et reflète un contexte principalement américain. Les cours sans crédit sur la gestion des OSBL sont omis des analyses. Cet article se focalise sur un paysage canadien anglophone où l’on retrouve un nombre important de cours sans crédit sur la gestion des OSBL. Certaines méthodologies de schématisation, privilégiées pour mettre en valeur la portée de tels cours, sont inefficaces pour offrir un aperçu plus approfondi des questions et critiques concernant le curriculum et l’enseignement de cours sans crédit sur la gestion des OSBL. Cet article montre comment la revue de plans de cours et l’enquête qualitative critique peuvent en revanche servir à approfondir la connaissance de ces cours sans crédit. Ainsi, un nouveau programme de recherche pour les cours sans crédit sur la gestion des OSBL s’avère nécessaire pour aider les gestionnaires d’OSBL à atteindre leurs objectifs sociaux.

Authors:   «Futurum Ukraine» Non-governmental Organization, Ukraine, Bondarenko Iryna
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that the application of the theory of elastic waves in solving dynamic problems allows expanding the possibilities of a modeling and diagnosing natural phenomena necessary for productively solving the issues of ensuring the functional safety of objects in the technosphere of the human habitat. The method based on the use of the provisions of the elastic waves’ theory provides the analytical modeling of natural processes inside the simulated objects in time. Methodology. The paper evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of approaches to modeling dynamic processes. A holistic approach to the modeling of dynamic processes was formed, using the theories of elastic waves, examples demonstrating the advantages of the proposed approach are given. Results of the paper showed that applying elastic waves theory allows complementing the description of force impulses, such characteristic as a law of altering the force impulse in time. The possibility of using the time to describe the effect of force impulses on any object allows extending the use of the second law of motion and applying the first law of thermodynamics in time. Practical implications. The proposed approach facilitates the detailed operation of operating conditions and takes into account the structural, technical, and technological characteristics of the operation of different facilities. This makes it possible to optimize objects by modifying their construction, the properties of the materials of objects, and the technology of maintenance for specific operating conditions. All this contributes to increasing the competitiveness of the facilities as a whole. Value/originality. Since it is possible to use the law of momentum conservation for individual objects as well as for parts of them, using the holistic approach makes it possible to turn to systems previously considered open.
MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTER MODELING OF INTERPHASE INTERACTION IN HETEROGENEOUS SOLID STRUCTURES
Authors:   Karpenko Physico-mechanical Institute of the NAS Ukraine, Ukraine, Yuzevych Volodymyr , Koman Bohdan ,   Lviv National Ivan Franko University, Ukraine
Published: September 2022

The aim of this work was to develop a mathematical model and computer modelling of interphase interaction, mechanical stresses and adhesion mechanisms between mechanically inhomogeneous media (different phases). Methodology. For the system "metal – dielectric" we use a macroscopic approach, which corresponds to the ratio of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and physics of solid surfaces. Let’s consider the system of equations and boundary conditions for describing the change of energy parameters (σh, γ), which characterize the thermodynamic state of the system of contacting bodies. Method for calculating the main energy parameters (interfacial energy – γm, interfacial tension – σm, work of adhesion – Aadand energy of adhesive bonds – γad) in complex solid-state structures containing boundary phases is proposed. Based on the basic equations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and surface physics a mathematical model of the interphase boundary is designed. A comparative analysis of the features of interphase interaction in the systems "metal-metal", "metal-semiconductor" and "metal-dielectric" on the example of interacting systems "Cu – Zn", "Cu – Si" and "Cu – quartz". It is established that the most sensitive parameter in the analysis of interphase interactions is the interphase energy γm.A model of mechanical stress formation in the "condensate-substrate" system is proposed. In particular, internal stresses in metal condensates are caused by changes in the value of interphase energy parameters (primarily interfacial tension) in the substrate-nanocondensate system and due to phase-forming processes accompanied by changes in surface energy in the condensate volume during its formation. The resulting internal stresses in metal condensates are an integral result of the action of statistically distributed on the plane of the film local stresses. Such phenomena are due to the anisotropy of the energy parameters of the interphase interaction in the condensate plane. Behavior analysis of energy and adhesion parameters can be used to predict the results of interphase interaction in order to select contact pairs to create thermodynamically stable structures with predicted values of energy parameters of interphase interaction, a certain type of chemical bond and a given level of mechanical stresses.

The monograph presents scientific and experimental research that reveals the theoretical and practical issues of production of soybean that can solve the problem of protein deficiency and replenish the world’s food and feed resources. The research is based on the tasks of applied research on the topic: «Development of methods for improving the technology of growing legumes using biofertilizers, bacterial preparations, foliar fertilizers and physiologically active substances», state registration number 0120U102034. The authors’ research is aimed at solving current problems of technological renewal and development of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. During the study it was found that the duration of the growing season precocious and ultra-early soybean varieties develop within 83-85 days. Thus, as of 2021, 17 precocious and ultra-precocious soybean varieties have been included in the State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine. Most of these varieties have a growing season of 85 days and only varieties of Dion – 83 days and Arnica – 84 days. It is determined that the height of plants of early-maturing soybean varieties varies widely – 58-110 cm. It is proved that the height of attachment of lower beans in precocious soybean varieties is 10-16 cm from the soil surface. The lowest beans are the highest attached in the soybean varieties of OAC Brook – 16 cm, Rohiznyanka – 15 cm, Kobza and OAC Avatar – 14 cm each. The highest resistance to lodging, which determines the completeness of mowing and selection of soybean stem mass, had plants varieties Aventurine, OAC Lakeview, Geba and Berkana – 9.0 points, OAC Avatar, Rogiznyanka, Golubka – 8.9 points.All precocious varieties of soybeans are characterized by high resistance to seed shedding – 7.0-9.0 points. The most drought-resistant varieties are OAC Lakeview, Geba, Berkan – 9.0 points each. The most resistant to diseases are soybean varieties Aventurine, Kobza, Diona, Arrat, Rogiznyanka, Arnica – 9.0 points each.The seed yield of precocious soybean varieties is 2.00-3.25 t/ha. The highest yields were Dion – 3.25 t/ha, Arrata – 3.0 t/ha. The least productive varieties are Rohiznyanka – 2.00 t/ha, OAC Brook – 2.03 t/ha, Kobza – 2.14 t/ha.Soybean varieties had the highest protein content in seeds: Berkana – 43.4%, Rainbow – 42.3%, Dove and Melody – 42.1% each. The lowest protein content was in the varieties Arrata – 38.0%, Legend, Diona – 38.5%, Kobza – 39.1%.The fat content in the seeds of Geba soybean varieties – 22.0%, OAC Lakeview – 21.7% and Golubka – 21.6% was the highest, and in the varieties Beauty – 19.3%, Arnica – 20.5% and Melody – 20.6% – the smallest.

The role of pathological biomineralization (PBM) as a prognostic and diagnostic marker in thyroid cancer is continuously debated among investigators. Detection of pathological biomineralization in the lymph nodes of the neck is an alarming signal for clinicians. Typically, a lymph node with signs of calcification is a symptom of papillary thyroid cancer. The lymph node contains such a form of calcification as psammoma bodies in such cases. Psammoma bodies of relatively large size (more than 200 μm) can be detected by ultrasound. Our study aims to study the crystal-chemical and phase characteristics of calcifications of metastatic lymph nodes in thyroid cancer to develop promising methods of early diagnosis. Materials and methods. Several complex research methods have been conducted for a deeper understanding of the pathological biomineralization of metastatic lymph nodes in thyroid cancer, such as macroscopic examination, ultrasound diagnostics, detection of strict lymph node, histological, histochemical, and electron microscopic (scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy). Our study found that the main component of pathological biomineral deposits is calcium phosphate compounds. The Ca / P ratio corresponds to the characteristic features of hydroxyapatite. A significant proportion of β-tricalcium magnesium phosphate was also detected in some cases. The specific plate structure and the known phase and crystal-chemical composition of psammoma bodies can be the point of application of searches for their early detection using the latest diagnostic methods with high resolution. Conclusion. Our study demonstrated the significance of PBM in lymph nodes as a diagnostic symptom of papillary thyroid cancer patients. The presence and extent of PBM in the lymph nodes should be considered a metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer. The study of the structure, physicochemical, phase composition of lymph node calcifications, and visualization features is promising given the possible practical application for early diagnosis of metastases of papillary thyroid cancer.
Rights-Based Education Programming: A Complimentary Approach for Addressing Poverty, Education Inequality, and Development in Zimbabwe

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of 2015 sought to eradicate major problems facing the globe. Member states ratifying these goals were tasked to formulate and institute policies aimed at addressing the global economic, political, social, and environmental challenges. Three major goals sought to address fundamental issues on poverty, universal education, and gender equality. The MDGs were succeeded by the Sustainable Development Goals which are targeted to be achieved by 2030. The intersectionality of the development goals and Education cannot be underestimated. Education has been identified as a key strategy for addressing poverty, hunger, and gender equality. Although several countries ratified the MDGs, most did not achieve the goals by 2015. A shift in policy is necessary to close the achievement gap and to help the efforts for achieving the 2030 SDGs. This paper addresses Zimbabwe’s progress towards the SDGs. Progress on key indicators of quality education, poverty, and inequality of opportunities is presented. Finally, the paper suggests a rights-based education programming framework to help accelerate achievement of the SDGs.

Pemantauan gizi dan kesehatan selama periode 1000 HPK di Kota Semarang perlu dilakukan untuk pencegahan stunting. Akan tetapi, saat masa pandemi banyak posyandu yang terpaksa dihentikan kegiatannya karena masih termasuk dalam zona merah. Meskipun demikian, Dinas Kesehatan Kota Semarang tetap berupaya melakukan pemantauan gizi dan kesehatan khususnya bagi ibu hamil. Program pendampingan ibu hamil KEK ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan status kesehatan dan gizi untuk Ibu Hamil KEK di Kota Semarang. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan secara daring menggunakan media zoom meeting, whatsapp grup, dan googleform. Kegiatan yang diselenggarakan meliputi seminar dengan tema “Pencegahan Stunting pada Ibu Hamil KEK pada Masa Pandemi”, konseling gizi bagi ibu hamil, dan pendampingan Bumil KEK. Hasil program menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil terkait gizi dan kesehatan sebagian besar termasuk kategori baik. Sebagian besar (85,2%) ibu hamil telah melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan di bidan/dokter minimal 4 kali selama hamil. Sebanyak 88,9% ibu hamil telah mengkonsumsi tablet tambah darah secara rutin. Sebesar 85,2% ibu mengkonsumsi makanan sesuai prinsip gizi seimbang setiap hari. Akan tetapi, sebesar 55,6% ibu hamil yang mengalami mual muntah seringkali menjadi tidak nafsu makan dan cenderung melewatkan makan besar dan cemilan. Berdasarkan hasil monitoring program pada bulan Oktober diketahui 2 orang ibu tidak dapat melakukan IMD karena kelahiran yang prematur (rawat pisah) dan ibu usia masih muda (<20 tahun) merasa panik ketika ASI tidak langsung keluar setelah persalinan sehingga langsung memberikan susu formula.
