Hematemesis Secondary to Isolated Gastric Metastasis from Ovarian Carcinoma
Authors: Anuj Parikh  , Samir Parikh  , Neemish Kamat
Published: January 2023

A 49 year old female presented with two episodes of hematemesis. Six years ago she had undergone a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection for a serous papillary carcinoma of the ovary (FIGO stage IIA), followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. On regular follow up she remained disease free, until presentation. Her hemoglobin was 9.1g/dl and CA-125 level was elevated-128u/ml. Gastroscopy revealed an ulcerated submucosal tumor in the antrum measuring 5x4cms with no e/o active bleeding & minimal altered blood in stomach. Biopsy showed scanty metastatic tumor deposits from ovarian cancer. CT scan of chest, abdomen & pelvis showed a large, well-defined heterogeneously enhancing serosal mass lesion in the antrum of the stomach with soft calcification within, with no ascites. Few paraortic lymph nodes were enlarged. No other organ involvement was observed. She received chemotherapy and is currently on close follow up. Isolated gastric metastasis from an ovarian cancer is extremely rare and most often occur in advanced stage with synchronous lesions in the peritoneum. Histologically serous carcinoma is the most common variety. Clinicians should consider that in patients with submucosal tumor and history of ovarian carcinoma, the gastric lesion may be metastatic and not a primary gastric carcinoma.
Severe acute necrotising Community Acquired Pneumonia with Pyopneumothorax due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a healthy young girl
Authors: Bohra Tasneem , Prabhudesai Prahlad
Published: January 2023

Aim: We report this case to acknowledge the presence of multi drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the community setting, which transpired in a young female, without any known comorbidity or exposure risk.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an extremely unusual pathogen in community acquired pneumonia (CAP), especially in previously healthy young adults. Immune status, underlying lung disease and possible exposures like hot tub use, should always be ruled out. There have been reports of bacterial aetiology being next common after Tuberculosis for Pyopneumothorax, but ours is the first case to report P.aeruginosa as a cause of CAP and pyopneumothorax in an absolutely healthy young adult.

Case description: A young female, developed Pneumonia from the community setting which grew a nosocomial organism. Complications involved cavity formation and Pyopneumothorax, which required Intercostal Drainage (ICD) and extensive intravenous antibiotics. Immediate and appropriate management is life saving.

Conclusion: CAP due to heinous organisms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa should be suspected in any patient who presents with a rapidly progressive course, even in the absence of risk factors and exposures. In cases of Pleural effusion or Pneumothorax or both, ICD drain should be inserted. Broad spectrum antibiotic coverage especially in hemodynamically unstable patients should be initiated immediately, followed by antibiotic stewardship protocols.

Clinical significance: We would like to emphasize the importance of acquiring cultures from respiratory site, for early initiation/switching of appropriate antibiotics. Also Pseudomonas being an ominous organism yields a finer prognosis only when treated with appropriate anti-pseudomonal antibiotics.
IVC thrombectomy in a patient with adrenal tumour with IVC thrombus.
Authors: Tillu Neeraja , Kulkarni Jagdeesh
Published: January 2023

IntroductionAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis, and the association with tumour thrombus into the inferior vena cava (IVC) is infrequent. Radical surgery is the best treatment.Case ReportWe herein report a case of a large ACC of the left adrenal gland extending into the IVC through the left renal vein in a 68-year-old male patient. He presented with pain in the left side of the abdomen for one month and significant weight loss (7 kilograms). On examination, a hard irregular non-ballotable lump was palpable in the left lumbar region. Ultrasonography, computedtomography, and whole-body PET CT all revealed a large mass over the upper pole of the left kidney with tumour thrombus in the IVC. Laboratory tests showed creatinine levels of 0.9 mg/dl (normal range: 0.5–1.2 mg/dl) while plasma levels of cortisol, free metanephrines were normal. A midline laparotomy was performed, and the tumour was completely excised with regionallymphadenectomy, ipsilateral radical nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy.Results And DiscussionWe emphasize that adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare tumour and can have tumour thrombi invading the IVC. Such cases do not represent a contraindication to surgery, and we suggest radical surgical removal of cancer with the thrombus.

Published: January 2023

Family structure has a greater influence on children psychological as well as academic success and aspiration. Children from single parent families face many problems pertaining to mental health, academic success and educational aspiration. This study examines the relationship between mental health, academic achievement and educational aspiration of high school children from single parent families which was conducted during 2019-2020. A total of 240 children (120 from urban area and 120 from rural area) of 13-16yrs were selected from Dharwad taluk. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire scale was used to assess the level of mental health of children. Children previous year annual examination grades were recorded to know the academic achievement of children. Mazumdar Eucational Aspiration Inventory scale was used to know the level of educational aspiration of children. The outcomes of the study highlighted that, mental health was significantly associated with locality of children where, urban children have more mental health problems as compared to their counterparts in rural area. Academic achievement and educational aspirations were significantly associated with locality of children. Children from rural area had poor academic achievement and low educational aspiration than urban children. It was interesting to note that mental health was not correlated significantly with academic achievement of children in both the regions. However, mental health was negatively and significantly correlated with academic achievement of children in rural area. Which indicates that as mental health problems increases educational aspiration among children decreases. Further the study indicated that academic achievement was not significantly correlated with educational aspiration of children in urban and rural areas. It was noted that there is a need for intervention programmes to improve the mental health, academic success and educational aspiration among children from single parent families.

Academic performance is very important to achieve success and capability in future for a student. One way to know academic performance is through academic achievement. This study examines the academic achievement of high school children from single parent families which was conducted during 2019-2020, on a sample of 240 (120 urban and 120 rural) high school children through purposive sampling technique from 8 urban and 9 rural high schools of Dharwad taluk. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic characteristics and general information of the children. Academic achievement of children was measured by referring the children’s previous year grades in annual examination from school records. The socio-economic status scale was used to assess the socio-economic status of high school children. The study results revealed that, urban children showed better academic achievement than rural children. Boys in both the regions had low academic achievement than girls. First born children achieved high in academics than later borns in urban area. Negative correlation was observed between number of siblings and academic achievement in rural area. This indicates that, as number of sibling increases academic achievement of children decreases. In rural area, children residing with their mother had high academic achievement than children residing with their father. In urban area, children from nuclear familial had better academic achievement than children from joint families. Poor socio-economic status significantly influenced the academic achievement of children in both urban and rural area. On the whole it was noted that, more than 50 per cent of rural children need support and guidance to improve their academics.

Published: January 2023

Collar rot of chickpea is caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., is a devastating polyphagous soil borne fungus infecting more than 500 plant species across the world that is causing vast losses. It is more serious at seedling stage causing plant mortality ranged from 54.7 to 95%. Treating soil borne pathogens with fungicides is not reasonable due to very high costs. Environmental hazards are also involved. Therefore, integrated management of pathogens using bioagents and botanicals agents is the paramount alternative. Extracts of higher plants have demonstrated a wide range of activity against plant pathogenic organisms. The present research work was carried out to manage the pathogen and disease in vitro by using plant extracts by using poison food technique in which commercially available once showed maximum inhibition followed by agave extract and NSKE, whereas under In vitro evaluation of bioagents by dual culture technique, Trichoderma viride found most effective compared to other bioagents tested.

A Definitional Framework for Cyber Warfare. The Ukrainian Aspect
Authors:   Koszalin University of Technology, Górka Marek
Published: January 2023

The article outlines a position expressing the view that cyberspace opens up a new dimension of politics, in which cyber campaigns have the potential to become an important means or alternative to warfare in order to achieve strategic advantage. The consequences of cyber measures may not necessarily lead to disasters or military reprisals that disable a state’s critical infrastructure at an unexpected moment but instead may affect the sources of power and its legitimacy. This fact forces one to ponder the question of the nature of the cyber conflict. Global awareness among policymakers about cyber warfare has increased significantly over the past few years, and many states are preparing to defend themselves against this threat. Cyber warfare is part of the evolution of conventional warfare, which in turn is linked to the broad changes in the social and political spheres and, above all, in the technological sphere. This paper aims to seek an answer to the question: are we facing cyber warfare? The answer to this question will be provided by analysing the events in the initial stage of the war in Ukraine in 2022.

Authors: Zakharchuk Ekaterina , Trifonova Polina
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to assessing trends in income and expenditure of the consolidated budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the Ural Federal District, which were caused by the global pandemic of coronavirus infection and changes in the macroeconomic situation in the country and the world. The relevance of the study is due to the need to determine the impact of internal and external shocks on the dynamics of budget indicators and, as a result, to assess the budget balance of the execution of the consolidated budgets of the regions. A feature of the modern budget policy, implemented in special conditions, is the combination of financing new tasks, with the continuation of the implementation of the previously defined national development goals of the country. The article presents a theoretical review of scientific research in the area under study. Based on data from open official sources, using general scientific methods, the trends that have developed in the consolidated budgets of the regions of the Ural Federal District in the pandemic and post-pandemic period are shown. The authors analyzed the structure and dynamics of the revenue and expenditure side of the consolidated budgets of the regions that are part of the Ural Federal District for 2019–2021, and also identified trends in the first half of 2022.
According to the growth of the revenue side of the consolidated budget among the regions that are part of the Ural Federal District for 2019–2021. Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions are in the lead. Assessing the situation with the income of the consolidated budgets of the regions of the federal district for the first half of 2022, it can be noted that more than 2/3 of the total income growth was made by the oil and gas territories of the Ural Federal District — the Khanty-Mansiysk and
Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs and the Tyumen Region. The structure of expenses of the consolidated budgets of the Ural Federal District for 2019–2021 has practically not changed. In the first half of 2022, the Kurgan region showed the worst performance both in terms of income and expenses. The consolidated budget posted a record surplus in the first half of 2022 thanks to a sharp decrease in spending. As a result, the analysis of revenues and expenditures of the consolidated budgets of the regions that are part of the Ural Federal District for the analyzed period showed that differentiation in terms of the budgetary provision of the regions is increasing.
Inheritance of cultural asset of the family: educational and professional paths of generations, biographical approach
Authors: Proshkova Zoya
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the cultural capital of the family, as well as the ways of its transmission to the younger generations. The relevance of the problem is due to the need to develop human resources, especially educational and professional ones. The research questions were the types of cultural family capital and the peculiarities of its transmission, the influence of the teacher's profession in the field of preschool education on personal and intergenerational social mobility, the passage of educational and professional path by representatives of several family generations, the relevance of the biographical method.
The project studied biographical interviews of parents of students of top-rated Russian schools. The collected empirical arrays allowed us to draw conclusions about three generations of the informants' family. In addition to the intergenerational analysis, a study of existing sociological projects was conducted that examined in detail the activities of teachers in the field of preschool and school education.
The author presents the substantiation of several significant mechanisms of inheritance of cultural capital by the middle and younger generations of the family. The study of biographical materials was carried out using the domestic computer program Diskant. It is established that the profession of a kindergarten teacher has a positive effect on personal and generational social mobility. The main way of transferring family capital is the inheritance of value orientations for education and obtaining a profession in the field of highly qualified labor. An additional mechanism for the transmission of cultural resources can be considered a visit to cultural events and clubs.
The relevance of the biographical approach in application to the problems of research is substantiated. The method provides extensive empirical material with the opportunity to delve into the understanding of texts. The limitation in using the biographical approach was the complexity of digital processing of primary sociological information.

The task of paramount importance for any state is the preservation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, the sustainable development of territories. Globalization, which has affected all spheres of social life, has exacerbated the problem of the loss of a person's identity to the local. In conditions when the state, under pressure from the external environment, needs to maintain sovereignty and create conditions for development, universalists, for whom sovereignty is not a value, carry a protest potential, which under certain conditions manifests itself in conflict forms of interaction with the authorities.
The purpose of the study is to identify the environmental capabilities of the territory in strengthening the connection of the individual with the place of residence, to identify the resources of collective integration at the level of local communities with the prospect of reaching wider social institutions.
It is determined that the objective condition that ensures the stability of society in the context of the transformation of the social structure is the presence of consolidation — the social cohesion of its citizens, their identity with the place of residence.
The conceptual basis of the study is a socio-territorial approach that contributes to an objective analysis of the processes occurring in local communities under the influence of globalization processes. Within the framework of the approach, interrelations and interdependencies between economic, moral, ethical, institutional processes observed on the territory of local communities in the context of globalization are established.
The properties of global processes that level out local specifics are named. Theoretically substantiated social practices of forming a person's commitment to the place of residence, in particular, one of the solutions is the accumulative effect of horizontal connections, the network principle of interaction between residents of the local community.
The study of local communities in the context of globalization expands the possibilities of modeling the possibilities of the local as a field of resistance to the global.
Russian and Eurasian liberal and conservative values in dynamics
Authors: Renard-Koktysh Anna
Published: January 2023

The juxtaposition of the values of security and freedom is traditional for both political-theoretical and practical dimensions: for example, the public reaction to the disengagement between the West and Russia has shown that it is not so much about tactics as about fundamental things, in particular, different value choices. Sociological research shows that this demarcation was planned for a long time: Thus, over the past 30 years, Russian public opinion, contrary to the general model, has demonstrated a simultaneous increase in support, along with liberal, and traditional values, in particular, those associated with religion. For the EAEU, an association built on formally liberal principles, this means a number of unanswered challenges.
Family responsibilities as the moral basis of marriage
Authors: Vyshkvartsev Vitaliy
Published: January 2023

In this article, on the basis of historical, comparative legal structural-functional and dialectical methods of research, the author examines the institution of marriage and family in the spiritual and moral dimension. The sources of Byzantine law have influenced the modern understanding of the family and its consolidation in the legislation of the Russian Federation. Particular attention in this article is given to the duties of spouses. After analyzing the family legislation of a number of Slavic states (Bulgaria, Serbia, etc.), the author found that little attention was paid to the duties of spouses in these documents. The duties of spouses are considered in the context of property relations, which emphasizes the modern influence of Western European liberal concepts of law. The author comes to the conclusion that the institution of the family cannot be measured by any material values in their utilitarian perception. That is why, when society perceives the moral essence of a family union based on obligation, having passed the path of «knowledge testing», such institutions for regulating property relations as a marriage contract will become unclaimed, which even today carries destructive properties for people who are not only married, but also on the way to it, a priori laying the motives of doubt and distrust between spouses (future spouses). Modern family legislation of the Russian Federation requires consistent and progressive ethization and implementation of a wider «catalog of duties» of spouses, based on the sources of Russian law (church law) and theological sources, which will gradually free the Family Code of the Russian Federation from neo-liberal tendencies that significantly impede the development of native Russian family tradition, family policy, which must be protected from vulgar positivism and ideological labels.
Cultural code: toward a new value system (social and philosophical trends)
Authors: Kotlyarov Igorʹ
Published: January 2023

The article substantiates a need to develop a cultural code as a guardian, carrier and translator of the traditional values of modern societies, a catalyst for perfecting valuable reference points, preferences and determinants of social subjects, setting norms for them and regulating their socio-cultural activities. The author demonstrates that through the history, a cultural code working as a mechanism of spiritual and moral preeminence and ethno-cultural identity contributes to shaping spirituality and developing integration and socio-cultural interaction in the contemporary world; protects traditional values from destruction by informational and communicational revolution and by the intervention of social nets into social relations; determines the protection of culture against marginalization ruining traditional connections and forms of value and civilizational interaction.
Features of searching and selecting information when reading online in native and foreign languages by students of non-linguistic universities
Authors: Lopatinskaya Victoria
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the features of digital reading at the stage of search, relevance assessment and selection of information in native and foreign languages. The formation of skills to navigate information flows, understand what is read in a foreign language, and use the information to solve professional problems is one of the goals of teaching foreign languages at the present stage of development of higher education. However, the abundance of information sources on the Internet gives rise to problems in their choice. The author analyzes the difficulties faced by students in the process of searching and selecting relevant information both in their native and foreign languages. When using foreign sources, students experience more difficulties at the stage of information search, caused by differences between reading in their native and foreign languages. It is noted that most studies in the field of features of searching and selecting information from digital sources are limited to one language, most often native, and there is a shortage of works on the material of the Russian language.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the strategies for searching and assessing the relevance of a source of information in the native (Russian) and foreign (English) languages differ among first and second year university students of non-linguistic faculties.
The article presents the results of a survey conducted among first and second year students of non-linguistic faculties. The results of the study indicate that the skills formed by students when working with Russian-language sources are generally transferred to English-language ones, but students prefer to work with information in their native language. The article reveals similarities and differences in the process of searching for educational and / or professional information and concludes that the skill of evaluating and verifying online sources is insufficiently developed.

Illegal practice of tax control as a threat to the precious metals mining sector under sanctions pressure
Authors: Shkolik Oleg
Published: January 2023

The article examines the problematic issues of taxation on the extraction of minerals of those taxpayers who are users of deposits of precious metals. Within the framework of the study, the author hypothesized that under the conditions of sanctions pressure on the sector of extraction and processing of precious metals, the financial process management system in the field of fiscal obligations and payments has certain disadvantages that exert internal negative pressure on this branch of economic activity, which in turn acts as a more significant factor constraining the economic activity of subsoil users compared to with external sanctions. The issues of dependence of the national economy on the export of hydrocarbon raw materials and mineral semi-finished products, as well as on the import of high-tech products are considered. The country and product structures of exports and imports are investigated, the role and significance of exports of precious metals to world markets are determined. The aggregate structure of metal exports is considered, as well as the share of precious metals in it. The methods and consequences of sanctions pressure on the domestic precious metals mining industry are characterized. The practice of tax control on the tax on the extraction of minerals in relation to users of deposits of precious metals is investigated. The systemic, methodological and terminological errors of tax authorities made by them in the implementation of standard-setting activities, in the qualification and interpretation of the provisions of Chapter 26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, as well as industry legislation on precious metals, are considered and characterized. Using the example of some objects of taxation by the mineral extraction tax, the substantive essence of the object of taxation and the concept of "concentrates and other intermediates containing gold", as well as the fiscal consequences of errors in their qualification, are revealed.

Medical tourism: where Russian citizens can go
Authors: Shtolʹts Lora
Published: January 2023

Countries that are the most attractive for Russian medical tourists in peacetime and when political tensions arise are considered in this article. The availability of medical services for Russians currently abroad is assessed due to the sanctions policy applied by various countries, including Western ones, against Russia. One of the limiting factors in the access of outbound medical tourism for Russians is the situation with air traffic between Russia and countries where Russians prefer travelling to receive medical services. So, direct flights are currently carried out with limited number of countries; basically, Russian medical tourists can get there with transfers. At the same time, a number of countries have completely restricted the entry of Russians into their territories, including for tourism purposes. This inevitably leads to a shift in demand for outbound medical tourism for Russians across countries. The global market for medical tourism is actively developing now, and, in general, it is already quite capacious and competitive. This is due to different countries have a number of identical specializations in the field of medicine. Therefore, Russians have the opportunity to find alternative countries to receive medical services, including by turning to the domestic market, in particular for the treatment of cancer. As before, the Middle East (Israel) will be attractive for Russian medical tourists. Also, a shift in demand from Europe to the countries of South and Southeast Asia will be.
