Published: August 2022

Abstract In 2019, the American Heart Association did not recommend the emergent use of anticoagulation to prevent recurrence or progression of acute ischemic stroke. However, its indication in patients with extracranial artery intraluminal thrombus with artery-to-artery cerebral embolization must be analyzed. In this article, we will also discuss other indications of anticoagulation. This treatment could be indicated in patients with ischemic stroke caused by embolization from cervical artery dissection, catastrophic antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome (APS) and some cases of Covid 19. For secondary prevention, anticoagulation is recommended for Cardioembolic stroke such as nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and other cardiopathies, some patients with cervical artery dissection, stroke associated with cancer, and thrombophilia such as APS. The timing to restart anticoagulation after a large ischemic stroke or after a cerebral hemorrhagic transformation always represent a challenge. Even in patients with high risk of thromboembolism it should be delayed at least two weeks, ideal after four weeks.
A evolução do pensamento sobre o Estado na visãode Peter Evans - uma abordagem teórica
Authors: PEÇANHA VINICIUS
Published: August 2022

RESUMO O trabalho discute a evolução do pensamento de Peter Evans sobre as condições teóricas em que o Estado pode atuar de forma a promover o desenvolvimento de um país. Em um primeiro momento de seu pensamento, Evans constrói o conceito de “autonomia inserida”, que é a base para a sua análise do desenvolvimento de países, focado na acumulação de capital e transformação industrial. Posteriormente, Evans reconhece a necessidade de expandir essa discussão para grupos sociais mais amplos. A abordagem utilizada pelo autor, apesar de similar, é construída sobre um corpo teórico diferente, que envolve uma nova conceituação de desenvolvimento. Nessa segunda etapa, Evans aborda a ideia de democracia deliberativa como sustentáculo do desenvolvimento, conceituando o modelo de Estado desenvolvimentista do século XXI.

Repair of a single pier of a continuous-curved-beam bridge with polyurethane cement
Authors: Zhang Haoyang , Sun Quansheng , Xia Hongxiang , Sun Dezhang , Huang Yong
Published: August 2022

Continuous-curved-beam (CCB) bridges are often used in earthquake-prone areas, but their design characteristics make it difficult to predict structural damage during an earthquake. A large-scale model of a CCB overpass that was damaged during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake was created and tested on a shaking table. After one pier suffered seismic damage, it was reinforced using polyurethane cement (PUC) and retested. The results showed that the PUC repair improved the structural performance of the bridge. The use of PUC is thus a new and valid method for the quick repair of earthquake-damaged bridge piers.
Seismic performance of a ring–beam connecting concrete-filled steel columns with RC frames
Authors: Dai Kaoshan , Li Qianqian , Wang Jianze , Huang Zhenhua
Published: August 2022

The seismic performance of a ring–beam connection system to integrate concrete-filled steel tubular columns and reinforced concrete (RC) frames was studied. Physical experiments on two specimens were conducted under monotonic and cyclic loading. The results showed the connection system had a displacement ductility ratio of 4.68 and an energy dissipation coefficient over 2.0. A finite-element model was established and the numerical and experimental results were compared in terms of skeleton curves and stiffness degradation trends. Parametric studies were then performed to evaluate the effects of the axial compressive force ratio, concrete strength and reinforcement ratio of the ring–beam joint (RBJ) and the reinforcement ratio of the frame beam on the seismic performance of the proposed RBJ connection system. The results showed that an increase in the axial compression ratio or strength of the concrete material improved the initial stiffness and strength of the connection system. The effects of the RBJ reinforcement ratio and the frame beam reinforcement ratio on seismic performance were negligible.

Published: August 2022

In order to study the effect of high temperatures on the thermomechanical properties of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, fire and mechanical tests were carried out on four fully dimensioned simply supported beams. A numerical analysis model based on the measured information was developed, and validated through experimental tests and theoretical calculations. The effects of fire exposure time, different physical parameters and concrete spalling parameters on the thermodynamic properties were further analysed. The results show that the measured vibration frequencies exhibit a fluctuating trend of decay with increasing fire exposure time. The simulated frequency decays as a power function of fire exposure time. The frequency decreases with increasing span-to-height ratio and increases with section width, elasticity modulus of the concrete and reinforcement ratio. Cross-sectional temperature field is most significantly affected by spalling depth, and increases rapidly with an increase in this parameter. With the increase in spalling area ratio, the increase in the temperature field gradually becomes smaller. The effect of spalling area ratio was relatively stable after more than 15%. Flexural bearing capacity shows a linear trend of decrease with increase in spalling depth. With the increase in spalling area ratio, it shows a power function of the decreasing trend.
The free movement of people in Africa as a human right and as an economic right: From the African Charter to the African Economic Community Protocol of 2018
Authors: Magliveras Konstantinos , Naldi Gino
Published: August 2022

The right to freedom of movement of persons in a state is recognised by article 12 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights as a fundamental human right but, more generally, freedom of movement is also exercised in the context of continental economic integration, a crucial norm in economic integration projects. Not long after the entry into force of the African Charter in 1986, the first steps towards economic integration were taken, and the freedom of movement was enshrined in the Treaty Establishing the African Economic Community. As the AEC lost steam, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights upheld the right to unhindered trans-border freedom of human mobility and curtailed attempts by states to interfere with it. In 2018 the adoption of the Protocol to the AEC Treaty on the free movement of persons manifested in an unambiguous manner the economic aspects of this human right. This article reviews the relevant African Union instruments on the free movement of persons and examines the relevant decisions issued by the African Commission. It also explains how the human rights aspects of the freedom of movement closely interact with its economic features and the importance that an expansive and properly drafted prohibition of discrimination has in securing that human mobility on the continent will not be compromised.
Freedom of expression and African elections: Mitigating the insidious effect of emerging approaches to addressing the false news threat
Authors: Simiyu Marystella Auma
Published: August 2022

African governments are increasingly enacting laws that criminalise false news or adopting practices such as internet shutdowns as strategies to address the spread of online false news during elections. These approaches have an adverse effect on the way in which citizens exercise their freedom of expression and access information necessary to develop an informed electorate that can meaningfully participate in elections. Electoral authoritarian regimes also adopt such practices to supress critical voices and reduce the transparency and integrity of electoral processes that have been tilted in their favour. Admittedly, false news poses a threat to the quality of information in the public sphere, particularly when deployed to manipulate the decisions of voters. This article calls for more proactive and human rights-based approaches to addressing the scourge of false news. In doing so, the article juxtaposes the measures adopted by South Africa (2019 and 2021) and Tanzania (2020) in their elections. It recommends that states and other stakeholders implement media and information literacy measures and ensure that owners of digital technologies apply human rights-based approaches in their policies and practices as opposed to punitive measures and internet shutdowns. This reflects a democratic culture that is more in alignment with international laws and standards on promoting and protecting freedom of expression during elections.

Exploring Modern Virtue Ethics in the Context of Oral Healthcare
Authors: Miniggio Hilde D
Published: August 2022

Virtue ethics is established as one of the dominant ethical theories that has application for healthcare practice, including oral health. Attributed to the ancient Aristotelian concepts of living a deeply fulfilled life, virtue ethics draws attention first and foremost, to the significance of character traits, or virtues in the process of ethical decision-making. This focus on character, contrasts with duty-based ethical theories such as deontological ethics (with a primary concern on duties) the principles of biomedical ethics (with a central focus on the principles and the obligations derived from these) and consequentialist ethics (with a primary focus on the consequences of actions).1

In Modular Automation, the orchestration creates the link between process equipment assemblies (PEA) and  processes towards operation. This paper presents a general methodology, so-called type-based orchestration, on how to design a fully functional modular process plant based on the module type package (MTP). In a number of discussion rounds, the steps were identified, generalized, and formulated as a method. Existing standards were applied to describe additional required information. The resulting phases and steps, as well as the practical application, have shown that a large part of the planning can be done using only the type-information of planned modules. The type-based orchestration is later completed with instance information. The methodology was tested against a  modular distillation plant from the Technical University of Dortmund.

Published: August 2022

The manipulative influence of the Soviet and German ideological machines on the population of the Ukrainian territories at the final stage of the Soviet-German war is studied. The state of studying the problem in the scientific literature and sources is considered, special attention is paid to the use of periodicals, especially local, in the propaganda of both the Soviet Union and the other warring party - Nazi Germany. Attention is drawn to the attempts of the Nazi authorities to gain the loyalty of the Ukrainian population through propaganda manipulations during the occupation, emphasizing the mass crimes and repressions of the Bolshevik regime. At the same time, the policy of the Third Reich, the civilization mission of Germany, and the resounding victories of the German Wehrmacht were portrayed positively. The Ukrainian population was intimidated by the prospect of the return of the brutal Soviet regime with its plans to punish those under German occupation. On the other hand, it is shown how the Soviet authorities exerted propaganda efforts to spread influence on the population of Ukrainian territory, even during the period of the population under German occupation in order to encourage to sabotage the measures of the occupying power, to fight against the Nazi regime. It was stressed that after the return of Soviet power, a large part of the population, who hoped for softening, liberalization of the Bolshevik regime, was disappointed by the return of repressive authorities, unjustified persecution of civilians, pressure on Ostarbeiters, former concentration camp prisoners, and socioeconomic injustice. It is noted that Soviet propaganda took measures to form the so-called "new Soviet patriotism" in order to neutralize these factors and the previous influence of the German ideological machine. To this end, the military feat of the Red Army, guerrillas, and rear workers was glorified, often exaggerated, and the crimes of the Nazis were emphasized. Thus, the inhabitants of the Ukrainian territories were encouraged to make heroic efforts for the final victory over Germany and the reconstruction of the country.
ACTIVITIES OF THE UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY IN ESTONIA
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Myroniuk O.
Published: August 2022

The study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the Ukrainian diaspora’s life in Estonia. The Ukrainian community in this country has deep historical roots, but as in other countries of the former Soviet Union, it became more active in the late 1980s. From that time community organizations began to be formed, and become important centers of diaspora. They conduct powerful cultural-educational work. They have been spreading and popularizing our cultural traditions for quite some time. Ethnic Ukrainians constantly help their homeland and maintain a positive image of Ukraine in the world. It should also be noted that Ukrainian communities in Estonia actively influence the transparent coverage of events in Ukraine. But Ukrainians in Estonia are quickly assimilated and lose their identity. One of the reasons for this is that in the Republic of Estonia after the restoration of independence, almost all Ukrainians received the citizenship of this state, in contrast to other Baltic countries. Also, the integration of newly arrived Ukrainians into the previously larger Russian community in the country. And according to the latest data, there is a much larger influx of Ukrainians over the last few years, even compared to the Russians. This gives hope that the development of the Ukrainian community will not be pretended. Currently, there is no single research that would compare the life of the Ukrainian community in Estonia in the modern period. During the research, a survey was conducted, which gave an understanding of the current state of life of the Ukrainian community and will be a good ground for further analysis. This makes the study of the history and activities of the Ukrainian community in Estonia extremely important and relevant. Thus, the systematization and analysis of information about the activities of the Ukrainian community in Estonia are incredibly relevant.
NON-RAINFALL PERIODS IN MODERN CLIMATIC CONDITIONS AS A FACTOR OF LOW FLOW IN THE RIVERS OF THE SOUTH OF UKRAINE
Authors:   Odessa State Environmental University, Kushchenko L.V. , Borovska H.O. ,   Odessa State Environmental University, Ovcharuk V.A. ,   Odessa State Environmental University
Published: August 2022

The concept of non-rainfall periods is used to assess the climatic conditions of agriculture and water management for relatively short periods of time. Non-rainfall periods are a criterion for dryness because they characterize the length of the period without effective precipitation. Now, the period of modern climate change is of scientific and practical interest, as the study of the whole process as a whole, and changes that occur in individual climatic characteristics, such as the formation and duration of non-rainfall periods. The magnitude of rainfall, the intensity of their precipitation, or their absence determine in essence the presence and duration of low flow periods on rivers. Particularly relevant is the study of factors in the formation of runoff of low flow periods in the South of Ukraine, which can also be characterized as a zone of insufficient water. The main source of filling for rivers in the low-water period of the year is primarily groundwater runoff, as well as rainfall, which enters the channel network through their infiltration into groundwater. Therefore, long non-rainy periods can lead to a decrease in the underground supply of rivers, and sometimes to their drying up. Based on the definition of the non-rainfall period, in the study, such periods were determined according to regular observations of precipitation for the warm season (April-October) 1991-2019 at 41 meteorological stations in southern Ukraine. To study the impact of the duration of non-rainfall periods on the groundwater regime used data from the directory “Groundwater Status” for 2021. As a result of the analysis of the initial data, information was obtained on the recurrence and total duration of non-rainfall periods in the study area. In the South of the country in the period under review, the number of such periods ranged from 1 to 10 per season. It should be noted that in some years no non-rainfall periods were detected at some stations. The maximum values of the total number of days in non-rainfall periods reached 161 days in 2018 in Rozdilna (Odesa region), 155 days in Nova Kakhovka (2011), 154 days in the Black Sea and Henichesk in 2012, 153 days in Odesa, Chernomorsk and Bekhtery (2019), 150 days in Belgorod-Dniester (1992). Synoptic analysis of weather conditions in 2015 and 2016 showed that the formation of the longest non-rainfall periods due to the predominance of anticyclonic weather for a month or more, resulting in September in some areas turned out to be the driest for the whole period of observations. Analysis of the dynamics of groundwater levels showed natural tendencies to reduce their level with increasing duration of non-rainfall periods, which may adversely affect the supply of rivers in the dry period in modern climatic conditions
Hygienic evaluation of long-term dynamics of post treated drinking water daily consumption indicators by adolescent population in Vladivostok

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Domestic water filter systems have been actively used for tap water treatment by many countries of the world in recent years. It is already known that, according to their technical design, such domestic filters simultaneously remove harmful chemicals and biogenic chemical elements that are useful for the human body (such as Ca and Mg) from water. The use of individual post-treatment water systems can have an adverse effect on human health, especially in deficient biogeochemical provinces.
AIM: Hygienic assessment of the long-term dynamics of the daily consumption of post treated drinking tap water in Vladivostok on an adolescent population.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective research was conducted across 4 separate follow-up periods: February of 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2021. A total of 667 adolescents from Vladivostok of age 1417 years were examined by interviewing using a specially designed questionnaire. The volume of daily consumption and the frequency of consumption per week of 3 types of water (tap drinking water, treated drinking water on individual filters, bottled drinking and mineral water) were recorded. The number of adolescents who did not consume tap drinking water that was post-treated on household devices was considered separately. Statistical processing of the received materials was performed using the "Data Analysis" package in Microsoft Excel 2019.
RESULTS: The share of post-treated drinking water in the structure of daily drinking water consumption of Vladivostok adolescent population was 7.615.8% over the years of observation. Meanwhile, the consumption of post-treated water increased by 4 times among boys and almost by 2.5 times among girls (p 0.001), and the rate of occurrence (per 100 persons) of boys and girls who did not consume post-treated tap water decreased by almost two times (p 0.001).
CONCLUSION: A pronounced long-term increase in the use of household filters for the post-treatment of physiologically inferior, low-mineralized tap drinking water should be recognized as a population risk factor for a possible deterioration of the health status of an adolescent population under the current conditions of the city of Vladivostok, which is located in the zone of a deficient biogeochemical province.

Published: August 2022

The temporal and volume-velocity parameters of left ventricular (LV) filling were studied in 39 healthy and 35 patients with CIHD, divided into subgroups based on positive (+) or negative () increase in the total amplitude of the R wave (∆R) at the height of dosed physical activity. The most pronounced pathological changes in filling dynamics were noted in the group of patients with CIHD with a positive ∆ƩR. The relationship between ∆ƩR and the state of LV diastolic function was revealed. Apparently, changes in the amplitude of the R wave during dosed physical activity can reflect the state of the functional reserve of the myocardium.

Published: August 2022

The material for this article is the cards of patients who passed through the gynecological office of the Kazan polyclinic Moscow-Kaz. zh. d. for 2 / 2 years of its existence (from 1 VII 1926 to 31 XII 1928). These patients consisted exclusively of the railway population of Kazan and the nearest stations that applied to our office not only for narrowly specialized help for female gonorrhea, but in general for obstetric and gynecological. Once in the gynecological office, they were subjected to accounting, special studies, systematic treatment and preventive treatment. During the specified period, 4,350 primary visits were registered in our office, of which 957 cases fall to the share of gonorrhea (zh. g.) and its complications, which is 22% relative to the total number of visits. The percentage is large, but not exhaustive, because not all cases are included in this number; many patients suffering from this disease have passed us by or have not been treated anywhere at all. Therefore, the actual percentage should be expected to be even higher. If we compare it with the percentages available in this regard from other authors, we will make sure that it is higher than them. So, according to the material of the Volyn district dispensary for the urban population, it is equal to 18.7%. Of course, the % obtained by us has only relative significance: it does not reflect the actual size of the gonorroization of the female population of transport, but based on it we can still say with confidence that, in terms of its prevalence and significance, gonorrhea in transport workers undoubtedly occupies one of the first places among gynecological diseases, and that the actual percentage of women affected by this the disease should be considered, in any case, not lower, but higher than it is calculated in Koltsov (from 20 to 30%).

Phagocytic reactions of inflammation in the clinic and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Salikhov I. G.
Published: August 2022

The inflammation underlying rheumatoid arthritis (RA), being a multicomponent and multi-stage process, essentially determines the clinical polymorphism of the disease. The analysis of the literature data on the functional state of neutrophils as effector cells of rheumatoid inflammation, on the participation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the formation of the clinical picture of the disease is difficult: they are few, contradictory and rarely contain conclusions of applied significance. There is no consensus on the nature of chemotactic, phagocytic and bactericidal functions of neutrophils. In addition, the functional state of blood neutrophils, synovial fluid and related phenomena is currently an insufficiently studied aspect of the pathogenesis and clinic of rheumatoid arthritis.

From the history of tuberculosis control in the Republic of Tatarstan
Authors: Wiesel A. A.
Published: August 2022

Scientific development of tuberculosis problems, its diagnosis and treatment began by doctors of Kazan in the late 60s of the XIX century. Classical works on the pathological anatomy of tuberculosis belong to A.V. Petrov, who in 1868 spoke about the "specificity of the contagiousness of tuberculosis", and H. M. Lyubimov, who described the origin of giant cells in tuberculosis granuloma, he also presented the first statistical data on tuberculosis for 1875-1885 and read public lectures about it. In the second half of the last century, Kazan surgeons performed a number of operations for osteoarticular tuberculosis; It is known that koumiss is widely used in the treatment of tuberculosis patients in the steppes of the Volga region and Bashkiria.

BACKGROUND: There is a need to optimizethe continuity between the various organizations involved in the rehabilitation of the sick and disabled. The application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health will allow overcoming the existing barriers of interdepartmental interaction.
AIMS: to create a scoring system for persistent disorders of the blood and immune system as determinants of ICF in patients with HIV infection.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A random sampling method was used to perform a retrospective analysis of 100 protocols for conducting a medical and social examination of citizens with HIV infection and AIDS. The average age of those surveyed was 39 years. Men predominated (64%). The first group of disability is set at 21%, the second ― 45%, the third group ― 25%.
RESULTS: The most significant persistent disorders of body functions in patients with HIV infection were identified in the immune system (p 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between the severity of persistent disorders of the immune system and the disability group was revealed: among the disabled of the first and second groups, severe and extremely severe problems were statistically significantly more common (p 0.01), which confirms the possibility and necessity of using the international classification of functioning in people with HIV infection/AIDS in the form of a scoring as a way to reflect the quantitative characteristics of persistent disorders of the blood and immune system, including in disabled people.

BACKGROUND: Adherence to drug therapy in patients with coronary artery disease is quite low nowadays, both in patients with myocardial infarction and in patients with chronic forms of coronary artery disease.
AIMS: of our work was to assess adherence to drug therapy (aspirin and statins) and control of risk factors for coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary stenting 12 months after endovascular treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 279 patients, of whom 3 groups were formed. Patients of group 1 (n=96) personally visited the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, adherence to the prescribed therapy and its effectiveness were assessed during the examination by a cardiologist, and if necessary, it was corrected. Patients of group 2 (n=95) contacted the study coordinator remotely. Patients of group 3 (n=88) were monitored by a general practitioner and visited a cardiologist at the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology according to the decision of the general practitioner.
RESULTS: At baseline, adherence to therapy in all groups was low and did not differ significantly between groups. 12 months after stenting, groups 1 and 2 showed a significant increase in the number of highly adherent individuals (from 17 to 33 and from 13 to 42, respectively, p 0.05), as well as a significant decrease in the number of individuals with low adherence to treatment (from 63 to 42 and from 67 to 36, respectively, p 0.05). The adherence to antiplatelet drugs was higher than to statins: 57.9% of people reduced the dose or stopped taking statins. After the follow-up time, there was a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure in groups 1 and 2 and a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure in group 2. In group 2, a significant decrease in the number of smokers was noted: from 46.3 to 31.6% of the total number of patients in the group (p 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Active monitoring of patients by a cardiologist both during the visit and remotely contributes to an increase in adherence to drug therapy and improves control of risk factors for coronary artery disease.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Down syndrome is common, insufficiently well-studied genetic pathology, which leads to early disability of the childrens population. In this pathology leads neurological disorders of different severity. Currently, the methods of correction of the existing cerebral deficit in such children are actively being developed. Correction of mental function help to socialize children with Down syndrome.
AIMS: to study the effectiveness of transcranial micropolarization in the complex therapy of neurological disorders in children with Down syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ability using the transcranial micropolarization method by N.Yu. Kozhushko allows reliably to improve the existing cerebral dysfunction in the Down syndrome.
RESULTS: According to the results of testing on a 10-point scale for assessing speech function, 6 months after the procedures, there was a significant improvement in the indicators of expressive and impressive speech, speech attention, as well as positive dynamics in the formation and improvement of neatness skills. Undesirable effects were noted in isolated cases and were manifested by a short-term sleep disturbance or arousal after a session of transcranial micropolarization.
CONCLUSIONS: The method of transcranial micropolarization adapted by N.Yu. Kozhushko, can be recommended for complex habilitation for patients with Down syndrome. Timely corrected neurological symptoms can improve the quality of life of such children and their families, and contribute to their timely adaptation in society.
Both radial and axial load distribution measurement on a V-band clamp by a new load cell design
Authors: Capobianco G , Bohun N , Gratton M , Serra R , Zinbi A , Rigollet N
Published: August 2022

This paper presents a method for determining the axial and radial load distribution of the moment generated in a V-band clamp and is validated experimentally using finite element analysis (FEA). The method comprises a slotted flange, which is distinguished by having three different
profiles for different levels of load symmetrically divided among eight sectors. Each sector is characterised and calibrated. The load cell is analysed using finite element Abaqus software to predict and corroborate the system. In the experimental test, the axial and radial loads are measured
using strain gauges for each sector and the total axial load is validated by three button sensors. Tests on the V-band clamp were successfully carried out and indicated a non-uniform distribution of axial and radial loads, with three highlights relating to existing papers: improved results
for axial loads, new results for radial loads and an analysis of the moment and its direction, which is consistent with finite element studies.
Advanced turbine generator torsional vibration evaluation method using Kalman filtering
Authors: Liska J , Jakl J , Kunkel S
Published: August 2022

Turbine generator torsional vibration is becoming a major concern in modern power grids with a high level of changeability due to the operation of renewable energy sources. The traditional absence of standard torsional vibration monitoring and a lack of experience with the operation
of torsional vibration monitoring systems opens up a wide range of opportunities for the design of torsional vibration monitoring systems and the possibility of their installation in power plants. As the measured signals are adversely affected by noise, proper filtering is essential for capturing
the torsional vibration information. The benefits of the designed Kalman filtering method are the computational efficiency and the possibility of tackling two different types of noise: the state noise and the measurement noise. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by case
studies based on practical signals measured on steam turbine generators.
