Mindfulness meditation use in chronic pain treatment in rural Australia: Pitfalls and potential – A case report
Authors: Bishop Michael Eric Russell , Hamiduzzaman Mohammad , Veltre Arron Sam
Published: February 2023

Mindfulness is a state of awareness characterized by open and non-judgmental recognition of thoughts and sensations and an ability to resist the usual wandering of an individual’s attention. Usually achieved by meditation, mindfulness is recognized as a treatment for chronic pain. Evidence, thus far, has been characterized by poor quality trials and mixed results, but a growing body of research is further investigating its effectiveness. Despite inconclusive evidence, the inherent difficulties of mindfulness research, and problems of accessibility in rural settings, mindfulness meditation is an emerging treatment strategy for many chronic pain patients. This report presents the case of a patient admitted to a rural hospital in New South Wales, whose quality of life was severely impacted by chronic pain.

Published: February 2023

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among women. Majority of women suffering from CAD have one or more risk factors for CAD in their parents. Women are at higher risk for cardiac events with respect to traditional risk factors including dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking. Menopause, pregnancy complications, inflammation, anemia, migraines, and depression are important sex-specific novel risk factors for CVD, and it is important that clinicians should be aware of these risks to design strategies for prevention. Education, self-awareness in women, and timely recognition of CAD in women with lifestyle modifications and timely intervention result in better outcomes.

The article is devoted to the study of directions and principles of the state land use management. The authors describe the rational land use methods ways of Ukraine's land resources awareness formation in the minds of Ukrainians. It has been revealed who owns the land resources in Ukraine. The article describes the process of forming the land market in the context of land reform and describes the peculiarities of changes implementation. The principles of land use rationalization and the introduction of effective land use in order to improve the quality of life for the Ukrainian people have been clarified. It was concluded that the state management system should be established for the rational use of land resources in order to obtain the maximum result from the realization of the soil potential. In turn, one should understand the essence of the concept of rational use. Rational use is the one which takes into account all features of land resources in order to ensure high efficiency of land use and compliance with all norms of land protection, prevention of fertility deterioration. The purpose of the article is to study the process of implementing the land reform and the formation of the land market in Ukraine, to overview the purpose of this process in the form of benefits for the Ukrainian people, to determine the role of state administration in the process of effective land use, to describe the principles of public administration and principles of rational land use. The creation of a land market in Ukraine is a necessary measure, which in the long run will solve a complex of existing problems, among which are legalization, control and compliance with the rules for buying and selling land. In fact, these processes are already taking place, but uncontrollably. Rational use of Ukraine's land resources is possible only with effective state land and general agrarian policy.

Authors: Verheliuk Yuliia , Leschenko Maryna
Published: February 2023

The article examines the essence, features and legal framework that regulates the market of non-state pension market in Ukraine. Certain advantages of concluding pension contracts by insurance companies over the conclusion of pension contracts by non-state pension funds have been identified. An analysis of the main indicators of the balance sheet of non-state pension funds was carried out, namely the amount of pension payments, pension assets and pension contributions. It has been established that the balance sheet of non-state pension funds is highly liquid and non-state pension funds of Ukraine are a fairly reliable financial institution. An assessment of the dynamics of the volumes of pension contracts concluded by pension funds was carried out. The main trends of concluding pension contracts by non-state pension funds were determined, it was established that more than 90% of concluded pension contracts are contracts of individuals, while legal entities are not interested in involving workers in the third level of the pension system of Ukraine, and the share of pension contracts of individual entrepreneurs is generally 0.01%. The main problems restraining the activity of the non-state pension system were identified: low level of financial literacy of the population, low level of income of the population, lack of tax incentives for employers, low level of public trust in financial institutions, imperfection of normative and legal regulation, narrow choice of financial instruments for investment, lack of qualified staff and others. The main ways of improving the efficiency of the third level of the pension system are proposed.
FINANCIAL MARKETS TRANSFORMATION DETERMINANTS
Authors: Gariaga Lesia
Published: February 2023

The article examines the determinants of the financial markets transformation. Three levels of transformation are distinguished (the mega-level (global) forms a set of rules, norms, and standards of world financial markets functioning; the macro-level (national) has been described by a multi-level system of factors related to the functioning of the state in the relevant aspects of its development; the micro-level includes a set of default determinants of the financial markets transformation related to the activities of individual subjects). Nine determinant groups were identified, which have the most significant impact on the functioning and development of financial markets. Among them, the following are highlighted: political (have a powerful institutional aspect and are designed to ensure (enable) a specific political stability of changes in the financial markets of Ukraine), economic (the basis of ensuring the effectiveness of the activities of its individual subjects), social and cultural (significantly affect the efficiency and the quality of the transformational processes flow in the financial markets of Ukraine), technological («fintech» today is one of the crucial drivers of the modern financial markets transformation into a global business environment, where digitalization of economic processes is the only way of development), environmental (natural) (enable a change in the qualitative state; environmental affecting the primary recipients of financial markets – people (participants in market relations)), legal (related to the retrospective analysis of legislative changes in the field of financial markets regulation, with the determination of the features of the regulatory and legal framework of functioning), ethical (caused by a change in the general paradigm of the ethic consciousness of citizens on a global scale and an increase in its quality in the light of recent historical changes), digital (the development of digital technologies is taking place at an exponential rate, fundamentally changing the essence of doing business in global financial markets, dematerializing, decentralizing and democratizing the main business processes) and force majeure (pandemic, military, new challenges) (criteria of force majeure are: emergency, unpredictability, inevitability and cause-and-effect relationship between the circumstances and the impossibility of the financial markets to perform their functions). Determinants of the financial markets transformation at different levels were detailed with a description of the factors and mechanisms of their influence on transformational processes.
GRAVITY MODEL OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE: ORIGIN AND MODERN APPROACHES
Authors: Galetska Tetiana , Topishko Natalia , Galetskyi Sergii
Published: February 2023

The article examines the historical origins of the formation of gravity modeling and its use in the study of the intensity of international trade. It is emphasized that the driving forces of international exchange and the search for optimal policy ways of its implementation are based on classical theories of international trade. They are based on a liberal approach to deny the need for state restrictions on the free flow of goods between countries in order to regulate the volume, structure and directions of the country's foreign trade. The contribution of outstanding economists to the development of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the construction of gravity models of international exchange is considered. The features of their application for empirical research in the field of international trade are characterized. Factors affecting international trade flows are identified. An analysis of theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of an effective gravity model of foreign trade was carried out based on the search for factors that influence it and contribute to the intensification of international trade flows between partner countries. The specificity of the involvement of new additional variables in gravity models is shown. It is emphasized that the bifurcation processes taking place in the modern globalized world form new conditions of international exchange. Attention is focused on the fact that such a situation necessitates the further development of theoretical and methodological bases for forecasting the volume of international trade based on the identification of cause-and-effect dependencies and spatio-temporal relationships. The conducted review of the history of gravity modeling, its use in studies of the international trade intensity, the contribution of prominent economists to the deepening of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the of international exchange gravity models construction showed quite wide opportunities for their further improvement based on taking into account the factors that influence the volume of bilateral trade. It was investigated that the problems are: 1) Selection of variables of the gravity model from the side of export and import for its adaptation to modern conditions of the world trade. The bifurcation processes taking place in the modern globalized world form new conditions of international exchange. 2) Gravitational models are empirical models built on liberal and neoliberal theories of international economic relations. In the conditions of globalization, a high level of interaction and interdependence of countries, the intensification of international trade flows, the movement of resources from a weaker trading partner to rich and powerful states means the flow of resources from underdeveloped and poor countries to stronger and richer ones. Gravitational models of international trade are a reflection and improvement of this process.
C3-Alkylation of Furfural Derivatives by Continuous Flow Homogeneous Catalysis
Authors: Kiala Kinkutu Gredy , Louis Catherine , Roy Myriam , Blanchard Juliette , Oble Julie
Published: February 2023

The C3-functionalization of furfural using homogeneous ruthenium catalysts requires the pre-installation of an ortho-directing imine group, as well as high temperatures, which did not allow scaling up, at least under batch conditions. In order to design a safer process, we set out to develop a continuous flow process specifically for the C3-alkylation of furfural (Murai reaction). The transposition of a batch process to a continuous flow process is often costly in terms of time and reagents. Therefore, we chose to proceed in two steps: the reaction conditions were first optimized using a laboratory-built pulsed-flow system to save reagents. The optimized conditions in this pulsed-flow mode were then successfully transferred to a continuous flow reactor. In addition, the versatility of this continuous flow device allowed both steps of the reaction to be carried out, namely the formation of the imine directing group and the C3-functionalization with some vinylsilanes and norbonene.
Oxidation of Thiols with IBX or DMP: One-pot Access to Thiosulfonates or 2-Iodobenzoates and Applications in Functional Group Transformations
Authors: Chandra Ajeet , Yadav Navin R. , Payra Soumen , Parida Keshaba N.
Published: February 2023

Thiosulfonates are accessed by oxidation of feed-stock thiols using either DMP in DCM or IBX in MeCN at rt (~30 degree C). The protocol gives access to a variety of thiosulfonates in good to excellent yields from both aromatic and aliphatic thiols. The reaction with DMP is found to be better than IBX in terms of reaction rate and conversion, whereas the oxidation with DMP requires lower equivalent than IBX. Benzyl thiols are however found to follow a different reaction pathway when treated with DMP; O-benzyl esters of o-iodobenzoates were isolated. The 1H NMR spectroscopic monitoring studies for the IBX-mediated oxidation of thiol found disulfide as an initial intermediate, which is proposed to undergoes a cascade of oxidations to produce thiosulfonate
Explaining and approaching eco-anxiety: A theoretical and auto-ethnographic exploration of minds in climate crisis
Authors:   , Mclean Lucy
Published: February 2023

The negative impacts of climate change are widespread, and detrimental to human lives and livelihoods. These effects will continue to worsen. The responses of institutions and political systems to adapt to this crisis have generally not been proportionate to the threats posed, nor successful in reaching internationally agreed goals such as keeping warming within a two-degree range. Many people are understandably concerned about this crisis, and the lack of action, and are reporting associated deteriorations in their mental health. The term ‘eco-anxiety’ has been used as an umbrella term to describe symptoms like those of anxiety or depression felt by people who are very concerned about this socio-political and ecological problem.

In this thesis I consider how a systemic problem like climate change becomes experienced as personal distress, and how psychologists might ethically respond to this. To do this, theoretical research is combined with auto-ethnography to develop explanations about eco-anxiety, consider the ethics of therapeutic intervention, and imagine what therapy could look like. Across the five chapters, I consider the current tensions that exist in our ways of understanding eco-anxiety, and how this sits within a broader context of a mental health system that uses dichotomous ways of thinking about distress as either normal or abnormal. I adopt an embodied way of thinking about eco-anxiety, paying close attention to the structures – neoliberal, authoritarian, socio-scientistic institutions – that shape eco-anxious minds and proliferate climate change. This embodied understanding of eco-anxiety also sees people, and their bodies, as sites of agency. In the final chapter, in an embodied process of writing, I draw on queer theory, a theoretical lens which has helped me to unsettle harmful structures – and associated dichotomous thinking – in other aspects of my life. This theory allows me to generate ideas about how to help ease eco-anxiety without re-individualizing the problem or undermining the severity of its source. Unsettling these dichotomous understandings of what is normal or abnormal, nature or human, political or personal, helps to locate sites of possibility for approaching this simultaneous crisis of mind and climate.
A Fully Integrated 7–9 GHz UWB Radar IC with an LO Correlation Receiver
Authors: Seo Byeong Jae , Park Dong Wuk , Eo Yun Seong
Published: February 2023

In this paper, a fully integrated 7–9 GHz ultra-wideband (UWB) radar IC is implemented in 0.13 μm CMOS technology. For high-resolution and long-range detection, the conventional equivalent time sampling method and the local oscillator correlation receiver are used. The switching of transmitter circuitry significantly reduces power consumption. A Tx to Rx loop-back test ensures that the detection range is up to 5.6 m and that the sensitivity is -81 dBm. The actual experiments with the antenna agree well with our prediction. The chip size is 2.8 mm × 2 mm, and the current consumption is 110 mW at 1.2 V.
Efficiency Bound Estimation for a Practical Microwave and mmWave Wireless Power Transfer System Design
Authors: Kim Ho Yeol , Lee Youngseok , Nam Sangwook
Published: February 2023

In this study, we present an efficient method to find the power transfer efficiency (PTE) bound for practical microwave and mmWave wireless power transfer (MPT) systems composed of transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) array antennas. The PTE bound of the MPT system is obtained by formulating it as a convex optimization problem (CVP) that maximizes the power received at the Rx array under the transmit power constraint. The channel state information (CSI) between each element of the Tx and the Rx is the input parameter of the proposed CVP. The CSI is estimated using the Friis transmission equation and the active element pattern of the array antenna because the Tx and the Rx are assumed to be large arrays. For an MPT system designed at 10 GHz and 24 GHz, the estimated PTE bound is compared to those in previous studies while varying the distance and tilted angle between the Tx and the Rx. The computation times required for the methods are compared. The numerical results show that the proposed method provides a faster and more accurate PTE bound without full electromagnetic simulation of the MPT system consisting of Tx and Rx array antennas. This study's results will serve as guidelines for practical MPT system design in the future.

Published: February 2023

A alimentação humana é um ato social que faz parte do cotidiano mundial e durante
o período escolar é um dos fatores ambientais mais importantes relacionados ao
crescimento e desenvolvimento e promoção da saúde da criança e do adolescente.
Desenvolver juntamente com a escola uma anamnese em relação a alimentação
infantil e saber das possíveis patologias e dietoterapias especificas é despertar nas
crianças a atenção para o que estão comendo e para a importância de incluírem
alimentos saudáveis em suas refeições, conscientizar as merendeiras sobre as
qualidades nutritivas e de higiene dos alimentos que preparam, contar com a
orientação de nutricionistas, entreter a família no processo, utilizar produtos que
provêm da agricultura familiar de cada região esse é o cenário ideal para se oferecer
uma alimentação escolar saudável e de qualidade, uma experiência a ser multiplicada
em todo o país.
A escola desempenha importante papel na formação dos hábitos alimentares, pois é
nesse ambiente que crianças e adolescentes permanecem por um período de tempo
diário muito longo. Contudo, os programas de educação nutricional devem ir além das
atividades em sala de aula. É fundamental que a escola proporcione condições de
concretização dos conceitos relativos ao tema, apresentados aos alunos.
Há reflexões teóricas sobre a construção do direito à alimentação, e sua contribuição
para a merenda escolar. O objetivo é compreender, por meio do direito à alimentação,
como os estudantes serão impactados diante da pandemia da Covid-19. Entretanto,
pode-se perceber a importância que os serviços de alimentação disponíveis no
ambiente escolar deveriam assumir, principalmente no que se refere ao
fornecimento/comercialização de alimentos e refeições adequados do ponto de vista
nutricional, além desses aspectos, buscando o atendimento às preferências, aversões
e patologias dos alunos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever alguns
aspectos dos serviços de alimentação no âmbito escolar, a saber, o Programa
Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) e as cantinas escolares, e analisar a
coexistência desses serviços e sua influência no comportamento alimentar dos
alunos

This article topic is about the common strategies of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, where language teaching began from the ancient era until our time now, due to the old contact   of the non-Arabs, their language and their culture with the Arabs, the level of education rose first to preserve the Arab language and heritage from disappearance and distortion.  Then the foreigners' interest in him through the ages, this prompted Arab scholars to devote their efforts and develop ways to teach it as a second language to non-native speakers. And that’s because teaching Arabic requires great experience and effort, and complete knowledge, in order to learn and teach it, and this is what will be presented below.

يصب موضوع هذا المقال حول مجمل الإستراتيجيات الشائعة لتدريس اللّغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها ، حيث أنّ  تدريس اللّغة بدأ منذ العصر القديم حتى عصرنا المعاصر هذا ونظرا للاحتكاك الذي كان قديما من طرف الأعاجم ولغتهم وثقافتهم مع العرب، ارتفع مستوى التعليم أولا للحفاظ على اللغة والموروث العربي من التحريف والزوال والتشويه، ثم بعد ذلك إهتمام الأعاجم به عبر العصور، ما دفع العلماء العرب لتكريس جهودهم فيها ووضع طرق لتدريسها كلّغة تانية لغير ناطقيها، اذ أنّ تدريسها يتطلب خبرة وجهدا كبيرين وإلماما كلّيا باللّغة العربية لأجل التمكن منها و التمكن من تعليمها.

Published: February 2023

Objectives: Hysterectomy is the most frequent major surgery performed worldwide in women and in recent years most studies include validated instruments to measure sexual quality of life pre and post operatively. The present review assesses sexual function following abdominal hysterectomy for benign pathology, especially in relation to minimally invasive surgery: laparoscopic and robotics according to different considerations. Mechanism: The uterus has traditionally been considered a sexually functioning organ, so uterine removal has been associated with negative outcomes on patients’ sexual function despite limited and controversial evidence. By contrast, reviews conducted in recent years conclude that hysterectomies performed for benign uterine pathology improve patients’ sexual function and quality of life. Findings in brief: Some factors associated with surgery have been specially assessed: the combination of hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy in patients with benign pathology can lead to alterations in sexual function and should be restricted only to patients at high risk of ovarian cancer, moreover, there is no current scientific evidence to justify performing a subtotal hysterectomy to preserve or improve sexual quality of life over total hysterectomy. Conclusions: postoperative sexual changes have not been demonstrated to mainly depend on surgical approach, in fact, patients who had sexual concerns prior surgery will continue to present them after hysterectomy despite of the vaginal cuff suture approach.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of maternal serum creatinine, cystatin C, and uric acid levels in relation to fetal death in pregnant women with preeclampsia. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 708 women with preeclampsia, and 738 healthy pregnant women were selected as control. Medical records were reviewed to collect obstetric, neonatal, and biochemical data, including creatinine, cystatin C, and uric acid concentrations. Results: Maternal serum creatinine, cystatin C, and uric acid concentrations were significantly higher in the preeclamptic group than in the control (p < 0.05). Preeclamptic women in the fetal death group had significantly higher creatinine levels during their second and third trimesters, and higher uric acid concentrations throughout the pregnancy compared to the fetal survival group. Preeclamptic patients were divided into four groups based on quartiles of uric acid levels. The overall fetal survival rate in patients with upper-quartile uric acid concentrations was significantly lower than those with low uric acid levels during pregnancy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that uric acid concentration was a significant risk factor for fetal death in the first and second trimesters in the preeclamptic group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In pregnant women with preeclampsia, fetal death was associated with upper-quartile uric acid concentrations in the first and second trimesters. Uric acid levels can be an indicator of fetal death in the early and middle stage of pregnancy.

In the present era of global warming and dramatically increased environmental pollution posing a threat to animal life, the understanding and manipulation of organisms’ resources of stress tolerance is apparently a question of survival. Heat stress and other forms of stressful factors induce a highly organized response of organisms at the cellular level where heat shock proteins (Hsps) and in particular Hsp70 family of chaperones are among the major players in the protection from the environmental challenge. The present review article summarizes the peculiarities of the Hsp70 family of proteins protective functions being a result of many millions of years of adaptive evolution. It discusses the molecular structure and specific details of hsp70 gene regulation in various organisms, living in diverse climatic zones, with a special emphasis on the protective role of Hsp70 in adverse conditions of the environment. The review discusses the molecular mechanisms underlying Hsp70-specific properties that emerged in the course of adaptation to harsh environmental conditions. This review also includes the data on the anti-inflammatory role of Hsp70 and the involvement of endogenous and recombinant Hsp70 (recHsp70) in proteostatic machinery in various pathologies including neurodegenerative ones such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases in rodent model organisms and humans in vivo and in vitro. Specifically, the role of Hsp70 as an indicator of disease type and severity and the use of recHsp70 in several pathologies are discussed. The review discusses different roles exhibited by Hsp70 in various diseases including the dual and sometimes antagonistic role of this chaperone in various forms of cancer and viral infection including the SARS-Cov-2 case. Since Hsp70 apparently plays an important role in many diseases and pathologies and has significant therapeutic potential there is a dire need to develop cheap recombinant Hsp70 production and further investigate the interaction of externally supplied and endogenous Hsp70 in chaperonotherapy.
Pilot Study: The Differential Response to Classical and Heavy Metal Music in Intensive Care Unit Patients under Sedo-Analgesia

Background: Music is considered a valuable method for stimulating patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) by enhancing their awareness and arousal. Although biographical music and auditory relative stimulation has been shown, responses to other types of music has not yet been addressed. The purpose of this study was to assess the brain responses in critically ill patients under sedo-analgesia to music that is highly different in features. Methods: We measured the individual responses to three types of music: classical (ClassM, Mozart), dodecaphonic (DodecM, Schönberg), and heavy metal (HeavyM, Volbeat) in six critically ill patients (one male, five female, all between 53 and 82 years old) with primary brain pathology under sedo-analgesia. We analyzed the changes in each patient’s electroencephalogram (EEG) band composition (delta, 1–4 Hz, theta 4–8 Hz, alpha 8–13 Hz, and beta 13–30 Hz) and synchronization throughout the scalp. Results: In spite of the heterogeneity in the responses, ClassM did not change the basal activity, although there was a tendency toward a decrease in brain activity. DodecM increased the alpha and beta bands from the right hemisphere. However, HeavyM increased the delta and theta bands from the frontal lobes and the alpha and beta bands from most of the scalp. No significant changes in synchronization were observed. Conclusions: Different types of music induce heterogeneous responses in the brain, suggesting that music interventions could affect the brain state of patients. HeavyM induced the greatest changes in brain responses, whereas ClassM showed a tendency to reduce brain activity. The result of this study opens the possibility of using different types of music as tools during the rehabilitation process.

Background: Although exercise stress electrocardiography (ECG) is a popular tool for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD), the induced ST-depression without coronary artery stenosis (FST) remains a challenge for accurate diagnosis. Exercise-induced ST depression is related to poor prognosis even in non-obstructive disease; however, its determinants have not been fully defined. We sought to investigate whether ventriculo-vascular interactional indexes such as arterial stiffness index, exercise hemodynamic parameters and echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) functional parameters were related to FST. Methods: In the current study, 609 participants who underwent both supine bicycle exercise echocardiography and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurement without exercise-induced regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) were analyzed. Referral reasons for stress test were CAD detection or evaluation of patency of previous revascularization. Stepwise graded supine bicycle exercise was performed with simultaneous ECG recording and echocardiography after full conventional resting echocardiography. The FST was defined as newly developed >1 mm ST depression without RWMA during exercise. Results: The median age of the study participants was 65 (59.0–70.5) years, and 222 (37%) patients were women. Among them, 103 (17%) patients showed FST during the exercise or recovery phase. The prevalence of FST did not differ between sexes. Older age, higher pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP), left atrial volume index, baPWV and ankle brachial index at rest and hypertensive response, higher heart rate and rate-pressure product at peak exercise were significantly associated with FST. In multivariate analysis, higher peak heart rate, PASP, and baPWV were independently related to FST. Conclusions: Stress-induced RWMA in addition to ECG should be evaluated to detect CAD in patients with higher baPWV and PASP. FST might be linked to subclinical myocardial ischemia through arterial stiffness and diastolic dysfunction.
