Analysis of economic welfare of the population basedon the purchasing power of the Russian ruble
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Kosmin Anatoly D. , Kuznetsov Vladimir V. ,   Omsk State Technical University
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The article is relevant because an adequate assessment of purchasing power allows us to better understand the state of the economy, inflation, and the population’s living standards. For companies and individual entrepreneurs, knowledge of the ruble’s purchasing power helps plan prices, costs, and income.

The article aims to assess the ruble’s purchasing power as a tool for analyzing and forecasting economic processes.

Materials and methods. Publications in university journals, dissertations, and peer-reviewed articles on purchasing power, inflation, and economic indicators. Official statistical data: Data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), the Central Bank of Russia.

Research findings. According to experts, actual inflation for 2021 in Russia exceeded 25% (and food inflation exceeded 42%). There is every reason to believe that the official inflation rate is only a part of the whole, the actual inflation rate, which is a posteriori for the mass consumer and causes intuitive doubt about its reliability, since the actual situation in the market of consumer goods and services, well, in no way corresponds to the data of ‘collusive statistics’.

Conclusion. Whether the inflation rate is calculated correctly or incorrectly by the statistical agency (and the purchasing power index of Russian citizens’ money is not calculated at all), it actually converts into a decrease in the real income of the population and an increase in the scale of the poor population.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. Analysis of signs of economic insolvency of legal entities is relevant and related to the need to detect financial problems at early stages, reduce risks, improve strategic management, and support the bankruptcy procedure of entrepreneurs.

The article aims to analyze the signs of economic insolvency of legal entities in the entrepreneurial environment.

Materials and methods. The materials used were articles from peer-reviewed periodicals and regulatory and legal documentation on bankruptcy and financial crises.

Results of the study. Impossibility of an insolvent legal entity to continue its activity is manifested in the fact that it has no possibility of restoring solvency, and it cannot typically conduct financial and economic activity. Vital signs of legal insolvency (bankruptcy) are insolvency and non-payment.

Conclusion. We consider development of more effective mechanisms for predicting bankruptcy to be a promising direction for further research. It is also essential to identify key financial and non-financial indicators, based on which it is possible to detect signs of possible bankruptcy in advance.
A Hybrid Approach to Intelligent Prediction of Medical Conditions A Framework for Advancing Medical Diagnostics through Novel Hybrid Deep Learning Models DenCeption and HyBoost for Enhanced Feature Extraction and Predictive Accuracy in Medical Image Analysis
Authors:   , Loukil Zainab
Published: February 2025

Medical image analysis is currently challenged by the need to achieve precision in diagnostic methods while maintaining broad applicability across diverse datasets. This challenge is intensified by the intricate details present in high-dimensional medical imaging data, affecting diagnostic effectiveness and patient care. Precise feature extraction is crucial in identifying patterns vital for medical diagnoses, yet current models often struggle with real-world variability, including diverse imaging conditions and patient demographics. This research advances the field by introducing a novel hybrid feature extraction framework, DenCeption, and a predictive model, HyBoost, which address these challenges through improved disease prediction accuracy, generalisability and adaptability. DenCeption, combining DenseNet-169 and Inception-V4 architectures, achieved a notable accuracy of 91.3%, surpassing existing models like DenseNet-121 (89.3%) on the BRATS MRI dataset, demonstrating its superior feature extraction capabilities. The hybrid feature extraction framework also proved adaptable across multiple datasets, including MRI and Retinal images, with accuracy reaching 98.9% in the Retinal dataset, significantly outperforming traditional methods. HyBoost, integrating multiple machine learning algorithms and leveraging patient demographic and physiological data, further enhances predictive accuracy. For instance, on the OCT dataset, HyBoost achieved an accuracy of 98.33%, with a sensitivity of 99.45%, outperforming existing models like XGBoost and AdaBoost. These improvements are supported by extensive testing across various datasets, Fundus, OCT, and X-ray, where HyBoost consistently demonstrated superior performance metrics, including low mean absolute error and high precision. Moreover, a new evaluation mechanism, involving a sophisticated performance measurement matrix (PMM), systematically selects the most optimal evaluation metrics, ensuring the robustness and clinical applicability of the models. This mechanism addresses the limitations of existing evaluation approaches, further enhancing the interpretability and reliability of the developed models. This research represents a significant advancement in medical image processing, setting new benchmarks in predictive medical imaging analytics. By systematically improving model performance and integrating advanced machine learning and deep learning applications, this work revolutionises medical diagnostics, achieving high accuracy rates and robust disease prediction across multiple imaging modalities.

Can Elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET) with AI Integration Become the Future of IVF?
Authors: Shoham Zeev
Published: February 2025

This manuscript examines whether elective single embryo transfer (eSET) should be mandated in all IVF cycles, assessing its clinical benefits, challenges, and global implementation. Evidence shows that eSET significantly reduces multiple pregnancies and associated complications while maintaining cumulative live birth rates. However, ethical, regulatory, and practical considerations complicate universal enforcement. While a standardized eSET policy offers advantages, potential drawbacks include restricted patient autonomy and the need for additional IVF cycles in some instances. To navigate these complexities, the manuscript advocates for a balanced approach: promoting eSET as the preferred standard while allowing individualized decisions based on patient-specific factors. Alternative policy models—such as partial mandates or incentive-based strategies—are explored to enhance outcomes without imposing rigid requirements. This nuanced perspective balances patient safety, treatment efficacy, and shared decision-making in fertility care.

O aumento da pressão intraocular (PIO), associado a sintomas como dor ocular, hiperemia e diminuição da acuidade visual, são sinais frequentemente observados em patologias oftalmológicas que podem levar a danos permanentes à visão se não diagnosticadas e tratadas adequadamente. Este estudo apresenta dois casos clínicos de pacientes com sintomas semelhantes, mas que, após avaliação oftalmológica detalhada, foram diagnosticados com patologias distintas: glaucoma agudo por fechamento angular e Síndrome de Posner-Schlossman (SPS). O primeiro paciente foi diagnosticado com glaucoma agudo, caracterizado por aumento súbito da PIO, dor intensa e visão turva, exigindo tratamento imediato para evitar danos ao nervo óptico. O segundo paciente foi diagnosticado com SPS, uma condição rara que também causa aumento da PIO, mas com características clínicas diferentes, como episódios intermitentes de hipertensão ocular com menor impacto na acuidade visual. Este relato destaca a importância de um diagnóstico diferencial preciso para direcionar o tratamento adequado, prevenindo complicações graves e promovendo um prognóstico visual favorável. A correta identificação entre essas condições é fundamental para a escolha terapêutica e a preservação da saúde ocular dos pacientes.

Authors: Ram Meetha , Nizamani Bakhtawar , Fateh Muhammad Aazadi
Published: February 2025

The movement of people from rural areas towards urban units is understood as rural-to-urban migration. Women empowerment is the process that leads women to ownership of resources, improves their ability to control their lives and families, and allows them to make decisions to develop new strategies in life. The rural-to-urban migration in Pakistan changes the socioeconomic status of women through their engagements in formal job markets and increases earning sources through paid or professional work. In the Philippines, the economic driver is one of the primary and dominant forces for rural-to-urban migration. This study aimed to assess the impacts of migration on women’s socio-economic status. Also, it focused on exploring migration trends and women’s engagement in the labour market after migration in both countries.

Published: February 2025

Diaphanous-related formin 3 (DIAPH3) is a pivotal member of the formin family and serves as a crucial regulator of actin filament assembly. As such, DIAPH3 plays an integral role in a variety of cellular processes including cytokinesis, cell migration, and intracellular transport. Given its fundamental importance in maintaining cytoskeletal dynamics, DIAPH3 is functionally associated with numerous physiological and pathological conditions, particularly cancer. In this review, we explore the structural and functional characteristics of DIAPH3 and investigate its mutational and transcriptional landscape in human cancers. By focusing on DIAPH3's role in controlling metastasis and tumor microenvironment, we aim to provide new insights into how DIAPH3 contributes to tumor development and progression. Altogether, we believe that an enhanced understanding of the DIAPH3 signalosome will facilitate more precise clinical decision-making and the development of novel therapeutics against aggressive cancers.

A doença de Alzheimer é uma demência neurodegenerativa. Trata-se de uma das causas mais frequentes de demência, sendo mais prevalente em idosos acima de 65 anos. Por não haver cura, faz-se necessário métodos que auxiliam na melhora da qualidade de vida dos pacientes, visto que a faixa etária atingida por tal doença vem crescendo significativamente no mundo. Um desses métodos inclui a musicoterapia, parte da medicina complementar e integrativa. Essa técnica consiste no uso da música aplicada em sessões terapêuticas com a finalidade de estimular a melhora do quadro clínico do paciente. Esse artigo tem como objetivo compreender a utilização da musicoterapia como forma de evocação da memória e ativação de processos cognitivos, funcionais e sociais, expondo seus benefícios em pacientes portadores da doença de Alzheimer. Justifica-se pelo aumento da expectativa de vida nos últimos anos e consequente aumento da incidência das doenças demenciais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, de abordagem revisional sobre o tema. Para isso foram utilizados artigos científicos que abordaram pressupostos cognitivos, fisiológicos, sociais e culturais. Conclui-se que o uso da musicoterapia como tratamento complementar para a doença de Alzheimer é eficaz, trazendo ao paciente uma melhor qualidade de vida.

A amamentação é uma prática milenar com reconhecidos benefícios nutricionais, imunológicos, cognitivos, econômicos e sociais. Tais benefícios são aproveitados em sua plenitude quando a amamentação é praticada por pelo menos 2 anos, sendo oferecida como forma exclusiva de alimentação do lactente até o sexto mês de vida. Cerca de 1,5 milhão de crianças ainda morrem a cada dia porque são inapropriadamente alimentadas. Menos de 35% das crianças do mundo são exclusivamente alimentadas ao seio pelos primeiros quatro meses de vida e as práticas de alimentação complementar são frequentemente inapropriadas e perigosas. O presente artigo busca realizar uma revisão das literaturas científicas a respeito da Importância do Aleitamento Materno em Relação ao Desenvolvimento das Doenças Prevalentes até os 2 anos, destacando, avaliando e discutindo os aspectos relacionados ao processo de aleitamento, seus benefícios, as características do leite materno, assim como a importância do mesmo e sua relação com o desenvolvimento das doenças prevalentes na faixa etária avaliada, analisando ainda a situação de tais pontos em 3 Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família do município de Volta Redonda, utilizando estudos científicos dos bancos de dados da BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), SciELO (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) e Google Acadêmico. Levando em consideração as informações obtidas na literatura científica avaliada, o aleitamento materno é um processo extremamente importante para o desenvolvimento infantil adequado e saudável, devendo ser realizado, idealmente, de forma exclusiva até os 6 meses de idade, e de forma complementar até pelo menos os dois anos completos. O presente trabalho conclui, portanto, que as doenças mais prevalentes nos lactentes apresentam menos chance de desenvolvimento naquelas crianças que recebem aleitamento materno exclusivo.
Análise do conhecimento dos estudantes de medicina do módulo V 2017.1 do UniFOA a respeito das manifestações extraintestinais nas Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais

As Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais correspondem à Doença de Crohn e à Retocolite Ulcerativa Idiopática, que são patologias crônicas caracterizadas pela inflamação da mucosa do intestino. Elas diminuem a qualidade de vida do paciente ao causar sintomas como diarreia e cólicas abdominais. Além dos sintomas clássicos, as doenças em questão podem apresentar manifestações extraintestinais. Dentre essas, algumas principais incluem as articulares, as dermatológicas, as hepatobiliares e as oftalmológicas. Tais manifestações extraintestinais apresentam prevalência significativa no Brasil e no mundo, podendo aparecer antes, durante ou depois das manifestações intestinais, sendo que sua ocorrência advém de diversos fatores, como histórico familiar, faixa etária e sexo. O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar se o conhecimento passado no UniFOA aos estudantes de medicina do módulo V é suficiente para detectar e lidar com o paciente portador de manifestações extraintestinais nas Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais. Justifica-se pela relevância de que é necessário um amplo conhecimento médico sobre as manifestações extraintestinais nas Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais, já que os sintomas e sinais podem se assemelhar a patologias sem relação com as Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais, o que as torna de difícil diagnóstico. Além disso, o aumento dos casos de Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais que é destacado pela comunidade científica em vários países tem como consequência o aumento dos casos de suas manifestações extraintestinais. Trata-se de um trabalho de campo, realizado a partir de um questionário relacionado a um caso clínico sobre o tema do trabalho que será entregue aos estudantes do UniFOA do módulo V. Trata-se de uma pesquisa em andamento sem dados conclusivos até o presente momento.
Consumo de Sódio e Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica em População Urbana

A hipertensão arterial foi estabelecida mundialmente como um problema de saúde pública por sua magnitude, risco e dificuldades em seu controle. O aumento da ingestão de sal tem probabilidade elevada de aumentar a pressão arterial. A Organização Mundial da Saúde recomenda que o consumo individual diário de sódio não ultrapasse 2,4g (ou 6g de sal), mas segundo o Ministério da Saúde (2004), brasileiros consomem em média o dobro dessa quantidade. Apesar disso, poucos esforços em termos de saúde pública têm sido feitos no Brasil para a redução do consumo dessa substância. Diante dessas informações citadas iremos colher informações sobre os efeitos deletérios do sal na saúde, em especial na gênese da hipertensão arterial, e, se possível, conhecer as principais formas de redução no consumo dessa substância. Inicialmente as pesquisas serão direcionadas apenas assuntos relacionados ao consumo de sódio e hipertensão em centros urbanos, posteriormente a busca será refinada aos possíveis problemas gerados socialmente e economicamente. Para a realização do projeto, serão utilizadas obras de diversos autores relacionadas ao tema escolhido a partir da busca de informações artigos científicos colhidos na Biblioteca Virtual PubMed-Medline, e Scielo e capítulos de livros sobre o assusto disponíveis na biblioteca do UniFOA. A revisão bibliográfica realizada para esta pesquisa revelou que os níveis de pressão sistólica e diastólica estão associados de forma exponencial com o risco para o desenvolvimento de doença coronariana, cerebrovascular, entre outras e por isso é tão importante o tratamento de tal morbidade, sendo que a origem da doença pode estar vinculada à fatores genéticos e ambientais, como o consumo excessivo de sódio. Estudos também demonstraram que a PA sistólica pode ser reduzida em boa porcentagem pela redução de sódio (2-8 mmHg) e também com a perda de peso (5-20 mmHg/ 10kg perdidos). Pesquisa feita com uma amostra randomizada de população urbana miscigenada foi observado que a ingestão de sal é fortemente influenciada pelo nível socioeconômico e pode parcialmente explicar a alta prevalência de hipertensão arterial nas classes econômicas mais baixas. A partir da realização do trabalho conseguimos constatar uma pequena parcela da relação do consumo de sódio e hipertensão arterial sistêmica e também analisamos os elevados custos para o SUS e para o sistema de saúde mundial da HAS, devido a gastos com medicamentos anti-hipertensivos e, em sua maioria, com assistência médica para pacientes que sofreram por AVC.
