RISKS OF THE BANKING SYSTEM OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF MARTIAL LAW
Authors: Zabchuk Halyna , Ivashchuk Olha
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The peculiarities of the manifestations of credit, market and currency risks, liquidity risks and risks of "state failure" for the functioning of the banking system of Ukraine in the conditions of martial law were examined the article. Recommendations are offered for minimizing existing risks and restoring the functionality of the banking system in the context of performing financial intermediation functions. Methods. Traditional methods of scientific knowledge were used in the article. In particular, methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as a graphic method for visualization and comparison of trends of certain indicators, were used to study the main trends of the risks of banking activity under martial law. Methods of generalization and abstraction were used to formulate recommendations for minimizing banking risks during martial law. Results. In the course of the study, it was proved that the credit risk in the conditions of martial law is minimal for the banking system of Ukraine, because as a result of ineffective monetary policy, the credit burden on the national economy is minimal and insufficient for its recovery. The negative impact of currency and market risks on the functioning of the banking system of Ukraine is substantiated. It is proved that due to the use of the monetary regime of inflation targeting, the banking system of Ukraine has lost the ability to implement the investment function and the functions of financial intermediation in general. Disscussion. As a result of the state of war and the negative expectations of economic agents, the short-term deposit base of banks will increase, and the volume of deposits will decrease, which may lead to a liquidity crisis in the banking system, however, the uninterrupted functioning of the banking system of Ukraine in terms of settlement and cash services will be preserved due to the high level of concentration of capital and banking assets owned by the state. In order to minimize the negative impact of banking risks, the NBU should resort to the use of mechanisms for targeted cheap long-term refinancing of banks under specific economic development programs, which will allow restoring the intermediary functions of the banking system. Keywords: credit risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, market risk, “state failure” risk, refinancing, lending, monetary policy.

Resumo: O artigo objetiva investigar como os programas de Formação Continuada de Professores (FCP) dos anos iniciais em Ciências da Natureza (CN) vêm sendo realizados e apresentados em produções científicas entre os anos 2010 e 2020. Os dados descritos nesta pesquisa consideram 24 artigos científicos selecionados tomando como base a Cienciometria para analisá-los. No processo de busca, foram utilizados seis descritores e encontrados 876.847 artigos, porém, apenas 24 atenderam ao objetivo do estudo. De maneira geral, pôde-se observar a diversidade de formadores e instituições, sejam nacionais e internacionais, que realizam programas de FCP dos anos iniciais em CN. Dentre eles, a Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro/Brasil desenvolveu duas FCP, e em apenas um, foi observado o processo formativo oferecido por outra instituição sem vínculo com a universidade. A maior publicação de artigos científicos foi no ano de 2013, através de duas publicações nacionais e três internacionais. O país que mais publicou foi o Brasil, com destaque para a região Sudeste. Dentre os cursos, três ocorreram durante 36 meses, 14 focaram no ensino de CN, no mesmo programa formativo, através de atividades teóricas e práticas. A maior parte dos cursos (15) foi desenvolvida na escola participante, porém não houve acompanhamento por parte dos pesquisadores após a realização das formações. Por fim, são escassas as pesquisas científicas nacionais e internacionais sobre FCP nos anos iniciais em CN. Além do desenvolvimento desses cursos de formação, também é necessária a publicação de métodos e etapas comportamentais para orientar os futuros pesquisadores interessados em implantar esses cursos.

Objective:  The objective of the current study was to compare the clinical outcomes of a micro-endoscopic discectomy with an open discectomy.

Materials & Methods:  This Quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Alrazi Healthcare, Lahore, and Ammar Medical Complex, Lahore. The sample consisted of 40 patients with lower back pain with radiation to the lower limbs. A lumbar disc single-segment hernia was diagnosed based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Independent sample t-test was used to explore the difference in outcomes and level of pain between group A and group B. Chi-square test was used to compare the recovery rate of patients in both groups.

Results:  A significant difference between the two groups in terms of surgery duration (t = 15.977, P = .000), blood loss during surgery (t = -10.256, P = .000), length of incision (t = -58.355, P = .000), and hospital stay after surgery (t = -4.687, P = .000) was found. The overall recovery rate for the micro-endoscopic Discectomy group was 95% whereas, in the open discectomy group, it was 90%.

Conclusion:  Micro-endoscopic discectomy is superior to open discectomy in terms of lesser surgical trauma, lesser blood loss, lesser hospital stay, earlier return to work, and higher pain resolution.

Objective:  To assess the post-operative status of Facial Nerve in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesion via retro-sigmoid approach and also its complications and outcome.

Materials & Methods:  This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery, JPMC Karachi from a period of 10-12-2021 to 10-06-2022.The sample size of our study was 37 patients. All the patients were operated for CPA lesions and followed for three months to assess the outcome efficacy.

Results:  Our study showed that the mean age was 37 years, with a range of 27 to 65 years, in which the males were 18 (48.6%) and the females were 19 (51.4%). Out of 37 patients, 28 (75.7%) were diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma, while 6 (16.2%) were meningiomas, and 3 (8.1%) were epidermoid cysts. Gross total resection was performed in 14 (37.8%) patients, while subtotal resection (STR) in 23 (62.2%). Facial nerve function in terms of House-Brackmann at 3 months was found to be grade I in 26 (70.3%), grade II in 9 (24.3%), grade III in 1 (2.7%), and grade IV in 1 (2.7%).

Conclusion:  The CPA is a small corridor through which important neurovascular structures pass. Identification of CN VII is important in large CPA tumours to preserve facial motor nerve function.  For all kinds of CPA lesions, gross total excision should be the aim of surgery.

Published: December 2022

Background:  Cervical spine stenosis is one of the most common degenerative changes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and results in severe dysfunction of the cervical spinal cord. The conventional treatment of such degenerative cervical spine conditions is anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Strut graft remains the gold standard in ACDF with excellent patient recovery but has many shortcomings. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages have recently become popular as a replacement for strut grafts in patients undergoing ACDF.

Objective:  This study was carried out to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of autologous bone grafts versus PEEK cages in patients undergoing ACDF surgery.

Materials and Methods:  It was a randomized controlled trial conducted at the Neurosurgery Department Punjab Institute of Neurosciences for three years. Patients who consented to be a part of this study and fulfilled our predefined inclusion criteria were recruited and randomized into 2 groups. One group underwent ACDF with auto bone graft whereas the other group underwent ACDF with PEEK cage.

Results:  A total of 198 subjects were included in this study. The mean age was calculated as 47.60 ± 9.17 years in the PEEK cage group and 46.74 ± 8.87 years in the Autologous bone graft group. Males accounted for 59.6% of the study population.  The fusion rate was found to be higher in the PEEK cage group with a p-value of 0.002.

Conclusion:  PEEK cages are superior to strut grafts as they have lesser morbidity after ACDF surgery in patients with CSM.

After 1.5 years, they were assessed in real-time on actual patients under the direct supervision of a qualified neurosurgeon. The assessment was done on DOPS (Directly Observed Procedural Skills) Performa.

Results:  The results showed that there was a gradual upward learning curve in simulator-based procedures from negative marking to 70% in basic surgical skills and 60% in advanced procedures on average for all the residents whereas the DOPS showed that all residents performed above expectation i.e., 4 or above.

Conclusion:  Neurostimulator-based postgraduate training program is opening new horizons for the safe and skillful training of residents. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, its use in training programs will lead to structured and systematic training patterns in the world of neurosurgery.
일방적 지지에서 상호 동반자 관계로의 변천
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Popular Music, Lee Wonseok
Published: December 2022

Over twenty-five years have elapsed since Korean popular music (K-pop) has become popular outside South Korea. As it has become a global cultural phenomenon, the way K-pop fans support K-pop has also changed. K-pop fans unilaterally supported their music in the 1990s. However, K-pop fandom today forms a mutually inspired and admiring partnership with their favorite stars. This paper examines the evolution of K-pop fandom from the 1990s to the present by focusing on how it transforms from an example of a para-social interaction as proposed by Horton and Wohl to an example of Partha Chatterjee’s civil society. Furthermore, the author suggests that K-pop fandom today can be understood as an example of what Michael Warner refers to as a public.

Published: December 2022

“Worldwide Smart Food Industry to 2027 — Integrated Applications Play A Key Role in the Smart Farming Ecosystem”, headline used by Research and Markets on the 3rd of May 2022, enlightens the readers about the analysis of the food ecosystem and the role of technologies in lowering costs, increasing revenues, and optimizing overall value throughout the ecosystem. International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (2020) reported that millets, sorghum, and grain legumes are incredibly nutrient-dense, climate-smart crops that give smallholder farmers the chance to make a decent livelihood. Future smart food (FSF) refers to neglected and underutilized species which are nutritionally rich, climate resilient, economically viable, and regionally adaptive (Li & Siddique, 2018). In the face of climate change and water scarcity, it is critical to equip the agriculture sector with climate-resilient approaches and crops that can withstand more stressful environments in order to maintain food production, meet increasing demand, combat nutrition and health issues, and construct a sustainable livelihood for farmers (Kane-Potaka & Kumar, 2019).

Published: December 2022

The spreading of infectious diseases caused by the emergence of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) pathogens is a global threat that has led to numerous deaths annually. In view of this, there is an overwhelming need to discover new bioactive compounds with effective antimicrobial properties. Concurrently, the genus Streptomyces has a growing reputation as a potential biological source of various antibiotics and other bioactive metabolites. Streptomyces sp. has been isolated from different sources, including terrestrial and marine habitats with a myriad of promising compounds that could be used to treat MDR pathogens. Therefore, this study presents a systematic review of the antibacterial activities of Streptomyces-derived secondary metabolites. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and checklist were employed in this studyto collect relevant articles from two research databases, namely PubMed and Science Direct. The selection process includes identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion of articles. Several keywords and criteria were established for the screening and selection process. Based on the results, a total of 26 articles were selected from 70 potential articles. The articles were published between 2015 and 2020 with most studies being published in 2020, indicating an increased interest in Streptomyces and its derived compounds. Approximately 51 different PMMB 2022, 5, 1; a0000281 2 of 25 Streptomyces-derived compounds have been identified, ranging from crude extracts, pure compounds, and partially purified compounds. Various parameters were also used to assess their antibacterial activities, particularly the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) (69%) and the zone of inhibition (11%). Moreover, the antibacterial activities of these compounds were effective on numerous gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, 46% and 54% of the selected studies were focused on inhibiting MDR and nonMDR pathogens, respectively. In conclusion, both crude and purified compounds from Streptomyces sp. exhibited strong antibacterial effects. It is expected that extensive future research would develop a standard method to compare the antibacterial strength of eachextracted compound from Streptomyces sp. and determine the most effective bioactive compounds to treat diseases caused by MDR pathogens.
COVID-19: Understanding the New Variants of Concern
Authors: Loo Ke-Yan , Letchumanan Vengadesh
Published: December 2022

The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, part of the Coronaviridae family, was discovered in December 2019 in China. World Health Organization named it COVID-19 and by March 2020, it had spread worldwide, causing a global pandemic. Despite continuous efforts to prevent the spread of the virus, the virus seemed always to be a step ahead of humankind as it rapidly evolved to produce new variants. These variants have higher transmissibility than the original virus and were responsible for new waves of infections. The first variant was Alpha, followed by the discovery of Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, being the latest variant of concern. Although vaccines were distributed worldwide to reduce the severity of the disease when infected with SARS-CoV-2, the emergence of new variants raised doubts about the efficacy of the available vaccines. Studies showed a decrease in neutralizing antibodies during infection with XBB and BQ subvariants compared to infections caused by other variants. Fortunately, early evidence shows that the mRNA vaccines are still effective against the current circulating Omicron sublineages of the coronavirus. Nevertheless, continuous genomic surveillance of the coronavirus is still important to detect any new variants of concern to assess their potential to threaten public health. The efficacy of vaccines and treatment options available against the latest circulating variant of SARS-CoV-2 should also be periodically evaluated. This ensures that the treatment and vaccines used are safe and effective against the virus to protect the public from another health crisis.

Authors: - Parul Anand , - Bhupesh R. Patel
Published: December 2022

Haritaki is the herb that has been used since ancient times as a long-time staple of the Ayurvedic practice. It is often called as King of Medicine. Haritaki is traditionally used as a remedy for all Vata disturbances, including constipation, emaciation, flatulence and indigestion. While Haritaki is so well known for its rasayana property, it is actually Tridosha shamaka, as it helps bring balance to all three Doshas. As a natural laxative and purgative, it removes undigested food and accumulated toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. It strengthens and nourishes the tissues and supports proper function of the colon, lungs, liver and spleen. Haritaki is highly revered in India, as it is believed to increase energy, intelligence and awareness. A narrative review was done in order to explore the properties of haritaki from the Ayurvedic texts. The review revealed that not only haritaki can be used with the mentioned additives (anupana), but many other combinations can be made for different diseased conditions. The review also includes the uses of haritaki in wide range of diseases as per the clinical experiences of the author.

Microfinance refers to a variety of financial services that target low-income clients particularly women since the clients of microfinance companies (MFCs) have lower incomes and often have limited access to other financial services, microfinance products tend to be for smaller monetary amount than traditional financial services. These services include loans, savings, insurance and remittance. Microfinance loans are given for variety of purposes frequently for microenterprise development. This also reflects in diversity of products and services offered. Because of varied needs and because of the industry’s focus on the poor, microfinance often use nontraditional methodologies such as group lending or other forms of collateral securities not employed by the formal financial sector.

For an easy comprehension of this extensive topic, the paper is divided into minor segments such as an Introduction and Scope of Feminist school of Criminology, Emergence of the study in an historical perspective, Theoretical Framework, Methodological Framework, Contributions of the school to the Criminal Justice System, the subject as a Scholarly Discourse, Global perspective of the study, Current day concerns drawn by the Feminist Criminological School and Conclusion. Society in a general run of things has invariably associated Women with passive connotations since time immemorial. Women are often seen as nurturers, mothers, care takers, teachers, homemakers and fragile in nature. Owing to the fact that these stigmatized attributes of women are competently amalgamated in the society, it becomes inordinately onerous for the society to accept the existence of the nature in women who are involved with violent crimes and its studies. These women, in numerous instances are seen as an abnormal women and unladylike or less womanly. Attributable to which, the women were customarily kept out and/or paid no attention to in the criminological studies for the few initial decades even after the its emergence and expansion. The Feministic Approach in Criminological Studies is said to be born and evolved with an intent to draw attention to and spot light the concerns correlated with the communication and representation of difficulties faced by women in field of criminological studies, both as a subjects in the study and as the scholars of the field.

A Review of Properties of Bituminous Mix Containing Bitumen Modified with Cigarette Buds, Steel Slag, and Granite Powder
Authors: - Anshul Kulkarni , - Tarun Kumar Narnaure
Published: December 2022

Researchers have been focusing on a potential and stable solution for the top-notch environmental issue of pollution by imperishable waste products such as Cigarette Buds (CB), Steel Slag (SS) and Granite Powder (GP). The recycling of cigarette buds is not possible due to throwing away in the random manner. Cigarette buds are harmful for the environment because it consists of cellulose acetate fibers, burnt tobacco and tar in addition to multiple toxic chemicals. Depending upon the geographic and environmental conditions, it takes a large amount of time to biodegrade this waste which eventually contaminate the environment if left unattended. Therefore, CB could be utilized as a potential replacement of bitumen. On the other hand, natural resources such as aggregates and fillers form the important constituents of bituminous mix. Due to the significant industrial development, waste deposits (SS and GP) have increased in recent years. SS is metallurgical and waste material of steel industry & GP is a waste material of granite polishing industry, when used as a partial replacement of natural aggregate and lime respectively gives satisfactory results. Therefore, partial replacement of these elements with SS and GP respectively, would be a great solution towards the reduction of environmental impacts of road construction. In this study, a detailed review of different properties of modified bitumen and resulting mix containing CB, SS and GP has been presented. The properties of bituminous mix considered for review are density, penetration, softening point, viscosity, Marshall test parameters, rutting, indirect tensile strength, and modulus of rupture.

Children are a mandate from God Almighty, who are endowed with dignity and cannot be separated from the fulfillment of Human Rights (HAM). The right to optimal health for the community certainly applies similarly to a child, especially considering that children have an immature and immature immune system like adults. Not all children can be born with the healthy condition they should be. Lots of children are born in unhealthy conditions, namely those who experience disabilities both physically, socially, as well as mentally and intellectually. In addition to children who are born with disabilities, it is often found that children who are born normal but in the dynamics of their lives encounter obstacles or disturbances that cause them to become disabled. The condition of these disabled children by experts is referred to as Children with special needs, one of which is Down syndrome. The majority of children with Down syndrome do not get enough attention. This makes Down syndrome increasingly left behind by other normal children. Health workers should implement welfare for all children. Health becomes a quality service so that there are no gaps in it. This is in line with the school of philosophy which expects changes in the implementation of services to be better, of better quality and to provide optimal health. This study uses library research methods (library research). Library research is research conducted using literature (library), in the form of books, notes, or other reference sources.
