ЕКСПЛАНАЦІЙНІ МОЖЛИВОСТІ ТЕОРІЇ КОНСТРУКТИВІЗМУ В УМОВАХ ЗРОСТАННЯ НЕЛІНІЙНОСТІ СВІТОВОЇ СИСТЕМИ
Authors: Ishchenko Ihor , Bashkeieva Olena
Published: January 2022

Автори досліджують конструктивізм з позиції його експланації процесів, що відбуваються у відносинах між країнами і з’ясовують можливості його практичного застосування у зовнішніх відносинах, зокрема України. Головною метою дослідження є: виявлення дійсних і потенційних можливостей теорії конструктивізму з інтерпретації змістовної динаміки сучасної міжнародної системи і відносин між її суб’єктами. Застосування класичних філософських і постнекласичних методів: діалектичного, структурно-системного та методологічні установки конструктивізму були використані у дослідженні проблеми. Новизна роботи в розкритті дослідницького потенціалу конструктивізму на сучасному етапі в добу поєднання кризових конфліктогенних чинників функціонування світової системи. На основі структурних елементів теорії конструктивізму – ідентичності, інтересів, ідей та дій стаття розкриває методологію побудови зовнішньополітичних рішень, на прикладі США, а також в реаліях України. Національна стратегія енергетичної безпеки потребує гнучкого реагування на нові виклики з позиції конструктивізму. Висновки вказують на умову, за якої інтерес може виникнути. Це можливо тоді, коли позиціонування країни та її образ конгруентні, до того ж, вони привабливі для зарубіжного партнера. Мистецтво дипломатії полягає в тому, щоб сформувати потрібний для міжнародних відносин образ, в якому позиціонування та інтереси гармонічно поєднані. Отже, з позиції конструктивізму ми можемо створити нову реальність, якщо переконаємо світову спільноту у своїй привабливості і заручимося підтримкою міжнародного співтовариства.

A STUDY ON THE ENTRY LEVEL OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF 1ST AND 2ND YEAR STUDENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR FITNESS TRAINING IN UNIVERSITY OF NATIONAL AND WORLD ECONOMY (UNWE)
Authors: Tosheva E. , Shishkov M.
Published: January 2022

The article presents results that are part of a larger scientific study aimed at identifying changes in the physical development and skills of female students practicing fitness during their education at UNWE. The purpose of the specific scientific research is to determine the entry level of physical development of female students at the beginning of their education in the first and second academic years. 100 female students from the fitness groups were surveyed - 50 for each course. The results of the study show that the distribution of data by different indicators is within the same limits, but there are specific results due to prior individual preparation. The methods that were used to solve the research tasks are: anthropometry, dynamometry. Five particular signs having information on the degree of development of the major morphofunctional features were examined. The body mass index was calculated to provide information on the degree of obesity of the student groups studied. The study concludes that the data of female students practising fitness with different internships are similar, which provides general guidance for improving the organization and methodology of training.
A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EATING HABITS AND BODY WEIGHT IN 13-16 YEAR OLD GIRLS
Authors: Dikova P.
Published: January 2022

Nutrition problems in childhood and adolescence can be extremely serious and dangerous to health. In recent years, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education and Science have taken actions which show their concern and desire for solving the problems, but the results of the studies carried out in this regard are still unsatisfactory. According to a WHO survey conducted in 2017, Bulgarian children are among the fattest in the world, occupying the 5th place in the ranking. The published by the Ministry of Health data from a national survey conducted in 2010-2011 on students aged 6-19, showed that 30.2% of adolescents were overweight and 12.7% were obese.
Regular malnutrition or overeating is equally harmful to the growing body. Therefore, the building of rational and healthy eating habits from an early age is among the important components of general education.
This study presents a survey conducted on 239 girls aged 13-16. Their eating habits, body weight and BMI were analyzed. The results on these indicators allow us to draw a summarized picture of the group we examined.

Authors: Radics Péter , Kiss Boldizsár , Kovács Enikő , Pilecky Dávid , Ruzsa Zoltán , Straub Éva , Fejér Csaba , Gellér László , Merkely Béla , Zima Endre
Published: January 2022

Összefoglaló. A landiolol intravénásan alkalmazandó, kifejezetten
cardioselectiv, gyors hatású és rövid felezési idejű béta-1-receptor-blokkoló,
mely elsősorban negatív chronotrop és inotrop hatással bír, vérnyomáscsökkentő
hatása elhanyagolható. Főleg hemodinamikailag instabil állapotú,
supraventricularis ritmuszavarban szenvedő betegek kamrafrekvenciájának
csökkentésére használható. Nagy esetszámú, randomizált vizsgálatok igazolták
hatékonyságát szívműtétek után jelentkező pitvarfibrilláció megelőzésében,
valamint súlyos akut szívelégtelenségben és szívműtétek posztoperatív szakában
jelentkező pitvari tachyarrhythmiák kezelésében. Ezek mellett kisebb vizsgálatok
alapján a használata biztonságosnak tűnik akut myocardialis infarctusban,
hatékony szeptikus állapotú, pitvarfibrillációban szenvedő betegek
kamrafrekvencia- és ritmuskontrolljára, valamint nem cardialis műtétek esetén a
pitvarfibrilláció prevenciójára és kezelésére. Sikerrel alkalmazható elektromos
vihar esetén is, és jól használható angiográfiás coronaria-CT-vizsgálat előtt az
optimális szívfrekvencia elérésére. A gyógyszer 2016 óta Európában, 2018 óta
Magyarországon is elérhető. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(2): 53–62.

Summary. Landiolol is an intravenous, selective beta-1-receptor
blocking agent with rapid onset of action and ultra-short half-life that has a
predominant negative chronotropic and only mild negative inotropic effect
without significant reduction of blood pressure. Landiolol is indicated to
control the ventricular heart rate predominantly in patients with hemodynamic
instability due to supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. Large randomized controlled
trials have proven the efficacy of landiolol in the prevention of atrial
fibrillation and atrial tachyarrhythmias in severe acute heart failure or
post-cardiac surgery. Based on lower case-number studies, the administration of
landiolol has been proven to be efficient and safe in rhythm and rate control in
atrial fibrillation complicating acute myocardial infarction, sepsis, and in the
prevention of atrial fibrillation in non-cardiac surgery. Landiolol may be used
in electrical storm, and even during coronary CT-angiography to achieve an
optimal heart rate for imaging. The drug is available in Europe since 2016 and
in Hungary since 2018. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(2): 53–62.

Aim of the study: To show that the Oasis in Xinjiang of China is facing serious sustainable development challenges due to the climate change and human activities, especially for the drought stress. Material and methods: Linear trend method, also known as linear trend forecasting method and linear fitting, is the most studied and popular quantitative forecasting method so far. Based on the time series data during the observation period, it is assumed that the predicted variables have a linear function relationship with time, and is fitted into a straight line, so that the straight line can reflect the changing trend of the variables themselves, namely, a linear regression model. Results and conclusions: From 1961 to 2016, Aksu Oasis climate in general showed a "warm and wet" trend. From 1991 to 2016, the oasis area continued to expand, and the desert area showed a decreasing trend, and land use changed significantly. The regional water resources have obviously changed, and the average groundwater depth in the oasis area was between 3.55 and 4.35 meters, showing an increasing trend, while the groundwater level was decreasing. Water resources shortage is the most fundamental reason to restrict the expansion of oasis scale. The suitable oasis scale of Aksu Oasis in 1991, 2001 and 2016 is 12611.30, 15949.95 and 16631.59 km2, respectively, but the actual area of the oasis in the three periods is larger.
A Macroprudential Perspective on the Regulatory Boundaries of U.S. Financial Assets
Authors: Arseneau David M. , Brang Grace , Darst Matt , Faber Jacob M. M. , Rappoport David E. , Vardoulakis Alexandros
Published: January 2022

This paper uses data from the Financial Accounts of the United States to map out the regulatory boundaries of assets held by U.S. financial institutions from a macroprudential perspective. We provide a quantitative measure of the regulatory perimeter—the boundary between the part of the financial sector that is subject to some form of prudential regulatory oversight and that which is not—and show how it has evolved over the past forty years. Additionally, we measure the boundaries between different regulatory agencies and financial institutions that operate within the regulatory perimeter and illustrate how these boundaries potentially become blurred in the face of regulatory overlap. Quantifying the regulatory perimeter and the boundaries for macroprudential regulators within the perimeter is informative for assessing financial stability risks over the credit cycle.
Clinicopathological spectrum of small bowel obstruction and management outcomes in adults - experience at a regional academic hospital complex
Authors: Mthethwa MR , Aldous C , Madiba TE
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Delay in operative management of small bowel obstruction (SBO) results in increased morbidity and mortality. The objective was to evaluate clinical presentation and treatment outcome of SBO METHOD: Prospective cohort study between 2013-2014. Adult patients presenting with SBO were included. Demographics, clinical details, investigations, operative findings, in-hospital progress and outcomes were documented RESULTS: There were 156 patients (median age 37 [IQR 27-54 years]) with early (44) and delayed (112) presentation. :F ratio was 1.4:1. Common causes of obstruction were adhesions (94; 60.3%) and hernias (31; 19.9%). Non-operative management was feasible in 59 patients (37.3%) with a success rate of 71.2%. Nonviable bowel was present in 45.1% (early 31%, delayed 50%; p = 0.078). Sixty-one patients (54%) underwent bowel resection; nine patients (20.5%) in the early presentation group and 52 (46.4%) in the delayed group (p = 0.003). Thirty-one patients needed ICU admission (early 5, delayed 26; p = 0.091). The delayed group had longer ICU stay (p = 0.018) and longer hospital stay (p < 0.001). There were more complications (p = 0.084) and re-laparotomies (p = 0.156) in the delayed group. Eight patients died (5.1% CONCLUSION: The main causes of SBO were adhesions and hernias. Late presentation was associated with higher resection rate, higher critical care admission and longer hospital stay Keywords: small bowel obstruction, adhesive bowel obstruction, acute abdomen
The spectrum of abdominal wall desmoid fibromatosis and the outcomes of its surgical treatment
Authors: Bombil I , Ngobese L
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) arises in musculoaponeurotic structures, most commonly the rectus abdominis muscle. It is locally aggressive with no propensity for metastasis. The aim was to describe the spectrum of abdominal wall DF and its surgical treatment and outcome at a tertiary institution METHODS: All abdominal wall DF resected from 2007 to 2019 were retrospectively analysed. The tumours had a full-thickness abdominal wall excision. The defect was reconstructed with biological implants covered by either skin edge undermining or split skin graft. Histological diagnosis was based on characteristic morphological and immunohistochemistry parameters. Parameters analysed were demographics, lesion size, procedure performed and outcomes RESULTS: Eleven female patients with a median age of 29 years (range 21-61) presented with rapid growth over 6-24 months of anterior abdominal wall tumours with a median maximum resected diameter of 163 mm (range 63-200 mm). There was no specific complication related to the abdominal wall reconstruction. With a median follow-up of 5 years (range 1-11 years), all patients displayed an asymptomatic abdominal wall bulge (eventration). One patient has had a small recurrence currently being observed CONCLUSION: Striking features of DF tumours at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH) were their location, rapid growth, female gender and large size. Biological implant without complex plastic surgery techniques result in good outcomes, though the rate of progression of eventration to hernia is unknown Keywords: desmoid fibromatosis, abdominal wall, biological implants

An audit of patients clinically deemed as high risk for malignant breast pathology at the Helen Joseph Hospital Breast Clinic
Authors: Brink H-M , Rubin G , Benn C-A , Lucas S
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The Helen Joseph Hospital Breast Clinic has implemented a clinical triage system for patients presenting with a variety of breast concerns. The goal of this system is to expedite the process from initial presentation to radiological assessment of patients with suspected breast malignancy or breast abscess in a resource limited setting. The objective was to assess the clinical, imaging and histological diagnoses of breast disease in these patients with malignancy and sepsis METHODS: A retrospective audit of patients clinically deemed high risk for malignant breast pathology referred to the breast imaging unit (BIU) in 2018. Patients were triaged based on strict clinical criteria: presence of a breast mass with or without lymph nodes or a breast abscess. Patients that were subsequently referred for mammography/ultrasound were identified using the patient files in the BIU. Results were recorded on Microsoft Excel and analysed using SAS version 9.2 RESULTS: Three hundred and twenty-five patients were included in this study. Eighty-seven (26.8%) were diagnosed with breast cancer and 236 (72.6%) with benign disease. The most common presenting complaint was a palpable mass (n = 227; 69.9%). Ninety-five per cent of patients characterised as BI-RADS 5 had malignant disease. 55.8% of malignancies diagnosed on ultrasound had locally advanced disease. The most common histological diagnosis of malignancy was invasive ductal carcinoma (n = 67, 77%). The most commonly diagnosed benign disease was breast abscess (n = 42, 17.8% CONCLUSION: BI-RADS findings correspond to similar studies, however, a large number of benign breast disease was diagnosed. This may indicate heightened clinical awareness of breast cancer diagnosis and early detection. A significant percentage of malignancies presented as locally advanced. Except for a lower number of invasive lobular carcinoma, the histological spectrum of malignant disease is similar to comparative studies Keywords: malignant breast pathology, high risk patient, Helen Joseph Hospital Breast Clinic
Urethral obstruction from Cobb's collar in association with VACTERL
Authors: Irusen S , Moonsamy G , Dewan P , Adam A
Published: January 2022

SUMMARY Cobb's collar is a rare intraluminal congenital cause of bulbar urethral obstruction that is commonly mislabelled congenital obstructive posterior urethral membrane (COPUM) but may be distinguished from this endoscopically as it has no connecting folds to the verumontanum. In this report, Cobb's collar is described for the first time in association with the VACTERL syndrome. The abnormality was diagnosed and treated by diathermy and dilatation at the time of endoscopic evaluation, with improvement of vesicoureteric reflux on micturating cystourethrogram and renal ultrasound.

Severe gestational gigantomastia: management challenges
Authors: Rooi A , Botha A , Ndobe E , Nel M
Published: January 2022

SUMMARY Gestational gigantomastia is rare and characterised by rapid and disproportionate enlargement of the breast during pregnancy. It often requires surgical removal of more than 1500 g of breast tissue. Of the 50 case reports published worldwide, not one was in South African literature. This unusual case report is of a female presenting with gigantomastia at five weeks gestational age. The patient was multiparous and decided to terminate the pregnancy due to the physical and emotional effects of the large, pendulous breasts. Management included breast reduction and free nipple grafting in a staged approach. The complications are briefly outlined. Despite rare presentation, patient satisfaction was achieved. Keywords: severe gestational gigantomastia, disproportionate enlargement, breast, pregnancy, mastectomy
Sintuigmetaforiek in die Summa Aurea (ca.1220) van Willem van Auxerre (ca.1140-1231)
Authors: Beukes J
Published: January 2022

Hierdie artikel bied 'n ideëhistoriese herwaardering van die sonderlinge vroegskolastiese bydrae van Willem van Auxerre (gelatiniseerd Guilhelmus Altissiodorensis of Autissiodorensis, in Frans Guillaume d'Auxerre; ca.1140-1231) as die skrywer van 'n volledige (vier volumes) skolastiese summa in die teologie, getitel Summa Aurea. Dié werk is voltooi in en gesirkuleer rondom 1220. Die artikel poog om Auxerre binne die navorsingsdomeine van eietydse skolastieknavorsing te posisioneer, ook aan die hand van die mees onlangse nisnavorsing (in die besonder dié van BT Coolman en Magdalena Bieniak) en die naspeuring van die ideëhistoriese ontwikkeling van sintuigmetaforiek (met verwysing na die epistemologiese aansprake van die "geestelike sintuie") uit die patristiek en Vroeë Middeleeue tot in die Hoog- en Laat Middeleeue. Daarby word gepoog om geestelike waarneming as die samehangende en samebindende basisbegrip in die Summa Aurea te belig en as sodanig te kommentarieer. Die artikel ondersoek voorts die moontlike tematiese ooreenkomste tussen Auxerre se leer van die "geestelike sintuie" en Middeleeuse Minnemystik (met besondere verwysing na Hadewijch van Antwerpen [fl.1240] se ervaringsgedrewe epistemologie), waarna die konseptuele raamwerk en die diskursiewe aard van 'n sintuigmetaforiek deeglik ontleed word. Auxerre se wesenlike oogmerk was om aan te dui dat geestelike kennis van God, verwerf deur middel van die "geestelike sintuie", soortgelyk is aan kennis van die materiële werklikheid, verwerf deur middel van die liggaamlike sintuie, waar die "geestelike aansien" of (volgens Augustinus) "verligte visie" van God (visio Dei) en die "hoor" (simphonia), "ruik" (odor, met die uitdruklike semantiese lading van 'herinnering' of 'geheue'), "proe" (dulcedo) en "aanraak" (tactus) van God meewerk tot die verruiming van bestaande teologiese kennis. Ten slotte word Auxerre se hermeneutiek bestempel as 'n hoogs oorspronklike dialektiek van die mundane (in via) en die ewige (in patria).
COVID-19 en dagloners in die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie: Die impak op hul lewens en daaglikse bestaan
Authors: Blaauw D , Yu D , Schenck R
Published: January 2022

Die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie was reeds voor die COVID-19-pandemie in 'n benarde posisie. Dagloners en andere in die informele ekonomie was struktureel selfs meer kwesbaar vir so 'n eksogene skok. Die doel van hierdie oorsigstudie was om die impak van die COVID-19-pandemie op die lewensomstandighede van dagloners op die navorsingsagenda te plaas. 'n Oorsig van tersaaklike elemente uit die enigste nasionaal verteenwoordigende databasis van dagloners, afkomstig vanuit die Blaauw (2010) studie, in Suid-Afrika, was die vertrekpunt. Daarna is die jongste beskikbare navorsingsinligting oor veranderinge in die daglonermark gebruik om die moontlike kort-, medium- en langtermynimpak van die pandemie te bespreek. In 2008 was die dagloners in die Wes-Kaap en Gauteng se loonvlakke hoër as dié van die dagloners in die res van Suid-Afrika. Selfs dagloners in hierdie twee provinsies was steeds kwesbaar met lae en onsekere inkomstevlakke. Sedert 2008 het makro-ekonomiese faktore en 'n derde golf van oorgrensmigrasie 'n verdere verswakking in dagloners se posisie meegebring. Die vraag na hul arbeid het verminder en reële lone het in verskeie stede gedaal. Die COVID-19-pandemie het dagloners op die kort termyn voor hongersnood te staan gebring. Die talle mense wat vanweë die pandemie hul formele werk verloor het of nog gaan verloor sal die daglonermark onder verdere druk plaas. Die minimum loonvlak waarvoor dagloners bereid is om te werk, sal selfs verder daal. In die lang termyn kan duisende van die leerlinge wat hul skoolopleiding te midde van die pandemie staak ook dagloners word, met rampspoedige gevolge vir die maatskaplike bestel in Suid-Afrika.
'n Onwaarskynlike onderneming: 'n Ondersoek na die kritiek op fundamentele pedagogiek
Authors: Yonge G
Published: January 2022

Hierdie artikel begin met 'n kort skets van my professionele oorgang as natuurwetenskaplike na dié van 'n fenomenologiese navorser in Opvoedkunde, aanvanklik in Opvoedkundige Sielkunde, soos geïnspireer deur die fenomenologiese navorsing deur die Fakulteit Opvoedkunde by die Universiteit van Pretoria. Ek was geïnteresseerd toe ek 'n verwoestende kritiek oor hierdie studies gelees het, wat geensins ooreengestem het met my eie begrip van die vakgebied nie. Dit het my gelei om die redes vir hierdie teenstrydighede te ondersoek, wat dan die hoofargument van hierdie artikel is. Die fenomenologiese metode wat in Pretoria gebruik word, word aanvanklik kortliks uiteengesit, veral die belangrikheid van die fenomenologiese reduksie (bracketing) om hierdie vraag te probeer beantwoord. Hierna bied ek my begrip van die fundamentele pedagogiek aan en die aspekte daarvan wat ek verdedig. Dan beskou ek in detail enkele bewerings van Suransky-Dekker (1998) oor die verband tussen Langeveld se pedagogiek en fundamentele pedagogiek in die konteks van apartheidsonderwys. Ten slotte oorweeg ek 'n paar van haar spesifieke aansprake oor fundamentele pedagogiek noukeurig om die moontlikheid aan te toon dat die verskil in die begrip of interpretasie van die betekenis van fundamentele pedagogiek moontlik kan verband hou met die feit dat fenomenologiese reduksie (bracketing) van krag is, al dan nie.
A Review of the role of Nuclear Medicine Imaging in Diagnostic Dentistry
Authors: Singh Sandeepa Rajbaran , Gutta Aadil Abdulaziz
Published: January 2022

The increasing scope of nuclear medicine imaging as a diagnostic utility is impressive. Plain film radiographs, computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostically provide high-quality images but provide little physiological information about disease processes. Nuclear medicine imaging modalities advantageously can characterise the early dynamic physiological changes in a diseased environment. Dental professionals working within the arena of integrated holistic health practices are likely to encounter patients having had procedures like conventional scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), hybrid SPECT/CT and positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT). The aim of this review is to acquaint the oral health care professional with some commonly utilised nuclear medicine techniques, the principles upon which such modalities are based and their applications in the diagnosis of head and neck pathology to facilitate enhanced multidisciplinary patient management.

Bailarinas colgantes, crujir de vértebras. Suicidio femenino y tragedia griega
Authors: Pájaro M Carlos Julio
Published: January 2022

Con base en Maneras trágicas de matar a una mujer, de Nicole Loraux, el presente artículo se propone la presentación de los modos tan disímiles como en una polis griega es pensada la muerte de un hombre y la de una mujer. Se busca mostrar con especial énfasis el modo como la muerte de la mujer es teatralizada en la tragedia griega, género literario considerado aquí como lugar en el que se desvanecen, aunque ambiguamente, las líneas fronterizas entre las dos maneras de morir. De acuerdo con esto, se muestran algunos rasgos de la antropología política en los que la concepción griega antigua sustenta, según el sexo de quien haya de morir, los significados diversos acerca de la muerte en el campo de problemas examinados. Por tanto, no se pretende proponer ni realizar un estudio que sugiera líneas argumentativas a favor de una concepción de lo trágico, ni interpretativas acerca de la esencia de ese genial fruto artístico del espíritu griego.
El episodio de las Sirenas en Argonáuticas de Apolonio de Rodas: enriquecimiento cómico y aspectos metapoéticos
Authors: Llanos Pablo Martín
Published: January 2022

Así como en la Odisea el héroe en su viaje de regreso debe resistir al encanto de las Sirenas, en las Argonáuticas los héroes también deben superarlas en su regreso a la Hélade. Aunque los estudios bibliográficos advierten un cambio de tono entre el modelo homérico y el texto apoloniano (de siniestro a humorístico y erótico), consideramos que no han advertido su importante valor metapoético. Según nuestra lectura, el enfrentamiento entre Orfeo y las Sirenas por medio del canto representa la relación del nuevo poema con la tradición y retoma significados y funciones del episodio odiseico, donde se plantea una clara disputa entre Odisea e Ilíada, como lo demuestra el clásico artículo de Pucci (1979). En este sentido, es importante destacar no solo el tono, sino también la presencia de una dicción cómica en el episodio apoloniano, que representa el carácter no-épico de las Sirenas derrotadas por Orfeo.

La evolución de la medicina en los tiempos actuales ha ido de la mano de la tecnología donde cada vez más se implementan soluciones que apoyan ciertos procedimientos médicos con el objetivo de apoyar el ejercicio de los profesionales de la medicina en su oficio. El procesamiento y análisis de datos se ha convertido en un recurso imprescindible en la práctica de cualquier profesión, actualmente, en los hospitales, más puntualmente en el hospital universitario la samaritana, no se posee una herramienta que permita apoyar el diagnóstico para determinar el suministro o no, de los inhibidores de bombas de protones, por lo tanto hemos desarrollado una aplicación web utilizando un modelo de aprendizaje automático, basado en arboles de decisiones por medio de la aplicación weka, que luego del análisis de los datos recogidos, permita al médico contar con una herramienta para el apoyo de este procedimiento. Esperamos que con la utilización de esta aplicación los médicos puedan realizar un análisis efectivo antes de recetar o no los IBPs.

WORKFLOW FOR THE NUCLEIC ACID BASED IDENTIFICATION OF INSECTS USING WHOLE GENOME AMPLIFICATION AND NANOPORE SEQUENCING - Monarch® v1
Authors: E Frey Jürg
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND World-wide trade with plant material has dramatically increased over the past decades, and with it has the risk for accidental introduction of potential plant pests and diseases. Rapid and accurate nucleic acid based identification of such quarantine organisms has become an important tool to minimize their dispersal. Nucleic acid based identification exploits genetic diversity. A basic tenet holds that species generally do not interbreed and hence, the level of genetic differentiation within species is generally lower than between species. For insects, this pattern of genetic diversity is being used by DNA barcoding with great success. An approximately 600 base pairs long fragment in the first half of the mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase I gene (COI) is used as a reference sequence to identify insects at the species level. So far, reference sequences for ca. 231’000 different insect species are deposited on the publicly available “Barcoding for Life Database” BOLD (http://www.barcodinglife.org/; by June 2021). Another important database especially targeting phytosanitary purposes with DNA barcodes of vouchered reference specimen is the EPPO Q-Bank (European Plant Protection Organization, https://qbank.eppo.int/). The methodology of DNA barcoding generally relies on PCR amplification of the diagnostic COI gene fragment using a pair of primers for which the exact DNA sequence must be known. However, this information is not always available, for example in the case of so far undescribed species or in cases, where genetic variation within species affected primer sites. Furthermore, although the COI marker sequence shows an impressive degree of among species differentiation, this is not true for all species and hence, a number of important pest species cannot be differentiated based on this marker alone. An ideal method for species identification should therefore obtain information of the best discriminating genetic region or of several genetic regions. Here, we describe a state-of-the-art method to achieve this task. PURPOSE The purpose of this workflow is to provide a generic method for genetic identification of potential insect quarantine species and of other especially dangerous pest species in support of the Swiss Federal Plant Protection Service. The method is marker independent and may be used with reference databases of any genetic fragment. It is based on whole genome amplification, followed by single strand nanopore sequencing and DNA barcoding based identification.

The β Ti-based alloys have attracted considerable interest as biomedical materials due to their unique characteristics, such as excellent biocompatibility, low elastic modulus, low density, and corrosion and wear resistances in biological environment. Ti, Nb, and Zr are non-toxic and non-allergenic biocompatible metals, and the addition of Nb and Zr to Ti favors the mechanical compatibility between the alloy and the bone. The addition of Nb to Ti yields to the stabilization of the β phase, and the addition of Zr to the Ti-Nb system increases the β stabilizing effect. However, the ideal amounts of the constituent elements in the Ti-Nb-Zr ternary system are uncertain. Combinatorial strategies allow for the production and characterization of many alloys simultaneously, and magnetron sputtering has been used to generate compositional libraries for ternary thin films and coatings. In this study, Ti-Nb-Zr ternary alloy coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering on a Si (100) wafer substrate. The Ti, Nb, and Zr targets were positioned in a triangular configuration below the Si substrate. A composition gradient was formed over all the substrate area. Chemical, structural, and morphological analyses were performed by energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy.

This article analyzes the budget of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the 2014–2020 years in accordance with the reporting data of the State Treasury Service of Ukraine and factors that have an influence on its formation. The basic principles according to which the organization of the government spending in Ukraine is carried out, the concept of managers budgetary funds and financial – planning documents which are created in the course of its activity are researched. It is established that in the State Budget of Ukraine expenditures on the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine have a tendency to growth for the whole study period. Providing the effective use of budget funds is one of the key problems of budget performance, which is typical for most countries of the world. In order to determine the level of completeness and efficiency budget appropriate budget manager, were analyzed an expenditures Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for 2014–2020 years by months and also the balance of unused financial resources for the years was determined, and so was confirmed that there are issues that have a high degree of negative influence for the process of budget planning and performance. Analysis of the structure of defense budget for 2009–2021 was carried out and modern approaches for determining the optimal structure of defense budget were considered. The considerable unbalanced allocation of expenditures of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in terms of months was emphasized. In the process of studying the state of implementation of the budget of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, topical issues were identified that need further research, namely: ensuring the appropriate level of financing of the defense forces, the structure of the defense budget, the system of evaluation and monitoring of the effectiveness of budget programs, the autonomy of the main managers budget funds in the process of implementing the expenditure part of the budget. Possible ways of optimization certain issues in the process of budget planning and execution for the increasing level of completeness and effectiveness of performance budget in the direction of state defense are proposed. This article identify direction for further research: improving the existing theoretical and practical tools for providing effective use of limited financial resources to support defense of the state, and also research of foreign experience about implementation of the program - target method budget performance.

Published: January 2022

The purpose of writing this article is to define the concept and features of democratic civilian control over the defense forces. It was found that the legal relations that arise during the consolidation and definition of the subject of democratic civil control are complex and governed by the rules of various branches of law. To correctly determine the subject of the studied type of control, it is necessary to distinguish the external manifestations of activity of these officials, which are subject to measurement, generalization and analysis. One such manifestation is the behavior of persons subject to legislative provisions on the exercise of democratic civilian control over the defense forces. The subject of democratic civilian control over the defense forces is an element of the objects of control, which is directly covered by the organizational behavior of both military officials and other categories of servicemen and employees of military formations, as well as civilians empowered by Ukrainian law to make decisions. relating to the defense forces. The subject of democratic civilian control over the defense forces must meet the following requirements: objectivity, measurability, specificity, repeatability of results in the case of application by other subjects of control of the same control methodology. The subject of democratic civilian control over the defense forces has its source in the social relations that arise in the security and defense sector. The relationship between the object and the subject of the specified control is determined by the scale of activities carried out to achieve the objectives of control. At the same time, the subject of democratic civilian control over the defense forces is always smaller in scale than its object. An analysis of the current legislation governing the control of the defense forces shows that a sufficient legal basis for the implementation of the above requirements has not yet been created. Gaps in the legal regulation of security and defense control activities need to be filled. This requires amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On National Security", aimed at specifying the system of evaluation of the results of control over the activities of the defense forces.
PROSPECTS OF USING NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE TO SOLVE MILITARY APPLICATION PROBLEMS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Korenets O.
Published: January 2022

Current trends in the development and reform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine necessitate the involvement of geographic information technologies in the military sphere. Geoinformation support of troops is an important component in decision-making at all levels of military management and in solving military-applied tasks. At present, the urgent task is the creation, implementation and practical application of automated geographic information subsystems of troops, which can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the tasks of topographic and navigational support of troops (forces) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The national geospatial data infrastructure (NGDI) is a system that includes organizational structure, hardware and software, basic and profile geospatial data, metadata and metadata databases, geospatial data services, norms, rules and national standards for production, updating, processing, storage, supply and use of geospatial data that are available in Ukraine. Significant changes in the organizational, legal and technological support of the NGDI, which are associated with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "About national geospatial data infrastructure" and the creation of a geoportal, provide new opportunities for its use for various purposes, including military tasks. The paper considers two main blocks of using NGDI to solve military-applied tasks: geoinformation support for planning and combat use of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the use of NGDI for logistics, legal support and other defense needs.
KHILCHEVSKYI V.K. RECREATIONAL AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT QUALITY ASSESSMENT: GLOBAL TRENDS, WHO GUIDELINES, EU BATHING WATER DIRECTIVE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Khilchevskyi V.K.
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study is to introduce modern approaches to assessing the quality of water for recreational purposes in the world and highlight the main provisions of the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the quality of recreational water (2021) and the European Union directive on the management of bathing water (2006/7/EC). The world is actively studying the impact of water quality on recreational water use (visiting beaches, fishing, boating and other water sports, travel on inland waterways, etc.). Research shows that good water quality increases the attractiveness of all recreational water uses. Water pollution and eutrophication of water bodies can significantly reduce the need for recreation. In 2021, WHO developed guidelines for recreational water quality (coastal and freshwater) that highlight the main targets associated with adverse health effects – enterococci and E. coli. WHO guidance emphasizes the need to develop and implement recreational water safety plans (RWSPs) that provide a holistic and practical approach to assessing and managing the risks associated with recreational water use. The European Union has a 2006 Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) that sets out the requirements for monitoring, classifying and managing bathing water quality in water bodies, and providing the public with relevant information. Directive 2006/7/EC is a supplement to the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). According to Directive 2006/7/EC, water pollution is defined as the presence of microbiological contamination or other organisms or wastes that affect the quality of the bathing water and pose a threat to the health of bathers. Bathing water quality management starts with monitoring. In the EU Member States, bathing waters are monitored and monitored at the most stressed points (places of greatest influx of swimwear or danger of pollutants). The content of enterococci and Escherichia coli is monitored, the limit for which is given in Annex 1 of Directive 2006/7/EC. Bathing water quality is assessed by quality classes: excellent; good; satisfactory; nasty. Public participation should be encouraged in the formulation of proposals and comments for the creation, revision and updating of bathing water (beach) lists.
Epilepsy and COVID-19: is infection related to an increased risk of seizure recurrence?
Authors: Odintsova G. V. , Koloteva A. V. , Bannikova V. D.
Published: January 2022

Background. Over the two last years the novel coronavirus infection, COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has become one of the urgent health and social problems. Reports on the SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasiveness raise the question as to whether the infection could be related to an increased risk of seizure recurrence in patients with concomitant epilepsy and COVID-19.

Objective: to study the seizure dynamics in patients with epilepsy recovered after COVID-19 by analyzing clinical observations.

Material and methods. A single-center retrospective uncontrolled open-label observational study regarding an impact of COVID-19 on the course of epilepsy was performed. Patients with epilepsy recovered after COVID-19 were interviewed between January and February 2021 by using a questionnaire containing three sets of questions. The study included 13 patients suffering from COVID-19 along with epilepsy: 7 cases (54%) of genetic (idiopathic) generalised form, 6 cases (46%) of focal form. The mean age was 34.31±12.68 years.

Results. Seizure remission prior to COVID-19 was noted in 10 patients (77%), with no seizure control found in 3 cases (23%) of focal epilepsy at the time of COVID-19. No seizure frequency rise was observed in any case. No recurrent seizures were detected. Electroencephalographic follow-up showed no exacerbated seizures compared to the pre-infection parameters. Monotherapy with anti-epileptic drugs was used in 61% of cases. Levetiracetam monotherapy was administered to 50% of patients, and as a part of a polytherapy regimen – to 100%.

Conclusion. The research findings and literature data show that patients with epilepsy are not at greater risk than the general population. Young age, seizure remission, absence of somatic comorbidities, modern drug use with no interaction with antibiotics and antivirals for the coronavirus disease treatment can be considered as positive predictive value of the course of epilepsy with COVID-19. Further studies are required to be performed in a larger patient sample.
