Authors: CİMİLLİ ÇATIR Fulya Esra , GÜLNAHAR Murat
Published: March 2023

Graphene (Gr) is of great interest in the development of new electronic, photonic, and composite materials. The physical properties of Gr can vary depending on the number of layers, and this unique property makes it a potential material for different electronic applications. In this study, few-layer graphene (FLG) film was spin-coated onto the InP semiconductor surface and the FLG/n-InP Schottky contact was produced. The properties and quality of the FLG nano-film were determined by using Raman spectroscopy. Parameters such as ideality factor, barrier height, and series resistance of Schottky contacts were calculated using current-voltage (I-V) curves. With the Gaussian distribution, the mean ideality factor of the Gr/InP contacts was found to be =1,47, and the mean barrier height values were found to be =0.68 eV. The standard deviation values were calculated as σ=0.32 for the ideality factor and σ=0.06 eV for the barrier height. In addition, the series resistance values were calculated from the Cheung functions and were found to be in agreement with the literature. Finally, the current conduction mechanisms of the Gr/n-InP structure were revealed by examining the logarithmic I-V characteristics.

Published: March 2023

Background: percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgery to treat renal stones. Post-operative pain is distressing to the patient due to the injury to the capsule. Efficacy of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block at multiple level (T9–T10, T10–T11, T11–T12) was evaluated to manage postoperative analgesia in percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgeries.Methodology: a prospective randomized double-blind study of 60 cases of the American Society of Anesthesiologists I–II patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy were allocated into group P (test) and group N (control). Immediately after surgery, group P were given ultrasound-guided paravertebral block at T9–T10, T10–T11, T11–T12 on operated side using 5 ml of 0.25 % Levobupivacine at each level, while group N did not receive paravertebral block. The patients were assessed for visual analogue scale (VAS), time for first rescue analgesic, number of rescue analgesics in first 24 hrs postoperatively.Results: VAS pain scale shows significant difference between group P (4.2 + 0.8) and group N (5.3 + 1.1) (p < 0.05) at 30 mins, 2, 4, 8 hrs postoperatively. Total opioid consumption at postoperative 2, 6, and 24 hrs was less in group P than group N (P < 0.05). Number of rescue analgesics in first 24 hrs post-surgery in group P was 3.0 ± 0.4, and 4.0 ± 1.1 in group N with statistical significant difference (p = 0.0001). Total dose of opioid consumption (mg) in group P was 110 ± 40.45, and 155 ± 64.87 mg in group N with statistical significant difference (p = 0.002). The group N cases used more opioid than group P, with lower scores for satisfaction (p < 0.05). Analgesic consumption in postoperative 24 hrs of group P was less than that of group N (P = 0.001). Patient satisfaction score was significantly higher in group P than group N (P = 0.0001) in 24 hrs. No nausea and/or vomiting were noted in both groups.Conclusion: ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block had more analgesic, and reduce the requirement of opioids and maintains stable hemodynamics.
Procedural sedation in dentistry with the use of dexmedetomidine: effects on clinical examples
Authors: Mykhaylov Bohdan
Published: March 2023

The presence of acute pain can be the worst negative impressions of a person. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the control of acute pain for comfort and prevention of the formation of chronic pain syndrome intraoperatively. The development of a multimodal approach to the control of acute pain allows for shorter results. The more we use antinociceptive receptors for pain control, the more comfortable our patient feels. Alpha-2-adrenergic agonists (clonidine, dexmedetomidine) became a key part of the anesthesiologist’s recruitment in the perioperative period. The very selective infusion of dexmedetomidine on alpha-2a central and peripheral receptors and alpha-2c receptors allowed the drug to be more widely absorbed during procedural sedation. The need for more drugs for procedural sedation may be taken to the maximum possible comfort for the patient, the happy doctor and the anesthesiological team, the change in drug administration and the most likely awakening. To balance and satisfy the needs of the consumer to help the most practical way to achieve the goal of combinations of drugs and analysis of useful and negative effects.

Special notice. There are presented two cases with typical development but different in terms of surgical applications of clinical manifestations of the described effects, associated with the intake of Kvanadex (dexmedetomidine hydrochloride) during procedural sedation in outpatient dentistry.

Conclusions. The administration of dexmedetomidine (Kvanadex) intraoperatively together with propofol during procedural sedation in outpatient dentistry allows to control the pain in the perioperative period with vicarious treatment of basic traditional drugs (acetaminophen, NSAIDs) in non-healing doses, changing the dose of propofol during the procedure, reducing the vomit reflex, allowing for a comfortable follow-up of the doctor’s commands (surgeon, implantologist, orthopedist) and more rapid transfer of the patient to the awakening ward.
Antibiotic resistance and rational outpatient antibiotic treatment of upper respiratory tract infections in children
Authors: Dobrovanov Oleksandr , Nazarchuk Oleksandr , Dmitrieva Katerina
Published: March 2023

On the eve of the season of respiratory infections, we would like to draw the attention of outpatient doctors to the fact that 80–90 percent of winter diseases affecting the nose, ears, throat and lungs are of viral origin. Improper and excessive consumption of antibiotics increases the risk of antibiotic resistance, and thus humanity enters the post-antibiotic era. The World Health Organization warns that the problems that antibiotic resistance could cause in the future can be compared to the spread of AIDS in the 1980s. The principles of rational use of antibiotics should always be based on the assumption that antibiotics are causal drugs, and their overuse very often leads to resistance, which negatively affects the entire population. Irrational antibiotic therapy can also lead to discomfort, worsening of acute and chronic pain. It is also important to know that in the post-antibiotic era, science has other options for fighting bacteria, such as vaccination, immunotherapy, and strengthening individual immunity. The correct attitude of doctors to the prevention of diseases and rational treatment with antibiotics can help reduce the resistance of bacterial strains, discomfort and pain.

Taking into account the presence of weak soils on the territory of Ukraine, additional vertical deformations occur in soil foundations, associated with a violation of their structure. Water saturation of such soilsleads to a change in VAT and affects the conditions for the reliable operation of construction objects. In this regard, it becomes necessary to strengthen the foundations of these building objects, to improve the bearing capacity of these foundations. Therefore, in practice, the search for new ways to strengthen the foundations, improve their bearing capacity is constantly being carried out. In difficult engineering and geological conditions, the deterioration of the physical and mechanical properties leads to a rise in deformations and a decrease in the bearing capacity of the foundations. Reinforcement of foundations is also necessary when constructing superstructures. In the robot, using the numerical method of boundary elements, the behavior under load of a shallow foundation on a natural basis reinforced with cross piles is predicted. Reinforcement of foundation structures requires determination of their bearing capacity and stress-strain state (SSS) after reconstruction. Normative design of foundations, based on subsidence and rolls, which are borderline permissible from the point of view of the operational suitability and reliability of structures, puts forward increased requirements for the accuracy of calculating the displacements of foundations. Thecomplexity of the properties of soils and the many factors that influence their mechanical behavior have long been a barrier before which the mathematical methods of continuum mechanics were de-strengthened. The emergence of modern ECM allowed algebraicizing the mathematical formulation of most problems in soil mechanics, which require taking into account a large number of nonlinear determining factors and the transition to elastic-plastic models. The use of a numerical eexperiment, as never before, closely linked the physical meaning of the problem, its mathematical formulation, numerical methods of calculation and the ECM. In the robot, to obtain a forecast of the bearing capacity of a reinforced foundation, anelastic-plastic model of a discrete soil medium and a numerical MGE are used

The substantiation of the need to develop and implement new resource-saving technologies for the production of construction mixtures using aggregates obtained as a result of complex processing of solid inorganic construction waste is provided. Analytical studies of technogenic waste processing technologies for obtaining building materials have been conducted. The results of the study of the experience of construction scrap processing are presented, with confirmation of the expediency of the fact that the technology of recycling accumulated construction scrap dumps in the territory where the destroyed buildings were located does not require any new specialized measures. The projected volumes of building materials in the composition of residential construction objects with various quantitative parameters of the constituent components of the elements of the fencing structures are presented. Analytical studies have established that the accumulated volumes of construction scrap from the destruction ofelements of buildings and structures in the vast majority include the remains of concrete, reinforced concrete, expanded clay concrete, brickwork made of ceramic and silicate products. Experimental series of aggregate samples were made using experimental samples of construction scrap, their granulometric characteristics were determined and physical parameters were investigated. With the use of regulatory and technical literature, the predicted prescription parameters of the concrete mixture using a new variety of aggregates obtained by re-processing of construction scrap were compiled. The presence of reactive substances on thesurface of the obtained aggregates was substantiated and the presence of increased physical and mechanical characteristics of the samples with a decrease in the binder content was confirmed. Recipe and technological parameters for the production of wall building materials using the obtained multicomponent building mixtures are proposed. The results of tests of physical and mechanical characteristics of test samples of concrete using aggregates from solid inorganic waste are presented

Scientific and technical progress largely ensures the production and use of new effective building construction materials with predetermined properties. The article considers the prospects of using a relatively new modern material in construction -composite reinforcement (AC), which has anumber of advantages compared to traditional metal reinforcement and at the same time is characterized by properties that limit its use in the production technology of modern concrete structures. In connection witha number of circumstances associated with the expansion of the operating conditions of reinforced concrete structures in highly aggressive environments, where it is difficult to ensure the corrosion resistance of steel reinforcement, composite reinforcement is used. The prospects of using composite reinforcement in ensuring the dielectric properties of some products and structures are shown. The global experience of using AK is summarized, the modern regulatory framework for its use in modern construction isgiven. It is shown that the use of AK on a par with steel reinforcement according to current standards regarding mechanical, technological and operational properties is sufficient to solve the vast majority of construction tasks. Reasons for the expansion of the use of composite reinforcement,taking into account the high energy intensity of traditional steel reinforcement and the inevitability of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with Ukraine's international obligations, are given.

The article deals with issues of resistance to cracking at low temperature, low-temperature characteristics of asphalt concrete, tensile strength in bending, and the ratio of tensile strength to bending deformation, which reflects the flexibility of asphalt concrete.When the temperature is relatively low, the asphalt concrete should have a certain deformation capacity, and the temperature shrinkage crack can be reduced under the low temperature condition. The ultimate flexure tensile strain at low temperature is closely related to the performance of asphalt. Increasing the viscosity of asphalt can improve the low-temperature crack resistance of pavement

A review of prefab modular building metal structures with a list of their advantages and an assessment of reuse compared to building structures made of concrete and wood is carried out. An analysis of the cost structure of such metal structures and their nstallation is given. It is noted that the most effective means of reducing the cost of metal structures is to reduce metal consumption. Unlike welded for bolted structures, installation is simplified and bolted connections provide the possibility of disassembling the structure with transportation to another place, which is important for hangars, warehouses that change location. The use of cast metal structures, in particular, made by gasification model casting (LGM) in vacuum molds made of loose sand,has significant opportunities. The motivation, methods and examples of optimization of constructions, as well as imitation of constructions of nature, in particular crystalline materials, for man-made metal products are considered. Cellular spatial materials obtained by the LGM method expand the existing range of properties compared to compact materials. And cast lattice materials,in particular, the analogues of which are taken from the macro-and microworld of nature, from prefabricated model elements, will simplify construction and allow the production of cellular materials and frame lightweight products, which are often called "materials of the future." Ukraine obtains metal from its own ores and is able to transform it into a high-tech, knowledge-intensive product in the form of machines, mechanisms and metal construction structures. The development of such technologies opens up ways to borrow the structural properties of natural materials known to us not only to copy them, but also to obtain new materials and structures with optimization for specific mechanisms or buildings. At the same time, construction with the use of metal structures has all the prerequisites to become an effective solution in the construction industry, which will contribute to the reconstruction of the country
Straniero ma non estraneo. Lo sfondo esperienziale e teologico della relazione con l’altro
Authors: De Panfilis Daniela
Published: March 2023

The theme of the “stranger” in the Bible will be approached from the point of view of the relationship between an indigenous group and the “otherness” represented by those who sojourn in a foreign land. The words that the Hebrew language uses for “stranger” testifies to a nuanced perception of this overall category and also a nuanced attitude toward different kinds of “strangers.” The methodology applied is the Social Identity Approach, that focuses on intergroup relationship, and, the concept of Proximate Other. Among the “others,” the biblical Laws’ corpora give particular attention to gēr. The gēr is “other,” but he/she dwells within the Israelite in-group and shares with it his/her everyday life. Nine rules add a motive clause which refers to the experiential background of Jacob’s clan in Egypt. Four of these motive clauses refer to Israelites as gērim and come at the end of rules about only the gēr in Israel’s land. The theological background is expressed in Lev 25:23, which uses the word gērim for the relationship between God and his people. The proposal of the Bible is to bring near the “stranger,” so that the “stranger” is not more an “extraneous.”
“Dois termos, nada mais, nada menos”:

Published: March 2023

Qual é o impacto da ação e discurso de atores religiosos cristãos conservadores – católicos e evangélicos – nos processos de discussão e decisão das políticas públicas tramitando em casas legislativas estaduais e municipais brasileiras? Eis a questão que norteia este artigo. Tomando como campo de observação o debate em torno da presença de dois termos, “gênero” e “sexualidade”, dentro de um amplo programa de educação estadual no Ceará, o conservadorismo cristão transforma a política pública, lugar do equacionamento racional-democrático de tensões e desigualdades sociais, em teatro onde se manipulam medos sociais e pânicos morais. A mobilização em torno da retirada dos dois signos linguísticos (gênero e sexualidade) de documentos orientativos de políticas públicas reflete uma linguagem religiosa avessa aos processos de interlocução e racionalidade comunicativa. Embasados por metodologia qualitativa – revisão bibliográfica parcial, transcrição de discursos em ambiente legislativo, uso de fontes primárias (perfis em redes digitais) e secundárias – traçamos o panorama de um longo processo de deterioração de políticas públicas democráticas sob as mãos religiosas de atores políticos do campo conservador cristão.

Early brain tumor identification is a critical challenge for neurologists and radiologists. Manually identifying brain tumors through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is difficult and prone to mistakes. The diagnosis of tumor is a complex job when performed in a traditional manner. Brain abnormalities can be fatal, lowering a patient's quality of life and adversely harming their overall health. Brain tumors vary in nature based on where they are situated and how rapidly they develop inside the skull. Tumors are a proliferation of abnormal nerve cells that form a mass. Some brain tumors begin in the cells that support the brain's nerve cells. This paper proposes a machine learning algorithm known as YOLO v5 SSD (single shot detection) to detect and classify such tumors namely meningioma, glioma, and pituitary gland with 88% accuracy. For this purpose, data augmentation was applied to the publically available dataset from Kaggle. MRI of different classes including 396 glioma images, 397 meningioma, 380 no tumor, and 399 images of pituitary tumors were employed. The current study presents false negative, true positive false positive, and true negative, which were used to test the YOLO v5 (You Only Look Once) classifier performance. It was determined that the YOLO v5 model is giving 88% accuracy.

Proctological diseases (acute and chronic hemorrhoids, anal fissure, proctitis) have frequent relapses, are characterized by a severe course and are common among broad strata of the working-age population. The leading clinical sign of this group of diseases is lesions of the mucous membrane of the rectum of varying degrees of severity which is accompanied by signs of inflammation, pain syndrome, deterioration of local circulation, involvement of secondary infection. It determines the use of complex products that combine anti-inflammatory, analgesic effects and promote the reparative processes of the mucous membrane. On the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market the number of such products is limited, most of them are foreign-made.

The purpose of the work is to study the assortment of medicines for rectal use on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, to determine the feasibility and prospects of developing new combined soft medicines of domestic production. Methods of marketing, statistical and graphic analysis were used in the work from official sources of information: (The State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine and the ATC classification system).

While researching the assortment of medicines for rectal use it was established that there are 34 names of medicines for rectal use in various forms of release on the domestic market, of which suppositories ‒ 55.9%, ointments ‒ 35.3%, creams ‒ 8.8%; the share of foreign-made medicines is 61.7% and domestic ‒ 38.3%. Complex synthetic medicines occupy 49.9% of the assortment and complex medicines of natural origin ‒ only 2.95%.

In the production of soft medicines for rectal use, hydrophobic (40%), emulsion (40%) and diphilic bases (20%) are more often used. Solid fat (78.9%) is more often used in the production of suppositories.

Considering the limited range of medicines for rectal use based on medicinal plant raw materials, it is advisable to develop new combined soft medicinal products which will include biologically active substances of plant origin.

Modern medicines for the treatment of wounds are developed on the basis of knowledge about their phase healing. The main principle of wound treatment is the creation and maintenance of a moist environment, stable temperature, absorption of excess exudate, minimization of the risk of sensitization, increased intervals between dressings, easy removal of coatings from the surface of the wound. The implementation of this principle is the basis of our research on the creation of a cryogel – a supermacroporous hydrogel that is formed at subzero temperatures by polymerization of monomers or cryogel formation of oligomers without the use of toxic organic solvents and with controlled textural and structural characteristics. A comprehensive study of cryogels has like theoretical as practical interest, because they can serve as a perspectiving new material in pharmacy for obtaining new medicines.

The purpose of our research was to substantiate the composition of the cryogel with lidocaine hydrochloride and decamethoxine based on the conducted pharmacotechnological, physicochemical and biopharmaceutical research methods. Model samples (№№ 1–10) with different contents of lidocaine hydrochloride, decamethoxine, and auxiliary substances were selected as research objects. Pharmacotechnological, physicochemical and biopharmaceutical research methods were used.

The technological and biopharmaceutical factors of development pharmaceutical composition in the form of a cryogel with lidocaine hydrochloride and decamethoxine were studied. Based on the results of the research, we found that samples (№№ 1–10) are homogeneous without signs of delamination, no changes are observed (aggregation of particles, sediment, odor). Samples №№ 3, 9 and 10 differ in the presence/absence of API. It was shown that APIs do not affect the absorption capacity of the studied samples. Comparative studies confirm our assumption that the presence of PG in the cryogel increases the absorption of liquid by the samples. The prolongation of the action in the composition depends on the presence of PG in the sample of composition. The prolonged effect of pharmaceutical composition was established. For further research, sample № 10 (lidocaine hydrochloride – 0.4; decamethoxine – 0.03; PVA 15% – 20.0; PG – 10.0) was chosen.

Este artículo presenta el conjunto de datos de terremotos denominado Catálogo Sísmico Integrado (CSI) para Colombia y territorios limítrofes (fronteras con Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panamá, Perú y Venezuela). El CSI contiene soluciones denominadas preferidas, construidas con base en catálogos sísmicos globales y regionales. Cada solución preferida incluye las mejores alternativas disponibles para magnitud y localización, seleccionadas de entre las candidatas provenientes de los diferentes catálogos recopilados siguiendo matrices de priorización. Los eventos sísmicos que componen el CSI se encuentran en un cuadrante entre los −84° y −66° de longitud y −5° y 16° de latitud, en el sistema geográfico WGS84, y cubre el periodo desde 1610 (apoyado en catálogos de sismos históricos con magnitudes estimadas a partir de intensidades macrosísmicas) hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020. Las soluciones preferidas incluidas en el CSI tienen valores de magnitud homogeneizados a magnitud de momento (Mw), utilizando transformaciones en los casos en donde este valor no se estimó por su fuente original, y en su lugar se calculó un tipo de magnitud diferente. Se espera que el CSI sirva como insumo o referencia para generar modelos de amenaza y caracterizar fuentes sismogénicas, puesto que busca integrar diferentes soluciones de localización y magnitud, estandarizadas a los parámetros más utilizados en la actualidad.

Стаття присвячена механізмам післявоєнного відновлення економіки та інфраструктури України. Враховуючи результати проведеного дослідження доведено, що будівництво – системна, бюджетоутворююча галузь, яка має прямий та визначальний вплив на розвиток всієї економіки. Реалізація інфраструктурних проектів зумовлює зниження рівня безробіття, ріст ділової активності, підвищення капіталізації інших галузей та є індикатором очікування інституційних інвесторів та корпорацій щодо розвитку економіки на найближчі роки. Дослідивши механізми фінансування будівництва в Україні та оцінивши масштаби руйнувань інфраструктури під час війни, було визначено, що наявний механізм фінансування є обмеженим і недостатнім для залучення інвестицій в необхідних для післявоєнної відбудови об’ємах. Зважаючи на це в статті запропонована модель залучення інвестицій для відновлення інфраструктури та економіки України. Світовий досвід доводить, що використання корпоративних облігацій інфраструктурного типу є економічно виправданим та ефективним у залучені великих обсягів інвестицій, а використання військових ОВДП урядом України свідчить, що вітчизняний бізнес та посередні українці мають позитивне ставлення до появи нових фінансових інструментів, якщо мета використання таких інструментів має чіткий та зрозумілий характер. Визначено необхідні характеристики боргових цінних паперів з метою підвищення їхньої інвестиційної привабливості для різних групи інвесторів. Визначено основні причини низької популярності українських облігацій у іноземних інвесторів та запропоновано шляхи підвищення привабливості боргових цінних паперів закордоном.
