Authors: Melnychenko Svitlana Volodymyrivna , Mykytsei Tereza Dmytrivna
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and the temporary occupation of part of its territory since 2014 has caused a significant damage to Ukraine’s nature reserve fund and worsened the environmental situation in the country. One of the directions for attracting internal and external visitors to the nature reserves was ecological tourism. However, the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus infection, and then a military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, led to a reduction of tourist flows, and foreign investments withdrawal out of nature reserve fund and tourism industry. Safety risks remain a decisive factor in forecasting the further development of nature reserves, including through tourist trips of ecological direction. Ukraine Recovery Plan covers the solutions of such key industry challenges as: restoration of wildlife, enhancing fire safety measures in forests, implementation of ecosystem services concept, assessment of losses and threats to sustainable development of regions, re-naturalization of territories damaged during hostilities and the expansion of the eco-network, creation of an inter-agency program “Ecological education and informing for sustainable Development of Ukraine in 2022–2032” for each region of Ukraine. The implementation of strategic objectives mentioned above is possible if sustainable development paradigm is maintained. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to justify the proposals for restoration and development of nature reserves by attracting international and national sources of funding in the context of sustainable development concept. Through application of economic and statistical methods, state of nature reserves was assessed, their recovery was forecasted in accordance with requirements of sustainable development. Application of analysis and synthesis methods gave opportunity to assess the damage inflicted to protected environmental territories and to identify potential trends of their post-war development. The hypothesis is confirmed that one of the drivers of post-war restoration and development of nature reserves is the environmental partnership between government institutions, public and business structures. Based on conducted analysis, sources of financing the processes of restoration and development of nature reserves, of both national and international significance, are proposed in the paper. One of the local budgets financing sources is tourist activities in compliance with rules of stay on such type of territories. Expansion of the network of tourist routes and trails, public awareness of ecosystem services, formation of regional tourist brands, their promotion within the country and abroad will contribute to the restoration of nature reserves of Ukraine even during war.

Published: December 2024

Organisms living in arid biomes are predicted to be at threat of extinction associated with ongoing climatic and anthropogenic change. Our understanding of species responses to Pleistocene climatic changes within these environments is still limited, particularly in Australia. Here we evaluate the demographic and evolutionary history of a widespread Australian marsupial, the black-footed rock-wallaby (Petrogale lateralis) whose contemporary distribution is highly fragmented across the arid biome and offshore islands. Combining genomic data from historical and modern samples we evaluate the divergence history of the five P. lateralis sub-species. The species has experienced a Pleistocene demographic expansion across the vast Australian arid biome, with subsequent fragmentation of populations and sub-species. Populations of the widespread sub-species P. lateralis lateralis are as divergent as sub-species within P. lateralis and there is negligible recent gene flow between most populations/sub-species. Individuals on islands have extremely low genetic diversity and high inbreeding coefficients, in contrast to the naturally fragmented mainland populations. Our results indicate historical connectivity of populations ~160-640 kya, and indications of bottlenecks for both island and some isolated mainland populations, providing important context for conservation management and potential genetic rescue. However, given the large ecological gradient and chromosomal variation within this widespread species, assessment of ecological differences will be important before decisions to mix across geographically distant populations and/or sub-species.
Fizikai egészség és jóllétérzés 1-es típusú cukorbeteg gyermekeknél és serdülőknél
Authors: Lukács Andrea
Published: December 2024

Az 1-es típusú cukorbetegség kezelésének elsődleges célja gyermekeknél a metabolikus kontroll optimalizálása és a hosszú távú életminőség javítása. A tanulmány célja, hogy értékelje az 1-es típusú cukorbeteg gyermekek és serdülők fizikai egészségét és jóllétérzését és összehasonlítsa az egészséges kortársaikéval. A tanulmány további célja a glikémiás kontrollt befolyásoló tényezők azonosítása. Antropometriai jellemzők, fizikai aktivitás, kardiorespiratorikus fittség, és egészséggel összefüggő életminőség került felmérésre 236 fő, 8–18 éves gyermeknél, akik közül 106 fő 1-es típusú cukorbeteg volt (50% fiú). Az életminőség mérése a Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory általános moduljával történt, míg a kardiorespiratorikus fittség a 20 méteres progresszív ingafutásból számolt maximális oxigénfogyasztás alapján. A fizikai aktivitási szintek értékelése kérdőív alapján történt. Nem volt jelentős különbség a testösszetételben (bőrredővastagság és BMI z-érték) a cukorbeteg gyermekek és egészséges kortársaik között. A fizikai aktivitási szintben és az általános életminőségben is hasonló volt a két csoport. A cukorbeteg gyermekek azonban kedvezőtlenebb kardiorespiratorikus fittséget mutattak a kontrollcsoporthoz képest. A glikémiás kontrollt befolyásoló tényezők közül csak a maximális oxigénfogyasztás bizonyult szignifikáns magyarázó tényezőnek. A cukorbeteg gyermekek és serdülők hasonló életminőségben élnek, mint egészséges kortársaik. Annak ellenére, hogy a testösszetételükben és a fizikai aktivitási szintjükben nem volt eltérés, a VO2max érték kedvezőtlenebb kardiorespiratorikus fittségre utalt. A cukorbeteg gyermekeknél a fizikai fittség meghatározó tényezője volt a glikémiás kontrollnak. A rendszeres aerob testmozgás végzése hatékony beavatkozás az optimális glikémiás kontroll eléréséhez és megtartásához, ezáltal a betegek klinikai állapotának javításához.
Várandós nők előzetes szülésélményének és szülési attitűdjének összefüggései
Authors: Galvácsné Szabó Janka , Lakatos Csilla
Published: December 2024

A szerzők a keresztmetszeti kvantitatív kutatás során olyan tényezőket vizsgáltak, amelyek szerepet tölthetnek be a szüléshez kapcsolódó attitűdök alakulásában. A vizsgálat célja a korábbi szülésélmény következő várandósságra gyakorolt hatásainak feltérképezése volt. A vizsgálat fókuszában az a kérdés állt, hogy hogyan vélekednek a szülésről a szülésélménnyel már rendelkező, jelenleg várandós nők, illetve hogyan élték meg előző szülésük eseményeit, és ezek az élmények hogyan jelennek meg a következő szülésükre való készülésben. A kérdőívet 242 várandós, korábban már szült nő töltötte ki, átlagos életkoruk 32,5 év (±4,63 év). A mintában legnagyobb arányban a harmadik trimeszterben lévő várandósok voltak jelen (45,04%). A szerzők a szociokulturális tényezőkön túl (kor, iskolai végzettség, lakhely) a szülészeti anamnézist, az előző szülés módját és körülményeit, a szüléssel kapcsolatos elégedettséget, továbbá a jelenlegi várandósságjellemzőt vizsgálták. A következő szüléssel kapcsolatos gondolatok, vélemények és érzések vizsgálatára a Szülés-attitűdök Kérdőívet használták. Az eredmények arra utalnak, hogy az előzetes szülés módja és helyszíne nagymértékben összefügg a szüléssel való elégedettséggel és a következő szüléssel kapcsolatos attitűdökkel. A kutatásban részt vevő várandósok körében a szülési attitűdök vonatkozásában megállapítható, hogy a félelemmel kapcsolatos szülési attitűdöket az előző szülés módja nagymértékben befolyásolja. Azok a várandós nők, akik kisebb mértékben félnek a szüléstől, a természetes szülést részesítik előnyben.

Published: December 2024

An important fact related to mobile payments is that adopters have already reached the majority group in more than 47 countries. This paper seeks to identify the main success determinants of firms operating in the segment, looking for relevant characteristics of organizations that are successful in this competitive arena. The research results suggest that companies with organic and flexible structures, open communication qualities, and decentralized decision processes increase their chances of success. Furthermore, the results also show that, given non-impeditive regulations, critical mass and the provision of different services other than the payment choice should be considered by firms operating in the mobile payment segment. Payment systems that allow people to pay using their mobile phones are promised to reduce transaction fees, increase convenience, and enhance payment security. New mobile payment systems also are likely to make it easier for businesses to identify consumers, to collect more information about consumers, and to share more information about consumers’ purchases among more businesses. The overall result indicates that organizational resources and management subsystems are relevant to the success of mobile payment enterprises, which usually run as platforms. The paper describes emerging technologies that can benefit mobile payments in terms of usability and security of mobile payments. Despite the convenience, users are wary of potential vulnerabilities, such as data breaches and fraud. As a result, there is an ongoing effort to enhance security measures, including biometric authentication and advanced encryption technologies, to reassure users and safeguard transactions.

Heavy metal contamination poses significant risks to marine ecosystems and human health. This study investigates the impact of heavy metal contamination on the phytochemical profiles of two marine crustacean species, Farfantepenaeus notialis and Macrobrachium vollenhovenii. Samples of these crustaceans were collected from Bodija Market, Ibadan, Nigeria, and analyzed for heavy metal content (Cu, Cd, Pb, Hg, As) and phytochemical constituents including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinones, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, steroids, and phenols. The heavy metal analysis revealed that Farfantepenaeus notialis had concentrations of Cu at 0.592 ± 0.03 mg/g and Pb at 0.080 ± 0.06 mg/g, while Macrobrachium vollenhovenii had lower concentrations of Cu (0.331 ± 0.07 mg/g) and Pb (0.061 ± 0.02 mg/g). Phytochemical screening showed that Farfantepenaeus notialis had higher levels of alkaloids (1.65 ± 0.004% w/w), flavonoids (0.35 ± 0.17% w/w), and saponins (0.80 ± 0.002% w/w) compared to Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, which had lower concentrations of these compounds (alkaloids: 0.75 ± 0.002% w/w, flavonoids: 0.12 ± 0.10% w/w, saponins: 0.75 ± 0.001% w/w). Both species were positive for steroids and cardiac glycosides but lacked detectable levels of tannins and phenols. These results indicate that heavy metal contamination significantly influences the phytochemical composition of marine crustaceans. The higher heavy metal levels in Farfantepenaeus notialis correlated with higher phytochemical concentrations, whereas Macrobrachium vollenhovenii showed lower phytochemical levels, possibly due to its lower heavy metal accumulation. This comparative analysis underscores the need for ongoing monitoring of heavy metal pollution in marine environments and its effects on aquatic organisms' biochemical profiles.
Gut Microbiota, Circulating Metabolites and Risk of Endometriosis: A Two-Step Mendelian Randomization Study

Epidemiological studies and animal models have suggested a possible link between gut microbiota (GM), circulating metabolites, and endometriosis (EMs) pathogenesis. However, whether these associations are causal or merely due to confounding factors remains unclear. We conducted a two-sample and two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) study to elucidate the potential causal relationship between GM and EMs, and the mediating role of circulating metabolites. Our MR analysis revealed that higher abundances of class Negativicutes, and order Selenomonadales, as well as genera Dialister, Enterorhabdus, Eubacterium xylanophilum group, Methanobrevibacter were associated with an increased risk of EMs (Odds Ratio (OR) range: 1.0019–1.0037). Conversely, higher abundances of genera Coprococcus 1 and Senegalimassilia were linked to reduced risk of EMs (OR range: 0.9964–0.9967). Additionally, elevated levels of circulating metabolites such as 1-eicosatrienoyl-glycerophosphocholine and 1-oleoylglycerophosphocholine were found to be associated with heightened risk of EMs (OR range: 2.21–3.16), while higher concentrations of 3-phenylpropionate and dihomo-linolenate were protective (OR range: 0.285–0.535). Two-step MR analysis indicated that specific microbial taxa, notably genus Enterorhabdus and order Selenomonadales, might function as mediators linking circulating metabolites to the risk of EMs. Our findings suggest a probable causal relationship between GM, circulating metabolites, and EMs, indicating that GM may mediate the influence of circulating metabolites on the pathophysiology of EMs. These results offer new leads for future mechanistic studies and could inform clinical translational research.

Nadaraya-Watson Estimation of a Circular Regression Model on Peak Systolic Blood Pressure Data
Authors: Sadiq Nazer Rana , Abdulmohsin Ali Omar
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The research aims to estimate models representing phenomena that follow the logic of circular (angular) data, accounting for the 24-hour periodicity in measurement.
Theoretical framework: The regression model is developed to account for the periodic nature of the circular scale, considering the periodicity in the dependent variable y, the explanatory variables x, or both.
Design/methodology/approach: Two estimation methods were applied: a parametric model, represented by the Simple Circular Regression (SCR) model, and a nonparametric model, represented by the Nadaraya-Watson Circular Regression (NW) model. The analysis used real data from 50 patients at Al-Kindi Teaching Hospital in Baghdad.
Findings: The Mean Circular Error (MCE) criterion was used to compare the two models, leading to the conclusion that the Nadaraya-Watson (NW) circular model outperformed the parametric model in estimating the parameters of the circular regression model.
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The recommendation emphasized using the Nadaraya-Watson nonparametric smoothing method to capture the nonlinearity in the data.
Originality/value: The results indicated that the Nadaraya-Watson circular model (NW) outperformed the parametric model.

Possibility of Benefiting from the Egyptian Experience in Implementing Agricultural Policies to Enhance Food Security in Iraq for the period (2000-2018)
Authors: Ali Abdul Husssein Duaa , Nema Ali Sabah
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The research aims to identify the challenges facing the agricultural sector in Egypt in light of the global food crisis and the role of agricultural policies in confronting them considering the available resources and the extent of benefiting from the banking experience in implementing agricultural policies to enhance food security in Iraq.
Theoretical framework: The research dealt with the study of agricultural policies and their role in enhancing food security in Iraq by benefiting from the Egyptian experience. The research problem revolves around the fact that the agricultural sector in Egypt faces several challenges, including weak government support for investment in this sector, in contrast to high production costs, the increasing population growth rate, and political and security instability, which led to an increase in the food gap and reliance on abroad to cover local demand for food commodities, especially strategic ones, and the extent of benefiting from the banking experience in implementing agricultural policies to enhance food security in Iraq.
Design/methodology/approach: The researcher adopted the deductive method and the descriptive analytical method to study agricultural policies and their role in enhancing food security. The Egyptian experience for the years (2000-2018) was studied and the extent to which it was benefited from in Iraq, especially since that period witnessed a volatile economic situation as a result of the political and economic events that Iraq witnessed.
Findings: The analysis of agricultural production relative to local consumption reveals a significant gap, leading to increased reliance on imports to meet domestic demand.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The current research contributes to clarifying the role played by agricultural policies in enhancing the level of food security in Iraq by benefiting from the Egyptian experience.
Originality/value: The results showed that the number of publications related to banking activities and their role in enhancing market value is increasing, and that the field of economics is the most contributing, as the participating countries provided the largest number of publications.
