Human geography in Ukraine: problems of development and priority research directions
Authors: Shevchuk S. M. 
Published: October 2019

The problems of development of scientific schools of human geography in Ukraine are determined. It is shown that contemporary human geography in Ukraine is a methodologically formed science with its own theoretical and methodological apparatus, which under the current conditions should be aimed at solving the applied problems regarding the improvement of the socio- territorial organization in Ukraine.The article analyses the different functional aspects of development of human geography in Ukraine. Among the main problems that hinder the development of scientific schools, and there- fore the science in general, are the following: individualized activity of scientific schools without specific purpose, partial realization of their contribution to all-school social geography, and contribution to the world of science; the problem of definition , which is as- sociated with the use of simultaneous usage of different terms for the science ;«economic and social geography», «socio-economic geography», «social geography»; the problem of social differentiation, geography and lack of a pivotal system of logically completed laws of science that could integrate different paradigms and research areas; lack of implementation of applied science functions and etc. Considerable attention is paid to the prospects of comprehension of human geography related to improvement of the theo- retical basis in accordance with the realities of the beginning of XXI century, emphasis is placed on applied aspects of science and avoidance of pointless abstraction.The strategic goal of socio-geographical science is the determination of economic, demographic, social, political and environmental capacities of the geographic shell, justification of rational parameters of regional and global nature management, identification of the main trends of technological, sectoral and territorial development of the economy of Ukraine and its regions.It is proved that the main tasks of the science are also studies of the quality of life of the population; improvement of the structure of production and its transfer to an innovative level; definition and achievement of the optimal social, functional-branch and territorial structure of the economy; optimizing the structure of economic, social, political and other ties. At the regional and local levels, priorities include the problems of nature use and nature conservation, the development of depressed regions, the justification and implementation of regional economic, social, demographic and environmental policies. The key to solving these problems from the methodological point of view is the substantiation of the general theory of regional studies taking into account the diversity of the territorial organization of society.

The article deals with the structure of the modern information technology system used in the tourism industry. It is emphasized that the use of information technology in each separate segment of the tourism industry, such as hotels, ticket reservations, the creation of specialized tourist products, is interlinked with all others. The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the using of modern information technologies in the tourism industry. It was established that the introduction of information technology in the tourism industry took place in four stages, from the creation of data, through the direct development of information technologies , the development of strategic information systems and the integration of individual IT components in a network of different levels, from local to global. It is revealed that the majority of tourist enterprises use both standard and special software in their activity. For tourism enterprises to carry out marketing activities successfully, the information market offers technologies aimed at the process of automating the accumulation of survey results, planning and developing a marketing strategy. One of the most important elements in the tourism industry is computer reservation systems, which eventually integrated into global booking systems. These systems provide not only transport services, but also hotel accommodation, cruise trips, location information, bus, rail and air connections, exchange rates, weather reports, etc., allowing one to reserve all major components of the tour. Tour operators use several classic approaches to building a reservation system. The features of the market of tourist services, the specific characteristics of the services themselves and the peculiarities of their perception by consumers determine the specifics of marketing in this area. The use of information technologies, in particular the Internet, enables businesspeople and marketers to explore new market opportunities for their travel services, to highlight and explore various market segments (geographic, demographic, professional, organizational, behavioural, etc.). Tracking relevant information can be used to predict the future development of consumer demand and identify new trends in the behaviour of existing and potential customers. The use of geoinformation systems opens up broad prospects for engineering justification and design of new tourist routes and recreational areas, the publication of thematic tourist maps and the creation of web atlases, etc. Thus, thanks to information technologies, a single tourist information space is created that allows all players in the tourist market to quickly receive real information.

Abstract: Bariatric surgery is more effective in the management of morbid obesity and related comorbidities than conservative therapy. There are two main groups, restrictive and malabsorptive procedures. Laparoscopic gastric plication with pylorus-preserving loop duodenoileal bypass is classified into the latter group. It should be considered as the modernized variant of the classical Scopinaro procedure. In this article, the method is presented by a case report. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(43): 1714–1718.
Kéretlen e-mailek az orvos postafiókjában: ezek veszélyei az egészségnevelésre, a betegtájékoztatásra és a tudományos munkára

Abstract: Introduction: The term “spam” is applied to unwanted commercial e-mails sent to all whose e-mail addresses have been acquired by the spammers. The number of undesirable e-mails is growing in the health-care related areas as well. The targets of health-care related spams are laymen, physicians and academic researchers alike. Method: On the basis of 12,986 unwanted letters received in one year, the authors concluded that percentage of health-related spam is the second most common spam (27%) in relation to all spam. Most of the spam (63%) aggressively promoted purchasing of various consumer goods, but health-related spam are far ahead of the rest. The collected data were grouped by year and topic and they are analyzed by simple descriptive statistics. Spam form of cyber attacks on health care issues were divided into two: spam what is jeopardized individuals’ health (e.g. medical compounds without any curing effect, misleading statement on medical device, fraudulent panacea offers, and cheating cure methods, etc.) and onslaught on medical scientific activity (pseudo-scientific congress invitation, predator journal invitation etc.). Results: The topics of spams addressed to laymen are offered for perfect healing by strange treatments, cures (31%), panaceas (19%), lifestyle advice (19%), massage (16%), brand new health-care devices (4%) and drugs for sexual dysfunction (11%). The topics of spams addressed to physicians and researchers are deluged by pseudoscientific materials: invitation for articles to be sent to no-name/fake open-access journals (68%), invitation to participate at an obscure congress (27%) or newsletters on miscellanous medical topics (5%). Conclusion: The spams offer very often relief or solution to medical problems that the present-day medical practice cannot solve perfectly (oncological, musculo-sceletal, endocrin or metabolic problems). Understandably, the patients would hold on to fake hopes – and the authentic patient education and health promotion will be neglected. These unwanted messages practically cannot be unsubscribed, and – while the spam filters are far from perfection – the victim must go through the filtered spam-dustbin in order not to miss some real messages. Unfortunately no legal regulation (neither local, nor GDPR) can block or stop the spams. The spams are misleading the laymen and jeopardise the effects of professional and responsible health promotion and health education. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(43): 1706–1710.
Pretransplant Kinetics of Anti-HLA Antibodies in Patients on the Waiting List for Kidney Transplantation

Published: October 2019

Significance Statement
Because the presence of pretransplant donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies is associated with increased organ rejection risk, patients on transplant waiting lists are regularly monitored for changes in their alloimmune status. In this retrospective analysis, the authors investigated the dynamics of anti-HLA antibodies over time in patients on a kidney transplant waiting list. Their findings show that the kinetics of alloimmunity are highly individualized and do not appear to correlate with the interval between measurements. However, the magnitude of alloimmune status change increased significantly in patients with a previous transplant versus those without such a history. This suggests that an individualized strategy for alloimmune status monitoring of patients on organ transplant waiting lists on the basis of their alloimmunization history might be preferable to current recommendations for regular monitoring.

Background
Patients on organ transplant waiting lists are evaluated for preexisting alloimmunity to minimize episodes of acute and chronic rejection by regularly monitoring for changes in alloimmune status. There are few studies on how alloimmunity changes over time in patients on kidney allograft waiting lists, and an apparent lack of research-based evidence supporting currently used monitoring intervals.

Methods
To investigate the dynamics of alloimmune responses directed at HLA antigens, we retrospectively evaluated data on anti-HLA antibodies measured by the single-antigen bead assay from 627 waitlisted patients who subsequently received a kidney transplant at University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, between 2008 and 2017. Our analysis focused on a filtered dataset comprising 467 patients who had at least two assay measurements.

Results
Within the filtered dataset, we analyzed potential changes in mean fluorescence intensity values (reflecting bound anti-HLA antibodies) between consecutive measurements for individual patients in relation to the time interval between measurements. Using multiple approaches, we found no correlation between these two factors. However, when we stratified the dataset on the basis of documented previous immunizing events (transplant, pregnancy, or transfusion), we found significant differences in the magnitude of change in alloimmune status, especially among patients with a previous transplant versus patients without such a history. Further efforts to cluster patients according to statistical properties related to alloimmune status kinetics were unsuccessful, indicating considerable complexity in individual variability.

Conclusions
Alloimmune kinetics in patients on a kidney transplant waiting list do not appear to be related to the interval between measurements, but are instead associated with alloimmunization history. This suggests that an individualized strategy for alloimmune status monitoring may be preferable to currently used intervals.
