Published: December 2021

Introduction. The metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota is an important indicator of the functioning of the digestive tract, one of the main functions of which is the absorption of nutrients.The aim of the study was to analyze the content of short chain fatty acids in feces and assess their relationship with the indicators of physical development in children 3 years of age.Materials and methods. A prospective cohort study was conducted in 89 children 3rd year of life. The 1st observation group included children of the I and II health groups, the children of the 2nd group underwent surgical treatment on the intestine in the first months of life, the children of the3rd group are with atopic dermatitis. FD assessment was carried out in accordance with WHO recommendations (2017) the spectrum of FGC in feces was determined by gas-liquid chromatography.Results. It was determined the features of the rates of FD in healthy children, children with a history of intestinal resection and children with atopy in relation to the indicators of metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota. The percentile distribution of the values of FGC in feces and their comparative assessment in the observation groups are given.Discussion. The content of FGM in feces has differences depending on the health status of children of the 3rd year of life. Different level of FGC shows a close relationship with the indicators of FD. Conclusions. A decrease in growth rates (body length SD: from -1 to -2) was revealed at low values (<25%) of the amount of acids, with an increase in propionate (25%) in feces. Reduced nutrition (body weight SD: from -1 to -2) it was associated with low values of the sum of isoacids and AI(-) (<25%); by 3rd year of life, the risk of low nutrition decreased in 4 times with high values (75%) of the sum of acids in feces (OR=4.33[1.09-17.71]). The multidirectionality of the content of fecal matter in young children and their influence on the indicators of FD emphasizes the versatility of the functions of the intestinal microbiota, which has a local and systemic effect on the human body.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. Atrophic scars are common in acne patients. Regardless of their number and size, they are persistent defects and reduce patients' quality of life. With a variety of treatment options, effective scar correction remains a challenge. Laser technology continues to evolve and is considered promising for the treatment of scars.The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the fractional laser ablation method in patients with atrophic postacne scars using the quantitative postacne scar index.Materials and methods. The study involved 60 patients with ARP of II-IV severity, 35 women and 25 men. The patients underwent fractional ablation of scars with an Erbium laser (2940 nm). To assess the scars before and after treatment, we used the post-acne scar severity index according to the quantitative assessment scale according to G.J. Goodman et al. Goodman et al. (2006). The international scales Patient's Satisfaction Score, Physician's Satisfaction Score, and Definitive Graduated Score were used to assess physician and patient satisfaction with the results of the procedures.Results. The quantitative index of postacne scars before treatment ranged from 4.0 to 16.0 points and averaged 10.9±3.56 points; median was 12.0 points (8.0±13.0 points). After fractional laser ablation procedures, improvement of quantitative indexes scores (p<0.05), positive dynamics of the doctor's and patients' evaluation of procedure results were noted; no gender differences were noted.Discussion. Quantitative indices of scar expression reflect the severity of the affected skin areas in patients with postacne. This study confirms the effectiveness of fractional ablation with the Erbium laser in patients with ARP, which is confirmed by a decrease in quantitative scar severity indices. Dynamic growth of PSS, PhSS, DGS indices testifies to high satisfaction of the physician and the patient with the results of treatment and correlates with regression of clinical manifestations in these patients.Conclusion. Despite the limitations and laboriousness of counting quantitative indices of postacne scars, this approach allowed to establish and objectify the clinical efficacy of treatment of patients with ARP by fractionated ablation.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. The literature review deals with the effects of ionizing radiation and radiation on the body of medical personnel.Materials and methods. 50 actual sources were analyzed. The relevance of the study of the constant, long-term influence of low doses of radiation is shown, in view of the increasing use of sources of ionizing radiation in various fields of scientific and practical human activity, including medicine.Results. Thanks to the analysis of numerous literature data, it was revealed that operating doctors, who are faced in their work with sources of ionizing radiation, often do not have a sufficient level of protection of the thyroid tissue from radiation. It was revealed that the overwhelming majority of studies highlighting thyroid pathology in medical personnel working with X-rays are aimed at identifying the risks of thyroid cancer and does not take into account the pathology of non-tumor genesis. Analyzed the data of scientific publications, allowing to draw a conclusion about the effects of chronic exposure to ionizing radiation, namely X-rays, in low doses on the thyroid tissue from a morphological and functional point of view.Discussion. It was established on the basis of the analysis of experimental data that under the influence of low-dose X-ray radiation, the intercellular contacts of thyrocytes are disconnected, which can lead to a decrease in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and, as a consequence, to the development of hypothyroidism.Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the experimental data, it has been established that under the influence of low-dose X-rays there is a disconnection of intercellular contacts of thyrocytes, which may lead to a decrease in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and, consequently, to the development of hypothyroidism.
Black-hole waves at corners of a metallic particle
Authors: Bonnet-BenDhia Anne-Sophie 
Published: December 2021

In this talk, we consider electromagnetic waves in presence of a metallic inclusion with corners, assuming that the dielectric permittivity has a very small imaginary part, that will be neglected, and a negative real part. Due to the sign-change of the dielectric permittivity, very unusual singular phenomena take place at corners. In particular, for some configurations, a part of the energy may be trapped by the corners: this is the so-called blackhole effect [1]. In this presentation, we first give a mathematical analysis of this blackhole phenomenon, based on a detailed description of the corner’s singularities, in the 2D case.
This phenomenon leads to numerical instabilities of finite element simulations. The solution that we have found and validated is to introduce a complex scaling at the corners. Finally, we compute the plasmonic eigenvalues of a 2D subwavelength particle with a corner [2]. While a smooth particle has a discrete sequence of eigenvalues, blackhole waves at the corner lead to the presence of an essential spectrum filling an interval. Numerical results show that the complex scaling deforms this essential spectrum, so as to unveil both embedded eigenvalues and complex plasmonic resonances. The latter are analogous to well-known complex scattering resonances, with the local behaviour at the corner playing the role of the behaviour at infinity.
Waves in elastic chiral lattice systems
Authors: Movchan Natasha 
Published: December 2021

The lecture gives an overview of the recent work on a new class of chiral elastic waves in lattice systems. It is based on the recent joint work with G. Carta, I. Jones and A. Movchan. One can distinguish between geometrically chiral structures and physically chiral structures, and our emphasis here is on physical chirality whose presence is reflected in the governing equations, whatever the geometry of the overall structure is. The analysis of the dispersion properties reveals a new class of vortex waveforms that characterise the dynamic response of the chiral elastic system and shows the dynamic anisotropy. Special attention is given to the defect modes and chiral Green’s function for discrete systems.
Gender Equality, Women’s Political Representation, and Maternal Mortality: Lessons from Indonesia
Authors: Halimatusa’diyah Iim , Arif Sirojuddin 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Many studies have shown that gender equality and women’s political representation lead to better health outcomes, including a lower rate of maternal mortality. Nevertheless, we still lack a clear understanding of the causal mechanism linking gender equality and politics to maternal health. Besides, most of the studies on this subject suffer from a whole nation bias as they focus on the national level. Using a structural equation model (SEM) analysis, this article examines the effect of gender equality and women’s political representation on disparities in maternal mortality across regions in Indonesia. Compared to districts with a lower level of gender equality, the results reveal that districts with a higher level of gender equality were more likely to have a lower rate of maternal mortality. The effect was mediated by increases in the utilization of maternal health care services made possible by higher rates of gender equality. However, our findings show no strong evidence in support of women’s political representation effects on reducing maternal mortality. Thus, the findings of this study suggest the primacy of gender equality in improving maternal health.
Feminist Perspectives on Microfinance and Women’s Empowerment
Authors: Oberhauser Ann M. , Aladuwaka Seela 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This article examines microfinance as a development strategy designed to empower women and reduce poverty in the Global South. The discussion draws from feminism and development to critically analyze these lending programs in the context of persistent gender inequities and economic marginalization of women. Scholars, policymakers, and practitioners have different perspectives on the effectiveness of microfinance programs. Proponents of microfinance argue that these economic interventions assist in the development of small-scale economic activities, improve gender dynamics in households and communities, and empower women. In contrast, critics describe microfinance as an extension of neoliberal capitalism that exploits rather than empowers participants by increasing their debt burden and other forms of exploitation. The analysis addresses sociospatial and economic aspects of microfinance programs by examining the different approaches as reported in the empirical studies of microfinance programs that target women in the Global South. The discussion focuses on how microfinance impacts and is related to the following dimensions of women’s empowerment: economic empowerment and poverty reduction; investment and consumption; and decision-making and self-esteem. We argue that microfinance programs are embedded in and influence diverse aspects of these economic interventions in the development process. The conclusion summarizes how agency and change associated with these programs offer the potential for women’s empowerment at various scales and within diverse contexts of development.
Building a Virtual Community: Confession Magazines in French Canada
Authors: Luneau Marie-Pier , Warren Jean-Philippe 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT
This article considers confessional magazines as “virtual communities.” Published from 1943 to 1957, Histoires vraies was a low-brow magazine that replicated True Story's success in French Canada. Like Bernarr Macfadden's True Story, Histoires vraies was entirely or mostly composed of short sentimental stories generated by its readers. Overall, our article sheds light on how, in 1950s Quebec, a virtual community was created to help readers cope with profound social change, offering both a space of liberty and empowerment and an institution of social control.
“Letter from London”: Mollie Panter-Downes Brings World War to theNew Yorker
Authors: Derdiger Paula 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTThis article argues that, through her regular “Letter from London” column, British writer Mollie Panter-Downes was a key figure in transforming “The New Yorker” from a humorous weekly into a serious venue for literature and political content after World War II. This transformation, moreover, involved a recasting of individual experience in terms of global realities. Total war necessitated language and style that would make vast, seemingly incomprehensible events meaningful, but not overwhelming, to the individual subject. Drawing on material from the New Yorker records at the New York Public Library, I show how Panter-Downes's literary journalistic aesthetic facilitated this sea-change.
Midwestern Magazine Modernism: Recovering Samuel Pessin and The Milwaukee Arts Monthly/Prairie
Authors: K. Young John 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT
This article recovers the history of Milwaukee modernist Samuel Pessin and his short-lived magazine, Milwaukee Arts Monthly, retitled as Prairie upon a move to Chicago (1922–23). Pessin's magazine is of contemporary interest for the wide range of figures published in its pages, associated with modernist movements in Milwaukee, Chicago, and across Europe. This history should contribute to the ongoing reorientation of modernist studies away from its conventional geographical and cultural centers. This article is also the first account of Pessin, who has remained a mysterious and marginal figure.

Published: December 2021

PURPOSE. To assess the hypotensive effectiveness, frequency and nature of intra- and postoperative complications in patients with various clinical manifestations of refractory glaucoma.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study included 196 patients (196 eyes) with various forms, stages and clinical manifestations of glaucoma. There were 142 patients with primary glaucoma, among them 120 with open-angle glaucoma and 22 with angle-closure glaucoma. Among the patients with primary glaucoma, 85 had pseudophakia (77 with openangle and 8 with angle-closure forms); 57 had a native lens (43 with open-angle and 14 with angle-closure forms of the disease). Secondary glaucoma was presented mainly by patients with neovascular (21) and postuveal (16) glaucoma. The intraocular pressure (IOP) level in the group as a whole ranged from 16 to 50 mm Hg (on average 30.1±2.6 mm Hg). In all presented cases of surgical intervention, the Glautex drainage was used, which is a bioresorbable composite biomaterial based on polylactic acid (polylactide) and polyethylene glycol (manufactured by “HiBiTech”, Russia). Standard methods of patient examination were used. RESULTS.In patients with POAG, the IOP averaged 13.7± 4.7 mm Hg one week after surgery and 16.1±3 mm Hg 12 months after surgery. The absolute success of the operation was noted in 71 patients with POAG (59.2%); the relative hypotensive effect — in 85.8%. In primary angle-closure glaucoma, the same indicators were 47.6 and 61.1%, respectively. In the group of patients with neovascular and postuveal glaucoma, the hypotensive effect was as expected lower and amounted to 42.8 and 50.0%, respectively. The restart of therapy at different periods of observation was done in 78.3%. Complications, their frequency and nature, noted by us in the operated patients, could be attributed to those typical for fistulizing operations in refractory glaucoma. The most common complication was ciliochoroidal detachment, which was seen in all groups, but percentage-wise was more common in patients with PACG, neovascular and postuveal glaucoma.CONCLUSION. Composite drainage based on polylactic acid (polylactide) and polyethylene glycol (glautex) is an effective and safe solution to the issue of surgical treatment of glaucoma. The antihypertensive effectiveness of the Glautex drainage implant depends on the severity of the glaucomatous process and the timeliness of the surgical intervention. The frequency and nature of complications depends on the degree of refractoriness of glaucoma, initial clinical characteristics of the process, and patients' multimorbidity.
