Process Model of Public Policy Development of Urban Revitalization
Authors: HORBLIUK Serhii 
Published: February 2021

At the present stage, it is not possible to ensure the sustainable development of the country without the application of innovative urban development policies. One of them is the policy of urban revitalization, which is aimed at overcoming the spatial, economic, social, cultural, environmental crisis of the functioning of degraded urban areas.
The purpose of the article is to determine the essence of the public policy of urban revitalization and to develop its process model, which will help to understand the sequence of specific actions and principles of relevant activities.
The study presents a process model of public policy of the urban revitalization. It reflects the sequence of measures to restore the degraded urban area, as well as the principles to be followed at each stage of the policy and in general. According to the model, the process of public policy of the urban revitalization includes four stages:
– preparation for the degraded areas restoration,
– development of the urban revitalization program,
– implementation of the urban revitalization program,
– evaluation of the public policy of urban revitalization.
The public policy of urban revitalization is carried out on basic and specific principles.
Basic and specific principles should be followed for the effective implementation of the public policy of urban revitalization. Among the basic principles should be noted: subsidiarity, inclusiveness, smart growth, sustainable development. The specific principles of the urban revitalization policy include:
– territorially concentrated influence,
– integration and spatial synergy,
– participation and multilevel locally oriented partnership.
Despite the lack of practice in the preparation of urban revitalization programs, the proposed model of public policy of urban revitalization can be implemented in Ukrainian conditions. To accelerate the restoration process of degraded urban areas, it is necessary to regulate the issue of urban revitalization in domestic legislation and create financial mechanisms to support revitalization programs.

Recently, in Bangladesh, Chikungunya (CHIK) infection emerged as an important public health issue. Previously, it was not routinely tested by the physician, thus it might remain undiagnosed. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to find out Chikungunya infection in Holy Family Hospital, Dhaka among clinically suspected cases who were sent by the clinicians during rainy season. For detection of Chikungunya infection, a total of 147 serum samples were tested for IgM and IgG of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) by Immuno chromatographic test (ICT). Out of which 64 (43.5%) samples were positive for Chikungunya infection (positive defined as a person with IgM and or IgG antibody). Of the 64 sero-positive cases, 34 (53.1%), 6 (9.4%) and 24 (37.5%) were positive for only IgM, only IgG and both IgM & IgG antibody respectively. Male were affected higher (51.56%) than female (48.44%). The infection was more common in 31-45 years, 46-60 years and more than 60 years of age groups which was 26.6%, 25% and 26.6% respectively In this study, it was found that among suspected cases of Chikungunya, sero positive cases were 43.5% which was about half of the suspected cases. This finding suggests that, there is need of screening of chikungunya virus and also need of appropriate strategies to control the disease as early as possible.

Published: February 2021

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic infections that mainly affect the liver leading to hepatic fibrosis followed by development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Several factors including HCV genotype have been proposed to associate with the clinical outcome of HCV infection.This study was aimed to determine whetherthere is any significant differencein HCV viral load and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) in relation to genotypesin HCV infected Bangladeshi patients.After quantification of HCV viral load, 36 samples were randomly selected for HCV genotyping and ALT measurement.Themean HCV viral load of genotype 1 infected patients was 14.11±6.77[log10 (copies/ml)] while it was 12.80±2.05[log10 (copies/ml)] for genotype 3 infected patients. The mean ALT level of genotype 1 and genotype 3 infected patients were 51.2±34.4 U/L and 89.6±86.6U/L respectively. There was no significant statistical difference in serum ALT or plasma viral load between genotype 1 and genotype 3 infected patients.In HCV infection, genotype may have no relation to viral load and serum ALT level among Bangladeshi patients.

Published: February 2021

The study aimed to evaluate the association of recreational (habitual) physical activities with the osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in the female. The case-control study was carried out at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka in the year 2016 and 2017. The total participants were 174 female selected purposively with the age range of 40 – 70 years, among them 87 were the cases with OA of the knee, and the same number of the same age group were included as the control without OA of the knee. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. High level of physical activities (20 or more miles per week) was associated with OA of the knee, whereas moderate level of physical activities (10-20 miles/per week) and low level of physical activities (<10miles/per week) had no significant association with the OA of the knee. This study reveled the relationship of the physical activity and OA of the knee. Continue physical activity according to the public health guideline, may eliminate this such physical problem for the general health promotion and particularly to prevent the OA of the knee.

Published: February 2021

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune inflammatory disorder that is characterized by joint inflammation, erosive properties and symmetric multiple joint involvement. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is very rare to be affected in the early phase of the disease, thus posing diagnostic challenges for the rheumatologist. TMJ complaints are present in about more than 50% of patients of RA. TMJ is usually among the last joint to be involved and is associated with many clinical signs and symptoms of which pain is a major problem leading to inflammation, limited movements, swelling, joint stiffness, and muscle spasm. Here reported case is 64 years old male, ex-smoker, diagnosed case of diabetes mellitus for 7 years, hypertension for 2 years, came to hospital with the complains of pain in left jaw for 1 year. He had no history of other joint pain, morning stiffness or any deformities. The patient was diagnosed as a case of rheumatoid arthritis on the basis of inflammatory monoarthritis with high titer positive RA factor and anti CCP. The patient gradually improved after treatment with methotrexate. Inflammatory markers like ESR dropped down with the clinical improvement. TMJ is seldom joint to be affected first in the disease course.

Cardiac cephalgia is a migraine like headache that occurs during episodes of myocardial ischaemia. Although most of the patients presenting with ischaemic heart disease have chest pain, there are other rare presenting symptoms like cardiac cephalgia. Headache can be the only presentation of coronary artery disease. We report a case of a 57 years-old man, Presenting with only headache during brisk walking, Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) was positive for Electrocardiograph (ECG) evidence of provocable myocardial ischemia, who latter was diagnosed as double vessel coronary artery diseaseon Coronary Angiogram (CAG). As the patient preferred remaining without revascularization, he was put onto optimum medical management for ischaemic heart disease. A follow up visit after one month revealed, marked improvement of the headache with anti anginal medications. Early evaluation and diagnosis of the headache symptom should be done because treatment with anti-migraine drugs may deteriorate headache and undermine the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.

Published: February 2021

O cálice de hibisco é rico em ácido málico, antocianinas, ácido ascórbico, cálcio e ferro, o que o torna um ingrediente interessante, tanto seco como na forma de extrato em pó, de alimentos funcionais que auxiliam na promoção da saúde, bem-estar físico e mental. A secagem é uma operação unitária que agrega praticidade ao consumo de diversos alimentos, tendo ainda a vantagem de concentrar os seus compostos ativos, devido a remoção de umidade do material, estendendo sua vida útil, sem a necessidade de refrigeração, pela redução da atividade de água. O estudo da cinética de secagem traz informações importantes para o projeto e desenho de secadores, assim como, para a modelagem e simulação dos processos. Neste sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a cinética de secagem convectiva de cálices de hibisco utilizando uma estufa de secagem com convecção forçada de ar. Os cálices de hibisco foram dispostos em bandejas e submetidos à secagem nas temperaturas de 50, 60 e 70 oC até peso constante. As amostras foram caracterizadas quanto à umidade e atividade de água. Cinco modelos matemáticos foram ajustados às curvas de secagem aplicando-se e o programa Microsoft Excel. O modelo de Page foi o que melhor descreveu o comportamento de secagem dos cálices de hibisco e dados estatísticos. Somente a taxa de secagem decrescente foi observada, com alta taxa no início da secagem, sendo gradualmente reduzida até o final do processo.

Еволюція питання Південно-Китайського моря у трикутнику інтересів Китай - держави АСЕАН - США
Authors: Тихоненко Ірина , Євтушенко Владислав 
Published: February 2021

У статті розглянуто історичний розвиток ситуації у Південно-Китайському морі у ХХ – початку ХХІ ст. Питання Південно-Китайського моря висвітлено крізь призму взаємодії Китай – держави АСЕАН – США. Виявлено два рівня взаємодії: 1) територіальні суперечки між Китаєм і державами Південно-Східної Азії, насамперед, у форматі протистояння Китай-В’єтнам і Китай-Філіппіни; 2) активне залучення з 2009 р. до субрегіону США та формування нової осі протидії КНР-США.
Розглянуто хронологію загострень ситуації у Південно-Китайському морі, низку інцидентів і риторику між державами під впливом такої конфліктогенності. Автори дійшли висновку про циклічність ситуації у Південно-Китайському морі, яка проявляється у перманентному її загостренні через тиск Китаю та його непорушну позицію щодо одноосібного володіння цим простором, незважаючи на рішення Міжнародного суду відповідно до норм міжнародного права (новий цикл загострення у 2020 р.), а також переведення цього простору у сферу протистояння Китаю з США, в якому держави АСЕАН мають проводити більш гнучку політику – відстоювати свої інтереси, але не загострювати відносини з Китаєм, який є вагомим торговельним партнером й у 2020 р. все більше використовує політику тиску і «м’якої сили», зважаючи на світову пандемію.
Загострення протиріч у підготовці Угоди про асоціацію України з ЄС (липень-жовтень 2013 р.)
Authors: Денисенко Вадим 
Published: February 2021

Розкривається поглиблення проблем навколо підписання Угоди про асоціацію України з Європейським Союзом. Детально відтворено збільшення економічного та дипломатичного тиску російської влади на Віктора Януковича з метою зірвати підписання угоди. Це включало в себе включення частини українських підприємств до «чорного списку» митниці РФ і прямий шантаж російської верхівки.
На основі даних періодики реконструйовано процес переговорів між українською владою та представниками Європарламенту щодо умов звільнення Юлії Тимошенко. Виокремлено основні плани вирішення проблеми Ю. Тимошенко: часткове помилування (зменшення строку покарання, виплата штрафу та позбавлення громадянських прав на три роки) та лікування за кордоном (зміна законодавства з метою зробити легальним залишення країни в’язнем у випадку необхідності лікування у зарубіжних закладах). Підкреслено, що В. Янукович віддавав перевагу першому варіанту, що гарантував неучасть Тимошенко у президентських виборах 2015 р. Однак у підсумку він використав проблему ув’язнення найбільш впливового опозиційного лідера задля затягування переговорів з ЄС, без бажання продовжувати рух до Європи на фоні зростання російського тиску та відвертих погроз керівництва РФ.
Проаналізовано роль європейських політиків у спробах вирішити переговорну кризу, зокрема ролі Пета Кокса, Александра Кваснєвського, Радослава Сікорського та Карла Більдта. Відтворено позицію Юлії Тимошенко та її оточення щодо планів звільнення з ув’язнення: намір боротися за відновленні громадянських прав у випадку часткового помилування, згода відкласти вирішення проблеми на більш пізній термін в обмін підписання угоди про асоціацію з ЄС. Доведено, що режим Януковича обрав шлях зближення з РФ як спосіб уникнути поразки на президентських виборах 2015 р. та через страх внаслідок погроз російської верхівки.

Authors: Sampa Mutale , Musukuma Mwiche , Fisa Ronald , Musonda Patrick , Young Taryn 
Published: February 2021

Background: Adolescent girls dropping out of school may lead to gender inequality, high illiteracy levels, single motherhood, unemployment, and many more undesirable outcomes that inhabit human capital development for girls. It is therefore important to put measures in place to support adolescent girls to stay in school. The objectives of the scoping review were to identify and describe the types of studies conducted to assess interventions for keeping adolescent girls in school and to describe these interventions in low- and middle-income countries.Methods and Results: A comprehensive search was done in Epistemonikos, Social Science Citation index, Embase, OVID Medline, the Campbell Collaboration Library, and CENTRAL in March 2020. The search yielded 3,295 studies of which 18 studies were eligible for inclusion. All the 18 included studies were primary studies, and 12 out of these were randomized controlled studies. The other study designs of included studies were mixed-methods longitudinal design, random evaluation, cross section, etc. The interventions in the included studies were categorized as follows: provision of funding, school-based interventions for learners, community-based interventions, and education systems intervention. Provision of school fees, and other school supplies have shown evidence of reducing school dropouts, increasing enrolments and school attendance, while interventions like hygiene promotion and water treatment in a study done in Kenya found no significant evidence to support the observed effect on school attendance.Conclusion: The scoping review found that several primary studies have been done on interventions to keep adolescent girls in school. However, there is need for more research to be done. Therefore, the authors propose to conduct a systematic review on the effect of provision of sanitary towels to adolescent girls on school retention in low- and middle-income countries.
