DYNAMICS OF MATERNAL SERUM BLOOD LEPTIN LEVEL DURING PREGNANCY COMPLICATED WITH HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM
Authors: Ostafiichuk S. O. 
Published: October 2021

Hyperemesis gravidarum, a pregnancy-related condition characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, occurs in 0.5 % to 2 % of all pregnancies. Hyperemesis gravidarum causes dehydration, electrolyte and metabolic disorders, nutritional deficiency, leading to ketonuria and/or ketonemia. Progressive deterioration requires hospitalization and drug therapy, associated with decreased patient quality of life and depression, increased risk of preterm delivery and the birth of small for gestational age children. There are studies that indicate the effect of hyperemesis gravidarum on insufficient gestational weight gain (GWG), but the metabolic support of this relationship requires further study.
Aim. To determine the dynamics of serum blood leptin level in women during pregnancy, complicated by hyperemesis gravidarum, in relation to gestational weight gain.
Materials and methods. A prospective study was carried out at the Ivano-Frankivsk City Clinical Perinatal Center, Ukraine. 109 pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum were included and 54 pregnant without hyperemesis gravidarum as a control group. Prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) was 20.2±1.8 kg/m2, which corresponded to the normal weight due to recommendations of the Institute of medicine in the USA (2009) and the Order of the ministry of health of Ukraine № 417 (2011). Exclusion criteria: age up to 18 years, multiple pregnancy, pregnant women with delivery before 37 weeks, vomiting after 22 weeks of pregnancy, the presence of severe chronic somatic diseases. Examination of women was performed in each trimester of pregnancy (9-12, 22-24, 37-40 weeks). BMI was calculated by the Kettle formula (1865): the ratio of body weight (kg) to the square of height (m2). Quantitative determination of leptin in serum was performed by ELISA Kit (CAN-L-4260, Canada). Statistical analyses were carried out using "Statistica 6.0" (StatSoft Inc., USA) and a Microsoft Excel-based statistical analysis package. The differences between the selections were considered statistically reliable at p<0.05 (Tukey’s test).
Results. Serum blood leptin level of the patients with hyperemesis gravidarum was found to be significantly higher in 1.3 times in the second trimester (p<0.01) and in 1.5 times in the third trimester (p<0.05) compared to early terms, but in mid-pregnancy the concentration of leptin was 1.2 times significantly lower those in the control group (p<0.05). In the second trimester in the group with hyperemesis gravidarum the chances of insufficient GWG in 3 times (OR=3,01; 95% CI: 1,34-6,80; p<0,05) were diagnosed higher (in 41 (37.6%) pregnant women against 9 (16.7%) in the control group). A positive correlation was found between the concentration of leptin in the second trimester and GWG in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum (r=0.83, p<0.001).
Conclusions. Decreased maternal leptin levels in the second trimester with hyperemesis gravidarum may be a predictor of insufficient gestational weight gain.
The Functionality of Mobile Apps for Anxiety: Systematic Search and Analysis of Engagement and Tailoring Features
Authors: Balaskas Andreas , Schueller Stephen M , Cox Anna L , Doherty Gavin 
Published: October 2021

Background
A range of mobile apps for anxiety have been developed in response to the high prevalence of anxiety disorders. Although the number of publicly available apps for anxiety is increasing, attrition rates among mobile apps are high. These apps must be engaging and relevant to end users to be effective; thus, engagement features and the ability to tailor delivery to the needs of individual users are key. However, our understanding of the functionality of these apps concerning engagement and tailoring features is limited.

Objective
The aim of this study is to review how cognitive behavioral elements are delivered by anxiety apps and their functionalities to support user engagement and tailoring based on user needs.

Methods
A systematic search for anxiety apps described as being based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was conducted on Android and iPhone marketplaces. Apps were included if they mentioned the use of CBT for anxiety-related disorders. We identified 597 apps, of which 36 met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed through direct use.

Results
Cognitive behavioral apps for anxiety incorporate a variety of functionalities, offer several engagement features, and integrate low-intensity CBT exercises. However, the provision of features to support engagement is highly uneven, and support is provided only for low-intensity CBT treatment. Cognitive behavioral elements combine various modalities to deliver intervention content and support the interactive delivery of these elements. Options for personalization are limited and restricted to goal selection upon beginning use or based on self-monitoring entries. Apps do not appear to provide individualized content to users based on their input.

Conclusions
Engagement and tailoring features can be significantly expanded in existing apps, which make limited use of social features and clinical support and do not use sophisticated features such as personalization based on sensor data. To guide the evolution of these interventions, further research is needed to explore the effectiveness of different types of engagement features and approaches to tailoring therapeutic content.

Rolul domiciliului în responsabilitatea socială a grupurilor transnaționale de societăți în Uniunea Europeană
Authors: Ungureanu Carmen Tamara 
Published: October 2021

Ca efect al globalizării și al dezvoltării tehnologice, societățile din Uniunea Europeană (UE) și-au extins activitățile dincolo de piața unică europeană, formând grupuri transnaționale de societăți (GTS). GTS influențează economia statelor, această influență având atât aspecte pozitive, cât și negative. Responsabilitatea socială a societății (Corporate Social Responsibility) intervine în vederea înlăturării efectelor negative, care rezultă, în principal, din încălcarea drepturilor omului și din încălcarea regulilor privind protecția mediului înconjurător.
Forma clasică a GTS este aceea a unui grup de societăți în care o societate-mamă controlează filialele ei prin intermediul acțiunilor sau altor forme de proprietate. În această lucrare vom avea în vedere societățile-mamă sau societățile dominante din grup cu domiciliul/sediul în UE și cu filiale sau societăți dependente având domiciliul/sediul în state terțe UE. Vom arăta, utilizând mecanismele dreptului internațional privat, că societatea-mamă cu sediul în UE poate fi trasă la răspundere pentru prejudiciile cauzate de o filială a sa cu sediul într-un stat terț. Vom prezenta câteva spețe emblematice soluționate de instanțe din UE, care ilustrează schimbarea de paradigmă în spațiul UE cu privire la responsabilitatea socială a GTS. În final, vor fi analizate succint evoluțiile legislative la nivelul UE și a unor state membre.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Analysing environmental impacts of mining activities involves detailed studies of the interactions between technological activities/operations carried out in a mining operation and environmental components affected by them. In order to carry out a more complex environmental impact assessment caused by mining in the eastern part of Jiu Valley on soil and water 4 mining units have been considered in the study, these being mining unit Lonea, Petrila, and Livezeni with their belonging dumps.
Main objective of this research is to analyse the impact caused by mining activities in Eastern part of Jiu Valley by the method of impact networks according to the model “causes - pressures, depreciation of the quality of environmental factors – affected parameters - impact”. Thus, impacts caused by the mining industry were identified based on the top-down typology, being shaped impact networks for underground coal exploitation and sterile material storage on the surface. The metal content of the dumps was also analysed in order to assess the degree of metals soil enrichment compared to the reference concentration of a blank sample. The analysis of the influence of the local rainfall regime aims to highlight the leaching potential of heavy metals in the body of the dump and the possibility of analysing the scenarios of extension of the pollution phenomenon to the saturated area. The study is addressed to researchers, environmental engineers, hydrogeologists and geologists who want to deepen the study of transfer mechanisms of contaminants from dumps to watercourses receiving areas and their dispersion in unsaturated and saturated areas.
Motivation as an indicator of performance and productivity from the perspective of employees
Authors: Uka Ana , Prendi Ardita 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Motivation plays a crucial role on employees’ performance. Though organizations have an interest in keeping the employees motivated at work, they do not always have the complete picture on what indeed motivates an employee. Scholars agree that money (including employees’ wages) significantly affects employees’ performance and productivity, but they do not unanimously place it among the strongest determinants of employee motivation. The main purpose of this work was to explore the factors influencing the true motivation of employees to enhance their performance and productivity at work. This study employed a quantitative research design based on data collected during the severe period of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 110 participants, of which 38 (34.5%) males 72 (65.5%) females working in different companies in Albania. The results showed a moderate level of satisfaction and motivation at work and a significant correlation between the motivation and success of the company. Additionally, the data indicated that most of the participants were satisfied with the financial allowances, but that they aspired to have higher wages and better workplace conditions. Therefore, higher salaries, extra bonuses and the promotion in their role at work or recognition and appreciation seem to be very important motivational factors for the employees. Finally, this study proposes recommendations for companies on how to implement different strategies to increase employees’ motivation and enhance the business effectiveness. This study analyses data collected during the global pandemic and would serve as reference for periods associated with dire financial difficulty.
Phenomenology of Phantasy and Fiction: Some Remarks Towards a Unified Account
Authors: Alves Pedro M. S. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
I offer an outline of an integrated phenomenological analysis of free fantasy and of fictional worlds. My main concern amounts to stress the scissions entailed in free fantasy and in the consciousness of fictional objects: a scission of the I, and a scission of the experience. Firstly, I offer a somewhat new characterization of the presence of the objects of free fantasy, which disconnects any possible relationship of those objects with a real perception as the leading form of an originally giving consciousness. My leading example is daydream. Secondly, I take the Husserlian analysis of neutralization as a conceptual tool to explain the consciousness of fictional worlds, against a new tendency for interpreting these worlds in light of the concept of “possible world”. The two approaches converge to a twofold characterization of the mode of being of fictions and of the modality of presence of the objects of fantasy.
