Published: February 2019

Bryophytes possess a wide ecological diapason allowing them to populate substrates of technogenic origins which are scarcely suitable or completely unsuitable for viability of vascular plants. 49 bryophyte species, which belong to 2 divisions, 3 classes, 8 orders, 17 families, and 33 genera have been found on the dump territory of sulphur extraction of the mining-chemical enterprise “Sirka” (Yavoriv district, Lviv region). Seven transects, three on the north slope (base, slope, top), three on the south slope and one on the plateau were laid for sample selections. 20 investigated 0.5 × 0.5 m plots located 2 m apart were analyzed within each 10 × 10 m transect. Specific composition, life forms, projective cover, biomass of bryophytes, numbers of male, female and sterile plants, moisture content in the turfs, pH and physiological investigation of mosses were determined on each plot. The quantitative analysis of the biomorphological structure allowed us to establish the dependence of the spread of life forms on exposition and slope height; essential variability of the projective cover and moss biomass. Bryophyte cover plays an essential part in optimization of the moisture regime and surface layer temperature of technogenic substrates, improving the conditions of growth localities. We established that on the dump the dominant moss species are dioecious with a high level of reproductive effort (sexual and sexless), with short ontogenesis and age of first reproduction, which provides the chance to produce the maximum number of progeny in the minimum period and to form a complete moss cover. The analysis of seasonal moss photosynthesis dynamics has demonstrated the adaptability of moss photosynthetic apparatus to contrasting climatic conditions and the ability to support the intensity of photosynthetic processes on a rather stable level during the vegetative period. Our research showed that bryophytes play an important role in productivity of plant cover on the post-technogenic territories of sulphur extraction. It was found that bryophytes play a role in accumulation of organic carbon and biogenic elements in the substrate of the sulphur extraction dump . Carrying out research of specific composition dynamics and species activity is the precondition for revealing the essence of the dynamic processes taking place in the structure of the bryophyte communities on devastated territories and the influence of these processes on the formation of vegetation on dump complexes.
A Review of the Genus Lipolexis Förster, 1862 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in the Fauna of Ukraine
Authors: Kaliuzhna M. O. 
Published: February 2019

Genus Lipolexis Förster, 1862 is represented by four species in the world fauna and only one species, Lipolexis gracilis Förster, 1862, in the fauna of Europe, and Ukraine as well. Data on the genus Lipolexis and its species L. gracilis are presented according to available published information and material from collection of I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, NAS of Ukraine, identified by author. Lipolexis gracilis is distributed generally in Palaerctic and Oriental regions, where it prefers steppificated habitats. In Ukraine species is recorded in Cherkasy, Kirovohrad and Ternopil Regions, which are situated in Forest-Steppe Zone and Zone of Broadleaf Forests of Ukraine. Lipolexis gracilis is polyphagous species that parasitizes various aphid species mostly from subfamily Aphidinae, as well as aphids from subfamily Anoeciinae and subfamily Calaphidinaе. Data on tritrophic interactions of L. gracilis in the fauna of Ukraine is given and possibility of species application as a biocontrol agent is discussed. In Ukraine L. gracilis was reared from Aphis craccae L., Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis fabae Scopoli, and Brachycaudus cardui L. Among hosts of L. gracilis, there are economically important aphids, and this species was previously used as biocontrol agent of soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura. On our opinion this aphidiine species could be considered as potential biocontrol agent of other economically important aphid species. To facilitate identification of L. gracilis a new morphological character is established: this is the ratio of the forewing length and the length of C+SC+R vein. This character will facilitate identification of broken specimens.
Fault Lines within the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF): Intraparty Network and Governance system
Authors: Bayu Takele Bekele 
Published: February 2019

Ethiopia People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRD) is a political party in charge of government power since 1991. EPRDF is established in 1989 out of Rebel group to party transformation with the view to oust the military government called Derg. It is a coalition of four parties political organization i.e. Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF)- which is an architect of EPRDF, Amhara National Democratic Movements (ANDM) in 1980, Oromo People Liberation Organization (OPDO ) and Southern Ethiopian People Democratic Movement ( SEPDM) However, in spite of the nominally coalition structure of the EPRDF, from the beginning the TPLF provided the leadership and ideological direction to other members of the coalition. To maintain the dominant position within the coalition the TPLF has transferred its rebel time internal governance network that focuses on traditional Marxist Leninist organizational lines, with an emphasis on “democratic centralism”; and a tradition of hierarchically organizational structure to the newly established political organization i.e. EPRDF. Consequently, the EPRDF intraparty network and governance system is dominated by the use of ML (Marxist-Leninist) authoritarian methods and hegemonic control, rigid hierarchical leadership; Democratic centralism, the dominance of the party apparatus behind the façade of regional and local autonomy, an extensive patron-client mechanisms; the use of force to silence opposition within and outside the party; intertwined State institutions and the party system and excessive reliance on party entity instead of state administration units; and gim gema (self-evaluation) are worth mentioning. These intraparty network and governance system have severely limited genuine democratization within the party as well as hampered the democratization process in the country. The party is facing increasing pressure and challenge from within the party and the public at large demanding equal status and fair political economic representation. In effect, EPRDF is in deep crisis shattered by internal divisions, crises as well as external public pressure forcing the party to entertain democratic principles and culture. Hence, it is recommended that the organizational structure and the values and principles governing the organization should be revisited within the framework of democracy which allows adaptability and flexibility given the various change agents in the socio-cultural, economic, political environment.

Abstract: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw may appear as adverse effect in antiresorptive therapy. Its successful treatment is challenging. We aimed to gather the systemic and local factors playing a role in etiology, published after its recognition. Risk factors were collected from the PubMed database 1998–2018. The three main groups of risk patients are: patients starting, patients having antiresorptive therapy, osteonecrosis diagnosed patients. The dentist must recognize risk factors, determine appropriate treatment plan and frequency of check-ups. Oncological disease treated intravenously means the greatest risk. Further systemic risk factors are: supportive therapies, concomitant disease, way of life, individual factors. Local risk factors may be: dentoalveolar surgery, periapical and periodontal inflammation, ill-fitting denture, presence of some anatomical structures. The accumulation of risk factors determines the probability of the manifestation of osteonecrosis. The most favorable case is patient starting antiresorptive therapy with a dental status needing no treatment. Orv hetil. 2019; 160(7): 243–251.

Abstract: In the last few years, the emergence of new high throughput molecular technologies allowed a never-before-seen insight into the genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic and proteomic background of cancers. These studies have been performed in a large number of patients’ samples and provided a great amount of data. Current efforts to translate these new findings into therapeutic strategies are ongoing, but already provided significant information which may change clinical practice in the near future. As a result of this development, the most frequent molecular alterations and affected pathways responsible for the formation and progression of prostate cancer have been identified. In this review, we provide an overview on the current progress in primary and metastatic prostate cancer research focusing on the molecular subtype classification and the most frequently dysregulated pathways, such as androgen signaling, PI3K pathway, cell cycle and DNA repair regulation. In this context, we highlight therapies already approved or are currently under clinical investigation for prostate cancer. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(7): 252–263.

Aim. To study the relationship of subjective and objective signs of chronic venous diseases (CVD) with the state of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in men with arterial hypertension (AH).Material and methods. The object of the study were 74 men with AH at the age of 30-50 years with SBP level 148 (144-155) mm Hg. and DBP 101 (92-108) mm Hg. Two groups of 20 people were selected with the extreme parameters of vegetative index (Kerdo index).Results. The most common complaints in patients with severe parasympathicotonia were pain in the legs and fatigue when walking, cramps in the calf muscles, oedema and sural trophic disorders. An objective examination of patients with severe vagotonia revealed a more frequent occurrence of the leading symptom of CVD — oedema.Conclusion. AH with severe parasympathicotonia in men 30-50 years old is characterized by an increase in the frequency of subjective and objective signs of CVD, which indicates the role of ANS in the development of CVD in AH.
The dependence of сircannual dynamics of blood pressure on seasonal fluctuations of meteorological and heliophysical factors. Meta-analysis

Published: February 2019

Many clinical studies have shown seasonal dynamics of blood pressure (BP), which most authors attribute to seasonal variations in air temperature. However, the fact that in the conditions of modern urban society the influence on the person of air temperature on the street is minimized, as well as the fact that the seasonal dynamics of BP is observed and in a tropical climate contradict this statement. It is known, that the length of the day, the atmospheric pressure, the relative humidity, geomagnetic activity are subject to seasonal dynamics. Studies have shown that fluctuations in these meteorological factors can cause change in blood pressure.Aim.To use meta-analysis of the results of studies, conducted in different climatic zones (from subarctic to tropical) and devoted to seasonal dynamics of BP, to determine which meteorological conditions most often corresponded to the annual maximum of BP and which to the annual minimum of BP.Material and methods. We selected 15 publications about seasonal dynamics of BP and seasonal exacerbations of arterial hypertension in 21 regions of the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth.Results.We confirmed that, in addition to air temperature, other factors are also subject to seasonal dynamics (atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, partial oxygen density in the air). No correlation was found between the amplitude of seasonal fluctuations in air temperature and the amplitude of seasonal fluctuations in BP. In addition, the amplitude of drcannual blood pressure fluctuations was greater in regions with a clear seasonal dynamics of the average monthly atmospheric pressure, compared with regions in which the this parameter does not have a clear seasonal dynamics. Also, in some regions, the seasonal maximum of BP coincided with high geomagnetic activity.Conclusion. According to the results, we concluded that seasonal fluctuations of BP are not a reaction of the cardiovascular system to seasonal dynamics of air temperature only. Most likely, seasonal fluctuations of BP are caused by changes in all meteorological factors that have seasonal dynamics.

Рассмотрена фазовая диаграмма системы SiO2-Al2O3. Представлен обзор методов синтеза муллита, в т. ч., обжигом природных алюмосиликатов, из расплава методом Чохральского, методом Вернейля из геля, и твердофазным методом из шихты стехиометрического состава. По литературным данным установлено, что параметры ромбической решетки и габитус кристаллов муллита напрямую зависят от величины соотношения алюминия и кремния в исходной шихте, содержания примесей, способа термической обработки и формы введения в шихту исходных компонентов. На размер кристаллов муллита влияет наличие фторида алюминия в шихте, что при определенных соотношениях позволяет получать конечный продукт в виде вискерсов. Рассмотрено воздействие минерализаторов на выход муллита: фториды щелочных металлов его уменьшают, а сульфаты и хлориды увеличивают, а также влияют на вязкость и структуру расплава. С этой целью рассмотрены различные добавки и их влияние на характер синтеза, структуру и свойства. Выявлены структурные особенности кристаллической решетки муллита, влияющие на изоморфные замещения. Рассмотрена возможность получения изоморфно замещенных разновидностей муллитов. В работе приведены оптические характеристики изоморфно замещенных муллитов, содержащих d-элементы.

The effect of VR and traditional videos on learner retention and decision making
Authors: Yıldırım Gürkan , Yıldırım Serkan , Dolgunsöz Emrah 
Published: February 2019

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) as computer-mediated 3-D environments including real-life situations presented via different tools in which users can interact effectively with visuals. This study is significant as it primarily aimed to investigate effects of VR on retention by comparing it with traditional 2-D videos. The main aim of this study is to compare the effect of VR and 2-D videos on learner retention and decision making. About 18 students from the Department of English language teaching in an age range of 18–20 (nine males and nine females) voluntarily participated in this study and took course credits. As all participants were tested under the same two conditions in different time periods; repeated measures were chosen for statistical analysis. It can be inferred that both technologies have similar effects on short-term retention and VR does not provide any extra retention performance. However, VR was found to have a significant effect on long-term retention.

Keywords: Virtual reality, eye tracking, retention, decision making.

Angiographic Features of Drug-Induced Bilateral Angle Closure and Transient Myopia with Ciliochoroidal Effusion
Authors: Kang Yong Koo , Son Byeong Jae , Park Dong Ho , Shin Jae Pil 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Background: To report five cases of acute drug-induced angle closure and transient myopia with ciliochoroidal effusion and to analyze angiographic findings of these cases.
Methods: This study is an observational case series. Five patients with acute drug-induced angle closure and transient myopia with ciliochoroidal effusion were examined by fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Results: Five patients presented with bilateral visual loss and ocular pain after intake of topiramate, methazolamide, phendimetrazine tartrate or mefenamic acid. All patients showed elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with shallow anterior chamber and myopic shift from -0.5 to -17.0 diopters (D). UBM showed ciliochoroidal effusions with diffuse thickening of the ciliary body in all cases. Rapid normalization of IOP and decrease of myopic shift occurred in all patients after discontinuing the suspected drugs. We classified the ICGA findings into 2 major signs (hypofluorescent dark spots, hyperfluorescent pinpoints) and 3 minor signs (diffuse choroidal hyperfluorescence, early hyperfluorescence of choroidal stromal vessel, and leakage and dilated retinal vessels).
Conclusions: The pathogenesis of acute drug-induced angle closure and transient myopia with ciliochoroidal effusion may be idiosyncratic reaction of uveal tissue to systemic drugs. Accumulation of extravascular fluid in the ciliochoroidal layer had a major role in the pathogenesis. ICGA could be a useful method to examine the pathophysiology of this condition by imaging of the choroidal layer.
Keywords: Ciliochoroidal effusion; Drug-induced angle closure; Indocyanine green angiography; Transient myopia.
Removal of sulfonamides from wastewater in the UV/TiO2 system: effects of pH and salinity on photodegradation and mineralization

Abstract
The effects of salinity on the photodegradation and mineralization of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system were investigated. The goals of this study were to analyze the effects of pH and salinity on the sulfonamide concentration and total organic carbon (TOC) during the removal of sulfonamides in a UV/TiO2 system. Four sulfonamides – sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamethizole (SFZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfathiazole (STZ) - were selected as parent compounds. The photodegradation and mineralization rates of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system satisfy pseudo-first-order kinetics. Direct photolysis degraded sulfonamides but sulfonamides cannot be mineralized. The photodegradation and mineralization rate constants in all experiments followed the order pH 5 &gt; pH 7 &gt; pH 9. At pH 5, the mineralization rate constants of SMX, SFZ, SDZ and STZ were 0.015, 0.009, 0.012 and 0.011 min−1, respectively. The addition of NaCl inhibited the mineralization of the four tested sulfonamides more than it inhibited their photodegradation. The inhibitory effect of chloride ions on the removal of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system was attributed to the scavenging by chloride ions of hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and holes and the much lower reactivity of chlorine radicals thus formed, even though the chlorine radicals were more abundant than HO•.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
Many technologies have been proposed to oxidize chromium, such as roasting-water leaching technology and hydrometallurgical methods such as pressure oxidative leaching coupled with oxygen, ozone, permanganate and ferrate, but the problems associated with the high temperature, low overall resource utilization efficiency, high energy consumption, and the environmental pollution, still remain unsolved. This paper focuses on the oxidation process of chromium (III) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in an alkaline medium. The effect of parameters including dosage of H2O2, dosage of NaOH, reaction time, reaction temperature and stirring rate on the oxidation efficiency of chromium were investigated. The oxidation efficiency was significantly affected by the dosage of H2O2 and NaOH, reaction time and reaction temperature took second place; last was the stirring rate. Oxidation efficiency was nearly 100% under the optimal conditions: volume ratio of H2O2 to mass of Cr2(SO4)3 of 2.4 mL/g, mass ratio of NaOH to Cr2(SO4)3 0.6 g/g, reaction time of 90 min, reaction temperature of 90 °C and stirring rate of 500 rpm.
Znaczenie judeochrześcijańskich korzeni i świadectwa chrześcijan o korzeniach żydowskich dla integralnego zrozumienia przesłania biblijnego
Authors: Muszyński Abp Henryk 
Published: February 2019

Punktem wyjścia artykułu są pierwotne napięcia pomiędzy wyznawcami judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa. Autor na ich tle ukazuje historyczny przełom we wzajemnych relacjach judeochrześcijańskich, który nastąpił po Soborze Watykańskim II. Umożliwił on wkroczenie judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa w drogę braterstwa i dialogu. W przekonaniu autora było to możliwe za sprawą wysiłków papieży (tj. Jana Pawła II, Benedykta XVI i Franciszka) oraz wspólnych instytucji i organizacji chrześcijańsko-żydowskich. Autor podkreśla również, że relacje chrześcijańsko-żydowskie cechuje wzajemne poszanowanie przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu własnej tożsamości i wierności swojej tradycji religijnej i duchowej. Na zakończenie artykułu zostały przedstawione osobiste doświadczenia autora w dialogu chrześcijańsko-żydowskim.
