Study the immunomodulatory effect of hydroxychloroquine in recurrent pregnancy loss patients in their current pregnancy
Authors: Singh Mamta 
Published: October 2024

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more pregnancy loss consecutively. in most of the cases cause of pregnancy loss remains unclear. lethal chromosomal abnormality is commonly found in product of conception. HCQ has an impact on innate immunity by decreasing the circulatory level of interleukin-1, TNF-alpha and interferon-gamma. In this way this creates a normal environment that favour normal pregnancy development. This study was aimed to find out the effect of HCQ in RPL patients who have raised TNF alpha and anti-nuclear antibody.
Methods: This is a clinical interventional cross over design study. All patients included in the study were given 200 mg HCQ twice a day with ecosprin 75 mg HS and folic acid 5 mg. After first trimester iron and calcium are also included in the treatment along with previous treatment. HCQ is continued till delivery.
Results: The result of this study shows that there is a significant decrease in the serum value of TNF alpha and after treatment with HCQ in three months. The p value is less than 0.001 for TNF alpha and 0.001 for ANA. This shows that HCQ treatment in recurrent miscarriage patients decreases the serum value of TNF and ANA to a significant level and helps in continuation of pregnancy.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the use of HCQ showed a decrease in TNF alpha and antinuclear antibody in an ongoing pregnancy, which diminished the chances of recurrent pregnancy loss.

Background: Laparoscopic hysterectomy has become a preferred surgical approach for managing uterine conditions, offering advantages such as reduced postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays. However, the impact of geographic factors on laparoscopic hysterectomy outcomes in mountainous regions remains understudied.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Kamla Nehru hospital, IGMC Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, aiming to evaluate demographic characteristics, prevalence of uterine conditions necessitating surgery, and surgical outcomes associated with laparoscopic hysterectomy. Data were collected from 90 participants over a two-year period, including patient demographics, preoperative diagnoses, surgical techniques, perioperative complications, and postoperative outcomes.
Results: The mean age of study participants was 47.4±5.2 years, with leiomyoma causing abnormal uterine bleeding being the most common preoperative diagnosis (67.8%). Total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy was the most frequently performed procedure (55.6%), with a mean duration of surgery of 1.67±0.1 hours and an average estimated blood loss of 80 mL. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were minimal, with a trend towards decreasing mean duration of surgery over time and a shift towards larger uterine sizes being taken for laparoscopic removal.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a safe and effective procedure, with minimal complications and improving surgical efficiency over time. However, further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and the impact of geographic factors on surgical practice and patient care in mountainous regions.

Background: Postpartum IUCDs are becoming increasingly popular in low-income countries, but there are few studies addressing long-term outcomes.
Methods: A prospective observational study conducted in six tertiary care hospitals across India to investigate satisfaction rates, expulsions, adverse events and complications of PPIUCD for up to 24 months.
Results: PPIUCD was accepted by 16262 out of 56619 eligible women. Of these, 59.6% had NVDs, and the rest had LSCSs. PPIUCD continuation proportion was 90.3% at 6 weeks and 72.5% at 6 months. It decreased to 50.6% after 24 months. Women reported 73.91% satisfaction at 6 months, but only 48% at 24 months. PPIUCD removal and expulsion rates were 8.39% and 3.76% at 6 months and 13.4% and 2.95% at 24 months. Removal rates were significantly different between NVD and LSCS women (25.37% versus 18.8%; p<0.001). Thread discomfort was the most common reason for removal and was more common in LSCS group. Expulsions were higher at six months in the NVD, 9.85% versus 7.10% (p<0.001). Reported side effects were abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding and white discharge in both groups.
Conclusions: There was a progressive reduction in continuation and satisfaction with PPIUCD use over 24 months. Thread discomfort, abdominal pain, and abnormal bleeding were major reasons for dissatisfaction. Most of the women chose private practitioners for IUCD. Additionally, the reported side effects highlight the need for further research. Both quality of life and contraceptive efficacy play a major role in the success of contraception.

Analytical feminism of Martha C. Nussbaum and Rae H. Langton. The notion of objectification.
Authors: Ciarcińska Katarzyna 
Published: October 2024

Feminizm analityczny to jeden z aktualnych nurtów współczesnej filozofii analitycznej. Widoczne są w nim trzy główne tendencje: analiza klasycznych tekstów oraz kategorii filozoficznych poprzez perspektywę feministyczną celem zweryfikowania ich aktualności i zasadności; analiza języka i jego roli w konstrukcji norm społecznych, ponieważ język nie tylko odzwierciedla, ale konstruuje i utrwala hierarchie społeczne i system przekonań (wiedzę i uprzedzenia); próba stworzenia zaangażowanej filozofii, która wychodząc poza czysto teoretyczny wymiar stanie się narzędziem pomocnym w kreowaniu społeczeństwa opartego na ideałach sprawiedliwości i równości.

ASSESSMENT AND CURRENT TRENDS OF ENSURING FOOD SECURITY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Kuzoma Vitalii 
Published: October 2024

The research on Ukraine's food security is of paramount importance, as it directly impacts the national agro-food systems. The article delves into the current state of internal food self-sufficiency in the Ukrainian population, conducting an analytical assessment of export-import transactions with agricultural raw materials and food products. The findings reveal a significant trend of increasing food exports in recent years, along with an evaluation of the export-import coverage for the main types of food products.
Ukraine's place in the world rating of food security based on the Global Food Security Index was studied. The fundamental problems and reasons that determined Ukraine's decrease in the rating positions and the level of food security of its population were identified. In addition to the military conflict, Ukraine has a low economic availability of food products for the population and a low level of sustainability in the domestic agro-food system.
Despite the war's consequences, the agricultural business remains one of the most profitable economic activities in Ukraine. This analysis of individual indicators of the effectiveness of the country's agrarian sector as a basis for ensuring food security underscores the sector's potential.
The modern production structure of the main types of agricultural products by categories of producers was studied. The key trends accompanying ensuring food security in Ukraine under modern conditions are summarized. It was revealed that food security in the crop sector is achieved at the expense of the public sector agrarian formations, mainly at the expense of households in the livestock sector. Based on the average values ​​of the actual consumption indicators, the state of providing the population with the main types of food was analyzed. The results showed problematic aspects in providing the country's population with meat and dairy products, fish, fruits, berries, and grapes. The priority directions for ensuring and strengthening food security on a national scale are substantiated. Among the main ones, the following are highlighted: the need to implement sustainable farming and animal husbandry practices, further improvement of the food quality management and control system, protection of biodiversity of ecological agrosystems, optimization and reduction of value chains, increasing the level of social responsibility of food producers and consumers.

The B and K Oil Fields, situated in the Riau Province of Indonesia, present distinct operational challenges due to their varying characteristics and common issues. The B field operates as a waterflood field, while the K field is characterized by its primary heavy oil production. Both fields, however, suffer from significant reservoir compartmentalization, leading to uneven well-inflow capabilities and persistent problems with sand and gas intrusion.
To address these challenges and maximize production rates, several wells in the B and K fields are being considered for Artificial Lift Conversion (ALC) from Sucker Rod Pump (SRP) to Electric Submersible Pump (ESP). The transition to ESPs aims to enhance production rates, yet the uncertainty in well-inflow capabilities poses a risk of early pump failure and low-inflow problems. Traditionally, a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) is employed to mitigate low inflow by adjusting the production rate. However, this approach introduces additional complications related to VSD resource prioritization.
Given these complexities, there is a pressing need for a new method or technology to reduce the uncertainty in well-inflow capabilities. This would enhance pump reliability, increase production rates, and optimize the allocation of VSD resources. The proposed solution involves the implementation of an abrasive-resistant ESP technology designed to operate efficiently across a broad flow range, addressing both sand and gas issues and improving overall well performance.

Abstract
High-speed operation of electric submersible pumps (ESPs) are becoming common practice in oilfield operations. Installing high-speed high gas volume fraction (GVF) multiphase pumps (MPPs) will facilitate production from wells with high gas content. This study uses gas-liquid parameters to obtain dimensionless curves from various physical tests of high-speed, high GVF MPPs. The application benefits include sizing by field and design personnel to ensure required production delivery at the desired MPP setting depths.
Two high-speed, high GVF MPPs, with 4.00-inch and 5.38-inch housing diameters, were physically tested and operated at 6,000 revolutions per minute. For the 4.00-inch housing MPP, the intake pressure varied from 26 to 70 psig, whereas intake pressure was 46 psig for the 5.38-inch MPP. The range of water volume flow rate was 63 to 660 barrels per day (BPD), and intake GVF varied from about 84% to 98%. Energy and turbomachinery principles were applied to the test data to obtain dimensionless head and flow performance curves for each MPP. The curves were validated from estimating pump boost pressures.
The results showed that the trend in variation of dimensionless head coefficient with the dimensionless volume flow rate depends on the method in which the tests were performed. For the 4-inch MPP, tested at constant liquid volume flow rate while varying intake pressures and GVF, the dimensionless head coefficient increased with increasing dimensionless volume flow rate. It was observed that all the dimensionless test data collapse on one another. For the 5.38-inch MPP, tested at constant intake pressure while varying liquid and gas volume flow rates, the dimensionless head coefficient decreased with increasing dimensionless volume flow rate. All the dimensionless test data for the pump were also observed to collapse on one another. Validation of the dimensionless performance curve for each MPP showed that the curves can be used to determine, with good accuracy, dimensionless head coefficients and corresponding pump boost pressures for given flow and operating conditions. In conclusion, the method presented in this study has beneficial field design application in establishing performance of high-speed MPPs operating in high GVF environments.
This study highlights the benefits of obtaining dimensionless characteristics in general and specifically for high-speed, high-GVF MPPs, using fundamental, physics-based techniques. Application of the performance curves obtained from this technique can be used by design engineers and field personnel to size high-speed, high-intake GVF MPPs operating at any setting depths. This is beneficial to the operator to optimize production and maximize the economic bottom-line from the field asset.
