An issue related to the use of hemp bundle insulation for building structures is to ensure their fire resistance under the action of a low-calorie ignition source. Therefore, the object of research was the change in the properties of the insulation during fire protection with its compositions capable of forming a layer of pinocoke under the influence of high temperature. On the basis of experimental data, it was established that at fire protection of insulation with a fire retardant agent, hydrolytic stable ethers containing phosphorus and nitrogen atoms are formed on the surface of the fibers. According to the temperature values and the shape of peaks on the DTA curve, it was established that at fire protection, the height of the peaks decreases and the width increases, which characterize the flow of exothermic transformations and the destruction of hemp fibers. At the same time, it was established that the formed residue has 13.3 % for impregnation and 26.6 % for coating. It has been proven that in the process of thermal action on the fire-resistant coating, the heat insulation process of the insulation consists in the formation of soot-like products on the surface of the material. So, it was determined that the sample did not catch fire, it was charred in the place of the radiation panel, and the burning was not recorded. On the other hand, for a sample of insulation treated with a coating during thermal action, the formation of a heat-insulating layer of foam coke occurred, which inhibits the penetration of heat, the temperature of flue gases did not exceed 100 °C, and the flammability index was 0. The practical significance is that the results were taken into account when designing buildings and structures. So, there are reasons to assert the possibility of targeted regulation of fire protection processes of insulation by applying coatings that form a protective layer on the surface of the material

This study investigates the impact of absorptive capacity on enhancing the performance of SMEs through new product development, marketing capabilities, and the adoption of digital marketing. The research problem addresses how absorptive capacity influences these factors to improve new product performance. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from 212 SMEs in three cities in East Java Province, Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that critical factors influencing new product performance include the ability of SMEs to absorb external knowledge (indicator AC3, loading factor 0.852), new initiatives in product development (indicator NPD4, loading factor 0.886), and strong marketing strategies (indicator MC3, loading factor 0.878). Further analysis reveals that absorptive capacity positively and significantly affects new product development (ß=0.763; p-value<0.05) and marketing capabilities (ß=0.724; p-value <0.05) but has a negative and insignificant effect on digital marketing adoption (ß=–0.102; p-value>0.05). However, digital marketing adoption positively and significantly impacts new product performance (ß=0.628; p-value<0.05). These findings suggest that while absorptive capacity is crucial for new product development and marketing capabilities, it is insufficient to drive digital marketing adoption. The results highlight the important but not significant mediating role of digital marketing adoption. The practical implications provide guidance for SMEs to adjust their marketing strategies and new product development to improve performance, particularly during a crisis
Integration of the legal conception into legislation and social reality
Authors: Bedrii Marian 
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the issues of implementing a legal conception into legislation and social reality. Specifically, it explores the path that legal conceptions take from their creators' consciousness to legal doctrine, lawmaking, and law enforcement. The oral or written publication of a concept elicits an appropriate response from the environment – positive, negative, neutral, or mixed. The recognition of a legal conception determines its integration into legal doctrine (an indicator of such recognition is primarily citation). It is emphasized that legal concepts are vulnerable to plagiarism, as copyright law excludes concepts from the scope of its legal protection.
From legal doctrine, a legal conception moves into the normative base and practical realm. Generally, it initially enters legislation and then societal reality, but there are exceptions. For instance, the history of Ukrainian law knows other cases where a legal conception was implemented in societal life without prior integration into legislation. A recognized legal conception can determine the content of all or specific provisions of a law (including the constitution or code), international treaty, subordinate normative-legal act, interpretative act of a constitutional jurisdiction authority, judicial or administrative decision, etc.
A legal conception, projected onto social relations through the intermediary of legislative text, is usually not fully reflected in them. It should be understood that the norm of the legislation is applied in social life, and its content in most cases corresponds to the provisions of the concept partially and limitedly. The brevity and fragmentary nature of the text of a normative-legal act sometimes lead to misunderstanding or incorrect application of the concept's provisions, on which it was based.
Specific examples of the influence of legal conceptions on legislation and social practice in Ukraine and other countries are highlighted. The example of H. Kelsen and the historical significance of his conception of constitutional justice are considered. Certain directions of influence on the modern legal system of Ukraine by scientific conceptions of representatives of the Faculty of Law of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv are shown
Problems of criminal responsibility for illegal deportation of children
Authors: Politova Anna 
Published: September 2024

This article is concerning on the actual problem of criminal responsibility for illegal deportation of children. It has been stressed by the author that illegal deportation of children is of particular concern, although it is almost impossible to document and establish the total number of such cases at the occupied territories. Certain problems arise in the qualification of such encroachments under the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which should be taken into account when developing the draft of a new one.
An emphasis has been made upon the definition of the term of “child” in international law and national legislation. It has been established that international law has a clear mechanism for the protection of children’s rights against illegal displacement or deportation. It has been also noted that the national legislation has an acute problem in the regulation of the use of the terminology “deportation”, “forcible displacement” and “illegal removal” and the definition of criteria for their distinction.
An analysis of the provisions of the drafts of Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine and other legislative acts of Ukraine regarding forcible displacement of a person in conditions of armed aggression” (Reg. No. 8326 dated 12/30/2022) and Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding forcible displacement of a person outside the territory of Ukraine” (Reg. No. 9204 dated 04/13/2023) has been made, their shortcomings have been indicated.
It has been demonstrated that the Article 11.5.11. “Illegal abduction of a child” of the draft of the Criminal Code refers to the abduction of a child. The main direct object of such criminal act is the freedom of the child, which proves that this act cannot be attributed to Book Eleven. “Crimes against the international legal order” of the draft of the Criminal Code.
Based on the results of the study, it has been concluded that the illegal deportation of children poses a threat to the national security of Ukraine; the necessity of further scientific development of this issue has been augmented

Aim. To assess postoperative complications and predictors of mortality in surgery for left-sided infective endocarditis (IE).Material and methods. The retrospective analysis included 222 cases of IE in 216 patients who were operated on from January 2015 to November 2022. Inclusion criteria: age of patients ≥18 years, definite or probable (Duke criteria) left-sided IE of aortic and/or mitral valves. There were following exclusion criteria: isolated right-sided IE (tricuspid valve, pacemaker endocarditis), nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis and chronic IE. Endpoints: inhospital mortality, postoperative complications (delirium; perioperative stroke; resternotomy for bleeding; perioperative myocardial infarction; acute heart failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or intra-aortic balloon pumping; respiratory failure requiring tracheostomy; acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy; conduction disorder requiring pacemaker implantation).Results. Median age was 53 [38,0; 61,0] years, while the majority of patients were men (73,9%). Inhospital mortality was 8,6%. The most common postoperative complications were delirium (19,8%) and bleeding requiring resternotomy (10,4%). The incidence of perioperative stroke was 2,3%, perioperative myocardial infarction - 0,9%, respiratory failure with tracheostomy – 4,5%, pacemaker implantation – 2,7%, renal replacement therapy – 6,8%. According to multivari ate analysis, Predictors of inhospital mortality were creatinine clearance level (odds ratio (OR), 0,976; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0,956-0,996; p=0,020), time of cardiopulmonary bypass (OR, 1,014; 95% CI: 1,006-1,021 , p<0,001), deli rium (OR, 7,058; 95% CI: 1,824-27,330, p=0,005) and acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (OR, 28,620; 95% CI: 6,508-125,964; p<0,001).Conclusion. Surgical treatment of left-sided IE has satisfactory inho spital outcomes. The study identified simple clinical factors (creatinine clearance, cardiopulmonary bypass time, delirium, acute kidney injury) associated with inhospital mortality.
Bread dough as material metaphor for the maternal experience
Authors: Pond Julia 
Published: September 2024

This article traces my artistic practice with bread dough. The writing intertwines descriptions of practice and theory, exposing the ambiguities of maternal experience through the dough. Beginning with research on suspended temporalities, the dough reveals multi-layered insights into physical and economic maternal experience. Materialities of bread dough work together with embodied practices which explore them: slow, spreading growth, stickiness, weight and awkwardness, kneading as rhythmic, repetitive labour, invisibility. The writing connects the research to the performance project BRED, a participatory installation depicting a fictional start-up company, in which the dough stars as the object of ‘work,’ here no longer invisible, a vehicle for the voice of the maternal within a performative corporate setting.

Published: September 2024

Aim. To identify significant indicators of cognitive dysfunction based on discriminant analysis and to assess the influence of the course, nature and localization of ischemic stroke on the cognitive status of the patient.Materials and methods. We examined 290 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke in the carotid artery area. Depending on presence of cognitive dysfunction according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoSA) patients were divided into 2 groups: 240 patients with cognitive decline (≤25 point by MoCA) and 50 patients without it. In order to verify the markers, anamnestic characteristics were assessed, cognitive-functional indicators (according to the scales of the National Institutes of Health, MoCA, Bartel, Rankin, IQCODE questionnaire, additional scales to assess praxis, semantic aphasia, perception and executive function), data of neuroimaging studies. For statistical analysis machine learning algorithms and Python with its libraries (Pandas and SciPy) were implied.Results. The main neuropsychological indicators for patients with early post-stroke cognitive impairment were decline in the areas of perception, executive function, memory and semantic information processing, affective disturbances and physical fatigue. Relevant indicators identified during estimation of the instrumental and clinical examination results were severity of IS, left frontal and right parietal localisations of ischemia focus, presence of cortical atrophy and leukoaraiosis.Conclusion. Based on multi-factor analysis of clinical and paraclinical parameters using machine learning algorithms, the main markers of cognitive decline of early post-stroke impairments were identified. This will allow us to optimise the choice of neurocognitive rehabilitation strategies and to personalise the approach in the further management of the stroke patient.

Background. Acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is a non-tumor disease of the blood system and the pathogenesis is based on immune dysregulation directed against own hematopoietic stem cells, which leads to the development of bone marrow aplasia. Some modern research is directed to the study of intrinsic defects of hematopoietic stem cells, and one of which is the change in telomere length. Several large studies have shown the association of telomere shortening in AA patients with decreased overall survival, poor response to immunosuppressive therapy (IST), high rates of relapse and clonal complications.Aim. To study the influence of the initial telomeric DNA regions length in AA patients on the disease course.Materials and methods. 43 adult patients with acquired AA without previous pathogenetic therapy were included in the study. IST was performed according to a standard protocol including the use of hATG and cyclosporine. Flow-FISH was used as the method for measuring relative telomere length, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were used as the study material.Results. Telomere length determined before IST did not differ between non-severe and severe AA, but there were significant differences depending on disease duration (p = 0.032). Initially short telomeres correlated with a lower rate of achieving hematologic improvement (53 % vs. 80 %; p = 0.059). In addition, significantly worse results were obtained in achieving partial and complete remission in patients with initially short telomeres compared to those with initially long telomeres (37 % vs. 62 % and 5 % vs. 23 %, respectively; p <0.05). There was a tendency to increase the frequency of new chromosomal aberrations in patients with shorter telomere length.Conclusion. The results obtained do not contradict previous studies and show the association of a decrease in baseline telomere length with poor response to IST and a high risk of clonal complications. The determination of telomere length should be used both in differential diagnosis between the acquired disease and congenital bone marrow failure syndromes, and for timely choice of patient management tactics (IST or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation).

Published: September 2024

Patients who have been diagnosed with glenohumeral arthritis due to inflammatory, degenerative and traumatic causes usually have a progressive course of disease and is very often not controlled with medication and conservative treatment. Most patients eventually end up with disabling pain, dysfunction and limited mobility requiring surgical intervention. Few treatment options are available when it comes to surgical intervention. These primarily include anatomical shoulder arthroplasty hemiarthroplasty and the more recent reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Although approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has recently become popular worldwide as a treatment of choice for glenohumeral arthritis with promising outcomes and minimal complications. Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA) is indicated for variety of shoulder conditions that involve a loss of rotator cuff function or massive tears, inflammatory pathology, gleno humeral arthritis complex proximal humerus trauma and other pathologies that cannot be effectively treated with traditional shoulder arthroplasty. RTSA can restore shoulder function and alleviate pain in these individuals. The goal of this study confirms previously reported improvements in pain, function scores, and range of motion, in patients treated with RTSA and to record clinical outcomes in Asian population.To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The present study was undertaken as a prospective, observational study among 30 Patients undergoing RTSA for various indications and attending the study hospital for medical care. The deltopectoral surgical approach was used on all participant placed in the beach chair position. Patients were followed up for 1 year postoperatively to asses outcome of RTSA. Study showed participants were elderly(&#62;60yrs) and female predominance. Mean body weight of participants was 57.37 ±4.25 kg, (95%CI 55.78-58.96 kg). Among 19 (63.3%) participants affected hand was right, 10 (33.3%) had left hand and 1 (3.3%) had bilateral limb affected. Study demonstrated significant improvements in all clinical outcomes measured using Constant Murley, ASES, SANE, SST scores and pain relief following shoulder surgery (p&#60;0.05). The study demonstrated significant improvements in functional outcomes and pain relief following shoulder surgery. The Constant Murley, ASES, SANE, and SST scores all showed consistent and substantial enhancement from preoperative to multiple postoperative time points, up to 1 year. Pain reduction was evident with a decrease in the VAS score.

Lampung Province is the third largest banana producer in Indonesia with various types of bananas. It affects the differences of physical characteristics and nutritional content. Besides the type of banana, the processing can also affect the differences in its characteristics. The objective of the research was to determine the physical characteristics and nutritional content of banana flour from 8 types of bananas grown in Lampung Province as a source of local flour with the boiling method. The study was designed in a completely randomized block design with 3 replications. The results showed that the type of banana affected the physical characteristics and nutritional content of banana flour. Nangka bananas had the highest yield (42.06%) and muli bananas had the lowest yield (24.45%). Ambon kuning and tanduk had the highest degree of whiteness (44.60 and 41.20) and this is influenced by the color of the black pith. Muli banana flour was the highest protein content (3.54%). Fat content in nangka banana flour is the highest (1.09%). Ash of muli banana and ambon banana flour were the highest content (2.99% and 2.68%). Crude fiber of muli banana flour and kepok manado banana flour were the highest content (3.17% and 3.21%). The starch, amylose, and ratio of amylose/amylopectin of kepok manado and tanduk banana flour were the same and the highest content (respectively ranging between 74.53–76.29%, 26.18–28.92%, and 0.35–0.41). Vitamin C and total acid in local banana flour ranged from 0.51–2.34 mg/100 g and 0.62–2.25 respectively, muli bananas had the highest content of vitamin C and total acid with values of 2.34 mg/100 g and 2.25%. The boiling process can be applied as one of pre-treatment before making local Lampung banana flour.

Published: September 2024

Background: Members of the Bifidobacterium genus and lactobacilli are the most commonly used probiotics to promote human health. In this context, genome-based in silico analyses have been demonstrated as a fast and reliable tool for identifying and characterizing health-promoting activities imputed to probiotics.
Methods: This study is an extension of the Integrated Probiotic Database (IPDB) previously created on probiotics of the genus Bifidobacterium , facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the genetic characteristics that contribute to the diverse spectrum of beneficial effects of probiotics. The strains integrated into this new version of the IPDB, such as various lactobacilli and strains belonging to the species Streptococcus thermophilus (S. thermophilus ) and Heyndrickxia coagulans (H. coagulans ) (formerly Bacillus coagulans ), were selected based on the labels of probiotic formulations currently on the market and using the bacterial strains whose genome had already been sequenced. On these bacterial strains, comparative genome analyses were performed, mainly focusing on genetic factors that confer structural, functional, and chemical characteristics predicted to be involved in microbe-host and microbe-microbe interactions.
Results: Our investigations revealed marked inter- and intra-species variations in the genetic makeup associated with the biosynthesis of external structures and bioactive metabolites putatively associated with microbe- and host-microbe interactions.
Conclusion: Although genetic differences need to be confirmed as functional or phenotypic differences before any probiotic intervention, we believe that considering these divergences will aid in improving effective and personalized probiotic-based interventions.
