Abstract:
The emergence of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has transformed our understanding
of the disease, transcending its initial characterization as a respiratory ailment. Acknowledged now
as a multisystem dysfunctional disorder, COVID-19 exhibits a diverse range of symptoms, notably
affecting the Gastrointestinal (GI) system. This article delves into the evolving comprehension of
COVID-19 as a multisystem disease, emphasizing its GI complications, including diarrhea, anorexia,
nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort. The exploration encompasses clinical features, diagnostic
methods, and research advancements related to COVID-19's impact on the GI system. It accentuates
the intricate link between gut and lung health, advocating a multidisciplinary approach for patients
with GI involvement. The review addresses innovative diagnostic techniques tailored for GI symptoms
and discusses emerging trends and breakthroughs in clinical research. Moreover, it analyzes the
mechanisms underpinning COVID-associated GI damage, emphasizing the interplay between gut
and lung pathophysiology, thereby deepening our understanding of the disease process. The article
proposes a comprehensive approach to managing COVID-19 patients with GI complications, advocating
stringent hygiene, detailed patient history analysis, consideration of preexisting conditions,
and exploration of various treatments, such as microbiome-targeted therapeutics, ACE2 inhibitors,
antibiotics, plasma therapy, and vaccines. Additionally, it highlights the role of nutritional supplements
and vitamins in supporting GI health during COVID-19. This content offers valuable insights
for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, providing a roadmap for effective multidisciplinary
management tailored to GI manifestations in the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a thorough examination
of clinical aspects, diagnostics, mechanisms, and management strategies, this review contributes
significantly to the collective knowledge, enhancing our ability to combat COVID-19 comprehensively.
Assessment of adherence to therapy and options for polypharmacy in patients with CHF according to local registry data
Authors: Tarlovskaya E. I. , Omarova Y. V. 
Published: June 2024

Objective: to study the frequency of adherence to therapy, as well as options for existing polypharmacy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) according to local registry data.Materials and methods: the study included 398 patients with CHF aged 72.17±11.12 years. Patients were divided into groups depending on the type of polypharmacy (appropriate and inappropriate) according to the criteria of the EURO-FORTA (EF) system (2021) and based on national clinical guidelines (CR) (2020), without polypharmacy (taking 1–4 drugs during prehospital stage) who did not take therapy at the prehospital stage - during the last 3 months before the actual hospitalization.Results: depending on the type of polypharmacy at the outpatient stage, the analysis was carried out by comparing 4 groups: appropriate (n=103 (EF) and n=120 (CR)) and inappropriate (n=103 (EF) and n=86 (CR) polypharmacy, without polypharmacy (taking 1-4 drugs) (n=91 (EF) and n=117 (KR)) and not taking therapy at the prehospital stage (n=55 (EF) and n=75 (KR)) during the last 3 months before current hospitalization. According to the Morisky-Green questionnaire, 38.44% were adherent to treatment at the prehospital stage, possibly adherent — 7.28%, non-adherent — 54.28%. The lowest quality of pharmacotherapy at the prehospital stage was observed in the group of patients without polypharmacy: they were less likely than patients with appropriate and inappropriate polypharmacy (according to the CR criteria) to take angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) (30.77% versus 55.00% versus 51.16 %, рmg=0.0001), β-adrenergic blockers (β-AB) (52.13% vs. 88.33% vs. 77.90%, рmg=0.0001) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MCRA) (11.11 % versus 57.50% versus 52.32%, рmg=0.0001) and quite often in 30.77% (p=0.00001) they took potentially unacceptable medications, which further reduced the quality of therapy.Conclusion: according to the Morisky-Green questionnaire, 54.28% of patients with CHF were non-adherent to therapy at the prehospital stage. Patients with CHF at the prehospital stage in 25.2% did not receive treatment for CHF, in 39.3% there was no polypharmacy and in 69.1% polypharmacy was observed. In multimorbid patients with CHF, polypharmacy had the following advantages: more frequent use of 3-component basic therapy for CHF, more frequent use of ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, AMCR, statins for coronary heart disease (CHD), oral anticoagulants (OAC) for fibrillation/flutter atria (AF/AFL) and antihyperglycemic therapy for diabetes mellitus (DM).

Authors: Baral Suman , Chhetri Raj Kumar , Thapa Neeraj 
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Meckel’s diverticulum is one the most common congenital anomalies of gastrointestinal tract that mimics acute appendicitis, gastroenteritis, peptic ulcer disease. Complications related to it can be haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, perforation while axial torsion is one of the rarest complications. So, this paper objectifies a rare clinical scenario that we encountered in our practice and highlights on the possible management strategies. Case : An 11 year boy presented with a history of pain at peri-umbilical region for four days with 2-3 episodes of vomiting. Abdominal examination revealed tenderness at suprapubic area with a mass around 5x3 cm along hypogastrium. Ultrasonography abdomen revealed an avascular structure in central area with clumping of bowel and omentum over the lesion while computed tomography scan of abdomen revealed blind ended gas filled structure at hypogastrium with thickened enhancing irregular wall associated with adjacent mesenteric fat plane stranding and prominent adjacent axial vessels supplying inflammatory lesion. Exploratory laparotomy showed axial twisting of diverticulum about 10x5 cm arising from anti-mesenteric border around 50 cm proximal to ileo-caecal junction with a fibrous band attached to the fundus and ileum leading to gangrenous diverticulum with clumping of bowel loops along with omental covering. De-twisting and adhesiolysis along with excision of the diverticulum was done with two layered closure of the defect. Conclusion: Axial torsion is the rarest of the complication of MD and should be managed with utmost caution. Excision of the twisted diverticulum with or without wedge resection of the involved ileum is the procedure of choice.
Virtual Criminal Proceedings: The Lithuanian Experience
Authors: Povylius Kristijonas 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Although remote criminal proceedings have existed in Lithuania for some time, they have never been used as extensively as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic demonstrated that remote criminal proceedings could help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and at the same time facilitate the criminal justice process by eliminating, for example, the need to spend time travelling to the location of the proceedings or wasting other resources. For this reason, even after the COVID-19 pandemic, remote criminal proceedings remained popular. However, the remote criminal process is not a neutral substitute for the in-person criminal proceedings. It has an impact on the traditional paradigm of criminal proceedings that is not always positive. This article discusses the regulation of remote criminal proceedings in Lithuania by presenting the findings of an empirical study of Lithuanian lawyers’ perspectives on the remote criminal process which surveyed more than 100 Lithuanian lawyers (judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and pre-trial investigation officers). The article discusses the main advantages and disadvantages of remote criminal proceedings noted by the professionals and identifies legal problems caused by such mode of proceedings. The paper seeks to demonstrate that the development of remote criminal proceedings should be carried out with caution, taking into account its impact on the quality of criminal proceedings and the rights of the participants.
Withdrawal from a Human Rights Treaty and Peremptory Norms of International Law: The case of “Belarus 2020”
Authors: Ulyashyna Liudmila 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The article analyzes the general concept of withdrawal from human rights treaties and addresses a specific case of withdrawal from the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The article argues that the human rights regime, due to its axiological nature, the non-reciprocal character of treaty parties’ relations, and the final beneficiaries´ expectations, needs lex specialis provisions on the withdrawal matters. Moreover, the results of analyses of the United Nations’ bodies show that the general clause on withdrawal being requested by a non-democratic state may lead to the denial of access to international justice for indivi duals and jeopardize the entire human rights protection system. Nowadays, however, the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties does not satisfy the needs of the human rights regime. The United Nations and its mandate holders are recommended to request an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice to clarify the compliance of the termination clause of the human rights treaties with the common values of the international society of states as a whole and the principles of the United Nations.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The article analyses the prospects for the application of artificial intelligence in the delivery of justice by courts. The application of artificial intelligence is increasingly spreading in various different areas of life - both in the daily life of individuals and in the public sector. One of the main areas where artificial intelligence is already being applied is in the area of justice. However, given the complexity and importance of this field, the question arises whether artificial intelligence could really replace the person of the judge. In order to answer this question, the authors first assess what constitutes the delivery of justice. Secondly, the authors analyse the concept of artificial intelligence and the possibilities of its use. Thirdly, the authors assess the potential and risks of artificial intelligence in the delivery of justice. The paper reviews various artificial intelligence models already in use around the world and assesses the application of various technologies (large language models such as ChatGPT) in the court. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to whether artificial intelligence can replace the person of the judge.
Urban encounter: First confirmed record of a golden jackal (Canis aureus) in Vienna, Austria
Authors: Hatlauf Jennifer 
Published: June 2024

Summary
This study reports the first official record of a golden jackal (Canis aureus) in the capital city of Austria, Vienna. The specimen, a young male individual, was discovered as a roadkill in the northern part of the city on January 25th, 2023. It suffered from notable endoparasite and ectoparasite infestations, as well as bacterial pneumonia. Additional field studies with bioacoustic stimulation and the use of a scat detection dog to search for further indications of presence in the area of the accident revealed no further proof of other golden jackals, indicating a high probability of this animal being a disperser in search of a mating partner. This event exemplifies the species' range expansion, driven by a combination of factors. The significance of this discovery and the challenges within the context of mammal research and urban ecology are discussed.
Keeping Land in Grass: Re-Enrollment Motivations with the Environmental Quality Incentive Program after the Conservation Reserve Program
Authors: Harp Aaron J. , Maczko Kristie 
Published: June 2024

Summary
We present data from producers in the upper Great Plains of the US for whom at least one Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contract expired in the last seven years. The survey covered two groups, one with a retired CRP contract and a second with a retired CRP contract who then enrolled in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) program. Most respondents at least tried to re-enroll into CRP, many unsuccessfully. The CRP group primarily moved to crops on the former CRP land, while EQIP respondents focused on cattle and grazing. Awareness of the EQIP program on the part of the CRP group was only 58%. We compared groups regarding what they considered doing with the land at the end of their respective programs, CRP and EQIP. We examined group differences in motivations and attitudes and found evidence of convergence. We also evaluated these differences using effect size statistics to determine their importance to our overall questions. Our overall conclusion is that the groups have a long history of program participation and there is little difference between them in both their motivation to participate and willingness to do so in the future.

Amelioration of Flexural Performance for Reinforced Concrete Beams by Soffit Bonded High Performance Self Compacting Concrete Prisms
Authors: Yas Shiemaa Taha , Al-Hadithy Laith Khalid 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a strengthening technique using a high-performance fibre-reinforced cement-based composite (HPFRCC) mixture. To evaluate the performance of this approach, two types of concrete mixtures were used one high performance and other high strength in strengthening process and compared to strengthening using CFRP laminate. The results showed that the strengthening was in the proportions (42 %, 58.03 %, 74.32 %) for (Mhs, Mcfrp, Mhp), respectively, Where the strengthening improved the bending capacity for beam (Mhp) to a greater extent of the other types and it reduced the appearance of cracks in the beam when loading until occur failure. As appeared failure modes in all elements were due to rupture in the flexure region and crush in the compression region. In addition, ductility index of the strengthened beams was acceptable and energy absorption of the strengthened samples high if compared to the reference beam Therefore, it can be said that this technology may provide a safer alternative for flexural strengthening of RC beams.
