Authors: Baran S. I. 
Published: April 2024

Research on this topic is important and relevant for several reasons. Effective and fair regulation of procedures for the adoption and appeal of normative legal acts at this level is crucial for ensuring the rights and interests of citizens in practice. The alignment of national legal norms with international standards is key for the organic integration of Ukraine into the European legal system, and the processes of decentralization necessitate the study of this topic through the prism of local authorities.
The article uses such research methods as comparison, analysis, induction and deduction.
During the research, results were obtained, consisting of the formation of a clear and comprehensive vision of normative legal acts that regulate the procedures for the adoption and appeal of normative legal acts of local councils in Ukraine. Existing legal problems were highlighted, and solutions were proposed. The primary issue in the normative-legal regulation of the studied topic is the insufficient clarity in defining normative-legal acts and the narrowing of the range of subjects of appeal compared to the Constitution. Considering the points stated in this article will contribute to the improvement of the legal regulation of the discussed issues and the further application of legal norms.
The study of the chosen topic is crucial for understanding and addressing current problems in the regulatory and legal foundations of the functioning of local self-government and ensuring guarantees of the protection of citizens’ rights at the local level.
Further research on this topic allows for a deeper understanding of the role of local self-government in ensuring the harmonious functioning of society and identifying possible ways to improve regulatory and legal frameworks. Specifically, in the context of addressing issues such as the lack of clarity in defining the concept of «regulatory and legal act» and restricting the scope of subjects for challenging regulatory and legal acts, as identified in this study, it is crucial to emphasize the need for transparency in legal processes at the local level. The findings of this research can serve as a foundation for subsequent reforms in the field of local self-government and the establishment of effective mechanisms for protecting citizens’ rights at the local level.

Abstract
The SARS-COV-2 pandemic had an important impact on the diagnosis of all pathologies, including lung cancer. According to Global Cancer Observatory 2020, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death (18%).
The study aims are the comparative evaluation of lung cancer diagnosis and optimal identification of the factors that influenced the establishment of this diagnosis in the pre-pandemic and SARS-COV-2 pandemic periods. This retrospective study included patients >18 years-old, diagnosed with lung carcinoma on surgical specimens in „Marius Nasta” Institute of Pneumophtisiology, grouped in two cohorts: pre-pandemic (March 01, 2019 - February 29, 2020, N=370) and pandemic (March 01, 2020 - February 28, 2021, N=177).
Demographic, clinical, and paraclinical information have been collected from the Institute's database, and statistically analyzed (IBM SPSS Statistics 21). The number of newly diagnosed bronchopulmonary carcinoma decrease almost by half during the first year of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. We noticed a significant increase in the number of patients with professional exposure (p=0.040), atypical resections (p≤0.001), and tumors that couldn't be completely resected (p=0.001), and an ascending trend of lung carcinoma diagnosis in women smokers, even though it wasn't statistically significant (p=0.098). The proportion of newly diagnosed women from rural medium significantly decreased, from 36.45% to 17.65% (p=0.023). The SARS-COV-2 pandemic debut determined a significant under-diagnosis of lung cancer, with an increase in advanced tumors at the time of diagnosis. It is important to further analyze the situation in our country, given the fact that the literature review reported different results, depending on the geographic area.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Heart failure is not a single disease but a clinical syndrome with symptoms and/or signs caused by a structural/functional cardiac abnormality and represents a public health problem, leading to significant functional impairment, morbidity, and poor quality of life. In 2023, 64 million people had been diagnosed with heart failure and needed specific treatment. An important percentage is associated with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) as well. Because of the large etiology of this syndrome treatment should be leaded by the cause who underwent to heart failure. A few glucose-lowering therapies showed their efficacy in treating heart failure for patient with or without T2DM such as sodium glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT-2 inhibitors) but the role of Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) is still investigated. At this point, evidence show no improvement in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) treated with GLP-1 RAs but in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) proves otherwise.

Abstract
We report the case of a 32-year-old male patient, a former smoker, with a known history of SARS-COV-2 infection, mild clinical form, condition that required follow-up evaluation. Despite being oligosymptomatic, the patient reports discreet respiratory symptoms, manifested by dry cough and a sensation of chest tightness. CT thoracic scan revealed a pseudo-nodular, diffusely contoured infiltrate of approximately 10 mm, in the apical left upper lobe segment (LUL), sequelae appearance, thought to represent SARS-COV-2 residual changes, with follow-up recommendation. Three months later, reassessment highlighted a slight progression of the lesion, with a spiculated appearance and umbilicated pleura, a context that mandated further respiratory-specific medical investigations, including bronchoscopic examination and positron emission tomography (PET CT). Given the diagnostic suspicion that included a pathology with neoplastic potential, the firm recommendation was to perform a nodular pulmonary biopsy through video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS). Both the histopathological (HP) and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations supported the diagnosis of primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The therapeutic course was completed by performing a left upper lobectomy with lymphadenectomy. The case is instructive, confirming that SARS-COV-2 infection is a perfect mimic (1), capable of imitating various other conditions.
In this context, the optimal scenario is distinguished, where monitoring after infection contributes to the early and incidental identification of neoplasia, thus suggesting that SARS-COV-2 infection may also offer certain benefits.

Abstract
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) represents a major challenge due to its rare nature and severe impact on patients, characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. This paper describes the case of a 41-year-old patient diagnosed with aHUS in the context of malignant arterial hypertension and severe renal impairment, manifested by anuria and significant azotemic retention syndrome. The complex management of the case, including the use of Eculizumab, a complement inhibitor, highlighted significant therapeutic benefits, especially in improving hematological parameters.
Despite a positive response, challenges related to dosing, monitoring treatment efficacy, and maintaining remission without relapses emphasize the need for adapted therapeutic strategies and a deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms. This case also highlights the importance of individualized approaches and consideration of the possible benefits of dose adjustments based on specific clinical and pharmacological parameters, as well as continuous evaluation of treatment efficacy and safety, in the context of such a variable and potentially devastating syndrome as aHUS.

Authors: Cai Jingcao , Wang Lei 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Energy saving has always been a concern in production scheduling, especially in distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling problems. This study proposes a shuffled frog leaping algorithm with Q-learning (QSFLA) to solve distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling problems with energy-saving(DEHFSP) for minimizing the maximum completion time and total energy consumption simultaneously. The mathematical model is provided, and the lower bounds of two optimization objectives are given and proved. A Q-learning process is embedded in the memeplex search of QSFLA. The state of the population is calculated based on the lower bound. Sixteen search strategy combinations are designed according to the four kinds of global search and four kinds of neighborhood structure. One combination is selected to be used in the memeplex search according to the population state. An energy-saving operator is presented to reduce total energy consumption without increasing the processing time. One hundred forty instances with different scales are tested, and the computational results show that QSFLA is a very competitive algorithm for solving DEHFSP.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The National Synchrotron Radiation Center SOLARIS, ranked among the top infrastructures of that type worldwide, is the only one located in Central-Eastern Europe, in Poland. The SOLARIS Center, with six fully operational beamlines, serves as a hub for research across a diverse range of disciplines. This cutting-edge facility fosters innovation in fields like biology, chemistry, and physics as well as material engineering, nanotechnology, medicine, and pharmacology. With its advanced infrastructure and multidisciplinary approach, the SOLARIS Center enables discoveries and pushes the boundaries of knowledge. The most important aspect of such enormous research as well as industry infrastructure is to provide stable working conditions for the users and the conducted projects. Due to its unique properties, problem complexities, and challenges that require advanced approaches, the problem of anomaly detection and automatic analysis of signals for the beam stability assessment is still a huge challenge that has not been fully developed. To increase the effectiveness of centers with advanced research infrastructure we focus on the automatic analysis of transverse beam profiles generated by the Pinhole diagnostic beam-line. Pinhole beamlines are typically installed in the middle and high-energy synchrotrons to thoroughly analyze emitted X-rays and therefore assess electron beam quality. To address the problem we take advantage of AI solutions including up-to-date pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models among others EfficientNetB0-B4-B6, InceptionV3 and DenseNet121. In this research, we propose the benchmark for Pinhole image classification including data preprocessing, model implementation, training process, hyperparameter selection as well as testing phase. Created from scratch database contains over one million transverse beam profile images. The proposed solution, based on the InceptionV3 architecture, classifies pinhole beamline images with 94.1% accuracy and 96.6% precision which is a state-of-the-art result in this research area. Finally, we employed interpretability algorithms to perform an analysis of the models and achieved results.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The best way for a business to gather pertinent knowledge and apply it for the growth and sustainability of the firm is through communication with its customers. Companies must adapt to today’s data, information, and knowledge-based economy. A company’s ability to evolve depends on how strategically it uses its intangible resources to build its knowledge capital. Digital tools create new channels for client engagement and collaboration. The current study assesses how digital tools affect how businesses interact with their customers and how these tools help customers share knowledge with companies. This study updates knowledge management and customer knowledge management practices in a digital context and serves as an example of these practices. The study aims to address the absence of specific and valuable components in business practices that give them access to client knowledge. The study is conducted on a sample of 10 individuals, managers, and CEOs of Romanian enterprises, using the in-depth interview method. Data from the survey were analyzed and interpreted, and significant results were drawn by comparing them to prior research. The study emphasizes the value of digital tools for customer communication and the potential these platforms provide for gathering knowledge about, for, and from customers. The respondents stressed the significance of knowledge for both the growth of the company and the innovation process. Still, there needs to be more internal structures to manage this knowledge strategically and capitalize on it for the beginning of innovative business approaches. The study identifies the primary challenges to communicating via digital channels and suggests solutions to help companies acquire, share, and use customer data to its fullest potential.
Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations as a Voice for Justice and Humanity during the Russian Invasion
Authors: Vasin Maksym 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has prompted a critical examination of the church’s role as a social institution during times of war. During such circumstances, national and global religious leaders are typically expected to spearhead peacebuilding initiatives focused on saving civilians, protecting critical infrastructure, and mitigating the potential for widespread destruction and humanitarian crises. In this case, however, the Kremlin has actively used the Russian Orthodox Church as well as an array of religious figures to justify Russian aggression and legitimize actions that amount to genocide against the Ukrainian people. In contrast, the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations has assumed the role of a moral guide during the war by condemning, with remarkably unity, Russian war crimes and the destructive ideology of Russkiy mir (the Russian world), and instead advocating for a humane approach and proposing peacebuilding initiatives. This paper details the scope and character of the Council’s activities carried out in wartime, providing numerous illustrative examples.
Ukrainian Evangelicals and the War
Authors: Panych Olena 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The resilience of evangelical communities in Ukraine became evident during the full-scale war started with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as they actively engaged in networking and robust volunteer movements to provide aid and support to those affected by the warfare at the grassroots level. This article delves into the responses of evangelical ministers and believers to the traumatic circumstances arising from the war. The author emphasizes that the war experiences conveyed in the testimonies and narratives of evangelicals are deeply intertwined with their religious experiences and are framed to align with fundamental evangelical values. Confronting the challenges associated with life-threatening situations, irreparable losses, and bereavements, evangelicals interpret these experiences through the lens of their theologically grounded worldview.
Ukrainian Muslims in the Context of the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict
Authors: Brylov Denys 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This article examines the processes of transformation in the Ukrainian Muslim community since the outset of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and also delves into shifts in the state’s policy towards Muslims during this time. Since the conflict began in 2014, the state’s stance towards Muslims has steadily improved. The main reason for this is the unequivocal pro-Ukrainian position taken by nearly all Muslim communities in Ukraine amidst the Russian invasion. The paper assesses the impact of Russian military aggression and the occupation of part of Ukraine’s territory on the country’s Muslim communities. It also highlights the ambiguous role of a number of Islamist movements taking an active part in the armed resistance to the invasion
Fortschreibungen des Wohnens. Ein Vergleich zwischen dem Taufzeugnis und der Berufung der ersten Jünger in Joh. 1
Authors: Pricop Cosmin 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The present study aims to analyze the similarities found between two biblical pericopes in chapter 1 of the Gospel of John, namely the description of the baptism of Jesus by St. John the Baptist and the call to the apostolate of the first disciples. The two pericopes are analyzed from the perspective of the concept of indwelling, which is found in both texts, the first which speaks about the indwelling/location of the Spirit upon Jesus from the Baptism onwards, and the second which presents the indwelling/location of the first disciples at the place where Jesus lived. Both texts demonstrate a similar structure, consisting of five elements: introduction, ignorance or limited knowledge about Jesus, hints about knowing more, success in reaching this higher stage of knowledge, and testimony about what has been achieved.
