Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
In patients with gastrointestinal cancer with planned elective surgery, malnutrition increases the risk of adverse outcomes in the postoperative period. The phase angle, measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis is an indicator of the metabolic and functional status of the patient. It may be an important prognostic indicator for the clinical outcome of post-surgical treatment in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

Patients and methods
In this prospective study, 70 patients with gastrointestinal cancer had their phase angles measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis before the surgery. During the first month after the surgery, we documented the postoperative complications from the patient's records and classified them according to the Clavien Dindo classification of surgical complications. The time of hospitalization was also recorded. The data was statistically analysed in SPSS.

Results
We found a statistically significant difference (p = 0.036) in the average value of phase angles between the group of patients who had postoperative complications (phase angle 5.09°) and the group without postoperative complications (5.64°). We noted a correlating trend of decreasing phase angle values and increasing hospitalization time (Pe R = −0,40, p = 0,001). The phase angle cut-off value (5.5°) was calculated using the ROC curve method, predicting a higher risk of the postoperative complications (p = 0,037) in patients with lower phase angle.

Conclusions
Lower phase angle values before surgery were associated with more complications during the first month after surgery and longer hospitalization time. We found that a phase angle below than 5.5° could serve as a marker that predicts a greater risk of postoperative complications.

Authors: Balcilar Mehmet , Agan Busra 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the role of environmental policies and regulations in mitigating climate change by promoting clean innovations and discouraging dirty ones. Utilizing nonparametric copula and quantile estimation techniques, along with carefully constructed innovation variables based on patents from 2000 to 2021 across 34 countries, the research examines the effects of policy interventions and external events on energy-related innovations. Findings reveal that climate policy interventions effectively promote clean innovation, particularly at higher levels, and discourage dirty innovations. Therefore, climate change policies and regulations are crucial in achieving net-zero carbon emission targets.
The COVID 19 Pandemic as a Moral Test for Society
Authors: Breczko Anetta , Breczko Agata , Martinez Rafael Antonio Lopez 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic brings up unprecedented challenges. Healthcare practitioners find themselves in an extraordinary, wartime-like situation and are obliged to apply triage on a daily basis. In this context, routine procedures prove insufficient and the redefinition of ethical practice guidelines becomes a necessity – leading not only to a shift in procedures, but also reshaping the very value of human life. This, in turn, triggers an axiological crisis, which exacerbates the tension between paradigms of sanctity and quality of life and the conflicting principles of egalitarianism and utilitarianism. Triage should not be limited to healthcare practice only: the concept can be extended to a macro-level where policymakers decide whether to prioritize human lives over livelihoods and economic health, impacting healthcare system capacity. The complexity of the challenges arising from the pandemic uncovers the urgent need to seek solutions from an integrated approach. In this paper, we offer a transdisciplinary view: we first define technical aspects of triage from the perspective of a healthcare professional. In the second part, we further analyze the problem of medical prioritization in the light of doctrinal findings related to the value of human life, and we show how and to what extent this philosophical debate is reflected in the emerging ethical guidelines in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany and Austria. Finally, we broaden the concept of triage, adding the “macro-economic” ingredient in our analysis and we present the results for selected European countries with special emphasis on the case of Poland.
Fatores preditivos no diagnóstico dos endometriomas em relação ao resultado anatomopatológico em pacientes usuárias dos sistemas público e privado
Authors: Vieira Costa Pollyana Helena 
Published: December 2023

Introdução: A prevalência de endometriomas em pacientes jovens está associada a sintomas álgicos, infertilidade e alterações no contexto psicossocial e na qualidade de vida dessas pacientes. A identificação de um exame de imagem no pré-operatório com acurácia no diagnóstico desses cistos, proporcionaria um manejo terapêutico mais preciso, seguro e adequado na condução desse cisto ovariano. Objetivo: Investigar a acurácia do diagnóstico principal da internação em relação aos exames de imagem (USTV e RNM) e diagnóstico per-operatório com aquele obtido no exame anatomopatológico em pacientes com suspeita de endometrioma ovariano e de cistos anexiais. Metodologia: Estudo observacional retrospectivo – 80 prontuários de pacientes submetidas à cirurgia de cistos ovarianos no SUS e saúde suplementar. A concordância entre diagnósticos à internação, USTV e per-operatório com o resultado anatomopatológico em relação ao endometrioma e outros cistos foi avaliada via coeficiente de concordância Kappa. Resultados: À internação: endometrioma (15,6%) e cisto complexo ao USTV (50%). Pacientes do SUS tiveram menor prevalência de sintomas álgicos e acesso cirúrgico laparoscópico (p<0,001). Comparando-se diagnósticos na internação, USTV, per-operatório com anatomopatológico em pacientes do convênio, observou-se, p<0,05. Nos pacientes do SUS, observou-se p<0,010. Conclusão: É possível concluir que uma concordância é considerada alta em pacientes do SUS e moderada nos de convênio.
Méthodologie d’observation de comportements cachés - Consommation d’alcool, drogues et autres addictions
Authors: Balsa Casimiro , Urbano Cláudia , Vital Clara 
Published: December 2023

Cet ouvrage examine les difficultés méthodologiques associées à la réalisation d’enquêtes en population générale visant à obtenir la représentativité d’agrégats (âge, sexe, région…) au niveau national. Ces difficultés sont particulièrement importantes quand il s’agit d’enquêter sur la consommation de substances psychoactives, surtout si elles sont illicites. Dans ce cas, en effet, au-delà de se cacher d’un ordre normatif juridique, sanitaire et moral qui les condamne, les comportements tendent également à être dissimulés au cours de la relation d’enquête. En nous appuyant sur vingt ans d’expérience avec ce type d’étude, nous discutons 1) les raisons, les modalités et le sens des stratégies de dissimulation et les moyens pour les prendre en charge; 2) les questions de fidélité et de validité des instruments et des techniques de collecte d’informations au cours du temps ; 3) l’effet des techniques de collecte (face à face, téléphone et internet) sur les résultats obtenus et 4) les problèmes posés aussi bien au niveau du suivi national que de la comparaison transnationale par la variation, au cours du temps et dans l’espace, des critères de mesure de la consommation et de ses effets.
ПЕДАГОГІЧНІ ОСНОВИ КРАЄЗНАВЧОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ М.Д. ЛЕОНТОВИЧА
Authors: Губаль Алла 
Published: December 2023

Одним із головних пріоритетів стратегічного розвитку держави є інтеграція України до Європейського співтовариства. У статті узaгaльнeнo нaукoвi пoгляди тa синтез педагогічного краєзнавства, дитячo-молодіжного фольклору та вихoвaння творчої ocoбиcтocтi в ocвiтньoму пpoцеci талановитого митця-педагога М.Д. Леонтовича (1877–1921). У центрі краєзнавчо-педагогічної концепції видатного майстра мистецтв перебуває вихованець з його природженими задатками, здібностями, можливостями, талантами, адже навчити і виховати школярів, здатних у просторо-часовому континуумі адаптуватися в умовах середовища, приймати самостійні рішення, з часом стати здатними до свідомого суспільного вибору, може тільки творча, компетентна особистість учителя. Квінтесенцією педагогічно-краєзнавчих доробок М.Д. Леонтовича була тема фундаментального визнання української народної пісні як генетичного носія національної ідеї, виразника рідної мови, патріотичних почуттів та морально-етичних цінностей нашого народу. Автор дослідження сподівається, що розглянуті аспекти зазначеної проблематики будуть корисними культурологам, мистецтвознавцям та фахівцям мистецької освіти. Дослідження зумовлене тим, що історичний розвиток краєзнавчо-ексцизійної справи в контексті соціокультурної інтеграції України є ще недостатньо вивченим і потребує подальшого поглибленого осмислення.

Published: December 2023

У статті проаналізовано теоретико-методичні аспекти персоналізації процесу професійної підготовки у ЗВО засобами технології тьюторингу; здійснено огляд наукової літератури на предмет обґрунтування концептуальних засад процесу персоналізації навчання. Визначено роль персоналізації навчання у формуванні суб’єктної позиції студента у процесі фахової підготовки та у створенні індивідуальної освітньої траєкторії.
Доведено, що ефективним засобом реалізації ідеї персоналізації навчання є тьюторська технологія як послідовна взаємопов’язана система дій викладача, спрямована на виконання завдань проєктування індивідуальної освітньої програми студента. Акцентовано, що процес навчання в умовах реалізації технології тьюторингу здійснюється у процесі академічної та квазіпрофесійної діяльності, що сприяє набуттю майбутніми фахівцями досвіду виконання професійних і транспрофесійних завдань.

Authors: Кучукова Зухра Ахметовна , Берберова Лиана Бурхановна 
Published: December 2023

Представлено и проанализировано содержание монографии М. В. Ондар «Особенности языка тувинских героических сказаний (в сопоставительном аспекте)», изданной в 2022 г. в г. Абакане. Актуальность работы определяется обращением к проблеме ревитализации архетипических лексико-семантических пластов миноритарных языков, географически относящихся к Сибирскому ареалу РФ. Дана высокая оценка методике компаративного анализа эпических текстов с применением современных цифровых технологий (программа AntConc). Монография представляет собой инновационный и результативный исследовательский труд, отличающийся композиционной стройностью, оригинальной научной концепцией, строгим академическим стилем изложения материала, осведомленностью автора в категориях смежных наук (история, география, этнология, культурология). В ретроспективной части работы освещен целый комплекс вопросов, связанных с историей сбора материалов и публикаций, введением в научный оборот тувинских героических сказаний, унификацией фольклористической терминологии. Тезис о плодотворности компаративных исследований доказан и подкреплен практикой многоуровневого анализа тувинских и южносибирско-тюркских героических сказаний на предмет определения этнолингвокультурных соответствий и расхождений. Выявленные с помощью программы-конкордансера высокочастотные антропонимические, топонимические и военные лексические единицы тщательно проинтерпретированы и использованы в аргументациях о наличии сходных моделей языковой категоризации мира, исторически сложившихся у тувинцев, алтайцев, шорцев, хакасов и монголов. Аналогичный алгоритм работы был использован для объективизации таких структурных единиц как «клише-пространство», «клише-время», «клише — портретная характеристика», «зачин», «концовка», подкрепленной яркими иллюстративными примерами из соответствующих эпических текстов. Монография снабжена серией таблиц, наглядно отражающих результаты компаративных исследований автора. По своему содержанию работа М. В. Ондар близка философской концепции Г. Д. Гачева о «Космо-Психо-Логосе» и стимулирует дальнейшие научные разработки в этом направлении с обращением к фольклорно-языковым системам других народов России и мира.
Community Preparedness, Acceptability, and Uptake of UTT Services in PHC Facilities
Authors: Mhlari Dzunisani B. , Mokgatle Mathildah M. , Mogale Ntlogeleng M. , Seretlo Raikane J. 
Published: December 2023

Background: The Universal Test and Treat (UTT) strategy ensures that people test and initiate early treatment in health facilities. Communities have benefited from this strategy to help manage HIV and prevent the spread of the disease, but the way people perceive the strategy and their experiences of testing and initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the same day have an impact on their remaining on treatment and on their adherence. The aim of the study: The aim of this study was to describe the perceptions and explore the experiences of newly enrolled patients regarding the UTT strategy employed in health facilities in Kgetleng sub-district. Method: This is a qualitative study that used in-depth interviews to describe the perceptions and explore the experiences of newly enrolled patients regarding the UTT strategy employed in health facilities in Kgetleng sub-district. The twenty-seven participants were purposefully selected from three health facilities in the sub-district. The data were collected and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results: The participants reported that they were not knowledgeable about or aware of the strategy until they tested positive in their clinics. HIV testing services (HTS) are still underused, as the participants presented to the facilities only when they were seriously ill, had various symptoms, or were pregnant. They described accepting their status and treatment because they were already sick, and there was nothing that they could do but take treatment. Despite the different emotions they experienced, the participants were able to accept their treatment and their status. Surprisingly, those who were still in denial also accepted treatment. Some were able to disclose and received support from their family, partners, and friends, but others had not disclosed. The data also showed their fear of stigmatization if they were seen coming to the clinic frequently. Conclusion: Being diagnosed with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is still a source of embarrassment. There is still a need to educate communities about the virus, encourage them to use HTS, and empower them with information to minimize stigma and promote social support.

Enhancing Gas Sensing Performance of TiO2-ZnO nanostructures: Effect of ZnO Concentration
Authors: Oleiwi Dr. Hind Fadhil , Abdul Kareem Israa 
Published: December 2023

Gas sensors based on titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites are considered energy-saving devices that are utilized to find dangerous or harmful gases in an environment. The performance of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensors have been improved by spin-coating a TiO2 and TiO2:ZnO nanocomposite with varying concentrations (90TiO2:10ZnO, 70TiO2:30ZnO, and 50TiO2:50ZnO). To correlate structural properties with gas-sensing behavior, structural and morphological characterization has been done using FESEM, XRD, and EDX. Without any ZnO-specific crystalline phase, TiO2 X-ray diffraction was found to be indexed in the anatase crystalline structure. The ZnO is synthesized in the wurtzite phase with (002) orientation and has a smooth surface, according to the morphologies and crystalline structure of the films, which also indicated the presence of ZnO components with various crystallite sizes and lattice strains. Responses to NO2 are increased by low ZnO content. Additionally, at the average operating temperature of 250 oC, TiO2:ZnO shows a good response.
