Selective anterior annuloplasty during inguinal herniotomy in boys: an approach to further reduce hernia recurrence
Authors: Aljazaeri Ayman , AlKhashan Raghad , AlRabah Razan Naif , Zayed Sadem Al , Al-jazaeri Sara 
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:
Hernia recurrence is one of the most common complications after inguinal herniotomy (IH) in children. We describe a novel approach that involves adding anterior annuloplasty (AAP) during IH for selective high recurrence-risk children.

OBJECTIVES:
Evaluate the initial safety and effectiveness of selective AAP during IH in boys.

DESIGN:
Retrospective

SETTING:
Tertiary care center.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
The study included boys younger than 15 who were selected to undergo either IH with or without AAP between January 2011 and January 2022. The preoperative recurrence risks were compared for the two groups. Cases who underwent other forms of hernia repair were excluded.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
The frequency of recurrence and other postoperative complications and the distribution of high recurrence-risks.

SAMPLE SIZE:
315 boys; 143 underwent IH and AAP, while 172 had IH only.

RESULTS:

Among all the cases, only one recurrence was reported (0.3%). Other complications were hydrocele in 29 (9.2%), scrotal hematoma/inflammation in 9 (2.9%), and wound infection in 8 (2.6%), which resolved spontaneously in all cases. Compared to IH only, those selected for an additional AAP were significantly younger (3 [16%] vs. 12 [46%] months,
P
=.038) and more likely to be premature (35 [24.5%] vs. 15 [8.7%],
P
<.0001), frequently had extensive cremasteric adhesions (39.2% versus 3.5%,
P
<.0001) and had a higher rate of incarcerated hernia at presentation (6.3% versus 1.2%,
P
=.026). The high-recurrence risk group was almost twice as likely to be selected for an additional AAP compared to the low-risk group (143 vs. 75,
P
<.0001).

CONCLUSION:
Adding simple AAP to conventional hernia repair for high-recurrence risk boys can be a safe and effective step to reduce the overall risk of recurrence without increasing the incidence of other postoperative complications.

LIMITATIONS:
The study lacked a control group of patients to whom selective AAP would not be offered despite a high-recurrence risk. A prospective, controlled trial with a longer follow-up would lead to a stronger conclusion.
Overall and progression-free survival in endometrial carcinoma: A single-center retrospective study of patients treated between 2000-2018
Authors: Sait Khalid H. , Anfinan Nisreen , Sait Hesham , Shamrani Hanan , Sait Maram 
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:
Investigating survival in endometrial cancer (EC) is crucial to determine the effectiveness of overall management as it will reflect on the level of care provided among this population.

OBJECTIVE:
The study was conducted to analyze the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in treated endometrial carcinoma and to determine the associated predictors.

DESIGN:
Retrospective

SETTING:
Department of obstetrics and gynecology in university tertiary hospital

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Baseline demographic and clinical data, tumor characteristics and perioperative and outcome data were collected from consecutive patients treated for EC between 2000 and 2018. Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression were used to analyze factors and predictors of OS and PFS.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
OS, PFS and prognostic factors

SAMPLE SIZE:
200

RESULT:

Endometrioid type was the most common type accounting for 78.5% of the cases, followed by papillary serous carcinoma (18.5%). At diagnosis, 21.5% were stage III, and 12.0% were stage IV. Invasiveness features showed involvement of the myometrium (96.5%), lymph vessels (36.5%), cervix stroma (18.5%), lower segment (22.0%), and parametrium (7.0%). The majority of patients had open surgery (80.0%), while 11.5% and 7.0% had laparoscopy and robotic surgery, respectively. Staging and debulking were performed in 89.0% of patients, and 12.5% of patients had residual disease of more than 2 cm. The mean OS and PFS were 104.4 (95% CI=91.8–117.0) months and 96.8 (95% CI=83.9–109.7) months, respectively. The 5-year OS and PFS were 62.5% and 46.9%, respectively. The majority of the factors we assessed were significantly associated with OS or PFS. However, reduced OS was independently associated age ≥60 years (hazard ratio [HR]=1.99,
P
=.010), papillary serous carcinoma (HR=2.35,
P
=.021), and residual disease (HR=3.84,
P
=.007); whereas PFS was predicted by age ≥60 years (HR=1.87,
P
=.014) and residual disease (HR=3.22,
P
=.040).

CONCLUSION:
There is a need for a national strategy to tackle the growing burden of EC, by identifying the locally-specific incidence, delayed diagnosis and survival outcome.

LIMITATIONS:
This was a single-center study conducted at a tertiary center, which may question the generalizability of the findings, as the sample may be biased by overrepresentation with patients who were diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Economic efficiency of cassava farming
Authors: Cahyaningsih Anggi Fitria , Rahayu Endang Siti , Kusnandar Kusnandar 
Published: October 2023

Purpose. This research aims to analyze the level of economic efficiency of cassava farming and the determinants that affect the efficiency level in the Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia.
Methodology / approach. The research location was determined using the stratified random sampling method, and three sub-districts were selected in Wonogiri Regency, namely Ngadirojo, Jatiroto, and Puhpelem. Furthermore, this research used a random sampling method with respondents of 74 monoculture cassava farmers. The analysis method was the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to analyze the economic efficiency of cassava farming and Tobit regression to analyze the determinants that affected it. Furthermore, primary data was obtained from respondents through interviews, and secondary data as a complement was obtained from relevant agencies.
Results. This research showed that the level of economic efficiency (EE) of cassava farming in the Wonogiri Regency was 68.3 %. From the results of economic efficiency, there was an opportunity to improve efficiency by reducing input inefficiency by 13.1 % and minimizing input costs by 21.1 %. The determinants of factors that affected cassava farming were considered from the socio-economic factors, namely experience, educational level, and participation of farmers in farmer groups.
Originality / scientific novelty. Studies on the effectiveness of cassava have never been conducted in Central Java, even though Central Java is one of the three centers of cassava production in Indonesia. The efficiency of farming cassava in this research was not only considered from the technical side but also from the allocative and economic side, as well as the socio-economic character of the farmer’s environment. This research analyzed the efficiency of cassava farming with a nonparametric approach, namely Data Envelopment Analysis. Usually, efficiency research is approached with parametric analysis, namely production function analysis with Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA).
Practical value / implications. It is recommended to use optimal inputs, especially seeds and fertilizers, which can be applied in cassava farming to reduce inefficiency. The need for fertilizer is related to the land’s condition, where the land in Wonogiri Regency has a steep slope, making it prone to erosion and sedimentation. Then, it affects the decline of the soil layer and the need for fertilizer. The role of the government is required because it is necessary to facilitate access to farmers and provide information about input use.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to assess the level and trends of state support for agriculture in Ukraine, to determine its post-war measures and programmes and to improve the method of allocating funds among state support programmes at the stage of drafting budget declarations and requests by central and regional executive bodies that implement the agricultural policy.
Methodology / approach. Analysis and synthesis were used to determine the level of state support for agriculture and its impact on its development. Assessment of the effectiveness of financing individual agricultural support programs was made using regulatory, calculation and constructive methods. Mathematical modelling methods were used to optimise the distribution of budget funds in various areas of state support for rural commodity producers aimed at forming fixed capital. Techniques of the abstract and logical toolkit allowed formulating intermediate and final conclusions.
Results. The study focuses on the directions of support for the agricultural sector of Ukraine in wartime and in the post-war period. It was established that in order to resume the operation of agricultural enterprises in the liberates territories, which produce grain and cultivate oil crops, about USD 1.370–1.500 of fixed capital are needed for 1 ha of crops and USD 1.340–1.400 of working capital. It was estimated that in 2023 the lack of working capital in Ukraine for the cultivation of grain and oil crops, with the area of their crops being at the level of 2022, will amount to about UAH 41.5 billion. It is established that support programmes for Ukrainian producers of agricultural products should be developed on the basis of the Roadmap for the Recovery in Ukraine in order to achieve the indicators of the Strategy for Ukraine’s Agro-Industrial Complex Development.
Originality / scientific novelty. The scientific value of the study is in conducting a comparative assessment of the support of agriculture in Ukraine and the EU in 2019–2021, highlighting measures of state support for the agricultural sector of Ukraine in wartime and in the post-war period. The method of allocation of funds among state support programmes at the stage of drafting budget declarations and requests by central and regional executive bodies that implement the agricultural policy has been improved.
Practical value / implications. The practical value of this study is the fact that it can be used as a source and tool in the development of relevant plans and programs aimed at the development of agriculture in Ukraine.

Published: October 2023

Purpose. The article aims – to identify current trends, determine the level of state support and prospects for the development of the dairy industry in Ukraine in the post-war period, taking into account cooperation with the EU.
Methodology / approach. The research was conducted using the comparison method with the nearest EU country – Poland. The analysis of indicators of the development of the dairy industry was carried out on the basis of the data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Poland, Eurostat, and Statista company using methods of relative values, a series of dynamics.
Results. Analysis of the dynamics of the main dairy industry indicators in Ukraine revealed a long-term trend towards a decrease in milk production volumes. During 1990–2021, the volume of milk production decreased by 3 times, and the number of cows decreased by 5 times. Since 2020, the dairy industry has shifted from being export-oriented to becoming dependent on imports. On the other hand, Poland, which is geographically and climatically close to Ukraine, shows the opposite dynamics of the dairy industry development. Studying the functioning of the dairy sector in Poland revealed a high level of state financial support and fiscal stimulation. The study shows that the financial support of the dairy industry of Ukraine is noticeably insufficient, and the fiscal stimulation provided is inadequate. Moreover, the efficiency of managing budget funds is low. The situation is further complicated by the ongoing military aggression from russia. Considering the constraints of state funding, it is suggested that the array of instruments for supporting animal husbandry should be tailored based on the scale of entrepreneurial entities involved; differentiation in the provision of state support should also apply to agricultural producers in the de-occupied territories. In order to fully and promptly manage the amount of financing, it is necessary to speed up the procedure for distributing funds between areas and approving financial documentation; it is expedient to consider the possibility of payments for the keeping dairy cattle for small business entities without the need for coordination with the main manager of funds.
Originality / scientific novelty. The obtained results allow a deeper investigation of the main development issues of the Ukrainian dairy industry in the pre-war period and under martial law in the context of further European integration.
Practical value / implications. The study’s findings can be the basis for further scientific research in the direction of developing a comprehensive set of measures to stimulate Ukraine’s dairy industry. This is of particular importance in the post-war period promoting the restoration of food security.

Published: October 2023

La relevancia de este articulo esta fundamentada entre la competitividad empresarial y el uso de bonos de carbono como instrumentación para adaptarse al cambio climático, estos bonos tienen la capacidad de incentivar la reducción de emisiones de GEI, permitiendo que las empresas compensen sus emisiones por medio de proyectos de conservación de ambientes naturales; asimismo se investiga como la adaptación e implementación de prácticas sostenibles genera ventajas estratégicas para la empresas, haciéndolas más competitivas en un mercado que le importa la responsabilidad corporativa y la sustentabilidad. Además de ayudar a reducir las emisiones y mejorar la imagen pública, el uso de bonos de carbono permite beneficios financieros a las organizaciones; destacando un caso irlandés donde las empresas que cultivan algas marinas emiten bonos de carbono, aprovechan esta ventaja que otorga esta biomasa en términos de crecimiento rápido y beneficios eco-sistémicos. La investigación abarca también el impacto de las prácticas sostenibles en la rentabilidad financiera de las organizaciones, se expresa que la adopción de estas prácticas sostenibles, como la eficiencia energética y la reducción de residuos, trae ahorros en costos, en contextos de eficiencia operativa, además como valor agregado la fidelización de clientes y oportunidades de financiamiento. Se hace mención de las iniciativas locales, donde se ha implementado desde lo legislativo, normativas legales que estimulan el cuidado y protección del medio ambiente, y de igual forma políticas de mitigación para el cambio climático, por otro lado como entes gubernamentales usan instrumentos económicos para fijar el precio de los bonos de carbono.

В статье приводится критический анализ наиболее чувствительных для адвокатов России по- ложений законопроекта «О внесении изменений и дополнений в Федеральный закон «Об адвокатской деятель- ности и адвокатуре в РФ», получившего резкую негативную реакцию адвокатского сообщества России, как законопроекта о Комплексной информационной системе Адвокатуры России (КИС АР). Автор, ссылаясь на ряд положений действующего российского законодательства, международные стандарты адвокатской профессии, научные исследования российских юристов, отмечает полное несоответствие и противоречие внедряемой КИС АР принципам построения российской адвокатуры, делает вывод о том, что в целом предлагаемые поправки в Закон представляют угрозу адвокатской тайне и иным охраняемым законом данным, являющимся тайной, прокладывают путь к огосударствлению российской адвокатуры и вмешательству в адвокатскую деятельность. Статья обладает достаточной научной ценностью и имеет практическую значимость, поскольку не только выявлены пробелы и явно негативные для адвокатов моменты нынешнего законопроекта, но и предложено учесть в законотворческом процессе практику международных органов и международных организаций по во- просам независимости юристов.

THE PROBLEM OF SOLICITING LAWYERS LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM THE DUTY ADVANCED TRAINING
Authors: ВОРОНОВ А.А. 
Published: October 2023

В работе анализируются нормативно-правовые аспекты обеспечения и проблемы исполнения адвокатами обязанностей по повышению квалификации в России, а также пробелы в регламентации механиз- ма привлечения адвокатов к ответственности за неисполнение обязанности по повышению квалификации. В ходе проведенного анализа делается заключение, что правовая основа, регламентирующая принципы, организационные особенности и вопросы практической реализации механизма повышения квалификации адвокатов, не является полностью сформированной и имеет тенденции к корректировке в свете последних изменений действующего законодательства, международной и политической обстановки, а также професси- ональных потребностей самих адвокатов с учетом их специализации в условиях активной цифровизации основ- ных государственных институтов и институтов гражданского общества. Выявлены нормативные лакуны и не- достатки в части правовой возможности и практической реализации самого механизма привлечения адвокатов к дисциплинарной ответственности за неисполнение (ненадлежащее исполнение) обязанности по повышению квалификации. Делается вывод о необходимости разработки единого алгоритма и методики повышения квалификации адвокатов, формирования критериев допустимости и достаточности вариантов повышения квалификации, а в части решения проблемы привлечения адвоката к дисциплинарной ответственности – вывод о необходимости корректировки соответствующих норм Кодекса профессиональной этики адвокатов, где должны быть пропи- саны необходимые формы реагирования на нарушения и конкретные виды наступающей ответственности без допущения возможных оценочных суждений органами адвокатских палат при рассмотрении дисциплинарных производств.
