Echocardiographic assessment of patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
Authors: Bhandari Roshan , Pantha Srijan , Pandey Ghanashyam , Paudyal Richa 
Published: November 2023

Objectives:
Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients have a high frequency of cardiac functional and structural abnormalities associated with higher mortality. Echocardiography is a valuable tool to assess cardiac structural and functional changes, which helps in stratifying prognostic risk factors and measuring the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional, hospital-based study for 1 year from 2076/11/05 to 2077/11/05 B.S (February 17, 2020, to February 17, 2021, A.D. Total of 65 patients with the diagnosis of ESRD undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) at Chitwan Medical College Hospital meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled. Detailed history, examinations, echocardiographic, and laboratory findings were recorded, and their association was compared with different explanatory variables. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25.

Results:
The most common echocardiography finding among the 65 patients was valvular heart disease (VHD) (78.50%). Among them, 86.2% were undergoing hemodialysis (HD) twice weekly. About 92.7% had hypertension and 52.3% had diabetes mellitus. All had anemia with a mean hemoglobin of 7.86 ± 1.30 g/dL. The most common echocardiography finding was VHD (78.50%). There were statistically significant associations between the age of patients with a prevalence of VHD and systolic dysfunction; the presence of global hypokinesia with body mass index; and the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with calcium levels. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference in the duration of HD was observed with LVH.

Conclusion:
Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality among ESRD patients undergoing MHD. The study identifies various factors influencing echocardiographic parameters in ESRD patients and highlights VHD as the most prevalent echocardiographic finding. It also emphasizes the importance of echocardiography as a valuable tool for assessing cardiac changes in these patients, aiding in risk stratification and the evaluation of therapeutic interventions.

Authors: Karanth Jnanaprakash B. , Hande Vivek , Maribashetti Kiran , Barude Vijaykumar 
Published: November 2023

Objectives:
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) poses a strong diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to emergency physicians and gastroenterologists. There are wide variations in the etiological profile of UGIB, and it often varies with the demography of the patient clientele. A thorough understanding of these changing patterns of the etiological profile, characteristics of the affected patients, and treatment outcomes in the wake of constantly evolving diagnostic and therapeutic protocols are vital for healthcare providers. The aim is to study the clinical profile and assess possible risk factors and endoscopic findings among the patients presenting with UGIB at two different centers: Armed Forces Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital and Civil Tertiary Care Hospital.

Materials and Methods:
This is a cross-sectional observational study conducted at two centers: A tertiary care hospital of the armed forces (n = 113) from September 2015 to January 2018 and a civil tertiary care center in a tier 3 city (n = 178) from January 2019 to November 2021. The study population comprised patients presenting with UGIB. All patients diagnosed with UGIB and confirmed by endoscopy were enrolled in the study.

Results:
The study included patients presenting with UGIB visiting either of the two tertiary care centers. The majority of the study population (75%) was male. Between the two clinical settings, alcohol consumption was higher in proportion in the army tertiary care than those visiting the civil tertiary care. Relatively, a history of UGIB (35%), acid peptic disease (23%), and cirrhosis of the liver (35%) was high among the armed forces tertiary care patients. Among the patients visiting a tier 3 civil hospital, more than two-thirds were diagnosed with gastritis (66.67%) and carcinoma of the esophagus (17%).

Conclusion:
The etiology of UGIB varies with different clinical care settings. The risk factors are majorly driven by sociocultural factors, respectively.

За четырёхлетний период исследований (2019‒2022 годы) на базе ОП Псковский НИИСХ ФГБНУ ФНЦ ЛК была изучена эффективность комплексных удобрений и способов их внесения на двух фонах минеральных удобрений — NPK и NPK + N. Внесение минеральных удобрений в дозе N40P50K70в качестве основного удобрения способствовало повышению общего выхода зерновых единиц с учётом основной и побочной продукции на 0,76 т/га, или на 19,3% к контролю. Все изучаемые препараты в блоке без обработки семян перед посевом на минеральном фоне NPK при внекорневом внесении оказали положительное влияние, однако максимальная эффективность получена от применения «Страда N» —прибавка к фону 1 составила 0,69 т/га. Установлена несколько меньшая результативность препаратов «Кодафол» и «Микроэл» — 0,41‒0,47 т/га. Применение подкормки в дозе N20 способствовало увеличению общей продуктивности озимой ржи, но вело к снижению эффективности изучаемых препаратов. В блоке с обработанными перед посевом препаратом «Микромак» семенами на 1-м минеральном фоне достоверная прибавка 0,51 т/га в среднем за 4 года получена от применения препарата «Страда N». На 2-м минеральном фоне достоверные прибавки к фону составили 0,52‒0,63 т/га зерновых единиц за счёт внекорневого внесения таких жидких комплексных удобрений, как «Страда N» и «Микроэл». От обработки семян перед посевом препаратом «Микромак» продуктивность озимой ржи в среднем увеличилась на 0,47 т/га. Максимальная окупаемость 1 кг минеральных удобрений — 12,1‒12,7 кг зерновых единиц — получена от внесения комплекса минеральных удобрений NPK + N20 в сочетании с предпосевной обработкой семян препаратом «Микромак» и внесением по вегетации дважды препаратов «Микроэл» и «Страда N».
The effect of complex fertilizers and their application techniques was analyzed on two backgrounds of mineral nutrition (NPK and NPK + N) at the Pskov Agricultural Research Institute of the Federal Research Center of Fibre Crops in 2019‒2022. The application of N40P50K70increased total grain yield by 0.76 t ha-1 or 19.3% taking into account by-products as well. All the preparations positively affected crop productivity on the background of NPK however “Strada N” was the most effective — the increase of yield amounted to 0.69 t ha-1. “Kodafol” and “Mikroel” provided the increase of only 0.41‒0.47 t ha-1. The application of N20 improved rye productivity but reduced the effectiveness of the preprarations tested. When treating seeds with “Mikromak” and applying “Strada N” the yield increased significantly by 0.51 t ha-1 on the 1st background. On the 2nd background rye productivity grew by 0.52‒0.63 t ha-1 due to the topdressing by “Strada N” and “Mikroel”. Seed treatment by “Mikromak” improved the yield by 0.47 t ha-1. The fertilization by NPK + N20 in combination with the seed treatment by “Mikromak” and the application of “Mikroel” and “Strada N” two times resulted in the highest payback of 1 kg of mineral fertilizers — 12.1‒12.7 kg of grain.

Interpretation and application of Article 404 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine on court initiative: case law of the Criminal Court of Cassation
Authors: Hloviuk I. V. 
Published: November 2023

The issue of interpretation of Part 3 of Art. 404 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine regarding the initiative of the court of appeal in the examination of evidence has been investigated: at the request of the parties to the court proceedings, the court of appeal is obliged to re-examine the circumstances established during criminal proceedings, provided that they were not fully or with violations investigated by the court of first instance, and may examine evidence which was not investigated by the court of first instance, only if the parties to the court proceedings request such examination. This is due to the opposite interpretation of this provision by the courts, including the Criminal Court of Cassation of the Supreme Court. The accuracy of the literal interpretation of this provision has been argued.
Taking into account the peculiarities of proof at the stage of appellate proceedings, in particular, the controlling nature and dependence on the positions of the parties to criminal proceedings, part 3 of Article 404 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine should be interpreted as follows: when the court of appeal examines circumstances or evidence without a request of a party to criminal proceedings, it thereby goes beyond the scope of the complaint; if the court of appeal goes beyond the scope of the complaint, it is obliged to comply with the restrictions provided for in part 2 of Article 404 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
The conclusion has been made that examination of evidence by the court of appeal on its own initiative, without a relevant request from a party to the proceedings, to establish certain circumstances to be proved or to provide a different assessment of certain evidence which was assessed by the local court, when considering an appeal filed to worsen the position of the accused, is a violation of the principle of competition between the parties and freedom to present their evidence and prove their conviction before the court, as set out in Art. 22 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine of the principle of adversarial nature of the parties and their freedom to present their evidence and prove their conviction before the court, and may indicate a lack of impartiality and accusatory bias of the court in a particular criminal proceeding.
Transitional justice mechanisms and processes: international experience for restoring Ukraine’s sovereignty and national security
Authors: Cherviakova O. V. 
Published: November 2023

The mechanisms and processes used in post-conflict countries that contributed to the restoration and ensuring of sustainable peace after the end of armed conflict or active hostilities are analysed. Among the elements of transitional justice, the author identifies those whose implementation is appropriate and possible before the end of the active phase of the conflict in Ukraine: bringing to individual responsibility, recording, documenting and collecting evidence of crimes allegedly committed on the territory of Ukraine (including war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression), cooperation with the International Criminal Court on international crimes, determining the procedure for bringing the top military and political leadership of the russian federation to justice (tribunal); establishing the circumstances of the conflict and recording them, which is especially important in the context of information and psychological operations and other methods of hybrid warfare used by the Russian Federation. With regard to reparations and guarantees of non-recurrence of the conflict, it is already advisable to discuss both issues, develop strategies for compensating Ukraine for losses and act during and after the de-occupation of the territories.
It has been also noted that the issue of exemption from liability and punishment may be raised during negotiations on the terms of ending the conflict, as well as the issue of mitigation of punishment in case of guilt and cooperation in establishing the truth. In this aspect, the experience of Colombia has been analysed with a reservation regarding the individualisation of the concept of transitional justice, taking into account specific circumstances. In particular, it has been determined that for Ukraine, the experience of transitional justice in Colombia can be taken into account when addressing a number of issues of amnesty, organisation of work of truth commissions and others, with an understanding of the different nature of the conflict in Colombia, which is purely internal (non-international armed conflict).
Ukraine’s debt security in the context of military conflict
Authors: Pavlenko N. V. 
Published: November 2023

In the context of military conflict, security issues come to the fore in all spheres of state life. As the combat capability of the army largely depends on the financing of its needs, the problem of finding additional financial resources is becoming more acute. However, the economy is currently unable to cope with this task due to the destruction of the material and technical base and logistics routes, military mobilisation of some employees, the outflow of labour resources abroad and other factors resulting from the armed aggression. Therefore, the search for ways to improve debt security in the context of a military conflict is of utmost importance.
The purpose of the article is to identify the ways to increase the level of debt security of Ukraine's economy. To achieve this goal, the state, dynamics and structure of public and publicly guaranteed debt for 2013–2022 have been analysed. It has been established that over the past ten years, the volume of total public debt has been steadily increasing. This was mainly due to an increase in such components as direct public and external debt. The fastest growth in total public and publicly guaranteed debt was in the years of military operations.
The analysis of the state debt security indicators has shown a deterioration in the state of debt security and the approach of a debt crisis. Due to the significant complication of the conditions in which Ukraine's economy has been operating over the past year, it is proposed to revise the Medium-Term Public Debt Management Strategy for 2021–2024 to define new targets and approaches in this area. Currently, the Ministry of Finance's main task is to restructure domestic and external debt.
In order to increase the level of debt security of Ukraine, it has been proposed to initiate the development of an international protocol for debt cancellation for countries affected by armed aggression. In the course of domestic debt restructuring, it has been suggested that the yield on domestic government bonds should be reduced, but this can only be done if monetary policy is changed.
