Abstract
The pandemic situation associated with the Covid-19 disease has changed people's lives and significantly affected the functioning of companies and organizations. Managers of industrial companies faced a new situation and had to look for new solutions to the problems that arose. Employees were forced to get used to new conditions and adapt not only to new private along with new work situations caused by the pandemic. The success of any organization depends on its employees, which is why a high-quality human resource management was important also in the pandemic situation. The aim of the article is to interpret the results of research aimed at identifying priorities in the field of human resource management in terms of the situation before and during the pandemic as well as the priorities that will dominate after the return to the standard work regime. The collection tool was a questionnaire distributed online. As many as 70 managers and specialists from industrial companies in Slovakia took part in the questionnaire survey. The obtained data were evaluated through descriptive statistics, in the form of graphs and tables. The results can be useful for practice of industrial companies in the field of setting priorities, or evaluating and comparing the situation in the field of human resource management before and during the pandemic as well as after the return to the standard work regime.

Authors: Harrell Carl Randall , Volarevic Vladislav 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) results in the increased tear film osmolarity and leads to the development of dry eye disease. Results obtained in several experimental and clinical studies suggested that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could promote repair and regeneration of injured meibomian glands. We recently developed a new biological product “derived-Multiple Allogeneic Proteins Paracrine Signaling (d-MAPPS)” which activity was based on the effects of immunosuppressive and trophic factors secreted by MSCs. Herewith, we report a case of MGD treated by d-MAPPS containing eye drops, demonstrating therapeutic potential of d-MAPPS in regeneration of injured meibomian glands and in the attenuation of MGD. D-MAPPS containing eye drops significantly attenuated MGD-related symptoms (foreign body sensation, burning, pain in the eye and eye fatigue) and remarkably improved quality of life. The analysis of meibomian glands demonstrated restoration of meibomian gland morphology, structure and function, after the 3-weeks of d-MAPPS based therapy. MGD patient did not report any adverse effects related to the d- MAPPS administration, indicating that d-MAPPS containing eye drops were safe for intraocular application.
Non-detective space of the Spanish noir: “The Invisible Guard” by Dolores Redondo
Authors: Korzhukova E. S. 
Published: June 2023

Spanish noir is only gaining popularity among the Russian audience, although it is quite famous in other countries outside Spain. Several works, mainly by foreign authors, studied this kind of black detective, certain features of the genre. However, in the context of the non-detective novel space of the works by the Spanish writer Dolores Redondo, such studies do not exist yet. That is why a comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon in the novel «El guardián invisible», 2013 («The Invisible Guard») from «Trilogía del Baztán» (Bastan Trilogy) seems to be relevant. The purpose of the study is to describe Spanish noir through the structural and analytical characteristics of the non-detective components of the genre. The research is based on literary, cultural and artistic analysis of the novel. The analytical base is not only the original text of the novel, but also a series of interviews by the author containing her interesting revelations. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that Spanish noir has left the boundaries of the classic detective story, thus turning into a kind of “regional” or “local” black detective story. Its integral elements are the inclusion of the plot space in a specific cultural and geographical context with its inherent historical, mythological and anthropological features, as well as an organic bond of the figure of the detective with this space. Non-detective features of the Spanish noir include representation of the way of life, traditions, beliefs, and the history of the place and its inhabitants. In non-Spanish readers’ view, Spanish noir not only immerses one into the world of an exciting mystical thriller, but also serves as a powerful cognitive impulse to study an unusual, non-stereotypical Spain in its historical and cultural diversity.
Identifying and interpreting euphemisms and dysphemisms in RFL classes (the case of political discourse)
Authors: Agafonova K. E. , Krotova T. A. 
Published: June 2023

This article is devoted to the issue of the need to include in the course of Russian as a foreign language the work on the analysis of Russian-speaking political discourse, the issues of identifying and interpreting euphemisms and dysphemisms in the political discourse, in particular. Euphemisms and dysphemisms are widely used by Russian speakers in a variety of communication situations and speech genres, including political discourse, which makes the research devoted to the systematic description of their functioning in modern Russian-language communication and their place in the Russian language picture of the world urgent. The relevance of the present study is due to the need to integrate the results of cognitive and pragmatic research into the purposeful activities of the teacher of Russian as a foreign language to form the linguistic personality of a foreign student, capable of educational and professional activities in the conditions of multicultural dialogue. The paper deals with the formation of foreign students’ skills and abilities of discursive analysis of the Russian text, identification and interpretation of speech tactics and strategies, the strategy of dominance and resistance, implemented in speech through the use of euphemisms and dysphemisms, in particular. At high levels of proficiency in Russian as a foreign language B2-C1 these skills are a necessary element of the professional competence of humanities professionals. The choice of political texts as the material for the analysis is connected with the fact that for professionals in the humanities, in the field of international relations, in particular, political discourse is a significant sphere of official communication and professional interaction. The aim of the present study is to analyze the theoretical foundations for describing euphemisms and dysphemisms for linguistic and pedagogical purposes, and to develop an approach to creating learning materials aimed at building the skills and abilities of foreign students to recognize hidden meanings and tools of indirect communication in Russian political discourse. The use of the proposed approach helps to develop in foreign students the ability to analyze political discourse and to identify the author’s key and secondary intentions, as well as to improve the skill of operating political terminology and the selection of lexical and verbal means in accordance with the communicative situation and the communicative goals and intentions pursued. The authors relied on the works of domestic and foreign linguists and methodologists in their research. The sociocultural, competence and systemic approaches were used in the research, and the method of complex text analysis and descriptive method were applied.

Published: June 2023

Objective: The research aims to establish patterns in the implementation of gender policy in the EU and Ukraine.

Theoretical framework: In recent decades, the problems of sustainable development caused by economic progress have intensified interest in gender policy. At the same time, the gender policy of some countries is far from ensuring equality between men and women. The lack of gender equality between men and women creates risks of lower quality and efficiency in the implementation of relevant management decisions. Therefore, the problem of formulating and implementing gender policy in the current environment is relevant and needs to be addressed. It is necessary to balance the interests of men and women and establish partnerships between them. To do this, it is necessary to improve the mechanisms for the formation and implementation of the relevant state gender policy, to accentuate gender parity, and to ensure equality of men and women in all spheres of public life.

Method: Comparative Analysis; Survey; Systematization, Generalization.

Results and conclusion: The survey found that 92% of women and 90% of men believe that women and men have equal rights. At the same time, 94.4% of women and 67.8% of men believe that there have been cases of gender discrimination. It has been revealed that 97.8% of women and 97.5% of men believe that women can be successful leaders of local communities, businesses, and political leaders. At the same time, 75.9% of women and 57.2% of men believe that the distribution of household responsibilities between men and women should be equal. It has been established that 14.1% of women and 18.2% of men have used gender stereotypes against others. According to the Global Gender Gap Report, the global gender gap was closed by 68.1% in 2022. At this rate of progress, it will take 132 years to achieve full parity, which is a slight four-year improvement over the 2021 estimate (136 years to parity). It was established that, based on a comparison of the results of 2022 with the results of 2021, the overall gender parity rate increased from 67.9% to 68.1%. It was discovered that Ukraine 2022 ranked 81st among 146 countries with a loss of 7 positions compared to the 2021 ranking. It is also worth noting that according to the health and survival sub-index, Ukraine ranked 37th, the educational attainment sub-index - 53rd, the economic participation and opportunity sub-index - 62nd, and the political empowerment sub-index - 100th.

Authors: Kolomoets Elena , Kuziev Islom , Hasoon Isama , Sreseh Saleh , Hussein Abbas Hameed Abdul 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This paper analyses challenges and opportunities posed by new non-standard forms of employment.

Method: Such employment forms have emerged in response to changes in the labor market and the need for greater flexibility in the workforce. However, they also pose challenges to workers, employers and policymakers, such as the erosion of traditional employment protections and the need to adapt social welfare systems to meet the changing needs of workers.

Results and conclusion: This paper argues that these challenges can be addressed through careful policy development that balances the need for flexibility with the need for worker protection. It explores the range of non-standard forms of employment, including part-time work, temporary work, agency work, self-employment and platform work, and the challenges each presents. It also examines the role of social partners, such as trade unions and employer organizations, in negotiating better terms and conditions for non-standard workers.

Research implications: The paper identifies several opportunities associated with non-standard forms of employment, such as increased entrepreneurship and innovation, more excellent work-life balance, and the potential for new forms of social protection.

Originality/value: This paper comprehensively analyses the challenges and opportunities associated with new non-standard forms of employment. It provides insights for policymakers, employers and workers seeking to navigate the rapidly changing labour market.
MODEL VALUE OF RESIDUAL STRENGTH OF CONCRETE ASPHALT PAVEMENT CONSEQUENCES OF SOAKING OF RAINWATER AND SEAWATER BY CONTINUOUS AND PERIODIC METHODS
Authors: Sitohang Oloan , Laia Asmirus , Manurung Edison Hatoguan , Puro Sarjono 
Published: June 2023

High rain intensity and limited draninase capacity result in high waterlogging on the road surface for a long time. After dry inundation, the pavement surface undergoes a bond between the aggregate and loose asphalt. This loose condition, when crossed by vehicles, causes cracks and holes so that the road is damaged. In addition, large-scale waterlogging can cause groundwater located below the soil surface to become saturated. The research method is an experimental laboratory with the help of descriptive statistics in analyzing data to find out an overview of the characteristics of concrete asphalt mixture materials. Penelitian aims to: Knowing the relationship between variations in soaking duration to the durability performance of asphalt concrete mixtures, Evaluating differences in residual strength index values due to length soaking by using seawater and rainwater with continuous and periodic mrtode, and Determining the relationship model between the Residual Strength Bonding of the asphalt mixture to time of soaking seawater and rainwater. The residual strength bond value (IKS) is greatly influenced by the soaking time, where the longer the concrete asphalt issoaked, the significantly lower the IKS value. As for the Modelh the difference between the Residual Strength Index against the bath time is a polynomial model.
Middle meningeal artery embolization for symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma in the setting of severe transfusion-refractory thrombocytopenia: A case study and review of literature
Authors: Morden Frances Tiffany Cava , Caballero Clark Gianni , Abella Maveric , Conching Andie , Gang Hannah , Noh Thomas 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Surgical decompression for the treatment of chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) is irrefutably effective; however, its utility in managing cSDH in patients with comorbid coagulopathy remains controversial. The optimal threshold for platelet transfusion in cSDH management is <100,000/mm3, according to guidelines from the American Association of Blood Banks GRADE framework. This threshold may be unachievable in refractory thrombocytopenia, though surgical intervention may still be warranted. We present a patient with symptomatic cSDH and transfusion-refractory thrombocytopenia successfully treated with middle meningeal artery embolization (eMMA). We also review the literature to identify management approaches for cSDH with severe thrombocytopenia.

Case Description:
A 74-year-old male with acute myeloid leukemia presented to the emergency department with persistent headache and emesis following fall without head trauma. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 12 mm right-sided, mixed density SDH. Platelets were <2000/mm3 initially, which stabilized to 20,000 following platelet transfusions. He then underwent right eMMA without surgical evacuation. He received intermittent platelet transfusions with platelet goal >20,000 and was discharged on hospital day 24 with resolving SDH on CT.

Conclusion:
High-risk surgical patients with refractory thrombocytopenia and symptomatic cSDH may be successfully treated with eMMA without surgical evacuation. A platelet goal of 20,000/mm3 before and following surgical intervention proved beneficial for our patient. Similarly, a literature review of seven cases of cSDH with comorbid thrombocytopenia revealed five patients undergoing surgical evacuation following initial medical management. Three cases reported a platelet goal of 20,000. All seven cases resulted in stable or resolving SDH with platelets >20,000 at discharge.

Published: June 2023

Background:
Intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) are developmental anomalies usually filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), rarely resolving throughout life. Here, we present a case of an AC with intracystic hemorrhage and subdural hematoma (SDH) that developed after a minor head injury before gradually disappearing. Neuroimaging demonstrated specific changes from hematoma formation to AC disappearance over time. The mechanisms of this condition are discussed based on imaging data.

Case Description:
An 18-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a head injury caused by a traffic accident. On arrival, he was conscious with a mild headache. Computed tomography (CT) revealed no intracranial hemorrhages or skull fractures but an AC was seen in the left convexity. One month later, follow-up CT scans showed an intracystic hemorrhage. Subsequently, an SDH appeared then both the intracystic hemorrhage and SDH gradually shrank, with the AC disappearing spontaneously. The AC was considered to have disappeared, along with the spontaneous SDH resorption.

Conclusion:
We present a rare case where neuroimaging demonstrated spontaneous resorption of an AC combined with intracystic hemorrhage and SDH over time, which may provide new insights into the nature of adult ACs.
