Abstract in Hindi Language:
लोकतंत्र सरकार का सबसे बेहतर रूप है क्योंकि इसका स्त्रोत जनता से है । लोकतंत्र में सरकार एवं जनता के बीच संबंध समर्थकारी होने चाहिए। सरकार की संप्रभूता लोगो की सहमति पर निर्भर करती है, भारत को एक सम्पूर्ण प्रभुत्व संपन्न, समाजवादी, धर्मनिरपेक्ष. लोकतांत्रिक बनाया गया तथा अपनाने के बाद सभी नागरिको को बिना अंतर किए मत देने का अधिकार देकर अपने बातो पर अडिग रहे, जो 1930 के राष्ट्रीय नेतृत्व के प्रारंभ में सार्वभौकिक व्यस्क मताधिकार के लिए वादा किया था। भारतीय राजनीति में जाति, निरक्षरता, साम्प्रदायिकता, गरीबी, बेरोजगारी प्रमुख बिन्दू है जो लोकतंत्र में चुनौतिया उत्पन्न कर रही है। स्वतंत्र, निष्पक्ष और पारदर्शी चुनाव एक अच्छे लोकतंत्र की स्थापना की कुंजी है। लोकतंत्र कि स्वतंत्रता, समानता, और बंधुता समाजिक जीवन के मूल्य सिद्धांत होते है।

The psychological safety of specialists involved in the organization and provision of psychological assistance in war conditions
Authors: Pylypenko N.G. 
Published: August 2023

The aim. To provide an analysis of the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to addressing the issue of psychological safety for specialists involved in the organization and provision of psychological assistance in war conditions.
Materials and methods. The research employed the bibliographic method, method of analysis, and synthesis of scientific materials from academic sources.
Results and discussion. A detailed analysis of several scientific studies revealed that among the main prerequisites for the emergence of emotional burnout in helping professionals, two directions are traditionally identified: the characteristics of professional activities and the psychological characteristics of the specialist.
In the context of the question about the psychological changes that can occur in professionals during their professional activities, we have examined the phenomenon of secondary trauma or secondary traumatic stress, which refers to the trauma experienced by a professional while providing psychological assistance. In the literature on crisis psychology, the phenomenon of burnout is often equated with the phenomenon of secondary trauma due to the following reasons: 1) both states tend to accumulate over time, and 2) they have similar consequences (insomnia, depressed mood, impaired communication with social environment and family).However, a detailed analysis of these phenomena indicates the presence of differences, primarily in the characteristics of their emergence.
Conclusion.
The main safety rules for assisting specialists, compliance with which is necessary to maintain their professional well-being, include: awareness of one's abilities and the limits of one's competence;having an understanding of one's vulnerabilities and assessing one's capabilities and risks when working with cases that involve heightened emotional sensitivity; tracking changes in one's emotional and physical state, as well as changes in behavior; seeking help from superiors when needed;when dealing with challenging crisis events and their aftermath, working better in pairs with colleagues. This is necessary for maintaining emotional balance for each specialist working in a pair and for the ability to rely on each other during consultations or group psychological work;participating periodically in supervision groups or receiving supervision.Following these rules is essential for preserving the emotional well-being of each specialist and enables them to rely on support systems such as working in pairs and seeking supervision or consultation when needed.

Introduction. The article presents the results of a medical and sociological study among consumers of cosmetology services regarding the quality of services and the state of safety, cases of infectious complications, problematic issues of regulatory support. The aim of the study. To establish the risks and factors of complications and diseases of infectious origin as a result of performed cosmetology procedures.
Materials and methods. Bibliosemantic, medico-sociological research among consumers of cosmetology services, analysis of current regulatory documents, medico-statistical, system analysis and logical generalization methods were used.
Research results and their discussion. According to the results of a medical and sociological study, a relationship between cosmetology services and infectious complications was established in 23% of respondents. 10% of consumers of cosmetology services had a history of contraindications, as well as allergic reactions to cosmetic products and materials, 29% have a tendency to allergic reactions, but continue to carry out cosmetology procedures. 93% of respondents are cautious and do not rule out the possibility of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, parenteral viral hepatitis B and C, as well as fungal, staphylococcal and other infections in case of non-compliance with the anti-epidemic regime and the rules of asepsis. Based on the analysis of the regulatory and legal support for the development of the field of cosmetology and the prevention of infection in the field of services for the public, it was found that there is a direct connection between the irregularity of cosmetology practice and the spread of diseases, including those of infectious origin, which leads to the insecurity of consumers and poses a threat public health.
Conclusions. On the basis of the conducted research, cases of infectious complications among consumers of cosmetology services have been established, which are related to the non-regulation of the activity of the field of cosmetology in legislative, regulatory and regulatory documents. In order to minimize risks, prevent infectious complications and preserve public health, it is necessary to adopt and improve at the state level normative legal acts related to cosmetology, to settle the issues of personnel training, to bring the standards of safety approaches in cosmetology closer to the level of the standards in force in the industry Health Care.

Authors: Kravchenko A.M. 
Published: August 2023

The aim. To conduct an analysis and generalize scientific publications on the influence of war factors on morbidity indicators and the clinical course of arterial hypertension.
Materials and methods. An analysis and generalization of scientific research and publications on the specifics of morbidity among military personnel and the population affected by war has been conducted. The following methods were utilized: a systematic approach, bibliosemantic analysis, and analytical methods.
Results: The article focuses on the influence of war factors on the incidence rates and clinical course of arterial hypertension in both military personnel and the civilian population. Through a review of historical data and modern scientific sources, the study examines the long-term effects of stress factors on the development of hypertension, the peculiarities of its clinical manifestations, and the potential for predicting complications in individuals affected by military operations. The impact of nervous tension is particularly evident among frontline soldiers, as hypertension is observed, on average, 3-4 times more frequently compared to soldiers in the rear. The article emphasizes the clear correlation between the frequency of arterial hypertension in servicemen and the duration of their frontline deployment.
Conclusion. Severe mental trauma and negative emotions, experienced by both military personnel and the civilian population during war, can not only contribute to an increased incidence of hypertension but also lead to a significant rise in the occurrence of the disease in young individuals, with severe clinical manifestations expected.
CPA Evolution: Curriculum revision for Higher Education
Authors: Bilbeisi Khamis M 
Published: August 2023

Recent proposals from the National Association of States Board of Accountancy and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants aim to modify the CPA license model to reflect the knowledge and abilities that new CPAs will need both now and in the future. The Uniform CPA Examination has recently undergone its most significant modification in many years thanks to the CPA Evolution project. This article discusses the exam's revised structure and content, evaluates the anticipated effects of those changes on accounting education, and explains how colleges will need to modify their curricula to meet the new exam core Plus requirements.
Today's accountants and the accounting industry require different technical capabilities than they did even a few years ago. For the accounting profession to advance, proficiency in technology, data analytics, risk management, and IT governance are becoming crucial competencies. The joint CPA Evolution project of the AICPA and NASBA acknowledges the rapidly evolving abilities and competences needed by today's CPAs. The quick development of technical advancements, such as data analytics, robots, and artificial intelligence, among others, is significantly altering the way CPAs do their business. Additionally, this report illustrates the constraints that the COVID-19 placed on the world's environment and economy. The CPA profession is changing, and data from IPEDS and responses from participating U.S. universities and public accounting companies enable us to assess the effects of this change on both the supply and demand of new accounting. The public accounting firms have started to fill the technology and data analytics talent gaps among accounting recruits by hiring non-accounting staff, according to the AICPA's 2021 Accounting Graduate Supply and Demand Report, which includes a survey of the hiring practices of public accounting firms. According to the research, new hires of master's graduates increased by 2% in 2020, despite a 10% decline in the total hiring of new accounting graduates.
The effect of age on the severity of dry mouth occurring in patients receiving high dose radioactive iodine treatment
Authors: ERATİLLA Veysel , KAPLAN İhsan 
Published: August 2023

Aims: Dry mouth of individuals causes many oral discomforts and undesirable conditions. In order to prevent such an undesirable situation from occurring, it is aimed to complete the Radioactive Iodine Therapy (RAI) treatment with less damage by mastering all possible factors. In our study, we aimed to find the level of the effect of the age factor.
Methods: In this study, we included patients who received high-dose radioactive iodine treatment after total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer and were hospitalized in our clinic. These patients were selected among the patients who applied to our hospital between 2021-2022. We specifically focused on patients who reported dry mouth and obtained salivary gland scintigraphies of their submandibular glands. Afterwards, we looked at the ratio of the age of the patients with the level of dry mouth. We analyzed the collected data using statistical methods.
Results: The data analysis was performed using the Chi-square (χ2) test and the Spearman correlation test to examine the relationship between age and the severity of dry mouth in patients undergoing high-dose RAI treatment for thyroid cancer. Our hypotheses were two-sided, and statistical significance was considered at p-values ≤0.05. The results of our analysis revealed that there was no significant direct correlation between age and the severity of dry mouth in the patients. This suggests that age is not a determining factor for the occurrence or severity of dry mouth in individuals receiving high-dose RAI treatment.
Conclusion: In our study, it was concluded that the age factor alone was not a determining factor in terms of the severity of dry mouth. Therefore, it is important to consider additional factors and potential underlying causes when evaluating and managing dry mouth in patients receiving high-dose RAI therapy for thyroid cancer.

Authors: ASFUROĞLU Zeynel Mert , ESKANDARİ Metin Manouchehr 
Published: August 2023

Aims: Traumatic finger amputation leads to dysfunction and disfigurement of the hand. Hand disfigurements can affect the social lives of affected individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate affected and unaffected individuals' perceptions of finger-amputated hand appearance and its effects on social life.
Methods: A group of 26 finger-amputated individuals completed a questionnaire assessing the impact of their hand appearance on their social lives and rated their hand appearance using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Hand photographs of members of this group were shown to 50 unaffected individuals, who were asked to rate their appearance using the VAS and complete a questionnaire assessing their reactions to similar hands encountered during daily life.
Results: In the patient group, the mean VAS and questionnaire scores were 5.1±2 (range: 1–10), and 60.3±17 (range: 31–94), respectively. In the assessor group, the mean VAS score for all 26 hand photographs was 7.1±2 (range: 3–9) and the mean questionnaire score was 83.6±11 (range: 56–100). While the patients' and assessors' VAS scores were significantly correlated for each hand photograph (r=0.511, p=0.008), in total, 21 of the 26 VAS scores were lower for the patient than assessor group. The VAS and questionnaire scores in the patient group improved significantly with time since amputation (p =.00 and p=0.011, respectively).
Conclusion: The self-evaluation results of the affected group were worse than those of the unaffected group in terms of perceptions of appearance and the resultant effects on their social lives. We conclude that individuals without finger-amputated hands perceived hand disfigurements less negatively than affected patients. This knowledge may aid the psychosocial support of patients with hand anomalies.

Aims: The pandemic has had devastating effects across the world particularly on healthcare professionals. We assessed anxiety and depression with somatization to discover the psychological effects of the pandemic.
Methods: 250 healthcare workers in a tertiary pediatric teaching hospital were asked to respond to the questionnaire between 1 and 30 June 2020 and the responses were assessed via three scales including the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), the General Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) and the Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS).
Results: A total of 242 participants responded (response rate 97%); 29% of the participants reported moderate or severe anxiety while 49% reported moderate or more severe depression. There was no significant difference between the degrees of depression and moderate to severe anxiety through different professions (p= 0.480, p=0.384, respectively). Somatization was significantly lower in doctors and higher in female participants (p=0.001). Participants with chronic diseases and ones that had a dependent relative were at higher risk for anxiety and depression.
Conclusion: Most of the healthcare workers had depression and anxiety in the beginning of the pandemic, and it was independent of gender, profession, or workplace. Healthcare professionals with chronic diseases and dependent relatives are at risk for severe depression.

Authors: KORKMAZ Serhat , DEMIREL Emin 
Published: August 2023

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between volumetric mean ADC values and MGMT promoter hypermethylation status in glioblastoma (GB) patients segmented into perilesional edema area, solid tumor area, and necrosis area.
Methods: The 212 GB patients in the University of California San Francisco Preoperative Diffuse Glioma MRI (UCSF-PDGM) dataset were retrieved from the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). The mean volumetric ADC value was calculated in patients with shared segmentation data in the UCSF-PDGM dataset. The difference in mean volumetric ADC value was investigated in patients divided into groups based on MGMT promoter hypermethylation (MGMT+/ MGMT-).
Results: Of the patients in our study, 125 (59.0%) were male. The median age of the patients was 62 years (26-94). MGMT promoter hypermethylation was observed in 152 (71.7%) patients. Mean Survival was calculated as 574.14±345.57 days in the MGMT+ group and 484.68±301.71 days in MGMT- group. According to volumetric mean ADC values, a difference was observed in the solid tumor and perilesional edema areas according to MGMT promoter hypermethylation (p1.14 in ADC measurements from the edema area with 72% sensitivity and 90% specificity. MGMT+ group could be determined with a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 69% with a cut-off value of >1.01 in ADC measurements from the solid tumor area.
Conclusion: Volumetric ADC measurements from the perilesional edema and solid tumor areas revealed higher ADC values in the MGMT+ group.
