Authors: KEMEÇ Zeki , ASLAN Sinan 
Published: July 2022

Aim: Current study aims to specify the fear levels and hygiene habits of hemodialysis (HD) patients infected or not infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material and Method: This study was performed between 15-30 April 2021 as a case-control study whose population consisted of 124 dialysis patients treated in the dialysis unit of Batman Education and Research Hospital. In the dialysis unit, while 25 HD patients who were not present with COVID-19 were included in the control group, 25 dialysis patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 and agreed to participate in the study were included in the case group. “Patient Descriptive Form”, “COVID-19 Hygiene Scale (CHS)” and “COVID-19 Fear Scale (CFS)” were used to collect the study data.
Results: While the mean score of the Changing Hygiene Behaviors sub-dimension of the HD patients in the case group was 23.72±4.90; the mean score of the same sub-dimension belonging to the HD patients in the control group was determined as 22.40±5.25, and there was no statistically meaningful difference between the two groups. The mean CFS score of the HD patients in the case group was 13.60±7.92; while the mean CFS score of the HD patients in the control group was found to be 17.72±7.43. No statistically meaningful difference was observed between the two groups.
Conclusion: The mean CFS and CHS scores of the HD patients in the control group were higher, but no statistically meaningful difference was observed between the two groups.
Postoperative scar deformities of the perianal region: current state of the problem. (literature review)
Authors: Aksan Mуkhailo 
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, many surgical interventions are performed in the perianal area and on theanal canal. Each one affects the quality of the patient’s future life in its own way. That is why thepresented literature review is devoted to the study of the problem of postoperative scar deformities ofthe perianal region, because this pathology is a complication of many surgical interventions in thisarea. The main objective of the study is to analyze the currently available data in the following areas:the cause of postoperative scar deformities, their classification and modern treatment methods. Theresearch method was based on the study of scientific articles published in the period from 1982 to2022, indexed in Ukraine and international databases. This approach made it possible to identifykey points in each of the areas of analysis and to systematize the obtained data. When studying thecauses of postoperative anal stenosis, it can be noted that most often they represent the consequencesof hemorrhoidectomies, performed in various techniques. Most scientists emphasize the importanceof preventing the occurrence of anal stenosis, which implies choosing the optimal treatment method.
Having systematized the literature data, I would like to note the lack of a unified approach to manag-ing patients with this problem, as well as the lack of well-defined indications for surgical treatment.
The vast majority of researchers emphasize the need to treat these patients using conservative meth-ods, namely dietary adjustments. Regarding the methods of surgical treatment, it is necessary to note
the vast quantity of available surgical techniques. At the same time, the lack of controlled prospectivestudies makes it difficult to evaluate and verify their results. However, it is indisputable that all ofthem lead to an improvement in the lives of patients and a reduction in the symptoms of stenosis. Afteranalyzing a sufficient amount of available data, it is safe to say that the issue of postoperative scardeformities of the perianal region remains insufficiently studied and very relevant.

Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill - Chinese magnolia - a well-known fruit plant intraditional Chinese and Korean medicine. The fruits and seeds of S. chinensis are rich in biologicallyactive substances. According to the literature (Irfan M. etc, 2020; Liu G-Z. etc, 2020; Sun W. etc,2021; Zhao T. etc., 2021; Bodrevich B.B. etc, 2017) the following therapeutic effects of S. chinensis
fruits and seeds can be called: immunomodulatory, tonic, adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, hepato-protective, nephroprotective, tonic. The study of the S. chinensis raw materials continues in the future,
to reveal a wider range of therapeutic actions. The study of S. chinensis seeds is quite relevant toexpand the range of standardized medicinal raw materials, which is not included in the monographsof the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine. The main purpose of this study is to obtain the lipophilicfraction of S. chinensis seeds and to study the composition of different groups of lipophilic substancesin the resulting fraction. The main method of obtaining the lipophilic fraction of S. chinensis seeds isa comprehensive extraction in the Soxhlet apparatus. The chemical reaction was used to determinethe presence of tocopherols. The presence of the main groups of biologically active substances in thelipophilic fraction of S. chinensis seeds was established by the method of two-dimensional thin-layerchromatography. The study of fatty acid composition was performed by gas chromatography/massspectrometry (Su L. etc, 2020). The yield of lipophilic fraction of S. chinensis seeds was 35.79±0.7%.The obtained lipophilic fraction of S. chinensis seeds is an oily liquid of deep yellow color with a
characteristic specific odor. The presence of tocopherols was established. Thin layer chromatogra-phy in the solvent system: I direction - hexane-acetone (8: 2), II direction - hexane-acetone (8: 4),

As a resultof studies of fatty acids by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, the quantitative content of 6 fattyacids was identified and established: palmitic, linoleic, oleic, stearic, gondoic and nonadecanoic. The
quantitative content of unsaturated fatty acids significantly exceeded the quantitative content of satu-rated fatty acids. The results of the study give grounds to draw the following conclusions: the studies
confirm the rich composition of the lipophilic fraction of S. chinensis seeds: tocopherols, 14 terpenes,6 fatty acids, of which saturated fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, nonadecanoic) and unsaturated fatty
acids , oleic and gondoin); The results of the study suggest the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, regen-erating effect of the lipophilic fraction of S. chinensis seeds.
Generation of energy in console piezoelectric energy harvesters
Authors: Grigoryeva Liudmyla , Ivanenko Petro , Korbakov Oleksandr 
Published: July 2022

Energy harvesting of mechanical vibrations and their conversion into electrical energy using piezoelectric devices has become widespread. This has been made possible by the creation of high-energy piezoelectric materials and the proliferation of miniature devices with a few milliwatts of power.
In this work, the oscillations of the rod cantilever bimorph energy harvester under harmonic loads are investigated. A two-layer rod consisting of a brass base and a rectangular piezoelectric element with electroded flat surfaces without and with tip mass is considered. The thickness of the layers is much less than the width and the width is much less than the length, which allows us to use the hypothesis of flat sections and assumptions of the potential difference linearity by thickness of the element, as well as beams bending relations.
There is derived the characteristic equation for beam bending oscillations, the wave numbers, circular frequencies and natural frequencies are determined. There is carried out The averaging of material characteristics over the cross-sectional area. Eigenforms of oscillations are constructed, the dependence of natural frequencies from body size and tip mass is analyzed.
The next step is to study the forced oscillations of the energy harvesters with tip mass at the end at given oscillations of the base. The equation of the elastic line of the console is formed, the maximum deflections and angles of rotation are determined. The voltage generated on the piezo element plates is determined taking into account the electrical resistance. Due to the voltage and resistance of the conduct line the power of the energy harvester is determined. Curves of voltage and power dependence from load frequency and external resistance are constructed. It is established that the voltage and power of the element change in proportion to R. The maximum power of the energy collector occurs in the vicinity of resonances, and before the first resonance the power is almost zero. Between the first and second resonance, the power is approximately 1,5 mW. During the transition to the ultrasonic zone, the power of the energy collector increases significantly.Analysis of the harvester operation at resonant frequencies requires consideration of the damping of oscillations in the material.

Air susu ibu (ASI) direkomendasikan untuk terus diberikan bersama dengan makanan pendamping ASI hingga anak berusia dua tahun. Terdapat beberapa indikasi medis sehingga anak harus mendapatkan susu formula pada rentang usia tersebut. Namun, banyak ibu yang memberikan susu formula tanpa alasan indikasi medis. Belum diketahui apakah keputusan memberikan susu formula tersebut dipengaruhi persepi ibu tentang susu formula. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi ibu tentang susu formula, model pemberian susu formula, dan hubungan antara kedua variabel tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observational analitik dengan desain potong lintang, pada populasi ibu yang memiliki anak di rentang usia 6-24 bulan yang terdaftar di Puskesmas wilayah kerja Kecamatan Ilir Timur II Palembang. Sampel penelitian diambil dengan menggunakan metode consecutive sampling hingga mencapai 96 responden. Ibu yang memberikan susu formula tanpa indikasi medis dan bersedia berpartisipasi selanjutnya diwawancarai. Sebanyak 70,8% responden memiliki persepsi negatif terhadap susu formula. Sebagian besar memberikan susu formula secara parsial (75%). Uji Chi-Square menunjukkan tidak adanya hubungan antara persepsi ibu tentang susu formula dan model pemberian susu formula (p>0,05). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara persepsi ibu tentang susu formula dengan pemberian susu formula pada anak bawah dua tahun di Kecamatan Ilir Timur II Palembang.

The Right to Play: Snakes and Ladders
Authors: Odlum Nadia Rene , Collett Morwenna 
Published: July 2022

This case-study will present learnings from the public art project ‘Snakes and Ladders’, a fifty metre, ground plane mural in Sydney Olympic Park, in Sydney’s western suburbs. This was a collaboration between Digby Webster, an artist with Down syndrome, and Nadia Odlum, an artist without disability who specialises in playful, large-scale public art. Snakes and Ladders was commissioned by the Sydney Olympic Parks Authority (SOPA) as a result of a community consultation and co-design process, and was supported by Accessible Arts, the peak body for advancing the rights of New South Wales artists who have disability and/or who are d/Deaf. The result was a public artwork that functions as an inclusive playspace, supporting the right to play for all people who visit or live in Sydney Olympic Park.The key achievements of this project were the meaningful inclusion of an artist with disability in a significant public art project, and the creation of an accessible and inclusive opportunity for play in public space. This case-study focuses on process, including the community consultation process that led to the commission; the role of peak body Accessible Arts in facilitating and guiding the commission; the methods used to ensure accessibility in the artwork design; and the collaborative process between Digby and Nadia, including the steps taken to support Digby’s access requirements and ensure his full participation in the commission from concept to delivery.

Pedestrians with Disabilities and Town and City Streets: From Shared to Inclusive Space?
Authors: Lawson Anna , Eskytė Ieva , Orchard Maria , Houtzager Dick , De Vos Edwin Luitzen 
Published: July 2022

This article highlights the importance of ensuring that accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities, as required by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, is fully embedded in efforts to reduce the dominance of cars in city streets and promote more active modes of travel (including walking, wheeling and cycling) in line with global agendas. Drawing on emerging findings from the Inclusive Public Space research project, we present and critically reflect on types of difficulty associated with streets in which what is commonly known as a ‘shared space’ design operates, and those in which all or part of the available space is designated as primarily for pedestrian use. The data on which this analysis is based is qualitative, deriving from 83 semi-structured interviews about the experiences of our participants (a substantial majority of whom identified as having a disability) in two large UK cities and their wider metropolitan areas. The types of exclusionary experience described by our participants are organised into two broad overlapping categories – first, difficulties associated with navigating environments in which kerbs have been removed; and second, difficulties associated with interacting with vehicles (including bicycles) within and at the boundaries of shared or pedestrian spaces. Our findings are in line with those of previous projects that challenge and complicate claims that ‘shared space’ design, with its removal of kerbs and controlled crossings, enhances safety and mobility for all. Further, they demonstrate that many of the concerns associated with ‘shared space’ environments are also applicable to other types of street environment intended primarily for pedestrians. As well as highlighting and raising awareness of potential types of exclusion against which action should be taken, we draw attention to measures that could reduce the risk of such exclusionary barriers arising and persisting.

Persons with Psychosocial Disabilities in Public Spaces: Welcomed or Shunned?
Authors: Ombati Elizabeth Nyabiage 
Published: July 2022

This viewpoint discusses the role of inclusive and accessible public spaces in enabling enjoyment of human rights by persons with psychosocial disabilities. It acknowledges that in accessing public spaces, accessibility requirements for people with psychosocial disabilities often go unnoticed and are rarely taken into account while those of persons with more visible disabilities are often considered.ThevViewpoint bases its propositions on the lived experiences of the author, and uses this foundation to discuss critical issues on how persons with psychosocial disabilities access (or do not) public spaces. Issues addressed include stigma, violence and human rights abuses as they face persons with psychosocial disabilities in public spaces; reflections on urban designs and whether this is done with the broader perspective of supporting inclusion of all persons with disabilities; accessibility as a key concept running throughout the paper; as well as the views on participation of persons with disabilities and industry in making public spaces accessible and inclusive of marginalized populations. A key theme that is also considered is how important attitude changes are necessary in ensuring persons with disabilities are accessing public spaces, and also thoughts around the roles of patience, kindness and empathy.The propositions in the Viewpoint are based on human rights and development frameworks including the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; the New Urban Agenda (2016), as well as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2016). Finally, the viewpoint offers proposals on the way forward; proposing for example that governments at all levels, in particular local and regional governments, together with organisations of persons with disabilities must build the staff capacity of infrastructure service providers and urban practitioners in understanding the different accessibility requirements for all types of impairments when reflecting on inclusive urban designs.

What is Inclusive and Accessible Public Space?
Authors: Pineda Victor Santiago 
Published: July 2022

Public facilities play an important role in every city, and they should be able to accommodate persons of all ages and abilities. Disability rights advocates argue that facilities and spaces such as schools, parks, civic or community centers, public safety facilities, arts and cultural facilities, recreational facilities, and plazas should be accessible to all, and equitably distributed throughout the city. They should be designed by, with, and for people with disabilities and older persons, and by doing so would be safe, and accessible by design. For persons with disabilities and older persons, “public spaces play a central role in the creation of inclusive communities and more specifically, in the formation of a public culture and in enriching cultural diversity” (Ravazzoli & Torricelli, 2017)[1]. Furthermore public spaces are spaces and hubs for mobility, economic activity and exchange and should be accessible to all regardless of impairment type.By denying or restricting access to train stations, airports, bus stops, micro-mobility infrastructure like shared bikes, and scooters, and other intermodal terminals we are denying and restricting our own economic and social development. Accessibility barriers in essence make these streets, sidewalks and bike lanes spaces of exclusion and congestion, or as social theorist Marion Iris Young would argue, public spaces of “oppression.” In the urban environment, realizing the politics of difference means building spaces that do not create barriers or prevent participation and rather promote and defend the access of all groups. A city that does not prioritize the access and inclusion of people with disabilities has decided that disabled people do not have the same value or citizenship worth as those without disabilities.
