Authors: Ghimire M. , Vaidya S. , Upadhyay H. P. 
Published: November 2022

Background Kidney biopsy is an important diagnostic tool in Nephrology. As of now, we don’t have a central kidney biopsy registry in our country and there are many studies showing heterogeneous patterns of pathologies observed in the country. We thought of looking on the clinico-pathological profile of kidney biopsy patients prevailing in our centre.
Objective This study was carried out with an objective to know the clinico-pathological profile of kidney biopsy patients prevailing in our centre.
Method This was a hospital based, prospective, observational study carried out in a tertiary teaching hospital of Chitwan over a period of 3 years from May 2016 to April 2019. All the consecutive kidney biopsy patients were included in the study. The indication of kidney biopsies were the standard indication based on clinical presentation and investigations. The patient`s demographic profile, indication of kidney biopsy and histological patterns were studied and analysed using appropriate statistical tools.
Result A total of 210 kidney biopsies were analysed over a period of three years, that makes around 5-6 biopsies per month. The mean age of the patient was 35.7 ± 14.9 years. Male were 106 (50.5) and females were 104 (49.5) with male to female ratio of 1.01. The average number of glomeruli was 23.4 ± 11.0. The commonest indication of kidney biopsy and histological pattern were nephrotic syndrome 56 (26.7) and IgA nephropathy 51 (24.2) respectively. Among nephrotic syndrome group, the commonest histological pattern was minimal change disease 21 (37.5). Non-diabetic kidney diseases in diabetes were seen in eight (53.4) diabetic patients making it a significant problem in diabetes and the commonest histological pattern in them were minimal change disease and idiopathic cresentic glomerulonephritis two (13.3) each.
Conclusion The commonest indication and histological pattern of the kidney biopsy were nephrotic syndrome 56 (26.7), and IgA Nephropathy 51 (24.2) respectively. Non-diabetic kidney diseases in diabetes were seen in eight (53.4) of the diabetic patient making it a significant problem in diabetes and the commonest histological pattern in them were minimal change disease and idiopathic cresentic glomerulonephritis two (13.3) each.

Published: November 2022

Background The fixed dental prosthesis are one of the most commonly used prosthesis which are difficult for cleansing in dental clinical practice especially the interproximal areas. As a result, periodontal disease most commonly develops in interproximal areas. The efficacy of using dental floss and interdental brushing in addition to tooth brushing reduce plaque and gingival inflammation.
Objective To assess gingival condition in patients after placement of fixed dental prosthesis for a period of 3 months who regularly use or do not use dental floss and interdental brushing.
Method Patients visiting the Dental Outpatient Department of Dhulikhel Hospital were selected for study. The examination was conducted using basic diagnostic tools (Mouth mirror, periodontal probe and explorer). The total number of patients involved in the study were 200. Teeth and gingiva were examined using the Plaque (Silness and Loe) and Gingiva Index (Löe and Silness). The examinations were conducted after 15 days and 3 months of placement of fixed dental prosthesis along with the oral hygiene instructions. Chi-square test and McNemar Bowker test were done to find statistical association using SPSS 20.0.
Result Statistical analysis showed that there was association between frequency of interdental cleaning and plaque index (p=0.012) and gingival index (p=0.036) examined in 15 days and 3 months.
Conclusion Use of Interdental cleansing aids was statistically significant to oral hygiene outcomes i.e. plaque index and gingival index. Oral hygiene instructions play a vital role in improving overall oral health.

Authors: Risal P. , Maharjan A. , Bhatt R. D. , Tamrakar D. 
Published: November 2022

Background Androgen deficiency is diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms and laboratory assessment of testosterone level. Different screening tools have been developed to evaluate the sign and symptoms.
Objective In this study, we examine the validity and reliability of the Nepali version of the quantitative Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male (qADAM) questionnaire to screen androgen deficiency in Nepali male.
Method English dialectal quantitative Androgen Deficiency in Aging Male questionnaire was forward translated to Nepali version and backward translated. This version was reviewed by a panel of an endocrinologist, a clinical psychiatrist, a physician, and a clinical biochemist. A final Nepali version of qADAM was developed. Thirty-one healthy male aged 31-70 years were administered with the questionnaire in two separate occasions two weeks apart. Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability were calculated to identify validity and reliability, respectively.
Result In the Nepali translated questionnaire, Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency from ten items is good (0.68). The Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency from nine items without item 7 is 0.706. Seven out of ten items had an R-value of > 0.7. In the total sample, Standard Error Mean (SEM) ranged from 0.00-0.44 for qADAM. SEM% are low for all variables (0.00-11.20%). MDC95 ranged 0.00-1.234. MDC95% ranged 0.00 – 31.05% and was < 30% for majority of variables (90%).
Conclusion The final translated Nepali questionnaire seems reliable and valid. A future study measuring the Nepali questionnaire with testosterone level and another biochemical test in control and androgen deficiency patients will help validate the questionnaire.

Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE
Patients sometimes experience transient neurological events (TNEs) during the early postoperative period after revascularization surgery for childhood moyamoya disease. The clinical background and pathophysiology of TNEs remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence rate of TNEs and discuss the factors associated with pediatric moyamoya disease.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed 110 cerebral hemispheres of 61 pediatric patients younger than 15 years who were treated from 2011 to 2020. All children underwent either simple double-direct or combined revascularization surgery. Of these 61 patients, 52 underwent bilateral surgery and 9 underwent unilateral surgery. The authors calculated the incidence of TNEs in accordance with a previously reported TNE definition. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was evaluated in all eligible cases with xenon CT immediately after revascularization surgery.

RESULTS
The incidence rate of TNEs in patients with childhood moyamoya disease was 26.4%. TNEs occurred after an average (range) of 6.26 (2–12) days postoperatively without triggers, and all identified TNEs spontaneously resolved within 2 weeks. The most common symptoms were dysarthria, facial palsy, and numbness around the mouth, followed by sensory disturbance of the upper extremities. The presence of focal hyperperfusion on xenon CT performed immediately after revascularization surgery was strongly correlated with the incidence of TNEs (p = 0.0001). Focal hyperperfusion was observed in 43 of 110 operative sides (39.1%). Notably, only 25.6% of patients with focal hyperperfusion showed numerical global hyperperfusion. In addition, a decrease in CBF compared with the thalamic region in the contralateral side was observed in TNE-affected cases (p = 0.0443).

CONCLUSIONS
TNEs occurred more frequently in childhood moyamoya disease patients than expected. The clinical background, including symptoms, timing, and duration, was almost identical to TNEs in adults. Focal hyperperfusion, rather than numerical global hyperperfusion, was strongly correlated with the incidence of TNEs. Furthermore, the authors advocate the notion that a clinical course where symptoms occur without triggers may be a unique characteristic of TNEs, especially in childhood moyamoya disease.
РОСІЙСЬКА ВІЙСЬКОВА АГРЕСІЯ ПРОТИ УКРАЇНИ 2014–2022 РР.: ПОЛІТИЧНІ ТА ПОБУТОВІ НЕОЛОГІЗМИ НАЗИВАННЯ АГРЕСОРА

Published: November 2022

У статті здійснено спробу на основі опублікованої різножанрової літератури дослідити соціально-психологічний контекст появи, сутність, особливості активного вжитку політичних і побутових неологізмів для ідентифікації та називання російських агресорів, окупантів, мародерів і військових злочинців. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що більшість назв, які ми нині вживаємо як у повсякденні, так і в науковому дискурсі для називання російських агресорів, окупантів, мародерів і військових злочинців, з’явились у середовищі українських громадян як закономірна психологічна реакція (гнів, зневага, відчай, огида, прокляття, жах і т. п.) на дії Російської Федерації, пов’язані з анексією АР Крим, початком російської агресії проти України у 2014 р., особливо з переростанням її у повномасштабну 24 лютого 2022 р. Зазначено, що активне використання політичних і побутових неологізмів для ідентифікації та називання російських агресорів є вираженням внутрішнього оціночного ставлення людини до того, що відбувається нині в Україні. Поява цих неологізмів призвела до їх швидкого включення в лексикон політиків, журналістів, військових, представників експертного середовища. Започатковується формування нового офіційного дискурсу дефініції «рашизм» (В. Горбатенко, О. Гринів, С. Дацюк, Б. Дем’яненко, В. Дем’яненко, О. Кафтан, О. Костенко, О. Романчук, М. Томенко). Констатовано, що урізноманітнення української мови політичними і побутовими неологізмами з негативною конотацією («рашизм», «рашисти», «путінізм», «орки», «русня», «кацапи», «свинособаки») бачиться не більше ніж емоційним інтонуванням мови, яке натепер переходить у режим «шаленого козацького сарказму», що воює з ворогом не лише на полі бою зброєю, але й «кріпким» словом. Зроблено застереження, що розмивання людяності через вживання неологізмів із негативною конотацією може перерости у дегуманізацію, розлюднення й постання колективних образів для ненависті.
ВІЛЬНІ ЗЕМЛІ, АБО КІЛЬКА СЛІВ ПРО ПЕРШУ ХВИЛЮ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ІММІГРАЦІЇ ДО КАНАДИ 1891–1914 РОКІВ
Authors: Пилипів Володимир Іванович 
Published: November 2022

Понад 130 років українці роблять свій внесок у розвиток Канади, збагачуючи багатокультурний ландшафт країни та зміцнюючи соціальне, економічне і культурне життя. У 2016 р. колишній прем’єр-міністр провінції Онтаріо К. Вінн зазначала з приводу святкування 125-ї річниці від початку української імміграції до Канади, що цей особливий момент є ідеальною можливістю для українських канадців усвідомити своє національне коріння а свою історію. Не менш важливим цей шлях відновлення цілісної картини української історії є і для всіх українців світу.
Стаття присвячена висвітленню першої хвилі української імміграції до Канади 1891–1914 рр. Збережені архівні документи, публікації українських канадських істориків, спогади українських піонерів та їхніх нащадків надають можливості детально простежити перші кроки становлення української діаспори в Канаді. У омріяних вільних землях українці зіткнулися з цілою низкою складних проблем, але завдяки наполегливій праці вони посіли гідне місце серед піонерів, які допомогли розвинути Канаду. Побудовані ними церкви та церковні куполи на тлі канадських прерій стали символом земних амбіцій людей, які все життя мріяли про вільні землі, free lands.
Методологічною основою дослідження є історико-системний підхід до вивчення соціальних об’єктів, інтерпретаційна дослідницька парадигма, інтегративний антропологічний підхід. Описовий і трансдисциплінарний методи дозволили синтезувати результати досліджень.

El objetivo de este trabajo, es medir el impacto de los factores determinantes del síndrome holandés o enfermedad holandesa en el déficit de la balanza comercial mexicana sin petróleo y sin maquiladoras (BACOMAYAG), usando un modelo de regresión multifactorial e información estadística anual de 1993 a 2015. Los resultados indican que el déficit de la balanza comercial mexicana sin petróleo y maquiladoras mantienen una relación inversa con: la balanza de maquiladoras, el superávit de la balanza petrolera, las remesas de migrantes, y el diferencial entre el tipo de cambio real y nominal y, una positiva con la inversión extranjera directa. En función de las elasticidades económicas calculadas, el mayor impacto (en términos absolutos) sobre BACOMAYAG es la Balanza comercial de la industria maquiladora, seguido por el Deterioro del tipo de cambio y las Remesas.
GASTO PÚBLICO DURANTE LA INDUSTRIALIZACIÓN EN COLOMBIA
Authors: Romero baquero Carmen astrid 
Published: November 2022

Se busca evaluar la hipótesis según la cual una política fiscal activa afectó en forma positiva la inversión bruta privada y el PIB real para Colombia en el periodo 1905-1960. Para ello se recurre a la teoria económica con dos opciones interpretativas sobre esta relación. En la primera de ellas, la inversión pública es complementaria a la inversión privada y en la segunda opción se espera encontrar multiplicadores del gasto público positivos y persistentes. Para contrastar la hipótesis se usó la aproximación de VAR estructural y los multiplicadores keynesianos. Para la primera opción, se encontró que hay efecto complementariedad entre inversión pública y privada, cuando es inversión en obras públicas y desarrollo de las comunicaciones en el corto plazo durante los años del estudio.En el segundo caso, se encontró evidencia para afirmar que los efectos de la política fiscal sobre la actividad económica medidos a través de multiplicadores acumulados del gasto público son positivos persistentes y pequeños en el año contemporaneo para luego llegar a la unidad en el medio plazo. El sector con mayor efecto multiplicador del gasto público sobre el PIB real es obras públicas. La política fiscal también actúa mediante el multiplicador acumulado de los impuestos totales sobre el PIB real. En este caso, este es negativo, persistente y pequeño como se espera en la teoria.

Published: November 2022

One of the reason of loses of main production sources nowadays for chemical, food and special industries is the degradation of equipment and constructions caused by acid corrosion. Traditional materials are characterized by various disadvantages, among them: high costs of the material, low water resistance, hard technology and danger for the personal.
One of the ways to obtain acid resistant material is the use of alkali activated cements, which are known are the resistant to the aggressive environments. Increasing of acid resistance is possible by reducing of system basicity level.
The presented studies have proved the possibility to obtain acid resistant materials, able to be hardening in normal condition, so far as possibility to partial replacement of the conditional alumina silicates by alumina silicates with technogenic origin, namely, red mud from alumina production under Bayer process. Reducing of basicity level make it possible to increase corrosion resistance coefficient up to 0.88. Also thus a way material became more ecologically friendly and lowering the cost of material.
URBAN PLANNING FACTORS OF CHOOSING A TECHNOPARK MODEL IN THE CONDITIONS OF A HISTORICALLY FORMED CITY (THE CASE OF LVIV)
Authors: Mazur Tamara , Korol Yevheniia 
Published: November 2022

World experience shows the high efficiency of technological parks and technopolises as centers of innovative business. Their activities significantly affect the structure and competitiveness of national high-tech industries. Since the theory and practice of innovative activity is dynamically developing, constantly improving the organizational structure of technoparks and innovative structures of various types, it is necessary to constantly study the world experience of their functioning and flexibly respond to any progressive changes.
Lviv, as the largest city and center of the Western region of Ukraine, has all the prerequisites to become a locomotive for the integration of our state into the European processes of social development - cultural, economic, scientific and educational. Developed in this context and approved by the city administration, the "Strategy for the Development of Lviv until 2030" sees its main goal in transforming the city into "the first city of Ukrainian European integration and a European way of life through the formation of an innovative economy."
The difficult military and political circumstances in which our country is today have led to significant destruction of the economic sphere and deformation of the structure of the industrial sector. Therefore, its restoration on an innovative basis in the largest cities of Ukraine should be started before the end of hostilities.
The article examines the basic models of technology park structures in countries with a developed market economy. Studies show that there is no single generalized model of technology parks. The general focus is on knowledge-intensive production and high-tech industries. At the same time, in different countries of the world, the functioning of technoparks has its own national elements and features. Today, researchers distinguish three main architectural and organizational models of technology parks - American, European and Japanese. Their functional content, urban development trends and peculiarities of architectural and spatial organization are determined. In the context of the identified trends, the directions of formation and development of high-tech science-intensive production facilities in Lviv are analyzed. The choice of the most effective models of technoparks for the conditions of the city is substantiated.

Published: November 2022

Significant volumes of outdated housing stock in Ukrainian cities require careful accounting, analysis, and substantiation of the order of immediate reconstruction measures. A specialized geographic information database should become the basis for the development and successful implementation of programs and projects for complex reconstruction.
This publication presents the results of the formation of the geoinformation base of the outdated housing stock of Kyiv as the basis for the implementation of the urban program for complex reconstruction. The database is presented in the form of passports of the territories of outdated buildings in the context of the administrative districts of Kyiv. Attribute information includes data both for each individual house and for blocks and neighbourhoods of outdated housing stock as objects of complex reconstruction. The cartographic basis is the vector topographic-geodetic mapping of Kyiv on a scale of 1:2000.
The structure of such a system can serve as the basis for a database of outdated buildings in any settlement.
Foreign Experience of Graffiti Commercialisation: from Objection to Cooperation
Authors: Zhyhailo Maryna 
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the work is to comprehend graffiti commercialisation process in the European countries and the USA, determine the peculiarities of interaction between graffiti artists, the advertising industry and private companies. The methodology of the research stipulates the use of axiologic, semiotic, comparative analysis, hermeneutic interpretation of the basics of interdisciplinary, namely cultorologic and artistic, approaches. The stated methodological set of tools allows clarifying the peculiarities of graffiti inclusion into the commercial field and the attitude of graffiti artists to the defined phenomenon. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the discovery of the dynamics of graffiti inclusion into the commercial dimension of art, classification of the behavioural patterns in the writers’ attitude to their art monetisation. Conclusions. Graffiti overcame the barrier of hostility with the society and identification with the rebel demonstration of marginalised groups and acquired the characteristics of legitimised form of art in the European countries and the USA, paradoxically holding down therewith romanticised criminal identity that has made it a commercially demanded artistic object. The main behavioural patterns in the writers’ attitude to graffiti commercialisation are negative, integrative, and neutral, the correspondence to which is determined by the degree of interaction with business representatives and authority.

Public Holiday as a Formation Factor of State Cultural Policy
Authors: Pashkevych Maryna 
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article is to analyse the public holiday as a formation factor of the state cultural policy, as well as to conceptually comprehend the transformation of a modern public holiday calendar and its valuable ideological potential under the current conditions of Russian military aggression. Research methodology is based on the use of both general and special scientific methods of cognition, including methods of generalisation, synthesis and analysis, the toolkit of which is optimised for the study of public holiday phenomena as an important factor of the state cultural policy. Scientific novelty. There is a scientific gap regarding the key role of festive practices in the general scheme of building independent Ukraine. The scientific novelty of this paper lies in the theoretical generalisation of the problem and defining categorical statements related to the research topic. Conclusions. The conducted research enabled proving the need for the formation of a new state cultural policy, in the strategy of which the modern Ukrainian holidays should play an important role. Furthermore, such holidays should be significantly different comparing with the festive practices of the aggressor country and its regressive narratives. Currently, specialists in the field of culture are facing the challenges of bold experiments and the search of new forms, which should bring European value orientations and, at the same time, preserve traditional, national features. The modern public holidays should represent a more complex, highly organised level of synthesised propaganda of Ukrainian values by means of modern and conventional art. The organisation of public holidays should be undertaken by artistic intellectuals who strive to find new forms and genres of art, as well as determine the ways of the most emotional and effective forms of building state cultural policy. Significant changes can be taken under the condition of effective interaction between authorised state bodies that contribute to both cultural and artistic processes and creative energy of conscious Ukrainians. The Ukrainian society is in urgent need of high-quality cultural promotion which can be implemented by introducing new public holiday practices.
