In children following asthma and epilepsy, diabetes is the third most prevalent chronic condition. More recently, the cumulative incidence of diabetes has started to grow significantly among children and adults. This has been partly influenced by the obesity pandemic in youth. Understandably, the health agencies and countries coping with the disease's important morbidity with possible grave complications have been placing an economic strain. More treatment discoveries have since broadened the list of alternatives for the drugs available. The use of plants to treat different human conditions is stated in Ayurveda and other Indian literature. India has approximately 48000 plant species and several thousand of them have claimed to have medicinal properties. Ants diabetic properties have been seen in research on plants described or historically used in ancient literature in the last few decades. The area of herbal medicine has grown exponentially in recent years, and both in the development and developed countries these medications are increasingly common due to their natural sources and fewer side effects. This study is aimed to provide information about the plant's anti-diabetes function based on the main evidence gathered from web search pages from different literature and science publications.

Of the many important events that occurred in the two decades of the 21st century, the process of accelerating urbanization—especially in third-world countries—became something quite phenomenal. It's never even happened before. In the early 2000s, only about 45 percent of the population in the third world lived in urban areas, by 2020 the number had reached about 55 percent. Between now and 2035 the percentage of the population living in urban areas will reach about 85 percent in developed countries. Meanwhile, in developing countries will reach about 65 percent. By 2035, it is also projected that about 80 percent of the world's urban population will live in developing countries' cities.

The article shows the level of ICT development in the Southeast Asian countries, the measures of the governments of these countries for introducing of ICT into tax administration and implementation of ICT for tax payments. According to the author, the panorama of the use of electronic means for tax payments is ambiguous and is determined by a number of economic and social factors. Three groups of countries were accurately designated. The first group consists of technologically developed countries of the region where modern means of tax payments very actively used. The second group consists of less technologically developed countries, where scope of ICT is incomparably narrow. The third group of countries consists of the least developed countries where the tax administration just begins to use ICT.

Leadership Models

We argue that there are essentially two chief leadership models: the hard-style and soft-style leadership. From Neutrosophic point of view, there can be a third way, between hard-style leadership and soft-style leadership model, which may be more relevant to many of people in developing countries as well as in developed countries, who feel “powerless” and “hopeless” especially in this pandemic situation. We prefer to call this new approach: leading from powerlessness. The third-way Neutrosophic leadership model may also mean partially hard-style and partially soft-style leadership.

Categories of the academic revolutions and innovations in a perspective of educational policy at the higher school are considered. Special attention is paid to the development of innovations in training at the foreign and Ukrainian universities, since X1X of a century up to now. It is noted that agricultural, industrial, global, demographic and other revolutions created basis for the academic revolutions which resulted from transformations of society and caused innovations in higher education systems. The contribution of the academic revolutions in strengthening of role of the universities in society is confirmed. The major innovations in training stimulated university teaching throughout all academic revolutionary periods (after 1867, 1945, 1983) in developed industrial and developing countries, such as the USA, some states of the European Union and Ukraine. Emergence of innovations in policy of teaching at the universities during the first academic revolution, their modification during the second one, and new turns in transformation of innovations during the third academic revolution is investigated. Introduction of innovations in teaching differed in intensity and scale during the academic revolutions. On examples of teaching it is shown how political and ideological processes in society influenced functioning of the universities. An attempt to compare educational processes during three revolutions and to reveal the most innovational period was made. It is proved that innovations in training were implanted in three academic revolutions, the third one turned out to be the most innovative. The major innovations in policy of teaching were connected with the development of scientific and technical knowledge that contributed to the emergence of the information society. The developed countries offered the introduction of policy of cooperation in the higher education that made impact on innovations in university education. The Coronavirus pandemic of 2019/20 demonstrated the need to use various forms of Internet communications (Zoom, Google Classroom, Moodle, Whereby, etc.) to switch to new opportunities to teach students in higher education institutions around the world at the beginning of the XXI century.

In recent decades, calls for poverty alleviation have increased significantly in both developed and developing countries. Relatively, ICTs have been viewed as offering helpful tools for poverty reduction. This chapter investigates access to ICTs in the context of poverty, in both developed and developing countries. Based on a sample of 40 countries (20 developing and 20 developed countries), several statistical tests have been performed with promising results obtained. It is first shown that people in developing countries have less access to ICTs relative to those in developed countries. Second, it is also proven that the use of Internet is positively affected by the literacy rate within a country. The higher the literacy rate, the higher the number of Internet users in a country. The third result conveys that countries with higher GDP per capita ensure higher access to ICTs for their populations. Finally, this chapter proposes that populations of countries with higher poverty rates have less access to ICTs.

The studies were conducted on the natural waters of Georgia: Gortubani and Naminauri (Adigeni region), Danisparauli, Dandalo and Makhinjauri (Adjara region) which exhibit medicinal properties. The following water indicators were determined: titratable acidity, electrical conductivity, hardness, the content of solids, sulfates, chlorides, hydrocarbonates, nitrates, ammonium salts and metals. These indicators were determined in the source water, as well as in the concentrate and permeate obtained by ultrafiltration. The productivity of the ultrafiltration process was determined, its dependence on the duration of the process, the applied pressure and the location of the spring. The productivity of the Danisparauli water ultrafiltration process decreases with time; the productivity remains unchanged during the filtration of the Makhinjauri and Naminauri waters; during ultrafiltration, the titratable acidity of the Makhinjauri water increases significantly, by 66.5%, that of the water Naminauri by 36.6%, the titratable acidity of the Danisparauli water remains unchanged, the sulfide ion content in the Makhinjauri water increases by 12%, and in the Naminauri water by 35.5%, the chloride content in the process of concentrating practically does not change. It was found that all the investigated waters are contaminated with heavy metals and the population should not use them for treatment. The data obtained can be used to simulate the purification of natural sources.

Abstract Background and Objectives The penetration rate of physical examinations in China is substantially lower than that in developed countries. Therefore, an auxiliary approach that does not depend on hospital health checks for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is needed. Methods In this study, we proposed an augmented method with inferred blood features that uses self-care inputs available at home for the auxiliary diagnosis of MetS. The dataset used for modeling contained data on 91,420 individuals who had at least 2 consecutive years of health checks. We trained three separate models using a regularized gradient-boosted decision tree. The first model used only home-based features; additional blood test data (including triglyceride [TG] data, fasting blood glucose data, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] data) were included in the second model. However, in the augmented approach, the blood test data were manipulated using multivariate imputation by chained equations prior to inclusion in the third model. The performance of the three models for MetS auxiliary diagnosis was then quantitatively compared. Results The results showed that the third model exhibited the highest classification accuracy for MetS in comparison with the other two models (area under the curve [AUC]: 3rd vs. 2nd vs. 1st = 0.971 vs. 0.950 vs. 0.905, p < 0.001). We further revealed that with full sets of the three measurements from earlier blood test data, the classification accuracy of MetS can be further improved (AUC: without vs. with = 0.971 vs. 0.993). However, the magnitude of improvement was not statistically significant at the 1% level of significance (p = 0.014). Conclusion Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of the third model for MetS homecare applications and lend novel insights into innovative research on the health management of MetS. Further validation and implementation of our proposed model might improve quality of life and ultimately benefit the general population.

Acute Condition

Paraphimosis is an acute condition characterized by all the signs of inflammation. Here we describe a ‘chronic’ variant of paraphimosis where patients often present many days after the initial injury. The aim of this study is to identify and possibly classify this new variation of paraphimosis – the chronic condition. We studied 68 patients with this condition between 1997 and 2005. In all, the prepuce was fibrous and bunched up behind the glans penis and, in some cases, with ulcerations. All patients were treated by excision of the fibrous flap and circumcision, under local anaesthesia. Patients were discharged on the same dayon which the excision was done. Follow-up was on the third, seventh and ninetieth days. Long-term follow-up was possible in only 22 patients. This technique of modified circumcision was effective in treating this condition and we think a new classification of paraphimosis is warranted – acute and chronic.
