Objective – to assess the dynamics of the prevalence and incidence of the thyroid diseaseamong the adult population of Ukraine and Chernivtsi region during 2015-2020.Material and methods. A comparative analysis of official accounting and reportingstatistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the main indicators of the endocrinologyservice of Chernivtsi region on the prevalence and incidence of adult pathology of thethyroid gland over the past 5 years.Results. In Ukraine, the number of pathologies of the thyroid gland has increased,accounting for 48% of the total incidence of endocrine diseases. The most commonpathology is diffuse and nodular goitres. Their level in the western region, includingChernivtsi region, is higher than the national average. In Ukraine the incidence ofhypothyroidism has increased 20.3% for 5 years. Thyrotoxicosis increased 9.1%, andthe prevalence of thyroiditis increased 16.8%. The increase in the Chernivtsi region wasslightly lower. The high frequency of thyroid pathologies depends on the imbalance oftrace elements and vitamins in the diet against a background of iodine deficiency in thediet, environmental degradation and insufficient preventive measures.Conclusions. The analysis shows that in the western regions of Ukraine it is necessaryto apply a differentiated approach to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of patientswith various thyroid diseases.

AbstractOver the past few years an investigation has been conducted to determine the extent of seismic signals associated with avalanching snow slopes. A number of the signals recorded have been examined and classified according to their origin. One of these signals, however, is not clearly defined in terms of an observable source mechanism. To obtain information regarding the origin of this signal we have compared the results from several investigations conducted to study the seismic activity associated with glaciers. A comparative analysis of the snow and glacier signals indicates that the high-frequency signals observed in snow fields are due to internal fracture within the snow.

Diagnosis Of Thyroid Cancer

It is believed that thyroid cancer is quite rare, accounting for less than 1% of the total number of malignant tumors in the population in all countries of the world. However, studies in recent years have revealed a significant increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer and its pronounced geographical differences. Therefore, while in Japan it is 0.5 per 100,000 of the population for men and 1.9-3.0 per 100,000 of the population for women, in Norway it is 2.0 and 5.8 per 100,000 of the population, respectively. In addition, there was information about the high frequency of the latent thyroid cancer. In Japan, in particular, latent thyroid cancer is found in 5.6–35.6% of autopsies included in the statistics. We are talking about random finds in people who died from non-endocrine diseases. The clinical significance of latent cancer is still unknown. This is evidence that malignant tumors of the thyroid gland are not a rare disease and are often not diagnosed during the patient’s life.

Abstract. Cirebon shipwreck was found in 2003 and then its cargo successfully rescued (removed) in 2005 to 2007. Although various types of findings in the shipwreck cargo, ceramics from the late 9th century up to 10 M are the findings most and populous. So many and prominence of the form and amount of the findings of ceramics, drawing attention to know where thosecommodities were loaded, where else location which also present the similar kind of those ceramics in the archipelago, as seen from the direction and position of the sunken ship shown the ship might came from some place in western region and most likely is the region of Southern Sumatra. This article will attempt to explain the distribution of similar findings (ceramics), the location of its sites in the region of Southern Sumatra, and its relationship with the activity of the cruise ship later sank on its way in the waters off the coast of Cirebon. The methods used were qualitative and comparative analysis which give description and ceramics distribution. The results of this analysis can be concluded on the sites in the region of South Sumatra has an important role in shipping and trading of the past, either as the port of destination or stay over port for local sailors to load commodity trading before distributed to other regions in archipelago.Abstrak. Kapal karam di perairan pantai Cirebon merupakan kapal karam yang ditemukan pada tahun 2003, kemudian muatan nya berhasil diselamatkan (diangkat) pada tahun 2005 hingga 2007. Meski berbagai jenis temuan dalam muatan kapal karam tersebut, keramik asing dari akhir abad ke-9-10 merupakan temuan salah satu terbanyak atau terpadat. Begitu banyak dan menonjolnya bentuk dan jumlah temuan keramik, bila melihat dari arah dan lokasi kapal tersebut karam menunjukkan kapal ini berasal dari sebuah tempat di wilayah barat dan kemungkinan besar adalah wilayah Sumatera Bagian Selatan. Tulisan ini akan berusaha memaparkan sebaran temuan sejenis (keramik) yang terdapat pada situs-situs di wilayah Sumatera Bagian Selatan, dan hubungannya dengan aktivitas pelayaran kapal yang kemudian karam dalam perjalanannya di perairan lepas pantai Cirebon, melalui pemerian dan pemetaan sebaran serta melakukan data tertulis dan data penelitian-penelitian yang telah dilakukan dalam permasalahan yang terkait dengan menggunakan metode analisis kualitatif dan komparatif. Hasil dari analisis ini dapat disimpulkan mengenai sebaran situs-situs di wilayah Sumatera Bagian Selatan memiliki peran yang cukup penting pada pelayaran dan perdagangan masa lalu, baik sebagai pelabuhan tujuan maupun pelabuhan singgah untuk para pelaut Nusantara memuat komoditi dagang sebelum di distribusikan ke wilayah lain. Kata kunci: Kapal karam Cirebon, Keramik abad ke 9-10 M, Sumatera Bagian Selatan.

BACKGROUND Since November 2019, Covid - 19 has spread across the globe costing people their lives and countries their economic stability. The world has become more interconnected over the past few decades owing to globalisation and such pandemics as the Covid -19 are cons of that. This paper attempts to gain deeper understanding into the correlation between globalisation and pandemics. It is a descriptive analysis on how one of the factors that was responsible for the spread of this virus on a global scale is globalisation. OBJECTIVE - To understand the close relationship that globalisation and pandemics share. - To understand the scale of the spread of viruses on a global scale though a comparison between SARS and Covid -19. - To understand the sale of globalisation present during SARS and Covid - 19. METHODS A descriptive qualitative comparative analysis was used throughout this research. RESULTS Globalisation does play a significant role in the spread of pandemics on a global level. CONCLUSIONS - SARS and Covid - 19 were varied in terms of severity and spread. - The scale of globalisation was different during the time of SARS and Covid - 19. - Globalisation can be the reason for the faster spread in Pandemics.

Abstract A new simple computational tool is proposed for the synthesis of multi-section coupled-line filters based on combined modified planar circuit method (MPCM) and transmission line method (TLM) analysis, referred to as MPCM-TLM. Due to its fundamentally simple architecture, the presented tool offers significantly faster optimization of coupled-line filters – for exactly the same initial simulation set-up – than other costly commercially-available tools, giving equally reliable results. Validity and accuracy of the proposed tool have been verified through the design of 3rd, 5th, and 7th order coupled-line filters and comparative analysis between results obtained from the proposed approach and the high-frequency structure simulator. A remarkable 99% time reduction in the analysis is recorded in the case of 7th order filter using the proposed tool, for almost identical results to HFSS. Therefore, it can be confidently claimed that the proposed technique can be used as a reliable alternative to existing complex, costly, processor-intensive CAD tools.

Novel Coronavirus

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus in humans, has expanded globally over the past year. COVID-19 remains an important subject of intensive research owing to its huge impact on economic and public health globally. Based on historical archives, the first coronavirus-related disease recorded was possibly animal-related, a case of feline infectious peritonitis described as early as 1912. Despite over a century of documented coronaviruses in animals, the global animal industry still suffers from outbreaks. Knowledge and experience handling animal coronaviruses provide a valuable tool to complement our understanding of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, we present an overview of coronaviruses, clinical signs, COVID-19 in animals, genome organization and recombination, immunopathogenesis, transmission, viral shedding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. By drawing parallels between COVID-19 in animals and humans, we provide perspectives on the pathophysiological mechanisms by which coronaviruses cause diseases in both animals and humans, providing a critical basis for the development of effective vaccines and therapeutics against these deadly viruses.

AbstractA study was conducted on twinning in relatives of consecutive triplet sets in the Åland Islands in the years 1740-1939. The incidence of twinning in sibships of triplets was extremely high, 80/1000 (56/1000 before and 143/1000 after the triplet maternity). In Finland as a whole, 1905-1954, the twinning rate was among mothers of triplets 38/1000, ie, about 2.6 times the rate in general population, and was higher after (48/1000) than before the triplet maternity (34/1000). In the sibships of fathers of triplets there was a low rate of twinning (below 10/1000) both of same-sexed (SS) and of opposite-sexed (OS) triplets. Among sibships of mothers of OS triplets the twinning rate was 18/1000 and among mothers' sibships of SS triplets 26/1000. The series of triplet families from both Åland and Finland as a whole indicate a considerably higher frequency of twinning on the maternal than on the paternal side. The sibships of OS triplets in Finland have higher twinning rates than sibships of SS triplets (50/1000 vs 27/1000). In sibships of triplets, not only the DZ but also the MZ twinning rates were approximately twice as high as those in the general population. The triplet rates in Finland were increasing strongly with maternal age and were in the last century among mothers of 30-39 years of age considerably higher than among mothers from this century. This, in combination with higher mean parity, may explain the high rates of multiple maternities in sibships of triplets in the past. The rate of triplet maternities seems to be more sensitive to sociodemographic changes than the rate of twin maternities. Mothers of triplets in Finland had a high frequency (more than 40%) of prenuptially conceived firstborn children. This, and a short protogenesic interval indicate that triplet-prone mothers are more fecundable, ie, they conceive with greater ease and/or may have a better physical condition than other women for completing a gestation with multiple embryos.

Anticancer Treatment

Lung cancer remains to be one of the most common and serious types of cancer worldwide. While treatment is available, the survival rate of this cancer is still critically low due to late stage diagnosis and high frequency of drug resistance, thus highlighting the pressing need for a greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in lung carcinogenesis. Studies in the past years have evidenced that microRNAs (miRNAs) are critical players in the regulation of various biological functions, including apoptosis, which is a process frequently evaded in cancer progression. Recently, miRNAs were demonstrated to possess proapoptotic or antiapoptotic abilities through the targeting of oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. This review examines the involvement of miRNAs in the apoptotic process of lung cancer and will also touch on the promising evidence supporting the role of miRNAs in regulating sensitivity to anticancer treatment.

Prior to 1985, type 2 diabetes was a disease of adults. Simultaneously with the global epidemic of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes has increased in children. Initially, the presentation of small case series of type 2 diabetes in children was met with skepticism. As the number and size of the case series grew and the first long-term outcomes of end-stage complications in young adults appeared in the literature, the international community took notice with guarded interest. Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects the children of specific ethnic groups and from disadvantaged socioeconomic environments, especially Indigenous populations. The past decade has seen unprecedented intense global interest in the etiology, treatment, and prevention of type 2 diabetes in children.
