Recent studies demonstrate that children born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) are at higher risks of various unfavorable conditions including low Apgar scores, complications of neonatal adaptation, and intraventricular hemorrhage, a disorder specific for preterm children. The results are greater hospital stay and further hospital admissions. Factors provoking these complications are still controversial. Among them are medications and methods for infertility, or reproductive system disorders accompanying pregnancy after IVF. It is still disputable whether health impairments in children result from mothers’ extragenital and gynecological comorbidities or IVF itself.
The paper addresses clinical case illustrating management strategy of a preterm infant born after IVF considering the issues of extreme morphological and functional immaturity. Preterm infant management and providing favorable conditions for their feeding considering corrected age are the primary task for pediatricians. Knowing of the specifics of growth and development of preterm infants is of particular importance in daily clinical practice.
Keywords: children health, assisted reproductive treatment, IVF, prematurity, extremely low birth weight.

Manifesto on Neighbourliness
No full textThe manifesto and toolkit offers a starting place for ethical creative inquiry when making work with other people or community from an institutional position, such as student, artist-in-resident, or faculty. It is in response to the author’s experience as a community practice artist who spent their undergraduate degree at Emily Carr University frustrated with the overwhelming pressure to create fast-paced, ethically questionable projects using community as subject. Manifesto on Neighbourliness: Ethics Toolkit for Creative Community Inspiration collates knowledge shared via conversation, reading assignments, making mistakes, and other forms of interdependent inquiry. Mickey L.D. Morgan explores ethics through themes such as care, mitigating violence, responsibility, while at the same time an attempt at practicing these through situating themself within the text

Theoretical studies of the historical development of the accounting discipline: a review and evidence
No full textMany existing studies of the development of accounting thought have either been atheoretical or have adopted Kuhn's model of scientific growth. The limitations of this 35-year-old model are discussed. Four different general neo-Kuhnian models of scholarly knowledge development are reviewed and compared with reference to an analytical matrix. The models are found to be mutually consistent, with each focusing on a different aspect of development. A composite model is proposed. Based on a hand-crafted database, author co-citation analysis is used to map empirically the entire literature structure of the accounting discipline during two consecutive time periods, 1972–81 and 1982–90. The changing structure of the accounting literature is interpreted using the proposed composite model of scholarly knowledge development
Biohydrogen production under hyper salinity stress by an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor with mixed culture
No full textBackground: This study investigated the effect of organic loading rate (OLR) and NaCl concentration on biohydrogen production by preheated anaerobic sludge in a lab scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) fed with glucose during long time operation. Methods: During ASBR operation, the OLR was increased in steps from 0.5 to 5 g glucose/L.d and NaCl addition started at an OLR of 5 g glucose/L.d, to obtain NaCl concentrations in the reactor in the range of 0.5-30 g/L. Results: With an increasing OLR from 0.5 to 5 g glucose/L.d, the biohydrogen yield increased and reached 0.8 ± 0.4 mol H2/mol glucose at an OLR of 5 g glucose/L.d. A NaCl concentration of 0.5 g/L resulted in a higher yield of biohydrogen (1.1 ± 0.2 mol H2/mol glucose). Concentrations above 0.5 g/L NaCl led to decreasing biohydrogen yield and the lowest yield (0.3 ± 0.1 mol H2/mol glucose) was obtained at 30 g/L of NaCl. The mass balance errors for C, H, and O in all constructed stoichiometric reactions were below 5%. Conclusions: The modified Monod model indicated that r (H2)max and Ccrit values were 23.3 mL H2/g VSS/h and 119.9 g/L, respectively. Additionally, ASBR operation at high concentrations of NaCl shifted the metabolic pathway from acidogenic toward solventogenic.Sanitary Engineerin
Ихтиоз (понятие, патогистология, клиническая картина, лечение)
No full textIchthyosis is a skin disease that is hereditary, has pronounced symptoms in the form of a violation of the skin, and the presence of formations resembling fish scales. It is possible to distinguish different approaches to the definition of ichthyosis, based on the modern study of this issue. Ichthyosis is classified by type: congenital and acquired. Congenital ichthyosis has its own classification depending on the manifestation of changes in the skin, the course of the disease, concomitant pathologies. Congenital ichthyosis is divided into ordinary (vulgar autosomal dominant, simple) ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis (dry ichthyosiform erythroderma, "collodion child", lamellar ichthyosis), X-linked ichthyosis (ichthyosis associated with the X chromosome, blackening ichthyosis), congenital bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (erythroderma Broca's disease, ichthyosiform epidermolytic hyperkeratosis), fetal ichthyosis (intrauterine ichthyosis, universal hyperkeratosis, "Harlequin fetus", congenital keratosis), other congenital ichthyosis. Ichthyosiform conditions (the so-called acquired ichthyosis) are divided into symptomatic, age-related (senile), discoid ichthyosis. The causes of acquired ichthyosis can be various diseases, taking medications, improper skin care, unbalanced nutrition. Each form of ichthyosis differs by the type of inheritance, prevalence in the population, clinical picture, verified by histological examination of skin biopsies and electron microscopic examination of the skin. It may be accompanied by seasonality of exacerbation of the clinical picture, association with other diseases (allergic, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, congenital malformations). There is no specific treatment for ichthyosis. In systemic therapy, derivatives of vitamin A are used, keratolytics, as well as moisturizing and emollient agents are used for external treatment. The use of therapeutic baths, general ultraviolet irradiation is effective.Ихтиоз представляет собой заболевание кожи, которое является наследственным, имеет выраженную симптоматику в виде нарушения кожных покровов и наличием образований напоминающих чешую рыбы. Можно выделить различные подходы к определению ихтиоза, основанные на современном изучении данного вопроса. Ихтиоз классифицируется по типу: врожденный и приобретенный. Врожденный ихтиоз имеет свою классификацию в зависимости от проявления изменений кожного покрова, течения заболевания, сопутствующих патологий. Врожденный ихтиоз подразделяется на обыкновенный (вульгарный аутосомно-доминантный, простой) ихтиоз, пластинчатый ихтиоз (сухая ихтиозиформная эритродермия, коллодиевый ребенок, ламеллярный ихтиоз), Х-сцепленный ихтиоз (ихтиоз, связанный с Х-хромосомой, чернеющий ихтиоз), врожденная буллезная ихтиозиформная эритродермия (эритродермия Брока, ихтиозиформный эпидермолитический гиперкератоз), ихтиоз плода (ихтиоз внутриутробный, гиперкератоз универсальный, плод Арлекин, кератоз врожденный), другой врожденный ихтиоз. Ихтиозиформные состояния (так называемый приобретенный ихтиоз) подразделяются на симптоматический, возрастной (старческий), дисковидный ихтиоз. Причинами приобретенного ихтиоза могут быть различные заболевания, прием препаратов, неправильный уход за кожей, несбалансированное питание. Каждая форма ихтиоза отличается типом наследования, распространенностью в популяции, клинической картиной, верифицируется с помощью гистологического исследования биоптатов кожи и электронно-микроскопического исследования кожи. Может сопровождаться сезонностью обострения клинической картины, ассоциацией с другими заболеваниями (аллергические, заболевания желудочно-кишечного тракта, врожденные аномалии развития). Специфического лечения ихтиоза не существует. В системной терапии применяют производные витамина группы А, для наружного лечения используют кератолитики, а также увлажняющие и смягчающие средства.

Becoming a good host: A beginner’s guide to learning deliberative civic engagement
No full textThis article examines how Deliberative Civic Engagement (DCE) is used as a public engagement process to invite disjointed cultural communities into a shared space to engage in democratically inspired dialogue. Dialogue is sought in DCE events because it encourages reflexivity and allows for collaborative ideation processes. Collaboration among differing groups demands that DCE events are open enough to be influenced by the immediate concerns of the participants involved. In addition, openness and vulnerability are required to support deep level thinking and connection between heterogeneous identities represented.

Author\u27s note
As the COVID-19 crisis continues, social distancing is being encouraged to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. Consequently, many conversations between colleagues, friends, and family have moved online using platforms like Zoom and Google Hangouts. Digital technologies have enabled people to overcome some of the obstacles posed by this unprecedented viral event. However, merely having the technology to talk to our peers does not automatically make conversations easier. Nor does COVID-19 erase the social barriers that previously complicated our relationships. However, I believe that people are resilient and that there are ample tools available to spark meaningful discussions amongst our associates. Thus, this article serves as a primer for deliberative civic engagement, which provides one approach to facilitating constructive, informed, and decisive dialogue with others. I argue that cultivating constructive dialogue is a skill with multiple avenues for improvement. So I hope that this article will provide helpful ideas to strengthen your communication skills while encouraging you to engage in fruitful dialogue with others in your life
