  • Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease in the Southern Ukraine
    — !!!cifra_MNJ_№5_(tom16)_2020 01.07. Белоусова 07.07.Евдокимова ОРИГІНАЛЬНІ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ /ORIGINAL RESEARCHES/ UDC 616.858-036.22 DOI: 10.22141/2224-0713.16.5.2020.209248 I.V. Hubetova Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital, Odesa, Ukraine Odessa National Medical University, Odesa, Ukraine Epidemiology of Parkinson’s disease in the Southern Ukraine Abstract. Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with accumulation of alpha-synuclein and the formation of Lewy bodies inside nerve cells. The prevalence of PD ranges from 100 to 200 cases per 100,000 population. However, in the Ukrainian reality, many cases of the disease remain undiagnosed, which affects the statistical indicators of incidence and prevalence. The purpose of the study is to compare PD epidemiological indices in the Southern Ukraine with all-Ukrainian rates. Material and methods. Statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, public health departments of Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions for 2015–2017 were analyzed. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Results. Average prevalence of PD in Ukraine is 67.5 per 100,000 population — it is close to the Eastern European rate. The highest prevalence was registered in Lviv (142.5 per 100,000), Vinnytsia (135.9 per 100,000), Cherkasy (108.6 per 100,000) and Kyiv (107.1 per 100,000) regions. The lowest rates were in Luhansk (37.9 per 100,000), Kyrovohrad (42.5 per 100,000), Chernivtsi (49.0 per 100,000) and Ternopil (49.6 per 100,000) regions. In the Southern Ukraine, the highest prevalence of PD was found in Mykolaiv region.

  • Intensity Seismic Hazard Map of Romania by Probabilistic and (Neo)Deterministic Approaches, Linear and Nonlinear Analyses*
    Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 63, No. 1, P. 226–239, 2011 EARTH PHYSICS INTENSITY SEISMIC HAZARD MAP OF ROMANIA BY PROBABILISTIC AND (NEO)DETERMINISTIC APPROACHES, LINEAR AND NONLINEAR ANALYSES* GHEORGHE MĂRMUREANU, CARMEN ORTANZA CIOFLAN, ALEXANDRU MĂRMUREANU National Institute for Earth Physics P.O.Box MG-2, RO-077125 Bucharest-Magurele, Romania, E-mail:[email protected] Received September 27, 2010 Abstract. The last zonation seismic map has areas where seismic intensities are under- evaluated (e.g. Dobrogea, Banat etc.), and other areas are over-evaluated. The fundamental unacceptable point of view is that this design code is in peak ground accelerations which generates a lot of drawbacks to civil structural designers and to insurance companies which are paying all damages and causalities in function of earthquake intensity. The mapping is carried out using probabilistic approach and a complex hybrid waveform modeling method which combines the modal summation technique with finite-difference one to describe the seismic waves propagation through an inelastic space from source to free field surface. The result is a new seismic map in intensities by using probabilistic and deterministic approaches, linear and nonlinear seismology and developing the concept of control earthquake to obtain the banana shape of the attenuations curves of the macroseismic intensity along the directions defined by azimuths. Key words: Seismic hazard, probabilistic analysis, (neo)deterministic approach, etalon earthquake, seismic intensity. 1. INTRODUCTION The strong seismic events originating from Vrancea area can generate the most destructive effects experienced in Romania, and may seriously affect high risk man-made structures such as nuclear power plants (Cernavoda, Kosloduj, etc.), chemical plants, large dams and pipelines located within a wide area from Central * Paper nr.581 presented at 14th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology, Ohrid, August 30–September 3, 2010, Macedonia.

(Geology), Professor, Head of Ecology and Environmental Protection Department Odessa State Environmental University UKRAINE In [1] we demonstrated the relevance of the issue of marine pollution of the North-Western part of the Black Sea by Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), in particular – produced unintentionally. А significant contribution to marine pollution is made by the Odessa Industrial-And-Urban Agglomeration (IUA). Today the Odessa IUA is the largest agglomeration located on the Black Sea coast and includes Odessa, Chornomorsk, Yuzhne, Teplodar and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. One of the main sources of input of POPs in the marine environment is the sewage waters discharge, so we considered the input of these substances into the marine environment with the sewage waters discharge by Odessa IUA. Sewage waters discharge, which are formed in the household sector and at industrial facilities, is treated at the city sewerage system. According to [2], sewage waters – untreated and treated at active sludge plant, are a source of constant input of unintentionally produced POPs in the environment. In all cities of the Odessa IUA, waste waters are treated at active sludge plant. During the sewage water treatment at the active sludge plant, the formation of new POPs does not occur, but the existing POPs are redistributed between the sewage waters and waste activated sludge.

  • Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle
    Nominalia of the Bulgarian rulers An essay by Ilia Curto Pelle Bulgaria is a country with a rich history, spanning over a millennium and a half. However, most Bulgarians are unaware of their origins. To be honest, the quantity of information involved can be overwhelming, but once someone becomes invested in it, he or she can witness a tale of the rise and fall, steppe khans and Christian emperors, saints and murderers of the three Bulgarian Empires. As delving deep in the history of Bulgaria would take volumes upon volumes of work, in this essay I have tried simply to create a list of all Bulgarian rulers we know about by using different sources. So, let’s get to it. Despite there being many theories for the origin of the Bulgars, the only one that can show a historical document supporting it is the Hunnic one. This document is the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, dating back to the 8th or 9th century, which mentions Avitohol/Attila the Hun as the first Bulgarian khan. However, it is not clear when the Bulgars first joined the Hunnic Empire. It is for this reason that all the Hunnic rulers we know about will also be included in this list as khans of the Bulgars. The rulers of the Bulgars and Bulgaria carry the titles of khan, knyaz, emir, elteber, president, and tsar. This list recognizes as rulers those people, who were either crowned as any of the above, were declared as such by the people, despite not having an official coronation, or had any possession of historical Bulgarian lands (in modern day Bulgaria, southern Romania, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and northern Greece), while being of royal descent or a part of the royal family.
