  • 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.

Surіadna, G. Mykytynets. — New findings of Triturus dobrogicus and Lissotriton vulgaris are recorded in the Lower Dnipro river area, Kherson region, Ukraine. The species T. dobrogicus and L. vul­ garis were found for the first time in Pravi Solonets village, Oleshkovsky district, Kherson region (46°34´0˝N 32°39´29˝E) in spring 2017. We clarified the south­eastern range edge of the studied species. The newts were collected during night­time surveys in a riparian gallery forest dominated by Quercus, Ulmus, and Fraxinus. The abundance of newts was low, seven individuals were observed on 20–30 m of route: four specimens of T. dobrogicus and one of L. vulgaris in March, one specimen of T. dobrogicus and one of L. vulgaris in May. Collected specimens do not differ in external morphology, size, body shape, and colour pattern from other conspecific populations. The populations are threatened, especially during their migrations. We propose to include these newt species into the Regional Red Data List of Kherson region. We also suggest including the described biotope into the Oleshkivski Pisky National Nature Park for protection and effective conservation of unique amphibian populations in the Lower Dnipro area of the Kherson region, Ukraine.

  • Kherson Region - the Territory of Energy Efficient Technologies
    Kherson region - the territory of energy efficient technologies. Kherson region is situated in southern Ukraine and characterized by mild and dry winters and hot dry summers, has a flat terrain favorable for building wind farms and solar power plants of any size. The presence benefits of the Kherson region, namely: - Paying in all state bodies due attention to the issue of creating the most comfortable business environment and a favorable climate for investment, - The lack of a large number of power plants renewable energy, which leads to the possibility of technically relatively simple and therefore cheap issuing power grid in Ukraine, - The ability to quickly increase the capacity of these stations by free land areas, - Region, based on the intensity of annual solar radiation, wind factors is one of the most attractive in the Ukraine, which allows the region to introduce to alternative projects. Interbranch Scientific and Technical Center Institute of wind Renewable Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine conducted a series of studies in the region about the availability of potential renewable energy sources. According to the Center in its "sunny" potential Kherson region occupies one of the top positions in the country. The number of sunny days in a year reaches 240, or 65%. Average solar radiation in the region of 1.35 - 1.45 MW / sq. m per year. Share of the Kherson region that has high wind energy potential is - 10%. According to the research in the region is possible to build wind farms with a total installed capacity of 4.4 thousand MW.
