Formation and development of special police units: a retrospective analysis by K. O. Chyshko, R. S. Pinchuk

“…Stage I (1709–1917) – formation of the land militia, which can be considered the first example of the existence of modern special police units; Stage II (1917–1941) – characterised by the creation of Ukrainian voluntary militia and military formations; Stage III (1941–1978) – a period of stagnation in the history of the formation of special police units due to the events of the First and Second World Wars; Stage IV (1978–1991) – creation of the first special unit in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR at the official level – a special police detachment; Stage V (1991–2014) – associated with Ukraine’s independence and the creation of Berkut special police unit, Titan special police unit, Sokil rapid response unit; Stage VI (2014 – present) – formation of special police units that actively participate in armed conflicts; this stage was influenced by three key events: 1) the anti-terrorist operation in eastern Ukraine, which was later called the “Joint Forces Operation”, which led to the creation of a number of volunteer special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine; 2) the creation of the National Police of Ukraine and the formation of special units within its structure (the Rapid Action Corps, the Special Police Patrol Service and the Tactical Response Unit); 3) Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which led to the creation of a militarised special police unit, the “Luty” Joint Assault Brigade of the National Police of Ukraine and the “Safari” assault regiment of the National Police.…”

IGF-1 Restores Visual Cortex Plasticity in Adult Life by Reducing Local GABA Levels by José Fernando Maya-Vetencourt, Laura Baroncelli, Alessandro Viegi, Ettore Tiraboschi, Eero Castren, Antonino Cattaneo, Lamberto Maffei

“…Moreover, we show that a transitory increase of IGF-1 expression is associated to the plasticity reinstatement induced by environmental enrichment (EE) and that blocking IGF-1 action by means of the IGF-1 receptor antagonist JB1 prevents EE effects on plasticity processes.…”

Effect of Apical Preparation on Different Needle Depth Penetration. by Samara Gurgis Essa, Razawa Kareem Saeed, Diyar Khalid Baker

“… Introduction: Irrigation is a fundamental part of endodontic debridement as because it allows for cleaning beyond what might be accomplished by root canal instrumentation. The flushing action produced by the irrigant and the penetration of the irrigant is not dependent only on the anatomy of the root canal system, but also on the depth of placement, system of delivery, the volume and fluid properties of the irrigant. …”
