Competence and Authorization of the Security Service Of Ukraine as a Subject to Anti-Corruption and Organized Crime by O. O. Voronyi

“…In this case, if the competence characterizes the whole array of powers, the latter are not homogeneous. The powers of the Security Service of Ukraine as a subject of counteraction to corruption and organized crime are currently scattered in the system of general rights and responsibilities of the Security Service of Ukraine; powers of the Security Service of Ukraine in the field of operational and investigative activities; powers of the agency as a specialized entity for combating organized crime, etc.…”

REFRACTIVE INDEX DETERMINATION FOR A PLANE DIELECTRIC LAYER USING THE MEASUREMENTS OF TRANSMITTED BEAM INTENSITY by V. M. Serdyuk, J. A. Titovitsky

“…The aim of the present work is the theoretical justification of new refractive index determination technique for a homogeneous transparent plane dielectric layer. It uses intensity measurements for two polarizations of transmitting electromagnetic beam and does not take into consideration phase relationships and phase parameters of testing field at unknown thickness of a layer.For this purpose, the layer transmission energy coefficients for two linear polarizations of an electromagnetic beam, orthogonal and parallel to the plane of incidence, are studied to be dependent on the layer thickness and its refractive index. …”

Incidental left paraaortic mass in a patient with gall bladder adenocarcinoma: A diagnostic challenge by Manali Bhatta, Sharma Paudel, Ongden Yonjen Tamang, Prajwal Dahal, Santosh Shrestha, Sabina Parajuli

“…On imaging besides defining the findings seen in USG, we encountered a large heterogeneously enhancing possible left adrenal incidentaloma. A homogeneously hyper enhancing lesion along the paraganglia distribution, with no evidence of washout and a high T2 signal, is a hallmark imaging characteristic of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. …”
