The Eurasian economic union customs’ administration mechanism in the digital era

Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify the prospects for the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) customs regulation mechanism in digital transformation following the global trend. Design/Methodology/Approach: For the purpose of determining priorities for the EEU customs mechanism digitization, it is necessary to define the regulatory framework on which the digitalization process is based, to analyze the customs’ regulation sphere digitization direction in the member states of the EEU and to formulate the priorities for improving the EEU customs’ regulation mechanism on the information and communication technologies. Findings: EEU customs’ regulation mechanism digitization key areas have been identified, based on the provisions of the EEU’s Digital Agenda and the Declaration on further development of integration processes within the Union. Practical implications: The results can be implemented in the Eurasian Economic Commission management practice, the EEU member states customs’ authorities in order to improve the customs regulation mechanism. Originality/Value: The main contribution of this study is to identify the differences in the customs regulation sphere digitization processes in the EEU member states and to identify the areas for implementing a unified strategy.peer-reviewe

Treatment of local talus osteochondral defects using mosaic autogenous osteochondral plasty

The authors presented the brief incidence analysis of talus osteochondral defect (local joint surface osteonecrosis of the anklebone), its etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, modern diagnostic algorithm and described proposed surgical procedure. The operation consists of ankle joint arthrotomy, osteonecrotic tissue resection, harvesting of cylindrical mosaic osteochondral graft from low weightbared region of femoral knee joint surface and its implantation into resection cave of the anklebone. The indications to supramalleolar osteotomy for concomitant ankle frontal deformities are grounded. Rigid osteosynthesis and early movements in ankle joint are recommended. Eighteen patients with age from 20 to 58 years old were operated: 8 men and 10 women. In 13 cases (72.3%) the lesion was found in medial edge of talus trochlea, and 5 (27.7%) were lateral lesions. Treatment results of 18 patients evaluated according AOFAS score (H. Kitaoka) improved after operation from (38.2+3.3), to (88.9+3.6) when assessed one year after surgery. Two clinical case reports are presented
