Authors: Kiseleva T. N. , Baeva A. V. , Eliseeva E. K. , Lugovkina K. V.
Published: March 2024

The review presents literature data about the anatomical structure, morphology and structural features of the optic nerve (ON). Four ON regions are detailed: intraocular, intraorbital, intracanalicular and intracranial. Specifically, the features of the intraocular region are outlined. It is divided into three zones: the surface nerve fiber layer, the prelaminar part and the lamina cribrosa of the sclera, which differ in histological structure and blood supply. The data on the coats of the intraorbital part include the details of the hard (dura mater), arachnoid and the soft (pia mater) coats. Other data represent the morphological structures of the intracanalicular and the intracranial parts of the ON. The distinctive features of blood supply in different ON regions are discussed.

The information about the anatomical characteristics and structural features of the ON is important for studying the pathogenesis of the optic nerve´s damage.
Modern trends in the treatment of glaucoma
Authors: Petrov S. Yu. , Yakubova L. V. , Markelova O. I.
Published: March 2024

In nearly all Russian regions, glaucoma ranks first among the causes of disability due to ophthalmic pathology, which is in line with global trends of glaucoma incidence growth and its leading position among the causes of irreversible blindness. Treatment of glaucoma is aimed at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). This review presents the main current trends in the treatment of glaucoma: drug therapy, laser surgery, fistulizing, drainage and non-penetrating surgery, as well as the latest micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).

Currently, the pharmaceutical market offers many antihypertensive drops. Fixed-dose combinations of drugs have been proposed to increase treatment adherence, and effective drug delivery methods are being developed, which lower IOP with minimal side effects. Further development of laser surgery makes it both a method of choice for the initial treatment (selective laser trabeculoplasty) and expands its capabilities for various stages of glaucoma (micropulse cyclophotocoagulation). All this significantly reduces the frequency of classical macroinvasive antiglaucoma operations. The previously existing gap between conservative medical therapy and antiglaucoma surgery is filled by the newest MIHG procedures. In recent years, at all stages of primary open-angle glaucoma therapy, the emergence of new pharmaceuticals, methods and implants has been noted. These constitute the purpose of this publication.

Published: March 2024

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is one of the leading causes of primary vision disability, while the majority of RRD patients with RRD are people of active working age. Over the past 50 years, retinal detachment surgery has been progressing rapidly, the rate of success increasing up to 90% or higher. However, the reduction of reoperation risks of reoperations, improvement of functional outcomes and increase of postoperative visual acuity remain topical issues. The main reason for repeated surgical interventions is the proliferative vitreoretinopathy progression, which can lead to epiretinal fibrosis, macular oedema, or retinal detachment recurrence. The review is focused on current literature studies that report the results of internal limiting membrane peeling in cases of RRD surgeries and other optional techniques aimed at reducing the risk of the above mentioned postoperative complications.

Published: March 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health problem, with approximately one third having signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR). In such patients, cataracts develop at an earlier age and 2–5 times more frequently. The incidence of macular edema (ME) after phacoemulsification of cataracts (FEC) in patients with diabetes has been shown to increase by 1.80 times and, in the presence of DR by 6.23. The critical period for retinal deterioration is 2 months after FEC, which requires an active therapy and monitoring. For patients with pre-existing diabetic macular edema (DME), If the cataract does not affect daily activities of patients with a pre-existing DME and the optical clarity is adequate, it is preferable to postpone surgical treatment in order to maximize retinal stabilization on OCT at two consecutive visits with a month’s interval between. In the case of severe impairment of lens transparency, FEC with an intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF 28 days or steroids 1 month before surgery under strict monitoring of the retinal condition using OCT is recommended. If macular changes are absent and there is a risk of developing DME, the use of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs is necessary. Prophylactic intravitreal therapy is unacceptable in the absence of MO.

Published: March 2024

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) ranks first in the structure of hereditary retinal diseases. Vasoconstriction is one of the main ophthalmoscopic indications of PR. Laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) is a new non-invasive method that allows quantitative assessment of blood flow in the posterior pole of the eye.

Purpose: to evaluate changes in blood flow as determined by the LSFG method in the area of the optic nerve head (ONH) and the macular area in PR patients.

Material and methods. The study included 16 patients with PR aged 25 to 70 years. The control group consisted of 40 healthy volunteers, comparable in gender and age. Blood flow was determined using an LSFG-RetFlow device (Nidek), the main indicator of blood flow determined was MBR (Mean Blur Rate), which was measured for the entire study area, as well as separately for large vessels, and for the microvasculature. A wide range of pulse wave parameters determined by the tool instrument was also analyzed.

Results. This study revealed a significant decrease in blood flow in PR patients compared with healthy individuals in different age groups and at different stages of the disease (p d 0.05). In patients with low visual acuity, the deficit of blood flow in the macular area was found to be more pronounced.

Conclusion. LSFG is an effective method for determining ocular blood flow in PR patients. The data may indicate that a decrease in blood flow is an independent pathogenetic factor in the development of PD. In the future, the method can be used to assess the effectiveness of therapy of patients with PR.

Published: March 2024

Purpose: to assess the functional state of the eyes in age-related macular degeneration depending on the AREDS classification stage.

Material and methods. A clinical study of 60 patients (120 eyes) with the dry AMD form, aged 55.1 ± 4.2 years, involved 30 patients (60 eyes) aged 52.7 ± 3.9 years with AREDS 2 category (initial AMD stage, group1) and 30 patients (60 eyes) aged 57.9 ± 7.8 years with AREDS 3 category (intermediate AMD stage, group 2). The complex research involved visual acuity measurement, including the assessment of near vision in various illumination conditions according to the authors’ methodology, fluorescein angiography, refractometry, tonometry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultrasound duplex scanning of the eye; and an immunological study aimed at determining interleukins and interferons in blood serum.

Results. Visual acuity was found to depend on test illumination in healthy subjects and to substantially drop at all illumination levels in AMD, especially in the 3rd stage. With the development of AMD, the activity of the immune response was recorded.

The patients of groups 1 and 2 showed an increase in the inflammatory response and a depression of the anti-inflammatory response. In group 1, an increase was recorded in IL-I by 23.5% (p < 0.05), in IL5 by 25.4% (p < 0.05), and in IL8 by 19.9% (p < 0.05). In group 2, the value of these parameters exceeded the norm by 32.1, 39.5 and 25.4% (p < 0.05), respectively. The parameters of anti-inflammatory immunity (IL10 and TGF l) were lower than the reference level by 18.3 and 24.6% (p < 0.05) of patients of group 1 and by 24.3 and 30.75 (p < 0.05) of group 2. It was established that the degree of imbalance of the immune system is associated with the stage of AREDS. In group 2 patients with AREDS 3, the content of pro-inflammatory interleukins exceeded those of group 1: IL-I by 12.5% (p < 0.05), IL5 by 11.9% (p < 0.05), IL8 by 11, 2% (p < 0.05). IL10 and TGF l in group 2 were lower than in group 1 by 10.2 and 11.8% (p < 0.05).

Conclusion. Near visual acuity measurement depending on test illumination may be used as a sensitive diagnostic test in AMD in patients. At an early stage of AMD development, a disorder in the immune defense is observed, taking the form of activation of the pro-inflammatory spectrum and depression of the anti-inflammatory component, as well as microcirculatory changes Homeostatic changes of the eye appear at an early stage of the disease and are progressing as the clinical picture is deteriorating. The changes are the greatest at patients with stage 3 of AREDS.

Program Adaptations of Special Education Teachers
Authors: Koç Sümeyye
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Arrangements are made in the curriculum elements due to the individual differences of students with special needs. It is necessary to determine how programs implemented in special education classrooms are adapted by teachers for program functionality. The purpose of this study is to determine special education teachers' patterns of how and in what ways they adapt their curriculum during implementation.
Method: This study, which was conducted to determine the curriculum adaptation by special education teachers and the factors that cause this adaptation, used a case study design from the qualitative research approach. The sample of this study consisted of four special education teachers: two working at the secondary level of a public school and two working at a special education and rehabilitation center. In this study, data diversification was used by employing more than one data collection instrument. These included observations, interviews, and special education lesson plans. As the data needed to be examined and analyzed in detail, content analysis was used.
Findings: The observations, interviews, and document reviews revealed that teachers working in special education classrooms in public and private institutions make program adaptations such as omitting, expanding, and replacing/revising. Teacher qualifications, student characteristics, school climate, program characteristics, and family expectations played a substantial role in shaping the emergence of adaptation patterns.
Discussion: Based on the results, it was found that special education teachers did not implement the written (official) program exactly in their schools and classes. It was found that the student's area and level of disability was the most important reason for the difference. The differences in the areas and degrees of disability of students with special needs in public schools and private institutions shape adaptations for expansion and revising.
Effect of Wine and Grape Spirits from Table Grape Varieties on Sensory Profile of Grape Beverages
Authors: Sheludko Olga , Prakh Anton , Chemisova Larisa , Bakhmetov Roman
Published: March 2024

Table grapes that have lost their marketable appearance are considered waste products. However, such grapes still possess some technological properties that make it possible to use them as a raw material for wine and grape spirits. This research featured the effect of the composition and technology of table grape alcohols on the volatile compounds and sensory profile

of grape beverages.

The study involved six white and six red grape beverages. In the test samples, the fermentation process was stopped by adding wine spirits and grape spirits obtained by rectification of distillates from table grapes. In the control samples, the procedure involved rectified grain alcohol. The physicochemical parameters of drinks and spirits were defined by standard methods. The highly volatile compounds were determined by gas chromatography. The sensory assessment was conducted by panelists from the Winemaking Research Center of the North-Caucasian Federal Scientific Center of Horticulture, Viticulture, and Winemaking.

In this study, the wine spirits and the grape spirits obtained from table grapes had no effect on the standard indicators, e.g., volatile acids and acetoin. However, they increased the mass concentrations of highly volatile compounds in the following manner: drinks with grain alcohol ˂ drinks with wine alcohol ˂ drinks with grape alcohol. The content of acetaldehyde increased by 10–14% while the contents of ethyl acetate, esters, and higher alcohols increased by 25–35, 4.5–8.5, and 15%, respectively. The furfural content increased by 0.4–1.4 mg/L in the samples with grape alcohol. The samples with white grape varieties acquired a more prominent floral-honey flavor whereas those with black grapes acquired hints of hazelnut and honey.

As a result of the study, it was found that wine alcohol and grape alcohol moderately increased the content of volatile compounds in drinks and had a positive effect on their sensory perception, which proves the expediency of their use in beverage technology.

Published: March 2024

Cherries (Prunus avium L.) are valued for their taste and nutritional properties. However, they are highly perishable. A low-temperature preservation technology can preserve cherries without spoiling their beneficial properties. This research experimentally substantiated the optimal methods and modes of freezing cherries, defined their refrigerated shelf-life, and identified varieties for low-temperature preservation.

The study featured cherries of eight varieties grown in the northern foothills of Dagestan. Fresh cherries served as control. Some cherries were frozen by immersion in a liquid solution of water, alcohol, and sugar (65:20:15) at –24°C. Others were frozen in bulk in air at –30, –33, and –35°C to be stored at –22°C for 3, 9, and 12 months. The nutritional profile was determined by standard methods of chemical analysis. The amount of juice lost during defrosting was assessed by the difference in weight before and after defrosting. The sensory evaluation involved a five-point scale.

The best nutritional profile belonged to the sample frozen in air at –35°C while the worst result was observed in the cherries frozen at –30°C. The cherries frozen in bulk in air at –33°C and those immersed in liquid coolant at –24°C demonstrated a poorer nutritional content (by 4.2–5.4%) than the sample frozen in air at –35°C. The sample frozen in air preserved 77.5–81.6% vitamin C, 83.7–89.0% pectin substances, 85.1–88.5% anthocyanins, and 81.4–86.4% sugar after 12 months of storage at –22°C. The sample frozen in liquid coolant retained 75.9–79.0% vitamin C, 84.4–88.2% pectin substances, 83.8–87.5% anthocyanins, and 80.3–84.7% sugar after 12 months of storage. The cherries of the Lezginka, Dagestanka, and Valery Chkalov varieties showed minimal changes after 12 months. The varieties of Buynakskaya, Krupnoplodnaya, and Polyanka could be recommended for nine-month storage. The varieties of Zhemchuzhnaya and Gudzon lost consumer attractiveness as early as after 3 months.

When frozen in bulk in air at –33°C and immersed in liquid coolant at –24°C, the cherries preserved their physicochemical properties after 3, 9, and 12 months of storage at –22°C. The study expanded the existing data about low-temperature preservation of cherries and their health benefits.

Published: March 2024

The fluctuating, dynamic and unpredictable development of the work setting Emphasizes the significance of career planning. However, there is still no measurement tool for planning skills based on career construction theory. The objective of this research is to develop and validate an inventory that can measure the level of students' career planning skills based on career construction theory. This research used the ADDIE research design with five development stages including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The resulting items amounted to 29 statement items developed from three indicators that are crystallization of vocational preferences, specification of occupational choice and actualization of occupational choice. 112 vocational students were involved in the process of analyzing the instrument validity and reliability. The results of the analysis with the Pearson Product Moment Correlation test resulted in an r-count value above 0.5 with an r-table of 0.195 so that the instrument has high validity. The reliability test with Cronbach's Alpha resulted in a value of 0.972 so that the instrument is highly reliable. Exploratory factor analysis also resulted in the finding that the inventory items developed were formed by three factors namely crystallization of vocational preferences, specification of occupational choices, and actualization of occupational choices.

O artigo analisa as políticas de internacionalização da pós-graduação com foco no Programa Institucional de Internacionalização – Programa CAPES-PrInt. Tem como pressuposto que o Programa é uma estratégia de indução da Capes, em um contexto de políticas de ajuste fiscal e de aproximação de algumas universidades brasileiras ao conceito de Universidade de Classe Mundial, difundido ela OMC e Banco Mundial. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório no qual se realizou os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: revisão bibliográfica; análise de documentos pertinentes à criação do Programa Capes Print; e dados referentes às bolsas concedidas e aos recursos investidos nos anos de 2018 e 2022. O estudo conclui que o Programa Print é altamente seletivo; beneficia os Programas mais bem-conceituados do Sistema Nacional de Pós-graduação do país, aumentando, cada vez mais, as assimetrias regionais. Não atende, portanto, às demandas de internacionalização da pós-graduação brasileira no seu conjunto.
Digital Health Interventions in Older Adult Populations Living With Chronic Disease in High-Income Countries: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Ashraf Mir Nabila , Gallant Natasha L , Bradley Cara
Published: March 2024

Background

Globally, around 80% percent of adults aged 65 years or older are living with at least 1 chronic disease, and 68% percent have 2 or more chronic diseases. Older adults living with chronic diseases require greater health care services, but these health care services are not always easily accessible. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented changes in the provision of health care services for older adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health interventions for chronic disease management were developed out of necessity, but the evidence regarding these and developed interventions is lacking.

Objective

In this scoping review, we aim to identify available digital health interventions such as emails, text messages, voice messages, telephone calls, video calls, mobile apps, and web-based platforms for chronic disease management for older adults in high-income countries.

Methods

We will follow the Arksey and O’Malley framework to conduct the scoping review. Our full search strategy was developed following a preliminary search on MEDLINE. We will include studies where older adults are at least 65 years of age, living with at least 1 chronic disease (eg, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes), and residing in high-income countries. Digital health interventions will be broadly defined to include emails, text messages, voice messages, telephone calls, video calls, mobile apps, and web-based platforms.

Results

This scoping review is currently ongoing. As of March 2023, our full search strategy has resulted in a total of 9901 records. We completed the screening of titles and abstracts and obtained 442 abstracts for full-text review. We are aiming to complete our full-text review in October 2024, data extraction in November 2024, and data synthesis in December 2024.

Conclusions

This scoping review will generate evidence that will contribute to the further development of digital health interventions for future chronic disease management among older adults in high-income countries. More evidence-based research is needed to better understand the feasibility and limitations associated with the use of digital health interventions for this population. These evidence-based findings can then be disseminated to decision-makers and policy makers in other high-income countries.

A Closer Cooperation between Space and Seismology Communities – a Way to Avoid Errors in Hunting for Earthquake Precursors
Authors: Pilipenko Vyacheslav , Shiokawa K.
Published: March 2024

The space physicists and the earthquake (EQ) prediction community exploit the same instruments – magnetometers, but for different tasks: space physicists try to comprehend the global electrodynamics of near-Earth space on various time scales, whereas the seismic community develops electromagnetic methods of short-term EQ prediction. The lack of deep collaboration between those communities may result sometimes in erroneous conclusions. In this critical review, we demonstrate some incorrect results caused by a neglect of specifics of geomagnetic field evolution during space weather activation. The considered examples comprise: Magnetic storms as a trigger of EQs; ULF waves as a global EQ precursor; Geomagnetic impulses before seismic shocks; Long-period geomagnetic disturbances generated by strong EQs; Discrimination of underground ULF sources by amplitude-phase gradients; Depression of ULF power as a short-term EQ precursor; and Detection of seimogenic emissions by satellites. To verify the reliability of the above widely disseminated results data from available arrays of fluxgate and search-coil magnetometers have been re-analyzed. In all considered events, the “anomalous” geomagnetic field behavior can be explained by global geomagnetic activity, and it is apparently not associated with seismic activity. This critical review does not claim that ULF electromagnetic field cannot be used as a sensitive indicator of the EQ preparation processes, but we suggest that both communities must cooperate their studies more tightly using data exchange, combined usage of magnetometer networks, organization of CDAW for unique events, etc.

Authors: Dhanapal Sujatha , Singh Mamatha , Nagammanavar Uday
Published: March 2024

The production of particleboards from various kinds of ligno cellulosic materials are successful on commercial scale in various parts of the country.  However, much success is not seen in use of crop residues for particleboards. Rice straw and wheat straw are one such materials that are abundantly available in India that can be used to produce particleboard.  The present work investigated the effect of Rice straw particles and wood fibers combination on physical and mechanical properties of the composite board. The pulverized rice straw composite boards were produced with three different composition of rice straw material (100 %, 70 %, 50 %) and wood Fibers (0 %, 30 %, 50 %). Melamine Urea Formaldehyde (MUF), Phenol Cardanol Formaldehyde (PCF), Blocked Isocyanate resin combined with PCF (BPCF), Blocked Isocyanate combined with Urea Melamine Formaldehyde (BUMF) and Blocked Isocyanate combined with PF (BPF) resins were synthesized. The resin system (10%,12%,14%) with requisite additive was admixed with rice straw and wood fibers.  According to the resin system employed, the hot press temperature, specific pressure and curing time were worked out for compression of the boards. The boards were produced with 780 - 850 kg/m3 nominal density and prior to testing, the test specimens were exposed to an atmosphere maintained at a relative humidity of 65 ± 5 percent and at a temperature of 27 ± 2 °C until their masses are nearly constant. The boards made were subjected for evaluation of physical and mechanical properties according to IS 3087.  It was found that the Rice Straw particles with Wood Fibers of 50-50 combination bonded with PCF and also with MUF adhesive of 12 % resin solids confirms  to the requirement of  physical and mechanical properties as per IS 3087 particleboards of wood and other lignocellulosic materials (medium density) for general purposes Specification.  Comparison with resin for hybrid boards of rice straw particles with wood fiber, BPCF has shown excellent properties than BPF and BUMF. The study indicated that increasing the percentage replacement of wood fibers with rice straw particles by more than 50 % decreased the internal bond strength.   It can be concluded that rice straw pulverized particleboard can be successfully made with the combination of 30 % - 50 % wood fibers using PCF resin or BPCF resin.

Sustainable development goals (SDGs) issued by the United Nations (UN) have been recognized as the aims for sustainable development of the global economy and companies around the world. In realizing SDGs, social responsibility accounting (SRA) is gradually proving to be an effective quantification tool to enhance transparency and reliability in the social responsibility reports of companies. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate impact factors on SRA in Vietnamese plastics companies, an environmentally sensitive industry. We used a large-scale survey and collected 160 respondents from plastic manufacturing enterprises in the Hanoi area, Vietnam. It is found that three factors, namely, stakeholder pressure, awareness of business managers, and characteristics of plastic enterprises, have positive impacts on the application of SRA in plastic enterprises. Meanwhile, the environmental cost factor hinders the application of SRA. Thereby, the research makes recommendations for plastic manufacturing enterprises in an emerging country like Vietnam on how to best apply SRA to further the SDGs.
The Sajogyo Development Paradigm and its Relevance for the Development of Coastal Areas in Indonesia
Authors: A Kinseng Rilus
Published: March 2024

Prof. Sajogyo is one of the founders of rural sociology in Indonesia. He concerned himself very intensely with the problems of rural communities, especially rural poverty. In observing the current phenomenon of coastal communities, which are still highly characterized by poverty and social conflict, retracing Prof. Sajogyo’s conception on rural development becomes very important and pertinent. This article was written using a literature review method by exploring the thoughts of Prof. Sajogyo from his writings and from several other relevant writers. The aim of this study is to trace the Sajogyo development paradigm which is relevant to the development of coastal areas in Indonesia. This study shows that “The Sajogyo development paradigm” can be summarized to “equal and civilized welfare”. This means, in terms of content, for Prof. Sajogyo, development means increasing welfare or prosperity (growth dimension), especially for the lower class, the weak, and of course, the poor (equality dimension). Meanwhile, from the aspect of process, various efforts to improve welfare must be carried out in a civilized manner, namely by upholding dialogue, participation, capability, sovereignty, independence, and dignity of the poor and the weak. Thus, the Sajogyo development paradigm is conflict-sensitive and guarantees human security.

Published: March 2024

Studies on transformational leadership have shown to be beneficial for employees and organizations, particularly those with an Islamic foundation. Islamic elements present within Islamic institutions seem to have different viewpoints regarding the numerous implications of transformational leadership. To have a clear understanding of the transformational leadership presence in Islamic-based institutions, it is crucial to compile prior literature. Then will ensure the efficiency on effectiveness of transformational leadership in Islamic-based institutions for future reference. Regrettably, there has yet to be enough research that thoroughly reviews the body of knowledge on transformational leadership implications for employees in Islamic-based institutions. Therefore, a thorough literature assessment on the impact of transformational leadership on employees in Islamic-based institutions was conducted in this project. This study used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) review approach to guarantee that the results were of high quality. Two eminent databases, Scopus and Web of Science, as well as one auxiliary database, Google Scholar, were used to retrieve the articles. Two key topics were found through thematic analysis, including 1) employee performance and effectiveness, and 2) employee ethical behavior. Six sub-themes were then created by combining these two primary themes. This research will add to the body of knowledge currently available in the fields of transformational leadership and practical application in institutions with an Islamic foundation. The following are the study's key contributions: 1) pinpointing the beneficial effects of transformational leadership towards employees in Islamic-based organizations, and 2) formulating recommendations for more research in this area.

Published: March 2024

Molten systems based on alkali metal halides with lithium oxide additives are promising as a working medium on pyrochemical reprocessing of nuclear waste. A mixture of alkali metal fluorides of eutectic composition (FLiNaK) is a suggested solvent due to the high solubility of actinide oxides, low viscosity, high boiling points, low vapor pressure and resistance to radiation damage. Thermal analysis, XRD, Raman spectroscopy and thermodynamic simulations were used to obtain evidences on the phase equilibria and liquidus points of the system (0.85 FLiNaK?0.15 CeF3)?Li2O, containing up to 8.8 mol. % lithium oxide. The solubility of lithium oxide in the fluoride melt FLiNaK? ?CeF3 and the thermodynamic parameters of dissolution were obtained. The eutectic point (the Li2O content is 3.1 mol. %, Tm = 489 ??) and two peritectic points (lithium oxide content are 3.2 and 4.2 mol. %, and liquidus points are 497 and 549 ??, respectively) were found. Thermodynamic simulation results show an exothermic effect due to interaction between lithium oxide and fluoride melt. The interaction product oxyfluoride CeOF was detected by XRD analysis and Raman spectroscopy.
