Planting Imagination ran from 2021 to 2023 (during a pandemic recovery period) in Toronto’s Chinatown neighbourhood. It brought together a group of local Chinatown community organizations and University researchers to recruit 60 diverse ‘Chinatown Activators’ (CAs) and six Community Facilitators (CFs) from across the community. CFs and Cas used virtual reality (VR) technology to co-design a local community garden and develop new visions for the future of Chinatown. Using cutting-edge VR visioning and the principles of the Collaborative Community Engagement Model (CCEM) co-design, the Chinatown community was provided with a platform to virtually envision the future of their own community and neighbourhood as a collaborative process. In doing so, they explored how we might transform the way we build and mobilize communities, (re)construct communityidentities, and strengthen the community’s resilience to promote social justice and equity. This process strengthened community solidarity to enable local residents to more readily steward the future of the built environment and respond collectively to challenging events like the pandemic. Bringing together diverse disciplines and practices (including architecture, cultural psychiatry, interior design, immersive technology, computer science and public health), Planting Imagination developed models of therapeutic VR co-creation delivered through a series of online and in-person multi- lingual community co-design and co-fabrication sessions that prioritized the communities and neighbourhoods disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

On smoothness conditions and selection of the edge of a scattering surface in one class of 3D time-optimal problems
Authors: Lebedev P.D. , Uspenskii A.A.
Published: May 2024

A class of time-optimal problems in three-dimensional space with a spherical velocity vectogram is considered. The target set is a parametrically defined smooth curve. Numerical and analytical approaches to constructing the bisector of the target set — the scattering surface — in the time-optimal problem are proposed. The algorithms are based on formulas for the edge points of the scattering surface, written in terms of curve invariants. It is shown that these points form the edge of the bisector and lie at the centers of the touching spheres to the curve. A theorem on sufficient conditions for the smoothness of a scattering surface is proven. The equations of the tangent plane to the bisector are found for those points from which exactly two optimal trajectories emerge. An example of solving a time-optimal problem in the form of a set of level surfaces of the optimal result function is given, highlighting the surface of their non-smoothness.
The Séance of Reading: Uncanny Designs in Modernist Writing, Thomas J. Cousineau
Authors: Mandici Mădălina Elena
Published: May 2024

‟The Séance of Reading: Uncanny Designs in Modernist Writing” (2023), a book arising out of Thomas J. Cousineau’s long and fruitful teaching experience and his extensive engagements in Romanian academia as a Fulbright scholar, entices readers to appreciate key canonical works spanning American and European literature through the lens of the Romanian ballad ‟The Legend of Master Manole” and Mircea Eliade’s view of mythical creation by sacrifice. The aesthetic myth of master-builder Manole lends magnitude and resonance to nine modernist texts set in harmonious juxtaposition for the purpose of revealing and restoring the sacrificed textual elements within. Most valuably, the author makes the reader register the intricate relationship between the sacrificed protagonist and the architectural body of the literary monuments discussed throughout his book, which successfully brings together different literary genres, capitalizing on the scenario of death and ontological rebirth.
King Oscar II of Sweden and his connections with the Romanian freemasonry
Authors: Varga Attila Carol
Published: May 2024

The present analysis represents a novel approach to the issue of Romanian-Swedish bilateral relations in the second half of the 19th century. This time, the focus is on the dimension of contacts between Romanian and Swedish Freemasonry. This was conducted in the second half of the 19th century by King Oscar II himself. In 1885 he made an official visit to Bucharest with Queen Sofia. On this occasion, he was made an honorary member of the Grand National Lodge of Romania (M.L.N.R.). Far from being merely a protocol award, it held a special significance. This visit underlined the desire of Constantin Moroiu, Grand Master of the Grand National Lodge of Romania, to gain international recognition for this Romanian Masonic powerIt was a very turbulent period in the history of Romanian Freemasonry, marked by a series of interventions by the Grand Orient of Italy in its internal affairs. With the award of this distinction, Romanian Freemasons sought to strengthen their internal unity through external recognition from all Masonic powers. To this end, the help of the Grand Lodge of Sweden was essential. The desire to consolidate the unity of Romanian Freemasonry was a natural reality, given the fact that Romania was proclaimed a Kingdom in 1881 and became a base of stability in this part of the continent.
The journey to the end of the world under the sign of reconciliation with oneself and the world
Authors: Chiciudean Gabriela
Published: May 2024

The novella Cînd Nu mai ai pe Cine să Îmbrățișezi [When you have no one to hug], by Răzvan Brudiu, offers a wild and isolated image of a hamlet in the Apuseni Mountains, where old Joseph lives in solitude, strengthened by the power of faith, waiting for the last road to eternity. In the volume we can identify a dialogical construction on the waiting theme, under the sign of silence. If Joseph speaks, it is to banish loneliness, as rarely does anyone cross his threshold, so that in the narrative ego his words and gestures provoke deep meditations on existence. The profile of the central hero is gradually built up through simplicity, modesty, and natural gestures, contrasting with the erudition of the theologian who constantly feels the need to refer to various passages in the Bible, to church events and services, to quotations from the writings of saints or famous writers, etc. Two different worlds emerge from the dialogue between the two protagonists, that of the city, where life is full of daily hassles and worries, where people judge things with a ‘correct’ mind, and the world of old Joseph, for whom time has already become ‘eternity’. These worlds, symbolically confronted, generate meaningful images. The 90-year-old man serenely looks towards death, aware that he does not have much more to expect from life and wishing to be reunited with his wife. He leads a simple life, but his prayer, uttered without worrying about tomorrow, generates in his heart love and longing for the Creator. For him, the end of the world is, in fact, the meeting with God, and everything he does since his wife’s death is a preparation for reaching the final goal, thus becoming an example for everyone who believes in eternal life.

Authors:   National Transport University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Onyshchenko Artur , Mirchuk Iryna ,   National Transport University, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: May 2024

Introduction. The pavement on reinforced concrete road bridges is one of the main structural elements of the structure, the technical condition of which affects the safety of the structure as a whole. The durability of the asphalt pavement is influenced by a number of factors, including the type of construction of the designed pavement, including the waterproofing coating, as well as the resistance of the structure to climatic factors and the effects of traffic. Problemstatement. Most of the highway bridges were built in the 60s and 80s of the 20th century. The artificial structures were designed in accordance with the regulations and technical specifications in force at the time, taking into account the prospects for the development of transport infrastructure and calculating the estimated traffic intensity of up to 20 thousand vehicles per day. However, over the last decade, the intensity and speed of road traffic has increased significantly, as well as the movement of heavy vehicles (mostly uncontrolled), especially in summer, when the air temperature fluctuates above +28 °C. In turn, this leads to excessive load on the bridge deck structures, including the asphalt pavement, which leads to its destruction (formation of cracks, potholes, sagging, rutting and other damage). Results. A technological scheme for the construction of a pavement with increased durability on reinforced concrete road bridges is presented.

MEDICAL STUDENTS' AND RESIDENTS' PERCEPTION OF A VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING MODULE ON URETHRAL CATHETERIZATION: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Chinnaswami Adith , Gazder Sarah
Published: May 2024

Urethral catheterization is a core competency for medical professionals, with improper catheterization leading to
several adverse outcomes for patients. Research suggests that a significant number of these complications occur when
the procedure is carried out by inexperienced young professionals, owing to the inadequate training received using
conventional training methods during their medical education. Thus, this pilot study aimed to explore medical students'
and residents' perspectives on using VR-based training for urethral catheterization. Across a 10-week period, 20
participants (11 final-year medical students and nine first-year residents) underwent training with a VR-based Urethral
Catheterization module. Subsequently, a survey assessed their acceptance, perceived usability, and perceived impact of
this training modality. The findings highlighted the positive perception among medical students and residents
regarding VR's efficacy in enhancing medical skills, particularly in learning urethral catheterization. Notably, a
significant portion of participants found VR training to be similar to using mannequins but rated it superior in various
aspects. This comprehensive training approach for budding medical professionals using VR could potentially reduce
the incidence of complications and injuries associated with urethral catheterization. Furthermore, the study sheds light
on the potential of VR in skill development within the realm of urology.

Authors: Dave Rushang , Goswami Parth , Singh Gyanendra , Belani Vaishali
Published: May 2024

POLE ultramutated endometrial carcinoma is characterized by a unique genetic profile with a high mutation burden due
to alterations in the polymerase epsilon (POLE) gene.This review explores the distinctive clinicopathological features,
prognosis, and therapeutic implications of this rare subset of endometrial cancer. POLE mutations confer a
hypermutated state that may enhance immunogenicity and improve patient outcomes compared to other endometrial
carcinoma variants. This type of carcinoma typically shows favorable prognostic factors, including reduced rates of
myometrial invasion and lymphovascular space involvement, leading to better overall survival and disease-specific
outcomes. The review also discusses the potential for targeted immunotherapeutic strategies, leveraging the high
mutational load to improve response rates to treatment.Future challenges include the need for precise diagnostic tools
to identify POLE mutation status accurately and the exploration of novel therapeutic avenues that could further enhance
the management of patients with this promising yet challenging form of endometrial carcinoma.

Authors: Devraj Indira Mysore , Singh Samredhi
Published: May 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM), is a metabolic disorder occurring when there is decreased production of insulin hormone or if there is poor body response to it. Type 1 DM is most common in children and adolescents and has a strong impact on their lifestyle. Conflicting evidence is available in the scientific literature on caries prevalence in children with diabetes and healthy children. Many studies have also reported higher plaque accumulation with greater gingival index scores in children with diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus plays a very noteworthy role in oral complications and therefore it becomes important for health practitioners to take good care of these children’s general and oral hygiene.
Linguistic Contact and Tracing Persian Construction onto Khuzestani Arabic Structures
Authors: Suzani Samad Mirza , Zakerin Shohreh
Published: May 2024

Unlike other dialects of Arabic, Khuzestani vernacular Arabic seems to have attracted little attention within the linguistic community. In this vein, the present study aims to present some evidence to show that matter replication of Persian material is mostly found in Khuzestani vernacular Arabic and thus linguistic contact and grammatical borrowing is most often mapped from Persian onto Khuzestani Arabic. Replication of Persian material primarily occurs in the domain of lexical vocabulary, and partly in grammatical vocabulary. Also, pattern replication is notable in the emerging change of constraints on word order, the favoring of analytic constructions and emergence of a new analytic past tense, and the reduction of overt marking of definiteness. In addition, the most remarkable contact-induced change in the dialect is the identification of Khuzestani Arabic grammatical morphemes in attributive constructions – the Construct State marker and the definite article that appears between head and attribute – with the Persian attributive particle, and the consequent merger of two historically distinct attributive constructions – adjectival and nominal – into a single type, which replicates the state of affairs in Persian.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of hypertension in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which was conducted in the Department of Medicine, 250 Beded Mohammad Ali Hospital, Bogura, Bangladesh during the period from January to December 2023. In total 100 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus attended to the mentioned hospital with proper documents were finalized as the study people. Besides data regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus, data of blood pressure and macro-vascular as well as micro-vascular complications were collected. A predesigned questioner was applied to collect patient data. All data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by MS Office and SPSS version 20. Results: In this study, a total of 100 type-2 diabetic patients (56 male, 44 female) were observed. The mean age of the patients was 53.86 years with Standard deviation (SD) of ±11.54 years. The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 7.08 SD ± 5.95 years. In analyzing the duration of type 2 diabetes among participant we observed 46%, 25%, 18% and 11 % participants suffered from T2DM for 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and >15 years respectively. Finally, among total participants in analyzing the prevalence of hypertension we observed out of 100patients with T2DM only 32 were with hypertension which was 32%. On the other hand, in analyzing the stages of hypertension among total participants we found, 32% were with normal and pre-hypertension (in total 68%) respectively. On the other hand, among 32% hypertensive participants, 20% (n=20) were with stage I HTN whereas 12% (n=12) were with stage II HTN. Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of hypertension among type 2 diabetes patients was found some higher than that in normal. But if we consider the number of pre-hypertensive patients as a potential concern, then it is alarming. The findings of this study may be helpful in the treatment arena of diabetes and in similar further studies.

Introduction: The relationship between parity and pregnancy complications continues to arouse interest for obstetricians. Objective: To study childbirth among primiparous versus multiparous women in the gynecology and obstetrics department of the Kati reference health center. Method: We carried out a comparative, cross-sectional retrospective collection study covering primiparous and multiparous women over a period of 12 months (from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) in the gynecology and obstetrics department of the health center. Reference “Major Moussa DIAKITE” from Kati. Results: out of a total of 3050 deliveries, primiparous women represented 12.8% and multiparous women 11.4%. The average age for primiparous women was 18.9 years with the extremes ranging from 15 years to 30 years and for multiparous women 29.3 years with the extremes ranging from 20 years to 45 years. They were almost completely married (primiparous 89.9% and multiparous 100%) and housewives (primiparous 65.0%; multiparous 87.7%), not in school (primiparous 63.0% and multiparous 74.5%). The total duration of labor was between 06-08 hours (primiparous 83% and multiparous 79.1%). The delivery was carried out vaginally (primiparous 87.8% and multiparous 79.1%). The APGAR score at the 1st minute was good (primiparous 89.8% and multiparous 93.4%). The complications found were dominated in first-time mothers by severe anemia (45.8%), and high blood pressure (47.9%). While in multiparous women they were severe anemia (45.8%), high blood pressure (41.7%) and postpartum hemorrhage (12.5%). We recorded no maternal deaths in either group. Conclusion: the maternal and perinatal prognosis of childbirth in primiparous women was almost similar to multiparous women. He was generally good in both groups.

O Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC) foi um avanço na lei que cria as Unidades de Conservação (UC) no Brasil. No entanto, muitas das UCs são criadas e não possuem planos de manejo e zoneamento, instrumentos de gestão imprescindíveis para sua efetivação. A Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) do Cariri, localizado no Estado da Paraíba, é um dos exemplos de UCs que foram criadas, mas não avançaram com relação à efetivação. O objetivo do artigo é propor um zoneamento da APA do Cariri com base em duas metodologias usadas em escala nacional – IBAMA (2001) – e estadual – SUDEMA (2017). Para o mapeamento do zoneamento foi utilizada a imagem de alta resolução adquirida pelos satélites WorldView-2 e 3 com resolução espacial de 70 cm. A maior área da APA deve ser destinada à Zona de Conservação em que são permitidos usos moderados e sustentáveis dos recursos naturais. Em seguida ocorrem as Zonas de Proteção e de Manejo.

This project sets the stage for implementing a cone penetration testing (CPT) practice in the state of Illinois, providing recommendations for using and interpreting CPT soundings in subsurface investigations. This study also contributes to modernizing Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) policy to current CPT-related practices adopted in other departments of transportation, which is consistent with recommendations from the Federal Highway Administration. Toward the goals of this project, CPT soundings across the nine districts of the state of Illinois have been conducted, and available CPT data at IDOT have been evaluated. The generated data have been uniformly processed, generating a database of 156 CPTs distributed across the nine districts. The database also includes shear wave velocity profiles at 28 locations and pore pressure dissipation tests at 45 locations. In addition, information (editable and non-editable) provided by IDOT has been carefully examined. The provided information consisted of boreholes with standard penetration test (SPT) data and laboratory tests on collected Shelby tubes. This information has been used to develop SPT-CPT correlations that can be applied in the state of Illinois and to provide examples of interpreting seismic piezocone test (SCPTu) data in the context of laboratory testing. Due to the several independent, fast, and reliable measurements that can be conducted in a CPT sounding and the fact that they can be done cost-effectively, CPT soundings are increasingly being preferred for in situ testing, and their adoption at IDOT is a positive step forward and consistent with the best practices at other U.S. departments of transportation.
