The study has been carried out at the FSBSI «Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences» on the fields of the Krasnoufimsk Breeding Center in 2019–2021. The purpose was to develop new highly productive varieties of spring bread wheat adapted to the climatic conditions of the Middle Urals using parental forms with high breeding indices in hybridization. There has been given a characteristic of the earlymaturing variety ‘Ekstra’ and middle-early maturing ‘Nitsa’ and their parents, namely, ‘Omskaya 35’ and ‘Iren’, ‘Ekaterina’ and ‘Krasnoufimskaya 100’, according to such breeding indices as Mexican, Canadian, Poltava, attraction, productivity, potential head productivity, intensity, micro-distribution, linear head density, grain filling. There has been shown that the productivity advantage of the variety ‘Ekstra’ over the variety ‘Iren’ was 0.37 t/ha (11.1 %) and over thevariety ‘Omskaya 35’ it was 0.31 t/ha (9.1 %). The variety ‘Ekstra’ has combined the high values of six breeding indices from the middle maturing variety ‘Omskaya 35’ and exceeded both parents in the studied indices. The productivity advantage of the variety ‘Nitsa’ was 0.52 t/ha (19.2 %) over the variety ‘Ekaterina’ and over the variety ‘Krasnoufimskaya 100’ it was 0.40 t/ha (14.2 %). It has combined the high values of four indices from the variety ‘Ekaterina’, six from the variety ‘Krasnoufimskaya 100’ and significantly exceeded the parental varieties according to such indices as Poltava, Mexican, microdistribution, attraction, grain filling, intensity. There has been identified a high positive correlation between grain productivity and attraction indices (r = 0.761) and Mexican (r = 0.864), an average positive correlation between indices of intensity (r = 0.601), potential head productivity (r = 0.507), grain filling (r = 0.333). The results have showed that involving parents with high values of breeding indices into hybridization could contribute to the development of new highly productive varieties of spring wheat.

Authors: Tarchokov Kh. Sh. , Sarbasheva A. I. , Mataeva O. Kh.
Published: December 2022

In 2018–2020 there was studied the efficiency of new herbicides ‘Fenizan’, VR (water solution 360 + 22.2 g/l) and ‘Avroreks’, KE (332 + 21 g/l) at various doses (0.14-0.2 and 0.5–0.6 l/y) against weeds on the sowings of a new winter wheat variety ‘Pamyati Shatilova’ (co-breeding of the Institute of Agriculture of the Kabardino-Balkarsky Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences” and the National Grain Center named after P. P. Lukyanenko) in the conditions of the steppe part of Kabardino-Balkaria. The purpose of the current study was to identify more effective doses of these herbicides with a single application. As a control (without herbicides), there was adopted an agrotechnical method, namely harrowing across the direction of BZSS-1.0 crops in the tillering phase in spring. The soil of the experimental plot was an ordinary (calcareous) blackearth of heavy loamy granulometric composition. The arable (0–20 cm) layer contained 3.0–3.5 % of humus; 100 g of soil contained 1.56–2.87 % of Р2О5 (according to Machigin); 3.61–4.30 mg of K2O (according to Machigin); 6.8–7.0 of pH. The average annual rainfall is 360–400 mm. There was found that in the control variant, the total number of weeds decreased by 26.3 %, while the number of perennials remained unchanged. On variants with the use of herbicides, weediness of crops decreased on 71.1–83.8 %, including the increase of perennials on 52.6–80.7 %. A higher effect was obtained at 0.2 l/ha (73.2 and 60 %) of ‘Phenizan’, VR and 0.6 l/ha (83.8 and 80.7 %) of ‘Avroreks’, KE. By the time of winter wheat harvesting, the least amount of weeds was identified on the variants using these herbicides. The best results in reducing weeds’ amount were obtained from the use of ‘Avroreks’, KE at dosages of 0.5 and 0.6 g/l – 150–175 g/m2 of weeds, the percentage of their death was 88.9–93.6. The indicators of grain yield structure and the average yield for 3 years (46.7 and 47.7 c/ha) on the experimental variants were also in favor of ‘Avroreks’, KE (0.6 g/l). The yield increase in comparison with the standard herbicide ‘2.4-D Zernomaks’, KE was 17.4%, and with the control it was 29.6 %.

Authors: Korchagina I. A. , Yushkevich L. V.
Published: December 2022

Crop infection is a stress factor for plants. The development and spread of fungal phytopathogens (Fusarium, Bipolaris, Alternaria, etc.) of the root system leads to a significant decrease in both quantitative, and qualitative parameters of grain crop productivity. The current paper has presented the data (2011–2018) on the study of subsoil parts of spring wheat plants when they are damaged by root rots of various etiologies, depending on the forecrops, agricultural technology and plant protection products. In the conditions of the Omsk region, the introduction of rapeseed into field crop rotations is justified. The grain crop has a positive effect on improving the phytosanitary condition of the soil and crops. There has been established that the greatest spread of infection on the root system of plants is identified on wheat sown in fallow (35–46 %), the minimum spread after rapeseed (7–16 %). Seeds of bluegrass weeds during protective tillage are concentrated in an uppermost (0–10 cm) soil layer. The increased weed infestation of agrophytocenosis reduces the competitiveness of cultivated plants and, as a result, the population of B. sorokiniana conidia in soil increases, creating unfavorable conditions for spring wheat development, especially during the initial period of growth. The highest crop productivity, regardless of a forecrop, mean for intensification options, was provided by moldboard tillage with 3.02 t/ha (wheat sown in fallow); 2.60 t/ha (wheat sown after wheat) and 2.15 t/ha (wheat sown\ after rapeseed). With a protective tillage, there was grain productivity decrease on 0.20 t/ha (wheat sown in fallow); 0.22 t/ha (wheat sown after wheat) and 0.12 t/ha (wheat sown after rapeseed) t/ha, respectively, in comparison with a moldboard technology. When fertilizing and herbicidal-fungicidal treatment of sowings during a vegetation period of plants, there is a slight difference between agricultural technologies. The complex use of chemicals reduces the infection of agrophytocenosis on 7–11 % and increases spring wheat productivity upto 4.14 t/ha (on 98 %) relative to extensive agricultural technology.

Published: December 2022

The current work was carried out on the experimental plot of the research crop rotation of the laboratory for cultivation technology of row crops of the FSBSI Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”. The soil is represented by ordinary calcareous heavy loamy chernozem with such agrochemical parameters in the soil layer of 0–30 cm as 7.1 pH, 3.3 % of humus content, 18–20 mg/kg of P2O5; 340–370 mg/kg of K2O. The trials were carried out on the early-maturing grain sorghum varieties ‘Zernogradskoye 88’ and ‘Ataman’. The purpose of the current research was to identify the moisture consumption of new grain sorghum varieties, depending on the sowing norms and methods in the southern part of the Rostov region. The year 2018 was arid with 93.4 mm of rainfall. In 2019 there was also a shortage of precipitation, which amounted to 66.9 mm to the long-term average. The weather conditions of 2020 were characterized by the highest amount of precipitation (223.2 mm). The reserves of productive moisture on average over the years of study at the beginning of plant development in terms of sowing rates and methods in a meter-long soil layer were at the level of 111.2–113.9 mm, which is enough to obtain thick seedlings. The smallest amount of moisture was noted by the dead-rape stage and ranged from 6.5 to 20.5 mm for the studied varieties. On average, over the years of study, for all variants of the trial, the variety ‘Ataman’ was more productive, its productivity varied within 3.75–4.83 t/ha. At the same time, this variety formed the highest yield indicators (727 tons) with a row spacing of 0.45 m and a seeding rate of 0.4 million germinating seeds per ha, with the lowest moisture consumption per 1 ton of grain. As for the variety ‘Zernogradskoe 88’, the lowest moisture consumption was 823 tons at a seeding rate of 0.6 million germinating seeds per ha with a row spacing of 0.45 m.

Enjoyment in the Foreign Language Teaching Environment: Saudi Teachers’ Perspectives
Authors: Al-Dosari Sarah Manssour , Mohsen Mohammed Ali , Curle Samantha
Published: December 2022

Introduction. Positive emotions are crucial for facilitating the learning process in foreign language (FL) classes. It has been well established that the emotion of enjoyment highly influences students and teachers in language learning environments and plays a key role in motivation. Goals. The first objective of this study was to investigate the foreign language enjoyment (FLE) levels of FL teachers in Saudi Arabia. The second objective was to investigate the level of enjoyment felt by these teachers when they were FL students. Third, gender differences with regard to the level of enjoyment were studied. Finally, the sources of enjoyment were explored. Thirty-six teachers from different educational institutions in Saudi Arabia were surveyed. Results. The results demonstrated that the participants experienced high levels of enjoyment when teaching FL classes; however, their enjoyment levels were significantly higher when they were FL students. A positive atmosphere at the workplace, students’ excitement about language learning, and the joy of passing knowledge to others served as sources of enjoyment among the FL teachers. In terms of their experiences as FL students, FLE stemmed from their own FL teachers’ attitudes as well as the process of learning a language applicable to real daily life. Gender was found to be only a mediator, not a predictor, of participants’ enjoyment as there were no statistically significant differences between male and female teachers. Conclusions. Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn based on the study. First, teachers must promote positive classroom environments by perfecting their general attitudes as much as possible to enhance the feeling of enjoyment among learners. This, in turn, will make the FL learning journey effortless and help students reach their learning goals and objectives. Furthermore, in pre-course sessions, a brief introduction that clarifies the importance of English as a foreign language is highly recommended. This will help students recognise the possible outcomes of their learning and enable them to enjoy their experiences of learning EFL. Second, institutions – i.e. schools and universities – that offer opportunities to teach EFL should provide positive working environments for their FL teachers. Institutions must also draw teachers’ attention to their role as vital knowledge resources for their students.
A AUDIÊNCIA DO ART. 334 DO CÓDIGO DE PROCESSO CIVIL COMO FORMA DE AUTOCOMPOSIÇÃO E ACESSO À JUSTIÇA NAS AÇÕES AMBIENTAIS

Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem o condão de discutir a possibilidade de realização da audiência de conciliação e mediação do art. 334 do Código de Processo Civil brasileiro nas ações de interesse transindividuais que dizem respeito à proteção do meio ambiente. O dispositivo legal veio para inovar as normas processuais vigentes objetivando dar maior celeridade e economia processuais em consonância com a Constituição Federal de 1988. Sabendo-se que a ofensa a bens jurídicos de tal importância pode gerar danos irreparáveis, preveni-los ou remedia-los com ações concretas de autocomposição pode consistir em melhor solução para determinadas situações, especialmente as caracterizadas pela emergência na tomada de decisões. O dano ambiental pode ser obstado pela celebração do Termo de Ajuste de Conduta extrajudicial regulamentado pela Lei nº 7.347 de 24 de julho de 1985 evitando-se a judicialização. Com o mesmo efeito, ajuizada a ação civil pública ambiental a designação da audiência do art. 334 do CPC pode conduzir ao mesmo resultado e dar efetividade à proteção do meio ambiente. Negar tal possibilidade seria fomentar o litígio e contrariar toda a sistemática processual vigente que busca evitar a judicialização, permitindo que as partes através da autocomposição encontrem o caminho adequado para a solução do conflito. A pesquisa doutrinária utilizará o método empírico dialético apontando possíveis soluções para remediar tão pernicioso movimento de ataque ao Princípio ao Acesso à Ordem Jurídica, o qual baliza o Estado de Direito.
UMA PROPOSTA DE REMODELAGEM PARA AS CONCESSÕES ADMINISTRATIVAS DO TRANSPORTE COLETIVO RODOVIÁRIO URBANO DE PASSAGEIROS
Authors: Bevilacqua Maritana Mello , Reck Janriê Rodrigues
Published: December 2022

A presente pesquisa dedica-se a efetuar uma ponderação sobre o serviço público de transporte coletivo urbano e o regime jurídico que lhe é aplicável, tendo em conta que, ao menos no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, a maioria dos dez municípios mais populosos optam pela prestação descentralizada desta atividade, através da concessão a empresas privadas. Estas, a seu turno, na atual conformação que se dá aos contratos administrativos de concessão, em certos aspectos, acabam esgueirando-se do controle social e do ente federado, maculando deveres de moralidade administrativa. Nesse estado de coisas, a pergunta que norteia esse estudo é a seguinte: o regime jurídico de direito público é extensível aos agentes privados que mantenham com o Poder Público contratos de concessão do serviço público de transporte coletivo urbano rodoviário, no que tange aos aspectos que visem assegurar o alinhamento com a moralidade administrativa decorrente do artigo 37 da Constituição Federal de 1988? A hipótese é a de que há deveres decorrentes do regime jurídico de direito público que são aplicáveis aos agentes particulares que prestem tal serviço público, notadamente quando essas condições podem impactar diretamente na melhora do serviço, maior transparência, e ainda no valor a ser cobrado do usuário. A conclusão é a de que a extensão desses deveres de moralidade aos agentes particulares concessionários do serviço público de transporte coletivo urbano é possível e salutar, e se coaduna com as preocupações do Direito Administrativo contemporâneo, razão pela qual acaba se esboçando uma série de diretrizes a serem observadas.

Published: December 2022

Compliance with feed safety in livestock production requires pork producers to add mycotoxin-binding adsorbents to pig diets. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of two complex sorbents added to the diet of fattening pigs on their performance. The experiment included 90 pigs, which were kept in LLC “Tavriyski svyni” in the Kherson region. According to the principle of analogues, experimental animals were divided into three groups of 30 animals each: I – the control group of pigs consumed the basic diet “Grower”, and “Finisher”; pigs of experimental group II consumed the basic diet “Grower”, “Finisher” with the addition of 0.15% by weight of feed of a commercial analogue of mycotoxin adsorbent; animals of experimental group III received the basic diet “Grower”, “Finisher” with the addition of 0.15% by weight of feed of the complex preparation “Hepasorbex”. Animals that consumed feed containing adsorbents of mycotoxins had a higher live body weight, and average daily weight gain, reaching weights of 100 and 120 kg with lower feed conversion earlier compared to analogues of a control group. It was found that the introduction of “Gepasorbex” in the diet of store pigs of experimental group III at a pre-slaughter weight of 100 and 120 kg resulted in an increase in: slaughter yield, half-carcass length, muscle eye area, the weight of the hind third of the half-carcass and a decrease in the thickness of the fat compared to the control group. In terms of chemical composition, the meat of animals of experimental groups, both at slaughter in 100 kg and in 120 kg, met the requirements for pork of normal quality (NORMAL). At a live weight of 100 and 120 kg, pigs of experimental group III had significantly lower moisture content, higher protein, fat and ash content in meat. Due to the complex composition of “Gepasorbex” ingredients, the nutrients in the feed remained and were absorbed by the pig’s body, which is confirmed by higher productivity indicators and significantly reduces the cost of the main expense item of pig farms in pig production technologies – “Feed”. Therefore, this research is useful for specialists in pork production and processing in developing strategies for feeding pigs and obtaining quality raw materials for processing enterprises, which opens up ways to ensure food security in the country

Most of the quality indicators regulated by the standard for seed potato certification are determined by the subjective component, that is, the competence of the personnel. However, the regulatory framework does not establish criteria for assessing competence, which poses uncontrolled risks in the laboratory. The purpose of the study is to develop and investigate the methodology for assessing the competence of laboratory personnel involved in the testing of seed potatoes and determine the extent of application of the methodology. The methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics are used for the tasks of selection and research of statistical criteria that correspond to the law of distribution of the obtained data and provide the necessary reliability for the available sample volumes. The statistics and the method of determining the threshold value, which mathematically describes the decision-making on competence, are provided for the binomial distribution law. The properties of the proposed statistical method for assessing the competence of personnel in terms of finding the maximum differences in the results of the analysis, at which the personnel are recognised as competent, are investigated. The study demonstrates the dependence of the method capacity on the data volume. It is determined that to obtain a confidence probability of 0.95 for quality indicators, the content of which in the average sample according to the technical conditions is minimal, the sample size should be 600-1000 tubers. At the same time, up to 100 tubers are sufficient for indicators whose content is under 5%. The method proposed by the authors showed that the average sample of 250 tubers recommended by the standard is entirely justified in terms of attracting resources during certification but must be adjusted during competence monitoring in a testing laboratory that confirms its competence by the requirements of DSTU ISO IEC 17025:2019. The findings presented can be used by the personnel in the seed testing laboratories as a measure to minimise the risks caused by the impact of personnel incompetence

Published: December 2022

The article defines the relevance of research on options for using heat accumulators in the heat supply system of industrial premises. Typical technological schemes of liquid heat accumulators are considered and shortcomings of existing mathematical models are determined. The technological scheme of a capacitive type battery is selected and analyzed, as the most common in solar heating and hot water systems. It has been established that for a non-stationary process, the thermal inertia of the body reinforcement and thermal insulation cannot be neglected, therefore, the storage tank cannot be considered as a single-capacity object. Based on the analysis of the heat balance of structural elements of heat storage devices, a mathematical model of the dynamics of the accumulator tank as a two-capacity object with lumped parameters is formulated. The resulting simplified mathematical model makes it possible to identify the simulation object (a capacitive type water accumulator). In the considered embodiment, the heat accumulator is used in hot solar water supply systems for preheating water. For use in dual-circuit systems of solar heating and hot water supply, heliolectors with antifreeze are used, and water is heated in heat storage tanks using heat exchangers. The formulated mathematical model of a tank of a combined accumulator with a heat exchanger when used as a liquid heat carrier - antifreeze (to exclude icing of the system), in which, to simplify the model (reduce the order), the heat capacity of the tubes is related to the heat capacity of the heat carrier in the volume of the tubes, and the mass of the body to the mass of liquid in it . For the development and analysis of an automatic temperature control system, the obtained models are a system of nonlinear equations, the solution of which is advisable to carry out in computer environments.
FEATURES OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION CONSTITUTING A STATE SECRET IN UKRAINE AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Authors: YARA OLENA
Published: December 2022

The relevance of the subject is largely conditioned upon the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, which, regretfully, does not exclude cases of criminal offences regarding the disclosure of information constituting a state secret. The purpose of the study is to analyse some aspects of criminal liability for disclosure of state secrets in Ukraine and to identify, based on positive foreign experience, proposals for improving this institution in Ukraine. The research methods were: analysis and synthesis, dialectical, comparative legal, Aristotelian and formal-dogmatic. In the process of analysis, it was identified that at the legislative level in Ukraine, the protection of state secrets is regulated in detail, lists of information that may contain state secrets, and cases when information cannot be a state secret, no matter what. In addition, the Criminal Code of Ukraine defines adverse consequences in the form of criminal sanctions that may occur for persons who disclose information constituting a state secret. It is determined that the analysis of the provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and its correlation with the legal provisions of other regulations, including the study of international legislation, allows concluding that the criminal law provisions defining liability for violation of the state secret protection regime should be transferred to another section. The materials of this study can be used in consideration of the problems of criminal law, in law-making activities in the development of provisions for improving criminal liability for disclosure of information constituting a state secret in Ukraine.

The use of biotechnological reproduction methods is a relevant issue since the embryo transfer, obtained after stimulating superovulation, can accelerate reproduction and improve the number of cattle. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various schemes for stimulating superovulation in cows of the Ukrainian black-pock dairy breed. Therewith, the study analysed the ovarian response to the drug “FSH-Super” under different introduction schemes: Step-up (gradual increase in the dose) and Step-down (gradual dose reduction) and recorded the number of embryos suitable for transplantation. Donor cows were administered the drug “Estrofan” to synchronise the sexual cycle. After 7 days, the drug “Ovarelin” was injected, and after another 7 days, the injection of the drug “Estrofan” was repeated in the same dose. Stimulation of superovulation began on the 10th day of the sexual cycle with the drug “FSH-super” in the form of eight gradually increasing (Step-up) and gradually decreasing (Step-down) doses within 4 days. Artificial insemination was performed 12 and 24 hours after the start of oestrus. During the study, it was discovered that in the group of cows with gradual dose reduction of the drug “FSH-Super”, 83.3% reacted with superovulation, and in the group with the gradual increase – only 71.4%. Therewith, the number of yellow bodies on two ovaries in a donor cow averages 15.6 and 9.2, respectively. An average of 12.4 and 7.8 embryos (Step-down and Step-up) were obtained from the donor, of which 7.8 and 4.2 are suitable for transplantation, respectively. However, in the group of cows with gradually decreasing doses, a higher number of embryos unsuitable for transplantation was obtained – 4.6 and unfertilised oocytes – 2.6, compared with the group of donors with gradually increasing doses, where these indicators are 3.6 and 1.0, respectively. Thus, the use of the drug “FSH-super” to donor cows according to the step-down introduction scheme allows getting more embryos suitable for transplantation. This will allow managing the biotechnological aspects of cattle reproduction and effectively and in a controlled manner accelerate the breeding process in farms of various forms of ownership, fixing the desired genotype in the herd

The relevance of the study subject is due to the need to create effective methods for preventing the poisoning of animals with heavy metals because lead and cadmium are among the environmental pollutants that negatively affect agriculture and are potentially dangerous to animal and human health. The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of the feed additive Butaselmevit-Plus on the antioxidant protection of the rat body under the chronic action of cadmium and lead. Experimental studies were performed on 2 groups of male rats, 6 animals each. In the control and experimental groups, rats were given a 16.6% aqueous solution of lead acetate at a dose of 100 mg/kg (0.6 ml/kg) of body weight and 0.029% aqueous solution of cadmium chloride at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg (6.9 ml/kg) of body weight. In the experimental group, the rats were additionally provided with food containing the feed additive Butaselmevit-Plus in the amount of 0.1 g per 100 g of body weight. Experimental lead-cadmium toxicosis in the blood serum of rats demonstrated a substantial decrease in the indicators of the antioxidant protection system (reduced glutathione – by 38.4%, superoxide dismutase – by 27.6%, catalase – by 22.7%). On the fourteenth day of the experiment, the lowest activity of the antioxidant protection system indicators in the blood of control rats was observed with the combined administration of heavy metals. Under the experimental load of lead and cadmium, the feed additive Butaselmevit-Plus demonstrated antioxidant properties, which is due to its chemical composition (milk thistle, selenium, methionine, and vitamins). The introduction of the feed additive Butaselmevit-Plus to the rats of the experimental group contributed to an increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase in the blood serum by 22.7 and 20.7%, respectively. When providing this feed additive to rats of the experimental group, an increase in the level of reduced glutathione was also identified, which reached its maximum value on the 28th day of the experiment. Thus, the results of the study confirm the effectiveness of using the supplement Butaselmevit-Plus to improve the antioxidant status of animals in conditions of chronic intoxication of the rat body with lead and cadmium. The practical value of the results obtained is to substantiate the feasibility of using the feed additive Butaselmevit-Plus in animal husbandry to prevent the negative impact of heavy metals on the animal body

Published: December 2022

This paper proposes hafnium (IV) oxide (HfO2) as gate oxide material of the nanowire junctionless transistor (NJT) to replace the conventional silicon dioxide (SiO2). Leakage current usually increased due to an increase of tunneling of electronsin SiO2transistor when the thickness oxide (tox) of the gate material is below 2nm. The main advantages of HfO2is high dielectric constant k of 20 to 25 which is almost 6 times than that of SiO2. Similarly, HfO2has an energy band gap of 5.3 to 5.7eV. As a result, low leakage current and short channel effects (SCEs) was experienced. An increased in the gate capacitance of the device leads to improve the performance of the device without affecting the enhanced leakage current. All these was achieved by designing and simulating the device using the SDE tools of Sentaurus TCAD. Electrical characteristics was extracted using the Sdevice tools of the software. The performance was significantly increased to approximately 1010using HfO2material

OBJECTIVE

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an accepted therapy for severe, treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (trOCD). The optimal DBS target location within the anterior limb of the internal capsule, particularly along the anterior-posterior axis, remains elusive. Empirical evidence from several studies in the past decade has suggested that the ideal target lies in the vicinity of the anterior commissure (AC), either just anterior to the AC, above the ventral striatum (VS), or just posterior to the AC, above the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Various methods have been utilized to optimize target selection for trOCD DBS. The authors describe their practice of planning trajectories to both the VS and BNST and adjudicating between them with awake intraoperative valence testing to individualize permanent target selection.

METHODS

Eight patients with trOCD underwent awake DBS with trajectories planned for both VS and BNST targets bilaterally. The authors intraoperatively assessed the acute effects of stimulation on mood, energy, and anxiety and implanted the trajectory with the most reliable positive valence responses and least stimulation-induced side effects. The method of intraoperative target adjudication is described, and the OCD outcome at last follow-up is reported.

RESULTS

The mean patient age at surgery was 41.25 ± 15.1 years, and the mean disease duration was 22.75 ± 10.2 years. The median preoperative Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score was 39 (range 34–40). Two patients had previously undergone capsulotomy, with insufficient response. Seven (44%) of 16 leads were moved to the second target based on intraoperative stimulation findings, 4 of them to avoid strong negative valence effects. Three patients had an asymmetric implant (1 lead in each target). All 8 patients (100%) met full response criteria, and the mean Y-BOCS score reduction across the full cohort was 51.2% ± 12.8%.

CONCLUSIONS

Planning and intraoperatively testing trajectories flanking the AC—superjacent to the VS anteriorly and to the BNST posteriorly—allowed identification of positive valence responses and acute adverse effects. Awake testing helped to select between possible trajectories and identify individually optimized targets in DBS for trOCD.
