Brainstem intraparenchymal schwannoma: A case report and literature review
Authors: Kovalainen Anselmi , Haeren Roel , Paetau Anders , Lehecka Martin
Published: October 2021

Background:

Intracranial intraparenchymal schwannomas (IS) are rare tumors that have mainly been described in case reports. Here, we report on a case of a brainstem IS and included a comprehensive literature review.

Case Description:

A 74-year-old man presented with progressive gait disturbances. CT- and MRI-imaging revealed a contrast-enhancing mass accompanied by a cyst in the dorsolateral pons. Hemangioblastoma was suspected and surgery was advised. During surgery, gross total resection of a non-invasive tumor was performed. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Based on histopathological examination, the intraparenchymal brainstem tumor was diagnosed as schwannoma.

Conclusion:

Our extensive review illustrates that ISs are benign tumors that most often present in relatively young patients. Malignant cases have been described but form an extremely rare entity. Preoperative diagnosis based on radiological features is difficult but should be considered when peritumoral edema, calcifications, and cysts are noted. In benign cases, gross total resection of the lesion is curative. To adequately select this treatment and adjust the surgical strategy accordingly, it is important to include IS in the preoperative differential diagnosis when the abovementioned radiological features are present.

Objective: Type 1-diabetes is increasing among younger age groups and type 1-diabetes has a major impact on daily life of both the children and their families. The aim of the current study was to explore a family and network centered intervention to children with newly diagnosed type-1 diabetes. Home education visits performed by health care professionals were evaluated using focus group interviews. Method: We conducted five focus group interviews with 21 home education attendants and two individual interviews with health care professionals. Employing inductive content analysis. Results: Families of children who have newly been diagnosed with type 1-diabetes struggle to comply with diabetes care and, thus, leaving the children to the care of others is a major concern. Lack of knowledge among members of family and social network, adhere to an anxiety of doing something wrong in relation to diabetes care. Home education visits educate the wider family and social network about diabetes care. Focus group participants and health professionals describe that the education visits constitute a major support for parents in the task of instructing family and social network members. Additionally, family and social network members report that they feel more confident to contribute more to the care of the child with type 1-diabetes. Conclusion: Existing prejudices and lack of knowledge leads to stress and worry among the social network of children with type-1 diabetes. Home education improves knowledge and feeling of confidence concerning diabetes care among family and social network, with the potential to strengthen and maintain close social relations.

Published: October 2021

The presented article deals with the description of the socialization of basic school pupils, i.e. pupils in younger and middle school age, who fulfill the compulsory school attendance in the form of individual education (homeschooling) in the context of the legislation of the Czech Republic. In the context of fulfilling the article aim, we formulated three research questions, which were evaluated using quantitative research in the form of a questionnaire survey. The research confirmed that parents of homeschoolers significantly support their children in participating in organized leisure activities and are actively involved in mediating their child's contact with other children. In the comparison of the examined groups there were no significant differences in how the children perceive their friends, what their favorite activities are or how much time they spend with them. The difference was more noticeable in the parental approach in education, when setting some rules. This article can outline areas that can be further explored in more detail and compared in context. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-SPER-12 Full Text: PDF

THE PASSAGE TO OTHER WORLDS: FROM MORAL EDIFICATION TO COLLAPSE OF ALL VALUES
Authors: Tupan Maria-Ana
Published: October 2021

Is space relevant in a debate over the ethical dimension of a literary work? If we understand it as Foucault[1], Lefebvre[2], Soja[3] or Marc Auger[4] do, it is. In Andre Norton’s The Crossroads of Time[5], many worlds coexist as versions of an original earth, ruined by wars whose memories set agents under cover travelling across in order to defend what had remained of humanity besieged by monsters against a universal murderer, Kmoat Vo Pranj. The characters’ psychic powers depend on their interference with the environment – an idea probably originating with quantum experiments whose results depend on the interference of the measuring equipment with the system. An agent talks about alternative histories in an ecological version which relates individuals’ growth or success to favourable conditions in the world out there, to their or society’s benefit

Sign language translation has been a major challenge in all walks of life. The current society has been more accepting of the specially abled and the government has been actively making policy changes to accommodate and assimilate the specially abled into the society. Every country has made a conscious effort to develop its own syllable set in its native language even though globally used language is American Sign Language (ASL). In this paper a method proposed by the authors for ASL is applied on Thai Sign Language and the working of the ANN model is explored.
Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Provider Selection Using Hybrid Model of SWARA and WASPAS
Authors: AKPINAR Muhammet Enes
Published: October 2021

Increasing competition as a result of globalization forces companies to focus on the core activities they are specialized in and to use outsourcing in areas other than these core activities. Companies seek to outsource their logistics functions partially or completely since this is not in their main field of activity. Thus, companies are faced with the problem of choosing a Third Party Logistics (3PL) service provider that can contribute to their sustainable development and perfectly perform the logistics activities. In this study, the 3PL selection problem of a cable manufacturing company is discussed. The study aims to solve the business problem and to show the applicability of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods in the most appropriate 3PL selection problems. The 3PL selection was made in line with the criteria and alternatives determined by a team of decision-makers working in the relevant department of the company. First of all, the weight value of each criterion was determined by using the SWARA method based on the MCDM method. This method was chosen because it takes group decisions into account and is easy to implement. Afterward, calculations were made according to the criteria levels of each alternative service provider with the WASPAS method. In the study, 12 criteria were determined by the decision-makers. Besides, 5 different 3PL companies were taken into account. According to the results of the study, it was the third 3PL that met the criteria at the most appropriate level.

Background: T he aim of this study was to compare muscle strength and range of motion of the operated and unoperated side and to determine the relationship between the functional status and muscle strength and range of motion in patients with Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) 1–3 years after surgery. Material and methods: 5 0 patients with THA were assessed after surgery in this study. A universal goniometer was used to measure the range of motion (ROM). Muscle strength was measured by a hand-held dynamometer. The patients’ functional status was determined with the Oxford Hip Score. Results: The difference in hip abduction and knee extension muscle strength between operated and unoperated side was statistically significant (p<0.05). Also, there was a difference between the operated and unoperated side in the hip ROM in favor of the unoperated side in all ROM except adduction (p<0.05). There was a moderate correlation between OHS and muscle strength. Conclusions: This study emphasizes the importance that these patients need physiotherapy programs in the long term and should be followed up regularly by healthcare professionals in the rehabilitation area. Finally, restoring muscle strength and range of motion is recommended to improve the functional state in daily life activities.

Published: October 2021

In this study, the prevalence and associated risk factors of vaginal candidiasis among female patients attending the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri was investigated. High Vaginal Swabs (HVS) specimens were collected, cultured and C. albicans identified. The overall prevalence rate of vaginal candidiasis was 28.3%, with the highest rate of 33.3% observed among the age group 26-30years, while the lowest prevalence (17.1%) was among ages 31-45 years. Based on the nature of underwear, those who wore silk and very tight underwear recorded the highest prevalence (34.5% and 77.8%, respectively) while those who wore nylon and loose underwears had the least prevalence (23.1% and 24.2%, respectively). By level of education, primary school leavers had the highest prevalence (50%) while graduates had the lowest prevalence (23.9%). Those who had history of STI and those with vaginal discharge/discomfort had high prevalence of 30.8% and 30.1%, respectively. The study revealed the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis among general study subjects to be 28.3%; 34 out of 120, which was considerably higher than that of non-candidiasis; 86 out of 120. Low income, sexual activity, tight underwears, previous history of STI, ignorance, as well as poor personal hygiene have been implicated as possible risk factors. Efforts should therefore be made to educate females on the subject from time to time and access to quality social amenities, health care services, prompt diagnosis and treatment of STI and vaginosis should be improved upon. Microbiological analysis of HVS for all pregnant women during their first antenatal visit is also recommended.

Authors: Avdoshina Svetlana Arsenovna
Published: October 2021

The paper aims to consider the role of the Artists’ Union of Tatarstan in the fight against formalism in the visual arts of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (TASSR) in the 1930s-40s. Scientific novelty of the work lies in presenting relatively unknown aspects of the fight against formalism in the Tatar art of the considered period, as well as in making sense of already known facts in their light. As a result of the study, it has been found that accusations of formalism were one of the main ways of fighting within the Union, which concerned entire groups and individuals alike. Such an organisational form as the Artists’ Union was a convenient tool for pursuing state policies in the field of visual arts.
Cognitive-Pragmatic Anthropological Analysis of Video Games
Authors: Klyuev Artem Andreevich , Klyueva Elena Nikolaevna
Published: October 2021

The paper justifies the thesis that cognitive-pragmatic anthropological approach can be applied to analyze media products, in particular, video games. The article emphasizes two aspects of studying video games and player’s experience: narratological and ludological (E. Aarseth, J. Juul). Scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that relying on fundamental ludological works the authors propose the methodology to analyze media products and their anthropological models. As a result, it is shown that cognitive-pragmatic anthropological approach offers a new theoretical perspective for studying video games and allows a deeper analysis of player’s experience and the influence of media environment on his value and ethical attitudes.
Indigenous Minorities of the Russian Far East in History of World War II and the Great Patriotic War: A Moment of Historical Memory
Authors: Podmaskin Vladimir Viktorovich
Published: October 2021

The aim of the research is to consider the little-studied range of problems of generations’ historical memory in the aspect of value attitudes as well as the contribution of the indigenous minorities of the Far East of Russia to the defeat of Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan. The scientific originality of the work is determined by the fact that the task was solved taking into account the new published sources of recent years and the author’s expedition materials of 2021 involved in the scientific circulation, using the cultural-anthropological and gender approach, descriptive, biographical methods and the method of historical reconstruction. The socio-economic situation of the indigenous minorities during the war is considered. Attention is focused on the material contribution of the aborigines to the common cause of victory over the enemy. The specifics of economic activity and the problems associated with the functioning of the labour potential of the mobilization economy in the region during the war years are shown. An assessment of the true devotion of the aborigines to their homeland is given. Changes in traditional activity are emphasized. The little-known socio-demographic and cultural consequences of wartime are characterized. The problem of strengthening the consolidation of ethnic processes during the war is touched upon. The obtained results showed that the value-based approach does not lose its relevance, and the study can be used not only in scientific research, but also in educational and pedagogical activity.

Authors: Postnikova Yekaterina Georgievna , Lyubetsky Artyom Evgen’evich , Sennikova Ksenia Georgievna
Published: October 2021

The aim of the research is to study the problem of woman at war and the phenomena of the front-line love and sexual culture from the point of modern military historical and gender anthropology. The scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that it introduces new sources, that is ego-documents of a front-line soldier, a navigator electrician of the M-107 and M-119 submarines G. I. Sennikov, in the scientific usage. As a result, it has been proved that beside the gender roles traditionally played by women in military operations (the role of a mother and hearth keeper, the role of a victim), the submarine sailor’s diary shows other female roles and corresponding behaviour stereotypes: the roles of a fellow comrade, a bride, a lover. The perception of love and sexual culture by a young combatant has allowed identifying some “pressure points” of military gender relationships and marking the phenomena of gender disruption of stereotypical sex roles, bipolarization of love and sexual culture at war, emancipation of social and gender roles.

Authors: Khakimova A. G. , Gultyaeva E. I. , Mitrofanova O. P.
Published: October 2021

Background. One of the promising sources for enrichment of the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) gene pool with new alleles is synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW), or allopolyploids from crossing tetraploid wheats (2n = 4x = 28, BBAA) with accessions of Aegilops tauschii Coss. (2n = 2x = 14, DD), and subsequent doubling of the chromosome number in the hybrids. Objectives of the study were to evaluate the SHW accessions from the VIR collection for resistance to Puccinia triticina Erikss. populations collected in Russia; genotype the accessions; and summarize information from the published sources concerning the resistance of the studied accessions to other harmful diseases and pests.

Materials and methods. Resistance of 36 SHW accessions from the VIR collection to the populations of P. triticina was assessed in the laboratory and in the field, under artificial infection pressure, using the techniques developed by the Institute of Plant Protection. A phytopathological test and PCR markers were used to identify the Lr genes.

Results and conclusion. The SHW accessions were characterized according to their resistance to the Russian populations of the wheat leaf rust pathogen. The sources of resistance in the phase of emergence and in adult plants were identified. The phytopathological test isolated three accessions with Lr23; the PCR marker of Lr21=Lr40 was found in 11 accessions, Lr39=Lr41 in 19, and Lr22a in 3. At the same time, k-65496, k-65515 and k-65517 had si multaneously Lr21=Lr40 and Lr39=Lr41, while k-65497, k-65503 and k-65508 had Lr22a and Lr39=Lr41. The analysis of published data showed that many of the studied SHW accessions were also resistant to other harmful diseases and insect pests, so they are of interest for further studying and possible use in domestic breeding.
Identification of PEG 6000 concentrations for assessing drought resistance in millet genotypes during the seed germination phase
Authors: Gorlachova O. V. , Gorbachova S. N. , Lutenko V. S. , Anceferova O. V.
Published: October 2021

Background. Using LD50 concentrations of the osmotic PEG 6000 to select millet genotypes during seed germination for drought resistance breeding is the best way of millet genotype differentiation according to the studied trait.

Materials and methods. The millet cultivars ‘Omriyane’, ‘Kharkovskoe 57’, ‘Konstantinovskoe’, ‘Slobozhanskoe’, and the accession IR 5 were selected as the test material. Water stress was applied through five concentrations of PEG (6000 MW): 11.5%, 15.3%, 19.6%, 23.5%, 28.9%, and 0.0% (control). On the sixth day of incubation, millet seed germination was measured. The regression method for assessing LD50 (half-lethal dose) by V. B. Prozorovskii was used to theoretically substantiate the selection of an optimal osmotic concentration, which would be most accurate in identifying the level of drought tolerance in millet genotypes during seed germination.

Results and conclusions: The 15.3% to 28.9% concentrations of PEG 6000 solutions had a negative effect on seed germination of millet genotypes. A strongly suppressed seed germination rate was observed at the PEG concentration of 23.5%: germination percentage in all cultivars (except for IR 5, with 56.0%) fell below 50%. Calculations according to the Verhulst logistic curve and the probit analysis by V. B. Prozorovskii’s technique showed that the mean LD50 concentration of PEG 6000 solutions for all studied genotypes was 23.03%. Thus, as a result of the analysis of our experimental data and their statistical processing, we recommended the 23.0% concentration of PEG 6000 solution as the most differentiating in terms of drought resistance in the millet seed germination phase.

Published: October 2021

The main task in choosing candidates for filling a vacancy is to meet the demand for employees in qualitative and quantitative terms. Hiring an employee is preceded by a clear understanding of the functions he will execute, tasks and job responsibilities, rights and interactions in the organization. Based on the set-out requirements, appropriate people selected for a specific position. Staff selection remains a challenge for many companies (problem).  For solving these problems, it is necessary to develop information technology for the staff selection in the office of a logistics enterprise, which will provide a decision-making process in various situations for tasks of varying computational complexity(methodology). The work goals  to improve the organizational management of staff support through the development of information technology for staff selection in the office of a logistics company. To achieve this goal, you need to solve the following tasks to develop the structure of information technology for the process of staff selection in the office of a logistics company; to formulate an example of staff selection by using analytic hierarchy process. As a result of developed information technology for staff selection in the office of a logistics enterprise includes:  requirements formation for the office staff for the logistics enterprise; goal formation and its decomposition, including decision-making of multi-criteria and fuzzy information, information support and rule base staff selection model in the office of a logistics enterprise; multi-criteria discrete optimization; results evaluation. The practical aspect of  example of staff selection in logistics office considered the usage of the analytic hierarchy process. A hierarchy of problems ‘to choose the best candidates’ creates a matrix of pairwise comparisons for all criteria. The first level is to select the best candidate. The second level is to evaluate the criteria for candidates.  The third level is to fulfil the vacancy of a logistics enterprise. The difference of the developed information technology lies in the usage of fuzzy initial information, which makes it possible to be more adequately and fully evaluate applicants for vacant vacancies (originality).

Published: October 2021

Аbstract. Problem. Nowadays, GIS-technologies allow you to store various data stores. The existing state cadastral administration systems in Ukraine need to be linked. Today, cadastre systems are distinguished – state land cadastre, natural resource cadastre, real estate cadastre, urban planning cadastre, environmental cadastre, mineral cadastre, water cadastre. Goal. All these administration systems have their own databases, but do not have a common administration system. So in the state cadastre of natural resources there are objects of the natural reserve fund, their area, approximate location is listed, but there is no information in the state land cadastre about the location of such objects, there are no geodetic coordinates, these objects are not displayed on the public cadastral map of Ukraine. We investigated the Kuplevatsky natural reserve fund in the Barvenkovsky district of the Kharkiv region, which has been listed as an NRF object since 1992, but there is no information about this object in the state cadastral administration system. Methodology. Our research, after geodetic survey of the territory and computer processing of the results, obtained a digital cartographic image of the NRF object in the Digitals software package. Results. Afterthat, we entered into the information layers of the administration of the state land cadastre information about the NRF object and linked it with the ecological cadastral system.

Formation of ecological component of consumer properties of roads
Authors: Arinushkina Natalia , Grishchenko Tamara
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Problem. The issue of the impact of construction projects on the environment is extremely relevant and complex. Analysis of publications. The study of the negative impact of rolling stock, dust, noise, vibration, emissions during the operation of engines, as well as the impact of construction processes on the environment were engaged in such scientists as I.Ye. Evgeniev, RA Kizima, D.W. Зерка-лов, М.В. Немчинов, О.Л. Boychenko and others [1, 3, 4, 8, 9]. The aim is to assess the degree of impact of the road and transport on the environment. Presenting main material. Consumer properties of roads are a set of indicators that directly meet the needs of road users: safety, speed, continuity, comfort of traffic; road capacity, in particular the ability to pass cars and road trains with permitted axle loads, total weight and dimensions; ecological and aesthetic condition of the road; level of service and information support [2]. Ecological safety of the highway depends on the technical level, operational condition of the road and road structures, intensity and composition of traffic and characterizes the impact of the road on the environment within the limits of environmental standards, including harmful vehicle emissions, noise pollution, migration of animals, reptiles etc. [6]. Cars with gasoline engines are especially harmful in this regard. Diesel engines have a much lower level of toxicity and contain much less harmful substances. On the entire area of land occupied by the road and the construction of the road complex, on temporarily allotted land for reserves, quarries and other developments should be removed fertile layer of soil with bulldozers that cut and move the soil some distance. In the course of performance of this work the soil is exposed to mechanical disturbance. The construction area becomes a category of disturbed lands, which include lands with a removed or covered humus layer, not suitable for agricultural and forestry use without prior restoration of fertility [3, 7, 10, 11]. Conclusions. In order to protect the environment, many countries around the world are introducing laws designed to limit the negative impact of vehicles on the state of the biosphere, which requires the creation of modern environmental legislation and regulatory framework for environmental safety.
Automated calculation of road reinforced con-crete round culverts for operation in free-flow mode in program UKRRVS21
Authors: Musiienko Igor
Published: October 2021

The modern approach to the design of road culverts involves the use of computeraided design (CAD). In design organizations of Ukraine software products of the Minsk company CREDO are being used for calculations of capacity of culverts by GRIS_T. Since 2019, the UKRRVS program is being developed to calculate culverts of road structures according to Ukrainian standards. At the moment, the program has the calculation of stormwater runoff according to MADI/SoyuzDorProekt formula and meltwater runoff (according the Road Handbook). In 2020, a new stage of automated calculation of road culverts started - calculations of capacity. The article presents the automated calculation of road reinforced concrete round culverts for pressureless operation. Goal. It is proposed to automate the calculation of road reinforced concrete round culverts for pressureless oper-ation. Methodology. The current methods for calculating the throughput of reinforced concrete road culverts have been used. Programming was carried out in the C# language using object-oriented programming. Results. The state of affairs in the auto-mation of hydraulic calculations in the road industry in accordance with Ukrainian standards was analyzed. It was concluded that at the moment the production uses the GRIS program of the CREDO company. The UKRRVS program is being developed. In this program, the issue of automating the calculation of the throughput of round culverts for operation in freeflow mode is relevant. The question of the methodology and algorithmization of this calculation, coding and interface support has been resolved. Practical value. The algorithm for calculating road culverts has been developed. A part of calculating the throughput of road culverts has been created in the UKRRVS program. This part covers the most com-mon group - round reinforced concrete culverts for freeflow operation. Originality. The interface has been created for the automation program for calculating road culverts. When you click the button “Round reinforced concrete pipes” in the main menu of the program UKRVS 21, the window “Calculation of a round reinforced concrete pipe operating in pressureless mode” opens. The calculation consists of three parts: the area of formation of initial data, the button “Calculate”, and the area of output of results of calculations. The area of formation of ini-tial data consists of 7 points. The area of the results of calculation of round reinforced concrete road cul-verts working in a pressureless mode consists of 14 points.
Analysis of the effect of reinforcement of diaphragm spans on their spatial work
Authors: Berezhna Katerina , Krasnov Sergey
Published: October 2021

A large number of bridges in Ukraine have been built in the 60–70 s (about 54 % of the total number). In that regard, the number of cases of detecting various types of damage on the elements of bridge structures is increasing, which can cause emergencies in the future. It also suggests that most of the bridges and overpasses were built according to the old technical standards and now do not meet the modern standards of DBN V.2.3-14: 2006 and DBN V.2.3-22: 2009, both in terms of carrying capacity and dimensions of the roadway. Therefore, the issues of strengthening the existing spans are relevant. Goal. The work analyzes the effect of reinforcement of diaphragm spans on their spatial work in order to determine the effectiveness of reinforcement by gluing additional rigid reinforcement and installing transverse metal beams. The tasks that have been solved in the work are as follows: creating an adequate finite element model of the diaphragm span; limiting the number of options for design schemes to the optimal number; construction and analysis of the graphs of bending moments and deflections in the cross-section in the middle of the span of beams. Results. The graphs of the distribution of bending moments in the beams of the superstructure for different dimensions show that the presence of reinforcement does not affect the value of the bending moment, and the distribution of forces between the beams of the superstructure becomes less uniform with an increase in their number. The deflections for all load cases and dimensions are greater than the deflections of beams with reinforcement; however, the installation of an additional transverse metal beam does not affect the values and distribution of deflections. Beam deflection graphs become less uniform with an increase in their number. Practical value. Analysis of the effect of reinforcement on the spatial work of span structures has shown that only reinforcement of beams with longitudinal rigid reinforcement without installing transverse beams is expedient in practice.
