Purpose of the study was to compare of the average long-term results of classical prostate enucleation using the Millin method and enucleation performed using a holmium laser (HoLEP).

   Patients and methods. This study, conducted on the basis of the Endocrinology Research Center of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, included 100 patients operated on for obstruction of the prostatic part of the urethra over the period 2020–2023. The main indication for surgery was benign prostatic hyperplasia. The selection criterion for patients was a prostate volume of more than 80 cm3. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the intervention performed: in the 1st group Millin surgery was performed (n = 50), in group 2n laser enucleation of the prostate was done (n = 50). The data obtained during the operation in the early postoperative period, as well as the results of postoperative follow-up of patients were analyzed.

   Results. In the mid-term period, 4–6 months after surgery, patients from both groups were observed to improve their condition and reduce complaints of dysuric phenomena. The results were obtained illustrating a shorter inpatient stay for patients who underwent HoLEP (4.3 ± 0.6 days versus 10.0 ± 2.4 during Millin surgery), which is correspondingly associated with a faster recovery after this intervention compared with the classic one. A statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) problem of patients from the HoLEP group was urethral stricture, which occurred in 6 % of the subjects from this group and did not occur in the Millin surgery group. In fact, scarring of the bladder neck was more commonly obserbed (10 % vs. 8 %) in the Millin surgery group. However, these complications were not more than 10 %. As a result of the study, there was no statistically significant effect of using HoLEP on erectile dysfunction in patients, which suggests the potential of this technique for a lower incidence of worsening erectile dysfunction compared with open intervention.

   Conclusions. HoLEP is a safe method of prostate enucleation, applicable for its large volume, in particular, up to 80 cm3. This procedure is an alternative to classical open surgery, and can be recommended for patients with polymorbidity to reduce the risk of perioperative complications and reduce rehabilitation time. Millin surgery is also a reliable treatment method with high sensitivity to the detection of cellular atypia and a large volume of cytoreduction. The decision on the surgical procedure used must be made individually for each patient.
Symmetry of Square Contingency Tables Using Simplicial Geometry
Authors: Nakamura Keita , Nakagawa Tomoyuki , Tahata Kouji
Published: September 2024

Two-way contingency tables illustrate the relationship between two discrete variables. Their corresponding probability tables can beregarded as an element in a simplex. Herein we discuss the symmetry of a square contingency table with the same row and columnclassifications. Specifically, we identify symmetric probability tables as a linear subspace using the Aitchison geometry of thesimplex. Then given a probability table, an orthogonal projection onto the symmetric subspace yields the nearest symmetric table. The(i, j) cell of the nearest symmetric table is characterized as the geometric mean of symmetric cells. This characterization does notagree with the standard maximum likelihood estimators, except in the symmetric case. The original probability table is subsequentlydecomposed into symmetric and skew-symmetric tables, which are orthogonal to each other. Finally, we develop a method to test thesymmetry of a contingency table based on a parametric bootstrap and provide an example.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: Modern battery-powered vehicles still do not meet the needs of consumers in terms of autonomous mileage. Therefore, the problem of increasing the energy efficiency in order to reduce energy consumption for motion is highly relevant. One of the directions, along with the use of more efficient units and systems, is the development of control algorithms that minimize these costs and make it possible to control the motion using only the accelerator pedal.
AIM: The study of the operability and effectiveness of the algorithm for controlling a vehicle only with an accelerator pedal using virtual simulation of motion, further practical implementation of the algorithm in the control system.
METHODS: The study was carried out using the MATLAB/Simulink software package.
RESULTS: The paper describes the functioning of the single-pedal control algorithm using the example of a passenger vehicle with an individual traction electric drive, the results of virtual simulation proving its operability and energy efficiency for the case of highway traffic.
CONCLUSION: The practical value of the study lies in the proven operability, energy efficiency, and the possibility of using the algorithm for development of the software for vehicle motion control systems.

Authors: Konieczna Agnieszka Irena , Białek Ilona
Published: September 2024

Introduction: By treating a person with a disability in a subjective manner, we consent to the development of his autonomy and support his personal choices, privacy and preferences. In the case of a young person with intellectual disabilities, this issue does not seem so simple, and especially when it concerns the sphere of romantic and sexual experiences. Research Aim: The article identifies possible solutions for improving this important area of adolescents' lives, including, in particular, the importance of implementing educational programs and preparing professionals and parents to engage in meaningful conversations about sexuality and intimate relationships. Evidence-based Facts: There is a growing body of research showing that many young people with intellectual disabilities experience problems in realizing their sexuality and restrictions on their right to intimate relationships. Also, they are more vulnerable to abuse and risky sexual behavior because they do not understand social rules and signals from others, do not distinguish socially appropriate sexual behavior, and have difficulty negotiating equal relationships, setting boundaries, and reporting abuse. Summary: Addressing the intimacy needs, sexual expression, and romantic activities of teens with intellectual disabilities can occur in a healthier, safer, and more intimate manner. Education provides an alternative to ignoring, suppressing, interfering or treating this sphere of activity and experience as non-normative and forbidden.

The rate of “Not Good” products due to the presence of abnormal objects during the quality control inspection of mobile phone’s panels is as high as 38 percent without supervision and 19 percent with naked eye’s inspection. To reduce the loss of small abnormal objects and improve the recognition rate of object detection of automatic panel quality monitoring, the paper proposes abnormal object recognition based on a template matching and subtract background technique. Firstly, the object recognition network based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is introduced initially. Then, the Canny Edge Detection method improves the image input quality. Next, template matching is utilized to discover things that depart from a standard pattern or a predetermined model. Models for background reduction will be implemented instantly into smartphone panel quality checking systems. Continually, a vision-based quality control (QC) strategy will be developed. Lastly, experimental results from a practical vision-based automatic anomalous object identification system demonstrate the viability and enhancement of the suggested strategy.

Research and Investigation of High Frequency Profile of Step and Touch Voltages Due to Fragmentation of the Grounding Grid
Authors: Shemshadi Asaad , Khorampour Pourya
Published: September 2024

The increasing demand and the benefits of electricity energy have led to the creation of huge power plants, so high voltage substations are necessary for electrical energy. Installing different small power plants to prevent consumption in different parts of a country requires reservation units and high costs for repairs, maintenance and fueling. The necessity of these substations can be searched in the lack of uniformity of different costs, the costs of generating electrical energy, the lack of consumption centers near power plants, and generally the existence of a national grid and the possibility of timely disconnection of the faulty parts of the power grid. The priority in the rehabilitating of a strong substation is to meet the system's operation needs. In all electrical installations, especially in industrial complexes, land connectivity is one of the most important and fundamental measures to protect individuals and equipment and improve the performance of the system. The purpose of ground equipment system is to potentialize the metal body of all electrical equipment with the ground to prevent electrocution and protect personnel. This type of connection is not normally a current carrier, but if one of the phases of the device is connected to the fuselage, the fault current enters the ground through this connection and closes its path through the trans neutral or the generator connected to the ground. Earth networks due to different structures of the earth in different regions may cause problems over time, one of them is the fragmentation of the earth's network due to rot of conductors or due to overvoltage. In this research at different and high frequencies, we use 3 frequencies of 50, 100 kilos and 1 MHz, to check the ground network factors and the security of equipment and people in high voltage substations, we use CDEGS software which is a specialized program for designing and investigating the earth network.
Objetivo: Research and investigation of high frequency, profile of step and touch voltajes of grounding grid.
Metodología: Design and modeling with Comsol software.
Resultados: As the frequency increases, both the step voltage and the touch voltage at the corner points increase more.
Conclusiones: By comparing the voltage profiles based on the simulation results, it was found that by increasing the frequency of the contact voltage in each profile and mesh, it is noticeably increased. The point to consider after reviewing the simulation results is that by increasing the frequency of both step voltage and touch voltage in the corner points, they are more increased than other parts.

Authors: Cabello Juan , Durando Álavrez Demóstenes José , Lancheros Suarez Valery José
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Colombian agriculture still has a low level of mechanization, which is primarily a result of the lack of financing, especially for small-scale farming. This has led to the artisanal manufacturing of agricultural machinery using local resources by copying other designs. This machinery generally has low efficiency and reliability. In the paper, the redesign of an indigenous rice thresher which was out of use due to its low efficiency and the significant rice losses during its operation is carried out.
Goal: The research is aimed at redesigning a homemade rice thresher, significantly improving its performance, with a low manufacturing cost through the maximum utilization of its components and reconstruction using local resources and infrastructure.
Methodology: For the redesign, the five-step methodology proposed by Mullineux was applied. All the machine's mechanisms were analyzed and redesigned, and completely re-engineered.
Results: A new design for threshing teeth called "comb threshing teeth" was introduced, very simple to produce, assemble and replace. The redesigned thresher was implemented and evaluated, achieving the same productivity as the original thresher, reducing rice losses by two-thirds. Also, the field assessment results were coherent with the results of the former research works.
Conclussions: The results  show that it is beneficial for small-scale agriculture in Colombia to manufacture agricultural machinery adapted to its specific needs, manufactured locally with its resources, but applying appropriate engineering methods to ensure that the performance of the machines is satisfactory.

A Greedy Heuristic Algorithm for Location-based Group Formation
Authors: Sukstrienwong Anon
Published: September 2024

Presently, location-based Group formation has become more important in many areas. Fundamentally, it is a way to assign all members to suitable groups in order to gain the maximum benefits and accomplish their objectives. However, the process of group formation based on member’s location may cause a problem as it can be time-consuming if the number of members is large and more factors are considered in forming the groups. In order to cope with this problem, we proposed two variants of heuristic algorithm based on greedy algorithm in order to generate the optimized groups of nearby individual members, who are located in different locations. In this paper, we present our experimental results and illustrate that it produces optimal results for small problem sizes. Additionally, the experimental results demonstrated that the greedy algorithms produce the solutions with the intent of finding a global optimum.

Published: September 2024

Malaysia and Indonesia, located in the Southeast Asia region, have experienced severe pollution due to haze especially during drought seasons ever since 1980. Among the causes of this series of hazes affecting the region is mostly the industrial scale illegal of slash and burn practices, principally practised in Sumatera and Kalimantan. The main objective of this study is to investigate the carbon monoxide (CO) distribution over Malaysia and Indonesia, within the period from January 1980 to December 2018. This study utilizes MERRA-2 dataset provided by GIOVANNI interface. The monthly CO concentrations fluctuates highly, with the highest measurement observed during the drought season (June to October), meanwhile, the lowest observed are within the rainy season (November to March). The result of this study also shows that Kuala Lumpur, Riau, Palembang and West Kalimantan are the worst affected by CO pollution, especially during forest fires. During normal conditions, the CO value is below 200 parts per billion volume (ppbv). However, the CO concentration peaked as high as 15,208 ppbv during forest fire over Palembang in October 1997. The increment of CO concentration over this area is mostly due to the fire forests that commonly occurs during the drought season.

Published: September 2024

The search for hydrocarbon deposits in the sediments of the Lower Paleozoic complex of the Timan-Pechora oil and gas province, which are associated with the main prospects for increasing reserves, is a relevant topic for research. It is necessary to understand the formation processes of carbonate reservoirs within the complex under consideration to develop a strategy for predicting the structure of the complex reservoirs.
Obtaining data on the parameters of the fluid regime of the formation of secondary dolomites in the Paleozoic carbonate reservoirs of the Khasyrey field (Gamburtsev swell) was the aim of the study. We studied primary fluid inclusions in dolomite and anhydrite cements filling vuggy voids in reservoir rocks.
We showed that the inclusions contained up to 10 vol. % of the gas phase, which was represented by methane and water vapor. The liquid phase was characterized by a substantially chloride-calcium composition, the salinity is 13.5–23.5 wt. % NaCl-eq. These data might indicate the formation of cavities and cements of secondary dolomites from moderate-temperature solutions of high salinity, which were formed as a result of mixing sedimentation (primary marine) waters and brines of hydrothermal vents. The products of evaporite dissolution in the presence of hydrocarbons and sulfate reduction processes were the most likely source and supplier of the fluids, both the formation of leaching caverns in the rock and the cements performing them. Fluids could enter the upper floors of the section from hydrothermal sources in the basement zones and lower horizons of the sedimentary cover through a system of faults and cracks during tectonic activation.

What’s the Matter with Angels? Angelic Materiality and the Possible Intellect in Some Early Fourteenth-century Franciscans
Authors: Toth Zita V.
Published: September 2024

While the question of whether angels are composed of matter and form, may seem, to the modern reader, somewhat odd, medieval thinkers saw it as a genuine puzzle. On the one hand, angels are purely intellectual creatures, which, according to some (perhaps most famously Aquinas), seems to imply that they are altogether devoid of materiality. On the other hand, however, angels are capable of change, which, according to the broadly-speaking Aristotelian framework, seems to imply an underlying material substrate. This paper traces the views of some early fourteenth-century Franciscan texts, according to which angels are material: the Disputed questions by Gonsalvus of Spain, a De Anima question-commentary sometimes attributed to the early Duns Scotus, and the Sentences commentaries of Peter of Trabibus and of Peter Auriol. As will be seen, the question of angelic materiality gave ample opportunity for these thinkers to elaborate on what they meant exactly by ‘matter’, and to hint at the ways in which this metaphysical principle is related to other important metaphysical notions in the neighborhood, such as change, corporeity, or potency.
The 'Summa Halensis' on the Composition of the Human Body
Authors: Dold Dominic
Published: September 2024

The author of the Summa Halensis claims that the human body is maximally composite and argues for this using a proof strategy that intends to deduce the body’s composition from the human soul’s immateriality. This study examines that claim and argument, which is given both in a shorter and a longer form. The core of the article consists in a careful reconstruction of both forms, along with an enquiry into its Jewish Neoplatonic sources (first and foremost the Fons vitae) and its appearance in zoological commentaries contemporary to the Summa written by Peter of Spain and Albert the Great. It emerges that the argument brings into play various features of the Summist’s hylomorphic theory, especially a pluralism about substantial forms.
Dialectics and transduction in the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Grigorova Yana , Timashov Konstantin ,   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”
Published: September 2024

The article explores the question of Gilbert Simondon’s (1924–1989) attitude to dialectics and the influence of G.W.F. Hegel’s philosophy on his theory of individuation. Simon­don’s philosophy is seen as a coherent system with its own method and original concep­tual apparatus, developed also in the course of a critical revision of Hegelian dialectics. It is noted that in a number of cases the French philosopher describes processes, connec­tions, relations as dialectical, in others as non-dialectical. The use of common terms (e.g. “abstract” and “concrete”) is analyzed in order to discover the influence of Hegel’s ideas on Simondon’s philosophy. In addition to his dissertations, which are widely recog­nized internationally, lesser-known recent publications from the philosopher’s archive are also drawn upon. On the basis of these texts, it is shown that in his philosophy of techno­logy, in an attempt to disassociate himself from certain dialectical categories, including such essential ones as “negation”, “sublation”, and the triad “thesis – antithesis – synthe­sis”, he developed an approach to which he gave the name of analectic. Simondon’s con­cept of transduction is described, in which one can see the main difference between his understanding of the processes of change and development and that proposed by Hegel. At the same time, it is noted that although the three levels of technique (element, indi­vidual and ensemble) and the three “phases of being” (pre-individual, individual, trans­individual) are seen by Simondon as a transductive unity, in some aspects a dialectical relationship is maintained between them. It is concluded that at a superficial glance Si­mondon’s philosophy has little in common with Hegelian dialectics, but on closer exami­nation of the underlying foundations of Simondon’s approach it becomes apparent that it is implicit in it.
The philosophy of invention of J. Simondon and G.S. Altshuller using the example of the icebreaker problem
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Vivich Elena
Published: September 2024

The article aims to study the possibilities of combining the theories of inventive creativity of the French philosopher J. Simondon and the Soviet engineer G.S. Altshuller. As an ex­ample, we take The Icebreaker Problem, which has often been offered to students of in­troductory courses of G.S. Altshuller’s theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ). The presuppositions for the ideas about the technical evolution of both authors are con­sidered. The main provisions of the theory of technical evolution are demonstrated on the basis of the evolution of icebreakers. Technological inventions are considered from Simondon’s point of view. Then, we consider the principles of Altshuller’s algorithm for inventive problem solving (ARIZ) to solve The Icebreaker Problem. Although both authors describe this process from different perspectives, the general theory of the in­vention allows us to combine them both, justifying the discrepancies. TRIZ naturally complements Simondon’s inventive creativity theory as a method. Simondon’s theory, in its turn, explains the origins of this method and other unusual characteristics of TRIZ (such as the “splitting” of the subject within the framework of the idea of directed evolu­tion that organizes TRIZ).
Encyclopedia of Diderot and D’Alembert: Contextual and Critical Understanding
Authors:   Lugansk State Agrarian University named after K.E. Voroshilov, Pilavov Georgy

The Encyclopedia of Diderot and D’Alembert is not only one of the most important monuments of philosophical thought of the Enlightenment, but also a significant socio-political event of that time. The study of the filiation of ideas in the 18th century shows that the work of the French Enlighteners is not the first work to generalize and structure the accumulated knowledge of mankind, but the totality of socio-philosophical reasons gives it the greatest importance. Comparative historical analysis also shows that the collective work of the encyclopedists pursued not only educational goals, but also partly served as a platform for the promotion of new ideas, and the achievement of the task – the radical reform of the socio-political world order. It is worth noting that at the same time, contradictions often arose between a purely scientific approach and the popularization of the views of the French Enlighteners, which led to a distortion of the picture of the world created by encyclopedists, and gave grounds for a critical understanding of their concept.
The Phenomenon of Mass Narcissism in the Jean Baudrillard’s Social Philosophy
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Brodnikov Alexander
Published: September 2024

Currently, it can be seen that the theory of mass narcissism is gaining popularity in various scientific circles. If narcissism was previously a part of psychoanalytic theory, then over time this concept became the subject of research by some philosophers. One of these researchers was Jean Baudrillard. This philosopher not only made up his own idea of modern society, but also demonstrated the fact that narcissism plays a rather significant role in it because many human desires and drives strongly resemble what is commonly considered narcissism. This article attempts to show exactly how, from the point of view of the French thinker, the phenomenon of mass narcissism manifests itself in modern society. In addition, the difference between the classical understanding of narcissism in psychoanalytic theory and its more modern interpretation is considered. Such an approach can demonstrate how Baudrillard himself understands the phenomenon of mass narcissism, what exactly he puts into this concept and why, despite some similarities with classical psychoanalytic theories, it is not necessary to identify his idea of narcissism with the psychoanalytic understanding of this phenomenon. Starting from the philosopher’s ideas about the structure of modern society (about the influence of information technology on personality and the consequences that the growing philosophy of consumption brings for a person), it is possible to understand quite clearly why Baudrillard turned to this phenomenon and decided to use it to describe a modern person.
Philosophical and methodological foundations for the formation of subject-oriented ergonomics of digital transformations
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Lepskiy Vladimir
Published: September 2024

An analysis of the experience of ergonomics made it possible to substantiate its clear advan­tage over other fields of knowledge for the role of a system organizer (integrator) in the field of social and humanitarian support for digital transformations, including artificial intelli­gence systems. The interdisciplinary trend of increasing the role of subjectness is analyzed as a basis for the formation of subject-oriented ergonomics of digital transformations. Philo­sophical and methodological grounds for creating a subject-oriented ergonomics of digital transformations in social systems are proposed. The focus of this article is on aspects of the control and development of social systems. The basis of these foundations is the sys­tem of paradigms of classical, non-classical, post-non-classical scientific rationality and the system of paradigms of cybernetics (of the first, second and third order) correlated with them. The evolution of ergonomics is correlated with the evolution of types of scientific ra­tionality, which made it possible to single out the corresponding paradigms of ergonomics and fulfill the Bohr correspondence principle for them, which allows for continuity of previ­ous ergonomic experience. The formation of the subject-oriented ergonomics of digital transformations is a step towards the formation of the VII socio-humanitarian technological order is considered. The priority of Russian science in the development of subject-oriented ergonomics of digital transformations is substantiated, which is largely associated with the specifics of Russian philosophical and methodological research.

A Convolutional Neural Network Model and Algorithm Driven Prototype for Sustainable Tilling and Fertilizer Optimization
Authors: Magesh Sajeev
Published: September 2024

Tilling, a common agricultural practice, is being done excessively on farms leading to about 2.35 billion tons of soil erosion from US croplands annually. This causes soil erosion, soil infertility, carbon release, nutrient runoff, and fertilizer over-usage. This paper evaluates whether optimizing tillage intensity, timing, and fertilizer quantity will address these problems. A convolutional neural network based machine learning model utilizes a camera-captured field image to determine existing tilling intensity on a 7-point scale. This machine learning output, along with soil sensor and external forecast data, flows into a 10-parameter algorithm that determines optimal tilling and fertilizer levels. A fully functional tractor prototype demonstrates the above. A 30-year simulation comparing conventionally-tilled and algorithm-tilled farms showed a reduction in carbon emission by 57%, fertilizer usage by 43%, and runoff by 86% demonstrating the transformative potential of this algorithm. Additionally, a stationary prototype was deployed in 155 farms across 5 countries.

Published: September 2024

Introduction

Deep neck infection (DNI) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. Dysphagia after DNI can be a consequence of substantial cervical soft tissue fibrosis, with severe cases requiring surgical intervention. Accurate evaluation of swallowing is necessary to understand the underlying pathology and to select the appropriate surgery. We present a case of severe dysphagia occurring after treatment for DNI, and dynamic swallowing virtual reality (VR) imaging and high-resolution pharyngeal manometry (HRM) were effective in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Case Presentation

A 52-year-old man previously underwent incision and drainage of deep neck and mediastinal abscesses secondary to dental caries. Six months after treatment, he suffered from severe dysphagia. Swallowing VR revealed extensive neck scarring and adhesions between the reactive cervical bony outgrowth and thyroid cartilage. HRM demonstrated that the pharyngeal contraction pressure from the upper to the lower regions was preserved, with the upper esophageal sphincter normally opening during swallowing. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with severe dysphagia caused by extensive neck scarring and adhesions between the cervical osteoproliferation and thyroid cartilage. To address this, cervical scar resection, cervical proliferative bone reduction, laryngeal elevation, and tracheostoma reconstruction were performed, with an eventual improvement in swallowing function.

Conclusions

Given the complex pathophysiology of dysphagia after DNI, a comprehensive evaluation using HRM and swallowing VR is useful for evaluating these patients and is anticipated to be integrated into clinical practice in the future.
