Authors: Bui Truong Giang , Nguyen Quang Tuan , Nguyen Phan Anh
Published: June 2024

In this article, the mathematical models within the Plaxis 3D software were used to simulate and assess the deflection of diaphragm walls, comparing with data collected from a real project. This scientific and effective approach is crucial, as analyzing and simulating the excavation stages before constructing diaphragm walls for underground levels becomes essential for controlling wall displacement and preventing potential soil erosion issues in the surrounding deep excavation, which could have serious consequences for neighboring structures. The numerical modeling results demonstrate that the deflection of the diaphragm wall varies inversely with its thickness, but this variation is relatively small and quite compatible with the observed data

Published: June 2024

Relevance. In 1867, newspapers, magazines and books published in many languages around the world began to collect materials about Central Asia as a whole, including the Turkestan region and Kazakhstan. This work was carried out until 1939 with interruptions, as a result of which a very large and scientifically significant �Turkestan Collection� was compiled with a total volume of 594 volumes. The collection is kept in the collection of rare manuscripts and books of the National Library of Uzbekistan �Alisher Navoi�, includes journalistic materials of various genres published in newspapers and magazines not only in tsarist Russia, but also in other foreign countries.Purpose. This paper aims to analyze the coverage of Russian colonial policies in Kazakhstan as documented in the �Turkestan Collection�, emphasizing how this body of work reflects and influences historical perceptions.Methodology. An extensive review of journalistic materials from the �Turkestan Collection� was conducted, focusing on articles published in Russian newspapers and magazines from 1867 to 1939. The materials include a wide range of genres and reflect both Russian and foreign perspectives on the events in the region.Results. The analysis reveals that the �Turkestan Collection� primarily portrays the Russian colonial endeavors in a positive light, often diminishing the significance of local resistance and the negative impacts of colonization. The collection was influenced by the political climate of the time and served as a tool for Russian propaganda.Conclusions. The �Turkestan Collection� serves as a significant historical resource that offers insights into Russian colonial policies and their portrayal in the media. However, its biased representation underlines the importance of critical analysis when using such collections for historical research, emphasizing the need to balance these accounts with other sources to gain a comprehensive understanding of the historical events in Central Asia.

Authors: Aguirre-Villarreal David , Leal-Villarreal Mario Andrés de Jesús , García-Juárez Ignacio , Argaiz Eduardo R , Koratala Abhilash
Published: June 2024

This article delves into the intricate challenges of acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis, a condition fraught with high morbidity and mortality. The complexities arise from distinguishing between various causes of AKI, particularly hemodynamic AKI, in cirrhotic patients, who experience hemodynamic changes due to portal hypertension. The term "hepatocardiorenal syndrome" is introduced to encapsulate the intricate interplay among the liver, heart, and kidneys. The narrative emphasizes the often-overlooked aspect of cardiac function in AKI assessments in cirrhosis, unveiling the prevalence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy marked by impaired diastolic function. The conventional empiric approach involving volume expansion and vasopressors for hepatorenal syndrome is critically analyzed, highlighting potential risks and variable patient responses. We advocate for a nuanced algorithm for AKI evaluation in cirrhosis, prominently featuring point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS). POCUS applications encompass assessing fluid tolerance, detecting venous congestion, and evaluating cardiac function.

Authors: Stefanou Nikolaos , Mylonas Theodoros , Angelis Fragkiskos A , Arnaoutoglou Christina , Varitimidis Sokratis E , Dailiana Zoe H
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Vascular injuries of the upper extremities are considered relatively rare injuries affecting mostly the young population. They often are complex injuries accompanied by other musculoskeletal trauma or trauma in other anatomic locations. Their management is challenging since they can lead to disabilities with major socioeconomic effects.

AIM

To analyze data about the mechanism of injury, the management algorithm and functional outcomes of vascular injuries of the upper extremity.

METHODS

One hundred and fifteen patients (96 males and 19 females) with arterial injuries of the upper extremity treated in a tertiary trauma center from January 2003 to December 2022 was conducted. Mean patients’ age was 33.7 years and the mean follow up time was 7.4 years. Patients with Mangled Extremity Severity Score ≥ 7 and Injury Severity Score ≥ 20, previous upper limb surgery or major trauma and any neuromuscular or psychiatric disease were excluded, from the study.

RESULTS

A penetrating trauma was the most common cause of injury. The radial artery was the artery injured in most of the cases (37.4%) followed by the ulnar (29.5%), the brachial (12.1%) and the axillary (6%). A simultaneous injury of both of the forearm’s arteries was in 15.6% of the cases. In 93% of the cases there were other concomitant musculoskeletal injuries of the extremity. Tendon lacerations were the most common, followed by nerve injuries. The postoperative functional scores (full Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand and VAS) had very satisfactory values.

CONCLUSION

Although vascular injuries of the upper extremity are rare, they may occur in the context of major combined musculoskeletal trauma. Although a multidisciplinary approach is essential to optimize outcome, the ability of trained hand surgeons to repair all injuries in combined vascular and musculoskeletal upper extremity trauma, excluding isolated vascular injuries, ensures shorter operative times and better functional outcomes.

Point-of-care ultrasonography in cirrhosis-related acute kidney injury: How I do it
Authors: Koratala Abhilash
Published: June 2024

Discerning the etiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhotic patients remains a formidable challenge due to diverse and overlapping causes. The conventional approach of empiric albumin administration for suspected volume depletion may inadvertently lead to fluid overload. In the recent past, point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has emerged as a valuable adjunct to clinical assessment, offering advantages in terms of diagnostic accuracy, rapidity, cost-effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. This review provides insights into the strategic use of POCUS in evaluating cirrhotic patients with AKI. The review distinguishes basic and advanced POCUS, emphasizing a 5-point basic POCUS protocol for efficient assessment. This protocol includes evaluations of the kidneys and urinary bladder for obstructive nephropathy, lung ultrasound for detecting extravascular lung water, inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound for estimating right atrial pressure, internal jugular vein ultrasound as an alternative to IVC assessment, and focused cardiac ultrasound for assessing left ventricular (LV) systolic function and identifying potential causes of a plethoric IVC. Advanced POCUS delves into additional Doppler parameters, including stroke volume and cardiac output, LV filling pressures and venous congestion assessment to diagnose or prevent iatrogenic fluid overload. POCUS, when employed judiciously, enhances the diagnostic precision in evaluating AKI in cirrhotic patients, guiding appropriate therapeutic interventions, and minimizing the risk of fluid-related complications.

It mentions a new approach in the context of the authentication method that was deployed for the purpose of the AAA certification is presented there along with the watermarking and this RSA algorithms to enhance the security of the cloud file-sharing. This concept is far more effective than the conventional access policies that are top down and cal beforehand for systematic risk avoidance; hence, it helps to minimize the chances of an organization being vulnerable to various risks by right management. Iturbide’s data loss prevention technique eliminates the probability of losing sensitive information to the rest of the world as well as other unauthorized persons or organizations regaining access to privileged keys while Shamir’s secret sharing algorithm- polynomial interpolation ensures that the generation of keys is not a time-consuming exercise. In order to address the issues of persistent security threats in cloud computing paradigm, the proposed model includes computation, encryption and access to improve the overall security of cloud environment. However, these measures have been implemented, some of them can offer the best security when it comes to the ever-evolving threat. To maintain the privacy of clients’ data in the CL reinforcement learning, the paper suggests the use of homomorphic encryption for privacy-preserving RL inference. Therefore – as a result of the work – the necessity of implementing the suggested security model for the cloud computing environments as well as protecting the data and enhancing the level of trust in cloud solutions is stated.

Through an analysis of demographic characteristics such as age, gender, income, education, and occupation, the study uncovers their influence on FinTech adoption and usage. Findings reveal that while age, education, and gender do not significantly impact FinTech adoption, employment status and income levels emerge as critical determinants, with employed individuals and those in lower-income brackets showing higher adoption rates. Moreover, the study underscores the pivotal role of user satisfaction and trust in driving continued engagement with FinTech services. Positive user experiences are found to be instrumental in building trust, which strongly influences the intention to use FinTech platforms. However, user satisfaction alone does not significantly impact usage intentions without the presence of trust. These insights underscore the importance of transparent and secure service offerings to cater to diverse consumer needs and foster widespread adoption, ensuring the sustained success of FinTech initiatives.
