Purpose
Postmastectomy immediate breast reconstruction (PMIBR) rates in breast cancer patients have increased over recent decades but remain less frequently performed and understudied in elderly patients. We aim to evaluate postmastectomy breast reconstruction trends by age in Korea and the United States, highlighting potential disparities related to age, geography and ethnicity.
Methods
This is a multi-cohort retrospective study analyzing three databases. The Asan Medical Center-Breast Cancer Registry (AMC-BCR) included 13,654 total mastectomy patients from 2001–2021. A subset of patients, separately collected as AMC-plastic surgery registry (AMC-PSR) was used to analyze age-related differences in comorbidities and complications. The National Cancer Database (NCDB) included 966,354 total mastectomy patients with stage 0–3 breast cancer from 2004–2020.
Results
PMIBR rates in AMC-BCR increased from 13–78% in younger patients (< 60 years) and from 0–28% in older patients (≥ 60 years). Patients living in a metropolitan area (49.4% vs. 46.6%, p = 0.001), with higher education (93.2% vs. 66.3%, p < 0.001), unmarried (12.5% vs. 5.1%, p < 0.001), and with no childbirth history (10.5% vs. 6.3%, p < 0.001) were more likely to undergo reconstruction. In the NCDB, the rates were 37% for young (< 60) Asian-Americans, 48% for young non-Asians, 14% for older (≥ 60) Asian-Americans, and 24% for older non-Asians in 2020. Asian-Americans had the lowest reconstruction rates across ethnicities. AMC-PSR data showed no significant difference in major complications by age.
Conclusions
Older patients exhibited lower reconstruction rates than the younger patients and demographic factors differed between age groups, suggesting disparities by age, ethnicity and cultural factors.

The development of self-reinforced polymer composites, representing a relatively new group of composite materials, is a promising direction in the field of polymer chemistry. The method of self-reinforcement is used to combine the materials of a single polymer possessing different molecular, supramolecular, and structural features. The high adhesion and mechanical properties of such self-reinforced composites are achieved by the formation of a homogeneous system without an interfacial boundary. In addition, self-reinforcement offers the opportunity of using polymer waste for manufacturing high-strength composites, thus contributing to environmental load mitigation. In this work, we investigate the phase composition and properties of self-reinforced polymer composites based on polytetrafluoroethylene. Self-reinforced composites were prepared by mixing powders of industrial and recycled polytetrafluoroethylene followed by compression molding and pressureless sintering. The crystallinity degree of the as-obtained materials calculated by X-ray phase analysis equaled 41–68%. The performed dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the introduction of a powder of regenerated polytetrafluoroethylene into industrial polytetrafluoroethylene increases the elastic modulus of the obtained materials significantly (up to 2.0–3.1 GPa). The study of deformation and strength characteristics confirmed the feasibility of using up to 30 wt% of recycled polytetrafluoroethylene, obtained by mechanical abrasion, for manufacturing composites with good performance properties. The findings also indicate that the phase composition of the material depends on the method of polymer waste processing, determining the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the obtained self-reinforced polymer composites.
Corporate governance and financial distress: Moderating role of firm complexity in an emerging economy
Authors: Mai Tran Ngoc
Published: February 2025

Corporate governance has been widely applied in developed countries to promote accountability, transparency, and efficiency within corporations. In Vietnam, as the country transitions toward integrating international standards, corporate governance has become an emerging and critical area of focus. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between corporate governance characteristics and corporate financial distress. The study utilizes the dataset of about 500 listed companies in the Vietnam stock exchange during 2014–2022. Feasible generalized least squares regression (FGLS) is employed to account for the heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation problems. Regression results show that frequent board meetings and more gender-diverse boards improve corporate financial health, while an increase in board members and duality roles have negative effects. Duality is often associated with increased agency problems, inefficient capital usage, and higher risk levels that reduce financial health. However, the impact is different in complex firms measured by book-to-market ratio and operating cycles. In complex firms, duality proves valuable by providing unified leadership and enabling active, clear management strategies. This can be explained by the fact that clear and flexible strategies outweigh the benefits of separation between the chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Authors:   Penza State University, O. Ilyunina Olga
Published: February 2025

Background. The current issues of etiology, classification and methods of treatment of periodontal recessions are covered. Materials and methods. Modern scientific researches published in the Russian scientific electronic library “Elibrary.ru” and the biomedical research engine created by the National Center for Biotechnological Information “PubMed” were studied, analyzed and systematized. Results. Gingival recession may be single or multiple and is apical migration of marginal gingiva towards cementoenamel junction, that leads to root cement exposure. As a result, this pathology causes appearance of aesthetic defect, teeth hypersensitivity, occurrence of carious and non-carious lesions of hard tooth tissues in cirvical coronoral third. More than half of the world’s population has periodontal recessions with varying depths of lesion – from 1 mm and more. Gingival recession can be detected both with oral hygiene low level and in patients with good oral hygiene. Thus, gingival recession, or periodontal recession, is multifactorial pathology depending on anatomical, physiological and pathological features. Most often, recession formation occurs on vestibular teeth surfaces. Conclusions. Knowledge of etiology, classifications and treatment options for periodontal recession in the modern world is necessary for dentist to properly plan treatment and to achieve successful treatment results.

Background. The issues of anatomical variability of the main arteries are important for minimally invasive and intravascular operations. Ultrasound diagnostics are important for understanding the topography and variable anatomy in the neck, and the results are successfully used in the clinic. The purpose is to study the prevalence of significantly pronounced degenerative changes in the vascular wall in various variants of the mutual position of vessels in the area of bifurcation of the common carotid artery (CCA). Materials and methods. Ultrasound examination was performed on an outpatient basis in 978 volunteers. The nature of the mutual relationship of vessels in the area of bifurcation of the CCA and signs of atherosclerotic changes were evaluated. Results. The data of 1956 vascular complexes in the area of CCA bifurcation were evaluated with the allocation of 5 variants of the relative position of the vessels. The percentage of cases of detection of atherosclerotic plaques among the participants in the observation generally varied within 5 %. The thickness of the vascular wall of CCA was noted in type G and D. The lowest average values of the thickness of the external (ECA) and internal carotid arteries (ICA) were recorded in groups B and D. Conclusions. The lowest severity of atherosclerosis was noted in groups G and D, and the highest for ECA, in groups B and D. At the level of CCA and ICA, the greatest changes in the vascular wall were in group B. The minimum thickness of the CIM was noted in groups A, G, and D. The greatest thickness of the vascular wall of the CIA was dedetermined in types B and C of the relative position of vessels in the bifurcation area of CCA.

Background. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on the structure of endometrium in women who underwent spontaneous early terminationof pregnancy. Materials and methods. Thirty women of childbearing age who had spontaneous abortion and COVID-19 at least 12 months before pregnancy participated in the study. Scrapings from the uterine cavity of women with signs of uterine pregnancy underwent standard histologic wiring and were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Results. The presence of chorionic villi and decidual tissue on histologic samples testified to the onset of pregnancy (implantation of the fetal egg into the uterine wall). Plasmatic impregnation of the endometrial vascular wall and its thickening due to increased sclerotic changes in connective tissue were predominant among pathologic changes. Infiltration of leukocytes indicated the presence of an inflammatory reaction. All samples showed eosinophilic fibrinoid in the decidual tissue, vacuolized cells in the trophoblast, which indicated pronounced dystrophic changes in the chorionic villi. Conclusions. Probably, COVID-19 virus has a damaging effect on the endothelium of endometrial vessels, which leads to impaired trophic and intrauterine development of the fetus. It is possible that the time-delayed effect of the virus on the endometrial vascular wall increases the risk of early spontaneous abortion in women who had COVID-19 within a year before pregnancy.

Background. The angioarchitecture of the kidney, possible variants of branching of the renal artery in the renal hilum, and features of the blood supply to the organ segments are considered. The purpose of the study is to determine the source of segmentation of the renal artery when it is divided into the upper pole and lower pole branches.. Materials and methods. The study examined 124 corrosive preparations obtained at autopsy of humans. Quantitative morphological analysis and 3D scanning of extra-intraorgan arteries regardingthe variants and types of their branching, as well as statistical data processing were carried out. Results. It was found out that the studied type of branching occurs in 15.5 % of cases and has 3 variants of subsequent branching. Depending on the type of branching, 7 to 9±1 segmental arteries were found. As a percentage, the blood supply to most of the kidney segments is provided by the segmental arteries of the upper polar branch. In a smaller volume, blood flows from the segmental arteries (SA) extending from the lower polar branch. Conclusion. Blood supply via segmental arteries from the main renal artery is not excluded. All the results obtained are statistically significant (at p<0.05). Conclusions. Segmental arteries from the upper polar branch are of the greatest importance in the blood supply to various segments of the kidney. The results of the 3D analysis prove that the division of the renal artery and its spatial anatomy depend on the variant and types of segmental artery branching.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Sedentary behavior is highly prevalent among older adults, with adherence to exercise being a major challenge. Exercise offers significant physical, psychological, and social benefits, but enjoyment is a key factor influencing adherence. Technology-based interventions, have shown promise in enhancing motivation and participation, demonstrating higher adherence rates compared to conventional treatments, though challenges like motivation loss and technological barriers persist. This review evaluates active videogames interventions' effectiveness in enjoyment and satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether active video games are superior to other interventions in generating greater enjoyment or satisfaction.

METHODS

: Pubmed, Cochrane, PEDro, SportDiscus, CINHAL, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched from inception to October 2024 to identify randomized clinical trials (RCT) or crossover studies. The primary outcome was enjoyment or satisfaction, assessed using various scales, including the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES), Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), User Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Likert-type scoring scales. Secondary ouFive studies were included in the quantitative analysis.

RESULTS

Five studies were included in the quantitative analysis. The results indicated a significant improvement in enjoyment/satisfaction compared to control groups (SMD: 0.34; 95% CI (0.05 to 0.64); p=0.02; I2=24%), although the size effect was small. Secondary outcomes could not be analyzed due to insufficient data in the selected studies.

CONCLUSIONS

Active video game interventions may improve enjoyment and satisfaction in older adults, but the evidence remains of low certainty.

Published: February 2025

The article considers the Ossetian sector of the Greater Caucasus from the point of view of studying its seismicity and analyzing seismic hazard assessments previously constructed at all levels of seismic zoning (GSZ, DSZ and SMZ). The areas prone to strong earthquakes identified by pattern recognition methods are discussed. The results of the analysis emphasized the high level of seismic hazard of the foothill and mountainous areas of the region. The description of seismic networks that continuously monitor the region is given. The analysis of the most representative earthquake catalog with a unified magnitude scale that was previously created by the authors, and spatial variations of the magnitude of full registration, showed that the level of registration of seismic events in the east of the Ossetian sector of the Greater Caucasus is still worse than in its central and western parts.

Nesse artigo, será realizado um estudo de caso a partir de uma rede de educação infantil (no município de Campinas, no Estado de São Paulo) e com ênfase em um feixe de questões, vinculadas às representações e práticas em torno dos desafios de se viver a laicidade nesse ambiente.  Com base em imagens fotográficas dos espaços reservados à educação de crianças pequenas, além de entrevistas com agentes atuantes nos centros infantis e dirigentes de instituições municipais, pretende-se analisar o sentido das políticas públicas voltadas à formação para a convivência com a diversidade religiosa, crescente na população brasileira de forma geral, inclusive em Campinas. Nossa proposta tem como fio condutor uma dupla necessidade: 1) circunstancialmente, compreender as relações entre o poder público municipal, as Igrejas e as OSCIPs na implementação da educação infantil; 2) de maneira mais ampla, discutir o papel da escola como representação do mundo (especialmente a escola para a primeira infância). Realiza-se, também, o diálogo entre as declarações colhidas pelas entrevistas e a reflexão acumulada na bibliografia acerca de laicidade, compreendida como um conjunto de características alinhadas à neutralidade do Estado frente a todas as manifestações religiosas e à renúncia deste mesmo ente em justificar suas ações com base em argumentos religiosos. A discussão será enriquecida pela contribuição do pensamento arendtiano sobre o papel da instituição escolar. Nas considerações finais, retomam-se os pontos principais da argumentação desenvolvida no texto e apresenta-se um diálogo com os saberes que nos são transmitidos pelos povos originários.
A machine learning based CIDS model for intrusion detection to ensure security within cloud network
Authors: Maurya Santosh , Malik Suraj , Kumar Neeraj , Singh Hare
Published: February 2025

Cloud computing has changed quickly in recent years, and security issues have
become more prevalent. Through the Internet, cloud computing has the amazing
ability to deliver powerful, versatile, adaptable, affordable, and
manageable assets that are always on the go. The potential of hardware
resources is maximized by cloud computing through efficient and shared use.
Data and service availability are challenges raised by a number of cloud
computing difficulties. To improve cloud security for consumers and service
providers, a multitude of security services are required. In order to
provide security within the cloud and prevent load imbalance scenarios, this
study suggests using Cloud Intrusion Detection Systems (CIDS). Cloud
security vulnerabilities include denial of service, scanning, malware code
injection, viruses, worms, and password cracking. If these attacks are not
discovered in time, they might harm the company's finances and image. Our
idea through this work aims to protect the cloud from these types of attacks
and to accurately detect and anticipate them early on. Previous research
projects have noted that when dimensionality reduction is used in
conjunction with data mining (DM), machine learning (ML) techniques have
been proven to perform better. The authors proposed a CIDS by choosing
relevant characteristics using relevant feature reduction techniques, then
feeding this subset of data through the ML tool in order to develop such a
robust model to assure a cloud network. Python and the Scikit-Learn program
are used to simulate the proposed model. Using the KDDcup99 dataset as a
benchmark, the simulation experiment's results were assessed using a variety
of performance assessment criteria, including precision, recall, F-Score,
detection ratio, RoC curve, etc. Our recommended methodology produced
simulation results that were more efficient and on par with a number of
other approaches. It has been noted that the ML-based proposed model was
found to be sufficiently capable of safeguarding cloud-based data by
identifying potentially suspicious user behavior, protecting the cloud
network from threats, and demonstrating superior performance in true
prediction and early intrusion detection, which led to a reduction in
computational costs.

The Soviet sport of high achievements, the success of Soviet athletes at international competitions and Olympiads was a natural result of the state policy of the sports movement. The Soviet government, based on the task of defending the Fatherland in the context of the civil war (Universal Education), for the first time in the history of Russia considers sports issues as a state policy, solving the tasks of educating a healthy generation along with issues of a political and economic nature. The specifics of Soviet policy consisted in the demand for the new government to embody and implement the decisions of the central government in the practices of the local Bolsheviks. Based on socio-cultural and systematic analysis, the author examines the issues of the origin of the Saratov sports movement in the 1920s. In the Saratov Region, the development of the sports movement was carried out not only by the local General Education, but also by local sports related to the sports traditions of the imperial period, and public (Russian Communist Youth Union, Proletkult) organizations. Despite the difficulties experienced by the Saratov Bolsheviks regarding the development of the sports movement in the Saratov Region, the result was not long in coming and was associated with the achievements of Saratov athletes at competitions of various levels.

Authors: Mahatta Afdhalia , Azwar Zainal
Published: February 2025

Artikel ini membahas ijtihad Syaikh Bin Baz tentang hukum poligami. Meskipun madzhab Hanafi, Maliki, dan Hambali berpendapat bahwa hukum asal perkawinan adalah sunnat, ulama Syafi'i berpendapat bahwa itu adalah mubah (boleh). Namun, Syaikh Bin Baz berbeda dan menganggap poligami sebagai hukum asal perkawinan. Untuk memamparkan hal tersebut, data yang dikumpulkan secara keseluruhan diperlukan, yang merujuk pada penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui metode ijtihad yang digunakan Syaikh Bin Baz dalam fatwa beliau mengenai hukum asal perkawinan adalah poligami. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Syaikh Bin Baz dalam fatwa beliau mengenai hukum poligami menggunakan dua model metode ijtihad yaitu dalam hal ini beliau menggunakan metode bayani ialah upaya untuk memahami sumber hukum atau tasyri, yaitu al-Qur'an dan As-Sunnah, dan metode intiqa’i, atau tarjih, adalah membandingkan pendapat para ulama sebelumnya dengan melakukan penelitian ulang tentang bukti yang mendukungnya.

Authors: Lalik Martyna , Dąbrowska Dominika
Published: February 2025

A hydrotechnical structure is a structure with devices and technical installations related to them, used for water management and shaping and using water resources. Special attention should be paid to the properties of the used materials, but also to the impact of water and all accompanying processes. Over the years, geosynthetics are increasingly used as a material in construction, including hydrotechnics. The priority aspect when choosing a geosynthetic material is the approach to fulfilling a specific function, reducing investment costs, ensuring stability and strengthening the structure, as well as ease of installation. Due to their wide range of applications and economic advantages, they have gained the reputation of full-fledged building materials. The article presents the most important possibilities of using synthetic polymers in hydrotechnics. The functions and advantages of individual permeable and impermeable materials were taken into account. Most geosynthetics serve as reinforcement, these are geotextiles, triaxial geogrids, geogrids, geocomposites. These materials are used in strengthening the ground and slopes, separating land, as independent drainage and as protection of drainage systems.

Published: February 2025

The use of gold as a cosmetic and medicinal ingredient has a long history that is still developing. Their introduction into use was based on observing the body’s reaction after treatment with these metals, today their action is based on modern, wide-scale scientific research. Scientific literature presents gold as having anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-aging properties, but its metabolic functions are still under investigation. The development of technology has led to the production of Au in the form of nanoparticles, which results in their greater efficiency compared to standard forms and new applications. The aim of the study was to analyze the composition of cosmetic and medicinal products containing gold available on the Polish market. In addition, an attempt was made to find an answer to the question what forms of gold are most often used by producers of cosmetics and medicinal products. In the period from September 2023 to February 2024, information was collected on cosmetic and medicinal products containing gold available on the Polish market. Information was obtained on 61 cosmetic products containing gold and 10 medicinal products containing gold.

Conclusions Gold is more often an ingredient of cosmetic products than medicinal products. Medicinal and cosmetic products with gold most often contain it in the form of nanoparticles.

The Didactic Potential of Translation in Teaching a Second Foreign Language
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Belousova V.
Published: February 2025

If we consider translation as a specific type of speech activ­ity, then we can assume that material from the first foreign lan­guage can also be used to form translation skills. The paper fo­cuses on the didactic potential of such approach using the exam­ple of specific tasks for Czech language students. The use of English in a traditional Slavic-Slavic translation avoids negative interference from the native language and expands opportunities for positive transfer from the first foreign language. Although there is no theoretical translation course in the curriculum for non-philological students, the involvement of the first foreign language gives an opportunity to demonstrate different ways of translation and evaluate the effectiveness of individual transla­tion techniques in practice. Analysis of actual materials increas­es motivation and plays a facilitating role in the process of learn­ing Czech as a second foreign language.

Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Gudkova K.
Published: February 2025

The article deals with the textual category personification in terms of translating from English into Russian. The process of translating is considered to be a mental process as part of which the communication of the meaning takes place. The difference in semantic packaging of conveyed information in the two lan­guages is taken into account. In particular the article focuses on the textual category of the personification of the subject that is typical of both the English and the Russian languages but in­cludes different semantic subjects. The translation experiment is described, and the findings of the experiment are presented. These findings show the necessity of taking into account the cat­egory of personification while teaching translation techniques. The link of the personification and semantic packaging is shown. And the difference of semantic packaging of personification in the two languages is demonstrated.
From a ‘Strong’ Text of National Literature to a ‘Supertext’ of World Culture
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Razumovskaya V.
Published: February 2025

‘Strong’ works of fiction are located in cultural grids nodes. The information features of ‘strong’ originals provide their vari­ous secondariness, which is the basis for ‘supertext’ creation — unique semiotic object functioning in ‘our’ and ‘their’ linguistic and cultural spaces. The research object is “Don Quixote” by M. Cervantes and its secondary versions which are various transla­tion types results. The study purpose is the description of a center of translation attraction from the standpoint of hermeneutic approach and Bohr’s universal scientific principle of complemen­tarity, that determined descriptive and prescriptive approaches. In heterogeneous field of a ‘supertext’ possessing synchronous and diachronic dimensions are distinguished clusters of second­ary texts with identical semiotic nature. ‘Strong’ secondary texts arise and resonate with a ‘strong’ original and its other ‘strong’ versions and ‘readers’. The conclusion is that an increase in translatability and translatedness of the original, contributing to its survival, takes place within a ‘supertext’.

Published: February 2025

Elevated stress has been widely associated with physical and physiological threats as well as reduced work performance. However, there is still a lack of studies that investigate whether stress influences concurrently physiological and objective work performance. The purpose of this study is to examine whether workers’ level of stress or negative emotional symptoms correlates with their physiological coherence and work performance. Eighteen female operators who reported high severity levels of stress, assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-42) were categorized as the risk group. The comparison group was formed by randomly selecting 18 of 99 female workers who had significantly lower DASS scores. Both participants attended one session of physiological measurement. Their work performance was observed by calculating their cycle time completing a product during five workdays. A significant difference in HRV between the two groups was also found in physiological and work performance measures. The results showed that workers in the risk group obtained significantly lower coherence levels and longer work cycle time than the control participants, indicating that negative emotional symptoms were parallel with physiological coherence and work performance. However, a weak correlation was found between work performance and negative emotional symptoms as well as physiological coherence. Despite the study limitations, our findings support to evidence the more complete picture of how stress affects female worker’s physiology and work performance, suggesting a need to implement effective workplace stress intervention. Further study is needed to be conducted among different group characteristics such as male and occupational settings.
