Improving the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of Axial Displacement Measurements of Microspheres Based on Compound Digital Holography Microscopy Combined with the Reconstruction Centering Method
Authors: Zeng Yanan , Guo Qihang , Hu Xiaodong , Lu Junsheng , Fan Xiaopan , Wu Haiyun , Xu Xiao , Xie Jun , Ma Rui
Published: April 2024

In 3D microsphere tracking, unlike in-plane motion that can be measured directly by a microscope, axial displacements are resolved by optical interference or a diffraction model. As a result, the axial results are affected by the environmental noise. The immunity to environmental noise increases with measurement accuracy and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In compound digital holography microscopy (CDHM)-based measurements, precise identification of the tracking marker is critical to ensuring measurement precision. The reconstruction centering method (RCM) was proposed to suppress the drawbacks caused by installation errors and, at the same time, improve the correct identification of the tracking marker. The reconstructed center is considered to be the center of the microsphere, rather than the center of imaging in conventional digital holographic microscopy. This method was verified by simulation of rays tracing through microspheres and axial moving experiments. The axial displacements of silica microspheres with diameters of 5 μm and 10 μm were tested by CDHM in combination with the RCM. As a result, the SNR of the proposed method was improved by around 30%. In addition, the method was successfully applied to axial displacement measurements of overlapped microspheres with a resolution of 2 nm.

Published: April 2024

The gut microbiota and its related metabolites differ between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and healthy controls. In this study, we compared faecal volatile organic compound (VOC) patterns of paediatric IBD patients and controls with gastrointestinal symptoms (CGIs). Additionally, we aimed to assess if baseline VOC profiles could predict treatment response in paediatric IBD patients. We collected faecal samples from a cohort of de novo therapy-naïve paediatric IBD patients and CGIs. VOCs were analysed using gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). Response was defined as a combination of clinical response based on disease activity scores, without requiring treatment escalation. We included 109 paediatric IBD patients and 75 CGIs, aged 4 to 17 years. Faecal VOC profiles of paediatric IBD patients were distinguishable from those of CGIs (AUC ± 95% CI, p-values: 0.71 (0.64–0.79), <0.001). This discrimination was observed in both Crohn’s disease (CD) (0.75 (0.67–0.84), <0.001) and ulcerative colitis (UC) (0.67 (0.56–0.78), 0.01) patients. VOC profiles between CD and UC patients were not distinguishable (0.57 (0.45–0.69), 0.87). Baseline VOC profiles of responders did not differ from non-responders (0.70 (0.58–0.83), 0.1). In conclusion, faecal VOC profiles of paediatric IBD patients differ significantly from those of CGIs.
Flexible and Reconfigurable OFDM Implementation in DSP Platform for Various Purposes and Applications
Authors: Chronopoulos Spyridon K.
Published: April 2024

In the modern technological era of sophisticated applications and high-quality communications, a platform of clever strategy and quickly updated systems is needed. It should be capable of withstanding the fastest emerging problems like signal attenuation and hostile actions intended to harm the whole network. The main contributions of this work are the production of an OFDM system (with low cost) that can sustain high-speed communications and be easily adjusted with new integrated code while exhibiting the feasibility of implementing a transmitter–receiver system in the same DSP and demonstrating the holistic approach with the qualitative integration of such an architecture in a warfare scenario. Specifically, in this research, the point of view is toward three facts. The first is to show a method of quick self-checking the operational status of a digital signal processor (DSP) platform and then the pedagogical issues of how to fast check and implement an updated code inside DSPs through simple schematics. The second point is to present the prototype system that can easily be programmed using a graphical user interface (GUI) and can change its properties (such as the transmitted modulated sinusoids—orthogonal frequency division multiplexing subcarriers). Alongside the presentation, the measurements are presented and discussed. These were acquired with the use of an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. The third point is to qualitatively show the application of such a system inside a modern warfare environment and to recommend various potential system responses according to the development of such a platform of reconfigurable implemented OFDM systems. The implementation was performed for two types of systems: (1) transmitter and (2) transmitter–receiver system. Notably, the system acts quickly with a delay of about 1 msec in the case of transmitting and receiving in the same DSP, suggesting excellent future results under real conditions.
A Comparative Study of Physically Accurate Synthetic Shadow Datasets in Agricultural Settings with Human Activity
Authors: Huang Mengchen , Fernandez-Beltran Ruben , García-Mateos Ginés
Published: April 2024

Shadow, a natural phenomenon resulting from the absence of light, plays a pivotal role in agriculture, particularly in processes such as photosynthesis in plants. Despite the availability of generic shadow datasets, many suffer from annotation errors and lack detailed representations of agricultural shadows with possible human activity inside, excluding those derived from satellite or drone views. In this paper, we present an evaluation of a synthetically generated top-down shadow segmentation dataset characterized by photorealistic rendering and accurate shadow masks. We aim to determine its efficacy compared to real-world datasets and assess how factors such as annotation quality and image domain influence neural network model training. To establish a baseline, we trained numerous baseline architectures and subsequently explored transfer learning using various freely available shadow datasets. We further evaluated the out-of-domain performance compared to the training set of other shadow datasets. Our findings suggest that AgroSegNet demonstrates competitive performance and is effective for transfer learning, particularly in domains similar to agriculture.
How Do Developers Influence the Transaction Costs of China’s Prefabricated Housing Development Process? An Investigation through the Bayesian Belief Network Approach
Authors: Wu Hongjuan , Qian Queena K. , Straub Ad , Visscher Henk , Zhuang Taozhi
Published: April 2024

The implementation of prefabricated housing (PH) has become prevalent in China recently due to its advantages in enhancing production and energy-saving efficiency within the construction system. However, stakeholders may not always fully realize the benefits of adopting PH due to the emergence of transaction costs (TCs) in the development process of such projects. This study investigated the strategies for developers to make rational choices for minimizing the TCs of the PH project considering their own attributes and external constraints. A Bayesian Belief Network model was applied as the analytical method, based on surveys conducted in China. A single sensitivity analysis indicated that developers influence the TCs of PH through the following three most impactful factors: prefabrication rate, PH experience, and contract payment method. Integrated strategies are recommended for developers in various situations based on a multiple sensitivity analysis. Developers facing challenges due to high prefabrication rates are advised to reduce the risks by procuring highly qualified general contractors and adopting unit-price contracts. For developers with limited PH experience, adopting the Engineering–Procurement–Construction procurement method is the most efficient way to reduce their TCs in the context of China’s PH market. This study contributes to the current body of knowledge concerning the effect of traders’ attributes and choices on TCs, expanding the application of TC theory and fulfilling the study on the determinants of TCs in construction management.

Published: April 2024

Understanding the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is crucial to comprehending disease progression and the significance of vaccine and therapeutic development. The emergence of highly contagious variants poses a significant challenge to humoral immunity, underscoring the necessity of grasping the intricacies of specific antibodies. This review emphasizes the pivotal role of antibodies in shaping immune responses and their implications for diagnosing, preventing, and treating SARS-CoV-2 infection. It delves into the kinetics and characteristics of the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 and explores current antibody-based diagnostics, discussing their strengths, clinical utility, and limitations. Furthermore, we underscore the therapeutic potential of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, discussing various antibody-based therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, anti-cytokines, convalescent plasma, and hyperimmunoglobulin-based therapies. Moreover, we offer insights into antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, emphasizing the significance of neutralizing antibodies in order to confer immunity to SARS-CoV-2, along with emerging variants of concern (VOCs) and circulating Omicron subvariants. We also highlight challenges in the field, such as the risks of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and shed light on the challenges associated with the original antigenic sin (OAS) effect and long COVID. Overall, this review intends to provide valuable insights, which are crucial to advancing sensitive diagnostic tools, identifying efficient antibody-based therapeutics, and developing effective vaccines to combat the evolving threat of SARS-CoV-2 variants on a global scale.

Dexmedetomidine is an a2-agonist commonly used in veterinary practice. Occasionally, the administered dose of dexmedetomidine may result in insufficient sedation, and an additional dose or drug may be required. The sedative effects of seven different drugs administered at subsequent time points after an initial, insufficient dose of dexmedetomidine were evaluated. Seven adult cats participated in this crossover, blind, randomised study. The groups consisted of two consecutive doses of dexmedetomidine (15 + 10 μg/kg) (DD) or a dose of dexmedetomidine (15 μg/kg) followed by either NS 0.9% (DC-control group), tramadol 2 mg/kg (DT), butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg (DBT), buprenorphine 20 μg/kg (DBP), ketamine 2 mg/kg (DK), or midazolam 0.1 mg/kg (DM). Sedation was evaluated using the Grint sedation scale. In all groups, atipamezole was administered at the end of the evaluation, and recovery was assessed using the Lozano and Sams recovery scales. The DC and DM groups exhibited minimal sedative effects. The maximum sedative effect was observed in the DD and DK groups, while sedation in the DD and DK groups was significantly higher compared to the DC group. Recovery in all groups was uneventful, except in the DM group, where it was prolonged and difficult, although no statistically significant difference was detected. Therefore, insufficient sedation with dexmedetomidine can be enhanced by a subsequent dose of dexmedetomidine, ketamine, or butorphanol, whereas the addition of midazolam reduces sedation and prolongs recovery.
A history of the visualisation of the Hunters’ Palette and a tentative reconstruction of its missing part
Authors: Hendrickx Stan , Förster Frank , Piquette Kathryn E , Eyckerman Merel , Goffin Louise , Meyers Lisa
Published: April 2024

The so-called Hunters’ Palette, one of the iconic objects of late Predynastic times, has attracted much scholarly attention since its discovery in the late 19 th  century. The visualisation of the palette, which is preserved in three fragments dispersed over two museums (the British Museum and the musée du Louvre), has been a long and winding road with many poor and only a few high quality drawings and photos. This has had a strong impact on the appraisal and interpretation of the palette and its figural decoration. Although it seems obvious that detailed observation and documentation is of utmost importance for any in-depth study, this was nevertheless often neglected. Besides an overview of the visualisation history of the Hunters’ Palette, two variants for the possible reconstruction of its missing fragment are also presented.
La Bibliographie de l’histoire de France des lendemains de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à nos jours : le passage progressif de la collection papier au numérique
Authors: Havelange Isabelle
Published: April 2024

Le passage de La Bibliographie de l’histoire de France du papier vers le numérique montre l’intrication complexe de considérations institutionnelles, financières, techniques et humaines. L’informatisation, commencée au début des années 1990, ne concerne au départ que l’outil de production des bibliographes, débouchant toujours sur un volume imprimé. Dès le début des années 2000 est apparue la nécessité d’une visibilité en ligne de la collection, pensée parallèlement à la production imprimée. Plusieurs institutions ont d’abord été impliquées dans le projet. Leur expertise, sans avoir pu mener le projet à son terme, a permis le mûrissement du projet, finalement réalisé grâce à l’entrée en jeu de l’université PSL. L’abandon de la production papier en 2012 a été un moment décisif. Les données de la bibliographie, remodelées afin d’être interopérables et compatibles avec les outils numériques mondiaux, ont permis l’insertion de la bibliographie dans l’univers du web sémantique. La saisie courante se fait désormais en flux continu, visible sur l’interface de consultation publique maintenant ouverte au public. À moyenne échéance, le site de la BHF offrira l’entièreté de la collection ancienne, menant à son terme un important projet patrimonial impatiemment attendu par la communauté historienne. Le site de la

BHF, héritier d’une longue tradition et désormais inscrit dans l’univers du web, continue à illustrer, dans le domaine de la recherche historique, l’essentielle nécessité de la démarche bibliographique.
Document numérique : l’informatique en quête d’un corps
Authors: Bénel Aurélien
Published: April 2024

L’influence de l’informatique sur la pratique des archivistes est indéniable. On imagine moins celle que l’archivistique peut avoir sur l’ingénierie informatique (notamment pour les systèmes d’information destinés aux professions intellectuelles). La méthode, présentée dans cet article, invite le concepteur à laisser un temps les choix techniques en suspens. À travers six points d’attention (identification, description, indexation matière, annotation/ citation, authenticité, révision), elle le plonge dans l’épaisseur historique de la pratique des archives, des bibliothèques, de la philologie, de la diplomatique. Elle le confronte à la matérialité de la page, des feuillets, de leur rangement. Ce n’est qu’au prix de cette plongée que peuvent émerger les choix de modèles informatiques au service, non d’une vaine virtualité, mais de gestes de métier à réinventer.
Faire évoluer la salle de lecture : du pragmatisme au projet global
Authors: Lenègre Florent
Published: April 2024

La salle de lecture des Archives départementales du Morbihan a été inaugurée en 1993, avant que la numérisation et la mise en ligne des ressources généalogiques ne viennent réduire considérablement sa fréquentation. Une réflexion s’engage dès lors sur l’évolution de cet espace qui se décompose en trois phases. Chacune amène à se poser plusieurs questions fondamentales sur l’accueil du public. Une première phase, menée en 2013-2014, a pour objectif d’adapter la salle à sa nouvelle fréquentation et de tenter de résoudre les principales difficultés de fonctionnement identifiées, tout en conservant les caractéristiques architecturales de la salle. Son bilan est globalement positif mais quelques points restent en suspens et plusieurs difficultés apparaissent à l’usage. Une deuxième phase s’ouvre en 2019 avec le démarrage du chantier d’extension du bâtiment. L’étude du plan d’architecte d’origine, conjuguée avec des besoins exprimés en interne et par le public, débouche sur un programme de travaux complémentaires plus légers et pragmatiques mais non moins utiles. Le bilan des deux premières phases fait apparaître la nécessité, pour régler définitivement les difficultés qui demeurent, de ne plus prendre en compte pour ces opérations de réaménagement la seule salle de lecture mais de l’inclure dans l’ensemble plus vaste que forment les espaces d’accueil du public, qu’ils soient physiques ou numériques. Débutent alors les réflexions sur une troisième phase qui se propose de repenser les services proposés aux lecteurs et visiteurs en lien avec ces derniers et de redéfinir leur implantation. L’objectif à terme est de tenter de renouveler notre rapport avec le public, en tirant parti des enseignements de la crise sanitaire.

Published: April 2024

Pour la construction du bâtiment des Archives départementales, le département du Loiret a retenu, parmi les types de marchés publics et les techniques d’achat possibles, le marché global de performance et la procédure de dialogue compétitif. Après avoir défini brièvement ces outils d’achat, le présent article se propose d’expliciter les raisons de ces choix au regard des caractéristiques techniques spécifiques de l’ouvrage à construire et des enjeux en matière de sobriété énergétique, de performance environnementale et de maîtrise des coûts. Il présente aussi un retour d’expérience sur le déroulé de la procédure.
Le rôle de l’architecture dans la stratégie d’élaboration du plan de sauvegarde des biens culturels : l’expérience des Archives nationales
Authors: Coste Patricia , Courselaud Marie , Pommier Hugo
Published: April 2024

Le plan de sauvegarde des biens culturels (PSBC) est un outil réalisé par les établissements culturels à l’attention des services de secours. Bien que l’enjeu se focalise sur la sauvegarde des œuvres ou des documents les plus précieux – parfois même du bâtiment –, la hiérarchisation des priorités ne découle pas directement des différentes valeurs pouvant être affectées aux objets eux-mêmes. Le bâtiment qui les abrite guide en bonne part, la stratégie de sauvegarde qui s’imposera. En effet, le nombre et le type d’objets prioritaires pourront être différents selon les risques évalués, la nature et la complexité du bâtiment, l’étage dans lequel ils sont conservés, les moyens de protection incendie déployés. La compréhension de ces aspects est capitale pour élaborer un plan opérationnel applicable en cas de crise. Les PSBC des Archives nationales de Paris et de Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, bien que similaires dans leur forme, sont spécifiques à chacun des sites, prenant en compte leur particularité et adaptant ainsi les stratégies de sauvegarde.

Le 1 % artistique dans les bâtiments d’archives publics
Authors: Saïe-Belaïsch France
Published: April 2024

Le «1 %» est un dispositif qui consiste à consacrer lors de la construction ou de l’extension d’un bâtiment public, un pour cent du coût des travaux au financement de la commande ou de l’achat d’œuvres d’art conçues par des artistes vivants pour être installées dans le bâtiment ou ses abords. Mis en œuvre à l’origine pour l’Éducation nationale, ce dispositif s’est étendu aux constructions d’autres ministères. Dans le contexte de la décentralisation, il s’est appliqué aux collectivités locales. Ainsi de nombreux bâtiments d’archives départementaux présentent des œuvres réalisées à ce titre. Le «1 %» concerne un vaste ensemble de créations dans le domaine des arts plastiques : peinture, sculpture, tapisserie, nouveaux médias, photographie ou vidéo, design, conception de mobilier, graphisme, signalétique, création sonore, lumineuse ou paysagère. On peut donc découvrir dans les bâtiments d’archives départementales un éventail d’œuvres variées évoquant souvent le passage du temps ou se référant à l’écrit.

Artchives : les bâtiments d’archives et le neuvième art. Une histoire d’amour partagée
Authors: Dollinger Sonia
Published: April 2024

Les artistes de bande dessinée présentent des visions extrêmement variées des bâtiments abritant les archives : elles reflètent celles que nos sociétés véhiculent et les nourrissent tout à la fois. Simple pièce encombrée de documents ou majestueux monument futuriste, les services d’archives sont un élément récurrent dans le discours des scénaristes et dans l’imaginaire des dessinateurs de bande dessinée. Cette présence est un atout auprès du grand public et les archivistes commencent à s’emparer du sujet avec bonheur, montrant ainsi une plus grande proximité avec le neuvième art et avec les préoccupations des publics.

Authors: Salamon Gérard
Published: April 2024

This paper endeavors to follow, from Caesar to Sidoine Apollinaris, the development of the gesture of Scaeva, a cesarian centurion who distinguished himself at the siege of Dyrrachium. If the real character quickly fades away, Scaeva survives until Late Antiquity as a literary exemplum to the extent that he is considered as one of the greatest heroes in Roman history.
Et quid mihi proderat… ? Augustin et le bon usage des arts libéraux en Conf. I-IV
Authors: Lagouanère Jérôme
Published: April 2024

Thanks to the anaphor of quid mihi proderat Book IV of Confessions ends with, Augustine takes stock of his knowledge in liberal arts. However, far from expressing a rejection of the disciplinae, this anaphor paradoxically opens the way to a possible redemption of them, as illustrated by the evolution of Augustinian discourse on the subject from 386 until the writing of the Confessions.
Quidnī dans la phrase latine
Authors: Duhaut Nicolas
Published: April 2024

In this article we will highlight the reasons behind the odd discrepancy in the use of the negative interrogative adverb quidnī, which seems to be avoided by most authors and most of the roman literature, with the notable exceptions of Seneca the Younger, Tertullianus and roman comedy. We will start with a study of the negative interrogative adverb quidnī and its use by Terentius and Plautus as a register marker. Then we will show how quidnī is used as a linchpin in the logical demonstrations of Seneca. Finally, we will attempt to link together various uses of the adverb under a role as a «discursive facilitator » , that is, a conative connective rather than a logical connective.
Le je dans les livres I et II des Confessions I d’Augustin : de la modernité autobiographique à l’effacement du moi
Authors: Bresson Adrien
Published: April 2024

The project undertaken by Augustine is particularly innovative insofar as it puts forth the “ I ” of the author when the literary context was not open to it. Augustine very much inspired those who followed his literary path and created new codes that were later used by other authors. Yet, Augustine’s goals seem to be radically different from his heirs’ and as such, it appears crucial to seek to understand Augustine’s specificity by analysing the ambivalence of his work – which can be understood as autobiographical – and by

confronting it to the very works he inspired.
Variations ludiques dans le Poenulus de Plaute : l’exemple de la scène de la salutatio
Authors: Narvaez Annelise
Published: April 2024

Roman comedy can be defined by the fact that it was played during the ludi ; for this reason, it can be said «ludique » (i. e. that concerns the ludi, but also that is entertaining). This entertaining aspect depends especially on a game on the variation effects. Roman comedy is indeed a performance whose parameters (characters, music, movements, words) are all very codified, but this codification can be submitted to a process of variation : the result should have given to the audience some amusement each time the code was not realized in the expected way. In this paper, we will first go through some examples of this process in the Poenulus that are typical of Plautus’ style. Then, we will focus on this variation effect in the central scene of the salutatio.
Mira textilis arte : Le motif du tissu brodé dans quelques poèmes de l’Antiquité tardive

Among motives of description and ekphrasis in Late Latin literature, the embroided fabric pattern came to be remembered, specially thanks to Catullus. It is a way often chosen by poets because it allows a literary bravura piece. But the embroided fabric also assumes a political function that we will try to explore in this article.
Le rôle du Tibre au livre VIII de l’Énéide
Authors: Ripoll François
Published: April 2024

Aeneid 8 begins with an intervention of the God Tiber without any direct precedent in Virgil’s epic models. This representation of the Tiber is part of a network together with other figures of River-Gods in the last part of the book. A close study of the structural and thematic consistency of this network gives way to an allegorical reading of the whole. The main idea of my investigation is that the mastering of the river is a stake which underpins, as a secondary recurrent motive, the heroic quest of which book 8 brings, in some way, the achievement.
Le brouillage des seuils narratifs au chant VIII de l’Énéide : prolepses, analepses, métalepses
Authors: Rohman Judith
Published: April 2024

Book 8 holds a special place in the course of the Aeneid : it is the only book whose action takes place as the same time as that of another (Book 9). It seems that it escapes present time, or that present time escapes it, and that it always looks either towards the past or towards the future, which results in a great number of prolepsis or analepsis. The narration also suggests that Book 8 moves beyond the limits of the narrative, as if the present had become a vanishing point and the framework of the narrative itself had been overrun.
Le rameau d’or et le ramage des mots (Virg. En. VI, 183-211)
Authors: Tronchet Gilles
Published: April 2024

This paper offers a careful analysis of the episode which narrates in the Aeneid how Aeneas has discovered the Golden Bough. Its aim is not to explain the events and to provide an exegesis, but to exhibit precisely the architecture of the passage, to highlight the numerous similarities between the words and the interlacing of many structures, so that some semantic effects can be deducted. The investigation relies on concepts provided by a recent theory, the «textique » . It reveals a set of correlations, mostly based on analogy, many of which have not yet been mentioned.
P31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy: principles and applications
Authors: Ton That Nam Anh , Nguyen Thanh Thao
Published: April 2024

Phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (P31-MRS) is a non-invasive imaging modality that furnishes pivotal insights into metabolic processes and the phosphoenegertic status within biological entities. Recent advancements in Magnetic Resonance technology, notably within ultra-high field magnetic resonance systems (ultra-high field MRI), have elevated the perceived suitability of P31-MRS due to its enhanced capabilities. Despite these advancements, comprehensive documentation regarding the P31-MRS technique remains relatively obscure and is not widely disseminated among radiologists, radiographers, and clinicians. Therefore, this article endeavors to expound upon the fundamental technical intricacies and applications of the P31-MRS technique.

Published: April 2024

Background: Cholelithiasis is one of the most common digestive disease, a chronic recurrent hepatobiliary disease whose pathological bases are impaired cholesterol, bilirubin and bile acid metabolism. Management of recurrent biliary stones is difficult because of the precense of deepseated intrahepatic ductal stones and ductal strictures, which are often multiple. Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment for recurrence of biliary stone patients.

Patients and Methods: Prospective analyses of the patients of recurrent biliary stones (common bile duct and intrahepatic) at Department of GI Surgery, Hue Univesity of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital and Department of GI Surgery, Hue Central Hospital from 01/2019 to 06/2022. We evaluated the data according to outcome measures, characteristics and treatment results of recurrent cholelithiasis patients.

Results: 52 patients were included into the study, mean age of the patients was 53.6±16.5 years. 44 patients (84.6%) had previous choledocholithotomy and T tube drainage during 24 months. Common bile duct stones were 69.2%, intrahepatic gallstones were 65.4%. Type of surgery included: choledocholithotomy and T tube drainage were 55.8%, left hepatectomy plus drainage were 32.6%. There was no operative mortality. Complication occurred in 13.4% of patients and half the complications involved wound ìnfection. With regard to residual stones after operation by cholangiography, there are 6 patients obviously showed residual gallstones. Follow-up examination during 3-6 months showed 90.1% of patients with good results.

Conclusion: Surgical management of recurrent biliary stones (common bile duct and intrahepatic) were safe and effective.

The time from symptom onset to hospital admission in elderly patients was 30.1 hours compared to 19.1 hours in the non-elderly group. The elderly group had a rate of peritonitis of 40,5% compared to 13.6% in the non-elderly group (p < 0.001). The mean time for passing initial gas in elderly patients was 18,1 hours compared to 13.3 hours in the non-elderly group (p = 0.004). Postoperative hospital stay in elderly patients was 4.7 days compared to 3.5 days in the non-elderly group (p < 0.001). Postoperative complications in the elderly patient group were 2.4% compared to 0% in the non-elderly group (p = 0.222). There were no complications during surgery or 30-day mortality.

Conclusions: Elderly patients with acute appendicitis were hospitalized later, had a higher rate of peritonitis and had a longer postoperative hospital stay than non-elderly patients. Laparoscopic surgery to treat acute appendicitis in the elderly is a safe method.

Key words: acute appendicitis, elderly, laparoscopic appendectomy, appendicitis peritonitis.
В ІГОРЕВІМ ПУТИВЛІ ВИГОРІЛА ТРАВА»: МИХАЙЛО ГЕТМАНЕЦЬ І БОРИС ЧИЧИБАБІН В АНТИТОТАЛІТАРНОМУ ДИСКУРСІ
Authors: Гончарова Ольга
Published: April 2024

Стаття присвячена сторіччю з дня народження двох знаних харків’ян – педагога, історика літератури, публіциста, професора Харківського національного педагогічного університету ім. Г.С. Сковороди Михайла Гетманця (1923-2021) і поета Бориса Чичибабіна (1923-1994). Метою дослідження є порівняльний аналіз біографій обох діячів з фокусом на їх професійній і творчій самореалізації в умовах тоталітарної політичної системи ХХ століття. Комбінація порівняльного методу і сучасного прийому відеомонтажу overlay (накладення кадрів / ефектів на інший кадр), застосованого у дослідницький площині, дозволила не тільки отримати більш повне уявлення про становлення обдарованої особистості в радянському суспільстві, але і спроєктувати його на наше буремне сьогодення – війну в Україні і відновлення тоталітарного режиму в Російській Федерації. У статті розглядаються такі ключові події, як навчання обох діячів у Харківському університеті; багаторічна праця М.Ф. Гетманця у Харківському педагогічному інституті; політика доносів і викривань, що панувала в освітянському середовищі; творча діяльність Б.О. Чичибабіна в умовах громадянської несвободи; політичні репресії і заслання. Особливу увагу приділено світоглядним розбіжностям М.Ф. Гетманця і Б.О. Чичибабіна на факт розпаду Радянського Союзу і оголошення Україною незалежності у 1991 р. У той час як М.Ф. Гетманець підтримав повернення суверенітету українською державою, Б.О. Чичибабін вихід України та інших республік сприйняв як втрату батьківщини, особисту трагедію. Зроблено спробу проаналізувати сімейні, психологічні і літературні чинники, які могли мати вплив на світогляди обох діячів. Звернення до біографій М.Ф. Гетманця і Б.О. Чичибабіна дало привід задуматися і над їхніми індивідуальними життєвими стежками, і над долею цілого покоління, якому довелося жити, любити, творити в умовах тотального контролю держави над особистістю. Історичні паралелі, проведені між радянським суспільством і сучасною Росією вказують на те, що уроки тоталітаризму минулого століття залишилися незасвоєними.
ЖІНОЧІ ОБРАЗИ В «ФЕМІННОМУ», «ФЕМІНІСТИЧНОМУ» І «ЖІНОЧОМУ» КОНЦЕПТАХ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ РОМАНУ Д. Г. ЛОУРЕНСА «ЗГУБЛЕНА ДІВЧИНА»)
Authors: Рогожа Анна
Published: April 2024

Статтю присвячено дослідженню жіночого образу в скандальному романі англійського письменника-модерніста Девіда Герберта Лоуренса (1885-1930 рр.) «Згублена дівчина» (1920 р.). Митець зображує конфлікт сильної для тієї епохи жінки із суспільством із застарілими поглядами на життя, яке пліткує і таврує особистість, яка не підходить до загальноприйнятих критеріїв і норм.

Метою статті є інтерпретація характеру гувернантки Міс Фрост з точки зору феміністичної критики: виокремлення концептів «фемінне», «феміністське» і «жіноче» в цьому образі. У ході роботи було використано комплексний аналіз, а також звернення до теоретичних робіт, які описують дослідження літературних творів на засадах феміністичної критики.

У характері героїні Лоуренса виокремлено «фемінний», «феміністичний» та «жіночий» концепти. Вона хоч і не зорієнтована на кар’єру, але постійно працює задля того, щоб утримувати себе («феміністичний» концепт); також вона займається розвитком власних творчих здібностей («фемінний» концепт); піклується про «чужу» дитину та родину («жіночий» концепт).

Д. Г. Лоуренс зображує соціально сконструйовану проблему – жінка не може побудувати власне життя, бо суспільство соромить її. На думку спільноти, Міс Фрост не мала права зустрічатися і проводити вільний час на одинці з чоловіком, якого вона зустріла; не мала права мати сексуальні відносини поза шлюбом. Так письменник розкриває ментальність представників суспільства, які заради власного самоствердження пліткують про інтимні подробиці життя жінки. Так соціум намагається мати «владу» над жінкою, бо мотив кожного слова і вчинку обертається навколо бажання впливати

Published: April 2024

The article examines the concept of the ethical position of a lawyer and identifies the main directions of its possible research. The task is to determine the moral foundations and professional values in the law enforcement activities of the future lawyer. The results of a pilot experiment comparing the attitude to law (standardized methodology) and the formation of an ethical position (the author's mini-cases identifying latent support for the rule of law) of second-year legal students are given. The predominance of legal realism of the majority of students, but the unwillingness to demonstrate the ethical position of the future lawyer in legal mini-cases, has been established. The conclusion is made about the need for targeted pedagogical influence during training, contributing to the formation of a stable ethical position of the future lawyer, based exclusively on the rules of law.

This study focuses on studying the main factors that have an impact on the adaptation and integration of migrants-students from Turkmenistan. The relevance of the study is related to preventing perceptibility of migrants by a society as “strangers” and identifying factors which block the ways of the adaptation and integration of foreign citizens into Russian society. The research proved that knowledge of the language is a key issue in the socialization of migrants. Ignorance of the Russian language can lead to the emergence of migrant enclaves in megacities, following the example of other countries, which can be used then as a base for radical and extremist activities in the society. The novelty of the study lies, first of all, in the fact that a sociological survey of students from Turkmenistan identified the range of current issuesonce again which are associated with the migration policy of the Russian government. Namely: obligatory knowledge of the Russian language for citizens entering the territory of the Russian Federation, the introduction of the institution of supervision at universities for foreign students, the development of social measures to prevent the emergence of “town houses” consisting of migrants in megacities.

The processes taking place in new dynamic socio-territorial communities - creative localities of megacities are in the focus of the study. At the same time, the object of study was creative urban youth - volunteers and organizers of creative and business projects, as well as young people directly related to the creation of a product. Based on informal interviews, the authors show how the self-organization of creative youth, with the support of the city authorities and the business community, can positively influence the development of urban space, as opposed to the organized involvement of young people in urban projects launched "from above" by the authorities.
