 Patient-based training is difficult in ear reconstruction surgery; therefore, costal cartilage models are required for surgical education and pre-operative simulation. Here, we aimed to fabricate personalized models with mechanical and structural similarity to native costal cartilage to simulate ear reconstruction in microtia patients. To achieve this, the stiffness, hardness, and suture retention ability of both native costal cartilage and printed silicone were experimentally examined in vitro. Rheological tests and three-dimensional (3D) comparison methods were used to evaluate the printing ability and outcomes. The printed silicone models were used by residents to practice ear framework handcrafting during ear reconstruction surgery, and the residents’ learning curves were analyzed. In addition, the models were used for pre-operative simulation to study and optimize the surgical plan. The results showed that the consistency of mechanical properties within cartilage and silicone was verified. Printable silicone had good shear-thinning properties, and the printed structures had almost perfect printing fidelity. Residents who used printed silicone models enjoyed great progress and confidence after training. The pre-operative simulation optimized the carving scheme, reduced trauma in the operative site, and avoided wasting necessary cartilage tissue. Overall, fine-fidelity models created in this study were intended for surgical education and pre-operative simulation by applying 3D-printable (3DP) silicone, facilitating the optimization of surgical plans. Surgeons were satisfied with this kind of model and recognized the efficacy and great application value of 3D-printed silicone models for clinical practice.

Published: August 2023

Melt electrospinning writing (MEW) is a promising three-dimensional (3D) printing technology that enables the creation of scaffolds with highly ordered microfibers. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is an ideal material for MEW scaffold fabrication due to its exceptional printability. However, its low cellular affinity can hinder its performance in bone tissue engineering. This study aimed to explore the potential of NaOH treatment as a means of enhancing the cytocompatibility and osteoinductive properties of PCL scaffolds. After modification with a NaOH solution, the physiochemical properties of the MEW PCL scaffold were analyzed. The surface of the scaffold was found to have nanopits and nanogrooves, which differed from the smooth surface of the PCL scaffold. Atomic force microscopy and automatic water contact angle assays revealed an increase in surface roughness and wettability, both of which were found to be beneficial for cell proliferation and adhesion. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the NaOH-treated surface was able to induce osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) via the integrinα2/β1-PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which had not been previously observed. The study involved implanting PCL scaffold to repair a cranial defect. After 1 and 3 months of implantation, histological analysis and micro-computed tomography scans showed a higher amount of newly formed bone on the NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds compared to the PCL scaffold. The study concluded that NaOH treatment was a simple and effective way to enhance cellular affinity and osteoinductive property of MEW PCL scaffold. This strategy may provide a cost-efficient method for promoting bone regeneration.

Impact of Headteachers' Leadership Styles on Teachers' Job Performance in Sagnarigu Municipality in Northern Region of Ghana
Authors: Sarah Mahamudu , Iddrisu Bariham  , Joseph Yaw Dwamena Quansah
Published: August 2023

Teachers' productivity and job performance in educational settings are significantly dictated by several factors, including the leadership styles employed by headteachers in the governance of schools. However, there is an ongoing debate among scholars in educational management as to which school governance style is the most effective and can facilitate high productivity among teachers. This research was therefore carried out to explore the effects of headteachers' leadership styles on the job performance of junior high school teachers in Sagnarigu Municipality in Ghana's Northern Region. The research adopted cross-sectional design informed by three research questions. Out of 82 schools, Yamane (1967) formula for sample size determination was used to randomly sample (N = 68 school heads) to complete a Questionnaire for Headteachers' Leadership Style (QHLS). Using Cronbach alpha formula, the reliability of the items on the questionnaire was validated. The Standardized Lesson Observation Scale (SLOS) was used to observe the instructional quality of 40 teachers. The study found excellent performance of teachers in quality lesson delivery with female teachers out-performing the males. Also, the sampled schools had more male teachers than females. The democratic leadership style was the most frequently used by headteachers with autocratic leadership approach being the least utilized. There was no statistically significant relationship between headteachers' leadership styles and job performance of teachers. The demographic characteristics of headteachers have no statistically significant influence on their leadership styles. The study recommends recruitment of more females as headteachers, capacity building for heads of schools, and periodic organization of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programs.
Fontenoy and the Justification of Battle-Seeking Strategy in the Ninth Century
Authors: Flynn Christopher P.
Published: August 2023

Abstract The Carolingian civil war of 840‐843 is often defined by two major events, the indecisive but costly Battle of Fontenoy (841) and the Treaty of Verdun (843), which ended the conflict. The nachleben of Verdun has been the subject of painstaking scrutiny
in the context of the formation of new polities out of the formerly unified Carolingian Empire. Arguably, however, Fontenoy may have impacted the minds of contemporaries even more than Verdun, because the division of kingdoms among royal sons was traditional Frankish practice. The present
study examines the effect of Fontenoy upon royal campaign strategies through an analysis of the ways in which Carolingian kings, authors, and churchmen justified battle-seeking or battle-avoidance strategies. The study investigates four major conflicts: the Battle of Fontenoy and its aftermath;
the invasion of Charles the Bald’s kingdom by Louis the German in 858; the invasion of Lothar II’s erstwhile middle kingdom by Charles the Bald after the death of Lothar in 869; and the Battle of Andernach in 876.

Abstract: Gabriella Zuccolin (Ph.D., Salerno), Andrew W. Mellow Fellow at the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, and Martin Marafioti (Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University), Professor at Pace University in the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, have collaborated
to bring readers a translation of Michele Savonarola’s vernacular Italian manual bearing the Latin title, De regimine praegnantium et noviter natorum usque ad septennium, or Regimen for Pregnant Women and Newborns up to the Seventh Year, which they have introduced, translated,
and annotated. For the new book publication, they have given Savonarola’s work an accurately descriptive title in English: A Mother’s Manual for the Women of Ferrara: A Fifteenth-Century Guide to Pregnancy and Pediatrics. Their work contributes to the increasingly rich academic
literature on medieval and early modern medicine, midwifery, maternity, and the realities of the childbearing year, including the care of the newborn. Their work can be greatly appreciated in relation to work of cultural and medical historian Monica Green on the medieval midwife-physician
Trotula of Salerno and her treatise, called The Trotula, as well the work of other scholars of medieval and early modern medicine.

Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: August 2023

Abstract: I could count with the fingers of my hand how many non-German medievalists there are who know of Ulrich Fuetrer and, moreover, who might have read his version of the traditional Yvain/Iwein story, originally composed by Chrétien de Troyes and rendered
into Middle High German by Hartmann von Aue. Fuetrert, professionally a painter/artist at the Munich court of Duke Albrecht IV, had turned into a prolific author drawing from a wide range of medieval romances which he recreated during the 1480s and 1490s in his massive Buch der Abenteuer.
Granted, a number of German medievalists have engaged with his texts, but Fuetrer proves to be really an unknown entity outside of the German-speaking world of scholarship. But his Iban, directly based on Hartmann’s version, constitutes an important witness of the reception process
of this romance far into the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Heinz Thoelen and Bernd Bastert published a good critical edition of this romance in 1997, and medievalists such as Hans-Joachim Behr (1986), Thomas Bein (1998), Wolfgang Harms (1974), Hans-Georg Maak (1967), Rudolf Voß
(1994), and Horst Wenzel (1986) have contributed to the better understanding of Fuetrer’s works.

Published: August 2023

Abstract: The Old French Vie des Pères (First Collection) was one of the highly popular religious collections of late medieval religious narratives. The First Collection, consisting of the first 42 tales, dates from ca. 1215 and 1230. The following 32 tales
have survived in two groups, the first being the Second Collection consisting of 19 tales from after 1241, and the Third Collection, consisting of the final 13 tales, from ca. 1250. Adrian P. Tudor had re-published the first group in 2005, and Paul Bretel now presents a modern French translation.
All these tales go back, of course, to the late antique Vitae Patrum and present the glory and heroism of the early Desert Fathers, offering many insights into their lives and personal experiences in practical and spiritual terms (hermits or cenobites). There are, however, numerous
references to the contemporary monastic situation, giving particular credit to the Cistercians. Altogether, the Vitae Patrum

Abstract Many times, recent scholars tend to approach their topics as if they were ex ovo. In reality, medieval research in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has carried out profound, far-reaching, and often seminal scholarship, often in German, French,
or Spanish, which Anglophone researchers tend to ignore, often simply because they have no longer the command of any of those languages, not even to speak of Latin as the basic language of their sources. The present volume constitutes a very pleasant exception to the rule, at least as regards
to the respect for older research, such as the work done by Herbert Grundmann (1902–1970) who had laid the foundation for much of current religious history in the Middle Ages, examining it particularly from the perspective of minority groups such as the beguines, heretics, and mystics.

Abstract Wer würde nicht beim Mittelalter zuerst an die Kreuzzüge denken, eines der bewegendsten, wechselhaften militärischen Ereignisse der gesamten Epoche? Korrekt wäre es aber, den Plural zu benutzen, denn vielfache Feldzüge wurden unternommen,
und diese nicht nur auf das Heilige Land gerichtet, sondern auch auf Nordafrika, besonders Ägypten. Dazu gehört die jahrhundertelange Reconquista auf der iberischen Halbinsel, und gerechtigkeitshalber müssen wir auch an die Eroberungsbemühungen der Araber und später
der Osmanen (Balkan, Ungarn, sogar Österreich) denken, wenn nicht sogar an den Dschihad seitens der terroristischen Gruppe IS (Islamischer Staat) im 21. Jahrhundert.

Abstract Springing from a conference held at the University of Arizona in November 2020, at a time when we all very much felt “imprisoned” in our own homes because of the coronavirus, Incarceration and Slavery has much to contribute to these interconnected
fields. With an impressive chronological span (from early medieval to the seventeenth century), it is expansive also geographically, with chapters centered on Aquitaine, Egypt, England, the Holy Roman Empire, Iberia, Iceland, Italy, the Middle East, and the Ottoman Empire. Although the contributions
are uneven in quality, a number of true gems shine through.

Abstract Viele der Vorurteile über das Mittelalter, die in der Öffentlichkeit vorherrschen, rühren nicht von ungefähr her, sondern sind letztlich das Resultat von einflussreichen Studien, die irgendwann einmal hochangesehene Forscher vorgelegt haben und
die dann meinungsbildend geworden sind, vor allem weil sie gewisse Themen oder Aspekte überaus dramatisch oder binär besprochen haben. Daher rührt z.B. die falsche Meinung über die Einstellung des mittelalterlichen Menschen zum Körper und zur Nacktheit (N. Elias),
die irrige Vorstellung, dass das einfache Volk allein die Freiheit besessen und ausgenutzt habe, über die Herrschenden zu lachen (M. M. Bachtin), oder dass das Mittelalter weitgehend alle Formen des Lachens obrigkeitshalber unterbunden habe (J. Le Goff). Natürlich haben sich manche
theologischen Autoren kritisch gegen Humor und Gelächter unter den Mönchen gewandt, aber eine Schwalbe macht noch keinen Sommer, vor allem wenn es um menschliches Verhalten geht, das kaum jemals unter wenigen strengen Kategorien gefasst werden kann.

Authors: Sayers William
Published: August 2023

Abstract This thorough study is both long overdue and comes from an unexpected quarter. Davy is professor of the history of law at l’Université Paris-Nanterre. The lawman (lgmaðr) of his title and other legal advisors are well known to readers of the
sagas of Icelanders but, as is the case of the master litigator Njáll Þorgeirsson, “Burnt Njall,” it is more as active players in court cases generated by feud than as more elevated and distant patrons of the law as institution. The best-known feature of the office
of law speaker, as he is also known, was to have memorized the entire law code, at the pre-literate stage of this society, and to proclaim one third of it each year at the island-wide assembly over which he presided. This is the first modern study of the office of law man and its author is
uniquely placed, by virtue of his familiarity with the Icelandic and Norwegian material, to trace its insufficiently studied development. Davy is also alert to the possible origins of law in what began in historical time with the settlement, and social and legal organization of an unpopulated
North Atlantic island. As is to be expected, the laws of Norway, where a majority of the settlers originated, would have offered a ready model and there does seem to have been a transfer en bloc of Norwegian jurisprudence. But many of the settler generation would have had experience
of raiding, trading, and residence in the British Isles, particularly Ireland, which had its own large body of jurisprudence, possibly dating from the seventh century. Davy’s project is even more ambitious in that he seeks to discover the very foundations of law, its mythical and legendary
origins, and conceptual underpinning.

Authors: Trompf Garry
Published: August 2023

Abstract Classen has recently edited a fine collection of articles on Incarceration and Slavery in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age (Rowman and Littlefield, 2021), and in this monograph he widens his brief to consider medieval, Renaissance and Reformation ideas
of freedom, and not just as release from prison or enslavement. As he admits, the book addresses “a highly convoluted yet meaningful topic,” so the three distinguished matters are “aspects” of the same subject “closely entwined” (p. 250), which makes it
awkward for the author to follow a simple ordering of the materials. Classen’s chapters reveal how he has gone about untangling the mesh of things. After first considering Imprisonment, he deals with Freedom as a “complex topic through time” from Antiquity to the early Renaissance
(ch. B), and returns to it at the end (in ch. G) in reflect­ing on sixteenth-century Protestant ideas of the Christian’s freedom. Imprisonment in itself, including exile, receives preliminary consideration (especially through the eyes of Boethius, whose Consolatio was an influential
text during the Middle Ages), before slavery is then examined alongside incarceration, as twin devices for removing one’s freedom (pp. 93–99). From there the author takes us into literary and juridical themes of being imprisoned or enslaved (ch. D), through accounts of famous medieval
figures who were prisoners (ch. E), and cases of evildoers punished in prison (ch. F), on to the horrors of early modern enslavement and removal of indigenes’ freedoms in the Iberian conquest of the Americas, as lamented by Bartolomé de las Casas (pp. 232–40).

Published: August 2023

Abstract Despite all the research done on medieval churches and their iconography, some important questions remain conspicuously unanswered. One of these concerns the mean­ing of the sculpted heads found in many churches around portals and windows, on capitals and consoles.
Who and what do these enigmatic creatures represent, and how should their wider message be understood? This is the topic of a small but richly illustrated book written in German by the well-known Austrian historian of medieval mentality and religion, Peter Dinzelbacher. The point of departure,
as is stated on the back cover, is the feeling of being observed by these head-shaped sculptures which often befalls us when we visit medieval churches. The author’s aim, stated on p. 7, is “to present and illustrate the symbolic medieval building sculpture in the city and region
of Salzburg” (all translations by J.K.). Dinzelbacher points at the problem of the widely used term “mask” to describe such sculptures (although it is employed throughout the book, including in the title) as this suggests something that hides a person, where­as these
representations rather seem to represent themselves. Instead, he proposes a French term borrowed from archaeology, “tête coupée” (severed head).

Authors: Vargas Michael
Published: August 2023

Abstract Luigi Andrea Berto produced the now-standard edition of the Istoria Veneticorum, written early in the eleventh century, probably by John the Deacon. He later wrote a prosopography of medieval Venetian elites, and a book returning to John the Deacon exploring
his political and social vocabularies. He has written on the making of history in ninth-century southern Italy, and on Christians and Muslims in the societies of their religious others. Much of his recent work has tackled the problem, in the context of medieval Italy, of the biases and preconceptions
of historians whose present intrudes upon what they might know about the past. He is an experienced and competent scholar. It is unfortunate, then, that the present book seems so misbegotten that readers will likely ignore it.

Abstract Janet Schrunk-Ericksen (Ph.D., University of Illinois), Professor of English and Acting Chancellor at the University of Minnesota, Morris, has written a worthwhile study of Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Junius 11 and key aspects of the five narrative poems within it.
As her title suggests, the five poems might have been considered “the poem”: one poem with multiple parts, by an early reader reading through the book, if proceeding sequentially. Indeed, Schrunk-Eriksen’s book, Reading Old English Biblical Poetry, explores how early
readers may have approached and understood Junius 11, its sequential contents, and its representation of God’s divine power. She pays careful attention to the physical codex as well as to close readings of the poems. Her work emerges alongside an on-going revival of academic interest
in how to read medieval manuscripts, which is similarly demonstrated by Elaine Traherne’s study, Perceptions of Medieval Manuscripts: The Phenomenal Book (Oxford, 2022) and Carl Kears, MS Junius 11 and its Poetry (Boydell & Brewer, 2022).

ON THE ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Authors:   Kazan National Research Technical University A.N. Tupolev, Safargaliev M.F.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the issues of increasing the efficiency of functioning of modern production systems based on the network principles of production organization. The necessity of developing new methods and tools for organizing and distributed production systems is substantiated, which makes it possible to obtain network effects. It has been established that when forming the systemic foundations of distributed production activities, one should take into account the characteristics of a distributed production system, which include: modularity, the need to configure participants recruited into the system for common values and goals, versatility, and coordination. The purpose of this article is to develop methodological aspects of editing and development of distributed production systems in modern conditions in the context of digitalization and clustering of the economy. The properties of distributed production systems create conditions for the formation of flexible organizational structures, which are characterized by: a large number of participants and their heterogeneity; inconsistency of the goals and values of the participants; difficult to predict the activity of participants in time and in the network space, due to a high level of uncertainty; the object of control is a whole group of homogeneous or heterogeneous processes; polycentrism as a decision-making principle in relation to a set of directly unrelated processes; a high degree of interconnectedness and interdependence of participants' decisions. Planning the organizational structure and production processes in a distributed production system should take place on the basis of rational management of the flow of resources, information, energy in the network field of the production system. Analysis of the theory and practice of forming the organizational structure of territorial clusters as an institutional form of functioning of distributed production systems in the Russian Federation allows us to distinguish three levels in its composition: the first level is represented by federal government bodies and state corporations that can initiate the creation of clusters or coordinate the initiative of regional authorities ( business entities), as well as defining strategic guidelines for the development of cluster formations; the second level includes regional authorities, transnational corporations that use tools of direct and indirect influence and are also entitled to initiate the creation of clusters; the third level is represented by “direct cluster management bodies, which can be a management company, a coordinating organization, a cluster council, etc. The study allowed the authors to identify significant transactions between participants in distributed production systems that initiate network effects.

Arctic development is one of the priorities for the country. For this, it is necessary both to develop new normative documentation on standardization and to improve existing norms and standards. The Arctic region is complex in terms of weather and environmental conditions. Environmental loads and actions on hydraulic structures are most important and primarily include impacts from ice. Ice impacts can be of a very different nature and therefore are not fully reflected in the normative documents. The formation of an ice collar is one of the types of freezing on the submerged hydraulic structures. Ice collar is a thicker ice around structure due to the high thermal conduction through the structure. This ice is formed due to the heat flow through the body of the structure and can be calculated. Analytical calculation of the ice collar is difficult to perform, so it is proposed to use a thermodynamic model for numerical simulation.

ON THE CHOICE OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THE CORRECT SOLUTION OF THE BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM OF THE FLOW OF A THIN LAYER OF PLASTIC MATERIAL UNDER COMPRESSION OF A SAMPLE IN THE FORM OF A CIRCULAR SECTOR
Authors:   Moscow State Technological University ", Yanovskaya E.A. ,   STANKIN"
Published: August 2023

The class of flow problems for a relatively thin layer of plastic metal includes most of the practical problems of rolling and forging and stamping production. With the difference that during rolling, rolling, rotary drawing and other similar processes, the deformation zone is localized, and in stamping processes, the entire volume of metal is redistributed in the cavity of the stream, flowing into its various elements, forming the necessary shape of the forging, often the shape is elongated and of small thickness. It is natural to believe that the same mathematical models can be used for the analysis of processes close in kinematics, but in different formulations. The article substantiates the choice of a mathematical model for the theoretical solution of the boundary value problem of constrained compression of a sample in the form of a circular sector based on the results of the experiment. The article presents the results of an analytical study of the boundary value problem of the viscoplastic flow of a thin layer of metal located between thin rough plates moving towards each other. Exact solutions based on the classical formulation in the framework of an "ideal fluid" and "viscoplastic fluid" are given. A real experiment is described for assessing the effect of shear stresses averaged over the layer thickness on the kinematics of the flow of a plastic layer. Comparison of the obtained experimental and analytical simulation results allows us to evaluate the correctness of the chosen mathematical model, which can be used to describe the flows. When designing and introducing into production most high-performance technological processes for processing materials by pressure, not only the numerical values of technological parameters are required, but also the prediction of the behavior of the material during loading. At present, problem-oriented software systems are available based on numerical methods for solving, for example, the finite element method (FEM), various problems of continuum mechanics (MCS). However, without the development of fundamental approaches to the formulation, schematization and analytical solution of boundary value problems, it would hardly be possible to create reliable mathematical models for modern computer systems. Therefore, the further development of theoretical approaches to solving boundary value problems of the MSS is relevant.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignancy with a high incidence and fatality rate worldwide. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most important risk factors for its occurrence and development. Early detection of HBV-associated HCC (HBV-HCC) can improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. Biomarkers are extremely helpful, not only for early diagnosis, but also for the development of therapeutics. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a subset of non-coding RNAs approximately 22 nucleotides in length, have increasingly attracted scientists’ attention due to their potential utility as biomarkers for cancer detection and therapy. HBV profoundly impacts the expression of miRNAs potentially involved in the development of hepatocarcinogenesis. In this review, we summarize the current progress on the role of miRNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of HBV-HCC. From a molecular standpoint, we discuss the mechanism by which HBV regulates miRNAs and investigate the exact effect of miRNAs on the promotion of HCC. In the near future, miRNA-based diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic applications will make their way into the clinical routine.
