COMMUNICATIVE ACT OF REFUSAL IN UKRAINIAN LINGUAL CULTURE: PRAGMATIC AND COGNITIVE PECULIARITIES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Golubovska Iryna
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of implementation of the communicative act of refusal (CAR) in the Ukrainian lingual culture, determining of its lingual and pragmatic features. CAR is characterized as a non-cooperative communicative act that can pose a threat to the face of communicators. The main goal of the work is to identify those communicative strategies and tactics, with the help of which the CRA is carried out in the Ukrainian communicative-pragmatic space, to determine their linguistic parameters and to find out those features of the Ukrainian ethnopsychic type that presuppose the choice of the certain communicative strategy and tactics. The research was carried out on the material of the postmodern texts of the famous Ukrainian writer Yury Andruhovych: “Moscowiada” and “Recreations”. Three main strategies used in CRA are being distinguished – implicit, indirect and direct. An implicit rejection strategy involves the use of evasion from a direct answer, changing the topic of conversation, a counteroffer, the use of ironic statements, and interrogatives. An indirect strategy is carried out with the help of the tactics of using offensive expressions and “why-questions”, as well as the tactics of referring to subjective reasons. A direct refusal implies a direct negative response. Among the strategies, the implicit strategy of refusal prevails, which can be explained by the negative politeness of a Ukrainian who does not tolerate violence against his/her will and is good at defending his personal “red lines” to the last. Probably, this lingual-pragmatic feature has its explanation at the deep-thesaurus level of the Ukrainian lingual personality and is conditioned by such a spiritual value of Ukrainians as freedom-loving. Thus, according to Ukrainian folk ideas, freedom is more valuable than money and even life itself; this idea is also confirmed by the Ukrainian paremic material and the psycholinguistic experiments conducted at the time.

La constitucionalidad de la suspensión del régimen de visitas previsto en el artículo 94.4 del Código Civil
Authors: Marín Salmerón Andrés
Published: February 2024

Las dudas sobre el respeto constitucional del art. 94.4 CC han existido casi desde su modificación por la Ley 8/2021. Tras el recurso de inconstitucionalidad 5570-2021 y la cuestión de inconstitucionalidad del Juzgado de Primera Instancia n.º 7 de Móstoles de 22 de marzo de 2022, la Sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional 106/2022, de 13 de septiembre, parece comenzar a aclararlas, pero no sin generar nuevas críticas ni plantear nuevas incertidumbres. Este trabajo no sólo estudia las particularidades del precepto y de la limitación o suspensión del derecho de visitas, sino que reflexiona sobre el texto de la sentencia y su voto concurrente, focalizándose en el principio del interés superior del menor y cuestionando la necesidad real del precepto.
La libre expresión en el trabajo, cláusulas de confidencialidad y de respeto
Authors: Núñez Vargas Javier
Published: February 2024

En las relaciones laborales son habituales las limitaciones en el ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales del trabajador, en atención al cumplimiento de los deberes contractuales y al respeto de la buena fe contractual. Con frecuencia, suelen incluirse en el contrato de trabajo pactos que restringen la libertad de expresión del empleado, como son las cláusulas de confidencialidad y de respeto, prohibiendo a este revelar cualquier información a la que haya tenido acceso en la prestación de sus servicios y emitir juicios de valor negativos contra el empresario. Sin embargo, resulta preciso conciliar estas cláusulas contractuales con el derecho fundamental a la libre expresión del trabajador. Por lo tanto, la controversia no se reduce al rigor de estos pactos contractuales, sino que resulta imprescindible acudir a la doctrina constitucional y a la emanada del Tribunal Europeo de Derecho Humanos.

Published: February 2024

Epileptic psychosis is a cerebral dysfunction that occurs or is further classified in temporal relation to the occurrence of a seizure. These phenomena, also called ‘epileptic mania’, can last for days to months, not only increase the caregiver's burden, but also statistically add to the morbidity and mortality of an epileptic patient. Its symptoms can vary and fluctuate from a mild degree of confusion and delirium to a serious thought and perceptual disorder. The prevalence of psychosis increases drastically in patient with temporal lobe epilepsy or refractory epilepsy. Here we report seven such cases that have endangered human life in the form of self-harm or grievous injury to others.
Youth Well-being: Exploring Models and Instruments
Authors: Zanini Daniela , Fernandes Iorhana
Published: February 2024

Well-being is a phenomenon widely studied in the health field. Specifically in Psychology, well-being has been studied from different perspectives ranging from the cognitive evaluation of one's own life to positive functioning at different levels. Considering the different perspectives of studying well-being, this study carried out a scoping review with the objective of mapping the main models and instruments used to evaluate the phenomenon in the adolescent population in the last five years. The publication search strategy used the Periodicals Portal of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), including articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish, peer-reviewed, complete in the databases, with samples between 12 and 18 years old. The main findings of this review indicate a plurality of well-being models that derive from five main approaches, namely subjective well-being, psychological well-being, quality of life, wellness and mixed approaches. The proliferation of well-being models can generate theoretical divergences and conflicting interpretations, which directly impact the generalization of data, compromising the development of health interventions and policies. Also noteworthy is the gap in studies that investigate gender disparities and the nuances of racial and ethnic identity in relation to well-being in adolescence. These gaps suggest the need for more inclusive research that is sensitive to the particularities of adolescents to promote a more complete and effective understanding of well-being at this crucial stage of development.

Whether Stalin was a Fiery Revolutionary, or the Leader's “Creative Response” from the Perspective of the Confrontation of Civilizations
Authors: Khrenov N.A.
Published: February 2024

This publication is a fragment of a planned, extensive and not yet fully published study on the destiny of Russia as a unique civilization. The focus of the study is on the biographies of famous people whose activities have left a significant mark on the history of Russia, including politicians, scientists and artists. The book examines the biographies of F. Dostoevsky, M. Gorky, A. Solzhenitsyn, I. Stalin, L. Gumilev, A. Tarkovsky, and others. The fragment of the manuscript published in this issue of the journal examines the activities of Stalin. The peculiarity of Stalin's activity is usually associated exclusively with the history of revolution, collectivization, modernization, etc., i. e. it is considered within the boundaries of the national political history and the named processes. The attention of those writing about Stalin is entirely determined by the Russian revolution of 1917 as one of the most significant events of the twentieth century and its consequences that determine the construction of a new society and state. However, there is a need – and it arises precisely in the first decades of the 21st century – to try to understand the leader's activity at the level of the problem identified by S. Huntington in the title of one of his books, i. e. as “the clash of civilizations”. In other words, the leader's activity can be viewed not in the context of the history of the revolution and the history of the Soviet state with their inherent positive and negative manifestations, but in the context of history as the history of civilizations, i. e. in the paradigm set by historians such as, for example, A. Toynbee. The conclusions and conclusions made by the author in this article are not taken in order to divert from Stalin all the criticism against him that has taken place since the era of the thaw and the subsequent thaw – perestroika. But this does not negate the significance of the creative response given by the leader to those Challenges that could have been dramatic for Russian civilization at that time. However, by giving such a “creative response” at that time, the leader did not solve the questions for the rest of his life at all. That time has passed, and Russia is again facing Challenges. It is up to us to give new creative responses to them, and we would like them to be correct.
On the Significance of One Periodical for the History of Philosophical Generations in Russia
Authors: Pavlov A.V.
Published: February 2024

The article is a reflection on the topic of “philosophical generations” in Russia. The author begins by saying that if it is difficult to talk about generations in general, it is difficult to talk about “philosophical generations” at all. Therefore, he focuses on describing his experience with academic philosophy in Russia. The author devotes a special place to the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University, the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences and most importantly to the journal Logos. Using the latter as an example, the author shows how in Russia over the past fifteen years humanities science in general (and philosophy in particular) has been conquering new spaces and coming closer to equal the level of world research.
Cynically I Look at Our Generation
Authors: Antonovsky A.V.
Published: February 2024

The article contains spontaneous reminiscences about the formation of the first Russian student generation at the Faculty of Philosophy of Lomonosov Moscow State University (1991–1996). This philosophical generation found itself in the most difficult situation of the 90s, the collapse of the USSR, the devaluation of most of all the spiritual and material foundations of life. As a paradoxical result, it can be stated that the first free philosophical generation, for the most part, was formed as more oriented not so much towards scientific or philosophical, as towards political, economic and mass media success and made its small contribution to the generation of the current stagnant state of socio-political life in the country. Nevertheless, it has given rise to several bright names that today define the face of the current philosophy of Russian philosophy.

An Anthropological Approach to the Soviet Philosophical Generations. (Book Review: Philosophical Generations / The author of the idea., comp. and ed. by Yu.V. Sineokaya. – M.: Publishing House YASK, 2022. – 1232 p., ill.)
Authors: Makarenko V.P.
Published: February 2024

The article analyzes a collective monograph edited by Yu.V. Syneokaya, dedicated to the Soviet and post-Soviet philosophical generations of the 1920s–2010s. Based on this factual and methodological material, the author develops his own interpretation of this process. The author proposes to turn Weber's idea of dissident minorities into the main subject of political and philosophical analysis of Soviet and post-Soviet philosophy. To do this, he conceptualizes the political and philosophical stratum of the Sixties and emphasizes the importance of the idea of the essential controversy of the thesaurus of philosophical and ideological concepts. Based on his own life and research experience, the author expresses and substantiates the hypothesis: the axiological sphere of personality is formed before its logical-epistemological sphere and determines many subsequent choices; conflicts occur within generations, not between them. Therefore, it is much more interesting to study the range of differences between generations and individual biographies, especially the measure of resistance that an individual is able to develop and implement in relation to all supra-individual values, collisions and situations.
Vpliv pandemije Covid-19 na turistični obisk v Mariboru v letu 2020 in 2021
Authors: Horvat Uroš
Published: February 2024

Avtor ugotavlja, da se je turistični obisk v Mariboru pred pandemijo močno povečal in dosegel vrh leta 2018 s 466 tisoč nočitvami in 2019 z 218 tisoč turisti. V letu 2020 in 2021 je bila turistična dejavnost zaradi pandemija Covid-19 podvržena različnim omejevalnim ukrepom, ki so bili sprejeti na globalnem in državnem nivoju in turistični obisk se je močno zmanjšal. Število turistov je v Mariboru v letu 2020 doseglo le 33 % iz leta 2019 in je bilo z okoli 72 tisoč manjše kot pred letom 1964 ter manjše kot v obdobju med letoma 1991-2007. Nekoliko manjše je bilo zmanjšanje pri številu nočitev, ki je v letu 2020 doseglo 43 % nočitev iz leta 2019. K zmanjšanju je prispeval predvsem upad obiska tujih turistov, še posebej iz bolj oddaljenih držav in izven Evrope. V letu 2020 je največ turistov obiskalo Maribor iz držav v radiju oddaljenosti okoli 300- 700 km iz katerih so prihajali predvsem turisti z osebnimi avtomobili, saj se jih je večina iz varnostnih razlogov odločala predvsem za krajša in bližnja potovanja.

Sole litu, karbamazepina i kwas walproinowy nie powinny być stosowane w pierwszym trymestrze ciąży. Stosunkowo bezpieczne są w tym okresie trójpierścieniowe leki przeciwdepresyjne. Haloperidol również nie wywołuje uszkodzeń płodu. Redukcja dawki pod koniec ciąży pozwoli uniknąć objawów zatrucia i objawów odstawienia u noworodka. U zdrowych niemowląt korzyści związane z karmieniem piersią wydają się ważniejsze niż możliwe zagrożenie związane z działaniem trójpierścieniowych leków przeciwdepresyjnych, a także z działaniem soli litu. Niewiele wiadomo natomiast o skutkach działania znajdujących się w mleku matki takich środków jak inhibitory zwrotnego wychwytu serotoniny, leki przeciwpsychotyczne czy karbamazepina. Wnioski. Wskazane jest stosowanie leków o udowodnionej skuteczności i znanych efektach ubocznych (a więc substancji dłużej znanych niż wprowadzonych ostatnio). Zalecana jest terapia jednym lekiem podawanym w najniższych efektywnych dawkach. Psychoterapia i elektrowstrząsy mogą być alternatywą dla leczenia farmakologicznego.

Meu objetivo neste artigo é explorar a sobrevivência da tradição expositiva racista do ocidente de exposições coloniais e universais, que expunham o exótico selvagem em relação ao, supostamente, civilizado branco europeu. Para isso tenho como objeto central a Exposição Colonial de Nápoles, a memória produzida (ou não) sobre este acontecimento no site atual do complexo expositivo e suas repercussões contemporâneas em debates sobre o restauro de edifícios da antiga Exposição Colonial. As questões centrais são: como o passado colonial pode ser deixado de fora ao se falar sobre o atual complexo expositivo Mostra d’Oltremare? Como isso ocorre até mesmo em discussões sobre restauração do espaço? O que possibilita esse agenciamento do passado colonial? A metodologia adotada para respondê-las é uma análise documental das fontes e suas imagens na forma de uma montagem, à luz das reflexões sobre pensamento por imagens e montagem de Samain (2012), Bruno (2009) e Warburg (2010).

Authors: Kiatkheeree Parussaya
Published: February 2024

The present pandemic has presented seriously affected not only the daily life but also teaching and learning and it has been seen a long battle for educators including TESOL teachers in Thailand. Working in the field of TESOL, the author experiences the new changing environment where an actual classroom turns into a virtual classroom. All documents and teaching tools prepared (before the pandemic) have been changed into online documents. Undeniably, online teaching can be seen as demanding as teaching staff moving from a space in which they have years of experience to the unknown world of online, remote, and socially distanced teaching. This study aims to identify Thai TESOL staff’s perception towards teaching and learning management affected by COVID-19. It The study revealed that the effectiveness of teaching in the changing context depends on the teachers’ readiness to a new learning technology like online meeting, at the same time, they must be open-minded and concerned that they must adjust their role to fit properly in the context. Even though participants found the significant change in the use of teaching technology in an online environment, interestingly their teaching and learning management remained as it used to be in the normal (onsite) classroom. In addition, the study provides implications for those who would like to create positive learning environment in online situation.
Requirements for information technology application competence for Vietnam agro-forestry students in the time of the 4th technology revolution
Authors: Toan Hua Thi , Hai Trinh Thanh , Kien Do Trung
Published: February 2024

The professional work of today's agricultural and forestry engineers is changing dramatically under the impact of the 4th industrial revolution. In that context, the competence to apply information technology (IT) is one of the core and significant competencies. Therefore, in order for training products to meet the needs of society, one of the problems that training facility for agriculture and forestry industry need to solve is to clearly identify the basic requirements for agro-forestry graduates to meet the basic requirements of IT application competence. Based on theoretical and practical research on the IT application competence of each job position and the trend of employment change in the 4.0 period, the article presents the levels of IT application competence in the agro-forestry industry. On the basis of test results and opinions of experts and employers, the article has proposed the components and required levels of IT application competence for agro-forestry students. The research results, in addition to providing information on the current state of students' IT application competence, are also a good reference source for agro-forestry training institutions to set learning outcomes, develop training programs, and innovate new training methods to promptly provide high-quality human resources for the agro-forestry industry in the context of the 4th industrial revolution.
Image-based sensing of salt stress in grapevine
Authors: Montanaro Giuseppe , Briglia Nunzio , Petrozza Angelo , Carlomagno Antonio , Rustioni Laura , Cellini Francesco , Nuzzo Vitale
Published: February 2024

Grapevine is among the most economically important crops suffering environmental constraints, including drought and salt stress. Although imaging is increasingly used to detect abiotic stress in agriculture, image-based phenotyping in grapevine still needs optimisation. This study presents the RGB-(red, green, blue)-based phenotyping of the early stage of salt stress response in potted grapevine (Aleatico/SO4) irrigated with saline water (100 mM NaCl) for 9 days in contrast with vines irrigated with fresh water. The response was measured using stomatal conductance (gs), net photosynthetic rate (A), transpiration (E), maximum potential photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm), stem water potential (SWP) concurrently with RGB imaging via a robotised platform.The image-based phenotyping of salt-stressed vines employed two sets of measurements: (i) the pixel fraction of specific colour bands (Yellow, Green, Brown and Dark Green) and (ii) the mean pixel value of R, G and B and other RGB-based colorimetric indexes. Results show that the responses of gs, A, E, Fv/Fm were closely related to increasing soil electrical conductivity (EC) and that imaging could detect the EC threshold of approx. 4 dS m-1 causing a ~60 % decrease in these physiological traits compared to the pre-stress level. The SWP declined to about –0.7 MPa at the end of the experiment. The change of the relative pixel fraction of Dark Green to increasing EC has been analysed within a dose-response context, showing that a decrease of 1 % of the Dark Green colour band corresponded to the 4 dS m-1 EC threshold. This study also examined the use of the mean pixel value of the R, G and B channels as proxies of EC along with new RGB-based indexes resulting from the rearrangement of original R, G and B mean pixel values. Results show the suitability of the mean pixel value of R and Coloration Index [(R-B)/R] to serve as predictors of EC (R2 >= 0.80).

We developed an ovarian cancer-targeted drug delivery system based on a follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) peptide. The lipophilic chemotherapeutic drug SN38 and the photosensitizer IR820 were loaded into the phospholipid bilayer of liposomes. Near-infrared laser irradiation stimulated the generation of reactive oxygen species, causing short-term reactive molecular species and spatial-temporal restricted photodamage to the biological targets. The reactive molecular species and spatial-temporal restricted photodamage enhanced the release and uptake of chemotherapy drugs and increased the sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs in ovarian cancer cells. FSH liposomes loaded with SN38 and IR820 (SN38/IR820-Lipo@FSH) were prepared using thin-film hydration-sonication. FSH peptide binding was analyzed using 1H NMR spectrum and Maldi-Tof. The average size and zeta potential of SN38/IR820-Lipo@FSH were 105.1 ± 1.15 nm (PDI: 0.204 ± 0.03) and −27.8 ± 0.42 mV, respectively. SN38/IR820-Lipo@FSH exhibited good drug-loading properties and the in vitro release was slow. FSH significantly increased the uptake of liposomes, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced apoptosis in A2780 cells. Moreover, SN38/IR820-Lipo@FSH exhibited good tumor-targeting ability and anti-ovarian cancer activity in vivo. The SN38/IR820-Lipo@FSH exhibited specific targeting to A2780 ovarian cancer cells. The combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic treatment based on an FSH peptide-targeted delivery system may be an effective approach to treating ovarian cancer.

Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are at high risk of impaired development. Contributing causes include inadequate intake of specific nutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and lack of adequate stimulation. We conducted a pilot study assessing developmental and nutritional changes in children with SAM provided with a modified ready-to-use therapeutic food and a context-specific psychosocial intervention in Mwanza, Tanzania. We recruited 82 children with SAM (6-36 months) and 88 sex- and age-matched non-malnourished children. We measured child development, using the Malawi Development Assessment Tool (MDAT), measures of family and maternal care for children, and whole blood PUFA levels. At baseline, the mean total MDAT z-score of children with SAM was lower than non-malnourished children; -2.37 (95% confidence interval: -2.92; -1.82) as was their total n-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels. After 8 weeks’ intervention, MDAT z-scores improved in all domains, especially fine motor, among children with SAM. Total n-3, and EPA levels increased, total n-6 fatty acids decreased, and DHA remained unchanged. Family and maternal care also improved. The suggested benefits of the combined interventions on developmental and nutritional status of children with SAM will be tested in a future trial.

Authors: Chen Yan , Wang Qing-Wen , Xie Lv-Ming
Published: February 2024

Dual quaternions have wide applications in automatic differentiation, computer graphics, mechanics and others. Due to its application in control theory, the matrix equation AXB=C has been extensively studied. However, there is currently limited information on matrix equation AXB=C over the dual quaternion algebra. In this paper, we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the dual quaternion matrix equation AXB=C, and present the expression for the general solution when it is solvable. As an application, we derive the ϕ-Hermitian solutions for the dual quaternion matrix equation AXAϕ=C, where the ϕ-Hermitian extends the concepts of Hermiticity and η-Hermiticity. Lastly, we present a numerical example to verify the main research results of this paper.

Authors: Coccia Mario
Published: February 2024

Artificial intelligence and Quantum science supports path-breaking technologies for main technological change. The investigation goal of this study is to examine their scientific and technological development to explain drivers of these disruptive technologies. Analyses of data, based on publications and patents in quantum science and artificial intelligence, with a technometric model show that that quantum science and technology has a growth rate of 1.07, artificial Intelligence ha a rate of growth of 1.37, whereas the interaction of quantum science and artificial intelligence generates a convergent technological trajectory that has an accelerated rate of growth of 1.58, higher than trends of these technologies taken individually. These findings here clarify one of the fundamental determinants of the evolution of path-breaking technologies that can support decision making of policymakers, technology analysts and R&D managers to direct R&D investments towards fruitful inter-relationships between radical technologies that foster scientific and technological change in knowledge economies.

Published: February 2024

Water reuse is critical to national development, sustenance, and survival in this era of climate, demographic, and social changes. There is no national systemic approach to address the challenge systematically. The paper presents a framework and a method to develop a national research strategy for water reuse. It presents an ontology of water reuse strategy that encapsulates the combinatorial complexity of the problem clearly, concisely, and comprehensively. Subsequently, it discusses the method to use the framework to develop a national strategy, adapt it through feedback and learning, and ultimately effect a revolutionary change in the strategy for water reuse.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide healthcare problem. Multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) have the ability to spread quickly owing to their resistance mechanisms. Although colonized individuals are crucial MDRO dispensers, colonizing microbes have the potential to turn pathogenic under certain conditions, leading to symptomatic infections in carriers. Carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are among the most important MDRO involved in infections and colonizations, associating with multiple resistance mechanisms and virulence factors, causing infections with severe outcomes. All research papers identified in the most comprehensive online databases which contained information related to the topic of this article were analyzed, and relevant data was extracted and included. The first information on CPE could be traced back to the mid-2000s, but pertinent data for many African countries was established in the past 5-8 years. Information is presented chronologically for each country. Although no clear conclusions could be drawn for some countries, it was observed that CPE colonizations are present in most African countries and carbapenem-resistance levels are rising. The most common CPE involved are Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, and the most prevalent carbapenemases are NDM-type and OXA-48-type enzymes. Prophylactic measures, such as screening, are required to combat this phenomenon.
An Analysis of the Basic Principles of Relativity and the Elaboration and Demonstration of Different Space-Time Concepts
Authors: Zhao Shandong , Luo Jianshu
Published: February 2024

Through a brief analysis of the basic principle of relativity, it is found that there is a contradiction in principle between general relativity and special relativity in solving the specific problem of the clock moving around the earth, and one of them must be wrong. Through comparative analysis of five physical phenomena and experiments, it is proved that there are serious problems in the space concept of relativity theory and classical physic. At the same time, the different concept of absolute airspace is further expounded and demonstrated, and the related space-time physical phenomena and experiments are perfectly explained by this concept. According to this idea, a new time transformation relation is deduced and its correctness is demonstrated. It is proved that the principle of special relativity and special relativity are wrong, and a series of physical laws and physical explanations generated by special relativity may also be wrong, and a series of amendments or new interpretations need to be made.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis are two of the most widespread metabolic disease in the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of DM among patients affected by osteoporosis and fragility fractures, and to search differences in clinical features. Methods: 713 patients belonging to CTO Bone Unit because of osteoporosis and fragility fractures were divided into two groups, according to the diagnosis of DM. The clinical and bone characteristics of patients were compared. Results: Prevalence of DM was 10.8%. When compared to patients without DM, the median age at the time of first fracture was similar (72 years ± 14 IQR vs 71 years ± 12 IQR); prevalence of combination of vertebral and hip fractures was higher (p=0.039), as well as prevalence of males, although not significantly (p=0.051). Bone mineral density (BMD) at all sites was higher in DM group; Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), instead, was significantly lower (p<0.001). Conclusions: Patients with fragility fractures and DM more frequently show combination of major fractures with higher BMD levels. In these patients, TBS could be a better indicator of bone health than BMD and therefore should be used as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice.
