Materials for the biography of metropolitan Parthenius of Laodicea (? — 1704)
Authors: Chesnokova Nadezhda
Published: September 2023

Parthenius, Metropolitan of Laodicea, more often called Parthenius Neboza in Russian historiography, is known as the author of one of the translations into Russian of the post-Byzantine Prediction about Constantinople, as well as a panegyric in honour of the capture of Azov by the troops of Tsar Peter I and his own autobiography in Russian. The texts of Parthenius have long been familiar to researchers. It is generally accepted that Parthenius was a Russian or a native of Ukraine, a traveler in the Orthodox East. During his travels, he helped the Russians taken prisoner, ransomed them to freedom, and performed worship in the Slavic language. Other evidence about the metropolitan, except for what he told about himself, is practically non-existent in scholarly literature. Based on archival documents, the author of this article demonstrates that Parthenius was a Greek by birth, the evidence of the metropolitan’s autobiography is correct, while his consecration to Russian metropolitan sees as well as the origin of the Russian texts of Parthenius require further study. The appendix publishes the autobiography of the Metropolitan.

Authors: Kim Hayeon , Kim Hyo Jung , Park Yang Tae , Kim Jae Seon
Published: September 2023

Background and Aims: In biliary epithelial cells, two bile acid receptors, sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) and Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) have been reported to trigger cell proliferation, as well as neoplastic cell invasiveness. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical significance of S1PR2/ TGR5 expression in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients.

Methods: Patients who underwent surgical resection of extrahepatic CCA at Korea University Guro Hospital between 2002 and 2018 were included. Data on immunohistochemical staining and H-score of S1PR2 and TGR5 were evaluated using digital image analysis.

Results: A total of 115 cases of invasive CCA were analyzed. The H-score of S1PR2 showed a decrease in invasive CCA (p=0.052) but that of TGR5 showed a significant increase (p=0.02). Overall survival and disease-free survival were significantly lower in the low S1PR2 expression group (p<0.05) than in the control group; however, TGR5 expression was not significant (p=0.096). In multivariate analysis, low S1PR2 was only significant for poor prognosis.

Conclusion: Low S1PR2 level was the only independent poor prognostic factor in patients with resected extrahepatic CCA.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVES: PROPAGANDA, WAR, POLITICS OF RECONCILIATION
Authors: LOZNYTSIA Svitlana
Published: October 2023

The article examines three dimensions of the interpretation of both historical and modern war events as they are perceived and undretstood at the level of official propaganda. First, it indicates that consequences of such propaganda are various manifestations of violence, and particular in many cases the emergence of repressive regimes and wars. Second, the article raises the issue of “politics of reconciliation”, the interpretive basis of which is a compromise reading of historical events by participants of conflicts or hostilities. Since propaganda can affect not only interstate relations, but, above all, serve the need for domestic policy formation, the author of the article also pays attention to the interpretation of historical events within a country. In this context, the propagandists explore the idea of “positive reading of one’s own history”, i.e. they are focusing attention on those events that had a positive impact on the life of society. The other leading idea, which is used by propaganda to maintain unity in the state, is the idea of “policy of national unity.” The article concludes about the relevance of study of the phenomenon of propaganda, in particular due to new opportunities developed by modern social media. The author emphasizes the ability of propagandistic interpretations of events to disorient and engage citizens that will largely efect on which political forces a person will support in electoral races. Therefore, there is a need to develop a clear strategy for interpreting the events of history, filtering the mass media space from various manifestations of information distortion. And after all, the process of state formation involves, among other things, the implementation of a number of measures aimed at establishing national unity, i.e. «policy of national unity».
SYMPHONIC COMPOSITIONS IN THE LITERARY AND EPISTOLARY HERITAGE OF HRYHORII SKOVORODA
Authors: KONONENKO Taras
Published: October 2023

The article explores the phenomenon of symphonism in the written and other intellectual heritage of Hryhorii Skovoroda. The study reveals that the conclusion about systemic symphonismbeing a property of the thinker’s reflections can only be hypothetical at this stage. This is due tothe fact that the source base of the present study includes a significant number of diverse works by the philosopher that have not yet received a proper archaeographic description. The matter of archaeographic description of sources in the history of philosophy research in Ukraine has not yet been positively resolved and is still in its formation. This article briefly presents the problematic range of source studies of Hryhorii Skovoroda’s works. It is, however, not limited to the suggested list and tends to expand. With this circumstance in mind, the boundaries of the research were limited to a selection of Hryhorii Skovoroda’s letters to various persons, which is contained in the most representative academic printed edition of his writings available today. The distinctive features of understanding the source heritage of the philosopher include its genre character and the way it was disseminated. All the major philosopher’s works were personally handwritten or replicated by other copyists in lists. This circumstance causes considerable difficulties in verifying the accuracy of the content of the original manuscript source in print. The presentation of the material is intentionally not systematic, but illustrative. The selection of extractsfrom the philosopher’s works contains the most distinctive examples of symphonicity, which illustrate the panorama of the growth of symphonic complexes from simpler to quantitatively more complex. The inherent polemical core of the study is to establish the correspondence between systemic symphonicity and dialogicity of the philosopher’s style of thinking. The conclusions about this could be drawn on the basis of historical and philosophical explication from certain sources. The author suggests that the development of dialogicity is preceded by a thorough justification of the principle of proper thinking by Hryhorii Skovoroda, which has a complex symphonic structure. From this perspective, dialogism does not contradict the fundamental symphonicity, but is rather one of its manifestations.
SATIRE AND ITS METAMORPHOSIS IN THE PERIOD OF ANTIQUITY
Authors: BILOHRYVA Daniella
Published: October 2023

The article considers the question of the study of satire in philosophy. The study found that satire is an underdeveloped topic in the field of Ukrainian philosophy and the philosophy of Englishspeaking countries. For instance, the works of the last five to six years by such philosophers as D. Ab rahams and D. Declercq, who echoed the opinion of C. W. Mendell concerning the close connection of satire with philosophy. In the work “Satire as Popular Philosophy” created at the be ginning of the 20th century Mendell proved that ancient satire was a type of philosophy. Ne vertheless, the issue of the first place of appearance of the genre of satire in the period of Antiquity, whether in ancient Roman or ancient Greek art, needs to be clarified. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to solve a number of related questions, namely: where previously appeared satire as a genre — in Ancient Rome or in Ancient Greece, why it got such a name, and what metamorphoses took place with it over time Antiquities. One of the primary sources about the history of satire was Aristotle’s work “Poetics”, which describes iambic (humorous) and satirical poetry. According to Aristotle, the nature of satiric poetry undergo metamorphosis from the “dance” tetra meter to the iambic meter characteristic of mocking poetry. In this regard, the main part of the work is devoted to proving that satiric poetry got its name from mythological goat-like satyrs and if the performers of iambic (derisive lyrics) could be ordinary people, then the performers of satirical poems — only mythological goat-like satyrs. As a result of the research, it was found that initially the genre called satire had a poetic form and was borrowed by ancient Roman poets from ancient Greek artists. The adopted type of satire received the name “satura”, in Latin meaning “miscellany or medley” of prose and verse form of presentation of the creation.

The lifetimes of photoconductive decay carriers under interband and intraband excitations are studied in epitaxial layers of narrow-gap Hg1−xCdxTe (x ∼0.2). Samples with large distances (>3 mm) between small-area electrical contacts and small distances (∼10 μm) with largearea contacts (THz antennas) are studied. The lifetimes of decay carriers for intraband and interband excitations are measured and compared. It has been established that, in samples with n-type conductivity, the lifetimes are comparable (in the interval of 40 ns) for both methods of excitation. At the same time, in samples with a small distance between contacts and a large area (bow-tie antennas), contacts make the main contribution to recombination. The elimination of recombination at the contacts leads to a lifetime of ∼10−6 s.

Modifiable Comorbidity as a Risk Factor for DRPs and Unimproved NIHSS Score in Ischemic Stroke Patients
Authors: Wardhani Firdha A.
Published: October 2023

Drug-related problems are a common problem among stroke patients due to comorbidities resulting from the complex management of stroke treatment leading to polypharmacy management. Studies show that 90% of stroke patients have drug-related problems (DRPs). However, there is limited information on the impact of comorbidities as risk factors for DRP prevalence and unfavorable prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke. The objective of this investigation was to determine whether risk factors for DRP and clinical outcomes as modifiable comorbidities in ischemic stroke patients admitted to a tertiary hospital between January 2020 and October 2021 were indeed significant influences. The study was conducted retrospectively using a cross-sectional analysis of patient's medical records. The study found no significant association between the presence of comorbidities and polypharmacy in patients with the incidence of DRP, although we found that the DRPs occurrence was found more in a patient with comorbidities and polypharmacy. Diabetes mellitus was found to have a significant association with no improvement in NIHSS scores in ischemic stroke patients. We found that diabetes mellitus patient had an increased risk of non-improvement NIHSS score 2,987 times compared to patients without diabetes mellitus. The second increased risk was the presence of comorbid hypertension (OR 1.352), the third was the occurrence of polypharmacy (OR 1,175), and the fourth was dyslipidemia (OR 1.138).

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a relatively common finding. There has been growing recognition of the morbidity and adverse prognosis of severe TR, which affects 1.6 million people in the US. However, symptomatic TR remains undertreated despite emerging therapeutic modalities. In this review, the pathophysiological and epidemiological features of TR are examined and the diagnosis, natural history, and clinical presentation are discussed. An overview of TR therapy is provided, including medical and surgical treatments, as well as novel percutaneous approaches. The currently available studies on percutaneous therapy demonstrate promise for transcatheter valve repair and replacement with favourable clinical outcomes and short-term durability. However, further study is needed.

Published: September 2023

In this paper, we present the experimental results obtained and corresponding inverse analysis employed to determine the amplitude-dependent damping properties of laminates made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP). Free damped vibration tests of cantilever beams with different symmetric stacking sequences were performed. Logarithmic decrement analysis was used to evaluate the effective amplitude-dependent loss factor of the samples. Inverse analysis was used to find the single-ply dynamic properties based on the laminated beam theory and the complex moduli approach. It was found that the loss factors of GFRP laminates almost linearly depend on the maximum strain amplitude. The maximum value of the loss factor of unidirectional ply was realized in the transverse direction to the fibers and reached ~ 0.023 for strain amplitudes up to 0.1% in the frequency range of 20-60 Hz.

Authors: Liashenko A. V. , Zorina-Sakharova K. Ye.
Published: September 2023

The communities of benthos invertebrates occurring in various biotopes of the water bodies, watercourses, and coastal zone of the Kiliya delta of the Danube
River were distinguished based on the similarity of their species composition. It has been found that mainly water salinity is responsible for the formation of their physiognomy and hierarchic organization in the Kiliya delta of the Danube River, whereas the types of bottom sediments and the types of water bodies are responsible for the formation of their components. The levels of hierarchic
organization of benthos communities are as follows: the lowest level is formed by primary mosaic communities occurring in various water bodies and on various
types of bottom sediments, the next level is formed by the united communities distributed on various types of bottom sediments in fresh or brackish water bodies, whereas the highest level is formed by the communities of the Kiliya
branch and the Danube River delta on the whole. It has been shown that the discreteness and continuality of benthos communities in the Kiliya delta of the Danube River are formed due to the development of both fresh and brackish species.

Sustainable drainage to address Zika and lack of drainage in favelas, Brazil: community perspectives
Authors: Charlesworth S M , Kligerman D , Warwick F , Blackett M
Published: September 2023

The 2015 Zika virus outbreak in Brazil established that neonate microcephaly was related to maternal infection by the virus during pregnancy, the highest densities of which occurred in the northeast and southeast of Brazil, the country’s most populated areas. These areas are typically associated with informal settlements or favelas which lack effective water management, sanitation and drainage, hence providing suitable breeding environments for the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the Zika virus vector. This paper reports on a novel study of community perceptions around the potential for Sustainable Drainage Systems to provide a means of reducing areas for the mosquito to breed, and hence reduce Zika infections in favelas. Interviews were carried out with key external stakeholders working with favelas and members of the favela community. Poor management of water supply, drainage and solid waste were clearly emphasised by participants illustrating gaps in current research connecting these areas. Participants proposed that only a holistic approach could address sanitation issues, hence the distribution of Zika-carrying mosquitos, subsequent infections and microcephaly. An approach was therefore needed taking account of the environment as a whole, increasing public awareness of sanitation and environmental health, improving sanitation infrastructure and providing adequate systems for solid waste management.

Published: September 2023

The subject of the present research is the assessment of access of residents of Northern cities to energy produced from renewable energy sources (RES). The largest Arctic cities in Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the USA and Canada, located above 66 ° 33 ´ North latitude, are analysed. The importance of the study is due to the categorisation of access to RES as a fundamental good in the context of Sustainable Development Goals and fight against climate change. The work uses the index method, followed by ranking cities by the level of access to energy from RES. The following variables constitute the index: variety of operators, variety of types of energy sources, alternatives of energy sources, micro- and macro-generation support. It was found that residents of Kiruna and Tromsø have the best access to energy from renewable sources due to the support of initiatives at all levels, while Utqiagvik has the lowest indicator due to its isolation. Energy from renewable energy sources does not have a significant share in all of the cities under consideration; moreover, the market is often monopolised, which limits the choice and availability of various energy sources. Consequently, it is important to create suitable conditions for developing of RES on all levels, with the focus on micro level (as it makes ordinary people participate actively in the agenda, which is the key to support such remote areas with energy); otherwise it is unlikely to support the cities and territories of the region with energy from RES.

The paper presents a method for microscanning two-layer patterns of matrix photodetectors based on silicon. The developed systems register the visible and infrared spectra. Various methods of microscanning with the developed multispectral matrix photodetectors are proposed. Two colors are recorded in each cell, which simplifies the interpolation process, and using the microscanning technology, can eliminate it. For the obtained subpixels, the interpolation algorithm is reduced. In this case, the direction of a matrix shift should be taken into account when performing microscanning. For staggered cell patterns, the choice of direction is not as critical as for pseudo-random or vertical/horizontal arrangement. When microscanning, the direction of matrix shift should be taken into account. For staggered cell patterns, the choice of direction is not as critical as for pseudo-random or vertical/horizontal arrangement. So, for example, a pseudo-random arrangement is suitable for recording images of nature, where there are many small details of various shapes; and vertical/horizontal arrangement is suitable for scenes of the city and industrial areas, where everything has clear vertical and horizontal lines. The very idea of microscanning with a shift of half a pixel makes it possible to fill the "blind" zones of the matrix - pixel binding - on four sides of the pixel itself, which leads to a 4-fold increase in color resolution. For the obtained subpixels, a linear or adaptive interpolation method is suitable. It is also possible to take a more complicated path and choose bicubic, biharmonic interpolation. However, this approach contradicts the very concept of simplifying the image processing algorithm, although it leads to high-contrast color resolutions. Such systems can be used in surveys where it is necessary to record the exact details of a terrain or object, for example, in aerial photography and photogrammetry.
A mathematical model of a stabilized platform with an electro-hydraulic drive on a ship
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Bui Van Tam
Published: October 2023

Stabilized platforms are used on all types of moving vehicles, from satellites to submarines, and are even used on some portable and terrestrial devices. For example, a stabilized platform on a ship is used to accommodate navigation equipment and antennas of radar communication systems, which improves the efficiency of this equipment under the influence of wave disturbances. There are various kinematic schemes for building ship stabilized platforms. In particular, serial stabilized platforms and parallel stabilized platforms are used. In practical applications, serial stabilized platforms have found wider use. In this paper, we consider a mathematical model of a ship-based stabilized platform with two degrees of freedom, where the angular orientation of the platform is controlled using electric hydraulic drives. The use of electro-hydraulic drives makes it possible to ensure the formation of the required magnitude of the force effect to compensate for disturbances from wave oscillations of the ship's deck. In order to obtain relations for describing the relationship between the angular displacements of the elements of the kinematic scheme of the platform and the displacement of the hydraulic cylinder rod, the apparatus of complex numbers is involved in this work. A mathematical model of an electrohydraulic drive is considered taking into account the dynamics of movement of the electromechanism of a spool servo valve, the flow rates and pressures of the working fluid in the cavities of the hydraulic cylinder. A linearized mathematical model of an electrohydraulic drive is considered, and estimates are obtained for the parameters of the obtained mathematical model for given mass-dimensional characteristics of an electrohydraulic drive. This mathematical model can be used in the synthesis of an electric hydraulic drive control system to provide a given angular orientation of the platform under the action of wave disturbances.
Исследование влияния величины питающего напряжения и длины ли-нии электропередачи на абсолютную погрешность расчета совокупных потерь активной мощности в системе электроснабжения
Authors: Ливенцов Вячеслав Сергеевич , Костинский Сергей Сергеевич , Троицкий Анатолий Иванович
Published: October 2023

Введение. Предложен способ расчета совокупных потерь в оборудовании системы электроснабжения, учитывающий в целом совокупность элементов системы электроснабжения и нагрузки, связанных общим режимом работы. Поставлена задача оценки влияния величины питающего напряжения и длины линии электропередачи на величину абсолютной погрешности расчета потерь отдельно по составляющим и по виду оборудования, в сравнении с данными по величине потерь, полученными с помощью математической модели системы электроснабжения.

Методы и результаты. В целях обоснования диапазона изменения величины питающего напряжения выполнен анализ совокупности данных о его изменении, полученных в результате проведенных измерений на секциях шин с номинальным напряжением 6 (10) кВ подстанций, осуществляющих питание распределительных городских сетей, крупных административных объектов и промышленных предприятий. Установлено, что для сетей с номинальным напряжением 6 (10) кВ как отрицательные, так и положительные отклонения напряжения не превышают 10 %, что соответствует требованию ГОСТ 32144-2013. Анализ протяженности линий электропередачи был выполнен на основе данных о городских электрических сетях г. Новочеркасска. Сделано заключение, что протяженность подавляющего большинства исследуемой совокупности линий электропередачи не превышает 3 км, а минимальное и максимальное значения исследуемой совокупности длин линий электропередачи составляют соответственно 0,25 и 5,95 км. На основании выполненных расчетов и приведенных графических зависимостей сделан вывод, что максимальная абсолютная погрешность расчета потерь по разработанному способу незначительно изменяется в заданных диапазонах величин питающего напряжения и протяженности линии электропередачи, и ее максимальное значение составляет 0,07 %. В то же время максимальная абсолютная погрешность расчета величины потерь при использовании способа расчета потерь отдельно по составляющим и по виду оборудования, в тех же диапазонах исследуемых величин, составляет 0,18 %, что в 2,5 раза больше предлагаемого способа.
EGYPT GOVERNMENT EXCELLENCE AWARD: WHO’S PERSPECTIVE IS BEING ASSESSED?
Authors:   The British University in Egypt, Salem Karim N.
Published: October 2023

This research assesses the gap between how citizens perceive government performance and how the government evaluates itself based on the criteria identified as New Public Management (NPM) practices and the criteria used by the Egyptian government in its excellence awards. Criteria assessed included performance orientation, transparency and accountability, innovation and creativity, and responsiveness. This research is empirical in nature and utilizes exploration and description to serve the theoretical background. A gap exists between the archival measure used by the government to assess and award excellence, and the perceptual measures reflected in citizens’ responses regarding how worthy the institution researched deserves the excellence award granted by the government. The findings of this paper suggest that NPM application in the Egyptian context does not show improvements in public service delivery and that receiving the Government Excellence Award has minimal impact on citizen perception of the institution receiving the award.

Published: October 2023

This research is motivated by the problem of the lack of national insight possessed by the younger generation, especially junior high school students. In order to overcome this problem, a movement for inculcating the values of Indonesian nationalism in Civics learning is needed by applying a digital encyclopedia based on local wisdom called the e-Encyclopedia of the Indonesian Customary Law System (ENSHI). ENSHI is an innovative and applicable digital learning media, that summarizes all studies, theories, and arguments of Indonesian customary law which are comprehensively poured into the form of a website. The study used a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental study method involving seventh-grade students of SMPN 1 Cimahi. The study involved two research samples, namely class VII A as the experimental class and class VII D as the control class. The data collection technique used is a series of pre-test and post-test with data analysis techniques using statistics with the help of IBM SPSS Version 25 software. The results obtained from this study are PPKn learning outcomes in the experimental class that apply ENSHI learning media showing significant results compared to the control class which only applies conventional learning.

Bekasi Regency is an area that is directly adjacent to DKI Jakarta so that it can be seen that Sundanese culture in Bekasi Regency is acculturated with Betawi culture, especially in food, ranging from local food offerings to the Hajat Bumi tradition. The Hajat Bumi tradition is a tradition that is carried out every year after the harvest period as a form of gratitude for the harvest. The purpose of this study is to identify local foods that are acculturated with Betawi and Sundanese cultures in the Hajat Bumi Tradition. The method in this study is a descriptive qualitative method utilizing an ethnographic approach with data collection methods of interviews, observations and literature studies. The results of this study show that the main factor in the occurrence of acculturation is because Bekasi Regency is dominated by Sundanese and Betawi tribes, facilitating the easy influence of culture, especially food, each other. The main difference between gegeplak Kabupaten Bekasi and geplak Betawi is in the name and function. Gegeplak in Bekasi Regency is used as part of Sasajen or food offerings while in Betawi it only exists at moments such as Eid al-Fitr. The difference between gegeplak Bekasi Regency and gegeplak Karawang lies in the shape and color, gegeplak Karawang is given a variety of colors and smaller shapes compared to gegeplak Bekasi Regency.

Background: Teacher Training has needed new possibilities to make teaching practice more flexible and less boring. Therefore, using school-centred training is essential, so there is a need to investigate in loco the profile and needs of teachers. Objective: Identify the professional profile, the teaching know-how, the difficulties and needs in the teaching processes to cultivate communities of practice with teachers in a municipality placed in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul State. Design: This is a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory research using the content analysis technique for data processing. Setting and Participants: Four school contexts of Basic Education were investigated, with 63 teachers coming from two municipal schools and two state schools in a municipality on the West Frontier of Rio Grande do Sul State participated in the study. They were intentionally selected. Data collection and analysis: A structured questionnaire with questions related to the teachers' profiles was used for data collection, as well as open questions related to their pedagogical practice. Results: It was found that there is a high percentage of teachers working in more than one school, a factor that must be considered. We highlight the reflection and autonomy in pedagogical practice and the need for training actions regarding the diversity of methodologies to assertively address the different gaps in students. Conclusions: It is considered important to identify the profile and emerging needs of teachers in order to facilitate the organisation of Communities of Practice that aim for school-centred teacher education.
Capital and lowercase letters as ideologemes in Ukrainian discourse

The article presents the results of research on the expressive and stylistic load of graphemes in Ukrainian discourse from the end of the 19th century till today. Capital and lowercase letters are noticeably developing their expressive potential in modern Ukrainian discourse, becoming a significant means of text creation. At the same time, the issue of a capital letter going beyond the orthographic index of its own name (and the beginning of a sentence), transferring this function partly to a lowercase letter due to the ideological instructions of the speaker / speakers is on the fringes of scientific observations, while such use of these graphic signs was and is popular in the 20th–21st centuries. The purpose of our investigation is to trace the formation of the grapheme capital/lowercase letters as an ideologeme and to find out the productivity of this process at the current stage. During the research, it has been determined that capital and lowercase letters perform a crucial ideological function along with distinguishing names and appellatives. In general, Ukrainian spelling codes have been declaring a departure from the principle of “a capital letter is a proper name” for more than a century, giving these graphemes an expressive and evaluative meaning. The article traces the acquisition of a capital letter with the stylistic meaning of respectability, positive and evaluative connotations, and the reflection of this process in the spelling codes of the Ukrainian language. It has been also found that because of the intervention of the Soviet authorities in purely linguistic issues, expressions of contempt, insignificance, and pejorativeness, in general, were fixed in lowercase letters. The axiology of these graphemes is determined by extralinguistic factors, primarily the political situation and ideological guidelines of society, and is directly related to the evaluation of the referent of the corresponding lexical unit. The process of using capital/lowercase grapheme as an ideologeme is highly productive at the current stage of the development of the Ukrainian language. The powerful connotative potential of the lowercase letter became an indicator of the new linguistic thinking of Ukrainians and ideological resistance to Russian aggression. Despite the mass of “derogatory” spelling of proper names, one way or another connected with the Russian Federation, the issue of introducing a new spelling norm seems to be quite debatable.
INVESTIGATING PRE-SERVICE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS' CONCEPTIONS OF THE PROPERTY OF COMPLETENESS OF REAL NUMBERS

Published: October 2023

In recent years, the emphasis on concept teaching and conceptual understanding has played a central role in mathematics education curricula. The conceptualization of number systems is important to understand all areas of mathematics. Considering the difficulties experienced in the conceptualization of real numbers, it is seen that students have difficulty in understanding the relationship between real numbers and other number systems. This study aims to investigate pre-service mathematics teachers' conceptions of the property of completeness, which is the most basic element that distinguishes a real number set from other number systems. To this end, the APOS theory, which reveals the mental structures and mechanisms of the individual regarding a concept, was used. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with three pre-service teachers. The data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis method, and the findings were presented under two themes, which are the epistemology of the concept of the property of completeness of real numbers and the mental structures in the schemas related to the property of completeness of real numbers. The findings revealed that the pre-service teachers' conceptions of the property of completeness of real numbers was mostly at the action level. The study found some mental structures such as the representation of rational numbers on a line, which should be included in the genetic decomposition to be created in the context of the APOS theory regarding the completeness of real numbers.

Intracranial foreign metal body (sewing needle): A case report of infanticide attempt
Authors: Mehdiyev Elshad S.
Published: September 2023

During a mandatory examination of a 25-year-old soldier in a psychiatric clinic, psychopathy features were observed, and an intracranial foreign metal body, a sewing needle, was found. The patient and his parents did not know the existence of the intracranial sewing needle until the examination. The parents could not give any anamnestic information to the doctor regarding the existence of the sewing needle in the intracranial region.
Clearly, the sewing needle can be entered into intracranial region only till the period in which the sinciput becomes firm. As the needle tip was pointing down, the needle was deemed pricked intentionally. Further investigation showed that the patient was the only grandson in the family, near relatives enviously placed the sewing needle into his intracranial region from the sinciput to murder him while he was still a baby. The accident was evaluated as a result of an unsuccessful crime.
Thus, instrumental examinations (roentgenography of the skull in two projections, computed tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance examination, etc.) are necessary for patients with psychiatric problems.
