Bicuspidization: salvaging a mandibular molar with endo-periodontal lesion
Authors: Kalubowila Samudi Sathsara , Palipana Priyake
Published: November 2023

Teeth are for a lifetime. Losing a tooth will lead to many deleterious consequences starting with the loss of function of the lost tooth and the one coming into occlusion with that. With the increasing life expectancy, the importance of maintaining teeth is highlighted. Replacement is restricted due to financial restrictions and comorbidities contraindicating the replacement options. In a multi-rooted tooth once the area between roots is affected it was routine to extract the tooth as most of the treatment protocols are not giving promising results. The case described here was successfully treated by sectioning the tooth and facilitating access to routine care. Ultimately the tooth is in function as 2 premolars. This has served the tooth to be maintained in the arch at a relatively low cost and least surgical or prosthetic intervention.
Exploring the Effect of Annotation Quality on PCB Component Segmentation
Authors: Hasan Md Mahfuz Al , Jessurun Nathan , Varshney Nitin , Asadizanjani Navid
Published: November 2023

Due to the continuous outsourcing of printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, PCB counterfeits and Trojans have increased by a significant margin, and this has necessitated rapid and advanced hardware assurance techniques. PCB Image segmentation is the primary step in PCB assurance. Over the years, few PCB component segmentation methods have been proposed and none of those have provided a definite benchmark of performance. Besides those methods haven’t discussed how the performance is correlated with underlying data or annotation quality. In this work, we present a benchmark on PCB image segmentation along with a high-quality dataset. In addition, we explore how annotation quality affects component segmentation and present possible future research directions to work with coarse annotations to alleviate the human effort behind full data annotation tasks. We have analyzed the performance of the preferred Deep Neural Network (DNN) architecture with the data annotation quality and presented the direction to leverage the outcome with limited quality annotations. Finally, we present the qualitative as well as the quantitative results to demonstrate the performance of our techniques and provide observations and future research directions on the overall task.
Layout-Only Hardware Trojans: Attack Vectors and a Non-Golden Model Reverse Engineering-Based Counterstrategy
Authors: Ludwig Matthias , Bette Ann-Christin , Lippmann Bernhard
Published: November 2023

Globally distributed microelectronic supply chains have disrupted trust in silicon hardware and have drawn academia’s attention toward different scenarios of malicious circuit modifications, i.e., hardware Trojans. This dynamic hardware environment, including open-source approaches and evermore outsourcing, requires constant reassessment of offensive and defensive aspects. Based on an untrusted foundry model, this work assesses the concrete technical realizations of layout-only modifications via design file editing, mask editing, or in-line alterations. Furthermore, the attack possibility on different modules within a system on a chip is qualitatively evaluated. Consequently, a modification is demonstrated on an SRAM- ’PUF’ module. To link the attack point-of-view with a defensive measure, we propose a hardware reverse engineering-based countermeasure, which is non-reliant on a golden layout. Through a novel approach relying on inherent polygon properties, potentially occurring modifications are detected via clustering and a statistical evaluation of the intra-cluster distributions. Finally, the approach is demonstrated on samples from 7 nm to 150 nm, for which a modification detection rate between 95% and 100% is reached for all evaluated samples.

The largest subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex and the backbone of the domestic food market as a whole is grain farming. The efficiency of this sector of the economy determines the provision of the population with food, as well as the food security of the country. Grain production is the basis of export potential growth and competitive advantage in the world food market. The article presents the dynamics of changes in the gross harvest and export of grain by the EAEU countries, the impact of customs duties and state support on pricing in the grain subcomplex in the Russian Federation. The features of the damping mechanism of pricing in grain production and measures of customs and logistics regulation in the grain market of the Russian Federation are investigated.

Aim: To analyse clinical, biochemical and social characteristics of patients with severe mental disorders and aggressive behaviour. Design: observational cross-sectional study. Materials and methods. We examined 110 patients of 18–60 years of age with severe mental disorders and persistent aggressive behavior who committed acts of violence. For examination, we used clinical psychopathologic, psychometric, laboratory, mathematical and statistical methods. Results. The subjects had disturbed upbringing with signs of violence, undereducation, family and occupational maladaptation, conflict relations with people around them, financial insecurity. Clinically, they demonstrated marked behavioural disorders with explosive episodes associated with hetero-aggressive trends, with decreased intellectual and volitional control and lack of compliance. There were statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences in biological parameters of a majority of patients vs. reference values and correlation between psychometric and biochemical data. Conclusion. The results contribute to the identification of predictors of socially dangerous violent behaviour in persons with severe mental disorders. Keywords: severe mental disorders, aggressive behaviour, violent misconduct, predictors of social danger.

Aim: study and analysis of psychopathological and clinical features of psychotic disorders associated with the use of synthetic cathinones. Materials and methods. The study design was observational, comparative, prospective. The study involved 98 patients treated in the Acute Poisoning Unit, the Emergency Addiction Treatment Unit and the Line Addiction Treatment Unit. In terms of gender, males predominated (n = 58; 59.2%), females accounted for 40.8% (n = 40). Median age — 30 years (Q1–Q3 — 22–33). In the first phase of the study, patients were screened and included in the study according to inclusion/non-inclusion criteria; in the second phase, the clinical picture of psychosis was analysed, depending on the leading syndrome patients were divided into three groups; In the third stage, patients were monitored for 12 months. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) was used to objectify the assessment of the severity and dynamics of psychotic symptoms. In the third stage there was 79 participants in the study, the rest of the patients refused to continue participation after 2 months or more. Results. There are three main clinical forms of psychotic disorders developing due to the use of synthetic cathinones: delirious, delusional, polymorphic. Each form had its own clinical and dynamical features. The delirious form was the heaviest: in the 1st day, patients had the highest score on the BPRS scale (Me = 80 (73–87)), but transient: psychosis was resolved within 1 day. With delusional form, the median score in the 1st day on the BPRS scale was 65 (59–82), in polymorphic — 66 (43–76). The vast majority of psychoses (91.8%) developed during intoxication. Some psychoses of delusional and polymorphic form, which developed beyond intoxication lasted notebly longer. The polymorphic form is the longest lasting, with symptoms lasting more than 2 weeks. Postpsychotic disorders were presented as asthenic and neurotic (anxiety-depressive) disorders, most pronounced and lasting (more than 6 months) in patients with a polymorphic form of psychosis. Conclusion. The study showed that psychoses with a «exogenous» clinical picture (psychomotor agitation and nonspecific psychopathological symptoms) pass faster and psychopathological disorders go away simultaneously with agitation. At the same time, psychoses with a predominance of psychopathological disorders (delusions, hallucinations) are characterized by a longer course and require long-term therapy. Key words: synthetic cathinones, SCath-induced psychoses, stimulant dependence, clinical forms of psychoses.

Aim: To study the characteristics of brain activity in male patients with recurrent and bipolar depression. Design: This was a comparative controlled non-randomized experimental clinical study. Materials and Methods: 59 male patients took part in this study before their medication started: 30 with bipolar and 29 with unipolar (recurrent) depression. Control group consisted of 27 healthy male volunteers. All investigated persons were aged 20 to 59 years. The participants had to sort photos of people and animals, of which 80 were neutral images and 80 showed angry/aggressive people or animals. Simple patterns (cues) were displayed two seconds prior to the pictures, and their relationship was not explained. A 128-channel EEG was recorded and brain responses were analyzed in 0–700 ms from cue onset. Differences between the neutral and emotional conditions (emotional modulation, EM) were statistically evaluated. Results: All components in this study (P100, N170/VPP, P200, P380, and LPC/LPP) in various degrees showed EM dependent on the group and on the type of threatening stimuli. Topography of EM for N170/VPP in all groups and both types of stimuli was quite similar. None of the components unambiguously distinguished between the controls and nosographically different depressions. Conclusion: Our results show that in the study of affective disorders and the search for markers for diagnosis, it is necessary not only to take into account the gender of patients, but also to use various cognitive tasks when recording EEG, and also to consider a set of neurophysiological parameters. Keywords: emotional modulation, electroencephalogram, recurrent depression, bipolar depression, visual evoked potentials.

Objective: To evaluate the psychoneurological status of post-COVID-19 patients using diagnostic tests for psychoemotional state, cognitive functions, sleep disorders. Design: a retrospective study. Materials and methods. We conducted psychoneurological tests on 68 post-COVID-19 patients (38 women and 30 men) (mean age: women — 44.6 ± 6.4 years old, men — 46.8 ± 7.8 years old). The control group included 30 persons without a history of coronavirus infection. Neuropsychological tests were performed using the asthenia scale developed by L. D. Malkova and adapted by T. G. Chertova, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Spiegel Sleep Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, cognitive function testing (memorising 10 words, Munsterberg test, mechanical memory test). Results. The main psychoneurological manifestations in post-COVID-19 patients are asthenoneurotic or anxiodepressive symptoms (57.4 %), insomnia (39.7 %) and cognitive-mnestic disorders (32.4 %) associated with somatic-vegetative disorders (hyperhydrosis, palpitations, blood pressure fluctuations, dispeptric disorders, episodes of dizziness). A lot of patients had persistent smell and taste disorders (26.5 %), impaired visual acuity (25 %), impaired hearing (23.5 %), limb numbness and paresthesia (20.6 %). Conclusion. Management of patients with coronavirus infection requires a comprehensive diagnostic approach involving assessment of their mental health. Psychoneurological features of post-COVID-19 patients demonstrate the need in improved efficiency of rehabilitation and therapeutic measures due to restoration of mental, cognitive, somatic-vegetative functions. SARS-CoV-2-associated symptoms of neural system involvement are a sign of unfavourable disease progression and outcome. Keywords: psychoneurological disorders, coronavirus infection, neuropsychological testing, psychological assessment, post-COVID syndrome.

Aim: To describe the Russian and foreign experience in the use of non-invasive neuromodulation for pain management in patients with chronic lower back pain (LBP); to present various neuromodulation techniques and other rehabilitation methods which can be used in combination with neuromodulation in patients with LBP; to describe neuromodulation parameters and programs for an optimal analgesic effect. Key points. LBP is a common (affecting 7.5 % of the world population) and socially significant condition (one of the leading causes of disability worldwide). The efficiency of drug pain management in chronic LBP is approximately 40 %, therefore, non-drug treatment options are required. The neuropathic component of chronic LBP is associated with reorganization in cortex brain structures Hence, neural stimulation is a most promising approach to chronic LBP management, while transcranial direct current electrotherapy stimulation (TEdC) and rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are the most efficient and safest neural stimulation methods. rTMS is an efficient and safe approach to the management both of nociceptive and neuropathic pain, which is a common component of chronic conditions, in particular of LBP. The main area of exposure is motor cortex areas (М1). As compared to TEdC, rTMS is better tolerated by patients and demonstrates better pain management results. Conclusion. Pain syndrome is a significant limitation to rehabilitation in patients with LBP, and drug pain management is inefficient. We suggest that anaesthetic neuromodulation be included into a complex therapy of such patients. The most widely used and efficient neuromodulation techniques are TEdC and rTMS. Keywords: lower back pain, rehabilitation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, neuropathic pain.

Aim: to assess the dynamics of the state of cognitive functions in the acute period of ischemic stroke. Design: prospective study. Material and methods. The study included a group of observation of patients in the acute period of ischemic stroke in the amount of 26 people. The cognitive sphere was assessed twice: on admission to the hospital on days 2-3, and on discharge on days 8-10. Scales used to assess the cognitive sphere: Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), The Clock-drawing Test (CDT). The emotional-volitional sphere was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results. In a dynamic assessment, cognitive disorders in the observed group were most pronounced upon admission to the hospital. By discharge on days 8-10, according to the MMSE test, there was a positive trend, the increase was by 2b, MoCA by 2b, FAB by 1b, respectively, the results were significant (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.001). In the analysis of subscales according to the MMSE test, improvements to the extract were according to word reproduction (p = 0.005), speech functions (p = 0.04). According to MoCA, the improvement in total scores was due to subscales: memory (p = 0.01), attention (p = 0.05), speech (p = 0.04), abstraction (p = 0.005). Changes in the FAB test were driven by the conceptualization function (p = 0.04) and the simple choice response (p = 0.008). Anxiety and depression were not detected in the studied patients. Conclusion. During the acute period of ischemic stroke, the degree of cognitive impairment significantly decreases by 8-10 days against the background of ongoing treatment. Keywords: stroke, cognitive impairment, dementia, post-stroke cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment.

The Phoridae (Diptera) of NE-Westphalia: a field study over five years.
Authors: Grundmann Bernard , Kappert Jürgen
Published: November 2023

Contributing reliable data sets to support conservation efforts is currently the most important target of taxonomy and faunistics, yet the lack of statistically significant data makes unambiguous recommendations based on actual biodiversity mostly elusive. Especially the abundance distribution of large and ecologically diverse groups as a prerequisite to assess regional differences is in general not available. In this study a comprehensive faunistic record of Phoridae comprising about 290 species and more than 62000 specimens from a single location in NE-Westphalia caught over five years in a Malaise trap and occasionally by further methods is presented. The study will be distributed among two parts: I) Genera except Megaselia. II) Megaselia. This first part is devoted to 71 species of Phoridae except Megaselia: their sex ratio, abundance distribution, rarefaction and a thorough presentation of rare species and species new to the area of investigation including annotations concerning morphology, ecology, distribution and used literature. Where feasible a photo showing important characters has been added.

Published: November 2023

Накопичені численні дані про високе поширення артеріальної гіпертензії (АГ) у хворих на подагру. Проблема поєднання АГ з обмінними порушеннями має величезне значення. Встановлено, що у хворих з АГ підвищення рівня сечової кислоти є незалежним предиктором збільшення ризику виникнення серцево-судинних подій (зокрема, фатальних) і загальної смертності. В огляді розглянуто патогенетичні механізми, за допомогою яких сечова кислота бере участь в розвитку серцево-судинних захворювань, в тому числі АГ, наведено аналіз клінічних досліджень із застосування антигіпертензивних препаратів 1-го ряду у хворих на подагру.

Authors: Kaskova L. F. , Marchenko K. V. , Berezhna O. E. , Amosova L. I.
Published: November 2023

Частота зубощелепних аномалій у дітей та підлітків, за даними різних авторів, збільшується і становить від 50,8 до 81 %. Аномалії зубощелепної системи призводять до естетичних та функціональних порушень, впливають на психіку дитини і нерідко зумовлюють виникнення та розвиток карієсу зубів і хвороб тканин пародонта, поширення яких досягає 90 %. Ми вивчали динаміку показників карієсу у 50 дітей віком 12 років із зубощелепними аномаліями під впливом профілактичних заходів, яких розподілено на чотири групи. Найбільш ефективний профілактичний комплекс, за показником редукції приросту карієсу (59,4 %), визначено при застосуванні "Tooth Mousse" (нанесення на поверхні зубів на 5 хв після їжі 1 раз на день зранку після чищення зубів), "Остеовіт" (по одній таблетці 3 рази на день), "Пектодент – зубний порошок" (чищення зубним порошком 2 рази на день – зранку та ввечері). Даний комплекс створює умови для підвищення резистентності твердих тканин зубів, що приводить до зниження показників інтенсивності карієсу у дітей.

STATISTICAL STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Authors:   State Statistics Service of Ukraine, HRYTSUN Viktoriia
Published: November 2023

Investment is the primary catalyst for the development of any country. Without appropriate investment, recovery and a prosperous future for Ukraine are impossible. Despite thorough studies of domestic and foreign investment trends, more attention should be paid to analyzing the impact of crisis phenomena on the dynamics and structure of investments. The search for the main directions of activation of investment processes in conditions of the acute need for financial resources for the recovery of Ukraine requires further elaboration. The article aims to study the main trends, risks, and prospects for activating investment processes in Ukraine. The article analyzed the dynamics and studied the most important factors influencing the leading socio-economic indicators of Ukraine for 1997-2020. The level of investment intensity in the economy of Ukraine for 1995-2020 was evaluated, which showed that only within five years ( 2004-2008) the intensity of investments exceeded the bar of 20%. Ukraine never recovered after the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. Peculiarities of the influence of unpredictable factors and crisis phenomena on the volume and structure of investment attraction from various sources of financing have been studied. A study of the dynamics of foreign direct investments for 1995-2020 was conducted. The main directions and prerequisites for the activation of investments in the economy of the country, which is actually in a state of war, as well as its post-war recovery, were outlined. It was established that for the full-scale attraction of investments from investment funds, private investors, and grant funds, the availability of available and reliable information about promising investment projects and possible benefits from their implementation is of utmost importance; practical tools of public administration; a transparent system of project verification and an effective system of monitoring their results with the possibility of information exchange; minimization of corruption risks; working out the mechanism of insurance of investment risks during the war.

Fluency in Speaking as a Dynamic Construct
Authors: H. de Jong Nivja
Published: November 2023

In current research into second language (L2) speaking, aspects of fluency are measured as static constructs. Averaged over a complete speaking performance, for instance, syllables per minute is calculated. Similarly, the number of pauses is calculated per minute, averaged over a complete speaking task. This paper argues, however, that we need to investigate fluency as a dynamic construct. Research into L1 speaking has shown that L1 fluency aspects may show cyclical temporal patterns (Roberts & Kirsner, 2000). In addition, research into the changes in perception of L2 comprehensibility during task performance has shown that L2 comprehensibility may show dynamic patterns, with implications for ratings on comprehensibility (Nagle et al., 2019). This paper, therefore, argues that L2 fluency should be investigated as a dynamic construct as well. The paper finishes by sketching pedagogical implications and directions for future research.
Bank Performance Determinants: State of the Art and Future Research Avenues
Authors: Azzabi Anas , Lahrichi Younes
Published: November 2023

Banks' performance is an important topic for both professionals and researchers. Given the important literature on this subject, this paper aims to bring an up-to-date and organized review of literature on the determinants of banks performance. This paper discusses the main approaches that molded the debate on banks’ performance and their main determinants. An in-depth understanding of these latter may allow on the one hand, bank managers and regulators to improve the sectors’ efficiency and to deal with the new trends shaping the future of their industry and on the other hand, academicians to enrich research and knowledge on this field. Through the analysis of 54 studies published in 42 peer-reviewed journals, we show that despite the importance of the existent literature, the subject of bank performance factors did not reveal all its secrets and still constitute a fertile field for critical debates, especially since the COVID-19 and the increasingly pressing rise in power of digital transformation and artificial intelligence in general and FinTechs in particular. The study concludes by suggesting new promising research avenues.
