Acute insulin-induced hypoglycemia in twin neonates
Authors: Chrisbina J. Anita , Krishnan B. Arun , Prasad Hemchand
Published: April 2024

Twin neonates with a history of exogenous insulin administration by a mother suffering from post-partum psychosis are reported. Twin 1 presented with lethargy, while twin 2 presented with apnea and bradycardia, requiring vigorous resuscitation. During their neonatal intensive care unit stay, both the babies developed multiple episodes of symptomatic refractory hypoglycemia with seizures and were managed with intravenous dextrose boluses and infusion, glucagon infusion, octreotide, diazoxide, and glucocorticoids. Although short-acting regular insulin (Actrapid, Novo Nordisk™) preparation was administered to the neonates, its effects were seen for a duration of 3–4 days, probably due to the depot effect. We highlight the importance of history taking and physical examination for early diagnosis and appropriate management.

Authors: Morgan Ryan D. , Kharbat Abdurrahman F. , Youssi Brandon W. , Garza John , Nagy Laszlo
Published: April 2024

Background:

Although uncommon, cerebellar contusions are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Literature is lacking in the prognostic and morphological factors relating to their clinical picture and outcomes, especially within children. The objective of this study is to evaluate prognostic and anatomic factors in the clinical picture of cerebellar contusions, including effacement of the 4th ventricle and cisterna magna.

Methods:

This is a retrospective chart review over 11 years across two medical centers. Patients included were under 18 years who presented with a cerebellar contusion. Patients were stratified within the study group based on discharge Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) and reviewed for prognostic factors contributing to outcome. Mid sagittal area of the 4th ventricle and cisterna magna were measured using magnetic resonance imaging and compared within the groups.

Results:

A total of 21 patients met the study criteria, of which 16 (76.2%) were male, with an average patient age of 8.65 years. Poor outcome at discharge (GOS <4) was associated with decreased admission Glasgow coma scale (P = 0.003), admission motor response (P = 0.006), pupil reactivity (P = 0.014), presence of concomitant subarachnoid hemorrhage (P = 0.010), contusion volume (P < 0.001), and decreased area of the cisterna magna (P = 0.012). Patients with poor outcomes were also more likely to require surgical intervention (P = 0.042).

Conclusion:

There are multiple prognostic factors associated with the overall outcome following cerebellar contusions. The rate of good outcomes in this study was superior to that in previous studies in adults.

Intraneural mucoid cyst is uncommonand benign condition, it can result in nerve compressionatlate stages. However, it is a reversible mono-neuropathy disease if diagnosed early and surgically treated [1]. There are numerous hypotheses of pathogenesis such as recurrent trauma, intra-neural hemorrhage, mucoid degeneration and the more recent unified articular theory suggesting that intraneural cysts originates from adjacent joint and dissects along the articular branch into the principal nerve [2].

Intracranial Atherosclerosis (ICAS) is a common cerebrovascular lesion worldwide and an important cause of stroke [1]. Non-modifiable risk factors include age, gender, and genetics, with age being a key factor and atherosclerosis usually progressive, with no clinical manifestations until middle age. Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) has increased fivefold among people aged 40 to 60. Before menopause, women are less prone to atherosclerosis than men, and the incidence of atherosclerosis is increased in postmenopausal women [2,3]. The inheritance of various genetic polymorphisms and the accumulation of family risk factors (such as diabetes and hypertension) create multiple conditions for the formation of atherosclerosis [4]. On the other hand, modifiable risk factors, such as smoking, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and high blood pressure, can be improved by adjusting daily life. Studies have analyzed that white people are prone to extracranial arterial occlusive disease, while Asian, black and Hispanic people have a higher risk of intracranial atherosclerotic disease [1]. Therefore, the prevention of atherosclerotic disease, has been very urgent, to increase publicity, from the source to solve the problem.

Authors:   Centre of Experimental Medicine, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia, J Lakota , KH Haider ,   Sulaiman AlRajhi Medical School, Al Bukairiyah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Published: April 2024

We present an analysis of three patients from literature with a malignancy treated with high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It is evident that schizophrenia can be transferred during the cell graft from a schizophrenic donor, cured by the graft from a healthy donor, or cured by high-dose therapy and an autologous graft. We suggest that the use of allogeneic MSCs from healthy donors (including MSCs soluble and insoluble paracrine factors) in schizophrenia patients may be an exciting therapeutic option for further exploration.

Background: Resistance to treatment characterizes a substantial portion of patients with schizophrenia. Without adequate symptom control from medication, these patients are left with few therapeutic options. Objective: Given the recent success of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in treatment-refractory neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessivecompulsive disorder, substance use disorder, and Tourette syndrome, we reviewed the existing evidence for DBS in schizophrenia. Methods: We searched PubMed and MEDLINE for articles and conducted a systematic review on DBS as a treatment for schizophrenia in line with the PRISMA-P 2020 guidelines. Results: After the search and screening process, we reviewed a total of three articles with eleven patients implanted. The nucleus accumbens (n = 3), subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (n = 4), habenula (n = 2), and substantia nigra pars reticulata (n = 1) were all targeted for stimulation. Stimulation resulted in symptom reduction on respective outcome measures in nine of ten patients stimulated (one patient was explanted without stimulation). There were ten adverse events across the eleven procedures and five of these were deemed serious adverse events, comparable to other reports of DBS. Three of these events occurred in the same patient, while one event coincided with a patient’s discontinuation of their own antipsychotic regimen. None resulted in permanent harm. Conclusion: Despite a limited experience, DBS is likely safe, and potentially effective in patients with refractory schizophrenia. Further investigation is necessary to establish ideal targets for stimulation.
On the thermodynamic feasibility of acid-base equilibria
Authors: Senavirathne Gayan
Published: April 2024

Most undergraduate Organic chemistry textbooks contain a section on the general acid-base equilibria, strength of acids and bases, and predicting the equilibrium position of acid-base reactions (1-3). The students are taught to qualitatively predict the directions of these reactions using only the acid/base strengths or acid/base constants (pKa/pKb) without elaborating how or why they work. For example, statements like ‘stronger acids/bases tend to move towards weaker forms’ are not good explanations (1-3). Moreover, finding an answer in Analytical and Physical chemistry textbooks specific to this question is challenging (4-6). The simple thermodynamic framework put forward here can easily explain why these predictions work and allow one to quantify the direction of acid-base reactions.
Unravelling competitive interactions between polymer side chains and end groups with β-cyclodextrin
Authors: Ziegler Katharina , Post Yorick , Gröschel André , Ravoo Bart Jan
Published: April 2024

This study investigates unexpected competitive host-guest interactions of β-cyclodextrin which can occur with polymers in aqueous solution, using the examples of the two polymers poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA) and poly(glycerol mono methacrylate) (PGMA). Systematic structural modifications of the polymer provide insight into the host-guest interaction with β-cyclodextrin and the competition between side chains and end groups, i.e. hydrophobic end groups remaining from reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization or intentionally implemented molecular recognition units such as arylazopyrazole (AAP) photoswitches.
Origin of potential and pH dependence of electrocatalytic rates
Authors: Liu Si , D'Amario Luca , Shit Subhasis , Mebs Stefan , Dau Holger
Published: April 2024

Electrochemistry is central to the global transition towards CO2 neutrality, e.g. for the production of green hydrogen. In electrocatalysis, a steep current rise with increasing electrode potential promotes high energy efficiency, but the factors governing the potential dependence of catalytic rates are insufficiently understood. Here, we show how both the electrode potential and pH dependence arise from the formation of interacting oxidized sites within the bulk-active catalyst material and outline a conceptual framework for understanding the steepness of the current-potential relationship that contrasts with classical paradigms. Two prominent electrocatalysts of the oxygen evolution reaction, oxide materials based on cobalt and nickel in synergistic cooperation with varying amounts of iron, were studied by an unconventional ensemble of experiments combining electrochemistry with X-ray absorption spectroscopy during electrocatalytic operation. We find that both electrode potential and pH control the catalytic rate indirectly, first through non-Nernstian oxidation of the catalyst material, and second through the energetic interactions between oxidized sites, resulting in catalytic currents that depend exponentially on the concentration of oxidized sites. Thus, the slope of the Tafel is not determined by the specifics of the reaction mechanisms, as was often assumed in the past, but by the energetic interactions between oxidized sites. The optimization of the interaction energies between oxidized catalyst sites could be targeted in the development of future electrocatalyst materials with high energy efficiency.

Ultrashort-pulsed laser technology has revolutionized surface modification and can be a key part to generate biomimetic, superhydrophobic properties on a large scale. However, laser- structured surfaces exhibit a high surface energy directly after light-material interaction and thus need post-processing techniques to control the surface chemistry. Current research has been chiefly based on perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) to lower the surface energy, for which severe ecological and physiological concerns exist. Using hot-fila- ment chemical vapor deposition, we demonstrate the development of an, compared to fluorine- containing coatings, more environmentally friendly coating based on siloxane components, which we successfully applied on laser-structured surfaces. Creating two surface designs with a femtosecond laser, we showed that even nanoscaled protrusions are not overlaid by the ho- mogenous chemical vapor deposited polymer film. Combining a hierarchical surface topogra- phy and thin film deposition, superhydrophobic surfaces with a static contact angle of 171.6°, a contact angle hysteresis of 8.6°, a sliding angle of 4.5° and low lateral adhesion forces (FLA=9 µN) were achieved. These findings highlight the potential impact of combined ultra- short-pulsed laser technology and chemical vapor deposition polymerization for large-scale ap- plications, emphasizing an environmental alternative to PFAS.
Uso del software Tracker para el estudio de los procesos transitorios de carga y descarga en el circuito RC de corriente directa
Authors: Hernández Fereira Arcelio , González Castillo Yunelbis
Published: April 2024

El software Tracker ha sido aplicado profusamente para el estudio de movimientos mecánicos pues permite obtener, a partir de un video, la posición del objeto estudiado en el tiempo y derivar de ella otras magnitudes importantes. Sin embargo, en determinados circuitos eléctricos ocurren procesos transitorios en los cuales una magnitud física medible varía en el tiempo. Esto motivó a los autores intentar registrar dichos cambios usando un video que luego se procesaría con Tracker. Se analizaron las dificultades asociadas con poder ralentizar estos procesos, normalmente de corta duración, y se encontraron las vías para lograrlo. El estudio incluyó, en primer lugar, la verificación experimental de las expresiones teóricas para los procesos transitorios de carga y descarga en el circuito RC de corriente directa y para ello se construyeron las gráficas de los valores del voltaje en el capacitor contra el tiempo para dichos procesos a partir de los datos recogidos del procesamiento del video del cambio del voltaje en el capacitor en un voltímetro digital y uno analógico usando el Tracker. Estas gráficas de tipo exponencial fueron debidamente procesadas usando EXCEL para linealizarlas y obtener sus ecuaciones de ajuste y de ellas los valores de la constante de tiempo que se compararon con los esperados de acuerdo a los valores de la capacidad del capacitor y la resistencia del resistor del circuito. Los resultados son excelentes y la alternativa propuesta está al alcance de la mayoría de los estudiantes y laboratorios de Física de las universidades de los países en desarrollo.
Legal framework for the prevention of torture: national and international levels
Authors: Katerynchuk K. , Lehan I.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the global problems of our time related to the implementation and protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in Ukraine. The authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of national legislation and international treaties that influence the implementation of human rights. It is established that the European integration path chosen by Ukraine and the desire to implement the assistance of our state in the world and European communities requires the harmonization of national legislation in accordance with the provisions of international legal acts. The article defines that the topic of prevention and avoidance of torture, as well as other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, is becoming relevant in the current conditions. In addition, the study focused on normative legal acts, based on which the relevant state bodies, organizations, institutions, and public formations should carry out their activities to prevent these illegal acts. In Ukraine, the problem of ensuring human rights and freedoms in the current conditions is of particular importance, because the institution of restriction of human rights and freedoms, since the military invasion of the russian federation, occupies a prominent place among other legal institutions. Examples of judicial practice of the European Court of human rights in the field of protection from torture are described and analyzed. The authors have shown that the right to prohibit torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, is a basic international standard and is recognized as a crime by the entire civilized international community. The article analyzes international legal instruments, provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and domestic legislation for their compliance with international treaties in this aspect.
Analysis of world military expenditures on production and armaments in the context of modern geopolitical threats
Authors: Dyka O. , Kovpaka A.
Published: April 2024

Geopolitical threats and military conflicts in the first quarter of the 21st century have led to changes in the structure of countries' expenditures, with an increase in defense spending on production and armaments, as well as financial support for humanitarian, economic and military needs of the warring countries. The main reason for the increase in military spending in the world is the russian-Ukrainian war, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and other geopolitical risks in the Middle East and Taiwan. The growth of these risks encourages countries to increase defense spending, which further complicates the issue of financing socially important and public initiatives. It has been established that global military spending tends to increase during 2015–2023. Last year's military expenditures amounted to up to $2,240 billion, and this figure is the highest of the analyzed periods. Among the world's regions, such as North America, East Asia, Oceania, South Asia, and Europe, there is an increase in defense spending. The only region where military spending fell in 2022 was Africa, due to natural disasters and catastrophes within the region. The share of country expenditures in the structure of global defense spending has increased in countries such as the United States, China, russia, Saudi Arabia, and India. The United Kingdom, France and Japan are maneuvering in almost the same amount of spending during 2015–2023. There is also a trend in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc states, which have been increasing their spending since 2014, after the occupation of Crimea. Military and humanitarian support for Ukraine from Western partners remains a key necessity for deterring the russian aggressor, but the plan for the supply of equipment and weapons does not cover all possible needs of Ukraine, which leads to the search for other ways to maintain the country's military defense capability.
The penitentiary system of ukraine in the security dimension: current problems
Authors: Bohatyrov I.
Published: April 2024

The article provides a scientific analysis of the penitentiary system of Ukraine in terms of security. It is indicated that failure to solve the security problems inherent in the penitentiary system of Ukraine creates obvious uncertainty and even contradictions in the minds of people about their duration. It is proved that the myth about the possibility of rapid changes in the penitentiary system, about the possibility of implementing reforms within a few years, is not optimistic, on the contrary, forecasts of the time duration show that the reforms are not systemic, but in most cases one-sided. Problematic issues that affect the penitentiary system of Ukraine in terms of security are highlighted.
Methodology for assessing compliance with fatf recommendations and the effectiveness of financial monitoring systems
Authors: Hrytsyshen D. , Hrabchuk I. , Boshian A.
Published: April 2024

Rules combating money laundering and terrorism financing play a crucial role in establishing trust in the reliability and stability of the financial system, simultaneously acting as a protective mechanism against the infiltration of illicit elements. This dual function enhances the stability and reliability of the financial system, which is a crucially important element for fostering economic development and financial markets.

The purpose of the article is a thorough analysis of the existing legal and institutional framework, as well as regulatory practices in the field of financial monitoring to determine their compliance with FATF regulations and identify opportunities for optimization and improvement.

The research of evaluation of the effectiveness of financial monitoring systems was carried out on the examples of countries selected from different geographical regions and with different levels of development, including several countries in Africa, North and South America, Europe and Asia. Additionally, based on published consolidated assessment ratings of countries that underwent the latest round of FATF methodology assessments, we will identify those countries that received the highest ratings across 11 criteria: the United States and the United Kingdom (in 4 criteria), Israel and France (in 3 criteria).

To incorporate the experience of foreign countries into Ukraine, the assessment of the effectiveness of the financial monitoring system is conducted by comparing it with both superior and inferior foreign practices, as well as with countries facing similar military-political situations. A profile of the effectiveness of systems countering money laundering and financing terrorism is constructed for various countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Georgia, Moldova, Pakistan, Poland, and Ukraine, following the FATF methodology.

It has been determined that, for many foreign systems combating money laundering and terrorism financing, risks associated with the use of cash remain relevant. Additionally, inadequacies in combating terrorism financing have been identified, except for the United States and the United Kingdom. Reserves for increasing the effectiveness of national systems and systems combating the legalization of proceeds obtained through criminal means or terrorism financing have been identified.

Syntax, vocabulary, phraseology: Aspects of correlation and interaction
Authors: Safonova S. S. , Chupryakova O. A. , Rakhimova D. I.
Published: April 2024

This article raises the issues of using an integrative approach with respect to the study of language units, the problems of interaction of syntax, vocabulary and phraseology, and their interpenetration and contact within the framework of the semantic structure of the language as a functioning system. We also consider syntactic units that are in the zone of abstract meanings that ensure the integrity and vital activity of the language. The diachronic aspect of the coverage of the questions posed contributed to the identification of two processes – grammaticalization and lexicalization, which stimulate mutual transitions and borderline positions between principal and auxiliary parts, predicative and nominative parts, mono and polysemantic parts, as well as stable and instable parts in the sentence. The syntactic phraseomodels, analyzed in the article, are frequent in the sphere of hypotaxis when expressing adversarial-concessional, temporal and causal relations. It is especially important that the language has the integrativity of abstract vocabulary and relational semantics, designed to cement and structure speech activity. The syntactic phraseomodels under consideration complicate relational semantics with modal or expressive meanings. The modal component is usually realized through the vocabulary of anthropocentric content, covering the entire spectrum of human speech-psychomental activity, it is represented by separate semantic fields and lexical-semantic groups. Within the framework of expressive contexts, as essential elements are the lexical content of pretexts and the presence of emotive components in their composition. In these phrases, one can see a cause-and-effect relationship between two propositions, the real and potential ones in the subordinate part, although such models often move into the sphere of intensity semantics and the zone of emotiveness. The syntactic phraseomodels under consideration and those of them that have acquired a stable appearance are prone to parceling, budding from the base part and functioning more autonomously in the text. Thus, semantic-syntactic relations interact with abstract vocabulary and have a certain range of emotional-evaluative and modal meanings.

PENETRATION TESTING USING DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
Authors: Tolkachova Anastasiia , Posuvailo Maksym-Mykola
Published: April 2024

Traditionally, penetration testing is performed by experts who manually simulate attacks on computer networks to assess their security and identify vulnerabilities. However, recent research highlights the significant potential for automating this process through deep reinforcement learning. The development of automated testing systems promises to significantly increase the accuracy, speed and efficiency of vulnerability detection and remediation. In the pre-testing phase, artificial intelligence can be used to automatically create a realistic network topology, including the development of a tree of possible attacks. The use of deep learning methods, such as Deep Q-Learning, allows the system to determine the best attack paths, making the penetration process more strategic and informed. Automated penetration testing systems can serve as effective training tools for cybersecurity professionals. They allow attacks to be simulated in a controlled training environment, providing users with the opportunity to analyse different intrusion strategies and techniques, and serve as a training tool for detecting and responding to real-world attacks. This approach promotes a deep understanding of potential threats and develops the skills to effectively defend against them. In addition, the use of machine learning can help solve the problem of large numbers of false positives, which is a common problem in traditional security systems. Deep reinforcement learning offers the opportunity to create more adaptive scanning systems that can learn and adapt to changing threat patterns. Such systems are not only more efficient, but also able to operate with fewer errors, reducing the burden of human error. As a result, they can identify vulnerabilities that humans may not, providing a deeper and more comprehensive security analysis. This approach has the potential to revolutionise the cybersecurity industry, offering new strategies for protecting information systems and creating more robust network structures.

One of the most vulnerable issues in the technical protection of information is the acquisition of private or confidential data due to leakage through the optoelectronic channel. Today, the most promising area of protection of speech information from laser acoustic intelligence systems is development of passive protection methods. The work is devoted to the influence study of interior elements in the room on the protection of language information from LAIS, that can be implemented effectively and with minimal costs at the design stage in order to comfortably conduct confidential negotiations. On the basis of the conducted research, a systematic approach to determining the security of premises against the leakage of language information by an optoelectronic channel is proposed, which includes technical, interior, technological and design solutions that will help ensure the protection of language information from laser acoustic intelligence systems. Detecting the penetration of laser radiation into the room is solved with the help of the following technical solutions: use of solar panels and lighting sensors, geometry of the arrangement of glass in window frames, application of special coatings. Detection of the influence of room elements on the probing beam is provided with the help of interior solutions: use of materials with a high attenuation coefficient and their location in the room, use of appropriate coloring and composition of absorbing surfaces. Detection of the effect of the masking ability of various glass types is achieved with the help of technological solutions: use of glass with different relief and scattering ability, use of relief protective films. Detection of the impact of room shielding is achieved with the help of design solutions: interior design, taking into account the size and location of windows and their soundproofing characteristics. The direction of further research is the study of the influence of external environmental factors on the acquisition of language information by laser acoustic intelligence systems.

Son yıllarda sıklıkla gündeme gelen iklim değişikliği, hidrolojik çevrimin elemanları üzerinde bir baskı unsuru oluşturmakta ve bazı iklim anomalilerine sebep olmaktadır. Bu bakımdan iklim değişikliğinin ekosistem üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesi her geçen gün önemini arttırmaktadır. Mevcut çalışmada Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından işletilen 17320 numaralı Anamur istasyonunda 2002-2019 yılları arasında ölçülen aylık veriler kullanılarak bölgedeki hâkim olguların karakterindeki değişim zamana bağlı olarak iklim değişikliği çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla verilere Faktör Analizi (FA) dinamik bir biçimde uygulanarak zamansal değişim izlenmiş ve elde edilen bulgular iklim değişikliği çerçevesinde yorumlanmıştır. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda sıcaklık ve rüzgâr olmak üzere bölgede iki hâkim fenomenin var olduğu ve bu iki olgunun da zamanla etkisini arttırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yine elde edilen bulgular bölgede iklim değişikliğinin etkisinin var olduğunu göstermektedir. FA’nın dinamik bir biçimde uygulanması olguların karakterlerindeki değişimin incelenmesinde oldukça verimli bir yaklaşım tarzı oluşturmuş olup bu yaklaşım tarzı mevcut çalışmanın yenilikçi ve orijinal yönünü temsil etmektedir.
