Neurofibromas are benign tumors of peri-nervous origin. may occur as a single lesion (solitary neurofibroma) or as part of a neurofibromatosis type 1. We present a case of a 44-year-old man with a painful neurofibroma on the dorsal surface of the 3rd right finger, revealed by a painful mass on its posterolateral aspect. Treatment was by excisional biopsy, with histopathological examination confirming the diagnosis. In the study by Lincoski et al, 24 benign nerve tumours accounted for 11.5% of the total number of soft-tissue tumours in the hand and forearm. Isolated neurofibromas are rare in the hand and normally grow slowly over many years. MRI provides precise information on the anatomical relationships of the tumour. Even with a correct diagnosis, the therapeutic decision must be carefully considered.

Objective: Describe the epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical aspects of Pott's disease at the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville. Patients and methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study with retrospective collection carried out in the Rheumatology department of Brazzaville University Hospital from January 1, 2013 to June 31, 2017, i.e. 4 years and 6 months. The diagnosis of Pott's disease was based on anamnestic, clinical and paraclinical arguments. Results: The hospital frequency of Pott's disease was 6.4%. Men predominated (56.4%) with a sex ratio of 1.3. The average age was 46 +/- 16 years (range: 20-80 years). The average time to diagnosis was 6.6 ± 5 months (range: 1-26 months). Alcoholism was the most common cause in 56 cases (50.9%). Spinal syndrome was present in 109 cases (99.1%). All patients had a standard spine x-ray performed. Computed tomography was performed in 28 patients (25.5%), magnetic resonance imaging in 23 patients (20.9%). The most common morphological aspect was spondylodiscitis in 76 cases (69.1%) associating disc pinching (60%), erosion (40%), and demineralization (19.1%). Atypical forms were found in 34 cases (30.9%), dominated by the appearance of spondylitis in 21 cases (61.8%). Conclusion: Pott's disease is a common pathology in developing countries, spondylodiscitis remains the most common morphological form.
Maintenance electroconvulsive therapy: An effective yet underused treatment modality in psychiatry: A case series
Authors: Malvika Raju Tukra  , Nishikant M. Thorat
Published: April 2024

Maintenance Electroconvulsive Therapy (M-ECT) refers to ECTs administered beyond 6 months after the remission of illness. Maintenance electroconvulsive therapy (M-ECT) can be used to reduce the risk for relapse and recurrence of illness in patients who fare poorly with standard medication regimens. There is improvement in the relapse rate of major psychiatric disorders when continuation or maintenance (C or M-ECT) are used with psychotropics. These are single-center, retrospective case studies of patients diagnosed with major psychiatric disorders (as per International Classification of Diseases, 11th edition) who are receiving M-ECT in Department of Psychiatry, B.J. Government Medical College and Sassoon Hospital, Pune. We included 12 patients- 8 males and 4 females in this study. 4 cases were of patients suffering from schizophrenia, 3 cases were of patients suffering from depression, 1 case of bipolar affective disorder and 4 cases of patients of intellectual disability with psychosis. There was a reduction in hospitalization rate for acute exacerbation and significant improvement in the patients’ overall functioning on standardized rating scales without any significant adverse effects. Maintenance ECT is an underused treatment option that can substantially reduce risks of relapse in patients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia as well. Despite the potential value of these ECT schedules, these are relatively neglected in clinical practice. This article aims to explore the clinical utility of maintenance ECTs and emphasizes the use of maintenance ECTs in routine psychiatric care.

Published: April 2024

Road surface monitoring is essential for maintaining road environment safety through managing risk factors like rutting and crack detection. Using autonomous driving-based UGVs with high-performance 2D laser sensors enables more precise measurements. However, the increased energy consumption of these sensors is limited by constrained battery capacity. In this paper, we propose a fusion sensor system for efficient surface monitoring with UGVs. The proposed system combines color information from cameras and depth information from line laser sensors to accurately detect surface displacement. Furthermore, a dynamic sampling algorithm is applied to control the scanning frequency of line laser sensors based on the detection status of monitoring targets using camera sensors, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. A power consumption model of the fusion sensor system analyzes its energy efficiency considering various crack distributions and sensor characteristics in different mission environments. Performance analysis demonstrates that setting the power consumption of the line laser sensor to twice that of the saving state when in the active state increases power consumption efficiency by 13.3% compared to fixed sampling under the condition of =10, =10.

Published: April 2024

In today's growing threat environment, rapid and effective detection and response to security events is essential. To solve these problems, many companies and organizations respond to security threats by introducing security control systems. However, existing security control systems are experiencing difficulties due to the complexity and diverse characteristics of security events. In this study, we propose an automated integrated security control system model based on artificial intelligence. It is based on deep learning, an artificial intelligence technology, and provides effective detection and processing functions for various security events. To this end, the model applies various artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning methods to overcome the limitations of existing security control systems. The proposed model reduces the operator's workload, ensures efficient operation, and supports rapid response to security threats.

Authors: Cunha Rafaela de Oliveira , Leite Isabel Cristina Gonçalves , Nogueira Mário Círio , Cruz Danielle Teles da
Published: April 2024

O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão narrativa da literatura acerca das interfaces entre racismo e a Odontologia. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada nas bases de dados Medline (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online) via PubMed e BVS (Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde), entre janeiro e outubro de 2023, a partir da combinação dos descritores “racism”, “dentistry” e “oral health”. Foram selecionadas para compor esta revisão publicações sobre as intersecções entre o racismo, a educação e a prática odontológica. Foi possível identificar que a Odontologia sofre influência do racismo e atua na manutenção e na legitimação desse sistema de opressão. A falta de diversidade racial entre profissionais, docentes e estudantes da área, currículos de Odontologia pouco problematizadores, a falta de competência cultural dos profissionais e o viés racial na indicação de tratamentos odontológicos são pontos importantes elencados na literatura sobre as ligações entre racismo e Odontologia. Mudar esta realidade implica enquadrar o antirracismo como prioridade no ensino e na prática odontológica. Para que isso aconteça, é necessário, essencialmente, aceitar que o racismo existe e que seus fundamentos históricos ainda impactam e moldam a profissão.

Rare earth mineralization in volcanic-sedimentary rocks of the Shatak complex (Southern Urals)
Authors: Kovalev Sergei Grigor’evich , Kovalev Sergei Sergeevich , Sharipova Aisylu Azatovna
Published: April 2024

The paper presents materials on the study of rare earth mineralization in rocks of the Shatak complex, which belongs to the Mashak formation (RF2). Numerous rare earth minerals have been discovered and characterized in detail in terrigenous rocks, metabasalts and rhyodacites: allanite-(Ce), monazite-(Ce), monazite-(La), monazite-(Nd), nioboeschinite-(Y), aeshinite-(Y) , talenite-(Nd), talenite-(Dy), synchysite-(Ce), Ce–La–Fe oxide, cerite and unidentified compounds: yttrium silicate, cerium silicate, Ce–Fe compound, as well as REE-containing minerals: epidote and fluorapatite. In the contact zone between metabasalts and quartz sandstones, oxyfluoride – (La, Ce) (OnFm)3 mineralization, represented by compounds of variable composition, forming an isomorphic series: trifluoride (La, Ce)F3 – oxyfluoride (La, Ce)OF, is described for the first time in the world literature –oxide (La, Ce)2O3.

It has been established that the determining factors in the formation of rare earth mineralization in the rocks of the Shatak complex are the conditions and nature of metamorphism and the chemistry of the mineral formation environment.

The species diversity of rare earth minerals and the peculiarities of their chemical composition make the Shatak volcanic-sedimentary complex a unique object for studying the processes of rare earth mineral formation in various petrotypes of rocks formed in a single geotectonic setting and united by common thermobaric parameters of metamorphism.

Authors: Parfiriev Nikita Petrovich , Danukalov Konstantin Nikolaevich , Golovanova Inessa Vladimirovna
Published: April 2024

In order to obtain new paleomagnetic data on Vendian rocks in the Southern Urals, we studied the high-temperature magnetization component in sandstones of the Uryuk Formation, the carrier of which is hematite. The distinguished hematite vector in the collection of samples differs from the previously obtained intermediate-, intermediate-high-temperature magnetization component of magnetite, which is part of the same rocks. The average directions of the hematite component of magnetization of the Uryuk Formation were compared with the average directions of the overlying Basu Formation. The metachrony of the magnetite component and the synchrony of the hematite component are suggested.

The article provides an overview of modern scientific approaches to assessing the state of neurofunctional activity of the brain under the professional influence of physical and chemical factors is presented, carried out using bibliographic databases Scopus, MedLine, Web of Science, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, RSCI, Cyberleninka, Google Academy, Index Copernicus, SJR, Science Direct, Arxiv.Org. The work reflects the results of research by domestic and foreign scientists stating the fact of violations of neurobioelectric activity, cerebral hemodynamics, afferent conductive structures, cytokine and neuropsychological status in patients with vibration disease, sensorineural hearing loss, chronic mercury intoxication. There are prospects for using neuroenergic mapping with registration of the level of constant potential. The effects of biofeedback training (biofeedback method) on the reference reaction in order to stabilize and activate the neurofunctional activity of the brain in the treatment of neurological patients are reflected. The analysis of literary sources allowed us to substantiate the need to use artificial intelligence technologies to automate processes as a highly sensitive and specific method of detecting occupational pathology. The presented data indicate the relevance of the problem of studying disorders of neurofunctional activity, the relationship between the nervous and immune systems under the influence of vibration, noise, metallic mercury to improve the criteria for diagnosing lesions of the central nervous system.
Imbalance of cell differentiation clusters associated with contamination of biological media by lanthanides in workers of the titanium and rare metals recovery and distillation workshop
Authors: Dolgikh Oleg V. , Shirinkina Alisa S. , Alikina Inga N.
Published: April 2024

The professional activity of a person, depending on the working conditions, modifies the regulation of a single homeostatic mechanism, ultimately forming a breakdown of adaptation associated with an imbalance of immunological
parameters.
The study aims to evaluate changes in the surface molecules of leukocytes of the immune system specifically induced by the presence of lanthanides in workers in the production environment.
The authors examined 88 people working in the metallurgical industry. The observation group consisted of 24 people with an average work experience of 7.4±0.9 years, the comparison group included 64 people with an average work experience of 7.3±0.9 years. The scientists determined the identification of membrane markers (CD11a, CD277+, CD304+) by flow cytometry, and they also identified specific IgG to lanthanides by allergosorbent testing.
Excessive concentrations of lanthanides in the blood are formed in workers of the titanium and rare metals recovery and distillation workshop, which are reliably associated with indicator indicators of cellular differentiation of immune regulation clusters: inhibition of expression of immunological phenotypes CD11a, CD304+, CD277+, hyperproduction of specific IgG class reagins to lanthanides. The established immunological scenario is characteristic of the phenotypic characteristics of classical dendritic cells involved in autoimmune inflammatory reactions during the formation of vascular disorders of the central nervous system in workers in these production conditions.
The results obtained indicate that under conditions of industrial exposure to rare earth metals (lanthanides), workers in the workshop for the recovery and distillation of titanium and rare metals form maladaptive processes of disorders of immune regulation and expression of mediators of cellular differentiation, the markers of which include inhibition of cellular immunity associated with neurovascular mediators (CD11a, CD277+, CD304+), hyperproduction of specific IgG to lanthanides.
Ethics. The study was approved by the Ethics committee of Federal Scientific Center for Medical and Preventive Health Risk Management Technologies. All patients were informed about the purpose of the study, and voluntary informed consent was obtained.
Doing wrong and feeling moral: Do self-justifications pave the way to cheating?
Authors: Baro Lea , Verschuere Bruno , Nieper Annika S.
Published: April 2024

The self-maintenance theory (Mazar et al., 2008) states that people only lie to the extent that they can justify lying, that way allowing to retain a positive moral self-image. For instance, people lie more when they can observe counterfactuals than when they cannot (Shalvi et al., 2011), presumably because it enables people to justify their lie. We administered an online variant of the die-rolling game by Shalvi et al. (2011), where people rolled either just once (no counterfactuals; N = 167) or multiple times (providing for counterfactuals; N = 88) always with the first role determining pay. We also administered scales of self-justification, reputational concerns, and social norms. This allowed us to test (1) whether justifications indeed allow maintaining a moral self-concept and (2) alternative mechanisms such as reputational concerns (i.e., that people cheat less when there are justifications available because they are less concerned about their reputation) and norms (i.e., that people cheat less when they believe others also do not cheat.). There was more cheating in the justification condition. We did not find evidence for moral self-image scores being different between condition and thus no support role in the mechanism. Thus, we do not find evidence to support the self-concept maintenance theory. Based on our data reputation and norms seem to have an impact and could explain increased cheating in the justification condition.

This paper provides a summary of a project which explored the meanings attached to the terms ‘transparency’, ‘positionality’ and ‘reproducibility’ by researchers from different fields, through dialogue between practice researchers in the arts and psychology. The reflections summarised in this report represent different views from within and across the fields of arts practice research and psychology. There was no attempt to reach a consensus in relation to these terms, but participants and organisers felt that there was inherent value in this cross-disciplinary dialogue. The discussions helped to surface assumptions about research that may be obscured by belonging to a specific research community. Corresponding Author: Neil Jacobs
Religion as a Resource? The Impact of Religiosity on the Sense of Purpose in Life of Young Muslim Refugees in Germany - postprint
Authors: Engel Daniel , Penthin Marcus , Pirner Manfred L. , Riegel Ulrich
Published: April 2024

This study examines the relationship between religiosity and purpose in life among young Muslim refugees (N = 222; mage = 20.18 years) in Germany, which has been hardly explored in research to date. Consistent with previous research, respondents feel some sense of purpose in life, which is moderate but positive and fostered by religiosity. Regression analysis demonstrated that even after controlling for physical health and social support, religiosity remained a substantial predictor of purpose in life whose effect size does not differ significantly, statistically speaking, from the other two variables in the model. The findings emphasize the importance of religiosity and social support for the well-being of young Muslim refugees.
Evolutionary Implications of Multi-Scale Intelligence
Authors: Hartl Benedikt , Risi Sebastian , Levin Michael
Published: April 2024

In recent years, the scientific community has increasingly recognized the complex multi-scale competency architecture (MCA) of biology, comprising nested layers of active homeostatic agents, each forming the self orchestrated substrate for the layer above, and, in turn, relying on the structural and functional plasticity of the layer(s) below. The question of how natural selection could give rise to this MCA has been the focus of intense research. Here, we instead investigate the effects of such decision-making competencies of an MCA’s agential components on the process of evolution itself, using in-silico neuroevolution experiments of simulated, minimal developmental biology. We specifically model the process of morphogenesis with neural cellular automata (NCAs) and utilize an evolutionary algorithm to optimize the corresponding model parameters with the objective of collectively self-assembling a two-dimensional spatial target pattern (reliable morphogenesis). Furthermore, we systematically vary the accuracy with which an NCA’s uni-cellular agents can regulate their cell states (simulating stochastic processes and noise during development). This allowed us to continuously scale the agents’ competency levels from a direct encoding scheme (no competency) to an MCA (with perfect reliability in cell decision executions). We demonstrate that an evolutionary process proceeds much more rapidly when evolving the functional parameters of an MCA compared to evolving the target pattern directly. Moreover, the evolved MCAs generalize well toward system parameter changes and even modified objective functions of the evolutionary process. Thus, the adaptive problem-solving competencies of the agential parts in our NCA-based in-silico morphogenesis model strongly affect the evolutionary process, suggesting significant functional implications of the near-ubiquitous competency seen in living matter.

Published: April 2024

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of embodied learning with and without the use of virtual reality (VR) on children’s literacy skills. We conducted a randomized controlled trial with 108 6-7-year-old children, who were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) a control group, continuing regular classroom teaching, (2) an intervention group receiving teaching focusing on letter-sound couplings with the use of the body (body-phonemes) while wearing VR headsets (VR group), and (3) an intervention group performing body-phonemes without wearing VR headsets (Mirror group). The children were evaluated before (T1) and after (T2) a 2-week intervention period on letter-sound knowledge, spelling, and word reading performance. A between-group analysis showed significant improvements for the VR- and Mirror groups compared to the Control group from T1 to T2 in children’s ability to name conditional letter-sounds (p = 0.009, d = 0.8; p = 0.008, d = 0.8). A within-group analysis showed significant differences in spelling performance from T1 to T2 in the VR- and Mirror group (p = 0.033; p = 0.011) but not for the Control group (p = 0.114). A correlation analysis showed significant correlations between the use of movements and recalling of letter-sounds in both the VR group (r = 0.62, p = 0.00075) and the Mirror group (r = 0.4, p = 0.042). Our results show that a short 2-week intervention using body-phonemes with and without VR increases children’s conditional letter-sound knowledge compared to a control group. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
Mitigating Perceived Polarization by Acknowledging Subjectivity: An Experimental Study of the Impact of Differently Phrasing Comments in Online News Discussions
Authors: Roos Carla Anne , van der Linden Liesje , Krahmer Emiel
Published: April 2024

Many people perceive society as more polarized than it actually is. Arguably, one prominent reason for this false polarization is the apparent hardening of online debates, raising the question whether something can be done to make online discussions more constructive. The current paper tests the effectiveness of subjective phrasing (e.g., “I think”) in reducing perceived polarization and stimulating constructive discussion online. We ask participants (N = 175; repeated-measures) to read and evaluate subjectively and non-subjectively phrased online news discussions about societally polarized and non-polarized topics. In line with our hypotheses, we find that participants perceive discussions with subjectively phrased comments as less polarized and think discussants are less disinhibited, feel more heard and experience more solidarity. Results additionally show that participants are more willing to join such a constructive discussion themselves and tend to copy the prevalent phrasing in formulating their own reaction. Auxiliary analyses show, however, that topic polarization qualifies some of these findings, which indicates interesting links between macro-societal perceptions and micro-level discussion dynamics. This study has implications for realizing deliberative democracy online: adding a simple “I think” might help counter polarization.
Self and Other-Perceived Deception Detection Abilities are Highly Correlated but Unassociated with Objective Detection Ability: Examining the Detection Consensus Effect
Authors: Markowitz David Matthew
Published: April 2024

Subjective lying rates are often strongly and positively correlated. Called the deception consensus effect, people who lie often tend to believe others lie often, too. The present paper evaluated how this cognitive bias also extends to deception detection. Two studies (Study 1: N = 180 students; Study 2: N = 250 people from the general public) had participants make 10 veracity judgments based on videotaped interviews, and also indicate subjective detection abilities (self and other). Subjective detection abilities were significantly linked, supporting a detection consensus effect, yet they were unassociated with objective detection accuracy. More subjectively overconfident detectors (e.g., their subjective detection accuracy was greater than their objective detection accuracy) reported telling more white and big lies, cheated more on a behavioral task, and were more ideologically conservative than less subjectively overconfident detectors. This evidence supports and extends truth-default theory, highlighting possible asymmetries in subjective and objective veracity assessments.
“Invisible Dangers”: unconscious processing of angry vs fearful faces and its relationship to subjective anger

Published: April 2024

Traditional paradigms for studying the unconscious processing of threatening facial expressions have methodological limitations, with most research focusing on fear, leaving important gaps in understanding anger. Using Continuous Flash Suppression (CFS), we compared the emergence times of angry, happy, and fearful expressions into awareness and examined their influence on anger intensity after an anger induction protocol. Results showed that angry faces tended to break suppression faster than happy faces but significantly more slowly than fearful faces. This suggests that processing anger may engage more complex cognitive mechanisms compared to fear, resulting in delayed awareness. Additionally, the faster emergence of fear compared to anger was linked to increased state anger after the induction, indicating that unconscious emotional processing differences can affect subjective anger experiences. These findings provide new insights into how unconscious emotional processing of anger and fear differs, with potential implications for understanding the cognitive basis of anger.

Sustainability has emerged as a key concept in the modern techniques of washing and treating denim. The clothing industry, specifically the denim washing sector, confronts substantial sustainability issues due to its impact on water pollution and the generation of large quantities of chemical waste. This research aims to investigate the long-term sustainability of the nebulization process in the context of denim finishing. The goal is to assess the dependability of the technology as a feasible option by demonstrating its effectiveness using environmental impact measuring software. The environmental impact assessment assesses the ecological consequences of clothing across four fundamental areas: water usage, chemical utilisation, energy consumption in the production process, and labour implications. The aforementioned methods proved to have low energy and water demands, resulting in less waste and pollution. This study evaluated several aspects of nebulization on denim and concluded that nebulization is a beneficial method for applying eco-friendly finishing.

Authors: ПОПЕЛЮШКО Роман
Published: April 2024

Стаття присвячена актуальній проблемі забезпечення психологічної стійкості комбатантів. У статті пропонується огляд передумов порушення психологічної стійкості комбатантів в наслідок їх участі у бойових діях в російсько-Українській війні, характерних особливостей їх психофізичних станів та їх вплив на розвиток дезадаптативних процесів особистості військового. Описано різні способи відновлення психологічної стійкості комбатантів за допомогою психосоціальної адаптації.

Автором обґрунтовано те, що адаптаційна робота з учасниками бойових дій включає використання різноманітних методів, таких як соціальні, психологічні, педагогічні, правові, медичні, фінансово-економічні, інформаційні та трудові. Також було звернено увагу, що оптимізація взаємодії між психологом та комбатантом повинна відбуватися як на індивідуальному і груповому рівнях так і на рівні громади.
ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИЙ ЗМІСТ ТА СТРУКТУРА ОСОБИСТІСНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ

Published: April 2024

Стаття присвячена висвітленню психологічного змісту феномену відповідальності особистості на основі аналізу її психологічних компонентів. Проблема відповідальності зосереджує увагу дослідників різних наукових галузей. Діапазон досліджень свідчить насамперед про безумовну значущість відповідальності у всіх сферах життєдіяльності. У загальнонаукових розвідках відповідальність пов’язується з такими категоріями, як вибір, досягнення, здібності та можливості особистості. Уявлення про системний характер відповідальності передбачає, що вона є не просто однією з властивостей особистості, а її інтегральною якістю, механізмом організації життєдіяльності людини, яка значною мірою визначає якість та успішність діяльності. Завдяки відповідальності досягається особистісна зрілість та інтегрованість.

Відповідальність особистості ґрунтує їй можливість бути суб’єктом, «автором» свого життєвого шляху, переконаним у можливості керувати власним життям, здатність прогнозування майбутнього, осягнення сенсу життя та досягнення життєвої задоволеності.

Hubungan antara Tabungan dan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di Indonesia

Published: April 2024

The debate between two opposing theories of growth continues to this day. Loyalist opinion of the Solow Growth Theory which states that higher savings precede and cause higher economic growth. In the opposite camp, there is another growth theory that is no less powerful than that proposed by Keynes. Supporters of this theory have the view that growth in output (or income) causes growth in savings. Proponents of this theory argue that an increase in output will lead to an increase in income, thereby increasing the level of savings in the economy. This research aims to investigate the causality between savings and economic growth in Indonesia. The data used in this research is time series data from Saving, FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and GDP (real Gross Domestic Product) in Indonesia from 1981 to 2020. All data was obtained by accessing the official website of the International Monetary Fund. The research method used is Toda Yamamoto causality testing. Indonesia tends to agree with the theory presented by Keynes that in Indonesia the savings rate is influenced by GDP and FDI.
