Authors: Diachuk Myhajlo D.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Rehabilitation makes it possible to improve the results of treatment and the quality of a person's life, as well as to reduce health care costs. Evidence-based domestic technologies for the rehabilitation of patients with a surgical profile have not been developed, in particular, for patients with urolithiasis.
Aim. To investigate traditional clinical practice for the rehabilitation of a patient with urolithiasis in a multidisciplinary healthcare facility and to justify and develop a typical patient clinical pathway incorporating rehabilitation technologies.
Materials and methods. European clinical guidelines for the treatment of urolithiasis, systematic reviews and scientific sources from the PUBMED and NICE databases, administrative data for the years 2019-2023 and 236 medical records of inpatients operated on for urolithiasis were selected as research materials; methods: bibliosemantic, systematic approach and analysis, medical-statistical, descriptive and graphic modeling.
Results. It was found that traditional rehabilitation measures on the clinical path of a patient with urolithiasis are fragmentary and limited in content and scope. At the same time, manageable risk factors have been identified that can be targeted for rehabilitation: high levels of chronic non-infectious diseases – circulatory system and endocrine system (respectively, 8,826.7 and 4,809.1 per 10,000 population). In general, there were 1.6 manageable risk factors (irrational diet, overweight, low physical activity, smoking) common to chronic non-communicable diseases per person. The specific weight of urolithiasis in the structure of urological pathology (12.7%) remained stable during the study, and the specific weight of patients with the need for surgical treatment was equal to 90.7%-93.2%. A typical clinical route of a patient with urolithiasis has been substantiated and developed. A feature of the route is the use of a short-term rehabilitation program during conservative treatment, perioperative rehabilitation - in the case of operative treatment, long-term rehabilitation – at the ambulatory stage after conservative and/or operative treatment of urolithiasis. The programs are aimed at reducing the impact of risk factors on the development and/or recurrence of urolithiasis and other most common chronic non-infectious diseases. The programs are carried out by multidisciplinary teams of specialist doctors. The interaction of doctors is ensured by the local medical information system.
Conclusions. A typical clinical pathway for a patient with urolithiasis includes short-term, perioperative and long-term rehabilitation programs. They have the potential to affect not only the health of an individual, but also the entire contingent of the population being served.

Published: July 2024

Introduction. Marital codependency is a common form of family relationships that has significant socio-psychological consequences due to the persistent influence on the personal characteristics of codependent persons. In the sources of scientific literature, the gender-individual-psychological features of marital codependency are insufficiently covered, which determined the relevance of the topic of this study.
Aim. The purpose of the study is to determine the individual psychological characteristics of men and women in codependent marital relationships.
Materials and methods. 39 men and 46 women who are in codependent family relationships took part in the study. The following psychodiagnostic techniques were used: The Codependency Self-Inventory Scale (CSIS); Scale for measuring the level of codependency (D. Spann and D. Fisher); R. M. Hirschfeld Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (IDI); Test-questionnaire for determining self-esteem (S. V. Kovalev); Diagnosis of emotional intelligence (N. Hall); Coping test (R. Lazarus and S. Folkman).
Results. It was established that the formation of codependent marital relationships is influenced by self-esteem, which is low in both codependent men and codependent women. It was found that codependent men and women equally have a low level of emotional intelligence.
Conclusions. Gender differences in the manifestations of interdependence have been revealed. The hypothesis that the individual psychological characteristics of men and women influence the formation of codependent relationships in married couples has been confirmed. It is shown that a low level of the ability to manage emotions and to self-motivate, in combination with greater empathy, makes the coping strategies of codependent women more adaptive, determining their adaptation to codependent relationships and their inability to actively resist, while men are more prone to confrontation and distancing.
Prospective research. An interesting direction of prospective research may be to find out the gender characteristics of the conflict behavior of spouses in codependent relationships. Also, in the future, it is planned to investigate the ability of codependent persons to self-regulate behavior and to cognitively regulate emotions.

Published: July 2024

Introducción: En el entorno empresarial actual, la velocidad para comprender la propia cultura, el compromiso de los líderes y las competencias que deben ser desarrolladas, son consideradas una ventaja competitiva y son aspectos clave del éxito empresarial. Metodología: La investigación fue de tipo cuantitativa a partir de la aplicación de un instrumento que mide los estilos de liderazgo y competencias predominantes, a 441 líderes de una organización financiera privada de gran tamaño en Quito, Ecuador. Resultados: Los estilos de liderazgo obtuvieron correlaciones superiores al 60% con sus competencias asociadas. Además, para los cuatro tipos de cultura, los dos estilos de liderazgo asociados tienen correlaciones estadísticamente significativas y positivas. Discusión: Las competencias asociadas a cada cultura según el modelo, no son exclusivas de los estilos de liderazgo de su propia cultura y por lo tanto la eficacia del liderazgo no se basa en que los líderes utilicen un enfoque de gestión basado en un número limitado de competencias, sino en su combinación sofisticada e innovadora. Conclusiones: Para maximizar la efectividad del liderazgo, es crucial alinear las competencias y los estilos de liderazgo con el tipo de cultura organizacional predominante o de aquella que se desee promover.

. A laser autofluorescence polarization system was developed and experimentally tested, which provides a correlation analysis of phase maps of polycrystalline dehydrated blood films for the express determination of the volume of blood loss. Within the framework of experimental medicine, an experiment was conducted within control and experimental groups of rats with different volumes of blood loss. A set of phase maps was obtained and an algorithm for determining the volume of blood loss was established by calculating the excess of the peak sharpness of the autocorrelation functions. The prospects of using laser-induced autofluorescence polarimetry to expand the functional capabilities of the method and improve its sensitivity at the nanostructural level of supramolecular networks of blood films are noted.

In the article developed as a result of the analysis of the obtained 2D distributions of the anisotropy parameters of the epidermis samples, only linear birefringence was found, the value of which changes in the plane of the section according to the thickness and density of the tissue fibers. Correspondingly, along the same fiber directions, the orientation of the birefringence axis changes smoothly (in the area of ​​the tissue without pathology). For the affected areas of the tissue, the birefringence value is more homogeneous in the cross-section, and in the areas with visible severe damage it is minimal. The change in the orientation of in areas with a small and clearly visible lesion is chaotic. Thus, melanoma destroys epidermal cells so much that they become practically isotropic. Healthy tissue samples have a natural orientational order.

Published: July 2024

The article investigates the problem of centralized user authentication in complex distributed systems using cryptographic tokens based on JWT (JSON Web Token). Such systems allow decreasing request processing times comparable with conventional centralized authentication systems by allowing offline token verification. However, this creates problems with revoking of compromised or blocked tokens. The traditional approach used in such protocols as OAuth2, shifts this problem to the client side, complicating the client side and making the API more difficult to use. The article discusses the use of an approach that allows developers to keep all costs on the validation token validation on the server side without making significant changes to the system by blocklists. It is suggested to use probabilistic filters to transmit updates about blocked tokens. Such filters at the cost of losing some precision in checking if the entry belongs to the set of elements, using significantly less memory than would be necessary to store all the elements of the set. They are usually used to avoid slow operations such as disk or network access. As a result, it significantly reduces the memory usage on the services end and decreases the traffic volumes between the system components. The criteria for evaluating the performance of probabilistic filters were discussed for the task of periodically updating the lists of blocked identifiers of access tokens. Also various implementations of probabilistic filters were analyzed according to criteria. At the end recommendations for the application of specific probabilistic filters implementations and their parameters for distributed systems of various sizes are provided.

Published: July 2024

Cohesion and coherent writing are important aspects of a well-written paragraph. For a paragraph to successfully communicate its meaning, it must be coherent and cohesive. Examining how English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students use discourse connectors in their writing was the aim of this study. The argumentative essays written by students enrolled in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses were the main focus of the study. Thirty-six essays from ESP students were chosen as the sample for this study using a purposive sampling technique. Methods of quantitative analysis were applied to the data. The results showed that the students' use of a wide variety of discourse connectors was lacking. Furthermore, they did not use enough accurate discourse connections. Additionally, it was seen that discourse connectors were being used excessively. In addition, the discourse connectors "and," "or," "because (of)," and "so (that)" were most frequently employed. The study produced a number of recommendations for instructional strategies and further investigation. Lastly, it was anticipated that this study would be helpful for future research on the application of discourse connectors.

The dynamics of the diffraction peak 0012 parameters of LiNbO3:Fe crystals with a time resolution of less than 1 ns were recorded by synchronizing nanosecond laser pulses with electron bunches of the KISI-Kurchatov synchrotron source. The influence of a laser pulse (λ = 532 nm, t = 4 ns, energy density 0.6 J/cm2) at different polarization directions of the laser radiation causes a change in the peak intensity, which depends on the angle between the polarization direction of the laser radiation and the crystallographic axes. The obtained results are supplemented with wavelet analysis of experimental data. The observed polarization dependence correlates with published data on the photovoltaic effect.

Растворы полисульфида кальция, приготовленные из механоактивированной серы, использованы для химического осаждения наночастиц серы (наносера) в водной среде и на разные подложки. Осажденные наночастицы были охарактеризованы с помощью лазерного анализатора размера частиц, рентгеновской дифракции, оптической микроскопии, инфракрасной и ультрафиолетовой спектрометрии. Установлено, что из полисульфида кальция в водной среде синтезируется орторомбическая фаза наносеры сферической морфологии со средним размером 20 нм, которая укрупняется со временем до микронных размеров со скоростью, которая увеличивается с ростом температуры. Впервые установлены кинетические закономерности роста наносеры. Обнаружено, что при осаждении на стеклянную подложку раствора полисульфида кальция наблюдается равномерное распределение наносеры в виде капель со средним размером 2 мкм, которые по мере высыхания преобразуются в кристаллы. Пропускание углекислого газа через раствор полисульфида кальция приводит к со-осаждению нанокомпозита серы с карбонатом кальция в фазах кальцита и витерита. При обработке пористой поверхности газобетона наносерой образуется устойчивое покрытие из гидрофобной серы, которая препятствует проникновению воды вглубь материала.

Published: July 2024

Moisture of high voltage distribution network cables will cause major safety hazard, but there is no effective means to detect and analyze the internal humidity state of the cables. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new non-destructive detection method to evaluate the waterproof performance of distribution network cables and their connectors. The internal structure of the cable is a multi-layer structure composed of wires, cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer, and silicone rubber insulation sheath. We used the reflective terahertz pulse signal to detect the internal states of the cable, and judge whether it contains water stains according to the echo characteristics. In addition, three-dimensional data was obtained through cylindrical coordinate scanning and terahertz images were reconstructed based on feature information, which were consistent with the distribution of water stains between the cable insulation sheath and cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer. The results show that the terahertz technology can realize the high sensitivity detection of cable moisture state, which is of great significance in the power and transmission industry.

Contemporary Television Reading of I. Nechuy-Levytsky’s Novel “Kaidash’s Family”: Semiotic Aspect
Authors: Zemliana Svitlana
Published: July 2024

This article meticulously examines the semiotic aspects of the contemporary televisual adaptation of I. Nechuy-Levytsky’s story “Kaidash’s Family”, directed by N. Vorozhbyt. It outlines the intricate specifics of the adaptation process against its historical backdrop, with particular focus on the temporal shift to the modern era (2010–2014) and subsequent thematic reinterpretations. The semiotic ramifications interwoven into the translation of literary language and the visual lexicon of the film have been scrutinized. Through a comprehensive analysis of narrative structure, thematic motifs, and ideological reconfigurations, the transformation and reinterpretation of semiotic signifiers from a literary source into a cinematic medium are elucidated. The adaptation strategically diverges from the original literary source, skillfully introducing new thematic elements such as rampant consumerism, rural unemployment, and a crisis of cultural identity. This transformative process entails the nuanced decoding of literary signs into visual and auditory realms, wherein cinematic techniques are employed to encapsulate the essence of the original narrative. The intricate intertextual dialogues embedded in the adaptation are also examined, highlighting the adept utilization of audiovisual cues such as motifs from radio news to convey multifaceted layers of meaning to the audience. The portrayal of landscapes and visual elements in both iterations is juxtaposed to discern subtle disparities in the depiction of the Ukrainian countryside. It is concluded that the creative ethos of the adaptation hinges on cross-mediality and the synergistic interaction of artistic mediums, engendering a synesthetic experience for the audience. By adeptly navigating the intricate interplay between literary and cinematographic signifiers, the screen adaptation adeptly reshapes the narrative landscape for modern viewers, while preserving the essence of I. Nechuy-Levytsky’s original work.
From “Parability” to a film parable: Specifics of the Cinematic Novella by I. Drach “A Spring for the Thirsty”
Authors: Nikoriak Nataliia
Published: July 2024

Over the past decades, Ukrainian literary studies have been actively dealing with the interdisciplinary analysis of literary texts that are functioning on the verge of different artistic systems. This phenomenon may be explained by the tendency of art to the cross-genre transgression, which results in the complexity of text bounding principles, whereby the texts themselves are not only borrowed from other types of art or interpreted, but have also their codes creatively deformed. Today, however, the issue of genre continuity in the discourse of the poetics of intermediality is getting especially significant, and in particular, the issue of the specifics of the reception and transformation of literary genres in cinematography. The cinematic novella “A Spring for the Thirsty” (1964) by I. Drach is a text that is close in its parameters to the peculiarities of parable poetics, which has been fully implemented in the film by Y. Ilyenko (1965). Direct instruction and unambiguous didacticism (characteristic of the parable genre) are reinforced by philosophical reflection (from prologue to epilogue). The key character is portrayed primarily through the psychological motivation of his actions, with features of a certain idealization of the image in the dichotomous tandem of “parents and children”. In terms of parable specifics, particular emphasis has been laid on the tendency to special generalization, which is marked with the highest degree of conventionality, the principle of abstraction of the idea, and the universality of the chronotope. I. Drach actively uses dreams or visions (metaphorical or symbolic) that are montaged with the main events of the text, thus relaying old Levko’s inner experiences, sub-consciousness, fears, or hopes, while blurring the line between reality and unreality. The use of such duality in the narrative of the text, reinforced by the active insertion of intertextual and intermedial codes, offers a deep philosophical subtext inherent in the parable.

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing public health concern affecting millions of individuals worldwide. This disease burden is exacerbated in countries like Bangladesh, where public awareness and knowledge about the condition remains limited.

Objective:

This study aimed to assess the level of AD knowledge, awareness, and perceived threat among family caregivers of individuals with chronic physical conditions of Bangladesh.

Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the caregivers of patients selected via convenience sampling in six public hospitals between October 2022 and March 2023. The data was collected via face-to-face interviews employing a semi-structured questionnaire that contained information about socio-demographic characteristics, personal experiences with AD, knowledge of AD, level of awareness regarding AD, and perceived threat toward AD.

Results:

The findings revealed a poor knowledge of AD among the study participants. Regarding AD awareness, 52.5% considered memory loss in older individuals abnormal, 26.2% attributed AD to causes like black magic, psychological distress, or bad eyes. Regarding perceived threat, 60.2% wanted to assess their AD risk, while 68.2% disagreed with the likelihood of developing the disease. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, place of residence, education, and employment status significantly contribute to AD knowledge scores.

Conclusions:

This study highlights the urgent need for public education and awareness campaigns to address the knowledge gap and reduce stigmatization associated with AD in Bangladesh. Targeted efforts, particularly among older age groups and rural communities, can enhance understanding and improve the quality of care and support for AD patients and their caregivers.

BACKGROUND:

Information regarding seropositivity and vaccine efficacy among medical students is scarce. This study aims to detect the status of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies among the Sinopharm’s Vero Cell (BBIBP-CorV) vaccinated medical students.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out among medical students of Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal from March through August 2022. The level of SARS-CoV-2 serum- neutralizing IgG antibody was measured and its relation with participants’ age and sex, duration of vaccination, and any comorbid condition was determined.

RESULTS:

A total of 110 medical students were included in the final analysis, the majority being females (65.5%) and the mean age is 23.1 [Formula: see text] 3.2 years. Most of the students (96.4%) had neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Among the 29 (26.36%) students who received a booster dose, the positivity rate was 100%. The mean IgG levels were 9.57 [Formula: see text] 9.58 [Formula: see text]g/ml and 2.91 [Formula: see text] 2.47 [Formula: see text]g/ml among students receiving an additional booster dose and among those not receiving it, respectively. In the cohort receiving a booster dose of the vaccine, the average value of neutralizing IgG antibodies was high. In contrast, the ones not receiving it, the titers were low and showed a declining trend.

CONCLUSION:

Though the dose strategy of the Sinopharm vaccine is effective, booster vaccination may be an important strategy to ensure protection among medical students, who are at high risk of COVID-19 due to constant patient exposure during their training. Further studies should assess vaccine efficacy among individuals who received other vaccines as well.

Published: July 2024

The Usage-Based Insurance paradigm, which is receiving a lot of attention in recent years, envisages computing the car policy premium based on accident risk probability, evaluated observing the past driving history and habits. However, Usage-Based Insurance strategies are usually based on simple empirical decision rules built on travelled distance. The development of intelligent systems for smart risk prediction using the stored overall driving behaviour, without the need of other insurance or socio-demographic information, is still an open challenge. This work aims at exploring a comprehensive machine learning-based approach solely based on driving-related data of private vehicles. The anonymized dataset employed in this study is provided by the telematics company UnipolTech, and contains space/time densely measured data related to trips of almost 100000 vehicles uniformly spread on the Italian territory, recorded every 2 km by on-board telematics fix devices (black boxes), from February 2018 to February 2020. An innovative feature engineering process is proposed, with the aim of uncovering novel informative quantities able to disclose complex aspects of driving behaviour. Recent and powerful learning techniques are explored to develop advanced predictive models, able to provide a reliable accident probability for each vehicle, automatically managing the critical imbalance intrinsically peculiar this kind of datasets.

Background:

Previous trials have indicated that multimodal training could improve cognitive functions and moods in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, evidence was mainly obtained from studies in high-income countries.

Objective:

This trial aims to investigate the efficacy, safety, and potential mechanism of a multimodal intervention on cognitive function in individuals with MCI living in a community.

Methods:

In this single-blind, randomized controlled trial, 120 participants with MCI were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group received the multimodal intervention, while the control group received regular health education. Neuropsychological tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were conducted at baseline and after the 12-week intervention.

Results:

Fifty-nine and fifty-seven participants respectively in the intervention and control groups completed the trial. The intervention group shown improvements in primary outcome, Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) total score (mean difference –0.96, 95% CI [–1.58, –0.34], p = 0.003), and secondary outcomes: MMSE recall (–0.39, 95% CI [–0.71, –0.07], p = 0.019), MMSE language (–0.26, 95% CI [–0.44, –0.07], p = 0.007), Auditory Verbal Learning Test instantaneous memory (–3.30, 95% CI [–5.70, –0.89], p = 0.008), Digit Symbol Substitution Test total score (–2.91, 95% CI [–5.67, –0.15], p = 0.039), digit span forwards (–1.25, 95% CI [–1.93, –0.56], p < 0.001), and Digit Span Test (–1.33, 95% CI [–2.33, –0.34], p = 0.009) compared to the control group. Improvements were observed in structural and functional connectivity related to language, concentration, executive function, memory, and recall functioning via MRI in the intervention group.

Conclusions:

The multimodal intervention improved cognitive function in individuals with MCI in cognitive performance and neuroimaging.

Background:

Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy lack curative treatments. Registers can facilitate therapy development, serving as a platform to study epidemiology, assess clinical trial feasibility, identify eligible candidates, collect real-world data, perform post-market surveillance, and collaborate in (inter)national data-driven initiatives.

Objective:

In addressing these facets, it’s crucial to gather high-quality, interchangeable, and reusable data from a representative population. We introduce the Dutch Dystrophinopathy Database (DDD), a national registry for patients with DMD or BMD, and females with pathogenic DMD variants, outlining its design, governance, and use.

Methods:

The design of DDD is based on a system-independent information model that ensures interoperable and reusable data adhering to international standards. To maximize enrollment, patients can provide consent online and participation is allowed on different levels with contact details and clinical diagnosis as minimal requirement. Participants can opt-in for yearly online questionnaires on disease milestones and medication and to have clinical data stored from visits to one of the national reference centers. Governance involves a general board, advisory board and database management.

Results:

On November 1, 2023, 742 participants were enrolled. Self-reported data were provided by 291 Duchenne, 122 Becker and 38 female participants. 96% of the participants visiting reference centers consented to store clinical data. Eligible patients were informed about clinical studies through DDD, and multiple data requests have been approved to use coded clinical data for quality control, epidemiology and natural history studies.

Conclusion:

The Dutch Dystrophinopathy Database captures long-term patient and high-quality standardized clinician reported healthcare data, supporting trial readiness, post-marketing surveillance, and effective data use using a multicenter design that is scalable to other neuromuscular disorders.

BACKGROUND: Challenging behaviours and emotional dysregulation are common sequelae of acquired brain injury (ABI), but treatment remain underdeveloped. Dialectical behaviour therapy is an evidence-based therapy for emotional dysregulation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of dialectical behaviour therapy for ABI. METHODS: An exploratory longitudinal study that compared thirty adults with brain injury presenting persistent emotion dysregulation or challenging behaviours. Control group received a personalized multidisciplinary program only (n = 13). The dialectical behaviour therapy group received five months of emotion regulation skills learning as an add-on (n = 17). Preliminary efficacy was measured on Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-16 and Quality of Life after Brain Injury total score and emotion subscore. RESULTS: Fourteen participants completed the dialectical behaviour therapy. This study provided preliminary evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of dialectical behaviour therapy. Repeated measures revealed improvement on the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-16 (–7.6 [–17.3; 1.7]; Pr = 0.95) and on the Quality Of Life emotion subscore (13.5 [–3.8; 30.9]; Pr = 0.94). CONCLUSION: This study raises important questions regarding the type of patients who can benefit from this intervention, necessary adaptations of dialectical behaviour therapy and the way it can help post-traumatic growth and identity reconstruction after ABI.
