Published: December 2024

Rhythmic auditory stimulation is a commonly used therapeutic method involving repetitive movements cued by rhythmic sounds, aiming to support movement (re-)learning as well as attentional orienting. While musical properties of the cue have been extensively studied, not much is known about the role of individual differences in cognitive and motor abilities that enable sensorimotor synchronization. In this study, 50 participants performed a finger tapping task under various conditions. Tapping was performed as a stand-alone task (single task), and simultaneously with 2-Back working memory task (dual task), to sounds with differing levels of rhythmic complexity (metronome vs. music), both having a clear, steady beat. Standardized neuropsychological tests were related to tapping timing and force in the single task and to their dual task cost (interference). Participants tapped with lower consistency in the dual task for both auditory cues. Poorer cognitive inhibition and better gross motor ability each predicted greater applied force. In contrast, participants with poorer fine motor ability also tapped with lower force. A an inverse U-shape relation emerged (but did not survive sensitivity analysis) between fine motor ability and tapping timing consistency, where both poorer and better fine motor abilities predicted higher consistency. These non-linear relationships were shown for the single and dual tasks, but not for the dual task cost. Overall, this study highlights the complex interactions of aspects of movement and cognitive abilities with sensorimotor synchronization, which is essential to many music-based interventions, and highlights the importance of the consideration of individual baseline abilities.
Pengaruh Mineral Pada Foliasi Terhadap Sifat Fisik dan Mekanik Batuan Metamorf di Daerah Bayat, Klaten, Jawa Tengah
Authors: Pratama Gilang Rizki , Ediyanto Ediyanto
Published: December 2024

Bayat area is a place where one of the three oldest rock outcrops in Java is Pre-Tertiary and Paleogene age. Due to its geological conditions and relatively old age, the Bayat area is exposed to many distinctive metamorphic rocks. These rocks include rocks including marble, schist, phyllite, serpentinite, quartzite of Pre-Tertiary age, siltstone, sandstone, limestone, and igneous rocks including gabbro intrusions, basalt, and micro diorite. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a diversity of mineralogical, petrographic characteristics, and engineering properties. The results from 3 types of schist, namely mica schist, green schist, and graphite schist, show that the mechanical strength of the samples is generally the result of various parameters, such as foliation angle, mineral type, mineral size, and degree of weathering. The dominant minerals that comprise these three types of schist are mica, chlorite, quartz, k-feldspar and actinolite. The compressive strength test of the rock used the Point load index test method with the results of the compressive strength of green schist being 10.34 Mpa, mica schist being 4.66 Mpa, and graphite schist being 6.74. Linear regression correlation analysis is used to determine the magnitude of the correlation coefficient between mineral parameters and compressive strength so as to know how big the relationship between the two is and produce certainty of the correlation.
National «voices» of academic musical performance in a globalized world
Authors: Katrych Olha
Published: December 2024

The ontological parameters of the national identification of musical performance of the academic tradition are considered. In the course of modern processes of cultural globalization and musical-professional unification, nationally characteristic features of Ukrainian musical performance are highlighted. The stylistic features and archetypal characteristics inherent in the artistic thinking of Ukrainian musicians-performers, which form the national sound ideal, are outlined.
The relevance of the study is related to the uncertainty in modern music science of the ontological parameters of the national identification of the performing arts of the academic tradition. This, in turn, determines the main objective of the study - by outlining the constant stylistic parameters and archetypal features inherent in the artistic thinking of Ukrainian musicians, to determine the expressive resource of modern Ukrainian academic musical and performing arts in relation to the representation of national cultural identity in the globalized world.
Theoretical base. The methodological support of the proposed reasoning is provided by the works of: philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies by Mladen Dolar, Wolfgang Shluchter, Boris Johnson, Ivan Lysy, Dmytro Chyzhevskyi, Dmytro Dontsov, etc.; of musicology - Oleksandr Kozarenko, Nadia Suprun-Yaremko, Yakov Soroker, David Hezmondalsh, etc., as well as their own scientific positions, published in publications on the issues of music and performing arts.
The applied scientific methodology combines the methods of discourse analysis, empirical observations of the practice of performing activities, including data from one's own listening experience, musical comparativistics, and musicological generalizations.
The scientific novelty of the applied approach is determined by the justification of the feasibility of using it as a musicological and analytical toolkit for research and national identification of the phenomena of musical and performing art of the philosophical category of the voice and the musicological category of the national sound ideal as reflecting genetically related phenomena. The summary summarizes the results of the research and characterizes the practical value of the presented considerations, which consists in enriching the analytical apparatus of musical science for in-depth study of the processes of musical and performing creativity. The further prospects of the development of Ukrainian musical performance in the role of the "voice of Ukrainian culture" in the world are indicated.
أثر العمى في شعرية بشار بن برد وتشكيل صراع الذات عنده
Authors: صفاء محمد سلمان أبو غليون
Published: December 2024

تتناول هذه الدراسة أثر عاهة العمى في تشكيل رؤية الشاعر بشار بن برد لنفسه وللآخرين، إضافة إلى أثرها في تقييم إبداعه وشعريته. وتأتي هذه الدراسة نتيجة الاختلاف الكبير الذي نلاحظه في مستوى خطاب الشاعر واختلاف ردّات أفعاله تجاه الناس من حوله، ولقلّة الدراسات التي تتناول قِطَعًا أدبية قديمة قدَم شعر بشار بن برد، إضافة إلى عدم اقترابها من المنهج النفسي والفلسفي في تحليل النصوص الأدبية. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التعريف بمفهومي الأنا والآخر وتتبع الآراء الفلسفية والنفسية التي دارت حولهما، ثم دراسة تأثير الحالة الشعورية التي يعيشها الشاعر في تشكيل ردود فعله العنيفة تجاه الآخرين الذين واجههم في حياته الشاقة، ومحاولة إسقاط المفاهيم النظرية النفسية في الكشف عن نفسية بشار بن برد من خلال تحليل خطابه ومواقف من حياته تحليلًا نقديًا نظريًّا، واستعانت الدراسة بالمنهجي التحليلي والوصفي، من خلال إجراء استقراء ناقد لظروف الشاعر ومستوى خطابه ما بين الثبات والتغيير باختلاف الآخر الذي يخاطبه وانطلاقًا من ظروفه القاسية. وقد توصلت هذه الدراسة إلى اختلاف وجهات نظر النقاد في شعريه بشار بن برد ما بين الماضي والحاضر، وإلى كون ذلك يرجع إلى صعوبة ظروفه النفسية التي أفرزت بالتالي ردّات أفعال متباينة تجاه الآخرين، واختلاف تلك الردّات تبعًا لنوع الآخر الذي واجهه في حياته، إضافة إلى بروز أناوات مختلفة عند الشاعر، منها الضعيفة المنكسرة ومنها المتمردة المفتخرة أو الضائعة.

Published: December 2024

Цель: В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с проводимой Национальным банком Казахстана монетарной политики и ее влияния на развитие экономики страны. Применяемая денежно-кредитная политика направлена на борьбу с инфляцией и не учитывает общеэкономические интересы страны, не обеспечивая экономического роста, основанного на расширенном воспроизводстве товаров.
Методы: В ходе работы применялись классические приемы и методы обработки информации: группировка, классификация, логическое моделирование, обобщение и систематизация, синтез, системный подход, сравнение, экстраполяция тенденций. Обзор зарубежных и отечественных научных трудов по проблеме инфляционного таргетирования позволили изучить назначение, суть и методы такой монетарной политики, выявить ее преимущества и недостатки применительно к экономике развивающихся стран.
Результаты: Сжатие денежной массы в стране, в результате борьбы с инфляцией, приводит к недокредитованности реального сектора экономики и сокращению инвестиций в промышленности. При достаточно дли тельном периоде реализации такой денежно-кредитной политики, страна втягивается в стагфляционную ловушку, при которой снижаются темпы экономического роста, растет инфляция и безработица.
Выводы: Главным следствием такой монетарной политики, становится недостижение целей по диверсификации экономики страны и уходу от сырьевой зависимости. Поэтому задачей данного исследования является выявление причин и следствий реализации денежно-кредитной политики Национального банка.

Published: December 2024

Object: The purpose of this article is to analyze foreign experience in supporting women scientists in order to develop recommendations for Kazakhstan.
Methods: This article used an integrated approach to the choice of methodology. The research methods were generally scientific, these are dialectics, a systematic approach, methods of analysis and synthesis, typology, generalization and refinement. That is, the methodology section includes a set of methods used to analyze the state of women scientists in the world based on foreign documents.
Results: During the study, indicators of the share of female scientists among the total number of scientists in the countries of the world were studied. It was found that in the post — Soviet countries the proportion of women scientists is more than 50 %, in developed countries the proportion of women scientists is relatively low. Here, firstly, we can see a large number of scientists in developed countries, and secondly, we can see a large number of foreign women scientists. And the situation in Kazakhstan and the CIS states is the opposite. In addition, programs to support women scientists in the leading countries of the world were discussed.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the opportunities and rights of women scientists abroad are wider than those of domestic scientists. the potential of domestic women scientists is not revealed in the development of the country's economy. In this regard, directions were proposed to support women scientists in Kazakhstan. The theoretical value of this article is to fill the theory in the problem of studying the empowerment of female scientists. The practical significance of this study is the proposed provisions that can be checked by public administration bodies.
Pseudospectra of the direct sum of linear operators in ultrametric Banach spaces
Authors: Ettayb J.
Published: December 2024

In this paper, a characterization of essential pseudospectra of bounded linear operators on ultrametric Banach spaces over a spherically complete field was given and the notions of pseudospectra and condition pseudospectra of the direct sum of linear operators on ultrametric Banach spaces were introduced. In particular, we proved that the pseudospectra of the direct sum of bounded linear operators associated with various ε are nested sets and that the intersection of all the pseudospectra of bounded linear operators is the spectrum of the direct sum of bounded linear operators in the direct sum of ultrametric Banach spaces. In addition, many results were proved about them and examples were given.

Authors: Bobodzhanova M.A. , Kalimbetov B.T. , Safonov V.F.
Published: December 2024

Singularly perturbed integro-differential equations with degenerate kernels are considered. It is shown that in the linear case these problems are always uniquely solvable with continuous coefficients, while nonlinear problems either have no real solutions at all or have several of them. For linear problems, the results of Bobojanova are refined; in particular, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a finite limit of their solutions as the small parameter tends to zero and sufficient conditions under which the passage to the limit to the solution of the degenerate equation is possible.

Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model Decision Tree yang dapat memprediksi prestasi akademik matematika siswa kelas VIII di SMP Frater Don Bosco Manado, serta untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis faktor-faktor penting yang perlu diperhatikan oleh orang tua dalam upaya meningkatkan prestasi akademik anak mereka. Data dikumpulkan melalui dokumentasi nilai akademik siswa, catatan kehadiran, dan kuesioner yang diisi oleh siswa untuk memperoleh informasi tentang dukungan keluarga, banyaknya kegiatan ekstrakurikuler yang diikuti, lama belajar, dan tingkat pendidikan orang tua. Data tersebut dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan data mining dengan model Decision Tree. Dua model dikembangkan dan dibandingkan: model pertama tanpa seleksi fitur dan model kedua dengan seleksi fitur menggunakan metode SelectKBest. Model tanpa seleksi fitur mencapai akurasi 93,33%, sementara model dengan seleksi fitur mencapai akurasi 95,56%. Evaluasi terhadap pentingnya fitur menunjukkan bahwa tanpa seleksi fitur, nilai rapor matematika semester sebelumnya menjadi fitur yang paling dominan, diikuti oleh nilai ulangan harian dan banyaknya kegiatan ekstrakurikuler yang diikuti. Sebaliknya, dalam model dengan SelectKBest, durasi belajar menjadi fitur yang paling signifikan, diikuti oleh tingkat pendidikan ayah, dukungan keluarga, dan nilai ulangan harian. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan seleksi fitur tidak hanya meningkatkan akurasi prediksi tetapi juga membantu mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor kunci yang perlu difokuskan oleh orang tua, seperti durasi belajar, pendidikan orang tua, dukungan keluarga, partisipasi dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler, dan nilai akademik sebelumnya, untuk meningkatkan prestasi akademik siswa.
Mecca, Basra and Baghdad: Economic Situation During the Classical Period of Islam
Authors: Yuksel Ahmet Turan
Published: December 2024

This study examines in general terms three cities that were prominent trade centers from the Ignorance period to the first centuries of Islam. Because Mecca, Basra and Baghdad are the most notable cities throughout Islamic History. Mecca, which is the mother of cities as mentioned in the Holy Quran, was also an important trade centre in the pre-Islamic period. Thanks to the fairs held during the pilgrimage season and especially the ‘Ukāẓ Fair, Mecca has witnessed a very active cultural and economic activity. In addition to its geographical location, for example with Ilâf has also gained the status of an international trade centre. Basra, which was founded as the headquarters city during the caliphate of Umar, developed over time and became one of the schools of religious sciences, while on the other hand, it became one of the main trade centres of the region with its markets, especially Mirbaḍ. It has become a trading city connecting the Arabian Peninsula with Egypt, the coast of Southern Iran, India, Indonesia and China via the Red Sea. On the other hand, Baghdad, which is among the largest metropolises not only of the Islamic world but also of the whole world, has maintained this feature for centuries as a center that directs economic life. Founded during the reign of the Abbasid Caliph Mansur, Baghdad attracts attention with its city model having many different bazaars, as well as being the center of the caliphate of the Islamic world. At the same time, it is primarily in contact with the entire Islamic world through its wide network of land routes and maritime trade. It is the main centre of trade relations with separate regions of Transoxania, China and India. All three cities were affected positively and negatively by political developments throughout Classical Period of Islamic History. In parallel with these influences, their roles in economic and commercial life have differed. However, the traces they left throughout history still maintain their importance even today.
Irak Makamındaki “Zâhidâ Sûret Gözetme İçeru Gir Câna Bak” İsimli Eserin Türk Mûsikîsi Usûl Kuramı Işığında İrdelenmesi
Authors: Durak Münevver Betül , Gönül Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Türk mûsikîsi; makam, usûl, perde, form, üslûp, tavır, meşk ve benzeri unsurları içinde barındıran, geniş bir coğrafyaya yayılmış köklü bir mûsikîdir. Böyle geniş bir alanda icrâ edilen Türk mûsikîsi; zamanla hem form hem makam hem de usûl bakımından oldukça zengin bir çeşitliliğe ulaşmıştır. Bu çeşitlilik bestekârlara büyük bir özgürlük alanı sunmakta ve mûsikî birikimlerini besteledikleri eserlere daha rahat bir şekilde aktarmalarını sağlamaktadır. Bestekârlar bu özgürlük alanı içerisinde; usûl, makam, nağme ve güfte ile alakalı mûsikî kudretlerini besteledikleri eserler ile ortaya koymaya çalışmışlardır. Mûsikîmizde usûl kavramı büyük önem arz etmektedir. Besteli formlarda (Kasîde, gazel, uzun hava, bozlak, taksim gibi serbest icrâ edilen formların dışında kalan, belirli bir usûl ya da usûller ile bestelenen formlar) öncelikli unsurlardan biridir. Bestekâr güftenin ve nağmenin anlamını usûl ile pekiştirerek eserine canlılık katmaktadır. Bu sebeple bestekârların büyük ölçüde usûl bilgisine sahip olması gerekmektedir. Türk mûsikîsinde eserlerin usûllerinin yanlış tespit edilmesi, dolayısıyla yanlış notaya alınmasıyla veya usûller doğru tespit edilse bile usûle uygun giderle icrâ edilmemesiyle eserler başkalaşmıştır. Bestede asıl olan nağme, nağmeyi ortaya çıkaran da usûldür. Dolayısıyla güftenin, nağme ve usûl ile uyumlu olması gerekmektedir. Güfte; nağme ve usûl ile uyumlu olmadığında eserde prozodik hatalar oluşmaktadır. Bu hatalar yüzünden eserlerin usûl ve giderlerinin yanlış tespit edilmesiyle formlar başkalaşmakta, güftelerinin yanlış yazılması sebebiyle de anlam kaymaları meydana gelmektedir. Usûl bu sorunların tamamını ortadan kaldırmaktadır. Bu sebeple çalışmamızda Bestesi Sultan Üçüncü Selim’e, güftesi Niyâz-i Mısrî’ye ait olan Irak makamında ve İlâhi formunda bestelenen “Zâhidâ sûret gözetme içeru gir câna bak” isimli eser Türk mûsikîsi usûl kuramı ışığında incelenmiştir.
Comparing adjacent segment biomechanics between anterior and posterior cervical fusion using patient-specific finite element modeling
Authors: Harinathan Balaji , Jebaseelan Davidson , Yoganandan Narayan , Vedantam Aditya
Published: December 2024

Study Design: This study employed a patient-specific finite element model.Purpose: To quantify the effect of anterior and posterior surgical approaches on adjacent segment biomechanics of the patient-specific spine and spinal cord.Overview of Literature: Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is a well-documented complication following cervical fusion, typically resulting from accelerated osteoligamentous deterioration and subsequent symptomatic neural compression. Despite the known impact of spinal fusion on adjacent segment biomechanics, comprehensive comparison between anterior and posterior surgical approaches remains elusive. Understanding these biomechanical changes is crucial for predicting and managing ASD, thereby aiding preoperative surgical planning.Methods: Patient-specific finite element modeling (FEM) of the cervical spine and spinal cord were created. Surgical simulation was performed for multi-segment anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) (C4–C7) and posterior cervical laminectomy with fusion (PCLF) (C5–6 laminectomy and C4–C7 fusion). Physiological motions were simulated by applying a 2 Nm moment and 75 N force.Results: At the superior adjacent segment, the ACDF model exhibited a higher range of motion (ROM) during neck flexion compared to PCLF. Conversely, in neck extension, PCLF showed a higher ROM than ACDF. At the superior adjacent segment, the ACDF model showed greater spinal cord stress during flexion. During extension, PCLF was associated with greater spinal cord stress. At the inferior adjacent segment, ACDF was associated with greater spinal cord stress than PCLF during flexion. At the superior adjacent segment, ACDF also led to increased intradiskal pressure and capsular ligament strain during flexion, whereas PCLF showed these increases during extension.Conclusions: Our findings indicate the differential effect of ACDF and PCLF on biomechanics at the cervical spine’s adjacent segments, with the patient-specific model with ACDF showing greater changes and potential for degeneration. This study highlights the utility of patient-specific FEMs in enhancing surgical decision-making through personalized medicine.

Nesta pesquisa nosso objetivo foi mobilizar os estudos da Geografia da Infância para contribuir com a melhoria da qualidade do Ensino Fundamental nas escolas parceiras. Utilizamos os estudos no campo da Geografia da Infância para inovar pedagogicamente no ensino fundamental. Neste sentido construímos parcerias com escolas públicas do Ensino Fundamental, sendo estas, nosso campo de pesquisa. Usamos como referência metodológica a pesquisa qualitativa de cunho participante, tendo em vista que desejamos que os passos metodológicos de nossa pesquisa fossem dados em conjunto com as escolas parceiras. A primeira fase da pesquisa foi centrada na observação das dinâmicas de nosso campo de estudo. A segunda fase foi o planejamento conjunto de sequências didáticas onde utilizamos a interdisciplinaridade entre Geografia, Matemática e Linguagem para espacializar a aula. O lúdico foi nossa principal estratégia e esteve presente em todas as atividades desenvolvidas. O acolhimento às crianças foi um dos principais resultados de nossa estratégia, indicando que é possível compreender o espaço geográfico a partir do olhar e vivências infantis, alcançando um aprendizado prazeroso, que integra o estudante no processo educacional por meio de seus conhecimentos de mundo, sem desconsiderar a essência científica da geografia. As categorias de análise da Geografia são alargadas quando consideram o olhar infantil. Entendemos que os espaços das cidades também são espaços infantis e buscamos trazer essa compreensão durante nossas intervenções, observando que esses lugares são formadores da identidade das nossas crianças. Mesmo quando estes espaços não são pensados para elas, as crianças subvertem a ordem e se apropriam deles, dando aos mesmos novos significados. Diante destes achados não resta dúvidas que as crianças têm espacialidade, já que produzem a mesma a partir das brincadeiras e jogos em seu cotidiano.

Com o advento da propaganda os jovens brasileiros estão tendo que aprender a gerir suas finanças cada vez mais cedo. Diante disso, mediante o reduzido conhecimento dessas ações por parte das famílias, fica incumbido a escola um dos papéis de formar cidadãos conscientes financeiros, esse processo se daria integrando as aulas de matemática financeira que é definida como o estudo do dinheiro no decorrer do tempo, esse ramo é uma das fases importantes da formação da educação financeira, que por sua vez se caracteriza como um estudo mais amplo das finanças que engloba também a parte sociocomportamental do consumidor. Nessa perspectiva, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a abordagem da educação financeira a partir de exercícios propostos nos livros didáticos de matemática do ensino médio aprovados no PNLD 2021, para tanto foram selecionados os volumes aprovados, destacados os livros destaques na escolha das escolas de ensino médio do Piauí que apresentam capítulos ou seções que fazem referência a educação financeira e matemática financeira e classificar os exercícios propostos nos livros didáticos com base nas ideias sobre ambientes de aprendizagem da Educação Matemática Critica (EMC) de Ole Skovsmose (2000), renomado matemático e pesquisador dinamarquês, desenvolvedor da EMC, ideia na qual as aulas de matemática fogem do tradicionalismo e passam a interagir com o cotidiano dos alunos. Em suma, a partir da análise dos livros, notou-se que os livros apresentam questões que expressam bem a distinção dos termos educação financeira e matemática financeira, mas que deveriam explorar mais a integração das mesmas.

A educação é um direito constitucional fundamental e deve ser amplamente acessível a todas as cidadãs e cidadãos do Brasil. No entanto, historicamente, alguns grupos sociais têm sido sistematicamente excluídos em diversos âmbitos, resultando na contínua reivindicação por seus direitos. Com o advento das leis de inclusão, pessoas com deficiência têm, cada vez mais, ingressado em todos os níveis da educação nacional. Nesse contexto, a Comunidade Surda (CS) busca o reconhecimento de suas demandas específicas, além de um atendimento humanizado e especializado. Assim, para garantir não apenas o acesso, mas também a permanência e o êxito das pessoas surdas em sala de aula, são necessárias adaptações didático-pedagógicas e recursos que assegurem acessibilidade linguística, especialmente em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS), em todas as áreas do conhecimento. Diante dessa demanda, este trabalho descreve, com base em uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho participante, dividida em quatro etapas metodológicas (Aplicação de um Instrumento Virtual de Sondagem (IVS); Desenvolvimento de Vídeos Didáticos Bilíngues (VDBs) 1, 2 e 3; Exposição dos VDBs; Aplicação de um Instrumento Virtual Final (IVF)), o desenvolvimento e a produção de materiais audiovisuais bilíngues (português/LIBRAS) para o ensino de Química em uma turma inclusiva de Ensino Médio Técnico Integrado. Os conteúdos exploram temas socioambientais e políticos, como a Química Verde (QV) e os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). Os dados obtidos apontam que o uso de recursos didáticos adaptados, fundamentados na Metáfora da Bipirâmide Triangular (MBT), promove um ensino inclusivo e significativo para todos os estudantes. Além disso, o ato de integrar QV e ODS a materiais bilíngues resulta em uma educação mais crítica, consciente e acessível, alinhada aos desafios contemporâneos.

Stereotactic navigation for traumatic parafalcine subdural hematoma evacuation: illustrative cases
Authors: Quinones Christian , Wilson John Preston , Kumbhare Deepak , Sin Anthony , Guthikonda Bharat , Hoang Stanley
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Parafalcine subdural hematomas (pSDHs) are a subtype of subdural hematoma (SDH) that occur most frequently in older patients after blunt trauma. The literature primarily describes two clinical courses for patients with pSDH: those who are neurologically intact with stable examinations and imaging and those with focal deficits, with or without hematoma progression. Surgical management is undoubtedly required for the latter group; however, there are no evidence-based guidelines specifically for pSDH. This report describes the cases of two patients with traumatic pSDH with neurological deficits who underwent surgical interventions with two different approaches and advocates for the use of stereotactic navigation to achieve adequate evacuation.

OBSERVATIONS

In the first case, a 55-year-old male with a parafalcine and convexity SDH underwent a hemicraniectomy, followed by a second surgery for evacuation of the residual pSDH due to a persistent neurological deficit. The second case involved an 84-year-old female with a parafalcine and convexity SDH, who underwent surgical evacuation of the pSDH with the aid of stereotactic navigation.

LESSONS

Approaching the surgical evacuation of a pSDH as if it were a mass lesion led to the use of intraoperative navigation, which resulted in superior localization and complete evacuation, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND

Early superficial temporal artery–middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass is sometimes considered a salvage therapy for acute MCA territory strokes that fail medical and/or endovascular treatment.

OBSERVATIONS

A 77-year-old man presented with left hemiparesis for 2 days. Conservative treatment was initiated without acute recanalization. A few hours after hospitalization, his symptoms worsened. An STA-MCA bypass was performed after completing diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion-weighted imaging and observing a DWI-clinical mismatch. After 2 months of rehabilitation, the patient was discharged to home. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at discharge showed that the stenosis in the right MCA had become mild and that the STA-MCA bypass had regressed with increased antegrade blood flow. Two weeks after discharge, the patient experienced worsening left hemiplegia at night and called for emergency medical assistance the following day. Magnetic resonance imaging showed scattered infarcts in the subcortical border zone, and MRA showed progression of the right M1 stenosis, requiring repeat revascularization due to hemodynamic changes caused by the improvement and subsequent re-exacerbation of the MCA stenosis.

LESSONS

Early STA-MCA bypass for symptomatic and progressive MCA stenosis can be effective; however, symptomatic MCA stenosis can be histologically dynamic. Symptoms can improve or worsen in a short period of time after STA-MCA bypass.

Our study aimed to examine the ascorbic acid (AA) status of the Ukrainian population during wartime conditions. Ascorbic acid is one of the most essential vitamins in human nutrition. It possesses antioxidant properties and plays a vital role in maintaining bodily functions. Materials and methods. A total of 408 individuals were surveyed, including 234 local residents, 66 internally displaced persons (IDPs), and 108 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). AA levels were assessed using a lingual assay with the Tillman's reagent. Statistical methods were employed for data analysis. Results. A statistically significant difference was found in AA saturation levels among local residents with normal AA levels compared to local residents with insufficiency and deficiency, IDPs with insufficiency, IDPs with deficiency, and AFU servicemen with insufficiency and deficiency. Significant differences in AA saturation were also observed between local residents with insufficiency and deficiency, IDPs with normal levels versus those with deficiency, and AFU servicemen with insufficiency and deficiency. The prevalence of AA deficiency among local residents was significantly higher compared to IDPs with normal levels or insufficiency and AFU servicemen with insufficiency. The number of IDPs with normal AA levels was significantly greater compared to those with insufficiency and deficiency, as well as AFU servicemen with insufficiency and deficiency. Significant differences were observed in the frequency of insufficiency among IDPs compared to those with deficiency, AFU servicemen with normal AA levels, and those with deficiency. The AA saturation rate in the IDP group with deficiency was significantly lower compared to the group of AFU servicemen with normal levels or deficiency. The prevalence of normal AA levels in AFU servicemen was considerably higher compared to those with insufficiency or deficiency in this category. Conclusions. The results of our study highlight a predominant deficiency of AA among internally displaced persons compared to local residents and AFU servicemen. The AA status of AFU servicemen did not differ significantly from that of residents in the Poltava region.

Introduction. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by severe hypoxemia and activation of the inflammatory cascade, which leads to multi-organ failure. Kidneys are one of the organs commonly affected by ARDS. However, the extent of ultrastructural changes in the parenchyma and stroma of the kidneys at different stages of ARDS progression remains unclear. The aim of this study was to use transmission electron microscopy to study the main components of the kidneys in rats at the early and late stages of experimentally induced ARDS. Materials and methods. The study included 24 healthy, sexually mature male rats weighing 200–220 g, divided into three groups: intact animals, 24 hours post-ARDS induction, and 14 days after the start of the experiment. ARDS was modeled by intranasal administration of lipopolysaccharide (5 mg/kg body weight) under anesthesia with ketamine at a dose of 50 mg/kg. Terminal anesthesia was performed using sodium thiopental at a dose of 150 mg/kg. Results: Submicroscopic examination of the kidneys from intact rats revealed no species-specific structural abnormalities. In the early stage of ARDS (24 hours post-modeling), renal corpuscles showed signs of vascular endothelial damage, fragmentation of the glomerular basement membrane, and degeneration of organelles and nuclear components in tubular epithelial cells. By day 14 of ARDS progression, signs of damage to the filtration barrier persisted, resulting in podocyte swelling. However, partial restoration of the tubular epithelial cell structure was observed, indicating the onset of the resolution phase of ARDS, as evidenced by the gradual recovery of the kidney ultrastructure. Conclusions. During the early stage of modeled ARDS, kidney damage manifests through destructive changes in the glomerular apparatus and renal tubular epithelial cells. In the late stage, although glomerular damage remains, partial restoration of the renal tubular epithelial cell structure is still evident.
THE EFFECT OF NANOPLASTICS AND MICROPLASTICS ON LUNG MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Rybalchenko Y.V.
Published: December 2024

Airborne microplastic (NP) and nanoplastic (MP) pollution has emerged as a pressing environmental concern with significant implications for human health. While MPs are present both indoors and outdoors, indoor concentrations are generally higher due to the abrasion of household materials, furniture, and other domestic sources. MPs and NPs, when inhaled, accumulate in various lung regions, exerting toxic effects and potentially leading to respiratory diseases. This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, evaluates recent experimental studies on the pathogenic impact of nanomicroplastics (NMPs) on lung tissues using in vivo and in vitro models. The review included 10 studies analyzing MP accumulation in respiratory tissues and 90 studies examining pathogenetic mechanisms of MP exposure. Research data indicates a predominance of polymeric fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polytetrafluoroethylene, with fibers accounting for nearly half of MP structures. NMPs in lung tissues exhibit size- and composition-dependent accumulation, with smaller and positively charged particles showing higher translocation potential to the systemic circulation and other organs. The review highlights the synergistic toxic effects of MPs with heavy metals and other pollutants, interaction with pulmonary surfactant, and the role of NMPs in exacerbating respiratory and systemic diseases. Current analysis underscores the growing interest in NMP-related respiratory health risks and identifies significant knowledge gaps, including the need for standardization in NMP toxicity testing and further exploration of NMPs interaction with biological systems. The findings emphasize the importance of mitigating NMPs exposure to safeguard respiratory health and pave the way for future research on the long-term impacts of airborne NMPs on human and environmental health.

Music is an inseparable part of the Gypsy life. Gypsy communities in Turkey, especially in the Marmara and Aegean regions, have preserved their unique musical culture while integrating it with regional music. Known as “Gypsy music” or “Romani music,” this genre blends with local styles like “karşılama” and “zeybek.” Despite this, the term “Gypsy music” is not widely accepted in Turkey. Gypsies have enriched regional music by adapting it to their own musical perception. This study highlights the complex interaction between Gypsy music and Turkish music, emphasizing its universal influence. Gypsy musicians innovate by blending traditional sounds with contemporary influences, particularly in modern Turkish genres like pop and electronic music. The research also reveals the significant role of Gypsy music in fostering social cohesion. Digital platforms accelerate the evolution and dissemination of Gypsy music, allowing access to global music scenes. Additionally, the study examines educational pathways for passing down musical skills and traditions through generations. This study demonstrates that Gypsy music is not a static tradition but a living and evolving art form. It serves as a vital tool for cultural expression, identity formation, and social interaction.

The 𝑒+𝑒− → 𝑛𝑛 cross section was measured at energies from the threshold to 1908 MeV in the center of mass (c.m.). The experiment to measure the cross section has been carried out at the VEPP-2000 𝑒+𝑒− collider in 13 energy points. The SND detector is used to detect the produced neutron-antineutrons (𝑛𝑛) events. A special time measurement system on the calorimeter was used to select the time-delayed 𝑛𝑛 events. The measured 𝑒+𝑒− → 𝑛𝑛 cross section is 0.4–0.6 nb. The neutron effective timelike form factor in the energy range under study varies from 0.3 to 0.6.
