Planning With Art: Artistic Involvement Initiated by Public Authorities in Sweden
Authors: Wiberg Sofia
Published: September 2022

In a Swedish context, public authorities have, over the past 10 years, implemented a number of initiatives to make art a central part of not only sustainable development but also urban planning as a practice, process, and knowledge area. Art and artistic methods are seen to contribute with new methods for site analyses (often in combination with citizen involvement) to enhance embodied and situated knowledge and give space to critical reflection. One of the Swedish initiatives is called Art Is Happening. Between 2016 and 2018, the Swedish government assigned the Public Art Agency Sweden money to work with public art and citizen inclusion in million program areas. The initiative was framed as using artistic methods to strengthen democracy in areas with low turnout. Fifteen places around the country were selected. In this article, the focus is on one of those projects in Karlskrona, where an artist collaborated with citizens to create a public artwork and local meeting place. During the process, the artist partly lived in the area. Rather than discussing the artistic project from a binary logic as disempowerment/empowerment, consensual/agonistic, and political/antipolitical, it is examined as a process involving a mixture of both, where power unfolded in ways that were both problematic and valuable at the same time. This approach moves away from “good or bad” to a nuanced way of discussing how artistic methods can contribute to understandings of situated knowledge production in urban planning.
Principles of Model Construction of Psychological Analysis of Interests for Solving Problems of Algorithmization of Law Enforcement (on the Example of Family Law Disputes)
Authors: Krasnova T.
Published: September 2022

The article outlines the principles of building a model designed for the legal practice of judicial review of disputes based on a psychologically oriented approach. The idea of using such a model in the context of digitalization of law enforcement activities is substantiated. The novelty and peculiarity of the proposed approach will make it possible to identify the interests of the parties to the dispute in a situation of legal uncertainty. In cases where the court is forced to understand interests subjectively due to the lack of guiding principles in legislation and legal doctrine. In the circle of scientific concepts of psychological science, it is proposed to introduce the concept of interest in the meaning necessary for the dispute resolution procedure, a working version of the definition of the concept of interest is formulated. A typology of levels and degrees of interests and a method for determining interests providing additional resources for the peaceful resolution of a family legal dispute have been developed. The possibilities of work are shown by the example of family legal relations in which, by virtue of the law, it is required to identify and justify the interests of the child or the interests of the spouse.

In order to study the influence of negative emotional experiences of childhood on criminal activity in women with organic personality disorder we investigated group of women, suspected or accused of crimes in criminal cases, who underwent forensic psychiatric examination (n=102) with comparison to group of women, who had not a criminal history (n=50). It is revealed that for women who have committed criminally punishable acts, negative childhood events with many psychogenic and traumatic events are of significant importance. It was revealed that the greatest importance of adverse childhood events with negative emotional experience - abuse, violence (emotional, physical, sexual) in combination with unfavorable social factors of upbringing had a significant pathoplastic and pathokinetic effect on the clinical and dynamic characteristics of the disease and to a certain extent predetermined the formation of criminal activity of this category of persons. They are more likely to have dependence on surfactants. These women were more likely to commit aggressive offenses (murder, grievous bodily harm), while the victim of these crimes was more often a partner (husband, cohabitant).

Authors: Soldatova Lyudmila N. , Sachyan Yulia V. , Prokhorova Viktoriya V.
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND: Orthodontic treatment is a long-term and responsible therapy that affects the quality of life of a patient at any age. Adolescence is the most suitable for eliminating dentition and jaw anomalies and one of the most difficult from the point of view of psychology. To achieve quick and successful treatment results, the orthodontist should establish a trusting contact with the patient, consider age-related behavioral characteristics, and know and apply modern methods of orthodontic treatment and psychological methods.
AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the role of motivation in successful orthodontic treatment in teenagers.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty-one patients participated in the experiment (28 girls and 23 boys; age, 1216 years), who were undergoing orthodontic treatment with removable and non-removable equipment. The first group was composed of patients with a positive dynamic, fixed type of treatment, and good hygiene, and was responsible for wearing extra equipment. Patients with positive treatment results were those who understood their orthodontic problems, were willing to receive treatment, and were able to choose their equipment for the treatment. The second group consisted of patients who were receiving the prescribed treatment, and the equipment was chosen either by the parents or their orthodontist. In these cases, patients dental hygiene worsened because of missing appointments and non-adherence to the recommendations of the orthodontist for the use of the extra equipment. These patients also felt uncomfortable communicating socially because of their orthodontics.
RESULTS: The success of orthodontic treatment for adolescents depends on their voluntariness in making decisions to start treatment, emotional readiness for it, and trusting relationships between the parents, patient, and doctor. Thus, considering the preferences of teenagers when choosing medical equipment is necessary so that they could receive a more detailed explanation of the need for timely orthodontic treatment, which will increase their motivation.
CONCLUSIONS: The patients progress was followed throughout their treatment. To reach optimal results and cooperation with the patient, the orthodontist has to consider the patients willingness to begin treatment, understand the different procedures, and allow them to choose their equipment while taking into account their age and psychological maturity. These procedures do not only increase the success of orthodontic treatment but also prevent unwanted results and positively influence the psychoemotional status of the teenager.

Background. The impact of stress on the central serous chorioretinopathy development has been studied in a small number of studies, and the results are conflicting.
Aim. To assess the association of the level of individual stress with the central serous chorioretinopathy development.
Material and methods. A cross-sectional study based on a survey of 110 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (the main group) and 110 individuals without central serous chorioretinopathy was conducted. The stress level was assessed on the Perceived Stress Scale. Quantitative and categorical data between the groups were compared. Comparison of groups by quantitative indicator was performed using the MannWhitney U-test, and by categorical indicator using the odds ratio and its 95% confidence intervals.
Results. The groups of respondents were comparable according to the main demographic indicators. The median total score for the Overstrain subscale in the central serous chorioretinopathy group was 12 points (Q25%Q75% 9.2514 points), in the control group 10 points (Q25%Q75% 712 points; p=0.0002). The median total score for the Stress Response subscale in the central serous chorioretinopathy group was 7 points (Q25%Q75% 58 points), in the control group it was 4 points (Q25%Q75% 37 points; p=0.000003). In the group with central serous chorioretinopathy, compared with the control group, the proportion of people with moderate stress level was higher (74.5% vs. 53.6%; odds ratio 2.53, 95% confidence interval 1.434.48) and the proportion of people with low stress level was lower (19.1% vs. 45.5%; odds ratio 0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.150.52).

Published: September 2022

Background. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive, painless method that stimulates the cerebral cortex using short magnetic pulses. The information obtained as a result of the research can be further used for an objective assessment of the therapy.
Aim. Evaluation the reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation technique as a neurophysiological monitoring tool in patients with malignant brain tumors.
Material and methods. There were two groups as a study objects: patients with large-focal solitary lesions of the central nervous system (glioma) who underwent radiotherapy (n=20), median age 49.55.3 (39; 60) years, and a comparison group of neurologically healthy individuals (n=16), median age 48.56.3 (43.0; 58.8) years. There were no statistically significant age differences between the studied groups. All patients underwent diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation before and after therapy. The MannWhitney test was used to make comparisons between the two groups. A p value 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results. During transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with malignant brain neoplasms, signs of impaired conduction along the central motor pathways were recorded in 50% of cases, and in total, signs of impaired conduction of all degrees of severity along the central motor pathway were detected in 90% of cases. Carrying out diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation according to a single-pulse protocol makes it possible to predict the further course of the recovery period. The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in dynamics revealed an improvement in conduction along the central motor pathways in patients with malignant brain neoplasms. The obtained statistically significant differences allow us to conclude that transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used for an objective assessment of the state of the motor pathways in patients with neurooncological diseases.
Conclusion. Diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation is applicable in large-focal solitary lesions of the central nervous system, since it allows assessing the state of the motor pathways and the functional activity of the brain at different stages of this condition.

Published: September 2022

Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology that has gained popularity and attention in recent years for production applications in tooling, biomedical, energy, and defense sectors. When compared to other powder bed fusion-based AM methods, binder jetting processes powder feedstock without the need of an energy source during printing. This avoids defects associated with melting, residual stresses, and rapid solidification within the parts. However, one of the challenges of this process is the relatively lower densities which impacts part density, and subsequently, sintering and mechanical properties. In this study, we investigated the influence of bimodal powder size distributions (a mixture of coarse to fine particles) as a method for increasing part density and mechanical strength, and used stainless steel (SS) 316L bimodal mixtures in this case. Four unimodal and two bimodal groups were evaluated under similar AM processing conditions for sintered density measurements and flexural strengths. Our results demonstrated that bimodal size distributions showed a statistically significant increase in density by 20% and ultimate flexural strength by 170% when compared to the highest performing unimodal group. In addition to experimental findings, reactive molecular dynamics simulations showed that the presence of finer powders along with coarser particles in the bimodal particle mixture contribute to additional bonds that are stronger across the particle interfaces. Findings from this study can be used to design bimodal particle size distributions to achieve higher density and better mechanical properties in binder jetting AM process.

Published: September 2022

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has emerged as an important domain since mobile devices are widely used by the current generation of learners. This study emphasizes that the successful implementation of MALL for language education relies heavily on its acceptance by teachers. This study intends to investigate the acceptance of using MALL for teaching English among college EFL teachers in China. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a frequently used model in technology acceptance studies for m-learning settings, was adopted in this study. A questionnaire survey was administered to collect data on teachers’ demographic information and acceptance of MALL. The respondents were 30 in-service college-level EFL teachers from universities in Yunnan, China, and the data are analyzed using SPSS. Respondents’ MALL acceptance level, their demographic variables associated with intentions to use MALL, and the relationship of Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) with Behavioral Intention (BI) were investigated. The results suggested that Chinese EFL teachers have a rather high level of MALL acceptance. Their BI to use MALL differs according to the teaching experience. Both PU and PEU significantly influenced BI which further predicted the Actual Use (AU) of MALL. The findings of the study provide insights into the usefulness of TAM in predicting the acceptance of MALL among college EFL instructors and may assist in explaining the factors influencing their intentions to utilize mobile technology for language teaching.

Published: September 2022

2020 has been a challenging year for the educational field due to the COVID-19 virus. Changing to online learning was not easy for both the students and the educators. In an attempt to address the problems of online learning to help educators around the world, this paper proposes unravel application to facilitate the job of educators and give them a smooth experience while providing educational materials to their students. Unravel is a web-based solution that enables educators from all backgrounds to upload their lectures to an online cloud video hosting service. Using cutting-edge Speech to Text Technology and NLP tools, video files are transcribed, and a timeline is provided by the application which allows the user to manipulate the file using the generated text. It facilitates the video editing process for users with no video editing experience via an intuitive graphical user interface. The platform will also enable educators to monitor the students and get analytics from the system about the views and will enable an anonymous feedback system so educators can get reviews from their students. The objective of the proposed approach is to build a comprehensive platform that fills the gap between educators and students while unraveling the complex educational problems in online learning.
Development of Word-Level Classification and Vocabulary Meaning System
Authors:   Tokyo Denki University, Japan, Baha Kamal , Shishido Makoto
Published: September 2022

There are multiple ways to improve reading comprehension for English learners as a foreign language. Learning vocabulary is one of the ways to improve it. It is believed that the more readers are familiar with the English vocabulary, the better they will understand what they are reading. It is suggested that the learners improve comprehension if they learn and understand unknown words before they read an essay. The morphological analysis was used to extract the words from each sentence in an English text. The extracted vocabulary was also classified by level of difficulty into 12 levels according to the ALC12000 database. The system showed only the words whose levels were higher than the student's estimated vocabulary level. It will be expected that a learner can improve their English reading comprehension by studying higher-level vocabulary in advance of reading an essay. In this study, a new method was investigated in order to analyze vocabulary and develop a system that can analyze vocabulary from English texts and add Japanese and Thai meanings. To employ it for any device, the researchers developed the system by using a JavaScript library called NLP-compromise that uses any browser on any system.

Authors:   Chinese Collage, Beijing Language and Culture University, Beijing, China, Shi Yanlan
Published: September 2022

This article explores the flipped classroom models in the intercultural communication course developed by educators and students for online learning. Educators adapt to a mixed teaching method combining online and face to face teaching, creating a blended learning environment. Due to the special features of online learning, the key to effective education lies in the focus on students rather than educators while designing the curriculum. In order to improve students' intercultural capabilities, educators use the case analysis method to help students cultivate real-life intercultural communication skills. After looking into students’ feedback, we designed a practical and effective teaching plan involving teaching objectives, teaching content, and teaching methods. We guide students to participate in the whole experience process of analyzing real cases and solving problems. The "Performance Culture Approach" method is introduced to students, and students are encouraged to bring actual problems they encountered into the classroom to study. Through the analysis and discussion of real cases, students can find a feasible solution to the problem, so as to avoid communication barriers and successfully conduct intercultural communication.

Macular amyloidosis (MA) is the subtlest of the cutaneous varieties of amyloidosis. In general, the treatment of MA is disappointing. Hence, this study was aimed at comparing the two treatment modalities for the same.

To compare the efficacy of 30% TCA chemical peel with Q switched Nd-YAG laser 1064nm in the treatment of macular amyloidosis.

50 patients of MA attending our Dermatology outpatient department were enrolled in the study. The study involved application of 30% TCA in 25 patients at an interval of 2 weeks for 10 sittings and Q switched Nd-YAG laser 1064 in 25 patients at an interval of 1 month for 5 sittings. Digital photographs were taken before treatment and then periodically. The response was graded percentage of reduction in pigmentation both by the patient and the observer. The patients were followed up for 5 months post treatment for recurrence.

Both TCA peel and Q switched Nd-Yag laser 1064nm were effective in the treatment of macular amyloidosis. switched Nd-Yag laser 1064nm showed better response compared to TCA peel at the end of the treatment, both by subjective and objective methods and in terms of less number of sittings and fewer side effects. The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).No permanent side effects were seen in any of the treated patients and the improvement was sustained without any relapse at 5 months except in one patient in the peel group.

Both these treatment modalities are effective and safe in the treatment of MA. Q switched Nd-Yag laser 1064nm was found to be marginally superior to TCA peel.

Published: September 2022

The papulosquamous skin disorders are a diverse set of conditions that constitute the most common diseases seen by dermatologists. There is a lot of overlap in the appearance and distribution of lesions, which makes diagnosis challenging. The skin, the body's largest organ, responds to pathogenic stimuli in a restricted number of ways. As a result, histological patterns in clinically distinct lesions may be similar. A thorough histological evaluation is considered the gold standard in diagnosing skin disorders, but it has limits, and without clinical information, a definitive specific diagnosis is often impossible. In many circumstances, a diagnosis might be made by comparing histopathological and clinical findings.

A Prospective study was carried out in the Department of Dermatology from September 2019 to September 2021. Patients presenting with clinically papulosquamous disorder were photographed and a presumptive clinical diagnosis was made based on clinical features; which was confirmed by histopathological examination and correlation between clinical and histopathological findings was studied.

The study included 202 patients in which clinico-histopathological correlation was done. In 88.11% cases a positive correlation was established whereas a negative correlation was obtained in 11.89%cases. Psoriasis constituted the highest cases 64(31.68%) followed by lichen planus 52(25.74%).

Majority of the papulosquamous disorders have an overlapping clinical presentation as skin reacts in a limited pattern towards any pathologic stimuli. There is a need for clear clinical information and a description of the lesion to assist the histopathologist in arriving at a conclusive diagnosis, which is the gold standard, to overcome the associated complexity in diagnosing and commencing the right treatment. For a more accurate differentiation of various papulosquamous disorders, histopathology is very crucial for appropriate medical management. This is clearly seen and supported by the present study.

Since its emergence in 2019, RT-PCR is a standard test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (COVID-19). Chest-CT scans are the preferred most common routine test to determine the spread and severity of the disease. The present study aims to demonstrate a comparative analysis of chest CT and RT-PCR as diagnostic tests for COVID-19 detection.

In this prospective single-center study a total of 979 patients (Male= 614, female= 365) from Tumkur, Karnataka (India) who were suspected of novel coronavirus infection underwent both chest CT and RT-PCR assay.Patients with positive RT-PCR and abnormalities in chest CT images were identified. The patients with negative RT-PCR and positive chest-CT images and vice versa were screened for the accuracy of both techniques.

Out of 979 patients, 674 (68.85%) patients had positive CT index scores, whereas 613 (62.61%) patients had positive RT-PCR tests. Most of the patients (47%) were from the age group 36-55 years with most of the population having hypertension (8.27%) and diabetes (6.44%). Corad score revealed 88.36% of patients (865) with high infection. In patients with negative RT-PCR reports (31.15%; 305/979), a positive CT index was observed in 7.25% of patients indicating higher sensitivity to this technique.

A chest CT scan is superior in sensitivity for the detection of COVID-19 than that of RT-PCR. The CT scan can be used asa confirmatory diagnostic test for COVID-19 suspects whose RT-PCR test results are negative.

In India, several social, cultural, religious and economic factors influence menstrual hygiene and practices among women. In country like India menstruation is generally considered as unclean and there is a lack of knowledge about menstruation and its practices among women. Practices like isolation and imposing restrictions among menstruating girls in the family, have reinforced a negative attitude.

A community based cross sectional study was conducted among the reproductive age women residing under urban and rural health centres of Belagavi city, Karnataka.

A total of 280 women have participated in our study. Majority of the women are in the age group of 20-24 years (32.6%). More than half of the women were house wife (69.6%). While more than half of the families of the women belong to lower socio-economic level i.e class III, IV &V (76.1%). 90.7% opined that menstruation is a physiological process, 83.6% were unaware about the cause of menstruation, while information regarding prior to menarche, 68.5% said they didn’t had any information, while those who got information, most of them are from their mother (42.9%). On usage of sanitary pads, 63.2% were aware about it. 30.3% said they used same cloth every month. Disposal of absorbent material, 53.5% disposed in garbage, while 16.7% reused them.

The study revealed that menstrual hygiene among large population of women was far from satisfactory. Lack of sufficient information about menstrual hygiene can be largely attributed to various cultural and religious beliefs and taboos.

Baclofen is a synthetic derivative of GABA and is used as a muscle relaxant or antispasmodic agent. It is used in the management of various muscle spasticity resulting from conditions such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and stroke. The reported potential adverse effects following overdose are marked impairment in consciousness, acute kidney injury, seizures, coma, and respiratory failure. Since there is no specific antidote available to treat baclofen toxicity, the mainstay of management remains supportive treatment. Herein we describe a case of baclofen overdose in a 62-years-old male who consumed 15 tablets of 25 mg tablets of baclofen (375 mg) and died due to multiorgan failure after 5 days of poisoning. Although many reports in the published medical literature describe the clinical manifestations and the management of baclofen toxicity, only a few reports presented the fatality in baclofen overdose. Furthermore, no report documented the death following lethal multiorgan failure resulting from baclofen overdose, and from India to the best of our knowledge.
