Published: June 2024

Background:

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a condition that tends to recur frequently. Although middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) is an effective CSDH treatment, there is currently no consensus regarding the optimal timing for embolization.

Methods:

In this single-center and retrospective study, we reviewed 72 cases with 1st-time recurrent CSDH from January 2018 to July 2023 and identified those treated with MMAE to examine its effect and the impact of differences in the timing of treatment.

Results:

Of the 72 cases with CSDH recurrence for the 1sttime (mean age: 80.4 ± 9.7 years; men: 62 [86.1%]; mean first recurrence interval: 33 ± 24 days), 27 (37.5%) experienced a second recurrence. The mean first recurrence interval was shorter in cases with a second recurrence compared to cured cases: 24.3 ± 18.6 versus 38.3 ± 25.6 days, respectively (P= 0.005). MMAE was performed in 17 (23.6%) cases (mean age: 82 ± 6.2 years; men: 14 [82.4%]). The mean time from initial surgical treatment to embolization was 52.4 ± 35.4 days, and the mean recurrence interval before MMAE was 24.9 ± 19.6 days. Six cases (35.3%) experienced post-embolization recurrence and required surgical treatment. The mean recurrence interval before MMAE was shorter in cases with recurrence after MMAE (15 ± 6.4 vs. 30 ± 22.1 days,P= 0.023). The time from initial surgical treatment to embolization was significantly shorter: 31.3 ± 12.8 versus 63.9 ± 38.9 days (P= 0.039).

Conclusion:

Cases with a short first recurrence interval were more likely to experience a second recurrence. Repeated recurrences within a short time increased the likelihood of post-embolization recurrence. MMAE performed early following the initial surgical treatment increased the recurrence risk.

Published: June 2024

Исследовано получение эмульсий новым высокоэффективным методом распыла и разработана конструкция экспериментальной установки. На данной установке проведены опыты, в качестве исходных несмешиваемых жидкостей использовались растительное масло и вода в трех разных соотношения. Режимы работы: 500, 1000 и 1500 об/мин. Сначала проводились опыты по определению времени расслоения готовой эмульсии на составляющие жидкости. В результате получили, что более стойкая эмульсия получается при соотношении 50% растительного масла и 50% воды при 1500 об/мин. Проведены опыты по сбору капель, для этого на пути движения частиц эмульсии устанавливалась ловушка, в ячейках которой оседали капли распыленных жидкостей. По результатам этого опыта можно судить о пологости распределения массы эмульсии в ячейках ловушки. Более наглядно видно на графике при соотношении 30% воды и 70% растительного масла при 1500 об/мин. По полученным экспериментальным данным можно судить, что при переводе исходных жидкостей в дисперсное состояние получается стойкая эмульсия. Предложенный метод получения эмульсий является эффективным и малоэнергозатратным, благодаря тому что перевод жидкостей в дисперсное состояние на порядок ниже, чем при проведении процессов диспергирования.

The production of emulsions by a new highly efficient spray method was investigated and the design of an experimental installation was developed. Experiments were carried out on this installation, vegetable oil and water in three different ratios were used as the initial immiscible liquids. Operating modes: 500, 1000 and 1500 rpm. First, experiments were conducted to determine the time of separation of the finished emulsion into the components of the liquid. As a result, it was found that a more stable emulsion is obtained at a ratio of 50% vegetable oil and 50% water at 1500 rpm. Experiments were carried out to collect droplets, for this purpose a trap was installed in the path of the movement of the emulsion particles, in the cells of which droplets of sprayed liquids settled. Based on the results of this experiment, it is possible to judge the flatness of the distribution of the emulsion mass in the trap cells. It is more clearly seen on the graph at a ratio of 30% water and 70% vegetable oil at 1500 rpm. According to the experimental data obtained, it can be judged that when the initial liquids are converted to a dispersed state, a stable emulsion is obtained. The proposed method for obtaining emulsions is efficient and low-energy, due to the fact that the transfer of liquids to a dispersed state is an order of magnitude lower than during the dispersion processes.

Published: June 2024

В статье описаны процессы, протекающие на поверхности трения полимерных композиционных материалов (ПКМ) на основе политетрафторэтилена (ПТФЭ) и слоистых силикатов (СС). Проведенные исследования с использованием инфракрасной спектроскопии и рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии свидетельствуют о протекании трибоокислительных процессов в зоне контакта полимер/металл. Исследование элементного состава поверхности трения методом энергодисперсионного анализа зафиксировало появление новых пиков, соответствующих Fe и Cr. Данный факт свидетельствует о взаимодействии металла контртела с полимером в процессе трения. По результатам рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии зафиксировано протекание реакций дефторирования и гидроксилирования макромолекул ПТФЭ на поверхности трения ПКМ. Предложен возможный механизм протекания трибохимических процессов, которые протекают на поверхности трения композитов. Установлено, что вследствие трибохимических реакций на поверхности трения образуется защитный слой, состоящий из частиц наполнителей и продуктов трибодеструкции. Таким образом, основным фактором повышения износостойкости ПКМ на основе ПТФЭ является формирование на поверхности трения вторичных новых структур в зоне трения.

The article describes the processes occurring on the friction surface of polymer composite materials (PCM) based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and layered silicates (LS). The studies carried out using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate the occurrence of tribo-oxidative processes in the polymer/metal contact zone. The study of the elemental composition of the friction surface using energy-dispersive analysis recorded the appearance of new peaks corresponding to Fe and Cr. This fact indicates the interaction of the counterbody metal with the polymer during friction. Based on the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the occurrence of defluorination and hydroxylation reactions of PTFE macromolecules on the friction surface of the PCM was recorded. A possible mechanism for the occurrence of tribochemical processes that occur on the friction surface of composites is proposed. It has been established that, as a result of tribochemical reactions, a protective layer is formed on the friction surface, consisting of filler particles and tribodestruction products. Thus, the main factor in increasing the wear resistance of PTFE-based PCM is the formation of new secondary structures on the friction surface in the friction zone.

Пыление является проблемой протекания пленки вязкой несжимаемой жидкости между вращающимися цилиндрами различных технических узлов. Она свойственна также различным технологическим процессам, вызывает решение как экологических, так и технологических задач. Определить количество вязкой несжимаемой жидкости, которое выпадает на долю пыления в реальных производственных условиях, очень сложно. В работе представлен подход к оценке этого параметра для его прогнозирования и контроля на основе численного моделирования. Численный алгоритм расчета течения вязкой жидкости в двухмерных областях реализован на основе применения конечно-разностных схем, аппроксимирующих уравнения Навье-Стокса в полярной системе координат на регулярных сетках с расчетом по ним подвижных твердых границ и свободных границ жидкости.

Dusting is a problem of the flow of a film of a viscous incompressible liquid between rotating cylinders of various technical units. It is also characteristic of various technological processes, causes the solution of both environmental and technological problems. It is very difficult to determine the amount of a viscous incompressible liquid that falls to the share of dusting in real production conditions. The paper presents an approach to estimating this parameter based on numerical simulation. The numerical algorithm for calculating the flow of a viscous fluid in two-dimensional regions is implemented on the basis of the use of finite-difference schemes that approximate the Navier-Stokes equations in a polar coordinate system on regular grids with the calculation of moving solid boundaries and free fluid boundaries.

Authors: Korovesis Dimitris , Merillat Christel , Derua Rita , Verhelst Steven
Published: June 2024

Kinases are attractive drug targets, but the design of highly selective kinase inhibitors remains challenging. Selectivity may be evaluated against a panel of kinases, or – preferred – in a complex proteome. Probes that allow photoaffinity-labeling of their targets can facilitate this process. Here, we report photoaffinity probes based on the imidazopyrazine scaffold, which is found in several kinase inhibitors and drugs or drug candidates. By chemical proteomics experiments, we find a range of off-targets, which vary between the different probes. In silico analysis suggests that differences between probes may be related to the size, spatial arrangement and rigidity of the imidazopyrazine and its substituent at the 1-position.

Authors: Xiao Jichao , Jia Tingting , Chen Shuang , Pan Mengxiao , Li Xingwei
Published: June 2024

Chiral alpha-amino ketones have found extensive applications as functional molecules. A nickel-catalyzed, enantioselective, and fully intermolecular three-component 1,2-alkylacylation of N-acyl enamides has been realized with tertiary alkyl bromides and carboxylic acid-derived electrophiles as the coupling reagents. This reductive coupling strategy is operationally simple, exhibiting broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance using readily available starting materials and allowing rapid access to structurally complex α-amino ketone derivatives in high enantioselectivity. A suitable chiral biimidazoline ligand together with additional chelation of the amide carbonyl group in a Ni alkyl intermediate facilitates the enantioselective control by suppressing the background reaction, accounting for the excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicated intermediacy of radical species.

Published: June 2024

Marine by-products and insects are among the sources of chitin used in chitosan
production and increase the value of the product that may be used in the food industry.
The conversion of chitin to chitosan requires proper extraction methods in order to
minimise energy use and waste while also producing good-quality chitosan. This study
aimed to evaluate different methods of extracting chitosan from two sources and to
characterise its physicochemical and antibacterial properties. The study utilised two
distinct chitosan sources, i.e. crab shells and wooden grasshoppers, as well as two distinct
extraction methods, i.e. conventional and green chemistry methods. The yield, water-ash
content, solubility, physicochemical properties as determined by infrared spectroscopy
(FTIR), degree of deacetylation (DD), crystallinity (XRD), microstructure (SEM) and
antibacterial activity were all evaluated for chitosan quality. The results indicated that the
green chemistry extraction of crab shells (M2P1 treatment) produced the highest yield,
solubility and crystallinity index of all treatments, with a DD of 60.9%. The functional
groups and microstructure of chitosan were remarkably similar across all treatments.
Antibacterial activity was determined using the microdilution method against Grampositive (Clostridium acetobutylicum) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria and
the minimum inhibitory concentrations were identified, notably 2000 ppm for the green
chemistry method. The green chemical extraction method using crab shells (M2P1)
demonstrated that the extracted chitosan possessed beneficial physicochemical properties,
especially on yield and solubility, and antimicrobial properties against both Gram-positive
and Gram-negative bacteria. As such, based on the DD percentage and antibacterial
activity, this implies that the extracted chitosan may be used as an alternative for the
preservation of food in the food industry.

Authors: G. Mohanapriya
Published: June 2024

Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images. Image processing transforms input images into digital form for certain operations to obtain useful information. Segmentation is a well-known process used in image processing that partitions input images into different regions. Image segmentation is a sub-area of computer vision and digital image processing for grouping similar segments of an image under respective class labels. Several methods were performed with neutrosophic sets on dissimilar image-processing domains. However, the denoising and segmentation were not carried out accurately with minimal time complexity. To address these issues, many image segmentation methods are reviewed.
SUSTAINABLE INVESTIGATION ON POND ASH-INDUCED COMPRESSED INTERLOCKING BRICKS
Authors: Udgata Gaurav
Published: June 2024

Investigating the sustainability of using pond ash in compressed interlocking bricks is a multi-faceted process that requires assessing environmental, economic, and social aspects. India churns out more than 200 million tonnes of untapped coal ash every year. Stone crusher plants and thermal power plants are exhibiting huge amounts of unutilized by-products which have started invading our environment negatively and could soon create hazardous impacts. This paper focuses on investigating a new emerging sustainable brick constituting all these waste substances. Unutilized stone dust from crushers of the Khordha Industrial Area and Ash (Pond ash and Fly ash) were collected from the NALCO Power Plant situated at Angul, Odisha, India. Pond ash Induced Compressed Interlocking Bricks (PAICIB) were fabricated having parent mix with pond ash & fly ash levels of 35% and 40% stone dust by weight, which was fixed after several trial mix experiments. Variation was done with the proportion of lime and cement to the parent mix. Compressive strength tests were conducted on day 7 and 28. The parent mix of 30cmx15cmx10cm PAICIB containing no cement and 10% hydrated lime by weight of parent mix sustained a compressive strength up to 5.5 N/mm2 (failure load of 204KN) and the water absorption was 17% after 28 days. The primary focus of this investigation is to utilize the waste materials for creating an eco-friendly brick that can meet the demand of the current rising population of populated countries like India. This work becomes a part of the “fly ash management and utilization mission” by NGT as the bricks are formed here using the disposed pond ash in rivers reducing water pollution too.

Authors: Bartholomée Océane , Björnberg Jacob , Smith Henrik G. , Kendall Liam
Published: June 2024

Intensification of forest management to increase production of biomass has resulted in considerable habitat degradation with negative impacts on insect biodiversity, including beneficial insect groups such as pollinators. Yet, little is known about how reliant forest understory plants, such as bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), are on insect pollinators for reproduction. Here, we quantified the structure of the bilberry flower visitor community, compared the pollination effectiveness of the most common pollinators, and experimentally quantified bilberry pollination dependency. The bilberry pollinator community was comprised of several bee and hoverfly taxa. Bumblebees were the most important pollinators due to their high abundance and pollination effectiveness. Other bees, in particular, Andrena spp., and to a smaller extent, hoverflies, were also effective pollinators. Furthermore, bilberry was strongly pollen-limited, with only 40% of open-pollinated flowers setting fruit. Bilberry supports a diverse flower visitor community within hemi-boreal forests, for which it is highly dependent for reproduction. Given the ecological and cultural value of bilberry, the importance of insect pollinators for understory plants should be considered within forest management strategies.

A. Eichenwald’s memories about G. Tukay – memoirs or fantasies?
Authors: Isanbet Yu. N.
Published: June 2024

This work belongs to a series of articles about composer Anton Eichenwald. They were published in the journal “Tatarica” in 2022-2023: “The Symphony Orchestra Concert of Oriental Music in Kazan in 1923” (2022, No. 1), “Concerts of Oriental Music in Paris” (2022, No. 2), “Anton Eikhenwald and the Kazan Office of Musical Folklore” (2023, No. 1) and “Folklore Opera ‘The Steppe' in the Perception of Our Contemporaries” (2023, No. 2). The article analyzes two memoirs about composer A. Eichenwald and his contacts with poet G. Tukay. The composer himself was named as the author of the publication “A Passionate Music Lover”, and “Chaliapin and Tukay...” was presented as retold by L. Rubinstein. Serious Tukay scholars ignored these sources. Information about the fictitious meetings of A. Eichenwald and F. Chaliapin with G. Tukay was replicated by writers, literary critics and musicologists who failed to take a critical look at the content of these “pseudo-memories.” Based on our analysis of the content of these articles and using the memoirs of Tukay's contemporaries and other documentary sources, the article proves that this material about the fictitious meetings was created by third-party authors who were ignorant of these major cultural figures' biographies.

The residues in soil and crops caused by chemical pesticides used to get rid of agricultural pests pose serious threats to human and environmental health, such as hormonal abnormalities and acute respiratory poisoning, especially in children. The most critical step to avoid these hazards will be to replace chemical pesticides with plant-active molecules. At the same time, these studies primarily in silico will provide a return in terms of both time and cost. Inhibition of pectin methyl esterase, an important virulence factor of B. cinerea, will ensure the organism is controlled. In order to determine candidate biofungicide effector molecules, QSAR parameter values of 409 plant active molecules were calculated. Firstly, conformer distribution and geometry optimizations were performed with Spartan 14’ software. Docking studies of the optimized molecules were carried out through Autodock Vina software, while visualization studies to make sense of the interactions between the target receptor structure and effector molecules were used by BIOVIA Discovery Studio software. As a result of all the analyses, the molecules that are alternatives to chemical pesticides as biofungicides were determined to be the following molecules: Podolactone B, Repin, Sandaracopimaradienediol, 6-Hydrogenistein, Artemisinin, Lycoricidine, 6-Methoxygossypol, Viscidulin, Ciprofloxacin, and 7,4’-Dihydroxyflavan.

In this research, the primary objective is to tackle the pressing issue of identifying and effectively managing diseases in rice plants, a problem that can results in substantial crop losses and pose a severe threat to food security. The study employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning model widely used for image analysis, to conduct an extensive investigation using a sizable dataset comprising 5,932 RGB images. These images represent four distinct disease classes in rice plants: Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB), Blast, Brownspot, and Tungro. To conduct this research, the dataset is split into two subsets: a training set, which comprises 80% of the data, and a testing set, which makes up the remaining 20%. This division allows for a systematic evaluation of the performance of four different CNN architectures: VGGNet, ResNet, MobileNet, and a simpler CNN model. The results of this study consistently show that ResNet and MobileNet outperform the other CNN architectures in terms of their ability to accurately detect diseases in rice plants. These two models consistently achieve remarkable accuracy in identifying these diseases. The research findings not only emphasize the potential of deep learning techniques in addressing the critical issue of rice crop diseases but also highlights the significant role that ResNet and MobileNet play in strengthening crop protection efforts and contributing to global food security.

Anomalini beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) constitute a significant pest group responsible for substantial crop losses in wheat cultivation areas worldwide, including Turkey. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the phylogeny, diversity, abundance, and distribution of Anomalini beetles in wheat fields of Van province, Turkey. Surveys were conducted between April and August 2021, involving monthly sample collection at predetermined locations within six districts: Başkale, Çaldıran, Erciş, Gevaş, İpekyolu, and Tuşba. Standard traps and hand collection methods were employed to gather samples. In molecular studies, the mitochondrial COI gene region has been amplified and sequenced using universal primers. Anomalini beetles were detected in all sampling areas except Çatak district. Seven species were identified: Anisoplia austriaca, A. signata, A. lata, Brancoplia leucaspis, Blitopertha nigripennis, Chaetopteroplia segetum, and an unidentified Anisoplia sp. Chaetopteroplia segetum emerged as the most prevalent and abundant species across all districts. Notably, all identified Anomalini species represent the first records for Van province and its environs. While Anomalini beetles were present in the region, their population densities were not considered high enough to cause economic damage.

Fragrant Ginger or Lempuyang wangi (Zingiber aromaticum Val.) is one of the plants from the Zingiberaceae family that Indonesians widely use as traditional medicine. Endophytic bacteria living in the healthy plant are potentially carrying antimicrobial properties and good secondary metabolites. This study aims to determine the potential of endophytic bacteria from fragrant ginger plants from Enggano Island as antimicrobial. Antimicrobial activity was analyzed using the disc diffusion method from pallets and supernatant of bacteria. The results showed that five of 44 isolates consisting of Providencia strain LWERG 29, Stenotrophomonas strain LWERG 30, Bacillus strain LWEBG 39, Bacillus strain LWEBG 41, and Pseudomonas strain LWEBG 42 isolates were able to suppress pathogenic bacteria such as B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli. Interestingly, those selected species could show their ability to inhibit tested pathogens with a strong category. This is the first study that showed the potential of endophytic bacteria as antimicrobial agents isolated from fragrant ginger (Lempuyang Wangi) in Enggano Island, Indonesia.

A ‘cultura pop’ é um fenômeno que teve seu início na Ásia e ganhou expressiva popularidade no mundo ocidental. Um turismo de ‘cultura pop’ já pode ser observado à medida que os fãs deste fenômeno costumam viajar para os destinos com imagem ligada à essa cultura e participar de eventos com esta temática. Dentre estes eventos, destaca-se a Comic Com Experience (CCXP) que se realiza na cidade de São Paulo, em edições anuais. Este estudo analisa a experiência do turista na CCXP, a partir do modelo teórico da economia da experiência e suas respectivas dimensões. Tem como finalidade identificar a importância relativa destas dimensões para a experiência do turista na CCXP e os reflexos desta experiência em suas emoções. A metodologia usada aqui empregou a abordagem quantitativa e a técnica de coleta de dados baseada num survey online, distribuído entre turistas que participaram da CCXP. Como resultado, sugere-se que duas dimensões da experiência -a ‘estética’ e o‘entretenimento’ - apresentam as maiores importâncias relativas entre as dimensões analisadas e a experiência, em si, no evento, possui um positivo e significativo reflexo nas emoções dos participantes, sendo que essas emoções são influenciadas, principalmente, pelas dimensões ‘educativa’ e ‘escape’.

Studies of post-radiation lesions of the pancreas after irradiation with charged particles (electrons, protons) are few, however, electron therapy is one of the promising methods in radiobiology and can be used to model post-radiation pancreatitis. The mechanisms of radiation-induced damage to the pancreas have not been fully elucidated, and studies of the life cycle of pancreatic cells after electron irradiation are rare. In addition, it is interesting to study changes in the proliferative-apoptotic balance of pancreatic structures protected from the effects of ionizing radiation by the introduction of N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Material and methods. Wistar rats (n=50) were divided into four experimental groups: I – control (n=10); II (n=20) – fractional local irradiation with electrons; III (n=20) – administration of NAC before electron irradiation; IV (n=10) – administration of NAC. Animals of all groups (I – IV) were removed from the experiment a week after the last fraction. Fragments of pancreatic cancer were prepared for morphological and immunohistochemical tests (with antibodies to Ki-67 and caspase-8). Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. In the case of a normal distribution, the Student’s t-test was used, in the case of a non-normal distribution, the Mann–Whitney U-test was used. Results. In group II, a week after fractional irradiation with electrons at a total dose of 25 Gy, an increase in the proportion of Ki-67-immunopositive cells and a decrease in the number of caspase-8-stained cells of pancreatic islets were found. Pre-irradiation administration of NAC reduced the degree of radiation damage to the pancreas, and staining parameters with antibodies to Ki-67 and caspase-8 were almost close to control values. Conclusion. An immunohistochemical study of the pancreas revealed that local irradiation with electrons in summary dose 25 Gy after a week leads to a shift in the proliferative-apoptotic balance towards the death of pancreatic cells, which is partially restored with pre-irradiation administration of NAC, which indicates its protective effect.

Metastatic lesions of the heart can occur in various oncological diseases, but are more often observed in malignant neoplasms of nearby organs. A clinical case of a patient with kidney cancer and cardiac metastases occurring under the guise of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is presented. In this case, metastases were detected only during a pathological autopsy of the patient. Thus, in a patient with cancer and the clinical picture of AMI, it is necessary to exclude the presence of metastases in the heart, as well as non-coronary causes of increased troponin levels. Correct diagnosis of cardiac metastases plays a decisive role in choosing optimal therapy and improving the prognosis for the patient.

Authors: Nurohman Dede
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to determine a comprehention of manager about a mudarabah contract and its application in Islamic microfinance institutions (LKMS). The research method used field research with a qualitative research type. The locus is in Kediri and its surroundings. The research subjects are LKMS managers. The method of sampling is purposive sampling. Data obtained from observations, documentation and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the understanding of the LKMS manager regarding the mudarabah contract had the same understanding as the fiqh literature as stated by the DSN-MUI fatwa. However, the application is different. With the fatwa, LKMS is more careful in distributing its funds. This is because LKMS only acts as an intermediary institution that represents depositors (savers customers) to ensure that the funds are safe and generate profit sharing.
