The Development of Digitalization During the War as a Sociocultural Phenomenon
Authors: Sydorenko Svitlana
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze the development of digitalization in the conditions of war as a socio-cultural phenomenon. It is noted that Ukraine continues to fight both in the digital and mental spaces for its own independence, originality, national identity and democratic future. The Ukrainian nation’s struggle for survival has reached a new level – digital. In the conditions of martial law, Ukrainian society is increasingly faced with various types of «cyber attacks» by aggressor countries: failures in the provision of electronic services, blocking of the work of state bodies, phishing attacks by e-mail, cybercrimes, violations of the integrity and confidentiality of data, informational and psychological pressure on population, cyber-terrorism, cyber-espionage, information expansion into the country’s national information space, blocking the work or destruction of enterprises strategically important for the economy and state security, life support systems and high-risk facilities. Modern digital technologies in the conditions of globalization are modernizing the strategies of warfare in the 21st century. In the conditions of martial law, Ukrainian society is increasingly faced with various types of «cyber attacks» by the aggressor country, including: blocking the work of state bodies, phishing attacks by e-mail, cyber crimes, violations of data integrity and confidentiality, information and psychological pressure on Ukrainians, cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, etc. Disinformation, anti-Ukrainian propaganda, fakes, racism, revanchism, political, material, spiritual violence that threaten the national security of our state can be spread through various «information channels» of the aggressor countries. But, on the other hand, in wartime conditions, Ukraine strives to protect the national information space from the negative effects of informational and psychological attacks and continues to implement the policy of digitalization and the introduction of digital technologies. Ukraine strives to protect the national information space, continues to implement the digitalization policy, implements the «State in a Smartphone» program, develops the IT sector that fulfills contracts, exports its own services, provides foreign exchange earnings, and also supports the Ukrainian economy. Provides services through the «Diia» state platform, including for internally displaced persons.

Published: February 2023

This study aimed to develop and apply an mobile app-based knee osteoarthritis prevention program based on the IMB (InformationMotivation-Behavioral Skills) model to prevent knee osteoarthritis in obese middle-aged women. This is a quasi-experimental study of unequal control group repeated measures design to verify the effect on knee osteoarthritis prevention knowledge, health attitude, social support, self-efficacy, knee osteoarthritis prevention behavior, body mass index, lower extremity muscle strength, and health-related quality of life in obese middle-aged women. The subjects of this study were a total of 67 obese middle-aged women aged 45 to 60 (experimental group: 32, control group: 35). Data were analyzed using a SPSS 22.0 program with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, χ2 -test, Fisher's Exact test, Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Two-way Repeated measure ANOVA, Friedman test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. As a result of the study, obese middle-aged women in the experimental group had higher knee arthritis prevention knowledge (p <.001), health attitude (p =.008), and social support (p =.007) compared to the control group), self-efficacy (p <.001), knee osteoarthritis prevention behavior (p =.002), body mass index (p <.001) and lower extremity muscle strength (p =.001) were significantly improved. Through this, this study proved that the app-based knee osteoarthritis prevention program developed based on the IMB model is an effective and appropriate program for preventing knee osteoarthritis in obese middle-aged women who develop degeneratively with aging. In particular, its utilization and practical value of this app-based program is high in everyday life.
The Importance of Diction in the Art of Singing
Authors: Fagarasan Radu Corneliu
Published: February 2023

The idea for this article’s subject started from the importance of diction that accompanies the music. It’s essential to be able to understand very well the words that are sung, because they give the “tone” of the entire lyrical-dramatical action. The listeners will perceive the emotion that is conveyed through the verses, and the music, as a unity. I have listened to various interpretations of singers that approached arias, leads, etc, who don’t have good diction, therefore in their musical discourse I could hear the predominance of the vowels A - E - O - U, and I could barely hear the consonants. This way, instead of following the lyrical-dramatic action itself, brought by the music and the words, I was experiencing auditory discomfort. In order to bring their own interpretation to the musical language, and to express mastery, the artist must have theoretical knowledge, and technical training and use them precisely. This way they would be able to reach high performances of the vocal tract, which will lead to the harmonious delineation of a singing style that matches the demands of the musical piece.
Medicinal forest herbs: conservation and economic development in the Appalachian Mountains
Authors: Small Mountains Christine
Published: February 2023

The medicinal plant industry, and the people of Appalachia, have relied on the rich natural resources of the Appalachian Mountains for centuries, collecting plants for food, medicine, and livelihood. By the 1700s, Appalachia had become a major supplier of medicinal plants and was recognized internationally as a source of American ginseng. Today, the value of these products is substantial, with more than $11 billion in 2020 U.S. sales. There is a growing concern, however, that many medicinal herbs are disappearing. We review current research on wild harvesting, forest cultivation, and efforts to create markets for sustainably-sourced Appalachian medicinal herbs. There is a critical need for ecologically sound management and sustainable economies in Appalachia, to support our natural resources and communities. Keywords:

Electromyographic analysis of the three subdivisions of the gluteus medius during Wall Press Exercise and Figure-of-Four Position
Authors: Jardim Marco , Santos Inês , da Silva Madalena Gomes
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Gluteus medius (GM) is a segmented muscle involving three muscular subdivisions. Rehabilitation exercises has been suggested to strengthen specific subdivisions. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate muscular activation of the anterior, middle, and posterior subdivisions of the GM during two different exercises. METHODS: A total of 28 healthy active subjects participated in this study. Muscle activity using surface electromyography was recorded for the three GM subdivisions during figure-of-four position (FFP) and wall press (WP). Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to detect differences between GM subdivisions on each exercise and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare muscular activation across exercises. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences (P< 0.001) in all GM subdivision during FFP and WP exercises. Both exercises showed greater activation of the posterior subdivision than the middle and anterior subdivisions, with the WP causing highest activation of the posterior subdivision. CONCLUSION: In line with the WP exercise, the FFP produces sufficient activity to provide potential strength gains on the posterior subdivision and could be a viable option to include in the early stages of the rehabilitation process. Clinicians may use this information to make more informed decisions about exercise selection for strengthening specific GM subdivision.

Authors: Hisashiki Ryota , Miyachi Ryo , Miyazaki Junya
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: The effects of axial extension on pelvic floor displacement and abdominal muscle activity during pelvic floor muscle (PFM) exercises are not well known. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the effect of sitting axial extension on pelvic floor displacement and abdominal muscle activity during a PFM task. METHODS: Pelvic floor displacement, abdominal muscle activity, and subjective kinesthesia of the PFM were compared between the resting and axial-extended sitting positions during a pelvic floor task in 34 healthy young men. RESULTS: No significant difference in pelvic floor displacement was observed between the resting and axial extension sitting position. Subjective kinesthesia was significantly easier to perform in axial extension than in resting sitting position during pelvic floor depression. Abdominal oblique muscle activity was higher in axial extension than in resting sitting position during pelvic floor depression. The changes in axial extension were significantly greater in the internal oblique muscles during elevation and in the internal and external oblique muscles during depression than in the lower rectus abdominis muscles. CONCLUSION: Axial extension in the sitting position does not change pelvic floor displacement during the PFM task. However, axial extension may be effective in facilitating subjective kinesthesia of PFM and in increasing oblique abdominal muscle activity.

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Although the number of new cases of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been drastically reduced worldwide, patients who demonstrate long-term symptoms need more attention from health systems, as these symptoms can negatively affect functionality and quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate muscle function and quality of life at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months in patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome and to assess their associations with general fatigue and lung function. METHODS: This observational and longitudinal study evaluated patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. Participants were subjected to the following evaluations: Short Form-36; handgrip strength; Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scale; and spirometry. RESULTS: Among the 350 participants who were evaluated in the third month, 74.6%, 61.4% and 45.4% reported general fatigue, dyspnoea and cough, respectively. In the comparisons between the third month and the sixth month, there were significant increases in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scale, pulmonary function and several Short Form-36 domains. In the comparisons between the sixth month and the ninth month, there was a significant increase only in the social functioning domain of the Short Form-36. In the comparisons between the ninth month and the twelfth month, there was an increase only in some Short Form-36 domains. Significant correlations were observed between the Short Form-36 domains with Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scale, handgrip strength and pulmonary function. CONCLUSION: In patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, there was a progressive improvement in quality of life, general fatigue and pulmonary function during the 12 months of follow-up, with this improvement being more pronounced in the first 6 months. There was a relationship between functionality and quality of life in these patients.
Circulating microRNA as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of well-differentiated thyroid cancer: A review article
Authors: Bielak Cezary , Arya Arvind , Savill Stuart
Published: February 2023

Half of all people aged 50 and over develop a thyroid nodule in their lifetime, exclusion of cancer is required in each case. Nodule tissue sampling is performed by way of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), however a definite diagnosis is possible only in 30% of cases. The discovery of a diagnostic biomarker to discriminate between thyroid cancer and benign nodules would therefore greatly improve current clinical practice. Using the databases of Medline, Embase and Pubmed we identified 21 original research papers examining various microRNA as potential biomarkers. Currently, the most evidence supporting diagnostic utility exists for miRNA-222. It has been shown repeatedly to have potential in diagnosis of PTC & MTC as well as being linked with the most prognostic factors of all microRNA. To a lesser extent, evidence seems to support the diagnostic and prognostic utility of miR-146b, Let-7 family, miR-221 for PTC and miR-21 for PTC & FTC. MicroRNA appear to show promise as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, however there is still not enough data to produce a consensus. Continued research should be undertaken with streamlined protocols.

Published: February 2023

In today’s world different data sets are available on which regression or classification algorithms of machine learning are applied. One of the classification algorithms is k-nearest neighbor (kNN) which computes distance amongst various rows in a dataset. The performance of kNN is evaluated based on K-value and distance metric used where K is the total count of neighboring elements. Many different distance metrics have been used by researchers in literature, one of them is Canberra distance metric. In this paper the performance of kNN based on Canberra distance metric is measured on different datasets, further the proposed Canberra distance metric, namely, Modified Euclidean-Canberra Blend Distance (MECBD) metric has been applied to the kNN algorithm which led to improvement of class prediction efficiency on the same datasets measured in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score for different values of k. Further, this study depicts that MECBD metric use led to improvement in accuracy value 80.4% to 90.3%, 80.6% to 85.4% and 70.0% to 77.0% for various data sets used. Also, implementation of ROC curves and auc for k= 5 is done to show the improvement is kNN model prediction which showed increase in auc values for different data sets, for instance increase in auc values form 0.873 to 0.958 for Spine (2 Classes) dataset, 0.857 to 0.940, 0.983 to 0.983 (no change), 0.910 to 0.957 for DH, SL and NO class for Spine (3 Classes) data set and 0.651 to 0.742 for Haberman’s data set.

Published: February 2023

Dementia is a brain condition that impairs the cognitive abilities of an individual. Mild cognitive impairment is a mediator phase of healthy and dementia controls. The motivation of this study is to predict dementia using magnetic resonance imaging data, which is significant for the diagnosis of normal control and dementia patients. The proposed model leverages effective methods like Discrete Wavelet Transform, Bag of Features, and Support Vector Machine. The four wavelets haar, Daubechies, symlets, and coiflets are used for image compression. The results of the proposed data intelligence model are promising in terms of accuracy which is 92.32% which is better than the recently proposed models. Also, the proposed data intelligence model is compared with the models which may use curvelet transform, and shearlet transform and with the methods which have gone without using DWT transforms. The comparisons have also been made with the models that have used other prevalent techniques like Principal Component Analysis, Fisher Discriminant Ratio, and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. The outcomes support the usage of each technique in the suggested data intelligence paradigm.

With the rapid development of hyperspectral image technology, remote sensing technology has ushered in an innovation in theory and application, and hyperspectral remote sensing images have come into being. However, due to its high data dimensionality, it is difficult for statistical classifiers to work on it, making the technology face development difficulties. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the dimensionality of hyperspectral remote sensing images has gradually become a research hotspot in this field. The study clusters bands by K-means algorithm, and then combines the least mean square algorithm in adaptive filtering and recursive least squares method, and uses this as the basis for band selection. Finally, the dimension reduction effect is verified. The experimental results show that the improved band selection method achieves an overall accuracy of over 80% and 90% in the hyperspectral datasets of Pavia University and Idian Pine respectively, with the Kappa coefficient reaching 0.9. In the overall dimensionality reduction classification of the Indianan data, the accuracy also reaches 90% and can be maintained consistently, indicating that the method has high accuracy and can effectively reduce the dimensionality of hyperspectral remote sensing images.

PURPOSE: Parenting a child with special health care needs (SHCN) is often stressful. This study aimed to measure and compare stress among mothers of children with (a) Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - ASD group, (b) Developmental delay without ASD group, (c) SHCN without developmental delay group, and (d) Typically developing group. To assess factors associated with maternal stress in children with developmental disorders. METHODS: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed with children aged 2–12 years and their mothers. The study population was classified into four groups as defined above help of detailed history, developmental & behavioral assessments, psychological assessments, and Child Special Health Care Needs Screener (CSHCN). Parental Stress Scale (PSS) Questionnaire was administered. The main outcome measurement was the PSS and various factors affecting it. RESULTS: The mothers of the ASD group reported a high stress score (50.4±11.4) compared to SHCN without developmental delay group (38.2±8.8) and the Typically developing group (22.3±3.3) (p < 0.05) and higher but not significant stress than Developmental delay without ASD group (45.3±9.6, p > 0.05). Maladaptive behavioral issues and irregular interventions were the factors contributing to higher parental stress in the ASD group (p < 0.05). A moderate positive correlation was observed in rewarding and challenging scores of PSS among mothers of the ASD group, Developmental delay without ASD group, and SHCN without developmental delay group. CONCLUSION: Mothers of the ASD group perceived higher stress as compared to SHCN without developmental delay group and Typically developing group. Evaluation of stress and stressors is crucial for holistic management of ASD.

Flavocillin: a potent TrxR and OATP inhibitor
Authors: Labrou Dimitris , Pehlivan Mustafa
Published: February 2023

Flavocillin, a newly discovered beta-lactam antibiotic, shows promise in its ability to be a TrxR and OATP inhibitor. Through our docking experiments, we identified key residues in the docking process, that proves the idea that this molecule can increase the susceptibility of various bacteria to beta-lactams since it has been proven that the combination of TrxR inhibitors, along with beta-lactams, can minimize the creation of MRSA. Also, Flavocillin shows an affinity for the metallo beta-lactamase, omitting the use of clavulanic acid. Possibly, the combination of Flavocillin with other beta-lactams, as a therapeutic approach, could minimize the chances of creating antibiotic-resistant strains.

Child and adolescent self-harm in a pandemic world: Evidence from a decade of data
Authors: Cawthorpe David
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND
Little is known about the COVID-19 pandemic impact on child and adolescent mental health, specifically self-harm. This paper serves to form a basis for understanding and planning an appropriate response to the present and longstanding child and adolescent mental health needs with global recommendations for integrated community support and disaster preparedness.

METHODS
Anonymous, aggregated data from an established regional child and adolescent addictions and mental health service was employed to examine differences in the rates of self-harm as the primary reason for referral among the health-seeking population represented by quarter by year from 2010-2022 to examine whether self-harm rates have increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS
Females and self-defined sex had higher rates of self-harm referrals compared to males. Both total and first-time self-harm referrals since the COVID outbreak in 2020 did not exceeded the highest quarterly rates before COVID since 2010.

DISCUSSION
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, self-harm rates in one Canadian region remain stable and lower than the highest rates previously observed over the last decade. Given misplaced alarmist news and reports, a coherent, evidence-based, dynamic national response to mental health, social support, and disaster planning is required to fully understand how best to respond to the pandemic in general with a sustainable social support and disaster preparedness policy strategy and specifically the ongoing and pandemic-related mental health needs of the child and adolescent help-seeking population.
The influence of policy change on organizational structure
Authors:   , Clause Christopher
Published: February 2023

Public organizations respond to policy change in varied and unpredictable ways. The democratic control of these implementing agents represents one of the greatest challenges in the field of public administration. The current study took a mixed methods approach to exploring how one public organization that experienced a significant policy change responded as well as the policy-relevant effects that resulted from the response. Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) experienced a significant change in policy as a result of the passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Contingency theory tells us that in response to significant environmental changes, organizations will seek a structural response that aligns with the contingency demands of the environment, but also serves to protect or enhance performance. Describing the current case through the lens of contingency theory allows for attention to be drawn to important aspects of the organizational response that may have otherwise appeared unrelated. The results of this study point to the significant role that task uncertainty played in motivating the organization's structural response to the policy change, as well as provide evidence that the specific response designed by Missouri VR led to anticipated results supporting high level policy goals, but also may have caused unexpected effects on student access to VR services.
