Authors: Bahadur Singh Amresh , Ranjan Gupta Nitin , Singh Seema
Published: February 2025

Background: Anemia is a prevalent comorbidity among hospitalized patients, often exacerbating the burden of underlying chronic illnesses. Understanding its prevalence, severity, and determinants is critical for improving patient care and outcomes.
Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted at two hospitals in Uttar Pradesh, India, investigated anemia among 372 hospitalized patients aged 15 years and above. Sociodemographic, nutritional, and lifestyle factors were recorded using structured questionnaires, and anemia was classified based on WHO hemoglobin thresholds. Morphological subtypes were determined through hematological analysis. Logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with anemia.
Results: Anemia prevalence was 64.2%, with moderate anemia being the most common (34.1%), followed by severe (15.3%) and mild anemia (14.8%). Normocytic normochromic anemia (32.8%) was the predominant type, followed by microcytic hypochromic anemia (28.2%). Significant predictors of anemia included daily alcohol consumption (AOR: 3.75, CI: 1.69-8.27), underweight BMI (AOR: 9.23, CI: 2.87-30.23), malnutrition (AOR: 2.59, CI: 1.15-5.83), and chronic kidney disease (AOR: 11.15, CI: 4.06-30.60).
Conclusions: Anemia is highly prevalent among hospitalized patients, driven by chronic diseases, malnutrition, and lifestyle factors. Normocytic normochromic anemia was most common, highlighting the contribution of chronic illnesses like kidney and liver diseases. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions addressing nutritional support and management of chronic conditions to mitigate anemia’s burden in hospitalized populations.

Authors: Dutta Pushan , Nath Nandita , Dutta Smrity Rupa Borah
Published: February 2025

Background: Tonsillitis is a very common disease, more prevalent in children and can be caused by a variety of microbes, out of which group A beta hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) is the most common. GABHS infection leads to elevated ASO titre in patient’s serum which may lead to several systemic complications if left untreated. The aim was to find out the prevalence of elevated ASO titre in patients with chronic tonsillitis and to analyse the impact of doing tonsillectomy in lowering the serum ASO titre.
Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out on 70 patients during a period of 1 year, who were admitted in ENT ward, Silchar Medical College and Hospital and were planned for tonsillectomy. Serum ASO titre was measured pre-operatively and on every follow-up at 1, 3 and 6 months post-operative period.
Results: Out of 70 patients, 26 were positive (37%) for ASO tire pre-operatively. There was not much improvement of ASO titre at 1 month after surgery but 3 months onwards there was significant reduction in ASO-titre level and at 6 months 21 of the 26 (80.7%) patients became negative for serum ASO titre.
Conclusions: In our study, we have found that tonsillectomy in indicated patients with raised ASO-titre has a significant role in reducing the titre level post-operatively and thus it prevents serious complications of streptococcal infections like rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis etc.
Single-stage laparoscopic management for concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones versus two stages using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures
Authors: Aldardeer Ahmed Abd El-Kahaar , Tag El-din Mohammed Sayed Mohammed , El-Mageed Magdy Khalil Abd , Redwan Alaa Ahmed
Published: February 2025

Background: The optimal treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones remains debated, with options including open or laparoscopic exploration, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) before, during, or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study compared outcomes of one-stage (LECBD+LC) and two-stage (ERCP+LC) procedures for patients with gallstones and CBD stones, focusing on complications and patient satisfaction. 
Methods: A randomized retrospective and prospective study included 200 patients with gallstones and CBD stones. Patients were divided into group I (n=100), undergoing one-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration (transcystic or transcholedochal) plus LC, and group II (n=100), undergoing two-stage preoperative ERCP then LC. Outcomes included operative time, complications, hospital stay, residual stones, and patient satisfaction. 
Results: Mean age was 43.16±12.66 in group I and 41.52±9.44 in Group II, with no significant gender differences. Preoperative jaundice was present in 88 group I and 86 group II patients. Operative times, conversion rates, and complication rates were similar. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 24 hours was lower in group I but comparable at 3 days. Hospital stays were similar, with 3% residual stones in group I and 0% in group II. Patient satisfaction and mortality rates showed no significant differences. 
Conclusions: One-stage LCBDE with LC is equivalent to two-stage ERCP plus LC in terms of operative time, complications, hospital stay, residual stones, and patient satisfaction. Both approaches are effective, with no significant differences in outcomes.
Predictive factors for the mortality of acute pancreatitis at the time of admission
Authors: Anand Arpit , Kela Manoj
Published: February 2025

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially life-threatening condition with an unpredictable course. Prognosis is influenced by organ failure and secondary infections related to pancreatic necrosis. Identifying mortality predictors at the time of admission can guide management and improve outcomes. This study aimed to examine clinical, laboratory, and demographic factors associated with mortality in AP patients to identify early predictors of adverse outcomes.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Hospital, Indore, from September 2022 to February 2024, involving 174 patients with acute pancreatitis confirmed by clinical symptoms, elevated serum lipase/amylase levels, and CT imaging. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, and binary logistic regression was used to identify mortality predictors. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The cohort included 135 males (77.6%) and 39 females (22.4%), with the largest age group being 21-40 years. The overall mortality rate was 12.1%. A significant association was found between age and mortality, with the highest mortality rate (33.3%) in patients over 60 years. Serum albumin levels were significantly lower in deceased patients (p=0.001). No significant correlations were found between mortality and factors such as serum amylase, lipase, liver enzymes, or sex. Binary logistic regression confirmed age as the only independent predictor of mortality, with a 1.371 increase in mortality odds per additional year of age.

Authors: Batheja Sagar , Mhaske Ashok , Dausage Chirag
Published: February 2025

Background: Hemorrhoids are very common condition, affecting approximately 1 in 4 individuals. The open hemorrhoidectomy, also known as the Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy, is the gold normal for treating third- or fourth-degree hemorrhoids, The stapler hemorrhoidectomy was successfully introduced with enthusiasm because it is associated with low level of postoperative discomfort. The clinical result of stapler hemorrhoidectomy and open hemorrhoidectomy was compared in this research based on post-operative problems and return to regular activities.
Methods: This potential observational analytical study was led on 80 patients diagnosed with grade II-IV hemorrhoids over 18 months. Patients were owed into group A (OH, n=30) and group B (SH, n=50) based on surgeon in consultation with the patient after usual counselling. The above study arms group were studied and compared.
Results: Stapler hemorrhoidectomy demonstrated significant advantages, severity of pain was documented to be significantly lower, reduced hospital stay (2.06±0.77 days versus 3.57±0.73 days), earlier return to normal activities (1.82±0.75 versus 3.03±1.16), rate of complications in the form of pain and bleeding were significantly lower during 1st week and second week of follow up.
Conclusions: When compared to open hemorrhoidectomy, stapler hemorrhoidectomy has a better clinical outcome because it is linked to fewer postoperative complications, especially pain and bleeding, early bowel movements, early hospital discharge, and an early return to normal activities. To determine the incidence of recurrence after stapler haemorrhoidectomy, further clinical studies with long-term follow-up are necessary.
Spontaneous uncoupling of microvascular anastomotic coupler device causing post-operative haematoma - salvage with re-coupling of the device: a case report
Authors: Gahankari Dilip , Yang Fu-Yu , Millan Lincoln S.
Published: February 2025

We report here a case of spontaneous uncoupling of the microvascular anastomotic coupler device (MACD), commonly known as venous coupler, causing acute post-operative bleeding and haematoma in early post-operative period, in a patient with free muscle sparing TRAM flap. This was noticed as the patient suddenly abducted her right arm post-operatively while patient tried to get up in a bed. This acute emergency was salvaged by re-engaging the coupler rings, with a simple technique with reinforced 9-0 Nylon sutures, without the need for revising the entire anastomosis.
Spontaneous hemothorax in neurofibromatosis type 1: a rare case of intercostal artery aneurysm rupture and the role of permissive hypotension
Authors: Salama Moataz Ahmed , Al Hammadi Asmaa , Esameldin Youssif
Published: February 2025

This case report presents the effective management of a rare and life-threatening spontaneous hemothorax resulting from the rupture of an intercostal artery aneurysm in a patient with undiagnosed neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). The patient exhibited acute chest pain and hemodynamic instability, requiring a multidisciplinary strategy that included permissive hypotension and interventional radiology (IR). Coil embolization successfully managed the hemorrhage, resulting in hemodynamic stabilization and positive patient outcomes. This case highlights the significance of promptly identifying spontaneous hemothorax in NF-1, the necessity of targeted resuscitation strategies, and the effectiveness of minimally invasive endovascular techniques in addressing vascular complications. This case study highlights the complexities involved in addressing an atypical presentation of an undiagnosed case of NF-1, which was further complicated by a sudden spontaneous hemothorax resulting from the abrupt rupture of an intercostal artery aneurysm. This underscores the essential importance of promptly identifying life-threatening bleeding and the necessity for a resuscitation strategy that is customized to the individual patient. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of employing a permissive hypotension protocol in stabilizing the patient's hemodynamics and preventing exacerbation of bleeding. The conclusive management utilizing coil embolization through IR effectively accomplished hemostasis. This paper aims to demonstrate that an emergency medicine physician must consider uncommon differential diagnoses when faced with a patient presenting with chest pain. It is crucial to maintain a high level of suspicion for rare, life-threatening conditions, including neurofibromatosis.
A rare case of ancient Schwannoma of the ulnar nerve
Authors: Prasad G. Raghavendra , Khan Abdullah U.
Published: February 2025

Schwannomas are benign tumors of neural crest origin that can arise from any nerve. Ancient Schwannomas are an exceedingly rare but benign variant characterized by degenerative changes on histopathology, often mimicking malignancy. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old man presenting with a painful swelling in the left hand. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested Schwannoma. Surgical excision revealed the tumor arising from a branch of the ulnar nerve. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ancient Schwannoma through immunohistochemistry.
The Double Gap: Gender and Disability in Parental Employment Outcomes
Authors: Martínez Claudia , Perticará Marcela , Smith Raimundo
Published: February 2025

This study employs an event study methodology to analyze the overall impact of childbirth, as well as the birth of a child with a disability, on the labor market outcomes of mothers and fathers. We use an annual panel of Chilean labor outcomes based on administrative data from pension and unemployment insurance, as well as data from the National Disability Registry in Chile. The findings reveal a significant gender gap associated with childbirth, which more than doubles in the presence of childhood disability: four years after childbirth, the gender gap in employment increases from 15% to 36% when the child has a disability. Specifically, childhood disability leads to parental specialization, creating an intra-gender gap. Mothers of children with disabilities experience poorer labor market outcomes than mothers of children without disabilities; four years after childbirth, these mothers are 15% less likely to be employed than other mothers. Conversely, fathers of children with disabilities tend to have higher labor market engagement than fathers of children without disabilities. These findings underscore the importance of caregiving policies, both in general and specifically for families of children with disabilities.
Combined Impact of Temperature-Dependent Heat Source and Gravity Fluctuation on the Onset of Darcy-Brinkman Reaction-Convection in an Anisotropic Porous Layer
Authors: Mamatha V. , Gangadharaiah Y. H. , Suma S. P. , Akkanagamma M. , Ananda K.
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the combined influence of temperature-dependent heat sources and gravitational fluctuations on the onset of double-diffusive reaction-convection in an anisotropic porous medium. The momentum equation is modelled using the Darcy-Brinkman approach, and linear stability analysis is conducted using normal mode analysis to formulate the eigenvalue problem. Four gravity functions linear, parabolic, cubic and exponential are analysed and the critical Rayleigh numbers for stationary and oscillatory modes are derived using a single-term Galerkin approximation. The results reveal that temperature-dependent heat sources, gravity variations, anisotropy and the Damköhler number significantly affect convection instability thresholds. Notably, exponential gravity fluctuations provide the highest system stability, delaying the onset of convection. These findings offer valuable insights into the stability behaviour of anisotropic porous systems, with applications in optimising geothermal energy systems, industrial heat management, porous media-based chemical reactors, groundwater filtration, subsurface energy storage and thermal insulation systems.
Major Findings: The findings revealed that temperature-dependent heat sources and exponential gravity fluctuations delay convection onset, enhancing system stability. Linear, parabolic, and cubic gravity variations promote instability, reducing stability thresholds. Anisotropy amplifies system sensitivity to governing parameters, while the Damköhler number significantly influences instability. Exponential gravity fluctuations emerge as the most stabilizing factor.

Published: February 2025

The rapid pace of economic growth has placed immense strain on our planet's resources. Our current reliance on fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, and coal, is unsustainable and poses significant environmental risks. Fortunately, a multitude of renewable energy alternatives, including biomass, hydropower, and wind energy, offer promising solutions. In addition to energy production, effective waste management is crucial. The surge in industrial and consumer activity has led to a dramatic increase in waste generation, particularly plastic waste. The widespread use of plastics, due to their versatility and affordability, has resulted in a global plastic crisis. In 2019 alone, a staggering 299 million tons of plastic were produced worldwide, a significant increase from previous years. Despite recycling efforts, a substantial amount of plastic waste ends up in landfills and oceans, causing severe environmental damage. It is estimated that between 10 and 20 million tons of plastic pollute our oceans annually, leading to the accumulation of over 5 trillion plastic particles. Our project aims to address this pressing issue by developing a sustainable solution to convert plastic waste into valuable biofuel. Through a process known as pyrolysis, we can extract oil and diesel from unsorted and dirty plastic, producing a product called Plastic Pyrolyzed Oil (PPO). This biofuel can be sold at competitive prices, making it a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Both plastics and petroleum-derived fuels are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, making them chemically similar. By harnessing the power of pyrolysis, we can break down plastic waste into its constituent components and convert it into a clean-burning fuel. This process offers several advantages over traditional waste disposal methods, such as incineration. Pyrolysis is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, requiring minimal pre-treatment and producing valuable by-products.
Major Findings: 1. Plastic pollution crisis: The excessive production and improper disposal of plastic waste pose a significant threat to the environment, particularly marine ecosystems. 2. Dependence on fossil fuels: The continued reliance on fossil fuels contributes to climate change and air pollution. 3. Potential of plastic-derived fuels: Converting plastic waste into fuel through processes like pyrolysis offers a sustainable solution to both waste management and energy production.

Published: February 2025

In the present study experimental analysis of the helical, spiral and conical coil with cone angle 90O for single-phase fluid flow is reported. Three different coil configurations are analysed under steady-state conditions. These three different coils (helical, spiral and conical coils) are formed with the same average coil diameter, tube diameter and tube length. For the analysis, an experimental setup with suitable instrumentation is developed. For each coil, sufficient numbers of test runs are conducted and readings are recorded with constant inlet temperature of cold and hot fluids as well as constant flow rate in every test run, to ensure the steady state. From the recorded results of the experimentation, heat transfer coefficients are calculated and the calculations are extended to calculate the Nusselt number (Nu) and effectiveness. The comparison of the results is presented from the analysis. Furthermore, the analysis is extended to predict the outlet temperature of hot and cold fluid, which shows good agreement with the experimental values.
Major Findings: The helical coil exhibited the highest Nusselt number (Nu), while the spiral coil had the lowest Nu. The conical coil demonstrated intermediate Nu values. The effectiveness (ε) of the coiled tube heat exchanger is inversely proportional to the parameter Z. Consequently, the effectiveness of the system can be readily predicted using graphical patterns.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the morphometric attributes of the Manjara basin in Latur, Maharashtra, India, employing geospatial technology to assess the watershed's hydrological and geomorphological properties. Using satellite imagery and terrain maps, the research evaluates key morphometric parameters, including the bifurcation ratio (1.279), which suggests minimal branching and a more linear network. The drainage density of 2.743 km/km² indicates moderate runoff and infiltration rates, implying balanced erosion and sediment transport processes. A stream frequency of 14 reveals a highly interconnected network of streams, while an elongation ratio of 0.712 points to a compact or rounded watershed shape. Additional findings include a relief value of 0.057, showing minimal vertical elevation variation, an infiltration number of 39.360, suggesting higher runoff with reduced infiltration, and a ruggedness number of 0.1659, reflecting relatively low terrain roughness. The significance of the infiltration number and ruggedness number is in assessing surface runoff, groundwater recharge, erosion patterns, and watershed stability. These morphometric indicators are critical for understanding the watershed’s hydrological behaviour, contributing to more effective catchment planning, flood management, and sustainable water resource use. The study's limitations include the reliance on remote sensing data, which may introduce errors in measurement accuracy, and the static nature of morphometric analysis, which may not fully capture temporal variations in hydrological processes. Future research should incorporate dynamic models and real-time data to enhance predictions of flood and drought risks under varying climate conditions. Despite these limitations, the results offer insightful information about how to design effective watershed planning strategies in the current context of mounting environmental issues.
Major Findings: The study reveals that the Manjara Watershed exhibits moderate drainage density, a compact shape, and minimal relief, indicating balanced hydrological processes. However, a high infiltration number suggests greater surface runoff and reduced groundwater recharge, while a low ruggedness number points to limited terrain roughness, influencing erosion and watershed stability.
HUMANISTIC IDEOLOGY AND EDUCATIONAL VALUES IN THE LY AND TRAN DYNASTIES
Authors: Le Vu Thi Phuong , Thanh Dinh Quang
Published: February 2025

The ideology of the Ly and Tran dynasties (11th–13th centuries) was shaped by the unique historical and social conditions of Dai Viet. During this period, the need to establish a strong, independent, and unified state was paramount, especially in the face of external threats from the Nguyen and Mong forces. To foster national solidarity and resilience, the Ly and Tran rulers integrated humanistic principles from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, forming a distinctive ideology. A key aspect of this ideology was its emphasis on education as a means of cultivating moral character and ethical behavior. The dynasties prioritized the development of an educated elite while also promoting broader educational initiatives that instilled values of altruism, tolerance, and compassion. This commitment to education aimed to elevate both individual and societal well-being, reinforcing the ideals of sublime humanity, dignity, and social harmony. By synthesizing the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, the Ly and Tran dynasties established a humanistic tradition that profoundly influenced the cultural and intellectual deve.

Authors: Nugraha Mara , Wibowo Eri Prasetyo , Wiryana I Made
Published: February 2025

Visual robot programming has important benefits in learning computing for early childhood education, such as enhancing creativity, understanding computing concepts, introducing algorithms, improving problem-solving skills, introducing technology, collaboration, and communication. The introduction of computing concepts at pre-schools children helps to prepare them for a future that is increasingly dependent on technology and computing. Visual robot programming language is still difficult to teach to pre-school children, so it is necessary to create a programming language that is easy to teach for children using block programming language. The design of the programming language starts from choosing the appropriate icon, creating the programming language flow and the use of block programs that are suitable for children to learn programming language for robots. The creation of a visual programming language (VPL) design such as the use of icons in block program, object drag and drop rules, programming language structure, suitable robots, and programming languages for pre-schools children using the structure, especially Indonesian programming language, to make it easier for pre-school children to learn in their mother language (using bahasa). This research has developed software designed to facilitate the teaching of robot programming language to pre-school children using block-based programming in Bahasa Indonesia.
22nd International scientific conference “Onomastics of the Volga region”
Authors:   V. I. Razumovsky Saratov State Medical University, Danilina Natalia I.
Published: February 2025

The article presents an overview of the work of the 22nd International Conference “Onomastics of the Volga region”, held on September
26–29, 2024, at Saratov State Medical University. The participants were diverse in geography and affiliation: the forum brought together scientists
from 58 universities and scientific institutions in Russia (35 cities), as well as neighboring countries. Two plenary sessions were held, five breakout
sessions, held in face-to-face and mixed format, and one intersectional session in a remote format. A total of 98 reports were presented. The
main areas of work were: anthroponymy, toponymy, urbanonymy and literary onomastics. We also considered the names of peripheral categories (pragmatonyms, armonyms, zoonyms, agionyms, ergonyms) and their functioning in different types of discourse. The range of topics and
the occupancy of sections showed that the study of urbanonymic landscapes (microtoponymy, godonymy, ergonymy) and literary onomastics
is currently in high demand. Historical, etymological and motivational studies of toponyms and anthroponyms are still relevant. In a number of
reports, other aspects of nuclear onyms were also touched upon: spelling, syntax, and translation. The appearance of reports in line with new
directions and aspects of onomastics can be considered significant: computer and corpus, onomastic studies of media and computer discourse.
Following the results of the conference, a collection of articles was published, the resolution noted the high level of organization and holding of
the event and recommended initiating the transformation of the traditional collection into a periodical.
Complexity as a textual, linguistic and metalinguistic category
Authors:   Saratov State University, Dementyev Vadim V.
Published: February 2025

The article attempts to systematize the linguistic (metalinguistic, textual) content of the concept complex / complexity. For this
purpose, linguistic and non-linguistic contexts with complex / complexity are analyzed, primarily from the point of view of evaluativeness and
markedness – unmarkedness. The main meanings and synonyms of complexity, spheres of complexity (communicative and non-communicative,
mental (conceptual)), degrees and purposes of complexity (intentional and unintentional – accidental, indifferent or unwanted complexity are
distinguished), complexity evaluation (it is shown that in most contexts complexity carries a negative evaluation, with the exception of several
specific groups of contexts) are revealed. The terminological and semi-terminological meanings of “complex” in different spheres are revealed.
The nature of complexity as a shifter concept (dialectical unity of simplicity ~ complexity) is discussed. Much attention is paid to the so-called
complexity in simplicity, realizing the concessive meaning of simplicity. A separate micro-study is concerned with linguistic contexts of complexity (complexity of language and languages, text, speech communication, including psychological and social complexity of human relationships).
Metalinguistic complexity and attempts to overcome it are discussed in connection with the semantic metalanguage of A. Wierzbicka, as well as
different semiotic types of “complex” signs, languages, texts.
Cypress by a cave: Erotic frustration, agon and death in Theocritus’ Idyll XI
Authors:   Saratov State University, Mikhailin Vadim Yu.
Published: February 2025

The author offers a possible explanation of a stable thematic complex including the themes of erotic frustration, agon and death as
a constitutive for idyllic genre. The choice of Theocritus’ Idyll XI for the analysis is motivated by its undoubtedly intimate character (along with
Idylls VII, XIII and XXVIII), which makes them part of some specific personalized contexts: the people mentioned were Theocritus’ colleagues
along with being his friends. So there are some extra characteristics for the meta position offered here to the audience – as it supposes on its
part not only a certain level of erudition together with the skills enabling the reader to operate concurrently with essentially different culture
codes but also professional skills of a poet accustomed with the know-how of the poetic process of the early Hellenistic ars poetica. The author
pays special attention to ekphrasa and ekphrastic techniques as one of the most characteristic elements of Alexandrian poetry, as well as to
the allusions to Homer’s Odyssey as a precedent text not only for this particular piece, but for the whole book. Other poems from the same
book are applied to as a comparative material both for thematic and poetics reasons. Also the possible personal references are discussed as
forming the intimate context crucial for understanding Theocritus.
Tragic dialectics of the lives of children from Tiverzin’s yard in the novel Doctor Zhivago by B. L. Pasternak
Authors:   V. I. Razumovsky Saratov State Medical University, Pavlova Natalia I.
Published: February 2025

The article analyses the tragic dialectics of the lives of children from Tiverzin’s yard, who devoted themselves to the revolution
and became its victims, as well as those against whom the revolution was conceived. The significance of the locus “Tiverzin’s yard”, which
occupies a significant place in the composition due to the way of life of the railway workers living there, who shaped the characters of the
future participants of the revolution, is analyzed. As a meeting place and a subject of memories, this locus is one of the means of characterizing the grown-up boys and girls. The methods of constructing the image of Olya Demina, the episodes in which her character is manifested,
are revealed and analyzed, the conclusion is made about the unconventionality of her nature: the ability to defend her opinion, to follow
the path that corresponds to her moral principles. The methods of constructing the image of Osip Galiullin – the most important minor
character, the double of Pavel Antipov and Yuri Zhivago – are revealed and analyzed. As a man who has determined his own fate, Osip finds
himself in the ranks of those against whom the revolution was intended, which makes him akin to Zhivago. Galiullin’s moral superiority is
revealed in his relationship with Pavel, their attitude to childhood friendship, official duties, methods of struggle, and anthroponyms. It is
concluded that the novel finds a solution to the ideological contradiction, which depends not on the hero’s inability to ideologically correspond to the scale of the event, but on the qualities of a person, which help him remain a Person. The unnaturalness of the revolutionary process
according to B. Pasternak lies in the disregard for the laws of humanity, which cannot correspond to the idea of life for the sake of life.
Variability and conditions of abstract genre destruction in publishing discourse
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Steksova Tatiana I. , Prasko Maxim V. ,   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University
Published: February 2025

The article deals with the problem of variation of speech genres and blurring of their boundaries. The
aim of the study is to determine the change of what parameters leads to the destruction of the annotation genre
functioning in publishing discourse and what changes are acceptable and are a manifestation of intra-genre
variation within one discourse. The study was based on 100 Russian publisherʼs abstracts of literary fiction
and childrenʼs editions published in 2000–2024, collected by random sampling. The results of the study prove
that the publisher's abstract in the conditions of marketing communication expands its functional capabilities and becomes polyintentional: in addition to the informative function prescribed by regulations, it has an impact
function. The strengthening of the advertising component leads to the violation of the requirements set by
normative documents to the structure and linguistic embodiment of publisherʼs abstracts. The manifestation of
the additional influencing function and flexibility of the structure demonstrate the variant realization of the
abstract genre in the publishing discourse, as the leading informative function and the status of a secondary
text are preserved. In the case when the text placed on the back of the title page is a quotation from the work
to be annotated or its structural element, the abstract loses its informative function and its secondary status,
which indicates the destruction of the genre form.

Published: February 2025

The article presents analysis of the genre repertoire of electronic communication between a lecturer and a student, as one of the new areas of Internet communication, which has not been the subject of
linguistic and genre analysis. The article offers and substantiates a classification of identified speech genres.
The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that this business form of communication is becoming
preferable in modern pedagogical discourse due to numerous social and technological processes. The research
material consists of written electronic asynchronous communication texts between lecturers and students in a
computer-mediated environment. Using the methods of observation and comparison of various genres formed
in the process of electronic communication, we have created the author’s speech genres classification relevant
for modern electronic communication between a lecturer and a student. This classification includes informative,
etiquette, imperative and evaluative groups of genres. In a quantitative sense, informative and etiquette genres
significantly predominate over imperative and evaluative ones. The group of informative genres has been
found to be the largest in our empirical material, which is due to the goals and objectives of this type of
communication – providing and requesting information. The large number of etiquette speech genres indicates
that the etiquette norms of institutional communication are followed due to their significance. Imperative and
evaluative genres are included in the lectures’ speech repertoire, which is caused by the institutional nature of
the considered form of interaction. The identified speech genres have a number of characteristics: secondary,
written and formal and they possess signs of oral informal speech of primary genres, which allows us to assert
that electronic communication between a lecturer and a student is going through a stage of formation and
development.

Objective: To establish the frailty profile of older people living in the urban areas of Bucaramanga, Medellín, Pereira, Popayán and Santa Marta in Colombia, as frail people aged 60 or over are increasingly important in primary care due to demographic change.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of 2506 participants, selected through two-stage probabilistic sampling, and classified according to the FRAIL scale, to measure frailty. A multiple correspondence model was built to define the frailty-pre-frailty and non-frailty profiles.
Results: The prevalence of people with frailty is 9.6%, and pre-frailty is 60.8%. These conditions were independently associated with female sex, depression, dependence for basic daily activities and falls. Similarly, the profile of pre-frail and frail elderly is determined by disability, falls, high nutritional risk, physical inactivity, being a woman and low socioeconomic status.
Conclusion: Frail and pre-frail elderly people have modifiable characteristics (disability, falls, nutritional risk, physical inactivity and socioeconomic status), in order to reduce the prevalence of this condition. It is recommended that elderly people be able to enter care programs at different levels, in order to contribute to healthy aging processes.

Published: February 2025

O artigo apresenta uma síntese integrativa da produção científica que incorpora conceitualmente a aprendizagem criativa. Do ponto de vista metodológico, ampara-se em uma pesquisa bibliográfica desenvolvida durante o mês de março de 2022 a partir do principal repositório acadêmico do país, o Catálogo de Teses & Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Foram encontrados 57 resultados. Com base nos documentos, estruturou-se a discussão, especificamente, sob cinco eixos: 1) características das formulações conceituais relacionadas com a aprendizagem criativa; 2) áreas do conhecimento que mais têm se debruçado sobre o tema; 3) autoras e os autores mais mencionados; 4) aspectos geográficos e institucionais da produção sobre aprendizagem criativa; 5) tipo e o volume da produção relativa às tecnologias digitais no contexto da aprendizagem. Observou-se, ao fim, que, embora o assunto esteja na agenda dos pesquisadores brasileiros e em ascensão, a intrínseca complexidade epistêmica do objeto espelha limitações e abre novas possibilidades teóricas.
Parceria escola e universidade na formação com e pelo outro: desenhando caminhos do trabalho coletivo
Authors: Varani Adriana , Akamine Aline
Published: February 2025

Este artigo partilha as reflexões advindas da parceria estabelecida entre a professora/gestora/pesquisadora da educação básica e a professora/pesquisadora da universidade no contexto do projeto de pesquisa e de formação, cujo objetivo foi potencializar melhorias dos processos avaliativos no interior da escola em busca da qualidade social, em uma escola pública municipal de Campinas, no período entre 2020 e 2021, em contexto de distanciamento social em função da pandemia de Covid-19. No recorte realizado para este artigo, nosso objetivo é a reflexão sobre a constituição do trabalho coletivo e da formação com e pelo outro no cotidiano do projeto como uma das dimensões da formação humana, problematizadas metodologicamente a partir das escritas narrativas produzidas pelas profissionais envolvidas. A experiência registrada resultou na reflexão de algumas lições: o contexto pandêmico retratado nas narrativas proporcionou o reconhecimento da relevância de estar juntos solidariamente no trabalho remoto; as interações estabelecidas deslocaram os olhares sobre o vivido, redimensionando os fazeres e saberes do e no cotidiano escolar; a experiência potencializou a sistematização das diferentes formas de trabalho coletivo e como se constituem enquanto dimensão da formação humana que referenciam a qualidade social.
Processos formativos em Psicologia Escolar na rede pública de ensino do Distrito Federal

Published: February 2025

A Psicologia Escolar é uma área de atuação, pesquisa e ampla produção de conhecimento teórico-metodológico. Entre as perspectivas práticas na área escolar, destaca-se a atuação institucional. Na rede de ensino público do Distrito Federal, essa perspectiva, originária dos estudos do Laboratório de Psicologia Escolar, é uma política pública adotada pelas Equipes Especializadas de Apoio à Aprendizagem (EEAA) da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Distrito Federal (SEEDF). Apesar da presença de psicólogos escolares na SEEDF desde 1968, a escolha pela perspectiva institucional ainda se mostra um desafio atual. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar revisão da literatura nacional, utilizando a metodologia PRISMA em cinco bases de dados, sobre as necessidades formativas para psicólogos escolares. Os resultados da revisão indicaram que: há carência formativa para o desenvolvimento de competências; é necessário o fortalecimento da identidade como psicólogo escolar; ainda é fundamental maior clareza teórica sobre a Psicologia histórico-cultural e a perspectiva institucional em Psicologia Escolar. A formação continuada foi identificada como importante ação para a ampliação e atualização das práticas profissionais, do fortalecimento identitário e para a compreensão crítica dos modelos coletivos de atuação.
Вenzimidazole derivatives with anticonvulsant activity and their pharmacological targets

Published: February 2025

Key biomolecular targets involved in regulating neuronal excitability are discussed, and recent findings on benzimidazole derivatives exhibiting anticonvulsant activity are presented. The relationship between their structure and anticonvulsant activity is closely analyzed. The literature review revealed that benzimidazoles possess diverse biological activities and significant potential for modulating ion channels, receptors, and other targets implicated in epileptogenesis, making them a promising scaffold for the development of novel antiepileptic drugs; can enhance GABAergic neurotransmission,showing strong anticonvulsant properties in various experimental models of epilepsy; antagonize NMDA receptors, which helps reduce neuronal hyperexcitability and provides neuroprotective effects; modulate T-type calcium channels and TRPM7 channels, which are important targets for treating absence epilepsy and preventing relapses of status epilepticus. Selective kappa opioid receptor agonists also demonstrate anticonvulsant effects and the ability to block excitotoxicity. Ligands that act on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma, KV7 channels, and purine P2X3 receptors are also considered. Continued research in this field may lead to the discovery of effective and well-tolerated medications for managing epilepsy.

Entheses are vulnerable to acute trauma under excessive loads, and are also the main target organ in a number of rheumatic conditions.

   Aim of the study was to investigate the features of the microscopic structure of the entheses of the fifth metatarsal bone in humans.

   Material and methods. The feet of 56 male cadavers aged 21–35 years were studied. On micropreparations of the fifth metatarsal bone with its ligamentous apparatus, the thickness of the fibrocartilaginous enthesis zones was measured, the location of collagen fibers was described, and their percentage content per unit area in the zones of calcified and mineralized fibrous cartilage of the enthesis was calculated, followed by a comparative analysis of the data obtained.

   Results and discussion. It was found that the connections of all four ligaments and the tendon to the V metatarsal bone are fibrocartilaginous entheses with four separate zones in their histological structure. A reliable predominance of the thickness of the calcified fibrous cartilage zone over the thickness of the mineralized fibrous cartilage zone of the entheses of the tendon of the short peroneus muscle, metatarsal plantar and collateral ligaments with a parallel arrangement of convoluted collagen fibers and single mature chondrocytes and their isogenic groups was revealed. The maximum thickness of the calcified fibrous cartilage zone is noted for the enthesis of the deep transverse metatarsal ligament with a direct arrangement of collagen fibers and multiple isogenic groups of chondrocytes, the minimum ‒ for the tarsometatarsal and long plantar ligaments with chaotically intertwined collagen fibers and many mature chondrocytes and their isogenic groups. The serrated basophilic line of enthesis of the tendon of the peroneus brevis muscle is characterized by the greatest thickness and amplitude of the serrations. A decrease in the proportion of collagen fibers from the calcified to the mineralized zone was revealed at the entheses of the tendon of the short peroneus muscle and the complex of the tarsometatarsal and long plantar ligaments; an increase in the proportion of collagen towards the mineralized zone at the enthesis of the deep transverse metatarsal ligament and its equal proportion at the entheses of the metatarsal plantar and collateral ligaments.

   Conclusions. The conducted study with the discovery of the features of the microstructure of the entheses of the fifth metatarsal bone testifies to the existence of age, sex, and possibly constitutional patterns of their structure and predisposition to mechanical injury.
