Researching the social aspects of dementia from a social work perspective
Authors: Mali Jana , Štambuk Ana
Published: May 2024

The issues associated with dementia are challenging for social workers, who have a lot of direct contact with people with dementia, as well as their support networks. These networks play a key role in the care of people with dementia. Social workers differ from other professionals in that they are aware of the urgency of attending to social justice, as well as the implementation of human rights, participation and equality. Recognising the experiences of people with dementia is of paramount relevance to social work, as it provides insight into their needs and the aptness of existing forms of assistance in responding to their needs. Through this approach, those working in social work strive to find new forms of help to enable people with dementia to live independently in their community. It is important to find ways to involve people with dementia as active co-creators in the helping process and in exploring the social perspectives of dementia. In the present paper, we present the literature review on experience of researching dementia from a social work perspective in Slovenia and Croatia—two countries with similarities in the development of social work and its research. The inclusion of people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia in research is very complex. Both professionals working with people with dementia (formal caregivers) and family members (mostly informal caregivers) face various difficulties and pressures. It is therefore important to consider research ethics and respect existing legal frameworks and informed consent. An individualised approach should be used to include people with dementia in research to meet their need for personal worth and dignity (despite numerous mental and functional deficits). Ultimately, all research should strive to determine the true situation of people with dementia and their needs, with the aim of using and developing their remaining abilities to improve the quality of life for both those people and those who provide care for them.
Team leadership and leadership roles
Authors: Kovačič Helena , Lužar Barbara , Iglič Hajdeja
Published: May 2024

Although leadership theory recognises the importance of leaders in a team, research has mostly focused on various personal characteristics of leaders or leadership style, while less attention has been paid to the social relationships in which leaders are embedded. We therefore examine both internal and external social ties of leaders with the aim of identifying variations in the network patterns of team leaders. We hypothesise that leaders' relationship patterns lead to different network structures, which in turn create differences in leadership roles. By examining the social networks of team leaders from Slovenian and Finnish organisations between 2009 and 2012, we empirically identify variations in leaders' social networks. The results suggest four distinct social structures within which team leaders perform their leadership roles. We have shown that leadership roles can be distinguished from teams and team leaders based on the characteristics of social networks.
Field comparison of dual- and single-spot Aethalometers: equivalent black carbon, light absorption, Ångström exponent and secondary brown carbon estimations

Published: May 2024

Abstract. The Aethalometer is a widely used instrument for black carbon (BC) mass concentration and light absorption coefficient (babs) measurements around the world. However, field intercomparison of the two popular models, dual-spot (AE33) and single-spot (AE31) Aethalometers, remains limited; in addition, the difference in secondary brown carbon (BrCsec) light absorption estimation between the two models is largely unknown. We performed full-year collocated AE33 and AE31 measurements in a megacity in southern China – Guangzhou. The babs values agree well between the two Aethalometers (R2 > 0.95), with AE33 / AE31 slopes ranging from 0.87 to 1.04 for seven wavelengths. AE33 consistently exhibits lower limits of detection (LODs) than AE31 for time resolutions of 2 to 60 min. The AE33 / AE31 slope for equivalent BC (eBC) was 1.2, implying the need for site-specific post-correction. The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) obtained from different approaches does not agree very well between the two models, with the biggest discrepancy found in AAE880/950. The estimated BrCsec light absorption at 370 nm (babs370_BrCsec) was calculated using the minimum-R-squared (MRS) method for both Aethalometers. The babs370_BrCsec comparison yields a slope of 0.78 and an R2 of 0.72 between the two models, implying a non-negligible inter-instrument difference. This study highlights the high consistency in babs but less so in AAE between AE31 and AE33 and reveals site-specific correction for eBC estimation and non-negligible difference in BrCsec estimation. The results are valuable for data continuity in long-term Aethalometer measurements when transitioning from the older (AE31) to the newer (AE33) model, as anticipated in permanent global-climate and air-quality stations.

Abstract. Soil microbes play a crucial role in the carbon (C) cycle; however, they have been overlooked in predicting the terrestrial C cycle. We applied a microbial-explicit Earth system model – the Community Land Model-Microbe (CLM-Microbe) – to investigate the dynamics of soil microbes during 1901 to 2016. The CLM-Microbe model was able to reproduce the variations of gross (GPP) and net (NPP) primary productivity, heterotrophic (HR) and soil (SR) respiration, microbial (MBC) biomass C in fungi (FBC) and bacteria (BBC) in the top 30 cm and 1 m, and dissolved (DOC) and soil organic C (SOC) in the top 30 cm and 1 m during 1901–2016. During the study period, simulated C variables increased by approximately 12 PgC yr−1 for HR, 25 PgC yr−1 for SR, 1.0 PgC for FBC and 0.4 PgC for BBC in 0–30 cm, and 1.2 PgC for FBC and 0.7 PgC for BBC in 0–1 m. Increases in microbial C fluxes and pools were widely found, particularly at high latitudes and in equatorial regions, but we also observed their decreases in some grids. Overall, the area-weighted averages of HR, SR, FBC, and BBC in the top 1 m were significantly correlated with those of soil moisture and soil temperature in the top 1 m. These results suggested that microbial C fluxes and pools were jointly governed by vegetation C input and soil temperature and moisture. Our simulations revealed the spatial and temporal patterns of microbial C fluxes and pools in response to environmental change, laying the foundation for an improved understanding of soil microbial roles in the global terrestrial C cycle.
A consistent dataset for the net income distribution for 190 countries and aggregated to 32 geographical regions from 1958 to 2015

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Data on income distributions within and across countries are becoming increasingly important for informing analysis of income inequality and understanding the distributional consequences of climate change. While datasets on income distribution collected from household surveys are available for multiple countries, these datasets often do not represent the same concept of inequality (or income concept) and therefore make comparisons across countries, over time and across datasets difficult. Here, we present a consistent dataset of income distributions across 190 countries from 1958 to 2015 measured in terms of net income. We complement the observed values in this dataset with values imputed from a summary measure of the income distribution, specifically the Gini coefficient. For the imputation, we use a recently developed nonparametric principal-component-based approach that shows an excellent fit to data on income distributions compared to other approaches. We also present another version of this dataset aggregated from the country level to 32 geographical regions. Our dataset is developed for the purpose of calibrating models such as integrated human–Earth system models with detailed data on income distributions. This dataset will enable more robust analysis of income distribution at multiple scales. The latest version of our data are available on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7093997 (Narayan et al., 2022b).
Assessing landslide damming susceptibility in Central Asia

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Central Asia regions are characterized by active tectonics, high mountain chains with extreme topography with glaciers, and strong seasonal rainfall events. These key predisposing factors make large landslides a serious natural threat in the area, causing several casualties every year. The mountain crests are divided by wide lenticular or narrow, linear intermountain tectonic depressions, which are incised by many of the most important Central Asia rivers and are also subject to major seasonal river flood hazard. This multi-hazard combination is a source of potential damming scenarios, which can bring cascading effects with devastating consequences for the surrounding settlements and population. Different hazards can only be managed with a multi-hazard approach coherent within the different countries, as suggested by the requirements of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. This work was carried out within the framework of the Strengthening Financial Resilience and Accelerating Risk Reduction in Central Asia (SFRARR) project as part of a multi-hazard approach with the aim of providing a damming susceptibility analysis at a regional scale for Central Asia. To achieve this, a semi-automated GIS-based mapping method, centered on a bivariate correlation of morphometric parameters defined by a morphological index, originally designed to assess the damming susceptibility at basin/regional scale, was modified to be adopted nationwide and applied to spatially assess the obstruction of the river network in Central Asia for mapped and newly formed landslides. The proposed methodology represents an improvement to the previously designed methodology, requiring a smaller amount of data, bringing new preliminary information on damming hazard management and risk reduction, and identifying the most critical area within the Central Asia regions.
On the impact of true polar wander on heat flux patterns at the core–mantle boundary
Authors: Frasson Thomas , Labrosse Stéphane , Nataf Henri-Claude , Coltice Nicolas , Flament Nicolas
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The heat flux across the core–mantle boundary (CMB) is a fundamental variable for Earth evolution and internal dynamics. Seismic tomography provides access to seismic heterogeneities in the lower mantle, which can be related to present-day thermal heterogeneities. Alternatively, mantle convection models can be used to either infer past CMB heat flux or to produce statistically realistic CMB heat flux patterns in self-consistent models. Mantle dynamics modifies the inertia tensor of the Earth, which implies a rotation of the Earth with respect to its spin axis, a phenomenon called true polar wander (TPW). This rotation must be taken into account to link the dynamics of the mantle to the dynamics of the core. In this study, we explore the impact of TPW on the CMB heat flux over long timescales (∼1 Gyr) using two recently published mantle convection models: one model driven by a plate reconstruction and a second that self-consistently produces a plate-like behaviour. We compute the geoid in both models to correct for TPW. In the plate-driven model, we compute a total geoid and a geoid in which lateral variations of viscosity and density are suppressed above 350 km depth. An alternative to TPW correction is used for the plate-driven model by simply repositioning the model in the original paleomagnetic reference frame of the plate reconstruction. The average TPW rates range between 0.4 and 1.8° Myr−1, but peaks up to 10° Myr−1 are observed. We find that in the plate-driven mantle convection model used in this study, the maximum inertia axis produced by the model does not show a long-term consistency with the position of the magnetic dipole inferred from paleomagnetism. TPW plays an important role in redistributing the CMB heat flux, notably at short timescales (≤10 Myr). Those rapid variations modify the latitudinal distribution of the CMB heat flux, which is known to affect the stability of the magnetic dipole in geodynamo simulations. A principal component analysis (PCA) is computed to obtain the dominant CMB heat flux pattern in the different cases. These heat flux patterns are representative of the mantle convection cases studied here and can be used as boundary conditions for geodynamo models.
Inclusive Change in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: A Collaborative Autoethnography
Authors: Somma Monique , Freer John , Shuttleworth Margo , Bennett Sheila
Published: May 2024

In many countries, including those in the Caribbean, there has recently been an increasing demand for professional development on inclusive educational practices This need for high-quality professional development is in line with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (2016) call for inclusion of all children by 2030. Recently, our team was asked to provide professional development to educators in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines that focused on evidence-based practices for students with special education needs. Over the course of 3 years, this service work evolved into a multi-faceted pilot of inclusive education, whereby students with special education needs transitioned from a segregated school into mainstream schools. In this article, we present a collaborative autoethnography that highlights our collective experiences. Our self‑reflections chronicle our experiences and accompanying perceptions gained through providing support and education to educators, students, schools, community, and families in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines over a 3-year period, as they prepared for this transition to inclusion. In collectively reviewing our self-reflections, we discovered three major themes at the heart of our service work: (a) “barriers to inclusion,” (b) “the importance of relationships,” and (c) “transformation.” In discussing these three themes, we explore the successes and challenges we experienced throughout these service projects. What follows is a discussion of our reflective musings related to these experiences as shared critical knowledge for sustainable inclusion work within the Caribbean and beyond.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of economic structural transformation on economic growth, income inequality, labor distribution, and community welfare. The method used is a literature study, by reviewing various academic literature, government agency reports, and case studies of countries that have undergone structural transformation. The results show that economic structural transformation generally increases economic growth and productivity through labor shifts from the primary sector to the secondary and tertiary sectors. These sectors tend to be more productive and efficient, resulting in increased output and new economic opportunities. However, these positive impacts are often accompanied by rising income inequality, as the industrial and service sectors offer higher compensation than the primary sector. In addition, this transformation brings significant changes to labor market dynamics, requiring new skills that the primary sector workforce may not possess, thus risking increased unemployment and skills gaps. From a social perspective, the structural transformation of the economy may lead to lifestyle changes and rapid urbanization, leading to infrastructure stress and social disintegration. To address these challenges, the study recommends a range of policies, including training and education programs that focus on inclusion, as well as income redistribution policies to reduce inequality. In conclusion, the structural transformation of the economy presents significant growth opportunities, but requires an inclusive and sustainable strategy to ensure its impact is felt equally across society. This study provides relevant recommendations for policymakers in managing economic structural transformation with a balanced approach between growth and social inclusion.

Authors: Mardianto Ricky , Stefanie Quinevera  , Rochimah Siti
Published: May 2024

Mango is a fruit known as the "King of Fruit" due to its rich flavor, vast variability, and high nutritional value. Classifying mangoes based on their external appearance is the initial step in the process of identifying and categorizing mango types conventionally. The classification process can be performed by examining external features such as fruit color, shape, and size. Classifying different types of mango fruits accurately can assist researchers in developing superior varieties and also aid farmers for cultivation purposes, sales, distribution, and selecting the right varieties for local growth and weather conditions. This research conducts the classification of mango types based on color from mango images using machine learning. The study compares three methods, namely Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), to determine the best method for classifying mango types based on their images. The dataset underwent preprocessing, where image sizes were standardized to 300 x 300 pixels, and color was changed to grayscale. The dataset was then divided into training and testing data with a ratio of 70:30. Subsequently, the dataset was processed using three methods, and their accuracy results were compared. The findings indicate that the Random Forest method yielded the highest accuracy compared to the other methods, with an accuracy rate of 96%. The accuracy of the SVM method was 95%, and the accuracy of the CNN method was 33%. From these results, it can be concluded that the Random Forest method is highly effective for classifying mango types based on their image compared to SVM and CNN methods.
Experience in the Use of Surgical Access to the Distal Part of the Radius in Comminuted Intra-articular Fractures
Authors: Antoniadi Yu. V. , Gordienko I. I. , Gilev M. V. , Dmitrieva E. G.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Fractures of the distal radius occupy a leading place in the general structure of limb injuries. In most cases, they are comminuted in nature and require open reduction and ﬁxation. With traditional surgical approaches to the distal radius, there is a risk of injury to the tendons of the muscles of the anterior group of the forearm and the median nerve; in addition, the skin incision lines pass through the projection of the gap of the wrist joint, which leads to the formation of painful scars and diﬃculty moving in the early postoperative period.

The purpose of the work is to evaluate the results of using a new surgical approach to the distal radius for the treatment of comminuted intra-articular fractures.

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 124 patients aged 19 to 78 years with a fracture of the distal radius for the period from 2015 to 2019 was carried out. A patient with a fracture of the distal epimetaphysis of the radius, Fernandez type III, underwent surgery through the proposed approach.

Results. Aﬅer transosseous osteosynthesis with a distraction external ﬁxation device, on the sixth day, open reduction, bone graﬅing and plate osteosynthesis were performed through the proposed approach. Restoration of congruence of the articular surfaces of the wrist joint has been achieved. In the early postoperative period, movement in the joint is free, discomfort during the rehabilitation program is minimal. Aﬅer 12 months, movements in the joint are fully realized.

Discussion. The new access makes it possible to improve the conditions for operations on the distal part of the radius with its fractures, creates a suﬃciently spacious and safe access to the radius, which allows you to preserve the muscular part of the square pronator and does not violate the anatomy of the synovial sheaths of the tendons of the muscles of the anterior forearm group, which is prevention of the development of deﬁciency of rotational movements of the forearm and contractures of the hand and ﬁngers in early and late postoperative periods.

Introduction.According to the World Health Organization data for 2021, there is an increase in the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. There is also an unfavorable growth trend in drug-resistant TB. One of the complications of the tuberculosis process is tuberculosis of the tracheobronchial tree, which has tended to grow in recent years. Many studiesindicate the incidence of bronchial tuberculosis from 10 to 40 %, taking into account the level of endoscopic service.

The purpose of the studyto demonstrate the high eﬀectiveness of an integrated approach in the treatment of a patient with tuberculosis of the lungs and tracheobronchial tree.

Methods.The materials of the study were: the outpatient card of the advisory department of the Central Tuberculosis Research Institute, the medical history of the inpatient patient and the results of a comprehensive examination.

Results.The presented clinical example demonstrates the high eﬀectiveness of an integrated approach in the treatment of a patient with a widespread tuberculosis process using anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, inhalation and pathogenetic therapy. By 4 months of treatment, pronounced positive clinical and laboratory dynamics was observed, signiﬁcant resorption of focal inﬁltrative changes in the leﬅ lung was achieved radiologically, and endoscopically, inﬁltrative tuberculosis of the trachea, leﬅ main bronchus and leﬅ upper lobe bronchus was cured.

Conclusion.This clinical observation demonstrates the need for an integrated approach in the management of this category of patients and shows the high eﬀectiveness of the treatment.

Introduction. Most retinal vascular diseases are associated with systemic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, age and smoking. However, in their absence, further examination is required to identify possible hematological disorders.

Purpose. Improve the diagnostic and management scheme for patients with occlusion of the central retinal vein or its branches.

Materials and methods. A clinical case of the onset of polycythemia vera with the central retinal vein occlusion is described. As part of the study, a molecular genetic analysis was carried out to identify the driver mutation JAK2V617F in peripheral blood as a screening diagnosis of Ph-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (CMN), a cytological, cytogenetic study of bone marrow aspirate and a morphological study of bone marrow trephine biopsy.

Results. A mutant allele of the JAK2V617F gene with a diagnostically signiﬁcant allele load of 14.61 % was determined in a patient hospitalized in the ophthalmology department with a diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) of the right eye. The patient was referred for further examination to the Moscow City Hematology Center of Botkin City Clinical Hospital, where, aﬅer examination, the diagnosis was established: True polycythemia.

Discussion. CMN are a group of tumor diseases of hematopoietic tissue characterized by malignant transformation of bone marrow stem cells with their subsequent clonal proliferation. Cytogenetic and molecular genetic disorders play a signiﬁcant role in the pathogenesis of chronic CMN. True polycythemia, essential thrombocytemia, primary myeloﬁbrosis belong to the group of classical Ph-negative CMP, Thrombotic, vascular and hemorrhagic complications are the most common causes of death in patients with this pathology.

Conclusion. Previously, various ophthalmological manifestations and symptoms have been described in patients with CMN. The observed complications are diverse and oﬅen secondary to the pathognomonic hematological disorders for these diseases. It is worth considering the clinical value of molecular genetic analysis to detect the JAK2V617F mutation in patients with central retinal vein occlusion for early diagnosis of CMN and timely administration of appropriate therapy.

Introduction. This study raises the issue of diagnostic and therapeutic value of hysteroscopy with endometrial vacuum aspiration in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) in IVF programs.

The purpose of the study is to determine the structure of uterine pathology in women with RIF according to hysteroscopy with endometrial aspiration biopsy and to study the eﬀect of hysteroscopy with subsequent endometrial vacuum aspiration in patients with a history of repeated implantation failures on clinical pregnancy rate.

Materials and methods. In this retrospective cohort study we investigated a sample of 143 patients who passed the program of IVF at the Clinical Institute of Reproductive Medicine (Ekaterinburg, Russia). We studied the frequency of detection of uterine pathology using hysteroscopy and endometrial vacuum aspiration in patients with RIF (n = 36) and in the control group without RIF (n = 89). We analyzed the diﬀerences in the chance of clinical pregnancy aﬅer embryo transfer (s) in the IVF program in patients with RIF aﬅer hysteroscopy with endometrial vacuum aspiration (n = 30) and in the control group (n = 18).

Results. The structure of intrauterine pathology was not statistically diﬀerent in patients with RIF and without this condition (p > 0.05 for all pathologies). Hysteroscopy with endometrial vacuum aspiration signiﬁcantly increased the incidence of clinical pregnancies in patients with RIF compared with the control group (23/30 (77.0 %) and 8/18 (44.0 %), p = 0.032).

Discussion. The obtained data on the structure of the pathology of the uterus correlate with the results of similar studies. The therapeutic eﬀect of hysteroscopy in infertility remains a matter of controversy.

Conclusion. Hysteroscopy with pathomorphological examination of the aspirated endometrium is the same intervention in terms of diagnostic eﬃciency for patients without identiﬁed uterine pathology on ultrasound, regardless of RIF status. Hysteroscopic examination with curative endometrial injury may increase the success rate of embryo transfer implants in patients with RIF.
Allotendoplasty in Treatment of Habitual Patella Dislocation in Adults
Authors: Gyulnazarova S. V. , Kutepov S. M.
Published: May 2024

Background. Habitual dislocation of patella is a congenital disease that manifests in early childhood or adolescent age and requires surgical treatment. In case this condition has not been rectiﬁed timely, the congenial patellar luxation develops the properties of a habitual dislocation accompanied by pain syndrome and osteoarthrosis development in the patellofemoral and knee joints. In most cases reconstructive surgery is used for this disease treatment; it is aimed at the strengthening of the knee joint interval compartment, with the formation of a ﬁbrous graﬅ or a vertical strip of it, which are moved to the knee joint outside compartment and ﬁxed to adjacent tissues with sutures. However, such surgery is possible only in case of preserved anatomic structures of the knee medial compartment. In adult patients, aﬅer multiple patellar dislocations, the interval joint capsule and medial aponeurosis lose their normal structure, become weakened, strained, and loose. That is why the patient’s own tissues from that area cannot be used for reconstructive surgery.

The purpose of the study is to develop the new low-traumatic method of treatment for habitual dislocation of kneecap in adult patients to ensure its reliable stabilization as related to the joint surface on distal femoral epimetaphys, and to prevent patella dislocation relapse.

Material and methods. Surgery technique consists of the lateral release of knee joint, mobilization of patellar ligament and its excision together with the fragment of tibial tuberosity osseous. On 1.5–2.0 cm medially from the area of own patellar ligament harvesting in tibia epimetaphys, the new bed with the similar form and shape is formed, and the excised tibial tuberosity fragment with patellar ligament is introduced there and ﬁxed with a Cancellous screw.

The area of own patellar ligament harvestingis ﬁlled up with autogenous osseous tissue taken from the medial part of tibia epimetaphys when forming the new bed for the excised tibial tuberosity fragment. Transversal tunnelis formedin the quadriceps tendon above the patella; allotendonis pulledvia this tunnel. The allotendon ends are sutured together, thus forming the duplication, analogous to the ligament, and ﬁxit, stretched to “pes anserinus” of the shin onits anterior-interior surface.

Conclusion. The new technology of allotendoplasty for the treatment of habitual kneecap dislocation in adult patients facilitates the surgical technique, additionally strengthens medial compartment tissues of the knee, reliably stabilizes the patella as related to its joint surface on distal femoral epimetaphys, eliminates patella dislocation relapse, normalizes the knee and patellofemoral joints functioning by preventing osteoarthrosis progression in them.
