Introduction: Several recent reports have described an increase in multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and multiple factors identified. Objectives: The primary objectives of the study are to determine the incidence of MDROs among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the risk factors leading to infection or colonization with MDROs among these patients and the determinants of mortality among infected patients. The secondary objective is to study risk factors for mortality among the study cohort. Method: A retrospective case-control study included all patients screened for MDROs on admission or detected later to have a positive sample for MDROs during their hospital stay (April-September 2020). Associations were tested using chi-square and independent t-tests. For the adjusted analysis, Multivariate logistic regression applied. P<0.05 was considered as statistical significance. Result: The total number of patients included was 313. 33.2% (n=104) were MDRO-infected or colonized patients, and 66.8% (n=209) were controls. The incidence density during the study period of MDROs was 16.7 per 1000 patient days, and the incidence was 17. 9 per 100 admissions. The monthly incidence density of MDROs ranged from 7.0 per 1000 patient days to 30.6 per 1000 patient days and steadily increased. In univariate analysis, the length of ICU stays P <0.001, length of hospital stay P <0.001, receiving ventilation P0.001, having urinary catheter P0.004, tracheostomy P<0.001, NGT in situ P 0.001, receiving more than four antibiotics P<0.001 and having comorbidities P 0.001 were risk factors for acquiring MDROs. Comorbidities were independent factors for MDRO acquisition (OR 3.61, CI 1.37-9.61, P0.010). Mortality was higher among those with MDRO infection (50%, n=30) than those with colonization (31.8%, n=14). Only receiving a few antibiotics was related to worse outcomes (OR 3.09, CI; 1.13-8.44, P0.028). The independent risk factors for mortality among the study cohort were age (OR 1.087 CI 1.06 to 1.1, P <0.001), and acute dialysis (OR 4.392, CI 1.82-10.61, P 0.001). Conclusion: The acquisition of MDROs was not associated with worse outcomes among COVID-19 patients, although mortality was significantly higher among infected patients than colonized patients. Implementing strict infection prevention and control strategies is vital to prevent colonization and progression to infection among colonized patients.

Introduction: Knee Joint Distraction (KJD) is a joint preserving procedure that can postpone arthroplasty in case of knee osteoarthritis. Distraction is applied with an external rigid fixation device for six weeks. To reduce the burden during treatment due to the absence of joint flexion, we developed a personalized articulating KJD-device. Its technical feasibility, joint-specific motion reproduction, was previously pre-clinically demonstrated. In this study, clinical feasibility of this new device was tested in three patients. Materials and Methods: Patients received conventional KJD treatment with a rigid distraction device. After two to four weeks, the device was removed during a one-day hospital visit and the joint was flexed on a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device until 30 degrees of flexion was reached, or motion became too painful. Subsequently, the articulating frame was assembled and personalized with custom hinge parts based on a non-invasive joint motion measurement. Weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing radiographs were intended to be taken at 0, 15, and 30 degrees of flexion for joint space width measurements. Finally, the articulating device was replaced by the rigid distractor and conventional treatment was continued. Results: For none of the patients, the articulating distractor could be personalized adequately. Insufficient joint motion was achieved during CPM due to intolerable pain at the pin sites. Conclusions: Despite confirmation of joint-specific articulating distraction on cadaveric legs, clinical feasibility could not be demonstrated, mainly due to painful motion of soft tissues along the bone pins. Safe and solid anatomical location of pins is considered to hamper articulating distraction.

Published: February 2023

3D printing has been applied to multiple areas since 1980. Biomedical applications have grown significantly and become the mainstream of 3D printing applications. In this review, we elucidated the publication distribution of biomedical 3D printing using the CAS Content Collection. From 2010 to 2021, journal and patent publications grew steadily, except for the decline in patent publications in 2021. In general, journal publications are higher than patents. There are approximately 90 countries participating in the 3D printing application in this field. We are reporting the publication distributions related to the following categories: (1) four major techniques: powder bed fusion, extrusion, jetting, and photopolymerization; (2) substances: polymers and inorganic substances; (3) biomedical fields: tissue/organs, orthopedic/prosthetic, pharmaceutical, and others. We investigated the correlation between these search terms and revealed the co-occurrence of the concepts appearing in publications related to 3D printing in biomedical applications. This review provides an overview of the current advancement and trends of 3D printing applications in the biomedical area.

Mirror-image biological systems have the potential for broad-reaching impact in health and diagnostics, but their study has been greatly limited by the lack of routine access to synthetic D-proteins. We demonstrate that automated fast flow peptide synthesis (AFPS) can reliably produce novel mirror-image protein targets without prior sequence engineering. We synthesized 12 D-proteins, along with their L-counterparts. All 24 synthetic proteins were folded into active structures in vitro, and characterized using biochemical and biophysical techniques. From these chiral protein pairs, we chose MDM2 and CHIP to carry forward into mirror-image phage display screens, and identified macrocyclic D-peptides that bind the recombinant targets. We report 6 mirror-image peptide ligands with unique binding modes: three to MDM2, and three to CHIP, each confirmed with X-ray co-crystal structures. Reliable production of mirror-image proteins with AFPS stands to enable not only the discovery of D-peptide drug leads, but to the study of mirror-image biological systems more broadly.
SPECIFICITY OF APOPHATHIC STRUCTURES OF CONTEMPORARY ESCHATIOLOGICAL PROPHECIES
Authors: Лебедев Владимир Юрьевич , Прилуцкий Александр Михайлович
Published: February 2023

Развитие апофатического дискурса в богословии связано с невозможностью определения и описания сущности и действий Бога при помощи существующего понятийно-терминологического аппарата теологических исследований. В эсхатологии использование апофатического подхода обусловлено внутренней спецификой апокалиптических пророчеств, а именно их герменевтической сложностью, чрезвычайностью и однократностью событий, необратимостью последующих результатов. В данной статье анализируется и типологизируется апофатическая герменевтика, анализируется профетическая апофатика, в том числе апофатические и псевдо-апофатические структуры современных эсхатологических пророчеств. Авторами анализируются семиотические особенности дискурса эсхатологической тайны и основные герменевтические паттерны ее обоснования. Рассматривается так называемый гносеофобский эсхатологизм, свойственный некоторым протестантским конфессиям. В заключении отмечается место эсхатологии в жизни современной Церкви.

The development of apophatic discourse in theology is connected with the impossibility of defining and describing the essence and actions of God with the help of the existing conceptual and terminological apparatus of theological research. In eschatology, the use of the apophatic approach is due to the internal specifics of apocalyptic prophecies, namely their hermeneutic complexity, the urgency and one-time occurrence of events, and the irreversibility of subsequent results. This article analyzes and typifies apophatic hermeneutics, analyzes prophetic apophatic, including apophatic and pseudo-apophatic structures of contemporary eschatological prophecies. The authors analyze the semiotic features of the discourse of the eschatological mystery and the main hermeneutic patterns of its justification. Further, the article discusses the so-called gnoseophobic eschatologism, characteristic of some Protestant denominations. In conclusion, the place of eschatology in the life of the modern Church is noted.
K.D. KAVELIN ABOUT THE LITERARY SALON OF A.P. ELAGINA
Authors: Михайлова Елена Евгеньевна
Published: February 2023

Цель статьи - представить позицию Кавелина по отношению к салонной культуре русской интеллигенции 1830-1840-х гг., атмосфера которой питала мировоззрение будущих славянофилов. Для текстовой наглядности выбрана статья «Авдотья Петровна Елагина», написанная Кавелиным и впервые изданная в 1877 г. в журнале «Северный Вестник». Выявлено, что статья, написанная по поводу кончины Елагиной, содержательно вышла за рамки некролога и достигла уровня анализа «умственного строя» русского общества. Статью Кавелина можно разбить на две части: биографическую и аналитическую. В первой части Кавелин как мастер фиксации действительности рисует коллективный портрет истории семьи Юшковых, Киреевских и Елагиных, во второй - пытается дать оценку поколению образованных дворян, чья активная жизнь пришлась на конец царствования Александра I и начало правления Николая I.

The purpose of the article is to present Kavelin's position in relation to the salon culture of the Russian intelligentsia of the 1830s and 1840s, the atmosphere of which nourished the worldview of future Slavophiles. For clarity of the text, the article «Avdotya Petrovna Elagina», written by Kavelin and first publishedin 1877 in the journal «Severny Vestnik», is selected. It is revealed that the article written about Elagina's death has significantly gone beyond the obituary and reached the level of analysis of the «mental system» of Russian society. Kavelin's article can be divided into two parts: biographical and analytical. In the first part, Kavelin, as a master of fixing reality, draws a collective portrait of the history of the Yushkov, Kireevsky and Elagin families, in the second part he tries to assess the generation of educated nobles whose active life fell at the end of the reign of Alexander I and the beginning of the reign of Nicholas I.

Job loss consequences and the pandemic recession
Authors: Guo Angela W. , Krolikowski Pawel M. , Yang Meifeng
Published: February 2023

Workers displaced during the pandemic recession experienced better subsequent earnings and employment outcomes than workers displaced during previous recessions. A sharp recovery in aggregate labor market conditions after the pandemic recession accounts for these better outcomes. The industry and occupation composition of displaced workers, the prevalence of worker recalls, and the uptake of unemployment insurance benefits are unlikely explanations.

Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the choice of coping strategies of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, entrepreneurs faced various types of stress and emotional stress caused by both the risks of losing business and economic crises, as well as negative psychological states of experiencing mass PTSD. The article provides statistics on the state of entrepreneurship before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as analyzes the issues of personal attitude of entrepreneurs to quarantine restrictions and its impact on business. In addition, the article examines the theory of coping behavior by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman, which presents the main interpretations of the concept of "coping" and its basic elements as ways of psychological protection of an individual in conditions of experiencing stressful and difficult life situations. Eight main coping strategies are analyzed, which are necessary for entrepreneurs in the face of threats and business risks caused by economic fluctuations in market conditions due to the introduction of national quarantine measures. The article describes the process of empirical research of the attitude of entrepreneurs to the course and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, statistically calculated the coping strategies used, focused on solving problems, emotions or avoidance, characteristic of Ukrainian entrepreneurs in an uncertain economic situation in the state. The article develops and formulates the main recommendations concerning information hygiene, emotional state control, mental relaxation, the introduction of physical activity and long-term planning, which will allow entrepreneurs to maintain emotional stability and prevent PTSD caused by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Psychoanalytical Review of Early Professionalization of a Personality in a Family
Authors: Virna Zhanna
Published: February 2023

The paper represents the theoretical grounding of psychoanalytic determination of early professionalization of a personality in a family. The theoretical review includes the analysis of basic psychoanalytic theories and concepts that relate to the issue of early professionalization of a personality. The specificity of psychoanalytic position in the consideration of professionalization beginning from the early childhood is inseparably connected with the family relationships. The aim of the presented material is theoretical review and systematization of the main psychoanalytic positions of the study of early professionalization of a personality in a family. Based on theoretical systematization and generalization of the main psychoanalytic postulates, the following has been surveyed: the approach of the effect of a child's unconscious desires on the choice of profession in Z. Freud's theory; the study of operatropisms and sublimation as the basis for the formation of professional development by T. Moser; the concept of the influence of organic processes on the development of individual by E. Bordin; A. Roe's theory of appropriateness of the attitude to the needs and orientation to the interests and dominant motives; the concept of the impact of life scenarios and strategies of the early childhood on the adult life by E. Berne, A. Bruhn, I. Stewart and V. Joines; A. Adler's analytical theory of personality in the concepts of experiencing one's superiority; social interest and aspiration to power in the future professional sphere; works concerning the definition of basic trust-distrust by E. Erickson and basic anxiety by K. Horney, which extend to the content of successful professionalization; the approach of unconscious desire for approval in the ego-psychology of H. Kohut; the basic positions of attachment theory of J. Bowlby; D. Winnicott's transitional space, M. Mahler's separation-individuationl; R. Spitz's anaclitic depression; preverbal consciousness of D. Stern. Based on the analysis and theoretical generalization of the problem, it is stated that unconscious children's impulses and ways to protect against them in a family upbringing compose the basis of personality disorders, the symptoms of which explain subjective sufferings, doubt and uncertainty in adult professional life.
Hypnosuggestion in Correction of Homosexual Desire: a Case from Clinical Practice
Authors: Коcharyan Garnik S.
Published: February 2023

Male patient M., 17, a student of the 11th form, consulted on his mother’s request. He felt sex drive mainly to males. If conventionally generalized sexual desire can be accepted as 100%, the proportion of his homosexual and heterosexual components was 75% to 25%. At that time he masturbated using homosexual (in 90% of cases) and heterosexual (in 10% of cases) fantasies (he imagined sexual intercourses). During all his previous life he had had 3 heterosexual and 3 homosexual intercourses. At the time of his first consultation the patient regarded homosexuality and bisexuality as the norm, but under influence of his parents and having comprehended possible negative consequences of homosexuality (absence of his own family and children in the future, his position in his parents’ family) he changed his opinion and agreed for correction of homosexuality. The state of that young man at the moment of his visit to us could be assessed as mostly homosexuality, but with inclusion of the heterosexual component. The provided correction included: (1) cognitive influences targeted at strengthening of the patient’s opinion that it is normal to be heterosexual, the latter making it possible to start a family, have children as well as be fully adapted in the society; (2) formation of the normal sexual behavioural stereotype: we recommended the patient to use only heterosexual fantasies during masturbation, while homosexual fantasizing was absolutely prohibited; (3) carrying out of 9 sessions of hypnosuggestive therapy, which was regarded as the basic corrective technique (the contexture of hypnotic sessions was supplemented with the cognitive and behavioural components). Analysing the dynamics of subsidence of the homosexual component of libido in the patient, we can state that the occurrence of obvious positive shifts was strikingly rapid, much more rapidly than expected. For example, as early as after the first hypnotic session the proportion of the heterosexual and homosexual components of libido was, respectively, 60% to 40%, while at the time of his first visit, as we have already mentioned, it was 25% to 75%. After the second session of hypnosis the above proportion already approximated 95% to 5%, and after the third hypnotic session the homosexual drive was completely neutralized. Nevertheless hypnotic sessions were continued with a gradual reduction of their frequency. They were carried out in order to fix the achieved results and exclude any possible recurrences. An interview with the patient 1.5 months after the end of therapy confirmed sustainability of the obtained results.

Authors: Isra M. , Andrianto D. , Setiarto R.H.B.
Published: February 2023

Heat moisture treatment is one of the physical modification techniques of starch that is
widely used in assessing the increase in resistant starch levels in foodstuffs. However, this
technique has different effects on each type of high-carbohydrate food. This study aimed
to analyze the type of carbohydrate food that has a significant effect in increasing the
levels of resistant starch and prebiotic properties by heat moisture treatment techniques.
This study used fourteen articles which were analyzed and selected through the PRISMA
guide method from a total of 531 articles obtained. The data was analyzed based on the
percentage value of the Hedges’ effect size (standardized mean difference/SMD) and the
value of the confidence interval (CI) using the OpenMEE software. The meta-analysis
showed that the heat moisture treatment method on high-carbohydrate foods had a
significant effect on increasing the levels of resistant starch and prebiotic properties (SMD
4.045; 95% CI: 2.301 to 5.788; p<0.001). The conclusion of this meta-analysis was that
heat moisture treatment had a significant effect with a 95% confidence level in increasing
resistant starch levels and prebiotic properties in high-carbohydrate foods.

The three-component condensation reaction of 4-methylbenzaldehyde with acetophenone and urea in the presence of CF3COOH was investigated and as a result, 4-Phenyl-6-(p-tolyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one (PPTP) was synthesized. The structure was determined by single crystal X-rays diffraction analysis which inferred that the PPTP crystallized in monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/c. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings indicate that the molecule is non-planar. The crystal packing is mainly stabilized by N-H O and C-H O bonding which is further stabilized by off-set π π stacking interactions. The supramolecular assembly is further investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The mechanical behaviour is predicted by the void analysis Moreover, the computational study is carried out for finding the interaction energy between molecular pair by using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) electron density model. The study inferred the role of various types of interaction energies in stabilizing the crystal packing.

Geometrical Effect of Under-reamed Pile in Clay under Compression Load Numerical-Study
Authors: Nasr Ahmed M. , Azzam Waseim R. , Harran Ibrahim S.
Published: February 2023

Recently, the use of deep foundations has increased as a result of the expansion in the construction of high-rise buildings, train tracks, and port berths. As a result of this expansion, it was necessary to use deep foundations that have low cost, high bearing loads, low settlement, and construction time, and such foundations are subjected to different types of loads such as lateral, vertical compression, and tension loads. This research paper will present one of the most important types of deep foundations that are aptly used in such structures and the most important factors affecting their bearing capacity and settlement in stiff clay. This type of deep foundation is called an under-reamed pile. The factors used in this study are pile length to diameter ratio L/D = 30, bulb diameter ratio (Du/D = 1.5, 2, 2.25, and 2.5), number of bulbs (N = 1, 2, and 3), and spacing ratio (S/D = 2 to 8). To investigate the effects of these parameters and obtain optimal results, the PLAXIS 3D was used. The analysis shows that the increase in bulb diameter increases the bearing load by 43%. Bulb spacing controls the failure mechanisms, whether cylindrical shear failure or individual failure and increases the capacity by 66% and 99%, respectively, for two and three bulbs when the bulb spacing becomes S/D = 8. When the number of bulbs increases to three, the capacity increases by 90%. If each bulb works individually, the bearing capacity doubles
Anxiety and its correlates among youth in Kashmir: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Javeed Ahmad  , Pirzada M Amin
Published: February 2023

Introduction: The present study was undertaken to study the anxiety patterns among youth in Kashmir. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conduct among 400 youth of the Kashmir Valley aged 15-30 years using multistage random sampling method. Respondents were drawn from the educational institutions (Higher secondary institutions, Govt. Degree Colleges and Universities of the valley) after obtaining consent from them. Apart from the self-designed structured questionnaire, standardized anxiety scales namely “Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED)” and “Screen for Adult Anxiety Related Disorders (SCAARED)” were used to achieve the objective of the study. Results: 143(35.75%) study subjects were found to have anxiety disorder. A significant association was found between anxiety and various demographic variables such as gender, occupational status, income and victimization because of conflict. Comparatively, higher prevalence of anxiety was recorded among males, smokers, unemployed ones, lower wealth quintals, rural dwellers and victims of conflict. Conclusion: Poor health system and non-detection/under detection of Common Mental Health disorders (CMDs) are responsible for the gap in the treatment of mental disorders. Early detection of the mental health disorders can be achieved by integrating the routine screening of mental health care with primary care. Community based mental health programmes is the need of the hour. Ensuring ample resources for youth so as to enable them to fulfill their potential and contribute fully to their individual and collective development. The gap between the allocation of resources for mental health and actual burden ought to be bridged.

The Effects of Urbanization and Vegetation Cover on Urban Heat Island: A Case Study in Osmaniye Province
Authors: Çolakkadıoğlu Deniz
Published: February 2023

This study analyzed the changes in the urban heat island effect in the 30 years (from 1990 to 2021) in the central district of Osmaniye. In this sense, there were two primary goals. Firstly, Land use/land cover change (LULC), land surface temperature (LST), normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were analyzed by using remote sensing methods between 1990 and 2021. Secondly, a linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors associated with LST, NDVI, and NDBI. The study results revealed increases in urban surfaces and the average land surface temperature values in the past 30 years and showed a decline in the vegetation with low, medium, and high NDVI values. The regression analysis results indicated a strong negative relationship between LST and NDVI and a strong positive relationship between LST and NDBI. It was also found a robust negative relationship between NDBI and NDVI. In light of the findings, it was stated that the amount of open and green areas should be increased in order to prevent the negative effects of the urban heat island in the central district of Osmaniye. For this purpose, it has been proposed to encourage green roof systems throughout the city, to create city parks and to create a green belt system. In addition, as a result of the study, the importance of preventing forest destruction caused by over-settlement in the Amanos Mountains, which is one of the rare habitats of the world with different plant species, was emphasized. In this sense, legal sanctions should be employed to protect those areas and prevent construction.
Differential expression of CLRN1 in pancreatic cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined public and published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding clarin 1, CLRN1, when comparing pancreatic tumors to the tissue of origin, the pancreas. CLRN1 mRNA was present at lower quantities in tumors of the pancreas as compared to normal pancreatic tissue. CLRN1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human PDAC.
Right-Sizing Growth Mixtures Models as Multi-Group Growth and Confirmatory Factor Models
Authors: Wood Phillip K , Wiedermann Wolfgang , Steinley Douglas
Published: February 2023

Multi-group growth curve models in which the factor structure varies across classes can be used as the basis for growth mixture models. This paper considers a variety of growth curve and related models based on those presented in Wood, Steinley & Jackson (2015). Two general multi-group growth models are considered: Growth models, in which only factor means are responsible for mean level of observed variables, and reference growth models, in which common manifest variable intercepts across groups are estimated as well. An analogous variety of latent class growth models are also considered. Right-sizing of mixture models consists of an initial assessment of the dimensionality of the series and a grid search of candidate growth models to determine the number of latent classes for the best fitting structural model. If the final solution of the best-fitting mixture model appears to warrant it, more parsimonious parametric growth models of functional form over time can be considered as well. The process is first successfully illustrated using simulated data sets to illustrate recovery of both pure and reference growth models and to illustrate the likely artifactual mixtures identified by traditional models. A simulation data set is also conducted to identify linear slope intercept models with varying linear basis functions. Finally, analysis of a real-world data set is used to illustrate the value of influence diagnostics.
A Potential Mechanism for Gibsonian Resonance: Behavioral Entrainment Emerges from Local Homeostasis in an Unsupervised Reservoir Network
Authors: Falandays James Benjamin , Yoshimi Jeff , Warren William , Spivey Michael
Published: February 2023

While the cognitivist school of thought holds that the mind is analogous to a computer, performing logical operations over internal representations, the tradition of ecological psychology contends that organisms can directly "resonate" to information for action and perception without the need for a representational intermediary. The concept of resonance has played an important role in ecological psychology, but it remains a metaphor. Supplying a mechanistic account of resonance requires a non-representational account of central nervous system (CNS) dynamics. We present a series of simple models in which a reservoir network with homeostatic nodes is used to control a simple agent embedded in an environment. This network spontaneously produces behaviors that are adaptive in each context, including (1) visually tracking a moving object, (2) substantially above-chance performance in the arcade game Pong, (2) and avoiding walls while controlling a mobile agent. These results may represent a useful step towards a mechanistic grounding of resonance and a view of the CNS that is compatible with ecological psychology.
Vocabulary learning in a foreign language: multimedia input, sentence-writing task, and their combination
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: February 2023

This article examines the effects of task conditions (i.e., with and without a sentence-writing task), multimedia input (definition only, definition + information, definition + information + videos), and combinations of these two variables on the learning gains of new words. This study involved a 2 × 3 research design. In total, 235 Chinese EFL learners were allocated to the six conditions. Vocabulary learning outcomes were measured by pre- and post-tests on 24 target items. The results showed that the definition + information + videos group scored significantly higher than the definition + information and the definition-only groups. Additionally, the sentence-writing task increased the effectiveness of vocabulary learning versus the condition without this task. The combination of the definition + information + videos condition and sentence-writing task was identified as the most effective technique for learning lexical items. This study high- lighted the effectiveness of combining multimedia input with a sentence-writing task to learn new words. Relevant teaching and theoretical implications were also discussed.
