Intracranial epidermoid cyst with malignant degeneration and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis: illustrative case
Authors: Alsadi Hussein , Dahlstrom Kelly , Summers Kyle , Camarata Paul J. , Werth Kyle
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Malignant transformation of epidermoid cysts (ECs) into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare, with associated leptomeningeal carcinomatosis being much less likely. Malignant transformation of ECs has a poor prognosis with a median overall survival of 10 months following transformation.

OBSERVATIONS

A 59-year-old male with a history of a subtotally resected posterior fossa EC presented with worsening symptoms 14 years following the initial subtotal resection. Imaging showed obstructive hydrocephalus and extensive leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Laboratory workup confirmed malignant transformation to SCC.

LESSONS

Nonmalignant recurrence of benign ECs is relatively common, often due to the complexity of complete resection and adherence to adjacent neurovascular structures. On the other hand, malignant degeneration of an EC is extremely rare. Any rapid change in symptoms, failure to recover following surgery, and new areas of irregular thickening and enhancement on imaging should prompt further evaluation for this process.

MSMEs have different ways of continuing their business based on their potential. The same is true for MSMEs in Lembak Village whose types of business are kemplang crackers and plantation products such as pineapples and sweet potatoes. This business activity has been going on for a long time, of course it has more or less knowledge and ability problems that need to be improved further in efforts to end MSMEs in Lembak Village. MSME players only plan funds for a period of less than 1 year and manage their business with limited financial management capabilities. This will have an impact on the loss of MSMEs in the future. The problem faced by respondents is that there is not much knowledge about planning and managing funds. The solution needed is to provide training for MSME players. The results obtained were an increase in the ability of the respondents to plan and manage funds using accounting to end their business. The implementation is carried out using the lecture method; tutorials and discussions as well as data obtained directly through distributing pre-test and post-test questionnaires to 23 MSME respondents in Lembak Village. The final result of this service activity is very useful because it increases knowledge of the importance of planning and managing funds in efforts to stop MSMEs in Lembak Village.

Published: February 2025

Topicality. Wild flax species are carriers of breeding valuable traits and can be used in breeding programmes to produce interspecific hybrids resistant to abiotic and biotic environmental factors, with higher yield potential than intraspecific ones due to large branching and the number of bolls on the stems. Purpose. In-depth study of wild annual flax species L. angustifolium and L. hispanicum for breeding valuable traits, including their crossings with cultivated flax samples to obtain interspecific hybrids with increased branching and high seed productivity. Materials and Methods. The research was carried out in 2017–2018 at the Institute of Oilseed Crops of NAAS. The research material was parental forms: wild annual homostylous species with n=15 L. angustifolium and L. hispanicum, culti-vated flax samples: L 5 (Czech Republic), L 6 (India), M 32/2 (Ukraine) and 12 interspecific combinations. Parental forms were studied based on morphological and economically valuable characteristics. The oil content in the seeds was determined using a labo-ratory AMB-1006 NMR analyzer, the content of fatty acids in the oil was determined by gas-liquid chromatography using a Selmichrome-1 device. In interspecific hybrids, the number and percentage of setting of bolls and seeds in them were counted. Results. We obtained hybrid seeds as a result of interspecific crossing. Valuable traits of wild flax species for breeding are early maturity (68–71 days as compared to 76–89.5 days in cultivated flax samples), a large number of stems per plant (5.6–6.5 pcs. as compared to 1.4–2.9 pcs.), lateral shoots (16.8–17.9 pcs. as compared to 5.7–10.0 pcs.), bolls (48.9–61.2 pcs. as compared to 15.5– 29.2 pcs.). It was found that wild flax species had a content of unsaturated linoleic and linolenic acids corresponding to the content of cultivated flax (13.0–16.2 % and 57.2–58.6 %, respectively). L. hispanicum had an increased level of saturated stearic acid (6.4 %) compared to other genotypes, where this indicator varied from 1.7 to 3.8 %. Conclusions. It was revealed that the level of setting the hybrid bolls and seeds decreased in the result of adverse weather conditions. A higher percentage of bolls and seeds setting was in crosses where cultivated flax was used as a maternal component.

Authors: Yablonskyi Petro
Published: February 2025

Further improvement of agricultural production is quite important for the national economy of our state in the current difficult period. One way to achieve this goal concerns the improvement of tillage implements. The use of computer-aided design, which cannot be imagined without geometric modeling tools, is effective for this. Therefore, the proper improvement of the quality of computer shaping of technical objects is an urgent scientific and applied problem.The generalization and integration of existing approaches in the field of machines and processes of agricultural production and structural-parametric methodology are the perspective researches, in particular, of the Applied Geometry School of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. This allows, on the basis of the proposed new theoretical positions, methods, techniques, algorithms, etc., to create more advanced geometric models of various products and processes. As a result, the mathematical and software support of modern computer-aided design systems is significantly improved.The article presents an analytical definition of the traction resistance of a coulter for direct sowing, which is a combination of a loosening tooth and an arrow-shaped cultivator paw. These tools, forming furrows in the surface layer of the soil, allow simultaneous strip sowing of grain, leguminous, small-seeded crops, etc. and stable trimming and destruction of weeds. Due to this, they are quite productive in use. Therefore, the development of the considered improvement of technical means is quite promising.This publication also highlights some aspects of the practical implementation of proposed by author the integration principle of the structural parametric geometric modeling theory. This concerns the combined shaping of tillage tools and the combination of the latter with mathematical descriptions of the processes of functioning of the specified objects.Conclusions are presented. The directions for further scientific research of the analyzed topic are outlined.

Authors: Zizlavsky Semiramis , Saleh Rangga Rayendra , Priyono Harim
Published: February 2025

Background: Cochlear implantation is one of the most promising hearing habilitation methods for patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). One of the difficulties associated with the method is predicting the outcome of the surgery, especially in patients with cochlear nerve abnormalities. Purpose: To evaluate the intraoperative cochlear nerve response using Electrically Evoked Auditory Brainstem Response (eABR), and determine if cochlear implantation was required. Clinical question: How significant was intraoperative eABR in determining the outcome of cochlear implantation? Case report: This study considered two cases with profound bilateral SNHL that underwent intraoperative eABR. The first case involved 10-year-old girl who had used conventional hearing aids for eight years before surgery. She practiced lip reading for communication. The second case involved 4-year-old boy with delayed speech and a history of febrile seizure when he was two years old. He had used a conventional hearing aid for six months. Method: Evidence based literature was conducted through PubMed, Embase, and Wiley. Result: On the first case, eABR examination evoked no response in both ears and the parents decided not to carry on with the surgery. In the second case, eABR examination aroused a significant response in both ears, so the implantation was performed. Three months postoperative, the child was babbling and able to detect sound. Conclusion: eABR could give valuable input in identifying profound bilateral SNHL patients with cochlear nerve abnormality. The high cost of implant devices makes this examination beneficial for the patient’s family in deciding if implantation surgery is required.

ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ НЕІНВАЗИВНИХ МЕТОДІВ ОЦІНКИ ФІБРОЗУ D ПАЦІЄНТІВ З НАЖХП ТА ІР
Authors: Козак О. А.
Published: February 2025

Вступ. Неалкогольна жирова хвороба печінки (НАЖХП) є поширеним захворюванням, яке може прогресувати до важких уражень печінки, включно з фіброзом і цирозом. Раннє виявлення фіброзу печінки є критичним для запобігання прогресуванню хвороби та зниження ризику ускладнень. Мета цього дослідження – оцінити ефективність неінвазивних методів, зокрема еластографії та систем оцінки фіброзу, для визначення фіброзу печінки в пацієнтів з НАЖХП та інсуліновою резистентністю (ІР). Методи. До дослідження були залучені 76 пацієнтів (45 жінок і 31 чоловік) віком від 25 до 60 років. Усі учасники пройшли біохімічні тести, трансієнтну еластографію для вимірювання жорсткості печінки та неінвазивну оцінку фіброзу за допомогою FibroTest, FIB-4 та NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS). Для аналізу даних були використані описова статистика й кореляційний аналіз. Результати. Результати показали, що жорсткість печінки, виміряна еластографією, мала значущу кореляцію з результатами систем оцінки фіброзу (FibroTest, FIB-4, NFS), з високими позитивними кореляціями між цими методами (r = 0,929, p < 0,01; r = 0,883, p < 0,01; r = 0,533, p < 0,01). Біохімічні маркери показали незначні відхилення, але вони не були достатніми для однозначного визначення розвитку фіброзу. Однак поєднання еластографії та неінвазивних систем оцінки фіброзу ефективно ідентифікувало пацієнтів із початковими стадіями фіброзу. Висновки. Інтеграція еластографії з неінвазивними системами оцінки фіброзу (FibroTest, FIB-4 та NFS) є надійним і неінвазивним підходом для точної оцінки фіброзу печінки у пацієнтів з НАЖХП та ІР. Цей підхід є перспективною альтернативою біопсії печінки для діагностики й моніторингу фіброзу, що дає змогу забезпечити ефективніше управління пацієнтами та раннє втручання.
ДІАГНОСТИЧНА ЦІННІСТЬ ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ LTB4 ТА IL-6 У ПАЦІЄНТІВ З АРТЕРІАЛЬНОЮ ГІПЕРТЕНЗІЄЮ, НАДВАГОЮ ТА/АБО ОЖИРІННЯМ І В ПОЄДНАННІ З КОРОНАВІРУСНОЮ ХВОРОБОЮ

Published: February 2025

Артеріальна гіпертензія (АГ) є найпоширенішим супутнім ураженням серед пацієнтів із коронавірусною хворобою (COVID-19) і незалежно від інших чинників ризику погіршує її перебіг, що, очевидно, пов’язане з імунною активацією та запаленням за наявності АГ і надваги та/або ожиріння. Мета роботи – дослідити вміст лейкотрієну В4 (LTB4) та інтерлейкіну 6 (IL-6) у пацієнтів з АГ, надвагою та/або ожирінням і в поєднанні з COVID-19. Матеріали та методи. Обстежено 84 пацієнти: 1-ша група – 40 пацієнтів з АГ, надвагою та/ або ожирінням, 2-га група – 44 особи з АГ, надвагою та/або ожирінням і COVID-19 з інтерстиційним ураженням легень. У групу контролю ввійшло 20 практично здорових добровольців. Усім особам проводили антропометричні, загальноклінічні, лабораторні, інструментальні дослідження, а також додатково визначали вміст LTB4 та IL-6 у сирооватці крові імуноферментним методом за ідентичними протоколами з наборами реактивів LTB4 ELISA Kit і Human IL-6 SimpleStep ELISA Kit. Результати. У пацієнтів з АГ і надвагою та/або ожирінням і COVID-19 встановлені суттєво вищі значення LTB4 – 995 (767,5;1645) пг/мл, ніж у групі осіб з АГ і надвагою та/або ожирінням – 658,5 (433,5;858,75) пг/мл. Водночас відмічене суттєве зростання IL-6 у пацієнтів з АГ і надвагою та/або ожирінням (7,36 ± 0,79 пг/мл) і за поєднання АГ, надваги та/або ожиріння з COVID-19 (30,94 ± 3,19 пг/мл). Висновки. Перебіг АГ у пацієнтів з надвагою та/або ожирінням супроводжується підвищеними значеннями LTB4 та IL-6, що є наслідком впливу хронічного запалення. Зростання вмісту LTB4 та IL-6 у пацієнтів з АГ, надвагою та/або ожирінням і COVID-19, імовірно, є ознакою формування цитокінового шторму, причому рівень LTB4, як хемоатрактанта нейтрофілів свідчить про більш важкий перебіг цієї коморбідної патології. Враховуючи важливу роль LTB4 та IL-6 в патогенезі COVID-19, їх можна розглядати як фармакологічні мішені для зниження ризику тяжкого перебігу коронавірусної хвороби і покращення прогнозу у пацієнтів з АГ, надвагою та/або ожирінням.

Worker performance is a necessary factor in the progress of an agency. It is known that there are workers who show less than optimal performance at PMI South Jakarta City, so it is necessary to know what the factor in the lack of performance produced. This research aims to determine the elements related to worker performance in PMI South Jakarta City in 2024. This research uses a cross-sectional study design and analysis using the chi-square test. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique with a minimum sample of 60 respondents. The research instruments used include NASA – TLX, MWMS, DOCS, and IWPQ. The results show that organizational culture (p = 0.011), motivation (p = 0.022), workload (p = 0.008), and working time (p = 0.041) have a relationship with employee performance. Meanwhile, age (p = 0.362), gender (p = 0.899), last education (p = 0.940), marital status (p = 0.090), length of service (p = 0.355), and job content (p = 0.455) showed no there is a relationship with worker performance. Agencies are advised to set equal working hours by regulations and implement a reward system to increase worker motivation.

Critical thermal limits, commonly quantified as CTmax (maximum) or CTmin (minimum), are core metrics in the thermal biology of aquatic ectotherms. CTmax, in particular, has recently surged in popularity due to its various applications, including understanding and predicting the responses of animals to climate warming. Despite its growing popularity, there is a limited literature aimed at establishing best practices for designing, running, and reporting CTmax experiments. This lack of standardisation and insufficiently detailed reporting in the literature creates challenges when designing CTmax studies or comparing results across studies. Here, we provide a comprehensive, practical guide for designing and conducting experiments to measure critical thermal limits, with an emphasis on CTmax. Our recommendations cover 12 topic areas including apparatus design, masking (blinding), warming rates, endpoints, replication, and reporting. We include diagrams and photos for designing and building critical thermal limit arenas for field or lab applications. We also provide a reporting checklist as a reference for researchers when carrying out experiments and preparing manuscripts. Future studies incorporating critical thermal limits would benefit from transparent reporting of warming/cooling rates (raw data, supplementary graphs) and photo/video evidence showing arena designs and critical thermal limit endpoints. We also provide directions for empirical research that will help further inform the measurement of critical thermal limits, including on biotic factors like stress and digestion, warming/cooling rates, the effects of body mass on heat transfer, and the physiological mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance.
Transmission of human handedness: a reanalysis
Authors: Karstadt Rony , Shiff Chloe , Oron Tomer , Ben Nun Nadav , Ram Yoav
Published: February 2025

Human handedness results from the interplay of genetic and cultural influences. A gene-culture co-evolutionary model for handedness was introduced by Laland et al. (1995), and the present study generalizes that model and the related analysis. We address ambiguities in the original methodology, particularly regarding maximum likelihood estimation, and incorporate sex differences in cultural transmission. By fitting this extended framework to existing familial and twin datasets, we demonstrate that accounting for criterion shifts significantly improves model fit and parameter estimation accuracy. We find stronger maternal than paternal effects on handedness, with daughters exhibiting greater sensitivity to these effects than sons. We provide an open-source Python implementation of the model, which is a robust platform for comparing gene-culture models and applying them to diverse datasets.
A Computational Linguistic and Stylistic Exploration of Natural Language Processing in Replacing a Human's Career in the Future

Published: February 2025

This paper aims to examine the integration of computational linguistics and stylistics, focusing on two primary objectives. The first objective is to determine if current technology can develop a program capable of detecting and analyzing the overall emotion in texts, potentially replacing the work of emotive stylisticians. The second objective is to assess the impact of AI on the telecommunications industry through a questionnaire survey. Two main methods were employed for data analysis. First, a software program was developed to perform sentiment analysis on selected novels. After processing each novel, the program produced a chart containing the words that have emotional value and their frequencies. Afterward, the software was coded to take the average of all the words that relate to emotions (positive, neutral, and negative) and detect the dominant sentiment among the three selected novels. The second method involved a questionnaire distributed to participants of an international telecommunications company, exploring AI's influence on their daily work. The results indicate that current technology cannot fully automate the role of emotive stylisticians due to reliability issues. Additionally, the survey suggests significant upcoming changes in the telecommunications industry due to AI's growing influence.

المجتمع الإلكتروني وأثره على الأسرة
Authors: عبيد جمعة حمد الكعبي
Published: February 2025

شهد العالم تحولات جذرية في العقود الأخيرة بفعل الثورة التكنولوجية والرقمية، مما أدى إلى ظهور مفهوم المجتمع الإلكتروني، وهو نموذج اجتماعي جديد يتجاوز الحدود الجغرافية والزمنية، معتمدًا على منصات التواصل الاجتماعي والتطبيقات التفاعلية لإعادة صياغة العلاقات الإنسانية، يتسم المجتمع الإلكتروني بكونه فضاءً رقميًا يجمع الأفراد لتحقيق أهداف اجتماعية وثقافية وتعليمية، حيث يمكنهم إنشاء هويات افتراضية تعبر عن قيمهم ومعتقداتهم وتعزز الروابط الاجتماعية في بيئة تفاعلية.
يتألف هذا المجتمع من عدة مكونات رئيسية، منها الأفراد الذين يشكلون النواة الأساسية عبر تفاعلهم في المنصات الرقمية، والتكنولوجيا التي تمثل البنية التحتية التي تتيح لهم الاتصال، كما تلعب الهوية الافتراضية دورًا مهمًا في التعبير عن الشخصيات والقيم، إلى جانب القيم المشتركة التي تشكل الإطار الثقافي والاجتماعي لهذا التفاعل، ويعتمد المجتمع الإلكتروني أيضًا على الأهداف المشتركة التي تجمع الأفراد، مثل التعليم أو الترفيه، مما يعزز من مستوى التعاون والانتماء.
تتميز تكنولوجيا التواصل الاجتماعي بخصائص فريدة، من أبرزها القدرة على إلغاء الحواجز الجغرافية، والتفاعل الفوري، والمرونة التي تتيح للأفراد استخدامها عبر أجهزة مختلفة مثل الهواتف المحمولة. ورغم ذلك، فإن لها تأثيرًا مزدوجًا على الأسرة؛ حيث تسهم في تعزيز التواصل والانفتاح الثقافي، لكنها في المقابل تؤدي إلى ضعف الروابط العاطفية والاجتماعية، وتراجع القيم التقليدية، خاصة في ظل الإفراط في استخدامها.
بالتالي فتأثير هذه التكنولوجيا على القيم والأدوار الأسرية، حيث أدى الانشغال بوسائل التواصل إلى تراجع التواصل المباشر بين أفراد الأسرة، وظهور مشكلات نفسية واجتماعية مثل الاكتئاب والعزلة، إلى جانب إضعاف دور الأسرة التقليدي في التنشئة والرعاية، كما أن العولمة التي صاحبت التكنولوجيا الحديثة ساهمت في إدخال قيم وافدة أثرت على الهوية الثقافية للأسر.
لمواجهة هذه التحديات، يُبرز البحث أهمية تعزيز الحوار الأسري وتنظيم استخدام التكنولوجيا، بالإضافة إلى تفعيل دور مؤسسات المجتمع المدني في دعم الأسرة وتوعيتها. كما يشير إلى أهمية تحديد أنشطة تجمع أفراد الأسرة وتشجع على التواصل الفعّال. ورغم التحديات التي يفرضها المجتمع الإلكتروني، فإنه يمثل فرصة لإعادة تشكيل العلاقات الاجتماعية بأساليب مبتكرة إذا تم استخدامه بوعي ورقابة فعّالة.
