Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound play an important role in the application of carotid plaque. AIMS: To establish carotid artery vulnerable plaques model by conventional ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound, identify high-risk plaques that may lead to cerebrovascular events, and provide clinical risk warning of high-risk plaques of stroke. METHODS: 205 cases of patients selected in 5053 patients with symptoms from 2018 to 2019 who were verified carotid plaques by conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound image characteristics, 147 cases as a training set, establishing the carotid artery plaque model, analyzing the characteristic of the plaques and the relationship between cerebrovascular event, with 58 cases as a test set, verify the model. Routine carotid ultrasound and contrast-enhanced carotid ultrasound were performed in all enrolled patients. RESULTS: The gray-level characteristics of conventional ultrasound in the training concentration showed statistical differences in plaque morphology, fibrous cap morphology, uniformity and calcification degree in cerebrovascular events. The contrast enhanced ultrasound characteristics of plaques showed statistical differences in neovascularization and perfusion mode in cerebrovascular events. In the test set, there were statistical differences in the above conventional gray scale features and CEUS features. CONCLUSION: The vulnerable plaque model established by conventional ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound has good diagnostic value for the characteristic plaque of carotid artery with cerebrovascular events.
Fuzzy based intelligent decision support model for restaurant menu management
Authors: Tom Mary , Annaraud Katerina
Published: September 2021

Restaurants operate in a dynamic highly competitive business environment with slim profit margin, changing customers, and costs incurring from materials and labour. Despite a solid demand for restaurant meals, the restaurant industry has a high failure rate, especially within the first three years of commencement. As the most important marketing, sales, and operational tool, a menu list must be well designed and well planned for profitability and competitive advantage. Menu Analysis (MA) or Menu Engineering (ME) refer to the broad range of techniques and procedures applied for effective marketing and operational decisions on menus. Choice of dishes is the food and beverage manager or the decision maker’s (DM) challenge which is a critical strategy decision. Quantitative or precise measures required for accurate evaluation of the effectiveness of a menu item is difficult to obtain. This pioneer study presents a Menu Management Decision Support Model (MMDSM) that applies Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision Making (FMCDM) approach to deal with the inherent imprecision in input using qualitative linguistic input values and obtain reliable outputs with increased decision options. Improving the widely used ME model with two inputs, the MMDSM includes four input parameters of Profit Factor, Popularity, Contribution Margin, and Sales Price related to each Menu Item. The MMDSM is successfully tested with a case study having one hundred and sixty-one Menu Item details from a U.S. restaurant. The results are verified by conducting a sensitivity analysis and the model can be developed into a commercial application.

Published: September 2021

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of cognitive impairment in the elderly. Recent evidence suggests that preventive interventional trials could significantly reduce the risk for development of dementia. Periodontitis is the most common dental disease characterized by chronic inflammation and loss of alveolar bone and perialveolar attachment of teeth. Growing number of studies propose a potential link between periodontitis and neurodegeneration. In the first part of the paper, we overview case-control studies analyzing the prevalence of periodontitis among AD patients and healthy controls. Second, we survey observational libraries and cross-sectional studies investigating the risk of cognitive decline in patients with periodontitis. Next, we describe the current view on the mechanism of periodontitis linked neural damage, highlighting bacterial invasion of neural tissue from dental plaques, and periodontitis induced systemic inflammation resulting in a neuroinflammatory process. Later, we summarize reports connecting the four most common periodontal pathogens to AD pathology. Finally, we provide a practical guide for further prevalence and interventional studies on the management of cognitively high-risk patients with and without periodontitis. In this section, we highlight strategies for risk control, patient information, dental evaluation, reporting protocol and dental procedures in the clinical management of patients with a risk for periodontitis and with diagnosed periodontitis. In conclusion, our review summarizes the current view on the association between AD and periodontitis and provides a research and intervention strategy for harmonized interventional trials and for further case-control or cross-sectional studies.

Published: September 2021

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor deficits and brain alterations having a detrimental impact on balance, gait, and cognition. Intensive physical exercise can induce changes in the neural system, potentially counteracting neurodegeneration in PD and improving clinical symptoms. Objective: This randomized controlled trial investigated effects of a highly challenging, cognitively demanding, balance and gait training (HiBalance) program in participants with PD on brain structure. Methods: 95 participants were assigned to either the HiBalance or an active control speech training program. The group-based interventions were performed in 1-hour sessions, twice per week over a 10-week period. Participants underwent balance, gait, cognitive function, and structural magnetic resonance imaging assessments before and after the interventions. Voxel-based morphometry was analyzed in 34 HiBalance and 31 active controls. Additionally, structural covariance networks were assessed. Results: There was no significant time by group interaction between the HiBalance and control training in balance, gait, or brain volume. Within-HiBalance-group analyses showed higher left putamen volumes post-training. In repeated measures correlation a positive linear, non-significant relationship between gait speed and putamen volume was revealed. In the HiBalance group we found community structure changes and stronger thalamic-cerebellar connectivity in structural covariance networks. Neither brain volume changes nor topology changes were found for the active controls after the training. Conclusion: Thus, subtle structural brain changes occur after balance and gait training. Future studies need to determine whether training modifications or other assessment methods lead to stronger effects.
Role of color-coded virtual touch tissue imaging in suspected thyroid nodules
Authors: Lian Kai-Mei , Lin Teng
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Conventional ultrasound (US) is the most widely used imaging test for thyroid nodule surveillance. OBJECTIVE: We used the color-coded virtual touch tissue imaging (VTI) in the Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technique to assess the hardness of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) TR3-5 nodules. The ability of color-coded VTI (CV) to discriminate between benign and malignant nodules was investigated. METHODS: In this retrospective study, US and CV were performed on 211 TR3-5 thyroid lesions in 181 consecutive patients. All nodules were operated on to obtain pathological results. A multivariate logistic regression model was chosen to integrate the data obtained from the US and CV. RESULTS: The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the model was 0.945 (95% CI, 0.914 to 0.976). The cutoff value of predictive probability for diagnosing malignant thyroid nodules was 10.64%, the sensitivity was 94.43%, and the specificity was 83.12%. Through comparing with US and CV, respectively, it had been observed that the regression model had the best performance (all P< 0.001). However, when the US was compared with CV, the difference was not significant (P= 0.3304). CONCLUSIONS: A combination of US and CV should be recommended for suspected malignant thyroid nodules in clinical practice.

ПОВЕРТАЮЧИ ПАМ’ЯТЬ ДО ПЛАШУВА
Authors: Hanynets Renata
Published: September 2021

Мета дослідження – продемонструвати трансформації меморіального простору Плашува від 1945 р. по сьогодні, аналізуючи пам’ятники та комеморативні практики, пов’язані з Плашувом. Дослідити як Плашув стає місцем пам’яті про Голокост у Кракові та дати оцінку ефективності відродження пам’яті про це місце.Методологія роботи – меморіальний простір Плашува проаналізовано на основі інтерпретацій поняття «місце пам’яті» в контексті методології П’єра Нора. Розглянуто перетворення Плашува з «місця непам’яті» на «місце пам’яті».Наукова новизна – полягає в комплексному аналізі меморіального ландшафту Плашува. У статті розглядаються пам’ятники, розташовані на території колишнього концентраційного табору як матеріальний символ, та комеморативні практики, пов’язані з Плашувом. Авторка досліджує яким чином відбувається функціонування цих символів в меморіальному, музейному та культурному просторі Кракова.Висновки. Меморіальний простір Плашува почав формуватись у післявоєнний час, коли в різні роки з ініціатив окремих організацій, що представляють групи жертв концентраційного табору Плашув, з’явилися пам’ятники. Попри трагічну історію території та розміщені на ній пам’ятники, мешканці району використовують локацію для відпочинку. Це свідчить про те, що пам’ятники не розкривають повною мірою Плашув як місце, де відбувався Голокост. Зміни в сприйнятті Плашува розпочались з 2002 р. із внесення території до реєстру пам’яток, що стимулювало проведення архітектурного конкурсу, який поставив питання про майбутнє цієї території. Історія Плашува та його сучасний стан стали темою декількох фотовиставок, що сприяло активізації зацікавлення історією та сучасністю Плашува як спеціалістів, так і широкої громадськості. З того часу декілька організацій присвячували Плашуву лекції, дискусії та виставки. Із 2017 р. Історичний музей міста Краків прийняв рішення меморіалізувати територію та власним прикладом заклав базу нового музею «Музей – Місце пам’яті Плашув». За останні декілька років комеморативні практики Плашува стали набагато інтенсивнішими, а зі створенням музею «Музей – Місце пам’яті Плашув» ця локація має всі шанси поступово витіснити неналежні активності зі своєї території та перетворитись на місце пам’яті про Голокост у Кракові.
НЕЕВРЕЙСКИЕ ЖЕРТВЫ НАЦИЗМА В КИЕВЕ В 1941–1943 гг.
Authors: Kruglov Aleksandr
Published: September 2021

Статья посвящена малоизученной проблеме, а именно проблеме нееврейских жертв в Киеве в 1941–1943 гг. Если о еврейских жертвах написано довольно много, то о жертвах нееврейских, особенно об определении их общего количества, научных исследований фактически не существует, что говорит о несомненной актуальности этой темы.Цель данного исследования – на основании архивных документов выяснить и подытожить общую численность различных категорий жертв нацистского оккупационного режима, убитых в Киеве в 1941–1943 г., помимо жертв Холокоста.Под нееврейскими жертвами – гражданскими лицами, автор понимает, во‑первых, заложников, «политических функционеров, саботажников и грабителей», душевнобольных, членов коммунистического подполья, украинских националистов, ромов – то есть тех лиц, которые были объектом нацистских репрессий и истреблялись по политическим и расовым причинам, и, во‑вторых, тех лиц, которые стали жертвами социально-экономической политики оккупантов, особенно голода, порожденного условиями оккупации. К нееврейским жертвам следует также отнести погибших военнопленных (кроме военнопленных-евреев).Научная новизна: В статье на основании документов из отечественных и зарубежных архивов, соответствующей научной литературы автор исследует разные категории нееврейских жертв, а также общие потери гражданского населения Киева в 1941–1943 гг.Выводы: За два года оккупации количество жителей Киева уменьшилось примерно на 105 тыс. человек. В это число входят: около 50 тыс. человек, которые в 1942–43 гг. были отправлены на работу в Германию, более 10 тыс. жертв неевреев разных категорий, несколько тысяч умерших (в основном от голода, а также естественной смертью), несколько тысяч человек, по разным причинам переселившихся в другие населенные пункты. Остальные жертвы – примерно 38 тыс. человек – приходятся явно на евреев, большинство из которых были истреблены в конце сентября 1941 г.Общие безвозвратные потери среди гражданского населения Киева (за исключением переселившихся в другие населенные пункты и вывезенных на работу в Германию) в 1941–1943 гг. могут доходить до 53 тыс. человек. Примерно 71–72% общих потерь приходится на евреев. Кроме того, из числа военнопленных погибли до 40 тыс. человек.Ключевые слова: Киев, нееврейские жертвы, оккупация 1941–1943 гг., Бабий Яр, противотанковый ров.

QUESTION FOR CURRENT SCIENCE EDUCATION: VIRTUAL OR REAL?
Authors: Bílek Martin
Published: September 2021

The feasible real experiments should not be in any way eliminated from school laboratory practice. This is the permanent starting point of all approaches to natural science curricula, and it is still in force. The real living environment makes us face more and more items of the virtual environment, worlds, mediated by infinite possibilities of computer networks. The mediated perception through virtual images has become (thanks to the massive spread of information technologies) the major cognitive channel of school age pupils. Direct utilization of information from an objectively existing reality is steadily superseded and replaced by virtual information. Six years ago we asked on the first pages of JBSE Nr. 1 (Bilek, 2010): How to blend an effective and meaningful application of real, indirect and simulative observation, measuring and experimenting according to didactic principles? Do we have to answer now or do we know directions where can we find the answer?
THE EFFECT OF A BLENDED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN A SMALL PRIVATE ONLINE COURSE (SPOC): A COMPARISON WITH A LECTURE COURSE
Authors: Jong Jing Ping
Published: September 2021

This study explored the effect of blended learning in terms of model-based collaborative learning in a small private online course (SPOC) environment on 10th graders’ achievements in stoichiometry through a quasi-experimental design. The participants included 140 tenth graders assigned to two groups: (a) the experimental group, which studied in a blended environment (N = 69) and (b) the control group, which studied in a conventional lecture-based environment (N = 71). The results revealed that the experimental group exhibited significantly superior performance than the control group after the intervention and that the key factor in enhancing students learning is the teacher’s facilitation. These findings implied that the blended model-based collaborative learning in a SPOC environment with proper design, facilitation, and face-to-face interaction groups provided students with opportunities to engage in learning to improve their achievements. Key words: collaborative learning, interactive learning environments, model-based Instruction, small private online course, stoichiometry.

THE EFFECTS OF PERCEIVED SUPPORT FOR CREATIVITY ON INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY OF DESIGN-MAJORED STUDENTS: A MULTIPLE-MEDIATION MODEL OF SAVORING
Authors: Lee Jing-Chuan , Wang Chih-Lien , Yu Li-Chih , Chang Shu-Hsuan
Published: September 2021

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineer and Mathematics + Art/Design) education is presented to broaden interest in STEM fields, enhance the creativity of STEM students, and spur innovation. Although studies have explored the environment factors that influence individual creativity, few researches have investigated the role of students’ savoring which might drive the demand-pull innovation in creativity cultivation. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of perceived support for creativity and the multiple mediation of savoring capacity on individual creativity in the context of undergraduate Design education. The instruments were administered to 851 Design-majored students in Taiwan. The collected data were tested against the research model using a path analysis-based procedure of multiple-mediators analysis. Research findings include: (1) Both students’ perceived support for creativity and their ability to savor (through anticipation, enjoying the moment, and reminiscence) have significant positive effects on their individual creativity; (2) Among the three methods of savoring, savoring the moment alone has significant positive effects on individual creativity; (3) Students’ perceived support for creativity mediated by their ability to savor the moment has significant positive effects on their individual creativity. The findings provide several important theoretical and practical implications regarding fostering students’ creativity in the context of STEAM education. Key words: STEAM education, perceived support for creativity, individual creativity, savoring, multiple mediation.
Upper gastrointestinal tract involvement of Crohn disease: clinical implications in children and adolescents
Authors: Kim Eun Sil , Kim Mi Jin
Published: September 2021

Crohn's disease (CD) is a multifactorial inflammatory disorder that can affect all segments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract but typically involves the ileum and/or colon. To assess patient prognosis and choose appropriate treatment, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the factors influencing poor outcomes, including disease phenotype. Pediatric CD involving the upper GI (UGI) tract has become increasingly recognized with the introduction of routine upper endoscopy with biopsies for all patients and the increased availability of accurate small bowel evaluations. Most clinical manifestations are mild and nonspecific; however, UGI involvement should not be overlooked since it can cause serious complications. Although controversy persists about the definition of upper GI involvement, aphthoid ulcers, longitudinal ulcers, a bamboo jointlike appearance, stenosis, and fistula are endoscopic findings suggestive of CD. In addition, the primary histological findings, such as focally enhanced gastritis and noncaseating granulomas, are highly suggestive of CD. The association between UGI involvement and poor prognosis of CD remains controversial. However, the unstandardized definition and absence of a validated tool for evaluating disease severity complicate the objective assessment of UGI involvement in CD. Therefore, more prospective studies are needed to provide further insight into the standardized assessment of UGI involvement and longterm prognosis of CD. Our review summarizes the findings to date in the literature as well as UGI involvement in CD and its clinical implications.

A Metabolic Intervention for Improving Human Cognitive Performance During Hypoxia
Authors: Coleman Kody , Phillips Jeff , Sciarini Michelle , Stubbs Brianna , Jackson Olivia , Kernagis Dawn
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: During hypoxia an operators cognitive performance may decline. This decline is linked to altered brain metabolism, resulting in decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Ketone bodies are an alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements;
previous studies have shown that the presence of elevated ketone bodies in the blood maintains brain ATP levels and reduces cerebral glycolysis during hypoxia. Thus, ketones may be a strategy to mitigate cognitive decline in hypoxia. Ketone ester (KE) consumption allows rapid elevation of
blood ketone levels; therefore, we investigated the effects of consuming a KE drink on cognitive performance during hypoxia. Here, we report results of a pilot study.METHODS: There were 11 subjects who completed a cognitive performance test battery under conditions of normoxia and
hypoxia following consumption of a KE drink and a placebo control drink.RESULTS: Significant hypoxia effects (O2 saturation minimum was found to range between 63 and 88 in subjects) were found for blink duration (Ph2 0.665) and blink rate (Ph2 0.626), indicating that
the hypoxia condition was associated with longer blink durations and lower blink rates. Significant hypoxia effects were likewise observed for a code substitution task (Ph2 0.487), indicating that performance on the task was significantly disrupted by the hypoxia stressor. KE consumption had
a significant effect on blink duration (Ph2 0.270) and the code substitution task (Ph2 0.309).DISCUSSION: These finding suggest that some effects of acute hypoxia can be mitigated by nutritional ketosis.Coleman K, Phillips J, Sciarini M, Stubbs B, Jackson O, Kernagis D. A

Fatality and Operational Specificity of Helicopter Accidents on the Ground
Authors: de Voogt Alexander J. , Hummel Hohl Caio , Kalagher Hilary
Published: September 2021

INTRODUCTION: Accidents with aircraft standing are more likely with helicopters than fixed-wing aircraft due to the common presence of off-airport landings and the possibility of the rotor system to strike objects in its immediate surroundings.METHODS: A total of 115
accidents involving helicopters characterized as standing as a broad phase of flight were selected from the NTSB online database for the period 1998 until 2018.RESULTS: Accidents reporting fatal (8.7) or serious injuries (7.8) were significantly less likely to occur when the aircraft
was substantially damaged (84.3) or destroyed (5.2). The majority of the cases occurred after off-airport landings (57.4), which were reported significantly more often in Alaska (N= 15). A main rotor strike with an individual was at the basis of each of the 10 fatal accidents in the
dataset and in 8 of these cases the cause of the accident was attributed to the victim. None of the accidents occurred in instrument meteorological conditions, but, in particular, high winds and gusts proved a main cause of accident (18.3).CONCLUSION: Pilot, passengers, and crew
endangered themselves when they were outside the aircraft while the rotors were still turning. Helicopter operating manuals should highlight the limitations and dangers for wind and wind gusts not only during takeoff and flight, but specifically when standing.de Voogt AJ, Hummel C,

BACKGROUND: The Aerospace Medicine Systematic Review Group was set up in 2016 to facilitate high quality and transparent synthesis of primary data to enable evidence-based practice. The group identified many research methods specific to space medicine that need consideration
for systematic review methods. The group has developed space medicine specific methods to address this and trialed usage of these methods across seven published systematic reviews. This paper outlines evolution of space medicine synthesis methods and discussion of their initial application.METHODS:
Space medicine systematic review guidance has been developed for protocol planning, quantitative and qualitative synthesis, sourcing gray data, and assessing quality and transferability of space medicine human spaceflight simulation study environments.RESULTS: Decision algorithms
for guidance and tool usage were created based on usage. Six reviews used quantitative methods in which no meta-analyses were possible due to lack of controlled trials or reporting issues. All reviews scored the quality and transferability of space simulation environments. One review was qualitative.
Several research gaps were identified.CONCLUSION: Successful use of the developed methods demonstrates usability and initial validity. The current space medicine evidence base resulting in no meta-analyses being possible shows the need for standardized guidance on how to synthesize
data in this field. It also provides evidence to call for increasing use of controlled trials, standardizing outcome measures, and improving minimum reporting standards. Space medicine is a unique field of medical research that requires specific systematic review methods.Winnard A,

Whither the Third Quarter Phenomenon?
Authors: Kanas Nick , Gushin Vadim , Yusupova Anna
Published: September 2021

INTRODUCTION: In 1991, Bechtel and Berning proposed that a decrement in morale and well-being affects people working in isolated and confined environments during the third quarter of their mission. Studies conducted during such conditions have suggested that whereas some people
may experience such a phenomenon, it is not a typical occurrence in space or space simulation environments. Possible reasons for varying outcomes include demand characteristic bias, individual personality traits, training omissions, experimental methodological issues, and the impact of mission
events on crewmember well-being. Research related to a future Mars expedition needs to investigate the impact of these factors.Kanas N, Gushin V, Yusupova A. Whither the third quarter phenomenon? Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2021; 92(8):689691.

Authors: Marushko Evgenii E. , Doudkin Alexander A. , Xiangtao Zheng
Published: September 2021

The paper proposes an identification technique of objects on the Earth’s surface images based on combination of machine learning methods. Different variants of multi-layer convolutional neural networks and support vector machines are considered as original models. A hybrid convolutional neural network that combines features extracted by the neural network and experts is proposed. Optimal values of hyperparameters of the models are calculated by grid search methods using k-fold cross-validation. The possibility of improving the accuracy of identification based on the ensembles of these models is shown. Effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by the example of images obtained by synthetic aperture radar.
