The aim of the work is to study the ultrasound features of the peroneal nerves in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and compare them with the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and the characteristics of diabetes. The study included 67 patients (average age 59,4 ± 9.7 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus duration least 7 years. All patients underwent standard general clinical and biochemical examinations, insulin and proinflammatory biomarkers blood levels were assessed. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed by assessing pain, tactile and vibration sensitivity. The presence and severity of neuropathic pain were determined on the basis of a DN4 questionnaire and a visual analog scale. All patients underwent ultrasound examination of the peroneal nerves: the cross-sectional area of the nerve, its echogenicity and structure were studied. The results of the study allow us to state in the overwhelming majority of people with a long course of type 2 diabetes mellitus and unsatisfactory glycemic control the presence of significant changes in peripheral nerves according to ultrasound examination (92,5 % of cases), including in the absence of clinical manifestations of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Among patients with clinical manifestations of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (49,3 %), significant ultrasound changes in the peroneal nerves were more common than in those with no symptoms of this complication and correlated with the prescription of diabetes mellitus, glycated hemoglobin levels, age, manifestations of metabolic syndrome and the presence of other micro- and macrovascular complications. The study results suggest the possibility of wider use of peroneal nerves ultrasound examination for early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, its course prediction and, probably, can be used to improve the principles of choosing therapeutic tactics in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The aim of the study is to present our own experience of using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for making a clinically informed decision to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a particular patient. Material and methods: A 65-year-old patient with angina pectoris and a positive exercise test, which revealed horizontal ST depression in the chest leads, underwent diagnostic coronary angiography, which diagnosed stenosis of up to 50 % of the trunk of the left coronary artery (LCA). In this connection, IVUS was performed to make a decision on the advisability of performing PCI. According to IVUS data, the area of narrowing of the LCA trunk was 60 %. There is a “torn” edge of the intima of the vessel with severe calcification in the largest segment of the narrowing, which indicates the “instability” of the atherosclerotic plaque. The patient underwent PCI with stenting of the LCA trunk with a transition to the proximal segment of the anterior descending artery (LAD) due to the spread of an atherosclerotic plaque at the mouth of the LAD. Conclusion: IVUS plays an important role in the decision to perform PCI in controversial cases and complex atherosclerotic lesions.

Published: July 2024

The increasing amount of IoT devices increases the size of network traffic data, causing an increase in the incidence of security breaches in IoT networks. Cybercriminals have developed malware to compromise the security of sensitive data, among other cyber threats. In the presence of inadequate and robust security mechanisms, sensitive data is prone to vulnerability. Hence, protecting data in the IoT environment is becoming a mandatory task. Various approaches have addressed malware detection using network data features. However, there is still room for improvement in developing superior techniques and utilizing more comprehensive datasets. This paper presents a novel lightweight ensemble voting classifier to detect malware traffic by deploying the best possible network data. The merits of the correlation coefficient and Opposition-Based Crow Search Algorithm (OCS) have been leveraged to compute the best possible features. Another advantage of this proposed experiment is its focus on a dataset tailored to malware traffic features. This focus enables highly accurate malware detection. After feature selection using OCS, the proposed malware classifier is trained and validated with both 5-fold and 10-fold cross-validation techniques. The tested results confirm that the presented malware classifier performs best using a minimal feature set, which is highly advantageous for IoT networks due to resource constraints.

Published: July 2024

Marine shrimp shell, a member of the Caridean biological family, is an aquatic crustacean used in aquariums with a wide range of pharmacological activities. This study's success in the development of a natural resource of silver oxide/iron oxide nanocomposite (NCs) (AgO/Fe2O3 NCs) prepared by combining a marine shrimp shell extract with Ag2NO3 and FeCl3 salt via a PLA (Nd-YAG) process. AgO/Fe2O3 NCs are vital to antibacterial because they kill germs and maintain a disease-free environment. XRD analysis, FE-SEM pictures, TEM images, EDS, mapping, and FTIR spectra were employed to investigate AgO/Fe2O3 NCs. The XRD data indicates that AgO/Fe2O3 NCs have a face centre cubic F.C.C. structure with a range of crystallite sizes between 9.6 and 19.5 nm. Moreover, according to the FE-SEM data, the AgO/Fe2O3 NCs' average diameters of 10 to 20 nm revealed a nano-spherical shape. According to TEM scans, AgO/Fe2O3 NCs varied in size from 15.4 to 23 nm and were spherical with aggregation in form. Ag, Fe, and O occurrences were present in high-purity AgO/Fe2O3 NCs, as demonstrated by the EDS spectra with their picture. In the FTIR spectra, peaks related to the symmetric stretching vibrations of Ag-O and I-O bonds can be seen at 726 cm-1. The inhibition zones of antibacterial AgO/Fe2O3 NCs were evaluated using diffusion. The inhibition zones measured 29 to 13.5 mm for gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and 40 mm for gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli); at Candida, the inhibition zone diameters (IZDs) value was 42 mm. To the best of the author's knowledge, combining marine shrimp shell extract with Ag2NO3 and FeCl3 salt using a PLA (Nd-YAG) approach is novel and hasn't been discussed in any research publications yet.

Published: July 2024

The proposed article is dedicated to the literary theorist, methodologist, teacher Prof. Alexander Panov. The text examines part of his scientific production, with the main focus being on his latest book “Yordan Yovkov – the art of storytelling”, which examines in a theoretical aspect the latest theoretical positions related to narratology. Some of his analyzes Prof. Al. Panov offered to the magazine “Bulgarian Language and Literature” – “Albena”, “Indje” – so the basis of the book was already laid in the main methodical edition. Emphasis is placed on genre purity, which the researcher insists on, and the theoretical statement that the reader is an active figure in the act of reception, a part of the communicative process creating the literary work, is followed. The main problem is dialogicity, which must be achieved and the feeling of relative freedom in this communication in order for it to become co-communication and co-existence.

Authors: Aleksandrova-Koleva Sonya
Published: July 2024

This text is a part of bigger research of different premodernist characteristics in the works of Maupassant. It is focused over a part of picture images in the novel Bel Ami, interpreted as a game coding of dominant themes of the work and Maupassant’s works in general through the figure of pseudo-ekphrasis. The text presents our understanding for ekphrasis together with the reasons for choosing the term of pseudo-ekphrasis. We analyze pseudo-ekphrasis as a sign of modern thinking of mimetic technics, because it succeeded to present whole phantasm images as iconic. The text presents thematic analysis of the images of the character Walter collection in order to introduce the functions of technical figure on a semantic level in the narration.
White/red Coloratives in Bulgarian Migrant Languages in Ukraine: Carpatho-Balkan Parallels
Authors: Kolesnik Valentina , Iarotska Galyna
Published: July 2024

The paper is a continuation of previous research, which attempted to show that in the studied Bulgarian migrant languages in Ukraine and in the South Slavic languages there are several names that are related to Ukrainian Carpathian dialects. The aim of the paper is to investigate the white/red colloquialism in the ritual text of Bulgarian migrant languages in Ukraine and in the Carpatho-Balkan area. The object of the linguistic analysis is the folkloric discourse from the speech of the village of Vinogradovka (Burguzhi), Odesa region, Ukraine, which has not been the subject of scientific research so far. Dialectological material from the speech of the village of Kubey and some other Bulgarian migrant languages is used for comparison. The objects of the study are individual lexical items with the root *bel- : white rakija ‘sign that the bride was a virgin on the first wedding night’ and white mouse ‘weasel’. In order to achieve the goal, it was necessary, first of all, to make a brief description of the studied speeches, comparing them with other Slavic in the metropolia and in Ukraine. This necessitated the use of the descriptive method on the one hand and the comparative method on the other. Some more interesting manifestations of the verbal expression of the content of the main colours white and red in the folkloric discourse in the Bulgarian migrant speeches in Ukraine and in Metropolia are studied. These are: бяла Рада, бяла Мара, бял Димитър in Bulgarian speeches in Metropolia and bila dîvka, біла дівка, білий хлопець / білий легінь in Ukrainian Carpathian dialects – бяла/червена мишка and бяла/червена ракия. As a result of the research we came to the conclusion that the ritual text is the most favorable, if not the only sphere in which the meaning of words with the root *bel (бял) – ‘beautiful, pretty’ is realized, which is also fixed in the Carpathian languages of Ukraine. In the studied Bulgarian migrant languages we fix the variation of the lexemes white/red in the names of weasel and rakija: бяла / червена мишка and бяла / червена ракия. The colour red, considered beyond its relationship to white, is among the most widespread apotropaic colours in ancient cultures. This function is very widespread in Bulgarian folk life and folkloric discourse. The correlation between the pan-ethnic and the regional-local is traced, as well as the specificity of the ceremonial text. The examination of the semantic volume of the word бял `white` reveals the changes that have occurred in the development of individual meanings; in ceremonial discourse it is synonymous with the word червен `red`. The dialectal material we have brought forward can serve in the creation of the Enntolinguistic Dictionary of Bulgarians in Ukraine, highlighting the specific for Bessarabia.

O Parque Estadual do Utinga, PEUT, é uma unidade de conservação da natureza pertencente a categoria de proteção integral segundo o SNUC. Em 2018, período da pesquisa, o PEUT vinha sofrendo com as pressões da urbanização, gerando uma preocupação para seus usuários que havia aumentado em virtude de sua abertura para visitação pública. A hipótese era que o conhecimento dos benefícios gerados pelos serviços ecossistêmicos promovidos pelo parque influiria em ações mais efetivas de preservação não só pelo poder público, mas, também, pela população em geral. Assim, o objetivo foi estimar o valor econômico do PEUT, tendo como metodologia o método de valoração contingente. Foram calculados a disposição a pagar pelo uso do parque obtendo o valor médio per capta de R$ 15,75 e o VET, por sua preservação de R$ 5.670.000,00/ano. Ao utilizar-se o VPL com uma taxa de 4% ao ano ao longo de 100 anos e aplicá-lo ao Valor Econômico Total chegou-se ao valor de R$ 144.613.344,30. Conclui-se que a medida mostra forma de agregação de valor em termos de bem-estar para um parque urbano e ser replicada para outros parques no Estado do Pará ou em outras regiões.

Introdução: O trabalho em turnos pode alterar processos fisiológicos e comportamentais, que contribuem para o desenvolvimento e exacerbação de doenças. Objetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional e as comorbidades autorreferidas relacionando com o turno de trabalho de profissionais de saúde. Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico, realizado com 561 colaboradores. A coleta de dados ocorreu após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, foram registrados o peso, altura e circunferência da cintura. Resultados: 64,14% dos participantes apresentavam excesso de peso e 54,19% eram sedentários. Sexo, tabagismo e IMC foram associados ao turno de trabalho. O IMC foi maior entre trabalhadores dos turnos diurno e noturno comparados aos do diurno (p = 0,004) e foi diretamente relacionado à circunferência da cintura (p< 0,001). A presença e o número de comorbidades, hipertensão e diabetes foram associados ao IMC categorizado. Conclusão: A prevalência de excesso de peso foi maior que os achados nacionais. Mesmo não encontrando associação entre trabalho noturno e comorbidades, ações são necessárias para minimizar os riscos do trabalho e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos profissionais.

Published: July 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma ferramenta utilizada para priorização técnico-científica de espécies medicinais associadas à biodiversidade da Amazônia para subsidiar tomadores de decisão no fomento da cadeia de fitoterápicos.  Os dados foram obtidos em uma das etapas do projeto PROFitos-BioAM que consistiu na obtenção da opinião de especialistas sobre 4 espécies previamente selecionadas: Phyllanthus niruri, Theobroma cacao, Lippia alba e Carapa guianensis. Para o desenvolvimento da ferramenta foi utilizado o método TOPSIS. Os resultados apontaram que não existe uma espécie preferida predominante, ou seja, cada decisor aparentemente possui uma predileção para uma determinada espécie. A falta de convergência dilui os esforços para o surgimento de espécies que poderiam ser o “carro-chefe” da cadeia de fitoterápicos na Amazônia.
