Published: September 2022

Hemiplegic stroke is one of the major prevalent mortality in many countries including India. In hemiplegic stroke spasticity, and muscle atrophy results in the inability to move certain muscles. Most post-stroke complications like inability and shoulder pain are a major concern for therapeutic interventions. Recent advances have been made in the interdisciplinary approach of rehabilitation, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interface, and much more mainly targeting post-stroke complications. In the present case report study 55-year-old male addicted to tobacco, altered HBA1c, elevated neutrophils, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein and CT scan report of mild cerebral atrophy suggestive of hemiplegic stroke. The patient was admitted on a stretcher with no sensation in his left hand and Vaksanga (impaired speech). After receiving the patient and family member's consent the integrated treatment was initiated. After 15 days of integrated treatment including T-AYU-HM Premium, significant improvement in the patient’s condition was noticed. The patient recovered from the impaired mobility of the left hand and remarkable improvement in slurred speech. This confirms that the intervention of Ayurvedic medicine in post-stroke management and prevention of stroke might play a crucial role. More such kinds of interventional case studies or trials should be warranted to justify the same.

Authors: Gwardzińska Ewa , Chackiewicz Małgorzata
Published: September 2022

This research article aims to investigate the customs smuggling of intellectual property rights infringing goods in the EU. There is no doubt that it is a phenomenon that has accompanied humanity from the beginning of the development of trade, it cannot be eliminated, but its scale can be limited (D. Matthews, P. Žikovska, 2013). The analysis used data taken from reports on intellectual property right enforcement in the EU in 2009-2020. The results show the scale and new trends in customs smuggling of goods on the EU market, but the analyses carried out do not provide a clear basis lo conclude [hat the EU customs authorities are winning the fight against customs smuggling, despite the observed decrease in confiscated goods or the number of opened proceedings, as these drops are largely related to the lockdown due lo Covid-19 and the placing of goods with high customs risk under customs control.

Authors: González Renato R. , Llaugel Felipe A.
Published: September 2022

La motivación de la investigación, cuyos resultados se recogen en este artículo, es la de dotar de una herramienta que permita predecir el riesgo de deserción de los estudiantes del nivel básico y medio en el sistema educativo dominicano. Mediante modelos predictivos de minería de datos es posible determinar patrones de comportamiento del alumno(a), analizando la historia académica del estudiante junto a los factores socio económicos y ambientales, que determinan su condición de potencial desertor, asociándole un índice de deserción como probabilidad de abandono del sistema educativo.

Se han elegido 72 centros educativos del distrito escolar de Los Alcarrizos, así como una cohorte conformada por cinco periodos académicos comprendidos entre el 2009 y el 2014, como plan de prueba piloto de esta tecnología predictiva.

A partir de este pronóstico, y al ser extendido en el futuro el estudio a nivel nacional, las autoridades gestoras de cada centro educativo y del Ministerio de Educación podrían elaborar políticas de intervención efectivas y puntuales encaminadas a la retención de los alumnos y alumnas en el sistema educativo nacional (educación básica y media) y al mejoramiento de los procesos de los centros educativos en pro de la disminución del índice de deserción escolar.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of our paper is to analyze the main factors which influence fiscal balance’s evolution and thereby identify solutions for configuring a sustainable fiscal policy. We have selected as independent variables some of the main macroeconomic measures, respectively public debt, unemployment rate, economy openness degree, population, consumer goods’ price index, current account balance, direct foreign investments and economic growth rate. Our research method uses two econometric models applied on a sample of 22 countries, respectively 14 developed and 8 emergent. The first model is a multiple regression and studies the connection between the fiscal balance and selected independent variables, whereas the second one uses first order differences and introduces economic freedom as a dummy variable to catch the dynamic influences of selected measures upon fiscal result. The time interval considered was 1999-2013. The results generated using the two models revealed that public debt, current account balance and economic growth significantly influence the fiscal balance. As a consequence, the governments need to plan and implement a fiscal policy which resonates with economy priorities and the phase of the economic cycle, as well as ensure a proper management of the public debt, stimulate sustainable economic growth and employment.

Authors: Alsharif Ahmed , Md Salleh Nor Zafir , Pilelienė Lina , Abbas Alhamzah F. , Ali Javed
Published: September 2022

Despite several neuroscience tools existing, electroencephalography (EEG) is the most used and favoured tool among researchers because of its relatively low cost and high temporal resolution. Our study aimed to identify the global academic research trends of the empirical EEG studies in neuromarketing. This paper adopted the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol to identify relevant articles. A bibliometric analysis software (VOSviewer) was used to evaluate thirty open-access articles found in the Scopus database between 2016 and 2020. We found that the USA is the most productive country with five research articles that used the EEG tool in marketing studies, followed by Australia, Italy, and Malaysia with three articles each. According to the most prolific journals in neuromarketing, it has been found that Frontiers in Neuroscience journal (CiteScore 5.4) is the most prolific journal with two articles and 25 total citations, followed by Scientific reports (CiteScore 7.1) with two articles and eighteen total citations, which lead us to infer that the publications’ number does not necessarily reflect the citations’ number. The study provides a profound and comprehensive overview of academic research that used EEG in marketing research.
The Effect of Fiscal Policy Asymmetries on Business Cycle Correlation in the EU
Authors: Issever Grochová Ladislava , Rozmahel Petr , Litzman Marek
Published: September 2022

This paper reviews the role of bilateral fiscal differences, fiscal indiscipline and their joint effects in particular in determining business cycle synchronicity in the European Union (EU). Panel data comprising 28 EU members from 1999–2019 are used in the analysis. The two-step Instrumental Variable–Generalized Method of Moments (IV–GMM) is employed to estimate the effects of examined fiscal measures on business cycle correlations. The study finds that fiscal indiscipline doubles the negative effect of increasing fiscal differences on business cycle correlation compared to fiscally disciplined country-pairs. The findings suggest reopening the debate on fiscal policy coordination across Europe.
Attic black-figure pottery at Tomis: The Haimon Panter`s cup-skyphoi
Authors:   Institute for South East European Studies, Lungu Vasilica
Published: September 2022

Various fragmentary cup-skyphoi, both known and relatively unknown, from Tomis led me to consider questions relating to the identification and distribution of some Attic black-figure vases – probably, the earliest on the Tomis scene – and I shall briefly explore here a tentative redating of the first Greek presence on the site. The stylistic features of the selected sherds are treated here in relation to the Attic workshop of the Haimon Painter. They are strikingly different from contemporary products, and their creator is, in my view, to be one of the first Attic black-figure painters present in Tomis

The conservation of the mural “epidermis” of historical monuments. Methodological benchmarks
Authors:   CEPROCIM S.A., Bucharest, Romania, Mohanu Ileana , Mohanu Dan ,   National University of Arts, Bucharest, Romania
Published: September 2022

The methodological benchmarks dedicated to the epidermis of the historical monuments commented in this introductory text represents the contracted form of the good practice guide for the conservation-restoration of mural paintings made in the context of the sectorial research project named “Innovative methods and techniques for the evaluation of conservation-restoration interventions and the tracking of the state of conservation of traditional buildings in Romania”, which unfolded in 2019-2020. The epidermis of the historical monuments needs to be understood in its wider acceptance, from façade renderings to complex mural decorations and the great iconographic ensembles. This extremely nuanced identification of the field pursues the recuperation, as much as possible, of a historical monument in its authenticity, therefore in its organic unity where each element which defines its image and structure is treated in an egalitarian manner. Remaining within the sphere of generality, the article succinctly presents the principles which govern the interventions on the architectural surfaces, finally proposing the methodological stages of the conservation restoration process.

Service level modelling of motorized three-wheelers at un-signalized intersections under heterogeneous traffic conditions
Authors: Maji Abhijnan
Published: September 2022

In developing nations like India, due to non-homogeneity in traffic streams, the flow of motorized three-wheelers gets clogged. While studying the literature, researchers do not find any significant Level of Service (LOS) models for forecasting motorized three-wheelers' service quality at uncontrolled un-signalized intersections under heterogeneous traffic conditions. This study brings to an AI-based Three-Wheeler Level of Service (3WhLOS) model to evaluate the service quality offered by un-signalized intersections operating under mixed traffic conditions. Data are collected from 21 uncontrolled intersections located at 7 different cities of India. Spearman's correlation analysis is performed to fathom the influence of service parameters towards perceived 3WhLOS score. Bayesian Regularized Artificial Neural Network (BRANN) is adopted for the prediction of 3WhLOS scores. Sensitivity Analysis is also executed to determine the relative importance of each parameter and help the transport authorities to identify the issues and improvise them for the betterment of the users.
Economic Impact, Design, and Significance of Intermodal Freight Distribution in Pakistan
Authors: Shoukat Rizwan
Published: September 2022

The goal of this study is to quantify and analyse the costs of road-intermodal freight transportation in Pakistan. For the design of the problem, a performance model is utilised, which provides calculations of the costs incurred in road and intermodal freight transports. Our research shows a big cost difference between road and road-rail freight transport. The results show that the cost of road freight transport is 1.48 million Pkr/day and the cost of intermodal freight transport is 1.26 million Pkr/day for the delivery of 220 tonnes of cargo to the consumers. The quantitative analysis of real-life data from one of Asia's leading paper and board businesses used in this study demonstrates operational benefits of more than 60% cost reductions when switching from road to intermodal freight (road-rail) transport. Sensitivity analysis is also presented to assist decision-makers in selecting the most efficient and cost-effective mode of transportation.

Devido ao aumento da geração de resíduos sólidos orgânicos em eventos e à escassez de soluções eficazes para seu correto tratamento, técnicas de compostagem se mostram como uma alternativa ao tratamento desses resíduos no próprio local de origem. Através de estudo de caso do evento CasaCor Ceará 2019, o objetivo do artigo foi avaliar o processo de compostagem acelerada com apoio de equipamento eletromecânico, para o gerenciamento de resíduos orgânicos de grandes eventos. Metodologicamente, o estudo teve natureza qualitativa, quantitativa, exploratória e experimental. Realizou-se manuseio prático do equipamento eletromecânico com capacidade de carga de 20 kg, assim como registros manuais e via software Selletiva. Em face do exposto, durante 20 dias de observação e análises, foi constatado que, após o processamento de 24 ciclos de 45 minutos cada, 288,30 kg de resíduos orgânicos foram transformados em 245 kg de compostos prontos e distribuídos em 1.000 unidades de sacos de papel Kraft aos participantes durante o evento. Conclui-se que a metodologia aplicada, através da implementação da composteira eletromecânica, potencializou um eficaz gerenciamento de resíduos orgânicos em eventos e sua transformação em compostos, proporcionando um legado de mais valia socioambiental a ser adotado em atividades de características similares.

Multi-nuclear growth patterns in a rapidly changing Turkish city: a fringe-belt perspective
Authors: Ünlü Tolga , Baş Yener
Published: September 2022

The fringe-belt concept provides a basis for connecting urban growth patterns to internal processes of urban transformation. However, multi-nuclear growth patterns and the associated fringe belts require greater attention. The development of fringe belts in Turkish cities is discussed with particular reference to the city of Mersin. Especial attention is given to the development of an outer fringe belt which forms an ‘umbrella’ over the multi-nuclear pattern of the metropolitan area.

Urban regeneration, masterplans and resilience: the case of Gorbals, Glasgow
Authors: Feliciotti Alessandra , Romice Ombretta
Published: September 2022

Over the last 200 years, particularly since the Second World War, comprehensive spatial masterplans, aimed at increasing the efficiency, amenity and value of degraded urban neighbourhoods, have been developed widely in the UK. However, contrary to the assumption of their creators that stable long-term outcomes could be planned and achieved, resulting environments often failed to demonstrate the resilience necessary to deal with the multi-scale changes cities face throughout their existence, often worsening the problems they set out to solve. Masterplans have therefore been the object of strong criticism and only recently, guided by place-making principles, have they started to be re-evaluated. But are today’s masterplans any better equipped to respond to the pace of current urban change? How can masterplans help make places better suited to positively respond to changes over time? To answer these questions, we explore the concept of resilience by comparing examples of nineteenth-century, modernist and recent masterplans, in a 150-year longitudinal study of Gorbals, a district of Glasgow. The successive developments are observed against five resilience proxies: diversity, redundancy, modularity, connectivity and efficiency. Preliminary results suggest that the transition from the first to the second development produced a reduction in all resilience proxies, only partially recovered by the latest development.
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and clinical characteristics of Corynebacterium striatum cases from 2018 to 2021
Authors: Choi Inho , Lee Yangsoon
Published: September 2022

Background: Corynebacterium striatum is part of the normal flora of the skin, oral cavity, and intestine. However, it can be a pathogen causing endocarditis, pneumonia, arthritis, and meningitis occasionally. We evaluated the clinical features and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of C. striatum cases. Methods: Patients infected with C. striatum, who consulted infectious disease physicians and were admitted to Hanyang University hospital between January 2018 and January 2021, were enrolled for an antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST). We reviewed medical records of selected patients for information on diagnosis, specimen types, and antibiotics used before and after AST. AST was performed using E-test and interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M45 guidelines. Results: A total of 23 cases were evaluated, and average age of patients was 58.5 years. Ten cases were diagnosed sepsis. Eight cases were complicated with cancer, and five cases had wound infections. Four cases were treated with vancomycin prior to AST; in 13 cases, antibiotics were switched to vancomycin after AST. Resistance rates were highest for ciprofloxacin (93.3%), which was followed by cefotaxime (92.3%), penicillin G (87.0%), erythromycin (87.0%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (78.3%), and meropenem (76.5%). Conclusion: The patients infected by C. striatum were old and immunosuppressed, while many had cancer. Since C. striatum shows resistance to most drugs except vancomycin, we should consider conducting AST prior to antibiotic treatment.

Published: September 2022

Background: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 2020, many pharmaceutical companies have developed vaccines. To determine the efficacy of AstraZeneca’s and Pfizer’s vaccines, which were the first and second vaccines to be approved in Korea, respectively, we developed a method to measure their antibody-generating efficacies using immunology analyzers and a rapid antibody test available in Korea. Methods: The antibody-stimulating efficacies of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines were evaluated using Centaur® XPT SARS-CoV-2 (Siemens Healthineers, Germany), Elecsys® AntiSARS-CoV-2 S (Roche Diagnostics, Germany), and STANDARD F SARS-CoV-2 nAb FIA (SD Biosensor, Korea). Healthcare workers were enrolled in two groups: the Pfizer (121) and AstraZeneca (117) groups. Antibody levels were measured pre-vaccination, three weeks after vaccination, and 16 weeks after vaccination. Results: The Pfizer group comprised 41 males and 80 females, while the AstraZeneca group comprised 38 males and 79 females. Antibody results were analyzed after excluding four individuals who had recovered from COVID-19. Between weeks 3 and 16, there was no significant difference (P= 0.5, 1.0) between the results of the Roche and Siemens antibody tests in the Pfizer vaccine group. However, the SD biosensor results comparing with the Roche and Siemens antibody tests at three weeks after the initial vaccination showed a significant difference (P < 0.0001). Analysis of the Roche antibody test results before, at three weeks, and at 16 weeks after the administration of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines revealed a statistically significant difference between before and at three weeks after the first injection (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: After two doses of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines, antibody formation was above the 90th percentile of the measurement range in all subjects.

Authors: Krot V. S.
Published: September 2022

To form a transplant from the left part of the large intestine, it is necessary to take into consideration the character of its blood flow. It is very important to resect the lower one-third of the sigmoid intestine efficiently. The intersection of sigmoid arteries lower the first sigmoid artery and lower the branches of the first sigmoid artery leads to its necrosis. It is connected with the break and constriction of the anastomoses that are lower that level. To furnish a well circulated and adequate in its length lowering loop of sigmoid intestine it is necessary to perform revascularization of the left part of the large intestine at the account of the transplantation of lower mesenteric artery with aorta on the general iliac artery. The proposed method of revascularization will make it possible to eliminate such severe complication in the lowering of sigmoid intestine as necrosis of intestinal loop.

Authors: Lyzikov A. A. , Achinovich S. L. , Pechyonkin A. A.
Published: September 2022

The aim of the study. To study the functional adequacy of different vascular conduits. Material and methods. The morphological and functional qualities of femoral vein in comparison with those of superficial vein and artificial prosthesis in 12 pedigreeless male dogs weighted 15,3 ± 3,7 kg have been studied. All the dogs underwent ilio-femoral bypass with combined conduit, sewn from the fragments of femoral vein, superficial vein and polytetrafluorinethylene vascular prosthesis. The specimens were obtained in the interval of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Mann-Whitney`s U-criterion, a non-parametric method for comparison of two independent samples was applied to compare the quantities that are not subject to Gauss` distribution. Results and discussion. The apex of morphological-functional rebuilding of veins, caused by their involvement in arterial flow, seems to appear in the interval from 3 to 6 months since the implantation. The changes of femoral vein occur earlier then those of subcutaneous vein. The dystrophic signs are less expressed in femoral vein. The morphological-functional properties of femoral vein differ from those of superficial vein. A peak of regenerative processes on the surface of the artificial vascular prosthesis falls on the term of 6 months. The later termed involutive processes prevail over the regenerative processes.

The aim of the research was the comparative analysis of various biochemical blood values in young and elderly patients, suffering from chronic hepatitis. The biochemical blood values characterizing the functions of liver, lipid, carbohydrate, proteins metabolisms as well as iron metabolism were studied in 24 young and 22 elderly patients with chronic hepatitis. The elderly patients revealed more expressed features of cholestatic syndrome, hyperlipidemia as a sign of lipid metabolism impairments (high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides). Also the patients of the elderly group revealed authentically higher levels of serum iron and ferritin, reflecting the presence of iron overload syndrome. The received results make it possible to assume an essential role of metabolic impairments in progressing chronic liver diseases in the elderly age.

Published: September 2022

O mercado de trabalho é um dos ambientes mais afetados pela volatilidade das economias. Nesse contexto, o caso dos jovens é ainda mais dramático, sendo a faixa etária mais afetada por esses ciclos de expansão e depressão. Por outro lado, a qualificação profissional surge como mecanismo de resposta à maior competitividade entre os trabalhadores e a oferta dessas capacitações no Brasil, por muito tempo atrelada ao Estado, é cada vez mais relacionada ao “Terceiro Setor”. Assim, o presente trabalho busca avaliar, através de um modelo de regressão logit, quais características socioeconômicas impactam na probabilidade de entrada dos candidatos no projeto de capacitação profissional oferecido pelo Trilha Jovem Iguassu (mantido por uma entidade do Terceiro Setor) aos jovens do município de Foz do Iguaçu – PR. Com isso visa-se fomentar as discussões no meio acadêmico sobre o tema, bem como as tomadas de decisão dos policy makers envolvidos no planejamento, execução ou avaliação de programas similares. Dentre os resultados, destacam-se a maior probabilidade de entrada no projeto de jovens brancos, do sexo masculino, cujas famílias são beneficiárias do Programa Bolsa Família e que não falam inglês; e menor probabilidade de jovens com 16 anos de idade. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de discussão dos critérios adotados atualmente no processo de seleção, a fim de verificar se os objetivos do projeto estão sendo atendidos.Palavras-chave: Jovens, Emprego, Programas sociais, Qualificação profissional, Econometria.
