Authors: Badaire Pierre , Robert Maxime T. , Turcot Katia
Published: July 2024

Background: The company Ethnocare has developed the Overlay, a new pneumatic solution for managing volumetric variations (VVs) of the residual limb (RL) in transtibial amputees (TTAs), which improves socket fitting. However, the impact of the Overlay during functional tasks and on the comfort and pain felt in the RL is unknown. Methods: 8 TTAs participated in two evaluations, separated by two weeks. We measured compensatory strategies (CS) using spatio-temporal parameters and three-dimensional lower limb kinematics and kinetics during gait and sit-to-stand (STS) tasks. During each visit, the participant carried out our protocol while wearing the Overlay and prosthetic folds (PFs), the most common solution to VV. Between each task, comfort and pain felt were assessed using visual analog scales. Results: While walking, the cadence with the Overlay was 105 steps/min, while it was 101 steps/min with PFs (p = 0.021). During 35% and 55% of the STS cycle, less hip flexion was observed while wearing the Overlay compared to PFs (p = 0.004). We found asymmetry coefficients of 13.9% with the Overlay and 17% with PFs during the STS (p = 0.016) task. Pain (p = 0.031), comfort (p = 0.017), and satisfaction (p = 0.041) were better with the Overlay during the second visit. Conclusion: The Overlay’s impact is similar to PFs’ but provides less pain and better comfort.

Published: July 2024

In large public places such as railway stations and airports, dense pedestrian detection is important for safety and security. Deep learning methods provide relatively effective solutions but still face problems such as feature extraction difficulties, image multi-scale variations, and high leakage detection rates, which bring great challenges to the research in this field. In this paper, we propose an improved dense pedestrian detection algorithm GR-yolo based on Yolov8. GR-yolo introduces the repc3 module to optimize the backbone network, which enhances the ability of feature extraction, adopts the aggregation–distribution mechanism to reconstruct the yolov8 neck structure, fuses multi-level information, achieves a more efficient exchange of information, and enhances the detection ability of the model. Meanwhile, the Giou loss calculation is used to help GR-yolo converge better, improve the detection accuracy of the target position, and reduce missed detection. Experiments show that GR-yolo has improved detection performance over yolov8, with a 3.1% improvement in detection means accuracy on the wider people dataset, 7.2% on the crowd human dataset, and 11.7% on the people detection images dataset. Therefore, the proposed GR-yolo algorithm is suitable for dense, multi-scale, and scene-variable pedestrian detection, and the improvement also provides a new idea to solve dense pedestrian detection in real scenes.

Published: July 2024

Phosphorus (P) is a crucial nutrient in lake ecosystems and organic phosphorus (Po) is a significant component. However, the distribution characteristics and migration behaviour of Po in ice–water–sediment systems under freezing and thawing conditions in cold and arid regions remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the forms of Po and its contribution to endogenous P pollution. We selected three lakes (Dai, Hu, and Wu Lake) and employed phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) techniques to analyse the following: (1) The total phosphorus (TP) content, which was the highest in the water from Dai Lake (0.16 mg/L), with substantial seasonal variation observed in Wu Lake, where P content was four times higher in summer than in winter because of farmland drainage. (2) Eutrophication analysis, which indicated that Dai Lake had significantly higher eutrophication levels than Wu Lake, with P being the controlling factor in Dai Lake and both N and P in Wu Lake. The proportion of Po in the TP content was 90%, 70%, and 55% for Wu, Dai, and Hu Lake, respectively, indicating that Po was the main component of eutrophic lakes. (3) 31P-NMR, which revealed that orthophosphate (Ortho-P) and monoester phosphate (Mon-P) were the main P components in the winter, with a higher P content in Dai Lake. Ortho-P has a higher content in ice, indicating that inorganic phosphorus (Pi) migration is the main factor in ice–water media. Mon-P showed multiple peaks in Dai Lake, indicating a complex composition of adenosine monophosphate and glucose-1-phosphate. (4) The ice–water phase change simulation experiments, which showed that phosphate was the least repelled in ice, while pyrophosphate (Pyro-P) and macromolecular P were more repelled. Adding sediment enhanced the migration of P but did not change the repulsion of macromolecular P, suggesting the molecular structure as the main influencing factor. These results provide important scientific evidence for the quantitative analysis of Po pollution in lake water environments, aiding in P load reduction and risk prevention and control.

In recent decades, increases in temperature and tropical rainfall have facilitated the spread of mosquito species into temperate zones. Mosquitoes are vectors for many viruses, including West Nile virus (WNV) and dengue virus (DENV), and pose a serious threat to public health. This review covers most of the current knowledge on the mosquito species associated with the transmission of WNV and DENV and their geographical distribution and discusses the main vertebrate hosts involved in the cycles of WNV or DENV. It also describes virological and pathogenic aspects of WNV or DENV infection, including emerging concepts linking WNV and DENV to the reproductive system. Furthermore, it provides an epidemiological analysis of the human cases of WNV and DENV reported in Europe, from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2023, with a particular focus on Italy. The first autochthonous cases of DENV infection, with the most likely vector being Aedes albopictus, have been observed in several European countries in recent years, with a high incidence in Italy in 2023. The lack of treatments and effective vaccines is a serious challenge. Currently, the primary strategy to prevent the spread of WNV and DENV infections in humans remains to limit the spread of mosquitoes.
Estimate for the Neutrino Magnetic Moment from Pulsar Kick Velocities Induced at the Birth of Strange Quark Matter Neutron Stars
Authors: Ayala Alejandro , Bernal-Langarica Santiago , Manreza-Paret Daryel
Published: July 2024

We estimate the magnetic moment of electron neutrinos by computing the neutrino chirality flip rate that can occur in the core of a strange quark matter neutron star at birth. We show that this process allows neutrinos to anisotropically escape, thus inducing the star kick velocity. Although the flip from left- to right-handed neutrinos is assumed to happen in equilibrium, the no-go theorem does not apply because right-handed neutrinos do not interact with matter and the reverse process does not happen, producing the loss of detailed balance. For simplicity, we model the star core as consisting of strange quark matter. We find that even when the energy released in right-handed neutrinos is a small fraction of the total energy released in left-handed neutrinos, the process describes kick velocities for natal conditions, which are consistent with the observed ones and span the correct range of radii, temperatures and chemical potentials for typical magnetic field intensities. The neutrino magnetic moment is estimated to be μν∼3.6×10−18μB, where μB is the Bohr magneton. This value is more stringent than the bound found for massive neutrinos in a minimal extension of the standard model.

Published: July 2024

This study presents an energy regeneration model and some theory required to construct a regeneration braking system. Due to the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, there is increasing interest in the use of electric vehicles (EVs), electric bikes, electric bicycles, electric buses and electric aircraft globally. In order to promote the use of electric transportation systems, there is a need to underscore the impact of net zero emissions. The development of EVs requires regenerating braking system. This study presents the advantages of regenerative braking. This system is globally seen in applications such as electric cars, trams, and trains. In this study, the design specification, design methodology, testing configurations, Simulink model, and recommendations will be outlined. A unique element of this work is the practical experiment that was carried out using 1.5 Amps with no load and 2.15 Amps with a load. The discharge voltage was purely from the 22 W bulb load connected to the capacitor bank as we limited this study to the use of 1.5 Amps and it took 15 min for a full discharge cycle, after which no charge was left in the capacitor bank. The results showed that the discharge rate and charging rate for the regenerative braking system were effective but could be improved. The objective of this paper is to investigate how a supercapacitor works alongside a battery in regenerative braking applications. This study demonstrates that the superconductor used can deliver maximum power when required. Also, it can also withstand elevated peaks in charging or discharging current via the supercapacitor. Combining a battery with a supercapacitor reduces the abrupt load on the battery by shifting it to the capacitor. When these two combinations are used in tandem, the battery pack’s endurance and lifespan are both boosted.

Authors: Nikitin A.O. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: July 2024

In this work, based on the dispersion characteristics of spin waves and the theory of the magnetoelectric effect, a mathematical model of a multiferroic structure behavior in a non-uniform electric field is constructed. The nature of the exchange interaction is taken into account, and the Rado-Wirtman exchange boundary conditions are also considered based on their representation in terms of free energy density. Based on the constructed mathematical model, the contribution to the dispersion pattern of spin waves of an external electric field of different polarities is estimated. In conclusion, a number of cases of application of the constructed mathematical model in the design of electronically controlled devices for the directional propagation of spin waves, as well as basic devices for neuromorphic computing, are given.

A tested version of a test bench for studying the temperature dependence of the integrated current sensitivity of photodetectors is described. An original optical thermostat with a vertical beam path was used. This has made it possible to avoid the use of additional optical windows in the thermostat. Temperature control was carried out by a forward-biased emitter junction of a germanium transistor. The bias current was 100 μA. An experimental calibration of the temperature sensor was carried out in the range from 77 to 373 K. A blackbody model with a temperature of 800 K was used as a radiation source. Electrical circuits of the sensor and signal recorder for photodiodes are presented.

This article discusses the results of a correlation analysis between the indicators (parameters) of the established amount of tone in the spectral group of reflected visible light and corrosion resistance for single-phase nickel alloys of the Ni-Cr-Mo: Kh30N60M9, Hastelloy G-35 systems with a solid solution structure. The initial data for the analysis were the data obtained as a result of the analysis of the tone components of the reflected visible light by calculating the wavelength of the reflected light. The developed software estimated the amount of tone in the participating color groups, reflected visible light, where the tone is estimated by wavelength, determining the participating color groups. Further, the amount of tone determined in the color group is recalculated by the number of image elements - pixels, already offering the tone density in the color group. Corrosion rates were determined by a standard gravimetric method according to ASTM G-28 "A". Correspondence of the parameters: tone and corrosion rates for the alloys under consideration after various heat treatments indicated their high negative connection. The established fact allows us to state that a larger tone value determined for the pixel fragment characterizes a lower corrosion rate and better corrosion resistance in identical test conditions. The indicator correlation coefficient is determined at the level of - 0.93

An analysis of the morphological state of the liver was carried out in 160
patients with obstructive jaundice of non-tumor etiology who received treatment in the
Novgorod Regional Clinical Hospital and Central City Clinical Hospital. The results of
liver biopsy during surgery were studied. Pronounced structural and functional changes
in liver tissue were revealed, which were further aggravated due to an increase in the
duration of occlusion. In cases with long-term chronic jaundice, after decompression of
the bile ducts, sclerotic changes, histiolymphocytic infiltration and proliferating
biliary epithelium, fibrosis and foci of hepatocyte necrosis remain in the portal
tracts. Ultrastructure analysis revealed changes in the cell membrane, cytoplasmic
structures, destruction of mitochondrial membranes, formation of secondary lysosomes,
disruption of the integrity of the nuclear membrane and signs of karyolysis. The study
of puncture and surgical biopsies for obstructive jaundice makes it possible to
establish the form and severity of cholestasis and, along with other diagnostic
indicators, affects disease prognosis and the tactics of surgical treatment. Taking the
different timing and severity of cholestasis into account, it is necessary to use
therapeutic technologies in advance that lead to an improvement in liver morphology.

Authors: Abgaryan N. ,   Yerevan State University, Vermishyan H. , Mirzoyan M. ,   Yerevan State University,   Yerevan State University
Published: July 2024

Urban spaces are complex environments shaped by diverse perspectives and representations. This study explores the relationship between language and space in Yerevan, aiming to enhance our understanding of the city's dynamics. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks from Victor Vakhshtayn, Henri Lefebvre, Kevin Lynch, Edward Glaeser, and David Seamon, the research examines how Yerevan is represented by tourists. Through thematic interviews with tour guides, analysis of tourist information leaflets, and document studies of “Inside Yerevan” maps, the study uncovers two primary challenges: geographical limitation and onedimensional representation. To address these challenges, a multifaceted approach is proposed, including diversifying tour routes, integrating social and symbolic spaces in tour narratives, and promoting authentic local experiences. The “Inside Yerevan” map offers a promising solution by highlighting local favorites and lesser-known gems. Ultimately, by embracing diversity and authenticity, Yerevan can create a more sustainable tourism model that benefits both visitors and residents.
Visual representation of the historical city in digital media
Authors: Shirokova O. V. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: July 2024

The article analyses the visual representation of the historical city in digital media as one of the leading ways of urban identity forming. The author shows that the connection of the image with the city, which is a territorial carrier of visual and symbolic information, and with city digital representation is established and coordinated with the help of an intermediary – digital media, including social networks. On the example of Veliky Novgorod, it is investigated how the image of the city in the media environment shapes the idea of the real urban space for most Internet users. The article identifies the main elements of urban space that emphasize Veliky Novgorod’s status as a historical city: culturalhistorical and natural-landscape. The visual representation of the historic city emphasizes the uniqueness of a place and expresses local identity, which allows to distinguish a certain urban space in the endless flow of visual data. At the same time, the author notes that digital media do not display the entire urban space, but only the part that is recorded and then actively disseminated by Internet users. Such incompleteness of the visual representation of the historical city provokes the emergence of socio-cultural distortions: the reproduction of basic visual patterns works to form a stereotypical image that does not reflect the heterogeneity of the real urban environment.
Cityscape as a cultural value
Authors: Avanesov S. S. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes cityscapes from the point of view of their value for the formation and preservation of the spatial and temporal unity of the cultural landscape of the historical city. The author distinguishes between cityscapes (urban views) as images of any urban location or composition and cityscapes (urban views) as configurations of architectural and other material spaces that we can observe in a real urban environment. The cityscape is defined in this article as a freely perceived, “readable” architectural urban composition, having high artistic significance and “supporting” the surrounding urban tissue, being the most important factor in the activity of citizens and guests of the city, and is also “responsible” for a specific identity urban space as a whole. A cityscape usually consists of several spatial patterns. The space of a traditional Russian city is formed as a system of urban views that reveal both its geographical design and its sacred semantics. Damage (destruction) of one or more cityscapes leads to degradation of the urban environment as a whole. The author defines the main reasons for the destruction of cityscapes and determines the consequences of these processes. The author concludes that cityscapes (urban views), as spatial structures that form the supporting frame of the visual environment, are fundamental part of the entire culture structure called ‘the city’. The system of urban views carries a number of integration functions: logistic, aesthetic, semiotic, local-historical, cultural-identification, social. The system of cityscapes directly reveals the specifics of the city. The preservation of cityscapes as fundamental pillars of the urban environment and as cultural heritage values ensures the actuality of the historical past, the spatialtemporal unity of an identical urban environment, and also instills in citizens a sense of belonging to their city, which exists only in a ‘long time’ of culture.
Expert interview on the cultural code of Veliky Novgorod: The modernity of the historical city
Authors: Gavrilov A. M. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Speshilova E. I. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: July 2024

The expert interview is devoted to the analysis of the cultural code of Veliky Novgorod and to the architectural techniques, which represent it in the urban environment. The expert considers the general concept of cultural code and examines the modern situation of Veliky Novgorod, where only a small part of authentic objects has been preserved, as most of the structures were destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. Also, the expert evaluates various city objects and projects in terms of combination of Novgorod architectural motifs and modern solutions in them, and emphasizes that the design code, which has been introduced in Veliky Novgorod since 2024, is very poorly connected with the cultural identity of the city. The key thesis of the interview is that all urban objects that are located outside the historic part of the city (outside the berm boundaries) should be resolved in a modern architectural language. In addition, the creation of new projects in contrast with the existing urban environment is described as one of the possible and productive strategies for working in the historical area of the city.

Authors: Белугина И.Н. , Яговдик-Тележная Е.Н.
Published: July 2024

На территории Республики Беларусь иксодовый клещевой боррелиоз (ИКБ) – часто регистрируемая патология, для которой трансмиссивный путь передачи рассматривается как основной. Заболевание характеризуется полиморфизмом клинических проявлений с вовлечением в патологический процесс кожи, при котором на каждой из стадий могут формироваться различные дерматологические феномены. Поскольку факт присасывания клеща не всегда очевиден, а кожные проявления при ИКБ схожи с проявлениями других дерматологических заболеваний, представляется актуальным разбор клинических случаев, что поможет практическому врачу в проведении дифференциальной диагностики данных заболеваний.

Ixodic tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) is widespread in Belarus. This disease is caused by tick-borne pathogens such as bacteria of the genus Borrelia. Clinical manifestations of ixodic tick-borne borreliosis include erythema migrans and varying characteristic signs. In individual cases there are difficulties to recognize the tick bite and early disseminated infection because of non-specificity of dermatological symptoms. We present clinical reports of patients with ixodic tick-borne borreliosis to help to determine early diagnosis based on dermatological examination.

Published: July 2024

Рак шейки матки (РШМ) на фоне выпадения матки встречается крайне редко. Измененная анатомия осложняет лечение основного заболевания. Мы представляем случай инвазивного РШМ у пациента с невправимым полным выпадением матки, а также обзор литературы, в том числе с изложением результатов подобных клинических наблюдений в мире в двух систематических обзорах. Из-за своей редкости стандартные рекомендации по лечению пациентов при наличии этих сосуществующих состояний не разработаны. Оптимальные варианты включают хирургическое вмешательство, лучевую терапию или комбинацию этих двух воздействий. Лечебные подходы значительно варьируют в публикациях разных авторов и должны быть индивидуализированы в каждом конкретном случае в зависимости от стадии РШМ и степени пролапса тазовых органов.

Cervical cancer (CC) associated with uterine prolapse is extremely rare. Altered anatomy complicates the treatment of the underlying disease. We present a case of invasive СС in a patient with irreducible complete uterine prolapse and a review of the literature, including the results of two systematic reviews of similar cases. Due to their rarity, standard recommendations for the treatment of patients with these coexisting conditions have not been developed. Optimal treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of the two. Treatment approaches vary significantly in different publications and should be individualized in each specific case depending on the stage of CC and the degree of pelvic organ prolapse.

Рассмотрены тенденции мирового рынка высокотехнологичной продукции и неове ществлённых технологий, а также особенности участия США в международной торговле технологи ями. США входят в число стран -крупнейших экспортеров высокотехнологичной продукции и немате риальных технологий. Объем доходов США от экспорта высокотехнологичных товаров превышает поступления от экспорта неовеществленных технологий. В результате корреляционного анализа было доказано, что между ВВП США и экспортом нематериальных технологий наблюдается очень высокая корреляционная связь, чего нельзя сказать о корреляции между ВВП и экспортом высокотех нологичной продукции.

Развитие цифровой экономики требует системных усилий, направленных на создание благоприятной среды для развития цифрового бизнеса, стимулирование развития и внедрения новых технологий в экономической и социальной сфере. В настоящее время цифровизация мировой экономики происходит в рамках этапа Индустрия 4.0, которая характеризует текущий тренд развития автоматизации и обмена данными. Активная трансформация традиционных и создание новых отраслей экономики вследствие стремительного развития информационно-коммуникационных технологий требует определенной трансформации налоговой системы, переосмысления некоторых принципов и подходов налогового права. Важнейшими качествами цифровой экономики является возросшее значение режима налогообложения нематериальных активов для бизнеса. В этой связи в последние годы многие страны мира стали уделять особое внимание налогообложению операций с криптовалютами.

Затронувшие российскую промышленность санкции привели к сокращению взаимоотношений с другими государствами в рамках промышленной политики. С целью недопущения прекращения работы производств, основанных на импортных ресурсах, следует создавать (модернизировать существующие, восстанавливать прекратившие деятельность) и поддерживать российские производства с высококачественной и конкурентоспособной продукцией, а так же применяющие современные производственные технологии. На основе нормативной базы выделены основные направления развития государственной промышленной политики. В качестве гарантии товарного обеспечения и продовольственной безопасности рассматривается введенный в российскую экономику технологический суверенитет.

The sanctions that affected Russian industry led to a reduction in relations with other states within the framework of industrial policy. In order to prevent the cessation of production based on imported resources, it is necessary to create (modernize existing ones, restore those that have ceased operations) and support Russian production with high-quality and competitive products, as well as using modern production technologies. Based on the regulatory framework, the main directions of development of state industrial policy are identified. The technological sovereignty introduced into the Russian economy is considered as a guarantee of commodity supply and food security.
